About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old. I’ve had family and friends rely on me to care for their animals. My current work schedule is more flexible, so I would have a wider range of availabilities for pet care activities and daily walks, or drop-ins. Safety would always be a top priority. Whether it’s in my home, or your home, your pet is my focus and their joy is guaranteed.
“Mara did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our dog and cat while we were away for a weekend. She stayed in touch and sent a few pictures to let us know how they were doing and when she'd be heading out on the final day. Highly recommend and look forward to having her house sit and care for our pets again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I don’t remember a time without them. I have worked with a lot of animals that needed medications for healthcare problems. I do currently work a full time job and a volunteer job but I am looking to expand my horizon and spend more time with animals. My pets have a fenced in yard at home, I do also have a barn that I love to take the dogs out to to run at.
“Rhandee did a great job with our pups and was very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dogs prior to our trip, which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her again!”

Nathan B.
“I have known Nathan for a very long time and I can tell you from first hand experience that he is wonderful with pets of all kinds. Pets are drawn to him because they know he loves them. He has had two German Shephard dogs and they both were loved and cared for their entire lives. He is capable of walking long distances and can easily manage a dog that may not be the best leash walker. His confidence around pets makes them feel at ease and everyone benefits from that environment. If you get a chance to make Nathan a part of your pet's life you will be making a really good decision for you and your pet.”

Dayton pet parents share their Rover experiences
I can't recommend Kate enough! My doggo (Kooper) has some separation anxiety. When I reached out to Kate we discussed what her home would be like for a dog. I was a little nervous, because typically we ask sitters to come and stay at our house but decided that we would do a meet a greet to see how that went. Kate, Cody, Gus (dog), and Poe (cat) made our dog and us so comfortable. Gus and Kooper got along great and even though Koop has never been around cats, him and Poe were fast friends! Kate has a great yard for playing and her schedules allows for lots of 1:1 time with the pets. Kate was flexible, provided consistent updates, and was extremely responsive with her communications. Everything went wonderfully! Kooper was sent home happy, safe, and with a positive report card and goodies. I will definitely be connecting with Kate again about future visits!
