About: My partner, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 6 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 4 month old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. We work from home full time and will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.

“I needed someone to walk Nola on short notice, so I immediately thought of KY. She has watched and walked Nola in the past, she is always concerned with her safety and well being when ever she takes care of her. Nola really likes spending time with KY, I feel like she can sense how much KY genuinely cares for animals especially dogs.”
3. Traci T.
“Traci was absolutely amazing to my sweet Penny. She even bought her a little skateboard to teach my bulldog how to skate since they are known to be great at it. Penny adored her and will use Traci for every Rover walk when needed. She’s prompt and committed to walking on time and very consistent. We love Traci!!”

7. Tiffany S.
About: I’ve always taken care of pets since I was little and have always had an assortment of my own. From chickens to hamsters to dogs I have a big heart to give a lot of love to dogs who are in my care. I work remote most of the week with a fairly light work schedule so my dog gets a lot of play time and would love to have a friend around! I have a fenced in yard and love to spend time outside with my dog throwing the ball around, teaching new tricks, giving belly scratches and many other fun things. I have a very lovable dog who would love to have a fried to either nap with or play with during the day if care is at my home. I’m very patient and have a gentle manner that works great with children and pets.
8. Annalise D.
“Look no further for an amazing dog walker! From the moment I met her, it was clear that her focus was not on meeting me but getting to know my dog. Which is exactly what I want!! Can’t wait for future walks with her, and Mochi was smitten the moment she pet him.”
9. Kristin B.
About: Are you looking for a more personal dog sitting experience rather than kennel? I will keep to your dog's routine with feeding schedules and outside breaks. I have two of my own spoiled dogs and a well behaved 12 year old son. We live in a few acres with a large privacy fenced backyard with plenty of room to play! I can give your pet lots of love and attention, and outside play time! I work at a local vet clinic taking care of many different animals with a variety of needs (including medication). I am very easy to contact, if necessary. I have references available upon request! I can't wait to meet you and your fur family- always open to meet and greets but up to your comfort level :) I prefer a weeks notice to adjust scheduling. Your dog must be dog and cat friendly. Outside breaks are offered in the morning, afternoon, early evening and evening. Breaks are typically 15-20 minutes or more but also dependent on weather. Feeding schedule can be 1-3 times a day. I have a six foot privacy fence and latched gates. All doors are locked when I'm away from home and at night. We're in the country away from any busy roads.
10. Missy E.
“Missy watched our two pups while we were on vacation for a week and I could not recommend her more! Our pups loved her, she was great to communicate with, assisted with other needs while we were gone (getting mail, offering to water for plants, change sheets, etc). We received picture updates of our pups almost daily which put us at ease. We could not be more thankful for Missy, to have someone love our pups as we do and trust someone within your home is hard to find. Cannot recommend Missy more!!”

I have been at her home for play dates with six dogs and she is calm and relaxed. Nothing phases her because she’s in her happy place surrounded by furry friends! You can rest assured that your pup is in good hands with Heather.”

17. Jenna S.
About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.
18. Madison L.
About: I have taken care of many breeds of dogs since I was practically 6 I am able to stick to a schedule and direct direction. I can work whenever I’m needed for however long and mix in the time with my pets and animals but balance it with other pets I will make sure of what it okay for your pet to be doing and that everything is put away where I got it I will make sure not to touch anything not involving the dog I will message if I need further information.
