About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me. I am free most mornings and nights and have longer breaks during my work day that would allow flexibility for drop ins and walks all week. I am able to come to your home and provide for your pet's needs including walks, feeding, potty breaks etc. I've even been known to clean a litter box or two. Can provide references upon request.

“Our doggies were very happy upon pick up. They didn’t want to leave. Karen was great. Her facility was clean and organized. We will definitely be back.”

“Sage was in good hands with Candida! When we picked him up he seemed to be tired, but in good spirits from a lovely day playing with the other pups in Candida's care. I loved all the photos Candida sent and she has such a lovely home. Would 100% book again! Thank you so much!!”

“Moo has a wonderful time, arrives and leaves a happy little guy, and is a content and tired pup that night. Moo is quite outgoing, so it is helpful to have the socialization opportunities with the dogs and people. It is comforting to know he is in such a welcoming and caring space!”

About: I am a dog lover who work from home, so your pup will always have care and attention. My own sweet dog Nila loves having canine friends over to play or relax with! I'm happy to set up a meet & greet sessions beforehand. I pride myself on being highly communicative—expect lots of photo and video updates throughout the day :) I stay home Thursdays-Sundays. This means your pup will never be left alone for long stretches and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, walks, and play sessions throughout the day. We usually start the morning with a potty break and outdoor time. Midday includes more walks, visit to dog park, or play with Nila. We wrap up the evening with another outdoor break and wind-down time. Whether your dog is playful or prefers a quiet spot to relax, we’ll adjust the routine to meet their needs. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly residential area surrounded by parks, grassy trails, and trees. We live on the first floor, with quick and easy access to the outdoors, including a dog run.

About: I have two dogs of my own who I have raised since they were puppies, and they’re now happy senior dogs. Being with them throughout every stage of life has taught me so much about care, patience, and how to truly understand a dog’s needs. I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I am attentive, dependable, and go above and beyond to make sure pets are comfortable and well looked after. I’m home from college for the summer and have a very open, flexible schedule. I’m already caring for my two dogs every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I have the time and experience to give your dog the attention they need. I keep things calm and consistent, whether your dog is at my home or I am at yours. At home, I have two very friendly dogs and a safe space where everyone is supervised and comfortable. If I am in your home, I stick to your routine and make sure your dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat every dog with the same attention I give my own.

“Melissa is The Best!!! She takes great care of my dog and loves him so much. I 100% trust her with my dog all day. I am very lucky to have found her.”

About: I’m a school counselor (on hiatus) stay at home mom. I have 29+ years of experience pet sitting (starting when I was 8), with 15 of those years being professional dog handling when I used to help raise and train guide dogs for blind people. I have been using a similar dog boarding app for the last few years so I’m starting fresh on Rover but I assure you I’m experienced. I have a friendly pet dog and chickens. What can I offer? I can board your dog at my home or do home visits. I can help with minor dog training. And I’m experienced in several other animals. I have a fenced yard. I’m comfortable with big dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges (case by case). I’ve rescued 4 Rottweilers in the past with unique behavior issues. Why me? I’m particularly in-tune to animal needs, especially when their owners are away. I send lots of pictures and do what I can to keep them comfy. Your privacy is important to me. I respect the vulnerability of letting a “stranger” into your home or being responsible to keep your pet safe. Let’s discuss what I can do for you and your pet. Use this promo code to give pet owners new to Rover $20 off their first booking. Your Promo Code: LINDSS45396 I’m home during the day. Your dog becomes part of my “pack” during their stay, built around their comfort level. I have one pet dog and 2 small kids. Sometimes I have other boarded dogs but I’ll always confirm with both dogs’ families before I book an overlap. I have an infant and toddler that typically travel to gigs with me. Unless I can get my husband to take them after work hours. And two step daughters age 9&10. I put your pets needs as a priority, so if your pet isn’t fond of children, I won’t let my kids bug them. Boarding: dogs spend their stay in the ground floor of my home which is a large space with backyard access. We have a fenced yard. I do require your dog to be crated when I leave the home to run errands. This is for their safety and comfort. If you don’t want your dog interacting with mine, I am experienced in keeping dogs separate and safe. I’ve boarded/sat at least 100 dogs and I’ve never had any issues. Sitting: I can do the basics such as feeding and potty and meds. Plus, I can take your dog for walks or play in your yard. If you prefer, after all your pets cares are complete, I can arrange to bring my computer and work my remote job at your home for a couple hours a day to spend time with your pet. Or watch a movie with them.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and even more cats over the last 38 years. I love them and will love yours like my own. Semi retired looking forward to helping people out. I have a very flexible schedule and a very dog friendly home. We have one dog in the home sometimes too because I watch my daughter's dog. We have a big country yard, dogs would be monitored with a leash unless the dog is good at obeying commands. Big yard with walking trails.

“I was initially a little nervous about taking my small young pup anywhere but Sarah and Karl have been great! They are conscientious about watching my pup closely to keep her safe and also provide good stimulation and walks for her to keep her happy and engaged. I no longer have any qualms about leaving my pup with them and I'm so happy to have found them! Five stars!”

“Brenda and her girls are dog whispers. They collected our dog, who has bad separation anxiety and he instantly warmed to them, which never happens! They shared lots of photos of him too! When they dropped him off, he was in a happy playful mood, so we knew he had a great time!”

About: With 25 years of experience, I’ve cared for animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, horses, and livestock. Spending time on my grandparents' farm, I learned how to care for a wide range of animals, from taming feral kittens to handling large livestock. As a vet assistant, I have professional experience with senior pet care, medication administration, and special needs animals. My background with horses and livestock gives me the confidence to handle animals of all sizes, while my lifelong love for dogs and cats ensures every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s training a young pup, comforting an aging pet, or ensuring farm animals are well cared for, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to their needs. Your animals aren’t just another booking—they’re family. I work from home most days, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive pet care. I have an energetic dog who requires daily walks, and we frequently go hiking and visit the dog park—your dog is welcome to join if they’re comfortable in a pack setting! My schedule allows for plenty of outdoor activity and companionship for your pet. I also have 50/50 custody of my children (ages 7 and 10), who are in school during the day but may be home in the evenings. I’d prefer dogs who are comfortable around kids, but if your pup needs a quieter space, they can relax in our large basement when the kids are home from school. We’re an active, outgoing family that loves animals, and your pet will be treated like one of our own! Every pet is different, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. If your pet is well-trained and non-destructive, they are welcome to hang out with me throughout the day while I work from home alongside my own dog. We take regular walks, enjoy playtime, and, if they’re comfortable, they can even join us on hikes or dog park visits. If I need to step out for work onsite (which isn’t frequent), your dog may need to spend some time in a kennel for safety, but they will always receive at least 4-5 potty breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, engaged, and well cared for in a home environment. As a part-time veterinary assistant (now working just one Saturday a month), I’m highly experienced in handling pets safely and ensuring their well-being at all times.

About: I grew up on a farm and am an avid, life long lover of animals. I have more than a decade of direct dog sitting and walking experience. I have fostered cats, farm sat and done farming chores. I feel comfortable working all ages of dogs, follow directions related to your pet meticulously and always exceed expectations of my customers. References available upon request. I work no more than 32 hours per week, mostly from home. I have flexibility and am able to work around the schedule your best friend keeps/maintains. Because I have a large fenced in yard, all critters who stay with me can rome with safety. They can come in and out when they choose, as well will be let out every 1-3 hours. All critters lodging are fed seperatedly and are taken for daily walks. Couches and beds are pet zones and we want all guests to feel at home, comfortable and secure.

“My French Bulldog obviously had a wonderful stay as she has been resting most every minute since coming home. That means she had FUN!!”

About: I have pet experience ever since I was 5. I have experience with puppies, adults, and seniors. From small dogs to a great danes, i can care for any dog. Im able to take care of your animals in the morning and at night for the most part. I work midday shift mostly, some mornings. I have a 12 year old pug named Charlie, I make sure he gets what he needs, expecially since he has mobility problems. I can do pretty much anything, feeding, play time, walks, baths, ect.

About: I have about one year of professional experience in the industry, but have had many pets throughout my life. I have worked in the dog daycare industry for about two years. I have also had and cared for reactive pups! I currently working full time, however my mornings and evenings are filled with tons of play time with my favorite four leggers. When staying with us, there’s always someone in home to care for pups 24/7! I have a big unfenced yard with long lines in the front and the back so pups can be separated while outdoors. We have a complete living space on both floors so any pups can be separated and still feel at home. We have three pups and a few cats that get along well with others! All of our pups are crate trained, and we have many extra crates around the home in the event we have some crate trained friends over.
