“I couldn’t be more grateful to have found such a wonderful puppy sitter! Kellie has a genuine love and deep understanding of animals, which shines through in the way she cares for my puppy, Charlie. From the moment they met, she connected with him, and now he’s always excited when it’s time for daycare. She’s incredibly caring, responsible, and always on top of things. I completely trust her to care for my pup while I’m at work all day — that peace of mind is priceless. Her communication is excellent, she keeps me updated, and she’s always punctual and dependable. It’s clear she treats every animal like her own, and I feel so lucky to have someone so dedicated looking after my fur baby. Highly recommend!”

About: **Experienced Dog Lover & Safe Haven for Your Furry Family** Dogs have been central to my life - I’ve cared for 6 beloved companions over the years, mostly rescues from shelters and the streets, plus one cherished family poodle. My experience spans various breeds including two pit bulls, a border collie, a Romanian raven (street dog), and currently Apollo, our one-year-old smooth collie who’s wonderful with other dogs and actively training. **Your Dog’s Safety & Comfort Come First** Our home features a fully fenced, secure yard designed to keep dogs safe - no escape routes here! Your pup will have doggy door access so they can move freely between house and yard. We maintain an active lifestyle with daily multi-mile walks, regular dog park visits, beach trips, and hiking adventures, but we’re happy to adjust our routine to match your dog’s specific needs and energy level. **Personalized Care & Attention** I limit my care to a maximum of 2 dogs at a time to ensure each pup receives the individual attention they deserve. Having raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, including working with rescues who needed extra patience and care, I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pet needs gentle encouragement, structured exercise, or just lots of love and attention, they’ll receive personalized care in our home. Your dog won’t just be watched - they’ll be genuinely cared for as part of our family. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine - it IS my routine. My days naturally revolve around my dogs’ needs and well-being. I start each morning with walks and feeding, and throughout the day I’m actively engaged with them whether we’re training, playing in the yard, or just spending quality time together. Evenings often include longer walks or trips to the dog park. Having cared for dogs for years, this rhythm feels completely natural to me. When I’m caring for client dogs, they simply join this established routine that already prioritizes canine happiness and health. As a homemaker, I’m available throughout the day to monitor, interact with, and respond to any needs that arise. Pet care isn’t an add-on to my life - it’s woven into the fabric of how I live. **In My Home:** Your dog will enjoy a secure, fully-fenced yard with doggy door access for indoor/outdoor freedom. I limit care to a maximum of 2 dogs to ensure individual attention and maintain a safe, escape-proof environment. Daily care includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise tailored to your dog’s needs, and plenty of companionship. We’ll follow your pet’s routine while incorporating our active lifestyle of walks, dog parks, and outdoor adventures. Your dog sleeps indoors with access to comfortable spaces throughout the house. I provide regular updates with photos so you know how your pup is doing. Any specific instructions for feeding, medication, or behavioral needs are carefully followed. My experience with 6 dogs over the years, including rescues with special needs, has taught me to read canine body language and respond to different temperaments. **Safety is paramount** - secure fencing, dog-proofed spaces, and constant supervision ensure your pet’s well-being. Your dog will receive experienced, loving care in a safe environment designed with their comfort and security in mind.

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and ability to make dogs feel safe and loved. I'm experienced with basic training and always provide personalized care. I truly treat every pet like family. I'm currently not working outside the home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus on pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I’m able to give them the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is a priority in my routine, and I love making it part of my everyday life. In my home, your dog will be cared for like one of the family. I have a friendly chocolate lab who loves the company of other dogs, and we have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure the environment is calm, clean, and supervised. Safety and trust are my top priorities—I want both you and your pup to feel completely at ease.

“So nice! Arianna was available to take my Nora as early as 6:30a which meant A LOT because I have to go to work at early times. Nora became comfortable with Arianna, Arianna’s dog and family very quickly. Arianna took Nora on a walk and was considerate to put on her booties so her paws wouldnt burn in the hot weather. When I picked her up Nora seemed refreshed and not anxious like she normally is when I pick her up from bigger daycares. She didn’t seem nervous or anxious at all on our car ride back. She was really happy. I think Nora had a great time and I felt reassured I could trust Arianna with Nora while I went to work”

About: I had 3 small dogs when I was younger and they passed away due to old. I currently have two dogs, one is pit bull and husky mixed and a puppy Yorkie tierrier. Both of them are super high energy. Love to play with them, they love walking, to the beach, to the park and love taking bath! I’ve taken care of my friend’s dogs as well. I work as a paraprofessional at an elementary school. I will have free time during the summer to take your dog to walk, sitting, and boarding. I have a fenced backyard, I have two dogs. One dog is outside and one dog is inside the house. My small dog can play with your fur baby company.

“Marivel took amazing care of Ollie! Lots of great pix / videos of Ollie were sent throughout the day. We are so thankful that we’ve found Marivel!”

“Tillana made my dog’s day! That was my dog’s first time going to daycare. He looked like he wasn’t sure what to do with the other pups when he arrived, but she helped him get along well so easily. At the end of the day, he was so happy and tired from all the playing. She even sent pictures and videos of my dog having a blast during the daycare! Thank you Tillana!”

“Jia took incredible care of our dog and was consistently responsive throughout. I felt completely at ease!”

About: Hi, I'm Kathryn! I’m an experienced, compassionate pet sitter offering personalized care, daily dog walks, and overnight stays. I work from home full-time as a journalist, which means your pup will have constant companionship, plenty of belly rubs, and lots of love. My passion for animals runs deep—I grew up at my mom’s dog daycare, where I was immersed in dog behavior training and care from an early age. We had labs growing up, and some of my favorite memories are of taking them on long adventures in the woods. These days, my partner and I share our home with our sweet shepherd mix, Ozzy. I’ve spent the last eight years caring for dogs while I lived all over the country. This is my first time on Rover, and I’m excited to build meaningful relationships with both pets and their people. I believe pet care should be accessible—not overpriced—so I strive to offer affordable, high-quality service that gives you peace of mind. We live in a beautiful, pet-friendly apartment with a secure back courtyard and quick access to local parks for playtime and walks. Your pet will be treated like family—safe, loved, and happy while you're away. For housesitting and boarding requests, I will be joined by my own dog Ozzy. If your dog prefers not to be around a young dog, then it may not be a fit. Looking forward to connecting! As a journalist who works from home, I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule—and I love using it to give animals the attention, care, and fun they deserve. With tenderness, love, and dedicated attention, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I can’t wait to meet your wonderful companion and make them feel right at home!

“Brisket had a great time with Danae, and it was so nice that she had a backyard he could sun himself in. Danae was super flexible with scheduling and we felt super confident leaving Brisket with her for the day. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
