“Maria did exceptional with my baby Snoopy! I was really scared since he suffers from extreme anxiety (He’s a rescue dog). He did great with Maria. She kept me informed and would send me pictures. She was very caring, gentle and comforting. Snoopy did very well with transition. I will definitely rebook with Maria.”


“Though new to Rover, Maritza was very good with our 15 yo Havanese Cisco for doggy daycare. There were two larger and younger dogs present as well. She’s working from home now, so she can take the dogs on frequent walks. She will soon have a large fenced in yard…even better! I will definitely use Maritza again, for overnights too.”


“Billy loves going to Mark’s. He literally jumps out of the car and runs to the front door. He’s so excited to be there so I know he’s taken care of. Mark’s daycare has saved me so much stress with worrying about my baby while I’m at work. I really love it, and so does Billy.”


“Our Pup had a great time, she was welcomed in and had a great time. Melisa is kind, laid back and Nola had a wonderful time. Her yard is fenced in and a safe environment. Would recommend and will use again”


About: I'm a lifelong dog owner that frequently pet sits for friends and family. I'd love to welcome your dog(s) into my home and give you the piece of mind needed to enjoy your trips, vacations or any other assistance you need while knowing your dog is in great hands and being treated like family! I provide frequent pictures & updates. Your pet's safety and well-being is my top priority and they will get tons of love and attention in my home. With four dog lovers in the house there is always a lap to cuddle in or someone to play with! A meet and greet before accepting your dog into my home is required to make sure all the pups will get along well - I have a Frenchie that is a couch potato and lovebug and also a Boston Terrier who is more high-energy and always wants to play. I work remotely so I am home all day with my dogs. I will take your dog out as often as needed, provide daily walks and ample attention and play time. I provide overnight care or daytime boarding in my home where they can play with my friendly dogs, or drop-in service during the day and evenings in your home. Your pet will always be closely supervised, provided with walks, outdoor potty breaks and inside play with my family and dogs. I have two children aged 10 & 12 and two medium sized dogs that love playtime (and naptime)! Feeding time is supervised and separate from my own dogs and if I need to leave home for any reason and the dogs will be left alone they will be left separately from my dogs and for short periods only. If you would like me to do drop ins I can provide that service as well. Happy to accommodate any needs or instructions! Before boarding your dog I will meet with you and your pet for around 20-30 minutes in my home and can also meet with you prior to providing drop-in or dog walking services as well.

“Melanie was great with Haylee and provided a fun day for our little girl. This was the first time we have used a dog day care with Rover and were not sure how Haylee would be. Melanie took time to meet us and Haylee. It was a comfort to know Haylee was in good hands as we got pictures and updates.”


“Truc watched our Russell terrier Ozzie for the day when we were in the area on vacation. Ozzie left happy and tired, and had a great time with her lab Calvin. Truc was very responsive and easy to communicate with, took special care to ensure Ozzie adjusted well, and even took him on a special adventure in town. Would highly recommend. Thank you Truc!”


“Jenna was great with our anxious and jumpy pup. She took him on walks, spent good time outdoors, sent regular updates, and had a great, calming demeanor with him. She was very flexible even when we came to her last minute. Definitely recommend!”


About: I currently volunteer at an animal shelter and love working with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and demeanors! I also have some basic training experience through my dog trainer, who also specializes in service work and behavioral training. My personal dog, Toffee (basset hound!), lived to be 16, and my favorite time with her was the patient walks and TLC needed as she got older--happy to support your senior animals too:) A couple other tidbits: I have experience working with farm animals (chickens, ducks, goats, and alpacas!) and majored in Environmental Science in college. Looking forward to meeting your furry ones! I currently work part-time remotely, so my schedule has lots of flexibility. I will balance my time with pet care through Rover and at the animal shelter, so I am happy to work with you to find good times (evenings and weekends included, depending on when). I prefer to meet or provide care at your home, but I also live in a very walkable neighborhood and have a dog park nearby. I currently live in an apartment, but have access to a fenced-in yard and a sprinkler for the hotter days. While I do not currently have a crate in my personal vehicle, I am happy to get one if you are more comfortable. I also have close friends with dogs and cats if play dates are helpful too!

About: Hello Rover customers, I have taken care of pets since I was a child and have taken care of my family’s fur babies since my kids were small. I am currently left with my senior cat at home but would love to take great care of your beloved fur babies. I am currently self employed and work part time during the weekdays. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate as needed with enough notice! I have a fenced in yard for my animals if needed but I am very careful in customer’s homes and make sure to not leave without checking my surroundings first so no animals gets out the door.

About: I've had pets since a young age from lizards, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and birds. I have a small dog of my own so I know I can give your pets lots the love and attention too whether they have fur, scales, or feathers! I work from home so all pets get get a lot of attention during the day. For dogs staying in my home, they get 3 walks a day in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I work from home so all pets get a lot of attention during the day. I love to spend my time after work going on walks and would love a buddy(s) to come with me! I am available from dog walking or in home visits after 5:15pm during the week and anytime on weekends. I think the best way to care for a pet is do exactly what they're comfortable with. I intend to have very open communication with pet parents to understand the likes, dislikes and behaviors of their fur-babies to make sure that they feel safe and comfortable. I do have a dog of my own so I also want to make sure all your pets get along with my Jax, who loves other animals.

“Krystal is amazing! I left my puppy with her and she took her on adventures and walks! Her pup is perfect to play with! Thank you for giving me peace of mind today! Will definitely be booking again!”


About: Hello! I've been an avid dog lover since I can remember. I have taken care of family and friends pups when they are away. My passion and the companions of a dog has made me want to own a dog of my own. I have my own pup of two years now and know how important it is to leave them with someone who will take great care of them, be safe and of course loved. I work remote Mon-Fri so trust me when I say I have plenty of time to play and walk your pup. They will be in great hands and company! During the weekends, I love taking my pup to an open yet dog secluded park to run, play, and train. I do have long leashes for safety, but if you are not comfortable with it- no worries at all, just please let me know. I'm also available most weekends for boarding per request. I have a pup of my own for your pups company as well! In my home I have a crate and can help with training if requested. The pups are free to roam around the apartment/furniture, and I take out to walk every two hours or so. Your pups will be in good hands, but I do request if your pup has a scheduled routine or specific needs/behaviors to please let me know so I can adjust to their needs and behaviors.

“Isabella is amazing! She took great care of our furry baby Max while we were away. Highly recommend and will reach out to her when we are back in the neighborhood. Thank you Isabella!”
