“He did a pretty good job taking care of my dog. He was attentive to my dog’s needs, made sure he was well-fed and even spent time playing with him. Also, he successfully kept my dog distracted from the fireworks (it was New Year’s Eve when we booked this Rover). It was clear that he genuinely cared, and I felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands.”
About: I have calm demeanor that puts even high strung and super protective dogs at ease. Older dogs and I get along well, with their special needs, and their quirky ways. We seem to get each other. I've had the great pleasure of getting to spend a lot of time with older dogs who need. My schedule is very flexible and am in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I am all about camaraderie, positive feedback and consistency. We co-care for a 6 year old pup with my in-laws and just recently lost our tabby brothers. They were 18 and passed away within 6 months of each other. Returning to Rover after a break during the pandemic. I am very happy to adopt whatever training regimes you've established. Looking forward to meeting the four-legged member of your family. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I try to keep my availiblity consistant for both the security and routine of the dogs and for my own planning. We have had cats and dogs and our home is pretty well pet proofed. Tailoring my care of your pet to their specific needs is really the name of the game. Their care is about their needs, not really about any notions I have.
About: I love to make dogs happy, have fun and enjoy life! Let’s take a lot of walks, eat good treats, and get lots of pets! Through the summer months I am totally open to accept pet sitting, dog walks, feeding, check ins whatever is needed! I work part time during school season. I always use a leash when caring for others pets, unless there is a fenced, safe area. I will follow the owners guidelines, exactly. Extremely responsible.
“We are from out of town and needed someone to watch our Honeybear for one night while we were at an event. Kimberly was warm and professional and good about giving us updates. Honeybear was well cared for and we are grateful to have discovered Kimberly!”
“I felt confident leaving Ernie with Mark while on vacation. Ernie was well-taken of, received lots of attention and care. I appreciated the updates, as I missed my little buddy. Highly recommend Mark!”
“Kaelyn was our lifesaver when she agreed to a last minute booking from us. Our dog Charlotte was so very well taken care of by her. We were sent updates and pictures daily and Charlotte looked so happy! Kaelyn kept Charlotte active with walks and plenty of outdoor play time. Thank you welcoming Charlotte into your home and caring for her.”
“This was a fantastic experience! Janet text pictures, gave multiple updates, and called to let us know how our dogs were doing. Janet is a VERY caring person who LOVES dogs. We are very excited to have such an awesome sitter for our puppies!”
“We are so happy to have found Jen and her awesome space, its exactly what we needed for our active pups! She sent pictures and updates throughout their stay and they came home tired which is always a good sign. We'll absolutely plan to use her again!”
About: I have had animals my whole life, particularly cats and dogs. I am comfortable working with medium and large breed dogs, high energy pets, senior animals, or pets with medical needs. I have helped family and neighbors care for their fur babies and would love the opportunity to help others! I specialize in caring for senior/special needs pets. I had two cats with varying degrees of kidney disease which required special diets and constant monitoring. They made frequent messes so I'm not afraid to clean up pet accidents. I'm happy to help any animals that need some extra care. I am available most weekends and holidays to care for your pet. Dogs staying at my house get potty breaks as often as possible. There will be lots of playtime and naps for both dogs and cats throughout the day. Dog walks will take place when the weather is decent and typically in the afternoon/evening. If I go out for errands, dogs are expected to stay in a crate (exceptions are considered. Please reach out for more details). Any animal that stays with us will be treated like family. Meet and greets are highly recommend for all services to make sure owner(s), sitter, and animals feel comfortable with one another. Dog Boarding/Day Care: I have a large fenced yard and three high energy pups that would enjoy having new friends to play with. I have lots of toys from stuffed to plastic to rope toys to keep them entertained. Dogs should be crate trained in case I need to leave for an errand (exceptions are considered. Please reach out for more details). Dogs must be okay around cats as they may interact with them when they are in the house. Dogs MUST be okay around children as I have a toddler (the child will never be alone with the dog). Dog Walking: We can walk around the neighborhood or go to a park. I will NEVER go to a dog park. I will only bring my dogs along for a walk if approved by the owner. Vaccines: All animals that enter my home must be up-to-date on vaccines. Dogs MUST have rabies and bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines. Owners must provide vaccination records for confirmation. All animals must be treated for fleas and ticks (as a precaution). This is a year-round requirement. I highly recommend Elanco K9 Advantix II for dogs. If needed, I can provide the medicine and apply to the pet for an additional cost (please reach out for more details). Drop Ins: I'm happy to stay for as short or long as needed to take care of the pet (feed, water, potty break, scoop litter box, administer medicine, etc.) and give them attention.
“We cannot say enough great things about our experience with Brynna!!! She was wonderful in accommodating our needs and was so flexible! Most of all, our puppy had a great time and was treated like family! This was our second time using Brynna’s service and our puppy just about ran us over excited when we dropped him off. If you want a home away from home environment with your pet, you won’t be disappointed with Brynna. She is sweet, accommodating, communicates quickly, sends updates/pictures and has plenty of room for your pet to safely play and enjoy!”
“I’m so glad I found Beth. She did an amazing job taking care of my dog on a last minute trip, was communicative, and friendly. My dog had a comfy stay with her. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.”
“I was so nervous leaving Moby for a long weekend, but he did great and was relaxed when I picked him up. Katie sent me pictures every day and assured me he was doing good. He’s never boarded at someone’s house in his 12 years, but he did so good I won’t hesitate to take him back to Katie!”
“Amazing. Carly didn't mind my extra texts checking on Marli. Made Marli very comfortable. Help socialize Marli with other dogs. Did great!! Sent picture updates. Will definitely be using her again. ??”
About: I have a loving home with 2 friendly, adorable dogs and 1 friendly cat. I take good care of them and also love the animals we come across! I work a normal Mon-Fri day job and am available outside those hours. I am caring and detail-oriented. You will be happy with the service. I will give pets the attention they need; including food, cleaning, walking and love. They will be happy with the environment that I provide them.

“Enrique was so caring of our Frenchie, Athena. He also sent video clips and pictures. They have a beautiful, fenced back yard that our dog really loved. I would definitely book again.”
“Terry and Fernanda are great! My dog was happy and well cared for. He had a couple of other dogs to play with which he loved. They took great care of my dog and I'll definitely take him back.”

“I know that Joseph Salyer is an ideal modern urban animal whisperer/lover. His diligence and attentiveness when caring for animals has always made me feel he would be an excellent father, and surpasses most anyones expectations. Which is why I enlist his puppy sitting services whenever I go someplace that isnt puppy friendly.”
