“Polly stayed with Tyila and her family for doggy day care and it was a wonderful experience. My pup enjoyed the attention of the children and also got to play with their pups. A win-win all the way around. Thanks so much. Already sent my next booking.”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I provide a loving, patient environment where every animal feels safe, happy, and well-cared-for, ensuring their routines, exercise, and comfort are a top priority. As a homeschool family, we’re home throughout the day, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Our flexible schedule allows us to include walks, feeding, and cuddle time naturally in our daily rhythm—your pet becomes part of our family’s routine. We have two dogs, Balto and Bayleigh. They are friendly and love meeting new friends. We live on 25 acres, and have cultivated a friendly environment for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. 😊

About: As a stay at home mom, I can assure that your fur baby will receive all of the love, attention, care, and interaction they could want or need! 💛. We have a large backyard and my kids and are I are around all day to let them out (or in) whenever they want. Our whole family loves animals of all kinds so we aren’t just limited to dogs and cats. We have years of experience with all kinds of pets and are looking forward to loving on yours! Our current menagerie includes: Islay- a sweet tempered 3yo Brittany who loves to run. She is great with other dogs and loves to be chased, but can also be super chill with dogs that are on the calmer side. Bingo- a 10yo humungous Ragdoll cat, who mostly sleeps and lays around all day—sometimes gracing us with his presence for ear scratches. Mayhem- a spry 2yo cat that adopted us after hitching a ride under my car (unbeknownst to me) as a kitten. He is sweet and playful but spends most of his time outside—coming in to eat then begging to be let out again. Ellie- a 3yo very friendly bearded dragon. Paul- a 1yo beautiful ball python. Ollie- a 1yo shy but gorgeous leopard gecko. And 7 chickens all named after First Ladies. I am a stay at home mom so, unless I’m dropping kids off at school or taking them to practice I’m home all day to meet the needs of your precious ones! I have a fully fenced in back yard with lots of space to roam, run, and sniff. Since I’m home all day, I’m able to let pups out whenever they want or need!

About: I have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes German Shepherds, Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, Australian Cattle Dogs (Blue Heelers), Bull Terriers, Cane Corsos, and Boston Terriers. I am comfortable with large, powerful breeds as well as small companion dogs. In addition to caring for family pets and dogs belonging to friends and neighbors, I was entrusted with the care of the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team (3ABCT), 1st Armored Division Bulldog Mascot while Soldiers were away for training. This experience required reliability, consistency, and attention to the dog’s daily needs and well-being. As a military veteran, I understand the importance of responsibility, trust, and clear communication. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, exercise, playtime, and ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need throughout the day. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, providing a safe, structured, and loving environment has become second nature to me. As a military veteran, I value consistency, reliability, and attention to detail. Whether caring for my own pets or those entrusted to me, I make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, supervision, and routine care. I enjoy spending time outdoors, which makes daily walks and active play a natural part of my lifestyle. Pet care is not an interruption to my routine, it is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and two friendly, well socialized dogs who can provide companionship if your dog enjoys interacting with others. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and routines. Pets in my care are treated like family and receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily separate or crate them when needed to ensure a safe, stress free environment for everyone.

“This was Polly's first visit with Olivia and it was awesome. Drop off and pick up was super easy. Olivia was very attentive and caring to Polly. She shared updates and pictures during the visit. Just an overall great experience. I would highly recommend Olivia to care for your pet. We will be rebooking soon. Thanks so much!”

Would love to help take care of your animals while you are away or unable to. I'm a single stay at home mom of 2 wonderful little boys. So I do have a flexible schedule for the most part. I am home the majority of the time. I have a shih tzu that can keep your fur baby company as well as 2 little boys whom love animals. I can take your pets on walks through the neighborhood. I can easily crate smaller animals. I would need larger animal crates provided for me. I can keep them at my home or check in on them at your home as well. Will feed, water, potty break, and play with your lovely fur babies! I stay at home with my children, so we are able to keep your fur babies company the majority of the time! They will for sure get lots of love and playtime in!

About: I have experience with a variety of pet sitting jobs, and in my previous Home Health Care work, part of my responsibilities included caring for clients’ pets. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, providing daily care, attention, and love to animals while they wait for their forever homes. Currently, I’m working toward a trainer certificate to further enhance my skills and provide the best care and guidance for pets. I have an amazing and flexible job working from home, so I’m able to provide care fairly easily in between my calls for work. I am usually at home and am dedicated to providing company and the best care needed for your pet individually. I also respect my clients pets and I do not board other clients animals at the same time. I do one family in my home at a time because you never know how a pet could interact with another person’s pet in a negative way. Regardless of what your needs are, please don’t hesitate to ask me! We can work together to create a plan that’s easy for both you and your pet. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so that I can provide care that feels just like home. Their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.

“Ben and Nikki took great care of my pups. Very friendly and responsive. My pups had a great time and so enjoyed their lazy days and playing with the kids. Highly recommend this family to take care of your pups.”

“Charlie had a very goo day with Kayla and her crew.”

Martha W.

“Mary Grace is an exceptional pet sitter! She agreed to care for my 2 dogs at the last minute and was flexible with my work schedule. She wasn’t put off by my long work day of 12 hour shifts. She kept me informed throughout the day with pics and texts on how well my puppy kids were doing. Though my one dog has some behavioral special needs, Mary Grace was confident in her skills to care for my dog both professionally and lovingly. I highly recommend Mary Grace!”

Sheryl P.

“Octavia always takes such great care of Atlas that he cries when he has to leave her place! Drop off/pick up are always smooth and there’s never a delay in communication when it comes to questions, updates, and pictures!”

About: Your baby will have my sole attention as I only board one dog at a time, unless other pets are from the same family. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, puppies and older. I have given senior care to all of my wonderful dogs in my past. Currently, I have no pets. I have worked with House Sitters America for years. I spent two weeks in Albuquerque, NM, taking care of two big dogs in the pet owners’ home. The owners left on vacation and hired me to take care of their pets and home while they were gone. I have also spent two weeks twice in Cheyenne, WY, taking care of two small dogs while the parents were away. They hired me in the winter, then again in the summer. I have hired Rover sitters for many years, all over the United States - from Washington State to Maine, to Texas, and to Georgia, as I traveled, and I know what I appreciated from each sitter and will give you the same care and services. I am retired so have plenty of time to take care of your beautiful pets. I love dogs and they will feel right at home with me. I have a spacious, fenced-in yard where they can run freely - always under my supervision. I also have a small fenced, grassy, doggy area with a doggy door on the side of my house. I will spend most of my time with your pet. They entertain me as much as I entertain them.

“Omgoodness….I so wish I had found you sooner. You were amazing and so sweet to my baby! He had an amazing time. Thank you for taking such good care of him and for all the updates with pictures and videos. It always takes a load off when we know we can go to work and someone takes care of their dog the same as they would their own!!”

Kristi G.

“Shannon took great care of our two fur babies and she was very accomadating with our crazy schedule. The place is very clean. I highly recommend her. Jack and Betty Runge”

Elizabeth R.

“We did a meet and greet prior to first day and I appreciated that so much. My dog was interested in Rebekah which is a great sign! He enjoyed his first day today playing care free! He came home ready to nap!”

Cierra P.

“Becka was great with our babies. She did exactly what we would do as their parents. She made sure our fur babies were well cared for and loved. She made sure to listen to small details and did exactly what we asked her to do food wise. They were exercised and taken out on a regular basis. She and her family we’re great with our babies. Also because we were nervous and we have never done this before she made sure to send her updates and pics and videos all day. I will definitely be booking her again and would recommend anyone to pick her as your doggy sitter.”

Torie Y.

“Heather is a wonderful person. She and her whole family were so kind and caring to my Sammy. He was treated like royalty. I recommend her VERY HIGHLY!!”

About: Please take a moment to read this before you send a doggy daycare request: **Doggy Daycare/Pack walks** Any pups that are dog friendly and trained on and off leash can attend. Your pup joins other well mannered pups on a weekly walk/adventure. We explore new places, practice proper socialization skills, and practice real world training experiences, This is offered Monday-Friday and a minimum of three days per week is required. Drop off/pick up services included! - Growing up I always had a cat or dog around. I have also taken care of countless of dogs and cats along the way- whether they were a stray I picked up, a family’s, friend’s, or neighbor’s. I’ve always had a passion for animals more specifically dogs. For three years I worked at a dog training/boarding facility as a kennel technician and a trainer. I was taught how to efficiently care for 25+ dogs at a time in a kennel environment. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside at specific times, feeding, administering medication, prioritizing safety, keeping kennels, and the dogs clean. Within the first couple of months working as a kennel technician I quickly developed a love for dog training and soon was promoted and worked as a trainer at the facility. I learned multiple ways to teach dogs different skills, work through behavioral issues, and how to better help owners understand and communicate with their dogs. From there I went on to work at a local dog park/bar for just about three years as well. I closely monitored the dogs in the park to make sure they were playing in a fair and safe manner. I had to be able to read the dogs in the park and deescalate possible tension between dogs to prevent any scuffles or accidents. After the dog park closed I have gotten back into dog training again and have recently started a pack walking service. I’ve also been here on rover since 2022! As of right now I’m doing Rover full time! However I do run a structured pack walk with dogs I’ve trained or have received previous training in the mornings and I also train Board and trains at my house/on pack walks. My schedule is open for early morning drop ins/walks, mid day, and evenings. I can do drop ins multiple times a day but please keep in mind I do not stay overnight. I can board your pup(s) overnight at my house if they have received training previously by another trainer or if they have been trained by me. I provide loving care in the comfort of your pet’s own space! When we leave for trips or go to work it can often cause our pets to feel anxious or stressed and taking them away from the home they find most comforting can often worsen these feelings, especially in very chaotic environments like conventional boarding facilities. By keeping them in their own environment it can be more comforting than boarding them away from your home. This may also be more comforting for you too! For boarding your pup must be kennel trained for when I briefly the house and for meal times! However if your pup is boarding with me they will usually be out free roaming with my pups while I’m home and they will join me on my weekly pack walks as well! Safety and comfort are my top priority when it comes to pet sitting. Finding someone you can trust is very hard. I will try my very best to keep you as updated as possible by sending as many photos as I can as well as on every rover drop in card I will leave a description about what we did during the drop in so you aren’t left hanging! On walks I will do everything in my power to make sure your dog is safe and gets the time they need to sniff, explore, and do their business. I can drop in a few times a day if you are out of town or if you work long shifts and you’d prefer your pup to stay at home. I drop by and give potty breaks,food, water, play time, exercise, whatever your best friend may need I will try my best to provide it!
