“Hope was fabulous! Took care of Dolly & Chesney perfectly. Always sent pics &/or video to keep us in the loop. Couldn’t ask for a better situation. Especially when our holiday plans changed and we needed someone fast. She was very reactive. Thank you Hope!”


“Zoe did a great job with drop in visits/walking Maple and Millie! Excellent communication, on time and the pups loved her! Highly recommend! We will definitely be using her in the near future!! Thank you!”


About: I've taken care of a wide variety of pups since I was a child. Friends and family have relied on me for the care of their beloved fur children, and I never take it lightly. I treat them all like I treat my own - with love. All dogs deserve the best care, and I do my very best to give it. I look forward to befriending you and your fur family! Caring for your beloved pets is my full time job, so take comfort in knowing that I am fully invested in them ☺️ I am available for day care, weekend care, or long term care. Your pets are loved as my own! My husband, Brandon, and I and our 2 boys (15 & 9) live on 5 acres of woods and meadow, including a fenced in paddock attached to the house. We use the property daily for walks, playing, and farm animal adventures. I have 3 dogs of my own, 2 young livestock guardians and a recently rescued lap pup who's learning the ways. I can easily crate/separate/rotate dogs if needed, otherwise everyone is encouraged to explore and be adventurous about the house and property!

“Amy is awesome! This is the second year she's watched my cats while I was on vacation, and she sent great pictures and updates and the cats were happy. I'm not even sure they missed me! :-D”


“We are so pleased with the service that Iris provided for our senior kitty, Marilyn, while we were away on vacation! Iris was a great communicator throughout and very patient and thorough with the care she provided. Iris exudes a true love and passion for animals. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Alexis Was very dependable, loving, and very committed to ensuring Gizzy was taken care of. She communicated everytime she was at the house seeing Gizzy. She made sure Gizzy was fed and offered to go above and beyond. Definitely recommend and will use this service and Alexis again.”


About: I am capable and comfortable taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments! I’ve helped leash, house, and crate train a few dogs as well! I currently work part time and would love to fill my extra time with animals, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets with almost any needs! Though I’m not able to board your pet at my house I promise to provide quality care at your home and keep them safe and happy

About: I've had at least one pet my whole life. I grew up with an older dog that gave me a safe and comforting feeling. I am well experienced with different personalities and ages. I make sure my pets have been taken care of and also played with, that they feel loved and safe as my first dog had made me feel. I wake up fairly early at 6am to 7am. I make sure my animals are let out and fed soon after. I make sure throughout the day they have been given plenty of time to exercise and play before bedtime. The first thing I would do when first meeting a new friend is to not rush into it. I'd get to know them and their routine especially cats because they don't like their routine changed. They would have all their needs met even if it was specific on time and amounts. I would give additional attention and care for your pet because they experience a lot of stress while their owner is away.

About: I have always been a pet mom. From dogs to cats. I have also done rovers with my sister as she has done it for many years. I love all animals. I work from home most of the week so most days I’m available. I can work around schedule pretty easily. Winter is my busy time all others are fine. I have a dog friendly lap that loves friends. I do not have a fenced yard and I am willing to go to your home.

About: I’ve always been very passionate towards animals. I’ve volunteered for a shelter and I used to work at a pet store with animals every single day! I am working currently part-time so depending on my schedule for the week I will be able to help you take care of your fur baby! 🐾 I am used to having escape artists so I always make sure no one runs out the door! I am also comfortable using crates or kennels! Just let me know if your fur baby likes to plan their escapes when scheduling! 😊

“Brooklynn was great! She took great care of our three pups and also went above and beyond by feeding one of our horses for us. The process was smooth and straightforward. I would 100% recommend her and use her services again.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years — my own pups, plus dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I love every part of it, from daily walks and mealtime routines to giving extra attention to senior dogs who need a little more help. Whether it’s belly rubs, medications, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m home for the summer from college and have a super flexible schedule right now. Since I’m not juggling classes or assignments, I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m available and happy to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely, keep a watchful eye during walks and playtime, and make sure your dog stays in a secure, stress-free environment. You can trust that your pup will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own.

About: I have worked at an animal clinic before so I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have also helped with some of my friends and family’s animals while they have been gone! That includes bathing, feeding, walking, and spending quality time with them! Animals is one of my biggest passions, and I hope I can be help to your family! I just recently got a job as a grooming apprentice making my way to be a groomer as well! I just started becoming a grooming apprentice as of April 2025, I am making my way to be a groomer and I work every weekday from 7:40am to around 3-4:30pm each day. I am a part time college student. I have classes on Wednesday and Thursday nights! I am available everyday of the week besides the nights I have class form 6–10. On Sunday I go to church from 10:30/12 so that’s the only time I’m busy on Sunday’s as well! I’m looking for a full time job so my hours may change here in the future! I have a fenced in yard with two playful dogs! If needed I do have crates that they can be put in! I also am not far from a dog park!

About: I have stayed in friends homes to take care of their pets while on vacations. One friend has referred me to another person. Dogs are amazing. I work an interesting schedule. But I am able and willing to take care of your dogs. I can bring my work clothes with me. I am willing to come to your home to take care of your furry loved ones. I’d rather your pets be comfortable in their environment.

About: I have had pets of every kind since I was little!

About: I’ve had 14 years of friends, family and neighbors trusting me for walking, feeding, giving baths, playing, gaining trust, building relationships with their furry family members and anything that comes with taking care of dogs 🥰 I’m currently trying to get a full time schedule on Rover. I’ve always wanted to work a job I absolutely love doing, what’s better than taking care of and playing with dogs all day? Nothing!

There will be a lot of playing and cuddles and love!

About: I have had pets since I was little, and am very knowledgeable in dog behavior. I have been in daycare settings for children, so I will treat your pups care like I do with daycare kiddos, I will be very communicative to you, and send you pictures. I have trained multiple puppies in my lifetime, and have had a couple of senior dogs. I have had Labs, one Doberman, and Pugs. I have also raised two litters of puppies. Currently, I have an English Bulldog/Sharpei mix who is 11 months and constantly learning new things about behavior, and how to manage it. I am always learning new things about dog behavior and training as it is one of my passions. I will treat your fur baby as my own. I am excited to get to know you and your fur baby. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because I am at home and I am excited to start taking care of other peoples pets. On the weekends at the moment I can fit in some later shifts, it is not listed, however I can. I will care for your pets the way you want me to take care of them. Tell me what you want me to do, and I will do it. These are your babies. I want to learn everything about them and care for them the way you care for them.

About: I have taken care of multiple pets at a time for over 10 years. I have experience in training dogs and have been approached many times and complimented on how well behaved and trained my dogs are. I take the extra time to give everyone their deserved attention on a daily basis. I do work during the week but my fiancé is a stay at home mom so our household is available for pet care / boarding 24/7 with everyone getting tons of attention! I have a large fenced in yard. I have 2 very friendly dogs for those dogs that would like company. I have a 3 bedroom home with a 2 car garage so I have plenty of room for those pets that may not want to be social at all times. I take great pride in loving and caring for my pets.
