Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.

Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.

Best experience ever! I would recommend Jessica over and over to any and all! As a military family it is hard to find someone to trust with your furry family members but our pup had the best life with cuddles and treats the whole time. He was cared for like he was one of her own.

My dog never goes to someone's home and leaves my side. When we got to Ryn's home she started right away moving around the home and we went to the back yard and she went all over the yard looking around. I was shocked as she could easy to see felt right at home. She stayed over night a looked very happy and I could tell she had a good time. We will definitely use Ryn's services again. We feel blessed to have found her.

My dog had the best time, and she was loved so well! So grateful for how at peace I was with her being away from me. If you want your dog to receive special love and attention this is the place to get it! Will be my first choice anytime I’m going to be gone. Thank you!

First time using Rover and can’t express enough what a wonderful experience it was. Ashley and Wesley treated my fur babies as if they were their own. I received multiple pictures of Charlie and Hunter running with other pups, playing tug, playing fetch, all around having good ole time just being pups. Ashley and Wesley went above working with me to pick my pups up. They truly love dogs. I highly recommend them. Best way to describe it, Summer Camp for Pups!!! Thank Ashley and Wesley for a wonder week not only for my pups but for myself having peace of mind knowing they were truly being spoiled and having adventure of their own! I will be a repeat customer.

About: My house is full of love and my dogs will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs and cats. When I turned 17 I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 6 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.

About: Hi! I'm Dannie, I've been a certified dog groomer for over 7 years. I've been fortunate enough to personally love and care for special needs pets and also senior dogs. As a groomer I am always continuing my canine education, especially related to safe dog handling. My goal in life is to meet all the pups! Being in a salon management position I do have a good amount of flexibility with my schedule. I will be available for drop-in visits and walks in the evenings and select day visits. I’m also available for overnight pet sitting during the week and on every other weekend. In home I have a very social mini poodle mix, 5 years old, she is very adaptable to having other dogs around and respecting their schedules. In clients home I try to keep with their pets schedule as much as possible while providing care and attention.

About: I started my care for animals 22 years ago in a non profit animal shelter. Since then I’ve been able to gain my experience through many different roles within the field of non profit shelter work and finally working up to a vet tech. I’ve been able to use the skills of vet tech in shelter as well as a private practice for the past 10 years. I’ve handled everything from neonates who need round the clock assistance to senior pets who need special medications/care or even I pets that are diabetic and need insulin. I’m an avid animal lover and protecter. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule so fitting in pet care is usually no issue. Whether dropping off pets in the morning or in the evening for boarding, drop ins, walks, dog/cat sitting, I will make sure scheduling is accommodating so that every pet I care for gets the proper love, care, and attention they need. 😁❤️ I care for pets the same as if they are my own. They will be let out to potty every 2-4 hours. I have dogs and cats in my household so they would need to be friendly with other pets but I’m alway good with sitting at your home as well. I will treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I can accommodate a pet that needs to be crated as well.

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover since I was very young. Always took the initiative to care for them and have continued into my adults years. Looking to do this on rover to fulfill an opportunity to love on your pets without having to add them permanently to my home (it’s a problem- I would have a farm). Looking to do this to establish relationships with other pet families. I work from home. I am home almost all day everyday. I could be to your home at whatever time and needs you want. Happy to assist! I would love them as my own! They will never have a dry water bowl, they will get all the lovins they need and I look forward to walks and other adventures.

About: I always take care of my sisters dogs as well as friends dogs and I love it, it’s so much fun! I’m really good with animals. I have a cat of my own so I take care of her everyday but I go to school but have online classes so I have plenty of time to watch your pet. Dogs like more attention than cats so with my cat I give her space but with dogs give them more attention! I always am tentative to what varies to each animal

About: I’ve taken care of pets here and there for many years. My family has always had a cat or 2. I love dog walking and checking in on animals! I work M-F 8-4:30, 8-12 on wednesdays. I’m off on weekends. I do not have any children, so I’m available pretty much whenever outside of work! I have a yard that is not fenced in (yet). My neighbors are very friendly and also have pets. Pets allowed inside the house also.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child and enjoyed every minute of them. I provide a caring atmosphere to keep them calm and make them feel at home. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. Would love to watch your pup short notice or scheduled notice. They can stay a short time or for the weekend I have a six acre yard with a sweet dog who will keep your pet company and active. Lots of places to walk or chill
