“Karissa was absolutely amazing made the drop off and pick up very easy. This was Rivers first time with someone else that he didn’t know. She took amazing care of him. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Rene and Gary”

“Jennifer took great care of Barry and sent me updates through the day. She even took the time to give my pup's paws a little extra post-snow care. Barry seemed like he had a great time and I enjoyed my calm, cuddly puppy after a big day of play!”

“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”

“Jennifer was so amazing! She took the best care of our 8 month old pup. He had so much fun with her and Archie! She’s the sweetest and was very helpful as we are new to town!”

“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”

“Mozzy had a great time playing with other dogs during her stay, Rachell had a wonderful yard to play in and was very on top of maintaining safety and watch over our girl. We got lots of pictures and our Mozzy had a ton of fun and came home exhausted and happy!”

About: Hi! I’m Jamie. I’ve been working with dogs for over 13 years & have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities & needs. My passion is caring for medically fragile dogs, including those who are blind, deaf, or recovering from surgery. I’ve fostered over 25 different breeds of dogs (& over 50 dogs total) through CARE, APA, Even Chance Pit Bull Rescue & Unchained Melodies since I started fostering in college. I am very active in the rescue world and previously have served on a board for a nonprofit animal rescue, so very experienced with rescue dogs. Dogs I have worked with come from many different & difficult situations including hoarding cases, neglect, abuse & organized fighting. I also have experience with other animals including cats & bunnies. I currently have a foster bunny as well as a foster dog! I am a teacher, so during the school year I am away Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 3:45. During the summer (June through August), I am home all day on Tuesdays & Thursdays and home most of the day on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays. Dogs fit perfectly into my summer routine & get plenty of time to run around my fenced-in yard or relax inside if they are at my house for daycare or boarding. If I am swinging by for a drop in or walk, dogs also fit perfectly into my daily routine and are treated as if they were my own. For safety, I do require that dogs who stay at my house be crate trained. I crate dogs when I am not home to provide a calm, secure environment. I also have a camera on them for the short amount of time I am away so I know that they are always safe. When I am not working, I am home & fully focused on the dogs in my care. While staying with me, dogs have full access to my fenced yard & my home, but they are never left unattended. Please note that I am happy to schedule a meet & greet, but during this time I do not allow dogs from other homes to meet each other. Any current dogs in my home will remain crated. This allows your dog to settle in safely before exploring a new environment & helps prevent any unnecessary stress. Pets are treated like family whether they are staying in my home or I am visiting them at yours. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable & well cared for at all times. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress. This includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication if needed & plenty of playtime. I enjoy sending photo & video updates so you can stay connected to your pet while you are away. For boarding in my home, I send one update every 24 to 48 hours. If you prefer more frequent updates, just let me know during the meet & greet. For drop-ins & walks, I send an update after each visit with pictures & a quick summary of how your pet is doing. I always make sure they get fresh water, bathroom breaks & attention based on their needs.

About: As a professional dog trainer, I pride myself on being able to safely offer dogs opportunities they wouldn't get elsewhere. I am typically home all day everyday, but, when dogs are alone in the home they are kept safely crated in a monitored room. I can safely house reactive and aggressive dogs in the home and have experience handling such. For owners who are comfortable I also take dogs with me on local hiking trails often! Reach out and let’s talk dogs! Dogs and their care is my full time job! I am always doing something with or for a dog. Wether that’s training sessions, walks, hikes, or some form of enrichment, we are kept busy around here! Our home has a lovely backyard with a six-foot privacy fence, a splash pool for hot days, and lots of shade! I have a complete dog room set up in our sunroom. Dogs are allowed to be in our living spaces with us, but I do have my office and bedroom blocked off for my own doggies to take a break if needed.

“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”

“Absolutely love the care my puppy got with Alicia! I wasn't nervous to leave her there at all, she made sure both me and my dog were welcome. If I could give her ten stars I would!”

About: Your pet will be loved and cared for as my own during their stay with me. I have 20 plus years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, as well as cats, birds, small animals. I'm canine and feline CPR certified and trained in natural animal care. About this sitter: I'm a life long animal lover certified in pet CPR and currently studying certification in natural animal health care. I've worked in a veterinary hospital in boarding and dog day care, as well as doggy daycare for 7 plus years, with 15 years experience pet sitting. I have two dogs of my own. Delia, a Bichon Frise, and Chewy, a Lhatese. They're both well socialized, as they grew up going to work with me at the dog daycare where I worked previously. I would love to care for your furry family members! Please note: I do require a meet and greet prior to boarding to make sure everyone is comfy and a good fit. I am self-employed and work full-time from home, so my schedule revolves around my dogs and our guest's needs. Our guests are never left unsupervised or alone. We have ample space for romping and relaxing indoors and a large fenced yard for supervised play outdoors. Our guests have free reign of my home. My home is their home when they are with me. If they prefer or need a separate space, I'm happy to accommodate. If your pup is crate trained, please let me know your preference, but we are flexible on crating requirements. I want them to be as comfortable as possible while with me. I have a large fenced yard to run, play, and explore in.

“Adam took amazing care of Murphy. So many photos, so much love…would highly recommend!!”

About: Hello friends! I'm so happy to express my experience with you. I have had dogs and taken care of dogs my whole life. Helping my friends out is what gave me this idea. We have 4 dogs of our own, 1 cat and chickens. I'm not shy to say how much we love animals. Why choose me though? Well, it's simple. I'm doing this service because I know how important it is to HAVE to work in this economy. I know how important it is to take a vacation from all the craziness. We will be taking a vacation as well. Guess who will be watching my pets? But what about YOUR animals? I've had experience in a kennel environment and I know your animals are less stressed, less risk of disease like kennel cough, and happier being taken care of in the comfort of there own home. That's where I come in. I want to make sure your babies are safe, stress free and happy until you arrive home. Don't let your lifestyle be the reason why you couldn't have a pet or worry about them in the kennel the whole time. Having a person who loves animals like I do is the difference. It's not just a service, it's peace of mind. I currently own my own cleaning business. I love being with my children and homeschooling them. We have been going strong for a year and a half now. I love being my own boss and making my own schedule. I am picking this job up to help others and these pets. With the economy I'm seeing more and more moms having to go back to work. What about your pets? I love animals, so this is a perfect fit for me to embark on. I'm also showing my kids that a simple service makes the biggest changes in someone life. I would treat your pet the same way I do mine. With calm energy, love and happiness. These pets deserve the best. I want to make your life easier knowing your pets are being handled with care and respect.

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 love all dogs. I have had dogs since I was little and enjoy everything about them. My dog of 18 years passed away right before my son was born so we currently dont have any pets but we are anxiously awaiting our sons 2nd birthday to get the newest puppy addition to our family. We go on frequent outdoor walks in the parks and do lots of hiking. I can accomodate dogs with special care instructions and medical needs as well. Since I am a stay at home mom to my 18 month old son who adores dogs as much as I do, there will never be a dull moment for your dog. We offer loads of love, affection, playtime, treats if allowed, and of course fun.

About: Your pet will actually go outside with walks at the park or play time in the backyard instead of being with a sitter that's keeping them inside sleeping all day. I do independent work such as Uber or sell plasma + when requested so I have full-time availability. I can always do my other work when pets don't need someone to watch. Backyard is not fenced but large and a park is nearby. As long as the dogs are not heavy (that's why I don't dogsit "giant" dogs) then they will still get outside time. If the pets only need to be inside, the house is clean and with cameras for safety.
