“We highly recommend Joni!!! She has a great setup for the dogs she cares for. We are visiting in the area and needed a sitter for the day. So glad we found Joni. She was very accommodating for our rescue dog that has separation anxiety. Cruiser even got along very well with the other visiting dog. We will definitely use Joni again when we are back in the area. By the way, she makes FANTASTIC Amish friendship bread!!!! Thank you so much Joni.”

About: Hi, I'm Martha. Welcome to a home where your dog/s will be treated like family! With over 40 years of experience with dogs, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to your pet's needs. My spacious, fenced yard is perfect for fun activities like fetch and agility, ensuring your dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime. I'm new to Rover, but I have never met a dog that didn't love me. Let me pamper your pooch in my home where they can thrive, play, and relax. Your dog’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I can’t wait to welcome them into my home! Caring for your pet fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work from home. I can provide constant companionship, ensuring your dog/s receives attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Safety is my top priority, non-aggressive breeds only. I will host up to 3 pets at a time, ensuring your dog/s receives individualized attention and care. I follow a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and potty breaks, and I will only feed your pet the foods you approve - no table scraps or human food. My spacious, fenced yard ensures your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Cozy lounging spots are scattered throughout my home for rest and relaxation after a day of fun. I do require a "Meet and Greet" prior to hosting your pet/s.

“A wonderful fenced in yard, keeps owners updated, great communication, and a playful black lab named Milo to help burn your dog’s energy. Will be using this couple as often as possible, have proven themselves flexible with scheduling even at a moments notice!”


About: I have been around animals my entire life and currently own a dachshund, golden doodle, 4 goats & 24 chickens. I work from home most of the week so I am flexible to give you pet all of the cuddles while you are away. I love giving my dogs the chance to meet new friends. I am comfortable around any size dog and have plenty of experience. Feel free to contact me and consider my services. I am currently working part time at home and part time at work. I also have the flexibility to stay home with your pet if necessary. I have 6 acres of property for your baby to explore but can keep on a leash if more comfortable roaming with me. If your baby is most comfortable in a crate or snuggling in bed either is fine with me.

“Victoria is pleasant and went above and beyond our expectations. She accommodated our last minute request and provided texts and video during the doggy daycare stay. Would highly recommend booking with her.”


“I left Archie with Marty for the day, he had a great time! I received excellent communication and felt comfortable leaving Archie. I will definately be contacting Marty for Archie again.”


About: With over 25 years of experience in caring for dogs and horses, I approach pet sitting with an understanding of animal behavior and a compassionate approach. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup or an anxious companion, I use positive reinforcement techniques to create a safe and nurturing environment. I have a friendly 4-year-old golden retriever, Lily, who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, providing a perfect playmate for your pup. I regularly care for friends and family's pets, and have watched dogs recovering from surgeries and in need of medication. Our spacious 2.5-acre property offers plenty of room for dogs to roam, explore, and enjoy playtime in a safe setting. From daily walks to playing fetch in the yard, your pets will be in loving hands. Having used Rover to book pet care for my dog, Lily, I understand that leaving your dog can be nerve-wracking. Let me provide the peace of mind you deserve while you're away, knowing your beloved dog is receiving top-notch care! Working from home allows me to spend time with your dog throughout the day and attend to them as much as needed. I walk every day and am happy to take your pup along with me if they love walks too! With 2.5 acres and a super friendly, welcoming golden retriever, Lily, I'd love to welcome your dog into our home. We want your dog(s) to cozy in and feel at home, and welcome them sleeping in our room or in their crate, however they are most comfortable.

“Pickles was instantly welcomed into Kellie's home, and it made my heart happy to see how quickly he was comfortable there. I have nothing but positive things to say, and Pickles is already looking forward to his next visit!”


“I know Fred loved it there and loved Ziggy. Taking him home he had no stress. He had a wonderful time, and wanted to go back today. I had to look at pout face today! Thank you for taking good care of him! We will be back.. Julie Richards”
