“Madelyn took fantastic care of our pup! He has a lot of energy but somehow came home nice and tired. Appreciated her laid back easy going nature! Would definitely recommend!”
“Kristina was friendly, was willing to feed raw feed, and got our pup some exercise. She was also understanding about a late change in pickup time, which was nice. Our dog seemed happy and healthy when I picked her up.”
“Boarding my two pups with Rebecca and her son was great! Dropoff and pickup were straightforward, she sent me pics and updates throughout the week, and even gave the doggos a bath! I could not have asked for better care.”
“Amanda is awesome! She sent us daily pics of our furry babies just to show us that they were fine and having fun which gave us a sense of security. Amanda has the perfect setup in her home to allow the pups to have their own space and keep them safe. This is our second time leaving our pups with Amanda and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Cadey & Jacob were incredible! They were the kindest people and took such great care of our dogs! They took them on all kinds of long walks and loved on them. Plus they sent plenty of pictures throughout their stay, which was fun to see and reassured me our dogs were in excellent care! Couldn’t recommend them more! Thanks for taking such great care of our boys!”
About: I love being with dogs when I’m hanging out at home or in the woods and that's why I'm on Rover--I just love having dogs in my life! I'm a very active person and love being outside. I have a home with two roommates who also love dogs. We have a large un-fenced yard with a small play pen in the yard appropriate for small dogs. We live in a nice, dog-friendly neighborhood close to a park, a creek for those water lovers, and hiking trails (and, coming soon, a WagBar!). I’ve had a dog at every point in my life and have been recently raising a puppy with my parents but I have no other dogs in the home at the time. I have several dog beds around the house, toys, leashes, etc. as well as a large kennel. I'm also willing to offer extra services like bathing and brushing. I’m happy to do house visits for cats too, but my housemate is allergic so, unfortunately, I can’t do any cat sitting. I am happy to take the dogs on as long or short of walks as desired, or even on hikes and runs! Lastly, I am currently working full time from home and am excited to spend ALL DAY with your pups! I can't wait to meet and get to know y’all’s pups! :)
“Tania was wonderful! She took our pup on walks and brought her along on outings with the family. She was quick to respond to my messages and answered all of my question. Drop off and pick up were easy. My nervous puppy happily followed her into the house as soon as she met Tania. Highly recommend! We will definitely book with her again next time we need someone to watch our pup.”
About: I have experience with small to giant breed dogs. From kitten to senior cats. Additionally I have experience with administering medication via shot(for cats and dogs), pill, mousse, cream, and I have wound care experience. I have had several years of pet car from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. Additionally I have cared for some varieties of fish and amphibians. Animal care is my top priority. I work full time but I work 5 minutes from home allowing me to visit home every day for lunch. My work schedule is 5 days a week but with being so close to home I am able to visit the house every four hours. Additionally I have weekends off as well. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have 2 friendly dogs and a yard that I can walk your dog on a leash in. My dogs are very well trained and stay in the yard without a leash. Additionally my dogs come in the house on command, no dog will ever be unattended when under my care. My dogs get along with cats and ferrets as well. We like to joke that our orange cat trained both of our dogs.
“Our dogs love Skylar and Season. They look forward to visiting and playing with the other pups, frequent walks and play-time, not to mention the big back yard. We would definitely recommend them for taking care of your puppers.”
About: I'm an outgoing person and love to hang out with animals! I have 3 dogs of my own and really enjoy spending time with them at home or outside. I work from home, which gives me time during the day to care for and play with allll the animals! I'm available most days and have a flexible schedule :) I have toys/bones/treats, a yard, and a garage to play in, plus 3 friendly dogs who love playing! I also have a large kennel if your dog likes/needs to have one available.
About: I started pet sitting when stationed in Germany and have loved it ever since! I have my two own fur babies and know how hard it is to get a pet sitter and someone that you can trust. I hope I can be that person for you and for you to have the peace of mind you baby of in the best of hands Starting at the end of August I will only be at away at school from 10-1 and I will be back home by 2. The only long day is Wednesday. 10-4 I will have a fenced in yard in September and we go on walks about 5 times a day! We can do enrichment activities or just chill and watch a movie
About: I provide in-home dog sitting (boarding), dog walking, and doggie day care in Wasilla, AK. Whether leaving town, or just needing a spot for your pup to hang for the day, I would love to help you! I will welcome your dog into my home and provide a comfortable, fun, and safe place for them while you are away. I believe that dogs need a lot of stimulation and love to ensure they are their happiest. I get my dogs outside everyday, rain, snow, or shine, and you can rest assured your dog is having a vacation while you are away. I am dedicated to providing the safe and fun home for your pet. Your fur baby will never be kenneled (unless requested) or left alone for long periods of time. I work from home so they will get attention all day long, and will have tons of fun being being a part of my dog crew. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work from home. Potty breaks can be given as often as needed and walks or dog park time once per day for exercise and fun time. I have two friendly dogs in my home. The one year old lab husky likes to have walks or do dog park time every day and would enjoy a buddy to share that time. My chihuahua is older and sleeps all day and minds her business. 😴
“I recommend this nice lady! She was very sweet and was able to watch my dogs for an extended time while I was away for a surgery ! She has dogs of her own that they were able to play with and get some social time in!”
“I felt super comfortable leaving my dog with Lucy for a week. She kept me updated with photos and videos and I could see that my dog was spending plenty of time socializing outside. I highly recommend Lucy!”
“Ashley and her family were great to Gracie as always and they really stepped up to the plate for this stay when Alaska Airlines canceled our flight home and we had to extend her stay by an extra two days! Thank you Ashley for everything you do!”
About: I’ve been the primary care taker for animals for over 20 years. I’ve logged over 200 hours of dog training from obedience, agility, nosework, and trieball. Very active and ready to accommodate your dogs activity needs from playing in the backyard, walks and hikes, and running. I work a full-time hybrid position, and am rarely gone for more than 6 hours during office days. My schedule is flexible to help accommodate your pet’s needs. I have a large fenced yard, two friendly dogs and two cats to keep your furry friend company. I can accommodate crating (I have a large crate available for use) and have a spare room that can be dedicated to your pet. Must be dog and cat friendly.
“I am absolutely thrilled with the care Joy provided for my Zeus while I was away. From the moment we met, it was clear that she is a true animal lover, and my dog immediately warmed up to her and the other animals living in her home. The accommodations were exactly what he needed (large yard, adequate space to live), the communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that put me at ease. Zeus was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-cared for when I returned. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. As long as she is available, there’s no other sitter that can beat this level of care! Thanks Joy!”
