About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time! I always keep the water bowl full and am always willing to offer your pet a bath (if you'd like.) My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the to meet y'all and let's play fetch! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.
“Amina was super flexible and squeezed my puppy in her schedule, and on very short notice! She also snapped some cute photos of them outside, he looked like he loved it. So glad i reached out to her will definitely be using her in the future :)”

We have 3 corgis of our own as well as cattle, goats, sheep, & chickens! There is so much room to run and we take pride in giving your pet the experience of a lifetime! We recently remodeled the garage next to home into a kennel facility as well. This is great for some privacy while eating & sleeping! It is also heated! We understand that pets can be nervous, so this serves as a great spot to get comfortable! We can take care of your fur babies on weeks days & weekends with short notice & everything in between! We have three extremely friendly corgis, who love to play & snuggle! We are able to accommodate any times that are needed! I stay home with our little one so my schedule is flexible to fit your needs! We do have a kennel set-up so that your furbaby can feel it has a space of its own but we also have open doors when it comes to our home! We want your pet to feel the most comfortable during their stay with us!
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, adopting my first pup at 16. Now, I’m the proud owner of two dogs—a playful 8-year-old Yellow Lab and a sweet 3-year-old German Shepherd rescue. Animals are my passion, and my dogs are truly my fur babies. I’d love to treat yours with the same love and care! I'm currently working part-time and pursuing online schooling to become a nurse practitioner. Between my love for the outdoors and my passion for pets, I thought this would be the perfect way to take a study break. I’m usually available afternoons, nights, and weekends—though I’m a night owl, I’d happily rise early for some fun pet playtime! I have a fenced-in backyard where my dogs and I love to play fetch, and we’re also big fans of daily walks and tug-of-war. I’m up for any game your pet enjoys—and I’ll even let them win every now and then for extra fun! If your pet prefers a more laid-back vibe, I’m more than happy to join them as a fellow couch potato for some quality relaxation time!
“Baylee is AMAZING! She was able to meet with me right away, and fit Winston in next day. She worked around my schedule and made me feel super comfortable. Listened to all my worries and made me feel so much better having a sitter. Winston absolutely loved her :) I wil definitely be re booking with her for any of my needs.”

About: My family raised dogs growing up. I later adopted many discarded rescues until they passed away. I know how to bathe, feed, treat, talk and walk any breed. I'm also available to stay over nights with your pets. I'm a real estate paralegal and work from home. It's never a problem to take an extended break or lunch to provide your pet with first class care. I can walk your pets, stay over night with them, water & feed, bathe them, brush their teeth and clean their ears. You just let me know how you want them to be cared for! I've recently watched a pit bull, German Shepard, and Bullmastiff along with two cats on separate occasions.
“Tee-Tee was amazing with Aspen and Ziggy. Ziggy is a large rescue with big feelings sometimes. I know others have had unfortunate experiences with sitters or walkers, but Tee-Tee is exceptional and will be brought back whenever our schedules align.”
About: My name is Brittany, I have recently transitioned to working from home. I have a very flexible schedule, which means that I have open availability for walks or drop-ins and will be able to be with your dogs the entire time they are in my care! While I have just started out on Rover, I am still an experienced animal caretaker. Previously I have worked with horses, dog sat in college as well as for family and friends. I treat all animals just like they are apart of my family, this means they sleep in the bed, are allowed on furniture, and are given plenty of love and affection. My dogs and I also love to go on outings to the park, hikes, biking, find water to play in, as well as walks around the neighborhood. I have experience with dogs of almost any size and would be happy to welcome your dog to my family while you are away. I work from home, so I have open availability. This means I can do walks or drop-ins whenever needed. If your dog is in my care while being boarded, at doggy daycare, or house-sitting, I will be with them the entire time! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a long line to allow your dog freedom to play in the yard. In my home we have rest breaks around meal times, and dogs will be separated for meals and to have personal time to themselves. I do have kennels if your dog prefers to sleep in a kennel while in my care. But my two German Shepherds love other dogs and would be happy to invite other dogs into our home. In a client's home I will go off what their schedule is so they have their normal day. I will treat your home just as my own and will leave it in just as good if not better condition than what I found it.

“Danielle is an amazing caregiver for my dog! I trust her with him as much as I trust myself with him. She loves on him like she’s her own. He gets daily walks, visits to work, dog park trips, and all the love he could ever wish for. He even gets to cuddle up in bed. I’m so grateful to have such a trusted dog sitter.
