“Raenell was great! I really predicated regular updates during the stay and excellent communication leading up to the stay. My dog returned happy like he was on vacation 🙂. I would recommend Raenell to anyone.”


“Excellent dog sitters!! Oki was very well taken care of. We appreciated all of the walks, exercise, and daily updates! We would highly recommend using Laura and Bill!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. Whether it's energetic puppies or mellow seniors, I know how to tune in to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you're away. We live on over 6 acres of land with a full acre securely fenced in, so your dog will have plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get more than just walks and meals—they’ll get affection, playtime, and a calm, dependable environment. I treat every pet like family and I’m happy to follow your specific routines, preferences, and training methods to keep things consistent for your pup. Whether it’s daily updates, photo check-ins, or managing special needs, I’ve got you covered. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to care for pets seven days a week. Your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and I’m always nearby for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I have a three year old Chessie who loves new friends. I adjust each stay to fit your dog’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines, including medications or crate training.

“McKenzie is the best sitter! She knows dog’s personalities and is super communicative. We love when Frank is well taken care of so that we have peace of mind when we’re out of town! Thank you!!”


“Charlie was honestly amazing with my shy, fearful, dog reactive Shepard mix. Leo is not one to warm up to other dogs or people and wow did Charlie work wonders with him!! I’ll be back any time I need dog sitting in the area! Great communication, kind human and so wonderful with Leo. Thanks Charlie!!”


About: I have always had a dog in my life, and currently own 2 high energy GSP’s. I live on 12 acres off a quiet road which is a haven for dogs of all kinds. I work from home so am able to give lots of attention throughout the day and love to cuddle at night. My dogs are extremely friendly and will likely want to cuddle your dog at night too after a full day of running around on the property. I provide attention to detailed needs (like checking for ticks or caring for a sprained ankle) without hesitation. So you can travel with ease knowing your pup will return happy and healthy! I work from home so can give your pup lots of attention throughout the day. The weekends I enjoy being outside, whether that’s working out on our land, or taking the dogs on a hike or down to the river. I’m open to embarking on your pups favorite activities to make them feel comfortable. Through my experience I’ve learned that an active and occupied dog is a happy dog when their owners are away, which is something I strive for with every dog including my own. I live on 12 acres that is unfenced but on a quiet road with few neighbors. At night one of my dogs is crated (since he’s still a puppy) the other is uncrated. They are lovers of every dog and human they meet. I am sure I can accommodate most any of your dogs needs while staying. Except for sleeping in the bed with me - sorry I can’t do that :)


“Our dogs loved staying with Skye! They got to go on many walks, explore outside, and even sleep on the couch. Skye sent texts with photos and updates throughout the time we were away, giving me peace about how they were doing. The dogs seemed comfortable at Skye’s and I felt fine leaving my babies in her care.”


“Jaleh was wonderful with my dog, made her feel right at home and kept us updated with a sunbathing picture everyday 🤗 I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for coverage for their beloved animal.”


About: I can administer medications, give your pet a bath, clean up yard poop, and be able to spend time with your pets with lots of love! I have several small dogs, I am with them and care for them daily with lots of Tender Love and care!! Time for you to take that vacation without worrying about your babies!! I am able to come to your home to care for your pets and offer time and drops ins and some quality time and walks to hang out with your fur babies!!


“Prudence is very kind and welcoming and her dog Pierre is very sweet and playful. After we left her house from the meet and greet, I felt at ease to leave our pups with her. She’s super close to a park and has a nice closed in courtyard for the dogs to relax on a nice day. Communication was easy and she responded quickly. She was also very accommodating and flexible on time. She kept us updated on how they were doing throughout their stay and sent us pictures of daily walks and time relaxing or playing with toys. We couldn't have asked for better care for our two lab mixes. We will definitely be using Prudence in the future and highly recommend her!”


About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and I am willing do to whatever it takes to make them happy, comfortable, and cared for. I work full time as a residential cleaner, starting at 9 am and end times vary depending on how many houses I need to clean. I dont have any dogs. Not since I moved out. I watch a beautiful hound when his parents need time away. My parents have two beautiful well taken care of Rottweilers. I have five cats. I feed them good quality food and occasionally do raw food diet when I can afford it. I play with them when I can and they are inside cats.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, worked for rescues, and fostered. I also worked with horse rescues, ranches, and own horses. I love animals, and truly enjoy pet sitting for your pups! I work from home so I am here every day, to give everyone attention / let them out for potty breaks, and play. Your dog will never be without supervision for more than a few hours here. I offer supervised play, walks on leash, and have 2 dogs here who love to play with others. My home is on 20 acres, and we really enjoy getting outside daily.

“Katlyn exceeded all our expectations! I am so grateful we found her on Rover. Leaving on a trip is stressful and worrying about our pets adds to it all. Our dog, Sid, had such a great time that I wasn't sure he would want to leave her house when we arrived home. Katlyn was great at communicating with us; she gave us updates and photos every day. I highly recommend her services!!”
