“Kenai made lots of new friends and had a great first daycare experience. I was sent pictures throughout the day for peace of mind which I appreciated. Thanks!”


“We were so happy with Capone’s visit. We had tons of photos of a very happy pup. Amanda was amazing and made this experience so easy on us. Capone is one happy pup sporting his new bandanna too. Thank you!”


“I absolutely love Trey. She was super kind and loved my dog as if she were her own. It was our first time doing doggy sitting and Trey was very transparent about my dog getting a cut on her face. I didn't mind, since dogs are like that, but the fact that she was up front and honest meant a lot to me. I will be using her services continually in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone else who wants their babies to be treated with love and care.”


“Mandy took amazing care of my dog Ophelia. I didn't even have to worry. At the end of the day, Ophi was happy and sleepy. Mandy was very responsive and sent awesome photos of Ophi. I WILL be rebooking with her, and I'm so grateful to have found her!”


“Very happy with Crystal! My dogs were well taken care of & I had piece of mind knowing they were in good hands. Very kind & patient helping me navigate your Rover app too! 😊👍”

About: i had 3 dogs in my life. 2 of the dogs i had. i had since i was born. then i adopted another dog in 2014. wanting to adopted more dogs in the future. i have dogsit before in the past 3 years before i knew about rover. i love and adore dogs. i cant imagine life without one. Dogs are everything to me. Having dogs around get me outside more and walking more. i have trained my 3 dogs. so i know a tiny bit about trainging them. i currently dont have a job. i would make dog sitting a part time job for right now. i have alot of time to care for a dog. i give the pet alot of play time. i give the pet bathroom breaks as much as needed. i walk the pet like an hour or 2. ill feed the pet when he or she needes it. of course ill him or her water. ill give the pet as much exercise as he or she needs. i would have the pet come over to my apartment. im around a place where i can take the dog on a long or short walk. the apartment im at is very pet friendly. I say you would have to bring your pet to me at my apartment.

“Sophie seems to love hanging out with Tessa and her pooches and always comes home tired. It’s such a peace of mind to have a safe and fun family that Sophie spend time with.”


About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have 3 pups of my own and a variety of exotic animals. I have worked as a dog trainer and volunteer at the vet and rescues. I am very active so long walks are my favorite and I have a soft spot for old animals. I communicate very well. The standards I have for the care of my pets is exceptionally high and I provide that same experience for every pet I take care. I currently work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available to do check ins or walks multiple times a day, if needed, and also have weekend availability. I am a big fan of communication(and photos!) but am trustworthy and reliable enough that you can also be out of service and rely on me to take care of things.

“Miss Caroline is so sweet and kind, the amount of care she took in getting to know my Zelda so that I would feel comfortable with sending Zelda with her was so nice and comforting. My girl adores her, and even after a few days now gets excited when she hears her name or sees that we are approaching her car for drop off.”


About: Big house and a soft spot for small dogs! Happy to host little ones while you’re in town. We have a quiet path in the woods for dogs who may be overwhelmed by the bike path, or for those who are excited to get out and about we can walk or run miles of the bike path. I work from home full time with a generously flexible schedule, so lots of walks, playtime, and couch hangs are at the ready. We wake up fairly early and go to sleep early as well. We have a large private yard and back woods that are quiet and set away from the road, traffic, or other neighbors. I always keep animals leashed. We seal off the garage and gear room so little ones don’t get into anything they shouldn’t! We have property cameras and are just a generally safe and quiet home.

About: I grew up in a zoo of a home with a mom that made our pets her top priority. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and know the ins and outs of how to keep an animal happy and healthy/safe. I own a small business in town and work around my pups schedule. We go on morning walks, lunch time hikes and even post work walks if needed. I am also capable to giving medication. I own a small business and make my own hours. I typically work Monday-Thursday and my dogs are only left for 3-4 hours at a time. Pets are always welcome to sleep in the bed with me or kenneled depending on what you prefer. I live walking distance from the Klatt dog park if you’re comfortable with me taking your pup there or we can do one on one walks around the neighborhood. Hikes are also offered in the summer time! Dogs are my life and always have been. Their well being, happiness and safety is my top priority! My back yard is fully secure, I drive a 2019 4 runner for safe transport and my home is always free of rope/unsafe toys, poisons, etc. I have personally trained my dogs for duck hunting and obedience and can offer Training assistance if needed(: Dogs are always safely exercised and I believe in positive reinforcement.

About: I’ve been an animal lover all of my life but specifically dogs. I feel they are true angels and as much as I’d love to own 10 of them, I can’t so this is the next best thing! I’m currently a stay-at-home mother of two children and we have our puppy, Nala. I have all the free time to take care of pets and make sure they’re constantly comfortable, loved, and checked on. I do have one extra large dog kennel. If you want to bring your own kennel, that is also totally fine! I have extra dog bowls as well, but again if you want to bring your own, totally fine! I have a safe, fenced in yard. I like to do outside time as much as possible so the dogs can get their energy out and if you have a food schedule, I can follow it!

“I have a intact wolfhound puppy. With all the trouble that entails, Becky handled it beautifully. The request was at the last minute with early I. The morning drop offs on a weekend, she gave him walks, sent me pictures, and he always came home happy and worn out. I would highly recommend Becky to my friends and family”



“Jessica has a secure fully fenced yard and will treat your dog like it is her own. My dog Fannie only had a short visit, but I felt confident leaving her with Jessica.”

“Haley is very good with animals. She used to watch/take care of my Boston terrier and elderly cat while I was at work and/or on vacation. She was very loving and kind with my pets.

She will treat your animals like her own.”
