“Brian was great! Super flexible with my odd work hours. Finn was very nervous as Brian was his first sitter, but he ended leaving with a wagging tail! Loved the photo updates as well!”

“I felt comfortable leaving my fur babies with Leah. They were a little shy and she was very patient with them and me as an overprotective dog mom. The other dogs were vey friendly, no bullies. Her inside and outside set ups are great for maximum doggie fun!”

About: I grew up with both dogs🐶 and cat🐱 so I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I have a ShihTzu named Chloe - she is 5 years old and is so sweet. She loves socializing with other dogs - she is calm yet has her playful moments as well. My close friends, family members and neighbors have trusted me to take care of their fur babies throughout the years. I recently decided to make a Rover account to help others who need a trusted individual take care of their fur baby(s). Please message me if you have any questions! 🐾 • I currently work remote from 9am-5pm. I am fully available nights and weekends. • I take Chloe out between 7:30-8:00am to use the potty/10 minute walk. Then I give her a Greenie and her breakfast. • I take Chloe out around 12/12:30 for a potty break followed by a treat and some playtime. • Around 5pm I take Chloe out for a potty break and a 15 minute walk. Sometimes I will take her to the dog park or she will socialize with other dogs on our walk around the community. Afterwards, I feed her dinner. • I take Chloe out around 9pm for another short walk/potty break. I then sometimes take her out again around 10-10:30 before we go to bed. • I have the flexibility to take care of your fur baby(s) during the day, evenings & weekends.🐾 • I live on the first floor of an apartment complex that is extremely dog friendly. They have two dog parks - (one for big and one for small dogs) which are both conveniently located across from my building! A good number of residents in my community have a dog so there is plenty of socializing. • I do not crate Chloe however, if you prefer to have your fur baby crated, please let me know and that can be arranged.
“Cayde really enjoyed doggie day care with Tammy and her family. Tammy kept us update and even sent pictures of Cayde’s visit with her! We really appreciate knowing that we left our baby in such good hands while we celebrated our grand baby’s birthday party!”

About: I love animals. I just lost my dog after 14 years so I am very experienced. Perfect home for those dogs who are unpredictable with other dogs or small children. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR DOGS THAT HAVE ANY POTENTIAL AGGRESSION TOWARDS PEOPLE. I am for the most part home and available while caring for your dog. The most I may leave them alone is one hour, only if necessary. I usually feed and take your dog out at 7am. We go for a 30 min walk around 11am. Thereafter there are multiple potty breaks in the backyard on a lead. Last potty break is around 9-10pm. They are welcome to sleep with me in my bed if they are clean.
“Achilles is a very high energy kind of dog; you have to be great to handle him! Jovani did exceptionally well with him. What made my heart smile is the way Achilles ran towards his door and also jumped for joy when I dropped him both days! Achilles is a very smart dog; if you are bad with him, he runs away from you but if you are good with him, he'll be all over you any time he sets his eyes on you! Trust me, your dog will have a great time with Jovani! I am so happy Achilles has a second home where he is loved & taken care of! I would have given a 10 star rating if there was one!!!”

“Spencer spent a trial day with Debbie. He was well taken care of. Her dog, Charlie, seems to be good for Spencer too. Appreciated the photo, update, and reassurance that the day was going well. Will be using Debbie again in the near future and feel comfortable leaving Spencer in her care.”


About: We own two large dogs- an Australian cattle dog/Anatolian shepherd/Hound mix, and a yellow Labrador retriever. They are very high energy and unique with lively personalities. We love to take them on bicycle rides/walks through the woods and neighborhood. We both have experience with dogs- John dog-sat as a child and has had family dogs as well, and I grew up on a farm with 10-15 inside/outside dogs all my life as well as many other animals. We have a big back yard that is fenced in, we also live next to a big state park that is loads of fun for any animal! Our entire family and our friends also have dogs, so when we all get together we usually have about 12-14 dogs all together at once running around playing and having fun! We would love to be able to help others who own dogs and have a busy schedule live life while knowing their beloved pet is well taken care of!
“We are so thrilled we found Jenny to take care of our baby (Max). In the past we worries about leaving him, now we go on vacation and know our pup in having an awesome vacation! Thank you Jenny and family for being Max's adopted family🥰”

“Brette was phenomenal with our dog Kida. Kida is a bit anxious but Brette and her family were able to give her a ton of love and attention and by the end of the day Kida had befriended the entire family and all their pets. Brette and her family were considerate toward what made Kida comfortable and allowed her to adjust at her own comfort. I can’t recommend Brette enough, 10/10 will book again.”

About: My two fur babies lived for 15 and 16 years. Since then, I’ve decided to love my friends and families animal's, spoil them and then give them back! They will be in great hands and receive lots of love until you return home! I work full time from home and enjoy going out for walks throughout the day. I love company of my four legged friends when doing so. I am happy to come to your house after the work day and go for a walk in your neighborhood also! Or if they just like company during the day, they can always come here! My 18 year old son also loves pets as we both miss ours very much! However, as he takes college classes and I work full-time we like the freedom that Rover has to offer while still having the opportunity to help our “neighbors” and getting our pet fix! Your animals will always be on a leash while outside and are very safe in our home.
About: I work from home with a flexible schedule and have the ability to give your pet the time, energy and love that they need while you’re away!

Puppies are also welcomed! I have the ability to visit the dog or work with you for partial day visits to make sure your pup is being trained efficiently with their potty breaks and/or crate training. I am very understanding when follow the house and family rules when playing with your pets. Also, depending on the timing, I am happy to help with feeding for nights and mornings. I am happy to meet with you and your pup today! CURRENTLY looking at flexible schedules with my current work needs.
“I needed a last minute sitter for a few hours and was coming from out of town. Bri was fantastic! She was very prompt in responding to my initial outreach (late evening the night before) and was very easy to work with. She took care of Miley and shared unprompted updates of Miley and her dog Piggy playing - which was very much appreciated! I would recommend working with Bri!”


“Amber did a fantastic job with our rambunctious 5 month old puppy, Oaklyn. She kept her overnight and all day. We received lots of pictures of our pup which really gave us a sense of comfort. We will definitely be using Amber again in the future if she’ll have us!”
