“Highly recommend, we had a very positive experience using Rover for the first time. Allyson was very prompt in accepting our last minute boarding reservation request and was very flexible. She also sent occasional pictures and updates, which were a pleasant surprise. Our dog appears to have enjoyed her stay; she came home clean, calm, happy and ready for a nap after enjoying her stay.”
“Erica and Ciara kept our old pup happy, busy, and comfortable. They clearly are very knowledgeable about dogs and were able to accommodate our pup’s needs well. They kept us updated with pics and were easy to communicate with. Will definitely use them again!”
“Our dogs have stayed with Lynne on several occasions. She is attentive to their special needs and keeps us updated on how they are doing so we can relax and enjoy our time away. Our pups seem to feel very comfortable in her care. :-)”
About: Hello! My name is Tyler. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for several years and have experience with multiple dog and pet households. I am trustworthy, honest and dependable and take pride in being neat and orderly. I have taken care of all breeds from small to large. I have been around dogs my whole life and have experience taking care of them. I look forward to walking your dog and keeping them active. I look forward to talking with you and determining if I will fit you and your pets needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am around all day and able to give your pet the time and energy they deserve! I am able to take your dog on walks to give them exercise however long or short. I can feed your fur baby and play with their favorite toy.
“Destiny was so great! Fenway is still sleeping after all the play that he got. They went above and beyond with baths, pictures, and play time! Will for sure be contacting again for future care!”
“Cali did an excellent job and was wonderful to work with! This was our first time using Rover, and she made us feel really comfortable through the whole process. While we were away, and she sent photos and updates on our puppy. She made sure he had everything he needed - daily walks and car rides. We would absolutely book with Cali again.”
About: I was a veterinary technician for over 7 years, but I’m currently switching roles to healthcare. With that said, I would love to be able to still utilize my skills and knowledge to care for people’s furry friends on the side! I am trustworthy, loving, and caring, and I would hope that if I needed somebody to walk or care for my three dogs, they would have those same qualities. ***I do work M-F so if drop offs are needed during the work week it will have to be after 4:30 or 5:30 depending on the week*** I will be working M-F, but my hours would allow me to do later afternoon dog walks/drop-ins, and I would also be available on weekends to do dog walking or in-home pet care at my house. I have two dogs of my own who love a good long walk and love being around other dogs as well. *I can do weeknight stays if needed as long as you are okay with me being at work during the day. Hours are 8:30-5 and 7:30-4 with a day off every other week* I have a large backyard that is not fenced, but my two dogs go out there hooked up to their long tie-out. I have a camera in back to monitor them but can be on my deck watching them as well. They are very friendly and love to be around other dogs. I have the ability to crate dogs if I do in-home stays and have a spacious basement where my pups love to play with their other dog friends!
“We left our border collie Maddie to stay with Erica during a 5 day trip. Erica was super nice and sent us daily updates with photos and videos, and we could tell Maddie had a ton of fun during her stay.”
“Kailey is amazing! She gave me updates of how Moose was doing and sent pictures of him. Her dog, Veela, is a sweetheart, and Moose took to her instantly. All in all, it was a great experience for the Mooster. ❤️ Thank you again.”
“Ashley was great. She gave us a few quick updates while we away. She seemed to enjoy having Ruby scratching and petting her upon drop off and pick up. We will keep Ashley in mind for other visits.”
About: I’ve always had animals when I was at home with parents, once I moved out I got two of my own. I always enjoy seeing their growth and achievements and my dogs would love to have a friend come play for a little bit. I am currently working full-time at an autism center. I enjoy going home after work to play with my two dogs and making sure we go out on adventures and do different types of play and fun every day. I prioritize pet care in knowing that all dogs need love and I always make time for what they need. I have two friendly dogs of my own that are also great in their crates, but also can be left out during the day. Always make sure my animals have water and that they are fed. Prioritizing, they are happy and showing signs they are happy!
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals from dogs and cats to even farm animals since before I can even remember! Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals while on vacation, or even just when they have a long day at work! I’m a local pre school and work everyday with Tuesdays and my weekends off! Depending on location I am able to stop back over on my breaks! I love being outside and spending time with animals such as going for walks or even just sitting outside enjoying the sunshine! I have no problem following any special requests that may be needed for you and your pets!
“8 paws way up!! My 2 dogs would highly recommend Chris and his crew for wearing them out and play, play, playing! Large fenced in yard and other dogs to socialize with - June and Carter will be visiting again!”
About: I have grown up in a family that has always had 2+ dogs! Dogs are really my best mates that i can cry to feel for. I will make sure dogs behave and dont misbehave. I have gone through two dog training classes with my pups that I believe my skills will help other dogs as well I currently work full time but when I get home, the first thing on my to-do list is to take care of my fur babies. Spending time with them after work from walks to snuggles is my favorite part of the day! i have leashes that will be available to assure that I am able to have your pets in my site at all times! I will make sure that nothing happens to an animal that is not mine!
About: I have alot of senior dog experience as a previous parent of a great senior retriever and I currently have a cuddly 4 year old Golden retriever named Ruby :) Day and overnight bookings work well with my schedule! I have a comfy setup for boarding and a large fenced in backyard with lots of nature :) Ideally my services will be catered around daily and nightly boarding services located primarily at my residence and yard but I'm willing to expand services as I get more experience on this platform 😀
“Jacque has watched our dog twice now and he's come home happy and as good as ever. She's also been very flexible with drop off and pick up times which makes things much easier. She sends pics and is great with communication! Will definitely keep coming back!”
