“She was wonderful. As an experienced pet lover, she immediately bonded with my doggie, Cleo. It was great as she kept me updated with photos and even videos. Cleo was engaged and had a fun time with Kristen. I would highly recommend Kristin.”

“Angela bonded immediately with our dog, Cleo & Angela provided great attention to her throughout the evening. We were very grateful.”

“Megan is absolutely amazing! This is the third time she’s stayed with our girls for multiple overnights, and I honestly can’t imagine using anyone else. She takes such incredible care of them, and it’s obvious they absolutely adore her. She communicates throughout the entire stay, sends the BEST updates and photos (seriously, they’re frame-worthy!), and gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Being able to truly relax on vacation because we know our girls are safe, loved, and spoiled is priceless. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups, and that says everything. We trust Megan completely and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family. We can’t wait to book with her again!”

“Ava was SO AMAZING. She is super responsive and really knows how to take care of dogs. She stayed in our apt for one week and took care of our two dogs. They LOVED her and were having SO much fun playing and going on walks with her. She sent us daily updates, pictures, and videos which really helped with my anxiety as a first time user of rover. We will definitely use her again and you should too!”

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.

“Konnie is amazing! She came over before we booked to meet the family and our pups! We then arranged for her to come over again before we left so that the pups could get to know her. She cared for our huskies as if they were her own. We came home to healthy, happy dogs and a clean home! Couldn't be more thankful that we found Konnie!”

About: It seems as if I've always had a cat or dog or both since I was in grade school. At this time I have many kitties and one dog. Some of my kitties are foster kitties. Some I can pet and others I enjoy from a distance. I have 1 dog named Frannie. She is possibly a Rottweiler shepherd mix. In the past I grew up with a standard poodle. I have had a shepherd mix, another Rottweiler mix and a pit mix. I have seen all my dogs and cats thru to the rainbow bridge. I have fostered a litter of labrador puppies. That was fun! I currently help my mom with her pug mix named Chloe. I am currently working part time at a pre-school. I have Mondays, weekends, holidays and the summers off. I work until noon Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays until 3pm I would need to make sure your pets are cared for before I go to work @7:15am. I have a neighbor who helps me let my dog out while I'm at work, so I would be free after work to check on your animal(s). I would then need to come back to my house and take care of my animals and then go back to check on yours. I could do that as often as needed and then longer thru the night. I anticipate every situation to be different so depending on the need. I would be able to keep kitties in my spare bedroom. I have a large screen door to put in front of the bedroom door to keep them separate from my animals if needed. I am flexible to what the needs may be

“Patience was the absolute best while watching my two dogs! She sent several updates throughout the day with videos and photos of the doggies without me even asking and I truly felt like comfortable having her in the home with them! I will definitely be using Patience again and recommend others to use her services as well!!”

About: I am Fear Free certified, CPR and First Aid certified, and I am a previous doggie daycare worker that has had at least 2 dogs in my home at all times since I was born! I have a super sweet Lab Shepard mix named Comet, and a pittie named Daisy! I have been trained on doggie social cues and behaviors using Pack pro and fear free and like to say I “speak dog”. I am happy to accommodate for your furry friend in any way you need! I’m happy to give them all the love and treats, as well as take them on walks! The most important thing in my life is dogs. I’m that friend that points out dogs in public and always talks to doggies when I can! I work part time currently, so I am happy to snag a visit with your furry friend when I can! I love to make time for pups. I can not do care in my home, but I am happy to stay with your pet! I believe strongly in approaching pets in a calm and careful fear free manner.

“Kyle took outstanding care of Archie and Rhea (and kept a watchful eye on our home) while we were on vacation. He asked thoughtful questions and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, both pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-adjusted. Archie and Rhea absolutely adore Kyle—I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for future trips.”

“This is the first time leaving my fur babies with anyone other than family. I highly recommend Darian! Not only did see stay with them the whole weekend, but she kept in contact with updates , she also sent pictures thst were absolutely adorable. Our final tell sign she was good was when we went to bed last night the babies stopped by guest room to see if Darian was still here. Which means they really liked her. When we go out of town in the future we will definitely be contacting Darian again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of all different kinds of animals from a very young age. Currently, I have 3 dogs, 3 cats and 8 ducks. I have experience potty training, handling a multi pet household, and taking care of livestock. My pets are my kids, and I’ll make sure to treat yours the same too. With love, cuddles and an extra treat or 2. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to care and last minute changes. With my own animals we’re up pretty early and thrive on our dinner time routine, which if you are a pet parent you know they cannot tell time. I’ll make sure to treat your animals with the care and respect that they deserve. I’m comfortable giving medication, making sure they get all of their zoomies out, and cleaning up messes. I would potentially be able to host a dog at my home. We have a fenced in 1 acre lot, however, we do have three dogs and three cats and ducks. It would have to be a very special case

“Martha did a great job with Milo and Kona. She was very good about communicating any issues and pictures to show us our dogs were taken care of.”

About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover and have been around cats and dogs all of my life, including with the addition of my own furry-son who I adopted while in college. I’m comfortable around all sizes, ages, or any combination of the two. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue my education, so I can accommodate early mornings, late nights, and anything in between! Thank you for checking out my profile and I hope to meet your furry family member soon! I’m currently a student pilot who sets my own schedule, so I am super flexible to be available any time of the day/week to take care of your pet! Living in my parents home means there are multiple animal-loving people to keep your pet company alongside a couple of other friendly cats! That said, I can easily keep animals separated if that is preferred. In your home, I will take deliberate care to be a calm, cheerful visitor for your pet and to leave your home as perfect as I found it!

“Absolutely Awesome! She followed directions and my dogs absolutely fell in love with her. Will be using again. Appreciate you keeping me updated the whole time.”

Jeffery L.

“Morena stayed at our house while we were on vacation. She was extremely friendly, provided lots of updates and we arrived home to a clean house. We will definitely use Morena in the future.”

About: I’m not sure that there’s one specific thing that would set me apart from other caregivers however, my best buddy Trouble crossed the rainbow bridge in February. Trouble was a 13 year old Weimaraner that my daughters & I rescued during Covid. Currently, Im not ready to be a dog mom just yet but I am ready to fill the empty space in my heart! I miss having a fur baby to walk with & playing in the yard. I have experience with large breeds , rescues, and seniors. I do work a full-time job Monday through Friday but I work a hybrid schedule & on the weekends I am an early riser so I could start as early as 5 AM. I am soon to be an empty nester and recently lost my fur baby. I am looking to keep busy with some new free time! In my clients home, I will care for their animals just as they do & keeping with their routine. If their dog needs belly rubs , quiet time, snuggling time & playing with & walking, I will do it all!

About: With over two decades of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, my journey began at the tender age of 5 with our beloved family dog and a few feline companions. As I grew, so did my passion for animal care, leading me to care for hamsters and lizards. However, it was my uncle's venture into breeding English Mastiffs that truly ignited my interest. From the age of 11, I eagerly assisted in nurturing each litter, learning invaluable lessons in canine care and behavior. Throughout my college years, my love for animals never waned, and upon returning home, I welcomed Odin, my Siberian Husky, into my life. Now at 8 years young, Odin remains my loyal companion, finding pure joy in our woodland adventures. Drawing from my past experience, I decided to continue the legacy of responsible breeding, pairing Odin with a German Shepherd owned by my grandfather. This endeavor not only enriched my understanding of canine genetics but also brought joy to loving families who welcomed our pups into their homes. With a deep-rooted commitment to the well-being of animals, I offer a wealth of experience and genuine care to ensure every pet thrives under my watchful eye. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that my furry companions receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. Each morning begins with a routine tailored to meet their needs. This typically involves feeding, grooming, and exercise, ensuring they start the day on the right paw. Throughout the day, I prioritize regular check-ins to ensure their well-being, providing companionship and engagement to keep them happy and stimulated. In the evenings, our routine transitions into winding down together, whether it's through leisurely walks, playtime, or simply lounging together at home. This dedicated time fosters our bond and allows for relaxation after a busy day. On a weekly basis, I carve out time for more extensive activities, such as longer walks or trips to the park, providing ample opportunities for exercise and exploration. Additionally, I schedule regular grooming sessions, veterinary appointments, and training sessions to ensure their physical and mental health is maintained. Moreover, as a responsible pet owner and caregiver, I allocate time for tasks such as cleaning their living environment, maintaining proper nutrition, and addressing any specific needs or concerns they may have. Overall, pet care isn't just a task on my to-do list; it's an integral part of my lifestyle and a source of joy, fulfillment, and companionship that enriches both my life and theirs. When caring for pets in my client's home, whether through pet sitting or dog walking services, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of their furry companions. For pet sitting, my approach involves creating a safe and comfortable environment for the pets while adhering to their usual routines as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their schedule, providing fresh water, administering any necessary medications, and ensuring they receive plenty of exercise and mental stimulation through playtime and interaction. I also maintain cleanliness by cleaning up after them and keeping their living area tidy. Additionally, I offer companionship and affection to alleviate any feelings of loneliness or anxiety while their owners are away. During dog walking sessions, I focus on providing engaging and enjoyable walks tailored to the dog's needs and energy level. I use proper leashes and harnesses for safety and pay attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure a positive experience. I also incorporate activities such as fetching or sniffing to keep them mentally stimulated and satisfied. Throughout my time in the client's home, I maintain clear communication with the pet owners, providing updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured of their pet's well-being. Overall, whether it's pet sitting or dog walking, my approach is rooted in care, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals.

“Lori was so fantastic to have in my home and she did an amazing job with my puppy! It was incredible to get some time to go to an appointment and run errands while knowing my puppy was safe and having a good time. Lori sent updates and photos so I wouldn't be worried. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
