“Naomi was fantastic and always kept us in the loop on walks and outings to dog parks, as well as on eating and potty issues. She sent pictures. I would highly recommend Naomi! We will use her services again.”


“Mark was a perfect pet sitter. He gave our dogs lots of attention including walks and belly rubs. He even got down on the floor to pet them. He would send a picture every time he went to our house to update us. He’s very professional and takes the responsibility of the dogs seriously. He loves dogs and it shows in how he treats them. We would definitely have him watch our dogs again.”


“Laura takes excellent care of our dog Bo, even with his special needs. She arrives when she says she will and I don’t have a worry when we’re away. I like that she is here most of the time because that’s what Bo is used to. Thank you Laura!❤️ 🐶”


About: I have grown up with high-energy dogs my whole life. My family always had English Springer Spaniels and I eventually had my own Weimaraner (sadly no longer with me). I have experience caring for dogs of all shapes, ages, and sizes. I can provide walk, play time, or something a little more adventurous (ask my last dog about backcountry skiing with my in Colorado ha). Also, boarding and drop-in visits. I currently am working part time while I prepare for law school in '26. I generally have pretty open availability. I can travel to your home area as well. My apartment complex has it's own fenced in walking trail. There is also plenty of walking opportunity around the lake trails. There is no other dog in my care that your pet would need to be adjusted to.

About: I currently have a senior Yorkie named Genji. I enjoy taking care of dogs and spending quality time with them. In the past I have volunteered as a dog walker at the animal humane society and enjoyed every part of it. I am looking to occupy my free time and make some extra income. I also work a m-f 8-5pm job, but am more than happy to drop in or stay overnight with your fur baby. I am currently working full time but am free on most weekends, I would be available to drop in before or after work to check in on your dog or home. I am also open to staying in your home if needed. I am trustworthy and reliable when it comes to home care, I always clean up after myself and leave the space tidy afterwards. I will make sure to take your dog out for potty breaks every 3-4 hours to prevent accidents in the home.

“Emilie was fantastic! She was great with communication, prompt and professional! Thank you so much for taking care of Murray while we were away! We appreciate your communication, updates, photos, and entertaining video! Thank you for everything! :) we appreciate it!”


“Leslie took care of my little senior dog Chester when we had to go out of state for a weekend. It was comforting having somebody we could trust and who communicated well with us watch our dog while we were far away. He got to hang and play with her kids too for extra attention. I didn’t worry the entire time we were gone, which is the best feeling!”


About: Hi, I'm Isabella or Izzy! I love dogs and caring for them. When I say 10 years of experience caring for dogs, it is because I have owned dogs all my life and cared and trained them all! I also worked at a doggy daycare for a over year. I do not have a professional certificate for dog training, but I am working to get one. However, I do know how to train basic commands or tricks, if you would like me to help with some training. I am very active so if your dog needs a good run, I'm able to keep up! I will give your dog all the love and attention they deserve! I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! I don’t have that busy of a schedule and am incredibly flexible to the owner/dog’s needs. I can always try to fit in a walk whenever possible. I have a fenced in yard that’s pretty big for a dog to run and play in; and my dog either ignores other dogs or is very playful depending on the temperament and behavior of the other dog.

About: Getting involved in caring for dogs has been an absolute joy in our personal lives along with our family life and easily one of the best decisions we have ever made! We have found over the last 4 years of caring for dogs, in all aspects of the dog care world, very rewarding! We are now fully transitioned away from boarding and are concentrating our efforts on coming to you! We both work from home and are very flexible with our availability. Comfort and safety are of the utmost importance to us for you and your pup! We look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! ALSO: I do have a promo code for first time Rover users! Message me for details! We both work from home. We love dogs and can let them go potty and walks pretty much whenever it is nice outside. When we do go out the pups are kept in the laundry room with plenty of water. We have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! We also have 4 kids that absolutely love dogs and they would get plenty of exercise.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. My mom currently has six dogs so to say our house was a quiet one would be a major understatement. I absolutely love fur animals and would honestly love to have my own; however my boyfriend and I travel a lot and know it wouldn’t be fair. I definitely have the most experience with dogs but can watch other pets as well. I love running and going for walks and just being outside. I really like bringing dogs running with me because they keep me company. I can’t wait to meet your little fur baby! I work full time but I work remote. So I can easily come over and take your dog for walks during the day or at night. I can also easily watch them overnight. I do travel a lot so sometimes weekends are hard but I plan out my schedule months in advance so I’ll likely know right away if I’m busy or not. My boyfriend also works every third weekend so I’m generally home then and would love to have your pet as my companion. In my home i do not allow the dogs on the couch, unfortunately. Otherwise, I’d say everything else is fine. I take them out for walks (usually a mile or two) twice a day and a run/walk during lunch. I love helping them get exercise! As far as discipline goes, it really depends on what the owner recommends as it is not my animal so I would never overstep anything.
