About: I've often thought about how best to care for my pets when I go out of town. I would want them to be with someone who is loving and makes them feel as if they were with their owner. I would treat your pet the same way I treat mine, with love, care, and attention they need and deserve. We have a fenced yard, neighborhood sidewalks, and nearby walking. I'm super active and into health and fitness. I do crossfit during the week. "A dog is this only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself" I’m currently a stay at home mom to an 2yo, 8yo, and a 6mo puppy. I’ve grew up with dogs in my household. My schedule is pretty much open from 10am- 5pm. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is trained to be out of the cage while I’m gone. I am more then happy to crate your fur baby while I leave my house to do daily errands.

Shalyn and Joe were really flexible and worked us into their schedule to help us out when we needed care for our girls. Super helpful and appreciate them for that. Our girls always love their time at their place, and their shepherd gets along great with Lady and Jazzi. The kids love our dogs and shower them with affection. We are going to miss having such great sitters since we are moving. If anyone needs A++ service and love for your pooches for a great price, these are your people!

About: Have had dogs my whole life and we are active foster parents for a local animal shelter where we specialize in seniors and the friends who are having a rough time adjusting to shelter life. I am able to be home 24/7 to care for your pet. Love to walk and spend time outdoors and will be able to follow any schedule to keep your dog comfortable and spoiled. We do not have a fenced yard so all dogs will be taken out on a leash. Great communication from owners will let us know if there are any other things to watch out for.

Carolyn was amazing! She took our large dog Belle at a last minute request for doggy daycare and was very thorough to make sure she had all the information and tools needed to watch her. Carolyn was very sweet and kind from start to finish with us and Belle. I felt very comfortable leaving Belle with her and would do so again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

About: I am back on Rover after taking a long break when a dear friend needed housing with her 3 dogs for an extended period. I have owned dogs for over 40 years. After losing my 16 yr old Aussie several years ago, I started watching friend's dogs to help my survivor pup adjust to the loss. My clients at Rover have been an absolute blessing for my own pets. Each weather permitting day includes 2 walks and lots of supervision and unlimited indoor/outdoor playtime at home. I provide very frequent outdoor breaks and a roomy backyard with a locked fence with security cameras that is perfect for active dogs to run. I am home all day. I have a huge soft spot and enormous patience for all animals, and will treat your family member with all the love that I have for my own. I text photo updates or snapchats to help you feel confident about how your pet is doing. I also honor your feeding schedule and will work with your pups needs to keep them (and you) as comfortable as possible while you are away. I offer overnight supervision or day care, a cage-free environment (if desired), care for elderly dogs, or dogs who require oral medication. *** In most cases, I limit myself to 2 overnight guest dogs (or 3 if from the same family), so that your pups get lots of focused attention and to reduce the amount of 'new stuff' that they would need to navigate during your absence. *** Last minute bookings are usually no problem as long as we can squeeze in a meet and greet. If I can help insure your peace of mind when you need to be away from your pet, please contact me with any questions that you may have! There is no obligation to inquire. I would be happy to help, and look forward to meeting you and four-legged family member! Karen I will have eyes on your pet all day long. I work from home and can address any pet needs immediately. They will not be left alone for more than the time it takes to run to the supermarket, and usually that is not necessary because I prepare for that in advance. I run every day and can take your pet with me if that is within their physical abilities, with your permission, of course. I watch dogs in my home only, but do send frequent updates to be sure that you are informed about how they are doing. I have a doubly locked fenced yard with security cameras.

About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

About: I would be extremely responsible & caring with any dog or cat. Like humans, pets all have their own personalities & needs. I am adaptable to this & love creating a lasting bond. I am recently retired in great health with no obligations other then the hope I can take care of your dog and cat when needed. I can adapt to your dog or cat’s needs and how it relates to my home or yours. If my client’s home I would show great respect as to the owner’s wishes & expectations.

Craig is awesome! He is very knowledgeable on dog training and gave very helpful advice and tips. I left my 6 month old puppy, Stormy with him for the day and when I picked her up I could tell she loved spending time with Craig. He and his girlfriend are very nice people and I would absolutely trust him to watch Stormy again. I highly recommend Craig if you are looking for someone to care for your dog!
