About: My husband and I have a super sassy but extremely friendly husky named Fiona. We dubbed her Fiona the Friendly Husky. I grew up with dogs varying all sizes. Justin has trained Fiona to have the sweetest demeanor since adopting her. We love to give extra attention, rubs, and love. Our family combined has a total of 9 furry family members! My husband and I work from home so we have plenty of time to give extra attention to your pet. We love play time, giving tummy rubs, or simply chase & run time in the backyard with our furry daughter, Fiona. Our home has a fenced-in backyard with plenty of space to stretch, sprawl, and play. A safe space in our home to play a basket full of squeaky and rubber toys. Tons of space to dedicate a safe place for your pet love to rest and relax.

“We had to attend the funeral on the weekend and we were very late. Azaria was very flexible and make us feel comfortable. She had good care of our dog. I would love to ask her again next time. Thank you !”

“Krysta and Alex we're great with Reese! We had a meet & great beforehand to make sure all the dogs got along, and luckily they did. Reese has some anxiety, epsecially with being new to doggy daycare, and Krysta and Alex were very understanding and patient with him. They provided updates during the day and were quick to communicate through text.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I’ve owned breeds with bold personalities, including my current Airedale Terrier, Elvis, who definitely keeps things lively. My Scottish Terrier, Scarlett, was one of the best dogs I’ve ever had—loyal, loving, and full of charm. While I don’t offer in-home boarding due to having young children, I specialize in reliable drop-in visits and dog walks. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk to burn off some energy, or some companionship while you're away, I provide thoughtful, personalized care tailored to their needs. I’m calm, patient, and tuned in to what each dog needs to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family and always provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I’m already used to structured walks, feeding schedules, and giving dogs the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits and walks. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and comfortable. I understand that dogs feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I follow your instructions closely to make sure things like feeding, walks, and playtime happen just the way your pet expects. I always check that doors and gates are secure, make sure your pet has fresh water, and keep a close eye on their behavior and energy during each visit. Whether it’s a slow-paced walk for a senior dog or a game of fetch in the yard, I take the time to meet your pet’s specific needs. Trust and communication are important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.

About: Hi! I'm Kay, a proud Army veteran and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I have personally cared for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and fish. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with senior cats and dogs as well as experience with medication administration. I used to have three Siberian huskies, and am comfortable with active, large dogs as well as small dogs. Whether you need a quick visit, daily walk, boarding, or part-time house sitting, I offer reliable, compassionate service tailored to your pet's unique needs. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and loved. I am available during the weekdays and most weekends to maximize time spent with your loved ones. For doggy daycare, I will be onsite most of the day, leaving for errands (when required) no more than 30 min at a time. I can ensure multiple potty breaks during the day, offer playtime, and walks for exercise. For house sitting I can guarantee large chunks of time (up to 2 hours) during a visit, up to four times a day including a late night check-in (as late as 10pm) and early morning check-in (as early as 6am) but typically do not stay full time or overnight. Willing to discount house sitting pricing for multiple animals in the home. For boarding I will be onsite most of the day, but could be gone up to four hours at a time on occasion. I have a friendly, active, Labrador to keep your pet company. There are also two caged ferrets in the home that are kept separate from all boarded animals. Even though we do not have a fenced yard, I can guarantee at least two walks a day and multiple play times to help burn energy. We have baby gates in the house to help keep your pet safe and secure. I also have a safe space for cat boarding and other pets that need to be keep separate.

“BEST DOG SITTER EVER!!! I could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Carlos provided many updates, pictures, videos, and I could tell from all of the pictures and videos that my little guy felt safe and comfortable, which has not always been the case with other sitters. I could also tell that Carlos genuinely enjoyed my dog. Walks, sunbathing, playing ball, cuddles and naps on the sofa. It really was like my dogs home away from home. I honestly feel like I won the lottery by finding Carlos to take care of my boy while I am at work during the day. My heart is so happy and my dog was so happy and content after his stay with Carlos. I could not be more appreciative. Top notch!!! Thank you so much, Carlos!”

“Telma and as great! My pup took to her immediately and was excited to see her daily. She provide updates and kept him active thru the day! Can't thank her enough, for coming through when I was in a bind”

“Jen is kind and caring about the dogs she sits. Her older dog and Bella do well together. So does the other dog who is also older than Bella. And she has enough indoor space and outdoors on deck and grass for the dogs to have variety in their surroundings. She also walks them 2 or 3 times a day, another plus. And her doggie healthy biscuits that she bakes has Bella begging for more!!”

Joan M.

“Our crazy pup loves spending the day with Heidi and her pup! He comes home tired and very happy!”

Cathy C.

“Benja is an amazong dog sitter! She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Ollie was an extremely gracious buddy for Lollipop throughout the day and very kind to share toys and play with her. My dog came back happy and tired. I would highly recommend Benja for any dog and will happily be leaving my dog with her and her wonderful family again!”

About: I was a dog mom to my Pomeranian mix Bear for 12 years. I have experience taking care of senior dogs especially with health conditions. I know and understand the importance to give senior dogs their medications and taking them on walks but also giving them space. I have taken care of puppies for my family and friends and followed their crate training, tricks, and food intake. I’ve been doing Rover for 6 months and have gained experience of caring different dog breeds with different personalities and special care. As of April 2024, I will be going to the office every Wednesday and working from home Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays. I do have a flexible schedule to go on longer walks with your dog and follow specific feeding times. There are no pets in my home but I have enough space for your dog to roam around comfortably. I have space for their crate if needed.

About: Had dogs my whole life. Sadly, I had to put my baby down a couple of years ago and not ready to get another one yet. Dog sitting would make me happy without the long term emotional commitment I’m not ready for. I work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups :) I only accept dogs from 1 client at a time. I have a nice fenced yard for your pup to play off leash whenever the weather allows. Of course it would always be under my supervision!

“Milo had a great time with Marcela. Marcela is a very kind and gentle person and Milo look an immediate liking to her. She look after Milo with great care since he is a 3 month old puppy. When he came home he was cheerful. Marcela was very prompt in picking him up and dropping him - I am surely going to continue Marcela’s services based on her availability. Thanks Marcela! From Milo and Jay!!”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own and help take care of the family cat. I have experience walking, bathing and feeding dogs. I have interacted with different dog breeds of all ages as I've helped another Rover sitter to gain experience on what to do and not to do. I currently work part-time. Unavailable for walks on Mondays. Will always be around to respond quickly to requests. Would love to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking. My dogs would love to keep your dog(s)/cat(s) company. They get along and I'd love to take them all out for a walk together. Family loves animals as well thus can help if needed. Pets can be crated upon request.
