“Maria was great with our babe! We came home to a happy healthy pup and the house was well cared for as well! She was great about communicating with me and sending me updates! Will totally use again!”

“We were here for a wedding and I had a last minute need for a dog sitter and was blessed to find Grace on Rover. She was on time and sent pictures of Charlie and stayed in touch with me throughout her stay. You could tell that she was a kind soul and loved dogs. If we were from Marathon, I would always request her.”

“Marti is a knowledgeable dog lover and responsible house sitter. She took wonderful care of our dog and our home. She was super responsive by text and left the house in beautiful condition. We appreciated knowing our crazy beagle mix was loved and cared for while we were away :)”

“Jaime is wonderful. My dog adores her, she leaves my house neater than I left it, and she’s extremely knowledgeable about pet care. She gives Molly very good walks which Molly appreciates, and is very communicative.”


About: I've grew up around animals since I was born. I love them more than people. I had 2 golden retrievers I grew up with and I worked for three years at my hometown dog shelter. I'm currently free for whenever you need a sitter. If that were to change I would definitely let you know i'm time but i'm very flexible. I have a fenced in small yard and a nice house for dogs to stay at. I do not have any dog supplies but am willing to get some. I love running and long walks so high energy dogs are no problem.
About: Please be sure to message me first for boarding. Meet and greets will be conducted for 1 hour alone. I need to see the behavior of the dog before I confirm boarding. I have taken care of many breeds of dogs and cats for 5+ years as well as different reptiles and 2 birds my whole life. Im currently going to school and have 2 dogs and 2 turtles who are my entire life. I love them so much and make them my priority. I am not afraid of the big dogs I have had several as well as mean cats 😂. I will follow whatever rules you have for your animals and make sure they are taken care of the same way you would.
“Marina is absolutely wonderful! After meeting her she put my mind at ease with leaving the dogs for the weekend. She is friendly, professional and dependable. We received updates throughout the weekend, the house was spotless when we returned and all our fur babies were calm and at ease. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“David was very caring with my dogs. He sent pictures of them each time he stop to walk them. I was very comfortable with him. I would recommend him to my friends.”


“Kaytee was great with my two dogs! She was very flexible with our cancelled flights. She was reliable and professional and we will definitely use her again and recommend her to others searching!”

About: I have walked my neighbors and family friends dogs in the past and grew up around pets! I love to play with them and make sure they are happy and taken care of! I'm a current college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I only have class two days a week and I am available most weekends and evenings! I will make sure they are comfortable in their own home by gently introducing myself to them! I will make sure they do not get overheated or too tired on walks and during playtime and ensure they have cuddles when they want and time alone when they need!
“I’m very pleased with Ms.Natalie and the care she provided for my pets. She is ethical with great communication and is very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend her for anyone that wants excellent quality care for their pets and home. My pets love her and her fur babies. We hope to see her back again soon!”
About: I have always been a pup enthusiast, I grew up with a huge black lab, Luke. He was the best dog ever, I’d love to take him for walks and play! As an adult I have many dog friends, my sister has the most beautiful pit bull Sadie. I’ll go to her house when I’m in town and take the dog out, Sadie loves when I’m around!! My boyfriend’s parents have two massive Great Danes, we walk them and take care of them all the time. I just have a huge heart for all of our four legged friends. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me. I’m extremely responsible and cautious while walking and playing. I’m a bartender so most days I’m free and would love to spend the off time walking and caring for animals. Exercise for both of us. I am extremely responsible and reliable. Always courteous and respectful. I would care for any animal as if it were my own, and treat them and my surroundings with the upmost respect.
“Alicia connected extremely well with our dog and took great care of him while we left town for the weekend. She was able to administer medicine successfully. She also communicated with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and updates of how much fun they were having. She stayed the weekend to give our elderly dog extra support and took great care of the house by cleaning up after herself. We are thankful that we met and found someone who is respectful and cares so much for our dog.”
About: I love animals. I grew up with cats and have had both cats and dogs in adulthood. I am experienced with many training styles including clicker training and positive reinforcement techniques. I work from home and get out for walks three times a day— hanging with your dog is a bonus! I also have total flexibility and can visit as much as needed. I have a safe environment and am present at almost all times. I will keep your dogs with me, and check in as often as you like.
About: I’m a huge animal lover and the type of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to every dog I pass. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. I’ve been watching dogs and cats for years for friends, family, referrals, and people I’ve met along the way, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. Growing up, my family helped with dog rescues — and still do today — so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I work a hybrid remote schedule, which gives me a flexible routine and allows me to spend quality time with your pet throughout the day. That means more walks, more playtime, more potty breaks, more attention, and of course… plenty of belly rubs and treats (if allowed 😄). I also have experience with longer-term care and have watched pets for entire summers (up to 3 months at a time), so I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away and make sure they are happy, loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I know leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can genuinely feel comfortable trusting with your pet. I would be so excited and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and your pet 🐶🐱. I work from home remotely a lot and am able to take full care of your pets on the weekends and most weekdays. It is a hobby/job for me because I love animals so much! I treat everyone’s pets like my own. Growing up, I had cats, dogs, horses, and every animal you could think of. I would love to have an animal now of my own, but I travel often!
