Amy was so kind and welcoming to our pups! We had car trouble on our way back home and she was super understanding and supportive- it was great during a stressful time to know we didn't need to worry about our fur babies. She texted us updates frequently- and asked questions about their diet/sleep situations. They came back home happy as clams! Thanks Amy

Garrett and Monica are the BEST with our Koe. They’re so accommodating and love him like he is their own. Koe loves coming to stay at “Zeus’ house” and is always so happy to arrive. Thank you for all you both do!

Daniela was fantastic! She watched my two springer spaniels over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos of the pups having a great time with their new dog buddy Ranier. I couldn't have felt more confident that my dogs were being well cared for! Thank you Daniela! We'll definitely be back

Aimee and Andrew have a huge fenced yard, a playful Doodle and 2 great kids that made me feel like Jackson was visiting friends, rather than just being boarded. I really appreciated daily updates and cute photos that let me know my Jackson was having a great time. Highly recommend to anyone needing a dog loving family setting for their dog when they travel.

Our Maizy stayed with Allyse and her dog Cooper for a holiday weekend. They went on a hike and the two dogs played well once Maizy got settled in. Allyse knows dogs and she asked all the right questions when we met, which put me right at ease. She even asked if Maizy is allowed on the bed, which she is. She sleeps at our feet each night. Allyse states this in her description that she allows this and it's one of the reasons we chose her. Thanks, Allyse, for taking good care of our Maizy!

About: I have always loved animals. Had dogs and cats growing up. Would always want to take the stray home or help the wounded ones. Over the years my family and I have had numerous dogs, rats, hamsters, cats fish goats and chickens I work full time but have time before and after work to feed, walk, play or just sit and hang out with your animals. I can also come and visit during my lunch breaks. I'm half to stay overnight in your home or have your fur baby stay with me! I have a ½ acre that is completely fenced out in the country. lots of room for your dog to run. I can also stay at your home if that's where your animals are most comfortable. I will make sure they are fed and always have water available. I want your dog to feel like they are at home and safe

About: Hello! My name is Samantha and I am 26 years old. I joined rover to earn some extra money while spending some time with furry (or non furry) friends. I have volunteered at local shelters and have watched the animals of my family and friends since I was about 10 years old. I treat each and every animal with the love, care, and respect that they deserve. I am very compassionate and take the time to tend to one’s animals as if they were my own. My rates are flexible depending on the animal(s), and the situation. I am able to flex my schedule around your needs! I work full time but I am able to work remotely if needed and can take breaks throughout the day if necessary. I often do not watch animals in my home due to my 5 fur babes. However, depending on the situation, and the animal, a short stay in my home may be an option. Hopefully I can be your next pet or house sitter. I have recommendations upon request. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon!!

About: Ever since I was little I’ve helped out with the care of my own family pets and our neighbors and friends as well. I have always LOVED animals and I’ve never found a cat or dog that doesn’t like me. In my past I’ve been in charge of walking and exercising dogs, feeding and watering dogs, and providing an abundance of love! As of now I just graduated college and spent a month abroad in Europe. I am looking for part time work and my schedule is completely open (: I live in an all adult household on 6 acres of land. There are fenced areas where your animal could roam safety, and in the non fenced areas, I’m happy to keep your fur baby on leash and prevent any accidents. I will accommodate to anything your pet needs while they stay with me!

Cheyenne watched our dog Stella for a week while we traveled out of state. Stella is shy in new situations and Cheyenne took her time introducing herself since we didn't have time for a meet and greet ahead of time. Cheyenne sent pictures and videos regularly while we were gone and Stella looked fine. Cheyenne lives in a nice shaded and walkable neighborhood and I felt I was leaving Stella in a safe environment. She had other animals in the house so Stella hopefully had some playmates. Our trip wasn't as long as planned and she was fine with us picking her up early. Cheyenne responded promptly to all of our messages. Cheyenne is a sweet person who was concerned about our dog's routine and comfort while away from home. We would definitely use her again.

About: I recently had two rescue heeler mixes. We competed in agility, and did herding, barn hunt, and parkour. I loved to hike, walk, run, and be active with my dogs. Now that they're gone, I have an open space in my heart for time with yours. I walk and run or hike several days out of the week. I'd love to bring your well-behaved dog along for their enjoyment and my company! Because I live up a steep gravel driveway, I prefer to meet in town or at your place to take your dog for a walk or run. But if they need to come to my place for sitting, I have a fenced yard with some agility equipment. I also have a dog door, to let them have free access to my .5 acre fenced yard. I do have a cat, so if your dog comes to my place, it will have to get along with her.

My dog, Gunner, really loved this place. He was able to roam the property with Garrett's sweet dog Zeus. He was very happy and comfortable being there. Garrett is great and he's very accommodating - our schedule was was in flux due to a swim meet. We will definitely come back the next time we're out of town. I can highly recommend Garrett.
