“Gen was very responsive. She answered questions quickly and sent a lot of great pictures. My dog actually had a healthy amount of play and sleep instead of being overstimulated all day like she would at a traditional day care.”


“Daisy and Paige love going to Erin’s…they love everyone who lives in the house too as it just means more attention to them 🤣 You know it’s a good fit when they run to their door to get in 🤗🩷 Thank you Erin and Evie too!!”


“I just can't say enough about how amazing Sarah and Zach are and how much it means to us to have our active social 1 1/2 year old lab in their care. They understand him, take care of him as one of their own and make it so easy to coordinate and communicate.”


“We couldn’t be more pleased with Marley’s experience with Joyce. Joyce was very good about sending photos that really reassured us that Marley was getting along nicely. Marley was so well-cared for and had such a good time! In fact, Marley laid down outside the car, as we tried to leave, as if to say, “Aw gee, do we have to go home already?””


“Katina cared for our boy again while we were in town visiting. She did an excellent job! Kept us updated with pics and videos all day and our boy was so happy when we picked him up.”


“Daria is caring and attentive, we look forward to her taking care of our Baby Teddy Bear again! I would suggest her to anyone for a safe and comfortable place for your furry family member!”


About: Happy, loving, patient and playful pupsitters who have experience working as kennel manager, dogsitter, and lifelong dog lovers. We love and care for all creatures big and small and happen to love dogs as though they were our own children (and they are.) My partner Jessie and I share all dog duties in our house. Someone is around the house every day of the week, as Jessie often works from home, and our two pups are always home. We strive to never leave our own pups alone for no more than 4 hours so there's always time and room for bathroom breaks. And if the weather is nice we leave the backyard door open for them to roam free (in a fenced area). It is the most ideal place for a dog to have room to move about, activities to entertain, and loving caretakers to help them live their best life. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam, along with healthy wildlife distractions, fun toys, plenty of snacks, and generous room inside the house for everyone to feel cozy, warm or cool, and always nurtured.

“My little pup Macy had a wonderful, exciting day with Gina and her kiddos! She was given lots of love and attention - wore her out in the best way possible! Thank you so much Gina for taking good care of her!”


“Susan and Molly provided the perfect stay for our pup while we were away. They were very communicative and sent lots of cute updates. They took him on walks and clearly went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable - he came home a tired and happy guy. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter - book with confidence!”


About: I have owned a dog since I was a baby. I have experience with goldens, labs and huskies. We lost our 2 huskies in the past 4 months. Our family is dog deprived and wanting to love on your pets as we continue our daughters cancer journey. I am a stay at home mom with 2 girls looking to help walk or take care of your dogs during the week or weekend. I have a partially fenced in yard at this time. I will have it fully enclosed by fall. My home is dog friendly as I have had dogs in the past. I have a great space for them to rest and play.

About: I’m a school counselor (on hiatus) stay at home mom. I have 29+ years of experience pet sitting (starting when I was 8), with 15 of those years being professional dog handling when I used to help raise and train guide dogs for blind people. I have been using a similar dog boarding app for the last few years so I’m starting fresh on Rover but I assure you I’m experienced. I have a friendly pet dog and chickens. What can I offer? I can board your dog at my home or do home visits. I can help with minor dog training. And I’m experienced in several other animals. I have a fenced yard. I’m comfortable with big dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges (case by case). I’ve rescued 4 Rottweilers in the past with unique behavior issues. Why me? I’m particularly in-tune to animal needs, especially when their owners are away. I send lots of pictures and do what I can to keep them comfy. Your privacy is important to me. I respect the vulnerability of letting a “stranger” into your home or being responsible to keep your pet safe. Let’s discuss what I can do for you and your pet. Use this promo code to give pet owners new to Rover $20 off their first booking. Your Promo Code: LINDSS45396 I’m home during the day. Your dog becomes part of my “pack” during their stay, built around their comfort level. I have one pet dog and 2 small kids. Sometimes I have other boarded dogs but I’ll always confirm with both dogs’ families before I book an overlap. I have an infant and toddler that typically travel to gigs with me. Unless I can get my husband to take them after work hours. And two step daughters age 9&10. I put your pets needs as a priority, so if your pet isn’t fond of children, I won’t let my kids bug them. Boarding: dogs spend their stay in the ground floor of my home which is a large space with backyard access. We have a fenced yard. I do require your dog to be crated when I leave the home to run errands. This is for their safety and comfort. If you don’t want your dog interacting with mine, I am experienced in keeping dogs separate and safe. I’ve boarded/sat at least 100 dogs and I’ve never had any issues. Sitting: I can do the basics such as feeding and potty and meds. Plus, I can take your dog for walks or play in your yard. If you prefer, after all your pets cares are complete, I can arrange to bring my computer and work my remote job at your home for a couple hours a day to spend time with your pet. Or watch a movie with them.

“Jenny felt right at home and couldn't wait to go back the second day! I'll definitely return to Paula the next time we need daycare! Communication and updates were great and very much appreciated!”


About: Hello everyone! I’ve taken care of my personal pets my entire life, growing up with labs and vizslas and then adopting 3 pups of my own! I’ve been working for rover for over 8 years now and absolutely love meeting and giving love and attention to pets of all kinds. My husband recently moved back to Wisconsin after living in Colorado for the last 7 years. I work from home full time meaning I can help with your pets before, during or after work, as well as weekends I am available to do drop ins throughout the day, dog walks or house sittings at your house. We have two pups of our own and are open to boarding, inquire if interested!

About: I have been caring for pets since I was 13 years old. I regularly walked my neighbor's dog whenever she needed assistance, and I stepped in to help my friends with their pets during emergencies. My love for animals and commitment to their well-being have always been a priority for me. I am available throughout the week, except on weekends, and I can offer boarding, day care and walk services during that time. I will have plenty of time to care for your pup and ensure they receive the attention and love they deserve! I will make sure to take your dog for walks regularly. If you have a specific time frame for their walks, I can accommodate that. Additionally, if your pup enjoys playing, I'll be more than happy to engage with them and ensure they have a fun and active time!

About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.

Mallory R.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Mallory as a pet sitter and walker on Rover. She has a natural connection with animals and treats every pet as if they were their own. I've seen firsthand how patient, responsible, and genuinely caring she is—qualities that are essential when working with animals and their families. Mallory is dependable and attentive to detail, whether it's sticking to a pet's feeding schedule, administering medications, or simply giving them the time, play, and affection they need. She also communicates clearly and consistently, which gives peace of mind to any pet owner. Anyone who books with Mallory can feel confident their pets are in loving and capable hands. She is exactly the kind of trustworthy, compassionate person you'd want caring for your furry family members.”
