About: New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.

“Flexible and an understanding caregiver for our active poodle. We were visiting out of state and Sonny was able to accommodate us last minute. Sonny sent us photos, videos, and updates through-out the day, which helped my family be more at ease. We will be using Sonny’s services when we visit next time.”


“Gabriella gave Milo the best care for the price. Gave updates, pictures and videos. Was responsive. And Milo had a great time!! Very reliable and above & beyond service. Thank you Gabriella for watching Milo so last minute. We really appreciate you and would love to use your services again!”



“Michaela was a wonderful dog sitter while we attended a wedding. She was thoughtful and communicative, sending us plenty of pictures of Maeve after her stay. When we mentioned we missed her and would love a few photos during daycare, Michaela was so understanding and sent a couple sweet pictures in the moment that really put our hearts at ease. Highly recommend and if we’re ever in the area again we will book again!”


“Our 6-month-old puppy had his best day ever here! He loved playing in the big fenced yard with the other dogs and I got regular pictures of him during the day having a great time. He was a happy, tired pup when we picked him up!”


About: I have had many kinds of pets, from turtles to birds to cats to dogs to horses. Now that I'm retired, I have time, knowledge and experience to share with others who need support for the care of their pets. A retired teacher who is home most of the time. I have time to give, and I would like to help others with pet care. I love to walk, and I'd love to walk your dog. I have time to stop by and care for your pets in your home. If you need to board your pet, I have a quiet home and would enjoy having your pet in my home. My home is I have a fenced yard for dogs and cozy boxes by windows and two litter boxes for cats. I am careful to follow owner's instructions to follow the routines their pets are used to and to provide visiting pets with any particular medical care they need as well as affectionate attention and exercise.

“We contacted Val the morning of and she was more than happy to have our Remington over for daycare on such short notice. We were super pleased with the amount of photos and videos that were shared through her Instagram. We found it to be very convenient on staying updated with our pup's activities. We can tell Remington had a blast and hope to book with her again! Thank you Val!”

About: Intuitive dog/cat mom, I will find a way to any canine heart. I grew up with dogs in our house and was taught to treat them no less than family members, having said that, I need to confess I am the worst person when it comes to disciplining a dog, but if you have some simple rules for your canine companion, I will follow them. My own puppy is seven years old and he is a spoiled little one, but is a gentle and sweet young fellow, his sister is a quiet long haired kitty. I love them both so much. I am an artist and a student at IUSB, but I have plenty of time between classes for long walks and other quality care your pets deserve. I live in a quiet neighborhood, overlooking a small pond, there is a fenced dog yard right outside my apartment building as well as many acres of green lawns to frolic upon.

About: Regardless of the size, breed, or age of your pet, I can promise we will be best friends by the end of our visit! I have taken care of just about every type of dog, from corgi puppies to 10 year old boxer-pit bull mixes. I grew up with two yellow labs, and know how to treat your four legged friend as an extension of my own family. I also volunteer for Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Paws, a service dog training organization. From the 2 years I have assisted this program, I have gained experience in fostering dogs of all ages, dog walking, general care, taking dogs to appointments, and potty training. I am a part-time student at UNC Chapel Hill, and do not currently work. I have one 2 hour class Monday-Friday, other than that I will have ample time throughout the day to care for your dog! I will walk/exercise your dog whenever necessary, have a large and easily accessed grass area within a 2 minute walk of my apartment, and have no other pets that could interfere with my ability to care for your dog. If your dog is active, I will happily play with and entertain it, I can also simply keep it company and work on school work. Plus, I’ll send lots of photos!

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey and I have a super pet-friendly studio for me and your favorite pup(s) in East Village. When I’m taking care of your cat or dog, my priority will always be to stay in touch, and I will be sure to send updates and accompanying photos of your pets adventures.

Longer stays (7+ days) preferred! ***I will be updating my scheduling regularly and will try to respond to messages in under 2-3 hours.*** I have a very large pet friendly studio and work from home during the day! Your pups will love to stay with me! I will take your pup for neighborhood adventures every day of the week! My studio has AC and I live in my studio full-time. When not working at a restaurant in the evenings, I will be with your pup 24/7. Longer stays preferred (7+ days).

“Julie has a medium sized dog and has always treated it incredibly well. She has also watched my German Shepherds when I have been out of town, and sent me photos of how well they were doing. She has cared for them and even taken them to the beach on Sundays. It is nice to be able to leave town and not have that "worry" about how well the dogs are doing. I think she would make a great dog caregiver.”


Emma J.
“Emma is quite possibly the best pet-caregiver ever! She absolutely adores dogs and will love your fur-babies unconditionally. She volunteers with a service dog training organization, helping to house and watch dogs who will become future seeing-eye and service dogs. She has been trained for this program and knows how to adequately care for, transport, and deal with emergency pet situations. She is very active and loves going on runs, to the park, and playing outside - a dog's dream!”


Kelsey P.
“Ever since I have known Kelsey, she has been surrounded by dogs, cats and horses. Her family volunteered in a non- kill animal shelter and they fostered both dogs and cats for her entire childhood and into her adult years. She is comfortable with many breeds and knowledgeable about animal behavior. She did 4-H dog obedience and received grand champion with one of the foster dogs she cared for. She also worked at a vet office helping with the kennels and during the office visits. She spent her entire life riding and caring for horses on the family's property. She spent 10 years showing horses. Her love for animals is evident when she spends time with them, and they seem to instantly warm up to her. I highly recommend Kelsey to care for your animals.”
