Lindsay was great with our pup Max! We dropped him off before a Notre Dame game and picked him up afterwards and Lindsay was very understanding with having to shift the pickup times and everything. Our pup came home tired and happy :) Thanks Lindsay!

Okay, I don’t know where to start to describe Josie. She is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for my husband’s description. It means, for me she is amazing and wonderful dog sitter also her family and sweet dog Luna are big help for our dog. Bear loves playing with Luna a lot. Bear feels great in his first week and it helps a lot for our everyday routine. We don’t have to take him for a walk after work because he is already wear out once we get home. I highly recommend Josie for a dog sitter. This week is Bear’s 2nd week with Josie . Thanks a lot Josie

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! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. 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.

Anna was great to work with. We're new to Rover and she answered any questions and was very accommodating to our needs for the day care. We're from out of town and using Rover and Anna made our stay easy for times during the day when our dog could not be with us. We would definitely use Anna when back in the area.

About: I grew up on a farm and I was the one responsible for feeding, walking and the safety of the animals. Trained puppies of all breeds. I have previous vet assistant experience. I have experience with grooming long haired breeds and administering medicine. I check daily temps outside to make sure pets don’t get too hot on walks. I have experience in noticing signs of bloat and know how to intervene. I will always let you know the minute your pet seems a bit “off”. I lost both of my Golden Retrievers due to age and now I fill my home with helping others and their pets which shines light into my life! I am currently working but my work is really flexible with my schedule. If I pet sit your dog or cat, they come first always. I have a fenced in yard and a river walk near by for daily exercise. I am used to medicine routines for cats/dogs as well. My pets have always been on flea meds and UTD.

About: Now in Elkhart, IN! I first started out in the dog world working in doggy daycares. I started to realize there’s a huge amount of wonderful dogs missing out on fun simply because they don’t fit daycare or dog park standards. I was watching dogs get turned away for creating problems out of boredom or stress due to the chaotic environment. I saw owners leaving confused and dogs leaving misunderstood and even labeled. Every dog deserves to be out and about! That’s when I started my own walking/exercise business out of St. Charles MO. Six years later and we’ve had a BLAST! I provide customized outings that cater to your dog and what they love most. Outings build confidence, burn energy, enforce good behavior and teach new skills. We explore a variety of activities like biking, hiking, swimming, dry land mushing and frisbee. We have fun with strengths and work on weaknesses. I am looking forward to bringing the fun to the dogs of IN! 2 hour field trips are available at $50/outing I offer three different services: neighborhood walk, field trip and day care - on the go! Neighborhood Walks consist of exploring anywhere within walking distance of your home. They can be booked for 30mins - 1.5 hr. Field Trips allow for more exploring, more exposure training and more intense exercise. We will drive to a park away from home. These outings are 2hrs. $50 first dog; $35 each additional Daycare -on the go! is the full package. We go all over! This is a 5hr day from time of pickup to drop off. Daycare - on the go! is a group outing where your dog will meet and build a relationship with two - three other day camp dogs. They spend the day together as a group hiking, swimming, biking, exploring, playing and training! My daycare dogs have more park patches than most people! Solo daycare options are available as well in case your dog does not particularly enjoy other four legged friends. $80/dog I have been so incredibly lucky to run my dog Field Trip and Daycare - on the go! business for the past six years successfully and safely in MO.

About: My husband and I have had dogs or been around dogs since we were kids. We know what it takes to feed them, walk them, play with them, and love them!

We have a fenced in back yard with space for your dog to roam or play in. We live in a good neighborhood and the street is not too busy.

I am available 24/7 for you to call as well to check up I have a fenced in yard and can take them for daily walks. You have the option of having then crated or uncrated if they are house broke.

With decades of experience training and titling hunt test dogs, we know how to read behavior, build trust quickly, and keep high-drive and companion dogs alike safe, engaged, and happy. Whether it’s a short stay or extended care, your dog will be treated with the same attention and respect we give our own champions.

About: I grew up on a farm and I was the one responsible for feeding, walking and the safety of the animals. Trained puppies of all breeds. I have previous vet assistant experience. I have experience with grooming long haired breeds and administering medicine. I check daily temps outside to make sure pets don’t get too hot on walks. I have experience in noticing signs of bloat and know how to intervene. I will always let you know the minute your pet seems a bit “off”. I lost both of my Golden Retrievers due to age and now I fill my home with helping others and their pets which shines light into my life! I am currently working but my work is really flexible with my schedule. If I pet sit your dog or cat, they come first always. I have a fenced in yard and a river walk near by for daily exercise. I am used to medicine routines for cats/dogs as well. My pets have always been on flea meds and UTD.

I’ve never met a person who cares about dogs and their livelihood more than Colleen. She treats her client’s dogs as if they were her own and I would never trust anyone else to walk or watch over my dog other than her. 11/10 would definitely recommend her! She really is the best of the best!

About: My husband and I have had dogs or been around dogs since we were kids. We know what it takes to feed them, walk them, play with them, and love them! I work from home full time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup and make sure they are well cared for. I am available weekdays and most weekends. We have a fenced in back yard with space for your dog to roam or play in. We live in a good neighborhood and the street is not too busy.

Melinda is a great care taker. She’s watched my dogs a few times, and I’ve always come back to very happy pets after she was done. She provides love to each animal she cares for, including her French Bulldog puppy, Greg. Melinda would be a great option for anyone looking for quality pet care.

About: I grew up in a veterinary family! Does your dog require grooming daily, pills, insulin, or even daily runs? Perfect! I aim to be available for all dogs even ones with special needs! I love lazy breeds and have lots of experience with energetic breeds like malinois and greyhounds! I live on a lake so if your pet loves water, they can swim! I have a large fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. I can send updates daily of your furbaby❤️ I am up for any challenge. I took up sport and obedience training 7 years ago as well so if you need help while your pet stays here, reach out for that as well! If your pet needs to be the PNLY one here, i can accommodate that too. I work from home so your furry friends will always have me! I am available 24/7 for you to call as well to check up I have a fenced in yard and can take them for daily walks. You have the option of having then crated or uncrated if they are house broke. I have cages here of all sizes and beds. My cat is flea treated so I require your pets be UTD on flea meds too.
