“Haley was AMAZING! We got so many pictures of our pups and they were so well taken care of. She came over to meet them before her first visit and they loved her from the beginning. She even made sure to give our kitties some love even though she was there for our dogs. We felt so comfortable having her at our house taking care of our dogs and will be hauling her again in the future!”


“She’s always very communicative and treats our dog like her own. I would trust Cat with any animal because she’s that attentive to their needs at all times”


“Stephanie is reliable, trustworthy & goes above and beyond + the dogs love her :) Grateful to have someone I feel comfortable having around when I am going away or days I just need the extra help! Couldn't recommend her more!!”


“Spent plenty of time with the pets, played with them, walked them, plenty of hugs and made them feel safe. Very appreciative of the support and kindness she provided to my babies while I was away from home!”


About: My husband and I have cared for dogs our whole lives. We have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. We also have experience with leash training, teaching commands, and crate training. Between Chad and I, there will almost always be someone at house watching your dog. Our fully fenced in yard allows us to let your dog run around and play at anytime. We typically feed all of our animals 2x a day, but can feed your’s on a different schedule if needed. All dogs are taken out every 4 hours during the day. At night, the last potty break is around midnight, and the first one around 7am. Since we have 4 dogs of our own, we are used to building our time around them. If we are ever gone from the house, we put the dogs in their crates for their safety and comfort. As mentioned above, we have a fully fenced in lot with ample space for dogs to run around and enjoy. We love dogs and any dog that we care for will be treated as if it is our own. We love snuggling with them in bed, throwing the ball outside, and taking them on walks. Our goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and as at home as possible. Due to our schedules, one of us is always home unless we run an errand together, so your dog will always be in great company. We have 4 dogs: 1 fixed female dachshund 4yo, 1 fixed male dachshund 8yo, 1 intact male bloodhound 8yo, 1 intact male hound mix 1yo. All of our dogs are up to date on shots and have ample experience playing with other dogs. The dachshund’s tend to do their own thing, and the hounds love to spend as much time as they can outside. None of our dog’s are aggressive, but we are prepared to separate any of our dogs from the main living space, if ever needed. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat who is up to date on shots, he usually stays in our room, closed off from everyone else when inside. We have a 1.5 year old son who adores all animals and will love your dog. We take precautions to make sure he is never getting into a dog’s space and disturbing their space. Our son’s room is gated off from all animals. We have a fenced off area in the back of our property with chickens.

“Christian was amazing and my dogs LOVED her!! Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to watch your furbabies! She's the best!!”


About: I have worked as a volunteer vet tech , 2 different boarding facilities, and have been a dog groomer since 2019. I love all dogs and and enjoy working with them daily I’m currently part time only work 3 days a week so I have weekends to spare and a few days during the week . When at work I’m gone 6 hours I have baby gates to set up in our house incase separation is needed , I have a lot of dog toys to play with , as well as a nice fenced in yard ! I also have water bowls set up inside and outside

About: I have 15 years of pet loving experience. I have past experience with bottle feeding anything from goats to puppies and kittens. I currently have two dogs and one cat. The dogs go for walks in the morning before work, and a walk after work accompanied with playing fetch for as long as my dog can. He decides when we go back inside since he has been inside all day. My other dog get belly rubs and kisses for as long as his brother is playing fetch. Once we go in, they flop on the floor and the cat then gets my undivided attention and a few treats. I like telling you about my day with my fur babies because it is exactly how I plan to treat yours. My Monday thru Friday work schedule is 5:00am till 3:30pm. I work full time and all pets will be left alone for eight to nine hours Monday through Friday. Please confirm that you understand that before booking. This is a hobby for me because I LOVE dogs, I will decline as necessary My yard is not fenced and I cannot accept flight risks. I have two dogs that love everyone and a cat that thinks he is in charge. If needed, I do reserve the right to crate any dog I deem necessary whether it’s yours or mine. Usually mine

“This was my first time using rover.i am so glad we had Cheyenne .my baby’s were very well taking care off . They got lots of loving and play time . Great communication and picture updates every time . Will definitely book again”

“Amy went above and beyond— and is most certainly deserving of great recognition. She took on sitting my dog Benny and short notice and did a phenomenal job. First impression- timeliness! I had booked her for four drop in visits and she was on time for each single one. Secondly, her attention to detail. She asks all the right questions and executes flawlessly. She also has good initiative. Lastly, she makes sure she’s reporting back with Rover Cards that include detailed events and pictures. I highly recommend Amy and will be using her again.”


“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child including Rottweilers, pit bulls, and currently a Cockerspaniel. I’ve also helped care for Saint Bernards and golden retrievers. I also have had a couple of cats along the way and a 1 year old cat now. I currently work 9:30-6 so I am able to care for pets in the early morning or evening hours. I work from home so I don’t have to worry about before work/after work traffic and am always a call away. I spend a lot of time with my pets since I do work from home. That includes walking my dog, feeding both animals and even playing with them on my work breaks!

About: As a dedicated dog walker and sitter, I provide personalized care for pets of all ages.

You can trust me to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away! Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around providing consistent and attentive care, ensuring each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. From daily walks and play sessions to feeding and maintaining routines, I prioritize their well-being. Caring for pets brings balance and joy to my day, and I love building bonds with them while supporting their health and happiness. For drop-in visits, I ensure your pet is well-cared for by checking on their needs, providing fresh food and water, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I take time for play and mental stimulation, making sure they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and preferences, ensuring they get the right amount of exercise and exploration. I always prioritize safety, stick to your instructions, and return your dog home happy and tired.

“I recently had to find a new dog sitter because mine move. I took a chance with Jake and he did not disappoint. He was phenomenal with our dog, he took him on multiple walks which was not mandatory. He asked for feedback to make sure he was doing everything he needed for us as our new sitter. I will definitely be booking him again! Thank you”


About: I have had animals all my life and I have always been the neighborhood dog walker. I'm a dog mom to Charlie the chiweenie. We love sitting at the dog park or going on long strolls. I'm currently available anytime during the week. My preference would be early morning or afternoon walks before the pavement gets to hot for your dogs feet. I have a vehicle to drive to your home. I am comfortable with any harness or leash for the walk. I am strong so I can handle any dog that pulls.
