I am so blessed to have found Tamara and double blessed that she lives so close to me. Perry took to her right away and he loves her dog Ollie. I am so happy that my baby now has somewhere to go and have some interaction during the week. I’m excited to have a learn long-term caregiver for Perry.

About: I have had dogs since I can remember! I have worked in kennels and dog grooming. I have worked with all different breeds and sizes. I have raised and trained many dogs of all breeds. Currently, I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I have a 9 year old daughter who has been raised with all animals and is very comfortable around dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a golden retriever who is super friendly! I do have a crate in my house if that is needed/preferred.

About: I am part owner of a dog training business and have dog trainers on premises. I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember. I believe dogs are the best medicine for anyone. I limit myself to only a few dogs at a time so that I can ensure each pup gets all the love, attention and care they need while their owners are away. I am a remote worker, so I am home nearly 24/7 so your pup will be well cared for and treated as though a member of the family while staying with me. I cater to what each dog needs. Your dog will never be left alone unattended while staying with me. I have 6 acres so there is plenty of opportunity to explore.

Bertie was amazing! It was my first time using Rover as a pet owner, and I needed a sitter for the day while on vacation. My puppy is still fairly young and is very attached to me, but she appeared to settle in pretty quickly and have a great time with some other pups. Bertie stayed in touch while I was out, sending pics and updates, and even recommended some great local spots to check out. Super happy with this experience!

what is a very awesome Rover mommy I’m very funny where I leave my puppy and she took care of her better than if she was her own puppy she even trimmed her nails for me. I definitely will be returning to Paula again many times she is more than a five star sitter thank you so much, Paul

Our pup has been seen back since he was a little baby. I really appreciate that he can have multiple dogs at once and be so thoughtful about pairing up dogs that will play well/safely together. Zach notices the sweet little things that we love about our baby, and it means a lot that he cares enough to notice Pax’s changes as he grows up. Pax is ecstatic when we pull up to Zach’s house, comes home tired from a day full of fun. Thank you for being there for us, especially for our last-minute requests like today!

About: 💚 DOGGY DAYCARE: Need a safe, loving place for your pup during the day? I offer doggy daycare with plenty of supervision, outdoor play, snuggles, and rest time throughout the day. Daycare drop-off begins at 6:00 AM, and pick-up must be no later than 5:00 PM, for stays up to 8 hours total. 💚 PERSONALIZED BOARDING: I intentionally keep my boarding numbers low so every dog receives plenty of love, attention, supervision, and care. Whether your pup loves playtime, couch snuggles, or a quiet place to relax, I work hard to create a safe, stress-free home environment where they feel like part of the family. 💚 ABOUT ME: I'm a homeschool mom, homemaker, and lifelong dog lover. My husband, our two kids (ages 8 and 11), and our three friendly dogs make our home a lively, loving place! I'm experienced with different breeds and personalities and take the time to get to know each pup individually. 💚 MY HOME: Someone is home most of the time to keep your dog company and ease any nerves. Expect outdoor play, couch snuggles, lots of love, and maybe a surprise math lesson or two! (Don’t worry, no pop quizzes.) Guest dogs are carefully supervised during interactions with our resident dogs and any other boarding guests. 💚 MEET-AND-GREET: I require a meet-and-greet (free of charge!) to make sure it’s the perfect fit for everyone — including your pup. Message me anytime to set one up. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 💚 RESTRICTIONS: For insurance reasons, I am unable to accept Doberman Pinschers, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Chow Chows, German Shepherds, or wolf hybrids (full-bred or mixed-bred). Thank you for understanding! 💚 DOGGY DAYCARE: Need a safe, loving place for your pup during the day? Daycare drop-off begins at 6:00 AM, and pick-up must be no later than 5:00 PM, for stays up to 8 hours total. 💚 DOG BOARDING: I offer flexible dog boarding, with drop-offs as early as 6:00 AM and pick-ups as late as 10:00 PM. As a homeschooling mom, I’m home with the dogs most of the time. If I do step out for an activity, it’s only for a couple of hours, and I’m happy to give you a heads-up if you'd like to know when your pup will be home relaxing. If your dog prefers or requires crate time for naps or comfort, I’m happy to accommodate! 💚 MEALS: Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Meal times are peaceful and stress-free, with pets separated. We typically do twice-a-day feedings, but I’m happy to adjust if your pup has a different routine! 💚 PLAYTIME: Your dog will have an outdoor paradise to explore! I have a large, secure fenced yard that's perfect for fetch, frisbee fun, or just a good old-fashioned sniffari. I’ve got plenty of toys to keep tails wagging and spirits high. 💚 BEDTIME: Bedtime is whatever your dog needs it to be. Whether your pup prefers their own bed, a cozy crate, or curling up in a favorite spot, I’ll do my best to match their home routine for a comfortable, restful night.

Jessica was a great sitter for our precious pup, Bruin. Jessica’s communication with me during Bruin’s stay was great and she even sent pics of Bruin while he was in daycare to let me know Bruin was doing well. I would highly recommend Jessica to watch over your pup.

Love Carolyn. She is super easy to get ahold of; always available, professional, and responsible with all the dogs! She has other awesome doggies that play with Izzy and I can tell she has a blast. Carolyn sends the cutest photos; it’s good to see that she’s enjoying herself! I will be having Izzy stay at Carolyn’s more in the future!!

Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again

About: When my rather difficult but beloved rescue passed away in November 2024, I realized for the first time how integral dogs are to living a happy and healthy life. In April 2025, I decided it was time to add a new addition to my family, and I now have a 7 month old female German Shepherd, Pilar (who I'm pretty sure is a Golden Retriever trapped in a Shepherd's body). Pilar is the most friendly dog you'll ever meet, and she LOVES to play with other dogs. I am constantly searching for quality day care for her, and I find it's difficult to find someone who is truly reliable and provides safe, clean, and comfortable care. So I've decided to take matters into my own hands and invite pups into my home. When your dog stays with me, she's going to enjoy all of the comforts she's accustomed to at home. Whether that be napping on the couch, playing in the fenced-in backyard, or lounging at my feet while I work from home. I even have a couple of crates if you'd prefer your pup enjoy crated nap time. I've had pets my entire life and have plenty of experience with animals of all types and all personalities, including damaged rescues. I've been through extensive training with Pilar and am happy to apply the skills I've learned when working with your dog, as well. My main goal with providing this service is to create an environment where pups who really enjoying playing with each other can do so safely and comfortably while enjoying the kind of care they're accustomed to at home. Please note that I have a 10 year old cat, and while she knows how to hold her ground with dogs, I cannot accept any pups who don't tolerate cats or who would put her safety at risk. I work from home full-time so pet care is woven into the fabric of my daily routine. I can support hourly potty breaks and am able to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, mealtime, potty time, snuggles, etc. I have a fenced in yard where dogs will be let out for supervised play and potty breaks. Depending on the time of year and your preference, I have a small doggy pool so that dogs can play in the water to release energy. Indoors, dogs are welcome on the couch and on the dog beds. During nap time, I can crate your pup if you prefer, or she can be loose. The only place that's off limits are my two guest bedrooms.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years, pets are my passion! I am also a former Petshotel and Doggie Day Camp Manager for a national chain and have extensive experience handling dogs, cats, and small pets of all sizes and breeds. I am currently accepting small and medium sized dogs for in house day care and overnight stays. I specialize in small and delicate breed types, not usually suited for kenneling or vet boarding. All fur babies will be treated as family members while here! They can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, and watch TV with us just like at home. Some larger "gentle giants" can be considered on a case by case basis, just reach out. I believe pets are family! All pets in my care are treated with loving and gentle guidance using only positive reinforcement. All dogs will remain on leash the entirety of their walk. We have a fenced in area off the back patio for bathroom breaks with wood chips as ground coverage. No grass of any kind for the safety of those pets with grass and skin allergies.

About: Desdé muy pequeña siempre hubo una mascota en casa, al dia de hoy el apego que tengo a los animales es muy especial, no puedo no emocionarme cuando veo algún ser vivo pasando frente a mis ojos, para mi sería un privilegio que me dieras la confianza de cuidar a tú mascota como si fuera un miembro más de la familia.♡ Actualmente tengo un trabajo independiente, asi que eso me da mucha flexibilidad para adaptarme al horario que tu mascota necesite cuidado, atención, alimento, cariño y muchísimo más. Tengo un apartamento bastantes amplio dónde tu mascota puede estar tranquilamente, tengo algunos premios, juguetes, comida, cosas con las cuales estoy segura no podria aburrirse, me gusta mucho salir a caminar asi que podria ser un gran beneficio si lo que necesitas es que tu mascota salga a despejarse un poco.

About: I have been helping take care of dogs and cats since I was 10 and have pet sat for many people before joining Rover. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, fish, and chickens. I am excited for the opportunity to look after your pets of all kinds! I can watch your pet during the day, do shorter drop-in visits, or stay overnight to give your pet attention while you’re away from home. I have a flexible schedule as an online college student so I can spend the majority of time with your pets, in your home or mine. I like to stick to the routine your pet is used to, but am also open to taking them on adventures if they do well in a small car.

About: I've had pets all my life. From big dogs, to tiny dogs, to stray cats having kittens under my shed. I even had a hedgehog when I was in college (the first time). I am currently enrolled at BRCC to become a Veterinarian Technician. I have worked in wildlife rehabilitation as well. In doing this I have been lucky enough to gain experience with various species of animals, wound care, rescue and release. My husband and I just welcomed our second baby in Spring 2025 and we have a toddler so this has limited my pet sitting availability. I’m currently only doing drop in visits close to home. Please reach out with any questions. I have basically no traveling plans for the summer. I do work in town as a bartender, but it’s limited to one or two nights a week. When I’m not there I’m with my sons, but I am pretty flexible! Just shoot me a text and we can always work something out. My yard is easily escapable so I will always have your doggies on a leash to keep them safe. My two tiny hounds will gladly help me keep them company and entertained when staying at my place!
