“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”

“Allyse hosted my dog for doggy day care since she panics when left alone. Itza had good company while I was at work, Allyse took great care of her, providing lunch, potty breaks, and sun bathing time in their fully gated yard. Itza will be back, I highly recommend Allyse!”

“Ellen was great. She took great care of our pup and was very easy going. She even had some advice for activities in town that were really great. We will definitely see her again next time we are in town.”

“Robert and Sheila were fantastic! They were responsive and easy to work and took great care of our little one, Shelby. Their sweet dog Yoti was patient with our timid and over-attached dog Shelby. Yoti is friendly and welcoming……just like Robert and Sheila. Their home had a beautiful back yard where the dogs can roam together, and Rob is there with them all day while he works. We were fortunate to find them.”

“I'm so glad I found Zahra on here! I dropped my dog Charlie off and immediately felt comfortable leaving him with her. My dog can be quite anxious, and is an older tripod, but I could tell he was at ease when I picked him up. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Adriana is lovely to work with and conscientious about watching the dogs and making sure they are safe as they play.She has a nice play area for the dogs. My dog loved her young Golden Retriever and they had a great time”


About: Every dog is different and that’s how I approach care. Whether working with a high energy puppy who needs structure and consistency or a senior dog who needs patience, gentle handling and extra attention, I tailor my approach to fit their personality and needs. I provide the highest level of attention and communication. I treat every dog like they’re my own by paying attention to their behavior and comfort, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I work fully remote at home with the flexibility to take breaks as needed, go for walks and attend to your dogs needs at any given time. I have a fenced yard for outside activity while my home provides a comfortable space for your dog. I live right next to a big park that’s ideal for dogs.

About: I just LOVE animals and they seem to love me! I have quite a bit of experience caring for various dogs, cats, etc. I've also helped my 3 children raise a variety of animals as well! Out of the many things I could be doing I choose caring for pets because it's one of the most gratifying jobs! You can be assured and comforted to know that I'll take great care of your loved one and your home as I am very considerate and conscious and considerate. I am also very flexible and can accommodate most schedules. :-D I look forward to getting the chance to work with you! Warmly, Toni My focus while caring for your pet is their safety, well being and trust. Since I am very caring, calm and affectionate, this makes it easy for your pets and me! Just let me know what your needs are, and I'm sure I could accommodate! I also have my son Luca to help me. Warmly, Toni I am able to be with your pet most hours of the day. Will need to leave to grocery shop, or church :-D Sometimes I take pets with me depending.... I only care for your pets in your home. I'm renting a home that doesn't really accommodate pets :-( If something changes, I'll keep you posted!
About: Need someone who will make your dog feel just as happy and content as they would while being in their own home with their pet human? That's what my goal is when your dog is in my care. I provide a clean loving home environment. I make sure their day is both enriching and structured so they feel calm, confident, and emotionally balanced. For Drop Ins I am able to care for many types of animals. I grew up with chickens, rabbits, cats, birds, hamsters, mice, fish and of course dogs. I am very responsible and efficient. I prefer to meet and chat with each client before to get all the important information that I will need and to know before hand. I will take photos to give updates so that you can feel good knowing things are going well. I am new to Rover but I have been caring for all varieties of animals for my entire life. Both my own and for others. I am home full time and can give my full attention to your pet. I go with the flow with how your dog is feeling. Feeling like sitting and having extra cuddles? No problem! Feeling like wanting to immediately go outside and play right away? Let's go! I strive to balance your pets well-being with physical exercise and mental stimulation during playtime. It's important to me that they feel safe and happy while you are away. If for any reason I were to feel they didn't and seemed stressed, I would let you know. In my home I am not able to care for dogs that are: * Incessant barkers * Not trained to potty only outside * Not leash trained * Not on flea medication
“Penny is always so happy when arrives at Susannah’s! It’s a great sign when she starts squealing with excitement when we pull onto their street! Susannah and Richard are great and we look forward to continue having them watch Penny!”

“Jennifer is a fantastic dog sitter! She was wonderful about sending updates and cute photos which really put my mind at ease. My usually anxious dog was surprisingly comfortable and happy in her care. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a caring and attentive sitter!”

“Thank you for taking great care of Toto. The photos of him with mochi are so cute. They look like great friends! It was so great to see all the updates with the playing and napping. It was a nice vacation day for him.”

“Catherine was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and did not know what to expect. Catherine was very easy to work with on scheduling and she put me at ease when leaving my big boy for the day. She sent pics during the day and let me know of any issues that arose. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Judy did a wonderful job with our Sunshine. She had the extra pressure of dealing with two dogs who were unfamiliar with each other. Because of Judy we were able to enjoy day at the Safari while on vacation.”

“Heather & Calob are caring dog owners and obviously take this role seriously. My service dog needed a little respite from me on a Sunday afternoon. They are a terrific choice. Thanks guys! We’ll see you again!”

“Jacob and Shayla did an amazing job with our two pups!! They have a great environment and approach for taking special care of your dog. We will definitely use them again!”

“Kozue hosted my dog over their home for doggy day care various days by now and we will keep coming back! I trust that my dog is in good hands when she's over Kozue's home. She gets to sunbathe and walk in the secure gated yard to smell around. I think my dog wishes she lived there ; )”

“Oh my goooooodness Lady had a blast with Robyn & Jojo! This was my first time leaving Lady for a whole day of doggy day care and I can’t imagine it going any better. Robyn is a total pro and I’m so grateful to have found her :) Will definitely book again!”

Allyse was so wonderful and I feel like we really found a gem! Charlie and I aren’t apart very often, so we both get a little separation anxiety but I knew he was in such good hands. I really appreciated all the photos we got throughout the day and could tell he was having so much fun. Allyse has such a kind and gentle demeanor and I’d highly recommend her if you have an anxious pup!

I'm so glad I found Zahra on here! I dropped my dog Charlie off and immediately felt comfortable leaving him with her. My dog can be quite anxious, and is an older tripod, but I could tell he was at ease when I picked him up. Will definitely book with her again!

Catherine was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and did not know what to expect. Catherine was very easy to work with on scheduling and she put me at ease when leaving my big boy for the day. She sent pics during the day and let me know of any issues that arose. I would definitely recommend her.

I am so thrilled that I found Robert, Sheila and their wonderful Yodi to take care of my Winston. Winston is quite picky with who he approves of plus he has more separation anxiety now after we lost his corgi sister Abigail in March. They did a wonderful job of getting Winston feeling like at home and at ease. Yodi will definitely get to hang out with Winston more very soon! Thank you for taking care of my fur baby and give me peace of mind knowing that he is so happy hanging out with all of you!

Millie had a great time at Jennifer’s. She got the royal treatment, with lots of attention. Jennifer had non-chicken treats just for Millie! We enjoyed the pictures and updates. This is the 2nd time Jennifer has watched Millie, our high anxiety bulldog. Both experiences have been outstanding!

This is the 2nd time we have used Aisling to watch our girl Millie. Millie has anxiety when we have parties or gatherings. She also does not enjoy children, so we use Aisling for doggy daycare. Aisling has made Millie comfortable while in her care. We get lots of pictures and updates. Millie seems content and well cared for when we pick her up. 5 stars for the wonderful care and great communication!
