“Pat is just the best. We will continue to use her to take care of our Moochie. She works with us to train our baby. Her patience is unmatched. We just love Pat!”

“Absolutely love Michael! I trust him 1000000% with my fur baby. Bella is my first dog I've had since living on my own and she is my world. I was so nervous at first and Micheal completely understood, and even let us meet him b4 I left Bella for the day with him. I work very early in the morning, and Michael always greets us with a smile.He is always sending me pictures of her happily playing. Bella was nervous the first day or two but now she wags and runs to him! I would definitely recommend Micheal to anyone!”

About: My husband Tim and I both grew up in households where our cats and dogs were treated as part of the family. Our neighbors, friends, and family members trust that we are a phone call away to either go to their homes to feed and take their dogs on walks or to have them stay with us overnight. We have experience with training puppies, caring for older dogs with special needs, and taking care of animals with allergies and special dietary needs. We want to extend our home and hearts to your beloved pets and use our personal experience to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. We can provide daily exercise, administer medication, and even help with potty training. We are always available to receive calls and texts when you are away, and we will update you as often as you would like so you can see what your pet is up to throughout the day and enjoy your time away from your furbaby without worrying that they aren't receiving the attention and love they deserve. We are home full-time on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and available for all your pet's wants and needs during that time. If you are looking for other days throughout the week, please don't hesitate to ask, as we can be flexible with our schedules and can make arrangements that meet your requests. We live in a clean, stress-free, spacious home in a quiet neighborhood. Our dog Dunkin (the boop-nose dog featured in most of the pictures) is very mellow and gets along well with dogs and cats. He loves car rides, sleeping on top of all his toys, long walks, and treatie time. Our two cats, Charlie and Monk, are friendly, but typically keep to themselves upstairs where the comfy beds and best sunbeams are (smart kitties).

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own as an adult, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar to there day to day.

“Archie usually takes awhile to warm up to people and can be kind of stand offish until then. However he IMMEDIATELY took to Patricia and her husband, letting them pet his face and going up to them for cuddles. I've never seen him do that before! He loved them right away and they were great! Will def book again”

“Jada had been wonderful, accommodating, and flexible with my work schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their dog to live their best life while away.”

Nick P.

“Marci and her family were wonderful in looking after Parle! To make us feel comfortable, she even invited us to her house beforehand so we can see her backyard and area where Parle would be spending his time. She provided pictures throughout the day to keep us updated. We feel comfortable with Marci. ??”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!

About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.

“Top tier service! This was my first time using this service and I am so elated I ran into Sterlin. She provided constant communication about the activities she was doing with Bear which made me extremely comfortable and relieved. I also think Bear fell in love as well. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet as if they are there own there’s no need to look any further…YOU FOUND HER!”

About: Dogs give us so much and never ask for anything but kindness in return. I've loved and cared for dogs since I was 10 years old. Now retired, I bring my lifelong passion, dependability and a calm, caring presence to every pet I meet. I'll treat your dog like family-with respect, compassion, and the same love given my own. New to Rover? Ask me about a first-time Rover discount! I am recently retired from a corporate environment and want to spend days outside of an office. Now I have my weekdays free and flexible. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. Their safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether we are on a walk or I am just checking in, I'll provide a calm, secure environment where your pet feels loved and protected.

About: My daycare is a safe, nurturing space where every pup is treated like family. With attention caregiving, plenty of playtime, and a warm, stress free environment. I currently work part time, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to each dog’s needs. I’m fully committed and can adjust my schedule as needed with the option to be fully available to ensure consistent love and care for every pup. I provide a secure environment built on trust, with attentive supervision, gentle handling, and plenty of comfort so every pup feels happy, relaxed and regulated when you’re away for the day or a trip. Your pup has the option to be in or outdoor with group dogs or alone in a separate large fenced section.

“Lisa was great! Super flexible with my schedule and took great care of my dog. Will definitely use her again.”

“Kateri was wonderful with our 5 month old lab puppy! You can tell she really cares about dogs and is very experienced, kind, and professional. We would definitely have her take care of Wally again!!”

Maura F.

“I cannot thank you enough for providing such kind, gentle, and attentive care to our puppy while we were away. Puppies can be a handful, but you made her feel right at home with lots of treats (including your own!), plenty of playtime, and a large dose of patience and understanding. Your extensive experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments really showed. She was so relaxed and happy when we returned. Thank you also for sending frequent (hourly!) updates with photos. We felt completely at ease while she was in your care. We would be thrilled to work with you again and enthusiastically recommend you to others.”

About: I’ve had interesting experiences with pets of my own, including birds, dogs, hamsters, and friendly cats. Experienced in self-training of dogs as well as birds. Now that I am in college, my schedule will be a little more school-based. While off from school I am home all day, available to care for pets for a majority of my time. Overnight care is fine as well I live in a good neighborhood with well trained and leashed dogs. Some friendly outdoor pet cats as well. A good aware community that checks on each other. Many different walking routes as well for dogs who enjoy long and short walks.
