“I had to leave my pup for 5 days to fly back home and was honestly so anxious but Kathleen sent me plenty of updates and took great care of her! She was extremely accommodating and treated my dog like she was one of her own. I definitely recommend and would re-book with her in the future!!”

“This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous dropping our dogs off. The second we walked into Kayla’s home, our doubts instantly disappeared. She made it very comfortable for our pups, even to the point that our senior dog wasn’t in a rush to leave when we arrived to pick them up! We were very thankful that she made it comfortable for them and would definitely use her again. Thanks Kayla!”

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and a chinchilla! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! We currently work 4 days a week leaving Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to watch and care for your animals. My boyfriend is an early riser and I’m a night owl, so you’re pet will have plenty of time to get the care they need. We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

“Angel was great! My girls definitely loved being there! I know if I ever need the boarded again they're safe and happy with Angel ☺ I couldn't ask for more.”

About: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and my husband, three kids (3, 7, and 10) and I are so excited to love your dog while you’re away! A Roof for Ruffs is the brainchild of our 10yo daughter. We are a foster family for a local dog rescue organization where we take in one or two dogs at a time until they can find their forever homes. We’re having so much fun with fostering that our sweet girl suggested we take on paying clients between our fosters, and donate some of the proceeds to the same local dog rescue organization. ♥️ I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Between fostering, petsitting for family, neighbors and friends, and caring for my own pups, I have experience with all ages—from very young puppies to seniors and everything in between; small and large breeds; well-behaved and questionable; medical cases, and even the occasional cat. 😱 Your dog’s vacay siblings for their stay will include a 2yo female Great pyr/St. Bernard rescue pup, and two 4yo guinea pigs. We are so very excited to meet your dog, and to treat them like family for their stay. My husband works full time, but I am a freelance writer with flexible hours working from home while caring for our three kids. In other words: your pup won’t be left alone often! 😆 **Please note: all pets must have proof of updated vaccines and be okay with kids (they will be loved on and spoiled by our kiddos while they’re here!) I am home daily with my kids, so lots of potty breaks and playtime is possible throughout the day. We are available most weekdays or weekends unless blocked while we have a foster or for travel. We have a 4-foot aluminum fence in the backyard and live on a public park with a walking trail for easy exercise options. We have extra dog crates here if your pup is crate-trained or feel free to bring your own.

“Brittany was amazing! Her and her husband took very good care of our pup! I was impressed with her professionalism and kindness! We received lots of great pictures and videos and updates about our dog, and we really appreciated that! I would highly recommend her for all types of dogs as she has pet sitting in many different breeds!”

“Luca had a good time at Ron. And we were happy that he was at a safe place. From the video and photo Ron send we could see how comfortable our pup was. Thanks Ron and family.”

“Becca was so good both with her interaction and correspondence with me, and with her loving care of my dogs. I was traveling from out of state to attend a wedding and she graciously accommodated my need for "odd hours" drop off and pick up. My dogs seemed right at home at drop off and were happy and playful at pickup. She sent photos of them on a walk part way through their stay. 10/10 would use her again and recommend her to others.”

“Hannah has been taking care of Gunnar since Aug 2017. She is great with him! He's always excited to go to her home. He is well cared for and played with. I recommend her greatly if you are looking for someone to genuinely care for your pet while you are away!”

About: I have dedicated my life and career to caring for dogs. I started dog sitting at 12 years old. I have cared for dogs from months old to fifteen years old. I have been certified as a basic obedience trainer, interned at a dog training company participating in classes from puppy to agility, and I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have experience giving dogs oral medication, but I have not done any injection medications. I am looking to make this my full time job. I do have one dog of my own to care for, but other than him, my schedule is completely open to caring for your pets. I live in an apartment with a park right next to it, perfect for walking my dog and yours. I have one friendly male dog who believes all dogs want to be his best friend. He has toys littering the floor available for anyone to play with, and he has never had resource guarding behavior; if your dog has the toy he will just watch and wait his turn, or try to get another toy they can both play with. I have trained him with positive reinforcement techniques, meaning there are plenty of treats around for the good boys and girls. He is allowed on all furniture and has the choice to sleep in the human bed, which means your pup will have the same privileges. When I go to a clients home I will follow their rules to the letter. I walk their dogs before feeding or keep the pets off the furniture if that’s what they want. I want to apply the same rules to your pets when you’re out of the house so they don’t start showing any unwanted behavior.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from playful puppies to mellow seniors. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, and high-energy breeds that need extra playtime or structured walks. Whether your dog loves belly rubs, fetch marathons, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs. I treat every pup like my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while you’re away. I am home all day as I work remotely! I take several breaks throughout the day to make sure the animals are taken care of. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 18 chickens. Our animals are out and about all day in our home and our chickens have a coop outdoors. We are always outside with our animals to ensure safety.

About: I was a petsitter for three years in Florida walking dogs, taking care of them at home and i have had dogs since i was an adult. With that role i was trusted to be reliable, loving and kind to the animals I took care of. I am a proud dog mom to Pete and Sandi. I love them sooo much!! I have volunteered at the Ark in Lacon and I am a US Navy veteran. I work in the morning and a couple days a week in the afternoon so I'm available during the day as needed. I am also available on nights and weekends. I have a large fenced in backyard for my doggies to run free. My pets are very spoiled. They sleep in bed with me. They have a multitude of toys.

About: I love to play with and see doggies . I'm starting this business because my son and I love dogs so much and we just want to be able to walk or pet some because let's face it it wouldn't be good for the pup with my busy schedule going to college and 2 jobs.

I volunteered at the shelter when I was 12 walking dogs and cleaning kennels . I take care of m cat every day .I brush her , clean out her pet litter , she gets filtered water and Buffalo cat food . I would allow the animal to walk around my home if it was friendly enough too or put them free in the basement w a baby gate up.
