“Daniel was super kind and was very reassuring with everything i asked about when it came to onyx. Especially it being my first time using rover. Appreciate him taking onyx on a walk while i was out of town, will definitely be rebooking him.”

“Roberta was great with our small dog. Daily walks were supported with pictures and video, she was very respectful and loving with him. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future jobs as they come up and would highly recommend that others in the area do as well if you want a solid, honest animal lover looking after yours.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! My family bred Pugs for over 10 years, and I’ve personally owned and cared for animals for more than 35 years. Over the years, I have owned Pugs, Labs, Bernese Mountain Dogs, an Italian Greyhound cats, bunnies, fish, and turtles — so I think it’s safe to say I’m a true animal lover! What sets me apart is the experience and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic dog, a senior pet who needs extra patience and attention, or a shy cat who takes a little time to warm up. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, give lots of attention and affection, and provide the patience and care they deserve. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your beloved pets are in caring and experienced hands! My work schedule can vary from week to week, with workdays ranging anywhere from 12-hour to 8-hour days, so I don’t have a set weekly routine. However, I do have flexibility throughout the week and will do my best to accommodate the days and times that work best for you and your pets. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to work with you ahead of time to coordinate a schedule that provides consistent and reliable care. Communication is very important to me, so I’ll always do my best to plan around my work schedule and make sure your pets get the attention, care, and companionship they need while you’re away. I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in their own home, depending on the service and what works best for the pet and their family. I believe pets are most comfortable when their normal routines are maintained, so I do my best to follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime schedules. When caring for pets in their home, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and affection while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. If pets stay in my home, they become part of the family during their visit. I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, and other animals, and I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home. Most importantly, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re apart.
About: I've been caring for dogs on Rover since 2017, and after 9 years, I've had the privilege of caring for all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I absolutely adore animals, and when you leave your dog with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I keep owners updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout their pet's stay or visit. You'll be able to see how they're doing, what we're up to, and most importantly, that they're happy and being well cared for. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding, and daycare, depending on your dog's needs. For house sitting, I can keep your dog's normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. For drop-ins, I can provide meals, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. And for walks, I'm happy to give your dog the exercise and enrichment they need. I also enjoy exercising myself, so energetic dogs are welcome to get some extra activity. There's a peaceful bike trail near my home that's a great place for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with the dogs I care for. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accommodate longer stays when needed. I'm also happy to work with dogs who have specific routines, medications, senior-care needs, or other special requirements. Most importantly, I want your dog to have a positive experience while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, relaxing together, or simply keeping each other company, I want them to feel like they're spending time with someone they can trust. 9 years on Rover • 100+ five-star reviews • Frequent photo/video updates • Personalized care Thank you for considering me to care for your best friend! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate different routines, including longer stays and last-minute requests when my availability allows. A few important updates about my availability: At this time, I can accommodate a maximum of 3 dogs from the same household for boarding/daycare. I am not currently able to combine dogs from multiple households. I am also balancing my schedule with college, so I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. For boarding/daycare, I require a confirmed booking before arranging a Meet & Greet. This allows me to keep my home and schedule organized while protecting everyone's privacy. Please note that I do not have a car, so I am unable to provide pickup or drop-off services. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Your dog's safety comes first. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and stretch their legs without leaving the property. I also supervise dogs while they are outside rather than simply letting them out unattended. For boarding and daycare, I require dogs to be comfortable with crate use. Crates provide a safe place for dogs when I need to shower, sleep, run an errand, or otherwise cannot directly supervise them. I view the crate as a safety tool and want every dog to have a secure, comfortable space of their own. I'll also follow the routines and safety instructions you provide so I can care for your dog in a way that is familiar to them.

About: Your pet deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve someone who genuinely cares. Hi! I’m Danita, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog loves long walks, jogging, playing fetch, or simply curling up beside someone who gives them lots of affection, I’ll tailor their stay to their individual personality and routine. As someone who lives an active lifestyle, I especially enjoy taking energetic dogs on walks, hikes, or runs (with your approval).

I’ll make sure you feel connected every step of the way. My Care Philosophy: Every dog is different. Some need exercise. Some need patience. Some need confidence. Some simply need someone who makes them feel safe. Before every booking, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, favorite toys, feeding schedule, commands, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I believe consistency creates confidence, and that’s exactly what I strive to provide. Exercise & Adventures: If your dog enjoys being active… We’ll have fun! I love: 🐕 Walks 🏃 Jogging 🌳 Nature walks 🎾 Fetch 🦴 Mental enrichment games I’ll always match your dog’s age, health, and energy level. Safety always comes first. Communication: You’ll never wonder how your pet is doing. I send regular: 📸 Photos 🎥 Videos 💬 Updates because I know they’re part of your family. Before Booking: Please tell me about: • Feeding routine • Favorite toys • Commands they know • Medications • Energy level • Potty schedule • Any fears or anxieties The more I know, the better experience I can create for your pet. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️🐾 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and even runs with energetic dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise or prefers a slower pace with plenty of affection, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, consistency, and lots of love throughout the day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they experience as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I closely supervise pets, keep fresh water available at all times, follow feeding schedules carefully, and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care, and I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing.

About: I have raised pets for years and nursed puppies and kittens of all ages. I personally have 1 dog and 4 cats currently.

I treat all of my pets like children and make sure they are all taken care of as well as I can. I have experience with raising dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. Every animal has their own personality and I have never come in contact with a pet that I’ve felt is too much. Patience is a virtue with all new animals and I make it a goal to make them feel comfortable with me. Our dog consistently goes on hikes with us. We force her on runs even as she gets older. She is 8 now and we keep her moving. They get very consistent play at home and occasionally I force my cats up from naps. Loves of love and pets, many forced cuddles from the animals.
