“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”


“This is the second time Kim has taken care of Mae. As always Mae had a great time and was very well taken care of. Kim was a big help as I had a last minute schedule change and she was able to take Mae and provide a loving home for her so she did not have to stay home alone for 16 hours. Will use Kim again for sure.”


“Sandy was absolutely awesome! She took such good care of our fur baby Finnegan! She sent pictures and had a very cute treat game for Finnegan to play. I would highly recommend Sandy!”


“Kathy did an amazing job caring for my pup! She was dependable and Latte had loads of fun her doggy playdate Missy. I would have no hesitation leaving my puppy with Kathy again!”


“Ashley and her family are amazing. She keeps me informed with how the day is going and is very welcoming. She is so flexible and willing to follow your dog’s schedule. She sends pictures daily which is awesome to see. When I drop Willis off at her house, he is so excited when she opens the door and loves to see her. I am so glad we found her and will continue to use her as long as we need puppy care. Thanks for everything you have done and are doing!!!! <3”


About: I’ve handled pets for 10 years with compassion, warmth, and love like they’re my own. Friends and family have relied on me plenty of times to take care of their fur babies; whether it be a walk, a quick check-in, or sitting for a night. My personality adds comfort and ease to any family. I currently work remote full-time Monday-Friday 7am-3pm, so any needs after 3pm, I am your caregiver! If a quick visit is needed on a lunch hour, that is always no problem as well. I am free all day most weekends for any pet needs, including boarding or sitting. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly. We have a brand new, fenced-in dog park. There is a huge unfenced yard where dogs can be taken out on a leash. My apartment can accommodate most things such as a crate, toys, food, and other animal necessities.

“Lauren was absolutely phenomenal with Rory! He struggles with separation anxiety, but she made him feel comfortable and he warmed right up to her. He even ran straight inside on their second day together, ready to play! Lauren is very responsive and takes lots of great pictures too. I couldn’t recommend her more! We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks again, Lauren!”


About: I have only had my own dogs to engage with but I love to teach them new tricks and help them learn. I am also not afraid to get to know shy pets I would be available after 4:30pm weekends but available all weekend. I work around having other jobs but am open those parts of the day I feed them, walk them, and teach them new tricks. I also love to play with my dogs to get the energy out of them


“Our dog, Gibbs, loves going to daycare at Karen’s house! We can’t even mention the word ‘daycare’ unless we are heading out the door or he will be begging to get in the car.”



About: I'm an energetic person who enjoys being with dogs. I pay close attention to detail and I am always willing to engage in activities to keep your dog busy but I also know dogs need some down time as well. I stay at home full-time so I will be able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I am currently a dog daddy to a Chihuahua named Lucy. She'll be 1 years old on November 1st. She's very loving and friendly dog. I have 7 years of experience. I don't mind taking your dogs or puppies out for walks instead of just staying in the backyard. I will take good care of your beloved pets as if they were my very own.

About: Hello! You may have seen me around town walking my hound and my kitty in his chariot (that is, his stroller). I grew up with a "pack" of usually 5 dogs and 3 cats at a time! My family took in rescues - hunting beagles that wandered onto our property and area shelter babies. I developed a sense of responsibility and deep love and compassion for our beloved furry brothers and sisters. So it's no stretch that I'm now working part time to take care of yours!! I'm offering: Half hour to hour walks Longer walks/park or hike field trips for your adventurous pups Cat walks! I provide the kitty stroller Drop in visits for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, ferrets, gerbils, hamsters, piggies, small flying marsupials - anything else? Let me know! Daytime or overnight sitting I recently fostered two 2-week old chihuahua puppies for several weeks, and I have a good deal of experience making sure elderly puppies and kitties are comfortable and attended to with great patience. I currently care for my gorgeous girl, Belle, with one medium and one looong walk a day (and if you've ever walked a hound, you know that can be an ordeal: they have to sniff EVERYTHING). We like to go on field trips to parks and hiking at Carl Sandburg! If you are wanting your pet to get a bit of socialization with another dog who is extremely sweet, I would be happy to walk your dog(s) with Belle - but that is up to you. When I go to your home, I will take my time to give your animals plenty of love and play in addition to any walks/feeding they need. Their emotional well-being is of utmost importance.

“Samantha was amazing!! I reached out to her last minute to watch my dog while I was working and she was so accommodating and kind! My dog was very comfortable in her home and got lots of play time, I received many photos of my dog looking very happy! Would recommend Samantha!”


“Teresa and her husband were incredibly accommodating when it came down to my last minute schedule. My dog had a blast with all of theirs, and promptly fell asleep a minute after getting into the truck to go home. I was kept up to date with pics and videos throughout her time there to let me know she was ok and having a great time. I'll absolutely be using them again to care for my dog, they were absolutely terrific.”

About: Hello! I’m Carolyn and I’d like to think I’m a bit of a pro when it comes to dogs. Growing up I was the neighborhood dog sitter. I did this for free because I just loved dogs. I had a horse growing up and spent countless hours on the farm with all the animals caring for them. It truly is my calling. In my mid 20’s I managed a doggy daycare for over a year while I was between careers. This was by far my favorite job ever, and running my own doggy daycare became a dream. My dog, Talley, came to work with me every day. She got the perks of daycare and I got the perks of playing with 20 dogs! Talley lived a pampered life with us for 16 years. She had Cushing and was successfully on meds for this for over 4 years. I have lots of experience with senior dogs, medication and specialty care. I also have lots of puppy experience and have raised 2 puppies myself. My 2 year old Golden Retriever, Poppy, loves playing and is always looking for a game of chase or a wrestle. She is thrilled to know we have other friends coming over to play with her. My husband Todd and I have 3 daughters that are 11, 8, and 5. They loves animals as much as me. They are always playing with the dogs and taking them out to play in our fenced backyard. Check out my Facebook page to see lots of videos and stories of dogs I watch throughout the week “Carolyn’s pup and farm care”. This has lots of pictures and videos of the house, yard and happy dogs! Interested in dog walking?? I walk 3-6 miles per day so if you need someone to come walk your dog I’m a great fit for that too. I tailor my walks for my 4 legged friends. Older pups go on shorter walks, I avoid extreame heat and cold so their paws don’t get hurt. I’m super fit and can walk for hours so if you need a regular walker, or just a once in a while walker, I’m your girl. I can walk just your dog, or bring my 2 year old Golden along so they have a friend. Sometimes the weather stinks and walking isn’t ideal. I’m happy to go over and let your dog out, feed them, and play inside with them. Whatever works for you and your dog I’m happy to do! Right now, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday are my walking days. Why I’m on Rover: We have an amazing horse, Steel, and that’s my reason for being on Rover. I show this beautiful guy and it’s quite expensive and he is quite spoiled. To be in top shape this magnificent horse receives chiropractic, massages, training and constant care. Did I mention I love my animals, lol. So, to supplement my horse showing I’ve decided to open our home up to dog walking, doggy daycare and boarding. Not sure if I’m more excited or the kids :) My Schedule: I’m a stay at home mom. My daughters are in school during the week. I’m home in the mornings until about 9:30, then I go to the horse barn to train for a couple hours during doggy nap time. Then I’m home the rest of the day and evening. My dog eats 3 meals a day and go on 1-2 walks (weather depending- her feet are sensitive to the salt and cold). She goes out in the fenced yard about 30 times a day. My golden has me trained to open the door when she paws at it. She truly hit the jackpot with me and is so loved. I believe in routine and my golden Poppy has my every move down. “Welp, time to go” and she lays down for nap. When workout socks go on she know it’s walk time. Cooking in the kitchen means party time in the back yard. We have lots of space to run inside and out. We are a loving family that will adore your dog while you’re away. For boarding- About our home: I have a fenced back yard for the dogs to run and play in. We have a large almost 4000 square foot home for the dogs to play in. We have a swimming pool in a separate fenced in area so if your dog is a swimmer they will have a blast in the summer. Other than the few hours I leave to go ride the horse, I’m home all day. After our walk, my dogs follow me room to room and help with chores. We also have a large backyard that isn’t fenced for the dogs to run in. It’s about 1 acre of beautiful mowed lawn, so no brush or thistles for them to run through. Important to note that I only unleash a dog if it has a recall. My older dog can’t hear as well so her days of running outside the fenced yard are over. This is for the safety of the dog and for others. It’s only fair to allow a dog to run free if it knows how to safely return. My golden, Poppy, loves every person and every dog. I’ll never send a dog home dirty. So if that means a quick rinse or a full out bath, that’s what we will do. I have all the grooming brushes and will pretty your pup up before they head home.

About: My previous experience with dogs gives me the ability to provide personalized and attentive care, as well as reliability and trustworthiness. I understand the effort it take to really connect with a dog, and I promise to do that with every dog I interact with. I work fully remote with a very laid back schedule. I am able to give your pet direct attention throughout the day with lots of play time. This also allows me to let them out frequently and go on walks. I currently do not have any other pets living in my apartment, and the place is theirs to roam. I do not have a fenced in yard so if playtime was outdoors I would keep them on a leash.

“Our puppy Maverick had a great time playing with Nate's puppy! Nate was very communicative while setting up the reservation and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times which allowed us to pick up Maverick late after enjoying the state fair. Maverick was well cared for and was very tired when we returned home! Thank you!”

Garrett S.
“I've had the pleasure of having Garrett take care of my dog Winston multiple times when I've been out of town. He's reliable, caring, and truly treats Winston like he is his own dog.

I highly recommend Garrett for any pet sitting or dog walking!”

Alexandra F.
“I hate leaving my fur babies. The only thing that makes leaving them less terrible is knowing that I left them with someone with a big enough heart to love them and take care of them like I do. And Alex is that someone. And she will be that someone for you. And you're animals will love Alex. My dog Molly gets happy jumps and zoomies just from seeing her. And she even won over my cat, Oreo. She's 13 and has only genuinely only liked 5 people in her whole life and Alex is one of them. Alex spent days winning her over with treats and toys. She was so patient and let Oreo come to her for pets when she was ready. Alex doesn't just love animals. She's patient with them. She understands their body language and knows how to listen to them and take care of them.”

Carolyn S.
“Soon after getting a Boxer puppy we realized we needed to find a place we trusted, a few days per week, where she could go play herself out while we were work. There was a lovely doggie daycare on our way to work and that’s where we met Carolyn. Our puppy LOVED Carolyn as did we. We were so comfortable dropping our fur baby Abbey off knowing Carolyn would be there to care for and watch over our girl. We trusted Carolyn implicitly with our puppy’s life and could never thank her enough for the gentle and kind way she handled our very energetic and sometimes sassy Boxer. Even after the years passed and Carolyn moved on and our circumstances changed, when Carolyn heard our sweet girl Abbey passed away Carolyn reached out with such comfort and kindness which meant the world to us. If we were to ever bravely open our still broken hearts up to get another dog we would definitely want Carolyn involved with the dogs care. She truly loves animals.”


Quinn S.
“Quinn has a very kind heart and loving spirit. Quinn is responsible and strong which translate into making sure your pets are loved and cared for well.”
