“We were in town while traveling and needed someone to watch our dog while we visited New York City. Ruby loved visiting with Marisol and her family! She took excellent care of her! We knew Ruby had fun because she was so excited to go back the second day! If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely call Marisol!”
“Kathleen is an Amazing person and she took great care of our dog, Ozark! She is very calm and comforting and made our dog feel right at home. She has a great backyard for the dogs to run and her dogs Bella and Sasha are very sweet. We look forward to booking with her again!!!”

“June was great while taking care of our pup. Kept us posted on all of the activities and shared pictures and videos. Molly looked like she had a blast with other Boston terrier June was caring for that day. Good experience. Recommended.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. Love walking and sitting dogs. I get to dogsit for my family and friends often when they go on a trip which I love! I am an active person and love the outdoors which would be perfect to get your pup as my walking buddy. 🙂 I WFH with flexible schedule. I go for a walk a few times a day which would be perfect to walk your pup with me! 😃 most nights and weekends I am free also which would be perfect for date nights and weekend care. I do have a dog crate at my apartment if needed.🙂 I live in a pet friendly apartment complex, where plenty of space to walk. Nearby trails if preferred. My own place is clean and safe for pet care. ❤️ 🐕
“Milo had the best time with Kiara and her dog Chase. Kiara was so loving with Milo and sent pics to keep me updated on Milo’s day. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to have Milo stay again.”
“Louis was great! THE BEST PHOTOS YOU’LL EVER RECEIVE FROM A ROVER. We got quality photos in under an hour. Our dog Brownie cozied right up to him immediately on first meet up. Accommodated us on less than 24 hours notice for a last minute emergency. Allowed us to meet his dogs and see how they play.”
About: For years, I've been the trusted pick for apartment friends when they travel. Count on me for top-notch pet care, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and tender attention. I have a lot of love to give! I currently start my days at 6AM when I go to the gym and then I do not start work (from home!) until 9AM so I have plenty of time to spare in the morning. While I have a flexible schedule, I also like to follow a strict routine regularly so adjusting to your dogs routine is an easy transition for me. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure they have ample food, water, playtime, and exercise.
“David was amazing. We had a last minute outing planned that wasn't pup friendly. The night before David responded within minutes and offered to help out for a full 12 hours. It was the first time we were leaving our pup with anyone and he graciously agreed to meeting him the same night. The day of David sent updates without any request and was understand with pick up time (we we're a little late due to some traffic). Our pup was happy and well taken care of.”
“Nathalia took great care of our Golden Retriever. She was very responsive and easy to communicate during the entire stay. I would recommend her to anyone in the area that needs boarding/doggy daycare services. 10/10 would book again.”
“Dawn and Lola welcomed Pebbles with such kindness. Dawn was so pleasant and concerning to Pebbles needs. Pebbles has separation anxiety and Dawn comforted her while I was leaving. The many photos I received made me feel so comfortable that Pebbles was having a great time and in great hands!😊.”
About: Hello there! 👋 I have been involved with my parents two pups for the past 8 years. I’ve watched them grow since they were 3mo. old and have experienced caring for post-op injury (double knee reconstruction) on one, and a mast cell tumor removal/chemotherapy/radiation treatment on the other. This has required taking care of bandage changes, feedings, bathroom breaks with a sling, many cuddles, etc. I have since added 4 additional dogs to my care along with 1 feline friend! *Please Note: 20% of earnings is taken by Rover - prices have been slightly increased to accommodate for this and increased expenses. THANK YOU for your understanding!!* NEW! Doggy Daycare: For ALL daycare/boarding clients, all dogs must be up to date on their vaccines. This includes: -Rabies -Bordetella -Canine Influenza (recommended but not required) *Proof of vaccinations will be required prior to drop-off.
About: I’m a mom of 2. One in college and the other a college graduate living on their own. I had dogs growing up. We had a dog as the kids grew up with and lost him in 2019. I pet sit for family members whenever I can. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so hopefully I can meet your needs. I work from home and my hours for work are flexible. I can adjust my schedule as needed. This will hopefully meet your needs and your pet. I am always home and have a beautiful lake to walk your four legged friend around while they are here. I go at your pets pace so if they like to sniff around that’s fine.
“Chloe had an absolute blast — chasing her pup pals like a wannabe track star and relaxing in the shade like the little lady she is. Thanks for taking such great care of her! Can’t wait for her next adventure with you!”
“Lisa kindly dogsat for me at her home on a weekend day. My 4-month old pup had a great time with her and her pug (who is really cute). She had another client stay longer than expected, so ended up unexpectedly with three puppies on the same day! But she kept great communication and kept our appointment, which I really appreciated. You can feel Lisa's compassion for dogs. She keeps a very neat and clean home and property and has a fenced in backyard. Really glad to have her in the neighborhood!”
“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”
“We were in a pinch and needed to figure out what to do with our dog when an out of town wake and a funeral came up suddenly. We found Jonathan on the Rover map in the area we were staying. He responded promptly and we set up the times we needed daycare. He was flexible as our drop-off and pickup times had to be adjusted. Took care of our dog and - very telling, I think - she seemed fine with going back for the second day. She also seemed fine, looked pretty relaxed when we picked her up,”

Cadence had a lovely day at Marisol's house! Usually, she hesitates when entering a new place without me; this time, she was happy and willing to go inside with little coercion, which was a great sign. Marisol sent nice photos of Cadence during her stay and gave me updates. She's very pleasant and I think Cadence enjoyed her day at her house. Would definitely recommend Marisol to anyone in the neighborhood!
Hera was an INCREDIBLE match for my dog. My booking was very short but last minute, and she managed it with ease. Luna has severe anxiety, which can make her difficult for inexperienced sitters, but Hera took her in stride and I felt safe leaving my soul-dog in her care :) Communication was excellent and I received several photo updates, so I would highly recommend Hera to other dog owners!
