“Melissa was amazing with our 2 cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she snapped some great photos of them too really capturing their personalities. Great communication and gave us such peace of mind while we were away from our girls for the week. Thank you again Melissa!”

About: Hi there! My husband and I are both new to Rover due to the most recent job change. We are proud dog parents to two well-trained pups, aged 4 and 5. We’ve raised them since they were just 2 months old, and they’ve grown into playful, gentle companions. Our love for dogs runs deep, and we’d be thrilled to welcome your furry friend into our home. As a courtesy, we offer a gentle shower at the end of each boarding to keep your pup fresh and happy. I am currently working from home and I have time to play with them all day in the backyard. Training can be provided upon request I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to have your fur baby company. We also share your baby’s daily activities via videos and photos.

About: Seven years fostering dogs for three rescue organizations and one year as a Senior Yard Manager at a dog daycare, supervising care, behavior, and safety. have seven years of experience fostering dogs for three different rescue organizations and one year of experience as a Senior Yard Manager at a dog daycare, supervising dog groups, ensuring safety, and supporting daily operations. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through long neighborhood walks, active playtime, and lots of attention. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, including the bed and couch, and they can sleep in my bed or in a crate based on your preferences. I also enjoy making stuffed Kongs as an evening treat or enrichment activity if you'd like your dog to have one.

“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”

About: I am a life-long animal lover. I grew up with dogs, a cat, a rabbit and anything else I could convince my parents to house! I've been riding horses since an early age as well. Connecting with animals has always come very naturally to me. I truly enjoy caring for and loving animals. My first job, at the age of 13, was as a daily after-school dog-walker, for my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog, Winston. That 30 minutes was the highlight of my weekdays. Animals and their pet parents have been finding me ever since! :) I work in the public school system and my days end at 3:10pm. I am available most weekdays after 3:30pm for drop-in visits and walks. I also have weekend availability. I am available for house sitting throughout the entire year. My schedule and availability for walks and drop-in visits is more flexible during the summer months! During visits, I focus purely on your pet and his/her needs. Drop-ins are normally feeding, a potty break & some fresh air, playtime, water change, a treat (if that's okay by you!) and of course, lots of LOVE. I will tailor the play activities to your pets preferences and energy level for the best experience. During walks, I will remain consistent with the usual pace and route. My goal is for your pet to receive the right amount of activity & stimulation and to feel comfortable and happy in my company. I will ALWAYS make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and looked after as if he/she is my own. :)

“Erin is great at communicating! She took such wonderful care of my dog, from pickup to drop-off and all the photos in between. I will be rebooking her again and again. :)”

My clients describe me as reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy, and I take pride in always showing up as scheduled. I’d love to meet your pup and answer any questions you have. Their happiness is the whole point! I’m a recent graduate from Virginia Tech’s agricultural & applied economics masters program. I have full availability to care for your pet(s), including holidays and weekends. Safety is of utmost importance to me. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences. If necessary, I am experienced in crate training and can provide a secure and comfortable space for your dog if you prefer them to be crated while I am caring for them. I am diligent in following any specific safety instructions or guidelines you provide to ensure your pet's safety at all times.

If you request that your dog be kept off furniture, I will ensure they adhere to that rule. I will follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, playtime, or any other routines your pet requires. By maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment, I aim to reduce any stress or anxiety your pet may experience in your absence. In addition to safety, trust, and comfort, I also pay close attention to the overall environment in your home. I am mindful of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards during my stay.

About: Hi! 😊 My name is Eleanor. We accept only one client at a time! We are home full time. I have always loved dogs! I love discovering the unique personalities of every dog I meet whether it's on a walk, in my care, or at a dog adoption event. I have provided dog care for my friends and neighbors for 40+ years. I have also fostered many dogs and puppies for a local rescue group. I have experience with senior dogs and young puppies. Hi! I am home full time which means your dog will get a lot of attention and TLC. Playtime and potty: Numerous backyard time throughout the day Meal time: I typically separate the dogs during meals so they do not 'share' :) I require a meet and greet with your dog before a scheduled stay to make sure your dog gets along with my pets and feels comfortable in our home. You may want to book daycare before a longer stay so your dog gets used to our home. It is important that your dog is well behaved and is not aggressive or reactive to other dogs. Our cat keeps to himself most of the day. We live in a single family home with a fenced-in yard (6' high PVC) and 1 friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. We also have a XL crate that can be used if your dogs prefers. The cat litter is kept in a room blocked off by pet gates where only the cat will have access.

“Christine is great with my dog and he loves going on walks with her. She understands his personality and always communicates with us. Highly recommend Christine with your pets!”

About: Pets have surrounded me since I was 7, caring for everything from small to large dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. With years of experience caring for both my own pets and those of others, I've developed a deep understanding and sensitivity to their needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am dedicated to providing the best care possible! I am a recently graduated college student, so I have a very flexible schedule and am more than willing to accommodate your and your pet's needs! I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet I care for, whether in my home or my client's. In my home, I ensure that the space is pet-friendly, secure, and free of hazards, with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I follow specific instructions from pet owners, such as feeding schedules, medication, or special needs. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also take time to build trust with the pet, using a calm approach and positive reinforcement to make them feel safe and cared for. I’m attentive to their behavior and body language to promptly respond to any needs or concerns.

“Jennifer is so kind and easy to work with! I felt very comfortable leaving my two cats in her hands. Would definitely book again.”

About: Hi! My name is Amy, and I’m a rising sophomore at Boston College. I’ve lived with dogs since I was 8 years old, so caring for them has always been a part of my life. Growing up with dogs taught me how to understand their personalities, keep them safe, and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Being away at college means I don’t get to spend as much time with dogs as I’d like, which is why I’m excited to help care for yours! I look forward to giving your pup a fun, safe time and making sure you have peace of mind while they’re in my care. I am currently home for the summer, and am available and flexible. I do have some work and family events that I have blocked off on my calendar, but other than that, I am open to bookings! I have a very large, fenced in yard with a pool. In the summer, the pool is not covered, and my oldest dog loves to go swimming or take a quick step in to cool off. We have a variety of toys and dog beds in our house, and we also have two sets of dog gates.

“Leigh is amazing! She took excellent care of our two fur babies. Right off the bat on the first meet and greet, we got an excellent first impression. She was friendly and brought them homemade amazing treats! When our trip came, she was in constant contact with us and sent so many wonderful pictures. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip with the knowledge that our pups were safe and cared for. Leigh is a rockstar.”

“Nicole was great in setting up, and coming by for a drop-in for our pet. She is clearly passionate about animals and perhaps more just as importantly is a great communicator, which for me as a first time rover user was reassuring. Would definitely recommend her services. Thanks Nicole!”
