“Claire took amazing care of our four kitties while we were on vacation. She was so sweet with them and went above and beyond the basic care needs to make sure they had a good week too. We would definitely recommend working with her!”
About: I have grown up with dogs in the household while I currently do not have any dogs due to my two cats and living in a rental that doesn’t allow any more than two pets. I love dog sitting for my friends and family when they go out of town! I have worked with small to large dogs, dogs with special medication need's, dogs with behavioral issues/needs and puppies. I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anywhere between 8 AM to 7 PM depending on my work schedule it changes weekly but I’m more then flexible it fit in walks or drop in visits. My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!
“Lucy was wonderful with our cat. This was the first time we used Rover and I was a bit anxious. She was great at helping me to navigate the app and keeping us updated while we were away. She was on-time, provided updates as well as pictures daily. It was so helpful to know our cat was loved and taken care of while we were away. We have another upcoming trip and will be looking to book with Lucy again.”
About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.
“Jordana took perfect care of our high energy dogs when I reached out due to work travel! They clearly enjoyed her presence and were so happy in all of the photos. We will be using her again!”
“I really appreciated how thorough Allison was in her communication with us prior to the drop-in visit and also the note that she provided afterwards. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for dogs. I have cared for many different types, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I have also raised dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, routines, exercise, feeding, medications when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention. I’m reliable, attentive, flexible, and communicative, and I treat every dog in my care like a member of my own family. My Daily Routine Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks without them feeling like they are simply being left alone. I typically start the day with potty time, breakfast, and some attention or a walk before settling into work. Throughout the workday, I take breaks to check on the dogs, let them outside for potty breaks using a leash or tie-out, other walk as needed to give them attention, and make sure they are comfortable. They are welcome to relax near me while I work, and I can adjust my routine based on each dog’s individual needs. I do occasionally need to be away from home for work or other commitments, but I’m very flexible and plan my schedule around the dogs in my care whenever possible. I’m comfortable adjusting feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, rest time, or other routines to match what your dog is accustomed to. My goal is to provide a calm, loving home environment where your dog can feel comfortable, included, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to work with their individual personality, age, energy level, and routine. I treat every dog in my home like one of my own, while following the routine and preferences their family has established for them with love, attention and affection.
About: Welcome! Hi! I'm Laura, and I'd love to care for your dog like they're part of the family. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to run, play, sniff, and burn off energy in a safe environment. Your pup will also have the opportunity to socialize with my two friendly Old English Sheepdogs. I believe every dog deserves individual attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. Meet My Dogs 🐾 Remy (5 years old) Remy is my energetic male Old English Sheepdog. He absolutely loves meeting new people and dogs! During introductions he can get very excited, which means he may bark and pull on the leash at first. Once he's had a chance to say hello, he settles down nicely and is eager to make a new friend. 🐾 Sylvie (8 years old) Sylvie is my sweet female Old English Sheepdog who loves people. She can sometimes experience a little social anxiety when meeting unfamiliar dogs, so I always make introductions carefully. She is also afraid of children (we're actively working on building her confidence), so I ask that children give her plenty of respectful space during meet and greets. Meet & Greets I highly recommend scheduling a meet and greet before your dog's first stay. This gives everyone a chance to get acquainted, ensures your dog is comfortable with my home and dogs, and helps make the boarding experience as stress-free as possible. A note about independence: I love spending time with my guest dogs and giving them plenty of affection, playtime, and attention throughout their stay. However, I’m best suited for dogs who can also settle and relax independently. I work from home and need to be able to sleep, work, cook, and take care of things around the house without a dog continuously demanding attention, whining, barking for attention, pawing at me, or needing to follow me from room to room at all times. If your dog is a “Velcro dog” who becomes distressed or persistently vocal when they aren’t receiving direct attention, my home probably won’t be the best fit. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing on their own for periods of time while I’m elsewhere in the house. Of course, they’ll still receive lots of love and attention throughout their stay. I just need my four-legged guests to understand that sometimes it’s independent relaxation time. Late Drop-off & Pick-up Policy: A 30-minute grace period is provided. Drop-offs or pick-ups more than 30 minutes after the scheduled time will incur a $25 late fee for each hour or portion of an hour. Please notify me as soon as possible if you're running late. Optional Grooming & Care Add-Ons If you'd like your pup to go home looking and feeling their best, I also offer these optional services: - Nail grinding: $20 per dog - Bath: Starting at $30 (price varies by coat size and length) - Teeth brushing: $10 - Ear cleaning: $15 - Dematting & brushing: $30 per hour (for heavily matted or thick-coated dogs; time varies depending on coat condition) If you have any questions about my home, my dogs, or your dog's stay, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I recently got laid off. While I am actively job hunting, I will be at home regularly and can provide frequent care and potty breaks. I have a fenced-in yard and a treasure chest of toys that I can use to play with the dogs. If they're clean, then they're allowed on the furniture. If not, then they'll need to be washed in the downstairs tub.
About: I became a dog lover when I was 6 and my family got our first bulldog Rufus (best dog breed in my opinion). I’ve taken care of my own dog and friends and family members’ dogs that have come in all different breeds and sizes. I have availability all throughout the week and can accommodate whatever time works best for you. I just graduated college, so I’m doing dog care while I look for a job. I will listen to your pet’s body language to make them as comfortable as possible when meeting them and assure that they are safe and secure before leaving.
“Bella was so helpful for a last minute emergency after we had a day of cancellation!! Great communication and so helpful. Followed directions well and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: Experienced with pups of all ages from house training puppies to senior dogs. A watchful eye keeps your fur baby safe & sound in my home. I am an active retiree who loves to take walks with my dog, usually twice a day. Dogs in my care are treated as members of my family! I live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with access to a large nearby park. My friendly Scottie will provide companionship & help calm initial jitters, if any. Food & treats are provided per owner's instructions. Water is always available. Pet updates provided per your request. Regular exercise and rest periods are provided daily.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since my younger years. I currently have one dog and two cats. They are all almost 10 years old. I work remote and my availability is very flexible. I can do drop in visits throughout the day. My schedule makes me available more often to take care of your furry family member. I would love to visit your pets , feed them, take on walks or just play. Can administer medications as well. Good at trimming cats nails
“Donnelle was absolutely wonderful, especially considering we needed care on short notice! Having one high-energy Blue Heeler/Cattle Dog can be a challenge—but double that by two, and it definitely takes the right person. Donnelle handled Jep and Rooney beautifully. She gave them plenty of walks, playtime, fetch, attention, and affection, and I loved the thoughtful updates after every visit. You could tell she was actually getting to know each of their personalities and figuring out what worked best for them. Most importantly, my boys always seemed to have a smile on their faces, which gives me such peace of mind when I'm away. I would highly recommend Donnelle to anyone looking for someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring with their dogs—especially active breeds! We would absolutely love to have her back and will definitely be requesting her again. Five stars from Jep, Rooney, and me! 🐾💙”
“We really liked the meet and greet prior to Ben watching our dog. It gave us (and him) a level of comfort we appreciate. Ben was responsible and on time for the scheduled visits. When we got home it seemed like our dog Lou was comfortable and well cared for. Thanks Ben, we will be contacting you again I'm sure.”

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Savage choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
