“I was very nervous leaving my pet behind on vacation but Lucy was always in good hands with Alli. She went above and beyond. We can't thank her enough. Lucy now has a new friend. I would rate her 100 on a scale from 1 to 10.”

“Sarah did a wonderful job with our five year old Boston Terrier. It was the first time we’ve left him with someone and were nervous how he’d react. Sarah did an outstanding job keeping with his schedule and handling his anxiety (and ours). Before staying she visited twice to get everyone comfortable and learn about our dogs’ specific needs and behaviors. During her stay she sent a lot of updates and photos and even indulged us with some FaceTime calls to say hello. By the end of day 1 they were fast friends. She also left the house spotless. I’m so pleased we found Sarah and would call her again to watch out furbaby.”

Came home to happy, safe dogs and a clean house! Great Rover experience. Will be booking Claire again, without a doubt.”

About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, my love of animals started at a young age. No matter what breed or size, I will care for them like they are my own! My schedule is very flexible; I am currently home full-time and available whenever needed to meet the needs of your pet and keep your mind at ease at the same time. Like myself, I know most dogs enjoy running and by request, I don't mind taking them for a 15 minute jog. It's likely that I would get as much enjoyment out of it as your pet. Thank you so much for considering me and feel free to contact me if you have any questions that were not answered within my profile. Pet care fits naturally into my routine; it’s something I genuinely love. On weekdays, I’m available after 3:30 PM and fully open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or playtime. I make sure each pet gets focused time for attention, exercise, and care, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs or schedule. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, cozy environment with comfy spots to rest, toys to play with, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines to help them feel at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect and care.

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life. I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes, personalities and medical needs. While I have personally owned and cared for dogs as pets for most of my life, I also have 4+ years of professional dog handler and training reinforcement experience, working with herding border collies. I'd be happy to take care of your pet for you as well as provide any needed medicine or care requirements, and reinforce your behavioral training goals during my time caring for your pet! I have a day job, that requires me to work 6 to 10 hours a day on a given day, at various hours. I'm happy to give undivided attention to your pet any hour of the day that I'm not working my day job! Current work schedule Monday: 5:45a to 2p Wednesday: 3:45p to 10:30p Thursday: 3:45p to 10:30p I have a fenceless yard and we use a secured tether to allow our dogs a wide range of room in my yard to go potty and exercise in.

About: I have had my own two dogs and also have cared for friends' pets including walking, feeding, and administering medication. I have also stayed overnight to care for pets. I help care for my elderly parents so my schedule is mostly flexible. I am at church Saturday evenings from about 4-7 so I am unavailable then. I am patient with pets and upon meeting them I let them see for themselves that they can trust me by sniffing me or whatever they need to do. With my own dog I always make sure he is safe and well cared for.

About: I take the time to get to know your pet(s) but most importantly I take the time for your pet(s) to get to know me. I have worked in animal hospitals for years. I am very knowledgeable about your pets care. I've administered medications and have performed cpr a few times (all happy endings) They are safe with me I groom dogs Thursdays and Fridays. That leaves the rest of the week for hanging out with your babies! Whether it's a walk around the block, a hike in the woods or just a let out in the backyard. I got you. I care for pets in their home. It's easier for me to adapt to new surroundings then it is for pets. They like their homes

About: I have been taking care of my families dogs since I was 13 years old; including daily feedings, walks, bathing, brushing and some at home training. This has given me the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I have an open schedule from Monday - Friday. I do have a 2 year old staffordshire bull terrier mix, Daphne, so I can understand the importance of being available when needed. I always make time for feeding, walking, and playtime, in the mornings and evenings. I will follow their personalized routine with feeding, playtime, walks and any other special requirements to make sure each pet is safe and comfortable. In addition, I am available to provide updates to the owners and adjust care as requested.

About: I have had many furry and scaly family members and friends my whole life. I lived with an African Grey, Oscar, from the time I was a baby until she sadly passed when I was 14. And my brother’s cat, Bart, until he passed when I was 7. Had twins, Sampson and Delilah who were a Lab Chow mix. Delilah lived to be 15 and Sampson lived to be 17 (may they rest in peace). Three mice named Cheddar, Carmel, and Oreo. I solely took care of a plethora of fresh water fish. At one point, maintaining a tank of 6 fish of different kinds when I was in highschool. Successfully crate trained, Madi, a Beagle terrier mix at the beginning of 2023. Occasionally I get to visit my best friend, Bailey, a beagle dachshund mix at my moms house. Please inquire about my work schedule in your request so we can decide if I may be the best fit for your baby! As of October 2025: My work schedule changes on a weekly basis, I get my new schedule every Wednesday afternoon. Please be aware, sometimes I work 12 or 16 hour shifts. Currently I am working Security which can have a shifting schedule. I try to keep Tuesday through Thursday as my weekends but it is always subject to change. I am currently usually scheduled for Friday through Monday with occasional Tuesdays or Thursdays scheduled. Generally my bedtime is between 8pm and 11pm, waking up anywhere between 3am and 9:30am. I will always respond as quickly as possible. This is my gig but if I have to be at work, my boyfriend always lends a helping hand to play and take them to potty, so that your baby may have the best care. I am currently unavailable for boarding. I can, however, work house-sitting/visits into my schedule. I love taking dogs (and cats) on walks or runs. If they mess in the house I will clean it and properly dispose of waste. I clean litter boxes. I follow your house rules (and feeding schedules) to a T.

Claire took great care of Sabrina and enabled us to relax on vacation knowing she was well cared for. The house was clean, dishes washed and garbage taken out when we got home. Most of all we had a very happy dog.

Jordan was absolutely amazing watching our dogs. She gave us frequent updates on the dogs and sent several pictures throughout the week. I have a reactive dog and Jordan did absolutely excellent with him. We never had one worry the entire time we were gone. We recommend Jordan and 100% will be using her again in the future.
