“KaLynn and her husband were wonderful. Last minute booking and had never use Rover before. Communication was great. We felt comfortable leaving both our pups. KaLynn provided updates and pictures and noted an issue with Sadie's eye. After consulting with me and her mom, a vet tech, she asked if she could give Sadie Benadryl to help with the itching. KaLynn even provided a couple of Benadryl upon pick up until I can get Sadie to the vet on Monday. THANK YOU for taking great care of Sadie and Tula. Would book with you again!”


“Jennifer is an amazing sitter! She was so attentive to our dogs needs and we felt so comfortable leaving him for the weekend. She updated us with pictures and messages letting us know what was happening. We will definitely be asking her to watch Ash again. I cannot recommend anyone more!”


“I left Maximus (beagle mix) at Alison for 5 days and was very happy with her care of him. Pictures were sent periodically and he seemed to have had a great time. She has a large yard where he spent his time sniffing around. When I picked him up he was happy a dog. Would definitely board Maximus again at Alison’s house.”


“Ann & Jaren are fantastic. It definitely made our trip easier knowing that our dog was in loving hands. The picture updates were a nice a touch. Ann & Jaren will be our go-to for any future travels.”


“Felix had an absolutely wonderful time with Megan! She gave him so many special activities and attention just for him. We mentioned that he because of his diet he can’t have treats, but he loves ice and they went straight to pick up ice for him, took him to the on walks and to a dog park an even had a special movie night just for Felix! And on top of all that she kept us updated with these wonderful descriptions of what their activities were an absolutely amazing pictures of him 😍 I couldn’t recommend a sitter any better than I can for Megan especially since she was willing to accommodate taking care of Felix at a very last minute request absolutely wonderful lady”


“Rick took great care of our 14yo dachshund. As a rescue, Ozzie can sometimes need extra TLC, which he absolutely received! We already have our next dogsitting scheduled.”


About: I speak dog. I am a natural born doggie mom. Dogs like me and I like them. We just get each other. I can't imagine my life without being surrounded by dogs. Twenty years ago I started up a pet care company on a fluke, just for fun, and it took off like gangbusters and grew to be the second largest pet care company in that town. Then I sold it to a single mom who had been working with me when I moved out of the area. I have started businesses from scratch and grown them using processes, systems and technology to stay organized and professional. I limit the number of dogs I care for so that they all get individualized attention. I also make sure that any dogs that join the pack are screened to make sure they are healthy and friendly with all the other dogs so everyone gets along. I have a huge doggie apartment in my home for everyone to hang out in and a large fenced in yard for them to all play in. I work from home and love being surrouned by dogs. We provide constant supervision while your dog is visiting. Someone will always be with the pack except for brief breaks to run an errand of take a potty break. I work remotely from home as a business and career coach. So, I am home all day and I have a housemate who is my assistant pack pal to make sure everyone is happy, healthy and well taken care of during their entire visit with us. Dogs in our care are never left unattended for longer than a few minutes to an hour at most. Safety and socialization are our priorities. We have designated drop off and pick up times of 7:30 am - 9am drop offs and 4 - 6 pm pick ups. We provide a large clean, safe, comfortable indoor space for dogs to play, lounge, and get lots of tummy rubs. There is also a large covered patio area and fenced in yard for pups that like to play outside and get their zoomies on. We will feed dogs according to their routine and ownders' requests. We will give approved treats to visiting pack pals on owner's approval. We provide a balanced environment and routine for pups to play or rest and relax, and make friends to supervised socialization that empowers them and builds their confidence. We welcome new pack pals into our home as if they were one of our furry family members. We don't use crates of kennels. Everyone is treated like an honored guest and given space to roam and relax in a cozy home environment. I have a whole area of my home in the basement that is designated as the pack pals play pen with a huge fenced in yard for them to play in. We have a doggie door so they can go in and out as they please. The entire doggy den is supplied with lots of comfortable dog beds and a doggy couch for dogs to nap and sleep. We don't use crates of kennels, unless a doggy parent has crate trained their dog and prefers that we crate their dog at night to sleep. Dogs are given a nice balance of a safe, clean, and comfortable indoor space to play and sleep over, as well as a fenced in dog yard and covered patio for potty breaks and play time in the sunshine. We also subscribe to a pooper scooper service that comes mutliple times per week to keep the yard clean and healthy.

“Katie and Preston were awesome with Charlie for his first stay with them! They provided daily feedback and pictures of Charlie and were very responsive with texts/message. Will definitely rebook with them!”



“Laura was AMAZING. She watched my girl overnight while I was out of town. Great communication, sent me lots of pics and updates and my dog had a great time! Her dog was a good play mate and her fenced in yard must have been a blast. Would definitely board with her again.”


“Marie was fabulous! We felt really comfortable leaving our dog Rowdy with her. She has a fenced in back yard which is wonderful for active puppies! We got lots of updates and pictures. We definitely recommend Marie!”


“Great experience. Lisa kept us up-to-date and informed daily. Really enjoyed the easy process and she asked lots of relevant questions about our pup prior to drop off. Highly recommended.”


About: Hi there! I’m Lindsay - a responsible, experienced dog owner with a calm home, a fully fenced yard, and two friendly dogs of my own who love having company. I’m new to Rover, but not new to petsitting. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for years, and I treat every guest like family. I work full-time from home, which allows me to offer consistent supervision and care during evenings and weekends - perfect for pet parents who need flexible, reliable support they can trust. My home is peaceful, pet-friendly, and designed to help dogs relax. I only host a limited number of dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, and space to decompress. Whether your dog loves fetch in the yard, long sniffy walks, or curling up on a soft bed, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the pack. I have hands-on experience with: Dogs of all sizes and temperaments Crate-trained and free-roaming dogs Feeding routines, medication schedules, and senior care Multi-dog households and managing introductions During every stay, I provide regular updates and photos so you never feel out of the loop. You’ll come home to a happy, tired, and well-cared-for dog who’s been treated like one of my own. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits within a 15-mile radius — it’s a great option for getting to know me (and for your pup to get familiar) before booking an overnight stay. I love building long-term relationships with the dogs and families I work with. Let’s set up a meet and greet - I’d love to get to know your pup and welcome them into our routine! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my day starts and ends with feeding, playtime, walks, and snuggles. I work full-time at home during the week, so I'm home in the mornings, evenings, and all weekend. That makes evenings, weekends, and holidays ideal for boarding or daycare. I only take on a small number of pets at a time to make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, calm energy, and time to decompress. Your pup will fit right into our rhythm here! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family - they have access to cozy, pet-friendly areas, a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor play, and a calm, structured environment that helps them feel at ease. I supervise all introductions carefully and only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and resident dogs. Feeding routines, medication schedules, and special needs are followed exactly as instructed, and I send regular updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or drop-ins, I approach every pet with patience, care, and clear boundaries to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well-loved.

“Morgan and her son took such great care of Eve! They gave her lots of love, play, and snuggles which is exactly what she needs! Eve looked very happy during her stay and is returning home very calm and peaceful! We will be booking with Morgan again soon!”



“Our two big labradoodles loves this place, which we call “the camp.” Lists of other dogs and open space, and we can tell how much Melissa and her crew love and care for the dogs. We are so happy to have discovered this camp for the dogs when we travel.”


About: I have always loved animals and especially enjoy taking care of dogs and cats. I provide a quiet and tranquil environment and will make your pet feel loved, safe and secure. Currently, I can keep your pet in the evenings and on the weekends. Once I retire (soon), I will expand my schedule to daytime hours on weekdays. My parents next door can help with intake or pickup if you need to bring Friday and pick up Monday. I have a fenced yard and comfortable home all ready for your sweet dog/cat. I have an adorable, senior pomeranian named Sophie, and sweet laid-back cats, who are just purrfect, and mostly stay upstairs.

Carie did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our dog, Obie, while we were in Florida. She went above and beyond by sending daily updates with thoughtful messages, adorable pictures, and even a video, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Obie clearly loved spending time with her, and it was obvious he was in excellent hands. She also did a wonderful job socializing him, helping him make a few new friends, and ensuring he stuck to his scheduled diet. We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention she gave him, it truly felt like she treated him as her own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated to watching your pet, Carie is absolutely the best choice. Highly recommend her!
