About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I’m passionate about helping your fur babies feel comfortable and have fun! I have a super playful and kind Great Pyrenees mix that will be a great playmate for your dog. My goal is to make sure you can trust that your pup is in good hands and having a fun play date. I have an iron fences backyard. Small dogs can slip out so I can only host medium and large dogs that don’t jump the fence. I require all dogs in host in my home to get along with cats since I have 3. Also, I don’t host dogs overnight unless I have hosted them in daycare first. Safety is a priority for me when it comes to your pets and mine! I work from home most of the time and am available Tuesday's, Wednesdays and Saturdays to be home for supervised play time. Right now, I’m just available for daytime care. I have an iron fenced yard, which is good for medium to most large dogs that don’t jump fences. I have 3 cats so your pup will need to be good with cats. I also have 2 tortoises that are sometimes in the backyard. Usually dogs are interested in them at first and then they forget about them because they aren’t that exciting. I have two barking dogs that live behind me so if your dog likes to fence fight, this won’t be a good fit.
“Jennifer and her family were great with my pup during his weekend visit! She was attentive, used the suggestions I gave her to help my pup adjust to a new environment, and she sent me regular updates. A+ all around!”
“This is the 3rd time we booked Naseem's boarding services and couldn't be better. She's been great with my dog and keeping us updated by sending us Tino's pictures every day. We appreciate her very much.”
“We love Cannon and his family! I so appreciate the photos and updates and his flexibility. Even my rambunctious boy did great with his pack and family. The peace of mind that they are well taken care of is tremendous. Huge thanks from Kristina, Esther, and Gandalf!”
“I loved Gloria, and I know that Finley did as well. He was well loved by her entire family and I think he came back to me cleaner than when I dropped him off! Would use again and would recommend to others as well!”
About: 3+ years of pet-sitting experience, caring for pups of all sizes from playful puppies to gentle giants. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. WFH with a flexible schedule. Your pup gets plenty of attention, routine potty breaks, and multiple walks each day to stay happy, healthy, and cared for. Large open backyard with one friendly dog at home to keep your pup company. Small and large create available if needed. Dogs fed in separate rooms for safety.
“Valerie and her family were great hosts! Our dog had a great time with them. Valerie was very communicative and sent us updates throughout Ruby’s stay. We will definitely be using Valerie and her family again for future stays. Thank you!”
“Cindy took amazing care of my girl! This was my first time leaving her with a Rover, and she made sure to send pictures and videos. She also made sure she was eating and getting outside regularly. I am so thankful to her for the great care and will be using her in the future!”
About: I have been around dogs for 41 years and taken care of them for over 36. I've also worked with and cared for cats, goats, horses, pigs, chickens and some other exotic animals here and there. I have experience in training dogs both on and off leash with e-collars. I also have a dog and indoor/outdoor cat and have trained them to get along and perform jobs.I I am a work from home entrepreneur with 1 acre who also works with a local farm on 20 acres, so there is always plenty of space and time to take care of animals. I have a half acre fenced yard with a standard 4' fence so as long as your doggo isn't tiny or able to jump fences they'll be able to stay outside longer if they like. Otherwise I can monitor them or walk them around the property. I have en elderly dog who may play with your dog(s) or who may keep to himself. I have an outdoor cat that takes care of snakes, bugs and rodents who also comes in the house sometimes. I have access to 1 or 2 small to medium crates, &/or if you prefer to provide a crate, I can crate your dog as well. If dogs are well trained and well behaved, I also have access to a 20 acre farm in the neighborhood so we can go there for exercise.
“Jayme accepted my booking on such short notice and delivered everything promised! she was extremely communicative and kept me updated with some photos of my girl. She made me feel comfortable in knowing my child was in great hands! She obviously cares deeply about all her guests, not to mention my dog made a lot of other doggy friends and seemed in high spirits when picked up. Definitely will be booking again in the future, thank you Jayme!❤️”
About: Since childhood our home was practically a zoo! I have friends, family and coworkers who have relied on me to care for their family pets when they’ve gone out of town or in the process of moving, etc. I also have been volunteering at the local shelter fostering kittens and some puppies for about 3 years. I’m detail oriented, very loving and eager to care for your fur babies ! I currently am a stay at home mom and wife. I have lots of flexibility and a desire to care for your animals. Mostly free mornings and evenings for check ins but can do mid day check ins as well if schedule aligns. I have reliable transportation to get to and from check-ins and overnights. I also am comfortable providing medication on as needed basis. I will treat them as my own !
About: Hi. Send me a message and let me know how I can help! I have had dogs all of my life and enjoy spending time with mans best friend. I currently have one lab/pit mix and would get a dozen more if I could! I have experience with many different types of pets and I’m happy to help out with whoever you have at home. In the past I’ve cared for: rabbits, chickens, fish, turtles, cats and dogs! I work from home some days so I have the flexibility to come walk, pet, feed, potty and watch after you pup as needed through the day. You tell me what would make your pet happy and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I work only with friendly dogs. High energy is fine as that is what I have at home! I am accepting bookings for boarding, drop-ins, and house sitting.
About: I’ve been a proud Shih /doodle mom for 9 years, ever since I was 18. I’ve grown with them, learned their needs through every stage, from playful puppies to calm seniors,and truly understand how much love and attention dogs need to feel safe and happy. Because of that, I treat every dog like one of my own. I’m patient, gentle, and always tuned in to their moods, whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or quiet time. I also know how to care for senior dogs and can handle routines with medications, slower walks, and special diets. Your pup will be in loving, experienced hands with me! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I currently have open availability. Im home throughout the day, so I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles. Whether it’s daily walks, drop ins, or boarding, I’m flexible and can easily work around your pet’s needs and schedule. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and stick to the pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I provide lots of affection, keep them company, and communicate regularly with updates and pictures so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Teresa was so amazing and did so well when taking care of Kenai! She sent many updates and pictures and videos! She was very communicative about her schedule and timing of things which was helpful! She also asked questions beforehand to make sure she knew what to do or how to do things, which made it easy to trust her. Kenai came home so happy and will be excited to go back! Thanks so much Teresa!”
“Nallely is a sweetheart she cared for both my babies and they felt like they were home. She spoiled them and loved on them like her own. My babies enjoyed their time with her and look forward to spending time with her again. 🙂”
