“Lucas and Katherine took amazing care of our dog Cali while we were on vacation. This was the first time we've had Cali stay with someone she doesn't know and it went so smoothly. Lucas and Katherine truly treated Cali as their own dog while she was there - she got lots of love and cuddles on the couch, all of her walks and they let her sleep in bed with them!! They sent a ton of pictures that made me feel at ease and kept me up to date on their activities throughout the stay! I would absolutely recommend Lucas and Katherine and will be using their services again in the future!”

About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful fiancé. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. I'm currently making pet care my full time job. After years of training athletes, I'm opting for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through Friday and occasionally a weekend if I'm around and if it's a good fit. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes, from two Shih Tzus at the same time to a 90-pound Boxer, and now my lovable English Bulldog. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of affection while their owners are away. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for early morning and evening walks, daytime boarding for pets with light activity needs, and boarding on weekends. I'm also available for weekday care and boarding after 5 PM. Because I'm home most of the day, pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection in a calm, comfortable environment. Pets in my care are treated like family. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly English Bulldog who gets along well with other pets. I typically accept dogs under 50 lbs but am happy to care for other pets as well. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. For boarding, pets are rarely left alone for more than an hour, and I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away.

“Holly and DK have been great so far with our (sometimes needy) corgi Moose! Moose has been to daycare a few times and stayed overnight for a long weekend and he seems to enjoy and come home happy. Holly & DK are a lovely young couple who communicate quickly and thoroughly, are flexible about pick up/drop off times, and always send us a handful of cute pictures. We've also noticed they go above and beyond to return food bowls, kongs, and blankets back cleanly. We're happy we found them and look forward to having Moose stay with them in the future!”

About: Your dog will be loved while you’re away by someone who is communicative, experienced, and has handled all kinds of emergency situations. I’ve been raising guide dog puppies since 2015 and am well-versed in all things dogs. I have experience with all personalities and temperaments, basic training and exposure, administrating medicine, and basic medical care. Having helped raise over a dozen guide dog puppies, I’m experienced in all things puppy-raising including housebreaking, teaching beginner’s obedience, and manners. I’ve also worked with special needs dogs such as those with trauma, post-surgical care, and special medical administration. Pups are my favorite part of my schedule, so I’ll usually try to work around pup-times, making sure all needs are taken care of throughout the day. I often work virtually so I can check in and spend time with your pups, and like to schedule outings to be animal-friendly as much as possible, so that they can come with me. When it comes to your home, I will take your lead, and be as respectful as possible. Please show me your/your pet’s preferences and I’ll adhere to those wherever I can. I believe in building our relationship with trust and explicit communication. You are sharing your precious companions and home with me, and I cherish that so much. I will take good care of them so that you feel assured that they’re in good hands. I do have a German shepherd that is a career change from The Seeing Eye program, and a friendly and very gentle cat. They can come with me or stay at our home with my partner, depending on your preference.

About: I’m a caring, patient, and dependable pet lover who treats every pet like family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other routines your pet is used to. I pay close attention to pets during walks and playtime, ensure they have fresh water, and keep their environment clean and secure. I’m happy to follow any special instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or behavioral preferences. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll gladly send updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way! ❤️🐶

“We were very pleasantly surprised by how professional, kind, and attentive this couple was while caring for our dogs. Since we’re not from the Northeast, we were a little nervous about leaving our pups in an unfamiliar area, but they immediately put our minds at ease. They were incredibly welcoming, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands, and we’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in the area. Absolutely recommend!”

“I was beyond apprehensive leaving my dog with anyone. I am a very protective mom. I truly feel lucky finding Christian on rover.com. He is amazing with my pit bull, Nico. Unfortunately, pit bull get a bad rap and I had some difficulty trying to find a sitter. We use his service twice and the second time around, my dog Nico went into his house wagging his tail like he lived there. This gave me a sense of relief because it confirmed that Nico was comfortable. Christian made sure to update us on a daily basis with text messages, pictures and videos. He even went the extra step and bathe my dog.”

Shannon was AMAZING with our pup! She sent us pics and funny updates throughout his stay, which made me feel so comfortable knowing that he was being taken cared of. She took him on tons of walks and to the fenced in dog park. She also let him make himself comfy on her couch and bed so he was cozy. I would definitely recommend Shannon and will definitely book with her again if she is available.
