About: Me and my family have ALWAYS had a dog in the house, and as soon as I graduated college, I got one of my own. A Golden Retriever by the name of Parker. He's 2 years old, and loves all dogs. Through him, I have learned a LOT about owning, caring and playing with dogs so you will have nothing to worry about! I work from home as a writer, so i have plenty of time to play and care for all dogs, as well as walk them or meet any other needs they may have! I am in a nice condo with dog elevators, and have a non fenced in are that I take my own dog. Also, if wanted, there is a dog park that I trust just around the corner. Furthermore, this condo is big enough for the both of us and they will have plenty of room to make them feel at home!

“Our dog easily warmed up with Steph the first time she met her! Steph was great and so accommodating. We agreed to an out of town trip and had to leave early and Steph, with no hesitation, accepted our booking. She really took good care of our dog, that our fur baby went home happy that day. We will use her services again in the future!”

“Mary was absolutely excellent! We have a 9 week old PWD mix breed named Chase and we were nervous to leave our pup baby with a puppy sitter. However, Mary sent pictures, never put him in a crate, took him out often for potty and snuggled him! She's wonderful and Chase will be visiting her weekly while I'm at work. Thank you Mary!!”

About: From an early age, I have shared my life with animals, learning the importance of respect, care, and love for them. With over 18 years of personal experience, I have cared for my own pets from puppyhood, providing them with attention, basic training, and the affection every dog needs to feel safe and happy. My husband also has lifelong experience caring for pets, and together we deeply understand the special bond that owners have with their dogs. We know they’re not just pets, they’re family. That’s why we treat every dog with the same dedication and love we would give to our own. We recognize that each dog has unique needs, whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a calm, mature dog needing a quiet and secure environment. We adapt to provide personalized care, ensuring your dog feels loved, protected, and well-attended during every visit or walk. Our goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your dog is in caring, experienced, and responsible hands. With us, your dog will always receive the same love and respect you give them at home. My husband and I make a dedicated, passionate pet care team, ensuring that every dog receives consistent and loving attention. I am available throughout the day, providing attentive, personalized care, while my husband joins me in the afternoons and on weekends. This flexibility allows us to offer constant companionship, fun walks, and a safe, loving environment for your dog. Together, we bring dedication, experience, and affection to make every pet feel special and happy. Safety and well being are our top priorities for every dog. In our home, we provide a warm, secure, and hazard free environment where pets can explore, play, and relax under constant supervision. We follow each owner’s recommended routines, respecting their specific rules and needs. Every dog has access to fresh water, a cozy resting space, and engaging activities tailored to their energy level and personality. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for wonderful dogs that now live with my family, giving me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Every pet we care for is treated with the same love and attention, making them feel like part of our family.

“It was our first time using a sitter for our puppy so we were understandably nervous, but Danielle was great! She met with us ahead of time and our dog got a chance to play with her adorable puppy. She was great at communicating day of and even sent us a picture to let us know how things were going. We will be using her again!”

About: 🚜Growing up on a farm in a small rural town in Texas, dogs, cats, and many other animals were a big part of my life. I got my first puppy of my very own in 2011- Bella🌈. I trained her and cared for her from a newborn pup until her passing in April 2025. Rover has been a great way to share that experience and create lasting trust between myself, pets, and pet parents. ⏰️I am home most of the day except for when I have a few walks (7am,11am,1pm,3pm,5pm) for repeat clients during the day. When I'm not at home my roommate Latrice, who is home all day, assists me with pet care in my home. 🙅‍♀️I also understand that things happen last minute sometimes, so I don't charge a fee for same day cancelations. 🌟Meet & Greets are always free! 🚗 I offer pick up/drop off services if you don't have time to bring pets to my apartment for daycare or boarding. 🧡I use positive reinforcement(treats) and negative attention (turning away to deny bad behavior such as jumping) to reward or correct pet behavior.I'm currently working on getting certified as a pet trainer through Rover.

“Our pup had a great day. She was loved on the whole time!”

“We loved working with Katey! We left our fur baby in her care and we couldn’t be happier!!! She was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in keeping us updated. It was the first time we had to leave our doggo in someone else’s care. So the texts and pictures meant a lot! :) Katey is super kind and sweet! And she has an awesome family! We have already booked her again!”

About: I have many years experience with Pets, especially dogs, but cats as well and I have always been able to help them understand how to cooperate. I use positive reinforcement and very clear communication and have been able to help them respond very quickly and understanding what is needed of them. And for me, I respect the unconditional love that they give by returning that, which creates a strong bond. I can express to them and communicate easily using cooperation rather than force. Love is foremost. I am a retired, ultrasound, technician, and I am free almost all days. I have no major commitments to children, grandchildren, etc. to interfere with my pet care routine. I am in good health able to walk even larger dogs with the understanding that they are leash trained. If they are not, I may have to spend some time training them if that is the wish of the owner, and I am well experienced in this training.. I am willing to walk your dog, let him or her out if that is their routine, feed provide water, make sure all their physical mental and emotional needs are met at the time of my visits. I will try to know and understand what they are used to and provide as much of that as possible to relieve the stress of their family being gone.

About: I've worked with multiple different breeds over the years, I used to work a few boarding facilities, pet stores, and a grooming salon! I love working with all breeds! My house is a 3 story townhouse, it’s very spacious! I have multiple gates throughout to house so pets can’t get into areas where I can’t keep an eye on them! I have extra crates if needed, and a hyper Border collie mix puppy who would be an amazing play mate for their stay! We also have a dog park that’s only a 5 minute walk from our house!! I'm currently self employed, and it's only part time! So I will have a lot of time to spend with your sweet pets and love on them! <3 At this time I an unable to provide in home boarding due to renting our home and having a pet limit and having already hit that pet limit!

About: I currently have my 6 year old cavapoo, Mr Miles and have taken care of different animals in my life (cats,birds,reptiles,fish) I understand all animals have there unique needs and that it is important to highlight them. I hope to care of your pet as best as I can, as I believe they all deserve the best :) Currently rover is my full time job so I will have PLENTY of time for your pet since I'm always home! I also like to take walks/runs to destress so taking your pet with me will be a blast! I have preventative methods of making sure your dog feels comfortable with me or in my home by gating parts of the house if need be. I have experience with very anxious dogs as well so letting them feel comfortable is key

“Erica was a great host, very responsive on text. Her house is very nice with a great fenced backyard to run around. Her two dogs got along with Ace very quickly.”

About: My husband and I have cared for our family pets since we were kids. From shih-tzu to golden retrievers to labradors. We know all dogs have very different needs. Although we currently do not have any pets, we’re grateful for all that our fur babies have taught us over the years. They’ve taught us patience, love and kindness. We’ve also learned how to train dogs. Occasionally we’ve looked after our family dogs so we understand the great sense of responsibility. At the same time it brings a great sense of joy to spend time with them. My husband and I love the outdoors. So frequent walks, hikes, or just sitting outside in the backyard is very enjoyable for us. We understand how important these fur babies are to you and how they are not just pets but more so family. Their proper care is really important to us. We look forward to meeting them! Our schedule is very convenient. My husband and I work Monday through Friday but he works from home so frequent potty breaks is not an issue. I work 5 min away and I come home during lunch so your dog would have a lot of attention during the week ☺️ On the weekends and weekday evenings they would have our full attention to play with them or take them on walks. Drop off times would have to be from anytime between 7:00 am- 8:30 am or in the evening from 5:30 pm- 10:00 pm. Weekends could be any time between 7:00 am-10:00 pm. We’re very flexible though so if you need another specific time we can work something out. We do not have a fenced backyard so please bring a leash. Please also bring your pet’s crate in case we need to step out shortly. However your pets will be free to roam anywhere around the house when we’re home. Please bring any treats, toys, food, medication, or blankets for your pets. As well as a bed for them. You do not need to bring their food bowls we have extras.
