“Very flexible with my last minute booking. Took wonderful care of my babies, both my older dog and brand new puppy! She was great at updating me and with photos! Definitely recommend!”


“Pat has been coming by to take my 5 month old puppy, Andy, out for the past week and give him some playtime out of the crate while I'm away at work. The pictures he sends always make my day as Andy always looks so happy for his visits! Pat always makes sure to update me with notice about what is going on so we are prepared for the next week and always keeps me in the loop for the visits. Would definitely recommend for any pet care needs!”


“This is our third time booking with Rachel and she is seriously AMAZING! Gives thorough feedback and takes great care of the kitties!! We love her and will book again in the future!”


“Kristen is amazing with my pup and has been wonderful to work with. She is on time and ensures that any anxieties I have are lessened and has been flexible and accommodating to my schedule!”


“Jen was absolutely amazing! She provided very in depth notes about our 3 pets after each visits and gave us some great pictures. My pets felt very comfortable with her and loved snuggling. I will definitely rebook with her and will recommend her to everyone!”


“Rachel did a couple last minute drop-ins for me and was even able to squeeze in a meet & greet to meet my shy pup Kiva beforehand. Despite the meet & greet, Kiva was still wary and Rachel was very patient with her as Kiva got more comfortable. Thank you Rachel, I appreciate you!”


About: I have had dogs in my family for well over 20 years. We have recently lost both our fur babies and would love to help you with your dog boarding. It's been quiet in our home and as much as we would love a new fur baby or two we are currently looking to move and I told myself no more pets until after we move! So why not help others out where we can.. I am currently unemployed and I am home Mon-Fri and always around on the weekends, my husband works a remotely 2 days a week as well and is home... Extra money right now is what we need... We are open and would love to give your dogs the extra attention while you can't be with them. I personally hate having to board ours but sometimes it has to be done. Board with us and know your best friend and family member will get that extra attention that they may not at a kennel. I am currently unemployed and working on gaining my Cottage License to be an in home baker... So I thought why not reactive our account and see what could be. I could really use some puppy love after the loss of our two over the last two years. Dogs will either be walked or can be on a lead for more area with someone outside with them. Dogs will receive a lot of attention from all of us.

“Being first-time ROVER users we did not know what to expect. As it turned out, we were both extremely happy with the operation of the ROVER app and the care that Emma provided to our 2 cats. Emma checked all the boxes and was very proactive in contacting us, sending us visit updates confirming they were fed, watered and groomed, along with many wonderful pictures. Her daily updates and pictures put us at ease and were very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to use ROVER and Emma again. Thank you, EMMA!!!”


About: Loving, reliable care — from playful pups to gentle seniors. I bring experience, compassion, and a calm presence to every visit. I also communicate closely with pet parents, sending regular updates so you always know your furry friend is in great hands. I have a flexible schedule and love making time each day to care for pets, whether it’s walks or drop-ins. It’s something I genuinely enjoy. At your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, keeping their space familiar and comfortable. I always prioritize their safety and well-being, and I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect.


“Andrea was so excellent to work with - we felt completely comfortable having her look after our cats when we went out of town for a long weekend. She was communicative, professional, and made sure that she had all of the information she needed to best care for our girls. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend you do as well!”


“Lindsey went above and beyond taking care of my 2 dogs last minute for me. She followed instructions and communicated with me throughout the day, using the Rover app check-in and sending me pics and updates. She even noticed my Pekingese, Holly, was overdo for a haircut and asked if it was ok to brush/groom her. She did an awesome job and Holly very much appreciated it! Will definitely ask Lindsey to sit again.”


“Sarah was very helpful when I needed to have a drop in sitter for the weekend. She was respectful of my apartment and followed the directions I provided perfectly. She took pictures during her visits as well which is always appreciated. She also went above and beyond and was incredibly flexible with letting me pick up and drop off the keys as my plans changed. Great experience for me and my cat!”


About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I grew up with a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Once married, my husband and I rescued two Black and Tan Coonhounds and most recently we rescued two Redbone Coonhounds. We currently have one dog, Cliff, who is a Redbone Coonhound. He is like most dogs - spoiled! We usually take three walks a day…it’s what we do and love! We have also fostered a handful of dogs for local animal rescues. I am looking forward to helping other people with their dog's needs! Thank you! I work from home except on Mondays when I go to the office. I am very fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Safety is incredibly important when it comes to pet care. We have an electric fence at home that our dog is completely trained on so he's lucky to have the freedom to come in and out as he wants. Using proper leashes and harnesses is very important to me when walking dogs in addition to always having water on hand.

“Madeline hung out with my dog for a while and she absolutely loves her! Madeline had taken care of my dog numerous of times and every time my dog acts like she doesn’t want her to leave! LILO loves Madeline and she was very patient with her. Lilo needs tons of attention and is a very active dog and Madeline did her best to make sure lilo was taken care of! Highly recommend her for your fur baby needs!”


About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet walk, I’m fully present and genuinely enjoy every moment I spend with them. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care routine fits perfectly in my recent schedule, since Im working on my own business and trying to work as a photographer. My schedule is pretty open for now. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with lots of cozy spots and zero hazards. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to routines and house rules—because consistency helps pets feel secure. I also give regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Your trust means everything to me, and I treat every pet like family.

About: I’ve taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Many friends, family members, and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets, walk them, feed, and bathe them. I currently work full-time as a physician assistant in the hospital. My schedule changes weekly, but I only work three days a week. I am free the remaining days off. In my years with dogs, I have dealt with crate trained, leash trained, fenced in yards, and much more. I am willing to follow the client schedules and adapt to each family.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals since I was a child. Family and friends trust me with looking after their beloved animals while they are on vacation or simply just away for the day. I love playing with, walking, or just giving them some extra love. I am currently working full time until about 5pm. I will be available for walks any day after 5pm. I am free on the weekends for walks at anytime of the day with a couple days notice. I will make sure if we are out to keep your dog on a leash and be aware of other animals that we might see while on our walk. I will make sure your dog will have ample amount to drink as well as time to use the restroom to eliminate the chance for dehydration and accidents in the house.
