“Steve was absolutely fantastic and professional. My wife and I were new to dog sitting and usually use a boarding service when we go away. Well we ran out of time due to Thanksgiving around the corner so we reached out on Rover to find an amazing person who absolutely set our mind at ease from the moment we shook hands. Thanks Steve…. And of coarse Brady thanks you as well!!!”

“Ellie did a fantastic job of making sure my 2 kitties were taken care of while I was away for a week! She sent plenty of photos, kept the house in good shape and treated them very well!”
3. Emily W.
“Emily took great care of our two cats while we were away. She is clearly an animal lover, even our cats could tell and warmed up to her right away. She was punctual and did a great job caring for the boys. I love her updates about the visit and seeing some pictures to let me know how they were doing. Can’t wait to book with her again for upcoming trips!”

About: Trust and relax while you’re away from your pup knowing he/she is being cared for my a self proclaimed, Dog Dad! I have a one spacious fenced in back yard and open concept living space to make your dog feel right at home. Crates for overnight upon request or reasonable caution only. No kids or pets other than house trained dogs. Special arrangements can be made for dogs who need special care, please do not be afraid to voice cautionary measure needed to make your dog enjoy their stay here. Please provide enough dog food for your dogs to eat at least 2x per day. Try and bring their favorite food so they will eat it in the allotted time for breakfast and dinner as grazing is prohibited as a cautionary measure taken to deter food aggression. Dog treats and water will be provided as complimentary. Very organized and communicative. I have dogs of my own and they are all kind of trained but very socialized. I wake up around 6am and primarily work from home allowing me to provide frequent care and supervision to our doggie guests. Mac, my youngest goes to the dog park 4-5 times per week. His favorite thing to do is play with other dogs. I have a huge backyard fenced in all grass with a 6 foot vinyl fence. I would prefer to offer services at my home rather than provide visits however I will offer that service around my boarding service. While they are at my home, all somewhat house trained dogs will have access to 2 guest bedrooms with queen sized beds and pillows or dog beds on the floors. Certain dogs will be crated overnight per parent request, otherwise will roam free. All dogs eat separately at pre determined 1/2 hour time blocks to deter any food aggression. All dogs will get at least 2 -3 treats/day and will always have access to water. If you have a dog who grazes, please provide their favorite foods so they eat when fed. If your dog has special need please provide written instructions via text or letterhead at time of drop off.

About: I have cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family for years. I enjoy caring for them and giving them the attention they deserve. I currently work remotely for work one day a week. My schedule is somewhat flexible and can work closely with the schedule your pet maintains at their home. Though I work full time, I am allowed breaks and conduct visits or walks before or after work, and also during my lunch break. Weekends my availability is open and I can accommodate more easily. I have a back patio but the door does not close. I live beside the greenway trail and live a couple of feet away from the dog park if your furry pups would like some play mates. I am very open to instruction, and will treat them like my own within your household.

About: While bathing your pup may not be mine nor your fur baby’s favorite, I know that being their temporary “human” with be of utmost importance to you while you are away. While my own fur baby has developed some separation anxiety, I have become much more sensitive to the importance of routine and care in our fur baby’s lives. As I would want someone to treat my pup, I plan to treat your fur family just as such. While I work during the week, my time does open up on the weekends and my time is much more flexible then. I am in education, and if any of you may know, or weekday routines can be busy. Therefore, caring for pups on the weekend would work best. We have crates, if needed, and live off the beaten path to avoid many encounters with vehicles. Farm land surrounds us with many fritters to watch for entertainment.
12. Kristen W.
“Kristen took care of our babies while we were out of the country, she communicated very well throughout and was punctual. Everything I asked of her she did perfectly! She kept our cats fed and happy while we were gone, will definitely book her again!”
13. Caroline C.
“After booking, there was good communication in planning the drop-in visit. And Caroline did a great job with the babies. We will definitely use Caroline again.”

About: Hello! I am a work from home professional who has many years of pet boarding experience. I offer a safe, reliable environment with exceptional pet care services in my home. It is my everyday routine and life. Pets are simply family, a stress reliever and a joy to be around. Attention to detail is very important. I cater specially to their needs, provide a loving/stimulating environment, and am consistent with communication with the pet owners. I treat each pet as if they’re my own.
15. Charlton T.
“Recently my husband and I planned a trip to the mountains for the weekend and were in need for someone to care for our German Shepherd at home. We also have many cats that live at the house that would need to be fed at the same time. We contacted Charles T and he met us promptly, and we discussed how we feed our animals, where we kept the food and medication and how we interacted with each of them. During our trip, we both text each other and he would give us updates on our animals, which was imported to us in order to have an enjoyable trip knowing our animals at home we’re happy and content with us away from them. Charles T would spend time walking our dog around the property, chilling with the cats on the porch and talking to them as we always do. We believe the small details and care made a difference with our animals and an enjoyable trip not having to worry about our fur babies back home. We would highly recommend Charles T. for your pet needs. He listens and understands what you expect from him, and you will not be disappointed in his service.”

Keeping routine for the pets as much as possible.
19. Danielle M.
“Danielle is an amazing and loving dog sitter. My two rescue dogs are extremely quirky and I do not trust many sitters with them but Danielle has done a wonderful job with caring for each of their individual needs. If you are looking for a sitter who will care for your pups as if they were her own, Danielle is your girl!”
20. Robert M.
“I needed a dog sitter for a couple of hours and reached out to Rob. He responded quickly and was very courteous. I felt comfortable leaving my sweet girl in his care. She also appeared to be comfortable with Rob. I initially selected Rob because his profile stated that he was a dog trainer. I hope to have some training sessions in the near future. I'm so happy that I found a caring sitter that is very knowledgeable about dogs! Rob will be my go-to sitter from now on.”
