“Great experience leaving Oliver with their family. The two of them were conscientious and considerate about understanding Oliver's needs and ensuring that I felt comfortable leaving him in their care while I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Oliver with them again!”
About: What Sets Me Apart I offer more than just a standard check-in or walk—I bring a lifetime of genuine animal love combined with specialized, hands-on experience to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and completely understood. Here is what makes my care unique: Senior & Special Needs Expertise: I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, or just providing the extra patience and gentle pacing that older pets deserve, your senior companions are in incredibly safe hands. Puppy Training & Energy Management: Navigating the puppy phase requires consistent structure. I love working with young dogs to reinforce basic training, maintain potty routines, and channel all that amazing puppy energy into positive, healthy habits. Multi-Pet & Diverse Species Experience: My home is a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From handling high-energy dogs and independent cats to caring for unique exotic pets like geckos, I understand the distinct body language and routine requirements of a truly diverse range of species. When your pets are with me, they aren't just being watched—they are being treated with the same deep respect, attentiveness, and family-level care that I give to my own. Pet care isn't just a side task for me—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of my daily and weekly structure. Because my routine centers around a flexible, home-based schedule, I am able to provide the consistent, attentive, and highly reliable care that pets thrive on. Here is how I integrate dedicated pet care into my routine: A Natural Part of My Day: Managing a busy, active household means I am already completely dialed into strict daily routines. Feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and multiple potty breaks are second nature to me and easily sync with your pet's specific internal clock. Built-in Movement and Fresh Air: I value keeping active and getting outside. Daily walks and high-energy playtime aren't chores—they are highlights of my schedule that allow me to give your dog the exercise, mental stimulation, and neighborhood exploration they need. Meticulous Environmental Care: Just as I maintain high standards for my own surroundings, keeping a spotless pet environment is part of my regular weekly rhythm. Daily litter box scooping, deep-cleaning food bowls, and organizing pet areas are deeply embedded in my normal cleaning habits. Evenings and Weekends for Quality Time: When the daytime rush winds down, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to winding down, too. This is when I love providing the quiet companionship, gentle grooming, and couch cuddles that keep pets feeling safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. Because my life is set up to balance multiple priorities smoothly, your pet receives structured, dependable care without me ever having to rush their routine. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay with me, they aren't kept in isolation—they become part of a structured, lively, and highly attentive household. Seamless Integration: I run my daily business from home, which means your pet enjoys constant human presence and supervision. They are integrated right into our daily rhythm of work, play, and relaxation. A Sanctuary for All Personalities: My home is designed to accommodate different comfort levels. If your dog loves a pack environment, they will have plenty of company. If they prefer a quiet corner to decompress, I have dedicated, cozy spaces where they can rest undisturbed. A Safe, Social Environment: With experienced resident pets of my own, I am highly skilled at managing animal dynamics. Introductions are always handled slowly and safely, ensuring everyone feels secure and respected in the space. Care in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) If your pet prefers the comfort of their own walls, my priority is maintaining absolute consistency, security, and cleanliness while you are away. Flawless Routine Replication: I follow your specific instructions to the letter. Whether it’s feeding at an exact timestamp, following a precise walking route, or administering medication, I ensure your pet's internal clock and habits aren't disrupted. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect. In addition to keeping your pets happy, I ensure their environment stays pristine—handling meticulous litter box maintenance, keeping feeding areas spotless, and making sure everything looks exactly how you left it. Security and Peace of Mind: You will receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. I also keep a vigilant eye on the security of your home, ensuring doors are locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the property is secure.
“We have had Sharon watch our dog for such a longtime. We left on a week long international trip and had the peace of mind to know she was watching her. She treats my dog as her own. Sharon has loads of experience and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Sharon!!!”
“Maria and her husband were great with my pup while I was away! She was very attentive and asked lots of questions to make sure that she understood all of Noki’s needs and could keep him happy and comfortable during his stay. She was also flexible in working with me on the best times for drop off. Maria is very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos as well so that I could see he was doing well. I would be happy to have Noki stay with Maria again in the future!”
“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”
“My dogs love going to Victor’s house! I can see the happiness on their faces in the pics that he sends. Victor is highly professional and responsive. We don’t have to think twice about their safety or comfort.”
“She is the best and most caring dog watcher there is! The videos she sends about your pet the whole time you are away are so great! You should definitely choose her to care for your pet!”
“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”
“Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!”
“Cindy was awesome. She addressed the initial anxiety of Lightning , made sure he is comfortable, and sent pictures and videos . We will not hesitate having her board Lightning again.”
“Our two geriatric chihuahuas had a lovely time with Yessica, Blake, and family; we could see that they were well looked after. We will definitely book with Yessica again.”
“Jacquline was very efficient with feedback and she sent pictures of bailey enjoying her time with Jacquline family. Jacquline is kind and loves animals. She and her daughter was the perfect match for bailey while I was on vacation. I would definitely work with Jacquline again.🥰🥰”
“Joseph and his wife are amazing. My pup has the absolute best time staying with them and playing with Odin (who btw is the sweetest dog). When I drop Chewie off for a long stay, I know he will be well taken care of, and loved like he is at home. What more could you ask for?”
“Had my 5 year old Westie stay with Piero’s family for labor day weekend & had an amazing experience! Piero was communicative & provided updates throughout Summer’s stay. He also groomed her which was an added plus! Will definitely be using Piero again in the future!”
About: When I was little I struggled with finding companionship, as an individual with Asperger's syndrome, so my parents got me a dog. Through this experience, which has lasted over 20 years, I've developed the skills necessary to present myself as a well-versed caregiver (empathy, engagement, and attentiveness). You (as an owner) are your dogs best companion/ buddy and parent. I'd take high honoring fulfilling this role temporarily. I am looking forward to making many fellowships and communities along the way! This is my full time Job. I have a open schedule. please let me know what you’re dog schedule is and I will do my best to accommodate there daily routines and schedule. thank you! I have 3 dogs I take them outside about 2-3 times, also I take my Dogs out in the backyard to play also. whatever I can do to take care of your dogs or how to spend time with your dogs or look out for your dogs, i’m able to do to the best of my ability, whatever I can do to help I will.
“I cannot recommend Tatiana enough! She took the time to learn about my dog’s personality and immediately made me feel like my dog would be in great hands. She sent regular updates and photos/videos that showed my pup was not only safe but genuinely happy and cared for. It’s easy to tell that she truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and kind who will treat your dog like family, Tatiana is the one. I will absolutely be booking again!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitters! Great communication with us. They sent me photos of Theo during the week I was away and Theo returned home happy! They treated him like family! Thank you Bob and Pam!”

Thank you Patricia and family for taking great care of our doodle pup girl on short notice for the weekend! She was so excited to play with your sweet daughter in your great fenced in yard! I could tell our doodle enjoyed her time with you and your photos showed the comfort she felt with you! We are very grateful for the wonderful care you provided and how you welcomed her into your home!
Melvin and his wife are just fantastic! Our Kiko is still very hesitant around other dogs, and really hated life the one time we had to board her. So glad we found Melvin, who took care of her with compassion, and seemed as interested in her welfare as we we are. I'm sure that Kiko will be overjoyed the next time she gets to spend a vacation with the guy we are already referring to as Uncle Melvin. Book with confidence.
Minelis was absolutely amazing with Nina! She provided wonderful updates throughout the stay and even went above and beyond by practicing Nina's commands with her. Nina was so happy, calm, and relaxed the entire time. Finding a sitter who makes my fur baby feel so safe and content gives me total peace of mind. I will definitely be booking with Minelis again!
Our 1-year-old pup Boomer had an amazing stay with Lauren. She kept him happy, active, and well cared for the entire time. He got to enjoy lick mats, a 2-mile walk, several play sessions, and lots of playtime with other pups which was perfect for burning off his energy. He does have a bit of separation anxiety and I was nervous about his first Rover stay, but it is clear he was comfortable, entertained, and treated like one of her own. She sent daily updates with lots of pics and was very responsive. I really appreciated the attention and care Lauren gave him, and I would absolutely trust her with him again. Highly recommend!
Abigail helped me to understand why my dog makio is so anxious and stressed out related not used to be apart from her mom. I didnt know the anxious or stress actually hurtful to her health and Abigail found some way to help to cut makio’s stress or disract her. Abigail gave makio her favorite sweet brown cow doll. She is best !!
Jessica and Maxie were absolutely fabulous!!! Jessica did everything right. She treated Bentley as thought he was her very own. I received constant photo updates that let me know that Bentley was just fine in her loving care. I will definitely call on Jessica to keep Bentley again whether it is for overnight or multiple days. Gratefully Bernie Smalls
I couldn’t decide between 3 stars and 4 so I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Alexia seemed to do a good job with the dogs. We actually thought she would be our forever sitter being that she was close by. However, communication was difficult with Alexia. During the time the dogs was with her it took a very long time for her to get back to me on check ups. She eventually did and everything was fine but the worry it caused while I waited was concerning. My babies came back in one piece and seemed happy so I was happy. After the stay was over Alexia reached out to me with a concern. I reached back out to her multiple times but assumed at this point she was just ignoring me. I tried calling and texting with no response. I can’t address a concern if there’s no communication.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Spencerville home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Spencerville.
