About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Canada. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.

“Marcy was amazing! Very punctual. She gave me an awesome update on Rosie with lots of photos of their time together!! I will definitely use Marcy again. ?”


“Alaina was fabulous! I am so so lucky we found her! Our cat needs medication, including an injection, twice daily. This can be intimidating to take on, but Alaina was so willing to learn and did great with them! Even when it took a little longer than expected she was patient, stuck to it, and persevered. I am so happy that we have her available to us going forward and have already rebooked for next month!”


“Taylor did a wonderful job caring for our three cats, lizard and fish. She sent pictures each day and everything was great when we got home. She gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were gone. We had a flight cancellation and she agreed to keep watching the pets longer than originally planned.”


About: I have experience with deaf, senior and reactive dogs as well as cats. I fostered and trained for Blue River Pet Rescue and have taken dog safety courses with Nebraska Humane Society. I know what it's like to have a scared or sick dog and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them when you can't. I am no stranger to a special needs dog and I want to be that person for you and your pet when you need me. My own dog, who passed in April 2025, had CHF and I could barely stand to let him out of my sight. I was lucky that the people who fostered him offered to watch him when needed. Without them, I'm not sure how I would've found someone I could really trust to be patient and kind to him. Now that he's gone, I want to be able to be that person for others. I work completely remote, so I am always home, giving me a great opportunity to care for special needs animals or just animals in general. I work Mon-Fri, 12-8 and weekends are usually free. I live close to a dog park that I took my previous foster to every day and have a nice neighborhood for walks. I have a yard (not fully fenced in) with a tie out leash, though I go outside often and would never leave your pet alone. I got the tie out recently for my foster to help her with separation anxiety but would walk around the yard and area with my own dog for a few minutes every hour or so. I have lots of toys and keep a pet water fountain running at all times. I keep a couple of dog beds throughout the house, so there is always somewhere soft and comfortable to lay down, whether they want to stay close by or would prefer some space. My house is their house while they're here. Besides the trash cans, they are welcome to explore.

“Ashley is lovely! She is punctual, respectful, friendly, & absolutely loves our pup! She has done everything we’ve asked of her and is very helpful. Highly recommend her 😊”



“Meeting with Hannah prior to leaving on vacation gave me confidence that my two cats would be just fine while I was away. Upon my return, the cats were calm and acted as though I hadn't even been away from home which is a thumbs up for Hannah's care.”


About: As cliche as it sounds, taking care of pets isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds – from snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs of all sizes, to fish and cats, including elderly pets.🐶🐍🐰🐢🐱 I’ve been there for potty training, administering medication, grooming, scheduled feedings, and maintaining teeth hygiene. To me, animals are pure and down-to-earth, and deserve the same respect ❤️ I don’t do this just for the money – I do it because I genuinely care about animals. I’ve heard too many sad stories about boarding pets somewhere, not getting the care they deserve, and the excessive costs involved, and I want to change that. This home is as much theirs as it is mine. I offer a six-foot fully gated yard, big enough for several animals to bask in the sun or play with toys.🌤️ I have several dog beds (and furniture) with enough space to care for your babies. Even the smaller critters or pets that aren’t cats and dogs! I recently used Rover myself and was initially skeptical, worried, and just overall leery about the situation. 😅But it turned out to be a wonderful experience, and now I want others to have the same peace of mind and enjoyment. I want pet owners to feel confident that their animals are in good hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their own vacation, knowing their pets are having a great time too.☺️ And if I could, I’d give myself five out of five stars, rated highly by Forbes ⭐️for providing top notch safety and security to help ease your pet’s separation from you while you’re away. Don’t hesitate to text me on any questions, concerns, or just to chat about your pets. It’s a big decision to make who you can trust your animals with, and I am happy to help 🫶 The question is how do I fit pet care into my routine- but I don’t “fit it” into my routine. I follow my animals routine, and what they need to be their best self. I am make it a priority on managing potty breaks, feedings, treats, and everything in between. It especially helps that I am home most of my days, and wouldn’t mind more company ☺️ It’s not that I just want to “provide care.” I feel like anyone could do that, but it’s more of bonding with that animal. It’s learning their needs, routine, and having patience with them. My goal is for them to not view me as a complete stranger, and more as a good friend to have 💕With that being said- I would love to take your dog on a walk, feed them, grooming, playing, and giving all the love they deserve! If there is good communication and understanding, I would be happy to help with proper medication or medical needs as well 🩷

Sunset Acres pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley & Kyle take great care of my cars and send lots of fun photos and updates while I’m away. Highly recommend them!

Leanne was great with our dogs. I was a first time Rover user and I was super nervous. Leanne took a lot of time to go over things with us and re assured us. I will 100% be using her services again. We didn’t know Leanne before this, but I’m going to give her credit where credit is due! Thanks LeAnne!

Alaina was so professional and helpful! She gave detailed updates and made sure we were up to date on what was happening with our cats. She administered medication well which was a huge help since we have a medically complex cat. We will continue to use her for visits in the future!

My cat was very well taken care of! She kept me updated with pictures the whole time and I never felt worried about if she was comfortable. My cat usually doesn’t like people much but she loved Abby!

Rachel did drop in visits for my two cats and did amazing. I was nervous to leave my cats but she kept me updated and took great care of them!

Kylie is great with Queso! I can tell by his expression in the visit photos she sends me he is happy and glad to see her. I highly recommend Kylie!!

Trish was dependable & kept our cat comfortable & fed. Did not worry about him at al!. I highly recommend Trish to care for your pet!

Meeting with Hannah prior to leaving on vacation gave me confidence that my two cats would be just fine while I was away. Upon my return, the cats were calm and acted as though I hadn't even been away from home which is a thumbs up for Hannah's care.

Madison sent so many updates-pictures while we were gone and Remy got lots of attention and play time in during her visits! We will absolutely use her again.

Highly recommend Megan! She was kind and patient with my shy cats, took time to meet me beforehand, and made me feel completely comfortable. I’ll definitely book her again!
