Let’s Meet! Send me a message anytime to arrange a meet & greet — I’m happy to make sure you and your pets feel comfortable before booking. I wake up around 6:30-8:00 AM most days and get right to work caring for the pets. Everyone is let out in backyard, or leashed up for a walk around the block. Pets are diligently cared for. Usually this consists of at least 3 walks per day, a visit to the park, and plenty of backyard time. I spend all day with the animals, leaving only for a personal errand or visit to the store. Each animal is analyzed carefully & fit into proper schedules according to their personality, levels of energy, and socialization. I provide a secure, fenced-in yard and individual kennels for each pet’s comfort and safety. Dogs start their day around 6:30–8:00 AM with a 10 to 30-minute walk, followed by supervised backyard playtime and snacks. Kennels are used only for rest and feeding—pets spend the majority of their day active, social, and engaged. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that includes frequent park trips, light obedience training, short backyard outings or bathing. My goal is to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and enriched in a clean, well-maintained environment.

“She responded quickly and saved us from having our dogs with us all day since we had to check out of our air bnb and couldn’t leave till 5. She was super friendly and treated our dogs like her own!”

“Lauren was amazing with Woody!!! She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day, which showed Woody having a fabulous day. I know Woody is looking forward to staying with Lauren and her family again. It definitely makes my heart rest easier knowing he’s in good hands when I’m not home. ❤️”

About: Dog lover of 27 years. I'm a stay-at-home mother to 3 beautiful babies and 2 fur babies. I am a total dog enthusiast. I love all things dog and am always happy to meet and love up on new fur pups. SPOILER ALERT: All fur babies will be spoiled rotten and living their best life! I am flexible with my availability and make it easy for my clients to book with me. I always give the best possible experience that I can. I love to provide fur parents with a way to keep their fur babies healthy, active and happy while they are away. I have a fenced-in backyard and a fenced-in patio (for the pups that love to be outside and bask in the sun). My home has doggie gates in every room to keep your fur babies safe and playmates in order. I treat every dog as my own and love to see them happy and well cared for.

About: **IM BACK IN ACTION AND DECICED TO ROVER AGAIN** I grew up with dogs and even assisted in my female dog having babies twice! I have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! I treat them like I would treat family (maybe even better lol.) I work from home so I can be very flexible. I will be available any day of the week. I will only be unavailable for family or work emergencies other than planned vacations/plans. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs and 2 cats that are all extremely friendly! I am home all day so the dogs are let out anytime they need. The cats and dogs are fed twice a day. The kitty litter is changed as needed.

“Highly recommend! Our pup was in good hands with Megan and her pups - we will absolutely choose her again if we end up back in town. We appreciated the videos during his stay, too. Thanks, Megan!”

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I have 3 fur babies who are spoiled and well-loved, Mylo the Siberian Husky (2 years old), Lily the sweet mix breed rescue (6 years old), and Baxter the Dachshund Beagle rescue (7 years old) and 1 fur nephew, Rufus the Corgi (3 years old) who frequently stays with his cousins and auntie to play. We love the dog park, long walks (Mylo especially), and couch snuggles/naps. They enjoy chasing each other in the backyard and to birdwatch/neighborhood watch from the living room windows. I have experience with many breeds and all ages. Having two rescues myself I am also comfortable with rescue dogs who may need more time to warm up and trust you. I also love cats and have always had one-I just don’t currently have one. Fur babies aren’t just pets-they are family. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks, drop ins, and boarding any day of the week or weekend. I can come to you! I have a fenced yard and 3 fur babies who are dog friendly and love to play! I am happy to use crates if that is preferred. While I don’t mind your dog staying here with us, I am also able to come to your dog in your home if that is more comfortable.

About: My dad is a veterinarian so I grew up surrounded by animals. I’ve had many pets throughout the years including turtles, chickens, rabbits and more. I’ve always loved being surrounded by and caring for animals. I currently have an 11 year old boxer and a young cat. I work for myself so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule and working from home during the week. I’m available for daycare or to leave my home as needed to provide walks and care for your pets! I have a spacious, fenced in yard so there’s plenty of room to run and play. My older dog is a sweetheart and a great companion to keep your fur babies company. My cat gets along great with other animals. He lives inside and out but mostly stays out.

“I have never used a dog sitting service before so I was very nervous but Jennifer made me feel very comfortable leaving my puppy with her & he had a great time! He came home well taken care of & worn out, which was awesome. Already planning to use her services again!”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE ROBIN!! She is an incredible person. She is all about the animals. She went above and beyond for our Riley. Riley has multiple health issues including heart failure and severe separation anxiety. We didn't know what we were going to do because we were from out of state and was attending our daughers college graduation. After searching on Rover for multiple weeks with no success, my husband decided to miss the graduation to be with our dog. A few days before, I decided to check it again and there she was. She was perfect. Made me feel so at ease. We were able to go to my daughters graduation and enjoy it without worry. Robin opens her home and her heart to you and your pet. You will not be sorry using her services, experienced and has a warm personality. Not only did we have an incredible experience but we also made a friend..Thank you Robin”

About: As an experienced pet owner with a beloved dog back in Brazil, I understand the importance of reliable and caring pet sitting. While my own furry friend may be miles away, caring for pets here allows me to share my love and expertise with other animal lovers. Each pet I watch becomes an extension of my own family, providing not only companionship but also a fulfilling way to pass the time until I'm reunited with my own faithful companion. "Balancing my passion for pet sitting with my weekday schedule, I'm committed to providing top-notch care for your furry friends. While I'm in school Monday to Friday until the afternoon, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve." "Safety is paramount in my pet sitting approach. Living in a spacious house, I ensure there's ample room for pets to roam, play, and explore without feeling confined. With plenty of space and engaging activities, your furry companions can stay entertained and content, giving you peace of mind while you're away."

“Jason was great with Bowie! So glad we were able to find him in a pinch. Jason kept in great communication with us, and it was clear Bowie really enjoyed his stay.”

About: Hi! I can’t wait to be introduced to your furry friends. After many years of looking after my family and friends’ pets, I’m well prepared for various types of pet personalities. I began pet sitting on Rover in 2021, but took a break after moving and life events. I’m thrilled to get started again! I have two pets of my own: a cat named Kitty and a mini dachshund named Benji. I take pride in my love for animals and I’m excited to begin working with you to provide your furry friends a safe and loving human to look after them😊 I’m currently working remotely as an Actuarial Analyst. I can provide thorough care throughout the day at my home, or visit/drop-in to your home before work, after work, or on my lunch break. I also would be able to work from your home if that works best for you! :) I’m able to adapt to any routine requested. At my home, I have a fenced in yard that my dog, Benji, loves to sunbathe in throughout the day! I do have a friendly cat, but he’s very shy and will stay in one of his numerous hiding spots or his gated, out-of-reach area when strangers come over. At your home, I will be very respectful of your area and remain focused on your furry friends’ needs.
