5. Sara M.

“We left our lab with Sara for half a day so we could attend a nearby wedding, and she was so great with him! He's super energetic, and she was so patient with him and took him on long walks and played with him! She was also so helpfully flexible about the pickup time, because we couldn't really pinpoint it in advance. Would definitely go back if we're in the area!”




6. Morgan F.


“I was worried leaving my 8 week puppy in a new environment when he didn’t know his own yet but Morgan helped him feel right at home and got him eating. She has a great yard and home for caring for your dog and you can rest assured they’ll be in great hands!!”

8. Hannelie R.
About: Your dog becomes part of my household, which already includes a Border Collie and Jack Russel. I would not crate any dog unless absolutely required for short periods. Therefore I need to meet the dogs before commitment to ensure they are friendly and fit in for a visit. I am running my own farm business and is at home almost all the time, taking care of animals is my day-to-day activity. I only take in 1 or 2 animals at a time and already spend a lot of time walking and playing with my own dogs, adding 1-2 additional is part of the daily activities. I have 2 dogs already, they are never crated (since initial house training). I would not expect to crate any visiting dog either, unless there are specific circumstances raised by owner or if dog is destructive in the house when running free. I am the only carer for visiting dogs. While there are other people in household, I will be the sole carer and only person signing up with Rover.


9. Angel & Mark S.

“We were visiting from out of state and last minute needed to make arrangements for a daycare stay for our pup. Angel and Mark were easy to get ahold of and took wonderful care of our pup for the day. If we’re in town again we will absolutely use Angel and Mark again.”


10. Gabrielle M.
“I net Gabrielle several months ago. She is amazing with my Belgian Malanois, a breed that is known for being unfriendly. She careful with my pup, and always handles her carefully. She places the dogs in crates fit to her vehicle for safe transport. It's always a pleasure sign business with Gabrielle, and she also gives my dog an amazing bath before bringing her home. My pup seems very happy with Gabrielle and I think that she will be an amazing asset to Rover. Carla M. Harris”


11. Alexis A.

“Absolutely wonderful person and my pup LOVES her! He is a fairly big dog (German Shepard) and she was great with him. He has a very nice space to run around and play, and I can tell by his excitement and body language that he feels comfortable there. 10/10 would book again!”


12. Christine D.
“Christine and her husband are extremely trustworthy and loving pet owners and caretakers! Christine took very good care of my dog, showered her with love, pets, and kisses! I highly recommend this loving couple for your pet care needs!”


13. Julia W.

“Julia was absolutely phenomenal with my puppy. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day and took her out as needed. I would absolutely book her again! Thank you!”


14. Mariangeles S.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, starting with owning pets throughout my childhood until the age of 12. While I haven’t had pets of my own since then, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages for family and friends. From small breeds like dachshunds to larger ones like pit bulls and rottweilers, I’ve cared for a variety of personalities and needs. I’m familiar with the energy and attention required for puppies and young dogs, providing plenty of physical activity and stimulation. Recently, I cared for an elderly dog who needed daily medication and extra safety precautions around stairs due to mobility challenges. I own a home with a large backyard, perfect for dogs to explore, play, and run to their hearts’ content. I also have experience walking dogs and ensuring they get the exercise they need. I can provide all essentials while I care for your dog, including a bed, toys, food and water bowls, and even a leash if needed. I do not supply food, snacks, or collar/harness due to each dog's unique needs. If your dog requires crating, the crate will need to be provided with instructions and practice of the process and routine your dog has for crating. My goal is to offer your pet a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel right at home. I prioritize the safety and comfort of every dog in my care. To ensure a calm and secure environment, I only board one dog or a set of dogs from the same family at a time. This policy helps me provide individualized attention and prevents potential stress or conflicts between unfamiliar dogs. If you have multiple dogs from the same household who are already accustomed to each other, I’ll gladly accommodate them together. As a business owner who works entirely from home, I have the flexibility to provide dedicated, around-the-clock care for your dog. My adaptable schedule allows me to take walks, play, feed, and handle any other pet care duties as needed throughout the day. Your dog will never be left unattended for long, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve at all times. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe and engaging environment tailored to their needs. I own a half-acre property, perfect for walks and playtime, but as it’s not fenced, I ensure your dog’s safety by keeping them on a leash while outdoors. This allows them to enjoy the space while staying secure. If your dog requires crating, I ask that you provide the crate along with clear instructions and details about their unique crating routine. I’ll follow your dog’s established process to ensure they feel comfortable and maintain their routine while in my care. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I do not have any other animals in my home, and do not board/ care for multiple dogs at a time.


15. Savana J.
About: I am a loving, caring, fun person. I love the outdoors and enjoy going on hikes in my free time. I also have animals of my own. 2 dogs, cats chickens and sheep. I am currently enrolled in school online, but my schedule is free for any days an any times as i work at my own pace. I take Pets out every 1-2 hours and feed as owners tell me too. I like training the dogs in my free time and always make sure they are happy and content in my home.


16. Jennifer P.

“Jennifer was great with my dog. He got lots of exercise and was able to be social with other dogs. It was a 3 day booking and he was excited to see her after the first day. Great care and super nice lady.”


17. Monica R.
“Monica is an outstanding pet caregiver who truly excels in her ability to care for animals. Her experience and attention to detail are evident in everything she does. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, managing medication, or making sure pets get plenty of exercise and playtime, Monica handles it all with ease. She has a calm, reassuring presence that makes animals feel comfortable and loved. You can trust her to go above and beyond to meet your pet's unique needs, and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”


18. Rebecca L.


“We love her and our puppy does too! Will definitely be using Rebecca again.”


19. Jennifer C.
“Jen is truly a dog whisperer! She’s energetic, sweet, and incredibly knowledgeable about dogs. My pup absolutely adores her and comes back happy and calm after every walk. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker—she’s amazing!”


20. Elizabeth S.
About: As a professional dog trainer, I have a deep understanding of canine body language and behavior, allowing me to tailor your dog’s stay to their unique personality and needs. Whether they love playtime, prefer quiet snuggles, or need extra structure, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Every dog is different, and I customize my care to what works best for them! I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My life revolves around dogs 24/7, with most of my work consisting of Zoom meetings and training sessions. If I do leave, it’s only for 1-2 hours max—but even then, I have a live video camera set up so I can keep an eye on your pup. It even lets me talk to them and dispense treats! Whether they need playtime, enrichment, or a cozy spot to relax, they’ll always have the care and attention they deserve. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their unique needs. Whether they love to play, relax, or enjoy the outdoors, I adjust their stay to what makes them happiest. In my home, your pup will enjoy: • Dog-Friendly Lake Access – I live on a dog-friendly lake, and during the warmer months, I can even take your pup swimming if that’s something they enjoy! • Constant Companionship – I work from home, so they’re rarely alone. • Live Video Monitoring – If I step out for a short time (1-2 hours max), I have a camera that lets me check in, talk to them, and even give treats. • Crate-Free Environment – Your dog can enjoy their stay without the need for a crate, as I have a dog-proofed home that keeps them safe while preventing them from getting into anything they shouldn’t. • Personalized Care – I understand canine body language and behavior, ensuring their routine fits their personality and comfort level. • Daily Enrichment – Playtime, mental stimulation, and structured activities to keep them engaged. • Cozy & Safe Environment – Whether they prefer a quiet nap spot or an active day, I create a space where they feel at home. Every dog is different, and I make sure their stay is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible!
