“Priscilla is kind and bonded with my dog instantly. This is my first time using a service like this and I can't tell you what a relief it is to know my dog is loved by her as much as I do. Highly recommend.”
“I would trust my dogs with Robin every day of the week and twice on Sunday! She followed instructions specific to my dogs and was very loving and affectionate and respectful. I did not worry one single bit while I was on vacation!”
About: Hello savvy dog owners! My name is Robyn. Welcome to our beautiful, peaceful place in the hills. My husband and I have over 15 years of dog handling experience ranging from puppies to seniors. We’ve dealt with all types of issues, illnesses, medical conditions, and even unexpected emergencies. We have a ton of experience with all types of dog breeds, and we have an affinity for "bully" type dogs and less than perfect dogs. We have limited space and small groups that allow us to keep dogs together. We have found that because dogs are extremely social, they tend to cope better with stress when kept together. We have a strong interest and understanding of canine behaviors so we are able to navigate most situations. We also own calm, balanced friendly dogs who can help if you’d like your dogs to learn to socialize during their visit. We have access to a beautiful hiking trail to walk your dog if you wish during their visit as well. We will require a meet and greet before so we can introduce ourselves to your dog(s). This is a mostly cage-free environment. Dogs spend most of their time congregating with plenty of space both indoors and outdoors; however, we can accommodate dogs that get overwhelmed. Puppies and very destructive dogs will be provided and required a crate. Each dog will have their own room to sleep in every night. We will also be offering drop-ins and dog-walking if boarding or dayplay is not what you’re looking for. Drop off and pick up hours are between 7:30am-7:30pm unless other arrangements are made. We are full time, experienced dog handlers who are home all day long to spend time with your pets as needed. Your pup is with us all day long as if they were home with you. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space and activities for your dog. They have access both inside and outside all day long as needed.

About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.
About: I've been taking care of my own pets for 6+ years. I make sure pets feel loved and well-cared for, whether it's playtime, feeding, or just giving them some extra snuggles. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences, so I adapt my approach to suit their individual personalities. Devoted and loving pet caretaker available around the clock. With a very flexible schedule, I can provide frequent walks, playtime, and feeding to keep your pets happy and healthy. I have a yard for your pet to play in with supervision. I have a small dog and cat that are friendly, But they can be moved to another part of the house if you prefer.
About: I've always loved and respected animals and I've always had pets. My mom always told me I needed to have a farm when I grew up because I would bring home all sorts of animals. Currently I have a pup named Shiloh. She is a border collie mix that I rescued. We love to go on walks, hikes and car rides. She loves to go visit Grandma, get treats at Petco, play fetch and snuggle. She is my love. I also have four adorable cats who let me live in their house in return for treats, cat toys and neck rubs. They allow Shiloh also and we live happily there. For years I have taken care of family, friend's and neighbor's pets while they are on vacation or working. I really enjoy it and now I would love to take care of your fur babies!❤
“Elizabeth is a pleasure to work with and I know my Peanut is in the best hands when she visits and walks him. Her passion for caring for animals shines through in every note and picture she shares!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work fully remote for both work and school, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. This means I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and bathroom breaks without pets being left alone for long periods. I enjoy building my day around the pets I care for, whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s specific needs and maintain consistency, which I know is especially important for their comfort and wellbeing. I take safety and trust very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I closely follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules. I keep the environment clean, calm, and familiar to reduce stress for the pet. Because I work remotely, I’m able to provide frequent supervision, companionship, and timely potty breaks. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and body language and will communicate promptly with owners if I notice anything out of the ordinary. I also ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and prioritize safe, controlled walks and interactions.

“Sara walked my 2 energetic dogs and seemed so comfortable handling them. She had great communication, sending me a text about how the walk went and leaving a note at my house, which I really appreciated. It can be difficult leaving your home and pups to someone you don’t know well, and this made me feel so much more comfortable! We will definitely be booking more walks with Sara. :)”

Thomaston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Madeline was an absolute gift to our family over the holidays. Leaving my elderly dogs is never easy, especially with their medications and special routines, but she handled everything with such care, attention, and professionalism that I was able to relax and truly enjoy time away. She was incredibly thorough with their medications, made sure their meals were prepared exactly as needed, and took such thoughtful care with their walks and daily needs. It was clear she treated them like her own, checking in consistently and keeping me reassured every step of the way. I would recommend Madeline without hesitation to anyone especially those with senior pets or animals who need extra love and attention. She is reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what she does.
