“Arlissa is THE best! My girl is a barker and she handles her wonderfully. Arlissa sends little videos throughout the stay so I can see how Valkyrie is getting along! So far Arlissa is the only Rover sitter I’ve used.I’m sure there are others that are good, but Arlissa is AWESOME!”

I thought it was really nice that he walked her and captured pictures of her with the other dogs and playing with him. I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying about her! Thank you, we will be back!!”

8. Katherine L.


“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”

She has raised and taken care of animals her entire life and I have personally witnessed her kind and caring disposition of all animals in her care.”


11. Brooke C.

“Highly recommend Daphne. It was the first time leaving our puppy and Daphne and her family were great and so welcoming from the meet and greet to final pick up.

18. Morgan C.
About: I have always been around animals growing up! My first ever job when I was 10, was caring for my family friends dog. As soon as I got off the school bus I would walk a couple miles to their home to walk, feed and play with their dog. I work a 9-6 job as an Education Support Specialist at a local Early Learning Center. I get a long lunch break and spend that time going home. I’m also in the Army National Guard but constantly keep my schedule on here updated! All of my family is local so I am home for all the holidays as well. I am a home body so I love chilling with animals at my own home. I also enjoy going on long walks to get my steps in!




19. Lois M.

“Benny LOVES going to Lois' house for both boarding and daycare. Lois and John are so caring and welcoming of him. He gets very excited just walking up to their door! I can tell they really love dogs. He has a great time playing with their dog Max, and is worn out by the end of the day!”

About: We’ve had dogs of all sizes in our home since I can remember. And I’ve raised a few of my own along with 2 cats I am available all week. I can check in on your pets and let them out and feed them according to your routine. I will also walk your pets. I can also board and host daily care of multiple pets. You can leave me any detailed instructions on how you’d like your pet cared for. I’ll come in and take them out into the yard to do their business, or change their pads/clean up cat litter and clean any messes they may have left. If they need to be fed I’ll give them food and water also according to your instructions. And if they need to be walked around the neighborhood or park I can do that also. When they are in my home you can bring toys, beds, or Blankets that they feel more comfortable in, but I can provide that as well. You may bring your own food that does well for their diet.
