“Just passing through and needed to leave Tobi somewhere safe for part of the day. Francie was great, exceeded expectations. Tobi loved playing with the other dt. This was our first Rover experience, but we'll be doing it again as we continue our travels.”


“I have used Shannon to care for my dogs 4 times now and every time has been great. Shannon is very accommodating and flexible, which I really like because my life is hectic. My dogs seem to love going there, they rush right in as soon as she opens the door. They are always good natured when I pick them up, which tells me that Shannon is treating them right. She sends me pictures throughout their stay and keeps me updated. I plan on using her every time I need a pet sitter. Finding someone reliable and dependable and caring is a real comfort to me when I have to leave my pets.”


About: I LOVE animals! I grew up on a farm in Arizona surrounded by dogs, chickens, cows, hamsters, and even a few ferrets and a snake! I adopted my own fur baby (an almost three year old lab, Pyrenees, Newfoundland mix🥰) a few years ago, and we are excited to be helping y’all out with your pets! I’m currently not working besides taking care of pets on Rover, so my availability is pretty open and flexible. In very few instances, I may need to request a slight changing in time frame to accommodate for my two kiddos under two (fun times! 😂 ) and dropping off/picking up my partner from his job. All things considering, life as a stay at home mom allows me to be most available for doggy day care and boardings, but if you’re fine with my sister tagging along to help with my away-from-home sittings, I can sit your house for you as well (overnights most of the time for me are a no-go, but I’m a night owl/early bird so I can come and leave early/late, and my sister is able to spend overnights as well if needed throughout most of the week. But you never know so please feel free to talk to me and we can see if we can work something out 😊). If you’re considering boarding/doggy day care, my apartments have a dog park just a short walk away from my unit, so I would be able to provide them with ample exercise, and both my kiddos and my pup LOVE and get along well with other pets. We are also conveniently located only five minutes from the airport, so you can drop them off on your way to vacation and pick them up without going too far out of your way on your way home! I have experience with most breeds, ages, and needs of dogs, and while I’m not trained in any type of CPR/first aid (nor have I ever needed to use it), I have the head knowledge. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions! Thank you for booking with me! Your pets will be well loved. 🥰 NOTICE: I NO LONGER ACCEPT PITS OR PIT MIXES TO BOARD. I HAVE HAD TOO MANY CASES WHERE A SITUATION AROSE WHERE MY DOG OR ANOTHERS’ DOG(S) HAVE BEEN PUT IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION DUE TO A PIT. AS OF NOW, I STILL ACCEPT HOUSE SITTINGS WITH PITS/PIT MIXES. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🥲 As I said, this is my only source of income, so I can cater to the needs of your pet right along with my own with practically nothing to stand in the way! 😊 I treat your pet like my own (yes, they even sleep on my bed sometimes 😂), and I honestly take even more care over yours to ensure the best experience all around. This means leashing them EVERY TIME we go outside and BEFORE any doors are opened, giving them space if needed and around other dogs (not including my own if boarding/doggy day care), etc.

“I was a little hesitant about leaving my Shepherd mix but Aaryn really made me feel at ease with my decision. She was absolutely great with Ravenna and I know from updates throughout the day that my precious girl had a fun filled day. Aaryn is extremely knowledgeable, she really enjoys what she’s doing and the animals absolutely love her. I would DEFINITELY recommend her”


“I was desperately looking for someone to take care of Jazz so I can take my mom to a reunion and she answered. My dog was very well taken care of and if I’m ever back in this area I would contact her again.”


“Rachael and Joe are wonderful! At our meet and greet they introduced our dog slowly to the pack. Rachael is very focused on the dogs' comfort and safety, and very knowledgeable about canine behaviors and needs.. After the daycare session our guy was relaxed and happy! We'll definitely be booking more doggy daycare dates!”


“Ellie is amazing 👏 My pup has so much fun playing with her friends all day and gets sooo excited in the car when she realizes where we are headed 😊 Plus Ellie makes drop off and pick up a breeze so I'm never stressed about work. I am super grateful for her!!”


“Pickup and droppoff was easy. From the beginning she handled Ace with care. Once we got home he laid down which is great because I asked if she could get some of his energy out and she definitely did. She also kept me updated throughout the day which I did appreciate. Will definitely be booking again.”


“I am very pleased Truess met us at the door greeted us with a well warm welcome we chatted for a minute she sent me pictures throughout the day telling me how Sasha was doing. It was a wonderful experience. We will definitely see her again soon. Thank you so much for caring for our baby.”


About: Hi there! I’m Lilah 🤗 - a passionate and experienced dog lover. Although I have been in the corporate world for the past 11 years, I have also provided top-notch dog sitting services sporadically for over 20 years. My goal with this career change is to find a more meaningful existence and flexibility to spend quality time with my family. I absolutely adore spending time with my furry friends 🐶 I understand that leaving your beloved pup in someone else's care can be a daunting experience, but rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness above all else, ensuring they have a pawsome time while you're away. I focus on behavioral training, socialization, and providing both you and your pup with the best experience pawsible 🐾 I am well-versed in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I am more than happy to accommodate any specific needs or preferences your pup may have. I've lived with dogs my entire life. From Huskies, to Golden Retrievers and Yorkies, I lived and/or cared for them all. I currently have a wonderfully aloof 8 year old Rottweiler, a playful 3 year old Olde English Bulldog and a cat who loves his dog brothers. I am vastly familiar with dog psychology and behavior and have learned numerous training methods in my spare time. If you're looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, knowledgeable and compassionate dog sitter, I would be more than delighted to meet you and your fur baby. Feel free to reach out so we can get to know each other better. I can't wait to become a trusted and beloved companion for your dog 🐕🦺🥳🦴 I am transitioning into the pet care business and working on my schedule. As of now I am available weekday evenings, with more availability on the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard and partially finished basement with a pet area including crates and pens. Transportation is available for fun walks in forest park.

About: Small dogs? Large dogs? Cats? I love them all. I have worked in the animal industry for years and I love it. I love both cats and dogs, could never pick between the two of them. I have had my own dog, along with my own cats. In the past I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, snakes and other reptiles so really nothing is off limits. I currently work from home, so fitting you into the daily routine and schedule is going to be a breeze! Dog needs more time? Consider in home! I take one to two dogs in home at a time as to not stress the dog(s) out! I can easily crate if needed, but I prefer the free roaming way! Im home all day for work and such, so being free and comfortable is my goal!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, I have my own dog that I love and take care of. I enjoy pets a lot. I am currently not working right focusing on school, and I am available anytime to play or take care of your dogs for boarding anytime. I have a fenced in yard, a nice basement area where I will stay with your dog or cat, and I can keep your dog crated as well if need to be.

Lilah T.
“Lilah has been incredible caring for our dogs, a 55 lb poodle and a 12 pound toy rat terrier. They are so excited when they see her and it’s clear she loves them too. She is incredibly patient with them, throwing the ball for fetch for the millionth time as they continue to bring her their damp toys, and taking them for walks. She’s also been very mindful of the high temperatures, making sure they aren’t outside for too long in the heat and that the pavement isn’t too hot on our patio. We also highly recommend Lilah for house sitting and childcare — she’s the best!”

Emily M.
“Emily has been my consistent house sitter for about 6 years now. As a Rover sitter myself with many animals, I know how hard it is to find someone that can juggle my high energy dogs as well as my special needs cats. Emily does both with ease. For the first time since independently owning animals, I feel confident enough in their care to leave on vacation knowing they are in the best of hands with Emily. She sends me updates and my animals are always happy, healthy, and in great shape when I get home. There is no one else I'd rather trust my home and pets with!”
