Kiara and Alejandro took amazing care of Canelo while I was away. Canelo has a blast running around their yard with their dogs all day long, got plenty of pets and cuddles from their family. They provided me updates to let me know Canelo was getting along well and getting plenty of activity. I would absolutely love to have them take care of Canelo for any futures trips. Can’t thank them enough.

Amanda is awesome! She sent us daily pics of our furry babies just to show us that they were fine and having fun which gave us a sense of security. Amanda has the perfect setup in her home to allow the pups to have their own space and keep them safe. This is our second time leaving our pups with Amanda and we are so happy to have found her!

They were amazing with Loki. He did great with their family and their other pets. They loved him just as much as we love him if I ever needed another dog sitter I’ll definitely go back to them and I will definitely recommend them to anybody else that needs one.

Sarah was absolutely wonderful and incredibly accommodating when I needed a last-minute sitter to travel out of state for a funeral. She went above and beyond by sending daily photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She and her husband even took our fur baby out for pup cups (after asking permission), which was such a thoughtful touch. It was clear from the start that they cared for our dog as if she were their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.

About: Coming from rural Minnesota, I've been raising animals for as long as I can remember. I take pride in having the honor of caring for fur babies and treat every animal as my own. I work Monday through Friday from 9-5, so I’m available for pet care in the evenings and fully available on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you're away! I have a large fenced backyard and 3 dogs of Mt own who love having new playmates. I live right on a trail that surrounds a nearby park so walking and exercise is a breeze!

Her updates were detailed, and she sent the cutest photos during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What really impressed me was her attention to detail. She noticed little things, like when the water fountain needed refilling, that past sitters had overlooked. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend Mary Jo to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!

Kaitlyn has been very good with our puppy, letting her outside to go to the bathroom and then play with her and reward for positive behavior (her experience as a dog trainer and vet tech is a bonus!) She updates us at each visit with pictures of our puppy and gives updates on how the drop in visits went. The only reason for 4/5 stars was because there was a scheduling issue where she forgot to cancel with us on a day she wasnt able to make it last minute and the puppy went longer than usual without a potty break (although ended being fine once we got home). However, she was very apologetic about her mistake, promised to not have it happen again, and offered a discount on some of the future visits to remedy her mistake. I appreciate that she took responsibility and sought to correct it the best she could. She has been faithful on all the other visits so far, responds quickly to messages, is polite and professional and I understand that mistakes can happen on occasion so I have continued to use her and would recommend her to others!

Sharon and Michael are great people— I can tell they are passionate about dogs and they do an excellent job at watching Aurora & Loki on the days we are working long 12 hour shifts. They are fed, socialized, and having a fun time with other doggies 🐶❤️ they kept us updated with photos during their stay. Their backyard is very spacious for the doggies and they absolutely love running and playing around in their backyard when they are outside. When the doggies get home, Aurora & Loki have expelled their energy at doggie day care and will often settle into bed after getting home. A tired dog is a happy dog 🐶 thank you again Sharon & Mike!

I didn't mind, since dogs are like that, but the fact that she was up front and honest meant a lot to me.

About: I have been caring for pets for my entire life. Knowing that your baby is as important to you as mine is to me, I will care for your furry friend as I would hope someone would care for my own baby. I’m looking to build my care community and availability so I will be able to help when needed. Currently Saturday and Sunday are fully available. Monday-Friday is mostly open with a few instances where I don’t have flexibility. I will care for your fluffy friends either at your home if that is your preference, or I can offer short term stays at my home. My preference is to keep animals where they are most comfortable.

About: What sets me apart is my depth of hands-on experience caring for dogs with many different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs, reading body language, and creating a calm environment where dogs feel safe and settle in quickly. I have experience with puppies, including potty routines, crate training foundations, and helping young dogs adjust to new environments. I’m also attentive to senior dogs and those who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort and supervision. Because dogs are such a big part of my daily life, I naturally pay attention to safety, structure, and individual needs. I understand how to introduce dogs carefully to new spaces, prevent overstimulation, and maintain routines so they feel secure while their owners are away. I only accept one household at a time, which allows me to provide personalized care, close supervision, and plenty of attention. My goal is always for dogs to feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for-not just watched. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m home frequently throughout the day and dogs are already a central part of my life. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care so they aren’t left alone for long periods. I’m able to maintain feeding routines, exercise, and quiet rest time so they feel comfortable and settled. Because I only accept one household at a time, I can focus on their individual needs and make sure they receive personalized care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, structured environment where dogs can settle in and feel secure. I only accept one household of dogs at a time, which allows me to provide close supervision and individualized attention without overcrowding or unnecessary stress. I introduce dogs to new spaces gradually and pay close attention to body language, behavior, and comfort levels so I can adjust care to their needs. Dogs have access to comfortable resting areas, regular potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time in a secure space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, routines, medications, and exercise to maintain consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for during each visit, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they are away. My goal is always to create a safe, low stress experience where pets feel relaxed and owners feel complete peace of mind.

About: I love animals and being able to help you with your pet care needs. I would love spending some of that time on your canine companions or feline friend. I have owned dogs and cats with a variety of personalities and concerns and love them all. My dogs have ranged in age from one to twenty and eight pound an to eighty. Every pet is unique and special. I have watched dogs and cats off and on for friends and family for more than ten years. I have also raised small animals and reptiles. I am friendly but firm and will treat your furry friend like my own. They will get lots of love, exercise, and petting. Please give me a chance to win over your pet. I am a teacher so busy during the school year and mostly free during the summer. During the school year I am available evenings and weekends. I have two fenced yards. A small one connected to the house with a dog door and a bigger one. I have chickens who live in the bigger one during the summer. I am not currently having doggie visitors overnight as my cats don't like it.

Faelyn was very careful with introducing my shy, reluctant dog to her two dogs. My dog loved playing in the large fenced in yard with her dogs and was welcomed like one of the family. I hope to use her services again.

Sage took wonderful care of Ollie who needed a quiet, loving environment while we went to dinner and a show. She showed great sensitivity to his special needs (he is recovering from surgery), and was very reassuring and professional with us throughout the process. We will definitely call upon Sage the next time we are in Ashland.

About: i had 3 dogs in my life. 2 of the dogs i had. i had since i was born. then i adopted another dog in 2014. wanting to adopted more dogs in the future. i have dogsit before in the past 3 years before i knew about rover. i love and adore dogs. i cant imagine life without one. Dogs are everything to me. Having dogs around get me outside more and walking more. i have trained my 3 dogs. so i know a tiny bit about trainging them. I do live in an apartment in the 3rd floor on the top. If the dog needs it I can carry him/her up and down the stairs no issue at all. Make sure to take your time to read and make sure your 100% sure to want to book with me before you click book. i currently dont have a job. i would make dog sitting a part time job for right now. i have alot of time to care for a dog. i give the pet alot of play time. i give the pet bathroom breaks as much as needed. i walk the pet like an hour or 2. ill feed the pet when he or she needes it. of course ill him or her water. ill give the pet as much exercise as he or she needs. The dog must have a leash for me to watch them i would have the pet come over to my apartment. im around a place where i can take the dog on a long or short walk. the apartment im at is very pet friendly. I say you would have to bring your pet to me at my apartment.

About: Adult human with many years of pet-owning and pet-sitting experience. Have hosted 15 foster dogs and puppies in past 2 years, setting them up for success with regular exercise and clear and consistent rules. I have a good set-up for hosting both dogs and cats responsibly. Please contact with any questions. I am a stay-at-home supportive spouse, meaning I am available to treat your pets like I treat my own. My pets are spoiled. And well-behaved. For dogs - have a fenced-in yard for safe pottying. I have a friendly adult female dog - spayed, and two well-behaved cats. I have local trails available where I exercise my own dog. I can provide a crate, if desired - I do request that your dog be crate-trained and I cannot accommodate a dog with a heavy prey-drive. For cats, I have an unused bedroom set up as a private suite, that my own pets do not have access to. This room has a window and plenty of cat napping options. I live on a quiet street. I am available to give your cat as much attention as they desire.

Another wonderful week with Justin! Justin and his family take exceptional care of Felix. Cheerful communication, frequent pupdates, and what’s most reassuring: they are highly attentive to Felix himself, always noticing if he has a new lump or a weight change (realities of the geriatric doggie phase). So grateful for the care and attention Justin and his family give Felix. They tell me he’s “like part of the family”; could a dog-mom working long hours dream of anything more for her beloved old pup?! Thank you thank you to Justin and his family for the excellent care they give Felix. 10/5 stars! :)

About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including my own, family pets, and even strays. I’ve cared for dogs at all life stages—from puppies to seniors. I’ve always had a big heart for animals—they’re amazing and truly deserve our love. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I am currently stay at home wife, my schedule is pretty flexible so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your puppy. We can talk and work out on the schedule that would work best for you. I have fenced yard and two puppies to keep your fur baby company, they either play in side the house or outside depending on the weather because I consider safety first; but while they’re in the house I can keep them occupied and busy with playing, puzzle games, they can roam around the house but I always keep my eyes on them or I can create them if pet parents needed; I have camera to monitor them.

So, Monday-Friday I take my high schooler to and from school and am free to take care of people’s fur babies all day and night! I love animals and treat them as my fur babies! I spoil them with attention and make sure they are well taken care of and happy!

About: I have worked in the pet sitting world for 10 years. I have cared for all types of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice & rats, ferrets, and hamsters. I am skilled in giving pet medication for your furry friends special needs. I have worked with dogs & cats of all ages and sizes. I can provide care for puppies that will need the extra TLC of frequent potty breaks, play time and even work on some training & obedience skills. I can provide long walks, dog runs, adventure days, quick potty breaks and dedicated play sessions for your pet. For smaller pets (rabbits, guinea pigs etc) I am familiar with the special care that comes with their needs as I have small pets of my own. I am always willing to work with the client and their pets needs. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! i am currently only doing pet sitting, so i am free to attend to needs through out the day + week. please reach out for availability! Dog walking: I do my best to stick to your pets routines. If your dog is on a more structured schedule/obedience, I will keep them on that schedule. I will keep pets crated if told to do so. Walks will always start with greeting/leashing, then we head out for fun! Upon arrival back to your home, pups will get a treat, fresh water, and some love before I leave. Pet photos will be sent to the client after our walk. For house boarding & Doggy Day Care: all pets including my own dog, will always be crated upon leaving the home for their own safety. I will only allow dogs to stay in my home upon meeting the dog first, and making sure they're dog friendly and okay with cats. I prefer to keep only one other dog in my home at a time but will make exceptions for the right dogs/fit. dogs are expected to be well behaved in my home and not have destructive or aggressive habits.

Kiara and Alejandro took amazing care of Canelo while I was away. Canelo has a blast running around their yard with their dogs all day long, got plenty of pets and cuddles from their family. They provided me updates to let me know Canelo was getting along well and getting plenty of activity. I would absolutely love to have them take care of Canelo for any futures trips. Can’t thank them enough.

About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.

I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.

While we didn’t have an opportunity for a meet and greet beforehand, she kindly responded to all my questions and concerns leading up to the stay. She sent a few quick updates and a couple photos during the two week stay, and didn’t report any issues. Suzanne was playing with my dog in the yard when I came to pick her up - they both looked like they were having a great time! Working with Suzanne was fuss-free and I would happily book with her again.
