“This was our dog’s very first time boarding with Brittney and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She went above and beyond, we received daily pictures and kept us updated the entire time, which really put our mind at ease. Her communication was excellent, and I could tell our baby was being cared for with love and attention. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her hands. I highly recommend Brittney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring boarder, and I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Bama 🐶 had a great first time boarding stay with Kristen and her family. Kristen communicated during his stay and sent pics which eased my mind that he was doing well. He felt loved and right at home with them. I would definitely book with them again and i know he would love to come back!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“Marilyn was so wonderful! Great communicator! Our dogs had so much fun and came back happy and healthy. You can tell she loves the dogs she keeps as her own. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“This is our third time leaving our dogs with Jonathan and they really love it there! They got so excited when we pulled up to their house and they ran straight to the fabulous back yard. Highly recommend!”
“Marcie LOVED spending the week with Kelsey and her dogs. And from the pictures I could tell she was spoiled rotten and we will absolutely book her again. I am hesitant to post a review because I don’t want her all booked up when I need her!”
“Doug was very kind to us and extremely hospitable to our cocker spaniel, Charlie, while we were gone for the week. He sent daily updates and time stamps on potties/feedings/medicines, which is even more than we asked for. He gave our dog plenty of walks and stimulation, and send lots of pictures. We feel very comfortable leaving Charlie with Doug again!”
“Kimberley and her family were wonderful hosts for Bailey!!!! We had a meet and greet first, and she was very gentle with Bailey with the introduction of her other two cute pups! I really appreciated that! With the stay, she sent pictures and updated me! I really enjoyed meeting her and her family and loved that she took great care of him! She has become definitely my number 1 rover sitter!”
“We have never had a bad booking on Rover BUT Chyra is the best, BAR NONE! She provides great instructions to set expectations. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND treating a hot spot that appeared, she gave me something to read explaining my dog's behavior AND she even went to the store for us to get some extra supplies we needed. If all of that doesn't say enough, i couldn't get Chadwick to leave with me... HOW EMBARRASSING! It goes without saying that we've found our forever sitter because the icing on the top is she's :10 minutes away from us!”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“Sarah is a great sitter. She is so friendly and her communication is great. I love that she sent pictures throughout his stay so I could see how Samson was doing. I would recommend her and will definitely want her to keep him again.”

“She was very sweet and communicative. I love the detail in which she wrote her notes. My dog is very precious to me and it means a lot to have someone taken care of her who truly cared about her.”
About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs!
“Riley was so understanding, patient and communicative with us! We didn’t get to meet this time but we would absolutely use her services again. Thank you for checking in on our invisible Phillip ❤️”
“Kristen went above and beyond for our kitty who had some tummy troubles while we were away. I was confident my kitty was loved and played with while we were gone. And I appreciate the level of care she provided.”
About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.
“Sarina did an absolutely amazing job watching over my cat while I was away. Very warm person when I met her ahead of the days she’d be watching my cat, and she was great with communication and with making sure my cat was fed and happy. Highly recommend her for any of your sitting needs!”
About: I have been around, owned, and taken care of cats of all kinds, shapes, and sizes since I was 10. I adore felines and have two of my own. It is very important to me that cats are well taken care of especially when their human is out of town!!
About: I have had pets all growing up and was a lead at a vet clinic for 3+ years! I have been pet sitting for years and I absolutely love it! I am comfortable giving medications, taking care of young and senior pets, and any special requests you have. I love all animals, big or small, and would love to take care of your baby I am available for drop in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I do work, but I have a super flexible job with the option to work from home if needed! I try to cater my weekly routine into what is going to be best for your pet. My overall goal is to make sure they are as comfortable as possible and having a good time! I have friendly dogs of my own who love to play with other pets! They have a blast having friends over and a lot of times they help to make a new pet more comfortable in the new environment. They love to get up and play but are also completely happy if your pet prefers to chill! I know some pets aren’t always comfortable with new dogs right away, so I do have plenty of space to separate them and rotate them out! I can crate my dogs at any time - my number 1 goal is to make sure everybody is comfortable and happy! I would be more than happy to meet with you and your pet beforehand to talk everything over. I want you both to be as comfortable as possible!
About: I've always had a love for animals, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets when you can't be there. As a pet owner, I know that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Some pets love playtime and lots of attention, while others prefer a calm companion and a familiar routine. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience by helping your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I'm happy to provide attentive care tailored to their needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the same level of care and affection that I would want for my own pets. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member can be stressful, which is why communication is very important to me. During each visit, I'll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I'm dependable, responsible, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾💕 Skills & Qualifications: ⭐️ Can administer oral medication ⭐️ Experience caring for multiple pets ⭐️ Can provide daily exercise ⭐️ Experience with senior dogs ⭐️ Experience with puppies ⭐️ Comfortable with large dogs ⭐️ Experience with rescue dogs ⭐️ Experience with shy or nervous dogs ⭐️ Experience with high-energy dogs ⭐️ Experience with leash training/basic commands ⭐️ Experience with special feeding schedules I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week, including weekends. Whether you need regular check-ins, vacation coverage, or last-minute help, I'd love to help care for your pets! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to carefully follow all care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. During each visit, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need, including fresh water, meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or signs that something may be wrong and will communicate with you right away if I have any concerns. I know how important peace of mind is when you're trusting someone with your furry family member, so I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing during my visits. My goal is to create a positive experience for both you and your pet by providing reliable care, clear communication, and lots of love and attention every step of the way. 🐾💕
“Macie was absolutely amazing! I needed someone on very short notice after the person I originally had lined up let me down, and she was able to step in and be there for my babies when I really needed someone. She did such a great job with my dogs and sent me lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell they were well cared for and in good hands with her. I’m so thankful she was able to help us out, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”
“Ashtan was the best with my babies. She took care of them like they were her own. She was extremely patient with them since it was the first time they met her. At the end they loved her. I will definitely hire her again 😁”
“First time using rover, and I didnt have to worry about my pups at all while I was gone. She took great care of my them! She sent updates and photos and let me know of anything concerning, which I appreciate. She even dripped my faucets while I was gone, and I didnt even ask or think about that! I try not to leave my pups home alone, but if I ever have to, I'd happily trust her again! Thanks Haven!”
About: I first fell in love with cats when I was a little girl. I have a pit bull and Labrador , and the rest is history. I believe my calm demeanor puts most cats at ease, even the ones I have been told are shy around new people. Even though I grew up with dogs, cats now have a special place in my heart and I adore caring for them. I now have my own cat thanks to the Cat Distribution System named shadow
“This was our first time using Rover and Sarah was so sweet to come check in on our kitty during the holidays and even on Christmas Day. I loved getting the updates and photos of him during her visits. She made sure he got plenty of play time and was kind enough to bring in our packages for us while we were out of town! Would definitely recommend booking with her and we will likely reach out again whenever we need care in the future!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Rachel! They took amazing care of our Miniature Dachshund, Ollie, while we were in town for the Supercross race. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Ollie was happy, well-cared for, and I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, and I’m so grateful to have found Rachel. Wished we lived closer so I could continue to use her services. She has the sweetest little family too. We Highly recommend!!!”
“My babies came home fully intact! No parts missing lol! Jessica was a great host for my children. She sent updates throughout the day along with photographs. From the moment I dropped them off I was confident I had chosen the right person for the task. She is a pleasant human with a big heart. Yep, my babies came home just as I dropped them off, happy and all parts intact! Thank you Jessica!”
“Amy has been watching Greta, my very active GSP puppy, these past couple of weeks and so far it has been great. She has a dog and a toddler that gets plenty of interaction with our puppy and Greta is always happy to go back to see her new friends. I am very appreciative of Amy’s willingness to work with our busy schedules that fluctuate for drop off and pick up.”
“This Riley's first stay with Breanna and Jason and it was a big hit 😀 Riley came home happy and tired 🤗 I will say that Breanna and Jason have a very handsome Golden of their own that might have influenced Riley's attitude 😉 Both of the hoomans were kind, courteous and flexible with my plans and took time to properly introduce my Riley to their home and see that she was well cared for. We look forward to seeing Breanna and Jason and family again soon 😊”
“Kyler is an awesome dog caretaker, and is very accommodating and easy to work with, and extremely communicative throughout the entire interaction. She treated my pup like her own and kept her engaged and well taken care of for the length of her stay. I won't hesitate recommending her to others looking for a great resource for dog care, and will definitely be rescheduling for my own pup soon!”
“Lawden is amazing! Zeus loves her and loves going over to her house to play. It’s so reassuring to know my pup gets the same love and and affection and correction 😅 he would get at home. Lawden provides a safe and stimulating and social environment for Zeus and he loves going to see her!”
“I reached out to Mrs. Kim on very short notice after my dog sitter bailed on me days prior to a week long vacation I had scheduled. Mrs.Kim was very accommodating with my request. She does frequent updates and made my baby a part of her pact, and now my dog loves it there! 100% recommend Mrs. Kim and her family and will be using her again and again !”
“Doug did a great job taking care of our dog, Paisley! We were visiting family and needed a sitter in a pinch (during a holiday weekend no less) and Doug was super quick to respond and help us out. He provided nice updates with photos, and it was clear Paisley had a great time and was well taken care of. He even took the extra effort to replace her ball when she lost it the bushes while playing outside. Would definitely use Doug again.”
About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.
About: I’m the one your dog wants to stay with! Playful, I’m just as energetic as your pet😁 I love to give belly rubs 😁 I will treat your pet just like my own Im home evenings, weekends and overnights to care for your fur baby. We go for walks in the yard. Contact me if you have any questions about a schedule. I don’t house pets in crates although I do have them if needed. My home is pet friendly. It’s a safe environment. My doors are locked and I have a fenced in yard so they won’t escape.
About: I’ve always been the friend people call when they need someone to care for their pets! I’ve raised a dog from puppyhood and adopted and cared for a senior dog, so I’m comfortable with every stage of life. Over the years, I’ve been a repeat dog and cat sitter and walker for countless friends and family—including house sitting for over a month. I am also a Doctor (resident physician) at Baptist Health, so responsibility, attention to detail, and caring for others are a big part of my everyday life. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I’m home most of the day; when I do go into work, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I’m comfortable with medications and detailed care instructions, attentive to when something seems off, and calm in unexpected situations. One of my closest friends is also a veterinarian, giving me a trusted resource when needed. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat other people’s pets the way I’d want someone to treat my own. If you furry friend stays with me, they will also meet Zeus, my 10-year-old neutered pug and professional co-pet-sitter. He’s incredibly laid-back, patient, and unfazed by just about everything—I have never even heard him bark! He loves dogs and cats, has helped me host many pets over the years, and mostly just does his own thing while providing some quiet companionship. Whether you have an energetic puppy, a laid-back dog, or a cat who runs the household, I’m at your bark and call! 🐾 As I mentioned, I’m a doctor at Baptist Health. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I am at home most of the day. When I do go into work during these months, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and secure as possible, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to—feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, sleeping habits, and all their little quirks! I’m attentive and responsible, and I never take the trust of caring for someone’s pet or home lightly. If you’re hiring me to host your doggo, I live in a condo right by Railroad Park and just a block from Rotary Trail, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time throughout the day. My mom also lives only five minutes away and has a large, beautiful fenced-in yard that we can visit for some extra space to play and explore. At home, my calm senior pug Zeus is around for company but is very content to do his own thing. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and prioritize keeping their normal routine. I will also send plenty of photos and updates so you always know how they’re doing!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my mom and grandmother started the humane society in my hometown so we have always taken care of animals. I will take care of your dog like it was my own. I love all animals but especially dogs! I currently work from home so I am available to watch your dog during the day or overnight boarding. I can do drop ins or walks after 4pm. My wife is a RN so she is home 4 days a week to help watch and play with your dog also! Someone will always be available to supervise your pet and can update you with pictures through their stay! I have a fenced in yard and a dog door so they have access to come in and out as they please. I also have a big energetic German shepherd lab mix that will play with your dog all day! We have daily frisbee tosses and fetch in the backyard.

About: I have a special gift for noticing the emotions and personalities in pets that people often overlook. Whether your dog is playful, shy, independent, or simply needs a little extra love, I take the time to understand what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’ve been around dogs since the age of 7. My specialty is dogs, but I happily welcome my feline friends too! :) When your pet is with me, they’re not just being watched. I want to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and joyful during every visit—so much so that they remember me when I return! My goal is to make sure your pet has a great day, because they give us so much in return: security, joy, companionship, and unconditional love. I want them to feel that same care and connection while they’re with me. 🐾 I don’t have a full time or part time job, I don’t own any pets of my own, no kids. My only exceptions would be my personal daily task that come with general life. I do not board more than one dog at a time just to keep things safe. I also live in an apartment complex with two other roommates who are my best friends. With this set up, I can ensure both your fur baby and my roommates are comfortable.
About: I honestly enjoy dogs and cats more than most people, sorry not sorry 😆. There’s just something about the trusting love of an animal that brings joy to life/my world. I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years, first to my sweet Charlie - no longer with us; and now to our foster fail Maya. Charlie was a border collie who never ran out of energy. Like, ever 😆. Maya is a more settled gal, but she still loves a good walk/hike as long as a nap comes afterwards. I’ve also been a cat mom, and cat foster mom for over 20 years. Our Sophie & Evie keep us on our toes requesting frequent snuggles, play time, treats, and nap time in our laps 💜🐾 If it’s not already evident, I firmly believe: pets are family, and pets have rights to autonomy/boundaries with people and other animals. I fully expect pet owners to have the same standards of care for selecting someone to help with their pet as I believe they’d use to choose a babysitter for their human kiddos. I happily respect and help maintain people’s rules for their pets (but all y’all that say they can’t get on the couch need an intervention 🙃😉 I’m just saying). Let’s chat about how to help your pets live their best lives when you can’t be with them - whether that’s walks, stop in visits, boarding in my home or other care needs. I work from home and have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to do drop in visits to feed, administer meds, let dogs out, attend to cat boxes etc. and during my visits I will also provide a bit of attention and interaction for your pets if they desire it - I’m not just a run in and run back out sitter ☺️ I provide in home boarding and doggy day care at my home, where they have access to our fully fenced backyard for potty visits and playtime (weather safety dependent). I will probably only offer cat care visits to your home, as I have our 2 girls here full time as well as often having a foster kitten/cat or 2. I will be happy to cater a care plan that best suits your requirements and your cat’s needs.
“My dog, Bella, had a blast. She was happy and tired when she got home from Kellie playing with her outdoors. You will definitely be happy leaving your pet with her. Bella will be returning. Thanks Kellie.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of varying sizes beginning at age 12. Family members and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play, love on, and bathe their pets. I currently work during the day but can flexibly leave throughout the day. Once my work day is finished my afternoons and evenings are completely open to love on fur babies. I value maintaining the routine of your pets, ensuring that they feel safe and you feel comfortable knowing their sense of security will not be disrupted.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.

About: I currently have two cats so I have lots of experience with cats. I also have experience watching dogs, big or small. I’ve watched dogs on an off again for my friends and neighbors. I am very good an when it comes to strict schedules. I have experience giving medication as well. I would love to have the chance to care for you loved pets and give them just as much love as you have. I do work night shift of the weekends but I am free on weekdays all day. And I can also come during the day on weekends a couple times before I go into work. Due to me having cats at my home I will not be offering at home services because I do not want to stress your animal out as well as mine.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs most of my life, ever since I was first introduced to them at nine years old. I’ve spent the most time with American and European bloodline Great Danes — a breed I absolutely adore, though I love all dogs deeply. In 2022, I worked for a professional dog care business, where I was responsible for four European Great Danes daily — all in the same home. I walked each dog three times a day, fed them individually twice a day, and made sure they had plenty of playtime and enrichment outside of their crates. I also assisted with the birth of a litter of puppies, helping weigh them, check their temperatures, and feed them a blended diet as they grew. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. If you’re considering booking with me, feel free to text me — I’d be happy to share photos of my experience. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! 🐾 I’m currently on summer break from college which gives me complete flexibility to schedule any days needed I’m available Sun-Sat so feel free to reach out. In my home, your pet will be treated like family. I stick to a consistent feeding schedule, offer walks three times a day, and provide regular potty breaks. If allowed, I also work on basic training using treats. I make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection throughout the day. I usually let dogs roam freely, but at bedtime they’ll sleep in my room so I can keep a close, loving eye on them through the night. 🐾
About: I have had animals since I was as young as I could remember, as well as my own personal animals since age 10 or so. I love animals and have cared for my grandparents, in laws, neighbors, and more. I usually house sit for family when they are out of town which includes caring for their zoo of animals! No kids of my own so our fur babies are exactly that! ❤️🫶🏼 I currently work for an eye Doctor so we work when he works, which makes my schedule very flexible! I live continently located in Huntsville not far from much of anything so feel free to shoot me a message! I do live in a house, and a dog whom we are still trying to socialize with other dogs, and an old girl who’s 11 and not super mobile, so I do prefer your home, walk, park, etc. I would love to help out!
About: I’m a devoted animal lover who treats every animal like my own! Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Known for my reliability, patience, and big heart for furry friends, I bring positive energy and genuine care to every walk, visit or stay. I have 8 years of experience caring for pets of my friends and families…I’m open to all types of care weather it’s just a walk, need me to let them out, keep them at my place or I stay at yours! I work at UAB Hospital 3 days a week, even on days I work I can let them out before after and on my hour break! I will make any accommodations necessary for you and your animals! I live right by railroad park, so that area would be perfect for any animal to be walked in! I like by myself with no pets in my apartment.
About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home
About: I am an extremely caring and loving individual, who has owned two dogs, two cats, and dozens of other pets. Therefore I know how to accommodate whatever needs your pet might have. Having lost my oldest dog recently, being around other animals is fun and therapeutic for me as well. I am looking for work to supplement playing gigs on the weekend. Since I spend much time writing music at home, I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I have an easy going schedule being a teacher and musician. I have plenty of time to meet with your pet to attend to whatever needs they might have. I have plenty of space for pets to roam around my house. I also have a fenced in back yard where I like to spend time with my dog or friends dogs when the warmer weather is here.

Mini humans If told in advance I am usually pretty open schedule availability. Since having my own dog I am used to adapt to her needs and wants. I would care for my clients pets with same love and affection I give my own pets. I would follow the provide instructions given but also make sure we have time for treats and playtime. My love for pets we have to have some interactive time.
About: I've had animals since I was ten. I have lots of friends who work high-travel jobs, so I have years of experience taking care of their pets while they are away. I love animals and I love giving their humans the peace of mind that their best friend is safe while they are away. I'm currently working part time, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. I work M/W afternoons and Sunday mornings, but otherwise I'm available during the morning, afternoon, and evening. I sometimes substitute teach as well, so more notice is always better in terms of scheduling your pet's care. I cannot keep animals in my home at this time, but I am happy to maintain a clean, happy, and healthy environment for your pet in your home. I can offer regular walks, potty breaks, and playtimes to keep your best friend from getting lonely while you are away.

About: I've always been a dog lover ever since I got my first dog when I was younger. I like to nurture and run with dogs. I also like to play with dogs as well as (sometimes) wash them. A typical day for me with a dog would be for both of us to get familiar with each other first. Then once we get familiar, I would take the dog for a walk (if it's okay with owner) just to get some exercise in. Then come back and feed the dog. Then nurture him and relax for the rest of the day. Taking care of let's is something I love to do! I currently do this part time, but ensure I care and take care of the animals! By petting, greetings, going to their eye level, taking your time, ensuring dog and owner is comfortable. Also keep a smile on your face and be happy to see them!
About: I have had many years of pet sitting my four legged family members, minus the pay; however, I enjoyed it every moment of those amazing opportunities! All my other jobs are very flexible, in other words I am self-employed. Therefore, I am looking for all long term families to work with! We will all have plenty of outdoor space to get great exercise, plus cool indoor space to cool off on those hot, fun days! Also, I would love to take them to any dog parks.

“This was our dog’s very first time boarding with Brittney and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She went above and beyond, we received daily pictures and kept us updated the entire time, which really put our mind at ease. Her communication was excellent, and I could tell our baby was being cared for with love and attention. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her hands. I highly recommend Brittney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring boarder, and I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“Marilyn was so wonderful! Great communicator! Our dogs had so much fun and came back happy and healthy. You can tell she loves the dogs she keeps as her own. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“This is our third time leaving our dogs with Jonathan and they really love it there! They got so excited when we pulled up to their house and they ran straight to the fabulous back yard. Highly recommend!”
“Marcie LOVED spending the week with Kelsey and her dogs. And from the pictures I could tell she was spoiled rotten and we will absolutely book her again. I am hesitant to post a review because I don’t want her all booked up when I need her!”
“We have never had a bad booking on Rover BUT Chyra is the best, BAR NONE! She provides great instructions to set expectations. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND treating a hot spot that appeared, she gave me something to read explaining my dog's behavior AND she even went to the store for us to get some extra supplies we needed. If all of that doesn't say enough, i couldn't get Chadwick to leave with me... HOW EMBARRASSING! It goes without saying that we've found our forever sitter because the icing on the top is she's :10 minutes away from us!”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Finn loves Barrie so much! When we pull up to her house, he starts getting so excited and vocal. By the time we get out of the car, he is galloping up to her front door to see her. I know he has the best time every time to he visits!”
“Libby was so wonderful. Our dog is so timid with everyone and I love how much care and attention she was given. I also loved the pictures and updates. My family will be using her again.”
“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“Sansa absolutely loved her stay and has a new best friend. I was able to feel confident that she was safe and happy the entire time and loved the daily updates.”
“Shelby is the best! Ron loved hanging out with her all week. She kept us updated everyday and answered all our questions promptly. She made our first experience with Rover fantastic! Would 1000% recommend!!”
