“Amazing experience. I'm so glad we found David and Jeanette. Their family home is setup perfectly for pup sitting and everyone is properly experienced with dog care. Our three dogs (aged 2-13) loved their vacation with these Rovers.”
“Cody was very well taken care of during our vacation, and came home a happy dog! It was nice to have pictures sent throughout the stay and updates on how he was adjusting to the new location (for him.) I would highly recommend Doug P. to others, and plan to use him in the future also!”
“Darylee and her family were wonderful! She sent pictures to update us on how Dash was doing. It brought us much joy/peace knowing that Dash was in great hands and having a great time running around in their large fenced-in back yard and playing with the goats. :)”
“Michelle and Steve were so easy to work with and so friendly. We were out of town and in a pinch of a sitter. They were so flexible and worked around our drop off pick up schedule. Dogs were well taken care of and had lots of fun playing with other dogs.”
“Erica did an amazing job with our dog. She made sure Cici got attention and the best of care to include administering medication as needed. She sent pictures throughout the day and was excellent at communicating. I felt like our fur baby was in great hands.”
“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“Maya did an amazing job with my little guy. She was great with sending updates and pics and made me feel confident about him being with her while I was away. I’ll definitely book her again!”
“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“Tyler took such good care of my puppy Yucca! Tyler was very responsive and flexible with the pick up and drop off. I will definitely book again. His place is like a pet resort!”
“Sarah and Shelby were awesome! Definitely recommend for any of your pet’s services. They took in our 8 month old puppy with short notice for an overnight stay. We were in town from out of state to visit family and this was our dogs first stay away from home. We were updated with pleasant photos throughout the night and they were willing to keep her until noon the next day. Their dogs Ziggy and Titan were very friendly and played well together. We will be back!”
“Erica quickly bonded with my dogs (3) and has provided excellent care. She is very caring and conscientious. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pet. Her rates are very reasonable, and she provides exceptional service. I was in a serious pinch. Erica was so quick to except my request. I’m glad with how everything worked out.”
“I am so thankful that I came across Tatyanah and Everardo here. My dog needs to have his bladder manually expressed following a spinal stroke three years ago. They agreed to learn, and they successfully did it for a long trip for me (18 days!) Tristen loves to walk and got daily walks with lots of new friends. He was healthy when I got him back. I got lots of pictures and updates. He also made new dog friends! I wasn’t worried at all during my trip, and it was such a relief to be able to travel and not worry about my dog. Thank you so much!”
“Super sweet and accommodating! We had some very last minute travel plans and we got everything handled with his help. Communicative and my little one did so good with him. Will book again if I’m in town!”
“Kevin was just the person I needed to take care of my dog while I was working out of town and my family wasn’t home to watch my dog. He has the perfect set up to keep any size dog fed, safe, and well taken care of and he has the room for a handful of dogs too! He and his kids took the time to take my dog out for walks. I will definitely reach out to him when in need again. Thanks Kevin!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“Leigh is absolutely the best dog sitter around! My 15-year-old dog does not like to be away from my family, but after a very stressful year, we needed a brief getaway. Leigh watched him with great care and attention and constantly updated us on how he was doing. I highly recommend her.”

“Neysa was a wonderful sitter! My cats loved her, and she even went to the store to pick up some food for them when my husband and I had a mix up. She's very kind and attentive.”
“Daisy took wonderful care of our two cats, Leaf and Nugget, for seven days while we were away. We reached out on fairly short notice, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. She was professional, reliable, and very kind throughout the entire week. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, which gave us great peace of mind while we were traveling. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them as if they were her own. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend Daisy to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. We look forward to having her watch Leaf and Nugget again in the future!”
About: I’ve had about 13 dogs of different breeds in my lifetime and two cats. Every animal that I’ve had in my life still carry on in my heart. I love and appreciate animals for their never ending love for us humans. Rest assured that I was responsible for all of my pets and made sure to attend to their needs in a safe manner, so my experience can be valuable when it comes to caring for other pets. I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.
“Leilani is fantastic!! I appreciate her driving pretty far to come take care of my cat who needs some very sticky medication. She is a pro at giving meds and my cat seemed very happy and content when I got home. I would highly recommend Leilani!!”
“Our first booking with Kylie went very well. She made friends with Marv right away, which is not an easy thing to do. She left the house and the liter box clean. We are very happy with Kylie and look forward to using her again. :)”
“I highly recommend Jennifer to help with your pets. we had to go to the east coast recently and was a bit nervous just having our older cat boarded. Jennifer, came twice a day to care for our cat providing updates and her status as well as pictures. We were able to keep our cat in our home and our cat was much better off for it.”
“Paris was amazing. We left our cat for a week for the first time and were very worried. She was skittish at first but Paris spent so much time making her feel comfortable that by day 2 they were best friends. Which is a lot if you know cats!!! The house looked exactly as we left it, she was very communicative and just an all around joy to have take care of our kitty. Thank you Paris! You’re the best!”
“Our very recluse cat trusted Jenilee when we were gone for a week. Jenilee was able to brush and pet her, giving us peace of mind while away. She stilled howled at us for leaving her but calmed down shortly thereafter. I worked out an alternate schedule when I met her for first visit. She was completely reliable and we loved getting pictures of her daily. I will hire her again, especially because she lives close by, given the opportunity.”
About: I've taken care of family pets for more than twelve years and had owned two chihuahuas. I can bath, walk, and play with them and keep them company. I am a travel medical assistant with open availability due to it being a slow season. I like to walk to farmers markets on Saturdays. If you have a fencing yard or crate, I can let them out for walks and for play. If you need help bathing or administering any medication, I'd be more than happy to help you.
About: I have grown up around pets especially dogs all my life. I have a sweet little dog named Taco Toast. I am looking forward to taking care of dogs and making them comfortable while their owner is away. All my friends ask me to take care of their dogs when they leave town because they know they will be in good hands. My townhouse is big, clean and comfortable. I live in Golden Hill and love it. Lots of good places to go on walks near by. My experience ranges from tiny toy dogs to large labs to over 120 pound dogs. I am happy to stay at your house as well. Also happy to check in on your pup or cat. I have experience living with cats as well and taking taking of cats when my friends have left town. I work remote from home and can be with your pup! I will change my routine to fit any needs as I can be flexible. I make sure each animal is safe and has what they need. I will communicate with you during your trip and make sure you are comfortable as well.
About: I’ve spent the last 8 years working for a prominent national pet supplies retailer and as such come equipped with a wealth of professional pet care knowledge (and of course love!) for animals of all types! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule (in office Tuesdays through Thursdays). I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and as such have the best availability on those days and weekend days. However I am open to staying in homes throughout the week and have the option to bring pets with me to the office if that’s something that interests you and works best for everyone involved. I work best with detailed care instructions but I have cared for all types of animals and am able to problem solve or figure out what’s needed in any circumstance when instructions are not provided or needed. I make the firm commitment to love your pet as if they were my own and provide that same level of care!
About: I am a very experienced pet sitter with both medical and behavioral background! Message me, anytime. I’d be happy to help! I can ensure a safe and reliable experience. I like to spend time outdoors with your pup if they can and if not I always have a good book to offer them cuddles and a peaceful napping environment I will be able to help administer medication, some grooming and anything you may need. No extra costs on top of the sitting price. Happy to help.
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, and I have 10 years of professional pet care experience. I can care for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, chickens, and rodents. I enjoy walking, watching, feeding and just generally caring for all animals. Anytime on weekends. I am also available during the day all week except for Tuesday. I take care of animals on a farm and that is taken care of at dawn and dusk. I come with plenty of poop bags, water, and healthy dog treats. I follow instructions to the letter and I make the safety of animals my priority.

“My little man Brady absolutely loved his time with Lucy and Stella. Huge thanks to Taylor and Andrew I can’t say enough good things! Being able to be absent without the stress of his well being is priceless. This was our first time using Rover and couldn’t be happier. We will absolutely be back sooner than later!”
“Kathryn & Matt Took great care of Charlie. Charlie was always excited when we pulled up to their house. They have a nice setup for your pet to play in the backyard or go on walks in a nice neighborhood.”
“What a great family we had watching our pups today! Jack and Scout had a fabulous time getting all kinds of love and attention, the enclosed backyard was fantasticly huge, and our dogs were instantly comfortable with the people and the space. Darylee and I had great communication from start to finish. This was a great experience for our first time using a Rover!”
About: Was blessed to grow up with dogs and also care for friends' and other peoples' furry family members in our community. My family has a wonderful home and property made for your doggy vacations. They can enjoy both time inside our home as well as the beautiful dog play area outside which is fully gated with coyote rollers, trees for shading, a couple sheds (one w/ AC), and fully turfed. They'll enjoy this area for playing fetch, tug of war, running around, along with just having some relaxation in the safe outdoors. Also, if they like walks, they can enjoy some of our own family walks. Since we homeschool and work from home, we are ready to provide 24 hour care while maintaining your furry family member's normal everyday routine - from when they wake up, eat, play, potty and bedtime. We love to match your normal schedule to provide them with a fun and relaxing time during their vacation at our home. Our goal is to provide a Safe, Fun, and Relaxing time for your furry family member. Whether they'll want to relax in our home or play in our beautiful and safe dog play area outside, their safety and comfort is our priority. While your furry family member is with us, they'll be treated and cared for as one of our own family members. Your furry family member gets to live life with our family as we play, do homeschool, and work all from home. We love having them in the house with us and letting them enjoy basking in the sun on the connected patio in our fully enclosed backyard, or taking them up to our Private Dog Park (steps away from our home and backyard) for another place to run around, play fetch and tug-of-war, or enjoy some shade under a couple beautiful trees. Our family of four will each care for them throughout the day - from waking up in the morning to falling asleep in the evening. From the initial Meet & Greet, we learn about your dog - their routines, how they play, how they like to be petted and scratched, how much and how often they eat and need to go potty, what time they wake up and go to sleep, medications they may need, commands and tricks they know that you'd like us to work on with them, and anything else you feel will make their time with us more relaxing and fun. We then do our best to mirror what you shared with us, so they feel safe and secure, and receive the love, care, and attention that they may need.
“Oliver enjoyed his time at Doug and Marisol’s home doggie daycare this week! I felt relieved knowing my little guy was being well-cared for while I was at work. They provided Oliver with a cozy environment and his prescription food & treats.”
“I was in a bind and needed a sitter for a few hrs for my yorkies. I have a 12 yo Sr. And a 7 mo. pup. Neither have ever stayed with a stranger. Jennifer was just down the street from my dad's house and I wasn't going to be far away from them. I gotta be honest, I was super nervous leaving them but I didn't really have another choice. Anyway, as I arrived I already felt at ease with Jennifer as a person. Then, I immediately met her daughter and felt comfortable with her as well. The introduction was quick because I was in a hurry. I already knew my Sr. was going to wait at a window for me cuz that's what he does. The window he was pictured waiting at was clean & beautifully decorated in the teenage daughter's room. To my surprise my Sr appeared to have felt comfy enough to even leave the window and wait by her side in another picture I received. Very heartwarming for me to see. I also received a photo of them going for a walk and another of my puppy receiving some love and hugs as well. Thank you for everything Jennifer! If I'm in town and in need of some pet sitting again I wouldn't hesitate to ask. 🫶🏼 Service: Pet sitting. Time: 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.”

“Odie, Bubble and Pippa just had a half-day trial day with Annie and Ty and their two girls and everything went fantastic! Annie and Ty provided plenty of photos and feedback that everyone was having a good time. They also took all three pups on a much appreciated walk. I feel very lucky to have found a home away from home that all three of my dogs eill enjoy visiting. More stays to come!”

About: For my family and me, caring for dogs isn’t a job—it’s a passion. I naturally build deep connections with my furry guests, filling their days with abundant love, hugs, and long, joyful walks. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to what your dog needs most right now. If you have a young puppy, I provide the structured care, patience, and positive reinforcement training they need to thrive. If you have a senior dog, I bring a gentle touch, ensuring their medical routines, physical limitations, and need for a peaceful rest are fully respected. Your dog will be loved, active, and expertly cared for every single minute. As a stay-at-home homemaker, my schedule is incredibly flexible, which means pet care doesn't just fit into my routine—it becomes the highlight of my day. Since I am at home most of the time, your dog will never be left alone or ignored. From morning walks to afternoon playtime and cozy evening rests, your pup becomes my ultimate companion and best friend. I structure my day around their needs, ensuring they get constant attention, timely meals, and plenty of outdoor time. Having a dog around brings me so much joy, so caring for them feels completely natural and fills my home with happiness. I provide pet care exclusively in my home, which is tailored to be a safe, stress-free haven for your dog. I live in a secure, gated community, offering a quiet and highly protected environment for my daily walks. My house features a spacious, fully fenced backyard, giving your dog plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely under my constant supervision. Safety is my absolute top priority. I ensure that all gates are securely locked at all times, and I never leave dogs unattended outdoors. Inside the home, your pet will have full freedom to lounge and rest in a comfortable, hazard-free space, treated just like a member of my family. I would like to clarify that I will be the sole caretaker and no one else will be assisting me with pet care.

I would love to walk, play with, and care for your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule and am available for many hours. If you have shift work or a non-traditional schedule, or need me for when you travel, I would love to work with you and your animals!

About: Hi! I'm new to the Rover app, but I'm not new to caring for animals. I've always had a natural connection with animals and they seem to gravitate toward me wherever I go. I’m a stay at home mom of a 3 and 5 year old so I am always home and always active and my fiance is home while I run errands. We have a decent size fenced yard where your animal can get some energy out while staying safe. I truly believe animals are family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own child. I'm highly communicative, reliable, and genuinely empathetic. I pay close attention to each pet's unique personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just having a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. That's why I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy those special moments even while you're apart. If you're a busy family looking for a dependable dog walker or pet sitter who will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and lots of love, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .

About: Hey there! I’m a local college student currently studying to become an RN, and I’m home for the summer bringing fresh energy and a genuine passion for pet care. I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and grew up on a family farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from horses and donkeys to our beloved dogs, cats, and everything in between! Over the years, I’ve helped walk and care for dogs for many different families, including first responders and nurses with long or unpredictable work hours. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your pets! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable care tailored to your pet’s needs, and my active lifestyle means your dogs will get plenty of exercise, attention, and playful energy. I treat every animal like family and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends! I am a senior college student at Biola University studying to get my bachelors in nursing. Currently, I am home for the summer looking to further my experience in the pet sitting business. My scheduling gives me lots of flexibility and opportunities to take care of your furry friends whenever possible. I am a very outdoorsy person and you will often find me outside enjoying sunshine by running or hiking with my dogs. Whether it’s a long walk or some playtime in the park, it’s a great way to keep your pets happy and healthy. I believe it is necessary to respect your home and maintain your pet's routine, including feeding schedules and favorite activities, to minimize stress. I send pictures and text updates ensuring you are well informed and aware of your pups activity. Additionally, I personalize each pet's playtime. Whether it’s extra cuddles for a shy pup or more active playtime for an energetic one, I know it is important for the well being and safety of each dog to be aware of their personal needs and preferences.
About: Dog sitting with 2 adults with flexible work schedules and 2 children that love pups! Our family enjoyed 10 years with our two precious Maltese pups before having to give them to our extended family due to a moving transition. Our two kids (ages 8 & 5), love to cuddle and play with our furry friends! Nightly Dog walks around the neighborhood are our favorite. My personal experience with pets is vast. Growing up, we had a myriad of different types of pets including a lamb, fish, and chickens, but alway dogs were part of our family picture! We’re looking forward to giving our children and your pets, the same positive family experience I had growing up. Lap dogs are our heart! Would love to cuddle and care for yours!
“Our two dogs were happy and worn out after a half-hour walk with Belinda. She's scheduled to dog sit for us in a few weeks, and we're very confident she'll take great care of them.”
About: Hello and welcome to ADVENTURES WITH BEAN 🌄 My name is Becca and am a San Diego native who has been exploring the world with my dog/best friend, Stella Bean We are very friendly, active, and have lots of love to give. In my home I believe in treating our guests as family, so that means all furry friends and humans are treated with the same love, kindness, and respect as the next 🌈.Our home is small and comfy but we have a large yard for any size dog to play around in. Taking care of animals is my full-time job so your pet is my priority. I am a very active person, I usually like to go on hikes or walks in canyons, beaches or parks. I double-majored in ecology and biology so nature and animals are my passion. I have extensive experience with animals and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I have worked with dogs w special-needs- I cared for a dalmatian who would have seizures and was very hyperactive, as well as many years caring for my blind dog, Tikka. I also have experience administering insulin to pets who have diabetes. From miniature chihuahua to great dane, I’ve worked with almost every breed. My schedule is flexible, so if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT PACKAGE DEALS FOR DAYCARE!!! Pet care is a way of life for me. I care for Stella 24/7 but when we have company, I like to get up around 7am and plan my days around the dogs/animals I have the opportunity to take care of. From the beaches, to the mountains and canyons in between, I enjoy making my lifestyle an active one and enjoy bringing dogs along with me. When things slow down and I enjoy watching the dogs run around the yard while I work on projects around the house. In our home, dogs have the opportunity to venture between the house and the patio or back yard freely (so long as you are okay w that). The backyard is completely fenced in and double-gated. There is also fresh water dispersed around the property, along with plenty of toys and chews to play with. There is also a patio area so our furry friends can get some shade, if needed. When it comes to cats, I am more than happy to accommodate any size cat, I have a loft in my house that cats love to climb up into and laze about. They have toys and scratching posts up there as well for enrichment. I also have a beautiful beam that stretches above my kitchen that they tend to love to lay on and watch people walk around below. Every animal is different with its own unique temperament . What I enjoy doing is creating a comfy, secure, calm, and fun environment for each and every animal I get the opportunity to meet and care for.
“We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Lily provided for our beloved pup, Hazel! Lily's patience, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference in Hazel's walks. She took her time, ensuring Hazel felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The detailed report card Lily provided after each walk was impressive, giving us a clear picture of Hazel's adventures. We're so grateful to have found Lily and can't wait to have her as our go-to for weekly walks. She truly is a dog lover's dream come true! Five paws up!”

About: I have a flexible schedule with my current job and can walk or sit depending on need of clients and their pets. Walk, talk, fetch, or sit, I’m your gal!

All pets are cared for, protected, and loved like children in our home. We currently only have a beta fish in our home and a 9 yrs old daughter who is the bestest pet lover of us all!
“Marissa was an amazing dog walker! She’s incredibly detailed and attentive, showing a deep understanding of dog behavior and how to make every walk enjoyable and safe. Her kindness and patience made such a difference, and she even shared helpful tips that we’ve used with great success. I highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable dog walker!”
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.

“Amazing experience. I'm so glad we found David and Jeanette. Their family home is setup perfectly for pup sitting and everyone is properly experienced with dog care. Our three dogs (aged 2-13) loved their vacation with these Rovers.”
“Darylee and her family were wonderful! She sent pictures to update us on how Dash was doing. It brought us much joy/peace knowing that Dash was in great hands and having a great time running around in their large fenced-in back yard and playing with the goats. :)”
“Jennifer was wonderful and understanding of a last minute change request. She and her family treated Charlie like one of their own and he was happy and tired when I picked him up.”
“We were so lucky to have Madison take care of our dog over our 13 day vacation. Duke suffers from "only-dog" syndrome and doesn't socialize with other dogs much, so he gets anxious and doesn't always have the best manners at first. Madison and Moses took the time to work with him and teach him how to be part of the pack. She stayed in contact with us with regular updates and pictures and always reassured us that he was meeting the expectations they were setting for him. We were confident that he was safe, well cared for, and in the very best hands that he could be in while we were away. I can not recommend Madison highly enough if you need someone to take care of your fur baby.”
“Michelle and Steve were so easy to work with and so friendly. We were out of town and in a pinch of a sitter. They were so flexible and worked around our drop off pick up schedule. Dogs were well taken care of and had lots of fun playing with other dogs.”
“Erica did an amazing job with our dog. She made sure Cici got attention and the best of care to include administering medication as needed. She sent pictures throughout the day and was excellent at communicating. I felt like our fur baby was in great hands.”
“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“Tyler took such good care of my puppy Yucca! Tyler was very responsive and flexible with the pick up and drop off. I will definitely book again. His place is like a pet resort!”
“Cameron was very friendly and responsive. Their home was clean and outdoor are was great for the dogs. Sent lots of pictures and videos. I never met Adriana in-person, but communication was fast and great. Will definitely use them again.”
“Sarah and Shelby were awesome! Definitely recommend for any of your pet’s services. They took in our 8 month old puppy with short notice for an overnight stay. We were in town from out of state to visit family and this was our dogs first stay away from home. We were updated with pleasant photos throughout the night and they were willing to keep her until noon the next day. Their dogs Ziggy and Titan were very friendly and played well together. We will be back!”
“Erica quickly bonded with my dogs (3) and has provided excellent care. She is very caring and conscientious. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pet. Her rates are very reasonable, and she provides exceptional service. I was in a serious pinch. Erica was so quick to except my request. I’m glad with how everything worked out.”
“I am so thankful that I came across Tatyanah and Everardo here. My dog needs to have his bladder manually expressed following a spinal stroke three years ago. They agreed to learn, and they successfully did it for a long trip for me (18 days!) Tristen loves to walk and got daily walks with lots of new friends. He was healthy when I got him back. I got lots of pictures and updates. He also made new dog friends! I wasn’t worried at all during my trip, and it was such a relief to be able to travel and not worry about my dog. Thank you so much!”
“Super sweet and accommodating! We had some very last minute travel plans and we got everything handled with his help. Communicative and my little one did so good with him. Will book again if I’m in town!”
“Kevin was just the person I needed to take care of my dog while I was working out of town and my family wasn’t home to watch my dog. He has the perfect set up to keep any size dog fed, safe, and well taken care of and he has the room for a handful of dogs too! He and his kids took the time to take my dog out for walks. I will definitely reach out to him when in need again. Thanks Kevin!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“Margaret was really communicative and responsive throughout the whole boarding process. She sent us daily pics and updates about how our furry daughter was doing. This was our first time boarding, so we were a little nervous, but Margaret made the process doable. We would definitely board with Margaret again!”
