“We had a great experience with Tyran and Sharaya who watched our two dogs, one 10 year old and one puppy under a year. Both pups had their own perfect kind of stay. Our older dog got endless cuddles and love from them and their kids, while our puppy had the best time playing nonstop with their dogs. We really appreciated the daily photos and updates, it made being away so much easier. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them. The only “downside” was that our dogs were a little sad to leave and are clearly missing this family. Thank you for loving them while we were away!”

So responsive to messages, sends noted and pictures daily and clearly made sure the litter didnt get out of hand -- absolutely no gross smells or messed by the time we came home. We will be looking for her on our next trip, especially considering how fast our cats took to her and how relaxed they were during the trip and when we came home.

I have two dogs who I love dearly. I make sure to give them lots of cuddles and play with them. If I was in your home I would give your pets all the loves and make sure they aren’t lonely without their person.
“Ashley was fantastic! She made me feel comfortable even though I have quite a bit of worry with leaving my rescue cats with others. She let me know she has rescues too and this was a big plus. She was super responsive and quick and, was flexible with us so we could pick them up early. They came home happier than the last time I had to keep them somewhere for a day which, is huge because… moving my cats is an act of god in itself. I will be using Ashley in the future if she’s available!”

“Jennifer was wonderful, I needed a last minute dog sitter for the day and she was fast to respond and setup arrangements. Her house was easy to find with nice dogs and a big backyard. I would definitely have my dog stay again :)”

“Knew when I met them, I'd book the next. Now that the first one is over, I have no regrets! I booked Kyle and Desiree for daycare. It's my first time leaving my dog with strangers, and I was so nervous! They checked in during the day and took great pictures! Looking forwaed to the next sit, already!”
“Apple did a great job taking care of my pup! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day and responded quickly when I texted. My pup had a great time with her and was tired out after hanging out with her, which is hard to do! I would highly recommend trusting her with your animal!”
“Trixie has so much fun going to see Amelia and playing with her 2 dogs. I get pictures throughout the day, and Trixie is so happy and also worn out from playing when I pick her up. Great sitter!”

“We had a great experience with Aimee taking care of our senior husky for a day-care appointment. This was our first time using Rover so we weren't sure what to expect. Aimee met with me promptly for a meet and greet and we talked about any potential issues, since our old boy has some anxiety. Aimee was competent and confident that she could keep him comfortable for the day. Our family was just enjoying the area for the day but our activities didn't accommodate our dog. He had a great day with Aimee and her teenager. She kept me updated on how he was settling in and sent pictures all day! We are so happy that he got to have a good day while we were separated. When he started to have some separation anxiety near the end of the day, we communicated and she was able to do some training interventions with him and he calmed down. If we are ever in the area again, we'd gladly leave our pets in Aimee's care. She was also the most budget friendly sitter in her area and we appreciate that! You will be thrilled with the care Aimee gives your pets.”
“We had an unfortunate experience with another sitter and were super cautious using it again but Mariel absolutely exceeded our expectations. My dog is shy and takes awhile to warm up to people, however, my dog felt right at home with Mariel. She sent me pictures throughout the day (cause I'm needy and asked haha) And even brushed my dog for hours shedding a wig of hair off. I'm so glad we continued to use rover to find Mariel, I absolutely recommend her !”
“A true dog whisperer. When I needed to find a sitter last minute AJ made accommodations perfectly. He made my pup feel at home from the minute he introduced himself. Not to mention how attentive he was to my pups needs. He had so much fun and almost didnt want to leave. Thank you AJ you're the best.”
About: My wife and have had dogs most of our life and multiple dogs at the same time throughout our 15 years of marriage. She previously worked with HABIC (human animal bond in colorado) to train her dog as a therapy dog to work in hospitals. We currently have 2 dogs, Bear a 13 y/o pyrinesse and Sasha a 8 month old rez dog rescue. Dogs are always welcome here. Dog ages dont matter, Bear has a gentle spirit to him and he loves puppies. Our only requirement is the dogs do a meet and greet and as long as they are good with each other so are we. We can help with minor training i.e. potty training, crate training, sit, shake etc. if you request it. Currently there is someone home 24 hours a day to play with and care for your puppies.

We do have a smaller dog run if you prefer your pup to hang out outside. Fresh water is always out. We have several dog beds so they have comfy places to lay and we will work with your feeding schedule. We are familiar with giving oral medications if needed. Treats are handed out on the regular because the puppies deserve them.
About: Pups have easy access to a doggy door to the dog run to go potty when I am at work. They can get energy out by playing with my boxer Wilbur! I also understand that senior dogs may need space. If that is the case please let me know I do prefer to know hours ahead of time please. I am available any time on weekends and evenings on weekdays for drop off. I would love to do a meet and greet if possible I have a dog run and fenced yard! One of my pups is on medication. Routine is key! I feed mine twice a day.

I strive to get to know each animal in their personality, likes and dislikes
“I highly recommend Evelyn! She took care of my puppy for the day and did an excellent job. After meeting with her, I felt very confident with my choice. Her home is clean and well suited to taking care of pets. She asked all the right questions so she could give him the best care. She was friendly, professional and communicated in a timely manner. My puppy immediately felt comfortable in her home and when I picked him up, he seemed content to just continue hanging out there:) I am very happy to have found a petsitter who gives me peace of mind that my dog is very well taken care of when I am away.”

This is for the safety of both your pup and me! Thanks for checking my profile! As of now, I am currently unemployed and Rover is my main gig. That means more time and availability for you and your pup! If this changes it will be reflected here. I will always treat your home and your pet with utmost care and respect. ❤️ I’m in tune with reading dog behavior and language and can adjust my manner to whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable and happy.

I am currently hoping to go back to full time into pet care. Currently I am looking into going back to college, but I would not start until the fall. Pets in my care can be provided with whatever they need. I have other pets in the home including a dog and cat who can be kept separate from yours if needed. I can also assist with your training plan to be sure your pet stays sharp! I love coming up with at home enrichment for my pets and will be sure to provide your pet with mental stimulation as well.

I currently own four dogs and a disabled cat, giving me firsthand experience with pets of all sizes and special needs. I've cared for dogs ranging from a three-legged Chihuahua to an Irish Wolfhound and am comfortable administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and managing prescription diets.

I also help maintain their normal routine to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: 🐾 Personalized, Experienced Pet Care I provide attentive, compassionate pet care that’s tailored to each animal’s unique needs and personality. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I take the time to truly understand each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. ⸻ 🐶 Specialized Experience: Puppies, Seniors & Foster Dogs I have extensive experience caring for very young animals who require close supervision, consistent routines, and positive guidance, as well as senior pets who need extra patience, gentle handling, and careful monitoring. I’ve also fostered many dogs, giving me experience supporting pets through transitions and helping them feel secure in new environments. I also have veterinary assistant experience in a veterinary hospital that includes patient support, client communication, and animal welfare. ⸻ 🐕 Reactive, Nervous & Training-Support Experience Through fostering and hands-on care, I’ve worked with reactive, nervous, and shy dogs, using calm handling and desensitization techniques to build confidence and reduce stress. I’m experienced in reading body language, preventing triggers, and creating structured, positive interactions that prioritize both the dog’s comfort and safety. ⸻ 🐈🐍🦜🐴 Multi-Species Animal Care In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for reptiles, birds, and large animals. This has strengthened my ability to follow detailed care instructions, maintain proper environments, and recognize subtle changes in behavior or health across many species. ⸻ 🛡️ Safety-First & Detail-Oriented Care Safety is always my top priority with every animal I care for. I’m highly detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medications, enrichment, potty routines, and special instructions. I focus on secure handling, clean environments, and constant awareness to ensure pets are protected and comfortable at all times. ⸻ 💬 Reliable, Loving & Communicative Whether your pet needs calm companionship, structured activity, training support, or extra TLC, I’m committed to providing reliable, knowledgeable, and loving care. I value clear communication and want every owner to feel confident and at ease knowing their pet is in capable, caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As a student in a veterinary technology program, animal care is already a central part of my life, and I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time and flexibility for pets in my care. This allows me to be reliable and attentive with dog walks, drop-in visits, and care while owners are away, without rushing or cutting corners. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs, including consistent feeding times, exercise, enrichment, and observation. Because of this, I’m able to provide dependable, focused care and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I also take great pride in taking pictures and updates of the animals in my care. So you can also feel connected and comfortable being away from your furry companions. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, structured, and comfortable environment that meets each pet’s individual needs. I live in an apartment but am surrounded by nature trails, which allows for plenty of exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation through regular walks and outdoor time. In my home, pets have designated, secure areas for rest, feeding, and play, and I carefully manage space to prevent stress or unsafe interactions. I do not have any permanent animals in my residence, which allows me to fully focus on the pets in my care, though I do foster puppies occasionally with proper separation and supervision. Safety is always a top priority—I follow secure leash practices, maintain a clean environment, monitor behavior closely, and strictly follow owner instructions to ensure every pet feels protected, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

My calender should reflect my un-availability at minimum. If you have any questions, please message me as I am flexible and will accommodate where possible. Keeping things fear-free as much as possible is a priority for me. This means, I won't push your pets boundaries if they won't push mine. I like to keep things calm, relaxing, and easy or neutral. When I meet them for the first time during the meet & greet, I wait for them to come up to me. It's what they are comfortable with. This helps everyone establish trust and familiarity. My hope is that I can be your go to whenever you need pet care. Sometimes, I use miracle tones to help with fear, it is soothing and calming for all. Pet TV is a great option for their environment while you are away and a new person is in their home too. I like to stick to a rhythm or routine. As I enter their palace, I introduce myself gently by using a high pitched soft tone and a treat. Then, I let them sniff me out before they welcome me through. Any grievances? No siree! Next, I like to start feedings and medications after activities. But, I take it at their pace. Afterwards, I will take care of cleaning & notes before my departure from their palace. My values when pet sitting: 💖Trust/Familiarity (Completing the Meet&Greet & sticking to a rhythm or routine) 💖Safety (Keeping doors locked) 💖Compassion (Always stay kind, patient & considerate) 💖Comfort (Temperature in the home, toys, beds) 💖Respect (Their boundaries and space) 💖Quality care/Ensuring all goals are met (Fulfilling all visit requirements) I do not force anything.

“Amber was amazing! She took such great care of Melek and was even kind enough to keep him a little longer than planned, which we really appreciated. Thank you so much for your flexibility and care”
“Ben was wonderful watching our puppy Benny for a last minute trip! He’s a great communicator with a clear love for dogs! He sent us updates about our puppy while we were gone and was super easy going! Would love to have him watch our puppy again in the future!”
“Great booking with Ryan and his wife. Got great updates and pictures. They have the perfect set up for dog sitting with a great yard, plenty of gates for separation, if needed, and gentle, but playful hosts.”
“Jamie & Joe are the BESTEST! It is such a comfort to know our dog, Peach is well taken care of when she is in their care. She is always excited to see them. That says alot. Thanks so much!”
“Thanks Timea for taking such excellent care of our puppy and all the great daily updates and pictures. We definitely felt at ease and truly able to enjoy our trip knowing he was being so well looked after by you!”
“Carrie was very good at communicating and sending pictures while I was away. She is very passionate about what she does and the dogs she cares for. Would definitely recommend!”
“This is our second time using Kim and we just love her so much! She goes above and beyond taking care of our dog Gypsy and sends daily updates and photos. I know Gypsy has a wonderful time there and comes a very happy and content pup.”
“We picked our English Bulldog up at 7:45am and Jessica had everything packed up, Posey’s kennel broken down, and we were able to get right on the road for a 12 hour drive! Posey had obviously played hard because she went right to sleep. She is worn out and happy! Thanks, Jessica!”
“Ashley and Jeremy took great care of Chilli while we were away. They gave us updates and sent us pictures of her every day. She came back home a tired and happy dog! We’ll happily book with them again when we go out of town next”
“Brittany and Ayman are awesome! They sent so many photo and video updates throughout the weekend. It made us feel much more relaxed about leaving her while we were on vacation. They gave Marigold lots of love and she had a great time playing with their dog Pino. We would absolutely leave her with them again.”
“We had a great experience with Tyran and Sharaya who watched our two dogs, one 10 year old and one puppy under a year. Both pups had their own perfect kind of stay. Our older dog got endless cuddles and love from them and their kids, while our puppy had the best time playing nonstop with their dogs. We really appreciated the daily photos and updates, it made being away so much easier. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them. The only “downside” was that our dogs were a little sad to leave and are clearly missing this family. Thank you for loving them while we were away!”
“Jessica stayed in communication and gave us several photos of Ace. She took him on walks. She was flexible when our return flight was delayed. We worked definitely book with her again.”
“Sidney was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and we loved it. During the 11 days away, I got updates and photos for peace of mind. It was amazing and so different from a boarding place where you’re always wondering how it’s going. Sidney is so nice and had such a cute house and sweet dogs!! Definitely will have her watch our pups again!! :)”
“An extraordinary logistical SNAFU had me leaving my timid, sensitive pup with Kysseria & Deb for 2.5 weeks for her first stay, something I’d never normally do. They went WELL out of their way to help me feel comfortable leaving her, and did a great job sending updates & pictures. She was shocked to see me when I arrived to pick her up & didn’t want to leave, which was a HUGE relief for me. We’ll definitely be back; thank you both so very much.”
