“Great first experience! Thanks Wendy for being so responsive. Dog friendly home and yard. This was one of the first experiences our rescue dog had with another dog, and all went well. We will definitely book again!”
“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Our cavalier Hula had an awesome stay with Mecheal! Mecheal has a great fenced in yard, and only takes one dog at a time so I know she was getting all the attention. Mecheal sent great pictures everyday, so we could check up on our pooch. I definitely recommend this Rover.”
“Noel and his family did a fantastic job with our puppy! They are well equipped and their our boy had a blast in their yard! Noel was amazing with sending updates and pictures. I would highly recommend!”
“María took great care of my Coco for 9 days when I went out of the country. María provided constant feedback and pictures. Coco had a lot of fun, didn’t rush to jump on the vehicle to get back home. He was very relaxed like if he just came back from vacation too. Maria was very accommodating when I had to modify the times and dates due to airline last minute changes. I’ll bring Coco back for care in the future ❤️❤️❤️”
“Estelle looked after our pug Henry for a weekend, and the entire time we were able to relax and feel confident that he was happy and in good hands. Her home is beautiful and set up really nicely for the dogs, with a large clean fenced-in yard to play in, and lots of toys and beds for them to occupy themselves. Her dogs are sweet and made Henry right at home. Estelle regularly sent photos and updates to let us know how he was doing. He was always treated like part of the family and I think for him it was just a fun weekend with friends. I will absolutely be boarding Henry with Estelle again and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.”
“Angela is the best!!! I’m so happy I found Angela for my babe’s first boarding. Angela is so sweet and responsible, she send updates with photos and videos everyday and make sure my babe is good and happy! I will definitely coming back if I have any travel plans in the future and recommend to friends and family!! Thank you Angela!!”
“James was fantastic! I have a relatively shy dog, but he came home super happy and clearly had a fun time with James and fam in a super compassionate, loving household. Would recommend them anytime.”
“Alan & Luis take such good care of Cody while we are away. We get up dated pics and videos every day and feed back on how he is doing. It makes us feel secure that Cody is in good hands while we are away. Plenty of activity and interacting with the other dogs . Clean environment and worry free. From my fur baby to you both... thank you for taking such good care of me. Miss you!!”
“Dexter is a passive 17+ yr “old” man. Laura was great with him. He often gets separation anxiety but was very comfortable and relaxed with her. She was very attentive updating us by sending pics and videos which confirmed he was very much at ease with her and her family. We’ll definitely use her again. Thanks Laura!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life - my dog, Yogi, was truly my heart. He was handicapped and became very sick starting at the young age of 4. At that time, I was told he would not live long and was advised to consider euthanasia. Instead, I chose to care for him and support him through his illness, and he went on to live a full and happy life until age 12.5. Caring for a dog with special needs taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize even subtle changes in behavior, comfort, or health. Because of that experience, I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs, dogs with medical needs, or dogs who may require extra patience and compassion. I have two sons (ages 5 and 10) who are gentle, respectful, and have grown up around animals. We also have two cats, ages 3 and 1, who are very accustomed to a calm home environment. I love dogs deeply, but after losing Yogi, I haven’t been ready to get another of my own - so I figured Rover would be the next best thing until that time comes, because caring for others’ dogs is incredibly meaningful to me. I work fully remote, so I’m home all day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and outdoor time whenever they need it. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I also work fully remote, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and frequent walks or outdoor breaks throughout the day. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved - just like family! I work fully from home, so I’m here throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to easily accommodate walks, feeding routines, and whatever each dog needs to feel comfortable and cared for! We live in a great, quiet neighborhood with a large front yard and a fully fenced-in backyard, which is perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I truly enjoy having dogs around and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own and make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets have a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision since I work fully remote. They’ll have access to a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, along with regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific needs, including feeding schedules, medications, or crate routines. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible!
“Anita and her family cared for my super timid dog Poncho for a week while we were out of town. Poncho had never been left anywhere before. He decided to go on a hunger strike and not eat/drink much. I had provided dry food and to try and get him to eat Anita went out and got wet food for him as well as gave him water with a syringe to make sure he was not dehydrated. I’m confident boarding him in a facility with a ton of dogs would have stressed him out more. Anita did a great job trying to make my nervous, quirky dog as comfortable as possible. Thankful that she and her family provided such good care to Poncho!”
“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”
“inam and jennifer took care of my dog on super short notice and he seemed like he didn't want to leave when i came to pick him up! he had such a great time and they were very kind to me! jennifer even took some amazing photos of my pup. highly recommend!”
“Mylinda is FANTASTIC!!! I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. She sent me lots of photos of their walks together. When I picked him up after a weekend away he was super happy. I'll most definitely have Mylinda watch my dog when I'm away in a couple of months. I would give her more 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟”

Will love to take care of your precious little baby 😊 I work from home few times a week and my mom stays at home full time, so someone is always there to play with your pups and to take care of them. I have a fenced yard so they are safe when playing outdoors, I can take them on walks weather permitting, if they like to sleep in their crate they can do so too, potty breaks according to their schedule and have fun indoors.

“Lennox our 6 month old Australian Shepherd had a great stay! He can be a handful but Agnes had no problem with him. We were kept updated with many pictures and messages. We recommended Agnes and will definitely use her again!”

I currently own a 1 year old poodle rescue, and have in-depth experience from puppies and seniors, as well as with kittens and cats! My previous precious pet was a beautiful 15 year old standard poodle and we had the best times together :) I currently work full-time from home as a Registered Nurse (RN), so I am available all days of the week, both days and nights, for drop in visits to take the best care of your furry loved ones! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a calm, loving home where your pet is treated like family. You can trust they’ll be safe, well-cared for, and showered with attention while you’re away!
“Annette was so wonderful with our rambunctious English Bulldog. She took the time to understand her needs and kept us updated with lots of pictures. Gertrude can’t wait to see her again!”
“Julia was wonderful with my cats! She made sure to play with them and gave each one individual attention, which I really appreciated. When I returned home, the house was clean and everything was just as I left it. I felt totally at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands and would happily book her again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Mika! Having someone come into your home and care for your pets requires a lot of trust, and she have exceeded every expectation. Mika is reliable, communicative, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Frank & Harold were happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their own environment while I was away, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I appreciated the updates, photos, and attention to detail, and it was obvious that my dog received plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home was the best feeling. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Meredith substituted for our regular cat sitter over the Christmas holiday. She did a great job of communicating with me and with our usual sitter (regarding the logistics of taking over, etc.), and our four cats and home were well taken care of under her watch. We will definitely hire Meredith again when/if our regular sitter isn't available.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Plainville
“Wendy gave video and picture updates throughout the day. It was awesome to see my 4 month old pup playing with other dogs. Hazel was snoring in the car before we made it one block! 😂 Very good communication. Definitely recommend.”
“Michelle watched Ollie for doggy daycare and he had a great day. We were not able to do a meet and greet prior do to not being around the area, but she reassured us and made sure I had all the information I needed before drop off. She has a great fenced in area and he was right at home. He has separation anxiety and some other quirks, but I could tell he was taken care of great and I did not have to worry!”
About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's so amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. My husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. Our family loves dogs and we will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. My amazing husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in our home. Our home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not much of an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)
“Though new to Rover, Maritza was very good with our 15 yo Havanese Cisco for doggy daycare. There were two larger and younger dogs present as well. She’s working from home now, so she can take the dogs on frequent walks. She will soon have a large fenced in yard…even better! I will definitely use Maritza again, for overnights too.”
“Klaudia and her crew welcomed our anxious pup for daycare and he came home happy and actually seems to a bit less reactive to other dogs after a day with Winston and Bruno! Klaudia checked in several times and sent photos, which we loved, showing Loofy getting lost of attention. We're looking forward to doing an overnight in the near future.”
“Ziggy had a great time spending the day with Jaylese for doggy daycare! They went on a nice walk and Ziggy came back happy and sleepy. She accepted my request last minute and was a breeze to work with - highly reccomend!”
About: I have experience caring for different breeds and personalities, including a Bull Terrier, Border Collie, Belgian Malinois, and Bulldog. Each dog had a wonderful experience in my care, receiving plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision. What sets me apart is the environment I can provide.

“Such a sweet family - took great care of my pup, was super responsive and we had a meet and greet before. Their house is beautiful, with a huge fenced in yard which my pup loved- very well set up for doggies. They sent pictures and updates all day and really took care of her like their own family. Would highly recommend and definitely book with them again!”
About: I’ve had multiple pets since I was young and always had a great love for all animals. I have had my dog since I was 6 years old and been taking care of her since then. Neighbors and family members have always trusted me taking care of their cats, dogs, bunnies, and birds and I love meeting and forming a connection with them all! I also have experience with senior and special needs as my dog had some behavioral issues in the last few years of her life and she has taught me a lot about having compassion for everyone. 🩷 My school year is over so I am currently home for the summer and will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I also am available on breaks as well and would love to walk your dog during those times! I am majoring in animal studies with a minor in environmental studies in college and have a very strong love and passion for all animals. I have a big fenced yard for your dog to run around and play in! My both love all types of pets and are super welcoming.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”
“My mini golden doodle, Maple, had a wonderful time at Angela’s for daycare! She updated us throughout the day with pictures. Maple has social anxiety but she warmed up to Angela’s home and loved running around her big backyard with other dogs. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve always treated dogs like part of the family, not just pets. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a home environment where they get real attention, affection, and care…not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. They have a huge back yard to enjoy running around with their tongues hanging to the ground lol! We usually bathe them outside before heading in on hot summer days. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day. This allows me to give consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of supervision to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for at all times I currently have three small, well-socialized dogs who are friendly and enjoy meeting new dogs. Any dog in my care becomes part of our routine and is treated like family. Our day starts around 6 AM with the first potty break, followed by consistent outdoor time every 3–4 hours. I have a backyard, so the dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor play, along with daily walks for exercise and stimulation. I keep a structured but relaxed environment. My dogs are on a routine that includes feeding schedules, treats, and basic obedience reinforcement like sit, stay, and lay down. This helps create a calm, balanced atmosphere where all dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and well-managed home where your dog feels like they belong

About: I’ve taken care of pets, dogs of all sizes, cats. I’ve given medicine orally, and insulin shots. I have sat for pets for several years for family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I love spending time with all animals between long walks, hiking, and just hanging out on the couch. I work full time but I telework several times per week. Weekends completely available. When I’m at the office my partner is home 24/7 so the pets will never be alone! I have a lead going from the back deck to the shed (across my whole yard) I have two very friendly dogs and cats. I can crate if needed & there is space available if your dog needs to decompress alone without other animals. I slowly introduce animals to make sure everyone coexists well. All dogs are fed separately to avoid any food aggression. We have an over sized, fully gated and covered back deck that the dogs can also hangout on with us safely.
“Maria did exceptional with my baby Snoopy! I was really scared since he suffers from extreme anxiety (He’s a rescue dog). He did great with Maria. She kept me informed and would send me pictures. She was very caring, gentle and comforting. Snoopy did very well with transition. I will definitely rebook with Maria.”

“Michael has been amazing with Tucker since he has started with us! Tucker is happy when he arrives & it's very obvious they have formed a great connection. Michael has also been assisting with our ongoing training for Tucker on his walks & is always making sure Tucker is safe.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats before I reached the age of double digits. Bruno was the first cat my family ever got, he was found in the rafters of our garage, he was so small he had to be nursed from a bottle. He won sweetest cat at the local library, and the next year we found Gus in our bushes on me and my twin brothers 6th birthday. We slyly convinced our mom he was a gift from God and we got to keep him! A couple years later, we dropped into the humane society and fell in love with a grey kitten, and of course, my brother and I pulled out our puppy dog eyes, and Junie B Fox Fire came home with us. It was a full house, three cats, two kids, and one mom. Eventually, it was time to convince my mom to get a dog. We ended up falling in love with a golden doodle and we named her Paisley. And finally, my brother and I felt satisfied with our Animal House. Our animals all lived long happy lives. Our three cats all passed away at 20, and Paisley at 16. They were always treated like family. Those 20 so years did not come without their scares. We had a few times the vet told us there was practically no hope, but Im convinced the love our family had for our animals bent reality, and every time, they were okay. Sometimes surgery was needed, other times just hope. But I am proud of the way I was raised to treat animals, and I thank my mom for that. In my 20s I moved in with my now ex fiance, and we got a dog together. An australian shepherd (I will adopt next time!), she was a puppy. We trained her, loved her, and I was her mom. Sprinkled through the years other cats entered our orbit as we took in family cats whose owner had passed. We became another animal house! unfortunately those cats were older so we got them on their ladder parts of life, and so when our apartment had no more cats, we decided it was time for a kitten! Together we raised our kitten Henry, and Aussie Skylo. I was their mom for about 7 years until we broke up, and tragically my ex stole them, and ran away with his mistress. There are no words for the black hole that left behind. It was right after the break up my family simultaneously lost three of our cats and our dog. Yes they lived a long life, but for the first time ever, I had NO animals in my care. I didn't know how empty that could feel! I don't want to make this a sob story, but I want to explain why you are just seeing a kitten in my photos. I moved to FL after the break up, and that is where I found Roary my now cat, who was 5 weeks old dodging cars in the middle of the busiest intersection in Fort Lauderdale. I was the only one on the ground to pick her up, I wasnt ready for a cat, but life did its life thing, and I am so blessed to have her by my side now. I am back in Florida, and ready for Rover! I am nurturing, thoughtful, attentive, and not to pat myself on the back.. but I do think I speak fluent animal. I would be so grateful for the opportunity to watch your beloved pet! I am currently free as a bird here in Florida. My availability is adaptable as I can fully commit to my time here on Rover! Safety always comes first. In your home, I follow your routine exactly; feeding, meds, and house rules. On walks I double check leashes, hold a tight grip, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and never let your pet off leash. I'll send photo updates every visit so you always know your animal is safe and happy.

“We had a great experience with Nataliia watching oir dog for a week while we were out of town. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Nataliia pays close attention to detail — from monitoring food and water bowl levels to sending regular picture updates and check-ins throughout the week.”
“Beyond any expectations! Courtney is completely reliable, always punctual and has a strong sense of responsibility. Totally trust her with my best friend and Koko loves her. We both hope to see her again when the occasion arises. Highest recommendation”
About: When you trust me with your pets, you’re not just getting a sitter—you’re getting someone who truly understands animals. With hands-on experience caring for my own two playful puppies and a lifelong love of animals, I know what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I combine reliable, professional care with a personal touch, making sure each visit is filled with attention, routine, and love. From tailored care plans to regular updates, I go above and beyond so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pets are cared for like family. Because I work overnight shifts at my other job, my days are free and flexible for pet care. This allows me to dedicate quality, unrushed time to walks, play, feedings, and check-ins while most people are at work. My schedule makes me especially reliable for daytime care, and I’m also available for evenings and weekends. Having two puppies of my own keeps me on a consistent routine, so caring for pets is already a natural part of my daily life. Caring for my two puppies has taught me the importance of creating a safe, loving, and structured environment every single day. In my own home, I focus on routines, enrichment, and making sure they always feel secure. When caring for pets in other people’s homes, I bring that same level of attention and respect, while also maintaining their familiar surroundings and routines to reduce stress. Safety is always my top priority—whether that means following feeding instructions carefully, keeping a watchful eye during walks, or securing their environment. Above all, I know that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I take that responsibility seriously, and I’m committed to giving your pets the same care, consistency, and love that I give my own.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as this is my full-time job. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and bathroom breaks, ensuring pets aren’t left alone for long. While I’m not offering overnight house sitting at the moment, I’m happy to provide house sittings during the day or evening. If I have a dog walk or drop-in, I may step out briefly and return. I will always keep my clients informed of my availability so they know they can rely on me. I love shaping my day around the pets I care for—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines—so I can keep their comfort and consistency at the heart of everything I do. I take safety and trust very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I closely follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules. I keep the environment clean, calm, and familiar to reduce stress for the pet.
About: I have worked with animals for many years! I have been a veterinary technician/ assistant for 3 years! Prior to this I worked at a doggy daycare. I completed a vet assistant course and even some tech studies as well. I’m currently working full time at a veterinary hospital (4 days a week), my schedule allows me plenty of time on my days off and after work to take care of your animals!(: I will give them so much love! You don’t have to worry about them not getting enough attention - EVER! This includes feeding/ potty breaks/ medication administration! Please feel free to reach out with any specific requests.
About: I’ve had multiple pets since I was young and always had a great love for all animals. I have had my dog since I was 6 years old and been taking care of her since then. Neighbors and family members have always trusted me taking care of their cats, dogs, bunnies, and birds and I love meeting and forming a connection with them all! I also have experience with senior and special needs as my dog had some behavioral issues in the last few years of her life and she has taught me a lot about having compassion for everyone. 🩷 My school year is over so I am currently home for the summer and will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I also am available on breaks as well and would love to walk your dog during those times! I am majoring in animal studies with a minor in environmental studies in college and have a very strong love and passion for all animals. I have a big fenced yard for your dog to run around and play in! My both love all types of pets and are super welcoming.
“Amber has been great! She worked with me and pup to get him comfortable with her before she took him on any walks! My guy has never had a dog walker and is stranger reactive, but loves Amber! His favorite part of the day is his walk with her!”
About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's so amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. My husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. Our family loves dogs and we will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. My amazing husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in our home. Our home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not much of an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)
About: I am very reliable and truly love dogs. I am available anytime on weekends and limited hours on week days as I do work full time. I can walk your dog, play with your dog and watch them overnight. My family owns a dog so have a lot of experience caring for them. Size and energy level does not matter to me as I like all dogs. I am very used to high and low energy dogs as my family owned a jack Russell, and he is very energetic and needs a lot of attention, now I own an English Bulldog who loves cuddles and laying around. If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out to me, I am happy to provide more information. Looking forward to meeting some great dogs and their owners :) I am available anytime on weekends and can make weekdays work as well for drop in visits. I can also dog sit overnight during the week and weekend from your home. I will pay close attention to your dog(s) at all times and give them a lot of love. Any special instructions needed are fine as well, whatever your dog needs.
“Ashley is amazing. We had a great meeting prior to her starting with my dog. She’s professional, timely, and struck up an instant connection with my dog. I’d highly recommend her!!!!”

“Great first experience! Thanks Wendy for being so responsive. Dog friendly home and yard. This was one of the first experiences our rescue dog had with another dog, and all went well. We will definitely book again!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Noel and his family did a fantastic job with our puppy! They are well equipped and their our boy had a blast in their yard! Noel was amazing with sending updates and pictures. I would highly recommend!”
“James was fantastic! I have a relatively shy dog, but he came home super happy and clearly had a fun time with James and fam in a super compassionate, loving household. Would recommend them anytime.”
“Alan & Luis take such good care of Cody while we are away. We get up dated pics and videos every day and feed back on how he is doing. It makes us feel secure that Cody is in good hands while we are away. Plenty of activity and interacting with the other dogs . Clean environment and worry free. From my fur baby to you both... thank you for taking such good care of me. Miss you!!”
“Dexter is a passive 17+ yr “old” man. Laura was great with him. He often gets separation anxiety but was very comfortable and relaxed with her. She was very attentive updating us by sending pics and videos which confirmed he was very much at ease with her and her family. We’ll definitely use her again. Thanks Laura!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life - my dog, Yogi, was truly my heart. He was handicapped and became very sick starting at the young age of 4. At that time, I was told he would not live long and was advised to consider euthanasia. Instead, I chose to care for him and support him through his illness, and he went on to live a full and happy life until age 12.5. Caring for a dog with special needs taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize even subtle changes in behavior, comfort, or health. Because of that experience, I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs, dogs with medical needs, or dogs who may require extra patience and compassion. I have two sons (ages 5 and 10) who are gentle, respectful, and have grown up around animals. We also have two cats, ages 3 and 1, who are very accustomed to a calm home environment. I love dogs deeply, but after losing Yogi, I haven’t been ready to get another of my own - so I figured Rover would be the next best thing until that time comes, because caring for others’ dogs is incredibly meaningful to me. I work fully remote, so I’m home all day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and outdoor time whenever they need it. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I also work fully remote, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and frequent walks or outdoor breaks throughout the day. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved - just like family! I work fully from home, so I’m here throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to easily accommodate walks, feeding routines, and whatever each dog needs to feel comfortable and cared for! We live in a great, quiet neighborhood with a large front yard and a fully fenced-in backyard, which is perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I truly enjoy having dogs around and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own and make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets have a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision since I work fully remote. They’ll have access to a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, along with regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific needs, including feeding schedules, medications, or crate routines. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible!
“Anita and her family cared for my super timid dog Poncho for a week while we were out of town. Poncho had never been left anywhere before. He decided to go on a hunger strike and not eat/drink much. I had provided dry food and to try and get him to eat Anita went out and got wet food for him as well as gave him water with a syringe to make sure he was not dehydrated. I’m confident boarding him in a facility with a ton of dogs would have stressed him out more. Anita did a great job trying to make my nervous, quirky dog as comfortable as possible. Thankful that she and her family provided such good care to Poncho!”
“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”
“Fiona was fantastic! Meet and greet first and got comfortable with the setup. She sent pics and updates as requested and I will be booking with her again soon. I could tell my dog Cal was very comfortable there both during and after.”
“I would like to thank Jaylese for her love and care, she is extremely careful and attentive and took great care of our Enzo!! And she accepted our dog on the last minute Very thankful I highly recommend it and he will definitely come back again ♥️”
“Anna was very attentive, kind and obviously portrayed that she wanted to care for our fur baby. Our dog can be a little difficult with strangers and it seemed that she felt very comfortable there! Definitely recommend.”
“Kevin was amazing. My dog, Scruffy is very shy, but he got comfortable with Kevin and his dog very quickly. It was evident that Scruffy had a pleasant stay with Kevin, and he’ll be back soon 👍 Bonus: Scruffy also smelled nice (like himself) when he got home. When Scruffy stays with other sitters, he usually comes home smelling like other dogs for a few days. It was definitely a bonus (for me) that it didn’t take a few days for Scruffy to smell like himself again, haha.”
“Samantha did an outstanding job, took great care of bear and bear seemed to get a huge kick out of her dogs. Sent lots of pictures, really spoiled her the entire time she stayed at her home. I will be booking her again soon!”
“Maggie took great care of our pup! She is a great communicator, easy to contact and quick to respond. She shared photos and updates along the way. Would highly recommend Maggie, and will use Maggie again for sure!!!”
“Katie took excellent care of Sadie while we were away on vacation - after meeting her during the meet and greet I felt super comfortable leaving Sadie at her house. Will absolutely use her again for any future vacations, she is quick to respond and very accommodating!”
“This was our first time using a Rover/boarding our 9-year-old rescue dog and Brittany did such a good job at giving her space the space she needed, making her comfortable, and sending us plenty of updates. Would absolutely recommend her and plan on booking with her again!”
“Caring and loving family. She kept me abreast of my pup being sad that we weren’t around, and continued to go out of the way to make sure he was ok, just sad. Don’t hesitate to have them watch your pups.”
About: I grew up with dogs. I had a Great Dane that lived to be 12. I currently have a mini bernedoodle that is almost 5 years old. I also have a bunny. I currently work full-time and am available on Saturday and Sunday for boarding and dog walking. From late June through August, my schedule is more flexible. I will be available daily. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac with a fenced-in yard. I have a very friendly mini Bernedoodle. I love dogs that play and lazy dogs that just like to chill.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sherry was absolutely amazing while taking care of my dog, Levi, for 10 days while I was away. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely safe and at ease, which means everything when trusting someone with your pet. She was incredibly loving and attentive with Levi, and it truly showed in how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Sherry kept me updated constantly with messages and updates, which I really appreciated and looked forward to. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% trust her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
