“So kind and a great communicator. Thank you for caring for Bonnie Bella with love. We look forward to seeing you in the future as our entrusted partner when my family and I are away.”
“Koda stayed for an extended visit and everything went really smoothly. I got videos regularly, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. He clearly had a blast — especially making new dog friends. He came home happy and tired in the best way. I’d definitely book again.”
“Sarah and her family were amazing and took such great care of Jackson! Great communication from start to finish. We got plenty of updates and photos througout our 2 week trip and we could tell Jackson really enjoyed his stay there. Jackson was happy to see us but I could tell he was going to miss staying there too. Thank you again Sarah, Jackson will definitely be back for our next trip!”
“Lili is an absolutely amazing sitter. We left Sunny, our 4 year old golden retriever, with Lili. He had an absolute blast, and I’m pretty sure he’s disappointed he had to leave! He made so many new friends, and Lili made sure to capture all the moments and provide frequent updates. Thanks Lili!”
“Cristy was amazing with our pups! Our youngest is a rescue and tends to get nervous with new situations and surroundings but was right at home with Cristy. She sent pictures, videos and updates that out our minds at ease and gave us the peace of mind we needed while we were away. They were happy and well cared for. Cristy will be our number one go to for future dog sitting needs.”
“Caroline was very attentive to my dogs needs and issues. She made sure to always keep me updated with what’s going on & any updates along the way. She went above and beyond in watching my dog this entire week. I would highly recommend Caroline!”
“Julieth and her husband were wonderful hosts for our dog. They took great care of him, provided plenty of updates and photos, and were accommodating with our pick up time. We will definitely board with them again in the future!”
“Sam is friendly and professional. Sam emails and sends pictures of Sol, my 9 year old cockapoo. She lets me know if he is not eating and prepares special for him. Sol loves going to stay with Sam and her family. This is s perfect match!”
“Salem absolutely loved being with Candace and the crew! She fit in perfectly with their pack and spent her 5 day boarding having the time of her life. They sent me tons of pictures and gave me updates on her. I felt like she was in great hands and would absolutely bring her back again!”
“I had a great experience with Treasure. She was extremely communicative the entire time, always keeping me updated and making me feel at ease. She was also very flexible with my schedule for both drop-off and pick-up, which I really appreciated. When I needed to extend my dog’s stay by an extra day, she was more than accommodating and made the process completely stress-free. Throughout the stay, she consistently sent pictures and updates, which meant a lot to me. I will definitely be booking with her again within the next two weeks and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sit.”
“Victoria was awesome and very sweet. She constantly gave me updates about my fur baby. Lots of pics. Pictures that made me feel that my dog felt very comfortable with her. Thank you so much Victoria. I definitely would/will be re-booking.”
“So thankful for Christina and Oskar! They took great care of my baby Charley, gave us updates and sent pictures of how he was doing. They are very organized and detailed, making sure Charley had everything he needed and worked with him during his pickiness in eating.”
“Greatest sitters for my very scared of new experiences chihuahua. This couple was so responsive and kind. I don’t travel much, so I’m always hesitant about leaving her with strangers. This couple made me feel like Abby and I are family. Such a load off my mind and I was able to enjoy my trip.”
“Chopper had a great time with Sasha. He got to make a new friend which made his time so fun! This was Chopper’s first long stay away from home and I felt extremely confident that he was in good hands.”
About: Hi, I am Tammy… I recently lost our beloved Great Dane, Blue after 7 wonderful years together. While our home feels a little too quiet right now, our love for animals hasn’t changed. I am opening our hearts and home on Rover to give other pets the same dedicated, high-quality care, comfort, and affection we gave our own. I have long backgrounds (30+ years) of dog ownership. I have attended many training courses (e.g., Sit Means Sit) and have full comprehension for the theory and application of training principles. I live in a child-free and pet-free home - your dog would would be my sole guest. My home is completely tiled on the first floor and accident proof. My home is fully dog-proofed for safety, quiet, and secure. My backyard is ample and unfenced, so we would provide regular, leashed access outside for potty breaks and walks as desired/appropriate. Dogs can expect to spend most time inside in the air-conditioning with access to the outdoors as needed/desired. I are not a farm, etc., where your pet would be primarily outside. I live in a wonderful, quiet, gated community. Several of my previous pets had special needs, requirements, etc., so I fully understand how critical those needs are. Whether your pup is an energetic fetch enthusiast, a senior dog who prefers slow strolls and cozy naps, or a dog with food allergies or specific dietary concerns, we follow your routine to the letter—including strict feeding and medication schedules. I would love to meet you and your fur baby! Feel free to reach out to schedule a Meet & Greet so I can ensure we’re the perfect fit for your dog's needs. I am available for long weekends only at this point - Friday through Sunday. If needed drop off also available Thursday evenings after 7pm. Pet care during this time would be my 100% focus. We have a large 2-story home in a safe, quiet, gated community. Our previous dog (Blue, the Great Dane) had severe allergies and strict dietary restrictions, so our home is dog-proofed, our yard is well-manicured to minimize allergens tracked inside, and the entire first floor is tiled in case of accidents. We are child and pet free - your pet would be our sole guest and 100% focus.
“Linda took care of Charlie and Gus for 12 days. When we picked them up they were healthy and happy! She kept us informed and sent pictures and we will definitely book again. Thanks Linda! Great job!”
“Asking you to watch Nami is the biggest compliment I can give you, because I only trust Nami with the best".It’s clear she loved staying with you so I could enjoy my trip without worrying & I didn't worry for a second". Thank you for all the pictures as well... Be prepared for my next trip 😆 because she's staying with her "other" mommie & papa!”

“Matt and Jamie took excellent care of our very particular little men. They went above and beyond and were proactive about informing us of any changes in and around the house or concerns that they noticed during their daily visits. We got great pictures and lots of comments about our boys’ behavior every day. Would absolutely book with again.”
“Maricel showed up and showed out! I needed someone last minute and it was great that she had been here before and she remembered everything from the last time. She was very respectful of my place, showed up on time and sent plenty of pictures. Absolutely I would use her again.”
“Andrew was a great fit right from the beginning. He has a great nature with animals and and our (not friendly at first) dog warmed right up to him. He was diligent about making sure our baby was taken care of and went above and beyond what we asked of him. We could not have been more at ease leaving for the weekend knowing our family member was taken care of and loved on. Andrew is exceptional and I will definitely use his services above anyone else.”
“Summer did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were gone. She was very responsive and made sure to send pictures showing all she had done. Definitely will book again!”
“Sabrina did such an amazing job with my 2 cats! I will definitely be using her again in the future!! It was my first experience with rover, I was very nervous at first but I’m so glad I chose this service and Sabrina.”

It was clear they were well cared for, and they came home happy and relaxed. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Laurie again. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! I’m Hailey — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter based in Sanford, Florida. I’ve grown up with dogs of all kinds, from energetic Boxers and Labradors to gentle Shih Tzus, Golden Doodles, and even Pitbulls. I also have a sweet cat of my own who’s been part of my life for nine years, so I understand how much love and attention our pets need to feel safe and happy. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort and routine. I prefer to care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar environment. I’m also experienced in administering medications: topical, oral, and even injectable. You can count on me to make sure your pet’s health needs are handled with care. While you’re away, I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own: watering plants, cleaning floors, doing light laundry, and keeping everything neat and cozy for your return. You can count on me for reliable communication, regular photo updates, and genuine love for your furry family members. I’d love to meet you and your pets soon! 🐾 I am not currently working. I do drop in visits 4 times a day or I am able to spend the night with the pups. When I usually stay at the owners house I will have them write out instructions on how they want their animal taken care of and I will do just that as well as send pictures to make the owner feel more comfortable.

“Caralin was absolutely excellent taking care of our pets while we were away on vacation. My girlfriend and I are overprotective pet parents and have trouble leaving our loved ones home while away; Caralin went over above and beyond with her care of them and truly impressed us with the care and love she showed to our pets. We would be happy to hire her again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to family and friends. If you’re like us and worry about your pets while away, you can trust Caralin to make sure they’re happy and taken care of.”

About: Hi! I’m a mom and a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life. I truly have a heart for dogs and believe they deserve a safe, loving, and fun environment while their owners are away. I enjoy spending time playing with them, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, patience, and supervision. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Someone will always be home with your pet- either myself or my husband. We are flexible with drop off, but the latest time for pick up that we allow is 9pm unless arranged beforehand. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and receive lots of love, attention, and personalized care. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and explore, as well as a covered patio where they can relax and enjoy the fresh air. Whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in yours, I'll do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and following their usual routine.
“We are really impressed with Douglania. Our dog loves visiting her and is always excited when we are nearing her home. He is always happy and playful when we pick him up as if he was loved as much as we love him while we were away. We are not surprised with her repeat client count and we will continue to utilize her services.”
“Candace and Larry took wonderful care of my dog Roger during his daycare stay. They sent lots of updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated and made me feel very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. They were both very kind and friendly, and it was clear that Roger was well cared for and happy while he was there. I would highly recommend Candace and Larry to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Victoria, a local Sanford dog sitter and proud dog mom to Leo, my toy schnauzer. I provide a safe, loving home environment where dogs are treated like family—not just pets. No cramped kennels or long hours alone. They’ll have the run of the house, plenty of outdoor time, belly rubs, treats, and all the love they could ask for. A brief Meet & Greet is required prior to sitting for all new clients to assure compatibility. I work remotely, which means your dog will have companionship and supervision throughout the day. Whether they’re here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, they’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor breaks, playtime, cuddles, and individualized attention. I intentionally keep my boarding numbers low to create a calm, low-stress environment where every dog receives the care they deserve. We have policies in place to make sure dogs, who are escape artists, aren’t able to make a run for it, we space feeding time and walking time as research has shown eating prior to a walk and immediately after can cause bloating and other complications. It’s my mission your dog is safe at all times so you can worry less when your dog is not with you.
About: I pet sit small to medium dogs in my home and yours if needed. I walk, exercise and play with them. Spend quality time with them. I do not cat sit in my home. I will go to your home and look after your cat. Litter change, feed and spend time with pet. As I mentioned, I do not sit cats in my house but I will visit your home and care for your cat in their environment.
“Don’t even know what to say except THANK YOU! First time using rover and interviewed others before meeting Kim. Once I met her and her pups, I knew Hudson would be in great hands.

“Rachel did a great job taking care of Charlie. He was calm when I arrived to pick him up. Rachel reported that he ate his dinner with no problem and didn't bark once. Setting up the appointment was easy as was communication. Rachel provided a calm, safe, orderly environment for Charlie to relax and feel at home. And that helped me to relax, knowing he was well taken care of.”

About: I had pets all my life. I assure you, your fur baby will enjoy my company with 100% attention. I have a big fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. I have experience with medical needs such as shots, eye and ear drops. Grooming and kisses are included. I work from home; therefore, I have eyes on the pets.

“Good communication pre visit. Was ready for Sadie’s stay and we felt comfortable leaving her. Her day went well and we will definitely reserve again if needed when visiting in the area. Thank you James and Leslie :)”
About: I am a devoted pet enthusiast with a heart as big as my love for dogs. For over a decade, I've immersed myself in the world of canine care, cherishing every wagging tail and sloppy kiss along the way. My passion for our furry friends knows no bounds, spanning across all ages and breeds. With a gentle touch and unwavering patience, I have honed my skills as a dog trainer, guiding numerous pups through obedience training and behavioral challenges. Whether it's teaching a rambunctious puppy to sit or helping an older dog master new tricks, I approach each furry student with compassion and understanding. I am a teacher but after work hours my life revolves around my dogs. I have 2 friendly Belgian Malinois ready to play if your pet would like. If not I am more than happy to crate and rotate. I am more than happy to come into your home and pet sit for you if your dog would do better at home. During the summer this will be my full time job so your dog will hardly ever be alone. I am more than happy to play and walk them whenever they would like and offer them lots of cuddles.
About: My love for animals started when i was a little girl. I grew up on a farm that had multiple dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it. I am open to any kind of dogs or cats, no matter the age or size. I am willing to work around my schedule to accommodate you in any way possible. My care for pets grows more and more each day. I can understand how hard it can be to find someone you can rely on to tend to your pets needs and wants. Not only are they pets, they’re also considered family. Their needs will be tended to if i’m given the opportunity to do so.
About: **New clients, please read below!** I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have a 14 year old Shih Tzu of my own that I have cared for since I was a teen. I frequently dog sit for family & friends and I have experience with all kinds of breeds. In the past, I have cared for small and large breeds as well as senior dogs & puppies! A dog’s safety and well-being is my number one priority. New Clients: I cannot accept same day requests as I require a meet & greet prior to booking! I currently work from home Monday through Friday. Due to my work schedule, the following is how I currently accept bookings; Drop-ins/walks: Midday or evenings (after 5pm) for weekdays. Weekends can be anytime. Boarding/day care: anytime, given that I’m available. I can be flexible, so if you need extra accommodations I can definitely work with you. A meet & greet will be required for any new clients to make sure we’re a good fit! I live in a pet friendly apartment in a gated community. There is a vast grassy area behind my building and I have a screened in balcony that is loved by many pups. I make sure to keep all pets within my view at all times. I can assure that your pet will always be safe & gets plenty of love and affection from me :)

About: I am well versed on various training, dog sitting, boarding and walking methods for our canine family members. Gained hands on experience of training and handling with my 11 year old GSD. I personally researched for years and only then successfully trained my current 10 month old GSD, using my other 11 year old GSD as a control. I will offer free consults to clients in need of repeat services in order to determine the tailored needs for your dog. Always willing to go above and beyond for my love of dogs. Excel with all dogs and utilize communication with the client in order to fully understand the specific qualities, needs and wants of the dog in order to organize and manage effective walks/boarding/training. I have been living in the area for over 20 years and know all of the dog-friendly parks or areas that provide a clean and safe environment offering an array of enrichment. Knowledgeable in training and recognizing animal body language used to establish positive communication with the dogs. I can not only improve the lives of the dog, but also clearly communicate and empower the owner with training tips to continue effective conditioning for a well-trained dog. My remote position of over 5 years as a Sr Mortgage Underwriter was recently moved into the office (Tampa) and decided to take time off. Therefore, I am available 24/7 and mainly focusing on the transition into the Dog Walking/Boarding/Training business. *HOUSE SITTING SERVICE: Active as a less expensive alternative to booking numerous Drop-In visits with multiple dogs.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors, and I can even administer medications, if needed. To me this won't just be another job or a check-in, I want to get to know your dog, cuddle them, and have playtime with them for enrichment. Puppies each have their own personalities and I have taken care of pups with challenging and sassy personalities, including my own 6 month old coonhound who is super independent. I can train puppies, so if you are working long hours and need help with potty training, crate training, or mastering basic commands such as sit, I would love to help you with that while I'm there! My schedule is currently open for the entire summer, Monday through Sunday. If I am needed early morning hours or late evening hours, I am also open to discussing this. During in-home check-ins for dogs, only with your approval, I will give your pup treats for training purposes. Typically I will use single pieces of your dog's kibble to motivate them in learning commands. When it comes to cats, if you are hiring me to take care of your cat while you are gone for work or a trip, I will treat them as an indoor-only cat, no exceptions.
About: I am skilled in basic pet care, including exercising, sensory enrichment play time, feeding/watering, bathing/cleanliness, and administering medication. I have taken care of animals my entire life, including cats, dogs, and several types of exotic animals. I am currently working part time in Hospitality, so my availability is subject to inquiry. Most days and nights, I am available to board several animals. I am very flexible and receptive to your pets’ individual needs, and can accommodate most requests (bathroom break at a certain time, feeding schedule, med schedule, etc.) Please let me know if there is a special request and I will do my best to honor it. Your pet will be cared for like my own Mr. Winston! I treat pets like family members. I am a loving caregiver, as evidenced by my own care of my dog, Winston. Your animal will be cared for as if they were mine. If anything, they may even be spoiled a little during their stay!
About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.
About: I love dogs (as well as cats, lizards, and all kinds of animals)! Your best buddy will be well taken care of, pampered and loved while you're gone. I like playing with our quests and like walks with them. I currently have one cat. I have a nice size fenced in yard for quick pee breaks but we will most likely be taking them out for walks around the neighborhood often. I am usually available everyday of the week and are usually home most of the day. At times, with your permission, I would take your best buddy with us to local park walks, pet friendly restaurants, or local festivals. I’m semi retired and can take care of your pet almost anytime. I’m not usually gone from home long, but if I am I usually will take your pet with me I have a large fenced yard, with plenty of chances to run and play. I will be out in the yard wherever they are, so they are away safe in the backyard

My work schedule can change weekly so I plan on updating my schedule to take care of pets weekly as well! I will ensure to make time for all pets even with this work schedule! I will be most helpful in mornings but will also be there to provide service throughout the whole day. At home I have 5 dogs and 1 lovely cat! My cat typically stays upstairs while my dogs will be downstairs and get to roam around freely. I have a small patio with grass that is fenced that I let my dogs out in! I have some cages and many beds for pets to use! For taking care of a pet at your home, I will follow along with any pet instructions given. I will feed, let dogs out to potty or walk as needed. I’m happy to provide any other services you may need regarding your pets! I will of course dedicate time to playing with them!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, giving medication, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important pets are to families, so I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m also dependable, communicative, and willing to follow any special routines or instructions to keep your pet happy. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My daughter attends daycare during the day, which gives me plenty of time to focus on caring for pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and keeping them comfortable and happy throughout the day. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m patient, responsible, and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. My goal is to make pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
About: I have worked in a vet clinic setting that has allowed me to work with different types of animals of all ages. I have works from little dogs to big dogs to little cats to big cats. I always treat the animals like they’re one of us and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I always make time for my animals no matter the time I always work around and make sure everyone is happy. I’m open to work around my schedule in their schedule. The care that I give all animals does not change. I care for them all equally making sure they are all comfortable and they feel safe in their home either if it’s in my place or theirs.
About: I have had a dog myself since I was 10 and a cat since 15. Both were majority my responsibility. I have also pet sat for many friends and family with a multitude of different sized pets. Hi! I’m in town temporarily doing clinical placements and using Rover to help keep my bank account alive 😅 I’m reliable, easygoing, and take pride in doing a good job. Happy to help out while I’m here! I love all animals :) I can easily walk dogs, play with any animal, give them lots of love and pets, and provide great care for your babies. I will remain in constant contact with you and do everything the way you ask! I understand the importance of taking care of the fur babies , I’m here for what you need!
About: Hi there, I have worked in a doggy daycare for 2years, volunteered for a pet clinic for 1year, dog training on my own for going on 2years now. I have 2 big dogs, and 2cats! I have experience with shy dogs, anxiety dogs, leash reactive dogs too. Hi there! I am currently a stay at home mom with a one year old. If you need walks in the morning of early afternoon he will have to come with me but will stay in a stroller at all times! Otherwise I am able to be childfree for walks and any visits after 5:30pm, or after 12pm on Fridays, all day Saturdays and Sundays! I follow your instructions on how you want you fur baby to be treated. I send lots of pictures on walks and drops if I can. I love dog cuddles and playtime!
“Needed help with dog walking for the day while visiting family out of town. Stasia was friendly and responsive with getting everything set up. I received updates and pictures both times she walked our dog. I'll definitely use her services again when we're in town. Thanks Stasia!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life and shared responsibility for taking care of them with my siblings. I now have my own fuzzball - Miso (Brown tabby cat). I also frequently watch my close friends, neighbors, and family's pets while they’re out of town or just need a little 'me' time away from their energetic gremlins - always being sure to give them lots of love while their person is away. I have helped my closest friend train her Husky/German Shepard mix puppy do simple commands like: sit, stay, paw and most importantly potty training. I do have experience with younger animals so I can help out with training and I of course have loads of patience, experience, and love to care for senior pets too! I have always loved being around animals, they’re such pure creatures that we are soo undeserving of a lot of times! Feel free to shoot me a message to discuss times and availability. Weekends I am typically completely free unless marked on my Rover Calendar! :)) I currently WFH so can be very flexible. I can work on the road, or simply bring my work with me where ever I go. Just looking to pick back up some side jigs - mostly ones I find joy in, and this is definitely a big one on my list! I have an apartment that is near a small dog park and other parks in the area as well. I have a younger cat that is still adjusting to dogs but doesn't mind keeping to herself on her kitty castle (cat tower/tree) or in a separate room.

“So kind and a great communicator. Thank you for caring for Bonnie Bella with love. We look forward to seeing you in the future as our entrusted partner when my family and I are away.”
“Koda stayed for an extended visit and everything went really smoothly. I got videos regularly, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. He clearly had a blast — especially making new dog friends. He came home happy and tired in the best way. I’d definitely book again.”
“Sarah and her family were amazing and took such great care of Jackson! Great communication from start to finish. We got plenty of updates and photos througout our 2 week trip and we could tell Jackson really enjoyed his stay there. Jackson was happy to see us but I could tell he was going to miss staying there too. Thank you again Sarah, Jackson will definitely be back for our next trip!”
“Lili is an absolutely amazing sitter. We left Sunny, our 4 year old golden retriever, with Lili. He had an absolute blast, and I’m pretty sure he’s disappointed he had to leave! He made so many new friends, and Lili made sure to capture all the moments and provide frequent updates. Thanks Lili!”
“Cristy was amazing with our pups! Our youngest is a rescue and tends to get nervous with new situations and surroundings but was right at home with Cristy. She sent pictures, videos and updates that out our minds at ease and gave us the peace of mind we needed while we were away. They were happy and well cared for. Cristy will be our number one go to for future dog sitting needs.”
“Julieth and her husband were wonderful hosts for our dog. They took great care of him, provided plenty of updates and photos, and were accommodating with our pick up time. We will definitely board with them again in the future!”
“Sam is friendly and professional. Sam emails and sends pictures of Sol, my 9 year old cockapoo. She lets me know if he is not eating and prepares special for him. Sol loves going to stay with Sam and her family. This is s perfect match!”
“Salem absolutely loved being with Candace and the crew! She fit in perfectly with their pack and spent her 5 day boarding having the time of her life. They sent me tons of pictures and gave me updates on her. I felt like she was in great hands and would absolutely bring her back again!”
“I had a great experience with Treasure. She was extremely communicative the entire time, always keeping me updated and making me feel at ease. She was also very flexible with my schedule for both drop-off and pick-up, which I really appreciated. When I needed to extend my dog’s stay by an extra day, she was more than accommodating and made the process completely stress-free. Throughout the stay, she consistently sent pictures and updates, which meant a lot to me. I will definitely be booking with her again within the next two weeks and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sit.”
“So thankful for Christina and Oskar! They took great care of my baby Charley, gave us updates and sent pictures of how he was doing. They are very organized and detailed, making sure Charley had everything he needed and worked with him during his pickiness in eating.”
“Greatest sitters for my very scared of new experiences chihuahua. This couple was so responsive and kind. I don’t travel much, so I’m always hesitant about leaving her with strangers. This couple made me feel like Abby and I are family. Such a load off my mind and I was able to enjoy my trip.”
About: Hi, I am Tammy… I recently lost our beloved Great Dane, Blue after 7 wonderful years together. While our home feels a little too quiet right now, our love for animals hasn’t changed. I am opening our hearts and home on Rover to give other pets the same dedicated, high-quality care, comfort, and affection we gave our own. I have long backgrounds (30+ years) of dog ownership. I have attended many training courses (e.g., Sit Means Sit) and have full comprehension for the theory and application of training principles. I live in a child-free and pet-free home - your dog would would be my sole guest. My home is completely tiled on the first floor and accident proof. My home is fully dog-proofed for safety, quiet, and secure. My backyard is ample and unfenced, so we would provide regular, leashed access outside for potty breaks and walks as desired/appropriate. Dogs can expect to spend most time inside in the air-conditioning with access to the outdoors as needed/desired. I are not a farm, etc., where your pet would be primarily outside. I live in a wonderful, quiet, gated community. Several of my previous pets had special needs, requirements, etc., so I fully understand how critical those needs are. Whether your pup is an energetic fetch enthusiast, a senior dog who prefers slow strolls and cozy naps, or a dog with food allergies or specific dietary concerns, we follow your routine to the letter—including strict feeding and medication schedules. I would love to meet you and your fur baby! Feel free to reach out to schedule a Meet & Greet so I can ensure we’re the perfect fit for your dog's needs. I am available for long weekends only at this point - Friday through Sunday. If needed drop off also available Thursday evenings after 7pm. Pet care during this time would be my 100% focus. We have a large 2-story home in a safe, quiet, gated community. Our previous dog (Blue, the Great Dane) had severe allergies and strict dietary restrictions, so our home is dog-proofed, our yard is well-manicured to minimize allergens tracked inside, and the entire first floor is tiled in case of accidents. We are child and pet free - your pet would be our sole guest and 100% focus.
“Linda took care of Charlie and Gus for 12 days. When we picked them up they were healthy and happy! She kept us informed and sent pictures and we will definitely book again. Thanks Linda! Great job!”
“Luke was the first provider for our 2 years old high energy standard doodle and we could not be happier on how the overall experience turned out! Archibold was perfectly cared of, Luke was really responsive and he gave us a lot of updates! We will book him again!”
“Karla and Victor we're great! They were so nice and very communicative. Their house was very clean and they their fenced backyard was perfect for the dogs to play in. We will definitely use them again!”
“If I could give Kimberly a thousand stars, I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She was absolutely amazing with Diesel. From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and it was so easy to see how happy, comfortable, and loved he was. 🥹❤️ Diesel was treated like part of the family lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and even some extra couch privileges 😂. Knowing he was being so well cared for allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about him. I’m so grateful we found Kimberly and would absolutely trust her with Diesel again. I couldn’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️”
“Catherine was incredible! She made us feel comfortable right away and was extremely transparent about her space, schedule and her ability to care for our dog. You can tell that she truly loves dogs by the way that she allows them to settle in on their own terms. She doesn’t push anything with dogs, and that allows them to fully be comfortable and trusting with her. We have a bit of a finicky and anxious dog so sometimes it’s hard to find the right fit, but kathryn was definitely it! In fact, we are booking her again in three days for a long weekend. Rest assured that she will take great care of your pet.”
“Douglania was amazing! I needed a place last minute and Douglania was super communicative and her house is perfectly set up for dogs! She was a very reasonable rate and sent lots of check ins. This was my first time using Rover instead of big doggie daycare/ boarding facilities and I will surely have Finn stay with Douglania again soon!”
