“Mini seemed to really enjoy the stay. She fell asleep almost immediately in the car on the way home. Ricardo also sent videos, which gave me peace of mind and made me feel very comfortable leaving her. I truly appreciated the care and communication. We’ll definitely reach out again the next time we’re in Orlando.”
“Carly is the best! Great communication and I loved getting daily updates with lots of pictures. I know my dog had the best time. I would highly recommend Carly and will be using her again!”
“Ámbar has been an absolute blessing for Max and me! Her attentive and caring demeanor towards Max during her dog-sitting service truly sets her apart. Max, my beloved Collie, was in the best hands. Ámbar's genuine love for animals shines through in the way she interacted with Max. She ensured he was happy and well taken care of. I was consistently updated with adorable pictures and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Ámbar's responsible and dependable nature is truly commendable. If you're seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog-sitter, look no further than Ámbar. She's a gem, and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care she provided for Max.”
“Gandalf had an amazing time with Brooke! She kept us updated daily with pictures and videos. It was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone and she made me feel at ease. If I ever have to board my cat again, I’ll definitely be using this app with Brooke. She was just awesome through the whole experience.”
“Jesse took good care of our girl Bella, our 3 year chocolate Labrador, you can tell she had a great time as she was exhausted when she came back home. Jesse kept sending us pictures every single day which gave us piece of mind. We’ll definitely become repeat customers. Bella came back home with a beautiful bandana, thank you Jesse!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and I am so thankful I used Zachary’s services. He was so attentive and provided amazing updates, photos, and videos of my puppy. He was super flexible when my flight was delayed. I will definitely be rebooking with Zach and his family.”
“Jennifer was great with my dog, Ginger and communicating with me on how she was doing while I was away on travel. I would definitely book again and recommend her!”
“Nathalia was great, kept us well informed with pics and updates every day! Aiko enjoyed himself and looks forward to staying with Nathalia and her family again in the future ❤️”
“Michelle was very kind and communicative throughout Edward’s stay. He had some problems with a puppy at her house and she handled it perfectly and made me feel comfortable about the situation.”
“Cowboy had a great first stay with Dana & Jared! Dana sent daily updates with lots of pictures of Cowboy settling in while in their home and out exploring during their walks. I loved seeing him become more comfortable in each update. It is great to know he is well-cared for in a safe environment while I am away.”
“Honestly, absolutely amazing experience with these two! Our girl has anxiety and Ginny and Tom went above and beyond to make her comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“We needed a last minute sitter for our anxious pup and Marti was fantastic! We are always so nervous to leave our dog but after our meet and greet, we knew she’d be in good hands. Throughout the stay, Marti was great at communicating and sending pictures! I would absolutely choose Marti to watch our dog again!”
About: I am a local school teacher with a lifelong passion for animals. I’ve always been an animal lover and have had a variety of pets including dogs, cats, snakes, bearded dragons, and leopard geckos. Up until two year’s ago, I’ve always had at least one dog in my home and am very familiar with senior dog care, including administering any medications needed. Coming home to a dog is one of the BEST feelings and I’ve been missing it since my dog passed. Rest assured, your dog will get so much LOVE, SNUGGLES, PLAYTIME, and PETS during their stay. For years, I have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, frequently managing long-term house sits and care routines that last multiple weeks at a time. Your furry family member will be in safe, responsible, and highly reliable hands. I have a 6 year old who is familiar with big dogs and loves to join in the fun and responsibility of taking care of a fur baby. He LOVES to snuggle just as much as I do! We have a large fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood, and dog park just down the street. My teaching schedule is a massive perk for your pet! Because my school day wraps up early, I am home by mid-afternoon and fully available for the rest of the day. My routine allows me to provide consistent, structured care, including early evening walks, plenty of playtime, and endless couch cuddles. As an educator, I naturally bring patience, clear communication, and a calm environment to my pet sitting. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam or just a warm lap to snooze on while I prep lessons, I tailor my care to their specific routine. I look forward to giving your pet a fun, safe, and stress-free stay! As a school teacher, my life runs on a highly structured, predictable schedule, which is perfect for pets! Because my school day starts and ends early, your pet will enjoy a consistent routine every single day. My mornings begin early, allowing plenty of time for a morning potty break or short walk before I head to school. I am out of the house during standard school hours, but because teachers get out earlier than standard corporate employees, I am back home by mid-afternoon around 3:30 pm. Once I am home, my evening belongs completely to your pet. The rest of my day is dedicated to long afternoon walks, playtime, and couch cuddles while I grade papers or prep lessons and play with my 6 year old son in our backyard. My weekends are completely free and dedicated entirely to pet care. Additionally, during school breaks (summer, spring break, and winter holidays), my availability opens up 24/7, making me a perfect match for your long-term vacation needs! As a school teacher and a parent to a gentle, animal-loving 6-year-old, our home runs on structure, kindness, and clear boundaries. We love hosting furry guests and treat them like members of our own family! Because of my background in education and parenting, safety is my absolute top priority. My 6-year-old has been thoroughly taught how to properly interact with dogs, respect their space, and read their body language. We practice "active supervision," meaning your pet and my child are never left unattended together. In the past 3 years we have lost both our dogs (2 large catahoula leopard dogs). My son grew up around them and has learned how to care for pets. We have missed having a dog in our house and are eager to care for tour dog and give them all the love. Your dog will get the best of both worlds here: an eager, fun playmate in my child, and a calm, reliable routine with me. After we all get home in the mid-afternoon, our evenings are filled with backyard play, neighborhood walks, and cozy family time. If your dog loves children, they will feel like they are at a premier vacation camp filled with affection and attention! To ensure every stay is stress-free, our home features a fenced yard, baby gates, and a dedicated pet room. If your dog ever needs a quiet break to eat or nap undisturbed, we have dedicated, child-free spaces set up just for them.
“Excellent care takers for my senior German ❤️ received updates every day, videos and pictures, she knew how to comfort my German when he did not want to eat his food. If ever in the area of Orlando, I would definitely book with Yaine again and definitely recommend her!!”
“Renna is Amazing dog sitter!She takes excellent care of our Koko kept us updated throughout the stay, and made us feel completely at ease. Koko was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely book her again and again . Renna and her beautiful daughter are so sweet love them both”
“This was our third time using Rover, and once again, it was a great experience! We left Zeus with Nathaniel, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave him. He is very kind and friendly, and he made both of us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Nathaniel is reliable, responsible, and honest—everything you could hope for when leaving your pet with someone. He treated our furry friend like his own, which we truly appreciated. A big plus is that he’s located very close to the airport, which made drop-off and pick-up super easy and convenient on our way home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would definitely leave our big dog with him again!”
“Second time watching our pup and we love her! Get lots of updates and we see our dog isn't just cared for, but they actually enjoy having her around. Highly recommend”

About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and taking care of family/friend's pets over the years.I am a reliable, caring, communicative, and punctual pet sitter that you can trust! I currently take care of my boyfriend's 14 yr old dog named Scarlett, we walk every evening and spend a lot of quality time together especially on my days off. I like to show pets love by giving them a good balance of affection, exercise, and fun.... and I hope I can help do that for yours! I ensure that my pets are fed, hydrated, and walked throughout the day. I love to play with them and their toys so that they feel happy and satisfied.
“Nina was phenomenal with my fur-babies. One of my cats was having a mid-life crisis that weekend and was not very nice to her, yet, she managed to make it work and I really appreciate her for that. Thank you for taking such good care of Moo Moo and Mito 😻”
“I'm impressed with how much care went into my time away from home. Amanda went above and beyond. I truly appreciate the effort she put into my animals and home while I was away. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She's also a wonderful communicator.”
“Very solid guy, showed me where my cat would be staying and took pictures and sent me them almost daily since I was out of the country; my cat clearly was calm and cared for the entire time and came back healthy and happy! Would definitely use as a service again”
“Jennifer was incredibly sweet and thoughtful when watching my cat while I was away for the weekend! I received photos and videos every day while I was away and she made sure to give her play time with catnip and toys and plenty of affection that she needed. Jennifer is highly educated and passionate about caring for animals. I won't hesitate to request her again :)”
“Thank you for taking care of the cats, Shirley. Your detailed report and many pictures showed you took great care of them. My mind is always at ease when I go out of town! Thank you!!”
“The absolute sweetest, took such great care of our cats while we were away last minute! Great communication and leaves a ton of photos and notes for us everyday. Would highly recommend 💕”

“Athena was great! She seems to truly enjoy animals and took fantastic care of our 4 cats, including an elderly cat that requires twice-a-day meds. 100% recommended and we will have her look after our cats again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Noelani! She took the best care of our cat Waffles while we were away for a week. Waffles is super social and loves human company, and Noelani went above and beyond - spending quality time with him, sending us thoughtful updates with pictures and videos, and giving him all the snuggles and lap time he loves. We told her he’s a fan of chin scratches, brushing, and Churu treats - and she made sure he got all that and more. Seeing photos of him happily curled up on her lap, kneading and purring, made us feel so at ease. She even visited on his birthday and brought him a special treat. We were blown away by her thoughtfulness. It was such a relief knowing Waffles was in kind, capable, cat-loving hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty - and we feel so lucky to have found Noelani. Waffles can’t wait to hang out with her again!”
“Maria was AMAZING, took great care of our two beloved dogs. Bella and Brady were let out, fed, and played with, over the Christmas season which was a huge blessing. Maria was friendly, professional, and a caring dog sitter. 10/10 would recommend and rebook with her. Thank you so much Maria!”
About: I have loved animals all my life and have a genuine rapport with them. My clients become friends and keep me as their most trusted sitter for years. I would love to help you with your furry loved ones too! I am a retired Physical Therapist Assistant and after taking care of people for years now I really want to just take care of animals. They calm my soul and fill my heart with their unconditional love. I enjoy taking doggies for walks, or sitting with a kitty on my lap. My best memories involve somebody with four legs! ;o) I will stay in your home and care for all your needs while I am there. All pet care needs as well as watering plants, mail/package collecting, home security, whatever needs attention. I will leave your home clean and well respected. I have never had a dissatisfied client, and my integrity is one thing I bring with me everywhere I go.
“Erin was great with my high energy dog, Bodie. He enjoys her mid-day visits and the positive attention. She was flexible with a last minute booking when my other sitter had an emergency pop up and is awesome to work with.”
“Our cats spend the week being lovingly looked after by Katelyn. She did exactly what we asked her to do to take care of our babies, coming on schedule to feed and cuddle them. Katelyn also stayed in contact with us, letting us know what she was doing each time she was with the cats.”
“Charles was such a sweetheart the entire process! I got regular check-ins and my dog and cat were happy to meet him and well taken care of while I was away. Thanks again for all your help!”

“Ms. Maria was awesome with King doesn't take to people easily. She made me feel comfortable with leaving him with her. She sent pictures to show that he was safe.

About: I have 18 years of experience caring for pets and truly love what I do. I previously worked at the PetSmart Hotel, where I handled boarding, playtime, and daily routines for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also have experience as a pet groomer, so I’m comfortable with baths, brushing, and making pets feel their best. From energetic puppies to older, mellow dogs, I know how to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every animal like family and create a calm, fun, and positive environment they’ll enjoy coming back to. Pet care is my full-time job, so your furry friend will receive constant attention, love, and personalized care throughout the day. I’m available 7 days a week, including for overnight stays for boarding. Whether your pup needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I’ll be there to make sure they feel safe and happy. Your pet will never be left alone for long and will enjoy a calm, consistent, and loving home environment — day and night. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel right at home. I live in a spacious apartment with a private patio, plus we have access to a secure, on-site dog park with fresh water available at all times, and a dog spa for relaxing baths when needed. Pets in my care are never left unsupervised for long, and I follow any feeding, walking, and playtime routines you provide. I always do slow, supervised introductions if there are other pets around, and I take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and preferences. You’ll receive regular photo updates, and I’m always available for check-ins or quick messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“We had a great experience with Ambar! Our pup was taken care of, cuddled, and played with and we got frequent updates and pictures throughout the day! 100% will come back!”
About: Hi my name is Kristin. I've had dogs since the day I was born. I've never not had a dog in my home. I have a dog named FeFe and 3 Cats named Yuki, Snickers and Kit Cat, at the moment. I love animals in general. I've had numerous animals over the years. I've bottle fed kittens and puppies. I've potty trained and have taken care of 3 puppies of my own. I've taken care of senior dogs. Some of my own and I am comfortable administering medication to senior or any age dog. I previously worked as a preschool teacher, so I understand the importance of patience, routines, safety and creating a calm, loving environment. I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, this is my job, and I absolutely it, which allows me to give plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and supervision. I can accommodate feeding routines, medication schedules and cuddle time to help your dog feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I do not take dogs on walks though. I have a very large backyard and they get plenty of playtime and potty breaks. They can run and play several times a day. I will also not be doing late at night pickup ups or drop offs. Please make other arrangements. Thank you. All pick up or drop offs at my home, must be done by 7:45 p.m. ***I do also require a mandatory meet and greet, if you live within 45 minutes to an hour of my area.*** Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As I mentioned before, I have a large fenced in backyard. I will be with all dogs, at all times in the backyard. I pay close attention to each pet's routine, personality and needs to help them feel safe and comfortable while in my care and away from your home. I supervise pets closely, provide regular potty breaks, fresh water, feeding on schedule, playtime and plenty of affection. My goal is to create a trustworthy environment, where pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are safe, happy and well cared for. Whether your dog likes cuddles on the couch or wants to just lay on the floor and relax, they can surely do that here.
“Iliana and her family took wonderful care of our two dogs! We needed someone to watch them last minute while we went to Epcot for the day and luckily Iliana was available. She provided pictures throughout the day, was very flexible, and the pups had a great time! 100% recommend”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Luna. I felt so good about leaving my deaf dog with her. She kept me updated throughout the day. I will definitely have Luna come back to see Rachel again!”

“We had the best experience for our puppies! We were visiting from Georgia and decided to pit stop for the day at Magic Kingdom! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppies! We will definitely use again!”
“Absolutely amazing!! She sent tons of photos and videos of my little one throughout the day. You could tell that he was just getting showered in attention and love. She even took him on a walk throughout the day and confirmed that he ate all of his dinner. On top of that she was available last minute!! My prior sitter had something come up and I found Savannah with just a couple hours before I had to leave. It's awesome that she was such a great sitter and was able to work with us for a last minute all day doggy day care. I couldn't recommend her more. 🙂”

I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats, adapting to their different personalities.

I work as a Medical Assistant from Monday to Friday until 5:00 PM, so I have full availability for evening walks and night visits during the week. Weekends are my days off and I have full availability for day care or long stays (boarding). My work in the health area makes me an extremely punctual and organized person with food and medicine schedules.

About: I’m a 32-year-old professional with a flexible schedule. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have had pets for most of my life. Right now, I share my home with a cat I adopted while living in Philadelphia. Ask me anything! I work remotely from my apartment and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available most of the time. I just need a couple of hours’ notice to plan my day around it, but overall, I’m very flexible! I live in a spacious and comfortable apartment with my cat. While we don’t have a fenced garden, there’s a nearby trail where I go for a walk every morning.

About: Hi! I’m a dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve cared for friends and family dogs on multiple occasions and have experience helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions to make sure your pup feels as comfortable as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment for your pet. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll care for your dog with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for evening walks and drop-in visits after work. On weekends, I have much more flexibility, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to pet sitting and making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and companionship. I’ll always do my best to follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I live in a dog-friendly apartment community with access to a fenced dog park and plenty of areas for walks. I also have two other roommates who are comfortable around dogs and help create a welcoming environment. When caring for dogs in my home, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and loving space where they can stick to their normal routine as much as possible.

About: I’ve had many pets from dogs and cats to a bird, turtle, and hedgehog. I’ve been determined to play with all of them, even the fish! I also have experience with elderly dogs. Mine actually passed recently of cancer so spoon feeding and an abundance of cuddles is normal to me. Im currently doing school online while at home caring from my grandparents so my schedule is pretty open and any excuse to be outside is a plus! I have two cats and a big backyard!! One cat is really sweet and friendly and the other is scared of everything but completely harmless. In a clients home, I promise i’m a good guest:)
“Tanisha is really wonderful. She knows rescue animals and understands how to work through their fears and how to approach them. She also brings in any packages on my porch when she comes for walks and cleaned up a giant mess my Yorkie made when she knocked my plant over and decided to go sledding in the potting soil 🤦🏼♀️”
“Jennifer is a great pet sitter, she es very sweet, reliable and very good taking care of my dog Leela. When I come back from my vacations my dog is always happy and calm. I will definitely book her again to take care of my Leela.”
“Shirley is amazing! Always sends lots of pictures and cares for my dog like her own. Layla is always so excited to see her and I can go to work without having to worry. Definitely recommend :)”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I truly enjoy caring for pets and treating each one as if they were my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I love giving pets the attention, affection, and comfort they need to feel at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility to heart. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide in-home care in a calm, comfortable environment, always centered around your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Because some pups do best with one-on-one attention, single-client care is available by request, depending on my schedule. This option allows me to focus exclusively on your pet, with no shared stays and truly dedicated attention. If single-client care sounds like a good fit for your pet, feel free to mention it in your booking request and I’m happy to share availability and details. I’m always happy to answer questions and make sure we’re a great fit. I work from home with flexibility in my schedule, which makes it easy to support frequent potty breaks, long walks, and plenty of cuddles—whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and loved. I have a large screened-in back patio and a fully fenced backyard. Our patio includes a doggy door, so pets can safely move between indoor and outdoor spaces at their leisure.
“Came with fairly short notice to walk our dog. Prompt, highly communicative, friendly and considerate. Birdie really likes her as well! You can tell she really loves animals and wants to keep them happy and safe. She treats them like they are her own. Highly recommend!”
About: Besides taking care of my own precious miniature schnauzer growing up, I have looked over dogs for several families for the past 10+ years with services including boarding, walks, visits and doggy day care for all kinds of breeds. I had to be inactive on rover for a couple of years due to moving but happy to be back! I have also worked as a receptionist/assistant at a Veterinary clinic where I interacted and looked over many different breeds that passed through or stayed over night. During this time I also learned a lot about how to assist dogs with medical issues and important signs of needing urgent care. I have a deep love for all kinds of animals, dogs (& cats!) especially, and would be more than happy to take care of your furry friends just as I would my own! I am more than happy to answer any questions that you may have and will always make sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well looked after :) I can adjust my schedule to their wake up/meal times as well. On the weekends, I can take them out to dog friendly spaces if that is something they enjoy 😊 Before any stay, I make sure everything is set up for your pup’s arrival and try to make them as comfortable as possible. I have a dog gate to prevent them from getting out or from going anywhere I can’t keep an eye on them. For stays or visits, I don’t take any dog out off leash for walks and I make sure to put on their leash securely before opening the door. If they will be left alone for any reason, I will generally place them in their crate for their safety unless you are comfortable with them being out. I currently work part time and am usually home all day on Mondays and Fridays, and most of the day on weekends. I'm able to adjust my schedule to accommodate your pets routine better and would also be able to take them with me sometimes!

If they will be left alone for any reason, I will generally place them in their crate for their safety unless you are comfortable with them being out. As a note, I live in a second floor apartment with my boyfriend (also a huge dog lover that has grown up with dogs). There are stairs and elevator if it is hard for your pup to get up the stairs. We also have a patio that has a pretty high railing, so it is safe, but if I bring your pup out there then they would be leashed and accompanied at all times to ensure their safety.

“Mini seemed to really enjoy the stay. She fell asleep almost immediately in the car on the way home. Ricardo also sent videos, which gave me peace of mind and made me feel very comfortable leaving her. I truly appreciated the care and communication. We’ll definitely reach out again the next time we’re in Orlando.”
“Carly is the best! Great communication and I loved getting daily updates with lots of pictures. I know my dog had the best time. I would highly recommend Carly and will be using her again!”
“Jesse took good care of our girl Bella, our 3 year chocolate Labrador, you can tell she had a great time as she was exhausted when she came back home. Jesse kept sending us pictures every single day which gave us piece of mind. We’ll definitely become repeat customers. Bella came back home with a beautiful bandana, thank you Jesse!”
“Jennifer was great with my dog, Ginger and communicating with me on how she was doing while I was away on travel. I would definitely book again and recommend her!”
“Michelle was very kind and communicative throughout Edward’s stay. He had some problems with a puppy at her house and she handled it perfectly and made me feel comfortable about the situation.”
“Cowboy had a great first stay with Dana & Jared! Dana sent daily updates with lots of pictures of Cowboy settling in while in their home and out exploring during their walks. I loved seeing him become more comfortable in each update. It is great to know he is well-cared for in a safe environment while I am away.”
“We needed a last minute sitter for our anxious pup and Marti was fantastic! We are always so nervous to leave our dog but after our meet and greet, we knew she’d be in good hands. Throughout the stay, Marti was great at communicating and sending pictures! I would absolutely choose Marti to watch our dog again!”
About: I am a local school teacher with a lifelong passion for animals. I’ve always been an animal lover and have had a variety of pets including dogs, cats, snakes, bearded dragons, and leopard geckos. Up until two year’s ago, I’ve always had at least one dog in my home and am very familiar with senior dog care, including administering any medications needed. Coming home to a dog is one of the BEST feelings and I’ve been missing it since my dog passed. Rest assured, your dog will get so much LOVE, SNUGGLES, PLAYTIME, and PETS during their stay. For years, I have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, frequently managing long-term house sits and care routines that last multiple weeks at a time. Your furry family member will be in safe, responsible, and highly reliable hands. I have a 6 year old who is familiar with big dogs and loves to join in the fun and responsibility of taking care of a fur baby. He LOVES to snuggle just as much as I do! We have a large fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood, and dog park just down the street. My teaching schedule is a massive perk for your pet! Because my school day wraps up early, I am home by mid-afternoon and fully available for the rest of the day. My routine allows me to provide consistent, structured care, including early evening walks, plenty of playtime, and endless couch cuddles. As an educator, I naturally bring patience, clear communication, and a calm environment to my pet sitting. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam or just a warm lap to snooze on while I prep lessons, I tailor my care to their specific routine. I look forward to giving your pet a fun, safe, and stress-free stay! As a school teacher, my life runs on a highly structured, predictable schedule, which is perfect for pets! Because my school day starts and ends early, your pet will enjoy a consistent routine every single day. My mornings begin early, allowing plenty of time for a morning potty break or short walk before I head to school. I am out of the house during standard school hours, but because teachers get out earlier than standard corporate employees, I am back home by mid-afternoon around 3:30 pm. Once I am home, my evening belongs completely to your pet. The rest of my day is dedicated to long afternoon walks, playtime, and couch cuddles while I grade papers or prep lessons and play with my 6 year old son in our backyard. My weekends are completely free and dedicated entirely to pet care. Additionally, during school breaks (summer, spring break, and winter holidays), my availability opens up 24/7, making me a perfect match for your long-term vacation needs! As a school teacher and a parent to a gentle, animal-loving 6-year-old, our home runs on structure, kindness, and clear boundaries. We love hosting furry guests and treat them like members of our own family! Because of my background in education and parenting, safety is my absolute top priority. My 6-year-old has been thoroughly taught how to properly interact with dogs, respect their space, and read their body language. We practice "active supervision," meaning your pet and my child are never left unattended together. In the past 3 years we have lost both our dogs (2 large catahoula leopard dogs). My son grew up around them and has learned how to care for pets. We have missed having a dog in our house and are eager to care for tour dog and give them all the love. Your dog will get the best of both worlds here: an eager, fun playmate in my child, and a calm, reliable routine with me. After we all get home in the mid-afternoon, our evenings are filled with backyard play, neighborhood walks, and cozy family time. If your dog loves children, they will feel like they are at a premier vacation camp filled with affection and attention! To ensure every stay is stress-free, our home features a fenced yard, baby gates, and a dedicated pet room. If your dog ever needs a quiet break to eat or nap undisturbed, we have dedicated, child-free spaces set up just for them.
“This was our third time using Rover, and once again, it was a great experience! We left Zeus with Nathaniel, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave him. He is very kind and friendly, and he made both of us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Nathaniel is reliable, responsible, and honest—everything you could hope for when leaving your pet with someone. He treated our furry friend like his own, which we truly appreciated. A big plus is that he’s located very close to the airport, which made drop-off and pick-up super easy and convenient on our way home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would definitely leave our big dog with him again!”
“Second time watching our pup and we love her! Get lots of updates and we see our dog isn't just cared for, but they actually enjoy having her around. Highly recommend”
“Can’t say enough good things about Douglas. He’s so accommodating and thoughtful. Our dog is a bit of a diva and Douglas was patient and understanding. I received regular updates and excellent progress reports. We love this guy!”
“Veronica was AMAZING with my two dogs when I needed to board them for a few days. She communicated every day with feedback regarding their overall well being, playtime, eating habits, and mood. And she included pictures as well. She treated my dogs like family and gave them a lot of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“This was our first time boarding our pup and he seemed like he really loved it there. I love that there is a fenced in BIG yard for the pups to run around and have freedom to play around. The whole family was amazing from beginning to end. Booking, drop off and pick up were a breeze. They sent pictures, videos and updates of our pup multiple times a day so we always had peace of mind while we were out of town. They even went the extra mile and gave our pup a little pup medal for good behavior which I thought was the most adorable thing ever. Highly recommend this family for boarding your fur babies! 10/10!”
“Dolly had a great time! Good communication throughout her visit and she always looked happy! Photos and videos are always appreciated and they did a great job with that as well! Will book again”
“Victor goes way beyond great service, he sends pictures everyday with messages and also has well prepare house where you can see your pet will be safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend victor to anyone!”
“Naya was very good! She was communicative, very responsive, sent us pictures, and was flexible with our schedule. She also checked for our vaccine records for Ruby which made me feel safe that she does it for other dogs that she cares for. Most important, our dog had a great time!”
“5x100 is what I give April for taking such amazing care of my fur baby. I was anxious leaving my pup for a few days but April kept me updated and sent photos. I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch and love your pup like you would.”
