“Jelisa was absolutely amazing! She got my super shy & anxious Dachshund to come of out his shell and interact with her fur babies comfortably and was very attentive to his needs. Will absolutely be booking again!”
“MacKenzie was very warm and friendly! My mother's Husky loved being there with MacKenzie! She took very good care of our doggo. She is an okder dog who is also incontinent so she needed more attention than other dogs. We really appreciate MacKenzie and will use her going forward when we vacation!”
“Heather and her husband were so patient with Miley when she developed an unexpected bout of separation anxiety. She and her family went above and beyond to help Miley settle in. I'm grateful for the updates she provided - Miley clearly had fun with other dogs and kids around. I highly recommend Heather and her family to others looking for exceptional care for your pets.”
“Judith took such GOOD care of our fur baby!!! She went above and beyond. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, she gave our dog multiple baths because she was shedding, and she even got her some itch spray because she started itching while we were away. Judith was also very flexible with our needs before and during our dog’s stay. Can’t say enough great things and highly recommend!”
“Our One and a half year old puppy stayed with Jessica for a week. Jessica daily kept us posted on how he was doing And also shared his pictures with us. Will definitely use her services in the future, highly recommend!”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“Boarding your dog with Lisa is unlike most sitters you'll find on Rover. While I have no doubt everyone on here loves dogs, Lisa has the advantage of huge piece of land and other dogs to play with. For me this was perfect since Ox is full of energy and grew up in a pack. Highly recommended if this sounds appealing to you and your doggies.”
“Kristine was an excellent host to our little Olive. She gave us photo updates and took great care of her. When we're back in the area, we'd definitely use Kristine again! :-)”
“Cynthia and her husband were amazing. Kept us up to date, and we’re available to us even at the last minute. They took great care of our dogs and have a very amazing pup themselves. My pups came back happy energetic. Great communication and fast replies.”
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I currently care for both a large dog and a small Chihuahua, so I understand their different needs. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, medications, and providing plenty of love and companionship. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and potty breaks. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can follow your pet’s regular routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide close supervision, keep doors and gates secure, and carefully follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions. I can also separate pets during meals or rest time when needed.

“Emily was an amazing help with my chickens! it was a bit of an odd request, but she handled them great sent pictures and communicated thoroughly. i would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of many animals. I have 7 doggies and 2 cats most of them being rescues. I occasionally dog sit for my neighbors. I’m currently working a part time job so I have lots of time to take care of your fur baby! I am available any day of the week. I do not plan to board any animals just to be safe because I have too many doggies at home. but I love every dog like it’s my own and will make sure I am there for all its needs.
About: I have raised and cared for families, friends 🧡, and even coworkers' pets. Growing up, I always enjoyed watching veterinarians help our farm animals. My mother taught us about natural remedies we could find in nature to help cure or heal us over time. One memorable experience was when I saved a beloved cat from what we believed was antifreeze poisoning. Drawing on what I learned from my family and my work, I created activated charcoal using black coal from the fireplace. I mixed the powdered charcoal with warm milk and carefully forced it down my little cat's throat. Thankfully, I was able to save my cat, Taco 🌮 😺, who went on to live for many more happy years.
“It was our first time leaving our 2 cats alone for more than 24 hours and we needed help fast. Coreena came through for us and handled the visits like a pro, giving us much needed piece of mind. Now we can plan more trips! Thanks Coreena.”
About: Growing up I always wanted to be a veterinarian due to the love and compassion I had for all types of animals. Due to my environment the only animals besides those of nature that I was around were mainly cats and dogs. I took that to my advantage and spent every moment possibly with any cat or dog I could get my hands on. There were always stray litters of kittens and I made sure to always find them and bring them home. We took care of them and rehomed them. It may have drove my mother batty, but she knew I cared for every animal I met and had to do this. Fast forward to adulthood, I still scream like a child inside whenever I see a cat or dog… which yes happens to be a lot. I own two of my own German shepherds and two cats. My parents have always had small dogs so I am used to dogs of all sizes. I am currently a stay at home mom needing to find a job that will be rewarding work to me and help me support my family I have two separated fenced yards and a cozy bedroom inside. If kid friendly, they will be allowed to roam and hangout in our dog friendly home. If they are not friendly with my dogs I will make sure my dogs are kept separate as your fur babies will be my first priority always. They will be allowed to be outdoors with access to indoors whenever they would like. Fresh water and food provided always. Treats with permission. If staying overnight, they will be crated in the bedroom next to mine. If friendly and potty trained, they may roam at night.
About: I've had 2 cats and have always loved cats since I was a little kid. I got my very first one when I was 12 years old, then I got my second cat at 18 and have taken care of both since. I have also gone and taken care of my friends cats for them while they were on vacation.

I am self employed and work my own schedule so I can care for your pet Friday -Tuesdays 9am-3pm. Different days or later hours can be arranged with at least a weeks notice. I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.
About: I love dogs. I have been doing drop-ins and dog walking for two years. I got on Rover just recently. The time I spend on a drop-in or walk with your dog is 100% about them. Love is always a two-way street with dogs, and I enjoy bonding with them and caring for them. I work for myself so I have flexibility I just need a day's notice to set up a home visit. I enjoy walking and am walking everyday and would enjoy walking your dog. I currently do visits to the dogs place of residence and I accommodate whatever the particular dog is accustomed to in a loving way. It is very important to me that the dog feels comfortable where they're at as well as with me. This hasn't ever been an issue.
