“I would recommend Carrie. She was great at communicating and sharing updates about our dog,Winnie’s, visit. Carie made Winnie feel right at home from the first moment of meeting her. Winnie had a great week with Carrie!”
“Stephanie and crew watched my 2 dogs for 2 weeks while I was handling a family emergency. I had to extend their stay once and she was incredibly flexible and even bought them more dog food so that they could stay longer. She sent pictures and videos every day. They had a ton of fun with her. I would rebook in a heartbeat.”
“Nancy & Stan not only took my booking very last minute, but were so kind and gracious throughout the entire experience. They truly exude such warmth and my pup loved them so quickly for being strangers and I think that says a lot! Great communication and feedback the entire trip and they gave our girl lots of love and walks. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for her.”
“Beth was fantastic! Great at communicating and very kind and accommodating. Our Maggie was provided with lots of great play space and love and care! Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Jaime was amazing!! Pictures all the time!!! The dogs had so much playtime!! They weren’t just stuffed in a kennel till we got back. 10/10 would recommend amazing experience!”
“Jake and Caroline were amazing! Franklin had such a great time and came home worn out and happy! Couldn’t ask for a better Rover experience! We will definitely book with them again 😊”
“Brandi & her family took great care of my pup over the holidays! Brandi was very communicative, sent lots of photos and was accommodating when I had changes in booking dates/times. I’d be happy to reach out for boarding needs in the future !”
“Our golden retriever always feels right at home at what we’ve now dubbed “Aunt Kristen’s”. I think he gets a little sad when he comes home because he loves playing with the other pups so much! We are so thankful for a dependable sitter and drive 30 minutes just for the love Kristen and family provides!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Parker was excellent at taking over the care of my dog after she was hit by a car. Very good communication, attended to her medication and observant of her behaviour after head trauma diagnosis.”
“If there was a way to leave 10 STARS I would. Kaylyn was great with my toy poodle. I got pictures and videos of my dog enjoying her days playing, relaxing on the couch, and having a lazy day sunning. Ginger was just as comfortable and happy with her as she is at home. I had no worries or concerns and was able to enjoy my vacation. I will be using Kaylyn again, it’s home away from home. Thank you!”
“Great experience boarding my boy for the weekend! I’m somewhat of a helicopter mom because one of my dogs was attacked previously, but Jaxen seemed very knowledgeable about canine behavior which is something I highly value. She responded to texts quickly and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. He also looked so happy in the photos from his stay!”
“Our puppy Buzz had great time with Malia.Her adorable and friendly pup Wiskey provided a great company to our pupper and he was super happy and exhausted playing all day by the time we brought him back home??!Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for daycare/boarding.”
“Angela is a supersitter! She was so kind and caring with our dogs and really went the extra mile, throwing frisbee to our Aussie and loving on our cavapoo! She is a genuine animal liver who treats your pets like her own! We will definitely rebook. Thanks, Angela!”
“Crista took such good care of Bella. She is very loving and sent me plenty of updates and pictures. It is plain to see that she really cares about the well being of her guests. Thank you Crista!”
“Oh my gosh! Pam is amazing with Jack. She really makes him feel at home and comfortable and that makes me feel so grateful. Jack is such a good soul and deserves lots of love and attention, which we found in Pam. Than you Pam!”

“Cortney was perfect in her care for my fur baby. Being able to have two visits for my little Katya set my mind at ease as it was a longer trip than I would have normally taken. Katya got quality play time in, pets and snuggled, and fed the appropriate amount of food each day. Water and litter box were perfectly maintained. I am so happy I found Cortney and I will absolutely retain her pet sitting services in the future! Thank you, Cortney!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and I am used to caring for them on a daily basis. I am currently living with a roommate who has an adorable cocker spaniel that I help take care of. She is not comfortable with other dogs so I will come to your sweet fur babies. This also helps minimize disruptions in their routines. I have experience with dogs who need to take daily pills and feel comfortable handling medications. I am free on weekends to care for your animals, checking in on them or spending full days with them while you are gone. During the week I work full time but would love to hang out with them in the evenings. It is important to me to stick with the routine your pets already have in order to make them feel comfortable and at ease while you are gone.
“She was awesome! We needed someone super last minute to help check on our babies during a trip we were taking like 4 days from looking in rover. She sent us pictures and even took cute polaroids of the cats and left them for us to see. We loved having her! Thank you again!”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. My mom gave me my first dog when I was about five years old, and I've had at least one dog by my side ever since. Today, my husband and I share our home with five wonderful dogs who are truly part of our family. They aren't just pets—they're our babies, and we love and care for them as such. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members because I feel the exact same way about my own. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, cuddle on the couch, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. When your dog is in my care, I'll treat them with the same kindness, love, and respect that I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your best friend is being cared for like family. I currently work a full-time 12-hour rotating swing shift, so my availability alternates every other week. One week, I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. The following week, I am available on Wednesday and Thursday. This schedule repeats on a rotating basis. I make every effort to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know when I'm available to care for your pets. At this time, I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services only. Because my husband and I have five dogs of our own, I am unable to provide boarding or in-home care at my residence. My focus is on giving your pets the love, attention, exercise, and care they need in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed.
“Absolutely the best caretakers. Her daughter helped and had such a special bonding. My kitties were loved, cared for, and part of the family. Lots of updates and videos that I really appreciated. Thank you so much!! ❤️”
About: Not only do cats like me, but they even like me after I've given them a bath or a pill. Gentle beings with gentle souls. I love them. 😻 They're all about body language and usually prefer when people are very still at first meeting.
About: Hi, I'm Carley or most know me as Angelina! I have been caring for furry fiends all my life! I have had a several goldens, yorkies, and my current little guy is a german short haired pointer! I absolutely love getting to play, walk, or snuggle with any pet of any size! I definitely believe the saying that a dog is a mans best friend and believe that we should treat our animals as such.I as a fellow dog mom understand how important it is to have someone you can trust watching a member of your family. I believe spending just a few hours with an pet (or human, in their case) can change the whole mood for the day. I am fairly flexible and willing to work with you to make sure your family member is cared for! From walking and check ins, to pet sitting, or even spending your day out with your four legged friend, I know your little friend will be loved and happy in my care. I feel comfortable feeding, playing with, walking, and even taking your pets on outings! My work schedule is a set one, so I can stop by before work, during my lunch break, or after work and anytime during the weekends. If you need something a little bit different let me know and I am happy to accommodate your needs! I have a huge yard that all dogs love to run in and I live in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walking in.
About: Hi! My name is Sammi and I have 12+ years of taking care of all varieties of animals. I currently own 2 dogs (1 aussie and 1 recently rescued great pyreneese) , 2 cats, 4 horses and 2 reptiles of my own. I have worked with rescues, shelters and non-profits in the past so I am skilled in caring for animals with all kinds of needs. I also work from home with a flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate special requests and special needs animals during the week for those that need more attention. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can best help you and your animals! I currently work from home with flexible hours so am available usually from 8am to 8pm each day, with flexibility where needed. I currently walk my own dogs a mile or two every other day, with them being walked on the property every 4 hours for exercise. I live on 8 acres with woods so plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. I currently do not have a fenced in yard, but have multiple tether setups and/or long line leashes to walk dogs on and let them roam a bit while controlled. My 2 dogs are males who are friendly with others and love to play outside in the backyard. Since I am home during the day, all animals get lots of cuddles in my house (allowed on furniture) and constant interaction of bones, toys, tug of war, toys etc. I do have separate areas that dogs can be crated in alone if preferred. I do also have 2 cats that are dog friendly but have their own room they can be closed off in if needed.
“I am so grateful my fur-baby was cared for by Sonia. She was incredible and very communicative! She made my trip worry free with pictures of Nebula every day. 100% would recommend her to all my friends and I would rebook Sonia in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve cared for cats both as a previous cat owner and while pet sitting, and I’m comfortable with cats of all personalities. I understand that some cats enjoy lots of attention while others prefer quiet companionship, and I’m happy to care for them at their own pace. I regularly farm-sit for my stepsister, where I care for both an indoor cat and an outdoor barn cat in addition to her dogs, ducks, and chickens. My responsibilities include feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter, checking on the outdoor cat, providing playtime and affection, and making sure each cat is healthy, safe, and comfortable. Caring for senior dogs, energetic young dogs, giant breed working dogs, cats, and farm animals has made me dependable, observant, and comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing loving, reliable care while you’re away.
“Lacole was thoughtful at every turn during her drop ins and she worked through some of the minor house issues before her first visit with Ash. Thank you so much for having her as an option here on Rover! She is awesome!”
About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when they are out of town. I’m currently working part-time from 4am-8am and I have plenty of free time to give your pet the love that they deserve when you are at work or on vacation. From my house to your house your pet will be loved and taken care of. I love hikes or just seating at home and petting your loved one.
“Lauren did an EXCELLENT job with our pit. We would highly recommend her services to anyone. She took pics of each visit, arrived on time for 7 consecutive days. Great communication skills. 5 Stars from us!”

“This was our first time trying Rover for day care and Beth was perfect. She had a huge fenced in yard for Myles to go out. He usually naps for 3 hours or more a day but he was having too much fun to sleep. When I picked him up, he was worn out. He went home and slept 14 hours. We will be going back to Beth.”
“Stephanie, Patrick, and Colton were amazing. They were flexible with their time, SO great to chat with, and my dog loved his short visit. He’s already asking for more time with his new friends. Thank you thank you thank you!”
About: Hey there! My name is Jen, and I would love to take care of your babies for you! A bit about me: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician of 10+ years, with the majority of my experience being in surgery/anesthesia and working in emergency triage. My husband is a Veterinarian/Surgeon with 25 years under his belt this year. He does not help with care and is not responsible for my clients, but is always available for advice and input. In addition, I am a Certified Feline Behaviorist (think Jackson Galaxy!) and thoroughly enjoy working with feline behavior concerns to help keep cats in their homes. I also have experience with basic level dog training and work with a variety of local clients on basic obedience, potty training, crate training, bite inhibition for puppies, etc. in addition to professional pet sitting, boarding, daycare, and basic grooming, I am capable and available for a variety of veterinary technician services like medication/fluid administration, insulin administration, bandage changes, nail trims, etc. I also have a solid understanding of disease and parasite transmission as well as toxicity exposure/ingestion risks and act accordingly with the pets in my care. I interned for several years at Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI and for a year at Chattanooga Zoo here in TN. My husband did a residency at Montgomery Zoo in Alabama, and we met 10 years ago when we both used to own large reptile breeding businesses, primarily working with a variety of snakes. I have also spent years as a wildlife rehabber, working primarily with rabbits, squirrels, song birds, opossums, and native reptiles. Thus in addition to dogs and cats, I am well-versed in the care and biological needs of practically every species you can think of! In addition to my professional skills, education, and experience, I have immense personal experience -- essentially from the moment I was born. My mother has run a cat rescue in Wisconsin for decades, and my grandfather did the same before her. I also have been rescuing cats for the past 20 years. My parents have always kept a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles, small mammals/pocket pets, and exotics, so I have been immersed in caring for almost every kind of pet you can think of since before I can remember. I also have always had an invisible neon sign above my head that only animals can see, which has made it so that all injured, young, or lost pets and wildlife find their way to me no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- even in Army basic training when I was 20, when I rescued a 10-day-old stray kitten from drowning due to a burst pipe underneath our barracks -- so I have always had animals in my care at any given moment. In our personal lives, we have two children: my 19-year-old son and our 8-year-old daughter, both of whom have been raised in animal rescue, veterinary medicine, pet care and behavior training, etc. and have extensive skills and knowledge of their own which brings me immense pride to see. We have 4 kitties and a Boston Terrier, all of whom are very comfortable with the various visiting pet friends that stay with us. They are also spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, negative for all common communicable diseases, and UTD on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. My boarding pets have spaces away from our pets if necessary, so interaction is not required and separation is just fine! I have never known a life without being surrounded by animals, without my clothes being covered in fur, and without being called to help care for animals in need. It is not just what I do, but who I am, down to my very core, and brings me immense joy and gratification. I cannot begin to express how much I love what I do. I love caring for others' pets and giving them the ability to be loved and well cared for when their own loving parents cannot be with them for whatever reason. I also have frequently helped clients become aware of health concerns within their pets that they may not otherwise notice, then can have their regular DVM evaluate and address it -- ranging from skin allergies to yeast infections in ears to heart murmurs to dental disease. I feel that my career position, my education, my decades of experience, my knowledge, and my skillset, not to mention having my DVM husband handy for advice and knowledge, puts me ahead of most pet caretakers. It ensures that your babies are in the safest and most experienced, well-prepared hands they could possibly be in! I currently work remote from home as an emergency triage technician and am the Manager of Performance, Training, and Team Success for GuardianVets, so I am available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to care for pets in my home. I also have some open availability from 8am to 10pm, so I am able to do drop-ins, potty breaks, feed, scoop litter boxes, change cages/bedding, etc. 2-3 times per day before the final visit for the evening. I can make just about any request work! Care depends on the individual pet, their breed, age, personality and needs, as well as what training and rules their parents have in place for them, and whether they are boarding in my 3600 sq. ft. home or I am caring for them in your home. Pets boarding in my home or coming for Doggy Daycare must be UTD on all core vaccines for their species with verification from their veterinarian. For puppies under 16 weeks of age, they must be UTD with the most recent booster for their age. All puppies under 16 weeks or puppies who have not yet completed all 4 vaccine boosters yet will be the ONLY boarding client I keep during their duration of stay in order to best protect their developing immune system. As you would expect, my home and all supplies (crates, bowls, etc) are thoroughly sanitized after each client. Bowls are washed in the dishwasher at over 140 degrees to sanitize, and all floors and kennels are sanitized with Kennel Care (an effective veterinary-grade disinfectant against Parvo and all other infectious agents). I do also require that all dogs boarding here or coming for Doggy Daycare are either cat-friendly or cat-neutral (meaning they ignore them). We cannot board any dogs who are cat aggressive, small dog aggressive, or obsessive cat/dog chasers, due to the risk to our pets. Even though we have a separate space for boarding dogs, the risk of injury or death is too great if they were to somehow get loose and come into contact with them. I am sorry. This specifically means dogs who have a known history of active aggression toward prey animals or an excessive interest/obsession with chasing small dogs and cats. Simply being vocal toward cats or showing interest and wanting to gently investigate is not aggression and is fine. If you aren't sure how your baby would be, you are absolutely welcome to bring them over for a trial meeting on-leash to see how they do with them first! I will always text daily updates and pics to let you know how your babies are doing and what they are up to! I am an obsessive picture taker anyway, especially with animals. :) BOARDING DOGS: I require all dogs to be crate-trained or at least comfortable being in a crate for safety reasons (i.e. if I need to leave the house for any reason, they must be able to be crated). I keep large and medium sized comfortable, secure crates with comfortable washed fresh blankets for boarding dogs, or you are welcome to bring your own! Most boarding dogs are kept in our master suite so that I can supervise them at all times. On the rare occasion where we have boarding clients from two different families, we will set the other one up in my adult son's room. They are never alone or left ignored. For outgoing dogs who adapt well to any new situation and do well with other animals, they are allowed to run around the house with us, chill on the couch, hang out on the bed and watch TV, etc, unless their parents have trained them not to be on furniture, then we uphold this same rule for them here for consistency and they are offered blankets or beds on the floor. This is always under strict supervision, no unsupervised time loose. For dogs who are more nervous/anxious in new spaces, they are crated and given 3-5 intervals of supervised 1:1 time loose in my large master suite rather than the full house, and away from the cats or our dog if they may upset them. For the most nervous babies, I usually recommend remaining crated in a larger crate so they have room to move around, as they feel most secure there, with regular potty breaks. Similar to boarding at a veterinary clinic. All boarding dogs get lots of outside play time in our yard, always on a 30-foot training leash that is attached to my hand at all times. This lets them run and play and have fun while still always being under my control and security. I do not believe in using tie-outs nor do I ever leave a dog outside alone -- whether that is a client's dog or my own. Feeding is based on their own individual preferences and requirements/instructions from their pet parents. I have all necessary bowls here, just need their food provided. BOARDING CATS: For kitties, the most outgoing, friendly, and adaptable cats are set up in our daughter's bedroom so that they have a whole room with a comfy bed and someone to sleep with at night, as well as a clean sanitized litterbox (unless they bring their own). They are also provided plenty of cat-safe toys and clean blankets to lay on. I can provide litter unless your baby has a preference for a specific type/brand, which is no issue! My daughter LOVES having boarding cats with her and will play with them with wand toys, fuzzy mice, and laser pointers for as long as they are willing, and snuggle them in bed while playing Minecraft. I take care of all the care essentials and always have hands-on time with them to ensure all is well. For the more anxious/scared kitties who prefer to hide and have less interaction, they are kept either in a large multi-level cat condo with a litterbox at the bottom, or a large wire dog crate with the litterbox on one side and a plastic step stool on the other so they can sit elevated on top or hide underneath. I set these up inside my master bedroom if I have no boarding dogs, or my daughter's room if we do. They are allowed to decompress in a quiet warm space, and I will spend lots of time petting and loving on them if they would like it, otherwise I give them their space with just periodic check-ins and caretaking (litter, food, water, etc). BOARDING EXOTICS: Species-dependent, we can discuss specifics! DOGGIE DAYCARE: Exactly the same as boarding, just for shorter periods, whether that's an hour or two while you attend a doctor appt, or 8 hours while you work! PETSITTING IN YOUR HOME: I am fully able to stay 24/7 if you prefer, or I can just stay during the day and then head home around 9pm and back again the next morning. For clients who wish me to stay 24/7 in their home, I will need access to high-speed WiFi in order to work my remote job overnight, as I work third shift. I do not have to be isolated from pets for this job, they can hang out with me. :) While I am in your home, I can sleep either on the couch or in a guest bedroom if you have one and are comfortable, either is fine with me. For couches, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I will not do any cooking or anything that requires making a mess or cleaning up, and guarantee your home will be left in the same condition/state it was when I arrived, and will take any trash with me when I go. Your pets will sleep wherever they are used to sleeping, so if that's with a person, they are very welcome to sleep with me! I can let them out every 1-2 hours, including while working for puppies and seniors who need overnight potty breaks. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who stay at home and have me come over for care, I usually come over 2-3x per day for potty breaks, play breaks, a walk, meal times, litter scooping, cage cleaning, etc. and overall health checks to ensure all is well. I will always treat them as if they were my own babies and ensure they get lots of love and exercise to burn off that energy during the short time we have!
“WOW!!!! I was blown away by the level of care and love my dog received in Lauren's care!! The property is a dog's dream come true! It's fully fenced, and there were other friendly dogs for my dog to play with all day. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Lauren! I will most definitely take my dog back to her if I need a sitter again!”
“Kristen was amazing with Sudd and he came home tired everyday! I’m not sure if she was more excited to see Sudd or he was more excited to see her! I would definitely recommend and will continue to use Kristen!”

“If you’re looking for a sitter who will truly go above and beyond, Justin is the one. I have a 3 year old Lab with endless amounts of energy and Justin handles him better than I could have ever hoped for. Every time our dog goes with Justin it turns into an epic adventures with tons of exercise and stimulation. The best part about it is that Justin constantly updates and sends us pictures. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Gaby was very flexible with my fluctuating schedule. She was also very welcoming and patient with my pup. She reported back about his day and how he behaved during day care. I highly recommend Gaby.”
“Monika is a friendly and caring person that took care of our fur baby just like she was her own. She sent video updates of our pup throughout the day so we could enjoy our day away without worrying about how things were going.”

I own two Shih Tzus and one service dog that is a Schnauzer. All of my pets are dog and cat friendly. I own my own home, extra crates of all sizes for those that need crates. I have extra fences for inside and outside the home if someone doesn’t like to mingle. My fur babies are family and I’ll treat yours the same. I work from home 100% of the time. I have breaks on the hour for potty breaks and to go walk and care for your fur babies locally. I live alone with my rescues and my fur babies are my life. I work as a Professional Counselor and have a secondary Masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I was raised with a professional dog trainer and have a lifetime of experience. I have a fenced yard with extra barriers to keep everyone safe. My dogs are very friendly and playful and will keep your babies entertained. All of my animals are spayed or neutered with up to date full vaccinations and monthly plans with Banfield to keep them healthy. I have experience giving meds and giving subcutaneous fluids via IV if needed. Elderly and puppies always welcome. I can assist with potty training if needed.

“I cannot express how pleased I am with Ann, Bruno, and Reagan!! I feel so lucky to have found them. My dog typically takes a little to warm up to new people, but she feels so comfortable in their home. She loves going there and I feel so at ease when I drop her off. They are extremely accommodating with my schedule, send updates throughout the day, and love my dog like she is their own!! They are so so great, but don’t book with them so their calendar stays open for us!! 😊”
“Crista was really helpful when I needed last minute doggy care during yesterday for my doggies. She kept me updated with txt and pictures. I don't have to worry leaving my doggies with her and her family!😊”

My parents have always kept a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles, small mammals/pocket pets, and exotics, so I have been immersed in caring for almost every kind of pet you can think of since before I can remember. I also have always had an invisible neon sign above my head that only animals can see, which has made it so that all injured, young, or lost pets and wildlife find their way to me no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- even in Army basic training when I was 20, when I rescued a 10-day-old stray kitten from drowning due to a burst pipe underneath our barracks -- so I have always had animals in my care at any given moment. In our personal lives, we have two children: my 19-year-old son and our 8-year-old daughter, both of whom have been raised in animal rescue, veterinary medicine, pet care and behavior training, etc. and have extensive skills and knowledge of their own which brings me immense pride to see. We have 4 kitties and a Boston Terrier, all of whom are very comfortable with the various visiting pet friends that stay with us. They are also spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, negative for all common communicable diseases, and UTD on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. My boarding pets have spaces away from our pets if necessary, so interaction is not required and separation is just fine! I have never known a life without being surrounded by animals, without my clothes being covered in fur, and without being called to help care for animals in need. It is not just what I do, but who I am, down to my very core, and brings me immense joy and gratification. I cannot begin to express how much I love what I do. I love caring for others' pets and giving them the ability to be loved and well cared for when their own loving parents cannot be with them for whatever reason. I also have frequently helped clients become aware of health concerns within their pets that they may not otherwise notice, then can have their regular DVM evaluate and address it -- ranging from skin allergies to yeast infections in ears to heart murmurs to dental disease. I feel that my career position, my education, my decades of experience, my knowledge, and my skillset, not to mention having my DVM husband handy for advice and knowledge, puts me ahead of most pet caretakers. It ensures that your babies are in the safest and most experienced, well-prepared hands they could possibly be in! I currently work remote from home as an emergency triage technician and am the Manager of Performance, Training, and Team Success for GuardianVets, so I am available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to care for pets in my home. I also have some open availability from 8am to 10pm, so I am able to do drop-ins, potty breaks, feed, scoop litter boxes, change cages/bedding, etc. 2-3 times per day before the final visit for the evening. I can make just about any request work! Care depends on the individual pet, their breed, age, personality and needs, as well as what training and rules their parents have in place for them, and whether they are boarding in my 3600 sq. ft. home or I am caring for them in your home. Pets boarding in my home or coming for Doggy Daycare must be UTD on all core vaccines for their species with verification from their veterinarian. For puppies under 16 weeks of age, they must be UTD with the most recent booster for their age. All puppies under 16 weeks or puppies who have not yet completed all 4 vaccine boosters yet will be the ONLY boarding client I keep during their duration of stay in order to best protect their developing immune system. As you would expect, my home and all supplies (crates, bowls, etc) are thoroughly sanitized after each client. Bowls are washed in the dishwasher at over 140 degrees to sanitize, and all floors and kennels are sanitized with Kennel Care (an effective veterinary-grade disinfectant against Parvo and all other infectious agents). I do also require that all dogs boarding here or coming for Doggy Daycare are either cat-friendly or cat-neutral (meaning they ignore them). We cannot board any dogs who are cat aggressive, small dog aggressive, or obsessive cat/dog chasers, due to the risk to our pets. Even though we have a separate space for boarding dogs, the risk of injury or death is too great if they were to somehow get loose and come into contact with them. I am sorry. This specifically means dogs who have a known history of active aggression toward prey animals or an excessive interest/obsession with chasing small dogs and cats. Simply being vocal toward cats or showing interest and wanting to gently investigate is not aggression and is fine. If you aren't sure how your baby would be, you are absolutely welcome to bring them over for a trial meeting on-leash to see how they do with them first! I will always text daily updates and pics to let you know how your babies are doing and what they are up to! I am an obsessive picture taker anyway, especially with animals. :) BOARDING DOGS: I require all dogs to be crate-trained or at least comfortable being in a crate for safety reasons (i.e. if I need to leave the house for any reason, they must be able to be crated). I keep large and medium sized comfortable, secure crates with comfortable washed fresh blankets for boarding dogs, or you are welcome to bring your own! Most boarding dogs are kept in our master suite so that I can supervise them at all times. On the rare occasion where we have boarding clients from two different families, we will set the other one up in my adult son's room. They are never alone or left ignored. For outgoing dogs who adapt well to any new situation and do well with other animals, they are allowed to run around the house with us, chill on the couch, hang out on the bed and watch TV, etc, unless their parents have trained them not to be on furniture, then we uphold this same rule for them here for consistency and they are offered blankets or beds on the floor. This is always under strict supervision, no unsupervised time loose. For dogs who are more nervous/anxious in new spaces, they are crated and given 3-5 intervals of supervised 1:1 time loose in my large master suite rather than the full house, and away from the cats or our dog if they may upset them. For the most nervous babies, I usually recommend remaining crated in a larger crate so they have room to move around, as they feel most secure there, with regular potty breaks. Similar to boarding at a veterinary clinic. All boarding dogs get lots of outside play time in our yard, always on a 30-foot training leash that is attached to my hand at all times. This lets them run and play and have fun while still always being under my control and security. I do not believe in using tie-outs nor do I ever leave a dog outside alone -- whether that is a client's dog or my own. Feeding is based on their own individual preferences and requirements/instructions from their pet parents. I have all necessary bowls here, just need their food provided. BOARDING CATS: For kitties, the most outgoing, friendly, and adaptable cats are set up in our daughter's bedroom so that they have a whole room with a comfy bed and someone to sleep with at night, as well as a clean sanitized litterbox (unless they bring their own). They are also provided plenty of cat-safe toys and clean blankets to lay on. I can provide litter unless your baby has a preference for a specific type/brand, which is no issue! My daughter LOVES having boarding cats with her and will play with them with wand toys, fuzzy mice, and laser pointers for as long as they are willing, and snuggle them in bed while playing Minecraft. I take care of all the care essentials and always have hands-on time with them to ensure all is well. For the more anxious/scared kitties who prefer to hide and have less interaction, they are kept either in a large multi-level cat condo with a litterbox at the bottom, or a large wire dog crate with the litterbox on one side and a plastic step stool on the other so they can sit elevated on top or hide underneath. I set these up inside my master bedroom if I have no boarding dogs, or my daughter's room if we do. They are allowed to decompress in a quiet warm space, and I will spend lots of time petting and loving on them if they would like it, otherwise I give them their space with just periodic check-ins and caretaking (litter, food, water, etc). BOARDING EXOTICS: Species-dependent, we can discuss specifics! DOGGIE DAYCARE: Exactly the same as boarding, just for shorter periods, whether that's an hour or two while you attend a doctor appt, or 8 hours while you work! PETSITTING IN YOUR HOME: I am fully able to stay 24/7 if you prefer, or I can just stay during the day and then head home around 9pm and back again the next morning. For clients who wish me to stay 24/7 in their home, I will need access to high-speed WiFi in order to work my remote job overnight, as I work third shift. I do not have to be isolated from pets for this job, they can hang out with me. :) While I am in your home, I can sleep either on the couch or in a guest bedroom if you have one and are comfortable, either is fine with me. For couches, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I will not do any cooking or anything that requires making a mess or cleaning up, and guarantee your home will be left in the same condition/state it was when I arrived, and will take any trash with me when I go. Your pets will sleep wherever they are used to sleeping, so if that's with a person, they are very welcome to sleep with me! I can let them out every 1-2 hours, including while working for puppies and seniors who need overnight potty breaks. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who stay at home and have me come over for care, I usually come over 2-3x per day for potty breaks, play breaks, a walk, meal times, litter scooping, cage cleaning, etc. and overall health checks to ensure all is well. I will always treat them as if they were my own babies and ensure they get lots of love and exercise to burn off that energy during the short time we have!
“Jenny is amazing! She lets us know when she arrives sends pictures, and leaves a report card for each baby at the end of the visit, which I did expect. We're glad we have Jenny.”
About: I am 60 years old, a mother, and a grandmother. I have been caring for animals for the past 38 years. I love all dogs and animals! My dogs and my granddogs are my whole world. I've been divorced for a year, after 37 years of marriage. Looking to start my new job as a full time dog sitter, doing what I love most, caring for animals! Monday: Anytime Tuesday: Anytime Wednesday: Anytime Thursday: Anytime Friday: Morning - 8:00 PM Saturday: Off Sunday: Anytime I am strong in my faith and must have off Friday at sunset to Saturday at sunset for Sabbath. I can do drop-in visits, customer house sitting, and dog walking depending on size of dog. As long as it aligns with my schedule listed.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. My mom gave me my first dog when I was about five years old, and I've had at least one dog by my side ever since. Today, my husband and I share our home with five wonderful dogs who are truly part of our family. They aren't just pets—they're our babies, and we love and care for them as such. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members because I feel the exact same way about my own. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, cuddle on the couch, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. When your dog is in my care, I'll treat them with the same kindness, love, and respect that I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your best friend is being cared for like family. I currently work a full-time 12-hour rotating swing shift, so my availability alternates every other week. One week, I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. The following week, I am available on Wednesday and Thursday. This schedule repeats on a rotating basis. I make every effort to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know when I'm available to care for your pets. At this time, I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services only. Because my husband and I have five dogs of our own, I am unable to provide boarding or in-home care at my residence. My focus is on giving your pets the love, attention, exercise, and care they need in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed.

About: Hi! My name is Sammi and I have 12+ years of taking care of all varieties of animals. I currently own 2 dogs (1 aussie and 1 recently rescued great pyreneese) , 2 cats, 4 horses and 2 reptiles of my own. I have worked with rescues, shelters and non-profits in the past so I am skilled in caring for animals with all kinds of needs. I also work from home with a flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate special requests and special needs animals during the week for those that need more attention. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can best help you and your animals! I currently work from home with flexible hours so am available usually from 8am to 8pm each day, with flexibility where needed. I currently walk my own dogs a mile or two every other day, with them being walked on the property every 4 hours for exercise. I live on 8 acres with woods so plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. I currently do not have a fenced in yard, but have multiple tether setups and/or long line leashes to walk dogs on and let them roam a bit while controlled. My 2 dogs are males who are friendly with others and love to play outside in the backyard. Since I am home during the day, all animals get lots of cuddles in my house (allowed on furniture) and constant interaction of bones, toys, tug of war, toys etc. I do have separate areas that dogs can be crated in alone if preferred. I do also have 2 cats that are dog friendly but have their own room they can be closed off in if needed.
About: Over the years I have walked dogs of all sizes and baby sat many houses for family and friends. I grow up on a farm. I have trained horses and owned pretty much every farm animal out there. I am not afraid of a challenge. I am excited to expand my services to other people. I enjoy volunteering at the local SPCA for time to time. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I have never tried these skills on a animal and hopefully I will never have to try them out. I have worked in several daycare over the years and am currently a nanny. People trust me with their kids so I am confident in my ability to handle your pets. Pets are family as well.
