“Roger was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure Kane was well cared for. All of our particulars were carried out flawlessly. Our plane got delayed so we had to readjust our pick-up time which wasn’t a problem with Roger’s professionalism. Kane made new friends and loved his time there. Definitely use him again!”
“Doyle was amazing ! We booked close to last minute for a holiday and he was so accommodating. I am an absolutely over enthusiastic (crazy) dog mom. Doyle understood completely and sent me multiple photo updates. He answered all of my questions and he was very professional and easy to work with. I would trust him to watch Josie again any time. Thank you Doyle for an excellent experience. ”
“We had a fantastic experience with our Rover sitter, Mallory! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages while we were away. It was clear that our dog was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. The biggest compliment we can give is that our dog came home calm, relaxed, and happy, a sure sign that he felt comfortable and well cared for during his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Mallory again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.”
“Samantha was amazing with Nala! She watched her for us this weekend and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Nala was being well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Samantha again soon! ❤️🐾”
“Jill and family took great care of our Maya. We were leaving her for 10 days and she had never spent more than one night away from us, so we were a little nervous about how she would do. No need to worry though, Jill and family made her part of the family. We received texts and pics everyday telling and showing us that she was doing great. We will definitely continue to use Jill in the future.”
“Dulce was amazing! My pup can be a little anxious at first but she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and well loved! He really opened up at the end and when I picked him up, I could see how much he loved the whole family 🫶🏻”
“We had the most pleasant experience! This was our first time ever using Rover, and they made it such a positive one. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dogs were receiving lots of love and attention! We honestly felt like they were being spoiled the entire time! They truly went above and beyond for our pups and treated them as if they were their own. Their care, communication, and kindness made all the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend them and would absolutely trust them with our dogs again. ❤️🐾”
“Sydni is absolutely amazing! We recently went on vacation and boarded our dog with her, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care she provided. From the moment we dropped him off, she treated him like her own, giving him so much attention, cuddles, and playtime. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and genuine, but Sydni truly goes above and beyond. Our dog came home relaxed, healthy, and full of joy, clearly having had a wonderful time with her. I would recommend Sydni to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and attentive to their pets. We will definitely be coming back to her for any future boarding or pet-sitting needs!”
“Thank you Ainsley - it was wonderful to have complete peace of mind while we were away for more than a week from our anxious/nervous dog. He ate, slept, and exercised well and even got to socialize and learn from his role model, Ted! We can't wait to board again with Aisnley and Ted!”
“Alexis did an amazing job during Tommy's first stay. The vibe of her home was super welcoming and Tommy settled right in. She kept me updated throughout the stay and took great care of my guy. Highly recommended!”
“It was my first time boarding Oliver and was a bit nervous to do so but Amy was great! I met her before hand so Oliver would get introduced to the new environment. I came back from vacation and Oliver was so happy and fluffy tailed so I know he was treated like a prince! I will definitely book with Amy again if she’s available!”
About: I have experience with small and large dogs. I have grown up with dogs in my family and have learned the needs that are specific to certain breeds. I have walked Morkies, Boxers, Rottweilers, Black Labs, Havanese, and many other breeds of dogs. I can handle energetic puppies and dogs since I have had experience with them in the past. I have walked small dogs and large dogs for other families before. I also enjoy taking the dogs I have or watch to the dog park to play fetch or play with other dogs in a leash-free setting. I also have some experience training my own dogs and tips I have picked up along the way for certain dog behaviors. I can handle baths and light grooming if needed. I work from home a large chunk of the week, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to feed, walk, and care for your pet(s) as needed! I have a sweet 7 year old pup and 6 month old pup that can keep your pup company if staying with me! Otherwise, I can watch your fur baby at your home with no issues! I can also crate and reinforce their training if needed!
“Melody was great with Bucky. She is great with him and very flexible on pick up and drop off time. She sent me pictures of him during his stay. Overall a great sitter, and I would highly recommend.”
“Amanda and Rae, along with their entire family, did a great job with my puppy! It was a smooth process and she had the best time. The pictures and communication I got throughout the stay was wonderful :)”
About: With 11 years of hands-on experience caring for both my own pets and others’, I specialize in cats and dogs — I know how to read their body language, keep them comfortable, and stick to their routines. Since I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. And because I don’t have other pets in my home, your pet gets my full, undivided attention — no competing for space, food, or affection with a resident animal. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, not just around it. My work is flexible, so I’m either home or able to come back frequently throughout the day — your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m available all seven days of the week, so there’s no gap in coverage between weekdays and weekends. Boarding • Your pet stays in my home with no other pets competing for attention. I keep feeding and routines on schedule, and since I work from home, someone’s around for most of the day. Drop-ins • I follow whatever routine you’ve set — feeding, medication, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, and playtime — with a photo update after each visit. Walks • One walk a day, paced to your pet’s comfort level, on-leash and supervised the whole time. I pay close attention to their cues, especially with cats and small-to-medium dogs, where I have the most hands-on experience. House-sitting • I usually do NOT stay at clients homes overnight or for extended periods during the day! • I will check in with your pets in the AM/PM (as needed) and follow their routines so their schedule is consistent, and provide photos throughout the stay. *Every visit ends with a photo, so you always know your pet is happy and cared for.
“Jennifer and her family boarded my cat Stoke for 3 nights. They made sure he had a comfortable space. The children knew how to gently approach and pet cats. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to welcome another pet into their home temporarily rather than just make a buck. It was easy to communicate with Jennifer and I think Stoke had a good experience. I highly recommend.”
About: My mom started fostering dogs when I was 2 years old, so I've been taking care of dogs my whole life! I would love to help you take care of your dog(s)! I also have experience using various no-pull harnesses and gentle leader head collars for larger dogs. I have no qualms about taking care of "controversial" breeds such as Rottweilers, Dobermans, or Pit Bulls. I'm available for morning, evening, and weekend check-ins. I'm perfectly comfortable and experienced at administering oral medications and/or taking care of senior dogs and cats. I have a fenced-in yard for frequent potty breaks and play time. Adult pets must be spayed/neutered to stay at my home. I try to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you can see when I'm available! Please reach out for any specific dates needed! Boarding: I treat your dogs like my own! They get to play outside and sleep on the furniture with my dog! I'll feed them per your schedule! Sitting: I'll try to keep the routine as normal as possible for your pets! I'll send pictures throughout the service!

About: I've taken care of pets for over a decade in a professional and personal setting. If your pet has any special needs don't hesitate to let me know so I can provide proper medications or extra care when they need it! I currently work full time in an office setting. My schedule is the same Monday - Friday. However, I get plenty of breaks and a lunch so I can check on your babies and mine frequently throughout the day. Although crating is a beautiful practice to keep pets safe when not home, I love to allow the pets freedom to roam while I am there to monitor, with plenty of toys or puzzles! Enrichment is a great way to keep your dogs from being bored/anxious and destroying items you'd like to keep off limits.
“This was the second time we had Kassi watch our cat, this time for 8 days. She was timely and communicative, so I felt I could trust her to care for our cat. I could also tell she did her best to follow the care instructions.”
“Jennifer and her family boarded my cat Stoke for 3 nights. They made sure he had a comfortable space. The children knew how to gently approach and pet cats. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to welcome another pet into their home temporarily rather than just make a buck. It was easy to communicate with Jennifer and I think Stoke had a good experience. I highly recommend.”
About: I’ve wanted a cat for as long as I can remember, and after welcoming my own cat into my family last year, I’ve fallen even more in love with how much personality and individuality every cat has. I’ve also cared for friends’ cats through the years and grew up occasionally helping stray cats. One of my favorite things about caring for cats is getting to know them on their terms. I’ve found that even cats who are normally nervous around new people often warm up to me quickly. I’m patient and attentive to their boundaries, and I’ll let a cat sniff me, approach me, and decide when they’re comfortable with petting or play rather than forcing interaction. Caring for my own cat has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are. I’m comfortable with everyday care like feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and playtime, and I’m happy to follow each owner’s specific instructions for their cat’s routine and care. My cat is truly my little girl, and she teaches me something new every day. I feel incredibly lucky to experience the companionship and love that comes with having a cat, and I’d love the opportunity to give that same patience, attention, and affection to your cat while you’re away.

“Roger has been absolutely amazing with my dog. I bring him to his daycare multiple times each week, and it’s been such a great experience every time. He is reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about the dogs he watches. My dog always comes home happy and well taken care of, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I highly recommend Rogers daycare to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their dog.”

“Took great care of my two dogs.- they can be an energetic handful - zero problems in Candy J’s care. I was running a touch late for the drop off and she was very accommodating. I will definitely book with Candy again.”
“Melody was accommodating, a great communicator, and enthusiastic about my pup! We had to change the schedule around last minute and she was very understanding and helped us with what she could to accommodate that. She responded to me almost immediately and would send updates on how my pup was doing without being asked. She showed genuine care for our puppy pal and even sent her home with a toy she loved from the day. Thank you, Melody!”
About: I’ve had a dog in the home for almost my entire life, and got my first on my own during Covid to have a friend around 😊 My second dog moved in two years ago. I work full-time from home, so, other than leaving once a day for working out at the gym, my schedule is flexible to fit around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to play. I allow dogs on the furniture and have a gate to prevent them from getting downstairs. My neighborhood is quiet and great for walks.
“My dog Mollie stayed with Donna for doggy day care. Mollie was immediately comfortable around Donna and was sufficiently tired when I took her home. Donna was very welcoming and prompt when it came to responding to my messages. She sent me updates through pictures and gave me a feedback of Mollie's stay. Great experience!”

About: I've had the most honorable pleasure of being part of my own late fur babies (dogs) lives for 17 and 14 years. As well as my first ever cat, Catwoman (sorry girl, for the typical young child name). Then a few others as life went on, Anastasia, Callie, and Izzy (Isabella). Caring for and loving them was my pleasure and took me on many lifelong learning adventures. In order to make a difference for the loves of my lives I have decided to offer my heart to pet care. If given the chance, I can only hope to show your pets love like their own, trust, snuggles, fun, and more...everything they've ever dreamed of. Thank you for entrusting your very special babies to me. I look forward to meeting any and all of them. Due to being a stay at home homemaker it seems I have plenty of time to devote to loving and caring for your loves as if they were my own. I'm available and open to accommodate many different schedules. As of now I am available to care for your loved ones in their own setting where they're most comfortable. Your home is where I'm able to love and care for your furbabies. There are also many possibilities for walking, and I also offer vet visit care. That's as in being your pets' veterinary appointment partner.
About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs for the past 10 years of my life. My family has always taken in any pet that needed help or a new home both short and long term. Being around dogs always bring myself & my family a lot of fun & joy! Meeting and hanging out with new dogs is honestly one of my favorite activities and I can’t wait to possibly spend some time with your dog. I have a house with a private but unfenced yard. And live close by to parks & dog parks. I also have the ability to fully enclose part of my yard with a temporary fence. So I can work with you to ensure your pup gets outdoor time it needs in a manner you feel comfortable & safe with! I have the option to work remotely so can spend all day and/or extended periods of time with your dog(s)! I’m also a former D1 athlete and live a very active lifestyle so taking your dog out to get some exercise won’t be an issue! I’m super lucky to say my schedule has the ability to flex to your needs & preferences. With the ability to work remotely during the week I can be home the entire day with your dog! Ensuring that they get plenty of attention, care & potty breaks. Typically I don’t have to leave the house for than a couple hours as well. So your dog or cat will never be alone for long! Your pets safety is my top priority whether at my home or yours! I have my own backyard that can be fenced so safety there is no issue! I’ll never leave your dog unattended for time periods you aren’t comfortable with. Working from home allows me to always keep an eye & ear out for you pet. Establishing trust with you and your pet is a big deal for me! I want everyone involved to feel comfortable, safe & welcomed!
About: Hi, I’m Alexis! I’m a lifelong dog lover and pet owner with experience caring for senior and special-needs dogs. I most recently adopted my dog, Simon! He is a gentle giant with a wobble to his walk. He has Cerebellar Ataxia, but that doesn’t stop him at all! Simon loves his dog friends of all sizes and would love to join me in helping take care your fur babies! I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, including Chihuahuas, Labs, Huskies, Cane Corsos, Shibas, and King Shepherds—no dog is too big or too small! I’m also comfortable with special care needs. My previous dog Milo had epilepsy, so I have experience administering medication and providing attentive care for dogs who need a little extra support. More recently, I adopted a senior Shiba who passed away at 15 after battling non-regenerative anemia, which gave me hands-on experience with the patience, comfort, and extra attention senior dogs require. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but I live near a park with lots of walking paths and green space. I’m happy to provide plenty of leashed walks and outdoor time, and there’s also a dog park nearby for friendly pups who enjoy it! I also frequently visit the Omaha Dog Bar and would be happy to bring your registered pup along for an outing if they’re comfortable and enjoy socializing. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with patience, love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs! 🐾❤️ I work fully remote, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day! Our mornings start around 7 AM (or earlier if they’re the ones waking me up), with a potty break and some morning time together before I start work. While I’m working, they’re welcome to lounge on the couch or bed nearby. We’ll take breaks throughout the day for attention, potty breaks, and a little playtime. After work around 4 PM, we’ll head out for a longer walk or, if they enjoy it, a trip to the dog park. I’ll then head to the gym for about two hours, after which I’ll be home for dinner, another walk, cuddles, and relaxing together! Overall, your pup can expect a comfortable routine, lots of companionship, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of love throughout the day! I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to understand their routine, personality, comfort level, and any special needs before they stay with me. Because I work fully remote, I’m home throughout the day and able to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, attention, and companionship. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, so outdoor time is always supervised and on-leash unless we’re in a secure, designated area. I live near a park with plenty of walking paths and green space, which makes it easy to give pups safe, regular exercise. I’m experienced with senior and special-needs dogs, including administering medication and providing extra patience and care when needed. I’m also comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines.
About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.
About: I have had pets my whole life for their whole lives. I worked at a doggy day care for a few years and loved it. I also went to vet technician school but didnt finish the last semester due to illness. So that means I'm skilled in administration of medications and special needs. ❤️ I am available every week day and most weekends. I'm a stay at home wife to a retired military guy! I can handle large breeds as well as little breeds and adore them all! I have a middle sized lab mix as well 2 pugs myself, that loves to play so if your pupper does too they can all be great friends! Please get a hold of me through text first as that is easier for me. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! Please let me play with your fur babies! Thank you! Hi! I'm currently a disabled SAHW, no children. My husband's a veteran and I want to help with household finances in a way I was somewhat trained to do so. I can get up whenever to take care of your furry babe and am happy to do it!!! I have a 6 ft privacy fence to a very spacious yard! 2 friendly pugs and a lazy old lab mix (friendly). One cat even likes to play with dogs.

About: I have been a lifetime pet owner, small to big. I helped raise 6 vizsla puppies in 2023 and continue to care for 3 of them when they need it. I have two cats myself that I love dearly. I also already work with dogs full time at a doggy daycare!! I am currently working full time so I will have time to take care of your fur baby in the morning and in the evening!! As a dog walker I will respect your home and space by not touching or wandering in spaces that I don’t need to be in. I will also respect your dog and their boundaries, I’m used to dogs that don’t like people and dogs that like people a little bit too much. There’s not much I won’t be able to handle!!

Your home is where I'm able to love and care for your furbabies. There are also many possibilities for walking, and I also offer vet visit care. That's as in being your pets' veterinary appointment partner.
About: As a pet owner of 28 years, I know how stressful it is to leave your fur babies behind for hours on end, and my goal is to relieve you and your pet of any worries! I love taking dogs for walks for stimulation and activity. Your dog will receive my care with attention to pacing, any health concerns, and lots of fun! My schedule changes weekly, meaning I am very flexible for your needs. Generally weekdays during normal working hours is when I am the most free! As a walker, I don’t offer services from my own home but would love to keep pet parents updated with photos of my walks with your pets!
“Ellie has been helping us out by walking our dog, Wally, a few days a week. She is reliable and sends me a picture of Wally on his walks every time! Wally is a high energy dog and he is visibly calmer on days he gets to walk with Ellie! We can tell that he loves his walks with her and can tell that she treats him with love and kindness! He now knows her name and gets excited every morning when I tell him that Ellie is coming to see him later! We’re grateful to have a trustworthy person to spend time with him when we’re busy working. We will continue to hire Ellie as often as we can! Thank you Ellie!”
About: I have experience in the animal field. I have pets of my own. I have 2 dogs 2 cats and 3 snakes. I have experience in some vet tech care and vet clinic experience such as restraint, pill giving, injections if needed. I know dog/cat body language. I am skilled in reptiles and exotics as well. Please reach out! I would LOVE to do a drop in visit or stay at your home with your pet. I am flexible with the services I offer. I care for your pets in your home the way you would. With love, care and all the snuggles. For drop in visits I would take them on a longer walk and hangout with them.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, which has given me hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is my natural comfort and understanding of animals—I’m attentive to their behavior, patient with their needs, and focused on making them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. I have experience with both energetic puppies and older pets who need a gentler approach. Whether it’s helping reinforce basic training for young dogs, sticking to routines, or providing calm, attentive care for seniors, I adjust my approach to fit each pet. I’m also comfortable managing multiple pets and following specific care instructions closely. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with reliability, compassion, and plenty of attention. I am currently working part time, so my availability is flexible for walks and drop-in visits! I do have my own furry friend, so I am unavailable for extended visits and overnight care. I will treat your fur baby like they are my own - frequent walks, play time, and all the snuggles! Safety is a must for me, so I promise your dog and home will always be safe in my care.
About: I have been taking care of pets ever since I could remember. I would go help my parents when we they would watch family and friends pets. And I had all kind of animals growing up and I gave them all the love in the world. I am always the first person to volunteer when someone needs a pet sitter. I am so excited to be there for your pet and I will treat them just as my own! :) I am a school teacher so I am free Monday-Friday most of the day during the summer! During the school year I will be available after 4:30. At home at other people’s home I make sure all pets needs are meet. I make sure they are safe, happy, and comfortable. I make sure everything is clean and they are well fed. With my two cats I give them so much love and attention and I clean their litter box daily!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats growing up! Growing up, I was often hired to help out neighbors and family friends to watch their pets. I’ve worked in roles caring for young children so I am very patient and love to be active. I am currently a law student and very reliable and would love to spend time with your pets! I am currently a student at Creighton University School of Law. I have classes sporadically Monday-Thursday with midday breaks. I am free every Friday through Sunday all day long. I will be able to check on pets on weekdays while on breaks and all weekend. I am flexible with my schedule! I am tidy and considerate when coming into your home. I will ensure your pets are well taken care of and spend as much time with them as I can. I am flexible to different settings, pets, and schedules.
About: being around dogs is both a joy of mine but also a necessity! i have taken care of and grown up with many different breeds and sizes of dogs throughout my life and would love to continue to help you and your furry friend! as every dog is different and specific to their own needs, i will do my absolute best to take good care of your dog and make them feel right at home however you please currently, i would say i am working a pretty full time job with 6-8 hour long shifts but am flexible to adjust my schedule as long as you contact me a week in advance. however if this does sound doable for your pup i am generally available throughout the whole week except for mondays! i do live in an apartment, however there is plenty of grass nearby including the secluded neighborhood that it is in. i would be happy to take your dog on walks or to nearby parks. perhaps a dog park also if that is something they do well with and enjoy. i live in a fairly spacious, yet cozy space and and am willing to provide a kennel if need be.
About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.

“Roger was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure Kane was well cared for. All of our particulars were carried out flawlessly. Our plane got delayed so we had to readjust our pick-up time which wasn’t a problem with Roger’s professionalism. Kane made new friends and loved his time there. Definitely use him again!”
“Samantha was amazing with Nala! She watched her for us this weekend and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Nala was being well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Samantha again soon! ❤️🐾”
“Ashlee was great! My dog had a wonderful time with her, and it gave me such peace of mind while I was out of town. She was also really flexible with pick up time. My drive back got delayed and she was so nice about it. Would definitely book her again!”
“We are so happy that we found Jessica and Robert to watch our dogs. They really got to know our dogs and their personalities and care for them just like they were their own dogs.”
“Robert was great as always! Millie was excited soon as we turned into his neighborhood! She settled in, and seems like they had a great weekend together! She gets runs, walks, lots of outside time, and plenty of pets and love!”
“Watson seemed to have a good time with Ryne and was well taken care of. He was healthy and happy when we picked him up. He had his own room with TV and small couch. Ryne sent pictures during his stay which was greatly appreciated.”
“Jill and family took great care of our Maya. We were leaving her for 10 days and she had never spent more than one night away from us, so we were a little nervous about how she would do. No need to worry though, Jill and family made her part of the family. We received texts and pics everyday telling and showing us that she was doing great. We will definitely continue to use Jill in the future.”
“Dulce was amazing! My pup can be a little anxious at first but she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and well loved! He really opened up at the end and when I picked him up, I could see how much he loved the whole family 🫶🏻”
“Savannah is incredible! Our dog, Skye, stayed with her for 14 days, which was her first time staying with someone outside of our immediate family. Skye can be a bit anxious and gets very skittish around fireworks. Savannah took amazing care of her by providing care and support during the 4th of July fireworks celebrations, which meant so much to us and showed how much she truly cares. She gave Skye a structured routine and provided daily walks that Skye absolutely loved. Savannah also let us bring Skye's kennel, playpen, and large mat to her home so she could have a true "home away from home" setup. Her communication was wonderful—she sent us reassuring updates and pictures almost daily. When my daughters picked up Skye, you could see that she was a happy dog and was well taken care of by Savannah. We would absolutely choose Savannah to babysit Skye again in the future!”
“Sydni is absolutely amazing! We recently went on vacation and boarded our dog with her, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care she provided. From the moment we dropped him off, she treated him like her own, giving him so much attention, cuddles, and playtime. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and genuine, but Sydni truly goes above and beyond. Our dog came home relaxed, healthy, and full of joy, clearly having had a wonderful time with her. I would recommend Sydni to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and attentive to their pets. We will definitely be coming back to her for any future boarding or pet-sitting needs!”
“Jonathan and Kera were great when watching Albert! They sent me lots of pictures and updates! They were very helpful in keeping up with Albert’s allergy medications and making sure he was comfortable! Definitely will book with them again!”
“Alexis did an amazing job during Tommy's first stay. The vibe of her home was super welcoming and Tommy settled right in. She kept me updated throughout the stay and took great care of my guy. Highly recommended!”
“Michelle is wonderful! It was our very first time leaving our babies with a stranger. Michelle & her daughter made us feel very comfortable & had good feelings about leaving them at their house. Michelle’s daughter is quite the photographer & they sent pics on a regular basis which was so sweet. When we went to pick them up, they were on the back of the couch (they’re just 5 lbs) looking out the window just admiring the outdoors. We left them for 6 days which is a good chunk of time….. we were just as excited to see them as they were to see us & I absolutely recommend her & her family! Older children & they only do 1 family at a time which most on here don’t. That was definitely a deciding factor. Despite the fact that she was a drive for us-it’s absolutely worth it to entrust the caregivers with ur precious babies 🥰. Michelle & her daughter get 10 🌟 hands down & we will use them In the future 💋💋💋”
About: I have experience with small and large dogs. I have grown up with dogs in my family and have learned the needs that are specific to certain breeds. I have walked Morkies, Boxers, Rottweilers, Black Labs, Havanese, and many other breeds of dogs. I can handle energetic puppies and dogs since I have had experience with them in the past. I have walked small dogs and large dogs for other families before. I also enjoy taking the dogs I have or watch to the dog park to play fetch or play with other dogs in a leash-free setting. I also have some experience training my own dogs and tips I have picked up along the way for certain dog behaviors. I can handle baths and light grooming if needed. I work from home a large chunk of the week, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to feed, walk, and care for your pet(s) as needed! I have a sweet 7 year old pup and 6 month old pup that can keep your pup company if staying with me! Otherwise, I can watch your fur baby at your home with no issues! I can also crate and reinforce their training if needed!
“Melody was great with Bucky. She is great with him and very flexible on pick up and drop off time. She sent me pictures of him during his stay. Overall a great sitter, and I would highly recommend.”
“Amanda and Rae, along with their entire family, did a great job with my puppy! It was a smooth process and she had the best time. The pictures and communication I got throughout the stay was wonderful :)”
About: My mom started fostering dogs when I was 2 years old, so I've been taking care of dogs my whole life! I would love to help you take care of your dog(s)! I also have experience using various no-pull harnesses and gentle leader head collars for larger dogs. I have no qualms about taking care of "controversial" breeds such as Rottweilers, Dobermans, or Pit Bulls. I'm available for morning, evening, and weekend check-ins. I'm perfectly comfortable and experienced at administering oral medications and/or taking care of senior dogs and cats. I have a fenced-in yard for frequent potty breaks and play time. Adult pets must be spayed/neutered to stay at my home. I try to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you can see when I'm available! Please reach out for any specific dates needed! Boarding: I treat your dogs like my own! They get to play outside and sleep on the furniture with my dog! I'll feed them per your schedule! Sitting: I'll try to keep the routine as normal as possible for your pets! I'll send pictures throughout the service!
About: I have had very few years of my life without the company of a pet - first, growing up with dogs, and now taking care of other people's dogs (and cats). I often have a Golden Retriever who likes to staycay with me when his mom is away. I have boarded Golden Retrievers, Corgis, Bull Mastiffs, Chihuahuas, to name a few! I am also experienced at administering medication. Your little (or big) one will enjoy the creature comforts of a little townhome with a large area to play and exercise. Because I'm located just a couple of blocks from Gifford Park, babies who love the outdoors are just minutes away from a luxurious sprint or smelling who is new in town. When it's time to unwind, the indoors are just right. Beds and couches galore allow for a relaxing way to end the day. All cheekiness aside, I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I am currently taking a chance on a new path into a career I've always dreamed about but never had the time to pursue. At this stage in my life, I'm ready finally to try it! Animals are like children, and they come first. When they are with me, they know it! Regular vet visits, exercise, attention, healthy food, and mental stimulation are a must at my house, and I treat every animal as my own. If someone leaves me in charge of the safety and well-being of their beloved pet, I take that responsibility as high as a person possibly can. Physical safety is not my only concern. I hope to make these times away from you feel less stressful for your loved one. I am sure to give them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe until you return.
