Finn really enjoyed his stay with Taylor. I appreciated all the photos she sent - it made my time away from my puppy a little easier. I definitely recommend Taylor to take care of your furry friends. Will board with her again.

Angela was very nice and her dog was the sweetest doggy. Both of them greeted our Jessie as long lost relative, made him feel welcome. Our old dog was happy, had good time staying with them. We got updates with pictures. Angela even baked some yummy doggy treats and sent Jessie home with a goody.

Cassandra far exceeded our expectations! This was the first time leaving our puppy with someone so we were nervous at first, however, the second we met Cassandra we were at ease. You could tell immediately how much she loved dogs. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay and we could tell she loved him as if he were her own. My puppy seemed so happy and content with her. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! She was amazing!

We had a wonderful experience with Ruth on Rover! She was able to take our dog, Millie, on very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the moment we dropped Millie off, Ruth made us feel comfortable and confident that Millie was in great hands. Millie clearly had a great time during her stay. Ruth took excellent care of her and made sure she felt right at home. We really appreciated the photos Ruth sent while we were away—it was great to see how happy and comfortable Millie was. It looked like Millie had a blast going on walks and even getting to enjoy some car rides. We’re very grateful that Ruth was able to help us out with a last-minute booking and provide such great care. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their dog, and we would gladly book with her again!

She is a really good host. Right from the start itself their dog and our dog connected as they both are of same breed. She was really caring and gave us intermittent updates as well with photos and text of how our dog was doing. Her whole family got connected to our dog really well and provided a homely feeling for our dog. Will definitely recommend them and will like to rover with them again.

This was our first experience with Rover.com and Nellie had a wonderful time at Karen's "pet resort." I'm not certain there could be a better set up for a "city" dog to play on a farm. Karen has an amazing fenced area with lots of opportunity for interaction with her dogs as well as others. She has a great set up for outside play and indoor boarding. I felt very comfortable leaving Nellie in Karen's care.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

About: I've taken care of and owned many dogs over the years. I have had pets all of my life, dogs, cats, fish, turtles, guinea pigs...you name it! Neighbors, friends and family have continuously entrusted my wife and I to care for their pets. We will board only one family’s dog(s) at a time so you can be sure they get the attention they need. Our four kids are age 7-13 and will also provide extra attention and playtime for your dog. With six in the household you can rest assured knowing your dog will have attention at all times. Our 4 acre yard provides ample space for leashed exploring and there is abundant wildlife in the area providing new smells to investigate. Your dog will be walked a minimum of once in the morning and once at night with bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours or as needed. During the week my wife and I have the ability to work from home to provide care for your dog during the day. We do require dogs to potty trained and not have a history of aggression. They also need to be trained to not chew on non toys unless they are still puppies which we fully understand and can work with! We look forward to having an opportunity to meet you and keeping you pets well loved! No matter what our day looks like, there is always someone available to provide the attention and consistency of car for your dog(s), which is the number one priority. We also have a furnished basement that can be closed off if needed. Or a quiet capped garage and workshop room depending on the sleeping arrangements your dog is accustomed to. If you could please let me know of any special needs your dog may require or want.

About: I’m new to this site, but I have had the pleasure of owning several dogs. I have dealt with multiple dog personalities, so i'd say I have the knowledge to address many types of dogs. I am a very active person, so I would be glad to give your dog a workout. I look forward to seeing my furry counterparts! I am available to dog walk/ take care of pets during the week day, after 9 pm. On Friday and Saturday, I am able to pet sit. On Sunday, I am able to offer any service aside from pet sitting or pet boarding. I am able to feed, provide water, bathe, and walk pets. I am also able to brush pets, and play with them. If the pets come to my house, and the weather is not cooperating, I have space for them to safely and comfortably reside in.

About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.

About: I have always had pets. Whether fish, cats, dogs, small birds. They are part of my family! I’m devoted! And have even resuscitated a gold fish! I work part time during the week watching my grandkids but otherwise have no obligations except to care for your fur babies and ensure your peace 😉 I will ask for instructions and follow them to ensure your pets routine and comfort is foremost beyond keeping doors shut for security. I will not use or bring other pets or materials into your home that would compromise your pets peace and safety. My children are now adults with lives of their own. So I have plenty of time for your fur babies. So, no worries. When I’m caring for your fur-baby, I will always consider your pets safety and well-being first. I understand that little dogs can be fragile. :-) I prefer to care for your pets in your home if possible. Otherwise they must be socialized and okay with my cat. My home is small but I have a yard and lots of walking available - Cats are usually drop-ins at Your home, but if in mine; because I have cats (friendly), I wiIl always see/hear them and be well-looked after. :-)

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a young child & doggos have always been a special part of my life! They become important family members who give & get the unconditional love we all deserve! It’s hard some times when life takes us away from home & our doggies for longer than we’d like. Exactly the reason I would be the perfect person to love, snuggle, take care of & give your dogs the attention they want and need while you’re away or busy! puppers will always be able to depend on seeing my kind face and caring hand at times like these. Just as they support our emotional needs on a daily basis, I have come to love returning the small favor for them! I am home full time & dedicate my day to taking care of my kids, my doggo, my 2 docile kittens & my household. My time is not limited. My kids and I love to take walks with the dog, go to local dog parks occasionally when they are empty & clean, & play fetch in our large, clean yard!

About: I own two high-energy dogs, Josie and Stella, both raised from puppies, so I know how stressful puppy-parenting can be. Growing up on a farm surrounded by animals is where I developed my love for caring for them, and it’s where I learned responsibility. We often head to the farm for extra playtime and walks, so your pup will have plenty of fun, exercise, and love—no energy left behind! I’m currently in school for respiratory therapy, so I’ve cut back on my hours. I work every other weekend at a memory care/assisted living facility. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m in class from 9 AM to 2:30 PM. Other than that, I’m pretty available around my work and school schedule, and I can’t wait to care for and love your animals! I have two friendly, high-energy dogs who love to play! While we don’t have a fenced yard, we’re lucky to have country property with plenty of space to walk around the fields.

About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.

About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog

About: I’m an MFA candidate and I graduate spring of 2025. I work from home full time for a university evaluating transcripts. I love animals and I volunteer at the local humane society. Pets are akin to family/kids --- you just do it/take care of them as if they were -- which means, at times- putting their needs first I grew up in an environment where dogs/cats were given free rein of the home as if they were just another member of the family; I will respect other's desires if they chose to not have their animals on the furniture/all over the place, but I am comfortable with dogs/cats being everywhere/anywhere. I realize, that as they can be childlike -- there needs to be certain measures in place to ensure their safety, keeping things off the floor/ away from their inquisitive natures.

About: Hello my name is Eli I’ve had dogs and cats all my life so I feel fairly well trained to take care of your pets needs as well. My grandpa was a veterinarian so I spent a lot time growing up learning how to take care for animals being around him. My family and Friends have relied on me to take care of their pets in the past and I hope you will too. I am a college student and I have breaks throughout the day that I generally go home or in your case hopefully take care of your house or animal. And my nights are almost free every night. I would like to say that I will try to keep your homes and your pets safe and happy while keeping the house the way I found it when I arrive. I pride myself in being a polite, caring and empathetic person so I hope to please the client in anyway I can help.

We had a wonderful experience with Ruth on Rover! She was able to take our dog, Millie, on very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the moment we dropped Millie off, Ruth made us feel comfortable and confident that Millie was in great hands. Millie clearly had a great time during her stay. Ruth took excellent care of her and made sure she felt right at home. We really appreciated the photos Ruth sent while we were away—it was great to see how happy and comfortable Millie was. It looked like Millie had a blast going on walks and even getting to enjoy some car rides. We’re very grateful that Ruth was able to help us out with a last-minute booking and provide such great care. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their dog, and we would gladly book with her again!

She is a really good host. Right from the start itself their dog and our dog connected as they both are of same breed. She was really caring and gave us intermittent updates as well with photos and text of how our dog was doing. Her whole family got connected to our dog really well and provided a homely feeling for our dog. Will definitely recommend them and will like to rover with them again.

This was our first experience with Rover.com and Nellie had a wonderful time at Karen's "pet resort." I'm not certain there could be a better set up for a "city" dog to play on a farm. Karen has an amazing fenced area with lots of opportunity for interaction with her dogs as well as others. She has a great set up for outside play and indoor boarding. I felt very comfortable leaving Nellie in Karen's care.
