Jenny took such good care of my reactive dog! She was patient and understanding, and knew what to do to get my dog to warm up to her. She also sent a nice amount of photos and updates which I sincerely appreciated!

Angie was a LIFESAVER with our 7 and 3 year old lab and frenchton girls over Christmas! We had a meet and greet to discuss needs and concerns after initial booking inquiry and Angie was so optimistic about the stay at her home. During the stay, our girls had some anxiety and sick episodes but Angie was so attentive with updates and caring for them that put any worries at ease. The videos, pictures, and responsive texts made this first boarding/pet-sitting experience easy on both us humans and our dogs. Not to mention how Angie did all this over the Christmas holiday - I know Leia Pup and Penny loved their time with their "babysitter" watching Christmas movies and playing with other furry friends they made during the stay! THANK YOU ANGIE!

Shaun and Katie are fantastic! Their family played with and loved on my pup while I was away and sent me photos and videos. She had so much fun playing on their farm that it was like she was on her own vacation! Knowing she was being taken such good care of allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more. I’ve already rebooked them twice for this summer.

Jennifer was A++! This was the first time leaving our pup as he's only 6 months old. She sent us daily updates of him, videos of him playing with her dog, and he came home tired. We didn't worry about our pup for one minute while we were away. We would definitely book her again to care for our little Rowdy ❤️ Can't thank her enough for taking such good care of him!

I don't even know where to begin! This was the absolute best discovery for myself and Sammy Sue. Everything about Nicole's care was top notch. My dog has never come home so well adjusted and behaved from me being gone. Her fenced in back yard was an absolute life saver and Nicole's loving nature made Sammy feel right at home instantly. If you want your pet to receive %100 loving care while you are away then this is the place to take them! 5 stars all the way!!!!!!! We will be back for sure, as I will never board my baby girl again! So glad we found you Nicole!!!

About: I have two dogs right now. One is a yellow lab and the other is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The Spaniel is 3 and the lab is 2. So there is a lot of energy in the house. I have experience with walking them both while on camping trips, giving them baths, playing fetch and of course laying on the couch and cuddling. I also used to have an older Cavalier King Charles Spaniel so I have experience with all ages of dogs. I love to interact and give dogs all of my attention! I have currently just finished my first year of college at Buena Vista University. I am looking to make a little more money for this summer, and this job is something I know I would enjoy. I am not sure how my summer will plan out exactly yet, but I would love to make time and will be flexible! I live in the country with a 3 acre yard. There is plenty of room to run around and play fetch if needed. I also have two dogs on my own that are very friendly and playful, but can also be calmed if needed. I will respect your needs and wants as the dogs owner.

Jordon sends pictures everyday and to my surprise some of the pics….Oliver is sitting next to and relaxing with Jordon. He is very responsible & caring. He goes above and beyond. I will ask for Jordon every time I need someone to stay with Oliver while I’m away. Thank you, Jordon!

About: What sets me apart is my experience with a wide range of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also reptiles and small pets. I’ve spent years fostering, pet sitting, and walking dogs of all breeds and temperaments, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and individual needs. Whether it’s helping a shy rescue feel safe, caring for an energetic puppy, or tending to the unique needs of a senior pet, I’m patient, observant, and dedicated to making sure every animal feels comfortable and cared for. I treat each pet like my own—with plenty of attention, structure, and love. I currently care for animals full time, I run my own small rescue, and it gives me full flexibility to care for your animals like they are my own! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or taking them out for walks, my main priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, favorite toys, and walking routes—so they feel secure while you’re away. During visits, I always make time for play, cuddles, and attention, as well as fresh water and clean-up. On walks, I make sure your pet gets the right balance of exercise and fun, always keeping their safety and comfort in mind.

Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!

About: I've taken care of cats my entire life! My first ever sentence was "pretty kitty". :) Cats mean the world to me and I have a lot of experience catsitting for my neighbors & other such things with cats. I also have volunteer hours at my local animal shelter specifically with cat care. I own 3 cats of my own and would absolutely go to bat for any random cat I met on the street!!! Seriously, I used to argue with people in YouTube comment sections about how much I love cats. I have plenty of experience raising kittens (I've had lots of pregnant mamas over the years) and have steeled myself against the firey claws of. Cat claws. My cat likes to ride my shoulder like a parrot so y'know you get used to the sting. I would certainly love to bond with your cat (or cats! The more the merrier!) as they are my favorite thing in the world. Seriously, even my nickname is Kat!!! If you let me take care of your cats, you will be reincarnated as a beautiful lotus flower. My only wish in life is to kiss every kitty on their soft head..😊

About: I genuinely can't get enough cat time in my life and always like to get to know new kitties. I am a true cat nanny, with a peaceful energy that cats seem to appreciate. I appreciate all kinds of cats: wise, young, shy, intrepid, sassy, clever, curious, independent, anxious, cuddly, goofy, sweet, sensitive, and more. I’ve owned and fostered cats throughout my life. Now, getting my kitty fix by caring for others’ cats is the best fit until I settle in with my own cats again :)

I’m so grateful I tried Rover and found Ashley! When Ashley came over for a meet and greet, Jasmine immediately loved her! She is so kind, loving, and a personable. Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time and I always keep the water bowl full. My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the chance to meet y'all! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.

About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I am a current dog mom to a spunky 3 year old golden retriever. We spent two years training him in home and out. I am currently a work from home employee so I am happy to let the pups out at any time of the day and can walk them after work. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in!

I have used Angie for in home drop ins and in home day care at her place. I had a senior dog and she took the time to learn his needs, and understands the personality of high strung crazy golden retriever. Also love getting the text and picture updates. She was very willing to help me out when I was in pinch also!

About: What sets me apart is my experience with a wide range of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also reptiles and small pets. I’ve spent years fostering, pet sitting, and walking dogs of all breeds and temperaments, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and individual needs. Whether it’s helping a shy rescue feel safe, caring for an energetic puppy, or tending to the unique needs of a senior pet, I’m patient, observant, and dedicated to making sure every animal feels comfortable and cared for. I treat each pet like my own—with plenty of attention, structure, and love. I currently care for animals full time, I run my own small rescue, and it gives me full flexibility to care for your animals like they are my own! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or taking them out for walks, my main priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, favorite toys, and walking routes—so they feel secure while you’re away. During visits, I always make time for play, cuddles, and attention, as well as fresh water and clean-up. On walks, I make sure your pet gets the right balance of exercise and fun, always keeping their safety and comfort in mind.

Angie was a LIFESAVER with our 7 and 3 year old lab and frenchton girls over Christmas! We had a meet and greet to discuss needs and concerns after initial booking inquiry and Angie was so optimistic about the stay at her home. During the stay, our girls had some anxiety and sick episodes but Angie was so attentive with updates and caring for them that put any worries at ease. The videos, pictures, and responsive texts made this first boarding/pet-sitting experience easy on both us humans and our dogs. Not to mention how Angie did all this over the Christmas holiday - I know Leia Pup and Penny loved their time with their "babysitter" watching Christmas movies and playing with other furry friends they made during the stay! THANK YOU ANGIE!

We didn't worry about our pup for one minute while we were away. We would definitely book her again to care for our little Rowdy ❤️ Can't thank her enough for taking such good care of him!

I don't even know where to begin! This was the absolute best discovery for myself and Sammy Sue. Everything about Nicole's care was top notch. My dog has never come home so well adjusted and behaved from me being gone. Her fenced in back yard was an absolute life saver and Nicole's loving nature made Sammy feel right at home instantly. If you want your pet to receive %100 loving care while you are away then this is the place to take them! 5 stars all the way!!!!!!! We will be back for sure, as I will never board my baby girl again! So glad we found you Nicole!!!
