“Mary did and excellent job of taking care of my dog Clyde. She exceeded my expectations. You can see her love for animals and the joy it brings her. She welcomed my dog into her home like he was her own. I can't thank her enough for taking such good care of Clyde. Mary now is my go to dog sitter. Thank you again!”

“Theresa is simply amazing. She came through for my fur baby at the last minute when we needed to leave town. She was kind, patient and answered all of my questions to help soothe any anxieties with leaving my fur baby in someone else’s care. She was on time for pickup and drop off. She sent pictures and responded to text and phone calls promptly. You can’t go wrong with Theresa!!”

“family 3 times now, and have had a great experience each and every time. They are the first people that we have ever had watch him, and to be honest we’re pretty nervous about it. We even scheduled an overnight for him to try it out, on a night when we were not even going anywhere, so that we could make sure he did ok and that we were comfortable leaving him in their hands Lisa and Russ (her husband) are so friendly and from the moment we drove up the first time, they made us and Nico feel welcome. They showed us around and introduced Nico to their two dogs one at a time, making sure they got along and didn’t overwhelm each other. By the time we left, I don’t think Nico even noticed, because he was having such a blast. Lisa is great about sending updates and photos of his stay, and always has a fun story about his stay when we come back to pick him up. While it’s never easy to leave your pup in the hands of others, we feel very grateful to have found a great home away from home for Nico when we can be with him!”

About: We have had a dog or dogs for over 20 years. My husband and I both grew up with dogs as well. Our two dogs have been with us since they were puppies and both of them attended three levels of dog training classes. I work part-time very early in the morning and we spend a lot of time at home because my kids are homeschooled. There is usually always someone at home. I will do as much as I can to accommodate the dog owner’s preference in care for their dog. We have two dogs that can play with your dog. If your dog needs to be in a crate I can accommodate that. Our dogs are not allowed on the couches and chairs but my children do let them sleep in their beds.

We also had the pleasure of booking at the same time as Winston’s cousin, Gus, so the two of them got to play together the entire time we were away. 😜 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Winston was happy, relaxed, and having the best time!”

About: Friendly, warm, and welcoming. I have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to roam in my home plus a fenced in backyard. I've had dogs in the home since I was child and have been caring full-time for my dog for 7 years. I have previous experience with in-home boarding for some of my co-workers and have cared for dogs with nervous bladders. I currently work full time, but am always home in the evenings for plenty of playtime and walks. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times with at least a day's notice to work with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam inside my home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture or in bed if they need some extra cuddle time. I can crate your dogs if needed during the day and my own pup is crate trained for while I'm away.

“Madison did such a great job with Cooper! His excitement, new environment jitters and eating too fast caused him to vomit the first couple of days. Madison handled it like a pro, she seeked guidance from the vet who confirmed what seemed to be happening. She adjusted his food intake to help him keep food down and made some other changes which fixed the problem! Goose, their dog, was a wonderful big brother to Cooper and they all gave him love like he was their own. Cooper was taken on lovely walks on trails and to the dog park and Goose also shared his antlers with Coop which is now his favorite thing to chew! We were very happy with the care given to our crazy little kid and Madison went over and beyond!”

“Our 15 month old Maltipoo had never spent a night apart from us and had limited interaction with other dogs. We had a need for an overnight stay and decided to try Rover which led us to Emily and Thomas as they lived close by. We are so very thankful that we found them! They spent three days in a week leading up to the stay having Charlie come over for walks and spent time inside their place trying to get him used to a new environment. They were so patient with him and so kind to him. They sent pictures and videos to help reassure us that he was doing well. They really went above and beyond in every way and we can recommend them highly enough! We can’t wait to have them sit with Charlie again later this summer and have him play with Monster! Thank you, Emily and Thomas!”

About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me. I am free most mornings and nights and have longer breaks during my work day that would allow flexibility for drop ins and walks all week. I am able to come to your home and provide for your pet's needs including walks, feeding, potty breaks etc. I've even been known to clean a litter box or two. Can provide references upon request.

About: Safety is always my number one priority, and snuggles are a close second. While I don’t consider myself a professional dog trainer, I have a lot of hands-on experience training my own dogs and enjoy doing fun, light basic training with pups who are willing participants. Above all, my goal is to make your pet feel completely comfortable and happy in my care whether that means going for walks, getting extra snuggles, or engaging in a little positive, low-pressure training. I work part-time for my family business and have the flexibility to take my work with me anywhere. That means your pet gets plenty of attention and care! I truly love animals and make them a natural part of my daily life, it’s something that brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment I have three playful, friendly, and highly socialized dogs in my home. Crating is available if needed for your pet’s comfort and safety. My yard features a secure 6-foot privacy fence with plenty of space for your dog to run, play, and explore.

My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.

About: I currently have two small dogs who I take care of full time. I’ve had them for 5 years now. I love playing with dogs, rubbing their tummy, or just hanging out with them. If your dog has separation anxiety that will not be a problem. One of my dogs is the same way and I wouldn’t mind being there full time for your dog. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly because most of my days consist of being home taking care of my two small dogs. I’m also a nursing student so it helps that I have a lot of time after studying to play with the dogs/puppies. I have a fenced yard. It is pretty big. In order to keep my dogs safe I always make sure doors are closed before letting them out and as a special precaution I like to add an AirTag to their collars in case anything happens (has not happened yet but it’s better to be safe than sorry).

“Let me start off by saying that Ella was absolutely amazing!!! I mean from start to finish she is phenomenal, her energy is amazing and she took care of my dog so so well!! She communicated the entire time and sent pictures and my dog looked replaced and happy! My dog is usually anxious in the car but for some reason when I picked her up she was relaxed and calmed which ensured she was comfortable and is beginning to recognize that I will always come back got her. Ella you are truly an angel and I look forward to future visits”

About: Get ready for your dog to be spoiled! I am the owner of a 7 acre mini Farm home! Your dogs will absolutely love it here! There are lots of trees around and beautiful grass for them to run around in here. I have always been a natural when it comes to pets, but specifically I love dogs, especially really big dogs! I have had dogs my entire life and I now have a small Shepherd Lab mix at home. I make it a priority to make sure that your dogs are well taken care of, well fed, have lots of fun, and get lots of exercise! So it's more than just a regular boarding/walking experience. Also I am a bit of a photographer so plan on getting lots of beautiful pictures of your dog on the farm from me during their visit. I also have two older daughters who are absolute animal lovers and will play and pet your pups consistently while they are here. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets, I an usually always home unless I am on a call for thr fire station. My land is not fully fenced off so If need be I will have to walk pups on a leash which is not a problem at all.

Lots of smells and experiences to enjoy on a farm! I have a fenced in indoor and outdoor play area for my dogs. I leash all dogs while not in designated dog areas. Designated potty breaks, supervised play time with adequate rest as well.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a dog of my own, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with the everyday needs of dogs, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions so they feel safe, comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the care and companionship they need. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. As I return to nursing, I plan to continue offering pet care on my days off, making Rover a great way for me to stay active and spend time with your pets 💕 For now, I’m offering drop-in visits and dog walking rather than boarding pets in my home. I’m happy to visit your home, take your dog outside for a potty break or walk, provide fresh food and water, and spend some time giving them attention and companionship. I’m a calm, caring, and responsible person, and I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I’m especially interested in dogs who are comfortable with walks and drop-in care and who are able to follow basic commands. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide so you can feel confident that your pup is well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.

“family 3 times now, and have had a great experience each and every time. They are the first people that we have ever had watch him, and to be honest we’re pretty nervous about it. We even scheduled an overnight for him to try it out, on a night when we were not even going anywhere, so that we could make sure he did ok and that we were comfortable leaving him in their hands Lisa and Russ (her husband) are so friendly and from the moment we drove up the first time, they made us and Nico feel welcome. They showed us around and introduced Nico to their two dogs one at a time, making sure they got along and didn’t overwhelm each other. By the time we left, I don’t think Nico even noticed, because he was having such a blast. Lisa is great about sending updates and photos of his stay, and always has a fun story about his stay when we come back to pick him up. While it’s never easy to leave your pup in the hands of others, we feel very grateful to have found a great home away from home for Nico when we can be with him!”

Our two dogs have been with us since they were puppies and both of them attended three levels of dog training classes. I work part-time very early in the morning and we spend a lot of time at home because my kids are homeschooled. There is usually always someone at home. I will do as much as I can to accommodate the dog owner’s preference in care for their dog. We have two dogs that can play with your dog. If your dog needs to be in a crate I can accommodate that. Our dogs are not allowed on the couches and chairs but my children do let them sleep in their beds.

“Morgan was very flexible and accommodating. She provided lots of pictures of the dogs during their stay with her and they seemed to have a blast. Would definitely use Morgan again.”

“If I could leave more stars I would. Ali is genuinely a wonderful sitter and is obviously a dog lover through and through. She took the best care of our Emma. Her communication is wonderful, we received plenty of updates and great pictures while we were in vacation. She has moved to #1 on our list of available sitters, no one else even comes close.”

“Teddy had a great stay with Kate! We loved getting photo updates, and it was such a thoughtful touch that she sent him home with his favorite toy (Patrick Star!) and a goodie bag. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Kate again in the future.”
