Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ashland
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ashland
“Kari is so wonderful with the animals she cares for. I could tell by the way my dog Ruger acted as soon as he entered her home. Usually when I pick him up, he let's me know that he's not pleased I was gone, but after a stay with Kari he is totally calm and happy. Thanks for taking such great care of my boy!”
“Our pup’s stay with Karen went so well- we highly recommend her and will definitely be bringing our puppy back! Karen was so easy to work with and knew just how to deal with our attention grabbing Yorkie/Pomeranian. He also got to socialize with other dogs which is crucial for him right now. He came home relaxed and calm and we felt good knowing he was in good hands.”
“Pam was great with my dogs. She gave consistent updates and even contacted me about a concern with one of the dogs. She and her family were caring and the dogs seemed to enjoy their time with her. I would definitely use her again when the need arises.”
“Kimberly was great! It was my first time using this app and leaving my dog in the care of a stranger. But my pup was right at home as soon as she arrived. Kimberly sent the cutest photos and updates. I knew my pup was in good hands. And when I went to pick up my pup, she was excited to see me but went back inside like she was totally down with not leaving.”
“Milo appeared to have a wonderful time with Sarah and Todd. I have no reservation to leave him with them again. The proximity to their home and mine is also a positive factor. They were so positive in showing pictures of him to me. They also made comments about his behavior which I appreciated and gave me much comfort. I had no worries about his care. He enjoyed playing with the other dogs that they boarded and experienced his first cat! All went very well with his first home boarding adventure with this family.”
“It was comforting to know that Pepper was in a comfortable space, room to run outside, with plenty of people and pup friends to keep him occupied while we were on vacation! Kyle and Lyndzie sent lots of updates throughout the week too! Gave us peace of mind and we would definitely book with them again!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. My daughter and I watched pet from when she was 13 till she went to college. I have experience with my own pets puppies through senior.

I will do house sitting and drop ins. My dogs are treated like our kids. Will walk, play, snuggle and anything else they need. ❤️
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with Ark! He is a young, high-energy puppy who can definitely be a handful, but she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I would trust her with Ark again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Ashley!”

“Morgan was awesome with taking care of our four cats. I could not have asked for a better experience. I looked forward to getting the report and pictures of them each day. You can tell she is an animal person and my cats too right up with her, even our shy one. I would highly recommended using her to anyone and plan on booking again in the future!!”
“Loved having Mary take care of my cat! She was very communicative from the beginning. This is the first time I've used Rover, and it was so reassuring to have detailed reports and several pictures per visit. She also scheduled a pre drop-in meeting with me to get a feel for the space and meet my cat. I will definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for drop-ins!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ashland
“Kari was very quick to respond to my request for doggy daycare. She was ready for us when we arrived & greeted us in the driveway so we knew where to go. Kari & her husband are very kind, friendly, and welcoming. Highly recommend!”
“Karen was very accommodating for a last minute need! It was our first time using a daytime dog sitter and we were traveling. Our dogs seemed to have a great time and Karen provided many photos and updates showing how comfortable they seemed in her home. We would highly recommend her.”
“Kim did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! When I returned for pick up, my dog she was happy, tired from enjoying extensive play time, and well taken care of. I appreciated the excellent communication and updates throughout the day. I highly recommend Kim! I will definitely reach out to Kim for future bookings and dog daycare needs.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than my parents and Shadia was so great! Judy usually takes a minute or two to warm up but was drawn to his energy right away. He was communicative and patient with her. Highly recommend him! Thanks again Shadia, you’re a lifesaver! PS I’m so sorry she pooped in your house!!!”

“We were in town for work. Clyde spent the day with Samantha and her kids and dogs and he was so tired when I picked him up. It was exactly what we needed for Clyde. Samantha was very nice and communicated well with us. She took good care of our dog so we can enjoy some of our time while here for work. Samantha has a fenced in yard which made me feel safe with Clyde as he is a runner. Haha”

“Laura is so kind and patient with our nervous dog. She always provides feedback about any concerns and is very responsive and communicative when scheduling and timing out visits.”
About: I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. I also do graphic design work specifically for people and their animals. Happy to produce some pictures for you for an additional fee! I generally can do morning and PM visits for the pets! My schedule is NOT a 9-5, but I work around what I need to. Spending time with the pets is my favorite work I do! I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.
“I’m thankful that I found Andrew on here! Lady, our rescue has issues with strangers. Andrew and I scheduled several meet & greets along with a trial walk. I was extremely impressed with how gentle and patient he was with her, it seemed like a perfect fit. I went from being completely nervous booking to complete relief after her first walk with him. I definitely recommend him!”
