“I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.”
“Danielle and her family took wonderful care of Olly over a holiday weekend. He’s an older dog who is sensitive to his care and surroundings and we are grateful for the careful, thoughtful care Danielle provided!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! This was my first time going through Rover and I am so happy we found her. She babysat biscuit for 2 nights for us and was very friendly, sent photos throughout the day and bonus she also had a mini doodle Gracie that got along great with our Biscuit. Overall very happy with her services! Would 100% book with her again in the future.”
“June is a fabulous calm and aware mother hen. I have an anxious 10 pound dog and she took very good care of her. She was worried about her. I knew my dog was doing well when I saw her tail up rather than between her legs. June sent beautiful photos of her relaxibg at her home. It was worth the hour drive to find someone as attentive and caring as June.”
“Fantastic! She provided regular updates and was so helpful. The backyard was a break place for our dog to be. Would totally have her again and have already booked another time!”
“Deanne is an awesome person! She gives all for your pet while under her care. It makes you feel really comfortable leaving part of your family with her. Thanks Deanne! I will use her care Each and every time.”
“Erika did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. Since this was our first vacation in several years, I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period. Lincoln, our senior, requires multiple medications and supplements, and Bella struggles with separation anxiety. Erika and Ryan were so reassuring during the meet-and-greet that I felt at ease immediately; seeing Bella flip over for belly rubs was the best sign! While we were away, we received photo and video updates twice a day. I loved her comments and how she picked up on our dogs personalities 😊 It was clear the dogs were happy, enjoyed their numerous walks, and was never left alone. I’m so grateful to have found Erika and Ryan —they truly understood our dogs' needs and gave them so much love!”
“I was thinking Casper may not want to come home, as it looked like he was having a good time and being spoiled. He was allowed on their sofa and on the bed (things he doesn't get to do at home, at least not while I'm in the room). Great experience and Emily has 2 boys that also gave Casper a lot of attention. I will definitely rebook again as needed.”
“Ashley took great care of our husky, Cleo. We got so many pictures and videos which was really appreciated! Ashley was very communicative throughout the stay. We would definitely board Cleo with her again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for doggie daycare and boarding in the area!”
“Carolyn was fantastic with our dog Ace during our 5 day long vacation! She sent daily photos and updates, followed his routine perfectly, gave him plenty of walks and playtime. Ace came home happy, tired, and clearly loved. We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely book Carolyn again soon!”
“I don't know where to start. They took care of our dog for 8 days and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying. I received daily updates with pictures, videos and kind words. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter’s family and I will use them again without doubt. Thank You!!”
“Carla was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my dogs - 3 of them none the less- with anyone and I was very nervous but she made me feel so much better and like they were left with family. On top of that, we had recently adopted a new puppy and she willingly took on them all and loved them as I do. She sent me pictures and videos multiple times a day (as she knew I was nervous) and my family and I loved seeing how happy they were and how loved they were. We are already planning to use her for our summer vacation. Highly recommend using Carla for your pups if you want them loved and cared for ❤️”
“She's simply the best! Reliable, caring, and good at keeping in touch. Sending me photos daily and brief updates on what Sugar is doing. Thank you, Beth! You made taking this vacation a little easier knowing Sugar was in good hands.”
“Mary took the best care of my special needs little girl. Daily pictures and updates made us feel so at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure our pup was as happy as possible while she was away from her family. We already booked with her again for our next get away. Highly recommend her!!”
“Kim was such a wonderful host to Pepper. We love all the pictures and her attention and care for ppper was greatly appreciated. Pepper has a great time and we were so happy with her. We definitely will use her service again.”
“Stella and her family were great with the pups and provided daily pictures and updates! Stella was great with making sure she understood each dog's individual needs during drop off and had everything ready to go right when we arrived for pickup. A great experience for dogs and humans alike!”
“Thank you Elaina and Joseph for allowing me to book with a short notice and for being very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Communication was excellent, constant updates and pictures, and great care. You'll definitely be my sitter of choice when I'm in the area. Thank you!!”

“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly!

I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!”

About: I’ve raised/trained my rescue pup Bear on my own from when he was 13 weeks old and now he is 6. And I’ve been around animals my whole life. I recently did I private group animal training session with Cesar Millan at his Dog Psychology Center. I also have volunteered at Wild Bird Rehab many times. Both Bear and I love having more pet company in the home. I’ve always had a deep love for animals - I’m so excited to meet your pet(s) and get to know their fun personalities and quirks! 💙 I work full-time from home. Meaning I will always be home with and monitoring your pet(s) during my work day. I take my dog on walks every morning and evening at Longview or Queeny. I have a very clean, safe, and peaceful apartment with a nice big deck - that my dog loves to sunbathe or people-watch on throughout the day. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard but there is a small fenced in dog park in my neighborhood that is rarely used by other dogs. I take my high-energy dog on two long walks a day (morning and night) with potty breaks around the neighborhood in between, so lots of walks are already a part of our daily routine. My dog is very gentle and submissive. Your fur baby will feel right at home with us!

About: I've often thought about how best to care for my pets when I go out of town. I would want them to be with someone who is loving and makes them feel as if they were with their owner. I would treat your pet the same way I treat mine, with love, care, and attention they need and deserve. We have a fenced yard, neighborhood sidewalks, and nearby walking. I'm super active and into health and fitness. I do crossfit during the week. "A dog is this only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself" I’m currently a stay at home mom to an 2yo, 8yo, and a 6mo puppy. I’ve grew up with dogs in my household. My schedule is pretty much open from 10am- 5pm. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is trained to be out of the cage while I’m gone.

I focus on building trust, reducing stress, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and secure.
“Can’t thank Dorene enough for taking my last minute request…. On an early Sunday morning! She was great and Rambo came back tired which can be hard sometimes as Rambo is an energetic bulldog! Thank you Dorene !!!”
About: It’s been a while since I offered services, but I’m getting back into it and would love to care for your babies! I have always been a dog owner - if I could rescue every dog in the world I would! Instead, I'll gladly help take care of other peoples' angels and call it a day. I recently lost my dog of 12 years and am ready to pour my puppy love into your dogs. I work from home so will always be around. I work from home so am always around - your dog will not be left alone! I will only accept bookings for days and times that I have nothing else planned so I can keep my focus on your animal! I have a yard that is partially fenced, so I will take your pup on walks or only be outside with them leashed. I take safety seriously!
About: I am back on Rover after taking a long break when a dear friend needed housing with her 3 dogs for an extended period. I have owned dogs for over 40 years. After losing my 16 yr old Aussie several years ago, I started watching friend's dogs to help my survivor pup adjust to the loss. My clients at Rover have been an absolute blessing for my own pets. Each weather permitting day includes 2 walks and lots of supervision and unlimited indoor/outdoor playtime at home. I provide very frequent outdoor breaks and a roomy backyard with a locked fence with security cameras that is perfect for active dogs to run. I am home all day. I have a huge soft spot and enormous patience for all animals, and will treat your family member with all the love that I have for my own. I text photo updates or snapchats to help you feel confident about how your pet is doing. I also honor your feeding schedule and will work with your pups needs to keep them (and you) as comfortable as possible while you are away. I offer overnight supervision or day care, a cage-free environment (if desired), care for elderly dogs, or dogs who require oral medication. *** In most cases, I limit myself to 2 overnight guest dogs (or 3 if from the same family), so that your pups get lots of focused attention and to reduce the amount of 'new stuff' that they would need to navigate during your absence. *** Last minute bookings are usually no problem as long as we can squeeze in a meet and greet. If I can help insure your peace of mind when you need to be away from your pet, please contact me with any questions that you may have! There is no obligation to inquire. I would be happy to help, and look forward to meeting you and four-legged family member! Karen I will have eyes on your pet all day long. I work from home and can address any pet needs immediately. They will not be left alone for more than the time it takes to run to the supermarket, and usually that is not necessary because I prepare for that in advance. I run every day and can take your pet with me if that is within their physical abilities, with your permission, of course. I watch dogs in my home only, but do send frequent updates to be sure that you are informed about how they are doing. I have a doubly locked fenced yard with security cameras.
“Monica and Eric were absolutely fantastic! The took the time to talk with us on a meet and greet a few days before we dropped our dog off. Our little guy had a great time with them and they sent multiple picutures thoroughout the day. We will definitely be using them in the future!”

About: I believe that every pet deserves individualized care and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine love and respect for animals, which I demonstrate by providing them with a nurturing, safe, and family-like environment. Your pet will never feel like they’re just another animal in a kennel – they’ll feel right at home, like part of the family. I can help puppies with basic commands and socialization, as well as offering gentle care to senior pets who require extra patience and special attention. A big part of my service is the daily walks. I understand how important it is for pets to get their daily exercise and mental stimulation. I make sure to provide enriching walks, whether it’s a calm stroll for a senior pet or a longer, more adventurous walk for an active dog. I adjust the walks according to the pet’s needs, and I always ensure they’re enjoyable, safe, and full of exploration. For added peace of mind, I share GPS-tracked walk updates, so you can follow along on your pet's experience.

Feel free to reach out at any time, and I’ll gladly arrange a time that works for you and your pet! When caring for pets in their own homes or taking them for walks, my primary focus is always on safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. In your home: I ensure the home is secure and free of hazards, paying close attention to areas where the pet may be most comfortable. I follow any special instructions from the pet owner regarding their pet’s habits, food, and preferences to maintain a consistent and safe environment. Whether I’m watching them at home or during a walk, I treat them with the same care as I would my own pets, ensuring they are always safe, comfortable, and happy. During walks: I prioritize safety by ensuring your dog is always under control, whether in urban or outdoor settings. I also ensure that pets are properly hydrated and not overexerted during their walks, adjusting the route and pace based on the pet’s age, size, and energy level. Trust is built by maintaining clear communication with the pet owner, regularly sending updates, photos, and videos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being and activities. This ensures the owners can trust that their pets are receiving the best care while they’re away.

I also have cared for two mini doodles for several weeks over the past few summers, along with the families pet lizard and guinea pig. Additionally, I regularly volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and play with dogs of all sizes and help feed and socialize cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to check in on your pets throughout the day! I can also take your dogs out for walks, multiple times a day if needed. I will follow instructions you leave to make sure I am giving your pets everything they need. I have no problem taking dogs to dog parks or for long walks depending on their needs.
About: I’ve had pet dogs most of my life. I take care and watch family and friends dogs and cats often. I currently have a cat and had a pet dog for 8 yrs. I’m new on Rover, which is why I don’t have any reviews yet. I do have lots of experience around dogs and animals. I love being around dogs. I’ve had my own yard care business for 8 years now. I’m responsible and reliable. I enjoy being around animals especially dogs. I look forward to meeting your pet! I can give attention at all hours to each pet. I can take dogs out for bathroom breaks when ever they need it. I can administer medication by mouth.
“Christina walked my 3 dogs daily while I was away. My dogs were very hesitant to walk at first and she was calm, patient and gentle with them to gain their trust. Her communication skills were excellent and she gave me frequent updates. I would hire her again to take care of my dogs.”
About: I have 5 years of animal experience with a variety of different animals. I have experience with dogs of all ages in a variety of sizes. My schedule very flexible so I can schedule animal care around any other appointments. I will be unavailable on Sunday mornings until 2pm and Monday afternoons from 1pm to 3pm.

“I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.”
“Fantastic! She provided regular updates and was so helpful. The backyard was a break place for our dog to be. Would totally have her again and have already booked another time!”
“Deanne is an awesome person! She gives all for your pet while under her care. It makes you feel really comfortable leaving part of your family with her. Thanks Deanne! I will use her care Each and every time.”
“Erika did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. Since this was our first vacation in several years, I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period. Lincoln, our senior, requires multiple medications and supplements, and Bella struggles with separation anxiety. Erika and Ryan were so reassuring during the meet-and-greet that I felt at ease immediately; seeing Bella flip over for belly rubs was the best sign! While we were away, we received photo and video updates twice a day. I loved her comments and how she picked up on our dogs personalities 😊 It was clear the dogs were happy, enjoyed their numerous walks, and was never left alone. I’m so grateful to have found Erika and Ryan —they truly understood our dogs' needs and gave them so much love!”
“I was thinking Casper may not want to come home, as it looked like he was having a good time and being spoiled. He was allowed on their sofa and on the bed (things he doesn't get to do at home, at least not while I'm in the room). Great experience and Emily has 2 boys that also gave Casper a lot of attention. I will definitely rebook again as needed.”
“Ashley took great care of our husky, Cleo. We got so many pictures and videos which was really appreciated! Ashley was very communicative throughout the stay. We would definitely board Cleo with her again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for doggie daycare and boarding in the area!”
“Carolyn was fantastic with our dog Ace during our 5 day long vacation! She sent daily photos and updates, followed his routine perfectly, gave him plenty of walks and playtime. Ace came home happy, tired, and clearly loved. We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely book Carolyn again soon!”
“Carla was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my dogs - 3 of them none the less- with anyone and I was very nervous but she made me feel so much better and like they were left with family. On top of that, we had recently adopted a new puppy and she willingly took on them all and loved them as I do. She sent me pictures and videos multiple times a day (as she knew I was nervous) and my family and I loved seeing how happy they were and how loved they were. We are already planning to use her for our summer vacation. Highly recommend using Carla for your pups if you want them loved and cared for ❤️”
“She's simply the best! Reliable, caring, and good at keeping in touch. Sending me photos daily and brief updates on what Sugar is doing. Thank you, Beth! You made taking this vacation a little easier knowing Sugar was in good hands.”
“Mary took the best care of my special needs little girl. Daily pictures and updates made us feel so at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure our pup was as happy as possible while she was away from her family. We already booked with her again for our next get away. Highly recommend her!!”
“Stella and her family were great with the pups and provided daily pictures and updates! Stella was great with making sure she understood each dog's individual needs during drop off and had everything ready to go right when we arrived for pickup. A great experience for dogs and humans alike!”
“Thank you Elaina and Joseph for allowing me to book with a short notice and for being very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Communication was excellent, constant updates and pictures, and great care. You'll definitely be my sitter of choice when I'm in the area. Thank you!!”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”
“Once again, Derek and his family took wonderful care of my dog Bear while we were on vacation. He and his family treat him like part of their family, and that’s what really matters to us. Thank you so much, Derek.”
“We had a two and a half week vacation planned to Japan and boarded Mochi with Dickson. I'm always quite nervous and anxious whenever I have to leave Mochi anywhere, let alone somewhere for over two weeks, but Dickson was very friendly and made it so I had nothing to worry about! He took care of Mochi really well and sent regular updates. When we picked her up, she came back happy and tired and loved. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”
“Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.”
“Willow was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It was nice knowing she was in good hands, especially since she’s still a puppy. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely book with them again.”
