This is the first time I have boarded my dogs, and the first time being away from my younger dog since rescuing him from the shelter. Pamela was so warm and welcoming, the dogs were relaxed and happy in her care. She sent me pictures and updates every day. She was extremely flexible as we navigated our return across three states to try and beat a winter storm. I could see from the way they interacted with her when I picked them up that they adored her. We will\nDefinitely use her again!

About: I have at somepoint had 100+ pets with my ex that we took care of together. I have adopted "agressive" pets only for them just needing a loving home to feel comfortable. We also fostered a bunch of pets to help when APL was struggling for space. I do have a very busy schedule myself. However I make time to spend with our pets. We make homemade food for them and have a bunch of toys for them to play with. My partner is a stay at home spouse so no one gets into too much mischief. I view pets as family members and they have the comfort of laying on the couch and bed with us. We have a decently big yard with a fence for them to run about and have outside time.

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!

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

On short notice, we were invited to stay with family in the Springfield, Il area, in the midst of a cross county trip with our two small dogs. The only catch was the place we were staying didn't allow dogs. We found Tara on Rover.com and it was a perfect match! She was wonderful with our rescue pups and we were able to relax and visit with family knowing they were safe in her loving home and not stressed out in a kennel somewhere. Thanks to Tara we all ha

Laura G. was an excellent catsitter with my big elder kitty, Axel. She was wonderful about establishing trust with a meet and greet, and she was flexible with our needs for Axel overnight. 10/10 experience...when I got home from out of town, I could truly tell that Axel had been cared for and adored. Laura is a total professional; the photos and videos of our beloved Axel while we were away was a nice touch every day. Laura also respected our home greatly. I felt very safe leaving instructions for Axels care and our house with Laura G. We appreciated her so much and absolutely will use her services again. Axel says thanks Laura and hopes he gets to hang out with you again soon! Use Laura, she is a rare gem!

About: HUGE dog lover, who has taken care of my own dogs, friend's dogs, and rescue group dogs for over 15 years. My very first dog soulmate, was Chesie. I had her since she was three months, until, very recently, she passed just after her 15th birthday. I also worked at a no-kill shelter and have worked with various rescue organizations. I have been developing a doggy daycare and boarding center in my community. It is close to becoming a reality! I currently work just three days a week. I am off every other weekend. I have way too much time on my hands and would love to fill it with dog slobbers! With lots of LOVE! I have a fully fenced yard and your baby will be cared for in my home with potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I will do crate training as needed, but they would primarily be free roaming.

Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.

About: I have cared for and watched after a variety of furry friends. Big or small, I love them and often times they love me back. I am currently working from home full time so I will have plenty of time to play with and spoil your fur baby. This also gives me plenty of opportunity to be with some of the babies that aren’t accustomed to being alone throughout the day! I have an open floor plan which allows me to keep an eye on your fur babe at all times. I also have a balcony that helps with getting plenty of fresh air even on cold or rainy days.

About: In my 10 years of pet sitting, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible mark on my heart. From energetic pups to wise senior dogs, I have witnessed the incredible bond that exists between pets and their owners. Through walks in the park, cozy snuggles, and endless playtime, I have come to understand the true joy and responsibility that comes with providing exceptional care for these beloved family members. My carefully crafted schedule for taking care of pups seamlessly integrates into my lifestyle, ensuring their needs are met while allowing me to maintain a balanced routine. With a structured approach, I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime sessions, tailored to each dog's unique requirements. This allows me to accommodate their specific needs while still managing my own commitments, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between their well-being and my personal life. This works especially well with my work from home job! At the forefront of my dog sitting service is a steadfast commitment to the safety, trust, and well-being of every dog under my care. I maintain a secure and pet-friendly environment, meticulously inspecting and childproofing the space to eliminate any potential hazards. With a vigilant eye and responsible supervision, I create a space where dogs can freely explore, play, and interact with peace of mind, fostering a trusting bond between myself and these furry companions.

About: I grew up always having/taking care of dogs. I also pet sit regularly now. I love animals and would love to have this as something to do outside of work! I also have two kitties named Blue and Harley, so have a lot of experience with cheeky cats, too. I currently work from home, so all I need is my hotspot and laptop. I can house sit for you basically for any length of time and any day/time. I have reliable transportation. I try to leave the home as good as or better than I found it. I truly do love caring for animals.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 5 years. This and caring for my own dog has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when it comes to pet care. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and understand that every dog has different needs. I make it a priority to keep owners updated and reassured! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care that they need! I will be completely transparent with my schedule, while also making sure that your dog is a priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks while also respecting the owner’s instructions and household rules. During walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, staying aware of surroundings, and making sure pets are comfortable and hydrated. I always treat clients’ homes with respect, keep the environment clean, and provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands!

We have had Chelsea in our lives for over a year. She has been with us for our fostering and a recent adoption of another kitty. We have a total of 6 pets (1 dog and 5 kitties) she looks after when we are on vacation. During the week, she comes over 3 times a week to walk our lab. She is definitely an adopted member of our family. Our lab goes flying through the house when she hears the front door unlock and several of our cats will even come running. Everyone in our house loves Chelsea. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her not only as a sitter, but as a person. You will not be disappointed with the care and love she gives your furbabies.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 and love to play with and walk dogs of all kinds! Since I have a dog of my own I can only come to your house to sit but your dog will be in the comfort of their own home while I take care of them. I just quit my restaurant job and am looking for new ways to make money for the summer and beyond, so since I love dogs so much I figured this would be perfect. That being said I’m pretty much free all the time now. I will always make sure your dog does their business when I let them out and take them for walks and make sure they have a good time doing it. And when I house sit I will make sure they’re in the same type of environment as when you’re home with them.

About: I've been a proud pet parent for over 25 years, and my love for animals goes all the way back to childhood. My fur babies are truly part of the family, and I’d treat yours with just as much love and care! Right now, I share my home with two wonderful companions: Finny Finster, a lively nine-month-old Shepsky pup who's full of personality, and Zahra, a graceful and independent two-year-old long-haired cat. Being deep in the puppy training stage with Finny has given me fresh experience and lots of patience, so I’d be more than happy to help care for your pup, too! I also have a soft spot for senior dogs. My sweet beagle, Jayne, was with me for 14 wonderful years. In her later years, she faced several health challenges, including injuries to both back legs and an eye tumor. I adapted my home to make life easier and more comfortable for her and administered her medications with care and lots of love. Whether your pet is a bouncing puppy or a wise old soul, I’m here to give them the same warmth, attention, and affection I give my own. I have a flexible schedule, allowing for drop-in visits and walks during the day. I am also available on Saturdays and Sundays to provide any services you may need. I’d love to take care of your pets right in your home, where they’re most comfortable. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: Hi! I’ve lived in Chatham my whole life, but I’m new to Rover & would love to start taking care of more animals I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I got my first dog in 6th grade (he’s still with me almost 18 years later). I’ve dog sat for both friends and family many times. I’ve walked dogs since I was little too. I’ve got 3 of my own! Plus 3 cats. I’m a huge animal lover and have adopted all of mine from the shelters (except for my 17 year old Maltese). If I had enough money, I’d open an animal shelter of my own. I love to go on long walks and runs and always take my dogs with me. I work full time so nights and weekends are usually my availability right now. I work from home part of the week too so I can be flexible those days! I have a big fenced in yard with 3 dogs of my own. All of them are friendly but I can crate dogs if necessary.

This is the first time I have boarded my dogs, and the first time being away from my younger dog since rescuing him from the shelter. Pamela was so warm and welcoming, the dogs were relaxed and happy in her care. She sent me pictures and updates every day. She was extremely flexible as we navigated our return across three states to try and beat a winter storm. I could see from the way they interacted with her when I picked them up that they adored her. We will\nDefinitely use her again!

About: I have at somepoint had 100+ pets with my ex that we took care of together. I have adopted "agressive" pets only for them just needing a loving home to feel comfortable. We also fostered a bunch of pets to help when APL was struggling for space. I do have a very busy schedule myself. However I make time to spend with our pets. We make homemade food for them and have a bunch of toys for them to play with. My partner is a stay at home spouse so no one gets into too much mischief. I view pets as family members and they have the comfort of laying on the couch and bed with us. We have a decently big yard with a fence for them to run about and have outside time.

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!

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

The only catch was the place we were staying didn't allow dogs. We found Tara on Rover.com and it was a perfect match!
