Mary was the perfect choice for our dog Max and I am so glad I found her! She had a large yard for him to roam around in and she gave him so much love and attention. She also provided us with daily updates which the kids loved! I felt comfortable leaving him with her and was confident he was well taken care of and being spoiled. I will definitely use her the next time we need someone to care for Max!

He’s very diligent about keeping in touch and sending pictures, which we love. I can’t say enough about Derek and his family… Your dog would be in perfect loving hands with them if you ever need to be away. Thank you, Derek!

A very loving family with lots of pet experience. They were able to teach my dog how to “drop” a ball after fetching. Before she would not want to give it up after fetching a toy. They also helped her learn how to get along with other dogs.

She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program, so I am available at any time you will need care for your pet, any day, night, week, or weekend! Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.

About: I am a pediatric nurse. I have close to 10 years of dog and cat experience through family pets and recently a diabetic dog named Dexter (has since passed away) I have experience providing oral and injectable medications for dogs. I work three 12-hour shifts per week but each week varies. However, I have flexibility in choosing what days I want to work. I'm typically up at 5am for work so if you need to drop your pet off early or need early check ins I'm available! I live in a single family home with wife. We have safety gates and crates in our home for when we have to step out of the house. I will separate our dog from other dogs if necessary. Food is always kept in a safe spot that no dog can get into. Our subdivision is surrounded by open fields so there are plenty of areas to walk. The backyard is large and fenced in. Fence does not have slats so next door dogs do not have a way in unless we want them for playtime. I walk our dog multiple times a day for potty breaks/exercise. I always walk our dog with a leash and will do so with other dogs. I love to snuggle and play with dogs and will do so with yours! I am happy to meet in advance to discuss any needs required and to make sure I am the best fit for your dog! As a dog parent I understand that dogs are a member of the family that require special care. I want to provide the best, stress-free care for your pup. I can check in as often as you request and will provide pictures and updates throughout the service.

About: We currently foster a variety of different dogs through out the year. We are used to quirky behaviors, shy pups, and just getting dogs to become comfortable with us and our home. We are very adjustable to different dog personalities and requirements, and will be flexible with your needs, and how the dog reacts to us in our home or yours. We have owned many pets in our lifetime, including dogs (as well as fostering). We are well versed in activity, playtime, and training. We love to play fun activities with our dogs such as obstacles, finding treats, water playtime and more! *We will never have a foster dog at the same time we are dog sitting in our home. I work part time from home, and my husband works from home as well. A dog staying in our care will have many walks through out the day, and will be able to go outside every few hours. We have very flexible schedules and outside of a random weekday activity, your pet will be our primary responsibility. In our home, we will tailor set up and activity based on the pet's needs. We are open to using crates, beds, free roaming based on what the pet is used to and comfortable with. We have kids in the home who are very used to working with new animals, especially animals who have come for traumatic environments so they know what to do around new animals-- slow introductions if needed, calm environment, playing in separate rooms etc. We will work with the personality of your dog!

About: Hello, I'm a dog lover, of all breeds, big and small and everything in between. I truly believe that your precious canine/feline will be truly at home with me. Animals off all sizes and breeds are special to me and also to God. I know I have a couple less than desirable reviews, but they were total misunderstandings. Unfortunately they stay on my page which makes me so sad because it gives me great joy to be there and stand in the gap for these precious animals. I also watch caged pets. I am very flexible, available at a moments notice. I love all animals and do everything in my power to accommodate. I'm not perfect but I love all animals perfectly. Another chance appreciated!!

I understand how crazy busy life can get and sometimes you need a little help at home, that’s where I come in! At work and thinking of your pup? I’ll check in and let you know how thier day is going, including a picture/video of how happy they are! Going on vacation? I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention they crave. Love and care is what I can provide, just let me know how I can help! I also offer nail trims and bathing/grooming services. All nice services to add on to drop in visits, that way you come back from vacation or a long day of work to a clean and happy pet. Feel free to ask me questions and fill me in on how your family is in need of assistance! My schedule is mostly open. Just quick trips for school drop offs, which if your pup likes car rides they are welcome to come! I work from home. I respect privacy and preference. I understand how particular animals can be and will always follow the owners lead on what to do/not to do. I also never post anything on social media unless I get your approval ahead of time.

This is our second time we have Jackie but having another second dog is a little bit more challenging but it all went well as expected. Jackie always keeps us all updated with photos and videos that really makes us feel happy and secured that our furbabies are safe and well taken care of. Definitely Charlie had so much fun playing with the other dogs and Pebbles enjoyed watching them. Thank you again Jackie for keeping our furbabies for the day. We will absolutely see you again!

About: From long walks, to extreme belly rubs, I’ve done it all. As a former dog owner of 8+ years, I know firsthand that pets are family. I’ve cared for pups of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from high-energy adventurers to senior snugglers who just want a cozy spot and some quiet company. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or sticking to a precise feeding and medication schedule, I treat every dog with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs if your dog loves fetch at sunset or needs a little extra encouragement to take their meds, I’ve got it covered. You can count on consistent communication, detailed updates, and (of course) plenty of photos during our time together. I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and at home even when you’re away. Let me know what makes your pet special, and I’ll make sure they get the personalized care they deserve! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or feeding, I always make sure pets get the attention and care they need. I thrive on creating a structured yet fun schedule that keeps dogs happy, healthy, and loved every day. I work from home and can be extremely flexible in between meetings or tasks so the pet comes first! To ensure a safe environment, I make sure windows and balconies are securely closed or have pet-proof screens. I also create a designated play area where pets can enjoy themselves without accessing unsafe spots or hazardous items. Along with providing plenty of safe, non-toxic chew toys, I keep their focus on fun, ensuring they’re entertained and not tempted to chew on furniture or anything harmful.

About: I am an animal lover, through and through. Dogs, cats, hedgehogs, birds… you name it. I treat my guest animals like my own and love on them as much as possible. I enjoy taking cute portraits of the pets in my care and I send lots of photos and written updates. I currently have a female Aussie/Pit mix, currently fostering a female Blue Doberman, and have had Doberman Pinschers in the past from puppies through old age until the rainbow bridge. I’m patient with puppies and elderly animals. I check to see which commands they know and how they have been trained to keep them consistent in my care, and have experience administering medications to them. Before joining Rover, I frequently dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently fully remote and based at home. I have a lot of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs. My schedule may change in the future but I will update my info when that happens. I have one female 7 year old Aussie/Pit Mix and one 2 year old foster female Doberman. I have a spare bedroom to host guests with their crates and belongings but during the day they are with me, within line of sight in my home. My yard is fenced (4ft) and only two steps to the yard from the door. There are no children living in my home. I live is a quiet neighborhood and can go for walks as needed.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program, so I am available at any time you will need care for your pet, any day, night, week, or weekend! Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.

About: Since a child, I have been trusted to watch, walk, and care for neighbors and friends dogs. I still care for my friends and families dogs. I grew into loving the difficult dogs, training lots of different sports and dog behavior. I love seniors/special needs who just need some TLC. Puppies are my absolute favorite. I enjoy the bond and training from the start. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom looking to start working again and thought this would be a great fit due to my passion with animals. I have a flexible schedule and am available to board most days. Dogs will be given love and attention, play, walks, really whatever they are into or owner needs. My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it. I have 3 custom built in crates that are massively oversized. I can keep dogs separate from my own or integrate. I absolutely love working with puppies and dogs and exposing them to new fun things!

I stick to routines and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in school Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM–1:30 PM, so I’m generally available for pet care outside of those hours. I’m also pretty flexible with scheduling and happy to work with your pet’s routine! I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable while in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions and give pets the attention and care they need.

About: I live in an apartment and am unable to keep a pet due to the lease conditions. This has left me with a hole in my heart for connection with pets. I would adore the opportunity to spend time with your pet and care for them. Growing up, we had a yellow Labrador Retriever named Sandy who I felt was the best dog we could possibly have asked for. I trained her, taught her tricks, and played with her almost constantly. In more recent years, I took care of Daisy who was a medium sized mixed breed with spunk. She belonged to an ex-partner and I cared for her as if she was my own. She needed lots of stimulation and outlet for energy as well; we had multiple walks a day and it was fun to see her solving playful challenges I made. I grew up around rabbits that I adored, and even dressed them up in my doll’s clothes! My sister and I later raised rabbits for several years. We brought them everywhere we could and had special harnesses and leashes to walk them around the neighborhood or pet store, etc. They also liked to run around our backyard with our dog. I am comfortable around cats, hairless or not! I allow them to approach me, rather than crowd their space. When they want to, I love cuddling with cats and feeling them purr. I have usually cared for multiple cats at once. Although I have never lived with a cat, I am confident in caring for them and interacting with them. My roommate has six ferrets and they each hold a little piece of my heart. I give them medication when she is stuck at work late, and let them out to play. They are such curious and playful little creatures! Staying late at the office? Let me stop by to feed, pet, play with, and exercise your pet. No time in the early mornings or during lunch? Let me take the time you wish you had to care for them. While my own home is not pet friendly, I am happy to visit yours. If your pet has a routine and schedule they are on, I want to keep that seamlessly running for you. If your pet is adventurous, I want to keep them engaged.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life, so your furry friends will be in very experienced hands. I find genuine joy in being around animals and truly love the bond that comes with pet sitting. Since I believe staying active is essential for a happy pet, I especially enjoy taking dogs on long walks. It’s a great way for them to burn off energy and explore, providing a mutual benefit of exercise and fresh air for both myself and your pup! Lifelong Experience: Hands-on care with a variety of animals since childhood. Large Animal Familiarity: Comfortable and capable with both large and small dogs Active Care Style: Dedicated to ensuring your pet gets the movement and stimulation they need. I’m currently a full time college student and attend classes two days a week. This allows me to have an open and consistent schedule to care for the needs of clients! Growing up, I participated in dog obedience training with my county’s 4-H program. This experience allows me to promote a safe and nurturing environment while allowing the dog to have a positive experience.

About: I am a pediatric nurse. I have close to 10 years of dog and cat experience through family pets and recently a diabetic dog named Dexter (has since passed away) I have experience providing oral and injectable medications for dogs. I work three 12-hour shifts per week but each week varies. However, I have flexibility in choosing what days I want to work. I'm typically up at 5am for work so if you need to drop your pet off early or need early check ins I'm available! I live in a single family home with wife. We have safety gates and crates in our home for when we have to step out of the house. I will separate our dog from other dogs if necessary. Food is always kept in a safe spot that no dog can get into. Our subdivision is surrounded by open fields so there are plenty of areas to walk. The backyard is large and fenced in. Fence does not have slats so next door dogs do not have a way in unless we want them for playtime. I walk our dog multiple times a day for potty breaks/exercise. I always walk our dog with a leash and will do so with other dogs. I love to snuggle and play with dogs and will do so with yours! I am happy to meet in advance to discuss any needs required and to make sure I am the best fit for your dog! As a dog parent I understand that dogs are a member of the family that require special care. I want to provide the best, stress-free care for your pup. I can check in as often as you request and will provide pictures and updates throughout the service.

Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!

Mary was the perfect choice for our dog Max and I am so glad I found her! She had a large yard for him to roam around in and she gave him so much love and attention. She also provided us with daily updates which the kids loved! I felt comfortable leaving him with her and was confident he was well taken care of and being spoiled. I will definitely use her the next time we need someone to care for Max!

We have been taking our dog Bear to Derek for almost 2 years now. Some of our trips have been pretty long and every single time bear has gotten the best care from him and his family. He’s very diligent about keeping in touch and sending pictures, which we love. I can’t say enough about Derek and his family… Your dog would be in perfect loving hands with them if you ever need to be away. Thank you, Derek!

The furbabies had so much fun at Jessica's and were "dog tired" the entire next day following their return home. Booking was easy, pick up and drop off were a breeze, and she even sent a video of the dogs playing! Will book again.

The dogs had a great time during their first stay here! Sumer and her family were able to take them some what short notice as our long time boarder was unexpectedly moving out of town and we really appreciated that. They took great care of the dogs and our dogs had fun playing with their pups. They have a good size backyard and we were happy to get pictures and updates that they were doing well. Thanks again!

I can not say enough positive about Deanne. She was wonderful with Payton and Abby!!! We received several pictures and updates during their stay which was very comforting. They felt at home enough to sleep with Deanne at night and sit with her husband on the couch during his free time. I would never hesitate to leave them again. Thank you so much for caring so well for our babies!!

Meredith was so great at keeping me informed and sending pictures of my pup while we were away on our trip. She seems to really know a lot about dogs and I love the fact that she has veterinary tech experience and dog training certification! My pup was very happy there and I will certainly use Meredith again!

Tanya and her children were so loving and kind when it came to caring for my very active puppy Draco. I loved the daily updates and was even gifted an adorable Christmas ornament of my baby 💙. My puppy slept the entire day after pick so I know he enjoyed himself 🤣 Draco loved staying with you guys and I will definitely book in the near future.
