“Chelsea watched my 14 year old dog for a weekend while I was away. I think he enjoyed it so much I have never seen him act better! Highly recommend if you have an older dog or one that needs a bit more attention!”
“Mariah was an excellent sitter for our girl Millie. She sent us lots of pictures, and Millie looked so happy and cared for. She got lots of walks and hikes, as well as indoor playtime with doggy games and puzzles. She was also generously flexible with our pickup time. We are extremely satisfied and will definitely be booking with Mariah again!”
“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”
“Mary Jane was wonderful with our dog, Cooper! We had to book last minute, but she made the time to meet up with us to meet Cooper and get familiar with him before he stayed the weekend with her. She kept us updated with pictures all weekend long and he seemed happy when we picked him up. She even bought him a new toy when they couldn't find his old one lol. She's a very sweet person and will be the first person we contact when we need another overnight sitter for our pup!”
“Becky has been awesome! She’s very communicative, sends us photos of our dogs everyday we’re gone, and I can tell how much she cares about our dogs. She is very thoughtful and tries to be flexible to meet your needs. I couldn’t recommend Becky enough!!!”
“We had the BEST experience with Celsei!!! This was our first time using rover because our boarding place couldn’t take our dog, Ronan, for the weekend. We received several much needed updates throughout his stay which helped these nervous parents remain comfortable! Not to mention, it was sort of last minute that we reached out, and Celsei had absolutely no problem taking him! We couldn’t be more thankful for her! ♥️”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“I recently boarded my dog, Bacon, here and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Destinee was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of him and made sure he was comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures (and how happy he looked!) that Bacon was having an absolute blast. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him. She truly treats your pet like family. Highly recommend!”
About: As a pet owner myself I know that our pets are our babies. (Lord knows I treat mine like my baby). I work from home so someone is always with your fur baby. We live about 5 minutes from Switchyard Park and like to walk the trail. Our apartment complex has a small dog park and a trail that is about half a mile long that we go on all the time. My dog is part husky so I know the importance of keeping dogs busy. We have multiple puzzles and toys ready to go. I’m very type A when it comes to my dog so you can expect the same with your pet. I’ll over communicate with you, send you photos daily, and let you know how your pup is adjusting. Safety and communication are always number one. I’ve grown up with pets all my life and baby sat for other dogs. My dog has some medical issues (a bad knee) so I’m no stranger to medication and keeping an eye out on existing injuries. If you want to meet up or see the environment your dog will be staying before hand, feel free to reach out to me! Since I work from home we take a lot of short walks through the day and I set up puzzles for them to play inside in case it’s too hot. I want to keep your dogs schedule as much as possible. A new environment for them can be stressful and if I can help ease some of that with following their schedule, I’m happy to do it! Your dog will have free range of our apartment. They’re allowed on all furniture and we have multiple dog beds in case they want their space. We have 2 crates in the house in case the dogs need to be crated and we will never have more than 2 dogs in the apartment (yours and mine only). We have a small dog park across the street of our apartment that will only be used if no other dogs are already there. Of course I will ask your preference if you’re comfortable with them going there or only walks.
“Lucy definitely made my dog feel comfortable. I appreciated the communication since I received a few pictures a day of my dog. Lucy did a great job and made sure to give my dog her medicine. Thank you!”
“Deborah was great about sending updates and treating our pup like family :). He had such a great time. Will definitely be checking with her first when we need boarding again!”
“Victoria took excellent care of our pup! She sent us daily updates with pictures so we could see that Bowser was comfortable and happy during his stay-cation. When we arrived to pick him up, he was outside waiting for us wagging his little nub tail! Thank you so much!”
“Sara was very thoughtful and communicated during our Doberman’s stay and sent amazing photos. She made both drop off and pick up seamless as well. Looking forward to booking again with Sara in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her family!!! They gave my elderly dog so much wonderful love and gentle care and sent pictures and videos to assure me while I was away. Top-notch professionalism! Sarah is now my number-one choice for booking!❤️”
About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality. I am very responsible, considerate and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy and healthy. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your pet’s life and take my job very seriously. Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions you might have. Thank you so much for considering me! I cannot wait to hear from you and your pet! I have fairly flexible working hours as I largely can make my own schedule. I am available during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I have a fenced in yard if you would like your pet to stay with me, but I am also happy to take them for walks in addition to letting them play in the backyard. I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animal companions for 20 years! I worked on a Farmed Animal sanctuary and took care of chickens, goats, turkeys, cows, and pigs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and specialize in both senior care and puppies. I’m great at training pups and love to be active. If your dog needs a good hike, I’m your guy! I’m currently working the early morning shift and have plenty of time after work to care for your babies. I also have weekends off so go on that day trip you always wanted to and leave it to me. My dogs are my children. I take them hiking, swimming, walking, and/or to the dog park at least once a day. I’m just starting out as a personal trainer so if your dog needs a jog around the block I can do that.

“Westly was great with my fur babies the five days we were out of town. Even before that he came by for a meet and greet with us. He was prompt, reliable, and a great communicator.”
About: Hello! My name is Mirte (pronounced meer‑tah), and I’ve been caring for pets professionally for several years now. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and a goofy beagle named Mylo, and I adore them both like family. That same level of love, patience, and attention is what I bring to every cat I care for. Before pursuing social work I originally planned to become a veterinary technician, so my love for animals runs deep. Cats have always held a special place in my heart. Whether your kitty is shy, social, playful, or independent, I connect in a way that feels right for them. 🐈🧶 My schedule is very flexible right now since I’ve just wrapped up my internship, and I offer everything from drop‑ins to overnight stays. I always prefer meeting in person beforehand so you and your cat feel completely at ease. I’d love to connect and support you however I can; your pet’s well‑being truly matters to me.
“Cali was great with my grumpy cat! She dropped in daily, and my cat loved her. Cali was very communicative and sent great pictures so I could see how my cat was doing. I highly recommend Cali.”
About: While in college my roommate had a cat. He neglected his cat, he wouldn't change his litter box, and would spray him with a water bottle whenever he did something "naughty". I ended up cleaning the litter box. And his cat ended liking me more than him. Cats hold a special place in my heart, their goofy, curious, and sometimes sassy attitudes are endlessly entertaining. I would love the opportunity to be of service to you and your lovely kitty!
About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets when you are not able to. I myself have grown up with dogs my whole life and would pet sit my neighbors animals all the time. Now, I have my own little zoo of 2 dogs, 3 cats, and some geckos. I spent one year in a vet tech program so i know the basics of animal medicine, 6 months taking care of the marine mammals at Shedd Aquarium, and I also have a bachelor's degree in Zoology. I understand it is hard to leave your pets unattended for hours on end and stressful when you come home to an accident but they can't help it. I want to help alleviate that stress for you and your pet by giving them the best care possible. I can only provide check-ins and walking services. I am looking for some supplemental income to help support my little family. I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old but have recently gotten a full time job in the Bloomington area. I am available during early evening hours and weekends. They are family so they get treated with respect and love and I will treat yours like I treat mine to make sure they are happy and living their best life.
“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”
“Trish arrives on time and pays special attention to her ward. Libby is happy when I return home and I am comforted by knowing I can depend on Trish to show up and take amazing care of my baby.”
About: I have been around cats my whole life. I’ve made friends with the cats that others say, “oh she’s not too fond of people” like magic! And I’ve given oral medications to cats handfuls of times.
About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.
“Darcie was very competent, responsible, and pleasant to work with! Our animals were all happy and relaxed when we came home from our trip, and our home was nice and clean. We could tell they had been well cared for!”
About: I was raised around cats and frequently put in the car rooms at work to be the primary caretaker of the cat ward. I know their different types of behavior, and I am familiar with medical issues that come with owning a cat.
“Rayann is awesome! My kitty Toothless is shy and does not like taking his medications so I was really nervous for anyone taking care of him trying to get him to take his pills. Rayann came by a few days before our booking to meet both the kitties and then on the day, she was able to get Toothless to take both of his pills and she posted pictures of my kitties while we were gone! Very happy and will definitely book with her again!”

“Only our second time dropping pupper off for doggie day care and we can tell she is already feeling more at ease. Thanks for the care and clear communication from start to finish!”
About: As a retired teacher, I’ve spent my life nurturing, encouraging, and caring for others, and that same patience and dedication extend to every dog I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm companion nearby, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. With years of experience building trust and creating positive relationships, you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved pet is receiving plenty of attention, affection, and gentle care. I look forward to treating your dog like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I am available to watch your dog for you if you need a short-term doggy daycare option or someone reliable to care for your furry family member while you’re on vacation for several days. I have a fenced-in yard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company while you’re away. We will have regular yard playtime and potty breaks, every 2-4 hours during the day. I am also happy to come walk your dog for you if you prefer that.
About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.
“Augie had a wonderful time with Mary Jane and family. This was the first time we left Augie with anyone; Mary Jane made us feel reassured and calm. We had a terrific get away and Augie had a great day! Thank you, Janine & Bruce”
“So great!!!! Nova had the best time. Not sure she wanted to even come home!!! She played so much with nova who has so much energy. Her home was beautiful and clean and perfect for a little puppy..lol!! Great back yard! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️”
“We cannot recommend Kim enough! Firstly, she was willing to take us last minute and was very accommodating and communicative (with pics!). When we first got there we did a slow introduction with the other dogs there and left after everyone felt confident the dogs would get along. You can tell Kim loves what she does, we felt really comfortable and happy knowing we were leaving Goose in Kim’s capable hands. Goose came back to us tired (in the best way possible) and happy. We already have another appointment with Kim on the books and can’t wait to book with her again. Thanks, Kim! :)”
“Kelly really saved me in a pinch and did exactly what I had in mind my for 2 dogs experiencing doggy daycare for the first time! I gave her a brief overview of their personalities and my expectations for the day and she provided an easy, stress-free day for me! She was also flexible with my drop off and pick up times possibly changing and was incredibly kind/understanding about me not being able to give her an idea of drop off/pick up. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: You're not just hiring another pet sitter; you're entrusting your beloved dog to someone whose life has been filled with canine companionship from day one. Growing up with dogs wasn't just about having pets; it was a hands-on education in understanding their nuanced body language, anticipating their needs, and fostering genuine connections built on trust and affection. This lifelong immersion has instilled in me an intuitive understanding that goes beyond standard training, allowing me to provide a level of care that feels less like a service and more like an extension of the loving home your dog already knows. I am currently a stay at home mom so will have plenty of time for your pets , love doing outdoor activities with the dogs also love cuddling and loving on all the animals I will take your dog out on leash every couple hours unless they need more, I have a chiweenie and German shepherd that loves having friends to play with and my children are amazing with animals as well.
About: I have cared for many animals growing up, my mom and I were both adopters of all kinds of strays. But I have been loving and caring for my very own sweet girl for 9 years! We adopted our baby from the humane society at 3 months old and worked through potty training, leash training, and command training. Please allow your pet to be my outlet so I stop asking my husband for another dog 😬 I am a homeschool momma so I am home or outside adventuring most of the day. I have a nice sized yard, however, it is not fenced in so if your fur baby likes to run off from time to time we may not be a good fit. I have 3 small kiddos (and myself) who would love nothing more than to snuggle on your pup! And our Vega girl enjoys running and playing with other doggos so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise! We do have 11 chickens who stay in their coop (we do let them free range from time to time, but they will be kept in their coop while you pup stays with us). However, due to having small children and chicks we will require a meet and greet before your precious pup comes to stay with us.
About: Pets have always been center stage in my life. Currently I share my home with three cats and a granddog who likes to visit and go for walks with me. My love and appreciation for animals has sparked my desire to be a pet sitter. I began my pet sitting journey by caring for pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. I gained experience providing for pets needing oral medication, accommodating frightened and lonely animals, and behaving in a manner which gained the trust of my new furry friends. I am a retired teacher and have a flexible schedule. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. I am also available for overnight stays for both pet and house sitting. I am able to meet all expectations while caring for your pet at home. I have a large country property to provide stimulating outdoor time for overnight furry guests. I will take all precautions needed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry companions,
“Sarah watches or boards our dog all the time, we love her! She sends pics often which I appreciate, and I know she’s in good hands when she’s in her care! Phoenix is a lap dog and I get lots of pics of her wrapped up in a blanket in hers or her husbands laps!”
About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house. If the dogs over 50 pounds I prefer them to be crate trained.
About: I grew up with several small dogs and I currently have three, so I have experience with taking care of their needs and giving attention to multiple dogs at once! I’m available for boarding and dog sitting on weekends and weekdays. I’m home most days so my schedule is fairly open. When I'm available, I rarely leave the house for more than an hour at a time. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to safely enjoy fresh air! I also have two small crates and the ability to segment off parts of the house with baby gates if the need arises.
“We did a trial run for boarding with a day of day care and I could not be happier. Destinee treated the dogs like they were her own. Let them do nothing all day long, which is what they do best. This is the right fit for our dogs, to be in a loving home environment. Thank you!”
About: I have had dogs for the past 40 years and cannot imagine my house without them. I have one dog currently, Toby. He is a very sweet boy who loves all dogs and people. I would love to pamper your fur baby! I am retired and have all day to take care of your special fur baby. I would love to play with your dog and make them feel special. I have a fully fenced in yard with a privacy fence, and also a doggy door, so your pooch is able to go out and in as they wish. My dog, Toby, is very social and friendly so your baby will have a playmate.
“Brianna was amazing with my sweet little Bentley! She communicated with me throughout both days, and sent me pictures as well. Bentley was well taken care of, and excited to go both days. I will definitely book more appointments with Brianna in the future. Thanks again, Brianna!!”
“Tracy is awesome. This was my first time leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of her and reassured me along the way too. I’ll definitely be using her again”

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).
“Valerie has been checking in on our pup for the last several weeks and taking him for walks and we couldn’t recommend her more! She is very easy to communicate with and is great at keeping us updated about how he is doing! We will definitely continue asking her to take our doggo on walks!”
About: From day 1 I have been the BIGGEST dog lover 🐶🥰 From having some of my own, to taking care of my friends and family’s dog, to play dates with other family pets.

They will be well taken care of 🐾 I currently work just part time. I’m available on weekends currently, Mondays & Thursdays all day! My other days I can walk your pup after 5 🥰 We live in the country! Lots of room for running and our dog to play with as a companion. Willing to help fit your pups needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had experience with pups of all walks of life. As I got older, my friends got cats and I love a good kitty snuggle. I’m the friend that checks on the animals when you have to go out or hit up vacation! I work full time but work from home partially through the week! Usually available most weekday evenings after 5pm and would be available on set weekends for additional care beginning in the afternoons. I have a large fenced in backyard and work from home part of the week. I also have a separate area for crating, if needed. My own pup, Cricket, would love to have a buddy even now and again!
About: I've never worked for a company like Rover but I've watched many people's pets, mainly friends of the family. My household has two dogs and 3 cats, two of the cats are kittens. I like small dogs but big dogs are my absolute favorite. I personally have a great dane who is a dork and I love him so much. We used to bread great danes so I can work well with puppies. :) I currently work part time, I work most mornings till about 10am and am free after that. I can watch animals on weekend afternoons or evenings. I would like a set schedule with someone if that works out. I have a big back yard and a very loving great dane to keep company. I also have a pin for my dog if for some reason they don't get along. Also a cat poll in my house for those who need cats watched.
About: I have worked in the pet industry for 10 years. I have done everything from cleaning kennels, to working as a vet assistant in a clinic. I also have experience with farm and exotic animals. I currently don't have furbabies of my own, but I find them very therapeutic to interact with. Life is boring without furbabies in my life. I will enter the home as instructed by owners, and proceed in a professional manner. I will use my education as a vet assistant and future vet tech to ensure the animal(s) experience minimal upheaval of their daily routines.
About: I have always had many animals from rabbits to birds to fish, and of course dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and love making bonds with them as well as making them feel loved and safe. I am in grad school so have school every day Monay-Friday, off on Thursday's but I am extremely flexible. I have school most days 8:30-4pm. I care for pets in my home by making sure they have access to fresh food and water, regular exercise, and a clean and safe environment. I also make time to give them attention and all the love. If caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the client’s specific instructions and routines for feeding, walking, grooming, and other pet-care needs. I would also make sure the pet’s environment is safe and clean while respecting the client’s home, preferences, and routines!

I can largely work around your needs and be available accordingly, AM or PM and overnight if needed. My dogs sleep in my room, I feed them first thing in the morning, take them out for a morning stroll and bathroom time, walk them in the afternoon, and feed and take them out at night before bed. I also play with the dogs regularly (inside and outside), give ear rubs and belly rubs, and make sure they have water always.

I’ll treat them as my own!

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve always had animals in my household.

I have plenty of time every day at home to watch and play with your animals. I have a large fenced in yard for my dogs at home. I live with parents so my dogs have multiple people to let them out and play when needed. In clients homes I let them out often and I am able to walk them and play with them frequently.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has experience caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure every pup gets the attention they deserve. I also regularly care for family members’ dogs while they’re away on vacation, giving me experience keeping pets comfortable in their own homes and sticking to their normal routines. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands! Hooray for flexibility!! 🎉 my part time job (20 hours or less) gives me a lot of flexibility to shower your furry friend with attention! Just tell me what you need!

My two friendly dogs are great companions, and my lifelong experience with animals ensures a comfortable and trustworthy environment for your beloved pet.
About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. If you call...I'm there to take care of your furry friend. It simply takes one phone call for great service. I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals, which taught me how to read their body language and understand their needs from a young age. On top of that, I bring six years of professional dog grooming experience to my pet sitting. This means your pet isn't just getting a companion—they are staying with a professional who knows how to handle coat care, spot skin issues early, and keep anxious dogs calm and comfortable. Our daily routine starts in the morning with a quick potty break, followed by individual feedings so everyone can eat safely and at their own pace. Afterward, we head out for our morning walk or yard play while energy is high, followed by a quiet midday nap/relaxation to let food safely digest. Throughout the afternoon, your dog will get another bathroom break, a professional coat brush-out to check skin health, and some mental enrichment like puzzle toys or lick mats. As we transition into the evening, we serve dinner according to your exact instructions and burn off any remaining energy with a fun sunset play session. Finally, at night, we wind down with plenty of couch cuddles in a true home environment before a final potty break and a peaceful, secure lights-out. Every pet in my care receives individualized attention focused on their physical safety and emotional well-being. I design a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can relax, ensuring their unique routines are strictly followed to prevent anxiety. By carefully reading their body language, I respect their personal boundaries and use gentle, patient interaction to build genuine trust at their own pace. Safety is always my top priority, which means I maintain secure environments, supervise all activities, and use my professional handling skills to keep every situation controlled and peaceful. Your pet will never be rushed or forced into interaction, giving them the secure, comfortable home-away-from-home experience they deserve.
About: I’ve taken care of various dogs, cats, and reptiles my entire life. From a young age I trained, fed, walked, and bathed dogs. I currently have 6 dogs, two turtles, and a bearded dragon. I am extremely familiar and comfortable taking care of elderly dogs/medication management. I also have impaired dog experience- one of my dogs is deaf and blind and an another dog who is fully deaf. I have owned dogs of all kinds and breeds. I have a hybrid nursing job with a lot of flexibility. I also tend to be home and available majority of weekends to dog sit! My day fits around a dogs schedule of getting walks/outdoor time, having enrichment with lick mats or puzzle toys, and having the comfort of someone around nearly 24/7.

“Mariah was an excellent sitter for our girl Millie. She sent us lots of pictures, and Millie looked so happy and cared for. She got lots of walks and hikes, as well as indoor playtime with doggy games and puzzles. She was also generously flexible with our pickup time. We are extremely satisfied and will definitely be booking with Mariah again!”
“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”
“Becky has been awesome! She’s very communicative, sends us photos of our dogs everyday we’re gone, and I can tell how much she cares about our dogs. She is very thoughtful and tries to be flexible to meet your needs. I couldn’t recommend Becky enough!!!”
“We had the BEST experience with Celsei!!! This was our first time using rover because our boarding place couldn’t take our dog, Ronan, for the weekend. We received several much needed updates throughout his stay which helped these nervous parents remain comfortable! Not to mention, it was sort of last minute that we reached out, and Celsei had absolutely no problem taking him! We couldn’t be more thankful for her! ♥️”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“I recently boarded my dog, Bacon, here and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Destinee was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of him and made sure he was comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures (and how happy he looked!) that Bacon was having an absolute blast. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him. She truly treats your pet like family. Highly recommend!”
About: As a pet owner myself I know that our pets are our babies. (Lord knows I treat mine like my baby). I work from home so someone is always with your fur baby. We live about 5 minutes from Switchyard Park and like to walk the trail. Our apartment complex has a small dog park and a trail that is about half a mile long that we go on all the time. My dog is part husky so I know the importance of keeping dogs busy. We have multiple puzzles and toys ready to go. I’m very type A when it comes to my dog so you can expect the same with your pet. I’ll over communicate with you, send you photos daily, and let you know how your pup is adjusting. Safety and communication are always number one. I’ve grown up with pets all my life and baby sat for other dogs. My dog has some medical issues (a bad knee) so I’m no stranger to medication and keeping an eye out on existing injuries. If you want to meet up or see the environment your dog will be staying before hand, feel free to reach out to me! Since I work from home we take a lot of short walks through the day and I set up puzzles for them to play inside in case it’s too hot. I want to keep your dogs schedule as much as possible. A new environment for them can be stressful and if I can help ease some of that with following their schedule, I’m happy to do it! Your dog will have free range of our apartment. They’re allowed on all furniture and we have multiple dog beds in case they want their space. We have 2 crates in the house in case the dogs need to be crated and we will never have more than 2 dogs in the apartment (yours and mine only). We have a small dog park across the street of our apartment that will only be used if no other dogs are already there. Of course I will ask your preference if you’re comfortable with them going there or only walks.
“Lucy definitely made my dog feel comfortable. I appreciated the communication since I received a few pictures a day of my dog. Lucy did a great job and made sure to give my dog her medicine. Thank you!”
“Deborah was great about sending updates and treating our pup like family :). He had such a great time. Will definitely be checking with her first when we need boarding again!”
“Victoria took excellent care of our pup! She sent us daily updates with pictures so we could see that Bowser was comfortable and happy during his stay-cation. When we arrived to pick him up, he was outside waiting for us wagging his little nub tail! Thank you so much!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her family!!! They gave my elderly dog so much wonderful love and gentle care and sent pictures and videos to assure me while I was away. Top-notch professionalism! Sarah is now my number-one choice for booking!❤️”
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animal companions for 20 years! I worked on a Farmed Animal sanctuary and took care of chickens, goats, turkeys, cows, and pigs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and specialize in both senior care and puppies. I’m great at training pups and love to be active. If your dog needs a good hike, I’m your guy! I’m currently working the early morning shift and have plenty of time after work to care for your babies. I also have weekends off so go on that day trip you always wanted to and leave it to me. My dogs are my children. I take them hiking, swimming, walking, and/or to the dog park at least once a day. I’m just starting out as a personal trainer so if your dog needs a jog around the block I can do that.
“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
“Tracy watched our two puggles for 5 days. She sent pictures updating me on how they were doing. She was very responsive and our boys were well loved and taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Winston Acres is the best. Tawny has been our go-to for dog boarding for quite awhile, and I can say that I highly recommend her and especially her awesome property for dog boarding. Our girl Piper always comes home clean and tired! Thanks Tawny!”
“Kelsie was so sweet to my dogs and they made themselves right at home. She sent me lots of pictures which was great. I really appreciated her taking them at the last minute on Memorial weekend! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
