“The dogs love Steve. When we pull up in his driveway, they can’t wait to run to the door. And, promptly jump onto the couch in his living room. Thanks, we appreciate how kind you are to the dogs.”
“We can’t recommend Colter enough! He took wonderful care of our Corgi Saffron for two stays recently. One overnight and one 6 night stay. He communicates promptly and his home has been very clean each time we’ve been there. Saffron had never been anywhere overnight and she was excited to see him when we took her the second time and we’ve already booked another stay with him. His dog Rumi is very calm and sweet.”
“Sheila is extremely kind, professional, and loving to animals. She went absolutely above and beyond caring for my very rambunctious puppy and I was touched to see how much she cared. She is an excellent communicator and I hope I have the privilege of working with her and her family again’”
“Had no issues! He took my Cooper last minute, is affordable, and him and his wife took great care of him! He was tired and tuckered out when he got home. Had great communication anytime I messaged.”
“We are so grateful to find Kelsey. She and her family took excellent care of our dog and loved him like their own. We didn’t know we could comfortable to be gone as long as we were and to not be concerned.”
“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
“This is the first time we have used Rover so we were a bit apprehensive. It was great to be able to do a meet-and-greet with Luke, who put us at ease, and felt comfortable with leaving Ryu with him for 6 days. The experience went well and Luke was easy to communicate with while we were out of town. Would not hesitate to use Rover, and specifically Luke again, in the future.”
“We have trusted our doggie with Amelia and Matthew a few times now and we are so grateful for them! They take excellent care of him and keep us updated on how things are going. If you’re looking for sitters you can really trust, they’re the best!!”
“This is our second boarding with Lauren for our German Shepherd puppy and this day was wonderful for our dog and us. Lauren is great with communication and updates and our puppy loves spending time with her and her dogs. Highly recommend Lauren! She’s made being a new pet owner so much easier knowing we can entrust our puppy to someone loves him like her own!”
“Brittany and her family did a great job taking care of our two goldens. They were at her house for an extended period of time and we appreciated the pictures and messages throughout their stay. We would definitely book Brittany again without hesitation!”
“I dropped my dog off with Regan for in-home boarding since my AirBnB did not allow pets, and I can confidently say I will 100% definitely book with her again in the future if we need services! I honestly felt way more comfortable and safer dropping him off with her than a vet boarding service. She sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated because my dog can be a little nervous. My dog came back happy, healthy, and tuckered out! She was extremely flexible with schedule changes and communicated with us along the way. Thank you Regan for providing a safe and comfortable stay for my pet!”
“Outstanding! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Cheryl is a dog person's dog person. My beast boldly explored her home to her laughter and then he settled in to hold her hand on the couch. Cheryl's provision of photos while I was away proved a great comfort to me and her conveyance of concern for my animal's paws in the icy snow demonstrated the level of care she affords her charges. I highly recommend Cheryl and will happily book her again in the future. Cheryl is accommodating and caring to the highest degree. My big yellow beast wants me to say hello for him.”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and cats. My family always had either a dog or cats or both. I’ve always loved taking care of them and loving on them. I work from home on weekdays so I’m always around, and my husband is home at night and on weekends. Our home is dog friendly and revolves around our dog, Millie. There are dog toys in every room, treats in the cupboards, and all furniture is dog approved and appreciated. I’m self employed and I work from home, so I’m able to give your pets lots of attention and care. They will get plenty of potty breaks, time outside, and walks around the neighborhood and to the park. We have a fenced in yard that has plenty of room to run and play in and windows for people watching and neighborhood patrolling. We also have a friendly dog who loves to play and meet new people. Your pets will be watched closely and loved on thoroughly!
“Thanks Melanie for accomodating my fairly last-minute boarding need! Abby and I both felt immediately comfortable with her, her partner, and their home. Communication was prompt and thorough, and I loved all the pictures! I'd def recommend Melanie and rebook!”
“This was my 2nd time using the rover service and 2nd time leaving my fur baby with Magen. It was no surprise that she was amazing! My pup barely even noticed me and was walking towards the door to go inside without me even getting to say goodbye first, lol. She sent me updates & photos throughout the visit and it was only for one night this time. Communication has always been good and drop off/pick up both were good! She sent Ruben home with some little treats and he was a happy boy! I will leave my pup with her and her family any time I need! Thank you for taking such good care of my little dude! :)”
“Gina was the perfect host for our fur babies, Bentley 11 1/2yr Golden and Milo 8 month Golden. We are not accustomed to leaving them with others and were very comfortable with Ginas level of love patience and understanding towards the boys. Her communication was amazing with cute little videos and pics. When the need arises Gina will be our first go to.”

“Joel is fantastic! He’s very gentle and kind. This is the first time I’ve used Rover, and I was nervous to have a stranger in my home taking care of my girl. However, Joel put my mind at ease immediately and has been a lifesaver. Definitely plan to continue booking with him in the future.”
“Alejandra did an amazing job looking after our two kitties! It can be very difficult to find a sitter that you trust to look after your babies and she proved to be very trustworthy and attentive. We will book again! 💕”
“Michelle was very punctual and communicative during the stay. Kirara loved her and she sent photos each day. Definitely recommend for check ins or house sitting. Will most definitely book again!”
About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years.

I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me.

About: I am married and have two daughters and a son. They are 12, 8, and 5. I have a wonderful German Shepherd, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and a 20 pound cat named Karen. We love caring for other animals. We have a big yard so there’s plenty of room to run.! I can come to your home or board in ours. We are very active individuals. Both my husband and I are runners. Just let me know if you have anymore questions and I would be more than willing to answer them! We are very flexible with our schedules. My husband works full-time, but I drive for Uber so I can make my own schedule when needed. We try to stay as active as possible and play with pets in the home. We have a German shepherd that loves the extra play time!
About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.
“Emily took amazing care of our darling, and needy ;) cat Nikka. She went above and beyond to make sure Nikka had the necessities each day and that included serious and extended cuddles. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad that Emily took such great care of our girl. We highly recommend.”

“Celsea has been phenomenal so far! She made time for a meet and greet on a last minute request, is very communicative, and I feel comfortable with her in my home and can tell my dogs enjoy her company, too.”
About: Dogs come close second, but I love cats more than anything in the world. I’ve had cats since I was a kid and was raised around them. My grandparents took in stray cats from the street and always had at least 5 in the house. In 2020, my parents got 2 tabby cat siblings that we’ve had since. The male is my cat that I take care of and spend all my time with. I also am currently taking care of the female because they are on vacation.
“Leslie did an outstanding job in communicating with us throughout the week. Her stay coincided with a severe winter storm and heavy snowfall. She shoveled the sidewalk and driveway repeatedly. Will definitely use her again!”
About: "If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." ~Terri Guillemets Love dogs (and animals in general, but dogs especially.) I have been around them my whole life and wouldn't want it any other way. I come from a large, mostly rural dwelling family, my grandma had 11 kids 2/3 of which have at least 1 or more dog(s) including my mom. I've always had my own and/or lived with roommates/friends/family, that have/had dog(s) in every house I've lived from day 1 to the present. Although I can't say I've taken care of every breed out there (doubt that many people can) I have definitely seen my fair share of mutts and purebreds alike; from Corgis to Chihuahuas, Danes to Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos to Shar Peis, and even a couple of wolves (3/4 mixes) as well as a few rodents, cats, reptiles, arachnid and birds. Big or small I love "em all, but if you forced me to pick a favorite I'd have to go with the affectionate yet intimidating Perro de Presa Canario. In short, if either by choice or necessity you find yourself in need of a caretaker for your 4-legged (or more) companion(s), know that I would be elated for the opportunity and you can be assured that their health and well-being will invariably be at the forefront of my mind in all that I do while they're in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you soon. "Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem." ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
About: I’ve had pets since, forever! When I was younger 3 of our dogs had puppies at the same time & then we had 27 dogs to care for! I personally had a yorkie for 8 years. I have so much patience and love for animals and they are much more than animals & pets to me. As much as they are here for us, we reciprocate that love with care, respect, responsibility, structure, attention, and so much more. I’ve felt that my dog was like a child to me, and I know that’s the same for others so there’s so much responsibility in caring for others animals and is no small thing when it comes to looking after them. I moved from Seattle to Chicago a few months ago and have been looking for a side job that feeds my soul and fills my heart. And my friend is doing this job and recommended it to me. As I do have a fenced yard, I can only have a pet at my apartment for a few hours a day but not overnight. Therefore I’m mainly able to provide service at the clients home. I’m available during the day and overnight.

“We had never had a puppy sitter before, and Daniel was the best first experience we could have hoped for! We needed a last minute sitter for the super bowl, and Daniel was incredibly helpful. His home was clean, he has a number of dog-friendly toys for your pup to play with, and he sent the CUTEST photos of the puppy while we were out and about. He has a wealth of knowledge about dogs, and our puppy was comfortable immediately in his space. We'll definitely be reaching out to Daniel for any of our puppy daycare needs :)”
“Steve is wonderful with my little guy Fitz! He texts me updates and pictures throughout the day and is super flexible and willing to go the extra mile (especially when work emergencies come up).”
About: History: I have had dogs all throughout my life, starting in middle school when my mom and I adopted our first- under the agreement that I had full responsibility! Since then, I have had three dogs on my own, and I have provided care for my friends' and families' pets while they're away. Currently: I volunteer at Missouri Pit Bull Rescue weekly, and I have had several foster dogs through them as well. I dog-sit for my neighbors regularly. I live with my husband and our dog, Bully Porter, a 5-year-old spayed female pitbull mix. I am a registered nurse of over 12 years, and I also have experience administering medications to dogs. I am the main point of contact for the medical team through Missouri Pit Bull Rescue. I typically work from home, and during which, I have time through the day to care for pups who come to our home. Sometimes, we have a foster through the rescue, and during that time, I will need to turn off daycare/boarding. In the mornings, evenings, or over my lunch break, I can take dogs on walks or do drop-in visits. I am off most weekends as well. I do ask for flexibility with drop-in times, as my schedule may change with meetings and having to go in-person, however, I do my best to be accommodating, and I stay in communication. We have a 5' hog wire fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. Our female pit mix is SUPER friendly and would love to keep your dog company and play! We have 2 crates available (one medium, one XL, and when not fostering, two XL) if needed.
“Regan was amazing with my puppy. She sent me multiple updates throughout the days, fed my dog, took her potty, played, etc.. while I was at work. I plan on using her again :)”
About: I have had dogs in my home for almost my whole life. I have a pug, golden retriever, and a mutt that are all a couple years apart in age. For two years, I volunteered at a humane society where I walked and cared for dogs of all kinds. Senior, puppy, sick, I have a lot of experience and I would love to get more! I’m currently working at a golf course near Forest Lake. My schedule for work comes out weekly, so I’m unaware what my weeks look like well in advance. I don’t like to do this, but if your pups are able to be home for about 6-8, then this would be a great fit! Obviously I wouldn’t work every day of the week, so I will be available to give them my full attention. Your pups are my priority and I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my wack work schedule in any way. My shifts will either be 6-2 or 2-9, or shorter. I prioritize respect for your space and routines. Whether your pet prefers potty breaks in a fenced yard or leashed walks, I’ll follow your preferences to keep them comfortable and safe.
About: I've been taking care of all kinds of babies since I was a little girl. From bottle feeding bunnies and kittens to reptiles and horses. I usually always have some kind of a rescue at my house whether it be a foster dog or a some off the wall duck someone brought to me. I take care of them all as they were my own. My true passion is training though! My father has always trained his bird dogs as well as others and I've just always enjoyed seeing what different breeds can do/pick up on. I work remote and part-time at that, so I have plenty of time to tend to your fur baby. I have a fairly open schedule so I can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I have a large yard (it's being fenced but is not currently) my 2 dogs and cat would love to play with your baby. We enjoy long walks or just snuggling on the couch. I'll treat yours as my own.
“Rhonda was absolutely amazing! She accepted my dog super last minute, which I was so grateful for, and made the whole process completely stress-free having to leave him for the week. He loved staying with her and was so happy and comfortable the entire time. I truly felt at ease knowing he was safe and well cared for while I was away for the week. I would 100% trust Rhonda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!”
“Lauren really loves animals and it shows. I’ve never met anyone so kind and caring with their pets. This is the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had by far and my dog seemed really happy. I’ll be using Lauren exclusively from now on. Thank you so much Lauren 🩷”
About: Taking care of your pets is my top priority and making sure you get back to a happy dog. I’ve dog sat and cat sat for neighbors, family friends and friends of my own. I always have a lot of energy and I enjoy being around dogs and playing with them and walking them. I’m always making sure I’m on top of things to make sure everything that needs to be done is done and all the requirements are fulfilled. Pets always do a good job at comforting and making us happy, so I want to make sure I do the same and give back to them. I’ll treat your furry friends as they were my own with love and care and a lot of playtime. I also do house keeping and anything else you need help with around the house or errands.
“Madison did so well with our energetic 6 month old GSD mix! He can be energetic and she went above and beyond to get him the playtime and exercise he needed. This included walks and playing fetch outside, among other things. He came home a very happy pup!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, took care of them and have a great passion for animals. I’ve had my own pets since 2007 (2 cats and a dog). Since 2020 I have fostered animals for a local shelter including dogs, puppies as young as 6 months, and kittens as young as 5 weeks. I have basic experience in dog training. I’m currently working on a part-time contract basis so my schedule is very flexible and I would love to help you care for your pet(s). I am available daily with a set schedule to accommodate your needs. I am an experienced foster of dogs and kittens. I have a dedicated space (spare bedroom) to keep any animals separate from mine, but if they are dog and cat friendly they could be free roaming in the house when I am home. I have a cable for supervised potty time in the yard. I am experienced with crate training. I am clean and professional, respecting your space and routines in your home.
About: I grew up on the family farm surrounded by dogs and cats and all kinds of animals - caring for them was part of my life.

I treat every animal like a family and I willl give your pet loving care whether it's for a quick walk or an overnight stay. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fully prioritize pet care. My days naturally revolve around the animals I am caring for and I enjoy creating routine that suits their needs. My home, farm in the woods, is a dog paradise where they can relax, go for walks or play. In client's home, I'm respectful of their space and routines, I communicate with the owner, send updates and make sure the pet has all my attention.

“I had to leave my 1 yr old Pup “Maggie” for 9 days over the holiday… HATED leaving her, but Brandin seemed to take great care of her while I was away. I received pictures everyday. I left him with tips on Maggie’s personality and things she did and liked. He took notes and applied them. When me and Maggie were driving away she was looking back as to say where are my people. Looking for them intensely. I felt she liked them and I would absolutely have them look after Maggie again. Thank you Brandin”
“This is the 2nd year I've had my dog cared for by Kelsey & family during an extended visit to Topeka.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 years old and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I supervise playgroups, feed dogs, give medications when needed, and make sure they’re safe and having a good time. Working there has given me experience with all kinds of dogs and taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs. I’m also experienced with cats and am happy to care for both friendly, outgoing cats and the more shy, independent ones. I recently graduated from high school and will be starting my pre-veterinary studies at JCCC this fall. My dream is to become a veterinarian! My boyfriend, Cameron, is 20 and helps me with pet sitting. He loves animals just as much as I do and has plenty of experience with them. He helped train our German Shepherd from puppyhood and grew up with several cats, so he’s comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I just like to let everyone know that Cameron may accompany me on visits or overnight stays. We both genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and we’ll make sure your pets are loved and well cared for while you’re away. I work Tuesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I’m available before work, during my breaks, and after work. So I am able to check your pets every 4-5 hours. I also have full availability on weekends and Mondays. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I do my best to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet.

We don’t use a crate in our house and the dogs are allowed on the furniture but I’m happy to follow whatever you prefer for your own animal.

I am very good at reading animal language and have a certain knack for taking care of animals!
About: I absolutely love taking care of home pets! You will feel stress-free with me while taking care of your animals until you return home. I believe that animals need more love and care than just being let outside and fed. I have house and pet sat for two summers now, and I really love it! I am home from college, looking to have a simpler job during the summer! I am fully available all week and usually the weekends as well unless I'm on a trip! Very open to anything. I have a fenced yard for my pup at home, which helps them have more fun outside! I could also crate the animal if that is what is needed.
About: I have been working for a dog boarding and daycare facility for about 2 years now. I have learned lots about dog behavior and how to interact with lots of different personalities- and I am still learning every day! I have experience in administering medications and would love to meet your pup! I currently work full-time caring for pets at a daycare facility, typically working either 6-1 or 1-7 Tuesday through Saturday. Fully available on Sunday and Monday! I have my own pup who is fixed and very friendly! I can bring him along if you want your dog to have any socialization or burn extra energy, but I am also more than happy to focus on your pet!
About: "If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." ~Terri Guillemets Love dogs (and animals in general, but dogs especially.) I have been around them my whole life and wouldn't want it any other way. I come from a large, mostly rural dwelling family, my grandma had 11 kids 2/3 of which have at least 1 or more dog(s) including my mom. I've always had my own and/or lived with roommates/friends/family, that have/had dog(s) in every house I've lived from day 1 to the present. Although I can't say I've taken care of every breed out there (doubt that many people can) I have definitely seen my fair share of mutts and purebreds alike; from Corgis to Chihuahuas, Danes to Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos to Shar Peis, and even a couple of wolves (3/4 mixes) as well as a few rodents, cats, reptiles, arachnid and birds. Big or small I love "em all, but if you forced me to pick a favorite I'd have to go with the affectionate yet intimidating Perro de Presa Canario. In short, if either by choice or necessity you find yourself in need of a caretaker for your 4-legged (or more) companion(s), know that I would be elated for the opportunity and you can be assured that their health and well-being will invariably be at the forefront of my mind in all that I do while they're in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you soon. "Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem." ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life! Friends and family rely on me for great pet sitting, cuddles, tons of playtime! I’m free for most of the summer besides helping out at my grandmas office or running errands when asked! Taking adventures with my own pup most of the time! In my home I have a cat and a German shepherd puppy! They typically eat at 5 am, go outside after 20-30 minutes after meal time. I will cuddle with both of them on the couch and play fetch with my pup until I do daily activities such as cleaning, etc. I take breaks to let my pup outside and take her on a walk if it’s a decent temperature outside. I also help take care of my grandmas pups as well, bunch of cuddly pups it’s like a dream come true. I work commands with my pup often throughout the day, walking around with a treat bag. I always check for ticks on each dog after they’ve been outside it’s summer! They like to come out more often now. I will always ask of a pets diet regimen, such as their foods, allergies, favorite treats, if they have sensitive stomachs, or if they are fully vaccinated! I also have a car that has pet covers on the seat because of my fur baby who loves car rides. I will ask what your pets schedule looks like such as feeding times, and bathroom breaks.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and parrots! I love going on walks for dogs and would love to go hiking with your dogs (or cats if they like walks)! I have experience giving insulin shots to dogs and I am good at hiding medicine in treats. I am very flexible and can often show up at any time of the day! For late night checks and overnights I ask for a minimum of 8 hour notice. I currently only provide services in the client's home or walks. I do not currently have the capability to watch dogs in my own home but I am able to do overnights and last minute walks and checks late in the night if needed!
About: I treat other’s dogs as if they are my own! I love dogs so much! If they wanna play, walk, or just snuggle I would be open to anything! I feel that dogs should be given as much love as humans! I currently am working part-time. So I have plenty of free time! If you just need a drop in to let out, feed, walk, or play I would love to help! Communication is key to a happy animal schedule!! I will supervise the animals when goin to the bathroom!! I treat other’s animals as my own and give them unlimited lovings!! Also if wanted I can take photos of their animals for a keepsake if wanted!!! (There will be an added cost)
About: I’ve had pets since, forever! When I was younger 3 of our dogs had puppies at the same time & then we had 27 dogs to care for! I personally had a yorkie for 8 years. I have so much patience and love for animals and they are much more than animals & pets to me. As much as they are here for us, we reciprocate that love with care, respect, responsibility, structure, attention, and so much more. I’ve felt that my dog was like a child to me, and I know that’s the same for others so there’s so much responsibility in caring for others animals and is no small thing when it comes to looking after them. I moved from Seattle to Chicago a few months ago and have been looking for a side job that feeds my soul and fills my heart. And my friend is doing this job and recommended it to me. As I do have a fenced yard, I can only have a pet at my apartment for a few hours a day but not overnight. Therefore I’m mainly able to provide service at the clients home. I’m available during the day and overnight.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I've been on my own. I understand how to read animals' behaviors, enjoy giving belly rubs and treats (if okay with you), I currently have 3 dogs, a female German Shepherd, Klee Kai and male husky mix. I am skilled in handling dogs and cats of all ages and am willing to learn any specifics needed for your special guy! I can usually care for an animal in the evenings on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I am available for play dates, potty breaks, and walks around the neighborhood. I don’t offer in home services but I enjoy the welcoming from doggies and cats, playing with them to tire them out, and making sure they get all the love and snacks they need.

“The dogs love Steve. When we pull up in his driveway, they can’t wait to run to the door. And, promptly jump onto the couch in his living room. Thanks, we appreciate how kind you are to the dogs.”
“We can’t recommend Colter enough! He took wonderful care of our Corgi Saffron for two stays recently. One overnight and one 6 night stay. He communicates promptly and his home has been very clean each time we’ve been there. Saffron had never been anywhere overnight and she was excited to see him when we took her the second time and we’ve already booked another stay with him. His dog Rumi is very calm and sweet.”
“Sheila is extremely kind, professional, and loving to animals. She went absolutely above and beyond caring for my very rambunctious puppy and I was touched to see how much she cared. She is an excellent communicator and I hope I have the privilege of working with her and her family again’”
“Had no issues! He took my Cooper last minute, is affordable, and him and his wife took great care of him! He was tired and tuckered out when he got home. Had great communication anytime I messaged.”
“We are so grateful to find Kelsey. She and her family took excellent care of our dog and loved him like their own. We didn’t know we could comfortable to be gone as long as we were and to not be concerned.”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
“This is the first time we have used Rover so we were a bit apprehensive. It was great to be able to do a meet-and-greet with Luke, who put us at ease, and felt comfortable with leaving Ryu with him for 6 days. The experience went well and Luke was easy to communicate with while we were out of town. Would not hesitate to use Rover, and specifically Luke again, in the future.”
“We have trusted our doggie with Amelia and Matthew a few times now and we are so grateful for them! They take excellent care of him and keep us updated on how things are going. If you’re looking for sitters you can really trust, they’re the best!!”
“This is our second boarding with Lauren for our German Shepherd puppy and this day was wonderful for our dog and us. Lauren is great with communication and updates and our puppy loves spending time with her and her dogs. Highly recommend Lauren! She’s made being a new pet owner so much easier knowing we can entrust our puppy to someone loves him like her own!”
“Brittany and her family did a great job taking care of our two goldens. They were at her house for an extended period of time and we appreciated the pictures and messages throughout their stay. We would definitely book Brittany again without hesitation!”
“I dropped my dog off with Regan for in-home boarding since my AirBnB did not allow pets, and I can confidently say I will 100% definitely book with her again in the future if we need services! I honestly felt way more comfortable and safer dropping him off with her than a vet boarding service. She sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated because my dog can be a little nervous. My dog came back happy, healthy, and tuckered out! She was extremely flexible with schedule changes and communicated with us along the way. Thank you Regan for providing a safe and comfortable stay for my pet!”
“Outstanding! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Cheryl is a dog person's dog person. My beast boldly explored her home to her laughter and then he settled in to hold her hand on the couch. Cheryl's provision of photos while I was away proved a great comfort to me and her conveyance of concern for my animal's paws in the icy snow demonstrated the level of care she affords her charges. I highly recommend Cheryl and will happily book her again in the future. Cheryl is accommodating and caring to the highest degree. My big yellow beast wants me to say hello for him.”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and cats. My family always had either a dog or cats or both. I’ve always loved taking care of them and loving on them. I work from home on weekdays so I’m always around, and my husband is home at night and on weekends. Our home is dog friendly and revolves around our dog, Millie. There are dog toys in every room, treats in the cupboards, and all furniture is dog approved and appreciated. I’m self employed and I work from home, so I’m able to give your pets lots of attention and care. They will get plenty of potty breaks, time outside, and walks around the neighborhood and to the park. We have a fenced in yard that has plenty of room to run and play in and windows for people watching and neighborhood patrolling. We also have a friendly dog who loves to play and meet new people. Your pets will be watched closely and loved on thoroughly!
“Thanks Melanie for accomodating my fairly last-minute boarding need! Abby and I both felt immediately comfortable with her, her partner, and their home. Communication was prompt and thorough, and I loved all the pictures! I'd def recommend Melanie and rebook!”
“This was my 2nd time using the rover service and 2nd time leaving my fur baby with Magen. It was no surprise that she was amazing! My pup barely even noticed me and was walking towards the door to go inside without me even getting to say goodbye first, lol. She sent me updates & photos throughout the visit and it was only for one night this time. Communication has always been good and drop off/pick up both were good! She sent Ruben home with some little treats and he was a happy boy! I will leave my pup with her and her family any time I need! Thank you for taking such good care of my little dude! :)”
“Gina was the perfect host for our fur babies, Bentley 11 1/2yr Golden and Milo 8 month Golden. We are not accustomed to leaving them with others and were very comfortable with Ginas level of love patience and understanding towards the boys. Her communication was amazing with cute little videos and pics. When the need arises Gina will be our first go to.”
“Ms. Petra was caring and very considerate. She took great care of my pup, and even made last minute accommodations for me. She has earned a lifelong customer and canine companion”
“Gray loved staying with Leigh and her family! He was not only well cared for, but doted on and given lots of love! Leigh sent regular update messages and pictures for us and we really appreciated knowing he was having so much fun playing with their dog Rosie and making himself right at home.”
