“Kelly and David were fantastic and such great people! We had a last minute boarding request and met them virtually.

“Ana was great with my Maltese/shih Tzu. This is the first time she’s stayed with anyone more than two days, so we (me & dog) were both a little nervous for this weeklong stay. But Ana sent me a picture and video so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I’ll definitely use her again. Very pleased!”

I loved that she’s also a dog mom, has a fenced backyard, and sends LOTS of updates and pictures. Can’t wait to book with her again in the very near future!!!!”
“Clarissa and her family were so welcoming to Dexter. There doggie was as layed back as mine is. Just a few smells of each other and both went on their way. Dex had all the loves and cuddles he needed. Even their adorable children were obviously pet lovers. Dexter will be visiting again for certain.”
“Lynn is the best sitter. She has a huge fenced front and backyard and 4 great loving dogs. Her 4 dogs added our 2 dogs to their family. My dogs had a great time. She always shares videos and pics of them playing together. One of the best experiences i have had. Will be definitely giving our pups to Lynn whenever we go our of town.”
“Dan gave the best accommodation for my golden. Very responsive and was also able to take him on very short notice. He had great time at her home and kids gave best playtime for him.

I will provide a safe, clean, welcoming home environment for your furry pet family members. I have a fenced in backyard. I also live on a cul-de-sac so I can walk the pets safely. We are also on 8 acres so they will have plenty of space to play and explore. I provide regular photos and communication so that you have peace of mind while you are away.

“Erin and her family are phenomenal! They sent pics and updates everyday. My dog, Tilly, really took to them and if she feels at ease, I feel at ease. I would 100% use them again to care for my sweet pup.”
“Winnie was absolutely wonderful with Stella during the three nights we were out of town! She took such good care of her and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Her own dogs were very sweet! And then Stella decided to add a little excitement to Winnie’s stay by going through a brief “I think I’ll drink ALL the water and then puke it back up” phase. 😂 Winnie handled it like a champ, kept an eye on her, and helped Stella get through her little stomach drama. We couldn’t have asked for someone more caring, attentive, and patient. Stella was clearly in good hands, and we’re definitely looking forward to using Winnie again and her 3 pups. Hopefully, next time, Stella will skip the special-effects portion of her visit! 😂🐾❤️”

We highly recommend Hailey and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I've never known a life without cats. My family had cats, I got my first personal cat in college, my college roommates had cats, adult roommates had cats, partners had cats, barns always had cats, I've always been with cats. I pay attention to them, know their quirks, and give them space or attention the need. 😸
About: As far as cats go, I have experience bathing, brushing, and trimming nails. As well as bathing and brushing for dogs. I also have experience administering liquid and pill medicine for both cats and dogs. :) I am the parent of a lazy domestic short hair cat named Eddie. I’ve had him for about four years and before Mr. Eddie, I’ve helped in providing care for many cats and dogs of all different breeds for family and friends. I feed Eddie twice a day (morning and night) and refill his water fountain every morning. Litter is changed every other day. He has two cat towers and more toys than I can count. He enjoys playing with other cats and has no problem sharing his space. As for pets in others homes I follow routines exactly as instructed.
“Amazing! My cat gets extremely stressed when I’m gone. I’ve never seen him so relaxed as to when I got back from this trip. It was clear Glenn took incredible care of him. I also really appreciate the pictures and videos to keep my mind at ease. Will certainly book again!”
About: I’ve had cats basically my entire life, so caring for them is something I’ve always been comfortable with. I currently have two cats of my own who are a huge part of my life, and I’m comfortable with cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. When I was younger, I also helped my mom care for mother cats who had just had kittens, so I’ve been around newborn kittens and new mom cats as well. I know how important it is to give them a calm, safe environment and to pay attention to what they need. I understand that every cat is different. Some want constant attention and playtime, while others are shy and need someone to be patient and let them warm up on their own terms. I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine, whether that means feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I also have experience caring for pets who need medications or special diets. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, while keeping you updated so you know how they're doing.
About: We would love to take care of your furry family member while you're away! We will make sure he has a marvelous time with all of us. My husband and I grew up on farms in Kentucky and have loved dogs all our lives. Our kids also love dogs! We have a large fenced yard, and there are lots of walking areas nearby. We would take your dog on a walk or let him romp around the yard. We do have a cat named Eleanor and kids, so it is important that your furry friend be comfortable around cats and children. Eleanor mostly keeps to herself, so as long as your dog doesn't chase or bark at her, things should go fine! Why I love dog sitting We've loved dogs our entire lives. We don’t have a dog at the moment so enjoy caring for pups when their owners are away. About my yard We do have a large fenced yard! My experience administering medication Yes, we are comfortable administering medication. I work from home so am happy to have a furry friend keep me company and get some exercise together. Your pet won’t be lonely! I have a fully fenced yard with lots of space to play and explore. The fenced area is almost 1/2 an acre so plenty of room.
“Lynn was very sweet to our cat Bubba. She made sure to engage him each visit and was very thorough in preparing his snack and probiotic. She sent great updates for us everyday. We will for sure book her again!”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years. I was so lucky to grow up in a home that was the local Noah’s Arc. This childhood formed my commitment and love to animals. About 20 years ago, I decided to enter the world of pure bred dogs and have been an avid exhibitor and breeder of Pointers and Ridgebacks focused always on good temperaments and health. I love dogs and really believe it’s important that each animal I care for, feels at home, comfortable, pampered, exercised and loved. I have 4 dogs that are super casual and it has been very easy to bring animals into my home. I will only take 1 or 2 dogs at a time, as I want to be able to provide the best care possible for them. Your animals are treated as though they are mine and the care and love they will experience can only be exceeded by you. It’s always stressful for animals to be away from their families, so the more I can do to relieve this stress, the better I feel. I always tease my clients that their dogs may come home a little spoiled. I’m very much available all day really to take care of the dogs as my schedule is very flexible. In addition my brother lives with me and he helps me take care of the dogs. There is always a person at our house while your dog will be visiting. I also offer a military discount for those that have or are serving our beautiful country. I do not work outside of the home, which provides me with a lot of flexibility to provide dedicated care to your pets all day. I think it's important dogs that stay at my house receive the same amount of attention as they would at home and as my dogs do. I also believe it's important not to disrupt their daily routine, so I work closely with owners to understand each Dog needs.
“Megan looked after my dog, Figgy, every day for two weeks during an especially busy time at work. I had never trusted anyone else to look after her before, so I was understandably nervous about how it would go. I honestly couldn’t recommend Megan enough! Figgy had such a wonderful time and was made to feel like part of the family. I never had to worry about her care or happiness, which was such a huge weight off my mind during an already busy period. Megan was incredibly welcoming, flexible, and caring, and it was clear how much she genuinely loved having Figgy around (and vice versa). I would absolutely trust Megan with Figgy again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Thank you, Megan and Parker!”
“I was visiting family in the area, and I left my 40 lb female husky with Kimberly for the day. My husky gets anxious in new environments and loves to be outside. Kimberly helped her get acquainted with the new surroundings and took her for SO many walks! When I picked my husky up at the end of the day, she was very happy and very tired! I would definitely contact again and recommend Kimberly. I felt very comfortable, she was very communicative & clearly cared about my husky having a good day too!”

“We had an amazing experience with Ashley and couldn’t recommend her more! We were in town for just one day and wanted to visit the Ark Encounter, so we needed to find someone on short notice to watch our Golden Retriever, Ocean. Ashley was available with only a day’s notice and was incredibly responsive from the start. I’ll admit, I was a little apprehensive since I had never used Rover before, and I knew from her profile that she had four large dogs of her own. But Ashley quickly put my mind at ease. She was so kind, welcoming, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took excellent care of Ocean and went above and beyond by sending photos throughout the day, which meant so much to us and really helped us relax and enjoy our time. It was obvious Ocean was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We are so grateful we found Ashley and would absolutely use her services again. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with all kinds of pets- dogs ranging from pomeranians to great danes, cats, reptiles, and small mammals. I spent some time working for a luxury dog hotel and daycare and have pet sat for many families over the years. Now, in addition to caring for people's furry friends, I also work as a holder for a mobile company that does dog, cat, and other pet nails. Pet care is my full-time job! When I'm not pet sitting or walking dogs, I'm helping with pet pedicures. My household is on a second shift schedule, so I can provide check ins later at night and I usually get around to my first morning check ins by 10 a.m. (unless you request earlier). I do not provide care in my home because I currently rent. In your home I am able to provide feeding, watering, potty breaks, play time and attention, (non-injected) medications, and more upon request. When walking your dog(s), I am very attentive and aware, and love providing your companions with positive reinforcement when exhibiting desirable behaviors. I go with your dog's pace, and even offer trips to the dog park if you believe your furry friend needs to get out more than a walks worth of energy!
“Bekah was great! She took great care of my dog and cat while I worked a 12-hour shift with an additional 2-hour commute. She sent pictures of the time she was here, and even brought in a package I had delivered so it wouldn’t sit outside all day! I will definitely rebook with Bekah!”

I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury. I have a lot of free time now, and I've started to fill it by gaining as much knowledge and practice in professional pet and sport training for dogs and cats. Rover is a way I may be able to help out my community by applying everything I'm learning for pets and people that need someone that cares about their animals the way I've cared about animals my whole life. At home, I have two lovely house cats and one rambunctious puppy. My cats like their space and will ask for love when they want it. My puppy needs structure in his day to balance activity, learning, enrichment, and rest. I am more than comfortable providing the kind of care any client wants for their furry family members. Whether that's daily enrichment, getting out in the world, or learning an off switch at home. I'm familiar with excited jumping on guests and earning trust from nervous or shy animals. I have Ruffland crash tested kennels in my car and can provide enrichment and new adventures if requested! If you don't have a fenced area around your home, and you are comfortable with it, I do have 20ft long lines I can use so the dogs get a chance to be outside to play and do their business while also ensuring their safety. I've always been an animal lover, and now that I have free time in my life, I want to provide knowledge and time for other animals and their humans that need a helping hand.
“Glenn did a great job taking care of our dog. He was prompt, respectful and able to accommodate us at the last minute. We highly recommend him for your dog walking needs”
About: Grew up on a farm with 20 dogs. I had my own dogs and have cared for family and friends’ dogs and cats for years. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. Whether it’s keeping them company, going for walks, playing or sticking to their routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed and plenty of love and attentions. I also respect my clients’ home by keeping them clean, secure, and following all instructions to make sure that both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile background interacting with and caring for a wide range of furry friends — from dogs, to cats, to bunnies, to birds! I also have my own 3 year old golden retriever, who has taught me the responsibilities that come with owning a pet, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and tons of affection of course! I promise that I can provide the utmost safe, playful, and friendly environment for your pet(s), and can’t wait to meet you! I’m currently a full time dental student, we works from 8-12 and 2-5. I am able to go home during lunch, and I am very close to the school, so it takes me 10 minutes max to get to and from the school! I’m available all weekends and week nights! I live with two other young girls, and we live on a safe culdesac with a completely fenced in backyard, and our yard backs up to a local park, which is perfect for games of fetch and quick walks! I am serious about leash safety, and always make sure other dogs are on leashes when interacting with my own dog.
About: I have dog sat and walked for family and friends for years. I am the mom of a mini schnauzer Loki and cat Sylvie. Animals bring so much joy into the world and I try to bring joy into their days as much as I can! I am an Athletic Trainer at a local high school. I work evenings so have the whole morning free. I love exercise and often walk my own dog 4-5 times a day. I have lived with dogs my whole life. I know how to feed, walk, and love a dog. I will treat your furr babies like they are my own. I will give them plenty of love, I will play with them, and get all their energy out!
“Allie was amazing to have with our animals while we were away! She came to meet them beforehand and was extremely organized and flexible. Allie provided updates throughout and was extremely helpful! Hoping we can book her again!!!”
About: I have cared for animals of all kinds ranging from ferrets and bunnies to horses and large dogs, several of which had various medical needs and requirements. I also have experience in basic training for dogs if a training regimen is required. I am currently waiting for the fall semester for college to start so I have lots of free time to devote to the care and safety of your animals. While I cannot care for other dogs or cats in my home, small pets like ferrets and chinchillas are welcome if they travel with an enclosure.
About: With 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide reliable, attentive pet care for friends, family, and clients. I offer in-home drop-in visits and overnight stays so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, medication, and giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and overnight stays (in client’s home) throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can adjust to the times that work best for you and your pets. I care for pets with the same attention, gentleness, and love I would give my own. When I’m in your home I carefully follow all house rules, keep everything secure, and stay true to your pet’s normal routine so they feel calm and comfortable. I’m always mindful of doors, windows, and any potential hazards. Throughout the stay I’m happy to send photo updates and messages via text (with your permission).

I am so thankful to know someone that I trust completely with my pup, who has her best interest at heart. Thank you Miss Rachel!! Roxy loves you!!”

About: A retired couple who love animals and are willing to care for younger dogs all the way up to seniors. We have two dogs in the home. I will provide a safe, clean, welcoming home environment for your furry pet family members. I have a fenced in backyard. I also live on a cul-de-sac so I can walk the pets safely. We are also on 8 acres so they will have plenty of space to play and explore. I provide regular photos and communication so that you have peace of mind while you are away. We would love to care for your furry family member at Serenity acres. Being a retired couple, we take care of our two dogs and our horse. We love being outdoors. Your pet will get a lot of attention and outside fun. Pets are taken out on a regular basis to explore our farm. We will keep them on leash at all times when they are not in a fenced area.
“Erin and her family are phenomenal! They sent pics and updates everyday. My dog, Tilly, really took to them and if she feels at ease, I feel at ease. I would 100% use them again to care for my sweet pup.”
“Winnie was absolutely wonderful with Stella during the three nights we were out of town! She took such good care of her and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Her own dogs were very sweet! And then Stella decided to add a little excitement to Winnie’s stay by going through a brief “I think I’ll drink ALL the water and then puke it back up” phase. 😂 Winnie handled it like a champ, kept an eye on her, and helped Stella get through her little stomach drama. We couldn’t have asked for someone more caring, attentive, and patient. Stella was clearly in good hands, and we’re definitely looking forward to using Winnie again and her 3 pups. Hopefully, next time, Stella will skip the special-effects portion of her visit! 😂🐾❤️”
“I can’t explain how much of a relief it was to find Allison before a long trip out of state! I was nervous about sending our 2 dogs to someone new, but Allison went above and beyond for everything. We did a meet and greet at her house and she took detailed notes of any info I gave her. She sent daily pictures & sometimes video updates of our boys playing and snuggling with her, her husband and their dog, and taking them to the dog park. When we got home later than expected they were super kind and understanding. Our dogs clearly had a BLAST and came home very happy and healthy! I’m so happy to have doggie sitter friends nearby that I trust now!!”
“First time leaving our dogs with anyone outside of the family and Kristen was great. Frequent communication, attention to detail and lots of playtime. We were very impressed.”
“Haley was absolutely amazing! Communication was quick throughout the entire process. She was super friendly and her background with animals made me so much more comfortable. During my time out of town she kept me updated with great pictures and videos. Foxy had a blast and was so happy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Haley!”
“Sandra took such great care of my boy, Cash. He was treated like one of her own. I could tell how much she loved him and he loved her. I loved getting daily pictures of him and how happy he was. I highly recommend her and will be using her in future. ?”
