“Kelti & Tanner are awesome! They are committed to accommodating you and your pet in all ways possible (incl. waking up to feed your dog at 5:30 AM/6 AM on weekends) If you're like me, then you are anxious whenever you have to leave your pet. While my big boy (Koda, a 78-pound yellow/white labrador retriever) stayed with with Kelti & Tanner, I knew I had nothing to worry about. That peace of mind is priceless.”

“A dream team family took our 16 mos, never left before, Moby, in for the Christmas holiday week.

“Tammi did an excellent job watching our dogs while we were out of town. One of our dogs is prone to having seizures when she is stressed out, and Tammi assured us that she had no problem taking on a dog with medical problems. Tammi sent us pictures and videos on a daily basis. I enjoyed watching my dogs having a blast at her house. I was afraid that they weren't going to want to come home since they were having such a good time! Overall, I would highly recommend Tammi and I can't say enough what a wonderful job she did. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Jane and would absolutely book again. She took excellent care of my two dogs over for the week and was incredibly thoughtful, caring and communicative.

“I highly highly recommend Karen. She truly loves dogs and knows what she’s doing. We are so grateful that we found her. She took time to meet with us and our dog before his 4 night stay. She made drop off and pick up seemless. She sent pictures and videos every day! Our boy looked genuinely happy in every picture. She even taught him some things! Kyro is a high energy dog and he came home absolutely spent. Karen is amazing.”


“Both of my dogs absolutely love Teah and Eric. They took amazing care of them and Yeah sent many photos and video each day. I have no hesitation at all leaving my babies with Teah anytime.”


“Megan and David are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my older girl with her high maintenance health care needs, but I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing she was in good hands. They have a ton of animal care experience and the sweetest dog who was so patient; my girl was able to fit right in with the family. They are quick to respond and gave me daily updates with pictures. I couldn't recommend them enough and hope they are available the next time my pup needs a home away from home.”

She took the time to give me thoughtful updates on how each cat was doing, spent a very generous amount of time with them, and sent lots of photos that really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear she treated them like her own, which means everything to a pet parent. I’m so grateful for her care and will definitely be asking her to watch them again for any future trips. Highly recommend!”

From start to finish, she was incredibly friendly, professional, communicative, and showed a genuine interest and care for our cats. Her pictures and write ups were great and she took the time to double check if she had questions about anything. The peace of mind she provided while we were away is invaluable. I know Val and Siggy loved her company and are looking forward to seeing her again. I feel lucky to have found Tess and highly recommend her!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m patient, caring, and treat every pet like family. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule working a part time job that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for my fur babies and understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I always prioritize each pet’s individual needs.

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. My first job was at a doggie daycare. I can bath, walk, or just snuggle your furbabies. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks, and play time. I do have crates if needed however doggies are welcome to sleep and play anywhere in my home. I currently work from home. I can take breaks whenever needed. I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your dogs normal routine. Just let me know at booking. I typically get up at 5:30am, I walk or let doggies out back in fenced in yard for a potty break. I mostly work on my laptop in the main living space and get up every few hours to walk or toss the ball in the back yard. My flexibility with work allows me to provide special care if your furbaby needs it. Medicine, more frequent feedings, or potty breaks, exercise.

“Taylor is outstanding. I’d give more stars if available. Not only did she help us out at short notice when traveling through the area, but she’s especially kind and caring. I would have no reservations working with her again or longer term. I know my girl would be in good hands. Thank you again!”

“Bethany has been so helpful in caring for our dog. She treats her well and clearly has a love for animals. She's responsive and kind and we plan to continue using her on a weekly basis for as long as she's offering her services.”


About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.

“Jared has been a life saver! I have 2 older dogs, one is rescue that had to learn a new name since we don’t know her original name. He really loves them and they are always so happy to see him.

“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”

“Cathy is a wonderful dogwalker! She was conscientious and caring regarding my older dog's needs. She communicates well and provided photos daily. Cathy made me feel at ease in trusting her with my dog and in my home.”
About: I’ve taken care of different breeds of dogs, As well as domestic kinds of animals. When working with different animals I make sure I know everything I can about their routine, training, schedules so that they are returned back to owner, the owner is very satisfied with my service with their pets. I connect very well with the animals so that they are very comfortable with me and so that owner feels confortabke entrusting me with their pets. With puppies i make sure to ask all necessary questions with potty training making sure they are taken out often, to any current training being worked on with owner at home. With senior dogs making sure any routine they are on with eating walking or any possible medications are kept on track. Please let me know if their are any questions. Currently I am a stay at home Mom. Any routine any owner needs me to stick with it will be worked with and stay on track with training. I can take 1-2 dogs at a time. I like to do meet and greets so that new pets and their owners can get to know me and feel comfortable with their pets being in my care. Would need to be potty trained and neutered/spade. I love animals that are cuddle bugs! I do not have a fenced in yard but my house large enough for play and can go on walks nearby by park by house. I make sure a gate is up in my house so I can keep an eye on all pets being watched.

About: Hi! My name is Claire, and I’m someone who has always had dogs growing up — they’ve been a huge part of my life. Now that I’m in school, I really miss having a dog of my own, but I know I don’t currently have the time to fully raise one. That’s actually what drew me to Rover: I get to spend time caring for and loving dogs while also helping owners in my community feel confident their pets are in good hands. I genuinely love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I take caring for them seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Being in school has taught me how to manage my time responsibly, and pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than see as a chore. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dog (or cat!) and give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for.
“Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's assertive while also being gentle with my dog, which means he follows dog care instructions. He gives great updates about the walk. I'd strongly recommend Corey to my friends.”

About: I’ve grown-up around animals my entire life; whether on the farm I grew up on, or taking care of former housemates pets; I’ve always had a strong connection to, and a deep love for animals. While I am currently unable to host/pet sit at my current residence, I am always available to come and do so at the home you and your pets share! My schedule currently has open availability; which means I can, most likely, accommodate your schedule needs; whether that means Days, Nights, Weekdays or Weekends- I’m ready and available! I love to go on long walks; either around the neighborhood or to the local dog park, but have no problem just kicking it at home spending the time giving them all the attention/affection they require. (And for those pets who prefer the single life, I’m also fine with serving as their human can opener while you are away)

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a special love for pets of all kinds! I grew up with dogs and spent a lot of time at my grandparents' farm, where I would often spend time with dogs, cats, and horses. I've had at least one dog my entire life and have always been very involved in their care. Right now I have two dogs, Remi is 14, and Winston is 6, so I am very familiar with the needs of senior and younger pups. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's going for walks, playing outside, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll treat them with the same care and patience I would my own. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. I am currently a student pursuing my master's degree, and I also work part-time. My daily/weekly schedule is flexible between work and school. I can make most times work, so feel free to request times! I can promise all pet owners I serve that I will follow their directions fully, and safety is my top priority. I will always treat your pet as my own!

About: I have a 5 year old golden doodle and a 1 year old orange kitty. I have had my fair share of experience with wild and hyper pets, i love them all the same. I have helped my friends and family for years take care of pets while they are out of town. My goldendoodle is nearly 100 pounds so I am not afraid of taking care of or walking big dogs, as long as there is no history of aggression. :) I work a 9-5 M-F so if needed I can help before work feed your pets can check in on them. I prefer evening work as I know I will be off work by 5. I am happy to check in on your pets until 10 PM and walk them until sunset. I pay attention to detail and will make sure your pets are in a safe environment while you are away! Your pet will be safe and loved by me as if you were home yourself.
“Courtney was great with our request for a last minute walk over the holiday break! Shimo had a nice, long walk and we came home to a happy, tired pup. She was very kind and responsive and I’d highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!”

“Matthew and Archie hit it off immediately and for the next 7 days I knew that our pup was extremely well cared for. Matthew took great care of our dog and communicated well. We would definitely book him again and recommend Matt highly.”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with all ages, sizes, and pet kinds! I am a recent grad of Physical Therapy school, and I am in process of studying for my board exam so I am able to help take care of your pets pretty much any time! I will follow what ever system the owner has in place for their fur babies and ensure that they are being taken care of and getting exercise! Right now I am studying for a board exam, so unless I am going out of town for something, I am likely available to help take care of your fur babies. I am able to care for your pet no matter what type of housing (house, apartment, townhome). I work with the owner on what type of activity level the animal requires.

“Tammi did an excellent job watching our dogs while we were out of town.

I couldn't recommend them enough and hope they are available the next time my pup needs a home away from home.”

“Paige, Stephen and family cared for our dog, Duncan, so well! He became part of their family while we were gone and I could tell that Duncan was thriving while with them. He especially loved playing with their kids which helped keep his sense of normalcy compared to our home! Would definitely recommend this family to anyone :)”
“Picky pet owner here, and I could not be happier. Blue got to play in a big fenced in yard with Colleens two sweet dogs. Constant care, love and cuddles. Blue would be very happy to go back.”

“Matt was a great caregiver for my 2 dogs (black lab & bernedoodle) while my family and I vacationed for a week. Prior to booking with him, he kindly offered to allow me to meet him and his dogs at his home. He quickly put my kind at ease and I knew that my dogs would be in great hands and be well cared for. While I was away, he sent nearly daily updates/photos and even a video of the dogs playing and were clearly right at home with his dogs and family. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.”

“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”


“Christy took great care of Lady and sent frequent updates on how she was doing! Will hope to have the opportunity to let my pup go on vacation with Christy again in the future!”
“Cori was a super host for our puppies. She did everything in her power to make them feel comfortable and at home. Her daily updates kept us informed on our puppers.”
