“Julie is amazing. She watched my puppers while I was out of the country and she made me feel at ease the entire time. Julie sent me lots of pictures and I knew my puppers was being well cared for. She was accommodating, flexible and kind.”
“Bridget has been fantastic from the very first message! The meet-and-greet with her two dogs and my dog, Odin, went very smoothly. You can really tell when someone genuinely loves dogs, and it was immediately clear that she does. When I brought Odin back for the actual boarding, he was so excited to see her, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care while we were out of town. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, which were so adorable and much appreciated! I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!”
“Totally happy with my pet’s stay with Jacqueline! She checked in with me and sent pics with updates. I would recommend Jacqueline over a boarding facility. I could tell my dog had a great time with her and her children ?”
“Very grateful for Jen and her family for being able to accommodate and take care of my Oreo with very short notice! Jen was very responsive and provided daily updates with pics of how Oreo was doing the entire time I was away. I can tell he was loved and well taken cared of by Jen and her kids! Also love the fact that her property has a huge fenced-in backyard which provided a safe space for Oreo to run around in! I highly recommend Jen and would absolutely entrust Oreo with her and her family again in the future!”
“I couldn’t have imagined a better first experience with in-house boarding. They were incredibly understanding of my dog’s needs, and Masha loved them from the very first meeting! They even went the extra mile to ensure she was eating well and gave her treats, which I truly appreciated. I would recommend them hands down to anyone—it was such a relief to know she was in such great hands.”
“Someone recently told me that they never met a Peggy who isn’t wonderful, and after leaving our dog with Peggy M. and her family for a long weekend, I completely agree! They were so kind, flexible, sent consistent pictures and updates, and our pup looked genuinely torn to leave their home when we picked her up - so much so that she said goodbye to each family member individually. I cannot recommend Peggy enough - if you are looking for a fun, family environment that will love your dog like their own while you’re away, she is your Rover.”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Dwi would not have been sweeter! My pup had the best time with her and I would recommend her to anyone. She sent the cutest pics and videos - you can tell she loves dogs. Really appreciate all her help 🥰”
“Sammie enjoyed another great stay with Andrew and Family! Always an easy and seamless experience and sending the updates and candid shots of Sammie is appreciated so much! Thank you for taking since great care of our girl!”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Good first stay. Dog was happy at drop off and at pickup. Good communication throughout his stay and pics were an added bonus. Quick drop off and pickup process was appreciated as well. Great home based dog sitting option!”
About: With hands-on experience working at a doggy daycare and caring for pets both in my own home and in clients’ homes, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My experience has helped me build strong skills in providing attentive, reliable, and loving care while making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in any environment! *I can only take services from 6 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays! The rest of my schedule and availability is on my calendar! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In both my home and my clients’ homes, I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention, and affection! I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means keeping an energetic pet active or giving a more anxious pet extra patience and pets! My goal is always to make pets feel happy and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Emily is the best! Our pup always comes back home a happy girl. In addition to all the love she gives Maple, we trust Emily with pick ups and drop offs. She gives great updates and photos - we are grateful.”
“Natasha was amazing, I was extremely on the edge as my stay was a longer stay.She ensured my dog was comfortable and followed up and provided daily updates.I will soon be rebooking. So glad I found her. Thanks a ton Natasha.”
“Simply amazing! We were nervous about having our 17 week old puppy stay overnight, but Kira was nothing short of incredible in making our little Izzy feel right at home (and with assuring us she was getting the best of care while we were away)!”

“Brianna was fabulous. Went above and beyond with taking care of our House Rabbit! She was responsive and caring. We have had Brianna take care of Houdini before and will again!”
“Stephanie has been awesome with my cat!! She was extremely flexible as our travel plans had to change and made sure our furry friend was in the best company while we were gone. We will definitely be hiring Stephanie for all of our future visits!”
“Breanna is such a sweet soul! She came and checked on our Hens, and cat, fed him gave him lots of love. We were glad to find someone like her! Our cat had just been to the vet the week before. She did great at keeping us updated on how he was doing and sent lots of pictures. She did this over the holiday witch was also so amazing! Thank you Bre we will definitely be having her back.”
“Jessica was great and seemed to bond with my shy guy right away. In fact, my father is jealous that she got more interactions with the cat in a week then he's gotten in the past 10 years.”
“Marcella continues to take great care of our cat, Thunder. She is reliable, showing up on time and at the same time each day. When she cares for him, I am at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Thunder looks forward to her visits and will wait by the door for her. She gives him plenty of love and attention, as evidenced by the photos she shares. Thanks, Marcella! I’m sure Thunder is looking forward to the next time he gets to be taken care of by you 😻”

“Jessica took care of our two cats and she was great! She was communicative, responsive, and very kind. She asked a lot of good questions and really cared about the wellbeing of our cats. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Jacey was amazing! She was always on time, very thorough during the check ins, and so sweet! Our cat Willow loved her and we will definitely be booking with her again :)”

“We connected with Bridget for some last-minute day care services. She was very responsive and accommodating. After our initial meet-and-greet, our dog made herself right at home when we dropped her off for her first day at daycare. We felt comfortable and at ease leaving our dog in Bridget's care along with her dogs Mac and Zuzu (who are both very sweet!). She also sent us pictures and updates while we were away, which we very much appreciated. We highly recommend!”
“Corrine took such AMAZING care of our little havanese. Her dogs are amazing and play well with smaller breeds and the space they have for the dogs to run around is so great. Would highly recommend!”
“Andrew is great and very responsive. Whiskey had a good time and he’s surely been in great hands. Would definitely ask Andrew to watch Whiskey again! Thank you Andrew for taking care!!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and foster puppies and adult dogs as well. We also have chickens. I love animals of all types and understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust with their care. I am a Registered Nurse and caring for animals comes as natural to me as caring for people. Caring for your pets gives me the flexibility to spend time with them but also be available as a mom. My daughter loves animals and is very helpful and loving. I have a flexible work schedule and mostly work from home. I am able to interact while working and provide frequent potty breaks and extra attention as needed. I do feed separately to avoid food aggression issues which can sometimes happen in new environments. I have 2 dogs of my own and a fenced in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play and also lounge and nap! We’d love to know what your dog's typical routine is at home as well as any behaviors (food/toy aggression) or quirks we should be aware of. I will do my best to accommodate any special needs. Please let us know if they are on any medications or have any health issues. I DO NOT accept dogs that are aggressive, excessive barkers, non-house trained, destructive, or have severe separation anxiety. All dogs who stay in our home must be well socialized, healthy (i.e. not sick with any contagious diseases that could be passed onto humans or other dogs) and up to date on their vaccines and flea/tick preventatives. Required vaccinations: Rabies Distemper Bordetella (kennel cough)
About: Since I was 13 years old, I've had 7 dogs in my life: a Golden, a Border Collie, a Bernice Mountain Dog, two mutts, a King Charles Cavalier and a Cockapoo. Each of these dogs lived an average of 14 amazing puppy, mid-life and senior joyful years. I learned as a child and then as an adult, that dogs abound with joy when given a consistent, kind, safe and loving environment. I adore dogs and the energy they bring. They teach us how to live life to the fullest and maybe even teach us how to love. My friends know this about me. They're always asking me to take care of their dogs. They call me the dog whisperer. They trust me. Your dog will be at home in my care. A walk every 2-3 hours, some play, a snack (if allowed), a good snooze and we'll do it all over again. As described below, your pet will be with me much of the day. I work from home on the computer and can take numerous breaks throughout the day to walk and play with your best friend. See below for our daily routine. Your dog and I will take a long walk the morning. If they're a ball chaser, there's a fenced in area at the local park where we'll spend some time running after balls. After the walk/run, we'll hang together as I work for a few hours on the computer. Mid-morning, we'll spend some time in my backyard on a leash making sure they get additional air and a pee. At noon, they'll get another walk around the block, have a mid-day snack (if allowed) and then while they nap, I'll work some more until quitting time when we'll go for another long walk or run. And of course what they care most about, breakfast, lunch or dinner will be served according to their routine. After the evening walk, we'll read or watch some TV while we relax on the couch. Bedtime is around 11 in which a quick backyard pee prior to bed. Depending on their preference, they can sleep on my bed or if they're crate trained and you or they would prefer that, they'll rest in the crate for the evening in my bedroom. And the next day, we'll do it all over again.
“I dropped off my puppy at Jacqueline’s apartment at 7 AM. She took great care of her, walking her and sending me updates via pictures (though she didn’t have to)! Thank you so much, Jacqueline!”
“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”
“Fantastic experience with Megan. Felt completely comfortable leaving Teddy in her care. Lots of communication and sweet pictures throughout the stay. Teddy was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. 100% recommend!”
About: My very friendly little dog and I would love to host your dog here with us, up to 40 pounds only though...Or if your pal would benefit from a playmate, we would love to come sit for you! Well first off, I've been trusted with the care of many precious pets for years now...And enjoy it very much...I am fun, caring, and engaging, as well as all ble's, reliable, dependable, and responsible! And I took a CPR pet course, and human one as well. I have had cats mostly all my life, and now own a small dog of my own, who as I stated earlier, could, or doesn't have to if need be, come with me, as some love to have a playmate for their pet...And I know my friendly little guy very much enjoys the visit. But with anyone coming to my home, my guy will be there too, and they must all be friendly, and then we have nothing but a good time. Which brings me to, I can watch any animal, esp in the animals home and of any size...It is my home that, as also mentioned above, I would only be able to take in a small or medium sized dog, cat, or caged pet. And my home, that I live in with just my little guy, is pretty open and spacious for dogs to move around, and I have fenced in my backyard just off the back door porch for even more run around fun. And now onto my prices, I had to do additions a certian way on here...As to plus a cat if I'm also coming to care for your dog...But I can always modify and give a discount if say you have many plus one cats in your home so it doesn't keep plus one'ing a fee...Or if you have wonderfully easy small dogs, I would not keep plus one'ing for those and would find a nice set fee, and especially if my little guy could also come enjoy them, or they could come spend the time with us...It's the large ones that can be more of a handful and take a bit more doing often times, that I have to have it set that way for. And I did just recently up my prices some as I've noticed that Rover charges per night and I am not loving that, I always on my own charge per day, so I up'd my prices some to reflect that. But have noticed that I am still under many, esp when it comes to multiple pets, and so that is good. So you can always send me a msg and we can discuss any and all options. I can often work staying elsewhere into my routine, even if many miles away...Pop ins as well can be worked in more easily than not...Esp when it's on the way to work or right near work...And my work schedule often varies and can be shifted if need be. I put a certain radius...But I have stayed in homes miles and miles away, out of state even, just ask if it's doable, it very well may be! But for pop ins and walks, I would prefer to travel within 10 miles or so from my home only. So I did just update this for a 45 miles out, but obviously I cannot be doing a pop in or daily walk so far away. I care for pets in my home or their home the same way I care for my pet in his home...With the added, well, additions that your pet may need. My home is often more foolproof safe...Such as I have an indoor fenced area around my front door...And I do sometimes bring something similar with me to others homes...I prefer to be (overly) safe than sorry.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid! I have always loved dogs and their sweet, and playful personalities. I would love to take your dog on a walk, and be their friend! I am pretty free throughout the week, I love staying active, and going on walks outside. My schedule this summer is super flexible to take your dog on a walk! I live right next to a dog park, and walking trails! I am happy to drive to any dog park or walking trail as well!
About: I’ve had the privilege of being a dog owner since the age of 13. Dogs are a part of my life and are so healing to the soul. I’ve had years of experience in loving and taking care of these fur babies. I do well with following instructions, being respectful, and creating a safe space & home for your pups. I would consider myself to be a great and responsible dog mom, sitter, and would love and take care of your dog like my own. I’m a stay at home mom and have the time to take care and play with your pups. I have space in my backyard for playtime and potty time and live in a beautiful neighborhood to go on walks for fresh air and exercise. My family spends a lot of time outside and so will your pup (weather permitting of course). I’m available during weekdays and weekends. My services include boarding and doggy day care. I have a backyard and beautiful deck to get plenty of playtime and sunshine. I also live right across the street from a large park that we can take trips to. I have a small and friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep your dog on a leash while outside and/or can close off the deck for a more secure area.
“Lydia is great and very responsive!! Whiskey had a good time with Lydia and had lots of fun with her dog Izzy. He’s surely been in great hands and would definitely ask Lydia to watch Whiskey again and recommend her to others!!”
About: Dogs have been my whole heart for as long as I can remember. I loved my own dog for 15 and a half wonderful years, caring for him through every stage of life until we had to say goodbye last summer. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for just how much love and attention dogs deserve at every age. Since then, I've channeled that love into caring for the dogs of friends and family, and I'm now so excited to open my door to more pups who need a warm, attentive caretaker. I'm comfortable with caring for guests from puppies to seniors, and I'm used to managing multiple dogs at once while making sure each one feels seen and loved. I care for every guest like they're part of my own family. Whether that means adventure, enrichment, or simply curling up next to me while I work, I try to tailor each stay to what makes that individual dog happiest. Your pup will be in loving hands, and I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos along the way. 🐶 I work from home and would love to have some furry coworkers around. Whoever's with me gets to hang out all day while I'm at my desk, with plenty of breaks for outdoor time and cuddles in between. ⏰ I do ask that you treat drop-off and pick-up times as scheduled appointments. I'm happy to be flexible when I can, but I do plan my day around arrivals and departures, so I appreciate being on time or getting as much notice as possible if plans change. My home is relaxed, dog-friendly, and ready for guests! I have a spacious fenced yard for outdoor time and plenty of indoor space to lounge around in. If your pup ever needs a quiet moment to decompress, I have a separate space for that too. I intentionally keep my guest list small so every dog gets plenty of individual attention. I also know how to read the room to make sure everyone feels comfortable and no one's overwhelmed. Your pup's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. 🌙 For stays longer than five nights, I do require a one-night trial stay beforehand. It gives your pup a chance to get comfortable in my home and helps ensure we're a great fit before a longer vacation.
“Christopher, Ali, their kids, and their pups were great. They kept me updated throughout the day. They shared videos, photos, and updates throughout my puppy’s stay. I was super nervous but they made the experience great.”

About: I have a yorkie that I have taken care of for 7 years. I also volunteered at a dog shelter for two years which got me accustomed to all sorts of dogs! I currently work as a host at cheesecake and am a full time student at northeastern, I currently am taking summer courses and have more time to myself. I walk, feed and play with my dog! I also did the same for the dog shelter as I played, trained and walked the dogs there.

About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have cared for pets while friends/family were away and enjoy doing so. I love spending time with animals. At the moment I am part time and have my daughter. My schedule is very open. Even on my work days I am free the first half of the day. However you want them taken care of is how I will do so. Always with love and kindness. I see my pets as my family.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats. I have always been involved in pet care, as early as 9 years old by feeding my family cats and walking my dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs, giving them their shots. I also have experience with anxious dogs, especially ones that come from troubled pasts. I am a college student currently home for the summer so I have plenty of time to devote to taking care of your pups or cats! I am experienced with dogs that tug on leashes or aren’t exactly well trained. I am good at reading dogs’ emotions and giving them what they need. I am also detail oriented and will make sure to follow any instructions left for me to the T.
“Keri was great with our two dogs. She was very responsive and followed all my instructions. The dogs loved her. She sent me live updates and photos which were great! I’ll definitely use her again in the future.”

“Jennifer was great! Sent tons of photos and even left us flowers! She took our 5 months old puppy out and then spent some time with him in our home before leaving. Max was a very happy boy when we came home from work!”
About: I have had dogs most of my life. I have adopted my dogs through shelters and understand the need for patience, care and going with the dogs flow! My neighbors utilize these skills to dog sit and walk throughout the years. I am currently off for the summer from my full time job! I am able to provide walks and drop ins at any time of day. Your pets safety and care is my number one priority. If you prefer more communication during the visit, I will always accommodate that. You are trusting me with your family, so I will treat them as my own family as well.
About: I have 4 years of senior care experience, dog/ cat sitting, and am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. I love being outdoors and getting to work with families who like to build routine into their fur babies’ lives. I am a morning person! I am up early and available for routine weekday walks. I enjoy caring for others, their pets, and creating a comfortable environment. I take care of an elderly woman and her 2 dogs and 2 cats. Everyday, we all go outside for fresh air and go on neighborhood walks. When her family goes away, I always house sit in the weekends and enjoy caring for her pets.
About: I have been a true pet lover my entire life. Now I raise two daughters who feel the same way. There has never been an animal we did not love. I have been the one all of my friends and family always rely on to help walk, feed, bathe, and take care of their pets. I have a lot of energy so love being active and going on walks and hikes and running around with a dog. I am happy to have an animal cuddled onto my lap and do not even mind being licked all over my face! I treat every pet as if it was my own. I trained two dogs from 8 weeks old, on so understand what it takes. I have had a cats my entire life and I love kitties as well! I am comfortable with big and small animals. My children are the biggest animal lovers I know and both want to be vets when they grow up. We would treat your pet like it was our own with more love than you can imagine! My girls and I are around most of the summer, as I work in a school. We are very active so we would love to be out and about walking and taking care of your dog or taking care of your cats! If I were to come to your home and take care of your pet or walk your dog, I would be very comfortable letting myself in and approaching any time of animal. I would give them all the love in the world an any care or exercise they need!
“Nicole was great and exceeded my expectations. She came over to meet our dogs before we left on vacation and they instantly liked her. While on vacation she sent videos and pictures after every walk and was ALWAYS on time. She made my vacation worry free and I can’t thank her enough!”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 15, when I became responsible for my first dog. At 20, I started offering dog boarding in my home in Brazil, hosting over 10 dogs with love and dedication. Currently, I live in the United States in a small apartment with my husband, where pets are not allowed. For this reason, I provide pet care exclusively at the client’s home. I discovered Rover as a way to reconnect with the joy of being around dogs and cats, whether for a weekend or an entire month. This experience has been amazing! My husband and I care for the pets together, ensuring they receive twice the love, attention, and playtime. I work flexible hours so I definitely can stay long hours in home and provide a lot of attention for dogs and cats. I love walk and play before I need to leave them alone for a few hours. I do not host at home. We follow all the rules of the clients' homes and the animals' routines. We try our best to exercise the dogs by walking or spending time in the yard.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have cared for farm animals my whole life. I’ve dog sat for a variety of breeds for neighbors as well as friends and family. I am dog sitting to make some extra money while I am putting myself through grad school so my schedule is flexible depending on your needs! I won’t be having any animals at my house as I have two dogs here already. They’re friendly but another animal would be too much for the house. I make sure I know the animals needs and any information relevant to caring for your pet!
“Carolyn was great with my senior dog and cat! I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter. Will definitely request her for pet setting again in the future!”
About: I am a kind and loving human being, and I own two dogs. I have always loved dogs, and I am also a full-time teacher, so I am used to helping people. I am respectful of other peoples’ space and promise to remain calm at all times, putting your dogs interests and safety in the forefront while they are in my care I am a teacher so I am able to walk dogs morning, noon and evenings, and will often be available during weekdays and weekends throughout the summer. I can be trusted with your dogs safety, and while he or she is in my care, I will reward the dog(s) with treats and use your equipment with your discretion. I am committed to your dog’s safety and will take time to play with him or her to make the visit extra special.
About: I've always felt a special connection with animals- from encounters in the redwood forests of Northern California to the coastal sanctuaries of Maine, I’ve enjoyed absorbing and reflecting on the deep wisdoms held within the animal kingdom. In my own life, cats and dogs have helped illuminate the true nature of unconditional love and I’ve been lucky to journey with many animal companions. During times in my life where it has not been possible to own a pet, I’ve been grateful to have many opportunities to care for them. I’ve cared for several dogs long-term and lived with up to 3 cats at a time (please see testimonials) and always enjoy getting to know the unique personality and ways of each animal. My approach is gentle and my goal is nourishment, safety and support with whoever I get the chance to work with. As a recent graduate of acupuncture school, I hope someday to get to work with animals in a healing capacity. I'd be truly honored to care for your beloved pet. I recently finished a graduate program and presently have wide availability, from mornings to evenings and often during the middle of the day as well.

“Marina is great, she arrives on time and is able to take Hensley out on walks in the woods. Our pup is a little on the shy side and she has been kind enough to gently introduce her to another dog to help with that. Thank you, Marina!”

“Julie is amazing. She watched my puppers while I was out of the country and she made me feel at ease the entire time. Julie sent me lots of pictures and I knew my puppers was being well cared for. She was accommodating, flexible and kind.”
“Bridget has been fantastic from the very first message! The meet-and-greet with her two dogs and my dog, Odin, went very smoothly. You can really tell when someone genuinely loves dogs, and it was immediately clear that she does. When I brought Odin back for the actual boarding, he was so excited to see her, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care while we were out of town. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, which were so adorable and much appreciated! I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!”
“Very grateful for Jen and her family for being able to accommodate and take care of my Oreo with very short notice! Jen was very responsive and provided daily updates with pics of how Oreo was doing the entire time I was away. I can tell he was loved and well taken cared of by Jen and her kids! Also love the fact that her property has a huge fenced-in backyard which provided a safe space for Oreo to run around in! I highly recommend Jen and would absolutely entrust Oreo with her and her family again in the future!”
“I couldn’t have imagined a better first experience with in-house boarding. They were incredibly understanding of my dog’s needs, and Masha loved them from the very first meeting! They even went the extra mile to ensure she was eating well and gave her treats, which I truly appreciated. I would recommend them hands down to anyone—it was such a relief to know she was in such great hands.”
“Someone recently told me that they never met a Peggy who isn’t wonderful, and after leaving our dog with Peggy M. and her family for a long weekend, I completely agree! They were so kind, flexible, sent consistent pictures and updates, and our pup looked genuinely torn to leave their home when we picked her up - so much so that she said goodbye to each family member individually. I cannot recommend Peggy enough - if you are looking for a fun, family environment that will love your dog like their own while you’re away, she is your Rover.”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Dwi would not have been sweeter! My pup had the best time with her and I would recommend her to anyone. She sent the cutest pics and videos - you can tell she loves dogs. Really appreciate all her help 🥰”
“Sammie enjoyed another great stay with Andrew and Family! Always an easy and seamless experience and sending the updates and candid shots of Sammie is appreciated so much! Thank you for taking since great care of our girl!”
“Good first stay. Dog was happy at drop off and at pickup. Good communication throughout his stay and pics were an added bonus. Quick drop off and pickup process was appreciated as well. Great home based dog sitting option!”
About: With hands-on experience working at a doggy daycare and caring for pets both in my own home and in clients’ homes, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My experience has helped me build strong skills in providing attentive, reliable, and loving care while making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in any environment! *I can only take services from 6 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays! The rest of my schedule and availability is on my calendar! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In both my home and my clients’ homes, I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention, and affection! I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means keeping an energetic pet active or giving a more anxious pet extra patience and pets! My goal is always to make pets feel happy and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Emily is the best! Our pup always comes back home a happy girl. In addition to all the love she gives Maple, we trust Emily with pick ups and drop offs. She gives great updates and photos - we are grateful.”
“Simply amazing! We were nervous about having our 17 week old puppy stay overnight, but Kira was nothing short of incredible in making our little Izzy feel right at home (and with assuring us she was getting the best of care while we were away)!”
“We recently left our dog with Bethany for the longest time we’ve ever been away, but we felt perfect the whole time knowing she was in the best of hands. Thank you for everything Bethany!!”
“Ryan was so great with Opal! It was our first time using Rover so we were a little uneasy but were going away for a week and hoping to find a home away from home for our Opal. Ryan was amazing, so caring and kind, she got lots of play time in their yard, lots of walks and loved playing with their dog Goose. I got daily texts with pictures and he really put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our vacation.”
“Kara was amazing! Our dog clearly enjoyed her time with Kara and her family, and was taken such good care of and loved on. We would absolutely ask for Kara to take care of our dog again.”
“Misael was extremely accommodating for my last minute need for a sitter, and very flexible for dropoff/pickup times. Sent lots of updates, photos, and videos of my two dogs having a good time!”
