“Britnie (and Steve) were the best sitters our Finley could have ever had. Finley stayed with Britnie for one night while we attended an out of town wedding. Britnie and Steve took great care of Finley and he was just like one of the family. We received text updates on how things were going as well as photos. My wife and I were both so pleased with the loving care Finley received. We look forward to the next time we have him stay with Britnie.”
“Lisa came through for us last minute, prepped us with anything we need to share or should know about, and most importantly took such good care of our wonderful fur babies. The daily pictures and checking were wonderful and our pups looked so happy. So much better than boarding them where they’d be stuck in a pen all day. Thank you Lisa for taking such good care of Aurora and Zoey!”
“Sheri was fantastic! Lucy was treated like her own dog. She was spoiled and loved and Lucy got along really well with Sheri's dog. I know Lucy is going to miss being at Sheri's house. I'll definitely use her again would highly recommend her to anyone needing excellent care for your dog.”
“This was my first time using Rover for my pet Shelby. I was pretty lucky to find a great pet sitter, Jenna was fantastic. She has a wonderful puppy friendly home and is very knowledgeable and loving with animals. I'm grateful my puppy was in good hands.”
“I’m not from here so I was very nervous when it came to Rover. I am so glad I decided to use Judith and her family. The communication was phenomenal. I truly appreciated the updates, pictures, and videos. Preacher had such an amazing time and I’ll only use her family from now on on Rover”
“I have to say, Kate was awesome. She took care of our Bailey as if she were her own. Bailey got so much love and attention from Kate and she sent many photos and videos of their activities. I would highly recommend Kate for your family dog. We will definitely use her again for our next family retreat. Fantastic experience.”
About: I have spent years fostering dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities—from playful, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I genuinely love caring for animals and take pride in always providing a safe, responsible, and structured environment where they feel comfortable, understood, loved, and cared for. My career in Human Resources is grounded in trust, clear communication, and professionalism—qualities that naturally carry into the care I provide for every pet. I provide exclusive care for one family booking at a time, with no overlapping stays. This allows me to give each dog a personalized experience in a calm & structured environment tailored just to them. During warmer months, dogs who enjoy outings may go on golf cart rides for pup cups, beach visits, concerts in the park, and other outdoor adventures—with owner approval. For dogs who enjoy a more relaxed pace, I also offer a peaceful environment with quiet time, nature walks, and restful downtime. Every stay is adjusted to match your dog’s personality and comfort level. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority. I provide consistent supervision, lots of attention, and a secure environment where they can feel at ease. I also send frequent photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing and stay connected throughout their stay. 🐾📸 Boarding: I only accept one client booking at a time. I do not board dogs from multiple households simultaneously. Dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. For everyone’s safety, up-to-date vaccination records are required. Your dog’s comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m here to make your dog’s stay smooth, fun, and comfortable. As both a dog owner and someone who has trusted others to care for my own dog, I’m happy to tailor care, send updates, and keep you connected. When your dog stays with me, it’s more than boarding—it’s a personalized, safe, and loving experience while you’re away. ❤️ During weekdays (Monday–Friday), while I’m at the office, dogs enjoy a structured and comfortable routine. Each morning begins with an hour of playtime, either outdoors or indoors depending on the weather. From 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, they relax in their own separate, private room, providing a calm and secure space just for them. Midday includes supervised outdoor play and exercise, followed by a rest period from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM back in their private room. I monitor each dog throughout the day using an indoor camera to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. Outside of these hours, your pup will have plenty of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor play, engaging games, mentally stimulating activities, and special treats. I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Visiting pups can roam freely, explore multiple toy bins, enjoy tasty treats (lamb, duck, chicken, turkey, or beef), lounge on the couch for snuggles, or watch a movie with me. Supervised outdoor fun is a big part of the day too—dogs can run in the backyard, play fetch with a ball, cool off in a splash pool, or chase water from a sprinkler. Every stay is packed with love, exercise, and adventures. To keep all current and future furry guests safe and healthy, proof of up-to-date vaccinations is required. Thank you for helping me protect everyone.
“Cheri is great with Vinnie! I never have to worry when I’m out of town that Vinnie is safe and enjoying his time with her family! I love the updates she provides and the love/attention Vinnie receives.”
“We had a great experience with Mikayla. She was very pleasant, good with communication, and accommodating with our schedule. We received multiple pictures and updates throughout our trip and our dog barely wanted to leave with us when we picked him up. We will definitely be visiting again!”
“Amanda was great with Cooper. The meet and greet was very relaxed, but it made me feel at ease that she clearly has lots of experience and confidence with pets from her vet job and boarding. I love that she sent pictures and Cooper had a fantastic time in her care!”
“Miranda was amazing and took great care of Otis! She responded quickly, sent me updates and is very friendly. Otis appears to have loved running with the other pups on her large property as he has been snoring since I picked him up! I would highly recommend Miranda!”
“Kristen was AMAZING. We are so incredibly thankful to have found her on Rover and will for sure use her again. She took great care of our dog and sent daily updates. We cannot thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind when we take a trip.”
“Joshua watched Stella for 4 nights. He took wonderful care of her. We had a great experience. He sent daily updates and gave us such peace of mind during my daughter’s wedding week. Reliable, communicative and trust worthy, I truly appreciate all his help and would highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve had both large and small breed dogs my whole life. I currently have a 3 year old Bloodhound mix named Otis and a 1 year old cat named Stars. Otis is the sweetest guy and is a great friend to his furry pals when he is boarded. I have fostered a dog before and Otis did great with him! I am a full-time teacher but I am available for weekends and most school breaks. I have some weeknight availability, as well! I am also available for summer care. I have a large fenced in yard in a quiet cul-de-sac and plenty of room in my home to host your fur babies. I also have an extra crate (large size) and doggy play pen at your request.
“Couldn’t be happier with the care my little girl gets when she’s with Laura and Joe! Love the updates and pics and they treat her like one of their own! Highly recommend!!!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and owned dogs! I adopted my puppy from Puerto Rico 17 mos ago after seeing the homeless stray cat/ dog crisis while on vacation. He is my buddy and companion. I currently dog sit for family and friends. I have a pretty flexible schedule working from home so I can take breaks as needed. I feel lucky to be home with my pet every day. My home is near walking paths and parks to conveniently walk the dogs. I also have a large dog crate if needed. I typically walk my dog 2x per day.

“Courtney was great and we will be definitely using her again when we go out of town. She sent great pictures and updates while we were gone so I knew my kitties were okay. She must be some kind of cat whisperer too...we've never had a sitter that could pet all three cats in her first visit! They loved her!!! ?”
“Lisa is an amazing pet sitter. She’s reliable and extremely professional. She took care of my cat during a snowstorm, such dedication. If there was 10 stars, I would give it to her. Thank you again, Lisa.”
“Amanda provides great care, she is conscientious and concerned with knowing details about pets and care. She is great with communicating and follow up, very reliable. Fortunate to have her support us with care of our fur family!”
“This was our first time leaving our kitty away with someone from rover and Christina was the best! Got lots of pics of him and knew he was being well taken care of and loved on”
About: I’m a reliable and confident pet sitter. I love the days I get to spend with dogs, cats, and other animals. I have plenty of experience with animals with different temperaments, sizes, and medical issues. I understand each animal has its own routine. I am dedicated to following each animal's unique routine to make their days as stress free as possible. I have had dogs and rodents my entire life, but have plenty of experience with other animals such as cats, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and fish. I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home. I share updates and photos daily. My ultimate goal is to provide your pets with the best care possible and for you to feel comfortable and confident when you are away from them.
“Christina did an outstanding job. Our two kitties loved her. She was very thorough and we felt at ease on vacation knowing they were being cared for and loved as if they were her own pets. We will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was 10 years old. I’ve had small pets of my own, two dogs (a pit bull and a corgi) and my roommate owns two cats, as well. I have no allergies and have a smoke free home! I’m a teacher during the school year, so I’m just looking to keep some animals company this summer while on break! I’m currently part time in the summer, so I have a lot of time to stop in and care for animals or go for walks. I can do weekdays and weekends pretty much all times of the day. I live in an apartment, so when I walk my dog it has to be on a leash. I am happy to crate animals. I have a small cage for about a 30-35 lbs dog.
“Gabby is fantastic! Right from the very beginning when I reached out to see if she was available for daily check-ins for our 4 cats she responded very quickly. She confirmed she was available and we set a date for her to meet everyone before we went out of town. She had no issues with anything we asked her to do. She was very comfortable giving one of our cats her medications. While we were away she checked in daily to let us know how everyone was doing and sent pictures. She even went above and beyond by taking out the garbage from all of the empty wet food cans before we came home. I highly recommend Gabby if you want to feel good about who is looking after your pets so you can have a worry-free trip!”
About: I’ve always had an animals in my home I took. Care of fish and 21 cats and Guinea pigs, fancy mice, and many other animals, I’ve always loved animals other than that animals loved me back. I highly believe that animals know if you are good or bad person, the animal picks you. :)
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but for 6 years I’ve worked in a Vet clinic. I worked at The Animal Hospital of Chesterfield as an Animal Caregiver for over 4 years and now work at Wadhams Road animal clinic as a veterinary Assistant and dog groomer. I’ve been a groomer for almost 4 years years and also work at Lil doggie pet salon. Currently I’m working two jobs but can take my dog with me to work everyday. When I’m at the groom shop Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday your pups can come with me and play with my coworkers dogs and my dog! They are all dog friendly!! Monday and Wednesday i work from 9-3 at the clinic!! I have a fenced in yard they you pup can run around in or i can throw the ball to! My dog Chad lovess to play! If need be Chad is kennel trained if i was to need to alternate them at my house.
About: Ive dealt with a few cats and understand that most are skittish when meeting new people and need space, I’ve administered insulin shots for one and know how to clean litter boxes
About: I’ve always been a big cat person and have taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I currently have four cats of my own, and care for them every day, so managing a multi-cat household is second nature to me. I love them like my own children and treat every cat I care for with the same patience and attention. I frequently watch my friends’ cats while they’re away, including checking in to feed them, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and spend time playing or keeping them company. I understand how important it is for cats to stick to their normal routines, especially in their own home, and I always let cats set the pace for interaction. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Whether your cat is social, shy, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel respected and cared for while you’re away. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I’m always happy to meet you and your cat beforehand to make sure everyone feels comfortable!

About: ONLY SIT UP TO 25 lbs... Hello, I'm Cynthia, a true animal lover; I have owned many dogs & cats, they're my passion and bring me much joy. I will care for your babies like they're my own. I will provide a home away from home. I live in home in Chesterfield (23 Mile & Sugarbush/Seaden) with a beautiful fenced yard; only dogs up to 25 lbs. I often sit 1-4 dogs at a time; so your pet must be able to get along with other dogs. I will take your pets on daily walks and supervise them outside frequently to potty. I don’t use crates unless the owner requests; and the babies sleep with me! For dogs that might be a bit nervous or crabby away from home, I use lavender and chamomile oils to sooth their nerves. I am retired and have lived in the Macomb County area for 18 years. I have excellent personal and business references. My goal is to love and enjoy your animals and provide them with the best possible and safest environment. I love to take photos & will send lots of pics of your babies while you’re gone. Oh, and book early, I fill up quickly, and please note the cancellation policy. I look forward to hearing from you! Cynthia I'm retired and home quite a bit, outside of normal activities, such as shopping, occasional dining out, etc. The dogs are very happy in my home. I have a totally privacy fenced yard, the dogs love to run around, sniff all over the place, and my home has safety gates on front and side doors.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life & will do anything to make you’re fur baby have the best time with me!! Im the biggest animal lover 💛 I am currently self employed so I make my own schedule & I would be able to be available whenever you’re pup/cat needs me ☺️ Will take potty breaks, make sure they have water, food if requested, I will clean up after them after they use the bathroom and play with them and love them♥️
About: I’ve done a lot of puppy raising and training. I have had 6 labs that I have raised and trained from 6 weeks old on. I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication and helping them to get around and be comfortable. I would love to watch your new puppy while you are away for the day or longer. I can help with basic training socialization. I am occasionally subbing for special education at a school at the corner of my street. If I happen to get called into sub I am able to come home at lunch only leaving the dogs for a few hours at a time. I have a 5 year old yellow Labrador that is very friendly and gets along very well with other dogs. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard—and a built-in companion! Dogs I welcome into our home are treated like part of the family, just like our own beloved fur baby. I also have a crate available, which our dog uses freely whenever she wants a cozy spot to relax.
“Sydney provided excellent care for my puppy, Kai, and sent me updates throughout his stay. She's personable, friendly, and very caring towards the dogs she dogsits. I highly recommend booking with her, and I look forward to booking with her again.”
“Amanda has been awesome for my sweet doggy Shiloh! She’s so flexible with scheduling which I absolutely love, updates with pictures daily of your fur baby playing or enjoying a walk! My Shiloh girl is very energetic and comes home at the end of the day EXHAUSTED from playing all day which was never the case before day care. We’re thankful for Amanda!”

About: Hi there! My name is Jeremy, and I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with experience providing loving care for dogs. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet is happy, healthy, and safe while you're away. I work full time from home, and I am pretty flexible with the times needed to step out during work hours. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I provide personalized care for pets, whether in my home or the client’s. In my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, toys, and plenty of attention. I follow feeding, exercise, and play routines to ensure pets feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain the pet’s established routines, and provide companionship to keep them happy and comfortable. In both settings, I prioritize safety, love, and clear communication with the owner for a seamless experience.
About: Hi, I’m Kait! You can trust your pet will be in loving, experienced hands with me. I’ve fostered and helped find homes for 13 dogs, and I share my home with three “foster fail” rescue pups who absolutely love having new friends over. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, or a cozy, safe place to stay while you’re away, I’m here to help. I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and ages, and I treat every pup like part of the family. Let me know how I can make your pet feel right at home! 🐾 I’m off work all summer—so your pup gets me morning to night! I’m available for walks and check-ins seven days a week, and once my fosters head to their forever homes, boarding will open up too (stay tuned!). When boarding opens in my home, your dog can expect couch naps, zoomies in my fenced yard, and lots of love! Social pups can play with my three resident dogs, and if your dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to keep things calm and separate. I’ve done it with my fosters and will do the same for yours. Every pup leaves happy—tail wagging and belly full!
About: I am former a project manager that worked out of my home full time. Now I am a new stay at home mother to two beautiful, animal loving kids! I have lots of time to give your fur baby love.

Animals have always been my passion and I would like to share my passion with you and your pal! I want to make the animals happy in any way I can. Their safety and happiness is my top priority.

I ensure that owners of any and all dogs are okay with them staying if their are other dogs boarding with me at the same time as theirs. Please do not hesitate to contact me to find out about my services. Thanks! I am home all day with my children, so I have tons of flexibility to cater to your animals needs! My husband also has a flexible schedule so I can sneak out with out the kids as well. I treat each fur guest just like they were my own. No one ever feels left out or sad.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, as well as fish. I have most experience with large bully breeds. I had a black Labrador/Chow mix and English Mastiff growing up. I unfortunately recently lost my 13yr old American Bulldog in November of 2023, and 10 yr old Pitbull in May 2024 to cancer. We had both girls since they were pups so it was an huge devastation to our family. We currently have our 10 yr old Calico cat that was raised with them since a kitten. I have dog sat for friends and family as well in the past. I have experience giving oral medications and supplements if needed. I know how hard it is to work full-time and still have time to give the love and attention to your dogs that you want for them. I know many people have a hard time trusting doggy daycare with other strange dogs and the little one on one time they receive with handlers. I can give you the peace of mind knowing your pet is being well taken care of and receiving all the love and attention they deserve. I currently work part time from home. I am usually available Monday - Thursday after 2pm, and open availability on the weekends depending on my son’s sports schedule or vacations planned. Your pets will receive a lot of attention and love along with any necessary needs. I am in good physical condition and can lift or handle strong, heavy dogs as well.
“Courtney did a fantastic job with my boys. I had a family emergency out of town and she was reliable and efficient. The boys liked her pretty quickly too! My pup decided to demolish a box of Kleenex while I was away and Courtney cleaned it all up for me too! I will definitely have Courtney watch the boys again in the future! She is a little angel! Linda”
“Meghan is absolutely awesome! She's been walking our dog for a few months now it is a tremendous relief knowing that someone so reliable and caring is there for our pup. I highly recommend her services!”
“Lauren is great. I had already booked Lauren to come on a specific day where both my husband and I work long hours. On this day, my chronic illness appeared which sometimes keeps me bedridden so Lauren kept the appointment anyway and walked Mabel. I felt such relief because I feel guilty about not giving Mabel the outdoor time and exercise that she needs when I become ill. Lauren is so dependable and Mabel clearly enjoys her.”

About: I love all animals but I have lots of experience with dogs. I have helped my family and friends take care of their dogs since I was 13. They trusted me to stay with their pets overnight, drop in and visit them and let them out, and just play with them or walk them. Every person has trusted me multiple times, allowing me to help out again! I am at home working a waitressing job as well so my hours will fluctuate but they will always be available from 6-9 a.m. on the week days and all day Sunday Unfortunately I cannot house dogs because I am in my parents house but I am able to drive somewhere close to give your dog a walk.
“Maddie A. is an outstanding pet sitter. She provided exceptional care for Percy while I was away at a concert, keeping me updated with regular check-ins throughout the stay. She was incredibly professional, and it was clear that Percy was in great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”
“Bony was amazing!! I typically take my own dog for a walk every single day, she craves it! It’s honestly been too cold so we skipped a couple of days and I found myself in a pickle. So at the VERY last minute I messaged Bony and she saved us both!!! She was amazing, accommodating and I would’ve never guessed I was her first client as I found out right before she left. She showed up on time which was a blessing as my schedule was already super tight. I’m definitely getting ahold of Bony again very soon!!!”

About: I love all animals! If they could talk I’d be in heaven. All pets are family. I’ve always been very protective of animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, chicks any animal I can care for. When I was 15 I started a small “business” taking in stray cats and dogs cleaning them up, getting them shots, ridding fleas and finding them forever homes. I recently moved from Michigan so I’d buy supplies for heated cat/dog homes outside for the ones I couldn’t take yet when it was cold out and my house was full. Knowing that I can give an animal some comfort and let them know they are loved means the world to me which is why I alway wanted to become a Vet. I currently am able to watch pets from 3pm to 7pm mon,Tues,wed,sat,Sun. I can watch your pet any time on Thursday and Friday. I am flexible I have a cage if needed but I wouldn’t typically cage any pets unless requested. I also have two cats of my own who vibe in their own room with the doors closed. I have feliway plug ins so your bestie will be calm and ready for the day.
About: I have had experience with multiple kinds of animals. I have a Flemish Giant (Rabbit), a dog (Chihuahua), and have had 2 (Parakeets). I also have some Vet Tech training as well but not limited to clipping nails, giving injections, bandaging, bathing, feeding, training, walking, and bottle feeding. I am available during the weekdays from 8:30am-3pm. I can also do some weekends if given advance notice ahead of time. Look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am always making sure to check for behavior cues of other animals if applicable when your fur baby is in my care. Securing leashes to make sure that your animal(s) are safe at all times, and making the environment animal friendly as well as comfortable for your animal.
About: Although I've never owned a dog, I have watched plenty for my friends and family. I love caring for dogs because there is never a dull moment. I'm a big walker, and I love when I dog sit and get some company on my walks. I am currently a full time student, with most of my classes being in the late afternoon/ early evening. With that being said, most mornings I am available. Cats don't require quite the same amount of attention as dogs, so I can always stop in to check on them before and after my class during the evening if needed. I treat every home I care for — including my own — like a safe, calm space for pets. At my place, my four cats have a predictable routine with plenty of food, water, litter boxes, and quiet spaces to retreat to. I pay close attention to their behavior, making sure everyone is comfortable, calm, and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and respect the environment they’re used to. I keep their space tidy, maintain their usual routines, and ensure they have everything they need to feel safe — whether that’s food, water, clean litter boxes, or quiet corners to relax. I also observe interactions and personalities, adjusting my approach to match each pet’s comfort level. Updates and photos are part of my care so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and secure.
“Alicia is always great with our Lucy! I appreciate that she is always willing to come to our home even with such short notice! :) She sends pictures and updates of Lucy which is much appreciated as well.”
About: I currently have two yellow labs, I've never met a dog I didnt love and who didnt love me! My take is simple, your dogs will be my grand children. They will be loved and spoiled and taught manners with patience and care. We will play fetch, chase butterflies, and cuddle. Kisses are accepted and encouraged. I have never NOT had a dog as an adult and have always trained myself. My dogs are well mannered, do not jump up on people ( that's important for large dogs) and find myself with time on my hands. I make my own dog cookies and use only fresh ingredients like apples and carrots. My home is large and dog proofed, because a little hair never killed anyone. I no longer work outside my home. This is my full time job that I absolutly love. Your pet will get a ton of love and attention. I have tie out runs and a two door safe net. Your pet will never be outside alone. We get lots of excercise with family walks daily.
About: I've taken care of pets since early high school. No dog is too big or small! From Schnauzers to Australian Shepherds, I love taking care of them all! I love meeting new dogs and seeing their unique personalities!🐾 I'm currently working part-time and in graduate school, so I have flexibility to play and hangout with your pups! I'm typically available in the mornings and early afternoons! When caring for your pups, I'll ensure the routine is tailored to your pup's routine! I like work with your schedule, whether it includes maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, and most importantly, offering companionship. Safety is another very important piece that I uphold as a sitter!
About: I love all kinds of dogs! I have a maltese shihtzu mix that I have been taking care of for 9 plus years. I love the outdoors! I am used to taking dogs outside to use the restroom, and I also have experience with pad trained dogs and dogs who are still being house broken. The only dogs I cannot watch are rottweilers, and dobermans. Unfortunately, on average the risks are higher with these breeds. I am a teacher. Since I do not teach during summer vacation, I am highly available during the summer, morning to night. During the school year (Sept-May) I am available to walk your dog and house sit early in the morning before school (5-7 am), after school is let out (4:30 pm-late), or all day/night on weekends. I love to give lots of snuggles to keep your furry friend happy and feeling loved! I am a big advocate for routine and a pet’s emotional/mental stability, so you can rely on me to be timely whether that means house-sitting, feeding, or going on walks with your dogs.

“Britnie (and Steve) were the best sitters our Finley could have ever had. Finley stayed with Britnie for one night while we attended an out of town wedding. Britnie and Steve took great care of Finley and he was just like one of the family. We received text updates on how things were going as well as photos. My wife and I were both so pleased with the loving care Finley received. We look forward to the next time we have him stay with Britnie.”
“Lisa came through for us last minute, prepped us with anything we need to share or should know about, and most importantly took such good care of our wonderful fur babies. The daily pictures and checking were wonderful and our pups looked so happy. So much better than boarding them where they’d be stuck in a pen all day. Thank you Lisa for taking such good care of Aurora and Zoey!”
“Sheri was fantastic! Lucy was treated like her own dog. She was spoiled and loved and Lucy got along really well with Sheri's dog. I know Lucy is going to miss being at Sheri's house. I'll definitely use her again would highly recommend her to anyone needing excellent care for your dog.”
“I’m not from here so I was very nervous when it came to Rover. I am so glad I decided to use Judith and her family. The communication was phenomenal. I truly appreciated the updates, pictures, and videos. Preacher had such an amazing time and I’ll only use her family from now on on Rover”
About: I have spent years fostering dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities—from playful, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I genuinely love caring for animals and take pride in always providing a safe, responsible, and structured environment where they feel comfortable, understood, loved, and cared for. My career in Human Resources is grounded in trust, clear communication, and professionalism—qualities that naturally carry into the care I provide for every pet. I provide exclusive care for one family booking at a time, with no overlapping stays. This allows me to give each dog a personalized experience in a calm & structured environment tailored just to them. During warmer months, dogs who enjoy outings may go on golf cart rides for pup cups, beach visits, concerts in the park, and other outdoor adventures—with owner approval. For dogs who enjoy a more relaxed pace, I also offer a peaceful environment with quiet time, nature walks, and restful downtime. Every stay is adjusted to match your dog’s personality and comfort level. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority. I provide consistent supervision, lots of attention, and a secure environment where they can feel at ease. I also send frequent photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing and stay connected throughout their stay. 🐾📸 Boarding: I only accept one client booking at a time. I do not board dogs from multiple households simultaneously. Dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. For everyone’s safety, up-to-date vaccination records are required. Your dog’s comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m here to make your dog’s stay smooth, fun, and comfortable. As both a dog owner and someone who has trusted others to care for my own dog, I’m happy to tailor care, send updates, and keep you connected. When your dog stays with me, it’s more than boarding—it’s a personalized, safe, and loving experience while you’re away. ❤️ During weekdays (Monday–Friday), while I’m at the office, dogs enjoy a structured and comfortable routine. Each morning begins with an hour of playtime, either outdoors or indoors depending on the weather. From 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, they relax in their own separate, private room, providing a calm and secure space just for them. Midday includes supervised outdoor play and exercise, followed by a rest period from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM back in their private room. I monitor each dog throughout the day using an indoor camera to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. Outside of these hours, your pup will have plenty of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor play, engaging games, mentally stimulating activities, and special treats. I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Visiting pups can roam freely, explore multiple toy bins, enjoy tasty treats (lamb, duck, chicken, turkey, or beef), lounge on the couch for snuggles, or watch a movie with me. Supervised outdoor fun is a big part of the day too—dogs can run in the backyard, play fetch with a ball, cool off in a splash pool, or chase water from a sprinkler. Every stay is packed with love, exercise, and adventures. To keep all current and future furry guests safe and healthy, proof of up-to-date vaccinations is required. Thank you for helping me protect everyone.
“Cheri is great with Vinnie! I never have to worry when I’m out of town that Vinnie is safe and enjoying his time with her family! I love the updates she provides and the love/attention Vinnie receives.”
“We had a great experience with Mikayla. She was very pleasant, good with communication, and accommodating with our schedule. We received multiple pictures and updates throughout our trip and our dog barely wanted to leave with us when we picked him up. We will definitely be visiting again!”
“Amanda was great with Cooper. The meet and greet was very relaxed, but it made me feel at ease that she clearly has lots of experience and confidence with pets from her vet job and boarding. I love that she sent pictures and Cooper had a fantastic time in her care!”
“Miranda was amazing and took great care of Otis! She responded quickly, sent me updates and is very friendly. Otis appears to have loved running with the other pups on her large property as he has been snoring since I picked him up! I would highly recommend Miranda!”
“Kristen was AMAZING. We are so incredibly thankful to have found her on Rover and will for sure use her again. She took great care of our dog and sent daily updates. We cannot thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind when we take a trip.”
About: I’ve had both large and small breed dogs my whole life. I currently have a 3 year old Bloodhound mix named Otis and a 1 year old cat named Stars. Otis is the sweetest guy and is a great friend to his furry pals when he is boarded. I have fostered a dog before and Otis did great with him! I am a full-time teacher but I am available for weekends and most school breaks. I have some weeknight availability, as well! I am also available for summer care. I have a large fenced in yard in a quiet cul-de-sac and plenty of room in my home to host your fur babies. I also have an extra crate (large size) and doggy play pen at your request.
“Couldn’t be happier with the care my little girl gets when she’s with Laura and Joe! Love the updates and pics and they treat her like one of their own! Highly recommend!!!!”
About: I have cared for my grand dogs and friends’ dogs for years. Our whole family will shower your dog with love and attention! We love to send pictures of the dogs having fun or napping on the couch! I am a stay at home, home-schooling mom who has lots of time in our home to care for your dog. We are home most of the time available to give your dog all the attention they need. I have a fenced in yard. My kids love to make friends with dogs that we have watched. We have a large dog crate available if your dog is crate trained. We take their care very seriously and follow owners requests and directions.
“Both of our dogs had an amazing time at Kellie’s while we were out of town! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures during their stay and in every one we could see them having a great time with her dog and kids! We will definitely plan to use her again for any future trips 😊”
“Deena took great care of our pup while we were on vacation and was flexible and accommodating when we had significant travel delays. It was such a relief to know that our pup was being loved and cared for while we were away. We received daily updates and pictures. We will definitely be using Deena’s services again.”
“Great communication. Quick response. Accommodating. Pup had a blast! Lots of love and play time! Thanks a million! Will definitely be a returning customer.”
About: I will care and love your fur baby likes its mine. I recently lost my little guy. Lost of love and attention to give your's. I'm retired and live alone and recently lost my little dog. I've decided to give my love to other dogs instead of getting another one. I have a fenced in yard and ranch style home so no stairs. No pets of my own so all my attention will go to yours.
About: Hi, I’m Kait! You can trust your pet will be in loving, experienced hands with me. I’ve fostered and helped find homes for 13 dogs, and I share my home with three “foster fail” rescue pups who absolutely love having new friends over. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, or a cozy, safe place to stay while you’re away, I’m here to help. I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and ages, and I treat every pup like part of the family. Let me know how I can make your pet feel right at home! 🐾 I’m off work all summer—so your pup gets me morning to night! I’m available for walks and check-ins seven days a week, and once my fosters head to their forever homes, boarding will open up too (stay tuned!). When boarding opens in my home, your dog can expect couch naps, zoomies in my fenced yard, and lots of love! Social pups can play with my three resident dogs, and if your dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to keep things calm and separate. I’ve done it with my fosters and will do the same for yours. Every pup leaves happy—tail wagging and belly full!
