“Joni is the best! She was so loving to our Hershey and Bailey..They enjoyed their stay..She sent us videos and pictures everyday of them..Would highly recommend Joni! We will definitely use her again..Love ya Joni...Love Dave, Deb, Hershey and Bailey Basso..”
“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
“Moved to the area a few months ago and have already relied on Marty several times to take care of my furry friend while I'm away. Marty is always excited to see him, and he always goes running into her house to look for the toy basket without looking back. She truly appreciates all his little personality qualities that set him apart, and provides frequent updates throughout the stay. I always know I will pick up my friend happy, rested, and relaxed. Very grateful for Marty and her family, we will be back!”
“Toni was an excellent caregiver for Winston! She took him for walks daily, and I think he was just as sad to have to go as he was to see me when I picked him up. Will board with Toni again.”
“Our dog Ruby loved Holly and her home! Ruby can feel a little scared around new people and Holly made her feel right at home. My family loved all the pictures and updates. We will be use her again!”
“Andrew and his partner were absolutely fantastic for our cat. We were in a situation where we needed our cat of our home for some renovations and they kept us updated with how we was doing all day and with some lovely pictures. If we’re ever in need again I’ll for sure be looking Andrew up again. Thank you!”
“If you are looking for someone to watch your dogs, do not look any further. Tristan is AMAZING! The best I’ve ever found to take care of my pups. I was nervous finding someone new because I have an anxious pitbull and a mini dachshund, he is great with all dogs. He treats your pets as if they were his own. He took my dog for lots of long walks, played with them and even went to pick up food for me when they ran out. He’s so great that I want to gatekeep my review so my pups will always have a spot on his schedule! Thank you Tristan for all that you do!”
“Victoria did an absolutely amazing job watching our young puppy. She sent the best updates that kept us reassured he was having a wonderful time. She clearly loves dogs and cares about taking great care of them, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. I already have another booking with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Jessica & Matt are amazing! They updated me everyday with photos and how my pup was doing. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Thank you again, to both of you for taking such good care of Charlie, I never worried once while I was gone, knowing he was in your care😊”
“Laura is awesome. I received pictures daily of m dog while we were gone on vacation. She walked him daily which I know he loved. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much Laura!!!”
“Chloe had a nice, safe stay and a great time without any issues. She loved the backyard and sunning on the deck! Communication from Leah was good- a few pictures and at least one update per day. I’d definitely recommend Leah’s services.”
“Diane is amazing. Constant pictures and action shots with relevant captions. Lexi will absolutely miss them and I can always look forward to any vacation without worrying about who is taking care of her. 10/10 Gracias!”

“Mary was EXCEPTIONAL!! She took care of our 3 WHPGs while we were gone for 9 days! The pups had some tummy troubles while we were gone and Mary made sure both the the pups and their spaces were clean and happy!! I highly recommend Mary!”
“Katie was beyond fantastic!! She made sure to get to know us and our (6) cats prior. And while visiting them, she took extra attention/time with our old lady cat to ensure she ate enough. Gave lots of scratches to our other furrbabies, sent us pics each day, and even cleaned up some (not so pleasant) ‘cat mess’ for us. Will be requesting her again any time we have to travel!!”
“Sara is an amazing pet sitter! She takes excellent care of my cat, Buddy, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in good hands. I've used her multiple times, and each time she goes above and beyond. It's clear she truly loves animals, and Buddy absolutely adores her. Highly recommend!”

About: Welcome! I have over 20years experience working with dogs. I like to look at my pet boarding as an Airbnb for pets! I am a former service dog trainer. I am currently enrolled in dog training courses through Rover. I will be completing a Veterinarian Assistant program this summer. There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out. In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!
“His Honda was great!!! She sent pictures every time she visited and our pets looked very happy!! Both our dog & cat were happy & calm when we returned!! Will 100% be asking Yushonda back if she’ll have us! -)”
About: I have had family pets for my whole life. Dogs and cats, chickens, ducks, and turkeys. I worked at a horse barn for over 2 years. My cat had passed away over a year ago from liver cancer. I am used to incorporating medicine in food, pills or even a syringe directing in the mouth. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time for daily care including walks, sitting or feedings.I am also available for weekly routines as well. I love to look at notes/routines provided from the client and follow accordingly. I love to send update pictures/videos to keep updated on their pets daily as I do my best for their pets to have the best time. I do not take risks as the wellbeing of pets are paramount.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm with two dogs as a child and have had many different-sized animals since. Im currently laid off work while recovering from a shoulder surgery so I have open availability and my shoulder is healed so I have no restrictions on walks or animal size I own a fenced-in lot next to my house for outside time. I have one super friendly dog who loves it out there and a room with a door so I don't have to use a crate inside.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own cat since I was 5! She’s now 13. I'm very used to giving cats medicine because she’s had her far share of illnesses over the years. I’m also familiar with giving cats shots because I used to own a diabetic cat I would help give shots. I would be okay with cleaning litter boxes, or any other kind of cat care you need!
About: I’ve had multiple cats all my life. I bring to the table 30+ years of cat experience. I have experience from taking care of them from birth and bottle fed to senior cat care. I’m a pro at keeping the litter box clean and the cats purring and kneading happy kitty biscuits.
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter for our fur babies while we were away! She was able to book on short notice, which was very much appreciated. She spent so much time with our kitties, which I’m sure they loved! I got the cutest photos and Sarah kept me updated with each visit. I’m very pleased and would book with her again! :)”
About: While I love animals of all kinds, cats are my soul animals. As you probably saw in other spots on my profile, I currently have 4 of my own. (I had five, but I very sadly lost my dear girl, Rita, to cancer last year ❤️). I love my kitties so much that I literally have two of their portraits tattooed on my arm. They're my entire world. I know that those of us who love cats, all share the same obsession. We're a special type of person. I currently care-take for my sick boy, Castle, dealing with his kidney disease. And have taken care of all my babies with the utmost care through their whole lives. I'm comfortable and confident in giving all kinds of medications, including administering subcutaneous fluids by myself. I'd love to care for your kitties while you're away!
“Rachel is very kind and caring to both you and your pets! She stayed with my two cats for a week and sent many pictures and updates that I didn’t need to check in or worry about a thing! I was very nervous using this site and a person I didn’t know to come stay in my home but once I met Rachel, I felt completely comfortable. One of my cats needed some extra TLC and having Rachel with her eased my mind knowing she could take care of anything with her knowledge and experience as a vet tech. I definitely recommend Rachel for a loving and worry free time away from your pets!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Durand
“Joni is awesome!!! Her setup is a like a dog's resort. She greeted us, showed us how my pup could run around freely inside and out. The topper, my dog loves to swim and she had a setup with the doggie stairs. She even sent me a video :). It was great to relax knowing my baby was in good hands!”
About: With over 25 years of experience in caring for dogs and horses, I approach pet sitting with an understanding of animal behavior and a compassionate approach. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup or an anxious companion, I use positive reinforcement techniques to create a safe and nurturing environment. I have a friendly 4-year-old golden retriever, Lily, who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, providing a perfect playmate for your pup. I regularly care for friends and family's pets, and have watched dogs recovering from surgeries and in need of medication. Our spacious 2.5-acre property offers plenty of room for dogs to roam, explore, and enjoy playtime in a safe setting. From daily walks to playing fetch in the yard, your pets will be in loving hands. Having used Rover to book pet care for my dog, Lily, I understand that leaving your dog can be nerve-wracking. Let me provide the peace of mind you deserve while you're away, knowing your beloved dog is receiving top-notch care! Working from home allows me to spend time with your dog throughout the day and attend to them as much as needed. I walk every day and am happy to take your pup along with me if they love walks too! With 2.5 acres and a super friendly, welcoming golden retriever, Lily, I'd love to welcome your dog into our home. We want your dog(s) to cozy in and feel at home, and welcome them sleeping in our room or in their crate, however they are most comfortable.
“I left Archie with Marty for the day, he had a great time! I received excellent communication and felt comfortable leaving Archie. I will definately be contacting Marty for Archie again.”

About: I've had and helped care for many different animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and chickens. We have 2 little boys in our home as well as a laid back newfoundland dog and 2 cats. Can administer medicine if needed and will try every trick in the book if needed to make it happen. I work part time from home so I will be home almost 24/7 besides the occasional errands. Animals can be with me as much as they would like. Dogs can be taken out and walked as often as needed. Animals can be allowed the run of the house or we also have a seperate downstairs area when some alone time is preferred or needed. Cats can be enclosed in a large quiet room with a tall gate if they prefer with seperate litter box. Crates are available for use upon request.
About: I can provide care for complex needs animals, small animals and giant animals. I can administer medication even to animals who might not be enthusiastic about it or any other medical needs. I am currently only doing college classes and rover so I have open availability to care for your family members and all the love to give them I have a 4 foot tall fully fenced in half acre yard with a Bernese mountain dog puppy who can keep your babies company along with two dog friendly cats
“Tristan is great with my dog and always patient when I’m a little late dropping off or picking up. (So being patient with me might be more of a challenge than being patient with my puppy). I highly recommend him for daycare or overnight. While I already had an obedience trainer before bringing my dog for daycare, I can tell that he’d be a really good trainer, too.”
“I’m so glad I found Beth! Her house is perfectly suited for hosting dog guests. Her large back yard is securely fenced and her own two dogs are friendly and playful. She is extremely conscientious and I felt very comfortable entrusting my little Chihuahua to her.”
“Leah is very kind and responsive. Our dog enjoys going over and running around the big fenced in yard and playing with her dog Rosco. Leah sends picture updates and keeps you updated. Definitely recommend and will keep using ourselves!”
“Patricia did so well with my Ace. She updated me throughout the evening. When I picked him up he was so tired out from all the playing 😊 I will be booking again in the future! Thanks so much!”
“I know Fred loved it there and loved Ziggy. Taking him home he had no stress. He had a wonderful time, and wanted to go back today. I had to look at pout face today! Thank you for taking good care of him! We will be back.. Julie Richards”
About: I am looking to find dog owners with high energy dogs. The huskies, labs, healers etc that need to put in miles every day to stay happy. I can show up for my listed dog walking rate ($10) and can then run anywhere from 2-20 miles with them for an additional $15/mile. Message me if this is something you would be interested in!! I work in outside sales from home 4 days a week, the the other 3 I am on the road for 8-10 hours a day. I have 2 friendly dogs and am very energetic, I run/walk multiple times a day and spend most my time outside. Very patient with dogs and can help leash train.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have been taken care of dogs for 2. I have a husky at home and a yorkie. Also have a cat and bearded dragon! I’m currently a graduate student working from home. That means I have a lot of flexibility and time to fill! Taking care of your pet will mean the world to me! I have a fenced yard so they have plenty of space to run around. I have a husky that is about 6 years old, a 2 year old Yorkie, and a 3 year old cat that roam around the house. Although it will be very easy to keep them separate if needed!h
About: Both Matt and I have taken care of animals since we were young for friends &family. We have two frenchies both are two years old ( please keep in mind when they first meet a new dog they get very excited, can have a lot of energy and LOVE to play) We have also had experience with numerous breeds. Your fur baby will have lots of fun and love in our home. Having two frenchies, we know how high maintenance some dogs can be, that’s why it’s important to us to provide the best experience for you and your fur baby. During Monday-Friday I work 8-5. However, Matt does work from home so will be able to give your fur baby all the love and attention!( if Matt does have to step out it’s typically no longer than 2 hours but not often ) If you have any questions regarding our schedule, please feel free to reach out. If for some reason Matt does have to leave for more than a couple hours, we will block that day off as we do not believe in leaving fur babies alone for long periods. We are homebodies on the weekends as well. So someone will always be with your fur baby. We will make sure your fur baby gets plenty of walks and outside time. We live in a nice/quiet neighborhood. When the weather is nice, our frenchies love to sun bathe, play fetch, we also set up their splash pad, so we spend lots of time outside. We do allow dogs on our bed and furniture( if you allow it) we will not crate your dog unless we do have to step out ( which again is not often). During the night, we will not crate unless you prefer them in a crate. Please let us know if there is any special request and we can accommodate. We do ask for a meet n greet for any boarding to make sure your dogs and our two frenchies get along. Your fur baby’s safety and comfortability will always be our priority as well as our babies. We know how it feels leaving your fur baby and you might get anxious so we will make sure to send a daily update. *Please note we are happy to accommodate large dogs, they MUST get along with little dogs. We do only accept one large dog at a time. Please be sure to look at our pics as we do have a short fence, if your dog is known for jumping we may have to utilize a dog lead* **DROP OFFS/PICK UP- Please do not show up early without talking to us prior, If you are going to be late, please let us know asap, we operate around your guys times selected and schedule other bookings/meet n greets around drop offs and pick up ***
“Great environment for pups to feel safe, loved, and playful. You can immediately tell how much love and patience Kellie and Paige have for animals. The fenced-in yard is a definite plus! I had such a crazy/stressful day at work, and seeing how happy my pup was (Kellie sent pictures) made my heart full. So so happy we found this sitter!!”

About: I am a middle school english teacher that is looking to make some money during the summer and meet some cute dogs! I would treat your dog like my own. I have a silver lab of my own that I take on a walk everyday (when the weather allows it). He is 8 years old and has lived the best life by going on puppy play dates, doggy day care, and many trips camping with us. I grew up with all kinds of dogs my entire life and I truly feel they are apart of the family! Should be treated like they are apart of the family.

With one very well behaved golden lab to keep others company. We love playing fetch and enjoying the outside as much as possible.
“Kellie and Paige were both great with my dog. He’s a bigger dog and is kinda scared of meeting new people, and they were very patient with him and I on introductions and when they would come by to take him for walks. I also had several shift changes for the month I was here and they were great at communicating and flexible with their schedules, which was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, I worked in the vet field for over 4 years in various aspects, I previously worked at a dog groomers. I currently have 1 dog and a cat, I used to have lots of reptiles as well! I'm never afraid of any dog and welcome them with open arms. I currently work part time Wednesday - Saturdays pretty consistently, but my days don't start until earliest 830am and I'm normally done between 4-5 (unless we have a late day scheduled). Sunday - Tuesdays are my off days outside of doctor appointments and any other extra curriculars I do ☺️ I do only offer in home services as my older dog is a bit of a rough player and my younger is in service training and I can't take the risk of him being injured. In you home, I will stay with you pet overnight if that is what makes you the most comfortable. They can sleep with me or be crated, whichever is preferred by you. Feeding will always be on schedule and meds can be administered as needed (I have a lot of experience keeping meds straight for my own dogs). A daily walk will happen (distance dependent on dog and weather) and we will play in the yard and enjoy lots of cuddles and belly rubs!! While I love spoiling my own babys, I'll make sure to keep everything as consistent as possible for you!
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm with two dogs as a child and have had many different-sized animals since. Im currently laid off work while recovering from a shoulder surgery so I have open availability and my shoulder is healed so I have no restrictions on walks or animal size I own a fenced-in lot next to my house for outside time. I have one super friendly dog who loves it out there and a room with a door so I don't have to use a crate inside.
About: I've owned pets of all kinds starting as a child! Animals bring me incredible joy, and I'd love to bring that joy into your home when I watch yours! I've owned, rescued and loved cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, raccoons, birds, and squirrels! I currently own 4 cats, all of which were rescues. Two of them brother and sister who I hand raised and bottle fed. I also have 3 dogs, A gaggle a blue heelers, so I'm especially used to high energy pups. Though they very recently left my care due to a separation. I take great pride in the attention to detail I give to the animals in my care. I'm experienced in giving all kinds of medications, to both dogs and cats. In fact, one of my own kitties has kidney disease, and I've been managing his treatment and care 100% alone. Cooking him three meals a day, hand feeding, administering any medications needed, and even giving him at-home subcutaneous fluids. But as always, let's please communicate about the details of your pet beforehand if any special care is needed so we can make sure we're a great fit for eachother! I'm a corporate professional who is very fortunate to work from home, and has really great control of their schedule! So I can very likely work my schedule around your needs! For those whose pets I will be dropping in on to feed or walk, I take great care in making sure instructions are followed, and all the needs of your pets are met! I have an abundance of love to give, so rest assured that they'll get as many scritches as they can handle, and as much fulfillment as I can give while I'm there. I know what it's like to have to leave your fur-family alone, and I'll do everything I can to make this time a positive one for them, and you! I also offer cat boarding, which seems rarely offered. I wanted to offer this because I myself have been in a situation where I've needed this service, and I've never found a place that offers it, and it was absolutely so stressful so try and find a solution! For the kitties that stay with me, I have a completely separate spot in my house that I will have them stay in, since I have kitties of my own. The previous owner of my house actually had this section designed as an in-home salon, so it has a completely separate entrance into my home. As cat owners, we know how sensitive and stressed they can get, and introducing cats to other new cats just adds more unnecessary stress. This separate entrance and room allows for a stress free, safe environment that's large and clean to play and hang in, all to themselves! They will have their own sanitized, fresh litter, litterbox at the ready for them. No need to have to haul your own supplies here! Just bring any food and treats (or any special toys or blankets that you feel might be good things for them to enjoy their stay better, or be more at ease!) Your pets must be fully vaccinated in order to come stay, so please be ready to show proof of up to date vaccinations prior to any boarding bookings. This is for the safety of both your fur babies and mine.

I have been blessed to work and train with many ethologists (behavioralists), service dogs, K-9 units, leader dogs for the blind, and also at Wolf sanctuaries as a veterinary medical specialist throughout the United States. I specialize in pet first aid, senior care, medicating and CPR. Currently taking new clients and am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babie(s). At the present time, I have open availability to do house sitting, dog walking, cat care, obedience training and drop in visits. I will update any changes to my availability often. Pet safety and trust is my number one goal! I would like to first get to know you and your dog or cat through a meet and greet. I would like to assure you peace of mind and for your pet to feel comfortable as well. Will make any accommodations needed! My schedule is flexible, so will be able to cater to your pets needs! I'm also available weekends and holidays for house sitting or drop in visits. (*Additional charges will apply for house sitting & drop in visits during holiday dates*) Even though I have my own spoiled fur baby, please note that he will not be accompanying me to your home. His grandparents are more than happy to watch and spoil him rotten!! :) Please let me know your pet's schedule/needs. If they require scheduled medication or trips to the bathroom frequently. Also, how many hours that they can be left alone during a possible work day. I will definitely make every effort to accommodate a special needs pet ( separation anxiety, frequent medication administering, insulin, feeding tube, etc.(*Depending on the severity of the situation of your pet, please note that there may be additional charges for them during house sitting*)

“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
“Moved to the area a few months ago and have already relied on Marty several times to take care of my furry friend while I'm away. Marty is always excited to see him, and he always goes running into her house to look for the toy basket without looking back. She truly appreciates all his little personality qualities that set him apart, and provides frequent updates throughout the stay. I always know I will pick up my friend happy, rested, and relaxed. Very grateful for Marty and her family, we will be back!”
“Toni was an excellent caregiver for Winston! She took him for walks daily, and I think he was just as sad to have to go as he was to see me when I picked him up. Will board with Toni again.”
“Our dog Ruby loved Holly and her home! Ruby can feel a little scared around new people and Holly made her feel right at home. My family loved all the pictures and updates. We will be use her again!”
“Andrew and his partner were absolutely fantastic for our cat. We were in a situation where we needed our cat of our home for some renovations and they kept us updated with how we was doing all day and with some lovely pictures. If we’re ever in need again I’ll for sure be looking Andrew up again. Thank you!”
“If you are looking for someone to watch your dogs, do not look any further. Tristan is AMAZING! The best I’ve ever found to take care of my pups. I was nervous finding someone new because I have an anxious pitbull and a mini dachshund, he is great with all dogs. He treats your pets as if they were his own. He took my dog for lots of long walks, played with them and even went to pick up food for me when they ran out. He’s so great that I want to gatekeep my review so my pups will always have a spot on his schedule! Thank you Tristan for all that you do!”
“Victoria did an absolutely amazing job watching our young puppy. She sent the best updates that kept us reassured he was having a wonderful time. She clearly loves dogs and cares about taking great care of them, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. I already have another booking with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Our dogs had a wonderful time boarding with Stephanie. They spent a week at her home. Stephanie was wonderful, she sent me photos and fun updates daily. Our dogs received lots of exercise in her huge yard and socialization with other dogs boarding there. Stephanie had no problem giving our older dog her medication. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with Stephanie and would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with Onyx! She sent me updates every day along with pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was obvious that Onyx was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I will definitely be booking with Kelly again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
