“This was Linus' first time with Felix. It was great! We recieved pictures and videos. linus really enjoyed playing with the other dogs. We will definitely use Felix again!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and had a great experience. Sarah took wonderful care of our dog for three days in her home. She was so kind and accommodating (and super easy to communicate with!). Her home had a great fenced in yard and from the pictures she sent me while we were away - could tell my dog was very happy and content. Highly recommend, Sarah!”
“Christina and her family took such great care of Oliver during our recent extended family vacation. Christina was an excellent communicator and was very flexible with adjusting Oliver’s care instructions when needed during his stay. We are so grateful that Oliver had a place to stay that gave him the same TLC he receives from us at home.”
“We are so appreciative of Ruth and she did a wonderful job caring for our 12 week old Aussie puppy! She is conscientious and caring and did a fabulous job of keeping us updated and sending photos of our Sonny! We were so happy knowing Ruth was with our puppy when we needed to be out of town. We highly recommend booking with Ruth for your Rover needs!”
“couldn't be happier with the help Melvin and his partner gave us, we were at a bind and they came to the rescue! On top of that our Moka was treated like family and they sent pictures regularly, we will definitely ask for their help later on. 1000% recommended !”
“Renee did a great job watching my dog Blu! She took him on walks, played with him each day, and brought him to the dog park once as well. She sent photo updates everyday. I would definitely recommend and would book with Renee again!”
“Roman was fantastic watching our little Lilo. This was her second time staying with him and his family. They always are excited to have her. She gets walked and they send photos daily. Highly recommend”
“Kelly was GREAT with Howard! I was a little nervous about a house with a few pets already, but they hit it off GREAT and let him burn off some steam. Loved receiving happy pictures of my pup getting just as many belly rubs and play time (if not more) than he gets at home. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of my dog!”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
“Jenn was awesome! From the meet & greet to the weekend boarding. I was so nervous as it was our first time having to board our Aussiedoodle Jax. Jenn made sure to send us pictures & videos multiple times per day. It was such an added bonus to see our puppy just having the best time! She had toys & even took him swimming! I know Jax had a great time, he was wore out & sleeping as soon as we got home. She was really understanding & listening when I brought up his food allergies. I will continue using her for boarding & recommending her to our friends with dogs that may need it.”
“Jacob took great care of our dog while we were away! We were kept updated, and a very happy pup was returned to us. Extremely impressed with the service, would highly recommend and absolutely book again.”
“Terry and his wife were excellent, they have the cutest house and a very big backyard for dogs to play or walk around. Tita (my dog) enjoyed her time with them, she seem so happy to be there when I picked her up. Thank you so much for giving her so much love. I will definitely rebook with them again.”
“Kijah did a great job taking care of Rocky! She was communicative, caring and sent regular photo updates to let us know he was doing well. It was nice to know he was in good hands!”

“Dan was awesome to work with, and his dog Penny is a sweetheart that immediately welcomed my young, anxious rescue lab Goose into her home. He made sure Goose felt comfortable in the house, provided him with sufficient exercise, and sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. Highly recommend Dan to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“This was our pups’ second time staying with Dan and Kelly, and we couldn’t be happier with their stay. Dan and Kelly are communicative and accommodating, and we really appreciate them!”

Cat caregivers near you - John Ball Park
“Holly was amazing! I went away for 6 days so was worried to leave my two cats that long. She stayed at our house. They were so calm when we got back I could tell Holly was here with them a lot. My cat even ran out here when she heard the door, saw it wasn’t Holly, and ran back to the room! I will def be using her again!”
“Kelly did great with a drop in visit with my dogs. Asha is a senior lab with some health issues and Nala is very anxious but they both seemed happy and relaxed. Kelly sent pictures and updates and I would definitely hire her again.”
“I am a repeat customer with Kate and that’s for good reason! My cat recently had an health issue that required some changes in care. Kate was so easy to work with regarding the updated care schedule and steps if the issue flared up again. All went so smoothly while I was gone and I didn’t have to worry as I knew Kate was quite capable and takes great care of my Gracie.”
“Abigail is super responsive and did a great job with our puppy. Our dog is working through separation anxiety so it was so nice to get pic updates. She was on time and I cannot speak highly enough about how responsive she was. Would recommend!”
About: I've lived with cats since I was a kid. My favorite thing about them is how unique each ones personality is. I've had the pleasure of fostering and homing many strays and ferals in my life and I have a special place in my heart for each. I have experience getting medicine to them, senior cat experience, and experience with kitties who just need a bit of space.
“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”
“Lauren was a fantastic sitter for my two anxious cats. She took time to come over and meet us before I left & asked great questions to make sure she understood everything. I appreciated her photos & update and returned to 2 happy cats. Thank you Lauren!”
“Leah is amazing!!! Communication is awesome and she’s beyond flexible!! Been booking with her continuously and couldn’t be happier with her service!!!”
“Booking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl 🐱. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant. If you want someone that’ll take care of your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to book Kelsey & Forrest. I will definitely book them again in the future :)”
About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.
About: hi! i’ve always had cats in my home since the day i was born! i’ve taken care of old cats and kittens alike and i have 4 cats of my own that i care for now. please reach out I would love to meet your furry baby :)
“Bethany is very reliable and we don’t worry about our dogs when left in her care. We’ve used her twice and have her signed up for another short trip!”
“Madison did such a great job! She and Brooks provided excellent care and were diligent about making sure my escape artist cat stayed inside while I was away. They were safe and loved! She also helped me out with some stray neighborhood cats and went above and beyond.”
“Jack stayed at our apartment with our 3 cats while we were away. Our cats have a very odd and complicated routine and Jack did a great job keeping up with it! He was very communicative and took great care out of cats.”
About: I’ve had multiple cats my entire life. I got my first cat when I was quite young and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love all animals but cats hold an extra special place in my heart. I love playing with them and of course, snuggling with them. I understand their dietary needs quite well and their body language is very easy for me to read.
“Maelee did an excellent job with keeping us in the loop on her visits. She even went back to check on our cats after she had some issues getting in!”
“Kaitlin goes above and beyond to take care of our pets. She is extremely communicative and trustworthy, and she does an amazing job. We feel so comfortable having her come take care of our pets for us while we are away and she makes the process so smooth and easy. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - John Ball Park
“Winston comes home from Renee’s house happy and sleepy. Her home and yard are great for a lower-energy dog. She also made sure to update me on his first day, which helped my peace of mind!”
About: Hi, I’m Jacy! I provide reliable, insured dog boarding and daycare. I send regular detailed updates with tons of photos so you can know exactly how your baby is doing while you’re away. I strive to not only give your dog a fun, safe and comfortable place to stay, but also for you to feel comfortable and confident that your pet is being taken care of and having a good time while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. I treat every dog like family and strive to make their stay feel like a home away from home. For boarding and daycare, dogs must: • Be up to date on vaccinations — proof will be required before bookings are confirmed (Rabies, DHPP, Leptospirosis and Bordetella) • Be friendly with other dogs and cats • Be potty trained (or training if puppy) • Be comfortable being left alone for up to 2.5 hours (if needed) Flexible scheduling available—message me anytime. I’d love to meet you and your pup! AVAILABILITY: I work early mornings, allowing me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I'm available Tuesday–Saturday after 8:30am and fully available Sundays and Mondays. I require drop offs to be before 7pm to ensure all dogs in my care have time to get comfortable together and have a chance to burn energy before bedtime. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any special care needs, with safety always as my top priority. All dogs are fed in separate areas to avoid any food aggression and I keep dogs calm for 20-30 minutes after meals to avoid any possibility of bloat.
“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”
“This was our first experience with River and boy, did we choose wisely! This was a “test” for our pups in preparation for a 2 night stay and it was really good! Jenn meet us at the front door and took the dogs immediately out the back to the yard to aid in our escape. Of course they were happy to see us upon our return but we are confident in our decision to leave them longer with Jenn. We highly recommend her!”
About: We take extra time to make sure they have exercise, love, play, safety, and fun. We treat your dog as if he's one of our own. Someone is always home to care for our pets. Their care is our #1 priority. We have scheduled meal times and always ensure fresh water is available. We also take time to make sure they have plenty of exercise and fun. We take multiple walks each day, spend time playing with them, ensure that they are well cared for and loved. We make sure they are happy!
About: What sets me apart is my 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, as well as cats and bunnies. I don’t just “watch” pets—I truly understand their behaviors, routines, and emotional needs. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime. I’m also prepared to handle extra needs like crate training, light grooming, and senior care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—giving them the attention, patience, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs—as well as cats and bunnies. I provide daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime, and treat every pet like family. 🐾 I offer a secure fenced yard for safe roaming, a heavy-duty crate available upon request, and a variety of pet-safe toys and treats. If your fur baby needs a bath or light grooming, I’m equipped with hygiene supplies, brushes, and combs to keep them clean and comfortable. 🐾
“Melissa was absolutely awesome taking care of our dog, Finn! She’s so friendly and Finn felt comfortable with her right away. I felt good leaving him in her hands. I definitely recommend her if you need some doggie daycare!”
“I’ve been having my puppy stay with Daniel and his wife periodically throughout the week for the past month. First and foremost, Daniel is very flexible and understanding of my sometimes unpredictable work schedule. Working in the health field, it’s comforting knowing that Hugo will be taken care of even if my days are longer than expected. There was one instance where I ended up working well into the night and Daniel was able to keep Hugo overnight. A huge help! Second, I enjoy the fact that Hugo is able to play with other dogs and interact with their dog parents throughout the day. I think this gives him good interaction and good socialization to help him as he gets older. Finally, Hugo is always so excited to see Daniel in the morning! This makes me feel like Hugo is having fun and is getting good attention while at doggy daycare. It’s very comforting knowing that Hugo has such a good place to spend his days when I’m at work.”
“Cub had another fantastic play date with his friend Mabel! I know he’s treated well because he gets super excited when we show up to their house! He’ll be looking forward to the next hangout :)”
About: I have 6+ years experience of doggy daycare/boarding industry being a General Manager at a local facility. I would take care of 60+ dogs, senior dogs, puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, noise sensitive dogs, etc. I also have 2 years experience in the vet field as an assistant/receptionist at a vet office and emergency care office. I also have experience with administering medications, cutting nails, & light grooming. I am a stay-at-home mom, so I am home all day including most weekends with my husband, Lucas. From waking up early in the morning to staying up late in the night, I’m always attentive. I have leads and leashes to walk your pet, take them out to the bathroom & even just to play outside! We love going to fields to play ball or just going on nature walks around our neighborhood. This can happen at our house or yours as well! Pets are closely monitored throughout their whole stay with me. I also have the ability to crate your pet during certain parts of the day if you wish, otherwise they will have access to most of our home if they stay here :)
About: For the last 10 years, I’ve taken care of my rescue chiweenie through heart failure in all of her senior dog quirks. Since her passing i have so much love to pour into ur pets! I also have experience watching 2 dogs ( max and Thelma) for one month during a work exchange in Hawaii and a dog named goia for a month in Switzerland! Work looked like: 2 hour walk every morning, feeding, brushing, bathing. Etc. I am currently a server and a yoga teacher. My schedule is very flexible and I have a lot of free time in the mornings. I live in a very walkable area with a large apartment also available to pet sit in your home or available for long hikes or walks
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life within my own family as well as being trusted to watch over friends and family pets as well. This includes dogs of all sizes, medical needs, senior care, etc. I am able to be home to give your pet the attention and frequent potty breaks they may need and can provide frequent updates and photos while you’re away. I look forward to connecting! I am currently working from home only part time and would be able to watch over your pet in the home all hours of the day and week. I have a friendly dog at home that gets along great with others. I have a yard and would be able to take your dog out leashed and for walks as it is unfenced at this time. I can definitely crate your dog if needed, let them roam around if that’s what you’re comfortable with, provide medication as needed, etc.
“Chris and Vashti are great! They’re almost always available, even when I need daycare last minute. They share constant updates throughout the day. I get photos and messages showing Cinder Block having the best time, which makes it so much easier to leave him knowing he’s in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, not just going through the motions. Cinder comes home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for every single time. Couldn’t recommend them more.”
“Susan has been a fabulous fit for our pups and our needs. She is a true animal lover, has a big fenced back yard where the dogs can frequently run and play, and she treats each dog like her own. Having my pups stay with Susan is like having them experience a trip to a “grandma’s” house, of sorts. They definitely get loved on!”
“Ashley is super friendly and made us feel very safe leaving our puppy in her care. Her huskies are patient play partners and helped our pup start to learn some manners around adult dogs. I wasn’t ever worried she’d push them too far. Ashley was very flexible and we would happily book with her again when the need arises.”

“Lauren has been amazing to work with! She met with us before since my dog can be a little shy but he warmed up quickly to her. She was always on time and quick to respond. I’d recommend her to anyone in need of pet walking/sitting etc.”
“Thank you! Lillie was able to come by with very little notice and arrived right on time. She was easy to communicate with and very patient with Squidward, who is shy and nervous around new people. They went for a walk, and when the heat became too much for him, she appropriately brought him back early. I had a good first experience and will likely book with her again so Squidward can continue getting comfortable with her.”
About: I have been caring for and loving dogs and cats for my whole life but have been doing pet sitting for the past 6 years! No longer having one of my own, I have a very open schedule and love to spend my time keeping your fur babies company! My favorite past times include walking and curling up with a good book and would love the opportunity to include your sweet pets! I do remote work right now so I have a lot of free time to spend with your fur babies! I am available for home stays or drop-ins of any length, and love to fill my time with sweet animals of all types and personalities! I am a very active person and love long walks but also love to curl up and cuddle with your fur babies on the couch with a good book. I can fit in wherever and however your pet will be most comfortable. I am capable of crating animals and also love to cuddle up with them, I am punctual and communicative and want to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well. I work full-time but I make my own schedule and I can have dogs at my work. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks. I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.
About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, helping care for the pets of friends and family, and raising my own dog, Gus, have given me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. Whether they're big or small, I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication to everything I do. I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am a teacher, who is available all summer, to walk, care for, and feed your lovable pets! -24 hour care -7 days a week I'm happy to care for pets either in your home or welcome them into my own. I know every pet has different needs, so I'll follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels at ease. Whether I'm caring for them in your home or mine, I'll treat them like family and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“I am a very over protective doggie mom. I met Claire and instantly liked her and so did my Daisy. She helped us out for a few days and I cannot tell you how pleased and grateful I am for hiring her. She is wonderful with dogs (and mine is strong and a bit wild). My dog LOVES her! I cannot recommend Claire enough! I wish this offered more than 5 stars!”
About: I have cared for animals since I can remember- I grew up on a farm and my first ever job was at a pet store where we had extensive education about animal behavior and nutrition. I started fostering animals after college and while I don't do that full time anymore - cats and dogs always seems to find their way to our house when in need. I have done dog walking and house/ cat sitting on and off for friends and friends of friends for years and I always go out of my way to find more animals to cuddle. This gig seems like the best way to do that! I work 12 hour shifts only a couple days a week so I have many free days for pet care. I am home all the days I'm not working and can spend it with furry friends! I have a fenced in back yard and tons of walkable space near my house for plays and exercise for your baby. I am good at going with the flow of whatever the fur baby's energy is but I am also great at following a routine for your baby as well.
“Anna did an amazing job with Maple! She was so communicative and really eased my anxieties being so far from home. Will definitely be using her services again, and recommend her to anyone looking for care!”
