Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hope
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hope
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“Erin was very accommodating to our last minute need for a sitter. She sent updates and pictures every day and was quick to respond. She made sure our dog was eating (hand feeding) even though he was nervous in a new setting. Our dog had a fun time playing with other dogs in her backyard. Would recommend!”
“I was so happy to find Kathy. My dog Ashley was able to stay in a nice and clean home similar to hers and made friends along the way. Kathy is very much a dog lover I was not worried about Ashley at all. A very good feeling. I will definitely leave her again when I am back in area”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our beagle. She went above & beyond to make him feel at home. He is naturally nervous & anxious but had zero problems staying at her home. He even got along nicely with her dog. I would definitely recommend Kim as a sitter for your fur baby. We’ll be using her again! A+++ 🌟🌟🌟”

“Susan was a great sitter for our boy Loki!! Sent us updates and the atmosphere at her home helped Loki on his first stay away from his home. Will use her services again!!! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Jeanne has watched our dog snoopy several times. He a pretty good dog, but has separation anxiety and can't be left alone. Jeanne always takes great care of him. He is happy and engaged the entire time he's in her care. He absolutely loves running around her fenced in back yard. We are very grateful that the first person we found on Rover has been such a good sitter and we rebook her EVERY time snoopy needs to be watched.”
“Jerri took excellent care of our Lab, Pearl. She sent twice daily updates on Pearl along with photos. She treated my dog like one of hers. I felt completely comfortable with Pearl in Jerri’s care.”
“Janis and her dogs were a great host for our young dogs first overnight away from us. We met up quickly a couple days before hand so that she was sure Thule would be a good fit at her house .

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hope
“Samantha is responsive, cheerful and friendly. Tag had a wonderful time staying with her family, including Stanley, a sweet golden retriever. We won’t hesitate to use Samantha again and recommend her highly to others!”
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
“Erin has a beautiful, large fenced in yard for dogs and children. She is conscientious, kind, on time, and communicates with her clients. Molly likes her. I will definitely trust Erin with my Molly again.”
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”

Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.

About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us!

My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family.

“Jeanne has watched our dog snoopy several times. He a pretty good dog, but has separation anxiety and can't be left alone. Jeanne always takes great care of him. He is happy and engaged the entire time he's in her care. He absolutely loves running around her fenced in back yard. We are very grateful that the first person we found on Rover has been such a good sitter and we rebook her EVERY time snoopy needs to be watched.”
“Jerri took excellent care of our Lab, Pearl. She sent twice daily updates on Pearl along with photos. She treated my dog like one of hers. I felt completely comfortable with Pearl in Jerri’s care.”
“Janis and her dogs were a great host for our young dogs first overnight away from us. We met up quickly a couple days before hand so that she was sure Thule would be a good fit at her house . She provided updates and pictures showing the fun he was having. We would definitely recommend boarding with Janis!”
