Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.

We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Debra was absolutely amazing! She truly enjoys dog sitting and it showed thru her genuine excitement to care for our Goldendoodle after our meet-n-greet. It honestly felt like leaving our dog at Grandmas. She took our dog in on Christmas Day and even got him a present. She even shared some of her Christmas dinner ham with him (after asking for permission of course). Debra genuinely loves caring for dogs. She sends updates and photos throughout the day. We’ve never left our dog with a dog sitter before and she put us at ease after meeting with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our needy and active Goldendoodle. We HIGHLY recommend letting Debra care for your 4 legged child. She will give them all the love and attention they can handle.

About: Experienced in leading dogs big and small, young and old, well-mannered and not. Waking, sitting, drop ins, day care, and training. Deep understanding of dog psychology. Open to any specific requests, flexible with pet parents. I’m currently a full time trainer and pet sitter. I have a relatively flexible schedule. You’re welcome to send me messages about dates and about your pet. I’ll do my best to help out! I live in a large house, multiple floors. I have a large backyard with a leash anchor. Your pet will be my main focus for the duration of their stay whether it be training or sitting. The same goes for sitting or training in your home as well. I adapt well to new houses, don’t mind cats as well. I like to keep clean around the house, and I do offer deep cleaning as an extra.

About: I've cared for both healthy cats and cats with underlying conditions. For 10 years I had a cat that was diabetic that I had to administer insulin to. My current cat is 15 and requires a lot of love and attention.My cat Mabel is a rescued kitten/ cat almost 16 years ago on Halloween night while coming home from work , about 4 cars ahead of me something went flying out the window . I was able to stop and pull over due to not having other cars behind me . It was very cold that night and the sun was just starting to set . I got out of my car and looked around for a few minutes but didn't see anything and I got ready to leave I hear faint cry and I turned and looked down into some tall weeds and there she was , this poor malnourished kitten crying for help . To make a long story short I got her home and the day my wife and I took her to vet . They kept her for 3 days running ivs into her . We able to come and after 3 days thinking she wasn't going make it. And here she is still with after such a traumatic start to her life . I am very grateful to have Mabel as my best friend and wouldn't trade for the world . I love you very much Mabel .

About: I am available in the evenings and weekends so I can be with your pets at all time and tend to their needs. I have owned dogs my whole life as well as cats. I have also grown up on a farm so I am very comfortable caring for large farm animals as well. I have 2 dogs of my own who are both very dog friendly and 1 cat who sometimes thinks she's a dog but doesn't care for other cats as she was attacked by other cats before we took her in. I love all animals and breeds don't matter to me. Your fur child will be treated and cared for like they are my own! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have long leads, go for walks and go to the dog parks frequently so your pet would get plenty of exercise.

About: I have a little self-proclaimed homestead with 2 German Shepherds, 2 indoor cats, 3 outdoor barn cats, chickens, and honeybees. My dogs love to run and play outside, so I provide toys to keep them engaged. They love it when I chase them around the yard and play too! They're not big fans of bathtime but we've got to keep them clean! My cats are very high maintenance but I wouldn't have it any other way. Our outdoor kitties are very adventurous! I enjoy finding toys and food they'll love and grooming them. My furbabies require a lot of love and attention, I adore them all and would love to spread some TLC out to the cats, dogs, and any critters in my community. I love caring for all animals! I am constantly caring for my own fur babies morning and night, but I would love to help you out on the weekends as my availability allows! When I am at a clients home, I really like to respect their wishes and care for their animals as they would. I try to go over as many details as possible as far as where they can go on the property and if they prefer the pup to be on a leash or not.

About: Big or small, I love them all! 💕 I’ve had pets since I was a small child. I’ve cared for sick puppies & kittens, elderly cats & dogs. I have 3 years experience working at a pet bathing company. There I learned a lot about proper hygiene of various breeds and how to safely handle aggressive pets. I also have 400+ hours of volunteer horse care at an equine therapy barn. I walk my own dog daily and he is high energy. I’m always in search of play pals for him to burn energy with. Let us walk your pup! I love to snuggle my pets & make sure they are clean and bug free. I can bathe and lightly groom your pets when needed. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. ❤️

About: We had a small dog when our children were out of high school and our world revolved around him. We miss him a lot since he crossed the rainbow bridge but I am lucky to be a grandma to 5 dogs—a Saint Bernard, a chihuahua mix, 2 terrier mixes and a German Shepherd mix. All rescue dogs with some quirky personality traits that make them a challenge and fun. I have also cared for my sister’s senior Maltese and a neighbor’s senior Boxer. Dogs are my favorite animal and I just love spending time with them! I recently retired from being a paraprofessional at a local school so I have a pretty flexible schedule. My husband works on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays so those days I am much more available but he is flexible if I’m working or have something scheduled. We live out in the country and have a fenced in yard so dogs can play and have some fun time running free. Our neighborhood is safe to walk dogs (we used to walk our little guy around the block daily—1 1/4 miles) and there are also 2 parks close by that we could walk if they seem bored with the block.

This was our first time using a service to find someone to care for our dog. Jaisree allowed me to meet with her before our drop off date to make sure our dog would be a good fit for her. I really appreciated Jaisree’s warmth and desire to understand how to best care for Blue. She did a great job and I will book with her again.

About: Hi, I’m Madison! My passion for dogs started at a young age, growing up with four schnauzers! In recent years, I’ve spent a good amount of time working in rescue and fostering dogs as well as rescuing as many animals as I can. I’ve spent the better part of the last four years working with a certified dog trainer, assisting in teaching classes as well as grooming clients out of my home! I have been grooming dogs for four years. Prior to working with a trainer, I worked in a dog boarding facility and I also own three personal dogs as well as I usually have at least one foster dog. I grew up always having at least four dogs so my love of animals started very young! As a kid I would also house sit for neighbors and family friends. I love helping dogs learn and have a passion for training and grooming! Aside from grooming clients out of my home, I am primarily a stay at home parent. With the exception of occasional errands, I am home 90% of the time to take care of the animals. I have a fenced in portion of my yard with plans to expand the fence this summer as well as three friendly personal dogs to keep your dog entertained and exercised! All of my dogs go outside every three hours minimum. I have a dog wash in my basement and can accommodate dogs of all sizes! We have three kids in our home and while they are all kind to dogs, I also have separate spaces to provide ample downtime should your dog need it.

About: I adopted my sweet boy when he was two and had him for 12 years. We were the best of buddies up until his last days. I love dogs but am not ready to have my own, so if I can help someone else and give a pup a nice walk, I'll be very happy❣️ My husband and I have our own business and I work from home. My schedule is flexible. The notice from the Rover app will be valuable. I'm very active and would ideally love to walk dogs; however, I'm also very comfortable caring for dogs and cats. I can feed and water them, take them out, or clean the litter box. Of course, petting them and playing with them goes without saying! We also have two miniature donkeys, Miracle and Frodo. Although, I'm not too interested in caring for other people's large farm animals now.

My husband and I are happy companions to an 8 yr old basenji. She still has a lot of energy, so we take frequent walks, and have plenty of play time. I've had Lilly since she was a puppy, and have gone through trainings with her. We are looking forward to welcoming your dog(s) into our home. We guarantee that your fur babies will have a wonderful time under our watch. I will send frequent updates and pictures, so you can rest easy during your time away. Please note I require a meet/greet prior to any stay. "Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole" - Roger Caras

About: I have had dogs my whole life and they bring me so much joy. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and I’ve found that I enjoy them all. I’ve had experience with training, potty training and have helped family and friends with dog walking. I currently go to school online so I am home most of the day. I have an older dog of my own so I am used to a routine of being able to be home to let me dog outside and take him for walks at least once a day. I have a fenced in backyard so that your dog can be outside as much as they like. I also have a dog that absolutely loves other animals. My son is a big fan of helping out with animals and we both enjoy snuggling up with our dog at the end of the day. I do allow dogs on furniture and in all rooms of my house, however I will respect if this is something you do not wish your dog to do.

About: All dogs need love, even when you're busy. That’s where I step in! I’ll make sure no love is lost and keep your fur family entertained while you’re away :) I have worked with many dogs outside of the Rover app and love them all - big or small, old or young, stubborn or sweet - and I would love to meet and care for your dog(s) too when you can’t. I may have my toddler in tow with me at times, who loves dogs as well, but if needed I can arrange someone to care for her while I complete the booking. So please communicate if your furry companion is not toddler friendly. Thanks for booking with me, I can’t wait to play with your furry family member! :) I am currently a SAHM, so I have a pretty flexible schedule unless my child happens to get sick or there's an emergency situation. As of right now I do not offer boarding but after our house is finished with some renovations it might be a possibility, as long as they are potty-trained, friendly, good with kids, and get along with my golden/shepard/husky mix.

About: I am available in the evenings and weekends so I can be with your pets at all time and tend to their needs. I have owned dogs my whole life as well as cats. I have also grown up on a farm so I am very comfortable caring for large farm animals as well. I have 2 dogs of my own who are both very dog friendly and 1 cat who sometimes thinks she's a dog but doesn't care for other cats as she was attacked by other cats before we took her in. I love all animals and breeds don't matter to me. Your fur child will be treated and cared for like they are my own! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have long leads, go for walks and go to the dog parks frequently so your pet would get plenty of exercise.

About: I have always loved animals, I have tons of experience with cat & dog sitting. With many walks and trips to the dog parks it’s fun for your pet and I. I am an energetic, fun loving person who wants your animals to have as much fun hanging out as I do. My goal is for them to have a fun active day full of playing and walks. I’m ready to be your pets new friend!! I have been pet sitting all through college and now into my adult life. I work remote part time with a very flexible schedule. So pet sitting is a win win situation for me. I mean it’s the best second job ever getting paid to hang out with dogs/cats that’s amazing! Routined feeding times and consistent potty breaks are given to all pups. In house stays as I am very flexible. I’ve enjoyed dogs sleeping in my bed with me or crated out in the living room. It really just varies from client to client.

About: Loving home with many years experience caring for a variety of pets. Large fenced in back yard, animal friendly furniture, adult at home majority of the day, and two animal loving, responsible older children (15 and 12). In addition to a large fenced in yard for dogs to freely run, explore, and play, we live in a quiet (dog friendly) neighborhood perfect for walking on leash. I hold a special place in my heart for senior dogs but am happy to care for dogs of all ages. Due to two traumatizing experiences with German Shepard as a child, I prefer to stay away from that particular breed. My home is currently pet free for the first time in many years, and my kids and I look forward to caring for your furry kids as though they are our own. They will receive much love and attention while in our care. I recently graduated with my second degree, a BSN, and will begin my first RN job in July; at that point in time I have every other week off and would love to fill my off weeks by continuing to provide dogcare. Leading up to July, I am home and available everyday to care for your furry loved ones. Boarding care provided in my home which includes a large fenced in back yard, as well as a minimal-traffic neighborhood to walk on leash. I am happy to provide boarding in my home, walking in my neighborhood or a elsewhere (I particularly love the Kal-Haven trail), or play dates and potty breaks at your home.

Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.

Julie took great care of our girl! You could tell they treated her like their own. We got several picture updates through the week which helped my son who missed her like crazy. Will definitely use again. Thank you!

We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

If I could leave 10 stars I would! Clara was wonderful and Maddie was so happy playing with all her new friends. Clara’s property is gorgeous, the dogs have so much room to run and play and her cute hotel was spacious, clean and air conditioned. Thank you so much Clara! We can’t wait to see you again

Debra was absolutely amazing! She truly enjoys dog sitting and it showed thru her genuine excitement to care for our Goldendoodle after our meet-n-greet. It honestly felt like leaving our dog at Grandmas. She took our dog in on Christmas Day and even got him a present. She even shared some of her Christmas dinner ham with him (after asking for permission of course). Debra genuinely loves caring for dogs. She sends updates and photos throughout the day. We’ve never left our dog with a dog sitter before and she put us at ease after meeting with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our needy and active Goldendoodle. We HIGHLY recommend letting Debra care for your 4 legged child. She will give them all the love and attention they can handle.

Thank you for always taking such good care of Gully! He always comes home happy and ready for a long nap. 🐶 thank you for watching him while we went to Florida as well. He gets so excited now when we pack his crate and bin. 😊 I always appreciate the pictures too!

Sydney was amazing! You can tell as soon as you walk through her door that her heart belongs to animals. I was so nervous leaving my old man with a stranger for the first time. But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.

About: Experienced in leading dogs big and small, young and old, well-mannered and not. Waking, sitting, drop ins, day care, and training. Deep understanding of dog psychology. Open to any specific requests, flexible with pet parents. I’m currently a full time trainer and pet sitter. I have a relatively flexible schedule. You’re welcome to send me messages about dates and about your pet. I’ll do my best to help out! I live in a large house, multiple floors. I have a large backyard with a leash anchor. Your pet will be my main focus for the duration of their stay whether it be training or sitting. The same goes for sitting or training in your home as well. I adapt well to new houses, don’t mind cats as well. I like to keep clean around the house, and I do offer deep cleaning as an extra.

Kim sent us pictures everyday helping us to see our pets interacting with the family and their dogs. Her communication helped us enjoy our vacation without worry and I am quite sure my two labradors had a fun vacation as well. When we came home I am sure my dogs missed their new friends. Thank you so much Kim and family!
