“Alex was great with my nervous guy. We’ve boarded him in the past and he always seemed to be anxious and have trouble eating. He settled in quickly with Alex. I think being in a home environment was more like his everyday routine.”
“Mark and Marie left us daily updates on our big sweet dog.. Marie gave her extra snuggles and cuddles and took her for walks. She seems very calm and happy with them . We were relived as we don’t leave her often ! Would recommend mark and Marie to care for your loved fur baby!”
“Wow!! We had a boarding set up with another Rover family but unfortunately - it was not going to be a good fit. I quickly messaged Princesa - as this was the day we were to leave for the long memorial weekend - and she responded almost instantly! They were Incredibly flexible offering to meet for public pick up on our way out of town or bring her to their home based on our needs. Our pup had an AMAZING time and we were updated with pictures and texts daily. We were able to enjoy our holiday weekend with our minds at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of!!!! Thank you so much!!!! This was our first time using Rover and will definitely be boarding with them in the future!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“So glad we found such a great family to care for our 2 year old cockapoo, Brody! We were nervous because we had never left our dog overnight with anyone, but from the first meet and greet, to his "practice" day, thru his 4+ day stay, we felt totally comfortable, got great updates and pictures, and Brody was obviously well cared for and happy! We will definitely use again!”
“Jaymie was fabulous to work with she made the process so easy and my golden doodle Goose had a wonderful time and was well taken care of in her home. I will 100% use her again when needed.”
“My two miniature schnauzers had the most wonderful time at Tammy & John’s home away from home. They were cared for so well, felt kindness and that feeling of safety you want your pet to feel while you’re away. Tammy sent many pictures so I knew my dogs were doing well and having a fantastic experience in their home. I would highly recommend!! Thank you so much for caring for Ice and Minnie! They will definitely be back.”
“Candace and Jeremy were amazing. This was my first time boarding my dogs, and they tend to be quite annxios. Hearing they did well, had a great time and were so well cared for makes me so happy. Highly recommend them!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Patti and Patrick. He was dealing with some health issues prior to his stay with them, and they were supportive with giving him his medication. Patti sent us fun text messages and photos everyday of our happy boy. He was well taken care of and loved in their care.”
“An absolutely amazing experience ! First time ever using Anna and Rover.com for my 9mo. Golden Retriever Trump! We had lots of communication and pictures daily! I’m so happy I chose her and will definitely book with Anna again!”
“Buddy enjoyed his stay! Great fenced in yard to run and play with the other dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and updates while we were away. Buddy came home ready to nap after having so much fun! Will definitely stay again. Thank you! Carrie & Dan”
“Jackie was so great! Our dog, Josie, stayed with her and her family for two nights. Her two dogs played well with her as well as her sweet kids. She gave timely updates and sent photos to assure us everything was going well. Josie had a wonderful time and I’d highly recommend Jackie!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“Kayla was so great with our 16-yr old girl for a 5-day trip! She sent photos and updates while we were away and we felt so comfortable and didn't worry at all. She even sent our girl home with some treats, which was above and beyond. We don't know how much longer our dog will be with us, but we are so grateful to have gotten to know Kayla so we have a safe place to leave her for any future trips. You can tell she loves dogs and we 100% recommend her.”
“This was my first ever experience leaving my dog with someone I wasnt familiar with. Michelle was perfect. I never had a second of worry and it was fantastic seeing so many photos of my dog being so happy and having a great time. 100% will be back when we have another trip. The rating is only 5 stars but shes a 10 star person 100%”
“Shelly is the best! She takes care of my dog like no other….even after he’s had surgery (neutered and leg surgery!! Rocky is always so happy to spend time with her. Thank you Shelly!”

“Mia did a wonderful job taking care of my Kitty Dora. She did everything that I asked her to do and responded quickly when I would message her. She kept me updated daily on Dora, which was very nice.”
“Alexandra was a wonderful person to work with to help care for our dog. Her communication was spectacular and our puppy was happy. I look forward to working with her again.”
“Lauren was wonderful with our big guy Max. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of him enjoying the deck outside. She brushed him and made sure he got lots of attention while we were gone. It truly made our vacation much more enjoyable knowing she would be stopping by to spend time with him. I would highly recommend Lauren.”
“Absolutely incredible sitter! Katelyn took care of my dog, Lola, for two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Lola adored her from the very beginning, and it was clear every single day that she was in loving, capable hands. Katelyn went above and beyond—not only did she keep Lola safe, happy, and well-loved, she even taught her a couple of new tricks while I was away! She sent updates, was attentive to everything Lola needed, and treated her with the same affection and patience that I would. Coming home to a relaxed, confident dog who clearly had the best time was such a gift. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, reliable, and genuinely great with animals, I can’t recommend Katelyn enough. She’s fantastic.”
“Kayla won over our very shy cat! She was very detailed with her descriptions on her home visits which allowed us to feel comfortable and enjoy our vacation with no worries on how our cat was doing!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was a child, and my neighbors and friends have trusted me to look after their cats for many years. I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or love lots of cuddles, and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I truly love animals and will make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away!
“Rheanna was great! She communicated very well and gets along really well with animals. She’s truly a natural and isn’t afraid to give them medicine and lots of cuddles and attention.”

“Haley H. did an absolutely MARVELOUS job, looking after our 3 cats. My husband, and I, have NEVER left them, for such a long period of time. We were going away for a month. I was VERY nervous about leaving them at home with someone, the cats, did not know. They were safe. They were healthy. They were happy. I expected weight loss. I expected negative behaviors. I expected "unhappy" critters. NONE of that occurred. Haley kept us informed, as to how the cats were doing. She asked questions, to help her better, tend to them. WE are VERY SATISFIED, with Haley's care. I think the cats are also.”
About: My whole life, I have grown up with animals ranging from dogs, cats, horses, goats, bunnies, etc! I am a true animal lover and have a fur baby of my own, Remi.

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. When married and had kids, we’ve always had dogs and have cared for our dogs in every aspect, walking, bathing, grooming, vet care, etc. Currently we don’t have a pet, but our house is a perfect set up to take care of yours. Currently we are retired. We would have plenty of time to go for walks, play and relax. Our dogs in the past have used our very convenient doggy door into a fenced area for potty breaks. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, getting lots of love and attention during the day and can sleep overnight in a doggy bed or crate whichever is preferred.
About: My husband and I have both grown up with pets and have continued caring for animals throughout our adult lives. We have extensive hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, and we currently care for a variety of animals in our home, including fish, a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, a hamster, and hermit crabs. This has given us a strong understanding of different care needs, routines, and behaviors across species. We’re attentive, patient, and comfortable following specific instructions — whether that’s maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, or helping pets feel calm and safe in a new environment. We truly treat every pet as if they were our own. Because we work from home, pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. We’re around throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship, not just quick check-ins. Our flexible schedule allows us to adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that means extra cuddles, medication reminders, or keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We care for pets as if they are part of our own family. In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play safely. We live on 10 acres, which allows for supervised outdoor time, walks, and fresh air, and we also have a large outdoor kennel available when appropriate for a pet’s comfort and safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we focus on consistency, attentiveness, and respect for each pet’s routine. We follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests closely. We make it a priority to be responsive, communicative, and attentive so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.
“Bailey had a great time. She was exhausted when she got home. We will definitely use them again. Like that they are close to us. Gave a tip when we picked up Bailey.”
About: I have loved and cared for animals my whole life and get a deep sense of joy when I am able to care for them! I have been a Certified Veterinary Technician for 15 years which has provided me experience with all kinds of animals with all types of personalities. I have an animal medical background which helps me provide safe and sound handling techniques and animal care skills. I have owned an array of animals: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits, rats, and mice. I also have cared for other farm animals such as cows, goats, and sheep. I have fostered puppies through Ruff Start Rescue for 7 years which has given me extensive experience with potty training and leash training. I work at a school which gives me summers and weekends available for animal care. I am often available in the evenings year-round also. I have a quiet neighborhood and a large yard. My dog is young, playful, and very friendly. I am familiar and comfortable with crate training and dog-safe practices within the home. I am aware of pet toxicity and safety concerns with pets.
“What a wonderful couple. They “get” dogs. Our one has separation anxiety and the other is borderline. They seemed so chill here and happy. We even got a happy photo of them. We’ll definitely be back. This is so much better than them being cooped up in a kennel at a boarder. Thank you, see you next time.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have had both cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love being around animals of all kinds. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving pets the attention and love they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible and reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I am able to accommodate regular visits, overnight care, and extended stays when needed. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I prioritize dependability and clear communication to ensure each pet receives steady, attentive care while you’re away. I provide calm, attentive care in either my client’s home or my own, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I create a low-stress environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed, following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or habitat care, and any specific instructions provided. I take time to build trust at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing. Communication with pet owners is consistent so you always feel informed and confident your pet is being well cared for.
“Shelly was awesome. She was flexible when I had to change my dates. There was plenty of open space and other animals for Bear to play with. Shelly also was helping with our potty training since Bear is only three months old. I will use her again.”

About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds throughout my life, so being around animals has always been a natural part of who I am.

I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of company, love and attention throughout the day—no long lonely hours here. I live in an apartment that has a dog park, and lots of nearby walking trails I go to daily. Since I don’t currently have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets truly brings so much happiness into our home. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in my care.
About: Hi, I’m Autumn! While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to dogs! Animals have been a huge part of my entire life! At 16, I started working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic. I went on to receive my degree in veterinary technology and dedicated almost 10 years as a tech. Now, I’d love to continue caring for pets beyond the clinic! My husband and I own a 1/2 acre of acre of land in Forest Lake. We have one dog, a senior Shih Tzu named Nala! For the safety of all dogs, I do require they are comfortable being kenneled during times I am away or sleeping. Otherwise, they are free to follow me around the house or even nap on the couch! Caring for animals is my top priority, so I have the flexibility to be home with all pets for the majority of the day, every day! In our home, pets are family! We offer a large lawn to allow your pets plenty of room to exercise. Plenty of snuggles and playtime will be offered along with daily walks as requested/weather permitting. Crating is utilized for safety when pets are not directly supervised (home alone or bedtime). Any other needs? No problem! I know each and every pet has their own unique preferences and needs.
“Anna is fabulous! We have a new puppy and she has watched him all week for us while we are at work! She makes sure he gets playtime with her dogs and naps in too! She sends lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we love! She has done great with helping his potty training and keeping us informed with his rover card each day!”
About: Please note*** I cannot board pets where I live, all pet sitting (days and overnight) is done at your residence. Hello! I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a 3 yr. old yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! Currently I am mobile in the Western AZ / Southeastern CA area. I will come to you. I can stay as long as you need for your pet care - up to 2+ weeks if needed. I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info need to all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!
“Rebekah was amazing watching our pup and we loved all the pictures she took. Her pup was so sweet and played so well with ours. Rebekah was so easy to communicate and coordinate with!”
“Brianna has been such a huge blessing for our family and for our pup, Vince. He absolutely loves going to her house – her kids are so sweet with him and he’s become part of the little pack with her dogs. You can tell she really understands dogs and manages the energy in her home so everyone feels safe and included. I always feel confident dropping him off because I know he’s supervised, loved on, and genuinely having fun. We’re really thankful to have found someone we can trust with our boy during long work days and trips. Highly recommend Brianna if you want your dog to have a second home.”
“Cate and Tim and Ainsley were great to Murphy and their place was a perfect playground. Murphy came home happy and tired. It was our first Rover and she had no stress. Highly recommend them!”
“Another fun daycare day for my puppy at Michelle’s. After playing with the other puppy’s and running the acreage he is all tuckered out. Thank you Michelle!!”
About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for many years. I currently own an 8-year-old Siberian Husky named Storm, so I have extensive experience caring for large, energetic dogs and understanding their exercise needs. We have a large, fully fenced private backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My family provides a loving, structured home environment, and dogs receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We also have two young children, so we only accept dogs that are friendly, gentle, and comfortable around kids. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and at home while their owners are away. Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine. I am a stay-at-home mom to two children, so I am home throughout the day and able to provide attention, care, and supervision for pets. Each day, we go on at least one longer walk with our dog, in addition to shorter potty breaks and outdoor time as needed. These walks are a regular part of our schedule and help ensure our 8-year-old Siberian Husky gets the exercise and stimulation he needs. We also spend time in our large fenced-in backyard, which gives additional safe space for activity and play. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to be flexible and responsive to a dog’s needs—whether that’s extra potty breaks, attention, or adjusting activity based on energy level or weather. Overall, pet care fits very naturally into our household rhythm and is already an important part of our daily family routine. We start the day with feeding, potty breaks, and a walk, and we typically do at least one longer walk each day to make sure our dog gets enough exercise and mental stimulation. Since we have an 8-year-old Siberian Husky, we’re very familiar with meeting the needs of high-energy dogs and making sure they stay active and engaged. Throughout the day, pets are part of our home environment. Because I am a stay-at-home mom to two young children, I’m home and available to provide regular supervision, attention, and outdoor breaks as needed. We also have a large fenced-in backyard, which allows for safe outdoor play and extra exercise time. In the evenings, we maintain a calm routine with another potty break, feeding, and time spent relaxing together as a family. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, well-exercised, and integrated into a structured but flexible household where they are treated like part of the family.

About: I have owned 2 dogs, one that was a bigger rescue dog and that delt with arthritis and a few other health issues. Then currently I have a 1 year old mini dachshund who is fully of life and a little hyper. I have also dog sat for many family and friends over the years. So I have experience working with many types of dogs and am comfortable around all types. When it comes to taking care of your baby, I will dedicate my time to focus on them and their needs. I love playing with dogs, bringing them for walks, if allowed I would love to bring them to a dog park for some social time, or just to get some more exercise! I have also trained my mini dachshund how to do some fun tricks like shake, roll over, spin, and weave between my legs, so if your wanting some fun tricks for your dog I can definitely show/train your dog how to do some! I am usually pretty open after 10:30am Mon-Thur. Then Fri-Sun I am open most of the day. I just need a few days notice so that I am not double scheduling your walk or drop in with my work schedule! Currently, I am only accepting dog walks and drop in visits in your home. I prefer a meet and greet beforehand to make sure I am the right fit for you and your baby.
About: I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, from large farm animals like cows and horses to household pets including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My background includes working with both family pets and farm animals, giving me experience with different temperaments, routines, and care needs. In addition to my professional and educational experience, I also raise and care for my own animals, including rabbits, poultry, dogs, and cats. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Animal Science with a minor in Histotechnology, along with a dual major in Canine Management and Training. My education has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, handling, and proper care techniques. In addition to my schooling, I was involved in 4-H for 10 years and FFA for 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in animal husbandry, responsibility, and daily animal care. I have also worked as a kennel assistant in a veterinary hospital and as a stable hand at a horse rescue ranch, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, exercise, monitoring animal health, and providing compassionate care. I am also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable. What sets me apart is my combination of real-world animal experience, formal education, and genuine passion for animal care. I am comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I strive to provide safe, patient, and reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. I am currently a college student home for the summer, looking to stay busy. I work as a softball coach on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as weekends. While I am not coaching, I am looking to spend my time with animals. Pets in my care are treated like family, and their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. At my home, we have 20 wooded acres with plenty of space for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. Dogs can enjoy supervised leash walks or long-line walks, depending on their needs and the owner’s preference. I always make sure pets are safely handled and closely supervised at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions to make sure each pet gets the care they are used to. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.
About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was 8. I saved my babysitting and birthday money to purchase my Pomeranian at the age of 12. I potty trained her and taught her how to sit, lie down, shake, and rollover on my own. I had her for 17 wonderful years and miss her everyday… Besides my Pomeranian, I have house/pet sat for multiple friends and family members. I currently have a 6 year old pomsky (half husky, half Pomeranian). She is a energetic dog who loves walks, playing fetch, and any squeaky toy. My dogs are my life and I would do anything for them. They are very spoiled! I love dogs so much and would own a house full of them if my husband would let me. I’m currently a full time worker. I’m a certified surgical technologist that works in the operating room at a hospital. I work mostly mornings and 4 days a week. I live 10 minutes from my job and I am gone 8 hours a day when I work. Other than my job, I am always at home. I’m a homebody and stay home most weekends as well. I have a completely fenced in backyard. I let my dog outside every 2 hours when I’m home from work for potty breaks. My dog is fed twice a day (morning & night). When I am at work my dog stays in her kennel. I also have a Furbo (dog camera which I can see, talk, and give treats to my dog while I’m on breaks at work) set up in my basement. My dog, as well as yours if allowed, is allowed on my furniture and to even sleep in my bed at night.
About: I have loved and cared for animals my whole life and get a deep sense of joy when I am able to care for them! I have been a Certified Veterinary Technician for 15 years which has provided me experience with all kinds of animals with all types of personalities. I have an animal medical background which helps me provide safe and sound handling techniques and animal care skills. I have owned an array of animals: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits, rats, and mice. I also have cared for other farm animals such as cows, goats, and sheep. I have fostered puppies through Ruff Start Rescue for 7 years which has given me extensive experience with potty training and leash training. I work at a school which gives me summers and weekends available for animal care. I am often available in the evenings year-round also. I have a quiet neighborhood and a large yard. My dog is young, playful, and very friendly. I am familiar and comfortable with crate training and dog-safe practices within the home. I am aware of pet toxicity and safety concerns with pets.
About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.
About: I just recently had to put my 14.5 year old Yorkie Poo to rest. I miss having a buddy at my house but not ready to take on another animal full time yet. I supported my dog through pancreatitis, congestive heart failure and other health considerations. We had him since he was a couple months old until his golden years. I have watched family members, friends, Rover friend's and neighbor’s dogs and always treat them like my own! Additionally, I have stopped into cat owner's homes to check in on them, clean the litter box, feed/water them, and spend time with them! I currently work from home as a Master’s level Social Worker and have very flexible hours. My children are very comfortable and respectful to animals. My children are at school during the day and will be home during the summer months. The pet would be with me with most of the time, outside of errands, etc. *Please reach out in a message regarding availability! My availability changes and I would like to give you the most up to date information! Thank you!* I currently do not have any animals in the house. I can take the dog on walks and out to use the restroom throughout the day as I do not have a fenced in yard. I have a large yard if your dog can be trusted off leash with supervision. I love to have dogs snuggle, so they are just like any other family member, allowed on the furniture. I will be home to either schedule feed, have them graze eat or kennel as requested.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds throughout my life, so being around animals has always been a natural part of who I am. While I currently don’t have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets is incredibly fulfilling because it allows me to continue giving love and attention to animals while helping families feel confident their pets are in good hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I focus on providing dependable care, lots of attention, and clear communication with updates and photos so you always feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of company, love and attention throughout the day—no long lonely hours here. I live in an apartment that has a dog park, and lots of nearby walking trails I go to daily. Since I don’t currently have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets truly brings so much happiness into our home. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: Certified in dog CPR and first aid, with 50 hours of dog handling and management training through Pack Pro. Five years of experience on a hobby farm, handling all morning and evening chores and feedings for a variety of animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, dogs, cats, and horses. Trust your furry friends to someone with a proven track record of animal care and safety. I work full-time at a dog boarding facility, typically 35-40 hours per week with a mix of morning (6:15 AM - 11:15 AM) and afternoon/evening (12:45 PM - around 7 PM) shifts. While I do work both shifts twice a week, my schedule still offers plenty of open time. Beyond these commitments, I'm generally available and flexible, making pet sitting a perfect fit for my lifestyle! Safety is my top priority. I follow all of the owner's instructions meticulously regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I maintain a clean and safe environment, free from hazards. I build trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs, creating a positive and stress-free experience. I respect the client's home and maintain open communication, providing updates and addressing any concerns promptly.
About: Quality Care with reliability, punctuality, safety and most importantly fun and snuggles! I live in a dog friendly house and I'm a major dog person myself. I love going on walks with dogs (of all sizes). I'm great with feeding schedules and potty schedules. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds for four years now. Need me to house sit? You Betcha! Poop Scoop? No problem. Let me know what your canine needs are and I'll most likely make those accommodations! I'm open to working with dogs with of all abilities as long as I'm made aware of what their needs are. My home is big with a spacious yard but it is not fenced..yet. I live in town but I have a good running route that I love taking my 4 legged friends! I hope to help you give your dog the best life possible. :)
About: Hello! I’m Erin, I am a 20 year old female. I have owned dogs my entire life and love how relaxing it is to walk them, I also get frequently asked to walk/ dog sit for my family and friends! And don’t worry if your dog has a little more energy than others, I also love to run! I am also very patient with dogs and I think it’s is cute to watch them sniff around and show me where they want to go, I am very patient with older dogs and don’t mind slowing down:). I have very open availability during the week days, I am willing to travel, and would love to meet your puppy! I am currently a part-time waitress, only serving on the weekends. My week day schedule is pretty open, I enjoy going to the gym in the morning, but if needed I can set that aside:) When I dog sit/ walk my friends and families dogs I make sure to follow there instructions very thoroughly, every dog is unique in there own way:). And with dog walking I make sure to never let them off the leash and I try to avoid interactions with other people, you never know how a dog will react and it is better to be safe than sorry!
“Paige is AMAZING. She shows up on time, sends great pics of what your pet is doing, and updates accurately about the walk. She is great with my pup and my puppy is so happy when I get home. Paige will continue to be our main dog walker!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets all 22 years of my life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, where I took specialized courses in dog training and behavior, as well as animal nutrition. On top of that, I gained hands-on experience working as a kennel technician at a local veterinary clinic, caring for pets of all ages—including seniors and those with special medical needs. In my free time, I love walking and spending time with my own dogs, so I truly understand how important daily exercise, consistency, and loving companionship are for a happy, healthy pet. Whether your furry friend needs basic care, training support, or just someone to give them attention and love while you're away, I'm here to help! I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science and am currently exploring job opportunities in the animal care field. This means I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, and I’m available for pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the consistent care they need! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, I take dogs out on leashes for all potty breaks and walks to ensure they stay safe and secure at all times. My own dog is crate trained, so I’m familiar with using crates as a safe space when needed. I also take time to slowly introduce pets to new environments or routines to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite walking routes. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment.

About: My whole life, I have grown up with animals ranging from dogs, cats, horses, goats, bunnies, etc! I am a true animal lover and have a fur baby of my own, Remi. I truly believe that pets are part of the family, and they will get treated just like that when I take care of them! I am a registered nurse and work 2 days a week. Being a nurse frees up my time tremendously and I’d love to be able to help you out! We do have a one year old child who loves dogs, so your fur babe has to do well with children 😊 I currently work part time as a registered nurse 2-3 days a week. This allows me to have multiple days off every single week as well as long stretches of time off to play with and take care of your fur babies! I I am available most weekends and multiple days during the week to take care of your animals. I have two loving labrador retrievers at home, Remi and Jagger, to keep your pup company! We spend a lot of time outdoors whether it’s going on walks, going swimming at the local lakes, or just playing in our huge back yard! I will adhere to your wishes for your pet and listen to their needs to make their stay as smooth as possible! I can also administer medication’s if your pet would have that need. And of course I will supply you with updates and pics during your time away, as I understand how difficult it can be ❤️

About: Please note*** I cannot board pets where I live, all pet sitting (days and overnight) is done at your residence. Hello! I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a 3 yr. old yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! Currently I am mobile in the Western AZ / Southeastern CA area. I will come to you. I can stay as long as you need for your pet care - up to 2+ weeks if needed. I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info need to all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!

“Wow!! We had a boarding set up with another Rover family but unfortunately - it was not going to be a good fit. I quickly messaged Princesa - as this was the day we were to leave for the long memorial weekend - and she responded almost instantly! They were Incredibly flexible offering to meet for public pick up on our way out of town or bring her to their home based on our needs. Our pup had an AMAZING time and we were updated with pictures and texts daily. We were able to enjoy our holiday weekend with our minds at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of!!!! Thank you so much!!!! This was our first time using Rover and will definitely be boarding with them in the future!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“So glad we found such a great family to care for our 2 year old cockapoo, Brody! We were nervous because we had never left our dog overnight with anyone, but from the first meet and greet, to his "practice" day, thru his 4+ day stay, we felt totally comfortable, got great updates and pictures, and Brody was obviously well cared for and happy! We will definitely use again!”

We would recommend them 100%!”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“Kayla was so great with our 16-yr old girl for a 5-day trip! She sent photos and updates while we were away and we felt so comfortable and didn't worry at all. She even sent our girl home with some treats, which was above and beyond. We don't know how much longer our dog will be with us, but we are so grateful to have gotten to know Kayla so we have a safe place to leave her for any future trips. You can tell she loves dogs and we 100% recommend her.”
“This was my first ever experience leaving my dog with someone I wasnt familiar with. Michelle was perfect.

The rating is only 5 stars but shes a 10 star person 100%”
