Abi was fantastic! Not only was she so sweet with my dog, Hudson, but she was just so helpful in the process. I felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything while I was traveling and she sent me regular updates and pictures and videos. Hudson has a great time and if definitely have Abi sit for him again.

Marina took good care of our pets and we could tell that she is definitely a dog person. We saw that both dogs were enjoying their cuddles in the picture we received. We are rarely separated from them, so it was nice to have no worries. Marina’s home is lovely and well equipped with pet toys and a feeding station. We noticed the surrounding grounds were nice for walking the dogs. We will rebook should the need arise.

About: I don’t have cats any more, but I did have a special lady named Steenkie. I miss her so much and would love to have a sweet kitty in my life once more. While I train dogs I still hold a special place in my heart for cats. Steenkie (my cat) was the first commitment my husband and I made together (before we even got married) and though Steenk has passed the bond and love we shared as a family will never fade. I would love to care for your cats as I would my own. With love, compassion and of course a tiny little bit of mischief since my girl was a little devil 😂

About: I have two cats of my own, Ollie and Ivy! i have been around cats growing up so I understand how unique each cat can be. It helps me to know their routine, personality, if they’re shy or social, and any medical issues, scooping multiple litter boxes, and caring for cats who need extra space or time to warm up. I’ll always meet them where they’re at to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. 🐱

About: My wife and I have had paws in our house almost from day 1. Over the years we have had 6 dogs and 7 cats, all of which came on board as puppies or kittens, and they all lived long and happy lives. Currently we have 1 dog and 2 cats. I am now retired, so I have maximum flexibility to schedule sitting/walking times. The biggest competitors for my time are the grandkids, and the lawnmower in the summer and snow shovel in the winter. Our cats are indoor cats with access to a screen porch to satisfy their outdoor desires. We have used the Invisible Fence for our previous larger dogs. The client would set the requirements for care at the pet's home. I also have walking shoes and a leash for doggie exercise. I have not signed up to care for client's animals at our house.

About: What sets me apart is my professional background as a Medical Assistant combined with my lifelong love for animals. Growing up alongside our family dog, Topacio, who has been with us for over 10 years, I have developed a deep understanding and gentle touch for senior dog care—knowing exactly how to keep older pets comfortable, safe, and happy. My medical training gives me an extra layer of responsibility, attention to detail, and a calm demeanor when looking after pets. I am well-versed in caring for dogs of all sizes and ages from friends and family, and I focus on providing a structured, loving home environment. I treat every furry guest with the same dedication and affection as if they were my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have a flexible hybrid schedule, working some days from home doing patient video consultations and other days from the office. On my work-from-home days, I am there to provide constant companionship and potty breaks throughout the day. For the days I am at the office, my schedule is highly predictable and structured, making it ideal for pets that are comfortable with a standard workday routine. No matter my schedule for the day, my evenings and weekends are completely free and dedicated 100% to long walks, fun playtime, and plenty of love! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I host pets in my home, I ensure a secure, escape-proof, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel completely relaxed. Here is how I guarantee a safe stay: Structured Supervision: Thanks to my flexible hybrid schedule, I am home several days a week, and even on my office days, my routine is highly predictable. I closely monitor all interactions, ensuring feeding and playtimes are always safe and managed. Introduction & Meet-and-Greets: I always schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand. This ensures your pet feels comfortable in my home and is a great match for our sweet senior dog, Topacio. Tailored Routines & Care: With my background as a Medical Assistant, I am extremely detail-oriented. I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, and any special medication requirements to keep their days consistent. Daily Updates: I love sending frequent photos and updates so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving lots of love.

This was our first doggy care time with William. Our experience with Meet and Greet a few days and today's doggy care day care was very positive. William is easy going and accommodates well. Our dog Leo was excited to be with him this morning. I can see Leo doing this every time he goes to William's house. Definitely will send Leo to be with him in the future.

About: Home full-time and just steps from miles of walking trails, your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We currently have Loki, our friendly 5-year-old Golden Retriever, who loves other dogs, playing outside, and spending time with our two boys. Our boys absolutely love dogs and are gentle, affectionate, and excited to help make visiting dogs feel like part of the family. Boarding with us means your dog will be welcomed into a real home — not treated like just another booking. We only board one dog at a time, which allows us to give your dog plenty of attention, keep the environment calm, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. We do not have a fenced yard, but we have a large, wooded yard (.6 acres) where dogs can safely enjoy time outside on a lead. We also live right by a regional walking/biking trail, so frequent walks and outdoor time are easy and part of our routine. I am comfortable caring for all dogs, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I have experience giving medications, crate training, leash walking, basic obedience, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. I am active and outdoorsy, so dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and being part of family life will fit in well here. For everyone’s safety and comfort, visiting dogs must be potty trained, kid-friendly, and non-aggressive. They do not need to be crate trained. We are not currently accepting puppies. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a safe, loving, active place to stay where they get the kind of care we would want for our own dog. My husband and I both work from home on alternating schedules, so caring for dogs are part of our normal daily rhythm. We are available throughout the day for potty breaks, attention, feeding, walks, and check-ins. We live right on a regional trail, which makes daily walks easy, and we also spend time outside in our large yard with dogs safely on a lead. Pet care naturally fits into our family routine — walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of love. Your dog can expect a warm, active family home with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. Because we only board one guest dog at a time, your dog will get personalized care, a calm environment, and lots of time with our friendly Golden Retriever, Loki. We want dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and included while you are away. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always kept safe on a lead when outside. Our home includes two dog-loving boys and our friendly Golden, so visiting dogs should be kid-friendly, potty trained, and comfortable around another dog. We can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, but crate training is not required. We are happy to follow your dog’s feeding, medication, walking, and sleep routines as closely as possible to help them feel secure.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I’ve cared for multiple dogs through pet sitting, including looking after my mother’s 14-year-old senior dog for two weeks while she was traveling. These experiences have given me strong confidence in handling dogs of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. I currently accept only one dog at a time so I can provide my full attention and ensure a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I understand that every dog has unique routines and preferences, and I carefully follow each owner’s detailed instructions to make sure their pet feels secure and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on attentive, patient, and loving care. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your dog. During the holiday season, I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. My family enjoys spending quiet days together, so pet care easily fits into our routine. We’ll make sure each pet gets regular walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Boarding at my home: My family will spend most of our time at home, so your pet will enjoy calm company in a quiet and cozy environment. We provide clean spaces, regular outdoor breaks, and lots of affection to help them feel like part of the family.

Nickolai was very responsive & communicative. I was able to book last minute with him -for the next day! My pup was greeted with a treat which was a great sign! I also received photos throughout his stay which certainly gave me peace of mind. Bruno came home tuckered out and ready to chill, which is great because mom is ready to chill too after a long day of work. He will certainly be back if I am working in the area again! 😊

Wow! Ed has been just amazing. I came back from knee surgery and just wasn’t able to walk my dog . Ed has been so kind. Consistently prompt and incredibly dependable, Ed always was flexible when I needed a schedule flex. He offered really helpful insights for my dog’s aging (he’s almost 17), was always on time and so thoughtful. Ed even brought me a cookie and hauled my empty and full garbage cans to the curb and back! My dog really loved him and I appreciated the updates. I’ve so enjoyed having Ed’s assistance with walking and would highly recommend him for any help you may need with your pets.

About: I’m a full-time pet caregiver with more than 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, fish, and other small pets. I’ve also been actively involved in animal rescue and fostering since 2021. One of my most meaningful experiences was fostering a blind and deaf senior Chihuahua with Cushing’s disease in hospice care for over a year. This strengthened my ability to provide patient, individualized care for senior, anxious, special-needs, and medically complex pets. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and administering oral medications. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight house sitting. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine while providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship. You’ll receive thoughtful photos, detailed updates, and prompt communication throughout your pet’s care. Multi-pet families are especially welcome! My flat day rate includes all pets disclosed, listed on the Rover booking, and cared for at the same location—no additional pet rates. I provide full-time care but may step out briefly for prearranged dog walks or appointments, as discussed and agreed upon before booking. Feel free to message me with any questions! For added peace of mind, every service booked and paid for through Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes 24/7 support and up to $25,000 in veterinary care reimbursement for eligible claims. Pet care is my full-time work, so my daily schedule is organized around the pets in my care. I offer flexible availability throughout the day and week, including early mornings, late nights, weekends, and many holidays. This allows me to accommodate established routines, recurring services, and last-minute requests when availability permits. I plan travel time carefully between bookings and avoid overbooking so each pet receives their full scheduled time and attention. I begin each booking by reviewing the pet’s routine, behavior, triggers, health needs, and emergency information. I double-check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes before transitions, keep dogs leashed outdoors unless safely contained in an approved area, and monitor the weather to ensure outdoor activities remain safe. I have experience with crates and crate training and am comfortable following an established crating routine when needed. I can also safely manage designated areas of the home using baby gates, closed doors, playpens, or other barriers according to the pet parent’s instructions. This can be helpful for maintaining boundaries, separating pets during meals, or providing each pet with a comfortable space. My goal is always to provide as much safe, supervised time outside confined areas as possible, with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow all access and security instructions, maintain the pet’s familiar environment, and leave the home clean and securely locked. Meet-and-greets are welcome so we can review care instructions and ensure everyone feels comfortable before the booking.

About: Our family simply adores dogs. I personally have owned a dog for the majority of my life and have raised two puppies. My kids (14 and 12 y.o.) love dogs and dogs love them too. We have a very spacious fenced yard and my kids love playing with dogs and keeping them active in our backyard. We also take dogs for nightly walks. Our 7-year old (29 lbs) cockapoo Lily does great with dogs of her size or smaller, also with dogs that have moderate energy. She does not seem to feel comfortable with high energy dogs and also with dogs that are significantly bigger than her (hence we don't host dogs over 40 lbs). We don't crate (unless your pooch prefers it) and our guest dogs will sleep with us in bed (if they want). Your furry child will feel right at home with us as we will shower him/her with love and LOTS of cuddles and will treat him/her as part of our family 🐾❤️ I work mostly from home so I'm usually available to spend time with your dog giving them the love and attention they need. We currently have a dog of our own ( 7 y.o. cockapoo) who we care for daily. She is a very friendly dog. We have a fenced back yard and one dog of our own to keep your dog company. We also walk our dog on daily basis to give her extra exercise. My 14 and 12-year old kids love playing with the dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Steph — a full-time pet caregiver through Rover and the heart behind a growing pet photography business. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have experience with all kinds of animals, from high-energy pups to quiet companions. I share my life with my dog Scooby, who’s a big lovebug and gets along great with both people and other animals, and two leopard geckos, Helios and Haku, who each have their own little quirks and charm. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have hands-on experience with pet nutrition and wellness—I've worked with a variety of healthy foods, natural supplements, and holistic care routines. I’m great at picking up on subtle signs when something’s off and take pet health seriously. Whether we’re playing fetch, going for a walk, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always follow your instructions to a T—because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule so please feel free to send me a request or a direct message to sent up an appointment! I have worked with certified fear free trainers as well as being a groomer for 3 years now I am very aware of animal body language and how to meet their needs so they feel safe in their environment. I do have a dachshund mix named Scooby that is incredibly friendly with Small to XL dogs. She’s always up for having a play date!

About: I've lived on a homestead taking care of farm animals including dogs, cats, goats, horses, chickens, and much more! My parents bred and trained AKC Labradors and Beagles for wild game hunting. I became a farm hand for a local barn in New Hampshire at the age of 14. Once I was 16 I started overnight caretaking for horses, dogs, and cats. I have experience training puppies and rescue dogs with my parents. I also own amphibians and non conventional pets so I'm familiar with exotic caretaking. I'm currently dog sitting/walking/feedings fulltime. I'll have plenty of time during the day to play with your pets and take them outside for potty breaks. I live in apartment that does not allow cats or dogs so any pet sitting will have to be done at your home. I have my own private insurance alongside Rover Garantee. I will need a full tour of your yard if it's fenced, to make sure there aren't any means of escaping. A full detailed care sheet that includes the pet's schedule, behavioral concerns (a must), vitamins or medications schedule, prefered place to walk or run (typical place you go to help understand your pet's public behavior and help form trust with them. I will always learn your pet's behavior in a controlled and comfortable environment first. Then if you approve, we can eventually go on hikes. The more detail I have about your pet, the better their transition will be in my care. Trust and Safety is my top priority when caring for a family member that can't speak.

About: I have been a dog / cat sitter for my friends, family and neighbors since I was 13. My family had both dogs and cats in the house when I was growing up. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I especially enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them outside to help expend their energy. I currently work from home in a corporate position. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend some of it taking care of animals. Typically, I am staying over at the client’s home for the duration of their trip / vacation. The client will often have me over to their home prior to their departure to meet the animal(s) and go over their needs and any other special requests they may have. It is very important to me that the client feels safe entrusting me to stay in their home and take care of their pets.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 12+ years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised and cared for a Border Collie mix, Boxer, Pug, and Min Pin—so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs to smaller companions. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, administering medication, and making sure pets get the exercise and attention they need, including outings to dog parks. I’ve also been involved in training, so I understand the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement. Your pet will be treated like family—safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins. I’m available most evenings as well, depending on my kids’ activities, and I plan my schedule to make sure each pet receives reliable and attentive care. I offer loving, reliable care both in my home and yours. I live in a two-bedroom place near Dean Parkway, just minutes from Lake Bde Maka Ska—perfect for walks, fresh air, and dog park visits. I’m active, so your pup will get great exercise, but there’s also plenty of comfy space for downtime and cuddles. My two kids are also gentle and loving with all pets, adding to the warm, welcoming environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels right at home.

About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days starting at 8am, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!

About: 🐾🐾🐾I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I currently care for my 9yo cattle dog mix. 🐶🐶🐶Growing up, my family got a dog when I was 2. Ever since then, I enjoy being around all kinds of pets and animal companions! 🐐🐐🐐I hope to expand my experience into farm-sitting with a special interest in goats and sheep. ♥️♥️♥️ How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? I currently have an open schedule besides school and babysitting! I get my dog out for walks everyday too. I usually care for pets at a client's home. Caring for the home and animal companions is a priority for me. Please let me know specific care needs in a message as you think of any.

Abi was fantastic! Not only was she so sweet with my dog, Hudson, but she was just so helpful in the process. I felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything while I was traveling and she sent me regular updates and pictures and videos. Hudson has a great time and if definitely have Abi sit for him again.

Marina took good care of our pets and we could tell that she is definitely a dog person. We saw that both dogs were enjoying their cuddles in the picture we received. We are rarely separated from them, so it was nice to have no worries. Marina’s home is lovely and well equipped with pet toys and a feeding station. We noticed the surrounding grounds were nice for walking the dogs. We will rebook should the need arise.

Taylor took great care of my two large dogs for a week. One of them can be a bit difficult with feedings, and Taylor handled it like a pro. She provided frequent updates and pictures of my dogs. I will definitely hire her to board my dogs again.

Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!

We recently had the pleasure of entrusting the care of our two Yorkie rescues to Beth & Evan, an exceptional team of dog caregivers. Our Yorkie rescues have significant challenges due to their past experiences with anxiety, abandonment and physical and emotional trauma exposures, and even after year of building resilience and redirecting behavior, they continue to struggle with these issues. From our first interaction with Beth & Evan, it was evident they were experienced and attentive to their triggers that could cause stress by taking time to understand their unique challenges in personalities, approaching them with a calm and centered demeanor, and put the dogs at ease, as they are wary of new people in situations. Beth & Evan went above and beyond to make our dogs feel loved, comfortable, and safe, and we are incredibly grateful for their exceptional care. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking compassionate and effective pet caregivers.
