Second time my Juno has stayed with Dayjah for travel and she comes home happy and well taken care of. I love that Dayjah has dogs of her own. They are so sweet with my girl and keep her busy while she's away!

Emily and her family took the BEST care of our dog, Archie. They made Archie feel right at home. I was sent pictures that showed just how comfortable Archie was, he was happy and truly, living his best life!! Emily's family dog, Maggie, was so sweet and the two dogs really seemed to get along well. I would absolutely recommend Emily for your pet's stay. Her and her family were SO kind and easy to communicate with, very prompt and helpful. This was our first "Rover" experience and I feel so fortunate we found this wonderful family.

About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.

The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!

This was a fabulous experience and we will definitely use Andrea again. We got regular reports and pictures. Our dog had a lot of fun being part of their “pack” and I felt very comfortable with Andrea’s ability to handle any inter-dog issues that might come up. Our dog has some dietary issues and these were easily and effectively managed. Overall I was satisfied and impressed.

I feel so lucky to have found Laura to care for Willie for six nights while I brought my kids to college out of state! Willie may be little, but he’s a big spoiled baby. Laura and her family gave him just what he needed: lots of love, snuggles, walks, play, and nap time! I lived for her daily texts and photos which assured me that I had made the right choice to have him at Laura’s. No question, this will not be the first time that Willie stays at Laura’s when I have to go out of town.

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!

About: I've had cats in my life since I was a baby and care for 3 of my own. My cat Luna who has now passed was THAT animal in my life, if you know what I mean. I raised her from 3 weeks old and taught her to play fetch, do some basic commands, and to walk on a leash. She needed me to give her milk for several weeks, and care for her 24/7 when she came into my life. So I am no stranger to special needs cats/kittens. I've even provided end of life care to my grandmother's cat which included injections and oral medication and cleaning her body when she had accidents. So whether you need me to come cuddle your purr baby, give them a walk, help raise kittens while you're away on a work trip, play, or even scoop litter for an extra fee, I will be there, enthusiastically, to provide the upmost care for your cat.

Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!

About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life and truly understand their rhythms, quirks, and personalities. From outgoing, playful kittens to shy, sensitive adults, I’m comfortable meeting every cat exactly where they are. My soul kitty, Aida, taught me how deeply cats bond and how important it is to respect their space, routines, and communication. Because of her, I’m especially tuned in to subtle cat body language — the “soft signs” that tell you when they want affection, when they need space, or when something feels off. I’m experienced with: • Litter box care & multi-cat households • Slow introductions and trust-building for shy cats • Routine feeding (including picky eaters) • Play enrichment tailored to energy level • Senior cat needs • Oral and topical medications • Keeping cats comfortable while their humans are away I’m calm, patient, and quiet with cats — which often helps even the more cautious ones warm up quickly. Whether your cat wants snuggles, playtime, calm companionship, or a low-stimulus visit, I adjust to their comfort level and give them the kind of thoughtful, respectful care they deserve.

About: Hello, my name is Allie and it's safe to say that I love dogs. I work at a dog daycare so I have experience with a lot of different breeds and temperaments. My speciality is working with the shy terrified dogs. When it comes to walking dogs I do have experience with gentle leaders and double leashing. I have a Vizsla puppy and a Chihuahua. The two of them have taught me how to be extremely active and mellow at the same time. My schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week and weekends. Before working with dogs I worked at a group home. That experience gave me the ability to pay attention to the littlest details and to have fast reflexes. I also have experience passing medication (convincing dogs that it's not awful). I would love to be your fury friends friend.

When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!

About: I've taken care of all types of pets from a very young age. Whether it be a tiny chihuahua to a sizeable Bullmastiff, a cat, birds including chickens, reptiles, fish, even small furry friends like rabbits or ferrets. I have adored and been fascinated by animals my whole life and am up for any challenge you throw at me. I've personally trained my dog to follow voiceless hand signal commands and he is also special needs, so caring for a senior or special needs animal is a breeze for me! I've even provided end of life care for my grandmother's cat, which included administering fluids via injection, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Not to mention that I have experience raising young kittens and squirrels at milk drinking ages! I am available from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and overnights on Fridays and Saturdays. I could possibly do extended overnight stays in my own home if your pet is dog, cat, and young child friendly. Whether it be for a walk, potty break, comfort while you're away, socializing and training your puppy basic commands (and maybe a few tricks), or even just taking your furry friend out for a pup cup and to a sniff spot, I'm the gal for you. I will even provide litter or doggy doo doo cleanup for an additional price. Your pet will always be safe and loved in my hands. I am currently in between jobs, and my kiddos go to daycare from 7am-5pm M-F, so I am available to help between those times, or overnights at your house on Fridays and Saturdays. I could be purr-suaded to do extended overnight stays at my house if your feline is cat, dog, and young child friendly. If I am caring in my home, I have 3 cats-all fixed- a special needs male dog who is NOT fixed due to medical reasons, and two kids under the age of 5. If you choose to keep your pet at my home, they need to be able to get along with them or be kept in a separate room. If you have a female dog, they would need to be fixed with proof of spay. My special needs dog has no business procreating! I have a large home and a decent sized yard with a tie-out cable so that your pet can explore my whole backyard safely without fear of taking off. I also have a screened in porch that I often let the cats roam in during the nicer months. I have a Honda CR-V, so I can keep decently large dogs in the car as well for transport or in case of emergency. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will cuddle, play, exercise, and feed & water them to their hearts content. I will ask however for an extra fee to pick up any dog poo or clean litter boxes.

Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.

About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.

About: I have fostered both dogs and cats in the past. From childhood to the present day, a home is not complete without some form of animal companion. I tend to be an early riser and am very flexible. Cleaning up after myself as well as your pets is my specialty. I enjoy camping and antiquing when there’s no critters to hang out with. I am familiar with many types of leash and collar. I prefer to keep a dog heeled on most of the walk, letting them run and play when it’s appropriate to do so. If you have a preferred method of control I’m happy to accommodate. I’m comfortable giving meds and have experience with all kinds of feeding. When sitting, I’d love to water your plants and get the mail-any little extras that you need. I often take my dad shopping or to doctor’s appointments, and set my own schedule with my other jobs. How long your pets can be left alone (if at all) is up to you! I’m great at following orders, especially written instructions; please tell me how you usually handle your pets so I can keep it consistent for them! I like to go for walks, and like it even more if I have company. I also always enjoy a good snuggle.

About: I bring comprehensive animal care experience enriched by formal education in veterinary technology, combining hands-on caregiving with a strong foundation in animal health and medical knowledge. Over several years, I have provided attentive and compassionate care to a diverse range of animals including dogs, cats, small mammals, and birds. My kid's dad and me are responsible animal lovers. Our family always has someone at home loving and caring for our dog and two cats. Our home has plenty of love to go around! I have a big backyard for our dog to play. He is fed in the morning and evening and let out as often as he wants. Our cats are indoor cats that are well taken care with a litter box cleaned twice a day.

About: I have had animals my entire life. As a child we had cats, and dogs. I helped care for my neighbors hobby farm when they were away. As an adult with my own children we have had a dog, who sadly passed away 3 years ago. He was my eldest pet. He purchased a bunny to appease his love for animals, but it has not filled that hole that is dog left. I have 3 kids, 13, 9 and 6. They all love animals. We help care for friends pets when they're out of town. I would love to care for your pet! And my children will give them lots of love and snuggles. I homeschool my kids. So the kids are home 6 days out of the week. My husband is a nurse and I am home with the kids and I will be able to give your pet lots of attention and care. I would care for your pet as if it was my very own. Lots of play, snuggles and exercise...and Love! I would be home most of the time to care for every need of your pet.

About: I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm dependable, attentive, and communicate openly with owners, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it's extra playtime, careful attention to health needs, or simply being a calming presence, I go above and beyond to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine I plan my days around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Their well-being is always a top priority in my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I stick closely to their usual routines, offer plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks, and make sure they have a cozy space to rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets in a familiar, low-stress environment. I focus on maintaining their normal schedule, giving them lots of love and engagement, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages.

Ana and her family were absolutely amazing! It’s clear that they truly understand how important our dogs are to us. Ana’s communication was unparalleled. She sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while Oreo was with them. Oreo loved playing with their sweet pup Bailey in their securely fenced yard and soaking up all the loving pets from the whole family. It was obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat their visitors like part of the family. I also really appreciated the chance to do a meet and greet ahead of time so Oreo and Bailey could meet and make sure they were a good play match. I would feel completely comfortable having Oreo stay with them again anytime, and I know he would be thrilled to go back. I won’t hesitate to reach out next time he needs some playtime and extra snuggles!

Kristen and her family welcomed Oreo as if he was their own dog. I felt confident that he was getting all the attention he needed. He got some love and exercise and a much welcomed break from his new little fur brother for the day. He is a fast eater, so still eats a lunch and that wasn't an issue at all for them. I know he would be happy to go back for a visit and some playtime with the kids anytime. Thanks for taking such great care of our big boy!

About: I've taken care of all types of pets from a very young age. Whether it be a tiny chihuahua to a sizeable Bullmastiff, a cat, birds including chickens, reptiles, fish, even small furry friends like rabbits or ferrets. I have adored and been fascinated by animals my whole life and am up for any challenge you throw at me. I've personally trained my dog to follow voiceless hand signal commands and he is also special needs, so caring for a senior or special needs animal is a breeze for me! I've even provided end of life care for my grandmother's cat, which included administering fluids via injection, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Not to mention that I have experience raising young kittens and squirrels at milk drinking ages! I am available from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and overnights on Fridays and Saturdays. I could possibly do extended overnight stays in my own home if your pet is dog, cat, and young child friendly. Whether it be for a walk, potty break, comfort while you're away, socializing and training your puppy basic commands (and maybe a few tricks), or even just taking your furry friend out for a pup cup and to a sniff spot, I'm the gal for you. I will even provide litter or doggy doo doo cleanup for an additional price. Your pet will always be safe and loved in my hands. I am currently in between jobs, and my kiddos go to daycare from 7am-5pm M-F, so I am available to help between those times, or overnights at your house on Fridays and Saturdays. I could be purr-suaded to do extended overnight stays at my house if your feline is cat, dog, and young child friendly. If I am caring in my home, I have 3 cats-all fixed- a special needs male dog who is NOT fixed due to medical reasons, and two kids under the age of 5. If you choose to keep your pet at my home, they need to be able to get along with them or be kept in a separate room. If you have a female dog, they would need to be fixed with proof of spay. My special needs dog has no business procreating! I have a large home and a decent sized yard with a tie-out cable so that your pet can explore my whole backyard safely without fear of taking off. I also have a screened in porch that I often let the cats roam in during the nicer months. I have a Honda CR-V, so I can keep decently large dogs in the car as well for transport or in case of emergency. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will cuddle, play, exercise, and feed & water them to their hearts content. I will ask however for an extra fee to pick up any dog poo or clean litter boxes.

I mainly work a couple evenings during the week and occasional weekends. I have a good sized yard with a pond for bathroom and play. My yard does not have a fence but my dog enjoys being outside on a long leash and roaming around our yard. My dog has a very large crate fit for 2 dogs and I also have another separate (1 dog) crate.

They are trained by the humane society and are well equipped to handle pets in different situations.

About: When it comes to animals, I love them all. I have extensive experience working with animals especially at a non profit no kill rescue that is unique giving everyone a chance no matter if they need high amounts of medical care. With that background, I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs with medical needs, of all ages. I am most comfortable with small and medium dogs that are easy going and like going for walks! I work remote from home and have flexibility to adjust as needed for weekdays and weekends. I do need advance planning for anything more than a drop in. It's deeply personal to come into someone's home and care for their fur baby, I understand completely! Part of the planning process involves asking questions about your needs, preferences, expectations so we are in the same page!

About: Since I was a little girl, I've always held a love and care for animals. I cared for all, big and small. Always cared for critters growing up and started pet sitting when I was in Middle school. Over the years I have had experience with many types of animals and caring for many as pets, fosters, and pet sitting. I have cared for puppies, elderly pets that require medical care. I have fostered over 100 animals and pet sit for just as many. I have worked in a dog boarding establishment, and a pet store caring for reptiles, amphibians, and various small animals, and currently work on a farm part time caring for horses, cats, dogs, chickens. I have had dogs, cats, chinchillas, rabbits, sugar gliders, rabbits, tortoises, frogs, hedgehogs, hamsters, fish, shrimp, crayfish, birds, etc. in my care and am happy to provide excellent and quality care for any type of animal you need care for. I have 2 responsible older kids who love animals and we have a houseful of love and animals. We would love to spend time with your precious pets and I have the love, time, and resources to meet all their needs and adjust to their schedule. We believe in slow, positive intros, and a safe and happy environnent. I always keep dogs in my care in our new fenced yard or on a leash. Fence has technology to notify me if a gate has opened. I supervise during play time and separate animals during food times. Make sure they have everything they need, including medications, or extra cuddles, walks, etc. Work with animals using positive reinforcement and praise.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life! I treat my cats like they are my children and I would do anything for them! I would take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I also love dogs, I've had many dogs in my family growing up. I don't have the living space needed for a dog while living in an apartment. I would definitely have one if I were able! That's a big reason why you should let me pet sit for you! My availability is pretty open right now. I want to do a little something on the side besides other projects that I'm working on. They say that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life! Pets definitely make me the happiest!! I like to keep the living space clean and sanitized, I clean litter boxes every day. I pick up poop while on dog walks. Also, while dog walking, if there's another dog near and the you're dog seems uncomfortable or threatened, I would move to the other side of the street or walk the other way to remove ourselves from the situation. Most animals, if not all, trust and love me back!

About: I have never not had a pet in my life. Since I was born, my family has had two dogs no matter what. We have had the two same dogs for the past 10 years now and I have learned to take care of them whether that be bathing them, feeding them, taking them on walks, or giving them love. I can’t imagine my life without dogs and I love every single one I see! I am currently training as a professional hockey player so I have plenty of time to walk dogs. I love going on walks and am willing to take your dogs on walks anytime mid day to afternoon. There might be days where I have hockey practice in the afternoon, but I would communicate with my client to figure out a solution. I have walked my two dogs every single day for the past two summers and know many different areas to walk dogs that they love. My car is dog friendly if I were to take your pet to a fun new walking spot and I love to discover new trails.

About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Anna — lifelong animal lover, certified cat-obsessed, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the sidewalk. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I lost my soul kitty, Aida, who taught me so much about love, patience, and tuning into an animal’s emotions. Because of her, I show up for every pet with extra gentleness, attention, and respect. I know how important it is to feel like your pet is safe, understood, and happy while you're away. I’m calm, reliable, and easygoing — but also fun, playful, and fully committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet is social, shy, quirky, energetic, or a little stubborn, I meet them exactly where they are. 🐶🐱 My Pet Care Approach ✨ All animals welcome — cats, dogs, seniors, shy pets, and everything in between. ✨ I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. ✨ I’m patient with anxious or nervous animals. ✨ I give lots of updates so you never wonder how things are going. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets — so I make it easy by treating them like my own. 💬 What Services I Offer -Drop-In Visits Perfect for feeding, litter scooping, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. I’m great with shy cats. 💖 Why Choose Me? • Calm, patient energy animals naturally relax around • Experienced with cats of all ages • Big heart for pets with quirks, anxiety, or special routines • Reliable, communicative, and never rushes through visits • A little extra love in honor of Aida, my heart kitty Since I work from home, it’s easy for me to step out for drop-ins or walks throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning, mid-day, or evening visits. Pet care blends smoothly into my week and gives me something grounding and joyful to look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine you already have in place. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications as needed. I also pay close attention to your pet’s mood and body language so I can adjust my approach — some pets want play, some want cuddles, and some prefer calm company. For house sits (no overnights), I make sure pets feel comfortable in their space, stick to their schedule, keep things tidy, and give frequent photo updates so you always know they’re doing well.

I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!

This was a fabulous experience and we will definitely use Andrea again. We got regular reports and pictures. Our dog had a lot of fun being part of their “pack” and I felt very comfortable with Andrea’s ability to handle any inter-dog issues that might come up. Our dog has some dietary issues and these were easily and effectively managed. Overall I was satisfied and impressed.

This was our first experience with a Rover home and we know Tess would certainly love to return for another stay with Kristen and her family!

I feel so lucky to have found Laura to care for Willie for six nights while I brought my kids to college out of state! Willie may be little, but he’s a big spoiled baby. Laura and her family gave him just what he needed: lots of love, snuggles, walks, play, and nap time! I lived for her daily texts and photos which assured me that I had made the right choice to have him at Laura’s. No question, this will not be the first time that Willie stays at Laura’s when I have to go out of town.

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!

Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!
