“We had a great experience with Elizabeth! Our dog seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up, and it was clear that he was very well cared for. Elizabeth was also very communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”

“Ben & Jennifer were both awesome! They sent a ton of pictures while they had my dog and made sure he felt comfortable. They went above and beyond to accommodate a last minute sitter need - I can’t recommend them enough!”

“Jennifer is fantastic! Our Inka instantly felt comfortable and made herself at home. Jennifer also sent updates and pictures. I give her my highest recommendation and look forward to Inka’s next visit.”

“Drew was awesome. Communicated thoroughly and took time to send pictures of my dog. He was flexible with both drop off and pick up, which was a huge lifesaver due to change in travel plans (out of my control). I am super grateful- my dog came home clean, happy and healthy. Highly recommend!”


“Michelle was fantastic with Juniper. Juniper is a super nervous dog and Michelle was very patient with her. Gave me plenty of updates knowing how nervous I was. Will definitely book with her in the future!”

“Toni was amazing. We are so thankful for the cozy environment and personal care she provided for our sweet Dyno. He had a great stay there and we were able to have a worry free holiday. Thanks so much for, Toni!!”

“Erin, Brandon and family were amazing. Our mini-golden doodle was well cared for and received lots of love and snuggles from the kids. Communication was great with pictures and updates throughout his stay. Would highly recommend this sweet family.”

“Our senior spaniel did great spending a long weekend at Holly's house. It was the first time was have done in-house boarding. We definitely prefer having our pup stay with Holly then in a traditional kennel.”

“Ruby had a great time with this sweet family. Kyle was very responsive and sent lots of pictures for us to see while we were away. She came home seeming to have good energy, which tells me she was happy there. Thanks for caring for our fur baby! Hope we meet again!”

“Linda took great care of our Jazzy, who is a bit spoiled (sleeps in bed, goes out during night, needs to be with humans at all times). Linda sent pictures and videos and an update text every day. Will definitely ask Linda to take care of Jazzy again!”

“Holly and Jeremy were a perfect family to give our dog Gooseberry a safe and happy stay! We loved the photo updates and could tell he had a great time. Holly was super communicative and flexible with our schedule.”


“Dondee is AMAZING! You can tell from the second you meet her she loves animals. She sent us many pictures throughout their stay and really wants to make sure your pups feel at home. Our pups were so tried after their stay they napped almost the whole next day. We will definitely lol with her again. She is the best sitter we have found on Rover!”

“Shambi had a great stay with Kelle and Ivy. Kelle is very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. I appreciated her updates and getting Shambi a little gift since she was staying for Christmas. ☺️ Will definitely use to board again!”


“We are beyond happy with Stevie’s stay. It felt like we were leaving her with family, not just boarding her at a strangers house. She was spoiled and loved on and it showed through the pictures that we got while away!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of karma. When ask how my dog was doing Victoria sent pictures also I was running late and she was understanding. Karma came home happy and tried so that's how I know she had fun.”

About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.

About: I have loved cats for my entire life! I have a weak spot for siamese cats especially! I had a diabetic cat as a teenager! I foster cats from time to time and I help feed the strays and keep them dewormed! I try to domesticate kittens a couple of times a year so during those times I won't be taking cats for rover but I will keep my page up to date!

About: I’ve always loved all animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs! Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication if needed, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away!

“This was Chance’s first time at daycare/boarding. He seemed to have a wonderful time. Ben and Jennifer kept in touch and sent videos. They were easy to talk with. Chance came home and slept all night.”

About: I require any visiting pets to be vaccinated and on flea preventitive! I have trained many kinds of dogs for many different things! I have a service dog that I trained Bella! I also have a cat that is trained to sit, spin, and jump! I have experience with diabetic animals and with most animals in general! I am educated on animal CPR and heimlich. I'm happiest when I'm spending time with 6 dogs at a time lol it's so much fun! I don't have space to take more than one large dog or 2 small dogs at a time but someday I will! I am working on getting fencing for my yard! I only let 1 dog out at a time. I follow owners feeding schedule. I chart every feeding, drink of water that i see, and every potty break. I send updates daily and am well educated on how to calm an anxious dog!

“Michelle was great! She helped me out with a last minute request. Arlo had a great time staying at her place. I would definitely recommend boarding with her! Thank you so much Michelle :)”


About: I am set apart from the other sitters because I have knowledge and experience in the medical field. I was a Vet Tech and have my degree before I became pregnant. I have cared for senior dogs and have a 20 year old Chihuahua. I’ve loved animals since forever. I have a deep passion for helping animals. Your dog will be treated like family while you are away. I provide a safe, comfortable , and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing you pup is happy and cared for. I have a Vet Tech degree but I currently just had my first baby 9 months ago so I am at home watching her, but I would love to get back to caring for animals. I believe I was put on this Earth to nurture and care for animals. One of my favorite things to do is train dogs. I get so many complements on how well my dogs act. I would love to help anyone struggling with behavioral issues. I know how stressful boarding can be. That is why I want to make it as stress free as possible. Our dogs have their own area in the basement so they will never come into contact with your pups and we take walks daily. I also have worked in Vet clinics and know how to give medications and first aid care if needed. I take my boarding very seriously and am committed to making your dog feel the most at home. I finished schooling to become a Vet Technician and than became pregnant. So currently I am at home with my 9 month old. I am eager to get back to caring for animals but also would like to spend time taking care of my daughter as well! I have four dogs and three cats. Our dogs do really well with other dogs but our German Sheperd can be a bit shy at first because he was attacked as a puppy. I know how stressful it can be housing your dogs with other dogs, so to easy your mind I have turned our basement into a dog only zone with toys/kennels/treats where our dogs will stay when I am boarding other peoples dogs, So that they never have to intact with each other. They will be let out separately as well. We don’t have a fenced in yard but we have a decent sized yard and your dogs will be leashes outside at all times.

About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.
About: I have three cats and I promise to love your cats, dogs, and other pets like my own. I have a lot of experience walking dogs and doing sittings. I have cared for cats and dogs both personally and professionally. You can expect me to treat your pet(s) just as I treat mine, with just as much love and affection. I will make sure they had a long enough walk and follow any specific instructions I am given as I care for your pets. Not only will I walk your dogs but I will do anything additional you need me to before I leave for the day. You can expect nothing less than love to be given. It will be a pleasure walking and caring for your pets! I am currently a stay at home Mom so my availability is very flexible. I am able to do drop in visits and dog walks right now during any time of the day. I offer drop ins and dog walking right now. I make sure that all of the pets needs are taken care of before I leave. I will love your pets like my own and give them plenty of exercise/love.
“Marissa had our dog over for daycare and he had such a great time playing with her dog. He was happy and tired when he got home. Marissa was great with providing updates and photos frequently and she was very quick to respond to texts. Overall, she's a great sitter and we will definitely be contacting her again for more doggy daycare in the future.”

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣

“We had a great experience with Janny and Tramyra! They are incredibly knowledgeable, laid back and patient. They watched our two dogs for over a week, took them on several walks and gave them lots of play time with other furry friends. One of our dogs has battled severe anxiety in the past when we’ve left her and also displayed nervousness around other dogs. Not only did she feel at home with Janny and Tramyra, but she felt comfortable enough to interact with and play with other dogs. Our dog who is on a weight loss journey even lost weight during his stay! They sent daily updates and lots of pictures to give us peace of mind. This was our first experience using Rover and it left a really good impression!”
