About: Hello! I’m a dog lover and behavior-focused pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to spend their time being themselves, feeling comfortable, and having fun! 🐶 3+ years of professional experience working with dogs in daycare & boarding settings 🏡 Experienced with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. 🐾 I have dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog is an individual and should be treated like family 🧠 Currently studying dog behavior and training and always learning more 👀 Strong understanding of canine body language and behavior, including recognizing signs of stress, discomfort, excitement, and relaxation 💕 I let your dog lead the way — whether they want to play, sniff, explore, cuddle, relax, or simply have some quiet time 🌿 I believe dogs should have choices whenever safely possible rather than being pushed into activities they aren’t comfortable with 🚫 Fear, pain, and intimidation have no place in my care. I use gentle, positive, and respectful handling with every pet My goal is simple: your dog gets to have a staycation that feels like it was made just for them. 🐾 I’m an online student and a freelancer, so I make my own schedule and I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friend! No need to worry about any schedule restrictions. Safety & well-being always come first — I closely monitor your dog, make sure their physical and emotional needs are met, and give them choices while keeping their safety a priority. I follow any and all instructions to a T and will always keep a close eye on your fur baby.

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a 6+ years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away, depending on what your pet requires.

“Highly recommend Matt, He works with you on times of pick up and drop off, My dog was all tuckered out when I came to pick him up. I look forward to bringing my dog there again.”
“I can’t express how pleased I am with Kevin’s stay with Sydney. I was incredibly nervous to leave my dog for the first time but I was quickly relieved by how responsive, trustworthy, and kind Sydney is! My dog had a wonderful time playing all day:)!”
About: With 15+ years in the pet care industry, my experience from working at boarding faculties, doggy daycares, and pet hospitals has prepared me for taking care of your pets! 🐾 Incorporating pet care seamlessly into my day is second nature. It's all about blending routines. Having dedicated bonding time and play sessions make everyday enjoyable! Creating a safe and trusting environment is my top priority. I implement many safety measures, from secure play areas to health checks, to keep everyone safe & healthy. Your pet's comfort and well-being is extremely important to me!
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a 4 year old Black Lab named Bear, and before him I had Coco, a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix who was part of my family for 7 wonderful years (adopted at 8 and had her until the Rainbow Bridge). Caring for dogs through every stage of life has given me experience with everything from energetic young dogs to senior pets with changing needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and neighbors while they’ve been away on vacation, providing dependable care, exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and well cared for when you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with good company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and giving my own dog the attention he needs, so adding another furry friend is something I truly enjoy. Because I’m home for most of the day, pets won’t be left alone for long periods and can receive plenty of attention, companionship, and bathroom breaks. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are a regular part of my routine. Whether your pet needs lots of play or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I’m happy to match their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly 4-year-old Black Lab, Bear, who has a gentle temperament and no history of aggression. He enjoys meeting other dogs and has always done well with them, but I’ll always prioritize slow, safe introductions based on each dog’s comfort level. I also have two children who have grown up around animals and understand that pets deserve respect, space, and gentle interactions. They know not to disturb dogs while they’re eating, sleeping, or if they want time to themselves. Any interactions with your pet will always be supervised. I believe every pet is unique, so I’ll follow your instructions closely to help maintain their normal routine and make them feel safe and at home. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own.
About: Since day one, I have always had a dog in my life. A cat in my adult years and a few other critters throughout the years. They are all family! All my dogs have always been a big part of my life and I care for them deeply. Family/Friends have trusted me to care for their pets when needed. I am always happy to lend a helping hand, or a lap to cuddle on, an arm to throw a ball, or even lacing up those tennis shoes for a walk. I currently have a “teenager” (6 year American Staffordshire Terrier… major cuddles, playful, very sensitive stomach) and recently our senior Luna past over the rainbow bridge. I am patient and have energy for any requirement you may need while your babies are in my care. Working from home, I am quite flexible most days. I am an early riser and stay up late. So feedings, playtime, bathroom breaks, etc is not an issue for me. We have 5 acres of unfenced land to run around in. I also have a very large fenced Garden the dogs are allowed to roam in for off leash fun, as well as a sizeable wrap around deck to chill on and soak up the sun. We are outdoor people, so are our dog(s), so if it’s nice, you will find us out and about. With our training they do well to stay within our property and listen well if running around the yard. Communicate if your dog(s) need to be leashed (also have a leash line setup between trees to enjoy the outdoors as well). I would hope in any environment that your pets are trained and do well in the space provided or within, please communicate any special concerns, etc. I do have experience with “shock” collars for more so the ‘tone’ button, as we have wildlife and woods surrounding our house, we use this to protect our dogs from our surroundings periodically throughout the year. So I am comfortable using this method to ensure your pups stay safe.
“Awesome experience all the way around. Our two pups had a great stay and Heather's pup Aggie was the perfect co-host. Great fenced backyard for the pups to explore and play. We'll be back!”
About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. My love for animals started when I was young, walking dogs for neighbors and friends, and it quickly grew into a lifelong passion. As I got older, I volunteered at my local humane society and have continued providing trusted pet care for pets ever since. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who may show aggressive behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for every dog in my care. In addition, I have experience with housebreaking as well as basic obedience training, and I’m happy to help reinforce routines and good habits during your pet’s stay. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of animals!
About: I have grown up with dogs and many other pets since birth. We used to raise dogs, now we have two medium sized dogs. I love animals and I hope to have a career where I can continue that passion. Just graduated from high school May 2025, and I have a schedule allowing me to be able to continue caring for animals and to continue this passion of mine! I have two medium family dogs and they are very important, special members of the family. I treat every single pet with care and respect.
“not sure what to say....we are so confident and comfortable with Sara, not to mention how comfortable Shiloh is!! We know Shiloh gets along well with her pups and he so enjoys playing. We get pictures which we love and just knowing he is so well cared for is a wonderful feeling......Sara is FABULOUS!!”
“Karlee has done an amazing job taking care of Thor! When I drop him off he gets excited to see her everytime and I know he's in good hands! Karlee is very good at giving updates and sending pictures during his daycare! I highly recommend Karlee's daycare service it is easily worth what you pay! Thanks Karlee!”
“Thomas took great care of our pup. He was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Our schedule was unpredictable, so we appreciated how flexible he was when we adjusted times. Simone clearly had a fun day, cause she conked out when we got home. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Avid animal lovers, both fur and feathered alike! We are a family of four humans- mom and three children, with several outdoor feathered friends. We are an active household that enjoys many days outside, but also equally loves cuddling up on the couch for a movie night. At night, your pet is welcome to sleep wherever they find it most comfortable. We have had personal pet ownership experience with blindness, deafness, and separation anxiety in dogs. In addition to our own pets, we have also opened our home to foster dogs for several years, specializing and dog reactive dogs, as well as hospice/end of life care. My career consists of over a decade of hospital-based pharmacy experience, and I am now fortunate to currently work from home. With my career and volunteer dog hospice foster experience, I am comfortable and knowledgeable in administering any oral, subcutaneous, and IM medications. - We provide care to one outside family at a time to ensure a stress-free experience for everyone. I do allow exemptions for multifamily households. - Your pet will have an adult with them for at least 20/24 hours per day. Most updates are sent with morning breakfast, midafternoon rest, and before bedtime. You are also encouraged and welcome to reach out anytime outside of that. - If your pet does require a crate at any point, please ensure one accompanies them to drop off. We are a home-based boarding experience and do not have commercial kennel runs. - If your pet has been excused/banned from a commercial boarding facility, I do require a no-cost meet and greet for introductions before confirming the booking. It is my priority to ensure your pet feels safe, and I am confident in their needs before confirming commitment. - Privately insured for household companionship pets, which covers both care during boarding and any agreed-upon transportation. Keywords: home-based, medical needs, special needs, reactive, medication administration. I am generally available to accept same-day bookings as someone who works from home. At this time, my employer allows me to set my own hours, meaning I can easily adapt to your pet's schedule and any medical needs. Bathroom breaks are averaged at every two hours and anytime outside of this at your pup's request. If your pet prefers to spend afternoons in the sun, then that is where I am happy to work that day! Any pets boarded in our home can expect to have a human home a minimum of 20 out of the 24 hours in a day. We welcome your pets to rest and sleep wherever they are most comfortable- couch, pet bed, human bed, etc. If you request or your pet requires kenneling at any time, please ensure a kennel accompanies them to drop off. Our home is carpet-free (stress-free!), and we understand accidents happen. Please inform me if your pet is working on potty training, and we can reduce the number of rooms initially accessible. Our acreage is unfenced, and dogs have access to the backyard of the property. If your dog is not off-leash trained, we provide a pulley tie-out to allow them a greater range of access. If you are most comfortable with leash walking, that is also just fine with us!

About: Hello, I grew up on a farm and have lived with animals all of my life. I have cared for kittens, puppies, goats, cattle and chickens.

I am off each Friday and am available most weekends. My significant other, Brandon, is my partner in this and he work from home all week. Your pet would have his company and care while I work in office! We live in a spacious, two bedroom apartment. There are sidewalks and a paved walking path near our apartment that we frequent. We are also discovering local parks! Our complex offers a fenced dog park. I feel exercise is highly importantly for furry friends. Our apartment is clean and quiet. We give dog treats to Rylee (our dog) often. Our pets receive lots of love and yours can expect this too! We have two cats in our apartment too - Maggie and Frankie. Frankie loves dogs with her whole heart and Maggie typically keeps her distance while we pet sit.

Our home has a fenced in yard and is away from neighbors. We are ready to accommodate to your needs!
“Apollo had a great time staying with Sara. He came home tired and happy. Communication was good, and I appreciated the videos that were shared. Facilities are beautiful and clean, and the fenced in area keeps pets safe. Highly recommend.”
“We had a great experience! Our pup got a lot of snuggles and plenty of activity. Jill sent daily updates so we could see our pup often when we were missing her. This was a great home away from home for our girl.”
“Our Gus came home happy and well cared for. We got lots of updates on him which we really enjoyed. Gus came home with an excellent “report card” from Renee, which was a super cute touch. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby 😊”
“Natalie was extremely responsive, took exceptional care of our dog, gave him lots of love, and gave us regular updates. Thank you so much! We will definitely reach out again when we need help!”
“Our dog Miles was welcomed into their home immediately. He was loved and well cared for. Thomas was an excellent communicator and was committed to providing top notch service. We will definitely take Miles back!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with dogs, I quickly became in tune with their needs and can form a bond quickly! I go above and beyond to make every dog I meet feel loved and welcomed. I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses. I’m currently home with my little boy for the summer so my availability is virtually wide open! I’ll be able to provide walks, pets, and so much more. I have an outdoor kennel with a nice house in it if needed. Otherwise, I can provide a crate inside in a calm environment. My 2 dogs are around to play with your dog as well! If you’re worried about my dogs and your dog getting along, I can separate them-no problem.
“Karlee was so patient with my nervous kitty! It was such a relief knowing he was somewhere safe, even if nervous. She gave him the affection/ pets he loves at his level of comfort. He got to be a bit spicy at the end of his visit, but that had nothing to do with her care. Thank you so much for watching him! The daily updates were so reassuring for me!”
“Jennifer was a wonderful pet sitter. So wonderful in fact, that my dog Ms. Millie didn't recognize me when I came to pick her up! I will absolutely be asking Jennifer to watch Millie again! Book with confidence! Thank you so much Jennifer!”
“Heather was great! Her resident dog was also a great companion for my pup. Same age and demeanor, very chill. Great fenced in yard. Sent me updates and even took Daisy my dog for a walk at the quarries. Communication was perfect. I would definitely use Heather's services again.”
