“Taylor always takes the best care of our doggo! She's great with timeliness and communication. She's also wonderful with her updates/pictures during longer stays.”
“Nathan is great & we're so glad we found him just before Thanksgiving to board our sweet Nola. He sent daily pics so we could see how she was doing and, when we returned, we picked up a very happy girl. If you're looking for a place to board your fur baby, this is it!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
“Yuki, my Frenchie, played hard with Ashley’s dog and other big dogs. He loved pool time and determined he would sleep in Ashley’s bed. He had such a good time that I don’t think he wants to come home! I rebooked with Ashley a couple weeks from now. She sent me pictures several times. I highly recommend her!”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“Noreen & family work very hard to make my dog comfortable when he stays there. Though he is always nervous when I leave him the pictures she sends assure me that he settles down and is comfortable. Always gets walks even though they also have fenced yard.”
“This was our first time leaving Marley. Prior to leaving our girl, Laurie made sure she knew everything about her. Laurie went above and beyond to make sure she was comforted during her visit. We were provided daily updates and pictures. All communication was promptly responded to. Laurie is fantastic!! We have already booked her for another visit later in the summer!”
“I've used Rover multiple times and everyone has been good, but Sarah is seriously THE BEST!!! She's so attentive because she's also a dog mom, and our dogs (1 elderly and a 2 yr old) both had the best doggy vacation ever! She's got the best setup and they got plenty of play time, and rest. I'd definitely recommend her, and we will use her again for sure!”
“Angelica was great to work with. We had a pre-meeting at her home to introduce my dog to her pets. She made sure her pets were secure when we arrived for drop off and gave my dog time to settle in. She sent regular updates and pics. She even sent us home with a clean dog pen. Will definitely use Angelica again and recommend her highly!”
“Briah did a great job with my dog. She took him on many walks, showered him with love and kept me updated with pictures and messages. My dog looked happy and well taken care of when I picked him up, and now every time we walk by Briah’s place he wants to go in. It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.”
“Our dog, Biscuit had a wonderful time with Madilynn! From the start of our booking, Madilynn responded quickly with questions I had. She was very flexible on when I dropped Biscuit off in the morning, and she let Biscuit feel like he was at home, even letting him sleep with her! She sent me updates on how he was doing. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dog and being out in the backyard running around on a nice day while she did some yard work. He was so tired when he got home, not because of separation anxiety which I worry about, but instead because he had so much fun! When you have to leave your dog behind, Its so comforting when it feels like they are getting their own little vacation at a new place and meeting new friends! I highly recommend Madilynn for your dog's stay!”
“Sharon and Glen provided a nice meet and greet, which was reassuring and permitted my dog to meet their dogs. I needed a long stay and they were able to accommodate at a reasonable price. They sent pictures to update me during our vacation. My dog seemed happy with the arrangement as well! Thank you for a great experience!”
“Misti provided good updates with cute pictures of my dog! She is a senior dog who needs lots of medications but I felt comfortable leaving her in Misti’s care. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Kirsten was great and treated my dog like her own during her stay with her family! She provided frequent updates and was so caring. My dog came home happy, clean and tired from playing with her two doodles all week!”
“Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
“Susan did such a wonderful job with my dog, Remy! Remy can be a little shy/nervous, but Susan and her family provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home, and I feel absolutely comfortable leaving Remy with them! She sent pics while I was away at training of their walks and snuggle time and provided updates for his interactions with everyone else in the house. She is great and we look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Coney was fantastic and so easy to work with! This was our first time leaving our dog with a Rover sitter, and we were super nervous, but Coney made the experience stress-free. She was great at communicating, sent us daily photos, and made sure our pup was well cared for. We truly appreciated her updates and the peace of mind she provided. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Theresa is so communicative and thorough! I felt at ease having her care for our “senior” cat. He’s a bit high maintenance but Theresa was up for the task, being so understanding, patient and kind.”
“Kyle was great. Ella is an insulin dependent diabetic and he reliably made visits to time her dosing appropriately. He was also available on short notice which really helped me out. Many thanks Kyle!”
“Taylor always sits for us. She’s very committed, communicates, and is cleanly. She’s professional and we are relieved to have found someone so great to watch our animals while we are away. We have bunny and some birds”
“Megan did a great job looking after our cats! She was patient with our more shy cat and made friends with our more outgoing cat. She left great notes and pictures during the visits.”
“Laurie is always great to work with! I love the videos and pictures she sends me and all of the updates she gives. I love my cats so much and I know they are in good hands when she cares for them.”
“Misti took care of my two cats twice a day for two weeks. She did everything I asked and sent extra notes and pics at each visit. She is a great communicator! Misti even got my shy cat, Paris, into a great routine early on and was able to pet her by the end of the two weeks. I called Misti the cat whisperer for her ability to win Paris over. The house was perfect and cats were happy when we returned home. I will definitely call upon Misti for pet care in the future!”
“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”
“Emma is great. She got my shy cat to warm up to her immediately. It's clear she has a way with animals and is great with communication. Her care really set my mind at ease while I was away!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job with my kitties! They both came out for her. She spent lots of quality time with them. My home looked and smelled clean when we got home from vacation, which never happens. She refilled my auto feeder when it got low and kept on top of the wet food and water refills. She even ran the vacuum and swept up litter kicked out of the box by my crazy young one. 10/10 recommend!”
“Amanda was so great with our 2 cats. She gave us great updates each time she visited and sent us tons of photos which we love getting while we’re away! We’ll definitely be booking Amanda again!”
“Jessica was great! She was very respectful of my home and made sure Spot got the kind of food she wanted. She brings a lot of experience and knowledge when she comes to take care of your pet!”
“Paola was wonderful to my babies and always made the extra effort. She was on time and spent the entire hour with my babies and I truly appreciate that. She sent me photos, I missed them so much its my first time away from my kitten the pictures were so appreciated. Thanks so much Paola and if I go out of town again im going to be hoping to have you watch them! 🫶🏼”
“I really appreciated Evelyn's flexibility with this booking. The nature of this trip meant that my exact return time was a moving target, and Evie was communicative, adaptive, and helpful in making sure there was no interruption in Pippa's care, which was a huge aid to me in a time of stress.”
“Thank you Keesha for doing all you could to keep my kitty stress free while we were gone. And for all the updates which kept me stress free ?.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)
“Jackson took great care of my two cats while I was away. He sent me daily updates on how the cats were doing and made sure to take time to play with them. I'm happy to have found someone like Jackson whom I can trust to take care of my cats again in the future! I highly recommend booking Jackson for your pet needs.”

“Max had a good time at Brent’s house. It was his first time there and he seemed to really connect! Brent sent pictures throughout the day and Max had a good time. Will definitely take him there again!”
“James was amazing with Nikko, he care for him 5 days a week for 2 weeks while I was at work, he would send updates with pictures throughout the day which I appreciated. Definitely will book James again.”
“Nathan was great! Quick to respond and took our little guy for daycare on VERY short notice. No communication issues and we would definitely trust him to pet sit for us again.”
“Lauren was so wonderful to my baby Astro! He came home super tired. I don’t think he even missed me because of how much fun he had with her and her dog! Overall a great experience we will definitely be back!”
About: I’ve kept and rescued animals since a young age, which included tending to any wounds or injuries. My own pets were fosters, and most recently I fostered a lovely pittie who was then adopted. I’m very good with skittish cats, and I have a good understanding of basic dog training techniques. Lastly, I live a street away from a nice park which is good for dog walks. I love all animals, and spending time with them and caring for them is just as good for me as it is for them. I am currently self employed and jobs are few, so I have a very flexible schedule. Most, if not all my time would be dedicated to any pets in my care. I do have two of my own cats, so any dogs would have to be okay with cats in the house. All pets are different, with their own personalities, routines and likes/dislikes. Therefore, I plan to ask for detailed instructions regarding pet care. This can include things like a preference to crate the dog at night, dietary restrictions, favorite activities etc. I am detail oriented and appreciate any information or details owners can provide about their pets so that I may provide the best care possible.
“Our first experience using the Rover app and Laney were exceptional. We felt very comfortable with leaving our dog and he seemed very relaxed and at home with her! I would recommend using her again!!”
“Amanda was great, someone you could trust with your fur babies. She really made me feel comfortable leaving my pup with her, this was my first time using Rover. She sent updates and responses very quickly to my messages which I love. I would definitely use her if I am in her city again. Thanks so much!!”
“Sarah was amazing. This was our first time with a Rover and Lexi felt comfortable and apparently did well. I appreciate Sarah being patient with Lexi as she navigates our new schedule and doggy daycare.”
“Christine was incredible! We have used Rover for the last 5 years and Christine was the first person to send updates, photos, and really work with us on drop off and pick up. Our dogs came home so happy and were just so tired after a wonderful 4 days with Christine. You can tell they were loved on and had so much attention. Christine even dropped our dogs off at home because our schedule kept us from getting back into town really early. She was so wonderful and if she has availability the next time we need a Rover, Christine is my first person I will be reaching out to.”
“We were visiting KC on our way home to Texas and the heat was going to be too much for our fur baby to be dragged around the city for sight seeing, so I reached out for a last minute request to Trent and Kaylen on Rover. I felt very comfortable leaving Luke with them for the day based on their reviews, and they did not disappoint! They were fantastic with him, sending us photo and video updates, and are great communicators. What an amazing young couple in an amazing city!”
About: My mom has been a trusted Rover sitter for several years now, so I grew up around this — it’s kind of in the blood. I’ve personally owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, you name it, so I’m comfortable with just about any animal you bring my way. I have a large fenced backyard, a clean and pet-friendly home, and a very playful environment. Every stay includes treats, toys, and whatever adventures we can get into. I also have three dogs of my own — a Beagle, a Chihuahua, and a Shar-Pei — so your pet will always have company and will feel right at home within minutes. Your pet will be in good hands — I take it seriously and genuinely enjoy it. I have one of my own that’s stays in a consistent schedule and never forgotten or goes without attention (constant potty breaks included) , have all the free time in the word and have years on years of experience with all pets massive and small obedient or not, your pet will be looked after enjoy the time an my little fur baby loves to keep them company wherever they decide to adventure I have a big gated backyard plenty but enough for multiple dogs to do their own thing including my own free range to sleep jump and lay on furniture including beds and free range to the entire house and back yard,Very used to medicating if needed, crating, training, all an etc whatever special treatment they may need I’ve delt with it all and nothing to difficult to stay or keep up on if needed
“Naji and her two dogs were awesome! My puppy came home happy and exhausted from all the fun! Naji was very sweet sending me cute videos and photos throughout the day. You can tell she truly loves having your fur babies around! We already booked doggy daycare for October! Highly recommend Naji!”
About: My husband and I have experience in caring for puppies and senior dogs with medical needs. We got both of our dogs as puppies and we have experience in all types of dogs and age. We understand how to handle tense situations when it comes to introducing animals to new animals and humans. All pets are supervised during meal time to be sure feeding goes smoothly. I have slow feeding bowls as well. My husband and I both work from home. Day starts at 7 am with potty breaks. Breakfast is served around 8 am followed by a treat. I always make sure we spend at least an hour outside everyday on top of 15 min potty breaks every 3-5 hours. It’s important to dedicate some play time with the dogs. Helps us too! I have a few dog bed, a large play pen, lots of toys, and partial fence back yard. Dogs are free to roam inside and outside while being supervised. I’ll make sure your dog eye boogers and mouth are wiped. I take a lot of pictures and videos so you’ll be receiving a lot of follow up. Your dogs will be treated like my own!

“Theresa has been absolutely amazing! She is so kind and adaptable to my dog and his various levels of chaos for his twice weekly walks. She is punctual, spends an adequate amount of time with him, and always very loving. She has been the perfect addition to his routine. I get lots of photos and she lets me know how he did each time she picks him up. I am excited to continue working with her while I am still in school.”
“Jessica was great! You can tell she truly cares about building relationships with the dog as she came to our home to meet our pup before watching her solo. Communication was great and she was very respectful of our home.”

“Abigail was simply amazing with the dogs! She was very good with them, send frequent updates when she walked them, including pictures! You could see the happiness in their faces, and that they were enjoying their time with Abigail. It was a huge relief to know that they were being taken care of when I couldn't be there for them. I would recommend Abigail to anyone!”
About: I grew up around animals my whole life, Having both cats and dogs. I was always in charge of our family dog when my parents would leave town, as well as taking care of family members dogs. this is a part time gig for me, my times are somewhat flexible with enough advance. I am always unavailable until 3pm each day of the week. Will do weekends as well. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to have plenty of room to run around and go to the bathroom whenever is needed.
About: *Please make sure your profile is accurate. I cannot accommodate pets that don’t get along with other animals.** I’ve had dogs my entire life and until recently was working at a vet clinic. I love animals and look forward to being able to help you with your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available early mornings, mid-day/afternoon and late. I am open to long term or short term needs. Please make sure that your pet is dog friendly. Thanks!! ❤️ I do have a dog, Lola, who is very social and has yet to meet a dog she doesn’t want to play! I do live on the second floor so dogs will need to be able to go up and down stairs. I work remotely and can accommodate most schedules. I am able to walk early mornings, mid day and any time in the evenings as needed. I am able to walk as often as needed. Pets are treated like family and allowed on furniture as lomf as they aren’t chewers and pretty much have free range.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and love them more than people so let me put all my dog-loving energy into spoiling yours! I work in education so am off during summer break (all of June through mid-July) and available to meet your dogs needs whether it’s a puppy working on training or a senior who needs to take it slow :) I work full time in education so have long break availability (winter and summer break). During the school year, I am mostly only available on weekends but can be flexible with some evenings during the week. Just let me know what you need! I will be respectful of your space when in your home. I can come in and out or sit and stay awhile to keep your pup company.
“Kyle has been great! He has great energy and our pups love him. He has great communication. He's punctual, he's flexible, and he has pockets full of treats. He has even been working with our baby to stop her from pulling on walks. I am so happy to have found him.”
About: Love training, exercising, and playing with pets. I’ve had the responsibility of caring for all types of pets since a young girl. I’m definitely an animal lover. I’m retired but have a part-time job. I’m available 7 days a week unless I’m booked or out of town. I would love to care for your fur baby/babies. I will care for your pet/pets like they’re my own. I’ve always loved animals ever since I was a kid. Pets are very good company and they can relax your mind and soul.
About: I have loved and owned animals as long as I can remember. I was raised with dogs, and other small animals! My daughter and I lost our Ollie in August 2022 at 4 years old to lung cancer and would love to care for your pet until we are ready for our next family member. I am comfortable taking care of pets of any age. I can provide food and water bowls, blankets, dog beds, stuffed toys, and I have a medium size kennel. All you need to bring is food, treats, leash/harness and any special comfort items. My daughter loves to go outside every chance she gets so they will have a lot of outside time when the weather permits. They will be allowed to roam the house as they want and are allowed on furniture – like I said- spoiled. I love to send pictures while you are gone to share their adventures while they are here. I work from home so I will be around a majority of the time to play and take care of your family member while they are here. I have a fenced in yard – it is a short fence so fence jumpers are probably not the best fit for me. We can crate them when we are gone if needed and will do our best to stick to their regular routine.
About: From a young age, I have always loved animals, especially dogs. Growing up, I was responsible for caring for our family dogs, and I also helped my grandparents with their farm dogs (who could get a little crazy! Trust me, I do not shy away when a furry friend is excited to see me!). In college, I adopted my own dog, Blue. She required a lot of energy and attention from the start, which helped me develop many of the skills I use today. Whether your pup is energetic, curious, anxious, or somewhere in between, I am confident I can provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. I understand how much we love our four-legged family members, which is why I always make them a top priority while you’re away on vacation, at work, or running errands. I enjoy sending photos, video updates, and check-ins to ensure clear and consistent communication. Reach out if you are looking for a sitter or would like to learn more about my experience! I work full-time in marketing, but my job offers a flexible schedule. Whether I need to work remotely for a week or step away mid-day, I can make it happen without any trouble. I also rarely have back-to-back meetings, which allows me to take breaks from work and focus my attention on your pup! Unfortunately, my dog Blue isn't a great host (she’s not a fan of other dogs), so I won’t be able to care for your pet in my home. However, I am happy to travel to your home for check-ins. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing fetch or tug, treating them to a ride to get a pup cup, and of course, cuddling. I also like to meet your furry friend before the dog-sitting dates so they can become familiar with me, and so I can learn more about their routine, preferences, and what makes them happiest!
About: What sets me apart as an animal sitter is not only my deep love and compassion for animals but also my unique combination of skills and experience. I have a proven track record of successfully training puppies and providing dedicated senior care to older pets, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. My background in puppy training equips me with the patience and expertise needed to establish positive behaviors and routines early on. This not only benefits the puppy but also provides peace of mind for pet owners. Additionally, my experience in senior pet care allows me to attentively address the unique needs of older animals, including administering medication, managing mobility challenges, and providing the gentle care and attention they deserve. Beyond specialized skills, I am known for my responsible and reliable approach. Pet owners can trust that I will adhere to any specific care instructions, maintain open communication, and create a fun and engaging environment for their furry companions. My commitment to maintaining a safe and nurturing space for animals, combined with my ability to adapt to individual needs, truly sets me apart in delivering exceptional care as an animal sitter. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I've structured my commitments to ensure that every pet under my care receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. Despite having a part-time job, I have established a well-balanced schedule that revolves around the needs of the pets. In the mornings, before heading to my part-time job, I dedicate quality time to feed, exercise, and engage with the animals. I understand the importance of regular exercise and play for pets, and I make it a priority to ensure they have stimulating activities to keep them mentally and physically active. During my lunch break, I always make a point to check in on the pets, whether it's a quick walk, playtime, or simply ensuring they have fresh water and a comfortable environment. This midday break allows me to provide them with some companionship and reassurance throughout the day. Upon returning from work, I allocate a significant portion of my evening to the pets. This involves feeding, longer walks, interactive play, and any specific care needs they might have, such as grooming or medication. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and routine, and I work diligently to maintain this routine to ensure their well-being. During the weekends, my schedule is more flexible, allowing me to dedicate extended periods of time to pet care. This is when I can engage in more elaborate activities, training sessions, and outings to provide enriching experiences for the animals. Incorporating pet care into my routine requires careful planning and commitment, but it's a responsibility I take seriously and wholeheartedly. I believe that every pet deserves personalized attention and care, and I am fully dedicated to providing them with the best possible care within the framework of my daily and weekly routine. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment that meets their unique needs. The specific care approach can vary depending on the service I am offering. Caring for Pets in My Own Home: If I am providing pet care in my own home, I make sure to create a welcoming and pet-friendly space. I ensure that there are designated areas for rest, play, and meals. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are key components of my routine, so I schedule daily walks, playtime, and interactive activities to keep pets engaged and happy. Additionally, I adhere to any dietary requirements and feeding schedules provided by the pet owner, and I maintain clear communication to keep them updated on their pet's well-being. Caring for Pets in a Client's Home: When offering pet care services in a client's home, my goal is to maintain a sense of familiarity and routine for the pet. I start by discussing the pet's daily routine, preferences, and any special needs with the owner. I strive to replicate their regular environment as closely as possible, ensuring that the pet feels comfortable and at ease. This includes following feeding schedules, walking routes, and playtime activities that the pet is accustomed to. In both scenarios, safety is paramount. I take precautions to pet-proof the environment to prevent accidents or incidents. I am diligent about administering any required medications and providing the appropriate care for pets with specific medical conditions or dietary restrictions. Regular communication with pet owners is a fundamental aspect of my approach, as I believe in keeping them informed about their pet's activities, behavior, and overall well-being. Ultimately, my pet care philosophy revolves around treating each animal as an individual and tailoring my services to cater to their unique personalities, needs, and preferences. Whether in my home or at a client's residence, I am dedicated to ensuring that every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking the time to learn their little quirks, routines, and what makes them happiest. Whether your pet loves nonstop play or just wants a cozy place to relax, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the whole time you’re away. I have experience with both energetic puppies and sweet senior pets. I can help reinforce basic training for puppies—like potty habits and leash manners—and I’m patient and gentle with older pets who may need a slower pace, extra attention, or medication support. I’ll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I naturally build it into my day rather than trying to squeeze it in. I like having a flexible routine that lets me give each pet real attention instead of rushing in and out. Most days, I plan around morning and evening visits when pets are usually most active or need their routine care. That might mean feeding, fresh water, litter box cleanup, potty breaks, or just spending a little time playing or keeping them company so they don’t feel lonely. I also like checking in with owners so they feel connected and reassured while they’re away. On a weekly basis, I organize my schedule so I can be consistent and dependable for each pet I’m caring for. I make sure there’s enough space in my routine to show up on time, follow instructions closely, and give every animal the same level of care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific house rules—so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also make sure doors, gates, and any escape risks are always checked and secured before and after each visit. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially shy or anxious animals. I approach calmly, respect their boundaries, and let them come to me when they’re ready. For more energetic pets, I make sure they get safe, positive outlets for play and exercise.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own and have been caring for dogs for over 10 years. I have experience at a dog boarding/daycare facility as well as boarding in my own home. I am currently unavailable on weekends but, I can care for your fur babies during the week before and after work! Monday-Friday 6a-8a and 2:30p-9p I do walks and drop in visits. Please let me know if I can bring treats! (and any allergies) I am comfortable walking 2-3 dogs at a time if you are a multi-dog household. If boarding, I have a fenced in back yard and a dog door that I open/close as needed. I have 3 dogs to keep yours company and to play with for their stay.

“Taylor always takes the best care of our doggo! She's great with timeliness and communication. She's also wonderful with her updates/pictures during longer stays.”
“Nathan is great & we're so glad we found him just before Thanksgiving to board our sweet Nola. He sent daily pics so we could see how she was doing and, when we returned, we picked up a very happy girl. If you're looking for a place to board your fur baby, this is it!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
“Yuki, my Frenchie, played hard with Ashley’s dog and other big dogs. He loved pool time and determined he would sleep in Ashley’s bed. He had such a good time that I don’t think he wants to come home! I rebooked with Ashley a couple weeks from now. She sent me pictures several times. I highly recommend her!”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“Noreen & family work very hard to make my dog comfortable when he stays there. Though he is always nervous when I leave him the pictures she sends assure me that he settles down and is comfortable. Always gets walks even though they also have fenced yard.”
“This was our first time leaving Marley. Prior to leaving our girl, Laurie made sure she knew everything about her. Laurie went above and beyond to make sure she was comforted during her visit. We were provided daily updates and pictures. All communication was promptly responded to. Laurie is fantastic!! We have already booked her for another visit later in the summer!”
“Our dog, Biscuit had a wonderful time with Madilynn! From the start of our booking, Madilynn responded quickly with questions I had. She was very flexible on when I dropped Biscuit off in the morning, and she let Biscuit feel like he was at home, even letting him sleep with her! She sent me updates on how he was doing. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dog and being out in the backyard running around on a nice day while she did some yard work. He was so tired when he got home, not because of separation anxiety which I worry about, but instead because he had so much fun! When you have to leave your dog behind, Its so comforting when it feels like they are getting their own little vacation at a new place and meeting new friends! I highly recommend Madilynn for your dog's stay!”
“Sharon and Glen provided a nice meet and greet, which was reassuring and permitted my dog to meet their dogs. I needed a long stay and they were able to accommodate at a reasonable price. They sent pictures to update me during our vacation. My dog seemed happy with the arrangement as well! Thank you for a great experience!”
“Misti provided good updates with cute pictures of my dog! She is a senior dog who needs lots of medications but I felt comfortable leaving her in Misti’s care. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Kirsten was great and treated my dog like her own during her stay with her family! She provided frequent updates and was so caring. My dog came home happy, clean and tired from playing with her two doodles all week!”
“Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
“Susan did such a wonderful job with my dog, Remy! Remy can be a little shy/nervous, but Susan and her family provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home, and I feel absolutely comfortable leaving Remy with them! She sent pics while I was away at training of their walks and snuggle time and provided updates for his interactions with everyone else in the house. She is great and we look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Coney was fantastic and so easy to work with! This was our first time leaving our dog with a Rover sitter, and we were super nervous, but Coney made the experience stress-free. She was great at communicating, sent us daily photos, and made sure our pup was well cared for. We truly appreciated her updates and the peace of mind she provided. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Lona and Alan are very professional, great communicating throughout Dexter’s stay and welcome him into their home❤️ Thanks for taking such great care of him while we are gone!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with Cici! We needed a sitter on very short notice while we were out of town for our wedding weekend, and she was so kind and accommodating. She took excellent care of Cici and kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her kids were also so sweet and gentle with Cici, and it was clear she felt comfortable and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I grew up on a family farm in Iowa, raising beef cattle, chickens, dogs, cats, horses and the occasional raccoon! I have experience from bottlefeeding newborn baby animals up to senior pets. My schedule varies weekly. I am a professional photographer that works on site and from home. My “home work” location is flexible as long as I have Wi-Fi! I can be fairly flexible with times as well as staying with your pet. For pets in my home, I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and there’s a river trail nearby for longer walks along with a pet area at my complex. I have previously stayed at and checked daily friends, family, and clients homes while they’re out of town/at work to care for their pets as well as farm animals. I have a wide array of experience working with different animals from regular in-home pets to many farm animals with feeding, walking, and giving medication if needed.
