About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life and try my best to create an stress-free and healthy environment for your pets and your peace of mind! I’m currently on a sporadic schedule which leaves me with a lot of time to take care of your pet and all their needs as well as give the support they deserve. I will make sure the environment is very stress-free and calm along with the potential need for discipline (which I will do as your directed desires.)

“Amy and Aaron watched my two dogs over the weekend. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will certainly be using them again. They were very loving, kind, and patient with my dogs. They took the time to really help my 11 month old pup that was struggling being left at someone's house for the first time. They went above and beyond simply meeting each dog's needs. You can tell they are true animal lovers with good hearts. They were very flexible with us regarding pickup and dropoff. They also sent several pictures and updates which I appreciated. Their dog, Bella, was an absolute sweetheart and a perfect playmate.”
About: I've been around and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old, which included my own, grandparent's, and in-law's dogs. I am a very compassionate and loving person who will give your dog the care it needs. I'm currently looking to make extra money as I continue to search for a fulltime work from home position. I am available any time after 10 am and available on the weekends. I have a small unfenced yard in a country like setting that is perfect for taking dogs for a walk. I currently don't have a dog of my own but am looking to adopting one soon.
“Gabrielle took GREAT care of our dog while we were on vacation! She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he got plenty of walks. We will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 2 years in our house and in others as well. I have two kids that help to learn responsibility, work ethic, and love! I teach and coach so my availability will vary but I’m available on most weekends, summers, and holidays. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your babies! I have a very friendly family dog at our fenced in house. I live in a pet friendly area with multiple floors and levels to take care of your fur babies!
About: Looking for an experienced animal sitter or affordable daycare that is flexible? Woof, I am your gal! From 13 years of combined dog training and behavioral training, I may as well be an animal mind reader! My approaches to pet care are holistic and it doesn't get more organic than loving and working with animals. I've also had many years of experience with small animals, fish and reptiles. If you need a small sitter, I'm all yours! MEET & GREET: I do my meet and greets differently than most. I have TWO meet and greets. The first is with owners alone for a tour of my house, going over routines and any additional care and concerns. This is very helpful as exciting dogs barking can be overwhelming. The second meet and greet is at a basic place like a park or OUTSIDE of dog park. My schedule and routine is pretty flexible, yet still manageable and structured. My daycare hours are Mon-Fri from 8AM to 5:30PM, though I can work around your schedule only on those days. Boarding is available 7 days a week during the night with check in times anywhere 2PM to 7PM, checkouts 8AM next day unless specified otherwise (in the event I am unavailable with a week advance notice). Dog walks and dog check-ins are only Saturday evenings, various hours. BITE POLICY: I understand that accidents happen and I am equipped to handle a bite from a dog/cat as well as ensure the safety of animal to animal bites. If your pet bites me, another person or pet, I will immediately contact you with details of the event. I will report ALL bites to Rover. Depending on the situation, someone will need to pick up pet(s) within 6 hours of contact and bite. It is up to Rover to issue a refund depending on circumstances. You MUST book your request through Rover and MUST pay via Rover for them to ensure a refund. I will NOT refund if you have paid via CashApp, check, Venmo, cash, etc. if you are required to pick up your pet(s). If I assess the situation and feel it's risky to board/sit your pet I will decline future requests. NOTE: You MUST book/CONFIRM your requests via ROVER! When you send your requests to me, I will book it and you must confirm via Rover in order for me to watch your pets. Pending request will be denied of service. NOTE: Boarding is charged by the NIGHT. For example, if you request for me to board your pets Jan 8th thru Jan 17th, they MUST be picked up ON the 17th, not the next day on Jan 18th. Please factor in how late you will arrive and if it's the next day you will have to pay for that night. This works just like a hotel stay. You will be charged a $20 fee for each pet if you need to extend stays. NOTE: Please make sure your pets are free from fleas and parasites! Upon meet and greet provide proof of recent medication, vet summaries, and other remedies. I no longer provide daycare services, only boarding, walks, and check ins. I currently have 5 cats and 1 dog. Walking and at home check ins are anywhere from 1-3 hours Sat evenings. I will walk around neighborhood only if a safe and trusted area. I also will care for cat in home visits. All required is specific walking and care instructions.

“There are no words to describe how lovely Melinda is. So kind, helpful, loving and playful with our puppy. She provided him an excellent exercise and care session after a day of travel. We feel like we’ve found “family” and we just met her! If you need help with a pet and she’s available, it will be the best choice ever, seriously. We are so grateful and pleased.”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my daily life all the way from childhood, adulthood and of course fatherhood! I have cared for many dogs of many ages and sizes and are comfortable with administering medications, taking long walks, trips to the local dog parks, adhering to any dietary needs and enjoying the company with each dog I am privileged enough to have in my home! I am a father with a flexible family schedule. This is great for dog sitting because each pet will be able to get a lot of attention and one on one time! I also have children who are eager to help out too! I live in a single family home in a quiet neighborhood. The home has hardwood floors and enough space for dogs of many sizes. Dogs are allowed to be on the couch but not on beds. Ample space is available for crates and there is a good sized front and back yard which can house a tether if needed. My home is on on a dead end street which means low traffic throughout the day. I also live close to lakes and walking paths which is ideal for taking your dog on walks.
“Fig had a wonderful time. He is a 3 month old large breed with an endless supply of energy, but is sleeping and snoring as I write this review! Eve did a great job updating me and sending photos throughout my work day.”
“Cosmo had a great visit with Gabrielle and her pup. She took very good care of him and he seemed happy to be there. I won’t hesitate calling her again next to I need a sitter.”
About: I’m Amy - a huge animal lover and would be happy to care for your pet(s) as well as I care for my own! I understand how hard it is to leave your pets while traveling or vacationing, or even during the workday, which is why I started on Rover. I have a very open availability and am flexible for walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting. I worked in a veterinary clinic for 2 years where I learned a lot about health and wellness of cats and dogs. I also have experience administering medication, handling special needs/health issues, and basic training. I promise to provide kind, loving, patient care for your pet, and open communication! I currently have a very open/flexible schedule. Please reach out about any times/dates you may need care for your pets and I hope I can help fit your needs! Aaron (my husband) and I have one dog and two cats that we’ve had for over 9 years. We love being outside, being active and taking our dog, Bella, for walks. I am very detail oriented and promise to always be 100% respectful of your home, property, and pets.

About: SPECIAL HOLIDAY RATES!! I have 50 years experience with dogs. I have experience training, grooming, walking and loving dogs. Big one's, little one's, itsy bitsy teensy one's! Cats? I love them! I am the first person my friends call when they need a sitter. Short notice no biggie. I specialize in 30 minute drop-in visits although, 60 minute drop-in visits are available for a little more TLC. I am very dependable and responsible. I do not believe in physical punishment or scare tactics to correct a dogs behaviors and cats are practically purr-fect anyway. Gentleness and kindness ( a little bribing doesn't hurt either). l require to have a meet and greet before any agreements are made between us about sitting. All dogs must be spayed or neutered unless they are pups too young for that. All dog must be current on all shots. Owner must provide collars and leashes or (harnesses preferred) NO CHOKE CHAINS ALLOWED!!! I work midnight shifts This allows me to have time in the afternoons and evenings 4 to 5 days a week That varies And I do not work every other weekend every other Tuesdays every other Friday. I have a large house with a fenced yard a security balcony and two stories of play space and all dogs that I host in my home are allowed in any room in the house during naps and bedtime we all sleep in one big room together separated by gates or barriers if necessary otherwise they pile in with me in the bed I work part time out of the home. I have a lot of freedom and time to spend with your furry babies and so they are rarely alone and I accompany them when outside at all times. I have a safety plan that I have developed over the years that I strictly follow to ensure that every pet that stays in my home is protected from accidents and harm. I provide separate feeding areas to prevent squabbling over food, and I provide separate sleeping arrangements for my rover dogs where they have their own beds and blankets for them to be safe and comfortable. I provide segregated safe zones and private quarters for pups that need some extra space to feel safe and comfortable Or for nervous and timid dogs that need to adjust to the house for a bit before they come join the others. For your convenience and Upon request, I can provide food and water bowls and 2 feedings a day for my boarding pups. NOTE: I only feed SCIENCE DIET ADULT COMPLETE DRY DOG FOOD. I give only HIGH QUALITY TREATS which I also provide. Please request this additional service at the Meet and Greet appointment prior to the booking drop off day. Clients have found that they are less anxious and stressed when they don’t have to pack up bowls and food and all their dogs stuff. Beds and blankets from home are best for your dogs boarding experience because they need familiar things that have your and their scent for comfort I am home full-time Monday-Thursday and I work part time on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays outside of my home. I have plenty of time to play with your for babies. I have a comfortable pet friendly home with a nice size fenced yard where I take your pets to play. I also have a gated deck for smaller pets. They are never left unattended even while in a fenced yard. Safety is my first priority for all pets and people.
About: Ive had dogs since i was 13, i have over 2 years of professional animal care experience at animal facilities. All my pomeranians are seniors and are happy and healthy! Im very reliant and optimistic about what I do. Id love to care for your little one! I’m currently working part-time as a kennel attendant at a doggy daycare. Im mostly available during the day but not so much the night time. Regardless i am around animals 24/7! My dogs have a nice backyard where they play when they are let out. I will not be able to care for any other dogs at my own home, but Id love to care for yours in the comfort of your own home!
About: My house is full of love we love all pets big and small we have chinchillas, birds, cats and my dogs and they will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. Also for pet sitting I offer multi pet family discounts because as someone with many pets I get it pet care can be expensive. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, dogs and cats. Starting in 2020 I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 9 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.
