“This was our first time using Rover.com and Bridget stood out to us right away. She was very flexible with scheduling and very understanding when we had to change some times around. She watched Kaycee for a long weekend and Kaycee was immediately comfortable. She provided daily pictures so we continued to have peace of mind. During the meet and greet, she was prepared with questions regarding health, habits, and training; she eased my mind by answering all my questions regarding potty times, sleep arrangements, payments, and pick up/drop off times as well. We felt she was affordable and provided far more attention to our puppy than any dog boarding place would have. We will definitely be using Bridget again for a sitter. Kaycee loved her!”
“This couple is amazing with our furry family! We have two corgis full of “personality”. Excellent communicators. With John and Rachel as an option for care of our four legged family, I’ll never use a traditional boarding facility again.”
“Aspen came home a happy and tired girl, sign of a great overnight! Chloe was great to communicate with and sent photos of my girl. Looking forward to her next stay!”
“M was so lovely with our dogs. She also helped us navigate some tough travel uncertainty in bad weather and picked up/dropped off our dogs for us. They came home freshly bathed and had clearly had a wonderful time!”
“They were great with our unpotty trained puppy. They helped quite a bit and we are trying to rebook them again for another weekend trip a few weeks out. We hope to have our puppy on a better potty schedule by then and have no doubt that Daine and Ashley will keep up the routine. They are great.”
“I had never boarded my dog before, and Saige made the process seamless. I had many questions and had to change a few timelines at last minute and she was very patient with me! My Great Pyrenees chewed a little sore on her paw and Saige tended to it which I very much appreciated. I enjoyed getting and reports of how Willow was doing. I will use Saige again! Thank you!”
“Sylveena was remarkable! Communication was daily, quick to provide feedback and answer questions. Look forward to having her watch our dogs whenever we have to travel. 10/10!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my Blue Heeler received! When I picked her up after two nights, she was calm, content, and completely at ease — no anxiety at all, which says everything about the environment she was kept in. The dog area was spacious and looked brand new, giving her plenty of room to feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be back!”
“Cheyanne and her boys were amazing! We left our 7 year old golden doodle Chuck in their care. We were so nervous leaving him behind while we went on a Christmas roadtrip and Cruise, but knew it was necessary. Cheyenne sent videos and pictures while we traveled and even when we're not accessible. When we were able to use our phones again a video of them singing him Happy Birthday. My face lit up! If ever I need someone to look after Chuck I will go directly to Cheyanne. I highly recommend this family to take help care for your pets when you need to get away.”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Great communication, one of my dogs is quirky and she was very patient with him. She has a beautiful large fenced in yard for animals to run around and play. They had a wonderful time staying the week.”
“I have a 6yo Olde English Bulldogge named Decimus. I went on a Family Retreat to Gatlinburg, Tn. for a week. I was unaware the place booked did not allow pets. I booked Christine to watch my furbaby. She did a most excellent job taking care of him & with his special instructions. Daily updates with several pictures. I highly recommend! 5 stars definitely.”
“Courtenay was great with our dog Rosie. Communicated everyday with a quick picture and short text update. For us it was comforting knowing she got more personal attention then she would have at a commercial boarding facility. Very happy with the service we received and will plan to use her again if she is available.”
“Jacqueline watched our big, very energetic golden Pyrenees 24/7 for 9 days and everything went great! She texted videos and pictures with updates every day and he seemed to have a great time. Will reach out next time we go on vacation!”
“My husband and I are incredibly thankful for Jill! We have never left our dog with anyone we didn't know or at a location other than our own home. Our dog is a bit anxious and not very socialized to begin with. Jill and her dog, Wallace were very welcoming of our dog and made us all feel comfortable immediately. While we were on vacation we received daily updates and photos to keep our minds at ease. Her work schedule allowed our dog to stay on a similar schedule as he normally would at home. Overall we were very pleased with Jill and will definitely use her again.”
About: For most of my life I have owned a dog and for all of my life I have loved dogs! As I kid, I helped care for my family dog, Dexter, until he was 17 years old. Currently, my wife and I have a 28 lb. Beagle/Lab mix Riley. She's such a joy in our lives. I know how important your dog is to you, so I will care for yours like she/he is mine, with lots of love, playtime, walks and great care.

In addition to walking and visiting with your dog, communication and updates are important services that I provide. When I am away from my pet, I want to know she's okay and receiving the best care. I'll send as many or as little photos of your fur baby as you'd like, so you can confidently know that she/he is being take care of; the photos will also give you a little smile to get you through the day. We also have a 9 year old cat, Moby. He keeps to himself and his cat tree on most days, but we occasionally receive some lap visits from him.

“Katie always gives the best care to our cats, including giving medicine to our two special needs cats. She is highly recommended by us for her promptness, dependability and care.”
“Thank you so much Tiffany!! Sorry my cats are scaredy cats, but I'll work on that for future visits. Tiffany does great job looking after my kitties. Loved the pictures.”
“Thank you, Amanda, for your wonderful care of my kitties! Great communication and lots of fun photos on every visit! Thanks for braving the snowstorm to care for my fur babies! Appreciate you very much!”

About: I’ve been around cats for many years and have experience caring for them through every stage of life, from young kittens to senior cats. I currently have an adult cat and a kitten, Sunnie, and I’m familiar with kitten care, feeding schedules, nail trims, litter box maintenance, playtime, and helping cats feel comfortable in their environment. I’ve also cared for cats with medical needs, including administering medications and monitoring their health, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little details. In addition to caring for my own cats, I have taken care of many friends kitties while they’re away. I truly love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and always strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every cat is different and I always respect boundaries.
“Jessica was a wonderful pet sitter to our older cat. She was able to do a few overnights so our cat wasn’t lonely. She actually stayed longer than scheduled because of a snow storm. Our house was left tidy and communication was good throughout our trip including pictures. We would use Jessica again.”
“Madison was great! Very satisfied with her care of Grover. I could tell by the photos that he was happy and well taken care of. I will certainly use her again if she is available.”
About: I have been a cat owner for 13 years. I apoted my black Maine coon Blade from wayside waifs when he was a tiny 8 week old kitten. With having a long hair cat I know how important it is to brush them out and keep their litter box clean. We play with lots of toys and his favorite toy is the Lazer pointer. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend time with your baby/babies.
“I appreciate Meggie’s special care for my kitties so much ! We were able to travel without worries - she is reliable and communicates very well! She went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable- I couldn’t ask for a better experience!!”
“Kathleen went above and beyond to make sure she gave my cat his injections. He was difficult but she was a trooper and got the job done. I very much appreciate all her hard work. I would highly recommend her.”
“We have used Allison a few times now and she has exceeded any expectations each time. She is very responsive, punctual, and leaves great reports for our animals. I can always count on her and can’t recommend her enough.”

“Gail was very personable and knowledgeable about animal behavior. She handled my dogs with great care and they felt very comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again.”
“This is like a second home for Zion. He's receiving the attention from Kathleen, her dogs and the freedom to run and play in her home, as well as her fenced in back yard which we don't have at our home. We're hoping to extend Zion's one-day stay to many overnight stays that will help fit our traveling and working schedule.”

About: I have a stay at home job where my hours are very flexible. I do have visits with clients that can last 1-3 hours but if I know that I’m caring for your dog I will do my very best to not schedule two visits in a day! I will spend lots of quality time with your dog and make sure it is getting more than enough love and care that it needs! I work in social work, so I usually have 2-3 visits per week that last between 1-3 hours. Other than that, and the other activities I spend my time doing, I will give your dog so much love when I am home! I am rarely ever gone for more than 3 hours at a time.

About: Moonbabies Little Lodge offers boutique home boarding designed especially for small dogs who enjoy a calm household environment. Your dog will stay in a cozy home setting with a small resident pack of friendly toy-breed dogs and plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in our secure backyard play yard. Our yard features enrichment areas just for small dogs, including ramps, tunnels, lounging spots, and shaded cabana areas where pups can relax between play sessions. In warm weather we even bring out a splash pad for dogs who enjoy cooling off. Inside the home, dogs are part of the family during the day and sleep comfortably in their own individual night pens with beds and toys for a peaceful evening routine. Because this is a small home environment, we typically host only 2–3 guest dogs at a time, allowing us to give each dog plenty of attention and supervision. This setup works best for dogs who: • are under about 20 lbs • are comfortable around other small dogs • are house trained • can relax calmly in a pen or crate if needed A meet-and-greet is required before first bookings to ensure everyone is a good fit. We look forward to welcoming your pup to Moonbabies Little Lodge — where little dogs have big fun. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life! Guest dogs join our calm daily small-dog household routine with supervised backyard playtime, indoor relaxation, naps, cuddles, and social interaction throughout the day. I keep my guest list intentionally small so each dog receives close supervision and personal attention in a comfortable home environment. Moonbabies Little Lodge is designed specifically for friendly small dogs. Dogs enjoy supervised play in a secure fenced backyard and are introduced gradually to maintain a calm group dynamic. Guest dogs are monitored closely and separated if needed for rest, meals, or quiet time. Overnight, dogs sleep safely in cozy individual pens with their own bedding, food, and water.

About: Taking care of people’s pets is my passion, and I have over fifteen years experience caring for them professionally as a vet technician at Banfield Animal Hospital as well as an animal care technician at several different boarding facilities. I have also been an animal shelter volunteer since my 8th birthday, I asked to try it as my present, and that’s what got me hooked! I provide attentive, professional care with a genuine love for every dog I meet. I don’t just “watch” pets—I learn their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Over the course of my professional career I have worked with every type of breed and personality under the sun, from high-energy puppies to scared of their own shadow rescues to “just want a nice quiet place to lay down” senior dogs, I’m confident in reading behavior, maintaining structure, and responding calmly in any situation. I have yet to encounter a pet who hasn’t warmed up to me within a few hours, or wasn’t excited to come back to stay again. Pets under my care are treated with patience, affection, and respect—like family, not a booking! Unlike traditional boarding, I do not use kennels, unless they are necessary and that is communicated to me by the owner because of potty training and/or destructive behaviors. I have got dog beds for every shape and size, although most are more comfortable on the coach with me or in my bed at night. And, of course, there is no extra charge for playtime or extra treats! My family are all pet lovers here as well, so my husband and kids love having extra dogs around to spoil with treats, walks around our subdivision up to the pond, couch snuggles, and endless playtime in our large fenced in backyard. I never watch more than four at a time, to make sure every one of them gets plenty of attention. I am currently working on obtaining my Masters degree, primarily online, so I am home with the pets I “board” the majority of the day. I am currently in school part time working to obtain my masters in Animal Science. My schedule is very flexible and I am at home pretty much 24/7. I have a fenced in large yard in a quiet neighborhood, so I walk dogs I watch/my dogs 1-2 times a day and let out any elderly dogs I am currently watching through the front door to avoid the deck steps. I feed my dogs twice a day, they drink filtered water and get denta sticks each day. I always bring dog treats on walks so reinforce good behavior. We consider our pets people here, so getting on furniture is allowed as well, unless the owner says to discourage. I do not kennel dogs unless owner provides kennel and instructs me to use it for crate training/destructive behaviors.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.

“This couple is amazing with our furry family! We have two corgis full of “personality”. Excellent communicators. With John and Rachel as an option for care of our four legged family, I’ll never use a traditional boarding facility again.”
“Aspen came home a happy and tired girl, sign of a great overnight! Chloe was great to communicate with and sent photos of my girl. Looking forward to her next stay!”
“M was so lovely with our dogs. She also helped us navigate some tough travel uncertainty in bad weather and picked up/dropped off our dogs for us. They came home freshly bathed and had clearly had a wonderful time!”
“I had never boarded my dog before, and Saige made the process seamless. I had many questions and had to change a few timelines at last minute and she was very patient with me! My Great Pyrenees chewed a little sore on her paw and Saige tended to it which I very much appreciated. I enjoyed getting and reports of how Willow was doing. I will use Saige again! Thank you!”
“Sylveena was remarkable! Communication was daily, quick to provide feedback and answer questions. Look forward to having her watch our dogs whenever we have to travel. 10/10!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my Blue Heeler received! When I picked her up after two nights, she was calm, content, and completely at ease — no anxiety at all, which says everything about the environment she was kept in. The dog area was spacious and looked brand new, giving her plenty of room to feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be back!”
“Kristy was fantastic! She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates of how my dog Scout was doing and treated him like he was her own! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Cheyanne and her boys were amazing! We left our 7 year old golden doodle Chuck in their care. We were so nervous leaving him behind while we went on a Christmas roadtrip and Cruise, but knew it was necessary. Cheyenne sent videos and pictures while we traveled and even when we're not accessible. When we were able to use our phones again a video of them singing him Happy Birthday. My face lit up! If ever I need someone to look after Chuck I will go directly to Cheyanne. I highly recommend this family to take help care for your pets when you need to get away.”
“Cameron was great! He made Sadie feel right at home and made sure she got walked and given lots of attention. He was great at giving her her medicine and he even noticed that she was starting to get an ear infection and cleaned out her ear and let us know right away so we could call our vet. He sent lots of communication and Sadie stories and photos. There was a logistical issue that was entirely not his fault and he worked with me to make sure everything was settled correctly. I had to make a last minute change and he was flexible and ubderstanding.”
“I have a 6yo Olde English Bulldogge named Decimus. I went on a Family Retreat to Gatlinburg, Tn. for a week. I was unaware the place booked did not allow pets. I booked Christine to watch my furbaby. She did a most excellent job taking care of him & with his special instructions. Daily updates with several pictures. I highly recommend! 5 stars definitely.”
“Jacqueline watched our big, very energetic golden Pyrenees 24/7 for 9 days and everything went great! She texted videos and pictures with updates every day and he seemed to have a great time. Will reach out next time we go on vacation!”
“My husband and I are incredibly thankful for Jill! We have never left our dog with anyone we didn't know or at a location other than our own home. Our dog is a bit anxious and not very socialized to begin with. Jill and her dog, Wallace were very welcoming of our dog and made us all feel comfortable immediately. While we were on vacation we received daily updates and photos to keep our minds at ease. Her work schedule allowed our dog to stay on a similar schedule as he normally would at home. Overall we were very pleased with Jill and will definitely use her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Dani (Kathryn is my legal name, which was required to include on my profile 🙂). I understand how challenging it can be to leave your dog when you're away, and my goal is to make their stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible—almost like they’re on a little vacation of their own! Your dog will stay in my home, receiving plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I have a 10-month-old puppy (Marty) of my own, so I plan to keep my boarding group small in order to give each dog the individual attention they deserve. 📸 You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and having a great time. 🐶 I welcome friendly, well-socialized dogs and take the time to learn about each dog's personality, routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any other individual needs prior to their stay. 🏡 Your dog will be treated like part of my little family while they’re here. I’ll do my best to maintain their normal routine, so they feel comfortable and at home. My dad is a retired veterinarian, so I have extensive experience with animals of all kinds and sizes, and I love them all! Before their first stay, I would be happy to arrange a meet & greet to help ensure your pup feels comfortable with me, Marty, and our home. I look forward to getting to know you and your furry friend! 🐾 🥰 I have daytime flexibility that allows for shorter walks during the work week and longer walks & visits to the dog park in the evenings. I enjoy visiting any and all dog friendly places around the city. I have a fenced in backyard and a very sweet and playful 10 month old shepherd mix named Marty who has never met a furry friend he doesn’t like! He enjoys being outside so we walk frequently, as well as go to the local dog parks.
About: For most of my life I have owned a dog and for all of my life I have loved dogs! As I kid, I helped care for my family dog, Dexter, until he was 17 years old. Currently, my wife and I have a 28 lb. Beagle/Lab mix Riley. She's such a joy in our lives. I know how important your dog is to you, so I will care for yours like she/he is mine, with lots of love, playtime, walks and great care. Now that I’m a stay-at-home dad I have so much more time to spend with Riley and you’re dog, too! From young puppies to seniors, I have cared for a wide range of sizes, needs, and breeds. Each dog requires special care and I am here to provide just that. I am willing to make most requests and special accommodations. Ask and I will let you know if I can meet your needs. In addition to walking and visiting with your dog, communication and updates are important services that I provide. When I am away from my pet, I want to know she's okay and receiving the best care. I'll send as many or as little photos of your fur baby as you'd like, so you can confidently know that she/he is being take care of; the photos will also give you a little smile to get you through the day. We also have a 9 year old cat, Moby. He keeps to himself and his cat tree on most days, but we occasionally receive some lap visits from him.
About: My husband and I have been around animals all of our life. We have pet sit for our family and friends for many years and we love doing it so much that we have decided to extend our services to others. Being parents of a rambunctious cat and shy dog we know how scary it can be to leave your loved one with a stranger. With us your baby will not be a stranger for long, we will welcome them with open arms and care. We have 25 plus years experience working with all age ranges of cats and dogs. Between my husband and I we are able to arrange our schedules so your furbaby will have constant fun and loving interaction. For Drop-Ins during the week we are able to drop in anytime after 4:00 P.M. Monday-Friday but on the Weekends we will have more availability to drop in at any time of the day. We have a one story ranch home that is animal friendly. We have large chain linked fenced in yard in a quaint neighborhood. We have a 3 year old female Great Dane who is a big baby and loves to play with other dogs and gets along with cats. We have a cat who is a lover. If we need to go to a persons home we will be very respectful of their home and wishes.
