“Best Rover experience yet! Deserae updates regularly and every dog in the pictures are grinning from ear to ear! Our dogs LOVED it and I felt calm about the whole week while we were gone! Thank you!!”
“Serinitee super sweet and great with my babies. She communicates well with any questions and concerns either of us had. Mabel and Rowdy were well taken care of without doubt and I would highly recommend. I will be using her again!”
“Amanda and her family were absolutely amazing with our Ruby and Nova, she sent me amazing updates and photos and never once did I worry about the care they were receiving! My girls were showered with so much love and affection ❤️ I absolutely recommend booking with her!!”
“Mallory did a great job and it was super stress free for us. We had never boarded our dogs anywhere as we had friends nearby to help for trips.. So we were a bit nervous going into this and I now feel confident and will definitely consider Mallory’s services again in the future. Very accomodating and understanding of my dogs’ unique needs and everything seemed super smooth!”
“Laura did a great job for us and our dog, Reggie. She is an animal lover and that was apparent from the beginning and Reggie took to her immediately. She has a large backyard that is perfect for dogs, with toys and pools to keep them cool. She was kind enough to bring Reggie back to our home so we didn't have to drive to Aurora to pick him up. I highly recommend her!”
“Dylan was great! I was very nervous leaving one of my pups as it was her first time being away from us. She did very well and Dylan sent us updates daily. My pups didn’t want to leave when I picked them up! Highly recommend Dylan for your boarding stays.”
“Aaron and Jenn were absolutely amazing. They were easy to communicate with and it made leaving my pup for a few days easier! I definitely recommend and will book with them again for any future trips!”
“Ashleigh was great with all aspects of our dog's stay. Great communication before and during the stay along with pictures of how our dog was doing. Lucy was comfortable with Ashleigh and her home, and we look forward to using her again!”
“Nella is fantastic! She took excellent care of Jax who is a 45 pound energetic lap dog and can be a lot to handle. She kept in great communication with me and is very kind and great to work with.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have owned and trained animals professionally for 7 years. I would love to take care of yours! I work from home on my farm, Longhorn Arena. Meaning I am with the animals 24/7. I ride and train horses professionally and run a rodeo arena. I live on property and have the perfect set up to care for your furry friends. I have 4 friendly dogs on property, and the set up to crate several dogs if necessary. The arena is set on 30 acres of pasture land. So they can sniff and explore to their hearts content, including running in the fenced arenas, as well as miles of walkable roads surrounding us. We are off a state highway so safety is my biggest priority.
About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.
“Shania took great care of my dog while I was away for a few days. She was kind and easy to communicate with, and my dog seemed very happy and relaxed when I got back. I could tell she really loves animals and treated my dog like her own. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: I have taken care of pets for over 33 years ever since getting my first dog at 7 years old. I’ve had dogs of all sizes and shapes including a Lhasa Apso, King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull, Shihpoo, and Heeler/Daschund mix. They’ve ranged in ages from 8 week old puppy to 5 year old rescue when I brought them home and I nursed many through their senior years. Of course I love all pets so I’ve also had Bunnies, Fish, Cats, hermit crabs, frogs, and more. I love them all! Currently in my home I have a 1 year old Shihpoo name Mocha and a 5 year old Heeler/Dauschund mix named Luna. I promise to take care of your fur babies just as if they were mine! I am a single mother with lots of time on my hands to love on pets. I have a daughter in Junior High and a son in High School so I do run them back and forth to their activities but otherwise I’m ready to spend time with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a couple big trees for shade while pets are playing outdoors and a covered back porch for relaxing.
“Gerrard was and is an amazing sitter! He took care of my fur baby girl like family. Kept me updated with pictures/messages. I will definitely keep using him as my regular sitter for my fur baby!!”
“Mikala was amazing and anytime I need an overnight sitter she is the first person I will call on. My Gypsy was so taken care of over the thanksgiving holiday. I received regular pictures and updates with a smiling puppy with her new friends. A special thanks to Mikala and her husband for helping me with our puppy drop off as I was hospitalized a few hours after our meet and greet and wasn’t able to meet personally. That meant so much to me that these sweet people went out of their way to help me. I would absolutely recommend Mikala for any service with Rover. The apitamy of a puppy mom and no doubt your fur babies will be in good hands with Mikala.”
“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”
About: Hello! My name is Brooke and I have a precious English Springer Spaniel and had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog. I am a big dog lover and take my dog everywhere she can go with me! We love to hike, go biking, chase squirrels and the next door neighbors dog! I love spending time with animals, period, whether it’s playing with them or just taking them on a much needed walk! I also have house sat/pet sat for various families over the years and am extremely flexible with whatever families need. I have house sat/puppy sat from just a couple nights to several months at a time. I offer services of walking, in-home visits, over-night stays and quite frankly am flexible with any other situations that may come up! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work full time and even though I love puppies, would prefer to watch dogs that have a well established routine and can be ok for sometime alone before I can come and walk them and play with them. This is part of my personal routine with my own puppy. At this time I do not have a fenced in yard at my own home, so talking my dog for a long walk on the trails near my house is a must! For families where I am watching not only their animal but their home, I like to work within their animals normal routine so as not to add any more stress to the owners or the animal.
“Olivia was the perfect person for my senior dog! She knew I was nervous about leaving him and she sent pictures every day of our trip! He did so well and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Ashley was just absolutely amazing! If I could give her 10 stars, I 100% would! She really went above and beyond taking care of our girl! We really enjoyed the consistent check-ins and pictures and appreciate the extra time she took to let us know how Harley was doing while we were away! I was so thrilled that she actually seemed to take the time to get to know our fur baby and treated her like one of her own! This was our first time boarding Harley, but Ashley made it so smooth and stress-free! Would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again in the future!”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Samantha!!! My mom lives in Aurora Mo and I live 9 hours away in Wisconsin, my mom ended up in the hospital and I had no one to go let her dogs out. Samantha answered my message for help in just minutes saying she could assist with taking care of the dogs. She was even able to let them out and feed them the SAME NIGHT as my distress message. Set up 2 more visits for the next day as well because my dad wouldn’t be home until later that night. Samantha made me feel so at ease with entering my mom’s house without meeting her, taking care of my mom’s dogs that are her babies and locking back up! I was grateful for the pictures she sent of them so I knew they did indeed go potty. I sent the pictures to my mom and she cried knowing they were being well taken care of. Samantha thank you for being my hero and taking such good care of Dezi and Rowdy while my mom was in the hospital on such extremely short notice!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was little. I have watched and feed firiends and neighbors dogs and cats. Dogs and cats are fun to have around as each has its own personality.

“Katelyn did an amazing job! She was very kind and easy to work with. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was looking after my cat, and I felt comfortable having her in my home. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Breelyn has taken care of our 3 kitties twice now and she’s always been an excellent sitter and caretaker. We always know they are in safe hands while we are away, including our special needs cat with diabetes. She’s amazing at what she does, highly professional, incredibly friendly, and considerate. Wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have her look after our babies again while we need to travel for work!”

About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.
About: I treat every cat with patience and respect for their unique personality. I’m comfortable with shy cats, seniors who need medication or extra care, and keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I provide gentle attention, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and send regular updates so you always feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve own 3 cats in the past, Lana, Goochy and currently Milly. 2 of them were family cats but Milly is my own. I’ve adopted Milly from my sister because she liked me more. I’ve also personally saved my cat Milly’s life about 3 times. True story.
About: I’ve grown up with, and been taking care of dogs majority of my life. I know how important it is to make sure your dog is in good hands and would love to help you out! Could definitely do morning and evening care. I have some flexibility with work, so depending on your needs, we can definitely work something out in between that! I believe in maintaining structure (yes, even for dogs). They do better when they know what to expect too. I will do my best to learn your routine, their quirks, and make them as comfortable as possible and maintain your routine as I do with my own dog!

“Franco had a wonderful stay with Deserae. Couldn't have asked for a better one, with huge yard to play in and with other dogs to socialize and be trained in.

“Best Rover experience yet! Deserae updates regularly and every dog in the pictures are grinning from ear to ear! Our dogs LOVED it and I felt calm about the whole week while we were gone! Thank you!!”
“Serinitee super sweet and great with my babies. She communicates well with any questions and concerns either of us had. Mabel and Rowdy were well taken care of without doubt and I would highly recommend. I will be using her again!”
“Mallory did a great job and it was super stress free for us. We had never boarded our dogs anywhere as we had friends nearby to help for trips.. So we were a bit nervous going into this and I now feel confident and will definitely consider Mallory’s services again in the future. Very accomodating and understanding of my dogs’ unique needs and everything seemed super smooth!”
“Laura did a great job for us and our dog, Reggie. She is an animal lover and that was apparent from the beginning and Reggie took to her immediately. She has a large backyard that is perfect for dogs, with toys and pools to keep them cool. She was kind enough to bring Reggie back to our home so we didn't have to drive to Aurora to pick him up. I highly recommend her!”
“Dylan was great! I was very nervous leaving one of my pups as it was her first time being away from us. She did very well and Dylan sent us updates daily. My pups didn’t want to leave when I picked them up! Highly recommend Dylan for your boarding stays.”
“Aaron and Jenn were absolutely amazing. They were easy to communicate with and it made leaving my pup for a few days easier! I definitely recommend and will book with them again for any future trips!”
“Nella is fantastic! She took excellent care of Jax who is a 45 pound energetic lap dog and can be a lot to handle. She kept in great communication with me and is very kind and great to work with.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have owned and trained animals professionally for 7 years. I would love to take care of yours! I work from home on my farm, Longhorn Arena. Meaning I am with the animals 24/7. I ride and train horses professionally and run a rodeo arena. I live on property and have the perfect set up to care for your furry friends. I have 4 friendly dogs on property, and the set up to crate several dogs if necessary. The arena is set on 30 acres of pasture land. So they can sniff and explore to their hearts content, including running in the fenced arenas, as well as miles of walkable roads surrounding us. We are off a state highway so safety is my biggest priority.
About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.
“Shania took great care of my dog while I was away for a few days. She was kind and easy to communicate with, and my dog seemed very happy and relaxed when I got back. I could tell she really loves animals and treated my dog like her own. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: I have taken care of pets for over 33 years ever since getting my first dog at 7 years old. I’ve had dogs of all sizes and shapes including a Lhasa Apso, King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull, Shihpoo, and Heeler/Daschund mix. They’ve ranged in ages from 8 week old puppy to 5 year old rescue when I brought them home and I nursed many through their senior years. Of course I love all pets so I’ve also had Bunnies, Fish, Cats, hermit crabs, frogs, and more. I love them all! Currently in my home I have a 1 year old Shihpoo name Mocha and a 5 year old Heeler/Dauschund mix named Luna. I promise to take care of your fur babies just as if they were mine! I am a single mother with lots of time on my hands to love on pets. I have a daughter in Junior High and a son in High School so I do run them back and forth to their activities but otherwise I’m ready to spend time with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a couple big trees for shade while pets are playing outdoors and a covered back porch for relaxing.
“Gerrard was and is an amazing sitter! He took care of my fur baby girl like family. Kept me updated with pictures/messages. I will definitely keep using him as my regular sitter for my fur baby!!”
“Mikala was amazing and anytime I need an overnight sitter she is the first person I will call on. My Gypsy was so taken care of over the thanksgiving holiday. I received regular pictures and updates with a smiling puppy with her new friends. A special thanks to Mikala and her husband for helping me with our puppy drop off as I was hospitalized a few hours after our meet and greet and wasn’t able to meet personally. That meant so much to me that these sweet people went out of their way to help me. I would absolutely recommend Mikala for any service with Rover. The apitamy of a puppy mom and no doubt your fur babies will be in good hands with Mikala.”
“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”
About: Hello! My name is Brooke and I have a precious English Springer Spaniel and had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog. I am a big dog lover and take my dog everywhere she can go with me! We love to hike, go biking, chase squirrels and the next door neighbors dog! I love spending time with animals, period, whether it’s playing with them or just taking them on a much needed walk! I also have house sat/pet sat for various families over the years and am extremely flexible with whatever families need. I have house sat/puppy sat from just a couple nights to several months at a time. I offer services of walking, in-home visits, over-night stays and quite frankly am flexible with any other situations that may come up! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work full time and even though I love puppies, would prefer to watch dogs that have a well established routine and can be ok for sometime alone before I can come and walk them and play with them. This is part of my personal routine with my own puppy. At this time I do not have a fenced in yard at my own home, so talking my dog for a long walk on the trails near my house is a must! For families where I am watching not only their animal but their home, I like to work within their animals normal routine so as not to add any more stress to the owners or the animal.
“This is my second booking with Nicholas. My dog has had a great time spending time with him and his dogs. It’s a giant plus that he has a big fenced yard for Moose and his own dogs to get some exercise off leash I’m thankful for Nicholas and his kindness, care and keeping Moose entertained. Great experience for sure!”
“Anne went above and beyond assisting me. She was able to take my fur babies at the last minute. She even went and picked them up herself and took them to her house. They received lots of love and even got to sleep on the sofa. Thank you, Anne.”
“Lael is the perfect sitter. I know she took really good care of Rio and he had so much fun with her dogs. Will definitely use her again! Her place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Perfect place for dogs to roam.”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.
