“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.”
“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!”

“This was Kaycee’s 2nd stay with Amanda and her family, and it was just as wonderful as the first! 🐾 Amanda kept me updated with photos, videos and messages, and it was clear Kaycee felt right at home. She had plenty of playtime, attention, and love — I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia was fantastic! She is extremely kind, communicates clearly, and flexible with changes. We had a few changes with our schedule, and she was so nice about it and took care of things. She sent us pictures and videos of our dogs while we were away. They had a great time, and I felt like they were so safe in her hands. I’ll definitely take them back again ?”
“Our dog loves Gerrad - when he stays with him, we is part of his family and it’s such a comfort to know he is so loved and well taken care of while we’re away. Excellent communication, lots of pictures, and some training too…can’t ask for more, Gerrad is the best!”
“Anne watched my dog over a recent weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. My dog can be a bit timid and struggles with some separation anxiety, but Anne was wonderful with her. She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”
“Mickayla is awesome! I knew from the time we met that we are in good hands! This was the first time I have left her with someone, I could not be more pleased! I loved the pictures she took and told me about Gracie’s day. I can tell she loves animals, and I am so thankful and will definitely pick her when I need someone to care for my pup.”

“Our dog had a return visit with Kim and he had a great time! He’s made friends with her dog Benny and they loved playing and wearing each other out. I really appreciate that she sends updates and pictures throughout the stay and has been flexible and easy to work with. We are so thankful to have found her since we don’t have any family in town to watch our dog when we need to travel. Thanks Kim!!”
“My boy had a great time with Tracy and her pups!!! After I had a bad experience with a local pet hotel, I felt that my boy needed more personal care. Tracy was attentive and caring, her pups well behaved and friendly and her home dog friendly. I had no hesitation leaving my boy with her and she kept me updated throughout his stay. I will definitely use her services again!!! Thank you so much Tracy!!!”
“Emma was fantastic with our pups! She sent us lots of “pupdates” with pics. Took the girls on several walks, on outings to the park and even tried to teach them tricks. She went above and beyond with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience.”
“Took great care of Oakley ! We felt comfortable leaving her with them. She seemed to have fun! We don’t trust many people but with them we did. They have 2 other dogs who seemed to like our dog ! Thank you guys appreciate it.”
“Raelynn was the sweetest and took excellent care of our two senior rottweilers. We were sent an update daily along with pics and could tell they were having a good time with her. Would recommend again and again!”
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.
“We had something come up last minute on a Sunday and needed to be out of town overnight. We usually board at the vet, but of course they were closed so I looked on Rover. Payten was able to take him that day and even within just a few hours. I felt very comfortable leaving Benji with Payten once I met her. She is super sweet and made sure to ask all the questions regarding his care. She even sent me a few pictures of him while we were away. I'm guessing he had tons of fun and was more active than usual because when we got home he wanted to do nothing but sleep. The only thing to note is she does have a toddler in the home. He done great with our Benji and Benji loves playing with kids, but if your dog does not like kids, this might not be the best option for you.”

I also keep litter boxes clean, follow feeding routines closely, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Mickayla is absolutely fantastic. She clearly takes her responsibility very seriously. From the very first meeting to get the low down before her first care day through the actual visits while we were gone, Mickayla was very communicative and kept us in the loop with all pet related goings on. We received lots of fabulous pictures of our kitties and the one kitty that is the most hesitant around new people was coming all the way up to Mickayla for pets on their first meet. Animals know good people! Best of all, we had complete peace of mind while away from our pets. I highly recommend Mickayla!”

About: I have always had pets (dogs mostly) and love them! I will love your babies as if they were my own! I hope you pick me! I have recently retired and am looking for something gratifying to help other Dog owners with the care of their pet! I know how stressful it can be when you have to leave your pet for any length of time and would love to relieve that stress for you! 😊 I have a fenced in yard with a senior dog, Bella. She is such a great dog and is so aloof, like nothing bothers her! I am unable to board certain breeds due to home insurance restrictions and my senior dog so may not be able to accept every request, however, I haven’t turned one down yet!

About: With five years of pet-sitting experience and 18 years caring for my own dog, I offer dependable, respectful in-home care. As a law student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent companionship, gentle handling, and a safe routine while you’re away. I’m free most weekends, and my weekday schedule is somewhat flexible. I am in class Mondays from 1PM-3PM, Tuesdays from 1PM-5PM, Wednesdays from 10AM-3PM, Thursdays from 1PM-5PM, and Fridays from 10AM-12PM. I just moved to the area, but I’ve been pet sitting for years. My own dog recently passed, so I really appreciate any chance to spend time with pups. They’re the best study partners, and I’m always happy to give them company and love. I follow your pet’s routine exactly and keep your home secure while you’re away. Clear communication, safety-first habits, and gentle handling are my priorities. Your pets stay comfortable, your home stays respected.
“Sydney is great! I needed a sitter for my new puppy while I’m at work while she gets adjusted, and Sydney has been amazing. Love that my dog gets a chance to socialize with new people, visit with some cats, and get tired out and sleep through the night. Sydney has been a great communicator and very easy to get ahold of, with lots of flexibility with my schedule. Would absolutely recommend her!”

“Raquel treats your pups like her own. I started taking my young pup to her while I am at work a couple of days a week, and each time Murph comes home she seems full of love and ready to sleep from all of the playing! Every morning when we drive up to Raquel’s house Murph cannot get to her front door fast enough… she gets so excited to play with Raquel and her four legged friends! Thank you Raquel for treating my girl like your own!”

“Bree did a great job with my two needy dogs. We were in the midst of moving and with doors open, movers in and out, and Hoodini living again in the form of a dog, it was best they be some place more peaceful and secure. The second day there were excited to be out the door and off to the car to see Bree! They sat quietly most of the day watching doggy TV, which is what they needed. The dogs obviously liked her, even our shy reluctant one. I definitely taking them to her again! She knew they needed peace and quiet and gave them that.”

I am very active and love to be outside, rain or shine. I have a 6 year old mix we rescued from a shelter I volunteer at locally. We got her when she was just a year old and struggling to acclimate. She’s our little couch potato and will snuggle anyone. She is the most kind and gentle momma. I have experience with high energy and high anxiety dogs. No dog is too big or too small for me. I also have experience giving dogs medication and feeding on schedules. I like to go above and beyond to ensure your pets get treated like mine would. I work from home managing our small hobby farm. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible most days! I am up at 6 am with the sun and available. I respect your home and your animal just as I would my own. I know it can be stressful having someone in your home and around your pets so I communicate a lot! My home has a large 6 ft. fenced in yard and beyond that is our fields. The farm is separate from the home and yard area and your pet will never go up to the farm.
About: I have experience with exotics, dogs, and cats. I have owned dogs for all of my life and the last 7 years I have owned many exotics. I am available full time 7 days a week. I can also do overnights at the pet owners’ house or my house. I also have a fenced back yard. I would take care of the client’s pets the same as I would treat my own pets. I would feed and give fresh water, as well as walk them. If I see anything that concerns me, I would contact the client’s vet or go to the Emergency Vet Clinic.

She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”

“My boy had a great time with Tracy and her pups!!! After I had a bad experience with a local pet hotel, I felt that my boy needed more personal care. Tracy was attentive and caring, her pups well behaved and friendly and her home dog friendly. I had no hesitation leaving my boy with her and she kept me updated throughout his stay. I will definitely use her services again!!! Thank you so much Tracy!!!”
“Emma was fantastic with our pups! She sent us lots of “pupdates” with pics. Took the girls on several walks, on outings to the park and even tried to teach them tricks. She went above and beyond with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience.”
“Took great care of Oakley ! We felt comfortable leaving her with them. She seemed to have fun! We don’t trust many people but with them we did. They have 2 other dogs who seemed to like our dog ! Thank you guys appreciate it.”
“Raelynn was the sweetest and took excellent care of our two senior rottweilers. We were sent an update daily along with pics and could tell they were having a good time with her. Would recommend again and again!”
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.
“We had something come up last minute on a Sunday and needed to be out of town overnight. We usually board at the vet, but of course they were closed so I looked on Rover. Payten was able to take him that day and even within just a few hours. I felt very comfortable leaving Benji with Payten once I met her. She is super sweet and made sure to ask all the questions regarding his care. She even sent me a few pictures of him while we were away. I'm guessing he had tons of fun and was more active than usual because when we got home he wanted to do nothing but sleep. The only thing to note is she does have a toddler in the home. He done great with our Benji and Benji loves playing with kids, but if your dog does not like kids, this might not be the best option for you.”
“Sydney and her husband are amazing! They provided great updates while my dog was with them and were so flexible and understanding when I accidentally booked wrong, and they let my dog stay another night! I’m so grateful to them!”
About: Growing up I’ve worked with dog’s and sometimes cat’s whether it’s with family, friends or even my neighbors! From a very young age others have relied on me to give their pet’s the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working part-time, so I have more than enough time to give your pup attention. I’m available during the weekdays from 7am - 1pm and all day on weekends. I currently have a flexible schedule which gives me time to give your pet the attention they need. I can work most weekdays and I can also work around their routines to help them feel comfortable, and cared for.
“Jennifer was so great with our pup. She sent constant pictures and updates throughout our pups stay. She didn’t want to leave when we picked her up. We will definitely be using Jennifer again.”
“Jennifer provided excellent service. Our dog was loved and cared for as part of their family. We will be using her again - we have already reserved another time. She also provides excellent communication and updates.”
“Ashlyn and her pets were fantastic with my sometimes-reactive dog. She listened to my cautious instructions and made sure my dog had a warm start-up to his week-long stay. Thank you!! Will be returning in the future :).”
“Courtney and daughter took great care of our puppy Leia. She was with her, in her house or on walks ,virtually the entire time were out of town. She responded quickly in a somewhat of an emergency situation for us. So happy we were able to connect with Courtney. Thanks again!!”
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.
