“Shanna was excellent! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and works with them regularly which is a plus! She is an expert in dealing with dogs of all kinds and different temperaments. she takes them on long walks in the beautiful forest where she lives and has a beautiful home that is viable for dogs. She was very detailed in her daily reports of Remi and I was comforted to know that she was with somebody who knows what they are doing!!”
“Brittany was absolutely WONDERFUL taking care of our Honeybear!!! She was warm and kind and Honey was so comfortable and loved her as soon as she met her!! She has lots of experience dog sitting, so she has a beautiful, very clean, dog friendly home with all the doggie beds and toys they could ever want! Also a nice big, fenced in back yard so Honey could run and play and do her business whenever needed. She had lots of playtime and snuggles with Honey, took her on walks, sent pics, and gave us updates every single day! We've had some great sitters, but none as phenomenal as Brittany!!! We would absolutely LOVE to have her keep our baby in the future!!! -Heather C.”
“This was my first time leaving MooMoo for a whole weekend with a dog sitter. I was very hesitant at first but Abriana and her house made me feel very comfortable. Her house is unbelievably dog friendly. She sent updates and kept me informed on how MooMoo was doing. I am exceptionally thankful that she got MooMoo to interact with other dogs knowing that he isn't the friendliest with other animals. I look forward to my next trip knowing that I have someone to rely on with my dog.”
“We are really very happy we found a pet sitter for our boys, they were so happy and Kristal sent us updates all the time. We will definitely going to use her service next time.”
“Absolutely awesome caretaker of our English Bulldog. She was attentive and communicated some health concerns that's may have led to more serious issues. We are so thankful to have found Isabella on Rover. She may have helped save our dog! She sent pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit to the vet I recommend 5 stars!”
About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
“Hayley was essential in taking care of Bronson with so much love and attention. I took an international trip and felt completely at ease knowing he was being well cared for. We will definitely come back again.”
“Christopher is super amazing and patient. He was patient and carefully monitored Ricky’s energy around the other dogs. He is well communicative which is definitely a plus when it’s your first time formally leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you don’t know. I love how he allowed me to also monitor my dogs behavior prior to completely dropping him off. Christopher is super respectful and understanding. I would recommend and book again!”
“Starla and her sons took great care of King. She kept us up to date with pictures and messages. He looked absolutely thrilled to be enjoying their company and big back yard. We will certainly request Starla in the future.”
“This is my second time hiring Brooke, and she continues to be amazing. She takes excellent care of my dog, Bella, and truly treats her like her own. Bella is always happy and well cared for, which gives me complete peace of mind. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend her. I just want to tell you how amazing you are at dog sitting. You take such great care, and it really shows. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Bella is with you. Thank you for everything you do!”
“Thank you June for taking such great care of my two pups. You made me and them feel at ease as soon as we walked that the door. I especially enjoyed the pics and videos to let me know how they are doing.”
“This was Polo’s first time ever being under the care of someone else. I am so appreciative of the love and care that was provided to Polo during his stay with Flavio.”
“Arleen, is the best pet sitter we have ever had. She was thorough in getting to know the needs of my pet and making sure she was well taken care of. She took her on walks, shared pictures, and spent time with her. I would highly recommend Arleen and give her more than 5 stars.”
About: I have always had dogs growing up, but as an adult I gained more experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, rodents and reptiles. I currently have a senior chihuahua who is 16 years old, a 1 year old chihuahua, a 3 year old border collie mix, as well as 2 cats. I have professional experience with dogs of all sizes, and have cared for a variety of pets. I stay up to date with researching animal behavior and health and feel comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I get off at 4pm on weekdays and never work weekends or holidays, giving me lots of availability to care for your pets! If you book a boarding or daycare service with me on the weekend, I will be home to provide frequent potty breaks and exercise as well as all the belly rubs they might want. I offer check-ins at the client’s home as well as boarding at my home. If boarding your pet at my house, it is important to know I have dogs and cats if my own as well as a young child. I am happy to discuss all requests and rules related to caring for your pet, as I see them as family! I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy caregiver that will take your pets on safe walks, feed them the appropriate amount, and ensure their needs are met. I have a large fenced in yard allowing pets to get plenty of exercise while I watch them.
“Vicky and her husband could not have been more kind to me as well as my dog. She made him feel right at home and his routine stayed the same. He was part of their family when he was there. She sent me pictures every day so I would not worry as well. If I could give her 10 stars I would. I will never take my dog anywhere elas”
“Christina was fantastic. She sent daily updates with pics and Finn seemed to have really enjoyed his stay with her and her family for 3 nights. We will definitely book again!”

“This was our first time using a sitter, and I must say how happy we are having Courtnie taking care of our baby! Normally, our baby will hide from people, but not with Courtnie. Animals know who is kind and gentle, and Courtnie is. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her for future needs. Thanks Courtnie!”
“Ariana accepted our booking almost last minute when we found that we had to travel out of state. They were able to visit our three "gentlemen" daily and ensure they were fed, had water and took time to interact and play with them. They also ensured the litter was fresh and sent us daily reports with pictures. We very much appreciated the peace of mind and the boys were very happy with them as well! Thank you!”

“Kylee did an amazing job! She was communicative, prompt, fulfilled all needed tasks, and she even made friends with my cat Chiken who trusts no one. I would definitely have her watch my babes again!”
About: I started off with cats which I even mentioned in my dog profile. We got our first cat when i was In 1st grade. His name was laces and honestly amazing. I started Training him little tricks because i just wanted to train everything. My second childhood cat was Rico! He was my SPCA rescue ! The seeetest of them all! When i went Off to college i then had another cat alongside my dog Omega, Romeo was the best. It is a goal of mine to get another one day but my house has just been taken over with dogs, which is why i wont house a cat. I know they wont be comfortable and i dont want my dogs to get hurt. True cat owners know they can handle their own. I’d love to be able to take a break from the rah rah go go go of my dog life to relax with some cool cats and make sure all of their needs are met.
About: I have fostered a lot of cats. They have a soft spot in my heart. I think I’m personally good at reading a cat’s body language because their personalities can definitely range from the crazy orange tabby to the judgey calico or the lazy Persian 😂. I’ve never trained a cat but am a reliable litter box cleaner.
“Great experience with Gina. She was very responsive and arrived on time and gave a few tips for us. Provided some pictures of Kico and gave us peace of mine knowing kico was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my parent’s dog on the weekend for years when they went on vacation, My parents have relied on me to to feed, walk, and play with the dog. I currently care for 8 cats and enjoy them very much. I am currently doing volunteer work on Monday and Tuesday mornings. I could help in the afternoons and evenings on those days. I have open availability on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and weekends. Those days can be during the mornings, afternoons and evenings. All pets need clean water and food spaces. I scoop my own litter boxes daily! I have a cat on a special diet that has some special needs and she is thriving. I had dogs most of my life but married a cat person 6 years ago! I love both and enjoy caring for animals and meeting their needs. I have 15 years of experience caring for children with special needs as well. Caregiving is in my wheelhouse!
About: I have always had roommates that own dogs and it has been a first hand experience of how to take care of dogs well. For the past 2-3 years, I have been entrusted with the privilege to care for my friends dogs, both overnight and for long periods of time during the day. I am a responsible, caring, dog-lover in my mid-30s, who loves to be active with the dogs in my life. Whether my friends dogs or even my boss’s dog, I I love taking a furry friend with me on a walk or run while training for my next 5k. I have a fairly flexible full-time job that allows me to work remotely and take off for bits of time as needed during the day. I am most available on Sundays & Mondays. I am flexible Tuesday-Thursday in the early mornings and in the evenings. I like to care for dogs in their owners homes because it helps them be familiar in their own space. I like to play with the dog in their backyard or take them on a walk in their neighborhood, or if neither is available, I enjoy a good game of tug-of-war and give lots of TLC to help the dog know they are loved & cared for while the owner is away.

“Kozi had another great day at Abriana’s! He doesn’t like it when it’s too hot and he gets a little dramatic. So Abriana carried him home the rest of the way on their walk. I am so happy to know that my baby is getting so spoiled. He loves going there. He’s really opened up with both dogs and people. He’s still tentative with strangers, but loves Abriana and Brandon! It’s been a great experience for him and I feel better knowing he’s not home alone and he’s out having a great time. So happy!!”
“Chelsey is amazing and was an absolute lifesaver! I unexpectedly had to work remotely out of town and needed last minute help with my dog. I messaged her early that morning on a whim, and she responded immediately. She even came to pick my dog up so I could clock in at a decent time, which meant so much. She kept my dog all day, took her on two walks, gave her play time, plenty of potty breaks, and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. When I picked her up, my dog was SO happy and playing with the other dogs which is huge because she’s not always the best with other dogs. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Chelsey for all your fur babies’ needs and will absolutely be using her services again in the future whenever possible!”
About: I am a animal lover, who has had dogs since I was basically born. I care about them all, big and small. Lots of experience in training. Our back lot consists of a shaded back deck with a small kiddie pool to swim and two dog houses. And cedar mulch to play in. Looking to take on your fur-babies full time. With lots of fun, walks, water, and outside play time. Anytime works for now. Out of work for the summer. I have a fenced in lot, and 3 dogs different ages to keep your babies company. I have two crates for separation and bed if needed.
About: As a retired teacher, creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment is second nature to me—and that extends to every pet in my care. My home sits on a beautiful lake with large grassy areas, giving your dog plenty of space to explore, play, and relax on leash or off. I have both a female Boykin Spaniel dog and a female Snow Hylander cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies. Whether your pet loves outdoor time, quiet companionship, or a consistent routine, I strive to make them feel right at home. Your baby needs to be cat and dog friendly. I will administer prescribed medications as needed. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for in a comfortable, stress-free environment. I am a retired teacher and am home to love and care for your pet while you enjoy your time away. My schedule is flexible to meet your pet's needs. I live on the lake and have a large grassy area for your baby to play and explore with my dog on or off the leash. Inside the home, space will be also be shared with my cat. So, your baby will need to be cat friendly as well. We have a relaxed environment, but I am willing to adjust to your dog's routine as needed.
About: I have watched dogs of family friends for over five years. I live in a neighborhood that is great for walks and have a fenced in backyard for limitless playtime. I have two children that love pets almost as much as I do that will give your pets the love and attention they deserve. Your pet will feel loved when they stay at my home. I have a fenced in backyard that allows for limitless playtime and provides extra security for your pet while I care for them. The neighborhood is small enough with a county like atmosphere that is great for morning and afternoon walks. We do prefer for dogs that are crate trained and can spend the night in their crate. It's preferred, but not required.
“Our dogs Luna and Lehla had an amazing time. Both were very well cared for. We were sent pictures of them playing through out the day as well. Highly recommend booking her for your first babies!”
“Christina is phenomenal! I had never used Rover services before, so she answered all the questions that I had. I reached out to her kinda late in the evening & she still was able to accommodate us for the next morning. She sent pictures & messages throughout the day to let me know how things were going. I highly recommend her & we will definitely be using her again in the near future. 🥰”
“Our energetic sweet dog had a great day with Ro. I felt totally comfortable with her. She seemed like a natural with dogs, had a great backyard, played with our dog during the day. Our dog was loving all over her when we came to pick him up. Ro is great. Can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little. Always had dogs and a cat growing up. Your pets are my family they will be treated the exact same spoiled rotten. I’m currently working full time from home. So I’m home 24/7, all my pets basically are always with me all the time. I have lap dogs and a lap cat. They basically with me all the time I work where they are. If they want to play in the yard I work on my computer outside, if they want to play inside I just sit by the counter and watch and play with them on my breaks. I try to take a 15 min break every 2 hours to play with them. They are always taken out every 2 hours if they don’t need to go out that’s fine they run outside and play.
About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs in the house from the day we were born, so we each have 20+ years of experience! I also was a house/pet sitter through most of high school and college, where I gained experience with senior and diabetic dogs, as well. We’d love nothing more than to love your pups for you whenever they unfortunately can’t travel along! My husband and I both work primarily from home, along with our two children and our own three dogs, so we are readily available for any and all of your pups needs! Apart from the occasional work or summer trip, we are available for boarding, play dates, walks, and the like as needed! We have a fenced in yard with a covered deck perfect for playing fetch or just catching some sun. We have a three year old and a nine month old, as well as three dogs of our own, two corgis and one boxer, who would love to keep your fur babies company while you’re away! We do have the ability to keep dogs in separate spaces if needed though, so there will be no concerns for anyone who isn’t a fan of little ones or just likes to have their own space. We both work primarily from home, so we will be at your pups beck and call for whatever they need whenever they need it! We know they are a member of your family, and we will provide the best home-away-from-home for them while you travel. We do require that all dogs who will visit our home be up-to-date on Rabies, Bordetella, Distemper vaccines and also be spayed/neutered if old enough (>1 yr.) This is to ensure the safety of all pups, both those visiting and our own. A digital or paper copy of your dogs vaccine records must be provided for the first booking, and will be kept on file for future use (and updated as needed). All dogs must also have a collar and ID tag when staying in our home. Everyone’s safety is our top priority! We do allow meet and greets for anyone who is interested so that we can all meet in person, and your pup(s) can sniff around and get comfortable before their stay.

About: I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats over the years. Whether it was daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving plenty of affection and attention, I’ve always made sure my pets felt safe, happy, and loved. Although I don’t currently have any animals of my own, all of my previous dogs and cats are thriving in wonderful, loving homes with family or trusted caretakers. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and would be happy to give your dog or cat the same attentive, compassionate care they deserve while you’re away. *im currently a solo parent so my baby and toddler will join me for visits as I don’t have childcare As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home most of the day and can easily fit pet care into our family routine.

About: I love dogs and have enjoyed working with them in many capacities since I was a child and formally for over 15 years. I am a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and have spent years training loving companions. I am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross and undergo annual recertifications to stay current on the latest first-aid procedures. I also have experience administering both oral medications and injections. Before your pups stay, we have each family fill out a form for their furry companion. This helps us get to know them better in order to make their stay easier. I have no breed preference and are familiar with handling working canines. Your pup is welcome in our home, and our couch is open to your furry pooch. However, I also understand there are dogs who prefer to be outside and are not easily accommodated indoors. I also have covered outdoor runs for those families who still need a vacation but whose pups enjoy more fresh air and natural surroundings. I am happy to accommodate each family's preference. No matter what, canines are treated to lots of exercise and playtime. I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.
About: I have done in house pet setting as well as occasional dog walking for families in the area. I love all animals, am dependable and trustworthy. I am an active foster for a local rescue, and I have grown up with dogs+ cats since I was a kid as well. I also have experience with farm animals! Until the beginning of this year I had a foster who I adopted, he was a senior boy who had extensive medical and behavioral issues. I am comfortable handling animals who may need more care and attention than the average animal. I am a first year law student who works part time and I am looking to make extra money to help pay for tuition. I have a pretty flexible schedule most days. I would be respectful of the homeowner as well as the dogs space. I would play with and walk the dog, and feed if requested. Ensuring that the dog is relaxed while also getting exercise. I send daily updates to the homeowner about the animals, along with photos as well.

I am currently available to spend time with your pets from 9am-5pm Monday through Friday, but if you needs services outside those times reach out & maybe we can work something out. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I have no issues spending time with your dog on leash or supervising in a fenced area, crating your pet or following any other instructions that you prefer!
About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds for about 5 years now. From dogs and cats (of all ages!) to horses, birds, and a tarantula! I have a lot of experience with senior animals and pets with special needs as well :). I work part time Monday through Friday but I am always off work by 3pm at the latest (often earlier). But outside of work I have no other responsibilities that cannot be adjusted to fit around your pets schedule! I have experience with all sorts of homes, ex: cities, busy neighborhoods, homes in the country. And all sorts of pets! I am happy to work anywhere and very adaptable.
About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !

In my home, I have a room specifically for the pups that I keep. When I am home i allow them to roam but when Im away I do not cage them unless the owner recommends it! If you prefer for me to come to your home, I abide by the instructions you leave for me.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they get the proper care they need. All of my family has relied on me to potty train their dogs. I have experience with multiple different breeds because I worked at a boarding/training facility. I am currently on summer break because I am a teacher so I have plenty of availability. I’m a morning person so I typically get up then feed and walk my dogs then tackle whatever the day brings. I’m only not available on Tuesday evenings. I follow your pet's established routine, stick to their feeding schedule, and keep everything exactly as you left it. Whether your pet stays in their own familiar environment or we are somewhere new I'm fully present and attentive the entire visit. Pets are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar spaces, and I always follow each pet's routine to keep them stress-free and at ease.

About: I grew up in a family that love dogs, so pretty much i’ve been around dogs my whole life and all types of them!

I am very reliable and my schedule is pretty flexible! I am working on getting a part time job but for right now I am completely free to watch your fur babies. After 11:00am Monday-Sunday! I will come and let your dogs out as many times as you prefer me to, and stay a little while so they can get out the crate and exercise their legs. I can even feed them if you ain’t gonna have enough time.

“Shanna was excellent! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and works with them regularly which is a plus! She is an expert in dealing with dogs of all kinds and different temperaments. she takes them on long walks in the beautiful forest where she lives and has a beautiful home that is viable for dogs. She was very detailed in her daily reports of Remi and I was comforted to know that she was with somebody who knows what they are doing!!”
“Brittany was absolutely WONDERFUL taking care of our Honeybear!!! She was warm and kind and Honey was so comfortable and loved her as soon as she met her!! She has lots of experience dog sitting, so she has a beautiful, very clean, dog friendly home with all the doggie beds and toys they could ever want! Also a nice big, fenced in back yard so Honey could run and play and do her business whenever needed. She had lots of playtime and snuggles with Honey, took her on walks, sent pics, and gave us updates every single day! We've had some great sitters, but none as phenomenal as Brittany!!! We would absolutely LOVE to have her keep our baby in the future!!! -Heather C.”
“This was my first time leaving MooMoo for a whole weekend with a dog sitter. I was very hesitant at first but Abriana and her house made me feel very comfortable. Her house is unbelievably dog friendly. She sent updates and kept me informed on how MooMoo was doing. I am exceptionally thankful that she got MooMoo to interact with other dogs knowing that he isn't the friendliest with other animals. I look forward to my next trip knowing that I have someone to rely on with my dog.”
“We are really very happy we found a pet sitter for our boys, they were so happy and Kristal sent us updates all the time. We will definitely going to use her service next time.”
“Absolutely awesome caretaker of our English Bulldog. She was attentive and communicated some health concerns that's may have led to more serious issues. We are so thankful to have found Isabella on Rover. She may have helped save our dog! She sent pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit to the vet I recommend 5 stars!”

“Hayley was essential in taking care of Bronson with so much love and attention. I took an international trip and felt completely at ease knowing he was being well cared for. We will definitely come back again.”
“Christopher is super amazing and patient. He was patient and carefully monitored Ricky’s energy around the other dogs. He is well communicative which is definitely a plus when it’s your first time formally leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you don’t know. I love how he allowed me to also monitor my dogs behavior prior to completely dropping him off. Christopher is super respectful and understanding. I would recommend and book again!”
“Thank you June for taking such great care of my two pups. You made me and them feel at ease as soon as we walked that the door. I especially enjoyed the pics and videos to let me know how they are doing.”
“This was Polo’s first time ever being under the care of someone else. I am so appreciative of the love and care that was provided to Polo during his stay with Flavio.”
“Robin is experienced and trustworthy. We loved the big fenced in back yard and ample inside room for our pups while we were out of town. I was emotional leaving my babies but knew they were in great hands. Photos and videos while we were gone and texting communication was spot on. We will definitely be booking again when needed.”
“Katy was so great with our dog! It was the longest we'd left her with anyone, so we were all a little nervous. Katy sent us regular updates and pictures, letting us know the progression of how Lula was settling in. By the time we picked her up, Lula was ready to come home, but had definitely grown to love and trust Katy too!”
“Talia did an amazing job caring for Dino. She sent photos and descriptions of their time together, making him part of her family. Dog parks, long walk and playtime with her family’s pet were just part of their routine. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. And he smelled great when I picked him up! She bathed him (which is no easy task.)”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with Morgann. She made it clear, in an easy way, how she would keep Daisy comfortable and loved while we were away. Daisy came home in an excellent mood, which is an improvement from a previous stay at a different location. We hope to use Morgann again.”
“Tina is an exceptional pet sitter. Sanson had a wonderful time under Tina’s care and attention. She and Charlie were very patient while Sanson adjusted to his new environment. I highly recommend her! Tina, you’re an Angel. Thank you for the pictures and videos that you send every day.”
