Alexander was great with our whippet Hank! He watched him for 5 days at his house and sent us pictures and updates so we knew Hank was doing good. He also checked in with us every day, which we really appreciated. Drop off was super quick and easy, and Hank seemed really happy and comfortable with him. We had a great experience and would definitely use Alexander again! 10/10 experience

Thank you Aanchal!

Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for.

About: Hi!! I’m new here! My name is Lily, I’m 19 years old and I’m looking to take care of some fur babies!!! I have experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own unique needs and temperament. I’m comfortable with feeding, giving medication, refreshing water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, providing lots of love and attention and so much more. I’m responsible, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whatever your pet may be, I’m open to all sorts of animals! They will all be loved with the most attention under my care! I currently have an open schedule through out the week, and I will be able to work around your availability and timing! Let me know what days and time you would prefer and I will be more than happy to work with you Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

She kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me photos and videos regularly throughout her stay. Catrina was a godsend and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future! ❤️

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Olivia and her husband provided for my dog. Olivia went seriously above and beyond for Kato during his stay (which was a last minute booking for Christmas too). Kato is a bigger, young bully, so he’s not always the easiest to handle. Olivia handled him with ease and treated him like her own family pet. I received pictures, they went on hikes and car rides, etc (above and beyond like I said) 💕💕 I’m so glad we found Olivia. I’ve had some bad experiences with pet sitters, but I had no anxiety or worries during this stay and that’s priceless. I would 100% recommend Olivia and her husband to everyone.

About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a variety of animals, not just dogs and cats. I currently care for 4 cats, 3 dogs, fish, a turtle, and a jumping spider, so I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m attentive to details and take the time to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m especially patient with animals that may be nervous or take time to warm up to someone new. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication or care instructions, cleaning routines, and providing plenty of playtime, enrichment, and attention. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine: with patience, responsibility, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own animals. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding and cleaning schedules, making time for play and attention, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or needs. I enjoy being around animals and would be happy to make caring for your pets a regular part of my day while giving them the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I care for pets by following their normal routines and paying close attention to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home, I make sure they receive the appropriate feeding, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, cleaning, and other specific care needs. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and never force interaction. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, while also respecting their home and keeping things clean and orderly.

About: As a previous dog owner myself, I know that dogs love attention and playing, even sometimes just want to be held. Given that I had to give my dog away due to my profession, please allow me to take care of your dog, care for it, and love it on the days you have things going on. I'm available at night on weekdays and all day on the weekends if booked I’m advance. Also if any special requests like washing or brushing are needed, I can do those too! Anything like special food, specific acitivty time, or anything of the like apply to your pet, I'm willing to abide to give your pet the best experience yet and to give piece to your mind while you go out and have fun! I do currently work full time as a civilian on base. My schedule is normally 6am-3pm, depending on what’s needed for the pet I can try my best to adapt my schedule as need be! Currently I won’t be able to house any pets in my home, my complex doesn’t allow pet sitting for my apartment unit (dogs and cats) I’m 100% okay with being able to come by and see your pet, if you’re pet is in a enclose or cage I don’t mind looking after those as well as long as everything is provided to care for the animal (I’m thinking gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, lizards, etc.). Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine depending on what is required from the client regarding their animal. Feedings and pet engagement are my main priority so that if I cannot stay with the animal, the animal is getting social interaction when I drop by for feedings! I do not care for clients pets in my own home however caring for clients pets in their home is strictly followed from what is given guideline wise whether there’s a set of rules a routine an hour by our breakdown - it’s followed! And as always, there’s lots of pets and lots of cuddles involved.

When my AC broke in the middle of the night, I had to find last-minute daycare for my dog. I sent Clayton a message at 4 in the morning for a 730 drop off, and he replied and accepted my request within 5 mins. My dog is almost 13 and has been nervous around other dogs ever since he was attacked a few years ago. I was really hesitant about leaving him somewhere new, but Clayton’s reviews gave me confidence. And when we arrived, my dog walked in calmly and didn’t seem scared at all even with other dogs around. Clayton’s own dogs were so gentle and sweet, and mine quickly made a new best friend. Clayton stayed in touch throughout the day and sent lots of photos. My dog looked relaxed, happy, and like he was truly having fun. You can tell Clayton genuinely cares and treats your pets like his own. I won’t trust anyone else with my dog from now on.

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

Highly recommend Kylie for doggie daycare. I sent my little Bean there as he didn’t have much experience with other dogs. And she has worked with him to get him more comfy. I feel very confident and comfortable leaving my baby under her care.

About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).

About: (Base Access) Hello! I’m a Veteran, Mom of 3 kiddos, married to a Veteran and in my thirties with experience birthing puppies and goats, walking/running with dogs. I’ve taken care of 3 elderly dogs and helped them be as comfortable as possible before dying at home. Groomed our family dogs for years. I’ve helped my dogs and others after surgery and have experience giving medication. We have a single story home with only three steps to the backyard and two to the front yard. My husband and children are wonderful at cuddling and playing with all the dogs we get to meet. We will provide the full spectrum of care needed to help your furbaby feel loved and safe while away from their own family. I’m home most of the day every day, we go on walks as a family in the morning & evening. I have a minivan available for transporting all sizes of animals. We homeschool and my husband helps whenever I need to take the kids to activities. There are very few times where we are all away from home, so we are able to give extra attention. I have a large fenced yard with chickens (in their own fenced area) and my cats are friendly and live outside the home. Our home is a single story and the only steps are three to the backyard and two to the front yard. Our garage is heated/cooled and a great space to keep large kenneled pets. Our neighborhood is quiet and has a great road for walking on.

About: I have always been the one everyone goes to for animal care. Animals are driven to me. And when I come into somebody's home, the animals always sit with me or love up on me. I know how to take care of a variety of animals from dogs, cats, exotic animals, too farm animals. I have started watching pets on my own and have nothing but great reviews. I work for myself and I need a flexible schedule, as my son is autistic. He loves having animals around as well. I am a single mom and I love the fact that I can teach my son the appreciation for animals and what they bring into the home. When I am able to care for your pet in my home, they are able to socialize with my dog is well. He is very active. He is a lab pit mix. He is friendly and never had any issue with any other kind of animals. Your pet will also have more one on one care. When i do check ups at your home I'm only there for a short time and tend to get anxiety from being alone too long.

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals—especially dogs! Whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs on the couch, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior sweethearts, and I treat each one like part of the family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’m attentive, patient, and experienced with feeding schedules, medication, crate training, and special needs care. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is in kind and capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your pup! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time from 7am to 4pm, but I’m still flexible and make time for morning walks, evening visits, and weekend care. I’m committed to making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for—whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. Your pet’s comfort is always a priority in my schedule. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their usual routine. I stick to their feeding schedule, take them on familiar walks, give them playtime, and make sure they feel safe in their own space. I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I offer plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a cozy place to rest—just like home. I’m mindful of each pet’s needs and personality, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.

I have a fenced in yard it’s fairly large enough room to run and play if needed I feel confident in my abilities to safely get your dog in a crate

About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a variety of animals, not just dogs and cats. I currently care for 4 cats, 3 dogs, fish, a turtle, and a jumping spider, so I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m attentive to details and take the time to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m especially patient with animals that may be nervous or take time to warm up to someone new. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication or care instructions, cleaning routines, and providing plenty of playtime, enrichment, and attention. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine: with patience, responsibility, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own animals. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding and cleaning schedules, making time for play and attention, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or needs. I enjoy being around animals and would be happy to make caring for your pets a regular part of my day while giving them the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I care for pets by following their normal routines and paying close attention to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home, I make sure they receive the appropriate feeding, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, cleaning, and other specific care needs. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and never force interaction. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, while also respecting their home and keeping things clean and orderly.

About: Experienced in animal rehabilitation with a lifelong background growing up on a farm, providing compassionate, attentive care to multiple dog breeds and animals of all ages. As a young adult with no children or personal pets, I offer a calm, spacious environment with plenty of one-on-one attention—perfect for shy dogs needing comfort or outgoing pups ready for play and companionship. Since I’m in school, I’m only available Thursday–Sunday to be home and take care of them. If you’re comfortable with your pet being alone for up to 6 hours, I’d be happy to discuss scheduling. I want to make sure I’m able to provide your pups with the best care, attention, and companionship while they’re with me. When caring for pets, I pay close attention to their body language and individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. My home has a fenced backyard where they can use the restroom, play, and get exercise. Pets can stay comfortably inside the house or in the garage depending on their needs and preferences. I am happy to discuss any specific routines, requirements, or accommodations to help provide them with a safe and enjoyable stay.

I previously helped care for 4 dogs, over 10 cats, and 3 horses, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and needs. I also have experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for and handled a variety of animals. In addition, I pet sit for my uncle when needed, where I care for his 3 dogs. I recently moved and now have 2 of my cats with me, but I still have plenty of experience from caring for a larger group of animals. I understand how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

I’ll be coordinating availability around my husband’s work schedule, but I’m open to dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting when I’m available. I’m happy to communicate and work with pet owners to find times that work best, and I’ll always be upfront and reliable with scheduling. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, and instructions exactly as given. I’m very patient and attentive, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos.

April is awesome. She was easy to communicate with and asked a lot of valid questions in order to provide our dogs with the best care. The dogs enjoyed her company and she gave us peace of mind while we were away.

About: I had both dogs and cats my whole life and raised multiple kittens and puppies. I have a 2 year old golden doodle and just recently got a kitten. I have also taken care of senior pets which includes giving them medicine daily. I will take care of all ages and requirements! I am a college student with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets! I can crate train your dog and I would love to take them on walks. I know leaving your pet in a new strange place can be hard for both you and your pet, but I promise to take good care of them!

About: I also work in a boarding and doggy daycare facility. I am trained in medicine administration. I work daily around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and medical needs. I do have certifications in dog behavior. I work around 6 hours a day with my current facility and am always upfront and honest about my availability. I normally find out a week out what the following schedule for me will be like, if I make a commitment I always make sure to stick to it. I follow instructions set by owners depending on how strict you would like to be. I can normally get a dogs vibe and learn who I have to be slow and gentle with and which dog is super friendly and ready to play right away! I follow set times for feedings, vitamins, meds, etc.

About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).

Alexander was great with our whippet Hank! He watched him for 5 days at his house and sent us pictures and updates so we knew Hank was doing good. He also checked in with us every day, which we really appreciated. Drop off was super quick and easy, and Hank seemed really happy and comfortable with him. We had a great experience and would definitely use Alexander again! 10/10 experience

Aanchal is the perfect pet sitter. She communicates extremely well and is enthusiastic about boarding your pet. Our dog, Colden, had a wonderful weekend stay! He was well cared for, exercised, played and cuddled with! We could see that he was very happy to be there. Aanchal was very comfortable and reassuring when we dropped-off and picked-up our dog. Thank you Aanchal!

Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!

Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!

About: Hi!! I’m new here! My name is Lily, I’m 19 years old and I’m looking to take care of some fur babies!!! I have experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own unique needs and temperament. I’m comfortable with feeding, giving medication, refreshing water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, providing lots of love and attention and so much more. I’m responsible, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whatever your pet may be, I’m open to all sorts of animals! They will all be loved with the most attention under my care! I currently have an open schedule through out the week, and I will be able to work around your availability and timing! Let me know what days and time you would prefer and I will be more than happy to work with you Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Catrina took excellent care of my medically complex pup for an extended period of time. I couldn't be more grateful for the care, love, and attention she provided my dog while juggling her own family of pets! She kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me photos and videos regularly throughout her stay. Catrina was a godsend and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future! ❤️

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Olivia and her husband provided for my dog. Olivia went seriously above and beyond for Kato during his stay (which was a last minute booking for Christmas too). Kato is a bigger, young bully, so he’s not always the easiest to handle. Olivia handled him with ease and treated him like her own family pet. I received pictures, they went on hikes and car rides, etc (above and beyond like I said) 💕💕 I’m so glad we found Olivia. I’ve had some bad experiences with pet sitters, but I had no anxiety or worries during this stay and that’s priceless. I would 100% recommend Olivia and her husband to everyone.

Samantha did a great job taking care of Mia for a whole week. She was even able to feed Mia her farmers dog food three times a day. She took Mia for walks and kept her separate from much larger dogs. Mia loved her visit. She also showed us pictures of Mia throughout the day. We felt so much better during our vacation knowing Mia was in good hands.
