She sent frequent updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog boarding experience. She is simply the best, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. We will absolutely trust her with Bruno again!”
“Christina was a wonderful caregiver for our girl. Her daily pictures sent to us we’re great and we could see how happy Sateen looked. She was clearly loved by Christina and her family and she got along well with their little dog. We are thrilled that we found her and have a place to leave her when we have to be away. We had such peace of mind and could relax knowing she was in safe hands.”
“She was so great with my little boy. I just knew as sweet as my baby was, she would have to end the stay early. But she was so kind and patient with him. She sent pictures and videos of him and what he was up to. He was able to have the same one on one time with her like he would work my regular schedule. He had a ball. If she allows him back, I will definitely book with her again.”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring, which made the whole experience stress-free. She treated my dog like her own and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during the stay. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it was clear my dog was relaxed and having a great time. When I picked my dog up, I could tell they were well loved and in great hands the entire time. I would 100% trust Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarder. Thank you so much, Shannon!”

I feel very comfortable that Poppy will be safe and loved by Tina & family!”

About: I'm a high school math teacher and my wife works from home full time. Looking to watch after your little guys so we don’t have to get another one. Our dog Penny, has recently passed however we would like to keep her pictures and memory alive on this profile*. Most days I'm up early and dont mind being active and taking morning walks. Experience wise ive taken care of neighbors cats and dogs as a teen and have had 2 dogs myself over my adult years as well as turtles if you care about that. Dropping off your pet at my place seems like the best but I'm open to stopping by your place if need be. One of us is almost always at home full time to care for your pup. My wife loves snuggles and always looking for another blanket buddy We have a large yard and one friendly toddler looking for her next best friend. Overall it is a quiet home with lots of space.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats that require extra patience and attention. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I focus on creating a stress-free experience while you’re away. During each visit, I ensure your cat is fed on schedule, litter boxes are kept clean, and they receive the right balance of attention—whether that’s playtime, affection, or simply quiet companionship. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, monitoring behavior changes, and providing updates so you always know how your cat is doing. Cleanliness, reliability, and clear communication are my top priorities. My goal is simple: ➡️ Keep your cat comfortable ➡️ Keep your home clean ➡️ Give you total peace of mind while you’re away
“Jenna was so great with my 2 cats! Their food, water, and litter was well taken care of and the cats seemed happy when I returned after almost 2 weeks away. Even my hidey cat came out for Jenna! I’d definitely rebook her in the future.”
About: I have taken care of animals that I have owned and those of friends and family for most of my life! No cat or dog is too big or too small! I currently have 2 GSDs and 3 cats so high-energy animals are welcome! I have a full time job but I am available just about everyday during the week and all day on weekends most of the time! With the animals currently in my home, I am not offering boarding at this time but I am more than happy to do drop ins and walks as needed!
“Alexandra and her husband came over to meet my dachshund to make sure she is comfortable with them- they were very sweet and caring towards her I would definitely book them again:)”
About: Ever since graduating high school, I’ve been taking care of my Buddy boy. He is very special and has been blocked, has been diagnosed with asthma, and needs special meds and food for both of these. I would say administering medicine if my strong suit since I do it so much!
“Sabrina saved the day when my neighbor couldn't watch my dogs for a night. She followed directions to a T and the dogs seemed very happy when I got home later that night.”
“Alison was absolutely fantastic. She took such amazing care of my two bunnies. I was sent pictures multiple times a day, as well as updated on everything she was doing for them! I cannot recommend her enough. I felt so happy and grateful my babies were in such amazing hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life I have a pig and chickens as well Throughout my lifetime my last position was a teacher taking care of kids in a certified environment I’m currently a full-time phD student and I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I have recently left a full-time teaching position to concentrate on my studies and will enjoy brakes as I earn a little extra money while loving on your fur babies I have a fenced in yard for dogs and a cat and a pig and some chickens your dogs will be separate from my brood.
“I was reluctant to use rover because I haven’t been away from my cat before but she was amazing!! She gave daily updates and pictures and made me feel comfortable with the idea of rover. Will 100% book her again the next time I leave town 🩷”
“Madison was wonderful!! She let me know when her visits started and ended, and sent me many pictures of my cat every day. I will definitely be rebooking Madison!”
About: Hello! My name is Emma and my family currently own seven dogs ranging from various sizes. We have a 10lb teacup doodle to a 80lb golden retriever. I have actually raised 5 of them from when they were puppies to now. I have been dog sitting my own dogs from 6-7 years now when my parents go on vacation for a week or longer. I feed them, take them on walks and such. I also started accepting other clients 4-5 years back for over night stays or week stays. I don’t leave the dogs alone unless I have work or school. I also walk my friends’ dogs when they get busy so I have a lot of experience. I am unable to offer for pets to stay at my place because I have an apartment but I do not mind staying over to make sure your dog(s) are well taken care of. I always make sure to follow the schedule given to me by the owners and make sure that they get plenty of exercises and play time. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take them out and watch after your dogs. I usually let them out in the morning around 6ish for the first time and will feed them around 8ish. After that I let them out whenever they went when I’m at home or about every 3-4 hours if I’m working. I feed them around 5/6pm and let them out one last time around midnight if needed. I also prefer to take walks early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid other dogs and avoid the heat. I don’t offer to board dogs in my apartment but at the client’s home, I do think the dogs are more used to and know what they can and can’t do. I will do my best to make sure there aren’t harm that will come to them but usually a fenced in yard or I can take them out on a leash as needed. I also can put them in crates as needed but usually that is not a problem.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tar Corner
“This was Juno's first time staying with people she didn't know, but the kids were great with her. I think it was good enrichment for her to hang out with little kids as she seems to be in high spirits now after her "daycare" experience. Received cute photos and updates. I am glad to have reliable sitters nearby and will feel perfectly at ease leaving her with Eric's family again.”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Kathleen is so great, she kept us updated throughout the whole day and even sent videos of Lola! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be booking with her again!”
“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”
About: I have been raised around both dogs and cats. I have boarded dogs multiple times from a month up to a year with two cats that love meeting new friends. I have experience bathing and taking care of both dogs and cats and love to keep them entertained with playtime ,indoors for cats, and outdoors with dogs in the large fenced yard that gives them room to run around and play! Hi! I’m Morgan, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, so your pup will receive lots of attention, companionship, and care. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us. Our home features a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run and play, along with a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks and plenty of opportunities to explore. During your dog’s stay, you can expect: • Lots of supervised playtime and outdoor time • Daily walks (if your dog enjoys them) • Plenty of love, attention, and cuddles • Daily photo and video updates so you can see how they’re doing • Feeding and care based on your dog’s normal routine • Oral and other routine medication administration, if needed Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I ask that all dogs are up to date on vaccinations, are comfortable around young children, and are friendly with other people. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your best friend. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own and make sure they have a fun, safe, and loving stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I care for all family members (animals) as the same way I do my own. If they are at my home they will have the best playtimes inside and outside (depending on type) with multiple toys and freedom to be comfortable with tons of cuddles! If I am at the owners home they will have that same freedom and following the owners wishes will still provide lots of playtime, cuddle time, and affection!

“I needed a sitter for Sophie Grace at the last minute for a very long event, and Christianna came through without hesitation. As a devoted dog mom, leaving Sophie is never easy. In fact, I was so emotional that I cried when I dropped her off. Christianna immediately reassured me that Sophie would be well cared for, and she was absolutely right. Throughout the day, she sent updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Sophie was receiving plenty of love and attention. The true testament came at pickup. Sophie was excited to see me, but then turned around and went back to give Christianna more kisses through the window! That spoke volumes. Knowing that my baby felt safe, comfortable, and loved meant everything to me. I am beyond grateful for the care Christianna provided and would not hesitate to trust her with Sophie again. Highly recommend!”
“Rhonda was warm and friendly! It seems that Dakota had a very interesting visit with her. This was the first time we had him to a sitter. He came home exhausted and happy!!”

“Eugene is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! He watched Brinkley for us (2nd time) while we took a quick day trip. Brinkley was so excited to see Eugene when we arrived, and I know he had a fun day. Thanks again, Eugene!”
“Daisy had a great time with Cassandra and Tradd. She had a fun time playing with noodle and macaroni as well as their two children. Very thankful we found them and absolutely intend on reaching out the next time we are going out of town!”
“My dog is extremely attached to me, so I was nervous about leaving her with a sitter. However, Akemi has the disposition and experience I was pretty sure would work for my dog, and I was right! Akemi has been fantastic about entertaining my dog, so she isn't so sad while also creating such a loving and positive environment for my dog that my dog now adores her too! She was able to quickly bond with my dog making it so my dog and I both feel comfortable leaving her with Akemi. Akemi is quickly responsive to messages and always sends a detailed report with plenty of pictures after each session. I feel confident I am leaving my dog in secure and loving hands.”
“What can I say about Lorraine’s daughters and husband who watched my furbaby yesterday!??!? They were absolutely AMAZING—10/10!!! I was 100 percent at peace after meeting this beautiful family and putting Sophie in their hands! I will definitely be booking with this family again and again!!!!”

About: == FULL TIME DOGGIE DAYCARE AND BOARDING! == Thank you for stopping by! Please read on to learn more about how we got started in the pet care business. == ABOUT US == We are a military family full of dog lovers (who isn't) and have been since we were children.

Since starting our Rover journey, we have been trusted with the privilege of caring for many of our friends' and family's dogs. With us, you can be sure that your dog will be in the hands of someone who enjoys dogs and their loving nature! == MEET AND GREETS == We personally do not require meet and greets but are more than willing to accommodate your request to have one, as we understand and value a mutually harmonious fit between all parties. Meet and greets will take place in the front yard and be limited to 10-15 minutes. Also, please know that we do not give tours due to liability reasons, however there are pictures on our profile to reference if needed. Our home is spacious, safe, secure and clean! PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Daycare rates cover up to 12 hours ( pricing can be adjusted for half days etc) Boarding rates covers 24 hours *If a daycare stay exceeds 12 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. **If a boarding stay exceeds 24 hours by more than 2 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. ***A convenience fee of $10 will be applied to any drop off or pick up prior to 7am. Please note that any photos and updates will be sent between the hours of 9am -9pm. If you have any further questions that were not answered here, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for reading and we hope to meet you and your best friend! == SCHEDULE == Our family is are full time dog sitters (I am a stay at home Mom) and Eric (husband) still works his full time job in the military typically 8am-2pm. We are committed to have a dog loving and caring life while balancing our "weekends". We are typically able to accommodate changes in your schedule/needs to adjust pick up and drop off times. Please let us know as soon as possible about any adjustments needed. == DURING YOUR PUPS STAY == Upon a dog's first arrival, we strictly monitor their interactions with any other dog to be aware of any dynamics we need to be concerned about. We do not hesitate to separate dogs into different play areas if anything seems off. Our property is fully fenced on all sides, and we have gates to keep even the best escape artist pups safe. Dogs have full access to our entire downstairs which open up to a well-maintained fenced in yard. == FEEDING == During feeding time, your dog will fed in their crate or a play pen area to prevent food aggression and upset stomachs caused by consuming foreign dog food of other pups. == SLEEPING == Crate-trained dogs will sleep in crates (please specify if your dog is used to a certain size, as we have a wide variety of sizes available. Dogs who are not crate trained will sleep in a pen. Special accommodations can be made for dogs who are not able to do either of those. == WALKS == While it is our goal to make sure each dog get proper exercise and socialization, we do not provide walks during boarding due to liability and risk factors involved with walks (dogs escaping from harness, eating something off the side walk, coming into contact with an unfriendly dog, etc).

If your pup shows any signs of disease or illness, please let us know beforehand so we can make sure you receive a proper refund.

“I'm basing this review on my limited experience with hiring dog walkers. This is my first time using this app or any dog walker services for that matter. I was amazed how easy it was to sign up and find a qualified dog walker under such short notice. I was worried my dog's stature and puppy manners would be intimidating, but was worried for nothing. The walker, Renee, handled him really well and passed in flying colors. Will use this service and walker again in the future if the need arises again.”

As a kid I helped my dad raise three litters of puppies, which taught me early on about responsibility, patience, and proper animal care. Over the years, I’ve always had anywhere from one to four dogs and one to two cats at a time. In addition to dogs and cats, I currently have or have had bunnies, turtles, fish, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and cows. I also have experience caring for and riding horses. I’ve helped with the birth of puppies, goats, and piglets. While I’m not a veterinarian nor do I have formal veterinary training - having owned and cared for a plethora of animal species, I have learned a lot about animals and gained a lot of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable caring for sick animals, administering basic medical care, and monitoring health concerns. Animals have always gravitated toward me — especially the shy, anxious, or less trusting. I’m patient, calm, and genuinely enjoy earning their trust. While your pets are my responsibility, they will be spoiled, loved, safe, and well cared for. I recently decided to leave my people-y career after 15 years. Again, I prefer animals to people so I can’t think of a better way to spend my newly acquired free time! My schedule is pretty open with a day or two notice. Your animal(s) and home will be loved, cared for, and respected. If there are any concerns or special requirements please let me know or leave detailed instructions. :)
About: I have a wide range of experience in caring for 1-30+ dogs at a time. I’ve cared for numerous family and friends’ dogs, hunting dogs, and I’ve worked for two boarding/daycare businesses over the last 3 years. I have experience working with dogs who have seizures, and in administering a wide range of medications. I am a full time student and work part time, so my hours are a little complex, but I’m more than willing to work together with you to try and find a schedule that works for everyone! I can care for your doggo in your home so that they’re the most comfortable, and so they can stick to their routines! I’m happy to run around and play with them and take them for walks; I’m also very happy to be a couch potato with them! I really do care about your dogs and want to give them and you peace of mind when they’re in my care!
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life from my own animals to my friends and families. I always was the first of my siblings to volunteer to help feed, walk, watch over, bathe, and learn about animals and it's since been a passion of mine. I work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets in my free time. I the sweetest cat,Olly, so I definitely get creative with indoor/outdoor activities. I have a variety of cat toys that your animal will have access to (depending on your preferences), puzzles and home made interactive games so your pup will constantly be entertained and hopefully tuckered out when returning home!

“We are very happy with our experience with the Rover app. We gave little notice for a dog walk on the Rover app and Tayla B. was able to walk our dog at the time requested on such short notice. We will definitely use the Rover app again and request Tayla B. again. She was on time and we are very pleased with her service. Thanks again!”

“Boarded my cats with Sherry, and am really happy with the experience! I was nervous initially since I wasn’t sure how it would go with dogs at the residence, but she had that covered!
