“Greta provided great care for our independent minded and sometimes mischievous husky mix and was willing to meet us elsewhere for the drop off and pickup since we had some challenging transportation logistics. Good to know we have a great option for Moon!”
“Althea was wonderful with our lab. Her location with access to trails and swimming is ideal. She provided frequent photos and videos so we could see our dog happily enjoying playing and hiking or just relaxing with her two friendly dogs. Our dog is already asking us when we are going away again so she can go back to Althea's place.”
“Susan and John are wonderful and I’m so glad I found them on Rover. My dogs, Ginger and Ollie, love them. They have games for the dogs to play with and they have a fenced in backyard. They are also wonderful at sending pictures which helped me to know they were safe and having a good time. Susan and John have a warm loving home and I would highly recommend them.”
About: I’ve been providing services through Rover since 2024 and worked privately prior to that. I’ve always lived in a household with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I’ve raised many from puppies through their adult and senior years. I understand that every dog has unique needs at each stage of life and am happy to tailor care specifically for your canine companion. Boarding Details: I have 10 acres of private land with a pond, giving dogs plenty of space to explore and enjoy. Boarding pups are welcomed as part of my pack and family during their stay—I want them to feel just as comfortable as they do at home. We also have a dedicated bedroom, with a crate available if needed, so everyone can have their own space. I can’t wait to connect with you! 🐾 I adventure daily on local trails with my own pups and love planning bigger outings on the weekends. I enjoy including daycare and boarding dogs in our activities when it fits their personality and comfort level, so every pup gets the right mix of exercise and fun. During daycare or boarding stays, dogs receive morning potty breaks and exercise, enrichment or rest during the day, and evening adventures or structured playtime. I keep feeding schedules consistent and make sure everyone has time to settle. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to accommodate special diets, crate preferences, or senior/puppy needs so your dog feels safe and comfortable throughout their stay. I’m available most evenings after 4 PM, with extra flexibility during February and April school vacations. From the end of June through the end of August, when I’m out of school, I’m much more available for weekly let-outs and boarding opportunities if needed. My goal is to keep your pet in their routine as much as possible, so they can be comfortable and things go smoothly! If boarding at our place- dogs have the accessibility to a fenced in yard, several acres of off leash trails explore, a private pond, & 2 friendly pups during their stay!
“Good coordination and discussion prior for 1st boarding - very helpful to ensure comparability. Nice set up for activities and doggie leisure. Blackjack came home happy and tired. Nice folks.”
“Michelle was great with our Enzo. She sent lots of updates with pictures and videos and I know he was well loved. The day we picked him up he slept all afternoon and was such a happy dog. Will absolutely use Michelle again.”
“We’ve brought our dog to Abby four times now, and every visit has been wonderful. She truly treats our dog like her own. He gets lots of love, playtime, and updates so we never worry while we’re away. Our dog gets excited the moment we pull into her driveway, which says it all! She is always going above and beyond. We love her and our dog loves her.”
“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”
“My dog had a great time hanging out with Brittany and her family. I got pictures of Lola throughout her stay which I appreciated so much and will definitely be bringing her back!”
“Emily is kind and caring. Funny too! We were impressed by her thoughtfulness with the humans as well -- thank you for the photos and the updates. My old dog's first stay with Emily will not be her last.”
“Diana was great! She was very accomadating with pick up and drop off times. She keeps you updated with how you're pet is doing and sends daily progress reports/pictures. I would use Diana without hesitation. Thank you Diana.”
“Suzanne is incredible. We received lots of updates and she took very good care of Abby. We had to extend Abby's stay due to a family illness and Suzanne was very accommodating. Abby certainly enjoyed her stay with Suzanne and Koda. We would recommend her to anyone”
“Cara and her family had me completely at ease from our meet & greet through my dog’s stay. Cara shared photos every day and included notes - allowed me to remain confident in Fiona’s care. Cara is very responsive and excellent with communicating.”
“Steve, Keely, and their dog Sabra were warm and welcoming to Nyla. They were responsive each time we reached out, sent plenty of updates, and were diligent in following the care instructions we provided. We were very comforted that our dog was so well cared for by them and would recommend them to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“Ashley, Shayne and their boys are such a wonderful family. Ruby had a wonderful time with them this weekend. I can truly tell how much their care about their animals and treated Ruby just the same for the 4 days she was with them. Their fenced yard is perfect for pups to play in and we felt very comfortable that Ruby would be safe in their home. Ashley responded to any message before and during Ruby's stay promptly, and sent me photos, videos and updates throughout the day while we were away. I could tell Ruby was having a great time playing with their dog, Axel (he's such a sweetie), and she's come home suitably tired! I honestly can't fault Ashley and her family and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you!”
“Hannah was great! This was our first time leaving our dog, Taco, with her, and it was for 5 days. We were of course nervous leaving him with someone new for so long, but as soon as we walked through her door, we were reassured he was going to be in great care! She kept us updated with photos throughout, and it was clear he was treated like part of the family during that time. Taco is excited to visit again!”
“My anxious dog loves spending the night with Kim. She’s always excited when we get there and I can leave knowing she’s happy and in good hands. So happy to have a great sitter!”

“Greta was amazing. My travel plans were disrupted and shifted, and she accommodated and cared for my kitty. She went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend using her.”
“Althea takes the extra time to make sure the cats are getting the best care! When she found that our cat had thrown up she not only cleaned it all up, but checked the house for more and kept us updated.”
“Allyson cared for our dog for a full week. A prompt message was sent following each visit with a photo or two. We felt at ease that Allyson was going above and beyond to make sure Finn was comfortable while we were away. We are fortunate to have Allyson for our pet care needs!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, from smaller pets like dogs and cats when I was younger to today where I help care for goats and alpacas on my family farm. I also have a young puppy of my own that I’ve been training, so I’m very familiar with routine building and patience when it comes to animals!
“Olivia's gentle and calm presence even won over my timid Natasha! I loved the photo she sent showing both Boris and his "sisfur" coming out to greet her! She was right on time, and posted photos of her visit- and my kitties were well taken care of. It's great to have someone local I can contact for drop in visits.”
“We cannot say enough positive things about Valerie! We had a few rotations of sitters to cover the several weeks we were gone (family and a neighbor), and Valerie was definitely the most experienced of them all. Our one cat takes a pill daily, and while he takes it just fine for his mom, he wasn't taking it for the sitters. Valerie came up with safe, creative ways to get him to take his pill. She also left wonderfully detailed check-in notes and was very communicative. We'd highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that someone experienced and compassionate is taking care of your fur children!”

“Darrion was a great pet sitter for our dog, Baxter! She was easy to communicate with and very friendly & easy going. We appreciated the tour of her house & yard as well as a meet & greet with her dogs and cat upon arrival, as it made us feel at ease about leaving Baxter with her. The text and photo updates throughout the day were reassuring as well. Baxter enjoyed playing with her dogs and cat. He was tired but happy when we picked him up, so we were happy as well!”

I have raised and cared for my own pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles! I have three dogs of my own :) I am also a certified dog trainer through the Catch Canine Trainers Academy, and am enrolled with the Animal Behavior College Service Dog Trainer program.

Both of the puppies I raised went on to graduate as service/assistance dogs! I have walked dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, but I also worked for a dog walking business when I lived in Denver, CO. Working with people and their dogs is a passion of mine! I am currently working part-time for dog walking Monday through Friday, but I look forward to giving your dog(s) the quality time they may need during the day. When out for a dog walk, I keep all dogs leashed and with a solid collar/harness. I also choose walk routes that are safe for both the dog(s) and myself: preferably with sidewalks, wide roads with low vehicle traffic, good visibility, non-slick surface, cool enough for paws, avoid salted surfaces (when possible). I do my best to wear clothing with bright colors, to help with visibility as well.

From the end of June through the end of August, when I’m out of school, I’m much more available for weekly let-outs and boarding opportunities if needed. My goal is to keep your pet in their routine as much as possible, so they can be comfortable and things go smoothly! If boarding at our place- dogs have the accessibility to a fenced in yard, several acres of off leash trails explore, a private pond, & 2 friendly pups during their stay!
“Good coordination and discussion prior for 1st boarding - very helpful to ensure comparability. Nice set up for activities and doggie leisure. Blackjack came home happy and tired. Nice folks.”
“Michelle was great with our Enzo. She sent lots of updates with pictures and videos and I know he was well loved. The day we picked him up he slept all afternoon and was such a happy dog. Will absolutely use Michelle again.”
“We’ve brought our dog to Abby four times now, and every visit has been wonderful. She truly treats our dog like her own. He gets lots of love, playtime, and updates so we never worry while we’re away. Our dog gets excited the moment we pull into her driveway, which says it all! She is always going above and beyond. We love her and our dog loves her.”
“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”
“My dog had a great time hanging out with Brittany and her family. I got pictures of Lola throughout her stay which I appreciated so much and will definitely be bringing her back!”
“Emily is kind and caring. Funny too! We were impressed by her thoughtfulness with the humans as well -- thank you for the photos and the updates. My old dog's first stay with Emily will not be her last.”
“Diana was great! She was very accomadating with pick up and drop off times. She keeps you updated with how you're pet is doing and sends daily progress reports/pictures. I would use Diana without hesitation. Thank you Diana.”
“Suzanne is incredible. We received lots of updates and she took very good care of Abby. We had to extend Abby's stay due to a family illness and Suzanne was very accommodating. Abby certainly enjoyed her stay with Suzanne and Koda. We would recommend her to anyone”
“Cara and her family had me completely at ease from our meet & greet through my dog’s stay. Cara shared photos every day and included notes - allowed me to remain confident in Fiona’s care. Cara is very responsive and excellent with communicating.”
“Steve, Keely, and their dog Sabra were warm and welcoming to Nyla. They were responsive each time we reached out, sent plenty of updates, and were diligent in following the care instructions we provided. We were very comforted that our dog was so well cared for by them and would recommend them to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“Ashley, Shayne and their boys are such a wonderful family. Ruby had a wonderful time with them this weekend. I can truly tell how much their care about their animals and treated Ruby just the same for the 4 days she was with them. Their fenced yard is perfect for pups to play in and we felt very comfortable that Ruby would be safe in their home. Ashley responded to any message before and during Ruby's stay promptly, and sent me photos, videos and updates throughout the day while we were away. I could tell Ruby was having a great time playing with their dog, Axel (he's such a sweetie), and she's come home suitably tired! I honestly can't fault Ashley and her family and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you!”
“Hannah was great! This was our first time leaving our dog, Taco, with her, and it was for 5 days. We were of course nervous leaving him with someone new for so long, but as soon as we walked through her door, we were reassured he was going to be in great care! She kept us updated with photos throughout, and it was clear he was treated like part of the family during that time. Taco is excited to visit again!”
“My anxious dog loves spending the night with Kim. She’s always excited when we get there and I can leave knowing she’s happy and in good hands. So happy to have a great sitter!”
