Personalized care for your dog or cat - Francestown
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Francestown
“Rose had a great overnight with Jodi. Jodi was super nice and made Rose comfortable in a new space. We got updates and photos so we knew Rose was doing well. Rose hasn’t been boarded very often so we are very happy to have someone to look out for her. We’ll definitely use Jodi agin.”
“Abby took great care of my Jack Russell mix rescue. Her farm was a great environment for my dog, who needs a lot of interaction and stimulation. Abby sent us great photos of our dog on the farm, which we really appreciated. I will definitely be leaving my dog with Abby again!”
“I've never had to board my dogs before and was very nervous. Rachael answered my many questions, explained everything I needed to know. Her family is wonderful with my dogs and I finally feel I've found someone caring and trustworthy. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Used Jo twice. Both her and her husband are very kind and welcoming. Finnick seems to enjoy their company too. Jo will maintains communication throughout the stay with photos. Overall we will continue to use Jo as long as she provides her services and her schedule is available for Finnick's stay”
“Leaving our dog with a sitter through Rover for the first time was very nerve wracking but Joshua reassured us from the meet and greet to the very end of our vacation. He sent us updates everyday and communication was top tier. I would book with Joshua again. Highly recommend!”
“Bielka was wonderful! Kaiser loved staying with her! She is very easy to communicate with and very kind! She understood Kaiser’s health issues and took them seriously. Kaiser loved the walks through the woods and the snowy paths!”
“Andrea was very friendly and professional. She took care of Bailey like he was her own. She sent me updates of his stay frequently. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for puppy or doggy care. She was amazing!”
“Thank You to both Hailey and Kristopher for the super great care of Layla. Thank you for the photos and updates and most of all thank you for being understanding when I had a situation at work and had to extend the stay.”
“Adriana and her whole family was very accommodating and patient with our dog who gets separation anxiety. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. I would use Adriana again and would recommend her. Thank you!”
“Nataliya was great about sending lots of pictures each day. Our dog had lots of outside playtime and looked so happy in the videos - even pictures of him snuggling on the couch. He was in good hands. ?”
“I’d give 6 stars if i could. We left Sully for an extended period of time for the very first time, which of course came with parental nerves and concerns (especially since my dog has IBD, so he needs the extra care and attention) Ashton was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and understanding of our nerves, but his care for Sully quickly dissolved our nerves of leaving Sully with how well he cared for him. Ashton sent us morning/evening updates, pictures, and took care of our dog as if he was one of his own (so much so that we could tell Sully was sad to leave him!) Ashton is an amazing pup care giver, i’d recommend him 10/10 and will choose him 100x over next time we need a sitter (and i know Sully will be so excited to see him again)”
“Amanda was great, she took such good care of Caju, and was flexible about the drop off which was really helpful for us. Amanda and her partner were very friendly, communicative and made sure Caju had a good time while he was there, they have a big fenced yard for the dogs to run around.”
“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”
“Donna was a great person to leave our pup with while we were away. She took great care of our dog and sent plenty of update pictures and messages. Our dog is pretty nervous around new people but she was great at letting him have his space until he was comfortable. I would definitely recommend using Donna as a rover.”
“Jie and her family were lovely hosts and took such great care of my pup! I was appreciative of the last minute meet and greet just to make sure it was a good fit for my little one and it certainly was. All the pictures and videos were wonderful and they kept her busy! I will certainly rebook in the future!”
“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”
“Rebecca was personable and gave updates during our pup’s stay. Rebecca engaged our pup with socialization and training reinforcement. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her stay and came back safe and sound.”

About: I have owned a Labrador Retriever, Jack Russell and two German Shepherds and have dog sat many others. I have had twelve years of experience with dog sitting. I will treat your dog like family with lots of love, spending time with them and many walks and adventures to dog parks around the area. I will give them lots of treats. While spending time at your home will treat it as my home with keeping it clean and able to do little stuff around the house such as watering the plants and picking up the mail with no extra cost. I have a flexible schedule, which I am able to pet sit at last notice. I have a dog name Juno who is a three year old Labrador who is friendly and gets along with all dogs. I would like meet and greets just to know the dog before hand and the dog knows me and Juno before we welcome them into our home! We want to create a welcoming home to your dog by not being a total stranger watching them, helping your dog with adjusting as their family is away. I currently work as a nurse so on my days off I am usually at home hanging with Juno and going on walks or playing in the uard I have a fenced in yard share with the neighbors and it is a six foot fence and locks in the back. I will always be outside with the dogs to make sure they are safe and happy.
“Jordan has ALWAYS been so good with my girls. I love having her watch over my girls and as long as she is able she’ll always be my first choice to care for my girls. She sends updates, and is so communicative and caring for them. Cannot stress how much your kiddos will be loved when she is watching them.”
About: We enjoy walks outside and hiking on the local trails in the area. Our home is very welcoming to pets of all sizes. We have had 8 dogs at one time staying here in size from an extra large Swiss Mountain Dog to a tiny Chihuahua. We love playing with the pups in the yard and ensure they get the exercise they need. We also make sure there is always someone home with to make sure they are taken care of. Our Greater Swiss Mountain dog is extremely friendly with people and dogs and loves making new friends. He is very active and loves to play. We love pet sitting and look forward to meeting new pets from the area. I’m currently working from home. We usually start our day with a 1-2 mile local walk. Eat breakfast and start our day. Midday we play in the yard. We do not have a fenced yard, but we are secluded back from any roads. Dogs are always monitored when outside. We can do a tie out if necessary.
About: I have been surrounded by animals all my life, big or small. I have experience with training dogs for simple tasks as well as potty training and experience with puppies. I have dog sat for families and always receive great remarks about their experience working with me. My schedule is flexible to sudden changes and need for pet care. I will be around all summer then will be heading off to college August 18th. I am available weekdays for multiple hours as well as the occasional weekend. I will work my best to support your schedule and needs. I will treat your house with respect and follow any specific instructions provided. A house should be a safe space for an animal and in order to maintain that safety, I will follow the regular routines for your pet as well as double checking safety everytime I enter your home.
“Tori was a huge help with watching our two cats for the week. She was punctual and provided great feedback on how the cats were doing. We’ll be using Tori for our future trips. Thank you, Tori!”
“Wynter was wonderful! She was very communicative and gave great details about our boy and his behavior the whole time we were gone. She even left the nicest note for us to come back to encouraging us to reach out if we had any questions or concerns.”
“Callie was phenomenal and we would highly recommend her services. She was professional, reliable, committed, communicative, and friendly. We will happily hire her again. Thanks Callie!”
“Brooke as absolutely amazing with my cat! Very accommodating and the communication was excellent. The daily pictures and check in made my first time being away for an extended amount of time that much easier. I would not hesitate to book with Brooke again!”
About: I will care for your dog/cat farm animals ike they are my own. I've grown up with dogs. I have two rescue pups from the south and a rescue cat Kevin. I am a stay at home mom so I am available once my daughter leaves for school in the morning until she gets home . I’m very active so I’m happy outdoors walking and hiking with your pup… I also care for horses currently so there’s no animal too big or small. Animals make me happy and satisfy my soul. There is nothing I wouldn't do to make a client and a pet happy.! I’m home most afternoons so I have the time to walk/ hike or just hang out and spend some time with your furry friend . I love to see a tired happy dog- it shows me I’ve done my job as a caregiver. I care for any animal as if they are my own. Which means they will be spoiled and loved !
About: Growing up, I’ve cared for multiple cats and developed experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable caring for playful, shy, indoor, outdoor, and senior cats, and I understand that every cat requires patience, attention, and individualized care. Whether your cat loves constant interaction or prefers a calmer environment, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Francestown
“Outstanding as always! Jakobe has been going multiple times a week for months now and we both absolutely love it. He loves the outside fun, couch snuggles and Abby and her family. They treat him like their own and I couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Jodie is absolutely amazing! Booked her last minute for two days of daycare for my puppy and she excepted right away. Her updates and communication throughout the day is absolutely awesome. I could not recommend a better person to watch your pet. I will be continuing to use her for all my daycare and boarding needs! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!”
“Ashley is pleasant and knows what she is doing with these dogs! She has an ideal yard and home and was willing to show me the environment. She sent me pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Ashley again!”
About: I love animals! Currently I have a mixed breed (mostly French Bulldog). Dog(s) are let out on a run or a leash to keep chickens safe. I have 2 adult children so these days animals are my main focus. My life revolves around family.... human and animal family! I am hoping to keep busy caring for animals in my home and / or yours. My dog is friendly and submissive. I do have a small fenced area if the dog run/leash walking are not suitable. My dog doesn't use a crate but I have plenty available all different sizes.
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life. I've had dogs of varying breeds and sizes (2 Wheaten Terriers, 2 Vizslas, Dachshund, 3 Yorkies, Hound mix, Wire Fox Terrier) and had cats most of my life too. I currently have one dogs of my own, a Wheaten Terrier named Sundae who loves everyone. I am currently working from home and live right on the rail trail where I can take your precious pup on walks throughout the day. I have ample experience with puppies, special needs dogs (meds dispensing including injections), and nursing and pregnant mommas to be! I have extra crates and plenty of expen fencing I can put up at any time! I am currently working from home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets. We sometimes go on trips or hikes, but mostly we stay close to home. If your pets are friendly they will get along well with my girl Sundae. If not, as a former show dog exhibitor, I am well versed in the art of "crate and rotate," or if needed "cozy bedroom and rotate." Safety and cleanliness comes first, always.
About: I've been a lifelong dog lover (with the occasional cat in the mix) and actively foster for a rescue. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Science so your pets will be more than well taken care of. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle breaks, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep them happy! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company! I can easily accommodate crating if needed. I’ll make sure your dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved.
“Eloise and otter had a blast at Rachael’s. They came home happy and tired after a fun day playing with her pups. Rachael was really easy to communicate with. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Amanda is truly amazing with dogs and clearly has a deep love for them. She took such great care of my puppy, treating her like her own. Communication with Amanda was easy and wonderful. She kept me updated throughout the day by sending multiple photos and videos of my puppy. One of the best parts was that my puppy got to socialize and learn from her two wonderful dogs. My puppy was always so excited to go back to her place and didn’t even want to leave! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Heather was an amazing help to me with last-minute notice. This was the 1st doggie day care for my 2 girls, and she took such good care of them. I recommend her highly.”
“This was my first time ever using rover as a customer and I am VERY impressed!!! We were in the area for a few errends, and didn’t want to leave our pup home for 8hrs😂 I got AMAZING pictures, she’s super sweet, and bonus points for taking my request THE MORNING OF! Simba didn’t even want to leave 😭 he had so much fun and I think will sleep the entire 3hr car ride home!”
“Traveled to Medford for a family reunion and didn't realize dogs were not allowed at the lake we were going to. Thank goodness for Lindsey!! It was so last minute, but as soon as I picked up Daisy after a long day with Lindsey, she fell asleep in the car!! She seemed to have had so much fun, and Lindsey was very accommodating to my crazy pup. Thanks again Lindsey!”
About: I have not been an official sitter before, but I have been a dog owner for 20 years and know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. Dogs are family, and I understand the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We do not currently have any fur friends at home, so we would be honored to share that love with your dog. I provide a calm environment, pay attention to routines and needs, and communicate clearly so you can feel confident while you’re away. Because we do not currently have pets at home, we have room in our routine to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and companionship. We can be intentional about feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and we know how important it is to keep dogs on a routine that helps them feel safe and settled. We know dogs are family, so we care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. Our home is currently without other pets, which allows us to offer a calm environment and focused care. We will follow your instructions closely, pay attention to your dog’s comfort and behavior, and communicate clearly so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Jie was very responsive and easy to communicate with. My dog had such a great time being at Jie's house, meeting the other dogs, observing the chickens, and even doing some agility in the backyard. They are definitely dog lovers, we feel fortunate to have found Jie. We love knowing our dog is safely in good hands, and having a great time to boot!”
“Susan and John were great! We have a senior dog and a puppy and both felt right at home with them during their daycare visit. Thank you both for being our pup’s home away from home while we were on vacation and couldn’t take them with us on our day trip!”
“Colleen was amazing! She took such good care of my 2 1/2-year-old golden doodle, Cody. It was a holiday weekend and Colleen was extremely accommodating to me so that I could visit with family and have peace of mind knowing that my dog was well cared for. Colleen kept me informed with Videos. It was clear to see that my dog was having the time of his life! Colleen has two dogs of her own and there were other dogs there to play with my dog Cody as well. I highly recommend Colleen if you want exceptional doggy day care.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom to four kids, I’m home and available throughout the day—meaning your pup will always have company, love, and attention. Caring for pets is second nature in my home. Between my three dogs and four kids, there’s always love, play, and activity to go around. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, pets easily become part of our family rhythm and daily routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention—just as if they were my own. I also keep homes tidy and respect any specific instructions, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Heather is fantastic! The Meet and Greet gave me and my dog a chance to meet Heather. She was warm and loving toward Lulu (dog) and genuinely interested in what is best for my dog. On the day of the walk Heather was flexible and punctual . I worry about Lulu when I'm away, but felt at ease knowing that Heather was going to do a great job with her. Heather took Lulu to her favorite spots and she was really happy after the walk. I will definitely use Heather again. She is one of the best walkers I've had over the years. I HIGHLY recommend Heather.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Big dogs, small dogs, medium dogs. Usually 2 at a time. Our last dog passed in 2020 at age 11. In November 2022 we adopted a 10 month old blue tick coonhound. Her name is Pickle and she’s the sweetest. She’s super shy and submissive and we haven’t had any issues with her meeting other dogs, but we do want to ensure she is comfortable before booking anything and we require a meet and greet prior to confirming any bookings. When it comes to training, we use positive reinforcement and gentle words. In fact, the last dog I was training we hired a trainer to come in, since it had been a while for me, and the trainer said I was doing a great job and didn't think there needed to be any additional visits, unless I wanted them. I work part time, Tuesday’s and Wednesdays about 4 hours in an office, along with bringing kids to and from school. My work is very flexible and I am able to make changes as necessary. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of toys! We provide positive reinforcement and lots of cuddles! My children are relatively dog savvy, we have a 3, 5 year old, and a 8 year old. The 3 year old absolutely loves animals and will try to snuggle as much as possible.
“We love Emily and are so lucky to have found her. She does a great job caring for our crazy animals and is very reliable. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I have taken care of neighbors, family, and close friends' animals. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and personalities. I have had to administer medication via shots to animals before and feel comfortable in those situations. I plan on going to veterinary school and have a strong interest in animals and making sure they have fun. I am currently working an internship completely online as well as taking an online summer class. I am able to stay anywhere I need to take care of animals. I have not much else that can interfere with me accompanying the animals. I will take the animals on walks and play with them. I want to make sure they are having as much fun as possible so they cannot worry about anything.
“Emily was quick to respond, great at communicating and took amazing care of my two boys. I needed her for a last-minute request and she came through and did not disappoint. She was super professional and even took my dog swimming! Thanks for giving my boys the same care I would. highly recommend !!”
“Heather was wonderful with my Golden Retriever Nell. She was reliable, always on time, and consistently took her for hour long walks and swims on our local horse trails and in our local pond, which was just what Nell loved. She took cute photos of their adventures to post for me, and kept her safe and content. She has been a real asset and I would highly recommend her. Nell is a young and energetic dog and Heather had no difficulty managing her and providing good care.”
About: I currently have two cats and two dogs that I absolutely adore and consider part of the family. I've also pet sat for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. After caring for a sick fur baby of my own, I'm comfortable giving medications and helping pets who need a little extra attention or medical care. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. ❤️ I’m currently a full-time college student completing my classes online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Because I can plan my coursework around my commitments, I’m able to be dependable and accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m more than happy to provide in-home visits to care for your precious pets. Before any visits begin, I like to meet with families to discuss any questions, concerns, or special care instructions. It’s also a great opportunity for your pets to get comfortable with me and for us to make sure we’re a good fit. My goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, confident, and at ease while you're away.

About: Hi there! I love all animals, especially dogs, and can't wait to meet your wonderful pup(s)! I grew up taking care of horses, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and dogs from a young age, and have always had at least 2 dogs in my household my whole life. My family currently has two Tibetan Terriers (Midnight and Teddy)! I walked dogs through Wag in New York City while at school and have done sittings through them as well. Pet parents have given me perfect ratings for being extra caring, reliable, and having great distances on walks! I have completed over 50 walks through Wag in over 10 zip codes around New York City, Southern New Hampshire and Middle Tennessee. I am skilled in senior dog care, puppy care, oral medicine administration and work well with dogs who pull, high energy dogs, and shy dogs who need extra attention to feel comfortable with a stranger. My week to week schedule varies, but at the moment I am mostly available Sundays - Fridays! I am very much not a morning person, so I accept walk bookings starting in the late morning. I take care of your pets in the comfort of your home, they will get walks and frequent potty breaks, and have lots of cuddles and play time. I do come and go to run errands, and have other work some days, but try my best to make sure your pup(s) are not alone for long!
About: Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m based in New Hampshire and have been working with animals for several years. I have hands-on experience both personally and in a shelter environment, giving me a strong understanding of a wide range of animal needs and behaviors. I currently have two cats of my own and grew up around dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for both—as well as other types of pets. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to help with everything from daily care to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you need a quick check-in, extended care, or just an extra hand, I’m here to help! I work full-time on a second-shift schedule (Thursday through Monday) in Peterborough, but I’m still available for housesitting and pet care with a bit of coordination. Because my schedule is a little unconventional, I may require additional support for certain bookings, but I’m always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pets. At this time, I prefer to provide care in clients’ homes, as I currently rent and have a cat who isn’t accustomed to dogs. This allows me to give your pets the attention they deserve while keeping them comfortable in their own environment.
About: Pet Care Experience — From Horses to Cats to Dogs My life with animals began long before it became a profession. At 14 years old, I started caring for horses — feeding, grooming, riding, exercising, and treating them as family. Horses taught me early lessons in patience, responsibility, and the importance of daily, consistent care. They also showed me how powerful the bond can be when animals are treated with respect and love. By 16, that passion grew into the dog world when I had the opportunity to be mentored by a close friend who was a Police K9 handler. That mentorship changed my life and set me on a path that would define my career. I began training at a K9 school in my hometown in New Hampshire, where I learned the foundations of K9 behavior, obedience, care, and handling of working dogs. I poured everything I had into learning the craft. After a year of dedicated internship and training, I taught my first class at just 17 years old. From that moment, I knew this was more than a job — it was a calling. Over the years, my experience grew into becoming a Police K9 handler in New Hampshire, followed by serving as a trainer and instructor for the NH Police K9 Academy through the Working Dog Foundation. I worked daily with high-drive working dogs and their handlers, focusing on discipline, safety, trust, and performance in real-world environments. After completing my full-time police career, I continued my K9 journey overseas, spending eight years in the Middle East providing private K9 handling and instruction in support of Army operations and Private Security detachments. Working in demanding and high-stress conditions further refined my skills and reinforced the importance of calm leadership, consistency, and deep respect for the dogs that depend on us. At the same time, I never stopped helping everyday families with their pets. Training and caring for family dogs — from energetic puppies to older companions — has always been just as important to me as working with professional K9 teams. I believe every dog deserves structure, patience, and loving guidance so they can thrive as well-behaved members of the family. Alongside my deep dog experience, my connection to cats comes from being a devoted cat owner. My wife and I shared our home with two amazing cats for about eight years, caring for them daily and loving them as part of our family. Living with cats taught me to appreciate their unique personalities, their need for gentle handling, respect for space, and the importance of calm, consistent routines — especially in a home shared with dogs. While my background with cats is personal rather than professional, it comes from genuine love and hands-on care as a pet parent. Through every chapter — horses, dogs, and cats — one thing has never changed: I treat animals as family. Today, with 27 years of experience centered around K9 training, handling, and care, supported by a lifetime of loving animals of all kinds, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I work with. Whether your dog needs structured care, your cat needs gentle attention, or your pet simply needs someone who will treat them like their own, I’m here to provide that level of trust and commitment. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just choosing a sitter or caretaker — you’re choosing someone who has built his life around animals and who will care for yours with the same respect, patience, and love I’ve given my own. I am currently able to accommodate week days and most weekends to assist our communities. I can be available pretty much any time during the day as I own my own company that is newer to the industry it is supporting. 🛡️🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment For me, caring for animals has always been about more than just meeting basic needs — it’s about earning trust, creating calm, and treating every pet with the same respect and love I give my own. With decades of experience around animals — especially working dogs in high-responsibility and high-stress environments — I’ve learned that pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and cared for with consistency. Whether it’s a high-drive dog, a shy cat, or a senior companion, I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routines, and comfort level. In my care, your pet will have: ❤️ Genuine compassion and patience 🏡 A calm, structured, and loving environment 🦴 Proper exercise, enrichment, and rest 🍽️ Attention to feeding routines and health needs 👀 Close supervision and awareness at all times I believe animals should never feel rushed, ignored, or unsafe. I keep their spaces clean, secure, and peaceful, and I handle every interaction with calm confidence so they know they’re in good hands. Because of my background with working dogs and my life with pets like Aries, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else. I don’t take that lightly. When your pet is with me, they’re treated as part of my family — with the highest level of care, respect, and responsibility. Most importantly, I listen to what matters most to you, learning your pet’s daily routines and needs so I can mirror your care and make their time with me feel just like home.
About: Hi, my name is Molly and I love dogs and cats and would love to help make sure yours get taken out, get fed and get their litter cleaned up while you're away. I have had my golden retriever, Kona, for just over 9 years and he is my best friend. (He recently passed away from liver cancer) I now have 5 cats and sometimes foster for a local non-profit. One of my cats needs a daily oral medication, so I have experience dispensing liquid medication to cats and have also given shots to diabetic cats before. I’m happy to check up on your feline friend while you’re away or house sit and water your plants as well. I miss my Kona man so much, so I’ll spend as much time with your canine as you would like with some extra playtime and cuddles to get my dog fix! I’m in school full time in the fall but have full availability over the summer. When house sitting I won’t be able to be there 24/7 but I’m happy to do an overnight if you need it. I may need to work for 3 hours but never more than that. I have 5 cats at home correctly, so I’d prefer to pet sit in your home as bringing in more pets to our already loud house will be a little chaotic. I follow best practices when walking on the leash and will follow all your care instructions. Be prepared for tons of pictures from me!

“Abby took great care of my Jack Russell mix rescue. Her farm was a great environment for my dog, who needs a lot of interaction and stimulation. Abby sent us great photos of our dog on the farm, which we really appreciated. I will definitely be leaving my dog with Abby again!”
“I've never had to board my dogs before and was very nervous. Rachael answered my many questions, explained everything I needed to know. Her family is wonderful with my dogs and I finally feel I've found someone caring and trustworthy. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Used Jo twice. Both her and her husband are very kind and welcoming. Finnick seems to enjoy their company too. Jo will maintains communication throughout the stay with photos. Overall we will continue to use Jo as long as she provides her services and her schedule is available for Finnick's stay”
“Leaving our dog with a sitter through Rover for the first time was very nerve wracking but Joshua reassured us from the meet and greet to the very end of our vacation. He sent us updates everyday and communication was top tier. I would book with Joshua again. Highly recommend!”
“Bielka was wonderful! Kaiser loved staying with her! She is very easy to communicate with and very kind! She understood Kaiser’s health issues and took them seriously. Kaiser loved the walks through the woods and the snowy paths!”
“Andrea was very friendly and professional. She took care of Bailey like he was her own. She sent me updates of his stay frequently. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for puppy or doggy care. She was amazing!”
“Thank You to both Hailey and Kristopher for the super great care of Layla. Thank you for the photos and updates and most of all thank you for being understanding when I had a situation at work and had to extend the stay.”
“Nataliya was great about sending lots of pictures each day. Our dog had lots of outside playtime and looked so happy in the videos - even pictures of him snuggling on the couch. He was in good hands. ?”
“I’d give 6 stars if i could. We left Sully for an extended period of time for the very first time, which of course came with parental nerves and concerns (especially since my dog has IBD, so he needs the extra care and attention) Ashton was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and understanding of our nerves, but his care for Sully quickly dissolved our nerves of leaving Sully with how well he cared for him. Ashton sent us morning/evening updates, pictures, and took care of our dog as if he was one of his own (so much so that we could tell Sully was sad to leave him!) Ashton is an amazing pup care giver, i’d recommend him 10/10 and will choose him 100x over next time we need a sitter (and i know Sully will be so excited to see him again)”
“Amanda was great, she took such good care of Caju, and was flexible about the drop off which was really helpful for us. Amanda and her partner were very friendly, communicative and made sure Caju had a good time while he was there, they have a big fenced yard for the dogs to run around.”
“Donna was a great person to leave our pup with while we were away. She took great care of our dog and sent plenty of update pictures and messages. Our dog is pretty nervous around new people but she was great at letting him have his space until he was comfortable. I would definitely recommend using Donna as a rover.”
“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”
“Rebecca was personable and gave updates during our pup’s stay. Rebecca engaged our pup with socialization and training reinforcement. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her stay and came back safe and sound.”
“Amanda clearly loves Fern and always takes incredible care of her! She sends a perfect amount of updates and pictures. Fern gets excited whenever we get close because she knows she's going to have a great time!”
“Kourtney was great with our pup, Carl. Carl is an energetic guy and Kourtney provided all that he needed in his 9 day stay. Kourtney’s communication with us before and during his stay was professional and timely. We would use Kourtney’s services again 💯.”
“Josie had the BEST time at KC's! She is a fan of all dogs and KC's dogs were no exception. Josie also had the pleasure of befriending another dog who was staying with KC at the time so it was basically dog heaven for our pup. KC's home is clean and doggo proof, her pups were very friendly and you can tell she has a passion for dogs. Her backyard is also spacious and has plenty of room for fun. I felt very comfortable leaving Josie there and Josie was worn out and happy when she got home, which is always my goal!! Also we got AMAZING pictures -- I am seriously going to print some out and frame them. I'm so glad to have found KC and I will definitely be using her again next time we need a sitter!”
