“Mattey, my dog, loves Stephanie! His new best friends are Ryder & Max, her dogs. Stephanie made our trip wonderful because she let me know how Mattey was doing and sent lots of pictures!”
“Vicki is beyond amazing as a dog sitter. My lab has so much energy and the day he came home after a week with Vicki and her other dogs, he did nothing but sleep! While at the sitters he took great advantage of the dog friendly swimming pool and large yard. Vicki sent me pictures everyday and let me know what adventures my dog was experiencing. I highly recommend Vicki - she loves dogs!!! We will be a repeat customer ?”
“Thank you Deanna and Maui for letting Remy hang out with you guys!! It’s so nice to not have to worry about how Remy is doing when we’re out of town! Deanna takes such good care of Remy and he has a blast playing with her dog too!”
“Gail was wonderful. Great communication and updates on our dog throughout the week. Loved seeing photos of him playing and settling into his new environment. Rusty's new "home" away from home. :) So nice to get away from the traditional kennel setting.”
“Athena was very responsive and understanding of Bella’s needs. She also kept in contact with me and even sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future.”
“It was the first time I left Kayla with anyone. On our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with Patti and knew she would take good care of my girl. Patti took excellent care of her. I booked with her because she only takes one pet at a time and she had a fenced in backyard. Patti sent me photos of Kayla fetching her ball which is her most favorite thing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“Doug was so thoughtful and kind with Milo — he truly enjoyed his stay at Doug’s home. I highly recommend him with my eyes closed! Very friendly and attentive, he always kept me updated about my puppy. Always willing to walk him and take care of him — thank you!!! Without a doubt, I’ll be reaching out again to leave my furry one with him!”
“Aimee did an incredible job taking care of my dog! From the meet-and-greet we knew it would be a great match, but she sent lots of photos and gave my dog so much love I didn’t worry for a second while I was on vacation for a week. I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”
“Our mini labradoodle, Freddie, loves his time at his “vacation home” with Kristin and her family! We appreciate that they care for him the same as they do their own pets and we don’t have to worry about him while we are gone!”
“This was Penny's third stay with Nathan & Jennna, and our experience again was great, they are thoughtful and attentive, and their communication is outstanding. I know Penny is in good hands and a loving home when she's with them, and recommend them highly, thank you”
About: I have helped take care of friends' and neighbors' dogs/ pets for several years. I am very responsible and dependable. My husband and I have previously fostered dogs as well. I am currently working full time but have some time on the weekends to love on pets! My (human) girls would also love to help your fur babies play until they're worn out! We have a large yard that would provide plenty of room to run around. We do not have a fence so we would not be able to safely care for a dog that would take off.
“I would recommend melody to anyone. I felt comfortable leaving my Scooby Doo while going off on a weekend family trip. He had a good time. I would use her again in the future as well.”
“Aricka and her husband were absolutely lovely! They took such incredible care of my dog and kept me informed on how she was doing. Highly recommend them and I know Bella will be excited to go back! ❤️”
About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”

“Lexi is kind, caring, and friendly toward our cats. Lexi is on time and follows our cats feeding schedule. Lexi follows her agency policy and sends us pictures and updates on their each time she visits. Lexi ensures are cats are feed and played with. These are cats who do not warm up to strangers and will not interact with strangers. But Lexi had the cats wanting belly rubs. Lexi has become our go to cat sitter/watcher.

About: I have cared for my two cats for several years, so I understand the daily needs and routines that keep cats happy and healthy. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing a calm, loving environment. Last year, I helped save a stray cat and safely took it to the animal hospital, which shows I’m attentive and know how to handle unexpected situations. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I treat every pet like my own and am committed to making sure your cat feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and patient with our shy, older cat. Kept us informed and sent photos and detailed updates after each visit. Her care and attention put me at ease while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Kristi and will ask her to visit again when we travel.”
“Sydney is absolutely an Amazing Care giver!!! My Cats instantly liked her! My instructions for my cats care were followed preciecly! She's smart and an excellent care giver I highly recommend her! I'm tempted Not to leave a feed back because that means more customers would love her service and less service for my cats lol, But I'd rather see Sydney receive the feedback that she deserves. My cats are safe with her 😊!”
“Shannon came out for a meet and greet a month before my trip. We got along really well so I booked her to take care of my 3 cats while I was out of town. One cat is 17, the other two kittens. We booked twice daily visits for the 9 days I was gone. Shannon was so amazing! She spent time with my babies, played with them, made sure my 17 year old ate. Checkers actually gained weight while I was gone. This never happens! I am so beyond pleased with how Shannon took care of my cats and my house. She went above and beyond actually sweeping the litter off the floor and taking the trash out. Shannon even got my skittish kitten to be comfortable around her which is huge. She kept me up to date with texts and pictures. I can tell she cared for my cats like they were her own. I know my cats and they felt at home with her. I have already told her future sitting dates. Shannon will be my sitter for all future needs. A huge thank you to Shannon for helping me enjoy my time away knowing my babies were taken care of.”

About: Hello! I am in Apple Creek. I provide full-time services for you and your dogs. Boarding in my home, daycare, dog walking/hikes. I have had 7 jack russells over my lifetime, rescues and hospice care. We have a Chihuahua Jack Russell mix who is 1 year old and gets along with everyone. I hike a lot and would love to walk your dog. I can accommodate special needs, meds and special diets. I will always respect your feeding preferences. I have completed all training classes from puppy to obedience and certified therapy dog. I am a bit of a dog whisperer and can probably help you train yours if you have any unwanted behaviors. I am flexible so let me know how I can help you. My goal is to make this my full-time gig. Book away! I love to do boarding if you need to go out of town. We will take your dog on walks and give lots of snuggles. I prefer smaller dogs and the older the better. Senior dogs are my favorite . I will spoil them and send them home. I have a fenced in yard. I do have two crates and can crate if needed but this is not a training method I have ever used myself. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and can sleep in bed with us if they want. I will only feed what you bring and respect all of your feeding preferences. Special diets are welcomed.
“Stephanie takes such great care of my little girl! I can tell because she was excited to run up to the front door each day! I will absolutely continue to use Stephanie as I’m in the area for work.”
“Communication was flawless. I felt safe knowing that they would be well taken care of. My dogs came home happy after spending a day with Josh and his two precious dogs. Thanks Josh.”
“You will love having your pet stay with Vicki. She was very caring for our Maya. She sent pictures to assure us while we were gone. Do not hesitate to book your day care with her !! Thanks Vicki !”
“Connie is amazing! She made sure to keep me updated and send pictures while I was at work. She is easy to work with and helps accommodate your needs. I work long hours and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. She worked on breaking bad habits and teaching my dog how to walk nicely on a leash. Will definitely be contacting her again for future needs.”
About: I have been a responsible and loving dog and cat owner my entire life. Now that I am retired, I can help you care for your pets. Since I am now retired my schedule is totally free and flexible. I am available most days and times. I hope I am available when you need me. If you are local, I am available to provide daily visits with your pet which can include a walk, playtime and feeding. I can also spend the night at your home, if you prefer. If you live farther away, I would need to stay in your home to care for your pet. I am responsible, reliable and trustworthy!
About: I have raised my dog from birth and now in his senior years. I enjoy petting and walking and the bonding . I work from home so they will had a good companion to be wit them while you're away.

“Our pup Maggie was in great hands with Kirsten J. We have never left her alone or have had her boarded with anyone until now. Communication was terrific and Maggie came home happy and exhausted from playing all day long 🙂 we will definitely have Kirsten watch her again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Brooke. I recently adopted a new 11 month old puppy (Oscar) with severe separation anxiety. Oscar absolutely loved his time with Brooke and her friendly dogs and children. I was very nervous to leave Oscar alone with a stranger because he is extremely attached to me and will almost scream if I go outside without him, but he was perfectly happy when I arrived to pick him up. Definitely will be working with Brooke again!”
“So good with Maple's puppy energy, her home is so dog-friendly with an amazing back yard for safe wandering and playing. So grateful my puppy can have a great time with her new friends at Kathy's home while I am working!”
About: We have experienced owning a 10 year old bullmastiff, two huskies, and a dog that we rescued from the river while we were kayaking. We consider every dog our child. I work from home for the last 6 years so the dogs have all day to play inside or outside. There is always someone at home with the dogs at all time. I have a fenced in yard and 3 very friendly dogs to keep your dog(s) company. I can also crate your dog(s) if needed. There is also a very nice dog path near my house if you want me to walk them.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn't just a job—it's my passion. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, cats, fish, birds, rabbits, small animals, and even some farm animals. My parents bred AKC Golden Retrievers, which gave me hands-on experience raising and caring for puppies from a young age. I also have experience caring for senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I'm a proud mom to an amazing 11-year-old son who loves animals just as much as I do. We also have a 35-pound Mini Goldendoodle named Scooby-Doo, who brings so much joy to our family and inspired the name of my pet care business. I'm comfortable administering medications and following each pet's individual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. During house sitting visits, I'm also happy to help with light household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, taking out the trash, and keeping an eye on your home. I believe every pet deserves exceptional care, love, and respect. Just as importantly, I believe great pet care is built on trust, communication, and reliability. My goal is to build lasting relationships with pet parents by providing dependable, compassionate care and treating every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm excited to share that I've officially made pet care my full-time career! I recently left my full-time job to focus on growing Scooby Doo Animal Care because caring for animals is truly my passion! 🥰 I'm a proud mom to an amazing 11-year-old son and a male Mini Goldendoodle named Scooby-Doo. I've been caring for animals since I was young and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, small animals, and farm animals. My parents bred AKC Golden Retrievers, giving me hands-on puppy experience, and I'm also comfortable administering medications and caring for senior pets with special needs. Now that pet care is my full-time focus, I have much more open availability! If you're looking for dependable, compassionate, and experienced care for your pets, I'd love the opportunity to help. Thank you for supporting my small business! I provide the best care to the animals I care for from playing with them with their favorite toys, taking animals for walks or giving them attention and cuddles.

“Shannon was amazing. Not only did she watch the animals I requested but she checked in on my other animals as well. My two dogs are a bit feisty but she handled them no problem. She even made me aware of a behavioral concern and also gave advice on how to address it. I was a first time Rover user and am highly impressed. The peace of mind the service gave me plus the exceptional care that Shannon gave my animals is beyond words.”
“Kristi did an excellent job with Bo! He was very excited to see her and had a fun walk with her and slept well after. :-) She did a great job at keeping me updated throughout the walk, and I was very pleased overall!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up in a home with 3 dogs at all times. We have had a range of small pups, and also big/high energy ones like golden retrievers and huskies! I did obedience classes and shows with my Yorkee Poo for 4 years. I have provided dog sitting for close family friends for many years now, including walks, feeding, bathing, transporting (for a dog breeder), and boarding. I also raised five husky puppies, so I have a lot of experience with young pups, too. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine because I work from home while starting my own business, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins and walks any day of the week. I grew up with pets as a daily part of life, so caring for them feels familiar, natural, and genuinely fulfilling. Whenever I am caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow any specific direction given by the pet owners. Whether that is s feeding schedule, regular walks, cuddles, or crating, I always make sure to understand a client's expectations and take care of their animals with the same love and care that they would.
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and I truly have a passion for caring for them! I have pet sat my friends and family's dogs and cats overnight as well as simple potty breaks or walks. I have experience working with horses so I am a very patient person and I am good with all different mannered dogs. Additionally, I currently work at a farm so I am gaining experience with a wide variety of animals each shift! Currently I am a full-time student but I work Rover into my daily schedule! My priority will always be providing top care for your pet. When in a clients home I make sure to care for their home just like I would mine. I keep the home clean and make sure that everything is just as it was when the client left it. You can be sure that your pet will be in a safe and happy environment.
About: I've taken care of animals for most of my life. I'm an animal lover of all kinds. I've had cats, dogs, hamsters, & birds. Nothing makes me happier than to see a happy animal! Always looking forward to meeting new furry friends! I will update the Rover calendar with my availability to help you care for your animals. :) Happy to feed your animals, make sure they have plenty of water, take them on walks or to parks as necessary. Play time is something both of us would enjoy. Additionally, I will provide updates with pictures if you would like.
“Sydney takes great care of my golden retriever Carl! She is a huge help when myself and my partner are at work all day. Carl loves her and has a great time whenever she comes to let him out!”
About: I love to take dogs for walks and I have two of my own, as well as four cats and a Chinchilla. In the past, I have also had Guinea pigs hamsters. As of right now, I am between jobs, So I have an open flexible schedule, and I’m able to be available at short notice. I love animals and will love your fur-babies like they are my own! If you have any questions, Please don’t hesitate to send me a message! I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies! I’m available most days in the morning or the the afternoon due to being in between jobs at this time. I also have weekend availability. My backyard is fenced in where there is plenty of space for my dogs or any dog to be able to run away and be free!
About: I have 2 dogs and a cat and take care and exercise them. I help my mom while she's sick walking and bathing her Pitt with severe separation anxiety. I love animals and have a soft spot for gentle giants. I am a stay at home individual and love to walk during warm days and take dogs to parks and play fetch. In the spring and summer months my dog goes to the dog park twice a week and gets his exercise. I wake up and take my 2 dogs bathroom and then they get breakfast and play then go out to the bathroom at lunch and get a treat when brought in. They play and lay around then at 3 go potty again and I feed them a little more to hold til dinner then at dinner they get one last feeding then at 9 go out one last time before bed.
About: Retired vet. I’ve cared for and been around dogs/cats for as long as I can remember. I also worked at a pet store during my 4 years of high school. I currently work part time Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Sometimes not all three of those days. Work is on Burbank and close to home. We currently have 2 dachshunds, and looking to have a corgi in the near future. We take them out for daily walks, and have an open area with leads.
About: I've lived with dogs since I was 3 years old and have cared for them from my early years to present day. I have experience volunteering for an animal shelter, bathing and grooming dogs for a Samoyed breeder, dog walking, working with Alaskan huskies as sled dogs, pet sitting, and gentle reinforcement of basic training. I have now been with Rover for about a year as well and have worked hard to build a good reputation as a pet sitter with this platform. For dog walking and drop ins, I am currently able to practically travel out no more than 15 miles from my home. If you live farther out, and would like to use my services, I ask that we factor in fuel costs. If you are open to it, I'd love to bring my dogs, Bailey and Milli, along for pet sitting. Bailey is a sweetheart and a gentle giant who loves other animals and gets along with everyone. Milli is 1 and is still learning "how to dog". She is incredibly sweet and friendly as well! We are currently working on her excitement around new dogs, which she expresses in barking when she first meets them, as she is very eager to make new friends. She normally calms down immediately once they start interacting. Both Bailey and Milli are pretty submissive and share toys and food well. For first-time clients, I highly recommend we do a Meet & Greet with your pet in their familiar environment prior to booking, walking through where their supplies are and what their routine is. During this time, we also discuss your pet's temperament, quirks, any health issues, likes/dislikes, how they get along with other animals/people, and if they have any anxieties for me to be mindful of. With your permission, I would like to bring healthy treats to the Meet & Greet so that your lovely pet and I can start off on the right paw. Once the booking is made, I ask that you leave me written instructions in a visible place, such as the coffee table or dining room table, prior to my drop-ins or sitting with your pet. I will care for your pet according to your instructions, taking additional precautions for their safety and wellbeing as the situation calls for. I will also factor in any details we discuss during our Meet & Greet into how I provide care for your pet and encourage you to ask me questions or make any additional requests before, during, and after the booking so that I can provide you with my best service. You can expect me to be a consistent communicator, to send you at least one photo of your pet per day (usually more), to write a written description of your pet's drop-in or sitting for that day, and to leave your space clean and tidy. For the protection of your property, I also am mindful to bring in any mail and packages left at your door. Last, and most importantly, I ask that you leave me the contact of your pet's urgent care veterinarian so that I may take care of any potential emergency swiftly. It is my priority that your pet is always safe and that you are given peace of mind.

About: I have been around dogs throughout my entire life and I love dogs very much! I know how to care, feed, play, clean and love dogs the proper way! I will make sure that I treat your dog with as much love and care as you treat them and with as much love and care as I treat my own dog! I am a teacher during the day, so I will be available to walk, play, or visit your dog any day starting at 5pm. If you need me to house sit for you and your dog, I can happily do that on the weekends at any time! I am an animal lover through and through and I hope I will be able to care for your dog, or dogs, soon!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since 2018. I am a natural animal lover and have taken care of more than 10 dogs, some of which have had health issues. I am experienced with giving dogs medicine and would love to help! If you have a fenced in yard that makes things easier but if not, no worry! I have held dogs on leashes many times, and don’t mind doing it again to go for a walk or let them potty! I’m hoping to make this my part time job as I am in college, but luckily I am online for that so, I can easily put you and your animals first! Even if you do not have a fence, I promise to keep your dog safe! I’ve had my share of dogs that love to pull and tug and not one has gotten away from me!
About: I have owned and cared for many different animals including dogs, cats, fish, goats and many more! I also am working towards getting my animal science degree at the University of Findlay! Making sure the pets are getting all of their needs is my number one priority! Providing the proper care the animals need on a daily basis is important to me and making sure the animals are doing their best is essential! Ensuring that I know all of the needs of the animal is important to me so that I can provide the best care for the animals. Making sure the animals are given the appropriate care and knowing they are healthy our my main priorities. Also giving them plenty of time to play and get exercise is an important part of caring!

“Mattey, my dog, loves Stephanie! His new best friends are Ryder & Max, her dogs. Stephanie made our trip wonderful because she let me know how Mattey was doing and sent lots of pictures!”
“Vicki is beyond amazing as a dog sitter. My lab has so much energy and the day he came home after a week with Vicki and her other dogs, he did nothing but sleep! While at the sitters he took great advantage of the dog friendly swimming pool and large yard. Vicki sent me pictures everyday and let me know what adventures my dog was experiencing. I highly recommend Vicki - she loves dogs!!! We will be a repeat customer ?”
“Gail was wonderful. Great communication and updates on our dog throughout the week. Loved seeing photos of him playing and settling into his new environment. Rusty's new "home" away from home. :) So nice to get away from the traditional kennel setting.”
“Athena was very responsive and understanding of Bella’s needs. She also kept in contact with me and even sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future.”
“It was the first time I left Kayla with anyone. On our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with Patti and knew she would take good care of my girl. Patti took excellent care of her. I booked with her because she only takes one pet at a time and she had a fenced in backyard. Patti sent me photos of Kayla fetching her ball which is her most favorite thing. I will definitely use her again.”
“This was Penny's third stay with Nathan & Jennna, and our experience again was great, they are thoughtful and attentive, and their communication is outstanding. I know Penny is in good hands and a loving home when she's with them, and recommend them highly, thank you”
“I would recommend melody to anyone. I felt comfortable leaving my Scooby Doo while going off on a weekend family trip. He had a good time. I would use her again in the future as well.”
“Aricka and her husband were absolutely lovely! They took such incredible care of my dog and kept me informed on how she was doing. Highly recommend them and I know Bella will be excited to go back! ❤️”
About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“This was our second time boarding with Miranda and her husband, Jimmy. Fantastic experience with them both times! Miranda gave us daily updates with pictures and from what we could see in the pictures, each dog had a wonderful time and lots of fun playing with their doggies and kitties. Also super good to see lots of doggie/human snuggling! Miranda even trimmed our dogs toenails for us, which was so helpful! Highly recommend them for any pet care needs you have! Will continue using them again in the future!”
“Josh was great and Arnie did really well with them. It was our first time leaving him and trying this service out, and Josh made us very comfortable from the beginning at the meet and greet. He kept us updated over the weekend and sent lots of pictures. And you could tell he made it a point to interact with Arnie as much as he could. We will definitely use him again.”
“Wow!! Me and my wife, and my dog are glad to have found this family! Very fun and attentive and caring for your animal! My dog loved his stay I’m sure. Definitely recommend”
“It was Dasol's first time with Alicia, so we were worried whether she would be okay at an unfamiliar environment. But Alicia made every effort to make Dasol feel more at home, contacting us on a frequent basis. It was comforting to know that Dasol was in good hands. Thank you, Alicia!”
About: I love any type of animal and will provide it with the best care possible. We would go on long walks and play all day! Big, small, medium you name it I will love your dog or cat! I have been around dogs my whole life and would love to care for yours. I am currently a nurse in the area and use Rover when I am away at work so I would love to give back to the community and watch other pups while you are away! I know how difficult it is to find a trustworthy and reliable sitter and always want to treat your pups like my own! I will make sure to treat your home and pet with respect and follow all instructions left to properly care for your fur baby and make sure they get everything they need!
“Tiffany was very kind and answered all our questions promptly. I’m sure our pup, Odin, loved having other fur babies to play with. We will definitely use Tiffany in the future.”
