Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hambden
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hambden
“Kelsey did a wonderful job watching our dog Zippy while we were away! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Zippy looked happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. 🐾 We really appreciated how reliable and kind Kelsey was throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We’d absolutely trust her with Zippy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter on Rover! 😊”
“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”
“Hayley was so easy to work with and took great care of our dog! She provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay! Our dog and hers got along perfectly. We will absolutely be using Hayley's services again in the future!”
“They helped me out TONS by watching my Shih Tzu for about 6 days. I’ve never used Rover before, so I was a little hesitant at first. Everything went smooth and they were flexible on drop off & pickup times since we drove all day. My dog seemed extremely comfortable @ pickup and we got several pics throughout the week! I would definitely book with them again.”
“When I saw the pictures of Susan and Kenny surrounded by all the fur babies, I knew they were special. Talking to them, meeting them, and having them sit with Peanut and CoCo proved they are. Think "Dog-Whispers." CoCo, my 10-month-old CavaPoo, is very much the Covid-puppy. She is still getting socialized with two and four-legged friends. After a bit of separation anxiety, she made new friends and had a great time from all accounts. I was very concerned about Peanut, my 12-year-old Chihuahua. She is very anxious around other dogs. She pretends to be fierce but is actually afraid after a bad encounter with another dog years ago. Susan and I spoke by phone before confirming their stay, and she eased any fear I had about leaving Peanut. Her knowledge and overall puppy wisdom were settling to my spirit. Susan and Kenny took excellent care of my two pups. They knew what each of them needed. They provided updates and pictures. I saw a picture with Peanut lying near another puppy, who was not CoCo, which spoke volumes. Susan provided me with helpful care information about my older pup when I picked up my girls. I can't recommend Susan and Kenny enough...only if they become too popular, they may not have room for future visits from Peanut and CoCo.”
“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“Kathy was everything we could have hoped for in a dog-sitter - attentive, experienced, patient, reliable. Our pooch has physical disabilities which require additional time and effort. Kathy rose to the occasion with both professional and gentle acumen. Her work as a nurse certainly added to her skills. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our fur baby with her and to whole-heartedly recommend her to all.”
“Pat and Paul welcomed Rosie into their home as if she was their own. She had loads of good play time and good care overall. Communication was excellent. Definitely recommend!”
“If I could give 6 stars I would. Daniel and Rachel were so kind and reassured me many times kayla would be just fine. Everytime they sent a photo of her, I had a smile on my face. I thank them so much for being so kind and caring to my fur-baby. I will be recommending them to anyone who needs a kind and amazing boarder for their own fur-babies.”
“Samantha was exceptionally kind and generous towards my little dogs. She made sure that they received their medication‘s, were showered with love, affection, and care, even sharing a bed with them. I’m exceptionally grateful for how she was able to give them their medications every day, and my dogs looked genuinely happy to be there. She was incredibly thoughtful and punctual with communication, and went the extra mile by staging photo shoots with my dogs every day.I’m grateful to Samantha and would gladly rebook her anytime.”
“Angela was AMAZING!!! Our dogs LOVED staying with her. She even slept with them so they would feel like they were at home. We would definitely recommend her and will use her again!!”
“Tara and Peter are fantastic! They treated Zoey like the princess she is and sent me pictures and reports about her everyday. They are very loving and caring people with a wonderful, fully fenced backyard that is a puppy paradise. I'm sure Zoey will be seeing them again!”
“This was the first time I used a Rover sitter and I couldn’t be more happier! Kyle was amazing!! He sent me pictures and kept in contact with me to let me know how things were going. He gave my dog constant attention and took him for walks. I truly think my dog misses him, which makes me very happy cause I know he was well taken care of by Kyle!!”
“Thank you Takia for taking such great care of Charlie! We appreciated the communication and updates throughout the sit. He was clearly happy after spending time with your family. Thank you again!”
“Beth was so kind to keep me informed on how Daisy was doing during her stay. Beth knew I was nervous about leaving my very spoiled doggy and kept me informed daily on how she was doing. I will use Beth again.”
“Mel was the absolute best with our pup. She provided pics of Cali during our time away and even bathed her! Picking up a clean puppy was a real treat and far exceeded our expectations. Cali got to go on lots of walks and was completely worn out when she got home, which is quite an achievement for a lab!”
“Wendy was really great with our dog who is not quite 2 years old. Our dog has a few challenges (slight separation anxiety and some unexpected aggression) and Wendy was confident and willing to work with her. Wendy also kept me updated throughout our week with texts and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

“Arrived promptly at requested time, provided awesome photos, and communicated accomplishments of visit. She also met with me before I left on vacation to meet my cat and see the lay of the land, so to speak.”
“I just moved to the Chardon area from out of state and needed someone to check on my kitty while I travel. Brittany was responsive throughout the whole process and left great pictures and updates.”
“Absolutely ZERO complaints or issues with Nicole. She watched our cat for a week during a recent vacation. My wife and I are super early risers. Typically waking up around 3am. We got lucky with Nicole, she has a similar schedule and was able to feed our cat early mornings consistent with our daily feedings. Our meet & greet was great as well. We have never used Rover and were really unsure what to expect. Nicole answered questions via messaging before scheduling a meet. A few hours before our scheduled time, Nicole reached out to confirm our appointment. Nicole asked many questions about our cat, home, plants etc. Asked if she should shovel snow, water plants, take garbage to curb etc. Nicole really put my wife and I at ease after talking with her. Nicole gave us great report cards with her daily check-ins. Always received multiple pics of our cat in our home. We are new cat owners and were nervous on what to expect. When we travel in the future, and will not be able to bring our pets with us, we will definitely rebook with Nicole. All said, Nicole is a great reflection of Rover and what they offer pet owners. We look forward to interacting with Nicole again in the future.”
About: I currently have a 4 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks. I am a teacher so I am available all of June-August to provide all day care for dogs or just walk dogs during the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where dogs are treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I follow each dog’s routine and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while they’re away from home.
“We have used Rachel several times to keep our cats happy while we travel. Her communication is excellent and the pictures we get of the cats always are a highlight. We have total confidence in Rachel. She is conscientious and kind, and the cats respond well to her attention.”
“Matthew came over prior to our vacation to get to know our house and our pet. He was communicative while we were gone, reaching out if you had any questions or issues. We sincerely appreciated his care and follow through for our cat Chuck!”
“We had Alexea for a long weekend. I would highly recommend her to watch your cat or dog. She took great care of my 2 kitties and the house. She sent us pictures of be our cats and watered all our plants outside. We came home to a perfect house!!”
“Joel is awesome. Super nice guy, good communicator, easy to work with & has taken great care of our pup. Gives solid updates at the end of each visit. He goes above and beyond while dropping in at your house. For example - our dog got into our garbage before one visit & Joel cleaned up all the trash off the floor. We appreciate the care he takes in looking after our pup as well as our home. Definitely recommend!”
“Our first experience with Rover was with Katrina, who provided house/cat sitting for 3 nights. We had a great meet and greet and I could tell by the questions she asked that she would be attentive to our cats and their needs. She communicates well with prompt responses to our questions, and she respected our home by leaving it as it was when she arrived. Her professionalism left me confident that she would care for our cats as if they were her own, and it is obvious that she values her clients. I feel fortunate to have found her and look forward to hiring her again.”
“Shawntel did a great job with my cat, Angus! He is typically a very shy and anxious kitty that doesn’t like company, but totally warmed up to Shawntel. I booked this somewhat last minute, but Shawntel still took the booking and even took the time to do a meet and greet before as well. I really appreciated the pics and updates as I was out of town as well. Would definitely rebook.”
About: I’m a dependable and caring cat sitter who understands that every cat has their own unique personality. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to feed, refresh water, clean litter boxes, play with toys, provide cuddles (if they want them!), and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We don't have a dog, but we do have 2 cats, a tropical fishtank, and backyard chickens. We reached out to Paula for check-in services over a long weekend trip we were so pleased. She had excellent communication right from the start, including special instructions for our little pet family, and she reached out politely in advance to remind me about some last minute details that I still hadn't confirmed with her. During the visits she took pics of the crew and gave an update both nights. (This was good, because Gizmo mewed that he didn't even get any food OR attention all the whole time, but I had photographic proof! Nice try, kitty!! You know how they are :) :) :) ) We will use Paula again! Thanks, Emily.”
About: I've been around animals since I was very young and love all of them. They are part of my family and will be treated as such while they're with me. I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. Working from Home is a blessing and has given me the flexibility to care for others pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a development that gives me plenty of opportunities to go for walks. As long as they come with a leash we will be walking.
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was old enough to. I grew up with German Shepherds and have spent years training, loving, and looking after them. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for the animals of friends and neighbors. I’ve been around animals my whole life, and giving them love and attention has always come naturally to me. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve! I have a large yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time with plenty of space to roam. For safety, I use a secure tie-out stake and lead, so your pet can play while staying within a safe area under my supervision. Pets stay indoors overnight in a cozy, clean environment where they’ll feel safe, loved, and cared for like family!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover; I have cared for my own pets most of my life, and did my first ever (non-family) pet sitting job when I was about 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. My husband and I currently have a dog and cat indoors, along with a pair of cats and fifteen ducks outside. My current pup, Abby, has taught me a lot about dog body language and behavior, so I'm better equipped than ever to interact with anxious dogs. I work full time, but can still provide house sitting services if you're comfortable with me being away during the day Monday-Friday, and can provide drop in and walking services early mornings/evenings during the week. Most weekend days I can be available all day. I'll be sure that I have and understand any instructions you have for your pets to ensure that they get the care they expect and deserve. I've also just completed a PetTech first aid and CPR class to be sure I'm able to keep your pets as safe as possible.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hambden
“Brandon is terrific! He is a dog and human whisperer alike, putting us and our dog at ease. Cleo was able to relax and join the pack allowing us to breathe a sigh of relief. We will be using his boarding services again for sure.”
“Leslie takes care of my big girl every Tuesday and Wednesday! She sends me update photos and videos all day which I appreciate and look forward to. It makes me feel at ease knowing she is in good hands when I am at work and that she is happy there!”

“Andrew provided excellent care for our precious dogs. He kept them exercised, hydrated and rested. He sent pics and updates and made us feel so relaxed about our decision. Will definitely have Andrew watch our pups again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog - sitting experience for our little Frenchie, Caillou! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in loving, attentive hands. We received thoughtful updates and photos; we could tell he was happy, comfortable, and truly cared for all weekend. Caillou came home relaxed, well cared for, and clearly adored - always the best sign. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was treated like part of the family, not just watched, but genuinely loved. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely trust them again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Amanda, Aaron, and their precious pups are wonderful! ???? Our 12 week old little girly has been socialized with all ages, shapes, and sizes of people, but not with other furry friends! Well, She had a daycare day today! She was nervous and shy at first, but then couldn’t care less about me when I came to pick her up!??♀️She loved playing and hanging out with new friends! Amanda updated me and sent me photos throughout the day! They have their house set up so they can separate the dogs if need be, and she took them out one at a time so as not to have them wrestling around in the wet mud, etc. I appreciate that! ☺️ I can tell Amanda and Aaron love dogs- we are so thankful! ?????”
“Sandra was a lifesaver. Accepted my emergency request at the last minute. Allowed me to pick up the dogs at an insane time of night (10:30pm). Her house is the perfect set up with a lovely fenced yard. She gets five gold stars!”
“100% would recommend S&J! I had an unique circumstance of coming from out of town for a family event and Sheila accepted my 8 month old pup, Reggie, for the day. She provided constant updates and made me feel comfortable leaving him for the day without them every meeting. Thank you so much!”
“Pogo had his very first day at daycare with Flora, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! He seemed so at home there as he dove right into the fun activities Flora had planned. It was such a joy to see him having an amazing time! The warm welcome we received was simply amazing. Flora really took the time to understand Pogo’s schedule, which made everything go so smoothly. Knowing he was in such great hands was incredibly reassuring. Flora was just a quick call or text away if we had any questions. As a sweet touch, she left us a handwritten note about Pogo’s day with her, which really put our minds at ease and showed us how much fun he had and the care she took of him. We can’t wait to book with Flora again in the future!”
“Susan & Kenny are amazing! They are so kind and loving. Our dog had the best play day with all his new friends. We highly recommend them and can’t wait to bring our boy back to them.”
“Austin watched Bentley on such short notice while we were in town for a short visit and it was the best decision of the weekend! He took such great care of our big dog and had our minds at ease the whole day. Sent plenty of updates and photos. I highly recommend Austin to anyone in need of doggy day care. Thank you again!”
About: ✨ Personalized Cat Care ✨ Hello, friends and fur babies! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have been a trusted Rover sitter since May 2023. While I grew up around dogs and volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, my professional pet-sitting journey has naturally led me to specialize in personalized, high-quality cat care. I’ve had the opportunity to care for cats of all personalities and needs, including multi-cat households, senior cats, and shy or anxious kitties. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed care routines, and providing patient, attentive support tailored to each cat’s temperament. My approach focuses on consistency, comfort, and enrichment. Each visit is intentional and unhurried, with thoughtful attention given to interactive play, mental stimulation, cozy companionship, and plenty of affection—always respecting your cat’s individual boundaries and preferences. If you’re traveling this holiday season and want peace of mind knowing your cat is receiving attentive, personalized care in the comfort of their own home, I’d love to connect. 🐾🤍 I am currently working full-time as a nanny and part-time as a bartender at a local restaurant. My schedule can be busy, but I am very flexible and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Please feel free to message me to discuss your schedule—I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve! I will care for your pet as if they were my own! I primarily offer drop-in visits and am highly detail-oriented and attentive when it comes to following instructions. My goal is always to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in the care I provide. For first-time bookings, a scheduled “meet and greet” is required. This helps prevent any miscommunication about expectations, ensures your pet is comfortable with me, and confirms that I’m a good fit for your family.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i had my first dog in the first grade. A white Samoyed. When she was 3 she has 7 puppies! I was obsessed with them. We sold 6 and kept one. So we had 2 big white Samoyed’s that I had the responsibility of raising and attending to. They were my whole world. I’m always the first to be asked to watch someone’s dog because if there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s loving on dogs. I now have a mini dachshund who i love so much. I have experience with puppies, big dogs, little dogs, and senior dogs. I’m able to train puppies and care for senior dogs who would need more help in their day to day activities such as meds, frequent potty breaks, and patience. I also had an internship with the lake humane society in high school and have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs/cats who could use some extra love. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 8 year old who is in school and 1 year old who both love dogs I figured i could help out some dog momma or daddies who aren’t able to be home with them all day. I am able to let your dog out every couple hours. And even take them for brief walks. We have plenty of dog toys to share, bully sticks (while supervised), treats, and extra dog bowls if needed. My husband is a realtor so is home most of the time if i am not. I crate our dog at home when we leave. I also have a camera just in case to make sure she’s okay while we’re gone. We moved so we don’t have a fenced in yard anymore. But had leads if they want to stay outside for a longer period of time. I also live next to my parents who have a fenced in yard where i could take them if you feel more comfortable with that.
About: Hi, I'm Daniel! I'm excited to care for your dog. I offer boarding, and house sitting, and I tailor every stay to your pet's normal routine. That means feeding on their schedule, daily walks (the longer the better!), plenty of playtime and cuddles, potty breaks as needed, and photo updates so you always know how they're doing. I've cared for dogs my whole life, from raising my childhood dogs as puppies through their senior years to most recently caring for my shelter boy for eight years until I said goodbye to him. In his later years he had heart issues, so I have hands-on experience giving both oral medication and topical treatments, and I'm comfortable watching over senior dogs who need extra attention. Nothing brought me more joy than the time I spent with him, and I'll treat your dog with that same love and care. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog is never alone for long stretches. I have a large private yard for play and a walkable neighborhood with sidewalks for daily strolls. I'll stick to their routine so they feel secure the whole time. Because I work from home and make my own schedule, pet care fits naturally into my whole day rather than being squeezed around it. I take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and potty trips, and there’s almost always someone around to offer attention and companionship. My flexible schedule means we can stick to your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest, and give extra care when a pet needs it. I follow your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest so they feel secure. In our home they’ll enjoy a private yard, a walkable neighborhood, and constant company. I never take dogs out without a leash and collar, and unless otherwise told, I'll make sure to keep your dog away from others.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Hambden
About: Since I was 11 years old putting dog walking flyers on my neighbors porches, I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. I still have people contacting me to cat or dog sit for them, and they love to recommend me to their friends. I love animals, and I know how to handle them safely and responsibly. From working with horses to dolphins, I have been around many different animals. I have owned reptiles and guinea pigs as well as dogs and cats, I have been working with and riding horses since 2018, and every summer since around 2020 I have gone to the Florida Keys and learned about training dolphins, I have aged out of that program now. I also volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger. I am looking for a job to use my skills with animals. I work at a veterinary practice for a large animal veterinarian currently on Wednesdays and Fridays. I am looking for another job that I can work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I can also do weekends if you are looking for someone who will stop by and take care of your animal for 30 minutes to an hour, but I like to have time on my weekends to spend with my loved ones, so the activities that take longer I would like the save for weekdays. I promise to love and take care of your animal as if it is my own until their favorite person comes back! I have my own reliable transportation, I can take your dog to a dog park if it is dog friendly, or I have a lot of land at my house. I also could take it to any walking paths. I know how to handle animals of all temperaments, and I am a good communicator and will keep you updated. I would love the opportunity to take care of your animal! I work at a veterinary practice part time on Wednesdays and Fridays and I generally start early in the morning around 7, and it’s a 40 minute drive. My hours can vary but I’m usually done sometime before 4pm. I can do drop by visits on those days early in the morning and after 5pm. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I can do dog walking, dog sitting, or doggy day care at my house! Anything that generally takes a decent amount of time I can do on those days. On the weekends, I can do house visits for 30 minutes to an hour, but I would like to keep my weekends open as much as possible to spend time with friends and family and go to the barn. I have my own cat as well as 4 other cats, an english bulldog, and a french bulldog owned by my boyfriend’s family that I live with. I generally feed and take care of my cats and the other cats, but I used to pet sit for them and took care of their dogs as well. As far as caring for animals in my own home, I live on 8 acres of land, some of which is a field blocked off by tree line that would be a perfect place to play. I also have a fenced in concrete and grass area for the dogs to use the restroom. I have crates in my house where I can separate dogs if needed. I also know of lots of places to walk dogs, and live by a couple of dog parks. As for care in a clients home, I have lots of experience. I can do litter boxes, feed and water animals, and give enrichment and treats if requested by the owner. I can also let dogs outside on leash, or in a fenced in backyard. I’d rather be safe than sorry, so I avoid taking a dog off leash if they do not have a fenced in or secluded area. I can take them on walks around your neighborhood as well. I am also willing to take care of exotic animals or livestock, as I have plenty of background in that as well.
“Matthew has been amazing with our stubborn lab! He has gone above and beyond to make sure he gets out during the day and has been really flexible with our changing schedules last minute. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sandy was awesome! She walked my pup, played with her, and fed her. She also sent pictures and stayed in contact. I really appreciate her helping me while I was out of town. Derby seemed so happy after being with her. Can’t say thank you enough!”
About: My goal is to make sure that pet parents like me have someone they can trust to help care for their babies. I have two years of experience working at a boarding/daycare facility where I was a supervisor for 1.5 years there, this means that I have experience working with dogs who need to take any type of medication- like insulin. I have been working at an animal shelter for 6 months where I’ve grown to learn more about the body language of dogs which has made me more confident in making sure the animals are comfortable and I can tell when they are starting to get overstimulated. I treat every fur baby like my own just as I would hope anyone else would mine. I am currently doordashing, actively seeking more work. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to do last minute drop in’s if needed! I have a fenced in property where your dogs would be safe from getting out and wandering around, I have 3 very social dogs who love to have friends but I could also keep everyone separated if that is what’s needed. I also have crates if your pet needs to go in one. If I were to be at my clients home I would make sure that your pets are able to go potty at a scheduled time either going in your backyard or bringing them on a walk to get everything out of their system. I can make sure that your pet will not have anything in their area that could hurt them or be eaten which could cause more damage as well.
About: Hello fellow pet peeps! I’ve had pets as long as I can remember- I’ve been lucky enough to have been a pet mama to small pocket pets, cats, dogs, reptiles (snakes and lizards), fish, a chinchilla named Jerry and even a small flock of chickens! I am a teacher, so I have time this summer to help out! I would love to offer my services to all the families needing someone to look after their furry (or scaley) family members. I can offer housesitting, but I am unable to stay over night due to my own family needs at this time. I can be flexible and would love to help if I can. I have a lot of experience taking care of different types of animals, but would always follow the specific directions based on the needs of your pet. I am comfortable with all types of pet care including medication needs, crating, potty training etc…

“Brandon was amazing with Arlo and really spent some time making sure he had fun. Great walks, played fetch and had some fun with him in pond. Arlo has a new friend and will definitely have them spend some more time together. Thanks Brandon”

About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to instructions, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and make sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I work entirely from home, which gives me a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, mid-day walks, and constant companionship throughout the week. My weekends are completely open for extended playtime, boarding, or overnight house sitting. When watching pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, double-check that all doors and gates are secure before and after walks, and keep in constant contact with daily photo updates to give you complete peace of mind. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly space where your dog's safety is my number one priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, I always keep dogs securely leashed during all outdoor bathroom breaks and walks. I strictly follow your feeding routines and provide constant supervision to keep them safe and happy.
About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds. I love canines and felines of all varieties, from the smallest to the largest! I am available to care for your pet(s) throughout the business day. Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.

When I pet sit I prioritize being there for the pets as much as possible so that your animals can receive the love and care they deserve! I am comfortable leashing and walking dogs, even ones that pull. If I do leave during the day I like to crate the dogs I watch so they have a safe space when I’m gone, and I make sure to keep the floor clear of any hazards that could cause a potential problem.

There are four of us! There is always extra support. My young adult children, husband and I support each other with specific clients in order to make sure pets always have proper care. My young adult children care for pets in their own environment in order to not disrupt routines. We stay as close to THEIR schedule as possible with little interruption.

“Kelsey did a wonderful job watching our dog Zippy while we were away! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Zippy looked happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. 🐾 We really appreciated how reliable and kind Kelsey was throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We’d absolutely trust her with Zippy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter on Rover! 😊”
“Hayley was so easy to work with and took great care of our dog! She provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay! Our dog and hers got along perfectly. We will absolutely be using Hayley's services again in the future!”
“They helped me out TONS by watching my Shih Tzu for about 6 days. I’ve never used Rover before, so I was a little hesitant at first. Everything went smooth and they were flexible on drop off & pickup times since we drove all day. My dog seemed extremely comfortable @ pickup and we got several pics throughout the week! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“If I could give 6 stars I would. Daniel and Rachel were so kind and reassured me many times kayla would be just fine. Everytime they sent a photo of her, I had a smile on my face. I thank them so much for being so kind and caring to my fur-baby. I will be recommending them to anyone who needs a kind and amazing boarder for their own fur-babies.”
“Tara and Peter are fantastic! They treated Zoey like the princess she is and sent me pictures and reports about her everyday. They are very loving and caring people with a wonderful, fully fenced backyard that is a puppy paradise. I'm sure Zoey will be seeing them again!”
“This was the first time I used a Rover sitter and I couldn’t be more happier! Kyle was amazing!! He sent me pictures and kept in contact with me to let me know how things were going. He gave my dog constant attention and took him for walks. I truly think my dog misses him, which makes me very happy cause I know he was well taken care of by Kyle!!”
“Thank you Takia for taking such great care of Charlie! We appreciated the communication and updates throughout the sit. He was clearly happy after spending time with your family. Thank you again!”
“Mel was the absolute best with our pup. She provided pics of Cali during our time away and even bathed her! Picking up a clean puppy was a real treat and far exceeded our expectations. Cali got to go on lots of walks and was completely worn out when she got home, which is quite an achievement for a lab!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Our puppy is very anxious and very stressed when he’s separated from me. I get really concerned when I have to leave him. Karma did great with Bear and was very communicative about his day’s with her to me which helped my separation anxiety too! She worked with him on crate training and potty training as well during his 5 days there. She was also super flexible with our pick up and drop off. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“We are returning customers and when we were planning for an out-of-town trip, there was no question of where to go for boarding for our pup. I was confident that he would be in good hands and enjoying himself in a comfortable and fun atmosphere while we were away. We are very thankful for her great care--thanks again, Katie!!”
“Kaitlynn you as great with Noland. I could tell she took great care of him because he was very happy when I got him back. She is very accommodating. She sent lots of pics and updates. Thank you again!”
“Thank you Brittany for caring for our girl while we were on vacation.She was so relaxed and calm when we returned gave us piece of mind to see the picture of her relaxing with your family. "The Fleshman Family "”
“Austin provided outstanding care and attention to our Golden Retriever, Oakleigh, while we were on vacation last week. Daily pictures and texts showed she was comfortable and right at home with his family and 2 dogs. When we had flight changes due to bad weather, Austin was responsive and incredibly accommodating keeping her an additional night. Oakleigh came home happy and tired from all the ball chasing, which is saying a lot for a Golden. This was our first stay and definitely won't be our last. I would recommend Austin without hesitation.”
“Our puppy of 9 months really enjoyed staying with Alayna & Adam! In fact, it seemed he made himself right at home with their 2 much larger dogs. Great photos and a great time! Communication was excellent! Looking forward to our next stay!”
