“I am very satisfied with how she treated Marley, it was like he was part of their family, and that makes me feel very happy. I will definitely consider her watching him again. And I would recommend anyone to drop their fur babies off and good hands I wasn’t able to keep in contact due to not having service but when I did receive service, I had multiple pictures come through my phone and I felt great thank you again. I really appreciate you treating my buddy like your own”
“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“Nathan had a blast! Because normally he gets scared going with strangers but the second day he didn’t even bother to look back. They are amazing with Nathan and great with communicating about him as well.”
“Ashlee greeted our dog first at a “meet and greet” at a local park and our pup was calm and comfortable. During our trip, Ashlee updated us on how her first 24 hours went and how she enjoyed playing with the other dogs. On our way back, approaching the Dayton area, she was kind enough to give Pippa a bath. Ashley’s provided kind, observant care to our young dog while we saw family out of state and we couldn’t be more pleased.”
“We were very pleased with Amber. She was very attentive to Bubba. Her girls made bowties for him. Amber sent lots of pictures which set me at ease. Looking forward to many more stays.”
“Daisy and her family are wonderful! They just loved on Sadie like their own. I think Sadie suffered a little withdrawal from playing with the other dogs for a week when she came home. She missed her buddies and her home away from home. A week later she is going back for another overnight stay!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“I can not recommend Karen more than enough. She took care of my two dogs for an overnight stay and they were well taken care of. They came back tired and relaxed and you could tell they had the time of their lives. She integrates your dogs into her pack and makes sure everyone gets along. She sends tons of pictures so you always know what your pups are up too. She responds quickly and put a lot of my fears about leaving my dogs with a stranger at ease. I immediately felt comfortable with her after our meet and greet and the dogs love her too. The dogs can’t wait to go back!!”
“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“Nicole took such good care of my boy Sunshine. She went above and beyond to help him spend his first week away from me including helping him with eating and sleeping anxiety. She sent me messages and pics or videos every day to let me know how he was doing. He was clearly having a ton of fun playing with her sweet pups in her lovely and safe back yard and her cozy home. She is a true dog lover and Sunshine came home happy and exhausted! I will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“There is a reason I always call on Katherine when I need someone to watch my fur baby; she always does an excellent job and my dog Onyx likes going to her place. She spoils him! ❤️”
“Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!”
“This was our 1st boarding our(Golden) Tucker & our (Golden doodle) Bella. What a great place! Everything went fantastic! We will definitely go back again when we need to. They are animal lovers and very nice people! Thank you so much ❤️”
“Leaving our fur baby with someone new was hard, but Paige put us at ease at our first meet and greet. Jax seemed to have a blast and was completly wore out when we picked him up after his stay with Paige. I will leave Jax with Paige again, without a doubt. Thanks Paige!”
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”

“I couldn’t be happier with LaShonna! If you ever get a chance to have LaShonna watch your pets, take it! The animals are so well cared for, they are upset when we come home. Haha”
“Jenna gave our kitty, Lilly, excellent care while we were gone for a week! Lilly just loves Jenna and you can tell the feeling is mutual. I highly recommend Jenna!! 😻😻😻😻”
“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”
“Anna took great care of my cat who doesn’t do well being left alone. Katy was calm and happy when I returned. Anna kept in touch and sent pictures. My house was clean when I returned. Anna’s awesome and I highly recommend her if you looking for a cat sitter.”
“Jayson was great with our high energy Australian shepherd while we were gone. He threw the frisbee with her every day even though it was freezing cold! He was very reliable and easy to work with!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was born. Have always been very passionate about them and their care. I have 2 of my own! Let me treat your cats as I would treat mine, nothing but love and respect! (and maybe an unhealthy amount of treats)
About: I’ve lived in houses with pets my whole life ranging from dogs of all different breeds, cats, bunnies, and goats :) I have a lot of love for animals. I enjoy spending time with them and getting to see their personalities. I’m currently working a seasonal job so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I have a flexible schedule so most days I should be available! I take extra care and consideration for every owner that allows me to sit in their house. I follow the instructions given to me as well as leave everything the way I found it. I wash and put away everything I used during my stay. And of course I will give your pets all the love I have!!🩷
“Aryn did an amazing job taking care of our two cats. She followed directions to the letter and gave excellent reports and pictures on each visit. One cat doesn’t make up to people easily but took to Aryn the first day. We highly recommend her to others and will choose her for our future travels.”
“Isabel was the best sitter we’ve had in a long time! Our cat was so well loved, I think he started to miss her! Followed instructions wonderfully, communicated with us through every visit, and provided detailed updates on him (with tons of pictures!!). she’s definitely our only choice next time we need a sitter!”
“Alicia is fantastic! We left for an extended vacation and was very comfortable leaving the care of our fur babies with her. She gave us daily updates with pictures. Will definitely request her for future needs.”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!
“Angel is very good with dogs, caring and empathetic to their needs. She was also friendly and helpful to us personally as out-of-towners. Hers is more of a boarding situation with a separate building and individual kennels with several dogs present. This was intimidating for both of our smaller dogs, especially our rescue, but they calmed after a bit. Angel did put them in a back kennel away from the other dogs which helped.”
“We are beyond grateful that Katherine took in our pugs for a couple hours! It was last minute. As soon my pugs were inside they felt comfortable walking around by themselves. We immediately felt relieved and trusted Katherine and her husband. They were wonderful. They updated us and our pugs loved them! Their house was dog friendly too! We appreciate everything they did for us💙 100% recommend💙💙”

About: I have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’ve also had plenty of experience dog and cat sitting, and I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and energy levels. During visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I work part-time as a counselor, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. On days I don’t have client sessions, I have even more daytime availability and can often accommodate additional or last-minute visits. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits and do my best to stay consistent with your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I take time to understand each pet’s personality—whether they need extra playtime or a calm, gentle approach—and always make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space.
“The best sitter! I highly recommend Kristol for doggy day care. My shy, little puppy was right at home at Kristol's. I received pictures throughout the day of my sweet pup playing and relaxing. She even helped my girl with her potty training. Trusting someone else with your furbaby can be so stressful! But I completely trust Kristol, and cannot say enough good things!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!
“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”
“Mollie was wonderful with our 6mo old Bullmastiff puppy! We were passing through during a road trip. We wanted a day to go to a museum, and our puppy needed a day of good exercise. Our dog had a great day with Mollie, her hubby, and their dogs. We are so grateful we found her and highly recommend her!”
“Elya sent plenty of pictures of the stay, my sam looked genuinely happy as he was receiving all the belly scratches he could ask for, was flexible with pickup and drop off day of as I was not sure when I originally booked, she followed my care instruction to a T has been one of my best rover sitters yet will definitely use again! Thanks so much from me &sam again!”
“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”
About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong passion for animals and a dream of growing my own pet care business. I’ve had animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and needs. I also have experience administering medications and caring for special-needs pets, so your fur baby will always be in safe and loving hands. My home is perfect for active, social dogs! I have high-energy pups of my own who absolutely love making new friends and playing with other animals. Because safety is my top priority, I only accept dogs that are friendly, social, and well-behaved around other dogs. Your pup will enjoy tons of supervised playtime on our fully fenced-in acre of land, including separate fenced areas for independent play and relaxation if needed. I believe every dog deserves love, attention, enrichment, and lots of fun while you’re away. I also offer free light grooming for overnight stays if requested, and I love making homemade pet treats for my furry guests! Animal rescue and helping pets in need has always been close to my heart, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a safe, loving, and fun home away from home I am a stay at home mommy so I have so much free time on hands to care for your babies ! I have a golden retriever that loves to play! I let all animals out as needed so works perfectly for your fur babies potty needs ! I’m available any time and any day I have multiple fenced in areas and a heated pet area in the garage to also bathe your babies in if needed! Your furry pets are welcome in my home during day and at night they will be put in my spare room to sleep safely at night
About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game
“Arlissa saved the day for us last minute, and was absolutely fantastic. Our pups had a blast and were so well cared for. We were also sent (professional quality) update photos and video throughout the day!”
About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2025 started year five of me owning and operating a pet care company that is listed as an LLC in Ohio, and I have loved every single second of it! While on a walk your dog will be my sole focus. I will be sure to select a different route (if possible) during each walk to help them get familiar with their area, but to also help stimulate their brain with the different scents. If you have multiple dogs that need to be walked separately, for any reason, I will rotate my routes so that each dog is exploring a different area instead of where their fur sibling just was. I am happy to go as fast paced, or as leisurely as Fido wants to take our time together. My typical drop-in (play date) visit consists of the following: enter and greet your beloved furkid who will be totally excited to see me (hello treats!- only if it's okay with you first), and then take them outside to potty. While outside I am happy to play fetch, or any other activity they're interested in. Once we come back in I check the water/food situation, and am happy to take care of any medical needs that may be required at this time from giving pills to injections. There's time for a snuggle, or a game, and then it's one last potty break before I head out for the morning or afternoon. I send detailed Rover cards after every visit, and will include as many photos as possible. For boarding and daycare we are located on 30 acres in Tipp City, with 6 private fully fenced dog parks to choose from. We have 10 kennels, and pups are kenneled during enrichment and overnight with an on-site team member who stays with them. Disney Channel + YouTube classical music plays while pups rest in their kennels between private park playtime and playgroup. You can find out more information by looking at Blockheads and Bows Pet Services LLC online! Dog walking/pet sitting is my passion and full time career. Even while having a steady schedule I have the flexibility that allows me to get to your VIP quickly while maintaining a high level of quality care for all of the animals I care for. From how your pets eat their meals, to sleeping arrangements I try to keep things as normal as possible for them. During my time with your pet they have my undivided attention.
About: I am an Art grad student and currently working on my thesis at home. I have a 3 years old dog named Mischa, who is the best part of my life. I will provide everything for your dogs, the same as I provide for my dog. He is 90lb, so I am pretty okay with the huge dogs, when I take care of them I take them to a walk at least twice a day, pulse plays with them at home. If the owner is okay I would love to take them to the dog park with my dogs. I provide the same environments for your dogs when you are not around for a short time. I hope I get a chance to meet your dog. Thanks, Safa
“Aubrey really helped us out with last minute daycare after a death in our family. Our dog Maggie got along well with her two terriers. She updated me with pictures and texts through out the day. Thank you Aubrey!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a teenager and I cannot imagine life without at least one. I have seen an uptick in requests from family and neighbors to take care of their furry friends when they are away and am always happy to do so. I am dedicated to making sure that their pets feel as comfortable in my home as they would in their own. I currently work from home the majority of the time and my wife works from home full time. Between the two of us we have enough flexibility to let dogs out in the yard to play or take them on short walks. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own, Smokey. If house-trained, I like to let dogs have the run of the house. I will crate dogs if I have to leave the house, at least until I get a sense of how they do on their own.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
About: I have always grown up with at least one doggie at home and I have recently adopted an orange rescue cat who is now one year old! If any of my family is out of town, I am trusted to take care of their pets. This includes taking them on walks, accommodating to specialized diets, and spending quality time with them! I currently am enrolled in classes for the evening and will work part time. My schedule is very flexible as I am not scheduled daily! I insure each pet will receive care tailored to their unique needs. I am careful to double check all doors are closed and gates are locked. If any special rules are required to keep your pets comfortable, I will be sure to see them through.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds and ages since I can remember. We had cats growing up and they were the light of my life. Every day I looked forward to coming home and knowing they would be there waiting for me to give them all the love. Starting in high school is when I began to get familiar with dogs as well. Neighbors, friends, and family have all taught me so much and then began relying on me to love and care for their fur babies. Which included anywhere from walking, feeding, grooming, and overall well-being. I've done quite a bit of house sitting recently and have no problem with cleaning when needed as well. I can promise you that your fur babies will be treated as if they are my own. Animals have a special place in my heart, they become more than pets, they become family and I intend to treat and care for them as such. I will be starting classes again soon, which are online so pet care fits perfectly into my daily/weekly routine. I'll be able to create a schedule that works well for school and being able to give the best attention I can to pet care. Currently I am able to care for pets at the client's home if it is for dogs. For cats special arrangements can be made for me to watch them here at my home. I have quite a bit of experience with house/pet sitting for current clients. Starting with a visit to the clients home to go over anything they would like to discuss, meeting the pets, and I also bring some questions of my own. To make sure I have all my bases covered. My main goal is to make sure the clients feel safe with me taking care of not only their pets but also their home. For cats here I have plenty of room for a cat to roam and play with plenty of sunlight and a cat box and food/water bowls if the client does not want to transport their own. We do have an older husky (incredibly friendly and quiet), but my room is on the second floor and has a door that I can shut to keep the downstairs (where our dog spends 99% of his time) closed off if your cat does not like dogs.
About: I have 8 years experience training dogs from puppies to leash reactive dogs. I am comfortable medicating animals and caring for special needs. I saved a client dog recently when I recognized she had eaten one of her toys before coming to stay with me. I rushed her to have emergency surgery and then cared for her after surgery until her parents arrived back from their cruise. I am all about pet care. I am home daily with the exception of a couple varied hours to go out to walk or train dogs. I have 5 fully fenced acres, with a secure fenced backyard just for dogs. My family has 4 dogs of our own, 1 is a livestock guardian who lives outside fulltime(his choice I promise). The dogs and I often go play in the fenced pasture when the horses and chickens are secured. Everyone is always monitored and supervised for safety. Meals are always fed with dogs separated for prevention and safety.
About: My wife and I have grown up around animals and traveling and know the importance of making sure our four-legged family is well taken care of when out adventuring. We love walking, hiking, running, and staying active while also relaxing on the porch and enjoying the fresh air! We are happy to welcome your four legged family into our care and love while you are making memories! My wife and I both work an educational schedule with plenty of free time in the evenings and during holiday's. While we spend our days caring for students, we are always happy to come home and spend plenty of time with our furry guests! We have a quaint house with a lot of space and not many things for pets to get into. We have a couch with a nice window for sunbathing and the ability to crate pets if needed in a side room with a camera and noise machine. We also have two SUVs to transport pets to parks for walks and play, we do live near multiple parks and within a quiet neighborhood.
About: Hello! My name is Aryn and I am 23 years old. I grew up with dogs for most of my life, and I have also cared for cats for over 4 years now! I love all animals and would love to meet your furry friends! I’m currently doing pet care and other small jobs full-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry friends! I’m available for house sitting, walks, or drop-in visits 7 days a week. I’m also an early riser, so if your pet is too, I’d be a great fit for you! I have plenty of room for dogs to run in the fenced in backyard. I also live in a great neighborhood to take your pup for a walk, and with your consent we can even go to the dog park nearby! At your home, I will follow any routines you have with your pets for feeding, potty, and play time.
“Isabel did an awesome job communicating her time spent with Gemma! I loved seeing where they walked and getting a report on how Gemma did:) loved getting pictures throughout the day:). We will definitely ask Isabel to care for Gemma again!”
About: I am an Art grad student and currently working on my thesis at home. I have a 3 years old dog named Mischa, who is the best part of my life. I will provide everything for your dogs, the same as I provide for my dog. He is 90lb, so I am pretty okay with the huge dogs, when I take care of them I take them to a walk at least twice a day, pulse plays with them at home. If the owner is okay I would love to take them to the dog park with my dogs. I provide the same environments for your dogs when you are not around for a short time. I hope I get a chance to meet your dog. Thanks, Safa
About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care.

“Nathan had a blast! Because normally he gets scared going with strangers but the second day he didn’t even bother to look back. They are amazing with Nathan and great with communicating about him as well.”
“Ashlee greeted our dog first at a “meet and greet” at a local park and our pup was calm and comfortable. During our trip, Ashlee updated us on how her first 24 hours went and how she enjoyed playing with the other dogs. On our way back, approaching the Dayton area, she was kind enough to give Pippa a bath. Ashley’s provided kind, observant care to our young dog while we saw family out of state and we couldn’t be more pleased.”
“We were very pleased with Amber. She was very attentive to Bubba. Her girls made bowties for him. Amber sent lots of pictures which set me at ease. Looking forward to many more stays.”
“Daisy and her family are wonderful! They just loved on Sadie like their own. I think Sadie suffered a little withdrawal from playing with the other dogs for a week when she came home. She missed her buddies and her home away from home. A week later she is going back for another overnight stay!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“I can not recommend Karen more than enough. She took care of my two dogs for an overnight stay and they were well taken care of. They came back tired and relaxed and you could tell they had the time of their lives. She integrates your dogs into her pack and makes sure everyone gets along. She sends tons of pictures so you always know what your pups are up too. She responds quickly and put a lot of my fears about leaving my dogs with a stranger at ease. I immediately felt comfortable with her after our meet and greet and the dogs love her too. The dogs can’t wait to go back!!”
“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“Nicole took such good care of my boy Sunshine. She went above and beyond to help him spend his first week away from me including helping him with eating and sleeping anxiety. She sent me messages and pics or videos every day to let me know how he was doing. He was clearly having a ton of fun playing with her sweet pups in her lovely and safe back yard and her cozy home. She is a true dog lover and Sunshine came home happy and exhausted! I will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“There is a reason I always call on Katherine when I need someone to watch my fur baby; she always does an excellent job and my dog Onyx likes going to her place. She spoils him! ❤️”
“Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!”
“This was our 1st boarding our(Golden) Tucker & our (Golden doodle) Bella. What a great place! Everything went fantastic! We will definitely go back again when we need to. They are animal lovers and very nice people! Thank you so much ❤️”
“Leaving our fur baby with someone new was hard, but Paige put us at ease at our first meet and greet. Jax seemed to have a blast and was completly wore out when we picked him up after his stay with Paige. I will leave Jax with Paige again, without a doubt. Thanks Paige!”
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”
“Nate and Whitney were great with my Australian Shepherd. They kept me updated with pictures and I could tell that he was well exercised while I was away. I will definitely be contacting them again if I need to go out of town and can't take Ozzie with me!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I’ve also watched dogs for friends, family, and others who needed someone they could trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving plenty of love and attention. I also have a 4-year-old who absolutely loves animals and has grown up around dogs. Caring for animals is something we both enjoy, and your dog will be treated with lots of love and attention while in my care. I understand every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I work full time, but when I’m not at work I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. My daughter and I love spending time outside, going on walks, and playing in our large yard, so your dog can enjoy plenty of activity and playtime with us. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and get outside. I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine, and my daughter and I will give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
