“From the moment we stepped into Cristi’s home, we could tell our pup felt comfortable and loved. Cristi sent frequent updates and photos through out the stay. She really went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was getting spoiled and loved on while we were away which is all we could’ve ever wanted! Will definitely be using Cristi everytime we need a dog sitter!!!!”

“I loved getting the picture updates and seeing Apollo playing with the kids and other dog while we were away. It really helped knowing he was being cared for by a loving family and not just held in a kennel. Thank you so much and I hope you will care for Apollo again.”


“Madison and her sister were so great with our boys! Great back yard and we loved all the picture updates! No doubt in our minds that they were very loved and taken care of during our week vacation. So happy our boys now have a ‘home away from home’ :)”

“Exceptional sitter ! Elizabeth went above and beyond in her care for Tucker ! Very professional and did a great job communicating. Would definitely recommend !”


“Karen truly is the best. We have a very energetic pup and finding someone to watch him has not been the easiest. Karen is so kind and caring with our dog just loves her!”
“Tina is awesome. She loves our little girl and makes her daycare, as well as her overnight stays enjoyable. Roo sprints to her door when we arrive. She’s very accommodating and flexible with our schedules. I love that I can get a response from her quickly. She’s a great Rover sitter and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a genuine lover of dogs.”

“Deanna took great care of our pup and was sure to send lots of updates with cute photos and videos. Our dog had fun playing with hers and running around in her spacious yard!”

“Joy filled in when our regular sitter was on vacation and I can’t recommend her enough. We got daily updates (at minimum) and lots of pictures during our dogs’ week-long stay. Communication was great and the dogs were so loved on! She was very accommodating and has a perfect space for pup sitting. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and hope we have another chance!”

“My dog stayed with Joe for 2 weeks which is the longest time I have ever left her with someone. She came back very happy and healthy. Joe frequently sent me pictures which was very reassuring to me. I heartily reject Joe as a Dogsitter!”

“Rene was great!! Watched our boy for a week & he can be a handful at times. She has a lot of land; we know Archie had a blast being outside! She updated us every day with some photos so we were reassured it was going well. Would definitely recommend!”

“Best Dog Sitters ever!! I would highly recommend. Very Clean Home. Friendly and made Bronco feel comfortable. They sent pictures of my puppy reassuring he was safe and in good hands! I can truly say I’ll be booking with them all the time! They made my Vacation a Breeze.”

“Felt so comfortable with our puppy being with Justen. He communicated with us every day and made sure King felt at home. Justen is a very nice person I highly recommend him if you need someone to take care of your fur baby.”

“Isabella visited us to get acquainted with our cats and so I could point out their food, water and litter supplies. Everything went smoothly, and our teo boys were well cared for during the three days we were gone. I will definitely use her again.”


“This was my first time ever using a petsitter. I was worried that with Lily needing a pill crushed up and added to her food that it was going to be hard to find someone. Chloe was amazing. I gave her all the instructions, showed her where everything was and she showed up on time for each meal. We take weekend trips here and there and I'm hoping this will be the start of a great connection for Lily and Mistletoe.”


“Dory went above and beyond for our furry family members, staying around to ensure the pups were calm and safe feeling with all of the fireworks happening around the 4th of July. She was very prompt and dependable, and even freshened our duck’s water each day. She was a trooper during a power outage, and cleaned up an accident one of our older dogs had while we are away. She was very communicative and observant, and I felt she loved our girls just as much as we do. We highly recommend Dory! Th”

“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”

“Charity is an amazing sitter! She takes care of my three kitties in amazing trash, and I know that they’re going to be treated well. I use her multiple times a year, and can’t be happier… Try her, you will like her!”

About: Iv worked with many breeds of dogs. Iv trained my own service dog and I’m working as an intern with a trainer to continue that journey. Iv interned at vets and can give oral and topical medications. My goal is to own my own day camp, training facility, sports facility for dogs in the future. I am a stay at home mom and can be available any day. During the week the longest the dogs are left alone are 1-3hrs. We have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to roam and play. We have three large dogs, a hound mix, and English setter, and a German Shepherd. We have a two year old that loves dogs but understands the proper boundaries with them and even how to play ball with them. We do snuffle activities, leashed walks, free walks in our yard, fetch, tug, whatever your pup wants/needs we can and WILL provide it for them. Your pup will be treated with as much love and care as my pups receive!

“Finding Bethani was like an early Christmas! She was absolutely wonderful - professional, kind, so personable, communicative, and our Bean Kitty adored her and the visits! This was our first Rover experience and we are incredibly grateful.”

About: I have owned dogs for 13 years and I have loved them all. Dogs bring me happiness and I love the idea of helping people who share that same happiness. I have taken care of three dogs at one time and so I am very comfortable with being around groups of dogs. I do have a full time job, but evenings I would be extremely flexible along with being available all day through out Saturday and Sunday. I have experience with all sizes of dogs so I am willing to work with any breed. I simply enjoy being around dogs. They are amazing animals and I can't think of a better way to spend my extra time then with these amazing animals that come in all shapes and sizes.

About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a lifelong animal lover and current cat mom to two wonderful kitties. I’ve been caring for cats for years and understand just how special (and particular!) they can be. Whether your cat is playful, shy, sassy, or snuggly, I’m patient, gentle, and always respectful of their personality and comfort level.
About: Experienced in administering medications and providing specialized care, I offer personalized attention with daily updates and photos. I'm passionate about creating an stress-free environment for your furry friends! While I do have work at a doggy boarding facility- I am typically always available during the day and most mornings/nights! My schedule is also very flexible to fit your furry one’s needs! As of right now I cannot offer anything in my home. However when caring for pets in my clients' homes, I will follow their specific care instructions closely, including maintaining their feeding and medication schedules if needed. I will provide plenty of exercise and playtime, ensure their environment is clean and safe, and give them lots of love and attention! I can send regular updates to the client to keep them informed, and I'm always prepared for any emergencies that may arise!
“I don’t leave reviews but Kayla went way above and beyond for me dealing with my dog getting sick and cleaning it and handling my injured dogs bandages coming off and reapplying them for me! I couldn’t give more praise to her and wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you want the best care for you’re pet!”

About: I treat every dog like family—because that’s how I care for my own! I’ve spent years caring for my dogs and those of friends and family, especially while they were out of town. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra patience and love. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow strolls, or high-energy playtime, I adjust to meet each dog’s unique needs. Your pup will be pampered, safe, and loved—just like they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I work part-time as a home health caregiver three days a week. On those days, I have a split schedule—just 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon, with a break in between. This gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Outside of those hours, my schedule is very open, allowing me to give your pet the love, attention, and care they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own—loved, pampered, and well cared for. I make sure they have a calm, clean, and secure environment, free of hazards and full of attention. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, from meal times and medication to play and potty breaks. I also send regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. With my background as a home health caregiver, being attentive, responsible, and trustworthy is second nature to me—qualities I bring to every pet I care for.
About: I have had animals my entire life so there is never a time where I wasn't around one. I also trust them more than people so therefore, they trust me more than most as well. I am a stay at home mom with 2 under 2 so I am always home and most likely available but I will probably have my children when I do any services on this app. I have 4 cats and 4 dogs of all colors and a variety of personalities so I am used to chaos. I have a fenced yard, pools and toys everywhere for my dogs to run around. My cats have their own room with all the beds and scratching posts they desire. I feed them on a timed schedule but have full water bowls all around the house for them to drink at their leisure all day. I have furniture set up specifically so they can look out windows and there are no rules when it comes to where they can sleep.

“Ashleigh and family took care of our 12 week old Cairn Terrier puppy while we took a day trip to visit family out of town. She seemed instantly at ease with him, her daughters were obviously very good with dogs and we had little doubt our pup would enjoy his "camp" experience. He did and even made friends with their pug. We had been looking for a sitter during the week and gladly would go with Ashleigh if it was easier on the commute. Zero concerns and I highly recommend trying them out.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for 15 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic on kennel stuff and have administrated medication for both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time, and I’m in the process of starting my own business at home so I will be home mostly all day. At home I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to run. I have a car that I can take dogs to the park and walk as well as being able to get to clients houses. I take care of all animals as if they are my own.
About: I’ve lived my entire life with dogs and I couldn’t imagine living a life without one. I’ve own various breeds and I’m a huge lover of all dogs. I have a house with a big fenced in back yard for your dog to roam, run, and play. I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby and treating it with love and care. I currently have 3 dogs of my own so multiple dogs are not an issue. I also work from home full time so there will always be somebody around. Hope you can trust me with your furry friends! I work from home full time so I’m always home caring for my 3 dogs. On a nice day you can even catch me sitting out back while I work and the dogs enjoy the fenced in back yard. I have a big fenced in back yard and 3 dogs of my own that I care for daily. My dogs are allowed on the couch and bed for extra cuddles and love.
About: Hello! I'm Myah, and I am a pediatric SLP. We have 3 cats, and 2 great danes in our (mine and my husband's) home. We loveeeee animals! We have experience working with neighbor's and family's animals as well as working in pet stores. I have never gone any time in my life without having a fur baby. We love big dogs, and am knowledgable about their care. I am open and able to have pictures taken and sent throughout their stay! We have a 6 foot privacy fence and plenty of space for the pups to play! Daniel works FT from home, so he will be at the house all day with the babies! I work 4 10s currently, so I am available for walking on my off days (Thurs.Sat/Sun)! Daniel works full time from home so he will be here with your pups all day! I have a 6 foot privacy fence for the pups to play in. I also have 2 dogs that would love another friend. If your dog does need to be separate, that is also doable!
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and have always played a large part in taking care of them. With my love of pets I became a Veterinary Technician and I've worked in the Veterinary field for over 16 years. I've worked in general practice and emergency. Along with working in Vet Med I have always done petsitting. I have also taken care of rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and a bearded dragon! I have also had foster dogs and kittens and helped with rescue work. I do work full time so my availability during the week can be limited, especially during the day. I am available any time satrudays, sundays, and wednesdays. And I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays before 8am and after 6pm. I like to keep your pet's needs in mind. If they are a little more timid, then I will go slow and take the time for them to trust me. If they are active and ready to go, then we will have a fun time playing right off the bat. I will make sure I follow any directions or care instructions you leave for your pet. And I will always love and treat your pet like it is my own!
About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.
“This was my first time leaving my pup Reuben with a sitter and Zoe was just the sweetest! She made me feel so comfortable leaving Reuben with her! He seemed like he had a nice, relaxing day when I picked him up which was awesome because sometimes he can be a bit nervous!”

“Tina was as good for me as she was for Tommy! I had a pretty busy, stressful day ahead of me and she took a lot of my problems away by giving me a safe place to leave Tommy where he could play and be kept busy while I got my things taken care of pretty efficiently. Her compassion and kindness will not be forgotten.”

“Jodi accepted my last minute request and did an amazing job caring for our pup! Benny is pooped after playing all day and her backyard is great for dogs that like to sniff and have space to run. Thanks again!”

About: Over the past 15 years I've adopted, raised, and cared for multiple dogs. From the time we adopted them, they were very much a part of our family, and were always treated as our additional children. They get all the snuggles they want, discipline and training, and love beyond measure. There is never a hungry, lonely dog in our house. All three of our children have been raised with dogs so they are comfortable around them, and love their companionship as well. I've had dogs that were trained with beepers/shock collars so would be comfortable using your dog's collar as well while they're with us. I have also worked as a nurse for 12 years so can respond to medical needs, give medication, and administer first aid. We currently have a puppy in our home that we are training, so your doggo would have a companion while with us. I will give lots of hugs, snuggles, treats (if you're ok with it), and positive affirmations. We have 5 acres of land that I would happily let your furbaby roam and explore. I am home with our 2 year old son and our puppy during the day so your doggo would always have someone to watch over him/her. If I have to run out for whatever reason, I am happy to take your little one on a car ride with us. Or if you prefer, I could utilize our extra crate to safely keep him/her in while I'm out for a short trip. Because of having 3 kids and a puppy in our home, I would have to require your doggo to be dog and kid- friendly. Other than that, I'm very flexible and will do my best to accommodate your specific needs. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to a 2-year-old (and a puppy) so would have plenty of time to interact with, love on, and care for the needs of your dog. Our yard is not fenced, but the plus side is that we have 5 acres of land to roam. I would still likely keep your dog on a leash while outside since he/she it's not accustomed to the boundaries of our property. We do have an extra crate large enough for a medium-large sized dog that can be used to safely house your doggo when/if needed.
“Elizabeth was great with Benji, she took pictures, and he came home tired and loved. He really enjoyed his time with Elizabeth and Mary Jane, we can’t wait to come back!”

“Cassie was amazing!! This was Tilly's first pet sitter experience and Cassie made everything great!! Highly recommend Cassie!! She will be my go to if I ever need a pet sitter again!! 10 STARS!!!!”

“Kyla is AMAZING! My husband and I were in need of a sitter last minute and Kyla was quick to respond and super great at updates and communication. Our dog has been shedding a lot lately and Kyla took the time to groom her which was so kind! I can’t recommend Kyla enough for your dog sitting needs 🐶!”

“Isabelle was fantastic! Took the job last second when original plans fell through and left me in a bind while being out of town. Isabelle provided photos and status updates for each walk. Being a 1st time Rover user, I was nervous, but Isabelle made me feel like my dog was completely taken care of and helped ease my mind. Would 100% recommend her and I will rebook with her in the future when needed. THANK YOU AND GREAT JOB ISABELLE!”

I am very flexible you just let me know! I have two dogs who have invisible fence at home which they both don’t need anymore. I am able to crate a dog or leash a dog if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Chloe! I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. I worked at our local dog shelter for over four years, where I cared for up to 52 dogs a day as part of a team, including administering medications. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special care, I’ll treat your pup like my own! I do have two children who may occasionally accompany me when checking on dogs. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m a homeschool mom who runs her own photography business so I’m available most of the time to be able to check in and care for furry friends. My pets in my own home are very spoiled! We treat them like family. I would treat any pets I’m caring for the same. I love all pets!
About: I have 15 years of pet care experience. Growing up my grandmother always needed help with her cat and dog, whether it was feeding them or walking Spuds! I have experience in bathing both cats and dogs and I personally give my cats a quarterly wash-down. I am comfortable with administering topical ointments or giving shots if needed. I assisted many times with my local TNR program and have great experience with cats specifically. I am currently a part-time student and working an internship that is based on the EST time zone. So I am up early and ready to go at all hours. I am work from home and my classes are also online so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will always animal proof homes regardless if it’s mine or not. Pets having access to fresh water is always a must. Caring for pets is a case by case as all of them have their own personalities! If they need quiet, that’s cool or if they’re more rowdy I can get down with that too!
About: Experienced in administering medications and providing specialized care, I offer personalized attention with daily updates and photos. I'm passionate about creating an stress-free environment for your furry friends! While I do have work at a doggy boarding facility- I am typically always available during the day and most mornings/nights! My schedule is also very flexible to fit your furry one’s needs! As of right now I cannot offer anything in my home.

About: Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and spent years helping take care of them—feeding, walking, playing, and, of course, giving lots of love. In high school and after, I worked as a dog sitter for families in my neighborhood, building experience with a variety of breeds and personalities. These days, I’m a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties, so I’m very familiar with both dog and cat care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I always adapt to their needs and treat them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your pets. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and gentle with your furry family members. I’m excited to meet your pets and give them the same love and attention they get from you! I have availability all throughout the week including weekends! I’m usually available from early in the morning starting around 6:30 AM to the evening as late as 8-9 PM. I can take on walks, feed, water, etc on whatever schedule is best for you and your fur baby. I always want to make sure the cat/ and or dog feels as comfortable as possible when you are away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and currently have two dogs of my own experience-wise, including raising one from a puppy. My first dog was a rescue who was a beloved member of my family until she passed away in 2024, which taught me a lot about patience, routine care, and caring for a dog through all stages of life. I also have a senior dog who is 12 years old, so I’m familiar with the extra attention and care older pets sometimes need. While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve spent time around cats while visiting friends and family and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. Each day I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on them, so caring for animals fits naturally into my schedule. Because I work part-time as a swim instructor in the mornings and have lighter hours outside of that, I have plenty of flexibility during the day and evening to care for other pets. On a weekly basis, I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and parts of the weekend, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to meet a pet’s needs and routine. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for pets. In my own home, I care for my dogs by keeping a clean, calm, and safe environment. I make sure they always have fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and regular exercise. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I prioritize keeping them comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home through drop-ins or walks, I respect each pet’s routine and follow all instructions carefully. I always make sure doors are secure, pets are safe before leaving, and I provide updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

About: Experience & Philosophy With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a diverse array of animals—from dogs and cats to reptiles and small exotics—I bring a deep, foundational understanding of animal behavior and needs to every walk. This extensive background, enriched by my work with animal foster groups, has honed my ability to read subtle cues and adapt to each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I don't just see a walk as a routine task; I view it as a vital opportunity for enrichment, exercise, and building a positive connection. My Approach: Patience & Partnership My core focus is on fostering trust—both with your pet and with you. I believe patience is the cornerstone of a great relationship, so I take the time to let shy or anxious dogs warm up at their own pace, using calm, positive reinforcement. For you, the owner, this means consistent, clear communication and detailed updates, so you always feel confident and connected while you're apart. Your peace of mind and your pet's genuine comfort are my top priorities, ensuring every outing is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your specific expectations. I am self-employed and work from home. Because of this I maintain my own schedule, which means your pets can be my priority when I am with them. My home is an active and engaging space, perfectly suited for dogs who thrive with plenty of stimulation and exercise. As the proud owner of a high-energy herding dog, I have firsthand experience in meeting the needs of active breeds. Our daily life is built around structured enrichment and ample physical activity, from puzzle games and training sessions to long, adventurous walks and play. Your dog won't just be staying with me—they’ll be joining a fun, dynamic routine that keeps their body and mind happily engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are paramount. I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-proofed home to ensure a stress-free environment. With a resident expert in canine energy, I am exceptionally attentive to reading play styles and ensuring all interactions are positive and supervised. If your dog loves to play and learn, they will fit right into our active and loving household.

About: I am a real estate photographer looking to fill in the gaps in my day, and to get me out of the house on days where I’m not too busy. In my free time I like bird watch as well as visit with and walk the dogs at the Franklin county dog shelter! And growing up my family fostered dogs, which allowed me to have plenty of experience with puppy’s to senior dogs of all different breeds and sizes! More recently I have been raising a blue heeler with my dad and I have been reminded of how much better life is with a dog! I’d love to help relieve some stress for those of you who might need a little extra help. I am a real estate photographer, so I usually have lots of downtime in between shoots. I’m also always available in the afternoons past 5 and most weekends! I am able to take long walks with your babies near your home, and I can even transport to dog parks or other areas if needed!

About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.

“I loved getting the picture updates and seeing Apollo playing with the kids and other dog while we were away. It really helped knowing he was being cared for by a loving family and not just held in a kennel. Thank you so much and I hope you will care for Apollo again.”


“Madison and her sister were so great with our boys! Great back yard and we loved all the picture updates! No doubt in our minds that they were very loved and taken care of during our week vacation. So happy our boys now have a ‘home away from home’ :)”

“Exceptional sitter ! Elizabeth went above and beyond in her care for Tucker ! Very professional and did a great job communicating. Would definitely recommend !”


“Karen truly is the best. We have a very energetic pup and finding someone to watch him has not been the easiest. Karen is so kind and caring with our dog just loves her!”
“Joy filled in when our regular sitter was on vacation and I can’t recommend her enough. We got daily updates (at minimum) and lots of pictures during our dogs’ week-long stay. Communication was great and the dogs were so loved on! She was very accommodating and has a perfect space for pup sitting. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and hope we have another chance!”

“My dog stayed with Joe for 2 weeks which is the longest time I have ever left her with someone. She came back very happy and healthy. Joe frequently sent me pictures which was very reassuring to me. I heartily reject Joe as a Dogsitter!”

“Rene was great!! Watched our boy for a week & he can be a handful at times. She has a lot of land; we know Archie had a blast being outside! She updated us every day with some photos so we were reassured it was going well. Would definitely recommend!”

“Best Dog Sitters ever!! I would highly recommend. Very Clean Home. Friendly and made Bronco feel comfortable. They sent pictures of my puppy reassuring he was safe and in good hands! I can truly say I’ll be booking with them all the time! They made my Vacation a Breeze.”

“Felt so comfortable with our puppy being with Justen. He communicated with us every day and made sure King felt at home. Justen is a very nice person I highly recommend him if you need someone to take care of your fur baby.”

“Alex was the first host I used on Rover. I was a bit worried about using this app, but Alex made my first experience amazing! She is so friendly and truly has a heart for animals. I have already booked with her a few times since and my doggo loves to stay with her. She is very flexible and has even dropped my dog back off to me. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Alex for taking such good care of Amani!”

About: Hi I’m Zoë! I love all animals, big and small and have been around them my whole life. >I have owned many different types of animals: dogs, cats, fish, a ferret, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, ect... >I have experience with a spectrum of ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I am good with puppies in training, as well as senior dogs who need accommodations. >Right now I have a dog (Bailey, 3), a farm cat, a fish, and also a flock of ducks. >I also offer yard clean up services and homemade dogfood! >I have been working for Rover since 2023 after I graduated from OSU >I moved to Fairfield County in 2024 I currently work part time at a greenhouse and run my own business. Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.
“Emily and her family were amazing. She was very attentive to my older dog and was great with giving me updates and pictures. He even got to meet goats!!! Thank you so much Emily I will definitely use you again. I highly recommend”


“We could not have asked for a better sitter! :) It was hard to leave our pup behind but Laura made us feel at ease with regular updates and sweet photos throughout his weekend stay! Our rambunctious golden clearly had a blast—especially playing with little Smitty, Laura’s adorable pup! Laura and her family genuinely seemed to enjoy having Bodhi in their home, and that meant a lot to us! Thank you, again! Highly recommend!!”

“Michelle & Justin are great! They are responsive and treated my pup like their own, including her in their activities and making special time for her too.”

“Kimberly and her family were so good to our little Molly that I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home. It was a true blessing finding Kimberly on Rover. I hope she has room for her the next time I need a dog border. Thank you so very much Kimberly.”
