“Best experience my dog has ever had being taken care of while I was away! Rosemarie and her husband were incredibly kind and attentive, and it truly felt like my dog was able to feel at home the whole time. Loved how often I got updates with vids/pics. Will definitely be booking her with Rosemarie from now on :)”
“We LOVE Karen. I have never left my baby with anyone else but our former groomer. She made my day sending pictures and a video. My baby came home the happiest I have ever seen her come home when we have been away. No anxiety, no issues, just happy We will be using her again in the future. Thank you Karen and to your family as well for welcoming my baby into your home and for taking such good care of her. God Bless you!!”

“Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰”

“Highly recommend Tamisha for boarding services! She sent multiple updates with pictures and I could tell my puppy Wilson was happy and worn out when I got him. Will definitely be booking with her again”
About: My property has 1-acre of fenced space where your pup can run around until their heart’s content. If you have a senior pup, a young puppy, or a dog with complex medical needs, you have found the right home. Having loved and cared for my own Akitas through major health challenges—including blindness—I am completely comfortable managing complex medication schedules, topical treatments, oral meds, and injections. As an experienced dog and puppy foster (who even once fostered a litter of nine puppies!), I understand canine body language and know how to support anxious or transitioning pets. Rest assured, your pup will be cared for and welcomed with open arms no matter their situation. Pet care is my full-time job right now. I am generally away from the home for no more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to be away for longer, I will ensure you are aware in advance. I have a fenced backyard and three dogs of my own who will keep your pup company. My own dogs are a senior male, fully blind American Akita, an adult female pug mix, and a male puppy pug mix (the adult female’s puppy). I ensure all dogs are kept separate during mealtime and, as needed, during playtime where dog toys may be involved. I have crates and playpens, extra dog dishes, and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys for your pup to use as much or as little as they want. My own dogs love to cuddle and sleep on the couch and bed, and your pup is welcome to as well, as long as it’s okay with you. I’m happy to provide updates throughout your pup’s stay based on a frequency you’d prefer to ensure you feel comfortable with their time in my care.
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received from Emily! Throughout the entire stay, I was kept updated with regular messages, beautiful photos, and detailed status reports, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was not only well cared for but also genuinely loved and treated like family. I highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and professional. I will definitely book again!”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“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.”
“We love Anjanette! She is our go-to sitter for whenever we are away. Milo is always excited to be with Anjanette and we know he will be treated as her family dog with love and care”
“Ellen took amazing care of my dog, Spud! I got daily picture check-ins, and Spud clearly felt at home—she ate all her food, got to socialize with other dogs, and even lounged on the bed and pillows. It’s clear Ellen treats the dogs like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I used to beg my parents to let me have a dog. They always told me I need to prove I could take care of one so I would always offer to walk and take care of my neighbors and friends pets. It all paid off and I finally got my first dog at 13! I now have a Carolina Dog who is super energetic and requires a lot of activity and patience. I enjoy taking care of and getting to know all the pets! I have recently graduated college and am at a standstill for finding jobs so I am available all times of the week to help out! I always make sure that the pets I am watching are safe and happy. I want nothing more than to see their little tails wagging!
“She was great with my dog! She was always on time and took pictures of my baby so I could see her when I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone! By the pictures I could tell Jessie love her too! Jessie has to take medicine every day and she made sure Jessie took her medicine.”

“Yvonne was lovely with our kitty. He immediately was prepared to give her attitude and love, which takes time with most people. We were so pleased with fun detailed check in notes and the care he received.”
“Charity has been amazing. This is our first time leaving our home and cats in the care of someone we didn't personally know, and it has been a great experience. Charity sent photos with every visit, asked pertinent questions, and was so kind to our furkids. We will absolutely be using her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience taking care of my family’s animals, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every animal like they’re part of the family! I work full-time in healthcare three days a week, giving me a flexible schedule to provide consistent, loving, and reliable pet care on my days off.

I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and bring both experience and genuine care to every pet I watch. I was raised on a farm surrounded by animals, and I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, including a small dog I cared for over 16 years. In the last 5 years we have added 2 cats to our pack and an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy. I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, routines, and reinforcement of basic training. I also work as an intervention specialist at Bridgeway Academy, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to understand behavior — skills that translate naturally to animal care. I have two years of pet sitting experience for family and friends and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I recently left a 16 year career where I grew from caseworker to supervisor to manager. I decided to pursue opportunities to care for animals, as animals are my true passion. I grew up on a small farm where we had cows, horses, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, canaries and hamsters. I have always loved animals and enjoy caring for them. I look forward to caring for your beloved pets. I recently left my full time job to explore pet care services. I will do all I can to be available for you and your pets’ needs at anytime. I can provide care in my home, or stay in your home, wherever your pets are most comfortable. I would be able to stay the night in your home if you prefer, or stop by your home as you request. This would be determined by what is best for you and your pets.
“This was the first time for our Richmond! Lauren is super communicative and just getting pictures of Richmond put us at ease. We could tell he enjoyed himself. So awesome!”

“Sam loves spending time with Rosemarie. When we pull up, it's like he knows where he is at. He runs to the door every time. Rose has been very reliable and up front about her availability, which is really important to me. I get the cutest pictures of Samuel on our cards after I pick him up. You can tell he enjoys himself when he's there. The most important thing to me is how much they both care about Sam. It's been a great relationship so far. Sam is in good hands with Rosemarie and that peace of mind is priceless.”
“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!”
“Jodi was so awesome with my sweet girl. She loved her through a long weekend away from me. Something she's not use to. She sent pictures showing how well she was doing and it made me feel much better to see how well she was doing!! I highly recommend Jodi, she treated Luna as if she was one of her own dogs. I'm forever grateful for that and for putting my mind at ease on how she was doing. You will never regret using Jodi, she's AMAZING!!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since childhood, with experience in looking after cats, dogs (small and large breeds), and fish. I treat all pets like family, offering them full access to my home. As I work from home, your pet will never be alone for long, ensuring they receive constant love and attention. I’ve been trusted by many friends and family to look after their furry family members since I was a teenager. I am a fully remote worker and work from an office in my home. There is minimal time that pets would be left alone and would have constant access to me throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard with a privacy fence. A doggy door allow for access to the yard at all times for those willing to use it. I have 4 very friendly dogs who are always happy to keep your pets company and entertained.

I want you to know while your gone working hard your babies are cared for the best they could be. I've never came across an animal that hasn't loved me and that I haven't loved. I will give endless amounts of hugs and kisses if anything thats what I'll do too much of. Thank you can't wait to hear from owners :) I work from home and I'm here available all day we take potty breaks every 2 hours and exercise time. We give love care attention here I have 2 loving dogs who love other animals and a big maine coone cat who loves attention and playing my kids love to help out also
About: I have 6 animals- 4 cats & 2 dogs. I have always had such a connection with animals, I enjoy taking care of them & bonding, I have fostered dogs & my animals were all adopted from shelters. I am able to overnight sit for the fur babies in my home, cats included- as well as walking the animals, feeding, bathing, playing, you name it! I can do daily check ins around my work hours & will provide you with tons of updates & pictures. I work Monday through Friday I would be available in the evenings after work & early mornings. Most of the time I have open availability on the weekends! I work from home two days a week(these days are flexible) so I can provide doggy daycare during those days as well. I do have animals myself so I typically would come home feed and let them out and then I am available all evening! In my clients home I can take them on walks if a yard with a fence is available I still will go out with them have playtime, & still take them on the occasional or everyday walks if that is preferred! I will feed & look after them as well if dog sitting is requested rather than just a walk - I can also help practice things that the dog parent is wanting like crate training, training in general.. I also pet sit for cats- I can play with them, feed & look after & overall just give them love & attention.
“Scott and Katrina were extremely accommodating and very good communicators. Benny has the best time at their house and is comfortable with their other dogs! Fantastic Rover!!”
“I was so pleased with the services provided by Amber while watching my little one. She interacted with her wonderfully and gave her lots and lots of attention. Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”
“Keiran was fantastic! My work days can be kind of crazy at times and she was very flexible and accommodating to my needs. I never once worried about Carrot's safety or well-being. I felt that Keiran loved and cared for my puppy just as much as I would have, and I can not thank her enough for that!”
“Karla is hands-down the best dog sitter I’ve ever experienced. Her love for dogs is immediately clear in everything she does. She has a spacious backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and her home is always clean, well-kept, and welcoming. What I appreciate most is how she allows dogs be themselves while ensuring a safe, well-managed environment. She pays close attention to group dynamics, making sure all the dogs interact well and play safely. I felt completely at ease leaving Bruno in her care, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would book with Karla again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
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: Hi! I’m Brittany, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As the proud owner of a happy 5-year-old French Bulldog, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, love, and personalized care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering basic medications, and caring for dogs with unique personalities and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages, giving you peace of mind throughout your time away. My Services 🐾 Dog Boarding 🐾 House Sitting 🐾 Drop-In Visits 🐾 Dog Walking Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. As the owner of a 5 yr old Frenchie, my days already revolve around walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, and making sure my own dog is happy and healthy. Because caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s easy to incorporate additional pets into my daily routine. I plan my schedule so every dog gets the attention, exercise, and one-on-one care they deserve. Whether it’s an early morning walk, midday potty break, afternoon play session, or evening cuddle time, I make sure each pet receives consistent care and plenty of affection. I truly love spending time with animals! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to keep pets comfortable, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality because some dogs love to play all day, while others are happiest relaxing with belly rubs and cuddles. In a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets feel safe in their familiar environment, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners can enjoy their time away without worrying. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. They receive plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and a safe, comfortable place to relax. I keep plenty of clean toys, orthopedic beds and blankets on hand so your pet feels at home. My goal is always to make them feel loved and at home.
“Jaz did a great job boarding my greyhound, Rocky. Jaz has good instincts with dogs and a kind demeanor. She accommodated my dog’s needs which helped him become comfortable at her home rather quickly. In addition to all her animal care skills, Jaz is highly organized. Her routines and processes helped my dog become comfortable quickly. And I loved that although Jaz is organized, she is flexible and found ways to make the entire process easier for me, as her client.”

I live on a small farm with a few other animals. I’m a very trustworthy person. I’m also a kennel technician/Dog trainer so I spend time with dogs almost every day.

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.

“Wow! Zoe is tremendous! I was very hesitant in using Rover with my best buddy Utah because he was getting walked every day by a family friend since he was a puppy. He is now going to be 4 years old in July. The dog walker he had decided to retire from her daily walks with Utah. I had to find someone great to walk Utah on a daily basis. After reading the reviews for Zoe and also seeing that she lived fairly close, I decided to reach out to her. She has been great. She asked great questions up front about Utah and what my needs were caring for him and what she may need to watch out for. Utah absolutely adores her. Zoe has been reliable and has communicated great with me. She lets me know when she arrives, she lets me know how Utah was during the walk and her visit time with him, she lets me know if he peered or pooped, and she sends me pictures of Utah while on their walk. She really likes Utah as well. I think both Utah and Zoe look forward to their daily walks. Zoe is trustworthy, mature, reliable, thoughtful, and caring. She is everything you could possibly want to care for your furry companion that you love so much. I 100% recommend Zoe without hesitation.”

“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

“Jade is great with our dogs, who can be rambunctious, and just overall delightful to deal with. She's punctual, patient, and pleasant to all of us. Thrilled to have found her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. At 12 years old I volunteered at Petland and worked with taking care of the puppies there. Then when I was 13 I was working with horse at a farm. When I turned 16 and could get a job I started working at a pet store and learning pet nutrition. Then I got a second job started working at a kennel I started out as a kennel tech and now I am a dog trainer. I’m currently working full time at a dog training facility. I typically work there from 10am to about 3pm each day. I also typically work on Saturdays from 8am to 1pm. I have three fur babies that has 7.5 acres of land to fun and play. I also know a lot about pet nutrition so my dogs get fed some of the best food.

“Best experience my dog has ever had being taken care of while I was away! Rosemarie and her husband were incredibly kind and attentive, and it truly felt like my dog was able to feel at home the whole time. Loved how often I got updates with vids/pics. Will definitely be booking her with Rosemarie from now on :)”
“We LOVE Karen. I have never left my baby with anyone else but our former groomer. She made my day sending pictures and a video. My baby came home the happiest I have ever seen her come home when we have been away. No anxiety, no issues, just happy We will be using her again in the future. Thank you Karen and to your family as well for welcoming my baby into your home and for taking such good care of her. God Bless you!!”

“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.”
“Lauren was absolutely great with my doggos! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. One of my dogs required quite a bit of medication and she was very accepting of it. I would definitely recommend Lauren if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies!”
“This is the second time that my two little dogs have boarded with Laura and her family. They did a great job again taking care of our fur babies! I appreciate how careful and conscientious she is about checking in on the dogs preferences and sending lots of pictures. We will definitely book with her again!”
“She was easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. When we arrived, she met us outside with both of our dogs, one of whom has anxiety, which helped make the transition smoother. She introduced them to her own friendly dogs right away, which helped them settle in. Throughout their stay, she kept us updated with multiple photos, which we really appreciated.”

About: My property has 1-acre of fenced space where your pup can run around until their heart’s content. If you have a senior pup, a young puppy, or a dog with complex medical needs, you have found the right home. Having loved and cared for my own Akitas through major health challenges—including blindness—I am completely comfortable managing complex medication schedules, topical treatments, oral meds, and injections. As an experienced dog and puppy foster (who even once fostered a litter of nine puppies!), I understand canine body language and know how to support anxious or transitioning pets. Rest assured, your pup will be cared for and welcomed with open arms no matter their situation. Pet care is my full-time job right now. I am generally away from the home for no more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to be away for longer, I will ensure you are aware in advance. I have a fenced backyard and three dogs of my own who will keep your pup company. My own dogs are a senior male, fully blind American Akita, an adult female pug mix, and a male puppy pug mix (the adult female’s puppy). I ensure all dogs are kept separate during mealtime and, as needed, during playtime where dog toys may be involved. I have crates and playpens, extra dog dishes, and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys for your pup to use as much or as little as they want. My own dogs love to cuddle and sleep on the couch and bed, and your pup is welcome to as well, as long as it’s okay with you. I’m happy to provide updates throughout your pup’s stay based on a frequency you’d prefer to ensure you feel comfortable with their time in my care.
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received from Emily! Throughout the entire stay, I was kept updated with regular messages, beautiful photos, and detailed status reports, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was not only well cared for but also genuinely loved and treated like family. I highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and professional. I will definitely book again!”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“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.”
“Ellen took amazing care of my dog, Spud! I got daily picture check-ins, and Spud clearly felt at home—she ate all her food, got to socialize with other dogs, and even lounged on the bed and pillows. It’s clear Ellen treats the dogs like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
