About: I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current two dogs since birth. What can I say dogs just like me . Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.

She is well versed in pet care and comfortable with the dogs. She sends great photos and I always know that my dog is safe with her.”

It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”
“Debbie was wonderful. I do not crate my dog and did not want to leave him with someone who insisted on crating. Debbie only had my dog and I was able to have an overnight trip without worry. She kept me informed of how it was all going. Her and her husband were lovely. I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her services in the future”
“This is the first time we have ever boarded a fur baby in someone’s home. We were very nervous. Our dog has stitches and needed meds during his stay and Karin was able to accommodate his needs!

It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“Sheila and Jeff did such an amazing job watching our Frenchie Norman for 10 days. We received lots of pictures and updates daily. Norman had a great time playing with their 2 dogs and they truly treated him as their own. It was such a blessing to find them and have piece of mind that he was in good hands so we could enjoy our vacation and not have to worry. We will be using them again for ALL our dog sitting needs. Thank you guys so much!!!!!”

“Sydney did a great job with my elderly cat. She did drop in visits to ensure he had food and water and she cleaned his litter box. I would recommend her and I will use her again in the future.”
“Katie is beyond amazing. Our previous Rover canceled on us last minute and I completely panicked. Katie swooped in so fast to save the day. She leaves thorough reviews with pictures. Normally, I feel so anxious when we travel because I worry about my cat. Katie has quelled that fear and brought me so much peace of mind. She really goes above and beyond for a Rover sitter. She has done a better job than my closest friends. I look forward to working with her in the future, I’m sure my cat does too!”

She cleans up after the litter mess, checks on their food and water! My boys are pleased to say the least! I will book with her for life ♥️ do your animals a favor and book Emma!”

“Erin did great at taking care of my puppy! I had an odd situation where I was traveling from out of state, and she was more than helpful in accommodating my needs for an anxious pup.”
About: I have experience taking care of friends' dogs and my own dog, giving her oral medications and in food, walking them among others. I enjoy the experience a lot, to be able to meet new pets and their owners. I work from home, so I am available during the day to give your doggie attention, take your dog for a walk, feed and of course give your doggie a lot of love. I know very well what it's like to be away from your beloved doggie and how much you miss them when they're not by your side. That's why I assure you of frequent, daily updates on your doggie so you can have peace of mind knowing how they are and what they're doing each day. Being home all day allows me to guarantee that your doggie will always be accompanied and well cared for. They will be able to go outside to pee frequently, will have their meals on time, and will get their daily walk if they enjoy physical activity. I always keep a close eye on the dogs I'm caring for and always take them outside on a leash. If your dog takes any oral medication or vitamins, please feel free to bring them so I can administer them. Just send me the instructions in writing before the day you drop them off. If your dog has any favorite toys, treats, or long-lasting chews that they're used to having, it would be great if you brought them so they feel even happier. My priority is that your doggie feels comfortable and happy, and they will receive plenty of belly rubs and love.

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!

I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run. I will provide your dog’s food and any medicines or care routines on your provided schedule, to maintain your dog’s familiar routine while in a new environment. I am flexible with your dog’s preferred sleeping arrangements— I have a large crate and a medium sized crate available if your dog is a crate sleeper, but my dog is allowed on furniture, so I will provide whatever your dog prefers. Family-friendly, non-aggressive, fairly sociable dogs are preferred, no age preferences or restrictions. My toddler LOVES dogs and will certainly run up to hug or pet the dog.

About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.

I'm currently working on making pet sitting my full time job so my availability is completely open for around the clock care whether your pet is an early riser or a night owl! I prefer to care for pets in their own space as I have roommates at this time & our landlord doesn't allow pets on property.

About: I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current two dogs since birth. What can I say dogs just like me . Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
“Tim & Katarzyna are a lovely couple who took excellent care of our pups! We received daily updates , including pics and videos of the boys having a blast. I highly recommend them to care for your furry loved ones !”
“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!”
“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos. It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”
“Amber was a great sitter for our beagle! We were on a cruise so couldn’t always get cell reception but anytime I would there would be a picture and update on how he was doing. Will happily use her anytime I need a sitter. 😊”
“Ashleigh & Bill were very accommodating and took excellent care of my dog. They sent updates everyday and had impeccably customer service. If i have to go out of town again i know the number one place to leave me dog. Thanks so much”
“Our 7yo mini goldendoodle stayed with Sabrina and her family for a week. She was happy when we picked her up and has been napping steadily since we brought her home. We did miss routine photo updates so will definitely ask for that specifically next time. Highly Recommended!”
“Catherine was very accommodating and responsive. Appreciate all her photos and text updates. Adam was a pleasure to deal with, too. Hoping to interact with them more often!”
“Ryan is great! He has watched Niko, our GS mix a few times now. This last time we were gone for over a week, when we picked up Niko he was freshly bathed and tuckered out from his 3mile walk. We hope to use Ryan again!!!”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“Kiersten provided a happy, loving, and relaxed environment for our doggo who is often anxious in boarding situations. Boo had a wonderful time playing with her other dogs and Kiersten took great care of her!! Will definitely use Kiersten again!”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“My boy is a sisssyyyy and Amber went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable during his stay!! Wrapped him in my blankets, took him on plenty of (attempted) walks (my doggo’s a sissy, remember?), and offered all the cuddles and pets to keep him feeling reassured until I was back in town. The fact that she keeps it to one pet at a time was a life saver- my big baby wouldn’t do well w others. Will be using Amber over and over again! Never trying anywhere else!”
“Rachel is an incredible person. She adored my dog as if it were her own. She ensured that my dog felt at ease in a new environment. I truly appreciate her efforts and highly recommend her services.”
“Daniel and Lauren were phenomenal with Kennedy. This is her second stay with them and she loved it. Kennedy had an ear surgery a few days before her stay and Lauren and Daniel were great with giving her meds and caring for her. Highly recommend them!”
“Haley was awesome! Everything listed on her profile is accurate. Our Bailey had a great stay with Haley and her pups. Bailey was there less than 24 hours, but Haley sent us several pictures of her and provided an update of how the stay was going. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!!”
“Amanda was great. She send updates and pictures daily. Our dog also has anxiety so it was good for her to be around people and other dogs and not crated all day. I would recommend Amanda!”
