“Dawn, took great care of Mr. Wilbur she recognized that he was exhibiting some signs of separation anxiety during his week long stay and handled the situation perfectly. I would recommend Dawn to anyone.”
“Avery took excellent care for our puppy! She was so friendly and easy to work with. I could tell our puppy was well cared for, and had fun. She even got to go to soccer practice, which I am sure she loved! I will definitely book with her again!”
“Great Communication with Megan & David for my 1st time leaving Jackson with a new Rover sitter. I was even welcomed to do a meet and greet that went well. It left me very comfortable leaving Jackson for 5 nights. I received pictures and updates on how he was adjusting. I have already set up some more stays for some trips I have planned. I highly recommend Megan & David for the care of your dog.”
“Hazbleydy I. & her husband were great! My dog can be very anxious and is usually not fond of new people but she had a great time at their house. Hazbleydy kept me updated with pictures the entire time, and even went out to get supplies for my dog that had ran out of during the stay. I would highly recommend her!”
“Michelle was an excellent dog sitter. We knew Cookie was in safe hands while we enjoyed some Fall camping. When I got back into cell phone service on Sunday I was greeted with dozens of pictures of Cookie having fun and going for walks. He got a bath as well, and smells lovely. :-)”
“Highly recommend! Great care and affordable. I received pictures and video of my dog during her stay. It was like having her stay with family. Already planning to bring my dog back for our next trip. Thanks Richelle!”
“Katie and her family treated Vivi like one of their own. From text messages to confirm preferences, to photos and videos of Vivi playing, it was clear that we picked the right Rover to watch our pup during vacation. Highly recommend Katie to anyone trying avoid the traditional "puppy prison" boarding options!”
“I was so nervous about leaving our newly rescued bulldog when we went on our first trip. Paula and Thom put all of my worries at ease instantly. Clearly dog-people, they showed him great attention during our meet and greet, asked thoughtful questions about his personality and preferences, and demonstrated a real knowledge and care for dogs. During our trip, I received frequent photos, which I appreciated immensely. Mack seemed to settle right in and make himself at home. Thank you, Paula and Thom, for your thoughtful care of Mack!”
“April was a great puppy sitter. I have a 4 month old miniature poodle. HOLLY. Holly fell in love with April. I can tell Holly was very well cared for. I will be using her again. Highly recommend. I loved she sent Pics daily.”
“Look no further!! Barbara is your best option. She met our dogs and asked questions about them before we dropped them off so there was great communication and Connection. She messaged every day with pictures and updates. The dogs absolutely love her. On day one they were already cuddling! Thank you, Barbara for being amazing!”
“Natasa was very professional and made us feel very comfortable leaving our puppy for the first time. We received daily updates with pictures and videos which really was nice to see. Natasa and her family showed our pup lots of love and care while we were gone and we are extremely appreciative of that! Our pup lives going on walks and playing in their spacious backyard. Thank you Natasa!”
“Best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Dani watched my 2 boxers and loved them like they were her own. She is extremely experienced with dog behavior and knew how to care for my temperamental female boxer. I will definitely be using Dani again!!”
“Susan we great with our oddball fogs, Baxter and Wiley. Both dogs have anxiety issues and Susan was great to make them as comfortable as can be. She had 2 other dogs that she was sitting at the time and Baxter loved running the yard with them both. Wiley seemed to like the recliners in her “dog pad” in the basement. Without a doubt, we will call on Susan again!”
About: With over 15 years of hands on experience fostering more than 80 dogs, I've cared for puppies, seniors, medical cases, and dogs needing extra patience, confidence building, and socialization. Every dog is an individual, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personality and routine. I actively train (and occasionally compete) in agility, herding, trick training, scent and others with my dogs as well as helping introduce others to CPE Agility as an instructor at Clermont County Dog Training Club. This experience has given me a strong understanding of canine body language, safe introductions, and enrichment. I provide a calm, home based boarding experience with plenty of individual attention. I'm comfortable administering most medications, happy to follow your dog's routine, and require a meet-and-greet before every first stay. To ensure personalized care, I accept a maximum of two guest dogs (40 lbs or less) at a time. I work from home, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. Guest dogs are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to step out, all dogs are safely crated for everyone's security. Outside breaks are offered every 2–3 hours (or more often if needed), with plenty of opportunities for sniffing, play, and relaxation. Most days include two walks, enrichment activities, and, when weather permits, a longer hike or adventure around the adjoining 150-acre property using secure long lines. Dogs who enjoy the water may also have the opportunity to splash in the pond or explore the creek with owner approval. Every dog's activity level is adjusted based on their age, fitness, personality, and your preferences. Your dog's safety and comfort always come first. Every new guest is required to complete a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone is a good fit. Because my own dogs share the home, I look for guests who are dog-friendly or dog-tolerant. New dogs are introduced gradually, and crate-free time with my dogs only happens after I've assessed everyone's comfort and temperament. Dogs are continuously supervised while together, and I carefully manage interactions to keep the environment calm and positive. My home features approximately half an acre of securely fenced outdoor space, along with access to 150 acres for on-leash adventures. Guest dogs are never off leash outside the fenced yard; long lines are always used when exploring. Dogs are welcome on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise, and I'll happily follow your household routines and care instructions to help your dog feel at home. Please note this is a hobby farm with chickens and sheep on the premise. They will be secured away from the guest dogs.

“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals on my family farm and I love them all! I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, bunnies, ducks, and horses! I have a short school and work schedule so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! Available many hours and days. I have fenced in areas and leashes outside to keep pet safe and secure. I also have barns and crates if needed for your pet.
About: I’ve taken in a kitten and nursed it to health for 3 weeks before finding it a home. Outside of this, I’ve taken care of other people’s indoor/outdoor cats and 2 indoor bengals cats. I enjoy taking care of cats and figuring out their personality. My favorite accomplishment is having a cat bring you a gift- AKA dead rodent 💗🤣
About: I have 4 cats and a little Chiweenie Puggle with my boyfriend. I am kind of a crazy cat lady, and I am not ashamed. We often take care of strays around the neighborhood and have even taken in a few. We work together to advocate for those who don't have a voice. I have always had a passion for animals ESPECIALLY cats since I was little, accumulating a lot of pet care experience under my belt with smaller animals over the course of a decade. I always treat every furbaby as if they are my own. I cannot wait to meet yours, they will have my full heart and attention! Always up to answer those questions and concerns, you can rely on me to be there for you and your kitty. I LOVE LOVE LOVE taking care of cats and other small animals!

About: Friendly, reliable cat care with experience in feeding, litter box maintenance, behavior monitoring, and medication. Focused on routine and low-stress care. I’m patient and attentive, letting each cat adjust at their own pace.
“Rayme was amazing! We needed someone short notice, and even with that, her communication was great, and she made sure to spend time and give some love to all three of our fur babies. We're booking with her for a longer trip and definitely feel great about leaving our babies in her care!”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.
About: i have taken care of a variety of cats with diverse ranges in size, personality, and friendly towards both strangers and close relatives. I have trained my own cat, Korin (aka Mufassa) well! To the point he’s comfortable with commands although he does not always obey! 🤣 he’s got a very rogue personality. Korin is over a decade old at this point but still in prime condition and health! I honed my cat caretaker skills over the years with many feline furry friends, and will likely always have one in my life as cats bring a certain balance to life that is hard to otherwise find. Cats tend to be the easiest animal to care for from my experience, as they are the most obvious to read. You know fairly quickly where you stand, with both dogs and cats, and no matter where you stand you can build from that by maintaining constant gas in your JEEP Jesus Enthusiasm Encouragement Peace Long as you operate in the JEEP everything will be exactly what it is meant to be🎶
About: I have 8 years of experience in the veterinary field, including 5 years as a veterinary assistant, with extensive hands-on experience caring specifically for cats of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, eye/ear drops, injections (when prescribed), and closely monitoring for subtle behavior or health changes that cats often hide. What sets me apart is my understanding of feline behavior and stress signals. I’m especially attentive to keeping litter boxes deep-cleaned and odor-free, maintaining consistent routines, and creating a calm environment for shy, senior, or medically complex cats. I treat every cat with patience and respect, letting them set the pace while ensuring they’re safe, clean, and well cared for.
About: For years, I have fed and taken in many strays. My cat(Nimbus) was actually a stray that I used to visit every week. Not only do I have experience with feral cats, but I've worked at ASPCA and taken care of many rescue cats. While there, I would feed and provide enrichment.
About: I have been in the animal care business for the last 10 years. I personally have a very loved dog that I have cared for, for the last 11 years. On top of caring for my family’s pets over the last 16 years. I work full-time with several days working from home. I know how important an animals schedule is and would do everything to maintain that so the pet’s routine is not affected. My dog and kitten get everything the want and everything I think they need 🤣. Leaving your animal in the trust of me would guarantee that the things you want done for your family are completed. These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.

About: Experienced dog owner/pet lover! I have always had an intimacy with the animal world. Pets are family and I enjoy giving dogs lots of affection and good conversation. A good walk and playtime as well.😉 I enjoy spending quality time with dogs...grooming them, walking them, and playing. I grew up with pets in my home ever since I can remember, we had everything from dogs, cats, to a horse. (Even a salamander) I have experience with light training, and giving medications, pill and injections. I'm available weekdays, and weekends are typically open. I would love to build a long term business and achieve great connections with clients and their pets. I'm hoping to meet many great dogs and cats and provide a quality reliable service to areas of Brown County Ohio! Pet Care is my only job so Please don't be afraid to contact me for last minute needs. We just opened our Doggy Cottage so we can take on more dogs than we previously could and it's adorable!

About: My first job was cleaning dog kennels at age 8, I spent 6 years after high school managing a dog daycare and boarding facility, and the last 3 years as a dog handler for a geese management. I am certified in canine and feline first aid and CPR, as well as administering medication. I am also experienced in dog training. Not only can I keep them healthy but happy and active with lots of love and playtime and enrichment activities. There is no animal I don’t adore, big or small, grumpy or crazy, young or old. Allow me to give you confidence and comfort in your absence while I care for your furbabies. Please provide food if scheduled to eat while with me and a collar with your name and number on it. I respect boundaries of all pets and clients, as well as trying to go above and beyond with service of all parties. I can do extra services upon request. My schedule would revolve around my clients schedule. My day is already dictated by my animals at home with around the clock care. I am very flexible when it comes to meeting the needs of the animals I’m providing care for. I try to stay as true to the routine they are use to, as well as provide extra activities and stimulation to enrich their time with me. I want them to be excited to come back!
About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pets) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, sick, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like our family when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling my 3 yr old. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before petting, and to be aware around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries , gym, or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too, if you like. Your dog/cat/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals on and off for about 34 years) …cared for puppies, adults and senior dogs such as pit bulls, Pekingese, Shih Tzu , mini pincher Dobermans ,then fostered a German Shepard, a black pup Labradors, also taken cared of a Golden Retrievers, a Pitbull, poodles, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). (Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around . I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need) Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-9 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, break, lunch, then around 3-4pm, around/after dinner time, and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/cat/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, clean, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)!

About: I ONLY TAKE ONE PET AT A TIME SO THEY GET 100% OF MY ATTENTION & LOVE 24/7. I've had critters to love and care for since I can remember - all kinds: dogs, cats, a pony, ducks, chickens, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I worked for a vet for several years, was on the Board of my local SPCA and have rescued 3 dogs and a cat as part of our family in the past 15 years. Now our empty nest home is pretty quiet but I am always ready to love some more! I started pet sitting for friends and discovered how fulfilling it can be, so I am more than ready to care for your fur baby too. I am at home full time now and have the whole day to tailor to the needs of the critters I care for, so even special needs are not usually a problem. I am an avid photographer and will happily send photo updates regularly. OH, and I go by LOLLY (a nickname since I was a toddler). I have a large fenced yard for off-leash, supervised play time and live in a forest with acres of trails for leashed walks. I have one cat at home and aim to board only ONE DOG AT A TIME (or two if they are housemates already). Your pet will stay inside my home which is a peaceful and safe environment, no small children, quiet neighbours and a husband who loves to give free belly rubs! Home 24/7 so am able to be with your pet all day and night which is especially important for little ones who aren't used to being away from home. We have a large fully fenced and large back yard in a forest-like setting and miles of trails for leash walks. Also a smaller fenced area within the larger fenced yard for late night or early morning relief. Your pet will never be outside without me.

About: I've had a lot of different breeds around me growing up and, I love every kind! I've helped family and neighbors growing up. I used to help shelter animals as a volunteer because I have big heart for all animals. Im not currently working right now. So I'm picking this up as a weekly job with full open availability, except for Friday,Saturday and Sunday. I hope to have a pawsome time with your puppy! I don't have a fenced in yard but I have enough yard for any dog. I will be able to accept more than one family's dog at a time but, only up to 3 and only if the others pet is pet friendly. They get let out every other hour to two hours. 2-3 meals a day depending on the dogs diet or size. We also go on walks and play a few hours of the day.
About: Hi! I'm Gwen, a lifelong dog lover and proud dachshund mom. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every dog in my care like one of my own. I have experience with small breeds, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs that need extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of love, communication, and one-on-one care I provide. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and your time away stress-free. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. As a dachshund owner, my days revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I take time to learn each pet's personality, habits, and comfort level to help reduce stress and keep them feeling secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: We've had dogs our whole lives and love the joy they bring us. We've been pet sitting on and off for the last 3 years and would love the chance to take care of your family member! Jathan works from home every day and Dani's office is dog-friendly and we have some flexibility between the two of us to both do work from home days. If your pup absolutely has to have someone there at all times or has medication needs, we can also rearrange schedules to have both of us work from home, or bring them along to the office! We have a patio dog door, allowing dogs to spend time inside if they wish or to let themselves outside to sunbathe, chase squirrels or burn off any energy if home alone. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard that everyone always has access to. In the summer we try to spend a lot of time back there relaxing, chasing bubbles and throwing the ball. We do have a hairless cat who typically stays in my sister's bedroom under the blankets. We make sure she has her safe space by not allowing even our dogs free access to her room and when we have new doggie friends, we typically put up an extra gate in the hall just to make sure everyone has their space.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and would love to care for yours! My Golden wants some new friends! We actually prefer larger dogs, so if you are having a hard time finding a sitter for your big dog...you just found the perfect place! I work from home with my own business, so can set my hours. I am typically free Mon-Fri for Doggy Day Care. Have plenty of time for fun in the yard, pool play and snuggles. I have a very large fenced in yard with lots of space to run and play. My Golden Retriever Chance loves making new friends! We have lots of house space and your dog will be treated as part of our family.
About: I’m a dog owner and lover who treats every pet like part of the family. Our home is a peaceful, lakefront retreat where dogs get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment to feel safe and loved while you’re away. Each dog will have their own private space and we have a puppy community areas indoors for the winter. Our backyard is not currently fenced but will be fully fenced in with a 6ft fence by March. We have 2 lovely dogs ourselves, a male mini Aussie and female puppy golden retriever. I’ve grown up around pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we provide a structured, nurturing environment with lots of supervision, play, and one-on-one attention. Your pup won’t just be boarded—they’ll be on vacation. From cozy private spaces to outdoor time and daily updates, we make sure every dog truly lives the good life while staying at our lakefront home. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Your dog will never be left alone or unattended in our home. My wife, our in-house assistant, and I work together to ensure dogs are seamlessly cared for throughout the day in a calm, structured environment. My wife is home full-time and is the primary caregiver during the day. She handles feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest periods, and one-on-one attention. Her background in childcare as a nanny translates perfectly into maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and providing patient, attentive care. Our in-house assistant is also home full-time and supports daily care by assisting with supervised play, cleaning and sanitizing spaces, meal prep, and individual check-ins. This allows us to keep our dog-to-human ratio low and give each pup personalized attention. I’m actively involved as well, helping with morning and evening routines, enrichment activities, and overall supervision. With multiple adults present at all times, dogs are rotated through play, rest, and care schedules so no pup is ever overwhelmed or overlooked. Because we are always home, dogs receive frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and plenty of affection—just like they would with their own family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We’ve intentionally created a calm, structured environment where dogs are closely supervised and cared for at all times. Our home is never unattended—my wife, our in-house assistant, and I are always present, ensuring constant supervision throughout the day and night. Dogs are cared for in a controlled setting with private, comfortable spaces to rest and decompress, helping reduce stress and overstimulation. We maintain strict cleanliness and safety standards, including regular sanitizing of all dog areas, food and water bowls, and shared spaces. We follow each dog’s individual care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to potty routines and any special needs. We are selective about the dogs we accept to ensure a safe, positive environment for everyone. This allows us to maintain a low dog-to-human ratio, closely monitor behavior, and give each pup the attention they deserve. For added peace of mind, we provide regular photo and video updates so you can see your dog happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Our goal is to create a trusted home-away-from-home where you can travel confidently knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in great hands.

About: I started doing this because I found it hard to find somewhere safe and loving for our dog to stay when we went out of town, and want to help other people! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands‑on pet‑sitting experience for family and friends, and a full, happy home of my own with two cats and one dog. I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs, and even spent six years raising a chameleon — so I’m no stranger to unique routines or special care. Whether it’s keeping your pets active, cozy, or simply feeling loved while you’re away, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine affection to every visit. Your animals will be treated like part of my family. Our dog Yeti is very gentle and loves other dogs. I also can take care of your other pets - fish, birds, and reptiles! I’m currently a stay at home wife so I have plenty of time and attention to give to your fur baby. Yeti and I go on long daily walks and play fetch in the backyard. I can care for pets at our home or your home. At my home, I would only have one dog at a time. We have a fenced backyard. I would also love to drop into your home, and give your dog a walk or spend time your pet while you are away.
About: I’ve been lucky enough to be trusted with baby sitting, house sitting, and pet sitting for the past 10+ years. I pride myself on building honest and positive relationships that last and would be honored to be trusted with your home and/or animals! With a rescue pup of my own, I can promise to provide the same unconditional love and commitment to your sweeties, as I do my own. I am an educator who works part time over the summers! I also only live about 6 minutes from my part time job which gives me the opportunity to have an extremely open and flexible schedule! I am extremely observant and pay attention to detail. As an educator, it is my job to be able to multitask while also fostering emotional and comfort needs. I make sure to do everything to the fullest including following your needs and anticipating what your loved one may want/need next!

About: As your pet's second best friend, I offer tailored care, genuine love, and a paw-sitively unforgettable experience! I am well educated in dog training, ensuring they’re mentally and physically stimulated, to overall pet health. I take care of my dog to the fullest extent, your dog will be treated all the same as a new member of the pack! To ensure safety and health, we don’t play right after eating to avoid bloat, I am very conscious of heat on their paws when walking on different surfaces, I avoid rawhide treats and go with homemade or very natural treats instead, and those are just scratching the surface of do’s and don’ts! I keep a structured but flexible routine, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency. I prioritize walks, potty breaks throughout the day, and lots of playtime and enrichment. I’m home often and very intentional about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a well-socialized dog, Dilo, who has a background in working in high stress environments to not be reactive. Nonetheless, I always do slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If needed, I can crate or provide separate spaces for rest and decompression. Inside my home, I maintain a clean, structured environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I closely monitor interactions, follow feeding instructions carefully, and stick to your dog’s routine as closely as possible so they maintain some sense of routine while being away from home.

These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.

“Avery took excellent care for our puppy! She was so friendly and easy to work with. I could tell our puppy was well cared for, and had fun. She even got to go to soccer practice, which I am sure she loved! I will definitely book with her again!”
“Great Communication with Megan & David for my 1st time leaving Jackson with a new Rover sitter. I was even welcomed to do a meet and greet that went well. It left me very comfortable leaving Jackson for 5 nights. I received pictures and updates on how he was adjusting. I have already set up some more stays for some trips I have planned. I highly recommend Megan & David for the care of your dog.”
“Hazbleydy I. & her husband were great! My dog can be very anxious and is usually not fond of new people but she had a great time at their house. Hazbleydy kept me updated with pictures the entire time, and even went out to get supplies for my dog that had ran out of during the stay. I would highly recommend her!”
“Highly recommend! Great care and affordable. I received pictures and video of my dog during her stay. It was like having her stay with family. Already planning to bring my dog back for our next trip. Thanks Richelle!”
“Katie and her family treated Vivi like one of their own. From text messages to confirm preferences, to photos and videos of Vivi playing, it was clear that we picked the right Rover to watch our pup during vacation. Highly recommend Katie to anyone trying avoid the traditional "puppy prison" boarding options!”
“I was so nervous about leaving our newly rescued bulldog when we went on our first trip. Paula and Thom put all of my worries at ease instantly. Clearly dog-people, they showed him great attention during our meet and greet, asked thoughtful questions about his personality and preferences, and demonstrated a real knowledge and care for dogs. During our trip, I received frequent photos, which I appreciated immensely. Mack seemed to settle right in and make himself at home. Thank you, Paula and Thom, for your thoughtful care of Mack!”
“April was a great puppy sitter. I have a 4 month old miniature poodle. HOLLY. Holly fell in love with April. I can tell Holly was very well cared for. I will be using her again. Highly recommend. I loved she sent Pics daily.”
“Look no further!! Barbara is your best option. She met our dogs and asked questions about them before we dropped them off so there was great communication and Connection. She messaged every day with pictures and updates. The dogs absolutely love her. On day one they were already cuddling! Thank you, Barbara for being amazing!”
“Best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Dani watched my 2 boxers and loved them like they were her own. She is extremely experienced with dog behavior and knew how to care for my temperamental female boxer. I will definitely be using Dani again!!”
“Susan we great with our oddball fogs, Baxter and Wiley. Both dogs have anxiety issues and Susan was great to make them as comfortable as can be. She had 2 other dogs that she was sitting at the time and Baxter loved running the yard with them both. Wiley seemed to like the recliners in her “dog pad” in the basement. Without a doubt, we will call on Susan again!”
“Ava was really nice and greeted my puppy very sweetly. I left my pup with her for the night and she did great taking care of him. She was very flexible with dropping and picking up time. Would definitely recommend her and world like to work with her next time! 😊”
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.

About: I’m a dog owner and lover who treats every pet like part of the family. Our home is a peaceful, lakefront retreat where dogs get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment to feel safe and loved while you’re away. Each dog will have their own private space and we have a puppy community areas indoors for the winter. Our backyard is not currently fenced but will be fully fenced in with a 6ft fence by March. We have 2 lovely dogs ourselves, a male mini Aussie and female puppy golden retriever. I’ve grown up around pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we provide a structured, nurturing environment with lots of supervision, play, and one-on-one attention. Your pup won’t just be boarded—they’ll be on vacation. From cozy private spaces to outdoor time and daily updates, we make sure every dog truly lives the good life while staying at our lakefront home. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Your dog will never be left alone or unattended in our home. My wife, our in-house assistant, and I work together to ensure dogs are seamlessly cared for throughout the day in a calm, structured environment. My wife is home full-time and is the primary caregiver during the day. She handles feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest periods, and one-on-one attention. Her background in childcare as a nanny translates perfectly into maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and providing patient, attentive care. Our in-house assistant is also home full-time and supports daily care by assisting with supervised play, cleaning and sanitizing spaces, meal prep, and individual check-ins. This allows us to keep our dog-to-human ratio low and give each pup personalized attention. I’m actively involved as well, helping with morning and evening routines, enrichment activities, and overall supervision. With multiple adults present at all times, dogs are rotated through play, rest, and care schedules so no pup is ever overwhelmed or overlooked. Because we are always home, dogs receive frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and plenty of affection—just like they would with their own family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We’ve intentionally created a calm, structured environment where dogs are closely supervised and cared for at all times. Our home is never unattended—my wife, our in-house assistant, and I are always present, ensuring constant supervision throughout the day and night. Dogs are cared for in a controlled setting with private, comfortable spaces to rest and decompress, helping reduce stress and overstimulation. We maintain strict cleanliness and safety standards, including regular sanitizing of all dog areas, food and water bowls, and shared spaces. We follow each dog’s individual care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to potty routines and any special needs. We are selective about the dogs we accept to ensure a safe, positive environment for everyone. This allows us to maintain a low dog-to-human ratio, closely monitor behavior, and give each pup the attention they deserve. For added peace of mind, we provide regular photo and video updates so you can see your dog happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Our goal is to create a trusted home-away-from-home where you can travel confidently knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in great hands.
