“John took great care of our dog, and was excellent to work with. Prompt communication, and he was very accommodating and supportive with an injury our dog has. Highly recommend.”
“Lisa is fabulous! Our pup had a great time and was definitely snuggled and loved on when she stayed there. We loved the daily photo updates! We will definitely be using Lisa again!”
“Luna had a great time with Christina. Receiving the photos of Luna with a smile on her face was so reassuring to us while we were away on vacation. Luna had a wonderful time with Christina's children and their dog Rylee. Christina did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Luna. I can tell she misses your family.”
“Susan is so thoughtful and attentive. It was our first time leaving our boys with her and she did a great job with her communication with us and care of our pugs. We will use her again!”
“Our pup Lily looked very comfortable at Gabes place. She is a nervous pup to begin with so it was a relief to see her at ease. I also appreciated the text update with pucture. Thank you Gabe!”
“This was my second time booking with Nicole, before I could even shut my car door my dog was racing to the house with excitement. Nicole sends photo and video updates so you rest assure your fur baby is having fun and being loved.”
“Melissa and her family were the most gracious hosts for our fur baby, Ozzie. He felt right at home and all the pictures of him playing, lounging, and enjoying treats was all the proof we needed that we made the best choice with Melissa. We will absolutely rebook the next time we have an out of town trip.”
“Michael and Anne are fantastic! They really care about your pet and are great with our high energy pup. This is our second time boarding with them and we will definitely use them again!”
“Misty was phenomenal with our dog Samson. He's a big dog and she walked him, she cared for him she took pictures of him. Wow, I was so impressed and felt so comfortable her. Misty's children loved on him. It was a beautiful experience and I will definitely use her as many times as I can!”
“Patrica is THE BEST. We’ve left our little guy with her several times. She takes him on lots of walks every day and sends lots of pictures and video updates. Apollo is always excited to hang out with his buddies (her other dogs)”
“Thank you Beka and Ryan, This was Sandie's first visit and she came home totally relaxed and happy. She not only made two new friends people friends, but also two new doggie friends as well !! I have already scheduled her next visit and now feel comfortable knowing we can go on our weekend trips and know that our daughter is in great hands.”
“The best sitter we have met on Rover. Our Dachshund moped for days after coming back home... She definitely didn't miss us during vacation as much as we missed her! Lots of pictures and videos during the stay provide peace of mind that your dog is receiving the best possible treatment. We feel very fortunate to have found Teah on Rover and we'll rebook without hesitation.”
“Amanda was wonderful with our dog! I hope to use her again in the future because she sent me updates and I could see that my dog was safe and happy which made me happy. This was my first experience using Rover.com and I'm so glad that I gave it a try -- especially because of the great care given by Amanda. My dog seemed to respond much better with the in home experience as opposed to the regular dog boarding places -- like a home away from home. Thanks again Amanda!!!!”
“Jenna was very communicative and our bulldog loved staying with her. Her house is a beautiful setup for any furry friend. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with Jenna. Thank you again!!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including both large and small dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and fish. My professional background includes working at a veterinary clinic for several months, followed by a year and a half at an animal humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with diverse needs. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to build my knowledge of canine behavior, safety, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided dog and house sitting services for family friends. I am experienced in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and specialized care they require. As a lifelong animal lover, I also care for a variety of pets of my own, including three dogs, five cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish. My hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments allows me to provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. I work Monday through Friday, typically from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate full days to giving your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and always follow the owner's instructions and routine. I strive to provide at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment activities during each visit. For pets without access to a fenced yard, I also provide approximately 30 minutes of neighborhood walks, depending on the pet's age, size, energy level, and overall health. Afterward, I continue engaging them with indoor play or enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
“Tasha and Joseph were life savers for a last minute first time booking and clearly incredible hosts for my pup Rumi. He got comfortable with them very quickly which says a lot about their understanding of dog behavior and ability to comfort a pup with separation anxiety. Rumi got lots of play and was very tired when he got home. I really appreciate y’all!”
“Bonnie went above and beyond to care for our pup during the blizzard. She made sure she had warm clothing to go out for walks. She was concerned when she wasn’t using the bathroom and contacted me for updates. She is the best pup nanny!”
“So happy we found Chrissy! I was very worried about leaving my doggy alone, but she made the experience very enjoyable. She sent me pictures of my dog every day and was easy to contact. I would recommend!”

“Callie was great with communication and solved a problem with a food mixup to make sure our dogs were taken care of. She is definitely someone I recommend for drop in support. Thanks Callie!”
“Oli was a great house sitter and companion for our senior cat Tigger. She is reliable, trustworthy, and kept us updated each day so we wouldn’t worry. She kept the plants and flowers watered, and the house was clean and neat when we got home. We will definitely use her again, and highly recommend her. Thanks Oli!”
“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Hazel while I was out of town. Hazel has several specific needs, like medicine, special feeding instructions, and grooming needs, and Emma handled her complexity with care. She sent daily updates while I was away, which gave me peace of mind to know Hazel was being looked after during a stressful time. Emma absolutely came through for us and I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Tons of pictures and videos, kept me well informed, and was able to make the visit work on short notice without a chance to meet the beasts before I left. Will be using Cora in the future!”
“Constance was amazing. She went way above and beyond to not only help my kitty while we were out of the country but she helped my uncle that was watching the house for us with questions on the other animals, my kiddos and just helped him with anything. She is truly amazing and a gem. I am so happy I found her and would highly recommend her for any need you have! The comfort I felt being on my honeymoon knowing my animals, home and kids had an extra living set of hands helping was a true blessing!”
“Amber watched our kitties for 5 days through drop in visits. From the start, Amber was very communicative and met us and the kitties before our trip! Every day we got at least two photos with descriptions. Amber even communicated with us through WhatsApp to make sure we received updates. It doesn’t stop there- one of our kitties is having trouble pooping in the litter box. Without trouble/hesitation, Amber assured me it wouldn’t be a problem and she made sure to take care of any messes and showed our kitty love. We are so happy that we were able relax knowing our kitties were in good hands!”
“Bethany took excellent care of my shy cat. She went above & beyond gaining his trust, so much so that he actually left his hiding spot while she visited! I would recommend her in a heartbeat for those with shy pets.”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
“I recently moved to Ohio and needed to find a new pet sitter. This process has always been so stressful, needing a person my pets liked and I trusted. I lucked out when I found Cheryl! She is a true animal lover who is professional, trustworthy and genuinely kind. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have grown up having cats and dogs my whole life. I absolutely love taking care of them and giving them as much love as I can all the time. I have experience with walking mine and my friends dogs, and I've also volunteered with dogs and walked dogs from shelters. I currently work part time as a pet counselor at Petland where some of my responsibilities include helping take care of small animals and assisting the kennel technicians with the care of our puppies. I am newly married and am wanting to make some side money while working part time. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my free time than with dogs and cats and loving and caring for them. I am extremely flexible to help out, I was a previous college athlete and I'm very active throughout my day, I can help with dog walking, as well as looking after your pets. I am trustworthy and can guarantee I'll give your dogs/ cats plenty of kisses and cuddles. I love walks myself and love to take dogs on long walks. I can bathe them, brush them, feed them, and overall just play with them and give your dogs and cats lots of attention.
“Kelsey was so great to our three cats while we took a well needed vacation. This was the first time we had left them home alone together and in a new house too. We were very curious everyday to see the checkin photos, how they gradually started to anticipate her arrivals and play time, our attention loving boy Walter seemed to have gotten pretty affectionate with her like he wanted her to take him home with her. Absolutely recommend and will rebook Kelsey if she is available in the future.”
“I D K if my other reviews showed up as my phone is not right!! I can’t see them. Courtney V is fantastic, has a sweet personality, is confident and exceeded my expectations!!! I will recommend her to all who need her ❤️💜”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I got my dog in college and have been dedicated to his care no matter what. Through moves and full time jobs, he has always been #1. He is a senior now and needs a little extra attention in regards to mobility, so I am comfortable with that. When he was younger he had BOUNDLESS energy as well and was eager to please. I’ve seen both sides and love them and all the traits in between Pet care is a 24/7 deal. They give us unconditional love so we should always be dedicating ourselves to the same. Daily walks, exercise and for sniffing are both beneficial and also just someone to sit by and patrol the neighborhood I care for pets how their owners would because that’s what will make the dog the most comfortable with a new person in their environment. I will always follow the clients routines and expectations
“Michelle exceeded our expectations. She cared for our cat Gracie as if she were hers. She was prompt with her visits and feedback/updates. We will be requesting her again without question!”

About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
“Parisa is one of the nicest and most caring people I’ve met. In fact, I just met her and I could tell this instantly. I definitely trust that she provided my pup with the best and most loving care. I will 100% be using her again. Thanks again, Parisa!”
About: I've taken care of my family dog for 6 years, and I also was entrusted with my friends and family's dogs since I was 9. Currently, I am doing volunteer work and shadowing physicians as I am home for the summer from college. I am available majority of the week and weekends. I make sure to let our animals have their separate spaces for when they are in need of a rest. They also have fulltime access to food and water, and I have a fenced in yard with enough room to run around. In a client's home I will make sure your pet has food, water, and a clean place to go to the bathroom. I will ensure they are mentally stimulated with plenty of play time and cuddle time.
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!
“Beka and Ryan cared for my Cavapoo Tino for a second time on short notice. Tino happily went inside when he was dropped off for his second day. He was also happy and content when he was picked up. Communication with Beka was great. I would use Beka and Ryan again.”
About: Hi there! I’m Andrew—a lifelong animal lover with a big heart and an even bigger soft spot for furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and always treat every animal like family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with pics and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether you have a playful pup, a chill senior, or a shy kitty—I’d be honored to care for them like they’re my own. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your furry companion! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. I build in time for morning and evening walks, play sessions, feeding routines, and any special care your pet may need. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended sitting, I’m able to adapt my routine to fit your pet’s needs and keep them comfortable, happy, and loved. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do everything I can to maintain their normal routine and create a stress-free environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or bedtime routines—and I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, preferences, and quirks. I always treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. If I’m providing care in my own home (depending on the service), I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods, and I keep a close eye on their behavior, comfort, and health throughout their stay. In both settings, communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I have loved animals ever since I was born. They are my favorite thing in life. I will treat your animal with the most love I can offer. I’m more of a stay-at-home person, so when I am committed to watching your pet, they will be well taken care of while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space for a dog to play in! I have 2 cats but they are very antisocial and won’t be a problem. I’m also a quick learner and a natural when it comes to pet care!
About: My family loves animals and we would love to take in your pet for the day! We have a dog park and love to go on walks during the evening. Cats are also welcome as we love to snuggle them ❤️. Your pets will be safe and loved in our care and I am able to communicate with you over phone as much as you need during their stay. We currently just moved from an apartment to a townhome so we have a bit more space now for the animals to lounge around and play! I’m a full time at home mom! Taking care of animals makes me so happy. I always hoped to go into Veterinary medicine one day. Right now I have all the free time in the world to take care of your pets when needed ❤️ Pets will be able to run and play in our home. Feeding will depend on how often you need me to feed. Potty breaks often. Dog park on days with nice weather or walks through the trails in our neighborhood!
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
About: Ive been pet sitting since I was 12 years old and have only gained experience and skills since then. Ive been boarding, training, walking, and feeding animals of all sorts for years. I’m a very flexible person. If your baby needs multiple walks, a strict schedule, or just a lot of affection I’m enthusiastic to fill their needs. I have experience with all ages, blind, deaf, and other needs, various breeds, and sizes. I also have experience with emergency medical care and administering medications. My work history also includes handling and caring for multiple dogs at once. In addition to that, I also have experience working with animals that cannot be around other dogs or animals and know how safely care for them. Safety, health, and happiness of the animals is my priority in that order. I can make my own schedule so I have open availability. Evenings, weekends, or holidays. None are a conflict. I keep my calendar up to date. I have two fenced in dog parks on my property. I'm minutes away from multiple parks with trails. I make sure I follow the given schedule but at the same time offer new and stimulating experiences
About: Your Pup's new bestie! You can trust your pup with this safe and caring dog lover ! I provide fun and cozy care for your furry friend while you're away. As a Leadership and Financial Coach who works from home, I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. My own beloved dog, Kara, is part of my family—she enjoys a balanced meal of boiled turkey, sweet potatoes, and dry duck food, and we share daily walks in our safe, quiet neighborhood. Every afternoon at 5:00 PM, we take a special pause for fun playtime together. I live in a welcoming end-unit townhome that features a lovely yard and a private walkout basement with plenty of grassy space. You can trust that I will care for your pet with the same love, warmth, and dedication as I do for my own. Your pet will be treated like my own pet, i.e., allowed on the furniture and bed, unless they use a crate or they have a bed. I use a retractable leash with built-in flashlight, that includes a poo bag holder. Happy to give them a bath with sensitive skin dog shampoo. If they need a nail trim, just let me know, it's a little extra but worth it. If I missed something, just let me know, happy to accommodate as I can. If I am at your house, I will follow your instructions according to your needs while also doing the same above.
“Joe and Laurie were awesome with our German Shepard. They provided lots of exercise (walks and playing ball in their backyard) and TLC. They also provided several photos during the day. I highly recommend them to other dog owners.”
About: Hi, I’m Courtney! Your dog’s new dependable best friend. With 15 years of experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and caring approach to every visit. I’m comfortable with all breeds, all sizes, and all personalities — from shy seniors to energetic puppies. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have dogs and guinea pigs at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and understood while keeping you updated every step of the way. Pet care is naturally built into my weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my drop-ins and walks to make sure every pet gets consistent, on-time care. I check in throughout the day, send updates, and make sure each visit has my full attention. On my days off, I’m even more flexible and can offer extra visit times. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, make sure their needs are met, keep their space clean, and give them plenty of attention. I provide calm, consistent care and always send updates each visit.

About: Doggies have been a fascination of mine for as long as I can remember. You could say I’m Dogs’ Best Friend! I’ve cared for pups as small as Yorkies and as big as Golden-doodles. Not only do I love dogs, I’ve been told that all dogs love me! Currently, I’m a Stay-at-Home Fur Mama. I own an in-house Wedding Planning Business so I have a plethora of time during the 9-5 to devote to your babies! We have a fenced in yard and a sweet 15-month doggo that loves making friends! Our neighborhood is perfect for walking our baby. I’d love to walk your dog in your neighborhood, at a park, or wherever your preference may be.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m responsible for feeding, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I’m familiar with different temperaments and can handle both energetic and shy animals. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs. I am a teacher full time so in the summer I am fully open to watch your animals! I can do walking, staying overnight, check ins! I do not have a fenced in yard at my house so I am well versed in always having a leash on my dogs! I have watched a variety of dogs and cats as well!
About: I’ve cared for many types of animals of different shapes and sizes in various animal shelter, grooming, and veterinary settings. From pets, to livestock, and exotic reptiles. I’m currently a veterinary technician student as well. Your Companion deserves Time, Love, and Care and my purpose in life is to provide them that. I’m very passionate about this line of work. As a current full time Remote Veterinary student, I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available 5 days week in the mornings and afternoons. When I care for your pet in your home my routine is to treat them like family and your home like a sacred space. I am more than willing to respect all boundaries put in place in order to do my job properly. I am a helicopter pet parent so your little guy or gal is safe with me.
“My dog, Maze, and I worked with Amber for several months with walks twice a week, she was always on time and left detailed information about how the walk went. I really appreciated Amber’s help and I know Maze loved her time with her.”
About: I'm a freelance animation writer and dog lover who has had dogs his entire life and enjoys walking and sitting his friend's dogs. Now I'm looking to walk and sit even more dogs to supplement my writing income while also taking advantage of my extremely flexible schedule. I'm very patient, attentive and affectionate with dogs. When I walk, my attention is on the dogs (not my phone) and when I dog sit, I treat your home how I'd like my home to be treated if someone was staying there (i.e. not really wandering around and/or touching stuff, ha) and again, all attention is on the dog. Otherwise, I'll just be writing away on my scripts. I absolutely love dogs and have raise several from puppies. This is also an outlet for me after the passing of a beloved elderly dog that I had since she was a puppy. I'd be happy to take excellent care of your dogs.
About: I have grown up having cats and dogs my whole life. I absolutely love taking care of them and giving them as much love as I can all the time.

I can bathe them, brush them, feed them, and overall just play with them and give your dogs and cats lots of attention.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday from 7-4, however I am fully remote and my job is relatively flexible. Working from home makes life easy as I can take time on my lunch break to do a quick walk or drop in with your fur babies. I’m also available before 7am and after 4pm on weekdays and available on the weekends. I do get bank holidays off and a decent amount of PTO which allows even more flexibility 🙂 While I’d love to welcome every pet into my home, I have a reactive dog of my own, so I currently only offer care in clients’ homes through drop ins, walks, and house sitting. The safety and comfort of your pets and mine will always come first 💕
About: Hello I’m James! I’ve always loved dogs, and I know that they’re more than pets… they’re family. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your best friend. My dog Auggie, has taught me the value of patience, consistency, and making every dog feel safe and loved. Pet care is a big part of my life as I love walking my dog Auggie and playing with him as much as possible. Looking after a dog is something I enjoy and not just a job! I have a flexible schedule this summer which allows me to provide reliable walks, drop ins, and visits throughout the week. When caring for pets, I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m in your home or taking your dog for a walk, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important communication is, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had many pets over the years, and I know how special and important they are in our lives. I have taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors; from puppies/ kittens to very special seniors. My children are adults now, so I am very flexible as far as scheduling goes, in order to meet your and your pet’s needs. I come to you! I will carry out your instructions in your pet’s own environment, and make sure they are safe and happy, keeping feedings in mind, as well as doors or gates that need to stay closed.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. In college, my sister and I rescued a dog together and shared custody, which was such a special experience. Loona had been taken from her mom at just a couple weeks old, so I learned early on how important patience, consistency, and lots of love really are. I’ve been around dogs with all kinds of personalities and backgrounds, and I love getting to know each one and learning what makes them unique. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, been dog sitting since I could drive, and grew up in a family that always had at least one dog in the house. Caring for dogs doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely love doing! I work 8–4:30 during the week, but since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to take short breaks for visits. Evenings are preferred, but I’m happy to work around schedules if needed. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and safe. I’m very respectful of your space and routines — having worked as a nanny for many years, I understand the importance of keeping a home tidy, following instructions, and leaving everything in great shape. My goal is always to make sure your pets are happy, cared for, and that your home is exactly as you left it… or even better!
About: I absolutely adore animals and have never lived a life without them. I adopted my very own sweet dog Sage at 18 (as soon as I was old enough) and she has been the light of my life. She has taught me a lot of patience and responsibility at a young age. She is definitely a wild girl but I wouldn’t trade her for the world! Since I have a dog I am pretty used to all of the craziness that comes with them like leash pulling, weird eating habits, mess, and of course slobber! I currently nanny from 9:00-5:00 Tuesday through Thursday so I am try to find something to fill that Friday-Monday gap! As I spend those days walking and caring for my own pup I figured I might as well look to see if I can help others! I am a very alert person when it comes to my dog as she is very shy and scared around certain things so I would have course be the same with anyone else’s dog! I would never want to put someone else’s baby in harms way so I am very cautious.
About: I have always loved animals and aspired to be a veterinarian. I will genuinely care for your dogs and treat them as if they were my own. I am a full time school psychologist with a husband and two young children. I will be available to care for pets on weekends and evenings. If close enough to my work, I can let dogs out on my lunch break. I have a fenced yard with two dogs. A lab and golden retriever mix and a bichon/maltese. I also have two cats. We have structured feeding and time outside for the dogs. The cats are indoor and regularly have food out and balance their feeding over time. I can also do basic grooming.
“Elle has walked our dogs for the last few weeks. She was responsive and punctual from the start. She also takes great care of them on their walks. Highly recommend. Great service and attitude!”
About: I provide dependable, personalized care with the added benefit of pre-veterinary experience, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I'm a recent college graduate available full-time for the summer! I'd love to hang out with your beloved, four-legged friends during the week and/or weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets feel secure through patience, positive interaction, and plenty of supervision, while always respecting the client’s home and keeping communication open with regular updates and photos.
“My dog Loki couldn’t have had a happier look on his face after his walk with Oli. Oli was very kind, understanding and handled our dog very well. Loki is not the easiest dog for a walk as everything needs to be his friend. Very professional service.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own menagerie of pets since I was a girl ranging from reptiles, rodents, small parrots, cats and dogs. Through college I volunteered on a horse farm where I cleaned and helped take care of 10 horses, also worked at a local pet store for 10 years as a floor manager and excelled in animal husbandry. In addition I worked part time as a veterinary assistant. I’m a dedicated, responsible, hardworking Momma of two wanting to share my passion for animals with others. I keep a variety of animals, book me for your reptile/small animal/aviary needs by selecting “cat” and let’s chat about what you need done while your away. I am currently home throughout the week and have a fairly open availability depending on your specific needs. Reach out and let’s chat. If I can’t help you I will let you know. I am responsible for 3 tortoises, 8 snakes, a few rats, a handful of leopard geckos, freshwater fish tanks, chameleons, dogs, a cat and let’s not forget my two babies. Keeping pets is my hobby and I’m passing this along to my young ones. Gone all day and have a new puppy that needs more attention. I’ve been there and can offer walks with BASIC obedience. My dogs have all received their good citizen award from attending training classes. Let’s chat!
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was little. I currently have two spoiled dogs of my own who I love to take for long walks. Your pets will be a high priority and I will make sure to send videos and pictures of our fun adventures. Whatever your pet enjoys to do I will make sure to accomplish that. Whether it is long walks in the neighborhood or park, staying home and playing fetch in the yard, or maybe just a good belly scratch and having someone to hang out with. If your okay with your pet being spoiled with treats and love then I am the perfect person for you. Whatever your dog needs, I am here to help.

“Luna had a great time with Christina. Receiving the photos of Luna with a smile on her face was so reassuring to us while we were away on vacation.

He felt right at home and all the pictures of him playing, lounging, and enjoying treats was all the proof we needed that we made the best choice with Melissa.

“Amanda was wonderful with our dog! I hope to use her again in the future because she sent me updates and I could see that my dog was safe and happy which made me happy. This was my first experience using Rover.com and I'm so glad that I gave it a try -- especially because of the great care given by Amanda. My dog seemed to respond much better with the in home experience as opposed to the regular dog boarding places -- like a home away from home. Thanks again Amanda!!!!”

“Tasha and Joseph were life savers for a last minute first time booking and clearly incredible hosts for my pup Rumi. He got comfortable with them very quickly which says a lot about their understanding of dog behavior and ability to comfort a pup with separation anxiety. Rumi got lots of play and was very tired when he got home. I really appreciate y’all!”

She asked lots of questions and made sure she knew how Simba was and made sure I was comfortable with what she had planned while Simba was there. She sent pics throughout the day and treated him like her own! Simba will be going back next week for a longer stay as I know he will be happy at Kiersten’s!”
“I simply cannot recommend Karen enough for your dog's vacay. She is WONDERFUL! I recent had a tough situation with my dog, Dex, coming down with a horrendous allergic reaction just in time for a business trip i had to make. And Karen stepped in, took care of him for the whole week, sent me pictures of him recovering. She was so enthusiastic to take care of him and also administer his medication on my behalf. I could not have left him with anyone else other than Karen, not even my friends, with the confidence that he will be well looked after. When I came back to town, Dex was almost back to his best and was healthy and happy! Karen, you ROCK!”
“This has been one of the most relaxed boarding experiences ever - Sandy was so wonderful and I think we are going to be regulars at her place :) My Elvis came back looking happy, healthy and missing his buddy. I loved the daily pictures and updates, and the drop-off/pick-up were very convenient. Thank you Sandy!”
“Erik is so great with our dog Finn! Finn is very high energy and can run anxious. He gets to run around a lot when he stays with Erik and we get lots of photo updates on how Finn is doing!”
