“This was our first experience boarding our pups and Angel exceeding all expectations. We made last minute plans to leave town right before the holidays, giving her 1 days notice. She was super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. I loved that they had their own indoor kennel area outside the house, so they can be pups and not intrude on someone else’s space—as we know how inquisitive our little friends can be. They had a comfortable area to rest & also a fenced in yard to run & play. We will continue to trust Angel in the future for all of our boarding needs!”
“Tami did such a great job watching our dogs! She allowed us to come over to see the place and meet her before we made a decision. While we were gone, she stayed in contact with us and sent pictures and updates each day. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable at their home. Our dogs were very relaxed and loved and we greatly appreciate Tami taking such good care of our dogs.”
“This was Bubba's first stay with someone other than family. Daisy made this whole experience great. Bubba seemed happy and really enjoyed hanging out with Bryna. I was put at ease with pictures and videos sent. Will be using Daisy and family for all our sitter needs in the future. Thanks again Daisy!”
“Ashlee greeted our dog first at a “meet and greet” at a local park and our pup was calm and comfortable. During our trip, Ashlee updated us on how her first 24 hours went and how she enjoyed playing with the other dogs. On our way back, approaching the Dayton area, she was kind enough to give Pippa a bath. Ashley’s provided kind, observant care to our young dog while we saw family out of state and we couldn’t be more pleased.”
“I am very satisfied with how she treated Marley, it was like he was part of their family, and that makes me feel very happy. I will definitely consider her watching him again. And I would recommend anyone to drop their fur babies off and good hands I wasn’t able to keep in contact due to not having service but when I did receive service, I had multiple pictures come through my phone and I felt great thank you again. I really appreciate you treating my buddy like your own”
“Karen was so professional and a wonderful, caring sitter for my lab, Seamus! She kept me up to date with pictures and text messages the entire time. Her patience and kindness was very appreciated!”
“Nathan had a blast! Because normally he gets scared going with strangers but the second day he didn’t even bother to look back. They are amazing with Nathan and great with communicating about him as well.”
“Jennifer treats your dog as if they're part of her own family. Her genuine love for animals truly shine through. We were beyond impressed with her care and attention! We'll absolutely be back!”
“The BEST pet sitter in the area! I’ve used several sitters and interviewed several more - without a doubt, her family treated my girl as one of their own! I had picks sent during her stay, and constant communication that shows she loves what she does ❤️. I even got a progress report and jump drive of videos and picks of her stay. My go to from now on! Thank you and I will be using you again, and again, and again 😍😊”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“I hate to leave a review and share our secret spot but... Anna was amazing with our skittish/grumpy mini dachshund. She walked, played with, and even did training with her. We received many pictures and videos while we were away. Our dog received so much attention and toy play that she came home and slept for about 3 days! We will definitely use Anna again!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”
About: I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog while you’re away. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos. I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and others and am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so their stay feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I work full time, but when I’m not at work I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. My daughter and I love spending time outside, going on walks, and playing in our large yard, so your dog can enjoy plenty of activity and playtime with us. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and get outside. I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine, and my daughter and I will give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.
“I have a 12 yo German Shepard. He's an old man now. We were going away for New Years and our normal sitter wasn't available. I was apprehensive about leaving him with someone new. Karin was spectacular. She was attentive to his needs and careful about his 'age' related shortcomings. She has a pup of her own and a young son who loved my boy. Karin sent plenty of pics of him and was very communicative during his stay, asking questions to make sure behaviors were normal and making sure he'd tolerate the environment there! I don't know how many stays my old man has left in him, but Karin is definitely the person I'd want watching him when I leave!”
About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten.

I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible.

I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home.

“Our second time using Addi and our cats just love her. She is a star! As long as she is available we will schedule with her. She loves our cats like they are her own and takes her job seriously. She always provides detailed updates and does everything that is asked & more. Thanks, Addi!!”
“Leah was absolutely amazing the entire time! We were recently new to the area and were pretty nervous doing Rover for the first time. All of the anxiety and stress, went out the door once we met Leah and saw how caring she was for Loki. She was super attentive for his behavior and mood changes that happened. Couldn’t ask for a better person to watch our mischievous one.”
“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats both in and outside of veterinary care! I’ve worked with socializing kittens through their early months in life and helping sharpe young kittens. I also have experience caring for senior cats and giving them their medications. I ensure that your cat is happy and all their needs are met when I take care of them. For boarding, I have a full cage to provide a feeling of safety being in an unknown place. I also have a litter box and toys already but you’re able to bring whatever your kitty may need.
About: I've taken care of many got my friends cats while they've been away. I also have 2 cats of my own that I love dearly. I truly enjoy spending time with cats and making them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experienced caring for many different personalities- from playful and social to shy. I always adjust my approach to sit each cats needs. I treat every cat like it’s my own and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.
“Anna took great care of my cat who doesn’t do well being left alone. Katy was calm and happy when I returned. Anna kept in touch and sent pictures. My house was clean when I returned. Anna’s awesome and I highly recommend her if you looking for a cat sitter.”
About: I’ve lived in houses with pets my whole life ranging from dogs of all different breeds, cats, bunnies, and goats :) I have a lot of love for animals. I enjoy spending time with them and getting to see their personalities. I’m currently working a seasonal job so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I have a flexible schedule so most days I should be available! I take extra care and consideration for every owner that allows me to sit in their house. I follow the instructions given to me as well as leave everything the way I found it. I wash and put away everything I used during my stay. And of course I will give your pets all the love I have!!🩷
“Erin was so reliable during my week-long trip and made sure my pet got his medication and plenty of affection every day. Thanks, Erin!! You helped make the trip less stressful knowing he was being taken care of well. I will definitely try to re-book with you next time I need a pet sitter”
“Taylor took great care of my two cats. She was a great communicator while I was away, when one of my cats threw up, and gave my cat his daily gabapentin while I was away on a trip. Very communicative and trustworthy.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was born. Have always been very passionate about them and their care. I have 2 of my own! Let me treat your cats as I would treat mine, nothing but love and respect! (and maybe an unhealthy amount of treats)
“Jayson did absolutely amazing with my 3 pups this week and they get excited to see him for their drop in visits! I’m glad they didn’t scare him away so he can keep doing drop in visits with them 🐶🐶🐶”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.

“Katherine took care of our dog while we were driving through Dayton and wanted to visit the USAF museum. She was a great communicator, she had the perfect yard, and my dog came back to us happy! I would rebook again if I lived in the area!”
“Angel is very good with dogs, caring and empathetic to their needs. She was also friendly and helpful to us personally as out-of-towners. Hers is more of a boarding situation with a separate building and individual kennels with several dogs present. This was intimidating for both of our smaller dogs, especially our rescue, but they calmed after a bit. Angel did put them in a back kennel away from the other dogs which helped.”
“Arlissa is so great with Zoey. Every time Zoey is dropped off she gets so excited, which is so nice to see as a pet parent. Arlissa also sends photo and video of Zoey. Overall, I highly recommend.”
About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game
“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”
“Elya sent plenty of pictures of the stay, my sam looked genuinely happy as he was receiving all the belly scratches he could ask for, was flexible with pickup and drop off day of as I was not sure when I originally booked, she followed my care instruction to a T has been one of my best rover sitters yet will definitely use again! Thanks so much from me &sam again!”
“Brandy & Brandon were amazing at updating me throughout the day with photos and videos while I was running errands! My dogs had a blast and came home pooped! My older dog can be picky with people but he seemed so comfortable. I would highly recommend them.”
About: We have a 9 year old mixed breed and a 4 year old mixed breed. I have cared for many family members' and friends' animals. Skilled in training, grooming, and loving all breeds and sizes of dog! I am able to work from home during the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I am open to all schedules at this time. We own our home with a partially fenced yard and a dog line. My husband is also a dog-lover, and we are both very active with animals. Our dogs are very friendly with others, and they love to play and cuddle with friends.
“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!
“Catherine and Adam were a pleasure to meet and to trust with our dear Nala. Drop-off was easy and dog-wise, both for making Nala feel at home and for meeting new friends (canine, feline and human). The pix throughout the day helped me feel connected and assured. Will definitely trust them again with Nala care needs.💞💞💞”
“Andrea stepped in at the last minute when long laid plans blew apart. She sent pictures thru the day showing how at home my pet felt staying there. I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone that wants a friendly safe environment for watching your pet.”
About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.
About: I have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’ve also had plenty of experience dog and cat sitting, and I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and energy levels. During visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I work part-time as a counselor, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. On days I don’t have client sessions, I have even more daytime availability and can often accommodate additional or last-minute visits. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits and do my best to stay consistent with your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I take time to understand each pet’s personality—whether they need extra playtime or a calm, gentle approach—and always make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space.
“The best sitter! I highly recommend Kristol for doggy day care. My shy, little puppy was right at home at Kristol's. I received pictures throughout the day of my sweet pup playing and relaxing. She even helped my girl with her potty training. Trusting someone else with your furbaby can be so stressful! But I completely trust Kristol, and cannot say enough good things!”
“Tara and her family provided a wonderful, safe, and caring daycare environment for my two small dogs. She is professional, kind, and thoughtful. I scheduled her right away to board my two dogs for an upcoming weekend trip.”
About: I have over 20 years experience raising puppies, training dogs, and caring for dogs. I will treat your dog like my own. Contact early to guarantee availability I work remotely and dogs are monitored closely. We care for your pet just like one of our family dogs. Well behaved dogs are welcome to be uncrated in our home. All are leash walked on our property. can offer crate training, housebreaking, and also have many extras clients can choose from. Dogs are kept here just like at home for the least stress possible.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a teenager and I cannot imagine life without at least one. I have seen an uptick in requests from family and neighbors to take care of their furry friends when they are away and am always happy to do so. I am dedicated to making sure that their pets feel as comfortable in my home as they would in their own. I currently work from home the majority of the time and my wife works from home full time. Between the two of us we have enough flexibility to let dogs out in the yard to play or take them on short walks. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own, Smokey. If house-trained, I like to let dogs have the run of the house. I will crate dogs if I have to leave the house, at least until I get a sense of how they do on their own.

About: ASK ABOUT WHAT DISCOUNTS AND PROMOTIONS I CURRENTLY HAVE Hey, I’m sure you’re wondering “why should I let this guy near my precious animal?” or something or that nature. Well here’s some basic info for you. -I’m a pet owner of 2 absolutely adorable troublemakers that I’ve raised since they were kittens so I can keep animals alive for extended time. I’ve also lived with roommates who had their own pets and have plenty of experience caring for other peoples animals. -I use to work/volunteer at an animal shelter when I was in college for a year so I have a experience working one on one and with groups of animals -Friends and family always remark on how well I get along with animals and how much I absolutely love them more than humans -I am very cooperative/receptive with your pets needs and your wishes! It’s your pet so you’ll know more than me what they need when it comes to their care. Trust me as a fellow pet owner I know! -I’m always happy to answer questions before you’d like to use me so ask away!

Try and give them a clean and safe environment, with plenty of food and water and a clean litter box.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds and ages since I can remember. We had cats growing up and they were the light of my life. Every day I looked forward to coming home and knowing they would be there waiting for me to give them all the love. Starting in high school is when I began to get familiar with dogs as well. Neighbors, friends, and family have all taught me so much and then began relying on me to love and care for their fur babies. Which included anywhere from walking, feeding, grooming, and overall well-being. I've done quite a bit of house sitting recently and have no problem with cleaning when needed as well. I can promise you that your fur babies will be treated as if they are my own. Animals have a special place in my heart, they become more than pets, they become family and I intend to treat and care for them as such. I will be starting classes again soon, which are online so pet care fits perfectly into my daily/weekly routine. I'll be able to create a schedule that works well for school and being able to give the best attention I can to pet care. Currently I am able to care for pets at the client's home if it is for dogs. For cats special arrangements can be made for me to watch them here at my home. I have quite a bit of experience with house/pet sitting for current clients. Starting with a visit to the clients home to go over anything they would like to discuss, meeting the pets, and I also bring some questions of my own. To make sure I have all my bases covered. My main goal is to make sure the clients feel safe with me taking care of not only their pets but also their home. For cats here I have plenty of room for a cat to roam and play with plenty of sunlight and a cat box and food/water bowls if the client does not want to transport their own. We do have an older husky (incredibly friendly and quiet), but my room is on the second floor and has a door that I can shut to keep the downstairs (where our dog spends 99% of his time) closed off if your cat does not like dogs.

About: I have had animals my entire life, I love them all; big and small. I treat them all as my own. I can be found on the floor playing with a dog almost anywhere I go. Your best friend is in good hands with me as I am home full time and would like to do what I love and that is working with animals. I find working with animals to be fulfilling and makes me happy to keep them company while their people are at work or away and unable to do so. Working with animals in a non-veterinary setting is my dream job and I hope to make some new friends in the process. I will send pictures, updates, and make sure your buddy is happy and loved while you are away. I am with them 24/7 for the most part and this is what I do, so my rates reflect my experience and dedication to being the best pet sitter for you and your furry friends. You can count on me to care for furry friends in a gentle and thorough manner as if they were my own. I am home full time, your fur babies will have constant care while they are with me. I love being home and cuddling up with my fur buddies. I have 2 dogs and a cat. Safety is my number one priority. I’m never away for very long. I never open an entry door without making sure that my dogs are gated or behind another interior door away from a point of escape. I am very familiar with even the sneakiest of escape artist’s, so I will ask to see all points of entry/exit of your home at our meet and greet. Your fur babies’ safety is in good hands with me and my ultimate priority. (I plan around physician appointments and other drop ins)
“Isabel did an awesome job communicating her time spent with Gemma! I loved seeing where they walked and getting a report on how Gemma did:) loved getting pictures throughout the day:). We will definitely ask Isabel to care for Gemma again!”
About: Dependable, loving, experience with horses and dogs of all breeds. I have had dogs all of my life until now. I love them from puppy to senior stages! I am currently unemployed so I am available during the week at any time. Last minute calls are ok with me. Weekends, I am flexible. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I prefer to walk your dog in their own area. However, I will gladly take them to a park for walks also.
About: I bring a calm, loving, down-to-earth approach to pet care—think fresh air, happy tails, and lots of attention. I have experience with playful puppies who are learning the ropes and sweet senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I’m big on reading each dog’s energy so they feel safe and cared for. Your pup will get plenty of movement, affection, and that “like family” kind of care. I am a Registered Nurse working per diem contract assessments so that I can work from home. My husband and I have two pups and two cats! We are avid animal lovers. My goal is to make your pet feel like life is still good while you’re away 😊 I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and full of love—with movement and plenty of one-on-one attention. I follow your pet’s natural rhythm, whether that’s playful and active or slow and cozy. In your home, I respect your space and keep things tidy; in mine, pets are welcomed into a peaceful, homey environment where they can relax and feel safe.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have been training and showing my Aussies since I was little. I wash and groom my own dogs. I am currently training and showing my dogs in agility, rally, obedience, scentwork, and conformation. We compete in AKC (American Kennel Club), ASCA (Australian Shepherd Club of America), and UKC (United Kennel Club). Both have titles in rally obedience, obedience, barn hunt, and trick. My services could include: walks, baths (depending on breed), and basic obedience and trick training. I’m a SAHM with a two year old boy who is dog savvy and would come with me on visits and walks. He either walks on his own or is in a stroller. I have a fenced in yard and all of my dogs are crate trained (Snap doesn’t crate anymore though). I can help with crate training.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.

“This was our first experience boarding our pups and Angel exceeding all expectations. We made last minute plans to leave town right before the holidays, giving her 1 days notice. She was super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. I loved that they had their own indoor kennel area outside the house, so they can be pups and not intrude on someone else’s space—as we know how inquisitive our little friends can be. They had a comfortable area to rest & also a fenced in yard to run & play. We will continue to trust Angel in the future for all of our boarding needs!”
“This was Bubba's first stay with someone other than family. Daisy made this whole experience great. Bubba seemed happy and really enjoyed hanging out with Bryna. I was put at ease with pictures and videos sent. Will be using Daisy and family for all our sitter needs in the future. Thanks again Daisy!”
“Ashlee greeted our dog first at a “meet and greet” at a local park and our pup was calm and comfortable. During our trip, Ashlee updated us on how her first 24 hours went and how she enjoyed playing with the other dogs. On our way back, approaching the Dayton area, she was kind enough to give Pippa a bath. Ashley’s provided kind, observant care to our young dog while we saw family out of state and we couldn’t be more pleased.”
“Katherine did wonderful with Benny! She kept me updated with pictures and videos of him and got back to me quickly with any questions I had. I’ll definitely be using her in the future!”
“Joanne was wonderful! She sent frequent updates and our dog was well taken care of. It was such a relief to see our dog relaxed and playing with her dogs while we were away!”
“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!!”
“Karen was so professional and a wonderful, caring sitter for my lab, Seamus! She kept me up to date with pictures and text messages the entire time. Her patience and kindness was very appreciated!”
“Nathan had a blast! Because normally he gets scared going with strangers but the second day he didn’t even bother to look back. They are amazing with Nathan and great with communicating about him as well.”
“Jennifer treats your dog as if they're part of her own family. Her genuine love for animals truly shine through. We were beyond impressed with her care and attention! We'll absolutely be back!”
“Nate and Whitney came to our rescue for a last minute visit with relatives. They sent lots of pictures and kept us informed of how Biggs was doing. We could enjoy our visit knowing he was in great hands! Thank you so much!”
“This was the first time we used Rover to find care for our Gus for a night, and Rachel was amazing. She sends regular updates in pictures and videos so we always knew he was safe and taken care of. We would definitely book with Rachel again in the future!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”
About: I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog while you’re away. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos. I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and others and am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so their stay feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I work full time, but when I’m not at work I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. My daughter and I love spending time outside, going on walks, and playing in our large yard, so your dog can enjoy plenty of activity and playtime with us. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and get outside. I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine, and my daughter and I will give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.
“Paige was an excellent caretaker, communicator, and she was even very flexible when we needed to add a day! Our pup had playmates and she came up with ideas to keep him happy and fulfilled while we were gone. Even gave me an idea or two! We appreciate how well she cared for our pup, and we would book again!”
