“We can't say enough good thinks about Melissa but I'll try. Our Angie we adopted only a few months ago and we were very nervous about going on a vacation we had planned. Melissa treated our baby like a princess, daily videos and messages gave us so much piece of mind knowing she was loved and cared for. We will definitely use her again and recommend this site to anyone we know. Sincerely, Rhonda, Bruce and Angie Bella”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”
“Thank you Deanna and Maui for letting Remy hang out with you guys!! It’s so nice to not have to worry about how Remy is doing when we’re out of town! Deanna takes such good care of Remy and he has a blast playing with her dog too!”
“I appreciate Doug’s willingness to do everything possible to make the separation experience easier for Dexter. He was very attentive and kept me informed about his stay. I would highly recommend him for your next trip.”
“Gail was wonderful. Great communication and updates on our dog throughout the week. Loved seeing photos of him playing and settling into his new environment. Rusty's new "home" away from home. :) So nice to get away from the traditional kennel setting.”
“Aaliyah was fantastic with Oliver! She was reliable, caring, and even took the time to administer his insulin properly each time that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Oliver was happy, healthy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend Aaliyah to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter, especially for pets with medical needs or in general!”
“Cassie and family were great with Buckeye. He seemed like he was on vacation while we were on ours. The pictures and chats were very helpful in keeping us informed. We will definitely use Cassie again for Buckeye if she will have him. 😊”
“This was our Winnie’s 2nd time staying with Rikki and her lovely family. Winnie is a very pampered pup, Rikki goes above and beyond to make Winnie comfortable, even letting her sleep with them 🥰. Thank you, Rikki!”
“Athena was amazing with my pup while I was out of the country. Even though I didn’t have service she sent lots of pictures and videos so that when I could log on I got to see how well he was doing. She was very mindful and knowledgable about dogs that might have “issues” with anxiety, high energy levels, or anything else that may require special care. I am so happy I found her to watch him because I had peace of mind that he was in great hands while I was unreachable.”
“Aricka and her husband were absolutely lovely! They took such incredible care of my dog and kept me informed on how she was doing. Highly recommend them and I know Bella will be excited to go back! ❤️”
About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“Fern will definitely be going back to Vicki’s again. I never had any doubt about my dog being cared for and loved while staying with Vicki and her family. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting.”
“Thank you Kristin. You were awesome and did a great job with my pup. Sent me pics and kept me updated. I would recommend you to anyone needing someone to care for their fur baby🐕💙”
“George was the best. He took care of my toy poodle with such care. Tallow, my toy poodle, had never been with anyone else. He grew accustomed to George very quickly.. George showed a lot of care for him. I highly recommend him.”
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”
“This was Penny's third stay with Nathan & Jennna, and our experience again was great, they are thoughtful and attentive, and their communication is outstanding. I know Penny is in good hands and a loving home when she's with them, and recommend them highly, thank you”
“Kelsey was very accommodating with travel issues that resulted in booking an extra night. She shared welcomed daily updates with photos of Oliver’s stay. I will gladly book with Kelsey again.”

“Isis was great with our old and big girl! Our dog has a hard time with our couple of steps and Isis came over to help take her out and in while we were away. She was kind and patient and did what we needed. We are very happy we booked her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I would definitely recommend Cassie anytime! Teddy really took to her and he is a difficult one to take to people! She was very attentive to him and he had a great time with her!”
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — and not just the easy ones. I've owned multiple Maine Coons, which anyone who's had one knows is practically caring for a small dog. Between their size, personality, and need for real interaction, Maine Coons taught me that cats aren't just low-maintenance pets — they have needs, moods, and personalities that deserve genuine attention. I currently have three cats of my own, so your pet is coming home to someone who already lives the cat life daily. From the social butterflies to the ones who need time to warm up, I know how to read a cat's energy and give them exactly what they need — whether that's playtime, affection, or simply respecting their space. On top of cats, I've owned dogs, rats, guinea pigs, and more over the years — so no matter what your cat's personality throws at me, I've seen it. Your cat will be in calm, experienced, and caring hands.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats over the last 10 years. I have also always had dogs of my own; currently have 3 beautiful girls. I love all pets, small to big and young to old. Athletic enough for young ones’ energy and gentle enough for seniors’ care. I have a background in pet health care and have also worked at a kennel in the past. Taking care of your animals wouldn’t even be a service to me; my love for them makes it easy. I work full time, but depending on location would be able to do walks or drop-in visits on my lunch breaks. As well as before or after work, if needed. I am available for house sitting pretty much any day of the week with at least 1-day notice. I have adequate knowledge on when a dog may be feeling stressed or threatened and know how to handle the situation accordingly. I can crate your dogs, if required. I do my absolute best to avoid distractions while on walks.
“We were a first time Rover user and Kristin was outstanding. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our cat during the scheduled drop-in times. Highly recommended!”
“Aaliyah was fantastic with Oliver! She was reliable, caring, and even took the time to administer his insulin properly each time that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Oliver was happy, healthy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend Aaliyah to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter, especially for pets with medical needs or in general!”
About: I have fostered cats and dogs since 2016 and have always had dogs growing up. I am in training to become a licensed veterinary technician. I have worked in veterinary practices since 2018. I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, and farm animals. I am currently a full time student as well as working in a veterinary clinic. I have availability throughout most days as well as afternoons and weekends. My pets are my first priority in my own home and your pets will be my first priority in your home as well. As a veterinary professional, the safety of pets is very important to me.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have been actively caring for them since I was very young. I’m experienced with daily care routines, feeding, litter box maintenance, and giving cats the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable and safe. I treat every cat like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being.
“Sarah has been taking wonderful care of our rescue! Our guy has been working through separation anxiety and, thanks to Sarah’s drop-ins, he’s gaining confidence. ❤️ She has been so patient with him! Highly recommend”
About: I grew up with cats. The last five years of my life I have delivered two litters of kittens. My cat Twix follows me everywhere and I can call on her anytime and she runs to me. Cats have been very healing for me in my life and I want to do everything to give back the blessings they give me. 🤍💚
“I was very skeptical to hire outside of family and friends but am so happy I found Shane! Shane scheduled a meet and greet with me at my home to become familiar with my cats and their needs. A week leading up to my trip, he confirmed we were still scheduled to need his assistance, and provided daily updates/pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Shane enough and happy I've found a trusted pet sitter in my absence. Thank you, Shane!”
“I contacted Jess (thru Rover.com) again because she was great w/my 2 cats the last time and I'm so glad I did. It was wonderful to come back and see that neither of them were traumatized at all! She contacted me every day and provided me with pictures. Jess went above & beyond and took great care of them! I left her a good tip and she deserves every penny AND MORE!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Zoar
“Our pup Maggie was in great hands with Kirsten J. We have never left her alone or have had her boarded with anyone until now. Communication was terrific and Maggie came home happy and exhausted from playing all day long 🙂 we will definitely have Kirsten watch her again in the future.”
About: We have experienced owning a 10 year old bullmastiff, two huskies, and a dog that we rescued from the river while we were kayaking. We consider every dog our child. I work from home for the last 6 years so the dogs have all day to play inside or outside. There is always someone at home with the dogs at all time. I have a fenced in yard and 3 very friendly dogs to keep your dog(s) company. I can also crate your dog(s) if needed. There is also a very nice dog path near my house if you want me to walk them.
“Contacted Leah the morning we needed care for my puppy while we rode the Polar Express. She responded quickly and was able to care for him even with the very short notice. My boy had never stayed with anyone but us but he did wonderful with her! Leah sent pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip with the peace of mind that our little guy was loved and cared for❤️”

About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for and loving dogs. I have provided basic training techniques, agility training, walking, boarding, drop in visits and overall companionship. I make sure that I feed the dog according to their schedule, and ensuring its safety and well-being including administering medications. I am able to accommodate dogs of all types and sizes and I communicate with owners by providing updates on the dog's progress.

About: I have done drop in and overnight care for family member's pets for many years. I am a life long animal lover and have cats and/or dogs my whole life. I also did some volunteer care at an animal shelter while in college. I am a stay at home mom of three (9, 7, and 5 year olds) kids who also love animals so I have the availability to provide a lot of time and attention. I have a fenced in yard in a beautiful country setting and two playmates for your pup. Robin is 13 year old chocolate lab mix, who we rescued from the roadside. She gave birth to 8 puppies about 2 months later and we were able to find loving homes for them all. We also have Emmett, who is a shepherd/spaniel mix that we adopted as a puppy during covid. He can be shy around new people, but loves to play with any dog he has met.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.

“Echo had such a great stay—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear she was in good hands. What really stood out was how flexible he was with scheduling, especially when we had an unexpected delay getting back. Instead of adding stress to an already hectic situation, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating, which meant a lot. Echo came home happy, relaxed, tired (which is not an easy accomplishment) and clearly well cared for (honestly, I think she might’ve been a little disappointed to leave her new babysitter 😄). It’s such a relief knowing there’s someone trustworthy and kind to rely on.”
About: Hi! I’m Corey — a pet-loving guy who truly understands how deeply animals become family. I’ve spent the last 15 years caring for dogs, including two beloved seniors who recently passed in 2021 and 2025. Betty, an English Bulldog who was “thicker than a bowl of oatmeal,” and Sadie, my blue-tick coonhound/beagle mix who was a true treat connoisseur with a heart of gold. Losing them has been incredibly hard… but also a powerful reminder of just how special the bond with a pet really is. Caring for other people’s pets has become a form of healing and therapy for me. I miss the snoring, the wagging tails, the playtime, and the pure happiness a dog brings into a home. Being around animals fills me with joy, and I pour that love right back into the pups I watch. I have hands-on experience with: • Senior dog care (medications, patience, mobility support, and gentle comfort) • High-energy dogs who need walks and structured play • Bulldogs, hounds, and every personality in between • Smaller breeds like Chihuahuas and Dachshunds Your dog isn’t just a “dog” to me — they’re family, someone’s whole heart. And while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same gentleness, humor, consistency, and affection that I gave to Betty and Sadie. I work from home and can provide exceptional care! Your dog is my main concern during the day and evening and will be spoiled and loved! I will treat your pet as my own and follow all instructions provided to me about your dog(s) routine and schedule. I truly care and want to make your experience easy and stress free.
About: I have raised my dog from birth and now in his senior years. I enjoy petting and walking and the bonding . I work from home so they will had a good companion to be wit them while you're away. I am home daily and will enjoy your pet staying near by. We take outside breaks in the morning, afternoon and evening. I also find play time and lots of petting. I walk my dog on a leash and will do the same for yours. You can board your pet at my home or I can visit in yours.

“I was in the area for a family emergency, and Becca came in clutch to help out with my pups while I tended to family business. My boys warmed up to her quickly and easily. Becca, you have me peace of mind at a difficult time. I will definitely use you again if I am back in town.”
About: Animals have been a constant in my life, and over the years I've owned dogs, cats, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even hatched eggs via an incubator. That kind of variety builds real hands-on experience, a calm comfort around all breeds and temperaments, and a deep respect for the responsibility of caring for another living thing. What animals want most is attention, and that's something I have no shortage of. Your pet won't just be watched — they'll be engaged, cared for, and treated like family. Whether it's a walk, a feeding, or house sitting, you can count on me to show up and give your pet exactly what they need. My schedule is flexible and I can almost always make time — just reach out ahead of time. I'll follow any special instructions, respect off-limit rooms, and stick to whatever routine works best for your pet. My schedules pretty much open I could always make time if need be. As long as it's scheduled ahead of time my schedule is opened. I would care for their pets just as they would. Any special instructions of course I would follow. Any rooms that are off limits, limit the outside time etc
“Bri was exactly who we needed! She was so patient with one of my guys who needed some extra time to warm up and was equally attentive to my other guy. I am very grateful to her for providing such good care!”
About: I have had pets all my life. I’ve had experience with a lot of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC.

About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund, and we've had tons of cats. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I worked at does dog boarding/daycare/training. I was a kennel tech so I just took care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also took care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers were away. I worked there for over year and loved it, only leaving because I started college and moved away. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really loves my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. And I am a second year student at Muskingum University, I am majoring in Animal Studies in hopes of having an animal conservation related job. I'm a college student and normally drop in between classes and have the rest of the day to tend to pet's. During the summer I am usually employed and work around my schedule At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow
About: Animals bring joy to the world 💜 I always enjoy having new animals stay. Socialization is important for dogs and my family does a great job to insure everyone is comfortable and in good spirits. Dogs are gifts to people in my opinion. I give back by welcoming them in the home. 🤍 I work at a Veterinarian Clinic, my schedule can vary but I will always do my best to accommodate your animals needs. I can be flexible for boarding. I have a fenced in back yard. I am located right on the lake so I always take my dogs for walks, and golf cart runs by the lake. I have two dogs and two cats at home. They get along really well with all critters.
About: I am a veterinary technician with 14 years of experience living in Bolivar, OH . I'm looking to provide services through Rover to get out and explore the area while making some extra income so my furry family can keep living the high life- you know those chew toys aren't cheap ;) I would love to do dog walks so that I can get those daily steps in- a slimmer waistline is good for people AND pets! I also love the idea of "check ins" to help get those zoomies out while you're at work! I have 4pets of my own- 2 cats and two dogs, all rescues. You could say it's an occupational hazard! I can't wait to meet you! I especially love getting out for dog walks, it's the motivation I need to get my steps in every day! I work part time, and my schedule is flexible. I only care for pets in their own homes, because I like to keep your pets, and my pets, as close to their normal schedule as possible.
About: I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't surrounded with pets and animals. I grew up with three cats and a dog, had a few gerbals and hermit crabs, helped raise pythons, and get to enjoy dog kisses and and snuggles whenever I want from relative's pets. My grandparents live on a farm and love to help any of creatures us grandkids find. Animals are my passion! As a young entrepreneur trying to take my life and schedule into my own hands, Rover is the perfect way for pet owners to get thorough, compassionate care for their loved fur babies as well as help me attain more clients and doggo kisses for my already established pet sitting services. Looking forward to meeting and working with you!

I worked for six years at the Animal Hospital at the Crossroads in Carmel, CA, and for one year at the Casitas Hotel for Cats in Los Angeles, CA. Resume available upon request. I am available for overnights, drop-in visits, and walks. I'm available to care for your animal if I am not already booked. Last-minute requests are always considered. My schedule is pretty flexible! I have indoor cats, and I cannot take care of your pets in my home because I already have two cats. But I am happy to come to your home, or even do drop-in visits and walks.

I’m experienced with daily routines including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic training reinforcement. I understand different dog personalities and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and positive care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I currently only work 2 days of the week, saturday and sunday, the rest of the week i am free, i go to the gym during week days, minimum time away from home is 2/3 hours on week days. i have a fenced yard, and 2 cats that are good with dogs, and if not i always have extra room else ware around the house, i actively feed, and change little, take on walls daily.

About: I'm a very reliable, caring, and responsible dog lover! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for around 12 years (big and little dogs, high anxiety, nervous dogs, dogs with medical needs, dietary needs). I don’t own any animals currently and would take care of your pet like my own. I enjoy going on walks, going to dog parks, playing fetch, tug, playing with mind/strategy toys, and giving healthy treats to help train a certain trick or correct a behavior. I enjoy playing one on one with dogs, or several dogs at once. I look forward to working with you to accommodate any requests to make you and your pet/s comfortable. Dogs are part of a family and I hope you chose me to be part of their lives! I currently set my own work schedule, so I'm very flexible with what you and your pets needs are! I will follow your instructions so your pet is comfortable with their regular process of how they do things. I'm looking forward to working with you and hanging out with your lovely pets!! I am able to follow any instructions needed for your pets. I want them to be comfortable in their regular routine, especially with a new person taking care of them! Their comfort and the owners comfort are very important to me.
About: Experienced animal lover here. I am a full-time, in-home caregiver for the elderly in our community and I am looking for some additional part-time work to save up for a vacation I have planned in September. I am ready for the fun, and not so fun chores :) I am available during the week after 12pm. Weekend availability varies. I have some availability after 3pm on certain weekends and not available at all for others. I am able to care for your pet(s) at the clients home, but cannot offer care in my home. Following the clients’ plan and/or instructions is my priority.

“We can't say enough good thinks about Melissa but I'll try. Our Angie we adopted only a few months ago and we were very nervous about going on a vacation we had planned. Melissa treated our baby like a princess, daily videos and messages gave us so much piece of mind knowing she was loved and cared for. We will definitely use her again and recommend this site to anyone we know. Sincerely, Rhonda, Bruce and Angie Bella”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”
“Gail was wonderful. Great communication and updates on our dog throughout the week. Loved seeing photos of him playing and settling into his new environment. Rusty's new "home" away from home. :) So nice to get away from the traditional kennel setting.”
“Aaliyah was fantastic with Oliver! She was reliable, caring, and even took the time to administer his insulin properly each time that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Oliver was happy, healthy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend Aaliyah to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter, especially for pets with medical needs or in general!”
“Cassie and family were great with Buckeye. He seemed like he was on vacation while we were on ours. The pictures and chats were very helpful in keeping us informed. We will definitely use Cassie again for Buckeye if she will have him. 😊”
“This was our Winnie’s 2nd time staying with Rikki and her lovely family. Winnie is a very pampered pup, Rikki goes above and beyond to make Winnie comfortable, even letting her sleep with them 🥰. Thank you, Rikki!”
“Athena was amazing with my pup while I was out of the country. Even though I didn’t have service she sent lots of pictures and videos so that when I could log on I got to see how well he was doing. She was very mindful and knowledgable about dogs that might have “issues” with anxiety, high energy levels, or anything else that may require special care. I am so happy I found her to watch him because I had peace of mind that he was in great hands while I was unreachable.”
“Aricka and her husband were absolutely lovely! They took such incredible care of my dog and kept me informed on how she was doing. Highly recommend them and I know Bella will be excited to go back! ❤️”
About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“Fern will definitely be going back to Vicki’s again. I never had any doubt about my dog being cared for and loved while staying with Vicki and her family. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting.”
“George was the best. He took care of my toy poodle with such care. Tallow, my toy poodle, had never been with anyone else. He grew accustomed to George very quickly.. George showed a lot of care for him. I highly recommend him.”
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”
“This was Penny's third stay with Nathan & Jennna, and our experience again was great, they are thoughtful and attentive, and their communication is outstanding. I know Penny is in good hands and a loving home when she's with them, and recommend them highly, thank you”
“Kelsey was very accommodating with travel issues that resulted in booking an extra night. She shared welcomed daily updates with photos of Oliver’s stay. I will gladly book with Kelsey again.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life! I’ve had my own pet sitting business I’m very passionate about pet care. Your pet will be safe here! Between me and my husband we’re almost always home. We do have classes for a few hours during the week. We have pets of our own so we already have a very well set schedule when it comes to them. We can gladly work with any schedule you may already have. I will care for your fur babies like they are my own. I love my pets like my kids they’ll be well cared for here!
“Tricia was excellent with our 2 year old Weimaraner Tucker. He has never never been boarded or stayed away from home and tends to be timid or anxious. She sent pictures to let me know he was doing well throughout his entire stay. I will definitely utilize Tricia again, she made me feel very comfortable that our guy was in great hands while we were away.”
“It was Dasol's first time with Alicia, so we were worried whether she would be okay at an unfamiliar environment. But Alicia made every effort to make Dasol feel more at home, contacting us on a frequent basis. It was comforting to know that Dasol was in good hands. Thank you, Alicia!”
“Leah is great!! She took such good care of my old boy and also my house! She is great with communication, always quick to respond. I highly recommend Leah. She will treat your beloved pets as her own!”
