“Just want to share our wonderful experience with Joel & Crystal. We are new to Rover and we were terrified to have to leave our 2 year old boxer puppy. Crystal stayed in contact with me throughout Dallas stay which was about 1 week. She sent updates and even pics and videos too! Our minds were at ease knowing Dallas was well taken care of. I would highly recommend this family for any boarding needs. They are super sweet and truly care for pets!”

“Great experience. Got plenty of updates with photos which was very much appreciated. Dogs seem to have plenty of space to play and gets lots of love and attention.”
“We had Ying watch our kitty cat, Mr. Ribs, for a week while we were away. He was a fantastic cat sitter. He sent tons of pictures and videos and kept us updated with his sleeping and eating habits. Ying played with Mr. Ribs and kept him entertained. This was comforting for us as the little guy loves people, so leaving him alone or isolated was not an option. Ying was a great companion for the kitty, and we will definitely use him in the future.”
“Keith and his lovely family took great care of our fur baby! We are grateful to have found such a loving and caring family who took our pet into their home. We knew our pet was in good hands and were able to travel stress free. Bets of all we got daily pictures and messages about our pup.”
“Sabrina was amazing! She sent tons of cute pictures. I have never seen Chance worn out before…he’s my energizer bunny! He slept so good the night we picked him up and he obviously had a great time playing with his new friends. I don’t think he even noticed that we were gone! I will definitely use Sabrina again!”
“Angie was exceptionally at taking care of my Gambit. She made sure to let me know that Gambit was been taking care of and having fun with her doggies by pictures and videos. She even accommodated us with more days due of my flight cancelation so I was very thankful and grateful with her. I would 100 percent recommend her.”
“We are so grateful to Amy & Rob for taking such wonderful care of our dog! We felt that they listened to our care instructions and concerns and felt confident throughout our pup's stay. Amy & Rob were attentive, kind, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay - and provided photos of our dog's meds being administered which we appreciated so much. Our dog came back happy and well-cared for, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”

“This was Cashew's his first time without me and he's two! He's a blond and white 11 pound Pomeranian So it was kind of a big deal especially for me to leave him with a new person for 2 nights and three days. Teresa set up a play date for him one day which he loved . I found Cashew happy and calm when I returned. Teresa is very calm, very attentive and loving. Also she reliable and trustworthy. Cashew stayed at her place but Ill be giving her a key to my home in the future. She supplied him with plenty of play and walks. She will be my first choice when I need a sitter. Julie V.”
“Highly recommend Corynne and Matthew! They watched our 2 dogs while we were out of the country for 11 days. They did great with both of them, which are completely different in their needs: one a very energetic 2 year old heeler mix and the other a 16 year old lab mix. They administered meds for our senior also. Our dogs had such a great time, they didn’t want to leave. Will be booking again - thanks!”
“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”

About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.

About: I’m experienced in caring for cats with a range of personalities and temperaments, from independent and reserved cats to those who enjoy frequent interaction and affection! My background in veterinary medicine has provided me with a strong understanding of feline behavior and body language, allowing me to recognize signs of stress, boundaries, and build trust at each cat's comfort level. Maintaining a clean and comfortable environment is a priority in my care. I am huge on litter box maintenance and understand the important role cleanliness plays in a cat's overall well-being. As a veterinary assistant, I have experience administering medications and caring for cats with ongoing medical needs. I am comfortable following medication schedules and providing care that ensures your cat's routine remains consistent while you are away. I also have experience with routine grooming, including brushing and nail trims, and am happy to incorporate these services when they are part of your cat's regular care routine. My goal is to provide patient, compassionate care so that your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Tyler did an awesome job caring for my cat. He sent a couple pictures and a little blurb summarizing the visit every time and he was always quick to respond to any messages I sent.

“This was our first booking with Rover and Sarah. She kept us updated on our kitties and sent tons of pics. Sarah is very personable and professional. If she wasn’t sure of something she didn’t hesitate to ask (we told her to reach out anytime with questions). Our getaway turned into a great trip knowing our animals were being taken care of. Sarah truly put my mind at ease and we are forever grateful.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, starting with the two German Shepards (Satori and Jazzy) my parents had when I was born all the way up to my two cats (Lady and Tigerlily) and dog (Clyde) who bring me joy and purpose every day. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens and goats, learning to care, appreciate and work with animals from a young age. I’ve been professionally pet and house sitting for 4 years now and have loved every second of it.

We have already booked another day with him. Thank you, Ying!”

We trust them 100% and would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their dog the way they would themselves. Thank you, Jennifer and Josh — you’re amazing!”

About: I have experience with all sorts of animals. I have worked with dogs and cats and most other household pets including snakes and birds. I have also worked with horses and most livestock farm animals. I make a daily roster of animals to care for and schedule my time accordingly. I care for my animals first always and help my community with animal care needs. I have a large fenced yard with room to run. I have 2 female dogs that are well trained and managed. The smaller mutt is elderly (11) and has a room of her own where she will put herself as needed. My big girl Sally, the Bernese is friendly to all animals large or small and really the very best calm neutral dog I have ever known.
“Alisa is so kind! And I really appreciate how quickly she responds :) She took both my dogs on a thirty minute walk and the dogs loved her. I will definitely be having her walk my dogs again in the future.”
About: Hello! My name is Daniel, and I am an experienced walker and pet sitter in both at-home and daycare environments. I have one dog of my own, Lily, who is a lab-mix rescue.

About: I recently moved back in to the area from California.

“We are SO happy we found Christina! Her service is amazing and meets my dog's physical, mental and social needs. We've been looking for someone who does off-leash adventures and are beyond excited about continuing to book with Christina. She is clearly knowledgable, responsable, and loves dogs. My dog comes home from her adventures happy, tired, and ready to relax for the rest of the day. Highly recommend you reach out to Christina!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs of all personalities, from easygoing labs to high energy, sometimes anxious heelers. That taught me early on how to read animal behavior, stay patient, and build trust with pets at their own pace! In college, I started out studying pre vet before following my passion into wildlife biology, and I’ll be starting grad school this fall studying ecology and evolution with a focus on wildlife. I also spent a summer working with a nonprofit dog rescue in Houston, Texas, helping save dogs from the streets and from kill shelters. It was hands on and sometimes challenging, but really rewarding. I helped with medications, cared for dogs with all kinds of temperaments, and made sure each one felt safe and cared for. I truly believe every animal is special and deserves patience, understanding, and a little extra love. I’ve always found it easy to connect with animals, and I love seeing even shy or anxious pets start to relax and show their personality. Right now I’m saving up for grad school, and honestly I can’t think of a better way to spend my time than being around animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like my own! I currently have Wednesday's and Thursday's off. I am free all day to take your pups on a mid day walk or keep them company while you are out of town! The rest of my week I work from 9:00-6:00 so my availability is more limited. I live on acreage in the Veneta area. Our property is mostly fenced and includes an orchard, a creek, and plenty of space for play and adventure! I have one pup of my own who absolutely loves other dogs. He’s a medium-sized herding dog who would be thrilled to show a new friend around the property. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always strive to be a respectful and gracious guest. I’m a very tidy, thoughtful person and take great care to leave your home exactly as you left it, if not better! I believe it’s incredibly valuable for animals to remain in an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I have a lot of experience with anxious animals and believe that a calm, warm demeanor, along with a consistent routine, is key to making sure your pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.
About: I would be an ideal candidate for dog sitting and walking because I have years of hands-on experience caring for family dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, which helps me build trust with both pets and their owners. As a stay-at-home mom with one son, I have a flexible daily routine and open availability throughout the week. My days include staying active, going on walks, and spending time outdoors, which gives me plenty of time and energy to care for dogs. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and a safe, loving environment for pets while their owners are busy or away. “I can provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for dogs in my home. I’m a stay-at-home mom with one son and two friendly dogs, so visiting pets would receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and I can provide a crate if needed to help dogs feel secure and comfortable during their stay.

“Just want to share our wonderful experience with Joel & Crystal. We are new to Rover and we were terrified to have to leave our 2 year old boxer puppy.

“Dylan and his fam were great! Oakley came home happy and relaxed. We felt she was well cared for and we received frequent pics and updates on doggy activities.”
“Great experience. Got plenty of updates with photos which was very much appreciated. Dogs seem to have plenty of space to play and gets lots of love and attention.”
“We had Ying watch our kitty cat, Mr. Ribs, for a week while we were away. He was a fantastic cat sitter. He sent tons of pictures and videos and kept us updated with his sleeping and eating habits. Ying played with Mr. Ribs and kept him entertained. This was comforting for us as the little guy loves people, so leaving him alone or isolated was not an option. Ying was a great companion for the kitty, and we will definitely use him in the future.”
“Keith and his lovely family took great care of our fur baby! We are grateful to have found such a loving and caring family who took our pet into their home. We knew our pet was in good hands and were able to travel stress free. Bets of all we got daily pictures and messages about our pup.”
“Sabrina was amazing! She sent tons of cute pictures. I have never seen Chance worn out before…he’s my energizer bunny! He slept so good the night we picked him up and he obviously had a great time playing with his new friends. I don’t think he even noticed that we were gone! I will definitely use Sabrina again!”
“Angie was exceptionally at taking care of my Gambit. She made sure to let me know that Gambit was been taking care of and having fun with her doggies by pictures and videos. She even accommodated us with more days due of my flight cancelation so I was very thankful and grateful with her. I would 100 percent recommend her.”
“Another great day for Ruger spent with Tessa, Tyler and their family. He loves all the time he gets to spend outside in their beautiful fenced yard. They take such good care of my little guy!”
“Wonderful experience with Alexis. Excellent communication. She took awesome care of Cooper. I was gone for a week. She sent pictures and updates. He was very happy and I never worried about him. Her love of pets is genuine.”
“This was Cashew's his first time without me and he's two! He's a blond and white 11 pound Pomeranian So it was kind of a big deal especially for me to leave him with a new person for 2 nights and three days. Teresa set up a play date for him one day which he loved . I found Cashew happy and calm when I returned. Teresa is very calm, very attentive and loving. Also she reliable and trustworthy. Cashew stayed at her place but Ill be giving her a key to my home in the future. She supplied him with plenty of play and walks. She will be my first choice when I need a sitter. Julie V.”
“Highly recommend Corynne and Matthew! They watched our 2 dogs while we were out of the country for 11 days. They did great with both of them, which are completely different in their needs: one a very energetic 2 year old heeler mix and the other a 16 year old lab mix. They administered meds for our senior also. Our dogs had such a great time, they didn’t want to leave. Will be booking again - thanks!”
“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”
About: Hi, I’m Destiny I’ve spent the last several years caring for the dogs and cats of family and friends, and now I’m excited to bring that same dedicated, loving care to your furry family members. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk around the neighborhood, a cozy overnight stay, or a quick drop-in visit to break up their day, I’ve got you covered.Growing up around pets taught me how important structure, patience, and plenty of belly rubs are to a dog's happiness. I specialize in making dogs feel comfortable and safe when their owners are away, providing frequent updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind. I treat every dog I sit for with the same love and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite helper! I am also an experienced dog bather I can provide nail trims, shave paw pads, shave sanitary areas, express anal glands and give your pup a deep clean bath. I have an experience with photography and would to provide high quality photos of your fur babies you can book additional sessions with me privately. My dogs regularly takes medication if you’re pups do too I can definitely make sure they get what they need. I currently enrolling to LCC to further my education for veterinary medicine. I don’t have job but have been applying for positions and can work part time. I prioritize my health so I regularly workout and attend fighting classes. I love to take my dogs on long walks and on runs If you would like to bring your pup to me it would be no problem, I have a fenced backyard and live with my boyfriend, his aunt and his dad. My boyfriend Bill works from home so your pup will never be alone. My husky Maxx loves to play with other dogs we regularly go to the dog park for playtime. I can’t host cats and I prefer your fur baby to be neutered or spade. Maxx currently isn’t neutered but will be soon. There are multiple places your dogs can sleep and stay cozy.
“I have already booked my pup's next stay with Joshua. He is a dog person through and through, a good soul, and loves providing his canine B&B as his business. My Rusty is one year old and had little socializing with other dogs, but Josua "auditioned" him with the family dogs in advance, which ensured a great fit. Rusty came home after a week of hanging with the pack, and he's calmer and more confident when we go out for drives or walks. Joshua is a good communicator and will relieve your anxiety over finding a suitable sitter.”
“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, and her house is perfect for pet sitting, replete with a grassy backyard and dog door. Comfy, clean, welcoming environment. You can tell she really cares for the pets in her charge. Future repeat customer!”
“Bivvy looked so happy playing with sweet Sophie the host dog. She came home from her day/overnight with Valerie and Sophie very happy and with the sweetest vibe. Thank you so much, Valerie. You’re the best!”
