About: I grew up with a love of animals. We had 7 dogs, 4 cats and many small caged animals as well. Starting at about 10 years old I was responsible for feeding and cleaning up after our pets. My kids have been around animals their whole lives as well and have a special love for dogs. We have a medium sized labradoodle named Honey. She is spayed and loves playing with other dogs. I dog sit for my friends and family pups. Now I'd like to help more people have a place they feel safe and comfortable leaving their pets. I am home all day aside from dropping off and picking up my kids from school. So I have plenty of time to tend to your fur-babies! I have a fenced yard and a playful gentle dog to keep yours entertained. I always keep mine on a leash when going on walks and will do the same for yours. I can accommodate any special requests and routines you may have. I understand that your dog is a part of your family. So I will do everything I can for you to feel comfortable leaving them in our care.
“Gloria was AMAZING! My pup can take a little bit of time to warm up to people, but right away she loved Gloria’s energy and so did I. Gloria is knowledgeable and confident in her care for animals and does a wonderful job at providing a welcoming and calm space. I’m already planning more trips and feel so relieved knowing I have someone who will take such good care of my pup while I’m away.”

“Our first time having Jo Lynn and David sit for Griffin and couldn't be happier! From the start, they were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. You could tell right away how much they genuinely care about the dogs they look after — kind, caring, and thoughtful in every interaction. They sent us photos almost every day, which we loved getting to see. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our dog was in such good hands. We'll definitely be booking Jo Lynn again and highly recommend them!”

“Aundrea and her family are experienced, patient and helpful. I was out of town for 9 days and she watched my 3 year old dog. This was the longest I’d left him with someone else. I was worried and uncertain about how he’d behave. She was warm; welcoming; provided updates and photos; and was supportive when my dog got anxious.”

She also left our home neat and tidy, and even watered our plants while we were gone. We look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Thank you so much for dropping in to check on our two kitties. We really really appreciate that you were able to visit around Mollee's bedtime and to see her in the photos all relaxed in her usual places.

About: As an animal lover, I'd consider myself very experienced with animals of all kinds. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. Before losing him in the fall of 2023, I raised and cared for my dog, Chaps, for 12 years. It was a great 12 years, and I loved spending time training him. "Sit" and "down" are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the tricks Chaps could do. I am very comfortable with pets of all sizes. I am also comfortable taking care of most any special needs your pet may have. Tell me what you and your pet like, and I will do my best to provide an experience just the way you, and they, like it! Your pet will be safe and comfortable with me! I'm pretty flexible in how I organize my time. Walks, feedings, etc. can all be arranged with me to satisfy your expectations.

Following your instructions and having the ability to communicate will provide a sense of security for you and helps me to give the best experience for your pet if I have questions about your pet’s care while you’re away. I’m a big fan of communicating!

“I wanted to write another review because Melani continues to go above and beyond in every possible way. After many more stays, I can honestly say she is one of those rare people you feel incredibly lucky to find. My dog does not just enjoy being with her, he genuinely lights up when he sees her, which says everything. Melani is not only dependable and communicative, but she is also so thoughtful and intuitive when it comes to my dog’s needs. She pays attention to the little things, keeps me consistently updated, and always makes sure he feels loved, safe, and comfortable. It gives me total peace of mind knowing he is in such capable and caring hands. She has become such an important part of our routine, and I truly cannot imagine trusting anyone else the way I trust her. If you are considering Melani, do not hesitate, she is everything you could hope for and more. The full package!”

“Brittany and Blase were such a godsend. I was moving to a new apartment, and needed a place for my anxious boy to hang out for the day. He takes a while to warm up to people, but Brittany and Blase were so patient and kind with him! By the time I picked him up, he didn’t seem to want to leave. They were attentive and great with communication and all in all took so much stress off my plate! Couldn’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful! She cares for our dog as her own. After each walk, she gives a detailed report complete with pictures of her visit. Highly recommend!”
“Extremely happy to have met Andre and McKenzie. Andre showed up on time and took Miley out for her morning walk. Miley was a little nervous at first, but what girl isn’t on a first date. She quickly settled in and off they went for a grand adventure. Their afternoon walk also went smoothly as Miley wasn’t so nervous and was ready to go with just a slight hesitation. I suspect Miley, Andre and McKenzie will be off on more adventures in the future. As for me, I very cautious with who cares for Miley, I couldn’t be happier with my choice.

About: Local to Columbia County, I am a lifelong pet lover! I have never been without pets in my life, and have taken care of pets for friends and family many times in the past. I am a cat and dog momma, and have also had chickens, turkeys, ducks, and goats in the past. I am no stranger to the hobby farm life, if you are rural and looking for someone to drop in on the critters.

About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.

“Lorri did a wonderful job with Dunkin’s stay. Very reliable, responsive, and great with pets. Dunkin came home happy. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Irene was great, and my pup was wiped out when he got home, so I definitely feel like he got plenty of energy out! Tons of space, tons of toys, and human and dog interaction. We’ll definitely bring Miles back to Irene!”
“Chelsea did great watching my stressed dog a 2nd time. When I dropped him off he ran up to her door and gave her a big kiss. He was more comfortable this time and she handled his stress wonderfully. I would highly recommend her services”
“Ron provides the highest quality dog care possible! Our pup got an exquisite stay with Ron and Emma including playtime with other dogs, a trip to the dog park, a warm place to sleep and lots of treats. After Ron's five star service, we will never use a kennel again. We highly recommend Ron's Rover Service for all dogs and their owner's.”
“My little doggie couldn't have been in better hands than with Katie. My pup is a very nervous, frighten little thing with strangers but Katie, Mat, and Finn brought her out of her shell. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Steve made sure our senior special needs dog was as comfortable as can be. His home is well equipped for dogs to enjoy their favorite indoor and outdoor pastimes and I really appreciated his frequent communication, cute photos, and obvious affection for my sweet pup.”
“Robert was great with my dogs. They had a nice place to sleep and play. I think they thought they were on vacation. He was very thoughtful about making the dogs feel at home. Will definitely bring them back again!”
“Oscar had a great time with Kimberly and her kids. He was well taken care of and Kimberly shared photos of Oscar and her dog Coco having a good time together. Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again in the future. Thank you, Kimberly!”
“Brittany did a wonderful job caring for our sweet, anxious dog! She was attentive, flexible and showed great insight into what our Sadie girl needed to feel more comfortable during her first boarding experience. Brittany also shared photos and videos of our dog during her stay, which really helped my husband and I feel reassured she was having a great time and being well cared for. Looking forward to having our dog stay with her again in the future!”
About: I've been caring for friends' dogs for the past eight years, ever since I became a dog mom myself. Because I work from home, I'm able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. I'm the kind of dog mom who throws my pup a birthday party every year, complete with treats, decorations, and lots of love. Dogs are truly part of the family in my house. Hi! My name is Kendra, and I'm a marketing professional who works remotely from home full-time. I have an 8-year-old Goldendoodle named Henry, who has spent many happy days with Rover sitters over the years. Now that I'm working from home, I'm excited to provide the same level of care and attention to other dogs that I always wanted for my own. My home is located in a quiet neighborhood and features a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and secure space for dogs to explore and play. I believe in regular updates and clear communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Thank you so much for watching Kava!! Gage was very kind and available even for a last minute booking. He updated us with photos during our dogs stay. We will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“Lea was awesome! Our little Ruby is very high energy and Lea did an amazing job making her feel at home! I got pictures and updates throughout the stay! We will for sure be contacting Lea again!”
“Daniel was a knight in shining armor for our family. Our original sitter had a family emergency and we had a flight to catch. Daniel was accommodating and made my pup feel at home with lots of walks and belly rubs. Daniel and his family will definitely be our go to for pet sitting!”
About: I grew up with a love of animals. We had 7 dogs, 4 cats and many small caged animals as well. Starting at about 10 years old I was responsible for feeding and cleaning up after our pets. My kids have been around animals their whole lives as well and have a special love for dogs. We have a medium sized labradoodle named Honey. She is spayed and loves playing with other dogs. I dog sit for my friends and family pups. Now I'd like to help more people have a place they feel safe and comfortable leaving their pets. I am home all day aside from dropping off and picking up my kids from school. So I have plenty of time to tend to your fur-babies! I have a fenced yard and a playful gentle dog to keep yours entertained. I always keep mine on a leash when going on walks and will do the same for yours. I can accommodate any special requests and routines you may have. I understand that your dog is a part of your family. So I will do everything I can for you to feel comfortable leaving them in our care.
“Gloria was AMAZING! My pup can take a little bit of time to warm up to people, but right away she loved Gloria’s energy and so did I. Gloria is knowledgeable and confident in her care for animals and does a wonderful job at providing a welcoming and calm space. I’m already planning more trips and feel so relieved knowing I have someone who will take such good care of my pup while I’m away.”
“Allison was really easy to work with. Her and her family took good care of my dog and responded timely with updates when I checked in. I would gladly work with her again in the future.”
“We are so grateful for Chaun for taking such great care of our Gus over Christmas! We got regular updates that were thoughtful and fun, and he seemed to have a blast with her own pups (and kitty). He came home tired and happy- thank you again for your care, Chaun!”
