“This was our first time being away from our pup for an extended period of time and Joni put us at ease with updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Charlie was receiving quality care and attention.”
“Jessica and Theodore took amazing care of our dogs while we were away, and our dogs had a great time! We loved getting daily picture updates of them while we were gone. They had lots outside play time. They came home brushed and tired. We will definitely reach out to them in the future for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you!”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Lisa is the best! So incredibly professional and experienced. Cricket had the best time and was so loved and taken care of. I’ve already become a repeat customer! Thank you for everything!”
“Maria is wonderful! Shadow loves her. We feel confident that Shadow is well cared for when she overnights at Maria’s. I also appreciate her sending me photos of Shadow during her stay. I highly recommend Maria! 😊”
“This is truly a VACATION for dogs! They get to enjoy a beautiful farm, go on walks/runs daily in nature. This is a superior experience in comparison to a kennel or leaving a dog elsewhere. They get go much attention and love. The barn the dogs sleep in is really cool. It looks like it was stables for horses. Each dog gets their on stable. You can bring your dog’s bedding & toys and they are happy in their stall. Christina & Daniel have it down to a science how to run the place so each dog gets lots of attention & outdoor play. I find this place to be incredibly inexpensive considering all they get. Way cheaper than most of the people on Rover wanting to watch your dog at their own house. BOOK here always.”
“Hailey was very good with our husky pup. She kept our puppy at her house for 6-days while we were on vacation. She communicated very well and sent pictures throughout our pups stay. It was nice to have a safe place for our pup to stay while we were on vacation. We will definitely being using Hailey again in the future!”
“We can't speak highly enough of our dogs' experience with Michelle and Luke's family. We booked our two dachshunds with their family for a week vacation. Our dogs had very little experience around young children and we had concerns this may be a challenge. We initially met with Michelle online and she was kind enough to explain her home and property layout, discuss any questions we had. During drop off, we met with Michelle and spent some time getting to know her and the property, which are both well suited to ensuring her doggie guests are comfortable and well taken care of. Our dogs were obviously excited and carrying on during drop off, barking at anything that moved. Michelle assured us everything would be ok and explained how her and the family would work with our dogs over the next several days. During vacation, we had great daily interaction and Michelle provided photos and feedback of how our dogs were progressing and interacting with the children. This daily interaction made a huge impact on how our vacation went, none of the typical worry about the dogs being ok. By the time we returned from vacation to pick up our dogs, they were relaxed, calm and very happy around the children. We let Michelle know she is now known as the "Dog Whisperer" :). Typically, upon return home, our dogs are very stressed out from boarding and take a few days to get back into routine. This time was completely different - both dogs came home relaxed, happy and calm. The girls even made a special card for both dogs which is super cute. Can't thank Michelle and her family enough for a wonderful experience, our dogs can't wait to go back and spend time again. Highly recommend!”
“Raeann was amazing! From the initial meet and greet it was clear that Hudson would be well cared for. During his stay, she shared pictures/updates of their time together. She opened up her home to him. I will absolutely consider Raeann again to take care of Hudson while I travel!”
“Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.”
“Nelia and Brett, along with the rest of their beautiful family, took amazing care of our dog! Their communication was excellent — They sent (at least) twice daily updates and pictures. Our dog was given lots of attention and exercise and was very happy during his stay in their home. We will certainly book with them again and we highly recommend!”
“Lindsay took wonderful care of Loki while we were away. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Loki was happy and well loved. He enjoyed daily walks, plenty of bed cuddles, and all the attention he could ask for. We highly recommend Lindsay and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Loved that Melissa sent updates and pics everyday. Helped me to feel confident that he was receiving excellent care. He seemed like he enjoyed his "vacation" with his pals. Will definitely use her again.”
“I’ve used rover a lot over the years and this was the best experience I’ve had here with Mary. From the first meeting I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Anyone who knows dogs knows a tired dog is a good dog and as soon as Mary told me that her first order of business each day was to take her on a long walk I knew my dog would have a good stay. She sent pics and kept her engaged. Next time I need to board my dog I’ll be boarding with Mary 100%”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dogs for the weekend so we weren’t sure what to expect. She made everything so easy - sending pictures and videos throughout the day and keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing. Our pups especially loved the fenced-in backyard! We highly recommend her and will definitely book again.”
“Adrienne is awesome! She was very flexible with the pick up and drop off schedule, plus she took amazing care of Finn! Adrienne sent plenty of adorable pictures and videos of Finn having a great time playing with Phoebe. Highly recommended, would love to have her watch Finn again.”

“Kelsey is excellent. Great communication and always on time for her visits. I appreciated the cute photos every morning to know my kitties were being well taken care of. Will definitely call Kelsey again.”
“Sue was absolutely amazing! She took care of our two antisocial cats for a few days while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. Sue fed our fat boy some fresh tuna every day, refilled water, left out treats for our cats and more. She tried playing with them but they don’t really like new people so we are not surprised at all that they didn’t interact as much as we wish they did. The best thing about Sue is she is trustworthy, respectful and truly cares about animals. She came every day to make sure our cats were okay. Sue also asked for our preferred vet in case of an emergency which luckily did not need to be used. Overall we are grateful to have found Sue and so happy with her services. We will be sure to use her again if we need it!”
“Love love love Hailey. First time away from our fur baby. Hailey was very communicative and went above her normal duty. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Abbigail did an awesome job taking care of my cat Toby! She was responsible and reliable and our cat warmed up to her quickly. My cat also requires injected medication 2x/day and abbi was gentle with him and was able to get his medication in. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our Brownie!! You went right to it with no issues at all, we are impressed! Specially for being a last minute request! Brownie seems so happy and the house was exactly as we left it!. It was beyond easy to book with you, great communication and punctuality. We will be using Olivia as long as we can!”
“Dana was amazing with my kitty trio! As a sitter myself, I wanted the very best for my babies and Dana was definitely that! So many pictures and readouts from her visits put me at ease right away. I will most definitely be reaching out to her any time I need care. Absolutely recommend!”
“Chloe was great! Our girls were well taken care of while we were on vacation. She dealt with our cat’s anxiety and was able to feed them their medications, which was our main concern. We would definitely recommend and rebook!”
“First time working with Jarett, he spent a lot more time than we expected him to just building trust and relationship with our dogs. He’s very prompt at communication and sending photos. Everything happened exactly how we asked him to.”
“I was nervous to leave my two cats alone for a long weekend but Molly was great with both of them. Even my shy girl came around to her by the end of the weekend! From the meet and greet through the entire weekend I was away, Molly was great with communication and taking care of both my fur babies. Will definitely rebook with her for future trips!”
“Kennedy was great! She checked in on our kitty while we were away for a weekend, and provided cute photos. Our cat, Leia, seemed to really like her and she doesn’t always warm up to strangers right away. It gave me peace of mine throughout our trip knowing that Leia was being taken care of well. We will definitely be booking Kennedy again.”
About: Hi! I’m Brittni! I’m fortunate to have the ability to work from home often, which means your pets get lots of company and attention throughout the day! I’m also a proud fur-mom with years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether your crew includes a tiny Frenchie, a giant Great Dane, a cuddly cat, a curious ferret, or a feathered chatterbox, I’ve probably loved on one before! Size, breed, or the number of pets in your family doesn’t scare me—I believe the more paws, the merrier! Need someone who can give medications, keep up with special care routines, or convince your stubborn pup that going outside is actually a great idea? I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs and always take the time to learn exactly what makes each pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. I know leaving your pets behind can be stressful. After all, they’re family—not “just pets.” That’s why I care for every furry, feathered, or scaly friend as if they were my own. Whether they love long walks, endless games of fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby while they nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing crew. Let’s make your next trip worry-free—and maybe earn a few tail wags, happy purrs, and the occasional zoomies along the way! I have the ability to work from home during the week, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care and companionship throughout the day. After work, and during weekends are usually very flexible for me. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have a long leash so your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time, in addition to regular walks if you’d like. In my home, in addition to my husband, I have two Frenchies, one chocolate lab, and a cat (who mainly keeps to himself), as well as children who love animals and help provide plenty of companionship for your fur-baby.
About: Though I have less experience with cats, I still love and care for them the same! Most of friends have cats so when we hang out I’m almost always playing with their fur-babies. This past year I lived with a cat for the first time and I learned so much more about cat’s body language, behavior, and affection. Despite being my roommates cat, I loved and cared for her the same, making sure to play, cuddle, and pet her everyday! I would also help feed and water her, and make sure she was in good hands when my roommate was away.
“Kristie provided amazing service while caring for our 17 year-old cat while we were on vacation. She gave him lots of attention and was always on-time with giving him his medication that he needs twice a day. She gave us peace of mind knowing that he was being very well cared for. We will definitely use Kristie for pet sitting again!”
“Joni did a wonderful job. She watched our cat Tisha for 8 days. I know she was great because when Tisha got home she was happy and healthy. Thank you Joni. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!!”
About: I've own cats since I was 4 years old. I love every single cat I see and stop to pet them all (so long as they allow it). My own cats are both treated like kings. My older ginger boy also has asthma so he gets an inhaler twice a day.
About: Hello! My name is Stephanie, but I also go by Steph. I have 4 years dog grooming experience and I also have 5 years experience working at an emergency vet facility in the Washington, PA area. I accept any and all dogs for walking and boarding at your home. I have experience as well with dogs who need daily medications and treatment. That does not scare me! I am very partial to English Bulldogs, Boxers, Frenchies, Mastiffs, and Huskies! All breeds I have, or have had experience with. I look forward to meeting your four legged family member and treating them with the all the care and love they deserve! I am currently waiting to start school in September and am available 24/7 or whenever needed. After that I will be working 40 hours a week and will he available in the evenings at that time. I have a HUGE fenced in yard of my own, and three crazy dogs I care for daily as well. I would offer to sit dogs in my home, but my English Bulldog is very territorial and protective. It's best to watch your furry loved one at your home.
“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”

“Julia did a wonderful job with Bagel. She took her on many walks, played with her and gave her plenty of attention. Bagel is not good with other dogs and other animals so we were grateful to find someone who does not have any pets. Definitely will book with her again!”

“Adrienne is amazing! She sent us frequently updates on how Yogi was doing. Yogi got his walks, ate his food and had a lot of fun. Can’t wait to bring him back!”
“Amy is simply amazing! My little one jumps out of my arms to go to doggy day care with her. She loves all of the dogs so much and it shows. We would never use anyone else.”
“This is the first time I used Rover for dog sitting, and I absolutely hit the jackpot with Greg!!! I highly recommend him to anyone in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh for dog-related services. He is very friendly, caring, highly flexible, and trustworthy, and he maintained excellent communication/was highly responsive during the week that he watched my lab, Lily. Not a single concern crossed my radar leaving Lily with Greg for doggy day care. I knew she was in good hands and would be looked after well.”
“Sara is a great sitter. My dog was excited to see her and had a great day playing at her house. Her backyard is fenced in which gave me a sense of security leaving my baby. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: Experienced dog owner with a friendly corgi. Comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs, and elderly dogs. I provide attentive care, daily walks, playtime, and regular updates for peace of mind. I work a hybrid schedule, with Mondays and Tuesdays in the office and the rest of the week working from home. On my work-from-home days, I’m available to supervise pets, provide playtime, walks, and regular care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Dogs are always supervised, especially outdoors where I use a long lead and stay outside with them. I also provide a calm, safe environment with structured playtime with the help of Sparky my corgi, walks, and rest breaks. Nervous about leaving your pup or going away for the first time? Don’t worry — I make sure to keep you updated with lots of pictures, videos, and messages so you always know your baby is safe, loved, and having fun. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get extra love, attention, and comfort while you’re away. 🐾
“Amber and her family took care of my puppy as if she was theirs. The pup was always happy to see them and a little slow to leave, which is a great signal that she was well loved. Thanks, Amber!”
About: Hello my name is Rebecca. I am a huge animal lover! When my family and friends go out of town I am always the first person that they call to watch their animals. We recently just lost our old English bulldog who was our absolute pride & joy and are looking to show the same care we showed him to your fur baby.
About: I can be with your dog almost 24/7 because I work from home. We have a fenced in yard. I have trained 2 adult dogs to do multiple tricks, not take food, not run, and be good with children. Along with 10 plus years of things I have forgotten. I have experience with puppies and would prefer not to watch them. (negotiable) I have twins, and I think two human babies are easier than one puppy. I work from home, have a flexible schedule, a fenced in yard, and live in a suburban neighborhood where I can safely walk your dog/s. We have been dog owners for 15 years until our last baby passed in January at the age of 14. We have 10-year-old twins who love dogs and would love to play with yours, so your dog must be friendly with children. They are responsible enough to not bother your dog if it doesn't want to be bothered with though. I will have your pet with me on a pet bed, couch, or floor near me all day while I work from home. I can let them roam around the fenced in back yard as long as they would like. I am able to take them for walks at lunch and any time after 4:30 pm. We have 10 year old twins who love animals and would enjoy giving your fur baby extra attention. They are also responsible enough to not bother your dog if it doesn't want to be bothered with though.
“Joni was amazing ❤️ My request for doggy daycare was last minute and she still took Bella in and treated her as her own. I will 100% use her again and refer her to all of my friends and family. Thank you Joni ?”

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I’m available for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime and plenty of companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, meditations (if needed) and any special requests.

“Maria is amazing at being a trustworthy, reliable, kind pet sitter! Her communication from the beginning has been stellar. She suggested we have a meet and greet, which went very well. Her dogs are so sweet and well trained and warmly welcomed my dog. Her son is so kind and loving and he also made my dog Bailey feel cherished. I was nervous about how my Bailey would do in a new environment since she and I are pretty attached to each other but she had a terrific fun day and Maria sent me several pictures and even a video which completely put me at ease. There’s no doubt the next time. I have a need that Maria will be who I contact!”
About: I have been raising cats my entire life and currently have 2 12 year old cats. I have taken care of others dogs and recently got my own. I currently am in between jobs so I have open availability to be able to check on your pet and give you peace of mind while away. I do bathroom breaks every 0-2 hours with walks mixed in throughout the day. Feeding however you would like your pet to be fed. Lots of playtime!
“Valerie was terrific! She treated our little Hattie like her own and provided routine updates with pictures. We've already scheduled our next Doggy Day Care!”
“Val is an absolutely incredible dog sitter and we are so lucky to have found her. She is very flexible and communicative with us on dates and times. And most importantly, she is so so amazing with our dog Wilson. He is so excited to go over there every time and she sends so many pictures and videos which are our favorite part! They do so many different activities and Wilson loves her son so much! Cannot rave enough, thank you and see you soon!!”

“Susan was GREAT! She was kind and patient with my pup. My doggo can be a bit skittish, but Susan and my pup became instant besties. Susan sent a great update on their walk and shared pictures from their adventures.”
About: Hi everyone! 🐾 My name is Kelsey, and I’m a fun-loving, caring person with a lifelong passion for animals! I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals of all shapes and sizes. 🐶🐱 I had a wonderful 11-year-old Lab/Golden Retriever mix who sadly passed away in May 2022. 🐾 Today, I’m lucky to have Ash, my sweet cat who is a mix of Scottish Fold and Persian. 🐈⬛ I truly enjoy caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry friend is big or small, energetic or laid-back, I’m happy to give them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. I have a spacious home with plenty of yard space for pets to safely enjoy some outdoor time, play, and get plenty of exercise. I’m also happy to keep them entertained with their favorite toys and activities! My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and spoil them with lots of love and attention! ❤️🐾 Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I truly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to making this a wonderful experience for both you and your pets! 🐾 I work full time Monday through Friday. I work about 7 mins from home. So I still have plenty amount of time to care for your pets. I live in an apartment in a big house the yard is not fenced but there’s a big opening for them to roam or play in the grass with toys.
“I am very grateful to have found Robin. I have a senior, female pit bull, who was abused before I adopted her. Lily senses Robin's kind nature. She has taken to Robin as a new "best buddy". She's happy to go on walks with Robin and looks forward to her visits. Robin is attentive and a great listener. She is also very punctual, which I appreciate greatly. She has followed all of my instructions perfectly (a rare attribute these days). I have found Robin to be very trustworthy. I give her 5 stars and would give her a 10, if possible. If you want a trustworthy, affectionate and kind hearted sitter, hire Robin.”
“Abbigail was very prompt and professional with her communication, showed up on time, and walked our energetic puppy to get his wiggles out during a day that we could not. We were so happy to have her and everything went smoothly!”
About: If u need a drop in visit please send a message! I respond quickly. Even if it shows I haven’t updated My profile please message as I am very flexible. I have house sat for cats and fed them. I have also assisted with finding homes for kittens as well. I will treat your cat and your home with respect! I work from home or can work from someone’s home. I can be flexible with your schedule and respectful of your home and your pets routine. If visiting your home I will make sure all is safe and secure and follow instructions as written.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and understand just how much energy, attention, and love they need to thrive. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels happy and cared for. I’m also experienced in administering medications and injections, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs with specific health needs. My goal is to keep your dog safe, active, and loved—just like you would. I am currently in college right now. I am a commuter so I stay at home. I am always in between free in between classes as well as the weekends being completely open. I provide care that keeps pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I spend quality time with them through play, walks, and attention, while also keeping their space clean and stress-free. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. I supervise them closely, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and regular meals. I also have a 2 year old cat named Cairo that is an absolute pleasure to be around. He would love to provide your animals the company they might want.
About: I spend my time taking care of my 3 (yes, 3!) dogs and there's nothing I'd rather do! I also love making new furry friends. I'm fit and active and I will play as long as the dogs will! Please provide as much info as possible about your pet so that I may customize the care I provide. Pet care IS my routine; I am available seven days a week to walk or sit your fuzzy friends. I have flexibility to accept same-day requests if necessary. Safety and exercise are a priority; I like to take multiple walks per day and will always keep dogs on leash and safe while having a fun time.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets ever since I was little, I’ve lived with at least one pet almost my whole life. Because of this, I am able to recognize body language in pets with relative ease, and how to react based on what signals they’re sending. Most of my experience comes from dogs, but I also have plenty of experience playing with and taking care of cats, bunnies, chickens, turtles, and more! I have lots of energy, patience, and love to give any little (or big) creatures that cross my path! My current work schedule is extremely flexible, and I’m working part time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets any time throughout the entire week! I can frequently stop by since my job keeps me on the move and spend loads of time with them before and after my shifts! Both of my own dogs are trained with an invisible fence. I have a pretty big yard so they don’t need to go on walks super frequently, but I still like to take them out every once in a while. I feed the dogs twice a day (once in the morning and once at night), but I take it by a day by day basis as sometimes they have leftover food, etc. I usually spend at least an hour or so of my day specifically playing with my dogs, but I understand that your pets will most likely have different play wants/needs. I am always down to cuddle and give lots of pets and belly rubs, but I would never force your pets to if they aren’t interested.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was about 10 years old. They always seem to love me and I love them as well. I also have experience in training as well I’m available all the time as I’m unemployed at the moment. I have plenty of time to spend time and care for pets. I have a dog of my own and he was the sweetest. He gets along with other dogs well I can easily create a dog if needed. But I do have another dog in the home. He is very sweet and gets along with other animals very well.
About: I have experience in working with animals in boarding and daycare and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I am trained in animal restraint, administering medications, and reading body language. I also have 4 family dogs and one of my own. Taking care of pets is my life. For work, I take care of animals at Cheat Lake Animal Hospital in General Practice as a Veterinary Assistant. I am also studying Veterinary Technology at Pennwest California. Because of my academics, during school, booking may be limited/may need to be changed around. I have a female rescue dog that loves other dogs and cats! If you want your dog to have a friend, I can bring her, or if not, that's okay too!
“Molly did great with Luna! She sent me great pictures and kept me informed each day. Luna can be shy, but it seems she warmed up to Molly quickly. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats when younger and a bit recently. Friends and neighbors have used me to check in on their pets and taken care of them. I have had cats for 12 years and currently have two 3 year old cats! Currently open for any/all bookings and have plenty of time for caring and loving for your pets. I am not very busy so even if you need last minute bookings I will most likely be available to care for your pet. Will be very patient with your animal and make sure that they are as comfortable as they can be. Should not have issues with watching or walking your pet and am open to any lengths of walks. Will be willing to do long walks if that’s what your animal loves!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds from rescues, seniors, puppies, and everything in between. I also have experience caring for cats and some smaller animals and reptiles. Feel free to ask me about your other pets and I’ll let you know honestly if I am able to provide care. I'd be a great fit if you're a detail-oriented or slightly worried/anxious pet parent who wants their routine followed to the letter, frequent updates, and someone who treats your home and family members with love and respect. Getting a routine right matters a lot to me. I ask lots of questions upfront and pay close attention to the small stuff: think feeding times, meds, favorite routes, comfort items, quirks, fears, or behaviors, because those details are what make a dog feel secure. I'd rather over-communicate than guess. I lived with and cared for a reactive dog for 13 years, so I know firsthand what it takes to help an anxious dog feel safe, and how to prevent conflict in the first place. All my dogs have been rescues, and I have a soft spot for dogs who need extra patience to warm up. I'm not a certified trainer, but I've spent years learning dog training, body language, and enrichment, and every interaction is rooted in positive reinforcement. I will require a meet and greet with your pet in advance of the first booking so they can become familiar with me, and so I can become familiar with their routine and needs. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to be present for your dog, whether that's extra walks, playtime, or just being around for company, and I'm happy to talk through what kind of availability works best for your pet! I work from home which allows me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in a way I wouldn’t be able to with a traditional office. This gives me the ability to keep anxious dogs company, breaks for play time, medication, cuddles or walks when they are needed, not when they can be fit in. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or theirs, I work on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace and honoring their boundaries. Safety is always my top priority, I supervise pets closely, follow all instructions carefully, and adapt to their unique needs. I keep spaces clean, hazard-free, and ensure pets have fresh water, proper food, and quiet resting spots. For reactive or anxious pets, I use gentle, low stress handling & positive reinforcement or redirecting to help them feel calm and supported. Every care plan is tailored specifically to your pet’s needs after we discuss what works best for them.
About: Hi there! I’m located in beautiful Brookline, just off the boulevard and a short stroll from the park—perfect for daily doggy adventures! My home is full of charm, with spacious gated front and backyards where your furry friend can safely roam and play. I absolutely love the joy animals bring and truly enjoy spending time walking, playing, and bonding with dogs. Whether it’s at my place or yours—whatever works best for you—I’m thrilled to offer loving, attentive care for your pets while you’re away. I am pretty flexible with advance notice. If there is a particular schedule, please let me know to schedule accordingly while you are away. Thank you! Walk, play, cuddle. I have a fenced yard—with one friendly dog at my residence. If I feel they have the energy to burn, I’d go for a walk, hike, or run.
“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”
About: I’ve had my own dog for 12 years, and have been working with dogs for years at a doggy daycare!

Comfortable, spacious, clean and loving environment!😁 I currently already work with dogs part-time at the dog stop (doggy daycare)! I have my own pup as well, and have plenty of time any day of the week for dogs to board! I have a spacious and clean home for them to play and hang out in, a nice big yard and a great neighborhood for walks! 😁 in a clients home as well as my own.. I’ll spend lots of time hanging with, playing with and keeping them company! Take them for walks, give them a nice big bed with a warm blanket, get them nice clean water and lots of love and comfort! 😁I’m also good at reading dog behavior and body language, and can calmly attend to whatever they need!

“This was our first time being away from our pup for an extended period of time and Joni put us at ease with updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Charlie was receiving quality care and attention.”
“Jessica and Theodore took amazing care of our dogs while we were away, and our dogs had a great time! We loved getting daily picture updates of them while we were gone. They had lots outside play time. They came home brushed and tired. We will definitely reach out to them in the future for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you!”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Maria is wonderful! Shadow loves her. We feel confident that Shadow is well cared for when she overnights at Maria’s. I also appreciate her sending me photos of Shadow during her stay. I highly recommend Maria! 😊”
“This is truly a VACATION for dogs! They get to enjoy a beautiful farm, go on walks/runs daily in nature. This is a superior experience in comparison to a kennel or leaving a dog elsewhere. They get go much attention and love. The barn the dogs sleep in is really cool. It looks like it was stables for horses. Each dog gets their on stable. You can bring your dog’s bedding & toys and they are happy in their stall. Christina & Daniel have it down to a science how to run the place so each dog gets lots of attention & outdoor play. I find this place to be incredibly inexpensive considering all they get. Way cheaper than most of the people on Rover wanting to watch your dog at their own house. BOOK here always.”
“We can't speak highly enough of our dogs' experience with Michelle and Luke's family. We booked our two dachshunds with their family for a week vacation. Our dogs had very little experience around young children and we had concerns this may be a challenge. We initially met with Michelle online and she was kind enough to explain her home and property layout, discuss any questions we had. During drop off, we met with Michelle and spent some time getting to know her and the property, which are both well suited to ensuring her doggie guests are comfortable and well taken care of. Our dogs were obviously excited and carrying on during drop off, barking at anything that moved. Michelle assured us everything would be ok and explained how her and the family would work with our dogs over the next several days. During vacation, we had great daily interaction and Michelle provided photos and feedback of how our dogs were progressing and interacting with the children. This daily interaction made a huge impact on how our vacation went, none of the typical worry about the dogs being ok. By the time we returned from vacation to pick up our dogs, they were relaxed, calm and very happy around the children. We let Michelle know she is now known as the "Dog Whisperer" :). Typically, upon return home, our dogs are very stressed out from boarding and take a few days to get back into routine. This time was completely different - both dogs came home relaxed, happy and calm. The girls even made a special card for both dogs which is super cute. Can't thank Michelle and her family enough for a wonderful experience, our dogs can't wait to go back and spend time again. Highly recommend!”
“Raeann was amazing! From the initial meet and greet it was clear that Hudson would be well cared for. During his stay, she shared pictures/updates of their time together. She opened up her home to him. I will absolutely consider Raeann again to take care of Hudson while I travel!”
“Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.”
“Nelia and Brett, along with the rest of their beautiful family, took amazing care of our dog! Their communication was excellent — They sent (at least) twice daily updates and pictures. Our dog was given lots of attention and exercise and was very happy during his stay in their home. We will certainly book with them again and we highly recommend!”
“Lindsay took wonderful care of Loki while we were away. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Loki was happy and well loved. He enjoyed daily walks, plenty of bed cuddles, and all the attention he could ask for. We highly recommend Lindsay and would absolutely book with her again.”
“I’ve used rover a lot over the years and this was the best experience I’ve had here with Mary. From the first meeting I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Anyone who knows dogs knows a tired dog is a good dog and as soon as Mary told me that her first order of business each day was to take her on a long walk I knew my dog would have a good stay. She sent pics and kept her engaged. Next time I need to board my dog I’ll be boarding with Mary 100%”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dogs for the weekend so we weren’t sure what to expect. She made everything so easy - sending pictures and videos throughout the day and keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing. Our pups especially loved the fenced-in backyard! We highly recommend her and will definitely book again.”
“Adrienne is awesome! She was very flexible with the pick up and drop off schedule, plus she took amazing care of Finn! Adrienne sent plenty of adorable pictures and videos of Finn having a great time playing with Phoebe. Highly recommended, would love to have her watch Finn again.”
“Victoria was great! Super communicative and shared lots of fun videos of Harper during her stay. She was watching several dogs, all of whom had a calm demeanor suggesting they felt safe and loved while staying with Victoria. Will definitely book again! (Harper says thank you 🐾🐾)”
“Amy does a great job. I have small dogs and she arranged an area for them with their own couch so they could be up higher and fenced off from the bigger dogs until all had a chance to adjust to each other. She was terrific at sending pics and texts with updates. ‘”
“Adam was great with our dog boone!! You can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs. He Kept us updated daily and sent lots of pics (very cute ones ! ) Boone loves to be outside and Adam took him on so many good walks, visited the dog park , and they even got a pup cup! We will definitely be rebooking in the future”
“Emily and Patrick and of course Eli were wonderful with my little guy! So warm and welcoming during the meet and greet and very easy going with lots of picture and video updates! I felt at ease knowing my pup was loved on and cared for while I was out of town and would highly recommend them for anyone in need of a dog sitter.”
