“Laura was a phenomenal pet sitter for my dog! He's usually an anxious wreck after coming back from boarding at kennels but he was so calm and relaxed when he was returned to me from Laura! I will definitely be using her again, she's fantastic!”

“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”
“Glenn took very good care of our crazy doodle while we were away.He is a little anxious with strangers so I was a bit nervous but he came home a happy little camper. The daily pictures and quick responses made me comfortable he was in good hands. Glenn's communication from drop-off through pickup made our first Rover experience a positive one. Thank you Glenn!”
“Cheyenne was a savior. She agreed to board our pet (Snowball) when we had a last minute cancellation. She was very quick to provide a response when we reached out via the Rover app to have a quick meet and greet and agreed to board snowball. Sure was very considerate and understanding our angst about staying away from our pet and regularly shared Snowball's photos. Snowball had a great time with waffle and Cheyenne's family. She took extra care to feeding snowball when snowball was missing us, took her on walks and hike, treated her with ice cream and went out of her way to give snowball a bath and made her smell really good with aromatic oils. We were very lucky to find someone as caring as Cheyenne and her family, so much so that we already planned to board Snowball with her in our upcoming trip. Thank you for taking so good care of her.”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”

“Jennifer was fantastic with my dog Jazzy he has such anxiety when I leave him somewhere but with the daily reports and pictures from Jennifer he did fantastic for the days that I left him in her care I would definitely hire her to take Jazzy in her home again”
“They were wonderful with my new puppy Charlie. They sent me pictures and they treated him like one of their own. I felt comfortable leaving him with them.”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful and a lifesaver. She was able to take care of my Minks(cat) for several days after she was recently fixed. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Minks was perfectly comfortable in her home and she took excellent care of her.”

“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”

“Gia was absolutely amazing! She cared for my two dogs over 3 days—17-year-old River, who is handicapped and in diapers, and 5-year-old Teddy, who’s very skittish—with incredible patience and love. She handled diaper changes with ease, gave Teddy the gentle attention he needed, and was always punctual. The thoughtful updates and sweet photos gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were happy, safe, and clearly loved her. I couldn’t have asked for better care. Truly five-star service!”
“Jill was amazing! She was very thorough with ensuring she covered all of Izzy’s routine while she was here. She communicated with me the whole time and gave me updates. I also felt very comfortable having her stay at my home. We will definitely be using Jill again to care for our kitty!!”
About: I’ve loved and owned cats and dogs through every phase of my life, making animal care second nature to me. As an extremely empathetic and caring person, I treat every pet like family. I absolutely love snuggling kitties and promise to give your fur baby all the patience, warmth, and attention they deserve! I work from Monday to Thursday each week, so I'm available after 5pm on those days. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I am always free to spend time with your furry friend. As a pregnant mom living in an apartment, I'm currently only available for walks and drop-in visits with cats and dogs (up to medium size). I'm also open to caring for small animals and exotic pets - feel free to message me and ask!
“Thank you so much Jessica for taking such amazing care of my babies. Your messages were so funny and well written. My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies! I looked forward everyday to reading your daily updates in the notes on rover. I'm glad my cat Gizmo got the chance to boss somebody else around for a change lol.”
“Devaeh was super communicative, punctual, friendly, and most importantly, so sweet and kind to my babies. We booked with her after an injury sidelined me from being able to adequately care for my pups during the day, while my husband was at work. She was such a big help!”
“Cheyenne and her husband did a GREAT job with our slightly unusual cat situation. They were also able to make a few adjustments mid-week to take care of something I didn't plan for. Me and my wife are in the process of adopting a stray mom and kittens. The kittens are inside, mom is still outside and we had a work related trip scheduled in the middle of this process. With the updates from Cheyenne/Mike along with webcams, we were able to relax knowing that all three were being taken care of.”
“Andrew is the best! He was very attentive to our cats and send photos daily. We weren’t worried at all! Communication was wonderful and no issues at all. Would highly recommend him.”
“Alannah was a terrific cat sitter - attentive, communicative, and caring to our pets! I appreciated her accommodating a somewhat last minute request and I came home to some happy cats :)”
About: I’ve always loved cats and have experience caring for them in all their unique moods. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter care, playtime, and even the occasional bath. I’m patient, attentive, and respect each cat’s personality—whether they’re cuddly or independent. Your cat will be cared for like my own.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats as pets, so have lifelong experience caring for animals. My family owned a small farm for a period of time, so I also gained experience with horses in addition to cats and dogs. We owned a German Shepard and a cockapoo, so I do have direct experience with both smaller and larger dogs. In high school, I took 4 years of animal science, which further advanced my knowledge of pets and gave me hands on experience in a pre-veterinarian science atmosphere. I plan on returning to school in the near future to further my studies in the animal sciences field and pursue a career as a Veterinarian Technician. I have had a life full of loving animals and live to care for them any way I can.
“Briana was an excellent in home sitter! She kept us updated every day about our cat, Lilly. She also sent photos and videos daily of her. She gave her medicines twice a day and brushed her, which she loves and gave her lots of pets and attention. She is the best sitter we've had since we moved.”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful and a lifesaver. She was able to take care of my Minks(cat) for several days after she was recently fixed. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Minks was perfectly comfortable in her home and she took excellent care of her.”
“With this being my first experience with the app, Lauren made the experience easy, and comfortable. Her and Winnie got along great. I was very happy to have the peace of mind, knowing Lauren was taking care of Winnie.”
“Ivy and her partner where the most friendly and caring host to my cats. They really helped make a stressful situation less stressful. Helping me relax knowing my companions were in good hands”
“I’m approaching about a dozen visits with Haley now, always grateful to be able to leave for a few days knowing my adored cars are in warm responsible hands. I can’t say how much it means not to worry. Thank you Haley!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of having Christina take care of my two fur babies, Atlas and Arya, and I couldn't be more grateful for her exceptional service. This was the first time I've ever had someone watch over them, and naturally, I was quite nervous. However, Christina's professionalism and genuine care quickly put my mind at ease. From the moment we met, Christina was warm and attentive, immediately forming a bond with both Atlas and Arya. Throughout the day, she stayed in constant communication, sending me multiple updates and adorable pictures of my pets enjoying their time with her. These updates were invaluable in easing my anxiety, and it was clear from the photos that my pets were happy and comfortable. Christina's dedication and attention to detail were evident in every interaction. She followed all my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to ensure that Atlas and Arya were well taken care of. Her thoughtful updates and consistent communication turned a potentially stressful situation into a very positive experience. I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. She truly understands the importance of trust and communication, and her love for animals shines through in everything she does. Thank you, Christina, for taking such wonderful care of Atlas and Arya and for making their first experience with a pet sitter so positive and enjoyable!”
“Fluffy had a wonderful time with Amber! It's not often that Fluffy has the opportunity to play with other dogs her size, so this was certainly a treat for her. Judging the by the pictures from her Rover card, it's evident that Fluffy was spoiled with attention and love during her stay. I will DEFINITELY be booking Amber again in the future and recommend all others to do the same!”

I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas.

My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales.

I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs.

About: Hi, I’m MJ, and dogs have been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I've cared for a variety of breeds and even some exotic animals, including a wild rabbit and an armadillo. I have a wealth of pet-sitting experience, and while living in the Lehigh Valley, I built a large clientele, earning 5-star reviews for the love and attention I gave to every pet in my care. My heart shattered when I lost Bella, my beloved 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, on 9/28/2024. Bella taught me more than I could ever imagine about caring for senior dogs. Through holistic methods and homemade nutrition, I extended her life and kept her healthy for 13 beautiful years. Bella needed special care, including gentle exercise, frequent bathroom breaks, a comfortable resting environment, and close monitoring of her health and behavior. I administered medications when necessary and worked hand-in-hand with her vet to ensure she had the best life possible. What sets me apart is the personal experience I gained from caring for Bella. I know how to tailor care for senior dogs, understanding the importance of mobility support, dietary restrictions, and health conditions. I always stay in close communication with pet owners to ensure I am meeting all of your dog’s specific needs. I pride myself on creating a safe, hazard-free, and chemical-free environment (aside from essential cleaning products in the bathroom and kitchen). Your dog will never come near harmful chemicals in my clean, cozy apartment, where they’re free to snuggle on the couch or bed. Also, I have plenty of experience feeding according to strict dietary instructions and administering oral medication as needed. Since Bella crossed the rainbow, my heart has been heavy, but the presence of other pets has helped me heal the sadness. I would love the opportunity to share my affection with your furry family member and care for them as if they were my own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior needing extra attention, I'll give them the same love and devotion I gave to Bella, with the hope that one day, I'll meet her again. We wanted to share a small update about our schedule. Recently, David’s work situation has changed, and he is no longer home full-time. While I still work outside the home and we continue to coordinate our part-time jobs on different days, there may now be occasional times when neither of us is home for short periods. That said, we’re always happy to talk through any questions you may have, and we’re committed to working with you to find a solution if needed. Pet care remains an important part of our daily routine, and your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness continue to be our top priority. We truly appreciate your trust and are excited to keep welcoming your pets as part of our family. In our home, we provide a cozy, safe, and loving environment for your dog. While we don’t have a yard, we live in a quiet apartment complex with plenty of green areas for walks and outdoor play. We enjoy strolling around the peaceful neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Rest assured, we always keep dogs on a leash to maintain their safety, and we carefully monitor their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. Inside our home, your pet will have access to all the comforts they deserve—whether it’s relaxing on the couch or snuggling up on the bed. We take extra care to create a stress-free, hazard-free space where your dog can feel at ease. Our goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy.

I am responsible and really enjoy the outdoors and including my dog in daily activities outside We walk our German Shepherd daily and play with her in the yard.

“Jared and Karen are excellent with Wally. Wally already loves them and looks forward to his daily walks. Both Jared and Karen are huge animal lovers and it shows. I feel very comfortable with them walking Wally because I know they take great care of him.”
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite part of the day is seeing their tail wag! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my days by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine. I am willing to provide regular updates and pictures to make the owners feel as comfortable as possible!
“We've got Kayla booked for a week of dog sitting. She came over to meet and walk my dogs prior to. The dogs liked her right away and my daughter as well. I think that says it all :-)”

About: I’ve taken care of my cat and dog for 8 years. I love to walk my neighbors dogs and create relationships with all types of animals. I currently work a full time job. i’m usually off two or three days a week and sometimes overnight so i’ll be available during the day. I can easily crate if your dog needed it. My neighbor is a dog friendly area. I can doors and windows locked and closed at all times.
About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, and have cared for cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits. I love them all unconditionally and believe they should be raised to know full bellies, warm cozy nights, and endless love. I have experience working as a groomers assistant and a kennel attendant professionally for about 3 years as well, so I know how to handle special needs ranging from anxiety to aggression. I also understand what it's like to be tight on funds, and the need to budget tightly in order to properly care for your furry friends! If my Rover prices are too high for your budget, shoot me a message and I can help you stay in your range! I'm flexible, especially since all pets are different and require different amounts of work! I'm currently transitioning into working a typical full time job, so my once very wide open schedule has slimmed down a lot. I can best typically do check ins and walks in the early morning and in the evening. I'm assuming that I'll be doing a typical 9 to 5, so anything before 9am or after 5pm is within reach for me to make sure your pets are well cared for and loved while you're away. ❤️ You can reach out to me with any schedule questions and I can try to work something out with you! I always do my very best to be as gentle as possible with all pets! I tend to avoid using "alpha" proving tactics unless it is necessary for my or your pets safety (ex. scruffing, using chokers tightly, using the shock option over the buzz option on an electric collar). I see these options as only being necessary when the pet is acceptionally aggressive and may hurt myself, itself, or others. I'm also very cautious around doors as I know many pets would take the opportunity to bolt it into the street if they could. I can handle bruises and scratches well from excited pets! I'm usually always covered in them from my own fur babies.
About: I have worked in the vet med field. Taking care of pets is part of the job. I was a kennel assistant as well. I am pet CPR and First Aid Certified, so you can have comfort that I will know what to do in emergency situations for your pets. Will take real time photos of your pets to keep you updated while you are away. I am going to school for becoming a certified veterinary technician. So I feel my skills help me help people with their pets. I have done house calls for giving medication, nail trims, and pet sitting. I WILL NOT take care of your pet if they are aggressive or have bitten someone in the past. For unvaccinated pets I will not take care of them if they have bitten someone. No acceptions! ALL pets are prefered to be up to date on vaccines. I also require a meet and greet of your pets prior to any services so they get to know me and no complications arise, especially for house sitting. I will come to your house and do anything they would need, making it more comfortable for your pet. Whether it be walking your pets, pet sitting, giving medication, nail trims, or taking them out to potty.
About: Ever since I can remember, I have had a dog in my home. They are the joy and love you need everyday even if you don’t think you need it! Dogs bring me joy and happiness where I can enjoy all kinds!! I am currently working from home! So I have time during the day and evenings where I can give some love to your pets! I can work from Monday-Friday and take lunch at anytime! I have one dog who loves to play and be outside! My husband and I have trained her well! So if you need tricks and tips I can help!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight. Not only my own personal pets, but also those of friends and family members. I do not currently have any pets, but I love animals, so this is my way to interact and spend time with them! I currently attend school, but my classes are spread out and only on certain days so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice, long walk. I'm really good as being able to tell if an animal is comfortable in a situation or not, so after our first walk, I can find the most enjoyable route for your dog!
About: I have health care experience from my daily career and I've been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. This includes several kitten rescues and rehoming. My little girl abby was a recue. Feeding, grooming, litter care needs, emotional support, love, time, and attention all go towards my cat at home on a daily basis. It's a labor of love. I would approach each clients needs with focus on respect, reliability, attention to details, and loving care towards each clients pet. I understand each clients needs will be individual.

Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.

About: Are you searching for a unique and flexible animal lover with 7 years of professional pet care experience under her belt on Rover and elsewhere? I currently work as a Dog Groomer at Petsmart, and have other past work experience from day care and boarding facilities. Let your pet(s) hang out with me while you’re away and you will have peace of mind that their routines will remain intact, and they will always stay happy and healthy during every short visit and all extended stays with me.😊 I know how to approach animals who might have anxious or cautious tendencies due to my experience with rescue animals, and have cared for several different special needs animals (ex. Blind, Deaf, heart conditions, brachycephalia) I can be entrusted to administer oral medication effectively as well. No matter the breed or demeanor, dogs seem to warm up to me very quickly. Disclaimer- we just may become best friends when they get their first back scratch. I typically accomodate with Daytime Drop-ins, 30/60 min. Dog Walks, and very flexible custom House Sitting services. Please contact me through Rover, phone, or email, and I will promptly respond to sort out an arrangement that best suits everyone, especially your pets! 🐶 I work full time as a dog groomer at Petsmart 10-6 Monday-Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I am available for your pets all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and evenings/nights always! I offer house-sitting services for clients needing me to stay in their home while they go away for a long period of time, and also drop in visits/quick walks for clients who need someone to check on their pup during the day. I provide food and water, allow them exercise and go outside as needed, entertain them to their hearts' content, and naturally I give them all the love they deserve and then some. 🥰 I accomodate for pet care needs by providing pet sitting or walking services in the evenings and on my days off from my full time job. I do not provide services within my home, but in a client's home, I always make sure the pets are comfortable with my presence, and I care for them exactly as the pet parents require. They can contact me anytime to check on them and I always send pictures.
About: Animals have always had a sweet spot in my heart. I have taken care of animals since I was a child, I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, chickens, pigs, cows, and a lot more! When I first enter a persons home I hope their dog or cat comes to me and let’s me love on them. If not I’ll play it cool and wait for them to be ready. I grew up with varying dog breeds including a Chow/German Shepard, Staffordshire Terrier Mix, Newfoundland, Jack Russel, and a Beagle. I will always try my best to make animals feel comfortable. If they’re shy I let them warm up to me. I will care for your animals with my whole heart because I know if you care about animals like I do, your dog or cat is your baby! I’m an occupational therapist by day and I like to do this on the side for fun! Please reach out! I hope I am available to help you. I currently work as an occupational therapist by day and love to do this on the side. I have 3 fur babies myself and would love to have more if it was a logical decision. Due to that, let me help you when I am able to do so! I always love to have super detailed requests compared to vague directions. Whatever you ask I will try my best to do and if it doesn’t work, I will communicate that to you.

“Laura was a phenomenal pet sitter for my dog! He's usually an anxious wreck after coming back from boarding at kennels but he was so calm and relaxed when he was returned to me from Laura! I will definitely be using her again, she's fantastic!”
“Anna is fabulous. My guy is a little stand offish with me people yet Anna won him over in no time at all. Provided cuddles, lots of play time and he even made some new friends. I cannot recommend Anna highly enough!”
“Adriana was fantastic! Her home is a perfect setup. She has multiple spaces for the dogs inside and out. She is also a very good communicator. Sent lots of pictures and video every day! My dog Rocky was cared for like he was her own. Thank you!”
“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”
“Cheyenne was a savior. She agreed to board our pet (Snowball) when we had a last minute cancellation. She was very quick to provide a response when we reached out via the Rover app to have a quick meet and greet and agreed to board snowball. Sure was very considerate and understanding our angst about staying away from our pet and regularly shared Snowball's photos. Snowball had a great time with waffle and Cheyenne's family. She took extra care to feeding snowball when snowball was missing us, took her on walks and hike, treated her with ice cream and went out of her way to give snowball a bath and made her smell really good with aromatic oils. We were very lucky to find someone as caring as Cheyenne and her family, so much so that we already planned to board Snowball with her in our upcoming trip. Thank you for taking so good care of her.”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with my dog Jazzy he has such anxiety when I leave him somewhere but with the daily reports and pictures from Jennifer he did fantastic for the days that I left him in her care I would definitely hire her to take Jazzy in her home again”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful and a lifesaver. She was able to take care of my Minks(cat) for several days after she was recently fixed. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Minks was perfectly comfortable in her home and she took excellent care of her.”
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Lisa was great and took care of my pup! I had never left her for so long and it was comforting knowing she was in good hands. She sent updated throughout and I know she was well taken care of.”
About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met! When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!
About: Hi! I’m Julie. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by a menagerie of animals from a young age. Everything from chickens and goats to rabbits, cats, and dogs, and the occasional bit of wildlife, were welcome in my families home. As a high school student I became increasingly involved in agriculture and milked cows and cared for livestock. This turned into a love that led me to college in rural Maine where I earned a degree in Agriculture and Sustainability, all while working on a dairy farm each day. Currently, I homeschool my two children and am blessed with the ability to work from home. We live on a wooded property and have access to a small lake which is boarded by a wooded dirt road. Additionally, we have a small walking trail system directly on our property. We share our home with a Newfie doodle, Arlo, who is 1.5 years old, a Sulcuta tortoise, and a cat that lives under the bed. We have a large red deck with a fenced in space off of this for easy bathroom access and unleashed roaming space for your dog. I work from home and homeschool my children. Our days have built in flexibility and can be arranged to accommodate the needs of any pet staying with us. We enjoy time outdoors, and can often be found working remotely or “out schooling” from our backyard or a hiking trail. In our home, the pets are people too (and we will narrate their thoughts based on their expressions 🤪). Pets are allowed on the furniture and in all rooms. We have a large front porch for slow mornings and evenings that stretch well past sunset. We also have a large deck in the rear which has a fenced area off of it to allow plenty of space for unattended bathroom breaks or unleashed space to roam. My children are well versed in animal care and also understand giving space to a new animal, calm energy, etc. I will always setup a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Medications can be distributed, and special diets can be managed.
“I cant say enough about Sairy. To see how much my dog loves her time there makes my Heart happy. She sends me videos and pictures keeping me engaged with her daily activities. She is forever Remy's keeper when I need her in the future. She luvs luvs luvs her Aunt Sairy. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Patricia and Paul are excellent dog sitters. They kept me up to date, sent pictures and made me feel comfortable in leaving my baby with them. I highly recommend them to anyone. I am extremely pleased with my experience with Patricia, Paul and Rover.com. It was my first time, but not my last, to use their services. Thank you for the high quality service given to your clients!”
