“Stacy and family took such great care of my 2 year old pooch Graham, a rather large and beautiful handful of a puppy. My anxiety of boarding my family member left me the second I met her, I definitely recommend her and I think Graham already misses her love and care. Thank you Stacy!”
“Charissa, Shawn and family, provided EXCEPTIONAL care for our boy. He had such a great time that all he wanted to do was nap when he got home. (Which is fantastic as he is a high energy boy!) They had to navigate losing power to a horrible storm and yet still kept him safe and cool and provided updates as they could. It really felt like leaving him with family! 10/10 will book again!”
“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“Heather sent us pictures and movies that are so awesome!!! I was on a shoot-the-rapids tour so didn’t get to see them until I got back. My husband hadn’t seen the movies either but I shared a couple photos before we got on the raft. Loved seeing our puppy so happy. 5 star rating because it was at the very last minute that we booked this. Thank you so much. We definitely recommend Heather and will use her again. Rocky had the best time!!”
About: I am a Certified vet assistant trained in animal nutrition, grooming, and care. I have worked at Sight and Sound Theaters as an Animal Caretaker, Animal Handler, and an Animal Trainer. I have had several pets of my own and love all animals. For grooming I can clip hair, brush teeth, trim nails, and check basic health of animals. I know all basic animal training and can work on a multitude of things with your pets; ranging from standard things like sit, stay, lay, to more advanced things like crawl, speak, spin and other fun tricks. In addition to cats and dogs I have worked with birds, horses, camels, rats, pigs, cows and skunks. I have a lot of experience in training, healthcare, and grooming.
“We were very happy with Danielle and Briana when we picked up our baby boy. He didn’t seem stressed out like he normally does with other places. Actually he seemed very, very happy and in a much better mood than he normally is. From other places we have went he comes home like he’s been traumatized and it takes a week to recover. He was his normal self, actually more relaxed even on the same day. They did a great job with him.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!

We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies!”
“Tereza did a wonderful job with my dog. Tater Tot clearly liked her, and I came home to a happily tired dog. She was very communicative and took great pictures. It's obvious that she played with him a ton and even brought him on a nice long hike with her pup. Her dog was very sweet and polite. I felt like my dog was in really good hands. I hope she's available every time I go out of town.”

About: I have experience taking care of animals professionally in a boarding setting and within a vet clinic (as a technician, not a doctor). I have experience handling and caring for more ‘opinionated’ patients/animals. From dogs with stranger danger or ‘spicy’ cats. I have experience caring for diabetic and higher needs animals and particularly am rewarded by caring for older fur babies, cat and dog. I am experienced in administering insulin, am able to check blood glucose (if recommended by vet), administer medication (oral, liquid and pills, IM and topical). I have a deep care for all animals and always want to provide the best care possible. I take care to build rapport with animals and respect their communication, going slow and reading body language in order to understand their boundaries and provide the best care possible. I look forward to providing quality and compassionate care to your furry family members.
“Julie is the best!! She checked in on my cat Luna while I was away. My cat was spooked from our travels and she was able to get her out from her hiding spot under the bed. Luna even showed her belly rolls, she absolutely loved her. Thank you again Julie!”
About: I have grown up with and cared for pets my entire life. My mom worked in the show/breeding world for Bichons. We have had a fawn and a black pug. I love all sizes of dogs though! I grew up with cats too and have. I allergies or problems cleaning litter boxes etc. I am a manger at a local grocery store, I supervise overnight operations 5 days a week, 12am-9am, usually getting home around 930-10am. My wife and I do not travel often but would be sure to update my calendar. On my nights off I would be available if you are out of town and need help with your pets! We have one small dog, a Pug named Missy. She is super easy going and really just liked to sit on your foot or lap etc. whatever she needs she gets! For your pets, I will treat them as if they were my own. I love animals and really hope to help fill the gaps for you and your little family member.

About: I have 3 cats of my own, and my friends/neighbors/family rely on me to take care of theirs. One of my cats needs eye drops, so I'm experienced in that as well. Whether your cat likes to snuggle or just have someone acknowledge their superiority or play, I would love to help.
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“If I could give 10 stars I would!!! This was my first time using Rover and Alexis was fantastic. She gave me mannnyyy photos throughout the entire booked stay, my cats loved her!

“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care.

We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life, and I can’t imagine it any other way. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Your pup will get plenty of attention, affection, and care—just like they would at home. I am a registered nurse and lifelong dog lover offering doggy daycare and overnight boarding in my home. My home features a large fenced-in yard for safe play and, during the summer months, supervised pool time for fun and cooling off. With my nursing background, I’m attentive, reliable, and comfortable following routines or administering medications if needed. Your dog will enjoy a loving, safe, and comfortable home while you’re away—and you can relax knowing they’re in caring hands. Flexible daily daycare and weekend overnight boarding in a safe and loving home. Dogs enjoy full access to the house and a large fenced in yard.

I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
About: I've taken care of and have had pets for forty years, and would love to care for yours as well. I grew up raising Labador Retrievers, and have owned cats over the years as well. I've also had the pleasure of caring for and boarding friends' & families' pets, and having them in my home always brings me so much joy!!! We currently don't have any pets so yours will get all the attention! I am currently a stay at home mom who homeschools my teens. I have flexibility in my schedule most days of the week, and would love to care for your pets in my home, or in your home. I offer dog walking and visits to your home, and will take your pet(s) into my home as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking, and I will accomodate your pet's exercise needs.
About: I’ve grown up always having pets in the family and knew I had a passion for animal care. I’ve looked after senior dogs, puppies, female dogs in heat, rescues with trust issues, and dogs with Vision problems. I work from home so I have very open availability and I have a car so I’m able to commute to and from different rover jobs. I have a small backyard for potty time and a big park across the street with a path to go on the walks. I have a 25-30lb dog that’s with me off and on and a cat with me full time. They both love meeting new friends and warm up quite quickly to new animals staying with us.

Our home has a fully fenced yard and we’re ready to provide a safe, loving environment for your dog while you’re away! We own a business and operate out of our home so there’s always someone around to give your pet attention, feedings and potty breaks throughout the day. We provide attentive, loving care for your pet. Dogs are let out on a regular schedule for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air. Weather permitting, they’ll enjoy supervised playtime in our fenced in yard. We give plenty of attention, belly rubs and companionship so your pup feels safe.

“I needed last minute coverage for my dog and Kristen was beyond helpful. She is timely and follows all directions. My dog loves her and is so excited to see her everyday. One of the days, my dog was on medicine for the vet and she took extra great care of him. I appreciate her greatly, I would highly recommend her!”
“Erica was great and very patient with our pups. We have one dog that is very skiddish and takes awhile to warm up. He actually warmed up by the second day which is unusual for him. So glad found her as we lost our other dog walker who recently moved.”
“Kenneth is the absolute best dog walker and dog whisperer!! My dog has anxiety and is afraid of everything but not Kenneth. He got to know my dog and is gentle, not pushy. He’s friendly and punctual. I highly recommend him!”
About: I had a border Collie for 17 years now an American shepherd for 1.5 years and he's fully trained already he's great just still a pup. Currently I work part time for an Amish company and I do morning pick ups and evening drop off with Thursday me being at the job all day. With time in advance I can move stuff around if need be. Im basically free all week during the times everyone is working. Well my dog i train and make sure he's behaving before he gets a reward. I don't always make him do stuff for tricks, but I practice commands daily and when it's not raining we go on walks, unfortunately he gets car sick so long drives aren't great for him still. I hug him tell him he's great tell him when he's done something bad as well, Play with toys and I'm currently working on him knowing what toy I'm telling him to get
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Tyler as our dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Tyler is consistently on time, which is a huge relief for our busy schedule. His communication skills are excellent; he keeps me informed about how our dog is doing during walks and is always open to any questions I have. What truly stands out is how well he follows our care instructions. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about our dog’s well-being, and that gives us peace of mind. Our dog is not only safe but also incredibly happy after spending time with Tyler. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! Thank you, Tyler, for providing such wonderful care!”
