“Omg .. Dara was great. One of my dogs is not a people person but she (Nala) could not stop loving her when I got them back. This made me feel really good about leaving my babies with someone other then my son. I never liked going to do anything without feeling guilty but I feel so comfortable doing things now .. Thank you soooo much”
“Great experience!! Our Hadlee was well taken care of and had lots of fun, as she was exhausted when we picked her up. Love to see that! Will be rebooking with Tara!! Great communication,quick response, and flexible pick up/ drop off. Thank you Tara!!”
“I’m very happy with the care Rufo received. It was my first time leaving him with sitters, and they made me feel completely at ease. They kept me updated with photos and videos, and I could tell Rufo was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again”
“Wonderful people, wonderful home! We dropped off two nervous pups and picked up very happy ones. We loved the updates and pics and will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Shawna was great with Ollie. He can be a nervous dog when away from his mama, but Shawna reassured me with texts and pics/video that Ollie was doing ok! I really appreciated her willingness to help me out on pretty short notice.”
“Shannon was very sweet with Bear. She sent me a picture while I was away. She also took him on short notice which was a blessing! I recommend Shannon to anyone looking to board their fur baby.”
“It was the first time I had left my 2 beloved dogs anywhere, and I was so lucky to have found Jen. She was always sending me updates and pictures and was very patient with my anxiety about leaving them for a whole week. They were free to roam about the house and loved the enclosed porch. They received a lot of love and attention and I will definitely be taking them back!”
“Apollo had such an amazing time at Ben’s playing with their dog, Lily, this weekend. I really enjoyed receiving photos of them playing throughout the weekend. We will definitely book stays with them again in the future!”
“Andre and her family did a fantastic job caring for our mini bernedoodle! Andre was prompt with all communication and scheduling was easy. Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
“Angela and her family are awesome! Our dog loves going over there and is always treated well. They follow our house rules such as not getting on the furniture, and they share stories about the funny stuff our dog does during the stay. Highly recommend!!”
“Megan is amazing! Our pup was so happy to see her again and from the pictures it looks like she had so much fun! Megan even gave us the sweetest handmade gift because we were going out of town for our wedding! :)”

About: I have owned, taken care of, and loved cats since I was 5 years old. Cats have always, and will always, have a very special place in my heart! I rescued both of my girls from being feral kittens and raised both of them. My oldest girl was 12 when she passed in 2017, and my youngest girl just turned 13 in June.
“I had a short amount of time before 2 weeks of travel and Alex was close to my place and willing to help me out. She did an amazing job of looking after Gozer, and even stopped by before my I left to see where I keep everything at my house. 10/10 will book again”
“Adalynn was great with Moby and Tito! She communicated when she was heading over to my apartment and let me know if she was going to be a little earlier or later. She made sure they received lots of pets and love while I was away. Will definitely use her again for any pet sitting needs! :)”

“My dog, Buster, loves coming to play with Garrett and Garrett’s pup, Dax, for doggy day care! Even though Buster is older he still has a lot of energy, and he is the only dog in our home.

About: This is mine (Katy Snipes) and my husbands (Chad) account. We have had dogs and cats our whole life. We are comfortable with basic training and commands and love the old timers who need a little more TLC. We can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I (Katy) am currently a stay at home mom with my sweet first born son. I am very flexible during the week and would love to get on some walks with your pets. My husband offers available hands week day evenings as well as weekends. We have a fenced in back yard that our beagle loves to run around and play in. He is a spitfire when the energy is high, but can also lounge around the house when he knows it’s time to chill. We have a crate available if that is needed. However, our house is very pet friendly and open for your pet to make themselves at home.
“Cristina was able to accommodate us last minute to keep our doggie for the day. I got lots and lots of pictures as always and her family took such great care of LouLou for the day. Thank you Cristina.”

About: Hi! i did private boarding for 14 years but only want to keep 1 or 2 from same family at a time since I'm retired. Guests are only crated when I am away from home. Recently retired and home 24/7. I have a super flexible schedule to allow for plenty of play time and walks around my farm. Must be cat friendly as I also work with cat rescue organizations and have 2 inside cats of my own. I have a super large, fenced yard with two 7 year old Border Collies who get along with everyone and everything. In addition, I have a large screened porch for an additional space. I love walks and can take yours, too, for no additional charge.
“Anna was great taking care of our dog Mila, she informed us how it was going and even though it was Mila's first experience and she was nervous, Anna knew how to handle the situation. I definitely recommend Anna.”
“Tara was great. She was waiting for Pickles at drop off and walked her several times. Frequent updates during the day were greatly appreciated. Waiting at pickup time made going home transition easy. Highly recommend Tara. She anticipates what owners want and delivers. An awesome sitter.”
About: I have a lot of experience fostering and rehabilitating dogs who have had trauma, helping them come out of their shell and trusting humans again is my strength.

I have a cozy, air conditioned home with my senior beagle to keep your pup company. Will always have fresh water and treats available. I also have a crate if needed.

We love going for drives, long walks and playing outside and doing zoomies. My senior beagle is a great helper and I have a crate if needed.
“Rachel was super thorough even before our daycare day, reviewing our pup Shadow's instructions and asking questions about his breakfast time which would overlap with his drop-off which was super appreciated. Rachel and her fiance kept us updated with videos and great pictures of Shadow. Shadow had a great time with Dax, they were super fast friends and really wore eachother out. Shadow was tired for days afterwards from the exertion which was great for us. We will happily use them again for daycare or a longer stay.”
“Megan was great. I had a good experience. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone. She sent me pictures of him. I was late in picking up my puppy and she was ok with it. I would definitely recommend and leave my puppy with her in the future.”

“Sabrina did two drop in visits/ walks for us while we were at work. She seemed like she bonded with Belle very well and Belle loved her. She got to give our pup the hour of a potty break and attention she needed when we couldn’t be there and we greatly appreciated that. We look forward to working with Sabrina again.”
“Since we just relocated from Florida, we were a bit lost trying to find a pet sitter for our morkie. Since only friends and family watched him, we were a very nervous. Mikayla was wonderful and took great care of our little guy. We will continue to use Mikayla.”

We are entrusting both of our dogs to Abby's care. One of them is particularly sensitive due to his age and general nature. I have been genuinely worried about his well-being.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about eleven years old. Growing up, I always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and my love for animals led me to start volunteering at a local shelter when I was young. What began as a childhood dream quickly turned into a lifelong passion. Through years of volunteering and hands-on experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. Spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved is something that truly brings me joy. My passion for animal care has only grown stronger over the years, and I would love the opportunity to share that dedication with you by helping care for your pets and making sure they’re happy while you’re away ☺️🐾 I’m currently in nursing school and pet sitting through Rover full-time. Since most of my studying is done from home, I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care, giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. It’s the perfect balance for me—I get to focus on my studies while also caring for and snuggling with the amazing pets I’m trusted to watch. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!! 🥰 I have several years of experience dog sitting, cat sitting, dog walking, and volunteering at animal shelters, along with caring for pets of my own. These experiences have taught me how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I maintain a consistent routine and stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment so that your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for at all times!! 🐾💕
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, beginning with early exposure to veterinary clinics where I spent time shadowing and learning animal handling and care from a young age. This foundation grew into professional veterinary technician experience, where I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, puppies, and animals requiring daily medications or specialized care. In addition to my veterinary background, I volunteered with a service dog organization where I raised and trained future guide dogs. This experience strengthened my skills in leash training, socialization, crate training, and positive reinforcement methods while working with high-expectation working dogs in real-world environments. I also actively continue dog training as a personal passion and have earned three AKC Trick Dog titles with my own dog. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with energetic dogs, reinforcing basic obedience, and providing structured enrichment during walks and visits. I currently share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I understand day-to-day pet care, multi-pet dynamics, and the importance of consistency and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care whether that means a structured walk, a drop-in visit, medication administration, or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency and flexibility. I am able to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits, as well as regular walking schedules and drop-in care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can prioritize pet care visits and ensure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship on time. I’m used to building my day around routines, whether that’s scheduled walks, feeding times, or medication needs. I value clear communication and reliability, and I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent with every visit so pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive attention, fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any required medication. I also take time to provide companionship and help pets feel calm and comfortable before leaving. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level and needs. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level to ensure a positive experience. I always treat each home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates so owners feel informed and confident while they are away.

“Omg .. Dara was great. One of my dogs is not a people person but she (Nala) could not stop loving her when I got them back.

Thank you soooo much”
“Great experience!! Our Hadlee was well taken care of and had lots of fun, as she was exhausted when we picked her up. Love to see that! Will be rebooking with Tara!! Great communication,quick response, and flexible pick up/ drop off. Thank you Tara!!”
“I’m very happy with the care Rufo received. It was my first time leaving him with sitters, and they made me feel completely at ease. They kept me updated with photos and videos, and I could tell Rufo was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again”
“Wonderful people, wonderful home! We dropped off two nervous pups and picked up very happy ones. We loved the updates and pics and will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Shawna was great with Ollie. He can be a nervous dog when away from his mama, but Shawna reassured me with texts and pics/video that Ollie was doing ok! I really appreciated her willingness to help me out on pretty short notice.”
“Carrington was great, and very considerate & caring for my pup, Sammy. Was great with communication & amazing with sending updates & pictures, which was greatly appreciated!”
“It was the first time I had left my 2 beloved dogs anywhere, and I was so lucky to have found Jen. She was always sending me updates and pictures and was very patient with my anxiety about leaving them for a whole week. They were free to roam about the house and loved the enclosed porch. They received a lot of love and attention and I will definitely be taking them back!”
“Apollo had such an amazing time at Ben’s playing with their dog, Lily, this weekend. I really enjoyed receiving photos of them playing throughout the weekend. We will definitely book stays with them again in the future!”
“Andre and her family did a fantastic job caring for our mini bernedoodle! Andre was prompt with all communication and scheduling was easy. Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
“Angela and her family are awesome! Our dog loves going over there and is always treated well. They follow our house rules such as not getting on the furniture, and they share stories about the funny stuff our dog does during the stay. Highly recommend!!”
“Megan is amazing! Our pup was so happy to see her again and from the pictures it looks like she had so much fun! Megan even gave us the sweetest handmade gift because we were going out of town for our wedding! :)”
“It was my first time using the Rover App . Kashawna was very quick and responsive, answered all my questions that I had. Drop off and pick up went smoothly and she took great care of my sweet allie. I enjoyed receiving the several pictures she sent !”
“Jared and Ly were wonderful! They sent me lots of photos of my dog throughout her stay so I never wondered how she was doing! Highly recommend and will certainly use Jared again in the future :-)”
“My dog had the time of his life at Bailee's. He is an only dog at home who is obsessed with other dogs and was absolutely spoiled at her place, and came back pleased and exhausted. I received frequent updates and great photos of my dog playing in the backyard. Whenever I reached out for updates Bailee replied very quickly. We will be back!”
“Stephanie was great! She was really good about communicating with me and responded quickly. When I had a timing mix-up she was flexible and worked around my schedule. I had never left my kitten at another house before, so she allowed me to do a little day care for free before the actual dates I was gone to allow him to get used to the environment which was so nice. She also had two very sweet but super active dogs and a friendly cat. My kitty is pretty chill and adjusted well but I could see all of the other animals (especially the dogs) potentially being a lot for a skiddish/anxious animal to handle. At the end of the day I got Kuzco back a very happy cat and I would definitely trust her to watch him again :) Thank you!!”
“Rachel and her husband Graham are fantastic! I was a nervous dog mom leaving my pup who needs twice a day meds. They were super communicative about giving him his meds throughout the week and sent lots of videos, pictures, and updates so I knew he was relaxed and having a good time. Shadow gets along great with their dog Dax and we look forward to more future playdates with him and the other visitors.”
About: I’ve been passionate about dogs and pet care for over 15 years. As the founder of my own pet wellness brand, Shopypaws, I learned not only how to care for pets with love, but also how important their emotional well-being, routines, nutrition, and behavior are. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including active dogs like my own Border Collie mix, Reaver. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, making them feel safe, loved, exercised, and comfortable while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets because I treat every dog like family. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals and training positive behaviors. 🐾 Your pet will receive loving care, attention, patience, and lots of affection with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of attention throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for dogs, so I do my best to keep them comfortable, active, and stress free while their owners are away. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I adapt to their personality and needs to make them feel safe and loved. 🐾 Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is extremely important to me. I treat every dog like family and pay close attention to their behavior, routines, feeding schedules, and comfort levels. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, including active breeds like my own dog, Reaver. My background as the founder of Shopypaws also taught me a lot about pet wellness, behavior, and positive care practices. I keep pet parents updated with photos and communication so they can feel at peace while away. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy in my care. 🐶✨
