Communication was fantastic throughout the 10 day stay; since the beginning she was very attentive asking detailed questions about my pet. She also kept us posted with daily reports and pictures. And when I picked up my dog, I could see how well he was cared and loved during his stay. Thank you Rowena for making our first experience with Rover an amazing one, we’ll definitely be back!”
“Britteny took extra care of my fur baby. I had an emergency come up and couldn't take my dog and went on Rover to find a dog sitter. This was my second time using Rover and she responded quickly, said yes, and saved me a lot of hassle to try to figure out a plan B. She was so great with my husky and sent the best pics of her having fun. I will re book with her the next time I need a sitter. She was amazing. I really apprecaite her taking in a new pup and making her feel so comfortable. Thanks Britteny and thanks to her family.”

“I had the pleasure of using the Rover app for the first time, and I was so fortunate to find Cora. From the very beginning, she gave me complete peace of mind with her experience, availability, and genuine love for caring for dogs. While I was away, I felt confident knowing my dogs were in a safe, calm, and loving environment. It was clear they were well cared for and received plenty of affection. I truly appreciate everything Cora did for them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Amazing First Experience with Milton. Rexy Approved! 🐶❤️ We recently had our very first experience with Milton as our pet sitter, and WOW we are beyond impressed! 🙌🏼🐾 From the very start, Milton was kind, professional, and so warm with our pup Rexy 🐕💖. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby for the first time, but Milton made the whole process feel safe, smooth, and stress free 🧳😌. He took the time to get to know Rexy, followed all of our instructions perfectly 📝🍽️, and treated him with so much love and care 🥰🐾. We got adorable photo updates 📸🦴 and messages that truly put our minds at ease. It was clear that Rexy felt comfortable and happy the entire time 💆♂️🐶. Even after just one visit, Rexy was totally obsessed with Milton 😂🐕💞 tail wags, kisses, and all! You can tell Milton really loves animals and has a natural connection with them 🧡🐾. That kind of trust and heart means everything! We are so grateful to have found someone so reliable, kind, and caring 💫.

I received multiple updates daily including pics and videos of our puppy enjoying his time there. I would highly recommend Sheri and hopefully we can find time when he can stay again. He really seemed to enjoy his time there.”
“We loved Penelope Ann and her family. They were very caring and loving with our dog Max. Not only did they walk him and play w/him but their daughter had Max sleep with her. We loved they shared a bunch of pictures with us during all the time we were gone for our vacation. We will be using them again in our next outing”
“Joseph really did a great job taking care of our athletic and sometimes hard to handle dog. We received daily updates and pics during the stay.

“I was lucky enough to have booked Selena when the Hurricane came through. She checked on my animals but also checked the house thoroughly for anything that might have happened after Beryl. Selena is my go-to!!!”

I have experience with both a senior cat and a young cat, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and needs. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m happy to provide loving, reliable care. From feeding and refreshing water to cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving plenty of affection, I’ll treat your cat like one of my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind.
About: I have experience with animals since I could walk. In my personal life I would best describe my passion as a certified collector of strays (cats , dogs, birds and insects . The list is very long :) . In my professional experience I’m very exposed to the knowledge and unique design in caring for animals . STORY TIME : * ****I met a pit bull ****At the age of 17 I went to one of my first parties with my friend ( I was still very shy and reserved, but was looking to dismantle my comfort zone ). I had a bad time and unfortunately I was followed walking on my route and hoped to just make it back home in the same pieces that I came with lol . Anyways I approached a dark neighborhood on my path and only two streetlights worked and sarcastically I was excited to be walking under one the moment I locked eyes with THEE most Beautiful & intimidating Pit Bull I’d ever been blessed with eyes to see and a body to run that couldn’t move and was actually not breathing to well either 😅So I did what any rational human would in this situation and called her and told her to come here “sweetie” and she Bolted towards me … arms out stretched shaking in my wee lil boots I prayed lol and she jumped up on my shoulder and licked my face and I was at awe 🥹. She walked me home (2miles) and we actually got stopped by a couple who told me I have a beautiful dog and I explained she wasn’t mine and asked if they wanted to try and keep her but she never left my side . I’ve never felt so safe and happy all at once at 12 midnight imagine what love can do !!! I lived in that same area for three extra years and never seen her again . The End My professional experience consists of working side by side as an acting vet assistant where I learned to chip dogs , feed them medicine, clean kennels, walk them and feed them their food . I also worked as a canine coach where I oversaw 1-28 dogs at a time play with them talk to them prevent them from being in danger making it the best environment possible . I aspire to build my abundance in what I love and that’s more love the definition manifested in all creations especially ones with big beautiful baby eyes and youthful hearts Animals :) Hi I’m Ta Manda and I’m your PETS NEW BESTIE🦄❤️🎁!! ( so cheesy and I love it lol) I am currently invested in becoming independent, I am open to gaining more experience so other than Uber I’m all yours ❤️ please just reach out :) I love forming lasting bonds with the pets I care for and would be thrilled to stay connected and visit them even after my services are complete. I believe that doctor dolittle was inspired by Myself so honestly I do have conversations with them down to moths I believe they are listening and if you’re still enough you can tell they understand you .
“It was my first time using the app and was unsure a how it will go but I am so glad that I did use and found Kyla. She was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I didn’t have to worry about Fluffy. She sent detailed descriptions of her visits and sent regular updates. Spent extra time with Fluffy to make sure he felt comfortable around her. She managed to put a bandana around Fluffy’s neck which was a cute surprise when I got back. Thank you Kyla for being amazing. 10/10 will book her again next time I am traveling.”
About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.
About: I've been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, with a special love for large breed dogs and caring for orphaned or vulnerable animals. I currently have a Rottweiler and two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of providing pets with safe, loving, and reliable care. My professional experience began as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic, where I worked for over a year caring for dogs and cats, monitoring their health and behavior, administering medications as directed, and maintaining a clean, low-stress environment. I later had the opportunity to train as a professional dog groomer, and I quickly fell in love with the craft. I've now been grooming for over two years and currently work part-time as a groomer in a veterinary clinic. Working in a veterinary setting has given me experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic, senior, shy, or requires extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have hands-on experience caring for a variety of exotic and outdoor animals. Over the years, I've personally owned and cared for fish, birds, mice, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and pigs. If your family includes exotic pets, backyard animals, or small livestock, I'd be happy to discuss their specific care needs to see if I'm a good fit. I also have experience caring for orphaned neonatal animals, including tube feeding and providing around-the-clock supportive care when needed. If you're currently fostering orphaned babies or have special care requirements, feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can help. My goal is always to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.

I strive to provide care that goes above and beyond simply meeting their basic needs. whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I'll take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. because I work in the animal field, I'm familiar with recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health that could indicate something isn't right. while I'm not a veterinarian, I know what warning signs to watch for and will contact you immediately if I notice anything concerning. if an emergency arises, I'll remain calm, follow your instructions, and seek veterinary care if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and close attention to their individual needs. my goal is for you to feel completely confident that your beloved companion is in caring, capable hands while you're away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dinsmore
About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.
About: Hey y’all!! My husband and I are new empty-nesters, and have always had dogs in our lives. I speak dog, and having the experience of being a pet mom for so many years, I would love to take care of yours when you need it! I’m able to give them their medications if they’re following a treatment (I just don’t inject). So, if you need to travel, or just need some time off, bring your doggie to me! My two dogs are friendly and playful guys…yours will have a blast! I’m a writer, working on my books from home. I recently moved from Florida and got a new house with a fenced backyard that our own dogs enjoy and would love to share it! Even when I travel frequently (and use Rover pet services in TX as I used it while in FL), I am home everyday. I just save Sundays, and go to church. I have a fenced backyard, and 2 friendly dogs. When other dogs are in my home, I make them feel loved. My home is a quiet place with nice music that leds me to write. When having visitors, every exercise is done in the backyard! My dogs, sleep in their beds in the living room. I don’t have carpets and my place is a clean house. We are bilingual (including our dogs 😁).
“Milton did a great job taking care of our dog Dutch for day care. He has a great yard for him to run around and play and Dutch was very happy when we picked him up. We’d definitely bring him back again!”
About: Bruiser. A friendly paraplegic dachshund whose physical needs required his humans to find help at their home when they needed time away. Helping care for him blossomed my new love for pets of all sizes and medical conditions, outside of my work life in a veterinary clinic. I would love the chance to take above and beyond care of your fur-babies, from those that are healthy and active to the ones that need comfort and warmth during a difficult journey through life. I have over 17 years of work experience in the veterinary field in multiple positions. Communication and patient care are a few of my number one priorities, along with ensuring your routine is followed and expectations are met. Insulin administration, daily medications, extra walks, subcutaneous fluid administration; these are a few of the abundant needs that I am able to provide with ease and skill. In my home, I tolerate (with love of course) two of my own fur-babies. Yuca, a blue pitbull terrier, who is an active little girl, and Valentino, or just Tino, a black mixed rescue from BARC. Our home has a large yard and close parks for those that may need outdoor play time. I understand the stress of having to put your dogs and cats in a boarding facility, as I myself love going to National Parks with my family. I would be so honored if you would “paws time” and entrust me with your kids, knowing they are loved the same as when they are with you.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens and other birds my whole life, more than 40 years. I’m a retired teacher and empty nester and I’m home most of the time so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention! I’m retired so I’m home and available almost all of the time. I’d rather be at home with furry friends. They’ll get lots of love and attention with me. I have a large fenced yard and a one story house with wood floors. I’m an empty nester so it’s just me and my service dog at home. There’s no kids around just me and my sweet dog.
About: I have an exceptional talent in making each and every canine and feline feel happy and loved. They thrive under my care, and love individual attention and understanding. Pet care is second nature to me, and fits extremely well with my current lifestyle of working part time and living in a retirement community. Pets cared for in my home are well loved and get lots of attention. I walk dogs regularly, and am exceptional at playing with and caring for them. I am in the backyard with them whenever they go outside.
“It’s been a week since Layla was with Rowena. Just now I mentioned her name and Layla tore out of the room to look for her. When she couldn’t find her she started howling! I think it’s time for another visit! Thanks so much for loving Layla! She so clearly loves you back!”
About: Hi my name is Alan and my wife’s name is Valerie! I have become extremely enthusiastic about this app as it has given me the opportunity to meet and get to know new families, individuals and a few different dogs. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup and can’t wait to create a lasting relationship with everyone involved. My childhood growing up with my dogs i feel has given me a good amount of knowledge when it comes to walking, looking after, raising and potty training. My availability is a little spotty seeing as how I have a full time job but I love any and all dogs and I’m really hoping I can create new relationships with you and yours. I’m great with dogs and dogs are great with me. My wife is home everyday. And I will be home after 6pm. We are both home on weekends. Once she goes back to work after her maternity leave starting February 21, she will be home by 4pm. Valerie and I took a break from Rover for a while due to space issues but we just moved into our new house this past August 2022 and we are excited to provide a spacious home as well as a spacious fenced in backyard. We are also in a brand new community so it’s extra quiet here in our area.
About: Since I was a little girl I been around dogs. My brothers dad had a Rottweiler so growing up Tyson was always around us. As I got older either friends or family members had pets. Weather it was cats, guinea pigs, hamsters or fishes you name it. I love being around animals it’s so therapeutic and joyful to me. I am available for dog walking Monday-Friday hours btw 8am-8pm. Pet sitting at least a week in advance sometimes last minute is ok with me. I make sure they are fed have they water are taken out for the day twice maybe even three times of the day. If it’s nice out we can go to the park play run around hey active. If we are indoor I can still play and interact with your pet to make sure they are happy.
About: My name is Valerie! I have become extremely enthusiastic about this app as it has given me the opportunity to meet and get to know new families, individuals, and most importantly dogs. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup and can’t wait to create a lasting relationship with everyone involved! I feel like my childhood growing up with my dogs has given me a good amount of knowledge when it comes to walking, looking after, raising and potty training. I am a teacher and have always been very fond and connected to children so I feel like dogs aren’t very different from that for me! I love any and all dogs and I’m really hoping I can create new relationships with you and yours. I am currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to cater to and give your pet the attention it needs all day! I have a backyard with a fence so your pets can get the exercise they need or even some sunbathing in during the day. I have two fur babies of my own to keep your pets company as well.
“Day 1 was as much a blessing for me and my 4month goldendoodle! Grace quickly adapted and fell into okay rotation with the other fur friends before I dropped her snacks for the day! Ms. Angela’s gentle care, loving presence and professionalism gave me peace of mind for our first time apart! The video and picture updates made me smile!”
“Candace was amazing and kept me updated with photos and text messages. She always responded in a very timely manner. My dog loved her spacious property! Highly recommend, 10/10 first experience.”
About: Hi there, as a stay-at-home furry mom who works part-time and from home, I have ample time to play with and shower your fur baby with love, just like I do with mine. My partner also works from home, and my retired mom lives with us, so your baby will never be alone. There will always be someone in the same room with your baby, most likely sitting next to them. =) My animal experience: I’ve had dogs since elementary school and have never been without a canine companion since. Throughout high school and college, I expanded my pet care experience by babysitting various animals for church members, including dogs, rabbits, mini pigs, and birds. I also volunteered at the local animal’s shelter for 18 months when I was in my late twenties. I have had experience with puppies, senior dogs, and handicapped dogs in the past as well, so I am confident in my ability to care for them. Also, my partner is experienced in dog training and therapy work, and we currently share our home with two rescued Chihuahuas. We are both well versed in medication administration and wound care. Our top priority is to provide a safe and positive experience for your furry baby while you are away. We ensure a secure, clean, and organized environment where your pet will feel relaxed, happy, and protected. * For new Rover customers - please use promo code ANNEQ60631 for a sweet $20 discount! =) Meet and Greet/Pick-up and Drop-off: To ensure everyone’s safety, especially the fur babies, only one pet parent will be allowed inside the house at a time.

Please bring all the required documentation to the Meet and Greet* Drop-off time: Anytime after 9 am. Exceptions may be made in certain situations. Please inform me in advance. I have a spacious fenced yard where your fur baby can romp and play alongside my two friendly Chihuahuas if they like. There's also plenty of room inside the house for your baby to roam freely, just like mine. Your baby is welcome on the couch and in my bedroom. My retired mom will pitch in and shower your baby with love, attention, and care as well. She sleeps upstairs and can sleep with your baby if they prefer to be away from other dogs. *There are security cameras outside and inside the house, recording 24 hours a day to ensure everyone’s safety.*
“Jia is pawsome caregiver! My new puppy found a good friend - Jia's poodle and he became well behaved, I guess puppy learned good manners from Jia's poodle. I also was getting regular updates with pictures. I can highly recommend Jia's services for day care and boarding.”
“We can't thank Penelope enough for being such a marvelous host!!! Our puppy is quite timid/shy but got along to everybody in the family as well as got more comfortable with fellow fur babies in no time! Plenty of pictures / video clips were shared thrpughout the stay, top-notch communications! Puppy came home happy, no stress whatsoever! Our go-to for repeating for sure!”
“Judy helped me out on some last minute plans and took care of my old grumpy dog. I really appreciated her quick response to my request. He enjoyed sleeping in her house with the AC and ice cold water. He even enjoyed being with her other dogs. He did so good with her, I felt comfortable leaving him in her lovely home. Thank you Judy! This was a great first experience with the Rover app.”

I do have experience with diabetic dogs as my dog, Charlie, is diabetic. I have experience as well with handling high energy dogs like my dog, Angel, who is chihuahua and jack Russell terrier mix. I am currently unemployed, but live with my mom and take care of my sister, who is 17 years old, I drive her to school at 7 am and pick her up at 3:43 p.m. I am available between then and after 7 p.m. as I have to give my dog Charlie her insulin shots and scheduled feeding twice a day. On weekends I am available at 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and anytime after 7 p.m. I offer dog walking, over night watches, as well as general care for the dog(s) whether it be scheduled feedings, scheduled dog walks, scheduled medication, etc. Anything you are looking for specifically, let me know your schedule, your dog(s) schedule, what you are looking for and I will let you know if I can bring the care you are looking for.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for animals. While this is my first year on Rover, I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands. Im currently working on an online business where all I need is wifi and my laptop. Im also a college student looking to make some extra cash to pay off tuition. Both of these things I can do online anytime which leaves me for plenty downtime and study breaks I can spend with my furry friends! I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and have a safe and comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.
“Jeanette is AMAZING! She is such a great communicator! So sweet with my pup and just amazing over all! I couldn’t be happier with someone like her walking my pup! She is trust worthy, sweet, and kind.”
About: I love animals! Fur babies are a part of the family. My dog has been a big part of my life for the past 10+ years. He is my sidekick and 4 legged companion. I have a cat who is the princess of the house. I took her in as a kitten and nursed her back to health. I have spent many years pet sitting for family and friends. I enjoy spending time with pets, taking walks and playing. My hope is to one day become a dog trainer. I work full-time during the week. I have time to check on the pets before and after work, and on lunch break. Weekends are more flexible. I will come check in on the pets as needed. I will take the time to play with them. I will feed them as scheduled. I can take the pets for walks.
About: Depending on the owners request, I love to play and be in a dogs life and make them feel loved and safe. Your friend will be very safe! I have university classes throughout the week so I can manage Fridays Saturdays Sundays and Mondays! And I can put my full attention during those days! I look at a pets life like it’s the oweners child, I know how I would feel if something happend to my child, I put excessive care into these pets and am a great communicator!
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for many years and have also had the opportunity to care for pets belonging to friends and family.

“Bria was very good with my extremely nervous dogs. One of them actually let Bria pet her the first day, which has never happened before. It didn’t work out with our schedule and her work schedule, but I would happily have Bria walk my pups again.”
About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.

This was my second time using Rover and she responded quickly, said yes, and saved me a lot of hassle to try to figure out a plan B. She was so great with my husky and sent the best pics of her having fun. I will re book with her the next time I need a sitter. She was amazing.

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Amazing First Experience with Milton. Rexy Approved! 🐶❤️ We recently had our very first experience with Milton as our pet sitter, and WOW we are beyond impressed! 🙌🏼🐾 From the very start, Milton was kind, professional, and so warm with our pup Rexy 🐕💖. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby for the first time, but Milton made the whole process feel safe, smooth, and stress free 🧳😌. He took the time to get to know Rexy, followed all of our instructions perfectly 📝🍽️, and treated him with so much love and care 🥰🐾. We got adorable photo updates 📸🦴 and messages that truly put our minds at ease. It was clear that Rexy felt comfortable and happy the entire time 💆♂️🐶. Even after just one visit, Rexy was totally obsessed with Milton 😂🐕💞 tail wags, kisses, and all! You can tell Milton really loves animals and has a natural connection with them 🧡🐾. That kind of trust and heart means everything! We are so grateful to have found someone so reliable, kind, and caring 💫. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to call Milton again next time we need a sitter! THANK YOU, Milton, for taking such great care of our little Rexy! 🐕🛏️💕 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!!! 🎉🐾🦴💌📷🐶🐕✨”

“Sheri was a fantastic host and care taker for our pup. She brought our dog in like family and our dog could not get enough play time with her pup. I received multiple updates daily including pics and videos of our puppy enjoying his time there. I would highly recommend Sheri and hopefully we can find time when he can stay again. He really seemed to enjoy his time there.”
“Joseph really did a great job taking care of our athletic and sometimes hard to handle dog. We received daily updates and pics during the stay. I could tell my dog was relaxed and really did't get in a hurry to leave when I picked up. It was clear all his needs were met during the stay. Great place for pets to stay!”
“Sky was awesome with Milo. Very attentive and sent lots of updates during her time with him allowing my family and I to be at ease while being away from our little pup. Will definitely use her again”
“Adam and Danielle were super sweet and took our dog Mochi in like one of their own. I could tell they really cared and they also had great communication. They sent us pictures, videos, and updates throughout. It’s rare to see the entire family come greet you at drop off and pick up, and they were so welcoming and accommodating to Mochi. Would definitely rebook with them again, even if it means an hour+ drive.”
About: I’m 49 years old and have had the joy of caring for dogs throughout my life. I regularly babysit my neighbors’ dogs and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Because I work from home, I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog attention, companionship, and care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Their day will include plenty of playtime, activity, outdoor time, and lots of love, with a comfortable balance of fun and relaxation. When you’re away, I want you to feel completely confident that your dog is safe, secure, comfortable, and genuinely loved while they’re in my care. I have a small terrier of my own who loves having a friend to play with, so your pup can have a built-in companion if they enjoy socializing with other dogs. I also have a spacious backyard where dogs can safely play and relax, plus a dog park nearby for pups who enjoy getting out and exploring. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll take the time to learn what makes your dog feel at home—from their feeding schedule and favorite activities to their sleeping habits and any special instructions you provide. My goal is simple: to care for your dog the way I would want someone to care for mine. You’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and make sure we’re a great fit!
About: Owner and operator of Kyle K9 dog training services since 2016. I also have 35 years of experience caring for my own loving extended fur family. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pet in my home, take them for long walks, and possibly teach them a few new commands or tricks. I live in a smoke-free, dog-friendly environment with a fenced-in backyard and just a few minutes walk to the dog park or along the creek.
“Hillaury was amazing! She took a good care of my dog while we were away. She kept us updated with picture and helpful messages. My dog, Cat has a good time and enjoyed her vacation with Hillaury. Thank you very much!”
“Paulina did an amazing job taking care of my Yorkie while we were away for the weekend. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she truly cared for him, taking him on walks and making sure he was happy and well cared for. I came home to a happy pup, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Paulina and will definitely book with her again!”
“After I met Josh and saw his love for his own dogs. I had zero worries to leave my Daisy (who is very shy). Honestly, my only worry was I was afraid Daisy might not want to come home with us after getting so much love and attention. She did and that made me happy. But I had no worries to leave Daisy with Josh And go on vacation (and he sent me pictures often) and she was so happy. 100 recommend!”
