“Barbara (Lynn) was open and friendly, she asked if it was okay to give Tobie a home-made treat. We talked about Tobie's routine and health so that there would be no surprises. I asked if she'd please bathe Tobie since Tobie had been in the desert in the dirt for a few days. Lynn obliged and sent a short video of Tobie celebrating with a race around the back yard. I appreciated the fact that the back yard was walled in so Tobie (who is an escape artist) couldn't see out and plan an escape. It was clear that Tobie was very happy there.”

“What truly sets Caitlin apart is the genuine affection and care she and her son showered upon our furry friend. It was heartwarming to see how quickly our dog formed a bond with them. Their genuine love for animals was evident in the way they interacted with our dog, providing him not only with physical care but also with emotional support. The updates and photos we received during his stay were not just reassuring but also a testament to the joy and happiness he experienced every day. Perhaps the most telling sign of a positive experience was our dog's excitement every time we dropped him off. His tail would wag furiously, and he would eagerly bound towards our dog sitter and her son, a clear indication of the warm and welcoming environment they created. This level of enthusiasm speaks volumes about the genuine affection and attention our dog received in their care. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a dedicated and loving dog sitter. The flexibility she offered, coupled with the evident passion for animals, created an environment where our dog felt at home.”

Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as a Belgian Malinois owner. My days are structured around exercise, walks, playtime, training, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and engaged. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs and giving them consistent attention. Caring for dogs naturally fits into my schedule and lifestyle especially during the summer months while not in school. -When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications if needed, and maintaining a familiar environment to reduce stress. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. -When on walks, I prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort while keeping walks controlled and enjoyable. I avoid unsafe situations, stay aware of surroundings, and make sure dogs get both physical exercise and mental stimulation while feeling secure and cared for.
About: Hi! I'm Lina, a passionate and reliable pet care provider with 14 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes.

I'm trained in basic pet first aid, understand animal behavior, and specialize in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furry (or feathered!) companions. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’m currently not working a traditional 9–5 job. That means I have the flexibility and time to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve—whether that’s midday walks, extended cuddle sessions, or being available for last-minute needs. Your pet won’t just be another stop in a busy day—they’ll be my priority. I respect your home and keep your pets safe by sticking to routines, keeping their space tidy, and staying in communication. I also will make them love me.

My schedule is consistent, so I’m able to plan pet care around work and other responsibilities while making sure each pet gets the care and companionship they need. I provide attentive, loving care based on each pet’s normal routine and individual needs. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also follow any specific feeding, medication, crate, or household instructions provided by the owner and keep the space clean, safe, and comfortable.
About: My husband Rusty and I have grown up with dogs our whole life! We have two dogs of my own now who are our ENTIRE world! We have met amazing dog sitters on rover that have helped our family out tremendously and we would love to do that for others as well! We have done plenty of dog sitting, walking, etc. with friends fur babies and it is always so much fun to meet other dogs and get to know their little personalities! I am currently taking a break from nursing contracts right now. I have a lot of flexibility. Please reach out as I’d love to meet your fur baby and help out in ANY way I can! My dogs and I love to go on long walks outside and after we are nice and tired come inside and cuddle or play some more! I know that it can be a little bit nerve racking to trust others with your fur babies- we are the same way! Our goal is to make you feel totally comfortable letting us care for your animals and caring for them exactly how you would want! :) We would also be open to having a play date with our two dogs too if that is something you would want and be comfortable with. Our dogs get along with all dogs and cats and love to play!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 7. I grew up on land with dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have experience with all kinds of breeds, size, behaviors, and speciality needs for dogs. I have cared for dogs as young as 2 weeks and as old as 16 years. I treat every fur baby as my own 💕 I’d be happy to care for your baby! I am available at anytime and any day needed for walks/check-ins/etc as I work for myself and have an open schedule. A “1” day heads-up is required for overnight stay. I have a LARGE fenced yard that is perfect for dogs to run and play. I have 2 dogs that are super sweet and dog friendly. I can crate your dog if needed and make sure they have any toys/blankets/water/etc you may want them to have while crated. I allow dogs on my furniture so I don’t mind yours on my bed or couch. If you do not allow dogs on furniture I will make sure that rule is in place and not allow them to do so. Again, your pet will be treated as my own so safety, love, and cuddles are priority!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds for 16+ years. I’ve personally rehabilitated various animals and am very patient and understanding. Let me know how I can help! I work remotely so I am available every morning and afternoon. I am flexible and able to work with your schedule. My evening can be busy but I’m willing to make that work as well. I have a fenced in yard on 12 acres which are taken care of with no farm animals besides cooped chickens. I have space for all the needs that come with pet sitting.
About: Hey hey! My love for animals runs deep. Growing up, my family always had animals. We had rabbits, dogs, cats, and horses. Professionally, I have taken care of dogs and cats since high school. As a tree hugger through and through, your fur babies will be loved, adored, and showered with tons of attention. I would love the opportunity to walk your fur babies, stay with them while you’re away, or simply check on them during the day. I know how important our fur babies are to us, and for this reason, I promise and guarantee to treat yours as if they are my own. I will provide pictures and videos of my time with your babies! Also, please note that I do NOT require crate training or anything of that nature. I want your fur baby’s time away from you to be as close to their normal routine as possible. While I have two puppies of my own (Wren and Quill), they have the most fantastic grandma who loves to watch and snuggle them while I housesit for you! :) I am in my final semester of graduate school, which means I have ample time to spend with your animals. I prefer to housesit instead of drop-ins. Typically, with housesitting, your pets are more comfortable! I am a graduate student and work part-time; therefore, I can fit your perfect fur babies into my schedule at any time. I have open availability and would love the chance to get some animal snuggles in. Safety is my top priority! I will carefully follow your instructions and will diligently ensure your baby is safe while in my care. This is a promise!

Raider says that’s a good thing. I have always been a stay at home mom. I am now an empty nester except for my dog Raider. I would be home most of the time with maybe the exception of errands here and there. I have a 4ft fenced yard with a pool for the dogs if they like to swim. They might prefer to be inside In the ac when it’s hot or heat when it’s cold and they will have plenty of room to roam around.

About: We are a professional, appointment only boarding facility, not in home couch care. This is a premium boarding facility that operates under the roof of our home and is not separated, allowing for constant supervision and hands on care in a calm, structured environment. We are proficient in administering medications and providing advanced care such as IV fluids when needed. We have worked extensively with puppies and senior dogs alike, reinforcing crate routines, basic manners, and age-appropriate structure for young dogs, while providing a slower pace, comfort focused routines and attentive support for older dogs. Our facility features automatic water systems, spacious private rooms, and we provide dog beds and bowls for every stay if needed. Dogs enjoy outdoor time in a large, fully fenced group play yard with real grass and an 8 foot wooden privacy fence, as well as a separate, spacious vinyl fenced private yard with turf for one on one or low stimulus play. We prioritize safety, cleanliness, routine, and peace of mind for owners. We have a setup that allows your baby to be comfortable, calm and ready for their next stay with us! Pet care is built directly into our daily and weekly routine. Because our boarding facility operates under the roof of our home, dogs are part of our day from morning to night, not checked in on between errands. Each day follows a consistent structure that includes supervised potty breaks, outdoor play or private yard time, feeding, cleaning, and rest periods. Dogs are visually checked on frequently throughout the day, and we adjust routines based on age, energy level, and individual needs. Puppies receive more frequent breaks and guidance, while senior dogs are given a calmer pace and extra comfort. Weekly routines include deep cleaning of rooms and yards, ongoing monitoring of behavior and health, and maintaining a calm, low stress environment. Because this is not a side gig or drop-in service, care is hands-on, intentional, and continuous. Dogs are never left unattended for long stretches, and their safety and well being are part of our everyday life. We care for pets exclusively at our boarding facility, which operates under the roof of our home and is not separated. This allows for constant supervision and hands on care throughout the day and evening. Dogs follow a structured daily routine that includes feeding, supervised outdoor time, rest periods, and frequent check ins. We provide spacious private rooms, dog beds, bowls, automatic water systems, and maintain a clean, calm environment at all times. Outdoor time includes both group play in a large, real grass yard with an 8-foot wooden privacy fence and private yard time in a spacious vinyl fenced turf area, depending on each dog’s temperament and needs. We have extensive experience caring for puppies and senior dogs and are proficient in administering medications and advanced care such as IV fluids when needed. All dogs are temperament screened prior to boarding to ensure safety and reduce stress. Care is individualized, groups are kept small, and routines are adjusted to best support each dog’s comfort, health, and well being.
