About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, literally since the day I was born. My experience spans dogs, cats, birds, horses, donkeys, goats, and rabbits, giving me a deep understanding of animals with very different personalities, needs, and routines. I began fostering animals at 12 years old alongside my mom, helping care for them and place them into loving forever homes. My first job was as an in home pet sitter, and I immediately fell in love with providing animals the consistent care, attention, and comfort they need while their families are away. For over 10 years, I managed a farm, which taught me how to confidently handle multiple animals at once, follow detailed care routines, and stay calm, observant, and organized in dynamic environments. While I have years of hands on experience, my love and respect for animals has always come first. As a pet parent myself, I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Because of that, I’m intentional about clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently working remote so my schedule always is very flexible. I can provide multiple potty breaks through out the day and I also enjoy taking pets on a mid day walk. I have a fenced in yard, two friendly dogs and a quiet neighborhood perfect for our daily walks. Crating is also available per your request.

“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was scrolling looking for someone I just got a great feeling about her I made the perfect Choice. I was away on a birthday trip 7 days, and she took incredible care of my cat, Arrow, the entire time. She kept in touch with me every day, sending updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She made sure Arrow was well cared for, played with him, scooped his litter box, and even took the litter outside afterward to make sure my apartment stayed fresh which was great to come home to. She also took the time to let him drink from the faucet his absolute favorite thing! which showed me that she really paid attention to his personality and routines. On top of taking such great care of Arrow, Amber went above and beyond by bringing my trash can in and even putting my birthday flowers inside the house and in fridge to keep them fresh for me 🥹 It’s clear that Amber genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own.

About: Animal lover with years of experience raising and training dogs. We live on a small farm with plenty of room to play safely with a large 2 acre fully fenced yard. Though pets stay mostly indoor. I can provide lots of attention, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I am familiar with administering medications including injectables as I’ve had a pet with diabetes. No matter what your pet may need, I will provide care to the best of my ability I have a work from home job and am almost always available. We usually do outside potty breaks every few hours which are monitored from the porch. Pets are never left alone unsupervised simply to make sure everyone is taken care of correctly. Pets in my care are treated like part of the family. They stay indoors with me for most of the day and are always supervised when outside. Our property has plenty of fenced space for safe play and exercise, and I’m very hands-on with the animals I care for. When a new pet arrives, I take time to do slow, calm introductions and make sure everyone feels comfortable. If any pet needs their own space, I have plenty of room to safely separate animals as needed. I’m experienced with dogs who may feel anxious in new environments and work to keep routines calm and positive so they can relax.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs in the home and became the local animal care taker. From horses, to cats, to chickens and dogs I did it all. I then moved on to have 4 children and excited to show them what it looks like to care for animals of all types! I have a heart for taking care of the ones around me and would love to care for your animal as if they were my own. I have cared for puppies and kittens and took care of my own dog as she grew old and eventual passed. We only board one families dogs at a time to be able to give the best care possible. We are a homeschooling family and would love to use this as a time to get out and walk and spend some time loving on animals as we havent been able to get one of our own yet. We have a daughter who dedicate every waking moment to any animal we care for! We have a large yard to run and play and if we are at your home or ours we will follow any instructions to make sure your loved one is well cared for.
About: I have a home with 4 dogs! I have a Staffordshire terrier, Pyrenees pit, Border Collie/ Pyrenees and a Labrador, so I have lots of experience with dogs of different breeds and needs. I have always grown up around dogs and have experience caring for them in all stages of their life. I am a teacher, so I have the entire summer off! I can dedicate entire days to taking care of your pups. I dedicate hours each day taking care of my own, prioritizing exercise. I have a fenced yard and a completely dog-safe home. My dogs are treated as family! I allow them on furniture and ensure that nothing is out that could harm them. I also have 3 crates in the home, in case your baby needs a safe place to go!
“Awesome patience with Moose. Moose tends to jump around and get so overly excited it’s hard to leash or calm him to get going. My husband and I highly recommend Tyler as someone who can handle any size dog.”
About: My name is Lydia and I provide boarding, drop-ins, walks, and doggy daycare in a safe, loving, home-style environment where your dog will be treated like family. I’m home full time, so pets are rarely left alone and get lots of attention, supervision, cuddles, outdoor time, and play throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play, along with a separate dog room for a calm and comfortable space to relax. I also have two large kennels available in our air-conditioned garage for dogs who prefer more space or a quieter setup. I love dogs of all ages and have experience caring for playful puppies, including potty training and routines, as well as senior dogs who may need extra patience, gentle care, or more frequent potty breaks. While I’m newer to Rover and have only had a handful of clients here so far, I’ve built a strong reputation on Wag with a 5-star rating, 85 reviews, 91 completed services, and many repeat clients.

I am very flexible with my schedule and always aim to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I know how important consistency is, and keeping their usual schedule helps reduce stress and makes them feel more comfortable while you’re away. Whether that means specific feeding times, walks, playtime, crate routines, or bedtime habits, I will do my best to match what they’re used to at home. Since I am an online college student and stay at home mom to my toddler and home full-time, I’m able to adjust my day around your pet’s needs, by providing frequent potty breaks, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor play, and I always supervise pets while they’re outside. Inside, I make sure all pets have a comfortable space to rest and adjust at their own pace. I can separate dogs if needed and always pay close attention to their behavior to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. I am very attentive and experienced with dogs of all ages and energy levels—from young puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and patience. I also have experience handling feeding routines, administering medications with clear instructions, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will respect your space and follow all instructions closely to keep your pet on their normal routine. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while providing reliable, loving care.

About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pup in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where you can feel completely at ease. I offer a smoke-free home with a spacious yard where your dog can explore, play, and relax comfortably. I’m a proud dog mom to two very sweet pups — Thor, my 3-year-old labradoodle and gentle giant, and Bowzer, my 10-year-old cockapoo couch potato. Thor is playful, crate-trained, and almost always carrying one of his toys around. Bowzer is calm, affectionate, and happiest curled up on the couch — and yes, I do allow pups on the couch 😊 Bowzy loves sharing his spot, and Thor is usually nearby with his toys and ready for cuddles. I believe communication is key, especially when your dog is in someone else’s care. During your pup’s stay, I’ll send regular updates along with photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. This allows your pup to acclimate calmly with my dogs and ensures they receive my full attention. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and cozy stay. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pup! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days with limited hours, so I have a later start to my mornings and am typically home by 5pm. This allows for consistent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Our mornings begin with a potty break in the yard followed by breakfast. In the evenings, the pups have dinner and we wind down with playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or cozy couch time. If your pup follows a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule, I’m more than happy to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a calm, smoke-free home with plenty of indoor space and a yard for dogs to safely explore and play. We also enjoy neighborhood walks for extra exercise and fresh air. Thor is crate-trained and comfortable sleeping in his crate at night. Bowzer usually sleeps in his own bed or near me. I always follow what makes each dog feel most secure. If your pup prefers to be crated, sleeps in their own bed, or is used to sleeping near their people, I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine. If your dog requires a crate during their stay, I kindly ask that you provide their crate so they have something familiar and comfortable from home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. I’ve found that dogs adjust best in a calm environment where they can acclimate at their own pace without the stress of multiple unfamiliar dogs. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and care.
