They both slept for almost a day straight after their stay and we received lots of pupdates with pictures and videos throughout the time they were there. I highly recommend and will absolutely book again if in the area!”

“I can’t praise Jason enough! This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone I didn’t know, and I was super scared. But from the moment I dropped her off I was at ease, Jason made me feel like she was going to be okay and be in a great place. I wasn’t ever worried about her while gone and he would constantly send me pictures of my baby. I will definitely be returning! If you are looking to send your pup to anyone, pick Jason! He treats your dog like his and gives them a comfortable place to live while you’re gone!”

About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals. For questions or wanting to schedule care, please reach out! As a teacher, I have the majority of summers off. I’ll be home each day looking for something to keep busy outside of caring for my kids. In previous jobs my responsibilities included taking care of 1-4 pets at a time (cats and dogs). I was asked to feed them and let them outside. On top of this I played with them, took them on walks, gave them treats and attention, and brushed them. I can take on any pet responsibilities you may need when out of the home.
“Maesynn was excellent doing drop-in visits for my young cat Jelly. We did a meet and greet between her and Jelly so they could meet before starting the visits. During my time, she provided details of kitty's behavior and overall well-being with the Rover report card and added pictures to complement. I would recommend her services and hope to again!”

About: Evey dog has a good dog inside of them. I love training and walking dogs, it is rewarding and healthy for everyone. Experienced in training puppies, leash ,and crate training. I work from home and walk the dogs daily, rain or shine. Their exercise is important for their physical and mental health. We do brain work "tricks and skills" before feeding to help exercise all aspects of the dog. I have a fully fenced yard with two other dogs to keep your pal company during their stay. Someone is home all day everyday to bring dogs in and out. All animals are crated for the night to keep night time no-no's at zero.
“They were great with my doggies. They took care of them as their own. It was nice to get updates. It was a peace of mind knowing Zoomie & Soda were in good hands. The dogs had good play time & taken on walks. They were nice & tired when they got home. I highly recommend Amanda & Cody, they welcomed my fur babies very well.”
“Oatmeal has the best time at Ashleens! She loves hanging out with miss Moxie and all the kiddos! Every morning when we make the turn she jumps with excitement to see her friends! I highly recommend Ashleen and so does Oatmeal!!!”
“Jessalyn is an awesome dog sitter. Our Cha-Cha bounded up the steps for days 2 & 3 so happy to see her and the kids. We got cute pictures of the day’s activities. Also, Jessalyn was flexible with times we needed. We WILL use her again. 😊”
“Debbie was amazing, one of my dogs gets nervous when we’re away and Debbie made sure to give him lots of love and also sent me tons of updates which was so appreciated! I highly recommend her and already plan on booking her for another stay!”

About: I grew up with 3 border collies in my home, so I’ve been helping with pet care for as long as I can remember. My husband and I adopted Penny, our sweet Australian Shepherd, two years ago and we have loved every second. I have never met a dog I didn’t love. I have often been told I have a knack for comforting anxious dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible during work hours. I often take my dog on a walk before work and in the evening after work. I’m flexible to leave work as needed and take dogs out as often as needed. I have a friendly Australian Shepherd who loves to play to keep your dog(s) company. My fur baby no longer uses her crate, so we have a crate that can be used for your dog when they visit if they like it. My husband is home in the evening after work to help with pet care.
“Could not recommend Sophonie enough! She took our very recently neutered puppy for day care and this paranoid dog mom could not have felt more comfortable! She is very communicative to ensure you stay in the loop, is flexible with timing, and goes above and beyond for your pup! Definitely will be booking again with her!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life, they bring me joy and I love to surround myself with them. I hold high regard and respect for furry and feathered creatures. I jump at the opportunity to care for friends' pets, and I'd like to open my home to your loved ones too and develop a relationship. I don't have any furry house friends of my own currently, but I do have a working 16 acre farm with a variety of small livestock, cats and birds. I love each and every one of them. I am well versed in basic medical care of animals. My latest diabetic cat lived with insulin shots twice a day for 3+ years. Pets that I sit can either roam around the farm with me as I work, or stay in my cozy house and receive regular visits throughout the day. Dogs tend to be thoroughly entertained with a big smile on their face. If allowed, your dogs will enjoy various pasture-raised, organic treats from the farm. I see a lot of benefits to dogs that get safe, controlled exposure to farm life and being around other species. I also enjoy taking dogs on hikes with me. I have trails close by where we can get additional exercise and exploration. Animals in my care get loads of attention, love and entertainment. I also have resident farm hands that love animals, offering extra social interaction and playtime. I work full time on my 16 acre regenerative farm. Pets in my care get loads of love and attention. More active dogs can roam around the farm with me, always close by with a ball or toy. Less active, retired, older pups can hang out in my home and receive regular visits throughout the day. They will never go long without love and interaction. My home is big and spacious with lots of lounging areas. The farm has some fenced areas, and generally dogs do fine hanging out close by, or as needed can stay on a leash or a cabled run nearby. I alao have a 10 x 16 fenced kennel run available. Pets are never left outside unattended, but get loads of outside time if desired. I also have daily farm hands that all love animals and love to play with them. Pups love farm life! Did I mention they will get pasture-raised organic lamb and turkey treats if their parents allow it?
“Rebeca and her family take such good care of my dog. She is always so excited when I drop her off with them. My dog loves playing with their dog Nico. They go on walks together and to the dog park. Itʻs nice to be away knowing that my dog is happy and comfortable.”
About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life. When I was younger our house was an animal shelter for many dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. I'd help my parents feed and water and clean up after them. I work part time so I have all day to care for your fur baby. I feed my dogs twice a day, once in the morning and again at dinner time. I feed them the correct amount so they can stay fit and healthy! I'd feed your dog under your direct preference. We enjoy walks especially to the park! I have a fenced in yard, 3 dogs to keep your fur baby entertain! I can easily crate your baby if needed! The dogs have free range of the back yard. I let them out multiple times a day!
“Katherine was great at keeping me in the loop, consistently sending photos of my pup playing with the others in her care. I can’t ask, but I’m sure if I could, my dog Cleo would say she had a great time (based on the photos). Would happily book with Katherine again in the future.”
About: I'm a dog mom of two, a Pyr-Malinois and Pyr-Akbash. I am also a dog trainer offering structured, reliable care while you are away. I work with everything from puppies learning obedience to anxious, high-energy, and behaviorally challenging dogs. I focus on calm handling, consistency, and maintaining routines so dogs stay stable—not stressed or out of control. Experience includes: Puppies (crate/potty training, basic obedience), Anxious or high-energy dogs, Senior dogs (medication and mobility needs), Low-stress care for spicy, shy or sensitive cats. *BOARDING IS CASE BY CASE, CURRENT CLIENTS, REFERRALS, OR BOARD AND TRAINS (pricing varies, reach out to discuss) *HOUSE SITTING is not over night pricing varies based on how long the visit/drop ins are More about me: I grew up with dogs and taking care of people's farms while they were away. I have trained professionally for 2 years with companies and have continued with my own clientele. Highly flexible schedule with open availability. Im able to accommodate consistent routines, extended stays, and last-minute bookings as needed! FYI I use house sitting for drop ins through the day as I can (not exactly scheduled times) I do not stay over night. I prioritize calm, structured, and safe care in your pet's own environment. I currently do not offer boarding/daycare to new clients. This ensures I can gice your pet my full attention without introducing unnecessary stress or environmental changes. In your home, I focus on: Maintaining your pet's routines Making sure the pets enjoy their day! Reinforcing good behavior, and preventing unwanted habits
About: My earliest memories are of playing with dogs. As an adult I love my kitties and will care for any furry, scaley or feathered friends. Every day I care for my dog and 4 cats. The trip to the nearby park is a routine where I find refuge. I have flexibility with my work schedule and can make most times fit. I have a fenced yard where pets can roam free without fear of antagonism or being set loose in the neighborhood. I give each memeber of the clan daily attention and individual care.
“This was our first experience leaving Sophie and we were very pleased. Heidi sent photos throughout the day. It was such a relief to know she was taken care of and having fun. We will definitely use her again when we're back in the area.”

About: Hi, I’m Maegyn – a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs! I grew up on a farm, where animals were a part of everyday life and caring for them came naturally. Over the years, I’ve raised and looked after a variety of animals, but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I currently have two rescue dogs and one rescue cat—they’re my world! My love for animals extends beyond my home. I regularly volunteer at the local animal shelter, helping with everything from walking dogs to comforting nervous pets and assisting with adoptions. Through this, I’ve gained experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments – including those with hyper activity and anxiety. Whether your pup needs a patient walking partner, a cuddle buddy, or someone to match their energy, I’m here to provide safe, loving care tailored to their unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet I meet like my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I’m a teacher with summers off, so my availability is wide open for pet care—perfect for consistent, flexible scheduling and plenty of attention for your pets! My active lifestyle keeps dogs happy and exercised, while my calm, loving care helps them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home—even when you’re away.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I have always had cats and dogs since I can remember. When i was 16 I started volunteering at the animal hospital and have done it ever since. I have owned and fostered special needs, elderly and brand new. I can administer meds, help on potty breaks, feed, bathe and play! I work as a realtor and part time dietitian, mostly remotely! I’m very flexible and mostly home! I only leave to show homes or take my kids to school/ activities. I have a fenced yard. A friendly deaf Maltese poodle, a sweet Siberian cat who loves all walks of life. And 2 daughters who LOVE helping and playing with animals. My husband loves them too!
“Kiana has been a genuine gift to our family. We started with her about six months ago for our 14-year-old miniature schnauzer/French bulldog mix, Lucy — and over that time she became so much more than a dog walker. As Lucy’s health declined, Kiana adapted without hesitation — adjusting pace, duration, and handling — and never made us feel like we were asking too much. What stands out most is how much she genuinely cared. You can tell the difference between someone who likes dogs and someone who sees your dog. Kiana saw Lucy. She was patient with her on the slow days, gentle when Lucy needed it most, and flexible with our schedules in ways that took real stress off our family during a really hard season. We’re grateful as a family for every walk she gave our girl. If you have a senior dog or one with changing needs, Kiana is exactly who you want in your corner.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. They’ve grown with me and I’ve grown with them. I’ve trained many dogs and pups of all kind! Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to add the experience of my wonderful kitty. He has been such a joy and light in my life, and I hope to treat your pets with that same joy! Usually I feed my two pups and walk them daily. I make sure they’re groomed once a day (brushing, etc) and play with them or cuddle them constantly! I have a fenced yard and two dogs. They love people and playing. When I head upstairs into my living room in the morning it’s filled with tummy rubs and kisses as well as treats!
About: I’ve taken care of small animals(hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, etc), reptiles, dogs and cats since 2007, I am an animal lover who has a veterinary assistant certification. All animals welcome(even if they don’t show an option, reach out if you have hamsters/gerbils/mice/rats/birds/reptiles I am on admin leave from the IRS because of the RIFs. I am available any time for walks and pet sitting. Any schedule is fine If my client has a fenced in yard, I’ll let pets out into the yard play with them outside, cleaning up as needed. If no fenced in yard a long walk to make sure they have their exercise based on what each dog is willing and able to do.

About: My wife and I have been doing rover now for about 3 years already. She has a rover account, and we’d be happy to take care of your pups. There’s very little we can’t or won’t do to accommodate any need you make have from drop off to pick-up let us know. We love animals and I think there no better way to make some additional income then to share our home with your fur babies. Also if I need to come to your home I’m happy to make them as comfortable at home the way you do as possible, until you get back. I’m always aware plans change if I need to watch them longer, or we need to adjust pick-up and drop off times that will never be a problem. We joke that we let the dogs out let the dogs in and then it’s time, to do it all over again :-) we are called all the dogs, because we want all the dogs. We have a fully fenced yard, and 3 fur babies for your pets to have play with. We also have an industrial awesome dog pool for them to play in the water or to just use as a big dish :-)

About: I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a kid. I love providing that extra care pets need when life gets too busy. :) I am currently working from home so I am very flexible. My work is also very passive so I have plenty of time to provide undivided attention to your pet! I prefer to set up a meeting prior to care if at all possible to make sure your pet is comfortable. I am also very good at following detailed care instructions for your pet.
About: I’ve fostered 5 different dogs from the Humane Society of Utah (3 wks - 2 mo each). I was responsible for feeding, exercising, administering meds, and providing water for the dogs. I volunteered for Second Chance for Homeless Pets, where I cleaned kennels, fed animals, completed simple cleaning tasks, & bathed a dog. I cometed 4 semesters of the vet tech program at Broadview University, where I learned about proper veterinary care, including administering meds, making general health assessments, walking dogs, cleaning kennels/clinic/classrooms, etc. During this time, I completed a preceptorship at Sugarhouse Veterinary Hospital, where I was able to sit in on a surgery. I worked as a vet tech at Banfield Pet Hospital for 3 months. I also worked at The City Pet Club Dog Daycare & Boarding facility and I’ve been dog sitting for the past 6 years. I have my own all natural dog treats and dog shampoo and a defurminator deshedding brush tool. I currently work from home and am very flexible and mobile for the purpose of taking care of your fur babies. I love all animals and would be privileged to watch yours. Water, food, treats, baths, walks, hiking, runs, dog park visits, dog pool visits, ball/toys, able to administer meds and address wounds, etc. I am a very good dog masseuse. Haha
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, including senior pets who require extra attention and medical care. I have experience administering medications, including injections for diabetic dogs, and I’ve also cared for birds. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love bonding with animals. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your pets will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. At the same time, I’m very attentive to their individual needs—whether that’s high energy activities or gentle, calm care for older pets. I’m also extremely responsible and respectful of your home. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for both their pets and their houses, and I always make sure to leave everything even better than I found it. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! Right now, since it’s summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. I rehearse for a show for only a few hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can also accommodate overnight stays whenever needed. My schedule is very flexible outside of rehearsals, so I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s routine and specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide—to keep them happy and stress-free. I also ensure medications are given safely and on schedule when needed. I treat your home with care, keeping it clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, so pets feel happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel loved and well cared for!
About: I have been caring for pets since age 13, anything from watching my neighbors dogs to working at a vet clinic!!

“Jason is always up for taking care of our dogs and he is so great with them. He taught me a few tricks and honestly my larger dog is always so well behaved when we pick him up. He trains dogs as a hobby and is awesome at it! He is always flexible with pickup and drop off which I usually need and its so helpful. We have booked multiple times and we will keep coming back. Thanks Jason!”
