“Coco had an amazing time with Shannon during our 4-day stay! I was pleasantly surprised to receive a same-day update when I dropped him off, and Shannon continued sending daily updates, pictures, and videos of Coco playing with her dogs throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated her responsiveness and the genuine care she showed for my puppy. I would absolutely book with Shannon again!”
“Awesome family! So kind and loving. Our Miso got lots of exercise from their family dogs too! Theresa was so flexible with the timing of our drop off and pick up, made our trip much less stressful! Thank you! Will definitely use you in the future.”
“Shawn was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My pups were very comfortable and happy during their stay. I would choose Shawn every time to watch my pups, they had an amazing time! I didn’t have to worry about my dogs once while they were in Shawn’s care!”
“Brew absolutely loved being at Marahs, he didn’t wanna leave! I’m so thankful for the convenience and reassurance that my baby was going to a safe place, I won’t be taking him anywhere else! Thank you Marah!”
“My Shitzhu twins spent their first stay with John. I could not have asked for a better caregiver. John gave regular updates, spent quality time with the dogs, and provided absolutely first-class care, as good or better than if they were at home. They will definitely be visiting John again.”
“Rebecca is an amazing dog sitter and I highly recommend her! I have an elderly dog who needs medication and she took such great care of him. She was so gentle with him and kind. She took a ton of pictures of him to keep me updated and always responded back to me very quickly. I will definitely contact her again for pup sitting and will recommend her to friends and family. Thank you so much Rebecca! 🥰💗”
“13/10 recommene!! Kaitie and her family took a good care of my baby girl. They are very flexible of drop off/pick up time and allow your pup to sleep with them in bed at nights. Multiple pics were sent each day. She is super sweet!! Will definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Donna was highly recommended to us by some friends and she took excellent care of our dog Malcolm while we went out of town for a wedding. She gave him endless attention which was evident when we picked him up and he made himself comfortable on her lap! She sent us pictures and videos so we knew he was in good hands, and even took him to the park and for plenty of walks. We highly recommend Donna to anyone!!”
About: I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always follow feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention so every dog feels at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and last-minute bookings whenever possible I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks for exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow the pet’s normal feeding schedule and routines. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away.
About: The house my parents moved into when I was only 4 weeks old was unfortunately a dumping ground for unwanted animals. Before I could even walk, I was cuddling with any animal that showed up at our door. This instilled a passion within me that I can finally turn into a profession. From Rescue and fostering to training dogs and showing horses, animals have always been a huge part of my life. In addition to my Management degree, I have an Associate of Science Degree with a major in Animal Science and a specialization in Agriculture. I completed an AKC handlers’ course which focused on reading your dog’s body language to understand their needs. Being so heavily involved in rescue, I have history and experience in dealing with reactive and/or selective dogs. I have many safety features depending on the animals needs including crates, double hung baby gates and 6 ft chain link fence that is separated into two yards. I also offer pet waste removal services. Feel free to send me a note if you have any questions. After a successful 25year business management career, I am now turning my lifetime passion of animal care into a profession. This year I started up my own business, "G'MA DOES". I offer a range of services from dog walking and pet sitting to animal waste removal. I like to stay active! While I have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge from multiple trainers, what I hold most dear is the ongoing information I take in from animal behaviorists such as Cesar Millan. Remember, when you first meet a strange dog practice NO TOUCH, NO TALK, NO EYE CONTACT! *LICENSED AND INSURED* In my house we call it "FURniture" for a reason. I use the "crate and rotate" regimen as needed and for feeding. I also have baby gates at every doorway. My entire backyard is a 6 ft chain length fence and I have it separated into two secured areas for exercise. Inside, one room is a dedicated cat room for litterboxes toys etc. The other two bedrooms will be dedicated safe spaces used for play, overnight stays, or whatever the situation calls for.
About: I’ve had dogs, usually multiple ones, living with me for my entire life. I just so enjoy being with them and I have a very flexible work schedule so I can always help take care of your furry friend! I work from home and can always set my own schedule so I can be available almost anytime. I will make it a priority to take care of your dog. I have a pig named Beaker living with me and he has a wonderful personality and lives all other dogs. I’ll happily follow any directions you have for your baby and live to play with dogs in any fashion.
“Ashley is absolutely amazing! She is so kind, easy to work with, and loves dogs. Ashley made sure to send us pictures of our dog while we were away, and my dog was genuinely smiling and happy to be there! We appreciated the huge backyard, too. Definitely recommend using Ashley and we will be rebooking again!”
“I came home to a happy dog! I know having my energetic lab for a rainy weekend was not easy. I appreciate the flexibility with drop-off and pickup times and I love her way with animals. I'll be a lot less uneasy about leaving my pup after this good experience.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”
“I highly recommend Megan!!!! Megan did an amazing job with our dog and cat. She stayed with them at our house for a long weekend while we went out of town. She is incredibly sweet and our fur babies really liked her.”
“Michele and her wonderful daughter took such good care of my little one. They sent pictures daily to show she was doing well and she was available for questions. It put me at ease knowing my sweet dog was safe and loved while I was away!”

She stayed the entirety of the scheduled time each day. She’s nice and very easy to work with. I trust her with my fur babies completely.”
“Cindy was fantastic! From being extremely patient navigating an issue with Rover displaying her rate correctly, to accomodating our last minute request, to calling a locksmith (per my request) when the key we left her didn't work, to helping when we had a leak in our basement, she consistently went above and beyond. Not to mention buying food for our cat when she couldn't get into the house and being so good to him and sending several pictures every visit. We were beyond thrilled with her service and absolutely plan on hiring her again!”

“Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.”

“Our previous sitter told me they are moving, which prompted me to search for a new sitter. I decided to try Rebecca, and am I glad I did! I was happy with our first sitter, but LuLu spent her time there just sniffing their yard and snuggling up on the couch with the sitter. She barely ate and wouldn't play with their dog. It was such a delight to see how happy LuLu was at Rebecca's place. She ran around the yard like I haven't seen her do since she was a puppy. When Rebecca thought LuLu needed a rest and brought her inside, LuLu whined to go back out, so out she went for more running around! Finally, she took a nap on the couch, then got up and ate all of her dinner. Then she settled down chewing on her toy until we came back for her. She was happy to see us, but gave Rebecca a tail wag when they said goodbye. I'm so glad LuLu found a place where she can thrive when we're gone. Now I won't hesitate to book a vacation! Rebecca was very attentive to the history I gave her about LuLu and my instructions about her routine and fears. We did a Meet & Greet on short notice, and Rebecca showed LuLu and me her back yard and inside her house. She assured me that she would never give LuLu an opportunity to run away. The way Rebecca gave me updates all day long assured me that LuLu was being well cared for and was having a great time. Rebecca is definitely Lulu's new sitter. I couldn't be happier with her care.”
“I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter. Marah will love your dog as if it was her own and I feel so comfortable dropping my pup off at her place. She is a gem of a person!”
“We could not have asked for a better experience with Kimberly! She’s communicative and flexible, and Wilson is happy and tired after a fun day of playing! We look forward to many more fun days for Wilson with her!”
About: You can trust your pup with me! My love for dogs and animals started when I was a child and has grown into a deep bond and genuine care for every dog I meet. I truly go above and beyond when it comes to pet care — and in my book, a little spoiling is always included. ;) I’ve had decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs since 2004, from training my first Mini Schnauzer, Ally, as a puppy to providing specialized senior care as she got older. In 2009, my husband and I rescued our first senior Schnauzer, Smokey, and cared for him through several medical issues including seizures, gastroenteritis, and inner ear infections. I’m extremely attentive to a dog’s needs, personality, comfort, and safety, and I always stay alert to make sure they’re happy, secure, and out of trouble. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I would care for your dog like one of my own. *Please note: I can only accommodate dogs up to 15 lbs. Requests above this size will be declined. Please do not request bookings for larger dogs. I’m a stay-at-home pet parent, which allows me to give my full attention and care to both my own dog and the pets staying with me. At our home, pets are treated like family and will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, but dogs will always be supervised while outside. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, routines, and needs to help them feel safe and relaxed while away from home. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentiveness, especially for senior dogs or pets with special needs.

About: I began volunteering at my local animal shelter at the age of 9 and have been caring for animals ever since. I have 20 years experience pet sitting for neighbors and I have my own 6 year old pitbull, Cleo, so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs. I’m a teacher, so my summers give me full flexibility to care for your animals! I love to walk dogs on local greenways and trails. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can play.

“Shelby kindly accepted our last-minute request for a half-day daycare and took great care of Sancho. He seemed to have a wonderful time, and Shelby kept us updated with a photo. Thank you so much, Shelby!”
About: I've had a 91 lb labradoodle from puppy to now for about 4 years. I've also been told that my cat adopted me about 1.5 years ago. My dog is a happy go lucky guy who's never met a person or animal he didn't like. My cat is about 15 years old and requires injectable medication twice a day, so nothing scares me when it comes to medication. I've taken care of the odd African Grey Parrot from time to time as well. I take my dog out every morning, lunch time and several times in the evening for walks and play. Our cat needs medicine twice a day that requires an injection so I'm well versed in providing medication and taking care of animals with special needs. There's a giant pop up blocking what this field is meant to say but it's saying I have to fill it in, perhaps I can update it later when the pop up is gone.
“Kaleb took great care of Presley while I went away for the day! I received pictures and videos throughout his stay, which was greatly appreciated! Presley had so much fun playing with Kaleb’s pups, he is worn out! Thank you for taking great care of my baby!!! We will be coming back!”

“Jessika is wonderful! She genuinely loves my dog and he is always excited to see her. I always get lots of pictures and details. Even though it’s just a 30 minute walk, I appreciate the extra effort. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Eve has been beyond helpful with my two pups, really going above and beyond by sharing extra knowledge re: my puppy's recurring UTIs, sending me pictures of their poop when I requested due to my pup having loose stool, etc. She even added a walk at the last minute for me! Her knowledge, experience, and passion are obvious, and I highly recommend her!”
“Kim has walked my anxious, medically-complex rescue dog multiple times a week for the past year. She does an awesome job with him and is always cheerful, professional, prompt and accommodating. I am very picky about who takes care of him because of all his issues and I feel so much better having Kim there to take care of my little guy.”
“Kiera is a great dog walker - friendly, responsible, dependable. She took great care of my pooch on a long day of work and sent an update with a cute photo. Recommended!”
“Cindy made my pupper's first time with a Rover Professional easy and enjoyable. He's a gluten for attention and she was more than happy to provide him with all the attention and affection that he could take. A spectacular first impression for the services provided. 10/10 Would recommend.”
About: Aside from having a dog in my family my whole life, I've taken care of many dogs over the years. From my neighbor's golden retriever in high school (who I would sneak over to play with when she was out in the yard) to a few dogs in my neighborhood now, I love to get to know the dogs that I help take care of. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting, both in my home and visiting the dog's home. I'm also happy to provide baths and other special care as needed. As a stay at home dad, I have a flexible schedule and can provide a lot of attention for dogs visiting our home, as well as work in a daily walk if that's part of their normal routine. We have a large fenced yard that your dog can enjoy. We've had a variety of dogs stay with us either with or without crates and we can create separate areas with gates if necessary. If your dog stays with us, I have a flexible schedule to provide a lot of attention and with a family of 5 there's always someone around to play with, pet, or sit with your dog. Our friendly beagle is always happy to have a new friend to play with and he's more than willing to share our daily walks around the neighborhood with another friend.
“Zoe was great! She was always on-schedule and was very patient with my weird little girl. She does things like hiding when it's time to go out and then pulling a LOT once you finally get her out. But Zoe never complained and always hung around with the baby for a few minutes of love and play after the walk. My schedule has changed and no longer need a dog-walker, but if I ever need one again, will definitely look for her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. This beginning with family members or neighbors, and eventually turning into one of my favorite hobbies, voulenteering for local animal shelters. I have experience with large dogs and small dogs, and with my time spent volunteering and also with my families own rescue animals, I believe I am a great fit for any dog. My family has a hard time leaving home to travel due to our rescues being not only very bonded to their owner, but perculiar on who they will spend time with. I hope to provide all families a sense of reassurance when needing any extra help! I graduated College in May '25 and am now in the waiting period of hearing back from Law Schools. My schedule is completely open all hours and all days of the week. Depending on the environment provided, I am confident in my ability to walk a dog of any size or just allow them to play in the comfort of their own backyard. Every dog is different and I am able to adjust however they are needing me to.
“She went out of her way to let me know that my dog would not go for a walk. She notified me to let me know because she was worried that something might be wrong. Turns out that it was around the Fourth of July. My dog has simply been spooked by the fireworks. She was reassured, and happily offered to play with her in her backyard. My sweet girl was delighted with the alternative playtime. I appreciate her a quick communication and concern for my darling.”

“Coco had an amazing time with Shannon during our 4-day stay! I was pleasantly surprised to receive a same-day update when I dropped him off, and Shannon continued sending daily updates, pictures, and videos of Coco playing with her dogs throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated her responsiveness and the genuine care she showed for my puppy. I would absolutely book with Shannon again!”
“Awesome family! So kind and loving. Our Miso got lots of exercise from their family dogs too! Theresa was so flexible with the timing of our drop off and pick up, made our trip much less stressful! Thank you! Will definitely use you in the future.”
“Brew absolutely loved being at Marahs, he didn’t wanna leave! I’m so thankful for the convenience and reassurance that my baby was going to a safe place, I won’t be taking him anywhere else! Thank you Marah!”
“My Shitzhu twins spent their first stay with John. I could not have asked for a better caregiver. John gave regular updates, spent quality time with the dogs, and provided absolutely first-class care, as good or better than if they were at home. They will definitely be visiting John again.”
“13/10 recommene!! Kaitie and her family took a good care of my baby girl. They are very flexible of drop off/pick up time and allow your pup to sleep with them in bed at nights. Multiple pics were sent each day. She is super sweet!! Will definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Donna was highly recommended to us by some friends and she took excellent care of our dog Malcolm while we went out of town for a wedding. She gave him endless attention which was evident when we picked him up and he made himself comfortable on her lap! She sent us pictures and videos so we knew he was in good hands, and even took him to the park and for plenty of walks. We highly recommend Donna to anyone!!”
About: I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always follow feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention so every dog feels at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and last-minute bookings whenever possible I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks for exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow the pet’s normal feeding schedule and routines. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away.
About: The house my parents moved into when I was only 4 weeks old was unfortunately a dumping ground for unwanted animals. Before I could even walk, I was cuddling with any animal that showed up at our door. This instilled a passion within me that I can finally turn into a profession. From Rescue and fostering to training dogs and showing horses, animals have always been a huge part of my life. In addition to my Management degree, I have an Associate of Science Degree with a major in Animal Science and a specialization in Agriculture. I completed an AKC handlers’ course which focused on reading your dog’s body language to understand their needs. Being so heavily involved in rescue, I have history and experience in dealing with reactive and/or selective dogs. I have many safety features depending on the animals needs including crates, double hung baby gates and 6 ft chain link fence that is separated into two yards. I also offer pet waste removal services. Feel free to send me a note if you have any questions. After a successful 25year business management career, I am now turning my lifetime passion of animal care into a profession. This year I started up my own business, "G'MA DOES". I offer a range of services from dog walking and pet sitting to animal waste removal. I like to stay active! While I have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge from multiple trainers, what I hold most dear is the ongoing information I take in from animal behaviorists such as Cesar Millan. Remember, when you first meet a strange dog practice NO TOUCH, NO TALK, NO EYE CONTACT! *LICENSED AND INSURED* In my house we call it "FURniture" for a reason. I use the "crate and rotate" regimen as needed and for feeding. I also have baby gates at every doorway. My entire backyard is a 6 ft chain length fence and I have it separated into two secured areas for exercise. Inside, one room is a dedicated cat room for litterboxes toys etc. The other two bedrooms will be dedicated safe spaces used for play, overnight stays, or whatever the situation calls for.
About: I’ve had dogs, usually multiple ones, living with me for my entire life. I just so enjoy being with them and I have a very flexible work schedule so I can always help take care of your furry friend! I work from home and can always set my own schedule so I can be available almost anytime. I will make it a priority to take care of your dog. I have a pig named Beaker living with me and he has a wonderful personality and lives all other dogs. I’ll happily follow any directions you have for your baby and live to play with dogs in any fashion.
“Ashley is absolutely amazing! She is so kind, easy to work with, and loves dogs. Ashley made sure to send us pictures of our dog while we were away, and my dog was genuinely smiling and happy to be there! We appreciated the huge backyard, too. Definitely recommend using Ashley and we will be rebooking again!”
“I came home to a happy dog! I know having my energetic lab for a rainy weekend was not easy. I appreciate the flexibility with drop-off and pickup times and I love her way with animals. I'll be a lot less uneasy about leaving my pup after this good experience.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”
“I highly recommend Megan!!!! Megan did an amazing job with our dog and cat. She stayed with them at our house for a long weekend while we went out of town. She is incredibly sweet and our fur babies really liked her.”
“Karlie was wonderful. I have an anxious little poodle, and Karlie gave me daily updates and pictures. Apparently Max fell right in with her family pack after a couple of days and was just fine. She even let him sleep in bed with her like he does at home. I know that settled his heart for sure. Big thank you to Karlie and her family for loving Max!”
“Erin and Matthew were amazing with our medical Great Dane. They sent a daily update with a picture. Our guy is pretty nervous and they were patient with him. They administer medication daily. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience as a first time user of Rover. I would highly recommend and plan to use them again in the future!”
About: I began volunteering at my local animal shelter at the age of 9 and have been caring for animals ever since. I have 20 years experience pet sitting for neighbors and I have my own 6 year old pitbull, Cleo, so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs. I’m a teacher, so my summers give me full flexibility to care for your animals! I love to walk dogs on local greenways and trails. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can play. If they like to play with a buddy, my dog will be their best friend!
