About: Hi, I’m Taylah! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12, helping raise Great Danes, a Husky, and puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I’m available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and doggy day care. I also welcome holiday bookings—just send me a message! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I go on walks every day, so bringing a furry friend along is always a joy, not a task. Whether it’s morning strolls or evening wind-downs, I’m already active and outdoors, which makes it easy to give your dog the exercise and attention they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just a little extra love throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. In my home, dogs have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax, with plenty of room to play and nap. I follow their regular routines—feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions—to make the transition smooth and stress-free. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect the space and the pet’s comfort zone. I keep things consistent by sticking to your pet’s usual routine, offering companionship, regular potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, loved, and well-cared for—whether they’re in my home or their own.

“This was the second stay Leo had with Jim. With all the frequent updates and communication, we knew exactly what was going on with our little boy in JIm's sweet home. We felt so lucky to have found a home outside of the home for our little boy. We will definitely book another stay with Jim.”
“Dayana and her family are wonderful sitter’s! They treat Bella like family and have given her the nickname “Queen Bella”’. Communication is great - I receive morning and evening updates with pictures and videos. I recommend Dayana/Sonia 100% and will be using them as my dog sitters going forward.”

Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”

“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“The boarding went very smoothly! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and even with my late drop-off (completely my fault), everything was handled with patience and professionalism. I felt confident my two little rascals were in great hands!”
“Sabine is EXCELLENT! Not only did she take excellent care of my two little Yorkies, she went above and beyond in their care. I fell I’ll while on my trip and had to delay my return by a day. She was understanding and incredibly helpful, even picking up extra food for them. I can tell my little pups loved her and her dogs. She is kind, loving, very observant, and an excellent communicator. Now knowing I have someone I can trust wholeheartedly, makes me feel so much better when considering going out of town. THANK YOU, Sabine!”

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats shy, playful, rescued, and senior. I love creating a safe and calm environment for them. I make sure they eat well, get companionship, enjoy playtime, and always feel cared for. I’m attentive to any signs of stress or discomfort, and I treat every cat as part of the family.
About: Used to walk multiple dogs regularly, have house sitted with multiple animals in the house. Have worked with large dogs over 100lbs to smaller dogs. I would like to disclose I walk with my veteran husband due to my PTSD sorry for any inconvenience. I love speaking to all furry friends sweetly and lovingly. I love animals of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently free most of the time as a stay at home wife and mother. Weather depending. Can make accommodations if the weather isn't ideal. Please just contact me to discuss alternate options during bad weather. I will provide the highest level of safety and care when I'm with your animals. I always make sure an environment is safe and clear before entering. I treat all animals as if they were my own, I'm very particular on how animals are treated and do my upmost to make your animals feel as loved as you make them feel.
About: I’ve taken care of older dogs as well as puppies. I’m an outdoorsy person, love going to parks and taking my doggy nieces with me! Your dog will be engaged, played with and cared for. Walks- (M-F) after 6:00pm Saturday anytime Sundays after 2pm Drop in visits- only available on weekends anytime House sitting- available 7 days a week, for M-F I will be working 8am-5pm, Saturday and Sundays available all day I love to play, cuddle and pet. I also understand that not all dogs like that. Depending on the dog’s personality and body language, I’ll typically do whatever is more comfortable for them. I have a puppy niece that is very active and is high energy and loves to cuddle and my other doggy niece (an older pitty) prefers to be left alone and watch tv lol so I’m pretty adaptable.
“Alyssa is so very sweet and gentle with our furbabies. She’s lovely, uber-reliable (no reminders needed), and absolutely trustworthy! We appreciated communication with feedback about her visits and photos to see that our dogs were OK!”
About: I’m back on Rover for summer break 2026. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs (and fish) since I was a teenager, and had a beloved dog for 13 years who passed away in 2023. I have since adopted a wild little puppy, which is why I can’t do overnights anymore. If drop-ins work for you instead, contact me for a flat daily rate instead of paying for each drop-in. I have volunteered at the humane society and often watch my friends’ pets when they go out of town. I also took care of my dog through multiple knees surgeries and two different types of cancer. I love being able to take care of animals in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and know their families will be back soon. As a high school counselor, I’m available for drop-ins, walks, crate breaks, and playtime all summer long. If you have a dog or cat who needs a crate break during the day or you just want to have some company or exercise before you get home from work, I’m here for that. I will love on your pets and give them as much attention, play, walks, cuddles, and fun as they want! If your pet is more of a recluse, I can be there for company and to take care of them, while fully respecting their personality. I will follow your directions specifically, because I know how important it is to maintain diet, house rules, meal schedules, bathroom routines, and medication times for a pet’s health and well-being. I prefer to watch pets in their homes because after having a dog, I understand how much less stress it is for them. I’ll take daily pictures (at least) and ask what time of day is best for you to receive them (especially if you’re in a different time zone). I’m happy to watch pets recovering from surgery too, as long as there are clear instructions. This was a challenge I experienced when my dog had surgery and I had to go to work, so I’d be happy to fill that need.
“I had such a great experience with my cat sitter! She was incredibly sweet, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond while I was out of town. She kept in consistent communication, sent me plenty of pictures, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Exceptional Care! Dominique was absolutely amazing. She stayed in my home for eight days to care for my very shy cat, Peanut, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Peanut normally takes a long time to warm up to new people, but she bonded with Dominique as if they had known each other for years. That alone speaks to her patience, calm presence, and genuine love for animals. She also took wonderful care of my home during her stay — everything was left spotless and exactly as I had left it. I felt completely at ease throughout my vacation knowing Peanut was safe, comfortable, and loved. I can’t recommend Dominique enough. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, trustworthy, and truly exceptional with animals, she is the one. I will absolutely book her again! 💛🐾”

I allow my dogs on the couch, they have dog pillows to lay on, and they have blankets in their crates to keep them comfortable.
“Stephanie was out of this world amazing. This is the longest I left our shy little kitty & I was super nervous. I asked for frequent updates & Stephanie absolutely delivered. She got in lots of play time, snuggles & treats but made sure to not force anything on our girl. Stephanie was so understanding, patient and kind and really helped us to be able to relax on our vacation. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful we booked her. Thanks Stephanie!”

“My dog had a wonderful time with Erin and Guiness! He's apprehensive when meeting new dogs and new people, and Erin was wonderful about being patient with him and letting him warm up to her and to Guiness in his own time. Erin sent lots of photos so I could see how he was doing. I will definitely be choosing Erin for my future dog care needs!”
“Mila was outstanding! My dog was recently brought home from a shelter and Mila was not only kind and understanding but my dog didn't even want to leave her when it was time to come home. She took plenty of pics so I knew the dog was okay and her timeliness is out of this world!!! She did pickups and drop offs on time and had great communication the whole time. We will definitely book her again!”

Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, sugar gliders, cats, and dogs. Each experience has given me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, as well as the patience and attentiveness needed to provide quality care. I’m currently pursuing a degree in psychology, which has strengthened my interest in understanding behavior—both in people and animals. I believe that building trust and creating a comfortable environment is key to helping pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, cleaning habitats, or simply providing companionship, I always strive to treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to maintaining the routines and care standards that help pets thrive. I would love the opportunity to help care for your pets and make sure they feel loved and well looked after! I can fit it in. I love animals. And I currently just moved here and haven’t started a new job yet but I would love to care for your animals! I take my dog outside everyday and my cats are inside cats so I keep them inside and play with them inside and give them lots of pets!

“Camila was awesome! Despite my travel plans adjusting last minute she was extremely accommodating and very communicative throughout the stay. Grateful for her passion and professionalism.”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“This was the second stay Leo had with Jim. With all the frequent updates and communication, we knew exactly what was going on with our little boy in JIm's sweet home. We felt so lucky to have found a home outside of the home for our little boy. We will definitely book another stay with Jim.”

“Vanessa was great! Our puppy Lee had a great time. Vanessa was easy to communicate with and Lee enjoyed playing with the other pups! We will definitely book again with Vanessa!”
“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“The boarding went very smoothly! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and even with my late drop-off (completely my fault), everything was handled with patience and professionalism. I felt confident my two little rascals were in great hands!”
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Michael and his girlfriend were absolute lifesavers this weekend! They took such incredible care of my dog, Mr. Bear, and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. From thoughtful updates to plenty of outdoor time, they treated him like family — which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Bear can be a little picky (and has some specific dietary needs), but they followed every instruction with care and patience. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved — which says everything. You can truly tell these two are dog people through and through. I would 1000% book with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their pup. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of my big guy! 🐾💙”
“Tracey was so wonderful and accommodating when our flight was delayed getting home and we had to push back our pick up time! We can tell our doggo was well taken care of and had a blast playing with the other dogs. Highly recommend Tracey!”
“Aiden, you did such an amazing job caring for Finn while we were away. I’m glad you got to know him well before our trip. I’m glad I found you and hope Finn can stay with you again one day.”
