“Whitney was wonderful! She made our pups feel right at home and eased their sitter/ boarding anxiety by taking great care of them and sticking to their routine. She accommodated our last minute booking request and sent updates so our minds were completely at ease while our 2 large rescue dogs were in her care. I highly recommend Whitney to care for your pups!”

“Ella was a first time boarder at Stephen's last weekend and had a great stay. He was excellent at creating a calm and welcoming environment for her, as well as accommodating the longer wooded walks that she was used to. Stephen was great at sending updates and pics to make us feel confident that Ella was safe and in good hands. I would recommend him highly and will use him again for our next time away.”

Our boy was clearly well cared for and somehow came back a better listener! He was in constant company and I think he had a great time.”

Her way with dogs is special; she paid attention to our dog for the week we booked, and the entire time we were away, we were at ease knowing our dog was cared for like family. It is without reservation that we give the highest rating for Riley - again, simply the best!”

It was clear from the start that they truly love dogs, and Chewie felt right at home with them. I got updates that gave me complete peace of mind, and I could tell he was happy and well looked after the entire time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Jason and his wife went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitters.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was younger, cleaning the litter box once a day every day. I deep clean it with a hose, and dawn dish soap once a month and refill it with new litter. I spend about an hour playing with them or until they get bored. Cats are by far my favorite animal and I love them dearly. I also tend to feed the strays around my house.

About: I have owned at least one dog for almost 20 years. For the last 8 years, my husband and I have owned and trained Labrador retrievers and gun dogs. I enjoy spreading our knowledge to those around us to include basic obedience. I have an outdoor area set up to take care of multiple pets. I currently work from home full time and am home all day long so your pet will be closely monitored and taken care of with ease. I have a fenced yard and outdoor kennel areas. I also have a large area inside my home where your pet can be kept inside. I do prefer crating all pets at night for their safety. Whether you prefer your pet to be inside or have no preference whether your pet stays inside or outside, we have both options. I have multiple pets in our home. **Please note if you are a new client and have not stayed with us, I do require proof of up to date pets vaccinations. This can be a quick photo of their records or a link to their records.

About: Hi! I’m Ashley! 🐾 I’m a small-business owner, but I only work two days a week during normal business hours. The rest of the week, I’m a stay-at-home mom to my toddler, so I’m home most of the time and able to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and love! I offer both dog boarding and daycare, and I only take ONE client dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog individualized attention rather than having a house full of unfamiliar dogs. Our home is very pet-friendly. We have: •One 6-year-old pit mix who is part of our family •Three indoor/outdoor cats who are comfortable around dogs •A toddler, so dogs must be comfortable and safe around small children •A fully fenced yard with a doggy door I’m happy to accept dogs of all ages and sizes, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs who need medications or additional attention. Our sweet 15-year-old beagle, Cletis, who you may see in my profile picture, recently passed away, so I’m very familiar with the extra care that comes with senior dogs, including medications and keeping up with their individual routines. I also have plenty of experience with hounds and their famously adventurous, escape-artist personalities! The one important requirement is that your dog must be comfortable being crated. On the two days I work, your dog may be crated for up to 8 hours while I’m away. The rest of the week, I’m home with my toddler and your pup will have lots of companionship and attention. For everyone’s safety and comfort, dogs staying with us need to: • Be comfortable around small children • Be comfortable around cats • Be able to safely stay in a crate for up to 8 hours when necessary • Be comfortable in a home with another dog • Be house-trained or actively working on it I want your dog to feel like they’re staying in a home, not a kennel. I’ll treat your pup like one of our own, keep you updated with pictures and messages, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and time outside. Before the first stay, I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet so we can make sure my home and family are a good fit for your dog! Being a stay at home mom makes my days very open and flexible.

I’m happy to provide a crate if needed. Dogs must also be cat-friendly or able to peacefully ignore cats without chasing or fixating on them. Since I have a toddler in my home, all dogs must be gentle, friendly, and safe around young children. These requirements are important to ensure a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for all pets and family members&** I’m happy to accept dogs of all ages and sizes, including puppies and senior dogs.

About: Benefits of my service: 🐾 I serve one client at a time. 🐾 I am always at home. 🐾 I currently don't have any pets. 🐾 Daily updates and pictures. 🐾 Pet CPR + First Aid certified. 🐾 Up to two nature walks a day included (Weather and temperature permitting). 🐾 Constant attention and affection with plenty of playtime. 🐾 Locked rates on the 2nd booking. New to Rover? You can get $20 off your first booking with the promo code "STEPHH14235" I am a self-employed homebody who has an extremely flexible schedule and doesn't currently have pets in the home. This means that I can provide 24/7 care and 100% focus on your little friend full-time. More importantly, your pet will be more comfortable always having a human around. I've been called reliable, honest and punctual. I take a more personalized approach and only serve one client at a time. This way I can provide the most efficient care based on their specific needs while also mitigating the risks of hosting multiple unfamiliar dogs at once. The three pillars of my pet care are safety, reliability, and comfort.

About: From cats and dogs to cattle and kangaroos, I've worked with hundreds of different animals. When it comes to our fur babies, I have trained and shown dogs for 9 years, whilst working in veterinary settings with my family since I was 8. Older dogs and puppies require extra care, and I am totally able to keep close to your pets to help them out. I currently have a remote job, so I can do my work while house sitting to make things easier. If anything ever came up, you would be the first to know - well in advance. I'm extremely flexible with my schedule and routines for dog walking at any hour of the day (or night). If it's dog sitting at your home, I'll likely stay the night unless that's something you aren't comfortable with. And to cover my end of things, I ask for an in-person meet and greet so I can let the pets get to know me before hanging out with them while you're away. This is also to go over questions, feeding, bathroom / walking routines, and more.

About: Hi, I’m Sierra! I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I want to make that experience a little easier for both of you. I’m patient, caring, and happy to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable from their favorite activities to the little things they’re particular about. I’ll follow their routine and your care instructions, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures and messages. Feel free to share anything you’d like me to know about them. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and knowing how your pet is doing! When I accept a booking, I set aside time to give your dog dependable care and attention. I confirm the schedule and care instructions with you beforehand, arrive on time for walks and visits, and follow your dog’s routine for meals, potty breaks, exercise, and rest. In my home or yours, I make sure your pet’s space is safe by keeping doors secure and food, cleaning products, and small objects out of reach. On walks, I use a secure leash and follow your instructions about interactions with other dogs and people. Before care begins, I ask about allergies, health concerns, behavior, and anything your pet needs to feel comfortable. I keep your contact information and vet details handy, respect your home, and let you know promptly if anything seems wrong

“We were so excited to meet Heather! Just from texting I felt that she would take great care of my dog. Well, he got sick and I had to cancel my plans. When I contacted Heather she was so helpful with trying to help me figure out what to do for Bentley. She even checked the next day to see if he was any better! So looking forward to meeting Heather soon!!”

About: Hi! I have been around dogs in some capacity since I was young - 20+ years ago now, I was blessed to get Tank, a rambuctious and sweet Pomeranian. Since then, I now have two pomeranians (one mix pomsky) and have sat on Rover since 2015. I absolutely love all animals, especially doggies. We look forward to inviting your family member (pet) to join our festivities during a holiday or just a weekend away. Please contact me to book or shoot me a private message for details about your dog. We are excited to watch your family member (pet). Things your dog will enjoy, playing with two other pups, weekend dog park trips or hikes. My family members (dog), Apollo & Phoenix are friendly and has so much fun with most other dogs. Phoenix does well with small and medium size dogs. We have 4 crates, 2 dog parks, plenty of extra harnesses, and leashes just in case, and a dog washing station if your pup needs a bath while your away. We look forward to meeting your furr baby and sitting for you! I'm currently, enjoy mornings and afternoons with the pups I sit. we go on long walks in the mornings before work and a trip to the dog park after work.. and of course delicious meals in-between. :) I have friendly dogs, Apollo(6mo.) & Phoenix(3), to keep your furr babies company and can crate my dog if need be. The safety of you furr babies is a priority and communicating with you while your away has always been my style.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs on a farm, apartment, townhouse, etc. I have experience with many different personalities, energy levels, and breed needs I currently have two dogs of my own, a great pyrenees and a golden retriever. I’ve also worked at a veterinary clinic as a vet tech, gaining additional experiences with animal care, health needs, and proper handling. I beleive no dog should be judged by their breed or put under a general label. I focus on their body language and individual personalities, while still addressing breed needs. I currently am working 32-40 hours a week that gives me a certain level of flexibility to match your schedule. I receive my schedule every Saturday, two weeks posted at a time. I will give full transparency if there are any schedule conflicts. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, they’re your family! My goal is to always make sure both you and your pet few safe, supported, and at ease while you’re away. I do my best to follow your pet’s routing exactly the way you do at home, adjusting to whatever care instructions you prefer. I am also more than happy to provide updates as often as you’d life, whether that’s daily or hourly check-ins, photos, or videos so you can see how your pet is doing. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, health, and surroundings, making sure they’re safe and comfortable both inside the home and in outdoor spaces. I keep information on local vets and emergency clinics on my phone. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own!

About: I've consistently had at least one cat and dog in my household at all times, if not two! I took Small Animal Care 1&2 in high-school. Durring summer breaks I went to horse camp where we learned how to safely handle, ride, and groom horses. I occasionally take care of my neighbors chickens when they go on vacation. I am currently working part-time and my schedule is made on a monthly basis. I'm available most weekends and weekdays after 1pm. Can do early mornings and late potty breaks. The house I live in has a large front yard and a larger backyard. It is unfenced but in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for walking
