“I was a little nervous leaving my dog with someone new, but Kristin was wonderful. She kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated, and it was obvious my dog was having a great time. One of her favorite things is playing in water, so seeing all the fun she had made me so happy. She came home tired and happy, and I could tell she had been well cared for.”
“This was the first time that we have had Lucky stay with someone outside of family and I could not have been more grateful for Dennis and Lynn. They were incredible! They provided me with peace of mind that Lucky would be well taken care of. They were quick to respond and sent me a video of lucky having a fun time. If you are looking for someone to care for your dog during the day or overnight, I would highly recommend them!!”

“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“Erin (and family 😊) were wonderful with Hazel. She can be a high energy greeter and the meet and greeent well. You can tell right away that the are experienced with dogs by the questions and approach. Hazel was living her best pupper life while staying with Erin. I highly recommend her especially if you like pics of your baby while you are separated.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life growing up and I have cared for them since I was a kid. Our family has owned several dogs over the years and I understand how stressful it is to find a reliable sitter. I am currently working full time from home so I can provide plenty of attention throughout the day with a large yard and walks mornings and evenings, in the many parks and trails right here in browns point. Full time working from home so I can give most of my attention to taking care of your loved ones. I like to provide morning and evening walks in the many trails and parks in the dash point neighborhood Large back yard for playing with many plants and trees. Clean and safe home free of hazards and good security. Very walkable neighborhood with parks and trails nearby
“I can tell that Onyx had an amazing time with Ricardo and his wife. He had other friends to play with and they told me that he loved a ball that he was playing with. I am so happy that I found Ricardo for Onyx. I feel so at peace with leaving my pup with him.”
“Still an awesome sitting experience, I love that he's getting socialized with other dogs and animals. We did send him with 4 days worth of food for 2 days and when we received the containers back, they were completely empty. He also came back a little obese so we think he was overfed a little bit.”
“We boarded our dog Luna with Marla for five days while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we dropped Luna off, we knew she was in great hands. The daily updates with photos and videos were such a relief—it was so nice seeing Luna happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. Marla went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt comfortable and loved while we were away. We highly recommend Marla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Luna came home happy and tired from all the fun she had! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you! Highly recommend!”

“I loved the care she provided! She was informing me of the activities my dogs did during the day along with pictures, reassuring me they were happy and well!”
“Floki absolutely loves staying with Andrea! The biggest sign is that when we pull into her driveway, he runs straight to the door with excitement. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s happy, safe, and well cared for while I’m away. She recently watched him for the weekend, and I know he was loved and treated like family. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Kelly did an amazing job helping my quirky dog feel very happy and comfortable during the week she stayed with her! Kelly was communicative and sent great photos of Goldie every couple of days. She obviously has a lot of experience with rescues, and is very kind and patient. We will absolutely use her again when we travel!”

“Heather was amazing! Very communicative, which was especially helpful! Instantly got along with our little Whitney. Very glad Heather was looking after our little fur baby.”
“Teri is just the best! She took awesome care of our 5 cats (and two fish) during a short trip. We came home and all our pets were in good spirits, well fed, and like we never left, which definitely has not always been the case with sitters. She also went above and beyond what we asked for because she knew some things around our house needed to be done to ensure equilibrium while we were away. We will absolutely be reaching out to Teri again for support.”
“I am so happy to find Egle! We just moved in and had to take a trip and I was nervous about leaving our kitty alone in a new place. I was able to find Egle last minute and she did a wonderful job sitting my saucy kitty Momo. Momo does not like many humans but Egle was patient with her and quickly won her over. We appreciated the very thorough updates and great photos while we were away. Egle is kind, patient, responsible, and communicative. I am so glad to have found her. Thank you Egle!”
“Rose is absolutely amazing! She stepped in on short notice to care for our two cats while we were at the hospital for our baby. Her response time was incredibly fast, her updates were thoughtful and detailed, and our kitties adored her. We cannot recommend Rose highly enough!”
“Emily is a dependable sitter who cares about the pets she takes care of. I hope she's always available when we need her, because she gives me the peace of mind that our kits have been checked in on. She genuinely loves animals ❤”
“Really nice to work with and knowledgeable with what needs to been done e when situations arise from the unexpected. I will definitely call on Mariana to help my family out again. Thanks!”
“Shella was the absolute BEST! She took the best care of our kitty cats. She fed them, cleaned their litter boxes and played with them. She was such an animal lover that our shy girl, Freya, even came out to say hello on the 2nd visit. Definitely plan to use her again. We highly recommend her.”
“Issana is a livesaver. As a newly single pet parent leaving is always stressful, but I didn't have anything to worry about. My kitties were in great hands! Issana was so wonderful with them and gave me lots of updates. I'm so grateful to have found her.”
“Has gone above and beyond to look over our little one - especially since she came down sick and Sara spent extra time to get her taken care of. There is so much piece of mind that Sara has the skills and knowledge to know what to do.”
“We are absolutely thankful for Jesse. And our Jax loves playing and hanging with him. He makes the time with him good. He gets so tired after playing, it breaks up his time alone during times we need help. He is so great with our lab and he will be our regular as long as he does this.”
About: I have over 10+ years of professional experience caring for furry friends from tots to seniors. I enjoy learning the unique personalities of each animal I care for and building a friendship around trust and safety. I frequently care for pets with high anxiety, energy, and special needs. I keep them engaged through exercise, hide and seek, cognitive games, training, fetch, tug of war, and other favorites while closely following all diet and lifestyle instructions. After moving to Dash Point, I now have expanded availability to offer more services on Rover! Pet care is part of my daily routine; I offer weekday and weekend availability, stay flexible, and adjust to each owner’s schedule with clear communication. Currently I do not have a car or pet-friendly housing. I provide attentive in-home house sits and drop-ins, following routines, updates, and care instructions daily.
“Megan rocks ! She was super cool when she came over to check out the house and the animals. She sent me photos and updates, I will absolutely use her again!!! ✨”
“Sophia was very attentive to our little kitten. He is a ball of energy and as a single kitten, we worry about him being stressed or lonely while we are away. After a poor experience with a previous sitter, I wanted to find someone who understands cats and who would make him feel comfortable. Sophia did just that! I will definitely be looking to her for future kitty sitting :)”
“Very diligently took notes during the initial home walkthrough, very communicative during each of her visits with the kitties. Overall, a stellar pet-sitting experience and will absolutely be booking her in the future.”
“Josie did a wonderful job taking care of our cats - she was reliable, communicative, and provided great care for our furbabies. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our pets were in good hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Josie again for our next getaway!”
“Morgan was amazing! She was able to fit me in even when I had a last-minute trip come up and it was obvious she enjoys the job, I didnt have any concerns while I was gone.”

“Dennis & Lynn were very pleasant to meet! They have a beautiful home with a big yard for my pup to play in. I received updates throughout my pups stay. Nevie had so much fun and played so hard she slept the majority of the evening when she got home. I booked again with Dennis and Lynn and my puppy Nevie will be so excited to return to visit!”
“Eileen was great she kept me informed throughout the whole time my dog stayed with her and took care and pride in taking care of dog she even played soothing music that helped put her to sleep I would recommend her to anyone”
“Alyssa has been nothing but amazing! I first booked her for dog walking while we were out of town for a week and our friend staying with Sully worked long hours. I received multiple pictures everyday of their walking adventures; you could tell Sully really enjoyed his walks with her. Today he had his first day of daycare at Alyssa’s home and again I received multiple pictures and updates on how he was doing with her dogs. He has since come home and has been relaxing at my side. We are going to do weekly daycare with Alyssa and will definitely book her for pet sitting or walking when we are out of town again!! I cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Polly looks forward to every visit with Marisol and Milo, and literally runs from the car to their front door! I feel so grateful she has such a special bond with them and has SO MUCH FUN every time! Thank you Marisol and Milo for making her feel so special and loved! I highly recommend Marisol for overnight stays and day care play dates!”
“Danitra has been amazing with our puppy! We have been taking him to her home for daycare for a couple of weeks and it is wonderful to know that he is in good hands and getting the play and attention he needs while we’re at work.”
“Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!”
“Ricardo is Onyx’s favorite friend. They have three other dogs that are so well behaved and t they play with Onyx. They even play ball with him and even gave onyx’s favorite ball. He even plays with the ball at my home every day. I will recommend them so many times.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped raise litters, bottle-feed puppies, and care for our pack of four. Those early experiences taught me how to read dog body language, manage routines, and safely handle multiple dogs with calm confidence. I’ve continued pet sitting, boarding, and walking over the years and bring a grounded, patient approach to every dog I care for. I work hard to create an environment where dogs feel safe, understood, and relaxed. I truly treat every dog like part of our family. I’m married, have a 12-year-old daughter, and a baby boy. I currently work in nonprofit leadership, but spending time with dogs—getting outdoors, keeping routines, and building trust—brings me balance and joy. I’m also continuing to expand my dog behavior and training knowledge as I build my long-term path in professional dog care. Boarding I offer in-home dog boarding in a calm, family-centered environment and host up to two dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of attention and structure. Because the setting is shared, dogs should be well-socialized and comfortable around other dogs. I may coordinate a meet-and-greet ahead of time to ensure a smooth, stress-free stay. If your dog needs solo boarding, I’m happy to discuss options on a case-by-case basis for an additional cost. Dog Walking I offer 30- and 60-minute walks tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog prefers a brisk outing or a slow sniff-walk, I adjust accordingly. I can reinforce basic training cues, and you’ll receive photos and a summary after each visit. Drop-In Visits Drop-ins include potty breaks, meals, medication (if needed), and plenty of quality time—play, cuddles, or calm companionship. Please ensure each pet is listed on your Rover profile so I can provide accurate and consistent care. For your pet’s well-being, be sure to book enough visits to match their routine and comfort needs. No matter the service I guarantee your pup will get loadssss of love and cuddles. I mean why else would I be doing Rover?? Pet Care Information & Schedule I work from home so have lots of time to be with your pup. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Earliest drop-off: 8:00 AM Latest pick-up: 8:30 PM If you ever need a different time, just reach out. I’m flexible when I can be, though there may be a small extra charge for off-hour arrangements. Your dog’s safety and emotional comfort are my highest priorities. Here’s what you can always expect when your pet stays with me: Supervised interactions only — especially with kids or when new dogs arrive. Slow, gentle introductions so your dog builds trust at their own pace. No off-leash exposure unless in a fully fenced, secure area. Detailed updates with photos or videos. Structured feeding times exactly the way you request. A calm and predictable environment (dogs relax faster this way!). We have a gated kitchen which separates your pup from our front door. We also have apple tags that will be put on every dogs collar or harness once they arrive. We double check our perimeter after every pup and keep on eye on them while they are outside for potty and play breaks. Immediate communication about anything unusual, like changes in appetite, bowel movements or behavior. My experience raising puppies, seniors, and multi-dog groups means I’m comfortable reading subtle cues and adjusting care quickly. Your dog will always be treated with patience, affection, and respect.
“Marla is very responsive and attentive, sent pictures and updates throughout the day. My pup enjoyed her spacious yard and had so much fun playing with Boo. I will be booking again!”
“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”
“Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with a ragdoll cat, two mini schnauzer doggies, and regularly foster dogs. My 2 senior cats that I grew up with currently live with my mom. Every dog or puppy I foster and have in my home learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.

About: Have been in animal care team at zoo and aquarium for almost 2 years. I have been taking care of dogs and cats in the past for my family and their friends. I have 7 years old bearded dragon.

Keep my bearded dragon in my bedroom and allows him to free-roaming around my home with supervision. I keep feeding him in time and provide variety of diets.
“Emily is the kindest, best walker EVER! My puppy LOVED her and it was a if they'd known each other forever. I felt so safe leaving her knowing she'd have a great day. Emily also kept up my training, so when my puppy came back to me, she was even better at walking on leash.”
About: Growing up, many of my neighbors have come to me when in need of a pet sitter. I have experience with various different dog and cat breeds. I spend time occasionally at my local humane society because animals truly have a soft spot in my heart. I am a recent college graduate doing remote work, so my schedule is very flexible! Therefore, your pets care will be my top priority. Please contact me for a more detailed schedule. As a trusted sitter in your house, the area will be kept nice and tidy. Your home will also be protected as I always double check that all doors are locked. I will do exactly as your directions say when it comes to your fur babies care and give more than necessary affection!
“We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the incredible care and attention you’ve consistently given to our dog. Your communication has always been clear and in a timely manner! You're super friendly, not to mention your dependability has been so comforting for us. We appreciate you always letting us know whether or not you're going to be late in a timely manner so we never have to worry if you're coming or not. Our pup can be quite timid at times, but your gentle approach and calm presence have truly helped him feel safe and happy. It’s clear he really enjoys his time with you, and we’re so grateful for the trust and bond you’ve built with him. Thank you for being such a reliable and compassionate part of his routine. We appreciate you more than words can say!”
“This is Mariana’s second service with Luna and she has been fantastic both times! I always have peace of mind knowing Luna is safe, happy, and well cared for when I’m gone on a trip or have a long work day!”
“Shella does a wonderful job walking Kimi and Roxy on the days I work late. Knowing they've been out and are playing (the photos are great!) when I can't be home is a big relief. I highly recommend her!”
“I have nothing but positive words and gratitude for Audrey! I have two very different dogs, one is super anxious and hyper and another timid and mellow. So they are both not so great with strangers, but they took to Audrey right away, which made me feel so much better about having somebody else take care of my dogs, as it's not something I do often. I really appreciate how great Audrey is at communicating. And I can tell that she pays individual attention to each of my dogs and caters to their very different needs. And a cherry on top of all the amazing time Audrey has spent with my dogs is that she takes really (really!!) good pictures! I just love seeing how happy my puppies are during their walks from the pictures that Adurey takes.”
“Our yellow lab Rosie had the best time! She got plenty of walks and attention, and Rose even helped clean up and take care of a little skin irritation while we were gone. We came home to a super happy pup and couldn’t be more grateful!”

About: Hi! My name is Monae, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my volunteer work at the Humane Society and Resilient Sanctuary, where I help with walking dogs, providing enrichment and socialization, cleaning kennels, preparing food and water, and assisting with daily care. I am comfortable around dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I am currently pursuing a degree in psychology, and I have a strong interest in animal behavior and dog training. This has helped me develop patience, observation skills, and an understanding of how to build trust with both pets and their owners. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them with the same care, attention, and respect that I would want for my own pet. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your furry family member, and I am committed to providing reliable care and clear communication every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Why book with me? * Volunteer experience with dogs at the Humane Society and Resilient Sanctuary * Experience with daily animal care, enrichment, and socialization * Reliable and responsive communication * Comfortable with dogs of various breeds and sizes * Passionate about animal behavior and dog training * Dedicated to making pets feel safe, happy, and loved I work full-time with TSA, so I currently offer pet care on Fridays and Saturdays. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I look forward to dedicating my days off to caring for pets. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or companionship, I will make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs receive plenty of walks, exercise, potty breaks, and attention. I always follow the owner's instructions and take the time to learn each dog's routine and needs. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society and Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, where I work with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care. I am also pursuing a degree in psychology and will be starting the Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations course. My long-term goal is to become a service dog trainer, so I'm passionate about continuing to learn and build experience working with dogs.

“I was a little nervous leaving my dog with someone new, but Kristin was wonderful. She kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated, and it was obvious my dog was having a great time. One of her favorite things is playing in water, so seeing all the fun she had made me so happy. She came home tired and happy, and I could tell she had been well cared for.”
“This was the first time that we have had Lucky stay with someone outside of family and I could not have been more grateful for Dennis and Lynn. They were incredible! They provided me with peace of mind that Lucky would be well taken care of. They were quick to respond and sent me a video of lucky having a fun time. If you are looking for someone to care for your dog during the day or overnight, I would highly recommend them!!”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“Erin (and family 😊) were wonderful with Hazel. She can be a high energy greeter and the meet and greeent well. You can tell right away that the are experienced with dogs by the questions and approach. Hazel was living her best pupper life while staying with Erin. I highly recommend her especially if you like pics of your baby while you are separated.”
“Jenn is my go to dogsitter anytime I travel! It’s lovely to be able to enjoy my travel knowing my dogs are safe and having a great time. My dogs love Jenn and her family, plus her playful pup!”
“Jen took very good care of our beloved Aussie while we were out of town for 5 days. She always kept me up to date with adorable photos and regular updates, which was very reassuring. Our dog loved having the backyard to roam & regular walks. I highly recommend Jen!”

“I can tell that Onyx had an amazing time with Ricardo and his wife. He had other friends to play with and they told me that he loved a ball that he was playing with. I am so happy that I found Ricardo for Onyx. I feel so at peace with leaving my pup with him.”
“Still an awesome sitting experience, I love that he's getting socialized with other dogs and animals. We did send him with 4 days worth of food for 2 days and when we received the containers back, they were completely empty. He also came back a little obese so we think he was overfed a little bit.”
“We boarded our dog Luna with Marla for five days while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we dropped Luna off, we knew she was in great hands. The daily updates with photos and videos were such a relief—it was so nice seeing Luna happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. Marla went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt comfortable and loved while we were away. We highly recommend Marla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Luna came home happy and tired from all the fun she had! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you! Highly recommend!”
“I loved the care she provided! She was informing me of the activities my dogs did during the day along with pictures, reassuring me they were happy and well!”
“Kelly did an amazing job helping my quirky dog feel very happy and comfortable during the week she stayed with her! Kelly was communicative and sent great photos of Goldie every couple of days. She obviously has a lot of experience with rescues, and is very kind and patient. We will absolutely use her again when we travel!”
“Christiana was incredible! She gave the best updates, would go the extra mile for your pup in a heartbeat, and completely put my mind at ease while traveling. My senior dog has lots of health concerns but Christiana followed all the instructions and took great care of my boy.”
“Heather was sweet and my dog was well cared for in her hands. We had some flight difficulties and she had to stay an extra night, but thankfully heather was flexible and able to take her an unexpected extra night.”
“Last minute booking for an overnight stay; handled with ease and hassle-free experience. Our dog had a great time with no problems or funny stuff. Good pet-friendly people! Thanks!”
“Max has such a fun time with Priscilla and Millie! He gets to play with familiar and new friends and also have chill time when they're tired. Priscilla sends daily updates and pictures which are nice to have when I'm away to know my pup is doing well and what he's up to. Max is always so excited to visit them, and very tired once he comes home :)”
“Kirsten and Nathan went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt right at home while we were away. They kept us updated with great communication and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. So grateful to have found them! Highly recommend.”
“Alyssa jumped in while Dane was out of town and made Lobster’s stay feel like a mini vacation. Lobster came along with his buddy Ren and they were straight into dog park adventures, backyard playtime, and running around with Lady (their adora-pup) like old friends. Between hanging out with Alyssa and her two daughters and all the fun outside, the dogs were clearly living their best lives. The steady stream of happy photos made it obvious they were having a blast and being so well cared for. We live 35 mins away from Dane and Alyssa, and the distance didn't bother us because we know our pup will be in good hands. We will book again and again!”
“Dylan was a perfect fit! He is great at communicating with you, and makes the whole process smooth and easy. He is well versed in various breeds and enjoys their companionship. Our puppy was still learning, and Dylan was able to continue the process and schedule. I would highly recommend utilizing his services if you are in need of someone.”
