“They accepted my booking on short notice and were very responsive when I had questions. Crystal sent photos and updates. I would definitely have them watch our dog again.”
“Eileen and Jeff are fantastic sitters. We never once worried about our dog because she would send updates and pics each day. They have watched my dog several times and it’s always been a great experience. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was great with our sweet shih tzu! She was prompt with getting back to us and always kept us updated on our pup while we were away. She was even freshly bathed when we picked her up. I highly recommend Amanda!”
“Leslie was outstanding with my older dog, Ginger. She took picures and sent me text messages to let me know how she was doing. So pleased with her care that I booked a second stay next month!”
“We are so thankful for May's exceptional care of Ava. She sent us daily photos and updates, took Ava on multiple walks, and was patient with her "retrieving" tendencies. Knowing Ava was so well taken care of made our vacation stress-free. We will definitely book with May again!”
“Heather was amazing. She is an excellent communicator and gave regular updates. After a week, my dog had clearly bonded with her so I will definitely look to use her in the future.”
“Emily was really fantastic - great communication, she was awesome about keeping me updated and my dog seemed to have a blast making friends with her pups. Would happily recommend her!”
“Georgia was the best! She took excellent care of my girls. She was quick to respond with any of my initial questions and was very easy to talk to and explain some of the quirks my girls can have. Great communication (and pics) of my girls the whole time I was away. My girls came home happy and tuckered out from playing with her pups, getting lots of snuggles, and running around in her big beautiful yard. I’m so lucky to have found her on short notice to care for my girls while I was away! Truly a gem! Thank you Georgia! I really appreciate you!”
“Alton and Val and their daughters are always so happy to watch after my doggy. And My dog is excited to go there. Happiness play days at their home. Thank you”
“Here’s a warm, concise Rover review: We had a great experience! She was so sweet and caring with Cocopuff and was very flexible with our travel schedule. We even forgot to pack his food, and she was incredibly accommodating and made everything easy. We felt he was in great hands and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“It was our first time using the Rover App and having someone watch Roman that he wasn’t already familiar with. We were a bit nervous, but Jeniel made it all very easy! She sent photos and was really easy to communicate with throughout! Would recommend for sure!”
“We dropped off Ziggy for the weekend after a visit to the vet where we left with four medications, a cone and a bloody paw. Philip didn't flinch. (He was two minutes from where I was visiting my mom, so we could have been there if anything had come up.) We didn't get a lot of updates, but we came back to a dog who seemed happy, and better yet, hadn't been chewing on his paw. Highly recommend.”
“Outstanding dog sitting experience with Cheryl! Excellent communication, meticulous care, and went above and beyond to keep my furry friend happy. Highly recommended! I returned home to a content and relaxed pup, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you”
“I’m so thankful for Zachary and his wife! Our Luna has been a bit depressed since her stroke a few years ago but after coming home from doggy daycare with them she way spunky, happy, and is even spending more time outside with a smile whereas it was difficult to get her to enjoy much time outside before as she would want to go back into the house or wouldn’t leave the back porch much. I’m so happy to see her rolling in the dirt and playing now. This means the world!!! She requires a lot of care and they did an excellent job even wrapping her foot really well and keeping it protected. We will definitely be going back and I look forward to her having another fun visit in the future. Thank you both so much and we will see you soon!”
“Kelly was fantastic! She sent pics everyday and a small update or observation on our dogs . They were cuddled and cared for. She was very accommodating when had need to change the pick up time. I highly recommend her !”
“Fantastic service with Kayla. I've already booked ahead for some future trips. Teddy and Mochi got along like two peas in a pod, and Kayla sent plenty of updates for a helicopter dog mom like myself. I highly recommend her services.”
“Brooke did a fantastic job with our pup! It was our first time having to board Bingo and she made us feel right at ease! She sent us updates everyday with photos and videos and gave us feedback on our pup as well. I would definitely recommend Brooke and I will continue to bring Bingo here for our boarding needs!”
“Tiana did great boarding our lab Sadie. She was very informative sending texts, videos and pictures daily of updates. Sadie was very happy when we picked her up which was great knowing she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Tiana boarding your pet!”

“Claire was great with our three kitties! Especially with her skill and willingness to give insulin injections to our one diabetic boy! She was prompt, responsive and provided great feedback about her drop in visits. Highly recommend her!”
“Megan did a wonderful job of taking care of our cat Riley while we were away for the weekend and I’m super short notice! She fed her, replaced water, gave her liquid oral medication, played with her, sent photos to us, and scooped litter. Came back to a happy healthy kitty. 10/10.”
“Ven is a great sitter! I was really nervous about leaving my cat with a sitter because she is a bit shy and needed daily medication, but Ven did so amazing with her. They stayed in communication with me and didn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I would absolutely recommend Ven to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
“Macie house-sat and cared for our kitty Jasper while we were away for a week. It was amazing to have her and Jasper loved her! She sent regular updates and pics, kept Jasper on his usual routine, and left the house absolutely spotless. I was able to relax while away knowing that everything was well cared for. Thank you Macie!!!!”
“Jordyn did drop-in visits to care for our kitty while we were away for the holidays. She kept us well-informed and made sure our cat was well taken care of! Highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Marbel is a trouble cat rescue who is still calming down. She wants to be sweet but can strike out. I provided cautions and said where she's doing well. Valerie did a great job taking care of her, litter box was clean and images provided for each visit. I'm very pleased.”
“Meaghan did a wonderful job house-sitting for our cat. Because a previously arranged sitter had to cancel abruptly, this was a last-minute booking and Meaghan was flexible and accommodating to our travel schedule. She communicated frequently and responded to messages right away. Updates were sent often with some cute pictures. It was evident that she spent time playing with our cat and keeping him comfortable while we were away. We are very happy and impressed.”

About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and grew up with multiple cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for different personalities and temperaments. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ cats while they were away, making sure they stayed on their usual routines and received plenty of attention and care. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and playful, while others prefer their space. My goal is to make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals and have cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. Being around animals has always brought me joy, and I love giving them the attention, affection, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's playtime, walks, or simply relaxing together, I'm always happy to provide a loving cuddle buddy for your pet. I am currently finishing up my collage degree and will typically be gone Monday-Friday 8am to 4:30pm. I am available all day Saturdays and Sundays. I will follow the client's care instructions carefully to ensure both the pet and the client are comfortable throughout the duration of my service. I will maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, medication (if applicable), and any special care requirements. I will also provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment, communicate any concerns or updates promptly, and treat the client's home and pet with the utmost respect and care. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate service that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while giving clients peace of mind.
About: From human babies to cats, bearded dragons and beyond, I'm excited to meet you and your pet! I've always loved animals, especially dogs, cats, and reptiles. Caring for your furry (and not so furry!) loved ones brings me lots of joy and is how I wish I could spend every day. I'm eager to please and find I'm available for daily drop ins for potty and feedings, or spending more time with your pet in the evenings while you work late. Also available for overnights up to a week, staying in your home so your animal is most comfy! I love taking relaxing walks and playing fetch, or playing in your fenced yard enjoying the warm weather. I can administer pills and monitor health conditions, and can provide physical assistance for small dogs and cats with mobility issues, like getting up and down furniture. I'm open and eager to learn administering other medication types if you are comfortable teaching! Anxious and shy pets warm to me easily, and so do senior dogs and cats! I have open availability during the summer months as I work for the school district. I want to spend my time loving and caring for your pet/s, so please let me know what your needs are and I'll do everything I can to make it work! After summer, I work part-time during the day, so I can stop by mid-morning to let dogs out to potty and play, and my evenings/weekends are open. I want to be best friends with your pet, so knowing their favorite treats and keeping their routine consistent is important to me. I promise to care for your baby like my own.
“Halinah was easy to work with from the get go. Quick communication and excellent follow up. She asked a lot of questions to ensure proper care of our pets. Was on time, sent pictures and was very caring. Will absolutely hire again.”
About: Hello! My name is Patricia and I have been caring for pets for over twenty years; therefore I passionately understand the importance of proper care for the kitties in your family. I focus on curating experiences for each pet, based on their individual needs. I am professional, reliable and have additional references to provide, if desired! I am a very active individual, usually covering 15 miles per day. I am centrally located in Spokane, and am willing to travel to you! I would be honored to give your pets a safe, fun and dependable experience while they are in my care.
About: I have owned lots of animals in my 30 years of life and currently have one very special 9yo mutt who is my world. I have experience with medical issues and am comfortable giving medications and caring for ill, injured or aging animals. I am also an avid walker! I adore kitties and am not bothered by the spicy ones. I had several cats growing up and have lived with or sat many more as an adult. My schedule is a bit random right now, but I have some flexibility that I'm hoping to maintain and will typically have the same schedule every week. I can't have dogs in my home since my dog doesn't always get along with others. He does great with cats, though, and has lived with 4 without issue. So I'm happy to host a cat as long as the cat is alright with dogs! My dog is very wary of cats and mostly just ignores them. I have multiple rooms in my apartment and would separate them when I'm away just as a precaution. I am happy to do home visits and have reliable transportation for such, but I would prefer not to do overnight stays so that my dog isn't alone :)

“Georgia was amazing with my dog! She was excellent with communication and easy to work with and very flexible with my schedule. I highly would recommend her. She treated my dog like family and took great care of him.”
“Hannah is simply the best! She watches our pup every week but in addition to that she watched him so we could go out on a date night. She loves our good boy like her own and it is just wonderful! 🥰”
“Teri did an exceptional job watching our dog, Rocket, for the day. She helped Rocket to feel comfortable with her home and backyard before slowly introducing her dogs. Once they were introduced they quickly became friends and had a great time playing together. Teri made sure to provide us with frequent pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing that our dog was being well taken care of. Her communication with us was always professional and we are happy to have chosen her to watch our dog and will definitely choose her in the future when we are in the area.”
“Our dogs are a little shy and usually somewhat stressed in unfamiliar surroundings but Jennifer and David provide a very loving and calm environment. They are our go-to sitters!”
About: I love animals of all kinds and am happy to take care for your pets. Your dogs and cats will be loved and cared for like they’re my own. I know the area well and my neighborhood is very dog friendly and safe for walking. I have experience taking care of animals with anxiety and that are recovering from surgery. Thank you for trusting me with your pets, Please let me know any special requests or needs you have for your animals or home. Currently on a job search so I’m not sure of my daily schedule in the future, but I won’t be working more than 8 hours at a time and most likely only 30 hours a week. For house sitting and boarding, I will at home as much as possible, with the exception of running necessary errands. I’ll do my best to keep your pet happy and comfortable, and stick to your pets routines i.e. walks, play time, feeding time etc. (I sometimes board more than one dog at a time but only with your express permission of both owners)
“Cheryl was amazing! She took great care of our dog Shelby, was very welcoming to our family, was great with communication throughout the day with messages and photos, and we are so grateful for her doggy daycare. We would highly recommend Cheryl to care for your dog and we will definitely be seeking her services again. Thank you Cheryl.”
“Mimi and her family took such wonderful care of our Velzy girl! From the moment we met I felt at ease and so did our pup. Velzy had the best time with Chester and they got along great!Lovely home with the best backyard. We will MOST DEFINITELY be booking again and again and again. Highly recommended! Thank you Mimi + fam!!! 🧡”
“Patricia is a dogs best friend and she honestly cares for them as if they are her very own. We hired her for 5 days and she was as more than amazing, and exceeded anything we could imagine. Seriously worth every dollar and honestly worth her weight in gold. So good at communicating and went above and beyond always seeing our dogs were taken real good care of. I mean it when I say we already miss her and wish she was a neighbor. I feel as if not only my 10yr old and 2yr old dogs have a friend, but that we have become friends too and I look forward to the next time we get to see her. Best sitter we could ever have found. We will see her again. If you are looking for quality Patricia is the one. I have never met such an amazing full of energy conscious individual. Look no further.”
“We left Jack with Haley & Audriana while visiting from out of town. He had a wonderful time! The house is nice and in a nice neighborhood with a comfortable, fenced back yard that offered shade on a hot day. We will definitely look them up when we come into town next time!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and love dogs! I am a hands on care giver and make sure the pets are happy and healthy. I work remotely so I am home all day with my 12-year-old boy and a 5-year-old Schnoodle, Coco. My daughter is pre-med at WSU and is often home to help as well. Coco is current with all vaccines, spayed, and loves furry friends visiting! I have a fenced yard that is wide open for lots of fun playing. I also take daily walks with the dogs so they get to smell the news!
“I had an exceptional experience with Amanda and Justin. My wife and I were visiting Spokane for three days during a heatwave, and needed daycare for Casey. They did a terrific job, especially introducing Casey to their larger dogs and communicating via text and the Rover app. We felt completely comfortable leaving Casey in their very capable hands.”
“Had such a great experience ! It’s sometimes hard to travel and have someone watch your dog without worrying but right away I knew it was going to be a good day for Milo! Milo and their dog Paisley are besties from the start! The two dogs were so good together! Milo was a happy boy when I picked him up! I come to Spokane for work and will be using them every time :) can’t thank them enough for giving my boy attention and play time while I work”
“Genevieve was a lifesaver and took Maeve in for a last minute doggie daycare request. She allowed us to see where Maeve would be hanging out and meet her other dogs. We got updates on how it was going and Maeve looked so happy! They took her on a hike & let her play in the water. Their home, with a large yard and doggie door, was the perfect fit for Maeve. And she was wiped out when she got home. We are so happy we found Genevieve!”
About: I have experience in dogs when it comes to what they can and can't eat. I have experience when it comes to medicine And a lots more. I know to be cautious around other dogs and people. I know not to let them chew on things they shouldn't chew on. I know not to let the eat things off the ground. I know to let them warm up to you first so they aren't scared of you or aggressive to you. I know that they gotta go outside very often so they can use the restroom and play and run off some energy I also know that dogs love toys to play with and even when we play with them and show them love and attention.
“Velma was wonderful! We were going to be in town for the weekend and needed a place for our pup one of the days. Velma was willing to video chat in order to have a “face to face” prior to setting the booking, since we are not in her local area. She was flexible as our schedule changed and was able to accommodate the change. She was great with our senior dog, and she really seems to care and enjoy her furry guests! We hope to be able to utilize her services again!”
“Lance was absolutely amazing. Not only did my gigantic pup love him, but he was so fantastic to work with from the pet parent side. When my schedule went a little sideways, he was not only accommodating, but beyond gracious. If I find myself back in the area, I'll definitely look to rebook. Thank you, Lance, for everything!”
About: I’m two years dogless and I truly miss the companionship and the joy that dogs bring to daily life. Joining Rover is my way of getting back into the "dog world"—offering your pets the same dedicated love, patience, and attention I gave my own for over a decade. What I Offer: • Senior Care Knowledge: Having cared for a dog through his final years, I am very comfortable with senior pups and slow walks. Don’t think I don’t love puppies too! • A "Dogs-First" Home: Since I don't currently have a pet, your dog will be the "only child" and get 100% of my attention. • Lifelong Intuition: I understand that every dog has a unique personality, from high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. My home office is "dog-friendly," and I love having a furry coworker at my feet (or on the sofa!) throughout the day. What a day with me looks like: • Constant Supervision: Because I’m at my desk, I can offer frequent potty breaks and immediate attention whenever your pup needs it. • Structured Breaks: I use my lunch and mid-afternoon breaks for neighborhood walks, games of fetch, or just some quality backyard time. • Active "Face Time": I don't just sit in another room; I enjoy the companionship of dogs while I work. Whether your dog prefers to nap quietly nearby or needs occasional head scratches between my meetings, I’m here for it. • Flexible Needs: If your dog has a specific medication or feeding schedule that requires midday attention, my WFH setup makes that easy to accommodate. My home is a quiet, hazard-free sanctuary designed for stress-free stays. • Safety First: No other pets or children in the home—perfect for anxious or selective dogs. • Open Communication: Expect frequent "pupdates" and photos throughout the day. • Expert Handling: I am comfortable with senior care, medication, and following strict house rules.
About: I have had a dog ever since I can remember and I am 69 yrs old. I have TIME and am reliable, because I am retired. I made sure my kids grew up with a dog and now they have my grand dogs which I love to babysit. I lost my last dog (he was 14) in 2018 and I knew I was going to retire (and travel) in 2021 so now I have my grand dogs and all my friends dogs to babysit and get my fix. I also have volunteered for Path of Hope rescue since I retired. I have a medium sized doggie door out to a wonderful patio and yard fully fenced with 6 ft high vinyl fence. I love dogs so much. They are just the most loving, gentle, and FUN animals put on this earth. I am a walker, so all dogs that stay at my house get walked everyday, with a ton of love and affection. I am going to start Rover on Jan. 2026!!!! I am retired, so I would love to walk your dogs during the day for you. (I am a daily walker anyway :) so why not?) If they stay with me, my home is perfect with a fenced yard, medium sized doggie door (but I do love and will have larger dogs too) and they will get a lot of love and attention. While I prefer crate trained dogs, it does not mean they would be in their crate during the day unless you say it is needed if I leave the house. If not crate trained I would be okay if they are a very well trained dog :) My home is just me, so dogs will get that one on one attention. I am retired so I can accommodate any feeding/walking schedules that are needed.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats, including my own, for as long as I can remember. I have trained my pets as well as other's in basic obedience. I like to study dog psychology and I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from tiny-huge and fearful-calm temperaments. My favorite breeds to care for are large breeds, most specifically breeds like pitties, mastiffs, and dobermans, but I love all dog breeds too and love how every dog has their own unique personality. I've also cared for cats doing volunteer work and have 2 of my own. I'm currently available anytime of the week all year besides the few times per year that I travel. I am working to potentially have a career with dogs. For care in the client's home, I will do whatever is instructed to me to be done for the pet. I am good at reading dog body language and understanding their needs. I've cared for fearful/avoidant dogs and hyper/clingy dogs alike. I am not able to provide care in my own home since I live with family and own 2 rescue cats.
“Vanessa took excellent care of my dogs for me and they loved going on a walk with her! They really enjoyed her and were completely comfortable with hanging out with her. Definitely will book again in the future!”
About: Hello! My name is Claire and I want to meet your pet! I am new to Rover but am an experienced pet sitter and care provider. I have grown up, spent time with, and cared for many different types of animals in my life, and I have loved each one. I have experience with all kids of pets, from large to small, from puppies and kittens to seniors, with a wide range of personalities, activity levels, medical needs, and all those adorable little quirks that make your pet special. Does your precious baby dog need a kiss on the head and to be tucked in before bed? Easy. Does your fancy pants cat require a spotless litterbox every time? No problem. Do I need to put on a show and act like I "cooked" a gourmet kibble meal for them every time? Done. I am very comfortable assisting with any medication needs for your animal and helping train/reinforce any training regimen you may have as well. Let me go above and beyond for your pet! I currently have very open availability and I have time to focus on Rover as my primary responsibility. I am able to commit to a regular schedule of pet care. While I am unable to host your animal in my home due to the fact that I rent, I am more than happy to travel to the environment where your pet feels the most comfortable: your home and neighborhood. I am more than happy to follow any rules and routines you may have.
“Brittany was absolutely fabulous! We needed someone to give our dog some love each afternoon while we were out of the country. Brittany was great at sending pictures and we saw that our dog was very happy! Thank you so much Brittany! We will definitely use you again!”

About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life; from active labs to precocious cocker spaniels to mutts with needs, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need while you’re away. I’m flexible with all play styles and feeding habits, all while staying firm against begging for food we can’t have and keeping a close eye on problem behaviors such as digging or pillow ripping. I love all kinds of dogs, from hyperactive to couch potatoes, malamutes to chihuahuas, puppies to senior dogs. I’ll be sure to keep your fluffy friends entertained and well kept while you’re away! As for walking, I always strive to make sure your four legged friend has their share of exercise and fresh air. My time is currently open to weekdays from 6 am to 11 pm. I’m happy to check on your pets multiple times a day to keep up with their schedules, and am happy to follow plans as needed. I do my best to follow any instructions provided for your pet. I’m happy to play, take pets outside into yards or for walks in the neighborhood to get their energy out, feed them on their schedules, and visit multiple times a day to keep your pet happy and entertained. I have a preference for crate trained dogs, but for those more well-behaved, I have no qualms. As for cats, I’m happy to keep quiet and leave them to their own pace, letting myself be available to them while not invading their space.
About: I have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including grooming, basic training, and pet sitting. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I was actively involved with my local humane society in Arizona where I fostered multiple litters of puppies as well as dogs with complex trauma backgrounds, helping them build trust, confidence, and readiness for their furever homes. That experience taught me patience, calm handling, and how to read animal body language closely. I also have two kitty boys of my own and have helped care for several new litters, so I’m very comfortable with kittens and multi-cat households. At home I have a very friendly, well-socialized Australian Cattle Dog who is also my trained service animal. She has excellent manners, is welcoming around other animals, and has helped me deepen my understanding of structure, training, and positive reinforcement. I truly love animals and treat every pet like family, focusing on safety, comfort, and individualized care. I’m a small business owner, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to intentionally build pet care into my daily routine. I plan my days so I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Working with animals has always been something that fills my cup, and I’ve really missed having that regular connection with pets. Now that I’ve moved to a more populated area and have more flexibility, I’m excited to work with animals again and support my community in a way that I’m naturally good at. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I love building trust with animals and creating a calm, positive experience for them while their owners are away. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and tailored to each animal’s needs and routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets feel safe and comfortable with familiar schedules, feeding times, and boundaries. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal environment and keep things consistent. I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and calm companionship. I also send updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and structured environment with plenty of supervision. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I prioritize slow introductions and compatibility if other animals are present. My home is pet-friendly and calm, with space to relax as well as engage in enrichment and play. Overall, I focus on safety, communication, and making sure each pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for while their family is away.
About: - Grew up in the country surrounded by dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, and other farm animals my whole life. - I’ve house sitted for family friends dogs and plants - I highly prioritize communication and safety on both sides I’m very available at the moment as I just graduated. I am happy both to set up a reoccurring service or stay flexible from week to week over the summer. I can’t keep animals in my apartment, but I am physically and mentally capable of the challenges regarding pets like crates, leashes, exercise/play, differences in personalities, and minor discipline if wanted.
About: I have spent time around animals my whole life, I assisted with training service dogs for a couple years, so I have lots of experience training and walking and love spending time with animals! I work full time overnight, so I have a lot of free time during the day and can meet most schedules you will have! I am willing to do overnights on my weekends! I am mainly here for dog walking but am willing to house sit if you need and my schedule allows it! So I will tend to your dog/cat however you need!
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I always strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs. I’ve also administered medications to my own dogs when needed and always follow care instructions carefully. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. I also rescued one of my own dogs, which gave me experience helping an adult dog adjust to a new home, build confidence, and replace unwanted habits with positive behaviors through patience and consistent training. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog prefers a relaxing walk or an active adventure, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If I’m providing house sitting, I just ask for about two hours each day to care for and exercise my own dogs while my husband is at work. Outside of that, I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or house sitting, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care while doing my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’d also be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’m a big animal lover. I got my first dog 5 years ago, and trained her by myself. I love training, teaching dogs fun new tricks, going on walks and just showing all the love to any and all animals. I work a full time job. But work from home on Mondays and some Fridays. If you are comfortable with me being gone for 8 hours during the week, I’m your gal! My puppy, Mochi, would love a buddy to play with while I’m gone. I have a big, fenced back yard, lots of dog toys, and a very friendly pup who loves all dogs. I have watched and trained many of my friends dogs, so I have ample of experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds.
About: I've always had dogs in my family, including several rescue dogs which has been super rewarding. My husband and I have been fortunate to be able to retire early but we are both very active. I want to spend my spare time doing something productive that I love... caring for dogs is a perfect fit! Most of my time is spent at my home and in our back yard. I have 2 dogs that are very social and love spending time with other dogs. They will enjoy having play-dates with your dog(s). I believe that every dog deserves to be valued and loved. I limit the dogs I board to a maximum of 4 dogs at a time in order to ensure that each dog will get proper care and attention. I don't work outside of the home. If I need to run an errand or go shopping, my husband is typically home to care for the digs. Dogs are rarely left alone, but if they are, it is for no longer than 2 to 3 hours. When the weather is nice, we keep the sliding door open so that the dogs can hang out indoor or outdoors, wherever they feel most comfortable. During the colder months we let the dogs out every two to four hours. We don't crate dogs unless that's what they're used to. We allow dogs on our furniture and in our bed.
“Genevieve was THE BOMB watching our pup. She took lots of pictures, and clearly gave him all the love and attention he needed. She even took him home one day to play with her pups, which she of course did not have to do. Puck had a great time with her, and we would love to have her watch him again!”
“Valarie is a fantastic caretaker to your pet in any capacity. Rest assured if your a pet owner you will admire the expertise Valerie brings to your dog. Please take this message as a ticket for any pet owner to utilize when there away from their pets.”
About: I believe that like people, meeting dogs where they're at and fulfilling their individual needs is so important! I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments, from high energy buddies to low energy love-bugs and everything in between. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, shy, avoidant dogs, and dogs with aggressive behavioural tendencies. Every dog deserves love, affection, and care, and I can't wait to meet yours! I am currently working part time, and my availability is wide. So, I have plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pups. Every dog is different, and it can be stressful to some when their humans are away. I believe that making sure they are relaxed, happy, and comfortable is key. I look forward to getting to know and spend time with your dog!
“Velma is a loving dog walker. She is very reliable, always shows up on time and always kept me informed as to whether my dog had pooped during his twice daily walks which I very much appreciated. My dog got excited and always looked forward to his walks with Velma. We will both miss her. I can't recommend her enough.”
About: I worked in dog grooming for a decade, and I do miss the dogs, often. I will be happy to help regardless of breed or size. I have open availability in my schedule. I work with many different service partners, and can easily adjust my schedule, with proper notice, of course. Dogs will be played with, of course! I will run them, depending on age and whether they like that. Feed them, walk them. Cats will get nozzles and pets

“Leslie was outstanding with my older dog, Ginger. She took picures and sent me text messages to let me know how she was doing. So pleased with her care that I booked a second stay next month!”
“We are so thankful for May's exceptional care of Ava. She sent us daily photos and updates, took Ava on multiple walks, and was patient with her "retrieving" tendencies. Knowing Ava was so well taken care of made our vacation stress-free. We will definitely book with May again!”
“Heather was amazing. She is an excellent communicator and gave regular updates. After a week, my dog had clearly bonded with her so I will definitely look to use her in the future.”
“Emily was really fantastic - great communication, she was awesome about keeping me updated and my dog seemed to have a blast making friends with her pups. Would happily recommend her!”
“Georgia was the best! She took excellent care of my girls. She was quick to respond with any of my initial questions and was very easy to talk to and explain some of the quirks my girls can have. Great communication (and pics) of my girls the whole time I was away. My girls came home happy and tuckered out from playing with her pups, getting lots of snuggles, and running around in her big beautiful yard. I’m so lucky to have found her on short notice to care for my girls while I was away! Truly a gem! Thank you Georgia! I really appreciate you!”
“Here’s a warm, concise Rover review: We had a great experience! She was so sweet and caring with Cocopuff and was very flexible with our travel schedule. We even forgot to pack his food, and she was incredibly accommodating and made everything easy. We felt he was in great hands and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“It was our first time using the Rover App and having someone watch Roman that he wasn’t already familiar with. We were a bit nervous, but Jeniel made it all very easy! She sent photos and was really easy to communicate with throughout! Would recommend for sure!”
“We dropped off Ziggy for the weekend after a visit to the vet where we left with four medications, a cone and a bloody paw. Philip didn't flinch. (He was two minutes from where I was visiting my mom, so we could have been there if anything had come up.) We didn't get a lot of updates, but we came back to a dog who seemed happy, and better yet, hadn't been chewing on his paw. Highly recommend.”
“Outstanding dog sitting experience with Cheryl! Excellent communication, meticulous care, and went above and beyond to keep my furry friend happy. Highly recommended! I returned home to a content and relaxed pup, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you”
“I’m so thankful for Zachary and his wife! Our Luna has been a bit depressed since her stroke a few years ago but after coming home from doggy daycare with them she way spunky, happy, and is even spending more time outside with a smile whereas it was difficult to get her to enjoy much time outside before as she would want to go back into the house or wouldn’t leave the back porch much. I’m so happy to see her rolling in the dirt and playing now. This means the world!!! She requires a lot of care and they did an excellent job even wrapping her foot really well and keeping it protected. We will definitely be going back and I look forward to her having another fun visit in the future. Thank you both so much and we will see you soon!”
“Kelly was fantastic! She sent pics everyday and a small update or observation on our dogs . They were cuddled and cared for. She was very accommodating when had need to change the pick up time. I highly recommend her !”
“Brooke did a fantastic job with our pup! It was our first time having to board Bingo and she made us feel right at ease! She sent us updates everyday with photos and videos and gave us feedback on our pup as well. I would definitely recommend Brooke and I will continue to bring Bingo here for our boarding needs!”
“Tiana did great boarding our lab Sadie. She was very informative sending texts, videos and pictures daily of updates. Sadie was very happy when we picked her up which was great knowing she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Tiana boarding your pet!”
“Wonderful!!! Kate is very communicative and easy going. She was very prompt and friendly in setting up a meet & great with my very excitable guy. I instantly felt very comfortable with Kate, her home and family. Getting a pic of my guy looking very comfortable with a message that all was well was very much appreciated. When picking up I could tell that my guy enjoyed himself. I am very grateful to have found someone I feel comfortable leaving my spaz with!! Thank you Kate!!!”
“I really appreciated Hannah's care of our Terrier boy! He had some challenges with separation anxiety and being around other dogs. But Hannah hung in there with him and took excellent care of him while we were gone. She has a lot of experience with dogs over the years and I had complete trust in leaving our little guy with her. She sent multiple pictures each day so I could see how he was doing. I highly recommend Hannah!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Lindsey and Leland’s care. They sent us a daily picture update and took our dog Maggie on lots of walks. It was evident that they enjoyed spending time with our dog. We will definitely use them again for future trips.”
“Always a lovely stay for our little Birdie with Teri and her family. We had some travel issues coming home and she was very accommodating and made a stressful situation, much less so.”
