“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“Kevin and his partner were fantastic! They took excellent care of Edgar while I was gone, and pampered him to boot! Edgar was very sad to leave Kevin's side, and he had to be carried out.”
“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“Fantastic!! We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our two Yorkies received, and getting daily updates was a great comfort….will definitely use their service again!”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Maria is my go to. I can't speak highly enough of how great she is, how much my dog loves her, and how sad he is to leave the friends he makes. I am a repeat customer for good reasons.”

“Brenda is awesome. She gave our two pups the BEST weekend while we were gone. Brenda goes above and beyond, and we will 1,000% be calling her again. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Brenda!!”
“Ruslana did a wonderful job with our little Bear. He looked so happy and contented in all the pictures that she sent to us and we really appreciated her active care of him. Ruslana went above and beyond with Bear’s care. We had wanted Bear to be all cleaned up for Ruslana, so we had him bathed and groomed before dropping him off. The Groomer had shaved Bear’s face too closely and had scraped his skin. Ruslana was attentive to his needs and notified us very quickly. She proposed getting a cone to keep him from scratching so he could heal up. After talking this thru, she ordered the cone and cared for all his needs. We are extremely happy with all Ruslana did for our BearBear and would give her our highest possible recommendation. Sally and Doug Thimm 801-699-7507”

“Our dog has stayed with Shamaeka a couple times now and always has the best time with her and her dog! He was so excited when we dropped him off! Shamaeka always sends lots of videos and pictures and keeps us updated!”
“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”
“We love boarding our dog with Melissa and Allan!! We always get the most thoughtful updates and know that our dog is getting awesome care. They are always our first choice!”
“Jenny made our dogs feel so at home and gave updates to us while we were away. Leaving for 2 weeks internationally took alot of trust in those caring for our dogs. Jenny went over and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our vacation and didn't have to worry about our dogs. From enrichment activities, to walks, to cuddles, - our dogs couldn't have had it better. We would 100% have Jenny care for our dogs again. Thanks Jenny!”
“Our dog Bourbon stayed with Julie for 3 weeks while we were on vacation. Julie has been so great with Bourbon during his whole stay and we were able to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about him. We got constant update from Julie about Bourbon and we knew that Bourbon was in good hand. There was no other dog during that time at her place so we knew that Bourbon was getting full attention from Julie all the time. We are very satisfied with her care and would recommend her for anyone who needs someone to take care of their dog.”
“Kenny is the BEST! Our dog can be very anxious, but Kenny made him so comfy and feel so loved. We got great updates and a nice sleepy pup at pick up. Will absolutely be using him again! Thank you!!”

We can't thank her enough for the comfort of knowing how happy Kira was staying with her, her enormous and gentle lab, Bear, and other new friends.

I found her profile on Rover and reached out because she looked like she would be amazing with animals. She sent me the cutest pictures and was so sweet with them! I have one cat who is scared of most people. She let Alyssa love all over her. I love knowing I have someone I trust to take care of my babies while I’m gone. I am so thankful for her!”

About: For 30 years I’ve been an animal lover and I’ve worked with animals throughout my life!

I also worked 5 summers as a horseback riding instructor and have worked in many other outdoor and environmental education programs. I love getting to know every dog’s unique personality and I am confident that I can work with any dog’s special needs, whether medical or behavior related. I appreciate that the connection and relationships we build with non-human animals are unlike any other and should be cherished! I am currently guiding backpacking trips at different points in the summer, but outside of that I am fully available for quality furbaby care services! I would love to take your dog on walks in their neighborhood, at the dog park, or even on hikes depending on your preference! I am comfortable and confident with all types of dogs and special needs, whether medical or behavioral. I can also furbabysit small dogs in my home with my friendly pup, Cedar! I always treat every furbaby with the same respect, care, and attention I would give to my own pup!

“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi.

We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. From a young age, my parents taught me how to raise, train, and care for dogs, including training wilderness search & rescue dogs. Over the years, I've cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic young puppies to beloved senior pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they're away from home. Our own dog, Merlin, gets two walks every day, rain or shine, and we believe every dog deserves that same level of attention and care. When your dog stays with us, you can feel confident knowing they'll receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. We treat every dog in our care the way we'd want someone to treat a member of our own family. I work from home on a contract basis and take care of our daughter throughout the day so I can devote as much time as needed to ensuring your pet gets all the love and attention to their needs as they deserve. I have a small fenced yard and some extra dog crates if needed. Merlin and I need two walks a day through baseball fields and forest near our house and I will bring your dog along too. I can also do more walks with them if needed. I can also visit or stay in your home. Your dog will be our guest and we pride ourselves in keeping a clean home for pets.
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“We are so grateful to Celia and her wonderful family for taking care of our dog. They are so positive and loving. Tesla came home excited and obviously well cared for. I really don’t want to leave a review and have Celia‘s business fill because we will be bringing Tesla back on a weekly basis. They are the best dog sitters we’ve ever had.”
About: We had a lot of dogs growing up in my family, basic command, hygiene and just love to have them around including my service dog. I usually walk my dog in the mornings and evenings, this will help me and my dog socializing and also doing some exercise during the walks. I take her to the park to play and sometimes to swim a little bit. I have my paperwork where I usually ask about any allergies, incapacity or any behavior that I need to be aware. What are the things they are allowed to eat and how many times they go out during the day. Basically pet care for me is on daily bases. Follow a healthy and comfortable routine for you and your doggo is important. Good food, exercise and socialization is the main key. For both of the locations I create an area with familiar smells, toys and treats. Provide long walks, play time and potty breaks as well.

“Abby was on time and remembered how to navigate our house, locks, gates and things after the pre-visit. Luke looked happy to see her and get his walk on. Appreciate her helping us out with this last minute walk!”
About: I am good with a number of pets, I've worked with both conventional furry pets and even feathered and scaly ones, although the scales I definitely have less experience with. I've looked after people's pets plenty of times in the past, both dogs and cats. I much prefer medium or small dogs since I am a small person, but if the large dog is a gentle giant I will certainly consider it. I can work around your schedule quite well, I am very flexible! Weekdays are easy, weekends might need some negotiating but I am open to it. I own a very nervous and anxious cat, so I cannot take overnights sadly. I care for pets as if they are little people. Pets are wonderful companions for life and deserve to be cherished while we have them.
About: I was born into farming in northern Mississippi. From an early age I have loved being around and enjoyed everything animal. Now my world is, my wife, my kids, and 4 felines that love our 2 chickens. As my kids are becoming adults, I have decided to offer my love and knowledge to keep me busy and allow ALL the other Pet parents some peace of mind, knowing they can take time for themselves and still know someone is lovingly caring for their pets AND property. I take great pride in being able to follow your routine to ensure everyone on the property doesn't receive anything less than what they are accustomed to. Emergency, work,or leisure, you can be assured I'll do everything to ensure the only thing they miss is you! I am a small business owner. I am usually involved in food events most weekends but am able to accommodate stays weekly or as much as a full month with advanced notice. My business is a small family ran one and we tend to cover each other time wise easily so that I can focus on your care. While in your home, we treat it as ours. We do all daily chores as per your request. Recieve and sign for packages, trash and recycle. Mail recovery.

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

“Fantastic experience for mom (while traveling) and fur baby (home, waiting…) for a long weekend away. Alex did a wonderful job with our pup who was thrilled with her daily outings to her favorite parks and daily updates. Already booked for our next vacation and so happy knowing our dog is in excellent hands!”
About: I have been around animals since childhood when I helped my family raise and take care of our chickens, two calico cats, turtle, rabbit, and parakeets. But I always wanted a puppy... Fast forward to adulthood, I helped my sister raise her mixed-breed puppy and shortly after moving away I got one of my own, a German Shepherd. I have raised and trained her since 10 weeks old and am well versed in any activities that your dog needs to stay stimulated, from training to walking to playing games and fetch. I work from home so I can be fairly flexible with scheduling but would appreciate a day or two of lead time if possible. Thanks! I am comfortable getting your dog in and out of their crate as well as in and out of the house, or in and out of the car (if requested/needed).
About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.
About: **Pet Care Experience** I deeply care for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and amphibians, especially those who struggle with fear, anxiety, or past traumas. With 25 years of personal caregiving experience and 15 years of dedicated training in animal husbandry, I have devoted my life to understanding and nurturing all kinds of animals, whether they are beloved pets or cherished farm companions. My approach is rooted in modern, scientifically-proven training methods that prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle redirection, and fear-free handling. I am committed to building trust, confidence, and safety in every interaction, and I truly believe in meeting each animal where they are emotionally, honoring their unique pace and individual needs. Above all, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where every interaction is restorative, joyful, and filled with unconditional love and patience. I understand the journey of coming out of your shell, and I strive to provide a calm, safe space where animals can heal, trust, and ultimately thrive. I also have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and adapting my care to meet special needs. Whether your animal needs gentle reassurance or playful companionship, I am here to offer compassionate, personalized care that respects and supports their unique journey. Pet care is a significant part of my life, and I have set aside time in my schedule to provide attentive and compassionate care on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I am available Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For an additional fee, I am also available to work on Wednesdays through Fridays starting after 9:00 a.m. I offer flexibility on weekends if extra care is needed, as well as overnight stays and holiday care upon request. By focusing my care on these specific days, I can give each animal my full attention, patience, and love, ensuring a positive and supportive experience every time we are together. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their environment. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I prioritize creating a calm, structured, and positive space tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy enrichment activities such as lick mats, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard with 6+ foot tall fences for safe outdoor play and private areas where dogs can rest undisturbed if they need a break from other animals. Every animal is welcome on the couch for snuggles and is encouraged to feel at home. I utilize gentle, positive reinforcement and maintain clear, consistent routines to help pets feel secure. For animals with fear, anxiety, or a history of trauma, I prioritize slow introductions, patience, and fear-free handling to build trust at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring that pets' surroundings remain familiar and stress-free. I follow instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and behavior protocols closely, maintaining consistency and safety. I am also attentive to environmental safety—checking gates, securing leashes, and removing hazards—and I communicate regularly with pet parents to provide peace of mind. My goal is always to provide gentle, reliable care that fosters trust and confidence in both pets and their humans.

“Matt took good care of Clio while I was traveling internationally. He was great at communicating and shared photos and videos throughout the stay. It helped me deal with missing my pup and feeling good that she was enjoying herself with the pack. Having his dogs and others to play with, and a dog-friendly environment (home and yard) was great.”
“Fantastic! Lauren and Ryan cared for our dogs like they were one of their own. The dogs had so much fun they didn't want to go home. Lauren provided lots of pictures and updates every day. I liked that our dogs were able to socialize with their dogs in a big backyard. Our dogs settled right in with Lauren and Ryan after a long day of play and fun.”
“Super thanks for everything with Boarding Cooper for 4 overnight stays in your home. Love that you have a fenced backyard, providing him with safe space to play and enjoy the outdoors.”
“Ashley was absolutely incredible with our energetic puppy! She spoiled him with attention and play throughout the whole stay. The daily updates and photos were wonderful and she was extra flexible when our flight home was delayed. Will absolutely book her again!”
“Conor was great with our pup! He came home happy and tired! Conor worked with Loki on a lead, as he has always been a stronger puller, and we are very impressed by the effort and time he put in to care for our pup. We definitely recommend Conor's services.”
“Celia has kept my dog Penny twice now and had been great both times. She's easy to communicate with and I can tell the amount of love that Penny receives from her and her family and her cute dog Milo. I highly recommend her!”
