“Our dog Oakley seemed to have loved his time with Julie and her family for the weekend. She has 2 dog which our dog seemed comfortable with after the meet and greet. She sent photos and videos of their adventures. Missed our pup for the weekend, but glad we got updates and knew he was in good hands. Also having some other pups to play with was great since he doesn't normally have that type of activities so I'm sure he enjoyed himself.”
“First time using Judy’s service and definitely would recommend. I booked her very last minute for the holiday weekend due to our original plans following through and she was quick to respond and help us out. I received lots of photos through Gus’s stay and updates. Gus was very happy throughout.”
“Danielle is so sweet and our pup, Laney had so much fun! She sent me updates and photos of what they were doing and was honest about other weekend obligations. We are really happy with how she cared for our dog and would highly recommend!!”
“Karen and Chris were great with our cat! He can be a bit annoying looking for attention but they were patient and he was spoiled and well cared for. Looking forward to booking with them again.”
“Lisa gave our coco excellent care over the weekend. She sent us updated photos as to how coco was doing during her stay with them. Coco had a blast!! Thank you Lisa for creating a safe, super fun weekend for our little coco. Coco can not wait to start doggy daycare by Lisa too!! If there were more than 5 stars I’d give them all to this pet sitter❤️❤️❤️”
“Amazing! Such a friendly and flexible host with nice dogs and a great yard! Our pup felt right at home. Would recommend to others and will definitely book again if in the area!”
“Rebecca and her family took such good care of our pets that we never had to worry that they were not loved & cared for. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm and friendly environment for their furry family member.”
“Boarding experience review) This is our first dog, and our first time using Rover, and Salena helped put ease to our mind! She sent pictures of our puppy and was really flexible to work with. Bale slept so good when he came home, and he looked like he had the best time! We will definitely be using her again! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Absolutely fabulous sitter and family! Ginger loved her stays with Anu and her family. Their dog Norah is the sweetest and was a great teacher for my young golden pup. I will definitely be booking in the future. Highly recommended!!??”
“Diane and Dale went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and care for Oliver. He fit right in with their dog, Lexi, enjoyed the walks around the pond and was well-loved. I highly recommend them!”
“Emma was awesome! She had our shetland sheepdog for over two weeks. We did a meet and greet to make sure everyone would get along. It went well and we were very comfortable leaving Nikki for a long time with Emma. Communication was fast for everything. Emma sent pics and an update almost everyday. Nikki was clearly enjoying herself. We would definitely have Emma dogsit Nikki again.”
“Frankie was amazing with Colt, he settled in nicely and enjoyed his stay there! Updates were provided on how he was doing and were quick to respond when I checked in.”
“Laura boarded Wiley for a weekend. Wiley was well taken care of and enjoyed her Yard. Wiley often has anxiety when we are gone but adapted to Laura and family nicely. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. Laura sent photos and communicated how Wiley was adapting. All went perfectly. I highly recommend Laura to watch your dog.”
“Halligan was so awesome and took care of our puppy this week. I got multiple updates, photos AND videos. It was so reassuring to know that Luna was with someone very caring and dependable. It made going on a work trip that much easier. Thank you, Halligan, so much! <3”
“This was my first time using Rover or just having my dog stay at someone's house. In the past with prior dogs I had used kennel services. I really didn't want to do that with Willow since she is a great Dane and I didn't want her to be cooped up in a kennel since I was going to be gone for 1 week. Willow had a great time and actually seemed a bit sad on our drive home. Dallas sent updates every other day which made me comfortable enough not to worry while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Dallas as a sitter and I plan on booking another stay”
“I never left Sadie before except with family. She is very attached to me and I was nervous to do this. Mary made me feel at ease about it, sending pictures of Sadie and showing me she would be fine. I really appreciated the stay Sadie had with Mary. I will definitely use this service again. Thanks Mary!”

“Thank you so much! We can tell from the photos you shared that Josie had a wonderful time playing outside and being spoiled with her treats! We will definitely reach out to have you watch our pup again!”
“Patty was great as always. I really appreciate that I can trust her with my babies. She sends great pictures and my skittish babies are even getting used to her instead of their usual stranger danger attitudes. I will always go to her first for my Rover needs.”
“My Ezzie loves people but tends to be shy at first. Lisa got her to come out, eat treats and get pets!! That says amazing things about Lisa. We kept in communication with pictures and texts. I never felt nervous. I would recommend Lisa to anyone that asks and will be using her in the future!!”
“When we had to be out of town all day, Alyssa was a godsend. She came over a couple times to let him out and play, and sent us the cutest photos of him having fun. We will definitely rebook with Allissa again!”
“Maria did a drop in visit with my pups and I felt good knowing they were in her care. She sent videos and photos and kept me posted about how they were doing. She even gave them fresh water. Would definitely book her again!”
“Mya was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she went above and beyond any expectations! She cared for my animals so well and kept me updated which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend.”
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11 for my friends, neighbors, and family. I have mainly cared for dogs but I love all animals and have experience with all kinds of pets! I am currently a student but I am available most afternoons and every weekend! I love animals and miss mine a lot at home so i'm hoping to find some great furry friends! I understand people have different needs with their pet, so I want to listen to them first about their pets needs and how they want me to take care of them. I do not have an area currently that I can watch dogs.
“I booked a drop-in visit with Courtney and she was great! She took my pups out for a potty break and made sure they were comfortable with enough water. She kept me posted with how the visit went and included photos. I'd definitely clbook her again!”
“Crystal was very nice at our Meet & Greet and made sure to take any important notes down. She followed all my pet care instructions perfectly & made sure my babies were taken good care of! I felt relaxed knowing that she had it all handled. I will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Salena did a fantastic job looking after my four cats. She communicated with me regularly to let me know how things were going and she took photos in which I could see for myself how my pals looked, and they all looked good. I would recommend her highly. I am totally and completely satisfied.”
“Robert is an excellent choice for taking care of any pet. Our cat is very shy and used to be very stressed when we left her in the care of others. Robert's calm demeanor and caring ways clearly reduce our cat's concerns and she's clearly calm and content with his regular visits to provide for her needs. We highly recommend Robert for kitty care!”

“Frankie was so nice. We met before the scheduled date. She gave a detailed and great description before the drop off time and made sure everything was fine. Riley came back happy.”
About: We recently lost our senior dog, so we have lots of doggy love available for your pet! I work from home, so your pet will get lots of attention, frequent visits to the backyard, and a walk at lunchtime. I work from home full time, so I'm here to interact with your pet and provide frequent breaks for play and potty. My boyfriend gets home from work in the late afternoon and will shower your pet with affection as well! I have a small, unfenced yard and will let your dog outside on a long lead to keep him/her safe and under my supervision. Your dog will have access to kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom, and up to 3 bedrooms. Basement will not be accessible.
“Emma was great, she went above & beyond to make sure Indagos stay was great! She's so good with him. I'm so thankful she likes him & Indago liked her. I was worried being a blue healer with lots of energy. Only God could provide such a great dog sitter for him. 💛🐕💛”
“You have a great place for a pup to hang out! Thank you for taking care of Duke, he must have had a great time because he’s all tuckered out! We hope you’re available next time we are in the area. Take care, and thanks!”
About: ☀️$35/night for bookings during August 1st-September 30th! Discount applied at booking. Does not include Rover's booking fees. Holidays discounted to $43/night. When your pup comes here, you can expect heart, home, and a whole lot of wholesome fun! 🐾💛 Our business model is built on trust, transparency, professionalism, and safety. We are also fully insured by a third party. ✔️ We have owned a dog all our lives! We currently have one dog, Sadie, who is the most affectionate hostess you could meet. 🥰 Between Bryan and Emily, hours are logged volunteering at the humane society, dog-sitting for large and small dogs alike, and experiencing all personalities. With over 15 years of personal experience pre-Rover and over 5 years on Rover, we treat dogs personally, as the individuals they are! Developing a personal understanding is our priority so that the dog feels comfortable and well-loved, even if mom or dad aren't there. The activities naturally follow! Our family favorites are long walks, visits to the dog park, and zoomies around the house. Our family can't wait to add your dog to our fluffy circle of friends! We have one toddler. We have enough space to keep her separate from the dogs we take on and take every precaution to promote complete safety. Regardless, we do require all dogs to be tolerant of children as a baseline precaution! (*PLEASE NOTE* Dogs MUST be friendly with other dogs and children. A meet and greet is required prior to any new bookings. Due to the fact we want to accommodate daycare and boarding clients, we require as a prerequisite that your dog be good with other dogs as there may be times they overlap. We take every precaution to keep any overlapping dogs separate unless/until we are 100% confident they will be safe and friendly buddies! We will also *always* ask first about your comfort level with overlapping bookings! For new clients, overlapping is avoided if at all possible. Sometimes, it just happens, be it a few hours of daycare or a pickup/drop off. Thank you for understanding.) Emily is a stay at home mom. Bryan works a mile away and comes home for lunch! We try to make it a daily routine to fit a walk into the morning or the evening. Our schedules are extremely conducive to pet care! *EXPANSION COMING SUMMER 2026* A personal home environment with large kennel standards. ✨ Fully insured with policies built on trust. We live in the spacious upper unit of the duplex we own. Our home is dog-proofed - everything edible is either well out of reach or, in the case of our trash can, has a child lock. Our yard is not fenced in (soon to change, stay tuned!) so we ensure our dogs are securely leashed before exiting. Currently, we max out at two dogs taken in at a time, only with explicit owner permission to overlap dogs from different households. When we expand in August '26, we will raise that to 4 with the ability to keep small dogs (30lbs and under) completely separate from large dogs, and keep all dogs separate from each other. We regularly clean and sanitize dog spaces and dishes! Emily and Bryan are experienced in dog behavior. We monitor all play very closely and keep dogs in separate rooms at meal times. Dogs are encouraged to join us on the couches and overall treated like family – minus the access to human food, of course, much to their chagrin. ;)
“We just started a recurring daycare session with Judy for our dog. So far I'm very pleased! The meet and greet was great, and Enzo has SO much fun at Auntie JuJu's house. I basically have to bribe him to come back home...where he immediately passes out from all the activity and fun he had during his day. I also love that I get a million photos and some videos while he's at daycare. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
“Meagan is a 10/10, would definitely recommend!! Meagan is an amazing dog sitter and gives us the peace of mind we needed. Our puppy, Finnegan, runs to her at drop off and has a fun-filled day with lots of indoor and outdoor activity with built in rest time as well. Meagan is extremely mindful and takes the best care of our puppy.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been involved in their daily care including feeding, walking, and playtime. As a former college athlete, I’m very active and dependable, and would love to take your dog on walks and runs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will take care of your pet like it’s my own. I also have experience with off leash training! I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize your pet’s needs. As a former college athlete, I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and being dependable. I’m available throughout the day and can adapt to your pet’s specific schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I do not currently have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention.

I live in a quiet, residential area that is great for walks, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and your pet’s comfort.
About: My husband and I have been watching dogs in our home for over 10 years. Our busy lives of work and family have always held us back from owning our own dog. To satisfy our love for dogs we started watching our friends and families dogs and over the years thru word of mouth we have started getting phone calls asking if we would take on more dogs and then joined Rover. We have experience with small to large dogs, dogs with special dietary needs, dogs that need to be able to run, dogs that want to sit on your lap, to dogs that have medical needs. We believe that dogs should be treated as part of the family. We allow them to sit on furniture, sleep in bed etc.. Our jobs have afford us the ability to be able to adjust our schedules to be flexible and have the option to work from home when we have a dog staying with us. This allows us to be home with your dog to ensure they are getting plenty of play time, outside time and lots of attention. It is very rare that your dog will be home alone for a period of time. Our home is your dogs home... we give the dogs full access to the house. We are non smokers and do not have any pets of our own or small children. We walk the dogs twice a day and have an acre of land that dogs are free to roam, run and play -we like to play ball and tug a rope. We do provide a ground stake with a leash for those that like to run "free". We have ability to work from home and have very flexible schedules when needed. Which in turn allows us to very rarely leave your dog home alone We treat the dogs just as if they were our very own pet.. as part of the family. They have free range of the house .. on the furniture and beds.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even the more unique critters! I have experience with animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. As a proud pet parent to two Great Danes, I understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. My top priorities are making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I’m a stay-at-home mom, and I work around my kids’ homeschooling schedule. That means I’m home throughout the day and night, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If your pet is staying with us for boarding, they’ll never be left alone—we’re always home, and your furry friend will be treated like part of the family. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday cuddles, or nighttime check-ins, I have the flexibility to meet your pet’s needs with love and consistency. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure environment where animals can relax and feel at home—whether I’m visiting your house or welcoming your pet into mine. I follow each pet’s unique routine and take time to understand their needs, behaviors, and preferences. I’m experienced with crates, medications, feeding routines, and even a little light training reinforcement if needed. In our home, your pet will be surrounded by love and never left alone—we’re always home, and your pet will get plenty of attention and care. I live with two gentle Great Danes and two calm, pet-friendly cats, all of whom are well-socialized and respectful of new guests. We keep our environment clean, peaceful, and low-stress to make every pet feel safe and welcome. I’m also happy to go the extra mile—whether that means watering your plants, bringing in packages, or keeping you updated with sweet photo messages. I truly care about your pets and your peace of mind.
“Our dog Dakota loves going to Jamie‘s daycare. Dakota does not have an off button but it’s nice to see him come home tired from a day at Jamie‘s. Annie, Jamie‘s Great Dane, is a very kind and gentle dog. Don’t let her appearance freight near. We will definitely be coming back for more stays in the future. Thank you Jamie and Annie!”
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
“Emily communicated great before and during our dog’s puppy daycare with her. Her and her husband were both super friendly and listened to our comments regarding our puppy. Our dog got along great with their dog, Ruby. This was a really great experience and I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8. I pay attention to all the pets that I care for. I also am very good at attending to dogs with anything they need. I am looking to do this full time and I am flexible with anyone’s schedule. I am home most of the time except to run errands. I have a big house and big yard that is fenced in. I live 5 minutes away from a big dog park. I also live with my mom and two of my siblings. There are four medium sized dogs that live in this house and enjoy playing with most other dogs.

About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with two years of professional experience, working in dog boarding and doggy daycare environments. During my time in professional boarding and daycare, I developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and group dynamics. I learned how to safely manage dogs of all sizes temperament and energy levels while ensuring each dog felt comfortable safe and well cared for my daily responsibilities included feeding supervising play groups, maintaining clean and safe spaces, monitoring behavior and providing individualized attention to each dog. My love for animals began long before my professional experience. I have loved animals my entire life and grew up with pets starting from small pets like guinea pigs and growing into caring for many pets at once. Today I am a proud parent of three dogs (Remi,Nala,Trixie) and three cats (Linus, Hunter, Sweet Pea) of my own, which is giving me firsthand experience with daily pet routines, multi pet households and providing consistent loving care. Caring for animals is not just a job for me. It’s something I’m truly passionate about. I treat every pet as they were my own and strive to create a safe, fun and nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident, leaving their furry family members in my care My schedule is centered around caring for my and your animals. I’m able to offer very flexible availability to meet the needs of pet owners whether it’s early-morning evenings or last-minute requests I do my best to accommodate different schedules. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and available when life gets busy. I’m committed to being there when your pet needs care. As my home is already a zoo so I cannot provide care there, I’m happy to provide loving reliable care in your homes where your pets feel most comfortable. I have no problem traveling to your home to feed provide potty brakes playtime, and make sure your pets are safe happy and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with respect and care as if they are my own in addition to in-home visits. I also offer walking services to help keep your dogs, active exercise and on their normal routine.
About: Premium Pet & Flock Care Tailored for Every Life Stage As a trusted and experienced pet care provider, I specialize in personalized sitting services for large-breed pups, cats, and their smaller furry friends — with added expertise in puppy training, compassionate senior pet care, and even backyard flock care for chickens. Your pets are unique, and so is my approach: I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel secure, loved, and engaged while you’re away. From teaching puppies good manners and basic obedience, to gently caring for older pets who need extra patience and attention, to providing thoughtful care for your feline family members — I deliver professional, reliable care that goes far beyond feeding and walking. And for families with backyard chickens, I bring years of hands-on experience as a seasoned chicken owner. I can provide attentive care for your flock — ensuring they’re fed, their coop is secure, and they stay safe and healthy until you’re home again. 🐾 Puppy Training: I help reinforce basic commands, house-training routines, and leash manners, giving your young pup the best start in life. 🐱 Cat Care: I provide gentle, attentive care for cats of all temperaments, making sure they receive the affection, play, and routine they need to feel safe and content. 🐾 Senior Pet Expertise: I understand the special needs of aging pets — from administering medication and assisting with mobility to creating a calm, stress-free environment for rest and comfort. 🐓 Flock Care: As an experienced chicken owner, I know how to care for backyard hens and ensure they’re well-tended and secure in your absence. 🐾 More Than a Sitter — A True Companion: My services are designed to give you peace of mind and your pets (and chickens!) a trusted friend they can rely on. You’ll return to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for family every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide loving, attentive care around the clock. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to each pet’s unique needs — whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or administering medication. Because I’m home throughout the day and night, pets in my care enjoy consistent companionship, plenty of interaction, and a stable, comforting environment that feels like home. I’m able to maintain their familiar routines and give them the one-on-one attention they deserve, so they’re never lonely or stressed while you’re away. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it’s at the heart of my everyday life. I care for pets in my home by providing round-the-clock attention in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they feel like part of the family. Pets enjoy plenty of playtime, outdoor exercise (especially for large-breed dogs), and cozy resting spots. I maintain their regular feeding and potty schedules and offer lots of love, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day and night. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I tailor each visit to their pet’s routine and comfort level. This can include daily walks, fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and overnight stays for pets who do best in their familiar surroundings. I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and relaxed — and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and devotion I give my own — because they deserve nothing less.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11 for my friends, neighbors, and family. I have mainly cared for dogs but I love all animals and have experience with all kinds of pets! I am currently a student but I am available most afternoons and every weekend! I love animals and miss mine a lot at home so i'm hoping to find some great furry friends! I understand people have different needs with their pet, so I want to listen to them first about their pets needs and how they want me to take care of them. I do not have an area currently that I can watch dogs.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I had my own dog for 16 years, from childhood through her senior years, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency dogs need at every stage of life. I regularly walked her and taught her commands like sit, shake, and roll over. As she got older and developed health conditions, I continued caring for her with patience and attention to her changing needs. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society and used to go with my mom when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable around dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m home from college for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to spend my weekdays doing something I genuinely enjoy. I only work a few nights a week, so I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’ve always loved being around dogs, so this feels like the perfect side job for me while I’m home. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, and I’d love to help give your pets some extra attention, exercise, and care during the day. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. During walks I keep dogs closely leashed, pay attention to our surroundings, bring water and waste bags, and make sure not to walk too far especially in hot weather or with older dogs. For drop in visits I make sure pets have fresh food and water, get attention and play time, and that everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also know how important pets are to people, so I’d always keep owners updated and send pictures when I can.
About: Hello! I am Victoria. I am going to school part-time for Business Management and work full time on 3rd shift, which gives me time during the off hours to drop in and check on your pet as well as take them for a nice walk during the day. I’ve had and taken care of pets since I was 10, mainly dogs, lizards and hamsters. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors and am comfortable giving medication as needed. I work 3rd shift. I am available between my sleep schedule, mid day to mid afternoon to care for your pet with drop-ins and take for walks, usually 20-30min. I care for the pet as they were my own. There’s no shortage of walks, scratches, love and cuddles. And any other enrichment the pet may need.
About: I have experience in a wide variety of animal care (having worked at my local wildlife sanctuary). Not only am I experienced with dogs and cats, I am also experienced with special needs pets and administering medication. I am currently searching for full time employment, but as of right now I am very flexible! Once a do acquire employment, I am still flexible but will update my availability! I can follow instructions to the letter, and offer enrichment activities such as walks or playtime. During overnights, I will follow house safety procedures as well as be attentive to your pet throughout the night. I am experienced in special needs pets and administering medication.
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I routinely care for friends' pets & treat them like my own. I walk daily in all types of weather. The company & adventure a dog adds to walking is pure joy for me! I have my own Architectural Residential Design business which allows for a flexible schedule. Getting out for a walk is a must to get relief from computer time! I am only available for dog walking at this time but am willing to consider other care that may be needed. I believe I will form great relationships with my clients!
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
“Miranda is amazing…! I totally trust her with my dog, who is an elder dog who recently had back surgery, so she has some special needs and I worry. But with Miranda I don’t stress at all because I know she’s in good hands, with an experienced Dogwalker, with a history of working with all sorts of dogs. Plus, Miranda sends me pictures of her and lets me know how things went, by leaving a note inside the house, which is a really nice personal touch that I enjoy. I highly recommend her.”
About: There hasn’t been a time in my life where I haven’t had a pet. I have a dog, a cat, and fish as well in my own home right now and I would love to take care of your pets as well. I have a very active lifestyle, so I am well prepared for walks and playing with your pets! I just finished my sophomore year of college and am on summer break. I am waitressing this summer, but I don't work every day. When I do work, my shifts are either 10am-4pm or 4pm-11pm generally. So, even when I do have work, your pet won’t be alone for too long because I can come right before and after my shift to check up on your pet and/or still sleep over at the house with them if you want me to. I am able to accommodate to whatever your dog needs. I can run with them in the backyard, or just chill on the couch with them. Whatever it is, my goal is to make them happy and comfortable.
“Tyler is absolutely amazing! My husband and I work day shifts and are not home much during weekdays and Tyler has helped so much with taking him for walks. Milo is naturally a friendly boy but based on his interaction with Tyler he has definitely taken a liking to him. 10/10 would recommend working with Tyler”
About: I have done pet foster care for Dane County Humane Society for a number of years. I take in injured and healing dogs. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I turned to them in times of need and they depend on me for companionship and guidance. I am currently semi retired and working 10 hours a week for a local TV station. My time is very flexible. I am going to be tied up for a few hours on Monday evening We have a large yard in the country and we have walking trails adjacent to our property. I have a 50 pound dog with hip dysplasia and a torn ACL she cannot do A whole lot at this time so I enjoy getting out and walking with other dogs. Our cat Luna recently passed away. She will be missed.
About: I worked for the humane society for 1 year and there I worked with a range of dogs, including pits, puppies, seniors, special needs, and ‘behavioral’ dogs. I also know training to an extent! No dog is too much for me! This is my full-time job, along with taking care of my own animals at home! I have a very flexible schedule and I am willing to work with any needs and I can do overnights. In my home, my dogs have electric collars to make sure they do not run off. I also keep an eye on them while they’re outside. They are fed on a schedule and also walked one on as well. My cats are also fed on a scheduled, daily litter box changes, and of course play time just like my dogs. In a client’s home I will do what they prefer so that they’re comfortable with me! I am responsible and respectful of others property and items, as one should be!

“Our dog Oakley seemed to have loved his time with Julie and her family for the weekend. She has 2 dog which our dog seemed comfortable with after the meet and greet. She sent photos and videos of their adventures. Missed our pup for the weekend, but glad we got updates and knew he was in good hands. Also having some other pups to play with was great since he doesn't normally have that type of activities so I'm sure he enjoyed himself.”
“First time using Judy’s service and definitely would recommend. I booked her very last minute for the holiday weekend due to our original plans following through and she was quick to respond and help us out. I received lots of photos through Gus’s stay and updates. Gus was very happy throughout.”
“Danielle is so sweet and our pup, Laney had so much fun! She sent me updates and photos of what they were doing and was honest about other weekend obligations. We are really happy with how she cared for our dog and would highly recommend!!”
“Lisa gave our coco excellent care over the weekend. She sent us updated photos as to how coco was doing during her stay with them. Coco had a blast!! Thank you Lisa for creating a safe, super fun weekend for our little coco. Coco can not wait to start doggy daycare by Lisa too!! If there were more than 5 stars I’d give them all to this pet sitter❤️❤️❤️”
“Had consistent updates and felt very comfortable leaving Furb with Hannah & Braxton B while we were on vacation. Furb said it went super well and already misses his new friends.”
“Rebecca and her family took such good care of our pets that we never had to worry that they were not loved & cared for. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm and friendly environment for their furry family member.”
“Boarding experience review) This is our first dog, and our first time using Rover, and Salena helped put ease to our mind! She sent pictures of our puppy and was really flexible to work with. Bale slept so good when he came home, and he looked like he had the best time! We will definitely be using her again! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Absolutely fabulous sitter and family! Ginger loved her stays with Anu and her family. Their dog Norah is the sweetest and was a great teacher for my young golden pup. I will definitely be booking in the future. Highly recommended!!??”
“Frankie was amazing with Colt, he settled in nicely and enjoyed his stay there! Updates were provided on how he was doing and were quick to respond when I checked in.”
“Laura boarded Wiley for a weekend. Wiley was well taken care of and enjoyed her Yard. Wiley often has anxiety when we are gone but adapted to Laura and family nicely. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. Laura sent photos and communicated how Wiley was adapting. All went perfectly. I highly recommend Laura to watch your dog.”
“We will book with Molly again! Our fur babies had to stay with her for 2 days/1 night Molly was amazing with our babies Perrito and Gregorny. We had to find a dogsitter last minute and we found her. The day before we needed a sitter, she offered to do a quick meet and greet to see if Perrito and Gregorny would get along with Skyy (Molly's 3 yr old pet) and it went well. During Perrito and Gregorny's stay at her place, she kept us updated and sent us pictures! It was great knowing that they are all warming up to her, our babies can get pretty shy and easily get scared. I believe they also warmed up with Skyy eventually. Thanks again, Molly!!! 🫶🏽”
About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.
“Halligan was so awesome and took care of our puppy this week. I got multiple updates, photos AND videos. It was so reassuring to know that Luna was with someone very caring and dependable. It made going on a work trip that much easier. Thank you, Halligan, so much! <3”
“This was my first time using Rover or just having my dog stay at someone's house. In the past with prior dogs I had used kennel services. I really didn't want to do that with Willow since she is a great Dane and I didn't want her to be cooped up in a kennel since I was going to be gone for 1 week. Willow had a great time and actually seemed a bit sad on our drive home. Dallas sent updates every other day which made me comfortable enough not to worry while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Dallas as a sitter and I plan on booking another stay”

“Scott was great!! He was very accommodating with all of Sadie’s needs and our concerns. He mentioned a few activities that he would do and showed us where Sadie would go out and play. The area was fenced in and very secure. He has two dogs of his own and they were very friendly and Sadie got along great with them.We felt very comfortable after dropping Sadie with Scott. We highly recommend him, and would certainly use his services anytime.”
“I am so happy I found Tori on here!! My dog Chapo had a blast with her & even had another doggy to play with. She sent videos to keep me updated which I enjoyed! I would 100% book with her again & recommend her to anyone.”
