“We had a wonderful experience with Heidi! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we received regular updates and photos that really put us at ease. Our dogs were clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable while we were away. You can tell they truly love animals and take their responsibility seriously. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care!”
“I left my Toby with Michelle for a long weekend. She was great with communication from the very beginning! Michelle let me know what to expect and put my worrying at ease. Drop off went smoothly and at least once a day, I received pictures or videos of him! I will absolutely use Michelle again in the future. She was patient and calm with Toby who is nervous around anyone new!”
“Highly recommend. Very responsive throughout booking process and with updates during our pets stay. Diego came home happy and exhausted from all the fun he had. Would definitely book with Alex again”
“This was our first time having our newly adopted boys stay with a sitter while we were away from a wedding. We are so thankful we came across Karen’s profile because she turned out to be the perfect match! Karen and her family provided lots of love to our dogs, sent many photos of their time together, and she was very responsive and thorough in all of her communications. Our boys came very happy and so did we! We will be looking for Karen again in the future and we highly encourage others to do the same!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Alisha did an amazing job! I dropped Sophie off and she was there to greet me with her dog. Sophie had such a blast, and she even sent a bunch of photos too! I'm definitely going back to Alisha next time I need someone in the area!”
“Brianna was wonderful. She was amazing to Nova and treated her like her own. When we had problems at the airport coming back, Brianna was easy to talk to and made delay home less stressful since we knew our baby was in the best hands.”
“Great sitter! Highly recommend Nicole and Josh. Frank and Leo were very happy their entire stay and I could tell they loved it there. I got so many cute photos and the communication was wonderful and always quick. The boys are looking forward to their next stay!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We hit the jackpot picking Nicole & Derek. Of course we were worried about leaving Odie and then with the rain the first night, I was really concerned about how Odie was doing. I received pictures and updates plus was told Odie got to sleep with one of their boys! When I picked Odie up, he was happy and really tired from having a fun weekend. Nothing like his reaction or smell when we have had to put him in a kennel. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicole, Derek and your boys! I hope they will be available when we next need to leave Odie in someone else’s care.”
“Abbie and her family took great care of our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know and we could not be happier. She sent many updates and picture and took great care to make sure she knew all of our dog’s needs. We could relax knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Abbie!”
About: Ive had cats and dogs my whole life. I just lost my dog last year after 14 years with him so being the home is empty, I thought I'd try this. I work during the week but I can make things work if needed. otherwise, weekends I'm always around. My daily work schedule is 7 am to 5 pm but evenings are free or if anyone needs help letting the animal out on the way home, I'm pretty flexible. I dont have close neighbors to add any intimidation to any pets and my yard is large to go on walks around it within my own property rather than walking down roads and what not.
“Orlando and Nicki were great! They cared for Daisy like she was their own. Great communication and sent lots of photos of our pup having a wonderful time while we were away! We will use them again for sure! 100%!!!”
About: I am a dog mom to Freedom, my Blue Heeler of 8 years. He is very friendly and loves play dates and doggy daycare. I'm really doing this for him to have friends over. We have a small fenced area for potty breaks. Our living room is cozy for stretching out to nap. We also have an 8X14-foot deck for lounging and overseeing the backyard. I try to stay pretty relaxed and create a calm environment, but don't mind some chaos at times either. Freedom, Arya (my daughter), and I enjoy short road trips to get coffee or feel the wind in our fur. We are working on fencing in the backyard for doggy romps and sniffs. We love the fresh air! Hope to meet you soon. I am a stay-at-home mom with my daughter, who loves furry friends. My schedule is very flexible, and we also take care of old grandpa downstairs. We have a fenced-in potty area for your pet's safety and comfort. A fully fenced-in yard is in the works. Happy to provide for your pet's needs.
“Tiffany and Dustin went above and beyond to accommodate for Tenly. They cared for her as if she were their own. They will definitely be my first choice to care for Tenly in the future.”
“Alicia was so kind to care for Farley over an extended 7 day vacation. This was the longest we’d been away from him and wanted to make sure he would be cared for. She allowed a meet and greet before the stay and took excellent care of him which made our trip less stressful. Would definitely use again for future stays. Thank you!”

“Can't recommend Heidi highly enough. She took care of my two fur babies while I was on a business trip for work, and even went the extra mile of leaving the trash for pickup on trash day, and running me to the travel plaza for the shuttle pickup on the day I left. She stayed in constant communication with me and even checked on them late when we had a derecho come through the night after I left. I will definitely be requesting her to check in on my babies again the next time I have to travel for work. Unrelated but also notable - she takes professional-level pet photos that she includes in the daily check in cards. She missed her calling as a pet photographer!!”
“Alex was great! He handled our high energy dog very well. Millie was a happy girl when we got home! He followed our instructions and I felt very comfortable that Millie would be well taken care of on the drop in visit. Would definitely recommend Alex!”

“Charlotte did a great job tending to my littles while I was on a work trip. The frequent updates and pics were appreciated. She was neat and respectful staying at my place. Highly recommend!”
About: I do walking, snuggles, feed them, potty breaks and lots of play time! I do have a pet myself, but she stays home. I trained her all by myself. I taught her not to bark, lick the face, sit shake, stay fetch, and to love people. I'm a easy going person and I'm a animal lover myself! I hope to hear from you. I can start as soon as possible. You can also reach me at 7I also animal sit for my family and friends all the time. If you have any questions please feel free to call or text me. Thank you, Jenny M.
“We returned from an extended weekend to find our cat mellow and looking as if he wondered where that fun guy went? Rory was a terrific cat sitter during his 'house sit', and we will definitely book him again.”
About: I’ve owned cats for the majority of my life as well as take care of neighbor’s kitties and friends. I love cats just as much as dogs, and I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medicine, and giving lots of snuggles!
About: Hi there! My name is Savannah, and I recently moved to the area! I grew up around dogs/cats of all kinds my whole life and have previous experience with dog sitting for friends while they were away on trips. I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I spent time caring for and walking both dogs and cats. You don’t need to worry about traveling, as I have my own vehicle to travel. Because I work part time at a clinic, I’m available only afternoons and nights during the week. However, I'm available all day during the weekends. If you need a sitter, I would be unavailable to take them to my own house, but can stop in/stay at your place. Caring for an pet greatly depends on the pet themselves and the owner's desires. I love to play and be active with the animals if allowed. If a pet is older and doesn't like to be active for long, I enjoy just spending the quality time so they aren't lonely while their owner is away. I also always check in with the client about their pet's basic needs, such as how much they are fed and how often, how often they are let out, if there is any needs for any disabilities, etc.
About: Hello! I am a nomad traveling full time with my two friendly, fully vaccinated dogs.

About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.
About: Hi! I’m Becky, a lifelong dog lover who knows that every pup deserves attention, exercise, and love while their people are away.

“This was my first time having to get my boys a sitter, but I was really glad to have found Michelle! They were immediately comfortable upon arrival and pick up and drop off were very easy. It was such wonderful being able to not have to stress about they’re comfort and safety while I was away. Thank you Michelle!”

My name is Bri and I am a stay at home momma who can’t wait to have pawsome adventures with your pups! 😊🐶 I have experience in feeding, grooming, walking, administering medication, and ensuring a safe environment for dogs since childhood. This began with my family dogs, which taught me the importance of love and patience with our furry family members, and this mentality has continued into my adult life with my own pups!

I am available for pick up/drop offs between 7am-7pm I have a large yard with a friendly fur baby of my own to keep your pet company! I also have endless tough chewer toys to keep your pup’s tail wagging!
About: I've been pet sitting since I was in middle school, and more recently I've been pet sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I've had cats my entire life and currently I have a 5 year old dog. I am a stay at home mom, so I am able to watch your pets in my home and give them the loving attention they deserve while you are away. I send updates and pictures as often as you would like. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. I have an unfenced yard and a dog of my own. I have loved cats all my life.
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
“Orlando and Nicki were very responsive and accommodating. They were welcoming and hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with them and they took very good care of our pet.”
About: Hi there! I am an avid animal lover with 17 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels. I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, 12 foster dogs (not at the same time!) and have cared for many animals through Rover. I offer drop-in and dog walk services in the Hudson/Stillwater area. I work remote and have plenty of flexibility and availability to help fill in when you want a little help caring for your fur family. No upcharges for holidays either! Whether in your home, in your yard, or out and about, the safety of you pet, and their needs are top priority. I have engaged in a variety of dog training courses with my own dog so have no problem maintaining the rules you have in place for you animal/s.
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I have a cat and have had several different dogs. I even fostered dogs for a summer. I'm now divorced and have my kids half the time. My work is flexible and I can add in dog care as needed throughout the day. I homeschool my boys when I have them and work delivery jobs when I don't. My work is very flexible so I can make time for per care any time. I live in town with a small yard. It works best to come to your home as it's most familiar for the animal. My home is a good size but has close neighbors. You can find my personal pet sitting page called Jessica's Pet Sitting on Facebook.
About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats since I was young. I love to walk dogs and spend lots of time playing together. I also enjoy caring for cats. I’m very reliable and am a good communicator. I would love to spend more time helping out with pets! I recently moved here and would love to watch some new furry friends. I’m employed part time currently and looking for full time work. I am very respectful of other people’s homes and properties. I am clean, quiet, and will communicate as often as you would like. I love to play with cats and dogs and will give them lots of attention.
“Cate and Tim are awesome! They agreed to a quick meet and greet the day before watching Riley so when I dropped her off for the day she was right at home at their place. Riley made herself right at home and had lots of fun with the end result being a happy worn out pup. I got updatesnduring the day and great pictures of Riley that I could see that she was having a good time. I would definitely habe Cate and Tim watch Riley whenever I'm back in the area and need a sitter!”
“Jessica and Jacob were amazing sitters! Very friendly and professional. My pup went to their house for daycare for a few days and had a great time with their family. Will definitely book again!”
“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”
“We are traveling and our William was desperately in need for some canine fun, and he found it @ John & Rochelle's place. He was very happy and tired everyday. I could not be happier. Will definitely keep them in mind if we come back through Hudson.”
“Our dog Aggie had a great time with Julie! When we booked, she asked if Aggie would be ok having another dog around. We said Yes and the two Cockapoos had a wonderful day together. We appreciated Julie being willing to take on a second dog since we were asking last minute.”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, elderly dogs & just about everything inbetween. Currently pet free & enjoy meeting new furry friends. Enjoy long walks & pampering pets. I’m newly retired & have time to spare. Pet care keeps me active & entertained. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality & teaching them new tricks. I live near a walking path that allows for long dog walks & lots of fresh air. I have pet sit in others’ homes for years & have references as needed. It’s whatever works best for your furry friends.
About: Please note*** I cannot board pets where I live, all pet sitting (days and overnight) is done at your residence. Hello! I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a 3 yr. old yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! Currently I am mobile in the Western AZ / Southeastern CA area. I will come to you. I can stay as long as you need for your pet care - up to 2+ weeks if needed. I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info need to all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!
About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and am grateful for the companionship they bring. I can provide a safe and loving environment while you are away. I am also familiar with special needs dogs, puppies and seniors. I work from home and am available to help care for your beloved pets while you are away. I also own a small dog and a cat, so I take frequent trips outside for exercise and bathroom breaks. I have a fenced yard and go on daily walks. I love dogs and will spend time watching over your dog in a safe and nurturing environment. I also have a small dog that would enjoy making friends if your dog would enjoy that.

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, and that love just seems to keep growing the older I get. I've had a variety of resident pets over the years, including hamsters, birds, chinchillas, cats and dogs. I've been fostering through an animal rescue for 8 years and have cared for up to 20 animals at once, in my home. I started whelping a year and a half ago so I have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, newborn to senior. I am comfortable with all animals and look forward to meeting your beloved family member(s)! I currently work part time at an animal sanctuary for special needs cats and dogs. My schedule is flexible on most days and we can work something out on the days I am at work I have a farm with a large fenced in yard and 2 very friendly dogs that can keep yours company. I also have a chihuahua who absolutely loves people, but takes a little bit to warm up to a new furry face. I also have 2 super laid back cats who will observe from a distance. I have a dedicated puppy room that your dog can stay in; I can also crate them if needed or more comfortable for them or can let them hang with the family as much as they'd like to. We do let our animals on furniture but will adhere to any "rules" you have in place for your pet. We've had many animals come through our home on a temporary basis and do whatever we can to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: I do walking, snuggles, feed them, potty breaks and lots of play time! I do have a pet myself, but she stays home. I trained her all by myself. I taught her not to bark, lick the face, sit shake, stay fetch, and to love people. I'm a easy going person and I'm a animal lover myself! I hope to hear from you. I can start as soon as possible. You can also reach me at 7I also animal sit for my family and friends all the time. If you have any questions please feel free to call or text me. Thank you, Jenny M.
About: I’ve had dogs for 12+ years. Two I’ve raised from puppy’s and worked on behavioral training such as, going on walks, sitting, laying, and many other things. I have also trained show pigs for the last 9 years. I am available Monday through Friday most day hours. I am available some evenings and some weekends. I enjoy working with animals and helping out anyway I can. I treat the animal with respect and follow instruction as needed. I believe in consistency so that the animal doesn’t get confused. I think it’s important that the dog feels comfortable, gets cared for, and gets plenty of exercise.
“Sharron does a great job and communicates well with us on schedule adjustments. Fiona my Goodendoodle waits at the door for her to pull up to the house and is excited to see her every walk.”
About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!
“I needed someone to give my pup exercise. Olivia was great. She took him on daily walks, at exactly the times we had arranged, and sent me photos, so I could see he was being well cared for. I would definitely recommend Olivia.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 4 years now! I’m comfortable with staying in your home for overnights or just visiting during the day for walks and play time! Willing to travel to wherever you’re located. I currently have a part-time job, where I work Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I am able to meet your pet(s) both before and after work, and if I am currently sitting, I make your animals a priority in my routine! Whether you want me at your home or just to stop-in, I will promise you your fur babies will receive excellent care. At this time I can only care for animals at the clients home! I will follow all instructions given to me and I always communicate with the client on a daily basis on how your pets are doing!
About: I got my first dog for my 11th birthday after begging for one since I could talk. My friends and family have always come to me when needing a sitter after seeing the way I gush over fur babies of all shapes and sizes! Current snow-bird on hiatus with a very open schedule. I cherish any animal time I can as I’m originally from MN, where my 2 cats are currently being spoiled by their grandma. I am happy to honor your pets’ needs within their own home and environment. Safety and comfort are my priorities when caring for others’ pets, the way I would expect others to care for my own.

About: Hello there! My partner Andrew and I share a true love of animals, as well as traveling, and over the past 11 years we have offered our services as pet sitters and care-givers as a way to pursue 2 passions at once! We like to see it as a win-win for us and you, as we have used this platform and others as a way to both earn, and save money, while having meaningful experiences along the way. Having both grown up with animals and then having our own, as well as both being the eldest sibling of large families, has given us a lot of genuine experience. We are definitely what you would call "naturals". Animals not only like us but feel safe and comfortable with us. Our reputation and references are something we have worked hard for and consider of the utmost value. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to do this professionally and have had a great experience here on Rover, as well as via word of mouth. We have recently returned to Minnesota where I am from and once again offering ourselves up as dog walkers and house/pet sitters! I know leaving not only your pet but your house takes a lot of trust and so I would love to do whatever I can to assure you they are both safe. As you can see we have glowing reviews on Rover, and additionally, tons of glowing reviews on airbnb which I can provide a link to if you send us a booking request. I can think of no better way than to prove we are what we are what we believe ourselves to be, something we pride ourselves on being able to say, and shows the effort we have put into each sit/stay to take care of animals and homes as if they were our own. Some of the other things we do for work and are passionate about are: music, food service, teaching Spanish, writing, and instruments, child-care, coaching, and various outdoor activities. Please feel free to ask any questions and thank you for reading. Heather We are both working from home so are able to devote a lot of time to any animals we may be caring for. We are also very flexible and able to adapt to changes in scheduling. We are not currently able to host pets in our home but are able to accommodate any needs you or your pet may have in order to be and feel safe.
About: Hi! I’m Becky, a lifelong dog lover who knows that every pup deserves attention, exercise, and love while their people are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and can adapt to any dog’s personality! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m currently not working and have a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time each day to give dogs my full attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Caring for animals brings me joy, so I love being able to dedicate my time to it. I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your directions closely for feeding, walks, and routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I always clean up after the pets, lock up properly, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing everything’s going smoothly.

“We had a wonderful experience with Heidi! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we received regular updates and photos that really put us at ease. Our dogs were clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable while we were away. You can tell they truly love animals and take their responsibility seriously. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care!”
“I left my Toby with Michelle for a long weekend. She was great with communication from the very beginning! Michelle let me know what to expect and put my worrying at ease. Drop off went smoothly and at least once a day, I received pictures or videos of him! I will absolutely use Michelle again in the future. She was patient and calm with Toby who is nervous around anyone new!”
“Highly recommend. Very responsive throughout booking process and with updates during our pets stay. Diego came home happy and exhausted from all the fun he had. Would definitely book with Alex again”
“This was our first time having our newly adopted boys stay with a sitter while we were away from a wedding. We are so thankful we came across Karen’s profile because she turned out to be the perfect match! Karen and her family provided lots of love to our dogs, sent many photos of their time together, and she was very responsive and thorough in all of her communications. Our boys came very happy and so did we! We will be looking for Karen again in the future and we highly encourage others to do the same!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Alisha did an amazing job! I dropped Sophie off and she was there to greet me with her dog. Sophie had such a blast, and she even sent a bunch of photos too! I'm definitely going back to Alisha next time I need someone in the area!”
“Brianna was wonderful. She was amazing to Nova and treated her like her own. When we had problems at the airport coming back, Brianna was easy to talk to and made delay home less stressful since we knew our baby was in the best hands.”
“Great sitter! Highly recommend Nicole and Josh. Frank and Leo were very happy their entire stay and I could tell they loved it there. I got so many cute photos and the communication was wonderful and always quick. The boys are looking forward to their next stay!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We hit the jackpot picking Nicole & Derek. Of course we were worried about leaving Odie and then with the rain the first night, I was really concerned about how Odie was doing. I received pictures and updates plus was told Odie got to sleep with one of their boys! When I picked Odie up, he was happy and really tired from having a fun weekend. Nothing like his reaction or smell when we have had to put him in a kennel. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicole, Derek and your boys! I hope they will be available when we next need to leave Odie in someone else’s care.”
“Abbie and her family took great care of our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know and we could not be happier. She sent many updates and picture and took great care to make sure she knew all of our dog’s needs. We could relax knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Abbie!”
About: Ive had cats and dogs my whole life. I just lost my dog last year after 14 years with him so being the home is empty, I thought I'd try this. I work during the week but I can make things work if needed. otherwise, weekends I'm always around. My daily work schedule is 7 am to 5 pm but evenings are free or if anyone needs help letting the animal out on the way home, I'm pretty flexible. I dont have close neighbors to add any intimidation to any pets and my yard is large to go on walks around it within my own property rather than walking down roads and what not.
“Orlando and Nicki were great! They cared for Daisy like she was their own. Great communication and sent lots of photos of our pup having a wonderful time while we were away! We will use them again for sure! 100%!!!”
About: I am a dog mom to Freedom, my Blue Heeler of 8 years. He is very friendly and loves play dates and doggy daycare. I'm really doing this for him to have friends over. We have a small fenced area for potty breaks. Our living room is cozy for stretching out to nap. We also have an 8X14-foot deck for lounging and overseeing the backyard. I try to stay pretty relaxed and create a calm environment, but don't mind some chaos at times either. Freedom, Arya (my daughter), and I enjoy short road trips to get coffee or feel the wind in our fur. We are working on fencing in the backyard for doggy romps and sniffs. We love the fresh air! Hope to meet you soon. I am a stay-at-home mom with my daughter, who loves furry friends. My schedule is very flexible, and we also take care of old grandpa downstairs. We have a fenced-in potty area for your pet's safety and comfort. A fully fenced-in yard is in the works. Happy to provide for your pet's needs.
“Tiffany and Dustin went above and beyond to accommodate for Tenly. They cared for her as if she were their own. They will definitely be my first choice to care for Tenly in the future.”
“Alicia was so kind to care for Farley over an extended 7 day vacation. This was the longest we’d been away from him and wanted to make sure he would be cared for. She allowed a meet and greet before the stay and took excellent care of him which made our trip less stressful. Would definitely use again for future stays. Thank you!”
“Jessie was amazing with our two pups during a weekend getaway. She made her home very comfortable for the visiting furbabies by making comfy beds around the house for them to rest. Our youngest pup has anxiety, but she played catch with them, making the transition very easy. She had many toys, let them sleep in the bed with her, and was able to give oral meds to our older pup. During our trip, she gave daily updates. Jessie really helped make our trip enjoyable because we did not have to worry about our pups at all.”
“I cannot emphasize enough how incredible Lisa and her sons are. I don’t even trust my neighbors with my dog but I would trust these guys any day. They had a great time and appreciated my dog in a way few do! I won’t think twice about going out of town again if Lisa will be available. I got multiple cute, sweet, funny pictures every day, and her house is spacious and clean and she let my dog have so much fun in it. Truly cannot say enough good things!”
“Such a great feeling to know your dog is actually loved & cared for like her own when you leave. Feeling like he actually misses Paula, her family & his new “friends”!! Great stay!! Wonderful communication during our vacation!!”
