“My dog stayed for an extended weekend and came home happy, healthy and tired from all the playing. Very happy with the service and will be using them again in the future.”
“Millie loved her time at Ty’s! She doesn’t always like to eat when given the opportunity to play with other dogs, but Ty worked with her and was able to get her to eat her meals:)”
“Great stay cation for Joey! We were heading out of town on a holiday weekend so some of our past Rover boardings were not available. Speaking with Angela I can tell she understands dog behaviors and how to keep my anxious dog calm. I got pics and communication daily. Joey was wore out when he got back and that is not easy to accomplish. Will definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend Angela.”
“Jenny was the best sitter I’ve ever met on Rover, hands down! She gave me regular updates about my pup and sent me tons of photos. I never needed to worry about my dog; Jenny always made sure I knew how he was doing. Will absolutely book her again!!”
“Jared was very helpful and accommodating. Princess was well taken care of and had a lot of cuddles from everyone in the family. I will contact again next time I need a sitter for Princess!”
“Wendy and Dean made Duncan’s first nights away from home relaxing for us and a blast for him. They loved him like they love their own dogs, and sent pictures throughout his stay which gave us piece of mind. His stay with them was filled with long walks and loads of playtime with their sweet pups. They are our #1 choice when it comes to boarding.”
“Susan was the perfect sitter for my Shiba Inu! She took good care of him, took him on multiple walks, and even baked him dog treats! Plus she’s a delightful person who’s easy to coordinate with. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and other animals my entire life. I enjoy regular walks around our neighborhood and are experienced in giving vitamins and/or medication daily. I am home full time so your pet will have full time care. I have recently retired and I am available to care for your pet full time on week days as well as weekends! Your pet is never alone and gets all the attention she/he will ever need! So bring their bed, feeding dishes, toys and their brush so we can take care of all their needs. I have a fenced in yard. I always focus on maintaining each pet's normal routine— whether that's mealtime schedules, daily walks and playtime. All pets are allowed on the furniture.
“Karlie took great care of my pup during his stay. He got along well with her dog as well. They got a lot of both play and nap time together! He also came home with a cute bandana! (Thanks again for that). She is responsive, kind and truly loves to care for animals.”
“Janelle and Chris were incredible to our two dogs. We have a red healer/aussie mix young dog with a lot of energy that we get nervous to leave behind. But Janelle and Chris made us feel at ease with their experience with caring for dogs and their daily updates on how our dogs were doing. We will definitely be using them in the future! Highly recommend!”

“Emily took great care of our three kitties. We felt so comfortable knowing they were in her hands while we were away. It’s great to see pictures of them playing and doing their usual things when we can’t be there with them.”
“Faith was fantastic with our two kitties! She always made sure that they had enough food and that their litter box was clean and swept up the litter on the floor. She always added the cutest photos of our kitties after every visit. Would absolutely book again!”
“Karlie went above what we asked of her. She treated our girls like they were her own. She loved and took amazing care of them. I will gladly have Karlie take care of my girls again. Like i said you are amazing”
“Lauren was very helpful, caring, punctual and was a great communicator for her drop in visits for my cat! She literally went the extra mile and walked up my snowy icy driveway when her car couldn’t make it up! My cat is a bit standoffish with new people, but he warmed up to her after just one visit! I will definitely be requesting Lauren to help out with my cat in the future!”
“We highly recommend Brandon for your dog sitting needs. He was thorough and truly cared about taking great care of our furry babies. We will always keep in in mind for upcoming dog sitting needs.”
“We were delighted with Madisynn's care of our cat Callie. Her communication was spot on and she didn't hesitate to call (as we had asked her to) if there were any hiccups. Def recommend.”

About: At one time, we were breeders of Champion Golden Retrievers, and have raised many a pup, from small to large breeds. From Bernese to Yorkies, we love them all! Our furbabies are a Shorkie and Shih Tzu who are well behaved and make great hosts and playmates! Large pastures and trails on which to walk, so lots of exercise. Our canine guests will receive lots of love and attention! They will be welcome in our house if well-behaved, and treated like one of the family during their stay. We have excellent references from previous guests and do our best to make sure our every guest feels right at home. We follow all care guides given by our guests owners, including giving meds and treats as owner provides us. I or my husband are home with our guest dogs during stays. Our guests get lots of attention and care. We want to care for them as they are used to being cared for at home. We walk 3-4 times a day or as often as match the home life of our guests. They are cared for in our home and integrated into being cared for as part of our family with 2 little welcoming fur babies.
“Angela was excellent with my dog, Vaida! Vaida struggles adjusting to new surroundings, but Angela was a pro with her. Angela provided consistent communication & I was able to stay updated throughout the week. It was great to know Vaida was in good hands.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience working with Laura. She was quick to respond and it was easy coordinating our visits with her. The updates she provided gave us peace of mind that our dog Jordy was in good hands for the day. We would definitely work with her again in the future! Jordy seemed happy to spend the day with her in her home.”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous but my overall experience was positive with AJ. We have a 1 year old mixed breed dog that is very playful and happy around pretty much everyone. We met in a park near AJ’s home and he was promptly on time and communicated well. I asked several questions about the plan for the day and everything seemed reasonable to me. For me personally I just wanted someone that would keep my dog active and happy for the afternoon, also sneak in the occasional nap is okay too. When the day was over we met in the park again and (on time) and my dog was happy to see me. Thumbs up!”
“He took care of our 4 legs kids for first time. Taking care of old dog and young dog are not easy , especially at first time till they get used to with new environment and new friends. I think he did a good job. He send me one picture and gave me status of feeding. If we need to give him least opinion, that will be yard need to be picks up little.”
“Ambrosius had a lot of fun with her walks and doggy play! She came home and slept amazing. She was very happy and even got so comfortable she took a nap (rare for her at others houses). Thank you so much for making my puppy happy and feel loved.”

About: I am a Registered Nurse with a deep love for animals and extensive experience in specialized pet care. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I walk dogs, assist with basic training, and support rescue animals in need. Caring for these shelter animals, and working with pets on Rover, has become a meaningful way for me to channel my grief after my beloved 15-year-old rescue dog, Winnie, recently crossed the rainbow bridge. At home, I also share my life with a sweet, 4-year-old rescue cat named Chip. My background in nursing makes me highly comfortable administering medications and injections. Additionally, thanks to my many years of loving Winnie, I am no stranger to senior care, complex medical needs, or the gentle patience required for elderly pets. I have great flexibility throughout the week! I'm available most weekdays and weekends to help take your dog out or drop in to check on your kitty. Last-minute bookings are welcome, provided I have at least 24 hours' notice. While I don't offer boarding in my own home, I specialize in keeping your animals safe, happy, and comfortable in theirs. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a walk, or overnight house sitting, my priority is maintaining your pet's familiar environment to keep stress low. I am committed to building trust through reliable care and clear communication. For your peace of mind, I am fully trained to administer specialized care, including CPR, standard medications, and medical injections, ensuring your furry family members are always in safe hands.
About: I have had multiple breeds of dogs or cats my whole life. I love all sorts of animals. They are more than a pet, they are family to me. I am working mom that just enjoys helping others out by watching their pets while they are out of town. I work typically 8am to 5 pm Tuesday through Saturdays and am available Sunday and Mondays any time. I am flexible. Each pet is different, but typically I make sure the pet is fed and has water. I allow for play time and depending on the weather, for dogs I will take for walks or play outside.
About: I have dogsat ever since I can remember. I have a passion for taking care of animals, and I want nothing more for ever animal to be healthy and loved. I have six dogs, so I have tons of experience taking care of them. I am honest and reliable! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I promise to stop by as often as possible. I prioritize animal safety, so your dog will be let out either on a leash or in a fenced in area! I want what is best for them.
About: I grew up on a farm and I have experience with multiple different breeds of animals. I take the time to listen to animals and their body language. I work part time. So i have plenty of extra time to spend and care for your fur baby. Im available Monday to Friday after 2pm and weekends! I have plent of yard space and easy access to walking tails and parks. I do have a dog friendly cat who can keep ur fur baby company
About: I love animals of all kinds! I’m a nurse looking to hang out with your pets on my days off. I have experience with every care need from early puppy socialization to end of life care. I haven’t met a dog yet I didn’t immediately become besties with, from the tiniest chihuahua to the biggest pittie or Dane. I will never turn a dog down because of their breed! I’m also happy to look after any other animals you might have, from reptiles to birds to horses. Just ask and we’ll make it work! I have a rotating schedule that includes a full week off every third week. I work 5p-3a three days a week (and every third weekend). Just message and we’ll figure something out! Yours: I understand being particular about one’s home, so no reasonable request relating to my conduct there would be too much! Cleaning up after myself is a given, as is following any personal house rules. Mine: All of my animals are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick medication, and I require the same from any animal I keep in my home. They would be kept separate from my 4 cats for the first couple of days, but with discretion and communication I would be fine with introducing them if they were interested in each other. Smoke free home.
About: I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. I go the extra mile to make sure both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I work full time, but I still make pet care part of my daily and weekly routine. I stay flexible with my schedule and will always communicate clearly about my availability to make sure your pet gets reliable care, attention, and exercise. I care for pets by sticking closely to their routine. I provide a safe, clean environment, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention, while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.
