Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lincoln Creek
“I am thankful Rhonda was able to watch my Boston Terrier on short notice. I was very comfortable leaving him with her and will definitely have her watch him in the future.”
“Definitely the beginning of a beautiful partnership. I’m so grateful to have found someone who takes such wonderful care of my puppy. The updates and photos gave me peace of mind, and I look forward to booking with you again.”
“MJ is the best sitter and was one of the few that I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with for more than a week! Sad that he’s relocated away from CA but I’m sure he’ll continue to be an A+ sitter wherever he goes!”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hank! Communication was great and prompt. She provided plenty of exercise and play time with her dog, and even gave Hank a bath when he got muddy.”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“My two huskies had such a good time! Kim and her husband took such great care of them! They sent us videos and pictures which definitely helped knowing they were in good hands :) 100/10 recommend”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter for our pup! She communicated throughout the stay, sent pictures, and made him feel at home! I highly recommend! Thank you for the experience!”
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“I absolutely loved my experience with the sitters! They’re so attentive, communicative, helpful in every way, I definitely will book again. I could tell with the updates that my dog was happy ( from photos I received every day) and very comfortable! It made my getaway so much easier to know he was well taken care of!”
“Ann and Arman's family took wonderful care of Luca while I was away on vacation. This was my first time using Rover for dog boarding, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect—but this family truly exceeded my expectations. They are incredibly kind and caring people. Every day I received plenty of photos and updates about Luca, which really helped me relax and not worry while I was away. It meant a lot to know he was in such good hands. Luca came back home happy, and I know he received the best care. It was so nice to see how they welcomed him as if he were part of their own family and made him feel at home while still respecting the rules and routine he’s used to. I would absolutely recommend this family—they are exceptional! Thank you, Ann and Arman. We’ll definitely see you again soon :)”
“Andrew and his family treated my Oscar as part of their family. He was in constant communication with me while I was away in Italy for almost 3 weeks. Andrew is very kind and very easy/flexible. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a trustworthy person to watch their furbabies! Thank you Andrew!”
“Ashlee did wonderful taking care of my 11yo Shih tzu and 2yo Goldendoodle. She took them on walks, and sent me updates while I was on my trip!! She was flexible with the time changes in my travel and made it easy for me to pick them up!! I know my pups were in great care with Ashlee!! Thanks again ☺️”
“Maria and Nayibe were amazing with Copper. They send photos regularly and updated us on how he’s doing and were very flexible. Copper enjoyed his stay with them!”

“Ester did such a good job with our Golden Retriever! We reached out last minute and she was so accommodating. Quick response time, and Tucker had a blast. 🐾💗”
“Cindy took great care of our pup. She clearly had fun playing with Cindy’s dogs. We were able to meet ahead of time which made us very comfortable. Communication was excellent the whole time. I highly recommend her for your pups needs.”
“Sherry was willing to work with my special needs puppers and do a trial overnight that worked out fantastically. Buddy settled in no issue and really enjoyed the fenced in yard. I got plenty of photo updates which was awesome to see.”
“Stacey took care of my older beagle for the weekend and did an amazing job. I got pictures and updates daily while we were away. I will definitely call her again next time im out of town!”

“Ilene took such good care of my cats while I was out of town. She sent me so many pictures and it was so nice and reassuring to see how much fun my girls were having while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Carrianne was a great pet sitter for my two kitties! She took time in the first visit to let the kitties warm up to her befor diving into care tasks and I'm sure they greatly appreciated that! She was very punctual which really helped keep me at ease when I was away and provided thorough updates at the end of the drop-in visit.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
About: Hi! I’m Montse - mom of kitties Chamoy and Luka. I’ve had these cats for five years and was always a dog person until I had my own feline friends. My orange cat is exactly as you’d expect… rambunctious and incredibly cuddly. Luka the black cat however, is very stand-offish and loves her space. All that to say, I know that cats come with different personalities and I’d love to care for yours however is needed!
“Julia did such a wonderful job looking after my cat Minerva while I was away. At every visit she sent me pictures and an update and gave Minerva lots of cuddles and attention. I would absolutely book with Julia again!”
“Jeremy was great! He obviously enjoys taking care of animals and he went the extra mile for us to get an extra feeding visit in. We will happily use him again!”
“Kristine was awesome with my cat Winnie. She can get scared with new faces but Kristine was kind and gentle with her. 10/10 would book with her again!”
About: Grew up an animal lover with multiple dogs and cats over the course of my life. Long story short, I have experience with puppy life, shelter life, low energy, high energy, etc. I just love animals and look forward to taking care of yours I work full time as a school counselor but understand what it takes to be a healthy dog owner. This means a walk in the morning before I leave, a walk when I get home after work, and depending on a lot of other factors maybe one late maybe not. On weekends I'm a a homebody which is why I signed up for this. I will get out of the house to walk my girl or take her on an adventure to the dog park, trail walk, etc. Otherwise I like just hanging out and playing video games. My girl has a crate in the family room but I also repurposed a spare bedroom into a doggy friendly room. I wasn't using it for any reason so figured why not make it dog friendly for my girl and others. I also have a fenced in yard that I can easily let her and other dogs out. It is big enough to be able to throw a ball around as well.
About: Cats have been my companion all my life.. a home is not a home without the pitter patter of little paws. Currently, my fur baby Millie is my only pet but have experience with dog and cat households. I know their needs and can establish a bond with cats easily. And I also know when they need space and just someone to be company without adding to their stress.
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Hope! We hired her to care for our cat Tiki while we were away on an extended vacation, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, Hope took the time to truly get to know Tiki, who needed extra attention and engagement. She worked with us to build a personalized visit plan, and her ability to read Tiki's moods and adjust accordingly was remarkable — whether that meant an active harness training session or simply curling up together when Tiki needed comfort and cuddles. That kind of intuition and attentiveness is rare and made such a difference. Her communication throughout our trip was consistent and reliable, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. If you're looking for a cat sitter who will genuinely connect with your pet and give them exactly what they need, we would recommend Hope without hesitation, and plan to hire her again!”
About: I have taken care of many different animals since I was 11, including: birds, rabbits, fish, hamsters, dogs, and cats. Family, friends, and neighbors have always found me to be reliable in making sure their pet is well taken care of while they are away. I currently have 2 elder cats, an elder chihuahua, and a puppy. My animals have some specific needs so I am also used to giving medications and some special maintenance. I have experience with high energy and low energy animals. I used to work as a teacher so I can problem solve quickly and have tons of patience! With training my own pup, I can handle puppy energy and maintain training expectations while you are away! If your dog likes to play, I can bring my pup around for a playdate 🐾 Animals love me because of my patient and loving energy.✨ I am mostly free after 4, either to drop in and check on your baby, a walk, or for some play time! I prefer house sitting on the weekends but I don’t mind if it’s a day or 2 before/after :) I always greet animals with a happy and loving tone. I am experienced in crating dogs and potty training puppies, since I currently have a pup of my own. I am able to give medication that your pet may need, as well. I will send my clients a picture or video of their animal upon my visits and answer any and all questions about how their pet is doing while they are away. I always treat the pets I care for with as much love and attention that I give to my own. I promise that your baby will be in good hands when they are with me.
About: While I have more experience with dogs than cats I have owned my own cats and watched my friends cats before. I know just how much our fur babies mean to us and would be more than happy to make sure yours is safe while you're away!
“Abby was incredible! It was our first time using Rover with our very scared cat and everything went so smoothly! I loved all of the updates and information while we were gone. We will 100% book Abby again!”
“We trust Travis with our cats and house, he is always our first choice whenever we go out of town. Above and beyond- great updates and when we come home it is clear our pets and house were well cared for. Thank you!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lincoln Creek
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
“Having our dog stay with MJ has been a great experience! We recently adopted a dog with fairly severe separation anxiety, and I'm not sure how we would have made it through the first months without having someone like MJ to watch her during the day while we work on alone time training. He's always very communicative and flexible, and our dog just loves him. You couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!”
About: I’m a true animal lover. If it has paws, scales, fins, or whiskers, I’m already invested. I’ve cared for and fostered all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, aquatic babies, reptiles, and the tiniest furry friends like bunnies and hamsters—so I’m comfortable across the board. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”…they’re family. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and respect their boundaries so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. At home, I’ve got my own little zoo—2 sweet cats, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, 4 snakes, and an adorable mouse—so trust me, I’m no stranger to unique personalities and specialized care. I would love to care for your pet when you need a break, go on vacation or when you make other plans. You can be assured that your pet is in good hands. To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. 📍 Located in Milwaukee – Capitol Heights area 🌻 I work from home so I’ll always have time to play, feed and love on your pet babies. I’m always flexible with their needs (bathroom breaks, medication, shyness) to make sure they are always comfortable. If my schedule or availability changes, I always send out updates to my calendar right away. ❤️ To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for pets to roam, play and toilet if needed. Pets are always welcome to bring their own items. My 2 lovely cats are usually shy and more of the watching type, so they won’t bother your pets but will surely admire them from their cat trees. All activities and toileting are supervised. There is no smoking of any kind in my home or pet areas. There are some pictures of our living space in the photo collection on my Rover profile.
“Kim is amazing! We always have her watch our dachshund Wendi whenever we go out of town or have an event to go to. She is so responsive and such a kind person! When she’s watching our dog, we know our dog is in great hands.Our dog always comes home happy and sleepy after hanging out with Kim and her dog! Thank you!!”
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
“Auria took great care of Zeus! She was also very accommodating to our last minute request to extend his stay a couple hours longer. I would definitely recommend Auria to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: I’m a psychotherapist by day and am in general a very calm person. I pay attention to your pets moods and energy level and remember that during the time they’re playing with me, they’re missing you! So I treat them as if they were my own. I’m a psychotherapist by day and am in general very calm: I pay attention to your pet’s moods and energy level. I keep in mind that all the while your fur baby is with me, they’re missing you! I treat them as I do my own puppy. I have a fenced yard. (2) 1/2 hour walks a day: 2-4 hour potty breaks. Lots of play time with balls and curiosity toys !
“Erin is the best! So is her furry kid Woodson! She took my doggie in at the last minute on a snowy morning and he was so happy when we picked him up! She sent lots of updates the whole day, too! We will be asking her to watch King again??? THANK YOU ERIN!! We hit the jackpot finding you!”
“Dane is fantastic; couldn’t recommend him more. Our pup loves getting to hang out with him and his goldens. We’re pretty sure our dog would prefer to live with Dane and his dogs if he could! We know that our dog has a great time because whenever we turn down the street that Dane lives on, our dog loses it with excitement regardless if we’re dropping him off or on our way somewhere else. Great backyard, the sweetest goldens and super nice humans. Definitely a winning trio.”
“My partner and I wanted to spend a couple of hours on my birthday at some places that don't allow pups - after quick and easy communication with Michelle, we booked daycare with her. Our pup is very social with dogs and people but is always super cautious at first. When we dropped Navi off, she was a bit skittish and didn't really want to go in the house. This left us feeling a bit worried. However, Michelle immediately sent us an update with pictures after we drove away showing Navi explore the house and the backyard. Throughout the day I received so many pictures and videos of Navi playing in the pool and with other pups. It genuinely was the best birthday present I could have asked for. It made us so happy to receive so many updates showing Navi living her best life with her new friends. It was clear Michelle loves doing what she does and cares for every pup like they are her own. If we are ever in the Milwaukee area again, we would love to have you watch after our girl again! Thank you again, Michelle!”
About: Hi, my name is Andrew and I love dogs! I raised my dog Mushu from a puppy (now passed) and am an active dog uncle to Luella. My goal is to provide you with the peace of mind that your dog is getting the love, care, and attention they need. I am currently available to book most days of the week as dog care is my passion. Please feel free to reach out to set up a meet and greet. I am currently available to take care of pets in client’s home. I am flexible with needs, dates, and times. Let me know how I can help 🙂
About: Hi! I’m Bella, a professional dog trainer with over 7 years of hands-on experience working in advanced obedience, behavior modification, service dog foundations, and sport dog training. I’ve helped dogs and their families work through leash reactivity, anxiety, aggression, impulse control, and high-drive challenges—and I bring that same knowledge into every boarding, daycare, or drop-in service I offer. 🐾 What makes my care different? I provide structure, clear communication, enrichment, and individualized attention—not just cuddles and playtime. Whether your dog is working on manners or needs a calm, consistent place to stay, I’ve got you covered. 📍 Based in New Berlin 🏡 Calm home with safe setup (crate-trained dogs welcome!) ✅ Experience with large breeds, working dogs, and nervous pups 🦴 Optional training add-ons available during daycare or boarding Let me know your dog’s needs—I’m happy to customize care to give you peace of mind and your dog the routine they thrive in. (Website with training info available upon request.) Pet care is a central part of my daily life. I’m home during the day and structure my routine around walks, training sessions, feeding, and enrichment. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, dogs are integrated into a calm and structured environment throughout the day. I provide a peaceful, secure home environment with crate space available (if needed), structured downtime, and consistent routines. Dogs are supervised, enriched, and treated with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I’ve worked with everything from young puppies to high-drive working dogs to those needing a little extra patience or support.
“Drew and Rue are awesome hosts! Luna and Rue became fast friends and they spent a lot of time playing and running around. Drew was kind enough to send pics and video to this nervous fur mom. He also asked if she had any particular routines to follow which was so appreciated. Luna has been good and tired out today so I could get some work done after I picked her up! Highly recommend Drew and Rue, we will be regular clients of theirs moving forward.”
“Perseus and Dereck were great hosts to Spider. They took him in last minute. They provided photos during his short stay. I will definitely have them watch our dogs again. They deserve 10 stars!!”
About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.

“Jessica is amazing! Our dog Gabby stayed with her during the day and they got to enjoy nice walks, go to the park and get lots of play time. Jessica kept us updated during the day and sent us lots of cute pictures. Gabby is excited to see her again!”

“We have been working with Haani for a month so far. She's so great with Gus! Since she started working with Gus, he's gotten better at understanding and listening to commands and not pulling when he's on his leash. He's always so happy to see her! Haani communicates well and is really reliable. We're excited to keep working with her.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.
About: I started off taking care of small animals, but then became trained as a kennel attendant and enrichment specialist in my growing career in animal care. I wanted to offer more to my local community with the current skills I have, along with learn and grow with every pet and parent! I’m aware of how dogs communicate with each other with body language and have been trained to break apart a fight, even before a fight could start.
“Chelsea was great with my two pups! The snow and ice and the corresponding salt on the sidewalks make things a bit more challenging for my senior dog, who has arthritis and poor vision. But Chelsea made sure they did their business in a caring way...she even carried my older dog for a portion of the way because one of her paws was hurting, likely from the salt/ice-melt. I highly recommend Chelsea!!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for my grandparents’ Shih Tzus. I am attentive, patient, and always prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents and make sure their routines are maintained exactly as requested. I am reliable, punctual, and committed to showing up when expected. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for them. I maintain a structured and dependable schedule, ensuring consistent arrival times and adherence to each pet’s routine without exception. Safety is my highest priority, and I remain attentive at all times to prevent risks during walks, feeding, or home care. I build trust through clear communication, reliability, and strict follow-through on owner instructions. I also focus on creating a calm, stable, and comfortable environment where pets feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for throughout my time with them.
“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”
“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”
About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.
About: As someone who grew up on a small farm, I have been around a variety of animals since birth. I have experience caring for a variety of species and am comfortable handling any animal. I have volunteered with local animal shelters for over a decade, so I also have extensive experience caring for pets with behavioral issues and medical needs. I am a part-time sitter who is providing pet care services in addition to my full-time work. However, as a professor at a local university, I have a very flexible daily schedule and can easily provide pet care during typical business hours. Additionally, I do not work in the summer, which increases my availability from mid-May to September. I am very intentional about the number of clients I take at a time to ensure that I can provide comprehensive care to booked clients. I believe open communication is most important to be able to provide safe and reliable care for your pets. During our meet and greet, I will ask many questions to ensure that I have a full picture of what caring for your pet requires and how to meet your expectations. As someone who uses a Rover sitter to care for my pets when I am away, I personally understand the trust that is needed to leave your pets in someone else's care. I strive to build trust with clients by showing up when I say I do and following all instructions provided to me. And, it is not just about building trust with you but also your pet! If your pet has any behavioral issues or quirks, it's important for me to know this so that I can ensure safety for your pet and myself. This will help me adjust my interactions with them so I can build trust with your pet and respect their boundaries. The more information I have, the better!
About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was 13. I currently have a blind senior german shepherd, and guide him when needed, giving him lots of treats and love. I also have a 1 year puppy and give her frequent time out. I’m planning on working weekends whenever needed to play with doggies and give them the care they need! I can feed them, give medicine, and care for blind and senior dogs. I put my dogs before anything and make sure they have everything they need. Treats, water, food, play time, medicine, supplements, nap time and love.
About: I have had experience caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, such as dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and fish. I am comfortable and confident with walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I am a full-time grad student, and I also work a part-time job. My schedule is a little different each weekday, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the day. I am available all day, every other weekend. I do not currently care for any pets in my home. I am not currently accepting jobs that require a pet to stay in my home.
“Krystal has done a fantastic job taking our high-energy dog on walks. She’s prompt and shares details about how things went afterwards. She’s also been great about following any specific instructions or requests. I feel very confident leaving our dog in her care and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and more. I currently work as an enrichment specialist/dog handler at a dog daycare, where I supervise and care for dogs of all sizes with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Before working professionally with dogs, I also spent years walking and caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with shy dogs, high-energy dogs, puppies, and senior pets, and I always focus on making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and body language, and I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals instead of just rushing through visits or walks. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my priority. I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of free time and space for your pup(s)! I am free every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with all day availability and flexibility! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I have professional dog handling experience, pay close attention to behavior and routines, and have a fenced yard for safe playtime. Something I’d also prioritize are play breaks! Play breaks/rest for dogs are just as important as exercise, which is something most people miss!

“Ann and Arman's family took wonderful care of Luca while I was away on vacation. This was my first time using Rover for dog boarding, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect—but this family truly exceeded my expectations. They are incredibly kind and caring people. Every day I received plenty of photos and updates about Luca, which really helped me relax and not worry while I was away. It meant a lot to know he was in such good hands. Luca came back home happy, and I know he received the best care. It was so nice to see how they welcomed him as if he were part of their own family and made him feel at home while still respecting the rules and routine he’s used to. I would absolutely recommend this family—they are exceptional! Thank you, Ann and Arman. We’ll definitely see you again soon :)”

My dog latched on to her and Lisa was very reassuring sending pictures and updates letting me know my dog was in good hands. I was able to relax more on my vacation knowing ZeZe was being well cared for!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Daniel took great care of my two anxious dogs, Kaiya and Ivy, during their overnight stay. He was reliable, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. Kaiya and Ivy were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention during their stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
