Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tippecanoe
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tippecanoe
“I knew Rupert would be in excellent care from the moment we met Rebecca & her family prior to his stay. They are very friendly, easy-going people who clearly enjoy welcoming new dogs into their home. Rupert is very social & has a lot of energy. It was perfect that they have dogs of their own & a large fenced-in yard, giving Rupert plenty of room & freedom to run & play with his new friends. I appreciated the daily check-ins, complete with pictures & videos & short reports about how Rupert was doing. I will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Laura did amazing with Romeo, she updated us everyday on how he was doing and was very responsive. Romeo was in very good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“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 ☺️”
“Katrina was a great sitter! She updated us regularly throughout the visit on how our pup was doing. We did one day of daycare with her before an overnight weekend and that worked perfectly! Our pup was so comfortable with her and they got along great! We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“We’ve used Joe and his wife twice in the past month to watch our dogs. The first time was for a 10-day trip out of the country. Our dogs can be a bit skittish but we’re comfortable and well-cared for while we were away. I appreciated the daily check-ins to let me know all was going well.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Every photo, Kody was smiling and genuinely happy. Her attention to detail and compassion shared with your little one is nothing short of a reflection of love.”
“Kelli was amazing with my dog Dusty!! She sent frequent updates throughout my time away and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. My dog definitely loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend Kelli and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Marilynn was UNBELIEVABLE with my dog!! He’s a difficult rescue and she was aware of it, but gave him a chance. He doesn’t tolerate other dogs, but by the end of his 24 hour stay he was playing in the yard with several other dogs (all larger than him). I was in shock. She is truly the dog whisperer and I’d trust Todd with her any time. Thank you so much, Marilynn!!!! You truly do love pets. ❤️”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Rachel and Matt took great care of our frenchie while we were gone for 2 weeks. They kept us up to date every day on how he was doing, which was greatly appreciated. He came home tired, so I know they got him plenty of exercise. We would absolutely book with them again.”
“Lacey was an amazing dog sitter! This was our first time leaving our 1year old lab and she handled him with such grace. We received so many updates and videos throughout the weekend. She took such great care of him - he came home as though nothing had changed. Dune was also such a wonderful pup companion. I would rebook again and again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary and would highly recommend her!! She boarded our dog in her home for nine nights. She was extremely responsive and flexible, and sent lots of pictures with our dog playing and going on walks to his favorite places. We could tell how much she enjoys animals. Thank you for taking such good care of Auggie! 😀”
“It was my pups first time staying with a new person, and staying overnight somewhere other than his house! And he had the absolute best time! Debbie was so kind to always give updates, pictures and reply to questions/messages. I plan to definitely send Kuzie back, total trust!”
“Blythe was an incredible sitter and went above and beyond caring for my nervous little guy! She even bought him a new toy and replenished his food when I didn’t provide enough for an extended stay! I was so nervous about leaving my dog for the first time and I was so glad I chose Blythe. She sent so many pictures and updated me frequently. Anyone in the area should consider her first!”
“Dan and Holly were excellent sitters for our dog! After our meet and great we were extremely comfortable leaving Wendy with this kind couple. Dan was very thorough in the questions he asked, and was open to any questions we had. He will also, as much as you'd like, provide pictures and descriptions of your pets stay while you are away. We would highly recommend Dan and will definitely use him again in the future. Thanks Dan!”
“Angela is simply wonderful. She took excellent care of our 13 year old Pit Bull mix while we were on our two week vacation. Our dog wasn’t used to being away from us that long and since he had always received a lot of attention and care, we were worried about finding someone who would take just as good care of him. From the moment we met Angela, we felt completely at ease. Her warm, positive attitude immediately reassured us, and she wasn’t fazed at all by our dog’s hip issues and reduced mobility. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was extremely well cared for, and we are so grateful to Angela for the love and attention she gave him. We would absolutely choose her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“We had Kristi watch our dog, Roxie, for a few days. It takes Roxie some time to warm up to new places and people. When Roxie wasn’t eating much, Kristi gave her some extra treats and tried some other foods to get her to eat a bit more, which I appreciated. We will use Kristi again!”
“Looking for the ONE? Erin is perfect with my 11 yr old Chihuahua! She boarded him for 6 nights, sent pictures, kept me updated every step of the way! He was comfortable with her dogs, happy, got in lots of walks and some cuddle time! She is professional, courteous, caring and really thoughtful about the needs of your pooch! Don’t hesitate to book a stay or walks with her! I highly recommend! 👍👏”
“Wallen had such a good time ! He really enjoyed being with Zachary! They bonded instantly. He sent us pictures and updates. Its been over a year since wallen has been boarded and it’s always nice knowing your bay is so well taken care of”

“I was gone for 2 weeks and Leandrea did a great job caring for my cat. She also went above and beyond and took care of my plants too. Definitely recommend and will use her again in the future.”
“Angela was extremely responsive and took great care of our kitties! We felt so much better knowing she was checking in on them! Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Courney was the absolute best. She helped me with more than just watching my animal. She helped bring in the mail when it got delivered and even went out of her way to get toys for my pet during Christmas time. She is an animal lover for sure. If there is anyone that I would rebook again with it would be her.”
About: I have experience with cats of all walks of life, shy independent cats, social snuggle bugs, and even the cats who don't exactly appreciate the work I put in, all our feline friends deserve confident and dependable care no matter their lifestyle. My husband is allergic to cats, so we can't have any of our own. Getting to hang out with yours for the weekend, in whatever capacity, is something special I get to look forward to.
“I am so glad to have found Danielle! As a first time Rover user, I was extremely nervous in finding the right person for my two kitties, but Danielle is the most professional and caring cat sitter one can ask for and helped answer any and every question I had! I loved the updates she provided for me while I was on my trip, and my kitties love her. Would definitely recommend Danielle and would use her again as a sitter to my fur babies :)”
“Wonderful, sent the best photos and the cats were always excited to see her! Would definitely love to have her over again!! I’m always nervous leaving my high maintenance and high attitude sphinx alone but this weekend was a breeze thanks to Lynette!”
“Devon was very attentive and caring to my cat while I was out of town for the weekend. Jazz is a bit timid but immediately seemed comfortable with Devon. I got the cutest pictures while I was away which I loved! I would definitely have Devon watch my fur baby again.”
“Alex was great! We knew our cats were well taken care of and got lots of love while we were gone. She did a great job with everything, including their complicated feeding routine. We also appreciate the updates and pictures while we were gone. Will definitely book her again!”
“Brianna took such great care of my kitties, staying in my home & treating them like her own, made me feel like I could leave my babies alone for more than a day. Took so many great pictures & made sure my kitty got her medication everyday. Thank you, Brianna!”
“Taylor was great to work with. He was punctual and took time to love on my baby and make sure she was doing good. They played with her favorite toys and cuddled a bit. I knew that my kitty was in great hands with Taylor and I trust him like family with my babies.”
About: I have been around and owned dogs my entire life, I also have had small animals and exotics the last 5 years. I love caring for animals and it has been my biggest passion. I currently work at an animal shelter that has allowed me to gain experience with all animals! I currently work full time seasonal at a shelter so I can provide pet care in the afternoons/evenings. I am off on Monday's and Sunday's so those days anything would work My care for pets vary on each individual’s needs, I do what’s best for them and what makes them happy! I believe in patience and allowing for the animal to make the decisions!
About: I have 3 cats & a dog who I treat as if they were my biological children. One of my cats & my dog are medically “blessed,” so I have experience giving meds & sticking to dietary restrictions. They are also anxious creatures, so I’m more than experienced in the world of patience. I foster for a cat rescue who saves stray cats & have experience with getting cats/kittens to trust me. I work full-time but am available weekday evenings for drop-ins & walks. I am available for boarding & house-sitting on weekends or over holidays. My weekends are flexible, so I can also accommodate medication schedules easily With a fenced in yard, dogs can enjoy time outdoors safely. I live in a quiet neighborhood that allows for nice walks. My dog & cats are very laidback. For other dogs, after a proper introduction, my dog loves playing with other dogs & is cat savvy. Since I foster, I also have a separate room where I could keep any cat guests.
“Kim did a great job taking care of my kitties. They got lots of love, attention and playtime while I was gone. She even got shy Josie to get close enough for pets. Knowing they were getting such good care made being away a little easier. I highly recommend Kim.”
“Thank you so much for checking on Missy for me. I should be home tomorrow and felt so much better knowing you were there to check on her! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!”
About: I have had and loved cats very much of my life! My parents stray cat they took in had kittens when I was 7 and I had a big part in their life after that! Then my very first pet that was only mine was my current cat Ollie! I have also volunteered at my hometown humane society for many years mainly with the cats! As well cat training is one of my favorite hobbies!

“Markie and Logan came home smiling and tired, which is really all I ask. they had a blast playing with all of the other dogs, and Logan didn't want to come inside from Joe's back yard!”
“Absolutely love Alexandrea and my pup does too. Every time I say “wanna go to the babysitters house” my dog immediately gets excited. That’s how I know my dog is in good care. She takes plenty of photos and she also likes to help when it comes to training. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Elba was amazing with my little 9 mo. old anxious dog. It was her first time in doggy daycare and Elba was up for the challenge. She had very useful observations and connected well with my little girl, making her feel much more comfortable. We had a great experience!”
“Lotte gets along great with Katrina’s dogs and Katrina is wonderful with her and communicates regularly to let us know how who she is doing. We’re thankful to find someone who can watch her regularly.”
“This was our first time using rover and any kind of daycare for our dog and Miranda was nothing but amazing! She kept me updated and sent pictures. We will definitely be using Miranda again in the future!”
“Erin was an excellent host for Katie for daycare! She greeted Katie outside with a treat. We were updated with pictures throughout the day: including Katie playing with their dogs, relaxing like the queen that she is, and exploring the neighborhood on a walk. Erin was flexible with pickup times which really helped with a changing schedule due to travel delays. Already booked another stay for Katie.”
“Wendy was super responsive and communicative! She was able to take Jenny last minute for daycare and she got along great with Batman! Highly recommend and will definitely be back if need a sitter in Milwaukee!”
“We had a great daycare experience with Jack, he looked after our Winnie! We booked on short notice and he was very flexible, which we really appreciated. Winnie was very well looked after and came home happy and relaxed. I loved the pictures he sent throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind since it was her first time away from home. We will definitely be booking with Jack again! 🐾”
“Kait is amazing, she’s become our go to when Maya has to be away from home. She’s very communicative, sends tons of pics and videos and Maya just LOVES spending time with her and Zelda ☺️”
About: Welcome to my profile! I grew up with a wide variety of pets, so I truly understand how each one has their own unique personality. I know how deserving of love every animal is, and I will do everything in my power to make your pets happy. I treat your pets as my own, while also understanding the need to accommodate to every pet's individual quirks and needs. I recently lost one of my pups to cancer, and because of this, I am really yearning for some more furry friends to meet. Maybe your pet can be my next friend! I recently lost my job, so I currently have a very open schedule! I do have a couple of established clients outside of Rover, but my schedule is still very flexible. I live in a condo-style apartment, so although I do not have a yard, I go on many walks each day- whether around my neighborhood or by driving to a park or beach. I also live just down the street from a dog park, for pups who enjoy socialization and time off-leash. Additionally, I have a patio space for pups who enjoy hanging out al fresco when the weather allows. My own pup is a bit of an escape artist, so I am extra careful with doors, gates, and secure leashing practices. I am also aware of how curious dogs can be, so in my home you can be sure of a safe environment where there are no dangers within a dog's reach (or jump). Not only do I treat your pets with love and respect, but I treat your home with the same care. You can be sure I will keep things neat and tidy, and always make an effort to leave a space cleaner than I found it. No matter the service or location, every animal deserves to feel safe, cared for, and loved. I assure you that I put all my energy into caring for your pets, and I will always treat them as I do my own.
“Yshonda was absolutely wonderful to work with. We were a bit nervous because we have two fur babies with two different personalities and unique needs and Yshonda was very accommodating and flexible and was able to set our minds at ease. The babies are comfortable with her and seem to really enjoy her company. She’s friendly, personable and obviously loves dogs. She’s an amazing sitter and I would recommend her to anyone especially people who have never tried a dog sitter before. Check her out!”
About: I owned a dog growing up and cared for and trained one with my family. I sit for friends and family from time to time and I love to play and take dogs for walks and, if they are able, runs of up to a few miles! I have a fenced in yard, and my kids (4, 8) are also great with animals. I work from home. With the exception of rare travel days, school drop-offs, and evening events, I will always be around the house to care for your pup. Your pet will get the attention it needs, as I work from home and I have a fenced in yard, as well as young boys that are great with animals. Frequent outside visits and play times are very doable.
About: Growing up my family owned a welsh springer spaniel. He was one of my best friends. I felt the same excitement he did when I walked in our front door to his excited jumping. After 13 years, he passed away of old age. Since then I have wanted to get a dog of my own, but I’m waiting until my husband and I get a house to take that step. In the meantime, I love caring for other family dogs. This is a super fun side job for me. I love all types of dogs, have experience with senior dogs, and am happy to care for more than one pet from the same home (whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, etc.). If your dog is nervous around new people, I will make sure to give them the care, attention, and space that they need. I always give frequent potty breaks, feed them at their regular time, and am very careful around doorways (so no one runs off on any solo adventures!). I always do an initial home visit with my husband so I can meet your pets before setting up a first booking with a new customer. I send great picture updates, so hopefully you won’t miss your dog too much. You will undoubtedly love how passionate I am about keeping your pet in a safe, loving environment while you are away. I am currently working as an 8th grade teacher. I am able to get to your home between the hours of 4pm-10pm on weeknights. I am available all day on Saturdays. I am available Sundays after 10:30am. I am available to do home visits to feed your pets, groom with a brush/bath, play their favorite games, go on long walks or runs, and spend the night if you need a house sitter. I can also take care of other pets including cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, etc. If you need someone to water plants while you are away, I can take care of that too!
“Dean is an awesome dog sitter! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with him for the night! Dean made sure to send updates and pictures! Our dog had so much fun with Dean and his resident pup! We would be happy to book him again!”
“I will always bring my fur kiddo to Dan and holly if they’re available! The made me feel so comfortable! This was my 2nd time using them and I never felt more relaxed with them having my boy!”
About: For over forty years we’ve always had dogs in our home. We have a sweet pitbull mix that we adopted last year. She came from a home with several dogs so she loves to meet and make new friends. We enjoy providing a good home to animals and we look forward to caring for your pets. Potty breaks can be provided every two hours. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to run, play fetch, or explore in our fenced backyard. We try to follow the same routine as you would for your pet at home. We only care for two dogs at a time as we have a dog of our own. The dogs have free run of the house if the owner doesn’t specify otherwise.
“Chatty seemed to really enjoy her time at Mikeila's house. Mikeila was very good at communicating with me and kept me informed during her stay. Chatty was excited to see Mikeila and couldn't wait to get into her house. I would highly recommend Mikeila for any dog sitting/daycare services.”
“Julia and her husband were so much nice to Ginger, that Ginger refused to come back to us while picking her up Max, their handsome puppy is Ginger's new companion and they're best friends now. Julia updated us with lot of pics and videos and they took care of her like their own baby. Highly recommend their service and I would undoubtedly leave Ginger here anyday and I'm going to be their repeat client. Thanks a lot again.”
About: Since 2020, I have provided consistent care for a variety of dogs and cats, ranging from energetic puppies to adult dogs with unique personalities and care needs. Through caring for family pets, foster dogs, and client pets, I have developed experience with feeding routines, exercise, leash handling, medication administration, basic behavior reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment while owners are away. My sister's five-year-old Goldendoodle, Theo, has been one of the dogs I have cared for most extensively. I regularly pick him up from daycare, provide overnight and multi-day care, take him on hikes and walks, and reinforce positive behaviors. Through consistent training and positive reinforcement, I taught him to greet visitors calmly by sitting patiently before receiving attention, helping him manage his excitement and practice good manners. In addition, I assisted my older sister with the care of her foster dogs, giving me the opportunity to work with more than 15 dogs of varying breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. This experience strengthened my ability to quickly build trust with new dogs, recognize individual needs, and adapt my care approach accordingly. Most recently, I completed a week-long house-sitting assignment caring for a dog and cat. My responsibilities included administering medications, maintaining feeding and hydration schedules, providing daily exercise through multiple-mile walks, sending regular photo updates to the owners, keeping the home clean and secure, and maintaining a fresh, odor-free litter box. I take pride in providing dependable, attentive care that gives pet owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a flexible schedule to accommodate your dog care needs all throughout the work day, weekends and some evenings as well. I am open to any care needs you have, including at my own house if needed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any household rules. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior, energy level, and surroundings to ensure their safety. I also provide plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection based on each pet’s needs. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy, well cared for, and maintaining their regular routine while they’re away.

“Devon is excellent. I had some difficulties in managing the app but they were respectful and communicative go get it all straight in taking care of my Aussie. Highly recommend!”
“I have had my sweet little dog for over 15 years. No one has walked her except for family members and the people at doggy daycare. She is also deaf and partially blind. So I was extremely nervous to have somebody else walk her. But this was perfect! Leandrea did a great job with Jolie! She was on time, didn’t mind Jolie dragging her around the condo building several times, and give her kisses. It was wonderful to hear and to see Jolie happy and excited in all the pictures.”
“Tanya took care of my two dogs while I was out. She is simply amazing. Excellent communication and reliable. She is clearly a lover of all animals and treated my dogs like she’s known them forever. Will definitely book again”
“Angela took such good care of our boys! She was on time, a great communicator and sent awesome photos! Would highly recommend her for your pet’s care needs!”
About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm experienced with dogs from all walks of life. You name it, I'm down for it. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.
About: I have had pets all of my life, a mix between dogs and cats! I’ve always grown up with animals in my life and loving being with them and taking care of them! I currently typically work evenings, which gives me time to dog walk during mornings and afternoons while most people are working. Dog walking is also a great way to get exercise for me! I make sure that my pets in my life feel loved and want to pass that on to other pets. Taking care of our pets is more than just feeding them and taking them to use the bathroom. It’s about making sure they have fun and are happy.
About: You dog will feel comfortable with me because I will give them the attention they need. I know how to train puppies as well like, potty training and basic commands. I will bathe and groom your dog if you would allow me to. My time will be focused solely on your dog and nothing else. I have always had a love for dogs and I have been around them my whole life. I live with two dogs now and I dog sit my sisters dog when she goes to work sometimes. I occasionally walk dogs in my neighborhood and I will do up to 5 in one day if it’s not too hot. I always make sure the ground isn’t too hot before walking the dogs and if it is we will stay in the grass areas for the walk. I hope you will take the time and consider letting me watch you dogs. I am working part time but I am able to stay in anywhere as long as I am able to drive to work in Columbus! Tuesdays and Thursdays are my only late evenings, with me getting off work at 9 pm but monday and wednesday I get off at 3 and saturdays I get off at 6! I am completely free on sundays and fridays and my schedule is fixed so there are no surprises! I can easily follow any rules you set for you pet and make it so we are both comfortable being with each other. I can have play time, walks, and I will pay attention to what you pet needs.
About: In addition to growing up with family pets, I've been a mom (and step-mom) to two cats and fish for the past four years. I've been a regular point of contact for friends needing dog walks or drop-in care. I'm excited to extend my services and make new furry, four-legged (or no-legged!) friends. I'm a work from home professional and welcome the opportunity to step away from my desk, whether that's to check in on your pets at home or stretch their legs (and mine)! I approach pet sitting with respect for your pet's routine and individual care needs. I believe in regular communication and in providing attentive, detailed care.
About: (IN MILWAUKEE ONLY IN THE SUMMER) I’ve had over two years of experience making sure that families are reassured and guaranteed that their pets are loved and in good hands when families are away Pet care would fit into my daily life, I currently have two dogs and I’ve cared for them for over three years now every day I have a fenced yard when I am taking care of animals at my own house and have the ability to make sure that there is green space for them to get some exercise.
About: My husband and I have been dog sitting for friends and coworkers for the last few years here in Milwaukee, and are hoping to expand by watching pups here on Rover. We recently bought a house with a fenced in yard and are excited to be able to offer that as a play space for pups we care for. Our Hazel does really well one on one with dogs, though it can take her a bit to warm up to new dogs. We would love to care for your dog while you are away! We exercise our border collie several times a day, whether that be walks, back yard play, or dog park visits. We both work from home and have a fenced in backyard, which makes potty breaks and play easy! I have a private fenced in backyard. We usually keep Hazels toys out away when we have guest dogs here as well, just to avoid any conflict between the dogs!

“Harper was great! She knew how to handle my pittie/boxer mix, who can be a handful. She was very thorough, giving me updates and pics during and after the visit. My doggo loved her and I will definitely rebook!”

“I knew Rupert would be in excellent care from the moment we met Rebecca & her family prior to his stay. They are very friendly, easy-going people who clearly enjoy welcoming new dogs into their home. Rupert is very social & has a lot of energy. It was perfect that they have dogs of their own & a large fenced-in yard, giving Rupert plenty of room & freedom to run & play with his new friends. I appreciated the daily check-ins, complete with pictures & videos & short reports about how Rupert was doing. I will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Laura did amazing with Romeo, she updated us everyday on how he was doing and was very responsive. Romeo was in very good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“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 ☺️”
“Katrina was a great sitter! She updated us regularly throughout the visit on how our pup was doing. We did one day of daycare with her before an overnight weekend and that worked perfectly! Our pup was so comfortable with her and they got along great! We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“We’ve used Joe and his wife twice in the past month to watch our dogs. The first time was for a 10-day trip out of the country. Our dogs can be a bit skittish but we’re comfortable and well-cared for while we were away. I appreciated the daily check-ins to let me know all was going well.”
“Kelli was amazing with my dog Dusty!! She sent frequent updates throughout my time away and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. My dog definitely loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend Kelli and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Marilynn was UNBELIEVABLE with my dog!! He’s a difficult rescue and she was aware of it, but gave him a chance. He doesn’t tolerate other dogs, but by the end of his 24 hour stay he was playing in the yard with several other dogs (all larger than him). I was in shock. She is truly the dog whisperer and I’d trust Todd with her any time. Thank you so much, Marilynn!!!! You truly do love pets. ❤️”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Lacey was an amazing dog sitter! This was our first time leaving our 1year old lab and she handled him with such grace. We received so many updates and videos throughout the weekend. She took such great care of him - he came home as though nothing had changed. Dune was also such a wonderful pup companion. I would rebook again and again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary and would highly recommend her!! She boarded our dog in her home for nine nights. She was extremely responsive and flexible, and sent lots of pictures with our dog playing and going on walks to his favorite places. We could tell how much she enjoys animals. Thank you for taking such good care of Auggie! 😀”
“It was my pups first time staying with a new person, and staying overnight somewhere other than his house! And he had the absolute best time! Debbie was so kind to always give updates, pictures and reply to questions/messages. I plan to definitely send Kuzie back, total trust!”
“Blythe was an incredible sitter and went above and beyond caring for my nervous little guy! She even bought him a new toy and replenished his food when I didn’t provide enough for an extended stay! I was so nervous about leaving my dog for the first time and I was so glad I chose Blythe. She sent so many pictures and updated me frequently. Anyone in the area should consider her first!”
“Dan and Holly were excellent sitters for our dog! After our meet and great we were extremely comfortable leaving Wendy with this kind couple. Dan was very thorough in the questions he asked, and was open to any questions we had. He will also, as much as you'd like, provide pictures and descriptions of your pets stay while you are away. We would highly recommend Dan and will definitely use him again in the future. Thanks Dan!”
“Angela is simply wonderful. She took excellent care of our 13 year old Pit Bull mix while we were on our two week vacation. Our dog wasn’t used to being away from us that long and since he had always received a lot of attention and care, we were worried about finding someone who would take just as good care of him. From the moment we met Angela, we felt completely at ease. Her warm, positive attitude immediately reassured us, and she wasn’t fazed at all by our dog’s hip issues and reduced mobility. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was extremely well cared for, and we are so grateful to Angela for the love and attention she gave him. We would absolutely choose her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Looking for the ONE? Erin is perfect with my 11 yr old Chihuahua! She boarded him for 6 nights, sent pictures, kept me updated every step of the way! He was comfortable with her dogs, happy, got in lots of walks and some cuddle time! She is professional, courteous, caring and really thoughtful about the needs of your pooch! Don’t hesitate to book a stay or walks with her! I highly recommend! 👍👏”
“Wallen had such a good time ! He really enjoyed being with Zachary! They bonded instantly. He sent us pictures and updates. Its been over a year since wallen has been boarded and it’s always nice knowing your bay is so well taken care of”
“My husband and I planned a 4 day trip & I researched Rover. I found Hanna and we met a couple weeks prior. Molly was 10 months old so I was nervous hoping she’d get along with Hanna’s 2 dogs. It worked out great and Hanna was so welcoming. I highly recommend Hanna. She sent me pictures of Molly having a great time. She always responded to any text right away. I’m looking forward to Molly visiting again soon.”
“Sara was both completely professional and warm/kind with Kiara. She was ready to set up a meet & greet when it worked for us. She was also patient when our schedule changed a bit for drop off and pick up, and let us shift the times a bit. Most importantly, Kiara had a great time with plenty of walks and trips to the dog part with her new dog friend Josie.”
