Personalized care for your dog or cat - Waldo
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Waldo
“WOW! Emily and Paul were absolutely exceptional! They met Charlie’s needs and even went above. Charlie was so happy when we picked him up compared to another dogsitter where he was traumatized when we picked him up. We were well informed throughout the three day stay and had great photos of him.”
“Our dog typically takes a really long time to feel comfortable at a new place, but she felt at home within a day. We were sent lots of pictures and updates, and the entire household was friendly, communicative, and very accommodating to our schedule!”
“Cathy and her family were amazing with our dog! She sent me pictures updating her stay. Our dog took well with her dogs, children and strangers during walks and her stay. We will definitely book with Cathy again!”
“Diane and Dale went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and care for Oliver. He fit right in with their dog, Lexi, enjoyed the walks around the pond and was well-loved. I highly recommend them!”
“We love Monique. Looey our goofy and lovable Catahoula seems to have a great time when he is there and happy when he returns. Can't say much else other than we hwve complete confidence in Monique to care for Looey”
“Jesus and his family took great care of our 2 French bulldogs. They sent pictures, took the dogs on walks, and made sure our dogs were comfortable. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend!!”
“Laura boarded Wiley for a weekend. Wiley was well taken care of and enjoyed her Yard. Wiley often has anxiety when we are gone but adapted to Laura and family nicely. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. Laura sent photos and communicated how Wiley was adapting. All went perfectly. I highly recommend Laura to watch your dog.”
“Our Linus had such an enjoyable time with Mary! He was comfortable with her from the minute he walked in the door! Mary made it so easy for us too! She had so many toys, blankets, bowls, leash etc, it made preparing for his stay a breeze! Mary's love for dogs is evident and her caring nature made it easy to know we were leaving our baby in good hands!! Wish I could give her more than 5 stars!! She is the BEST!”
“Rebecca and her family took excellent care of our dog Evie while we were out of town. She was wonderful at communicating—sending us regular updates and adorable pictures that really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. We could tell Evie was happy, loved, and getting plenty of playtime and attention. Communication was spot-on from booking through drop-off, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We’re already planning to book with Rebecca again next time we travel—she’s our new go-to sitter! Highly recommend Rebecca and her family to anyone needing a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Had consistent updates and felt very comfortable leaving Furb with Hannah & Braxton B while we were on vacation. Furb said it went super well and already misses his new friends.”
“Frankie did an amazing job of taking care of Sammi. She sent pictures and video. Very sweet,kind, dependable. I felt very comfortable going away for the weekend entrusting Sammi to Frankie and her business partner Gabe!! ??”
“Mila loved her time at Shannon's house. She was so wore out when she got home. Shannon sent us a daily video/picture to show us how happy she was. It was nice knowing Mila was under good care while we were gone for the weekend.”
“Cheryl was great with our dog Ellie and our cats! You could tell she really cared about our animals and took the stress of leaving them alone off of our plates. We will book with her again!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.
“Taylor was great! She gave us updates throughout the stay and made our dog feel at home. She was quick to respond initially when we were setting up. We are ecstatic to find a great dog sitter nearby!”
“Emma was awesome! She had our shetland sheepdog for over two weeks. We did a meet and greet to make sure everyone would get along. It went well and we were very comfortable leaving Nikki for a long time with Emma. Communication was fast for everything. Emma sent pics and an update almost everyday. Nikki was clearly enjoying herself. We would definitely have Emma dogsit Nikki again.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was pleased to find an experienced host close to my home. Salena was good about confirming our logistics and sent a couple of updates during the stay. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with her and her pets. I will look for her again, the next time I need to travel.”

“Thank you so much! We can tell from the photos you shared that Josie had a wonderful time playing outside and being spoiled with her treats! We will definitely reach out to have you watch our pup again!”
“Cindy is an awesome sitter who tolerated bad kitty behavior and found ways to deter it! Kitties were fed, boxes were cleaned, and those who wanted love were given attention. ❤️ Even our terrified little torbie came out of hiding to check her out! Highly recommend!”
“Samantha is awesome! My cats came out and let her give them treats and cuddles so they obviously liked her :) Looking forward to working with her again soon!”
“Maria consistently does a fantastic job taking care of my pets. She arrives promptly during the designated time, ensures they have their potty breaks, refreshes their water, and gives them plenty of love and attention. Her Rover cards are detailed and include lots of pictures. I know that are in good hands with her!”
“First time using anyone for staying in-home to sit my cat. Patty was exceptional in the care of my not-so-healthy cat. I had complete confidence in Patty and my cat is doing well upon our return. The “extras” Patty does is above and beyond. I would highly recommend Patty!”
“Judy did a great job of keeping our cat well fed and cared for while we were gone for two weeks. We have never used a service like this and were concerned about leaving him for that long. Judy's daily visits not only provided for his physical needs of feeding, and keeping his litter box clean, but also provided love and attention. Our cat loves attention and affection. Judy spent time giving him both, each day. She sent several pictures each day too, which were nice to see!”
“Mya was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she went above and beyond any expectations! She cared for my animals so well and kept me updated which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend.”
“Natalie was wonderful with my 2 little boys!! The day before she was to come I had to change the times and she was so accommodating. She also sent pictures, which I loved! I will definitely contact her again to help!! :))”
“Brittany is amazing and professional. She kept my cat happy and stimulated during her visits. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for someone that’s great with taking care of cats.”
“We will use Gina over and over again! She is thoughtful, responsive, courteous, and (most importantly) wonderful with our dogs. We are so lucky to have someone like Gina who cares for our fur babies the way we do.”
About: I grew up on a farm with many barn cats and house cats. I’ve dealt with all ages from kittens to seniors and have no problem with any! I always prefer cuddly cats, but shy and fiesty cats deserve all the love too!
About: I provide calm, reliable care for cats, especially those who are shy, independent, or sensitive to change. I take a low-pressure approach and let each cat set the pace for interaction. I’m attentive to routines, appetite, litter box habits, and subtle behavior changes, and I understand that many cats prefer consistency over attention from new people. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable and stress free while you’re away, whether that means quiet companionship or simply maintaining their normal routine. I have a healthcare background, so I'm attentive to subtle changes in behavior or routine.
About: I grew up in an animal loving family! Grew up with dogs my whole life, I’ve taught dogs ages 2-12 how to Sit, Shake, Lay down, Stay, High Five and Up High! I’m very good with dealing with all dogs whether laid back or very hyper! I worked at several dog daycares in the last 4 years! I work a full time M-F job all day, 8a-5p. I also work very part time at another job, so I try to get get out whenever I can as early as possible or go out later as as soon as i can to hang out and take care of animals because they really mean a lot too me and bring me the most joy! I’m a huge outdoorsy person so I love walks with my dog!! As for Ganja, he lovesss the outside so we have the back door open with the screen door shut for him, he does like going outside so we make sure to put on his harness and leash and keep him close to us! My biggest priority is safety, making sure the pet doesn’t run away, or get injured in anyway! My Izy is extremely good off leash, I give her that freedom so she can run all around and get her energy out, she knows where not to go very well!! When on walks she is leashed up always!!
About: I have always had animals around in my life. Overall, I have had the pleasure of having 8 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, 1 hamster, and lots of fish (both freshwater and saltwater). Additionally, I have had the opportunity to care for the cats of family members. I have experience with: -Positive Reinforcement Training -Leash Handling -Muzzle Usage -Reactivity Training Guided by Licensed Animal Behaviorists -Veterinary Medication Administration Currently, I have one dog, Josie, who is an Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler Mix. Josie is dog reactive, and I have spent an extensive amount of time working on her training and care. I am currently available to provide pet care Monday-Thursday from 4:30 pm - 9:30 pm. Oftentimes, I am also available to provide pet care at any time on Saturdays or Sundays. I have availability at any time during the day during these days in July 2026: 7/10, 7/11, 7/18, and 7/31. Since I have a dog at home who is anxious and reactive, I am not able to care for your pet in my own home; however, I would love to care for your fur baby where they are most comfortable -- in your home or in your neighborhood. I typically arrive with small treats in a pouch to share, ensuring my greeting is always positive. While at your home, I will ensure your pet receives exercise/play, multiple potty breaks, and refill water/food as needed. I believe in positive reinforcement, ensuring my interactions with your pet are always kind and respectful.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels — from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive attention are to your pet’s well-being. I’ve also worked with shy or reactive dogs, and I’m comfortable following any special instructions to make sure your pup feels safe and loved while you’re away. My schedule is currently wide open, so I’m flexible and ready to accommodate your dog’s needs — whether it’s daily walks, last-minute bookings, or ongoing care. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Let’s find a time that works best for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always keep dogs on-leash during walks (unless in a secure, off-leash area with your permission), avoid unsafe routes, and stay alert to other animals or hazards. I closely follow your instructions and routines to keep your pet feeling secure and cared for.
“Crystal was very nice at our Meet & Greet and made sure to take any important notes down. She followed all my pet care instructions perfectly & made sure my babies were taken good care of! I felt relaxed knowing that she had it all handled. I will be booking with her again in the future!”

“She was AMAZING! Very flexible when we needed to last minute change from daycare to over night stay. Was great at communication and sending us lots of updates and pictures too! Would definitely book again!!”
About: We recently lost our senior dog, so we have lots of doggy love available for your pet! I work from home, so your pet will get lots of attention, frequent visits to the backyard, and a walk at lunchtime. I work from home full time, so I'm here to interact with your pet and provide frequent breaks for play and potty. My boyfriend gets home from work in the late afternoon and will shower your pet with affection as well! I have a small, unfenced yard and will let your dog outside on a long lead to keep him/her safe and under my supervision. Your dog will have access to kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom, and up to 3 bedrooms. Basement will not be accessible.
“Frankie was so nice. We met before the scheduled date. She gave a detailed and great description before the drop off time and made sure everything was fine. Riley came back happy.”
“You have a great place for a pup to hang out! Thank you for taking care of Duke, he must have had a great time because he’s all tuckered out! We hope you’re available next time we are in the area. Take care, and thanks!”
“Gilian was so patient with Oakley on his first sitter experience!! She kept me updated on how he was, concerns she had, and pictures. We got stuck in a family emergency and she came through to watch Oakley last minute, I highly recommend her!!”
About: Since I was little I have always loved animals, I feel that I have a unique connection with them. From 10 years old. In Ecuador, I was taking care of dogs. The neighbors have trusted me for the attention I gave their pets, for playing with them, etc. But since I arrived in the United States I have not been able to continue with that hobby. I took care of the dogs of the owner of the house where he lived for 6 years, giving him all the love, patience and daily attention he needed. I don't have much real experience with food, walking and bathing. I am reliable, friendly and treat everyone like a family. I am available from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday mornings until 10 a.m. and in the afternoon from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays only in the mornings until 11 p.m. My first language is Spanish but I don't speak English very well or fluently, I know basic things but I understand most of them. I give food and water on time. I walk them, play a little and keep everything clean. I tell the owner how it goes with photos.
“Emily communicated great before and during our dog’s puppy daycare with her. Her and her husband were both super friendly and listened to our comments regarding our puppy. Our dog got along great with their dog, Ruby. This was a really great experience and I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone.”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or simply giving a dog some extra affection, I treat every pup like my own. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, basic training, and caring for senior dogs or puppies I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I love being outdoors and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs I provide a safe and loving environment for every dog. Walks are always on a leash, and I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort. At home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I can also follow any specific instructions you give to keep your dog’s routine consistent.
About: I love animals, and I care deeply for them. Their company never bothers or annoys me. It makes me happy to take care of them. 😊 I've been taking care of animals since I was little, and I've had a variety of them. I'll never judge an animal or get angry with one; they are pure and true. I've owned and looked after hamsters, lizards, birds, dogs, and cats of different shapes, sizes, and ages throughout my whole life, providing the necessities they need. I'm currently free all the time, so I can always be there. I can be ready anytime during the day and for a decent amount of hours. As a pet sitter, I prioritize providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for furry friends like yours, either in my home or outside and/or your home.
“Meagan is a 10/10, would definitely recommend!! Meagan is an amazing dog sitter and gives us the peace of mind we needed. Our puppy, Finnegan, runs to her at drop off and has a fun-filled day with lots of indoor and outdoor activity with built in rest time as well. Meagan is extremely mindful and takes the best care of our puppy.”
“Monique was so considerate of my needs and my boy’s! She saved me so much hassle by taking Manny on such short notice and sent me updates throughout the day. She’s amazing!”

“Emma was great, she went above & beyond to make sure Indagos stay was great! She's so good with him. I'm so thankful she likes him & Indago liked her. I was worried being a blue healer with lots of energy. Only God could provide such a great dog sitter for him. 💛🐕💛”
“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”
About: Growing up, my mom was the Eau Claire County Humane Officer, FEMA Animal Emergency Management volunteer coordinator, and general manager of the Chippewa County Humane Association. Throughout my childhood I helped care for thousands of dogs, cat, rabbits, and even a handful of lizards and snakes. I am well versed in animal behavior, safety, and empathy! I am new to the world of personalized in home care, but hope to gain your trust and grow my experience. I am a homeschooling mom of one 6 year old (who LOVES dogs!) and our schedule is very flexible. We have a 3 year old animal friendly Australian Shepherd who we walk daily within our neighborhood, on the interurban trail (5 minute walk away) and run off lease on the beach when there's no one around! My 6 year old is very animal empathetic, and is always learning behavior and cues from our own Aussie. Having a high energy household, I understand the importance of plenty of time spent outside. We live in a large, upper, 2 bedroom apartment and can easily accommodate temporary space for one or two more pets (of the same family). We have a park with an open field for playing ball, and the interurban trail are both a short walk away. We have plenty of green space around our building for shorter potty breaks. I have a large Ruffland crate available for your pets use.

About: Hello! I am Victoria. I am going to school part-time for Business Management and work full time on 3rd shift, which gives me time during the off hours to drop in and check on your pet as well as take them for a nice walk during the day. I’ve had and taken care of pets since I was 10, mainly dogs, lizards and hamsters. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors and am comfortable giving medication as needed. I work 3rd shift. I am available between my sleep schedule, mid day to mid afternoon to care for your pet with drop-ins and take for walks, usually 20-30min. I care for the pet as they were my own. There’s no shortage of walks, scratches, love and cuddles. And any other enrichment the pet may need.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I currently have four dogs and have helped care for many others through family and friends. I also grew up with cats, so I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. Beyond caring for animals, I'm a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), where I provide compassionate, dependable care to people every day. Being a CNA has strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and ability to stay calm and responsible in any situation which are qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I'm heading to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities this fall, and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to cover some schooling dues and spend time doing something I genuinely love. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work part time as a CNA working second shift. So, I am always available until 2pm. But, catch me on a day I don’t work at the healthcare facility, and I’ll be free all day! Sometimes weekends can be hard, however I always find ways to make everything work out. As I live under my parents households still, I have two homes. One house has a large fenced in yard, with two friendly dogs that live there. The other home, has a large open field in the back, which unless the animal is off the leash trained, we have long leads for them to run free (ish). This home also has two even more friendly dogs who would love the company. Both of these homes are located in nice neighborhoods in the town of Plymouth.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels — from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive attention are to your pet’s well-being. I’ve also worked with shy or reactive dogs, and I’m comfortable following any special instructions to make sure your pup feels safe and loved while you’re away. My schedule is currently wide open, so I’m flexible and ready to accommodate your dog’s needs — whether it’s daily walks, last-minute bookings, or ongoing care.

About: I have experience in a wide variety of animal care (having worked at my local wildlife sanctuary).

I am currently searching for full time employment, but as of right now I am very flexible! Once a do acquire employment, I am still flexible but will update my availability! I can follow instructions to the letter, and offer enrichment activities such as walks or playtime. During overnights, I will follow house safety procedures as well as be attentive to your pet throughout the night. I am experienced in special needs pets and administering medication.

“Rover asks me how well Sylvia enjoyed her time with Travis. Though I’ve asked her a couple of times, she just won’t elaborate. What I can tell you is that Travis is a good communicator and is prompt. 🙂”
“Sthephany is great! She was available on very short notice for me and still found the time to come meet my dog (a little chihuahua!) beforehand. When it’s cold, my dog can be a stubborn walker. Sthephany had her out as long as she could and the stayed and hung out with her for the rest of the time- which is so appreciated! Very friendly and I will be rebooking!”
“Outstanding. Leah had great immediate rapport with Cord and he was always interested in going with her. Leah always prompt, communicative, and cordial. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well!

I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
About: I have been a lifelong Westie owner, and have experienced puppy training to senior care as a pet owner. I have also owned and cared for a variety of animals: fish, small animals, reptiles, and amphibians! In addition to loving and caring for my own pets, I have cared for and done simple training with the pets of friends and family. My goal is for you to be able to build and maintain positive, safe routine so your pet feels secure. I have some experience administering some pet medications due to owning a senior dog with health issues, and would be willing to learn new procedures to assist your pet's health and well-being. In addition to pet care at home, my pasr work experience in retail Pet centers and as a custodian means that I am understanding of what is necessary to maintain a safe, clean space for your pet as part of the drop-in. I am currently working full-time as a teacher, so my availability will be limited to weekends until summer. During summer, I will have full flexibility to help you care for your pet, especially in the mornings! I am willing to do meet-and-greets prior to the service to familiarize myself with your pet and home. Please let me know if you have any preferred routes for walking due to past encounters, etc. I am a teacher, so evenings and weekends are my school-year availability. Great news for summer: it's all open! If you have questions, feel free to reach out! I try to provide high-quality interaction and positive reinforcement for all pets. It's my goal to maximize the session time to give your pet the care, attention, and activity they need. Finding out your pet's interests and care routine is very important to providing the best individualized care--let me know how you would like the time spent!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently care for four dogs and one cat of my own. Caring for multiple pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic playtime and long walks to quiet cuddles and sticking to feeding routines, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care. Also, I am comfortable and experienced in handling medication for dogs as one of my dogs at home has diabetes. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred days and times, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your furry friend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own four dogs and one cat, so I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I’ll also respect your pet’s routine, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Judy is great! She’s very communicative, respectful and responsible. She’s great at responding pretty fast as well, which makes planning so much easier for me. She takes very good care of my boy and sends lots of pictures. I trust her to take care of my boy. Highly recommend to book with her.”
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
About: I have taken care of dogs between the ages of 1-14 [human years] for many family members and neighbors since I was a teen. I have had two labradors and two golden retrievers throughout my lifetime, and have taken care of breeds ranging from Corgi to Vizsla to German Shepherd. I am very family-oriented, and will take care of your pups like they are my own! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to give lots of love and attention to your canine family members. I am a very active individual, and love to incorporate dogs into my routine to satisfy their energetic hearts and souls! I would love to hear about any particular needs, struggles, or enjoyed habits that your dogs may have. I want them to enjoy our time together as much as I will!!
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or simply giving a dog some extra affection, I treat every pup like my own. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, basic training, and caring for senior dogs or puppies I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I love being outdoors and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs I provide a safe and loving environment for every dog. Walks are always on a leash, and I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort. At home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I can also follow any specific instructions you give to keep your dog’s routine consistent.

“WOW! Emily and Paul were absolutely exceptional! They met Charlie’s needs and even went above. Charlie was so happy when we picked him up compared to another dogsitter where he was traumatized when we picked him up. We were well informed throughout the three day stay and had great photos of him.”
“Our dog typically takes a really long time to feel comfortable at a new place, but she felt at home within a day. We were sent lots of pictures and updates, and the entire household was friendly, communicative, and very accommodating to our schedule!”

“Laura boarded Wiley for a weekend. Wiley was well taken care of and enjoyed her Yard. Wiley often has anxiety when we are gone but adapted to Laura and family nicely. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. Laura sent photos and communicated how Wiley was adapting. All went perfectly. I highly recommend Laura to watch your dog.”
“Rebecca and her family took excellent care of our dog Evie while we were out of town. She was wonderful at communicating—sending us regular updates and adorable pictures that really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. We could tell Evie was happy, loved, and getting plenty of playtime and attention. Communication was spot-on from booking through drop-off, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We’re already planning to book with Rebecca again next time we travel—she’s our new go-to sitter! Highly recommend Rebecca and her family to anyone needing a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.
“Taylor was great! She gave us updates throughout the stay and made our dog feel at home. She was quick to respond initially when we were setting up. We are ecstatic to find a great dog sitter nearby!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was pleased to find an experienced host close to my home. Salena was good about confirming our logistics and sent a couple of updates during the stay. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with her and her pets. I will look for her again, the next time I need to travel.”
About: Since I was little I have always loved animals, I feel that I have a unique connection with them. From 10 years old. In Ecuador, I was taking care of dogs. The neighbors have trusted me for the attention I gave their pets, for playing with them, etc. But since I arrived in the United States I have not been able to continue with that hobby. I took care of the dogs of the owner of the house where he lived for 6 years, giving him all the love, patience and daily attention he needed. I don't have much real experience with food, walking and bathing. I am reliable, friendly and treat everyone like a family. I am available from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday mornings until 10 a.m. and in the afternoon from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays only in the mornings until 11 p.m. My first language is Spanish but I don't speak English very well or fluently, I know basic things but I understand most of them. I give food and water on time. I walk them, play a little and keep everything clean. I tell the owner how it goes with photos.
“Scott was great!! He was very accommodating with all of Sadie’s needs and our concerns. He mentioned a few activities that he would do and showed us where Sadie would go out and play. The area was fenced in and very secure. He has two dogs of his own and they were very friendly and Sadie got along great with them.We felt very comfortable after dropping Sadie with Scott. We highly recommend him, and would certainly use his services anytime.”

Great at dog parks and with other dogs, plenty of space.
“Ryan was a great host to my two boys. He was great to work with and went the extra mile to help me out in a diffacult situation where I had to travel with very short notice for work. I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking to board their dogs and will be using him in the future again!”
