About: I have had many kinds of pets, from turtles to birds to cats to dogs to horses. Now that I'm retired, I have time, knowledge and experience to share with others who need support for the care of their pets. A retired teacher who is home most of the time. I have time to give, and I would like to help others with pet care. I love to walk, and I'd love to walk your dog. I have time to stop by and care for your pets in your home. If you need to board your pet, I have a quiet home and would enjoy having your pet in my home. My home is I have a fenced yard for dogs and cozy boxes by windows and two litter boxes for cats. I am careful to follow owner's instructions to follow the routines their pets are used to and to provide visiting pets with any particular medical care they need as well as affectionate attention and exercise.

“Gabriella gave Milo the best care for the price. Gave updates, pictures and videos. Was responsive. And Milo had a great time!! Very reliable and above & beyond service. Thank you Gabriella for watching Milo so last minute. We really appreciate you and would love to use your services again!”



“Michaela was great! I could tell from the pictures that LiLi was very comfortable while staying with her. Michaela has a sweet personality and I know she made sure LiLi got lots of snuggles while she was with her.”


About: New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.

“Faith , her husband, and her their three pups were very welcoming - both at the meet and greet and for Bertie's day long stay. They have a large fenced back yard and a dog friendly house. I appreciated their quick replies to texts, and of course I loved their kind words about my great dog!”


About: Now in Elkhart, IN! I first started out in the dog world working in doggy daycares. I started to realize there’s a huge amount of wonderful dogs missing out on fun simply because they don’t fit daycare or dog park standards. I was watching dogs get turned away for creating problems out of boredom or stress due to the chaotic environment. I saw owners leaving confused and dogs leaving misunderstood and even labeled. Every dog deserves to be out and about! That’s when I started my own walking/exercise business out of St. Charles MO. Six years later and we’ve had a BLAST! I provide customized outings that cater to your dog and what they love most. Outings build confidence, burn energy, enforce good behavior and teach new skills. We explore a variety of activities like biking, hiking, swimming, dry land mushing and frisbee. We have fun with strengths and work on weaknesses. I am looking forward to bringing the fun to the dogs of IN! 2 hour field trips are available at $50/outing I offer three different services: neighborhood walk, field trip and day care - on the go! Neighborhood Walks consist of exploring anywhere within walking distance of your home. They can be booked for 30mins - 1.5 hr. Field Trips allow for more exploring, more exposure training and more intense exercise. We will drive to a park away from home. These outings are 2hrs. $50 first dog; $35 each additional Daycare -on the go! is the full package. We go all over! This is a 5hr day from time of pickup to drop off. Daycare - on the go! is a group outing where your dog will meet and build a relationship with two - three other day camp dogs. They spend the day together as a group hiking, swimming, biking, exploring, playing and training! My daycare dogs have more park patches than most people! Solo daycare options are available as well in case your dog does not particularly enjoy other four legged friends. $80/dog I have been so incredibly lucky to run my dog Field Trip and Daycare - on the go! business for the past six years successfully and safely in MO.

“Anna was great to work with. We're new to Rover and she answered any questions and was very accommodating to our needs for the day care. We're from out of town and using Rover and Anna made our stay easy for times during the day when our dog could not be with us. We would definitely use Anna when back in the area.”

About: I have been training and caring for dogs for 14 years. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and Professional Service, Therapy, and Pet Dog Trainer. I own All About Dogs Training.

About: I grew up with cats & dogs. We always had at least two in our house as kids and I've owned lots and lots of pets with human names. Since I’m a teacher I am available all summer long. I am an early riser and can accommodate all times you may need for your pets My pets get walked four times a day and seem to be my mode of exercise. I can accommodate early and late hours in particular.

About: Within the past couple years I started my own small business in pet transportation. I received licensing from the USDA and am knowledgeable in best practices in caring for pets while their families are away. I truly believe that our pets are our family and will aim to make your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Beyond my own pets, transporting gave me experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I do have references to attest for the high standard of care I will provide.

This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.

I know that with Roy that will not be the case. He will go out of his way to ensure that you and your pets have an exceptional experience.”
