“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”
“It is always a pleasure having Mikayla and Skyler taking care of our little boy. I am sure he enjoys being at their place. Whenever we drop him off, he doesn’t look back and walks right into the house. I would totally recommend Mikayla and Skyler for your little one.”
“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“Leigha took such good care of Buddy while we were away on a 10 day mission trip to El Salvador. She and her family went above and beyond to make him feel at home and loved. She also kept us updated with pictures and texts every day. I would highly recommend Leigha”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“Amanda was awesome. We had to leave Pringles for an 8 night trip and I was very at ease knowing he was with someone that would take absolute care of him and treat him as her own. She kept me updated and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone.”
“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”
About: A little about myself, I am currently a teacher at John Battle High School. I can work most days and weekends but sometimes days conflict due to my work schedule. I have always been around pets my whole life and love interacting with them! I work well with all animals and have the most experience with cats and dogs. I offer the follow offers: drop in visits, walks, or in home sitting due to have two of my own dogs. I am looking forward to helping and becoming friends with your pets! They will be treated as if they are my own! I can make sure your pets are well taken care of. I have two of my own that will love keeping yours company and playing. I have two friendly dogs to keep yours company. Everything that will be needed for your dog will be sure to be taken care of.
About: I’ve had dogs in the home since I was a small child and host small dogs (under 20 pounds) in my home. I'm new to booking through Rover, but can supply references, if requested. I’m excited to open my door (and heart) to your pup for day visits or overnights. I have one super tough 6 pound Shihtzu-Chihuahua in the house so your pups must be friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with puppies and caring for senior dogs. I work from home so I'm at home all day and night during the week. On weekends, I'm never gone for more than 3- 4 hours at any one time. Most of the time, I'm home with the fur babies. I have a house with ample room to welcome up to 2 dogs (same owner) at a time. I have a fenced back yard area allowing for exercise and free roaming. I never leave pets outdoors unattended. Dog's will normally sleep in my bed with me, but totally fine if they prefer their own bed in my room.
About: Hi! I’m a teacher and lifelong animal lover who enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I’m a reliable pet sitter who provides daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention so your pet stays happy and comfortable. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to details—qualities that carry over into how I care for animals. I always follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I also send regular photo updates and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is for them to feel loved, comfortable, and stress-free until you return. As a teacher, I have a very structured and reliable daily routine. During the work week, I go home every day on my lunch break to let my own fur babies outside, check on them, and give them some attention. Because I already make time for my pets in the middle of the day, it’s easy for me to incorporate caring for other pets into my routine as well. My schedule allows me to provide care before work, during my lunch break, and again in the afternoons and evenings. This makes it easy for me to handle walks, potty breaks, feedings, and playtime throughout the day. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m used to making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Since I already prioritize my own pets’ routines, adding another furry friend to my daily schedule fits very naturally for me. When caring for pets, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and relaxed as possible by following their normal routine. I always make sure pets have fresh water, are fed according to their schedule, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding routines, medications if needed, walks, and preferred play activities. I also make sure pets get plenty of affection and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their owners are away. In my own home, pets are treated like family. They receive lots of love, supervision, and a safe, calm environment. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, and comfortable places to rest. Communication is very important to me, so I send regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wood.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
