This was our first experience with Rover, and Stephanie and her family went above and beyond our expectations! Daily updates and pictures were greatly appreciated! We have already booked another stay with them.

Pat was wonderful with our senior dog. His health worsened after we left and she kept him safe and comfortable until we returned home. We are forever grateful to her for how good she was to him.

Willis was great with our dog, he updated us frequently with pictures and made sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. Winter seemed to have a great time there, and warmed up to Willis and his home quickly. Would definitely recommend and book again!

You will never find anywhere a sweeter, more kind caregiver for your furbaby than Brenda. She is so much more now to Ruby and myself. SHE IS OUR FRIEND. Ruby’s “stay-cations” are as relaxing and fun for her as my trips are for me. WIN WIN. How often does that happen in life??!! Thank you Brenda for peace of mind.♥️♥️

I am so happy to have found an awesome place for my pup to stay when we are out of town! I felt totally comfortable that she was in good hands, safe and happy. Kayla sent me lots of pics and videos of my dog making herself right at home. I'd definitely use Kayla again!

She kept us updated on Iris all weekend and was super flexible with a last minute reservation. We could tell from the pictures Iris was getting all the love and attention she wanted while with her!

Very nice and understanding! I had my flight cancelled and Josie was very sweet about it and was willing to watch the dogs even longer then expected. Will be booking her again for my next trip. The dogs had a lot of fun and clearly were well taken care of.

Rachel was wonderful taking care Papi. She was very communicative and treated papi very well. He became attached to her children which was typical of Papi. I definitely recommend her as a sitter and will be looking to have her take him again.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life for friends and family. My fur babies are back home with my parents. After college, I moved from LA to WV. This app allows me to get my dose of puppy/kitty loving!! Working full time with breaks to go home as needed. Your babies will be well looked after regardless of the type of care chosen (walks, overnight stays, etc.) I live in a safe neighborhood with several neighborhood pets. While my backyard is not fenced in, I will make sure your babies are on a leash and watched closely!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have hands-on experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re out of town, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be home in the evenings and on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent pet care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet needs. Because my time outside of school is flexible and dependable, I can give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I provide loving, hands-on care tailored to each pet’s needs. At home, I have two cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with balancing playtime, exercise, and daily routines. I make sure my pets get plenty of attention and enrichment through play, and I walk my dog multiple times a day to keep him happy and healthy. I bring the same level of care, patience, and dedication to every pet I look after, treating them as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have four large dogs – three of my own and one foster. I also volunteer with local animal rescues and spend many Fridays at the Dog Pound, giving all the animals love, walks, vaccinations, and sometimes even a trip to my home (I’m always joking that I’m one dog away from a divorce – but he knew what he was getting into!) Joining the Rover community lets me share my passion for caring with other pet owners. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’m here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ll make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and keep you updated with plenty of pictures to give you peace of mind! I’m currently staying home with my babies so I will have plenty of time to love yours! Don’t be afraid to ask about my schedule! I have a full fenced in yard. Two of my dogs are inside. One roams freely during the day with a doggy door to the outside fenced in yard. One is kenneled during the day. Both are kenneled at night. One is outside full time (unless it’s freezing cold and I have to force him inside). I also have one large kennel outside where my foster dog stays most of the time. All dogs are up to date on vaccines and receive monthly flea tick and heart guard meds. As for your home, I’m up for a meet and greet depending on what you need!

About: I’m a professional dog trainer and boarding provider with lifelong experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds—from puppies to large working dogs. My training background allows me to provide individualized, structured care, especially for dogs with anxiety, reactivity, separation anxiety, or other behavioral challenges. My goal is always to keep your dog’s stay calm, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for pregnant dogs and newborn puppies, and my rescue work has given me valuable experience working with senior dogs and dogs with special needs. Dogs with more serious behavioral concerns may require a pre-boarding evaluation to ensure the best experience for everyone. Training sessions or private consultations can be added during your dog’s stay. Your dog will be understood, respected, and cared for like family. I provide full-time dog training and boarding, including weekends. I tailor care to each dog’s needs—whether it’s obedience, behavior support, socialization, or senior dog care. Since this is a home-based business, your fur babies become part of my daily life—spending time with me like family—while still enjoying a structured schedule.

Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I’m available most weekends and some evenings during the week. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets great care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I read so many reviews before I chose Christy to take care of my 10 week old puppy. I was so nervous to leave him with just anyone especially given that he’s a work in progress being potty trained. I wanted to be sure I found someone with the experience to care and love on my pup while I was away. Christy did not disappoint! I got so many updates and pictures while she was caring for him. I highly recommend her and would definitely choose her to keep my fur baby again!

Patti has taken care of our two fur babies twice now and we are very happy with her services. Our boys seem to really like Patti and they seem to enjoy their visits. From the pictures Patti sent us while watching our boys, the yard and patio seem perfect for small dogs without the worry of their escape. Believe me our Yorkie is an escape artist and staying with Patti we have no worries. We look forward to our next trip and booking our boy’s stay with Patti. Lynn & Denny Harley & Matey

About: I’ve mostly worked as an RN but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!
