About: I work from home, so your pup will rarely be alone for more than an hour or two. I have a sweet French Bulldog named Gus who loves playing with other dogs. I have a large, fenced-in yard and enjoy going on walks. I treat our dog like family, and I'll make sure your pup feels right at home too. I work from home and am available throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of attention. Will never be along for more than two hours at a time. I care for pets as if they were my own. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, family environment with a large fenced-in yard for outdoor time, regular walks, and lots of love. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they’re comfortable, stick to their normal routine, and keep owners updated so they can feel at ease while they’re away.
About: Attention to detail. Lots of love to give with kids grown and departed. We believe your animals are just as important as our friends and family. We work from home and have a small havanese dog as well as a small cat. Caring for another pup or two would be no problem at all! We have a fully fenced in back yard. A spacious home that is already dog friendly. And a very safe and beautiful neighborhood. Must be cat friendly. Lots of love and attention to give.
“Ashley was absolutely amazing!!!! We left our dog, Stella, with her for a week and a half while we got married and went on our honeymoon and felt like she was in the most capable hands possible. Ashley made sure we were kept up to date on everything and sent us plenty of pictures of our pup throughout the time she was there! She was extremely accommodating to us and made sure we felt comfortable with everything while we were away. When we picked Stella up she seemed extremely comfortable and at ease at Ashley’s house and around Ashley. We’re extremely grateful for Ashley and we will absolutely be using her again in the future. We 100% recommend Ashley for anyone looking to have a piece of mind while having to be away from your pet!”

“Danielle was great! She was very attentive to our dog Dylan, who stayed with her and her two pups for three nights, and Dylan got along with her dogs--Gunner and Ruby--swimmingly. She gave him his meds on schedule and took him for walks. She also greeted us outside when we arrived and invited us in, which was much appreciated. Oh, and she sent multiple pictures Dylan each day. We will use Danielle again.”
“Many heartfelt thanks for taking care of our pup for the weekend! Gina was responsive and understanding and kept me updated to make me feel at ease even though my little guy is 4 years old. I knew he was in the care of someone who is genuine. Her family was super friendly also! Thanks so so much!!”

“Our experience with Makeba was fantastic! This was our first weekend away from our small 2.5 y/o maltipoo and Makeba's home was the perfect place for him to feel safe and social. Makeba's communication and follow-up was top notch. We'll definitely be back!”

About: Hi! I’m Shani, an attentive, responsible and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have a professional background in supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. I bring patience and strong communication skills to each job. I have experience coordinating and managing schedules. I ensure the well-being of those in my care. I am naturally skilled at providing safe, structured, and loving care for dogs, cats and other pets. I’m detail-oriented, and comfortable handling routines, while still being laid-back. I am confident I can handle you and your pet's needs - whether that means consistent walks, feeding schedules, or special instructions. I also work one-on-one with clients, giving me the ability to read behavior, adapt quickly, and personalize the relevant kind of attention—which is just as important for pets as it is for people. I’m calm under pressure, and committed to creating a positive, stress-free environment. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, companionship during the day, or attentive overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own—with kindness, respect, and affection. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet. I mostly work from home and I have a flexible schedule so I enjoy my play time with my furry buddies or walks outside as an enjoyable part of my day. I have room indoors and outdoors for playing, a big fenced grassy backyard and a quiet neighborhood to explore for our walks. I can host pets at my house or come visit them at yours.
“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with Brody! We had a trip planned to Florida and ended up having to extend due to a snow, and she was so accommodating and flexible with the extra time we needed. It gave us such peace of mind during a stressful change of plans. She consistently provided updates and the sweetest photos and videos, which meant so much to us. Being able to see how happy and comfortable Brody was made it so much easier to be away. When we picked him up, he was as happy as if he had just spent the day at the dog park with all his friends, smiling, tail wagging, and clearly so well cared for. That says everything. 🐶 We’re so grateful for how attentive and loving she was with him. I would absolutely trust Stephanie with Brody again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”

“Twizzler had another wonderful stay with Bridget! From all the pictures and updates I received, I could see how happy and content he was throughout his vacation. It truly warms my heart knowing that my boy is so comfortable and well-cared for with Bridget. I am so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely with my boy . Highly recommend!”

“Our two dogs had such a great time that we were worried they were not going to want to come home with us. I also like the realtime Facebook footage and photos that you can view while you are vacation.”

About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).
“It is obvious that Cecily loves what she does. She is very responsive and has a heart of compassion. I highly recommend her. I had a peace of mind knowing Neko was in her care.”

“This was the second time Nicole took care of our pup. She was great with Nuno (especially because he’s a nervous one), and very flexible with us to drop off/pick up.”

About: I truly stand out because caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’ve loved for over 10 years. I’ve been watching and caring for pets on and off for a decade, and I also worked professionally as a dog bather, which gave me hands-on experience with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a tiny pup, a giant breed, a senior pet, or a shy first-timer, I know how to make every animal feel safe and understood. At home, I have two dogs of my own who I love with my whole heart. I’m a stay-at-home dog mom, so I’m with my pets every day, giving them structure, affection, and constant attention — and I bring that same passion and consistency to every pet I watch. Your animals won’t just be looked after; they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. If you want someone experienced, dedicated, and genuinely animal-obsessed, I’d be honored to take care of your pets like family. I’m a stay at home dog & cat mom! So I have all the time to hang out and make you’re fluffy friend happy! I have a fenced-in yard and I have two friendly doggies and one friendly kitty who would love to make friends with you furry family, I can easily create your pup as well if needed or they can have their own room as well with a queen size bed just for the animals to relax and hang out if needed :)
“Katie is a wonderful. I’m a repeat customer with my dog Sparky. Sparky loves staying with Katie and her family! Katie is great about sending pictures showing Sparky is doing well during his visit. I highly recommend her”

“Nicole and Alexis were great with Shaggy Bob! They met in advance and also let Shaggy meet their dog Cinnamon too to make sure they were okay with each other. They sent photos and updates each day!”

“Christina and her family are the best. The communication throughout the whole weekend that they watched our Auggie Was great He had so much fun that when we went to pick him up he didn't want to come home he wanted to stay and keep playing. I would recommend Christina to anyone that wants the best care for their pups.”

Blackwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
KitKat stayed with Nicole and her husband many times over the years, and I always felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. You never have to worry when leaving your fur babies with her. She is passionate, caring, communicative, and treated KitKat like her own. I truly appreciated all of the updates and attention she gave him over the years, especially as he aged and needed extra TLC. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you both for everything you did for him. I am truly grateful for the extra love and care he received.

Jenny and her family took great care of Theo for his few day’s stay with her. Jenny kept us updated with pics and videos throughout Theo’s stay. It gave us complete reassurance that Theo was in very good hands. He was very spoiled with lots of attention, and he enjoyed having a dog friend for companionship. I will definitely book Jenny again for future care.
