“David is awesome! He took such great care of Piper! She had a great time, I don’t think she wanted to come home. He sent lots of pictures, which was so nice because I always miss her when I leave. Very grateful for David:)”
“Angela was great! She made Dobby feel comfortable, and kept me in the loop about how he was doing while I was away. Now he's home and crashed out from all the fun.”
“Robert was great! He was so easy to work with, Violet loved him and came home exhausted, and I knew Violet was safe. I will definitely be using him again and have already recommended him to others.”
“Anthony was so sweet with my anxious baby girl! I got lots of pics and videos while she was with him which was very appreciated. Would definitely love to use him again!”
“Whitley was amazing!! Otis is an active guy and there were no shortage of action packed adventures. Otis and Whitley's dog Ollie had a fun and became best buddies. Whitely shared updates 2 times daily and I had complete peace of mind! I highly recommend her! We will be back for sure!!”
“Steven took care of our dog Rocky this past weekend and he really did a great job! He is easy to communicate and knows his ways around dogs! Highly recomended!”
“Pattie was amazing and truly heaven sent. She was wonderful with my pup and treated her like her own. Pattie also sent us updates frequently and just made it very comfortable for us. I suffer from somewhat separation anxiety when we leave town for vacations and leave my pup. Pups are like your children and Pattie treated her as such! Pattie made this experience very pleasant and my pup loved her. I will be booking with Pattie again!”
About: 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages have taught me that every dog really is one-of-a-kind, and I honor all of their unique personalities and needs. I do sincerely respect dogs, but I always have so much fun spending time with them! I’m a student, and I’m busy with class from 12:30-4 M-TH, so I have the most free time during mornings and evenings. I live in an apartment with my very gentle 8 year old poodle, who I’ve noticed is a comforting presence to nervous dogs. I live a very short walk away from a great dog park.
About: Hi! I’m Nicole. I’m a retired professional petsitter/dog walker and have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I’m experienced with giving oral medications, injections, and catering to special dietary needs. I’ve been working from home recently and would love to have some dog friends to keep me company. I’m able to let them out to go potty do some zoomies frequently throughout the day. I have three cats that are used to having new dog visitors regularly. They are ok with dogs that are a little more curious and playful with them. During the day your dog would have the run of the house and at night I keep them with me so the cats can have their time. If I have to go out I keep everyone separated. If your dog has never been around cats before, that’s ok, but scheduling a meet and greet is an absolute must!
About: There’s nothing more stressful than finding someone to take care of your pets while your away. As a member of your family, you want to know that they will be well taken care of while you’re away. Let me give you peace of mind knowing that your animals are being taken care of, the way you would. As a owner of two dogs, I know how to properly care for animals. I love all animals, and there’s nothing I like more, than knowing that your pets are safe and being taken care of while you’re away. I would give your pets the same care, love and affection that I would give my own. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets. I currently work part time. So I have a very flexible schedule. Lots of time for checkins and walks. Does your pet like looks of potty breaks. No problem. I’m happy to let them out as much as needed. My home has a 6ft privacy fence. My yard is completely enclosed. I always monitor the dogs from the window or go out with them. I also have two very friendly pups.
“I immediately felt at ease when I took my fur baby to Ms Kerri. Solomon is sometimes a little apprehensive, but he immediately made himself at home. I had no worries or concerns when I left him. When I picked him up, normally he runs to me when picking him up. I had to go GET him. He made new friends and found a second home. I will be using Ms Kerri EVERY TIME I go out of town. Highly recommend.”
“Dawn was/is great!! I’m just moving to Michigan and she was able to take Spinks short notice. I really appreciate her. Spinks had the time of his life and enjoyed playing with her dog Callie. She is very responsive and will send pics and videos of your pet.”
“Jess is wonderful. I have engaged her twice to board my American Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Both times issues arose, one was a health issue and another where my flight was cancelled and I needed extra days of care. She cheerfully accommodated the situation and put my mind at ease during a stressful time. She takes great care of Halle, who is a rescue and can be reactive towards other dogs. I usually have to give a lot of instructions for sitters, but not so much with Jess, she just knows what to do. I especially noticed that Halle was more relaxed after staying with Jess. Now that she is used to her, I feel really comfortable leaving Halle with Jess.”
“Tiffany and family took great care of Diesel. They have become our go-to family for pet care this year. Diesel loves it there and we have peace of mind knowing he is in great hands”
“Allesha is great with our dog Zoey! She’s super accommodating to our schedule and takes wonderful care of Zoey. Zoey gets treated like one of Allesha’s pack and comes home tired and happy ☺️”
“Kadi was very responsive and professional!! She made the whole process easy and made me feel way less nervous about leaving my baby! We definitely will be having our dog at her place again 😊”

- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
