“We will be very sad if ever Hunter can't take care of the kiddos. We've told all our friends who need pet sitters to use Rover and to choose Hunter to care for their pets. Thank you so much!!”
“Katie was great! She accommodated our unique needs, and was very responsive, getting back to us right away and sending us pics while we were away. She even got our shy cat to come out and spend some time with her. We would definitely book with Katie again!”
“Jennifer took excellent care of our pup!! She sent plenty of pictures, played with him and treated as her own!!! We felt so comfortable with Jennifer and knew our pup was in very good hands!!! I definitely recommend Jennifer for your pets needs!!!”
“Nataliia was fantastic. She really cares about your pets.She is always on time played with them and took exceptional care of them. It looked like they had a great time with her I would definitely recommend her to everyone. I would definitely rate her a five star sitter.”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! She stepped in last minute when we needed a cat sitter for our 2 week trip- and let me just say she goes above and beyond! She was kind, timely, attentive, and thorough in every way. It's the little things when you leave your cats for that long-I loved that she took the time to cuddle & play, shared daily pictures, kept things tidy, and offered to do some extras while we were gone. She is truly amazing!”
About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.
“Maria was wonderful...took great care of my cat. It was so nice to be away for a week and have the confidence that all was well at my house and with my cat. Signing up with Rover was super easy, the price is fair and I had excellent service. Extremely happy with Maria and my first Rover experience!”
“Jared did an amazing job with our dogs. We got constant updates and knew they were being well cared for. The communication right from the beginning was top notch. We will definitely use Karina and Jared again!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was six years old. I started with a cat named Sherlock and ever since I’ve had pets in my life. I’ve been a humane society foster for the past five years. I’ve cared for playful kittens, crabby cats, puppies with endless energy, senior dogs that slept 23 hours a day, and everything in between. I work part time from home as a photo editor. That leaves me with a lot of free time. I love to go for long walks. Pet sitting combines two of my loves together. Being outside, getting exercise, while caring for people’s pets. I live downtown, so when I care for a pet it’s very easy to go for nice long walks by the beach to get our exercise and do lots of sniffing. My apartment has plenty of room for a crate if your pet prefers to sleep in their little den with all the smells from home. We have a great screened in porch so kitties can safely lay in the sun and watch the world go by.
“Nina is very responsible and took great care of my new puppy, Charlotte. She played with her, took her outside gave her a snack and made sure she is left in her enclosed area. Will definitely re-hire!”
“Jill was super communicative, punctual and sweet with my baby boy! I was able to coordinate dropping off my keys and picking them up no problem. Jill took really cute pictures of Lather and followed all my instructions. No hiccups or last minute change of plans. Would 100% recommend!!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old and got my very first dog. I love all types of dogs, I can even handle aggressive dogs with ease! I always love to spend my free time with animals. Any availability I have is used to to go towards my pets and hopefully yours! I never let animals I don't know very well be off leash outside without my supervision, it is dangerous to me to be careless like that. I never take it too fast and id love to scedule a meet and greet.
“Priscilla was absolutely fantastic with our boys. They're prone to mischief, and not surprisingly Priscilla found some. She handled it by first letting us know immediately, and then even cleaned up the mess the boys made by tipping over one of our plants. Communication was excellent, and the boys were clearly comfortable with her caring for them. I recommend Priscilla unconditionally.”
About: Experienced pet owner who loves to run around with pups in the yard. From cats to horses, I've cared for all sizes of pets since I was little. Fetch and play time are already a big part of my weekly schedule and would love to have another friend join my little one. I love lazy cuddle time while watching TV but also know exercise is critical to a pets wellbeing! I have a huge fenced backyard where my dogs love to hangout and play. They would love company as the dog park and new friends are one of their favorite things and they get along with every other dog and person they have met
“Angela is a friendly and caring dog sitter. She is able to work with our dogs who have lots of energy and who can be nervous around new people. She is a true animal lover. Her willingness to accommodate last minute bookings has been incredibly helpful. We will continue to use her for our pups!”
About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.
“Theresa was great! We felt supported so we could enjoy a huge family event and not worry about our pups. She came on time and took them for a walk and tucked them back in. We highly recommend her.”
About: I've had dogs all my life. I currently have a 6yr old Beagle mix dog Winnie. I have cared for senior dogs with medication needs. I currently work remotely. I can care for your dog early morning, evening and weekends. I can work around my schedule as well as yours. I walk my own dog multiple times a day throughout our neighborhood. Getting her used to neighborhood dogs, integrating socialization skills into her everyday life.
About: I provide loving, attentive pet care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining routines, exercise, feeding schedules, individualized attention, and clear owner communication. (Bilingual) Habló español Pet care fits into my routine part-time and per diem, allowing me to dedicate quality time, flexibility, and focused attention to each pet without feeling rushed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I keep environments clean, safe, calm, and provide regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog, Coco, while we were away on vacation. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind knowing Coco was in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treated Coco like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We would absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Sarah responded to my last minute request for dog walking needs super promptly and she has been so easy to communicate with.. on top of that, she’s easy going and trustworthy. My first week back to work after a recent move went SO smoothly knowing that Junie was in capable and caring hands.
Last minute dog care and she was wonderful! She even helped pick up some items that fell outside the house due to a storm while we were away. Plus she communicated anything that she had concerns about our house we were out of town. Very detailed reports and cute pictures of our doggie :) 100% recommend and definitely use her again!
