“They were AMAZING. Sent us cute photos and videos throughout. I can tell our dog Lucy had a great time. They were also very polite and kind the entire time. We've booked with them prior as well with the same experience.”
About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals! I grew up on a farm with lots of animals - dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, chickens, pigs... I've also informally pet sat for friends and neighbors with dogs and/or cats in the past. I've been a cat mom in the past, but I don't have a pet of my own right now. For dog walking, my work from home job allows me some flexibility to stop by and take your pup for a stroll! I can do earlier mornings, a lunch time walk on some days, and evening walks after 5pm. For doggy daycare, I work from home full time at a desk job - if my day is "busy" it just means I had a few more zoom calls than usual. I would absolutely be able to take time to provide potty breaks and maybe a walk around the neighborhood when the weather is good. I live on a main street in town, but there's also a nice quiet neighborhood right behind me with minimal traffic, perfect for a quick walk. I do travel three or four times a year for my job, generally for 3-5 days each time, but I'd be able to give you at least a couple of months advanced notice for those trips - they are never last minute! For doggy daycare, I don't smoke and I have plenty of space for your pup to hang out during the day so they don't feel cooped up - including a wrap around enclosed porch that I can keep secure, and a tall privacy-fenced back yard/garden area. While the yard is fenced, I do get birds and other critters roaming through, and I have a flower garden that could have some toxic plants for over-curious dogs. Because of that, I would not to leave them alone outside, but take those breaks with them. My house does have a fairly steep flight of stairs, so a dog without joint pain or struggles going up and down multiple times a day would be most comfortable. I do have lots of houseplants and some could be toxic - so again, if your dog tends to be curious and take a bite out of plants, I may not be the best fit for you.
About: Hello!! I grew up around cats and dogs, starting my first job at 14 as our neighborhood dog walker. I currently have a dog & a cat. I have a lot of experience with dog sitting and spend most of my free time with my pets! I also take care of many family pets when their owners are away. I also have experience caring for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits! Wondering why you should pick me over others? I don’t think I’ve ever been around an animal that isn’t genuinely happy to see me or be around me. Your pet will be treated like the prince/princess it is in my presence. Pets are so special, don’t give them anything less than what they deserve! I’m currently part of a medical assistant program that allows me to create my work schedule and have most of my schooling online! I have plenty of free time right now! I do not currently have a fenced in backyard, but do have 40 acres of free roaming space for dogs to roam or be taken on walks around. Also trails nearby for walks. My home itself is always filled with comfy places, lots of toys, and all of our 5 animals get along very well. I have a toddler which has been a big transition but she loves our animals and absolutely enjoys taking care of them like her mom!! I am very particular about giving your pet exceptional care in your home and in mine! I will always make sure they have what they need and are comfortable.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own. I understand their personalities, routines, and individual needs, and provide patient, attentive, loving care to every dog I look after. I’m self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your dog. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m accustomed to daily walks, feeding routines, companionship, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated while they’re in my care.
“Bri was exactly who we were looking for! Our dog Charlie is somewhat anxious and not very social with other dogs so we really didn’t want to leave him in a traditional boarding facility for a week. Bri was happy to take care of Charlie and showed him so much love and attention! She has a clean home and lots of outdoor space and trails for walks. Couldn’t be happier with our experience!”
“John was great! He communicated well throughout our stay and provided regular updates, which we really appreciated. He has a nice, big fenced-in yard for the pups to run around and play, and Cannoli was such a sweet pup! We would definitely recommend John and would be happy to have him watch our pup again.”
“Krystyna and Sara were AMAZING. They took care of my 2 dogs for a long weekend when I had to go away for a family funeral. I was already anxious about leaving them with someone new and they went above and beyond. They sent pictures and messages throughout the day. One of my dogs was having a paw issue with his nail and they took care of him and all the needs that came along with it. I will be recommending them to everyone I know and will for sure book with them again!!”
“Karen is very sweet and took wonderful care of my dog, Kalei. She has excellent communication and was very responsive coordinating the visit and also gave me photos and updates. Her home is clean and welcoming and she already even had stairs for little dogs. Kalei was happy and relaxed when I picked her up, and she slept a lot which is a good sign that she was cozy. She is a senior dog, and Karen has experience administering pills and being mindful of medical conditions. Overall, I am very pleased with Kaleis visit and will definitely bring her back!”
“Caitlyn exceeded my expectations and took good care of my two feench bulldogs. She groomed them, played with them and loved them like they were her own! I think my dogs liked her more than me and already misses her. Haha 😄 I didnt worry about them at all knowing they were with her. I will never leave them at a boarding facility again and they will go to Caitlins from now on! Thank you for your love and care of my beloved dogs!”
“Josh was great! Very accommodating with setting up a meet and greet beforehand and modifying booking time for an overnight stay for our dog Ozzy, who had a blast making new doggie friends and has been tuckered out from all the fun since we picked him up.”
“Katie was great with drop off and pickup. She administered Clover’s meds and was quick to get back to me when I communicated with her. She was also very flexible with my late pickup when plans changed, and I really appreciate that.”
“Beatriz took great care of my dog. She has a huge shared backyard for the dog to explore. My dog can't be around other dogs, and Beatriz was great about coordinating with neighbors to keep my dog safe and away from other dogs. She was very responsive and sent lots of feedback. I would definitely have my dog stay with Beatriz again.”
“Sylwia is the nicest, so responsive, and caring. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and caring for them. So lucky to have her take care of our pup when we are out town!”
“Argos had a great time with Heather and her family. He is high energy and enjoyed the company of other dogs and playing lots of ball in the large fenced yard. He had a great time, and Heather kept me updated through my travels!”
“Lauren sat for my pup Ellie. She's great! She made sure to ask about feedings, quirks, special needs, and sent a bunch of pictures so that I felt comfortable. Ellie was super happy and enjoyed her sleepover. I'd highly recommend Lauren!”
“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Leaving Josie with Wendy and her family takes away any guilt I might have about leaving Josie behind when I travel, because it’s just as much a vacation for her as me! They are absolutely wonderful with her and I trust their care. I feel so fortunate to have found Wendy on Rover!
Evan is my go-to doggy daycare / overnight sitter in town! He and his girlfriend are so good with my house hippo. She mostly just snoozes while he works from home, which is her absolute ideal scenario. They also keep me posted with great photo updates and check in if there's an incoming storm or any other concerns. Highly recommend!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Veronica and Nathan. This was the first time I had ever left Phoebe for an extended period, and I was understandably a bit apprehensive. From the very beginning, Veronica and Nathan put me completely at ease. Phoebe took to them immediately, which speaks volumes, and she was also wonderfully comfortable with their sweet dog, Ruby. It was clear that she felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Veronica sent frequent updates, photos, and messages, and I never once had to worry about how Phoebe was doing. Their warmth, attentiveness, and obvious love for dogs made this such a positive experience — for both Phoebe and me. I would trust them again in a heartbeat and feel incredibly grateful to have found such thoughtful, caring sitters. Highly, highly recommend.
