“Joann did great with a new client. My pups had a blast with her dropping in and she followed all instructions to the letter. Felt very secure having her coming to check on my goldens”


“Alexander was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous at first. I have a Great Dane and she is my animal child so, like any pet parent, you want the best for them. My dog was very hesitant at first because she was on guard and protecting her home. I left treats at the door just in case. Alexander was so patient with her and feed her treats to gain her trust. As the days went on, the "check-in" photos made my heart smile. I could see London letting her guard down her guard and that was all because of how sweet he was. I will certaintly use him again!”


“I procrastinated and needed a last minute a pet sitter for my cat during the holidays. Annemarie was really accommodating to my needs on such a short notice, willing to even do a meet and greet on the day of booking since I had to leave the next day. Overall, Annemarie is a wonderful and trustworthy person who will send update pictures and videos of your four-legged best friend while following the notes you left to a T. Definitely recommend.”


“Kristin was wonderful she took care of the babies perfectly. She even brought them some toys to play with.She sent me plenty of pictures of them. I had total peace of mind, knowing she was caring for the babies. I appreciate her services greatly!”


“Chandler is a wonderful sitter for our pet, who is a nervous cat and needs extra attention with her diabetes! Grateful to have her willingness to take extra care of our fur baby!”


“I can’t recommend Natalie enough! She was absolutely excellent—reliable, caring, and truly went above and beyond. She looked in on my pup and treated her as if she were her own, giving her all the love and attention I could hope for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in such kind and capable hands. Thank you so much!”


“Riley is great! She's very knowledgeable and experienced with all types of dogs. My Murphy can be a bit anxious but Riley's calm demeanor eased him right away.”


“Mary took great care of our fur babies and gave them all the love and attention they needed while we were away. She sent us regular updates on how her visit went and even cleaned up some mess our babies left for her! We will certainly be using her again in the future!”

“Minh is incredible and goes above and beyond every time! Thank you so much for the wonderful care you provide both my cats and for being so kind and conscientious with them and my home!”


“Nataly kept us updated every time she checked in with photos. Our pups were happy when we got home. This is the 2nd time Nataly has taken care of them and we will be repeat customers.”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog, Valen, while we were away! Judd went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and understands animals. Valen took to him instantly, which gave us so much peace of mind. Judd kept us updated daily with photos, videos, and little notes about their adventures together, so we always felt connected. It was heartwarming to see Valen so happy and well cared for, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. He even gave her a bath!! Judd was not only incredibly responsible and attentive to Valen’s needs, but he also left the most thoughtful gifts for our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came back to a relaxed and joyful pup, and we’re so grateful for the love and care Judd provided. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further than Judd. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”


“Daizsha took great care of our cats while we were gone over the holidays. Clearly a very kind and thoughtful person, I would recommend her! She stayed in touch and communicated well, and interacted with the girls a lot. We really appreciate her.”


About: I grew up around animals all my life. My mother was a talented vet tech and with her I helped take care of many different breeds of dogs, cats and more! I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings to care for your pets well being. I work through the week so weekends are a great option too! I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood with other pet owners. My backyard has a secure fence so your dog can enjoy an outside play area. I also have a greenway close by that is great for walks!

“Ana was great with my pups. She asked questions that told me she is a professional and loves what she does. She was punctual and sent lots of pix of her four visits and walks. 🙂”


About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. I currently work Monday - Friday with an unpredictable schedule. Saturdays & Sundays are best for me at this time. Some holidays will be an option as well. Example, Martin Luther King, Presidents Day Before I lost my dog to kidney disease, he was potty trained and free to roam the house. I walked him when I got home and he was my cuddle buddy when it was time to go to bed.

About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I took care dogs of family and friends, I love spend time with them, my mom in Colombia has a Pet shop and I have the experience in grooming with her. I’m part time job, my schedule is weekends and weekdays in the afternoon, on weekends I am available all weekend any time will be possible I don’t have a fenced yard but I love walk and I could walk with your dog and spend time with them, playing. I have a cat and dog Teddy and Chessy they are friendly with all animals

Phillip H.
“I've known Matt for 25 years, and if there's one thing I can say with certainty, it's that he has an incredible love for animals. He’s always had pets of his own and treats them like family, giving them the best care and unconditional love. My wife and I have two dogs, and every time they see Matt, they light up with excitement—it’s like they know they’re in for some extra affection and attention. He’s a responsible, kind, and trustworthy person, and I have no doubt he’d be an amazing pet sitter or dog walker. Any pet parent would be lucky to have him looking after their furry friend!”

Stephanie M.
“I have been friends with Stephanie for 26 plus years, I attended her wedding when she got married and I think Stephanie is one of the most responsible people that I know. She has cared for her own pets through the years I have known her and she love anyone pets she come in contact with. I think since her dog has passed away due to natural causes this would give her an opportunity to show her love to others pets. I could not think of another person who would do a better job.”


Gabriella K.
“Gabby has been an incredible pet sitter for me multiple times. She has experience with both cats and dogs and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well cared for. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. I always feel confident leaving my pets in her hand, she treats them like her own!”

Jane was such a kind and calming presence for our pups. She was punctual, patient, and communicated with such thoughtfulness throughout, giving us a deep sense of comfort and trust. Her warm energy and gentle care came through clearly, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’re truly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! 🐾💛

Latoya did a great job taking care of our pup when we were gone. She loves animals and treated our dog like her own! She took lots of pics and was very communicative with us. She gave our Bodie lots of lovin and made sure he was happy and comfortable. We will absolutely use Latoya’s services again!

100 out of 5 stars! Tanja watched our cats while we were out of town for a week, and she was absolutely amazing. Leaving our pets and home in the care of a complete stranger was nerve-wracking at first, but when Tanja came to meet our cats, she immediately put us at ease. She took notes, asked thoughtful questions, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. We could tell right away that they’d be in great hands while we were away. Even our shy cat loved her by the middle of the week! She went above and beyond by watering our garden, bringing in mail and packages, and handling the trash (even after a raccoon got into the trash!). Her daily photos and notes were so reassuring, especially since this was the longest we’ve ever been away from our cats. We came home to a spotless house and very happy cats. We’ll definitely be using her again anytime we go out of town and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Olivia is extremely friendly and a great overall sitter! I felt very comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my pup. She provides updates quickly and takes a bunch of pictures so you know your pup is okay! She also went above and beyond to ensure my dog was comfortable during my vacation. I would highly recommend her services!

Absolutely thrilled with Sophia as our dog sitter for Maggie Mae! She was incredibly diligent, consistently arriving on time for every visit, and went above and beyond to make sure Maggie Mae felt loved and cared for. Sophia has such a sweet and gentle way with dogs—Maggie Mae took to her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy dog sitter.

My job required a few days with fairly long hours away from my home on very short notice. In turn, I had to find someone to let my pups out with very short notice to the Sitter. I'm usually not comfortable with strangers, workers, cleaning professionals etc... in my home when I am not here. My dogs are both fairly large, excitable and can be a lot to handle. I found Isabel on Rover and let her know my dilemma as well as the size / temperament of my puppies and she agreed with no hesitation to schedule a few drops-ins to let them out back, have a little play time and make sure their water bowl was full before leaving. Isabel is very professional, excellent with communication, punctual and must have the patience of a Saint as she has agreed to help me out in the future. I highly recommend Isabel.
