“If you’re seeking someone you can trust to take excellent care of your pet, I’d highly recommend Lori. I’ve thus far only used her a few times, but she has been wonderful! Even when I’ve had to ask to schedule for less-than-ideal times, she has come through, and did so with a very positive attitude. I met her in advance of scheduling our first doggy day care visit and her very well-behaved puppy quickly bonded with mine, which was an added plus. I haven’t had to wonder if everything was okay because I received updates with messages and pictures throughout the day, and it’s been easy to see that my puppy has been thoroughly enjoying her stay. When she comes home from a stay with Lori, it’s apparent that she has had plenty of exercise too. Despite almost always falling asleep right at 9:00p.m., after her first visit with Lori she was asleep by no later than 7:00p.m. Although my puppy is quite spoiled at home, she didn’t even look like she was ready to go home after the 2nd visit. I'm quite confident that you'll be happy about choosing Lori as your dog sitter.”

About: After growing up in a animal loving home I have decided to make it a part-time hobby. Being a pet owner I understand being locked up in the house can be a bit stuffy at times. We can go anywhere from eating out at pet friendly restaurants, shopping, or laying around the house watching movies. When visiting with me your pet is apart of the family, I have lots of love to share with your fur baby. I have a very flexible work schedule and work from home full time. Our schedule will be based on what your pet is used to at home. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!!! I work from home full time so I’m open to whatever your family needs. Just let me know and i can adjust my calendar to fit your requests. I have a fenced yard and a friendly chow named 🐻 to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if requested.

11. Lindsey S.

12. Macy S.
About: Hello there! I would love the opportunity to care for your pets! Here's a bit about me: I've been passionately caring for pets for over 7 years, starting during my college days. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs, so I've always been surrounded by furry friends. Currently, I have 3 cherished fur babies who I adore—they're like my own children! I have experience with elderly dogs, newborn puppies, and I'm comfortable administering medication and ensuring they have proper meals and potty breaks. My fiancé and I both work from home, and we recently started using Rover to help fund our upcoming December wedding. Our home includes a spacious yard and a guest room available for your pup if needed. We're all about family here, so our dogs are welcome on couches and beds, just like yours would be. :) I'm excited about the opportunity to care for your furry friends. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions—I'm here to help! My fiancé and I both work from home and can be avaliable as needed! We are able to let them out to potty as often as needed and can go on walks in the neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard and 3 of my own fur babies who can either keep your dog company or be separated if needed. We have an extra room in the house for your dog or for our dogs to be depending on the pups needs.

“Christopher has been taking care of my dogs when I go out of town for the past 5 years. He is very reliable and always comes on time. He even has the front door code to our house, and has done both drop-ins and overnight stays. Highly recommend!!”
14. Nallely T.
About: I grew up with pets and they’ve always been part of my life. I’ve had hamsters, mice, chickens, bunnies, ducks, birds, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and of course dogs and cats. I’m definitely a dog lover, and as an adult I have gained plenty of experience pet sitting and caring for dogs, specially small breeds. I cared for my older baby (Shih-Tzu) with medical needs for many years, and in the process learned a lot about dog care and how to tell when they aren’t feeling well or something is going on. I’ve cared for dogs of friends and family who have full confidence and trust that their babies will be loved, taken care of and even spoiled when they’re under my watch. I’m currently in the process of changing career paths, and have flexibility to do boarding, drop-in visits and house sitting on most weekends and potentially some week days. The house will be dog proofed. I’m aware of things dogs can eat that will make them sick or could be damaging for their health, so those foods/items will be unreachable for dogs. They will have a good sized backyard to go out for potty breaks and play. My community has very nice and safe walking trails for dogs that need walks. If/as requested dogs can be crated but they won’t be crated otherwise. I love cuddling with my dogs so I allow them on the bed and occasionally on living room furniture. They sleep on my bed unless requested to sleep in their own bed.

16. Alexia G.

17. Amy W.
“Amy was so sweet and took great care of my baby Bessie! I was so nervous to leave her with a sitter because she goes to work with me every single day. Thank you, Amy!”
18. Kiara T.
“Kiara took care of my two pups, cat, and hamsters while I was gone on vacation for 5 days. She was very sweet and kept to the schedule perfectly. When I came home everything was organized and they were all happy!”
19. Reilly H.
About: I have owned/worked with dogs for the past ten years. I volunteered at the humane society for two years, worked at a doggy daycare, trained all my pups myself, and worked in animal control. I own six big pups and one small, one of which is a nervous nelly and another one is male dog aggressive/reactive (who is separated from new pups). I have tons of experience with dogs of all sorts of personalities and needs. I can either watch your pup at their home or bring them to my pack (as long as they are female and get along with other pups). I love to do whatever your pup loves (tug, run, walk, cuddle, etc). Whatever makes your pup happy is what we will be doing majority of the time they stay with me. I usually do pet sitting where people find me on nextdoor or Facebook, or just friends pups. Just starting out here on rover but am very excited to meet some new pups and clients. Currently work full time Monday through Friday but I am home for an hour on lunch breaks. I am home all weekends and holidays as well. I will care for your pets however you see fit. If boarded with me I have a fenced in yard as well as dogs for your pup(s) to play with.
20. Zuheilys A.
About: I am an animal lover (including animals that are not well liked in society). Since I was a child in my home we have always had pets, especially dogs. Over the years I have gained the experience to understand and handle dogs in the best way. I currently have a Siberian Husky and I take care of my family's dogs, which are two Australian shepherd mix. In my spare time I take my dog on hiking adventures in different parks. I also work daily with obedience training to manage the energetic behavior of a husky. I am currently work 12 hours shift for three days and the rest of the days I am free having adventures with my dog (Khaleesi). I live in a house that has a fenced yard and to reduce the energy and stress of the dogs I usually walk them every two hours. I also have activities and toys for dogs of all kinds of sizes and materials with which dogs stay active.
