2. Lisa E.
About: I have taken care of senior dogs my whole life. My beloved dogs lived to the ages of 19 and 17 years. I have a special place in my heart for seniors. I am a retired teacher and my hours are very flexible. The first walk of the day for my own dog is usually 8am and her final walk is between 9 and 10 pm. I have a fenced yard but I give my dog three walks a day. My dog is a an eight year old , fourteen pound doxie mix who would welcome the company of another dog since we recently lost her beloved companion.

5. Madison D.

“Madison was beyond phenomenal!!! She made me feel at ease every step of the way. Her communication with me was exactly what I needed to make me feel at ease leaving my new rescue kitty in her care. I can not recommend her enough! Will definitely be using her for every trip I have. My cat loved her as well!! She is so kind and caring and took care of my baby like he was her own. If I could give her a million stars I would!!”


6. Dawn S.

“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier with Dawn’s services. She took great care of our dog while we were away. She sent photos and updates with each drop-in visit that made us feel confident our pup was being well cared for. We look forward to using Dawn again in the future.”


7. Stacy H.
About: In addition to having three rescue dogs, I've volunteered at animal shelters/rescues for the past several years and have worked as an animal caretaker at a vet hospital. Experienced in walking and handling dogs of all sizes and ages, reactive and anxious dogs. Last year I quit my corporate job to start a pet sitting business, so I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to take care of your pets! Although I have three pups ranging in age from 5 to 11, I work hard to maintain a calm (but fun!) environment. I offer lots of love, enrichment activities and positive reinforcement.


8. Louise C.
“Louise is a hard worker. She loves animals and will definitely take care of them as if they were her own. I believe she would be a great fit for rover.”


9. Stacey G.

“Stacey was fantastic. We were nervous about leaving because one of my cats is in an end of life period. Stacey was incredibly communicative and flexible which made it so much easier to be away. She send video and pictures so we could see how both cats were doing and was flexible in terms of providing care based on how they were doing. Highly recommend and would book again.”


10. Mary G.

“Ginny and Mary did a wonderful job, stopping by to feed my indoor and outdoor cats. Always on time and always provided a detailed report on how the cats were doing with some pics. My indoor cat took to them very quickly Definitely will use them again!!”


11. Mary R.

“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”


12. Rebecca K.
“In the 20+ years that I have known Rebecca, I have always seen her demonstrate so much love and caring for all animals including her personal family pets. Her special gift to intuitively understand what each pet needs plus her experience with a variety of pets is a winning combination for "excellence in pet care".”


13. Emilee S.

“I think this is a great position for Emilee. I have an XL Bully that Emilee takes care of when needed (and he absolutely loves her). If I go away I know I never have to worry about my Diesel because I know that he is in great hands. I believe Emilee will be a great asset on Rover.com.”


14. Rosalyn D.

“Rosalyn was excellent with Cha Cha without ever meeting her! She took plenty of photos, was prompt and is very courteous and responsive to any last minute details or changes. I have already booked her for another week before this week’s drop-in visits are complete! Highly recommend!”


15. Carolina S.
About: Hi there! My name is Carolina, and I’m passionate about providing loving, attentive care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, and every pup I meet holds a special place in my heart. I currently do dog walking and sitting as a side business while I attend college, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all energy levels and personalities, including anxious pups who may need a little extra TLC. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some cuddle time on the couch, I’m here to ensure your furry friend feels at home. I’d love to meet you and your pup—let’s set up a meet-and-greet today! As a college student, I’ve designed my schedule to make time for my dog-walking and pet-sitting side business. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I prioritize each pup’s needs around my classes and studies. Caring for dogs is not just a job—it’s a highlight of my day! I also make sure to dedicate weekends to longer walks, park visits, or house-sitting to give your furry friend all the attention they deserve. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family! I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and play. Dogs are free to roam, nap, or cuddle on the couch. I follow any special feeding, medication, or exercise routines you provide and make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and playtime. In Your Home: When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to respect your space while giving your pet personalized care. I stick closely to their routine, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll provide regular updates with photos and details about how they’re doing, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.


16. Lisa A.
“Lisa is a kind and passionate person! She has been walking my dog for a few months now and we love her. My dog Benji is very shy typically but warmed up to Lisa during their first walk. So grateful to have found her for my puppy.”


17. Courtney D.
About: With years of vet tech experience combined with a life filled with the love and care for all animals, I’d love to help care for your fur babes! I am available to come to your home for daily walks or playtime. I also offer boarding directly from my own home for dogs of all sizes. Within my own home I not only have plenty of yard space for play time but also love to go for walks with 4 legged friends. Given my experience in vet medicine, I am able to administer medications if need be, even with the friskiest of friends. Being a stay at home mom, I’m mostly home with my kids so I have an open schedule. This gives me plenty of daily room to tend to the needs of your pets! With my fairly large fenced in yard, it gives plenty of space for free roaming time if boarding is the what you chose. Also, walks are always in the schedule along with lots of pets and cuddle whether it’s at my home or visits at yours.


18. Lina C.

“Lina took amazing care of our two cats. She is responsive and reliable! I highly recommend her! She is fantastic! She went above and beyond to ensure the care and safety of our loving pets.”

About: Hi, I'm Nia, an experienced dog sitter with a lifelong love for pups. As a proud owner of two Pomeranians, I understand the importance of routine, attention, and lots of love. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just cuddling, your dog will feel at home in my care! As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer pet sitting during breaks, weekends, and evenings. I prioritize your pets' care, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you're away. Balancing my studies and pet sitting works perfectly, so you can trust that your pets will be in good hands. While caring for pets in a client’s home, I ensure their routine is followed, provide regular feeding, playtime, and daily walks, and offer lots of companionship. I’ll also keep the home tidy, providing updates and photos to keep you reassured while you’re away. Your pets will feel comfortable and loved, just like at home.


20. Catherine S.

“Catherine is great! I knew from our meet and greet that she is a genuine animal lover! She immediately got down onto the floor to calmly and gently introduce herself to my cat. Dani went right up to her with confidence. Catherine took such good care of my Dani while I was on vacation. She made sure that she had plenty of food and water each day and tended to the litter box. Catherine took time to pet, brush, and play with Dani too. She also took a lot of great photos. I could see from the photos that Dani was thoroughly enjoying Catherine’s company and attention. I will definitely use Catherine in the future and confidently recommend her pet sitting services to others.”
