About: I'm a dog lover and protector. I have 12 years of experience dog sitting my aunt's pug. She is part of our family, and I am committed to showing that same care and love to the dogs I care for through this app. I follow instructions to a T to ensure your pet receives the food and care it needs to be happy and comfortable. I will ensure your pup has a super fun time, depending on his or her personality and what he or she likes to do (whether he or she prefers to relax or play). I also have experience helping elderly dogs during walks and protecting dogs of all ages from others who aren't as friendly and might bite them. I'm available Monday to Friday anytime between 6 am and 8 pm.
About: I spend most of my time around dogs as my job is a canine caretaker at a dog training facility where I assist in dog handling, dog grooming, dog enrichments, leash handling, & most importantly keeping the dogs & there space clean! I don’t discriminate against any breed I actually have tons of experience with breeds of all sizes & temperaments from small reactive dogs to large reactive dogs, from your cuddliest to your zoomie filled pups. I’ve had tons of dogs my entire life so I can love and care for yours as if they were my own! I have experience in dog handling, leash handling, administering medication, grooming (bath ears teeth nails brush out/ blow out) separating dog scuffles, walking dogs of all sizes, & I’m even a professional belly rubber! I’ll be working with dogs the rest of my life as I pursue my career in dog training and eventually service dog training. Hope I get the pleasure of meeting you & your fur baby! (: I’m currently off from work from December 24th- January 5th and have plenty of time & flexibility as needed. I know lots of pet owners & parents go away during the holidays. Feel free to reach out for a free “meet & greet” Currently, I do not take pets inside my home as my apartment is a 1 pet household per landlord request. Thanks for your understanding. (:
“Kathy kindly accomodated my last minute request. She took lovely pictures of the dogs, and left me a very detailed description of what she did for them. The dogs obviously liked her too. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: I have been around animals since I was born. I have had several dogs as pets. They were/are all very well loved and taken care of. I trained our Zoe since she was a puppy. She knows all her basic commands and even a few tricks. I am comfortable with dogs or all sizes and age! I am a stay at home mom so I am always home! My priority will be your pet so that their needs are always met and satisfied. I have a big fenced in backyard. Your dog(s) are welcome on my furniture as well considering they will be part of my family while they will be with me.
“Erica is amazing! She really does treat your pet as if it were her own. She follows instructions and is always attention to every little detail. I would definitely recommend her. If I could give her 100 out of 100 stars I would!”

We’re a loving, pet-friendly home where your furry family member will be treated like our own. I work as a part-time behavioral therapist, and my husband works from home two days a week, so there’s always someone around to give your pup plenty of attention, care, and affection. Caring for dogs truly comes naturally to us. Our new home offers a spacious fenced backyard for playtime, along with nearby dog parks and a beautiful nature walking path—perfect for fresh air, exercise, and fun. Your dog will enjoy a safe, happy environment and feel like a part of our family during their stay. Note: Daycare hours are typically between 7 AM and 7 PM (or less). If you need care beyond these hours, please book a boarding request instead. Thank you! Your fur baby will be treated like family in our home! From cozy naps and meals to fun walks and playtime with our sweet pup Archie, I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved, and as close to home as possible while you’re away. My goal is to make their stay comforting, fun, and full of care until their favorite humans return!
About: I feel comfortable attending dog of all ages and sizes. My experience in at vet clinic, provides me with confidence and knowledge in vet care allow me to respond in emergency responses with attention to detail. I work part time at a vet clinic, so I have freedom on Sunday-Wednesday. if true weekends are needed then I can request that time. I create boundaries with Owner and clients. Allow time to build trust rather than jumping into it with uncertainty. consistency shows respect on both sides.
“Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -”
About: I had a cat for 6 years and plenty of experience handling and taking care of dogs - I volunteered in an animal shelter with dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens for 4 years. I am 5’7” and relatively strong so I am also able to handle larger dogs (no pulling that leash away on my watch!). I have 3 years of experience as an EMT, so in case of an unexpected accident I am able to provide emergency first aid if necessary (helping a pet often involves the same basics as helping a person!) I have a lot of availability at the moment. Weekdays and weekends are nearly always free, especially for walking and check-ins. I love to be outside and walk/run, especially with dogs. I don't have any pets living with me right now, so I will be free to focus on yours. I am active and love taking dogs for a walk or run anywhere and for however long they need.

“She watched Daisy and did a fantastic job. Daisy was a little nervous at first but she worked with her and by the end of my vacation they were sitting on the backyard stairs cuddling!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !”
About: My heart goes out to every pet owner, as I have recently lost my childhood companion in June 2025. I am looking forward to taking care of your pets. I am taking a semester off this spring so I will be fully available besides sundays starting January 23rd 2026. I will have this availability as of now until September 2026 Based on the pet I am taking care of, I can best accommodate with the pet if I know their behaviors, triggers, their favorite things to do, etc. I’d treat every pet as my own, making sure they get their daily walks in, set a time for when to eat, make sure they do eat, set some time aside to possibly play depending on the dog, cleanliness is also key.
About: Hi! I’m currently in my second semester of vet tech school and work part-time at a dog daycare/boarding facility. I also have a 3 y/o cat of my own, so I am experienced with both cats and dogs. I’ve learned lots about animal behavior and pet safety and love spending time with any animals! Additionally, I have my Cat and Dog First Aid certification from the American Red Cross. I currently work 4-5 six hour shifts at a dog daycare are, so I have lots of time to drop in before/after work. My current classes are online, so my schedule is very flexible! I have experience pet sitting and walking dogs of various temperaments. My experience with working large groups of dogs and 1-on-1 makes me confident in my ability to keep all animals safe!
“Diana and Andrew are absolutely wonderful! We have used them twice so far and they are very responsive and send pictures during their deop in. We reached out to them very early in the morning requesting a drop in visit for the evening and they accommodated us with no problem! Thank you both for treating lala so well. We will definitely use them when needed!”
Garfield dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with the pet care service for our dog, Cola! Jinghong was very patient and caring with her, especially since Cola is an older dog and needs extra attention. We really appreciated the regular visits, feeding support, walks, and overall communication. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of Cola — we truly appreciate it!
I cannot recommend Maxibel enough! She has been absolutely amazing with my dog!! She is so kind, caring, and attentive. My dog genuinely gets excited to see her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She is always punctual, responsible, and incredibly reliable. One thing I especially appreciate is how consistent she is with updates and photos, which always reassures me that my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats every pet like her own. I’m so grateful we found her!

Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!
Truly professional! Anastasiia and Ivan are absolutely amazing at what they do. This was my first time leaving Bella for longer than usual, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about having her stay at home with people she didn’t know. But after seeing their incredible reviews, I decided to trust them — and I’m so glad I did. They exceeded every expectation. They were detailed, followed all instructions perfectly, and most importantly, their communication was outstanding. They kept me updated on everything and always asked questions before making any decisions. They made me feel completely comfortable, and Bella was genuinely happy with them. One moment that really stood out: on their first day, after we had already left, Bella was feeling uneasy when they walked in. Ivan sat on the floor near her and patiently waited for her to approach him, creating a calm and safe environment for her. That level of care and understanding meant so much. They showed real affection and truly cared about Bella’s wellbeing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional sitters for their furry family members.
While I was away, Tania took amazing care of my Doberman and Chihuahua. She was incredibly informative, kept me in the loop the entire time, and made being away from my dogs so much easier. She sent updates with pictures and videos, which was not only helpful but also super cute and reassuring.Both of my dogs were comfortable and clearly well cared for I could tell they were happy and relaxed with her. Tania treated them like her own and handled them with so much patience and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again!
