“I immediately knew when I visited Trey that her home and family wereperfect for my dog King. She sent photos during his stay and was very responsive to texts. Will book with her in the future!”
“Mandy took amazing care of my dog Ophelia. I didn't even have to worry. At the end of the day, Ophi was happy and sleepy. Mandy was very responsive and sent awesome photos of Ophi. I WILL be rebooking with her, and I'm so grateful to have found her!”
“We absolutely LOVE Ashley!!! This is our first time leaving Milo with anyone, and we couldn’t ask for better. She sent us photos every day and took him outside. If you’re scared to let your fur baby go for the first time do NOT worry about leaving them with her, she’s perfect! We are grateful you could fit us in during our PCS, thank you Ashley! ??”
“Very happy with Crystal! My dogs were well taken care of & I had piece of mind knowing they were in good hands. Very kind & patient helping me navigate your Rover app too! 😊👍”
About: i had 3 dogs in my life. 2 of the dogs i had. i had since i was born. then i adopted another dog in 2014. wanting to adopted more dogs in the future. i have dogsit before in the past 3 years before i knew about rover. i love and adore dogs. i cant imagine life without one. Dogs are everything to me. Having dogs around get me outside more and walking more. i have trained my 3 dogs. so i know a tiny bit about trainging them. I do live in an apartment in the 3rd floor on the top. If the dog needs it I can carry him/her up and down the stairs no issue at all i currently dont have a job. i would make dog sitting a part time job for right now. i have alot of time to care for a dog. i give the pet alot of play time. i give the pet bathroom breaks as much as needed. i walk the pet like an hour or 2. ill feed the pet when he or she needes it. of course ill him or her water. ill give the pet as much exercise as he or she needs. i would have the pet come over to my apartment. im around a place where i can take the dog on a long or short walk. the apartment im at is very pet friendly. I say you would have to bring your pet to me at my apartment.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have 3 pups of my own and a variety of exotic animals. I have worked as a dog trainer and volunteer at the vet and rescues. I am very active so long walks are my favorite and I have a soft spot for old animals. I communicate very well. The standards I have for the care of my pets is exceptionally high and I provide that same experience for every pet I take care. I currently work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available to do check ins or walks multiple times a day, if needed, and also have weekend availability. I am a big fan of communication(and photos!) but am trustworthy and reliable enough that you can also be out of service and rely on me to take care of things.
“Wright has provided daycare for my dog, Joey, and is fantastic with him! He is calm, caring and positive - and it’s obvious that Joey loves being with him. I love getting updates and photos during the day and know that Joey is safe and happy with Wright!”
“Miss Caroline is so sweet and kind, the amount of care she took in getting to know my Zelda so that I would feel comfortable with sending Zelda with her was so nice and comforting. My girl adores her, and even after a few days now gets excited when she hears her name or sees that we are approaching her car for drop off.”
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, birds, and other exotics. I'm comfortable with all types of personalities from velcro to aggressive behaviors. I'm compassionate about their well-being as well as having a positive experience. I am currently open for daytime care I have a flexible schedule and can offer eveing care or dropins if needed. I am limited to my overnight availability. I prefer to care for pets in their homes for services such as walks, dropins, indoor play and overnights. I do not offer boarding at this time.
About: I have taken care of dogs for about 10 years, in most recent years two of my own:) My dogs need more canine friends and I think are a little sick of just playing with each other! I work 3 days a week as a RN. My partner, Tyler, works from home, so someone will always be available to spend time with your pup. I have a big fenced yard and two wonderfully playful and active dogs who can’t wait to have new friends. We have a doggie door so even if someone steps out of the house for a period of time the dogs will always have access to outside. We usually go on a walk/hike/ski everyday either early morning or evening or both!
About: Big house and a soft spot for small dogs! Happy to host little ones while you’re in town. We have a quiet path in the woods for dogs who may be overwhelmed by the bike path, or for those who are excited to get out and about we can walk or run miles of the bike path. I work from home full time with a generously flexible schedule, so lots of walks, playtime, and couch hangs are at the ready. We wake up fairly early and go to sleep early as well. We have a large private yard and back woods that are quiet and set away from the road, traffic, or other neighbors. I always keep animals leashed. We seal off the garage and gear room so little ones don’t get into anything they shouldn’t! We have property cameras and are just a generally safe and quiet home.
About: I grew up in a zoo of a home with a mom that made our pets her top priority. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and know the ins and outs of how to keep an animal happy and healthy/safe. I own a small business in town and work around my pups schedule. We go on morning walks, lunch time hikes and even post work walks if needed. I am also capable to giving medication. I own a small business and make my own hours. I typically work Monday-Thursday and my dogs are only left for 3-4 hours at a time. Pets are always welcome to sleep in the bed with me or kenneled depending on what you prefer. I live walking distance from the Klatt dog park if you’re comfortable with me taking your pup there or we can do one on one walks around the neighborhood. Hikes are also offered in the summer time! Dogs are my life and always have been. Their well being, happiness and safety is my top priority! My back yard is fully secure, I drive a 2019 4 runner for safe transport and my home is always free of rope/unsafe toys, poisons, etc. I have personally trained my dogs for duck hunting and obedience and can offer Training assistance if needed(: Dogs are always safely exercised and I believe in positive reinforcement.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all of my life but specifically dogs. I feel they are true angels and as much as I’d love to own 10 of them, I can’t so this is the next best thing! I’m currently a stay-at-home mother of two children and we have our puppy, Nala. I have all the free time to take care of pets and make sure they’re constantly comfortable, loved, and checked on. I do have one extra large dog kennel. If you want to bring your own kennel, that is also totally fine! I have extra dog bowls as well, but again if you want to bring your own, totally fine! I have a safe, fenced in yard. I like to do outside time as much as possible so the dogs can get their energy out and if you have a food schedule, I can follow it!
About: I've been taking care of the pets, including cats/dogs, for my friends and family. My experience as a pet sitter includes feeding, walking, and playing with pets daily. I've always ensured the pets feel comfortable with their familiar surrounding and follow their routine. Also, provide bathing, grooming, or training for pets when necessary. The care of your pet will be worked into my daily routine. I work for the school district and would be able to check in before and after work, with my weekends free to spend plenty of time with your pet! I have a fenced yard and a dog door, which allows my two friendly dogs to keep your pets busy outside. I can easily crate your dogs if needed.
“I have a intact wolfhound puppy. With all the trouble that entails, Becky handled it beautifully. The request was at the last minute with early I. The morning drop offs on a weekend, she gave him walks, sent me pictures, and he always came home happy and worn out. I would highly recommend Becky to my friends and family”
“Jessica has a secure fully fenced yard and will treat your dog like it is her own. My dog Fannie only had a short visit, but I felt confident leaving her with Jessica.”

Jayde M.
“Jayde has been a truly exceptional caregiver for my two pets Lily, my blind and timid dog, and Toulouse, my very independent and antisocial cat. Jayde’s natural ability with animals, combined with her patience, kindness, and reliability, has made her an irreplaceable part of our lives. Lily is often slow to trust and can be easily overwhelmed, but Jayde has always approached her with gentle understanding and consistency. She has earned Lily’s trust in a way few people ever have, and it’s clear that Lily feels safe and cared for in her presence. Jayde is attentive to her needs, adapts to her comfort level, and provides her with not only basic care but also genuine companionship. Toulouse, who tends to keep to himself, also responds to Jayde’s calm and respectful demeanor. She never forces interactions but somehow manages to get Toulouse to show affection on his terms, of course. It’s clear she respects animals for who they are and meets them exactly where they’re at. Jayde is dependable, communicative, and always goes above and beyond. Whether it’s ensuring medications are given correctly or providing updates, treat or toys while I’m away, I know my pets are in the most capable and loving hands.”
Emma & Tyler C.
“I have known Emma through our dogs for 4 years. She is a loving and responsible dog owner and ensures that all of her own dog needs are met and they are showered with love. On top of that, she is an excellent pet sitter. She works well with any size dog. In the many times I have needed help watching my dogs for work and travel, she has been so attentive and communicative. Whether she has my pups sleep over at her house or stops in a couple times a day for walks while I'm at work, she loves to send pictures of them, which always makes me feel better! I have never had a problem and my dogs were always so excited to see her. I have nothing but good things to say, I only wish we still lived near each other!”

Haley P.
“Haley is very good with animals. She used to watch/take care of my Boston terrier and elderly cat while I was at work and/or on vacation. She was very loving and kind with my pets. If she hadn’t had to move away, I would still be asking her to care for my fur babies. She is very trustworthy and honest. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She will treat your animals like her own.”
Kyle C.
“Kyle is someone who works hard to learn all the unique personality traits of the animals in his care to best provide the support they needed. He is dependable and is someone who can be counted on, not just to take care of my animals when I am away but to treat them as if they are his own and give them the proper care, pampering, and spoiling, they need.”
