“Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.”

“We were really pleased with Jayne's responsiveness, friendliness, and the love she gave our dogs, Loki and Ivar! We'd never had a dog sitter or a house sitter, and working with Jayne was smooth! We look forward to more family adventures where we know Jayne will love up the dogs. To be honest, I think they miss her!”

“Tiffany was the absolute best!!!!! She loved on and cared for our dog just like she was her own dog! She sent us multiple updates and pictures everyday too! Even when our flight home got cancelled, she didn’t hesitate to go back and help us out extra time! 10/10 would recommend and book her again!!”

“Kim did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. She took the time to come out and meet them beforehand and get the dogs at ease with her. She stayed in our house with the dogs as they are very spoiled and love to have a sleeping buddy. She is very accommodating to individual schedules and will work with the client to give them what they need for their animals. All of the special requests we needed for our dogs she fulfilled with a cheerful disposable. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again..”

About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.
About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
About: Lifelong pet owner trusted by coworkers, neighbors, and family for pet sitting. I treat every pet like family and am glad to send regular updates and photos . I work full-time but am completely available to pet sit Monday thru Friday after 4 pm. I am also available weekends for the full day and overnight. I want you and your pet to be at ease , so I am willing to care for them in their own home surrounded by their own things.
About: I’ve taken care of my fiancés parents dogs for 5 years! I love them to death! They have nine dogs that range in ages from puppy to senior. I have done everything from administering medication to the basics. When they go on vacation I am who they trust to watch their animals. I can care for all animals even farm animals and I would love to care for yours!! I do currently work a full time job and my schedule is very scattered. However I work early hours and am usually off by 1:30pm. But I would love to watch them after work/ on my days off. I do not mind fitting your animals into my schedule. I love animals and do not care to take time out of my day to care for your fur babies!! I currently cannot care for animals in my own home, I am very sorry. However I do not mind caring for them in yours as I will treat your home just like mine, if not better!
About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant but I currently work at a boarding and daycare facility. I have open availability. My current job is extremely flexible. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other pets with my current role at the boarding and daycare facility. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for many years. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and give lots of love and attention to their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s energetic puppies or calm senior dogs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be home most of the day and give your pet plenty of attention and supervision. I’m flexible with scheduling and available most weekdays and weekends. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of care. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment complex with safe walking areas and green spaces nearby for regular walks and exercise. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize leash safety and supervised outdoor time. My home is calm and structured, and I follow each pet’s routine closely. I can crate if needed and will always treat your pet with love, patience, and responsibility
“Jayaelynn was wonderful again. She had to deal with a dog fight over food and she handled it and the aftermath very well. The fur babies were all fine because she acted quickly and called me right away. She is really just a sweet girl and she takes wonderful care of our babies and our house. I can't say enough about this young lady.”

“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a kid. I've pet-sat for a few years outside of Rover, in addition to having a dog of my own and one frog. I also volunteered at an equestrian therapy center for a few years, where I took care of the horses and the barn cat. I work part-time at my other job 4-5 days a week. I am most available in the afternoon and evening. However, my work schedule is flexible with advance notice! I mostly do overnight pet sitting with clients outside of Rover, but I also offer drop-in visits and walks. I can fit in at least 2 drop-in visits or walks into my daily schedule. I want to make your pets feel safe with me! My goal is to temporarily blend in with your home and not disrupt your pet’s usual routine.
“Five stars isn't enough. Angela was simply amazing. She is patient, gentle, and loving with our big pup who just adored her. Angela is an awesome communicator, sending pictures and texts to keep us up to date every day. She was a lovely guest in our home and went above and beyond with her care. I can't say enough wonderful things about her, and she absolutely will be asked to stay here again!”

“She stayed at our house while we were away. She was at house with the dogs when she was scheduled to be there. She sent a picture and left our house in order. Seemed to genuinely care for our dogs”

“Hayley was so amazing! Fantastic communication, very responsible and respectful, and so great with my fur kid! I truly did not worry at all about how things were going while I was away. Hayley is so thoughtful and caring. Love love love Hayley!!!!”


About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference. I will make sure to enforce any train/rules you want me to follow. I’m a part time teacher so the longest I am gone most days is 4 hour increments. I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.
