“Whitney did a very nice job with Bella. When I arrived to pick up Bella, I could see that she was very content and happy at Whitney‘s home. I really appreciate having a place where I feel safe leaving my little fur baby.”

“This has to be the best place to send your dog!! My Bear is so excited to go see them!! He's so happy and well taken care of!! The pictures I received during his stays assured me that he was doing well. When I pick my little guy up he's so joyful and just prancing around like he has the best time ever. I highly recommend this couple!! Very nice”

“My Skylar had the best time ever with Sanja! She had so much fun, I don't think she wanted to leave! I was the nervous one and Sanja immediately put me at ease with her obvious love of animals and her years of experience and knowledge. The pictures and videos she sent were amazing and put me at ease. I already have a 4 day stay scheduled and plan on many more day boarding trips. It is like a fun vacation for Skylar and puts my mind and heart at peace knowing my Skylar is in Sanja's loving care. Thank you Sanja!”

About: Dogs have always been a central part of my life. As a longtime dog owner, foster volunteer, and animal rescue advocate, I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. As the proud dog mom of Scotty and Pancake, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, and pets requiring extra patience and attention. Through fostering and volunteering with rescue organizations, I've helped care for dogs during transitions, administered basic medications, managed feeding schedules, and provided plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I currently share my home with two small dogs and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your dog needs a comfortable place to stay, regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra cuddles while you're away, I'll treat them like part of the family and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2:00 PM, with availability for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. Dogs in my care are treated like family and are rarely left alone for extended periods. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and having fun. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own dogs, foster dogs, rescue dogs, senior pets, and dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every dog is unique and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. As a longtime rescue volunteer and foster, I have experience helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments and working with pets who may need a little extra patience and reassurance. In my home, dogs enjoy a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, supervision, and opportunities for play and exercise. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly small dogs who are accustomed to being around other pets. Introductions are always done carefully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect your routines and home as if it were my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and any household guidelines you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel secure, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you're away.

About: Hi, I’m Haylie! Caring for pets has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just giving extra cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my routine, and I’m always close by to make sure they feel safe and cared for. Working from home allows me to provide reliable, consistent care and keep your pet’s day as happy and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets get the same love and care as if they were my own. I create a safe, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I always keep a close eye on them and give them lots of love, care, and companionship.

“Thank you for caring for Koffee. Only after a few visits, I can tell she is fond of you and vice verse. We look forward to another doggy day care visit !”

Karen B.

“Our dog Maxine has been crazy insecure since we moved here. We couldn't leave her alone at all! I found Melissa on Rover and saw the great reviews. We did a meet and greet and Max stayed with her all day yesterday. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and information. She put up with Maxine's initial whining and kept her so happy. We were thrilled to get out of the house! and to have Max so well taken care of. Thanks so much Melissa!”

Karen B.

“She really helped us out in a pinch with last minute booking for an out of the city day care, we really appreciated it. Our puppy did great and had no issues. We appreciated that she had a fenced in back yard too that allowed our dog to run around. It wad a good experience.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire adult life, my house is not a home without my fur babies. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. All of my pets have been life long family members from babies through senior age. I’ve potty trained, crate trained, cared for my babies from skin allergies to arthritis and surgeries. Some of my pets have been perfect angels and some have had past trauma that created behavioral issues that we had to work with and do special training. My fiancé and I would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies as if they are our own. I’m the primary pet sitter and organize but he is my partner and back up. I know how pets stress when with new people and a new environment and I strive to make your pet’s stay as easy for your pet as possible. Please let me know their routine and any special care needed and I will do my best to make your pet comfortable. We have recently adopted our 2 foster dogs, they are sweet with kids and other dogs. However, we do have the ability and will keep separated from Rover dogs when needed if requested. My main concern is that your pets as well as mine are kept safe and happy. We both work full time but we have time in the evenings and weekends to care for and love your babies when you can’t. We would love the opportunity to care for your babies. We would love for your pets to enjoy our large fenced in backyard with a cool, clear pool to cool off in the summer. We love to play with your pups in our yard throwing balls or frisbees to burn off some of that pent up energy. If you don’t have a yard we would be happy to take them on a leashed walk. We know being away from home and their families can be stressful not only for your pet but also you. Bring all their favorites and feel at ease knowing they are being cared for just like part of the family.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for years now and have a dog who is a huge dog person herself. Your dog will be having some fun time while you are away. I am working from home and can take your dog to potty breaks as much as needed. They can play freely in the backyard. Also, we have a mid size lab mix that loves to play so she can keep them a company. I have a fenced yard with pool and crate if your dog needs it. We don’t allow pets on the furniture but have plenty space that they can hang out.

“She took great care of Okoye.”

Sarah D.

“This is Louie’s second visit with Sarah. He was SO excited when we pulled up, his entire tail and lower half of his body was wagging and he was incredibly eager to go inside and play with the other dogs. And that is Louie’s review, which I believe would go something like this: “Mom, when can I go back and play?? Please??””

Sally L.

“She was very loving and caring with Blue. She took him on walks and kept me updated on his progress . I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet caregiver.”

Alejandro M.

“This was a last minute booking & Stacey came through for me. The communication was great & Stacey took very good care of our baby Chloee. I like that she sent me photos & it looked Chloee was well taken care of & having fun. I will definitely use Stacey again. Thank you Stacey & family”

Jean J.

“Lauren and her husband were absolutely amazing. They sent many pictures, updates, and made my dog Gunner feel like part of the family. From the beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable and I knew that Gunner was in the best hands! Gunner can’t wait to go back and play again soon!!”

About: Hi there, my name is Hannah! I love animals and helping others so it only made sense to join Rover as a sitter. I work fully remote which is the ideal scenario because I get to stay home with my 2 dogs and senior cat. I found my cat, JD, as a stray kitten on a golf course back in October of 2010. At the time, I was volunteering at the local animal shelter to get my fix of animals before the cat distribution gods picked me. I got Packer, my 3 year old female designer mutt (sheepadoodle) as a puppy while living in Denver, CO. My boyfriend has a 6 year old male lab mix, named Maverick that he rescued as a puppy. We have a house with a beautiful fenced in backyard for the pups. Our dogs love people and other dogs. They love to play, cuddle and sleep My cat is a grumpy old man. He is used to dogs but doesn’t care for them and keeps his distance. I’m an anxious pet mom and my animals are my children. My goal is to make every fur parent feel content while their dogs are in my care because I know what it’s like when roles are reversed. I work remotely and my schedule is flexible when planned in advance. I have plenty of time to fit pet care needs into my routine. I have a very sturdy fenced in backyard that is well maintained for all the pups to frolic safely while scrolling Twitter aka sniffing around.

About: My name is Courtney, I love dogs. I am a wife and mother of two children. I have been around dogs my entire life and we have had our miniature schnauzer since May 2022. I can’t wait to help take care of your furbaby in any way you need. I work full time from home with a big fenced in yard. This allows me time to go on daily walks as well as play in the backyard or give your pet some free roaming time outside in the fenced yard. I have a miniature schnauzer that loves friends and 2 pre-teens that are homeschooled and love to cuddle with animals all day. I have a big fenced yard and I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks. We do daily walks and lots of free time out in the backyard playing fetch or just relaxing. Pets are allowed on the furniture so they can snuggle with us when we’re on the couch and sleep with us at night. We have a miniature schnauzer dog that loves playing with new friends.

About: Animals have always been one of my greatest passions, and I have dedicated much of my life to their care and well-being. Throughout college, I worked at an animal hospital, where I gained hands-on experience assisting with the care of animals of all ages, breeds, and medical needs. That experience strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, and compassionate care while reinforcing my commitment to advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves. Beyond my professional experience, I have owned and fostered multiple dogs at one time, providing safe, loving homes while helping prepare them for permanent families. I have also volunteered extensively with the nonprofit F.U.R., where I transported rescue animals across the state, fostered litters of puppies, and supported countless rescue efforts. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and teamwork in animal welfare. I believe every animal deserves compassion and respect, regardless of breed, age, size, or background. I approach each animal without bias, focusing instead on understanding their individual needs and providing the care, advocacy, and second chances they deserve. My lifelong dedication to animal welfare continues to drive my passion for making a positive impact in the lives of animals and the people who care for them. As an elementary school teacher, I have a schedule that allows me to provide consistent care and attention to animals. My workday ends in the afternoon, giving me plenty of time each evening for exercise, training, and companionship. I also have weekends, holidays, and school breaks free, and I am home full-time during the summer. This flexibility makes it possible for me to meet the physical and emotional needs of the animals in my care while providing them with a stable, loving environment. I have a large fenced-in backyard that provides a safe, secure space for pets to play and relax. My home is near the water in a large neighborhood with sidewalks and friendly neighbors who also have pets, creating a welcoming and trustworthy environment for walks and outdoor time.
