“Rachel did a great job of taking care of our dogs over a long weekend! Very reliable and communicative – highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“Chad was amazing! Booked with him last second after our original sitter canceled. Never used Rover so I was definitely hesitant, but couldn’t have lucked out with anyone better than Chad. He was early for every appointment and gave both our dogs nothing but TLC the entire visit. My wife would look on the cameras and our female loved Chad, they just played constantly. Our grumpy, old male seemed to enjoy his visits, which was a huge relief. I couldn’t recommend Chad enough, he’s extremely professional, diligent, and made us feel at ease during a stressful time.”
“Deanna took great care of my two cats - feeding, scooping, and playing. She kept me well informed and snapped pictures. She showed up every day. Highly recommend!”
“Jenna is so reliable and takes good care of our cats! She takes great photos and gives them lots of attention! I would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Khalia was great! She was very kind to our cat and did everything we requested on each visit.”
“This was our 2nd year having Kelly stop in to check on our 3 cats. She communicated well. Sent pictures. And I was confident and comfortable with her coming into the house and laying eyes on my Furbabies. 10:10 would recommend.”
“Rachel did great with our cats and was able to pill one of them with no problems. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I've had side jobs walking pets and pet sitting since I was 12. I LOVE animals and have two dogs of my own, Beau and Oliver. Both are high- energy large breeds that keep me busy and entertained on a daily basis. I would love to help you manage your busy schedule by dropping in and playing with, or walking your fur babies! I work full-time in Marketing but have a very flexible schedule mornings before 8am and in the evenings after 3pm. I love the outdoors so spending my free time outdoors with dogs has been a dream part time job. Right now I am just doing drop in visits/feedings and dog walks. My care for pets varies, because every dog is different. Whether you need your dog taken on an extensive walk, or just someone to drop in and play/pet your dog for 15-20 minutes, I've got you covered!
About: Come hang out with My Pack. Whether your pup is spending the day, sleeping over, or coming to stay while your family is away; our home is their home away from home. We are a five small dog, one human home with no children. We will provide a loving environment and treat you like one of our pack. We will spoil you with lots of kisses and cuddling. Our home is fully fenced and dog friendly. I am an animal lover and have had dogs in my life consistently for the last 30 years. About this sitter: Hi, I am Hillary. I have been an animal lover all of my life. I will provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home for your pup's stay. I provide a New Client Packet at the Meet & Greet or via email prior to your stay. The packet includes an information form to fill out so I get to know your dog better so I can provide a comfortable stay. It also includes veterinarian, medication, and liability release forms as well as an information sheet on the Rover.com free insurance. I keep a file on each dog I care for which includes these filled our forms, vaccination copies, and important information. Why I love dog sitting While raised with cats, I have been a dog lover ever since I was a little girl. I have had dogs consistently for the last 37 years and have raised all from puppies. My dogs are my children. About my yard I have a large back yard that is fully fenced, secure, and pet friendly. My experience administering medication Yes, I have administered pills, eye drops, and shots to dogs and cats in the past as well as general first aid. I have taken pet CPR. I work from home most of the time but do have events here and there. If I ever have to leave house for more than a couple hours, I have a friend or family member who checks on pups and will let them out to potty and play. My home has a large yard and is fully fenced and pet friendly. I have five small dogs to keep your pup company. Outdoor time is always supervised.
About: You can call me Abby :) I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life, at all stages of their life. I’m well versed in providing medications, custom diets, supplemental care, and of course a ton of love! I work full time but have flexibility to work from home to provide care on Monday’s and Friday’s. The weekends are also wide open :) My husband and I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a five year old golden retriever that loves meeting new friends. We have multiple rooms if your pup needs separated or crated but also have space in the living room and bedroom to stay with us if that’s more comfortable. Our dog is allowed on furniture and in bed with us so, happy to welcome yours too!
“Jennifer was wonderful with CeCe and Bosco! She sent updates and pictures every time she visited. The dogs looked so happy. We will definitely use Jennifer again!”
“Mirelsa has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to navigating work travel as a single dog mom to a 14 week old puppy. She’s cares a lot, is very thorough and provides great feedback on him during the visits, and takes great care of my chunky little guy! I would definitely recommend her and will for sure continue using her when I have to travel for work!”
About: We’re lifelong pet lovers with experience caring for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. We're home all day, so your pet will have constant companionship and supervision. Our backyard is fully fenced — perfect for safe play — and we’re right next to a nature trail, so daily walks are easy and enjoyable. We’ve handled puppy training basics, administered medications, and adapted to all kinds of routines. With us, pets get a secure home environment and the kind of active, attentive care that many sitters simply can’t offer. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. We are home most of the day, so I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime. We have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and I live next to a nature trail, so walks are easy and part of our daily rhythm. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, or just companionship, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable and cared for like they’re part of the family. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure water bowls are always full, routines are followed closely, and pets get plenty of play, rest, and attention. I also live next to a nature trail, which is great for walks if the owner is comfortable with that. Safety and comfort come first, so I always keep a close eye on pets and adjust to their needs.
“Justin was a great dog sitter. And excellent communicator. My dog Tucker is very old and takes lots of Pills and Justin took excellent care of him!!!!”
“Maddie was great for our first experience using Rover. We have a 10 month old pup that we weren't comfortable boarding while on vacation. We utilized Maddie for deop in services to feed, walk and spend some time with our guy. She was very responsive from my initial message. We did a meet and greet several days before. She followed up with notes she had taken during that meeting to ensure she understood expectations and that we were on the same page. During her times with Joey she provided several pictures and a detailed summary of their time together for each visit. Maddie will.be the first person I reach out to should we need further services in the future. I highly recommend her to assist with anything you may need for your own pet.”

About: I have a background in caring for dogs and other animals from abuse and neglect situations, as well as helping rehabilitate ex-racing and fighting dogs. I am especially strong at caring for fearful and anxious dogs and putting them at ease. I have also cared for and helped house and crate train puppies of several breeds and mixes. I work flexibly and remotely so I can care for pets on more or less any schedule necessary! I am also able to stay overnight with pets if needed, and can supply my own air mattress and bedding. I carefully note any instructions you give me regarding access and any given pet’s individual triggers and fears. In cases where I am working with nervous and/or traumatised pets I am careful to stay close to their height, maintain non-threatening body language, read their responses, and let the interaction proceed at the rate the pet is comfortable with.
“Gina was great! She was prompt and communicative. I super appreciated all she did for my pups while she was there, including cleaning up after my spiteful cat 🤦🏼♀️ I would absolutely use her again and recommend her!”
About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“We’ve had Enzo stay with them several times, including an overnight and a full week. He’s a bit of a unique dog with some behavioral challenges, but they handled him with patience, care, and understanding. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, and Enzo came home relaxed and well looked after each time. We really appreciated the updates and would absolutely trust them with him again.”

Donald S.
“Don has been sitting with my girls for a couple of years now. They are cats so once a day was all I had asked of him. He didn’t think that was enough and checks on them twice a day which they absolutely love. He has been accepted by them unconditionally and sometimes I think they like him better than me. Finding someone you can trust with your family is hard. I never have to worry about that with Don and know he is taking care of my girls they way I do.”
Caitlin E.
“Caitlin has an excellent understanding of nonverbal communication with pets and every pet I’ve seen introduced to her has loved her almost immediately. She is just as good with outgoing pets as she is with shy or anxious pets. She will take extra time out of her day to spend with a pet she is petsitting for to make sure all of the pet’s needs are being met.”

Shannan went above and beyond for my babies while I was away! An incredible sitter. Gave me so much peace of mind!
We have now used Andrea a few times for our two large dogs and she is always amazing with them. It makes me feel so better when we are out of town knowing that we have someone like her to take such good care of them. Shes’s the best!
Lauren provided loving care to our two dogs. She treated them with affection - as if they were her own. Lauren provided detailed information and the photos/videos were appreciated. She was reliable and we plan on having her dog sit again.
Corrinn was amazing with our babies! She made sure to send lots of pictures of our two cats everyday along with a message of how their day went! She brought toys for them and even went as far as to make sure their litter box was clean and the trash was taken out! It was a huge relief having her there when we were away on vacation and we will definitely be using her again!
Dana was simply amazing. She went out of her way to take pictures and show our dog extra love. She even visited him when she had an emergency come up! I will 100% be booking with her again!!!!😊
This was our 2nd year having Kelly stop in to check on our 3 cats. She communicated well. Sent pictures. And I was confident and comfortable with her coming into the house and laying eyes on my Furbabies. 10:10 would recommend.
Lauren is amazing to work with. I have used her services for my cat 3 times and have always felt confident she has been well loved. Thank you!
Matthew M is doing a great job taking care of our new dog. He’s reliable, communicative and our dog loves him!
Andrea never disappoints, she is always the best with handling my dog. She knows exactly what to do and is so communicative. I don’t know what we would do without her. If you’re looking for a dog sitter 100% hit her up!!!! I returned a little early from my trip and we had the pleasure of having Andrea stop over while I was home, I swear, I think my dog likes her better than me. When he saw her, he ran to her!!! Thanks Andrea for everything!
Gina is the best, she is a great communicator about your pet and has been able to handle difficult situations with our dog where there was soiling in the crate. She definitely deserves 5 stars.
Jennifer has done drop in visits for us several times, she is highly reliable and thorough. I know that our pets and our house are well taken care of while we are away. She sends us pictures and recaps of each visit and has strong communication with us so that we have peace of mind. I recommend Jennifer for drop in visits or housesitting stays.
Once again, Jamie made it possible for us to take a day trip without any worries about our dog, Pepper. I’m keeping this short and sweet, as I have posted many other reviews of the excellent care that Jamie always brings! So, whether we are away from Pep for one day or ten, we always know that Jamie brings her “A game” to playing, snuggling, and everything else when she’s with Pep!
