“Elizabeth was everything I could ask for and more in a sitter :) This was the first time I left my puppy, and the peace of mind I had knowing he was in great hands was priceless. I would highly recommend Elizabeth’s services, she treats every dog with the best care and makes sure to continue on their routines as best as possible to make them feel at home.”
“We went on an 8 night vacation and left our 2 year old staffie/pit with Jaylese. We received daily updates, pictures, and even went as far to inquire what else she can do to make our girl, Kiwi, feel at home with her. Jaylese prioritized daily walks and playtime for a healthy and happy Kiwi and went as far to buy a stuffed animal pig for her. Jaylese is super kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We will keep Jaylese’s info for the next time we need care for Kiwi and will recommend her to friends and family.”

“I'm so glad I picked Addie for my first time using Rover. I had a mutual friend lines up that feel through last minute so I was nervous to use someone i didn't know but this experience couldn't have gone better. Addie basically walked me through it and once I left she sent pix and updates so I could deal with the business at hand with my quick trip. She said she would welcome my pup back again and I would 100% leave him with her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and am the proud dog mom of Bella, my sweet 5-year-old pup. I have experience supporting dogs of all sizes and temperaments—including administering oral medications and even subcutaneous fluids when needed. What sets me apart is the heart I bring to each pet I care for. I have a strong wellness background and lead with calm, nurturing energy. I’ve taught fitness classes for over 15 years, so your pup will get plenty of movement, playtime, and gentle structure. My fiancé, a former Marine, often stays with me, and together we value safety, consistency, and creating a loving environment. Whether your dog needs extra affection, senior support, or a good long walk, I meet them right where they are—with patience, compassion, and respect. Pet care fits beautifully into my weekly routine. I’m available Tuesday through Saturday for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize giving pets the attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it's a morning walk, midday check-in, or extended daytime care, I’ll work with your pet’s needs to keep them happy and safe. I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and safety top of mind. In my home, pets have access to a clean, cozy, and pet-safe environment with space to relax and play. I never leave pets unsupervised outside and follow each owner’s care instructions carefully, including feeding, medication, and routines. I’m also experienced in administering medications and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. Whether in my home or on a walk, your pet’s well-being is my priority.
“This was my first time using Rover.com (as well as meeting Jill), and I had a great experience. I liked that Jill has her home set-up to accommodate dog-sitting. I also LOVED that she said my pup got to walk around the house with the family (vs. being secluded in a separate room) + that he got to sleep on their bed. Jill has two teenage daughters who seem to love up the pups that come and go as much as Jill does. Plus, they have an adorable little puppy named Tucker that my Gio got to play with which was *wonderful* for his socializing skills and doggy fun. Jill sent me photos via text over the few days he was there which meant a lot to me. I highly recommend Jill and would definitely use her again! :)”
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
“Very attentive and welcoming. Amber and her family provided an excellent, loving stay at their hone for my dog while I was out of the country. Daily updates and photos were very nice. Definitely recommend and will definitely book with her again. 5++ stars!”
About: Hello, I have taken care of dogs in all shapes and sizes. If I can take of my grouchy bulldog then I’m pretty good at any other breed. I have also experience with dogs with anxiety and am very patient. I currently work during the day in the mental health field so I my availability is after work and all weekends. I can also do early on the mornings as well. I have a bulldog that can keep your dog company. My yard isn’t fenced so I can walk with your dog on a leash of if they don’t need it. My dog doesn’t require a leash so it would be fun for them to run around while I’m outside monitoring them with a close watchful eye
“Thank goodness we found Michael! He was fantastic taking care of our big, rambunctious dog Beau while we were out of town. He sent plenty of photos to keep us up to date on how Beau was doing and was great at keeping in contact! Also, we greatly appreciated how flexible Michael was at not only allowing us to book last minute, but being very flexible in drop off and pick up times. Beau enjoyed playing with Carmel, running in the backyard, and lounging in the house. Was very pleased to come home to a happy, tired pup!”
About: I have had pets; mainly dogs my whole life. It’s so important to give them attention, play with them and to walk them on a consistent basis for them to be happy. I have done this for numerous people over the past 5 years I currently am looking to care for dogs and to walk dogs to supplement my income. I am very ambitious and love being outdoors walking my own dogs; it’s vital for them to get that exercise daily! I have two high energy dogs that are very friendly and playful; they would love to share their happiness and walks with other dogs! I have administered medications and often gives bathes after walks- especially after they roll in something on the walk or run thru mud.
“Amanda was great! Never had anny issues getting in contact with her and she sent lots of videos and pictures without even being asked. Definitely a great sitter, Milo will back again soon!”
