“Kseniia took great care of my dog. She sent daily updates and photos and was very responsive when I contacted her. I would absolutely have her care for my dog again.”
About: I take myself out for walks anyway, dogs are just amazing company! I'm excited to get your dogs moving outside in a safe way that burns off some energy and allows exploration! I love being outdoors in any weather condition. Being away from home, I dearly miss my own dog, so spending quality time with some of the best creatures in the world is an amazing added bonus. I’m available weekdays before 11:30, and any time on weekends! I work in the afternoons, so my availability is before 11:30 and after 6 pm on weekdays. I’m happy to be flexible to suit your changing needs, especially if something comes up last minute that you need support with! I know it’s an act of extreme trust to have another person interact with your fur babies and I take that responsibility extremely seriously!! Whether in your home, my home, or just walking around the neighborhood, I promise to pay attention to, care for, and love your pets like they are my own!
“AmyBeth took great care of Clover. They went to the beach, played, and snuggled. All of Clover’s favorite things. I felt comfortable leaving my higher energy pup with someone who truly loves dogs. It was a great fit. We’ll be back.”
“Joshua and his wife were amazing with my puppy! It was so clear they cared for him as he was their own which made a world's difference for a dog being boarded for the first time. They also have a lovely pup called Charles who gave Archie a hell of a good time there. I would not hesitate in asking for their help and would jump at the opportunity quite frankly. Thanks again for everything!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy caring for pets like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins when they’re busy or away. I’m responsible, patient, clean, and very attentive to details, routines, and instructions. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll make sure to provide reliable care, updates, and plenty of love while you’re gone! I am a college grad who loves animals, but I do not have one of my own. Therefore, your dog will get all of my attention! I live alone in my own apartment. My apartment complex is very dog friendly with safe walking trails and lit side walks at night time.
“Jessica is fantastic. She was so good with our two pups for an overnight stay! She sent the best pictures, played with our pups with her children, and gave them a great place to stay for the night. Would highly recommend Jessica; and we will definitely not hesitate to send our dogs to her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m patient, gentle, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m available for pet care Sundays through Tuesdays. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time those days to give your pup the attention they deserve! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or just playtime and walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog that love meeting new friends. Your pup will have a safe, loving space to stay in. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure they’re comfortable and cared for like one of my own.
“My dog, Poe, and I had an excellent experience with Vanessa. I had read her reviews and she sounded like a perfect fit: responsible, professional, caring and a good communicator. And she was! Plus, her dog Pepper was an adorable, easygoing pal for Poe during his week stay at her home. I’m relieved to have found her. It will make trips for us so much easier :)”
“Lauren was amazing with my two pups! They got all of their needs met and were very well taken care of, lots of cuddles and good sniffs. I received lots of updates and tons of pictures which is always appreciated. Will use Lauren for my pups again in the future :)”
“Natalie is fantastic! She kept us well informed on our pups throughout their stay, and they were extremely well cared for. My dogs are older (10 and 12.5), and when my boy became despondent with separation anxiety (during his first 24 hours) she let us know immediately and we formulated a plan to help him cope. Upon pick up, I could tell they felt completely at ease in her home and with her!”
“Rebecca made me feel very comfortable with Tilly's care before and during her boarding. We had a meet and greet where Tilly and Congo seemed to get along, and Rebecca eased my worries as a first time Rover user. Rebecca sent me photos daily and brought her on lots of walks and spent almost all of her time with Tilly. I know Tilly really loved her week with Rebecca by how absolutely beside herself in excitement she was when they were briefly reunited the next day after I returned (forgot her bed & towel there) and I would definitely book Rebecca again and recommend her to a friend.”
“Breanna was fantastic! Our 10 month old puppy had a blast with her! She sent pictures and provided updates throughout his stay! Will definitely keep her in mind next time we are out of town!”
“Lisa was great with our 6 month old ENERGETIC puppy for two nights. She took her on walks, gave her plenty of playtime, and we felt so secure knowing our dog was in good hands. Would definitely book with Lisa again!”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog. Chelsea sent updates and pictures and we always knew that Hazel was in the best care while we were on vacation. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Clayton and James were fantastic! They sent us updates with pictures/videos everyday. They were so great handling our anxious and vocal pup and Vana was very patient with him as well. They had no problem at all administering his medications. We will definitely be contacting them for future needs!”
About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals! I grew up on a farm with lots of animals - dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, chickens, pigs... I've also informally pet sat for friends and neighbors with dogs and/or cats in the past. I've been a cat mom in the past, but I don't have a pet of my own right now. For dog walking, my work from home job allows me some flexibility to stop by and take your pup for a stroll! I can do earlier mornings, a lunch time walk on some days, and evening walks after 5pm. For doggy daycare, I work from home full time at a desk job - if my day is "busy" it just means I had a few more zoom calls than usual. I would absolutely be able to take time to provide potty breaks and maybe a walk around the neighborhood when the weather is good. I live on a main street in town, but there's also a nice quiet neighborhood right behind me with minimal traffic, perfect for a quick walk. I do travel three or four times a year for my job, generally for 3-5 days each time, but I'd be able to give you at least a couple of months advanced notice for those trips - they are never last minute! For doggy daycare, I don't smoke and I have plenty of space for your pup to hang out during the day so they don't feel cooped up - including a wrap around enclosed porch that I can keep secure, and a tall privacy-fenced back yard/garden area. While the yard is fenced, I do get birds and other critters roaming through, and I have a flower garden that could have some toxic plants for over-curious dogs. Because of that, I would not to leave them alone outside, but take those breaks with them. My house does have a fairly steep flight of stairs, so a dog without joint pain or struggles going up and down multiple times a day would be most comfortable. I do have lots of houseplants and some could be toxic - so again, if your dog tends to be curious and take a bite out of plants, I may not be the best fit for you.

Simon is a kind and caring person who understands dogs. My dog Cal is a senior rescue who is a bit wary of new people and spaces. However, Simon made him feel very secure and he adjusted to his new living situation with no issues. In addition to spending time in the backyard, Simon took him for walks in the neighborhood. He got along well with Simon's sweet dog, Clover. I received daily updates and photos and when we got home, Cal was very calm and had clearly been well cared for. I am so pleased with the love and attention provided by Simon. Cal will definitely return to Simon's house in the future!
Andrew is an amazing soul. He took extra time to get to know Dallas before his overnight...above and beyond what is expected. Andrew made Dallas feel right at home. Dallas had such a good time, he was sad to be picked up. I highly recommend Andrew and plan on using him again!
Emily and Kieran took such good care of our Wendy girl and their dog is a total sweetie. We got multiple pupdates of various adventures and nap times multiple times a day. It was clear she was well cared for which was a huge relief as we just moved to the area! Could not recommend them more!
Exceptional care for our Cavachon and CavaTzu! They were very attentive, making sure both dogs were playing, eating, sleeping and resting well. When one of our dogs was sick they communicated with us proactively and continued to update us, and were ready to bring our dog for medical attention. After a vet visit they monitored and made sure vet instructions were followed. We came home to two very happy and healthy dogs! This one week stay was phenomenal from our perspective. They also put us.at ease every day with pictures, schedule and behavior updates. We couldn’t have asked for a better week!
Muriel hosted my cat and was a wonderful watcher. We received regular photos of his antics in her home, and she took his high energy in stride and was very communicative. It made our vacation more relaxing to know he was in good hands and getting attention throughout the day!
Annie was reliable, responsible and very loving with our puppy. He got very excited to see her arrive on the next two days of our weekend. She has a calm and confident way with him. We appreciated that she was flexible about some problems we had with our plans. Recommend!
We had such a great experience with Paul watching Loki and Nimbus, our two cats, for 10 days! He sent us pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so nice to see that they seemed to make themselves right at home with Paul, and they were happy and in a great mood when we picked them up. They settled right back in at home, too. Paul was wonderful about following all of our feeding, litter, medication, and care instructions. We also really appreciated that everything was packed up and ready to go when we picked them up. It made the whole experience incredibly easy. We would absolutely book with Paul again the next time we go out of town. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our kitties, Paul!
Avital was an amazing sitter for our 11yo dog. They checked in with us regularly and sent photos everyday. Our dog required daily medications from a recent surgery and Avital was super comfortable with this. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous going into it, but Avital quickly made us feel comfortable leaving our girl with them. We will definitely be using them again in the future.
We have boarded our dog with James twice this summer and he has been great! He takes his responsibility seriously and loves animals. He is also very responsive and answers promptly. Maya had a great time at his house and enjoyed his back deck and yard. We will book with James again.
