“Colette was very sweet with my Nala. She was very nice and sent pictures and status of Nala during the day. Nala was very happy with Colette and had a great time staying with her. We loved the experience and we will book her again.”

“My dog loved it with them. With a new puppy I felt comfortable leaving her with them, and the did a great job with her. Loved the updates throughout the day. Will use them again as I feel safe leaving my puppy with them”

“I left my dog Pretzel with Sabrina overnight, and she was absolutely wonderful with her. My puppy, Hunter, also joined for doggy daycare and had a great time. He absolutely loves her, and she even shared some really helpful training advice for him. I definitely recommend Sabrina—she’s knowledgeable, caring, and truly great with dogs. I’ll absolutely be using her services again in the future!”

“Zulma was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to allow Russell to get acquainted with his surroundings and safely meet her dog, Luna, who was a great teacher and playmate for him. We were so impressed by her understanding of dog behavior and especially her insight into Russell’s behavior and skin condition. We feel very comfortable and confident leaving Russell in her care, and we would highly recommend her!”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We are SO GRATEFUL to have found Meg!! She's truly amazing!!! We just adopted our Aria a week ago (we weren't expecting it - she just came into our lives 🐶💕) so we found ourselves in a situation where we had an out of town family event and a new 2-yr old goldendoodle so we were desperately trying to find care for her with someone we could trust with our new girl. We found Meg on Rover and even though it was super short notice she found time for a meet and greet and then we brought Aria into her spotless home just a few days later. Meg connected immediately with our Aria (and us 🥰) and she sent us lots of pics and video of Aria playing in the snow in her fenced-in yard and also at dinner time. We could see how happy and relaxed Aria was in her care. Meg had even told us if the weather was bad or we were delayed in some way not to worry - that Aria could stay the night if need be. We will DEFINITELY be using Meg again!! (She's now "Auntie Meg" 💕)”

About: Hello! I’ve been professionally caring for animals since I was 12 years old and got my first dog sitting gig. Over the years, my family has had every kind of pet: horses, sheep, dogs, cats, birds, iguanas even! I find great joy in showing the animals I work with lots of love and guidance. I’ve trained my own and others' horses, dogs and cats over the years and it’s just the most rewarding experience. I work part time and mostly from home which allows me to be available all day to care for pets. I’m a big fan of a consistent routine with animals rotating stimulation (exercise, play, training or enrichment) meals, rest and balancing the three. I care for pets on my property which is almost entirely fenced in. I have professional kennels in a mixed use building with a residential portion attached. So I have the luxury of providing secure and roomy kennels with the addition of our cozy home area. I can take most types of pets and I’m especially suited to care for animals that do not do well in large boarding facilities, don’t do well with other pets or just want a more personalized, quiet boarding experience. I don’t believe it is always necessary to socialize dogs with dogs and right now that’s not something I do (unless they are boarding from the same owners). I focus on routine, a bit of training and connection with humans! I have a fenced in run where dogs can be off leash for playing, enrichment etc. I designed our kennels myself and had them custom build. Each stall is separated by concrete walls to provide a private and safe space. I chose mental fencing for the top of the partition and the door. I chose this instead of the plastic, glass or solid door options because it provides optimal airflow and allows them to see out. We currently do not have a stall suited for a climber! But accommodations can be made.

“Paola is an excellent sitter. She has a very calm way with dogs and it’s clear how much she loves taking care of them. My Haggis had a great day.”

“Melissa was amazing! She had our Sadie for three days of day care so we could go off and enjoy day trips with our visiting granddaughters and d.i.l. Sadie loved her and her girls, never looking back at us after that first day of drop off! Melissa sent periodic pics and updates of how our girl was doing, and was very accommodating as to drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her for your fur babies.”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals —I focus on making them feel secure, understood, and cared for just like they’re my own. I'm new to Rover as I'm sure my profile shows lol However, Im able to show reviews & plenty of pet love I've given thus far 🥰 This job is equally as enjoyable for mee as the beautiful fur babies ❤️ (maybe more) Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my bookings to make sure each pet gets consistent attention, care, and reliability. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I build my day with their needs in mind so I can provide dependable, stress-free care I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent as possible, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable by following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions, while also giving them plenty of attention and affection.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life—my own dog James came into my life when I was just 11 years old, and from then on, caring for animals became second nature. I bring a patient, gentle, and intuitive approach to each pet I care for. I’m especially great with shy or nervous dogs and have experience with both playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra TLC. What really sets me apart is how I treat every pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that means sticking to a strict medication schedule, going for long walks, or just providing a calm and loving environment. I’m also detail-oriented, reliable, and great at communicating with pet parents—so you’ll always know your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved. As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I’m able to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I often structure my day around my responsibilities, which makes it easy for me to prioritize walks, feedings, playtime, and cuddle sessions. Whether it's early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I always find time to give pets the love and attention they need. Caring for animals is something that brings me joy and balance in the middle of a busy academic life—it never feels like a chore. It’s actually one of the most relaxing and rewarding parts of my routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect their space and follow the routine they’ve set for their furry friend. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I work hard to maintain their usual schedule—whether that means feeding at specific times, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or administering medications.

About: I have taken care of animals for over 20 years, they bring me so much joy, I truly enjoy each and every one of them. I am currently working part time and I am looking to fill in my time with something I really enjoy, taking care of pets! 😊 I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take the dogs out leashed and also for walks in my neighborhood or yours.😊I am very trustworthy, I can provide references if needed.

“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience in dog obedience and show training. As a lifelong owner of both small and big dogs, I’m committed to providing personalized, safe care! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I already care for my own dogs. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Now that I'm home from college for the summer, I have ample free time to dedicate to your dog's well-being. Making sure they get all the love, attention, and care that every dog needs! I care for pets in my home by providing daily grooming, obedience training, and plenty of playtime. I enjoy staying active with pets to ensure they are happy and healthy. Each pet receives personalized attention, whether it's a walk, a training session, or some fun and games.

“I'm always a little nervous leaving my boy Blu with new people since he can be a little shy, but I could tell he had a great time hanging out at Melissa's for the afternoon. I received updates and pics of him happily running around her yard with her dog, and making himself maybe a little too comfortable on her sofa. I would not hesitate to entrust her with his care in the future. Highly recommend.”

“I think our puppy Lucy officially found her second home with Dawn and her family! Knowing we needed a sitter before even bringing our puppy home, I turned to Rover and found Dawn—and I’m so glad I did. She went above and beyond from the start, even coming over with her kids to meet Lucy beforehand. She’s truly salt of the earth, and I immediately felt at ease the moment I met her. As first-time dog parents, we had plenty of questions and requests, and Dawn was so accommodating, evening keeping us updated with the sweetest photos. I loved that on our first daycare service Lucy got to socialize with her kids and even play with another dog while she was there. On top of that, my husband has a difficult work schedule, and Dawn was incredibly flexible, which made everything so much easier. Watching a hyper puppy is no small task, but Dawn handled it with such care and patience. We are so grateful to have Dawn and her family in out circle!”

“Rosie was perfectly happy and content at drop off under Clarajean’s careful and calm care. We knew immediately that her home was a special place for our small dog. We appreciated Clarajean’s attentiveness to Rosie’s needs and we received fun updates/pics during her stay. At pick- up, Rosie’s affection for Clarajean was clear. It was comforting to know that she had been so loved and cared for.”
