Kairi is an awesome dog sitter. My pups love her and she does a great job taking care of them and keeping me looped in. Definitely my “go to” when I have to travel for work.

If I could sum Talon up in one word it would be AMAZING! She was right on time and our dogs loved her immediately - it usually takes time for them to warm up to new people, but they sensed her “dog whisperer” side. You will not go wrong by booking with Talon. Looking forward to our next trip knowing our dogs will be taking very well care of.

About: When me and your dog get together, and I’ll drop off your dog. Your dog will tell you how much they enjoyed the excitement and plans, but we did the amount of walks we do in the amount of time to play play fetch go to the dog park go on a run, the amount of snacks that we eat it’s like a dream come true just in dog form. I love my dog and being outside so I will love your dog just as much maybe more! Every day of the week Sunday through Sunday whenever I can play with your dog or changes going on a walk is the perfect time for me. I care for the dog like it’s my dog. Anytime of the daylight and sun is up is when we will be outside and enjoying the sunshine and breeze

Laura was the best pet sitter for my 2 dogs and 2 cats for in-home care. They all accepted her from the first meeting. She respected everything in the house and though it wasn’t expected had tidied the house before our arrival home making for a great homecoming. I will certainly have her care for the pets again.

Becky is great! My friend dog sitter fell through for NYE, and Becky was available. She met Beau and me on an evening a couple days prior. My mini Aussie Beau has cancer, so he needs to pee about every 4-5 hours due to his meds and drinking a lot of water. I was out of town for the night. Becky made sure to watch him and let him out when needed. She let me know when she left my house, and I could hardly tell she was even there, but my Beau got his treats and bathroom breaks so I know she took good care of him! Meeting Becky, she instant gave me good vibes and I can tell she cares about animals. Highly recommend her!

Nathan watched our 2 dogs and cat while we went on vacation for 6 days. We had never used Rover before so we're a little nervous. But he did great and the pets were taken good care of. Updates and pictures were sent many days. Very appreciated. We will be using his services again.

We feel lucky to have found Ronda! Our pup is very shy and nervous, but Ronda was able to win her over with love and cuddles. Mia was not as “unhappy “ when we came home, which was clear to me she had great care and love. We also appreciate that she left our house as though she was never there.

About: Over 10 years caring for dogs of all types—including high-energy breeds, seniors, and dogs with behavioral challenges. I've successfully boarded dogs with food aggression and anxiety, always providing a calm, safe, and structured environment. What Sets Me Apart: 🐾 Experience with difficult behaviors like food aggression 🐾 Comfortable with administering meds or special diets 🐾 Patient and confident handling all breeds and temperaments 🐾 Reliable and calm under pressure I treat every dog like family—with structure, respect, and lots of tail wags. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I’ll keep your pup safe, active, and cared for like my own. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life, and I love building my schedule around it. I'm currently available mid-mornings through early evenings, which makes me a great fit for mid-day walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening feeding routines. I’m reliable, flexible, and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk. Right now, I have open spots in my schedule, so your pet will get plenty of dedicated one-on-one time! I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting with a high level of care and attention. In a pet’s home, I stick to their regular routine as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like medication or crate time. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and not alone while their owners are away. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on giving them exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. During house sitting, I also keep the home tidy and secure, so you come back to a happy pet and a well-cared-for space.

Delaney saved our last minute trip by agreeing to stay with our cat. Her love of animals was immediately obvious. She is very prompt about responding to messages but did not initiate any herself. This is the only reason I am giving her 4 instead of 5 stars. I did request updates and although she did a good job of staying with our cat, as previously noted she only responded to my request on how things were going. This may have been due to a communication error since both she and I are new to the Rover program. I will try and be more clear in my future requests. Bottom line go with Delaney with confidence.

About: From my first Labrador when I was 10 to my cat and birds I train at the BHRC, I’ve worked and been around all kinds of animals all my life. I have loads of free time at the moment due to being furloughed from work, I have a flexible schedule and can work on short notice. I have a flat spacious for my cat and I.

I work full time and I am home every night so will have plenty of time to go for a walk or play with your pets. I have a good size fenced in yard to let the pets go play and have fun with toys or I like going for hikes and can take them with!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alexa for any pet care needs. She has been a complete blessing! Throughout multiple travel travel changes, she made sure the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was my sweet pup. Even in frigid weather, Alexa was out in her parka, making sure our boy got his frisbee session in, even when I told her she could skip it and stay warm. I’ve had her stay with our dog on multiple occasions and have had nothing but glowing reviews for her. She’s the best!

About: Hello, and welcome. We are excited to host your furry family member! My husband and I have been caring for animals all of our lives and enjoy the company. I also have over a year of experience working as a vet tec assistant as well so your four legged friend is in wonderful hands. While here they will have run of the house, or enjoy time outside in one of our two dog yards. One is connected to our living room and has access to the garage. The other is separate incase your pooch likes thier own space. We take your pooches on walks ans if they would like they can visit the animals on the ranch ( on leash of course) We like to keep busy and understand that our fur babies do as well! I am an entrepreneur and work on my own schedule. This allows me to adjust my hours as needed when I have animal guests in my home. We are set up to provide a variety of options from fenced in yards, dog runs for extra play time or private spaces for those who need more specialized care.

Hannah was an amazing Pet Sitter and house Sitter. This was the best experience I’ve had on Rover. Hannah sent me several pictures throughout the day letting me know how my pups were doing. We truly appreciate how well informed she kept us as one of our dogs is very anxious and she seemed to do very well with her. Also, our house was spotless when we returned and an extra bonus was she made us cookies. Amazing! Highly recommend.
