“Barbara took wonderful care of my shy cat! She was patient, kind, and sent lovely updates and photos. I really appreciated how thoughtful she was in dealing with my cat's shyness - it is clear that she loves cats and pays close attention to each of their quirks and needs. I recommend her without hesitation!”

Rupinder K.

“This was our first time using Rover and Stephanie made it so easy to leave our pup with her! I loved the pictures and updates she left. It was so easy to communicate with her and It made us feel so much better leaving him, we will definitely be using Stephanie again!”

I keep a close eye on safety and comfort in your home, offer plenty of attention and exercise, and send updates so you always know how things are going.

About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a certified animal lover who wants to help keep your fur babies happy when life keeps you busy. I’ve owned dogs my whole life, from tiny chihuahuas to large mastiffs, I’m well versed with all sizes and breeds. I currently have a 2yo Pomeranian who loves playing, learning tricks, and meeting new friends. I also have a 1yo tuxedo cat who loves cuddles and catnip. You can depend on me to take great care of your pets. I can take them on walks, engage in play, keep them company and/or fill their bellies for mealtime. Please just let me know your pets specific needs and preferences and I’ll make sure they are comfy and happy! I just relocated and have a lot of free time to care and play with your fur babies! From the work week to the weekend, I’m available to walk, watch, feed, play, or entertain I have a friendly, playful Pomeranian who loves dogs over people. He would be happy to keep your pup company and play the day away! But if your fur baby prefers their own space, I can easily separate using my baby gates.

“Kelly was very reliable and resourceful. She followed our instructions to the letter, including the locking of the back deck slider--not easy to do. Our cats were content and even the skittish cat who avoids everyone, came out to say "Hi" to Kelly when she came in--that says so much. I would indeed recommend Kelly and Rover for cat and dog home services when you need to be away from home.”

Heidi H.

“Steve was great with Miss Hazel. He was timely and attentive to her. Followed our instructions well and gave us lots of updates. In fact when we came home, she expected him to be there. When she didn’t see him, she went looking for him all over the house! We were only gone 2 days and already she loved him! Thanks for the peace of mind while we were away from our girl!”

Danielle D.

“Kimmie was excellent. She took such good care of our kitties that even our shy one was comfortable around her. Everything was clean and taken care of when we got back home.”

About: Hi, I’m Cory! I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have many years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up with multiple dogs of my own and have also cared for many dogs and cats through Rover over the years. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I do have a kitten named Callie who is very friendly and accustomed to the dogs that stay with us. Your dog does not need to be cat friendly to stay with me. If your dog doesn’t do well with cats, just let me know ahead of time so I can make arrangements to keep Callie safely separated and give your dog their own space. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog in my care feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and am happy to follow specific feeding schedules, walking routines, sleeping arrangements, and other instructions you provide. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs who require a little extra attention as part of their daily routine. I currently work at a middle school on weekdays until 1:45 PM. While I’m at work, my husband is home with our three children, so dogs staying with us are never left home alone during that time. Once I’m home, I’m available to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. We also have a fully fenced in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely get outside, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air throughout the day. IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: Because this is a family home with children and I may care for dogs from more than one household, all dogs staying with me must be friendly and safe around children. Dogs must also be friendly with other dogs unless we have discussed and arranged a private stay in advance. If your dog is not dog friendly or you are unsure how they behave around other dogs, I may still be able to accommodate them ONLY when arranged with me ahead of time and I have no other dogs scheduled to board during their stay. Please contact me before booking so I can confirm whether I’m able to provide a private stay for your requested dates. Otherwise, dogs staying with me must be comfortable and safe around other dogs. For the safety of my family and every animal in my care, I ask that you be completely open with me about your dog’s personality, habits, medical needs, anxieties, triggers, and typical behavior. The more I know about your dog beforehand, the better I can make their stay comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being treated like part of the family while they’re here. You can depend on me to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care and to treat your pet as I would my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or tell me a little about your pet before booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I'm off from work during the summer and during the school year I work at a middle school until 1:45. While I’m gone, my family will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!

“Mario is awesome! He was very thoughtful and patient with our pets and did a great job of communicating with us while we were away. He really put us at ease. Would highly recommend 👍”

“I’m a first time user of Rover and I can’t say enough great things about my experience. Francine P took the most amazing care of my two needy, nervous and sometimes difficult chihuahua’s. Francine went above and beyond with them and I felt so relaxed while I was on vacation. She was on time and went the extra mile when watching them. She sent my daily photos of my two Puppies and made them feel so loved while I was away. I am so pleased with the service I received and I would recommend Rover and Francine to anyone. I plan on using Rover and Francine P again.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years and have experience with all kinds of pets, from large dogs like German Shepherds to small terriers, cats, kittens, and even fish. I’ve cared for energetic, shy, and senior pets, including those with specific diets or unique needs. I’m very adaptable, patient, and genuinely love animals, so I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a college student, so my schedule is pretty consistent during the week. My busiest days are Tuesdays (8 AM–4 PM) and Wednesdays (10 AM–4 PM). On Mondays and Fridays, I’m only away from 10 AM–2 PM, and Thursdays I’m gone just from 11 AM–12 PM. Outside of classes, I’m very flexible and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and care. I also work part-time at a country club, but it’s currently the off-season, so my schedule is mostly focused on school. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two friendly pets of my own, so I’m very used to maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and stick to their usual routines. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions and make it a priority to understand each pet’s specific needs, habits, and personality. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty routines, and any special care instructions. If I’m ever unsure about something, I always ask to make sure I’m doing exactly what’s best for your pet. I’m very patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I truly care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I’ll treat your pets like my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime while keeping their normal routines in mind. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away. I am available early mornings, mid-mornings, afternoons and evenings :) I will do my best to work with your time and day requests as a daily, weekly, or on-call request. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and normal routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, or favorite activities. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I've been surrounded by and taken care of animals my entire life, and I want to be your new trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker! I have a standard poodle named Remy and maine coon cat named Bash at home, and they are my everything. I've fostered kittens (as young as 2.5 weeks old) for six years now and have been a petsitter for longer. I'm great with people and even better with cats and dogs. I want to keep your pets safe and happy, and you worry-free! I can administer medicine, trim nails, walk any size dog, clean, monitor urine and stool output, keep track of mood and general signs for concern, and I love sending cute update pictures so you know your pets are thriving! I just graduated with my master’s in occupational therapy and I’m studying for my boards, so my days are free and I’d love to sit for you or care for your pets however you need! I'm great at following directions and problem-solving, and I'll do whatever I can to make sure you're comfortable with me entering your home to care for your pets. I understand different types of collars, leashes, and equipment needed to guarantee a pet's safety. I am very aware of my surroundings and good at reading a pet's energy and potential reactivity. I've had animals my entire life, so closing the door quickly and not letting pets out is second nature to me. I know your pets are your family, and I will treat them as such!

“We love Erica! We book her every time we leave town. She’s professional, reliable, and great with cats who need a little extra (medication, etc). Highly recommend!”

About: Animals are basically part of my DNA. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was a child, and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also been riding and caring for horses my entire life, which means I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and understanding animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to seniors who need a calmer pace and extra TLC. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, so pets are never left alone and are part of my daily routine. My home sits on 3 acres of private property surrounded by a state park, which means lots of space for play and long walks or hikes. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I care for pets by treating them like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of supervised exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that means extra activity for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency with puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Natalie was so sweet and warm! She was amazing and patient with my baby. I felt very at peace with her coming over and she sent me so many great photos! She is trustworthy and I can’t wait to have her watch Crispy again.”
