“Kaitlyn and John took amazing care of my dog while I was away. This was the first time I left her at someone else’s home for an extended amount of time and it seemed as if my dog fit right in with their family and was given so much love and attention. They sent pictures and updates daily and my dog returned to me happy and healthy. I would love to have them watch my girl again next time I am in need of a pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Julie was great.! We were delayed over the holidays and she was very helpful in accommodating our change. Our Maizey was very well taken care of and seemed relaxed & happy upon picking her up.”
“Amanda is amazing. Lola loves the whole family. Happy dogs at Amanda’s. Regular updates and feedback. Very responsible care. Thank you Amanda for taking the fear and anxiety out of the equation.”
“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”
“Olga was perfect! She was flexible when our dates shifted and sent photos daily to help with how much we missed our dog. It was clear to she got lots of exercise and ball chasing (her favorite activity!) I would definitely have our dog stay with her anytime.”
“Jessica was kind and welcoming for my nervous doggo! She took great care of him and helped him settle in quickly. She also sent me sweet pics of him every day. Will definitely be returning to Jessica for future pet sitting needs.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Ashley was very communicative and kept us updated about our two dogs throughout our time away. She welcomed them into her home and they seemed very happy. Would highly recommend.”
“Trey is an awesome sitter! I know when Trey watches my dog that he is well taken care of, comfortable, and all his care needs are met. Thank you for taking such good, attentive care of Rocky!”
“Lindsey was great! My dog felt right at home with her two pups and was well taken care of. Looking forward to having Lindsey watch her in the future when I need a dog sitter.”
“Huw & Jolynne made our yorkie feel safe and loved! Very friendly folks who we will request again! PS I’d like to tip but don’t see how, where… new to this app”
“Crystal has a great facility with large kennels in the garage. This worked well for my young, so I didn't need ro worry about her chewing anything in her house. I just don't know how that would go. Crystal and I worked together well to assure everything was smooth logistics and Lolli's stay. There was a kiddie pool with sprinkler for the dogs to play in, really nice Thank you Crystal, we will certainly remember your option when we need future boarding”
“It was such a comfort knowing Mowgli was living his best life while I was out of town! He came home and slept most of the day, evidence of days well spent…playing with new doggo friends and getting lots of love! Thanks again!”
“Sely was incredible! She helped me last minute with a situation with a friend’s dog. She sent me updates every day with pictures and videos, and she has a great space to accommodate any personality/type of dog.”
“This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with other people, let alone strangers. We went to do a meet and greet beforehand and didn’t know quite what to expect. Ryan and Chelsea were great with both of them from the start. Ryan answered all of our questions and was very open. While we were away he kept us updated with how they were doing and sent us photos and videos often. That made it so much easier to enjoy our trip and not have to worry how they were doing. When we went to pick them up, our dogs were excited to see us, but made sure to get last pets from Ryan. We know they are in good hands with Ryan and Chelsea. We will definitely be coming back to them for our trips and we highly recommend! Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I’m Susie. I’ve always been an animal lover and know how much our pets mean to us. For years I’ve cared for my friends’ dogs whenever they traveled, and after realizing how much I enjoy it, I decided to join Rover. At home, I have a dachshund named Nugget and a cat named Cosmo, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I live in a single-family home with my son, and we have a fully fenced backyard with a medium-sized doggy door, giving dogs plenty of room to safely play and explore. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home while they’re with us. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home 4 days a week so I am available often. Thursday I go into the office 9-5, so animal would need to handle some alone time (crated/house trained) I follow instructions left by owner and if I need any further instructions I would contact owner. I am pretty laid back and animal would have full access to home and backyard.
“Mia was wonderful! I was really nervous about leaving Archie for the first time. My other sitters had fallen through and she was able to help us out with only a few days notice which was so appreciated. Her communication was great and we received pictures and videos of Archie. He got lots of walks and time outside. I would recommend Mia to anyone who wants their dog to be treated with the best care.”
“Ashlee took amazing care of my dog, Charlie. This was the first time I’d ever used a boarding service, so I was very nervous. Ashlee even sent me pictures of Charlie during her stay. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Ashlee’s care of my puppy. 11/10 highly recommended!”

“Izabelle took great care of my cats, and also did a couple of things around the house that made coming home more pleasant. She let the cats, who can be a bit nervous around new people, take their time getting to know her and made clear progress with them every day. By all measures, they seemed to have a great week!”
“Thank you Katy. I love how you got to know my animals. I would trust you to take care of my animals anytime. I did not worry because I knew my cats were well taken care of.”

“Highly recommend!!! We booked Sharon on super late notice and she was happy to help. She was quick to respond, sent pictures, and even gave Griffey a little pedicure!”
“Ashley is a dime a dozen! My pup loves visiting Ashley and her fur babies. She is so kind and understanding when unexpected things come up and will work with you however she can. If you need someone to watch your babies she is definitely the perfect person! If I could give more than a 5 star I would.”
“I immediately knew when I visited Trey that her home and family wereperfect for my dog King. She sent photos during his stay and was very responsive to texts. Will book with her in the future!”
“Mandy took amazing care of my dog Ophelia. I didn't even have to worry. At the end of the day, Ophi was happy and sleepy. Mandy was very responsive and sent awesome photos of Ophi. I WILL be rebooking with her, and I'm so grateful to have found her!”

About: My husband and I lost our great Pyrenees last year :( We miss him. We would like to watch another dog because our shihtzu is getting older and does not like to hike anymore. She does enjoy her walks tho. We like all types of dogs as long as they are well behaved and get along with cats and other dogs. Our home is 2,800 sq ft and we have a 10,000 sq ft yard. We can only host 1 dog so your dog will be well taken care. We prefer only one at a time since we also have a cat but may make an exception if from the same family . I am currently working part time but work from home most of the time. My husband also works from home . We walk our dog 2 -3 times a day. We like to hike and during the summer and in winter we walk the trails that are right next to our home. I have a fenced yard , but can also crate your baby if you prefer. We have everything needed for a big or little dog.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a little kid. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and they are truly family to me. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my late dog, Roo, who battled cancer for about a year before we lost her in September. During that time, I gained experience providing medication, extra comfort, patience, and specialized care. I have a 1 year old puppy named Tilly and a 14 year old dog named Leo who keep me active and remind me every day how important exercise, playtime, routine, and affection are. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own! Whether your pup loves to play, go on walks, or curl up on the couch for cuddles, they’ll receive plenty of attention and care while staying with me. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I work from 10am-4pm Monday to Thursday. Friday-Sunday I am off! Before and after work, I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks!! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced backyard for supervised play and plenty of space for dogs to relax indoors. My own dogs are friendly, playful, and very accustomed to being around other dogs. I carefully introduce pets with slow introduction so your dog won’t get overwhelmed. I follow each owner’s instructions, and maintain routines as closely as possible. I provide lots of attention, updates, and LOTS of photos throughout their stay!
“Zhenya’s house is set up to be the ultimate pet resort! Left my dog there for daycare and he was well taken care of. Zhenya’s is a professional and you can definitely depend on her!”

“Very happy with Crystal! My dogs were well taken care of & I had piece of mind knowing they were in good hands. Very kind & patient helping me navigate your Rover app too! 😊👍”
About: Your pup will be treated like family! I have always been an animal lover and have treated all animals with kindness and compassion. I grew up with dogs (and a variety of other pets) and understand the commitment involved in taking good care of your beloved pet. I love watching Cesar Milan and know that rules, boundaries and limitations are also a key part of making a dog feel at ease. That being said, I'm quite a softy so there are generally very few rules as far as the house goes! :) My yard is completely fenced with lots of room to play. They can sleep wherever they choose and will always get plenty of time outdoors ( if they would like). I love walking and will take your pup for as many walks as you would like. My job is very flexible so while dog sitting I will always be at home and with your dog for the entire duration. I know that calmness and kindness are key to reassuring your pup and allowing them to feel happy and comfortable. Boarding can be stressful for animals and parents and I assure you that I will do everything I can to make the experience a joyous and pleasant one. Looking forward to caring for your beloved pup! I have recently lost my 17 yr old chihuahua so looking to have some more dog love in my life right now. Sincerely, Jackie I have a very flexible job as a vending machine owner/operator so I have lots of time to give love and walks to your fur baby! I like to keep pups stimulated with a variety of activities involving exercise, games and love. I enjoy creating fun games for them to do around the house!
About: Growing up on a farm instilled a love of animals in me from a young age. I am a true animal lover and prefer the company of animals to many humans ; ) I have experience with most pets from dogs and cats to birds, livestock and horses. I have rescued countless strays, trained many puppies and kittens and the running joke in the family is “if there’s a stray in a five mile radius they end up at Carly’s door”. I work from home so I’m never far whether your pet loves to sit nearby and remain close to me throughout the day or just needs a quiet and restful space, I have them covered. I provide dog beds and cat beds and do my utmost to make your furry friend feel settled in their home away from home. I will soon have a fenced in yard for my cat-friendly dog and four bedrooms for cats if they need a peaceful retreat. I provide fresh, filtered water daily along with meals and of course routine walks/potty breaks/litter box cleaning. If toys are allowed we have plenty to go around!
“Jen was great with Joey! It rained most of the day so she made a point to take him to stores (Lowe’s etc) where he could get plenty of exercise. Joey came home happy and tired after spending the day with Jen!!!”
About: I’m Zoey, I’m 30 and from Texas, I’ve been in Alaska almost 9 years. Animal lover and plant enthusiast!! I’ve loved taking care of animals since I was a little girl, I’ve always felt connected to all walks of life, and found them extremely intriguing and inspiring. My friends and family have counted on me to walk and sit for their pets for years now, including cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, birds and plants and a couple reptiles here and there :) hope to meet ur pup soon! I’m an owner of almost 50 indoor house plants. Which calls for routine and not quite like an animal, but I love them that much, I love taking care of things is what I’m trying to say :-) I wanna spend more time with animals than humans, life’s ruff. I would absolutely love to meet your pets, and help maintain the overall health of their fitness, taking them on long walks or short, I’m ready for it! Will follow any instructions left and or schedules, about triggers and what to avoid or what to focus on
About: I have taken care of animals and properties since I was 13. Including through highschool, college, marriage. I love all animals, all exercise, outdoors, and organizing. I love the change and experience of taking care of other properties while housesitting. I love exercise, play time and cuddles while petsitting. I love to stay busy. I do whatever is requested by owner. I feed, bathe, groom, walk, run, drive. Feel free to give me a list. I appreciate the business.
About: I have loved everything furry, scaley, and feathered since preschool. I have cared for dozens of dogs throughout my life, including my current rescue Douglas. I have cared for my parents elderly pups since high school, and have a firm grasp on high-needs, whether it be specialized food rituals, medication administration, or a higher level of patientlce and understanding for behavioral concerns. I am currently a full-time artist, meaning I or my partner are always available for furry friends. Your pet will have around-the-clock care in my home. I have a fenced yard, as well as a lead if your pup is an escape artist. I currently have one dog and two cats within the home. I have space accommodation for a crate if needed, as well as having a few of my own (2 medium crates as well as a fenced inside enclosure if your pup likes to extra room if you would prefer a pup to be crated at all during their stay. For kitties, we have a designated guest cat room equipt with two cat towers, two litter boxes, and many comfy spots.
About: Current medical student with so much motivation to get outside with my dog in between studying. I'm also a professional photographer, so expect lot's of photos of your pup! When I was a kid, I always wanted a dog….but we owned everything except a dog due to our lack of a yard. To solve this, I would knock on my neighbors doors to walk and play with their dogs everyday. Now I can finally live out my hotel for dogs dreams. My rescue dog, Cowboy, would also love a furry friend. He was the dog the shelter used to socialize their dogs and I’m sure he misses it. I hope I can help you out and use the experience I’ve gained from training him and the dogs in my childhood to love and care for your friend! I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I take my dog on 2 walks a day and spend a lot of time playing, training, and cuddling. I would love to share this time with your pet too. I have a fully enclosed private back yard. Right outside my front door is a short walk to a park and many other walking trails.
