“Kyler took such great care of my 7 week old puppy! She was very accommodating and understanding of scheduling changes, especially with my last minute booking. My dog definitely enjoyed her time staying with Kyler! I will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
“As dog parents for the first time, we didn't know what to except leaving Curie for a week! Rachel took care of everything. She always kept us updated and sent an occasional pic when we missed her. Surprisingly Curie came back calmer, more obedient, with less biting habit. I'll surely recommend her service. Thanks Rachel.”
“Shelby was such a great dog sitter for our dog! She sent the best pictures of him enjoying his stay and kept us updated with him on our long weekend trip. Her dogs seemed to be super friendly too and played with ours so we know he was in good hands the whole time!”
“Kristen was absolutely amazing! This was the first time I was leaving my cat with anyone and I was so nervous, she made me feel so much better! She sent me daily updates and pictures and was so patient when my cat was not so happy around the dog to begin with! I would HIGHLY recommend her and will have her keep Luna again if I ever need it!”
“Lauren was so attentive and passionate about my furbabies needs. She frequently sent updates and pictures. They were always smiling and being pampered. They are definitely going to visit Lauren and Cooper again.”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Tatiana took very good care of Benny! She sent daily pictures and messages. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed. I would definitely recommend her for your pet!”
“Jordyn was amazing with our very social and active Lagotto! I think he has been slightly depressed since he got home because of all the fun he had at her house. 😂 Every pic she sent was of him with what looked like a huge grin on his face. He had a blast and was well taken care of!”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing and Bella had such a great time being with her for the night! She was super communicative about how Bella was doing and sent me lots of pics and all around very responsive and easy to work with! Will definitely call on her again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“We have never had a bad booking on Rover BUT Chyra is the best, BAR NONE! She provides great instructions to set expectations. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND treating a hot spot that appeared, she gave me something to read explaining my dog's behavior AND she even went to the store for us to get some extra supplies we needed. If all of that doesn't say enough, i couldn't get Chadwick to leave with me... HOW EMBARRASSING! It goes without saying that we've found our forever sitter because the icing on the top is she's :10 minutes away from us!”
“Barrie is just plain awesome. She loved our dog at least as much as we do. She sent updates and pics and I had zero doubt they my dog would come home a better dog. Sam loves to go for walks and Barrie gave her plenty of that! Can't say enough about what a great experience this was for Sammy....and us...I did not worry a second about her! Thanks for being a rockstar Barrie!”
“Savannah did an excellent job watching Rose. She was extremely accommodating to me and Rose. It was obvious she and her family made Rose feel welcomed in her home. I would definitely recommend her and will rebook with her.”
“Jennifer was so great with my boys! I had them stay for the weekend with her while I moved and I could easily tell how much she loved them. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her!”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”

“Me and my kitties would be lost without Mary! They love her and she always goes above and beyond to cater to them and even my plants too! Every time I come home, everyone is happy and thriving! As a helicopter mom, I love her detailed updates every visit. She takes the cutest pictures too!”
“Seeing all of the pictures of my baby while I’m gone makes my trip so much easier. Knowing her insulin is given and lots of love makes me so happy. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Lauren was awesome! She communicated with us the whole time during her check in. She did a great job checking in on our kitties and even spent some time playing with them! We will definitely be booking again next time!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I cannot say enough about Riley. Riley went above and beyond for my 13 year-old Ragdoll over the Christmas holiday. I was nervous to leave my fur baby, but Riley made sure he was loved and comfortable. Riley also managed to take some amazing pictures that I will forever cherish. Do not hesitate to book Riley for your Rover needs!!”
“Laura was an absolute angel to my two cats, and she goes above and beyond to make sure all pets she’s caring for our comfortable. She stayed at my place until every cat was found and given some attention (which was hard, as my cats are excellent hiders!). I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Katie has a pro attitude and i immediately felt at ease knowing my furbaby will be in good hands. Katie is very sharp and made effort to understand my needs even though i’m not good at explaining🤓”
“Britiany did such a great job taking care of my 3 cats! She sent detailed updates and pictures of all of them each visit. When we got home, we got the sweetest Polaroid keepsakes of our babies. I have already booked her for the next time I am going out of town ❤️”
“Sara came through for a last minute kitty reservation! I have a problem pee-er and she handled it all so great! Everything was taken care of when we got back. Would use again! So reliable. Even brought in unexpected packages. Thanks!”
“Claire was a wonderful cat sitter! She was communicative, attentive, dependable, and thorough. For our cats, having Claire visit daily was a far better option than boarding them. Her daily report card included photos, which we appreciated. We will definitely call Claire in the future.”
“Christina was amazing! My cat, Cece, loved her. Cece normally never comes out for anyone when we are gone but she came out for Christina and got some pets and love almost every day we were gone. Clearly she was very comfortable with her and felt safe. She even went and picked up a package for me at the leasing office because it needed to be refrigerated and came earlier than expected. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Danielle is the best!! Our sweet kitties love her and she takes amazing care of them! We love having her sit for them because she’s so responsible and always sends us sweet updates which gives us peace of mind😊”
“Jordan did a great job with my girls! She followed all instructions and even got my puppy to use the bathroom so I don’t have to worry about her in her kennel! She also brought in an Amazon package and put it on the stairs for me. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Marilyn was fantastic! Everything was clean when we got home and she sent lots of pictures to me which was very reassuring. The cats got lots of love and care from Marilyn and seemed very happy.”
“We love having Jaci and Holden watch our cat crew. They’re so great with them and keep us updated with notes and pictures. Even our new skittish cat has warmed up to them pretty quickly. It’s so nice to have these two nearby to take care of our pets while we’re away.”
“She was very sweet and communicative. I love the detail in which she wrote her notes. My dog is very precious to me and it means a lot to have someone taken care of her who truly cared about her.”
“Annie took in a last minute request to watch my cat Kage for the weekend and did an excellent job taking care of him. She was great with communication and i would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants their fur baby to be watched in a loving home”

“I LOVE JESSICA! She is so sweet and very informative! I think Jojo and I both look forward to seeing her every morning. I will definitely book with her every chance we can.”
“Doug did a great job taking care of our dog, Paisley! We were visiting family and needed a sitter in a pinch (during a holiday weekend no less) and Doug was super quick to respond and help us out. He provided nice updates with photos, and it was clear Paisley had a great time and was well taken care of. He even took the extra effort to replace her ball when she lost it the bushes while playing outside. Would definitely use Doug again.”
“What a blessing! While traveling from Michigan to Alabama for a conference, I didn't want my furbaby couped up in the hotel all day. Finding Lawden was a blessing. Mr. Brown met new friends and had a ball. Thank you Lawden!”
“Kyler is so good with our fur baby. He is always so excited when it is daycare day to get to go play and have so much fun all day! She takes great pics and is informative. We are definitely repeat clients.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my deep understanding and love for animals. I believe that pets are not just animals but they are members of the family. Therefore, I treat them with the same care and respect as their owners would. I stay home most of the day so the pet is not left alone for any extended amount of time and if I am not home then they will be in the area I keep my dogs. Firstly, I ensure that pets have access to clean water and food at all times. Secondly, they should be given regular exercise and playtime as per their breed and age requirements. Thirdly, it is crucial to maintain good hygiene by keeping their living space clean and grooming them regularly.
“Amy has been watching Greta, my very active GSP puppy, these past couple of weeks and so far it has been great. She has a dog and a toddler that gets plenty of interaction with our puppy and Greta is always happy to go back to see her new friends. I am very appreciative of Amy’s willingness to work with our busy schedules that fluctuate for drop off and pick up.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my mom and grandmother started the humane society in my hometown so we have always taken care of animals. I will take care of your dog like it was my own. I love all animals but especially dogs! I currently work from home so I am available to watch your dog during the day or overnight boarding. I can do drop ins or walks after 4pm. My wife is a RN so she is home 4 days a week to help watch and play with your dog also! Someone will always be available to supervise your pet and can update you with pictures through their stay! I have a fenced in yard and a dog door so they have access to come in and out as they please. I also have a big energetic German shepherd lab mix that will play with your dog all day! We have daily frisbee tosses and fetch in the backyard.
“I can’t say enough great things about Rachel! They took amazing care of our Miniature Dachshund, Ollie, while we were in town for the Supercross race. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Ollie was happy, well-cared for, and I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, and I’m so grateful to have found Rachel. Wished we lived closer so I could continue to use her services. She has the sweetest little family too. We Highly recommend!!!”
“This Riley's first stay with Breanna and Jason and it was a big hit 😀 Riley came home happy and tired 🤗 I will say that Breanna and Jason have a very handsome Golden of their own that might have influenced Riley's attitude 😉 Both of the hoomans were kind, courteous and flexible with my plans and took time to properly introduce my Riley to their home and see that she was well cared for. We look forward to seeing Breanna and Jason and family again soon 😊”
About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.
About: I honestly enjoy dogs and cats more than most people, sorry not sorry 😆. There’s just something about the trusting love of an animal that brings joy to life/my world. I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years, first to my sweet Charlie - no longer with us; and now to our foster fail Maya. Charlie was a border collie who never ran out of energy. Like, ever 😆. Maya is a more settled gal, but she still loves a good walk/hike as long as a nap comes afterwards. I’ve also been a cat mom, and cat foster mom for over 20 years. Our Sophie & Evie keep us on our toes requesting frequent snuggles, play time, treats, and nap time in our laps 💜🐾 If it’s not already evident, I firmly believe: pets are family, and pets have rights to autonomy/boundaries with people and other animals. I fully expect pet owners to have the same standards of care for selecting someone to help with their pet as I believe they’d use to choose a babysitter for their human kiddos. I happily respect and help maintain people’s rules for their pets (but all y’all that say they can’t get on the couch need an intervention 🙃😉 I’m just saying). Let’s chat about how to help your pets live their best lives when you can’t be with them - whether that’s walks, stop in visits, boarding in my home or other care needs. I work from home and have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to do drop in visits to feed, administer meds, let dogs out, attend to cat boxes etc. and during my visits I will also provide a bit of attention and interaction for your pets if they desire it - I’m not just a run in and run back out sitter ☺️ I provide in home boarding and doggy day care at my home, where they have access to our fully fenced backyard for potty visits and playtime (weather safety dependent). I will probably only offer cat care visits to your home, as I have our 2 girls here full time as well as often having a foster kitten/cat or 2. I will be happy to cater a care plan that best suits your requirements and your cat’s needs.
About: I’m an educator, dad, and lifelong pet owner with more than 20 years of experience caring for animals. Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable. As an early childhood professor, caregiving, observation, communication, and responsibility are quite literally part of what I do every day. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I expect for my own. As a university professor, my schedule offers more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5, particularly on certain weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also a dad, so planning, routines, and being dependable are already a big part of my life! I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal schedule whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. I know pets are family, and I treat both your pet and your home with that level of care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, and pay attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“My dog Arabelle enjoys doggy daycare with Julia and her dog Stanley. We get lots of photos throughout the day and know that she was in good hands. Arabelle looks forward to more visits with Julia in the future!”
About: We have a dog park where your fur babies can experience the time of their lives. Also walks around the neighborhood 💕💕💕💕💕. Nice community here! I am and independent contractor, and basically has plenty of time on my hands: I will go the extra mile to make sure everything is okay I devote so much time with other peoples dogs it’s insane. lol but I love it , and wouldn’t have it any other way !
“I cannot say enough good about Savannah! She is an absolutely amazing caretaker. She treated my little girl like she was her own. If I could give her 10 out of 5 stars I would.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is something that comes very naturally to me. I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being treated with the same love and attention I’d give my own. We currently have three cats—one outdoor cat and two indoor cats—as well as two bunnies who have their own separate space. Our cats are extremely well socialized and are accustomed to being around other cats, dogs, and our bunnies. We do not currently have a dog of our own. I’m comfortable with all the everyday things that make a big difference: feeding routines, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter boxes, keeping spaces clean, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I also understand that every animal has its own personality. Some want to be right beside you, while others need a little more patience and space before they feel comfortable. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and keep you updated along the way, so you can relax knowing your pet is being genuinely cared for. I am a stay-at-home/Homeschooling Mom to an 8 year old son. We offer boarding Monday-Friday and some holidays. We welcome all fur babies and truly enjoy the time we get to spend with each one of them. An area of my back yard is fenced while the other half is open. We have plenty of shaded space available for those hot days while enjoying the beautiful weather!

“I’m late leaving a review but this lady deserves getting a STELLAR review!! Please, please select her. Not only is she great with dogs, she comes prepared & is totally committed to the love and care for your dog. Best of all if she can’t make a walk she has her own back up!!! You don’t have to scramble to find one for a random day (which isn’t easy). If Hilda and Django were still living in my home, I would still be using her services.”
“Riley is a wonderful dog walker/sitter (and dog photographer)! I could tell through the many photos and when we got home that our dog was comfortable and happy throughout the day (:”
“Highly recommend Jamie. She stepped in while I was recovering from knee surgery and walked Pippa every day. She is dependable, on time, friendly and communicates well. Pippa was always excited to see Jamie when she came.”
“Christina is the best petsitter. My experience with her for the past 4 months have been amazing. I was never worried about my dog and she took care of Kai so well. 1000% recommended”

About: I had 3 cocker spaniels as a kid, separately, loved them, they loved me. Did everything together. Would love more time with dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Emily, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family where our dogs were truly family members, and my first job at 11 years old was walking my neighbors’ dogs. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need medication or extra attention. As a Rover customer myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’m home full-time, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. My own dog, Ollie, loves making new friends, and we stick to a structured routine with multiple walks, enrichment activities, and lots of cuddle time. I maintain a clean, safe environment and can follow your dog’s regular schedule, dietary needs, medications, and any special instructions. I always make sure to have a clean environment so the dogs can’t get into anything that would be harmful to them. They will get at least 4 walks a day and one trip to the fenced in dog park behind my complex if weather permits.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter when I was 14. I walked dogs, cleaned cat cages, and socialized cats. I’ve walked dogs and dog sat for neighbors and family friends in the past. I currently go to college and have classes two days a week. However, I have a pretty flexible schedule and would be able to walk or check on animals in between classes as well! I love giving animals attention. I’m comfortable with all size and energy dogs, I had a chocolate lab who LOVED to play. I would also be happy to help teach dogs basic commands!

About: I have been a dog owner/caretaker since the age of 13. I have looked after family and friends’s dogs over the years. I will love and treat your dog as my own. I am currently a student and so I have a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. I am happy to come check in on the dog throughout the day or hang out with it during the afternoons into the evenings! I cannot bring animals into my dorm so I will have to care for your pet in your home. However, I do have access to dog parks and am happy to take your dog on adventures!

“Kyler took such great care of my 7 week old puppy! She was very accommodating and understanding of scheduling changes, especially with my last minute booking. My dog definitely enjoyed her time staying with Kyler! I will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Deby took great care of our fur baby, Fitz, while we were out of town for a weekend! She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout our stay. She is kind, responsive and helped ease any worries we had about leaving him for the weekend :)”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
“As dog parents for the first time, we didn't know what to except leaving Curie for a week! Rachel took care of everything. She always kept us updated and sent an occasional pic when we missed her. Surprisingly Curie came back calmer, more obedient, with less biting habit. I'll surely recommend her service. Thanks Rachel.”
“Shelby was such a great dog sitter for our dog! She sent the best pictures of him enjoying his stay and kept us updated with him on our long weekend trip. Her dogs seemed to be super friendly too and played with ours so we know he was in good hands the whole time!”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Tatiana took very good care of Benny! She sent daily pictures and messages. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed. I would definitely recommend her for your pet!”
“Jordyn was amazing with our very social and active Lagotto! I think he has been slightly depressed since he got home because of all the fun he had at her house. 😂 Every pic she sent was of him with what looked like a huge grin on his face. He had a blast and was well taken care of!”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing and Bella had such a great time being with her for the night! She was super communicative about how Bella was doing and sent me lots of pics and all around very responsive and easy to work with! Will definitely call on her again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“We have never had a bad booking on Rover BUT Chyra is the best, BAR NONE! She provides great instructions to set expectations. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND treating a hot spot that appeared, she gave me something to read explaining my dog's behavior AND she even went to the store for us to get some extra supplies we needed. If all of that doesn't say enough, i couldn't get Chadwick to leave with me... HOW EMBARRASSING! It goes without saying that we've found our forever sitter because the icing on the top is she's :10 minutes away from us!”
“Barrie is just plain awesome. She loved our dog at least as much as we do. She sent updates and pics and I had zero doubt they my dog would come home a better dog. Sam loves to go for walks and Barrie gave her plenty of that! Can't say enough about what a great experience this was for Sammy....and us...I did not worry a second about her! Thanks for being a rockstar Barrie!”
“Savannah did an excellent job watching Rose. She was extremely accommodating to me and Rose. It was obvious she and her family made Rose feel welcomed in her home. I would definitely recommend her and will rebook with her.”
“Jennifer was so great with my boys! I had them stay for the weekend with her while I moved and I could easily tell how much she loved them. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her!”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”
“★★★★★ Absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Hampton and Willow, and I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She went above and beyond when I unexpectedly got a flat tire and even brought the dogs home to me so I didn’t have to worry about getting them. That meant so much to me! She was kind, dependable, communicative, and truly treated my dogs like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur babies! 🐾❤️”
