“Jocelyn and her family were wonderful with my sweet boy Hamilton. Pictures and updates were much appreciated and they treated him like he was one of their own sweet dogs. We loved them so much we’ve booked our next stay:) Thank you for spoiling my baby:)”
“Lark has watched Kuba 3 times. She sends us pictures while she has him which is amazing. When we pull up Kuba gets excited. It makes us happy that we can leave our baby to play and be well taken care of.”
“They were great! Very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We got pictures and videos daily! Our pitbull got along nicely with their other dogs and seemed to have a great time! We didn't worry about anything and will absolutely be using them again!”
“Pamela was absolutely wonderful. She kept us updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and videos, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how much fun our dog was having. It was clear from every update that our dog was happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.”
“Susan was the best caretaker for my sweet Mia that I could have hoped for. Mia likes a calm environment and that’s what she got with Susan. Mia doesn’t usually play and eat with new people but she was so happy with Susan, she ate a bunch and I got videos of her being playful. She felt at home, and came back to me happy. I will be using Susan’s services again.”
“Absolutely the best guy! Pony loved him, we are so thankful we were able to leave for a week and know he was well loved and taken care of by Chase!! Updates with pictures were given everyday. Thank you so much!!!!!!”
“I didn’t expect my cat to do well with boarding. She’s a very anxious creature. A scaredy cat in the truest sense! Christopher and Jennie did everything in their power to make her feel at home, and I know they did a good job because she bounced back very quickly once we got back home, which has never happened with other boardings! She’s been prone to hiding for days after past experiences, but that didn’t happen here. Thanks for taking care of my best friend, guys. She may not have been super receptive to it, but I know she appreciated you regardless.”
“Alicen was AMAZING with Dan!! Helped us out in a last minute Hail Mary on a Holiday weekend as well!! Could never recommend someone more! Danny played so well with her 2 pups and Alicen kept us very well updated with pictures!!”
“I can't say enough good things about Harriet. She is AMAZING!! we left our fur baby with her and her family for 10 days. Even though I missed him I NEVER worried about him knowing he was in good hands and well taken care of. She sent pics and videos everyday. Please use Harriet for your fur baby. She is absolutely wondfeful!”
“Meagan and her family were so great to our Blu! She was very responsive, great at giving updates, and took him on walks. Blu struggles with allergies and she was so nice keeping us updated and was great about giving him Benadryl. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Ashlee was fantastic. She watched our dogs over memorial day weekend. She was attentive, asked questions about their care, and was open to any concerns/questions I had. She sent me pictures all weekend and updated me on how they were doing!! And she was very flexible when our flight got delayed to come pick them up. Our pups were happy and clean when we picked them up! I highly recommend Ashlee!!!!”

“My kitty loves Carlie L! Both times I’ve had Carlie check on her, I’ve come home to my cat in such a good mood. She clearly loves her. Carlie is really patient with animals and takes direction super well!”
About: I grew up in Texas with 2 cats. One was older and less personable while the other was more comfortable around people. I have a dog now that I’ve had since he was 5 weeks old. I’ve also had two dogs growing up, one with diabetes and health needs. So I have experience with medication as well as vet visits. I am currently in grad school and work as a research assistant with my own self paced hours making my schedule more flexible. I am excited to meet new pets! I will keep your space clean and comfortable for your pets!
“Cynthia was amazing with my cat while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat was happy and comfortable when I got back, and it was clear Cynthia genuinely cared for him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Sharon is the sweetest and took great care of our anxious older cat. :) We were dealing with house repairs during Gravy’s stay and Sharon graciously let us extend his boarding two days past our original stay. She sent us pictures frequently and kept us updated on how he was doing. We’re so grateful to Sharon for making this piece of our circumstances less stressful!”
About: I’ve always loved cats and wanted one ever since I was young, and when I made it to college I was finally able to fulfill that dream and adopt my first cat, Walter, who was just barely a year old when I took him in. Raising Walter has been a truly wonderful experience- I’ve loved getting to learn what kind of food works for him, what toys he prefers, when and where he likes to sleep, everything about him. That’s the thing about cats; they can be a little skittish or scratch you, but oftentimes they just need patience, love, and the right attitude. Aside from raising Walter, I’ve also helped watch friends’ cats over the past two years, including a senior cat who needed a little extra love. It’s important to me that any kitty I get to meet gets the best care possible!
“Lucy did such a wonderful job caring for our cat, Otis, while we were away for a week. The visits were as planned and the cutest photos were shared with us each day. We can not wait to use again!”
“Holly did a great job taking care of my cat Phantom. She followed directions and was very responsible. I would highly recommend Holly and thank her for taking such good care of Phantom.”
“Madelynn was amazing with my kitties, and gave them loads of love and attention. She sent great pics & kept me updated the entire time! I felt so much more comfortable with her there. She was warm & friendly, wanting to introduce herself beforehand, and gave some information about herself, which made the whole process that much better!”
“Rachel was a life saver and did an amazing job checking in on our two cats while we were away! She was so great with communication and even though our cats are skittish she was so sweet and patient with them. We highly recommend her and would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Amanda was so great with our kitty Butters when we needed a sitter after other plans fell through! She was quick to respond to my request, and she always sent great photos and updates on how he was doing at each visit. I couldn’t be happier with her excellent service and care for Butters! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or rebook in the future. I felt so much better and less worried on my trip knowing Butters was in such good hands.”

“Amirah is AMAZING. She took care of my cat while I was out of town. I ended up having to extend my trip for a few days, and Amirah was able to help me and ensured my cat was taken care of. She sent pictures and videos everyday so I didn't have to worry and was very communicative. I 100% recommend her!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Durham
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with a very flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I love being outdoors and spending time walking, playing, and exploring with dogs. I live on acreage with plenty of open space and private trails where your dog can get lots of exercise and fresh air. I’m happy to walk dogs leashed or unleashed—whatever you prefer and feel most comfortable with. If your dog is more of a couch potato than an athlete, that’s perfectly fine too! I have plenty of experience with older, calm, and low-energy pets and am happy to match whatever pace fits your dog’s personality—whether that’s an adventure walk or just relaxing together at home. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like part of my family and make sure they get the attention and routine they need. Communication is a top priority for me. You’ll receive frequent updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected while you’re away. Please note: I don’t stay overnight at clients’ homes, but I’m happy to offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, and extended daytime visits. I look forward to caring for your furry family member! With a flexible daily schedule, I can give your dog consistent care and companionship instead of rushing in and out. Your pet will always be a priority in my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I am reliable, responsible, follow instructions carefully, and always treat every dog like my own.

“Lark is amazing! It’s pretty cool to see her interact with each dog at her home. She’s so mellow. My pup definitely enjoyed his time with Lark, her daughter and and the rest of the other dogs. Will definitely be booking Lark again ?”
About: Since a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have experience caring for puppies, adults, and seniors. I worked as a veterinary technician for one month (I had a change of heart in career paths!), so I’m confident in administering insulin shots and giving medications. (I also had a senior dog with diabetes that I administered shots to). I’ve walked dogs and dog-sat for several people before joining this app. With two dogs of my own, I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love and attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas - so besides a few hours of school every day, I am free to spend time with your pet! For pets in my clients home, I am available to stay as long as needed and will make sure there is plenty of water, food, playtime, and potty breaks provided!

“Christopher took good care of my dog and cat while I visited the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville. He provided a cool place for my 19 year old cat to relax and 2 sweet dogs for my young cattle dog to play with. I’d definitely use him again when I visit Bentonville.”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was just learning how to walk, i’ve animal sat for my friends and family many times before and always update with photos when your fur baby and I are together 😊 I welcome all animals, big/small, low or high energy! I’ve been apart of the rover community for almost 2 years now and I’m really excited to meet new fur babies! I currently work full time but I work 5 minutes from home so it’s very easy to come and go for my animals and I always come home on my lunch break so dogs can be accommodated for! I have a fenced in yard, hardwood floors in case of accidents and 2 kennels, small/large if needed 😊 animals are welcome on my couch or bed, what’s mine is theirs 😊
About: I have been dog sitting for friends and family for the last few years. With working from home it makes it easy for me to help out when needed. I have house broken 4 puppies and 1 adult that was not house broke when we got him. I’ve had experience with dogs with anxiety, yeast prone and dogs that have allergies. I know how to give shots if needed. We’ve rescued dogs and rehabilitated who were abused and neglected that had severe anxiety and trust issues. He have a larger home with a good sized fenced in yard full of love and fun! Reach out with any questions! I work full time from home Monday thru Friday. I am home the majority of the days my home schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to care for pets anytime of the day. We have 2 dogs, one large one small. We have wood and tiles throughout the home in case of accidents. Our home is 2700 sqft with a decent sized fenced in yard perfect for play time. We have a large patio that we utilize often that is covered with a large fan and plenty of shade. We don’t usually let the pups outside without us being out there.

Also have a cat for 6 years she is also my bestie in her own kitty ways. 😁 I'm a positive thinker who has a huge heart for animals, I believe they are just angels here to protect and love us. I treat them all as such. I would prefer right now not to care take because I have a very small apartment with an older dog and a adult antisocial kitty.
About: Hi, fellow dog moms and dads! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover with two dogs of my own, and I’d love to welcome your pup into my home while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. I work remotely, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will enjoy plenty of potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles throughout the day. I intentionally keep a limited number of boarding dogs so each guest receives individualized attention and care. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I may care for multiple dogs at once, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs simply need a quiet break. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing in a crate for short periods when needed. I also feed dogs separately to help prevent resource guarding and ensure everyone can eat safely and stress-free. Every dog is different, so I tailor enrichment to their personality and energy level, whether that’s fetch, puzzle toys, snuffle mats, frozen treats (with owner approval), or other engaging activities. I have experience caring for brachycephalic breeds (such as English Bulldogs and French Bulldogs) and understand the extra precautions they require regarding heat, breathing, and activity levels. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs, providing slower-paced walks, gentle routines, medication administration when needed, and the extra patience and monitoring they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’m Pet First Aid and CPR certified through the American Red Cross and keep fully stocked pet first aid kits both at home and in my vehicle. ✨ Optional Spa Add-Ons (Boarding Guests) * Bath (short-haired dogs) * Brushing * Teeth brushing * Ear cleaning * Paw balm treatment Just mention your interest when booking, and I’ll send over pricing and details! A few house rules to help every guest have a great stay: * 🐾 Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable around other dogs. * 🐾 Please disclose any history of separation anxiety, resource guarding, escape tendencies, or destructive behaviors so I can determine if my home is the right fit. * 🐾 Dogs must be current on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! ❤️ Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I’m a dog owner myself. I work fully remote, so I’m used to planning my day around potty breaks, walks, feeding times, and check-ins. Because I’m home during the day, I can be responsive with midday drop-ins and walks and communicate quickly if anything comes up. I keep a consistent schedule and plan routes close by so I can be reliable and on time. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Drop-in visits (up to 40 minutes) are perfect for a midday check-in while you’re at work or away. During each visit, I’ll follow your routine and make sure your pup is comfortable and cared for: a potty break, fresh water, feeding if requested, and some playtime/affection. I’ll also do a quick check that doors/gates are secure before I leave. Dog walks (up to 30 minutes) are a dedicated, leash-only walk for exercise and enrichment. I’ll walk at your dog’s pace, allow time for sniff breaks, and prioritize safe leash handling the entire time. After the walk, I’ll make sure your dog is settled with fresh water and I’ll send photo updates and a recap (including potty info). Boarding your fur baby at my home is like summer camp for them! I have a huge fenced in back yard and work from home so I am home majority of the time. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I often care for multiple dogs, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs need a break from one another. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing quietly in a crate for short periods when needed. This allows me to provide a calm, safe, and low-stress environment for every guest. My boarding program is a great fit for dogs who: • Are crate trained • Are house trained • Are friendly with other dogs • Can be left alone for a few hours without excessive barking or anxiety • Are up to date on vaccinations & neutered
About: I have experience in taking care of pets ever since I was 5 years old. I have the most experience with taking care of dogs with feeding, bathing, walking, and training. A pet is a family member and will be treated as such. I work from home every day and am able to freely care for your furry friend throughout the day and attend to their needs as needed. I have 3 kids who also love dogs. I am open all week and will make sure your pet is considered part of the family when taking care of them. I do not have a fenced-in yard but will walk your fur baby daily. We go out 3 times a day every day and have play time or stimulation such as lick mats daily.
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, as well as cats and other pets. I also worked at petland and worked around many kinds of puppies. I am a college student home for the summer so my hours are extremely flexible. I am available daily and able to be with the animals for long periods of time. I live in a house on 3 acres of land with a fenced in backyard and doggy door! I also give lots of loving to all pets!

I create my own hours for research. So otherwise I am normally flexible on time! I love going on walks with dogs, time/distance depending on breed and age. Every dog is different but playtime and enrichment are very important in our home so I’ll do what I can to incorporate that in their lives as well! Same with cats, depending on comfortability!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since college, walking and pet sitting. I have always been reliable to take care of fur babies for my friends and family. I currently work full time, I do come home on my lunch to let the dogs outside and throw the ball around. I have the weekends off to spend time with the animals. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run. I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby busy. Can be crated if needed, we let our dogs free roam the house all day and night so yours is welcome to as well.
About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet! There's nothing like a bright dog face and and a wagging tail or a cat purring and rubbing against my legs! I'm recently retired and have lots of time to spend taking care of your pets. I'm available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings, and holidays. I'm flexible and open to hearing about your pet sitting scheduling needs. I grew up with dogs, but now I'm a cat lady who loves and pampers my little boy, Mr. Kitty. I prepare special food for him, give him lots of attention, and take him for long walks in his cat stroller. I'm an energetic and responsible recently retired hospice nurse. I'll pamper your pets and give them the greatest care. I'll also treat your space with respect and maintain a clean environment in your home.
“Amirah was excellent with Prince booked her last minute due to last minute meetings scheduled for my partner and I. She responded very quickly promptly and took him on a great 30 minute walk they got him extremely tired. We definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve grown up alongside dogs and other animals and helped take care of them since I was young. When I was sixteen, my family adopted our puppy Sal at eight weeks old, and it was my responsibility to take care of him, train him, and love on him. From there, I volunteered at Almost Home animal shelter in Van Buren for two years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and weights, played with them, fed and cared for them, and cleaned out their kennels and bowls. As of now, I’m living away from my family dog since I’m in college, but I’m helping a friend of mine walk and train her newly adopted Cane Corso (she’s a sweetie). I’ve watched dogs for friends and family all through the years, as well. As far as cats go, I’ve loved them since I was a kid, and I adopted one two years ago! His name is Walter, he’s a tabby and the sweetest boy alive, and I love taking care of him, even if he shreds my arms sometimes. Pets need love and patience, and that’s exactly what I have for them. :) I’m currently out of college classes for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I can work with any requests you send me, so long as we have ample time to discuss everything you’re looking for. I can easily adapt to your pet’s regular schedule, including mealtimes, bedtime, medication, if they need to be crated, playtimes, etc. The comfort and happiness of your pet is my first focus.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, monitoring health changes, and providing extra patience and comfort. I also have experience with kittens and young animals, so I’m comfortable with energetic pets who need plenty of attention and playtime. As a biology student pursuing a career working with animals, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, so feeding, exercise, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring their well-being are second nature to me. Because I’m used to balancing multiple responsibilities, I can provide reliable care while maintaining the routines that help pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to behavior and well-being, making sure pets are happy, healthy, and secure while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether caring for a pet in my client’s home or during drop-in visits, I treat every animal with the same patience, respect, and attention that I give my own pets.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have a 70-pound American Pit Bull Terrier, a Corgi, and a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large and small dogs as well as feline friends. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and administering medications, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or care instructions. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or extra patience and attention, I’m here to help. One of my favorite experiences was getting to bring a client’s dog to their wedding so they could be part of their special day. I love helping families create memories with their pets and am always happy to go the extra mile whenever I can! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and providing plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re back home. I’m a nanny, which means I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m also a college student taking just six credit hours this semester, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I understand the importance of not overbooking myself, so I only accept bookings that allow me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. If I’m not nannying, in class, or spending time with my own pets, you’ll probably find me visiting one of my furry clients! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, feeding, playing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and strive to make every visit as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

My dog goes out at least 5 times a day and he is well taken care of. Like I said I have a dog, I really love and care about him like family. In your home I will be willing to do the same by taking out your dog!
About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.
“Jocelyn is amazing!! I work 12-13 hour shifts and she takes snowball in between. Snowball loves her and her little girl and it’s so nice knowing my baby is in good hands!!! If you want a loving, caring, person to take your fur baby….. she is the one!!! We love her!”
“Kindell is a badass with bigger dogs. She came early in the morning and took care of my pittie-boxer with ease. She responded so quickly when I had a question about his behavior half way through the week! She even did a free meet and greet a few days before her contracted days to make sure my boy was comfortable and she knew where and how my normal walks went. She always sent pictures and fed him! I loved being able to get the reports each day and watch their bond grow too! Would hire her services for any vacation coming up!”

About: I have always been a dog lover. My husband and I have have dogs for our entire marriage. 22yrs!! They are such a part of the family!!! I'm a stay at home Mom. I'm at the house most all of the day. Always available for potty breaks, walks, and snuggles ❤️ 💕 I am always diligent on making sure leashes and harness are on and secure. All doors and gates are always double checked to make sure they're locked.
About: I have 3 cats of my own, and I love all kinds of animals! I have always walked dogs for friends and family, and I am always happy to help take care of pets. I have a part-time job, but I usually only work Thursday-Sunday. I am available on any day of the week, I will just have to work around my work schedule! I do my best to provide the best love and care to all animals that I work with. I will strictly follow any schedules and instructions given to me, and I will always be respectful when in a customer's home.

“Jocelyn and her family were wonderful with my sweet boy Hamilton. Pictures and updates were much appreciated and they treated him like he was one of their own sweet dogs. We loved them so much we’ve booked our next stay:) Thank you for spoiling my baby:)”
“Lark has watched Kuba 3 times. She sends us pictures while she has him which is amazing. When we pull up Kuba gets excited. It makes us happy that we can leave our baby to play and be well taken care of.”
“They were great! Very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We got pictures and videos daily! Our pitbull got along nicely with their other dogs and seemed to have a great time! We didn't worry about anything and will absolutely be using them again!”
“Absolutely the best guy! Pony loved him, we are so thankful we were able to leave for a week and know he was well loved and taken care of by Chase!! Updates with pictures were given everyday. Thank you so much!!!!!!”
“I didn’t expect my cat to do well with boarding. She’s a very anxious creature. A scaredy cat in the truest sense! Christopher and Jennie did everything in their power to make her feel at home, and I know they did a good job because she bounced back very quickly once we got back home, which has never happened with other boardings! She’s been prone to hiding for days after past experiences, but that didn’t happen here. Thanks for taking care of my best friend, guys. She may not have been super receptive to it, but I know she appreciated you regardless.”
“Alicen was AMAZING with Dan!! Helped us out in a last minute Hail Mary on a Holiday weekend as well!! Could never recommend someone more! Danny played so well with her 2 pups and Alicen kept us very well updated with pictures!!”
“Ashlee was fantastic. She watched our dogs over memorial day weekend. She was attentive, asked questions about their care, and was open to any concerns/questions I had. She sent me pictures all weekend and updated me on how they were doing!! And she was very flexible when our flight got delayed to come pick them up. Our pups were happy and clean when we picked them up! I highly recommend Ashlee!!!!”

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life, I grew up with 15 dogs on 3 acres. I have never not owned a dog with my senior pit coming up on 17 years with me. Currently home full time most days of the week, kids will be in school full time. I can work around your schedule & needs for pick-up, drop-off or drop ins. I live on 5 acres away from all main streets and a private drive for plenty of running space. I have converted my shed into a climate controlled dog house that has a fenced in area for the runners but if you prefer them to be inside I have plenty of space.
