“Bonnie was everything we could ask for in a dog sitter. She sent updates and photos daily so we knew they were happy and having fun. They had a large area to explore and play outside and were loved and snuggled inside. We will be using her again soon! Thank you, Bonnie!”
“It was such a relief to know we were leaving our buddy Stark in good hands while out of town for a week during Thanksgiving. Sweet family - I’m sure Stark enjoyed all the attention. It sounds like he got his steps in, too. We received daily updates and photos, which was greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!”
“Samantha & her family cared for Rosie so well, like she was part of the family! Rosie has a lot of energy and their family and their own dog have Rosie so much attention and opportunity to play! They were so kind and great with communication and flexibility. Rosie will miss her puppy friend Jetta and their family! Would definitely recommend:)”
“We love Scout! She took great care of our pup during her stay and sent us daily photos of her having a great time. We are so glad we found such a reliable, caring home to care for our dog while we were out of town. We can’t wait to use her again! :)”
“Absolutely great experience! Received daily photos and videos of my big boy Teddy living his best life. This was my first time using this service and I was 100% satisfied. I highly recommend Madison and Isiah! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you again! ❤️”
“Ranee is fabulous. She treats our puppy just like she is her own. I never worry when we need to leave her with Ranee. I also like that she shares lots of pics while we are gone...very comforting.”
“We feel so good leaving Jack with Jennifer for any amount of time. He loves going. She keeps us posted on his day and how he is doing, and we love the pictures. Jennifer is the best!”
“Duke loved his stay with Hannah!! She kept us updated during our whole vacation and he looked so happy. We felt comfortable knowing he was in great hands!! 10/10 recommended!!”
“We were very happy with Chewie’s care during our trip. Vita took him on daily walks & gave him all the snuggles. She sent us picture and video updates each day, which we really appreciated! We would use her services again.”
“Mr. Jackie is literally the BEST!! This was the first time that I left my 6 year old dog with someone that isn’t family. This time all my family was traveling together and I’m so glad we found Jackie. Cami is an anxious dog to say the least, and Mr. Jackie (along with his family and friends) treated Cami like family. They had so much patience for her and made her feel as comfortable as possible during the two weeks. We LOVE the daily updates her provides with photos and videos! If he’ll take us, we’ll go to him every time!”
“My babies loved being with Amber, usually they’ don’t latch on to others especially Delilah. I saw the love in every photo Amber sent. They know her so we’ll always choose Amber.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Lesa! She took our Zeus on short notice and went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable!! Sent us pictures as much as we wanted! Zeus has major separation anxiety and she allowed him to sleep where ever he was comfortable, including in her bed. He loved the other dogs and they are very good at introducing visitors to their own dogs. Will absolutely use Lesa again!!! Thank you so very much!!'”
“This was my first time using Rover since my Vet was booked, I came across Julissa and she was very flexible with my last minute needs and flexible with my drop off and pick up times. She provided updates as needed along with photos of playtime, walks and was very responsive when I wanted to check in on my pup. Hopefully she will let us come back if needed! 😊”
“Christina was very flexible with my constantly changing scheduled. She was very professional and has an expert level of knowledge when it comes to dogs and dog training. I would suggest her to all my closest friends. She was great ! I will most definitely book her in the future , If I could give more stars I would !”

About: I'm a relatively new cat owner, but I've been around cats all my life, either from taking care of my family's cats, my friends or the stray cats I find just out and about. No matter what, regardless of what kind of cat you have, you can trust that I will love and care for them just as much as you!

“Renee was so good with my cat. She went above and beyond in every area. She updated us regularly and made sure that our cat was well-cared for and happy.

About: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.
About: I bring real hands-on experience to every pet I care for — not just love, but knowledge: 6 years caring for cats — from playful kittens to senior cats who need medication and gentle routines. I understand body language, behavioral changes, dietary needs, and creating a calm, cozy environment. 5 years with bearded dragons — including proper temperature/humidity care, fresh salads, tank cleaning, supplements, and handling. I’m very comfortable with reptiles and their day-to-day needs. Comfortable with multiple pets, feeding schedules, and custom routines. I’ve also worked with pets needing medication, vet check-ins, and anxiety support — I always follow instructions carefully! Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with experience, patience, and daily check-ins 💛 Pet care is built right into my daily schedule — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I plan around. Every morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and check-ins with my own pets, so I’m already in “pet parent mode” before the day begins. Here’s how I structure my routine: Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, or tank checks for my bearded dragons. I review the schedule for the day and confirm visits/walks. Midday: Drop-in visits, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment/playtime. Evening: Final check-ins, dinner feeding, and overnight care if scheduled. Flexible scheduling – I adjust my day depending on each pet’s routine so they receive care when they’re used to it, not just when it’s convenient. Since I already care for my own animals daily, adding your pet into my schedule feels natural. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine and keep communication open with updates, photos, and check-ins — no pet ever feels forgotten or rushed. 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home: I follow your routine exactly — food times, treats, walks, meds, etc. I maintain your pet’s comfort & stability by keeping everything familiar Potty breaks / litter box cleaning Playtime and enrichment activities Fresh water at every visit Can administer medication if needed Clean-up included — no mess left behind Check-ins after each visit so you know how they’re doing --- 🐶 No Matter Where They Are — They’re Treated Like Family I provide love, patience, and care as if they were my own animals. Every visit or stay includes: Photo/video updates Routine check-ins Respect for boundaries & personalities Calm energy for anxious or rescue pets Safety first — always

“What can I say? Anastasiia won my cat, Julie's heart over. Julie does not like people, traveling or being alone so you can imagine the predicament. During our first meeting, Anastasiia walked in and Julie investigated, and let her be petted, immediately. I knew at that point. During my trip, Anastasiia sent updates and pictures of Julie playing and basking outside. I didn't have to worry about what was happening at home.

“My 16 year old yorkie was in good hands with Samantha & Matthew B. I appreciate all the Rover sitters for opening their homes and hearts to help care for other's dogs. I had traveled to another state for my grandson's graduation and needed a sitter while I attended the ceremony. The invitation was last minute, but Samantha & Matthew responded quickly. Anyone with a beloved family pet understands what a relief it is to have a way to find good people care for their pet while they are traveling. Thank you for taking care of my dog.”

I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!
About: I've taken care of dogs for family and friends for my whole life. I also worked as a dog groomer. I am trained to see emergencies in dogs and understand their body language and boundaries to keep us both safe. I am currently unemployed so I can be with your pets at any time. I do have pets myself I will be checking in on! I can crate your dog if needed, keep them leashed or in your yard. Same with cats. I'll work with you and the animal to keep them safe and happy.
About: I’ve always loved animals growing up and so does my family, thats why I was the one to feed, bathe, and walk their pups over the years. I’m currently enrolled in an online real estate course, I work my study hours around walks, check-ins and pet sittings so I am available when you need me. I like to make every pet feel comfortable and safe by create a bond with them, making sure they have water, food, and physical exercise!
About: I have extensive experience in pet care, specializing in dog sitting and dog walking. I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. My dog-sitting experience includes feeding, administering medications if needed, and providing a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. As a dog walker, I prioritize exercise and mental stimulation, tailoring walks to each dog’s energy level and needs. I am attentive to their behavior, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. My passion for animals and responsible approach make me a reliable and caring pet caregiver. Pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine by scheduling dog walking and sitting around my other responsibilities. I can set aside specific time slots each day for dog walks, ensuring that each pet gets the exercise and attention they need. For dog sitting, I can plan my schedule in advance to accommodate overnight stays or extended care, making sure I provide a safe and comfortable environment for the dogs. By balancing my commitments and being organized, I can efficiently manage pet care while still having time for personal tasks. Prioritizing consistency and flexibility allows me to provide reliable and loving care for every pet I look after. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to keep the pet’s routine consistent. I provide companionship, regular walks, feeding, and any special care required, such as administering medication or grooming. I also ensure the home stays clean and secure, giving pet owners peace of mind while they are away. Whether in my home or theirs, my priority is to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care.
About: I feel a strong connection to animals. & really enjoy spending time with them & caring for them. Seeing a pet happy, makes me happy also. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule & would like the opportunity to help some clients on a regular basis if they have the need for a routine. I do believe in keeping pets safe. I don’t allow any pet I am caring for to walk off leash, unless we are in a safe fenced area.

“Bonnie was everything we could ask for in a dog sitter. She sent updates and photos daily so we knew they were happy and having fun. They had a large area to explore and play outside and were loved and snuggled inside. We will be using her again soon! Thank you, Bonnie!”
“It was such a relief to know we were leaving our buddy Stark in good hands while out of town for a week during Thanksgiving. Sweet family - I’m sure Stark enjoyed all the attention. It sounds like he got his steps in, too. We received daily updates and photos, which was greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!”
“Samantha & her family cared for Rosie so well, like she was part of the family! Rosie has a lot of energy and their family and their own dog have Rosie so much attention and opportunity to play! They were so kind and great with communication and flexibility. Rosie will miss her puppy friend Jetta and their family! Would definitely recommend:)”
“We love Scout! She took great care of our pup during her stay and sent us daily photos of her having a great time. We are so glad we found such a reliable, caring home to care for our dog while we were out of town. We can’t wait to use her again! :)”
“We feel so good leaving Jack with Jennifer for any amount of time. He loves going. She keeps us posted on his day and how he is doing, and we love the pictures. Jennifer is the best!”
“Duke loved his stay with Hannah!! She kept us updated during our whole vacation and he looked so happy. We felt comfortable knowing he was in great hands!! 10/10 recommended!!”
“Mr. Jackie is literally the BEST!! This was the first time that I left my 6 year old dog with someone that isn’t family. This time all my family was traveling together and I’m so glad we found Jackie. Cami is an anxious dog to say the least, and Mr. Jackie (along with his family and friends) treated Cami like family. They had so much patience for her and made her feel as comfortable as possible during the two weeks. We LOVE the daily updates her provides with photos and videos! If he’ll take us, we’ll go to him every time!”
“My babies loved being with Amber, usually they’ don’t latch on to others especially Delilah. I saw the love in every photo Amber sent. They know her so we’ll always choose Amber.”
“This was my first time using Rover since my Vet was booked, I came across Julissa and she was very flexible with my last minute needs and flexible with my drop off and pick up times. She provided updates as needed along with photos of playtime, walks and was very responsive when I wanted to check in on my pup. Hopefully she will let us come back if needed! 😊”
“Christina was very flexible with my constantly changing scheduled. She was very professional and has an expert level of knowledge when it comes to dogs and dog training. I would suggest her to all my closest friends. She was great ! I will most definitely book her in the future , If I could give more stars I would !”
“Mandy is awesome! She kept me updated daily and sent tons of pictures. My dog is super picky and a certified lap dog but she didn’t mind at all. It was a 30 minute drive for me but well worth it, this family is amazing! Thank you Mandy. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Maru was so wonderful and sweet to my dog, Titan. She made sure he was comfortable and sent lots of updates and photos. With 3 dogs herself she is obviously a big dog lover. I felt at ease leaving Titan with Maru and would book with her again in the future.”
“I cannot leave enough positive feedback for Madi! She’s an excellent person to watch your pups while you’re away & even work in it as a profession too. You can’t ask for much more. From the meet & greet, I knew my dogs would be in the best of hands. Madi watched my Aussie & Swiss Shepherd while I was abroad for a couple of weeks. She sent me updates every 3-5 days with pictures included. What’s more, I knew my pups would be well taken care of, but didn’t expect this level of care & excellence! Madi walked them regularly, gave them treats, & even brushed/cleaned them too. It’s far more than I expected & appreciated it immensely. Shes quick to respond, & understanding if you’re wanting to check in with multiple folks & options. I’ll be using her again anytime I’m away & need someone to look after my dogs & you should consider her as well!”
“Francisca was amazing. We traveled from Memphis, TN to Hot Springs AR. To enjoy a day at the waterpark. She was very kind enough to meet us to pick up our fur babies to help us save time and gas. Thank you so much and I hope we criss paths again!”
