“My wife and I used Diana to watch our dog Molly for a week. This was Molly’s first time away from home and with the videos and text updates we are totally impressed with Diana and we will definitely use her again and would recommend Diana to anyone. Molly adjusted very quickly with Diana and appeared completely relaxed in the videos.”
“Kelly and Kris were simply wonderful in taking care of Posey. She got lots of play time as well as time to relax and just chill, which she likes due to her being 10 years old. We also got lots of pictures and videos, which really eased our anxiety about leaving her. I really think she wanted to stay longer. We highly recommended Kelly and Kris.”

I was very happy to see that. I do recommend her for your pet. I hope to use her again in the near future as well. Thank you!”
“Great experience for our first visit! We were very pleased with the overnight stay for our two pups. Amberae is quick to respond every time I’ve messaged her. She also sent some pictures throughout the stay and that was much appreciated! She and her husband are both animal lovers, you can just tell.”
“Dogs Were Happy When We Got Them Back & We Received Updates, Photos, & Videos While We Were Gone. We Had A Great Experience & Will Definitely Use Ava & Family Again!!!”
“Jasmine has been incredible to work with and very accomodating! Mr. T and Moon (indoor cats) needed a safe place to stay while we had movers in and out of the house, and Jasmine took great care in making sure they felt safe and comfortable. She kept us well informed of how the cats were doing, 100/10 highly recommend!”

“Kim took care of our cat for 2 weeks while we were out of town. After our meet and greet, I was comfortable knowing that she would take great care of our cat and I didn't worry about having her come to my home to do so. She was punctual, honest, efficient, and caring. I enjoyed the pictures and a short note she sent each day letting me know how our kitty was getting along. She was also flexible with times as we had to make changes to our initial schedule. I mistakenly scheduled her for weekly drop in visits rather than a two week period of time, so I had to 'cancel' that type of scheduling when we returned. I highly recommend Kim.”
“Shanna was a great sitter! Reliable, understanding, and very helpful. It was the first time we had ever left our cat and he was not on his best behavior. That being said, he was in great hands with Shanna due to her experience and patience. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high-quality sitter”
“Absolutely great having Kylee take care of our cat. You can tell she really loves and cares for animals and it showed. She went above and beyond in her service and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Sasha did a wonderful job of taking care of our cat, Mia. She instantly had a good rapport upon meeting and kept us well-informed with excellent photos and reports daily. Highly recommend. Thanks so much for keeping our minds at ease while we were away.”
“Cris was fantastic! Professional, caring and attentive. She bought Bon-bon toys, sent me pics of them playing together and it was wonderful to know my treasured pet (family member) was in such good care while I was away. Thank you Cris and you’ll be our first call in the future 😻😊”
“Joann was so detailed in her drop ins, and took such good care of my fur baby. I could see how much he loves her. She sent lots of pictures every visit, and babied him like I do. This was a last minute booking over Christmas, and she was even left 2 Christmas photos of him. She will be the one I leave my baby with as long as she is with Rover!”
About: I've had 7 cats over my lifetime while also working professionally with cats since 2016 in my role as a volunteer and foster coordinator at a large animal rescue. It was here that I learned to bottle feed, body language and temperaments, general care, and medical care for the cats. It was working with the rescue that inspired me to go back to school for veterinary nursing where I further learned how to not only care for but what to look for with symptoms of illness and what to do in emergencies. #ilovecats
“Anne and Joaquin took great care of our kitty, Ash! We were gone for two weeks so it was very comforting to know that they were with Ash. We chose the house sitting option because Ash gets really lonely without us. Anne and Joaquin picked up things before they left and we were pleased with their services! Thanks!”
“Joel provided excellent care and nuturing to our two cats and lizard. He always kept in daily contact with detailed messages and photos. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would highly recommend his services! He has an excellent heart for pets!”

I take pet safety very seriously and always ensure that all doors and gates are securely closed and locked. If the home has a designated dog door, I will follow the owner’s instructions regarding the pet’s access to the backyard, allowing them to safely come and go as permitted.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Blackwater
“We are so happy with Kerri and Clint. Our dogs have never been left before with anyone. One was bashful but our poodle fit right in and enjoyed playing with the other dogs. If we are in the area again we will surely contact Rover and set up with Kerri and Clint.”
“Megan was great with Mac. Ive only had him a few weeks, so I wasnt sure how he would do at daycare, but Megan has a real way with dogs. Everything went well and Mac got to get some exposure to kids and other dogs.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were very pleased with Kelly and Kris! Their dog was so sweet and gentle and got along very well with my girl. They provided pictures and updates, and were very responsive!”
“Brittany is so amazing. She welcomed Winnie and loved her from the beginning. She embraces her puppy side. Her dogs at home are the perfect match. They all swim together. When Winnie gets home she is ready for rest because she had so much fun at Brittany’s house.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very intuitive when it comes to animals and pay close attention to their body language and social cues so I can recognize what they need—whether that’s playtime, affection, a potty break, or simply a little space to feel comfortable. I’m caring, loyal, outgoing, and patient. One thing I’m especially proud of is my ability to connect with pets who may be shy, nervous, or unsure around new people. I never force interaction. I allow pets to come to me on their own terms and build trust at their pace. I’ve had pet parents surprised by how quickly their normally hesitant pets warm up to me! My home is a calm, quiet, and safe environment where your pet can relax and feel comfortable. I believe in healthy boundaries, which is why pets are kept out of my kitchen for their safety and to prevent them from getting into anything that may accidentally fall on the floor. I also never give pets human food and will follow the feeding schedule and instructions you provide. And there is definitely room for fun! 🐾 I’m happy to take your pup for walks, let them enjoy my safe backyard, snuggle with them on the couch, or get right down on the floor and play at their level. Sometimes that means I’m rolling around on the floor right along with them! I can also administer medications when needed and will carefully follow your instructions. I never use force with an animal and always treat each pet as an individual. My goal is simple: to give your pet a safe, loving, comfortable place where they receive the attention, affection, playtime, and care they deserve while you’re away. ❤️ I work full-time from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Being home throughout the day allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, outdoor time, playtime, and lots of love and snuggles. I’m able to keep a close eye on the pets in my care and follow their normal feeding, medication, and daily routines as closely as possible. I enjoy having animals around while I work, and caring for them has become a natural and enjoyable part of my everyday life. My schedule also gives me flexibility for boarding, doggy daycare, drop-ins, and walks. I have a secure, fenced backyard where your pup can enjoy supervised outdoor time. Fresh water is always available, and I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. From time to time, I may have other friendly dogs boarding with me, allowing for companionship and play when appropriate.

She was very responsive, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. It was obvious our dog was well cared for and happy the whole time. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Copper has had a great time staying with Antonia D. He was tuckered out when I got him home. If anyone needs a day or a week for their pet, this is where they should consider it—a great experience and always very friendly.”
About: I have always loved all animals. I have had dogs since I was little and have 1 dog now, a Teacup Chihuahua. I have had other pets such as bunnies, a Ball python, a raccoon, lizards and fish. I believe dogs are family and talk to them like they understand me...because of course they do! :) I’ll treat your dogs like family too and we will have a great time playing or taking a walk! I’m excited to meet your pets and give them the same attention that I give my own sweet fur babies. I do work full time from home so I’m here all day with them. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am currently working full time from home, but I’m available for drop ins at your home after 4 pm and weekends and I can keep your sweet babies at my home and they will be treated as my own. Your doggies will be cared for as if they were mine. We play, they get fed, belly rubs and ear scratches are also on the agenda. I can give them medications if needed.
About: I grew up around animals and have loved and cared for them all of my life including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, snakes, and a mini pig named Tucker! I can't imagine life without them. (Have exotic pets, I'm cool with that too!) I am responsible, reliable and dependable. I will follow all special instructions for each pet in my care. I will love and care for your fur babies just like my own, using care and caution when pet sitting within your home to keep your pets happy in their own safe environment. You are always welcome to check in with me to see how your pets are doing each day. I hope to meet you and your furry family soon so you can take time away with peace of mind that they are well taken care of!

“I was so nervous leaving my pup to a stranger but I couldn’t be any more happy with James and his family watching over my pup!

About: Hello all! My name is Morgan and I am a certified veterinary technician with a degree in veterinary technology and extensive experience caring for pets of all kinds.

About: We've been caring for pets since we were both about 5 years old, with Gary's grandparents owning a farm & ranch in Montana growing up. Karen's family bred poodles since she was born. We're good at training puppies, and adult dogs as well. We love playing fetch much of the day with our Tilly and will do what your pet loves as well! We've cared for HUGE birds, tiny birds, chickens, cats, dogs large and small, rabbits, cattle, horses and pigs. We have also administered various types of medicine and cared for different types of infections, teaching owners as well. We love to snuggle with them and give them lots of attention! I, Karen, am used to cooking holistic meals for our dog and will care for your pet according to your instructions as well. We enjoy walking them, swimming with them and petting them often. They deserve it! They rely on us for their WHOLE well-being. Consistency is so important for animals so we will respect and follow the plans you lay out for them. We can also gather mail, water plants, do housekeeping, organization, gardening and more. Gary is a great handyman should the need arise during a sit. He maintains our pool and irrigation systems and makes any repairs needed. We're truly a great team!❤️ This is our sole work so available most of the time! Of course it depends on the type of care you need and if it works along with another sit. For example, we could walk your dog daily and have an overnight sit that allows for a short leave for that. We are very attentive, loving and kind! Our goldendoodle Tilly is on a nice schedule for exercise, eating, supplements and only healthy treats. We keep her clean and always look her over for any wounds and whatnot. We keep a clean home with uplifting music for pets. Also, we're very cognizant of pet signals, like needing to go potty, play, snack, snuggle and wanting general attention. It's one of those things that you get blessed by for just BEING a blessing to them!💛

Molly adjusted very quickly with Diana and appeared completely relaxed in the videos.”
“Kelly and Kris were simply wonderful in taking care of Posey. She got lots of play time as well as time to relax and just chill, which she likes due to her being 10 years old. We also got lots of pictures and videos, which really eased our anxiety about leaving her. I really think she wanted to stay longer. We highly recommended Kelly and Kris.”
“Great experience for our first visit! We were very pleased with the overnight stay for our two pups. Amberae is quick to respond every time I’ve messaged her. She also sent some pictures throughout the stay and that was much appreciated! She and her husband are both animal lovers, you can just tell.”
“Krysten did an amazing job watching my 3 best friends while I was out of town for a week. She sent the perfect amount of pics and updates leaving me with no doubt my pups were in great care. They all got plenty of exercise and looked like they had a great time with her family. We will definitely use Krysten as a sitter again!”
“Dogs Were Happy When We Got Them Back & We Received Updates, Photos, & Videos While We Were Gone. We Had A Great Experience & Will Definitely Use Ava & Family Again!!!”
“Jasmine has been incredible to work with and very accomodating! Mr. T and Moon (indoor cats) needed a safe place to stay while we had movers in and out of the house, and Jasmine took great care in making sure they felt safe and comfortable. She kept us well informed of how the cats were doing, 100/10 highly recommend!”
“Faith was so helpful and attentive for our older dog! We felt so relieved we knew she was in good hands while we were away. Very prompt communication which I appreciated so much!”
“Emma was super amazing. Very stress free vacation knowing our dog was well taken care of. Even dropped our dog off After we got back from an 8 hour drive. We will definitely be using Emma again!”
“We booked a bit longer stay for our dog than we have before. I hate leaving him when we travel! Jaclyn and William were so good to work with and I knew our dog was in good hands!! They kept in touch and sent pictures which I appreciated! I love having him in their home being loved on every day rather than a dog kennel. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Everything we could have hoped for and more. Our one-year old, high energy boy is worn out and very happy after spending 3 days with Carrie. She sent us pictures and updates regularly and has been nothing but pleasant and reliable. We feel so lucky to have found her. Game changer.”
“Alyssa and her kids were so sweet to our pups! We are so happy to have found a pet sitter we can trust to keep our dogs happy and safe while we are away. We would definitely rebook with Alyssa!”
“Elena was absolutely perfect for my puppy! She was so communicative, flexible, understanding, prepared, welcoming, and loving. I will be using her services every time (given availability) from now on. She sends an appropriate amount of updates and pictures/videos which I appreciated so much! If I could recommend her to anyone in the area, I absolutely will!”
“Ronnie loves the Davis family she knows where she’s going as soon as we get to the house. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog there. My puppy girl always comes back happy. I love the communication the professionalism and the videos. We will be back ❤️”
“Jenni was fantastic to work with and very accommodating. She has a very structured and thorough approach ensuring your pet has a great time at their second home!”
“Jenni was great! She was sweet, professional and welcoming. She took care of my dog as if it was her own. She kept me informed with pictures and messages of how my doggie's day was going. I would recommend her for pet care any day.”
