Personalized care for your dog or cat - Nelson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Nelson
“After my first sitter canceled, Lauren jumped right on it to watch my 4 month old puppy over Christmas. Lauren and Athena were the absolute best for Bindi! They sent lots of picture updates, had fun adventures, and I felt completely at ease with leaving her over the holidays. So amazing and so thankful. Can’t wait to book again!”
“Sydny and Atiana were really excellent. The attention to detail, the communication, and the care for my dog were outstanding. This was our first time boarding with them and I will definetley be using them again. I feel comfortable with leaving my girl with them and feel she is in good hands when I need to be away. Thanks to them both for their excellent service!!!!”
“Michelle and her husband are wonderful. They helped me out in a pinch and more importantly, they are very responsible and caring dog handlers. They are great people and I felt very comfortable with them taking good care of my little guy.”
“Elizabeth did such a wonderful job taking care of our pup this past weekend while we were away for my birthday. Our pup Nala hasn’t been to a sitter 6 months, and was having a hard time adjusting to being in a new environment away from us, but Elizabeth reassured us that she was being showered with love and that gave us tons of peace of mind! She sent lots of photos throughout the duration of Nala’s stay who grew very close to Elizabeth and found a great sense of comfort in her! We’re grateful to Elizabeth for deeply caring for our pup and keeping us in the loop, and would recommend her to anyone we know! Thanks again!”
“Thanks for taking such great care of Clancy again Lara. I love all the photos and videos you supply. It is such a comfort knowing he’s having as good a time as we are! See you the next time we plan a get away.”
“Leslie was really great with my 2 fur babies. They were well taken care of and loved on. She did a great job sending me updates with very cute pictures! If I need a dog sitter I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Andreah is GREAT. She took care of my Mini Schnauzer Sosa for 4 nights. Very accommodating, messages back quickly, gave us updates throughout his stay and our Sosa had a great time. Highly recommend!!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the experience Cedar and I had with Christie and Daniel. From the moment I dropped Cedar off, I felt completely at ease. They took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his routine, personality, and preferences, and it was clear right away that they genuinely love and understand dogs. Throughout Cedar’s stay, I received regular updates, pictures, and even a few sweet videos that showed just how comfortable and happy he was. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and getting plenty of attention made it so much easier to be away from him. When I picked him up, they had given him a bath and he clearly had a great time. I could tell he felt safe and well cared for—he even gave a little tail wag goodbye, which says it all! I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and kind boarder for Cedar. I won’t hesitate to bring him back the next time I travel. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had English bulldogs for 10 years. I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I can administer most meds with instructions. I’ll care for your dog as if it were my own and she’s spoiled! I work full-time but mostly remote, so I’m home a lot. I can ensure your dog’s needs are met on a daily basis, they’re the best companions. I have a fenced yard and a small area with turf for potty breaks. I live near a dog park and can take them there, weather permitting. I consider dogs a part of the household so they’re allowed everywhere but I’ll also follow your lead if you have specific instructions.
“Kallie is wonderful! Brought attention to something that was bothering Molly during the stay and was thoughtful! Hope to be able to keep booking Kallie in the future!”
“Kaitlin is an amazing sitter, was in peace leaving my puppy for a weekend with her. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again. She knows how to take care of animals and its shows that she loves doing it with her husband and 2 own dogs.”
“Lauren was so great with Tuna and very accommodating! My sitter went MIA when I showed up to drop Tuna off, so I needed a last minute Rover and Lauren answered my request right away - The rest is history and I couldn’t haven been happier with my choice for a sitter for Tuna! My cat was well taken care of and her dog, Millie, was sweet with Tuna. Would highly recommend!!”
“Richard & his wife did a terrific job taking care of Bella. It was the first time we’d been away from her since we adopted her. They took her for walks, played with her and she was a happy girl. We will definitely use them again whenever we are away from home. Thanks so much!”
“We love Beth! She is a super prompt communicator and loves our dogs so well. We feel confident leaving the dogs with her, knowing full well they will be cared for.”
“Always fantastic experience booking with Ron. We are so grateful he was able to accommodate our schedule as well when we needed to add a couple extra days. Our Pedro loves him and his dogs!”
“Jess was responsive, kind, and made my dog feel comfortable right away. She has a very nice backyard, and she and her family were very caring :) We also loved the updates and photos, they really gave us peace of mind while we were away! My puppy was happy and well cared for, and we’d definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!! Thank you, Jess!!”
“This was our second time with Brynna and her sweet pup Banks. Our little Coco had the best time with them. Brynna shared pictures and videos and she shared fun snippets of what they were up to over the three days together. We LOVE having Coco with them - we know she is so well cared for and probably has more fun at their house than at ours. Can't wait to book with her again! Thank you Brynna!”
“This husband-and-wife team is absolutely amazing — responsible, loving, and caring. They treated our dog like their own and sent regular photo updates during the stay, which gave us such peace of mind. Their sweet dog Jaxson even showed ours how to use the doggie door! They were so thoughtful and even gave us a slow-feeding bowl to take home. We’ll definitely use them again on our next trip. Highly recommend!”

“I’m so appreciative of them for pet sitting my cat while I was out of town. I could not recommend their services more to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet. They’re attentive, communicative, and well organized. I look forward to hopefully working with them again :-)”
About: Cats have a way of making you earn their trust—and we’re perfectly happy to let them set the pace. As a mother-daughter pet care team, we provide dependable, in-home care that allows your cat to stay where they’re most comfortable: in their own home, surrounded by their familiar smells, favorite hiding spots, and normal routine. We’re comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens and social attention-seekers to independent seniors and shy cats who prefer to observe us from across the room. We understand that great cat care isn’t about forcing interaction. It’s about learning their personality, respecting their boundaries, and giving them the kind of attention they actually enjoy. During visits, we can handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, medications, and the little details that keep your cat’s routine consistent. We’re also comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications and following detailed care instructions for senior cats or pets with additional needs. Communication is a big priority for us. You’ll receive plenty of photos and updates so you know how your cat is eating, behaving, and spending their time while you’re away. And yes—we’ll happily send you photographic evidence when the cat who supposedly “doesn’t like strangers” decides we’re acceptable. My mom primarily handles overnight stays, while I focus on drop-ins and daytime care, giving us flexibility to accommodate different schedules and routines. Whether your cat greets us at the door, demands immediate lap privileges, or spends the first three visits judging us from underneath the bed, they’ll receive patient, attentive care at their own pace. We’d love to meet your favorite little house lion!
“Sky was absolutely amazing with my 3 cats. They loved her! She sent pictures and updates at every visit and always arrived in a timely manner for my kitties. Communication was amazing and I will definitely be rebooking Sky in the future.”
“Kylee D did a great job house and kitty sitting while we were out of town for a week. She was responsive and gave us lots of updates while we were gone. We would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Lauren is the best! She took great care of our kitties, checked in with lots of cute pictures every day, and made us feel that our babies were in really great hands. We can only recommend her!”
“I’ve had a couple of bad experiences using Rover in the past with boarding in someone else’s home so I decided to give drop in visits a try. Robert was very good at communicating with us and made sure our dog was well cared for during the few days we were gone. He was very trustworthy and I would seek him out in the future.”
“Ginger T and Bryan O did a terrific job doing drop-on visits for our cat, George! Because of them, we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our baby boy was in good hands! Tom & Cece”
“Kate & Tim were wonderful with our 17 year old cat while we were away. They were able to work with his special meals and medications. They were very prompt with their twice daily visits and soon became friends with our timid cat. I would highly recommend them!”
About: My name is Katie and I am a doctoral student studying Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I am hoping to start up a non-profit senior dog rescue sanctuary in the near future. I have loved dogs since I was a baby. I grew up with all kind of dogs from Irish Setter to Gordon Settler to Lab to Cocker Spaniels. Now I’m raising 5 years old border collie and 3 years old black lab. I am usually free in late afternoons, evenings and on the weekends. I do also work from home and can adjust my schedule a little bit if you need me during the day. When I’m not in school or working, I enjoys reading, walking and geeking out at the museums. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions. I look forward to hear from you! During the weekdays, I usually take dogs out for potty every two to three hours and I would take them out for a walk in morning, during lunch break, and in evening. I usually give two meals a day (morning and evening) and set a time aside to play with them. I live in a house and have two friendly dogs that can play with your puppy. I also have a crate in case your dog needs to be crated. My home also has a huge backyard for the dogs to play in. For safety reasons, I prefer to supervise the dogs while they are in the backyard.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Nelson
“Leslie was great with our 7 month old lab. She provided post-surgery care and made sure Sadie didn’t harm her stitches. She took her out for plenty of walks, shared lots of pictures, and was very thorough. Sadie was exhausted every night from playing and walking. I would highly recommend Leslie and will certainly use her services again in the future.”
About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have one dog, but have almost always had cats and I also had bunnies growing up. I trained my own dog when she was a puppy. I work from home so I have a ton of availability and will spend most of your pet’s stay at home with them. I am open to sitting any type of pet and can’t wait for myself and my dog Millie to meet your furbaby! I work from home so I often have an open schedule and love to be home, but also love to be outside with my dog. I take her everywhere I can and would be happy to have your pet join us! I have a backyard and a few grassy/park areas nearby that I take my dog to every day. I take her out multiple times a day for potty and walks.
About: I am Deaf and rely on ASL to communicate. I am an expert at reading body language both in people & animals. I've grown up with many different animals, mostly dogs. I had my own dog starting at age 8. I've taken care of dogs personally and professionally since then. I'd go dogsit neighbors' dogs at their houses and have family/friends' dogs at my house. I walked dogs for two years before COVID happened. I am a work-at-home mom with three kids (9 years old to an infant) and two pups. I am available on weekdays, weekends, days & nights! We are huge pet lovers here. I have three kids to keep your pets stimulated and busy. I also have a fenced yard and a two-story house. We also live close to a dog park if you've taken your dogs to a dog park and are comfortable with me doing so. I have two dogs to play with your dogs. We enjoy going on walks early in the morning and after dinner, so we will bring your dog along! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I will adjust my schedule to fit your pup's routine! Either my partner, Alex, and I or both are always home so the dogs are almost never on their own. I can bring my work with me wherever the dogs are, inside & outside. I have a fenced backyard, baby gates throughout the house, a storm door on the front door, several crates (medium & large), and a quiet & safe room upstairs if your pup needs some space. I have a lot of dog toys all around the house, blankets, treats, outdoor activities, etc to help your pup feel safe and comfortable here. I care for many anxious & nervous dogs, so I am well aware of their body language and know exactly what it is they need. If you ask my previous clients, they'd tell you that their anxious dogs warm up to me pretty quickly!
“Another great day with Lauren! Lauren is quick to respond to our last minute request. We appreciate the pics she sends and Milo loves spending time with her and her little girl. Thanks, Lauren.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their beloved pups for years because they know every dog who stays with us is treated like part of our family. I took a break from pet sitting for a while, but I'm happy to share that I'm now open again and excited to welcome new furry friends into our home! My husband and I both work from home, so your pup will enjoy plenty of love, attention, companionship, and playtime throughout the day—they'll never be left alone. While I'm new to Rover, I'm certainly not new to providing safe, dependable, and loving care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Our home features a fully fenced yard and a secure dog run where your pup can safely explore, play, and burn off energy. We have plenty of activities to keep tails wagging, and for dogs who enjoy socializing, there are friendly playmates to spend time with as well. I know how important it is to feel connected while you're away, so I'm happy to send photos and updates, giving you peace of mind and letting you see how much fun your pup is having. We also have one gentle, mellow cat who gets along wonderfully with dogs, but if your furry family member would be more comfortable without feline company, she can easily stay in her own area. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and happy home away from home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and truly loved. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I am home all day with your fur baby. So I am available to care and be with our baby all day. They will be loved and spoiled! Your baby will get to play all day, have breaks, eat on your schedule. Please provide their food and any snacks you wish them to have.
“My pups had such a great day with Christine and Daniel’s! They are nice people and communicative. My dogs came home happy, worn out and went to bed early. Happy I found them!”
“Felt very safe leaving Zarina with her. She was very communicative and patient with me. As an out of towner my guesses of how long everything would take was a bit off. lol traffic! I will use her again!”
“First of all, Tara’s place is very suitable for dogs. It is secure with plenty room to run around. We left our 6 month old high energy golden-doodle with Tara for the day. It was the first time being away from us we were worried he would have some anxiety. Tara was great giving us updates throughout the day with pictures. Without hesitation we plan on bringing him back for our next vacation. Thank you Tara!”
About: I have always been a pet owner, volunteered at no-kill shelters for many years, and have worked with many sick AND healthy dogs over my years as a veterinary assistant! I am a hard-worker in and out of school and will ensure that you feel that your pets are in the best hands! I am no stranger to animal care and I will use my three years of experience to ensure that you receive the best care possible! I am currently a Veterinary Science major studying at the U of A! I try to be as up front about my class schedules as I can as being a student is a huge part of who I am! I want to have the most experience possible with a variety of companion animals as I work towards my goal of becoming a veterinarian. Before coming to the UA, I had a full time job at an amazing clinic where I learned so much more in depth animal care! I am all about pet safety and I am a very hypervigilant pet sitter/walker as I only want what is best for my clients! I am able to watch pups outside if predators are a concern or obstacles like a swimming pool. Happy clients and pets are of utmost importance and I provide daily pictures/videos of pets to ensure that owners feel at ease! I also require meet and greets before bookings because I love to get to know you and your pet a little more and ensure that we are a good fit!
“Maple had a great time staying with Carol! Carol is very experienced taking care of dogs and has an excellent setup in her backyard where she has separate fenced in areas where she can either let your dog play with her two cute French bulldogs, or give them time alone. She also shared lots of great pictures during Maple's stay! We would absolutely recommend Carol.”

“Yaneli took great care of our pup who came home happy and tired. Yaneli has a large, secure backyard where dogs have plenty of room to run around. Stormy, Yaneli’s friendly and energetic pup, was a wonderful playmate. We received pictures and a video during the day which really put our mind at ease. We’d definitely book Yaneli again!”

About: Animals have been part of our lives for as long as we can remember, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. As a mother-daughter team, we combine years of hands-on animal experience with flexible scheduling to give your pets dependable, personalized care right in the comfort of their own home. Our experience covers just about every age, size, and personality. From puppies and high-energy dogs to large breeds and seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra attention, we’re comfortable adapting our care to what makes your pet happiest. We also have experience administering both oral and injectable medications and are comfortable following detailed routines and special-care instructions. I have four dogs of my own—a mixed-breed pack of different ages—and currently care for a senior dog as well. I’ve also raised several litters of puppies, giving me plenty of experience with the patience, supervision, and consistency young dogs require. Before pet sitting, I worked as a preschool teacher, so patience and staying calm when things get a little chaotic come naturally! My mom brings a lifetime of animal experience of her own. She has cared for everything from dogs and cats to horses, cattle, rats, and other animals. She primarily handles our overnight stays, while I focus on drop-ins and daytime care, allowing us to offer more flexibility to the families we work with. We know leaving your pets—and your home—in someone else’s hands requires trust. Communication is a huge priority for us, so expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. We want you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and being cared for according to the routine they already know. Whether your best friend is 5 pounds or 100+, young and wild or enjoying their golden years, we’d love to meet them! I run a business from home so I have super flexible hours and availability to tend to any and all care needs. Your pet will be my priority. I prefer to care for the pets in their own home and familiar areas. I find this gives them a good sense that nothing is changing and reduces stress for the animal. I am very familiar with crates and crate trained animals. I pay close attention to instructions given for food and medications. I will spend time with them not just drop by for 5 minutes, giving love, attention, exercise(if permitted).
“We are so pleased with Jennifer’s work ethic and communication. There were a few glitches on our side, she gladly worked with us. We will definitely use her again for our dog, and our family dogs.”

I’ve raised several litters of labradors, I had a horse ranch for 15 1/2 years, we had six dogs and six cats and 20 horses on the ranch. I had to train the dogs and my barn cat to be around horses, so they wouldn’t get kicked or stepped on. I am retired, so I am pretty flexible for morning visits or walking, also afternoon visits are walking. I can board at my house if needed, I have 5 acres, all fenced, so plenty of room to run if you’d like to bring your pups to the house. I have two very friendly dogs, also two different size crates if they’re needed.

I live in a calm home with my sister, her boyfriend, and another roommate, who are all firefighters and often gone for 24 hour shifts, so the house stays very quiet during the day. As a full time online student, I am home most of the time and able to give pets lots of attention, supervision, and consistent care. I always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, and any instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable while you're away, so I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks. I also respect your home and will leave it just as I found it. I'm experienced caring for dogs, horses, and other farm animals, and I'm happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, reliable hands.

“After my first sitter canceled, Lauren jumped right on it to watch my 4 month old puppy over Christmas. Lauren and Athena were the absolute best for Bindi! They sent lots of picture updates, had fun adventures, and I felt completely at ease with leaving her over the holidays. So amazing and so thankful. Can’t wait to book again!”
“Sydny and Atiana were really excellent. The attention to detail, the communication, and the care for my dog were outstanding. This was our first time boarding with them and I will definetley be using them again. I feel comfortable with leaving my girl with them and feel she is in good hands when I need to be away. Thanks to them both for their excellent service!!!!”
“Michelle and her husband are wonderful. They helped me out in a pinch and more importantly, they are very responsible and caring dog handlers. They are great people and I felt very comfortable with them taking good care of my little guy.”
“Elizabeth did such a wonderful job taking care of our pup this past weekend while we were away for my birthday. Our pup Nala hasn’t been to a sitter 6 months, and was having a hard time adjusting to being in a new environment away from us, but Elizabeth reassured us that she was being showered with love and that gave us tons of peace of mind! She sent lots of photos throughout the duration of Nala’s stay who grew very close to Elizabeth and found a great sense of comfort in her! We’re grateful to Elizabeth for deeply caring for our pup and keeping us in the loop, and would recommend her to anyone we know! Thanks again!”
“Thanks for taking such great care of Clancy again Lara. I love all the photos and videos you supply. It is such a comfort knowing he’s having as good a time as we are! See you the next time we plan a get away.”
“Leslie was really great with my 2 fur babies. They were well taken care of and loved on. She did a great job sending me updates with very cute pictures! If I need a dog sitter I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Andreah is GREAT. She took care of my Mini Schnauzer Sosa for 4 nights. Very accommodating, messages back quickly, gave us updates throughout his stay and our Sosa had a great time. Highly recommend!!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the experience Cedar and I had with Christie and Daniel. From the moment I dropped Cedar off, I felt completely at ease. They took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his routine, personality, and preferences, and it was clear right away that they genuinely love and understand dogs. Throughout Cedar’s stay, I received regular updates, pictures, and even a few sweet videos that showed just how comfortable and happy he was. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and getting plenty of attention made it so much easier to be away from him. When I picked him up, they had given him a bath and he clearly had a great time. I could tell he felt safe and well cared for—he even gave a little tail wag goodbye, which says it all! I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and kind boarder for Cedar. I won’t hesitate to bring him back the next time I travel. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had English bulldogs for 10 years. I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I can administer most meds with instructions. I’ll care for your dog as if it were my own and she’s spoiled! I work full-time but mostly remote, so I’m home a lot. I can ensure your dog’s needs are met on a daily basis, they’re the best companions. I have a fenced yard and a small area with turf for potty breaks. I live near a dog park and can take them there, weather permitting. I consider dogs a part of the household so they’re allowed everywhere but I’ll also follow your lead if you have specific instructions.
“Kaitlin is an amazing sitter, was in peace leaving my puppy for a weekend with her. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again. She knows how to take care of animals and its shows that she loves doing it with her husband and 2 own dogs.”
“Lauren was so great with Tuna and very accommodating! My sitter went MIA when I showed up to drop Tuna off, so I needed a last minute Rover and Lauren answered my request right away - The rest is history and I couldn’t haven been happier with my choice for a sitter for Tuna! My cat was well taken care of and her dog, Millie, was sweet with Tuna. Would highly recommend!!”
“Michelle was amazing!!! She sent me pictures of my 2 dogs everyday and let me know how they were doing. I’m not sure what she did, but my 1 year old German Shepherd came back a completely different dog, in a good way. Thanks Michelle!!! I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to watch their dogs.”
“Gail was absolutely fantastic with my Nugget over spring break! She was attentive, kind, and incredibly experienced. There was never a moment where I felt that worried for Nugget. He warmed up to her right away, which I think shows how affectionate and caring she is with the pets she cares for. Throughout the stay, I got regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her again with Nugget.”
“Amy was wonderful throughout the entire process! She communicated with me every step of the way and kept me updated with videos and pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can truly tell she loves dogs. She has two of her own, and it shows in how naturally she cares for them. She took such great care of Lucky and even made him a fun peanut butter treat! Amy is incredibly kind, and you can genuinely tell she’s a true dog person. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter for their fur baby.”
“Patricia and JR came through for us at the last minute when our original boarding plans fell through. They were so accommodating and understanding on short notice and we could tell the pups had so much fun as they were out like a light when they got home. We are so grateful for their time and for allowing our pups to stay at their beautiful home. Thank you again!”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Alondra took great care of our pup! She was responsive, kind, professional, and sent picture updates of our girl. We highly recommend her services and will be looking for availability in the future!”
