“Michelle was a dream for my Desi girl! She is so incredibly kind, caring and attentive to my pup 😊. I appreciated her consistent communication while I was out of town, her experience with dogs is invaluable, I HIGHLY recommend her to all pet owners!”
“Amazing family! Our puppy loved his stay of 3 days with them. He was well taken care of and was loved. They gave him full attention and made sure he felt at home! I would 100% recommend and will book again!”
“Lara is a wonderful pup care sitter. My dog is high energy and very anxious and she was able to make him feel comfortable. He gets plenty of exercise running around the large property or running alongside Milkshake, the mini pony. Lara is extremely responsive and communicative and I get updates during the day. I am extremely pleased with her services! 😊”
“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.”
“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!”
“Cashmere was well taken care of by Ana. My little dog got to play with Ana’s little dog. The socialization was great. Cashmere was taken on walks in the neighborhood. Ana did a great job communicating to me on a regular basis. She sent pictures and video often. We had a god experience.”
“We could not have had a better first experience with leaving our pup with a sitter. Sara & her kids were fantastic! Sara sent periodic updates and photos and I got the impression that peach was not only well taken care of but also well loved. We would definitely recommend Sara and will absolutely use her again on the future!”
“Our Golden Retriever, Bucky, was in great hands with Richard and Jeanette for his first stay with them for four days! It was nice to know that someone who loves dogs was around with him all the time, and gave him the attention and play time that he needed :) He's ready for another visit soon!”
“As always, Kimberly was WONDERFUL with our Midget. She was super helpful and creative when getting Midget to take her medicine during this most recent stay. We knew the entire time we were gone what great care Midget received, and it was so reassuring to know. Highly recommend Kimberly!!!”
“Andreah was fantastic! We set up a meet and greet at her house a couple of weeks before the booking and she had a very clean home and backyard. She sent me updates everyday with photos. Cooper normally has a hard time eating when I’ve had other sitters watch him (probably due to nerves) but he ate his food while under her care. When I picked him up, she even had a little goodie bag for him! We Highly recommend Andreah to watch your pets!”
“Katarina is a warm and caring dog owner and host. She has a wonderful house and yard and two friendly dogs. My dog loved exploring her interesting yard. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to others. I know my dog was happy and well cared for there.”
“Beth was great with our puppy! She also was exceptional with communication. We could not have asked for a better experience and look forward to using her services again!”
“5 Gold Stars for KendalI! We enjoyed meeting Kendall and her pack and I loved that her dogs welcomed my dog immediately. Kendall is a very nice person, and is very caring. I was so grateful to get a precious picture of my dog playing - and looking like he didn't even miss me! I'm certain we will return again, my dog has a bunch of new friends. Thank you.”
“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!”
“Our dogs live going to Rons, his two dogs are friendly and our dogs live playing with them. He always sends a lot of photos and updates. Ron genuinely enjoys dog sitting. I always feel good dropping them off with him.”
“Antonio took great care of our pup. He was very easy to communicate with and provided updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos. We would definitely use him again to watch our pup and recommend him.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Chloe received from Elizabeth during our 4 days away. Elizabeth kept us informed with pictures and notes. We are totally satisfied and would have no trouble going back or recommending her to others. Thank you Jerry & Janet Sherfey”
“Oh my gosh, Debra and Dennis were fantastic! Our Tootsie dog was their lone boarder, was walked twice a day, and provided with undivided attention. They were concerned and caring with her senior status and comfortable providing her meds. She was happy and contented when we came to pick her up.”
“MacGyver loves going to stay with Gail while we travel! She is very accommodating feeding him his mix of vegetables & kibble while treating him like her own pup! Thanks, Gail!”

“Wonderful and always communicated and sent pictures. Have already rebooked with her. Cant say thanks enough for her willingness to drive to a decent remote area of Arizona to help with my dog and cat. It takes a lot of stress off regarding my busy schedule.”
“Griselda was friendly and great at communicating! She was patient with my shy cat and gave my more social cat lots of love. She completed all the responsibilities as instructed and helped me feel better about leaving my cats while on a trip.”
About: a lot of the families i was hired for were mainly dogs but majority of them also had cats! while they were mainly focused on the dogs because they typically need more care, i was also focused on learning about the cats as well! i also live with a couple of rescue cats currently!
About: Hi! I’m Anna, and I’d love to care for your cat while you’re away. I’m a proud cat parent myself (that’s Clark in the picture❤️) and completely understand the unique personalities (and quirks!) that come with our feline friends. Whether your cat is social and playful or independent and reserved, I’m comfortable adapting to their vibe and needs. I’ve cared for cats for friends and family over the years and treat each one like they’re my own. From feeding, litter box cleanup, and playtime to quiet companionship or medication needs, I’ll make sure your kitty feels safe, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re gone.
About: I’ve been dedicated to animal care for as long as I can remember — from volunteering at shelters as a kid to professionally walking dogs and advocating for animal welfare throughout my life. I bring more than just experience; I bring heart. I’m especially skilled with both puppy care and senior pets, understanding their unique needs, whether it’s gentle guidance for the young ones or extra patience and support for older companions. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and enriching environment tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. Every animal in my care is treated like family — with compassion, consistency, and a whole lot of love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a student with classes only on Saturdays, I have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends, making me readily available for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so whether it's part of my morning routine or winding down in the evening, I’m always happy to make time for quality care, play, and companionship. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to help them feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I take the time to understand each pet’s specific needs — from feeding schedules and exercise routines to any medications or special instructions. I keep things clean, calm, and comfortable, and I always respect your space as if it were my own. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I make sure your pet gets the attention and care they’re used to — and lots of love, too. Regular updates and photos are always part of the package, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.

About: I've always loved every type of animal, but coming from a dog family I never thought I'd own a cat. That is until one day my little brother came home holding a kitten that he had rescued. She is now my best friend, and one of the things I miss most about home! When my family is out of town I feed her, play with her, let her sleep in my room, and make sure she doesn't steal any of the dog's food (:

“What a great family! We did a drop off day care with them. Coco's tail was wagging away when we arrived, she knew she was in for some fun. They were so easy to communicate with, and you can tell that they all love pups. We were very happy with Coco's stay - we will definitely ask them again. Thank you Seth and Connie”

I am very attentive caring and sensitive to the needs of my pets which in turn will make me sensitive to the needs of your pet. The pets in my home are cared for as family, they get free reign of the house, they have full access to my back yard and they are not left alone in the back yard.

Pets are free to sleep on beds, couches or wherever else they are comfortable.
“We were dealing with severe separation anxiety with our boy Winston when we started looking for a day care option for when we were at work. Lynda, Roberto, and Maria were absolutely fantastic with our doggie. They have been extremely accommodating with pick up and drop off times. They provide a very safe and loving environment for Winston to sleep and play in each day. They have great communication and we love receiving pictures throughout the day from them of what our boy is up to. Winston loves their home so much, he hardly wants to leave at the end of the day. They have been very adaptable to both our needs and the needs of our greyhound and are very knowledgeable about many breeds. Very kind and welcoming family. My partner and I couldn’t be happier that we found them!”
“Sara took excellent care of my pup. She was friendly and communicative, sending adorable picture updates of my pup on walks, playing outside, and comfortably relaxing on the sofa. Her kids and sweet golden, Skylar, were great companions and provided the exercise and interaction I was hoping for. I’d happily book Sara again. Thank you, Sara!”
About: My mom and step dad are retired veterinarians so I've helped take care of animals my whole life. I've had my own little Shih Tzu mix for 15 years.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I finally adopted my own 13 years ago as puppies and rescued 2 in 2021. They are all senior dogs now with special needs- diet and medical. My one is diabetic and requires 2 injections a day. They all take medication and follow a schedule. I work from home which allows me to care for my four dogs. I have the ability to help others at this time and would love to make sure their pets are well cared for. I know how challenging it was to find care for our boys when I didn’t work from home. I care for someone’s pet as they ask me too and as I do my own. No feeding food they aren’t allowed (treats that aren’t authorized), hand feeding if necessary, plenty of potty breaks in the backyard to run (my dogs prance) and roll in the grass. I have beds and blankets for them to choose from and cuddle time on the sofa too.

About: With 30+ years of life with cats & dogs, I bring calm, loving, experienced care tailored to each dog or cat’s unique needs. I pay close attention to routines, energy levels, and personalities, whether that means long walks, slow strolls, playtime, or quiet companionship. My goal is for your cat or dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for, not just watched, while you’re away. I own my own business and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I’m in control of my day, dogs/cats get consistent attention, timely walks, meals on schedule, and plenty of companionship, never long stretches alone. This allows me to truly adapt to each dog’s/cat’s routine, energy level, and individual needs. I’m happy to care for your dog/cat in the comfort of your own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your routines closely, i.e. walks, meals, medications, and playtime, so your dog’s/cats’s day stays familiar while you’re away. Being in their own space helps reduce stress and keeps things calm and comfortable.

About: Why Rover: Growing up with pets my whole life, I know much we love our animals. I have two dogs of my own, have fostered over 200 puppies through Home2Home STL, have trained two service dogs over the span of two years, and there is nothing I would rather do in my free time than spend it with pets! About Me: I am 21 years old and I recently moved to from St. Louis to Tucson. I am a full time student pursuing a degree in marketing. In March of 2026, with the help of Arizona State University, I was able to create my initiative titled "Speak For Those Who Can't" with the mission of helping local shelters and educating the public on unhomed dogs in Pima County. Professional Experience I am currently employed at a senior living facility. During my time in St. Louis I worked at McCready Law and was Team Lead at Everbowl. I have also been a professional nanny and have extensive childcare experience and certifications. I am trustworthy, hardworking, and responsible--but importantly, I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Feel free to check out my gallery to see images of my own dogs as well as some that I have cared for, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! As a college student completing my degree online, I have a fairly flexible schedule. I understand that every pet is different, and that they like to stick to their routine-especially if their owner is away. Whatever your pet needs (specific feeding times, their favorite walking route, toys, etc.) I will be able to provide! In my home, I own two dogs- one pug (Bella) and one lab (Penny.) For their safety I do not bring client's animals into my home, but since I own my own dogs, I know how important it is to trust whoever is taking care of them. When letting someone into your home and around your animals, I understand first-hand how important safety is on both ends. I have nannied and pet sat professionally since I was 16 and am now 21, and I can assure you that safety and respect for your pets and your home are my top priority.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and genuinely love being around animals. I’ve raised my own dogs since they were puppies for the past 5 years, and for the last 2 years I’ve also house sat and walked dogs for other families. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and keeping pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I love getting to know every dog’s personality and treating them like family 🐾 I have open availability throughout the summer since school is out, which makes me very flexible and reliable for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care. I’m able to give pets lots of attention, consistency, and care, and I’m committed to being dependable for both pets and their owners.

About: Lifelong owner of Aussies and Goldens with experience sitting Labs, Collies, and Shih Tzus. Currently dog-free and eager for a "dog fix" through reliable care! Working from home, I offer flexible morning, midday, or evening visits. Because I have a remote schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. Since I don't currently have a dog of my own, these visits provide my much-needed 'dog fix' and serve as the perfect reason to step away from my desk and get active. Whether it's a brisk morning walk to start the day, a midday potty break, or evening companionship, I have the time and dedication to prioritize your pet's routine. My schedule allows me to be consistent and reliable, ensuring your pup gets the attention they deserve exactly when they need it.
About: I have grown up taking care of multiple dogs, including labs, shitzus, & now recently a golden doodle! I also have my own pup- Winston! He is a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. He is high energy and I did all of his training since he was a puppy. I am available most days morning to evening. I am not currently working as I just got back from backpacking South America. I have plenty of time to devote to your furry loved ones! I live in a great neighborhood on a golf course. Every morning and evening we are able to run the course and play fetch. My house has a fenced in backyard where the dogs are free to go during the day.
About: As a young kid I was the one who brought home every disheveled stray and nursed them back to health. I've cared for animals of every kind from dogs, and cats to frogs and snakes (and even tarantulas!). I spent my childhood training dogs in 4-h, and have previously worked as a veterinary technician, a bather, a pet sitter (including exotic animals), and a sales associate for a pet store, I've fostered countless dogs and cats (including whole litters of puppies!), I've even helped run a non profit animal educational outreach program. My schedule is currently fairly open. During the school year I will have to shuttle the kids to and from school but I have openings to care for your pets for most of the rest of the day! I prefer to care for your pets in your home environment, where they already feel safe, and secure. I try my best to stick as closely as possible to the routine that they're used to, but may have to deviate slightly depending on circumstances. I am comfortable administering medications if necessary, and I will happily help with not just your domestic pets like dogs and cats, but your livestock pets like chickens, ect, and even exotics like reptiles.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and strong attention to detail. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and understood, and I take the time to learn their individual preferences, sensitivities, and quirks. Whether your pet needs structured play, slow-paced walks, medication given on schedule, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I’ve got them covered. I’m currently a full-time veterinary student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to fit visits, drop-ins, and walks around my classes, and I always make sure I have dedicated time to give each pet the attention they need. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I keep feeding areas clean, tidy up any messes, and make sure the space is safe before I leave. I’m detail-oriented and safety-focused, and I never rush through visits—I want every pet to feel cared for, not just “checked on.”
“Christian has been walking my two labs daily for more than two years. He is always on time and more than helpful. When my older lab was failing, Christian was there to help lift him to his feet and walk him slowly. I am thankful I found Christian. I can heartily recommend him - no reservations!”
About: Hello! I am a pet lover who grew up with Boston terriers from ages 10-12 (20+). I also grew up working with dogs (Border Collies) on ranches, working side by side on various tasks. Because of my experience and comfort with dogs, I have been dog-sitting for friends and family my whole life. I have some experience caring for cats, including my sisters' and friends' cats (5+ years). I am very active and can exercise or entertain your pet with play or runs. I have rarley met a dog that I wasn't able to build trust with. I am a graduate student whose internship starts on the 27th of July. So I have complete availability then. Outside of that, I am typically free after 5 pm on weekdays and completely free on weekends. I ensure to follow all the rules the pet owner has established. I will use commands and language the dog is familiar with to avoid confusion. I make sure the pets are exercised 2-3 times a day. Cleaned and brushed if needed. I am mindful of water intake and make sure that all pets are kept on their usual schedule.

“Michelle was a dream for my Desi girl! She is so incredibly kind, caring and attentive to my pup 😊. I appreciated her consistent communication while I was out of town, her experience with dogs is invaluable, I HIGHLY recommend her to all pet owners!”
“Amazing family! Our puppy loved his stay of 3 days with them. He was well taken care of and was loved. They gave him full attention and made sure he felt at home! I would 100% recommend and will book again!”
“Lara is a wonderful pup care sitter. My dog is high energy and very anxious and she was able to make him feel comfortable. He gets plenty of exercise running around the large property or running alongside Milkshake, the mini pony. Lara is extremely responsive and communicative and I get updates during the day. I am extremely pleased with her services! 😊”
“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.”
“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!”
“We could not have had a better first experience with leaving our pup with a sitter. Sara & her kids were fantastic! Sara sent periodic updates and photos and I got the impression that peach was not only well taken care of but also well loved. We would definitely recommend Sara and will absolutely use her again on the future!”
“Andreah was fantastic! We set up a meet and greet at her house a couple of weeks before the booking and she had a very clean home and backyard. She sent me updates everyday with photos. Cooper normally has a hard time eating when I’ve had other sitters watch him (probably due to nerves) but he ate his food while under her care. When I picked him up, she even had a little goodie bag for him! We Highly recommend Andreah to watch your pets!”
“5 Gold Stars for KendalI! We enjoyed meeting Kendall and her pack and I loved that her dogs welcomed my dog immediately. Kendall is a very nice person, and is very caring. I was so grateful to get a precious picture of my dog playing - and looking like he didn't even miss me! I'm certain we will return again, my dog has a bunch of new friends. Thank you.”
“Antonio took great care of our pup. He was very easy to communicate with and provided updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos. We would definitely use him again to watch our pup and recommend him.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Chloe received from Elizabeth during our 4 days away. Elizabeth kept us informed with pictures and notes. We are totally satisfied and would have no trouble going back or recommending her to others. Thank you Jerry & Janet Sherfey”
“Oh my gosh, Debra and Dennis were fantastic! Our Tootsie dog was their lone boarder, was walked twice a day, and provided with undivided attention. They were concerned and caring with her senior status and comfortable providing her meds. She was happy and contented when we came to pick her up.”
“MacGyver loves going to stay with Gail while we travel! She is very accommodating feeding him his mix of vegetables & kibble while treating him like her own pup! Thanks, Gail!”
“David was graciously flexible with drop off/pick up time which allowed us to do a late night stargazing program. He also has a great yard that my dogs seemed to thoroughly enjoy. We were very pleased and booked a second day.”
“Our dog had the best time with Brittani and the other dogs that were at her house! He played all weekend and got to build his confidence with being around a lot of dogs. We are so glad we found someone we can trust with our dog!”
“Ashley has taken care of Ralphie many times now and he loves her so much! He is usually an anxious pup but he is thrilled when she comes to check on him and does well staying with her when we’re out of town. She takes great care of him!”
“Loren was amazing and put some of my anxiety at ease with our high energy aussie. She sent daily recaps and pictures of our dogs. It looked like they had a wonderful time and were so happy/tired when picked up. She communicates quickly with any questions/concerns. Would love to have our dogs stay with her again!”
“Vicky! I wanted to thank you, for taking such good care of my baby Theodore while I was away. I was very comfortable leaving him with you. I was confident and I knew that he would be in good hands with you. I appreciate you keeping me posted with Theodore’s daily activities. I will definitely reach out to you in the future to watch my Theodore for me again. Thank you so much! For everything ”
“I highly recommend that people should book Sydny to take care of their pup! She is a fantastic caregiver, very responsive and communicative. I love that she messaged me with any questions versus just guessing what to do. I think that’s so important and I really appreciated that. She was kind to me and certainly to my dog and gave him extra special attention! Thanks for helping me with my last-minute request to care for my Little Buddy! We’ll see you again soon!!”
“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.”
