“Steph and her family took great care of my girl treating her like a queen. Mia very much looks forward to seeing them all again. I highly recommend Steph for anyone as she is professional, very communicative (lots of pictures) and easy to deal with. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“I highly recommend Kathleen and Steve if you need someone to take care of your furr-baby. My puppy had a great time and I'm sure he loved his walk to the Starbucks!”
“Celynda and her partner did a fabulous job taking care of Daisy. Daisy was walked, taken to dog park. She even went above and beyond by giving Daisy a bath. My absence was extended and Celynda bought extra dog food and vitamins for Daisy! No dog sitter I know has ever done that Kudos to you. Daisy played with the cat toys and Celynda bought a larger toy just like the cat toy, stuffed Lam Chop which Daisy loved. She got to bring it home I highly recommend Cylenda for dog boarding and sitting. Your dog will be better off than when you dropped it off.”
“This was our pups’ first time boarding with Myron and Pat. The dogs are rescues from a bad situation and are wary of new people, but warmed up quickly to them. Myron and Pat made the dogs feel very comfortable and at home. It was a great experience!”
“Kylea and her family are absolutely amazing!! I was nervous to leave my cat as this was the first time leaving him with someone and I can’t say enough great things about her!! She sent pictures and updates all the time which calmed my nerves! I will refer her to anyone who asks! Thank you Kylea!!”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident leaving Scorch in such a clean and secure environment. Scorch came home happy and well taken care of, which really says it all. We'll definitely be using Chuck's services again!”
“Benjamin was AMAZING!!! He really went above and beyond!! This was the first time we were away from our fur baby in years, and we were really concerned. But Benjamin did a great job letting her relax, and warmed up to him. We can’t thank him enough!!!”
“Sonia was the best! I really appreciated the photos and videos, I could see that Tina was happy and wagging her tail 🤣 I loved that Tina got to hang out with Chuy, he’s adorable. Everything was great, I will 100% keep booking with Sonia.”
“First time I ever used Rover and first time I ever left my dog with a stranger. Rae was extremely kind and loving to my dog. She sent me text messages and pictures that I very much appreciated. My doggie was very well taken care of from Rae. She kept her safe and followed the instructions I reviewed with her. I would recommend Rae and will use her again.”
“Our Dog Charlie was in great hands, very happy we found Mitch. We will not hesitate to book his service in the future. We also received updates and pictures during our trip.”
“Sierra took great care of Utah. She shared multiple pics of my boy. Looked like he settled right in for his stay with her. When my flight was delayed, she was very accommodating to keep him for a few extra hours until I could get back.”

“We picked up our guy today after being gone for 8 days. First time leaving him anywhere so we were nervous. Chris and Julia were amazing. They were so nice and made us feel comfortable. They sent us daily updates and we could see he was enjoying himself and getting along with their dog. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. They’ll definitely be our go to sitters in the future.”
“Melodie was exactly what we were needed for our boy Rocket when we went out of town for the holiday. She did a great job at communicating, sending messages and photos throughout our trip to let us know he had settled in and was having fun! Rocket was happy and exhausted when we picked him up! We will definitely call Melodie the next time we head out of town!”
“Claudia is a true dog whisperer! Our elderly, picky, skittish, timid chiweenie ate without issue and even began playing with the other dogs there. Claudia sent us regular updates and photos. And Paris, who is afraid of everyone, warmed up to her right away. We have already scheduled our next visits!!”
“Dina is the best dog sitter! She takes such great care of my two little ones. It’s nice to have someone that I trust that takes such good care of them when I need to travel. Highly recommend.!!!”

“Stephanie was amazing! She took such great care of our two cats while we were on vacation. Her communication was phenomenal and her updates helped put our hearts and minds at ease. Our animals are our world, so we stress when we have to leave them. She helped make us feel comfortable, and we enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing our girls were in good hands! We definitely found our person! Thank you, Stephanie! ?”
“Kylea welcomed our cat, Noodles, into her home on very short notice, and we couldn't be more grateful. Noodles wasn't just being watched—she was truly cared for by Kylea and her wonderful daughters. It was clear they treated her like part of the family. We loved receiving updates and knowing she was safe, comfortable, happy, and getting plenty of attention. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Noodles was surrounded by such a caring family throughout her stay. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Kylea is definitely the perfect choice. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable pet sitter. Thank you again, Kylea, for taking such wonderful care of our girl!”
“I have tried a couple different cat sitters and Faith is by far my favorite. The care she gives my kitty is heart warming and allows me to feel comfortable when I travel. The love she has for animals is clear and she always helps my kitty feel restful in my absence. The greatest of thanks for all you do!!!”
“Krysten was an excellent cat sitter! She was always on time and very flexible. I had to make adjustments to her schedule due to medication issues with my cat and she was very accommodating. I came home and found that my girls were very well cared for. I appreciate Krysten for watching them and I would definitely book her again!”
“Kimberly did a wonderful job! She sent pictures, walked the dogs, and when we came home I could tell that all the food and water had been looked after! I especially appreciated her taking the time to play with the dogs too! Definitely will hire her again!”
“Savannah was great. She came for a meet and greet a few days before. She was on time for the booking and did everything we asked. Our 2 kitties looked good in the photos.”
“You will want Dani to pet sit For your pets,she is awesome with them you get a pic of your pet with every visit she even goes Above and beyond and goes and gets my mail and brings it in. That is so nice of her. Not part of her job, but she will bring my mail in I have 2 cats One pretty much loves everybody, the other 1 you have to work with her.It takes time, but it took Dani apx 3 vacations for the 2nd cat not to hide on her. She can put her food down like we do You will not be disappointed.”
“Dina was very reliable, caring and an effective communicator before, during and after 6-day check ins with my cat. I had full confidence in her during that time period (which included admin of medication) that my cat was well cared for. I will use Dina’s services for any future need.”
“Annabella was amazing! She went above and beyond to care for our cat Loki while we were on vacation. The night we left, our fire alarms became defective and kept setting off until our maintenance team could come fix them the next day. Annabella stayed extra long during her visit to reassure Loki and comfort him. Our litter robot also had a connection issue, and she was able to reset it & set up an emergency litter box I had shipped to the home. The fire alarm situation caused me a lot of anxiety at the beginning of the trip, but the daily updates and photos from Annabella made me feel so much better and we were able to thoroughly enjoy the rest of our trip, knowing our boy was in good hands! We would definitely rebook with her on future trips. :)”
“Tonya was awesome watching my two kitties over the holidays. Punctual, friendly, and great with my pets. Did a good job with the care instructions left. She provided a new note and photos after each visit letting me know how they were doing. Great with communication too. Wonderful sitter overall. I recommend!”
“Im so grateful to Issy taking care of my babies. I have a regular babysitter who is gone for the summer and am always nervous to trust someone new but she honestly exceeded my expectations and I just booked her again for next month. The thorough updates she provides really puts me at ease and I was surprised that even my most timid kitty warmed up to her immediately. 🩷”
“Stevie is wonderful and took great care of my kitties! She sent photos daily and updates. I felt much more comfortable after our meet and greet as well! Will use again!”
“Tammy took great care of my cat while I was away. She was a great communicator, providing daily check in updates and pictures, and voicing any concerns. I would hire her again!”

“Thanks to Kim for always being available when we need a sitter for my Blair! Not only does she take care of her very well, she also sends plenty of pictures/videos of my furball playing at the dog park! Would definitely recommend.”
“Sonia is absolutely amazing — truly the best sitter I’ve ever had. She gave constant, thoughtful updates and showed so much love, care, and attention to my pup. She even accommodated me last minute, which meant the world. She exercises my dog and treats her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sonia”
About: Hey, I’m Kylea! I am a lifelong animal lover with many years of experience caring for all different types of animals! I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to senior pets- shy or anxious animals, and pets who need extra patience, structure, or attention. Not only do I care for dogs and cats, but I have experience with bunnies, turtles, hamsters, and all sorts of animals! Animals truly bring me so much joy which is why I wanted to start doing Rover! To help others when they need a safe and loving place to have their animal cared for while away from home. I enjoy taking my dogs to the dog park and on walks although I spend a lot of the day playing at my house as I have a nice big backyard that’s a perfect play place for the dogs! I’m experienced with following detailed feeding schedules, administering basic medications, handling special diets, providing frequent potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once while still making sure each animal receives individual attention and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important our pets are—they’re family. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet(s) is receiving the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pet(s) and give them a fun, loving home away from home! 🐾💕 I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom, therefore I am home basically all day everyday- other than the typical errand runs, Sunday morning church, and sports for my kids. I would say caring for animals is a hobby of mine and I am so excited to care for yours! If I happen to leave while your dog is in my care, it will be kept inside my home in a large, gated area (no kennels), and never left outside. I have tons of space in my home so dogs that are not “related” will be kept in separate areas while I am away. Your pets are my top priority and your request is highly respected for the care of them! During the AZ summer, dogs will remain inside for the majority of the day but will still get tons of attention and playtime because in my home- we play ball in the house! :) Your dog(s) will have frequent potty breaks and tons of playtime outside when the weather isn’t extremely hot to prevent your pet(s) from being overheated. I have a double fenced yard and tons of space for your pet to play. Artificial grass, a doggie pool for those dogs who love to play in water, tons of toys, an outdoor cooler with pump, & misters and fans (though dogs will never be left outside for a long period of time). As for cats- I will keep them separated in their own, quiet space with their own litter box, food, water, and accessories/toys until they seem to feel comfortable with me and in my home. Then I will introduce the cat(s) slowly to the other cats and the to rest of the home.
“Kelly and her family are extremely friendly. My dog, Daisy got a long so well with them! Throughout my pet's stay she was committed to keeping me updated on the well being of Daisy. I would definitey consider taking Daisy for another visit!”
“Christina did wonderful with my 3 month old puppy Lily! Lily was able to socialize with other dogs which helped us out tremendously. I would definitely trust her to take care of my puppy any time.”
“Sierra was amazing, welcoming Ruby to her home last minute for daycare. She sent photos along the way - I was so happy to see Ruby playing with her sweet pups and resting on a comfy bed. We will definitely use Sierra again!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I can remember. Not really dogs but family to me. From walking to bathing to brushing they are my kids. I’m retired now so having someone depend on me is comforting. They keep me young and they give so much love. I love doggie kisses! However, I would prefer not to take dogs in the last months of their life. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs - my husband and I walk the dogs we play with them and they sleep with us.
“Had a great experience, my dog is literally the most difficult breed (Samoyed) and she did great job. Was alway communicating and making sure Jax (dog) was allowed to have certain treats. Glad they are willing to handle my high energy shedding machine 🤗”
“Francesca is by far one of the best dog sitters I’ve had ever worked with. Her compassion for animals does not go unnoticed and she is always willing to accommodate if she’s able too. Her fur babies are sweet and my Simba loved making new friends. Highly reliable and I don’t plan on doing business anywhere else anytime soon. Thanks a ton!”
“Erin was amazing. It’s not easy to care for. 2 month old lab! Many thanks for the great communication and pictures throughout the day. Honestly, just perfect and I can put to rest any concerns I have leaving Shelby when necessary.”

She has the cutest little Pug that Sophie got to me and interact with as well. I will definitely rebook!!!”
“Jack had a blast staying with Valerie and Kevin. He did lots of running and playing came back home and slept all afternoon. Next up he’s doing boarding, I’m sure he’ll have a blast!”

“Faith is one of the best dog walkers I have ever had. I am a travel nurse that moved into the area for 5 months and Faith walked Stormy almost every week. She is always attentive to Stormy and would notify me of any misbehaving. She also helped get her re trained when Stormy started to get a little wild on walks. She would send me wonderful pictures when she visited. I always knew Stormy was in good hands when Faith walked her! She is such a blessing and always shines her love on the animals and the people she surrounds! I’d highly suggest having her walk your fur babies!!”
“Tamara did such a great job caring for Arlo. She took a few extra minutes on the first day to meet Arlo so he could get warmed up to her. She also was very punctual with the scheduled times. I will be asking for her help as needs arise in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I grew up on a farm in rural upstate New York, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. I am very comfortable handling animals with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Because of that background, I’m calm, observant, and confident when it comes to animal care. I understand how important consistency, safety, and attention are, whether it’s feeding routines, exercise, or just spending quality time with your pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every pet with patience, respect, and care like they’re my own. ⸻ 🐶 My Experience * Lifelong hands-on experience with farm and household animals * Comfortable with large, high-energy, or strong dogs * Experienced with shy, independent, or senior pets * Confident managing multiple animals at once * Familiar with feeding schedules, cleaning, and basic care routines ⸻ ❤️ My Care Style I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

“Issy is amazing! She has patience with Phoebe, and Phoebe is always so excited to see her. Thanks so much Issy. We appreciate everything you do to keep Phoebe’s walk schedule consistent while I am recovering.”
“Alexandra was awesome! I had a few specific requests on the walk due to my dogs age and she had no problem following them. I was out of town and I loved all the pictures and updates she sent. My dog is big and sometimes acts stupid around other dogs, which always makes me concerned when I’m not there but she didn’t seem to have any problems handling her. I’m glad she was there to help. Next time I need someone to help me take care of my dog she will be my first call.”
About: Growing up I had the best black lab ever. He was such a sweet boy, and I learned from such an early age how compassionate dogs can be. He would curl up next to me when I would have a tough day and that grew my love for dogs. Although he is no longer with us, I did, however, have the pleasure of adding a new addition to my life, a cuddly malti-poo. I treated him like a baby because he was so special to me. I would take everywhere could. I hope to share my love with other furry friends and make them feel special too. I am a stay at home mom and am flexible with my schedule. I am willing to work with your schedule to make sure your pets receive their walks and have plenty of fresh air outside. I can take photos during your pet's walk to keep you updated and let you know how the walks went. Also, I'll make sure to pick up any animal waste.
About: I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry friends! With 10 years of dog-sitting experience and a lifetime of growing up with dogs, I bring a deep love for canines and a wealth of knowledge to ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for. I specialize in staying active with dogs, whether it's long walks, playtime, or engaging activities tailored to their energy levels. I have extensive experience with both senior dogs and puppies, understanding their unique needs and providing the extra care they require. As the proud owner of two well-trained, large-breed dogs who get along great with others, I know how to foster a positive and safe environment. I'm also skilled at administering medication and accommodating any special needs your dog may have. Let me give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve! As a passionate pet caregiver, I seamlessly integrate dog and cat care into my daily and weekly routine to ensure your furry friends receive the exercise, attention, and love they need. My schedule is structured to prioritize their well-being while maintaining flexibility to meet their unique needs. **Daily Routine:** Each morning, I start with a brisk walk or play session for dogs, depending on their energy levels, to get their exercise in early. For cats, I engage them with interactive toys. Throughout the day, I provide multiple check-ins, including feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks for dogs or litter box maintenance for cats. I make time for extra cuddles, grooming, or training sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. If medication is required, I administer it precisely as instructed. Evenings include another walk or playtime, ensuring dogs get ample exercise (at least 1-2 hours total daily) and cats receive focused attention to keep them content. Before bedtime, I ensure they’re settled with a calm environment, often spending quality time to reinforce our bond. **Weekly Routine:** On a weekly basis, I plan longer adventures for dogs, such as hikes or visits to dog-friendly parks (with owner approval), to mix up their exercise routine and provide new stimuli. For cats, I rotate toys and introduce enrichment activities. I schedule deep cleaning of pet areas, such as bedding or litter boxes, to maintain a hygienic space. My two well-trained, large-breed dogs, who are great with other pets, join in group activities when appropriate, fostering socialization for dogs or providing a calm presence for cats. I also set aside time to communicate with pet owners, sending updates or photos to keep them connected. My 10 years of experience and lifelong background with pets allow me to adapt my routine to accommodate senior pets or puppies/kittens, ensuring they get the extra care they need. By weaving pet care into my daily and weekly rhythm, I guarantee your dog or cat receives abundant exercise, personalized attention, and a nurturing environment, all while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Safety and trust are two very important things, especially when talking about pets. I’ve grown up with so many different kinds of animals, and each one of them have had different personalities! So if your dog is energetic, shy, skittish, or even lazy… I will take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet feels safe and anxious free! Especially if im in their home, dogs and cats can get very territorial and im fully prepared for any situation!
About: I have raised and cared for animals nearly my whole life. I have a background and education in animal husbandry and nature conservation. I also have many years of vet tech experience with exotic and domestic animals, as well as training skills to include: aggression/behavior correction; off-leash and obedience training; house-breaking and crate training; socialization and interspecies cohabitation. Rest assured your pet will be in a loving, clean, secure and structured environment with plenty of room to play and relax. I work from home and I keep my own hours, so I have the ability to be flexible and accommodating. All I ask is that we work together to find an appropriate schedule that works for both of us. Our home is adjacent to a wonderful park with walking paths, small ponds and a spacious dog park. I have quite a large fenced-in yard with several established shade trees, so pets have plenty of safe space to roam freely. I have a pet door that can accommodate up to a Medium sized dog (approx 26" tall at the shoulder). I work from home so larger pets still have regular access outside for potty breaks and play. I have a spayed female Maine coon cat in the home that is very social and is socialized with dog and cats.
About: I currently have a lab mix fur baby named Boris. I've also raised a German shepherd and a Keeshond. I give Boris lots of love, walks, and trips to the dog park, and I would love to care for your fur baby the same way. I'm open to caring for your loved one with or without mine on walks or at the dog park. I also love cats and would be happy to spend time playing, cuddling, or just making sure they are well fed. I love all animals and feel I connect with them. I'm responsible, reliable, and honest. I'm looking to change my career - yes, this late in life - to do something I've always wanted to do: share my love with as many fur babies as possible. You can count on me to provide friendly, fun, and responsible care for your fur baby! I am retired. My schedule is pretty open and flexible. I walk my dog. I also do social activities in my community 2 times a week. I can walk, sit and visit, feed and water your fur babies. I'm open to extra duties inside your home. I love to pet, cuddle and play.

“Steph and her family took great care of my girl treating her like a queen. Mia very much looks forward to seeing them all again. I highly recommend Steph for anyone as she is professional, very communicative (lots of pictures) and easy to deal with. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Celynda and her partner did a fabulous job taking care of Daisy. Daisy was walked, taken to dog park. She even went above and beyond by giving Daisy a bath. My absence was extended and Celynda bought extra dog food and vitamins for Daisy! No dog sitter I know has ever done that Kudos to you. Daisy played with the cat toys and Celynda bought a larger toy just like the cat toy, stuffed Lam Chop which Daisy loved. She got to bring it home I highly recommend Cylenda for dog boarding and sitting. Your dog will be better off than when you dropped it off.”

They sent us daily updates and we could see he was enjoying himself and getting along with their dog. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. They’ll definitely be our go to sitters in the future.”

We will definitely call Melodie the next time we head out of town!”

Highly recommend Deanna for anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”

I’m so glad I found someone my dog feels comfortable with, and I feel confident leaving my dog in his care. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
