“I've had my dog Finn for nearly 2 years. I got him when he was 9, so there is a lot about his early years that I don't know. He's my first dog, so I take great pride in helping him live his best life. Prior to him coming into my life, I would usually take two weeks off in August to attend the Sturgis motorcycle rally. My pet arrangements fell through last year (hadn't engaged any sitters from Rover), thus, I wasn't able to go. So this year I found Brooke through Rover. I had met one other Rover sitter, but Finn just didn't vibe with that person. We met with Brooke and I knew things were going to be alright. She and her family did an awesome job with Finn! She sent pics each day to let me know how he was doing. I was able to relax and have a great vacation. I would definitely board Finn with Brooke again!”
“Our experience woth Pamela was amazing! We were beyond nervous leaving our Barkley but she made the process easy. We did a pre meet up and when I went to drop him off on he actual weekend, he ran right up to the door excited. I got frequent updates on how he was doing and pick was flexible after a flight delay! Our dog is not food motivated and she would add a couple drops of broth to his bowl to make sure he got some food. I appreciate the extra attention to his care! We will def use Pamela again for future sitting.”
“Marina did a great job with our Mishu. She has a very warm and kind personality, but is also the one in charge among the pack she’s caring for. She has a great, big backyard for all the pups to run around in and socialize. To provide updates, Marina sent several videos a day. I could see Mishu made many friends there!”
“Ashley was an excellent sitter! It was my first time using her, and the meet and greet went well. My pup stayed with her for a week and she was very responsive, and communicated really well. I felt like she genuinely cared about my dog and he seemed well taken care of. Would highly recommend.”
“Jackie was amazing with my Zuri! Jackie’s communication was excellent and I appreciate her attention to detail to keep Zuri’s routine as consistent as possible. This was my first experience using Rover and I am happy to have found Jackie as my sitter. I will definitely book again!”
“Eric took great care of Kuma over 2 weeks and I could tell he was having a great time. Got lots of amazing pictures and updates. I would definitely book with Eric again in the future for anytime!”
“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“My Happy The Corgi ❤️🐶🐾 enjoyed his 1 week of stay. Julia was nice and sweet. She took good care of my Happy. Great communication, I received daily updates, photos, and videos. My HAPPY was definitely HAPPY with the pet care and stay. Thank you Julia! 😊”
“This was the first time I did boarding with Chandra. I could tall from the pictures that she was happy and had a good time. Cindy sent updates and pictures. This was a great experience for me and for Chandra. I recommend Cindy 110%. She is awesome!”
“Kelly & Dahl were wonderful and communicative. They sent photos daily and made sure we had updates. I would highly recommend and will use them next time we need to board our dog.”
“Kelly is warm and genuine in her love for dogs! I was confident my dog would be safe, relaxed, and well-cared for in Kelly’s home. I picked up a happy dog and am pleased! Thank you Kelly for a terrific 1st boarding.”
“Ezra took wonderful care of our pups. We were traveling and he was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Communicating with him was easy and he always responded quickly and was very accommodating. He was friendly, professional and the space was clean and cool for them. He even went the extra mile to clean their bedding. We would highly recommend.”
“Sergio and his family were great to work with and my dog loved staying with them. They were easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I needed to adjust times due to schedule changes. I’m so lucky to have found a great place for Scout to stay and look forward to using them again in the future.”
“David was so great to Rudy & Leahy. He communicated well, took phenomenal care of them (multiple walks daily) and gave them all the puppy love! I will request David to watch them every time moving forward. He is a great guy who cares about your animals like they are his own.”
“Loved that Gabriela was available to watch my dog, Copper. I was on a trip with no cell service but I was confident Copper was in good hands. She sent me pictures everyday so that when I got back into service I was assured Copper was safe and comfortable. He looked like he enjoyed his stay. I would book with Gabriela again in the future! Thank you!”
“Zach and Maddie were the absolute best! From the moment I met them I knew my dog was in great hands. They are genuine dog lovers. I got lots of updates while I was away. It was such a relief being gone for a week and not having to worry about my dog. They even took him on a picnic! 10/10. Highly recommend.”
“Julie was fantastic with Moose! (The dog… not the giant antlered woodland mammal. Although if she can handle Moose, I have a feeling she’d figure that one out too.) From the minute I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. She asked thoughtful questions about his routine, personality, and care, which told me right away she wasn’t just checking boxes—she genuinely wanted to know him. Since Moose occasionally communicates through interpretive dance and questionable life choices, I relayed the detailed care instructions. Julie took it all in stride. Every day she sent adorable pictures along with a little update about what Moose had been up to. It was such a comfort knowing he wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely being cared for and enjoying himself. Those daily updates made being away so much easier. When we picked him up, he was happy, confident, and his delightfully goofy self. He looked like he’d had his own little vacation. That’s exactly what every dog owner hopes for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Julie again. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your favorite four-legged family member, but Julie made that part easy. Moose gives her two paws up… and I’d give more if he had them.”
“Roxanne is so easy to work with. She asked many questions and clarified to make sure that Beans and I were both comfortable. She cared for Beans like her own. Greatly appreciate the excellent service and care. Her townhome is spacious and there is loads of green grass surrounding the complex. Highly recommend.”
“Christian and Hana were wonderful! We got regular updates on how our pup was doing (complete with adorable photos) which made us feel so much better about being away from her. I'd definitely have Vee stay with them again!”
“My dog stayed with Sara as we went on a trip and we got peace of mind with all the updates and pictures! First time using Rover app. Normally I would drive 2 hours to drop off my dog with family but now I would definitely book again!”

“One more booking with Sara and she was impecable as always. Very attentive to details, reports the visit with detail, and always willing to help and to go above and beyond. 💖 Frida and I are so happy to count on her! Peace of mind during my trips!”
“Kyle & Danielle did an incredible job taking care of my 3 kitties. Great communication and every detail of instructions I gave was followed perfectly. Took the time to stop by and meet the kitties prior to my trip as I requested on short notice as well. Treated all kitties with care and respect, including my two senior Bengals. Definitely recommend them as pet sitters. Thank you Kyle and Danielle for taking care of my little ones!”
“Diana was absolutely fantastic. Reliable, always sent good photos of my cat, and provided updates in the Rover Card for how he was doing. I will definitely trust Diana with my sweet boy again!”
About: I work as a veterinary technician/assistant and care for cats every day, both at work and at home with my own 3 cats. I understand that every cat has a different personality and that trust takes patience. I respect their space, follow their routines, and let them come to me on their terms. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or older, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“My cat loveeed Brooklyn!! I would recommend Brooklyn to absolutely anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, & caring pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of my fur baby!”
“I will definitely be rebooking with Junjie again, my kitten Teddy absolutely loved her and was well taken care of! She provided very thorough notes and details of each visit and was amazing with him. She made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!”
“Kristi took great care of my babies! Spent extra time and care with them and even went above and beyond fixing issues she didn't have to. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“My cats are super anti-social but one of our kitties came up to Sophia for pets almost every day she came by. The first person she’s ever done that for! Sophia was great and I’d definitely recommend her services.”
“Teresa took great care of my cat, Thor. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated the updates—they gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again.”
“Jasmin is super helpful and professional to work with. It was nice to get feedback and pictures that she sent when she came to visit our kitties. Knowing she was checking on them gave me peace of mind and we’ll definitely rebook with her!”
“Claire did a great job of taking care of our kitties. She was courteous and kind, leaving us relaxed and with the confidence that our house and kitties would be okay while we were away. Will definitely book with Claire again!”
“Sarah did a great job in taking care of my elderly cat while I was away. She sent multiple updates and photos daily giving me peace of mind that Layla was healthy and happy. Layla required antibiotics for a UTI just days before I was to leave and Sarah didn’t bat an eye about adding the medication to the routine. Thank you, Sarah!”
“I came back home to a very happy kitty!! I was so nervous to leave Loki for the first time, but Bridget sent me a ton of photos and made me feel at ease throughout my trip. She spent a lot of time playing with him, brushing him, and chilling at his favorite spot on the balcony. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!💗”
“Here’s a cleaner short version without the specific example: She was a great pet sitter—very responsible and extremely responsive. She went above and beyond with communication and sent many updates and photos, which we really appreciated. It gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely book her again.”
“Marie was such a pleasure to work with! She came over for a meet and greet and took detailed notes on our kitty’s routine. I felt comfortable right away based on the thoroughness of her questions. We received detailed reports after each drop-in and the sweetest photos. It looks like they had a great time together! Would highly recommend”

Perfect for high energy dogs - East Rio
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Danielle and Kyle were so accommodating to my hectic day and change of plans. My dog has a lot of energy and they seemed to handle her just fine. My pupster was clearly worn out as she went straight to bed once we got home. That’s exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to a sitter and a day experience for her, somewhere where she will have another awesome dog to play with, kind (and command following hosts), and just an overall loving and welcome experience. Will definitely use them again! My pup was soooooo happy with her experience and so was I!”
About: Your dog will be treated like family while staying in our home. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every dog in my care. One thing that sets my care apart is that I only accept one family's booking at a time. While I may care for multiple dogs from the same household, I do not mix dogs from different families. This allows me to provide more individualized attention, maintain a calm environment, and ensure your dog feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, including senior dogs and dogs requiring oral or injectable medications. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm place to relax, I tailor their stay to what makes them most comfortable. While we live in an apartment, your dog will receive multiple daily walks, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and make sure dogs in my care get the physical activity and enrichment they need. My son and I love spending time with dogs, and Rover has become a wonderful way for us to share that love while helping pet parents feel confident their pets are being cared for. Since we do not currently have pets of our own, visiting dogs receive lots of individualized attention during their stay. I know being away from your dog can be stressful, so I provide regular photo updates and communication throughout their visit. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. Before booking, I always encourage a meet-and-greet so we can make sure we're a great fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets in my care receive plenty of attention and are not left alone for extended periods. Dogs receive multiple daily walks and exercise tailored to their age, energy level, and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you're away. Because I only accept one family's pets at a time, I am able to focus on providing individualized care and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment for each guest. I only accept one family’s pets at a time, creating a calm, safe environment where each pet receives personalized attention, comfort, and loving care.
“Pamela takes such good care of my miniature schnauzer puppy! She takes her on walks every morning and has a big backyard for the pups to play in. Pamela is dependable and reliable!”
About: I’ve had a Yorkie named Cooper since I was young and he currently lives with my parents back in Cleveland. I love dogs so much and I believe you should take care of dogs like you do your kids! I work fully remote, so I will be at home and play with the dogs all day! I will show them love and be able to feed them and take them to the bathroom whenever they need it! I also have a dog park at my apartment and a park in walking distance! I will play or walk the dogs whenever they need it, I love to exercise and move around! They will never not be shown love!
“Madison and Austin took great care of our dog Blake when we needed to both be at work for the day. Blake can be anxious around new people, and they were attentive to that and made sure we brought some of Blake's things (pad/blanket, toys, treats) so that they could make him comfortable. Blake had a great day with them and settled in and Madison provided updates throughout the day to let us know how it was going. And of course the next time Blake saw Madison and Austin he was jumping up and shaking his body all over to greet his new friends. We appreciated how patient they were with Blake (and us) and highly recommend them to take care of your dog.”
“Melissa helped me out last minute when I needed someone same-day. She was really quick to communicate and flexible. After arriving it was really clear to me that she’s the kind of person who just ‘gets’ dogs. My little guy can be a little slow to warm up to people and get comfortable, but he seemed immediately right at home in her house. She kind of just has that calming energy that dogs seem to click with. I also loved how ideal her house is for dogs with the doggy door and backyard. Nothing but good things to say—I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Eden, and dogs have been my whole world for years. 🐾 I’m an experienced trainer who also offers safe, structured, and loving boarding in my home. Because of the setup here, pups do need to be comfortable being in a kennel/crate at times. If your dog isn’t fully kennel trained yet (like a young puppy), that’s totally okay — I just ask that they can go into a kennel without any aggressive behavior so everyone stays safe. While your dog is staying with me, they’ll enjoy: ✨ A little bit of training and structure woven into their routine ✨ Learning manners and practicing calm behavior ✨ Daily enrichment and exercise ✨ Plenty of love, playtime, and cuddles ✨ Daily updates so you know how they’re doing My goal is to make boarding feel less stressful and more like a safe, structured staycation where your dog is cared for like family. I work from home training dogs and doing phone consultations, so I’m home the majority of the day with the pups. The only times I’m briefly away are for church on Sunday mornings (about 9:30–10:30) and the gym on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings for about an hour. During those short times, all dogs are safely kenneled with fresh water, A/C, and cameras for monitoring, so they’re always safe and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I have a secure fenced yard and kennel space in my house. Dogs staying with me do need to be comfortable being kenneled at times, or at least able to go into a kennel without aggression (puppies still learning are absolutely fine!). While boarding here, dogs enjoy structure, manners practice, daily enrichment, exercise, and lots of love — plus daily updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Tasha was very caring and conscientious - she took excellent care of Lucy, provided us with regular updates, and was very pleasant and reliable to communicate with. We especially appreciated how calm she and her household is, and that she got to know our dog as an individual special being, not just ‘a dog’. I would highly recommend Tasha to anyone looking for a safe, loving caretaker for their furry family member.”
“Rachael is great! Super professional, friendly and knowledgable. Excellent communication and beautiful place for the dogs. Georgie had a blast at her home!”
About: I have years of pet sitting and pet boarding experience. I have given services for both dogs and cats even kittens. I feel comfortable with various sizes of pets and pets with different temper. I’m a fast learner and I am very patient when it comes to animals. I have also been a volunteer at R.A.I.N animal rescue for 3 years. I like dedicating my time to help with adoption events at PetSmart. I am a huge animal lover and will make sure your pets get well taken care of with love !!!! I am open to different services and I can be flexible to meet your needs. Pls contact me if you have any questions. Love to get to know your fur babies! I’m here to help!!:) I work remotely and have plenty of time and space for your pets. I will be able to make sure your pets’ needs are met VIP room if requested for shy pets and those that need extra space. Fenced front yard for fresh air. Open backyard with fresh grass for breaks and walks.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve raised my own Australian Cattle Dog, Charlie, since she was 9 weeks old, and I frequently watch my parents’ Australian Shepherd, Tanner. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I treat every dog like my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I’ve had my Australian Cattle Dog, Charlie, since she was a puppy, and I used to have a cat named Mitch, so I understand the responsibilities and attention pets need to stay happy and healthy. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit in walks, drop-ins, and quality time with other pets. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every pet with the same care and consistency I give my own. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust while you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. From keeping your pets happy and comfortable to maintaining your space just the way you left it, I make sure everything is handled with attention and care.
“My husband and I left both our shitzu and husky with Justin for daycare on the weekend while we were away on long dates and our dogs were very well taken care of. I can tell Justin and his partner are very attentive to every dog and their specific needs! When we picked up our dogs they were so tired from all the fun they had at the daycare that they fell asleep in the car ride home. It is the next day and they’re so calm and taking naps! We appreciate you both thank you guys! Cooper and Teddy had a blast xoxo”
About: Hey there, my name is Estefany. I am a full time student at GCU. My schedule revolves a lot around school but I love checking on pets during my free time! I can take short notice requests as early as same day visits as long as I don’t have much going on! When it comes to boarding pets I try to do mostly pets that are crate trained so they are safe at times that I’m not home. Your pet’s safety is my upmost priority! I have worked with many animals and many different personalities. Currently, I offer drop in visits and walks with no meet and greets required. I am not currently offering house sitting because I don’t think I have the free time your pets deserve when they have someone caring for them at their house!
About: Hi, we’re Zach and Maddie! We are true dog lovers! We both grew up with dogs our whole lives and have cared for many others through friends, family, and other clients. That means we’re comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and of course, their favorite scratch spots. We genuinely love being around dogs and miss having them in our daily lives—which is the reason we started Rover! Since we both live together and work from home, your dog gets double the care, attention, and supervision throughout the day—basically 2-for-1 pet care! This also means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone during their stay. We live in a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a backyard in Scottsdale 85251. We provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and care based on your dog’s routine. We’re reliable, communicative, and always send photos and updates. We’ll treat your pet like our own and make sure they feel right at home! :) We both work from home, so at any given time there’s almost always at least one of us home. Your dog will get plenty of attention and will rarely, if ever, be left alone! All dogs are welcome to hang out wherever they like—whether that’s on the couch, sleeping with us in bed, or anywhere else they feel comfortable! We also have a spacious fenced backyard with a grass area. We keep our home nice and cool, especially during the summer, so you never have to worry about your dog overheating.
“I would not want to leave our pup with anyone else! For any other anxious dog parents, Dave is a god-sent. He is extremely attentive, considerate, and just plain awesome! We do weekly daycare and have boarded our puppy with him in the past.”

“Teresa has been absolutely wonderful with Stella, has walked her every day from 8 weeks to 6 months around lunch to help my husband and I with our work schedule. She provides clear communication and plenty of pictures and has been very flexible with our work schedules. My dog loves her! Would highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats of every kind. I’ve raised puppies and kittens and older animals. I’ve potty trained and I love teaching new tricks! I am a full time student in college at ASU but my schedule is very open. I only have two classes at most on select days which give me a lot of free time to take care of your fur baby. I will mainly be providing service outside of my home but I like to be active and fun so I will be able to provide my full attention.
About: I’m CPR certified for dogs, I’m currently working as a Veterinary Technician (I can handle meds well if required), I’ve done doggy-sitting and dog bathes as well as nail trims my whole life, I also have work experience in a dog training/boarding facility, and I’ve always had a passion for loving and caring for pets! I’m currently working as a veterinary technician, I don’t have a fixed work schedule but I usually work two 12hr shifts and two 6hr shifts throughout each week. Most weeks I have Sunday and Monday off but I try to keep my availability as accurate as possible. I live in an apartment with a fenced doggy area inside the complex. I can take your pet out at any time as many times as needed. I have one dog living in the home!
About: I’m super passionate about all types of animals, I grew up with dog and cats! I will always have a soft spot for any and all animals🫶🏾 I am currently available anytime throughout the day for your fur babies! Please feel free to reach out anytime if any questions or concerns, can't wait to connect soon(: I have a doggy park at my complex, the way my complex is set up I’m able to take walks around the lake everyday with my own pup!
About: Hi! My name is Bridget, and I've owned and cared for cats for 25 years. I grew up with Devon Rexes, so I know all about energetic, play-centric breeds, but I also have loads of experience caring for shy kitties who need their space. No matter what your cat's personality is like, I'll make sure he or she knows they are king of the castle. I'm available to care for your pets at your home, and can do daily feedings. I work 9-5, but am also available for 2x/daily visits depending on location. The majority of my experience is with short-term care (<two weeks) but I am also able to provide long-term care. Please let me know of any questions or concerns - I would love to help pamper your pet while you're gone! I work 6-3, and can spend some of my work day at your home so your pet doesn’t get lonely. I’m also available for 2x/daily visits depending on location. The majority of my experience is with short-term care (<two weeks) but I am also able to provide long-term care. I always let pets come to me on their own time, and will never force cuddles or photos on an animal who isn’t enthusiastic. Your pet’s comfort is of the utmost importance for me - so if that means sitting in silence in the same room together, perfect - and if they prefer to go crazy chasing a toy, I’m ready to play!
About: Hello! So nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your pet(s)! My first name is Taylor, but please call me Marie (my middle and preferred name). A bit about my background: I am Fear Free Level 3 Certified, RECOVER Initiative CPR-Certified, and I am insured as a Pet Sitter / Dog Walker through Pet Care Insurance. I'm currently enrolled (2026) in Penn Foster's Vet Tech Associate's Degree Program. I graduated with a 4.0 from Pima Medical Institute, Phoenix, in December 2020 from the Veterinary Assistant Program. I graduated magna cum laude ("with great praise") from ASU in 2015 with a BA in Creative Writing and a second BA in French linguistics/translation/literature. I also completed one semester of the Pre-Veterinary Medicine program at ASU. I've worked for various Small Animal vet clinics on and off since 2018. I have been working with animals in some capacity since 2010 (technically years earlier, since I used to volunteer at our local humane society in elementary and middle school as a kid), and I’ve had my own pets since I was ~5 years old. I worked previously for Rover from July 2017 to May 2021, and took a hiatus because I moved, but unfortunately I no longer have my original Rover profile (Was listed as "Taylor E.", first name and maiden name initial). I had a 5-star rating from 35 people who were pleased with my pet care and communication and left positive reviews (thank you so much!!!) and had several repeat clients -- Please see screenshots of my previous Rover account reviews in my photo gallery. I love working for Rover, so I’m glad to be back! I am competent, thorough, communicative, responsible, punctual, respectful, honest, and have integrity. You can be assured that your pet(s) will be safe with me. I give periodic written updates with photos, I follow instructions carefully, I take attentive notes about your pet from your description and my own observations, I am focused and attentive when caring for your pet(s), and I respond promptly to messages. For pet sitting in your home, I am very tidy/respectful and will leave your home as clean as when I arrived, and I stay in only the designated area(s) and only touch what I need to (please show me where you keep cleaning supplies and your pets’ food or medications, etc.). I pick up after your pet and bring my own dog waste bags, leads, collapsible water bowl, and first aid kit, just in case. I pay attention to details, like the temperature (air/ground) being safe for walks. My preference is to suggest a “Meet-and-Greet” (whenever possible. I do typically accept short-notice requests where this may not be logistically possible) because it’s important to me that you AND your pet are comfortable with me (and I you). I am loyal and love to have repeat clients, but I also enjoy taking on one-time requests, I’m happy to help. I try to keep a pet’s routine as familiar as possible for their comfort and your peace of mind. I have the experience to be able to care for certain special needs, and I will communicate with you honestly (at all times) if I feel a request/booking is beyond my scope of experience because my priority is your pet's safety and wellbeing and I feel they should be matched with the best possible carer. I have worked with a variety of cats/dogs of different ages, abilities/needs/conditions, sizes, and breeds, as both a veterinary assistant and pet sitter. As an important DISCLAIMER: While I do have years of vet assistant experience and formal vet assistant education, I am not a Veterinarian and not a CVT (i.e., I am not licensed to practice veterinary medicine); I can only care for your pet in the capacity as a pet sitter / dog walker and cannot provide medical care or diagnose or prognose, etc. I will always refer you to your local Vet for that type of care and will not do anything outside of my scope of expertise for the safety of your pet (and to abide by the law). In the event of an emergency I can provide first aid/CPR and transport your pet to the vet. About our pets at home: My husband and I have two wonderful cats (1 adopted, 1 we rescued) and two wonderful dogs (adopted by us from the humane society after they were rescued from dire situations, respectively; one of which is a tripod and one is a disabled senior that wears diapers) -- I gravitate especially towards rescues and seniors that need a little extra care, and I especially love cats. Every pet is so special and deserves a safe and happy home! Thank you so much for your consideration. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! -- Marie When receiving a booking request, I will communicate in detail about my availability to ensure it meets your expectations and your pet's needs. I’m a transparent and thorough communicator, and I’ll let you know of any prior commitments that I may have during a house stay request. I also do real-time check-ins/updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing, what we’re up to, and when I am present and when I leave your home. My day-to-day work/school is remote and flexible, so I can choose my own hours and follow your pet’s daily routine (waking/sleeping/feeding, etc.), and give them lots of both active, attentive quality time (undivided attention playing with them, walking them, petting them, brushing them, caring for them, etc.) and hangout time (for example, sitting on the couch together). Whenever possible, I can take short-notice and same-day requests. I have evening classes most weekdays for ~2-4 hours, depending on the day, and occasional performances on weekends, but typically no other scheduling commitments from May to September annually. From September through May (9 months, Fall to Summer), I am unavailable Saturdays and some Fridays (mostly First Fridays) due to our performance schedule. For a healthy pet that can be safely left alone, I still always spend as much time with them as possible and only leave the house for meals (and/or can bring food) and/or class, an occasional errand, depending on how long the stay is. I arrive well-prepared to minimize the need to exit the home. I will discuss my availability and your pet's needs in detail before accepting a booking to be sure it is mutually a good fit. For any booking, your pet’s care and safety is my primary responsibility and I take my duty of supervision and care with the utmost seriousness (don’t worry, I’m also fun!). I also care deeply for their emotional well being, so while I have to be realistic about my own schedule and needs (my classes, the need to eat, etc.), I don’t leave them unattended or lonely for any longer than I have to. In your home or on a dog-walk, I will give your pet(s) my full attention to their safety, well-being, and happiness. I am consistent and committed to staying up to date on the latest behavioral and scientific/medical knowledge. I am thorough and I carefully follow directions and will ask for clarification if needed to ensure I am prepared for your pet's specific care. I am experienced and knowledgeable, and you can trust me in your home and with your precious pets. If they have a special need that I am not qualified for handling or have experience with, I will be honest and not overstate my skills (I want your pet to be in great hands with the best fit possible as much as you do). I am gentle, calm, and kind, and can also be silly/fun/playful/energetic, or very quiet; I try to adapt to your pet’s personality, comfort, and needs. I've worked with a range of pets, from quiet seniors and calm cats to rambunctious puppies, giant-breeds, and anxious pets. And while I love them all, I most especially gravitate towards cats, seniors, and differently-abled pets. I unfortunately cannot care for your pets in my own home (such as daycare or pet sitting in my home) because I have four of my own at home with special needs and routines. (Note that when I’m away on a house stay, they are in great hands with my husband, so while I miss them dearly when gone, my own pets are very loved and looked after.) ***I’m not accepting puppies at this time due to my varied availability/classes, or most Large/Giant breeds only because I’m healing a neck/shoulder injury; I'm not assuming about your pet that they pull on a lead, but I want to ensure I could safely carry/transport them in the event of an emergency.***
About: I have taken care of various animals throughout my life! I am a volunteer at the humane society, so I’m around dogs a lot! I love animals so much and enjoy taking care of them a lot! I am very good with dogs in particular! I was able to train my puppy to listen to many commands! I am a student at Coconino Community College, but I only have 2 classes a day Mon-Thurs and none of them are late classes! I also have time in between my classes on Mondays and Wednesdays(: I live in an apartment so I do not have a yard, but my apartment backs up to a forest area so it would be easy to take the dogs to play! There are also grassy areas around my apartment complex and parks nearby(: I’m a college student at Coconino Community College so I have classes Monday-Thursday but, my classes are only about an hour each and I only have 2 each day so I have lots of time to take care of any doggies! I live at an apartment so I do not have a yard but there is a foresty area all around the complex and I have a little patio area! There are also parks nearby, so I would be able to give the dogs plenty of time and areas to play!

I’m available for regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, and walks whenever your dog needs them. I’m here to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and companionship. However, because I work from home, I cannot accept dogs that bark or howl indoors for long periods of time. I treat every dog like family, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. My partner and I live in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment with plenty of room to play, plus a fenced dog park just steps away for potty breaks and outdoor fun.

“Rohit has dog sat/boarded and day cared our dog Daisy for a year now. There's absolutely no one else I would trust to take care of her more than him. Daisy absolutely loves Dodger and she has a boatload of fun at his house. She always comes home and falls asleep shortly after. Rohit has always been awesome, extremely communicative and super trustworthy. Your dog is in excellent hands!”
About: I’ve had a Yorkie named Cooper since I was young and he currently lives with my parents back in Cleveland. I love dogs so much and I believe you should take care of dogs like you do your kids!

I also have a dog park at my apartment and a park in walking distance! I will play or walk the dogs whenever they need it, I love to exercise and move around! They will never not be shown love!
About: Throughout my life, I have raised and trained multiple puppies and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages! I’ve spent my days walking, feeding, bathing, training, and loving my cattle dog and shepherd mix named Moose for the last two years. I also regularly sit for a miniature schnauzer named Gandalf the Grey and for a tabby cat named Ronnie! I am experienced in basic skills training and loving all kinds of little furry friends! I’m currently working part-time as a student, so I have ample time to check in and take the best care of your little loved ones! In my home, I regularly clean and refill the water and food bowls and keep my furry baby on a yummy and clean diet! He gets at least an hour of play and two walks a day, so we get his energy out and get him some healthy exercise! Whenever he is given toys, he is supervised at all times.

“I've had my dog Finn for nearly 2 years. I got him when he was 9, so there is a lot about his early years that I don't know. He's my first dog, so I take great pride in helping him live his best life. Prior to him coming into my life, I would usually take two weeks off in August to attend the Sturgis motorcycle rally. My pet arrangements fell through last year (hadn't engaged any sitters from Rover), thus, I wasn't able to go. So this year I found Brooke through Rover. I had met one other Rover sitter, but Finn just didn't vibe with that person. We met with Brooke and I knew things were going to be alright. She and her family did an awesome job with Finn! She sent pics each day to let me know how he was doing. I was able to relax and have a great vacation. I would definitely board Finn with Brooke again!”
“Marina did a great job with our Mishu. She has a very warm and kind personality, but is also the one in charge among the pack she’s caring for. She has a great, big backyard for all the pups to run around in and socialize. To provide updates, Marina sent several videos a day. I could see Mishu made many friends there!”
“Eric took great care of Kuma over 2 weeks and I could tell he was having a great time. Got lots of amazing pictures and updates. I would definitely book with Eric again in the future for anytime!”
“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“Ezra took wonderful care of our pups. We were traveling and he was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Communicating with him was easy and he always responded quickly and was very accommodating. He was friendly, professional and the space was clean and cool for them. He even went the extra mile to clean their bedding. We would highly recommend.”
“Sergio and his family were great to work with and my dog loved staying with them. They were easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I needed to adjust times due to schedule changes. I’m so lucky to have found a great place for Scout to stay and look forward to using them again in the future.”
“David was so great to Rudy & Leahy. He communicated well, took phenomenal care of them (multiple walks daily) and gave them all the puppy love! I will request David to watch them every time moving forward. He is a great guy who cares about your animals like they are his own.”
“Zach and Maddie were the absolute best! From the moment I met them I knew my dog was in great hands. They are genuine dog lovers. I got lots of updates while I was away. It was such a relief being gone for a week and not having to worry about my dog. They even took him on a picnic! 10/10. Highly recommend.”
“Julie was fantastic with Moose! (The dog… not the giant antlered woodland mammal. Although if she can handle Moose, I have a feeling she’d figure that one out too.) From the minute I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. She asked thoughtful questions about his routine, personality, and care, which told me right away she wasn’t just checking boxes—she genuinely wanted to know him. Since Moose occasionally communicates through interpretive dance and questionable life choices, I relayed the detailed care instructions. Julie took it all in stride. Every day she sent adorable pictures along with a little update about what Moose had been up to. It was such a comfort knowing he wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely being cared for and enjoying himself. Those daily updates made being away so much easier. When we picked him up, he was happy, confident, and his delightfully goofy self. He looked like he’d had his own little vacation. That’s exactly what every dog owner hopes for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Julie again. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your favorite four-legged family member, but Julie made that part easy. Moose gives her two paws up… and I’d give more if he had them.”
“Roxanne is so easy to work with. She asked many questions and clarified to make sure that Beans and I were both comfortable. She cared for Beans like her own. Greatly appreciate the excellent service and care. Her townhome is spacious and there is loads of green grass surrounding the complex. Highly recommend.”
“Christian and Hana were wonderful! We got regular updates on how our pup was doing (complete with adorable photos) which made us feel so much better about being away from her. I'd definitely have Vee stay with them again!”
“Alani was great. She was responsive and sent updates regularly. Will definitely book with her again. This was my first time using rover and we had to book last minute and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend using Alani to care for your furry friends!”
“Huaqing took great care of our pups! Both our dogs had a great time and Huaqing kept us updated during their stay with messages and photos. We will definitely contact her again when we need a sitter!”
“Veronica took very good care of my babies. She kept us posted with pictures with detailed daily activities and she has been very responsive all the time! Will definitely come back again!”
“Rachael and Tim were amazing with our Corgi. From the moment we had our first visit with them, we knew it would be a good fit. Rachael did a fantastic job of keeping us updated throughout our dog’s stay with her. She is one of the best I’ve seen and always communicates. We will def use them again!”
About: I’ve fostered and rescued cats and dogs for a few years now , every since I was a kid I would bring in strays and help them . I’ve also pet sat for friends and family for a few years as well :) I currently have a job were I make my own schedule so my availability is very open ! I’m available every day of the week day and night :) I walk my dogs 3 times a day I take them to the dog park 5 times a week for an hour or longer depending on how hot it is
“Madison was great with my dogs. I have a boy who can test patience, and she handled him with great care while I was out of communication for two days on a trip. Would recommend!”
“Mitchell is incredible. Not only was he super accommodating, with a fantastic home and environment for my puppy, but he was also consistently communicative, proactive, and most importantly amazing prepared and incredibly knowledgeable. From his overall demeanor and presence, to how he handles and treats not just my puppy but all the dogs he was caring for at the time, you can tell Mitchell knows what he’s doing and does it well. He was able to not just care for, but actually train and help cultivate an incredible environment for my puppy’s growth. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and he will be the only sitter I use moving forward after my first experience with him.”
“A huge thank you to Celeste for accepting our booking at such short notice! Really great communication with pictures of our dog throughout the stay. If we are in the area again, we would definitely rebook!”
