“We loved the attention Phoebe got with Ron's care. He was great sending pictures of phoebe and Lilly having fun, he took really good care of her. I recommend him a 100%. Thank you Ron!!!”
“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”
“Otto loved staying with Sheila and her family! She updated me frequently throughout his stay and took awesome care of him (and his allergies!) :) Will definitely be staying with Sheila again next time I'm away.”
“Vicky is the sweetest!!! She was sooo good to our senior pup mojo, even though he has issues!! She kept us updated the entire time and was we HIGHLY recommend her!! We will be using her for all our future stays!! ?”
“Gail is such a wonderful sitter for Pico. Her home and yard, as well as her lifestyle and personality suit him perfectly. I could tell he was well cared for and happy when we came to pick him up. We have already re-booked with her for a longer stay.”
“Jose kept my cat for a long weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. Jose gave me updates and sent pictures. My sweet girl is shy and cautious so it takes a day or so for her to warm up. By the third day, she was sunbathing on her side which means she was very comfortable. He provided a calm safe space for her. I will definitely use him again in the future and highly recommend him. Jose, thank you again!”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“One of my guys was recently put on medication, and I was a little worried about leaving him with a sitter. Dana was terrific about it. My boys got a so much attention and came home happy.”
“My dog Kora loves staying with Courtney and her family - she comes back rejuvenated and happy. Courtney is always top on my list for boarding. Great communication, flexibility, and very caring. 10/10.”
“Ashley was very friendly and open. She met the needs of Holly. They were very interactive with her and sent many videos. They did a wonderful job job and Holly looked happy.”
“Christina was so easy to work with and our dog Lizzie loved her. She was so conscientious about Lizzie’s care and very flexible with our changing schedule! We’ll definitely contact her again.”
“Asia was phenomenal! She is extremely considerate and accommodating. I know for sure my 3 dogs were well taken care of while in her care for boarding. I would absolutely request she sit my dogs again, and recommend her services to others.”
“Richard and Jeannette are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my little guy with anyone since he had never been left with anyone but family before. He warmed right up with them and they truly treated him like they’re own and took such good care of him! They gave updates his entire stay and sent pictures of him being spoiled :). We will definitely be using them every time we need a doggy sitter!”
“We really got a good feeling from Regina, she's very caring and figured out some foods I didn't even know my dog liked to stimulate his appetite. He can be so picky! Daily pics and feedback made us feel secure that he was happy and healthy. Thank you Regina!!”
“My boy had a bit of a hard time being away from us and Julie handled it beautifully. She was constant on providing updates and taking care of his needs without a complaint. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my boy with her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Amazing dog family. I had to go out of town for a few days and didn't have any problem at all with fear or apprehension because I knew my animal is cared for. Extra playtime and walking because my dog is super energetic and needs the exercise. Thanks for the great job.”
“I never once felt worried while Ashton was in Michelle’s care. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. It was clear how much Ashton was genuinely cared for - my dog was happy, well-loved, and treated like their own. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can truly trust and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable puppy babysitter.”

“Logan is great; he looked after our aging kitty very well, sending photos and detailed reports every day. He’s caring and affectionate with animals and very responsible. We’ll use him again.”
“Heidi was great! She sent daily updates and pics. Both cats were comfortable with her and didn’t hide. We can tell they were very well cared for in our absence. Our ginger boy, Victor, usually yowls and yells for a few days after we return from a trip - not this time! Also appreciate Heidi letting me know about packages. We will definitely hire her again! 😻😺”
“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”
“Isabella took care of my two cats, Felix and Fritz, with twice-daily drop-ins while I was gone for 5 days. I was a little worried about them because they're still skittish from our recent move, but Isabella made huge efforts to befriend both of them. In addition to handling their meals and litter care, she got to know them, gave them treats, and played with them, handling each according to their own personalities. By the time I got home they were comfortable with her and very relaxed. She did a wonderful job, and I won't hesitate to have her take care of them again!”
“Did a great job dropping in on my kitties! They have a specific feeding routine that requires measuring out raw food with a scale and dosing medication into one of their meals. She handled both tasks with ease and seemed incredibly comfortable with the routine. She even went the extra mile by turning my plant lights on and off! She is very friendly, offers highly competitive pricing, and left me feeling completely confident that my cats were in good hands. I look forward to booking with her again!”
“Alba was so nice and easy to work with. She was on time to pick up the key and took a genuine interest in my kitties when discussing what they needed. You can tell she has cats and loves them. She sent reports and photos each day and helped me feel like my boys were in good hands. Recommended!”
“Shaina was GREAT!! Our cats seemed very content when we arrived home. Special thank you to Shaina for being able to come for an extra visit when our plane arrival time was changed. Loved the pictures that she sent after each visit!”
“Jewel was very caring and attentive to my cat Cleo. She made sure to leave a detailed report after each drop in. She made sure Cleo was fed, had water available, and scooped out the litter box during each visit. Any concerns she had during her visits were brought to my attention. This is the second time I booked Jewel to catsit Cleo and I would gladly do so again in the future.”
“Thanks to Christina my worries and stress melted away. I had to find a sitter quickly, and she was great!! I would recommend Christina to anyone, she was great with my cat Chloe. Even going to rebook with her again!!”
“Allyson was great! Thoughtful, patient and understanding with our nervous dog, and she left the house in great shape. She was communicative as well. We’d definitely book her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Aryelle. I have a passion for taking care of animals and love to spend quality time with our furry friends! I started pet sitting and dog walking when I was fresh out of high school in 2020. I would do it for my neighbors as they would travel quite often! Then I started to do it for my family members when I went back to school to make some extra cash on the side, along with my part time job, but I like to view pet care more as a hobby than “working”. I am currently a babysitter for a family every week and that also includes sitting there husky and cat! (And even feeding their koi fish!) I have experience in sitting different breeds of dogs. Mostly small and medium size but I have watched a few large dogs! I myself have 4 doggos. 3 small ones (a poodle/shih tzu mix, a chihuahua and their son!) and one big boy! (Rottweiler/heeler mix) They all have different personalities and that’s what I love most about pets. Another thing I thought might be helpful to add is that I once shadowed my aunt who is a veterinarian for a school project and I have learned a lot by doing so! I currently have availability weekdays and I am pretty flexible with hours! I am very active! I love going to the gym every and hitting my cardio by going on walks. So I thought, why not get my cardio in while walking your fur baby? That sounds like a win win situation! Your pets safety is my top priority. I’ll do everything to make sure that your fur friend is in great hands. This includes giving you frequent updates and sending you pics of your baby! I am available to provide drop ins, walks, feeding, playing and providing medication if needed. I’m more than happy to hang by for a little to attend your pets needs. Whether that’s by playing with toys, giving them treats & spoiling them with pets and cuddles. I know how important company is for fur babies, so I’ll be sure to treat your pets as if they were my own.☺️ Depending on your area I would love to take your pet to any local parks/dog parks. I am also open for any suggestions you may have. I am looking forward to meet you and your fur friends soon! 🐶🐾 PS- I have a minor allergy to cat hair, it’s manageable and doesn’t really bother me unless I pet them too much. (Which can be hard to resist at times because I love cats as much as I do dogs!😂) I don’t mind doing drop ins and feeding your cat just thought I’d put that out there!
“This is our first time hiring a pet sitter through Rover and the experience did not disappoint! Terri is very professional and goes above and beyond in caring for our pets and home while we were on vacation. She gave frequent and detailed updates including pictures. I would definitely hire her again, no question!”
“My cat had a health emergency 2 days before I had a trip planned - Sabrina agreed to house sit for me last minute and give him meds 4 times a day. She is an angel! She totally saved me in this stressful situation. She took great care of both my cats, gave the sick one all his doses, and communicated well with me about his health status the whole time! My cats and I love her!!!! She's so sweet and caring and I instantly trusted her with my pets and she did NOT disappoint!!!”
“Nicole did a phenomenal job looking over my cats while I was away, she went above and beyond for us and I will without a doubt be going back to Nicole for the next time I am away!”

“Barbara was great! It is obvious that she cares very much for the dogs in her care. She has a great house for pets and the yard is perfect. She sent me pictures of Lilly regularly throughout the day. I will use Barbara again without hesiration.”
About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. Throughout my childhood animals were my escape from reality. My dad bred dogs and I always loved them so much it was hard to say goodbye. In high school I took in a stray cat and it kept getting pregnant so I raised like 5 litters of kittens as well. To be honest I like animals more than people your babies are in good hands. I like to walk and get my steps in everyday so it won’t be much different walking with the doggos. I have dog and catsit for close friends and family but never strangers. Excited to do it! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I am my own boss so I can pretty much take breaks whenever I need to take your fur baby on walks or feed them as well as give them lots of attention when needed. My availability is very open and I love all animals. Since I work from home I’ll always be here to make sure your animal is well cared for and happy. I also go on multiple walks daily anyways to try and stay active so its perfect!!
“Paloma was very sweet and made me feel at ease,even though I have a 75 lb bloodhound.Her comfort with dogs and herself made me feel confident that I could trust her with my big dog.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have experience with different sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for a range of high energy to low energy and am happy to meet all of their needs. I am a recent graduate from the university and have not yet secured a job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I live in an apartment complex with one dog of my own (who loves other dogs). I am home most of the time so I can accommodate any number of needs for your pet easily!
“Shanda is awesome! She is very communicative and always willing to help! Mango enjoys her stay with Shanda and enjoys her playtime with the other pups that are there. She is my go-to everytime I am in need of help with Mango.”
“Iam so happy I found slyvie! Snowie and I are so happy with her service and even tho is hard to leave my baby I know she is in amazing hands and having fun ♥️ I received so many pictures and I loved that thank you slyvie for taking snowie in”
“Lesley has been great with Snowball multiple times. Very caring and accommodating for last minute circumstances (on my end). I trust her and appreciate everything she's done for my pup!”
“Chris was wonderful with Ziggy! We received pics and even a video! Ziggy was picked up and immediately fell asleep a happy pup! We look forward to booking with Chris again.”
“Thank you Beth for watching Nellie for the day! She loved meeting all the dogs, chickens, and goats. When we picked her up she was asleep in the car within 2 minutes. Highly recommend Beth and we will definitely reach out next time we’re in Tucson!”
“Ashley is an excellent, loving sitter. She constantly connects with all of the dogs who stay with her, each in an individual way, greeting, encouraging, praising and correcting. My dog Sunny Girl benefited greatly from the few months of once or twice a week daycare she spent with Ashley and the other dogs, becoming calmer and more confident with the various dogs she met. I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for safe, caring daycare or boarding services for their dogs.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was young, so being around them feels natural to me. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving their dogs attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I wanted to become a Conservation Biologist at one point of my life instead I went into Public Health! My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I'm a PhD student and do a lot of work from home. Live close to campus. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my pet-friendly apartment, with access to a small yard and nearby Himmel Park for regular walks and exercise. I carefully follow all care instructions, monitor pets closely, and ensure they feel secure and comfortable at all times. I'm a traveler and can't have my own pets but a temporary pet companion is always welcome and adored!
“Kat has taken care of my large dog on multiple occasions, always treating him with love and patience. He is loving but excitable, and Kat always knows how to calm him and provide him a happy space.”
“Very nice young woman! My Ranger seemed very calm and relaxed in her home when I went to pick him up. He is just a young pup and she was able to manage him. I was really happy with her quick response to my last minute request, it was a life saver! Would recommend!”
“Our 3 year old greyhound, Rowdy, enjoyed his day at Steve's. For Rowdy it was like getting to spend an entire day at the dog park. He had outdoor sniffing around time, indoor lounging around time (Rowdy's favorite past time) and he even got to ride in Steve's car to the nearby park! Steve is very attentive to each dog's individual needs and quirks, and he has the space for them all to be comfortable (separated, if needed) and he is there, where they can see him, for dogs with separation anxiety, like Rowdy, it's the most important. We recommend you trust your dog to Steve's care.”
“Jennie is great! Very professional. I really like that she pays attention to each dog and keeps them separated and calm until they are ready to be introduced to each other.”

“Took great care with our dog, Bella. It took no time at all for Bella to warm to Logan & get excited to see Logan arrive each day for her walks. Would recommend and use Logan as a dog walker. Good communication about arrival times too, that helped me get Bella ready for her walk ahead of time. Thank you Logan from both Bella & myself.”
About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.
“Ally is very responsive and considerate. She helped with walks and check-ins for us for a few months and was a great help! She is always really good at communicating and willing to accommodate schedule/time changes as needed.”
“We left town this time thinking we should have taken our dog but after her description of the adventures they go on, we were glad we left him home. Leaving him in a camper when we hike just did not seem fair. SO happy we booked Brittany again. And from what our in-laws tell us, our dog knows when Brittney is coming and he gets very VERY excited.”
“Jenn was great with our yellow lab Zane, she walked him every day for a week and sent great photos. She’s extremely prompt in communication and we definitely hope to utilize her services regularly!”
“Ava has been professional, dependable, and genuinely caring. She’s always punctual, communicative, and detail oriented, and I truly appreciate the photos and updates that give me peace of mind while I’m away.”
“Thomas does such a great job with both my high energy pup and her older sis! You can see the love he has for what he does. The pups are excited for his arrival every morning and ready for naps by the time he brings them back. Best decision ever 😁”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I am the person that always walks other people's dogs since they don't have the time for it. The well-being of pets, even those I don't own, is always something that I pay close attention to. I have taken care of my pregnant dog twice, helping her deliver and tending to newborn puppies. I have also taken care of sick dogs and dogs who recently had surgery, all of which was very demanding. I also rescued a cat from the street which currently lives with me. Right now I am in between jobs so I'm very free, which is why I'm very flexible and taking care of your pets will be my priority. There might be an occasional weekend once a month where I might be busy but that would the only conflicting issue. The rest of the time I will be very flexible and work with your needs. My home is mostly suitable for cats or dogs that live indoors. There's a lot of green areas right outside my home and in the community for a dog to play in but it's not a fenced yard. For a cat, my house has cat trees, litter box, plenty of toys and everything they might need. I do have a cat and a dog if your pet does good with other pets.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs!

“Vicky is the sweetest!!! She was sooo good to our senior pup mojo, even though he has issues!! She kept us updated the entire time and was we HIGHLY recommend her!! We will be using her for all our future stays!! ?”
“Gail is such a wonderful sitter for Pico. Her home and yard, as well as her lifestyle and personality suit him perfectly. I could tell he was well cared for and happy when we came to pick him up. We have already re-booked with her for a longer stay.”
“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.”
“One of my guys was recently put on medication, and I was a little worried about leaving him with a sitter. Dana was terrific about it. My boys got a so much attention and came home happy.”
“My dog Kora loves staying with Courtney and her family - she comes back rejuvenated and happy. Courtney is always top on my list for boarding. Great communication, flexibility, and very caring. 10/10.”
“Ashley was very friendly and open. She met the needs of Holly. They were very interactive with her and sent many videos. They did a wonderful job job and Holly looked happy.”
“Christina was so easy to work with and our dog Lizzie loved her. She was so conscientious about Lizzie’s care and very flexible with our changing schedule! We’ll definitely contact her again.”
“Asia was phenomenal! She is extremely considerate and accommodating. I know for sure my 3 dogs were well taken care of while in her care for boarding. I would absolutely request she sit my dogs again, and recommend her services to others.”
“We really got a good feeling from Regina, she's very caring and figured out some foods I didn't even know my dog liked to stimulate his appetite. He can be so picky! Daily pics and feedback made us feel secure that he was happy and healthy. Thank you Regina!!”
“My boy had a bit of a hard time being away from us and Julie handled it beautifully. She was constant on providing updates and taking care of his needs without a complaint. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my boy with her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“I never once felt worried while Ashton was in Michelle’s care. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. It was clear how much Ashton was genuinely cared for - my dog was happy, well-loved, and treated like their own. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can truly trust and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable puppy babysitter.”
“My high energy dog had such a great time staying with Brittani! She really makes her guests feel at home and gave him the attention and socialization that he needs.”
“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.”
“Our energetic 2 year old Golden Doodle just spent 5 glorious days with Lara and her family. Lara sent MANY photos and videos and it was clear that Clancy was having a wonderful time. He had never seen a horse before but learned to walk alongside one and also alongside their buggy pulled by a miniature horse! Going to Lara’s is like sending your dog to a 5 star resort. (I kind of wanted to stay at their beautiful home and property myself!) It was a comfort to know that Clancy was well cared for. I cannot recommend Lara enough! Clancy will be going back!”
“Dave is amazing! Our dog is super high energy and takes twice daily meds. Dave has taken care of him twice and he comes home happy, healthy, and calm! He is awesome about sending pictures and updates. He is obviously very experienced with dogs and you can tell he genuinely enjoys hanging out with them. He is the BEST!”
“The "happy dogs" enviroment Miriam has created is perfect for our very social Husky Keesha and her playmates. Each stay is like an extra long playdate for her. Now it will take a full day of sleeping it off for her to recuperate. Excellent!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have experience with different sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for a range of high energy to low energy and am happy to meet all of their needs. I am a recent graduate from the university and have not yet secured a job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I live in an apartment complex with one dog of my own (who loves other dogs). I am home most of the time so I can accommodate any number of needs for your pet easily!
