“Ron, Canoli, and Lili take the best care of my dog Maisie! She feels right at home and gets an incredible amount of attention and love. Finding Ron and his girls is the best thing that has happened to me and Maisie.”
“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.”
“Kat was great and very patient when we didn’t know how to use this app, and our flight was delayed overnight, and I’m sure we made the whole deal annoying for her, but she was kind and patient and very responsive to communication. And Paris really seemed to enjoy being there and playing with her dogs. Thank you, Kat!!”
“We love Beth! She is a super prompt communicator and loves our dogs so well. We feel confident leaving the dogs with her, knowing full well they will be cared for.”
“Vickie did an exceptional job with our 3 fur babies. She was loving and attentive to our dogs needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and caring environment to leave their pups.”
“Gail is wonderful! She watched my little dog for just under a week. He took to her immediately. She had a few other dogs onsite which was great. I highly recommend her :)”
“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.”
“Another great stay with Sylvie. Our two Pomeranians love to visit with Sylvie. Sylvie as always provides our little ones with love and comfort. When we pick up they are calm and rested. We love having Sylvie take care of our furry ones.”
“I am so grateful we found Christina to watch our German Shorthair Pointer, Pepper. Pepper doesn’t get along with other dogs, since she will only take one client at a time this was ideal! I loved the daily pictures and videos, I could see that Pepper enjoyed staying with her and her husband. They spoiled her, treated her like she was their own. We will definitely use Christina again for future care!”
“Julie watched out dog over two consecutive weekends. Our dog often gets separation anxiety so we appreciated having someone present most of her stay. By the second weekend our dog was visibly excited when we arrived. Would highly recommend.”
“Barbara was attentive to every need be it dietary, emotional or methods to make my cherished dog at ease. When I returned to pick him up there was not the over anxious exuberance to see me which told me that he was at complete ease in Barbara’s home. This was the first time in ten years where I have felt no angst leaving him. Thank you for caring and loving him like your own!”
“Daniel is fantastic! He’s recently watched our dog twice and is very communicative and accommodating. We had a flight cancellation and he was able to book another night no problem. We’re so glad to have someone we feel safe leaving our little guy with. Thanks!”
“She was really flexible with drop off / pick up times! Great communication and I really loved the cute picture of Karma she sent! She clips her own tag to the puppers collar for addition safety and peace of mind which I really appreciated!!”
“This is our 5th or 6th visit and Kona always looks a little disappointed that she has to come home. Gets lots of walks and friendly dogs to visit with. Sitter very easy to communicate with and will continue to be our first call when we head out of town.”
“This was the first time to leave our baby and Brittani put us at ease. Her pet and breakfast was great. Pepper was happy to see us but came home and slept She is a very high energy pup and was worn out She can’t wait to go back”
“Such a great and flexible couple. My dog enjoyed his stayed and we had such a peace of mind leaving him with Jeannette and Richard. We had to add an extra day due to a change of plans and they were able to accommodate and so nice. This was our first time using Rover.com. Jeannette and Richard sure made this first experience so wonderful for us that we will return to this service and use again - of course our preference is ALWAYS to first see if Jeannette and Richard are available. : )”
“Katarina was fantastic, she was responsive, communicated and sent pictures very often which we appreciated. She made our timid dog feel comfortable which is always great. We will definitely book with her again! The price was also very good and fair which was very good as well.”

“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!”
“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!”
“Heidi is great with the cat, communicates really well, clarifies and asks questions, and goes above and beyond. I feel comfortable leaving two of the most important things in my life to her when I travel.”
“Xochitl was amaaazing with my cat. I needed visits daily for a week, and they took great care of Zackie. In the photos of their visits, my cat was rubbing up against their foot in only a couple of days. Would recommend! 11/10”
About: I didn’t get to take care of cats growing up, but it made seeking out cat sitting for friends so much more rewarding. I have seen cat personalities all across the spectrum, from not even being comfortable in the same room as people to being a floppy teddy bear in my arms, I honestly just care about experiencing your pet(s) and giving them the best time away from their parents. Having 6 cats, my partner and I have navigated so many situations that I feel confident entering new households prepared for the best and the worst.
“Terri did a fantastic job of taking care of my kitties, including sorting out issues with the automatic litter box and water fountain. She even put my bins out to the street on trash pick-up day. She was great!”
“Pamela is a warm, kind, and empathetic sitter who fully devotes herself to caring for the pets she watches. She is reliable and responsive and has helped me in many a last-minute pinch with nothing but grace. If I could give her ten stars, I would!”
“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: 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!
“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.”
“Beth took exceptional care of my pup! She sent us a photo update and was able to accommodate our late pick up time. I will definitely be using Beth again!”
“We are so grateful to have connected with Lesley. She is a remarkable human being and she treated our Edith with so much love and care. Already looking forward to their next day together. Can not thank you enough, Lesley. Blessings and peace to you.”
About: I've loved dogs my whole life! When I was born my mom had a chocolate lab and a doberman. Then my dad got a rescue pitbull and a husky mix. Right now my family has a mini golden doodle who's been with us for 14 years and a mini Aussie doodle. I also have a pitbull mix named nova! She's two years old. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t like me! I just graduated esthetician school and I’m currently starting my business. Everything I make on rover goes towards my career! Im currently starting my entrepreneurial journey. Right now I’m a full time pet care giver. I also work a weekend night job. I do not have a set schedule so I have open availability. I prefer to care for pets in my home but I’m always happy to accommodate whatever the client needs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for play and accessible paths for walks. During sittings I make sure to not only take great care of the pet but the clients home as well.
“Melissa is amazing! Our pup took to her instantly and seemed happy and comfortable really quickly. Mellisa is great about sending pictures and a little report card at the end of a stay. She is a kind, organized and it’s obvious how good she is with animals! Highly, highly recommend her!!”
“Wonderful sitter, thank you Ashley! Coco warmed up to her and the other dogs quickly. She sent me videos regularly so I was confident that she'a doing fine. Will definitely recommend Ashley as a dog sitter.”
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!!
“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.”
“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!”
“Steve was great! He was very attentive to the dogs. It was Shiloh’s first time attending daycare. He got home and was zapped from the walk and playtime with the other dogs. Steve also gave some good recommendations for the future. I also like the pictures I received throughout the visit letting me know how Shiloh was doing. TY.”
“Marley really enjoyed spending the day with Julie and the other pups! He seemed very happy when I picked him up! I felt very comfortable leaving him with Julie, and will definitely be booking with her again in the near future! Thank you so much for loving my baby Julie ♥️”
“Jennie is a great host, my dog had a great time at daycare and boarding. Jennie introduces the dogs carefully, makes sure they all get along and took extra care to make sure my dog ate well and stayed on his medications. I can't recommend Jennie enough, particularly if yu have a small dog.”

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.
“Logan responded quickly to my request to walk my dog while I was gone over labor day weekend. Logan was easy to communicate with and my dog was very well taken care of!”
About: Hi! I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of official pet-sitting experience. From family and friends' pets to Rover clients, I've always loved providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every dog. While I took a break from actively booking through Rover for a few years, I'm excited to be back and look forward to meeting new pets and their owners. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday and work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing for extra attention and flexibility those days. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll treat them like part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work full time from 9am-5pm Monday - Friday. Mondays and Fridays are work-from-home days, so I am available to give extra attention to any pets in my care. I am up early and stay up moderately late, so I can accommodate early morning or nighttime walks that avoid the heat. I have a very friendly Australian Shepherd that loves to play with other dogs. Our home is multi-level, so best for dogs that are physically comfortable going up and down stairs. Our location has a lot of areas for walks, and park play, which is a part of our routine whenever watching a client in our home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I make every effort to mimic any routines they are used to. This assists in helping dogs feel safe and comfortable, and leads to a better overall experience. I am a very clean person, so it is important to me to keep others' spaces that way as well.
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! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.
About: Former Bostons and Frenchie dad. Professional zoomies partner, snub nose butt wiper, and eye booger cleaner. They snore and so do I, plus all farts can be blamed on them too! If you need a dog sitter for a Frenchie or Boston hit me up. I am semi-retired and work a part-time remote job as an hobby. This provides me a very flexible schedule. Let me know what your needs are and I can probably make it work. I'll treat your dog as if it were my dog. Couch time, walks, and zoomies time. If needed, I'll even wipe their butts after poops or belly after they pee haha, IYKYK. I’m semi-retired and work a part-time remote job as a hobby. I like to pet sit Frenchies and Bostons and will have plenty of free time to ensure your dog is cared for. I’ll care for your pets as if they are my own. I’m choosing to partner with Rover because I love dogs, not because I need money. I want to ensure they have an enjoyable experience while you are away.
About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!
“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!”
“Mikayla is very reliable and professional. Luke has enjoyed his long walks. It usually takes a few walks for him to relax with a new person walking him but he seems to have taken a quick liking to Mikayla!”

About: I have been a babysitter for 5 years and during that time have taken up dog walking and cat/dog sitting for the families I babysat for.

I am vigilant with pets so no escaping on my watch, I love animals so I am very attentive. I have owned multiple pets of my own as well.

About: My whole life has been around animals including 2-3 dogs in my household, caring for a guinea pig, and loving on my friends’ cats. We raised several dogs from 6 week old puppies to their senior years. Since moving out on my own I have had the opportunity to dog sit for all ages of pups. I have also always taken a special interest in volunteering at local animal shelters. I would love the chance to look after and love your animal like my own. I recently moved to the area and have time before my program starts. My days are all about learning the area and preparing for classes so my availability is extremely flexible. Would also love to build relationships that can continue once my program starts and I can be a regular part of your pets life. I have reliable transportation and can be available most times of day. Not currently offering in home service but could be flexible for returning clients!
About: i’ve grown up with animals my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. i really think there’s no better feeling than the joy and companionship animals bring, and i’d love the opportunity to care for yours. over the years, family and friends have trusted me to look after their dogs while they’re away, and i always ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. i grew up with my brother, who is a professional dog trainer, and while i don’t have the same level of training, i’ve learned so much from him over the years. i can help reinforce simple commands with puppies and younger dogs, and i’m just as happy giving extra love, patience, and attention to senior dogs. i have experience living with and caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, so i’m confident i can meet the needs of every dog and their unique personality. i especially love spending time with high energy dogs who enjoy playing or going on walks, but i’m always happy to adjust my care to whatever makes your pet feel happiest and most comfortable. i am a college student at the university of arizona and am pretty flexible with my schedule. i can do really early mornings before class and most afternoons after class. i am also very open on the weekends and would love to help out whenever needed!!! i always make it a priority to pay attention to your pets’ needs and personalities so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. i love spending time with animals and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and playtime they need throughout the day. i also love the calmer moments, like relaxing with them, giving them extra affection, or simply keeping them company when it’s time to wind down. i spend a lot of time with my own animals at home, making sure they receive the care, attention, and love they need to be happy, and i would love the opportunity to provide that same level of care to your pets.

About: Hello I’m Karinnah! I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant at an urgent care clinic. I got my VA certification from Pima Medical Institute in 2022 and have worked at multiple clinics over the last 4 years. I also have work history at a couple different boarding/daycare facilities prior to becoming a VA. I am very familiar with boarding, daycare, and veterinary environments so rest assured, your 4-legged pal is in responsible hands. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, cats, and other little beasties, nothing is too out of the ordinary for me these days. I grew up with many pups and kitties in my life so it’s a familiar feeling having animals around constantly. As a CVA I have professional training in general, emergency, intensive veterinary care so I am able to adjust to any of your pets medical needs if necessary. I am also a pet parent myself with 2 crazy dogs and 1 spicy cat and understand how important getting proper care for them is. My clinic is open weekdays from 3-11pm and weekends 10am-8pm. I am off on Saturday, Wednesday, and Thursdays typically. I can probably take bookings earlier in the day on days I work with enough notice. Whatever setup you have in your home I am willing to work with, it’s all about your buddy’s comfort and your peace of mind! If you have a reactive or aggressive dog I’m willing to do house calls. Any feeding or medication accommodations are fine with me as well.

“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.”

“I am so grateful we found Christina to watch our German Shorthair Pointer, Pepper. Pepper doesn’t get along with other dogs, since she will only take one client at a time this was ideal! I loved the daily pictures and videos, I could see that Pepper enjoyed staying with her and her husband. They spoiled her, treated her like she was their own. We will definitely use Christina again for future care!”

“This is our 5th or 6th visit and Kona always looks a little disappointed that she has to come home. Gets lots of walks and friendly dogs to visit with. Sitter very easy to communicate with and will continue to be our first call when we head out of town.”
“This was the first time to leave our baby and Brittani put us at ease. Her pet and breakfast was great. Pepper was happy to see us but came home and slept She is a very high energy pup and was worn out She can’t wait to go back”
“Dana exceeded all of our expectations while taking care of our senior dog. Our dog has mobility problems and also requires medication.

I would definitely recommend Dana to watch and care for your pet.”

She was very communicative, flexible, and we received lots of photos while traveling. Her own dogs and family are also very sweet. Would use her again anytime!”
“Our cat, Reggie is no picnic. He is old and a bit cranky; he complains a lot and loudly. Julia took care of him for three weeks while we were abroad. We could not have been happier with her care for Reggie. Highly recommend.”
“We booked Lara again to watch our pup Rocky and had another great experience! She kept us updated with pictures and videos, and we could tell he had the best time and was well taken care of!! She has a great property with tons of space and our pup got lots of exercise and got to play with a bunch of other dogs! Would book again and HIGHLY recommend!!”
