It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.”

“Loved getting the pictures while we were gone! Thank you for bringing in boxes! Felt at ease that she was checking in on the cat! Very reliable! Great and easy communication! Much appreciated!”
“2 dogs and 3 cats. Pleasant from the 1st meet & greet. Loved the photos daily. Good communication and on time for visits. It’s hard to find someone to trust, so look not further. This can be your person too. Thank you!!”
“Daizy was fantastic with my two cats. She played with them, kept their litter box clean, gave plenty of treats, and sent great photos. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Krysten was an excellent cat sitter! She was always on time and very flexible. I had to make adjustments to her schedule due to medication issues with my cat and she was very accommodating. I came home and found that my girls were very well cared for. I appreciate Krysten for watching them and I would definitely book her again!”
“Laura was great checking in on our cat! Didn't have any issues while we were gone and great communication. Everything was nice and tidy when we returned. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Dina was very reliable, caring and an effective communicator before, during and after 6-day check ins with my cat. I had full confidence in her during that time period (which included admin of medication) that my cat was well cared for. I will use Dina’s services for any future need.”
“Kimberly did a wonderful job! She sent pictures, walked the dogs, and when we came home I could tell that all the food and water had been looked after! I especially appreciated her taking the time to play with the dogs too! Definitely will hire her again!”
“Emily is a great pet sitter! As we explained to her the many complicated instructions and preferences for our anxious and needy cat, she smiled and nodded patiently. She made our nervous guy feel loved and happy and she made us feel safe to have her visit in our home while we were away. We highly recommend hiring Emily for any of your pet care needs!”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Faith perform daily visits for my best buddy, JoJo. I have used Faith several times in the past and she is without doubt my favorite cat sitter and for good reasons. The love for all animals that Faith demonstrates was obvious when I first met her. JoJo can be quite an aloof cat and Faith really goes out of her way to be sure JoJo gets the love and affection deserved. Her care allows me to enjoy my time away from home without worry. Best of all, she sends daily pics of Jojo so i can still connect with him in my mind. Quite comforting! Thanks for everything and keep on doing what you do…”
“Gibson was happy and healthy when we returned. We got cute daily photos and videos and could see he was being fed and petted. We appreciated Stevie's willingness to take on our kitty rather last minute. We had used the same sitter for 10 years but were unable to reach her and needed a replacement with very little notice. Stevie was willing to come and meet us and Gibson in advance and she was obviously a cat person and her visit made us feel comfortable. We would definitely hire her again.”
About: As a lifelong cat lover with years of hands-on experience, I understand that cats are unique creatures who deserve patient, attentive, and personalized care. I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments – from playful kittens to independent seniors and shy, anxious rescues. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and comfort with all aspects of feline care. I’m experienced in administering oral and topical medications, managing special diets, and keeping litter boxes meticulously clean (yes, I actually find it satisfying!). I also understand how to read feline body language and give cats the space or affection they need – no forced cuddles here, unless your cat insists! Whether your cat is a snuggler, a hider, or a curious explorer, I tailor my care to their personality and routine, making sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your cat is in caring, capable hands.
“Stephanie was fantastic with our kitties, Bella, Luna and Neo. We received updates and photos daily. Neo absolutely adored Stephanie and looked for her everyday. He even looked for days after our return. We would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a sitter for their cats or dogs. Thank you again Stephanie! You're the best.”

“Sonia is absolutely amazing — truly the best sitter I’ve ever had. She gave constant, thoughtful updates and showed so much love, care, and attention to my pup. She even accommodated me last minute, which meant the world. She exercises my dog and treats her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sonia”
“Michelle was wonderful, sent us pics and very observant of our special needs pup. Charli loved playing with her pup Harley! It was so funny, Charli walked in like she’d been there a million times and really I think Harley was more excited to see me at the end of the day than pur our own dog! 😂”
“Deanna and family were amazing with Toby and they were super flexible with our situation. I would take Toby to them for Day Care and/or Boarding when we are back in the area.”
“Vicki is wonderful! A real sweet and a genuine person. We got photos of our little dog Penny all day and knew she was in the best care. We will definitely be using her again when we’re in Phoenix ❤️”
About: I've lived with dogs all of my life. Friends and family have relied on me and my wife to take care of their pets many times. We have done it all, from bathing and walks to giving medication. We have a Shar Pei, Labrador mix, Nova, and she is the sweetest, non-aggressive, playful dog you'll meet. Nova gets bi-weekly social dog training so she is comfortable with new dogs and people. We would love to care for dogs that are also comfortable with children as we have two young kids. They are both comfortable with dogs and respectful of their space and varying needs. I work full-time from home and my wife works part-time. We have plenty of time to play with your pup and keep them feeling loved. We give frequent potty breaks, but please let us know if you have a specific potty schedule. We offer a lot of play time and our backyard is the best for fetch. We are available weekdays and most weekends. We look forward to taking care of your day care and boarding needs. We have a very large, fenced yard for the dogs to run and play that includes a huge grass area. We can accommodate any special exercise requests, such as walking schedules. We have two crates in our home that are available for our guests to use, but we encourage you to bring anything that may help your dog feel the most comfortable. We'd be happy to accommodate space for these items. We love to know how your dog likes to play and any special needs they may have so that we may make it the most comfortable stay for them...a home away from home!
“Thanks to Kim for always being available when we need a sitter for my Blair! Not only does she take care of her very well, she also sends plenty of pictures/videos of my furball playing at the dog park! Would definitely recommend.”
“Dina is such a wonderful caregiver! Lucy and Stella truly enjoy their time at her house. They are always so well cared for and come home happy and tired which tells me they’ve had the best day.”
About: I have been taking care of pets of all kinds my entire life. I have always had dogs and cats in our home. Currently we have a Golden Retriever, Piper, and A long Haired Siamese, Kylo, in our home. Over the last 30 years we have had 5 Golden retrievers, sometimes multiple at once, and 4 cats. Dogs and Cats give me great pleasure and are ultra important in my life. If you are a dog and cat lover then you are my kind of people. I have just recently retired and this is the perfect gig for me. They get Walked, I get walked, They Play, I play, They get loved, I get loved. I have experience with puppies, kittens, Young dogs and senior dogs. Young cats, and senior cats. I will meet the needs of your fur family and take great care. Since I am retired now, I have full availability for you and your pets. Drop-In visits, feeding, potty breaks, play time, dog walking, in-house sitting, or boarding in our home. Whatever your needs are, I am available. Give me a try. You will be very pleased. As I mentioned earlier, I have just recently retired and am a High energy completely dependable person for you and your pets. I am available at all times and days of the week. I'm perfect for this... We will develop a long term relationship so I can be there for you whenever you travel or need to be away. Your pets will get to know me and feel comfortable and won't stress when you are gone. I think it's important for pets to be in a place that they are familiar with in your home or my home. It's far better than taking them anywhere else. If friends are supposed to come over and take care of your babies, they may run over just before you get home and will not give you the care you hoped for. We know, as this has happened to us. Also, kennels are the worst. Never take them them there. I'm your guy and you will be very pleased with my service and attentiveness. Give me a try

About: *IMPORTANT SUMMER INFO* I do not walk dogs when temps are over 95 during the day. I will walk up to 100 degrees when the sun is not out (early morning or after sunset). Walks will change to drop-ins (no change in price) if temps exceed this. We are a dog loving family and welcome small to medium size dogs for doggy daycare. Pam is available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays. For daycare, we have 3 resident dogs who will welcome your pooch to the pack, so yours should be good with other dogs. Our backyard is fully fenced, with a pool that your pup can cool off in. **The dogs are fully supervised any time they have access to the pool.** Pam works solely from home and Joe works in ministry just two miles away. Our schedules allow us to show your fur baby a great time and all the love and attention it will need while you are away for the day. Please let us know if you have any questions about your pup's needs. We look forward to welcoming them to our pack! ~Pam & Joe Why I love dog sitting I grew up with cats but fell in love with dogs when I got my first one, Maggie, in my twenties. Maggie was a Sheltie and was my companion through a lot of life's ups and downs. In 2010, I adopted Snickers & Itty Bitty, a malkie and care-tzu. Maggie, Snickers and Itty Bitty all lived to 15 years old, but we would have loved many more years with them. We now have Toby, a small mixed breed who is 10, Lucky, a Maltipoo, who was rehomed to us, and Ginger, a cavapoo princess who we were blessed to find through a rescue. About my yard Our backyard is fully fenced and landscaped. We have a pool and your dog is welcome to swim, or cool off on the baja step, if they like. We have a grass side yard that is a designated potty area for the pups. Pam works part-time from home and Joe works just 2 miles away. While Pam is home working, our 3 resident fur babies are never far away, sometimes even sleeping on her lap or desk. We have a gate that keeps dogs from accessing the front door. Our front door and back doors both have security screens, so if we open the door they can't run out. Our back yard is fully fenced and double fenced on the one side that opens to the front yard/street.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I absolutely love animals especially dogs. I’ve trained all my personal dogs with basic commands. Let’s talk I’m currently retired and spend all day at home in the house and in my yard. My dogs go outside every hour for potty and play every hour unless I’m gone. I take my girls out first thing in the morning I walk out behind garage near orchard to let them go potty. They eat and then play and go back outside with me only as I don’t have fenced yard and want to be sure they go out back. They are placed in crate when I am not home for their safety and typically sleep there during the night or in bed with me. They go outside every hour to potty and run.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. Dogs and cats. My kids are grown so now all my time is spent with my fur baby. I have a female standard poodle who loves playing with other animals. I work from home and I am a supervisor. I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. I love and adore animals and wish I could fill my house with them. I have a fence yard and a fur baby to keep your fur baby company. All animals are allowed on the furniture and all up in your personal space.

About: My work background is in speech therapy/behavior with kids, which is all about sensory regulation, teaching strategies and harnessing a learner’s motivation 🐶. Friends, teachers, and neighbors have counted on me to care for their pets in the past, and when younger I cared for both my own English bulldog Darwin and partner’s Doberman, and most recently we loved our family dog Leo, an American Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix until this February. I am a small person, so walking these tough guys and handling them so well always seemed to surprise people! I work from home remotely, full time during weekdays; however I am mostly in charge of scheduling my own hour-long appointments, so I can be flexible with drop ins or walks between my appointments throughout the day. My family has a nice fenced backyard, with turf/putting holes, some rocks, and a gated pool, and with our house at the end of a quiet little street. The backyard has my container garden, a small greenhouse, and a shaded porch with patio furniture. Our home has spacious living areas, and our home is kept clean with plenty of light. I do like to go on daily walks myself, and sometimes for a run, so we could do this if that’s what your dog is used to. My 16 yr old and 4 yr old are knowledgeable, respectful, and even helpful with the animals in our care, as appropriate for their ages.
About: Returning rover sitter here! I’ve done rover for over 4 years met so many new furry friends including my soul dog in my profile pic! With Rhaegar recently passing last year I've definitely missed being around pups and am ready to help you guys out with your soul dogs! I know life can be crazy and unpredictable and sometimes your furry companion can’t be there with you so I would love to help take some stress off your shoulders with anything I can do to help ! I am a stay at home momma so I’m very flexible but also need to bring my little sidekick so I need to know that your pet is good around kids! I am very flexible with days and times just let me know a little in advance and I can definitely be there to help out! Whatever your house rules are I am more than capable of following and making sure your little one is also following while still giving them a good visit
“Kysten was excellent!! She was very thorough communicating with me about her visits. Which made me feel very comfortable to know that Bosley (who is 16) was well taken care of. Thanks again!!!”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of genuine love for animals, hands-on experience, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages – from playful puppies to wise seniors – and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need medications, slower walks, or extra patience, and I have experience with basic puppy training, including crate training, leash manners, and potty routines. I’m also a great communicator – pet parents always know how their furry friend is doing, with regular updates and photos. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup or gently caring for an older dog, I adapt my care to fit their personality and needs. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. As a college athlete, I maintain a structured and active routine — and I make pet care a priority within that. I have plenty of downtime between classes and practices, which gives me the flexibility to schedule drop-in visits, feedings, and quality playtime with your pet. I’m highly responsible with time management and always communicate my availability clearly. If I have an upcoming game or weekend away, I let clients know in advance and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care whenever I’m available — and to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my focus is always on keeping their routine consistent, their environment clean, and their comfort level high. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and litter box cleaning to medication or specific quirks your cat (or dog!) may have. I respect your home like it’s my own: I keep things tidy, secure doors and windows, and always make sure your pet has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention. I also take time to observe their behavior to make sure they’re feeling okay — especially important for shy or senior pets. If you'd like, you’ll get regular updates with photos and notes, so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make your absence as stress-free as possible — for both you and your pet.
About: My husband and I both grew up caring for animals. I have years of experience with dog walking as well as dog sitting for all different breads and sizes!

I have a more flexible routine that allows me to give pets all the love, consistency and care they deserve. We have a fenced in yard with turf and lots of walking paths surrounding our house. We also have a doggy door that is always left open for use. We have a small and medium crate if needed.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years, starting with my own fur babies and later expanding to dog and cat sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. In that time, I’ve gained hands-on experience with animal behavior, administering medications, and ensuring pets are safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is to care for both a pet’s physical and emotional needs, and I prioritize clear communication and reliability. When you choose me, you can trust that your pet will receive the attention, care, and love they deserve, giving you peace of mind while you're away. As a part-time student with most of my coursework online and just a few in-person lectures, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to your pets. This means I can offer your fur babies the attention, playtime, and care they deserve throughout the week. I always make sure to prioritize their needs and ensure I have more than enough time to give them the love and attention they need while you’re away.. I’ll care for your fur babies like they’re my own, offering plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and enrichment activities to keep them happy and engaged. Whether it’s providing mental stimulation, feeding, bathing, or taking them to vet visits (for an additional cost), I’m here to handle all their needs. You can count on me to ensure your pets feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away, with attention to every detail that matters to you and your pet.

About: I’ve had a family dog all my life but also own a crested gecko and multiple tarantulas. I absolutely adore dogs and cats, and exotics also have a special place in my heart. I can care for just about any animal! Fish included I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to come and play with any animals! I’m available almost anytime during the week. I’m good with dogs, cats, and other animals of any size. I have lived with both dogs and cats so I understand what both need in terms of care and attention
About: I raised our family golden retriever from 8 weeks old who is now up in MN living with my sister! She is like my baby, and that’s how I see animals. To me animals are not pets, they are individuals 🩵 Other than that I am looking to grow experience and just make some more animal friends! I do have intermediate experience with high level training as her purpose was to be a service dog. I am self employed, so can work from anywhere at anytime, and can fit my schedule around things very easily! Since I am my own boss, walking or stopping in to see your furry friend is a very wonderful break for me 😊 When I was raising our family’s golden retriever, there was a designated “Daisy Time” scheduled throughout the day. She got a great walk that was slow so she could smell whatever she wants, and go as long as she wanted, 10 minute training, cuddle time until she didn’t want to anymore, and focused play time for at least 20 minutes. I also always made sure she could be near me while working, and I trained her to ring a bell whenever she needed to go potty!
About: I currently have a lab mix fur baby named Boris. I've also raised a German shepherd and a Keeshond. I give Boris lots of love, walks, and trips to the dog park, and I would love to care for your fur baby the same way. I'm open to caring for your loved one with or without mine on walks or at the dog park. I also love cats and would be happy to spend time playing, cuddling, or just making sure they are well fed. I love all animals and feel I connect with them. I'm responsible, reliable, and honest. I'm looking to change my career - yes, this late in life - to do something I've always wanted to do: share my love with as many fur babies as possible. You can count on me to provide friendly, fun, and responsible care for your fur baby! I am retired. My schedule is pretty open and flexible. I walk my dog. I also do social activities in my community 2 times a week. I can walk, sit and visit, feed and water your fur babies. I'm open to extra duties inside your home. I love to pet, cuddle and play.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life. Animals are so special to me and are a great source of happiness. I've worked professionally at a zoo and a vet clinic which gave me vast knowledge in animal care and health. I am available weekdays and weekends to ensure your needs can be met. I will be starting school to become a veterinary technician and will be studying in my free time soon. This will only help me in better caring for your pets. Pets are just furry children, and they all have different wants and needs. Cuddles and pets are great, but others like their space or burning off energy. I treat your animals the same way I would want mine treated. I’d love to get to know your fur baby and make sure I provide the best care for them as individuals, and have a good time too!
About: Hi ! I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and was blessed to get my dream pup at 15 ! I will take the utmost care of your babies, whilst offering the clearest communication ! I was unexpectedly let go from a job last month, so I have a lot of free time currently. I do modeling and bartend for my other occupations, which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I will follow your lead ! What area would you like them to stay ? What routine do they follow ? I want to be a helping hand !
“Emily is the best. She takes care of my 60lb Staffy and is so good with him. He loves his walks with her. She is very knowledgeable and attentive when it comes to dogs. She is seriously a blessing when I am out of town and need someone to walk and feed my dog.”

“Kelly is so caring and took amazing care of our Toby. She was super responsive and flexible with us as we had a family emergency at the drop-off time and horrible traffic at the return time. I would strongly recommend Kelly to other dog owners that want a loving, caring home for boarding or daycare.”
“Sherrie took care of our babies very well. We had a last minute change of plans and she was very flexible and accommodating. I know the pups had a great time! We will be keeping her in mind for future bookings for sure!”
“Deanna and her family were great! I was nervous to leave my dog. She met with us prior to ease my nerves. She sent us pictures and videos while we were gone. We would definitely us her again in the future! Thank you.”
“This was our second time using her for dog boarding, and once again she was absolutely wonderful. She is kind, friendly, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during the stay. I appreciated the updates and the extra attention she gave to my senior dog. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.”
“Our flight back home was delayed and Nick & Veronica were able to extend our girls stay. They always go above and beyond to make sure our girls are taken care of!”
“Mandy was such a good sitter for our Boy! She sent us pictures and Lucky looked at ease and happy. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for there sitters in the future. I will definitely keep her as my Boy sitter.”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident leaving Scorch in such a clean and secure environment. Scorch came home happy and well taken care of, which really says it all. We'll definitely be using Chuck's services again!”
“So happy we rebooked. Genevieve, Jed and their kids take such good care of our girl. We can tell they treat her as a part of the family. So grateful to have them to watch our Peedah.”
“Stephanie is AMAZING! My pup loved the time with her. She's very quick to respond and great at communicating while you are away. Her home is very welcoming and my dog was so tired when she got home from having so much fun! She is a top choice and I look forward to boarding with her again!”
“Jackie was awesome.... we did a meet and great ahead of time to help me feel more comfortable as I have never left my dog anywhere before. I was able to see her house and how my dog interacted with the others that were ther. Jackie kept me up to date via text and pictures. I would definitely recommend her and will use again in the future...”
“This was our first time using Rover to find a dog sitter and I was very happy with how it turned out. Christina was amazing and sent pictures throughout their stay with her. Will definitely rebook with her for our future needs!”
“Francesa made us feel very comfortable about boarding our pup Gus with her. She’s very responsive and was very caring and sent us photos and updates. We’d definitely work with her again.”
“Celynda and her partner did a fabulous job taking care of Daisy. Daisy was walked, taken to dog park. She even went above and beyond by giving Daisy a bath. My absence was extended and Celynda bought extra dog food and vitamins for Daisy! No dog sitter I know has ever done that Kudos to you. Daisy played with the cat toys and Celynda bought a larger toy just like the cat toy, stuffed Lam Chop which Daisy loved. She got to bring it home I highly recommend Cylenda for dog boarding and sitting. Your dog will be better off than when you dropped it off.”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter. He replied quickly to both my boyfriend and my messages, allowed us to do a home visit, and sent regular photos and updates for our dog's 5-day stay! He took him to the park, regular walks, was extremely responsive, and even taught Scout some new tricks! Their home and dog, Shelby were amazing and I can not recommend Mitch and his wife enough!”
“I was house/dog sitting for a friend but had work stuff come up near my place which is 50 minutes away. Stephanie was amazing and helped me out of that jam over the weekend. The pup was more crestfallen when I picked him up + brought him home than he was nervous when I dropped him off, so now I’m insecure that he seems to like Stephanie more than me 😳 I will absolutely be booking with Stephanie again in the future if I have another situation like that! (My friend is and was aware that I used Rover. I am not as bad at friendship as I am at dog sitting) Thank you so much for the awesome care, Stephanie!!!!! ❤️”
“Supoya and Kalina were awesome! Albie last sitter had to cancel last minute and we were rushing to find someone. Albie can be a little anxious but they were great with him. I got tons of updates. He got playtime with their great puppy, and his first beach hangout. They were great with him!”
“EXCEPTIONAL! This is our second time having Alondra board Maggie. This time though was last minute and an emergency. Alondra was available and made Maggie feel at home. The photos she sent were proof Maggie was safe and sound based on the smiles on her face! We went from desperate to peaceful with the safe setting Alondra provides and the loving care she has while caring for our sweet Maggie. THANK YOU!”
