“This is our third time having Mary board our cats and we’ll definitely be continuing to use her! Mary takes great care of our cats and we appreciate how much time she spends hanging out with them while they’re with her. The boarding space is beautifully set up with all the things a cat could want: big window with a cat tree for bird watching, toys, cozy spots to hide, wall mounted platforms, and much more! Mary has a ton of cat experience so we always breathe a sigh of relief when she’s watching them because we know they’re in such good hands. We highly recommend Mary if you’re looking for somewhere to board your cats!”
“Robin and Dan are very warm, caring and obvious dog lovers. They took Nora in with open arms and were very accommodating when it comes to her quirks. They sent many updates, photos and videos. I could tell Nora felt instantly at home with them and knew she would be well taken care of. Robin and I had thorough conversations before her stay on Nora’s specific needs and traits which mad me feel at ease. Nora was very happy and content when we picked her up and didn’t seem to want to leave! We would love for Robin and Dan to take care of Nora in the future”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“Our dogs came back super calm and content after their stay with Peter and his family and dogs. I appreciated coordinating pick up and drop offs as well as getting pictures and updates throughout the stay! We look forward to using them on our next trips.”
About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away. Though I recently had to be separated from my own dog, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so I know how to give them attention, comfort, and fun. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every dog like a part of the family. I’d love to meet your pup and provide the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I work from home in a pet-friendly community, so your dog will get plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention all day. I have a flexible schedule if provided with enough notice. I prioritize safety, trust, and a happy environment for every dog. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your pup will have my full attention! I provide walks, cuddles, and supervision in a secure, pet-friendly space. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your rules and routines exactly, treating your dog and your home with the same love and respect I would my own.
“Sameer is a very nice guy who is very caring about pets. We left our pet with him for 2 nights. Our pet was very comfortable in her stay and she was happy when she returned back. We will definitely recommend Sameer and will leave our pet with him next time as well.”
“Clara was the perfect dog sitter for Jake. After relying on the same sitter for the past 8 years, we were reluctant to look for a new sitter once our regular dogsitter discontinued her service because our dog is such a creature of habit. But we needn't have had concerns. Clara was extremely attentive to Jake's needs, followed our instructions to a "T" and provided a wonderful environment to explore in her lovely backyard while her own dog, Diego, proved to be a sweet companion for Jake to play with. Clara was extremely commuicative and sent us photos and videos several times a day so we could be reassured that he was being well cared for. In short, we give Clara our highest recommendation and look forward to her becoming our regular dog sitter.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs including my own senior Shih Tzu for 14 years. I currently offer daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight boarding, and in-home pet sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and calm presence they need while their owners are away. I also make sure pets stay on their usual schedule as much as possible so they feel safe and settled. Whether it’s a quick visit during the day, a walk to get energy out, or staying overnight, I focus on being reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. About my schedule: Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am available full-time. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, consistent and attentive care while ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. We have a large fenced balcony at first floor. Also a big area in our community with natural grass perfect for play and potty breaks.
“Jonathan and Tatiana were great for our dog! We had a last minute need and they rescued us in the eleventh hour. We are so grateful for their family and the care they showed our dog. They took him to the park everyday and sent updates every evening for the week he was with them. I would highly recommend anyone boarding with them. I won’t even waste my time looking for a different sitter in the future, they are my go to!”
“Xue and her family were great! They provided a safe and loving home for Koda while we were away. She was professional and also proactive in providing us updates and pictures. I will for sure go back to Xue for any future boarding needs.”
“We had a super last-minute trip come up and Dyan was amazing. She was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our dog while we were gone. Her kids loved him and gave him tons of attention, which he clearly loved. He got multiple walks every day, and we received lots of updates that made us feel totally at ease. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good hands. We’d absolutely book with Dyan again and are really grateful she was available on short notice.”
“Bella is the love of my life. She is my first and only baby. She has had some medical challenges in the past where we almost lost her. She’s stayed in kennels before when we’ve gone on vacation and always came back trembling and scared. With Shawna, she wags her tail and runs right up to her to stay! So grateful we found her.”
“Cindy has an awesome family that took care of my boy for a weekend. She’s great with sending pictures and giving dogs all the love they need. Definitely would book again!”
“Svetlana and her husband were amazing once again! We felt so at ease knowing Mocha was staying with them. They truly loved on her as if she was their own which made us so happy! We got frequent updates and Mocha came back rested and happy.”
“What a great family and dog sitters!!!!! The kids know hope to care and lead dogs. Hoada and Fawzi are warm, calm and welcoming. The trust and confidence in dog care is solid. A great spot for dog care!”
“So happy to have Susan watch our 2 Boston Terrier’s. We were in contact before and during their stay, she sent photos and nightly updates which I appreciated. She has many walking trails near her well kept home and a small outside area that the dogs loved to sun bathe. I would definitely trust Susan with our dogs next time we need help!”

“Ayla took care of our two cats once again, and as always, she did an amazing job. She was always on time for every visit and handled giving medication to one of our cats with great care and confidence. After each visit, she sent us a detailed update along with photos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We truly appreciated her reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. We wholeheartedly recommend Ayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Lollipop and Nicole made fast friends during our spring break holidays and we couldn’t be more pleased! Nicole communicated frequently and we always felt she was safe and happy. Nicole gets our highest recommendation.”
“Jordan took care of our 2 cats for a week when we went away on vacation. He was really on top of things, responsible and reliable. He sent us photos daily by text to assure us everything was happening according to plan. He’s really nice too. I highly recommend him!”
“My cats warmed right up to Demi! It was a great peace of mind having her stay in my home with them so they wouldn't be bored or lonely with an empty house while I was away on a weekend trip. Demi was communicative and sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had cats as part of my life for many years, including my family cat, who was with us from the time I was one year old until I was 21. Growing up with a cat gave me a deep understanding of their unique personalities, body language, and individual needs. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and affectionate, while others prefer their space and routine. I always take the time to earn a cat’s trust, respect their boundaries, and provide calm, attentive care. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and affection or simply needs a reliable caregiver to maintain their routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hello, friend!!! I have been housesitting and caring for other's pets, homes, and gardens since my teen years. As a writer I spend a lot of time working from home, meaning that I will largely be available throughout the day to give your cats all the attention they need and ease the discomfort of having their loved one (you!) away for a while. I am a very affectionate and thoughtful person. Staying attuned to a cat's needs comes naturally for me as it brings me fulfillment as well. I absolutely love giving cats as many cuddles and pets as possible, but can also give space to more skittish cats. Cats are my absolute favorite - I have had a cat as a companion in every stage of my life and cared for many more. Other pets I have owned and cared for include smaller pets such as goldfish, bearded dragons, hermit crabs, snakes, and tarantulas. I have great respect for what a home means and treat every space I am in with reverence, keeping it clean and cared for. I also have light experience gardening and am comfortable watering a mass of plants! I have housesat several locations that have an entire array of potted plants. I always make sure they are well tended to and kept as lively as ever! A little bit about me - I am a 35 year old writer and performance artist. (They/them pronouns). I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, and attended college in Santa Fe, New Mexico where I received my BA in Creative Writing and Literature. I remained in the beautiful high desert for close to a decade in earlier adulthood. The culture and gorgeous landscapes of both Northern California and New Mexico have deeply informed who I am. I've also worked in childcare and children's entertainment. Being a caretaker has always come naturally to me and often brings me a sense of fulfillment. Some of my favorite activities (other than writing and performing) are hiking, reading, dancing, reading tarot, and making art. Any of my close loved ones will tell you I am a calm, kind, humorous, intelligent, and thoughtful person who approaches all things in life from the heart and with great intention. I can't wait to meet you and give your beloved pets the attention and love they deserve while you go on your next great adventure!
About: Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication, or simply a calm and reliable person to keep them company, I'll provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own cats. My goal is to make sure your cat stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”
About: Hello! My name is Elise and I’m a dog walker with lots of personal pet training experience that specializes with reactive dogs both large and small. Just give me a list of things your pup may struggle with or that you want them to learn and I will do my best to help them learn to emotionally regulate on walks, around other dogs and people, or just while at home when I’m pet sitting :). I can also write you progress reports and training that should be continued at home for the best results. I can also offer my help to older dogs or dogs with arthritis or other joint/muscle issues. I am a certified personal trainer and a lot of the things I’ve learned about human muscles and pain relief also apply to puppy bodies. Disclaimers: I do not take dogs on off leash walks unless it’s at a private gated property I do not walk multiple dogs in one session as this will often cause/increase reactivity. Depending on how reactive your dog is, how new they are to walks, and how strong they are, I strongly suggest having a muzzle and, in severe cases, may require that they have one for a session. I can always help recommend the most comfortable one for your pet as my 90 lb dog needed one for walks in the beginning of training and still needs it for vet trips :) I taught her that it’s not a punishment and desensitized her to it by associating it with positive things like treats and now she helps me put it on her. I work from 6 am - 9 am every weekday morning and have therapy on Wednesdays at 10. Outside of that, my other commitments are flexible and my main focus is on building my clientele here on rover :) I plan on fulfilling any need/chore my client’s owner lists for me and I offer free training when wanted. Outside of that, I pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and potty/feeding schedule to ensure they are fed on time, let out for potty, taken out for walks, and played with as needed and in a way that is most fulfilling for their breed. For example, I play herding games for herding breeds, lots of training and learning tricks for working breeds, etc. I also love to help dogs with arthritis or other joint/muscle issues by massaging them. I am a certified personal trainer and a lot of the things I’ve learned about human muscles and pain relief also apply to puppy bodies.
About: As a proud cat owner of four, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Caring for multiple cats has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and recognizing changes in behavior that could indicate something isn't quite right. I'm comfortable caring for shy, independent, and social cats, and I know the importance of letting them warm up at their own pace. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or just needs someone to keep their routine consistent, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat with someone else because I'd want the same level of care for my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in good hands.
About: With 15 years of experience as a veterinary technician and over three decades of personal feline care, I bring a deeply informed and compassionate approach to cat handling. My extensive background provides me with an advanced understanding of feline behavior and psychology. This expertise allows me to connect with cats through a patient, gentle, and soft-spoken approach, ensuring they feel secure and well-understood in any environment.
“I loved having Elizabeth check on my babies while I traveled for the holidays. She was very kind and communicative! I felt she was very personable, yet still professional. I felt at ease knowing they were being cared for by Elizabeth. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: Cats have a special way of stealing our hearts, and mine certainly did! ❤️ As an experienced cat owner, I know that building trust takes patience and understanding. I’ll provide plenty of love, enrichment, fresh food and water, litter box care, and updates with photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your kitty is in good hands.
About: I have tons of experience taking care of doggies!! I’ve raised tons of puppies, whelped many litters and raised them from birth, taken care of many puppies and taken care of many adults young and old, taken care of sick dogs and older dogs who required higher levels of medical care/medications/ointments etc, worked as a dog groomer at a high volume Petco salon for 9 years, worked as a vet groomer for a year, worked in a private salon for 2 years, worked as mobile groomer since 2019, with altogether over 19 years experience as a groomer. I also show my dogs in AKC conformation. I’ve been a multi dog owner for 25 years. Pretty much my whole life is dogs! I am fully dedicated to providing care for dogs. I can become very flexible as needed, depending on what a client is looking for. Currently my schedule is pretty open and I’m looking for long term and short term pet care jobs I can add to it. I pay a lot of attention to detail and try to follow instructions to the t. I provide the same high level of care for the pets of others as I do for my own pets.
“This was our first time having Daryl house sit and watch our cat Samantha. Daryl was extremely communicative and planning was a breeze. We got great photos of Samantha throughout his stay. We did a shorter stay to have Samantha get used to someone new as she has not been too good with new people lately. Overall things seemed to go very well and Samantha was even approaching Daryl by the end (big for us). He took his time to let her come to him but still kept up all her care! We will be using Daryl again this month for a longer stay!”
About: I have experiences with Senior care and basic training for puppies. I watch their body languages carefully to know when to pause a play and what they need from me :) Leia and I usually go for a walk in the morning, around 5 in the afternoon and quick bathroom break before going to bed. I work from home most of the time so id love to help to care for another dog so they’re not depressed alone at home whole the parents are off to earn money for their their pawbills 😝 I help to care for friends dogs when they need and I feed them together but separately so they don’t get food aggressive. I also monitor toys so it doesn’t create fights. Because I have Leia, I know the struggle and guilt feelings when you have vacation planned and need to leave the pup. I try my best to give lots of updates and pics so the humans can enjoy their time away as well.

“Shuvashna helped with a last minute appointment. She sent me pics of Cassius throughout the day and I could tell he was having a ball. He got home, ate and promptly went to sleep. I already rebooked for another day. Thank you so much!”
“Shawna and her family did a great job taking care of our pup, Todd! We just moved to the area, and I was nervous about leaving my baby at home alone in a new place while I went to work. Shawna and her doggy daycare service put my mind at ease. She was extremely accommodating, allowing Todd to arrive extra early in the morning and sending updates throughout the day. Thanks, Shawna and family! Todd and I appreciate you!”
“Xue was able to take care of my puppy and meet on very short notice! My pup had the opportunity to play with other dogs and she sent pictures and videos throughout the day :) thanks so much!”
“Cindy was a lifesaver during my stressful workweek. She took care of Panda and made sure she felt loved and comfortable. She kept me updated throughout the day and knew I’d be off later and was flexible with my schedule - absolutely fantastic! I had regular updates with Panda being spoiled with love by her girls. I’ll definitely use her again when I need a sitter. Thanks a million!”
“Pluto came back home so happy, relaxed, and full of smiles after spending the day with Dylan and his pups! 😊.. Dylan kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, so we knew how Pluto was doing.. Thank you again for taking care of him—we really appreciate it!”
“Dina, Gil, their daughter, and Waffles were such kind and thoughtful hosts to Cooper! They followed directions carefully, asked great questions, and made sure he was well cared for. I would happily recommend them to anyone.”
“She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life caring for many different breeds and personalities. Most recently I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback but have also had Labradors and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in the past. I work from home and am only gone for a 1-3 hours during the day. My wife works from home and will be with the dog to keep them company. I have 2 kids aged 2 and 4 who are home after 5:30pm and all day on the weekend I have a fenced in yard with grass and plenty of room for the dog to roam. Dogs are allowed on our couch and bed as well.
“My first time booking with Angela and Josh, they seem experienced and have a great backyard setup with plenty of space, sun, shade, good fencing. Flexible for drop off and pickups. I can see they are very attentive to their canine guests.”
“Aubrey's such an amazing sitter! My shy dog who struggles with separation anxiety loves going to daycare with Aubrey. She literally runs out of the car and doesn't even look back. The peace of mind means the world as does the fact that she comes home exhausted from all the fun!”
“Jing’s place was nice and clean. The front yard had several safety gates available so it reassured me my puppy wouldn’t run off into the street as young dogs can get excited. It was our puppy’s first time going to doggy daycare so I also didn’t know what to expect. We provided our dog food, which he didn’t eat because he doesn’t typically eat during the time we booked but wanted to make sure he had a backup in case needed. My puppy is house trained so I asked if he had any accidents, Jing stared he didn’t. He also had some time outside in the fenced backyard to sniff and play.”
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! Right now, I am a stay at home dog mom who is always training and working my dog. I have a highly flexible schedule and would love to help you out! I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!
“Tatiana is a nice, sweet, and pleasant lady. She welcomed us even though I was late for a scheduled drop off time. She answered my questions right away and I understood how she spent her day with Tatiana’s care. She took my dog out to the park and walked her around the park. I know my dog enjoyed staying with her because she seemed tired when I picked her up and went to sleep right after we got home.”
“Houda & Fawzi and their lovely family were fantastic with Zoe (3yo pit bull). Their children are amazing with the dogs and there’s so much of their property to roam for Zoe. Zoe was exhausted, well fed and much loved when she came home. Thanks!”
“I couldn’t be more impressed with Brenda. You can tell she really cares about the dogs in her care! My pup has been going through some medical issues & Brenda was so kind & supportive with him. I got pictures & videos throughout the day which I love! I’d definitely book again. 🤍”

“Continue to be so appreciative of Carolyn. She responded to a last minute request for all day care when we were really in a pinch. I was able to rest easy while our dog had an incredibly fun day. He is always so over the moon to see her. As a pet parent, it's so reassuring to see her true love and devotion for animals. Thank you again!!”
“Matthew was absolutely amazing with my Bear. I was initially a little nervous to hear how the first walk went given my dog’s fondness of squirrels.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.
“Kim was extremely nice to our pets and did a great job with the dog walk. Her Rover card included a detailed description of their walk and the photos were appreciated. 10/10!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, especially those who need patience, structure, and understanding. I have a strong background in caring for both young, high-energy dogs and senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. Over the years, I’ve adopted and cared for shelter dogs, including one of my most meaningful experiences: transforming my 3-year-old German Shepherd who came from an abusive and neglected background. She was fearful, submissive, and untrained when I first brought her home. Through consistent training, positive reinforcement, and a calm, stable environment, she gradually became a confident, obedient, affectionate, and deeply trusting companion. She is now 15 years old and remains a living example of the patience and care I bring to every animal I work with. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust with nervous or reactive dogs, and adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a young dog learn structure and good habits or providing comfort and routine for senior dogs, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and balanced environment where every pet feels secure and understood. I pick up shifts bartending but I cant adjust my schedule around sitting others dogs. I will be free when needed so no worries there. I have a nice size balcony but that the dogs can hangout on if they would like but i also take my girl out often.
About: As a dedicated dog parent myself, my unique strengths include senior dog care, dog walking and providing a calm home environment along with custom routines. Pet care is already a core part of my daily rhythm. As a dog parent myself, I start and end most days with walks, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my schedule rather than competing with it. Since I'm currently a homemaker, I have flexible, consistent availability throughout the week — including mornings, midday, and afternoons — which means I can offer reliable, on-time walks rather than squeezing them in around a 9-to-2. I'm looking to build dog walking into a regular part of my week: it keeps me active, gets me outdoors, and lets me connect with neighbors and other pet parents in the community. Because I understand the responsibility of caring for a dog firsthand — from reading their energy level to knowing when they need a slower pace or extra water breaks — I bring the same attentiveness to dogs in my care that I'd want for my own. For dog walking, I focus on safety, routine, and attentiveness. When I arrive at a client's home, I take time to greet the dog calmly and let them warm up to me before heading out, especially on a first visit. During the walk, I keep dogs on a secure leash, follow the pace and route that suits their energy level and age, and stay alert to their body language, other animals, traffic, and weather conditions. I always bring water for longer walks, clean up after the dog every time, and make sure collars, harnesses, and gates are securely fastened before and after each visit. Once the walk is done, I make sure the dog has fresh water available, lock up the home securely, and send the owner a quick update — including photos when I can — so they know their pet is happy and cared for. Because I'm a dog owner myself, I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want someone to treat mine: with patience, close attention, and respect for their individual personality and needs.

Just give me a list of things your pup may struggle with or that you want them to learn and I will do my best to help them learn to emotionally regulate on walks, around other dogs and people, or just while at home when I’m pet sitting :). I can also write you progress reports and training that should be continued at home for the best results. I can also offer my help to older dogs or dogs with arthritis or other joint/muscle issues. I am a certified personal trainer and a lot of the things I’ve learned about human muscles and pain relief also apply to puppy bodies. Disclaimers: I do not take dogs on off leash walks unless it’s at a private gated property I do not walk multiple dogs in one session as this will often cause/increase reactivity. Depending on how reactive your dog is, how new they are to walks, and how strong they are, I strongly suggest having a muzzle and, in severe cases, may require that they have one for a session. I can always help recommend the most comfortable one for your pet as my 90 lb dog needed one for walks in the beginning of training and still needs it for vet trips :) I taught her that it’s not a punishment and desensitized her to it by associating it with positive things like treats and now she helps me put it on her. I work from 6 am - 9 am every weekday morning and have therapy on Wednesdays at 10. Outside of that, my other commitments are flexible and my main focus is on building my clientele here on rover :) I plan on fulfilling any need/chore my client’s owner lists for me and I offer free training when wanted. Outside of that, I pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and potty/feeding schedule to ensure they are fed on time, let out for potty, taken out for walks, and played with as needed and in a way that is most fulfilling for their breed. For example, I play herding games for herding breeds, lots of training and learning tricks for working breeds, etc. I also love to help dogs with arthritis or other joint/muscle issues by massaging them. I am a certified personal trainer and a lot of the things I’ve learned about human muscles and pain relief also apply to puppy bodies.
About: I have tons of experience taking care of doggies!! I’ve raised tons of puppies, whelped many litters and raised them from birth, taken care of many puppies and taken care of many adults young and old, taken care of sick dogs and older dogs who required higher levels of medical care/medications/ointments etc, worked as a dog groomer at a high volume Petco salon for 9 years, worked as a vet groomer for a year, worked in a private salon for 2 years, worked as mobile groomer since 2019, with altogether over 19 years experience as a groomer. I also show my dogs in AKC conformation. I’ve been a multi dog owner for 25 years. Pretty much my whole life is dogs! I am fully dedicated to providing care for dogs. I can become very flexible as needed, depending on what a client is looking for. Currently my schedule is pretty open and I’m looking for long term and short term pet care jobs I can add to it. I pay a lot of attention to detail and try to follow instructions to the t. I provide the same high level of care for the pets of others as I do for my own pets.
About: I have always been in the childcare and education field, and the last few years has brought me to the world of dog sitting! Dogs tend to become very comfortable with me right away! I wake up early for walks, and your pup will receive about 3 per day, including lots of ball and toy tosses and tons of love and attention! I live in a condo with a spacious living room for plenty of play and to keep crates and beds. Walks are always leashed. Pups are allowed on the couch and in bed. Snuggles are very important!

About: I grew up with two dogs, so I’ve been surrounded by wagging tails, happy zoomies, and endless cuddles since I was little. Now I’m also a proud cat parent—which means I’m equally comfortable with playful pups and independent little feline bosses 😄 I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet wants a long walk, an energetic play session, a quiet companion, or lots of belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work fully from home and have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to adjust my day around feeding times, playtime, walks, litter box care, and check-ins. For drop-in visits, I’ll coordinate with you in advance to choose a time that works best for both you and your pet. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box care, or any other needs. I’ll also make sure your home is secure before I leave and send you updates and photos, so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Chenyang was amazing with our dog!!! She genuinely cares and was very good with providing pictures and updates. Very grateful to her for taking such good care of Yogi. Thanks again!!!”
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! Right now, I am a stay at home dog mom who is always training and working my dog. I have a highly flexible schedule and would love to help you out! I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!

About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 30 years, and caring for pups is just part of who I am. My first dog was with me for 18 amazing years, and my second for 14. They were truly family! I love taking care of dogs all ages, but have a soft spot for senior dogs. I have a lot of experience with the extra care they need, like giving meds, keeping an eye on their health, and making sure they feel safe and loved. If your dog stays with our family, they’ll get all the cuddles, patience, and attention they deserve….just like we’d give our own. We love dogs and miss having our own, so we welcome all the pup cuddles! I am home during the day and can be available weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm for drop-in visits or taking your dog for a walk. In our home, your fur baby will be taken care of like family. We have a 9 and 7 year old who will help ensure they receive lots of love while you’re away. We have a fenced yard they can play in, as well as a great neighborhood we can go for walks in. You let us know what works best for your dog and we will make sure to stick to it, to help them feel as comfortable as possible and keep their routine. Our goal is to make the stay stress free for the dog and for you, as owners. For Drop-in visits, I will be sure to follow the routine you have shared for feeding, walks, and playtime to provide consistency and comfort. While with your dog, I will be sure to track feeding times, bathroom breaks, any behavioral observations, and share photos to give you peace of mind.

“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
“Sameer is a very nice guy who is very caring about pets. We left our pet with him for 2 nights. Our pet was very comfortable in her stay and she was happy when she returned back. We will definitely recommend Sameer and will leave our pet with him next time as well.”
“Jonathan and Tatiana were great for our dog! We had a last minute need and they rescued us in the eleventh hour. We are so grateful for their family and the care they showed our dog. They took him to the park everyday and sent updates every evening for the week he was with them. I would highly recommend anyone boarding with them. I won’t even waste my time looking for a different sitter in the future, they are my go to!”
“We had a super last-minute trip come up and Dyan was amazing. She was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our dog while we were gone. Her kids loved him and gave him tons of attention, which he clearly loved. He got multiple walks every day, and we received lots of updates that made us feel totally at ease. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good hands. We’d absolutely book with Dyan again and are really grateful she was available on short notice.”
“Bella is the love of my life. She is my first and only baby. She has had some medical challenges in the past where we almost lost her. She’s stayed in kennels before when we’ve gone on vacation and always came back trembling and scared. With Shawna, she wags her tail and runs right up to her to stay! So grateful we found her.”
“Cindy has an awesome family that took care of my boy for a weekend. She’s great with sending pictures and giving dogs all the love they need. Definitely would book again!”
“Svetlana and her husband were amazing once again! We felt so at ease knowing Mocha was staying with them. They truly loved on her as if she was their own which made us so happy! We got frequent updates and Mocha came back rested and happy.”
“What a great family and dog sitters!!!!! The kids know hope to care and lead dogs. Hoada and Fawzi are warm, calm and welcoming. The trust and confidence in dog care is solid. A great spot for dog care!”
“Fuji was so well taken care of during his very first boarding with April, Josh, and Boba! Josh was excellent in his response time to my questions, drop off and pick up was quick and easy, and video updates (loved them) were fantastic to receive! And it was so wonderful to see Fuji walking off their cozy bed (which hints to me that he was allowed to sleep on the bed - a big plus since he sleeps with me in my bed!). Thank you so much, you guys are absolutely fabulous! The house is very clean too, and very open setting which allows the goldens to play as much as they want inside. Fuji is exhausted, and I think wondering where Boba is. Next time for sure! I will book with them again. THANK YOU!”
“My dog was so chill when I came to pick her up. She didn't want to leave. I have never seen her so content with someone else. I trust Astrid and her family and thank them from the bottom of my heart for such a good stay. It makes me so comfortable to know my baby is safe with them.”
“Barley has stayed with Ulunma several times now. He always enjoys his stay and is keen to get out of the car when we arrive at her house. Ulunma is very kind and quick to respond to dog sitting requests.”
“Best Rover experience that I've had to date! Angela, Randall, and family were wonderful. We received a lot of pictures while we were gone and the dogs looked so happy. The backyard is perfect for fur babies, and they received a lot of exercise on wonderful hikes! Our dogs were gassed when we got home and slept like babies. I will definitely book again!”
“Olivia and her husband were amazing with watching Kaya for 2 weeks. They sent pictures and updates regularly and were very responsive. They took great care of her, especially with making sure to give her medication daily. I will definitely be rebooking with them again in the future!”
“Brenda was amazing watching our 4 small dogs for a four day trip. We were particularly glad to find her since we only had short notice. She sent great photo updates throughout their stay so we always knew how they were doing, and it was clear they were happy and comfortable with her. She even won over our grumpy one, who usually has little time for anyone that is not mama! It made our trip much better knowing that our dogs were in good hands. We (and our dogs) highly recommend Brenda for anyone needing a reliable, caring sitter. The next time we go away we'll definitely call Brenda.”
“Tracey was super communicative and cared for Leo well. She has a great set up and nice neighborhood for dogs, and her 2 boxer buddies were so friendly. Would definitely book again!”
