“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
“Mya was a dream! She took care of our little guy as if he were her own. Very communicative, sent lots of photos, and really focused on Oso, his walks and playtime all weekend long. We'll definitely be leaving Oso with her again in the future. :)”
“Great experience with Takako and Eric! Our dog didn’t want to leave! They really took care of him, and return him to us in great conditions. They also sent daily photo updates. There are some great shots! Highly recommended 👍”
“Lori did amazing with my dog Theo! She has great energy and Theo, who can be shy with strangers, immediately felt comfortable around her. Lori is friendly and communicative and has a dog-friendly house with yard that Theo loved. It’s great to know I can leave Theo with her and he’ll get walks and cuddles and be taken care of”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dogs received! From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Reliable, professional, and incredibly kind—I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my pups!”
“Ehda took wonderful care of my dear friend Nico. I could tell that she loves how wonderful dogs are, and it comforted me to leave him with someone who cared about him. Pictures everyday, super responsive to messaging, and flexible with scheduling. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Monty over the weekend! She was reliable, communicative whenever I would message, and seemed they both enjoyed spending time with each other. Monty was definitely in good hands! I would book again and recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“It was our first time using Kimberly and she was super!! We recently moved from illinois and needed someone to watch Oreo for a few days while we travelled back to illinois. Kimberly was phenomenal! We received several daily pictures including movie nights and walks outside. He really liked Ranger and Ginger, the family dogs. Very accommodating and attended to all our needs. I would give her 10 stars if I could. Great sitter!”
“Michael is very friendly and professional. He took very good care of dog Cosmo over the Memorial Day weekend and also gave us some caring tips. He gave us daily updates and was very flexible with our drop off and pick up schedule.”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter because our usual Rover was unavailable, and Jane was kind enough to meet with us and board our two dogs. She did an excellent job with them! She stayed on top of one of our dog's medicine schedule and took them on regular walks during the day and evening. Honestly, when we picked up our babies, we could tell they were sad to leave, so even the dogs were saying they had a good time with Jane! We'll definitely be reusing her services if anymore trips come up in the future!”

About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding.

We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.
“We had the absolute best experience with Kris. She took such loving, attentive care of our dogs, Rocky and Charlie, and treated them like her own. We received so many detailed updates and pictures throughout their stay, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Rocky and Charlie were having the best time and were truly loved and cared for. We are so grateful for the level of care, communication, and genuine kindness she showed our dogs, and we can’t wait to use her again in the future! :)”

“Thank you, Amy, for welcoming Benny Bears into your home and making him part of your family during his stay. My fur baby loved spending time with her son. Walks, & hanging out with Amy on the couch. Amy is great with clear communication, sending pictures, and making his stay feel like home. Bent is looking forward to his next stay! If this is your 1st time using Rover, highly recommend using Amy. As a 1st time user, Amy was the best choice for me and Benny Bears. Thank you so much! Blessed I found you! 🙏🐾🐾”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to be reliable and consistent, so you can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine. I’m also happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my 8 week kitten, who liked her immediately upon meeting her. She sent photos and was responsive- it was a huge relief not to feel worried as our first time being away from a new kitten!”
About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.
“Kimberly stayed at our house with our cat for 5 days and was AMAZING! Very responsive, we got tons of pictures, and our cat loved her so much that she has been sleeping in the guest bedroom where Kimberly stayed instead of her usual spots, haha. Will definitely have Kimberly cat sit again for us. Thank you, Kimberly!”
“Shelby was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for my cat, Miki! From the moment we connected, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She made sure Miki was comfortable, well-fed, and loved while I was away, and I could tell Miki felt safe and happy with her. Shelby sent thoughtful updates and gave me total peace of mind. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter.”
“Emily was a very attentive and responsive cat sitter, especially considering our request was very last minute. She really went the extra mile checking to make sure her automatic litter box cleaner was functioning correctly and when she noticed it wasn’t working with me to help troubleshoot it. Would recommend anyone looking for reliable pet care!”

“Lan took very good care of Peanut. Last minute I had to change my reservation to assist my friend with her dog and Lan accommodated the situation with no hesitancy. Peanut was a happy camper and the photo helped to ease my concerns of him being in an unfamiliar place. Thank you so much for your care and accomodations.”
“This was my first rover so I was admittedly quite nervous. Not only for myself, but even my dogs caretaker as at 4 months old, she can still have puppy like tics. Despite it all, Linda was communicative, thorough and a joy to interact with. You can tell her family has a great vibe, and that reflects in how they treat their dogs. I’m especially appreciative that we were a bit late to pick my pup up due to some traffic and Linda was so understanding and patient. Two paws way way up ?”

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have my own pup, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your pet. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved! I work from home on my own flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to be reliable, attentive, and flexible to your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also love providing updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Audrey was wonderful with our little monster dog. She was patient and understanding. Her updates after each walk were much appreciated and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I used to be an avid babysitter around my hometown, but after the children outgrew my services, I shifted to watching animals for families rather than their children. I have watched all types of animals from cats and dogs, to turtles and birds! I am used to challenging/misbehaving dogs as well as strong, pulling dogs. No worries, I can handle it all! Excited to meet some new animals and families. I am a Pilates and Yoga instructor as well as a Waitress and student. My schedule is flexible as the hours of my classes vary and my waitress work is for a short stint of time at night. I can easily crate your dogs if needed, or cuddle them at night. I make sure to keep an eye on them to avoid any possible mishaps and make sure to read into their body language on rocks. Being aware of my walking paths & hours has made my walks successful and easy.
About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them... We have a fully fenced yard (6 ft) and 2 little dogs ( one senior and one puppy) to keep your dog company. We have balls and toys to play with and your dog is welcome to share the dog beds and our couch with everybody. Our porch door is open all day which makes potty training easy and gives your dog plenty of outdoor time. We usually take everybody for a nice sunset walk and can add a nice beach walk to the day. We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.

“Olivia and Sebastian took great care of our dog. Our dog loved playing with their dog! They sent regular updates with pictures and video and provided a great experience. Highly recommend and will be using them in the future.”
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
“Ehda took wonderful care of my dear friend Nico. I could tell that she loves how wonderful dogs are, and it comforted me to leave him with someone who cared about him. Pictures everyday, super responsive to messaging, and flexible with scheduling. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Monty over the weekend! She was reliable, communicative whenever I would message, and seemed they both enjoyed spending time with each other. Monty was definitely in good hands! I would book again and recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Michael is very friendly and professional. He took very good care of dog Cosmo over the Memorial Day weekend and also gave us some caring tips. He gave us daily updates and was very flexible with our drop off and pick up schedule.”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter because our usual Rover was unavailable, and Jane was kind enough to meet with us and board our two dogs. She did an excellent job with them! She stayed on top of one of our dog's medicine schedule and took them on regular walks during the day and evening. Honestly, when we picked up our babies, we could tell they were sad to leave, so even the dogs were saying they had a good time with Jane! We'll definitely be reusing her services if anymore trips come up in the future!”
“We had the absolute best experience with Kris. She took such loving, attentive care of our dogs, Rocky and Charlie, and treated them like her own. We received so many detailed updates and pictures throughout their stay, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Rocky and Charlie were having the best time and were truly loved and cared for. We are so grateful for the level of care, communication, and genuine kindness she showed our dogs, and we can’t wait to use her again in the future! :)”
“This was our first time having our pup stay outside of our home and Shannon was great! She sent us pictures and let us know he was loving his stay. We’re so glad to have found her.”
About: I’m a dog mom with many years of experience taking good care of pups of all ages and sizes. I work from home with an extremely friendly dog of my own so your dog will have company all day and night! I work fully remote with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always get a morning walk with mine, potty breaks whenever needed, and I can accommodate any feeding schedule. I’m available to provide daycare and board most weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced backyard patio for potty breaks and time outside. Your pup will have free rein in the house with a doggy playmate. I generally do not crate or cage my dog when I’m out of the house, but can separate your pup as needed based on your requirements. I have cameras in my home for monitoring so I can always check what the pups are up to!
“Danae and her family took care of our dog Perrie as if she were their own. Her two kids and wonderful backyard provided lots of entertainment for Perrie. She kept us in the loop with pictures and updates throughout the day. We would definitely use her again!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Diana was fabulous. My little one is a nervous Nellie and Diana (and her dog, Buddy) were the perfect fit. I was gone 2 and a half weeks and she took exceptional care of Exie. Diana was very good about all the little doggie details: walking schedule, food. She is very kind, calm and caring. Could not recommend her more highly.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, routines, and needs. Weather it’s daily walks or overnight visits, i’m confident handling all of your pets needs I am currently unemployed and am home from college for the summer so can devote as much of my time possible to walking, watching, feeding, and living your pets! I pride myself on great communication while you are aware to ensure both you and your pets are satisfied! I can send you photos through the day if that is something you are interested in, and can take into account any special needs your furry friends have.
“Evan was great! Our normal dog sitter cancelled right before our planned trip. In a frenzy, I came across the Rover app and gave it a try! Evan accepted our booking request even though we were booking at the very last minute! By last minute, I mean we dropped our dog, Jack, off at his house within 1/2 hour of booking! Evan and his family were very kind and our dog got on well with the other two dogs in the house. We received pictures and updates throughout the stay which made us feel better about leaving our pup with someone we didn’t know. I would book with Evan again!”
“Tara and her family were SO wonderful! After a last minute change of plans, they welcomed my puppy Rosie into their home without any problems whatsoever. They were so flexible and really just lifesavers! Rosie had the best time playing with their dog Lily, as well as their three kids. She came home happily exhausted and ready to go back for more. I loved Tara and would definitely use her again.”
