“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“This is the 2nd time Cristina looks after my two mini aussies. This time it was for a whole month. My girls really enjoyed themselves. Always happy, spoiled and I have always felt at peace leaving them at her home. She and her husband and really great and family oriented people. Thank you so much for looking so nicely after them”
“Any time you leave your pups with someone you don’t know, you naturally experience a sense of anxiety. That apprehension went away as soon as I dropped off my pups with Alan. He volunteered to show me the space where my dogs would be in his house, shared pictures of my dogs throughout the stay and gave me periodic updates on how they were doing. All this was greatly appreciated. You could tell Alan really loves dogs and enjoys pet sitting. I highly recommend Alan and plan on using this again!”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“Very friendly and great communication. Provided pics of my puppy as happy as can be at the park. Provided information about my puppies stay overnight; what she ate, how she slept, and if she would most likely need to potty soon. Will for sure use her services again. Thank you.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”

“this was my first time using Rover since we needed a dog sitter last minute. we’re so lucky to have found pilar. our 5yo mini schnauzer is a punk with new people but she gave him the space he needed until he warmed up. she was great with daily pics and updates for his 3 night stay. will definitely bring him back when we need a sitter!”
“Definitely recommend Chris & Lindsey. This was my 1st time using Rover and I was nervous. They communicated with me frequently throughout the day and kept my mind at ease! If the need arises again I will absolutely book again with them”
“Natalee was an amazing sitter for our little guy Luffy! She is super sweet and kept great communication throughout his stay, making sure to share some adorable photos of their weekend adventures together :) Luffy seemed to have a great time and was even excited to see Natalee again upon dropping him off. We highly recommend Natalee to take care of your pups and look forward to having a safe space for Luffy to stay for future vacations!”
“Vipul was awesome, he has a lot of experience with dogs, and a nice fenced in yard for them to play. Our dog was happy, as evidenced in the pictures and video he sent us while on vacation. We highly recommend him.”
“Stacy is the absolute best! My dog Bailey had a great time while staying at Stacy’s house. Stacy was perfectly accommodating and made easy and very smooth for Bailey’s first test run being boarded. I got lots of updates and photos throughout Bailey’s stay. I’ll tell everyone I know to use Stacy in the future!”
“This was my first time using this site to find a sitter. My 14-month-old dog is very cautious and usually takes a long time to adjust to new environments, so I was very worried about how things would go. It was his first experience being cared for by someone outside of our family, which was a big challenge for him—and I’m sure it was also a bit difficult for Lisa. But she kindly accepted, and I was truly grateful. Before the sitting, she even made time for us so that my dog and I could get a little more comfortable with her. Thanks to that, I felt much more at ease on the day. She also sent me photos and videos to share how he was doing, which made me very happy and reassured. After just one day, I could see that he was slowly starting to adjust to the new environment, and it was wonderful to see his growth. I’m really glad I asked Lisa this time. Even if I may have caused her some trouble, she kindly took care of him, and I’m very thankful.”
“Jessica is amazing! She was quick to respond to our request and took amazing care of our dogs. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the stay.”
“Anyely and her family were wonderful hosts! She sent me photos and updates every day. She made sure that my dog was always comfortable and very well taken care of. I hadn’t left my dog with a sitter for a long time because I always try to bring her with me everywhere, so I was nervous about leaving her, but I am so glad that we found Anyely. She raved about my dog when I picked her up, and seemed to truly enjoy hosting her. My dog seemed happy and totally herself when I picked her up. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Anyely again! She also enjoyed playing with the family dog and cat :) Thank you so much Anyely!”
“if you were looking for someone to care for your furry, loved one and keep you posted on how they’re doing. Siera is the best . she took time to really get to know Enzo, and give him the special attention he needed. I would use her and recommend her to anybody who loves their pet. she will care for him and keep your mind at ease.”
“Wonderful experience! Alexis did an amazing job caring for my husky, Ghost, who can be a bit difficult at times. She truly knew how to meet his needs, and I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for during his stay. Ghost came home happy, full of energy, and clearly loved his time with her. Alexis was also incredibly responsive with my last minute booking request, and communication was excellent throughout the entire 5 day boarding. I would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again!”

“Krista was amazing, she went above and beyond! It was my first time using Rover so I was a little worried about how it would go but she helped me through so much. My dog ended up having stomach problems the day she was going to watch him. She was very understanding and accommodating. She made sure he was comfortable and safe which I am very grateful for. She gave me updates on how he was doing and was able to help ease my nerves. She was efficient and communicative. I’m so grateful for her because it was added work on her end to watch over my dog that day. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and was such an amazing person.

“We recently had our senior dog stay with Stacy for her first daycare stay and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Stacy was so attentive to her needs, making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Meeting Stacy in person on the first day really set our minds at ease and our dog seemed so at ease when we picked her up, clearly a sign she’d been well-loved! I highly recommend Stacy for anyone looking for a compassionate, dependable pet sitter, especially for older dogs.”

I am working toward becoming a canine trainer and am currently under apprenticeship. Caring for dogs is very rewarding for me and a true passion of mine. My friends and family have sought me out for advice and to care for their pets and I would love the opportunity to care for yours as well. I have a flexible work schedule and am available for boarding 7 nights per week and for sitting every day. I can also pick up and drop off for an additional fee. I have a large fenced back yard (about 1/8 of an acre), with mixed concrete, dirt with shade.

My dog Olive is super friendly, and loves being around other dogs. She is around 15 lbs. I have a cat who is friendly but does not want to do much with other dogs. He mostly stays away.

I also help care for my sister’s senior dogs, who require specialized routines and ongoing medical attention, giving me hands-on experience with elderly pets and medication schedules. Whether it’s a leisurely walk for a senior dog or an energetic run, hike, or play session with a young pup, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

I even brush their teeth and make sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection every day. When caring for a client’s pet, I bring that same level of dedication and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.

“This was my first time to use Rover and from the very beginning I was so happy with Priscilla and Mike. Fiona took to Mike right away and seemed to want to be his bestie! I've now found my dog sitter for any future trips or needs. Both are such nice people and help rescue dogs in need. I wish them success and will definitely use them again.”
About: I’ve been around animals since I can remember , dogs , cats lizards everything in the book.

About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
About: I have plenty of experience looking after pets of all sizes and breeds. I guarantee a safe and loving home for your pet. They will love it here! I’m home most of the time and can assure your pet will have a playful and enjoyable stay in my home. Look forward to meeting your fur baby! I guarantee your pet will be walked and played with as directed and most importantly given all the attention it deserves. Look forward to connecting.
“Arantxa is always amazing with my Stevie. She’s always worn out and happy by the time she returns home and I can rely on Arantxa to keep my dog safe and happy. I love the little updates provided as well.”
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.

“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Definitely recommend Chris & Lindsey. This was my 1st time using Rover and I was nervous. They communicated with me frequently throughout the day and kept my mind at ease! If the need arises again I will absolutely book again with them”
“Natalee was an amazing sitter for our little guy Luffy! She is super sweet and kept great communication throughout his stay, making sure to share some adorable photos of their weekend adventures together :) Luffy seemed to have a great time and was even excited to see Natalee again upon dropping him off. We highly recommend Natalee to take care of your pups and look forward to having a safe space for Luffy to stay for future vacations!”
“Stacy is the absolute best! My dog Bailey had a great time while staying at Stacy’s house. Stacy was perfectly accommodating and made easy and very smooth for Bailey’s first test run being boarded. I got lots of updates and photos throughout Bailey’s stay. I’ll tell everyone I know to use Stacy in the future!”

“if you were looking for someone to care for your furry, loved one and keep you posted on how they’re doing. Siera is the best . she took time to really get to know Enzo, and give him the special attention he needed. I would use her and recommend her to anybody who loves their pet. she will care for him and keep your mind at ease.”
“Wonderful experience! Alexis did an amazing job caring for my husky, Ghost, who can be a bit difficult at times. She truly knew how to meet his needs, and I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for during his stay. Ghost came home happy, full of energy, and clearly loved his time with her. Alexis was also incredibly responsive with my last minute booking request, and communication was excellent throughout the entire 5 day boarding. I would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again!”
“Holger did a great job with Princess. He took care of her even though she is older and is sensitive. I don't come around this area often but I will happily reach out to Holger again if I need his services.”
“Very caring and kind sitters, my dog was clearly well taken care of when I picked her up. Sent multiple videos and images daily of my dog, who got along well with both of theirs. Will be going back next time I need a sitter 👍”
“Analisa watched my baby Pebbles this past weekend and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated the whole time with pictures and little check-ins, which honestly made me feel so much more comfortable being away. She was always quick to respond and it was clear Pebbles was being well taken care of and getting lots of attention. I’d definitely trust her to watch Pebbles again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring!”
