“Great experience with Jatin. He provided plenty of updates on my pup and he was very happy with his visit and made lots of friends thanks to Jatin. Kept him on a set schedule for food and play. There was a lot of photo updates!”
“Debra is amazing! My dog Winter felt right at home the moment she arrived. Debra has a very large backyard for dogs to roam around and play. Her home was very clean, inviting and accommodating. She took my dog for several walks throughout the day and sent several pictures and updates. Debra is someone I trust completely and will always count on her for the future. I highly recommend Debra.”
“Julie was amazing.Our first time using Rover and 100% would book her again. She sent pictures and updates frequently and I think Oreo would have chosen to stay longer if he had the option.”
“Tracey sent photos of Dusty during the stay, kept us informed. Dusty had a blast apparently, and enjoyed playing with her dog and them all weekend. And has napped a bunch since coming home. Usually only does that when has been active.”
“Second time Ty stays with Jennifer and she and her family is great! Definitely Ty is going to stay with her every time we travel and she is available. We feel very comfortable when we are traveling and Ty is under her care. Thank you so much one more time for the great help and care. Happy New Year!”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”
“Wendy took great care of me and my husband's two cats and kept us updated the whole time! Both are indoor-only cats and them having their own room to stay in was a big deal. Their room was spacious and allowed for more than enough room for them to play and run around in and even had a nice window view. Would definitely book again in the future!!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who treats every pet like family. I’ve grown up with big dogs—especially Labrador Retrievers—so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds and understand their needs and energy levels. I currently have a 2-year-old female German Shepherd/Border Collie mix who absolutely loves other dogs, so being around pups is truly part of my everyday life. I’m used to providing plenty of attention, structure, and affection, and I make sure every dog I care for feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or just relaxing with company, I’ll meet them where they are and follow your routine closely to keep things consistent. I also make sure to give lots of cuddles and attention—because every dog deserves to feel like family while you’re away. I’m happy to send updates so you have peace of mind the whole time. I work full time from home but my job is not demanding so I typically walk dogs during the day and again after work. I have a backyard where I can let dogs out often throughout the day as well. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe (fenced yard), clean, and calm environment with lots of interaction and supervision. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs, so I always make sure introductions are safe and comfortable for everyone. I do also have a cat but they typically hide away upstairs when new pets come around :) They are very friendly with dogs.
“I had a wonderful experience with Dipanjana and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about making my dog feel comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness throughout the stay. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“WOW!! Jennifer was amazing with our Chocolate Lab and Frenchie. Willow and Piglet loved being with her family and the pictures we received showed playtime, and how the pups were tucked into doggy beds and covered with a warm blanket. Jennifer's family were just as amazing and our pups loved it there. It is always an anxious moment trying to find someone to take care of your loved ones, but Jennifer and her lovely family take the worry out of the choice. I am so pleased and feel very comfortable leaving our pups with her again! I highly, highly recommend!!! I will rebook again!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“Brian has taken care of Brownie for us twice, and he has been amazing both times. Our flight was unexpectedly canceled, and Brian was incredibly understanding and flexible with our changing plans. He truly cares about the pets he watches and gave us complete peace of mind. A real lifesaver. We highly recommend him and will definitely use him again. Thank you Brian, and your family.”
“Our dogs were so happy with Kimberly’s care, they didn’t even get overly excited when they saw us when we picked them up. They did some zoomies at home and then fell asleep since they had so much fun at Kimberly’s place. We will definitely ask for her help again when we can’t take our furry kids with us.”
About: I've cared for dogs for years and currently provide dog sitting and walking for local families outside of Rover. As someone who is very family-oriented, I treat every dog like they're part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away.

My home has a spacious, fenced backyard with grass where dogs can safely play, exercise, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time, and I'm committed to giving every pet the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. I love starting my day with walking your family pet. Always bring joy to your pet and me. Start your day on a positive note. I'm in tune with your pets needs. Its like babysitting my Grandkids.

I will be available during most hours of the day. I will follow any instructions on how you would like your pet to be taken care of and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise
“Tracey was truly incredible with my cat, Molly. Leaving my little baby with someone else was really hard for me, but Tracey made the entire experience so comforting and reassuring. Every single day she sent thoughtful updates along with photos and videos, and seeing Molly safe, relaxed, and loved meant everything to me. You can genuinely feel how much Tracey cares about the animals she watches. She didn’t just “check in” on Molly—she gave her love, attention, and patience, and treated her like her own. Because of her, I was able to be away without constant worry, knowing my baby was in the best hands possible. I’m beyond grateful for her kindness, communication, and dedication. I would trust Tracey again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone who wants their pet cared for with real love and compassion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Sandi was amazing as usual- she was able to draw out the shyest cat in the world. She is super communicative, with detailed messages and pictures. She goes over and beyond with her care, watering the plants, checking the house etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her any time you need someone to take care of your little ones. Sandi is the best.”
“Georgie likes to be with people (me) so when I am away, I don't know who has more anxiety: him or me. But I know Merryn is reliable and keeps in contact, that she will show up, feed him, and entertain him for a bit until I can get back home.”

“Boomers first day was a success. He came home a happy pup. He met a lot of new friends and learned some new positive behaviors. JD made sure he was safely introduced to his new friends and properly socialized.”
“Stasha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Elora and Jasper. We had a big party to host, and knowing they were in her care gave us so much peace of mind. It honestly allowed us to enjoy the day instead of worrying about the pups. From the start, Stasha was warm, communicative, and incredibly reassuring. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day, which meant so much and made it clear our pups were happy and in great hands. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with so much care and attention. Elora and Jasper came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. We felt completely safe trusting Stasha with them, and that kind of trust is huge. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly invested in caring for your dogs, I cannot recommend Stasha enough. She made it possible for us to host our party without a single worry, and that was priceless. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat. 🐾”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Simba received again . From the first day, it was clear how loving and attentive Rikiya is. Communication was excellent, and Simba felt comfortable and happy. I will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends and family.”
“Deepika was absolutely outstanding. She asked whether we would be open for a free meet & greet visit to evaluate whether we would be a good fit. On arrival, she let my mini goldendoodle take a "self guided tour" of her backyard and whole house just so that he could feel at home. She's got a huge amount of space so our doggo was thrilled. During the first day of daycare she gave me numerous updates voluntarily without being prompted. I could tell that my dog was having a blast and lots of exercise in the process. I just picked him up an hour ago and boy is he beat! No better sign of a happy puppy that's going to sleep really well :) She's very professional and has a quick response time to any questions on text. I felt very comfortable after this first daycare session. 10/10 would recommend. We look forward to becoming repeat clients in the future!”
“Jen is the sweetest person and has a beautiful and loving home! Vino loved being at their house and playing with Jen and her family! Vino enjoyed their daily walks and playing ball. Throughout the day Jen would send me photos and videos. Vino can’t wait to go back!”

If it’s a cat, maybe it’s a playful moment or just sharing a quiet breakfast together while they curl up nearby. I take pet care seriously and always treat animals with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. In my daily routine, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.

“Debbie is absolutely the best! She is so very gentle, kind and patient with our shy girl. When we met her she got down to Blossom’s level and slowly introduced herself and Blossom come to her. In the pics we receive from the walks we can see our girl is relaxed and enjoying her walk. I cannot stress enough, Debbie is the best.”
“Honestly one of the best walkers we’ve ever had. Timely, communicative and understanding. One of our doggos is a rescue and has trust issues, so it can be challenging for new people to walk him. Sandi, however, has been incredibly patient with him and seems to have earned his trust. You won’t regret booking her!”

I am here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets to take on walks and more. I am available on weekends and weekdays. All dogs I for care will receive walks, snuggle time and more throughout the day, rather they are in my home or their home. Thanks
“Sofia did an excellent job walking my two terriers. She was cooperative, professional, dependable and knowledgeable. My dogs were to eager to go on their walks with her and met her at the gate with wagging tails.”
“Angelina has been an absolute blessing for our family and our dogs. She cares for Winston (our Cockapoo), Charlie, Annie (our Labradoodle), and our Bernedoodle, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She has such a calm, wonderful presence, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs. They’ve all warmed up to her so quickly, which says everything about her energy and the trust she builds with them. Every time they return, they have the most cheerful dispositions and are ready for a cozy nap—it’s obvious they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. We truly feel lucky to have Angelina and would highly recommend her.”

“Great experience with Jatin. He provided plenty of updates on my pup and he was very happy with his visit and made lots of friends thanks to Jatin. Kept him on a set schedule for food and play. There was a lot of photo updates!”
“Debra is amazing! My dog Winter felt right at home the moment she arrived. Debra has a very large backyard for dogs to roam around and play. Her home was very clean, inviting and accommodating. She took my dog for several walks throughout the day and sent several pictures and updates. Debra is someone I trust completely and will always count on her for the future. I highly recommend Debra.”
“Tracey sent photos of Dusty during the stay, kept us informed. Dusty had a blast apparently, and enjoyed playing with her dog and them all weekend. And has napped a bunch since coming home. Usually only does that when has been active.”
“Second time Ty stays with Jennifer and she and her family is great! Definitely Ty is going to stay with her every time we travel and she is available. We feel very comfortable when we are traveling and Ty is under her care. Thank you so much one more time for the great help and care. Happy New Year!”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who treats every pet like family. I’ve grown up with big dogs—especially Labrador Retrievers—so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds and understand their needs and energy levels. I currently have a 2-year-old female German Shepherd/Border Collie mix who absolutely loves other dogs, so being around pups is truly part of my everyday life. I’m used to providing plenty of attention, structure, and affection, and I make sure every dog I care for feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or just relaxing with company, I’ll meet them where they are and follow your routine closely to keep things consistent. I also make sure to give lots of cuddles and attention—because every dog deserves to feel like family while you’re away. I’m happy to send updates so you have peace of mind the whole time. I work full time from home but my job is not demanding so I typically walk dogs during the day and again after work. I have a backyard where I can let dogs out often throughout the day as well. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe (fenced yard), clean, and calm environment with lots of interaction and supervision. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs, so I always make sure introductions are safe and comfortable for everyone. I do also have a cat but they typically hide away upstairs when new pets come around :) They are very friendly with dogs.
“WOW!! Jennifer was amazing with our Chocolate Lab and Frenchie. Willow and Piglet loved being with her family and the pictures we received showed playtime, and how the pups were tucked into doggy beds and covered with a warm blanket. Jennifer's family were just as amazing and our pups loved it there. It is always an anxious moment trying to find someone to take care of your loved ones, but Jennifer and her lovely family take the worry out of the choice. I am so pleased and feel very comfortable leaving our pups with her again! I highly, highly recommend!!! I will rebook again!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“Juliana took great care if my elderly & almost blind chihuahua. My fur baby came home alert & happy but also misses Juliana’s backyard. Will definitely stay with Juliana again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Marium, while she cared for our dog Maverick for three nights. From the start, communication was great and it was clear that Maverick was in very capable and caring hands. Marium made sure he was comfortable, well-exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection. One thing we especially appreciated was how well she handled Maverick on walks. He can sometimes show aggression toward other dogs, but Marium was very patient, attentive, and confident managing those situations. It was clear she understood how to keep him calm and safe, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We also loved receiving updates and photos while we were away. It was obvious that Maverick felt relaxed and happy in her care. When we picked him up, he was calm, well cared for, and clearly had a positive stay. We are very grateful for the kindness, patience, and responsibility Marium showed while watching Maverick. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I have a 5 year old lab who is friendly and caring. I love to take care of dogs and provide service for dog parents who need help taking care of their loved ones. I have a pet and i take care of him daily so pet care is part off my daily routine and life and I love it. I will take care of the pet in our home and have a 3000 sqft backyard where the pets can play and have fun time
“Anusha is the best dog sitter around. I don’t think I’ll ever book vacations again without checking her availability first. She provides photos and videos daily updating us on their adventures together. She is very knowledgeable and treats our dog like a member of her very own family.”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“My dog had a perfect stay with Sepia. He was treated like a family member and really pampered. I got daily updates with photos and videos which was really helpful since we were leaving our baby for a long time almost 12 days for the first time. I highly recommend Sepia.”
