“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Shannon took wonderful care of our dog during his stay in her home. Shannon kept up with walks and routines, and sent great updates throughout our trip. It’s such a relief knowing your dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”
“Bella is always well taken care of at Vadym and Svitlana’s home! We get frequent updates while away and Bella is always excited to see them and stay over. Would highly recommend if you ever need a dogsitter!”
“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dog chip. They took him in tons of walks, went to the park, and gave him lots of love. They treated him as if he were their own. He LOVED Their dog turbo! They got along wonderfully. They sent picture updates multiple times a day which made us feel so comforted. We HIGHLY recommend!”
“Sara was awesome with my pet Choco. She always sent updates and pics. She treated my pet the way I do which is what I look for in a sitter. I have booked another sitting for my Pet with Sara. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a temporary home for their pet.”
“Caddy was LOVED and so well taken care of. Malissa was amazing! Great communicator, cuddled and loved on my dog and walked her and gave her all the attention in the world. My dog is spoiled! And she did not want to come home when we picked her up. I was hesitant booking with multiple dogs and was happy to find that Malissa took 1-2 dogs at a time. It was only caddy this time and she had a little puppy. Good to know my dog behaved and I will book her over and over in the future. Malissa offers multiple services so anything you need, she can do!”
“Savannah took amazing care of our puppy, Luna, during her weekend stay! This was Luna’s first time boarding overnight, and Savannah made the whole experience so easy and comforting for us. She kept us updated, communicated really well, and Luna was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when we picked her up. Savannah’s home is clean and welcoming, and Luna clearly enjoyed her time there. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Savannah again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”
“Stephen did a great job taking care of our Australian Shepherd. Super responsive on all communication. Provided pictures and updates during our trip and She came back afterward super happy and healthy. Couldn't ask for more.”
“Angelica was exceptional!!! She took such great care of our Daisy girl while we were away! She sent lots of pictures, updates, and treated Daisy like her own! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Cheryl was very accommodating with our two Corgis and she was great with communication with us! Our boys were well cared-for. We would highly recommend Cheryl...A+++ Thank you!”
“John was very polite upon meeting and seemed to do a fantastic job at taking care of my dog Henny. Very responsive and sent me photos daily. Would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely rebook again. Thank you John!”
“Sierra took great care of my babies. One of my pups had a cut on his paw and she treated it as asked and had him wearing his cone (even though he hated it). When we picked them up they were happy. We were nervous because our pups can have a hard time adjusting to new places but Sierra let us know they did take some time but eventually settled and got comfortable. She also sent pictures/updates which I loved 😊”
“May was so amazing!!!! Our sweet senior dogs can get nervous with new people.. but not with May. She warmed up to her right away. We loved that she doesn’t watch a bunch of dogs at once so you know your baby is getting a personal experience. I never had to be the one to reach out to see if Luna was okay because she sent multiple photos and updates all day!! I didn’t have to worry about Luna once which is huge for me. We cant thank May enough. Luna cant wait to go back and hang with her dog Teddy too. :) will recommend her to everyone!!!”
“Nazgul took really good care of our dog and was giving frequent updates. She was very accommodating despite the sudden boarding request. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Extremely happy with my bookings with Rachelle. She took good care of my pupps. Sent constant updates and pics of happiness. So happy to have found you. Looking forward to booking with again in the future. Thanks very much Rachelle. I appreciate you.”
“Dana is amazing! You can feel her passion for animals with just the first conversation. I was a little anxious to be leaving my pup with his first Rover on account that he has seizures but Dana took all my worries away. Nacho did not want to come back with us, he loved Dana so much! Not only was she so sweet but she also did a fantastic job grooming my boy. He is so anxious around grooming tools but she was patient and had him looking like a little gentleman. She truly is a gem!”

About: I’ve always had a big heart for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own, while making sure you feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule! My husband and I operate our own dog poop scooping business, which allows me to have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. Outside of that, my schedule is generally open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and plenty of quality time with your pets. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, patient, and will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, or special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’ll always be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
About: I’ve been caring for cats for years and have experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, from confident cuddle bugs to shy cats who need extra patience to warm up. I’ve fostered sick kittens through SEMO Pets humane society in my college town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri (south of St. Louis). which is a rural town where feral cats are having kittens left and right. I have taken in many kittens and helped nurse them back to health, including providing medications, eye care, feeding, cleaning, and lots of hands-on attention. I’m comfortable administering medications according to instructions and keeping up with feeding, water, litter boxes, and individual routines. I also have experience caring for multiple cats at once, so I understand how important clean litter boxes, enrichment, playtime, and observing each cat’s behavior can be. I’m a bit of a clean freak myself, so I’ll always clean up after your cats and keep their space fresh. Most importantly, I don’t expect every cat to immediately love me. I’m happy to sit on the floor, give them space, play with them, or simply hang out nearby until they decide I’m trustworthy. 🐈⬛
“Linda was wonderful, and I highly recommend her. This was the first time we left Mochi alone for 7 days, and because he's such a social cat, I was nervous about how he'd adjust. What I appreciated most was how honest and communicative Linda was. She always kept us informed, and her detailed, heartwarming visit notes became something I genuinely looked forward to reading during our trip. It was so reassuring to know how Mochi was doing each day. I also sent her what probably felt like a gazillion notes beforehand. They were mostly backup information in case Mochi wasn't eating or playing normally, but Linda was incredibly patient and never made me feel like I was being too much. She followed the guidance thoughtfully and took the time to understand him. She also drove quite a distance to care for Mochi, and I'm very grateful for that. Our usual sitter wasn't available, and I was worried about how he'd handle both a new sitter and a longer time apart from us. Thanks to Linda, he adjusted really well. It was obvious that he was not only cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. We're so grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“We've found the BEST pet sitters through Rover! Angeline cared for our kitties Rascal and Mimi for the first time this past week. I could tell from the photos she sent that our furkids were in good hands and that our normally skittish cats had warmed up to Angeline in record time. She is dependable and flexible, and had no problem following the special feeding instructions we prepared for Mimi. We'll be booking Angeline again to care for Rascal and Mimi during our upcoming January travels. Bravo, Angeline!”
“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”
“Sammy is great! She treated my kitty well and provided pictures as well as a video. It really gave me the piece of mind and comfort I sought while I was away. She did an excellent job following instructions and worked around my needs. She is super sweet and caring. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking care for their pet. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life. My Mom loved cats and I loved them more. I loved them so much I would watch all of my friends kitties as much as possible. For the past 7 years I’ve been around cats quite frequently and I love giving them what they need and caring for them for other people because I know how important they are to each family they’re apart of❤️
About: hi there!!! thanks for stopping by, i would love to meet your animal and keep him or her company while you’re working. i have three dogs of my own and i’m so excited to get started on rover. 🐾 currently driving my kids to and from school and various sports, so i’m available for drop ins and play dates with your pet while the kids are in school. happy to come by for play dates. our dogs that we have are so happy and well loved and taken care of. rover is such a great fit for me and my family’s life, especially because of my love for animals.
About: My first experience with cats was an old TNR. She was a magnificent, orange girl who we named Momo, who hopped into my car one night and blossomed as she spent the rest of her golden years with us. No one could have asked for a more gentle and caring protector. With her, I learned about providing care for elderly pets and the challenges of dealing with terminal illness as she finally crossed the Rainbow Bridge. After Momo, my wife and I have dedicated ourselves to taking care of 4 rescues who were orphaned kittens with a challenging start at life. Now, they are four healthy adults (one of whom is slightly rotund for her size). From all these experiences, I've become proficient at kitten-care as well as elderly cat-care. I am comfortable with administering medications, both oral and topical, including supplements.
“Sean has been amazing with my baby girl! It gives me so much comfort knowing she’s in great care while I’m away. Since my girl is a strong dog I have never felt comfortable with anyone taking her for walks, but with Sean I have total confidence and she is a much more relaxed dog when I come home:)”
About: Ive taken care of animals since I was 6 years old. I love caring for animals all shapes and sizes! I am a certified professional dog walker by the IAP Career college. I currently care for my beautiful 2 yr old Bernedoodle Luna who is an absolute joy to have around! Ill care for your furry friend as if they were like my own! My current availability is open Full-time and I work from around 7am-5pm on a typical day! I can do walks that length from 30 minutes to 1 hour. In my home I allow my pet around 5 hours of being inside the house. Then I will have her outside for playtime and feeding.
“Sara is absolutely wonderful with our new 4 month old puppy! She is great at responding back to messages, sends update pictures, and is just super sweet with our new family member. We will be continuing to use our services as she checks in on our puppy mon-fri 😊!!”
“We were very anxious to leave our cat Bambi alone for the weekend for the first time and even more stressed when our sitter fell through last minute. Dana was incredibly attentive and patiently accepted all of our requests for Bambi on short notice. I definitely felt so much more assured that Bambi wouldn’t be completely alone and would have someone as compassionate as Dana to accompany him :-) Dana’s updates on Bambi during check ins really reassured us that Bambi was doing well. and in good hands :-) i would definitely consider Dana again in the future ❤️”
“Tasha was a total angel with Shadow. He loved her and that makes me feel so good when I have to leave him. She is kind, loving and kept everything in the house organized and most important my baby was happy. We have found a new very special friend :)”
“Laetitia is wonderful! She took time to meet our two dogs before our first drop-in and my dogs liked her at first greeting. Laetitia took great care of our dogs! I appreciated her excellent communication, the pictures she sent, and the extra attention she provided. We looking forward to working with her again!”

“Shannon to the rescue and always takes good care of Sandy!! Would highly recommend Shannon for all your pet sitting needs. She’s caring and responds right away to any questions you may have.”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job dog sitting while we made a quick visit to an event. She had a beautiful backyard that was enclosed where they could run freely. She took them on walks and gave them all the cuddles. Really happy with their stay.”
“My dog had an amazing day playing with them and their dogs. Great communication, friendly, available last minute. Thank you. I would recommend and absolutely use them again.”
“Alicia and Christian were great with Rocco. You could tell he had a nice time. They were amazing at accommodating a relatively last minute booking request so super grateful. They were awesome! 🤍”
About: I have 8+ years dog-sitting experience with dogs of many different sizes and temperaments. Personally I have a 85 pound German Shepherd mix, Turbo, a 40 pound labradoodle, Maple, and an 80 pound Rottie/GSD mix named Tater. I thoroughly enjoy playing with them everyday and have learned many training techniques from raising them. I have a great deal of experience caring for a highly allergic and anxious dog. I understand the helplessness that can often come with trying to find a treatment that works. If your dog has allergies/skin issues, or any other special needs, I'm more than happy to help. Rest assured your dog will be given the love and attention they need to feel comfortable in my home. We do have 1 cat (named Sesame) who would prefer to be left alone. If your dog is very reactive around cats this will not be a good fit. I am a stay- at- home mom and my husband works from home, so we can offer a great amount of flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Your dog will be supervised 24/7 when in my care. I have a large (2.3 acre), fully-fenced backyard for optimal play! I have three friendly dogs who would love to show your dog all the best sniff spots. We also love going on walks, playing fetch, taking naps, and playing "find it." I've taken a dog CPR class to better understand the warning signs of a dog in distress, and what actions to take in an emergency. Being a pet parent myself, I greatly understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe and happy. Therefore, I will always send you multiple updates, with photos, every day throughout your dogs stay. Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd love to schedule a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet your pup!
“Sarah is an amazing sitter. She’s extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I thought my dog was going to be too energetic and difficult for her, but I was totally wrong. Definitely will be bringing my dog back again soon!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with caring for Biscuit! We were in Temecula for a wedding and she was available from late afternoon to evening. I really appreciated that she was flexible with the late pick up time. Melissa is awesome at keeping me up to date throughout the day care session. It was also great she let my dog roam around to get acclimated to her home and pups. I can’t recommend her services more if you’re in the Temecula area!”
“Nadia was so easy to schedule with. I really appreciated her prompt communication and how sweet she was with Lucy. Lucy had a great day with Nadia and we look forward to working with her again.”
“Thank you Malissa for taking care of our 5 month old puppy! I can tell that Daisy had a good time with you. She seemed so comfortable and happy around you when we picked her up! We’ll definitely be back!”
“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”
“We had a fantastic experience! We received photos and updates throughout the day, which made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were having a great time. They went on walks, got plenty of attention, and enjoyed socializing and playing with other dogs. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy. We truly appreciate the love and care they received and would highly recommend this sitter/daycare to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and reliable place for their pets. We will definitely book again!”
“We are in love with this family! The love shown the minute we stepped foot in their beautiful home. Of course Coco took it upon herself to check everything out including the backyard. Thank you for the peace of mind knowing Coco was in a safe and peaceful play made all the difference in the world. See you soon!”
About: I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. We ADORE all animals! Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a huge heart and could not live without animals in my life. I am very active and look forward to the opportunity to walk, play and love on your pets! For the past 40+ years I have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, horses and more. I recently lost my Great Dane after a decade of getting to love him. He had DCM since he was a puppy so I have extensive knowledge of caring for that, giant breed needs and know how to track and administer many medications. Being a stay at home mom I've often thought about walking and caring for other animals while they're humans are away at work or vacay! I recently discovered Rover and know this is a perfect fit for me! I am very patient and have experience with all areas of pet care from walking to medication dosing and everything in between! I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a very large, completely fenced in yard with a locked gate. We are taking a break from pet ownership and would love to open our home to care for your animals. I have experience caring for dogs and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long or shorter walks, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels happy and secure.
“We’ve been bringing Marley to May for two weeks now, and we couldn’t be happier! As pawrents, it’s never easy trusting someone else with your fur baby, but May has been exceptional. It’s clear that Marley is well taken care of, and that means everything to us. Knowing Marley is in good hands while we’re at work gives us so much peace of mind. She truly cares for Marley the same way we do, and that’s rare to find. Thank you, May. We’re grateful.”
“Mal has had a confusing time because his alpha, my husband, died unexpectedly last week, and he's had to move house on top of it. He is a rescue and already had separation anxiety. But he had a great time with Sandra, playing with other dogs, with plenty of room to run around, and was he was happy and not insecure when I picked him up both days. Thank you Sandra! Thank you for loving animals!”
“Carrie is fantastic! Roswell is our first dog we have had as a couple and we have been a little nervous about leaving him while we work during the day. When he is with Carrie, we have no worries! He always is so happy when he arrives at her home and has an amazing time in her dog friendly yard with dogs his size to play with. We don’t have to worry about him getting hurt, since she only takes small dogs. The yard and safe and has so much room for running and playing! Roswell is such a happy and tired boy when he gets home from Carrie’s. Carrie is a lifesaver for working dog parents!”
“Sierra was great with my dog. Took her on a last minute booking and was super flexible. My dog can be anxious with new settings and she immediately connected with sierra and settled right in at the little dog haven they have created.”
“I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly my dogs warmed up to Robert. They both tend to be wary around new people, but they were both immediately at ease and by the end of the visit were even giving Robert kisses. Also appreciated how communicative Robert was leading up to and during their stay!”
“Robert graciously accepted my same-day request when I needed to come to that part of town to run errands, but didn't want to leave my dog Shelby in the car all day. He was wonderfully communicative during her visit, sending lots of photo updates and video. Shelby must have had a great stay, because she slept the hour drive home in the car. I would recommend Robert's service to anyone and will definitely be returning! Thanks Robert!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I’m gentle with pets of all ages, personalities, and abilities, and I’m never afraid to get down on the floor and take the time to earn their trust, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’ve rescued and cared for animals in some pretty challenging situations, including dogs on the streets experiencing severe heat stroke and emergencies during Southeast Missouri’s extreme weather. I’ve also fostered kittens who were sick and needed extra care, patience, and nurturing before they were healthy enough to be adopted. I’ve always had a dog since the day I was born. I started raising my own dogs since I was about 9 years old, and I’ve been involved in house training, crate training, maintaining daily routines, and administering medications according to their prescribed instructions and labels. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure pets stay on their normal schedules while their owners are away. I’m also a clean freak, and I believe taking care of your home is part of taking care of your pets. I’ve personally experienced coming home to dirty litter boxes, pet vomit, stains, and messes that weren’t cleaned up after previous sitters. That’s something I never want a pet owner to experience. If your pet makes a mess, I clean it up. I’ll keep litter boxes maintained, clean up accidents, vomit, tracked-in dirt, and other everyday pet messes, and leave your home the way I found it, or better. To me, pet sitting isn’t just about making sure a pet is fed and let outside. It’s about making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood while their person is away. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most at home. Animals deserve the world in the short time we get with them, and I want to make sure I give them that. I recently relocated back home to Temecula from my college town in Missouri and currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for a part-time job. I’m a stay-at-home fiancé and pet mom to two dogs and two cats, so I’m already home caring for pets every day! My pets are all spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, and social. I’m currently available throughout the day, with my only regular commitment being about two hours at the gym. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and work around their routines. My dogs wake me up at 6am on the dot to go potty and eat breakfast, and at 5pm they are ready for dinner. I value my pets’ routines because without them, I wouldn’t have a routine myself I have a fully fenced backyard where my inside dogs are able to safely go outside throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and cues-if they’re telling me they need to go out, I let them lead me to the backyard rather than making them wait. I have a 35-lb female Terrier/Lab mix and an 80-lb female Silver Lab. Both spayed and up-to-date on their shots. My Silver Lab is a gentle giant who was especially popular with the “littles” at doggy daycare, often spending time with the 10–25 lb dogs. She was also raised around my grandma’s Yorkies, so she’s very comfortable around smaller dogs. Your pet will always be treated like the VIP! I’ll make sure your pet gets priority during playtime and attention, even if that means taking the ball away from my own dog so your pup gets a turn!🎾
“Kristine is my trusted and go to caretaker for my dogs while I’m away. She gives me such a peace of mind while I’m away. She’s prompt. Helpful. And responds immediately! I appreciate you so much Kristine thank you”
“Angeline is amazing! She is so sweet and I appreciate her taking time out on Thanksgiving to walk my dog. I felt at ease knowing my dog was getting a much needed walk and lots of love and attention. I will definitely be a repeat customer next time I take a vacation. Thank you so much!!!!”
About: I have been trusted by friends and family to pet sit the past 3 years. I love all animals the same and have owned multiple pets my whole life. I am working part time and college part time with a flexible afternoon schedule. Mornings on Friday-Sundays are always great and give me lots of free time. I have a secure fenced in backyard with chickens separated to the side. We have a dog crate inside. At this time I do not offer boarding while I am trying to train my puppy.
“I was surprised by how much I like Joshua as a dog sitter. I’ve been using Rover for 3 years, and have liked all my sitters, but Josh is the best. I have 2 dogs that I spoil, so they can be a little… sensitive? I arranged a ‘meet & greet’ with Josh, and the dogs loved him. Josh is really caring and professional, and asked all the right questions about keeping them happy while I’m away. His head and heart are really in this. It’s great having a sitter who I trust, who’s really reliable. ?”
About: I’ve loved being around animals since I was born and I’ve had quite a few pets. Pigs, rabbits, cats, and dogs I’ve had them all and loved them more than anything. I’ve adopted a lot of rescues and have had a lot of experience with tons of different breeds and ages. Ive owned a few senior dogs and they have a close place in my heart. I’ve had my own dog walking and sitting business since I was 10 and I’ve taken care of a lot of peoples furry babies. I currently have three dogs of my own and they truly are family. ❤️ I’m currently working part-time so I have a very flexible schedule to give your pets the time and care they need. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or keeping up with your pets routine, I’m very committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since I have pets of my own, to protect your pets and mine, I only am offering care in my clients homes. I think that pets are most comfortable in their own familiar environment where they can feel secure while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow instructions very carefully. This includes feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication (if needed), and any special routines for your pets. I make sure that your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while also respecting their own personalities and boundaries. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return home.
About: hi there!!! thanks for stopping by, i would love to meet your animal and keep him or her company while you’re working. i have three dogs of my own and i’m so excited to get started on rover. 🐾 currently driving my kids to and from school and various sports, so i’m available for drop ins and play dates with your pet while the kids are in school. happy to come by for play dates. our dogs that we have are so happy and well loved and taken care of. rover is such a great fit for me and my family’s life, especially because of my love for animals.
“Samantha is terrific with our “kids” and they really enjoy having someone to get them out to stretch their legs! Looking forward to many many more walks and adventures! Thank you Sam!! “Josh & Fiddler!””
About: Puppy cleanup, Obedience training or freestyle, Heinz 57 to AKC, I enjoy their company and I can keep them safe when our and about or at home. I am available for this work 7 days a week and holidays. From morning through evening. I especially like working with your babies on Sundays. I do dog walking and pet sitting in your home. Dogs and cats. Puppies and kittens. Big litters are ok too. Brushing, leash training. Many skills.
About: My headline is probably my most asked question anywhere I go lol. My family has had a multitude of different pets over the years, so I actually know how to care for a lot of animals including an African bullfrog if you can believe that. I've also been house sitting/dog sitting for friends and family for years. I'm also really good with cautious dogs, I know how to make a dog who doesn't like strangers warm up to me. It might take a little while but eventually they love me. As far as walks go I love walks and who better to do it with than a dog? But I'm also conscientious of heat, where to walk on hot days so their paws don't burn and water for us to drink. I have a decent amount of control of my work time. So I am able to take breaks when needed to take animals for quick walks, playtime, and of course potty breaks. My goal is not to leave animals without these types of interactions for more than 5 hours at a time. Of course for special needs animals and puppies this can be appropriately adjusted. I strive to keep animals at ease by keeping their normal routine. So I often ask about what the animals normal day looks like and plan accordingly.
About: Ive taken care of dogs whether its my own and friends or neighbors. I can walk, feed, bathe ultimately any kind of care a dog needs I can di. I play soccer most days of the week usually during 6-8 but my schedule does change from time to time. I also have school but I am capable of taking care of dogs at anytime, I will work to be flexible for your dogs needs. At my clinets homes I make sure they always have fresh water, go out to use the restroom multiple times a day, that they are always fed. I am good at making sure a dog is comfortable and not stressed out about any situation.
“Rachel continues to be a stellar dog walker for our cavapoo, Milo. She is incredibly reliable and friendly and very responsive. Love that she has been taking care of Milo and us!”
About: I've been around dogs and other animals for as long as I can remember. Currently I have a kitten and 2 dogs who I walk regularly; one being a lab and the other a small poodle/chihuahua mix so I have experience with both small and big dog! I am also nanny and house/dog sit their sweet lab frequently! I have experience with puppies, kittens and elder animals as well! I currently work part time as a nanny and am in college taking online courses so I will have lots of time to dedicate to your furry family member! When I care for others animals I usually take some time to learn more about who the animal is according to their owner and shift my attention to fit each one I care for !

“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dog chip. They took him in tons of walks, went to the park, and gave him lots of love. They treated him as if he were their own. He LOVED Their dog turbo! They got along wonderfully. They sent picture updates multiple times a day which made us feel so comforted. We HIGHLY recommend!”
“Sara was awesome with my pet Choco. She always sent updates and pics. She treated my pet the way I do which is what I look for in a sitter. I have booked another sitting for my Pet with Sara. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a temporary home for their pet.”
“Caddy was LOVED and so well taken care of. Malissa was amazing! Great communicator, cuddled and loved on my dog and walked her and gave her all the attention in the world. My dog is spoiled! And she did not want to come home when we picked her up. I was hesitant booking with multiple dogs and was happy to find that Malissa took 1-2 dogs at a time. It was only caddy this time and she had a little puppy. Good to know my dog behaved and I will book her over and over in the future. Malissa offers multiple services so anything you need, she can do!”
“Savannah took amazing care of our puppy, Luna, during her weekend stay! This was Luna’s first time boarding overnight, and Savannah made the whole experience so easy and comforting for us. She kept us updated, communicated really well, and Luna was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when we picked her up. Savannah’s home is clean and welcoming, and Luna clearly enjoyed her time there. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Savannah again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”
“Stephen did a great job taking care of our Australian Shepherd. Super responsive on all communication. Provided pictures and updates during our trip and She came back afterward super happy and healthy. Couldn't ask for more.”
“Angelica was exceptional!!! She took such great care of our Daisy girl while we were away! She sent lots of pictures, updates, and treated Daisy like her own! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Cheryl was very accommodating with our two Corgis and she was great with communication with us! Our boys were well cared-for. We would highly recommend Cheryl...A+++ Thank you!”
“John was very polite upon meeting and seemed to do a fantastic job at taking care of my dog Henny. Very responsive and sent me photos daily. Would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely rebook again. Thank you John!”
“Sierra took great care of my babies. One of my pups had a cut on his paw and she treated it as asked and had him wearing his cone (even though he hated it). When we picked them up they were happy. We were nervous because our pups can have a hard time adjusting to new places but Sierra let us know they did take some time but eventually settled and got comfortable. She also sent pictures/updates which I loved 😊”
“Sahar and her son were amazing! This was the first time I've boarded my sweet Sadie and it was a wonderful experience. They were very commutative, very friendly and welcoming. I was provided videos and pics, as well as such a cute report card. Sadie was well loved and taken care of. You can tell they truly love taking care of caring for dogs and I'll deff book again. Thank you!”
“May was so amazing!!!! Our sweet senior dogs can get nervous with new people.. but not with May. She warmed up to her right away. We loved that she doesn’t watch a bunch of dogs at once so you know your baby is getting a personal experience. I never had to be the one to reach out to see if Luna was okay because she sent multiple photos and updates all day!! I didn’t have to worry about Luna once which is huge for me. We cant thank May enough. Luna cant wait to go back and hang with her dog Teddy too. :) will recommend her to everyone!!!”
“Extremely happy with my bookings with Rachelle. She took good care of my pupps. Sent constant updates and pics of happiness. So happy to have found you. Looking forward to booking with again in the future. Thanks very much Rachelle. I appreciate you.”
“Dana is amazing! You can feel her passion for animals with just the first conversation. I was a little anxious to be leaving my pup with his first Rover on account that he has seizures but Dana took all my worries away. Nacho did not want to come back with us, he loved Dana so much! Not only was she so sweet but she also did a fantastic job grooming my boy. He is so anxious around grooming tools but she was patient and had him looking like a little gentleman. She truly is a gem!”
“Thank you for taking care and keeping me informed of my dog’s wellbeing while we were away. I appreciate how quick you are letting me know of the episode he had. Thankfully our dog had recovered quickly and he was okay.”
“This was my first time boarding my dog with rover. Briana and Charles were awesome. They took care of my little dog very well. They sent me pictures every day and communicate very well. If I could I would give them 10 stars.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jessica, who watched Jo’Jo’ for three nights. She was very loving and attentive with him, and she kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear Jo’Jo’ was well cared for, and we truly appreciated the kindness and attention Jessica gave him. Highly recommend!”
