“Savanah is wonderful with Bailey! He goes right to her and settles in. We know Bailey is safe and well cared for. And we had a little change in schedule, with Savanah being flexible and easy to work with. We hope to book her again soon!”
“Whitney always takes such good care of our Bentley. He’s been boarding with Whitney for 4 years now and we do not plan on going to anyone else to take care of our baby.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ami for our dog sitting needs. She is reliable, quick to respond and has always been able to help us with such short notice. We appreciate that she sends us daily updates. We know Darwin is in a good place when he zooms up the stairs at drop-off!”
“Linda Jean is everything you could hope for in a Rover sitter. She took wonderful care of Lucy and gave detailed updates along with photos. Lucy was happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We’d love to have Linda Jean sit for us again.”
“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking again!”
“My dog is very shy and can get aggressive around other dogs because of her fear. She really enjoyed her stay at Cerita's house. She appeared to very comfortable there even with the other dogs. Cerita and her children were very welcoming.”
“After a year, I booked Josh once again and I can say that he is the best. Milo, was a bit unsure since its been a while since he saw Josh but I knew he was in good hands. He is very communicative and will always be ready to send you pictures or videos of your fur baby.”
“We’ve now completed two trial daycare days and two trial boarding stays with Mark, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Mello has separation anxiety, so we wanted to make sure she truly felt safe and comfortable before her official boarding. Mark has been incredibly patient, thoughtful, and genuinely caring every step of the way. He really goes above and beyond — he even brings Mello along with him when he’s out running quick errands like picking up pizza or McDonald’s, just so she can feel included and never alone. It’s clear he’s not just watching dogs — he’s trying to be their best friend. The biggest and most wonderful surprise: we had arranged trazodone for Mello to help with her anxiety and sleep, but she’s become so comfortable and happy there that she no longer needs it to rest well at night. That means everything to us. We’re heading into her official boarding stay next, and we feel completely confident she’ll have a great time. Thank you, Mark, for caring for Mello like your own!”
“Ana was so helpful in caring for our dog last minute! We needed to board our dog with almost no notice and then I even booked the stay for one day short. Ana was so accommodating and treated our dog like family.”
“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Susanne took great care of my dog! She was very kind and understanding of my dog’s needs, and my dog enjoyed his stay. I appreciated the regular pictures and updates that she sends. I definitely recommend booking with Susanne, and I’ll be sure to book again when needed!”
“The minute we met Hana, something told us our dog Pollie would receive excellent care. And she did! Every day Hana sent videos of Pollie reassuring us that all was well. (We hadn’t left her in the care of someone else in the past 9 years.) Without a doubt we would trust Hana to care for Pollie again in the future.”
“Highly recommended! My 12 year old Husky Zeus had a great time while I was out of town. I was updated along the way and sent pictures of him enjoying his self. Will definitely use Kylie and Anthony again in the near future!”
“Todd and Bill were AMAZING! They took such great care of our dog and sent daily updates with photos and videos. This was the longest we had ever left our dog for a stay, but Todd and Bill made sure to ease our minds while we were away. It seems like our dog had a great time because he passed out on the couch almost as soon as we got home! They even washed a blanket we left for our dog to relax on, so it was fresh and clean when we got home. Their attention to detail was highly appreciated and we will definitely be using their services again in the future! Thank you again Todd and Bill, we really appreciated your care in taking care of our precious cargo :)”
“very happy with the boarding we had with Alyssa. She was the perfect amount of communicative and sent photos daily with how my dog was doing. I know my dog had a great time as well since she knocked out as soon as she got home from all the fun she had”
“I can't recommend Jason highly enough for dog boarding! My dog, Nova, stayed with him and his lovely family for two weeks, and I was genuinely impressed. I received regular updates, complete with pictures and videos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. Not only did Jason provide excellent care, but he also took the time to do some training with Nova, which I appreciate immensely. As a thoughtful touch, he even gave Nova some gifts and a gift card, showing his kindness and dedication. Thank you, Jason, for taking such great care of my baby. Nova had a fantastic time, and I’ll definitely bring him back!”
“Marissa and her partner took amazing care of my Frenchie! I received daily updates, and it was clear he was having a great time. He came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Michelle was amazing with my pup Maddy. Drop off and pick up we’re a breeze and she sent me updates and pictures while we were away. Maddy had a great time with her and we will definitely use her again the next time we are out of town!”

“I had such a great experience with her! My cat can be a little particular with new people, but she warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. She showed up exactly when she said she would, followed all my instructions carefully, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was done properly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
About: I bring hands-on experience and a genuine understanding of animals to every visit. I’ve volunteered in animal shelters, where I worked with pets of all temperaments, and I’m also a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat—so I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, cats, and multi-pet households, and I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very structured and disciplined. As a Division 1 athlete, I train almost twice a day, which has taught me strong time management, consistency, and reliability qualities I bring into every pet sitting job. Outside of training, I make time for my family and friends, but I keep my schedule flexible and plan ahead so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m able to adapt and provide dependable, consistent support for both pets and their owners. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on a routine that feels familiar to them. In my home, I provide a clean, calm environment with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention based on each pet’s energy level and personality. I’m mindful of introductions and space, especially since I have both a dog and a cat, and I make sure every animal feels secure and respected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I take time to understand each pet’s habits and preferences so they experience as little disruption as possible. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Stefanie took amazing care of our 2 fur babies. I love that she got on their level and played with them! Our cats were well loved while we went on vacation for a week. Highly recommend and we will be returning customers!! Thank you Stefanie.”
“Jane was an incredible sitter for our kitties who were on their own for the first time. She took the time to come over before our trip so she could meet our cats who are scared around new people. She was very interactive during her visits, sending pictures and keeping us updated. Our shy cat waffle even warmed up to her and came out to see her. Could not recommend Jane enough!”
“Caity is a wonderful cat sitter. Kind, patient communicative, and thorough, she took incredible care of our beloved cat, Kuma, over 2 days. She took the time to get to know Kuma and make him comfortable with her presence. She quickly read his moods and needs, and made Kuma's first extended stint alone as easy as possible for both him and us - going well above and beyond what we had hoped. She sent us multiple fantastic photos and a report on how he was doing each visit - very comforting for two first-time cat owners. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat and are so happy to have found Caity!”
“Whitney was extremely friendly, easy to schedule with, and went above and beyond caring for our rude cat. Whitney communicated with us really well, and kept everything very tidy. Thank you!!”
“Alicia took such great care of my older cat while I was away for an extended period. She was always communicative and sent many pictures each visit, and I felt relieved knowing my cat was being well cared for! I'm very appreciative!”
About: I have had the opportunity to have cats as additions to our family. Sassie was a sweet Himalayan, Rocky a smart long hair, Max our only orange cat, and Peaches our calico. We have great memories with each of our cats.
“Audrey took very good care of our kitties when we were out of town for a couple of days. She sent some cute pictures and always responded in a very timely manner to our texts.”
About: I've loved animals my whole life and treat them as I do my own children with much TLC. I feel animals are just as important and need care as much as we do. They are the most genuine and purest form of love and friendship one can endure. I used to run a infant and toddler home daycare and now I'm interested in expanding my pet sitting business. I have more free time as I've closed the home business and venturing out in pet care. I prefer care in the owner's home where the pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I will feed, pickup droppings, walk and snuggle.
“Mackenzie was amazing! She took care of our cat like he was her own. My cat loved her. She was very communicative and sent pictures with every visit. We’re very impressed, and will definitely be using her services again in the future. Can’t recommend her enough”
“Sara was amazing! Communicative and personable. I felt really safe knowing she was looking out for my cat and I would work with her anytime again in the future.”
“Madalyn has been such a great help when we travel. One of my cats always comes out to greet her while the other is such a scardy cat, he hides. She always leaves an update with pictures giving us peace of mind.”
“Devon did a great job with my doggo! She has great ideas for training that I haven’t thought of and she seems to naturally attuned to what he is thinking and what he needs. My dog is really odd, so this is not an easy feat. I’m really glad that I found Devon and I will definitely seek her help with Tucker long term!”
“We had Le Lee stay overnight with our 2 cats and they loved her! We have one cat who’s really social, loves to play and needs to be played with a lot so he doesn’t cause trouble, Le Lee gave him all the attention he needed and played with him until he was tired. Our other cat is super skittish and mostly hides when people come over. She has been known to hide the whole time when sitters are there but she was out and playing with Le Lee within the same day (amazing because she never does that!) Le Lee sent lots of pictures and updates for us which reassured me that everything was going well, and I wasn’t worried at all. She also was available last minute and made time to come do a meet and greet with us and the cats beforehand. I would highly recommend her for your pets, and I’ll definitely be asking her to stay with our cats again next time! Thank you so much Le Lee!”

“Incredibly kind people and flexible. They have a few dogs that my 4 month old puppy played with. When I got home she went to sleep right away so it seemed like she had plenty of fun! Thanks guys. I will be coming back for your help!”
“Whitney was great! Ghost is home sleeping like a baby. I’m glad she enjoyed her time with Whitney, and we have a person we trust to take Ghost to when we need it. I appreciate the updates and communication.”
“Our dog Ziggy loves going to Josh's! Josh has a perfect outdoor and indoor set up and gives Zig lots of attention and love while he's there. Ziggy always comes back super happy.”
“Susanee is an excellent dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, Zhuangzhuang, and there was also another Bernese dog for them to play with, which helped Zhuangzhuang burn off a lot of energy. Plus, Susanee has a large, fenced yard, perfect for active pets. Zhuangzhuang had a fantastic day!”
“Rebecca was amazing. I requested the night before, and she made room for Pancake the next day. She had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and kiddos at the house and came home to zonk out. Thank you so much for giving her such fun days!”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.
“Mark has been wonderful to work with. Our dog, Mello, has some anxiety around new environments, so we arranged a test daycare day before the official boarding dates. Mark has been incredibly patient and thoughtful in helping Mello get comfortable. We really appreciate how willing he is to work with us and plan a few more test daycare and boarding days ahead of the actual stay. It’s clear he truly cares about making sure the dogs in his care feel safe and supported. Based on this experience, we’re very confident Mello will have a great time during his upcoming stays.”
About: We’re a dog-loving family of four offering a calm, safe place for your pup to feel at home. I’ve had dogs since I was 10, so caring for them is second nature, and your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. Our dog, Sunshine, is a 4-year-old Aussiedoodle who is incredibly sweet and great with other dogs. She can be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and loves having a buddy around. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention throughout the day—whether that’s hanging out nearby, playing outside, or just relaxing. We have a fully fenced yard with real grass, lots of plants to sniff, and a sunny patio for lounging. Inside, our home is very low-key and relaxed. We also have two kids (15 and 12) who are gentle, respectful, and love spending time with dogs. Whether your pup wants to play, nap, or just be near people, we create a comfortable, easygoing environment where they can settle in and feel safe. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am with my dog, Sunshine, all day. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and can spend the day hanging out with me, getting attention, and going in and out of the yard as they like. Our routine is pretty low-key and flexible, so I’m able to adjust to each dog’s needs—whether that’s more playtime, rest, or sticking to a specific schedule. Walks, feeding, and outdoor time are all built into the day, and evenings are calm with the whole family around. Because this is already how our home operates, adding another dog feels very natural and not like a disruption to our routine. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I work from home, they get plenty of attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. Dogs are free to relax inside, spend time with us, or play in our fully fenced yard. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions you provide.
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
“Kylie is very responsive and communicates well, which I appreciate. My dog enjoys his days playing with their 2 dogs and others they care for. I’ll definitely continue using their services.”
“Alyssa was fantastic! She responded promptly, she provided great care and feedback, she has a great setup, and I'm looking to book her again this week and beyond!”

“Paige is wonderful with my dog, who has leash anxiety. As our regular dog walker, she is always punctual and communicative. On our first visit, Paige took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his triggers, routines, allergies, treats, and do’s and don’ts before starting. She handled him calmly and patiently, making safety and positive interactions a clear priority. I really appreciated how attentive and understanding she is, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience being around animals of all kinds and my genuine love for caring for them. From dogs and pigs to chickens and ducks, I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and needs. I started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends in high school, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, overnight care, and making pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means energetic playtime or relaxing cuddles on the couch. I currently work full time Monday to Friday, but I have the flexibility to leave should I need to do a drop by throughout the day. I currently provide care in my client’s home, where I make it a priority to not only care for your pets, but also respect and maintain your space. I carefully follow all instructions and routines to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Communication is very important to me, so I will always reach out with any questions or updates to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. My goal is to leave both your pets happy and your home just as clean as when I arrived.

About: I've been around cats since I was born, and there has always been a cat in my family. Now, I have my own cat named Sia. I make sure to respect a cat's space and avoid bothering them if they're not interested. However, I'm always open to giving hugs and pets if they seek it. I’m self-employed photographer. Mostly I work at home editing photos. So it is a pleasure to get out of home for some time to see new pets. My cat is chill and she usually doesn’t like to be pet and I’m not forcing until she asks for it. She sleeps with me in the bed , however she is grumpy at morning time and always wants to sleep in. Also we always play together hide and seek and just with her toys. I tried to go out with her once she isn’t big fan of it so we decided to keep it chill and be just at home.

Fast paced and playful or laid-back and lounging, conforming to your pets lifestyle is important to me - I also send updates at least once a day, as well as pictures, so you don’t miss your babies too much! About Me: As a full time sitter, I get lots of 1 on 1 time with my furry guests!

I am also well versed in administering medications (liquid, pill, and subcutaneous) to pets with special needs and health conditions, including senior dogs (I love a frosted face!) I have a darling, 15 year old, Chinese Crested named Kovu who spends her golden years napping and welcoming her furry friends with a sniff and a shake. Having two special needs dogs in recent years, I know how hard it is to leave your little loves behind. I am also independently insured as a pet sitter, daycare provider, pet trainer, and pet taxi through Pet Care Insurance (PCI). About My Home: My home features a large, fenced-in yard on a quiet street with tons of space for pups to run around and play. When the weather allows, they’re given free rein of the inside and outside of my home. The maximum time a dog is ever alone in my home is 2 hours (when I need to grocery shop or go to an appointment), but there is always a dog-loving adult family member home in case of an unexpected emergency. I am not a sitter who boards as many pets as possible, as that is too stressful on the dogs and is not the kind of care I would want my baby to receive. I only allow up to 2 pet families to book on any day, and my rates reflect the individual attention, love, and calm environment that your pups receive in my care. I like to have a hands-on approach when pet sitting, and anything we can do together, we do together! Pups love coming over to my home because they know they’re in for a fun time!

“Savanah is wonderful with Bailey! He goes right to her and settles in. We know Bailey is safe and well cared for. And we had a little change in schedule, with Savanah being flexible and easy to work with. We hope to book her again soon!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ami for our dog sitting needs. She is reliable, quick to respond and has always been able to help us with such short notice. We appreciate that she sends us daily updates. We know Darwin is in a good place when he zooms up the stairs at drop-off!”
“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking again!”
“My dog is very shy and can get aggressive around other dogs because of her fear. She really enjoyed her stay at Cerita's house. She appeared to very comfortable there even with the other dogs. Cerita and her children were very welcoming.”
“We’ve now completed two trial daycare days and two trial boarding stays with Mark, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Mello has separation anxiety, so we wanted to make sure she truly felt safe and comfortable before her official boarding. Mark has been incredibly patient, thoughtful, and genuinely caring every step of the way. He really goes above and beyond — he even brings Mello along with him when he’s out running quick errands like picking up pizza or McDonald’s, just so she can feel included and never alone. It’s clear he’s not just watching dogs — he’s trying to be their best friend. The biggest and most wonderful surprise: we had arranged trazodone for Mello to help with her anxiety and sleep, but she’s become so comfortable and happy there that she no longer needs it to rest well at night. That means everything to us. We’re heading into her official boarding stay next, and we feel completely confident she’ll have a great time. Thank you, Mark, for caring for Mello like your own!”
“Susanne took great care of my dog! She was very kind and understanding of my dog’s needs, and my dog enjoyed his stay. I appreciated the regular pictures and updates that she sends. I definitely recommend booking with Susanne, and I’ll be sure to book again when needed!”
“The minute we met Hana, something told us our dog Pollie would receive excellent care. And she did! Every day Hana sent videos of Pollie reassuring us that all was well. (We hadn’t left her in the care of someone else in the past 9 years.) Without a doubt we would trust Hana to care for Pollie again in the future.”
“Highly recommended! My 12 year old Husky Zeus had a great time while I was out of town. I was updated along the way and sent pictures of him enjoying his self. Will definitely use Kylie and Anthony again in the near future!”
“Todd and Bill were AMAZING! They took such great care of our dog and sent daily updates with photos and videos. This was the longest we had ever left our dog for a stay, but Todd and Bill made sure to ease our minds while we were away. It seems like our dog had a great time because he passed out on the couch almost as soon as we got home! They even washed a blanket we left for our dog to relax on, so it was fresh and clean when we got home. Their attention to detail was highly appreciated and we will definitely be using their services again in the future! Thank you again Todd and Bill, we really appreciated your care in taking care of our precious cargo :)”
“very happy with the boarding we had with Alyssa. She was the perfect amount of communicative and sent photos daily with how my dog was doing. I know my dog had a great time as well since she knocked out as soon as she got home from all the fun she had”
“I can't recommend Jason highly enough for dog boarding! My dog, Nova, stayed with him and his lovely family for two weeks, and I was genuinely impressed. I received regular updates, complete with pictures and videos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. Not only did Jason provide excellent care, but he also took the time to do some training with Nova, which I appreciate immensely. As a thoughtful touch, he even gave Nova some gifts and a gift card, showing his kindness and dedication. Thank you, Jason, for taking such great care of my baby. Nova had a fantastic time, and I’ll definitely bring him back!”
“Marissa and her partner took amazing care of my Frenchie! I received daily updates, and it was clear he was having a great time. He came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Outstanding —she goes above and beyond by keeping me informed about my fur baby entire day. I truly appreciate the photos, texts, and constant communication that made me feel less anxious when I was away.”
“Outstanding pet sitter. Kept us updated at all times on our baby’s status. Huge plus was her prior experience with bully breeds and their various, mysterious ways. Felt comfortable right away after leaving her behind. Jocy is super detail oriented and very attentive to all doggie needs. We would absolutely book her again. 100% recommend. Thanks Jocy!”
“Shakyra took great care of our pup and sent picture updates which were greatly appreciated! Will definitely leave our pup with Shakyra again and highly recommend”
“I cannot recommend Katelyn and Paul enough! They were great with sending photos and keeping me updated while I was out of town. Basil is exhausted from all the fun she had, and I know she was taken care of and loved while I was gone.”
“Anar took wonderful care of our dog Ace for a full 8 days during Christmas and the new year. She kept us updated daily with pictures and how he was doing. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Shelby and her family were kind enough to allow my pup to spend the holidays with them. She is an energetic dog, so knowing she was being taken on walks, runs, to the dog park, etc. meant so much! If you’re looking for your pup to get lots of love and playtime, highly recommend Shelby!”
