“Sana and her family were great with our little brat. She kept a good amount of daily updates and was very quick to communicate with any questions we had. Bentley came home happy and content. Thank you family for caring for our old baby.”
“Lori is a natural caretaker. She provided so much love and attention to Zara, my standard poodle. I could see how much fun Zara was having through the photogenic pictures Lori sent each day. Lori's 1-acre of land is such a plus for the dogs to run and play. At the end of the stay, Zara and Lori were both sad to part. That speaks volumes about the wonderful level of care your pet will receive while staying with Lori. Book her now!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with dogs and now owning cats as well. Because of this, I have a deep understanding of both canine and feline personalities. I am highly experienced in keeping dogs happy and active through regular walks, engaging playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is incredibly flexible, making it very easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I take regular breaks throughout the day to stretch and go on walks, which is the perfect opportunity to give your dog some exercise and fresh air. When caring for pets in my home, safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. My cats have their own dedicated room and separate space, which allows guest pets to have plenty of room to relax in their own environment without any forced contact. I ensure they have a secure, stress-free setup where they can follow their usual routine, explore safely, and feel completely comfortable at their own pace.
“Brandy was absolutely fantastic in caring for our senior dog. She showed such genuine concern and attentiveness to his needs, making sure he felt comfortable and at ease in her home. Koda was exceptionally well looked after, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Brandy to anyone in need of a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
“Erin is a very kind, caring, and professional pet sitter. I have a young puppy, and she took amazing care of Luna during her overnight stay. Not only is Erin knowledgeable about pet care, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Since Luna is still a puppy and can be nervous in new environments, Erin took extra time to help her adjust. She even created a cozy sleeping space and set up a crate for her, which made a huge difference. Erin’s home is very pet-friendly, clean, safe, and well-organized, with everything needed to care for animals properly. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. Honestly, Erin is one of the best pet sitters we’ve had so far, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. ☺️🫶🏼🐾”
“Olena is a fantastic dog sitter! Quick responses, plenty of photos and videos, and gave us peace of mind for our entire trip. We know Sophia got plenty of love. We picked up a happy and healthy dog and couldn’t be more satisfied!”
“Chris really did me a solid taking Marshall in for the weekend. He was always in communication, sent a few pictures during each day, and managed to keep on top of my boy’s endless energy. When I picked him up, my dog was trying to get me to stay there, which I take as a great sign for how much he enjoyed his stay with Chris.”
“Boba had a great time! He spent time with a few old friends. Towards the end of his stay, Tiffany alerted us that he had issues with healing wound on his paw. (He injured himself the night before our trip.) She was great with caring for and monitoring him. She sent us updates and he was better by the time we picked him up. Tiffany gave him a bath since he had an extended stay which is so helpful. It’s one less thing for us to do when getting things in order at home after a trip.”
“Pico was so well taken care of, and his stay was smooth from beginning to end. I was sent regular updates with pictures and video, so I appreciate the helpful and thoughtful communication. We will definitely be using their services again for Pico!”
About: I am a PET LOVER . I treat my furry four legged friends like family members. My house consists of three young children 12 and under who adore pets and are a huge part of the positive environment in my home - lots of love and warmth. During the most part of the day ... the kids are at school. My husband works from home and I'm currently at home not working. I have one five year old Golden Retriever and one fifteen year old Siamese cat who sleeps for the majority of time. I allow my dog to roam downstairs which is plenty of space for first floor. My entire house is 3400 square feet . The dogs are welcome to go in and out as they please . My fenced in backyard space will allow for plenty of sunshine and lizard watching time ( my dogs favorite thing to do). There are dog beds - several around the lower level and my husbands office is downstairs so this is where copper hangs out most of the day . Please feel free to send your pets own bed or comfort items. My furry guy gets walks during the day and also frequent visits to the dog park for ball throwing which he absolutely adores . I can either stick to leashed walks or happy to take your baby along to get a ball throwing work out . I have been around pets my whole life. Whatever it is you need or request--I can handle . Special diet, medication and seniors - I've done it all. I am currently not working and spend a lot of time in the house besides dropping my kids to and from school. They will get plenty of human interaction, rubs , walks and treats ! Our house is bustling with energy while the kids are home. If it's a week day then it will be quiet most of the day while they are at school. Copper and any dog friends visiting get to come and go as they please . We have a fenced in back yard. Copper loves to get sunshine , vitamin D and his favorite acvitivty is patrolling the premises for lizards that may be hiding under patio furniture or the deck box. My husband works from home and has his office downstairs so copper loves to hang out in there and be next to his human friend while he's resting . I have lots of dog beds placed in various spots around the house . I only let copper ( and his dog friends) downstairs which is very spacious. The dogs are allowed to lay on the couch. They will get walks and trips to the dog park for ball throwing if they like that sort of thing (my boy loves playing catch). I am excited to welcome your baby inside my home while you are away.
About: I am new to Rover but not new to pet or house sitting in general. I have sat dogs and cats while family and friends have gone on extended vacations. I am fully background checked (teacher by trade). I love to go on walks and am great with consistency/expectations if your dog is in a training program. I am a teacher who is off for the summer with no vacation plans! I can dedicate a lot of time to checking on your cat or taking care of your dog. Dogs will have the run of the downstairs and opportunities for backyard play during the day but will be expected to stay crated/in pen at night. Feedings happen on the schedule you provide and dogs will get at least two walks a day. Doggos will be treated like they belong in my house. If interested in drop ins for cat care, I will play with your cat, provide pets and head scritches, check on food and water, and remove litter box waste. It is important to me that your pets feel safe and that their routine isn’t disrupted too much. So a meet and greet for us to both feel comfortable about your pet’s care is a must!
“Pepper had so much fun. This sitter updated me constantly and sent me pictures throughout the days. My dog had so much fun and felt so comfortable with this sitter. I didn’t have to worry about the safety or wellbeing of my pepper with Gabi. Gabi was super quick to respond to me and asked permission before taking my pepper anywhere. I will absolutely use Gabi again and recommend her to anyone that’s using Rover! This was my first time using rover and this experience really set the tone for the app! Amazing dog sitter!!”
“Love having Fina as my go to sitter for Bonnie! She is very sweet, caring, and nurturing ❤️ She takes great care and I love that she sends update photos and takes Bonnie on lots of walks! Highly recommend Fina and thank you for everything 🙏🏻”
“Until recently, we had never left our pup with someone else overnight. When we met Lucy, we knew she was a great fit for our Kona. After an intro meeting, day long sit and then a 2 night stay, we knew she was ready for a 9 night stay. It took a while for her anxiety and walls to come down, but Lucy was so patient and kind with Kona. We looked forward to our updates, especially the videos and photos, and came to call them ‘Lucy Grams’. It was so comforting to see our girl having fun and Lucy’s two pups are great companions. Would definitely use Lucy any time!”
“Amanda and her family were so great with Bogey, and on were super flexible on short notice. She was patient with him as he warmed up, provided updates (including pics and vids) multiple times a day. You can just tell they’re dog people, couldn’t recommend them more!”

“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 ❤️”
About: I’m a biologist and animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I had my first dog at age 7, adopted a reactive dog in my twenties, and currently share my life with an 8-year-old dog—so I truly understand how different every animal can be. For the past 3 years, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family, caring for senior dogs, reactive dogs, and everything in between. Because I work remotely and do this full-time, I’m home most of the day and able to offer consistent attention without leaving your pet alone for long periods of time. I adjust my energy to match each dog—happy to be playful with energetic pups, or slow and gentle with seniors and sensitive dogs. When house sitting, I keep routines as consistent as possible, so pets feel safe and secure. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals. I enjoy using enrichment toys and puzzles with my dog as I have seen how helpful mental enrichment can be for keeping dogs calm and happy, so I’m comfortable using these tools. With my background in biology, I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and always approach pets with patience, care, and respect. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. If you give me the opportunity, I’ll do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away.
“As always Jessica did a great job with my two cats, going above and beyond to make sure they were happy. She really took the time to get to know them and it feels so good as an owner to come home to happy pets. Thank you Jessica!”
About: Hello! I am willing to come do drop in visits for your cats while you are away! I know that cats do best when they stay in their own space with what they are comfortable with. In addition to having my own and taking care of my own pretty boy, Binx, I have experience in house sitting with kittens and taking care of senior cats who want more pets than play.
“Kateryna was super communicative and took such good care of our cat! Thanks a bunch for watching him for us! I’d definitely recommend and book with you again whenever I have the chance.”
“Heather was kind, punctual and knowledgeable on cat care. My male kitty went right up to her during the meet and greet. I will use her services again. Highly recommend Heather!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with animals. My first experience caring for a cat was actually in Ecuador, where a stray cat started following me home. I began feeding her and caring for her, and she quickly became my little companion. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, and love are—especially with cats, who can take time to trust. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I watch, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.
About: I have so much experience from all my years owning cats and caring for other people's cats too. It all began when I was six and my parents brought home a kitten from their friend's siamese cat. I dressed her in baby clothes and took her with me in a ventilated shoe box to my friend's house. That didn't last, though, once my parents found out I took her out of the house. She was my first kitty and I loved her so much! I've had cats my entire life so all who know me have asked me to cat-sit for them while they were out of town. I have stayed at other people's homes to watch their cats for an extended period of time; I have also watched relative's cats in my own home too and I have taken in cats from coworkers who had to re-home them. My most recent experience was when my cousin called me last year to tell me her neighbor had a stray mother cat and her four kittens so I brought them home and found homes for three of the kitties and my parents kept the mama cat and one of her kittens. Animals pull at my heartstrings, as my father would say, and I have helped countless animals in their time of need.
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was five and I volunteered at animal shelters and farms so I can take care of all your pets needs I'm currently study online so I have enough time to make sure and take care I'll be a pet to the fullest I can promise your parents will be safe and protected I take them on Walk every two hours they will be open to walk around the apartment and play with me and other dogs there will only be two or three pets at a time with me
“We have had Jewels twice now as drop-in sitter for our Bella (cat) and both times Jewels has cared for Bella perfectly. The food, water and litter is handled with care and excellent hygiene. Bella is so picky with sitters and has popped out to interact with Jewels a few times. We see that as a super positive sign that Jewels has a kind energy. Cats don't hide their feelings so if Bella likes Jewels, she is a winner in our book. Highly recommend.”
“Mackenzie was an absolute gem and I would absolutely book her again. Smart, timely, efficient and caring, she is the perfect sitter. When there was a problem she offered a solution. She took care of my cat, Bella, with ease and made sure to follow my instructions exactly. Excellent sitter!”
About: Throughout my life I have been surrounded by pets, especially dogs. Through this experience, I have become accustomed to taking care of them, whether they are large or small. I was always the first person to be called when neighbors were headed out of town. I am always down to exercise with animals, supply food and water, and make sure their experience of life is maximized. I am a full time student so school does take up a majority of my days, although I am totally open any time from Fridays through Sundays. My experience caring for pets has been your typical walk, making sure they are eating the proper nutritional diet at the right times, and allowing pets to lose any energy that has been built up. Animals are such a vital part of life so we must love and care for them just as they do to us!
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals around since I was born. My family taught me how precious they are and how much they need our love. I used to pet sit around my neighborhood growing up to make extra money as well. I am starting out part time because I work another job, but I would love to be able to do pet sitting full time as a love all animals and get extreme comfort being around them. I am very professional and transparent. I’m strictly doing this because of my love for animals. I also understand how difficult it is to find reliable people.
About: I have previously taken care of both dogs and cats, even both at the same time! I have experience walking and overnight stays with dogs from a 100+ pound great dane pit bull mix to 8 week old puppies. I currently work in office from 7A-4P, M-F. So my availability on weekdays are strictly during nighttime. Weekends during the day/night are very much open and are my preferred booking times. While I cannot board pets at my house, I will do the utmost to insure that your furry friend is comfortable and safe while you are away! I will also make sure your house is spotless upon your return!

“Aidni was so great to Lola! She asked tons of thoughtful questions about her schedule, her behavior, her demeanor, to get to know her & to provide a good experience for her. It was so nice meeting someone as kind as Aidni who really let me know that she prioritizes my girl’s happiness & safety during her stay. Lola was all smiles when we collected her, we will be back for more stays!”
“Kayla took wonderful care of our golden retriever, Willow, for the day. Willow immediately became part of the family, enjoying playtime with Kayla’s golden retriever and her kids. When we picked her up, she looked like she had spent the day at a spa—happy, relaxed, and beautifully cared for. It was obvious she felt completely at home and honestly seemed like she didn’t want to leave! We had total peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. Kayla and her family are amazing Rover hosts, and we highly recommend them.”

“Brandy was extremely nice and very accommodating to us when our regular sitter was not available today! We felt very comfortable knowing Jasper was being walked and taken care of. She provided updates and pics too. Her dog is super friendly and is a great buddy for the visit, too!”
“I left my babies Angel and Bell with Delfina on late notice and they had an amazing time. This was my first time using Rover and first time leaving my dogs with anyone outside the vet. Delfina was communicative and sent lots of pictures. My babies who are normally anxious were very comfortable around Delfina. I feel very safe leaving my dogs with Delfina.”
“Robert and Andrea were amazing. I was in the area for the first time for a short period, and they were very welcoming and accommodating. They took Rocky on such short notice and Robert was incredibly patient and understanding when Rocky initially struggled to adjust. Communication was great leading up to the appointment and during, and I really appreciated the photo update- it was reassuring. They made sure he was fed, got him out for a nice walk, and helped him burn off energy. He came back happy and settled—truly appreciate their care. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had pets for most of my life. My family and I currently have one very playful dog, two cats and a bearded dragon. I, along with my family, have cared for family, friends and neighbors pets for several years now. I work from home, usually only leaving during the day for a few minutes in the afternoon for school pickups (most days I take my dog with me) or the occasional quick errand. I take breaks throughout the day for indoor and outdoor pet play time and daily walks. While I am usually home, if I need to be away for a time there is almost always at least one family member home. When working, my office door is always open. I have a fenced yard for outdoor play time and potty breaks and plenty of sidewalks, trails and parks near my home for daily walks and places to explore.
“Tiffany and her pups and the property are wonderful and it was great for my pup to be able to hang out with them instead of being alone at home with separation anxiety when my husband and I recently worked a 2-day event with long hours. Highly recommend her!”

“I’m so thankful Lori was able to accommodate a last minute daycare request. We had something else set up that fell through, and we found a GEM of a sitter/daycare location!! I got frequent updates and pics, which showed me how comfortable my pup was in Lori’s home. He had a great time playing with her dogs and the others at daycare, and she was gracious to give him some yummy treats, which he LOVED! 🍉 Maverick had such a good time he literally didn’t want to come home with me when I picked him up - soooo funny! I will def book Lori again, knowing how much she loved hosting Mav and constantly how much he loved being there ❤️”
“It was my first time using rover for my Nino, I was a little anxious but fortunately for me, Jason & Rachel were great! I got frequent updates and communication with as great! Definitely recommend, Nino looked happy in all the pictures I got!”

“He is great with Kira and always prompt. He keeps in contact while on their walk and is very accommodating. Kira us happier with her daily walks and gets really excited when we mention zane.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many different breeds for the last 8-10 years. I love dogs and currently have one 8 month old shepherd rescue that I have been (mostly) independently training at home as well as 2 cats- one whom is 6 years that I adopted when she was only 8 weeks and another that was a stray that my husband & I took in. All our animals are very loved and having them be a part of our lives has been our favorite adventure together 🥰 I am working at a school this year & going back around mid August but during this summer I will be available to check in/walk your dogs throughout the week because I know a busy workday can be stressful when you have your pets at home that would love attention & fun. Whatever your scheduling need is, I would love to discuss how I can be that best fit for you & your fur babies! Since I already have my dog to walk 2-3 times a day, I would love to be able to bring your dog along with us! My trailer park has a private park and is along an easy accessible trail so I can definitely bring your dog here or wherever you prefer we go! I am close by San Marcos and have taken my dog to Bradley Park and Discovery Lake so we would love to bring your fur babies along too!
“We had a great experience with Dana. She was very communicative, kept us updated regularly, and was always on time for visits. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Sierra, in her care, which gave me real peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker!”
“My rescue dog is shy and has some confidence issues about new people. Courtney has been amazing at building up her trust and now my dog loves going for walks with her. I highly recommend Courtney for her skills and expertise and understanding of dogs, especially rescues who need a little extra love.”
“Heather walked our 1 year old Great Dane "ELLA" while I was laid up from surgery. Ella's a lot of dog and Heather did an excellent job. Ella loves Heather and I would highly recommend her.”
“Mackenzie is awesome to work with. She's always punctual, easy to communicate with, and provides pics of my dog on the walks. Plus my dog really seems to enjoy going on walks with her. I will definitely keep booking with her in the future.”

About: Growing up I've taken care of my family's dogs, at the moment my family has three dogs; an American Eskimo, a Eurasier, and a mini Australian Shepard. I love all animals at the moment I have a leopard gecko named Cyrus! I can provide walks on a strict/loose scheduled basis, cater to feeding times with routines/extra steps, I can offer space and quiet to older dogs/skittish dogs, I'm able to provide play time to those who have high energy dogs as well. At the moment I work Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays usually in the mornings. My schedule varies from week to week, but don't be afraid to reach out! I will do my best to accommodate you! As a house sitter I plan to care for your fur baby. If your dogs needs a walk or two a day, brushing, meal times, and play time I am able to offer. I truly want your pet to feel safe in their home while I am there. I don't want to overstep boundaries of both you or your fur baby.
“This was our first time having Veronica walk our three dogs separately. She followed our clear instructions for each dog and was able to put a clear cone back on one of your dogs. She responded promptly to our messages and did a great job taking pictures and providing updates for each dog. We recommend using Veronica for your dog-walking needs.”
“Erin is very sweet and I can tell how much she loves all animals. She was very prompt and sent me lots of pictures of my dog's walk! I look forward to having her walk Murphy again!”
About: I’ve spent the last 15+ years caring for my own dogs, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’m experienced in giving medications and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care. One of previous dogs was 112lbs, and one of our current dogs is a 75lb energetic pitbull mix. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re not at home. I currently work part-time, allowing me to maintain a highly flexible schedule. This gives me the ability to provide consistent, attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet sitting needs, including daytime visits and walks. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your instructions closely, make sure everything is secure before and after each visit, and take time to build trust with your dog so they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet and home are in good hands
About: I'm a Dad to a fully trained facility dog. I've got decades of experience taking care of furry friends of all kinds, and am a dedicated ear scratcher and belly rubber. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can usually adapt to your schedule. I'm available for a wide variety of care from 7 A.M. onward. Boarding stays of up to 5 nights available in a large fenced yard. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly, well trained golden retriever at home. I'm comfortable with whatever arrangements you need when taking care of your pup at your home.
About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs and have personally trained every dog I’ve owned throughout my life. I also have previous experience with pet sitting positions, where I provided reliable daily care, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. In addition, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, which gave me experience working with animals in a professional setting and following proper care routines. I am comfortable administering medications, vitamins, and following special instructions to ensure each pet’s needs are met. I’m definitely one of those dog moms who treats every pet like family, so I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while in my care. My schedule is flexible, and I am available mornings and afternoons, as well as mid day depending on the day of the week. I’m happy to work with different schedules to help accommodate your pet’s needs. For pet sitting in my home, I do ask that dogs are friendly with kids and other pets. I have a little brother and a dog of my own, so creating a safe and comfortable environment for everyone is very important to me. Your pet will still receive the same love, attention, care, and supervision as if they were my own. I strive to make every dog feel welcomed, comfortable, and part of the family while staying with me. For pet sitting in your home, I am comfortable staying overnight if needed and following your pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and secure in their own environment. I’m attentive to all instructed care, including special needs, medications, feeding schedules, and any other specific directions you provide. I also make sure dogs get their regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

“Lori is a natural caretaker. She provided so much love and attention to Zara, my standard poodle. I could see how much fun Zara was having through the photogenic pictures Lori sent each day. Lori's 1-acre of land is such a plus for the dogs to run and play. At the end of the stay, Zara and Lori were both sad to part. That speaks volumes about the wonderful level of care your pet will receive while staying with Lori. Book her now!”
“Brandy was absolutely fantastic in caring for our senior dog. She showed such genuine concern and attentiveness to his needs, making sure he felt comfortable and at ease in her home. Koda was exceptionally well looked after, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Brandy to anyone in need of a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
“Erin is a very kind, caring, and professional pet sitter. I have a young puppy, and she took amazing care of Luna during her overnight stay. Not only is Erin knowledgeable about pet care, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Since Luna is still a puppy and can be nervous in new environments, Erin took extra time to help her adjust. She even created a cozy sleeping space and set up a crate for her, which made a huge difference. Erin’s home is very pet-friendly, clean, safe, and well-organized, with everything needed to care for animals properly. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. Honestly, Erin is one of the best pet sitters we’ve had so far, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. ☺️🫶🏼🐾”
“Chris really did me a solid taking Marshall in for the weekend. He was always in communication, sent a few pictures during each day, and managed to keep on top of my boy’s endless energy. When I picked him up, my dog was trying to get me to stay there, which I take as a great sign for how much he enjoyed his stay with Chris.”
About: I am a PET LOVER . I treat my furry four legged friends like family members. My house consists of three young children 12 and under who adore pets and are a huge part of the positive environment in my home - lots of love and warmth. During the most part of the day ... the kids are at school. My husband works from home and I'm currently at home not working. I have one five year old Golden Retriever and one fifteen year old Siamese cat who sleeps for the majority of time. I allow my dog to roam downstairs which is plenty of space for first floor. My entire house is 3400 square feet . The dogs are welcome to go in and out as they please . My fenced in backyard space will allow for plenty of sunshine and lizard watching time ( my dogs favorite thing to do). There are dog beds - several around the lower level and my husbands office is downstairs so this is where copper hangs out most of the day . Please feel free to send your pets own bed or comfort items. My furry guy gets walks during the day and also frequent visits to the dog park for ball throwing which he absolutely adores . I can either stick to leashed walks or happy to take your baby along to get a ball throwing work out . I have been around pets my whole life. Whatever it is you need or request--I can handle . Special diet, medication and seniors - I've done it all. I am currently not working and spend a lot of time in the house besides dropping my kids to and from school. They will get plenty of human interaction, rubs , walks and treats ! Our house is bustling with energy while the kids are home. If it's a week day then it will be quiet most of the day while they are at school. Copper and any dog friends visiting get to come and go as they please . We have a fenced in back yard. Copper loves to get sunshine , vitamin D and his favorite acvitivty is patrolling the premises for lizards that may be hiding under patio furniture or the deck box. My husband works from home and has his office downstairs so copper loves to hang out in there and be next to his human friend while he's resting . I have lots of dog beds placed in various spots around the house . I only let copper ( and his dog friends) downstairs which is very spacious. The dogs are allowed to lay on the couch. They will get walks and trips to the dog park for ball throwing if they like that sort of thing (my boy loves playing catch). I am excited to welcome your baby inside my home while you are away.
About: I am new to Rover but not new to pet or house sitting in general. I have sat dogs and cats while family and friends have gone on extended vacations. I am fully background checked (teacher by trade). I love to go on walks and am great with consistency/expectations if your dog is in a training program. I am a teacher who is off for the summer with no vacation plans! I can dedicate a lot of time to checking on your cat or taking care of your dog. Dogs will have the run of the downstairs and opportunities for backyard play during the day but will be expected to stay crated/in pen at night. Feedings happen on the schedule you provide and dogs will get at least two walks a day. Doggos will be treated like they belong in my house. If interested in drop ins for cat care, I will play with your cat, provide pets and head scritches, check on food and water, and remove litter box waste. It is important to me that your pets feel safe and that their routine isn’t disrupted too much. So a meet and greet for us to both feel comfortable about your pet’s care is a must!
“Amanda and her family were so great with Bogey, and on were super flexible on short notice. She was patient with him as he warmed up, provided updates (including pics and vids) multiple times a day. You can just tell they’re dog people, couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Vicki was great with my 8 month old Aussie pup! He did an overnight stay with her. There was a bit of sorting out of things between my pup and her dog, and she handled the situation like a pro. When I came the next morning to pick up my guy the 2 were getting along like old buds. Vicki knows what she is doing. Highly recommend. Thanks!”
“This is our second time booking with Darcey. She truly wants to take the time to understand your dog’s quirks, and was so gentle and patient with ours. I loved getting her photo updates—it was comforting to see our dog so happy in the photos she sent. She was also very professional, always punctual and quick to answer any questions I had. If you need a caring, reliable dog sitter, Darcey is fantastic.”
“Robert & Andrea were great with our ball of energy little pup! They were very easy to communicate with and even sent us an update picture during his stay. Our puppy seemed to really enjoy his time with them!”
“Evan was a great find for us! We hate leaving our Golden behind but felt much better knowing he was joining Evan and his family. Our dog loves kids, pets, and lots of play. It seems like he got plenty off this being under Evans care. We set expectations with Evan around food and he was super accommodating. Evan provided us pictures and updates as he wrapped up each day which was great for us while traveling. Thanks for the care!”
“I have used Mackenzie and her husband Brandon multiple times now and they are extremely kind, flexible, and their dog is a great play friend to my dog Jax. They take him on walks, send updates and pictures often, and he always seems very well taken care of. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new Rover!”
“Priscila was excellent at ensuring my Lana had a great experience. From her outdoor activities, beach day, and play time it all contributed to Lana having a Great time. Priscila was awesome at providing pictures and video to update how my dog was doing. Thank you 👍”
“Courtney was great! She took care of our anxious 6 month old golden doodle for 2 days. She was very communicative throughout her stay, sent photos, and even feed her using fun toys; as well as socialized her with other puppies. Extra bonus she's also a trainer and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!”
“Heather was amazing and took great care of my dog. This was my first time leaving her with someone at their home and Heather did a great job keeping me updated on how she was doing, which was so comforting. She took her for walks and to play at the park and also has an amazing yard to run around. I can tell my dog had a great time and I will absolutely book with Heather again!”

“At first, I was hesitant because I’ve never left our fur baby with a petsitter before but my worries were put to rest. David is absolutely wonderful! He gives updates,very detailed in asking about Rocky’s routines. He’s highly recommended and we’ll definitely use his services again.”
