“I've only boarded my dog once in her life, when she was less than a year old. She hasn't been around other dogs very much and is skittish with them. I was worried about how she would react. Lisa sent me multiple pictures per day for the week I was gone and it really helped me to not worry about my dog. My girl looked happy with the other dogs! I am very pleased with Lisa and will certainly book again.”
“Had Zeus for the weekend and did an amazing job! She was able to slowly have Zeus interact with her own dogs and sent videos throughout the day . Will book with her again”
“I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough! From the moment Olive arrived, she kept me updated with frequent messages, adorable photos, and little updates about what they were doing throughout the day. Her communication was honestly incredible, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was how comfortable Olive became with her. Olive is usually very shy and reserved in new environments, and whenever I’ve boarded her before, I noticed in photos that her tail was almost always down. With Elizabeth, though, her tail was wagging in so many of the pictures! It made me so happy to see her looking so relaxed, confident, and genuinely happy. That alone spoke volumes about how loved and comfortable she felt. Elizabeth’s dog was also the sweetest companion for Olive. They bonded so well, and I truly think having another friendly dog around made such a positive difference for her. Olive normally gets very carsick, but while she was with Elizabeth, she didn’t have a single episode of nausea, which honestly surprised me. I really think being so comfortable and having such great company helped her tremendously. Elizabeth is a true dog person through and through. She cared for Olive as if she were one of her own, and that kind of love and attention is something you can’t teach. She was always quick to respond, happy to answer every question I had, and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. I would absolutely book with Elizabeth again in a heartbeat, and I’m so grateful I found her. Seeing how happy and comfortable Olive was makes me confident she’d be just as excited to see Elizabeth again. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for your dog like family, don’t hesitate to book with her. She’s truly amazing!”
“Annamarie was amazing with my dog ! He absolutely enjoyed his time with her ! So much so , I might have to set up a play date with her once in a while lol! I highly recommend Annamarie if you need pet sitting ! Your pet will be in the best of care ! Thank you Annamarie !”
“Our pug, Meatloaf, had an absolute blast staying with Savanna! I received daily updates, multiple pictures, and could tell he was so relaxed. I appreciate her caring for my baby and being so kind!”
“Jahmilya and her family were very accommodating and amazing sitters to my two cats. They ensured that my cats were comfortable, sent pictures during their stay and allowed me to make last minute modifications which was very much appreciated. I will book with them again as it felt like a second home for my cats.”
“I have used Iris a few times now and they have always been great to work with. My dog was excited this time when I dropped her off. She seems to like it over there. Great communication which is always appreciated when dealing with people watching your pets. I will be using Iris again in less than 2 weeks! Would highly recommend.”
About: My family is very animal oriented and I have been around dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and ducks my entire life. Due to having so many animals I usually helped wash them, teach them tricks, feed them and overall just taking care of them.

“Mrs. Rochelle is simply amazing and has a beautiful family that helps her. She is very patient and kind. Our Taz can be a bit rambunctious but she said he did well. She sent photos while we were away on our trip. My grandpups were well taken care of. We will definitely use Mrs. Rochelle again. Thank you so much for caring for our fur babies.”
“"Maria A. did an amazing job watching Max! He had a blast at the lake, went on adventures, and even made a new friend Bruno - same size, so perfect playmate! Loved that he got lots of love and playtime with bigger buddiesu. Thanks, Maria!" 😊”

About: Hi! My name is Mitzi, and I’m 24 years old. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for more than half of it, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I currently have two spayed Shih Tzus and a friendly Doberman, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. My dogs do great around other dogs, and I’ve also cared for family members’ and friends’ pets while they’ve been away on vacation, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust with your fur baby. I have experience with both long-haired and short-haired dogs, and I genuinely love everything that comes with caring for them. Whether it’s daily walks, potty breaks, feeding on a regular schedule, keeping up with grooming and appointments, or just giving them love and attention, I make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Dogs are honestly my way of de-stressing, and spending time with them is something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to make them feel loved while you’re away. I am in nursing school, so i can either come during online classes or after in person class! My schedule is also open part time I live in a spacious household, my house is fenced front and back! I can also crate train your dog in your home or mine
About: Though I am not well versed in special needs dogs, ones with anxiety I know far to well as my Bella suffers daily. Constant love and affection would be given to ensure your fur babies feel right at home as if you’ve never left. Hello I’m Melissa a newly FT stay at home mom of 2. I homeschool during the morning and have fun by mid afternoon so adding some visitors to my day would be my pleasure! Both my Bombay cat and Deer Chihuahua were rescued. I work with many rescues in the surrounding areas to make sure all strays brought home find their forever homes. I do live in a rental so I do request that they are potty trained! Both my cat and dog are fully house broke and getting up in the night for those midnight tinkle breaks are possible since my dog is a senior and needs to go too. I hope that gives you a little insight to my life and allows you to be comfortable in choosing me as your fur babies mini vaca destination. I have a fully fenced decent size back yard with cameras for lots of room to run and get their wiggles out or just explore and sunbathe. I have a large crate if they prefer some quiet time alone just request you bring their favorite bed or blanket so they have a piece of home to comfort them.
“We had a great experience leaving our goldendoodle with Patty. She has a lot of experience with dogs and she goes the extra mile to make her guests happy and comfortable. She walked our dog regularly and fed her on a schedule that worked best for our beloved pet. We will definitely consider using her again when we travel out of town.”
“Rochelle was great with our puppy Kobe! He was 14 weeks at the time so we were anxious to leave him in a new environment but Kobe did so well under Rochelle’s care and immediately warmed up to her during the meet & greet. She was respectful of our requests to keep him on leash outside and not going for a walk yet since he did not have all his shots. She was also very communicative and responsive and even gave us updates during his 2-night stay. Would definitely recommend Rochelle to anyone and everyone!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my two little pups. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my doggies with a stranger. However, Stephanie suggested a meet and greet beforehand and I knew they were in good hands!”
About: Hi, my name is Angela! I have extensive experience with high-energy dogs that thrive on special activities and routines. As the proud owner of an Australian Shepherd named Mila, I understand the needs of smart, active dogs who require both physical and mental stimulation to stay happy and well-behaved. I absolutely adore my Aussie, and I will love and care for your pet just as much! 🐾 I also volunteer, which gives me a very flexible schedule to meet the needs of you and your furry family member. Your pet will be treated like my own, with plenty of love, attention, and care. I live in a spacious three-bedroom home, offering plenty of room for your pet to roam, explore, and even enjoy some playtime with Mila.

As a dog owner myself, I’m already accustomed to planning my days around activities like walks, playtime, feeding, and training sessions. I schedule my work flexibly, so I can dedicate the time and attention needed for each pet I care for. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or specific routines, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my week to ensure every furry friend feels loved and well-cared for. My girl Mila is very well cared for (some might say spoiled!), and I make sure she’s fed on a consistent schedule every single day. She has plenty of toys to keep her entertained, and you can expect the same level of care and attention for your furry friend.
About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet boarding and looking after the pets of my friends and family. I have assisted in training puppies as well as adult dogs, so I am more than happy to assist in training your animals while you're away by keeping up a specific schedule or regimen. I also have personal experience caring for elderly dogs as well as dogs with anxiety disorders, happy to work with them in any special ways needed. I typically find myself doing a lot of my busy work and essential activities in the afternoons and evenings. For this reason, majority of my availability for short visits will be in the mornings, but happy to discuss other arrangements if needed. I have a large backyard and property that your bestie will just love, if they stay over at my place. I have multiple sized dog beds so no matter babies size they'll have a lovely place to rest their head.
“Myra was amazing. She was extremely accommodating, even on New Year's day. Picchu was so happy in her house. It was the first time he relaxed and was able to sleep when someone else's place. I come to Miami often and I am so glad now I have a reliable and lovely person to take care of him :)”

“‘We had a last-minute trip and needed someone to take care of our dog. She accepted booking on very short notice and did an amazing job.

“Dawn did a very good job caring for my many cats in addressing their medical needs (administering insulin and eye drops). She was attentive to all their weird eating preferences (different food/ portions for 3 of my 4 cats), and I appreciated that. I came home to things how I hoped they be and really appreciated her careful care. I look forward to booking with Dawn again.”
“Andrea did a great job pet sitting for our cat Mickey! We were out of the country for several days for a family wedding. She sent me daily messages letting me know he was fed and all was well. When we got home, the kitchen counter where his food was prepared was clean and neat and so was Mickey's eating area in the garage. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was well cared for while we were gone. We wouldn't hesitate at all to utilize Andrea's pet sitting services again. She was terrific!!😊”

“Celestine did a great job taking care of my cat! She went above and beyond. I was very pleased to see how well things went with the Rover check ins/cards and with returning to find that my cat was perfectly okay. Lastly, I just wanted to say she was very friendly to work with, followed the instructions well, and knows how to take care of cats very well. I would highly recommend her services.”

About: Hi, I’m Shannon! Animals have always been a central part of my life, and caring for them is something I take seriously and wholeheartedly.

While visiting your pet I will make sure that your furry family members seem comfortable, and have their necessities. I have a flexible schedule as I am in an online graduate program. If you need specific times for me to care for your animals, I will most likely be able to accommodate these times. Your pets will receive the best care from me, as I have been an animal lover my whole life. I am dedicated to making sure your furry family members are taken care of the way you want them to be.
“Tyler has been so awesome to work with, and I highly recommend him to help care for and/or walking your pets. I've got 2 young and very hyper Labs, who I can't even walk at the same time- they are still learning their manners, and my youngest, Finn, a 90+lb 10 month old pup, is super strong. Tyler handles them both, with no problem, and he's got incredible patience, when dealing with them (they both have some anxiety issues, which can be challanging).”
“Brooke is absolutely amazing!!! we couldn’t recommend her more. From the start, she was trustworthy and professional, and we felt completely comfortable giving her a key to our home. She took incredible care of our dogs, especially Hopper, who is a big, strong boy and not always easy to handle. She walked him twice a day, made sure he was well-fed, hydrated, and exercised, and treated him with so much love, like he was her own. She also gave our smaller dog plenty of attention and affection while she was there, which meant a lot to us. What really stood out was her communication. She kept us updated consistently, sent lots of pictures, and made us feel at ease the entire time we were away. She even went above and beyond by offering to pick up dog food if we needed it, something that truly shows her level of care and dedication. Brooke is reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with that kind of warmth and love. We 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust with their pets and their home.we’ll definitely be continuing to use her for walks and care in the future.”
About: I grew up taking care of all types of animals, bunnies, turtles, dogs, and doves. When ever there is an animal is need, we take them in. A stray cat gave birth in our back yard and I cared for her kittens and found them all loving homes. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old and that was thanks to the great care and love my family and I gave her. I am currently doing a remote internship from home that only requires 1-2 hours of work a day. This allows me to have an open availability and lots of flexibility to adjust to any pets schedule. I have a good sized back yard with a tall fence. I also have left over pet supplies like collars, leashes, water and food bowls, and dog crates.
About: Hi, my name is Angela! I have extensive experience with high-energy dogs that thrive on special activities and routines. As the proud owner of an Australian Shepherd named Mila, I understand the needs of smart, active dogs who require both physical and mental stimulation to stay happy and well-behaved. I absolutely adore my Aussie, and I will love and care for your pet just as much! 🐾 I also volunteer, which gives me a very flexible schedule to meet the needs of you and your furry family member. Your pet will be treated like my own, with plenty of love, attention, and care. I live in a spacious three-bedroom home, offering plenty of room for your pet to roam, explore, and even enjoy some playtime with Mila. I look forward to meeting your fur baby and providing them with the best care possible. 💜 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, I’m already accustomed to planning my days around activities like walks, playtime, feeding, and training sessions. I schedule my work flexibly, so I can dedicate the time and attention needed for each pet I care for. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or specific routines, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my week to ensure every furry friend feels loved and well-cared for. My girl Mila is very well cared for (some might say spoiled!), and I make sure she’s fed on a consistent schedule every single day. She has plenty of toys to keep her entertained, and you can expect the same level of care and attention for your furry friend.
About: "Having grown up around animals all my life, I have a natural instinct for reading a pet's body language and understanding their needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to customized care—I adapt to your pet's specific personality, whether they are playful, shy, or need extra cuddle time. I treat every guest just like a member of my own family." Since I work from home full-time, pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to provide constant companionship, frequent bathroom breaks, and playtime whenever needed. I naturally take breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs, which is the perfect time for walks or backyard play. Your pet will essentially be my 'co-worker' and will rarely be left unattended. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. When hosting pets in my home, I ensure the environment is fully pet-proofed, clean, and free of any hazards. Pets are never left unattended, and I always do a slow, supervised introduction if other animals are present. I strictly follow your feeding, crating, and bathroom routines to keep their environment as familiar as possible. If I am caring for your pet in your own home, I respect your space and follow your house rules to the letter. I maintain your security protocols, ensure doors and gates are always locked, and keep a close eye on your pet during walks to avoid any unsafe interactions. No matter the location, I promise to send you daily photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.

“Daniel is amazing. My dogs love walking with him. He is always on time, follows instructions and also made some last minute changes for me. I will definitely have him walk my dogs next time.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet boarding and looking after the pets of my friends and family.

I also have personal experience caring for elderly dogs as well as dogs with anxiety disorders, happy to work with them in any special ways needed. I typically find myself doing a lot of my busy work and essential activities in the afternoons and evenings.

I have a large backyard and property that your bestie will just love, if they stay over at my place. I have multiple sized dog beds so no matter babies size they'll have a lovely place to rest their head.
About: Hi, my name is Dave. I'm a dog lover. I raised 3 dogs of my own. For me, dogs are always first. I think about them and their needs first (walk, play, potty, and rest) before anything I do or my own time. I treat every dog like it's my own dog. I enjoy taking them out for walks and play. I understand that every dog has their own personality. I do VERY well at learning about them and providing what type of physical and mental stimulation they need. Let me know what your dog like and don't like and I make sure your dog will have the best experience with me your dog will ever have. Thanks :) I maybe new to this ROVER APP, but I do know how to care for pets like they’re own on children. Im open in the morning from 8AM- 3PM.

I'm a Master student who is now focusing on her program . I'm flexible for time changing and I'll be happy to help :)🥳 Healthy pet food is required. Pets, like people, require food that specifically fulfills their nutritional requirements. Both dog and cat diets are made to satisfy the nutritional requirements of the respective species. Importantly, they have quite different food requirements. And I can give that to our furry family members with affection! I'll ensure that your pets have access to clean water at all times. Giving pets a secure, comfortable home is part of giving proper pet care. Pets need to use the restroom frequently, and I'll be there to assist them if they do. I'll see to it that your pet exercises frequently.
About: Ive been personally dog sitting since 17 years old for my siblings who has 2 dogs and 2 cats and for my relatives whenever they are out of town! Occasionally For friends as well! I enjoy taking care of them in my own hands because I am delicate when it comes to any sort of animals. I am patient with animals if they are not comfortable around me. I am very playful with dogs/cats! I’m able to deal with a lot of different personalities from animals. I treat any animals like family :) ! At the moment I am doing online college courses!

About: With over 8 years of experience in caring for dogs and a lifetime of growing up with them, I have developed a deep understanding and love for these furry companions. When your fur baby stays with us, they become a part of our family. From puppies to seniors requiring medication, I have cared for dogs of all ages and health conditions, including diabetic dogs that need shots twice a day. I have also provided assistance to dogs with mobility issues, ensuring their comfort and safety. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I am available throughout the day to provide constant care and attention to your beloved pet. Although I may need to run occasional errands or drop off my daughter at school, I prioritize being at home to cater to your dog's needs. My dedication stems from having a disabled son who thrives in the comfort of our home environment. Rest assured, your fur baby will have the freedom to roam in our fenced yard, enjoying in and out privileges. To ensure that each dog's unique requirements are met, I make it a point to gather as much information as possible about them. This allows me to tailor their care specifically to their needs, regardless of what they may be. Additionally, I feed each dog separately, carefully observing their eating habits. For the safety and peace of mind of both the dog and myself, I crate new dogs at night until we become acquainted with each other. This helps establish a sense of trust and familiarity, ensuring a calm and comfortable environment for everyone involved. When your fur baby stays with us, they can expect not only the utmost care but also an abundance of love. I take pride in treating every dog as if they were my own, creating a nurturing and welcoming home away from home for them. New customers please ask me for my promo discount of $20 off your first booking on Rover if you are new to Rover. I am a full time stay at home mom. Therefore, I am home all day unless I run errands of picking up and dropping off my daughter at school or doing shopping for the house. Other then that I am home all day since I have a son who is disabled and enjoys being home. I have a fenced yard. So they are allowed in and out privileges. I like to know as much as possible about your fur baby so I know how to make sure I'm caring for them properly, regardless of what there needs are. I do feed everyone separately to see what is or is not being eaten. I also crate at night new dogs always until them and I learn each other.
About: I hope I can always provide the best care for all the cuties. I believe dogs have different personalities and their owners kept them in a certain way. I will make sure that I remember all the caring tricks, then I can provide the right carings. I have adopted a German Shepherd since August 5th, 2018, and she is 6 months old now. She is growing very healthy and happy. Normally I will play with her every day for at least 2 hours and we will explore the outside together. She is more than 50 lbs, and always very enthusiastic, her energy always makes me want to be positive like her. With animals, I never feel stress, and to be around with dogs is the best therapy. Also, I am volunteering in an animal shelter, there are many tasks I can work on, I can walk dogs, groom the dogs or I can set a stow into the kennel, sit there and chat with the dogs. I am currently working full time at Stockton Animal Shelter Friday to Monday 8AM-6:30PM. My brother and father will be 24/7 home looking after the pups. When I am not home, my family will take over and supervise the pups at home. We been working together as I have began my Rover journey. I have fenced yard. Pups in house will have their own space. Feeding time will be separate. My two gentle girls mind their own business, and willing to keep the pups staying in the house in company.

“We had a great experience leaving our goldendoodle with Patty. She has a lot of experience with dogs and she goes the extra mile to make her guests happy and comfortable. She walked our dog regularly and fed her on a schedule that worked best for our beloved pet. We will definitely consider using her again when we travel out of town.”
“Rochelle was great with our puppy Kobe! He was 14 weeks at the time so we were anxious to leave him in a new environment but Kobe did so well under Rochelle’s care and immediately warmed up to her during the meet & greet. She was respectful of our requests to keep him on leash outside and not going for a walk yet since he did not have all his shots. She was also very communicative and responsive and even gave us updates during his 2-night stay. Would definitely recommend Rochelle to anyone and everyone!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my two little pups. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my doggies with a stranger. However, Stephanie suggested a meet and greet beforehand and I knew they were in good hands!”

“Utah absolutely loved Cambry from the first time he met her. He had no problem going to stay with her or playing with her dog. Apparently he was even more well behaved for her on the leash than me. He came home looking like he had also been on vacation.”
“Brittany and James took a GREAT care of our dog (Blue Heeler) for a little over two weeks. They are very professional, reliable, and responsive. On July 4th, they did everything they could to calm our dog since he was very scared of fireworks. My dog loved to cuddle between Brittany and James 😁 Thank you so much for giving love to Uni and for what you do! I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a responsible and loving care for your pups! 🐶”

About: I grew up taking care of all types of animals, bunnies, turtles, dogs, and doves. When ever there is an animal is need, we take them in. A stray cat gave birth in our back yard and I cared for her kittens and found them all loving homes. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old and that was thanks to the great care and love my family and I gave her.

I'm available 7 days a week to make your dog my priority. Dogs under care in my home are kept inside in a comfortable area that is clean and temperature controlled for any weather.

About: I owned two dogs throughout my 17 years here in the US. One of them I raised since pup and potty trained her and taught her tricks such as rolling over, sit, lay down, catch, handshake, turn around, she also fetch sticks in the water and barks when she sees animals on tv. Yes I taught my dog how to watch tv 🥹! She was my best friend she is no longer with us now I lost her back in 2024 she developed a liver disease at 13 years old. I have one more dog that I rescued back in 2011 he is now my senior dog and still lives with me and he is about 19 years old. He might be actually older than that though I had no proof of how old he really is. I assumed he was about 4 years old when I found him back in 2011. So we can do the math from that right? All my dogs are indoor dogs and can be on my bed though they have their own beds as well. All doggies will be treated with love affection and care and all welcome in my home 🥹❤️ Stay at home so I have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for boarding week days anytime and overnight. One message away I have a fenced yard. I live by a walking path I could easily take pups for walks. Pups stays inside the house and uses the doggy door to go potty in the yard. Feeding schedule may vary depending on instructions.
“We were looking for a last minute sitter and Leisha was the perfect fit! Not only was she kind and attentive to Ollie’s needs, she also had her kids as part of the care crew! Her kids were so great with Ollie, kind and loving, and I feel grateful to have had Ollie with her family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, and will definitely book in the future when we are back in town! Cynthia”
