“This was my first time using Rover. Jenny and family took good care of our doggie. I enjoyed getting pictures of him to see how he was doing. I will definitely be using her again. This was a great first experience.”
“Marilyn is so professional and reliable, we are so happy to have found her. She took our dogs last minute and we have definitely found our fit! She has a very large yard which includes a huge portion of it dedicated for dogs which is separated by a fence, just what our furry friends needed, not to mention the care and individual attention that she provided. I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“Tian was great with our pup. I needed a sitter for a last minute trip and he was super quick to respond. Always responsive and kept me constantly updated with pictures of our dog. I felt good about her being with Tian and would definitely use him again.”
“Sherry and Andres are the sweetest couple we’ve ever met! She took care of my pup while we were on vacation and did such a stellar job! I received photo and video updates every day, and when we picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave because he had so much fun hanging out with them and the other doggies. 🥹 I have complete trust in their care and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend them! ❤️”
“Angela is wonderful with our pets. We call her The Dog Whisperer. 😃 She's amazing with our Toffee Doggie and with the drop ins for our kitties. If you want your pet to be loved while you're away look no further. She's the absolute best! Reggie”
“April & Nathan were beyond expectations! Such a wonderful couple who really understand all types of dogs. They are so attentive, so patient, and so loving as people and dog sitters. My pup shadow is a reactive dog and tested their patience a few times and they remained calm cool and collected throughout the stay. They are unmatched in my opinion and I would bring shadow back to them a million times over. Couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Katy is amazing!!! My frenchie Charli loved her stay with Katy and her dog Pudding. Katy is the 4th rover sitter that I’ve used and I’m so happy that I found her. She’s so much closer to my home too! She has a big front yard that’s shaded, clean, has grass and just perfect for dogs to run around. I informed her that I was a worrisome mom and she made sure to send me at least 2 videos a day and pictures. She went over and beyond and I’m so appreciative of her.”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover and a proud dog mom to two Maltipoos. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day.

I’ve taken care of all my pets since they were young up until their senior years and made sure they were all taken care of! I’m currently a college student so weekends work perfectly. As of now, a few days out of the week work but this may be subject to change depending on my classes. I have a fenced backyard with a good sized grass area for any pets needing to go outside and play. The inside is also available for any pets just looking to relax and just be chill.
About: I have a cat and I love it so much they are such wonderful animals who just have the knowledge to know things about their owners and at times we are surprised to see that they actually understand us sometimes better than we even understand ourselves . I used to help my neighbors care for her cat until my neighbor unfortunately moved away . I love cats they are truly gentle, wonderful yet very cautious and curious creatures .
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience caring for cats, beginning with rescuing and adopting a pregnant stray cat and helping care for her and her kittens until they were ready for their forever homes. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of understanding each cat’s unique personality and needs. I also have experience caring for family cats by providing daily feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of affection. I am dedicated to creating a safe, clean, and stress-free environment so every cat feels comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life from my own pups to my friends! I have experience with big and small dogs of all different breeds and am happy to help. I work Monday through Friday from 9-5 so I can help in the early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays for drop-ins or walks. If close by, I can also help with last minute needs. I have experience with runners so I’m very careful to ensure your pets won’t get out without their leash and my supervision. They are in safe hands to be cared for and come home safely!
“Angelica is an attentive and caring sitter. She gave twice a day medication to my senior cat and gave him lots of love! Dexter also seemed comfortable with her. Thanks for everything! I would recommend hiring Angelica!”

“Ms. Patty is awesome as always! She's reliable and trustworthy. She always provides a detailed report card of her visits and plenty of pictures of our cats. Thank you Ms. Patty!”
About: I have grown up around cats my entire life! I am very familiar with different cat personalities and behaviors, from shy, independent cats to more social, playful ones. I currently have my own cat (her name is Miso☺️), which I’ve been fully caring for on my own for the past year, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and all the little daily routines that keep them happy and healthy. Over the years, I’ve also cat sat many times for friends and family. I’ve helped with everything from quick check-ins to longer visits, making sure their cats feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. While I’m not formally “professional” yet, I’m very responsible, gentle, and genuinely love being around cats. I always try to make sure they feel calm, safe, and cared for like they’re my own :)
“Zakiya was great and responsive from the initial request to being accommodating with my travel. I really appreciated her empathy towards pets and their behaviors. She was good with sending photos & updates daily and put together a daily log of food times, etc. Highly recommend!”
“Melisa was, in a word, AMAZING. We scheduled drop-in visits with her to keep an eye on our cat Clementine and Melisa wrote detailed updates for us and sent us a ton of photos, which we loved. We had a pee-incident on the couch that Melisa took in stride (thank you so much, again) and she really went above and beyond, helping put enzymatic cleaner on our couch so that the cat urine didn't just sit for two weeks, popping our mail inside and also keeping an eye on my plants. Stellar sitter and is 100% our go-to person from now on. Thanks again, Melisa!”
About: I have grown up with dogs, so I am more than aware that they are not only a pet but a family member. I have always raised my dogs and cats from infancy and cared for them through their senior years. My experience has taught me that every pet is different and should be cared for as such. It has also given me the basic knowledge of administering various kinds of medication. Pet care is simply another part of my routine. Having my pets, I know the importance of walks and playtime. In addition, I am accustomed to different breeds, from high-energy German Shepards to lethargic bulldogs. My availability will depend on my part-time work schedule; however, I am primarily available from late afternoon to evening. I care for pets based on their daily routine; every pet is different, so I'll always inquire about your pet's routine. In addition, I will always ask about your pet's age, allergies, medication, and, most importantly, if they are well-trained and socialized. I have no problem caring for a problematic dog so long as their behavior is discussed beforehand. I aim to have your pet well cared for and safe when you return.

“Marquise stayed at my place to take care of my two cats while I was out of town. He had a very calm and loving demeaner and was able to coax both cats out of hiding the first time he was over, which has never happened with anyone!!! I was very grateful for the updates and happy to hear that the shy skittish cat warmed up and let him pet her. I was fully expecting the other cat to mark his territory, which he always does when I'm away, but apparently he felt comfortable enough with Marquise that he didn't pee on anything! It was so nice to know that my cats and my home were being taken care of and took a lot off my mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Marquise!”
“Jasmine was amazing! She took great care of our dogs during her drop-in visits—feeding them, walking them, and giving them plenty of love. She gave us real peace of mind while we were away for 8 days, and it was clear our pups were in great hands. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: Your pet’s new favorite visitor. 🐾🐕 Hi! My name is Laileen. 💕 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and spending time with them has always been one of my favorite things. I’m currently in college working toward my dream of becoming a veterinarian, so getting to care for pets while working toward that goal truly means a lot to me. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your furry family member. Whether you’re away for a few hours or a few days, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. Some pets love long walks and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing on the couch or getting belly rubs. Whatever makes your pet happiest, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each pet’s unique personality. There’s nothing better than earning their trust (and maybe becoming their new best friend too!). 🐾 I’ll always treat your pet like family and care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 💕 As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy fitting pet care into my week. -Mondays and Wednesdays: 9am-12pm -Tuesdays And Thursday's : 1:30pm-6pm -Fridays-Sunday: Always available! 😚 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. Before every visit, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any house rules you provide. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I also know how reassuring it is to hear how your pet is doing while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and lots of photos so you can relax knowing they’re having a great time. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved while giving you complete peace of mind. ❤️
“Aileen was very open to being flexible with time and great with communication. She has a great vibe and harley took to her right away, she sent me cute pics on the walk and harley came back totally pleased and happy. Definitely recommend!!”

Growing up, my family had two dogs that I helped care for throughout my childhood, which taught me the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and consistent care. More recently, I’ve cared for my boyfriend’s cousin’s cats while house-sitting, including feeding them, keeping them company, and making sure they were comfortable while their owner was away. I’ve also stayed overnight to watch my neighbors’ dogs, giving them attention, playtime, and companionship in their own home. In my current role as a caregiver for a young girl with autism, I also help care for the family’s home, including cleaning the cat’s litter box each week. My caregiving experience has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and attention to detail—qualities that are just as important when caring for pets. While I may not have formal professional pet care experience yet, I take every responsibility seriously and understand how important it is to earn your trust. I will treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and care that I would give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently have a flexible summer schedule with weekday mornings, evenings, and Sunday mornings available. Pet care is a priority for me, and I’ll always keep my Rover calendar updated as my graduate school schedule changes. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of individualized care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, respect their home, communicate openly, ask questions when needed, and always prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
About: I have my own medium sized senior dog that I have taken care of for 8 years. I have been a volunteer dog walker for Priceless Pets Rescue for 2 years and am used to adjusting walks depending on the specific dog(s) needs. I am currently available all day, every day, except on Mondays and Wednesdays, when I am unavailable. Don't hesitate to reach out, as I am able and willing to fit almost anything into my schedule at the moment. I am willing and able to adhere to any requests necessary for the best care for your pet. I can and will do anything needed to ensure your pet is safe and happy in my care. I have a medium-sized front and back yard to play in, as well as a dog of my own to keep your dog company.
About: I have helped my neighbors with their dogs since I was a child , I have always loved animals. I have had stray cats walk up to me meowing hungry and I always try to go out of my way to feed them and to give them some love . I truly believe every animal needs to be loved and it is our job as humans to do this. I am a dog and a cat person I have one of each at home which I love so much. I know how important my animals are to me and I will love your pet as my own whether I am walking them or just dropping in to check on them I am currently a full time student, however I want a job that makes me happy and animals make me happy. I have a wide availability. I talk to my pets just as I would talk to your pet with a gentle kind voice . I am also very cautious when walking dogs as sometimes they can be very eager to get out and walk .
“We have a chow chow and have an hard time finding someone that our dog likes. She typically is not trusting of other humans and it takes a lot for her to trust people she doesn’t know, but with Daylin something was different she felt super comfortable around her and definitely saw some trust there. I was really shocked because as soon as we gave Daylin the leash she right away went with her and Daylin told us she did great and had a nice time, we were definitely happy and so was our pup. Aside from that Daylin is super nice and provided photos of our pup, a progress report and overall she was just really great. I am definitely happy we got Daylin. She’s awesome and our pup chica gives her two paws up!”

About: I’ve owned a variety of pets all throughout my life and have loved every single one. I’ve taken care of all my pets since they were young up until their senior years and made sure they were all taken care of! I’m currently a college student so weekends work perfectly. As of now, a few days out of the week work but this may be subject to change depending on my classes. I have a fenced backyard with a good sized grass area for any pets needing to go outside and play. The inside is also available for any pets just looking to relax and just be chill.
“Asia is the absolute best!! Very sweet and communicative. My dog is so happy in her pictures and when I come home. I’m so happy to know she was treated right and had a great time on her walk.”
“Bradley and Greta LOVE Jared. We hired him to give them a mid-day break/walk while we were unavailable and he gave them so much more than we were hoping for! He not only took them on a 30+ walk around Green Lake, but he also took them to the dog park to ensure our pups were nice and tired before returning them home. Even though it was only a walk, he gave updates about his arrival/departure times, what they were doing, and how the dogs were. Our dogs were super happy and exhausted when we returned, so we know they're looking forward to seeing Jared again. We plan to use Jared for both our dog walking and house sitting needs in the future. He's our favorite sitter so far!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a Doberman-Husky mix, so I’m very familiar with caring for a high-energy, intelligent breed that needs regular exercise, structure, and plenty of attention. I also have experience raising and caring for a Husky from puppyhood through their first year. In addition, I’ve cared for a senior dog, so I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and following a consistent routine. I’m comfortable administering oral medications to both dogs and cats according to the owner’s or veterinarian’s instructions and always prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following each owner’s care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or a slower pace, I’ll tailor each visit to their individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I care for my own Doberman-Husky mix every day, including walks, exercise, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so I have flexibility throughout the week to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality care. I make it a priority to be dependable, arrive on time, and follow each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of exercise or playtime, affection based on their personality, and a clean space. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and will keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit. My priority is to provide safe, dependable, and loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10, looking after my own pets and neighbor's dog when they're out of town. I understand the importance of companionship and make it my mission to ensure your furry friends feel loved and never alone. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it be my own or a neighbor's, l've always gone above and beyond to ensure that the animal is well taken care of. I will make sure your dog gets the specific attention and care that they need, and they have an enjoyable experience. This work goes far beyond simply watching dogs, it’s about providing consistent, attentive, and trustworthy care to dogs who are an important part of your family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail oriented, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners for peace of mind. Sparky is the reason behind it all. He showed me a love I can’t even fully put into words, loyal, pure, and unconditional. He wasn’t just my dog, he was my comfort, my routine, and a piece of my heart. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through, and there are still moments I feel that emptiness so deeply. But at the same time, he gave my life so much meaning and showed me exactly the kind of care and love every dog deserves. Because of Sparky, I’m more patient, more understanding, and more intentional with every dog I care for. I know how much they mean to you, because I know what it feels like to love a dog with your whole heart. A part of him lives on in everything I do, in every walk, every cuddle, and every moment I spend making sure your babies feel safe and loved. I am a dedicated dog sitter with a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, allowing me to offer drop in appointments on any day that works best for you. This work goes far beyond simply watching dogs, it’s about providing consistent, attentive, and trustworthy care to dogs who are an important part of your family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail oriented, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners for peace of mind. I will also send you lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay or towards the end of the visit(s) For safety, I also ask that you provide emergency contact details and your preferred veterinarian's information.
About: I have cared for an adult in the sunset of his life, a turtle, two dogs beyond 15 years, and currently a four year old maltipoo. The most loyal member of your family can expect my full attention. My goal is to improve their quality of life. This is full time for me. I am saving up for pilot school so I take it seriously. At the same time pets make the best cuddle buddies so expect all the playful attention needed. I earn trust by meeting pets where they are at. If it takes more than one visit to work up to wonderful walks and calm cuddles so be it. Sometimes just being there is enough. Not every pet needs or wants the same thing, but every pet will get my undivided attention.

“Marilyn is so professional and reliable, we are so happy to have found her. She took our dogs last minute and we have definitely found our fit! She has a very large yard which includes a huge portion of it dedicated for dogs which is separated by a fence, just what our furry friends needed, not to mention the care and individual attention that she provided. I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”
“April & Nathan were beyond expectations! Such a wonderful couple who really understand all types of dogs. They are so attentive, so patient, and so loving as people and dog sitters. My pup shadow is a reactive dog and tested their patience a few times and they remained calm cool and collected throughout the stay. They are unmatched in my opinion and I would bring shadow back to them a million times over. Couldn’t recommend them more!”

“Stephanie was great! She sent several photo updates throughout Luka’s stay, which I really appreciated. Luka had a great time, and I felt he was well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Bridgette is amazing!! So glad we met her; she took care of my dog who just had surgery and has separation issues for three days… Bridgette was able to get him to settle down, administer medication, and provide many walks, play time, and snuggles on the bed. She also provided many photos and videos along with updates on how he was doing. I could not ask for a better experience- he even gave her a kiss goodbye! We will definitely be booking with Bridgette again sometime. Thank you again!”
“Melanie was AMAZING! I am so happy to have found her. It’s always a little unsettling leaving your dog behind on vacation, but knowing she was with Melanie (and basically on vacation herself!) put us at so much ease. Zoe had so many great adventures during her 1-week stay, from pack walks in the hills to the beach and beyond. Melanie and her family treated Zoe like a member of their family, which made us so happy. Melanie was super communicative and sent photos of their adventures daily. We’ll definitely be taking Zoe back to Melanie next time we need someone to look after her!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Janae was great! She took such great care of Cashus during the overnight stay and made me feel completely at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. Cashus looked comfortable the entire time. I will definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Buster had a great time at Lacey’s. He immediately connected with her and her adorable Noosha (and even Hillary the cat!). Both Buster and I immediately felt a sense of safety and calm in her space. Looking forward to the next time!”
“Xenia and her crew are the absolute best. Bogie’s favorite Rover ever to go to and stay with. She has the best time with Xenia’s sweet pups, they seem to have a blast every time. We love them and always feel so comfortable leaving Bogie with them!”
“Caludine was truly amazing! My dog can be a handful but I was truly amazed at how great she was with our Millie! She kept us updated throughout the whole stay! Sent me very cute pictures and videos! Claudine was extremely welcoming from the beginning, made us feel at ease since we were very worried about leaving Millie since she suffers from separation anxiety. Millie came back so happy! I am truly grateful to Claudine and highly recommend her!! She was able to handle our 60 pound high energy anxious dog! She is very experienced!! We are so happy we found a great match for our Millie!”
“Biscuit had a great time during his stay with Kim! Kim was very responsive and always quick to answer! And the photos she provided of Biscuit throughout the week were greatly appreciated!”
“Shadow staying overnight for 2 nights with Ashley and his wife was the best decision I ever made. Even though I missed him while I was away I knew that he was well taken care of. I am looking forward in booking with them again and I know Shadow is too now that his cone is off.”
