“They're amazing and very good with our pups. They love them. If you want somebody that's compassionate and very loving this is who you need to book.”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely nice and personable, and she took such good care of my dog. She sent cute pictures and updates, and she even deshedded my dog while she had her. Nala had such a great time that she wasn’t even excited to see me when I picked her up! I would absolutely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a kind and knowledgable person to watch their dog.”
“Don took really good care of my dog Apollo. Apollo had plenty space to run around and get his energy out. Don has really good communication and was very professional. Highly recommended and Apollo will be back again!”
“Paula is Wonderful! She took in our sweet old Gigi on short notice, she is a true dog lover and Gigi took to her immediately. Paula sent us numerous updates and pictures throughout Gigi's stay. She gave her affection, attention and a special spot on the couch, she even gave her a bath. I can't say enough great things about how well she cared for our pup and how much I would recommend her to take excellent care of your puppo.”
“Courtney is amazing!! We felt completely at ease with leaving Goose with her and she even was able to accommodate goose’s really extra feeding routine lol 100/10 recommend!!”
“I can't praise Ashlie and Shiloh enough. We got updates and pictures of our Rottweiler Athena every day. They took care of her and made sure she got plenty of exercise and belly rubs. Being a bigger dog most people are scared and don't know how to handle her but all they say was a silly dog who loves to play and gives kisses. We will definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch our rottie.”
“Patricia is so amazing and sweet. She really helped us out this weekend and let us pick up our dogs later because we got stuck in bad snow weather. Good for our peace of mind, our dogs are always so happy.”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing with my dog, she took great care of Jenny, and when we pick Jenny up she seems extremely happy. I’m truly greatful that they took the time out of their day to take care of my dog on such a short notice.”
“Baxter always has a great time with Sarah and her family. He also has a great time playing with Finn and Tucker. I appreciate the care Sarah gives to Baxter and her communication. Thanks Sarah!”
“Eileen and Michael are the best. We had never left our little Winston with anyone and they took such great care of him. Like he was their own puppy. They were wonderful and amazing..”
“Korina is simply awesome, she took exceptional care of Tofu. The best thing I loved is the picture updates about Tofu and his amazing time during his stay. I would recommend her for sure, and I couldn’t think of a better sitter than her.”
“Shayne and Adam were amazing with our dog. She is young and has a lot of energy and was totally wiped out when we came home. They communicated frequently and sent lots of photos of our dog playing and being well taken care of. We will definitely use Shayne and Adam again!”
“Iolanta had a clean home and great personality! She took care of my Ares exactly as I would and it was nice knowing that I could trust him in someone’s care while I was away.”
“Ms.Donna was incredible with my two (mostly toothless) elderly chihuahuas. I felt a bit nervous as my pups recently stayed for two weeks with another sitter (not from Rover), and both were exhibiting separation anxiety symptoms, and even one of them refused to eat for most of those two weeks. However, Ms. Donna’s loving, caring, attentive, and patient approach completely erased that negative experience from my pups’ memories. With Ms. Donna, my pups enjoyed cuddles, squirrel feeding, sunbathing, and lots of play in the backyard. She sent me daily sweet & detailed notes and added many great pictures that showed my pups having a blast! There were no issues (sigh of relief), and my pups seemed to have the time of their lives. When I came to pick them up, they were relaxed, content, and it almost appeared as if they were reluctant to return home. Also, Ms. Donna’s pup, Opal, is so adorable and a friendly momma type. My pups instantly felt at ease and had fun playing with her. Ms. Donna provides such a high-quality home-away-from-home experience, and we are very grateful to have found Ms. Donna! I know that next time I leave my pups with Ms. Donna, they will have a great time again! I highly recommend Ms. Donna!”
“Cara took great care of my two dogs, one being 14 years old! Both had meds that she was faithful to give them. My dog, Xena, had great fun playing with her golden retriever!”

About: I graduated from PIMA Medical Institute with high honors as a Veterinary Assistant and have experience working in veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and animal rescues. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being that others may miss.

I also provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in caring and experienced hands.
“Savanna was awesome! She did a bunch of drop in visits for us and was always on time and communicative. We received lots of updates and she was excellent at communicating any changes to schedule as needed. We expect to have her watch our dogs in the future!”

“I am definitely a worry wort cat mom and Michelle was the first person I really felt comfortable with having check on our cat Taco. From the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with her and she did an amazing job checking in on him during drop in visits. I couldn't ask for anyone better to trust with our pet and will absolutely book Michelle for any future car sitting needs. 10 out of 10 Can't say enough good things!”
About: I have two daughters who love our cat and dog. Both pets are great with other animals. I have a fenced yard for dogs to run around and I am able to walk them as they may need. My dog, Draper, is a small breed and loves to hang out with the humans, but also loves to run around in the back. We have plenty of dog toys but feel free to bring any, also anything like a blanket to make your pet feel more at home. The same goes with treats. I will always ask before giving any pet our food or treat. Your pet will be right at home and will not be treated any different from our own. Anything you would like to know just ask. I have a dog and cat of my own, your pup will be treated like they are part of the family. The weekends we go on hikes, your pup will come along if that is ok with you, during the week I can walk mornings and evenings. I have a fenced yard, which allows for dogs to have a safe place to play and let some energy out. They will have Draper (dog host) who loves to chase around the backyard.

You won’t have to worry about you pet not getting enough attention or being crated! I provide care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in the client’s home. I make sure they receive their regular feeding schedule, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor their behavior and well-being, administer medications if needed, and maintain a clean, safe environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I work to keep their routine as normal as possible to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also provide updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My priority is ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, just as they would with their own family.
About: I am a female that is not new to good ol' quality work! I have had dogs my whole life and had my last "partner in crime" for 16 years. I have had all kinds of different dogs from a macho weiner dog to a gentle great dane. Size does not matter when it comes to taking great care of your furry family member! I also had a Golden retriever that had thyroid issues and had to take medications daily, so i am comfortable with administrating meds if necessary. I am a fun loving adventurous person that would love to take the time to walk or hang out with your pet. I do strongly believe that our pets are part of the family and will treat your's as apart of MY family! I am trying to build my clientele and do my dream job of working with pets. I am open all times during the daytime weekday hours to play with your furry baby. I care for my pets at home with lots of love and patience. I have a pitbull terrier and a weiner dog. Both that I rescued.
About: I have owned animals since I was a child. I have my own dog and I love her more than anything. I want to become more involved with taking care of animals and adding joy into their lives. I only work 3 days a week right now at a treatment facility. I have a lot of free time and want to spend it doing what I love which is being around animals. I love walking and enjoy taking pets with me. Anytime I am watching TV or reading a book I ensure the animals around me feel included and safe. Snuggles are the best I have extra time on the weekends and can make time during the week for pet sitting. I want to find time to do what I love. I make sure that they have plenty of attentions while I am there and are e never alone too long and never do without anything they need. I like to make sure they feel extra taken care of since being away from their human(s) is already hard enough.
About: My family and I use to foster puppies all the time when I was little. We also always had our family husky lab dog. I now have my own Husky who will be carried for at home while I care for yours. have been in the dog sitting business for so long with just friends and neighbors. But I ended up getting this one gig where the lady herself boarded dogs and no joke she had at least 6 dogs one time when she asked me to stay overnight. All had different food and some medication. There were 2 chichas downstairs together. and the other 4 were left lose to sleep with me. I'm looking for jobs now, so I'm pretty open on schedule. So please feel free reach out with the time you want for your animals. I live in a house with 2 other dogs for my Husky to play with. Which I will leave my dog there when im out looking after others, as she has a loving little tribe at home with my roomates and her dog friends. I'm use to my husky needing run alot and having alot of energy so nothing is new for me in that department of dogs. If needed to live in with the dog, then I will fully move in for that time frame so the dog isn't lonely. I love play tug of war and ball with dogs and some cats even have played fetch for me. I love getting cuddles from little furry pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve.
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our newly sick cat. Our cat was diagnosed with gastroenteritis a week prior to us leaving on a long trip. Kaitlyn followed instructions diligently and administered all her meds which for our cat is quite the challenge. She’s great! Definitely recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have had my own now for 8 years. Dogs are an important part of my life and I enjoy them so much. I did dog walking with Wag for about a year while I lived in Denver, I had several repeat customers who enjoyed my services. I am careful with weather, environment, and triggers for each dog. Playtime or walks are something I find very important and I ensure happens to keep them exercised and healthy. I run an online business so I am able to easily care for pets during the week and evenings. My weekends are wide open to care for your pet so you can getaway on your trips! Let your pawed friends enjoy the freedom of the country without the hustle and bustle of the city! I run an online business so I am able to easily care for pets during the daytime during weekdays. My weekends and evenings are wide open to care for your pet. I have a fenced yard for dogs to freely roam and go potty. There are nice shady trees if they enjoy lounging outside and plenty of new smells to explore. There are sticks available if your dog is a stick lover (please inform if this is not allowed.) My home has AC to keep pets cool and give shelter from summer heat. Dog water is RO filtered and pure. I can ensure there are multiple water dishes to ensure there is always water available. Potty time is always available. Walks around the neighborhood are leashed. There are no unexpected encounters with off-leash dogs on walks, the occasional neighbor dog barking from the distance. My home has distance from the next neighbor with pets. My "caged pets" that is shown on my profile is a 70 gallon saltwater aquarium with fish and corals. Should not be an issue with any pets. Some might even be curious to watch them moving around.
About: Desde mi niñez he compartido mi vida con animales, lo que me ha dado una comprensión intuitiva de sus necesidades y un profundo respeto por su bienestar. Para mí, cuidar a tu mascota no es un trabajo, es una extensión natural de mi propia vida con compañeros peludos. Ofrezco una atención compasiva y adaptada a la edad de tu peludito. Ya sean paseos lentos o la energía de tu adolescente cochorro. Debido a que mi rutina es flexible y estoy en casa, puedo ofrecer una supervisión continua. Esto significa una respuesta inmediata a cualquier necesidad, ya sea un paseo inesperado, un juego, o simplemente estar ahí para aliviar la ansiedad por separación. Adaptabilidad Total: Puedo integrar perfectamente las necesidades específicas de tu mascota (horarios de comida estrictos, paseos frecuentes, sesiones de entrenamiento cortas) en mi día sin que se conviertan en una interrupción, sino en la estructura normal de mi tiempo en casa. En resumen, mi rutina diaria gira en torno a asegurar que las mascotas a mi cargo reciban atención, estructura y compañía constante, porque siempre estoy aquí." Mi casa es espaciosa, ofreciendo un excelente ambiente interior. Además, cuento con un pequeño patio para salidas rápidas y supervisadas. Lo mejor es que estamos rodeados de lugares muy lindos para pasear, por lo que aseguramos variedad y estimulación física diaria.
About: We are a Christian family, and our home is filled with warmth, structure, and a loving environment for every pet that stays with us. With over 30 years of experience caring for pets since childhood, we’ve consistently cared for dogs of friends and family of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, and providing both active play and calm, structured care. Being home throughout the day allows me to give consistent attention and supervision, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Your dog won’t just be sitting around—we love keeping pets active and engaged! A typical day includes outdoor playtime, walks (for dogs who enjoy them), and mental stimulation through interactive toys and games. We also make sure there’s plenty of time to rest and relax so your dog feels comfortable and at home. We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for safe outdoor play and exercise. We also have a young, medium-sized dog who is very friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. I prioritize safety at all times and carefully monitor interactions to ensure a calm and secure environment. I can also crate your dog if needed and am happy to follow your pet’s routine and preferences.
“Ana and her family were so very sweet and made me feel comfortable since I was new to rover I was a bit nervous. Junior was well taken care of and I was sent pics during the day that reassured me of his comfort and safety. Thank you again we will use your services again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Lori! She was absolutely amazing with my senior pup, Trudy. From the start, I felt completely at ease knowing Trudy was in such caring and capable hands. She sent me thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay (without me even needing to ask) which gave me so much peace of mind. Trudy looked so comfortable and well-loved in every update. It’s clear she truly cares for the dogs she watches, and I’m beyond grateful for the attention and compassion she gave to my girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving sitter!”
“Tyffanie did a great job with my Dalmatian puppy. He’s a little hyper and I was extremely nervous to drop him off but I got so many cute photos and updates from her throughout the day! He came home so tired he immediately fell asleep and seemed worn out from all the attention he received! So happy to have found her and will be using her for all my puppy’s daycare needs!”
“They took great care of Rick James during our visit. He loved his adventures. Very nice and professional. Pickup/drop-off service is a plus. Recommend them to take care of your doggie.”
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers with 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and sizes, from senior lap dogs to large, high-energy breeds. Our home currently includes a sweet 16-year-old Shih Tzu and an 80-pound Griffon, so we’re very comfortable balancing different temperaments, energy levels, routines, and care needs. What sets us apart is the environment we provide. We’re not just offering a place to stay, dogs get a calm, loving home with plenty of space to safely explore, play, sniff, relax, and feel part of the family. We understand that every dog is different, and we adapt to their comfort level, whether they’re an energetic adventurer or a couch cuddler who just wants a quiet place to nap. We’re especially attentive to communication, routines, and making pet parents feel confident while they’re away. Pets are already a central part of our daily life, so welcoming additional dogs into our routine feels natural. Our days already revolve around walks, feeding schedules, outdoor time, play, cuddles, and making sure our own dogs are happy and comfortable. Because I work from home and wespend a lot of time at home as a family, dogs receive consistent supervision, companionship, and interaction throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. We also have the flexibility to accommodate different exercise needs, potty schedules, and slower-paced senior routines when needed. Weekends are especially great for dogs here, with lots of outdoor time, relaxed family energy, and room to roam. Creating a safe, low-stress environment is our top priority. Dogs in our care are treated like part of the family and are always supervised appropriately based on temperament, age, and energy level. Our property provides plenty of space for dogs to play and explore safely while still having access to comfortable indoor areas to rest and decompress. Since we have experience with both senior dogs and large breeds, we understand the importance of introductions, boundaries, pacing, and reading dog behavior carefully. We keep communication open and proactive with pet parents and are happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance throughout each stay. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, loved, exercised, and genuinely at home while you’re away.
“My chihuahua mix doggies, Roscoe and Mia love Donna and she loves on them. They come home happy and content and I know they have had a great time with Donna, her dog, Opal and her husband, Dave because they come home and sleep. Also there are always lots of terrific pictures. We are thankful for Rover and Donna!”
“From what I could tell, Tigger had a lot of fun! Lily has 3 other dogs who were very sweet and played well with Tigger. When I got her back she was so tired she just slept the rest of the night! Lily was very communicative and did everything I requested. This was truly a last minute life saver!”
“Carrie and her husband did such a great job with our dogs. They were both exhausted and very content when I picked them up and provided great photos of their day together.”
“I really appreciated how flexible Mei was with watching Bentley last minute while my boyfriend was having surgery. She sent lots of pictures throughout his stay so it was great knowing he was happy and taken care of while I was dealing with all the medical stuff at the hospital. Thank you!”
“I appreciated Erica’s willingness to book daycare last minute. She took great care of Rosie and provided a safe place for her to hang out with people. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Erica again. Thanks for taking care of Rosie.”
“Jennifer provided excellent doggy daycare for our 6 month old puppy. Our pup was excited to go each day, which shows she had a great time. Jennifer had great communication and provided frequent updates. Overall, she made me feel so comfortable, and we will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, I’ve always had my own, and honestly, I can’t imagine a house without one. I started helping out neighbors and family with their pets when I was 10, and I’ve been the "go-to" dog sitter for my friends ever since. I’ve handled just about every personality type there is. I treat every dog I watch like they’re part of my own family. I’m 62 years old and work from home so I’m available most days, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pups! Because of my flexible schedule your pet can always talk me into cuddling instead of working. Big bonus is I live in Meridian Ranch. We have a fenced yard and a doggie door to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. We also allow pets on our furniture as well as in the beds….just sayin…..we have two grandchildren who adore dogs and are excited about having them here when they visit. We have had some pets who have peed in the house despite being house broken. If needed we do put belly bands/&or diapers on your pet if they use our carpet/and or furniture instead of outside. We do host up to four pets at a time so there could be a chance that your pet would have a playmate during their stay.

But my friends semi-regularly ask me to stay at their houses to watch their animals for them, often times a week or more. I work remotely with little personal commitments in life, so it makes it easy for me to watch animals while working. When it fits with my schedule, I find enjoyment in watching animals.

My goal isn’t just to watch your pet, it’s to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you return. I’m currently in the military but I don’t work many hours due to being postpartum! You won’t have to worry about you pet not getting enough attention or being crated! I provide care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in the client’s home. I make sure they receive their regular feeding schedule, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor their behavior and well-being, administer medications if needed, and maintain a clean, safe environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I work to keep their routine as normal as possible to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also provide updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My priority is ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, just as they would with their own family.
About: I've pet sit for clients, neighbors, family and friends for 10 years! We go for walks & play in the dog run. We're always more than happy to bathe.

I've also pet sit, cats, horses, lizard's etc..... My clients get an update everyday about their fur babies as well as a picture.
About: I’ve been a huge animal lover since I was little and was the little girl who always begged for a puppy for Christmas. After my dream came true one day I decided growing up I wanted to do more to be around animals! Well here I am on this wonderful app looking for some furry friends to help look after! Whether it’s a nice walk with some play time and feeds to running and getting all the puppy energy out, I’m here to help! My schedule is very flexible as I work overnights and there is always someone home! I currently reside in a home with family who has agreed to any and all dog watching which allows for someone to be home 24/7, and with a large fenced in yard, it also allows for running and lots of play time! Due to having a young child I am very active and can keep up with everything including small and large dogs. I enjoy playing catch with pups, running to get some energy out and handling any of the day to day activities your furry friend may enjoy!
About: Not much that sets me apart besides the fact that I have ADHD which means I hyper focus on things and will just hyper focus on the things that your pet needs/wants. And since I am able to do that with the combination of my experience with my own pets your pets will love to stay with me. Pet care is my full-time focus. Because I don't have a traditional 9-to-5, my schedule is completely flexible, allowing me to prioritize your pet's specific routine. Whether they need a mid-day medication dose, extra-long walks, or just someone home for consistent companionship, I am available to provide undivided attention and quick responses throughout the day. I provide a "home away from home" experience rooted in consistency. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with a routine that mirrors their own. When visiting your home, I prioritize security and cleanliness, ensuring your pet feels safe in their natural habitat. Regardless of the location, I maintain your specific feeding, exercise, and medical schedules with 100% precision, supplemented by frequent photo updates and plenty of one on one attention.
About: I love all dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I walk my dog every day and provide a clean safe environment at my home. I work part-time from home so I am usually always home. I live in Woodman Hills. I have a doggie door, fenced yard and love to spend time with dogs. I am available almost anytime to watch your dog. I work part-time from home and have plenty of time to watch after your dog and play with them. I have a clean safe fenced back yard and can also crate a dog if necessary. I keep the dogs inside with me except for them playing and potty breaks.
About: I love making new animal friends! I'll take care of them just the same as you would. Rest assured and relax knowing your family members are taken care of. I've had my own pets since I was a child and have helped rehab and re-home young and old pups and kittens. Pet care is my only job right now which gives me more time with your animals. I know things come up unexpectedly so I also accept same day bookings and cancellations. I can provide any care your pet may require. From a casual drop in to a detailed care plan, I'm more than happy to go with your flow.
