“Carolina and her family opened their home to Godfrey for 5 nights. This was Godfrey's first time being away from me and he was in the best of hands. Carolina stuck to his routine and gave me plenty of updates. Godfrey is a very special dog and his personality was able to shine through with Carolina! I am so happy with the experience and would recommend her to anyone!!”

“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”

“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”

About: I’m pretty much a full-time stay-at-home dog mom to my two large dogs, so caring for dogs is already a huge part of my everyday life! I’ve spent months working on training with my own dogs and have lots of hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, but I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me, with plenty of attention, playtime, love, and access to my fully fenced-in yard. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and keep you updated with plenty of pictures throughout their stay! Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday routine! I’m home most of the day with my own pets and have a very flexible work schedule, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, attention, meals on their normal schedule, and lots of time outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and two dogs of my own for company. I always prioritize safe introductions and will make sure your dog is comfortable with mine before their stay. Pets are welcome to make themselves at home, and I can easily separate or crate dogs when needed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Makaila was Milo’s first cat sitter. She did an amazing job. She kept in communication with me to let me know how Milo’s was doing. Makaila had to administer two inhalers to Milo for her asthma which is not an easy task. Milo doesn’t take well to strangers but she did great with Makaila. I’m very pleased with Makaila’s time spent with Milo. I was very nervous about leaving Milo to go away, but Makaila did such a great job I can plan another trip and know I have someone I can trust to take care of Milo :)”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was very little. I used to live on a farm and had responsibilities for feeding, walking, and caring for various animals. I am currently a full time online student in college and a stay at home mom with my 1 year old, therefore, I am free all day to care for your cats or your dogs! I take my dog for a walk around my quiet neighborhood in the evenings! She is a medium size dog with lots of energy! I also have 4 rescue cats that enjoy laying around the house being lazy. I have a fenced in backyard that is fairly large so your pups can get the zoomies and have a ton of space! We have a spare bedroom for pets to venture in and use for when they need their own space or just want to lay on the bed. My dog, Lily, is also trained for anxiety needs.

She was very responsive to our request and was able to accommodate our change in pick up time. I can tell her and her family treated Jax like one of their own because he adapted so quickly!

Pets are welcome to make themselves at home, and I can easily separate or crate dogs when needed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I currently work from home, so your pup gets plenty of company and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. Our days can include walks, playtime, backyard time, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby while I work. I have a 2-year-old Black Lab/Boxer mix who is very friendly and loves having other dogs around. We also have a fully fenced-in yard where the dogs can safely get some fresh air, play, and stretch their legs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal schedule as closely as possible—including meals, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also love sending photo updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see that your dog is happy and doing well while you're away. ❤️ Whether your dog is energetic and ready to play or prefers to curl up and relax, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and companionship. If your pup is looking for a comfortable home-away-from-home, I’d love to meet you both! Because I work from home, your dog gets plenty of company and attention throughout the day! Our days can include walks, playtime, backyard time, cuddles, and plenty of relaxing while I work. I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether they’re high-energy and ready to play or happier lounging beside me. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐶 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. For pets staying in my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and my 2-year-old Black Lab/Boxer mix is very friendly with other animals. I always make introductions gradually and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and other special needs. I also keep a close eye on pets indoors and outside and make sure doors, gates, and the yard are secure. Most importantly, I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of the family—and I’ll keep you updated with photos so you know your pup is happy and doing well!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by and caring for all kind of animals (even monkeys). Family, friends, colleagues, and strangers, have relied on me to care for their dogs, cats, and more for years; Knowing that I will love their pets like I love my own, my clients have confidence and trust when booking with me! As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and able to provide consistent care and attention. I intentionally only accept one additional dog at a time so each pet receives plenty of supervision and individualized care I have one dog, Ollie, that loves to play and keep every guest company. I am in a two story duplex with a small unfenced yard, but have an outdoor lead for potty breaks and plenty of areas for walking in my neighborhood. If necessary, for separation/calm down time, I have a baby gate available that can break up my kitchen and living room and I also have a spare room upstairs. There will be no instances where our pets are left alone unmonitored for the safety of both parties.

About: Hi, My name is Brooke I go by Seven and my entire life has been surrounded by animals, from catching frogs, lizards, feeding the squirrels and always just having that touch even with the animals that don't trust or care for most humans. I have that special something. I started walking the whole neighborhoods dogs when i was 9 years old, i would walk up to 5 at a time. At the age of 13 i started volunteering for an animal rescue fostering dogs and cats. I was the girl growing up all my friends would bring stray or lost animals too. 16 i started working as a vet assistant, at 18 working a 150 dog ranch/doggie daycare and boarding facility to then move on into my early twenties working a place in Seattle called Dogwood Play Park, the first of its kind. It was an indoor outdoor 21 plus play park and daycare. Owners could bring their dogs to play while they had a beer and got to know other dog lovers, I built many beautiful dog... and people friendships there. I have always been told by the owners they that their dogs listens to me better..I say its just cause i am alpha pack leader!! I have massive respect and love for all animals. I worked in Portland Oregon on a farm in 2022 called Trisklee farm where i cared for all the animals on the property as farmer seven, i did weekend tours of the farm and helped run kids summer camp.I am very good with all ages and types of animals. My biggest strength is animal body language, i can read an animals move before they do it. Something i have picked up over my life span over working with animals everyday. I can administer medications and very aware of your pets behaviors to make sure they feel the most comfortable at all times. I owned guinea pigs, giant Flemish Rex rabbit, cats, and just recently lost my best friends Clyde who was a mastiff Doberman this June , he was almost 12. And Alice my English mastiff who was almost 11 back in 2023 . large breeds are my specialty. I just had a new born on July 29th 2026 and have a year and a half year old as well. I am a stay at home mom who misses her pets and want my children to grow up around animals without making the commitment right now to add to the family. So being good around children who are young and learning boundaries is a must so we don’t put your pet or my children in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation. Hope to hear from you and care for your furry babies . I am a doula and stay at home mom I jsut lost my soul dog and looking to add some furry friends to our pack as friends for my children to learn to be around and get some love . I am very loving at attentive, I notice your pets needs almost immediately and what works for them. I’ll be as involved or chill as they need me to be. It’s your pets world I’m living in it. Yet I’m still alpha and set boundaries

About: I’ve always dog-sat for family and friends and have plenty of experience caring for dogs. I also worked at a pet resort for two years while in high school, where I cared for and interacted with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m very comfortable around dogs and understand that each one has its own needs and routine. I’m currently a college student and am looking to provide dog-sitting and pet care, especially over the next few weeks after my internship ends and before I head back to school. I love being around dogs and would be happy to help with dog sitting, walks, drop-in visits, or anything else your pup may need! I’d be happy to help with walks, potty breaks, drop-in visits, and giving your dog some extra love and attention while you’re away! I have a small dog of my own at home, so I’m not able to provide care in my home, but I’m more than happy to come to you and care for your pup in the comfort of their own space.

I can easily crate your dog or contain them in a room (included a gated kitchen) if requested. I also have two gated decks that my dogs love to sunbath on, a nice backyard, and sidewalks around my house for walks.

“Moby, a clinger, was in a total comfort zone amongst this loving family. Care was complete + a boot camp of healthy activity. Other 🐾 campers alongside was great for his social abilities. Now, our go-to when we have to be away!”

“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hazel and sent a lot of pictures and updates. She also took her on nice walks and Hazel had plenty of outside time. She administered Hazel's medication each day as well. Overall, Elizabeth did a great job with my dog.”

“This was my first time using Rover/dog sitter and I was nervous leaving my two girls with strangers. After doing a meet and greet with the sitter I felt I made the right decision and was less nervous. I love the care they received with the sitter and their family. Daily updates, pictures and videos showed me just how happy my girls were. I will definitely book with Francis E and her family again, without any hesitation.”

About: I’m pretty much a full-time stay-at-home dog mom to my two large dogs, so caring for dogs is already a huge part of my everyday life! I’ve spent months working on training with my own dogs and have lots of hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, but I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me, with plenty of attention, playtime, love, and access to my fully fenced-in yard. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and keep you updated with plenty of pictures throughout their stay! Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday routine! I’m home most of the day with my own pets and have a very flexible work schedule, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, attention, meals on their normal schedule, and lots of time outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and two dogs of my own for company. I always prioritize safe introductions and will make sure your dog is comfortable with mine before their stay. Pets are welcome to make themselves at home, and I can easily separate or crate dogs when needed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“As first time puppy parents and first time Rover users it was extremely difficult to leave our pup with anyone else. Suzanne made the entire process extremely easy and comfortable for us. From the booking and flexible arrangements to a slew of happy pictures of our puppy Eloise smiling and playing with her and her family made us feel extremely comfortable in our decision and allowed us the peace of mind to enjoy our getaway. We will not hesitate to use Suzanne again for any of our boarding needs in the future. Thank you Suzanne for loving up on our pup for us!”
