“Katie and her family took wonderful care of our pup. We felt very comfortable leaving her in their care for the week and would definitely choose her to care for our dog again!”
“Dash had a wonderful week long stay at Renata’s home. Plenty of exercise and outdoor time on their beautiful property on the lake. Would absolutely trust to take care of our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Ricky did a great job , got my boys back healthy and happy . He provided updates with pics and was really responsive. Trust that Ricky will take care of your pet . Will definitely have him look after my boys again.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Christle! From the moment I met her, I fell in love with her beautiful yard and her sweet dogs — it’s truly a dog paradise. I have a very anxious pup with lots of different triggers, and Christle was amazing at helping me feel at ease. Over the two weeks my dog stayed with her, she sent updates and reassured me that my fur baby was doing great and adapting well — which really speaks to her and her family’s incredible patience and care. I am almost at disbelief with how well my dog was doing in her home! It was so clear that she treated my dog like one of her own — she completely spoiled her in the best way possible! From providing cuddles to sharing her canned food with my dog, it is clear that Christle is passionate about going above and beyond the dogs who come through her home. It was such a relief to know my pup was in such loving hands. I’ll 100% be booking with Christle again — she’s the best! 🐾”
“Patty took such good care of Sadie during Sadie's time with her. Followed Sadie's routine very well, communicated with us many times and I would highly recommend her to anyone else who is considering boarding their dog in the future. This is the beginning of a wonderful dog sitting relationship. (and a shout out to her son, Peter, for bonding with Sadie!) Thanks so such Patty.”
“Maria was amazing!! Our nervous boy was in good hands! Maria was great with our big goofy dog, she gave him the love and attention he needed while we were away. She sent photos and checked in with me often. Definitely highly recommend and will use again! Thanks again Maria!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. We currently have a sweet 9-year-old small dog who has been part of my life since puppyhood. I personally raised and potty-trained her, so I understand the patience, consistency, and care that goes into helping a dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’ve also cared for many of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs over the years. When your dog stays with me, they won’t simply be “boarded”—they’ll be welcomed into a loving home. From the moment they arrive, I’ll treat them like one of my own, with lots of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m dependable, responsible, and will make your dog’s comfort and happiness a priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. As a result, my schedule is quite flexible to meet the needs of you and your fur baby I have a very large yard and a 9 year old gentle, sweet dog. Although I have a large yard, I always keep my dog leashed and I would do the same for yours to ensure safety. My home is on a quiet cul-de-sac in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walks.
“Betsabeth and her pup Bear are absolutely great! Freya has definitely made new friends in them and gets so excited when I drop her off for the weekend-- I know she's being cared for well. Betsabeth is very accommodating and keeps me updated with pictures while I'm away :) I highly recommend her!”
“Eddie was awesome. Gave daily updates with pictures and video. Tucker was well taken care of without issues. And was flexible and kept him another night when plans changed. Will def be using him again”
“Alan & Luis take such good care of Cody while we are away. We get up dated pics and videos every day and feed back on how he is doing. It makes us feel secure that Cody is in good hands while we are away. Plenty of activity and interacting with the other dogs . Clean environment and worry free. From my fur baby to you both... thank you for taking such good care of me. Miss you!!”
“Janelle was amazing with our Jimmy, yet again! I feel so comfortable leaving him at her house with her sweet family. I know that I do not have to worry about him at all. It's a great feeling to have, as a dog owner.”
“This was my initial use via rover.com for any services for Chance. I was 3 thousand miles away and did not have a single worry moment. Patrick and Susan were awesome with my fur bag boy, lol. The pics showed how happy he was, I think I need to plan more getaways knowing I have a wonderful place for Chance to stay-cation!”
“Great stay with fantastic photos/videos, playmates, and I can tell just how well Jenn and Inam care for all of the pups... definitely looking forward to future stays!”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“We used Rebecca for boarding for a week and I would highly recommend. She was patient and answered all of my initial questions. Very warm and welcoming. My dog had a blast there for a week and I felt 100% confident my dog was in good hands. I did not worry about him once while I was away. Excellent communication, we were sent numerous pictures/videos/updates. She truly makes every dog feel like they are family.”
“We asked Kristen to sit our dog Louie at her house for a weekend. She was just great with him--and we could see that from when we first met her. Our dog is a rescue so he can be a bit shy at first, but he warmed up immediately to Kristen. She is trustworthy, friendly, responsive and kind. 10/10 would book with Kristen again!”

“Krista came exactly when we needed (on short notice too) and was awesome company for our cat! Enyo got her food on time and had a clean litterbox, plus time to play with her toys. Krista also made sure to notify us of an appliance leak and help stop it from spreading while we were away, which was very much appreciated.”
About: I've had pets in my world my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats and many small critters. Animal care is like second nature to me! My kids grew up in a one or two dog household, which I raised and trained as puppies and cared for during their senior years. Currently I am the proud owner of Finnley, my 4 year old black Labrador Retriever. I've raised and trained her since she was eight weeks old. Through consistent positive training, she has mastered basic commands and has become an active well-behaved companion. Because of my daily routine of walking and hiking at least 2 miles every day, I have the stamina and enthusiasm to give energetic dogs the quality exercise and playtime they need. In addition to dogs, I also have deep personal experience with cats. I lovingly cared for a sweet feline, Sadie from a kitten through her senior years- she lived to the ripe age of 13. Whether you have an energetic pup who needs a brisk walk or an independent cat who needs gentle attention or food routines maintained, I understand how to read different pet personalities. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I can provide reliable daily walks or drop-in services to keep your pet(s) happy. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet(s) in someone else's hands. I will follow feeding, walking, and household instructions to the letter, double check all doors and gates and never take unnecessary risks on walks. I will treat every animal in my care like a member of my own family.
“Rachel is amazing! She is my regular sitter and everyone’s worst fear happened this time around and my cat ended up pretty sick. Rachel was on it immediately and brought him to our emergency vet right away to address the issue - luckily my cat ended up recovering pretty quickly but I can’t thank her enough for how quickly she reacted and making sure to keep me updated throughout! She will continue to be my go to anytime I’m away!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! I have a tuxedo cat of my own that I rescued from the Humane Society, and my parents have dogs! I will make sure your kitty is given tons of love.
“Megan was an awesome cat sitter! She was reliable and attentive. She communicated well and her updates were very thorough. Most importantly, our cat loved her. I would recommend her services and would definitely work with her again in the future.”
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and truly enjoy helping others keep their pets happy, comfortable, and safe when they can’t be there.

Your pet will have companionship and supervision while in my care, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your pet can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and get plenty of exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and loving home environment with lots of attention and supervision. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide so they feel safe, happy, and at home while in my care.
“Renata was incredible with our 3 month old cat. She sent pictures and videos daily and was very pleasant. It was clear she really cared and made us feel very comfortable. We'll absolutely using her services again!”
“Josh is outstanding. I highly recommend him. He communicated well, was efficient in taking care of all the tasks, and my cats were sitting in his lap by the end of his visits with them. he was exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease when leaving my two cats for two weeks!”
“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”
“Eve was amazing when she looked after my cat! Prior to the session, she asked questions and made notes to ensure she didn’t forget anything. During my time away, she took great care of Grace - doing everything I asked and sending lots of photos/videos. Absolutely would book with her again!”

“Renata took such good care of our pup. She put her at ease when she was nervous. Once our pup settled in, she kept me updated and then captured all the fun moments of playing and silliness. Our girl had the best time and was exhausted from playing so much. Such a wonderful experience!”

“Christle has been a Godsend. She is amazing, kind & a wonderful dog sitter. My Harmony LOVED going there! She was treated with kindness & when she got home she was tired from playing. I absolutely recommend her as your furry companion will be in great hands!”

“Lauren is fantastic. She’s dependable, clearly loves dogs, and takes great care of them at daycare. My pup always comes home happy and tired from a great day. Highly recommend.”
“Beshoy and Lisa were fantastic sitters for my puppy! They were responsive, attentive, and friendly. They also have a doodle who was the absolute best playmate for my puppy. An added bonus. I’d definitely recommend them!”
“We’ve been looking for an alternative to commercial daycare because our dog used to come home completely exhausted. With Janelle, we picked him up happy and relaxed, and I know he’d been well cared for all day, which made such a difference! She was very communicative and friendly, and we’d happily book with her again.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of genuine care, attentiveness, and patience I bring to every pet I work with. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I have experience with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication, and a slower pace. I’m confident in reading animal behavior and adjusting to their needs, whether that means helping a shy pet come out of their shell or keeping a high-energy pup mentally and physically stimulated. I’m also reliable, clean, and communicative with pet parents so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently home for the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility and time to dedicate to your furry friend! I absolutely love getting my steps in—so walks, playtime, and keeping your pet active are right up my alley. Whether it’s a game of tug-of-war, fetch, or working their brain with fun puzzles, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. What sets me apart is the energy and attentiveness I bring to every visit. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, connect with them, and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs structured walks or your senior dog needs a little extra care and patience, I’ve got them covered. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can thrive. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and even snuggle time. I make sure they feel like part of the family, with lots of attention, enrichment, and love throughout the day.
“Lisa was the best dog sitter. She was friendly, kind, and communicative. She helped us out so last minute. She took great care of our little Hunter. This was my first time using rover and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone. She responded to my concerned mom texts and sent pics of our pup hanging out outside. Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”
About: I have been asked to take care of dogs/cats while family have been out of town on many occasions I have 3 of my own cats and niece and nephew cat (yes) lol also two puppers that are family a newphie and great Pyrenees. Animals are my family and I feel happier with them than I do with people. Depending on location I can be available when needed. I work from home I can be flexible as long as I am communicated with in a timely manner As I have three cats I wouldn’t be able to bring any other pets into my home as they are rescues who have severe anxiety and to keep my fur babies safe I would ask that they be respected and I can only make home visits. Thank you !
“Nazim took care of our dogs with a short notice which was very convenient for us. He was courteous and helpful. The dogs bonded with him immediately. They had plenty space to run. We were happy with his service.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. I love every animal for their unique personality and quirks. I have had several clients over the past 10 years that came to me by word of mouth. I have had dogs from puppies to seniors. I do have a full time job but I work remotely most days. I am flexible so I can be there when they need me. All I need is WiFi. If I watch them in my home, we will meet ahead so I can assess how your dog will do with my dogs and cats. I have a fully fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood. If I watch them in your home I come by for a meet and greet.
About: Even though I don't have a lot of certified training, I know how to show my love and affection to each and everyone pets just like I have in the past for my own. I am currently working part-time and also going to school. I can take care of your fur baby after 3p.m. in the weekday and before 4 p.m. on Saturday and free on Sunday. I will treat every one's pet with love, care, respect and patience that they need and treat them as one of my own family members.
About: I am a huge animal person and have been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a 7 year old (30lb) dog that we rescued as a puppy. She is a sweet girl and is use to having a companion (since we also had a spaniel for 17 years that recently passed away) so she is comfortable with other dogs. We also foster puppies and have experience with many different breeds and personalities! While you're away, working, or just have other plans that can't include your pet, he or she is welcome to stay with us or I can come to you. Either way, I will strive to make your furry family member feel comfortable and cared for. During the day, your pet will get plenty of attention. I currently work from home full time, which allows more flexibility with outside breaks and neighborhood walks. While I work, I will be in the same room as your pet so they will never feel alone. As far as basic care and house rules go, their feeding schedule can be flexible and adjusted to match his/her schedule at home. They are allow to roam the main areas of our home and snuggle up on the couch as they wish!
“Inam and Jennifer are wonderful! Very communicative and Lola loved them from the beginning. Lola is so tired when she gets home and she hardly wants to leave when I pick her up. If you have a social dog that likes playing with other dogs they are the right fit!”

About: My entire life I have owned at least 3 pets. From foster cats, to my own cats, dogs, neighbors dogs, etc. I am a pet person through and through. I have a range of ages of animals I’ve taken care of - from dogs in elderly stages to 2 week old kittens. I work from home and am constantly taking quick walks around the block during the day to keep my energy up and get outside. Love to explore with a buddy! We have experience cat sitting in our home and all goes smoothly. We ensure doors are closed and locked at all times so there is a 0% chance of escaping. We also live next to a bike trail for great long dog walks!

About: Hello pet parents! I find great fulfillment in caring for and nurturing your pets. Caring for pets also gives me a wonderful outlet to indulge my intense and immense love for dogs!

All I can promise is that you shall not regret working with me! I work from home remotely for my day job, which affords me plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies!

I have a family member living with me who is retired and stays home full time, so there will be at least one responsible adult looking after your precious pet(s) at all times!

Plus a have a friendly medium side dog who loves other pets. He would be a great companion for your furry baby.
“Archie loved loved his time with Rebecca! She followed each instruction and walked and fed him as agreed upon! Archie can’t wait to have Rebecca sit for him again! 🐾”
“Met Josh for an interview and he took his time coming through the door to make sure my dog was comfortable, that was great. We all went for a walk and chatted about what I was expecting as an owner and what was best for my dog. I hired him for a few walks to see how it went and everything was wonderful. Very respectful, sent photos and updated me when he arrived, walked and left. We are very happy to have someone so responsible and kind when we are gone from the house. Shorty says Hire Josh :)”
“Fruzsina is a fantastic, highly engaged dog walker. Her communication is top-tier—I always get great photos and a breakdown of how the walk went. She is very proactive about suggesting new ways to keep my dog enriched and stimulated. She is very involved and enthusiastic, which shows how much she cares. A great choice for any owner who values a collaborative and communicative partnership.”
“Katie helped me out tremendously when I had to find a pet sitter to walk my dog Kava last minute, and she was absolutely fantastic! She was responsive, professional, and so kind. She was truly a life saver and I felt confident that Kava was in good hands.”

About: Hello doggy parents and families! My name is Maryssa, I’m 29 years old and a stay at home mom with lots of free time, and a love for animals. I am new to rover, but not new to pet care. I’ve 20+ years of pet care experience, and am looking to build my pet sitting business. I have a huge passion for dogs, with two mixed pit bulls at home, and a short haired tabby cat. I am skilled in dog walking (any size ☺️), strict feeding schedules, cuddles, and more. Please message me any care needs you have and I will be sure to accommodate. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your furry friend! I’m a stay at home mom and I have a lot of free time! I love spending time with my dogs, going for walks and to the dog park! In my home my animals can be crated if needed, and they are let outside on a long lead. For visits for your animal, I can provide any service needed!
About: Ever since I was a kid it was my duty to take care of pets. Had 2 birds, 2 Guinea pigs, beta fish, cat and a dog. Cared for each one day in and day out. My first experience with animal care was probably age 11/12 caring for a family friend’s cats and dog. Daily walks, routine meals, etc. My favorite part of pet care is being able to meet each pet’s needs. Along with getting know their personalities. Funny enough I’m writing this paragraph whilst taking care of this pup while his parents are on holiday. Currently working 4 days a week as a dental hygienist. The other days are pretty much free. Would love to spend it caring for folks pets. Quite flexible, take your pets needs into consideration. Always diligent, poignant and kind. Animals have such love to give, it’s not in a their nature to hate. That’s why I care deeply for them. Now that I’m on my own, the apartment I live in only allows me to have my pet turtle. He will be 4 years old this upcoming fall. He’s a red eared slider with lots of personality.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Christle! From the moment I met her, I fell in love with her beautiful yard and her sweet dogs — it’s truly a dog paradise. I have a very anxious pup with lots of different triggers, and Christle was amazing at helping me feel at ease. Over the two weeks my dog stayed with her, she sent updates and reassured me that my fur baby was doing great and adapting well — which really speaks to her and her family’s incredible patience and care. I am almost at disbelief with how well my dog was doing in her home! It was so clear that she treated my dog like one of her own — she completely spoiled her in the best way possible! From providing cuddles to sharing her canned food with my dog, it is clear that Christle is passionate about going above and beyond the dogs who come through her home. It was such a relief to know my pup was in such loving hands. I’ll 100% be booking with Christle again — she’s the best! 🐾”
“Patty took such good care of Sadie during Sadie's time with her. Followed Sadie's routine very well, communicated with us many times and I would highly recommend her to anyone else who is considering boarding their dog in the future. This is the beginning of a wonderful dog sitting relationship. (and a shout out to her son, Peter, for bonding with Sadie!) Thanks so such Patty.”
“Maria was amazing!! Our nervous boy was in good hands! Maria was great with our big goofy dog, she gave him the love and attention he needed while we were away. She sent photos and checked in with me often. Definitely highly recommend and will use again! Thanks again Maria!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. We currently have a sweet 9-year-old small dog who has been part of my life since puppyhood. I personally raised and potty-trained her, so I understand the patience, consistency, and care that goes into helping a dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’ve also cared for many of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs over the years. When your dog stays with me, they won’t simply be “boarded”—they’ll be welcomed into a loving home. From the moment they arrive, I’ll treat them like one of my own, with lots of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m dependable, responsible, and will make your dog’s comfort and happiness a priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. As a result, my schedule is quite flexible to meet the needs of you and your fur baby I have a very large yard and a 9 year old gentle, sweet dog. Although I have a large yard, I always keep my dog leashed and I would do the same for yours to ensure safety. My home is on a quiet cul-de-sac in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walks.
“Betsabeth and her pup Bear are absolutely great! Freya has definitely made new friends in them and gets so excited when I drop her off for the weekend-- I know she's being cared for well. Betsabeth is very accommodating and keeps me updated with pictures while I'm away :) I highly recommend her!”
“Eddie was awesome. Gave daily updates with pictures and video. Tucker was well taken care of without issues. And was flexible and kept him another night when plans changed. Will def be using him again”
“Alan & Luis take such good care of Cody while we are away. We get up dated pics and videos every day and feed back on how he is doing. It makes us feel secure that Cody is in good hands while we are away. Plenty of activity and interacting with the other dogs . Clean environment and worry free. From my fur baby to you both... thank you for taking such good care of me. Miss you!!”
“Janelle was amazing with our Jimmy, yet again! I feel so comfortable leaving him at her house with her sweet family. I know that I do not have to worry about him at all. It's a great feeling to have, as a dog owner.”
“This was my initial use via rover.com for any services for Chance. I was 3 thousand miles away and did not have a single worry moment. Patrick and Susan were awesome with my fur bag boy, lol. The pics showed how happy he was, I think I need to plan more getaways knowing I have a wonderful place for Chance to stay-cation!”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“We asked Kristen to sit our dog Louie at her house for a weekend. She was just great with him--and we could see that from when we first met her. Our dog is a rescue so he can be a bit shy at first, but he warmed up immediately to Kristen. She is trustworthy, friendly, responsive and kind. 10/10 would book with Kristen again!”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“Leaf always has a good time at Lauren’s and enjoys playing with her dog Kota. He has stayed there for a dog sitting day and overnights. He comes back tired and happy.”
“Lisa was wonderful and communicative, and helped out in a clutch. She even sent pictures to update us while we were away. Chopper seemed to have a good time too. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: Even though I don't have a lot of certified training, I know how to show my love and affection to each and everyone pets just like I have in the past for my own.

I will treat every one's pet with love, care, respect and patience that they need and treat them as one of my own family members.
