“We couldn’t be happier with the care our 4-month-old puppy received! Caring for a young puppy takes extra time and energy, and Vanessa (with assistance from her adorable son) handled everything beautifully — from potty breaks and playtime to keeping our puppy calm, safe, and happy. We received a daily update and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our puppy came home well cared for and happy. We highly recommend!”
“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for Maggie (50-60 Lb German shepherd mix). She has 2 dogs about Maggie’s size that were very friendly and played well with her. She was very accommodating to pickup and drop off times, and made sure to respond to messages quickly. She provided photos and videos throughout the 7 day stay to calm our nerves about our dog, and made sure that our dog felt very at home the whole time. I will absolutely use Lauren for any future dog sitting!”
“Carl and Nancy cared for our dog recently and took great care of him. We got several pictures which was very much appreciated, and he had such a good time. We would not hesitate to call them again (actually, we already have!). Thank you Carl and Nancy for your caring and kind attention to our Mickey!”
“Marie is incredible! She sent so many great pictures and videos of my girls having a great time. She followed feeding and medication instructions properly and provided updates every day. My girls had a BLAST!”
“I’m very happy with the care my dogs received — everything was taken care of, and they were happy and relaxed when I got back. Communication was great, and I truly appreciated the thoughtful and attentive approach. IHighly recommend!””
“Fahriye and her husband took such amazing care of Rocky. he looked so happy and relaxed during his entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. they were both so kind and gentle with him, and he came home looking so handsome after his groom. i would absolutely trust them with Rocky again. thank you both so much! ❤️”
“Tracy was great with our mini Dashhound twins! Took the Xmas task on short notice and kept them very well. She specializes in small breeds and gives them lots of TLC. Tracy runs a boutique puppy care. Personalized attention to your pets. Thank You Tracy!”
“Our dog Ribeye stayed with Emiliano and Valeria for the first time and he had the best time! It truly felt like a home away from home. We loved getting daily updates and seeing how relaxed and happy he was. It’s such a relief to travel knowing your dog is in great hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Percy Jose loves to stay with Al, his Beautiful wife Steph and the Boys. Im so grateful that I have found a safe and happy place for my baby while I am away traveling for work.”
“Sarahi and Leandro were wonderful with Wilhelmina! It was her first overnight stay with new sitters, so she was understandably nervous at first, but their patience and kindness helped her settle in quickly. We appreciated the updates and would absolutely trust them with Wilhelmina again. Thank you both! 🐾💕”
“April took care of our dog Bimmer during the holidays and updated us with photos throughout her stay. Bimmer seemed like she had fun and I’m glad she had some playmates as well. Thank you for caring for her while we’re away. Will definitely recommend you to friends and request you next time!”
“Carl and Linda were absolutely wonderful pet sitters! They took exceptional care of my dog, Ginger, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. One thing I especially appreciated was that they only care for one dog at a time, so I knew Ginger was getting their full attention in a calm, stress-free environment. They sent regular updates and photos throughout my trip, which meant so much to me and reassured me that Ginger was happy, comfortable, and being well loved. It was obvious they genuinely cared for her and treated her like one of their own. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Carl and Linda to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Ginger!”
“Josmar took great care of our dog, Buddy, and overall everything went very well. We truly appreciate the care she provided and would gladly give her five stars. One suggestion for the future would be to proactively send photos and brief updates starting from the first day, even if the owner does not specifically ask. Leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful, and regular communication provides a lot of reassurance. Having to repeatedly ask for photos or updates can sometimes feel uncomfortable, so taking the initiative would make the experience even better and help her continue receiving excellent reviews. Other than that, we were very happy with Buddy’s care and appreciate everything Josmar did for him.”
“Ingrid was amazing with our dog, Morty! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and made sure he was comfortable and happy the whole time. She was very attentive to his needs even giving him his ear meds which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Morty had a wonderful time with her, and we’ll definitely be booking with Ingrid again!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Dee! From the very beginning, Dee was professional, caring, and attentive to Denver’s needs. She provided regular updates, including pictures and videos of Denver playing with his new friends, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Denver was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with Dee. It’s clear that Dee truly loves animals. I highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. Thank you again Dee for a wonderful first time experience using Rover and for your amazing care for my pup! 😊”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our dog, Hercules! She watched him for 10 days and gave us total peace of mind the entire time. Every single day she sent pictures along with updates on how he was doing, which we really appreciated. Her kids were so sweet and helpful, and Hercules got along with them so well. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would definitely use her again!”

About: I’m taken care of a few different cats in my years of experience. During my time in a vet assisting program I got the opportunity to learn all about their behaviors, how to respond and how to make them feel their most comfortable.

“I will definitely re-book with Shay! She was great with my pets and took lots of cute pictures. She even brought in some chewy boxes that were delivered. I highly recommend!”
“As the mom of two shy and sometimes skittish cats, I hesitated to introduce a new pet sitter. However, after a recommendation from a friend, I contacted Caroline. She set up a meet and greet and spent extra time with the cats to insure they were comfortable with her. She proved to be a trustworthy and reliable sitter and I would not hesitate to use her services again or to recommend her to other cat parents. Thank you Caroline for your excellent care and regular and detailed updates with lots of pictures!”
“AMAZING!! It was my first time using Rover due to an emergency housing situation, I was so lucky to have found him! Super quick and responsive and took care of my sweet boy so well with so many updates! He was so kind and attentive to my cat, truly an amazing person! He followed everything to a T, would definitely hire again ❤️❤️”
“My wife and I used Rover for the first time and booked Aspyn. I can say with full confidence that Aspyn went above and beyond to take care of our dogs. She kept us updated on her arrival and shared daily photos to let us know how they were doing. Great communication and respect of our home. Highly recommend Aspyn to take care your animals!”
“I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter! She takes the time to truly understand my neurotic pup’s quirks, giving him all the love, cuddles, and patience he needs while keeping me updated with tons of adorable pictures. Knowing he’s in such caring and capable hands gives me complete peace of mind every time I’m away!”
“Shirel is super dependable and great with my boys! She communicates any changes and is great at following up with anything needed! I receive daily reports and photos of my boys and that eases my mind knowing they were taken care of. Highly recommend her :)”

“I had booked Jennifer to walk my dog Daisy, twice a day for 5 days. On the first day, Daisy wouldn't come near her. She then spent the whole time coaxing her and on the second day she was able to put the leash around her. She is very gentle and a sweetheart. Little did she knew I was watching her on camera ? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER”

About: I love dogs more than I love actual people. About 3 years ago I started working at a doggy daycare and I had the best experience. Apart from that I've had dogs since I was born. I know how to give professional baths and some types of haircuts. I used to train dogs but I haven't had much experience. I take care of my own pets all day. When I move I won't have a job so if I need to stay with your dog all day I can accommodate that I have a lot of experience handling all types of dogs including reactive. So I can change the way I work to give your dog what they need
About: I've been living in a pet-filled household since I was born. I've seen 3 puppies grow into seniors, and I'm currently living in a 3 pet household: senior black lab, baby doodle, and a bossy tuxedo cat. I've learned the work of taking care of a pet since I was little, but more so in the last several years I've really taken on a lot more responsibility. I love caring for pets and learning their own unique habits and personalities. I'm currently a full-time college student and looking to use this as a way to make some money while in college. I have a car and no problem with transportation, my schedule varies but I'm almost always available to take care of any pets. In my own home, we have a big backyard as well as a fenced in patio if the pets want to sit outside. They have their own crates and food bowls as well, although sometimes they sneak into the crate together. I'm someone who follows directions to a T, and if I don't understand something I will always clarify.

About: Dog Care Experience I have been caring for dogs professionally for over five years, but my experience goes back even further—I started dog walking at 11, turning my passion for animals into a responsibility I take seriously. Through pet sitting and dog walking, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize their individual needs, whether that means providing high-energy playtime, gentle walks for senior dogs, or extra patience with shy or reactive pups. My experience includes: • Daily Walks & Exercise: Ensuring dogs get the right amount of physical activity to keep them happy and healthy. • Feeding & Medication Administration: Following specific dietary needs and schedules, including giving oral medications when required. • Behavior & Training Reinforcement: Using positive reinforcement to encourage good manners and maintain consistency in training. • Comfort & Companionship: Providing plenty of affection and engagement to keep dogs relaxed and content while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Since I’ve been around animals for most of my life, I’ve developed a schedule that ensures they receive the attention and care they need. • Daily: I set aside time for feeding, walks, playtime, and any necessary medication administration. Whether it’s a morning dog walk, checking in on a pet sitting client, or spending time socializing rescue cats, I make sure every pet gets the care they deserve. • Weekly: I balance multiple pet care responsibilities, including scheduled pet sitting visits, dog walks, and volunteer work with Catapolooza. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate both short-term and long-term care needs, ensuring that pets remain comfortable and stress-free in their environments. No matter the schedule, I prioritize reliability, consistency, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Safety, Trust & Environment Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priorities are their safety, comfort, and well-being. • Building Trust: I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, and routine to ensure a stress-free experience. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, and use positive reinforcement to build trust. • Safe Environment: In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely, keeping pets on their regular schedule and ensuring their space remains secure and hazard-free. I check doors, gates, and leashes for safety, and I’m mindful of potential household dangers like toxic plants or small objects. • Comfort & Well-being: I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship to keep pets happy and engaged. Whether it’s a relaxing cuddle session with a cat, a stimulating walk for a dog, or following special feeding instructions, I prioritize their needs. • Emergency Preparedness: I stay alert for any signs of illness or distress and am prepared to follow emergency protocols if needed. I ensure I have vet contact information and know the nearest emergency clinic for each pet I care for. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing them with the love, patience, and care they deserve.

I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, birds, turtles, hedgehogs, aquatic frogs, and even Bengal Tigers! I am available 24/7 for your pets. I understand that everybody has a different schedule and it’s important to keep things routine and on time while caring for your babies.

I realize animals are sensitive, so keeping them safe in their own environment is crucial!
About: I offer dependable dog care focused on walks and drop-in visits, and I take the time to get to know each dog and their routine.

I offer walks and drop-in visits around my work schedule, mainly mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, as well as weekends. Because I do this part time, I keep my availability realistic and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. This allows me to be punctual, unhurried, and fully present during each visit rather than rushing between appointments. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a consistent schedule, whether that’s regular weekly walks or occasional drop-ins. I also understand that plans can change, and I do my best to be flexible when possible. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on safety, consistency, and following your instructions exactly. Before each visit, I review feeding, walking, and care details so nothing is missed. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses as provided and stay aware of surroundings, weather, and your dog’s comfort level. I adjust pace and distance based on age, energy, and health. In your home, I’m mindful of routines and boundaries. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are refreshed, and your dog has calm, positive interaction. I keep visits unhurried so your pet feels relaxed and cared for, not rushed. I also pay close attention to behavior and well-being. If I notice anything unusual — changes in appetite, energy, or mood — I communicate promptly. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal is simple: your pet feels secure, and you feel confident trusting me with your home and your dog.

About: NEW TO ROVER SPECIALS OFFERED! -Great value and pricing for dog walking and house visits/stays offered for a limited time I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I grew up in a multi-dog household and have cared for dogs both personally and for others throughout my life. My first dog was a diabetic Labrador, so I’m very comfortable administering medications, including injections, and caring for senior or special-needs dogs. I currently have a friendly, well-trained female German Shepherd who completed a K-9 obedience course as a puppy, giving me strong experience handling and training large dogs. I’ve also cared for smaller breeds, including Shih Tzus, Pomsky, Spaniels, etc. I have full availability and reliable transportation. I enjoy long walks, outdoor time, and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and enrichment they need. Whether your pup prefers playtime, walks, or calm companionship, I tailor care to their individual needs. Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, and dependable care while you’re away. I follow all instructions closely and always go the extra mile to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and wide availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings as well as recurring visits.

I prioritize safety, routines, and comfort, and I’m experienced with administering medications, senior dogs, and special-needs care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kevin is so sweet, calm and accommodating. I have a very energetic standard poodle that tends to get over excited on walk but with Kevin she's so chill and is able to get her wiggles out with out acting crazy. We will definitely keep using Kevin whenever he's available!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats.

I’ve also cared for kittens multiple times and understand how much supervision and gentle care they require. I’ve experienced caring for a dog with cancer as well, so I’m comfortable being attentive to pets with illnesses or special needs.

In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific routines. I always make sure doors and gates are secure and that pets are never left in an unsafe situation. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while their owner is away.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our 4-month-old puppy received! Caring for a young puppy takes extra time and energy, and Vanessa (with assistance from her adorable son) handled everything beautifully — from potty breaks and playtime to keeping our puppy calm, safe, and happy. We received a daily update and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our puppy came home well cared for and happy. We highly recommend!”
“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for Maggie (50-60 Lb German shepherd mix). She has 2 dogs about Maggie’s size that were very friendly and played well with her. She was very accommodating to pickup and drop off times, and made sure to respond to messages quickly. She provided photos and videos throughout the 7 day stay to calm our nerves about our dog, and made sure that our dog felt very at home the whole time. I will absolutely use Lauren for any future dog sitting!”
“Marie is incredible! She sent so many great pictures and videos of my girls having a great time. She followed feeding and medication instructions properly and provided updates every day. My girls had a BLAST!”
“I’m very happy with the care my dogs received — everything was taken care of, and they were happy and relaxed when I got back. Communication was great, and I truly appreciated the thoughtful and attentive approach. IHighly recommend!””
“Fahriye and her husband took such amazing care of Rocky. he looked so happy and relaxed during his entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. they were both so kind and gentle with him, and he came home looking so handsome after his groom. i would absolutely trust them with Rocky again. thank you both so much! ❤️”
“April took care of our dog Bimmer during the holidays and updated us with photos throughout her stay. Bimmer seemed like she had fun and I’m glad she had some playmates as well. Thank you for caring for her while we’re away. Will definitely recommend you to friends and request you next time!”
“Josmar took great care of our dog, Buddy, and overall everything went very well. We truly appreciate the care she provided and would gladly give her five stars. One suggestion for the future would be to proactively send photos and brief updates starting from the first day, even if the owner does not specifically ask. Leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful, and regular communication provides a lot of reassurance. Having to repeatedly ask for photos or updates can sometimes feel uncomfortable, so taking the initiative would make the experience even better and help her continue receiving excellent reviews. Other than that, we were very happy with Buddy’s care and appreciate everything Josmar did for him.”
“Ingrid was amazing with our dog, Morty! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and made sure he was comfortable and happy the whole time. She was very attentive to his needs even giving him his ear meds which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Morty had a wonderful time with her, and we’ll definitely be booking with Ingrid again!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Dee! From the very beginning, Dee was professional, caring, and attentive to Denver’s needs. She provided regular updates, including pictures and videos of Denver playing with his new friends, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Denver was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with Dee. It’s clear that Dee truly loves animals. I highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. Thank you again Dee for a wonderful first time experience using Rover and for your amazing care for my pup! 😊”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our dog, Hercules! She watched him for 10 days and gave us total peace of mind the entire time. Every single day she sent pictures along with updates on how he was doing, which we really appreciated. Her kids were so sweet and helpful, and Hercules got along with them so well. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would definitely use her again!”
“With very short notice, Katrina was extremely flexible and accommodating. She has an amazing set up for dogs of any personality or size. Her extensive experience made both my wife and I very comfortable in knowing our dog (boxer, hound, pit mix) would be taken care of. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Katrina and will be utilizing her services on a regular basis in the near future.”
“Mindy was amazing, Archie had an amazing time with her daughters and pups. There is a great backyard; and its one of the best places Archie ever stayed where I suppose he had lot of fun. He was happy & very healthy after we got him back home :) I think I finally found a second home for Archie whenever we are out on work or vacation!! ? Thank you Mindy!”
“Lady E's care was excellent; they always kept me informed about how she was doing, sending me videos and photos. When I went to pick her up, she looked happy and well cared for. I'm happy because my dog was happy.A+++++++***+++++++++They deserve 1000000 stars.”
“Joanna did such an incredible job watching my dogs while I went on vacation for a week. I am sure my dogs did not want to come back home! They were so loved and spoiled. I will definitely be coming back in the future!”
“Ripley made himself quite to home with Javier and Milagros! They took great care of him. They are both super loving and sent plenty of pictures!! I highly recommend them!”
“Erika was great. My hyper dog Penelope loved her and the 2 dogs she was watching that day. They played outside for hours and she came home tired! Best part was that Erika took Penelope last minute! We had a change of plans and needed a sitter for the following day and Erika was great about it. We will be back a few more times over the next 3 months while we’re in Florida!”
