“I cannot recommend Kyli highly enough! She recently cared for my two dogs and went above and beyond in every aspect of her service. She was incredibly accommodating to my last-minute schedule changes, which I truly appreciated. Kyli kept me updated throughout their stay with regular messages and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Her communication was outstanding—she responded to every text message almost immediately, making it easy to stay connected and reassured. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy under her supervision. Kyli’s professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Joanne was great. I know my dogs loved her. She sent me videos of them and they just looked happy and she was petting them and loving on them so I felt really at ease. I was scared to leave them because 13 years I have never left them with anybody she’s the first one that they’ve ever been with without me and I felt really good about it when I picked them up. Thank you, Joann.”
“When I tell your that Shelisha made me feel ao comfortable and reassured about my fur babies , she did just that. I was so nervous because I’ve never had my babies shave a sitter but she did her thing. Sent updates,photos, text messages videos. My babies were so happy with her & I love this for them. She is an awesome sitter. Did so well that I didn’t text so much and only one drop in visit . Your fur baboes will be in Great hands with her.”
“Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!”
“My Dante loves Summer and her son. I was worried he would act funny after picking him up from their home but he was like I never left. Thank you Summer! Dante is my Baby and to know he was well cared gave me all the peace of mind I could have during my time away. I would have them take care of Dante again with no doubt. ❤️”

“EXCELLENT LOVING CARE!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! My 17 year old, special needs, completely blind, silky mix dog, Paisley, who also has dementia, stayed with Ms Annette for 8 days while we were on vacation. We were able to bring Paisley to meet Ms Annette prior to boarding her. Things could not have gone better. Ms. Annette was patient, kind, caring, and gave Paisley time to come to her and be comfortable. Her home was spotless as was the separate grooming / boarding area. Dogs have use of / access to both the boarding and home areas, as well as a spacious, outdoor, shady, grassy backyard area to play. Ms Annette even allows dogs on her couch. Because of her age and special needs status, it became impossible to leave Paisley at a typical kennel as they were unable to provide the specialized care and attention she needed. Ms. Annette was able to provide the specialized care needed, provided a lot of love and belly rubs, and even taught Paisley to use her doggy door!! She kept Paisley under her usual home routine which resulted in a smooth transition home. When going to pick her up, Ms Annette greeted me with Paisley in her arms. Paisley was clean, as were her doggy blanket and bed. During her stay, Ms Annette sent daily updates, photos, and videos, confirming Paisley was adjusting well, had made new friends. Ms Annette is 100% recommended. Great care! Lots of love!! Communicative! Board your pet worry free knowing they’ll be very well cared for with Ms. Annette!”
“What a blessing. Christians love of animals shines brightly. His attention to detail and excellent communication is unmatched. I have never met a care giver more dedicated to the joy, health, and well being of another left in their care. ⭐”
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”
“Heather and her family were so welcoming with Oscar. The pics and videos she shared showed the true joy of not only watching him but the joy he had while he visited their home. Thank you for taking care of our baby”
“Angela and Jorge were so good with our poodle Bailey! They made us feel comfortable in their home and Bailey to feel welcome. The communication was superb and we felt she was well cared-for and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Amazing care taker. My dog had a fantastic time with her family. She also went above and beyond to help ne with a certain difficult situation. I would 100% recommend her and her family.”
“Cherisse was amazing with my little guy Sampson. It was our first time leaving him with anyone. He is almost 13 years old and doesn't like eating his food anyplace but home. She was able to make him feel comfortable and safe that he ate. I can't even get him to eat outside, so I'm grateful to her for taking care of him. He has always had a hard time trusting because he has been attacked by other dogs. She sent me a lot of pictures so I would able to know he was happy and doing great.”
“Buddy loves Maya and Kevin! They take such good care of our furry boy when we travel. We can’t recommend them enough! They are absolutely excellent, kind, understanding and communicative. You will be so happy you chose them!”

“Ruth is beyond amazing! She is absolutely a pleasure to work with, reliable, commited, and just a lovely sitter in general. She's great at communicating as well! We have booked with Ruth on multiple occasions and she is our go to, when we need our kitty to be sitted. She ensures to get everything right and has developed a great relationship with our cat, neither he nor we have ever been disappointed with her! She's the best :)”
“Elizabeth far exceeded our expectations. Bandit can be a bit of a challenge. She gave us updates after each visit and pictures. If we need a pet sitter in the future, would definitely reach out to her again.”
“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”
“We have had Amber watch our kitties multiple times since moving to the area. She does a great job with them and takes good care of our apartment while we are away. We are so grateful to leave our kitties (and our home) in the care of someone so compassionate and trustworthy. We highly recommend her!”
“Excellent sitter! Helped clean and care for my two kitties who are scardy cats! She was available for a last minute booking when my schedule changed. Thank you Kylee!”
“Phenomenal! Yan has become my cats' new best friend~ ✨ I'm always sent such detailed notes every day about how they fared alongside the cutest photos. Very heartwarming, and always reduces my stress about leaving my furbabies behind. When I book with Yan, I know my kitties are in the best hands!”
“I highly recommend Ashlei as a pet sitter. The problem with Rover is most of the pet sitters have strong experience with dogs and not cats. Most profiles show pictures with pet sitters interacting with dogs. Ashlei has good experience with both dogs AND cats. I have 2 indoor/outdoor cats and taking care of them requires someone that understand their tricky behaviors. Ashlei helped tremendously with her knowledge and experience with cats. Ashlei is very responsive and flexible with her schedule. There are occasions when last-minute adjustments are required to my booking and Ashlei is always understanding and adapts her schedule to these changes. During the week of Christmas, my cats were having issues with their stool and weren’t eating and Ashlei spent extra time with them to make sure they were doing better. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ashlei is reliable, does everything in her power to help, and truly cares about the pets under her care. On the Rover cards, Ashlei is descriptive about her session experience and includes pictures during her visit. I remember looking forward to reading the session cards because they provide evidence that my pets are in good hands. I can enjoy my vacation or travel plans because Ashlei is there to do an amazing job.”
“Karla was amazing at taking care of our cat while we were out of town. She did everything we asked of her and I could tell my kitty loved her too! Very communicative and punctual”

“Al is the best! We were so happy with how he took care of our shy cat, Yuri. He kept us informed and was especially helpful when our AC went out. We literally had no worries about Yuri while we are out of town! We will definitely be using him in the future!”
“Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!”

About: As a dog sitter, I pride myself on providing the most caring and loving environment for your furry companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cherished in your absence. Whether it's playful walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply offering a watchful eye, I prioritize their happiness and comfort. With personalized attention and a deep understanding of canine needs, I do attempt to house train with the time I have with every furry friend I receive, giving you peace of mind knowing your dog is in the best hands. I am a college student, getting my degree in digital design. Due to myself being an art major I have more time than other students and will be able to devote more time to my passion and that’s working and caring for animals. I live in a gated apartment complex, therefore yard wise is open but limited. My apartment has more than enough space to play, sleep, and simply enjoy the presence of every furry friend.

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me.

Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.
“Ruth does an excellent job caring for my puppies! She is prompt in response to any communication about their visits or changes in my work schedule, adjusts her schedule when possible to take them out earlier or later, and is easy to communicate with. She’s been overly helpful today especially when I forgot to put the lock box on my door on the way out and had a full schedule at work, she even stopped by to get the key where otherwise my puppies would have been stuck with no potty or exercise breaks for hours. These two are full of energy so I know they appreciated the extra play time they got together today also! We are very grateful for Ruth and her excellent dog walking services.”
“Mariah did a great job taking care of my dog! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and well taken care of. Communication was easy, and I always felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have three sweet, friendly dogs of my own, and I truly treat them like my children. In my home, dogs are family—they’re welcome on the furniture, can sleep in the bed if that’s what they’re used to, and get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. We have a large yard where the dogs love to run and play, and they’re just as happy relaxing inside together. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pup is being cared for just like one of my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life because I have three dogs of my own. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, and both my significant other and I work just five minutes from home, so the dogs are never left alone for long. My daily routine revolves around feeding, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention, so welcoming another dog into our home fits in naturally. I make it a priority to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have a dedicated dog room, as well as kennels available if a dog needs their own space for meals, rest, or if separation is preferred. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, so you can feel confident that your dog will be in a safe environment. Whether your pup loves to play or simply relax, they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care in a secure, welcoming home.

I’ve been around both dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for them for family and friends. I currently have a puppy that I’ve raised since she was just 8 weeks old, so I understand the time, consistency, and attention young dogs need.

I have a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. Since I already care for my own puppy every day, I’m used to planning my schedule around a pet’s needs and making sure they receive consistent care. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to following each pet’s routine so they stay happy and comfortable while their owner is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any special routines their pet is used to. I also keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and healthy. My goal is to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.

I also communicate regularly with the owner through updates and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I’ve walked dogs around my neighborhood for the past four years. I have lots of experience with animals— I personally have many different animals such as dogs, cats, and others! I’ve had experience in the veterinary field and want to pursue the veterinary field and become a licensed veterinarian! I am free for whenever is needed! I am hoping to head over to college soon but in the mean time work up some cash! I have been walking dogs around my own neighborhood around four years now. I treat the animals week, in which they are safe and happy!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, chickens and ducks since I was a kid! I love all animals and am open to requests for most animals and most levels of care. I work at a pet boarding/daycare facility currently and as a school psychologist, volunteer rescuing manatees, and volunteer at animal shelters in my free time! I have experience with all sizes of animals, medications, special needs, etc. and am open to most requests. I will always take care of your pets and love them like my own! :)<3 I’m a school psychologist and have summer break free! that means june thru beginning of july i will be available at all times to care for your pets :) of course i still take caution with the hot weather and make sure to only take walks when it’s cool enough for the pups feet I utilize sidewalks when able and try to find shady areas for play so they don’t overheat, avoid other people/dogs when I can to ensure safety of everyone, and make sure to follow all directions/read all info about your pets before caring so I know exactly what to expect. I take time to let all pets get comfy with me and bond and am happy to take your pet somewhere safer to play or walk if you’d like!
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.

About: I have owned dogs since was 9/10 years-old, and enjoy playing with dogs and love keeping them occupied espically puppies. For puppies, I like to help potty-train them by offering treats to understand that "outside is where we use the bathroom not inside". I also pay really close attention to due to possible getting into things. I watch out for things that could possibly hurt your dog. As a dog owener myself I will treat your dog as if it was my own dog at home, giving all the attention and play time there hearts desire. I’m currently not working so I am available during select times. I also know what it is like to need a caregiver for your pets while you are away on a business trip or just a quick get away from reality. I live in an apartment complex where everyone keeps to themselves but as for any home I would treat it as if it were my home and how I would want to make sure things are in the right place
“Micah is always so helpful when we are out of town. She takes our sweet pup on daily walks and send lots of pictures. She always responds quickly and often on short notice. She really does make our life easier and makes being away less stressful knowing that our pup is in great hands!”
