“It was such a pleasure meeting Joseph & family! They took good care of our fur baby and kept us updated with pictures and text throughout his stay. We will def be booking again! ❤️”
“She is/was wonderful. We met her and her husband a few days prior to get them acquainted with our boy and him acquainted with them and their baby. We received updates and pictures multiple times a day. They gave our boy a shower after a hard day of play and were perfectly fine when we came back a day earlier than booked. We will definitely be returning customers and will recommend this couple to anyone.”
“My chihuahua and I haven't been a part in forever. When my family and I went on a one week trip, I knew I had to find the perfect dog sitter. My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”
“Christine was amazing! Accommodated a last minute boarding for my 2 year old pug (Luna) — which was a life saver! She sent frequent updates of her snuggling with Luna, playing with her, and even napping with her. Highly recommend 😊”
“Laura was incredibly kind, accommodating, and understanding to the last minute changes to Buttercup’s stay! Her children were amazing with Buttercup and they spent all weekend cuddling and playing with her :)”
“She took Legend at a last minute request with no issues. She kept me updated with messages and photos. Legend was good with her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.”
“This was our fist time using Rover.com. Our Nessie had a great time with Kristall. In fact I think she was spoiled a wee bit! Will definitely use Kristall & Rover again.”
“Mary was phenomenal to say the least. This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous. She was so kind to share her home with our dog. She showed him constant love and attention and sent regular updates to me. She even sent him home with some extra toys! Selfishly I wish I could keep her on retainer if I could. Lol but I will absolutely rebook for my next trip! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!”
“She was able to take my dog on short notice and took great care of him. She responded quickly to messages and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Thank you!!”
“We got photos of our pup and lots of updates. She also got along with Cassandra’s pup for play time. Cassandra gave her the attention she needed while we were away. Thank you for taking care of our baby”
“Our dog EeVee had a blast while staying with Carole & David for 3 days! She walked Ev, let her enjoy her sun bathing time outside securely, and safely socialized with neighbor pups. Most of all, Carole fed our pup with packed food, countless rubs and love :) She also updated us Ev’s daily photos and great communication. We couldn’t be happier with Carole taking care of our pup. Ev barely goes to boarding but we can tell she loves and trusts Carole. So do we the pawrents! We will for sure go back next time.”
“Meaghan and her family were so great with my small dog. I was uneasy about how he would do around other dogs and she made me feel so comfortable with her video updates. DEF recommend!!!!”
“Therisa was great! This was my first time boarding my little man and she kept me informed the whole time with tests and pictures. She truly loves the dogs she cares for and makes sure they are comfortable and happy.”
“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“When our usual housesitter canceled on us we were really unsure of what to do. We tried everyone we knew to no avail. Then I remembered Rover and we thought we would give it a try. I came across Sanja and was thrilled with her reviews. We made an appointment to meet and she was just what we needed. A real life "Mary Poppins" of dogs. She took great care of our senior girl. The daily pictures and videos were a bonus and we truly had a worry-free vacation knowing Maysa was in such good hands. I would not hesitate to book again and we tell everyone we know to reach out to Sanja if they need her services.”
“Xiomara was amazing!! She is such a sweetheart. I requested a sitter last minute and she came to the rescue. She is professional, communicates well and is prompt with her responses. Being that it was my first time using dog boarding I was hesitant, but was put at ease after meeting Xiomara and her sweet dog. Dog parents, you will not go wrong with her service. Thank you so much for taking care of my puppy!”

“Pam C. did an AMAZING job! We live on a boat and she came to the marina each day and took excellent care of our sweet kitty! She sent great daily updates with pictures and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Pam is super nice as well and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! Thank you, Pam!”
About: Hi! I’m Alisha — a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I’m especially great with pets who need a little extra patience or consistency, and I always aim to create a calm, positive environment for them. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet!
“She’s great with our pets! Professional, caring, very friendly and respectful. I got pictures every time she visited, updates on my pets and any other information going on around the house. Has been THE petsitter I’ve used since downloading the app.”
“This was my first time using the app to book pet boarding for my kittens. I am so excited I found Alexandra. She was amazing and sent lots of wonderful pictures during the boarding.”
“Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She’s my go-to person whenever I need someone I can trust to watch my two cats and ensure that the home is secured while I’m away. She goes above and beyond every time—making sure my cats are not only safe and well-fed, but also happy and loved. I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her care. I couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Stephanie was so good with Nina. She definitely made me feel comfortable leaving her in her hands! She was also very accommodating and understanding.”
“I'm very pleased that Jamalia attends to my cat's needs, like providing Ruby with fresh water and cleaning her litter. She also spends time playing with Ruby before leaving my house. Ruby appears relaxed around her and seems to like her.”
“What a great first experience. i absolutely loved the daily pictures and notes. Even our feral kitties outside and our plants were well taken care of. And so timely each day giving our oldest cat her meds. Will definitely book again when we plan to be away.”
“Sarah is an absolute gem! We had our regular cat sitter cancel at short notice (less than a week before our holiday!). I frantically went on Rover and found Sarah. I chose her because she had glowing reviews, responded promptly and was very warm during our meet and greet. This was our first holiday away from our cat and for over 2 weeks so I was an anxious mess! During our time away Sarah communicated regularly with us and sent photos everyday and videos too. She really helped to calm my nerves. Our cat is anxious and skittish by nature. She is the sweetest cuddliest bug with us but she wasn’t nice to Sarah at all! There was a lot of hissing, growling and swatting. But Sarah was patient, gentle and persistent with our grumpy gremlin. She had great strategies she employed to keep our cat entertained, fed and content. We returned home to an excited, well fed and happy cat. It’s a testament to Sarah’s skills, temperament and love of animals that our cat was totally unfazed being left alone at home for the first time. I will not hesitate to use Sarah again and recommend her to others. She will be a regular sitter for us now & hopefully our cat will be better behaved in future!”

“I was worried my dog would have anxiety and a hard time being boarded in a new environment with loud noises, and unfamiliar people. She hasn’t had much human interaction and barks out of fear. I’m so glad i used Rover and met Joseph, my trip was very relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about Bell and her safety at all. I was in full contact with joseph the entire trip and received photos daily. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have watched multiple neighbors cats. This always consisted of changing litter boxes, feeding them twice a day, playing with them/ keeping them company! They were the sweetest! Also, I am the cat lady of my neighborhood; about 8 cats are surrounding my house at all times. I feed them twice a day and provide water I have 2 indoor cats and 1 dog that I love so much!
“Kiana was absolutely amazing! She took care of our two cats while we were away, and we could not be more pleased. She was incredibly responsible, respectful of our home, and truly wonderful with our cats—who can be a bit slow to warm up to new people. Kiana’s communication was excellent throughout our trip. We received regular updates and so many happy photos of our girls that gave us real peace of mind. When we returned, it was clear that this was the happiest and most well-adjusted our cats have ever been after a trip. We are so grateful for the care and attention she gave and will definitely be booking with Kiana again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Allyson has been such a great sitter for all my fur babies! Wonderful at communicating schedule changes well in advance. I will continue to use her drop in services as a regular :)”
“Michael is my backup who shows up when I need him most. He’s reliable, flexible, and calm, even on last-minute requests. Always professional and kind, exactly who i need watching my baby girl! He’s great, 10 out of 10.”

About: Big Star Pet Care was started in memorial of our best friend of nearly 10 years, a rescue pitbull who was our Biggest Star.

As a wife and wife team, your care will be carried out by either of us or both of us— but you can ensure top quality care regardless of who is providing it. Walks and drop ins before 8am and after 5pm are often attended by Gabrielle, while housesits are generally carried out by Mary due to Gabrielle’s full time position.

We try to be flexible and accept most bookings, including emergency last minute bookings.

We live in a large townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, 3 cats who keep mostly to themselves but may befriend gentler dogs and a 6 month old puppy who is generally well behaved and in training. We have no children or other people living in the home. We can create separated spaces if necessary, while still ensuring your furry friend gets the care and attention they deserve, while in a comfortable space for them. Mary is dog and cat CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. We have experience with animals who have special dietary, medication and medical related needs.
“We needed someone to care for our puppy while we came to town for a funeral and Beverly provided great care! She was very communicative and reassuring as this was our first time using this service!”
“Duchess really seemed to enjoy her stay. Reanaleena made the drop off so easy. Duchess is not accustomed to being in daycare so it was a little scary for her but it seemed to have gone well. I will be using this day care again in the near future.”
“We are so unbelievably grateful for Stephanie. This morning we were dropping our dog off at another persons house for a rover stay over, and it was not a good fit. We had limited time to find a new sitter as we had a wedding to get to. Stephanie responded immediately and took excellent care of our sweet pup. Truly so grateful for her ❤️ thank you for making us feel so comfortable.”

About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large dogs and cats, which helped me become comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I am a responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. My experience growing up with big dogs taught me how to confidently handle larger breeds, while living with and caring for cats has helped me understand the importance of patience and respecting each pet’s unique personality. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 As I work toward my goal of becoming a nail technician, I have the flexibility to provide attentive and dependable pet care. I’ve always loved animals, and pet sitting is a rewarding way for me to spend my time while building my career. I make it a priority to keep pets on their regular routines and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, hosting them overnight in my home, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking them on walks, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. For boarding and overnight stays in my home, pets will have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. My apartment community includes a dog park and a dog washing station, which are great amenities for active dogs. I also have two cats, so any pets staying with me should be comfortable around cats. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the care they deserve.

They are allowed inside and can go outside anytime to potty. If needed, I can crate your dog and we have a puppy room inside the house where they can sleep.
About: Animals truly are a phenomenal blessing and I strive to ensure quality care, safety, and wellness with every animal I encounter! Pet care as if you were there! Family and friends have entrusted me with their pet care since I was 16, during college, and even the military. I have experience with puppies, middle age, and senior dogs as well as small, medium, and large dogs. I’ve house trained as well as taught tricks to four dogs so far. In addition to that, I have experience with healthy dogs as wells as those with medical needs (I.e. drawing and administering the correct prescribed amount of insulin for diabetic dogs). I aim to take care of any and all pet needs whether it’s taking them on a run/walk, going to the beach, preparing meals, or just providing company. All pets are treated with love and respect just like I would my own sweet boy, Bentley. Thank you for your time and have a great day! I currently work full time, however, I’m remote and able to be flexible to provide the best care for your fur family. I’m free in the mornings, midday, and the evening after 5:30pm for feedings, walks/runs, providing company, or taking them out to do an activity. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern! There are multiple rooms in the event your pet likes to wander or prefer a little space to themselves. If they love making friends, then I have a sweet Cockapoo named Bentley who would love to keep them company and share his treats. If your pet requires to be caged at any point during the day, then that can be accommodated. Lastly, I have video surveillance to keep an extra eye on the animals in addition to me being vigilant and attentive.
About: What makes me different from other sitters is the genuine love and care I have for animals. I’ve had pets my entire life, from cats to dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also rescued several lost animals and helped reunite them with their owners, which shows how deeply I care about their safety and well-being. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m home all day and have the time and flexibility to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love throughout the day. Since I’m home often, pets will have plenty of supervision and won’t be left alone for long periods. When you book with me, you can expect a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where your pet will be treated like family. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. Since I’m home all day, pets will have plenty of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, feeding on their normal schedule, and a calm environment where they can relax. I also understand that every pet is different, so I do my best to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their routine as close to normal as possible. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and cared for like family while you’re away.
About: I have always had pets growing up, including birds, tortoises, cats, and dogs, so I am familiar with a wide variety of needs and temperaments. I am responsible, punctual, and committed to following any special instructions your pet may have, whether related to diet, exercise, medication, or daily routines. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, safe, and happy while in my care. :) I look forward to providing top-notch care for your fur, feathered, or scaled baby! Monday – Friday: My wife works full time from home and is able to provide attentive care for your fur baby throughout the day. In the evenings, both of us will be home to give your fur baby all the love, attention, and care they need. Saturday – Sunday: We do not work on weekends, so your fur baby will enjoy fun filled days with plenty of attention and activity. From walks around our neighborhood near the park to playtime in our fenced backyard, we make weekends exciting and engaging for every pup in our care. We have a fenced backyard and one (1) miniature Golden Retriever who can either play with your fur baby or be separated if requested. We are very cautious and will always ensure your fur baby is safe and well cared for. We are the type of family that loves providing daily updates and photos because we understand that leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care can feel intimidating. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and reassured while you’re away.

I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!
About: I have always had pets growing up, including birds, tortoises, cats, and dogs, so I am familiar with a wide variety of needs and temperaments. I am responsible, punctual, and committed to following any special instructions your pet may have, whether related to diet, exercise, medication, or daily routines. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, safe, and happy while in my care. :) I look forward to providing top-notch care for your fur, feathered, or scaled baby! Monday – Friday: My wife works full time from home and is able to provide attentive care for your fur baby throughout the day. In the evenings, both of us will be home to give your fur baby all the love, attention, and care they need. Saturday – Sunday: We do not work on weekends, so your fur baby will enjoy fun filled days with plenty of attention and activity. From walks around our neighborhood near the park to playtime in our fenced backyard, we make weekends exciting and engaging for every pup in our care. We have a fenced backyard and one (1) miniature Golden Retriever who can either play with your fur baby or be separated if requested. We are very cautious and will always ensure your fur baby is safe and well cared for. We are the type of family that loves providing daily updates and photos because we understand that leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care can feel intimidating. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and reassured while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals basically my whole life! Everyone in my family comes to me when they need a pet sitter… It has even extended into helping friends. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I sincerely have a passion for animals and taking care of them. I am consistently dog sitting for my grandmother who has 2 dogs and one of them has a serious condition. So, taking care of her is more involved. It includes giving her medication multiple a days, helping her get up on things and sometimes hand feeding her when she needs a little more help. I’m also experienced in watching senior dogs; I have taken care of my aunts 10 year old Chihuahua on multiple occasions. When it comes to breeds, I have a wide range of experience. I have cared for chihuahuas, “teddy bears” (small dogs), pitt bulls and Rottweilers. My schedule right now is completely free. I would be available all days of the week and weekends. I am available at any time of the day! My pets are very spoiled and cared for. They get treats throughout the day and plenty of outside time! Fresh water and food always! I take my dog on daily walks around the neighborhood and he also goes to visit my grandmother’s dogs often.
About: My family has always had at least 2 dogs at any given time so I feel like I have extensive experience. I currently have 2 dogs of my own who I walk regularly, give medication to when needed and snuggle with (as much as they let me). I have handled dogs with a wide variety of temperaments and sizes so I do not discriminate. I currently have a very flexible schedule so I am available for drop in visits and I can do extended in home visits up to 4 hours daily. I'm a reliable person who loves dogs and understands that everyone has to go to work. I'm unable to bring any additional animals into my home but I am available to come to you. Since I have animals of my own at home I am also unable to do any overnight stays.
About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large dogs and cats, which helped me become comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I am a responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. My experience growing up with big dogs taught me how to confidently handle larger breeds, while living with and caring for cats has helped me understand the importance of patience and respecting each pet’s unique personality. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 As I work toward my goal of becoming a nail technician, I have the flexibility to provide attentive and dependable pet care. I’ve always loved animals, and pet sitting is a rewarding way for me to spend my time while building my career. I make it a priority to keep pets on their regular routines and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, hosting them overnight in my home, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking them on walks, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. For boarding and overnight stays in my home, pets will have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. My apartment community includes a dog park and a dog washing station, which are great amenities for active dogs. I also have two cats, so any pets staying with me should be comfortable around cats. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the care they deserve. I treat every pet like family and strive to make their time with me a positive experience.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with them and can happily accommodate their needs. I’m ready to help out in any way that I can, and my schedule is very flexible! My schedule is extremely flexible, I’m never away from home for more than a couple hours at a time, so your pet will get lots of quality time and attention. I have a fenced yard so your dog will have lots of space to play, but will always be leashed and supervised. There’s also a dog park down the road from me for additional playtime and social time if your pet prefers! The house is already pet-proofed and dogs are welcome on the couch and in the bed.
About: I have never known a world without dogs, and my family has owned at least 2 since the day I was born. I believe it is so important for your dog to get the play time and walks they need for the day! I’m a college student home for the summer and would love to check in on your dog! My availability calendar is up to date! I have two dogs that I adore and walk every day. They don’t play as much in their older age, but love to be loved on.
About: Animals truly are a phenomenal blessing and I strive to ensure quality care, safety, and wellness with every animal I encounter! Pet care as if you were there! Family and friends have entrusted me with their pet care since I was 16, during college, and even the military. I have experience with puppies, middle age, and senior dogs as well as small, medium, and large dogs. I’ve house trained as well as taught tricks to four dogs so far. In addition to that, I have experience with healthy dogs as wells as those with medical needs (I.e. drawing and administering the correct prescribed amount of insulin for diabetic dogs). I aim to take care of any and all pet needs whether it’s taking them on a run/walk, going to the beach, preparing meals, or just providing company. All pets are treated with love and respect just like I would my own sweet boy, Bentley. Thank you for your time and have a great day! I currently work full time, however, I’m remote and able to be flexible to provide the best care for your fur family. I’m free in the mornings, midday, and the evening after 5:30pm for feedings, walks/runs, providing company, or taking them out to do an activity. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern! There are multiple rooms in the event your pet likes to wander or prefer a little space to themselves. If they love making friends, then I have a sweet Cockapoo named Bentley who would love to keep them company and share his treats. If your pet requires to be caged at any point during the day, then that can be accommodated. Lastly, I have video surveillance to keep an extra eye on the animals in addition to me being vigilant and attentive.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. In the past 15 years, I have also had cats, fish, birds, and bunnies. I have worked at a couple local rescues with dogs and cats. I am comfortable taking care of animals with health and behavior issues. I have even worked with wolves! I have an open availability at the moment. I have reliable transportation and am looking for a way to make money while spending time with animals. While I am unable to bring any animals to my house (we already have a zoo of 1 dog and 2 cats), I am able to come to your home and treat your pets/home with the utmost care. I previously worked in the floor cleaning business so I am trained in the best way to handle animal messes/accidents. I love all animals and have worked with many animal personalities while employed at the rescues. From babies to seniors, healthy to sick, shy to overwhelming, I am confident that your pet will be safe in my care.
