So grateful to Diana for taking such good care of our little princess. This was Peppa's first ever boarding experience as she usually travels with us. Diana is an excellent communicator. I loved the photo and video updates. At pickup her husband even helped carry Peppa's belongings to my car. I will definitely use her again in the future! Highly recommend!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I was raised with pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs ranging from Boxers and German Shepherds to Terrier mixes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have also completed a Leash Reactive Dog Course Certification, which has given me valuable training in understanding and safely handling dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or overstimulated on walks. This helps me provide calm, confident care while prioritizing your dog's safety and comfort. In addition, I have experience caring for cats of many breeds, including Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and both long-haired and short-haired domestic cats. I've cared for cats from playful kittens to senior companions, giving me experience with age specific needs and senior care. Whether your pet is young, energetic, shy, reactive, or in their golden years, I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own family. I currently work from home while my husband grows our family inspection business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of belly rubs. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Recently, I lost my beloved cat after 17 wonderful years. While we're not quite ready to welcome another permanent pet into our family, the universe seemed to have other plans. A wounded stray cat found her way into our driveway and into our hearts. We took her in, got her the care she needed, and are now helping her heal and thrive. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I'd love the opportunity to provide the same love, attention, and dependable care to your pets while you're away. I provide a calm, low-stress home environment where pets receive plenty of individualized attention. Because I work from home, I'm able to give pets lots of supervision, companionship, and engagement throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers relaxing in a quiet setting or needs extra playtime and exercise, I tailor my care to their unique personality and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Linda took care of our GSD Dolly like she was her own. After a very pleasant meet and greet with Linda we felt she would work well with our Dolly. Having her own personal ownership of a large, protective breed, her understanding of them was an asset to be able to work with Dolly, who is loving, and very protective of both her family and friends. Linda was amused by Dolly's protection of their home by ferociously barking at the UPS man making a delivery! lol Linda was more that diligent taking care of Dolly and sending many photos and videos throughout the day. Dolly was obviously happy and content in her care. Thank you Linda and we will definitely be booking with you again! Dolly send kisses to both you and your husband.

She was very excited when I dropped her off and had a wonderful time with them. Truly feel blessed to have found great providers of such wonderful care!

Laurie is amazing. She took care of both my cat's. 1 cat is diabetic and requires insulin. This was a last minute trip and Laurie was able to do the drop in visits for me. She was very reliable. Did everything I asked of her and more! Due to the excessive heat, the water in my pool was getting very low and causing my pump issues. She tried filling my pool up but that would of taken too long during the drop in visit. She tried contacting me but I was unavailable at the time. She was able to get her husband and they turned off the pump. She reached my husband and he advised her to keep the pump off until we were able to return back home from since we were out of state. She took care of my cats very well, cleaned up, feed them and even took out my garbage and recycling since we live in a community that has specific days that this needs to be done. What a blessing she is! If you need a pet sitter, please don't look any further. She is your girl! Thank you so much Laurie!

Jamie agreed to watch our babies after the previous sitter could not accommodate us for our short trip to see our sailor come back into port. She arrived on time, changed her drop-in time on the second day when our plans changed and provided excellent pictures and communication, to include an issue unknown to us, which we’ve been dealing with since returning. She followed our detailed instructions, to the letter and gave medication to our twenty year old princess. We highly recommend her services. Thank you Jamie!

About: I’ve been a cat owner for decades and truly understand feline behavior, routines, and individual personalities. What sets me apart is my calm, patient, cat-focused approach. I respect boundaries, notice subtle changes in behavior, and prioritize low-stress care. In addition to caring for my own cats over the years, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ and family members’ pets while they travel, providing dependable in-home care. I’ve also volunteered with multiple animal rescue organizations, giving me hands-on experience with shy, anxious, senior, and rescue cats who need extra patience and gentle handling. I’m attentive to feeding routines, litter habits, medications when needed, and I provide thoughtful updates so owners feel confident their cats are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I had a 40 pound black lab for 14 years that I loved dearly. She loved walking to the lake everyday and swimming. For a couple of years her sister stayed with me as well. I've drove Amazon for 2 years so I'm use to every dog and use to being in different situations with dogs. Love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've had numerous friends and family have me house sit there dogs and houses over the years. My Mom and my Dad on occasion stay with me with their 2 female dogs. I'll let you know if I have the 2 female dogs when they are staying with me. They love going to the dog park and love being around other dogs and are trained really well. They'll welcome any dog to their little pack. I have an open schedule for pet sitting or dog walking. That allows me to care for the needs of the pets I care for. My flexibility allows me take care of the customers needs and wants for their pet. I own my my own house and have no fenced area. I have no neighbors on either side of my house so I can freely play with the dogs in my backyard. I do have a big cage if needed to cage any dogs. I don't care if dogs are on my furniture. I'm also very close to a dog park if your dog enjoys dog parks.

About: What truly sets me apart is the heart and hands-on experience I bring to every pet I care for. As someone who has raised and loved three dogs of my own, I understand firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — and I don’t take that lightly. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior dogs with special needs. I’ve handled everything from potty training and socialization to administering medications and creating calm routines for older pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, and I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I don’t see this as just a job — I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or just offering companionship, I’m happy to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Pets in my home enjoy plenty of safe space to run and explore in my fenced half-acre yard. I give them lots of attention, exercise, and make sure to follow their individual routines to keep them happy and comfortable.

About: I have 20+ years of experience. I started caring for other people’s pets as well as my own when I was 9 years old. I have experience in basic training, leash walking, interactive playtime, potty schedule, food amount per size, dietary restrictions and medication needs, and bathing. I can accommodate drop offs and pick ups in 30-minute slots from 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. I am a virtual high school teacher with a flexible schedule. I spend most of my days at home, allowing me to provide your 4-legged family member with unlimited supervision, playtime/rest, and potty breaks. My work-from-home schedule is 10:00am-6:30pm. If I were to leave, it would be to the gym. However, I would do my best to plan accordingly so I do not have outside commitments when pet sitting. My goal is to treat your pet as my own, making sure they feel loved and cared for. My home has a fenced yard for the loving furbabies to play. It is also a quiet neighborhood so the walks are relaxing. When pets stay with me they have their own guest room which is also my office so they will be with me all day and night. There are 2 XXL crates (approx. 4’x3’), 2 large, and 1 medium which can be prepped for use if needed or recommended by owner.

About: Why is my price so competitive? I keep my rates lower because inflation has pushed pet‑service costs to levels that no longer make sense for everyday pet owners. Many boarding facilities now charge prices that rival or even exceed the cost of an Airbnb, which I believe is unreasonable. My pricing reflects a commitment to fairness—quality pet lodging shouldn’t break your travel budget. Working remotely allows me to attend to you pets at the highest level with frequent breaks to go outside and stretch, run, and play! I look forward to having a co-worker snoozing next to me. Having a one acre FENCED yard will be your dogs dream. They will always be constantly monitored when they are outside exploring, sniffing and urinating on everything. I live in a low density neighborhood. The traffic is usually 1-2 cars per hour on my street.

About: I have provided reliable, attentive pet care that covers all daily needs, including walking, bathing, feeding, and supervised care. My experience spans working with pets of family members and friends for over 10 years ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved. I focus on creating a calm, cozy environment while maintaining a professional standard of care, so every pet is happy, healthy, and well looked after. Being self-employed gives me a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to care for, play with, and give focused attention to your pet. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I can ensure your furry friend gets the consistent love and interaction they deserve. I have three friendly small dogs and a secure, fenced yard where your pet can play and socialize. I can also safely separate pets if needed.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!

About: As a devoted dog mom, I understand that pets are family. Caring for Molly and Thor every day has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, loving environment where every dog feels comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive personalized care. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in caring hands. I work from home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals on schedule, and lots of love. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their furry family member is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play under supervision. When a new dog arrives, I keep them separated from my own dogs at first so everyone has time to adjust comfortably. If all dogs are relaxed and interactions go well, I gradually introduce them in a safe, supervised way. If a dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to keep them separated throughout their stay. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and every dog is treated with patience, kindness, and love like family.

About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, birds, iguanas, ferrets and a few farm animals too. I was involved in an animal rescue group for several years, fostering many animals who had health issues. I firmly believe that all animals deserve love, shelter, safety, and food. I fall in love with almost every animal I meet! Even chickens! When I'm taking care of an animal, they get a majority of my attention and affection. I do some work from home so it should blend well. I like to meet with the owners and pets a couple of times before to be sure the animals are familiar with me and learn any important information for each pet. I try to follow the owners routine so that the pets are not confused.

About: Hello, call me Neli! I have had my small Shih Tzu, Ellie, for about 9 years now and I have had a previous beagle and basset hound. My mom also owns 3 pitbulls so I am familiar with that type of breed. When it comes to any type of dog, I do my best to take care of them. I have been on Rover for about 5 years now :) I do work a part time job that is only a few hours in the morning mostly, but it is not every day so just message me about availability because most likely I will be free ☺️ I am available most of the time during the week and also weekends!. I am flexible and will do my best to take care of your needs :) I live in a house with a spacious yard in the back, however, it is unfenced. I live with my grandma who absolutely loves dogs as well

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I was raised with pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs ranging from Boxers and German Shepherds to Terrier mixes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have also completed a Leash Reactive Dog Course Certification, which has given me valuable training in understanding and safely handling dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or overstimulated on walks. This helps me provide calm, confident care while prioritizing your dog's safety and comfort. In addition, I have experience caring for cats of many breeds, including Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and both long-haired and short-haired domestic cats. I've cared for cats from playful kittens to senior companions, giving me experience with age specific needs and senior care. Whether your pet is young, energetic, shy, reactive, or in their golden years, I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own family. I currently work from home while my husband grows our family inspection business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of belly rubs. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Recently, I lost my beloved cat after 17 wonderful years. While we're not quite ready to welcome another permanent pet into our family, the universe seemed to have other plans. A wounded stray cat found her way into our driveway and into our hearts. We took her in, got her the care she needed, and are now helping her heal and thrive. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I'd love the opportunity to provide the same love, attention, and dependable care to your pets while you're away. I provide a calm, low-stress home environment where pets receive plenty of individualized attention. Because I work from home, I'm able to give pets lots of supervision, companionship, and engagement throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers relaxing in a quiet setting or needs extra playtime and exercise, I tailor my care to their unique personality and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience caring for pets in every stage of life and with a variety of unique needs. I’ve cared for newborn kittens, expecting mother cats, and senior cats with anxiety, so I understand the patience and individualized attention they require. I also have a special interest in large working breeds and enjoy providing the structure, enrichment, and care they thrive on. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for farm animals. I’m highly attentive, reliable, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Every pet is different, so I take the time to listen to your needs and provide flexible, personalized care to help both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the flexibility to create my own schedule. This allows me to dedicate the time and attention each pet deserves, whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, providing midday visits, or accommodating last-minute requests whenever possible.

I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide the love, attention, and care they deserve.

About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.

I would be more than happy to send picture updates! This is something I know I’d want very much. And I’d treat them as if they were my own baby. Give them time to warm up to me. Sit nearby until they are used to me, and once they are, I'll provide all the pets and snuggles they want! I know playtime is very important in a daily routine, so I’d make sure to play with them using their favorite toys. I am looking forward to meeting any new kitty and dog friends! Just know that I believe in clear communication and will provide updates to ensure that you can be completely comfortable knowing that your pets are safe and happy while you are away.

I will follow all of the pet owners requirements, and additionally keep an eye on any behavior or health changes.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I was raised with pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs ranging from Boxers and German Shepherds to Terrier mixes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have also completed a Leash Reactive Dog Course Certification, which has given me valuable training in understanding and safely handling dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or overstimulated on walks. This helps me provide calm, confident care while prioritizing your dog's safety and comfort. In addition, I have experience caring for cats of many breeds, including Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and both long-haired and short-haired domestic cats. I've cared for cats from playful kittens to senior companions, giving me experience with age specific needs and senior care. Whether your pet is young, energetic, shy, reactive, or in their golden years, I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own family. I currently work from home while my husband grows our family inspection business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of belly rubs. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Recently, I lost my beloved cat after 17 wonderful years. While we're not quite ready to welcome another permanent pet into our family, the universe seemed to have other plans. A wounded stray cat found her way into our driveway and into our hearts. We took her in, got her the care she needed, and are now helping her heal and thrive. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I'd love the opportunity to provide the same love, attention, and dependable care to your pets while you're away. I provide a calm, low-stress home environment where pets receive plenty of individualized attention. Because I work from home, I'm able to give pets lots of supervision, companionship, and engagement throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers relaxing in a quiet setting or needs extra playtime and exercise, I tailor my care to their unique personality and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Linda took care of our GSD Dolly like she was her own. After a very pleasant meet and greet with Linda we felt she would work well with our Dolly. Having her own personal ownership of a large, protective breed, her understanding of them was an asset to be able to work with Dolly, who is loving, and very protective of both her family and friends. Linda was amused by Dolly's protection of their home by ferociously barking at the UPS man making a delivery! lol Linda was more that diligent taking care of Dolly and sending many photos and videos throughout the day. Dolly was obviously happy and content in her care. Thank you Linda and we will definitely be booking with you again! Dolly send kisses to both you and your husband.

Katherine was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. She kept me up to date throughout the day and shared pictures and videos of my girls. She took care of my girls as if they were her own - spoiled and pampered. Katherine was great and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I'll definitely call on Katherine again in the future to take care of my girls.

As always Katie took great care of our dogs while we were away on a cruise. I especially loved that she sent us photos and even dressed them in cute Christmas outfits which made our hearts so happy. It was hard being away from them over Cbristmas but much easier knowing they were in great hands.

Lorraine was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but we got really lucky to have Lorraine. We have a lab with lots of energy and she came home exhausted! Walks, playtime and swimming. She sent pictures and videos everyday which made it so much easier to be away from our baby. We will definitely use Lorraine again and again.

Cesar is the best!!!! Finding someone I trust with my working dogs is no small task, so I don't give recommendations lightly. From the start, Cesar was incredibly accommodating and took the time to understand their routines, expectations, and care requirements. What impressed me most was that he struck the perfect balance between being kind and being consistent. Cesar didn't let them get away with their usual shenanigans, maintained their structure, and clearly understood how to handle dogs that are used to having jobs and boundaries. Throughout their stay, I received plenty of photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how much fun they were having. It was obvious they were getting both mental and physical enrichment, not just being watched. The biggest endorsement I can give is that I picked up two very happy, relaxed, and thoroughly worn-out dogs. They came home content, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time with him. For anyone looking for a sitter who goes beyond basic pet care and truly understands dogs, especially working dogs, I would not hesitate to recommend Cesar.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!

About: As a devoted dog mom, I understand that pets are family. Caring for Molly and Thor every day has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, loving environment where every dog feels comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive personalized care. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in caring hands. I work from home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals on schedule, and lots of love. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their furry family member is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play under supervision. When a new dog arrives, I keep them separated from my own dogs at first so everyone has time to adjust comfortably. If all dogs are relaxed and interactions go well, I gradually introduce them in a safe, supervised way. If a dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to keep them separated throughout their stay. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and every dog is treated with patience, kindness, and love like family.

We had a fantastic experience with Alexus! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire process so easy. We probably overwhelmed her with a bunch of information about our dogs, but she handled everything perfectly. We loved receiving pictures of Webster and Charlotte and felt completely at ease knowing they were well-loved. We are very thankful and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!
