“I needed a last minute dog sitter and she was available. She was great. She sent me picture's and videos of my dog playing. She had her in her own room instead of her cage. She played with other dogs. My 7 month old puppy is high energy. If you need someone local try Stephanie. I gave her 5 stars because thats all i could giver her on this app but if i could give her a 10 I would.”
“Katie is amazing! We had to leave town for the weekend so we needed to find good care for our energetic Hank. I stumbled upon rover and found Katie, so I decided to message her right away, she responded within minutes! And that same conversation led us to our meet and greet the next day. When we got to the meet and greet, we were welcomed by Katie and her family, she has two older dogs and she created a safe place for Hank to meet her dogs individually first. All the dogs got along really well and we know that Hank was comfortable and happy to stay with Katie when we had to leave. During the stay with Katie, she was very good at communicating with me throughout the trip, and from the picture she sent us we know that Hank was having a great time. Katie is wonderful and if we ever have to look for care for hing, we will definitely come back to her!”
“Nola and Rick are just wonderful with Maxx! He is comfortable and happy staying with them and their pups!!! I feel at ease when I leave Maxx with them, their yard and home is set up perfectly for all the pups!!!”
“Did so good with my dog, sent updates, and loving towards her. Elisa has a great big backyard and followed instructions with my dog. Elisa was very personable with us and so kind. Exactly what my dog needed. I would leave my dog there with her again.”
“Exceptional!! They took such wonderful care of our fur baby while we were out of town. We always get a little nervous leaving Winnie, but Linda and her husband made us feel at ease. They sent so many pictures and updates throughout Winnie's stay. We will definitely book with Linda again!”
“Sarah and her family were great! She’s obviously an animal lover and our puppy fit right in. She sent pictures and updates daily! We were very pleased with her care for our little girl! We would recommend her to everyone! Thank you for everything, Sarah!”
“Heidi is the best !!! We had an emergency and she worked with me when we had to change our flights from Tuesday to Monday. She sends pictures and updates daily and Lucy loves her !!!! We will definitely be back or should I say Lucy will !!!!”
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.
“Our 2 Havanese loved their time with Erica and her family! The felt very comfortable and at home with Erica! Erica kept in contact with us and shared pictures of our ‘kids’ during their overnight visit! We will be returning!”
“Hugh watched my little lotus for two nights and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him for the first time. Very thankful for Hughs love of dogs and opening his home. I will definitely be bringing Lotus back!”
“Diana and her Family did excellent taking care of my two dogs for one week. She allways sent us videos and messages. We saw our dogs happy and having a good time in Diana's house. Great fenced yard, we recommend Diana 100 %.”
“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.”
“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.”
“HAPPY Dog… - Happy Dog Daddy!!! If my dog is happy…- I’m happy! She cares for your dogs as if they are her own! She’s kind, personable, and loves caring for dogs! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her service again! Thank you for taking such great care of my dog! ❤️”

“This is the 2nd time Sophia has watched my cat while I was away on a trip and she is phenomenal. She sends lots of pictures and specific updates. When I come home I can always tell my cat has been well cared for! I highly recommend booking her for your pet care needs 😊”
“Katie is a marvelous pet sitter. She's diligent, caring and highly skilled. She expertly handled medicating one of our cats each day, gave us personalized communications along with photos regarding how each of our cats was doing and loved them up with brushing and rubs on each visit. I can't imagine a better pet sitter.”
“Corey was phenomenal with our cats! Provided excellent pictures and care and even went above and beyond when we were concerned for one of our cats who tends to hide all the time. Cannot recommend him enough and now we feel comfortable being able to leave our animals knowing that he’s caring for them. We will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Samantha was incredible with taking care of our new kitten while we were on vacation. Our flight was delayed twice and she was very flexible with adjusting the pick up times. During our vacation we received daily notes with pictures of Gracie which really was nice. We will definitely utilize Samantha’s services again!”
About: I’ve had cats in the past and cared for them deeply as part of my home, including a rescue cat who was incredibly sweet and affectionate—we loved him very much and he was truly part of our family. Currently, I care for a stray cat named Whiskers, making sure he is fed, safe, and comfortable every day. This has given me experience with independent and outdoor cats, as well as understanding their behavior and needs. Living in Florida, I’ve also experienced emergency situations like hurricanes with pets, so I take safety and preparedness very seriously. Your cat’s well-being, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. What sets me apart is the level of attention and genuine care I give. I don’t just stop by—I take time to observe how each cat is doing, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for.
“I have 2 cats name Ella and Kate Spade. Taylor was wonderful. She sent me pictures everyday and reported their activities. She dropped in everyday for 2 1/2 weeks without a single problem. Definitely will use her again on my next trip.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I work at a dog boarding kennel currently and have worked at the animal shelter where I cared for all of the strays and helped them try to find new homes and reunited lost pets with their families! I don’t feel a family is complete without a pet as I have always had one (or more)! They are family 💖 I work at a boarding kennel part time and am able to care for pets mornings before work for potty break and evenings after work for potty breaks and play time. Morning potty breaks and evening potty breaks and play time on my days off I ask for owners to have written instructions for the specific care for each pet so that I may make sure their pet/pets are taken care of as if their owners had never left! Routine is a big deal for pets and owners!
“Thank you for taking care of my 2 fur babies! I love the pics you sent! I will definitely book again when in need your great service! Nisha I appreciated the peace of mind that I had knowing you were taking care of them!”
About: I've been friends with cats all my life. I even once rescued a pregnant momma cat when I was a child. afaid the shelters would terminate all of them I hide her and her babies in my closet for three months. Because of this, even the shyest of cats seek out my affection.
“Sam was so kind. She took good care of our kitten Smokey! She gave her lots of attention. She would send us pictures daily of Smokey. We felt very confident in her abilities. Thank you!”
About: What can I say, I didn't choose the cat dad life. The cat dad life chose me. I have about 4 years of experience with cats, and we recently just adopted our own. She chose us, and she's is the perfect fit. I'm confident your cats will too when you are away. I will treat them like my own with lots of playful activities and churrus. You can count on me for the purrfect cat care!
About: I have taken care of cats since was 13 watching my neighbors cats, taking care of strays and even my own, I currently have 1 cat who is extremely friendly but I can make accommodations to separate the kitties at your request.

“Katie is amazing!! She's clearly knows what she's doing and cares a lot about every dog that comes through her front door. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My pet comes home happy and well cared for. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Sarah is the greatest sitter, she takes dogs into her home and treats them as her own! She has a fenced in yard so my dog can safely play in her backyard with her 2 dogs. I have used her a few times and have always been satisfied !”
About: Hi, I’m Taylor, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs! I offer boarding, walking, and house-sitting, and specialize in everything from puppy energy to senior snuggles. I’ve worked with repeat clients over the years and am comfortable handling structured routines, medication schedules, and special dietary needs. My late senior dog Jake, who passed in July 2021, taught me just how rewarding it is to give older pets the comfort and compassion they deserve. On the flip side, I’ve also fostered plenty of puppies, and currently have a 5 month old pup of my own named Spur! I know how important it is to keep them active, consistent, and safe as they grow. Cats are a big part of my care experience too – I’ve bottle-fed kittens and cared for elderly cats needing daily medications, ear drops, special foods, and that gentle, patient touch only a true cat person can give. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, a quiet cuddle session, or just keeping things calm and consistent while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every pet like my own, with love, attention, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I'm working from home with pet-sitting, photography, and marketing jobs! I am very flexible in terms of travel and overall availability. Early mornings, afternoons, nights - I'm your gal! I have a big yard with many in-ground leads for the dogs to play safely without escape! My other two (very kind) fur babies will keep them company while they're away from home. While we do have cats, they are very independent creatures and usually reside in one room of our home. Easy to shut off for those who don't love felines!
About: I've rescued and rehabilitated six dogs, three became mine. And I've dog/house-sat for friends & family for decades, and now locally via ROVER for a year; I've loved meeting and caring for every dog I've met. And dogs love my fenced yard and the looong walks we take in the acres of trails and woods around my house! I'm formally educated and experienced in animal behavior and comparative psychology. And as a professional conservation biologist, I've spent my career working to protect all animals and their habitats. Caring for dogs is my heart and soul. Please feel free to contact me via ROVER for more information or with any questions. I work from home (complete with a fenced yard) surrounded by many wooded acres for long walks. Dogs welcome day or night, long- or short-term. I'm always here with them. And your dog(s) can either enjoy the company of my two pups, or they can have me, the house, and the yard all to themselves (as my pups love to go stay with their grand-dad down the hill). Boarding dogs can either meet and play with my two pups or they can have me, the house, and the fenced yard to themselves, which ever you/they prefer. The same applies to day-care for dogs.
About: I have had dogs and cats before and used to work in a building taking care of over 50 dogs and cats at one time. I really enjoy animals and was in veterinarian school for alittle bit I also used to watch neighbors pets for a week at a time while they were away I will feed walk play and bathe your pets as well I am currently a stay at home mom of a 3 month old little girl I live to be outdoors and have a bike trail in the back of my house I am a household with a 3 month old but I do have a cat currently who is the most sweetest thing. I do as the pet parent sees fit with there pet
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'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: 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: 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: I’ve been living with dogs my whole life and I love all kinds of pets! I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs and cats except bottle-babies. I am a certified dog trainer and formerly worked at an animal rescue as the behavior manager. This has provided me with experience with dogs and cats of various temperaments from a variety of situations. I also offer private dog training and other pet services through my private business. My work schedule is pretty flexible so I can make time any day of the week to work with you and your pets. For dogs in boarding, I always make time throughout the day for plenty of playing, physical exercise, mental enrichment, and relaxation. I have experience with a variety of care requirements including special handling for animals of different temperaments, walking and exercising dogs with behavioral issues, preparing specialized diets, and administering medications that I am confident in applying to your pet’s needs. While boarded, each dog has their own space to sleep, eat, and otherwise relax without being bothered by other dogs in the home. This can be a crate or puppy pen depending on what is the best fit for the dog. This is also where the dogs stay while I am out of the house to prevent any incidents between dogs. During the day, the dogs have the opportunity to spend their time inside or outside. There are plenty of toys and beds inside for some playing or relaxing. Outside, they have a fenced-in acre to run, explore, and roughhouse. The dog-friendly pool will be ready for use in April 2026. It has a 8x16ft sun shelf to allow for lounging in shallow water and a ramp for easy access in and out of the deep end. It is screened in to prevent anyone from slipping in unnoticed. For days that don’t allow for much exercise outside, I have treadmills to burn energy for dogs that are comfortable with them and plenty of puzzle feeders to keep their minds busy.

About: Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like a cherished member of the family. Having owned dogs and cats my entire life, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust completely to care for your fur babies. To give back to the animal community, I am currently volunteering at a local shelter, which keeps my hands-on care skills sharp and my heart full. Your pets will receive the exact same patience, love, and individual attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and scheduled care, and I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m dependable about arrival times and communication, and I’ll always keep you updated while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and other safety needs are handled exactly as requested. I take time to help pets feel comfortable with me and never rush an animal that needs a little extra time to warm up. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I'm experienced working with dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. Working in dog training, veterinary hospitals, and even animal control has left me with a wide variety of experience. Self employed, so I have a free schedule. Only times unavailable are Sunday mornings. Any days I'll be unavailable will be known months in advance. I have a private fenced in yard with a security system. Also full access between the house and sunroom. Segregation tools like crates are available if needed.
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
“Adrienne was very warm and welcoming, and great with Mulligan. Mulligan had a great time during the meet and greet and during his stay with her and her husband! We would definitely book with her again.”
“I almost hate to review this true gem! Linda will puppy sit one dog at a time which is great for my people-friendly, dog-hesitant fur baby. Her love of pets is so very apparent the moment you meet her. What a truly great find.”

“Sophia was great with my dog Grady. She was warm, friendly. She took the time to get to know him and play with him and make him (and me) feel comfortable with her before taking him on a walk. She was also punctual and professional!”
“You can tell from the moment he walks in the home, Corey is experienced dog handler. Professional, punctual and an all around nice guy. We look forward to using him again for my moms 60 lb American Pitbull terrier.”
“Where to start... I've been contemplating a dog walker for almost the year, I finally got on some sites and started looking around. Katie came up and I immediately liked what I read. As a first timer I was a little confused on how everything worked, Katie walked me right through it, which was a blessing. She was very kind and flexible with her time, as originally I wanted more days and ended up not needing them. We had our meet and greet. My girl loved her! So we went ahead and booked the walks. I cannot even tell you how well it went, she was on top of it, sent me pictures, and told me how Sadie was just doing every step of the way. We have plans to continue using Katie weekly, if you need a little help taking care of your babies, I highly suggest using Katie!”
About: I have had dogs most of my life and volunteered at a large shelter back in St. Louis for more than 10 yrs. I walked dogs, took them on enrichment trips, fostered them and helped at the shelter by just cleaning and doing laundry. I loved all the different dog personalities and tried to do anything that would make their life better. I would love to take care of dogs now that I'm retired and will also be volunteering at the local shelter here I'm retired and my dog recently passed so I'm craving dog time. With no dog i now have more time to dog walk I am available to dog sit or walk but live in a small rv so dog boarding might be tricky though I'm willing to try. I live in a dog friendly park that has a nice trail and isn't very crowded
About: I am an animal lover. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life as well as goats, chickens, and an occasional bird. I’ve also rescued and/or raised squirrels, rabbits, and a raccoon. I am retired so I have plenty of time to care for your babies. My baby (chihuahua) has epilepsy so I’m familiar with sticking to routines and administering oral medication. I am really quite a home body. I do a lot of crocheting. The only time that is not negotiable is the first and third Saturday 7:00am to 2:00pm of each month when I try to sell my crochet items at the farmers market. Other than those few hours I’m available to care for your babies needs. I’m trustworthy and clean. I will follow your wishes. I can crate your pet or sleep with it. I currently sleep with my chihuahua and my cat. I love to cuddle with them. My dogs are on a schedule for their medications so I would do the same for babies.
About: Hi! My name is Natalie and im 20 years old, I have 3 dogs, a cat, and 2 quaker parrots!

I love seeing animals comfortable in their own spaces and will do everything in my power to make sure it doesn’t stress out your animal when i’m there.
About: I've been an enthusiastic lover of all sorts of animals. From the cute and cuddly dogs or cats to the sometimes considered less appealing reptiles and amphibians. I always have had a great low-key type of energy that some more anxious or skittish animals tend to be more receptive to. It helps im very patient and attentive to an animals needs. I, myself have owned Dogs, cats, small mammals and rodents, reptiles, and fish. I am very accommodating to any special care or attention a pet may need. Ive been pet sitting off and on since I was a teenager and have never encountered an animal I wasnt able to care for responsibly and exceed expectations. I can look after larger dogs (100lbs+) as I am 6' with the strength to walk and play with them. I grew up with a 100lb German Shepard and owned a 100lb Rottweiler mix. No pet will deter me. On the flip side I also enjoy smaller dogs that want to be held and/or carried. As I've mentioned I'm an all around animal lover. I generally work 4p to midnight. With that said I have pretty good flexibility and can usually work from home. I ensure pets nourishment and care are well met. I treat the clients home with absolute respect, very tidy and maintain the home as if it were my own. Cleaning up after myself and leaving it in the best condition possible. Making sure the pets area is tidy after eating or playing, cleaning up any messes they may create.

About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I am respectful and considerate, and I spoil and pet them all the time. I have been taking care of animals practically since I was a child.

About: My husband & I have raised our own children as well as our 4 legged kiddos. We look forward to getting to know yours now. I am currently working from home and have plenty of time to responsibly care for your pet. Play dates, daycare and sleepovers, sounds like fun. I do not offer a fenced yard, however my community has a dog park as well as walking trails. Crating can be available also if necessary.
About: I offer loving, reliable pet care in a calm and relaxed environment. I specialize in well-behaved pets and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs over the years and truly treat them as part of the family. We had beloved dogs growing up, and I’ve also had cats—including a rescue cat which we loved very much. I'm naturally attentive to each pet's behavior, routine, and comfort. I take the time to understand their personality, so they feel calm and secure while you're away. I'm also friendly, respectful, clean and easy to communicate with. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for pets in my care. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take pets out on leashed walks and supervised potty breaks to ensure their safety at all times. I also have a spacious outdoor patio area for fresh air and short breaks. Inside, I maintain a clean, comfortable space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. In a client’s home, I respect their space and instructions, keeping their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free.
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 have two dogs at home, I take great care of them and would love to be able to help you take care of yours as well.
“Sarah was amazing with my dog while I was away for a few days. She was extremely prompt on her timing and gave detailed reports on how my dog was doing after every visit. Sarah went above and beyond to go through all the details of feeding/schedule and my dogs likes and dislikes. I was at ease immediately after meeting Sarah at the meet and greet. I would 100% use Sarah again in the future!”
About: Hi Everyone, I grew up working with horses, sheep, goats, dogs of all kinds, and various other animals. I am a firm believer that animals are family and should always be treated as such. I would love to be trusted to take care of your furry children! I work full-time during the week but would be able to check in your furry friends before and after!

“Katie is amazing! We had to leave town for the weekend so we needed to find good care for our energetic Hank. I stumbled upon rover and found Katie, so I decided to message her right away, she responded within minutes! And that same conversation led us to our meet and greet the next day. When we got to the meet and greet, we were welcomed by Katie and her family, she has two older dogs and she created a safe place for Hank to meet her dogs individually first. All the dogs got along really well and we know that Hank was comfortable and happy to stay with Katie when we had to leave. During the stay with Katie, she was very good at communicating with me throughout the trip, and from the picture she sent us we know that Hank was having a great time. Katie is wonderful and if we ever have to look for care for hing, we will definitely come back to her!”
“Exceptional!! They took such wonderful care of our fur baby while we were out of town. We always get a little nervous leaving Winnie, but Linda and her husband made us feel at ease. They sent so many pictures and updates throughout Winnie's stay. We will definitely book with Linda again!”
“Sarah and her family were great! She’s obviously an animal lover and our puppy fit right in. She sent pictures and updates daily! We were very pleased with her care for our little girl! We would recommend her to everyone! Thank you for everything, Sarah!”
“Heidi is the best !!! We had an emergency and she worked with me when we had to change our flights from Tuesday to Monday. She sends pictures and updates daily and Lucy loves her !!!! We will definitely be back or should I say Lucy will !!!!”
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.
“Our 2 Havanese loved their time with Erica and her family! The felt very comfortable and at home with Erica! Erica kept in contact with us and shared pictures of our ‘kids’ during their overnight visit! We will be returning!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!”
“Kelly made Zeus very comfortable and got plenty of exercise. We will definitely book with Kelly in future. I have a neighbor that will be reaching out as soon as I give her the information. Thank you Kelly.”
“Alexus and her family provided wonderful care for our precious puppy. Their home is clean and welcoming and she provided continuous updates throughout our dog’s stay. We would gladly go back there when the need arises and recommend her highly. Thanks Alexus”
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.
“Jill was wonderful taking care of our young corgi that had never spent the night away from home. Our dog had fun play outside and nurturing family time inside. We received regular updates and pictures throughout our trip which helped us not worry. Jill followed our house rules keeping consistency for our pup. We will be using her services again. A wonderful alternative to traditional boarding facilities.”
About: Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like a cherished member of the family. Having owned dogs and cats my entire life, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust completely to care for your fur babies. To give back to the animal community, I am currently volunteering at a local shelter, which keeps my hands-on care skills sharp and my heart full. Your pets will receive the exact same patience, love, and individual attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and scheduled care, and I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m dependable about arrival times and communication, and I’ll always keep you updated while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and other safety needs are handled exactly as requested. I take time to help pets feel comfortable with me and never rush an animal that needs a little extra time to warm up. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
