“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“Sadie went to Beth’s house for the weekend! She had fun and gets excited when she goes over there. Sadie & Snickers get along well, Beth is a great sitter, communicates and sends pics during her stay!”
“Viktoria and her family were very welcoming to Allie. She seemed to fit right in! They had plenty of space for her to explore and I’m sure she enjoyed her stay. Will definitely use her again.”
“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“Stephany came very highly reviewed and for good reason! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process from booking through pick up and took fantastic care of our dog. She didn't miss a day of photos and provided consistent updates, which is always a great relief when entrusting someone to care for your loved one. She provide Rex his own space so that he could have quiet and solitude when needed, but also ample play and outdoor time. Rex left a happy and healthy boy. Can't recommend her enough!”
“My Kelly received wonderful care from Leslie. Leslie was just fabulous sending me updates and photos twice a day. Kelly got exercise, play time with new friends and had a wonderful time there. Also, Leslie was very conscientious about returning all of her toys, bedding, extra food, etc. It was a wonderful experienced and I can't recommend her enough. We will be back very soon.”
“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”
“Yeini watched my dogs for the first time. She made sure to update me multiple times through the day. I am super happy with her services. My 2 malteses looked happy when I picked them up!”
“Jennifer is lovely and a very caring person for my two young Havanese. She sent us pictures throughout the day. We felt confident leaving them with her. We had a video chat first and met her in person when dropping the dogs off. She showed us around where they would be playing and introduced us to her young daughter. She and the dogs seemed to hit it off.”
“Nicholas was so awesome with my skittish girl. She takes a while to warm up to people but he didn’t give up and gained her trust quickly on our weekend away. He shared so many photos and videos to keep our minds at ease. Great sitter!!!!”
“Nathalie took great care of our two Chihuahuas for 10 days, including one who is elderly. Nathalie took lots of extra care and attention to make sure he was eating well. She sent pictures and videos every day. When I picked the dogs up they seemed calm and not at all stressed. I trust Nathalie with my babies - she and her family are just wonderful.”
“Cindy and Steve did a great job watching Bodie our Golden Retriever over Christmas. They were very flexible on drop off and pickup times. We got regular photo and video updates. They have a lovely home and a large fenced in play area and also walked Bodie regularly.”
“Lindsay is an awesome dog sitter. I had to leave the state for a couple of weeks and was perfectly comfortable having my “kid” at her house. It’s nice because she works out of her home and do you know about the dog isn’t love for long periods of time. I will definitely use her again !”
“Leslie watched our sweet Remi girl who was only 13 weeks old. She hadn’t had all of her shots yet, so we were nervous to board her publicly. Taking her to Leslie, she was able to socialize with not just her two dogs but with tortoises, a parrot, and chickens! Our puppy also discovered that she loves swimming Leslie allowed her to swim in their pool. It felt like Remi was welcomed into a family and not boarded up all weekend! Thank you Leslie!”
About: I’ve had dogs for many years and have plenty of experience caring for different personalities, sizes and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets over the years, and I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe and loving environment for them. I’m patient, attentive and responsible, and I understand how important routines, affection and supervision are for a dog’s well-being. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each pet receives personalized care and attention during their stay. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’m home most of the time and enjoy maintaining a calm and structured environment with regular walks, playtime and rest. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so I can focus on each pet individually and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for during their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I provide a clean, calm and secure home environment and always supervise interactions carefully. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks and any special instructions from the owner. I prefer caring for well-behaved adult dogs and only accept a small number of pets at a time to ensure personalized attention and a low-stress environment for everyone.

“Kim is absolutely fantastic. Everyday she kept me in the loop with an honest update about my two kitties with pictures, which I appreciated tremendously. Kim is now my go-to sitter. Your pet is in great hands with her.”
“I can’t thank Sofia enough for being so flexible and accommodating. My plans changed unexpectedly, and I had to adjust the schedule for her visits, but she adapted without any issues and was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She kept me updated on my dog the entire time with photos and detailed notes, which made me feel so relieved and at ease. Since it was my first time using Rover, I was a little nervous, but Sofia made the whole experience wonderful. I honestly recommend her 100%! She is responsible, reliable, and truly committed to the pets she cares for. I will definitely book with her again! Thanks so much 💙”
“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”
“Nicole is by far the best sitter that I have worked with on rover. She is extremely respectful and responsible but was also flexible to Mishu and I’s needs. She is very sweet and got Mishu to warm up to her a lot. I knew my cat loved her because when I came home she didn’t seem scared or anxious as if she had felt lonely while I was gone. The house was left absolutely perfect and spotless. What a wonderful experience! Thank you Nicole, you are welcome back anytime.”
“After never having spent even one night alone in our Florida home, a family matter took us out of state and we had to leave our cat alone for 5 days/4 nights. We were very anxious to leave our kitty alone but felt confident all would be okay after meeting Carolina. She was on time for all visits, spent time with our shy kitty and gave us reports with pictures after every visit. We came home to a well-fed and content kitty --- and clean eating and litter areas. Would definitely recommend Carolina and hire again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs consistently for neighbors since I was growing up, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. Last summer, I also worked at Groomerie as a dog bather, where I learned how to safely handle dogs, read body language, keep pets calm, and make sure they felt comfortable during care. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every dog has different needs—whether that means extra energy on walks, gentle care for nervous pups, or a calm approach with older dogs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like family. Pet care fits well into my routine this semester. I’m a college student taking three online courses, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m also shadowing for OT and PT three days a week, but outside of those hours I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care is something I’m excited to make part of my weekly routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules they have in place. I know consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior, keep a clean and safe environment, and always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food areas are secure. During walks, I stay alert to surroundings and make safety my main focus. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Great sitter!! Pleasant. Communicative and personable. Very flexible with her schedule. Always checking in and checking out! — sent a lot of pictures. Highly recommended. Will use her again!”
“Sierra did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat. We booked Sierra last minute because my other sitter couldn’t do it and she replied almost immediately. Her darling daughter also helped with petting and caring for our cat. 2 for 1 service! Would definitely use her again.”
“Tiffany is a fantastic caretaker. We have had her take care of our cat multiple times now and she is always reliable and communicative. Our cat can be a bit slow to come out of her shell and Tiffany sends us helpful updates when we're away. Thank you!!!”
“Caroline took great care of my very old kitty, Cody. She kept me up to date with notes and pictures which eased my worry, as this was her first time taking care of him. Cody was happy to see her and I could tell that he was very relaxed by her twice daily visits. We will definitely use Caroline again when the need arises.”
“Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!”
About: I’ve lived with several cats throughout college and was always the go-to sitter for my roommates’ and friends’ kitties 🐱 I love getting to know each cat’s little quirks and personalities, and I treat them like they’re my own. I also care for my sister’s cat when she’s away. I’m basically the designated cat aunt and proud of it 💛
About: As a lifelong cat owner and former teacher, I speak fluent "feline." I’ve raised and cared for cats of all personalities, from playful, high energy kittens to sensitive, independent seniors. I understand that cats thrive on routine and consent, and I pride myself on reading their body language perfectly so they always feel safe and respected. Whether your cat loves interactive wand toy playtime, requires a meticulous litter box schedule, or needs a calm, patient presence to sit nearby and keep them company, I adapt entirely to their unique boundaries. I am also highly experienced with the gentle approach needed for senior cat care, including administering daily oral medications, tracking subtle appetite changes, and providing a stress free environment that keeps their routines perfectly intact.
About: In regards to my experience with personal pet care. From a young age, I have raised and help nurture animals in all stages of their life. Along with dogs I have provided care for other animals such as: Cats, Fish, and Horses of various shapes and sizes. LGBTQIA friendly 💖🏳️🌈 I am currently a Freelance Character Designer and Illustrator, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Let me know what's up and I'll probably be down. I care for your pets as if they were my own. Your pets wellbeing and comfort is a top priority! Also I maintain and keep schedules and plans in place for your pet; along with monitoring health, behavior and notifying pet parents of any change that arises while in my care. I want to be 100% transparent with everything that goes on in your absence to keep you at a peace of mind.

“Stephanie was wonderful with Scooby! She was incredibly friendly, kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures, and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Scooby had a great time at daycare, and I could tell he was well cared for. I highly recommend Stephanie and would definitely book with her again!”
“Jewell is a jewel! She took perfect care of my 15 year-old 10 lb fog. She is attentive, understands dogs, caring, and even after our first visit, I know I can trust her with my little old soul Zorro completely.”
“Nicholas is our new favorite sitter! His relaxing easy going personality is a perfect fit for our two pups. I tell them on the way there that they are going to spend the day AT THE GREAT BIG YARD! So much room for activities! So many sniffs and smells and sights and yard to check out. Then, especially since it's summer, plenty of snoozing on the couch or cool tiles. Nicholas has been agreeable with some time changes and is super responsive when I have a question. We're new to Rover and will likely not look any further for a sitter now that we've found Nicholas and The Great Big Yard! Thank you, Nicholas!”
“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”

About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets!

Sunday Mornings: I teach Sunday school to preschoolers for a brief session. Outside of these short windows, my days are completely open. This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request.

As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.

I have a fully fenced yard so you never have to worry about them getting loose. I have 3 cats of my own who are all very friendly and do well with other cats and dogs, however accommodations can always be made and my cats can be confined to a certain area of the house.

I dedicate consistent time each day for walks, play, and training with Hoss, ensuring he receives mental and physical stimulation. On weekdays, I balance pet duties by prioritizing morning and evening care sessions. Weekends allow for longer playtimes and socializing with other dogs. My routine is flexible to accommodate the unique needs of any pet under my care, ensuring they feel loved and well-attended at all times. When caring for pets, safety is my top priority. In mine or the clients’ homes, I carefully follow their instructions and routines to maintain consistency and comfort. I ensure all hazardous items like cleaning supplies and medications are securely out of pets’ reach. I pet-proof the space by checking doors, windows, and gates to prevent escapes and accidents. I keep the home secure by locking doors behind me and carry keys at all times. Communication is timely and transparent, with updates and photos to reassure pet parents. My lifetime experience enables me to respond calmly in emergencies, making trust and safety paramount in every visit.
About: I have years of experience with dogs big and small, reptiles and pocket pets. I have a 11 month Coonhound mix that I rescued from Nate’s and I spoil him everyday. I’ve volunteered as Veterinary Assistant at the HSSC animal clinic, worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility for over a year. I have experience working with dogs with medical attention. The last 3 years I had a Boston(Sailor) with Epilepsy and would give medication around the clock and experienced with recognizing and handling seizures. Your loved pets are my new family. I’m currently part time and have a flexible schedule. Lots of my mornings and afternoons are free to take care of your pups needs like meals, medication, play time and walks. Or just to have the company of another! I have a friendly playful dog that can keep them company and play. I enjoy going to the park when the weather allows it so we can get fresh air and exercise. I like to leave the tv on nature channel with relaxing sounds to keep them comfortable if I’m not around. When it seems they are getting board I like to give enrichment toys filled with yummy healthy treats. And I’m the cuddling type if they allow it.

“Stephany came very highly reviewed and for good reason! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process from booking through pick up and took fantastic care of our dog. She didn't miss a day of photos and provided consistent updates, which is always a great relief when entrusting someone to care for your loved one. She provide Rex his own space so that he could have quiet and solitude when needed, but also ample play and outdoor time. Rex left a happy and healthy boy. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Nicholas was so awesome with my skittish girl. She takes a while to warm up to people but he didn’t give up and gained her trust quickly on our weekend away. He shared so many photos and videos to keep our minds at ease. Great sitter!!!!”
“Cindy and Steve did a great job watching Bodie our Golden Retriever over Christmas. They were very flexible on drop off and pickup times. We got regular photo and video updates. They have a lovely home and a large fenced in play area and also walked Bodie regularly.”
“Leslie watched our sweet Remi girl who was only 13 weeks old. She hadn’t had all of her shots yet, so we were nervous to board her publicly. Taking her to Leslie, she was able to socialize with not just her two dogs but with tortoises, a parrot, and chickens! Our puppy also discovered that she loves swimming Leslie allowed her to swim in their pool. It felt like Remi was welcomed into a family and not boarded up all weekend! Thank you Leslie!”
About: I’ve had dogs for many years and have plenty of experience caring for different personalities, sizes and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets over the years, and I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe and loving environment for them. I’m patient, attentive and responsible, and I understand how important routines, affection and supervision are for a dog’s well-being. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each pet receives personalized care and attention during their stay. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’m home most of the time and enjoy maintaining a calm and structured environment with regular walks, playtime and rest. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so I can focus on each pet individually and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for during their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I provide a clean, calm and secure home environment and always supervise interactions carefully. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks and any special instructions from the owner. I prefer caring for well-behaved adult dogs and only accept a small number of pets at a time to ensure personalized attention and a low-stress environment for everyone.

“Great care for our two dogs.They have very different personalities and they were comfortable because Lori shared their behaviors exactly like they are at home. It was amazing. She shared pictures along which made our time away easier as I didn’t have to worry about them. Thank you Lori!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 11 and have always been the go-to pet helper in my neighborhood. I grew up loving nature thanks to my mom we were always visiting zoos and wildlife reserves, so being around animals has just always felt natural to me. My family has had both dogs and cats my whole life, and I truly adore them all. Your furry loved one will be treated like family with me and cared for with lots of love and attention 🐾💛 My schedule is fully open at the moment! Would love to take your dog for a walk early morning/late afternoon so it’s not too hot!!! I can also do drop in visits! I am very respectful of your space and treat your home just like it’s my own. I always clean up after myself and your pet, and I make sure everything is left exactly how I found it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m also happy to host pets in my home, where they’ll receive lots of attention and care.
“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”
