“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“My dog is super high anxiety and he was so calm around Lisbeth on the scariest day of the year (4th of July). Normally we can’t leave Richie home alone because of his separation anxiety but with it being the 4th of July, he definitely couldn’t be alone as he is terrified of fireworks. Lisbeth was great and has such a calming energy about her that she was able to keep Richie chill all night long. I would recommend her to literally anyone. She’s great with animals; they just love her and you can tell and she loves them too!!”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth are simply the best! My dog loves them and is happy to stay with them for a visit while I am gone. I trust them completely with my little girl.”
“My dog stayed with Karlee for 4 nights recently and he had such a great time! She brought him on multiple adventures including the beach and made sure to send many pics and update me daily. I would highly recommend Karlee for dog watching and sitting!”
“Sarah was everything you can ask for in a sitter! She was responsive, attentive, and so professional. My Daisy had a blast, she was played out and had full attention 24/7. My partner and I had total peace of mind on our trip, with constant pictures and updates. I will bring my dogs back for sure. 5 stars”
“Eve was absolutely fantastic! She watched our pit bull mix, Maizy for an extended stay. My partner and I felt so at peace knowing Maizy was well cared for while we were on vacation. We were initially very anxious to leave her with anyone due to some separation anxiety and reactivity issues. Eve handled her with such care. We received daily updates with photos, too. I would absolutely recommend Eve for your pet!”
“Michelle is wonderful. My dogs were very well cared for during their stay with her. She is a great communicator and a very caring sitter. My dogs and I look forward to benefiting from her generosity in the future.”
“Lisa and Charlie are fantastic! They were very accommodating and I could tell Jax warmed right up to them! Pictures and communications were great - I strongly recommend using them to take care of your pup!”
“Riley was happy and well cared for. Abigail provided pictures and regular updates. She showed love and affection towards Riley and asked the right questions about feeding and walks etc. We will definately be using her again!”
“Our dog spent the weekend with Janette, and we couldn't have found a better 'home away from home' for her. This is an oasis for any dog: a large, fenced yard provides plenty of room for exercise and entertainment, and her dog is great company for visiting canines. This is a true pet paradise, and we'll be recommending Janette's pet-sitting services to our friends. ”
“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”
“Kym & Glen took such great care of my Frankie! They both have great personalities and communicated well with me during my dogs stay. I could hardly get Frankie to come back home with me he had so much fun!”
“Dr Hope and Scott are amazing dog loving people. I did not ask for walks because they have a great backyard and it is huge to let my dogs get the exercise they need for the 4 days. They are happy to be home but they enjoyed their time there. This won’t be the last time we will book with her.”
“You won't find a better pet sitter than Linda and her husband Brian. They are devoted to their sweet girl Carmi, who plays so well with any dog they bring into their home. I have no worries when I leave Hank, other than she will be booked the next time I need her. 😍♥️”
“We could not be happier with the treatment Skipper received from Olga. She sent us daily pix and he looked so happy. When we picked him up he was clean and frisky. We will use Olga absolutely.”
“Love Kendal and Dre! They took such amazing care of my pup while we were on vacation. They were so communicative and sent so many pictures and updates. I can tell he had an amazing time, an probably didn’t want to leave when we picked him up :) Amazing couple and we will definitely use them again!”
“What a wonderful family, and our sweet dog came back happy, healthy, and unstressed. I will definitely reach out again to have them dog-sit. Karson was so thoughtful to send us pictures showing how she was adjusting, since this was the first time she had ever been left with someone. Thank you!”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my pup. I loved getting videos and pictures throughout his stay with her. It was obvious he was well loved and cared for while at her home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”

“Andie did great with our skiddish kitty cats over the holiday weekend. She made sure she saw them, tried to get them to warm up to her, and listened to instructions well in regard to feeding them / cleaning up their area. She was also delightful during our meet and greet and exhibited her vast knowledge by chatting about her history of cat care. Overall, we are pleased with Andie and highly recommend her for your feline family members! 😸😸”

“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad that I found Kim! She is so attentive to each of my cats needs, has been so communicative, very professional, and has sent she such detailed visit reports that really kept my mind at ease and worries at-bay while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Kim again in the future! ?”
“Michael was very helpful with my last minute cat sitting needs. He provided short but thorough updates each visit, and my cats definitely appreciated their playtime.”
“Jenn was absolutely wonderful with my two kittens. She spent quality time with them and made sure they were happy and healthy while I was gone. Her daily photos and reports made my time away stress free and relaxing. Jenn will be my “go to” in the future. She’s the best and I highly recommend her!”
About: I currently have 2 cats, 1 male and 1 female, that I got as kittens. I have had these cats for about 2 years. My responsibilities with these pets include/included feeding, bathing, playing, and more. I also previously volunteered with a local animal shelter where I worked with mainly cats and kittens. As a volunteer, my responsibilities included transport, playing with the shelter animals, weighing, and checking in/watching. I am also PetTech certified!
About: Since I was born, I have always been around dogs and cats. I love all animals and there is nothing better than walking and playing with them. I travel for work and during my breaks I love receiving all the puppy love. For work, I travel full-time and during my breaks I work from home and have plenty of time to care for all of your pets. I am a pet owner and know what and how I would want someone to take of mine. I will give the same love and attention to your pet that I give to own!
“Kaci was awesome with our kitties while we were out of town! She sent us photos, and you can see how the cats progressively got more comfortable and happier with her. She was really easy to set up a meet and greet - and kept in constant communication! I highly recommended her for you fur babies! ❤️”
About: No corn dogs here, for pet's sake. I can take your pup on a long walk or a potty break. We've dog gone and done it! I'm currently working part-time so it'll be a piece of cake to squeeze your pup in and get them out of the house and have a paws-itive pet experience. I will check fence gates before letting your pup out, keep the key with me at all times and return afterwards, and do a final check.
“Bailey was a WONDERFUL cat sitter. She checked up on my two cats once a day, feeding them, filling their water bowl, cleaning the litter, and giving my one friendly cat lots of love. I asked if she would send a picture of them each day so I wouldn't worry as much about them. She went above and beyond, sending 8 or 9 pictures and videos each day and also sending full reports on how they were doing. I get very anxious when I'm away from the kitties, and her detailed updates made me feel so much better about being away for the holidays.”
“Stefania is such a great cat-sitter! She was so very communicative and paid great attention to the varied personalities of our kitties. She even kept us updated on the shenanigans they got into while we were gone and let us know about some broken items. We will absolutely reach out to her again — we know our kitties were well-loved!”
“So I stumbled on Rover on FB. I deceided to try it. I chose 3 people in my area. My situation is a little different as I have 2 cats that just need to be fed once a day. I know this sight is geared mostly to dogs. So one chosen person wanted to charge for 2 cats. The second person got back to me about 3 days before my trip. Kasey got back to me in minutes & said she wanted the job . I had a meet with Kasey, a lovely woman. I knew Kasey was the lady for the job at the meet & greet. Got home today & Kasey did a great job. I only hope she stays with Rover. Thank you Kasey.”
About: My love for animals goes beyond responsibility—it’s a genuine passion rooted in patience, attentiveness, and kindness. I take pride in making sure every cat in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My special bond with animals reflects the deep connection I build, treating them as family. Anyone can feel confident knowing their pets are in caring and capable hands with me.

“Fantastic dog care Very impressed with how Janette handles dogs It was our first time and Griffin was relaxed and peaceful when I picked him up, which is unusual using a first time sitter I highly recommend her, but not so much that I can’t find space to use her again!!! 5+ stars”
“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”

“Michelle is super nice. We felt comfortable leaving Mazy in her care. Mazy had a day of fun I know this because she has been sleeping for 3 hours since we picked her up. Would definitely use her again”
“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.
“Fumiko was a blessing!!! She treated Luna like her own and was constantly sending pictures and videos of her having a good time. I recommend her with my eyes closed… your fur baby is in good hands. Thank you so much for giving me peace and being so accommodating with me and Luna. I will call you again when in the area.”
“Amazing experience! Abby accepted a last minute booking and provided great care. Communication was excellent, and my dog came back happy. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every farm animal from horses to chickens. My sister said I was like the Pied Piper. Animals would just follow me around. I have trained therapy dogs and one service dog. I love all animals and they love me. I often say I'd rather spend time with dogs than people. (I like people, too) I was a certified teacher for 38 years and just recently retired. Oh, kids like me, too. I'm currently retired and spend a great deal of my time at home. I teach music lessons one afternoon a week but other than that your dog will have lots of attention. I have a 1/4 acre fenced in yard with an electronic gate that is always locked and can only be opened with a remote gate opener. I live in a very shaded area of the historic part of a quiet neighborhood. . I have a neutered husky that loves dogs from 4 to 150 pounds.

I'm currently a dog Mom to a 5 year old miniature poodle. While I am an experienced dog sitter of all sizes, "Gracie" would prefer only small breeds in our home. Your pets needs are our top priority.

I reside in a safe neighborhood. My home is a one story single family home with a 4 Ft fenced in backyard. Dogs are never outside without supervision. Gracie, my poodle pup, loves chasing sticks and sunbathing. She would love to have a buddy to enjoy her favorite activities with. She loves all dogs but prefers those her own size. Ideally, 10-25 pounds. I utilize Arlo and Wyze, security apps, to monitor safety when I need to be away from home for short periods of time.

We have a large fenced in yard and have experience with giving medication as well. We look forward for the chance to care for your pets while you are gone! My job is flexible. I work close to home full time with frequent opportunities for breaks, so I am available during a wide variety of times needed. While boarding I have opportunity for a number of walks a day. I have a fenced in yard. If I care for multiple dogs, I introduce them slowly, and always feed separately, to avoid any issues. There is opportunity for blended play/snuggles as well as 1:1.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and friends and families’s dogs for years. People have trusted me enough to leave their precious pets with me while they are out of town. I currently have a German shorthair pointer and a cattle dog mix. They are both very friendly. I would be happy to love on your babies. I am available for overnights, but will only take one dog at a time and prefer a small dog overnight. I am also available for drop and visits and for walks. I am currently part time. My schedule is relatively flexible. I am available for drop in visits and walks. Let’s talk about your pets needs. I do not have a fence yard. I am available to watch one small dog at a time in my house. I am available to go to your house for for drop visits and for walks.
About: I have experience working with elderly and sick dogs so I am used to administering medicine. I had two dogs before I moved out of my parents a teacup chihuahua and a mutt named buddy. Felipe is 13 and buddy is 6. I have experience working at a dog shelter in San Diego California when I was 13-14. I am open to all breeds and all sizes. Both of my dogs were from the spca so I’m used to untrained pups. I will treat your dog like they are my own. Trips to the dog park regularly if boarding and regular walks and attention. I am a piercer at a tattoo shop and my partner is a tattoo artist, we have revolving schedules. Usually the pup would only be left alone 1-2 hours at a time, when i go to work and he comes home right after i leave. We are both animal lovers so being on rover is a nice way from preventing us from getting our own dog. I do stay in apartment but we make sure to go on regular walks around the neighborhood. There is a small fenced in area i like to take them too as well.

“My dog stayed with Karlee for 4 nights recently and he had such a great time! She brought him on multiple adventures including the beach and made sure to send many pics and update me daily. I would highly recommend Karlee for dog watching and sitting!”
“Sarah was everything you can ask for in a sitter! She was responsive, attentive, and so professional. My Daisy had a blast, she was played out and had full attention 24/7. My partner and I had total peace of mind on our trip, with constant pictures and updates. I will bring my dogs back for sure. 5 stars”
“Eve was absolutely fantastic! She watched our pit bull mix, Maizy for an extended stay. My partner and I felt so at peace knowing Maizy was well cared for while we were on vacation. We were initially very anxious to leave her with anyone due to some separation anxiety and reactivity issues. Eve handled her with such care. We received daily updates with photos, too. I would absolutely recommend Eve for your pet!”
“Michelle is wonderful. My dogs were very well cared for during their stay with her. She is a great communicator and a very caring sitter. My dogs and I look forward to benefiting from her generosity in the future.”
“Lisa and Charlie are fantastic! They were very accommodating and I could tell Jax warmed right up to them! Pictures and communications were great - I strongly recommend using them to take care of your pup!”
“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”
“Kym & Glen took such great care of my Frankie! They both have great personalities and communicated well with me during my dogs stay. I could hardly get Frankie to come back home with me he had so much fun!”
“Dr Hope and Scott are amazing dog loving people. I did not ask for walks because they have a great backyard and it is huge to let my dogs get the exercise they need for the 4 days. They are happy to be home but they enjoyed their time there. This won’t be the last time we will book with her.”
“Love Kendal and Dre! They took such amazing care of my pup while we were on vacation. They were so communicative and sent so many pictures and updates. I can tell he had an amazing time, an probably didn’t want to leave when we picked him up :) Amazing couple and we will definitely use them again!”
“What a wonderful family, and our sweet dog came back happy, healthy, and unstressed. I will definitely reach out again to have them dog-sit. Karson was so thoughtful to send us pictures showing how she was adjusting, since this was the first time she had ever been left with someone. Thank you!”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”

I spent a couple years volunteering at PAWS Adoption Center in St. George, Utah and have experience with all kinds of pups: Big, small, old, young, fluffy, stinky. Bring it on!

I'm extremely patient, attentive, and able to adapt your pets specific needs. I have experience as an in-house pet sitter as well and in my own home so this is familiar work for me.
“Lori made me feel so comfortable leaving my Ellie in her care. She sent pictures each day. It was Ellie's first time away from me so I felt guilty leaving her for a week. She was happy to see me and we are back into our old routine now. Lori was wonderful.”
“I recommend her 100%! She took care of Oviler with so much love and passion. Oliver was happy with her and she sent me pictures and updates frequently. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
