“Sandra was great with communication and pics of Lola during her stay! She made me feel very comfortable leaving for my trip and I knew my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“My dog daughter loves being with Angie and her husband. They take care of her as if she were her family. They allowed her to sleep with them and made her feel happy with games and walks. I would really book again and I recommend that if you want your furry ones to feel at home that you do it too. Pd. Thank you for all the photos and videos during her care.”
“Keliecathran is so caring and inclusive with our girls. She makes them feel comfortable and welcome, and they love to be with her dog, Coconut, too. They will be staying again, soon.”
“Teddy and Gina enjoyed their stay with Rebecca. During their visit, Rebecca sent pictures of Teddy and Gina playing and snuggling. Rebecca was easy to communicate with and was responsive to all our questions. This was a great first experience.”
“This was our first stay with Charles and everything went very well! He was a great communicator with sending updates and asking questions in order to make our pup’s stay go as smoothe as possible and ease any concerns I had. We will definitely book again!”
“June did a superb job with Bentley & followed all of the instructions with his medications & feeding etc. She is obviously a dog lover & I think he got spoiled a bit as today he seems a bit off being back at home! Apparently he decided to get into bed with June to sleep, something he never does at our house! She responded to any questions via text or by phone and kept us informed through videos and photos every day. We would have no problem leaving him again with Miss June.”
“Murphy loves coming to stay with Shayla. She eliminates all of our worries about leaving him. Shayla sends pictures and gives our dog love and attention. Would recommend her to everyone.”
“Katherine took care of Buster while I was out of town. Buster suffers from bad anxiety and does not travel well. Katherine’s care allowed Buster to remain in a familiar environment and familiar faces. I could tell he was sad to see her go. I will definitely reach out to Katherine in the future to care for Buster.”
“Debra took exceptional care of our dog, Jasper, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. Throughout Jasper's stay, Debra kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Jasper looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and it was obvious he received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. We truly appreciate the love and dedication Debra showed toward Jasper. We would not hesitate to trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Debra, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”

“Lori is the best! She communicates very well, leaves pictures of a very elusive cat. She truly cares about the well being of my Mia and I appreciate her attention to detail. I will book with her again without hesitation.”
“We had Berkley drop in on our cat each day while we were on vacation. She was excellent in all aspects. Communication with us, punctual, playing with the cat, cleaning the litter box... I would not look anywhere else, will hire her again.”
“Teri took care of our two cats and did an excellent job. She followed all instructions and took the time to play with and engage with our cats. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She also cleaned up after the cats. Thank you, Teri and Rover!”
“Sabrina was beyond phenomenal! From the first meet and greet, we immediately felt confident that she would be responsible to watch our home and our cat. She was timely, organized and clean, communicative, and sent us the cutest photo updates. She is also very detail oriented and shared a few updates on our cat to ensure we were aware of a few habits that could be indicative of a developing ear infection. We cannot wait to hire Sabrina again in the future!”
“Shay came twice to our house beforehand and took good notes. She went above and beyond taking care of our kitties and even took special care and measures for our 1 problem kitty until we could get back and get him to the vet today. Highly recommended with kitties and homesitting”
“Jessica was great! This was the 1st real vacation that we've taken in 10 yrs all because we couldn't leave our 3 kitties boarded. We agreed to try Rover & after meeting Jessica, we knew we were doing the right thing! Our kitties are spoiled... no doubt about it... and it was going to take a special person to be patient & loving enough for this task! Enter Jessica! We had the best person for the job! I see other vacays in our future! Thank you Jessica (& Rover).”
“Misty came by for a third meet and greet with Mia and we went over feeding instructions and the walking route for her morning post breakfast walk. Mia recognized Misty and was wagging her tail. Misty was good with Mia and there were no problems walking, or coming in the house. Misty was on time, even for early morning visit which was appreciated. Thanks!”
“Melissa was a true gem taking care of Sage. Sage greeted her every day at the door excited to see Melissa. Melissa was so sweet to bring in packages that were delivered. I would highly recommend Melissa for any pet care needed”
“Leaving your furry family members for an extended period of time is never easy. Hailey helped to make the situation as good as it could have been. She was conscientious of our needs and very respectful of our home. We loved receiving updates and pictures during her stay and she was always quick to respond whenever we would reach out. We found Hailey to be diligent, trustworthy and prompt. We have already scheduled her next stay.”
“Joanna took great care of our cat, Henry, while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and even came on extra days to see him. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Henry was well taken care of. We came home to a happy, healthy cat, and we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I would definitely recommend Joanna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
“Nicole stepped in to assist with our dog during a family emergency where I had to travel out of state at the last minute. Without hesitation she took care of our very particular Lacey - walks to the pond close by, and tackled the process of feeding Lacey - which is not easy - but handled it like champion! We are forever grateful for Nicole’s help and we will reach out to her in the future as our dog walking needs arise. AND she was kind enough to bring us ice cream treats 🍦”
“Nikki did everything we asked and more. We will definitely use her again when we travel. We have one cat that hides from everyone and the very first day she was at the house, she sent a picture of her petting that cat. She is a “cat whisperer” for sure.”
“If you’re looking for a pet sitter who treats your fur baby like their own, look no further! She checked in on my cat every single day last week while I was out of town, and from the very first visit, I could tell he was in great hands. What truly set her apart was the communication — she sent photos and updates after every drop-in without me even having to ask. As a pet parent who worries from afar, that peace of mind was priceless. She made sure he was eating, drinking, and staying entertained with his toys, which is honestly everything you hope for when you can’t be there yourself. The trust factor is real — I’ve already booked her again for an upcoming work trip, and this time she’ll be caring for my dogs too. That says it all! If you want someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, Carol Ann is your person!”
About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.
“Thank God for Melissa… She took excellent care of my Kitties even though they are scared of strangers. I was out of the country during the cold snap and she walked into a very cold house, but got my thermostat working so it stayed at 70°… not in the 40”s she walked into and let me know what was going on every day she came. Everything was clean and taken care of. I will definitely call her again when I am traveling.”
“Angela is amazing! She dropped in to look at after my cat while I was on vacation, and I could not have asked for anyone better! She was on time and made sure everything was taken care of, including some quality cuddles and pets! She sent me pictures each time she visited, and I could tell my cat was relaxed and enjoying her company! 100% recommend booking Angela!!”

“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. We grew up with a small farm, horses, cows, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs dogs cats you name it we’ve had it. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most times but I’m retired and find It’s very boring so I would love to have something to keep me busy.. I can come to your home or you can bring your pets to mine. I have a fenced in yard lots of room for them to run. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I would love to take care of your fur baby and give them lots of love I have a fenced in yard. I do have a small Shih Tzu. He’s very friendly loves people and dogs only thing he bites is lizards.

“Timmy was happy and exhausted after his day with Chrissy. He has energy to burn and he played with the other doggies and wore himself out. Came home, had dinner & off to his bed for a few hours! Thanks Chrissy for taking good care of him. And thanks for the great gift bag you gave us. We will call you again 😊”
“Amazing person, communication, easy to get along, understanding, patient, my baby was happy because she have 2 other babies so he was able to have play time, she send video and pictures all the time , I had to extend my stay to 2 other days and she was happy to accommodate me, another thing I love I can tell she take care of him, he come back the way he was drop off, smelling good, no poop under his feet or smell like he was rolling in pee. He is not a cage dog I will recommend her 100% and rebook all the time”
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. I am aware that they have important basic needs to consider, such as bathroom time, meal time, walk time. If they need special care or to take any medication, I am also happy to fulfill them. I work remotely from home, so I'm available to provide objective, dedicated, and responsible care. I can answer your questions via text message. And if you decide to, give me a call; I'll be happy to help your furry friends. Abrir en They will be in my constant company. I have a living room with a dining room and an additional room, spacious spaces, and a small balcony in my apartment if they like to look outside. This would be accompanied by me, of course. They will never be alone. I am very affectionate with them. I can follow the routine you have planned (as similar as possible) to your pet's so that your absence is bearable and pleasant. Just write to me and tell me what you are looking for. I will be happy to help you.
About: Hello everyone! I am Cortenay, and from the age of 10 I have been caring passionately for animals. I have always felt that I have a special connection with them and understand them. Finally in my early twenties I began caring for them professionally at Mulberry Grove animal hospital. I started in the hospitals boarding wing where I provided personal around the clock care to all of the beautiful fur babies that came to stay. I fell in love with this being that caring for pets has always been my first love. My final chapter in the veterinary field was when I was promoted to a veterinary technician, where I administered medication and cared for special needs pets as well. In conclusion, I have made the decision to step out of the corporate world of care and actually be able to give "up close and personal" care for someones best friend/friends. Where we will be happy and comfortable together in the comforts of home. My schedule is open! If I have a spot open at the time and day that's convenient for you and your furry friend, I will gladly make it happen. I have a beautiful fluffy frenchie, and a short haired pointer. They are extremely friendly and structured dogs. My home is very spacious, and I have plenty of room for tail wagging visitors.
“I have had Bailey stay with Tifany and her family a couple of times, and each time she has ensured that Bailey felt right at home with her other pups! Tifany makes sure her home is clean and dog friendly. Tifany has an outdoor area also ready for the dogs to play and have fun. If they get dirty, Tifany washes them so they come home clean as well as exhausted. She communicates regularly throughout your dog’s stay with pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Tifany and her husband!”
“Karla took great care of my dog, Fig! She had so much fun she was excited to go back the next day for daycare. Karla did a great job communicating with me and sent pictures. I’d recommend her services!”
“My golden doodle, Brandy had her first sleep over with Charles and she loved it! While there, Brandy was treated like family. She was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I received pictures of Brandy and updates. The yard is incredibly big, fenced in, lots of shade. This is a perfect place for any dog to be!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shayla was wonderful! She communicated with me throughout the stay and even sent pics and videos which was great for this nervous dog momma. My dog warmed up to her immediately and seemed to be right at home. I would definitely recommend this dog sitter and plan to use her again the next time I’m in town ❤️”

“Lori has been just what I needed for my dog. My dog deals with separation anxiety when I’m out of the house for more than 5 hours. Now when I come home from golf, my dog is in a cheerful, playful mood. I thank Rover with connecting me with Lori and I thank Lori for being an awesome companion to my dog while I’m out of the house!”
“We can't recommend Joanna highly enough! She took wonderful care of Dee Dee and Callie, and her help was an incredible relief for our entire family. Joanna was always punctual, personable, efficient, and friendly. She was not only wonderful with our dogs, but also kind, patient, and thoughtful with my elderly father, which meant so much to us. Knowing our girls were in such caring and capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and truly goes above and beyond, Joanna is the person to call. We are so grateful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation!”

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.

About: I have always loved dogs and cats and always love being around them so I would love the opportunity to make you and your animals happy. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my 14-year-old dog and two cats every day, which includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, litter box maintenance, grooming when needed, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. Caring for senior pets has also taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, I am comfortable incorporating additional pets into my schedule and providing them with reliable, attentive care. 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s needs and personality. I carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, or special care requirements. I also make sure pets have a safe, clean environment and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away. 🐾💕

Jasper looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and it was obvious he received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. We truly appreciate the love and dedication Debra showed toward Jasper. We would not hesitate to trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter.

I can do early morning walks mid and and evening times too depending on the needs My home is pet proof I do have animals of my own and they love it when new friends come over to play. I do pet sit for friends when they have to go out of town. If you are more comfortable with me coming to you. I always respect your house and fur baby just like my own and keep things clean
“Alexus was great! She communicated with us. She sent us pictures and every time I checked in she responded, and she took very good care of our children!! She’s awesome I highly recommend her!”
“Tifany was incredible with our puppy! Only 2 months old and we had a last minute trip come up, she taught him new commands, took such great care of him and he was so excited to be there. We got pics and videos every day of him having fun and being loved. Already booked for future events when we are in need of a sitter. She also has a doggy hang out bus in her backyard which is so cool! Highly recommend!”
“Chrissy was very kind and understanding of our 15 year old dog Bailey . Bailey has never spent time with a babysitter. Chrissy was very reassuring and understanding of Baileys need for love and attention. Chrissy took the time to message and send pictures and video updates . We felt comfortable leaving Bailey with Chrissy. Chrissy sent Bailey home with a treat . We are thankful for her kindness and care, highly recommend her.”
“Janelly was very communicative and responsive with me during Asher & Sweetie’s stay with her. They both came home healthy and happy! We will definitely try to have them stay with Janelly next time we can take them with us”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“Melissa and Mike are amazing hosts! They look after our fur babies as if they are their own. We get regular updates and photos of the dogs and the dogs really enjoy their time with them. Melissa and Mike give us peace of mind that our dogs are well cared for and loved in our absence. We recommend them highly!”
“Clara had a great time with Peggy. She is a high energy dog and needs a place that is understanding of this and has a facility that is stimulating. Communication was top notch throughout the registration process (meet & greet, pre-boarding info, boarding time and post boarding).Peggy has a real interest and competency in dealing with animals. Clara came home safe, tired and well cared for, which is exactly why we booked with Peggy, I look forward to our next visit. I highly recommend her.”
“Krista is an amazing dog sitter. I felt so comfortable leaving my fur baby in her home and under her care. The communication was perfect, I got two updates a day with photos. Her home was safe and she had plenty for him to play with, a large fenced in yard, etc. My dog had so much fun and got so much love. I would absolutely recommend Krista to anyone in need of a dog sitter and I will definitely have her watch my dog again in the future. So grateful for her help and kindness, she clearly loves what she does and it shows.”
“Super sweet, lots of communication. I felt super comfortable leaving my baby. I got picture mail throughout, and could tell she and her family genuinely love and care about animals. Will definitely be using again!”
“Andrea is great to work with and provides the perfect place for my energetic Catahoulas. I was happy they had other friends to play with and had many squirrels and lizards to chase. They were completely worn out after their 2 night stay! I’d recommend Andrea to anyone! Thank you for everything!”
About: Hello everyone! I am Cortenay, and from the age of 10 I have been caring passionately for animals. I have always felt that I have a special connection with them and understand them. Finally in my early twenties I began caring for them professionally at Mulberry Grove animal hospital. I started in the hospitals boarding wing where I provided personal around the clock care to all of the beautiful fur babies that came to stay. I fell in love with this being that caring for pets has always been my first love. My final chapter in the veterinary field was when I was promoted to a veterinary technician, where I administered medication and cared for special needs pets as well. In conclusion, I have made the decision to step out of the corporate world of care and actually be able to give "up close and personal" care for someones best friend/friends. Where we will be happy and comfortable together in the comforts of home. My schedule is open! If I have a spot open at the time and day that's convenient for you and your furry friend, I will gladly make it happen. I have a beautiful fluffy frenchie, and a short haired pointer. They are extremely friendly and structured dogs. My home is very spacious, and I have plenty of room for tail wagging visitors.
