“Great communication and very honest. She took very good care of our Weimaraner and was attentive to her needs. I would definitely recommend Jerarlin to our family and friends. Thank you!”
“Nikhol is wonderful! She is so caring with my pup! She was able to train him in ways I could not. If you want your dog in a family friendly environment, I highly recommend Nikhol. I could have not been happier!”
“I highly recommend Kayla. She sticks to my dog’s feeding routine, keeps me updated with photos, and treats him like her own. It makes traveling so much less stressful.”
“Omg! Michael D. was so wonderful with my big red bone coonhound. He had lots of chill space and long exploring walks. I got daily pics showing what he was doing and he answered any contact I had with him promptly. I highly recommend this sitter. But don't take my spot😉”
“Rebecca is the prototype for dog sitters! My dog is always excited to see her and her family when he arrives, and he’s always happy and healthy when I pick him up. She operates in excellence in every way, and I get to be at peace knowing my fur baby boy is well taken care of while in her care! I will be a repeat customer for as long as I possibly can! Thank you Rebecca!”
“Choosing a pet sitter can be stressful, but Isa made the whole process seamless. She took care of my two dogs last weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From our initial meeting, it was clear that Isa is a true dog person. She listened carefully to my dogs' routines, quirks, and needs, making me feel immediately at ease. Throughout the weekend, she sent regular updates and photos, which really helped put my mind at rest while I was away. I came home to two very happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. Isa goes above and beyond, providing not just basic care but genuine affection and attention. I highly recommend Isa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. She is my go-to sitter from now on!”
“Kaitlin and her husband were absolutely amazing! I have 2 high energy, anxious pups that I am usually nervous to leave. After setting up a meet and greet a few weeks before my trip, I felt much more comfortable that my pups would be in good hands. One of the dogs had tummy issues while I was away and Kaitlin and her husband took the time to call the vet and make special food to help calm his issues down. They provided consistent updates and photos while I was away. 10 out of 10 would recommend Kaitlin and Kyle to anyone!”
“Idalis was amazing with our dog! She provided frequent updates and photos. Her family thoroughly enjoyed caring for him and he loved all of the attention. It's hard to find someone with such a genuine heart. The next time we need help with care for our dog, she will be the one for us. Thank you!!!”
“Connor was great and also shared pictures. Our dog had unexpected tummy issues when we dropped her off a day before we left and he was amazing taking care of her with a bland diet. We know it might have been tough but Connor was so gracious and understanding with the whole situation.”
“Carla was an amazing pet sitter for my dog! She took in my anxious Chiweenie at the last minute for a whole week. She was extremely gentle, kind, and patient with his occasional bad behavior. I loved getting her daily updates and pictures while I was away. Carla is a wonderful communicator, and I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our first time using Rover and first time having a pet sitter. Normally we would take our fur babies on the road with us but was not able to this time. Rubie is amazing, she was willing to take our last minute request for a sitter for our pit bull and sent us photos daily with a update on how he was doing. Will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“Judi did an amazing job caring for our two Chihuahuas! She and her husband are so loving. Staying in an unfamiliar place with new people can be very stressful for our little dogs. Judi went above and beyond to ensure they felt comfortable and loved. She took the time to find out about their routine, likes, and dislikes. One of our dogs is almost blind and Judi used her own throw pillows to make a soft barrier so Leah wouldn't run into their sliding glass doors. We could tell from the photos that our dogs felt safe and comfortable. We highly recommend Judi as a care giver!!”
“I had to go to Utah for a week and left my dog with Alexander, he constantly sent updates along with pictures to let me know how Chewie was doing every single day. If I ever need to go out of town again I will definitely have Alexander watch Chewie again!!!”
“Li was great in her care of our cat. She provided daily updates and even let our cat partake in a bit of holiday celebration dressing up. Even though she had two pets of her own she made sure our cat felt comfortable during her stay. I definitely recommend her and her family as they are great clients here on rover.”

“I recently hired Caroline to care for my cat, Finley, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was punctual, arriving right on time for each visit, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Finley was well taken care of, with all her needs met, including her daily medication, which can be tricky to administer. Caroline handled it flawlessly, ensuring Finley stayed happy and healthy. She also went above and beyond by leaving a thoughtful little gift for Finley—a new cat toy she absolutely loves! Caroline’s professionalism, reliability, and extra touch of kindness made this a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Finley and I are grateful!”
“We were nervous about finding a new pet sitter after recently moving to the area, but Carrie immediately put us at ease. It was clear how much she loves animals and that she has experience caring for multiple household pets. She kept us updated each day we were away, and sent pictures of our fur-babies who we were missing so much! We would love to use her services again in the future. -Renee”
“Kayla was organized, on time and friendly to my boys. She dealt so well with my nerves leaving them alone first time in 5 yrs—she was patient with the fur mama. Haha, very grateful to have found her. She went the extra mile. Thank you!”

And they were. The photo updates were fun and reassuring. We highly recommend. We will be calling on Evelyn the next time we gone. She brought us lots of peace of mind and Oz loved her. Many thanks!”
About: I currently live with three cats — two young sisters and a 15-year-old sweetheart who has taught me everything about gentle senior care. I understand cat behavior, independence, and the trust it takes for a cat to warm up to someone new.

“I left my dog with Feliska while work was being done on my house. The work took longer than expected and she was very understanding about that. She kept her a few extra hours and was very pleasant about it too. That helped relieved some of my stress about the situation.”
About: Hi, I’m Carrie! I’ve been around animals my whole life - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits, and even a frog! I currently have a dog and two cats of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust when you can’t be there. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! As a pet parent myself, I’m already used to scheduling my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of cuddles.

About: I love animals and dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve had dogs growing up and in all my adult life.

All pups must be up to date with vet care and free of fleas/ticks for their stay with us 💕 I have been working remotely for the past 8 years. I am home all day during the week with a few scheduled outings some weekends for church and other planned events. Typically only take 1 additional dog at a time unless they come from the same home. Will make accommodations for my regular customers if dog behaviors align. I have a 7 yr old bully breed who has shared his home multiple times with fosters and family dogs.
“My rescued doxie, Buzzi, loves staying with Judi. When we get to her home, Judi opens the door and Buzzi waltzes in like it's her house. I'm pleased that my separation anxiety, stressed, little girl feels so at ease with Judi. I highly recommend Judi, and Rover.”

I provide a customized care for your pupper. I host puppies, adult dogs as well as senior dogs and care for them. I can walk your dog, play fetch, give them medication as per their schedule. I host one dog at a time so I can give my full attention to your dog's needs. I currently don't have my own pets so your dog will rule my household! I don't keep kennels at home. If your dog needs one, please let me know and we can discuss how to manage that ask. There are no cats, kids or chaos in my home providing a peaceful place for your dog while you are away. I will send updates and pictures as frequently as you request.

About: I have two dogs of my own with completely different personalities, which has taught me how important it is to adjust care based on each dog’s unique temperament. One may be more energetic and playful while the other is calmer or more reserved, so I understand how to read body language, respect boundaries, and provide the right balance of exercise, structure, and affection for each individual dog. Growing up in a home that cared for 20+ cats also helped me become very attentive to animal behavior overall, and I’ve cared for multiple people’s pets, making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and aware that every pet has different needs-whether that’s extra playtime, a steady routine, or a little extra reassurance. My goal is always to make your dog feel secure, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind!🐾💕🐶🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕 My partner and I have different schedules meaning that someone is always home or someone is always available.

Boarding- As of right now, we are in a one bedroom apartment that we can take care of your pet in the same or separated room if needed for space. We also have a large sized crate if your pet feels more comfortable in a crate. In the end of April, we will have a two bedroom apartment and will have an our second bedroom made as a pet hotel that will make your cat or dog feel comfortable and safe!

“***** that's 5 more to make 10. Charli and her family-the human and furry kind-far exceeded my expectations! Several videos and updates. She worked hard to help my somewhat new rescue come out of her shell...and was beyond successful! She speaks our language! By the time I got back after 8hrs, Athena was conflicted about whether she wanted to stay or go. She has a gift to be cherished! Thank you!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and pets have been a constant in my life for about a decade… from caring for my family’s dogs when I lived with my parents to helping friends and neighbors with both dogs and cats. These days I continue pet sitting partly to help support my family and partly because I truly enjoy the companionship and the built‑in excuse to get outside for walks. My daughter is a teen now and not as involved with dog sitting as she used to be, but she still enjoys helping out with our feline guests, especially shy or quieter cats. When you book with me, you’re primarily getting my care and attention, with occasional “bonus” help from her for cat visits. While you’re away, I’m happy to send photos and short updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel at ease. I respond quickly to messages and do my best to reply within an hour whenever possible. My home is smoke‑free. If your dates show as unavailable on my calendar, feel free to reach out anyway… sometimes I can adjust my schedule or make exceptions for the right fit. I currently work a hybrid schedule. On most days I’m home and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and potty breaks. Two days a week I go into the office, but those days are flexible and I do my best to plan them around bookings whenever I can. I may occasionally step out briefly for errands or to drop off/pick up my daughter. During those times, your pet will either relax safely at home (following your crate/house rules) or, if appropriate and allowed, join me for a short car ride. If your pet has a specific routine or time‑sensitive needs, let me know in advance and I’ll be upfront about how my schedule lines up so we can be sure it’s a great fit. My priority is keeping your pet’s day as predictable and low‑stress as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I keep a clean, calm home and always supervise pets when they’re outside or interacting with other animals. Doors and gates are checked carefully, walks are on secure leashes, and I follow your rules for crates, furniture, and feeding so your pet has a familiar routine. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your instructions closely, double‑check that your home is locked and secure, and keep you updated so you always know how things are going. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, understood, and well cared for.

About: I have one dog that is turning 5 and have had her for over 4 years. I have taken care of other dogs in the family as well. I also have stayed over nights for extended family pets! I'm currently working part-time and in school Monday and Wednesday mornings. So I still have lots of time to spend with your pets! The safety and comfortability of your pet is my number one priority. So I will do my best to give them time to get used to me and prevent anxiety. I take my dog on several walks during the day when it isn't too hot (don't wanna burn any pet paws!) And I play with her all throughout the day. We practice tricks I've taught her and we snuggle up on the couch!
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. my first true bond was with my childhood dog, who taught me the meaning of unconditional love. Later, I worked hands on with multiple dogs at a professional daycare and cared for private clients, including senior dogs needing special attention with meals, medication, and gentle handling. Every pet I meet isn’t just another visit, they become part of my heart and I honor them. I believe in creating real connection, patience, and a true feeling of home. I treat every pet like family, focusing on their comfort, safety, and emotional well being. Your pet’s heart matters to me as much as their paws. Right now I’m in a moment of my life where I’m trying to find the right balance between working and going to college, while still doing something that actually feels meaningful. I’m studying to become a first responder, which has taught me how important it is to be reliable, present, and calm in any situation. That’s why pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine. The schedule gives me the flexibility I need while letting me do something that genuinely fills my heart. I decided to come back to pet sitting because I remember exactly how it made me feel (connected, grounded, and full of purpose). Every morning and early afternoon, I dedicate just for them. I’m not just fitting pets into my day but I’m building my day around them, because they deserve real attention, patience, and care. Your pets aren’t just another stop in my schedule. They’re part of why I’m building a life with heart. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat both their space and their pets with the same level of respect and attention I would give to my own family. In the past, I’ve built strong trust with my private clients because they could feel how carefully I handled everything. From feeding, to medication, to keeping their home clean, calm, and safe for their pets. Pets notice the way we move and the way we treat their space, so I always approach their home with patience, calmness, and respect. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure, loved, and relaxed in their familiar environment, and that you feel complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I absolutely love animals! I have two affectionate cats and they are both rescued. It's important to love and respect animals because they are like family. I'm a former teacher so I have a lot of patience with kids, but especially with animals. I only want what's best for animals and hope you consider me. I open to long dog walks and even taking them to the dog parks. I love being nature and open to any suggestions that make help and benefit your animal. I’m currently off for the summer until the beginning of August, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m generally available from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I’m happy to make accommodations when needed to help meet your schedule and your pet’s needs. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly 3-year-old husky who enjoys being around other dogs. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks or even trips to the dog park for extra exercise and enrichment. I always bring fresh cold water and dog treats during outings, and I kindly ask owners to let me know about any allergies, dietary restrictions, or preferences so I can make sure their pet stays safe and comfortable. I love keeping pet owners updated while they’re away and can provide fun photos and videos throughout your pet’s stay if requested. My goal is to make owners feel connected and give them peace of mind while their pets are having a safe, happy, and fun experience.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have loved and cared for dogs since the age of 10. I spend my time volunteering at local shelters and have been trained to handle rescue dogs with various behavioral issues. I have almost 2 decades of experience caring for puppies as well as adult, senior and hospice dogs. I'm a kind, adaptable caregiver who will work with your pet's specialized needs. If you have a high energy dog, I can get them all their fun and play so they eat well and sleep well! While with me, I can reinforce the obedience , teach them basic obedience and teach a few tricks if they are up to it! I work part time online and am available for your pet at home 100% of the time. On need basis I may step out for minor chores. Depending on your dog's needs or limitations, I can make arrangement for the pupper while I'm away for short duration (like keep them in a contained room or take them with me ). I provide a customized care for your pupper. I host puppies, adult dogs as well as senior dogs and care for them. I can walk your dog, play fetch, give them medication as per their schedule. I host one dog at a time so I can give my full attention to your dog's needs. I currently don't have my own pets so your dog will rule my household! I don't keep kennels at home. If your dog needs one, please let me know and we can discuss how to manage that ask. There are no cats, kids or chaos in my home providing a peaceful place for your dog while you are away. I will send updates and pictures as frequently as you request.
About: Please make sure you READ everything before booking me. I recently got a dog 1 year ago, and I've trained him multiple tricks in just a few weeks, my dog has been in the dog park multiple times, I take my dog on walks and I know how to handle him when or if he starts barking at people or other dogs passing by. Keep in mind I own a 1 year old chiweenie so he is relatively a small dog but, I have walked and still do sometimes walk a medium and large dog, though most of my dog walking experience is from my own dog. As for general pet care experience I do own my cat I have had for 12 years. I'm available 5 days a week, I enjoy and I'm up for walking dogs around in nature safely. 5 days could increase in the future. I’m usually available to dog walk around 12am-7pm on the days I can. For safety and personal reasonings I Do Not enter homes I only accept outdoor handoffs. As for dog safety, trust & environment I will do my absolute best to make sure your dog returns safely. I will watch out for any people, cars, other dogs etc.. Its my goal for your dog to return safely and happy.

“Great communication and very honest. She took very good care of our Weimaraner and was attentive to her needs. I would definitely recommend Jerarlin to our family and friends. Thank you!”
“Nikhol is wonderful! She is so caring with my pup! She was able to train him in ways I could not. If you want your dog in a family friendly environment, I highly recommend Nikhol. I could have not been happier!”
“I highly recommend Kayla. She sticks to my dog’s feeding routine, keeps me updated with photos, and treats him like her own. It makes traveling so much less stressful.”
“Omg! Michael D. was so wonderful with my big red bone coonhound. He had lots of chill space and long exploring walks. I got daily pics showing what he was doing and he answered any contact I had with him promptly. I highly recommend this sitter. But don't take my spot😉”
“Kaitlin and her husband were absolutely amazing! I have 2 high energy, anxious pups that I am usually nervous to leave. After setting up a meet and greet a few weeks before my trip, I felt much more comfortable that my pups would be in good hands. One of the dogs had tummy issues while I was away and Kaitlin and her husband took the time to call the vet and make special food to help calm his issues down. They provided consistent updates and photos while I was away. 10 out of 10 would recommend Kaitlin and Kyle to anyone!”
“Connor was great and also shared pictures. Our dog had unexpected tummy issues when we dropped her off a day before we left and he was amazing taking care of her with a bland diet. We know it might have been tough but Connor was so gracious and understanding with the whole situation.”
“Carla was an amazing pet sitter for my dog! She took in my anxious Chiweenie at the last minute for a whole week. She was extremely gentle, kind, and patient with his occasional bad behavior. I loved getting her daily updates and pictures while I was away. Carla is a wonderful communicator, and I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our first time using Rover and first time having a pet sitter. Normally we would take our fur babies on the road with us but was not able to this time. Rubie is amazing, she was willing to take our last minute request for a sitter for our pit bull and sent us photos daily with a update on how he was doing. Will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“I had to go to Utah for a week and left my dog with Alexander, he constantly sent updates along with pictures to let me know how Chewie was doing every single day. If I ever need to go out of town again I will definitely have Alexander watch Chewie again!!!”
“Mara & Marco kept my dog for several nights and did a great job! They sent photos & updates and communicated promptly when I texted them. I will definitely call them again whenever I go out of town!”
“I had such a great experience with Elizabeth! She was super accommodating and made everything so easy. Everyone was so sweet to my dog, and I could tell he was really comfortable and well cared for. When I came to pick him up, he was so happy but the funniest part is he actually walked back to her door and waited like he wanted to stay longer! That alone says everything. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“From dropping our Koda off to picking her up was a very pleasant experience. House very clean, her fur babies and family were very welcoming to her stay. Koda came back with a giant smile on her face!!! Very communicative and shared the best pictures. Koda didn’t come home with any new bad behaviors traits lol. We will be 100% rebooking with her again soon.”
“Krista came through for me in an emergency and took a same day booking. I really appreciate it. It made it possible for me to rush to my dad in the ICU in my hometown. My dogs were safe and happy, and I was able to focus on my dad. Thank you again!”
“Alexandra was great with my Milo. From the moment Milo met her he was excited!! She updated me with pictures while I was away!! Definitely would recommend Alexandra to watch your fur baby!! She was awesome with mine!!”
“Alex and Daphne are AMAZING. They always take great care of my dog and I always feel comfortable leaving him with them (and im picky) I have used them a few times now and every time is top-notch care 🙏🏼”
