“Bobbie Jo was great with my dog and I will definitely be coming back. We travel often and it’s wonderful to know I have somewhere for my pet to stay that he enjoys and I know he is so well taken care of. Thanks so much Bobbi Jo!”
“James was very accommodating to our schedule, answered messages quickly, and sent plenty of updates/pictures. Clementine needed a medicinal spray and by the time we came back: her ears were pretty much healed from James spraying her everyday (and we all know how much cats like to be sprayed). We are grateful her needs were met, but also that James respected her enough to give her space to be a cat. As much as we missed her, we knew she was in good hands. We highly recommend James, and will most definitely be asking him to watch our cat again during future travel. Thanks for everything!”
“Our dog, Newmie, had the best time staying with Jennifer and her sweet dogs for the long weekend. We got plenty of pictures and updates showing us how much fun he was having, and how relaxed he seemed. I will definitely use her again next time we are up her way! Thank you for the great care and communication!”
“Awesome experience with Thomas. He is very kind and super responsive. Ziggy had the time of his life. I give him my strongest recommendation and will definitely be back!”
“My dog enjoyed her time playing with their dogs, and they even got her some Christmas present chew toys to play with. They kept me updated during my 7 day Christmas vacation and had no issues whatsoever. Will be happy to use their dog boarding services again!”
“One of my dogs looked confused when it was time to go home, so I can tell they enjoyed their stay with Suzanne and her family. She was warm and inviting, and communicated the entire stay. I’m hoping her schedule allows for them to stay with her for future travels.”
“Highly recommend! Secure fenced property with lots of room for the dogs to run and play. Kept us updated on a regular basis. Our Goldendoodle’s felt right at home I’m not even sure they missed us. Chelsea will definitely be our go to sitter!”
“Erica was absolutely fantastic! Both dogs looked so happy in all the pictures while we were gone. They'll definitely be going back any time we need someone to watch them.”
“Cassandra was amazing with my dog. She provided constant updates and communication, and she also sent me a picture everyday which I loved. Love the fact that she has a fenced in backyard so he could run around and still give me a piece of mind. All in all, 5-star option here with Cassandra, and I’d trust her with any pet! We’ll definitely be back soon :)”
“My dogs were boarded for rhe 1st time ever, so naturally my anxiety was high. Khalia was referral from a friend that I trust. Khalia was calm and patient. She also kept me connected by sending me videos and pictures of my boys. I would recommend her and will be using her again in the near future.”
“Zenaida watched our 8 month old husky while we were out of town, and we felt at ease knowing he was being well taken care of. She kept us updated on his stay, and he had a great time!”
“Ms. Suzy is hands down the absolute best sitter on Rover! We had a last-minute work trip and were initially anxious about leaving our Frenchies with someone new, but Ms. Suzy immediately put us at ease. Before our trip, she let us come over for a meet-and-greet so our dogs could get comfortable with her and her sweet dog, Molly. Throughout our trip, her communication was a solid 10/10—we received daily updates and photos, allowing us to focus entirely on work without a single worry. Frenchies are full of personality and high-energy, our girls definitely tested their boundaries. Frenchies can be a handful with all their energy and stubborn quirks, but Ms. Suzy handled our girls with endless patience and genuine affection. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for allowed us to handle our business trip without stressing for a second. She went above and beyond in every way. Before we even got back home, I had already asked her to watch them for our next trip! If you are looking for an attentive, trustworthy, and incredibly loving sitter, book Ms. Suzy immediately. (Also, I am so glad Rover allows tipping, because the level of care she provides is worth every single penny and then some!) If I could give Ms. Suzy 100 stars, I would! Leaving your fur babies is always stressful, but Ms. Suzy made this a completely worry-free experience from start to finish. Ms. Suzy is exceptional! We boarded our dogs with her for five days, and she kept us informed every step of the way, allowing us to truly relax during our trip. We had experienced a past loss with a previous sitter and were extremely hesitant to leave our pets again, but meeting Suzy and Molly completely relieved our stress. Her frequent check-ins provided total peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with her again whenever she has availability!"”
“Cherie is fantastic! I kept having to extend my time needed for a pet sitter as I’m moving and she had no problem still seeing my kitties. Cherie spent time with my cats and went above and beyond to refill their water towers and clean their litter boxes. She ensured my home was safe and secure and I can tell my kitties loved her. Thank you so much Cherie!”
“We couldn’t have picked a better person to keep Lulu when we went on vacation for a week! The picture updates, the videos, the daily feedback on how she was doing. I would absolutely recommend Jen to anyone! We are so thankful for her and her family! You will not find a better sitter for your dog!”
About: Hello, I grew up on a farm in Ohio with cows, horses, chickens, cats and of course dogs. I have had pets my entire life. I've raised four children and we ran the gauntlet of pets from snakes and lizards to birds and fish. Presently I am employed at a Vet Clinic, where I worked in the kennel for a year. I now help out in treatment and monitoring in surgery. I have been employed there going on four years. I recently lost two of my geriatric pets which broke my heart but I still have two geriatric cats at home(One that I inherited from my mom). I can't imagine ever being without a pet. They bring so much joy. Thank you for visiting my page. I am retired so I have lots of free time! So I am looking for some fur friends! Animals bring joy to my life!❤️ Thanks! I do have a fenced yard and a room for cats! It’s just me so not a lot of traffic for escapees. Thank you. Hope to meet your fur babies soon!
About: My parents had dogs before I was born so I have never lived without dogs. I share my house now with my two dogs, and I am very lucky to work from home where I can be with them all day. In addition, I spent many years volunteering with a local shelter where I was a dog walker, an adoption counselor, a foster dog mom, and assisted with training classes. If you have a dog care need outside of what I have set as what I will accept, contact me because I may be able to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. My schedule revolves around my dogs. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an enclosed porch, but they do spend most of their time indoors with me. When I am home, they go out every 3-4 hours, and if I am away, which is not often, I do not leave them for more than 8 hours. I am not scheduling for more than 3 months out, but if you have a specific date request beyond that, contact me and I can look at options. When I host your dog at my home, he or she will be treated like part of the family. I feed my dogs twice a day, and they go out every 3-4 hours when I am not home, or more often if needed. On sunny days, my dogs also enjoy laying on my enclosed porch where I have a few dog beds set up for them. The feeding and potty schedule for your dog is up to you, so please communicate that with me if it would be different from my own dogs. On the rare occasions where I need to leave for doctor appointments or family events, I would crate your dog, or alternately, secure your dog in a small room using a baby gate if you dog cannot tolerate crating. I have two bad shoulders, and therefore I do not walk dogs, but your dog would get plenty of play time with my dogs in my house and in my yard. While I try to not have dogs on the furniture, it doesn't always work out that way, but I do have multiple dog beds in every room of my home. I also have designated areas of the couch where my dogs are allowed. I would require you to bring a leash and your dog's food when you drop him or her off. In terms of in-home visits to care for your dog, I will be sure to let them out, feed them, make sure they have water, administer medications as required, and spend about 15 minutes with them in snuggles or playtime. As mentioned above, I have two bad shoulders so I am not able to walk your dog.

“Destiny cat sat our cat while we were out of town for 10 days. She came over daily to feed our cat, play with her, and keep her company. She left our home spotless and even washed the cat bowl and swept up the cat litter that our cat kicks out of her litter box before our return. She also send us videos and pictures regularly so our minds were put to ease that our cat was taken care of back home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone reliable and responsible to come over to petsit their fur baby.”
“I was new to Rover and used BobbieJo because of good reviews and repeat customers. She provided daily pics and texts. I was happy to see a note on the counter welcoming me home....so sweet.”

I have a very flexible schedule and would love to be able to have the opportunity to get to know your sweet babies and love on them! I would give them 24/7 attention and attend to their needs.

About: Hi! If your cat prefers quiet company, gentle attention, or someone who understands their quirks—I’m your person! I’ve grown up around cats and love getting to know their unique personalities. I’m 19 and have a super flexible schedule, so I’m available for drop-ins, extended care, and last-minute bookings. I’m happy to give updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands. Whether your cat wants to play or just be admired from afar, I’ll make sure they’re happy and comfortable!
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my gran, who had a German Shepherd, a rescue mixed-breed from Ireland. Since moving to America, I’ve rescued two pups from a local animal shelter. I’ve had my oldest for over two years and my youngest for just over six months. They’re both under three, full of energy, and bring me so much joy every day! My mum has also had a dog since I was 13, and being away from her after moving made me realize how much I wanted dogs of my own. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. Pet care is my full-time job, so I have the flexibility to dedicate my time and attention to every pet in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I understand how important routine and consistency are, and I’ll do my best to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all of your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and bedtime routines, while making sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, respect your space, and send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a young child. I routinely keep my family and friend’s animals while they are busy or just for fun!

Extra lovings and playtime is taken serious 😊 In your home I will diligently work with your animals the way that you need me too! I cannot wait to meet you and your baby.
“Hannah was super nice and professional! She sent me a LOT of pictures and they were all so cute!! I know my fur babies were well taken care of while I was out of town. Thanks so much Hannah!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their dogs including feeding, walking, and playing! I am a part-time student and I work part-time as well. I am available Tuesday-Friday early mornings-3pm for walks, playtime, sitting. I am available Monday-Thursday nights for overnight sitting! I have a large area around my house that is completely fenced for dogs and cats alike to run around, relax and play safely. I also am a careful and loving caretaker. I will treat your home and pets with the same level of care plus more!
“If there was an award to provide for the care that was provided, Cherie would be top winner! We would certainly book her again because of her timeliness, attention to detail and simply the care she gave our babies while away.”
About: I've cared for cats for many years, including my own three cats as well as cats belonging to my friends and family! I'm experienced with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and recognizing each cat's unique personality and needs. I understand many cats are outgoing while others are shy, so i.m patient and take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. I'll always treat your cat with the same love, care, and attention I give my own!
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have over 10 years of experience caring for them. I’ve taken care of my sister’s cats (8 cats at once), my friend’s cats (4 cats), and my aunt’s cat, often for extended periods while they were away. This has given me experience managing multiple cats with different personalities and routines at the same time. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure each cat gets the attention and care they need. I’m patient with shy cats, enjoy engaging with playful ones, and understand how important consistency and a calm environment are for their well-being. My goal is always to make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have tons of experience caring for dogs and cats of all types temperaments and ages. I worked as a dog walker/ sitter in Atlanta GA, Brooklyn NY and Burlington VT and was a “pack leader” at a large doggy boarding/ daycare for 4 years before moving back down South in 2020. Keeping pets safe is second nature to me, as I’ve basically seen it all! I’ve cared for hundreds of dogs and cats and cherish my experiences with pets and their owners. I have a very flexible schedule with the ability to work from home, so could accommodate anxious pets, the very young and the very old! I live alone in a house with lots of space and can provide fun country walks. Also I’d be happy to stay with your pet at your home and follow any routine they’re used to. Bonus: I’m a houseplant care person too!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats. I love animals and hope to have my own boarding services some day. My plan is to finish school and save up enough money to have a animal day care!

I am always happy to meet your fur babies before you leave. I love to get to know your pet and make sure we are both in safe environments before we start. I always have lots of questions before you leave!

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a young child! Even when I was barely four feet tall, I delighted in taking care of, feeding, walking, and of course playing with our pups! And now as an adult, I have 2 rescue dogs that I have trained up and loved on (one a senior dog and one a puppy). Caring for dogs truly gives me joy and allows me to pour into others and give back. We don’t deserve dogs, but I sure am grateful we get to share our lives with them! I work full time from home and have complete flexibility with my work schedule. Leaves me time to feed the dogs, let the dogs out in the back yard, and ample amount of play time! I have a fully fenced in back yard with over half an acre for the dogs to play. The outdoor space has ample amount of grass with plenty of squirrels to chase.
“Sadie’s friends Beau and Bella (black labs) we’re visiting and we needed day care for the week. Bobbie Jo was the perfect solution. She took such care of them and her property was the absolute dream place for the pups. They were tired and happy when I picked them up. She spoiled them so much I was worried they would want to stay!! Plus Bobbie Jo is a wonderful delight. I will always depend on her for taking care of my fur babies. Thank you Bobbie Jo!!!!”
About: I've had pets nearly my whole life. I absolutely love dogs and cats. How anyone could mistreat an animal is beyond me. I will give the best care to your pet. I retired a year ago although I'm only 53. I have plenty of time and I love animals so I decided to pet sit and board. I have a big back yard that is fenced in. I also have dog beds in my home. I have central heat and air so your pet will be comfortable in my home.
“Sara was incredible! She responded to communication quickly. Her home is so clean. The yard is fully fenced. She had a calm and reassuring manner with my 2 young Cavachons who were extremely nervous since they have never been separated from me for more than a few hours since I work from home. I could not have been any happier and will definitely have Sara watch my girls again once our move to the area is complete.”
“Champ had another awesome stay with Chelsea and her adorable family. He loves them all and we do too! So happy to have them in our lives. Champ is an only dog so not only are we relieved to have such a great option for sitting, we are so happy he has a great new puppy friend to play with! He comes home happy and tired!!”
About: Hello! My name is Hannah and I am an animal science major. Animals have always been my passion. From the time I was a little girl I have always loved animals! I have always had many pets! I love animals more than anything in this world and being able to care for them medically has always been a dream. You fur baby will be in great hands. I will make sure they are well fed, walked, given water, and all the snuggles. I am available during the mornings, afternoons, and night for visits, walks, playtime, etc. I am *unavailable* to do over night stays but will be more than willing to do drop in visits and treat your fur baby like my own. Pet care is a part of my daily life and has been for as long as I can remember. I take great pride into caring for others. Please provide details on if your fur baby is kenneled, placed in his/her “room”, etc. what treats/toys are allowed. If your home does not have a fence please let me know if there’s any neighborhood pets to look for.
“Sean has been a great sitter! Prompt communication and is easy and flexible with my working hours. For a new puppy mom and first time user to the Rover app, it was super easy and trusted Sean to take care of my little guy, he even got some training and socializing with other people and dogs in! Will continue to use Rover + Sean when needed!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for 30 years. I am an intuitive, attentive caregiver for pets and people alike. I know that your pet's physical and mental well-being are equally important and recognize that sometimes we just need a little extra. Sometimes it's a walk, sometimes it's a belly rub. Whatever it is I love to figure out and help those in my care feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom of three older children with a flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate a pet's needs into my day-to-day routine. I am available to watch pets throughout the weekend, but do not accept Saturday drop-offs. Friday drop-offs must be by 4:30pm. I have a fenced back yard with lots of shade and a deck. Dogs are welcome inside. I have three indoor/outdoor cats. As long as your pup won't try to eat them, we'll be fine ;) I regularly walk every day and can walk or run your pup as needed!
About: I have had an infatuation with animals since I was a kid and have had plenty of experience throughout my years. I took a job at PetSmarts Hotel, where I learned how to properly bath/nail grind, take care of all sorts of pups and cats. I have dealt with senior dogs who need more attention to rescue pups who need love. I fall in love with animals very easily. I work from home M-F and have the flexibility to oversee pups as they enjoy quality time from a human. I naturally have the dog mom instinct and will always make sure the love is shown to all . I have a fenced in yard and can crate when needed. I own a medium intact jack russell terrier who is 6 years old now but full of energy to keep any pup entertained if I am busy with work.

About: As a dog lover, I understand how important it is to give your furry friend the best care possible. Having been a pet sitter for my friends’ dogs, I’ve gained valuable experience in administering medication and sticking to a strict routine. Unfortunately, my fur babies passed away recently, leaving a void in my home and heart. So, I’m excited to open up my home and help others with their adorable pups 💕 As an avid walker, I know how crucial exercise is for our four-legged friends. I’m always looking for an opportunity to hit the pavement, and what better way than to do so with a loyal doggo by my side? I’m confident that I can give your dog the exercise and care they deserve. So, if you need someone reliable and enthusiastic to take care of your furry family member, I’m here for you! As a homeschooling parent, we have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of our time at home. We have plenty of space for your furry friends to run and play, as well as quiet spaces for them to relax and nap. Our schedule is relaxed, and we always have plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and playtime. As an animal lover, I understand the importance of making sure your pets are healthy and happy. When your pets stay with me, they will receive all the love, care, and attention they need to thrive. Whether you need to leave your pets with me for a few hours or a few days, you can be sure that they will be in the best of hands. I have a fully fenced-in yard that provides the perfect playground for all of your furry companions. 💕 I know the pups love a little time to play outside and bask in the sun while enjoying some fresh air! I also understand that safety is important, which is why I do require a crate for your pet. While they have free rein of the yard and house during the day, I am able to keep them safe and secure in their crates at night or whenever the need arises.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels—including senior pups—I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, accommodating special routines, and offering the extra patience and gentleness that older dogs often need. Whether it’s slow strolls, cozy cuddles, or keeping up with daily care, I treat every dog like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in a calm, familiar environment. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether it’s regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just companionship. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I’m able to accommodate feeding times, medications, and any special care needs with ease. Because I plan my day around the pets I care for, you can trust they’ll get the time, love, and attention they deserve. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can relax and feel secure. We have a fully fenced yard for plenty of outdoor play and potty breaks, and pets are always supervised. Our home is kid-friendly, calm, and welcoming—perfect for dogs who enjoy gentle companionship. I have one sweet, well-behaved female beagle who gets along great with other dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and walking needs. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers quiet cuddles, I ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve had farm and pet animals my whole life; cats, dogs, horses, and many more. I’m comfortable with large and small animals and have been trusted by close friends and family to care for their pets, as well as clients who I’ve been referred to. My schedule is constantly changing, but with this I am very flexible. If you give me a message, I am happy to get back to you and we can call and chat about my availability. When at a client’s home I make sure I’m fully up to speed with the client regarding their pets’ routines so I know how to properly care for them in the home.
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Hans. We immediately felt like he was welcomed into your home! Your daily reports and pictures helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Hans was having a great vacation of his own. We can tell that you guys are dog people because of the great care that Hans received. In the future, we won't have to worry about leaving town because we know that Hans will be in awesome hands. Thanks so much!”
About: I was raised on a dairy farm, and I've always had a soft spot for animals. I've had dogs for as long as I can remember, and my pups live the good life. Yours can too! I've got plenty of experience taking care of older dogs. No worries about things like CCD, incontinence, special diets, or medications - I've got it all covered! Thank you for your consideration I am a stay-at-home mum to my dogs. My life revolves around my dogs. The first potty break is at 5 AM. Yours will fit in just fine. I have a fenced-in backyard but also an acre of unfenced yard that I use to walk dogs on leash. It's a great place for dogs to go and explore new smells.

“I can’t say enough great things about Thomas! He was able to accommodate me last minute, which I really appreciated. I boarded Jasper with him for a night, and since it was my first time leaving Jasper overnight I was nervous — but Thomas put me completely at ease. He sent photo updates throughout the stay, and Jasper absolutely loved playing with his dogs in the fenced-in yard. The experience was so great that I brought Jasper back again for daycare, and once again it went perfectly. As a pet parent, it’s always tough to trust someone else with our fur babies, but the moment you meet Thomas you can feel how much he loves dogs and that he’ll treat yours like his own. I had no doubt Jasper was in great hands the entire time. Highly recommend!”

I am comfortable providing oral medications and anything else that your pet may need. My farm family consists two German shorthaired pointers, 1 indoor cat, 3 outdoor cats, a herd of 40 sheep, and 2 Great Pyrenees that protect my sheep. I have extensive experience caring for a variety of different animals and personalities. You can rest assured that your pets will be treated as if they were my own. You’re furry friends are welcome to sleep on my couches, beds, or cuddle up with one of my furry friends. However, if you’re pet prefers a crate or needs their own area to decompress, I have multiple rooms and crates in my house to accommodate their needs. You will receive daily updates and pictures of your pets. I’m committed to maintaining their routines and keeping them happy. I currently work away from home 7-3pm Monday-Thursday and 7-12pm on Fridays. I am open for boarding starting Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. I am willing to make accommodations for weekday stays as well. I have a fenced in backyard as well as a 15 acre pasture that your pet will be welcome to enjoy and explore if desired. Having 2 high energy dogs of my own, I am able to provide the additional stimulation and exercise required to keep them happy and healthy.
About: I've been taking care of dogs for many years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I've helped with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm attentive to each dog's personal routine and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and clear communications with pet owners! Pets care fits naturally into my routine. As a collage student, I have a flexible schedule, with classes only three days out of the week for a very short time. This allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and quality time with pets. When caring for pets in a clients home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications (if needed), exercise, and special care requirements. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while respecting their individual boundaries. I also treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I'll provide regular photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while your away!
About: I grew up around dogs. I got my first dog when I was born, and we grew up together. Dog sitting over the years has been a wonderful and enriching experience for me. Spending time with different breeds, each with their own unique personalities, has taught me a lot about canine behavior and care. i’m currently an active student athlete in college. But whenever I’m home, I’m spending my days with my four dogs. If you see my calendar open, please go ahead and book me and please let me to spend my days with your dog animals. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have a big back yard and front yard. many dog crates + Dog bowls. We have a trail to walk the dogs on so they can get exercise.
“Hannah does very well with my dog. While she’s there, she’ll play with him in the backyard & take him on a short walk. Hannah even makes sure he has enough food and water before she leaves. She’s very professional and will take care of your fur baby like they are her own!”
About: I have tons of experience caring for dogs and cats of all types temperaments and ages. I worked as a dog walker/ sitter in Atlanta GA, Brooklyn NY and Burlington VT and was a “pack leader” at a large doggy boarding/ daycare for 4 years before moving back down South in 2020. Keeping pets safe is second nature to me, as I’ve basically seen it all! I’ve cared for hundreds of dogs and cats and cherish my experiences with pets and their owners. I have a very flexible schedule with the ability to work from home, so could accommodate anxious pets, the very young and the very old! I live alone in a house with lots of space and can provide fun country walks. Also I’d be happy to stay with your pet at your home and follow any routine they’re used to. Bonus: I’m a houseplant care person too!

About: I’ve grew up with all ages of dogs and I know how to take care of them no matter the age. I enjoy to help a dog live its best life. I currently work a very flexible job so I’m free to babysit or take care of the animal no matter the time or day. My job allows me to take whatever time I need to.

“Bobbie Jo was great with my dog and I will definitely be coming back. We travel often and it’s wonderful to know I have somewhere for my pet to stay that he enjoys and I know he is so well taken care of. Thanks so much Bobbi Jo!”
“James was very accommodating to our schedule, answered messages quickly, and sent plenty of updates/pictures. Clementine needed a medicinal spray and by the time we came back: her ears were pretty much healed from James spraying her everyday (and we all know how much cats like to be sprayed). We are grateful her needs were met, but also that James respected her enough to give her space to be a cat. As much as we missed her, we knew she was in good hands. We highly recommend James, and will most definitely be asking him to watch our cat again during future travel. Thanks for everything!”
“Our dog, Newmie, had the best time staying with Jennifer and her sweet dogs for the long weekend. We got plenty of pictures and updates showing us how much fun he was having, and how relaxed he seemed. I will definitely use her again next time we are up her way! Thank you for the great care and communication!”
“Awesome experience with Thomas. He is very kind and super responsive. Ziggy had the time of his life. I give him my strongest recommendation and will definitely be back!”
“My dog enjoyed her time playing with their dogs, and they even got her some Christmas present chew toys to play with. They kept me updated during my 7 day Christmas vacation and had no issues whatsoever. Will be happy to use their dog boarding services again!”
“One of my dogs looked confused when it was time to go home, so I can tell they enjoyed their stay with Suzanne and her family. She was warm and inviting, and communicated the entire stay. I’m hoping her schedule allows for them to stay with her for future travels.”
“Highly recommend! Secure fenced property with lots of room for the dogs to run and play. Kept us updated on a regular basis. Our Goldendoodle’s felt right at home I’m not even sure they missed us. Chelsea will definitely be our go to sitter!”
“Erica was absolutely fantastic! Both dogs looked so happy in all the pictures while we were gone. They'll definitely be going back any time we need someone to watch them.”
“My dogs were boarded for rhe 1st time ever, so naturally my anxiety was high. Khalia was referral from a friend that I trust. Khalia was calm and patient. She also kept me connected by sending me videos and pictures of my boys. I would recommend her and will be using her again in the near future.”
“Zenaida watched our 8 month old husky while we were out of town, and we felt at ease knowing he was being well taken care of. She kept us updated on his stay, and he had a great time!”
“Ms. Suzy is hands down the absolute best sitter on Rover! We had a last-minute work trip and were initially anxious about leaving our Frenchies with someone new, but Ms. Suzy immediately put us at ease. Before our trip, she let us come over for a meet-and-greet so our dogs could get comfortable with her and her sweet dog, Molly. Throughout our trip, her communication was a solid 10/10—we received daily updates and photos, allowing us to focus entirely on work without a single worry. Frenchies are full of personality and high-energy, our girls definitely tested their boundaries. Frenchies can be a handful with all their energy and stubborn quirks, but Ms. Suzy handled our girls with endless patience and genuine affection. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for allowed us to handle our business trip without stressing for a second. She went above and beyond in every way. Before we even got back home, I had already asked her to watch them for our next trip! If you are looking for an attentive, trustworthy, and incredibly loving sitter, book Ms. Suzy immediately. (Also, I am so glad Rover allows tipping, because the level of care she provides is worth every single penny and then some!) If I could give Ms. Suzy 100 stars, I would! Leaving your fur babies is always stressful, but Ms. Suzy made this a completely worry-free experience from start to finish. Ms. Suzy is exceptional! We boarded our dogs with her for five days, and she kept us informed every step of the way, allowing us to truly relax during our trip. We had experienced a past loss with a previous sitter and were extremely hesitant to leave our pets again, but meeting Suzy and Molly completely relieved our stress. Her frequent check-ins provided total peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with her again whenever she has availability!"”
“Cherie is fantastic! I kept having to extend my time needed for a pet sitter as I’m moving and she had no problem still seeing my kitties. Cherie spent time with my cats and went above and beyond to refill their water towers and clean their litter boxes. She ensured my home was safe and secure and I can tell my kitties loved her. Thank you so much Cherie!”
“We couldn’t have picked a better person to keep Lulu when we went on vacation for a week! The picture updates, the videos, the daily feedback on how she was doing. I would absolutely recommend Jen to anyone! We are so thankful for her and her family! You will not find a better sitter for your dog!”
About: My parents had dogs before I was born so I have never lived without dogs. I share my house now with my two dogs, and I am very lucky to work from home where I can be with them all day. In addition, I spent many years volunteering with a local shelter where I was a dog walker, an adoption counselor, a foster dog mom, and assisted with training classes. If you have a dog care need outside of what I have set as what I will accept, contact me because I may be able to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. My schedule revolves around my dogs. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an enclosed porch, but they do spend most of their time indoors with me. When I am home, they go out every 3-4 hours, and if I am away, which is not often, I do not leave them for more than 8 hours. I am not scheduling for more than 3 months out, but if you have a specific date request beyond that, contact me and I can look at options. When I host your dog at my home, he or she will be treated like part of the family. I feed my dogs twice a day, and they go out every 3-4 hours when I am not home, or more often if needed. On sunny days, my dogs also enjoy laying on my enclosed porch where I have a few dog beds set up for them. The feeding and potty schedule for your dog is up to you, so please communicate that with me if it would be different from my own dogs. On the rare occasions where I need to leave for doctor appointments or family events, I would crate your dog, or alternately, secure your dog in a small room using a baby gate if you dog cannot tolerate crating. I have two bad shoulders, and therefore I do not walk dogs, but your dog would get plenty of play time with my dogs in my house and in my yard. While I try to not have dogs on the furniture, it doesn't always work out that way, but I do have multiple dog beds in every room of my home. I also have designated areas of the couch where my dogs are allowed. I would require you to bring a leash and your dog's food when you drop him or her off. In terms of in-home visits to care for your dog, I will be sure to let them out, feed them, make sure they have water, administer medications as required, and spend about 15 minutes with them in snuggles or playtime. As mentioned above, I have two bad shoulders so I am not able to walk your dog.
About: I have taken care of family and friends pets ranging from cats, dogs, and fish. I love going on walks with dogs or just hanging out inside with a kitty. I have trained my dog in some basics like sit and come. I am currently out of school and have a free schedule. This makes it easier to care for your sweet animal! I am able to spend as much time as needed with your fur baby! I live in an apartment and have one very loving dog. My apartment had fenced in areas for dogs to run around in and lots of space for outdoor time. I have 2 rooms so I can keep my dog separated from your fur baby if requested. I spent lots of time with my pup and would love to spend time with yours!
