“Shayla is absolutely, positively the best! I was a 1st time Rover user and my fur baby never had a sitter outside of family. Shayla by far was just like family!! She provided me updates throughout the day with both photos and video. It was a 2 day stay due to travel, but I could tell my pup was at ease. Shayla helped her make me friends although she was shy and introduced other pups in stages to allow her to be comfortable and become acclimated at her own pace! Never have I seen an individual commit so much care, dedication and compassion to their profession. I will be utilizing her services again in the very near future, as she now has a long term client! You will not be disappointed in choosing her for all your pet care needs!! ???”
“Sheri was great and has a great set up for watching dogs! She has a large house with plenty of room to roam and a large fenced in backyard for the dogs to run. Sheri is very knowledgeable about dogs and very caring. I will definitely use her again and would recommend to anyone”
“Maria is an amazing dog sitter and a better person! We left our 4 month old rambunctious puppy with her for a whole week. We were nervous but Maria made our anxieties go away. She provided pictures of our puppy playing and being loved by Maria's family, running outside, and playing with her dogs throughout the whole week. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for the best care for their dog.”
“Renee took good care of my baby! She is very sweet and when I dropped off my dog I can tell she's a good one! She's very accommodating too even though I was late dropping off/picking up my dog. My pup just slept the whole night when I we got home, he really had a good time! Will book Renee again, she lives further from me but totally worth the drive because I know my dog is in good hands ! I finally found a good sitter in the area.”
“Jupiter really enjoyed her time with Taylor! I was a little nervous since it was my first time using Rover but Taylor updated me every morning on how she was doing. Our dogs got along perfectly & I will say I do plan on booking with Taylor again in the future!”
“I know my boy was in good hands, i received lots of pictures and they was he was spoiled I was wondering if he would even want to leave 😆. I will definitely use again for my sully !!”
“Brandy is the best sitter we have had, she took súper good care of our Kiba, you can tell Kiba was very happy staying with her. During our time away Brandy keep us updated constantly of what our baby was doing with text and pictures which allow us to enjoy our time away knowing that she was having a good time as well. Thanks a lot Brandy you will be without a doubt our first option for boarding for future needs.”

About: I have had dogs all my life and I am truly a dog lover! I recently had my dog professionally trained which has forced me to learn some training tips myself.

“Crystal is awesome, always flexible and timely. She does a great job with the Rover card explaining what the animals did or she did with her visit and she takes plenty of pictures. 10/10 highly recommend!”
“This was my first experience with Rover, and it was great. Meep can tend to be nervous and anxious when I get home after an absence, but with Melissa taking care of her, this was the calmest I have ever seen her. Meep LOVED her, and recognized, as do I, Melissa's kind heart and great love for animals. She sent me pics of Meep each day, so I could have peace of mind knowing Meep was in very good hands. I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter!”
“Cheryl watched our cat while we left her alone for the first time, and she gave us peace of mind while we were away. I hope she’s available to watch her again during our next trip!”
“Megan did such a phenomenal job cat-sitting for us. We have three VERY high maintenance furballs. It was clear Megan took time to play and cuddle them daily. We plan to only hire Meghan in future if possible. Very trustworthy.”
“I am so grateful that Rai was our sitter while we were out of town. Rai kept our girls company, took time to make our skeptical kitty feel more comfortable, sent us pictures and updates, and on top of that, kept an eye on our home. Rai really went above and beyond and I could never recommend another sitter more highly!”
“Was very impressed with how well the babies were taken care of and would definitely recommend booking with Liliana. She was so sweet to my babies even the scaly ones. Thank you for taking good care of my babies.”

“Helene showed up on time and took great care of our family which consists of cats and dogs. The drop in visit gave our family the break and attention they needed. I have used Helene a few times and I will continue to use her.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of cats ever since I was 16 years old. My parents and I had a cat adopt us when our oldest dog was sick.

I love naps and love napping with them.

About: I've had animal experience as long as I can remember. I've had a ton of pets growing up, from ferrets, to fish, to cats, and of course dogs. I had to take care of all of them and all of the responsibilities in taking care of a pet. Animals make me a happier and better person. One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.

“Brandy is truly the person to look after my Bailey. Brandy kept me updated throughout the visit as to how my dog was doing. Sending me pictures was a plus. I hope to use her services again soon.”
“We reached out to Maria for a last-minute request and she was not only able to accommodate, but was very flexible with us. Sika had an awesome time lounging around with Maria and her family; I thought we may have a hard time getting her to come home with us! 🤣 We will definitely be reaching out to Maria in the future for any of our sitting needs for Sika in this area!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and cared for pets of others as well through the years. My husband and I both work from home so we have availability to look after the pets of others daily. We have a dog a cat who get along with other pets. We have adopted puppies and young adult dogs and successfully trained them to be very good dogs. We have cared for senior dogs as well. In our home the pets can be wherever the humans are, including the furniture indoors and outside. I am self employed and work from home so my daily schedule is very open for pet sitting. My husband also works from home so there is always someone home to look after the pets and make sure their needs are being met. Our home is very dog friendly. Everywhere humans can be the dogs can be also. The backyard is fenced in and the gate is rarely ever opened. We have cameras everywhere so we always have a visual of what's going on inside and outside in the yard. If needed we have a baby gate to section off areas for pets.

“Tiffany was very nice and easy to schedule with to take care of Sakura at last minute pretty much! She kept us updated of everything and Sakura liked her son too! Thank you so much Tiffany!! We appreciate you!”
About: Hello! We are an animal obsessed family with a huge yard! I have 3 dogs (a female pug age 9, a silly female doodle dog, and a male medium mixed breed) so if I am caring for your pet in my home I would ask they be dog friendly to my babies. ***we also have a 5 year old boy, and a 2 year old boy ,so must be kid friendly! I have a large fenced in yard and acres of land. We love all dog breeds, and dogs of all sizes, however my male dog is scared of large male dogs and I have a fragile pug so I prefer if the dog is large, he/she be calmer.

We also have a separate temp controlled building/tiny house if your pet prefers a quiet environment. Either my husband or myself will be home most of the day, longest we would be away is 2-3 hours, so your fur baby will get plenty of attention. We have a few acres for your pet to exercise. There are plenty of dog friends to play with any day at our pet palace! Along with our own dogs, we sometimes have foster dogs from a local rescue! There is a fenced area with a pool if your dog would like swimming time. They will have 24 hr supervision. I will accommodate to your specific feeding schedule etc. Either my husband or I are home almost 24/7! Lauren works part time and from home so your baby will get all the love!

“I can say that my finding Simone on Rover was divine providence! I was in desperate need of someone who could be a companion to my pupper while I was at work during the day. Pupper, Nova, got herself in a terrible habit of panic whenever I would leave the house. After adopting her from humane society, I needed more time to be able to instill good habits of calm and relaxation but also needed to be able to go to work. Having Simone look after her during the day and being able to train her in the evenings and on weekends has made a spectacular difference in her behavior! Simone was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. I was assured in knowing that Nova was being treated as a member of the family and receiving lots of love in my absence. I am forever grateful!! <3”
About: I have a passion for animals particularly dogs. I enjoy having them around and they bring me joy. Let me bring joy to your fur baby. I off early on Friday and I don’t work on weekends.

“As a first time Rovee customer, I am very delighted with my experience. Jordan was very welcoming not only to Frankie but myself as well. She kept me informed bout his behavior from being with the other dogs, her 1 year old and even during feeding time. She was also understanding of my lateness picking him up. I am definitely booking Jordan again in the near future.”

“I 've used Chrystal for daily drop ins and a drop by walk. She is great and I am glad I found her for my senior dog. Dottie took right to her and even one of my cats visited with her while she was there. I will certainly use her again. I appreciate all the pictures from the visits!”
“Rachel has truly been the best to my pup. She came to visit/walk my dog almost daily for the past few weeks and she has been reliable, responsive, attentive, and kind. Every visit, she left me with lots of cute photos and a detailed update about my pup and their time together. My pup always seemed nothing short of happy, comfortable, and at complete ease. Rachel is a kind hearted and thoughtful sitter who truly treats your dog like her own. She even purchased my golden doodle some of her favorite treats when we ran out at home and made sure to ask for my permission before doing so! The only reason I have parted ways with Rachel is because I have moved out of town, and leaving her was the saddest part about moving! I wish I could continue service and proceed with the same peace of mind Rachel gave me. Like many pet parents, I have a lot of anxiety about others caring for my pup, but I never felt an ounce of that with Rachel. I always had the upmost confidence that my pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her to all!”
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life and pet sat for friends and family since I was around 12 years old. In the last few years, I've also become something of a pet expert through my freelance writing. That same experience means that my schedule is very flexible and I can easily work while hanging out with your pets in your home. I'm currently training to become a dog trainer and behaviorist, and I have first-hand experience with reactive dogs through my own dog, Ginger. I've also cared for special needs dogs in the past, and have a special needs cat, Pepper, of my own. I carry my own pet sitting insurance and am happy to provide proof of insurance upon request. I'm a freelancer that sets my own hours, so I can work in pet care at any time. I can even stay full-time at your home the entire time you're away. I prefer to care for pets in clients' homes. I find that most animals are more comfortable in their own environment anyway, plus there's no concern for how well they'll get along with my own pets.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I have a beagle back home with my family, which has taught me how much pets mean to the people who love them. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs who need medication, and pets with all kinds of personalities and routines. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and comfortable! My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own while you’re away. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I make pet care a priority and always plan my day around the pets I’m watching so they get attention, exercise, and many potty breaks!I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful because they’re part of the family. I always do my best to stick to their normal routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them extra cuddles. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll care for them the same way I would want someone to care for my own. Their happiness and safety will always be my top priority.

“Hannah was such a huge lifesaver in my situation. She was super responsive and friendly. She went above and beyond to make sure she was there for my dog when I couldn't be. I never want another dog walker aside from her, honestly. Very trustworthy and my dog loved her.”

“Shannon was wonderful!! She was flexible, and followed my “to-do” list to the letter. She made leaving our new puppy so much easier and she helped keep up with her “training”, which we so so appreciated. I would highly recommend this young lady to anyone needing pet care.”

One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.

“Shayla is absolutely, positively the best! I was a 1st time Rover user and my fur baby never had a sitter outside of family. Shayla by far was just like family!! She provided me updates throughout the day with both photos and video. It was a 2 day stay due to travel, but I could tell my pup was at ease. Shayla helped her make me friends although she was shy and introduced other pups in stages to allow her to be comfortable and become acclimated at her own pace! Never have I seen an individual commit so much care, dedication and compassion to their profession. I will be utilizing her services again in the very near future, as she now has a long term client! You will not be disappointed in choosing her for all your pet care needs!! ???”

I finally found a good sitter in the area.”

I'm comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners for puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who may need extra patience and support.

I have open availability and work from home, so your pet will rarely be left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a large, fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun and can provide potty breaks every 2 hours—or more frequently if needed for puppies or senior dogs.
