“So glad we found Bridget and Chad. We were scheduled for a vacation and our usual boarding facility was closed for the week. I happened to check out Rover and found out our pups could stay in their home for the week. We got photos and a report on how they were doing daily. They were easy to communicate with and responded quickly. The pups came home happy and slightly spoiled! We wouldn’t hesitate to use Bridget and Chad again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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”
“Simone was very friendly and accommodating. She met us off base for drop-off and pick-up. Communication with her before, during, and after boarding was done politely and in a timely manner. She sent pictures of Peanut and Butters almost daily. I was happy to see that they were roaming around with other dogs but also that they still had each other. Her comments about my girls made me feel that they were comfortable in her care and that she too enjoyed their companionship.”
“Maria is an amazing person and a wonderful dog boarder! She treats your fur baby like it is her own and keeps you updated with pictures and daily reports on their well being. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a safe, secure and happy place for their dog to go while they are away.”
“Shayla watched my pup Charlie for 4 days while we have to leave for a family emergency. She kept me updated daily with pics/videos and Charlie looked like she had a blast. We will definitely use her as our go to sitter for our fur baby.”
“Maria and her family loved my dog, Poppi, like their own! She was able to watch her last minute for me and was very responsive and friendly. She sent the cutest updates and Poppi was sad to leave! Will definitely be using Maria again soon ❤️🐶”
“Cristina was amazing. My pup is always anxious the first night away from home and she helped ensure my girl got settled in right away. She texted me daily with updates and photos which settled my worrying heart. You can tell she cares so much. I would absolutely use Cristina again.”
“Great young family with other animals that allowed my dog to truly enjoy himself. A military family that was willing to taken him in at the last moment, I truly appreciate them. Thanks.”

“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!”

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.
“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”
“Helia treats our baby like family and we joke she has a boyfriend with Kratos (the best play mate!). Helia will send the best photos and videos and it’s so nice to see my baby happy. We won’t go anywhere else”

“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.”

About: Hello! We are an animal obsessed family with a huge yard!

“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 started my animal career as a dog sitter and walker in middle school. I was always the go-to girl in the neighborhood whenever anyone needed a pet sitter. I took my passion for dogs even further and became a dog groomer. I was a professional dog groomer for 5 years before I started having issues with carpal tunnel. I still groom a bit on the side if needed. Dogs are my passion, and I hope to one day start my own rescue group and sanctuary for homeless dogs. I treat every dogs as if they were my own. I have worked on dogs as small as 3 pounds, and dogs as big as 225 pounds. I am comfortable with all breeds and do not discriminate against “bully” breeds. Let me be your first choice in animal care and your fur baby will thank you! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I am available for one-time jobs, occasional jobs, and regular scheduled jobs. I am also available weekends and holidays! Unfortunately I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment. I live in a very quiet apartment complex that also has a dog park on the property.
About: Ive taken care of animals since i was a kid. Sitting cats, dogs, horses, ferrets ect. Animals have always had a special place in my heart My schedule is open any day of week as to being a stay at home mom! i only do boarding at home i don't spend the night at people homes! i can pet sit when ever you want or just walk your dog when ever you want i have a fenced in yard that is spacious and two loving cats if your pet doesn't get along with cats they have there own room they like to hang out in!
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

“So glad we found Bridget and Chad. We were scheduled for a vacation and our usual boarding facility was closed for the week. I happened to check out Rover and found out our pups could stay in their home for the week. We got photos and a report on how they were doing daily. They were easy to communicate with and responded quickly. The pups came home happy and slightly spoiled! We wouldn’t hesitate to use Bridget and Chad again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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”
“Simone was very friendly and accommodating. She met us off base for drop-off and pick-up. Communication with her before, during, and after boarding was done politely and in a timely manner. She sent pictures of Peanut and Butters almost daily. I was happy to see that they were roaming around with other dogs but also that they still had each other. Her comments about my girls made me feel that they were comfortable in her care and that she too enjoyed their companionship.”
“Shayla watched my pup Charlie for 4 days while we have to leave for a family emergency. She kept me updated daily with pics/videos and Charlie looked like she had a blast. We will definitely use her as our go to sitter for our fur baby.”
“Maria and her family loved my dog, Poppi, like their own! She was able to watch her last minute for me and was very responsive and friendly. She sent the cutest updates and Poppi was sad to leave! Will definitely be using Maria again soon ❤️🐶”
“Cristina was amazing. My pup is always anxious the first night away from home and she helped ensure my girl got settled in right away. She texted me daily with updates and photos which settled my worrying heart. You can tell she cares so much. I would absolutely use Cristina again.”
“Great young family with other animals that allowed my dog to truly enjoy himself. A military family that was willing to taken him in at the last moment, I truly appreciate them. Thanks.”

I enjoy being a caregiver for such an important part of your family. I have experience with show dogs, grooming, and dog behavior.

About: I have been caring for animals as long as I can remember. My Mother showed me how to handle puppies and kittens as well as the wonder of animal watching. I am currently wanting to work from home and give walks part-time to start. I am open to long-term care as well. I've had several different animals as pets and respect them all. I have a loving home with a large fence and small fence. The area will have plenty of water and toys and will be treated for pests.

She was flexible with the drop off and pick up times, she had kennels size appropriate for my big boy. She has a fenced in yard and she has two little boys that are just adorable. She sent pics and videos everyday. They were always happy when with her. The dogs spent a week and were treated like part of her family. Thank you so much for the great work!”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from tiny toy breeds to large working dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I provide patient, loving, and personalized care for each one. 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. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet like family, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in experienced, compassionate hands. 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. Here's a warm, professional response that's well suited for a Rover profile: Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while making sure they always have fresh water, meals on schedule, and a safe, comfortable environment. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a large, fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time.

When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any training routines. I also make sure your home is respected and secure while keeping you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
