“Graham had a wonderful time with Lindsay & her warm/caring family. We reached out a few days before 4th of July (and our wedding) panicked that Graham’s original sitter was busy. Lindsay was quick to respond, asked questions to ensure Graham’s stay was comfortable, and was very tentative to his needs (kindly keeping in touch and making accommodations to ensure that Graham was well taken care of). When my husband picked up Graham, Lindsay’s daughter sent our little pup home with a cute one-of-a-kind drawing and hugs. Lindsay and her family did not just pup sit for us - they treated Graham like family (and that makes us very very grateful). Graham looks forward to his next stay (and next time his little sister Pandora will join) ?”
“Needed a sitter on short notice while our apartment was being fumigated, I was so grateful for Jennifer taking them in while I was at work. She's very kind, gentle, and caring, providing perfect care for both our sweet kitties. One of our cats had a bit of irritation in her eye from some dirt, and she was able to give her the eye drops we left with her. Absolutely will book her again if/when I need a sitter, you can tell how much she loves what she does.”
“Lidiia took amazing care of my Sheba for two weeks. She was incredibly accommodating and even extended the boarding time twice, which I deeply appreciated. She made sure Sheba was comfortable by boarding her in her own room, giving her the privacy she loves. I couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Always takes amazing care of our energetic baby! Follows all instructions with care and provides detailed updates with pictures. Luca loves his time with this family and he’s very picky!”
“I am so impressed with Julie and Michael and their big farm (15 acres). It is all fenced in and they have goats, a pig, some horses, chickens and two beautiful dogs (doodles). Wish Charlie Brown and Lucy could talk and tell me all about their adventures Julie sent pictures and answered my anxious questions. I will definitely use them again. Thank you!!!”
“Tracey had excellent communication and excellent care for our dogs. When we first arrived our dogs went right up to her and were happy to be with her. She had a small fenced in yard which our goldendoodle enjoyed. We would definitely use her for dog sitting again.”
“Goldendoodle Queisha took wonderful care of our 6-year-old Goldendoodle. We really appreciated the updates and the stress-free boarding experience for the day. We look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Tammy does a great job with a new "visitor" he was not nervous because she made our little guy feel very comfortable. We have used Tammy's services several times and will keep doing so.”
“Ryan did a great job of taking care of our dogs you can tell he cares about them. He has a big backyard with lots of space to run around. He kept us updated daily and sent us pictures.”
“Rene was fantastic with our 2 pups! Got daily updates and the pups looked like they had a great time and felt like family 😊 highly recommended and will book with Rene again!”
About: I'm a dog behavior specialist, not just a sitter. I understand canine psychology and body language, helping dogs feel calm, safe, and understood. I have years of experience with anxious, fearful, reactive, and large-breed dogs. Every dog receives patient, individualized care. Working with dogs is my full-time profession, so pet care is part of my daily life—not just a side job. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, mental enrichment, and personalized care throughout the day. My home is a calm and structured environment where dogs feel safe and understood. As a dog behavior specialist, I don't just provide boarding—I help dogs build confidence, reduce stress, and practice good habits. Every dog receives individual attention based on their personality, needs, and comfort level.
“Lena was the best with our 15 year old chihuahua Sophie. She kept us updated throughout the 2 weeks we boarded with her. Sophie loved it there and would have stayed longer I'm sure. I will definitely use Lena again in the future.”
“Thank you so much Gretchen & Marc! You are so fabulous with Jimmy. You make leaving Jimmy in your care so worry free allowing us to enjoy our time away. I especially love the photo updates. I can’t recommend your services enough. We feel so lucky that we found you.”
“Max had a great time at Pats place. Her place is very organized and she made sure Max was comfortable with meet and greets of the other dogs that would be with him during his stay. We were coming in from out of town and her communication always prompt and friendly. I highly recommend Pat and would use her again if ever back in that area.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Bella received this past weekend! Shital & Ketan were fantastic —keeping us updated regularly with pictures and videos, which truly put our minds at ease. It was clear that Bella was having a great time—lots of playtime, walks, and love. It really showed in how happy and relaxed Bella was when we picked her up. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for pets. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing. I was nervous about leaving my fur babies, but Lauren kept us updated and sent pictures everyday throughout the day. She made this first time experience great! I will most definitely use her services again!!”

“Courtney was fantastic! She took great care of my cats while I was away for the weekend. I appreciated the updates and photos, and I came home to happy, relaxed kitties. Would definitely book again!”
“Would give six stars if I could. Liberty was absolutely amazing with our three cats and went above and beyond by watering our plants and picking up our mail. We got updates with photos and videos at least once a day. She played with them, hung out with them, and kept track of their many quirks. I could tell the cats loved her and warmed up to her right away. We've been reluctant to travel before now because of not wanting to board our cats and not knowing someone who could come by to take care of them. The peace of mind we had on this trip, knowing they were being so well taken care of and having such a great time, made such a difference.”

“Zoie-Lynn was so amazing! She took such great care of our dogs and cats while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure our babies were well taken care of and happy!!

“Yuwadee is absolutely fantastic! My dog Athena absolutely LOVED spending the day with Yuwadee while I was at work and living with my parents. She has a big yard for dogs to run around in and plenty of space to go for walks! My dog Athena would be exhausted at the end of the day from playing and be very excited to go back! I would 100% recommend her, especially if you need someone to care for your fur baby for an 8+ hour day or overnights.”
“Lauren was great and easy to talk to. She gave us updates throughout the day on our dog. Her set up was great and her dogs were friendly with ours. I highly recommend her anytime you need a sitter for your pup!”
“Lindsay & Chris have been exceptional sitters for our dog Rylie. The family provides very personal and affectionate care in their home, with a great outdoor space for play. Rylie is looking forward to her next stay!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since high school and bring decades of hands‑on experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for puppies/kittens, seniors, given diabetes shots, changed diapers, and handled everything from Sheepdogs to Chihuahuas. I have two small, friendly dogs, a senior cat, and a fully fenced backyard. If your pet is dog‑and cat‑friendly, I’m happy to host them short‑ or long‑term. I truly love animals of all kinds. I am happy to come over and check on your baby, take them for a walk (or stroll), throw a ball or play light flashing, or even daycare for them at my home. I work from home all but two days a week and can modify that as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am able to care for your baby as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule.
About: I have been taking care of pets for 10+ years and have loved every minute of it. Myself and my husband are pet lovers. We have 1 dog (chocolate lab/male/ neutered) and 1 cat (female/spayed) in our home. We have 4 children who love animals and have been taught to be very gentle and respectful to pets. We will give your pets all the love and attention they need while you are away. I am a stay at home mom so your pets will be supervised throughout their stay. We are open to having your pet in our home any day of the week. We have a fenced in yard and locks on both entrances on the gates. We also love to go for walks through our very safe neighborhood. Pets will have full access indoors. We have 4 children who are very gentle and respectful of pets.
About: I have loved dogs my entire life. Growing up being an animal lover, some of my best memories are with my dogs throughout my childhood. Since then, I have always had dogs, and can’t imagine my life without them. I’ve helped friends and family throughout my life care for their dogs - sitting, bathing, walking, etc. We have two dogs of our own, Ollie (a two year old goldendoodle) and Layla (a 12 year old papillon.) We have had both of our dogs since they were puppies, so we are familiar with puppy training as well as the special care that senior dogs need. We consider them members of our family, and I have always hated boarding them at traditional kennels. Leaving them with a trusted sitter has given us such peace of mind when we go out of town, and I hope to provide that same peace of mind for you. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I will be able to have your dogs out with me during the day, and have them sleep comfortably in their crates at night or when they’re unsupervised. I will also be able to provide plenty of potty breaks and walks. We have an acre of open yard and a semi-wooded space to have plenty of supervised playtime. We have plenty of room inside and out to run and play! When your dogs are unsupervised, they will be safely in their crate in our large, open, finished basement. I provide boarding for indoor crate trained dogs, who are up to date on all vaccines including Bordetella, are house/potty trained, and on flea/tick prevention. They also must be friendly with other dogs and children.
About: I had three miniature dachshunds until they all eventually passed away from old age. I treated them as if they were children. I am very in tune with an animal’s needs and emotions. Animals that I have never met before, usually take to me right away. When I cared for my father-in-law’s dog for two weeks, he did not want to return home with him….lol. I hate to see any animal suffer or be in danger. I go as far to remove turtles from the road so that they do not get hit and I have tried to save numerous injured birds in the wild. Animals, especially, dogs, provide so much unconditional love. I am a retired law enforcement officer. Thus, I have a lot of availability. I am available Sunday-Saturday 24 hours as long as I am provided at least a short notice. I have a fenced in back yard that I always ensure is securely locked at all times. I would pet proof home ensure no medications or cleaning products, etc are accessible to pets. Also, I would only feed what the owner wanted the pet to be fed.
“Nataly was so sweet and cared for my dog so well. He seemed pretty relaxed when I got to him, which is a great sign as he feels really safe. Thank you so much for loving on him like I do.”
About: As someone who personally has an animal with special needs I understand the kind of care they need! I also have experience working with animals of all ages. Along with working with animals of all ages I have both volunteered and worked at a local Humane Society. Working there entailed feeding, cleaning, and providing medical care to both cats and dogs. As a student who only works a part time job I am back and forth between campus and my house all week. With an older cat I frequently drop by my house throughout the day to check on him. Because of this I would be able to provide the same care to your animals as well. I live in a quiet neighborhood near several large parks. Because of this I will be able to not only walk dogs in my neighborhood but take them to surrounding parks to walk and play! Along with taking dogs out my home is equipped with cat friendly furniture,scratchers and enrichment.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for my parents and neighbors for the last 13 years now! I’ve expanded to friends and other family as I got older! I’m currently working Monday-Friday at an office, but working on switching to remote work so my schedule will be more flexible due to being able to work from anywhere. I have 2 dogs of my own, both I have had since they were old enough to leave their moms, one is 2 years old and one is 5 months now. My 2 year old is always ready to play and normally does really well around other dogs, but does play rough so maybe being around older dogs is not a good idea lol! The 5 month old is still getting trained and learning. I have also always grown up with dogs in the house ever since I was a baby. I can offer references of people that are not family that I have pet sat / house sat for as well.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little and have years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly love animals. I treat every dog like family and have great references from people who trust me with their pets. I’m currently in cosmetology school and also work a part-time job Tuesday through Saturday, usually until around 5 PM. Even with my schedule, I always make time to give pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to making sure your fur baby feels safe! I have a fenced-in backyard and love going on walks with my fur babies! I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
About: I provide care through drop-in visits and dog walking for short and extended periods of time. I always prioritize clear communication with owners and updates as needed. You will never have to worry about your pet being safe - I care for other animals like I care for my own. Offering low rates to build up my profile!! I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I prioritize patience, safety, and consistency to help them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind if desired. As someone who values dependable and compassionate care, I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure, active, and loved. I currently have a pretty open schedule. However, I do prefer about a week notice in caring for you dog in order to plan accordingly. I will follow any instructions provided according to the client's preferences. I am an extremely trustworthy person with animals, as well as past & current experience caring for children.
About: I love caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away! I've been dog sitting for family and friends for the past three years and have experience with all kinds of pups. From energetic puppies who need lots of attention and playtime to senior dogs who require medication and a little extra care. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to help them feel relaxed and right at home. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so if your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or just hanging out outside, I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. If they're more laid-back and prefer relaxing inside, I'm happy to spend quality time indoors too! I also have experience caring for elderly dogs, including administering medications and following special care instructions. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away and make sure your pet gets lots of love and the best care possible! Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving medications, or just keeping them company. I’m flexible with my schedule and always make sure pets get plenty of attention. I always make sure to follow all of my client's instructions and care for their pets as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will also treat your home with the same respect and care! I prioritize keeping everything clean and exactly how I found it while you're away.
About: Previously, I worked as a kennel tech at a Vet Clinic for about 3 years! I have had experience in caring for cats and dogs (love them both). Along with working with animals at the vet clinic, I have been on Rover for over a year and also offer pet sitting outside of the app. My goal is always to offer the best care for your animals, ensuring you feel at ease when being away from them! I am currently a college student but I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to make time in the morning, most afternoons, and evenings. To ensure the safety of myself and the animals, I would be sure to get all of the details on what the pet needs. Such as, medical history, and knowledge of any existing problems or quirks the pet may have. For example, my own dog doesn’t like to eat right away, she likes to graze; this would be something I would want to know just in case. Care and safety are all in the details!
