“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.”
“Bailey took great care of our dog, Nero, and we absolutely loved her service! She was so attentive and kind, sending us videos and pictures every day so we could see how he was. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Mrs. Tara was absolutely amazing with our baby Kora! She was so kind and attentive, and had no problem accommodating Kora’s special needs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kora was in such great hands. Her communication was great — she kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“If you are looking for a place to board your pet, look no further. Jess is your person. She was absolutely amazing. I was referred to her by another friend. It is a decision I am glad I made. Smooch really enjoyed his stay. She was available, friendly, and caring. While away, I had no worries. She truly treats your pets like family, and she does everything she can to make them feel at home. Thank you Jess!!! We look forward to booking with you again soon. Tonya”
“10/10 I never felt more confident leaving my pet somewhere before. They kept me up to date with how she was doing. They sent pictures and asked questions about how I did certain things. It was a great experience not only for me but for my sweet dog. She came home happy and unfazed that I left her there for a few nights.”
“Kelsey is hands down THE BEST! I've always had dogs but never needed a sitter. I had week long trip coming up and for the first time in 40 years I found myself searching for someone to care for my Benny. Kelsey was quick to reply to my inquiry, offered me an abundance of reassurance and took all worries off my shoulders. We communicated effortlessly before, during, and even the day after my trip when she made sure Benny settled back in at home. I received adorable pictures, videos and updates throughout Benny's stay. Thank you Kelsey!!!!! I look forward to reaching out the next time Benny needs a friend to hang out with. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (10 stars)”

“Title: Amazing Dog Sitter – Flexible and Caring! I had an amazing experience with Sushma. It’s clear that Sushma takes the time to build a bond and understand each dog’s unique needs. Be it walks, playtime, or following my dog’s specific feeding schedule, everything was handled perfectly. Sushma is approachable and was so accommodating when I had to unexpectedly extend my stay by an extra day. Their willingness to keep Saimon longer, without hesitation, was a huge relief and shows how understanding and reliable they are. I’m thankful for their flexibility, and professionalism. Throughout the stay, they provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind, knowing my dog was in great hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Sushma to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
“Tiffany did a wonderful job with our Evie. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the week. Her home was very tidy, and she made a special space for Evie. When we picked her up, her kitty box had been cleaned, and all of her belongings were well organized. Evie is very shy, but she seemed to do well at Tiffany's home. We will definitely use her again, and we recommend her highly.”

“Gretchen and Marc exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be more thrilled with their care of our pup. We had a bad experience boarding her at a kennel and were very nervous about leaving her with anyone. They ensured our pup was happy and sent us many updates throughout her stay. If you're looking for people who will truly treat your animal as their own, look no further. Thanks again Gretchen and Marc.”

“I had surgery with lots of variables and needed care for my 2 sheltie pups for a week. My girl can be anxious out of routine but each day's pictures she looked more and more relaxed. Both dogs came home looking great and happy. Deann helped out by transporting them back home to keep me safe and on track for recovery. Really appreciate her kindness and caring.”
“My furbaby was well taken care of- it was evident from the pics I received multiple times a day, FaceTimes and when I came to pick him. I had zero worries about my little boy while enjoying my vacation- thank you so much for the excellent care.”

“Tidarat is the best cat sitter i’ve ever had. Truly so wonderful! Her updates and pictures of the kitties made me feel better about being away from them. Will definitely book her from now on! 😸✨”
“Brenda is an excellent sitter for my 2 kittens. She makes sure they are fed and litter box scooped. She is very kind. Will always use Brenda first when she's available.”

“Lisa took excellent care of my daughters cat, Pixie, while we were away. She was very engaging & provided thoughtful updates on how Pixie was doing, which gave us peace of mind. Administering medication can sometimes be tricky, but Lisa handled it with no issues. I truly appreciate her care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”
“Bailey did an amazing job with my cats! She asked plenty of clarifying questions during the meet-n-greet and provided updates while I was gone. My cats especially appreciated that she took time to play with them when she stopped in. Even my camera-shy cat made several appearances for her. :)”
“Melani took excellent care of our two cats and we couldn't be happier! She was attentive, reliable, and sent us daily updates with photos, which really put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Melani for anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!”

“Patricia absolutely saved the day when we had a family emergency and asked her to watch Mina on short notice. She responded promptly and did everything to make it an amazing afternoon for our Shih Tzu! She sent tons of photos, kept us updated, and bent over backwards to help us out. Her energy was calming and reassuring in what was a very stressful time for us. We are so grateful and would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: As lifelong dog lovers, we know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. We had two sweet dogs of our own for 14 and 12 years, and they were truly part of our family. Spoiled , loved, and very well cared for. We understand that every dog deserves patience, attention, safety, and lots of love while their owners are away. Your pup will be welcomed into our home like one of our own, with plenty of care, affection, and a comfortable environment to help them feel safe and happy. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine because we genuinely enjoy having dogs around and caring for them. We’re home every day and used to structuring our days around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. Our home is calm, safe, and pet-friendly, and we understand the importance of consistency and routine for dogs while their owners are away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to keep things consistent and stress-free for them while their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll respect their space while making sure their pets stay comfortable in their familiar routine and environment. My goal is always to care for every pet as if they were my own.
About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.
About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.
About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)
“Ryan was great with Chevy. I was nervous leaving him as this was my first time using this site. He knew that and kept me up to date throughout the day with pictures and videos assuring me Chevy was in good hands and was having a blast playing with Penelope. Would highly recommend!!!”
“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!”
“Great experience! Recently my dog stayed several hours with DeAnne. She took excellent care of him. He’s now scheduled for two nights of boarding. I’m very happy to have found DeAnne on Rover.”
About: Always had dogs in my life, raised them from puppies or as rescues from a kennel or from owners who could no longer keep them, took care of neighbors. Dogs took care of families. Dogs watched my daughters German shepherd, and husky for six months lot of experience. I work part time home most of the day and work close to home live locally very convenient and free most weekends and most holidays I have a big yard almost an acre, a wooden fence. Good for larger dogs. Also have plenty of area inside the yard to walk smaller dogs and have a mixed blue heeler. Almost 4 years old very friendly.
About: My family always had dogs when I was growing up. As an adult, I have always had dogs and cats. For several years I also had a farm with lots of animals. Almost two years ago I got divorced and this is the first time in my whole life I have not had any pets! I am really looking forward to getting my dog and cat fix from your pets! I work from home and am a stay at home mom. This allows me to care for your pets the way I would care for mine. They get plenty of love and attention! In my home, your pets will be taken care of like they are part of our family. I have children so they will be loved on by them as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking and we have a grassed, outdoor area as well. At your home, I will love on your pets and care for them in every way that you would like.
About: I have had many dogs throughout my life. I was unbelievably sad when my last one died, so I am not ready for another pup just yet. So for now, yours will have to do! I like dogs of all shapes and sizes and have my own experience with complicated dog-life situations. My last one (a Bassett Hound named Mugsey) went through chemo for cancer, became diabetic and blind, aaaand deaf, aaand then developed urinary incontinence. I built him ramps for the couch and the bed. I gave him insulin injections for 2+ years. I fed him at psychotically specific times per day and with very precise amounts of food (ugh, diabetes). And I loved him just as much through those tough times as I did when he was healthy. I love all dogs more than most people and it would be great to take care of some again from time to time. Oh, and I made a trail that goes down to a river/creek from my backyard, and a big trail along the creek. Dogs love it, and so do I! I'll put up a big fence in the yard eventually, but for now... leash walks whenever the dog/dogs want to go! Also, I moved here from Houston about a year ago, and am just getting around to Rover'ing here. The pictures on my profile are in that old house. I'll update soon with new ones here. Thanks!! I work at home doing animation stuff, dogs love sitting on a dog bed next to me, or under my desk as a foot rest ; ) Big yard, lots of dog toys, work from home, dogs are welcome to lounge on the couches and beds too. I don't know what else to say here, but I needed 25 words to make the "next" button work
“This was my first Rover experience plus my dog’s first daycare experience and I was so nervous at first. Heather and her family took the absolute BEST care of my little guy! Multiple walks a day, slow & controlled introductions to new dogs, off leash freedom in their backyard wonderland and plenty of pictures and updates throughout! Thank you so so much! I’d absolutely recommend Heather to anyone needing a family that truly cares and puts extra importance on your dogs safety and comfort level.”

She sent reports on each outing and pictures of my doggies on their walk. I will call her again when I need doggie sitting. It gave me peace of mind while I went away for a couple of days, much needed break. Thank you Tid!”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Patricia! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. When one of our pups got sick, she didn’t just notify us—she actually cooked him rice to help his stomach and even went to her own home to bring back a rug cleaning machine to clean the areas where he had diarrhea. Her kindness and initiative meant the world to us. Her communication was outstanding—we received frequent updates and adorable pictures from all their walks, which really put our hearts at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our getaway without worry. Patricia is caring, responsible, and treats pets as if they were her own. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I've spent years caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and hamsters. Over the years, my family has owned multiple pets including bunnies, cats, and dogs from black labs to havanese. Those experiences have taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and care needs while giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I'm patient, dependable, attentive, and flexible, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know every animal I meet. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'll care for them with the same kindness and dedication I would give my own pets.

I will follow your pets routine, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while making sure they always feel safe and comfortable. I like to arrange a meeting prior to the first day of sitting to get aquatinted with your pet in its space. My three years of experience as a camp leader and coach have taught me to be responsible, patient, attentive, and adaptable.

I will be around most of the time for your dog or cat. I bring your dog for several walks per day (depending on the dog) and I have a yard. I only board one dog at a time, unless you own two dogs that need to be boarded. This way, your dog will get my full attention and you will not have to worry about your dog getting along with another dog. For dogs in my home, they be with me in my front room all day. I’d walk them several times a day, usually a mile or two depending upon the size of the dog. I also have a fairly large yard for dogs that like to run or play fetch.

I also plan to be available after school hours and weekends during the school year. Your pets and your home are yours and should be treated as such. I hope to provide the same care and love to what is yours and simply assist you in meeting a need. Thank you for the opportunity to love your pets!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since 12-14 years old. I grew up surrounded by all types of dogs and cats and have developed a huge love for them. I am currently a part-time college student and receptionist looking to make some extra money! I will have a free schedule until August when school starts. I will watch and care for your dog at any hours. If needed, I can crate your dog or stay at my place. I have a fur baby of my own who is sweet and loving.
About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!
About: I’ve taken care of pets for the past 6 years! Most recently I’ve been a pet sitter/dog walker for a 10yr old husky. I have experience in administering medication, cleaning, and grooming. As of Jan 2024, I’m available all day Mon-Tues and in the mornings Fri-Sun until 4pm. I am not available after 5pm Fri-Sun. Just let me know a day in advance so I can make sure to set aside time for your pet! Due to where I live, I do not offer boarding services. My services are walking, checkins during the day and night that include feeding, grooming, and medication administration.

“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“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.”
“Bailey took great care of our dog, Nero, and we absolutely loved her service! She was so attentive and kind, sending us videos and pictures every day so we could see how he was. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Mrs. Tara was absolutely amazing with our baby Kora! She was so kind and attentive, and had no problem accommodating Kora’s special needs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kora was in such great hands. Her communication was great — she kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“If you are looking for a place to board your pet, look no further. Jess is your person. She was absolutely amazing. I was referred to her by another friend. It is a decision I am glad I made. Smooch really enjoyed his stay. She was available, friendly, and caring. While away, I had no worries. She truly treats your pets like family, and she does everything she can to make them feel at home. Thank you Jess!!! We look forward to booking with you again soon. Tonya”
“Kelsey is hands down THE BEST! I've always had dogs but never needed a sitter. I had week long trip coming up and for the first time in 40 years I found myself searching for someone to care for my Benny. Kelsey was quick to reply to my inquiry, offered me an abundance of reassurance and took all worries off my shoulders. We communicated effortlessly before, during, and even the day after my trip when she made sure Benny settled back in at home. I received adorable pictures, videos and updates throughout Benny's stay. Thank you Kelsey!!!!! I look forward to reaching out the next time Benny needs a friend to hang out with. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (10 stars)”
“Brian and Yui are a super nice couple and took great care of our pups, Cole & Bella, over the Thanksgiving holiday. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in search of a great home away from home for their babies!”
“Melinda and McKenna were God-sends! We have a senior dog and we hate to leave her even for a day. Numerous photos and such a warm home was so assuring during our week away. We would not hesitate to use them again.”
“Savannah did a great job with our dog. She made us feel at peace with all the picture updates she sent. Savannah is fantastic! Her dogs are really sweet too!”
“Heather is incredible! My dog had a blast staying with her! I received an update every morning and lots of pictures! I have never felt better leaving my dog, I don’t think my dog wanted to come home because he was having so much fun!”
“Gretchen and Marc exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be more thrilled with their care of our pup. We had a bad experience boarding her at a kennel and were very nervous about leaving her with anyone. They ensured our pup was happy and sent us many updates throughout her stay. If you're looking for people who will truly treat your animal as their own, look no further. Thanks again Gretchen and Marc.”
“I had surgery with lots of variables and needed care for my 2 sheltie pups for a week. My girl can be anxious out of routine but each day's pictures she looked more and more relaxed. Both dogs came home looking great and happy. Deann helped out by transporting them back home to keep me safe and on track for recovery. Really appreciate her kindness and caring.”
“Amy was so nice, welcoming, and accommodating for my pups special needs. She took great care of them while I was away and gave me plenty of updates! 11/10 would recommend!”
About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)
“Anna was superb with our two dogs! They have a lot of energy and she was able to keep them happy, entertained, and still remembering their training. She sends timely videos and pictures so you can see your pets are happy. We'd highly recommend Anna for all of your pet sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Richard is the best! He took care of our Bruno for almost a week, and had him enjoy his backyard! Had some trouble with coming in so he helped train him to come inside with proper incentive care. I can really tell Richard cares a lot about dogs and will put extra attention in making sure your dogs are in good care so when you are away from home, you can truly have a peace of mind that your pets will be in good hands!”
“Amazing care!! Christina and her husband are awesome, Leon loved them and now they will be Leon's sitters whenever is requiered, bottom line is: above and beyond, Recommended 100%”
“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.”
