“Awesome sitter! They took great care of my two dogs for five days and kept me updated throughout the stay with daily messages and updates on how they were doing. It was clear that my dogs were happy and well taken care of, which made me feel much more comfortable being away from them. No complaints at all, and I would absolutely book with them again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Ray was outstanding, always replies back, always sends pictures. He made me feel real comfortable leaving my "son" with him. Very friendly guy and he even gave my buddy a scarf/handkerchief. Strongly recommend Ray. If I need a dog sitter again, Ray is who I am calling.”
“Kristin was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared. She kept us updated while we were away and made the whole experience stress-free. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We would definitely book with Kristin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Anastasia was fantastic! Both of my dogs were wonderfully taken care of and had a great time. She kept me updated and made sure to send pictures as well! I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Kathy is great! This is the second time we have left Freya with her and she always seems to have a good time. Kathy sends you updates and photos which always makes me feel better about leaving Freya. I would definitely recommend Kathy to anyone.”
“My dogs came home happy and well-cared for after their stay with Lindsey. She responded quickly whenever I reached out and kept me updated on how they were settling in. The photos she sent were so appreciated, especially since I hate being away from my pups. She truly made me feel comfortable and confident that they were in good hands. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I will definitely book with Lindsey again!”
“This was my second time using rover and my German Shepherd had a great time. I appreciate all the updates and the level of care Ms. Shaniece provided. Sometimes I get nervous with leaving Zeke because he’s so big, energetic and at times requires a lot of attention, however, could tell once I picked him up he was in good hands.”
“Kanan has a new auntie and uncle for sure! LaDonna and her husband Andy are the best. They are the perfect kind of people who you can trust to look after your babies. They made sure Kanan was attended to and made to feel like he was a member of the family. I enjoyed receiving reassurances through pictures and texts that Kanan was adapting and doing well. No more looking for me when I need sitters in the future. I hit the jackpot on the first time using Rover. I feel so blessed for me and Kanan!”
“Valerie did an excellent job of caring for my old girl while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing that my Princess was being cared for and given the attention she needed. I will book Valerie again and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible, caring person to board their dog.”
“Kyrie was amazing! Cooper had a blast while we were away. Kyrie was very attentive to Cooper and frequently took him on walks. He kept us updated with lots of photos and videos making our trip away stress free and knowing Cooper was in good hands. Highly recommend and will be using Kyrie again in the future.”
“Julia was great! She was responsive and kept me posted throughout my pets stay with her. She was always available and quick to answer my questions. She sent me pictures of my puppy everyday and kept me up to date with everything. She made sure my puppy was well taken care of. She was even kind enough to meet with me a few days before my pet stayed with. My dog has separation anxiety but she did great with Julia. Thank you so much Julia for making this experience as smooth as possible.”
“Dana and Brandon were great. Clean and welcoming environment. Kinda felt like dropping our fur-kid off at a friends house for the weekend. They stayed in touch with us and sent updates and pics. We will definitely be calling on them in the future and recommending them to our friends.”
“I am a thankful a friend told me about this app and I found Maggie! Her and her family were great with our CC! She kept me updated on how she was doing as well as sending pictures! We will definitely book again! Thank you Maggie!!”
“So glad that I found Bryan, he was wonderful with my fur baby Max. We were visiting Macon for a few days and needed a sitter and a place for Max to have fun and we found that and so much more! I highly recommend Bryan, we will definitely try to book with him again next time we are in the area, I'd give him 10 stars if I could!”
“Brittany was great! She communicated well throughout King and Dova’s stay. She provided me with pictures and videos of how they were doing. She spoiled them a little. I definitely think they enjoyed themselves! 🤭”
“Alexander was a lifesaver when I had to go out of town short notice. He was quick to respond, and didn’t hesitate to watch her. He greeted her with a treat and followed my rules that I have instilled at my house with Honey. I would most definitely use him again in the future. Thank you, again!”

“Catherine is incredible! I cannot say enough kind things about her. Will be booking with her for all of my future trips. She accommodated multiple schedule changes at the last minute, called immediately when my cat had gotten sick all over the house, remained calm, and cleaned it all! She gave him his meds every single day with updates and made my vacation worry free. Thank you so much!”
“Kalia was wonderful. I was worried about using Rover for my 6 week old kittens but they were in good hands with her. Great communication and my baby kitties really seemed to like her. 10/10, I would schedule her again.”

“She was absolutely amazing to my Zuko. She sent me videos and pictures of him, and it really made my feel better about him being taken care of. She also made sure he was fed and had water. Highly recommend! It’s comforting to me that she is a vet tech and has her own cats, so she understands. But definitely will be using her again to take care of my baby Zuko.”
About: I love taking care of animals, and I love to play with the animals and show them love and affection. I used to own a cat and a dog but I did not have the financial means to take care of them. But, I am available any day of the week and even weekends. I hope that I can get to know your fur baby or babies more and I hope to form a bond with y'all. I'm not just in it for the animals, I'm also willing to form a bond with the owners. I am very much a caring person and love people as well as animals. I hope to hear from you soon! Thanks for taking the time to read this info!
“Paw-some job as always! James has been my go to dog/house sitter for years even before becoming a registered sitter on rover. He really takes care of things as if they are his own, if not better! This time he came to feed our 4 dogs while we were out of town. He couldn’t find where the water dish was for our back yard so he filled one up just in case. I appreciate James so much and hope more people come to know him as the dependable person he is.”
About: I have been around cats my whole life. I love cats! My mother had 12 cats when I lived at home they were all indoor and outdoor cats. I always told her the cats talked to each other and said hey if you go over to that lady's house she will feed you and give you a place to live. So we recently just had to put down her 16 year old baby girl Shad. She was like one of my mom's children and we loved her so much. I held her as she took her last breath, and I don't think I have ever cried that much in my life. I never knew how much ypu could love an animal until you have them. So I have customers that I clean for when they go out of town I will watch and check on the kitty. I give fresh water, leave treats out and change the cat litter. I've learned some cats like their treats put in a certain place. You learn that animals are just like humans. They have feelings just like we do. If you choose me to take car of your fur babies just know that I will love them and care for them just like I do my own children. My baby dog is my very best friend and I love him as much as I love my family bc he is family too.

“I have never left my dog, Jordan, with anyone he did not know. My daughter told me about Rover because I was going out of town and couldn't take him with me. I found Ray E. on Rover. I read his reviews, and decided to book with him. Jordan warmed up to him pretty quickly, and I was sent pictures and updates daily. My first experience with Rover was awesome. Ray was a wonderful sitter and I will use him again in the future. Aimee McFarling”
“Valerie was awesome! I didn’t know what I was going to do about doggy daycare on Columbus Day since my normal daycare was shut down for the holiday. Valerie was so personable, and I could see her love for dogs when I first met her! Wish I could use her more, but Clyde is just super familiar with where he typically goes. I highly recommend Valerie! She had to have been very attentive to take so many pics of him! Loved her! She was awesome!”
“Arnelia has been fantastic with my German Shepherd on both visits! She’s been so accommodating with last-minute requests and went above and beyond both times. During our recent stay, she even took the time to brush out my dog’s undercoat - which was much needed during this heavy shedding season. My dog looks so much better and lighter now! She clearly cares about the dogs she watches and provides excellent service. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve worked at the rescue in my hometown for a few years now, I’ve worked in 2 different grooming salons, and have also been involved with some vets. Working at a rescue and a grooming salon gives you so much experience to learn more about each breed and each dog. You get to learn everything about each sweetheart so we’ll over time that you also start to love them like they’re you’re own. I had to deal with almost every experience when it comes to pets as well. I love dogs so very much they have such a soft place in my heart and it’s always great to get to learn about their owners as well when they’re steady customers! Boarding and grooming is something I do full time on my own, I’m home all the time unless I need to run and errand or two. Your pets will get lots and lots of attention their whole stay!

About: I've worked in animal care for several years, starting at a dog boarding and daycare facility where I spent six years. I began as a kennel technician and worked my way up to general manager, gaining extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, and medical needs. I'm currently pursuing a long-term goal of becoming a veterinary technician. In my free time, I foster animals for a local rescue that I'm passionate about. I take pride in using fear-free handling techniques, understanding animal body language, working through behavioral challenges, and providing compassionate care for medically compromised pets. While I'm relatively new to Rover, I've been caring for pets in my home for years. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time as a veterinary assistant at a local animal hospital. I have at least two days off each week and work a half day on Wednesdays. While I am away during part of the day, I come home every day during my hour lunch break to let your baby out for a potty break, playtime, and some extra love and attention. In the evenings, I enjoy taking dogs for walks (weather permitting) and spending quality time with them. When I have pets in my care, I plan my schedule around their needs. I avoid making additional plans so I can provide plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, cuddles, and consistency with their normal routine. I do provide care in your home, with the same schedule/availability. Such as; going to your home on my break to care for the pet(s), only sitting for one family at a time, walks, etc. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and at home as possible while you're away. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a pool that is currently being fenced for added safety. My philosophy is simple: pets are never left unattended outside. If your pet is crate-trained or simply feels more comfortable in a crate, I have plenty of space to set one up for daytime or overnight use. I only care for one client's pet(s) at a time to provide the safest environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. I have a designated "dog cabinet" stocked with essentials like pill pockets, peanut butter, and ability to keep any medications your pet may need during their stay. If your pet rides in my vehicle, I use a pet seat belt to help keep them secure during travel. I ask that owners provide a properly fitted harness or collar and leash. If you're unable to do so, I have extras available (with your permission) to safely transfer your pet to and from my home and for walks. I do my best to maintain your pet's normal feeding schedule, so I appreciate detailed instructions regarding meals, treats, and any special preferences. I also always ask about food sensitivities, allergies, or other dietary needs to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. These apply to in your home as well.
“Great daycare experience - Nugget came home happy and tired from playing all day! He had a great experience and we would definitely schedule again! Great communication and wonderful family! Thanks for watching our pup!”
About: I have 6 years of professional animal experience!

Since I’m home for most of the day, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. When caring for your pets in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special safety requirements. I treat every home and pet with respect and make sure pets are supervised and cared for throughout my visit.

About: I've always had at least one dog at any given time, and up to 4 at the most. I know what a fur baby needs, whether it's petting and naps to repetitive frisbee or tennis ball play!

I began as a kennel technician and worked my way up to general manager, gaining extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, and medical needs. I'm currently pursuing a long-term goal of becoming a veterinary technician. In my free time, I foster animals for a local rescue that I'm passionate about. I take pride in using fear-free handling techniques, understanding animal body language, working through behavioral challenges, and providing compassionate care for medically compromised pets. While I'm relatively new to Rover, I've been caring for pets in my home for years. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time as a veterinary assistant at a local animal hospital. I have at least two days off each week and work a half day on Wednesdays. While I am away during part of the day, I come home every day during my hour lunch break to let your baby out for a potty break, playtime, and some extra love and attention. In the evenings, I enjoy taking dogs for walks (weather permitting) and spending quality time with them. When I have pets in my care, I plan my schedule around their needs. I avoid making additional plans so I can provide plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, cuddles, and consistency with their normal routine. I do provide care in your home, with the same schedule/availability. Such as; going to your home on my break to care for the pet(s), only sitting for one family at a time, walks, etc. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and at home as possible while you're away. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a pool that is currently being fenced for added safety. My philosophy is simple: pets are never left unattended outside. If your pet is crate-trained or simply feels more comfortable in a crate, I have plenty of space to set one up for daytime or overnight use. I only care for one client's pet(s) at a time to provide the safest environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. I have a designated "dog cabinet" stocked with essentials like pill pockets, peanut butter, and ability to keep any medications your pet may need during their stay. If your pet rides in my vehicle, I use a pet seat belt to help keep them secure during travel. I ask that owners provide a properly fitted harness or collar and leash. If you're unable to do so, I have extras available (with your permission) to safely transfer your pet to and from my home and for walks. I do my best to maintain your pet's normal feeding schedule, so I appreciate detailed instructions regarding meals, treats, and any special preferences. I also always ask about food sensitivities, allergies, or other dietary needs to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. These apply to in your home as well.

About: I was raised with cats and dogs my whole life. We have had our fur baby since he was 6 weeks old and he is now 4 years old. His name is Chunk. He loves children, animals his best friend is Baxter he is 12 years old and he is a Schnauzer. I have had a cleaning business for a little over 10 years and even tho is was not apart of my job I started falling in love with my customers babies. I will love on them, take them out to potty, give them fresh water and treats and clean up any messes they have made and then I decided to start offering to take care of them for the customers if they needed a sitter. So I take care of both cats and dogs. I never knew that I could love these babies as much as I love my family, I consider all the fur babies my family. My Chunk Chunk is my very best friend. I am his person. I potty trained him, I taught him to sit, shake, lay, and when I use the word calm if he gets super excited then he will automatically sit and behave. He is very playful with other animals. He has never been aggressive or biten anyone bc all he has ever known is love. If you choose me to take care of your babies know that I will take care of them and love them as if they were my own children. We are animal lovers and would love to meet and have more fur babies in out lives. I clean houses part time. So I am very flexible when it comes to your babies routine. When I speak with the customer I always like for the customer to write a list of the babies daily routine and then I have a filing system set up with all your babies information so we make sure everything is done when it supposed to be and then I set a reminder and a timer for breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time, snack time, and if medication is needed as well. I am super ocd so I have a folder for every baby to keep records of everything. If your baby is at my home we live in a 3 bedroom apartment they are free to run around anywhere and they are allowed on the couch and the bed. Alot of times we sit on the couch or floor with them and watch TV and get the puppy toys out and let them play. We take the puppies out multiple times a day to go potty or to go walk and let them play outside. If I watch them at your home I do like a list of instructions and what they're normal routine is so I can keep them comfortable and happy and I want them to feel safe with me. I like to learn they're personalities so I can learn who they are, what they like and what they don't like. I am one who loves to hold them alot and pet them.
About: I love taking care of animals, and I love to play with the animals and show them love and affection. I used to own a cat and a dog but I did not have the financial means to take care of them. But, I am available any day of the week and even weekends. I hope that I can get to know your fur baby or babies more and I hope to form a bond with y'all. I'm not just in it for the animals, I'm also willing to form a bond with the owners. I am very much a caring person and love people as well as animals. I hope to hear from you soon! Thanks for taking the time to read this info!

“Awesome sitter! They took great care of my two dogs for five days and kept me updated throughout the stay with daily messages and updates on how they were doing. It was clear that my dogs were happy and well taken care of, which made me feel much more comfortable being away from them. No complaints at all, and I would absolutely book with them again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Ray was outstanding, always replies back, always sends pictures. He made me feel real comfortable leaving my "son" with him. Very friendly guy and he even gave my buddy a scarf/handkerchief. Strongly recommend Ray. If I need a dog sitter again, Ray is who I am calling.”
“Kristin was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared. She kept us updated while we were away and made the whole experience stress-free.

“My dogs came home happy and well-cared for after their stay with Lindsey. She responded quickly whenever I reached out and kept me updated on how they were settling in. The photos she sent were so appreciated, especially since I hate being away from my pups. She truly made me feel comfortable and confident that they were in good hands. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I will definitely book with Lindsey again!”
“This was my second time using rover and my German Shepherd had a great time. I appreciate all the updates and the level of care Ms. Shaniece provided. Sometimes I get nervous with leaving Zeke because he’s so big, energetic and at times requires a lot of attention, however, could tell once I picked him up he was in good hands.”
“Valerie did an excellent job of caring for my old girl while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing that my Princess was being cared for and given the attention she needed. I will book Valerie again and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible, caring person to board their dog.”
“Kyrie was amazing! Cooper had a blast while we were away. Kyrie was very attentive to Cooper and frequently took him on walks. He kept us updated with lots of photos and videos making our trip away stress free and knowing Cooper was in good hands. Highly recommend and will be using Kyrie again in the future.”
“Julia was great! She was responsive and kept me posted throughout my pets stay with her. She was always available and quick to answer my questions. She sent me pictures of my puppy everyday and kept me up to date with everything. She made sure my puppy was well taken care of. She was even kind enough to meet with me a few days before my pet stayed with. My dog has separation anxiety but she did great with Julia. Thank you so much Julia for making this experience as smooth as possible.”

I highly recommend Bryan, we will definitely try to book with him again next time we are in the area, I'd give him 10 stars if I could!”

“Alexander was a lifesaver when I had to go out of town short notice. He was quick to respond, and didn’t hesitate to watch her. He greeted her with a treat and followed my rules that I have instilled at my house with Honey. I would most definitely use him again in the future. Thank you, again!”
“Dylan and his wife were very accommodating. After returning from my trip, I was held up at the airport which pushed my pickup time back a couple of hours. They were so sweet to not make an issue of it and had my pups ready to go once I arrived. Dylan communicates wonderfully (better than I do, lol). I'm very appreciative!”
“Kayla did a great job with my precious Honey - a 3 year old American Terrier Pit Bull. Honey received so much love and attention. Pictures and updates came around the clock. I will be booking her in the future.”
