“Once again, we had a wonderful trip and peace of mind knowing my Stella girl was taken care of greatly! Linda and her family feel like family now. She is an amazing person.”
“Delmina was awesome with Titus. She was very loving and caring with him. In fact she spoiled him rotten! She treated him like one of her own. I will and have recommended her to friends interested in her services.”
“She was very attentive with my Cinnamon. My anxiety immediately went away after meeting her because I knew she was in good hands. I’ll definitely be utilizing her again. If you are looking for a sitter…don’t look any further. She’s amazing 🩷”
“Lania was amazing. She send photos and videos. She kept me updated daily on my fur babies. She was very professional, caring and attentive to my boys. I highly recommend her services. My have another place to call home for visits.”
“This was our first experience with boarding the pups. We were nervous and didn’t think we could find someone to care about them and treat them the way we do. Josh and Kerith exceeded all expectations. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I received multiple updates per day along with pictures. They even have a dog friendly/accessible pool. That’s where my lab spent most of the week. If you want your dogs to have their own vacation while you’re away on yours, send them to Josh and Kerith.”
“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.”
“Valeria was quick to respond and suuuper helpful on a short notice! She has a lovely family who played with our pups and gave them plenty of love. So happy we could have someone reliable take care of them!”
“Samantha was AMAZING for our dogs. We have a puppy and we’re very nervous about leaving him, and our Boston needs his own emotional support human so it was not ideal to leave him either…. They were both so well taken care of and we appreciate the love she gave our boys while they stayed with her!”
“Daphne continues to provide a 5-star pet sitting experience to my Sandi. Her professionalism, quality of care, responsiveness, and cleanliness have not wavered since our first visit in 2023. I never worry about Sandi in her care and Sandi is also very pleased.”
“Anita was absolutely amazing this was my first time using the app and would 10/10 recommend her to anybody. From the updates to the picture updates to all around communication was literally amazing having her. Will definitely use her in the future for sure”
“Dallas had an amazing boarding experience. The care, attention, and genuine love Pamela & Barry showed made all the difference. He was treated like family from the moment he arrived — happy, comfortable, and completely at ease. The updates, photos, and thoughtful communication gave me so much peace of mind. I’m truly grateful for the level of care they provide. We’ll definitely be back.”
“Joey and his wife are amazing. They take great care of our Bella. Would recommend to anyone that needs any type of boarding. I was hesitant when I first found out about Rover, but after meeting them and leaving our Bella with them the first time, we have loved them and the way they take care or her. They are our first contact when we go on a trip and need someone to take care of her. Thank you so much Joey!”
“We had an excellent experience with Miriam and her husband! From the moment we dropped Maxx off, we knew he was in great hands. Their home was clean, welcoming, and they were both incredibly kind, nurturing, and attentive. They sent us daily pictures and updates, took Maxx on walks, fed him on his normal schedule, gave him a new toy, and even followed all of our sleeping instructions. They also have a huge fenced yard where he had plenty of room to run and play safely. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. We felt completely at ease while we were away, and it was obvious that Maxx had a wonderful time. We would absolutely trust Miriam with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“I recently had to travel and entrusted my beloved Angel to our dog sitter. As always, she did an outstanding job taking care of her. The regular updates, including heartwarming videos and pictures, truly melted my heart and eased my worries while I was away. I couldn't ask for a more caring and reliable dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“We are new in the area and were so happy to find Rebekah and her family. She was reliable and our pups were so happy to play with her two boys. The house is spacious and they have a huge fenced yard for the dogs to have fun in. I highly recommend this sitter and plan to use her again!”
“I was very nervous leaving Bucky for the first time and was concerned that he would not handle it well. But Mika kept me updated with lots of pictures and it seems like Bucky enjoyed his time at her house. I will be using her again in the future!”
“JR took such great care of our baby 😀 He is diligent on asking questions about Theos care that we felt he was like family. Could tell dogs bring him great joy and Theo loved all the attention. Thank you JR!”
“Words cannot express how thankful I am for Patti! She took such good care of Cooper! She kept me updated with pictures and how he was doing during his stay! He was able to run free, play and meet new fur friends! It put my mind at ease that he was in good hands! Will use her again for sure! Thankful! 🐶❤️”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rutledge
About: Neighbors, friends and family continue to entrust me with their pets of all ages! My pup has hiked to high heights with me, but I’ve also loved many in their final, precious days. Wherever your loved one is, I’ll be sure to care for your fur babe like you would! I am a mom of one that works full time for a University from home. Monday through Friday I work from 8-5 with two 15 minute breaks and a lunch break of at least one hour. I am a triathlete that is often up at 5 AM training. Then, I go on a walk every day on my lunch and often again when I log off for the day. I’d love for your fur babe to tag along! I have two fenced in yards full of sun and plenty of shade. I have a 40 pound doodle that can keep them company and give them plenty of exercise if needed, but I can also keep them separated if that is preferred. I have fresh well water and a walking trail around our property. I can also crate your dog or offer them a bed if they need. Otherwise, your loved one will roam free with lots of play time and cuddles. Whatever your fur babe needs, I’m here to serve you!
“Felicia was great with Grayci. She sent tons of photos and videos to reassure me that I made the right decision. Before I knew it, Grayci was handing out kisses like they were candy. So happy my fur baby loved her. Will be using Felicia again soon.”

“Winston had a wonderful day with his new friends James, his wife De and their dogs Charlee and Chloe. James did everything we could ask for and more to make Winston's stay a success.

This was the first time we used Rover.com and it was a great experience. We will definitely be booking with James again.”

About: Your pet's new favorite human (after you, of course I bring veterinary experience and a foster's heart to every walk, drop-in, and boarding stay. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from high-energy pups to shy or sensitive pets who need a little extra patience. Whether we're out for a fun, structured walk or relaxing at home, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress-free. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, so your pet feels understood and cared for every step of the way. I'm also confident with basic handling, medication routines, and keeping a clean, calm environment. Safety is always my priority-secure leashes, awareness of surroundings, and thoughtful care. You'll get plenty of updates, photos, and honest communication, so you always know how your pet is doing. With me, your pet gets more than just care-they get attention, patience, and lots of love. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I have worked in a full service veterinary hospital, and in my home, someone is always present—so pets get constant supervision, playtime, and companionship. I keep routines consistent and tailor care to each pet. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be part of our daily life. Safety and trust are my top priorities, especially when pets are staying in my home. I create a calm, structured environment where they can settle in comfortably and feel secure. My home features a fully fenced acre where dogs can safely run, play, sunbathe, or relax in the shade. I’m experienced managing multiple dogs and cats, so I carefully supervise all interactions and match energy levels to keep everyone safe and stress-free. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—including feeding schedules, medications, and preferences—so their stay feels familiar and consistent. With hands-on veterinary experience, I’m also able to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and respond quickly if needed. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quieter space, I adjust to their needs and let them settle in at their own pace. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in a safe, attentive, and loving environment.

About: I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own—offering not just feeding and walks, but real love, attention, and comfort.

I have a fence built, I have three cats and a dog but right now I’m not looking to host any dogs, just dog sitting or walking
About: As far back as I can remember I’ve owned or cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters you name it and I’ve probably cared for it. I love dogs the most and currently own three. Training them, caring for them, playing with them are my passions. I can bathe, trim nails, give medications, train them, walk them properly, and integrate them into packs when requested. I work from home M-F and have flexibility with my hours. I like to travel and I know the cost of putting my dogs up in boarding or day care facilities. We've decided to reduce our travel for now to save up money. I am happy to help out where needed. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. We have a fenced in yard the dogs can run and play in. We also have 2 large dog crates and one small dog crate we keep in case the dogs want/need to be isolated. When we are home our dogs are able to play inside and outside. We have parks close by and take our dogs on walks 2-3 times a day. Your pet would either walk with them or separately depending on his/her ability. We play fetch, we do commands, we can run them or play in water if it’s hot. We love dog parks and shaded walking trails as well. Dogs have the ability to stay inside or outside at our home.. I work from home and can watch them inside while I work. I let them play outside several times a day as wells. Dogs have the ability to stay inside or outside at our home. We have dog beds for them to lie on. We have a big yard and a pool.
“Michelle and her husband greeted and welcomed Moses to their home so sweetly! This was the first time I had ever left Moses with someone he did not know and they made it easy!! Michelle’s husband even picked Moses up and cradled him as I left. She has been great with Moses and his adjustment to her home and care and has also been very kind to me with updates and pics!! We will return as long as she will let us!!”
About: *Update: In regards to the new weekly feature, I can only do so in YOUR home. I am a cat person but I also love dogs. I'm an equal opportunist lol . I've taken care of cats, dogs, even hamsters, fish and plants for neighbors, friends, family and later on for clients through apps like these. I started taking care of pets at age 10 which was around the same time I got my cat, Allegra. I loved her like my own child. We would even take walks together. She lived a good 14 years but that of course was still too short for me. She was a family member to me, not just a cat. She was even kind to the random strays I would bring home and be forced to return lol. I also grew up with my dog Angel (pictured). She lived for 14 years too. Her last few years were rough and she was on a lot of medications. I have experience administering those. We had to put her down and that was such a hard decision. Another family member lost. I'm still proud that they both lived long lives. I've had other cats short term since then. I adopted a black cat, Maleficent Marie, in February 2023 and shes my new fur baby. I started using Rover in 2018 when it first started but deactivated because I lived in areas that didn't use the app at all. I can't wait to meet your pet and I'll make them a priority like they're family! I'm currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to drop in or even stay with your furry family members. My home is not open to animals at the moment and I can sincerely vouch that I will treat your home respectfully like mine or anyone else's. I'm also fully vaccinated and take Covid seriously. I don't mind wearing a mask for long hours or at all and will abide by any covid restrictions you personally have. My goal is to build a trusting relationship and to have more repeat clientele!
“Absolutely love Tara! She treats my sweet baby like one of her own! We will definitely be back and I would recommend her to ANYONE that needs any type of care for their pets. Jameson went to doggy day care and has been more worn out and happy than he ever has been at home!”
About: I have always had a soft spot in my heart for dogs. I have carried this love into adulthood and I enjoy having them in my life. When your four-legged family member is with us they will be treated as one of the family. They will be doted upon and they will be constantly engaged, touched, and talked to. We go for walks in our 1-acre fenced backyard, which facilitates safe rewarding exploration and discovery. We allow the visitors to play and interact with our loving and friendly standard poodles who are great role models to each other and to visiting pooches. Even though your baby will be on their doggie Vaca, We will still use every opportunity to encourage learning, good manners, and good behavior by giving treats and positive reinforcement throughout the day. Stability, engagement, routine, and structure makes a happy dog and we aim to make sure that every four-legged friend who lodges with us, is happy and never wants to leave. Our resident babies eat twice per day and are allowed out for potty breaks three times per day. If it is a rainy day we do indoor activities in our 35x40 temperature controlled dog suite and we even watch a little "Dog TV" We have a great time, rain or shine! Sleeping arrangements will depend on what your baby is comfortable with but we do not allow our pets on the furniture or in our beds (at least when daddy is around). We have kennels but we allow the dogs to sleep anywhere they want to in the dog suite. I am a retired nurse and I am always home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs in my day. We have a huge fenced in backyard where all the dogs enjoy their time outdoors. We also have plenty of equipment in the yard for their enjoyment.

About: Hey fur parents, I just wanted to come on here and provide a 5 star service to you and your fur baby! Here’s a little bit about me… I’ve pet sat, walked pets, administered medication to many pets that require it on a day to day basis (via orally and injection), and many drop-in visits for a little over 5 years now to highly anxious, aggressive, and elderly animals. I’ve also worked it the veterinary field assisting doctors to provide hands on care to your fur baby for a little over a year now. I’m also in with the AKC. I compete with dogs in conformation, agility, dock diving, scent work, and barn hunt etc. and have been doing that for about a year with all types of breeds and sizes. I have always had a special connection with dogs and all animals for that matter and enjoy every second I can get with any of them. I look forward to doing some pet sitting or walking for you and your fur baby! I work part-time at the veterinary clinic (2 times a week for 5 hours a day) which gives me plenty of time during the week to play with your precious fur baby! I’m also a college student who has recently switched to online classes giving me even more time with your pet! I have a fenced in yard for endless potty breaks and plenty of play area! I have two loving Labrador retriever’s dogs to bring your pet a buddy to play endless tug of war with or if your pet isn’t on the energetic side just a good ole snuggle buddy! 😁

If you tell me your dog eats from a certain bowl, waits at a certain door, prefers a particular route, or has a weird little routine that makes no sense to anyone but them — I’m going to follow it. I’ll also keep you updated with clear notes and photos so you’re not left wondering how things went. I’m not a trainer or medical-care provider, and I don’t administer medications. What I do offer is consistency, patience, careful attention, and reliable care from someone who genuinely enjoys being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already spend time each day walking and caring for dogs. I’m available for scheduled walks and drop-in visits during the day and can be flexible when bookings are planned in advance. I especially enjoy building a predictable routine with repeat clients, so recurring weekday walks or regular drop-ins are a great fit for me. I’m also happy to accommodate occasional vacation or one-time visits when my schedule allows. I care for pets in their own home by following their established routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to feeding instructions, potty routines, leash preferences, household rules, favorite toys, and any specific notes you leave for me. I take safety seriously, including securely closing doors and gates, checking leashes and harnesses before walks, and being mindful of the pet’s behavior and surroundings. I also respect your home and belongings and leave things as I found them. During each visit, I’ll provide attentive care, companionship, and clear updates with photos so you know how your pet is doing. I currently provide walks and drop-in visits only and do not administer medications.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m a retired veteran with a flexible schedule, and I provide dependable, attentive care to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like family. I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and can provide dependable care, exercise, companionship, feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins when you need them. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s routine, ensure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment, and keep you updated with messages and photos. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 from friends and family, I’ve always loved dogs, but my parents weren’t really a fan of them, now that I move in to my own house, that has plenty of space for dogs to run and play I’d love to take care of your pets as if they were my own I’m a stay at home mom of 2 girls and 1 baby boy, I’m all day at home almost every single day of the week I have a fenced yard, my backyard it’s kind of unusual, it’s like a double fenced yard, one for my house and behind that is another fenced yard for my husbands horses, so if you’d like your dog to have some kind of farm experience they can be on both yards, but if you preferred for your dog to stay away from the horses that can be too

About: I have my own dachshund that I take care of on a daily basis but also have 3 other family dogs tha range from a dachshund to a german shepherd. I’ve always helped taken care of the family dogs growing up. I work 3 times a week and have school but my schedule is very flexible and I can adjust it around based on what I have going on. Any pet in my home that’s not mine would be treated like my own pets. They would be taken care of all the time. The same would apply in someone else’s home. I would follow a schedule feeding and letting the pets out just like I do with my own.

“Michelle was great! We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her and her family. Her dogs are well behaved and put off a good calm energy that mine picked up on immediately. We received daily updates with pics/videos which was a very nice touch and set our minds at ease. We will definitely be using her again and super excited to find someone on Rover that was so close to our house.”
“Once again, we had a wonderful trip and peace of mind knowing my Stella girl was taken care of greatly! Linda and her family feel like family now. She is an amazing person.”
“Delmina was awesome with Titus. She was very loving and caring with him. In fact she spoiled him rotten! She treated him like one of her own. I will and have recommended her to friends interested in her services.”
“She was very attentive with my Cinnamon. My anxiety immediately went away after meeting her because I knew she was in good hands. I’ll definitely be utilizing her again. If you are looking for a sitter…don’t look any further. She’s amazing 🩷”
“This was our first experience with boarding the pups. We were nervous and didn’t think we could find someone to care about them and treat them the way we do. Josh and Kerith exceeded all expectations. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I received multiple updates per day along with pictures. They even have a dog friendly/accessible pool. That’s where my lab spent most of the week. If you want your dogs to have their own vacation while you’re away on yours, send them to Josh and Kerith.”
“Michelle and Philip are a fun couple. Full of love and compassion that flows throughout their home between their children and pets. Accommodating our request with a one week notice was a blessing. My fur girls are new to boarding based on Michelle's updates and photos they were able to adjust and remained comfortable during their extended weekend. My fur babies returned home healthy and happy 😊.”
“We recently had the privilege of selecting Deborah as our sitter for Scarlett, our 6 months old German Shepherd. Scarlett was there for a 6-day visit while we vacationed. Scarlett adjusted immediately to Deborah's handling of her, the change in environment, and the other dogs. She really took a liking to Deborah's dog Sugar. Also, Scarlett is a large puppy and I have a little trouble with her on the leash. Deborah showed me a better way to manage her when I walk her! We would definitely use Deborah's services again and I definitely recommend her.”
“Valeria was quick to respond and suuuper helpful on a short notice! She has a lovely family who played with our pups and gave them plenty of love. So happy we could have someone reliable take care of them!”
“Samantha was AMAZING for our dogs. We have a puppy and we’re very nervous about leaving him, and our Boston needs his own emotional support human so it was not ideal to leave him either…. They were both so well taken care of and we appreciate the love she gave our boys while they stayed with her!”
“Anita was absolutely amazing this was my first time using the app and would 10/10 recommend her to anybody. From the updates to the picture updates to all around communication was literally amazing having her. Will definitely use her in the future for sure”
“Dallas had an amazing boarding experience. The care, attention, and genuine love Pamela & Barry showed made all the difference. He was treated like family from the moment he arrived — happy, comfortable, and completely at ease. The updates, photos, and thoughtful communication gave me so much peace of mind. I’m truly grateful for the level of care they provide. We’ll definitely be back.”
“Joey and his wife are amazing. They take great care of our Bella. Would recommend to anyone that needs any type of boarding. I was hesitant when I first found out about Rover, but after meeting them and leaving our Bella with them the first time, we have loved them and the way they take care or her. They are our first contact when we go on a trip and need someone to take care of her. Thank you so much Joey!”
“I am convinced that Indy likes playing at Tom & Nikki’s more than at home! :) I mean that in the very best way because when I leave Indy with them I know he is safe and having a blast! That makes me very happy. 🐶😁”
“We are new in the area and were so happy to find Rebekah and her family. She was reliable and our pups were so happy to play with her two boys. The house is spacious and they have a huge fenced yard for the dogs to have fun in. I highly recommend this sitter and plan to use her again!”
“Oliver had a wonderful time with Sydney and her family! We were able to meet them and their pup, chowder before our trip and it really put my mind at ease leaving him somewhere new.”
“Words cannot express how thankful I am for Patti! She took such good care of Cooper! She kept me updated with pictures and how he was doing during his stay! He was able to run free, play and meet new fur friends! It put my mind at ease that he was in good hands! Will use her again for sure! Thankful! 🐶❤️”
“We love Mary Kate! Our dog walks right into her house without looking back at us when we drop him off. Honestly, if she was unavailable we’d change our plans to a date she could take him. It’s the most comfortable we’ve ever been leaving our dog.”
