“Myle provided my pup with the most love and attention and I couldn't be happier that I found her here on Rover! The peace of mind that she provided me over the holiday weekend was priceless! Blessed.”
“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“We have been using Rover for many years for our miniature golden doodle who is now 12 years old. We recently had to find a new sitter when our previous sitter was no longer available. I have to say we were lucky to find Josh. He took our Charley in for a week stay and treated her just like his own. She felt very at ease with him and felt right at home. She seemed to enjoy her stay there and I would highly recommend Josh. He did an outstanding job. Thank you Josh.”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“Our first booking through Rover went very well. Kat let our cat, Sophie, adjust to her new surroundings at her own pace. Kat did a great job keeping us posted and making Sophie feel at home.”
“Susan is a very nice person and you can tell she really loves dogs . She was very good at communicating and sending photos during my dog’s stay . Susan’s husband Mark is also very good and a dog lover . My dog had a lot of fun with her dogs . I highly recommend her . She took really good care of my dog for the week he stayed .”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Nathan took excellent care of our dog Luna. He provided updates and pictures and Luna had a great time. I will definitely use his service again in the future and definitely recommend him.”
“Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.”
“Highly recommend! I made a last minute booking that Kaylee and Nick accommodated. Very polite and sent me daily updates. Skaar was wiped out for 2 days after his visit! Will definitely book again. Thank you both!”
“Our baby boy Ronnie really enjoyed his stay with Tiffany and her family. They made him part of the family while he was there and he was in very good spirits when we arrived, which means he had fun and he felt very comfortable! Thanks Tiffany for giving us such peace of mind for a few days knowing our Ronnie was in very good hands!”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Houdini and Max enjoyed their stay with Ashley. I felt confident in her ability to take care of my pups, especially my old pup that takes meds daily. Thank you, Ashley! We will definitely use Ashley again in the future.”
“My dog Dash loves going over to Rachel’s house to play with her dogs and of course to go see Rachel! She always makes sure that Dash gets enough play time and goes on plenty of walks. Dash also loves car rides and gets to tag along whenever she has quick errands to run, and he often gets spoiled with pup cups through the Starbucks drive-thru. With my permission and built trust, I have allowed her to take him anywhere to run errands, visit friends, and family. Thank you so much Rachel for taking care of Dash!”
“Amanda and her family are amazing. Always go above and beyond and will love your pet like their own. My dog has some health issues, and they have never hesitated to give medicine and even coordinated with my vet while I was away. It's as close to a home away from home as you can get.”

About: I have years of experience training outside cats to be inside cats at my family’s house in the country. This includes litter box training, multi-cat socialization, and more. I am super patient with skittish kitties, and I love to see them slowly start to warm up to me. I have had cats of my own for three years now, and have loved getting to build connections with them. I am so excited to meet your pets!
About: We have 4 cats in our home, and have fostered several others. My cats all have very different personalities and temperaments and understand that yours will too. I provide attentive, loving care and always treat pets like family. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you're away. I stick closely to their routine, give lots of playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Whether it's walks, feeding, or just good company, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have two spoiled pups of my own. I offer attentive, loving care—treating every dog like they’re part of my family! Though I work full-time during the week, I’m available on most weekends and can check in on weeknights after 7, providing consistent care for your pet. In my home, pets will enjoy a fenced backyard, playtime with my two dogs, plenty of toys, and an extra crate if needed for a safe, fun stay!
About: I have over 8 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I provide dependable dog walking services focused on safety, exercise, and fun. I’m comfortable with puppies who are still learning leash manners as well as senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, basic reinforcement of commands, or extra patience and care. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own every time we head out for a walk. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I’m also available most weekends. Whether your dog needs a consistent daily walk or occasional drop ins, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, on time care you can count on. Your dog’s safety is always my number one priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and any special needs. I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level, age, and personality, whether that means a brisk, active walk or a slow, relaxed stroll. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.
About: I’ve cared for cats by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality, and I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to their individual needs. I’ll always provide plenty of care and send photo updates so you know your cat is doing well.
About: I’ve been raised around dogs since I was born. I’ve owned multiple dogs until they were in their old ages. I am experienced with cats dogs pigs and other smaller animals. I offer daily walks, a ton of belly rubs and attention. We have another young dog with high energy. We love giving out treats. Your dog is safe with me. I offer daily walks. I offer tons and tons of belly rubs. I am super active and we love going To pet co and petsmart. I work full time out of home but my wife is full time in the home. We allow couch surfers and bed snuggles. She has her own rover so she’s background check certified as well. We will tend to any food or med needs. We are experienced with crate training and only will use it if needed. We leash in our own yard and leash on walks. Any loose dogs we will stay clear of while taking care of your fur baby.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with pets and understands that they’re family. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Over the years, I’ve provided pet care for friends, family, and many other pet owners, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your pet needs a potty break, playtime, fresh water, a walk, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I work a unique schedule of eight days on and six days off, which gives me a great deal of flexibility to help care for your pets. At this time, I’m offering drop-in visits only, as I have a young child at home and am not accepting overnight stays. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to provide reliable, compassionate care for yours! My shift time along with the unique 8 days on, 6 days off schedule that I work allows me the flexibility I need to help with your pets. I do my best to care for your pet just how you would. I always want to make sure they are happy and comfortable with a new face coming into their home.

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time and I always keep the water bowl full. My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the chance to meet y'all! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.

About: We love dogs and your little one will receive lots of love and one on one attention as we welcome him or her into our home. Our little Ronnie loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller. We don't have a fenced in yard, which means we will always be playing with and alongside your dog keeping him or her safe and happy and comfortable.

We only care for one dog at a time, besides our own little guy Ronnie... so the two will become best friends!

We make it a team effort so your dog will always have his or her needs met and get maximum love and attention. Safety comes first with your pet.

We will welcome them into our family and treat them gently and with compassion... realizing that it's tough being away from your owners for a few days. We will love your puppy as much as we love our own Ronnie!

About: I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience, and an Equissage-certified canine massage therapist. I notice things most pet sitters don’t. I understand that boarding can disrupt a dog’s nervous system. Some dogs do better at home while you’re away, and my massage therapy background means I have techniques that genuinely help calm and settle an anxious or overstimulated dog in their own environment. During drop-in visits and walks, I’m assessing your dog the whole time. Gait, energy, behavior, subtle signs that something’s off. You’ll hear about it either way. I’m experienced with medically complex dogs, seniors, and anxious dogs, and equally comfortable with your healthy, bouncy lab who just needs a solid walk. Cats are absolutely welcome. Cat owners, I see you. Your cat has a whole life, a whole routine, and very strong opinions. I get it. Fill me in on the Royal Treatment and I’ll do my best to make sure it happens. I look forward to meeting you and your animal friend(s) soon. 🐾 I offer drop-in visits and dog walks seven days a week. Visits are typically 30 minutes. I send updates with photos at every visit so you know exactly how things are going. I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience. I know how to recognize when something is wrong and what to do about it. All dogs are kept leashed on walks unless we are in a securely fenced area. If your dog jumps fences, we do not go off leash outside. I do not combine your dog with unfamiliar dogs without prior owner approval. I come to you. Drop-in visits and walks take place in your home and neighborhood, which means your dog stays in a familiar environment with their own smells, sounds, and routine intact. I treat every client’s home with respect and leave it exactly as I found it. For drop-in visits that occur at dark or during nighttime hours, I may occasionally have another person with me. This is for my own safety.

I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully while giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I respect each pet’s routine and personality to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away!

I’ve cared for puppies as young as two months old through senior dogs up to 13 years old, and I truly adore spending time with each one of them whether we’re throwing the ball in the yard for hours or relaxing on the porch couch. I’m patient and consistent with young pups who are still learning routines and basic training, and I’m gentle and attentive with senior dogs who may need medication, extra comfort, or slower walks.

Pet care definitely fits very easily into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to accommodate any specific needs, whether that’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, evening walks, or overnight care. I’m happy to adjust my day to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! I am also available for housesitting and truly enjoy staying in a home environment so pets can stay in their familiar space with consistent care and just someone to hangout with!

I will most definitely work hard to maintain their normal schedule, feeding routines, exercise, and any special instructions you may provide me. Additionally, I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and treat them with the same care and responsibility I would my own. Clear communication is also very important to me, so I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and any checkins you might want for peace of mind when you’re away!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life and have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I currently have a 9-year-old Boston Terrier who is truly the love of my life, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog.

“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“We have been using Rover for many years for our miniature golden doodle who is now 12 years old. We recently had to find a new sitter when our previous sitter was no longer available. I have to say we were lucky to find Josh. He took our Charley in for a week stay and treated her just like his own. She felt very at ease with him and felt right at home. She seemed to enjoy her stay there and I would highly recommend Josh. He did an outstanding job. Thank you Josh.”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Nathan took excellent care of our dog Luna. He provided updates and pictures and Luna had a great time. I will definitely use his service again in the future and definitely recommend him.”
“Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.”
“Highly recommend! I made a last minute booking that Kaylee and Nick accommodated. Very polite and sent me daily updates. Skaar was wiped out for 2 days after his visit! Will definitely book again. Thank you both!”
“Our baby boy Ronnie really enjoyed his stay with Tiffany and her family. They made him part of the family while he was there and he was in very good spirits when we arrived, which means he had fun and he felt very comfortable! Thanks Tiffany for giving us such peace of mind for a few days knowing our Ronnie was in very good hands!”
“Houdini and Max enjoyed their stay with Ashley. I felt confident in her ability to take care of my pups, especially my old pup that takes meds daily. Thank you, Ashley! We will definitely use Ashley again in the future.”
“Amanda and her family are amazing. Always go above and beyond and will love your pet like their own. My dog has some health issues, and they have never hesitated to give medicine and even coordinated with my vet while I was away. It's as close to a home away from home as you can get.”
“Ali did a wonderful job of watching my 92 y/os Mom little white velcro dog. We felt like she listened to us and took loving care of him. Thanks for the great experience. We Highly recommend this sitter.”
“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”
“Shannon and her family were so amazing with our pups! We got daily updates with pictures of them enjoying their time away from home. Definitely would recommend for anyone and will return the next time we someone to watch our pups!”
“I have two small dogs. One of them is super sweet and everybody’s favorite. The other is standoffish and identifies as Houdini. They both did very well staying for almost a week at Katrina‘s house. When they came back home they were calm, with no signs of anxiety. I have had to use dog sitters three times this year already. This was the first time with Katrina. They did much better with her. She seems to genuinely enjoy having them stay with her.”
