“Kyle was amazing with our pups! I received updates, pics, and videos several times a day. My babies came back to me happy to see me, along with being relaxed and loved. Highly recommend.”
“This being our first time with Rover - and Josh- and being somewhat late in the planning stage, I was of course a bit nervous, but Josh put us at ease right away. He first offered a Meet-n-Greet where we got to visit him at his home, get to know him a bit, and talk about expectations and our senior dog’s needs. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up scheduling and followed up during our trip with daily text updates and pictures to keep us “in the know”. We joked with our family that our pup wouldn’t want to come home with us because she was being loved on so well. 😊 Being a bit of a high anxiety dog, she often will shed a lot when nervous, but when she arrived home it was obvious to me that she had had a good experience. She was not only bright-eyed and tail wagging, but her coat was shiny and smooth – she was happy and feeling good. As any pet lover would agree, it does a momma’s heart good to know that there is someone out there who will care for your fur-baby with the same, if not better intent than your own. We believe Josh treated our dog with the utmost care, and would definitely reach out to him again if we need a safe place for our pet. ~Thanks Josh!!”
“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.”
“Tiffany was amazing with my dog! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Ali did a wonderful job watching my two dogs for a long weekend. She is competent, caring, a proactive communicator, and quick to reply to any questions. My dogs were so happy and content when I picked them up, they wanted to stay at Ali’s place longer. It is so comforting while traveling to know that my dogs are well cared for. I will definitely call on Ali again, I feel so lucky to have found her.”
“My senior Frenchie has anxiety issues and socialization issues (former breeding dog), so naturally I was very nervous bringing her to a stranger. I needed overnight boarding, and didn't know if it would be possible with her anxiety. As soon as I met Kat I was put at ease, from the pictures she sent me I can tell she took to her very quickly. Followed all instructions to a tee, and gave me helpful suggestions on walking her. Every interaction was professional, courteous, and warm. 10/10 would highly recommend!”
“My shy dog was so happy at their house! They are caring, flexible and good communicators. I couldn’t be happier with the care and support they gave to my dog.”
“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!”
“Our Ronnie loves Sana and the one on one attention he gets from her! We will always pick her to watch Ronnie because he absolutely loves her! And she loves him right back. She takes such great care of Ronnie and we completely trust her with our most precious dog Ronnie! Thank you Sana!!”

“Alexia was so great with our kitties! She was very reliable and gave a detailed description of our kitties while we were gone. We highly recommend her to take care of your animals! We will be booking with her again😊”
“Ashleigh did a wonderful job with my high maintenance kitty and her brothers. Very conscientious, good communication and tidy. She stepped up with short notice - I hit the jackpot! Highly recommend.”
“Madison helped considerably to keep my cat from having additional surgery on an ear hemotoma. I have no experience with using a plastic cone used for pets who have surgeries. Madison was able to provide experience on how to use them and gave me education on how to put one on my cat myself. She also was able administer oral medications my cat needed for her recovery. My cat needs more time to recover, but I feel more confident with being able to care for her myself with the help of Madison.”
“I was very grateful and encouraged when I was told that my one-year-old, neutered, male cat ("Houdini") would be given a room shared only with a human occupant until he could adjust to the house. (He had no prior experience interacting with other cats or dogs, other than his mother, whom he lost at a very young age.) I was also given great feedback regarding his well-being, including photos. Tiffany and her mom did an excellent job hosting my precious boy.”
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!
“Sana has been a great hostess/sitter for Lucy. She sends frequent updates and pictures. Also asked great questions to get to know Lucy better. Lucy is an aloof cat who is slow to warm up to people, however she allowed Sana to an approach and pet her almost immediately. She has gone the extra mile to make sure Lucy recieved her medication”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and have cared for cats of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, gentle, and understand that every cat has unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning the litter box, playing, giving medication if instructed, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every cat with the same love and attention I would give my own.
About: I love walking dogs and playing with them. Dogs really are a human’s best friend. As a dog owner, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to try to find care when you are working long hours or have a trip out of town that isn’t dog friendly. I have relied on pet sitting and am so thankful to be able to do the same for others! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly home in Rowlett with a fenced backyard. The streets are wide and great for long walks, the neighborhood is safe, and there are plenty of sites and smells for a dog to enjoy! For cozier times, I have a den in my house that is perfect for dogs to play in! It’s a dog paradise here. When I’m not snuggling and walking dogs, I love to cook, dance, read and listen to music. I’m the happiest when I’m surrounded by family — including my fur babies! I live with my 2 children who are 12 and 15. I grew up with dogs and everyone in the house loves dogs, so your dog will get lots of love! I work from home, so I have lots of opportunity to spend time with your very special dog and keep them safe and loved while you’re away!
“Meghan was so wonderful to our home and our boy, Walter! She was very communicative and helpful; we got a bad storm and Meghan had made plenty of arrangements to be sure she could take care of Walter and even went above and beyond to offer help if our flights were delayed. Walter was happy and relaxed when we got home, and the house was also in great shape. Can’t wait to have her watch him again on our next trip!”
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.
“We used Leanne for drop-in visits to let the dogs out for their noon potty break. It worked out great. She gave me photos with updates that all was well. It gave me peace of mind while I was away that the dogs needs were being attended to.”

“Emily was super great with my pup! She took him early in the morning and she & her dogs wore out mine! I have never seen my 9 month old dog so tired and worn out. She took lots of pictures and replied quickly throughout the days!”
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 love to walk your dog also so he or she will get plenty of potty breaks and time to smell and get to know our neighborhood! We only care for one dog at a time, besides our own little guy Ronnie... so the two will become best friends! Faye is a full-time stay at home dog mom and my husband Rob helps take over dog care responsibilities after and before he goes to work. 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 have a home that is safe and perfect for your little dog. 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!
“Our goldendoodle Gus had a wonderful day with Shannon and her husband! Thank you for making Gus feel welcome in your beautiful home. He was one tired pup when he got home from all the walks and playtime with the stuffed toys!”
“Fantastic care giver for our dog. Equally fantastic person for dealing with scheduling uncertainties, changes, etc. Will definitely try to have her care for our dog the next time we’re in the Cedar Rapids vicinity. Thanks, Ashleigh!”
About: I have been talking care of family and friends animals since the age of 10 and still to this day. From walking to feeding to bathing, and grooming I have done it all. I wouldnt be the person I am today if it wernt for being around and taking care of animals. Pets make my life so much more enjoyable seeing them happy them showing love in return. I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company. I also use to train dogs when I was younger and have had the privilege to train all of my family and friends pets. So if your fur baby is in need of a little extra help I would be thrilled to work with them! I am currently a stay at home mother who has lots of time and love to give and would be honored to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in back yard and a very loving and friendly fur baby to keep your pet company and lots of toys and love to give little one
“The service Ali provided is exceptional. Banksy gets exposure to other dogs, exercise, and training while staying with Ali. Working in the medical field is not always conducive to getting Banksy the mental and physical exercise he needs- Ali provides these and has always been able to work around my unpredictable schedule. I consider myself a routine customer ?”
“Amanda was great with Ellie and was excellent at communication. She explained the process well and helped us to feel like our dog was in great hands while we needed to be away. I highly recommend her!”
About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.
About: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care. Since I was my daughters age I have been pet sitting and working with animals and would like to share the experience I work at home everyday but Thursday. We are available for dog walking and live close to a park trail and we are looking for a family interaction. Crate services, roaming and family integrated home. We are able to walk your animals and provide check ins. I know how animals are part of the family.
“Amanda took great care of my bubbies! I really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the day with updates and pictures so that I knew they were adjusting well.”
“I used to think that no other person could love my dog Oliver as much as I do... until I found Trish. She has been an absolute godsend to us and I could not be more grateful for her. It truly feels like I am dropping my dog off to spend the day with family in a home where he will be loved to no end. I wish I could give her 100 ⭐️'s and I HIGHLY recommend her for anybody in need of dog care!”
“I have used Angie for in home drop ins and in home day care at her place. I had a senior dog and she took the time to learn his needs, and understands the personality of high strung crazy golden retriever. Also love getting the text and picture updates. She was very willing to help me out when I was in pinch also!”
About: I've been taking care of my mom's dog when she is out of town for over 10 years. My brother recently got a puppy and I have added her to my list! Dogs are near and dear to my heart and are treated just like a child on our home! I am a stay at home mom to our 2 year old. We are generally not gone for more than a couple of hours, if at all. We live in a nice quiet town and go for walks often. We have a very shaded front yard that we are in a lot. We take walks often and live in a nice town. Our yard is not fenced in.

I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m committed to following each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for
“Amazingx3 ! This is our first time using Rover and we had an amazing experience with Abbey! She took care of our shy fur baby for a day and he had a great day at her place. She updated us frequently with pictures and videos. Her dog Samantha is very friendly and kind to our dog. Overall, would 100% recommend for everyone!”
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: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have had many neighbors back home request my dog sitting services. I am home all day, as I work remotely, and have a dog of Chocolate lab that loves to play but never gets to spend time with other dogs since we are new to the area. I definitely am open to negotiating prices so just reach out and we can have a conversation! I work remotely and will be available to care for dogs throughout the day and ensure they are well cared for. I work from 8-4 however have a lot of down time to care for dogs. I have a patio for dogs to be outside if they want to as well as a separate office space that my dog sleeps in at night. I also have a crate available if need be.

“Madison has been a life saver! Due to some recent life changes, I was worried that I might have to surrender my dog Tripp because of my long work shifts. Madison is making it possible for me to keep Tripp by walking him and giving him a potty break while I'm at work. Madison has shown great communication and has been extremely reliable. I would highly recommend!”
“Megan does an amazing job with my dog Cooper! Cooper absolutely adores her. She walks him, plays with him, & gives him lots of love. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone!”

About: I’ve been taking care of and loving my own animals and my family’s animals since I was young and they’ve trusted me since I was a teenager to help take care of their animals and walk them when they are gone I take care of my own pets daily and make sure they get lots of enrichment. I love any and all animals and have always wanted to help other people take care of their animals when they need it I have a very friendly dog of my own but not a friendly cat so I will have to pet sit in your home for your pets safety and my cats safety. I make sure my animals are fed and taken care of properly and I’m not afraid to clean up messes when needed
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.

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.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly!

“This being our first time with Rover - and Josh- and being somewhat late in the planning stage, I was of course a bit nervous, but Josh put us at ease right away. He first offered a Meet-n-Greet where we got to visit him at his home, get to know him a bit, and talk about expectations and our senior dog’s needs. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up scheduling and followed up during our trip with daily text updates and pictures to keep us “in the know”. We joked with our family that our pup wouldn’t want to come home with us because she was being loved on so well. 😊 Being a bit of a high anxiety dog, she often will shed a lot when nervous, but when she arrived home it was obvious to me that she had had a good experience. She was not only bright-eyed and tail wagging, but her coat was shiny and smooth – she was happy and feeling good. As any pet lover would agree, it does a momma’s heart good to know that there is someone out there who will care for your fur-baby with the same, if not better intent than your own. We believe Josh treated our dog with the utmost care, and would definitely reach out to him again if we need a safe place for our pet. ~Thanks Josh!!”
“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.”
“Tiffany was amazing with my dog! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
“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.”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Ali did a wonderful job watching my two dogs for a long weekend. She is competent, caring, a proactive communicator, and quick to reply to any questions. My dogs were so happy and content when I picked them up, they wanted to stay at Ali’s place longer. It is so comforting while traveling to know that my dogs are well cared for. I will definitely call on Ali again, I feel so lucky to have found her.”
“My shy dog was so happy at their house! They are caring, flexible and good communicators. I couldn’t be happier with the care and support they gave to my dog.”
“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!”
“Paul and his son did a 10 star job of watching my Rowdy, a Golden Retriever. Rowdy is over 10 years old in human years which makes him over 70 in dog years. In all that time, this is actually the first time I’ve ever boarded Rowdy. That alone tells you how protected he is-rarely is he out of my sight. I am so thankful that I chose Paul to watch over Rowdy. I hit a home run for sure! Paul was so thorough and heartfelt in his care of Rowdy, for he kept me in the loop, he touched base with me through the app consistently, and sent me pictures of Rowdy, at play and during movie time. I could not have been paired up with anybody more well equipped than Paul and his family. It touched my heart when Paul mentioned that he recently lost his pet companion of many years, and that this time with Rowdy helped fill the void and gave him that sense of companionship once again. Paul is the real deal and he went above and beyond in his caretaking of my best friend, and he did it with compassion and a whole lot of heart. One couldn’t ask for a more genuine caretaker for their pet! Thank you Paul for helping me in this situation, you are most appreciated!”
“Trish has been fantastic with my dogs! She sent me frequent updates and images/videos of my dogs throughout their stay with her. She checked with me on anything she's not sure about regarding my dogs' diet needs and habits. I honestly cannot imagine a better sitter than Trish! I have full trust in their family taking care of my dogs.”
