“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We instantly felt comfortable leaving our pups (2 medium sized dogs) when we met them the first time. They updated us with lots of pics of them playing and hanging out with the pups. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Nathan was very good with my dogs. He responded quickly to all my messages and sent plenty of pics / updates about them during the stay. I would definitely recommend him to others.”
“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.”
“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!”
“She took amazing personal care of my dog, and highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet well taken care of while they're away. She also gave daily updates and pics of my dog while under her care which was greatly appreciated.”
“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.”
“Excellent care and attentive! Nicole very much loves pets and provided such good care for our cat in her lovely home while we were gone all week. We loved getting updates and photos! Stinger felt right at home there!”
“Obie was well taken care of and he seemed to have a good time, I say Aurora has a great understanding of animal handling. She took him on short notice, I would recommend her expertise to anyone who asks.”
“Chloe’s kennels were perfect for my pupper. Plenty of space to run around and the kennels were separated by a fence so he was able to smell and greet the other dogs. He slept the entire day after he got home! Will use again!”
“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!”
“Aryal is very knowledgeable and has a great setup for hosting kitties! She took excellent care of both cats and helped one get recover from an eye infection. I also appreciate the detailed updates and photos! Thank you so much for your help!”
“Emily did an awesome job of taling care of Lucy. She sent me daily photos and text updates on how everything was going. Tgis was a cery short notice request and Emily took it all in stride and made it happen. We will use her again”

“Erik did a great job doing drop-ins for our cat! He communicated regularly with us and was very easy to work with & there were zero issues. :) I'd recommend him!”
“Trisha was awesome, very thorough and made sure my boys had everything they needed. She was quick to respond to my messages, and checked to make sure there wasnt anything else around the house i needed done while I was gone. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Great to have a dependable and caring person watch our cats while we play in the sun on the beach. Appreciate the pictures and checking in with us. Thanks for taking great care of our fur babies, Shelley!”
“This was my first time using Rover after being recommended by a friend. Jena was absolutely amazing to my cats! She came and played with them everyday and brought them catnip which they LOVED! The pictures were absolutely perfect. I was scared to leave my fur-babies when I went on vacation, but she eased all of that stress the moment she came through the door. Easy to work with and talk to, Jena is exceptional!”
“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.”
“Avri was perfect for our little puppy!! She brought her 1 year old dog to socialize and even sent me pictures and video updates from their play time! We can’t wait to hire her in the future for our fur baby!”
“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Walter while we were away. Megan went above and beyond during every drop-in visit to make Walter and us feel comfortable. She made sure he was fed and cared for and also gave him genuine attention, playtime, and affection. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind on vacation. It was obvious how much she truly cares about animals, and Walter absolutely adored her. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“You went above and beyond. Very punctual too. My cats didn’t hide from you and that is HUGE. I know you have a love and a heart for animals. Thank you so much for caring for my babies . You were amazing ! 💕”
“I will definitely request Mira's help again - this was our first Rover experience, and she was a blessing. She went above and beyond by dropping by to meet Sam ahead of time so he wouldn't view her as an intruder. He's 90 pounds and we're still working on his puppy manners (like jumping and the occasional body slam), and she was competent and professional in taking him on. Mira dropped by twice as requested, took him for a walk, and sent plenty of photos so we could see he was having the best time with her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mira!”
“Ashleigh went above and beyond. We truly cannot say enough good words about our experience or her care. We needed help in the eleventh hour in order to go on our honeymoon. She was AMAZING and we could really enjoy our time away knowing she would take great care of our cat. He needs insulin every twelve hours and she never missed a single shot. She played with him, cuddled him and just overall did an excellent job. So flexible when certain needs changed and very understanding. We would 100000% book her again.”
“Ashleigh is an absolute delight! I Invited her into my home and put her in charge of Missy's care with all the confidence that Ashleigh will take great care of both. She is positive, delightful, caring, kind and considerate. I trust her with my most precious things! Thank you, Ashleigh.”
“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: 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!”
“My 9 year old, handicapped, German Shepard, little lady had an awesome time with Aryl, her pack and her family! We've already booked another stay. 🥰 This stay took place over overnight for 7 consecutive nights while I was at work. This was the first time not to allow her to stay at home alone. After a few rough nights alone, getting stuck a couple times, and then not able to make it through the night without apotty break, I knew I needed to find someone. Because Miss Black has lost use of her hind legs and is now in a wheelchair her care is a little more complex. Aryl administered her medication, assisted as needed going potty, and kept her cleaned up and smelling fresh every morning. This has been such a relief knowing she is in good hands. It gave me such peace of mind while I was working. Aryl didn't have any problems reading her communication signs. Even when she had other Rover dogs over, she was able to give Miss Black everything she needed. I believe Aryl's past experiences have given her the insight she needed to provide great care. Instead of wondering what I was going to walk into after a long shift, I was greeted by my smiling pup right inside the door.”
About: I’ve taken care of all ages of dogs. I have been around dogs my entire life from raising puppies to taking care of elderly dogs. I have given medication to dogs as well as help train them. I pride myself in my patience with animals as well as my love for them! I currently work from home so I am always available for your dog as well as my dog too! There will be little to no time that I will be away from the house while pet sitting for you! Your dog will be treated just like my own! I have a one year old golden retriever that is my world and that is how I treat my clients!
“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.
“This was our first experience with Rover and it exceeded our expectations. Ali did a great job caring for our 4 1/2 year old black lab, George. Ali was easy to get in touch with and attended to George’s medical issues requiring meds and exercise restrictions. George was clearly well cared for and loved.? Highly recommended!”

I now have a little Cairn Terrier mix who adores other dogs and is very gentle. I will make sure your pet is safe and well cared for in my home. He/she will be fed, walked, etc. according to your instructions. I never worry about accidents. We will walk outside weather permitting and/or just hang out with plenty of cuddles and fun.

I am a retired teacher and I’m home most days and evenings for drop in care or overnight care. I will follow all instructions you have and you may contact me any time of the day or night. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for with as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be fed & watered on the schedule you have at home. I have many toys available or you can bring your own. Treats provided at your instruction. Exercise and walks given once a day. I'm a retired teacher so I'm home day and night unless for errands. I watch Dog TV and other dog shows if your pet enjoys that. If I walk the pet I will need a good leash & collar. Also my home is pet proofed meaning nothing is on the floor or counter that they could get into.

“Trish is a dog whisperer! I am in IC from Colorado to help my mom with surgery and needed a place for my rowdy 8 month old Aussie/Great Pyrenees to play during the day. Trish loved her like her own pup and sent lots of updates. Hazel came home tired and smiling every day.”

“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!”
“Erik was so helpful, as I can walk some of my dogs but not all. He took the one that I couldn't & gave him a good workout. He communicated well, asking if could come early as his schedule opened up. I will use him again.”
About: Welcome to BarkBnB, where pups come to stay, play, and feel right at home. 🐾 I’m a work from home dog lover and proud pet parent to my two dogs, Onix and Eevee. Yes, there’s a little Pokémon energy in this house, playful, friendly, and always ready for the next adventure. When your dog stays with us, they won’t be stuck waiting around for attention. Since I work from home, they’ll have companionship throughout the day, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of love. I want every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and included like part of the family. We also have a large fenced-in yard that’s perfect for zoomies, fetch, sniffing, sunbathing, and getting out that extra energy. Whether your dog is an active adventurer or a professional couch cuddler, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they need. You’ll also never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I send daily pictures and videos so you can see the tail wags, playtime, nap spots, and happy moments for yourself. What your dog can expect: 🐾 A safe, welcoming home environment 🎾 Plenty of exercise and supervised outdoor play 🏡 A large fenced-in yard for fun and freedom 📸 Daily photo and video updates 💻 Constant attention from a work from home sitter 🐶 Friendly dog company with Onix and Eevee 💤 Cozy overnight care that feels like a staycation Think of it as a doggy vacation, with more belly rubs, better snacks, and a lot less stress for you. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine because I’m home, available, and already living a dog-friendly lifestyle. My schedule gives me the flexibility to build the day around the pets in my care — whether that means extra potty breaks, play sessions in the yard, walks, feeding schedules, cuddle time, or just being nearby so they feel settled and secure. I’m not someone who squeezes pet care in around a busy day away from home. It’s part of the rhythm here. Dogs get attention throughout the day, plenty of chances to burn off energy, and a calm home environment where they can relax between playtime. I also make updates part of the routine, so owners can expect daily pictures and videos that show how their pet is doing, not just a quick “everything is fine.” My goal is to make each stay feel easy, active, safe, and reassuring from drop-off to pick-up. treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, comfortable experience tailored to their personality and routine. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. Between supervised outdoor time in the large fenced yard, walks, play, enrichment activities, and downtime, I aim to make their stay feel safe, fun, and low-stress. I also know how important communication is while you’re away, so I send regular photo and video updates to keep owners connected and reassured.
About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.
About: My wife Hannah and I have had experience with reactive dogs, senior care, medications, daily walks, enrichment activities, and anything a pup could want or need for a happy and healthy life. Two person adult household, we both have full time jobs, afternoons, evenings and weekends can be dedicated to the needs of the dog or dogs. We have a fenced in large backyard and can provide whatever additional enrichment the animal might need from walks to mental stimulation or training activities.

I have a semi fenced yard and can take them out on leashes to be safe. I also have a fur baby to keep your dog company.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I regularly help care for a German Shepherd, including feeding, administering oral medications, and providing frequent potty breaks and attention. I’m also experienced with smaller, high-energy dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. In addition, I have my own cat, so I’m very familiar with feline care, including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and giving lots of attention to more vocal or affectionate cats. I also care for my own pet gecko, which has given me experience maintaining consistent routines and meeting specific care needs for animals. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and needs, including pets that require extra care or supervision. I’m available Thursdays through Sundays for full-time care, and can also care for pets on my workdays after shifts. I’m experienced with adult dogs, cats, and pets with special needs, and I always make sure they receive attention, feeding, and potty breaks according to their schedule I provide attentive and loving care for pets, whether in my home or theirs. At a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feeding, medications, and routines, give pets regular attention and potty breaks, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm and clean environment with plenty of love, attention, and safe spaces for pets to relax and play

Provide a safe environment for them to feel comfortable. I will abide to any and all rules the client has for their home and will keep my own footprint in their home small and clean up after myself.

“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We instantly felt comfortable leaving our pups (2 medium sized dogs) when we met them the first time. They updated us with lots of pics of them playing and hanging out with the pups. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”
“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.”
“Nathan was very good with my dogs. He responded quickly to all my messages and sent plenty of pics / updates about them during the stay. I would definitely recommend him to others.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Excellent care and attentive! Nicole very much loves pets and provided such good care for our cat in her lovely home while we were gone all week. We loved getting updates and photos! Stinger felt right at home there!”
“Obie was well taken care of and he seemed to have a good time, I say Aurora has a great understanding of animal handling. She took him on short notice, I would recommend her expertise to anyone who asks.”
“Chloe’s kennels were perfect for my pupper. Plenty of space to run around and the kennels were separated by a fence so he was able to smell and greet the other dogs. He slept the entire day after he got home! Will use again!”
“Aryal is very knowledgeable and has a great setup for hosting kitties! She took excellent care of both cats and helped one get recover from an eye infection. I also appreciate the detailed updates and photos! Thank you so much for your help!”
“Emily did an awesome job of taling care of Lucy. She sent me daily photos and text updates on how everything was going. Tgis was a cery short notice request and Emily took it all in stride and made it happen. We will use her again”
“Ali took care of our 1.5 year old weimaraner for an overnight. Provided multiple walks and photo updates. Took the dog with her on errands when our dog was exhibiting stress symptoms when left behind”
“Jason was wonderful, he sent Oscar home with baked homemade doggie cookie treats. He sent me many updates with pictures which made me feel so at ease while I was away from my fur baby. Oscar had a great time and came home happy and relaxed from his stay with Jason!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Our experience with Jamie was fantastic. This was our first time utilizing Rover services for our dog Ruby. Jamie sent pictures and updates each day. It was such a reassurance knowing Ruby was so well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Jamie!!”
