Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.

Kevin was absolutely wonderful with my sweet Terry. From the very first day, he kept in constant communication, sharing updates that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear that Terry was not just cared for, but genuinely loved and treated like family during the 9 days she stayed with him. I’m so grateful to have found Kevin through Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust him with Terry again. Highly, highly recommended!

Elizabeth did an amazing job with Raz! I received multiple updates every day with how she was doing. I got back from vacation a day later than I expected and Elizabeth was able to keep my dog an extra night with no problem. She even ran to the pet store and got some ear cleaner for Raz when she noticed her ears were bothering her! Overall an awesome experience and you can tell Elizabeth cares a lot about these dogs. Will definitely book again!

I had to find a cat sitter last minute for the weekend and came across Lisa’s rover listing and she took Eevee in without any hesitation! She made sure to keep me posted all weekend about how Eevees stay was going with daily messages and pictures. It was so comforting to know how safe, comfortable and happy my little girl. I will 100% be on the repeat client list. Could not have been a better experience for me or Eevee! 10 out of 5 stars!!

About: Hello, my name is Tara! I specialize in moderate to high intensity walks if your pet likes extra activity, but we can also kick our feet up & people watch out the window! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, where I developed a lifelong love and respect for them. Since I don’t have pets of my own right now, getting the opportunity to love and care for other people’s pets truly fills my cup. Feel free to message me or shoot me any questions! I work full time, so I can offer the following: Drop Ins 2x/day (over lunch or after 4pm) Walks 1x/day (after 4pm on weekdays & anytime on a weekend day) Whether your pet needs a long walk, medication, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I will treat them like they are my own while keeping their unique routine and comfort a priority. I have experience with pets who are anxious, shy, or need a little extra patience when meeting someone new.

I recently had the pleasure of having Tori as my cat sitter, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment I reached out, Tori demonstrated experience and professionalism. They took the time to discuss my cat's routine and preferences, ensuring that everything would go smoothly while I was away. Tori is incredibly reliable; I never had to worry about whether they would show up or take care of my cat Tina. Each day, Tori provided updates and photos, which not only reassured me but also showed how much they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I felt completely at ease knowing that my home and my cat were in capable hands. Communication was another strong point for Tori. They were always quick to respond to any questions I had, making the entire process seamless. Overall, Tori is a fantastic cat sitter who combines experience, reliability, and excellent communication skills. I will definitely be reaching out to Tori again for my future pet sitting needs!

Tanya went above and beyond, and was even able to do an extra drop-in on very short notice when I had to leave earlier than expected.

Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!

About: I've personally had many dogs of different sizes and energies, including a Border Collie, Boxer, American Bulldog. I have experience in training (reward training). I am capable of basic grooming, including nails. The Tibetan Spaniel listed on my profile is actually my daughter's dog and he is only at my home during college breaks, otherwise, they are in Ohio the rest of the year Think of your dog's stay at my house as a vacation at Grandma's. Your dog will be spoiled to the extent that YOU allow (and maybe a tennsy bit more). 😉 I mostly work from home with occasional short stints in a workplace and a very flexible schedule. I can be home at any time to ensure that dogs can potty, get playtime, etc. I never work on the weekends. I have a half acre of flat, safe, fenced in yard with grass and gardens. My schedule is very flexible and can adapt to your dog's feeding, sleeping and play schedule. I have no issues waking early, etc.

Melanie and family were so friendly that my dogs—a 4- and a 12- year-old Havanese—relaxed immediately. Melanie met us in the yard and the dogs trotted away with her without looking back. The dogs were with her for 6 hours and she sent multiple photos and status updates. We would definitely ask Melanie to watch our dogs again!

About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.

I'm currently living at home after high-school and am unemployed. I used to work at a dog and cat daycare and boarding facility, but decided I wanted to make my own schedule. I'm not very social besides with animals so my schedule is open and flexible. I own 2 cats and a dog so I'm unable to board or pet sit at my own house, but I can travel to your house and look after your furry friend in an environment I'm sure they're more comfortable in anyway.

About: I have walked dogs of all sizes with different health needs. I like to learn your dogs routine and make sure they are as comfortable as possible. I also like to send pictures of the walk if you like. I'm very safety conscious and attentive to surroundings when walking dogs. I really like to become friends with the dogs and get to know their unique personalities. I have an open schedule to work around your pets needs. I can help with last minute needs if you have schedule changes or emergencies. I keep a structure/routine so the dogs/cats know what to expect. I make sure my home is dog proofed and safe for animals. I only board one family's pets at a time so there is no issue with animals not getting along.

Bella is always happy to go to Traci and Ryan’s home and they always welcome her. They clearly have a love for animals and take good care of her.

Alexandra went above and beyond to give our beagle puppy a great stay from agreeing to a meet and greet beforehand, helping him settle in, and providing lots of snuggles and play time with her pup. She has a great set up at her home and is clearly skilled in caring for dogs. We look forward to booking with her again soon!

Mary was wonderful! She was very prompt with texting and send daily updates on my pets. She was also very transparent and provided ways to fix problems she saw.

Awesome experience! I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone outside of family for the first time, especially for an extended period. Mackenzie and Anthony did a fantastic job keeping us updated, sending lots of pictures and videos while we were away. They're genuine, dog-loving people who truly want your pup to have a great time in your absence. Highly recommend!

We appreciated Rebekah watching our dog. We appreciated the meet and greet she offered. I understand it wasn't the best fit due to overnight reasons and appreciate her honesty.

This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!
