“Melanie was amazing with our dog Jack. She was available in a short period of time and so communicative. Her daughters were also great with him. He seemed so happy and loved his stay! Would stay again!”
“Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Kimberlee kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”
“Meagan is an excellent dog sitter! Fantastic communication, frequent photo updates, and truly attentive care. We felt totally confident our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!!”

“Our dogs were so happy with Cary and Lara. They seemed sad to leave their new friends when we got home. We got fun pictures to show us their adventures while we were away, and I could tell they just settled right in. It was a fantastic experience!”
“So nice to know Copper had the comfort of a home and people to love on him while we were away! He has anxiety so having Chris & Erin around almost all the time was so wonderful for him.”
“Samantha was a wonderful dog sitter. She provided pictures daily and always kept me updated. I would certainly use her again and highly recommend her services. Thanks again Samantha for spoiling a Fitz!”
“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!”
“Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Katrina and her family were great! They watched our dog Lucy for about 4 days, and during our time was extremely communicative and accessible for photos or updates. She was also extremely flexible when our travel plans had to change due to flight problems during our trip. Felt like our dog was well cared for, and had a great time with her pups and family as well! We will be back for sure!”
“Ivana treated Max like he was her family. He was happy feeling part of the team with her dogs. He was pampered and loved. I will definitely use Ivana again.. so satisfied with her care for Max.🥰”
“jessica was the sweetest with my odie. she took him on long walks and kept me updated the whole time i was away! she sent tons of photos and odie warmed up to her so quick. i would absolutely reccomend her to anyone!”
“Jessica is a terrific dog sitter. We rarely leave our dog, so when we do it is nice to feel comfortable leaving her with a trusted sitter. Our dog spent her weekend away from us playing with Jessica's dog and being treated like family. She is worn out from all of the fun she had. We will be using Jessica again!”
“Great experience with Spencer and Candace taking care of my dog. They were very nice, helpful, and always responded quickly. I also really appreciated how flexible they were when I had to change the time last minute. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Tam and her partner were exactly who you'd want to leave your fur baby with, and in my case, totally saved the day with a last minute booking. They were friendly, extremely responsive and from the pictures, my picky chihuahua had a great time. Would def book again!”
“Our dog sitter canceled on us last minute before we left the country. Amy and Casey were very accommodating, took our dog in the next day and sent us many pictures, updates and even bathed our dog when he got into the mud. Would definitely use them again.”
“Cliff did absolutely amazing with my dog while my husband and I were on a long vacation. I haven't boarded her anywhere in the past, she has always stayed at home and we had a dog sitter come in. Cliff was so attentive to our dog, gave her lots of attention and sent us pictures and videos. I would highly recommend him to look after your dog. He is always very responsive and my dog absolutely loved hanging out with Cliff and his dog and any other clients he had while we traveled. Excellent dog sitter!!”
“Amanda was so great with our pups! She was always keeping us in the loop with our pups and gave us such a peaceful trip knowing our pups were having such a great time with her and her family! Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone!”

“Alisa wa able to get my shy kitty to come out and play. I had a friend come in the mornings and she said Rosie would come sniff her food the retreat to the bedroom. Next time I will use Alisa for all visits, she is wonderful.”
“Nejra was great at communicating with us and very patient with our cat with social anxiety, and even spent 45 minutes with her the Saturday before our trip and was also patient with my 4-year-old human child who chose that time to be a chaotic preschooler. She took lots of photos during our trip and provided a detailed Rover card after each drop-in. Our extroverted kitty absolutely adored her.”
“Alishea is so good with my pup! He is young and still a bit skiddish with new people. She is kind and patient with him and is so consistent - which he needs. Thank you for everything, Alishea!”
About: I've always had pets be apart of my life ever since I can remember. I love all animals! I've had experience with both cats and dogs. I'm familiar with senior pets as well, my furry friend is living his best senior life right now. I'm able to give oral medications as well if need be! I can't wait to have you trust me into taking care of your fur babies! Thank you for considering me to love on your animals! I'm currently a stay at home mom taking care of my two boys and our one dog. I have pretty open availability for whenever you need! Your pets will get plenty of play time and love while they're with me, they'll be treated just as if they were my own. I love to take them outside to get some energy out and enjoy the nice weather. Inside we will have lots of toys and snuggles dont you worry!
“Jessica was great with our two kitties. She dropped in every day last week to administer medication and playtime. She went above and beyond cleaning up some hairball accidents and scooping the litter as well. We’ll be calling her again - highly recommended!”
“Karly is always amazing with our fur babies. She was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate a later shift for my husband and she stopped back to check on them so we didn’t have to worry. Love that she is so reliable and loves them like we do.”
“Thank you so much for looking after my cats this weekend! I’m traveling and Jen went to my RV to make sure my cats were safe and got some attention while I was working crazy longs days, during a hot weekend! She was a joy to communicate with, and took great care of my babies! I would definitely book Jen again, if I were local!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Heather is FANTASTIC!!! Very easy to communicate with, timely, kind, and really cares for our pet. She asked great questions for things I didn’t even think of and she made sure our dog was well taken care of while we were unavailable.”
About: I have spent much of my life taking care of different animals. I grew up on a farm handling chores for animals of all kinds from horses to dogs and cats. I currently have a 3 year old Maine Coon cat named Boston! I currently work mornings, typically 7-3 M-F. My hours vary depending on the week and what I am busy with at work. I work shifts on weekends and nights when needed I have a yard for your pet to run around in and play. I do have 3 other pets in my home that are properly vaccinated and friendly!
“Emily is so awesome! She checked in every visit and took excellent photos. I didn’t have to worry about my cat at all because I knew she was in good hands. We will definitely re-book with Emily in the future! :)”
“Jaron was excellent with our cat. He paid her a lot of attention and was able to accommodate her medication schedule, as well as adapt to some of her behavior changes. We felt very comfortable leaving her in his care, and will gladly request his help in the future.”
“Morgan was absolutely phenomenal! We have some older cats who require medication and she was a pro! Will definitely be reaching out again the next time we leave town.”
“Jessica was a lifesaver on short notice. She took great care of our babies and sent photos. We got a super cute letter from the kitties :) It was nice to know they were loved on in our absence!”
About: Hi! I’m Geni, and cats are basically my whole thing. A lot of sitters here are more dog-focused, but I’ve loved cats my whole life and that’s where my real experience is. Whether it’s a hyper kitten or a grumpy old senior, I get that cats do best with their normal routine, some patience, and not being pushed into attention they don’t want. I grew up with cats and volunteered at a shelter for a while, so I’ve gotten pretty good at reading their body language. Like knowing when a shy cat just wants me nearby (not bothering them), vs. when a more outgoing one is dying for playtime. For drop-ins I cover the basics: fresh food and water, a properly cleaned litter box, and some real one-on-one time, whether that’s play or just chin scratches. I’m also careful about home security (doors locked, nothing left open), and I’ll send you plenty of photo updates so you know everything’s good while you’re away (plus you get some cute cat pics out of it, bonus for you). I have a ton of flexibility this summer before my full-time corporate job starts up in the fall. Since I'm new to the area and don't have a rigid daily schedule yet, I'm pretty much wide open for morning, afternoon, or evening drop-ins. This makes it super easy for me to stick to your cat's exact feeding or routine times without having to rush through the visit. When I’m doing drop-ins, keeping your cat safe and your home secure is a big deal to me. I’m careful about locking up, setting alarms if you have them, and watching out for sneaky door-darters when I’m coming and going (cats have a sixth sense for open doors, I swear). I’ll stick to whatever instructions you give me, exact food measurements, favorite hiding spots to check on, all of it. And before I head out I always do one more walkthrough, just to double check everything’s locked up and your kitty’s safe and accounted for.
“Reliable communication and pet care. Our first time using Rover and it was nice to be able to leave and not be worried about the cats while we were gone. Check-ins with pictures were great :)”

“Kimberlee is AWESOME!! Her and her son gave my pup all the lovins all day and she gave me updates throughout the day! She is very attentive and has a huge passion/love for dogs. I highly recommend her!!!”
“This was the first time my dogs have gone over to her house and they loved it!! They loved hanging out with her dog and just being able to be around someone all day! She was very sweet and attentive to their needs!”
“This was an amazing experience! I needed to make a trip to Ankeny and couldn’t leave my dog home for that long of a time so I hopped on this app and found her, so glad I did! He was a little scared at first but shortly made himself at home. Good communication and she sent photos! Made me feel good 💕I will be contacting Meagan again!”
“Jen and her family are amazing and I think our pup Nila would go to their house to visit every day if she could. Nila initially had some anxiety from some bad past experiences when Jen first started watching her, and Jen was incredible at helping her feel safe and gain confidence back. And her own dog Mia does such a good job of respecting Nila’s boundaries but also encouraging her to play and get out of her comfort zone. Jen treats every dog with so much love and care as if it was her own, and goes above and beyond any expectations we had.”
“Ivana did an amazing job! She treated our puppies like they were family, and they looked forward to going to her place every day. We will definitely have our pups stay with Ivana again.”
“It has been a privilege to have met Ali. Her joy over these silly, unique, fun, and personable dogs is infectious. Ali helped to train my dog! Ali helped me to better train my dog! Ali excellent communication skills, easy laughter and a person I could count on. Both Gracie and I will miss her greatly as we have to move out of town. But between Gracie's nose and my memory, we will hope to get near her again.”
About: I love animals and have been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was young. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have experience taking care of dogs of all size and ages! We have an active 6 year old golden retriever, and a 9 year old cat who we love very much! I am a 1st grade teacher, and love to spend my summers taking care of pets. I am home all day in the summer, and can make sure dogs get plenty of attention and outdoors time! We have a fenced in yard and a friendly golden retriever who loves to meet other dogs. We like to take walks on the trails around our neighborhood, and play in the backyard.
About: My experience in the dog industry goes beyond just boarding or sitting. I have the knowledge, skills, and experience training dogs of all ages and breeds, including service dogs. I currently work part time teaching group classes, leaving quite a bit of my time available to do other things involving dogs. In addition to a safe and friendly place to stay, your dog will get daily enrichment activities and, if needed, house manners training (go to place, leave it, keeping all 4 paws on the floor, going in/out of doorways). I work part-time training group classes, which allows me to have the time needed to care for the dogs staying with me. I'm available for boarding during the week, weekends, most holidays, single overnights and extended stays. My availability for day time sitting can vary but my calendar will always be updated with those times. All interactions between dogs are supervised to ensure those interactions are a positive experience and a safe experience. I don't have a fenced in yard so each time going outside is on leash, so leash manners will be worked on. I have crates and exercise pens for dogs who get crated at night. During meal times dogs are separated from each other as a precaution to prevent resource guarding. I do have a "gated community" inside my house to prevent mischief in the kitchen or going upstairs to bedrooms.
About: I will care for your pet by meeting their physical and emotional needs. We will play, exercise, relax and have an all around great time. I will follow all of your directions as well as send pictures and videos. I will always be available by text. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend time having fun with other's pet(s). I can tend to pets any time of the day. Safety is my number one priority. I respect moms/dads needs and wants for their pet(s). I love to play and have fun. I will send pictures and videos. I will always be available for calls.
“Corkie loved her doggy day care time playing with Bailey and Iggy in their big backyard! This was her first time away from home and it went so well! Will definitely have Sherilynn watch her again!”

I’m always happy to help keep them safe, loved, and well cared for As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is naturally flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins.

“Our corgi spent the day for daycare and had a great time. Loved the picture updates throughout the day. Would definitely have her back for daycare again with Scott.”
About: I have personally had a pet or 3 since I was 13 years old. I begged for a cat for years and once I got one, I never have been without at least one pet. I have been volunteering with the ARL since 2005. I have had 30+ foster dogs through them as well. I just love animals. I do have weekends blocked but just ask about availability! I am retired. I enjoy going for walks with dogs and depending on the dog spending time outside in my fenced in backyard. I have a 6 foot fence. Your dog will have the ability to be part of our family and our family pets are on our furniture. We do separate our home animals, fosters and house guests at night. The "regulars" get to sleep in our beds while our guests get other accommodations. It makes for better harmony for us. Because we foster on a regular basis our animals are very used to different dogs coming into our home. Our home is pretty quiet and relaxing.
“Tanya is outstanding! Our meet and greet was thorough and she asked me questions that I wouldn’t have thought of that helped her care for my dog just as we do. She took lots of photos and videos through the day and went above and beyond with Zoey - they played inside with toys, outside in the pool and ran around and she even took Zo on errands! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I currently don't have any pets of my own. In February 2025, my family and I sadly said goodbye to our beloved dog, Buddy, after 17 wonderful years together. I miss him deeply-our walks, cuddles, and the unconditional companionship he brought to my life every day. While Buddy will always hold a special place in my heart, Rover provides a meaningful opportunity for both pet owners and me. I can help families by providing dependable, loving care for their dogs, while also continuing to spend time with the animals I've loved my entire life. Caring for dogs fills a void left by losing Buddy and allows me to do something that brings me genuine joy. I've been caring for dogs since I was six years old. Having had dogs throughout my life and now into my mid-fifties, I understand how important it is to find someone who provides compassionate, loving, and trustworthy care. I know the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for when you're away. I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life, including dachshunds, beagles, german shepards and mixed breeds like Buddy - who was a basset / black lab. Every dog I've had has been treated as a cherished member of the family, receiving endless love, patience, and care - and I would treat your dog the very same way. You'll notice there aren't many photos of me with Buddy - I was usually the one behind the camera capturing all of his adventures and favorite moments. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while in my care, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby. Thanks for your consideration and the opportunity. Have a wonderful day. Because I work from home full-time, I can fit pet care into my daily schedule. I enjoy taking breaks for walks, outdoor time, playtime, and cuddles, which allows me to give dogs attention throughout the day. My flexible weekday and weekend availability means your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will receive compassionate, attentive care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with easy access to sidewalks in quiet neighborhoods and nearby trails, providing plenty of opportunities for dogs to get exercise, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. Because I work from home full-time, I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Dogs in my care will always be supervised, walked on a leash, and given a calm, loving environment where they can feel secure and at home. Having cared for dogs my entire life, I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet with someone else, and I am committed to treating every dog as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and attentive care.

“Kent is amazing! He goes above and beyond for my dog. He is an excellent communicator and keeps me informed with anything I may need to know about my dog. He cares deeply for animals and is so trustworthy and genuine. I highly recommend Kent and we are so lucky we found him!”
“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”

About: I've had animals almost my entire life. Right now, we have a 15 year old red tabby cat and a 5 1/2 year old American Bulldog. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and am comfortable around other animals. We moved to an acreage in rural Dallas County in 2017. If interested in boarding or daycare, please message me. We have an UNFENCED yard (1.7 acres) and we are next door to a cattle ranch operation, so please take those factors into consideration. I have had a pet sitter watch our animals in the past (and I can be picky). I would love to provide your pet with the utmost care, just as I would expect to receive from anyone watching my animals. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

“Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Kimberlee kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”
“Meagan is an excellent dog sitter! Fantastic communication, frequent photo updates, and truly attentive care. We felt totally confident our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Cynthia was so easy to work with and was flexible to do a last minute booking. They were so sweet and have a great environment for out. My pup left happy, we will definitely be back!”
“Our dogs were so happy with Cary and Lara. They seemed sad to leave their new friends when we got home. We got fun pictures to show us their adventures while we were away, and I could tell they just settled right in. It was a fantastic experience!”
“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!”
“Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Katrina and her family were great! They watched our dog Lucy for about 4 days, and during our time was extremely communicative and accessible for photos or updates. She was also extremely flexible when our travel plans had to change due to flight problems during our trip. Felt like our dog was well cared for, and had a great time with her pups and family as well! We will be back for sure!”
“jessica was the sweetest with my odie. she took him on long walks and kept me updated the whole time i was away! she sent tons of photos and odie warmed up to her so quick. i would absolutely reccomend her to anyone!”
“Jessica is a terrific dog sitter. We rarely leave our dog, so when we do it is nice to feel comfortable leaving her with a trusted sitter. Our dog spent her weekend away from us playing with Jessica's dog and being treated like family. She is worn out from all of the fun she had. We will be using Jessica again!”
“Our dog sitter canceled on us last minute before we left the country. Amy and Casey were very accommodating, took our dog in the next day and sent us many pictures, updates and even bathed our dog when he got into the mud. Would definitely use them again.”
“Amanda was so great with our pups! She was always keeping us in the loop with our pups and gave us such a peaceful trip knowing our pups were having such a great time with her and her family! Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Alok did a great job! He sent pictures and videos during the stay. He also made it very easy to drop off and pick up. I was happy Alok had a backyard, because my dog came home tired from all the play. I recommend using Alok.”
“This was our 2nd time using Sherilynn and everything was great! She was easy to schedule drop off and pick up and even sent pictures and updates while Nox was with her. Thanks again!”
“Angus received All-Star treatment from the whole family! I appreciated the pictures, up-dates, and the meet-and-greet we scheduled a few days before we left. I look forward to returning when we go on vacation this summer!”
“Absolutely amazing! Our favorite Rover Sitter yet! My husband and I had conflicting work schedules and Tanya was available to accommodate and watch out dog for us. Some days she had other dogs which out dog loved and other days where she didn't have other dogs she still made sure our high energy dog was able to go on walks and had a way to take out the energy. Her children took amazing care of our pup as well! Loved the family effort that came from the household!”
“As a return customer I can’t tell you enough how amazing these folks are at taking care of our baby! They send pictures, videos and make sure to keep us updated all the time! I appreciate all they do and for loving our River!”
“Nicole was a great sitter. Rowen was happy and well taken care of. This is the first time she had been left for this long with a sitter who wasn’t a close friend and we were anxious. Nicole put our minds at ease, sent pictures and updates. She answered all of my nervous Nelly questions. We will definitely be calling on her again.”
