Holly and her family are awesome. Sally and Sam really didn’t want to leave to come home. Holly kept me very up to date on what was going on with them. She sent photos also. I believe they had a great time and I will use Holly anytime we go on vacations.

Deb took great care of Oscar while I was away. He was recovering from a knee surgery, on medication and I was very nervous using a new pet sitter. She put my mind at ease and was very inventive and found ways to let him quietly play and stay entertained.

Becky took care of Silky very well and took him for walks and updated regularly regarding how he was doing. She also picked him up and dropped him off which was very convenient especially with the bad weather with snow at the time.

We went to do a meet and greet with Shea a few weeks before Maisy stayed with Sheas family. The house was well kept and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We will be making arrangements with Shea in the future for additional stays with Shea and her family. I could tell that Maisy felt very comfortable with them by how well she ate her food while staying with them. I highly recommend giving Shea the opportunity to care for you pet.

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!

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!

As a lover of ALL animals, you can trust your furry family members to my care. I currently work in healthcare, and I am very blessed to work three days per week, leaving me with abundant free time to enjoy the outdoors.

Simply the best! Vanessa went above and beyond to make sure the first time I ever needed a sitter was stress free for both my cat and myself. She updated me with pics, videos, and information about him using the potty and their activity time together. I booked with quite a late notice and she came in to save the day regardless! Highly recommend for exceptional care when needing to leave your furry friends at home.

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician with 7 years of hands on experience providing compassionate, skilled care to animals of all ages and medical needs. I have a strong background in pediatric care, critical care nursing, and monitoring medically complex patients, so you can feel confident your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I’m experienced in medication administration (oral, injectable, topical), post surgical care, monitoring vitals, recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and providing supportive care for senior pets and those with chronic conditions. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, and pets that need extra patience, structure, or special routines. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well being are always my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to provide a calm, stress free environment while keeping you updated with regular photos and messages. Whether your pet is young, aging, or needs a little extra medical attention, I’m here to provide reliable, loving, and professional care while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally schedule my availability to ensure pets receive consistent attention, proper exercise, and timely meals and medications. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m very accustomed to structured care schedules, monitoring routines, and adapting to each pet’s specific needs. I prioritize regular check-ins, enrichment, and calm one on one time, and I plan my days so pets are never rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, or extra monitoring for puppies, seniors, or medical cases, pet care is a planned and reliable part of my routine, not an afterthought. For drop-ins and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medications. I also monitor their health and behavior during each visit and make sure their space stays clean and safe. I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: As someone who grew up with cats and has four of my own (a tuxedo, a tabby, and two gingers!), I know exactly what it takes to care for cats. I’m comfortable with all personalities, from chill couch potatoes to high-maintenance princesses and everything in between. I have practical experience administering pills and liquid medication, and I never shy away from the less-glamorous parts of the job—whether it's an unexpected hairball or routine litter box maintenance. I’m also more than happy to accommodate quirky routines. For example, one of my own cats insists on playing a round of fetch every single night before letting us go to bed. Whatever your cat's specific quirks are, I've got them covered!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I got my first cat when I was 16 and now have two beautiful cats. Taking care of my cats has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and genuine love. I have also learned a lot about animal behavior from observing my cats and spending the past six years with them. Even though I have cats at home, I’ve also always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel comfortable and loved.

About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 13 and 10 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.

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”.

Above and beyond, thats about how I describe Tanya and her family. We have a very shy rat terrier mix with high anxiety and in just a few minutes warmed up to this dog loving family and played like shes known them all her life. Spending the whole day (over 12 hours) we had absolutely no worries and nothing but pure confidence. The photos she took were fantastic! If you need someone to care for your fur baby for a while, look no further than Tanya!

About: I have cared for animals most of my life. I have cared for common house pets, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even live stock/ farm animals. My life goal is to become a vet and I have experience taking care of special needs animals. I currently work Monday - Friday 9 hours a day but will be home by 4. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 friendly cats that have both been raised around dogs most of their lives. There is also a park down the street that is just a few minutes walk. At the moment I do ask that if your furry family member will be a guest over night that a crate is provided for safety of your family and my own. I can care for your furry friends before I leave for work and after I return from work. I am also free most weekends and can watch them from Friday to sunday Your furry friends will not have access to anything harmful and will be allowed on my furniture. For their safety and mine at night I will have them sleep in a kennel.

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

Jen did a great job with Dove. We left Dove with her for a few days of walking, and she sent us updates and took care of her as if she were her own. Dove was sad to see her leave at her meet-and-greet and is wondering when she’ll get lovely, long walks with Jen again. She may be new to the Rover platform, but you can tell she’s been around dogs for years and knows how to take care of them. We’d recommend her.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and spent most of high school and college as the go-to pet sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets and animals so nothing phases me! Now that I have a bit more flexibility in my schedule, I’m excited to get back to it. As a dog and cat mom myself, I know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind. Whether it's a quick walk, popping in for a welfare check, or house-sitting while you're on vacation, I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m also more than happy to accommodate quirky routines. For example, one of my own cats insists on playing a round of fetch every single night before letting us go to bed. Whatever your pets specific quirks are, I've got them covered! I'm currently working part-time so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. I'm available most of the day and all week (including weekends) Even if your house has a fenced in yard I am always present and alert when if comes to letting pets out and playing with them.

About: Are you looking for a more personal dog sitting experience rather than kennel? I will keep to your dog's routine with feeding schedules and outside breaks. I have two of my own spoiled dogs and a well behaved 12 year old son. We live in a few acres with a large privacy fenced backyard with plenty of room to play! I can give your pet lots of love and attention, and outside play time! I work at a local vet clinic taking care of many different animals with a variety of needs (including medication). I am very easy to contact, if necessary. I have references available upon request! I can't wait to meet you and your fur family- always open to meet and greets but up to your comfort level :) I prefer a weeks notice to adjust scheduling. Your dog must be dog and cat friendly. Outside breaks are offered in the morning, afternoon, early evening and evening. Breaks are typically 15-20 minutes or more but also dependent on weather. Feeding schedule can be 1-3 times a day. I have a six foot privacy fence and latched gates. All doors are locked when I'm away from home and at night. We're in the country away from any busy roads.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I got my first cat when I was 16 and now have two beautiful cats. Taking care of my cats has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and genuine love. I have also learned a lot about animal behavior from observing my cats and spending the past six years with them. Even though I have cats at home, I’ve also always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel comfortable and loved. I am a nursing student at DMACC and have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday available to care for pets! I am available to work anytime between 10AM and 11PM. I make sure I always know where my pets are throughout the day. If they aren’t in their usual spots, I check on them to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Before leaving the house, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and that their scheduled meals are served. I also pay attention to their behavior because it tells me a lot about how they are doing.

I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did!!! I spend 90% of my time with dogs and we enjoy playing with other pups at the dog parks, we are traveling nomads and look forward to meeting you My dogs live in my van with me Both are crate trained. I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking

I have two dogs they will love to play with others. I would like to introduce them to your first before start let them play. I can always separate them if need to so they can take turns. I can give them bath, feed, take them out for walk, and even stay overnight if need. I would let you bring ur own dog foods for ur pets so that way it Is separate. I will always give them treats if being good. All you have to do is let me know what not to do or to do for them so I can be prepared.

About: Prices are negotiable. I understand when having multiple dogs it racks up to a lot. I am willing to work with you on prices. I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old. My love for dogs is never ending. I have been taking care of other peoples dogs since I was 19. I’m available to stay with your dog. I am not available to bring your dog to my house. I believe dogs do best in their own environment with all their toys and their own area. I’m currently work full time for a daycare in Polk City. I work 10hr days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On the weekends I like to take my sister’s dog for a walk unless I am watching someone else dog I will take that dog on a walk if able to. Majority of the dogs I watch stay at home because they know that area better. Anxiety is very common in dogs that get boarded or are away from home.

We will be making arrangements with Shea in the future for additional stays with Shea and her family.

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!

I am so glad we took our pup to Scott! He took great care of our Mila and gave constant updates. Mila even made new friends in the process. I will be reaching out to him next time we are in town, I definitely recommend him!

Our dog thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Craig! Our dog cannot wait for another play date and it was great for us knowing he was in such great hands. Would highly recommend!

Lucia was great! I was super nervous boarding our new rescue for the first time. I wasn’t sure how he would do, and it was the first time we’ve boarded a dog. Lucia took great care of Hank, and Hank seemed to do really well there too! She took him to the dog park and sent lots of photos and videos to help ease this nervous mama’s mind! Hank came back and seems worn out, which is a great thing! We’ll definitely be using Lucia again!

Nancy was fantastic and took great care of my baby boy! She was very attentive to his needs, especially giving him his medication multiple times a day. She understands dog behavior and has a pet friendly home. I appreciated the updates with pictures and would definitely recommend her!

Stefanie was awesome! She agreed to meet with me and my two dogs to see how they did with her and her dog. Everything was fine and she did a great job with them. She did a great job. She sent me a few pics of my dogs chillin and they looked great. I am sure they had a great time. I would recommend Stefanie and will definitely be using her again!

I think Bella settled in happily at Traci’s home which was a huge relief for me while away. Traci sent messages and photos while I was vacation which was so thoughtful. Thank you for caring for my little girl.

Heather was absolutely amazing! She sent me regular updates of all the fun activities she did with Loki. Be it splash pad, swimming in the lake, a visit to Paws and Pints , going for regular walks or fun drive with pup cups treats!! Loki had such a blast with her, Leo and Lucy. I’ll blindly recommend her to all fellow dog parents . Loki legit sulked and was sad for hours after coming home because he was missing all the fun lol. That speaks volume about the pleasant stay he had. Thanks Heather ❤️

Buster enjoyed another wonderful overnight at Meghan’s— or what we have started calling his “vacation home,” because he gets so much love and attention! Meghan is an excellent communicator, a wonderful dog-caretaker, and a top-notch photo-sender. She is our go-to, and we are incredibly grateful for her!
