Kayla is wonderful! Very patient with our girls. While watching them over the weekend, she took them for walks and gave them love and attention. I can tell she did well with the girls, as they were relaxed and not nerved up from Kayla being at our home for the weekend. Thank you Kayla for taking GREAT care of our girls!

Meagan and family were so kind and welcoming! Grateful for her flexibility to set up a meet and greet and for the attentive and loving care my dog received while with her! I’ll admit - I can be a helicopter dog mom and Meagan received all my info and requests with such kindness. Definitely look forward to booking again and HIGHLY recommend! 😃

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Amanda spoiled our dog all weekend! Played catch and cuddled and let him take a nap in her lap (he's almost 100 lbs so that was above and beyond the call of duty)! Another plus is there were 4-5 large dogs for Osborne to play with in Amanda's fenced in backyard so he came home happily exhausted. Amanda was extremely flexible in drop off/pick up times which was greatly appreciated as we were heading out of town for the weekend. She also carefully monitored his food so he only ate his food and didn't sneak other dog food and get an upset stomach. Highly recommend Amanda!

When you choose Rover, please book with Elizabeth! She was nothing but amazing with our dog. Our Corgi was in her care for 5 days and 4 nights. Not once did I feel anxious about being away from him because she made us feel like family since the very beginning. I’ve read the reviews and have experienced first hand how much love she has for her clients. Your dog can expect a wonderful fenced in backyard, clean kennels, scheduled meal times, and lots of loves and playtime. I couldn’t be happier! We will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again!

I think Missy has got to be the best sitter my dog Bella has ever had. Not only did Missy welcome the challenge of a spicy chihuahua but she mastered it. By the end she let her hold her! And if any of you are owners of little anxious dogs you know this is a big deal!! Missy also did a great job communicating with us and sending tons of photos which we appreciated. Having Bella stay with Missy made us feel at ease, allowing us to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing Bella was in good hands. Would highly recommend booking with Missy and I’m sure Bella looks forward to her next visit!

I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!

About: Reliable, Loving Pet Care You Can Count On 🐾 Hi! I provide dependable, stress-free pet sitting and dog walking for busy professionals who want peace of mind while they’re away. I’m a dog lover through and through and have two of my own—a 5-year-old Cockapoo and a 12-year-old Shih Tzu Bichon—so I understand firsthand the different needs, personalities, and energy levels pets can have at every stage of life. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I follow your routines closely and make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and affection—whether that’s a walk, drop-in visit, or extended care. What sets me apart is clear communication and reliability. You’ll always receive timely updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands without having to check in or worry. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. My goal is simple: make your life easier and your pet’s day better. If you’re looking for trustworthy, attentive care with a personal touch, I’d love to connect! Because I work from home and am my own boss, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable pet care throughout the day. This flexibility makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and companionship breaks without rushing or cutting corners. Being home most of the day also means your pet isn’t left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give consistent attention, monitor their comfort, and adjust care as needed based on their routine and personality. My schedule allows me to be responsive, dependable, and present—so your pet gets quality care and you get peace of mind knowing someone is truly available and engaged. I’m happy to care for your fur baby as long as they are comfortable around other dogs. While we don’t have a fenced yard, I enjoy taking regular walks with the dogs around the neighborhood paths to keep them active and happy. I’m also available for in-home stays, which can be a great option if your pet feels more comfortable in their own familiar surroundings.

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.

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.

I'm pretty sure my dog, Frank, is currently petitioning for a legal name change to "Frank of Ames" after his stay with Katrina yesterday. We were in town visiting our daughter at Iowa State and needed a safe, fun place for Frank to stay, and we hit the jackpot. From the moment we dropped him off, Frank was already sizing up his new crew—Katrina's two incredibly friendly dogs—and planning his fun. The photo and video updates she sent were amazing, showing Frank living his absolute best life, running around and making new friends. Seriously, if you ever need photographic evidence that your dog is having a better time than you are, book with Katrina. Frank came home happy, perfectly exhausted, and now gives us serious side-eye every time we suggest a plain old walk instead of a dog playdate at her place. Thank you, Katrina! You made our trip worry-free. Highly, highly recommend!

About: I absolutely love caring for animals. I have a cat who gets along with just about any animal, I also live in a one bedroom if he would need it be separated. :) I have cared for others pets since I was young and I love taking doggos for long walks and giving lots of pets! I enjoy keeping the owners updated with pictures and provide a safe environment for their pets. I’m currently free quite often during the day. I am a teacher so school doesn’t start until the end of the month. Once school starts I can still watch on weekends! I live in an apartment with a dog park and I love to take dogs for LONG walks. I love giving pets and will make sure your pet is happy and healthy.

Angela is great! We have had our puppy at her house for Daycare the past two days and he loves it! He was so excited to be dropped off this morning and was one tired puppy after a fun filled day playing with the other Puppies! Angela was very kind/welcoming and made sure to confirm our visit the day before which we really appreciated. She is great at keeping us posted during the day with texts and photos of our 2 month old puppy (we feel very at ease knowing he is in great care and getting to play with other dogs is a huge bonus!) We Definitely recommend Angela and we will definitely be booking with her again!

About: I've had dogs since the day I was born, and responsibly started taking care of them since I was around 10 years old. I've taken care of dogs from 8 weeks old to 16 years. As an adult, I've had 2 dogs and have cared for them in their crazy puppyhood to more gentle yet demanding senior care. As your dog sitter, I can provide enrichment via walks, playing, and basic tricks and skills you want me to work on with your dog. I can feed and refresh water bowls. I can help with medication if needed. I am happy to care for any of your pets' needs during a visit. I treat my all of my pets like my children and I am so excited to start caring for yours! I am a teacher currently on summer vacation. I am free to work during the week and some weekends from around 11-3 for drop in visits or walks. Once the school year starts back up, I may be available during holiday breaks and some weekends. Expect thorough reports and cute photos after a sitting or walk. As a regular user of Rover services myself, I know what I like and want from my sitters, so I will put that into my work. I will enter the home however is most comfortable with the client and lock the home back up when I leave. All walks will be leashed or contained in a stroller. I do not offer off-leash walks for the safety and liability of myself, your pet, and anyone we might encounter. If your pet is crated, I will crate them again when I leave. I will only enter spaces necessary for the care of the pet.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. I began playing a role in walking, and feeding/filling water for my dogs since I was 12. I have also watched my friend’s dogs before by stopping in a few times a day to feed them and give them love! I’m currently working a part-time job, most of the time I work day or night shifts so I do a lot of pet care in between my shifts or on the weekends. At home we use an electric fence for our animals but for others I accompany them outside on leashes. My cat does not do well with other cats without meeting/getting used to them over a period of time.

About: Reliable, Loving Pet Care You Can Count On 🐾 Hi! I provide dependable, stress-free pet sitting and dog walking for busy professionals who want peace of mind while they’re away. I’m a dog lover through and through and have two of my own—a 5-year-old Cockapoo and a 12-year-old Shih Tzu Bichon—so I understand firsthand the different needs, personalities, and energy levels pets can have at every stage of life. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I follow your routines closely and make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and affection—whether that’s a walk, drop-in visit, or extended care. What sets me apart is clear communication and reliability. You’ll always receive timely updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands without having to check in or worry. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. My goal is simple: make your life easier and your pet’s day better. If you’re looking for trustworthy, attentive care with a personal touch, I’d love to connect! Because I work from home and am my own boss, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable pet care throughout the day. This flexibility makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and companionship breaks without rushing or cutting corners. Being home most of the day also means your pet isn’t left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give consistent attention, monitor their comfort, and adjust care as needed based on their routine and personality. My schedule allows me to be responsive, dependable, and present—so your pet gets quality care and you get peace of mind knowing someone is truly available and engaged. I’m happy to care for your fur baby as long as they are comfortable around other dogs. While we don’t have a fenced yard, I enjoy taking regular walks with the dogs around the neighborhood paths to keep them active and happy. I’m also available for in-home stays, which can be a great option if your pet feels more comfortable in their own familiar surroundings.

About: I have been the main caretaker of any animal I’ve ever had, some because I was the one who begged for it. And others because I just love animals so much that their care is only half the fun. I have experience with animals in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. My puppy experience ranges from being the one who nursing a parvo puppy back to excellent health, she is now 3 years old and thriving. I also have a senior dog, who is such a joy but I think he forgets he has arthritis with all of his puppy antics. I also have a lot experience with teaching many tricks so don’t be surprised if your animal learns something new every time they see me! I work from home and have only two courses a day, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do a good pet care routine. My babies (my cats and hermit crabs) are on a routine or rather I am. We do feedings in the morning and have an hour of down time for everyone to “stretch” their legs before I go to class. I’m away for 3 hours before I’m back and during that time I can walk a dog if one is staying. And then I work from home so pretty much I’m at the animals beck and call whenever they need anything. I am in an apartment which lessens the risk of anything happening to your pet on my watch! Also with living in an apartment by campus we can always go for walks and meet some college students wanting some animal love!

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Amanda spoiled our dog all weekend! Played catch and cuddled and let him take a nap in her lap (he's almost 100 lbs so that was above and beyond the call of duty)! Another plus is there were 4-5 large dogs for Osborne to play with in Amanda's fenced in backyard so he came home happily exhausted. Amanda was extremely flexible in drop off/pick up times which was greatly appreciated as we were heading out of town for the weekend. She also carefully monitored his food so he only ate his food and didn't sneak other dog food and get an upset stomach. Highly recommend Amanda!

We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.

When you choose Rover, please book with Elizabeth! She was nothing but amazing with our dog. Our Corgi was in her care for 5 days and 4 nights. Not once did I feel anxious about being away from him because she made us feel like family since the very beginning. I’ve read the reviews and have experienced first hand how much love she has for her clients. Your dog can expect a wonderful fenced in backyard, clean kennels, scheduled meal times, and lots of loves and playtime. I couldn’t be happier! We will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again!

Cary & Lara seemed to welcome Milli into their home with ease! Milli was completely relaxed after her stay which tells me she had a very comfortable visit! I appreciated Lara walking Milli the morning I picked up! Milli loves to walk! Thank you so much!

I think Missy has got to be the best sitter my dog Bella has ever had. Not only did Missy welcome the challenge of a spicy chihuahua but she mastered it. By the end she let her hold her! And if any of you are owners of little anxious dogs you know this is a big deal!! Missy also did a great job communicating with us and sending tons of photos which we appreciated. Having Bella stay with Missy made us feel at ease, allowing us to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing Bella was in good hands. Would highly recommend booking with Missy and I’m sure Bella looks forward to her next visit!

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!

Our Leo stayed with Tiffany for a second time and this time was for a little over a week. Tiffany and her family welcomed him as their own and he had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Tiffany for any boarding services as she once again, has went above and beyond. She communicates well and quickly and is always so so kind and generous. Really can't recommend her enough!!

Ashly once again took care of our baby and did a great job! She was flexible with drop off/pick up and communication options with my husband since I was going to be out of town when he dropped Hank off and picked him up! Grateful that she cares for our fur baby as her own!

Emmy took wonderful care of our dog! She was attentive and made sure our energetic girl got plenty of exercise and stimulation. We received regular updates and photos, and it was apparent in the pictures that our dog felt right at home. We definitely recommend Emmy!

Brooke and Brent were a delight to work with. I admittedly had a last minute booking and they were very gracious. Their family was very welcoing to my dog and they were a delight to with. Very grateful to them and happy to enthusiastically recommend!

Roxxie had a great time! Lynsey is communicative, flexible, and reliable. She has the cutest little girl who knows how to interact with dogs as well. I recommend booking with her for anyone who is considering!
