“Our dog had a great time staying at Michelle and Robert’s place. They were reasonably priced, she was treated well and we had great communication with a pic daily. I can tell she was treated well because of Millie’s calm demeanor when we picked her up. She was happy there. Recommend!”
“My puppy had a wonderful time with Kerry. We got plenty of pictures of her stay and she was so happy. Kerry is very kind and so good with pets. Thanks so much Kerry!”
“Tasha and Matt were absolutely amazing! From the meet-and-greet to drop-off and pickup, they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel completely at ease. Tasha was prompt, communicative, and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay with lots of photos and messages. It was clear that our dog was getting plenty of love, attention, and excellent care, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We’ve used several Rover sitters in the past, and this was by far our best experience. Tasha and Matt truly went above and beyond, and we felt confident that our dog was in the best hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and are already looking forward to using them in the future. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time having Susan watch our two goldendoodles. It went very well, and we were very comfortable while we were away knowing our doggies were in good hands. Great communication prior to, during and after the dog sitting. This went so well, we have already booked our next dog sitting with Susan. THANK YOU”
“Very responsive to messages, answered all of our questions. Sent pictures and I brought happy tired pups home. Would definitely recommend and will be using them in the future. Thanks so much!”
“Ripley was safe and cared for by Nicole. He came home very tired from his week long stay, so I can tell her got a lot of play time. Nicole was very accommodating for us booking last minute over christmas, and she reimbursed us for a dog bed that got chewed up by another dog staying with them. Thanks Nicole!”
“Once again, another wonderful Rover week for Riley! We feel so confident that he's being well cared for when we go on vacation. Definite peace of mind. Thank you Aimee and Derek!”
“Haley is great! She was so easy to coordinate with and is super responsive. She kept me updated on how Tucker was doing throughout the stay and he had a great time! I look forward to having Haley watch Tucker for my future needs.”
“Paula has watched my dog, Maia, for me a few times. She is incredibly reliable, flexible, responsible, and helpful. I never have to worry about Maia when I’m gone because I know Paula is taking great care of her. Paula very clearly loves animals and knows what she’s doing. She is also great with communicating, easy to reach at all times and very responsive. If I could give Paula a six star review I would do it!”
“Jill is a awesome sitter, reliable , communicative with photos , prompt responses. My dog is well cared for and loved in jills care. I have used her services several times and couldn’t be more pleased”
“Pepper and Dolly were well care for and exhausted from all their dog play when I picked them up! Melissa communicated often and shared pictures about their activities and hijinks. She has a great enclosed front yard for play and exercise. I hope to book the dogs to stay with Melissa again soon.”
“I left my girl Lola with Bonnie and her family for the weekend, and I am so happy that I did! Bonnie made the whole experience wonderful. She sent updates and pictures throughout my time away. I really felt at ease knowing that my fur baby was so well taken care of. Lola had the best time, it was a vacation for her too. Thank you so much Bonnie! Lola can't wait to come back and spend time with you guys again :)”
“Amazing! My pup was well taken care of and folded into the family. Allison is so easy to coordinate with, communicative and put me at ease leaving my boy behind. ♥️”
“My puppy had the best time with Anakah! When we went to pick her up, she didn’t seem to want to leave. Anakah is friendly and welcoming, great with dogs, communicative and accommodating. We will definitely be back!”
About: We have loved and cared for dogs nearly all our lives. We don’t just see them as pets; they are family members who deserve all the comfort and attention we can give. We are currently the proud family of Pippie, and we both play an active role in her care. Since I work from home full-time, your dog will never be lonely. Pippie is the best of both worlds - she loves to play and hang out with other dogs, but she also loves to just relax and nap. We know how hard it is to leave your furry friend behind, which is why we’re committed to providing a trustworthy, safe, and loving environment. We’ll treat your dog exactly how we treat our own—with patience, care, and plenty of affection. Because I work from home full-time, I am here to provide constant supervision, mid-day potty breaks, and companionship. Our routine revolves around Pippie's needs—mornings start with playtime and breakfast, followed by several play sessions throughout the day to burn off energy, and she usually naps under my desk as I work. With my husband and daughter coming and going, there is a constant rotation of attention. Someone is always available to care for your pet. Your dog won't just be 'fitting in' to our schedule; they will be part of our family activities, from lounging in my office while I work to evening play in the yard. We treat our guests’ schedules—like specific feeding times or medication needs—with the same priority as our own. In our home, your dog is treated like a member of the family. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, which allows for safe, off-leash playtime. Our care routine is built on consistency and comfort: Feeding & Hydration: We stick to a twice-a-day feeding schedule (or whatever your specific routine requires), and fresh water is always available. Active Supervision: Since I work from home, I provide constant supervision. Your pet will never be left unattended in the yard. Affection: We are a 'cuddle-heavy' household! Whether it’s lounging nearby while I work or getting extra attention from my husband and daughter, your dog will be showered with love. Personalized Care: We understand every dog is different. Whether they need high-energy play in the yard or a quiet spot to nap, we adapt our day to meet their specific personality and needs.
“Nalleli was amazing! She took very good care of Zara while we were away on a trip to Paris. She had great communication and let us come meet her dog Jack the week prior to leaving, just to make sure Zara was comfortable. Nalleli also sent pictures and video of Zara to us while we were gone. I would highly recommend her and will be taking Zara back when we need someone to watch her.”

“Kimberly was super communicative and responsive, she was also friendly and her mom was willing to jump in and help out with my medically complex kitty when needed for the first couple of visits while my kitties got comfy and familiar which was a huge win for us all I think! I’m so grateful to them both for being willing to help me out and watch my boys, I’ll absolutely be asking to book again :) Thank you Kimberly!”

“Kety is wonderful! I would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pets. She handled my three dogs well. They were happy to see her each day and she took them on walks and played with them during her visits. She sent photos and assured me that the dogs were doing fine. I was very worried about leaving them for six nights. She was in contact with me each day to let me know what she was doing which really set my mind at ease. I am hopeful that she would be willing to do this again for me in the future!”
“I am so thankful to have found Cassandra through Rover. My dogs are my world and she takes excellent care of them. Professional, trustworthy and easy to communicate with. She’s done it all for us, from drop in visits while we’re out of the country to filling the gaps for daily walks. I rest easy when my dogs are in her hands!”

About: I've been around and taken care of animals my whole life. Being able to care for these animals is a big responsibility but also rewarding. No matter the size or breed of dogs, it will never be an issue. My husband and I both love taking care of animals and have years of experience. With our recent career change, he is able to be home when im not able to at times which makes availability for pet sitting super convenient. Our schedule never really changes and availability is open for the most part. We keep all doors and window shut, only give the food that is intended with plenty of water unless advised differently. There is a fully fenced back yard when they have to go out and is supervised no matter what. We always make sure to update the owners with cute pictures and messages to ensure their pet is doing well.

I want them to be comfortable with me. They’re so naturally caring and sweet; they deserve it back. I currently work every Thursday to dog sit. I am available Monday through Sunday, except for Thursday. I’m already use to caring for dogs so doing this would be great. It fits perfectly, it’s part of my everyday. I can easily crate dogs. I have trained mine to do so. I have a fenced yard and live in the countrysides. I feed my dogs every morning and night, varying on how much they ate that day. My dogs wear diapers, I change them multiple times a day. I care for my senior dog, two pups, and their mom.

About: I am truly an animal lover!! I enjoy being able to provide this service of helping out pet owners through Rover, and would be more than happy to show your pet some care while you are away. I am a college student home for a short summer (I'll be in Fruitland until about Sept 12th). I am just chilling at home & bored most of the time so my schedule is very flexible!! Just let me know specifics about the needs of your pet so that I can provide the best service. I know every pet is unique :)
About: I’ve been pet-sitting and dog walking for well over 9 years. I’ve helped my mom train our two family dogs and give them constant walks, playtime, and love when I’m home. I also have 3 cats back home that I love dearly, so I’m available for all of your pet needs. I love my dogs and cats and would be happy to entertain yours! I’m an online graduate student living in Pasco with plenty of time to dog walk or pet sit. I will make time for your needs! I’m well versed with handling my own dogs back home, so I am confident that I will be able to provide the necessary care for your pet. I will be able to feed them, walk them, play with them, and put them up.
About: I have cared for over 20 dogs and cats through Rover with excellent reviews. Our house is a fun and safe environment to board your pups. I’m always happy to check in on cats as well. I love all animals and will provide high quality and loving care for your pets. In our home now I have 2 cats. I love getting to know each pet individually and caring for them. I have three kids that are comfortable with both cats and dogs. I also can provide a quiet and safe space for dogs that do not wish to socialize. Our fenced backyard allows a safe environment for dogs to run and play without risk. I can also follow any dietary guidelines as needed. I stay home with my kids so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! We may leave the house for a few hours to run errands so I usually ask for owners to bring their dogs crate if they’re crate trained. Our house is fully fenced. We supervise dogs when they’re in the backyard. I also ensure safety away from strangers while out on walks. While doing check ins at a pet owners house I always double check the doors are locked and the animal is secure before leaving. I stay home with my kids so we are able to care for your pet around the clock. Frequent potty breaks and outside time are offered at your pets desire. I am very flexible with scheduling drops offs and pickups. You are always able to contact me during your pets stay and I will be in frequent contact with updates and photos. Our home is a safe and living environment. We will treat your pet as our own and give them lots of loves everyday. I love to create a fun environment where dogs can play together and socialize.
About: Besides being a pet owner in one capacity or another since I can remember, I currently am the mom of two cats and two dogs. I’m a nanny of two human kiddos too who also have a dog I regularly sit for. I much prefer the company of animals to humans but y’all two-legs are pretty cool too. I have stayed with many pets for extended amounts of time while their parents vacay without incident. My brother left his pregnant golden with me and I even did nightly temp checks (if the back door thermometer checks don’t prove my dedication I don’t know what does) to make sure she didn’t go into labor (until the morning he got back!) They ended up keeping 3 of the 9 in the litter so when I sit for them now, there are 8 dogs including my 2!! In my day job, I’m a Community Health Worker and love being able to help folks in need…even though they’re human 😉 I’ve pet sat for special needs animals including a diabetic dog who needed regular insulin shots so I’m comfortable with medical needs as well. Animals are always drawn to me. I’ve saved a family of baby quail, had lost pups jump in my car out of nowhere, helped countless pets who decided to go on walkabouts find their humans again, and sadly helped many people find pets who have passed on and get through that devastating time. I know as much as we love our pets, sometimes we can’t bear to be there for their last breath. So I also offer to take your place in that time of need if you choose and help the transition to the rainbow bridge be as loving and peaceful as possible. I believe you can find out all you need to know about a person from the way they treat and feel about animals which is why the company I keep is very much a very large pet to human ratio. I look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies (or babies with scales, feathers, or whatever else they have. I may have to charge a phobia fee for the 8-legged variety lol) I’m a photographer by trade and pet photography is a special hobby of mine. I always take photos of pets for their owners as a part of my services. I have a very flexible daytime job that allows me to work from home or anywhere with internet connection so I can spend a significant amount of time with your pets. I just need to make trips home to feed my cats and let the dogs out too. I have family who will be happy to babysit my pups when I housesit as well so everyone is loved and cared for equally. I’m flexible and ready to cater your pet care to your preferences. As long as there is clear communication, I want to keep your pet’s routine as stable and unchanged as possible. I know separation anxiety is real for pets so anything I can do to minimize that is important. I take take the time to get to know each pet and what they like and don’t like. I want to be someone they’re excited to see so they don’t get as lonely when you leave.
About: I’ve taken care of all dogs since I was little . They are my favorite domesticated animal and I love them . I am very active I love to get out and walk my own dog and play with him . I have a very flexible schedule because I go to school full time mostly online .so I am able to work with most schedules . There are certain times in the morning and afternoon that I am not available but online classes allow me the flexibility needed to assist dog owners who are working or going out of town . I make sure pets are fed and let out and walked according to their normal schedules as much as possible.I offer daily care,overnight care ect.
About: I've never lived in a home in which there have been no pets whatsoever. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, even chickens! I love dogs and cats of all kinds and I respect their owners' needs. I have a completely open schedule at the moment so I am mostly free to take clients on fairly short notice. However this won't always be the case and personal things may come up, so please respect that! I give full and undivided attention the the pets I'm caring for. Feeding on time by setting alarms, playing with them regularly throughout the day, and making sure their specific needs are met!

“Our dog had a great time staying at Michelle and Robert’s place. They were reasonably priced, she was treated well and we had great communication with a pic daily. I can tell she was treated well because of Millie’s calm demeanor when we picked her up. She was happy there. Recommend!”
“My puppy had a wonderful time with Kerry. We got plenty of pictures of her stay and she was so happy. Kerry is very kind and so good with pets. Thanks so much Kerry!”
“Tasha and Matt were absolutely amazing! From the meet-and-greet to drop-off and pickup, they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel completely at ease. Tasha was prompt, communicative, and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay with lots of photos and messages. It was clear that our dog was getting plenty of love, attention, and excellent care, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We’ve used several Rover sitters in the past, and this was by far our best experience. Tasha and Matt truly went above and beyond, and we felt confident that our dog was in the best hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and are already looking forward to using them in the future. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time having Susan watch our two goldendoodles. It went very well, and we were very comfortable while we were away knowing our doggies were in good hands. Great communication prior to, during and after the dog sitting. This went so well, we have already booked our next dog sitting with Susan. THANK YOU”

“Ripley was safe and cared for by Nicole. He came home very tired from his week long stay, so I can tell her got a lot of play time.

“Paula has watched my dog, Maia, for me a few times. She is incredibly reliable, flexible, responsible, and helpful. I never have to worry about Maia when I’m gone because I know Paula is taking great care of her. Paula very clearly loves animals and knows what she’s doing. She is also great with communicating, easy to reach at all times and very responsive. If I could give Paula a six star review I would do it!”
