Tanya was the best scenario we could have hoped for. We had a last minute booking that she was available for for our three month old puppy and as this was our very first booking on Rover, I was immediately put at ease at our first meet and greet. She was professional and personable, answered all of our questions, and of course loved on our dog! We got pictures and videos every day we were gone and to top it off, the sweetest thank you gift in her dog bag when we picked her up ❤️ Tanya is a masterclass in dog sitting!

Jennifer was great! It helped us relax on our trip knowing our dog was with someone who was treating her like their own dog. Our dog was able to play outside in the fenced yard, snuggle a bunch and treated like a part of their family. We will definitely use Jennifer for another future trip! Thanks so much!

Dunkin's first time with an over night boarding while his humans went away could not of been any better. After two introduction daycare visits to Jackie the day of his stay he could of not been any more comfortable. He actually ran into her house! Jackie's updates with me and pictures while I was gone put me at ease right away. Dunkin received the best of care while staying in a loving home environment. Dunkin for sure will be staying again. Thank you!

Shauna and Peter were amazing! The reviews are all accurate and I'm so glad we found them. They took such good care of our puppy and sent us daily updates (photos and videos). The whole process was super easy and we were worried since this was our first time using Rover. When we picked up our puppy all his stuff was packed nicely and he was waiting for us at the front, ready and fed. We couldn't believe how great this app is and the loving families who opened up their home to our fur baby. Thank you Shauna and Peter for taking such good care of Leo.

There are no words to express how thankful we are. Traci and her family made our family feel completely at ease while we were away for the very first time. This was our first experience leaving our baby with someone else, and trusting another family to care for him was a big step for us. Traci and her family treated our boy as if he were their own. She kept us updated, which we deeply appreciated, and you can see in the photos just how comfortable and safe he felt. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. For anyone considering care, we highly recommend Traci and her family. They are truly the best. And their dog, Wilfred — the cutest, kindest boy ever — made the experience even sweeter.

When you have a Senior dog with medical issues, you just can't take them anywhere. Luckily we found a new local sitter on Rover.com. Jeannie was very welcoming during our meet and greet. I was nervous, because we had a negative experience with our previous sitter. She accepted Lucy Mae and took great care of her. Jeannie was flexible when we extended her stay by one day. We received a daily picture showing a happy pup. Grateful our Beagle did so well❤️ She did so well, she was even asked back!

I was thinking Casper may not want to come home, as it looked like he was having a good time and being spoiled. He was allowed on their sofa and on the bed (things he doesn't get to do at home, at least not while I'm in the room). Great experience and Emily has 2 boys that also gave Casper a lot of attention. I will definitely rebook again as needed.

About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.

Lauren was so good to our dog who is shy but super friendly. She made him feel at home and played his favorite game of fetch. He was tired when he came home and he slept the entire night. We will definitely use Lauren again. She even sent a little video of him to us.

Let me start off by saying that Ella was absolutely amazing!!! I mean from start to finish she is phenomenal, her energy is amazing and she took care of my dog so so well!! She communicated the entire time and sent pictures and my dog looked replaced and happy! My dog is usually anxious in the car but for some reason when I picked her up she was relaxed and calmed which ensured she was comfortable and is beginning to recognize that I will always come back got her. Ella you are truly an angel and I look forward to future visits

About: Hi there! My name is Angelina, and I am a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a passion for caring for cats and dogs of all ages. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs and behaviors of our furry friends. I have worked with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. From energetic puppies to seniors, I have experience providing the love, attention, and care that each pet deserves. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the animals under my care. I am committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for them and I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and providing them with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I believe in building trust and forming a bond with each pet, ensuring that they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of clear communication with pet owners and am always available to provide updates and answer any questions or concerns. If you are looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter who will treat your furry friends as if they were my own, I would be honored to be considered. I am confident that my experience, dedication, and love for animals make me the perfect choice to care for your beloved pets. I work from home so I will always be home and able to provide potty breaks as often as needed. Just let me know if your fur baby has any specific needs and I’ll work to accommodate them. I have a large fenced yard and my own dogs to keep your dog company. I have a large doggie playpen and crates if you prefer your fur baby to be crated or separated from my fur babies. I have baby gates to keep dogs in or out of specific areas of the house while I am working (from home) and I use pet cameras to keep an eye on them while working in my home office. I’m happy to send pictures or video updates of your fur babies while you are away so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your vacation or time away while knowing your babies are in a safe environment. My dogs are small/medium, friendly, and not aggressive.

While I don’t consider myself a professional dog trainer, I have a lot of hands-on experience training my own dogs and enjoy doing fun, light basic training with pups who are willing participants.

I work part-time for my family business and have the flexibility to take my work with me anywhere. That means your pet gets plenty of attention and care! I truly love animals and make them a natural part of my daily life, it’s something that brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment I have three playful, friendly, and highly socialized dogs in my home. Crating is available if needed for your pet’s comfort and safety. My yard features a secure 6-foot privacy fence with plenty of space for your dog to run, play, and explore.

About: I have owned a business for 8 years caring for pets, recently recognized by the Better Business Bureau within the last two years. I have worked with a variety of pets, some super sweet and some reactive, while ensuring both the safely of the pet and myself. I have worked with individuals with different expectations that I do my best to adapt and work with. I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy every minute of my mobile pet care journey. Feel free to message me, and I will let you know if I am available during that time. Pet sitting and walking is my full time job, so unless there is an event or I'm out of town myself, I will most likely be able to meet with you and your pet. Dogs are supervised at all times while outside, even within a fenced yard. If there is no fenced yard, they will be taken outside on a leash. Each visit is an individual visit with your pet alone so there will be no other interaction with pets unless you have others of your own.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have also grown up raising birds, cats, and rabbits. I had my first pet-sitting business when I was just 11 years old. I am a current dog and cat mom. I aspire to be a dog trainer and have my own business one day. I have successfully trained my own dog in a variety of different skills and I am eager to gain even more knowledge to work towards my career. I have 3+ years experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and all temperaments. I also have experience working with dogs with special needs. I just moved to the area and I am currently looking for a full-time position in the animal care field. In the meantime, I am looking to find work through Rover to stay caught up on finances. I do plan to continue using Rover for side-work after finding a full-time job. I also believe it could help me gain experience towards my career goals. My schedule is very open at the moment. I take my dog on walks every evening and have training sessions for an hour every day. Since I live with other people currently, I can only pet-sit in clients’ homes. I do have a very friendly 5-year old doodle who loves to play with other dogs, so I can always bring him along to keep your pet company. I follow my clients’ instructions to the tee whether regarding potty schedules, feeding schedules, bathing, walking, playing, training, etc. I can also do any additional services if need be while caring for your pet at your home.

I can also crate your dog if needed and if they’re trained. My dog is friendly and calm with other dogs. We go on daily walks and he gets his playtime with us!

About: I like to let dogs live out their natural adventurous instincts. I have no issue stopping to sniff ALL the flowers, dance in the grass and mark every. single. territory. No matter the type of pet you have - I don’t discriminate. Also, not embarrassed to be caught singing or whistling while we work. I can guarantee I will NOT be on my cell phone while walking your pup. I love searching for new, fun & safe routes to explore. Animals should be treated with the same patience, love & kindness we give to human beings. On that note, I am vegan “aka” a lover of all beings, even bugs- scared of some but working on myself .. fingers crossed. I have 6 cats currently. Love’m all. My husband and I refer to them as “our children.” The dream is to rescue pitbulls from kill shelters … Also, fingers crossed :)

She was professional and personable, answered all of our questions, and of course loved on our dog! We got pictures and videos every day we were gone and to top it off, the sweetest thank you gift in her dog bag when we picked her up ❤️ Tanya is a masterclass in dog sitting!

As always, Lauren did a wonderful job of watching our Paisley. She is so conscientious and stays in communication while we are gone. Highly recommend! Her daughter is a great help too!

Elizabeth does an awesome job with my 6 yr old terrier mix. She is the best at making him feel at home which makes me feel at ease knowing he is being treated well with lots of cuddles, love and special attention. I 100% recommend her and will definitely use her again.

Mera did a great job at communicating with us. She sent us pictures and updates about our dogs. It was helpful knowing that she was taking such good care of our babies.

Morgan always does a wonderful job with my two dogs. They are happy and tuckered out after a week of cuddles and long walks. I couldn’t ask for a better experience for them.

When you have a Senior dog with medical issues, you just can't take them anywhere. Luckily we found a new local sitter on Rover.com. Jeannie was very welcoming during our meet and greet. I was nervous, because we had a negative experience with our previous sitter. She accepted Lucy Mae and took great care of her. Jeannie was flexible when we extended her stay by one day. We received a daily picture showing a happy pup. Grateful our Beagle did so well❤️ She did so well, she was even asked back!

I was thinking Casper may not want to come home, as it looked like he was having a good time and being spoiled. He was allowed on their sofa and on the bed (things he doesn't get to do at home, at least not while I'm in the room). Great experience and Emily has 2 boys that also gave Casper a lot of attention. I will definitely rebook again as needed.

Benny had a great time with Staci and her pups. She took great care of him and made him feel right at home. Definitely will be using her again, especially with her great back yard for all the dogs to play!

Dana and her family are wonderful! Have been using her for a few years now. She is very genuine and shows my dog love, and my dog(s) love(d) her! Very good communication including updates and photos during their stay, has been flexible and supportive when needed. My dog and I trust Dana and very much appreciate her loving care for the animals.

Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!

Willow was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It was nice knowing she was in good hands, especially since she’s still a puppy. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely book with them again.

I was nervous leaving Mack because he hasn't been watched by anyone other than family in our home. He had a rough start but Becca was trying to work with him and his anxiety. She provided constant updates to help me feel more at ease. She was very caring, very communicative, and I can tell she is passionate about animals and watching them in her home.
