“I recently used Ashley to watch my fur baby Lexi while I was out of town and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Lexi had a fantastic time with Ashley and her family. She received so much love and attention as well as play time that she was clearly missing them for the next few days after we picked her up. Ashley was incredibly kind, responsible, and attentive to my dog's needs. I received regular updates and photos which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pup. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Lexi!”

“Fredy took such amazing care of my German Shepherd. He constantly sent me pictures and updates, and truly made him feel like part of the family. You can tell he genuinely loves animals and treats them like his own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was happy, loved, and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend Fredy to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!”
“We are very pleased with Beatrice’s experience and caring for our 13 year old Cairn terrier Poodle mix that stayed with her for a week! That is the longest he has stayed away from us and he was in great shape when we picked him up. He was very well taken care of, and we received daily reports from her that were very reassuring. It was like a home away from home. We definitely plan to have him stay where whenever needed in the future! Thank you Beatrice!”
“Selena did an amazing job and made the whole experience feel effortless. My pup had the best time ever and even better was Selena was incredible about updating me with pictures and videos throughout it all. Selena and her pups were great in welcoming my boy into their home, I could tell my dog was bummed when his stay ended. I would definitely rebook and encourage anyone looking for someone they can trust to take of their pets to look no further”
“Would definitely recommend Minqi. Great communication throughout out the stay of our babies and she took great care of them. We were very much at ease knowing that the babies were well cared for. Thank you so much, Minqi!”
“Pat went above and beyond to care for our senior pup who is prone to some anxiety. She took care of our dog as if she were her own. She provided lots of updates and pictures and we knew that our girl was in very good hands. Pat has a nice, big and fenced-in backyard which we know our dog enjoyed exploring. Communication was quick and easy from the meet and greet through the entire visit. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old,I've also taken care of special needs dogs and other animals as I am an animal lover. I am actually majoring in animal biology and veterinary medicine so that I can become a veterinarian. I was president of my animal club all through high school where I would set up and host adoption events, set up volunteer days at the human society and other animal shelters. There were even days I would set aside to make treats, toys and blankets for shelter dogs and other animals. I am usually free 24/7 so I'll have a bunch of free time to play and love on your fur babies, especially if they have a lot of energy and need to burn it off and run around. I do not start school until the fall but even then it is online so I will still have plenty of time to give them all my attention. I can easily crate your pup if need be and I also have doggy gates so they won't be able to run out of the door. I always have treats and toys on me and I stay by a dog friendly park to keep your dog occupied and engaging in some sort activity.
“This was the first time I left my dog overnight. Trish sent me photos so I could see that Pennington was safe and happy. She was amazing and I would definitely leave my dog with her if Needed.”
“Melvin enjoyed his time with Marisol. She kept me up to date with texts and photos. She also purchased optional food when Melvin wasn’t eating his regular food which had never happened before. I’ll use her services again in the future.”
“We couldn't be happier with Kim taking care of our little one. We loved the communication and photo's throughout her stay. She came home happy and healthy, and we were extremely comfortable that Kim was prepared for all things "dogs". She has a great strengthen in training, and we are already scheduling her again before someone else does for our next trip!”
“Ashley was so awesome with our dog, Chino! She asked how often we would like updates, and we met for 2 meet and greets before boarding so chino would be more comfortable and used to her and their dog. I highly recommend Ashley for any pet sitting needs!”
“Beth was wonderful! Very reliable, responsible, and great with communication. She also sent pictures while on trio of my puppies and fast responses to my messages. I would highly recommend Beth based on not just her being so great with pets but also because she is very caring and genuine with not only the pets but the owners too which made us feel very comfortable. She was and is the best! We will be having her for any trips watching our puppies in the near future!”

“Nicolle was incredibly friendly and took the best care of my kitties! I’ve boarded my cats at the kennel before but they had an awful time, I was nervous to let a “stranger” into their space, but it was much more stress-free for them! Nicolle is quick to respond and asks great questions to make sure all of your pets’ needs are met. She also updated after every visit with fun notes and pictures of my girls! I will definitely be booking again! :)”
“My shy, 'scaredy cat' disappears & hides from anyone coming into our house..until Amy put him at ease coaxing him gently out of hiding; Amy has a very gentle approach & a soothing voice. She sent a photo each day to me of Sebastien enjoying her company, getting belly rubs, sitting or sleeping next to her on the sofa. He never reacted that way with other sitters I've had. Amy is the best 'cat whisperer'. I will always request her whenever we are out of town.”
About: As a devoted cat mom to JoJo, my 7-year-old cat, I know firsthand how independent yet sensitive cats can be. I understand the importance of maintaining your cat's routine, keeping their environment clean and comfortable, and giving them the right balance of gentle attention and personal space. I take litter box cleaning seriously — a clean space is a happy cat. Whether your cat prefers cuddles or quiet company, I follow your instructions carefully and treat every cat with the same patience and love I give JoJo every day. Your cat is in safe, caring hands.
“Glen did an excellent job taking care of Coco. He gave her a walk, made lunch and all the required water and bathroom breaks. We will leave coco again under the excellent care of Glen.”

Your pets would have full access to upstairs, entry, and basement levels.
About: I have grown up in an animal loving family my entire life. Despite my parents having four kids (with me being the youngest), we always made room for many furry friends.

Currently my family has three dogs and one cat, and I have two Ragdoll kitties! I currently work at home as a software engineer, but I work on my own schedule and can take breaks whenever needed. I also have most nights free to take care of your pet(s). I have multiple experiences caring for houses and I always make sure that the residence is secure and the pets are safe. Also, I have a girlfriend who lives with me that can take care of my own cats making my availability flexible.

“Albina was amazing! She continuously updated me on my puppy. I obtained photos, confirmations in feeding, adjustments when needed, and so much more. Overall, she made my first experience with Rover great. I will be using her services again.”
“Mike was very gentle and caring with my sweet sensitive dog Penny for a day of doggie daycare in his home. She was struggling emotionally due to our recent relocation from out of state and being separated from me during my workdays at my new job. The big doggie daycares were too much commotion and not enough human interaction for her. Mike provided a quiet, caring and safe space in his home with plenty of attention and support for Penny. He sent pictures and texted updates during the day. He walked her several times as requested. Plus he was available last minute when another person cancelled on us. I am so grateful for Mike’s flexibility and support which gave me great peace of mind. I absolutely recommend him to others and will be back for sure!”
“Katy was conveniently located near our stay in SF and used her for doggy day care. She took good care of our normally shy/scared dog and did a great job of making him more comfortable.”
“Bruno had another wonderful day with his buddies at daycare. Ashley provided opportunities for him to socialize, to exercise, and stimulation. We are so grateful for the time she puts in to making the experience great for Bruno”
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”

About: We treat the foster or sitter dogs as our own. My wife likes dogs, she worked as a volunteer to foster the dog for 3 years, and she continues to foster the rescue dog home. She has full-time to take care of boarding dogs. My wife has no other jobs, she has plenty of time to play or walk dogs as needs. She enjoys taking care of dogs. We can have boarding dogs for any day, we also can pick them up or deliver if need. We have a fenced yard, also have a cage in the home if need. Any dog will be like in its own home. We have toys and also other snacks for dogs.
About: I Take a Personalized Approach and Maintain Constant Communication I don’t treat all pets the same. I carefully assess the behavior of each animal, understanding that an adult dog has different needs than an energetic puppy or a shy cat. Before accepting any booking, I conduct a detailed consultation to learn about your pet’s routine, fears, favorite activities, and specific medical needs. In addition, I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I don’t just say, “They’re doing fine.” I’ll tell you how well they ate, how much they played, and how their walk went, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. My time management and the way I integrate pet care into my daily routine are designed to ensure consistency and individualized attention, as your pet’s routine is essential to their well-being. In summary, my schedule is built around reliability, consistency, and controlled flexibility, ensuring that your pet’s care fits seamlessly into my day without ever feeling rushed or stressful. ● Home-Like Environment, No Crates: My home is fully pet-proofed and designed to make pets feel like they’re in a second home. Pets live alongside me and are never confined to a crate unless specifically requested by the owner. ● 24/7 Supervision: Pets staying in my home receive constant supervision. I only leave for very short, planned periods, and only when the pet is comfortable, safe, and secure. ● Small Group Care: I accept only a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one receives individualized attention and that the environment remains calm, safe, and manageable. ● Secure Exercise Area: My home features a securely fenced yard where pets can enjoy supervised playtime and socialization (with the owner's approval and if the pet enjoys interacting with others). In summary, I choose the care option that best meets your pet’s emotional and physical needs—whether that means the comfort of staying in their own home or the constant supervision and companionship offered in mine.
About: I’ve been caring for my Labradoodle for the past 3.5 years, so I understand how much attention, exercise, and love dogs need. From long walks and playtime to maintaining routines and basic training, I’m comfortable handling active and affectionate dogs. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making them feel at home. I’m used to structuring my day around my Labradoodle’s needs - walks, meals, and playtime are already part of my routine. Because of that, caring for another dog feels very natural, and I make sure they get the same consistency and attention. I provide a safe, supervised home with a fully fenced yard for play. My friendly Labradoodle gets along well with other dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, offer crate use if preferred, and allow dogs on furniture so they feel at home.
“Kendall was great to work with and took great care of our two dogs. She expanded her regular day care hours at a reasonable rate so we could have an all day family outing in Chi town. We would definitely use her services again.”
About: Over the past year, I have been actively pet sitting for friends, caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, litter box care, and following specific instructions to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet sitting, walking, and playtime, except when I’m traveling occasionally. My journey into Rover boarding comes from a place of deep love for dogs. After 11 wonderful years together, my beloved dog passed away two years ago. While my heart has healed, I missed the joyful energy, the sound of paws on the floor, and the companionship of a dog in the house. I chose to start pet boarding because it allows me to pour all that lifetime of accumulated love, patience, and spoiling into your furry baby! When your pet stays with me, they won't just be "looked after"—they will be treated with the exact same deep devotion, warmth, and care that I gave my own boy for over a decade. I will only take one pet a time for boarding. Pet will enjoy completely unrestricted, free roam of our home, plenty of one-on-one attention, and a daily routine tailored exactly to their comfort level. Please bring your pets food and treats. If your pet has favorite bed/blanket/toy, bring them, otherwise they can use our dog bed, our sofa and, my bed! Small or medium size dogs (<40 lb).
“Addison took a last minute booking when I was in a bind. She was super communicative and made everything so easy on a very short timeline. She sent tons of updates and was very thoughtful about adapting to Mae Belle's personality and needs. Mae Belle was very comfortable when I picked her up and she clearly enjoyed her time with Addison and Crew. I would use her again in a heartbeat.”
About: Hi! I’m Kimberly, but I go by Kim 😊 I’ve had dogs my whole life — I’m 39 now, so that’s a lot of years loving pups! I’ve cared for everything from tiny 5 lb cuties to big 120+ lb snugglers, and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve worked on training with my own dogs and am comfortable giving medications when needed. As a foster with a local rescue, I’ve helped anxious, scared, and quirky dogs feel safe and loved. I truly believe every dog is unique, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for like family. I work fully remote, so your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and company throughout the day. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog. 🏡 I live in a pet-friendly apartment and provide lots of walks, snuggles, and personalized care. I generally keep my bookings limited to ensure each dog gets the attention they need, though I may occasionally take on more during high-demand times like holidays or school breaks. 🏡 ✨ Best fit: dogs that are low to moderate shedders or regularly groomed. I especially love poodles and poodle mixes (doodles)—their energy, intelligence, and personalities are a great match for my home. Smaller low-shedding breeds like schnauzers and shih tzus also do really well here. If your dog is a heavier shedder, feel free to reach out and we can chat. ✨ ⚠️ Safety requirements: 🐾 4–6 ft leash only (no retractables) 🐾 Harness if your dog pulls or is over 40 lbs 🐾 Must be comfortable in a crate when needed 🐾 Must wear a collar with ID tags at all times 🚫 Dogs must have no history of aggression toward other dogs. No toys, bones, or chews from home to help prevent resource guarding or conflicts. 🚫 I maintain a calm, structured, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax and coexist comfortably.
“This was my first time sending my puppy-Leo to a daycare. Darrilyn was amazing! She took really good care of my dog. She sent photos and kept me updated. Leo had a great time and he looked happy. I will definitely recommend her services and will rebook. ❤️”

“I'm home with a fractured toe so I get to see how happy my dog is when he sees Amy! It's nearly a week since she started. She's always on time and takes him on nice long walks.”
About: As a devoted dog mom to Milo, my pup I raised and trained from puppyhood, I know exactly what dogs need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I have hands-on experience teaching dogs essential commands, including leash walking, leave it, and stay, building the good habits and confidence every dog needs. I also have real experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, helping them feel calm, secure, and comfortable when their favorite human isn't around. Beyond my own dog, I have experience caring for and training friends' and family's adult dogs of various breeds and temperaments. I understand that every dog is different, and I take time to learn your dog's personality, routine, and preferences before every visit. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, playtime, or just calm companionship, I give every dog the same patience, consistency, and love I give Milo every single day. Pet care fits naturally and consistently into my daily routine. I am available every morning starting at 6:30 AM for early walks, drop-ins, and check-ins — perfect for pets who need care before their owners head to work. I continue availability through 4:30 PM, covering midday walks, afternoon drop-ins, and extended care throughout the day. I also offer evening availability from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM for end-of-day walks, feeding check-ins, and bedtime drop-ins. Your pet will always receive timely, reliable care on a consistent daily schedule — no last-minute scrambling or uncertainty. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I always respect your home and your pet's space. During walks, I keep your dog safely on leash at all times and wipe down their paws and bottom before re-entering your home — keeping your floors and furniture clean and fresh. For cat drop-in visits, I make sure your cat is fed according to your exact instructions, clean the litter box thoroughly including the surrounding area, and ensure the space is left tidy and exactly as I found it. I stay within the areas of your home you designate — your space and privacy are always respected. I follow your instructions carefully every single visit, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, clean, and well cared for."
“Jennifer is amazing with our dogs and really helped us out when we needed her. Animals clearly love and feel comfortable with her; even my chihuahuah who hates everyone comes up to her. Will be using Jennifer again and again. Thanks so much for taking good care of our girls”
“Kate, was an excellent dog walker. I appreciated the updates she gave on every walk with my dog. Whether it was a potty break, water break, or pictures of my dog she was on top of keeping me in the loop. She was punctual too and was flexible with changing the walk schedule if I needed to for weather.”
“Elena took wonderful care of our two French bulldogs. She was in constant communication during our time away and sent us many pictures and videos. She also asked follow up questions as needed. Our doggies were well taken care of with Elena and we will definitely be asking her to dog walk again for us in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch, I’m comfortable with all personalities and energy levels. For the past two years, I’ve also house sat for my neighbors’ cats, making sure they’re well-fed, loved, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and at home. I’m home for the holidays, so I’m free to dedicate my days to taking care of your furry family members! I love walking (even if it’s cold out) and playing with pets. I am very attentive and hands-on with pets. I am able to detect when animals are uncomfortable. I also have experience administering medicine for pets!
“Heather is always punctual but more importantly engaging with the pet she is there to care for as well as the others just vying for attn. Highly recommend Heather for your 4 legged family members. This message is approved by my pup!”
“Valerie is an amazing and reliable dog walk walker and sitter. One of our pups had gotten sick when she checked on them, and she was comminucative and went above and beyond. I look forward to working with her again! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5, and i’ve watched dogs for family and friends! I’ve taken care of dogs as small as a Yorkie, to as big as a Great Dane! I currently work as a softball coach so I am typically not available on Tuesdays or Thursdays past 5pm. Additionally, I have tournaments on the weekends which make me unavailable most weekends. But this all means that I would love to work for you during the day while you’re at work or just need a break! I can watch your dog in your own home, and I am very comfortable taking dogs outside or in the back yard. I will listen to your instructions regarding food and crating, as I know every home and animal is different!

About: Pets are like family! They show us unconditional love and affection. When you are away you want to know your pet is in good hands with someone who has experience, is dependable and you can trust. I have owned pets for most of my life of various breeds and sizes and have a lot of experience with pet care. I am a registered nurse by trade and am comfortable administering medications or providing special care/ bathing services if needed. I value exercise and am very active , so if your pooch has lots of energy to burn they will be in good hands! You can be comfortable knowing your pet will be showered with love and totally pampered while you are away! My neighbor is older and has limited mobility so I regularly take his pup out for walks or watch her at my place where she can play with my kids. My sister lives nearby and I watch her doggos when she is out of town. I have provided doggy day care and boarding services on Rover for several years :) You want to know that your pets are in good hands and that they will be safe while you are away. Safety is a top priority when I am pet sitting. I make sure to follow any specific requests owners may have and can send pics so you feel more comfortable!
“Bonnie provided the most genuine and compassionate care while I was out of town. From the very start, I felt very comfortable w/ her caring for my dog and she was excellent communicating with me throughout the entire time.”
About: From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by furry friends and have always adored them. My four-legged companions have included a German Shepherd, a Newfoundland, a Poodle, Staffordshire Terrier and 2 rescue cats. After many moves, and in my first year living in America, we adopted a Havanese-Bichon mix, and it has been the best decision ever! To me, dogs are an endless source of joy. They are the most loyal and loving creatures on the planet! I love playing with them, teaching them new tricks, going for walks, watching them, and giving them lots of cuddles. A walk with a dog fills me with energy and positive emotions. I love them, and they feel it and love me back. When it comes to cats, I understand that cats choose you, not the other way around. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, providing respectful care that helps cats feel safe, relaxed, and at home. You can trust that your furry friends will be safe and surrounded by love when they are with me, whether it’s for a walk, feeding, or just spending time together.

“I recently used Ashley to watch my fur baby Lexi while I was out of town and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Lexi had a fantastic time with Ashley and her family. She received so much love and attention as well as play time that she was clearly missing them for the next few days after we picked her up. Ashley was incredibly kind, responsible, and attentive to my dog's needs. I received regular updates and photos which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pup. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Lexi!”

“Selena did an amazing job and made the whole experience feel effortless. My pup had the best time ever and even better was Selena was incredible about updating me with pictures and videos throughout it all. Selena and her pups were great in welcoming my boy into their home, I could tell my dog was bummed when his stay ended. I would definitely rebook and encourage anyone looking for someone they can trust to take of their pets to look no further”
“Pat went above and beyond to care for our senior pup who is prone to some anxiety. She took care of our dog as if she were her own. She provided lots of updates and pictures and we knew that our girl was in very good hands. Pat has a nice, big and fenced-in backyard which we know our dog enjoyed exploring. Communication was quick and easy from the meet and greet through the entire visit. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old,I've also taken care of special needs dogs and other animals as I am an animal lover. I am actually majoring in animal biology and veterinary medicine so that I can become a veterinarian. I was president of my animal club all through high school where I would set up and host adoption events, set up volunteer days at the human society and other animal shelters. There were even days I would set aside to make treats, toys and blankets for shelter dogs and other animals. I am usually free 24/7 so I'll have a bunch of free time to play and love on your fur babies, especially if they have a lot of energy and need to burn it off and run around. I do not start school until the fall but even then it is online so I will still have plenty of time to give them all my attention. I can easily crate your pup if need be and I also have doggy gates so they won't be able to run out of the door. I always have treats and toys on me and I stay by a dog friendly park to keep your dog occupied and engaging in some sort activity.
“We couldn't be happier with Kim taking care of our little one. We loved the communication and photo's throughout her stay. She came home happy and healthy, and we were extremely comfortable that Kim was prepared for all things "dogs". She has a great strengthen in training, and we are already scheduling her again before someone else does for our next trip!”
“Ashley was so awesome with our dog, Chino! She asked how often we would like updates, and we met for 2 meet and greets before boarding so chino would be more comfortable and used to her and their dog. I highly recommend Ashley for any pet sitting needs!”
“Beth was wonderful! Very reliable, responsible, and great with communication. She also sent pictures while on trio of my puppies and fast responses to my messages. I would highly recommend Beth based on not just her being so great with pets but also because she is very caring and genuine with not only the pets but the owners too which made us feel very comfortable. She was and is the best! We will be having her for any trips watching our puppies in the near future!”
“Pennie was so fabulous. I could tell at our initial meet and greet at her home that she loves the pets she cares for and ensures the environment they're staying in suits their needs perfectly. We left our two dogs with her for a week and received pictures daily. She even let our bulldog mix who is afraid of thunder sleep in her room during three days of bad storms. I'm so happy we found Pennie after our previous dog sitter moved out of state.”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of our 2.5 year old Mae again! They treated her like family and she had a great frolicking with their family dogs and visiting guest dogs. Very accommodating with some minor changes to our plans. Thank you!”
“Charlie loves going to Darrilyns, he's always tuckered out from playing. Love the pics we receive, plus appreciate her being available last minute when we needed it.”
About: My name is Sandra and I’m 28 years old. I have two furry family members; Bonbon, an 11 year old poodle mix, and Wally, a 3 year old collie mix. I currently work as a Dog Groomer, but have about 6 years of experience in the Dog Daycare industry. My past jobs have given me the experience needed to handle and care for dogs of all sizes. They’ve also taught me how to greet an unfamiliar dog, how to do feedings for various dogs, administer medication, and how to detect signs of aggression and fear. With my personal experience and professional experience, I am well equipped to handle dogs in all stages of life. With that being said, It takes patience, hard work, and honesty to care for a dog. My offered services to clients are met with the highest of standards. I believe in giving 100% in all work that I do, meaning you’ll never receive less than excellent care for your best friend. It’s difficult to leave your dog in the hands of a stranger, however, I always treat every dog the way I would want my dog to be treated: like family. If you have any questions regarding my services, please feel free to reach out! I am fully committed to Rover, meaning I have full availability, and can give your furry family members my full attention 7 days a week. I care for your pets the way I would care for my own. Every furry family member is different, and you know them best. I can guarantee my care will reflect the dog’s lifestyle. Whether you crate at home, or your pet snuggles in bed with yourself; I aim to keep the routine as close as possible to that at home.
