Personalized care for your dog or cat - Herbert
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Herbert
“Mary did such a great job taking care of my dog! She kept me updated and was reliable. She would send me picture/video updates daily and I could tell my dog loved being with her. I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Julia was absolutely a dream! She took such incredible care of our Weimaraner, Mozzie. Great communication, great photos and she made sure he had his own vacation while we were away! 10/10 and will rebook again!”
“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!”
“Ms Theresa provided excellent care for my dog Toby and I felt completely comfortable leaving (Toby) in her hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone lolking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“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.”
“Sumer went above and beyond! She was there for me in a time of crisis and I will never forget that. She helped me out and was very flexible when it was really needed. Also, my dogs love her! I can't believe how fast my shy guy came out of his shell for her! Yay Sumer! Thank you so much!”
“I am very pleased with Tanya's care and attention. She provides a CLEAN place and a space where your pet would be comfortable. She's communicative and her price point is very justifiable as she provides top care. She's by far the best! Would highly recommend.”
“Nicole and her family are great! I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their capable hands. I received pictures regularly and could tell he was a happy pup. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a happy environment for their pups.”

“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.”
“Danielle was very communicative and took care of our dogs like they were her own. Highly recommend. Our dogs got all the love and a daily walk which they definitely enjoyed.”
“Jessica took great care of Avery. She was boarding another rat terrier at the same time and took steps to ensure the two dogs got along at feeding time. Her daughter made sure Avery got lots of love and exercise. She came home happy & healthy. Overall it was a great experience.”
“Geraldene was so great with our little Sandy. She sent communication and videos the whole time we were on vacation and it was obvious that Sandy was enjoying her time there. We will definitely book with her in the future.”

She did daily checkins, was attentive and gave nice updates with photos. Luna has some specific potty needs and Kellie was great, patient, respectful and helpful. We would welcome Kellie again! And would definitely recommend her services!”
“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly! She communicated quickly when she was with him and even brought in my heavy chewy box of dog food that was delivered! I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!”
About: I have cared for cats my entire life and currently have a Ragdoll cat of my own. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always take the time to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quieter approach, I adapt my care to their individual needs. I am happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship during each visit.
About: I have 3 large dogs of my own so I am no newbie to walking big pups! I absolutely love all dogs and am lucky to have the summers off to give them long walks and provide much needed potty breaks! I am off for the summer (June - August) so weekdays at anytime work for me. I also am free to cover while you go on vacations :) I am extra cautious with our fur babies and their safety, happiness, and well-being is of utmost importance When I am in a client’s home or backyard, I am always sure to check the environment so ensure it is safe for pets (i.e. fence is locked, no small pieces around for choking, water available, etc).
About: My name is Angelica! I have been apart of ROVER for over 7 years now. I grew up taking care of my families 2 dogs at home. Now I have my own 4 cats and a foster failed pit! I love animals and enjoy spending my time loving on the animals at the local humane societies! I would truly love to have the opportunity to care for your furry family members while you are away! It is so very important to me that you feel confident leaving your pets in my care because I know that they mean the world to you and therefore, they mean the world to me. I look forward to hearing from you! Please let me know if you have any questions. I Work full time and coach sports but my schedule is very flexible! Able to flex my schedule to let care routines they are use to! I do not care for pets in my home due to my cats being picky about some animals. I usually pet sit in the comfort of the animals home

About: Apart from working as a Veterinary Technician, I have also worked in boarding facilities! I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, cows, chickens... and other random animals throughout my life. To say I love animals is an understatement! I grew up watching pets for family and friends, and now am wanting to branch out! My schedule can be flexible, so we can chat about what you are looking for and I can let you know if I can make it work on my end!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Herbert
“Samantha was amazing with our Sully! He had such a good time playing & we loved all the updates/pictures during his stay. We definitely would rebook when we’re back in the area.”
“Charley and Anthony are so amazing with our pups. We thank god that we found them. They are so flexible with timing and drop offs and they are so good to them. We always feel comfortable relaxing on vacation because we know they are so well cared for. She’s so responsive and always sending updates!! WE LOVE THEM!!”
“Jennifer is simply amazing for both my dog and my piece of mind. In a single week of daycare, she has helped give my dog the confidence he needs to lessen his anxiety issues. Her communication is phenomenal. The pictures are adorable. The report cards are thorough and provides great suggestions, and she's very flexible with my crazy schedule. She is quite truly an angel, when we needed one the most!”
About: As a former 4-H participant, I not only showed dogs but also engaged in comprehensive animal care and training programs. This background has equipped me with the skills to handle pets with patience, precision, and empathy. Whether your furry friend is a high-energy puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I am adept at creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for them. I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me ample time to provide dedicated and attentive care to your pets. Open to drop ins to overnight stay or boarding. Services Offered: Dog Walking: Energetic and engaging walks tailored to your dog's pace and stamina. Pet Sitting: Reliable in-home care, ensuring your pet’s routine is maintained just as you would. Drop-In Visits: Perfect for pets who need a quick check-in, feeding, or some playtime. House Sitting: I can look after your pets overnight in your home, providing peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, I’ve also had several rodents, mice and rats, and I’ve looked after friends dogs. I have fostered many cats and I’m also very experienced with giving animals medicine. I work remote and will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! I just graduated college, I’m looking for an additional source of income to add to my remote job. I’m pretty open week days and may be able to make different times work on Fridays and Sundays. My schedule can be flexible, so feel free to reach out 🙂 I will follow all of the owners instructions, send pictures and text message updates. I can have cats and cat friendly dogs spend the night. I have two cats but they will be kept seperately. Let me know if you have any special requests :)
“Stacy has been watching Trixie about 2 to 3 times a week since I adopted Trixie at 4 months old over a year ago. She's been a godsend allowing me to work downtown and have care for Trixie. She goes above and beyond, and I'm pretty sure Trixie thinks she's her mom :) Thanks for everything Stacy!”
About: I’ve taken care of my sweet 70 lb pit bull for 4 years now in my home with a fully fenced backyard, downstairs dog play area, private room and crate for your dog, and eufy camera access to the private room. My dog has esophageal dysmotility so I understand medically complicated dogs. My home is ideal for a dog that is lower energy and enjoys calm and quiet environments. I work remote so I am home throughout the day other than the occasional doctor appointment. On average when I leave the home, it’s usually only about 2 hours and the max is about 4 hours. I also take my dog to a home groomer every other week so I can coordinate with you to take your dog to my groomer when my dog goes for grooming for an extra cost plus you paying the groomer separately. The most important thing is that your dog and my dog get along and/or are neutral. When I leave for brief periods your dog will be crated in their private room with the door closed and my dog will be loose but without access to your dog. Note: I DO NOT take dogs on walks. I believe it is too high risk for potential altercation with other dogs or your pet and I being separated. The alternative will be my backyard where they can play and explore and also I have a downstairs dog play area with a large dog bed and many toys! I work fully remote so your dog will be with me at all times (unless I have an appointment or errand to run) either in my office, their own private room with a crate, or in the living room. I typically wake up around 6 am and pet care happens whenever my dog needs so I can do the same for your dog in terms of potty breaks and feeding and play time. I am typically in bed by 8 pm but will get up if needed to take my dog out to the bathroom as well. Safety is my main priority. I require that our dogs get along/are neutral to one another to prevent any sort of altercation. If there ever is an altercation, you would be informed immediately and the dogs can easily be separated for the rest of the day/boarding booking. I have a very quiet and calm home and live in a quiet neighborhood as well. I take breaks during work to get on the couch and spend time with my dog and will do the same for yours! Your dog must be crate trained and will be put in a crate for any time I must leave the home (max 4 hours at a time). Your dog will also have to be either in their crate or in their private room with the door closed while I sleep. Them being able to be in their private room with the door closed while I sleep will be allowed on a case-by-case basis. Note: I DO NOT take dogs on walks. I believe it is too high of a safety risk for potential altercation with other dogs or your pet and I being separated. The alternative will be my backyard where they can play and explore and also I have a downstairs dog play area with a large dog bed and many toys!

About: Since a child, I have been trusted to watch, walk, and care for neighbors and friends dogs. I still care for my friends and families dogs.

I enjoy the bond and training from the start. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom looking to start working again and thought this would be a great fit due to my passion with animals. I have a flexible schedule and am available to board most days. Dogs will be given love and attention, play, walks, really whatever they are into or owner needs.

“Lenny had a great experience at doggy daycare. He’s a rescue and a little shy at first, but the Dan made him feel safe and comfortable right away. I really appreciate the caring environment and attention they give the dogs. 🐾”
About: I have always had pets.When I was young my dad would always being home rescue dogs just because someone said the dog needed a home. I love animals big and small and would love to care for your pup. I now have two cats that are rescues and a very loving German Shepherd who gets along with any dog or cat he meets. I have three children who all love animals just as much as I do we have a large yard but it's not fenced in so we do Walk or use a lead in the backyard. My cats also get along great with any dog. We look forward to meeting you and your Furry Babies thank you for considering me have a great day.
About: I have had pets as long as I can remember - from the playful puppy all the way through the senior years. My pup, Alice, is a 60 pound sweetheart who enjoys making new puppy friends. My cat, Bubby, keeps to herself most of the time, but is super loving on her terms. I am currently working permanently from home giving me the opportunity to offer a flexible schedule for early drop offs and/or later pickups if necessary. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup to keep your dog company in your absence. I have one cat as well, but she keeps to herself most of the time.
“This is our second time we have Jackie but having another second dog is a little bit more challenging but it all went well as expected. Jackie always keeps us all updated with photos and videos that really makes us feel happy and secured that our furbabies are safe and well taken care of. Definitely Charlie had so much fun playing with the other dogs and Pebbles enjoyed watching them. Thank you again Jackie for keeping our furbabies for the day. We will absolutely see you again!”
About: I grew up with dogs all of my life. We always had at least one dog and usually a cat growing up. My family and I now have 3 dogs- Cocker Spaniel, Bernedoodle, and a Beagle mix. We treat our dogs as family- humans. I consider them my children. I am a former foster for Tails, but unfortunately I had to give that up due to getting attached to them all. ❤️ *update- I’m fostering again! 🥰💕❤️ I am a stay at home mom to my 3 dogs! My 15, 12, and 6 year old are in school all day. I am home all day besides an occasional errand, school drop off/pickup, or an after school or weekend sporting event for my boys. My husband also has a flexible work schedule. In fact, I usually have him come along on meet & greets so that we can tag team visits if need be. We have a Petsafe invisible fence. If you have a Petsafe collar, then it should work at my home. Besides the Petsafe invisible fence, we have an extra long tie out in the backyard. We also have a fenced in area near the pool which is unavailable during pool season otherwise open. I recently put up a fenced area that is suitable for dogs that aren’t jumpers or strong. Our yard is about half an acre. I’m happy to walk a dog on a leash in the yard or around the neighborhood as well. We have a beautiful walking path nearby. I also love giving the option to pet owners for in home visits while they’re gone. Sometimes a pet is more content and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to visit 3-4 times a day to provide some company, feed, and allow for potty breaks. It’s really a great option for many who don’t enjoy being boarded at a facility.
“Can’t thank Christina enough for coming through on such short notice! Blair had the best time and was the happiest pup with her. So grateful to have someone I can trust with my baby, knowing she’s in great hands and having a fun day.”
“Kaya really enjoyed her first visit with Elizabeth!! This was the first time she’s had dog sitting in a sitters home and it went really well! I felt very comfortable with Elizabeth and Kaya really likes her 😊”
About: Hello, I'm a dog lover, of all breeds, big and small and everything in between. I truly believe that your precious canine/feline will be truly at home with me. Animals off all sizes and breeds are special to me and also to God. I know I have a couple less than desirable reviews, but they were total misunderstandings. Unfortunately they stay on my page which makes me so sad because it gives me great joy to be there and stand in the gap for these precious animals. I also watch caged pets. I am very flexible, available at a moments notice. I love all animals and do everything in my power to accommodate. I'm not perfect but I love all animals perfectly. Another chance appreciated!!
“Jocelyn made me feel confident and at ease leaving my puppy, Winnie, in her care alongside her well-mannered dog, Bella. Caring for a puppy comes with added responsibility, but Jocelyn handled it well. Positive experiences and structure are vital for Winnie’s development in her first year, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone who will help shape her into the best version of herself!”

“I’ve used Rover in the past and after an initial meeting, have had great luck with dog walkers. Michelle is even a step above those walkers. Her kindness and patience in allowing my timid dog to get used to her slowly, over a few visits, was such a relief. Michelle’s a rockstar! 😊”
About: My whole life I’ve had animals cats dogs farm animals I love them all. I’ve handled big dogs and small dogs and have sitted for friends when they leave for vacation.

I am comfortable with all pets My cat has her cat tower and clean litter boxes and she also sleeps in bed too. Lots of play time playing with her toys as well
About: I got my first dog when I was only 6 years old, since then, I care about all the dogs so much & help my family & my friends with their dogs, cats or any other animals - even horses - they need help with. I can help with puppies & seniors, I can care about them in health & sickness. My dogs are my children, they are my family. I spoil all my babies from playing in the pool or giving them a ride in a special pet stroller - & spoil them to death. I have 1/4 acre, almost fully fenced yard, but I also have invisible fence. Plenty toys & my dog to keep company & play with. I have mini pool to cool them off & pet stroller if they are tired or too old to walk. You need just bring your baby & the food & I will provide love, care & everything else they need. I work 2-3 days a week for only few hours. Sometimes I help with my grandchildren or I need to run out for an hour to do extra special chores to care about other animals. Besides this, I am always home. I enjoy playing & cuddling with dogs & cats, they are the best friens & family. If I am at your house - your rules, if we are at my house - also your rules but my little guests are always allowed to be on my sofa or sleep on my bed.
About: I have cared for family members' and neighbors' dogs for many years. I prioritize walks, since it's most dog's favorite time of day! I always give dogs the attention they deserve when I am babysitting as well! I'm currently working part-time in the evenings + I LOVE morning walks! Would love to start off my day right or get some time in the sun midday:D If needed, I can still walk your dog(s) even if you are not home. I have experience entering/exiting homes and making sure pups are back safely in their designated areas.
About: I have extensive knowledge, regarding care, medication administration, training - grooming and more! I take passion in helping animals, have worked with them my whole life as well as professionally worked at a surgical vet clinic, enhancing medical - related knowledge.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I have good experience with giving oral medications and giving support to dogs with anxiety or anxiousness. Great with walking dogs with all different sizes and energy levels. I also have great knowledge when it comes to cleaning care for puppies or seniors rather that be in cages or any where within the house. I support rescue services for pets as I have adopted a dog from Tails myself. Lastly I am great at managing multiple dogs at once as I currently have three dogs with my family. I am currently take a CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) class as I am looking to become a nurse in my future. I starting college this year so I’m looking to find a job during this summer. With having CNA class I am available most weekdays and for sure weekends. I have class Tuesdays and Wednesdays being available after 12:30 and have Friday Clinicals at a Nursing home in DeKalb leaving that day majority full. While in my own home or a clients home I always make sure the pet feels like their in a comfortable and safe environment with surroundings and with me. A pets health mentally and physically is really important to me as I make sure they get the right exercise, rest, attention and love they of course deserve. Keeping them with their daily routines and schedule is also very necessary to me when it comes to feedings and water, play inside and outside, rest and walks which are my favorite. Keeping my clients home clean and protected is also something very important to me as it helps the dog be familiar in their safe and comfortable space and also help the owner gain trust and rely on me as much as possible! Updates are a really big thing I offer service to, I am a really great communicator and responsible person so letting them know how their pet is doing and being cared for is very critical.

About: We are animal lovers, energetic, and will love your pet(s) like our own. We have two fur babies and one fur-less baby: Remi (Sphynx cat), and Memphis and Kota (Australian Cattle Dogs). We both grew up with and around pets, and have past experience looking after them for friends, family, and Rover clients. We have done it all: Dog-walking, drop-ins, house-sitting, and doggy daycare. We would love to meet you and your pet at a public dog park before dog or cat sitting so we can get to know you better. We could be the perfect fit if your pup needs let out or a midday walk while you’re at work or away for the day/weekend. Please let us know if you have any questions or special requests. Both of us work from home, so we are very flexible and will do our best to be able to work with your schedule and needs. Our pets love to have company and play dates. Your pets will be entertained and playing as much as they want during their stay with us. Our home is pet friendly and safe for our babies and yours.
About: Friends and family trust me with their dogs and I know how to train, bathe, walk, and cut dogs nails because I have a dog of my own that I care for. At the moment, I am not working so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and spoil them with the attention they deserve. I have my own dog named Ollie who loves other dogs and is gentle with them. He will roll with whatever your dog wants to do, but if one of them is uncomfortable, Ollie will be fine with being in his crate. My boyfriend, Anthony, who lives with me will definitely give your dog lots of cuddles and play fetch as long as they want. I live like 2 minutes away from a park where I could take them on a nice long walk.
About: I had family pets throughout my childhood that I would help take care of. Now, I have 2 dogs of my own! they are both two years old and have a ton of energy. I have a very flexible schedule with my other job. I am mostly always available to pet sit or take your dog for a walk, unless I am traveling. I have an adorable friendly golden retriever and high energy ausiedoodle that always wantto play, I have many toys and treats, and a crate if needed. If your fur baby needs anything specific gladly let me know!

About: Skilled Dog Walker with 1+ year of experience in providing reliable and safe walks for a variety of breeds. Well-versed in developing positive relationship with pets and owners. I’m currently work full-time during the weekdays but I do have some time boarding dogs for the weekend. I’m always free to take a good care of dogs for weekends when their owner needs some break or out of the town! I live in a house with a huge fenced in backyard with a lot of space for the dogs to play around. I also have two dogs, they get along with any dogs! I also do enjoy taking dogs for a long walk nearby the neighborhood for some fresh air.
“Jeannie is terrific! She really took the time to get to know our dog and asked many questions about his needs & care before the stay. Our dog can be a little challenging at times but Jeannie handled everything like a true professional! So many updates and great pictures throughout our Cooper’s stay made us feel relieved and comfortable knowing he was in great hands! We would definitely recommend her, and will use her again!”
“Barlow enjoyed his stay at the “retreat”. He came home a calm and relaxed hound- I think he learned to meditate while he was there! He’s so chill now. Banks Derek!”
“Barbara and her sons was great. I would receive pictures daily and knew she was in good hands, just the way she looked. Miss Molly will enjoy again going back there when I need to go out of town, Thanks again, Jodi”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”
“Carolyn was fantastic! Not only did she take awesome care of our dog, but she kept us well informed with daily photos and updates. She put our minds at ease. Our dog seemed to have a great time and adjusted right away to his new surroundings. I would not hesitate at all to leave him again with Carolyn.”
“Emily and family treated our Briggs like their own. They went on walks, cozied up by the fire and had a sleepover in the living room because he can’t get up stairs very well. I was sent pictures and he looked happy and content! We will be sure to give Emily a call next time we need someone to watch Briggs!”
“Carla is the best! We had never trusted anyone to fully board our puppy (Ruth) before, but Carla knocked it out of the park. We vacationed for over a week and Carla sent us photo and video updates frequently. She was very inquisitive about Ruth's habits and how she acted at home, and worked to be as amenable as possible. The living area both in and outside the house was so dog friendly, and she was willing to let Ruth go over a few times for playdates to get comfortable before staying over. Just an extremely pleasant experience, her flexibility and comfort/skill with dogs put her leaps and bounds ahead of any dog boarding experience we could've hoped for.”
