“Ashley is such a great sitter! Moose had the best time with her and her family. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely let Moose stay with her again in the future ☻”
“Kelly and her family were great. They took wonderful care of my yorkie. It was his first time with a pet sitter and they made the experience stress free. The daily picture updates were greatly appreciated! 100% recommend!”
“Our pup had the best time with Christina! She has the perfect house for a doggie retreat- lots of toys, great yard, other doggies to play with, and a lot of attention. She did a great job of sending daily pictures. You can tell that she loves her dogs and did everything she could to make sure our pup had a great week. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our 1st time using Rover and was a little nervous leaving my baby with someone i didnt know. My pup had a wonderful time, received updates and photos which helped keep my mind at ease. She was well taken care of and got to hav a vacation with other pups while we were gone. Will definitely recommend Shannon and will use her again in the future. Thank u again”
“Matthew was wonderful with Kash he made us feel really comfortable leaving him. Updates were awesome many pictures and detailed text. Kash was such a happy camper. Will we use Matthew again? Most definitely without a doubt. Matthew is exceptional.”
“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”
“Excellent experience with Melissa! It was our first time using Rover. Melissa sent pictures and updates of our dog everyday. She was extremely responsive and transparent. Highly recommend!”
“Barbora took very good care of our dog, Fred! He’s often hesitant in new environments, and she kept me up to date on how he was doing and sent pictures too. Thanks for taking great care of him!!”
“Another excellent stay for Bella with Jessica! This is our 2nd stay with her, but it won’t be our last! I really appreciate all of the photos that Jessica sends - this greatly alleviates any stress of leaving our fur baby. You can tell that Jessica takes care to make a comfortable environment for the pets she watches and ensures they get plenty of exercise and love.”
“We had a great experience leaving our Aussidoodle, Willie, with Cynthia and her sweet lab, Luna. I received numerous pictures and was happy to know Willie had a very large, fenced in yard for roaming and exercise. Cynthia treated Willie like her own and gave positive feedback about his stay. I won't hesitate to request Cynthia for future boarding.”
“This was my first time needing a sitter and I was pretty nervous about it. I've never had to leave my sweet boy anywhere other than the vet for a day. Carol was very accommodating. She allowed me to see where he would be, answered any questions I had and sent pictures to me to assure me he was ok. I was grateful for that. That helped ease my mind. I would definitely use her again if it should become necessary again. She's awesome!!”
“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”
About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.
“Nila had a wonderful time with Mrs. Amber and her family. Mrs. Amber consistently kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Mrs. Amber to watch your pups!”
“Simone was great with our pup! This was the longest we've ever left him so I was a little worried about how he'd react. She made him comfortable and he always seemed happy if every picture/video. She was always responsive, sent updates to ease my mind, and provided a safe and clean place for our furry family member. We will definitely book with Simone again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”

“Quenna is a very responsible pet sitter! She showed up early and was always fast to respond my texts. She was the first person I used on this app after a few people agreed and then cancelled on me. But Quenna didn't disappoint. Plus her main job is at the animal shelter. So she is the best care taker! I highly recommend Quenna as your pet sitter!”
About: I've watched pets for friends and family since I was a teenager. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and will love them like they are my own. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am currently a stay at home spouse and looking for ways to make extra income doing something I love. I am extremely flexible with my schedule and will make the time to make things work. I have a cat that is not friendly with other cats(not sure about dogs), so can only take requests for drop-in or walking for the time being. I have walked and pet sat for several clients with bigger dogs and that have special needs and am comfortable with them all. I do always try and do a meet and greet before our first visit so your pet can get to know me before they are left alone with me.
About: I've taken care of senior dogs and up to 4 dogs at a time. I am available to stay overnight if needed and don't have a preference for any breed of pets.

I have a fenced in yard and love to take pets on walks throughout town and playing with the pets as well to keep them company.
“This was our second time requesting Rebecca to watch our kitties and she was even more amazing this time (which I didn’t think was even possible)! She is so thoughtful and caring! She pays attention to the little details and treats our cats as though they were her own! We definitely have a favorite Rovwe sitter now!”
About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.
About: I have cared for a wide variety of pets from slippery and slimy to cuddly and soft. I currently work with a diverse group of animals every day as the education coordinator at Treehouse Wildlife Center. I Have pet sat for friends and neighbors since I was 12 and love the opportunity to make new animal acquaintances. I understand not all animals are perfect and can have varying levels of temperament and care. I am ready for anything, as I understand all pets deserve the best love and care regardless. Work full time 7-5 available weekends and evenings primarily but can make exceptions due to flexibility in my current position. Let me know if you have any questions. I have two dogs, a parrot, a hedgehog, and a few aquariums. I know my pets are cared for by the people I live with like they are their own, whenever I am gone. I plan to do the same as a sitter as I know how it can feel to be unsure to leave your pets while your away. Unfortunately we can’t always take our fuzzy friends where ever we go, no matter how much we love them.

“We love taking Belle to Melissa. We feel she is safe with her and her family. I’m so happy I found Melissa and Belle has a great relationship.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in the house hold as far back as I could remember! I have a genuine love for animals in general but especially our canine friends. I have served in law enforcement for nearly a decade and with that said safety, security and transparency are top of my list of priorities. I have worked closely with dogs my entire life and have trained several dogs to learn simple and more advanced commands which improves the overall behavior and wellbeing of any dog. My schedule is extremely flexible and all it takes is an open line of communication and most scheduling need can be met to fit the owners requests. Its important for me that a clients pet is treated like my own. I believe it takes integrity to car for someone’s dog and because they can not speak for themselves it worries pet owners that their dog may be mistreated when being cared for by another person. Rest assured I would make it my mission to treat your dog as if he/she were my own. My home is located on nearly 2 acres grassy open fields, with over 4000 sq ft of that space being fenced in for plenty of outdoor activities.
“WOW! August is a natural dog whisperer. When I picked my puppy Penny up it was clear she had played all day as she was calm and extremely well behaved! I really appreciated all the amazing pictures that August sent me of my pup- he played with her extensively and even gave her special treats!! It is very clear that August has a strong compassion for animals and truly loves taking care of them. I hope my pup can stay with August often as I feel very fortunate to have him watching Penny- I really can't say enough good things about him! :)”

My pets are truly my babies, and my friends lovingly call me “extra” when it comes to how much I dote on them. I even tried to save a baby mouse once, I really do care about every animal I meet! I work in education, which means I have summers, holidays, and Christmas breaks off. I rarely travel because I prefer to stay home with my fur children, so I’m usually available year-round.

About: As a passionate dog lover, I’ve been providing dog sitting services for 20 years, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! Throughout my journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of breeds, from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Each dog has its own unique personality, and I’ve loved tailoring my care to meet their individual needs—whether it’s extra playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I’ve developed strong routines that include regular feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation through games and training. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels loved and happy while you’re away! I also understand how important communication is. I provide daily updates and photos so you can see just how much fun your pup is having. Many of my clients have commented on how relieved they feel knowing their dogs are in capable hands. Being a dog sitter isn’t just a job for me; it’s a chance to build lasting relationships with amazing pups and their owners. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the love and attention they deserve! I work from home, so your fur baby can go out frequently and get extra cuddles during the day! This is especially beneficial for puppies and older dogs. My large backyard, complete with a secure 4-foot fence, is the perfect playground for dogs to run, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors—especially on sunny days! At night, your furry friend will feel right at home. I provide a variety of cozy sleeping options, including crates, comfortable beds, and even couches for those who love to snuggle up. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment, so your pup will have a restful night’s sleep after a day full of fun.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—at least five of my own since childhood! I’ve learned how to understand their personalities and needs, and even trained my current dog to be calm and social. My home is cozy, welcoming, and set up for a dog’s comfort and routine. I provide the same love, structure, and attention to every pup I watch, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I love starting the day with a morning walk and taking another in the evening to wind down. I’m also available on weekends with at least a week’s notice—perfect for when you need a reliable sitter for your pup. In my home, dogs are treated like family. I have a friendly pup who loves making new friends and keeping other dogs company. There’s a cozy space where pets can relax, nap, or be crated if they need their own quiet time. My fenced yard gives them plenty of room for potty breaks and playtime in a safe environment. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow their normal routines to help them feel secure and loved while you’re away. Whether at your place or mine, I focus on creating a peaceful, happy experience for every pup.

About: I’ve been caring for my family’s dogs since I was young and currently have two small dogs of my own. Over the years, I’ve also looked after pets for friends, family members, and neighbors. Recently, I’ve expanded my experience to include caring for cats as well. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I recently left my job to pursue nursing. I’m doing a one year accelerated program starting in January. I will mainly be at school on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I have two small dogs at home. I do not crate them, but I do have experience with that! We do not have a fenced in yard so I take my dogs on a leash!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young — I grew up in a family full of dogs and developed a love for caring for animals early on. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience dog sitting pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as cats and even chickens! For the past year, I’ve also worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs. This experience has made me confident in reading animal behavior, creating a calm environment, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which gives me daytime availability to care for pets, provide walks, drop-in visits, and spend quality time with them throughout the week. I’m hoping to dedicate most weekdays to pet care and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, patience, and reliable care while their owners are away. At this time, I’m generally unavailable on weekends due to family obligations, but during the week I’m flexible and committed to providing dependable, loving care for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it my priority to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, attention, and plenty of love and companionship. For dog walks, I make sure each dog gets safe, attentive exercise based on their energy level and needs. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Rachel great! We really appreciate her willingness to regularly walk two dogs, both of which need to learn a bit more leash etiquette. We highly recommend Rachel for your pet care needs!”

About: Hi! My name is Nikki and I’ve lived with dogs and cats since I was a toddler. I always loved helping my parents and grandma with our many pets while growing up, but it wasn’t until I graduated high school that I decided to start expanding to pet-sitting for my friends as well! I was always happy to spend time with and gain knowledge from their furry friends. Two years after high school, I adopted a sweet husky puppy. He was just 8 weeks old when I took him home and I quickly realized raising a puppy is A LOT of work (but worth it!!). After a long journey of trial and error and 4 training classes together, he’s the best friend I could ask for. Three years later my dad rescued 3 more husky puppies, who I also helped raise! They have definitely taught me patience, how to deal with a semi-reactive dogs, and has made me confident in my ability to care for large breeds. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, big and small, timid and reactive. I’m experienced in handling high energy dogs, young puppies who are still learning, and older dogs who need extra care and patience. I’ve also looked after cats, including those that needed help with medications and asthma treatment. Whether your pets like to walk and play or just need someone to hangout with while you’re gone, I can do it all. I will care for your beloved pets in your home and follow all your wants and needs! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m currently available any time Wednesday-Friday and on most Saturdays. I like to know all the details about your pets every day life so I can help keep their routines as normal as possible. Whether that includes certain times for feeding, walking, medications, etc. I also like to know if they are reactive, timid, or have any other quirks you want me to know about!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was about 7 years old (dogs and cats). I have a German shepherd who can be be stubborn, but it has taught me how to deal with animals like her and to have patience. I am currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule, so my availability will be quite convenient for those who are needing dedicated care takers. If staying over night, you will not have to worry about your pets being bored. I am very passionate about making sure the animals get some active, play time.
About: I attended veterinary schooling in the last. I didn't finish however because I found my love for dog grooming. I own my own dog grooming business and I have been grooming for 10 years now. I also watch some clients dogs in my home on the side. I have owned dogs my whole life and they are a passion of mine. I am able to groom your pet while taking care of them so it's one less thing you have to do! I can administer medications as well. I used to work at PetSmart in the past in the pet care department so I am familiar with caring for other animals such as fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, and some exotics. Please let me know if you have any additional questions! I currently stay home with my kids so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I am typically available all the time unless we have a vacation scheduled. I try to update my calendar on here as much as possible! I have 3 dogs of my own to keep your pups company and entertained! I am available for walks, drop in visits, and feedings. One of my dogs is a runner so I'm very familiar with being cautious with dogs who are curious and like to let their nose get the best of them!
About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.
“Rebecca was wonderful. She was prompt, worked with my dog on not marking every mailbox in our neighborhood and always gave him a great work out during the walks. She was prompt, communicative, trustworthy and I will be using her services for my dog in the future!”
About: I’ve been in a house of 3 or more pets my entire life. I’ve cared for puppies as well as senior doggos. I worked at an emergency animal hospital for about 1.5 years, and am currently in school to become a certified veterinary technician, with the goal of eventually attending veterinary school to become a licensed DVM. I am currently in-between jobs, but actively in school through Penn foster so I have a relatively open a flexible schedule with proper notification ahead of time! I currently take lewie on walks fo outdoor enrichment ant local parks or we play fetch in the house! We do monitored potty breaks in the back yard. Sadly I will not be able to bring your pet to my home as I have a very reserved shy little guy here who isn’t too kind to others and doesn’t adjust well, but I will be glad to care for your fur baby at your home!

“Our pup had the best time with Christina! She has the perfect house for a doggie retreat- lots of toys, great yard, other doggies to play with, and a lot of attention. She did a great job of sending daily pictures. You can tell that she loves her dogs and did everything she could to make sure our pup had a great week. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our 1st time using Rover and was a little nervous leaving my baby with someone i didnt know. My pup had a wonderful time, received updates and photos which helped keep my mind at ease. She was well taken care of and got to hav a vacation with other pups while we were gone. Will definitely recommend Shannon and will use her again in the future. Thank u again”
“Great stay! Both dogs had a blast and you could tell they were all tired out from running around. Sarah was even able to help my Cassie with her injured tail and medicine, no problem. I would definitely book again.”
“Matthew was wonderful with Kash he made us feel really comfortable leaving him. Updates were awesome many pictures and detailed text. Kash was such a happy camper. Will we use Matthew again? Most definitely without a doubt. Matthew is exceptional.”
“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”

“Another excellent stay for Bella with Jessica! This is our 2nd stay with her, but it won’t be our last! I really appreciate all of the photos that Jessica sends - this greatly alleviates any stress of leaving our fur baby. You can tell that Jessica takes care to make a comfortable environment for the pets she watches and ensures they get plenty of exercise and love.”
“We had a great experience leaving our Aussidoodle, Willie, with Cynthia and her sweet lab, Luna. I received numerous pictures and was happy to know Willie had a very large, fenced in yard for roaming and exercise. Cynthia treated Willie like her own and gave positive feedback about his stay. I won't hesitate to request Cynthia for future boarding.”
About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

She was always responsive, sent updates to ease my mind, and provided a safe and clean place for our furry family member. We will definitely book with Simone again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“Stephanie took care of our sassy little maltese like her own! She gave alot of updates and sent pictures/videos. It's our first time booking through rover and we will definitely book her again for our next trip. Thanks, Stephanie!”
