Meredith was so great at keeping me informed and sending pictures of my pup while we were away on our trip. She seems to really know a lot about dogs and I love the fact that she has veterinary tech experience and dog training certification! My pup was very happy there and I will certainly use Meredith again!

Danielle and her family were absolutely incredible with my dog, Pretzel! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was going to be fully embraced as part of their family. She provided timely updates, photos, and messages that truly put my mind at ease — and honestly made me miss my boy even more in the sweetest way. Pretzel was active, engaged, and showered with cuddles — exactly the kind of love and attention he receives at home. It genuinely felt like while I was on vacation, he was on one too! The level of care Danielle and her family provided was exceptional. When I brought Pretzel home, I could even tell he felt the “void” of leaving them — which speaks volumes about how loved and comfortable he was in their care. I am beyond grateful and already looking forward to my next trip knowing Pretzel will be in such amazing hands. Highly, highly recommend! 🐶✨

I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

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.

Sumer was perfect! This is my first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive leaving my baby with someone I did not know. From the very first message, I felt more and more comfortable. When the time came to drop Raven off, I saw how she reacted to Sumer and I was immediately at ease. I trust dogs’ reactions to people. Her spirit is so welcoming and I knew my baby was in good hands. I received multiple updates and pics throughout the stay. I love that she was allowed on furniture and able to be cuddles like she is at home. She looked happy in every pic and it made me feel so much better while I was away. 10/10! Raven will be back :-) Thank you!

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 had pets consistently since i was 5 years old. I’ve had four cats and one dog, and currently have one cat and one dog. I have pet sit for family friends and people from my church since i was 13. Animals have always been a big part of my life and i love meeting new furry friends. I’m experienced with cleaning up after them, standard bathing and brushing, and taking them out on walks. I am currently working a full time job, but i have lots of time every friday and sunday to take care of pets. I am able to drop in for visits or walks after 5:30 every other monday and every other wednesday. Along with that, saturdays after 2:30 are also very open. At home, we keep our dog in her crate at night and when out of the house, so i’m comfortable with crate schedules, if that fits your pet’s needs. We have a cable outside for our dog, and many leashes for our walks.

I would treat your pet the same way I treat mine, with love, care, and attention they need and deserve. We have a fenced yard, neighborhood sidewalks, and nearby walking. I'm super active and into health and fitness. I do crossfit during the week. "A dog is this only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself" I’m currently a stay at home mom to an 2yo, 8yo, and a 6mo puppy. I’ve grew up with dogs in my household. My schedule is pretty much open from 10am- 5pm. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is trained to be out of the cage while I’m gone. I am more then happy to crate your fur baby while I leave my house to do daily errands.

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 grew into loving the difficult dogs, training lots of different sports and dog behavior. I love seniors/special needs who just need some TLC. Puppies are my absolute favorite. 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. My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it. I have 3 custom built in crates that are massively oversized. I can keep dogs separate from my own or integrate. I absolutely love working with puppies and dogs and exposing them to new fun things!

About: I’ve always lived with animals and loved them, but have worked at 2 animal shelters and 2 doggy daycares. I truly enjoy being with animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m very reliable and will accommodate whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable. Since I know pet CPR and pet first aid I know the steps to take in case of an emergency. Your baby will always be in safe hands when I’m looking after them! I’m home full time and have four dogs myself, cats, as well as a 8 year old daughter and 2 year old son so pet care and child care is a full time staple in my home anyways. I’m never away from home long unless I’m going to run errands. I have four friendly dogs of varying ages, so I’m very experienced caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I always follow any routines and rules you set for your pet, including potty breaks whenever they need them. Safety is very important to me, and when it’s time to come inside, I make sure the environment is free of anything your pet could get into or accidentally choke on.

About: I’ve raised/trained my rescue pup Bear on my own from when he was 13 weeks old and now he is 6. And I’ve been around animals my whole life. I recently did I private group animal training session with Cesar Millan at his Dog Psychology Center. I also have volunteered at Wild Bird Rehab many times. Both Bear and I love having more pet company in the home. I’ve always had a deep love for animals - I’m so excited to meet your pet(s) and get to know their fun personalities and quirks! 💙 I work full-time from home. Meaning I will always be home with and monitoring your pet(s) during my work day. I take my dog on walks every morning and evening at Longview or Queeny. I have a very clean, safe, and peaceful apartment with a nice big deck - that my dog loves to sunbathe or people-watch on throughout the day. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard but there is a small fenced in dog park in my neighborhood that is rarely used by other dogs. I take my high-energy dog on two long walks a day (morning and night) with potty breaks around the neighborhood in between, so lots of walks are already a part of our daily routine. My dog is very gentle and submissive. Your fur baby will feel right at home with us!

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!

About: I am back on Rover after taking a long break when a dear friend needed housing with her 3 dogs for an extended period. I have owned dogs for over 40 years. After losing my 16 yr old Aussie several years ago, I started watching friend's dogs to help my survivor pup adjust to the loss. My clients at Rover have been an absolute blessing for my own pets. Each weather permitting day includes 2 walks and lots of supervision and unlimited indoor/outdoor playtime at home. I provide very frequent outdoor breaks and a roomy backyard with a locked fence with security cameras that is perfect for active dogs to run. I am home all day. I have a huge soft spot and enormous patience for all animals, and will treat your family member with all the love that I have for my own. I text photo updates or snapchats to help you feel confident about how your pet is doing. I also honor your feeding schedule and will work with your pups needs to keep them (and you) as comfortable as possible while you are away. I offer overnight supervision or day care, a cage-free environment (if desired), care for elderly dogs, or dogs who require oral medication. *** In most cases, I limit myself to 2 overnight guest dogs (or 3 if from the same family), so that your pups get lots of focused attention and to reduce the amount of 'new stuff' that they would need to navigate during your absence. *** Last minute bookings are usually no problem as long as we can squeeze in a meet and greet. If I can help insure your peace of mind when you need to be away from your pet, please contact me with any questions that you may have! There is no obligation to inquire. I would be happy to help, and look forward to meeting you and four-legged family member! Karen I will have eyes on your pet all day long. I work from home and can address any pet needs immediately. They will not be left alone for more than the time it takes to run to the supermarket, and usually that is not necessary because I prepare for that in advance. I run every day and can take your pet with me if that is within their physical abilities, with your permission, of course. I watch dogs in my home only, but do send frequent updates to be sure that you are informed about how they are doing. I have a doubly locked fenced yard with security cameras.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life, so your furry friends will be in very experienced hands. I find genuine joy in being around animals and truly love the bond that comes with pet sitting. Since I believe staying active is essential for a happy pet, I especially enjoy taking dogs on long walks. It’s a great way for them to burn off energy and explore, providing a mutual benefit of exercise and fresh air for both myself and your pup! Lifelong Experience: Hands-on care with a variety of animals since childhood. Large Animal Familiarity: Comfortable and capable with both large and small dogs Active Care Style: Dedicated to ensuring your pet gets the movement and stimulation they need. I’m currently a full time college student and attend classes two days a week. This allows me to have an open and consistent schedule to care for the needs of clients! Growing up, I participated in dog obedience training with my county’s 4-H program. This experience allows me to promote a safe and nurturing environment while allowing the dog to have a positive experience.

I’m highly organized, caring, loving and athletic! I love the outdoors and being active so walking, running, or jogging with your dog wouldn’t be a problem! I also wouldn’t mind bringing the dog with for car rides being able to take it too different conservations and atmospheres for walks!

About: Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me! My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member). If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with 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: I have taken care of my own pets (Dogs, cats and even bunnies) sense I was 6. I started watching friends and families pets at just 10. I am a huge animal lover and have never met a dog I couldn’t win over ❤️ I have a bunny named Ella who has just turned 4. She is honestly sometimes the reason i wake up in the morning. Her basic needs are similar to that of a dog and a cat. I believe than an animal is an equal member of the family. They are the babies that comfort and bring smiles to the family. That being said if they want attention, they will get as much attention as they want when I am around. I am all about routines when it comes to food and treats however, I also think it is important to switch things up now and than (such as a walking route) to make the day exciting for them.

About: I live in an apartment and am unable to keep a pet due to the lease conditions. This has left me with a hole in my heart for connection with pets. I would adore the opportunity to spend time with your pet and care for them. Growing up, we had a yellow Labrador Retriever named Sandy who I felt was the best dog we could possibly have asked for. I trained her, taught her tricks, and played with her almost constantly. In more recent years, I took care of Daisy who was a medium sized mixed breed with spunk. She belonged to an ex-partner and I cared for her as if she was my own. She needed lots of stimulation and outlet for energy as well; we had multiple walks a day and it was fun to see her solving playful challenges I made. I grew up around rabbits that I adored, and even dressed them up in my doll’s clothes! My sister and I later raised rabbits for several years. We brought them everywhere we could and had special harnesses and leashes to walk them around the neighborhood or pet store, etc. They also liked to run around our backyard with our dog. I am comfortable around cats, hairless or not! I allow them to approach me, rather than crowd their space. When they want to, I love cuddling with cats and feeling them purr. I have usually cared for multiple cats at once. Although I have never lived with a cat, I am confident in caring for them and interacting with them. My roommate has six ferrets and they each hold a little piece of my heart. I give them medication when she is stuck at work late, and let them out to play. They are such curious and playful little creatures! Staying late at the office? Let me stop by to feed, pet, play with, and exercise your pet. No time in the early mornings or during lunch? Let me take the time you wish you had to care for them. While my own home is not pet friendly, I am happy to visit yours. If your pet has a routine and schedule they are on, I want to keep that seamlessly running for you. If your pet is adventurous, I want to keep them engaged.

I personally own a Doberman named Diesel who is the sweetest thing, I’m able to drop her off at my parents when I’m needed for in home house sitting over night in your home. Well mannered dogs are welcome in my home as well for boarding and doggie daycare with my boy Diesel. I am currently working as a veterinary technician on Thursdays. I can usually give plenty of breaks if needed the rest of the week as I am off. Safety is my main priority when watching your pet in your home. I look forward to giving your pet the best experience possible when you are away, which may include walking on a leash, letting them out in a fenced in yard or dropping off for play time at day care.

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have been a dog owner for most of my life. I also have had fish, a bearded dragon, a hairless rat, and a hamster! I also walked dogs for about a year at an animal shelter. I will treat your dog as if it was my own and hopefully become their new best friend! I am currently working part time during the weekdays and I am going to school fully online. I have time throughout my day for any drop ins or walks. My weekends are more available, I have a lot more time for check ins or for dog sitting! I am not able to take pets to my home, I have a Great Dane who is a little anxious and scared of new dogs (silly right!? The giant dog scared of other dogs haha). At your home I will make sure that they have everything they need, they will get some exercise, and maybe play with some toys)

Meredith was so great at keeping me informed and sending pictures of my pup while we were away on our trip. She seems to really know a lot about dogs and I love the fact that she has veterinary tech experience and dog training certification! My pup was very happy there and I will certainly use Meredith again!

Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

I received daily updates with photos, videos and notes of their daily adventures. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! She is so kind and loving to our dogs.

Sumer was perfect! This is my first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive leaving my baby with someone I did not know. From the very first message, I felt more and more comfortable. When the time came to drop Raven off, I saw how she reacted to Sumer and I was immediately at ease. I trust dogs’ reactions to people. Her spirit is so welcoming and I knew my baby was in good hands. I received multiple updates and pics throughout the stay. I love that she was allowed on furniture and able to be cuddles like she is at home. She looked happy in every pic and it made me feel so much better while I was away. 10/10! Raven will be back :-) Thank you!

This was Medea's second time staying with Derek, and she clearly had just as good a time as the first! She came home extremely tired and content, so I know she played a lot. Derek always sends prompt and detailed updates, so I know she's in good hands when we send her there.
