“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Ryan and Jennifer are awesome! They take such good care of our Betsy Boo when we travel, and they provide frequent pictures and updates. Communication is outstanding. We’ve used their services several times, & plan to continue to do so in the future!”
“Nala had a great weekend! She was very kind and caring about her and really wanted to keep Nala as comfortable as possible by keeping her home routine as much as possible. Will book again!”
“Stacie was able to watch my dog on short notice. I was a little nervous leaving my little guy for the first time, but I knew he was in excellent hands. I will absolutely be contacting her the next time I need him watched!”
“We cannot begin to express how thankful we are to have found Christina and Garrett! We've never boarded our hyper, super loving, and anxiety filled pitty before and only ever done drop in visits in our own home. We wanted our girl to be able to socialize and get endless amounts of love while we were away but the anxiety/guilt we felt considering "boarding" weighed heavy on us...that is until we met Christina and Garrett!!! The initial meet and greet was extremely thorough and a control environment. Garrett even sat in the dirt with our princess to give her the love she needed to regulate while being introduced to other members. Their knowledge of training showed throughout this initial meeting. Their communication never lacked and you could see the love she received through the pictures we received daily. Our dog had so much fun, she stayed with them again for Thanksgiving! Absolutely recommend!”
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.
“Erin was so amazing our little one didn't want to come home. Great communication and went above and boyond for us. We look forward to our next trip because we know our little one will be in great hands. Thank you again!”
About: I've raised 6 puppies. I have raised and trained a service dog puppy. Two dogs needed daily injections of insulin. We have a certified German Shepherd guide dog in our family. I am retired and I enjoy walking every day. I am flexible with working with your pets. I don't mind walking in most weather. I do not walk when it's icy however. I have a dog park close to my home. I have a fenced in yard. My husband loves dogs as well. We live close to some great bike trails.
“Cynthia took great care of our dog! She was so kind and easy to communicate with for booking and during our dog’s stay. I felt comfortable leaving our dog and knew he was in good hands. She sent picture and video updates as well. Thank you so much, Cynthia!!”
“Margaret was AMAZING!!! I need someone to watch my Bentley boy last minute and she was the perfect match! Very communicative and sweet. He came home nice and tired lol thanks to her doggy for all the wonderful play time ! I definitely will be rebooking with her! Highly recommend! 💙”
“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!”
“Marieta and her family were wonderful! She did a pre-visit to put us at ease and was so loving to our dog. She regularly sent updates with pictures and was super easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!!”
“This was our first time leaving Addie with a dog sitter rather than boarding in a facility. Addie had an awesome experience. She was well taken care of and made a new friend. Ashley and her family made Addie feel loved and like she was part of their family. We received daily updates too as promised. I highly recommend Ashley and we will definitely board Addie with her again in the future.”
“Book with Tina & Bob! This was our first time using rover for our senior cockapoo. She stayed multiple nights with Tina & Bob and they treated her like their own. Their house was beautiful and Grace had the perfect setup. They took such care to the smallest details and kept us informed. They are genuine, good people that are a hidden gem on this app. They are true animal lovers that will love your dog like family. We can’t wait to go back. Thanks Tina & Bob!!”
“Tami is the best!! I knew when I was leaving my little guy with her that he was in EXCELLENT hands. She was excellent at updating me throughout the time I was gone with pictures and texts. She was incredibly careful and attentive with my little guy and I would absolutely recommend her to anybody needing her services!”

“Ryan and Jennifer were nothing short of amazing! We got lots of cute kitty pictures of our little guy while we were out of state every day! Ryan was excellent at checking his litter boxes, following our medication routine and checking up with us if we had any concerns! Ryan even left us a super adorable picture of our cat for when we came home! Great communication, professional and kind humans, would recommend!”
“Barbora was perfect! She is very sweet and attentive to my 17 year old ckd kitty(Bippy). I was so nervous to leave Bippy but she was in great hands. Barbora made sure her water was clean and full. Followed my cat's peticular feeding instruction. My kitty cat can kind of be a diva if she isn't fed in separate bowls. Barbora understood and fed her accordingly. She kept her litter box clean and replenished with fresh litter. She was patient and kind to my scaredy cat. Through the whole experience I was put at ease that Bippy was well taken care of and I would not hesitate to do this all again. Thank you Barbora for all your help! It is very much appreciated!! You are amazing!”
“Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”
“Catelyn has been awesome with my two elderly kitties every time. I can’t say enough good things about her. I will definitely ask Catelyn to watch them every time. I travel!”
“Jenee did an amazing job taking care of our cats. Our Garfield and Morticia were always excited to see her and get pets. Our cats really enjoyed her company. She even went above and beyond to even feed and water the outside feral cats that like to take up residence on our porch. Next time we go out of town we will definitely be more than happy to have Jenee watch our cats. They will be in good hands.”
About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice. I’ve raised a hand full of litters and pride myself on a loving and fun home for my animals! I can fit almost any Animal within my schedule and around my other small pup! We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.
About: I have owned my own cats since I was 10 years old. I currently have 2 cats of my own as well as have fostered many litters of kittens and even adult cats! I love the big personalities of cats and kittens and would be so happy to keep your fur baby safe for you!
About: have extensive experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have cared for cats from kitten age through adulthood, including feeding, litter box care, playtime, socialization, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I’m patient with shy cats and know that some cats need time and a calm approach before they feel comfortable. I enjoy providing companionship, keeping their routine consistent, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, special routines, and medication needs when requested.
About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
“TeAsia was so sweet and loving toward my cat, Stu! He was well taken care of and comfortable with her 😊 She’s got a great cat-centric room that he adored. She provided lovely updated and pictures while I was out of town. He can’t wait to go back!”
“This is my first time using Rover. Jennifer made it so easy and was amazing. She looked after my kitty and was super responsive. I really appreciate she helped us with our cat due to it being a small job which can be harder to find someone to accommodate. I will definitely be back when we need help for weekend getaways for our pup and cat. Thank you Jennifer!”

I have lots of time to devote to your dog. I can walk them, take them on golf cart rides, or give them time to play in the dog park.
“Dexter recently spent a few days with Christina over the holidays. She takes fantastic care of him -- to include an occasional special treat, a fenced in back yard for sunbathing, and quality time on the couch. Christina provides photos of Dexter's day, some of which are good enough for printing and framing. I have no concerns whatsoever about leaving Dexter with her and will definitely do it again. Thank you Christina!”

They will be treated like my own.

During the weekends, I spend my time playing with my dog, going to the dog park, or cuddling on the couch. If this sounds like something, your dog would enjoy, they would fit right in! I have a partially fenced in backyard with only one side of the yard not being fully fenced. I have a yard steak that can be put in the ground that extends throughout most of the yard so that your dog can feel just as free as if the yard was completely fenced. When my dog is outside, I am either outside with her or watching her from the big windows in my home that face the backyard to always make sure she’s being safe. During the day, the doors are always closed and treats are always put up to avoid any overindulgence or escaping the home when I am unaware.

“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Ryan and Jennifer are awesome! They take such good care of our Betsy Boo when we travel, and they provide frequent pictures and updates. Communication is outstanding. We’ve used their services several times, & plan to continue to do so in the future!”
“Stacie was able to watch my dog on short notice. I was a little nervous leaving my little guy for the first time, but I knew he was in excellent hands. I will absolutely be contacting her the next time I need him watched!”
“We cannot begin to express how thankful we are to have found Christina and Garrett! We've never boarded our hyper, super loving, and anxiety filled pitty before and only ever done drop in visits in our own home. We wanted our girl to be able to socialize and get endless amounts of love while we were away but the anxiety/guilt we felt considering "boarding" weighed heavy on us...that is until we met Christina and Garrett!!! The initial meet and greet was extremely thorough and a control environment. Garrett even sat in the dirt with our princess to give her the love she needed to regulate while being introduced to other members. Their knowledge of training showed throughout this initial meeting. Their communication never lacked and you could see the love she received through the pictures we received daily. Our dog had so much fun, she stayed with them again for Thanksgiving! Absolutely recommend!”
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.
“Erin was so amazing our little one didn't want to come home. Great communication and went above and boyond for us. We look forward to our next trip because we know our little one will be in great hands. Thank you again!”
About: I've raised 6 puppies. I have raised and trained a service dog puppy. Two dogs needed daily injections of insulin. We have a certified German Shepherd guide dog in our family. I am retired and I enjoy walking every day. I am flexible with working with your pets. I don't mind walking in most weather. I do not walk when it's icy however. I have a dog park close to my home. I have a fenced in yard. My husband loves dogs as well. We live close to some great bike trails.
“Cynthia took great care of our dog! She was so kind and easy to communicate with for booking and during our dog’s stay. I felt comfortable leaving our dog and knew he was in good hands. She sent picture and video updates as well. Thank you so much, Cynthia!!”
“Margaret was AMAZING!!! I need someone to watch my Bentley boy last minute and she was the perfect match! Very communicative and sweet. He came home nice and tired lol thanks to her doggy for all the wonderful play time ! I definitely will be rebooking with her! Highly recommend! 💙”
“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!”
“Marieta and her family were wonderful! She did a pre-visit to put us at ease and was so loving to our dog. She regularly sent updates with pictures and was super easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!!”
“This was our first time leaving Addie with a dog sitter rather than boarding in a facility. Addie had an awesome experience. She was well taken care of and made a new friend. Ashley and her family made Addie feel loved and like she was part of their family. We received daily updates too as promised. I highly recommend Ashley and we will definitely board Addie with her again in the future.”
“Tami is the best!! I knew when I was leaving my little guy with her that he was in EXCELLENT hands. She was excellent at updating me throughout the time I was gone with pictures and texts. She was incredibly careful and attentive with my little guy and I would absolutely recommend her to anybody needing her services!”
“On short notice, we were invited to stay with family in the Springfield, Il area, in the midst of a cross county trip with our two small dogs. The only catch was the place we were staying didn't allow dogs. We found Tara on Rover.com and it was a perfect match! She was wonderful with our rescue pups and we were able to relax and visit with family knowing they were safe in her loving home and not stressed out in a kennel somewhere. Thanks to Tara we all ha”
