“We couldn’t be more pleased, and we feel relieved and grateful to have found Stella and her family. We love receiving her photos and updates, and the pickup and drop off process is seamless.”
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“Jill and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and treated him as their own. They were attentive to his needs as a senior dog, including giving oral medicine. I could tell he was well brushed and cared for when I picked him up. Her large yard was perfect for him. Jill had clearly gotten attached to him. She was always very responsive whenever I texted. I would book with Jill again.”

“Angela is a phenomenal pet sitter! I left Kirby in her care for two weeks while I traveled for my wedding and honeymoon and never once did I feel worried about Kirby not being loved on or well cared for. Angela sent tons of pictures of her and her family snuggling with him, playing with him, walking him, and more! I was completely at ease and will absolutely use her again should I have a need for pet care. She is truly exceptional!”

“Our Teddy had a great time with Jacob and his dog Murphy! It was our first time to board our dog and I was very worried being gone for a long time and hike it would affect him. Jacob is very experienced and took good care of Teddy and sent pics and videos. I could enjoy our vacation knowing he was being well cared for, safe, and getting stimulation. He came home unphased by our absence and in good spirits. I would recommend Jacob!!”

“Rachel was so amazing to our pup Ryder! She sent us great updates and gave us peace of mind that our boy was left in good hands. He was so loved and spoiled. We will definitely be using Rachel again in the future!”
“Deanne kept all three of our dogs when we were out of town for four days. She kept us informed how they were doing and sent pictures so we could see them and they had all settled in well with her crew. So glad we found her in Rover!”
“Elizabeth was incredibly patient with my shy girl. When Mabel refused to eat for the first few days, she sat with her and mixed boiled chicken into the kibble. Elizabeth is a great dog boarder and her fenced in yard is a huge added bonus on top of her kindness and love for animals.”
“Carla and her family were outstanding! She sent me regular updates and videos to show me how she was doing. Carla and her family made my kitty feel happy and safe. I would most definitely use her services again!!”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“Dickson is a very caring dog sitter. He did everything he could to make my bulldog feel comfortable and have fun. He gives video and picture updates of their adventures. I would absolutely have him watch my dog again!”
About: I am the definition of an animal lover, which I attribute to having had animals around my entire life. I grew up with Australian shepherds, German shepherds, cats, hamsters, and even tarantulas! I am extremely comfortable walking dogs, giving them medication via food, and managing when to let them out to go to the bathroom. I’m also willing to give a big furry dog a good brush if they need it! I have lived primarily with big dogs, but have had close relationships with small dogs through friends and my husband’s family whom I have dog sat for in the past. In addition, I am a massive cat lover. I was given a kitten when I was 8 years old and had her for 19 years until she just recently passed. In her senior years, she had both hypothyroidism and asthma so I am well-versed in giving cats inhalers and medication in various forms (via dropper, ear application, in treats, and in food). I am a dependable dog and cat sitter/caretaker because I know how much your animal means to you. I’m an extremely organized person so you can count on me to be reliable with pick-up, drop-off, and everything in between. Taking care of your animal would not be a job to me because I am so happy to do it! I work twice a week so I could watch an animal full time during three weekdays in addition to weekends. I am still more than willing to watch animal for an entire week and either modify my work schedule to be with them more, or just make sure they are set up for the days I am in office. I have a non-smoking home with one cat and two people including myself. My home would be an extremely relaxing environment for a pet and due to my flexible schedule, I can dedicate nearly full-time care to an animal. Since I have a cat, I would only really be able to have dogs stay overnight for a couple-day stint since I'd prefer to keep them separate. In my client's home I would offer the same care in addition to respecting the environment. I'm naturally a very clean person and always pick up after myself.

“Our feline princess is in her later years (19), and we are happy to spoil her in every way possible. We are thrilled to have found someone who looks after her with the same care as we do. Hope always arrives as arranged and takes the utmost care in looking after feeding and box cleaning as needed during her drop-in visits. We could not have dreamed for a better care-taker than Hope!”
“Declan is an extremely friendly and reliable sitter! He's great with our new kittens and has been very gracious working with us on short notice with our relatively erratic schedule. Would recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Linnea took care of our 3 fur baby cats for 11 days while we were away on vacation. I had never left the 3 of them alone together and I was quite anxious about it. Linnea did the most fantastic job, and with all of the pictures and written synopsis of how the visit went my mind was at ease. I can tell the cats really took to her and when my boy Buddy had some issues she kept me updated and went above and beyond what was expected. Thank you Linnea the cats hope to see you again the next time we go away.”
About: I lived with two cats for two years, mastering the art of meals, clean litter boxes, and top‑tier cuddle sessions. I also cat‑sit my brother’s cat often, at his place as well as my own, so I’m used to adapting to different routines and making sure every kitty feels safe, cozy, and adored.
“Alexandra was great with both of my cats. She was very caring, she was on time and she spent quality time with them both. I felt she went above and beyond of what I expected from a sitter. When I got home, my cats seemed very happy. The photos she sent me were great! I know my cats loved her!”
About: My passion is taking care of animals. I've always had animals in my house growing up and currently still have a house full. I understand each animal has their own identity and quirks. I currently have a wide range of animals from 2 cats and a dog to multiple reptiles! I have an extremely flexible schedule which will allow me to be there to help with any pet care need that may arise through our the day or week. I will follow any direction of home care for you pet while you are away. I only want to keep your pet as stress free as possible.
About: I’ve worked with the kittens, cats, and elderly felines of family and friends for many years. I’m familiar with best play methods, how to carry cats properly, and administering medication if needed. Both long hair and short hair breeds do well in my care.
“Haley and Alex were wonderful! They did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. They were on time, had great communication with us and we received photo updates daily!”
“Emily visited daily and fed the cats as per instructions. She gave them attention and sent photos. She went above and beyond with the litter boxes and other minor chores. I would book her again.”
“Chris is very passionate about animals. He was very attentive to our cat and sent lots of pictures to let us know how she was doing. We highly recommend Chris to watch your fur baby.”
About: I have been working in the pet industy for 10 years and I am pet CPR certified. I have taken care care of pups of all ages, all different kinds of animals, and have had many pets of my own. I currently work at a restaurant so may be gone here and there. My pups are home for you friend to have some company while I'm gone! I do not have a fenced in yard, but can leash walk anywhere. Pets can free roam inside my house, otherwise I can care for pets in their own space.
“I was really nervous leaving my 9 month month old kitty and 18 year old cat at home for 5 days while i was gone, but Rachel was such a wonderful sitter, and provided me with wonderful photos and thoughtful, detailed updates while i was gone that really put my mind at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Rachel really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of, played with and happy. She even brought a few toys and treats for them to play with! And my 18 year old cat needed a topical medicine in her ear each day, which Rachel applied to her no problem… meaning my cat really trusts her. I almost think my cats were a little disappointed to see me instead of Rachel opening the door when i got home yesterday haha! Thanks so much Rachel - we will absolutely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!! I highly recommend her :)”
About: Love to have a furry companion on my walks and give them some time outside, I’ve had dogs my whole life big and small and always enjoy walking them. Me and my husband are working part time, and we love dogs, so we have plenty of free days to spend and take nice walks with your pup! Our house has a fenced in yard and we also have a few gates so the dogs can’t get to any places they shouldn’t be.
“Abby is wonderful! I have several cats and she took care of all of them while I was out of town. She was in touch with me and sent pictures. I will definitely have her come back to help me when I’m out of town.”
“If you want someone that is going to love on your pup as if they are your own, then Haylee is absolutely the sitter for you. My dog is intense and intimidating when first meeting new people. Haylee took it all in stride, confidently handling his barking and giving him exactly what he needed to let his guard down. She spent as much time as he needed at the check-ins. I cannot recommend Haylee enough! She gives me peace of mind knowing that my pup is incredibly well cared for, whether I'm gone for an extra long work day or a multi-day trip.”

“Tom looked after my little pup snooper for a few hours and snooper was calm and happy when I picked him up. I appreciate how prepared they are.. it really conveys another level of care for our pups. We have been there a couple times when in town, and I appreciated their flexibility because I didn’t know how long I would be away. Definitely recommend. Thanks Tom (and debbie)”

About: My husband I both grew up with golden retrievers and have a soft spot for them. When I was first out on my own and bought my first home, I rescued a pit bull and she was with me until she passed. My husband, sons and I are all dog lovers and would love to welcome your dog into our home. My husband is home full time and I work from home and we are anxious to care for your pet! We have 2 sons - ages 6 and 10, so kid-friendly dogs are a must. We are available any day of the week at any time, unless we have something specific planned (which is not often). Please feel free to ask about specific dates and times and I will be sure to add you to my calendar! My husband is home full time and I work from home so we have ample amounts of time to care for your pet. My 2 sons LOVE dogs and love to play and take dogs on walks. Our yard is unfenced, per our HOA rules so your pet will always be on a leash for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. Pets are free to explore the entire home and will not be crated or gated, unless a crate is provided and requested.
“Rusty has a wonderful, gentle way with dogs. Mine is an anxious, large 8 month old puppy. She warmed up to him right away and ran around in the large gated backyard, along with going to walks. I will definitely book with Rusty again and recommend him to everyone.”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was 13, developing a deep understanding of their needs and well-being. As a nurse, I bring the same level of dedication and attentiveness to my dog-sitting services, ensuring each pet receives the care and comfort they deserve. At home, I have a 4-year-old miniature schnauzer and a playful 2-year-old toddler, so I understand the importance of a safe and loving environment. Whether your dog needs companionship, exercise, or special attention, I provide reliable, compassionate care you can trust. Working from home allows me the flexibility to tailor my schedule to meet each dog’s needs. Whether your pet requires frequent walks, structured outdoor time, or a specific routine, I am available to provide the care and attention they need. I understand that every dog has different energy levels and habits, so I am happy to accommodate owner requests to ensure their pets feel comfortable, active, and well-cared for throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced backyard, I prioritize safety by always keeping dogs leashed during outdoor time. Whether going for a walk or spending time outside, I follow all necessary safety measures to ensure each pet’s well-being. I understand the importance of secure handling and will always adhere to owner preferences and best practices to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care.

My home currently has three medium sized dogs and two turtles... With plenty of room for your babies ;) I am currently working part time. About 3 hours 2-3 times a week, so most of my time is spent at home with my animals. I have a fully fenced yard and a pool with an automatic cover. My youngest dog sleeps in a kennel and my two older sleep in bedrooms with us. I am more than willing to kennel my dogs while I am not home for your pet's comfort.

My car is very safe and I will put them in the backseat. If there are special requirements, please let me know.
About: Ive always grew up with dogs and cats. When they're around me they must get spoiled I cannot resist! I have a separate room that any animal is more than welcome to stay in incase they prefer being alone vs getting along with other animals. Dogs i can take anytime and Cats are more then welcome to stay for days as there is a separate room if needed, a spare litter box and plenty of extra cat food bowls! If given the opportunity to take care of your baby, I would treat it as my own! Spoil it and be sure to make sure it has everything it needs and make it feel at home even when it is not at its usual home!

She is the absolute best if you are looking for a deeply kind and gentle soul to create a safe place for your little one. Yay Elisa! ( and her sweet dog Fiona)”
“Thanit and her family did a fantastic job caring for our puppy Boots. We dropped her off for daycare on two consecutive days and Boots was sad to leave both days.

We highly recommend Thanit and will definitely rebook if we need daycare in the future. So pleased with our experience!”

“Gyula walks my two Labs regularly, and I highly recommend him for your dog's needs.

“Bill has been a godsend with walking our girl! We, the doggie parents, both work almost an hour away and can’t get home to walk her. He’s been so awesome and informative. Definitely going to keep using his services.”
“We starting using Lori about two weeks ago and she has been great. Chelsea, our dog, loves her. The weather had been rainy windy and cold lately but she is still taking great care of her and it truly puts my mind at ease while working knowing Chelsea is in good reliable hands. ”

“We couldn’t be more pleased, and we feel relieved and grateful to have found Stella and her family. We love receiving her photos and updates, and the pickup and drop off process is seamless.”
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“Jill and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and treated him as their own. They were attentive to his needs as a senior dog, including giving oral medicine. I could tell he was well brushed and cared for when I picked him up. Her large yard was perfect for him. Jill had clearly gotten attached to him. She was always very responsive whenever I texted. I would book with Jill again.”
“This was my first rover experience and it couldn’t have gone smoother . Debbie and Tom are super nice and were communicative throughout the whole process! Nyla was very well taken care of and clearly had a lot of fun during her stay :)”
“Angela is a phenomenal pet sitter! I left Kirby in her care for two weeks while I traveled for my wedding and honeymoon and never once did I feel worried about Kirby not being loved on or well cared for. Angela sent tons of pictures of her and her family snuggling with him, playing with him, walking him, and more! I was completely at ease and will absolutely use her again should I have a need for pet care. She is truly exceptional!”
“Tom and Julie took really great care of Casey. Sending me videos very frequently. They are accommodating and flexible in schedule. Your pup is definitely in good hands with Tom and Julie. They are Highly recommended.”

“Rachel was so amazing to our pup Ryder! She sent us great updates and gave us peace of mind that our boy was left in good hands. He was so loved and spoiled. We will definitely be using Rachel again in the future!”
“Deanne kept all three of our dogs when we were out of town for four days. She kept us informed how they were doing and sent pictures so we could see them and they had all settled in well with her crew. So glad we found her in Rover!”
“Elizabeth was incredibly patient with my shy girl. When Mabel refused to eat for the first few days, she sat with her and mixed boiled chicken into the kibble. Elizabeth is a great dog boarder and her fenced in yard is a huge added bonus on top of her kindness and love for animals.”
“Carla and her family were outstanding! She sent me regular updates and videos to show me how she was doing. Carla and her family made my kitty feel happy and safe. I would most definitely use her services again!!”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“Dickson is a very caring dog sitter. He did everything he could to make my bulldog feel comfortable and have fun. He gives video and picture updates of their adventures. I would absolutely have him watch my dog again!”
About: I am the definition of an animal lover, which I attribute to having had animals around my entire life. I grew up with Australian shepherds, German shepherds, cats, hamsters, and even tarantulas! I am extremely comfortable walking dogs, giving them medication via food, and managing when to let them out to go to the bathroom. I’m also willing to give a big furry dog a good brush if they need it! I have lived primarily with big dogs, but have had close relationships with small dogs through friends and my husband’s family whom I have dog sat for in the past. In addition, I am a massive cat lover. I was given a kitten when I was 8 years old and had her for 19 years until she just recently passed. In her senior years, she had both hypothyroidism and asthma so I am well-versed in giving cats inhalers and medication in various forms (via dropper, ear application, in treats, and in food). I am a dependable dog and cat sitter/caretaker because I know how much your animal means to you. I’m an extremely organized person so you can count on me to be reliable with pick-up, drop-off, and everything in between. Taking care of your animal would not be a job to me because I am so happy to do it! I work twice a week so I could watch an animal full time during three weekdays in addition to weekends. I am still more than willing to watch animal for an entire week and either modify my work schedule to be with them more, or just make sure they are set up for the days I am in office. I have a non-smoking home with one cat and two people including myself. My home would be an extremely relaxing environment for a pet and due to my flexible schedule, I can dedicate nearly full-time care to an animal. Since I have a cat, I would only really be able to have dogs stay overnight for a couple-day stint since I'd prefer to keep them separate. In my client's home I would offer the same care in addition to respecting the environment. I'm naturally a very clean person and always pick up after myself.
“Tony was great with Archie. He sent photos and videos which I really liked to see. Archie looked like he really enjoyed himself. Would highly recommend Tony. Thanks again for having Archie in your home”
“My pup had tons of fun playing with Kathryns dogs! She gave him lots of love and sent me plenty of cute pictures throughout the day. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Definitely coming back if I ever need a sitter again! There were so great with our furbaby and communicating and sending pictures, she had so much fun I think she was a little sad to leave. 10/10”
