“Leaving your pet with someone you don’t know is hard but when I first met Jackie I knew she would be a good match for us and our dog Ivy. We loved the videos and pictures and according to her young son we need to bring her back. ?”
“This was our first time our Goldendoodle (80lbs) stayed with her and her dog. They played well and she took great care of him. We appreciate Niratcha sending us daily pictures in the morning and night to see how Kipper was doing. Happy with her and we just rebooked with her. Thank you.”
“All good! Thank you for taking care of Steely, our quirky and a bit anxious boy. He hung out with Danielle and a good-natured golden doodle. Sounds like it was a perfect pairing that calmed him down and brought out his playful side. Thanks for everything, Danielle!”

I’m not concerned with leaving my pup with Penny when I have to be gone this summer. Thank you Penny and Ginger and I will see you again soon!”
“David and Mary were great! They sent me pictures of how my dog Pluto was doing when I dropped him off on an extended stay of 9 days. I could tell that he was loved and had a very comfortable stay with David and Mary. Would definitely book with them again.”
“My multipoo stayed with Eric over the weekend. Eric sent a photo daily and was always quick to respond to questions. My dog returned home healthy and happy. I highly recommend Eric for boarding! Jan”
“Nancy was so sweet to our aging dog. You could tell she really cares about her furry guests. Nancy sent pics and updates-much appreciated. Our dog loved the attention and hanging out with Nancy’s dog and cat.”
“Jeannie was fantastic from beginning to end. Communication before, meetup to introduce our dogs, communication and updates during their stay, and followup afterwards. All excellent. Jeannie and her family were great. I have no doubt that our dogs received the same level of care, attention, and love they get at home. I know the pups will be excited to visit again! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Tosha was an amazing dog sitter! She cared for my dog, Maggie, like her own, giving her so much love and attention. I could tell Maggie was happy and well taken care of when I got her back. Communication was great, and I felt completely at ease knowing Maggie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Tosha to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.

“We can always count on Cynthia to take such good care of our kitty - whether it's for a weekend or much longer trip. She has been a great source of feedback on how we can make our cat less anxious when we are away. Will continue to book her for future engagements!”
“Amy continues to be a delight caring for Birdie with drop-in visits. We feel so confident leaving her in Amy’s hands. She’s flexible, friendly, and respectful of our home, Once again, thank you!”
“Nicole was the best!! It was our first time leaving our cat at home alone and we were so worried about him being lonely. She gave him so much love and care and always went above and beyond with check ins, sending photos and keeping us up to date on his well being. Would 100% use her again, it’s very clear she cares about animals and their people.”
About: I grew up taking care of my 2 collies and helping out with family members pets. I am experienced with managing large breeds and high energy dogs. I am currently on summer break from university, so I have a lot more free time. I am available on weekdays after 11 and weekends I have full availability. Safety is my top priority. I treat every pet as my own, maintaining a calm, clean, and safe environment. Ahead of time, I ask about any triggers your pet may have and make sure we walk in comfortable environments.
“Brianna did great caring for our cat while we were away. She paid great attention to detail and took notes on everything we went over. The cat was fed daily, water was kept clean, litter box(es) scooped, and all areas were kept very clean. In addition to taking great care of the cat, Brianna was willing to also check on our frog and maintain his waterfall and water bowl, which was a great extra bit of help. We received great photos of both the cat and the frog daily. We would absolutely trust her to care for our pets again in the future.”
“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”
About: *PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING* When booking for house sitting, I am unable to do overnight stays, as I do have animals at home that I need to care for. I can do extended hours during the day but will need to go home every 6 hours or so to care for my own animals as well I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I would babysit my neighbors dogs and friends animals when they would go out of town. I have a cattle dog and can handle working breeds and high energy breeds. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have two cats of my own. I have a very high maintenance siamese cat that loves attention and a specific diet, and I have a sweet 8 year old tabby. In my own home we make sure all doors and windows are locked, no food gets left out, nothing toxic to the animals is left in their reach. Anything brought into our house is researched to see if animals are allergic to it or if it is hazardous to them.
“Madi took very good care of Pringle and Cami. Fed them, cleaned up after them and as they got more comfortable with her, enjoyed her visits. I would definitely use her again.”
About: Have had dogs and cats my whole life. True animal lover who will take great care of your pet! I have also watched friends and family's pets while they were away. I am returning to my full-time job in August. I will still be available to walk after school into the early evening and then possibly some Saturday mornings. I will update my calendar. I loved doing this over the summer and I hope to continue on throughout the school year.. My cats are very spoiled and want a lot of attention. They love that I can be with them during the day. When I had dogs, I spent a lot of time walking them and also playing with them in the yard.
“Valerie does a great job once again! She communicates well and is very conscientious. And my cat really likes her! I have such a peace of mind when we travel, knowing she is taking good care of Punkin.”
“Another great visit with Kassandra! The cats love her, she spends time to pet and play with them, in addition she goes above and beyond, vacuuming, cleaning up, taking out the trash, and any special requests. She is responsible and 100% trustworthy. So glad I found her on Rover! As always, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
About: I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies and senior dogs to cats who just want some company (or their space!). I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. Whether it's long walks, giving meds, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat your pets like my own—with care, comfort, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized and make time each day to give pets my full attention, whether it’s for walks, feeding, or just quality time. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I’m used to balancing a consistent schedule. Caring for pets is something I look forward to—it never feels like a chore. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so they feel safe and at ease. I keep their space clean and comfortable, and I’m always mindful of any special needs. I take safety seriously, whether it’s making sure doors are secure or staying alert on walks. I truly care about each pet and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own.
“Megan was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure everything was perfect. It's obvious she genuinely loves animals, and they loved her right back. We came home to happy cats and a well-cared-for home, which means the world to us. I wouldn't hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional sitter. Thank you, Megan, for everything!”
“Doreen was awesome! She took care of our two large cats that require feeding, playing, cuddling and litter box changes while we were away and left the house so clean! She sent photos daily to update us! Would definitely use Doreen again!”

“Jackie is always accommodating to our needs for the dogs and if we are running a little late picking up. She provides pics of the dogs and takes them on walks! I like that she doesn’t take on a lot of dogs at once then Harley and Haven can get a lot of attention!”
“My two huskies were absolutely pooped when we picked them up! They had a great day with Niratcha. Great communication, photos and level of supervision. Would highly recommend and consider again for future doggie daycare/boarding :)”

“I booked last minute and Gavin was wonderfully communicative throughout. Gavin greeted Bella so kindly before daycare, and Bella had a great time with Gavin! I really appreciated his responsiveness and care :)”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I have a male Chihuahua-Terrier mix who stays with me part-time and gets along well with other dogs. I am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, because my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, indoor or outdoor play sessions, or relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll tailor their care to their unique personality and routine. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs and am comfortable administering medication, preparing special diets, and providing extra care and attention. I love having dogs around and would be delighted to welcome your pet into my home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I ask that dogs be friendly around children, adults, and other dogs. Meet and greets—virtual or in person—are required before booking so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work a flexible hybrid schedule, with three days per week at home and my office is close enough to come home midday on office days for walks and all your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious townhome and do not have a fenced yard, but if your dog enjoys leashed walks and outdoor playtime, I have easy access to open outdoor spaces, parks, and nature trails. In my home, dogs are a part of the family and welcome to make themselves comfortable just as they would in your home. They are welcome to relax on the couch, snooze on the bed, or use their own bed or crate if that’s most comfortable. I want your dog (and you) to feel relaxed and safe until your return.

“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”
“We had a meet with Danielle before we left our mini poodle a few days later with her. When we went back the second time, as we approached her house, he got super excited and couldn’t wait to go in. Danielle was really kind and gentle with him. When he was anxious as we left, she held him until he calmed down. He enjoyed playing with her very active puppy and was pretty tuckered when we got back. We’re looking forward to leaving him with her again.”
“Thank you Myrlonette for making such an anxious experience so smooth and reassuring. Your attentiveness and energy is going to be hard for us to keep up with at home! We look forward to your services again as we believe we found a home away from home for our fur baby!”
“We loved working with Katey! We left our fur baby in her care and we couldn’t be happier!!! She was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in keeping us updated. It was the first time we had to leave our doggo in someone else’s care. So the texts and pictures meant a lot! :) Katey is super kind and sweet! And she has an awesome family! We have already booked her again!”

“Mary was absolutely excellent! We have a 9 week old PWD mix breed named Chase and we were nervous to leave our pup baby with a puppy sitter. However, Mary sent pictures, never put him in a crate, took him out often for potty and snuggled him! She's wonderful and Chase will be visiting her weekly while I'm at work. Thank you Mary!!”
“Our dog easily warmed up with Steph the first time she met her! Steph was great and so accommodating. We agreed to an out of town trip and had to leave early and Steph, with no hesitation, accepted our booking. She really took good care of our dog, that our fur baby went home happy that day. We will use her services again in the future!”
“Marilyn and her son Adam were awesome. I took my 11 month old and 50 pound pitbull mix to them for a few hours and it looks like my pup had a great and fun time. From when my pup first met them, she was shy but she warmed up to Marilyn and Adam within minutes. She came home pretty tired as she probably ran around quite a bit and was entertained by them during their care. Thank you both!”
“Thank you soooo much for taking him for the day! He is tired out and happy! Thank you for al the updates of photos and videos I will deff be bringing him back so he can play again! Thanks so much guys I highly recommend her!! Very great!”

“Absolutely love Katelyn. I am very protective of who I allow to walk my Zoey since she is known to be quite a puller and loves to bark. After the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with Katelyn walking Zoey.”
“Wendy has been walking my puppy, Missy, three days a week for 30 minutes each time, and she’s been wonderful. Missy always comes back happy and relaxed after their walks. Missy is a diva and sometimes resists going out, but Wendy is always patient, kind, and understanding with her. I especially love the feedback and pictures Wendy shares after each walk—they give me a lot of comfort and peace knowing how Missy is doing. I’ve really appreciated the care and consistency she brings to every visit, and I hope to see her back in the spring.”
“Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”
“So thankful to have found Amy! our senior rescue loves her walks. Amy is super caring to our sweet girl and I know she is in capable hands if there are any special needs or requests.”

“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”
“We were so grateful to have Monica's help with walking our two big dogs! She left a great first impression when she offered to do a meet and greet beforehand. We'd definitely hire her again!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful! She showed up right on time, was an excellent communicator before, during, and after the visit, and handled both of our dogs with confidence. I was especially grateful that she was willing to take on a same-day request — and on a holiday, no less! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.”

About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.
About: I trained my Australian Shepard for 8 years and have lots of patience with dogs of all breeds🫶🏽I’ve had dogs my whole life and I’m very experienced. I am free everyday at least 2 hours a day to walk at different hours of the days( mornings, nights and days). I have lots of availability I always make sure to take my pets to the bathroom at least every 2 hours or as needed. Walking my dog is key to keeping the dog in shape and away from illnesses while also having a clean eating and playtime environment.
About: 10 years ago I had the opportunity of getting a schnauzer called Lady and since then my world changed with her. 6 years ago I moved from Ecuador to Florida and Lady had to stay with my family, and since then I have been able to be around furry friends as I would take care of my friends dogs and cats while they went on vacation. I currently own a 20 gallon fish tank with 40+ fishies and due to work I cannot own my own furry friend yet. I know my work schedule with a month in advance and I have at least 12 days off every month. Usually my days off are during the week and depending on my schedule I can take care of the doggies or cats before/after I finish working. I live in a townhome around a lot of trails and parks where I can go with your dogs to play. I do not have any other pets except for my fishies at home so they would have my complete attention.

I'll care for your furry friend as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the best possible care and attention. With me, your pet will feel safe, loved, and cherished.
About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I have a male Chihuahua-Terrier mix who stays with me part-time and gets along well with other dogs. I am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, because my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, indoor or outdoor play sessions, or relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll tailor their care to their unique personality and routine. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs and am comfortable administering medication, preparing special diets, and providing extra care and attention. I love having dogs around and would be delighted to welcome your pet into my home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I ask that dogs be friendly around children, adults, and other dogs. Meet and greets—virtual or in person—are required before booking so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work a flexible hybrid schedule, with three days per week at home and my office is close enough to come home midday on office days for walks and all your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious townhome and do not have a fenced yard, but if your dog enjoys leashed walks and outdoor playtime, I have easy access to open outdoor spaces, parks, and nature trails. In my home, dogs are a part of the family and welcome to make themselves comfortable just as they would in your home. They are welcome to relax on the couch, snooze on the bed, or use their own bed or crate if that’s most comfortable. I want your dog (and you) to feel relaxed and safe until your return.
“We would highly recommend Shalyn and Joe to anyone looking to have their dog looked after. They responded promptly to any concerns we had and we received daily photos and updates on how our Pixie was doing.”
“Sonia provided us with pics and texts to allow us to keep up with how Misha was handling being left home when we needed to travel out of state. Misha who is housebroken and loves all human contact, didn't accept being left behind and presented Sonia with challenges that we never anticipated, taking out her unhappiness on her. Sonia rose to the challenge questioning us on how to handle her behaviors and ruling out any suspected health issues as causes. Misha was well cared for and I have no reservations recommending Sonia as a dog boarder.”
“As always, Jackie is phenomenal. On very short notice, she took Molly so I could focus on my grand daughter as my grandson was being born. She amazing and I have zero issues whenever Molly visits. She’s the best. Molly loves her!”
“For the second time, April and her husband we're amazing , the care and support they gave Lisa during my travel for two weeks was above and beyond , April proved her love and care to me by giving me back Lisa clean and healthy, April me and Lisa thank you for everything you did for us.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Queenie for the past few days. I’m glad Queenie got along with your pup and your family and I’m glad she was happy and comfortable.”
“Maria was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew he was in great hands. She took him on long, enjoyable walks and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria was incredibly responsive and clearly treated our dog with so much love and care. He came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored his time with her. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”
“My pup and I's meet & greet went very well, as well as his first weekend with Lori. I received pictures (which I love) of mine and her dogs, who got along well together. She had a nice fenced in back yard for the pooches to play. We will be going back!”
