“If you want your pet to be spoiled and catered to while you’re away, I highly recommend Nana! She was fantastic with providing care and updates.”
“It was a big relief to find hosts willing to take my Sadie in when we were going on vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday. I was a little concerned because I'd never left my pup with anyone prior to this experience. I was provided picture updates and when I called to check on Sadie, they let me know that she was doing ok. I felt this was a very positive experience and Sadie seemed really happy to have other pups around that she could socialize with. My Sadie seemed to especially connect with the hosts female black lab named Kimber who was about the same age as she, 3 yrs old. I would certainly recommend boarding your pet with this family.”

“Our Louie loves staying with Dustin and Margaret and their kids. He was calm and happy when we picked him up and the pictures they shared when we were out of town showed a pup who was very much at home with them. We feel lucky to have found a family who takes such good care of our best friend.”
“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.”
“Booked twice already with Jeena! She’s reliable and very accommodating, my pup has alot of energy and Jeena made sure she took him on long walks.

I felt very comfortable leaving Milo in Misty’s care and will definitely use her again should Milo need care in the future.”
“Great family what I like most is that they work as a team to take care of Cody. Great communication, spacious area, very kind to the dogs. I can say Leah is about her business every time I came by she had a dog there so that lets me know that she is well trusted with animals. I want to thank Mara for taken care of Cody cause he can be a handful because he wants all of the attention, and he is scared of other dogs, she sent pictures and responded to my text messages at timely manner. She told me some things that I didn’t realize about my dog while he was there. There young children are fearless with dogs so that was great to see the kids interact without being scared. I will be sending my Cody back to this family if they will welcome him again. Highly recommend this family.”

About: I have always had a dog and cat in my life (and still do!). I have been using Rover for two years and I don't seem to want to stop anytime soon. I have trained two golden retrievers and walked a lot of puppies, senior dogs and many ages in-between. One of my own dogs was awarded canine good citizenship before my children were born. I love being around animals and I have a caring nature. Now that my kids are getting older, it fits my need to get exercise and bring some joy into my life. I would love to give your pet some snuggles, snacks and I am always mindful to send lots of photos to ensure you can relax while you are away. I know that is what I would want as a pet owner. Some people think you have to either be a "dog person" or a "cat person". Not me! They both have a place in my heart for very different reasons. Cats take some time, but I love their comforting purr, the playfulness of spunky kittens or just petting their soft fur. Some owners simply just someone they can trust for a check-in. I am happy to provide the details needed so you can be OK while you are away. I am typically available in the afternoons as long as I don’t have a meeting scheduled (I work from home) and most evenings are available. Weekends are the best time to book care if you will be out for soccer games, dinner or long evening plans. I have kids as well and I have used Rover for 6+ years on my own pets. I am excited to return the favor to you now that my kids are older. I have used crates with my own pets during training and I will follow whatever safety instructions are needed. I understand all collars, how to avoid run ins with feisty dogs and other concerns you may have. I know how to troubleshoot dogs that like to find hiding spots or have the ability to slip out of the door. I am 40+ and I am raising tweens at this point, so I have a little wisdom under me that other walkers may not have at this point. I am also trustworthy. I have a great full-time job coupled with flexibility. I just want to combine my love of pets with a little extra income.
“Shannon was fantastic! She communicated well with us while she watched our boy! She sent pictures to show he was doing fine! We felt at total ease leaving our “kid” in her care… she welcomed doing a meet and greet earlier in the week ( at our request) to introduce our dog to her to before dropping him off later that week. She was very accommodating with our drop off/pickup since we were flying somewhere. Will definitely use her again and recommend to her to other pet parents!!!”
“Lindsey was great with Bernard. She sent pictures of Bernard while we were gone showing he was relaxed and having fun. Lindsey was easy to work with regarding drop off and pick up also. I would definitely use her again to watch Bernard.”
“Judith was great! Right from the get go I could tell she was experienced and was going to be attentive and caring, She really went above and beyond taking care of my dog and even made her special dinners. My dog and I are both super happy with Judith and I would 100% go back to her.”

I’m currently working part-time but am available most days during the week and can be flexible with scheduling as needed for pet care and walks. I prioritize safety and trust in every visit. I follow owner instructions closely, keep dogs on-leash during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure pets are never left unattended. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time.

About: I've cared for cats on-and-off as an adult for the last 8 years. I grew up with cats as family pets, so caring for them feels like second-nature! I tend to be my friends' go-to person for cat sitting and house-sitting. I don't mind spending the day or staying overnight to keep cats company. I follow instructions well, and keeping clean litter boxes & bagging/trashing dirty litter is always my priority!
About: I have experience caring for animals in a clinic as a veterinary assistant. I can give medications, provide treatments and am experienced in recognizing signs of distress/illness. Can provide care for pets with special needs! I also have a background in animal behavior and am happy to assist in training! I currently have availability on Friday afternoons and weekends! Need a vacation or just a break for the weekend? Let me take care of your pets/house and give you peace of mind at an affordable price! I will work with you to create an individualized plan of care for your pet's specific needs!

“Karrie did a wonderful job looking after my two cats (one of whom needs meds and extra care) while I was away for a week! When I came home I could tell that they were well looked after. I highly recommended her, she's a true animal lover!”
About: My journey started over a decade ago with my first domestic shorthair, Queenie—and she truly was a queen! She showed me how amazing, fierce, and beautiful cats are, and taught me that every single cat has their own unique, wonderful personality just like people. Five years later, I got my Japanese Akita, Simba, who I love so much. Whether your pet is a cuddly kitty that enjoys their space or a big, playful pup, I love learning who they are and giving them the tailored, expert care and affection they deserve!
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat. I was out of town for a few days and needed someone to check in on my cat while I was gone. Jennifer was quick with her communications, friendly, caring, and easy to work with. I'm very happy with the experience and would definitely ask her to look after my cat again!”
About: 5 years of experience taking care of my baby cat Ama who’s on allergy medication, I’m good at observing cat behaviors and identifying abnormal signals. 1 year of cat shelter volunteering, I am making friends with cats with different personalities. Now, I want to meet yours.
About: Hi, I'm Emma! By day, I’m a geologist working in brewing operations, but on the weekends, my focus is entirely on providing attentive care for your pets. My professional background means I am incredibly detail-oriented, reliable, and strictly adhere to schedules and routines. My love for animals goes beyond standard pet sitting. I have experience volunteering at The Creature Conservancy, where I learned all about it animal welfare. I also have a deep empathy for rescues and medical care—I personally rescued and successfully nursed my own street cat back to full health, so I am no stranger to administering specialized care, monitoring health cues, and giving extra patience to timid or sensitive animals.
About: I have experience caring for cats through both pet sitting and personal ownership. My family has had two cats since my childhood, and I cared for them throughout every stage of life, from energetic kittens to their senior years. I also helped care for them through various health challenges, including administering medications, managing chronic conditions, and providing comfort and support during end of life care, including cancer treatment. In addition to caring for my own cats, I have looked after cats for family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, ages, and care needs. I am comfortable caring for kittens, adult cats, senior cats, and cats with medical needs.
About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals including lizards, fish, kittens (2 weeks old), puppies, and turtles! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend time with your animals and make sure they are well taken care of! I give all pets love and affection with different pets needing different things! For dogs I love to take them for walks and give them lots of belly scratches, and for cats I love to play with them and if they like, pet them!
“I almost don’t want to leave this review so Kartik doesn’t get all booked up. Kartik was professional, flexible, and had very good communication while taking care of my two cats. Upon return, my fur babies and home were well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend and rebook Kartik.”

“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”
“I have used Shannon to care for my dogs 4 times now and every time has been great. Shannon is very accommodating and flexible, which I really like because my life is hectic. My dogs seem to love going there, they rush right in as soon as she opens the door. They are always good natured when I pick them up, which tells me that Shannon is treating them right. She sends me pictures throughout their stay and keeps me updated. I plan on using her every time I need a pet sitter. Finding someone reliable and dependable and caring is a real comfort to me when I have to leave my pets.”
“Ashley took great care of our family member. He was recently rescued and she was very accommodating and knowledgable about his timid personality. She was flexible with our last minute scheduling needs because we didn't even think that we were going to need doggy daycare while on vacation. I definitely recommend her!”
“Francie was fantastic, plenty of playtime and outside time for my little Gía with other small pups. She was flexible with pickup times and took great care of my little girl. Will definitely use her services again. Thanks, Francie!”
“Nicole and Tim are the best!!! They have really kind, positive, calm energy and my black lab immediately loved them. They were super responsive and easy to coordinate with, and their setup is perfect. Their yard is great with a nice high fence, and as someone whose dog gets into everything I really appreciated how neat and clean their apt was. Most importantly though, Darcy had a great time and seemed very happy and relaxed. 10/10, highly recommend. We will definitely use again!”
“My dog Taku and I relocated here from Michigan recently. We have no family or friends here in Illinois. I was so stressed and anxious on what I will do with Taku while I’m at work or a long day or long weekend. Taku has separation anxiety where if he’s left alone, he will cry and bark the whole entire time. Then I found Jeena on Rover! She was so accommodating! She allowed Taku and I to come meet her and her cats to see if they all got along, before we booked her for a half day of day care. Taku did really well at her place! He felt comfortable and when I went to pick him up, he was happy and well taken care of. It seemed like he really loved her already and he gave her kisses goodbye! We will definitely be using Jeena again!! We feel so lucky to have found her!!!! Thanks Jeena and Rover!”
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
“Hailie was super friendly and easy to work with. I had a last minute booking and she worked with me to make it happen. My pups had a great time with her and her family and came home happy and ready to rest! We will be a return customer for sure! Thank you Hailie.”
About: Hello! My name is Medona but I prefer to go by Ruby! I grew up with dogs in my house and pets have become family members. I literally take them out every time I'm out hiking, shopping, picnics, etc. I have experience working with kids and the elderly so I am very patient and responsible. As a person who loves what Utah has to offer, I would love to have a buddy with me to hit the hiking trails. I'm more than willing to work along your regular schedule for your dogs regarding feeding, walk, and medication time too. As a dog owner myself, I get very anxious about how my favorite boy is doing so I usually send daily updates to make sure you have peace of mind. My partner takes care of my dog (Mani) when I'm watching other pets so there would be no interactions with Mani unless you feel comfortable! Contact me with any questions and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! :) I'm currently working a full time job but can come during lunch breaks to check up on them. My weekend starts at noon on Friday.
“Julie was a life saver! We were stood up by our original sitter, and she took Yuna in last minute. It felt reassuring to leave Yuna with her. Even though it was just for the afternoon, it seemed she got along with Julie's dogs and was exercised enough to have her sleep all throughout our road trip back home! Also kept us updated with pictures which was great.”
“Judith was amazing and communicated well throughout the entire process. We felt our dog was in great hands with her and know he was super spoiled. She went above and beyond and sent us daily photo and text updates. We will definitely be booking with Judith again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”
“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks. They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”
“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”

They got plenty of attention, cuddles and love while we were gone! Very thankful for the great care Sarah provided, we won’t hesitate to request that she watch them for future trips as well!”
“Paula did a wonderful job - she deserves Five Stars for watching over my pup Watson! It was my first experience going through Rover for dog boarding. Friends recommended checking her out as they’d used her and were very happy. She did not disappoint - Watson was just as relaxed when being dropped off and when picking him up at the end of my trip.”
“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”
