“Jackie is beyond amazing. My very anxious fur baby has become so much more comfortable (and happy!) with overnight stays thanks to the patience Jackie and her family have taken to make her feel at home. There’s no one else I trust to take such great care of her!”
“We had Maverick, our 7 months old Husky, with Shauna & Peter for 10 days..They took such a wonderful care of Maverick and shared many photos and videos every day..They took Maverick for multiple walks and lot of outdoor activities. He was very much loved and enjoyed his stay with Shauna, Peter and their daughters. We are glad we found them on Rover. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter and would definitely have them to take care of Maverick next time!”
“Morgan was great with our dog! Dewey. He stayed with her for 12 days during our recent vacation. Dewey can be anxious in new settings but she was able to provide one-on-one attention that helps him adjust. She also provided appropriate stimulation such as walks, outside time and toys. This was our first experience with Rover. We’ve used boarding through our vet in the past. The experience with Rover and especially with Morgan, was so much better for us, and more importantly for Dewey!”
“Jackie and her family took amazing care of our 3 babies during their week-long stay. ❤️ We had lost our previous sitter on Rover and were nervous about leaving them somewhere new, but we needn’t have worried! Jackie sent daily updates & pictures, and it was clear the pups were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🥰”
“Shalyn & Joseph really set my mind at ease when dropping off my pup. They kept me updated with pictures & detailed messages about how he was doing. Wally seemed like such a happy/ tired boy when he came home & I couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of him!”
“We used Eric for 2 weeks of boarding when we were out of the country. We received daily communication and answers to our questions. He was wonderful with both dogs -- especially the new puppy. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole and her family are great! I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their capable hands. I received pictures regularly and could tell he was a happy pup. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a happy environment for their pups.”
“We boarded our 2 little guys with Rosarin for several nights and could tell they were very well cared for. We got updates via the app on their days felt relieved they were in excellent care. Would highly recommend!”
“10/10 would recommend! Best dog sitter we've ever had! Niratcha kept me updated and sent lots of pictures, I always worry when we are away but knowing they were happy and playing the whole time made my vacation so much more enjoyable!”
“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”
“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!”
“Mera and her family gave my dog a wonderful and loving environment. She was responsive when I texted, and gave me updates with photos often. I look forward to having her watch my dog again in the future. She gave my mind at ease, knowing that my dog was in good hands.”
“Unfortunately, our dog was very anxious and having some issues with the other dog when staying with Jeannie, so we had to cut the stay short. Rover refunded me the money for the rest of the say, and then Jeannie went above and beyond and offered to refund the remaining amount! She was so patient with us and with our dog, even though she didn't need to be. I am sad it didn't work out as I think she is a wonderful person and you can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. I think your pet would be in great hands staying with Jeannie.”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“Keith was great! Very organized and respectful of trying keep our dog comfortable and on her routine. He frequently updated us with videos and was great about keeping her active with playtime and walks. All in all a great experience and I’ll be looking to use Keith again in the future.”
“Cinnamon had a great time and I loved that I was constantly getting updates from videos and texts! Made me feel secure that I dropped my puppy off at the right place! So much love and attention they provided to Cinnamon!”
“This was our first time with June and all went great. Lots of sharing of updates and photos, including many walks. Lucky came home a happy puppy and we are too.”
“Derek is an outstanding sitter. I trust him and his family to care for my dog Bear whenever we are out of town and I know Bear loves spending time with them. I love the updates and picture Derek sends to keep me posted how Bear is doing. I would highly recommend Derek as a sitter.”

“Erika has been amazing to work with. She is so kind and such caring nature that I felt comfortable with her the moment I met her. She took great care of both my cats. Her detailed updates and pictures made my day everytime I got those. She was thorough with all the tasks and did some extra clean up which I am truly grateful for. Can’t wait to book her again!”

My neighbors have depended on me for helping out with their cats, including administering medications, feedings, and litter box cleanings. I'd love to be your feline's new friend!
“I was able to book Kamron last minute to feed our cats while we were out of town. She was fantastic to work with! Friendly, communicative, sent tons of great pics, and even went out of the way to return our house after a visit to do us a quick favor.”
“Angela is amazing ❤️ I highly recommend her. She took such wonderful care of our Cat. I can see in the pictures she sent that our cat was happy. We will definitely be requesting Angela again. She really has a way with animals 💜”
“We were so thankful Kellie was able to visit our two kittens on short notice. It was clear she loves cats and was happy to play with them, feed them, and scoop litter. We will definitely have her visit us again!”

“Jackie was so accommodating & flexible. Such a great communicator. She provided plenty of pics/videos throughout the day which was greatly appreciated since this was our first time using Rover. Would definitely recommend Jackie!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats every since I was 5 years old so I guess you could say I’m experienced!! I just received my graduate degree & now have plenty of time to provide exceptional care & love for your pups! 🐶 I’m available any day of the week for boarding, I work part time, have weekends off & have a very flexible schedule! I’m looking forward to providing exceptional care to your animal while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and love to go for plenty of walks! Lots of space for your dog to explore in the house and backyard!
About: I have always loved every different kind of animal out there, but spent my childhood with mostly just cats. 15 years ago, I adopted my first puppy, a German Short-haired Pointer, at the age of 8 weeks. My ex-husband and I decided to take the "treatless training" approach which was a huge success! Crate training, leash training, obedience training were all a collaborative effort and turned out extremely well. 10 years later, we adopted a sweet rescue named Gizmo who was already 7 years old, but became part of the family immediately. They have both passed on now to doggy heaven, but I am always the first to offer to care for other family member's pets anytime I can :) I'm currently working part-time from my home in Blackberry Creek and always have time for some fur-ball company. My 2 girls, 7 and 10 years old, are with me part time and are also very helpful, gentle and patient with our pets and hopefully yours! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room for your fur-baby to play and exercise! If it better suits you, I can always come to your home as well for potty and play time :) UPDATE 6/8/26 - Since starting my Rover journey in 2022, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing pets and their wonderful families. Along the way, our household has grown and changed in ways I never expected. In 2023, one of my regular Rover pups (actually a senior pup) became a permanent part of our family. Tigger’s owner had rescued him from a Chicago Animal Shelter just months before I began caring for him. As a 100 lb. Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Bully, etc. mix, Tigger was a big boy with an even bigger heart. His owner dedicated to helping him become the best version of himself, especially since he wasn’t always comfortable around other dogs. With patience, training, and love, he blossomed into the sweetest, gentlest giant you could imagine. When his owner unexpectedly passed away, her husband reached out to ask if I would consider adopting Tigger. My answer was immediate: absolutely. I couldn’t bear the thought of him returning to a shelter. Bringing Tiggy into our family was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My girls and I were lucky enough to love, spoil, and cherish him for three wonderful years before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We miss him every day, but are so grateful for the time we had together. Since then, we’ve also welcomed two adorable brother cats into our home. They keep us smiling and full our days with plenty of fun and affection. While our family has grown, we’re excited to have some doggy energy back in the house through Rover! When your pup stays with us, they’ll be welcomed with open arms and treated like a part of the family. We understand how much your pets mean to you because we’ve experienced firsthand just how special that bond can be. Our promise is simple: we’ll care for your furry family member with the same love, attention, and respect that we give our own. I work from home full time, so am able to provide your pup with all of the attention they deserve. They are free to run around in the fenced-in backyard and play at their fullest extent! Every pet owner has a different perspective on how to care for their pets. Some require a special routine for dinnertime or bedtime, while others require basic care with lots of love. I will follow whatever instructions are given to me by the owner…and I promise not to judge 😊

“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 :)”
“This was my first time taking my little Mollie to Stepfanie. It was a very positive day. Mollie was loved on and I don’t think she e wanted to leave. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jackie was phenomenal. I reached out pretty last minute with a request that wasn’t exactly simple—she had to pick Ghost up from his training facility (not from me) and coordinate all of that seamlessly. On top of that, she even helped me sort out a small payment detail on Rover to make sure everything reflected correctly, which she absolutely didn’t have to do. She was super responsive, easy to work with, and just handled everything without friction. And the best part—Ghost lit up the second he saw her again after a few months, which tells you everything you need to know. Somehow she manages all of this while caring for multiple dogs at once and raising a young family, which honestly makes it even more impressive. Highly recommend giving Jackie a shot.”

“My pup is normally very shy and takes him time warming up, but he loved Rosarin right away! He took treats (which never happens), enjoyed a nice long walk with her, and spent some time hanging out with her dog. Rosarin is great with animals, and she shared lots of helpful insights and cute pics/videos. Fantastic sitter, will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Jacqueline and Uriel sent me photos and videos and kept me updated though out the day. When I picked up Queenie she was so happy and relaxed. You can tell she had an amazing time and was comfortable in Jacqueline and Uriel’s care. When we were leaving she was going back to them for pets and affection. I will definitely book with Jacqueline and Uriel in the future. Thank you so much! 🙏🏽🤗”

About: Hello, I'm a dog lover, of all breeds, big and small and everything in between. I truly believe that your precious canine/feline will be truly at home with me. Animals off all sizes and breeds are special to me and also to God. I know I have a couple less than desirable reviews, but they were total misunderstandings. Unfortunately they stay on my page which makes me so sad because it gives me great joy to be there and stand in the gap for these precious animals. I also watch caged pets. I am very flexible, available at a moments notice. I love all animals and do everything in my power to accommodate. I'm not perfect but I love all animals perfectly. Another chance appreciated!!

“Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!”
“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!!”
“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel!

What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have for your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or just wants some extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care! I offer a variety of pet care services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, overnight care, medication administration (when needed), litter box cleaning, and of course, lots of love and affection. I also believe communication is important, so I'll gladly send photo and video updates to give you peace of mind while you're away. I've spent many years caring for my own pets as well as helping friends, family, and neighbors with theirs. Through those experiences, I've learned how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for animals. I'm comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I enjoy getting to know each one individually so I can provide care that matches their unique personality. I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I have availability during Sundays, weekdays and most evenings, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules. I never want a pet to feel rushed or overlooked, so I make sure every visit includes plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can leave home knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to building a lasting relationship with both you and your pet!
About: When I had roommates, they have a cat who has wobbly cat syndrome (Cerebellar Hypoplasia) which makes him walk a little funny! He can’t go more than two to three steps without falling over, and eating is quite a challenge. Having cared for him has made me really patient and understanding of animals. I recently just left a data entry job, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I love animals more than people so they are going to fit perfectly into my daily routine. I would spend time with your pet as much as you’d like! I love spending time with animals whether that’s playing with them, giving them pets, going on walks or just being next to them giving them company!
About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.
About: 🐾***new to Rover, extremely experienced in pet care***🐾 I have been in the pet care and training industry since 2015.

I care for the pets in the owner's home. Feeding, playing, and lots of love are included in my visits!🐾 I take care of animals daily. I do pet sitting on my own, and have for years since 2015. I worked in kennels, boarding facilities, doggie daycares, and training facilities. I care for my own dogs, birds, and rats daily. Animals are my life!

Other than that, I have all the time in the world for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

I’m currently working part time as a nanny while attending ECC for Nursing. This allows me to have a flexible schedule to care for your pet(s)!

“Morgan was great with our dog! Dewey. He stayed with her for 12 days during our recent vacation. Dewey can be anxious in new settings but she was able to provide one-on-one attention that helps him adjust. She also provided appropriate stimulation such as walks, outside time and toys. This was our first experience with Rover. We’ve used boarding through our vet in the past. The experience with Rover and especially with Morgan, was so much better for us, and more importantly for Dewey!”
“Jackie and her family took amazing care of our 3 babies during their week-long stay. ❤️ We had lost our previous sitter on Rover and were nervous about leaving them somewhere new, but we needn’t have worried! Jackie sent daily updates & pictures, and it was clear the pups were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🥰”
“Shalyn & Joseph really set my mind at ease when dropping off my pup. They kept me updated with pictures & detailed messages about how he was doing. Wally seemed like such a happy/ tired boy when he came home & I couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of him!”
“Nicole and her family are great! I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their capable hands. I received pictures regularly and could tell he was a happy pup. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a happy environment for their pups.”
“10/10 would recommend! Best dog sitter we've ever had! Niratcha kept me updated and sent lots of pictures, I always worry when we are away but knowing they were happy and playing the whole time made my vacation so much more enjoyable!”
“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”
“Mera and her family gave my dog a wonderful and loving environment. She was responsive when I texted, and gave me updates with photos often. I look forward to having her watch my dog again in the future. She gave my mind at ease, knowing that my dog was in good hands.”
“Unfortunately, our dog was very anxious and having some issues with the other dog when staying with Jeannie, so we had to cut the stay short. Rover refunded me the money for the rest of the say, and then Jeannie went above and beyond and offered to refund the remaining amount! She was so patient with us and with our dog, even though she didn't need to be. I am sad it didn't work out as I think she is a wonderful person and you can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. I think your pet would be in great hands staying with Jeannie.”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“Derek is an outstanding sitter. I trust him and his family to care for my dog Bear whenever we are out of town and I know Bear loves spending time with them. I love the updates and picture Derek sends to keep me posted how Bear is doing. I would highly recommend Derek as a sitter.”
“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!”
“Leslie did a great job with my Marley. Marley is a very anxious dog and he had a blast with Leslie. I will leave for my work trip in a couple weeks knowing that he is in good hands and being well cared for! 🤍”
“Lizzie was a perfect caretaker for our 7 year old golden doodle! She sent pictures, videos and communicated the perfect amount during our dog’s stay. We will booking with her again!”
“Dana and her family are wonderful! Have been using her for a few years now. She is very genuine and shows my dog love, and my dog(s) love(d) her! Very good communication including updates and photos during their stay, has been flexible and supportive when needed. My dog and I trust Dana and very much appreciate her loving care for the animals.”
“River enjoyed her stay again and the drop off pick up was super easy and Justine was ready to go. They gave us photos each and kept us up to date. We will be back again. River enjoyed being able to hangout with the kiddos as she's a social people loving dog.”
“This was our first rover experience- our two dogs stayed with Maria and her family for about 4 days.Maria was happy to do a meet and greet before hand a couple months prior. The day we were dropping the dogs off my female who hasn’t been spayed yet started her menstrual cycle, I was so worried we were going to have to cancel our flights because I totally wouldn’t blame Maria if they didn’t want to keep her while she was wearing a diaper. But Maria was happy to still take both pups for the weekend and I am so thankful. My lab is a high energy gal and did great. We got pictures and updates multiple times a day of their walks and playing in the back yard. They seem happy and content after their stay with Maria and I cannot recommend her more. We have another stay booked with her already. So thankful to find someone to leave my pups with who we trust and can feel at ease leaving them with.”
“Penny looked after Ginger as a trial night before we go on a longer trip this summer. I could tell Ginger had a blast and Penny is very caring with the dogs. 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!”
“Miranda came through for us in the last second when someone cancelled 2 days before our trip. Appreciate that so much. She sent constant updates of the pups and what they were up to and my dogs came and crashed which tells me they had a blast based on the pics and how tired they were :) Thanks Miranda!”
“Roberto and his family welcomed my dog to his family who are all dog lovers. He was well cared for and enjoyed his time with them. Would confidently recommend Roberto.”
