This was the best experience we had with using Rover. Stella and her family were amazing. We received photos every day, and we felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Our dog has recently developed separation anxiety issues at the age of 10, which has been somewhat of a challenge to figure out since it happens when we’re gone, but Stella managed everything without issue, which was a huge comfort.

Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

Melody did so amazing at comforting our king and us when we dropped King off! It’s the most comfortable he’s been during a drop off as he usually has anxiety. Communication was great and we loved the pics and videos of the time they spent together. Thank you Melody for taking great care of our fur baby.!

We needed care for our almost 13 year old quirky dog, Lucy for a week while we traveled to Michigan to be with my mom while she had major surgery/recovery. I found Debbie on Rover and contacted her regarding boarding Lucy while we were gone. On the phone, I immediately felt comfortable with Debbie. We chatted for 15-20 minutes and I told her all of Lucy's "quirks." She invited us over for a meet and greet right away to ensure Lucy (and us) felt comfortable. Our Lucy has been recovering from a leg injury and also has been a VERY picky eater. Therefore we needed someone that would be very patient with her. Debbie and her family were amazing. Debbie and her husband were able to get Lucy to eat regularly and also take her vitamins! This has been a feat for us let me tell you! They even taught me a couple tricks to get Lucy to eat her vitamins! And since Lucy has come home, she has been so much better with her eating and her leg as well! I couldn’t be more happy ? We received updates every single day...and Debbie took so many beautiful photos of Lucy. She really has a talent for photography! I never had to worry for a minute about Lucy. She was spoiled rotten by Debbie and her family. We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Debbie and her family.

Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.

I cannot recommend Annie enough! This was my first time leaving my dog Zeus with her, and I was completely at ease the entire time. She and her husband are incredibly kind people who clearly have a passion for dogs. I received frequent messages and photo updates, which I appreciated so much. Best of all, my dog got along with theirs—it was like a little vacation for him, too! I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Annie is fantastic.

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.

Kelsey was absolutely amazing! I was in a tough spot — I was getting married and the friend who was supposed to watch my dog, Inc, canceled last minute. I had no one lined up and was pretty stressed. I did a meet-and-greet with Kelsey and her husband, and right away I felt completely comfortable. They were both so kind and welcoming, and their home was perfect for Inc. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelsey went above and beyond, and I had total peace of mind on such an important day. If I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would! I will definitely be using her again in the future.

Jill is a very experienced pet sitter and took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs is a rescue from a situation that has caused her to have confidence issues and she was quite stressed because there was a storm when my dogs were in Jill's care. Jill was very attentive towards my dog and calming, and kept me posted throughout the entire weekend so that I knew of the situation but assured me that my she was able to get my pup calmed down. I received pics of both of my dogs the day after the storm with huge smiles on their faces!!! She and her husband also have a beautiful secured yard that my dogs ran their hearts out in! I highly recommend Jill when you need to board your pup and want to feel at ease about his or her care!

About: If your dog loves attention, belly rubs, and being treated like family, we’ll get along great. I’ve spent 20+ years caring for dogs of all personalities, including my own Alaskan Malamute and Bernese Mountain Dog. My experience spans dogs of every size, from gentle giants like Great Danes to beagles and even Yorkshire Terriers. Because of that, i’m comfortable handling everything from high-energy play sessions and long walks to relaxed cuddle time and specialized care routines. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new. I myself am a regular user of Rover for my own dogs. That is why I focus on creating a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Expect regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands. I have a flexible work schedule, your per won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of attention. I strive to keep each pets normal routine closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and cuddle breaks. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences and any special needs before care begins. I focus in creating a calm, secure, and stress-free environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I closely supervise pets during walks, outdoor time, and interactions with other animals and I always follow the care instructions provided. I understand that trust is earned, which is why I provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout each visit.

About: I've taken care of dogs at every stage of life ever since I was 7. From house-training puppy to assisting my 90 lb senior dog on walks with a special harness because her back legs would not work as well anymore (I have a special place in my heart for senior doggies as my childhood doggy Emily (boxer mix) just passed away recently at 15 years old). I have experience walking, feeding, and playing with small and big dogs. I am also currently doing dog walking/feeding for my mother's pitbull at the moment. I am currently not in the place in my life to own another dog at this moment and have been missing having a dog of my own again so I am so ready to love yours as if they were my own! I will take the utmost precautions and safety depending on your dog's needs/behavior. I have safely handled reactive dogs that don't do well with other dogs. I will make sure your pet gets the exercise/playtime they need to stay happy. I also own a cat so I am also experienced in cat care for your feline friends! I am pretty much available at anytime and any day at this time. Just let me know with at least one day ahead of time and I will let you know if I am able. I would take care of your baby like my own. In any situation, I will take the utmost precaution to ensure the safety of your pet and myself when we are walking.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs since I was little and have loved every second. I was always helping out my family’s and neighbor’s pets - and now I finally got my own puppy in August of 2025. Trained him all on my own and he is the sweetest boy! I work at a kindergarten with special education during the school year. Once June hits, I will be officially out for summer break and plan on focusing all my attention on Rover. I will have all the time on my hands to drop in and take care of your pets! My 10 month old dachshund is very well taken care of. He is my pride and joy - always getting all the cuddles and exercise he needs. I believe that all pets require the same love and attention that humans do and I treat them with that idea in mind.

About: Hi! My name is Elaina, and I am passionate about providing safe, loving, and individualized care for every pet who stays with us. I currently work from home while my husband and I prepare to welcome our first baby this fall. This allows me to offer flexible scheduling, close supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My husband, Joseph, is also home two out of every three days, so there is often an extra set of hands available when needed. - * Experience I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities through both personal experience and caring for pets belonging to family and friends. We currently have two friendly dogs of our own: a 55 lb Australian Mountain Doodle and a 75 lb Lab/Great Dane mix who both enjoy meeting new friends. I also have experience with puppies, senior dogs, anxious dogs, and multi-dog households. Friends and family frequently trust me to care for their pets, and our fenced yard is often used for supervised puppy playdates and socialization. Before working from home, I worked as a pediatric occupational therapy provider supporting children with autism and developmental delays. I also have experience in animal-assisted therapy and have received formal education on dog behavior and its application in therapy settings. These experiences helped me develop a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caring for both people and animals. - * Our Home Our home is a spacious two-story house with a fully fenced yard, nearby walking paths and parks, and plenty of space for dogs to relax, play, and feel comfortable. Dogs are welcome to be part of our daily routine and are treated like family during their stay. We also have gates available if separation is ever needed for safety, rest, or comfort. - * Personalized Care We accept only one family of pets at a time, allowing us to provide individualized attention throughout your pet’s entire stay. This approach helps us tailor care to each dog’s unique routine, personality, and comfort level. We are happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, sleeping arrangements, and any other instructions that help your pet feel safe and at home. - * Communication One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is building relationships not only with the animals but with their owners as well. I love sending photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can feel reassured, connected, and confident that your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Communication is extremely important to me, and I pride myself on quick responses and consistent updates. - * Services Offered We currently offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, dog walking, puppy care, and senior dog care. At this time, we are not offering overnight house sitting in clients’ homes. - * Safety First For the safety and comfort of all pets in our care, we are unable to accept aggressive dogs or dogs that are not comfortable around other dogs. We would love to meet you and your fur family! I currently work from home, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling, close supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My husband is also home two out of every three days, so there is often an additional set of hands available when needed. Because I work from home, dogs are rarely left unattended for extended periods and typically receive supervision for most of the day. - * Daily Care Dogs in our care receive frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, companionship, and plenty of supervised interaction throughout the day. We are also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and other special care instructions. - * Personalized Routine We understand that every dog has unique needs and preferences. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a laid-back adult, or a senior who enjoys a quieter routine, we do our best to maintain consistency so they feel comfortable, safe, and at home. - * Services Offered We currently offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, dog walking, puppy care, and senior dog care. At this time, we are not offering overnight house sitting in clients’ homes. - * Communication We believe great pet care includes great communication. We pride ourselves on quick responses and provide frequent photo and video updates so you can stay connected and feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable and confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while they are staying with us. - * Our Home Our home is a spacious two-story house with a fully fenced yard, nearby walking paths and parks, and plenty of room for dogs to relax, play, and feel comfortable. Dogs who stay with us are welcomed into our daily routine and treated like family. We also have gates available if separation is ever needed for safety, rest, or comfort. - * Safe & Personalized Care We currently have two friendly resident dogs who are social and accustomed to being around other animals. To provide the highest level of care and attention, we accept only one family of pets at a time. This allows us to tailor each stay to your dog’s unique routine, personality, and comfort level while ensuring they receive plenty of individual attention throughout their visit. - * Experience With Special Needs We have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, anxious dogs, and multi-pet households. We are happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and any other instructions that help your pet feel comfortable and secure. - * Communication & Updates One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is building relationships not only with the animals but with their owners as well. I love sending photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can feel reassured, connected, and confident that your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. - * Safety Requirements For the safety and comfort of all pets in our care, we are unable to accept aggressive dogs or dogs that are not comfortable around other dogs. We want every dog in our home to have a safe, positive, and stress-free experience.

I felt like I had an entire team to meet their needs with Debbie as captain. I appreciated the photos and texts to know our family pets were In good hands.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels since I was a little kid growing up in Brazil. I used to volunteer giving baths to dogs before adoption days and loved being part of their journey to a new home. I currently have two Labradors and two cats who are truly part of my family. I’ve also cared for pets of friends and family for years, and now I’m excited to offer my love and attention to pets on Rover. I promise to care for your pets as if they were my own! I am a stay at home wife, I’m available on both weekends and weekdays. We have a fenced backyard and live across the street from a park. I have a fenced backyard and a large crate available if needed. I can host dogs comfortably in my home or house sit at the client’s home, depending on what works best for you and your pet.

About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

About: If your dog loves attention, belly rubs, and being treated like family, we’ll get along great. I’ve spent 20+ years caring for dogs of all personalities, including my own Alaskan Malamute and Bernese Mountain Dog. My experience spans dogs of every size, from gentle giants like Great Danes to beagles and even Yorkshire Terriers. Because of that, i’m comfortable handling everything from high-energy play sessions and long walks to relaxed cuddle time and specialized care routines. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new. I myself am a regular user of Rover for my own dogs. That is why I focus on creating a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Expect regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands. I have a flexible work schedule, your per won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of attention. I strive to keep each pets normal routine closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and cuddle breaks. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences and any special needs before care begins. I focus in creating a calm, secure, and stress-free environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I closely supervise pets during walks, outdoor time, and interactions with other animals and I always follow the care instructions provided. I understand that trust is earned, which is why I provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout each visit.

About: So let's be realistic, we have pretty busy schedules as adults. I don't though so don't feel bad when you schedule me haha. I've been a papa to the biggest of fluffers and smallest of small dogs. I'm very familiar with the feisty kittens and old grumpy cats, and at one point even a gold fish I kept for 2 years. I am no stranger to particular schedules, care routines, or special requests of animals. You got shedders? Not a problem I have lint rollers haha. I have been in customer service for years now, and every time when making someone's day easier or allowing them to feel less stress it brings me the most joy. I've been a mix of animals owner most of my life from fostering animals in need or assisting family and friends with taking care of their animals. I also supply baggies for bathroom time and long sleeves if it's chilly outside. I go on a lot of walks!! Anytime I'm not home baking or hanging out with a friend I'm normally just out and about exploring my neighborhood. My set preference schedule is actually just for when I have to either go to the gym or when I schedule appointments because Mondays work easier. Your pets are the number one priority. If they require something and I am attending them I make sure it happens. Not only is your space respected when I watch them but also the pets space. Feeding times, walk routes, and any medical requirements and boundaries will be discussed because all situations are different. If something happens like say something fell or they went potty by accident I will clean it up no problem. A work space is better when it's clean but also when it's fun!!! I do bring things like cleaning baggies and lint rollers but I can also make sure any particular scents are avoided.

About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student taking online classes Monday through Thursday, however, I can be flexible with my schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out to take care of your pets:) I can always make time to help out <3 For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

I spent time with my own dogs and cats as well as working at my sister’s grooming salon as a bather and pet sitter. I was also my friends and neighbors contact when they needed someone to care for their pets. I have been an active volunteer with a local pitbull rescue for many years and spend my free time with the rescue dogs and doing adoption events. I also started volunteering at the local animal rescue by my house as and spend time taking dogs out and helping with fundraising events. I currently have two dogs and one cat of my own that I love very much. My pets stay home with their other pawrent when I am away. I am available on a case by case basis during the day throughout the week but have open availability on weekends for in-home sitting or walks. I can do early morning, lunch, or evening walks/check-in for those busy days to bring you peace of mind that your pets are safe and cared for. Do you need someone to come keep your pet comfortable and happy while you’re out for the day? Or a few drop-in visits? Maybe even just to bring yourself peace of mind? I am happy to help provide that. *Surcharges* -visits between 9:00pm-7:00am will have $10 surcharge added after we confirm booking -visits requested outside of 8 mile radius may also incur a $10 surcharge after booking is confirmed (Ex: a $35 drop-in visit(30 min) would become $45) I take care of all animals as though they are my own by ensuring their best interest at heart. I treat the safety and well being of all animals as a top priority. I truly care for animals and have an infinite amount of compassion and respect for them. I am knowledgeable with different behaviors and walking accessories (ex: different harness and collar set ups) so I can ensure safety for your pet in all situations that may present while on a walk or visit. Please trust that your pets will be treated with absolute care and respect. I will go above and beyond for any animal in my care as well as providing you with the best communication and care for your home and time.

This was the best experience we had with using Rover. Stella and her family were amazing. We received photos every day, and we felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Our dog has recently developed separation anxiety issues at the age of 10, which has been somewhat of a challenge to figure out since it happens when we’re gone, but Stella managed everything without issue, which was a huge comfort.

Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

Melody did so amazing at comforting our king and us when we dropped King off! It’s the most comfortable he’s been during a drop off as he usually has anxiety. Communication was great and we loved the pics and videos of the time they spent together. Thank you Melody for taking great care of our fur baby.!

Tyrone and Lexus seemed to enjoy their stay with Angela and Dave. They also have Honey and Bella to redirect the little furbabies. Thank you for accomodating aloof Tyrone and clingy LexusI The daily pictures and update, calmed the “hooman dogparents” as well? We will do it again with Angela.

We needed care for our almost 13 year old quirky dog, Lucy for a week while we traveled to Michigan to be with my mom while she had major surgery/recovery. I found Debbie on Rover and contacted her regarding boarding Lucy while we were gone. On the phone, I immediately felt comfortable with Debbie. We chatted for 15-20 minutes and I told her all of Lucy's "quirks." She invited us over for a meet and greet right away to ensure Lucy (and us) felt comfortable. Our Lucy has been recovering from a leg injury and also has been a VERY picky eater. Therefore we needed someone that would be very patient with her. Debbie and her family were amazing. Debbie and her husband were able to get Lucy to eat regularly and also take her vitamins! This has been a feat for us let me tell you! They even taught me a couple tricks to get Lucy to eat her vitamins! And since Lucy has come home, she has been so much better with her eating and her leg as well! I couldn’t be more happy ? We received updates every single day...and Debbie took so many beautiful photos of Lucy. She really has a talent for photography! I never had to worry for a minute about Lucy. She was spoiled rotten by Debbie and her family. We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Debbie and her family.

Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.

I cannot recommend Annie enough! This was my first time leaving my dog Zeus with her, and I was completely at ease the entire time. She and her husband are incredibly kind people who clearly have a passion for dogs. I received frequent messages and photo updates, which I appreciated so much. Best of all, my dog got along with theirs—it was like a little vacation for him, too! I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Annie is fantastic.

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.

We are extremely happy with Carla watching our puppy. She went over and above taking care of our pet. We received multiple videos as well as pictures of updates of how she was doing all day. We really appreciate her taking us as a client. We will definitely be booking with Carla next time we need someone to watch our dog.

Kelsey was absolutely amazing! I was in a tough spot — I was getting married and the friend who was supposed to watch my dog, Inc, canceled last minute. I had no one lined up and was pretty stressed. I did a meet-and-greet with Kelsey and her husband, and right away I felt completely comfortable. They were both so kind and welcoming, and their home was perfect for Inc. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelsey went above and beyond, and I had total peace of mind on such an important day. If I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would! I will definitely be using her again in the future.

Jill is a very experienced pet sitter and took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs is a rescue from a situation that has caused her to have confidence issues and she was quite stressed because there was a storm when my dogs were in Jill's care. Jill was very attentive towards my dog and calming, and kept me posted throughout the entire weekend so that I knew of the situation but assured me that my she was able to get my pup calmed down. I received pics of both of my dogs the day after the storm with huge smiles on their faces!!! She and her husband also have a beautiful secured yard that my dogs ran their hearts out in! I highly recommend Jill when you need to board your pup and want to feel at ease about his or her care!

Anna was super kind and accommodating. She did take pictures (which I so appreciate) including on walks. My dog was a bit high energy and Anna managed well - I know because he came back tired. Also, super helpful when we had to cut the trip short. TY Anna!

Christine is so good with Sparky. He is an older dog and we never worry about him while he is with Christine. She takes care of all of his needs and we can tell that he loves going there. I would highly recommend Christine.
