Beth was amazing!! Our dog seemed to love being with her. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, which was very comforting. She played with him a ton and treated him like one of her own. We will definitely book with Beth again.

I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.

Bridget was an awesome sitter for our dog! Being that this was the first time he was left with someone other than family, we were so appreciative of her communication and photos! A bonus was all the fur friends that she has so Dude, our dog, was always busy and getting lots of play in. Would highly recommend Bridget to anyone and will be keeping her in mind for future stays if we’re in town again.

This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After Biggie's last terrible experience at a boarding service, Mariah is here for the win! From the moment we arrived, Mariah was warm, gentle and welcoming. Of course she sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. My dog came home happy, exhausted from all the attention she received and clearly loved. You can tell Mariah truly loves animals, treats them like family and went the extra mile to make sure my pup felt right at home. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mercedes! This was our second time booking with her, and after our first experience, my mom even felt comfortable sending her puppy this time too. From the moment our dogs arrive, it’s obvious they are treated like part of the family. She takes them on plenty of walks, sends lots of pictures and updates, and truly gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Her whole family clearly loves having the dogs around, and it shows in the care and attention they receive. When we picked up our dog, she had even given her a bath, so she came home looking extra clean and happy! As if that wasn’t enough, she sent us home with the sweetest care package, complete with an adorable picture of our dog on the front. She consistently goes above and beyond in every way. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy. We never have to worry about whether our dog is being well cared for because we know she is in the best hands. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her in the future. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! ❤️

About: Although new to Rover, I have been pet sitting cats for many years. I provide daily drop ins to feed, clean litter box and spend quality time with my new furry friend. Cats are less stressed being at home versus a boarding facility while their owners are away. I will always treat every pet as if they were my own. My experience comes from my time spent working in the cat adoption room at PetSmart and working for 8 years in a veterinary office. I have references upon request.

About: I have had animals since I was a kid. We fostered kittens, dogs, and I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. My sister works at an animal shelter as well and has taught me many things to keep animals safe. I currently work full time so I typically am free at lunch, after work, and all weekends! I am flexible as well in the mornings. I am aware of all doors and locks. I make sure to ask specific questions regarding the needs of pets and what the owner needs such as check ins with photos, scooping cat litter, adjusting air, replenishing food and water, etc.

About: I have owned my own cats for 15 years now. They are constantly cuddled and pampered. My husband and I adopted our two dogs 10 years ago. They go on car rides with us, and long walks. They love chew toys, and bones. When I lived at home I took care of all of our senior pets. I was raised in a household where pets are family. I would take care of your animals like they were one of my own. I am a teacher full time, but I am available full time during the summers. I am around in the evenings during the school year. I can walk your dogs, let them out in a fenced yard, play with them, and give lots of cuddles. I also love cats and can scoop litter boxes, play with them, and give them cuddles.

About: The biggest thing that I believe sets me apart from other pet sitters is my knowledge of psychology and behavior which in turn allows me to connect and tend to the needs of animals. I have been told many times that I am the only stranger that their pet gets along with! I also am a part time caretaker for my grandfather. My responsibilities often include cleaning, shopping, and cooking. I really enjoy it. Lastly, I volunteered at a farm in Oregon for about 3 months back around early 2022. I was routinely in charge of many tasks relating to the care of animals including feeding chickens, cleaning the chicken coop, periodically moving cows to fresh pasture...etc. I am currently attending college online and work a part-time job. Taking care of animals on my own time works very well for me and I enjoy it a lot! I have been the primary owner of my 3 year old pug named Captain up until a year ago when I started to live with my grandfather to take care of him. Due to various factors, Captain now primarily stays at my parents' house (15 min away) which works out very well for everybody. I often have him over and also watch him at my parents' house when nobody is around. I take him out whenever he scratches at the door and take him on at least one walk a day. In between his meals I will give him snacks in exchange for tricks! That being said, if you are teaching your dog certain things, I would be glad to do my part in teaching as well! Last thing that I believe is very important would be cleaning off the paws with a towel after letting my dog outside when it’s muddy and wet outside.

My back yard has a privacy fence so people passing by will not disturb your pet as we play in the back yard. I have plenty of space inside and outside of my home. I also have a shaded patio for hot days!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I started working at a veterinarian clinic when I was in high school and eventually became a veterinary technician. My time working has allowed me to gain multiple skills from caring for senior animals to administering many different forms of medication. Whatever care your pet needs, I’ll be able to handle it! I am currently a student, so I am mainly free on the weekends. Depending on your location, week nights can possibly work for me as well! When I am with your pet, they will have my undivided attention. Whether they are a youngster who needs a lot of play time, or an older pet who just needs some extra cuddles. I have worked with a wide variety of sizes and types of animals so I can handle just about anything!

Danielle was wonderful! She responded quickly to our very last-minute request for doggy day care for our 3-year-old Cavachon, Cooper. We are in Florida for a month with our large family and needed a safe, happy place for Cooper to spend the day while we were doing a day long activity. Danielle's ability to take care of Cooper at the last minute, and to keep in touch with us throughout the day with updates and pictures made our day! He had fun and returned to us at days end, happy and tired. Thank you, Danielle!

Karen and Tom were great with my girl Xo. Their big yard is perfect for Xo and her excess energy! They kept me updated and sent photos and videos of Xo. I was very pleased with Xo’s overall stay. Xo normally doesn’t eat when staying in a new environment. However, Karen was able to get Xo to eat comfortably. Xo enjoyed her stay, she came back an happy girl. I feel very comfortable leaving Xo with Karen and Tom and would definitely recommend them!

About: I have had animals apart of my life since I was born! Although we do not currently own any pets since we love to travel we love taking part of pet sitting and dog walking! We started asking our neighbors if we could spend some time with their pups after seeing our son was scared of dogs as a simple way to help introduce him into the world of joy that comes with owning a dog. And throughout the process we got to meet so many different dogs and fell in love with learning all the different personalities and quirks each dog had. Since my fiancé and I both work from home we thought why not look into doing this more regularly! Which lead us to joining Rover! So here we are ready to help our neighbors with any of their pet needs! Looking forward to spoiling your fur babies! From my pack to yours, I can’t wait to hear from you! It's important to note that every pet is unique, and their individual needs may vary. Owners should tailor their routines to accommodate their pet's specific requirements, age, breed, and health conditions. Flexibility and adaptability are key to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your pet within your daily or weekly schedule. Initial consultation: Meet with the client to discuss their pet's routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions. Take note of emergency contact information and inform the client about your availability. Maintain the pet's routine: Stick to the pet's established schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication administration, if required. Consistency helps reduce stress for the pet. Safety and security: Ensure that the home is secure and that the pet cannot escape. Keep an eye out for potential hazards, such as open windows, toxic substances, or small objects that the pet could ingest. Exercise and play: Provide the pet with sufficient exercise and mental stimulation according to their needs. Take dogs for walks, engage them in play, or follow any specific exercise routines requested by the client. Food and water: Follow the client's instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions. Ensure that fresh water is always available. Monitoring and interaction: Spend quality time with the pet, offering companionship, affection, and socialization. Observe their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, reporting any concerns to the client.

Anthony did great with Leah. He snuggled with her and took her on a walk at the great trail by his complex. He was sensitive to her needs and kept me updated with photos throughout the day. I definitely recommend his services.

About: Hi! I’m Victoria. I grew up surrounded by cats, and 6 years ago my husband and I adopted Harley, our sweet little dog who completely stole our hearts. I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when someone else is caring for your fur baby. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give Harley. Whether your pet prefers playtime, cuddles, slow sniff-walks, or just gentle company, I’m here to match their needs and routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy at all times. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, playtime, and constant attention whenever needed. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide constant supervision during walks and visits.

About: We have grown up around cats and dogs. We are the go to pet sitters for our families and friends. We have experience with cats, dogs, snakes, turtles, fish, and ferrets. We have house trained our dogs and know the patience required with the process. We both work from home so we are able to take dogs out as needed and nothing is better on a work break then cuddling some fuzzies. We have a large fenced in yard,so dogs can safely run and play. We always stay outside with them. Inside the house is pet proofed with couch protection covers and scratching posts for cats. All kitty litter is gated off from dog access. Water bowls are available upstairs and downstairs. If we are outside for more than 15 minutes we also bring a water bowl outside.

About: ‼️Please read entirety of bio prior to sending a booking request Please note: My Rover profile information may not always be the most up to date, as I also own and operate my own pet care business - but I still get notifications here! Please message me so we can discuss your specific needs and availability! Hi, I’m Bee! I’m a medically retired police officer turned professional pet care provider. Pet care is my full-time work, not a side hobby. I take a calm, structured, safety-first approach and focus on low-stress care that allows pets to feel secure, respected, and comfortable. I have years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including seniors, rescues, anxious dogs, puppies, large breeds, and special-needs pets. ⸻ What I Offer • In-home dog boarding in a low-volume, structured environment • Structured dog daycare with supervised play and rest breaks • Drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, enrichment, and medications • Dog walks tailored to your dog’s comfort, energy level (must not pull heavily on leash) • Care for seniors, rescues, anxious, and special-needs dogs • Slow, intentional introductions and individualized care plans • Solo or one-on-one care options when appropriate for daycare and boarding • Real-time updates with plenty of photos and detailed written notes ‼️I do not provide boarding or daycare for cats, and I do not offer overnight stays in clients’ homes. ‼️Meet and Greets are mandatory to schedule any service. ‼️My two dogs, Trooper and Moose, will NOT be present for the meet and greet for boarding and daycare ‼️Dates are not reserved unless a deposit is prepaid in advance. ‼️Dogs must be crate trained to stay at Bee’s Bed and Barkfast daycare and boarding. This is a non negotiable for safety, feeding, rest and safe transitions. ‼️Boarding can be booked anytime, as long as the dates are within the next 3 months. I do not book out more than 3 months in advance. I am available generally anytime between sunrise and sunset. Due to a vision disability, I may occasionally need to adjust timing on very rainy days, and I do not drive after dark. If weather requires a schedule shift, I’ll always communicate in advance and ensure your pet still receives attentive, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I provide intentional, structured care designed to reduce stress, prevent issues before they happen, and create a calm, predictable experience for both pets and owners. This applies whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or in mine. How I care for pets & homes: • Safety-first, prevention-focused handling at all times • Calm routines that prioritize rest, enrichment, and emotional regulation • Respectful care of your home… clean, secure, and exactly how you left it • Doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions double-checked every visit • Clear, proactive communication so you’re never left wondering how things are going Boarding & Daycare Environment: • Low-volume, home-based care, not a brick and mortar storefront or warehouse-style daycare • Structured daycare with supervised interactions and enforced rest breaks • Slow, intentional introductions tailored to each dog’s comfort level • Solo or one-on-one care available for dogs who need space or prefer independence at an increased rate • Crate training mandatory to ensure smooth transitions and safety How I differ from other sitters: • I do not force interactions or “let dogs work it out” • I do not overbook or rotate large groups of unfamiliar dogs • I do not take a one-size-fits-all approach Instead, I focus on individualized care, clear boundaries, and calm structure, the kind of environment where dogs can truly settle, decompress, and feel secure.

About: My first job in high school was working at a dog day care/boarding facility! I worked there for a little over 2 years before I went to college. I learned a lot about dog behavior, grooming, and overall care for dogs. Before I was able to get a job when I was younger I would walk my neighbors’ dogs. I also grew up with Labrador Retrievers and currently my family has a 6 year old black lab named Tanner! I’m currently a college student on summer break so my availability is very open! I also work at green garden country club so occasionally I will be busy. I have always loved animals but especially dogs. I loved growing up with dogs, birds, and fish. As someone who has worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, I have hands on experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels! I love making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of updates and photos so you can feel relaxed.

Bridgitt was excellent. She made a trip over to our home to meet us and Fozzie. She is delightful and we all felt so comfortable with her. Fozzie took to her right away. She took notes and was all prepared to come back later and walk Fozzie! She kept us informed, letting us know when she arrived, where they walked, how often he peed, and sent us pics! We were so impressed. We highly recommend Bridgitt and we will have her again.

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of cats, dogs, and exotic pets my whole life. I’ve been responsible for bathing, walking, giving them food and water, scooping litter boxes, clipping nails, and everything else your pet will need since I could walk. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family before, overnight or just for a check-in. I love spending time with my animals and I hope I get to meet yours too! I’m currently a student at USC, go Gamecocks! On MWF, my classes end at 2 so I am free anytime after that. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little more spread out, however I should be able to stop in almost whenever to watch your pet! I am totally free on the weekends and can do anything but boarding your pet. Back at my house, I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings if I am outside, watching for other dogs, cars, other animals, or people. I will carry this same caution when taking care of your animals, whether in the home or outside of it!

I have quite a bit of free time during the day and would be more than happy to spend it looking after your cat or dog :) I live on five acres with a fenced-in backyard, plenty of space for dogs to be outside and run around and play. They're favorite on a nice day, just soaking up the sun!

Alyssa’s bf, Drew, was an excellent dog walker for my dog! I requested an hour walk but he was m unable to due to time constrains so he offered to run with my dog during the 30 mins they spent together. Drew was on time, communicative, and took great care of my pup. It was unfortunate that he had to leave the city for work for a couple of months but I’d book them again!!

About: The biggest thing that I believe sets me apart from other pet sitters is my knowledge of psychology and behavior which in turn allows me to connect and tend to the needs of animals. I have been told many times that I am the only stranger that their pet gets along with! I also am a part time caretaker for my grandfather. My responsibilities often include cleaning, shopping, and cooking. I really enjoy it. Lastly, I volunteered at a farm in Oregon for about 3 months back around early 2022. I was routinely in charge of many tasks relating to the care of animals including feeding chickens, cleaning the chicken coop, periodically moving cows to fresh pasture...etc. I am currently attending college online and work a part-time job. Taking care of animals on my own time works very well for me and I enjoy it a lot! I have been the primary owner of my 3 year old pug named Captain up until a year ago when I started to live with my grandfather to take care of him. Due to various factors, Captain now primarily stays at my parents' house (15 min away) which works out very well for everybody. I often have him over and also watch him at my parents' house when nobody is around. I take him out whenever he scratches at the door and take him on at least one walk a day. In between his meals I will give him snacks in exchange for tricks! That being said, if you are teaching your dog certain things, I would be glad to do my part in teaching as well! Last thing that I believe is very important would be cleaning off the paws with a towel after letting my dog outside when it’s muddy and wet outside.

About: I have had animals apart of my life since I was born! Although we do not currently own any pets since we love to travel we love taking part of pet sitting and dog walking! We started asking our neighbors if we could spend some time with their pups after seeing our son was scared of dogs as a simple way to help introduce him into the world of joy that comes with owning a dog. And throughout the process we got to meet so many different dogs and fell in love with learning all the different personalities and quirks each dog had. Since my fiancé and I both work from home we thought why not look into doing this more regularly! Which lead us to joining Rover! So here we are ready to help our neighbors with any of their pet needs! Looking forward to spoiling your fur babies! From my pack to yours, I can’t wait to hear from you! It's important to note that every pet is unique, and their individual needs may vary. Owners should tailor their routines to accommodate their pet's specific requirements, age, breed, and health conditions. Flexibility and adaptability are key to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your pet within your daily or weekly schedule. Initial consultation: Meet with the client to discuss their pet's routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions. Take note of emergency contact information and inform the client about your availability. Maintain the pet's routine: Stick to the pet's established schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication administration, if required. Consistency helps reduce stress for the pet. Safety and security: Ensure that the home is secure and that the pet cannot escape. Keep an eye out for potential hazards, such as open windows, toxic substances, or small objects that the pet could ingest. Exercise and play: Provide the pet with sufficient exercise and mental stimulation according to their needs. Take dogs for walks, engage them in play, or follow any specific exercise routines requested by the client. Food and water: Follow the client's instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions. Ensure that fresh water is always available. Monitoring and interaction: Spend quality time with the pet, offering companionship, affection, and socialization. Observe their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, reporting any concerns to the client.

About: I've owned a cat for 10 years now and in those years I taught her how to sit and high five. I also grew up with animals in my household since I was born. I've sitted my grandpas dog for a week at his house while he was away and took care of my moms dog for a weekend. I also volunteered at a few shelters, the most recent one being NAWS. I just got a new job so my schedule for January is currently unknown. They still need to get back on me for the date that ill start but itll be 5 days a week for 8 hours a day when it does. While I'm at the client's home I would treat their pets as if they were my own. In my household I always make sure to spend as my time with my cat as I can. With my cat I fill up her bowl and when it gets low I usually fill it once more, this is because she doesn't eat much in a day and never finishes. If the client has a certain feeding schedule I would make sure to feed the animal at the times the client requires. With a dog I would take them on walks atleast twice a day, if the client doesn't have a yard or has a certain walk schedule for their animal I would take them on as many walks as needed. With cats depending on how long the client is gone I will make sure the litter is cleaned once a day and replace it every week.

About: Hi, my name is april and i am 19 years old and have been a huge animal lover since i was a child. I am new to this app which is why I don’t have reviews, but i do have a lot of dog and cat experience! I own 2 chihuahuas & a doberman so i have experience with all dogs sizes as well as have had a cat in the past. I have dog and cat sat for friends and family for years. every year around spring break time i animal sit my aunt’s 3 dogs and cat and have done so for the last 5 years! I love animals more than anything and would love to pet sit, walk or do potty breaks for your dog or cat! Your dog or cat is in good paws :) I am a part time starbucks barista but don’t start work for 2 more weeks, and even then my shifts will be short so I am almost always available, depending on my schedule for the week I can put your dog in crate if needed, long walks, feed, give medicine if needed, clean out liter boxes for cats, provide play time and anything else your pup or cat needs. I experience with senior age dogs as well as puppies, dogs that have just gotten surgery and need to special care, and disabled dogs

I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.

Bridget was an awesome sitter for our dog! Being that this was the first time he was left with someone other than family, we were so appreciative of her communication and photos! A bonus was all the fur friends that she has so Dude, our dog, was always busy and getting lots of play in. Would highly recommend Bridget to anyone and will be keeping her in mind for future stays if we’re in town again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After Biggie's last terrible experience at a boarding service, Mariah is here for the win! From the moment we arrived, Mariah was warm, gentle and welcoming. Of course she sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. My dog came home happy, exhausted from all the attention she received and clearly loved. You can tell Mariah truly loves animals, treats them like family and went the extra mile to make sure my pup felt right at home. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mercedes! This was our second time booking with her, and after our first experience, my mom even felt comfortable sending her puppy this time too. From the moment our dogs arrive, it’s obvious they are treated like part of the family. She takes them on plenty of walks, sends lots of pictures and updates, and truly gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Her whole family clearly loves having the dogs around, and it shows in the care and attention they receive. When we picked up our dog, she had even given her a bath, so she came home looking extra clean and happy! As if that wasn’t enough, she sent us home with the sweetest care package, complete with an adorable picture of our dog on the front. She consistently goes above and beyond in every way. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy. We never have to worry about whether our dog is being well cared for because we know she is in the best hands. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her in the future. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! ❤️

I will 1000% use Meaghan again. She accepted my dog into her home and treated her like she was part of the family. From family outings, to walks, to hanging out with her and her children, my dog was always included. I love that she sends morning updates with pictures. Being able to see that she is calm and comfortable with Meaghan and her family is very reassuring. My dog is very anxious, especially when we go out of town, and tends not to eat when we are gone. Meaghan was consistent and patient with her and finally was able to get her to eat on the 2nd or 3rd day.
