“Anabela was at my house over the holidays and dropped in on my 3 cats twice a day. This was my first experience with Anabela and she was AMAZING!! I have OCD so I am very detailed about everything. She followed my instructions to a tee! She communicated effectively and provided great pictures. My cats loved her and so do I. I highly recommend Anabela for your pets.”

“Amara was so kind and helped watch my cat at the last minute! She always spends time with her and sends lots of cute update photos and videos. 🩷 I trust her to look out for Nyx!”
About: While I love all animals, cats hold a truly special place in my heart💛. As a dedicated cat owner myself, I know they need a very specific kind of care that goes way beyond just filling a bowl. I speak "fluent cat" and excel at reading their body language—knowing exactly when they want an enriching play session or when they just need some quiet company and space. From pristine litter boxes to respecting their unique boundaries, I treat your feline royalty with the specialized attention they deserve.
“First time using the Rover service and our first time away from our pet for such a long duration. Franki was an excellent communicator, went above and beyond spending her time with our dog in his own home so he would be comfortable, and we're so thankful for her! Great experience and our new go-to option if we need to travel!”
“Alicia was wonderful to work with. Gita absolutely loved her and Brad, and staying in their home for 10 days without ever feeling lonely gave me tremendous peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of my girls. I received a picture every day and that reassured me that the girls were doing okay. I will definitely be having Taylor watch my girls again!”
“Logan was great to work with, flexible and patient while listening to my complicated instructions! She was very responsive every time I sent a message. She walked, played with, and cuddled my cat, and kept all 31 houseplants looking great over my extended vacation. Will definitely call her again. Thanks, Logan!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Collins
“Lyndsey did a great job with our dog, Daisy! The pictures she provided were super cute and it felt good to know that someone was watching her while I was at work and my husband was away. I will definitely re-book with her should we need doggy daycare in the future!”
“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”
“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter. This is my dog’s first time with a sitter and he’s very happy in her home. He’s a little “special needs”. We talked them through before his first visit, and she was willing to learn the best practices to set him up for success. We plan to use her services again soon!”
About: For the past 9 years, I have been a dedicated dog owner, providing a loving home filled with care, affection, and attention. My experience includes participating in a variety of dog training classes, such as obedience, agility, and dock diving. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality and responds differently to people, requiring patience, understanding, and tailored care. Currently available anytime after 5:30pm Monday through Friday… and every weekend. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible so you never fall without care. Security is top of mind for your home and mine. Making sure they know wherever they are is a safe space for playing and fun.
About: Hi I’m Hannah, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to a German Shepherd! With over 10 years of experience caring for family and friends pets and 2 years working at an animal boarding facility. I can’t wait to meet your pet :) I work a full time night shift job so I am home during the day. My sister works first shift so she is home during the night so no pets will be left alone :) I’m flexible during the day so walking and pet sitting are available as well! When caring for pets in my home, I treat it like their second home, making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to playtime, ensuring they get the attention and care they’re used to. I ensure your pet feels calm with unfamiliar surroundings. I’m there to give them all the love they need while you’re away!
“Alicia is AMAZING! She was wonderful at communicating throughout the day and sent the BEST pictures! She was willing to deal with the craziness that comes with a young puppy, and Fig came home content and sleepy! We are so lucky to have found her!”
“Heather was very welcoming and great with the girls. She took time to get to know them and spent most of her time with them. They loved her baby bunny smelling back yard. I would definitely take them back.”
“Hank absolutely loved being with Amara and the other pups. We received tons of pictures updating us of his stay. We’ll certainly ask her to watch Hank again whenever we need it.”
About: I have owned dogs for most of my life, usually rescues from the pound until I fell in love with the keeshond breed. I have handled everything from 2 month old puppies to senior dogs. Hello. My name is Diana. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 dogs of my own (a friendly but old lady 10 yr old Bischon Frise and a goofy, very active 10 month old Keeshond. I am willing to work with many different personalities and will cater to your dog’s specific needs. Rest assured that I will treat your dogs like they are part of my own family. I live in a clean, smoke free home with plenty of room for your furr baby to stretch their paws and have a good time. If they enjoy the outdoors im just a 10 minute walk to The Pufferbelly Trail. I will provide regular updates and focus on creating a safe, fun environment for every dog, ensuring they get tailored attention and enrichment. I'm excited to meet you and your furry friend! I have everything needed to take care of both puppies and elderly dogs. A large home with lots of space both inside and outside and plenty of toys for them to enjoy!
About: I have experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, from puppies to senior and those with special needs. I previously had a small blind incontinent senior terrier who has since gone over the rainbow bridge, so I understand the extra patience and attention required to make them feel comfortable. I have also raised and house-trained two puppies into adulthood, who are still with my family today! One of them is a unique mix of Belgian Malinois, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute, and Rottweiler (Try saying that five times fast!). We had his DNA tested, so we can now confidently confirm his impressive mutt status. His high energy and intelligence required consistent training and socialization. After raising him, it's safe to say that I'm comfortable with puppy routines, basic obedience training, and how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs. What sets me apart is that I take the time to understand each dog's routine, personality and comfort level so they receive the best care that fits their individual needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an active adult, or a gentle senior, I will provide the best and reliable care while you are away. I am currently homebound so your fur baby will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby so having a temporary walking companion would be great therapy! In my home, your dog will be family. I follow each dog's routine, including feedings times/medications, and any special care instructions provided by the owner. I keep leashes and harnesses ready by the door so dogs are always secured before any potty breaks or walk. If a dog wants to just sunbathe outside, I also have a stake and tie out, so no fence, no problem! To help prevent accidents, stairs and basement access are blocked off at all times, and rooms remain closed. All interactions between dogs will be supervised and there will never be any forced introductions. If a dog needs time to decompress or prefers their own space, I have multiple safe options available, including an end-table crate in the main living area so they can remain close by while I relax, a standard metal crate, and a dedicated quiet room for dogs that may become overwhelmed or simply need a break.
About: Hello! I am an active pet rescue volunteer ready to care for your pet. Snuggles, playtime, and photos are guaranteed! I feel like I have the best job in the world because I get to meet and care for all kinds of species and breeds, like my very own personal menagerie! I truly look forward to meeting you and providing your furry family members with the extra special care and attention they deserve while you are away. 😊 Trust me, when I say your pet is special to me. My schedule is flexible, so I am available to drop in for a visit in the morning, before work, after work, and/or again in the evening. As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away. It's completely normal for your pet to feel restless during the first couple of days and evenings. This behavior can vary based on each pet's background, and I understand that it is to be expected. I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.

“This was my first time using Rover and it could not have gone any better! Agnatha was extremely responsive. She allowed us to do a meet and greet and also a short trial run before Bobby’s first day with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos for reassurance.

About: I have been around dogs since the day I was born, and my family has always had at least two dogs in our family at all times! I have also always been a trusted source when it comes to watching family, friends, and neighbors' animals! For example, I have watched puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, fish, and even guinea pigs. Two of my own dogs are Leader Dogs for the blind moms, so I have experience with all different kinds of situations and ages when it comes to dogs. I also have experience with elder dogs as I have had 4 dogs pass from old age and have experience with health problems in dogs as well. I currently do not have a job so I am available any day at any time. I do have a prior commitment from July 23rd-27th and I leave for college at the end of August. I have a ton of experience when it comes to safety and caring for pets. My dogs go outside with a leash on, especially during walks. If there is a fence for the pets to use I will keep my eyes on them at all times, because no one ever knows what can happen. I have experience with putting pets into a crate or cage if necessary.
About: Since I was 9 years old, I have been responsible for taking care of my own pets as well as those of my neighbors. This includes dog walking and pet sitting. I’m in college and available on Sundays, Mondays through Wednesday. Other days will vary, but I’m always happy to walk and pet sit according to your pet's specific needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. In both my home and clients' homes, I ensure pets are well-supervised, loved, and in a secure space.
About: Since I was a child I have been around dogs and cats. They are always part of the family not just a pet. All pets will be treated like they are my own and I will give them love and attention. I currently have 3 small dogs that I have raised since puppies. I also have experience with walking and sitting large dogs for family. Whether they are puppies/kittens or senior cats/dogs I will take care of them and treat them with love and care. My days are usually split up between myself and my wife taking care of our dogs. We keep them on a schedule with feedings and trying to take them out as much as possible. I am always willing to walk dogs and keep any routine or schedule needed for them. Taking care of dogs is a daily routine for me. I have 3 dachshund that I split time with my wife taking care of them. We love to take them outside and either play with them or go for walks. They are like children to us and will always see them that way. Keeping up feeding schedules and potty time is always a must to keep them full and happy.
“I had a last minute need for a dog walker and Alydia was extremely accommodating! My pup, Maximus, had an immediate liking to her so that says enough! I received tons of photos from their walk which set my mind at ease knowing he was in great hands! I would highly recommend Alydia and will be having her walk my pup again!”
About: I am a loving mother of 2 and I will care for your pets as if they were one of the kids. I have dog sit before and loved it. When I was younger I use to volunteer at the animal shelter with my great-grandma and that's the reason I love animals today. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. I currently work at a nursing home, my boyfriend and I work opposite schedules so someone is always at home with your fur babies. Also with it being summer I have my two kiddos help out. I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!

“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”
“Alexander & Jaycee were absolutely incredible and took phenomenal care of my dog. They have a lovely home and perfect yard for exactly what my dog needs / is used to. And my dog actually became friends with their dogs (shout out to Stormy)! I would highly encourage anyone looking to let them take care of your pup! I’ll certainly be a repeat customer 😊.”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 8. I love all animals but especially dogs. I’m an RN but in my free time I love being outdoors and going for walks. I work part time. So I have plenty of free time to spend with your beloved pets. I love going for walks and being active outdoor I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I have the sweetest lab to keep your fur baby company with playing or napping.
“Absolutely loved her!!!! She was so welcoming with my dog! She would keep me updated on my dog! And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”
“Wai was amazing! She took a lot of care to ask lots of questions to best accommodate our dog, sent us daily updates and photos, and far exceeded what was expected! I will be using her from now on”
“This was the first time I used Rover, Alicia was great! I went on vacation and had to leave my senior Lab mix Sugiebear behind for the first time. She is 12 yrs old and has some health issues. Alicia's home is very neat and was accommodating to my Sugiebear 's needs. Alicia took great care of her and sent me pics and updates everyday. I also had car trouble coming home which caused me to be late picking Sugiebear up, Alicia was very understanding. I will definitely be using Alicia again and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Many thanks”
“Millie and her family made sure my two cats were comfortable and safe for our week long trip! When I miscalculated how much wet food they needed Millie took care of it and updated me afterwards in her daily check in so I didn’t have to worry at all! When I came to pick up, everything was packed and ready to go and the cats were safely in their carriers — which I know is extremely difficult to do. (Even the vets have trouble doing this!) thank you Millie!”
