First time using Rover and I couldn’t be more happy with the entire experience. Jordan is absolutely amazing! If you are looking for a fun, safe place for your pups and peace of mind, I highly recommend putting your trust in Jordan. She shared updated throughout the stay and both my dogs were very well taken care of and

This is my first time using Rover or any pet service. We met Cathy with my dog Jenni ahead of her stay-over which made it a familiar experience when she went for boarding. Cathy is very caring and great with animals and I have already scheduled another stay for my dog with her for a work trip. Thank you!

We were very anxious boarding the pup for the first time. We did a meet and greet, then a test daycare day - both of those went very well, then we went ahead with the week of boarding. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Nancy and Mark took great care of her. The next time we need to her to be taken care of while we are gone, we will definitely be working with Nancy and Mark.

Janis and family did a fantastic job in making my dog, Cubbie, feel welcomed and well taken care of. I received daily photos in which I could tell that she was happy and enjoying her stay, unlike the times I took her to an Animal Hospital for boarding. I highly recommend Janis if you are looking for a great stay for your fur baby!!!

Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.

We will definitely use her service in the future. Giannina comes highly recommended.

I am so glad I met Joy and Dan through here! Our regular sitter had to cancel last minute due to being sick and with only a days notice they were able to set up a same day meet and greet. I left their feeling more then confident about them and dropped off my boxer Lola the next day. Within seconds of us dropping off I got an adorable picture of Lola getting belly rubs from her children, she was definitely in doggy heaven. We recieved a couple more pictures throughout her stay and my mind was definitely put at ease and I knew she was in great hands. They will definitely be my go to sitters from now on and I highly recommend them! Thanks Joy and Dan!

My little Delilah felt right at home when we had our Meet and Greet. I had no concerns about leaving her with Madelyn after that. She was still excited to see me when I picked her up, but not so excited that I worried she wanted to leave and had a bad time. I have no doubts that Delilah was well cared for while I was away!!

What can I say about Natasha..... we absolutely loved her!!!! This was the 1st time we were away from Denim since we adopted him in May. He's so skittish around new people we were afraid to leave him anywhere. Natasha assured me he'd be in great hands and boy was she right. She spoiled him and loved on him just as we would have. She was available last minute (3hrs before on a holiday weekend) which wad so great. We met at her home and stayed for about 15-20mins until Denim felt comfortable and let her give him belly rubs. She was super patient and didn't mind me checking in on him. She even provided me some photos of him relaxing like he took over her home. I'm super thankful for all she did and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trusting person to care for their fur baby. I can't wait to contact her again in the future ??

Top tier Rover. Emily is always saving me in a tight spot and taking care of my kitty, Nyx, during my ultra last minute holiday plans or emergencies. She’s very communicative and follows pet care instructions to a T, she’s saved my ass twice in a bind and I have no complaints especially since my baby is fed and a little less lonely while I’m away. You’re in good hands if you choose Emily.

Laylani came to us at a very difficult time. We had taken in a kitten unexpectedly that was very, very ill. We had a trip scheduled that we could not cancel, and the kitten needed daily feedings and medications. Laylani came every day at the same time to administer the medications and feed her. We are happy to say that the kitten is well on her way to being completely recovered. This would not have possible without her hard work. I gave her five stars because that's all the system allows, but there's not enough stars in heavens to show how much we appreciated the work that she did. If you need someone who is responsible and hardworking to care for your pet you can't do better than Laylani.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love all breeds. We truly don’t deserve them. My soul dog, Abo, passed away 1.5 years ago and I have been watching and walking dogs for extra money ever since. I’m a college professor working a very flexible schedule and I’d love to walk or watch your dog! I live on the east side of Beverly Shores and also have a place in the city 🌆. I’m down to house sit or watch them at my place. I have local references and would love to meet your dog if I haven’t already 😊 I’m teaching part-time this term, so I have plenty of time to walk your dogs, give them some love, tell them they are good dogs, get some fresh air, exercise and sunshine. ☀️ When I board a dog it is all about them! They are basically on vacation having the best time and getting all the attention and affection they want. 🙂

About: We have always had pets (Mostly Dogs) growing up and have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us. We are the type of people that animals (Fur Babies) just feel at ease with. From the smallest of toy and lap dogs to the much larger Great Danes and Mastiffs. We will always get along, even the dog that nobody can handle and scares them. My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected. We truly believe that your Dogs and/or Cats should and will be treated just you would. Thanks, Between my wife and I we are essentially available 24/7. And hope to accommodate any ones schedule. Our routine will be scheduled around whatever is needed We have a full half acre completely fenced in (Wooden privacy fence). And of course whatever it is you and your dogs like enjoy we will accommodate.

About: Your sweeties are in caring hands 💛 ✅ Experience with pets of all ages & personalities. ✅ Work from home: Attentive to strict care plan. ✅ Happy to assist with training/manners 🐾. As a pet owner of 35 years and a life-long animal lover, I’ve cared for my own puppies, kittens, and elderly pets over the years. Their quirky personalities have brought nothing but joy to our home! I’ve also cared for exotic littles such as snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters, gerbils, chameleons, ferrets, parakeets, Sun Conure Parrots and farm animals (chickens, pigs, horses, “farm sitting”)! Don’t hesitate to ask if you need additional help. We have 2 dogs of our own: One loves to socialize and play with our guests, while the other usually searches for the sunniest window in the house, to nap until the next potty/treat break. Working from home allows me to be attentive to strict potty/medication and walk/play schedules (if your pet is in need of a regimented care plan). I offer drop-in play dates, walks, back-yard potty/play dates and feeding/litter changes, based upon your instruction. I’m also able to host your pets in my home, if you need a sitter. Before booking boarding services with new clients, I request a meet & greet, so that I can get to know everyone and have a clear understanding of your pet’s personality and needs 😁!

About: Got a cavalier when kids left 20 years ago and have been in love with and taken care of pups for family and friends ever since! I work part time as a sub at a local school lunchroom. Consequently, I have a good deal of time to do what I enjoy most, spending time with and caring for pups!! (and on occasion, cats!) I live in a lovely neighborhood with a nice balance of open space and paths for walks. My husband (also a dog lover) and I have a fenced yard and pup bowls and leashes and toys and even a small crate (from Harley) if your pup feels better taking a nap in it! (and he fits!)

About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.

Angela was super nice and welcomed Benny in like her own. He seemed super happy when I picked him up! He usually gets anxiety when he is separated from me and tends to act out the rest of the day, but he has been his normal self all day since I picked him up from her! She took him for multiple walks and let him get lots of energy out! 5 stars and I will definitely be using Angela again!

About: I have experience caring for all types of animals: dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, etc. You name it, I can care for it! Whatever your needs may be, your pets will be in great hands! I plan to devote all of my time and effort into ensuring your animals get all of their needs met, whether you have a high energy pup who needs lots of stimulation or just a chill baby who wants to cuddle on the couch.

I have 3 cats who are very used to all other animals but can easily be put up if your animal doesn't like cats.

About: I’m new to Rover, but a lifelong dog lover. My first best friend was a yellow Lab named Candy, who slept at the foot of my bed every night. Today, I share my life with two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers who are truly my fur babies. I’m a mom to two teenage daughters and a small business owner in Chesterton. I’m very active and regularly take my own dogs on long walks and runs at Coffee Creek, so I’m happy to walk, jog, or play with your pup—or stop by for cuddles and treats while you’re at work. I’ve volunteered with animal shelters over the years and am pet CPR certified, so your dog will always be in caring, capable hands! Im a small business owner that is primarily weekend based, this leaves me a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to give your pets reliable exercise and attentive care and on a regular basis if needed. I am happy to check in with your dogs or cats, feed, cuddle and give them anything needed during a visit. I’m responsible and mature.

Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.

I am so glad I met Joy and Dan through here! Our regular sitter had to cancel last minute due to being sick and with only a days notice they were able to set up a same day meet and greet. I left their feeling more then confident about them and dropped off my boxer Lola the next day. Within seconds of us dropping off I got an adorable picture of Lola getting belly rubs from her children, she was definitely in doggy heaven. We recieved a couple more pictures throughout her stay and my mind was definitely put at ease and I knew she was in great hands. They will definitely be my go to sitters from now on and I highly recommend them! Thanks Joy and Dan!

Tonisa was an awesome sitter for Koda. This was Koda’s first time being away from us for such a long period of time so i was apprehensive but after meeting Tonisa I felt at ease. During Koda’s stay, Tonisa sent frequent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!

This was my first time using Rover and I'm glad I found Jesseeka. She was very responsive and sent us photos and updates. When we picked up Bella, she was super excited and I can tell she loved Jesseeka. I will definitely use Jesseeka's services again. Thank you so much.

Angelique was wonderful to our little meatloaf while we were out of the country. She sent us many photos and kept us updated on anything new. We will definitely go with Angelique if we need a dog sitter in the future.

E K. Was amazing. She took the best care of my baby and also was so good at making me feel at ease as this was my first time leaving my baby. I would recommend her 100 times over. She would provide daily updates and photo of my baby and always made sure that I knew he was well cared for.

April is great! Our dog is shy at first but April and her pack made him feel at home. She spent quality one on one time with him and I’m so appreciative of that! She is a phenomenal dog sitter and we’re definitely going to use her pet sitting services again! Thanks for everything April!

This is the second time Harper has stayed with Bola - she is amazing with him. Whenever I drop him off, he just forgets about me. She's super attentive, ask questions when she's unsure, and checks in enough to give me comfort. Would return asap!

Sheree is an amazing dog sitter. I was in a bind because I needed someone to take care of my mom's dog while she was in the hospital. I found Sheree and she was a life saver. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos of how my mom's dog was doing. She did an amazing job of taking care of him. My family will definitely be using Sheree again. I cannot thank her enough
