“This was my first time using Rover, and Alejandra was great with our Bernese Mountain Dog. She communicated well, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that our pet was in good hands. I would definitely use her service again!”

“Our dog Daisy was very well cared for. This was her first time being away from family and she took to Bree and her husband right away at the meet and greet. That initial interaction was very comforting. We'd love to have Bree sit for Daisy again!”
“Josie is so welcoming to our boxer girl & myself when I drop her off. She sends pictures while you are away if you would like them. The pictures warm my heart. She knows how much I miss her while gone. She communicates very well & is so nice. She is always ready when you come to pick up. Has everything packed, doggie fed & let out to potty before arriving. Thank you for loving them while we can’t.”
“I boarded my dog Enzo with Michele for about a week. I received daily updates with photos letting me know how he was doing. Michele treated him like her own pet. If and when I need a sitter in the future we will be contacting Michele. She is reasonably priced and close by. Thanks again.”
“Jennifer was very accommodating & we made a last minute booking & got the meet in greet in to make sure her doggies & ours was compatible. She welcomed us with open arms & let our dog check things out & then meet her doggie. Our dog felt comfortable & so did I & the doggies had the same energy level as ours is a boxer. Well they played & played. Loved the picture updates & video. They loved our dog like their own. She could sit on the couch with them & even sat on their laps. The fence in yard makes you feel at ease & took daily walks. We will be back. Thanks for loving our doggie & making it a stress free time away.”
“Alexia was very good at keeping us updated on our dogs stay with her. She was considerate to ask what would make our dogs stay successful and did these things. I would highly recommend and use her again”

“Great 1st experience for my Teddy and I. I’m so pleased with the care my boy received! This was our first time actually hiring a dog sitter and it was flawless, such a wonderful experience with Catherine. From beginning to end, she made everything so easy and comforting for my dog and I!”

“Marcia was an exceptional dog sitter during my time away. She consistently provided updates, sharing pictures of my dogs throughout the day. Her flexibility in accommodating various aspects of their stay was greatly appreciated. Marcia's kindness and attentiveness were evident, and she kept me well-informed at all times. My two pups were thoroughly worn out from playing with her and her dog, which speaks to the level of care and attention they received. I highly recommend Marcia for any pet sitting needs!”

About: Hi, I'm Jaela! I’m an elementary school teacher, and animals of all ages and sizes have been the absolute center of my world for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by a wide variety of animals, which taught me from a very young age how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide compassionate, patient care. Throughout high school and college, I regularly watched and walked dogs and cats. I love house sitting because it allows your pets to stay completely relaxed in their own environment while maintaining their exact daily routines. I come from a family of veterinarians, so I grew up immersed in the world of animal health, safety, and care.
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals of all kinds from energetic puppies to senior dogs, barn cats, and even livestock. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide gentle, consistent care. I also picked up a lot of practical skills, including how to support animals through stress, illness, or injury. Whether your dog needs extra patience, a structured routine, or just some good old-fashioned love and playtime, I’ve got them covered. I truly understand animals and I treat every pet like part of the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or keeping a routine for feeding and medication, I naturally build my day around what pets need. I’m used to adjusting my schedule to fit each animal’s routine whether it’s a puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who needs a slower pace. Pet care isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether I’m in my home or yours. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like meds or crate training. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a clean and calm environment.
About: I have always had a passion for animals. I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a child. It's always been a love of mine and I want to be able to share my love with other animals as well. You can rest assure your beloved animal will be cared for when you leave them with me. I currently work a full time job. I would be able to care for your pet in the afternoons and weekends currently. I am hoping to be able to open up my schedule more in the future. I can use a leash/harness that you have available to walk your animal or let them outside if needed. I will pay close attention to them and assess whatever they may need.
“Lila provided exceptional care for my three cats, each with completely different personalities and care routines. She was consistently reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail, giving me total peace of mind while I was away. Her thorough daily updates and detailed notes showed how genuinely invested she was in their well-being. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be more impressed. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.”
“I really appreciate Devin’s availability and willingness to respond to me when I blew up her phone ;) I literally could not find a pet sitter in this area that would respond to me. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs, and so it was nice to have someone who responded so quickly. (On a semi-unrelated note to pet sitting, she also took really cute pictures of my dogs which was helpful to my daughter while we were gone).”
“Michelle was awesome! She is very genuine and loves animals. She took great care of our kitty Hazel. She completed all of the visits as planned and sent great images and messages about the visit. She made our first experience with Rover a great one! We will request her again!”
About: While I have never had a cat of my own, I have lots of love for them! I have experience with feeding, administering medication, litter box cleaning, etc. I also know cats usually develop their own little preferences and routines. With that being said, I know my organizational skills and attention to detail would come in handy. In my experience in pet and child care, I care for them like they are my own! ❤️
“Bree is absolutely the best for our cats. She takes care of them, and stayed with mine and every cat has been happy. The house was well taken care of and I would recommend her to anyone who has pets that will need them cared for like you would do yourself. 5 stars!”
“I booked a 15 day drop in for my three pets. He was great with all of them and even cared for the living room when my pets made a mess while I am gone. I would definitely recommend booking him for your pet sitting needs. He cared for the pets perfectly even when there was slow communication due to time difference being on a trip overseas. I never had to worry even when there was a time difference since he always updated with communication even when I couldn’t reply right away. I will definitely book him again if possible when I go on my next trip.”
“Morgan was great as always! She took great care of our fur babies. She even cleaned out the food dishes when they were empty. Love having her come take care of our babies.”
About: I was born into a family of pet lovers. We have had a wide array of pets in our home-cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and more. I have become my church and friends' go-to pet sitter for years. I not only provide the love and care that pets need, I am also a licensed pet massage therapist, so your pet will get extra love! I am self-employed, so my schedule varies and is very open for providing top notch pet care. My day is better when I am able to provide love and care for animals! I provide pet care in your home and am able to work with your pet(s) specific needs and schedules. I want them to feel as unaffected by your absence as possible!
“If I could leave ten stars I would. Halle is simply the most intuitive, most attentive, and most caring sitters that my two cats have had the pleasure of spending time with. I cannot recommend Halle more favorably!”

“Stephanie did great watching our pup. We needed a sitter last minute and she was quick to respond & help out. She took Harley on a walk and sent us update pics. Harley was exhausted when she got home which is not an easy thing to do, so she must have had fun. We will definitely be using Stephanie again.”

About: I have experience caring for both large and small dogs, including a 2-year-old Great Dane and a pit bull mix puppy. Through this, I have developed strong skills in handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My dogs are well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around both people and other animals, which reflects my commitment to proper care and positive interaction. As a stay-at-home parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I am available to supervise, engage in play, and ensure dogs receive regular outdoor time and exercise as needed. Your pet will have constant companionship and a safe, well-monitored environment while in my care. I maintain a consistent routine to support each dog’s comfort and well-being. In warmer weather, I provide outdoor breaks approximately every two hours, allowing time for exercise and play. Dogs also receive regular indoor play and engagement. In my home, pets are typically allowed to remain out of the crate, promoting a relaxed and comfortable environment while still ensuring their safety and supervision.

I’m a runner who loves the outdoors so a walk or run with your dogs sounds like a great summer day. I’m currently working part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets! I’m a runner and love everything outside so a walk or run with your dog sounds like a great way to spend my afternoons! I don’t have any other pets at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but can keep them on a long leash if that is necessary. I only work for a few hours a day so your dog will spend most of it’s time with me.
About: I have had experience with both small and large animals for over 20 years.

“Jennifer and Larry were awesome. Nestli was excited to enter their house the moment he got there, and immediately began exploring the fenced yard with joy. He was happy to be there, and when we picked him up, he made sure to give Jennifer several kisses and wiggle butts goodbye. Obviously, Jennifer and Larry took great care of Nestli, and also accommodated our extra time needs for our event, for which we are very grateful!”
“Anna was great to work with. We're new to Rover and she answered any questions and was very accommodating to our needs for the day care. We're from out of town and using Rover and Anna made our stay easy for times during the day when our dog could not be with us. We would definitely use Anna when back in the area.”
About: We have a good sized house which we share with our sweet rescue dog, Penelope, 2 kittens, Lilo and Stitch and our almost 2 year old daughter. I offer dog walking, sitting, overnight, part day hang outs and even training! We live near several parks that are dog friendly which we frequent regularly. I've always lived with dogs but began training the family and neighbor's dogs around the age of 10. I want to make note that I understand it is a big responsibility to care for someone else's fur child and that I take it very seriously. If you have any questions, please feel free to text, or email me anytime. I am home each day with my young daughter who is great with animals but in case you prefer she stay separate, we have gates and even a heated barn if full separation is needed. Our old girl has free rein of the house, even our kitties get outside every once in a while but we have the ability to set up a small fenced in area or a zip line style tether, and of course walks as needed. We love to snuggle all furry friends but also know some prefer their space.
About: I am working on some pretty amazing updates. Additional outdoor yards are in the works, as well as a perimeter fence around the home property! I have also added Tracki to my collars. Tracki runs on global GPS (satellite feedback) and not cellular feedback, giving that extra security for your pups with no interruption in tracking! Bark & Barn is a privately insured in-home kennel that provides overnight and day boarding options as well as drop-in visits/walks for all pets, exotic included. I also provide optional training for dogs. I have five years of experience as a veterinary assistant in a high volume multi-species setting. With this, I have gained the knowledge, training, and experience in animal behavior as well as proper technique in safe animal hold, administering all forms of medication, administering emergency fluids, and animal CPR. Your pups will have access to multiple sections of my home, a fenced play yard, and walks over 120 acres of farm fields and streamed woods! I offer basic puppy training during board and day stays, including potty and crate training. I will gladly accept shark puppies, understanding completely how difficult these pups can be for many caretakers who are not experienced in their breed characteristics. I've worked with and owned dogs for over 17 years. I have a preference for high energy/high drive dogs, though I love all of them just the same. I am a farm mom of school aged children, work remotely, a full-time online student at KCC while my kids sleep, and have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I will follow strict biosecurity and safety measures. I am by no means a "doggy playcare". For their and my safety, I do not allow guest pups to interact together. I have sectioned off portions of my home and large basement for roam, and utilize sanitized in-home kennels for overnight and unattended times as well as movement of guests (inside, outside, walks, etc). I currently have full availability outside of school drop-off in the mornings and flexible pick-ups in the afternoon. I spend my free time caring for my own animals and attending online classes and seminars! I have a knack for social cues and when and how to approach. Discipline is and will always be reinforcement based. I have experience with reactive dogs and understand any dog can be reactive in the right setting, so meet and greets are a must! Our personal working dogs are not within the home's boundaries and remain with their flock at all times.

What this means is that I now have ample time to spend with your pet(s) each weekday and weeknight as well as on the weekends! create my own schedule on an as-needed basis for you…plus I usually have weekends free for ample time with your pet. I love to walk, play and give lots of love and attention so those will be incorporated frequently! I will treat your pet(s) and home with the utmost respect as I do my own. I will stay in frequent contact with you and will take pictures throughout the visit and send updates each night so you can be assured of my service and your pet’s well-being.
About: I have taken care of neighbor’s and friend’s dogs and cats since I was around 12 years old. I grew up with 4-5 dogs and cats at a time, as well as reptiles and amphibians. I have four dogs of my own now. I have cared for dogs as small as chihuahuas and as big as Great Danes. I’ve also cared for puppies and kittens, and have helped in the delivery process of nine German shepherd/Pitbull mixes. I fostered several sets of kittens while I was in high school. I did dog obedience and agility with my childhood dogs for 5 years or so when I was younger, and also went to private obedience lessons, so I am confident I can handle and care for any dog. I am a responsible pet owner as I believe in spay/neuter, I train and walk all of my dogs 4-8 days a month, I have a large fenced in backyard for them, and I keep them happy and healthy. I hope all of this will show you that I am the perfect person to care for your fur baby while you are away. I am also a photographer so I can take some pretty cute photos of your babies for you while you are away! I also offer training services outside of this app. I am working to get enough experience training so I can become certified. If you are interested, please let me know! I am currently a stay at home dog mom, so I am available pretty much any time. I will get up as early or stay up as late as needed to care for your pet. Prices explained: House sitting- $200/night. I have had multiple people try to book house sitting jobs with me and then are shocked by the price. The reason for the price being $200/night and so much higher than my check-in and dog walking prices is because I have to factor in drive time, mileage, and gas that it takes me to get to your home in back, as well as trips I will have to make in between to come home and care for my own dogs and to shower and eat as well as the hours I’m spending at your home overnight. I am away from my own home/bed, family, and dogs so I can do a job that requires me to stay somewhere most of the day and overnight to care for living beings. Because of that, I am going to charge a flat rate of $200 that covers the moment I leave my home to when I return after the last day, which includes every night I spend in your home. If you require me to stay in your home overnight for the job, I will not do it for free. Rover also takes 20% of my earnings, so I am actually only making $160/night. If you break it down, say I’m there for around 12 hours for an overnight house sitting job, I’m only making around $13/hour. If you do not require me to stay overnight, my check in and dog walking prices are much more affordable and I can check in several times a day and stay for up to an hour each time. Also, please list each animal in your home on your profile. As many other Rover sitters, I charge per animal. If there is only one dog on your profile, I expect to only be caring for one dog. It is an additional $10 or less per additional dog, depending on which service you book. I have previously talked about how I care for my dogs in my home, but I will not be offering any kind of in home care as two of my dogs are reactive. However, at the client’s home, I can follow any instructions on care down to the very last detail. I can provide your pet with cuddles and playtime if they are comfortable with it. I can walk them as well, for any amount of time or distance. I will meet your needs and your pet’s needs!
About: I was born into a family of pet lovers. We have had a wide array of pets in our home-cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and more. I have become my church and friends' go-to pet sitter for years. I not only provide the love and care that pets need, I am also a licensed pet massage therapist, so your pet will get extra love! I am self-employed, so my schedule varies and is very open for providing top notch pet care. My day is better when I am able to provide love and care for animals! I provide pet care in your home and am able to work with your pet(s) specific needs and schedules. I want them to feel as unaffected by your absence as possible!
“From the minute our dog met Morgan I could tell things would go well. Morgan was very timely and sent pictures and details about each visit with our dog Leo. I was out of town and when I asked if she could do a couple of extra things to care for Leo she happily agreed. She is very trustworthy, attentive to details and caring. I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.”

“Emily was the best dog sitter we have ever had! She made sure Sparky followed his usual schedule with feeding, walks and playtime. He got plenty of attention and love from Emily and her kids. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos, which reassured us Sparky was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Emily to anyone who wants a fabulous dog sitter!”

“Our dog Daisy was very well cared for. This was her first time being away from family and she took to Bree and her husband right away at the meet and greet. That initial interaction was very comforting. We'd love to have Bree sit for Daisy again!”
“I boarded my dog Enzo with Michele for about a week. I received daily updates with photos letting me know how he was doing. Michele treated him like her own pet. If and when I need a sitter in the future we will be contacting Michele. She is reasonably priced and close by. Thanks again.”
“Jennifer was very accommodating & we made a last minute booking & got the meet in greet in to make sure her doggies & ours was compatible. She welcomed us with open arms & let our dog check things out & then meet her doggie. Our dog felt comfortable & so did I & the doggies had the same energy level as ours is a boxer. Well they played & played. Loved the picture updates & video. They loved our dog like their own. She could sit on the couch with them & even sat on their laps. The fence in yard makes you feel at ease & took daily walks. We will be back. Thanks for loving our doggie & making it a stress free time away.”

“Marcia was an exceptional dog sitter during my time away. She consistently provided updates, sharing pictures of my dogs throughout the day. Her flexibility in accommodating various aspects of their stay was greatly appreciated. Marcia's kindness and attentiveness were evident, and she kept me well-informed at all times. My two pups were thoroughly worn out from playing with her and her dog, which speaks to the level of care and attention they received. I highly recommend Marcia for any pet sitting needs!”
“Alisha is very kind and treats her dog guests like they are her own. She even allowed Ranji to sleep with her. He seemed to really love it there despite struggling with separation anxiety in the past. He came home so tired after playing at her house the entire time which is great because he can be high energy. Alisha communicates well and sent us a picture of Ranji while we were away.”
