“Huge thanks to Josie for taking such amazing care of Happy for over 40 days! 🐶💛 She sent regular photo updates, which gave me and my husband so much peace of mind. It was so sweet to see Happy sleeping on the bed and sofa, playing with toys, and looking completely at Josie's home. You can truly tell that she treats Happy for like family. I’m so grateful — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible dog sitter!”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bruce felt so at home. Sarah and her family treated our dog like family. They followed his cues to go outside and cuddled with him. Highly recommend!”

“Ashley & Michael took all my requeata to heart. Truffles had a big doggie smile in several pictures and was sure to reintroduce me to their gentile doggo. I am thankful to them and this platform”


“As a consistent dog owner who has boarded with Becky at least safely a dozen times, she remains to impress me with her care, flexibility and availability of my Italian Greyhound. Another great experience in the books. Thank you Becky!”

About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Highly experienced with dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors. I am comfortable enough with all animals that with some instruction I can care for anything. Experience in administering medication, even with cats. Patient with all animal personalities. I am very detail oriented and thorough. Reliable and great with instructions. I love animals and since semi-retiring I thought it would be nice to spend time caring for them when owners are on vacation or just need a little extra help. I practice reward based motivation. Semi-retired with plenty of time to play with and care for your animals. Happy to care for in home or take for walks. I can do multiple drop-ins a day. I am very good with instructions and will abide by any house rules and needs required for your pet. Experience house and pet sitting prior to joining Rover.
“Robin took great care of both of my dogs, one of whom is an anxious senior. She provided updates with photos and was accessible, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Robin as a reliable and caring dogsitter!”

I live out in the country next to my parents. The animals have multiple acres to run and exercise as well as play around either each other. If something happens to an animal in my care, they are immediately taken to my father’s for proper care! Each dog is on specialty food to fit their needs.

About: Hi, I’m Angelica, a retired veteran and passionate pet lover who’s been dog sitting since 2017. After losing my service dog Buddy, I turned my love for animals into a mission to care for yours like family. I’m experienced with dogs of all kinds—puppies, seniors, and those with medical needs—happily administering medications and tailoring care to each pet’s unique personality. I adore taking dogs on car rides, hiking trails, or exploring nearby lakes, and I offer pick-up and drop-off services for an additional fee. From my time volunteering in Phuket, Thailand (2016) to walking dogs at Koh Lanta’s Animal Welfare, I bring a world of care to every furry friend. Whether it’s potty training, baths (just ask for pricing!), or cuddles on the bed (if allowed), your pet will feel right at home. I’m also comfortable with cats, farm animals, and endless games of fetch! I prefer meet-and-greets before bookings to ensure a perfect fit. Let’s give your four-legged family member the love and adventure they deserve with Best Buddy Dog Sitting! As a retired veteran, I’m all in for pet care! I’m available weekdays and weekends, offering sitting in my home or yours—wherever your pet feels happiest. My schedule revolves around giving them the love and attention they deserve. My home features a fenced yard—perfect for romping or leashed adventures—plus quiet, low-traffic streets for walks. If the weather’s good and they’re up for it, well-behaved pets join me on outings, from car rides to playdates with other friendly dogs. In your home, I adapt to their routine, ensuring they feel secure and cared for.

“Tasha and Leo were very sweet. My dog was really nervous around their bigger dog, but they really helped her feel comfortable, and Tasha gave me a lot of updates to make me feel comfortable as well”

About: I’ve had my own dog for years and she loves to play! Would love to watch your dog so she can make friends while you enjoy time away! I work full time but am home most evenings and weekends! I enjoy walking my dog and I have a fenced in back yard so they get plenty of exercise! I have a fenced in back yard with one dog at home. I have one small create but am fine if they roam the house!
About: I don’t just care for pets—I love them like family. I have a Brittany Spaniel puppy of my own, and before that, I had a sweet companion who was with me for 10 years. Losing her taught me just how deep the bond with an animal runs. To me, caring for your dog isn’t a “job”, it’s giving them the same love, patience, and attention I give my own kids (and yes, my pup too!). Hi, I’m Kylie! I’m married with two kids, and we’re a family that truly loves animals. I work full-time 9–5, which means I’m home every evening and off on weekends—the perfect time to give pets the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I spend a lot of time outdoors and enjoy walking, hiking, and running. I walk my own Brittany Spaniel puppy daily (we’re training to start running together soon!), so keeping up with active pups comes naturally. I also cared for a senior dog for over 10 years, which taught me patience, compassion, and how important it is to treat pets like family at every stage of life. With me, your furry loved one will get reliable, loving care—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just plenty of snuggles. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I keep a watchful eye on playtime, walks, and interactions to make sure everyone stays happy and safe. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, routines, and medications, and I always keep fresh water available. At home, pets are cared for in a clean, family-friendly environment. I have a playful pup of my own and two children, so your dog will always have company, stimulation, and affection—but I’m also mindful of boundaries and comfort levels to make sure your pet feels secure. Trust is everything when it comes to pet care. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, love, and respect. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle, or just sitting quietly together, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.

If they have an accident or make a mess I clean it and make sure they always have clean, dry, and comfortable bedding. Food and water bowls are filled and cleaned regularly. I will be as involved or uninvolved as they need to be. I let them show me what degree of interaction they’re comfortable with and I meet there where they’re at. If they are a lone wolf but still like to hang out from a distance that’s fine. Over the course of my career, I’ve been trained for almost every scenario regarding cats and dogs in almost any imaginable situation. With my emergency and critical care background I am always passively monitoring their vitals, general condition, and i will respond quickly, calmly, and appropriately should an issue or emergency arise.

About: My dogs are my babies. I have a 6 year old boxer. I also have three cane corso mastiffs I have had two litters with my mama bear cane corso. They are wonderful animals. I have two children 11 and 9. Boy and girl. I love dogs and animals in general. They go bye bye with us a lot and they let my children do whatever they want to them. They all four love to be outside on our 6 acres. Not too long away from their mommy though. We play with our dogs regularly and talk baby talk to them. Which everyone thinks is odd but we love them. I also provide baths and nail clipping. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in the womb lol. I work m-f 7-330. I have four huge crates. I have to put my boxer and male cane up everyday bc they will chew or find something in the house to mess up. So yours will also be in there while at work. But when we get home it’s on!! Playtime, baby talk, itches and scratches and kisses. My dogs are allowed to go wherever they want in my 4200 sq foot home. I love on them all day my mastiffs normally like to lay around all day
About: I have grown up always being attracted more towards plants and animals. I have two cats and lovely doggo myself. I would like to help out others in need who needs a sitter for their fur baby(s). I myself know that it is hard to find someone I know who will pay attention to my girls and not just keep them locked up in a kennel all day. I have worked in a kennel before and know I would rather have a trusted companion/friend watch my fur babies than to put them into a kennel while I am gone. All 3 of my fur babies are certified emotional support animals and I would really enjoy the company of your fur baby just as much! I am currently have a lot of downtime to help out those in need. When I do eventually get back to working my normal schedule is Monday-Friday from 7:30-4pm. I normally stop at the grocery store on my way home from work before rushing home to the fur babies to let her out to potty. I do not go anywhere once I get home and its play time right before I give supper. my house is is pet proof. anything that can be chewed on is picked up, I have a lot of space for animals to play and move about, a unfenced in yard (I have a yard leash) that is around woody area and a corn field, and I have an extra room with nothing in it incase anyone needs to be separated.

About: Hello! My name is Sarah Zarlenga. I am an absolute animal person. I couldn't imagine life without a dog or other animal companion by my side. We tend to have an immediate understanding and bond that is indescribable with words alone. That being said, I actually have 4 canine friends of my own. I have a senior, male Siberian Husky named Chaos, a Doberman mix named Alrik, a male German Shepherd named Arthur, & a Papillon/Rat Terrier named Little Guy. I have also cared for over 60 large, hound breed dogs at once on a daily basis for a dog rescue in Texas for 2 years, and I volunteered and worked for another dog and horse rescue with several breeds including huskies and pit bulls for over 3 years. I also helped care for the rescued horses, cats, & chickens, so I have experience with their care as well. Furthermore, I helped out at an Aussie breeder for about a year. I have also learned service dog training techniques, and am well versed in basic obedience training from the time I had my first Chocolate Lab puppy at age 7. I would be happy to lend a caring and helping hand to you and your animals when the need arises. I only wish to treat you and your animals as if I were an extended family member to ensure a proper fit for premium care for all involved! Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to get to know me further, and hopefully plan a care visit. Thank you for stopping by to become acquainted! Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs ever since I can remember. We had a few dogs when I was a small child, but the one we had the longest (from 2 months old till the end of her life at 13 years) was a super sweet & intelligent Chocolate Lab whom we called Angel. Her and I grew up together. I would take her on walks and play with her all of the time. Later on, I lived with my dad and he got us a puppy who grew to become a 125 lb Belgian Shepherd named Buddy, so I would take him for walks and to play at the dog park. Now, I have 4 dogs of my own who I consider to be my fuzzy children. I love spending time playing with them in the yard, taking them for walks or bike rides, taking them to the dog park, and grooming & caring for them. I also give them nutritious treats (like vegetables) which they absolutely love! They are spoiled with all of my love and affection. All of the amazing experiences with dogs & other animals in my life have inspired me to work closely with them on a daily basis in order to cultivate a healthy and renewed symbiotic relationship between animals and humans that can grow stronger in each new generation. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication in the form of pills. I also have a little experience administering shots. I am currently a stay-at-home-mom caring for my 3 year old daughter & newborn son. We take daily walks with our dogs. The kids and I would be able to take your dog for a walk using a stroller if needed. I treat the animals I care for with respect, and I am always paying close attention to their signals. I will make sure the environment I walk them in is safe and will always pay close attention to our surroundings to ensure a pleasant walk.
“I am very please with Rover. I got the recommendation from a Nurse friend of mine. I tried the dog walking part of Rover. My dog is a guide dog but needs an outing in the evening as I work late. Emily did an amazing job and I felt very safe and secure letting my companion go with her. Rover lets you give your animal companions the addition of new friends and new explorations and the bestr of care. Thank you.”

“Thankful for Abigail. She made sure my Sky dog had plenty of water and always turns my alarm back on when the walk is complete. She is easy to communicate with over text and I love seeing the pictures of Sky before and after the walks.”

I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’ve cared for all kinds of furry friends over the years — from ferrets and hamsters to cats and dogs — and I bring that same love and attention to every pet I watch. I currently have three dogs of my own (a German Shepherd and two French Bulldogs) along with two cats, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from incubating and bottle-feeding puppies to providing gentle, patient care for senior pets. Friends, family, and neighbors have consistently trusted me to care for their pets, whether for quick check-ins or longer stays. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their routines. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I take that responsibility seriously by providing dependable care, regular updates, and treating every pet like my own. I'm currently in college full time and work part-time weekends!

About: As a pet sitter, there are several qualities and skill that set me apart from others in the industry. While many pet sitters have a genuine love for animals, I believe it takes more than just love to truly excel in this role. One of the key skills that I possess is my strong observational skills. I am able to quickly assess a pet’s behavior and mood, allowing me to anticipate any potential issues or take action if nescessary. This skill is crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of the pets under my care. In additon, I have a high level of patience and understanding when it comes to working with pets. I understand that each pet is unique and may have specific needs or preferences. By being patient and attentive, I am able to build a strong rapport with the pets I care for, making them feel comfortable and secure in my presence. Furthermore, I have excellent communication skills, both with pets and their owners. I am able to effectively communicate with pets through body language and vocal cues, making it easier for me to understand their needs and respond accordingly. When it comes to communicating with pet owners, I am able to provide regular updates and feedback to keep them informed and reassured about their pet’s well-being. Reviews are always appreciated. Currently most of my available days are Saturdays and Sundays. If you are needing a care giver on weekdays please feel free to contact me. If I am available I would be happy to help. Caring for pets on a walk is an essential part of being a responsible pet sitter. Walking your pet provides them with excercise and mental stimulation. To ensure that your pet is well taken care of during our walk there are several important steps that I follow. First and foremost, it is crucial to make sure that the pet is properly leashed and under my control at all times. This is not only for the safety of the pet, but others as well as the sitter. Proper leashing depends on the size and weight of your dog. I am mindful of your pets physical needs and limitations. If your dog has medial conditions or is older please consider booking shorter walks. Weather is also an important factor within dog walking. If weather is too severe and I do not think it is safe for your pet … I will ask you to reschedule. Please check the weather before booking. I am mindful of your pets body language, and other cues during our walk. If I am sensing something may be upsetting your pet … I will contact you immediately. No need to provide poop bags … I always bring extra. Caring for pets on a walk involves a combination of proper equipment, consideration of their physical needs, attentiveness to their behavior and respect for the environment. By following these guidelines and taking the time to ensure your pet is happy and safe … I am creating a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet.

Overall I love dogs so this is a great job for myself and I look forward to helping you care for your pets. Thank you, -Kacey Most days of the week I have a lot of flexibility during my days which allows me to work from home or in the office. I work some weekends for the college sports teams but most of the time my schedule is pretty flexible! When I come to your house I will never open an outside door without your pet being somewhere safe and secure so they have no chance of getting out without a leash (unless it’s a fenced backyard!).

About: I have always loved having pets, especially since I grew up with two of them in my household. One of them was a Cane Corso and the other was a Chihuahua Terrier mix. Additionally, my grandmother has three tiny dogs that I have had the pleasure of growing up with. My love for animals, especially dogs, has inspired me to pursue a career as a zoologist. In fact, I even took vet classes while attending Duncanville High School. I have a balanced schedule that allows me to take care of my pets. As a student athlete and animal enthusiast, I'm currently home full time having recently graduated from college. I have a fenced back yard and a open front yard. As far as dog waking, I live in a circular community which make it very easy to walk around, yet get a exercise as well
About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately!

About: I don’t just care for pets—I love them like family. I have a Brittany Spaniel puppy of my own, and before that, I had a sweet companion who was with me for 10 years. Losing her taught me just how deep the bond with an animal runs. To me, caring for your dog isn’t a “job”, it’s giving them the same love, patience, and attention I give my own kids (and yes, my pup too!). Hi, I’m Kylie! I’m married with two kids, and we’re a family that truly loves animals. I work full-time 9–5, which means I’m home every evening and off on weekends—the perfect time to give pets the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I spend a lot of time outdoors and enjoy walking, hiking, and running. I walk my own Brittany Spaniel puppy daily (we’re training to start running together soon!), so keeping up with active pups comes naturally. I also cared for a senior dog for over 10 years, which taught me patience, compassion, and how important it is to treat pets like family at every stage of life. With me, your furry loved one will get reliable, loving care—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just plenty of snuggles. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I keep a watchful eye on playtime, walks, and interactions to make sure everyone stays happy and safe. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, routines, and medications, and I always keep fresh water available. At home, pets are cared for in a clean, family-friendly environment. I have a playful pup of my own and two children, so your dog will always have company, stimulation, and affection—but I’m also mindful of boundaries and comfort levels to make sure your pet feels secure. Trust is everything when it comes to pet care. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, love, and respect. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle, or just sitting quietly together, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: Vet nurse 10+ years. CPR Certified. The best quality care for your furry family members. I am trained and qualified to ensure that your pet has everything they want and need. I actively work at several veterinary hospitals in the area. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible. My professional career is directly related to pet care so it’s a huge part of my life. I take pet care very seriously. I love animals and treat them with compassion and respect. If they have an accident or make a mess I clean it and make sure they always have clean, dry, and comfortable bedding. Food and water bowls are filled and cleaned regularly. I will be as involved or uninvolved as they need to be. I let them show me what degree of interaction they’re comfortable with and I meet there where they’re at. If they are a lone wolf but still like to hang out from a distance that’s fine. Over the course of my career, I’ve been trained for almost every scenario regarding cats and dogs in almost any imaginable situation. With my emergency and critical care background I am always passively monitoring their vitals, general condition, and i will respond quickly, calmly, and appropriately should an issue or emergency arise. There is no better option for your pets care.
