“Alejandra was wonderful! Very professional and attentive to my dogs needs! Took care of my dog as one of her own! 10/10 would recommend and will be going back to user her services her in the future!”
“We loved having Jennifer & Larry watch our two girls. They sent us pictures and updates 2x a day. And our girls were really happy with being able to explore inside and outside as they had access to go outside on their own. 100% will ask them to watch our girls again.”
“Leandra did a great job taking care of Millie at my apartment. She was trustworthy and I could tell felt comfortable taking care of a rather anxious, but sweet little dog. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.”
“Christina is awesome! Because of my job, sometimes my requests are super last-minute. She’s been awesome with working around my schedule. My pup had a blast at her place and came home exhausted. She will continue to be my go-to sitter!”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”
“Tiffani was great with my Rudy. Treated him like her own. Great communication with me. Never worried for a minute that he wasn't having the best care. I know he had a great time because he was worn out when I picked him up. Not an easy thing to do with an active puppy like my Rudy. I would highly recommend Tiffani and will definitely have her look after him next time I am in town.”
“Boba and Marvel had a good stay with Chris! Chris provided lots of updates as well as photos of them smiling the whole time! It was nice knowing someone was taking good care of them while I was away.”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“Lynn is an absolute Godsend! She provided me multiple updates daily including photos. She offered food and health recommendations as well as resources to review and research. Lynn pampered and spoiled ChiChi during our nearly weeklong vacation. I would trust her with my own life, not just my dog’s life. She’s that darn good! I will only use her from now on and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!! Thank you again Lynn!!! 🫶🏼”
“Betty was great! She was able to take Baron on short notice after our vacation plans changed abruptly. Baron was well taken care of and seemed to fit in right away with the rest of her crew. She has a great setup of for small dogs and you can tell she is an expert at taking care of them. Thank you!”
“Andrew and Jane were simply amazing. I was in a crunch to get my dog Justice to a home for a few days and they welcomed her with opened arms. They consistently sent me updates and gave her medicine that she needed daily. I would 10/10 recommend bringing your dog to Andrew if you want a place where your dog will be loved and will be safe. Andrew and Jane are 100% dog people, and your dog will enjoy their time away! Justice came back happy and well-taken care of. Thank you Andrew!”
“Katelin did amazing!! She made me feel so at ease leaving my baby for the week. She provided a family oriented stay and kept him busy! She sent lots of photos and videos during the stay as well.”
“Amazing!! Faith was so attentive and made our anxious dogs quickly comfortable. When we picked them up they were tuckered out from having so much fun! We also received lots of pictures and videos, which we loved.”
“Another great stay with Josie and Michael. I appreciate them so much. It’s nice to be able to go away and know that your babies are being cared for. Thank you!”
“Victoria took really good care of Beans, kept me updated and always responded to my messages quickly. She was kind and had a great environment for pups. She took her for walks and let her sleep with her in the bed. Beans had a great time there!”
“Kim and her whole family took amazing care of Pulcinella and Steve! She kept me up to date of their activities with lots of pictures. The boys had an amazing visit!”
“Morgan was wonderful not only to set up but she treated my dog like she was hers during her stay.. Took her for a walk, had her dog available for playtime, sent pics, had plenty of toys for her to play with... We will be using her in the future as she is in a very convenient location for us along with how well she treated my dog, Thank You Morgan!!”

“Raquel was incredibly kind, attentive, and caring with our cats. She communicated with us very well throughout and sent great photos that gave us total peace of mind. She took excellent care of them, and we truly appreciated the love and attention she gave. We’d happily book with her again! Thank so much for everything Raquel!”

“Mateo was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. I am very anxious leaving my babies alone, especially because I just moved to the area not too long ago, and I absolutely trusted him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies! 🥹”
About: I have had experience with every age of cats from newborn to senior. I've bottle fed kittens, potty trained them (though many potty train themselves), adopted them out, kept some, raised them all through their adult life, and cared for them as seniors. I've also taken in many strays and fosters and nursed them back to health, whether it was some scratches or they just weren't doing good, and found good homes for them. I know how to bottle feed, ween, potty train, groom, give medication, clean/sanitize injuries, and much more. I also volunteer in humane societies so that has given me advice and techniques for helping earn animals trust, especially when they are being boarded in an unknown house.
“Kiersten was kind enough to take a last minute booking and did a great job with all of our cats. We we fostering and had a full house and some unique instructions and she handled it like a pro. Plan on booking again in the future!”
About: Growing up there was always one kitty in the house. I also had my own cat at my grandmas that I had since I was little. I have experience with kittens and old cats. I also have the quiet space for an old cat to get away from the dogs.
“Kaylie did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cat. She followed all the instructions we gave and made sure to give them both lots of attention and petting. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Kimberlee was very communicative and reliable! She took great care of Linus and made sure he was doing well with his food, water and litter box. Would definitely rebook!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to really get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with goats, cats, dogs and lizards, chickens and even horses, along with senior pets. I’m patient and consistent when it comes to basic training, potty routines, exercising and helping reinforce good habits. I know how important that is, so I focus on structure, positive reinforcement, and lots of encouragement. For senior pets, I have lots of experience in administering medication, and sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and care. Reliability and communication are very important to me. I make sure you stay updated with messages, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time and remote, so I have plenty of flexibility to help others take care of their fur baby. You can count on me! I provide a safe, loving environment. I currently have a 4-year-old Bernedoodle who is everything to me. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by dropping in to care for their pets, feeding them, spending quality time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of attention, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family
“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).”
“Emma did an amazing job, taking care of my cats and keeping my home safe while I was out of town. She kept me updated and kept my cats fed and happy. I would definitely rebook with her.”
About: Rya & I just move to Elkhart in October. Allow me to take care of your four legged friend. Your dog will enjoy running and lounging in the open areas. After plenty of fresh air and outdoor exercise he will enjoy a sleepy snooze on one of the many cozy spots that he will find in a quiet home. Take the stress away from leaving your loving pet and let me take care of him while you are away.I like to do a " meet and greet" to see how the dog gets along with me and my own dogs. I do not have a breed preference. Of course I would like to know if the dog has any health concerns or behaviors I should know about, the dog's. My daily routine is wake up let animals outside. Then feed. Then I take care of myself. Relax, go for a long walk with them or run. I am free most days and weeks. I have 30 acres of fence in yard. I have a horse pasture I made it where the dogs can't get out they also have a indoor area where they can relax in shade. And water 24/7.

“Alejandra was wonderful with our pup, Cliff! She sent lots of pictures and videos of him throughout the day, and he had a blast! He had lots of friends to play with and was ready for a nap when he got home!”
“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!”
“I can’t say how impressed I am with Tammie. I was visiting family and am from Iowa, Tammie was more then accommodating and welcoming. I could tell she likes what she does and cares about her canine clients. Her home is set up for the dogs and, even with multiple dogs, stays clean. My Corgi was comfortable right way. I used Tammies daycare twice, the second time my Corgi couldn’t wait to get in the door. I will be using Tammie services whenever I visit, no question about it!”
“I’m a first time puppy parent and Chris made it so stress free for my puppy’s first daycare experience. He was only there for a few hours but he is already asleep at home so I know he had a great time! We will definitely be booking with Chris again when I need a daycare!”
“I knew right away our Pup was in good and loving hands. Betty is so kind and she let us know throughout the day how our little guy was doing. We would definitely use her services again.”
About: New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 I still foster and mark my calendar as unavailable when I have foster babies. You can always ask if there is room for one more. 😉 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months old, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.
“Jamie was once again wonderful. Her communication is great, with multiple photo updates throughout the day. My dogs always come home happy and sleepy. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Andrew and Jane are wonderful people. They are dog smart and dedicated to their profession. I will definitely be requesting their services again. Highly recommend!”
“We needed daycare for our dog while in town on business. Josie’s name came up and her reviews were glowing so we booked with her. I can attest that every review is true. Josie took as good of care of Winston as I do. She played with him, took him on walks and loved on him. She thought enough about him and us to send pictures. We will be back in Elkhart in April and Josie will be who we make an appt with. I can’t recommend her enough. Five stars are not enough, wish there were ten!”
“LiLi had a great time at Kimberlee’s. When I came to pick her up, she was still trying to run around and play with their dog, Odie, who has become one of LiLi’s best pals.”
About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.
“Our dog had such a great time with Lindsay! She sent photo updates and even sent our pup home with a cute bandana. Lindsay was so great with our pup - we will continue to use her for our doggy day care needs.”
“I don’t think I can say enough good about Haley and Pierce. Pierce is the perfect combination of laid back and playful. He patiently tolerated her initial over-excitement and then ran and played “chase” with her at the beautiful park where Haley took them. Haley was friendly and professional, providing frequent updates and photos. I will most definitely be using Haley again!”
“Michaela was great! We were visiting Traverse City from Ohio and needed somewhere for our dog to go for a couple hours. Michaela sent us photos throughout the day and took good care of our pup!”
About: I love all dogs and cats!!! I’m also a volunteer foster for Fulton County Animal Center. I have volunteered for over 6 years. Animals just bring so much happiness to your life. I’m a mom of 5 and 1 fur baby. I work part time so this is a great opportunity to make extra money while doing what I already love to do. I will make sure that the fur babes are supervised at all times just like I would with any of our own or foster babies.

About: I’m an attorney and moved to Granger recently. I have been on Rover for a few years (previously in Chicago and Colorado). I’ve had a cat since I was 7 years old, have worked with horses (not that I’m expecting to actually pet-sit any horses), and just adore animals. I have a 7 year old cat and a 1 1/2 year old dog. I love them both so so much. I would love the chance to spend more time with animals and hopefully help you out! I can handle all sizes of dogs. Just for a little more about me: I grew up in Erie, PA before leaving to attend Notre Dame for my undergraduate degree. I’ve played sports all of my life. I’d love to get to know your pets better too! Thanks! I work from home and make my own schedule so can make almost any time work. I love walking and being outdoors so I’d love to add dog-walking as part of my routine. I’ll be super attentive to your pets. I’ll be high energy and playful if that’s what they’re like or very chill and easy-going if they’re a little more slow paced!
“Emily and Ryan did a great job watching Hopscotch. They were easy to communicate with and were flexible with my schedule. I would recommend them if you need someone to watch your dog.”

Whether it’s running around and playing with a younger ball of energy, just talking and petting an older “pup” I’m your girl I’ve cared for neighborhood pets since I was 12 years old. I have had pets in my home my entire life. I’d love to give you a stress free time away knowing your beloved animals are in great care while you are unavailable.

I can accommodate weekday services as long as I have enough of an advanced notice. I have a large fenced in yard!

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.
About: I have taken care of all different animals ever since my parents bought me my first horse as a kid! I love all animals including cats and dogs! I’m currently a high school graduate working part-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for and play with your pet! I enjoy going for long, daily walks in various kinds of weather with my dogs. I am only available to do check ins at clients home, with scheduled feedings and play time! I am able to go on 2 walks per day for dogs, and scooping cat litter daily for the kitties!
About: I have always grew up around dogs in my home and friends, family home. My grandma used to foster dogs and she taught me a lot I know about them including but not limited to administering shots and medications. I currently work full-time. However, the dog door and fenced in yard allows your dog to be out and roam freely while I am away. I am also okay to crate your dog if that is what you would prefer. When I get home it's usually clean, play, and dinner time. As the night goes on its movies and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door to let your dog(s) run around outside and play during the day freely as wanted. I love to take walks in the nice weather with the dogs and play fetch out in the yard. I have an indoor camera and outdoors cameras to keep eyes when I'm not home.
About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 14 years. Caring for pets isn’t just my job—it’s something I genuinely love. I’m currently a professional dog groomer and have also managed boarding facilities, worked in a veterinary office, and completed basic obedience training. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels while recognizing when they may need a little extra patience or attention. At home, your pet will have a safe, fun environment with a fully fenced yard for playtime, plenty of toys, fresh water, treats (with your approval), and lots of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. Whether they love to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Scheduling, I just ask for two days notice if needed on the weekends or if I am needed for overnight stays/check ins. Thank you in advance! I have a fenced in yard at my home and two of my own dogs to keep your fur babies company if they enjoy playmates, if we are at your home I just need the information for care!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.

About: Hello everyone! Thank you for considering me to take care of your furbabies! I have three dogs of my own aged 6, 5, and 4, so I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pets when needed! I have watched dogs ranging from full grown german shepherds to small puppies. I first volunteeed at my local animal shelter, Pet Refuge, six years ago and discovered my passion for animals! I have experience with caring for numerous sizes, ages, and breeds of dogs through both my past volunteer experience and my work here through Rover over the past 5 years. These dogs include pit bulls, golden retrievers, australian shepherds, huskies, poodles and doodles, labs, chihuahuas, beagles, bulldogs, terriers, and many mixes in between. My experience includes walking, feeding, giving oral medicine, and knowledge of the various traits and behaviors of dogs. I have learned many skills on how to interact with dogs and how to read their body language. I have been so fortunate to expand further on all of these skills through my own work full-time here on Rover with my daily clients, as well as my every-once-in-awhile pet pals that just need someone when their parents go on vacation! I also had a childhood cat who lived to be 18 years old, and adopted two kittens three years ago. I also have had the privilege to take care of many kitty friends through this app! Therefore, I do have experience with cat duties as well including litter box cleaning, feeding, and medication. I love working with animals. I am currently pet-sitting part-time while also being a full-time IUSB college student studying elementary education! I am so passionate and appreciate all of my current and past pet parents so much for allowing me to take care of their pets! My schedule is generally open according to my posted availability with the majority of my availability being evenings and weekends. However, I am able to make drop ins work with my schedule the majority of the time. I would love to hear from you! I try to be super flexible! As I previously stated, I have a few pets of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and honest. Communication is key for my care and I am always updating, asking questions, and communicating with the parent while I care for their pet. Who doesn’t love lots of updates? I go with your pets pace, so if it’s a puppy full of energy we’ll be sure to play a lot - but if you have a senior who likes to relax, we will! Whatever your dogs (or cats) needs are I am there to fulfill them!

“Alejandra was wonderful! Very professional and attentive to my dogs needs! Took care of my dog as one of her own! 10/10 would recommend and will be going back to user her services her in the future!”
“We loved having Jennifer & Larry watch our two girls. They sent us pictures and updates 2x a day. And our girls were really happy with being able to explore inside and outside as they had access to go outside on their own. 100% will ask them to watch our girls again.”
“Leandra did a great job taking care of Millie at my apartment. She was trustworthy and I could tell felt comfortable taking care of a rather anxious, but sweet little dog. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.”
“Christina is awesome! Because of my job, sometimes my requests are super last-minute. She’s been awesome with working around my schedule. My pup had a blast at her place and came home exhausted. She will continue to be my go-to sitter!”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”
“Tiffani was great with my Rudy. Treated him like her own. Great communication with me. Never worried for a minute that he wasn't having the best care. I know he had a great time because he was worn out when I picked him up. Not an easy thing to do with an active puppy like my Rudy. I would highly recommend Tiffani and will definitely have her look after him next time I am in town.”
“Boba and Marvel had a good stay with Chris! Chris provided lots of updates as well as photos of them smiling the whole time! It was nice knowing someone was taking good care of them while I was away.”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“Andrew and Jane were simply amazing. I was in a crunch to get my dog Justice to a home for a few days and they welcomed her with opened arms. They consistently sent me updates and gave her medicine that she needed daily. I would 10/10 recommend bringing your dog to Andrew if you want a place where your dog will be loved and will be safe. Andrew and Jane are 100% dog people, and your dog will enjoy their time away! Justice came back happy and well-taken care of. Thank you Andrew!”

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old. Growing up on a farm, I learned to take care of animals from a very young age. Additionally, I spent a lot of my high school years pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and friends of friends! I have had many dogs of many different breeds and ages. I tend to be an active person, so walking and playing with my pets to ensure their exercise is something I prioritize. I’m very good at adapting to pets different personalities and making them as comfortable as possible. I work 5 days a week but on a hybrid schedule- 3 days in office, 2 days working from home. My hours are 9-3, so I have plenty of time during the week to love on your pet! Additionally, my weekends are free. Though I do not have any pets currently, I have an apartment with plenty of room, outside space, and live directly across from a huge, gated dog park— which is friendly to all sizes of dogs. Additionally, I live right next to tons of walking trails, perfect for those pets who love their walks! If your pup is needing to be crated, I can easily make that happen, as well as anything else your pet needs!
