“Victoria was exactly what we were hoping for when finding a new dog sitter. She was extremely accommodating with all our schedule needs and took amazing care of our two dogs (one senior dog and one puppy). We couldn’t have asked for more peace of mind when traveling with Victoria watching our pups! Highly recommend.”
“If I could give Nora 20 stars I would! She is always so good to us and she’s amazing with my fur babies. She is so kind, caring, and an amazing communicator. Everyone should book with her, except on the weekends we need her ❤️😂 I’m not sure how we would survive without her!”
“Alyssa is amazing!!! She kept us updated the entire week she had Walter with pictures, videos and messages! She took him on walks and game him lots of love! She’s the best (and so is Butters, her pup!)! Highly recommend!!”
“Randi was our first Rover experience and it was amazing. Super communicative, very caring! The peace of mind to travel during the holidays was absolutely priceless.”
“A++ "Sitter"!! I would highly recommend using Courtney for your pets/furry family members care. She was very professional, polite, and took such great care of our dog, Moose. He actually seemed to miss her when we picked him up and she drove back home! ❤️ Even though, she had her own life and things to do, etc...she was very quick to respond, kept in constant contact with our Family, and even took pictures and video of Moose for us and our 7 year old Son. She was understanding, compassionate, and without hesitation was "there for all of us" when unforseen changes or issues occurred. She definitely goes above and beyond to help and be supportive of our requests and needs. In the future, we plan our requesting her again; and, at this point do not plan on asking anyone else to care for our loved one except her! This was the first time we have used a "Sitter," and we truly feel she should have a more deserving "title." She was more than just a dog sitter for us. The services she provided; included, sincerity, love and care of Moose as her own, and unconditional, heartfelt care toward our situation and family as a whole. Within only a few days, Courtney has made us feel like she has always been a part of lives and in our hearts. She is more than that title. We feel she has become a part of our little "Family Unit." She is just an "extended Family member" 🤗. Thank you, Courtney for everything! We are so very thankful and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and have you care for Moose. You are a true Blessing!!”
“Kymberly was wonderful! She took my booking at the last minute and then worked with us as we had schedule changes. She was prompt with communicating and provided regular updates on our dogs. They were well taken care of and we'll use her services again!”
“Great communication, very caring and loving. Our fur-sweetheart came home happy and relaxed. Willing to do meet and greet and photo/video updates provided. Our minds were at ease knowing that our fur-sweetheart was properly being cared for and given lots of love. Would definitely recommend and schedule again!”
“Sydney was awesome! She did a great job administering meds and looking after my pup! She sent pictures frequently and was also great about communicating when he had an instance of not feeling well. Definitely recommend!”
“Ashley and Cody took care of my dog as their own with so much love! I can tell how happy my dog was from the photos and videos they sent. Glinda and Tessa are great fur friends too 😊”
“Feel absolutely blessed to have Ashley watch our dog for us when we are out of town. Our dog feels right at home at her house every time which says so much about the care Ashley gives him!”
“Jessica was a lifesaver! She took our last minute booking without a hitch and was so professional when a health concern came up with Luna. She handled it perfectly and kept us updated the whole time. She really goes above and beyond we felt totally at ease knowing Luna was in such great hands. We highly recommend Jessica if you need your dog watched!”
“Claire was absolutely wonderful! She was very thorough, and paid close attention to all instructions and made a point to stick to my dog’s medication routine. She communicated well throughout the stay, and clearly loves animals! My pup had an awesome time and was so comfortable during his stay. I felt very reassured that he was in good hands, and would 100% book her again!”
“Whitney provided hands down the best rover experience anybody could ask for. She sent pictures, kept us updated, and communicated consistently, and her overall care for Julio was exceptional. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend 20/10.”
“Jessi was our first experience with dog boarding. She was excellent. She sent pictures everyday and interacted with our puppy like she was her own. Which is exactly what we wanted. We will be using her again!”
“Ash was just wonderful!! She provided a “meet and greet” before the booking, was a great communicator throughout our pup’s stay and sent daily pictures. Will definitely use her again!”
“Definitely want to have her watch Ace and Frodo again. Ace has really bad anxiety and it’s rare that he warms up to people. But while he was in her home he made himself right at home. He was so comfortable and love it there he didn’t want to leave lol ?”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. I’ve worked with all different breeds of dogs and dogs of all ages. I work from home so I would be able to be with your pets all the time so that they can get the best care they need. Every animal is different and every owner has a different schedule depending on their animal and I always try and follow the owner schedule for their animals so that when they get back, the animals not thrown off their schedule so that the animal can go back to normal life easily.
“Claire was Amazing! She was kind, accommodating, easy to connect and communicate with and her sweet dog Finley and our dog Magnolia loved each other! Claire took our booking request on short notice when we needed to travel to KS for a family matter. If we lived in the same town we would have Claire dog sit Magnolia all the time. I can't recommend Claire enough to care for your dog.”

About: HEY!!! NEED A LOVING CARETAKER YOU TRUST? IT'S US KAYLYN AND SETH! We have dog and cat sat multiple times in the past for family/ friends. I currently have an 18 week pup who is in training, so I'm consistently training and thoroughly enjoy it. I love playing fetch and running around with my dog. I have grown up with multiple animals in the house since I was born. I have given injections before for a diabetic cat growing up. I also had a boxer who I cared for as a senior dog, and when she had surgery I took great care of her then too. I am very familiar with giving medications. I have my husband who also loves animals and grew up with multiple dogs in his home. He's cared for his dog who was a senior including medications and diapers. My husband Seth has the patience of a saint. We moved here from Pensacola, FL back in January and our love for animals led us to this app. We watched animals back home for our friends and family as well as their friends and families. We're looking to love on as many animals as possible. I wish I could take in all the pup and cats. I work from home which means I walk my dog on every break. I also have a fenced in back yard where they can play for additional activity and easy and consistent potty breaks. I do have a cat. He will not bother the dogs, and is used to my 18 week pup bothering him. He does well with my dog and other animals as well he has never been an alone animal longer than 2 months. He has grew up around multiple dogs and cats. My husband and I also love to cuddle with any dog that's willing. Your fur babies will rarely be left alone. Either Seth or I are home day and night. I am also very tentative and am constantly watching my pets as well as yours. I am always available to take calls/texts or send pictures of your fur babies when you're missing them. I know it's hard to leave them with someone you don't know, so we can always do a meet and greet prior if wanted. We have healthy and happy animals, and will make sure yours are very well taken care of at all times. We would love to host your loving fur babies, and will make sure they're treated like our family. My husband wakes up at 6 to let the dog out. And I'm up around 7-7:30 to feed and walk my pup before work at 8:30. I can be up earlier if needed. I have time when I'm working to walks the dogs as requested. My husband is military and is off relatively early so we can adapt to any strict routines you may have. I am able to send pics throughout the day, and I am available to text back. I do work out for an hour a day, but it is usually when my husband is home. We are both off weekends and like to take my dog on walks or to the big yard on base to play fetch. I do prefer kennel trained unless the dog is very well behaved with no destructive tendencies. I have a fenced in back yard, and a dog that can help run energy out of yours. I have a decent sized house with no choking hazards available since my dog is 18 weeks (she is fully vaccinated and healthy). We make sure my pup has her toys constantly and is always in my view to watch her, and I will treat yours as my own. Treats are a must if allowed. I am very strict with routines, and I will respect all obligations needed. I do know how to do CPR and first aid for dogs, but I am not certified in that area.
About: I am a stay at home mom, so your animals will always have some one to cuddle up to. We can continue activities that would normal happen at home ex: training, walking, playing fetch ride alongs in the car when school starts back up. Your little furry babies will always be in good hands as if they where my own. I can watch anytime of any day. I'm a stay at home mom with 3 little ones. We always love company in our little home. We love and care for them as if they where our own. Like they say dog is man's best friend. Cherish each moment with them
“Thank you for watching my sweet girl today and being accommodating and easy to communicate with. I know Maggie enjoyed the cuddles on the couch and playtime with the other dogs! Would recommend this sitter to others.”
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid, and really miss having one of my own! Sadly my two childhood dogs have now passed, but I’m looking forward to taking care of your animals. One of my favorite experiences as a kid was taking my dogs on walks, and how excited they would get at just the word walk. Thanks for considering me! I am a full-time RN. I worked 3 12s a week so I’m very flexible. On my days off I am currently only doing homework working on my BSN. So virtually on my days off, I have all time availability! I would care for a pet by making sure they know I’m in their house. I would also be calm and make sure the pet trust me before caring for them. I would never pick up someone’s pet unless told other wise. I would be able to feed, clean after, and take out peoples pets. I would also give walks if needed and whatever else they wanted.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. When I was younger, I had chickens, and my very first pet was my bunny Sid. My sister and I started a dog walking business in our neighborhood when we were very young. After moving out, I got my very first dog, Clifford ! I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat. I’ve always loved animals, and caring for animals has been my greatest passion in life. I have worked in kennels, vet clinics, and have pet sat for others for over 5 years. I’m currently also in school to become a certified dog trainer. I strive to make animals happy as well as their owners ! I’ve cared for pets who need medications, pets who have high anxiety, puppies, seniors, and pets who just need some extra time with someone. This includes dogs and cats, and I’ve also pet sat birds, pigs, rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs. I love all animals ! I am currently doing this full time, so I will have lots of time with your kiddo(s). With doing this full time, this allows me to be at home and making sure everyone is happy, healthy, and safe ! I have a fenced yard with lots of space for dogs to run around. There is also a dog door, so that will allow dogs to be able to go in/out as they please. There is also plenty of gates to keep my own dogs and your dogs separate if requested. I am wanting everyone to feel safe and also have a good time. Cats will have lots of scratch posts/trees, and their own room. There is what I call a “dog stopper”, it allows the cats to go in and out of the room as they please, but keeps the dogs out. If your cat is a bit bigger, the stopper is adjustable !
About: “With years of loving, hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care that treats every pup like family.” I can do it full-time, since I work from home. I can keep an eye on the furry friends without any problems caring for them. “I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment where dogs feel at home, cared for with attention, hygiene, and compassion—because their well-being is my priority.”
“Sandra provides my Merlin with a home away from home! She sends updates and is flexible for my crazy early hours. Merlin loves to go to Sandra’s, he pulls me to the door! He plays all day & comes back to me happy, tired & content! Socialization is so important for dogs & Sandra has a gorgeous golden that Merlin just loves, well tempered well mannered. I can’t say enough, this is a great way for my pup to get positive interaction with his own kind in a safe, relaxed environment. I recommend Sandra if you have a busy schedule and need the assurance that your fur baby will be safe and well looked after when you can’t be with them. Easily 5 stars.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life and have vast experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, temperaments, needs, and species. I am very physically active and can provide fast paced walks or runs for the more energetic dogs. I’m very intuitive with animals and am able to adjust my energy to suit their needs and requirements for a more peaceful interaction. I spent about 2 years volunteering at my local dog shelter, as the dog exerciser and obedience trainer, producing excellent results. I was a former Security Forces member in the United States Air Force- attention to detail and integrity are engrained in me. I love picking up pet care jobs on the side whenever I can. I work several part time jobs as a welder, personal trainer, and reiki practitioner. I love having a variety of jobs to do- especially when it involves animals! If I am caring for your pet(s) in your home, they will be very well taken care of. They will receive loads of love and attention and your home will also be in excellent hands. While on walks, I am very attentive and cautious of all possibilities and situations, ensuring that your pet will never get loose or harmed.
“Samantha is awesome! She walked my dog Jake for 3 days while I was out of town for a little weekend get away. She is very friendly, reliable and she sent me pictures each day of Jake on his walks. I felt very comfortable and relieved that Jake was getting some exercise and attention while I was away. I will use her services again in the future. Thank you Samantha ?”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats and many other animals old and young for most of my life. I have a very high passion for taking care of any animals! As an early graduate I have ample free time, so I will have plenty of time to love and care for your dogs/cats. I love going on walks and just sitting outside. So if your animal loves that I will gladly do that with them. If your animal loves to just chill and relax I love to do that as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am also very good with reactive dogs/cats and know what to do in a situation if something were to happen. If your animal needs medication I can provide it with instructions! If your animal needs any special care or has any appointments I can care for them and take them to appointments.
“My dog loves Katharine, and my daughter's shy dog also loves her. She did a great job walking my dog: she was very reliable and responsive and made my dog happy. I highly recommend her.”
About: For the last 20 years I've been deeply involved with dog rescue and fostering. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments as well as dogs in need of special care. I am an animal lover through and through and I will make sure your friend(s) will get the loving care they deserve. If your pets have medications that they routinely need I have lots of experience with administering meds and dealing with other health issues. I have a relatively flexible work schedule Monday through Friday, I can do walks and play in the early afternoon most days as well as evenings. Ask me about my boarding service as well ! I currently live with three seniors and two younger pups, I live out in the country and have two homes, on one of the properties there are two fenced areas with plenty of room for zoomies. If you would like to board your friends with me, I am fine with having them out and about in the house when I'm present, but they would most likely need to be crated if left alone. Contact me with questions and I can give you more details.

About: Personally I have been lucky enough to have three beautiful cats for the past nine years. As a dog sitter I have enjoyed caring for every type of doggie from Yorkies, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Pit Bulls, Bull Dogs, German Shepards, and Boxers. I never met a dog I didn’t love! I have no problem administering basic medical care to animals as I also am a registered nurse for humans 😊 I enjoy caring for dogs in their home to ensure comfort and access to their care needs. I do have a 5 year old son who would occasionally be with me depending on timing of visits as he is in half day preschool. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! Other than taking my kiddo to half day preschool mid day and some therapy appts my schedule is pretty open. We should be able to work something out that works for you and your fur baby. At this time I will only be assisting in your home due to limitations in my own home with our existing animals. I will do everything to respect your space, privacy, and ensure your animals feel loved and cared for.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I currently own 2 dogs, a pit bull and husky. I also have 1 cat.

I have a large fenced back yard and plenty of indoor space for your dogs to be comfortable and cared for. Our neighborhood has great space for walks as well. I enjoy spending time getting to know dogs their temperments and preferences. When I was younger my desire was to be a veterinarian and have always had a special place in my heart for our furred loved ones. I am a caring and considerate person and friend and understand the bond between our fur babies. I am fascinated by the various personalities and temperments of dogs. I have been called a dog whisperer before and look forward to meeting you and yours!

I’ve also nurtured and cared for new born puppies and kittens until they were ready to go to good homes because their mothers passed away. There’s many more stories I could tell about the pups and kitties I’ve watched, but I’m gonna keep this short and sweet!! I can’t wait to meet your family with paws!!🐾 I work part time as a barista currently, so I’m free on weekends and then free during the week just depending on the time/day!! Message me and we can talk more about my availability, I’m normally pretty flexible!! My dog is spoiled rotten and I won’t let your furry family feel any less than that!! I will make sure your dog/cat feels safe and loved while their families are away!! I’ll make sure to give them exercise and cuddles until you’re back home with them!!

About: Having experience with dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and birds, I would make a great fit for many different types of families! Having around 4 years of experience at both a small animal vet clinic, and a larger one, I have experience in how to adequately help take care of animals when in need. I can give baths, walk dogs, and feed to help provide structure when needed! I am also comfortable giving medication and working with young and senior animals! My deepest love is for German Shepherds, but will treat your animals as my own! I am a student at Kansas State with a very low workload. I would love to help out as many ways as I can! Your pets are my priority! I love to spend time with animals of all sizes, and know how important exercise and companionship is in their day to day life. Something I take pride in is spending as much one on one time with them as I can to make sure their normal daily routine is not interrupted while you are away.
About: I've worked with over 1000's of dogs of all temperaments. Shy or nervous rescue dogs are no problem! I have done some dog rehabilitation with behavioral issues and some light training as well as regular walking for clients from Manhattan Kansas, Columbus Georgia and San Antonio Texas. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. I have a dog park down the street if that is a part of your dogs routine and grooming supplies on hand if you'd like your dog to be clean and smelling fresh the day they're due to go home. I never stop learning about dogs so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. For your pets sleeping or daytime napping arrangements I try to mimic their home routine as much as possible. I also provide pick up and drop off. I have a jeep that is secured with a pet friendly cabin space for allowed comfortability for your pet during transport. I am currently a full-time active duty service member in the army stationed on Fort Riley Ks. I am a single mother as well. Typically my day starts at 5 AM and which I take my golden doodle outside for a walk or a potty break and breakfast my workday usually starts at 9 AM and typically ends at 2:30 PM, as I do have a dog myself between two and 3:30 PM we visit the dog park and we go on about an hour walk each day during that time. From then on we are at home where she has a backyard where she roams freely and I continue doing schoolwork or tend to heads that I am boarding I have a fenced in backyard in which my golden doodle roams throughout the day I also have a spare room and dedicated to the pets that I have, which includes a doggy bed, crate, extra food, bowls, extra leashes, and colors, things of that nature, as well as plenty of toys
About: I had a German Shepard in my dorm for a month (without getting caught) and driving a hour away to take care of neighbors cat I can make my schedule very flexible for anyone that is willing to let me take care of their pets. Mobile and on time period. I make sure I need to know everything about the specific dog I take care of, and I look up things for that specific dog.

“Victoria was exactly what we were hoping for when finding a new dog sitter. She was extremely accommodating with all our schedule needs and took amazing care of our two dogs (one senior dog and one puppy). We couldn’t have asked for more peace of mind when traveling with Victoria watching our pups! Highly recommend.”
“If I could give Nora 20 stars I would! She is always so good to us and she’s amazing with my fur babies. She is so kind, caring, and an amazing communicator. Everyone should book with her, except on the weekends we need her ❤️😂 I’m not sure how we would survive without her!”
“Alyssa is amazing!!! She kept us updated the entire week she had Walter with pictures, videos and messages! She took him on walks and game him lots of love! She’s the best (and so is Butters, her pup!)! Highly recommend!!”
“Randi was our first Rover experience and it was amazing. Super communicative, very caring! The peace of mind to travel during the holidays was absolutely priceless.”
“A++ "Sitter"!! I would highly recommend using Courtney for your pets/furry family members care. She was very professional, polite, and took such great care of our dog, Moose. He actually seemed to miss her when we picked him up and she drove back home! ❤️ Even though, she had her own life and things to do, etc...she was very quick to respond, kept in constant contact with our Family, and even took pictures and video of Moose for us and our 7 year old Son. She was understanding, compassionate, and without hesitation was "there for all of us" when unforseen changes or issues occurred. She definitely goes above and beyond to help and be supportive of our requests and needs. In the future, we plan our requesting her again; and, at this point do not plan on asking anyone else to care for our loved one except her! This was the first time we have used a "Sitter," and we truly feel she should have a more deserving "title." She was more than just a dog sitter for us. The services she provided; included, sincerity, love and care of Moose as her own, and unconditional, heartfelt care toward our situation and family as a whole. Within only a few days, Courtney has made us feel like she has always been a part of lives and in our hearts. She is more than that title. We feel she has become a part of our little "Family Unit." She is just an "extended Family member" 🤗. Thank you, Courtney for everything! We are so very thankful and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and have you care for Moose. You are a true Blessing!!”
“Kymberly was wonderful! She took my booking at the last minute and then worked with us as we had schedule changes. She was prompt with communicating and provided regular updates on our dogs. They were well taken care of and we'll use her services again!”
“Great communication, very caring and loving. Our fur-sweetheart came home happy and relaxed. Willing to do meet and greet and photo/video updates provided. Our minds were at ease knowing that our fur-sweetheart was properly being cared for and given lots of love. Would definitely recommend and schedule again!”
“Sydney was awesome! She did a great job administering meds and looking after my pup! She sent pictures frequently and was also great about communicating when he had an instance of not feeling well. Definitely recommend!”
“Jessica was a lifesaver! She took our last minute booking without a hitch and was so professional when a health concern came up with Luna. She handled it perfectly and kept us updated the whole time. She really goes above and beyond we felt totally at ease knowing Luna was in such great hands. We highly recommend Jessica if you need your dog watched!”
“Claire was absolutely wonderful! She was very thorough, and paid close attention to all instructions and made a point to stick to my dog’s medication routine. She communicated well throughout the stay, and clearly loves animals! My pup had an awesome time and was so comfortable during his stay. I felt very reassured that he was in good hands, and would 100% book her again!”
“Whitney provided hands down the best rover experience anybody could ask for. She sent pictures, kept us updated, and communicated consistently, and her overall care for Julio was exceptional. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend 20/10.”
“Jessi was our first experience with dog boarding. She was excellent. She sent pictures everyday and interacted with our puppy like she was her own. Which is exactly what we wanted. We will be using her again!”
“Ash was just wonderful!! She provided a “meet and greet” before the booking, was a great communicator throughout our pup’s stay and sent daily pictures. Will definitely use her again!”
“Definitely want to have her watch Ace and Frodo again. Ace has really bad anxiety and it’s rare that he warms up to people. But while he was in her home he made himself right at home. He was so comfortable and love it there he didn’t want to leave lol ?”
“She was great with Nora! She was super accommodating with my last minute booking and everything went smoothly. Very flexible with our pick up and drop off times which I appreciate. Would recommend her serviced!”
About: I have worked in a mix of animal care, environments, includinga rescue, multiple dog daycare/boarding facilities, grooming, and volunteered at pet shelters. I understand how important exercise can be for all fur babies. I believe a positive and vibrant environment benefits all pets. All animals need attention and I am willing to give them 100% and nothing less than satisfactory. I carry portable bowls, water bottles, snacks, and clean up bags on hand at all times. Expect photo updates of your precious fur babies during walks and boardings. During my time, I learned about appropriately introducing dogs, how to care and attend to every dogs need, and how to interpret their behavior. Your family member will not go without walks, play time, food, water, snacks, kisses, cuddles, and of course loads of love.
“Definitely book with Krystal. We had a last minute cancellation with another sitter and I’m actually so glad she cancelled because that led us to Krystal. I messaged her and she was able to do a meet and greet at the last minute and was willing to watch our girl for the weekend. Her dog is the sweetest and got along great with ours. Krystal sent daily updates and treated our girl like her own. We’ll definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life. My grandfather was a dog trainer and when I went to visit him, I helped him care for any of the dogs he had at the time. I currently have a 1.5 year old Husky German Shepherd mix. She has PRAA so I have become very comfortable with special feeding instructions as a result. I work during during the week. I am home everyday by approximately 12pm. On the weekends I am home all the time, we live a 5 minute drive or 10 minute walk from a dog park and we love going all the time. I have a large fenced in backyard. We live on a quiet street and all of our neighbors are very friendly. My dog loves sitting out in the backyard on the deck or playing fetch.
