“Stephanie was able to watch our 10 year old Daniff on short notice, and he had the absolute best time!! He made so many new friends, but Stephanie was also great at giving him his old-man alone time! She sent lots of pictures and updates, and we will absolutely be using her again!”
“Deanna was great with the boys while we were gone and the big snow storm that name in the day we left!!! Im so thankful she has a backyard for the boys to run in and get some exercise while they play in the snow! The boys seem to love going the to visit!”
“Kristy was a lifesaver as my family and I transitioned from overseas to stateside! She was patient and flexible with our boarding date needing to change unexpectedly. The nightly pictures were great and I knew our pups were in amazing care! Thank you!!”
“I received many photos and updates while my dog was with Lucy. I would highly recommend Lucy for your next pet sitting needs! She took great care of my dog 🩷”
“Sara was great! Our pup got a stomach bug when he was with her and she had to deal with a lot, but took it in stride and made sure he was taken care of. She communicated well through the entire process, took great care of our pup, took him for walks, and let him snuggle up.”
“Such a warm and welcoming family and home. And Auggie had so much fun playing with Simon and Pearl. It made our quick trip so relaxing to know he was being so loved and taken care of….”
“Wonderful experience!!! This was our first time using Rover, and our first time leaving our dog with someone outside of family and close friends. I am a nervous dog mom, and I really didn’t want to board her in a kennel. Angie seemed like a perfect fit, and meeting her confirmed our good choice. She sent daily updates and pictures. Our dog was so well taken care of, and we could not have asked for a nicer family. Smoochy was excited to see us when we picked her up a few days later, but she didn’t seem in a hurry to go home either. I think she would have been content staying indefinitely 😂. Angie is a wonderful communicator and it’s clear their family and home is a pet-friendly haven. Would highly recommend and will definitely book with them again if we are back in the area.”
“Molly seems to have enjoyed her time with Evelyn and clearly she enjoyed playing hall with the boys. Molly ate her food, which is a sign she was comfortable and not too lonely.”
“Luna loves Griffin & Gloria! Griffin is very attentive to Luna and us, he is always making sure we get tons of pictures and videos of her while away from us.”
“Second time Louie has stayed with Michelle and Bradley. He loves being there, is well cared for and enjoys their dog, Joni. Michelle and Bradley are clear communicators and great representatives of Rover.”
“Kasey and her daughter Izzy took AMAZING care of our sweet puppy. She sent updates throughout every day and made me assured that she was getting taken care of as if she were her own puppy. They sent videos and pictures and loved on her so much!”
“RaeAnn and her partner took amazing care of Kennedy while I was away. She sent daily updates with pictures and embraced his weird personality and habits. He has horrible storm anxiety and she made sure he was as comfortable as he could be while it was storming. Truly the best dog sitting experience we’ve had!”
“Kelly- Thank you so much for taking such great care of Addie! This was my first time boarding her with you and it was a wonderful experience for both of us. It is clear Kelly has a lot of experience with dogs and their different behaviors. You and your husband are so compassionate and caring, and it is obvious how much you truly enjoy pet sitting. Kelly sent daily updates and pictures. She is also an excellent communicator, and I had complete peace of mind knowing Addie was in such great hands. Will definitely utilize Kelly again. Mary Ann A.”

“Valerie took great care of my kitties while out of town! She was very responsive and communicative. She made sure to keep them comfortable and feeling loved. She was able to administer medication for one of my cats as well.”
“Mackenzie was so amazing! She stayed right on schedule and made sure to communicate with me each day and even helped me recognize that i incorrectly scheduled her assistance plan and got it all squared away for me. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”

“Eva was always prompt to check in on my cat in the mornings while I was gone, giving her multiple pills and lots of attention with her favorite toy. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kylee was a WONDERFUL Rover sitter! She was on time based on our agreement every day, she treated my pup like her own, and sent the best pictures! I will definitely book her again! (Once Coronavirus allows me to get back to business as usual).”
About: I've been around cats my entire life and have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats. I understand feline behavior, respect each cat's individual personality, and strive to provide loving, reliable care that helps them feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“I’ve used Rover as a caretaker but never as a pet parent before and Jake calmed all my nerves! He kept me updated with pictures and notes about how Obie was doing in my absence. Seeing Obie warm up to Jake and become friends was so sweet. I’ll use him again in the future.”
“Casey was fantastic. He cared for our cat in our home and treated both our pet and our space with a lot of respect. Everything was just as we left it. He took the time to give our (very people-loving, slightly needy!) cat extra attention, including outdoor time and plenty of snuggles, which we really appreciated. He made sure our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and kept us updated with great communication the entire time. I would definitely recommend him and would happily book with him again.”
“Ryan did a great job and the pets loved him! We appreciate him taking our last minute request and will definitely consider him if the need arises in the future!”

“Brittany was great and Ovi had a great time staying with she and her family! Very flexible and personable and made sure every detail about his care was attended to. And their dog Franklin was a great companion for Ovi!”
“Sampson had a wonderful time at Jessica's for daycare. She was able to accommodate us on short notice. She was very kind and updated me with pictures of Sampson as he played. Sampson slept very well after his day of daycare.”
“Amma was awesome! Her pictures were amazing and she kept me up to date on how Luna was doing with the pack during the daycare. I highly recommend Anna for anyone who is looking for someone to look after their pup!”
About: I've been fostering the last few years and have experience with all sizes and types of dogs. I'm great with puppies and seniors. Our daily routine is consistent and calm. I love getting out for walks and spending a some time in the backyard a few times a day. I work from home and can provide potty breaks as needed. If I have to be out it will be between 1 and 4 hours. We have a good routine at our house of getting out for a walk or backyard sniff session every morning and evening. I work from home, have a fenced in yard and a very calm home environment. I have a 35 lb dog, Charlie who sleeps all day. We live in a quiet neighborhood that's great for walks. If I go out it's usually about 1 or 2 hours and rarely up to 4 hours. If I have more than one dog, I never leave them in the same space while I'm gone... or when feeding. I'm a small human :) 5 ft tall so while I'm happy to take larger dogs they do need to be leash trained for their safety and mine. Puppies need to be crate trained for their safety too.
“Shauna took such good care of Luna! The booking was on such short notice and Luna deals with a lot of separation anxiety, but Shauna handled her very well and I was happy to not have to worry too much! Gonna turn to her again if Luna needs another sitter.”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy with anyone and Ashlyn sent me updates and pictures assuring me he was adjusting well. He had so much fun. I will definitely use Ashlyn again when I need a dog sitter!”
“Madolyn provided daycare for our 9 month old golden doodle for a few weeks while he was recovering from his neutering and did a wonderful job! Sent cute pictures, took great care of him, and was easy to work with! Highly recommend.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your dog feels right at home. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've worked with rescue organizations as a foster, helping dogs transition into loving forever homes. That experience has given me patience, confidence, and the ability to care for pets with a variety of temperaments and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor their care to match their routine. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining exercise routines, and providing plenty of love and attention while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I know every pet is unique, and I look forward to getting to know yours and treating them like one of my own. Every dog's ideal day looks a little different, and I do my best to match their routine so they feel right at home. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Mornings typically start with a potty break, breakfast (if that's part of their schedule), and some playtime or a walk. Throughout the day, dogs can relax inside our spacious home, enjoy supervised time in our fenced backyard, or play with my two friendly dogs if they enjoy canine companionship. My older dog, Colby, is calm and loves to lounge around, making her a great companion for senior or more relaxed dogs. Swiss is younger, playful, and always happy to have a buddy to run around with. Whether your dog prefers to play or simply nap in a sunny spot, they'll have a companion that matches their energy level. The evenings are all about more outdoor time, cuddles, dinner, and winding down before bed. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're on their own little vacation while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home provides a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, there's plenty of space for dogs to spread out, nap, or simply be part of the family. I carefully introduce new dogs to my own pets to ensure everyone is comfortable. My two resident dogs are well-trained, friendly, and accustomed to sharing their home with visiting dogs through my rescue and fostering experience. Because I work from home, I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, monitor playtime, and give each dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I understand that every pet has unique routines and preferences, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, and any special instructions to help them feel right at home.
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my puppy. She sent me photo updates throughout the day and gave him plenty of attention. He was so worn out after his day at Victoria’s he was asleep before we got out of the neighborhood. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Christine was great to watch Chloe for an evening while we went out. We liked being able to do a meet and greet prior. Appreciated the secure backyard. It was comforting to know our girl was in good hands while we were gone.”
“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”
About: Hi! We’re Sara and Courtney 🐾—a reliable, dog-loving duo offering dog sitting, overnight care, and dog walking with lots of personalized attention. What makes us different? Your dog gets consistent, all-day care and companionship—not just quick drop-ins. Sara works from home, so your pup will have someone there throughout the day for supervision, playtime, walks, and snuggles. We offer: ✔️ Overnight stays (in our home or yours) ✔️ Full-time in-home sitting (we actually stay, not just visit) ✔️ Dog walking for exercise, enrichment, or midday breaks ✔️ Medication administration + senior dog experience ✔️ Plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away In our home, dogs are treated like family—couch time, cuddles, and daily walks included. In your home, we keep your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Courtney works in healthcare and is trained in canine CPR, with experience fostering senior dogs who need extra care. Sara loves keeping dogs mentally engaged with training, play, and enrichment. Our goal is simple: a safe, loving, low-stress experience for your dog—and total peace of mind for you. Let us know how we can help—we’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐶💛 We’d be honored to care for your pup and give them all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away!! We are available to sit during the weekdays, weekends and some holidays! We have a fenced-in backyard with a doggie door, allowing your pup to come and go as they please. I also have a large metal crate for crate-trained dogs, but if your dog is used to roaming the house, that's fine too. Additionally, I have multiple dog beds, blankets, and toys available.
About: My job is to help your dog(s) be most comfortable while you're away. Be it through daily exercise, romps through the dog or neighborhood park, constant rub downs and playing chase, your pup(s) won't even have a moment to realize you're gone, but they'll still be thrilled to see you when you get home. I've been dog sitting for over 20 years and have experience with various types of dogs, dog personalities, and health conditions. Contact me to watch your pooch(es) and you won't regret it! I love dogs and walk my dog regularly. My dog loves being around other dogs but we’re a single dog house for our full-time lives. I’d love my dog to get some extra friend time while I get to love on other pups. I have a fenced yard, the perfect raised deck for puppy tv, yard leashes (if needed), a crate (if needed), several bedroom options if your pup needs a quiet place to rest, and sooo many dog beds! I do use furniture protectors to keep my couches clean for the humans but it allows the dogs to live among us on our elevated perches.
“My pup Addie went to Kelly's home for a doggy day care. Kelly immediately made her feel right at home. Kelly & her husband took extra time and care playing a lot with Addie and lots of cuddles and also took extra precaution as it was so hot outside. Addie is looking forward to the next 6 days with Kelly. I was updated with pics and could see how much fun Addie was having. We are leaving our pup in great hands. Mary Ann A”
About: I have been a pet owner for over 40 years. I work from home, so I am always available for your precious pets! I also have a half an acre, fully gated yard-for plenty of space to roam! I am great with dogs, and also the Purrfect Cat Sitter! I work from home, so that allows me the flexibility to have extra daytime snuggles. I have always been great with animals, so a Sitter spot on Rover is totally a perfect fit for me! My home is gated around the half acre perimeter, and very pet friendly. If away with a client in their home- I make sure the animals have ample space to get to know me on their terms, as often they might be sad to be in the care of someone other than their #1's. I believe their comfort and safety is most important, so I strive to be their favorite substitute!
About: I am extremely confident in providing excellent care for your animals! Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I have never been without a pet! I have had big dogs and small dogs. They are all the best. My schedule is very flexible, I am a stay at home mom. I would be able to spend lots of one on one time with your sweet pets. I have had a lot of experience with taking care of different animals and I pet sit often. You won’t have to worry about missing your animals, I’ll send updates often for you to know how they’re doing! I would be very happy to meet and take care of your fur baby! I have a flexible schedule that guarantees your animals needs to be fit into that and properly cared for providing them lots of love and attention I take my dog on many walks around my neighborhood and also play fetch with him out in my large yard so that he can run around and get energy out.
About: I have had both dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Of all ages and sizes. I have watched others pets while they went on vacation. I can provide pretty much all care you require. I work from home so I will be there to care for your pets all day. If I have to run out for an errand my fiancé will be home so your pet will almost always have someone with them. I am willing to let dogs out as much as they need, play with them in our back yard, take walks, and snuggle them at night if your pet desires. We have our own dog who likes all of these things as well.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”

“Michael was great! Super quick to respond and willing to help on extremely short notice. My boyfriend and I are super sick and he took time out of his evening to come help our puppy get rid of some energy on a long walk. Much appreciated!”
“Emily went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable since we are new to having a dog walker. Emily’s updates and pictures were fantastic. Cyrus loved her snuggles and pets! He was nice and tired after a 2 mile walk.”
About: My heart has always been devoted to dogs ever since I was little. We’ve always had a family dog(s) and I was blessed with my very own little furbaby April 2017. I have a 7 yo golden retriever who is a ball of energy! I am very active; love running and have volunteered at multiple animal shelters. I’m familiar with insulin injections and pill administration. I do work from home now and have a fairly flexible schedule. I recently bought a house.. for my dog ...and he loves his big backyard. It's fenced in and gives him plenty of room to run around and play fetch. Feel free to ask me any questions :) I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule during the day. My personal gets let out whenever he wants and am open to mornings, evenings and weekends Safety is first. I always check that dogs are not prone to jumping fences, are okay on walks or ask if there’s anything I should know (dart after squirrels or cars, pull, etc). When they stay over they are let out frequently and I’m usually home aside from running errands or going to dinner/ movies. Always fresh water.
About: I have cared for and owned animals of all shapes and sizes for my entire life, including dogs, cats, horses, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, pigs, and goats! I am very experienced in feeding, watering, cleaning up after them, administering medication and supplements, playing, and snuggling. I am also very active, so I would love to take your dog of any size on a walk or run! I'm currently working part-time and my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily work around your and your pet's needs! I will always treat your animals like they are my own, so their care and happiness is my number one priority, no matter what else is going on in my schedule. I am extremely clean, organized, and reliable. I used to work for the government with a Classified clearance, and I have been certified in CPR and First Aid. I am also very tech savvy and handy, so rest assured I will close and lock every gate, door, and alarm with ease.
“Sarah is always so great with my dog and he loves going on walks with her! She is so quick to respond to messages and really flexible with my hectic schedule! Would definitely recommend her working with any and all dogs :)”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have two boxers and a morkie (Maltese Yorkie mix). I used to work part-time at a vet clinic so I have experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I currently work part time at a doggy daycare. I currently have a lot of free time so although I have dogs of my own I will have plenty of time and energy to care for your fur babies! I have plenty of experience with walking (and playing with) dogs of all sizes. I also have experience giving dogs and cats medication such as pills, injections, or topical. I have also pet-sit cats a many times, just checking in every day or even staying with them so I can feed, water, and play with them.
About: I offer a fun but structured environment where your pet can feel like part of the family. I have lifelong experience with taking care of and training dogs of all different breeds and backgrounds. As a stay-at-home mom of two school-aged kids and a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am home mostly all day, and ready to cater to whatever schedule your pup might already be used to. When your pup is here, they will become part of the furry family. I will keep feeding, walks, and playtime consistent with their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and settled. Since I’m home most of the day, they get plenty of attention and play. Most importantly they aren’t left alone for long periods. We also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play.
About: Hi there! My name is Leslie and I would love to watch after your pet. My family has dogs for most of my life and I know how to take care of them. I can walk, play with, or even just stop in to check on your pet. I adore dogs and I welcome all breeds. Cats are no issue either! I’ve lived with a cat in the past too :) Please contact me if you would like to arrange something! I’m happy to make any accommodations that may be necessary. Can't wait to meet your furry friend! :) - Leslie I currently work full-time. I’m in office Tuesday-Thursday and work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I’m flexible with work on Mondays and Fridays to assist, but Tuesday-Thursday is a bit tougher for me. I could stop in to check on them before or after work. I’ll be sure to make it known if I am ever unavailable during a time slot you request. I will not be hosting any pets in my own home, but I can visit your pet at your house. Please let me know how you need me to care for your pet and I'll take care of him/her! :)

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for dogs and my personalized approach to each pet’s needs. I’ve had dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors, and I absolutely love them all—no matter the size! I miss having a dog around since going off to college, and working with your doggo is the perfect opportunity to get my fix! Plus, I offer daily updates so you can feel at ease while you're away. I currently work full-time as a HR Generalist for a local Industrial Sales company. I work a hybrid schedule so Monday and Tuesdays are in office and Wednesday-Friday are from home. I already try to manage my schedule in sections and like to take a break in the middle of most days to recharge and get outside when it is nice. I could use this time to travel to your locations and offer potty breaks for the animals. I'm pretty open on the weekends without commitments so putting your animal first will always be important. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for them. I stick to their usual routine, from feeding times to playtime and walks, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. I maintain open communication, providing regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing. I also make sure to keep your home tidy, following any specific instructions you provide regarding your pet's needs or preferences. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or going for a walk in the neighborhood, I treat your pet like my own, offering love and attention every step of the way.

“Griffin is amazing!! So very glad we found him. He is fantastic with dogs (including our high energy black lab big “puppy”). He is incredibly reliable, great communication, and goes the extra mile. He leaves detailed notes with tons of pictures about our pup’s walks and really cares about our dog and her well being and health. Thank you, Griffin!”
“James was walking my dogs for almost 3 weeks. He was remarkably punctual . I have two large dogs and James was able to handle them both at once. He was great with my dogs and they loved him, they are still watching the door waiting for him to come and get them for a walk. I would certainly recommend James to anyone who is looking for a responsible and punctual dog walker. I will definitely use his services in future.”
About: I grew up with dogs and all of my kids have dogs, so not only am I a grandpa, I was a dog grandpa first! I also sit and love cats. They always find me. Had four dogs in my house for many times watching when my kids traveled, but now they moved so I have more time to get my fur feed. I take walks and would love to walk your pups but also can follow your guidelines doing the best to keep their routine. I work from home but occasionally have appointments outside of the home, so I am very available to work with your schedule. I will share my schedule with you when booking. I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walking. Friendly home environment with access to fresh food/water and sunshine. Your dog/cat will be well-loved.
About: Animals have been a lifelong part of my life. I grew up around farm animals and have owned and cared for dogs ranging in size from a Toy Poodle to a Great Dane. I also raised a puppy through the Leader Dogs for the Blind puppy-raising program in Michigan and have experience training dogs in both obedience and agility. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant at two veterinary clinics, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, ages and needs. I especially love learning about canine behavior and training and am always reading and continuing to learn. I’m currently working with my daughter as she learns about showing dogs with the goal of becoming an AKC Junior Handler. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine, and I prioritize safety, communication and making pets feel comfortable while their people are away. I’m happy to provide photos and updates during every visit. I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to provide walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, making me a great fit for pets who need a midday walk, potty break, meal, medication, playtime or companionship while their owners are at work or away. I also offer evening and weekend availability when my schedule allows and am happy to discuss recurring weekly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my first priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s normal routine, temperament, handling preferences and any special instructions before providing care. During visits, I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes and other potential safety concerns and will always follow your care instructions closely. My previous experience working as a veterinary assistant has made me particularly observant of changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and will treat your home, privacy and belongings with respect. I provide dependable communication and am happy to send photos and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.
About: Hello my name is Anna! I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been dog sitting for my family for years. I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes, including high energy breeds and have had experience with many different dog personalities. I have such a passion for animals and I can not wait to shower your pets with love and care. I am a nurse, so I am very responsible and am comfortable administering medications to your pup or cat. I do work full-time as a nurse but have a flexible schedule. Please contact me with any questions you many have. I promise to love your pet as my own and I can't wait to meet your dog or cat!

Dana was up to the task and kept us well informed of Frankie’s adjusting and her new friends that she made during her stay.

“Elizabeth gave great care to my two dogs. They were very happy there. It was such a good experience. So much better than putting them in a kennel. She walked them twice a day and gave them love and attention. I will definitely board my dogs here again.”
“Kasey and her daughter Izzy took AMAZING care of our sweet puppy. She sent updates throughout every day and made me assured that she was getting taken care of as if she were her own puppy. They sent videos and pictures and loved on her so much!”
“cassie and ben were absolutely incredible! super down to earth people. helped us out in a pinch while on vacation and wanted a safe spot for our pup to play for a few hours. definitely recommend!”
“Sofia was amazing through this whole process, she took such good care of my baby. I was super nervous to have him boarded somewhere for the first time but she kept me updated regularly and was always in contact to reaasure. She was also super understanding and flexible with our schedule, accepted my booking last minute and even agreed to extend our booking when something came up. I appreciate her excellent care would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again if available!”
“Christina and her partner James took amazing care of my anxious pup, Toast. She sent consistent updates that made me feel at peace with leaving him. The best part of all is that I came back to a very normal dog. He was very comfortable in their space and became friends with their sweet dog, Gizmo. Toast slept in bed with them every night and he wasnt left alone, like I was worried. I will 100% be using them again. I was so happy with how everything went!”
