“Samantha was great watching my cats last minute. She ensured they had a cooldown space and company when they were ready. On top of all that, she’s just super cool person.”
“Kylie is simply amazing. You can tell that she truly cares for the pets in her care by their reactions because they are calm and so happy. When my babygirl is with her, I have no worries because I know shes safe and loved. I’m sure Cleo will miss being around her and her family. I know I will🥰”
“Keitel is super friendly, responsive, and lives in a safe and nice neighborhood. I received daily pictures and updates. I will definitely be reaching out next time I have a trip!”
“Based on her expertise, Lilly took great care of my cat, Meeruya. I was surprised that Rudy and Lilly got close to my sensitive cat in a short time. Special thanks to Lilly, who understood and cared about my baby’s poop mistakes. She shared the home camera so I could see my pet while I was out of the U.S., and I had no problem communicating with her. She had a strong responsibility and love for Meeruya. I recommend her if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“We are repeat bookers with Heather and her and her family always do a wonderful job. Our pup was well loved and was excited to see her again! Will be booking with Heather again in the future!”
“We left our cocker spaniel, Honey with Aurora and her family for a few nights while we were away on a trip. We had the most at peace mind knowing our Honey girl was very well taken care of with pictures and videos! Will definitely be re booking for future trips! Thanks again ☺️”
“Our dog only stayed a night but Ron was very accommodating to meeting us beforehand to introduce ourselves and our dog. He was also very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and provided a lot of feedback throughout our dog’s stay. We’ll definitely be looking at using him again.”
“Debbie was wonderful to work with! She allowed my boys a preview visit to see how they would all get along being away from me in a strange environment. She sent me pictures daily and answered all my daily inquiries quickly! One of my boys has separation anxiety and he was very well taken care of! I think they enjoyed some socializing with other dogs as a bonus! Nice to know I have a trusted option less than a mile from home, I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Bug is shy and takes some time warming up to people but he warmed up to Zhou so much quicker than expected. Zhou is willing to work with my early morning drop offs which have been such a huge help. Highly recommend!”
“My dog was very well taken care of at Eric's. I received pictures throughout my trip which was very reassuring. Eric is pleasant, helpful and easy to work with. He was a very good sitter for my precious dog! I'll use him again.”
“My sweet baby Princess was with Chloe and her family for a month due to a sudden family situation. I was given consistent updates with pictures and she was taken care of very well. I'm so happy everything went well and I will be sure to use Chloe again in the future.”
“Nana Cheryl definitely treated our girl like she was one of her own. She sent lots of pictures and updates and our pup was happy and worn out when she got home from all of the love and play time she received. Would highly recommend Cheryl!”

“Kylee was amazing!! We have 2 high energy dogs and she handled them beautifully, lots of attention and activity. She was communicative and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!”
“I really want to appreciate you for sticking by my cats side during their after surgery healing. I feel awful for bee biting. But you stuck by her side afterwards. You communicated so well and the pictures helped giving me some relief.”
“This is my first time using Roverand and after meeting Dennis and his Wife I knew my adventure buddy was in great hands. I was able to enjoy visit with family and see I wasn't the only one on vacation 😂. Boarding is no longer a stresser, thank you Dennis and bee will be seeing you soon!”

About: I am the girl who sees a dog out in public and will always give it a belly rub! I have had dogs and cats since I was born but fully took on the responsibility of dog/cat watching, feeding, walking, and over all care for about 6 years now. I have 2 families I have consistently dog watched for 2 years now but am happy to meet more furry friends. My own personal fuzzy companions consist of 4 dogs and 5 cats! I am currently a full time student at Wichita State University. I am in Student Ambassador Society and in then sorority Alpha Phi. I am only in school 4 out of the 7 days, as well as long breaks between classes and a flexible schedule! I am well experienced with reactive dogs, dog kennels and crates, and friends who pull what feels like double my body weight on long walks. I am comfortable with over night care and well as assisting with appointments!
“Mariella did a great job taking care of my 2 cats while I was away. She was responsive, timely, and followed all of the care instructions. I appreciated the picture updates and felt confident that my kitties were well cared for. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Veronica is so awesome! She takes such good care of our fur babies and even waters our outside plants so they won’t die while we are away. I have such piece of mind while I’m gone knowing she is taking care of things at a home. She’s the best!”
About: I am very experienced with all kinds of cats. From the finicky quiet ones to the playful pouncers, I can meet your kitty where they are and respect their boundaries. I have raised kittens multiple times and have years of experience with litterbox scooping.
About: Hello! I am hoping to make a little extra money doing something I love outside of my 9-5 job and helping ensure cats around town are getting a little extra attention while their parents are away. 😊 Life-long lover, caretaker, and friend of cats. There has never been a time when I haven’t had a cat or two or three… and I currently have three (Suki, Sinbad, and Gilly). I have experience working at a vet clinic caring for and medicating cats and dogs, as well as following specific care instructions to ensure pet parents’ preferences were met. Caring for cat colonies in downtown Wichita has also become a hobby of mine, which is very rewarding knowing that just a meal can make a kitty’s entire day. I am excited to meet your fur babies and give them the best care and companionship!
“Christian took wonderful care of our pets while we were away! She was reliable and attentive, giving us so much peace of mind knowing our furry family was in good hands. She handled our older dog, needy kitten, and diabetic cat with no problems. It was clear she genuinely cared for them, and we came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. We truly appreciated her help and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you again, Christian!”

One of our dog is not easy around people but he can make her trust him.The other one falls in love with him and waiting Jacob to rub his belly. I 'd definitely have him to take care our dogs again, also his kindness to feed a homeless cat volunteering. Communication was great and we were so happy to see our dogs pictures everyday. Thanks Jacob. .”
About: I’ve grow up with cats and dogs my whole life and caring for pets has always came natural to me. I’ve also worked at an animal clinic and doggy daycare for a period of 4 years. There I was able to gain experience caretaking for cats, dogs, birds, and even reptiles. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and even administering some medications when needed. These days i’m usually the go-to for my friends and family when they need a petsitter, and I truly care for each animal to be treated as my own. Being with animals naturally fits into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. My schedule is flexible with school so I can easily make time for walks, feedings, and playtimes. My goal is to treat every pet and home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow directions closely to make sure clients feel at peace knowing their pets are safe and comfortable.
About: Hi! I’m Shane. I spent several years as an Animal Care Technician at a local humane society, where caring for cats was part of my everyday job. I’ve worked with kittens, senior cats, shy cats, and rescues that needed extra patience and understanding. Outside of work, I’ve raised one of my own kittens from just 2 weeks old and have successfully introduced six cats into the same household over time by taking things slowly and respecting each cat’s personality and comfort level. That experience taught me that patience goes a long way with cats. Whether your cat enjoys playing, getting attention, or simply having someone quietly care for them while you’re away, I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, administering medications, and giving each cat the care they deserve.
About: My name is Faith and I am a young professional here in Wichita. I love all animals but dogs are my favorite! I have an 8 year old cocker spaniel and a new rescue girl who is 4 of my own so I love to take dogs on walk and let them explore the outside world. I have lots of love to go around so I am 110% okay with any breed of dog, any age or size! I will make sure they get lots of attention and cuddles while they are also being taken care of. I want to make sure that your pet has a great time while you are away and that they get the care they need! I also have grown up with cats so I am comfortable taking care of all types of pets! During the week I am predominantly free in the evenings and nights but can be flexible in the day time. I work during the week but I am able to make most times work within my schedule. I am all about the animals safety and comfort. My own dog is very anxious so I am comfortable with dogs who struggle in vetting situations and I am comfortable crating dogs as well. I want to make sure they are comfortable and everyone is safe

“Linda took great care in reviewing and understanding the needs of my pup. We did a brief introduction to be sure her pets and mine would get along and I was very comfortable leaving him with her.

“Debbie and her husband are amazing with my Gus. He’s a big boy at 93 lbs and they have plenty of space for him. After only two visits he is so comfortable around them. Thank you for being so sweet to him!”
About: I have been a vet tech for 10 years. It is my passion. I had a disabled boxer so I am familiar with need to help disabled pets. I currently share custody of an energetic border collie. My 14 year old daughter loves to assist me when caring for your pet, please let me know if that is okay. I do work full time. If the pet is staying at your house, time permitting, I will check on them before work, lunch, and spend time after work with them. I will treat every pet as if they are mine. I normally feed twice a day and go outside as often as possible; weather permitting of course. If anything seems off, I have experience and a clinic I can take them too if needed.
“My family and I are very glad that we found Keitel to care for Goldendoodle (Meelo). As dog lovers, we always wants to ensure that our fur buddy is taken care off in our absence. Keitel check all the blocks and exceed our expectations. Keitel is not only great with dogs but also very knowledgeable with them. Keitel afford my wife and I the opportunity to meet him in advance for us to ensure that the environment was suitable for our Goldendoodle. Throughout the stay, Keitel and his family treated Meelo as if he was his own. We received regular updates and pictures of Meelo and his new favorite family. Meelo was pampered and well taken care of and our mind was at ease. We can’t wait to rebook you again. I highly recommend Keitel to anyone looking for a doggie day care.”
“Zhou took excellent care of our two dogs, Mochi and Chipotle, for two nights, three days while we were away. From the beginning, he was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and happy. He made sure they were fed, walked, and well cared for, and he kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were in good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Zhou again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and volunteered at the humane society- I have also had dogs and cats for 17 years of my life! Currently, I have purposely left my schedule completely open for pet care during the week. I am available day or night, 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog in my home. I am very good at reading dog body language and knowing their limits while caring for them.
“Cheryl was wonderful with Dixie and Luna. She had plenty of fenced yard for them and even welcomed them into her house and bed to watch tv🤣. She also sent plenty of pictures which always helps when you’re away from your babies. I would not hesitate to take them to her again.”
“I was really impressed with Halie , she was the first sitter I chose with Rover in Wichita . I always used Rover when i lived in Florida and always had a good experience , I could find someone last minute and the app is very user friendly .I am a nurse and due to the pandemic I work long hours and weekends .

She sent me updates and pics while I was at work to keep me informed . I will definitely be using Halle again to watch Gizmo , she is awesome !”
About: I currently work as a zookeeper and have years of wild and domestic animal experience. Working with wild animals means I have a much deeper understanding of animal husbandry, psychology, and behavior that allows me to provide better care for your pet! I'm especially comfortable around and handling large dogs due to the nature of my job. Professionally, I have cared for a variety of wild animals including large cats like lions, tigers, and leopards, dolphins, seals and sea lions, and several canid species. That being said, I'm able to provide a deeper level of personalized care. I currently work 5 days a week, usually Wednesday-Sunday. On my weekend, I'm home all day. On my workdays, I'm able to leave during lunch to provide dogs with potty breaks. There is a dog park within walking distance of my apartment that I bring my dogs to every morning and evening. I do also have a dog potty set up inside my apartment just in case a dog can't wait for me to get home. I provide this because I personally wouldn't make myself hold it, so I would never force a dog to do the same. I provide a very safe, relaxing environment where your dog will be treated like family. I approach care with a proactive approach, rather than reactive. This means I always keep a close eye on individual pet behavior as subtle cues can indicate how a pet is feeling at a given moment. Many pet owners miss out on these cues, especially if they aren't trained to look for them. Overall, this means I try my best to create a safe environment for and trusting bond with any animal I work with via positive reinforcement and never push past an individual's limits.
About: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and couldn’t imagine our home without them! We currently have three adopted pups from the Kansas Humane Society, and over the past three years we’ve also fostered 11 dogs through KHS — including 5 puppies. Caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels has taught us how important patience, routine, and a loving environment are for every pup. While we don’t feel experienced enough to do any official training, we provide a safe, playful, and affectionate home where dogs are treated like family. Our three dogs love making new friends, and our 9-year-old is a certified ball-throwing expert who adores helping play with visiting pups! I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a 1-year-old who absolutely loves dogs, and I’m always closely supervising interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. Our home is set up to accommodate different temperaments and needs, with three separate spaces — a finished downstairs area, living room, and kitchen/coffee nook — that can be used for dogs who prefer a quieter environment, slower introductions, or their own low-energy space. We know how important it is to trust the people caring for your dog, and we’ll treat your fur baby with the same love and attention we give our own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time, attention, and energy to devote to caring for your pups! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days and times throughout the week aside from the occasional appointment or family activity. When my 9-year-old is out of school, he’s my biggest helper and loves spending time playing fetch and giving extra attention to our furry friends. My 1-year-old is also a huge fan of dogs and happily tags along on walks and outdoor time. Our days are full of play, cuddles, potty breaks, and lots of love, so your pup will always have company and care while they’re with us! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and three friendly dogs who love making new friends and providing companionship during your pup’s stay. Because we know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, our home is set up with multiple secure, separate spaces to help everyone feel relaxed and safe. Our finished basement has its own outdoor access and can be completely gated off to provide a calm, private area for dogs who need quieter surroundings, slower introductions, or a break from other pups. We also have a separate gated kitchen/coffee nook area with outdoor access that offers a more social environment while still keeping dogs comfortably separated when needed. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day to closely supervise playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Whether your dog is staying in our home, joining us for walks, or being cared for in your own home, we strive to create a loving, dependable, and low-stress experience for both you and your pet. We also offer drop-in visits and dog walks for local families, and we’re happy to come to your home to feed, let your dog out, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and lots of attention while you’re away. We know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home, and we’ll always treat both with the same care and respect we would want for our own family.
About: I have done rescue work for dogs. I actually have two dogs of my own one. I saved from the Humane Society and one I saved for a rescue who is going to be put to sleep for no reason. I am currently not working so I would be home all of the time with them. They would get all the attention in the world. We have a a fenced in backyard that they would be able to run around in and the cats would be kept inside and fed. What food daily if you please. I have a fenced in backyard and two very very friendly dogs who love new friends. Your dog would be very loved and taken care of. I also have four cats who love to have new friends in they would be very loved and taken care of and would not be let outside at all

I have 2 families I have consistently dog watched for 2 years now but am happy to meet more furry friends. My own personal fuzzy companions consist of 4 dogs and 5 cats!

About: I have always been a dog lover, and I love meeting new pooches! I have sat for many dogs over the years, and have recently trained my own service dog named Dolly Parton. She is my best friend and can meet your dog- or not- we're flexible! I work full time days, but my evenings and weekends are typically free for pet care. If needed I can also take an extended lunch break to check on your pet. I am available to play with your pet at your place or a park if they are up for a drive. I am very active, so if your dog wants to go for a walk or a run, I'm ready to work up a sweat!
About: I have cared for both small and large breed dogs. 1 dog in my care required medication 2 a day. I have not met a dog that didn’t like me. I am retired from the main stream work force and have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies. My schedule is flexible for day visits or extended periods. I am able to stay with your fur babies in your home. I believe this keeps the animal safe and secure without the additional stress of their parents leaving them.
“Kylie is friendly, punctual, and able to accomodate a three/day visit while my husband and I were out of town. I would definitely use Kylie's services again! Thanks, Kylie!”
About: I have a huge heart for pets & animals in general - I have been drawn to them since I can remember! Growing up I used to assist our local vet with surgery prep and wound care. I realized I was meant more for the "loving" of animals rather than the "medical care" when vaccinations or other scary things happened - all I could do was comfort the pet! I have cared for almost every kind of pet there is, and I enjoy giving Moms & Dads the peace of mind I know that I need when I am busy or out of town. I work in West Wichita (my office IS pet friendly if your pup has the right temperament) and my hours are Mon-Thurs from 8am-5pm, and Fridays 8am-3pm. This limits my ability for mid-day stop ins during the week, but I am fully available in the mornings, evenings, and all weekend hours. All pet care routines are different! Since the level of care required can vary greatly from family to family, I offer a few different "versions" of each service, and modify my rates according to time/effort committed. Please reach out if you have a hybrid (drop-in/house-sit/boarding) request - if we are a good match I am confident we can find the right arrangement for your pets needs. I recognize that your fluff-butts are part of your family, and pride myself on the ability to make them feel loved and comfortable while in my care. Photos & videos are consistently sent along with scheduled updates - you will NEVER have to wonder if your pet is happy with me! If booking a longer stay, I prefer to iron out all details of your request with an hourly schedule so there is no room for confusion or misunderstanding. It is my first priority to make sure pet parents know that their baby is in the best hands so they can enjoy their time apart.
“Becky has now helped out while I was on vacation and a few times when my dog needed to be walked while I was at work and I’ve been so happy with the help she has provided! She has always been quick to respond, I get updates and photos of my dog on his walks, and she has been flexible with schedule changes on the fly.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner since I was born. Since 2019 I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds- big, small, puppy, senior and special needs. I’ve volunteered for the Humane Society and fostered through WAAL. My family has had 3 foster fails! I am a natural caretaker when it comes to animals and guarantee I will treat your pet as my own. I am a cautious pet owner who does well at reading the signals of an animals and anticipating their behavior and needs. I do not work in the summers, so I can care for pets full time. From May to August, I’m free all day every day, most days. From August to May, I work 8-4 on weekdays. I live in an apartment so sadly I cannot offer boarding at this time. My partner is available to watch our dogs while I watch yours at your home.
About: Hi! I’m Shane. I’ve spent years working professionally with dogs, first as an Animal Care Technician at a local humane society and later as a dog trainer. Along the way I’ve worked with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs, shy rescues, high-energy dogs, and dogs that need a little extra patience and understanding. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or staying with them while you’re away, my goal is to give them the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets. I believe dogs do best when they’re treated with patience, consistency, and kindness, and that’s exactly what you can expect from me. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! As a disabled Air Force veteran, I’ve built my life around caring for animals. Every morning starts with my own dogs, with a walk, plenty of sniff time, training, and breakfast before I begin caring for my clients’ pets. Because pet care is my full-time focus, I schedule each day to give every animal the time and attention they deserve. I don’t rush visits or treat pets like appointments on a checklist. Every dog and cat is cared for like a member of my own extended family. Every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their personality, age, energy level, and routine. Before care begins, I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, feeding routine, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral or medical needs. During every walk, drop-in visit, or house sitting stay, I focus on more than just the basics. Fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, enrichment, playtime, affection (on their terms), and careful observation are all part of my routine. For dogs, that may include walks, sniff time, games, or short training sessions. For cats, it may mean interactive play, brushing, or simply providing calm companionship if they’re shy or prefer a quieter approach. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the same respect I would my own. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep things tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, and help maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I don’t believe in simply checking a box and leaving. I believe in building trust with every animal I care for, providing companionship, enrichment, and dependable care so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of neighborhood dogs growing up and assist in caring with my family dog. I have 2 indoor cats right now who I adore. I am a student with a very flexible daily and weekly routine. I am able to work around schedules to fit time to care for pets. I have 2 cats at home and they are so spoiled! For your pet I will ensure that I follow all directions you may have for me as well as make sure your pet feels as loved as if they were my own.
About: I provide reliable, attentive care for your canine companions, delivering personalized daily walks tailored to each dog’s energy level, age, and specific needs, ensuring they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation. Services include: - Leashed walks in your neighborhood, preferred locations, or transportation to a local park for enriched outdoor experiences - Safe carrying assistance for small breeds, senior dogs, or those requiring additional support - Provision of fresh water during outings to maintain hydration (bottled water) - Responsible cleanup of waste to keep environments clean and sanitary - Additional care such as basic grooming checks and monitoring for any signs of discomfort or health concerns I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every dog under my care. Whether you require regular scheduled walks or occasional assistance, my services deliver consistent, professional support to give you peace of mind while you are away. I work from home as a freelancer, and I am looking forward to having beautiful reasons to get out and have fun with amazing dogs! I have made sure to give cuddle time to my pets, which allowed for trust to be seen in their eyes. I also make sure to treat them like the fur babies that they are! I have also followed vet instructions for medicine.
“Holly came to our home and did a drop in/walk hour visit. Communication with her was great as we had very specific instructions for our puppy! She sent photos and overall did an amazing job”
“Jennifer was an excellent dog walker for our beloved husky, Milo. She showed up on time, walked him the agreed amount of time, and sent us report cards and photos of her walks. I would not hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her services.”
“I was looking for a walker at rather short notice and was keen to find the right person as Taika is still young and can be quote boisterous at times. Nicole was very communicative and reliable and seemed to get on well with her, easing my worries.”
About: I come from a dog & cat-loving family. I love being and playing with dogs & cats. When my friends and family go out of town they trust me with their fur babies. I will stop by, play, walk with them, and care for their general needs. I have also had dogs & cats all my life. So I know exactly how to take care of them.I also have a 12-year-old son who loves animals. He would love to be able to play with them just as much as I would. I know how important your fur babies are. I can promise to take care of them and treat them like my own. With me, you can rest easy knowing they're in great hand! I work M-F full time. Dogs staying in my house would need to be used to and able to be home alone up to 4 hours at a time.I will come home at lunch and let them out. I also have puppy pads I can lay down if they need them. I have a fenced-in yard and a big enough bedroom that I can crate or separate your pets if needed. I do have 2 cats but they will want nothing to do with your baby and stay out of your pet's way.
About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).

“Samantha was great watching my cats last minute. She ensured they had a cooldown space and company when they were ready. On top of all that, she’s just super cool person.”
“Kylie is simply amazing. You can tell that she truly cares for the pets in her care by their reactions because they are calm and so happy. When my babygirl is with her, I have no worries because I know shes safe and loved. I’m sure Cleo will miss being around her and her family. I know I will🥰”
“Based on her expertise, Lilly took great care of my cat, Meeruya. I was surprised that Rudy and Lilly got close to my sensitive cat in a short time. Special thanks to Lilly, who understood and cared about my baby’s poop mistakes. She shared the home camera so I could see my pet while I was out of the U.S., and I had no problem communicating with her. She had a strong responsibility and love for Meeruya. I recommend her if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“We left our cocker spaniel, Honey with Aurora and her family for a few nights while we were away on a trip. We had the most at peace mind knowing our Honey girl was very well taken care of with pictures and videos! Will definitely be re booking for future trips! Thanks again ☺️”
“Our dog only stayed a night but Ron was very accommodating to meeting us beforehand to introduce ourselves and our dog. He was also very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and provided a lot of feedback throughout our dog’s stay. We’ll definitely be looking at using him again.”
“Debbie was wonderful to work with! She allowed my boys a preview visit to see how they would all get along being away from me in a strange environment. She sent me pictures daily and answered all my daily inquiries quickly! One of my boys has separation anxiety and he was very well taken care of! I think they enjoyed some socializing with other dogs as a bonus! Nice to know I have a trusted option less than a mile from home, I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Bug is shy and takes some time warming up to people but he warmed up to Zhou so much quicker than expected. Zhou is willing to work with my early morning drop offs which have been such a huge help. Highly recommend!”
“My dog was very well taken care of at Eric's. I received pictures throughout my trip which was very reassuring. Eric is pleasant, helpful and easy to work with. He was a very good sitter for my precious dog! I'll use him again.”
“As always Madi was incredible! My dog Millie was actually looking out the window for an hour after getting back home! I can’t recommend Madi strongly enough. She is so kind and easy going. I’ll be using her as long as she keeps doing this!”
“Kylee was amazing!! We have 2 high energy dogs and she handled them beautifully, lots of attention and activity. She was communicative and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!”
“I really want to appreciate you for sticking by my cats side during their after surgery healing. I feel awful for bee biting. But you stuck by her side afterwards. You communicated so well and the pictures helped giving me some relief.”
“This is my first time using Roverand and after meeting Dennis and his Wife I knew my adventure buddy was in great hands. I was able to enjoy visit with family and see I wasn't the only one on vacation 😂. Boarding is no longer a stresser, thank you Dennis and bee will be seeing you soon!”
“Excellent communication and quick responses. Misty sent lots of pictures of the doggies and kept us updated. She took fantastic care of my dogs and I would definitely book her again!”
