“Elizabeth is amazing! My dog fits right in to her pack and I feel comfortable leaving her there. She sends pics and keeps me updated on my dogs health as well. I recommend!”
“Mariah was awesome. Without asking she gave us daily updates. And our dog seemed like he was loving it every picture they sent. He had such a good time I don’t think he missed us at all lol.”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
About: I have taken care of many kinds of dogs over the last 10 years. Your dog would be in a safe, loving and playful environment! I am a dog person and really enjoy being around dogs and other animals! I am at home full time and available to provide care and attention for your fur baby. This allows me to be able to accommodate the needs of your dog and their schedule. I have a fenced yard and a temporary movable fence as well. I can keep dogs in the house and also crate dogs in the garage. Your dog will be cared for in the same way that they are used to being cared for at home.
“Kendra was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures the whole time. This was the first time I’ve used a dog sitter and I will absolutely use Kendra the next time I need someone to keep my baby.”
“Shelby was an exceptional dog sitter! She is very loving to our pets and made me at ease right from the start. She was great at communicating with me and treated my fur babies just like they were her own. I know they had a great time. I will without hesitation use her again!”
“Alionta was super great with our two dogs! Her communication was great and she was very flexible with our pick up and drop off times. Our dogs are very hyper but Alionta was patient with them and had a fenced in back yard for them to take their energy out, when definitely needed. Our dogs would definitely love to go back!”

About: Its been my personal passion to love and take care of animal of all shapes and sizes. I grew up next to a farm allowing me the opportunity to care for all animals big or small. It’s my personal mission to make sure your fur babies feel, safe, happy, and healthy in my care.

About: I have taken care of dogs, my entire life. From my own dogs to just neighbor dogs, to even housesitting for weeks at a time while friends or family are on vacation. I have two dogs of my own, a male standard poodle, and a female German Shepherd. They both get along well with dogs and they are both crate trained so if they need to be in the crate while I am housesitting someone else’s animal they’re OK doing that. I have a lot of land and I am home almost 24/7 to care for the animals. I am currently a stay at home mom. In the mornings at about 6 AM I wake up let the dogs out. Let them play for a little bit while I prepare their food. Let them in. Let them eat their breakfast. Usually, after that, I have to take the kids to school. After I take the kids to school I get home and we have some playtime with the puppies. I do enjoy training, dogs, even though I am not certified in it. I have found that training and bonding with a dog is quite fun. I do groom my own dogs, my standard poodle usually rocks a normal standard poodle cut. And it is me who does it. I have leashes treats and all the fun toys that any dog would need to have a good time in my home. I have a good amount of land for a lot of outside play and 2 very sweet dogs that love to play! I have 3 kiddos that love all animals. I am of course okay with someone coming to see my home and what I have to provide for a comfortable stay

“Ayla was so sweet and genuine with our cat Miso and us! This was our first time using Rover and she was very responsive to any questions and followed all instructions that were given! So glad to have someone trustworthy to watch over our special girl :)”
“Megan is just awesome! This was the first time I used Rover and am so thankful to have been connected with her. She clearly cares so much about animals, and is really dependable and super considerate. I was worried about leaving my cat for a week, but after meeting Megan, my mind was completely eased. She came over for a meet and greet, and was really attentive and understanding of my cat’s quirky preferences and habits. She even brought my mail and packages in. I’d recommend her 100%!! Thank you Megan!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether it’s playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure each pet feels cared for and loved. I pay close attention to instructions and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages!!
About: I grew up on a farm for most of my life so I have taken care of my share of all different kinds of animals. I’m currently a full time worker but I get off in the early afternoon so I am free during the week for the most part! I have a partial fence outside and cages if need be but normally I don’t put my animals or any others in the cage unless I absolutely have to. They will be let out more than a couple times a day and will be taken on walks if need be.
About: I've been raised with cats and frequently cat sit for my best friend who has 3 cats of very different personalities and fur/size types. I've also fostered a number of cats but sadly my husband is allergic or I would have my own cat. Due to this I would love to spoil your fur baby!
About: I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, cats, and dogs—which naturally led to a lifelong love for caring for and working with them. I pursued this passion academically by earning a degree in Animal Science and professionally by spending five years in the horse industry, where I gained experience in veterinary care, herd and barn management, as well as training and showing. I’ve also worked in veterinary clinics, where I developed strong skills in safe pet handling, basic first aid, and administering medications. In addition, I have experience with puppy training and basic obedience, and I’ve completed courses to certify my own dogs as Canine Good Citizens. Now settled with my husband, who is active-duty military, I enjoy providing calm, reliable, home-style care for pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their families are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom to one baby boy who already loves his furry “brothers,” which means I’m home most of the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and enjoy adjusting to each dog’s needs—whether that’s dedicated playtime for high-energy dogs, structured walks, or a relaxed day with couch time and snuggles. Because I’m home, pets are never left unattended for long and are treated as part of the family during their stay. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and tailor care to each dog’s individual needs. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed. High-energy dogs receive dedicated play and enrichment, while more laid-back pets enjoy a relaxed pace with plenty of affection and snuggle time. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family—kept safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little! I’ve taught my dogs several different tricks, if you would like me to work with your fur baby please bring treats when you drop off your pet!

I have a backyard that’s fenced along with the inside of the house of course where your pets can run free. I personally run everyday so if you like I could take your pet with me on a run.

I’m especially comfortable with: Dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds, Shy, anxious or energetic pets.

They all love other dogs, and are accepting to sharing their home.

About: I grew up on a hobby farm in Wisconsin and worked with many animals including cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, but my favorites were always the dogs. Growing up I can’t remember a time in which I haven’t been taking care of an animal wether it was walking them, feeding them, bathing them, or just giving them the love and attention they deserve. During the week I work from home. I’d be able to toilet your fur baby every 2-4 hours. We do have a yard with a fenced in portion they can play at.Your pup wouldn’t have to be alone as I have an 1 year old German Shepard for them to play with. We are very active including walks in the morning before work and after work. We are outside as much as we can be. I care for pets by waking up early in the morning for walks, make sure their tummies are full before I start work in the day. During the day since I work remote I’m able to cater to their needs and lifestyle. Every night we would end up going on walks in the neighbor hood or playing in our backyard.I know it’s hard to be away from your pets especially during vacation time. I would send picture updates of your fur babies during their stay.
“This was my first time using Rover. I was a bit nervous but Kendra was great. She had me introduce my dog, Leo, to her dogs through the fence before bringing Leo inside the fence. The dogs interacted great. Kendra also sent me a picture of Leo letting me know things were going well. It's great to be able to get away and not have to worry about you pet. Thanks Kendra!”

About: My Yorkie, Mocha, was my baby and love of my life for 16 years. He recently left this life leaving a hole in my heart. He was special needs and required medication and a lot of specialized care. I will treat yours just as I did Mocha. I have a big yard, plenty of good toys, and a nice neighborhood for walks. I can even make homemade meals if your fur babies would like! I have experience with puppies who need lots of attention on up to senior dogs who like a quiet, relaxing atmosphere, as well as special needs animals who need medicine or special care. I also have experience with cats and birds. I am an active bird foster but recently my last foster was adopted, so I don't have any birds in my care at the moment. I took a Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) master class which gave expert advice on handling aggressive or no so well behaved animals. I agree that most people need training, along with animals lol I am currently a stay at home mom. My 15 year old son is at school during the day. We also just had grandma move in with us so there is someone home at all times. So I am available 24/7. I have a unfenced yard but it is big and abilities to crate if necessary. Smoke free home and I don't drink. Other than that, I will give your fur baby free rein of the house. I'm not picky about sharing couches or cuddles! I understand pets are more comfortable at their own home, so I am open to coming to you.

About: I am a nursing student commuting to Cleveland State University. Not only am I passionate about providing care for people, I am just as passionate about providing quality care for animals. I have two rescues dogs, both border collies, as well as two cats. Because of this I’m used to the high energy personalities that many breeds have. I have the patience and fortitude to handle any situations your fur baby presents. My school schedule allows for much flexibility to provide drop in visits for feeding, playing, and dog walking. I have many additional references available upon request! I look forward to meeting and bonding with your fur baby! I also have a lot of experience with administering insulin injections in both cats and dogs. I have a lot of flexibility schedule wise. I am in between transferring colleges, so I won’t start school back up until January of 2024. I provide a very safe and caring environment for all pets. Whether it be just a drop in, or an overnight stay, safety is always my priority.
About: I've been around dogs and animals my entire life. My oldest dog has been with me since I was 17 so she's going on 13 years old. I have a 5 year old Great Dane and German Australian mix that I've had since puppies. I'm great at teaching puppies sit, lay down, and recalling. (I'm not a professional by no means) I raised an elder iguana for 6 years before she passed, I grew up with cats of all personalities, and rabbits. I'm not shy or jittery of reptiles, amphibians, spiders or other insects. I work a very flexible work from home job that allows me to step away any time that I need. I can guarantee that your pet will not be alone for more than 4 hours Mon to Fri and Saturday and Sunday I usually have open availability I'm calm, I know stress signals in dogs and cats, I will meet with your animals at their own pace. I will follow any care instructions you have left and I will clean up any found accidents (puppies and other non house broke animals or elderly) including if their crates need cleaned as long as the supplies are easily found without me needing to open cabinets (on a counter or table) I always avoid people and other animals on walks to minimize all risks. I'm very careful when opening door in case someone decides to run, and I don't mind getting during/slobbered on
About: I grew up on a hobby farm in Wisconsin and worked with many animals including cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, but my favorites were always the dogs. Growing up I can’t remember a time in which I haven’t been taking care of an animal wether it was walking them, feeding them, bathing them, or just giving them the love and attention they deserve. During the week I work from home. I’d be able to toilet your fur baby every 2-4 hours. We do have a yard with a fenced in portion they can play at.Your pup wouldn’t have to be alone as I have an 1 year old German Shepard for them to play with. We are very active including walks in the morning before work and after work. We are outside as much as we can be. I care for pets by waking up early in the morning for walks, make sure their tummies are full before I start work in the day. During the day since I work remote I’m able to cater to their needs and lifestyle. Every night we would end up going on walks in the neighbor hood or playing in our backyard.I know it’s hard to be away from your pets especially during vacation time. I would send picture updates of your fur babies during their stay.

About: Hi! My name is Taylor. I absolutely love dogs and I have been around dogs my entire life. I live in a 3 bedroom house with my husband and 3 children. We have a German Shepherd named Ace and a Great Dane named Samson; they are very friendly and would love to make new friends! I am a stay at home mom so I can stay at my home or travel to your home and take care of your dog. I am willing to walk your dog or do anything to make your dog's stay special! About this sitter: Hi! My name is Taylor. I am willing to travel to your home so you don't have to worry about your dog while you're away! I can walk your dog, bathe him/her, feed and water him/her, give him/her their medication, or anything else your dog needs! I absolutely love dogs and I have been around them all my life. I am available at all times and I have a very flexible schedule. I hope to have lots of fun with your dog! Why I love dog sitting I have been around dogs my entire life. I have had both large and small dogs. About my yard Our family owns 13 acres. We have a lake on our property. Our home is not close to the road and we live in the country so there’s not a lot of traffic on the road. Our yard is not fenced in but your dog will not be left alone if it is outside. I will keep your dog on a leash at all times if that is what you prefer. We just moved to this property and built our home a few months ago and putting up a fence is one of our plans in the future. My experience administering medication I, myself, have had to give medication to my dogs many times so I am very comfortable with administering medication.
About: I enjoy spending time with animals big and small, some pets might need time to get to know you. I understand and pay attention to pet behavior I am patient, respectful, trustworthy, I have no problem cleaning up after pets. I also offer home cleaning and house keeping services if needed. I have no other commitments right now at the moment i am open for scheduling and looking forward to getting to know you and your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I am having a Baby the end of November. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.
About: I’ve always been an advocate for animals. Their innocence, loyalty, and dedication to humans is unwavering so I try to give them love in return. I just left my 9-5 to per-sue what makes me happy and still make money. Caring for animals will give me the ability to spend more time with mine also. I have 3 dogs in my home so I would care for your pet in your home. Plus I feel that pets are more comfortable in their own homes. I have a live in dog sitter so my pets always have someone with them giving me the time to help other people with their pets.
About: I have over three years of experience working in a veterinary clinic and dog shelter. I have three dogs of my own named Toast, CJ and Cooper. In addition to my boys I have one girl cat named Argent (Argie). I have had experience with medically complex dogs that have seizures, autoimmune disorders, complex eye issues and more. Owning exotic animals and horses has also been a passion of mine for over six years. If you can keep it as a pet, I have experience with it! I am available for select holidays, weekends, and overnight stays (subject to change). I have a part time job during the week which leaves my availability to only on weekends. Animals thrive on routine so I like to keep your pet(s) routine as close to normal as possible. I will send routine pictures and check ins while I am with your pet.
About: I've been around pets my whole life they are the best thing ever created. I've had a 3 dogs and about probably 13 cats in total growing up. Animals are my passion. I've always taken care of my fur babies before myself. When it comes to my fur babies - they have been a part of my life for nearly a decade. Whether its my own, families, or friends - I'm always striving to offer my attention and care to making sure our four legged friends are not only taken care of but shown love. I'm blessed that I routinely get to balance my week by reducing the burden on pet parents seeing more of my furry friends! I live in a house with a fenced in back yard and a cat that is a sweetheart. I treat other people's pet like my own.
About: i have grew up with dogs. i have worked at a dog boarding/daycare place where we feed, water and let dogs out and cleaned up after them if they made a mess. i am completely free anytime during the day unless i have a doctor appointment which i would communicate with you about! so i would be free anytime to let your fur baby out and feed them and play with them for a while and just spoil them more than they already are! if your babies were in a kennel i would let them out and play with them for as long as y’all would let me and if you had a fenced in yard or if they do fine out in the yard without a leash i would play with them outside and before i would put your babies up i would take them on a walk and make sure they used the bathroom!
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime, just have to work around my husbands schedule! But that shouldn’t be an issue. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily
About: I have had animals my entire life— I come from a family who loved having animals; dogs, birds, cats, you name it. I have had my own pets for 5 years since I’ve had my own house(s) & my favorite compliment from anyone is when they comment on how well-behaved & friendly my pets are. I hike a lot & have taken my friends’ dogs on many walks. I’m the go-to person my friends & family ask to watch their pets, check on them, feed or walk them, etc. I’m extremely reliable & responsible— I value punctuality & kindness in all I do. I have a lot of free time and flexibility with my schedule as I work from home. I have plenty of time off on the weekends, as well. I always make time for animals and nature— that’s what brings me peace and balances out the work-week. I live in a lovely, largely grassed apartment complex with big stretches of yard for pets to play in and do their business. The area I live in in Newark is safe and there’s plenty of sidewalks and lovely trails near by for walking. My home is pet-friendly, both dogs and cats are welcome, they won’t be shunned from the furniture and they will always have a lot of attention as I work from home. I do have a cat as well, but she is very relaxed and friendly with all animals and people alike. My friends bring over their puppies and cats to play with Twig (my cat) all the time! I have lots of space for crates if needed, too— along with a litter box if I ever board another cat/kitten!
About: My name is Paige! I am a 24 year old dog groomer looking to further expand and reach out to the pet community to provide great services and any advice you guys may ask! I currently am the mother of two pups named Titan and Fallon, so I know that sometimes pups can be a handful! I am here to help! Please, feel free to reach out with questions! I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely fur babies! I am currently a dog groomer with about 2 and a half years of experience. I also own two dogs: a one-year old australian shepherd x australian cattle dog mix named Titan, and a five-month old great pyrenees x lab mix named Fallon. I also own six rats as of right now too! I’ve never had the experience of caring for someone else’s dog in their home, so allow me to tell you how mine are cared for at home! Each day, they get fed dinner at 7:30-8PM. This is because they don’t touch their breakfast, no matter how much we offer it! I mix in Kefir non-fat, plain yogurt with pumpkin, raw food as a topper, and an assortment of different fruits that benefit their health. Each month, they both get full groomings, which includes a bath, a brushout, their nails and teeth done, and a nice smelly cologne. I have a fenced-in backyard so they get to run around and play constantly! They are kenneled at night for their safety, so they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t when we’re asleep, as well as kenneled when we aren’t home - but I’m home a majority of the time, so it’s free roam most of the day!

“Alionta was super great with our two dogs! Her communication was great and she was very flexible with our pick up and drop off times. Our dogs are very hyper but Alionta was patient with them and had a fenced in back yard for them to take their energy out, when definitely needed. Our dogs would definitely love to go back!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, my entire life. From my own dogs to just neighbor dogs, to even housesitting for weeks at a time while friends or family are on vacation. I have two dogs of my own, a male standard poodle, and a female German Shepherd. They both get along well with dogs and they are both crate trained so if they need to be in the crate while I am housesitting someone else’s animal they’re OK doing that. I have a lot of land and I am home almost 24/7 to care for the animals. I am currently a stay at home mom. In the mornings at about 6 AM I wake up let the dogs out. Let them play for a little bit while I prepare their food. Let them in. Let them eat their breakfast. Usually, after that, I have to take the kids to school. After I take the kids to school I get home and we have some playtime with the puppies. I do enjoy training, dogs, even though I am not certified in it. I have found that training and bonding with a dog is quite fun. I do groom my own dogs, my standard poodle usually rocks a normal standard poodle cut. And it is me who does it. I have leashes treats and all the fun toys that any dog would need to have a good time in my home. I have a good amount of land for a lot of outside play and 2 very sweet dogs that love to play! I have 3 kiddos that love all animals. I am of course okay with someone coming to see my home and what I have to provide for a comfortable stay
