“This was the second time Jennifer has cared for my fur baby, and I couldn’t be happier. My little one was so well taken care of and given lots of love and attention. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my pet is always in such caring hands. Truly grateful!””
“Kandace does a wonderful job taking care of our dog! She sends plenty of happy photo updates that give us peace of mind while we are away. Highly recommended her if you’re looking for someone reliable and caring for your dog.”
“First of all, let me apologize for not posting this review sooner (it has been quite a crazy several weeks in my household since Maggie's stay way back in early July lol). We planned one long family/summer birthdays beach trip this summer for the kids before they start school for the first time this August. I guess the Rover.com gods decided to bless us with one of the best sitters we've ever had for our dog Maggie, because Savana is the real deal! Not only was she able to care for Maggie for our entire trip length (July 6-12) in her loving household with a great, supportive hubby and a super cute baby boy to keep Maggie company, but she even was kind enough to give our beagle some of her beagle's dog food for the last day of her stay (I had mismeasured the amount of food:trip days I bagged for Maggie, being off by a day, whoops!). On top of keeping us posted with tons of cute pictures/videos, Savana was also great about keeping us posted on how Maggie did around any other dogs that get dropped off for doggie daycare from time to time at her house as well, which I greatly appreciated. Sometimes it's hit or miss with how Maggie acts around other dogs she doesn't know, which Savana was very understanding and definitely put my mind at ease with Maggie's dog interactions. I told her she could spoil Maggie if she wanted to, and Savana did not disappoint lol; I think that dog was in dog heaven she looked so happy and content everyday over there lol! Knowing that Savana is a great lover of animals, especially dogs, I knew Maggie was in good hands and had no worries our entire trip about her well-being, since we knew she was being loved on and cared for 100%. I would highly recommend Savana's services for whatever you and your pets need, and I can guarantee you will never be disappointed picking this sitter. And shoutout to her hubby for also being flexible enough to get off work a little early than normal to be in place at home for us to pick up Maggie as soon as we came off the highway on the 12th, when Savana unfortunately couldn't be present that day to say her goodbyes to Maggie and for us to thank Savana in person. But believe me folks when I tell you, Savana you the real MVP girl! Thank you for welcoming Maggie into your home, and just thank you for your flexibility, patience, and understanding with our family's hectic schedule that week, and just thank you for everything! Hope to use your services again and again in the near future!!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jessica From the moment we met, it was clear that my dog was in the best hands possible. She went above and beyond—sending daily updates and photos, making sure my pup got plenty of exercise, and giving tons of love and attention. When I came home, my dog was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for (maybe even a little disappointed to see me instead of CoCo 😄). It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable, caring, and professional. I’ll absolutely be booking again and recommending [him/her/them] to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter”
“Eric and June are so loving to my fur baby when I’m away. The care, attention and love displayed to Nicholas is unmatched and amazing! This was our second stay and I’m planning my third! Highly recommend! I won’t book with anyone else! Trust me, You won’t be disappointed!”
“I left my older german shepherd Apollo with Roy for a week and it was a great experience! He gave me updates, gave him his medicine as instructed and took great care of him. If I needed a dog sitter again he would be my first choice!”
“Lydia was great! My dog was more anxious than expected,and she was super understanding and did what she could to make Frey feel safe and at home. She was kind and considerate and took great care of Freya. 10/10 recommend, we will come back in the future if she'll have us :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“She was amazing! She handled my doggo so well and took such good care of him! We got constant updates and a multitude of pictures and videos. She is very well rehearsed in handling dogs!”
“Just picked my dog up and I truly enjoyed the photos that were sent to me. My little Zoey is fine. I am truly grateful she got to socialize with other dogs and was loved. I would recommend Marquia and her family. Thanks for taking care of my little Zoey.”
“My experience with Jennifer was phenomenal! As soon as I came to her residence she greeted my dog with open arms. She even gave me training advice during the initial visit, which my dog responded very well too. While I was away during my vacation she even kept me updated on how my dog was doing. Definitely going to use her services again in the near future!”
“Giovanni was amazing with my cat, T'Challa. She sent updates with photos. I was put at ease when I met her and felt good about her caring for T'Challa. When needed again, I will definitely rebook.”
“Heather was great! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She did great with our dog and kept us up to date on her activity with photos and videos.”
“Miranda was amazing with my Hazel. She sent me pictures and videos while I was on vacation and always made me feel that my little girl was safe and happy. Don't hesitate, send your fur baby over to Miranda for a mini vacation or extended stay. Shes the best”
“Catherine was able to take care of my pup on a last minute notice and sent updates everyday! She was so kind to work with and my Ghostie boy loved her and all the new friends he met! I will definitely be booking with her again. (:”

About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for over 17 years, and I understand how different their care needs can be compared to dogs. I currently have cats of my own, so I know how important it is to leave them with someone who truly understands feline behavior and comfort. I have experience with medicating cats, caring for shy or anxious cats, and supporting pregnant cats and newborn kittens through my experience with cat midwifery. I’m patient, gentle, and always work at the cat’s pace so they feel safe and relaxed. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine. My goal is to keep your cat happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Eric & June were great with our Jack. He Loved his time there and they provided us with daily updates and pictures which helped ease our mind about leaving him. We will definitely be booking again with them in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Patty! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my 4 kitties while we were out of town for spring break. I loved all the pictures you sent me and your communication was awesome. If I could give 100 stars I would!”
“Amanda is a blessing to have taking care of our pup! Each day getting pictures was so fun and they became more animated as our silly girl got more visits in with her. She is knowledgeable and super accommodating. Thank you so much!”
“Jessica was amazing! She was very communicative about any issues in the house or with the pets, and even went above and beyond cleaning up messes when they occurred. She was very attentive to the cats personalities and did what made them comfortable. Both my cats can be pretty shy, but they loved her! I would definitely recommend jessica to anyone wanting a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“The best pet sitter your pets could ever hope to have!! Ashton is so kind, responsible, personable, a true animal lover and a vet professional. She took care of our five cats and home while we were away for a week and even managed to quickly problem solve when one of them locked himself in a bathroom - gosh, knows how! It was always clear from pictures how much our crew loved her and followed her everywhere! She's the gold standard!”
“Sarah did a great job! She followed all of our instructions for pet care and did a good job communicating with us and sharing pictures of our pets. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“We were very nervous about leaving our cat alone for the first time but Jessica was wonderful! She sent pictures and updates every visit and the cat loved her! Highly recommend her!”
“Leslie was amazing! Updates and pictures sent each day. She was very quick to respond and took great care of my cats. My kitties loved her company. Can’t wait to rebook!”
“Ashlie was a great sitter for me! She was extremely communicative, punctual and very good with my dogs. My dogs are like my babies so it is hard for me to leave them with a sitter. Ashlie made me feel confident in booking her again if I ever have to leave!”
“James cat-sat our cat for 2 and a half weeks with drop in visits. We really appreciated the pictures he sent everyday and how well he communicated. We came back to a happy, healthy cat! We'll be using him again in the future.”
“Things ran very smoothly. Communication was excellent between us. It was nice to be away from home and not worry about my furbabies. I definitely recommend Aaron and would use his services again . Prices also reasonable”

“Thanks for taking great care of Bella - she loved coming over and hanging out with you guys. If Bella ever makes it back to Clarksville, we will have her come again! You guys are great! Thanks!”
“Maria has been great with my Thunder. He loves when he gets to stay with her while I work. I definitely recommend her for day care or boarding! She sends updates and communicate very well and promptly! We are glad we found her!”
“We are first-time puppy parents, and we needed to find someone to watch our puppy during busy work days. We were nervous to leave her with someone for the first time, but with Jennifer, we had absolutely no reason to be! Kind, courteous, and professional, she sends status updates AND photos throughout the day on your puppy. Our puppy (who has separation anxiety) was so comfortable with her, she took two naps on her lap. We will request Jennifer every single time from now on!”
“I want to say thank you to Savana for making Jurnee feel so comfortable. She’s only ever stayed with family. I loved all the pictures and updates she gave me throughout the day. Safe to say Jurnee enjoyed herself and has been knocked out since we got home. Will most deff book with Savana again. Thank you so much!!!!!”
“I was able to meet Roy before my fur baby's extended stay and do a meet and greet. Roy is very professional and friendly. Even though Cavi is not crate trained and a bit much, Roy was able to put my fears at ease knowing that my fur baby would be taking care of. Definitely recommend Roy.”
“Maui absolutely loves being at Lydia’s for daycare. Lydia is great with communication and we have no plans of taking Maui anywhere else for daycare or boarding in the future.”
About: I will love and cherish your fur babies as if they were my own. I do require pets to be crated at night due to the fact I have an open pantry in the dining room they could get in to. I’m a stay at home mama who wants animals but doesn’t have any yet, so I have plenty of time to play with, care for, and snuggle your precious, perfect babies! I have a big fenced in yard for your dogs to run and play. I have a makeshift pantry that pets will have access to so they will need to be crated during the night and you will need to bring a crate with you. Plenty of room indoors for your kitties to lounge around. Must bring liter and box.
“Kelcey is awesome! Both my cat, Aedion, and my dog, Oliver, came home happy and were very well taken care of. She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos so I got to see how well everything was going which I appreciate more than anything since all I do is worry when I don't have my babies. Will definitely be going back in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 2 years old. I’ve saved over 65 dogs from the streets and gave them new homes. As a dedicated dog lover with experience in caring for various breeds, I am passionate about providing a safe and nurturing environment for your furry friend. I understand the unique needs of dogs, from regular exercise to dietary requirements, and I am committed to ensuring they feel loved and comfortable while you're away. My attention to detail and strong communication skills mean that I can keep you updated on your pet's well-being, giving you peace of mind. With my patience and playful spirit, I am confident that I can create a positive and enjoyable experience for your dog. Let me be your trusted dog sitter! I’m a stay at home dog mom so I have all the time in the world to care for your precious fur babies so ❤️ I watch them very carefully and make sure no one gets hurt. I make sure they stay safe and have plenty of room to play while being safe.
“Kandace is an absolute godsend. She makes you feel as if you are leaving your pet with a longtime trusted friend. She is very knowledge about dogs and their personalities. She is very kind and personable. Laney always enjoys her time with Ms. Kandace and is happy to go back to play with her dog friends.”
“Our little baby doesn’t get to play much with other animals and he had his first experience here and it went amazing. Tatiana was very caring. She provided amazing picture and video. We would definitely book with her again very soon. Thank you so much for being such a great help and provider for our little boy.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I follow each pet’s routine closely and send regular updates to owners. I am a stay at home mom to one baby, so my schedule is very flexible! Morning and evening care times are preferred. I do not have any pets at this time, so I welcome pets into my home for care as well! In my home I offer a safe, comfortable home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. My organized, single level home provides an easy environment for dogs to relax, exercise, and feel at home while you’re away. I will maintain your pets routine in my home or yours!
“I have a small very shy baby and he was treated with so much love and care he returned happy and exhausted lol I thank Jessica for everything and I for sure book with her again”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the kindness and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I truly understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a bouncy puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a shy pet who just needs a little extra love to feel safe. I approach every pet with compassion, making sure they feel at ease and cherished in my care. From creating a nurturing routine to sending heartfelt updates to owners, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. Their happiness and comfort are always my top priorities. Lo que me distingue como cuidadora de mascotas es la amabilidad y la paciencia que le brindo a cada mascota que cuido. Entiendo verdaderamente que cada perro es único, ya sea un cachorro saltarín que está aprendiendo a comportarse, un perro mayor que necesita cuidados suaves o una mascota tímida que solo necesita un poco más de amor para sentirse segura. Trato a cada mascota con compasión, asegurándome de que se sienta a gusto y querida bajo mi cuidado. Desde crear una rutina de cuidado hasta enviar actualizaciones sinceras a los dueños, trato a cada amigo peludo como si fuera parte de mi propia familia. Su felicidad y comodidad son siempre mis principales prioridades. 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time to care for pets, whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles. Each day starts with planning to ensure pets have everything they need, from meals and playtime to exercise and companionship. I adapt my schedule to fit the specific needs of each pet, whether that means flexible times for potty breaks, feeding, or quiet time for older dogs. On a weekly basis, I create a routine that maintains a pet’s consistency and comfort while making sure to have time for new activities and learning opportunities for puppies or energetic dogs. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a fulfilling part of my day that brings me joy and allows me to build strong bonds with each animal I look after. El cuidado de mascotas es una parte integral de mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me aseguro de reservar un tiempo específico para cuidar de las mascotas, ya sea con paseos matutinos, sesiones de juego al mediodía o abrazos por la noche. Cada día comienza con una planificación para asegurarme de que las mascotas tengan todo lo que necesitan, desde comidas y tiempo de juego hasta ejercicio y compañía. Adapto mi horario para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de cada mascota, ya sea con horarios flexibles para ir al baño, alimentarlas o momentos de tranquilidad para los perros mayores. Cada semana, creo una rutina que mantiene la consistencia y la comodidad de la mascota, al mismo tiempo que me aseguro de tener tiempo para nuevas actividades y oportunidades de aprendizaje para los cachorros o los perros enérgicos. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo, es una parte gratificante de mi día que me brinda alegría y me permite construir vínculos fuertes con cada animal que cuido. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I start by getting familiar with their daily routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. I ensure the home is secure by checking for potential hazards and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. During walks or play sessions, I stay attentive to keep them safe from traffic, other animals, or any unexpected situations. I provide interactive play, walks, and plenty of affection to keep pets engaged and happy. If any special care is needed, like administering medication or following a specific diet, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions exactly. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is important, so I keep communication open with regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a comforting environment where pets feel at ease and loved, allowing their owners to feel confident and relaxed while they’re away. Cuando cuido mascotas en la casa de un cliente, hago de su seguridad y comodidad mis principales prioridades. Empiezo por familiarizarme con su rutina diaria, incluidos los horarios de alimentación, las pausas para ir al baño y cualquier necesidad o preferencia especial. Me aseguro de que la casa sea segura comprobando si hay peligros potenciales y asegurándome de que las puertas y portones estén bien cerrados. Durante los paseos o las sesiones de juego, me mantengo atenta para mantenerlos a salvo del tráfico, otros animales o cualquier situación inesperada. Ofrezco juegos interactivos, paseos y mucho cariño para mantener a las mascotas ocupadas y felices. Si se necesita algún cuidado especial, como administrar medicamentos o seguir una dieta específica, me aseguro de seguir exactamente las instrucciones del dueño. Generar confianza tanto con la mascota como con su dueño es importante, por lo que mantengo la comunicación abierta con actualizaciones y fotos periódicas. Mi objetivo es crear un entorno reconfortante donde las mascotas se sientan a gusto y amadas, lo que permite que sus dueños se sientan seguros y relajados mientras están fuera.🐾
“Leslie is our go-to person for Doggy Daycare! Our pup gets so excited whenever we pull in, which lets me know that she is well loved while she is there. We will continue to use Leslie whenever we need daycare!”
About: I'm a stay at home mom looking to make extra money in a way that will be fun for my kids too! I have a 9 year old daughter, 6 year old son, 4 year old son, and 1 year old daughter. Our beloved dog of 5 years recently got attacked and killed by another dog and we are looking to mend our broken hearts by having other dogs enter our home again! We all love the companionship that dogs can bring. I worked at a dog kennel for 3 years and love spending time with well trained dogs! I have also offered dog sitting to friends and family in the past and of course have experience with the Dachshund Yorkie mix that we did own. I have previous experience with dog sitting and dog walking, but I'm very capable of offering exceptional doggy day care services and drop-in visits. My kids LOVE dogs and are very helpful and loving towards all dogs as well. Book with me today!! I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I am a stay at home mom with a fairly flexible schedule, so I will be available for bookings most hours of the day, aside from 4-8pm. I have a fenced in back yard and plenty of yard space for your dog(s) to do their business and run around and get out their energy!
About: I provide pet sitting. I am by no means a professional pet sitter. I am plainly a loving pet owner who doesn’t mind welcoming other dogs or cats in my home. I will offer plenty of attention and love to your pets as I do my own! My pets have always been good with other pets. I prefer any pets I host to be good with other pets too. If they aren’t good with cats or are unfamiliar, that is not an issue. My cat is smart and tends to stay out of sight, out of mind when unfamiliar faces are near :) Being good with other dogs is a must! I work a full time job as does my husband, but our older teenagers are always home and can provide more potty breaks or attention to the pets we sit. I have a fenced in yard. I prefer the pets I sit to be crate trained when they cannot be watched but otherwise they have free reign to the home.
About: Hey pups and parents! I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’ve trained my own dogs in scent work and obedience, giving me a strong understanding of behavior, communication, and structured training. I’ve also spent time working in dog rescue, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to support dogs with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. No matter how busy my schedule gets, I always make time to care for your pets. I ensure they’re fed, comfortable, and given the love and attention they deserve every day. Their well-being is a natural part of my routine, and I’m committed to keeping them happy and healthy In my home, every dog is treated with gentle care, patience, and consistent attention. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family—from providing a clean and comfortable space to offering regular meals, playtime, and affection. Their well-being is always a priority, and I take pride in creating a peaceful, caring environment where they can relax and thrive.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like family. I have three sweet, well-loved pups of my own—a playful 1-year-old shepherd husky, a gentle 5-year-old black lab— & the sweetest 1 year old Corgi, so I understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I’ve raised 2 of them since they were puppies, which gave me hands-on experience with puppy training, routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as providing calm, patient care for more mature dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, whether that means structured playtime, relaxing cuddle time, or keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time stay home dog mama. My entire days revolve around my fur babies since my schedule is completely open. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and I’ve recently moved to the area from Colorado and went from an apartment to a house with a big yard so most of my days are spent outside with the fur babies. I do have a very large fully fenced in backyard and my dogs pretty much come in & out as they please. They have a large water bowl outside that is always filled and I spend time working with them and giving treats throughout the day as well.

“Words cannot explain how awesome Gabriela is. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND in caring for Lily. There is no doubt in my mind she truly loves our dog. If you are looking for someone to not only care for your pet, but also give them love and attention Gabby is without a doubt the best person for the job.”
“Jessica is the absolute best—she’s very responsive, always showed up on time for the multiple check-in visits with Murphy, and went above and beyond in her care for him! Murphy was more than happy when I returned home and I never worried about a thing while I was gone!”
“Ama and Jacob and their family are amazing! They’ve done so well with our 4 month old pup! We’ve come home to a happy puppy every time! They’ve done a great job burning some of that puppy energy and we feel very comfortable with their care. Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have experience with all breeds and sizes. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend! At present, I have full availability and am able to accommodate check-in visits on weekdays as well as select weekends! I would love to help you out I currently have a friendly Golden Doodle and a sociable cat, both of whom love meeting new friends! I’m happy to follow any care instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while visiting my home.
About: Hi! My name is Isabelle, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs and spent much of my childhood riding horses, so being around animals has always felt like second nature to me. I also have two dogs of my own at home that I absolutely love, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I bring over five years of hands-on veterinary experience, including working in a 24/7 emergency and specialty animal hospital in Boise, ID, where I worked primarily with dogs and cats. I started in the Emergency Room as a Technician Assistant, helping with patient care, administering medications, assisting with radiographs, collecting samples, and ensuring every pet received compassionate, high-quality treatment. I was later promoted to a Veterinary Assistant in the Cardiology department, where I assisted with advanced procedures such as echocardiograms, ECGs, blood pressure monitoring, placing heart monitors, etc. I also educated clients on heart conditions, managed medical records, and ensured accurate care for every patient. In addition to my veterinary background, I have previous pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and even chickens. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication administration, exercise needs, and providing attentive, reliable care while you’re away. A few months ago, I relocated from Boise, ID, and I’m excited to continue working with pets in this new community! My medical background allows me to confidently care for pets with special needs, administer medications, and recognize when something may be off. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, or extra support due to medical needs, you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in experienced and loving hands. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Since I recently moved to the area and am currently looking for a veterinary position, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for other pets as well. I’m excited to meet new pets, build relationships with their owners, and provide reliable, attentive care. In my home, I care for two dogs of my own, so daily pet care is already a big part of my routine. I make sure they get regular meals, fresh water, daily exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also keep a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime to help pets feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely so their pet can stay on their normal schedule and be as comfortable as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away by keeping their routine consistent and giving them lots of attention.

About: I've had animals my whole life growing up. I now have 4 cats, and 2 dogs. I occasionally foster cats when needed. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have all day to love and care for your fur babies. I am pretty much always available when you need me. My schedule is open and ready to assist you. I am more than happy to help! My house offers plenty of areas cats can get to that the dogs and toddler cannot. Thanks to baby gates. However, we have wall furniture in our livingroom and I also have a "catio" attached to the house in the backyard that allows the cats to enjoy a nice breeze and sunshine, while being safe an secure. We have smart litter boxes and plenty of toys as well.
About: I provide attentive, reliable dog care tailored to each pup’s needs, with experience in puppy routines, senior support, medication administration, and consistent updates for owners’ peace of mind. I’m currently working full time at a corporate office. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 5pm. I will also have an hour of break time before 2pm on the weekdays. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a secure fenced yard in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Pets in my care receive supervised outdoor time, structured routines, and plenty of attention.
About: While I may be new to Rover, I have had dogs and different pets all throughout my life, as well as having cared for other family's pets. I have experience with raising and training puppies, caring for senior dogs that just need some extra love and patience, and am familiar with all sorts of dog breeds. I have experience with Yorkshire Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Miniature Pinschers, Dachshunds, Australian shepherds, German Shepherds, and more! I also used to work at a pet store, called Pet Food Center, where I learned how to handle hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes, cats, and other animals. While that may be a bit unrelated to Rover's services, it shows that I have a deep-rooted love for animals and will go above and beyond for any pet. I am currently a full-time Nuclear Medicine student that is on break for the summer semester, so I have full availability and can give pet owners a flexible schedule that best fits their needs. Balancing everyday life is difficult and I am here to make it as simple as possible. My primary goal is to make sure that both the pet owners and pet feel safe with me as their sitter. I would make it a priority to meet before any services, work out a schedule that works for everyone, and update the sitter at any given time.
About: Hi! I am a proud military wife, I don't have children but I do have two fur babies. Archie ( a red heeler mix) & Daisy (catahoula / mountain cur mix. I have experience with all stages of life. I am more experienced with dogs but will watch any type of fur baby. I will treat your pet as if it were my own, this means I will treat them with love and affection and make sure they are safe. I know leaving your fur baby with a stranger is hard and I would be able to send you videos and photos of your pet having a good time to ease your mind and let you know they are perfectly safe and waiting for your arrival. Thank you in advance for considering me. I am a self employed photographer and Scentsy consultant. I am very flexible and can accommodate to your schedule as long as it is discussed ahead of time. In your home I will make sure your home is the way it looked before you left or better. I like to make sure your pets are comfortable..
About: I provide pet sitting. I am by no means a professional pet sitter. I am plainly a loving pet owner who doesn’t mind welcoming other dogs or cats in my home. I will offer plenty of attention and love to your pets as I do my own! My pets have always been good with other pets. I prefer any pets I host to be good with other pets too. If they aren’t good with cats or are unfamiliar, that is not an issue. My cat is smart and tends to stay out of sight, out of mind when unfamiliar faces are near :) Being good with other dogs is a must! I work a full time job as does my husband, but our older teenagers are always home and can provide more potty breaks or attention to the pets we sit. I have a fenced in yard. I prefer the pets I sit to be crate trained when they cannot be watched but otherwise they have free reign to the home.
About: I have taken care of dogs and pets since I was a teenager. My friends relieve on me to watch their dog while they travel. I make sure they are happy, fed ans taken care of as it they were my children I currently work a part-time job from home, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pups. I’m mostly available in the mornings and evenings, but I have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs. I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow their feeding schedules, provide fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced yard.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience with a wide variety of dogs, combined with a genuine passion for providing active, attentive, and reliable care. I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I tailor my approach to each individual pet’s personality and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own—Utah and Aspen—both adopted rescues who are well-socialized with other dogs and cats. Utah is a small terrier mix with a fun, energetic personality who also enjoys downtime and lounging. Aspen is an Alaskan Klee Kai mix who is highly social, active, and loves being close to people. Caring for them has reinforced my ability to balance structure, exercise, and affection in a way that keeps pets happy and comfortable. I have extensive experience with breeds ranging from small companions like Pugs, Dachshunds, and Chihuahuas to larger dogs such as Labs, Boxers, Great Danes, Huskies, and Pit mixes. I’ve also cared for dogs with a range of temperaments, including high-energy puppies, multi-dog households, and more independent pets. In addition, I’m very comfortable with cats and can easily handle feeding, litter maintenance, and basic check-ins. I prioritize keeping pets active and engaged through daily walks, outdoor time, and play, while also making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and at home in their routine. My goal is always to provide dependable care that gives owners peace of mind and pets a positive, consistent experience. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I prioritize structure, consistency, and reliability in my schedule. I’m currently looking to transition into a more flexible, self-managed work arrangement where I can take on regular bookings and dedicate focused time to caring for pets while maintaining dependable availability for clients. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding, exercise, and behavior needs to ensure consistency and comfort. I am attentive to safety at all times, including supervised interactions, secure handling during walks, and maintaining a clean, pet-friendly space. In my own home, I have two friendly, well-socialized indoor dogs who are accustomed to being around other animals. They are calm, loving, and enjoy companionship, which helps create a welcoming and social environment for visiting pets when appropriate. My focus is always on ensuring all pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether in my home or a client’s home.
About: You can call me Lilly!! I can provide calm, patient, and specialized care for pets who need more than the basics. when it comes to anxious and sensitive pets, i focus on using a slow, trust-building approach so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I have an anxious cat myself, so I understand how important it is to move at their pace and build real trust. I also have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs with complex needs, including blindness, deafness, and diabetes, so you can trust that details won’t be overlooked. That said, I absolutely love outgoing, playful pets too. Whether your dog wants long walks and playtime or your cat just wants attention and snuggles, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they have a great time. Ideal for pets who need extra patience or just a reliable, attentive sitter while you’re away. I have availability through out the week and weekends. I keep my calendar updated and always communicate clearly about availability. Once a booking is confirmed, you can count on me to be reliable and on time. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow their routine closely for feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I’m especially patient with anxious pets and take a calm, gentle approach. I also respect your home, keep things clean, and can provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Kandace does a wonderful job taking care of our dog! She sends plenty of happy photo updates that give us peace of mind while we are away. Highly recommended her if you’re looking for someone reliable and caring for your dog.”
“First of all, let me apologize for not posting this review sooner (it has been quite a crazy several weeks in my household since Maggie's stay way back in early July lol). We planned one long family/summer birthdays beach trip this summer for the kids before they start school for the first time this August. I guess the Rover.com gods decided to bless us with one of the best sitters we've ever had for our dog Maggie, because Savana is the real deal! Not only was she able to care for Maggie for our entire trip length (July 6-12) in her loving household with a great, supportive hubby and a super cute baby boy to keep Maggie company, but she even was kind enough to give our beagle some of her beagle's dog food for the last day of her stay (I had mismeasured the amount of food:trip days I bagged for Maggie, being off by a day, whoops!). On top of keeping us posted with tons of cute pictures/videos, Savana was also great about keeping us posted on how Maggie did around any other dogs that get dropped off for doggie daycare from time to time at her house as well, which I greatly appreciated. Sometimes it's hit or miss with how Maggie acts around other dogs she doesn't know, which Savana was very understanding and definitely put my mind at ease with Maggie's dog interactions. I told her she could spoil Maggie if she wanted to, and Savana did not disappoint lol; I think that dog was in dog heaven she looked so happy and content everyday over there lol! Knowing that Savana is a great lover of animals, especially dogs, I knew Maggie was in good hands and had no worries our entire trip about her well-being, since we knew she was being loved on and cared for 100%. I would highly recommend Savana's services for whatever you and your pets need, and I can guarantee you will never be disappointed picking this sitter. And shoutout to her hubby for also being flexible enough to get off work a little early than normal to be in place at home for us to pick up Maggie as soon as we came off the highway on the 12th, when Savana unfortunately couldn't be present that day to say her goodbyes to Maggie and for us to thank Savana in person. But believe me folks when I tell you, Savana you the real MVP girl! Thank you for welcoming Maggie into your home, and just thank you for your flexibility, patience, and understanding with our family's hectic schedule that week, and just thank you for everything! Hope to use your services again and again in the near future!!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jessica From the moment we met, it was clear that my dog was in the best hands possible. She went above and beyond—sending daily updates and photos, making sure my pup got plenty of exercise, and giving tons of love and attention. When I came home, my dog was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for (maybe even a little disappointed to see me instead of CoCo 😄). It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable, caring, and professional. I’ll absolutely be booking again and recommending [him/her/them] to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter”
“I left my older german shepherd Apollo with Roy for a week and it was a great experience! He gave me updates, gave him his medicine as instructed and took great care of him. If I needed a dog sitter again he would be my first choice!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“She was amazing! She handled my doggo so well and took such good care of him! We got constant updates and a multitude of pictures and videos. She is very well rehearsed in handling dogs!”
“My experience with Jennifer was phenomenal! As soon as I came to her residence she greeted my dog with open arms. She even gave me training advice during the initial visit, which my dog responded very well too. While I was away during my vacation she even kept me updated on how my dog was doing. Definitely going to use her services again in the near future!”
“Heather was great! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She did great with our dog and kept us up to date on her activity with photos and videos.”
“Miranda was amazing with my Hazel. She sent me pictures and videos while I was on vacation and always made me feel that my little girl was safe and happy. Don't hesitate, send your fur baby over to Miranda for a mini vacation or extended stay. Shes the best”
“Catherine was able to take care of my pup on a last minute notice and sent updates everyday! She was so kind to work with and my Ghostie boy loved her and all the new friends he met! I will definitely be booking with her again. (:”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I follow each pet’s routine closely and send regular updates to owners. I am a stay at home mom to one baby, so my schedule is very flexible! Morning and evening care times are preferred. I do not have any pets at this time, so I welcome pets into my home for care as well! In my home I offer a safe, comfortable home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. My organized, single level home provides an easy environment for dogs to relax, exercise, and feel at home while you’re away. I will maintain your pets routine in my home or yours!
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic as a pet sitter. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for my pet like her own. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. My pet came home happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”
“We boarded our pup with A’Briana over the weekend and she took great care of our dog. We received frequent updates/photos and A’Briana is always quick to respond. Definitely recommend!”
“Megan is wonderful! We had never used Rover before and she made it so easy. The minute I met her and her family I knew our dog would be in good hands and we would have nothing to worry about. Will definitely use her again!”
“Ashleigh was wonderful with my Mamas!!!!! She kept me informed on how Mamas was doing and sent pictures. I could see that she was a happy girl being there and that kept me at ease! Her family was very loving and I will be using her services again!!!! Ashleigh was able to accommodate an extra day for me on short notice.”
