“Kelbie was fantastic! She picked up and dropped off Zummo, sent regular picture updates, and made sure he felt right at home. He came back happy and relaxed, and it was clear her whole family loved having him. I’ll definitely be booking with Kelbie again!”
“Christie was very responsive. She sent daily pics of my pup. This was my first time leaving my pup and she made me feel comfortable. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“We’re so thankful for Jessica! She took such great care of Mabel while we were on vacation and treated her like one of her own. It was such a comfort knowing Mabel was staying in a home and getting so much love and attention. Jessica kept us in the loop with updates and photos, which made it so much easier to be away. Mabel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Jessica again!”
“Guybrielle was soo kind and nice with Omen . This was a first to have him in someone’s home instead of just boarding inside of a facility. Our first experience was amazing ! We will definitely use her for future .”

“She was amazing! She sent me pictures of her and my fur baby and my Diamond started getting attached to her!

Thank you so much”
“Olivia was THE BEST! My pup was so well cared for and had the best time with her animals. Olivia kept me updated the whole time and I know Jo received the best care. I will definitely be booking with Olivia in the future!”
“Daylen was wonderful with my dog, Molly. She accommodated her every need. Molly is on medication, has special food and a little anxious. Daylen was patient and caring.

“Angela and Bill absolutely pampered our senior greyhound. She is very nervous in new environments, but they made her feel completely safe and cared for while we were away. They went above and beyond to make sure she ate every meal, took all of her medications, and stayed comfortable and happy the entire time. They even gave her a bath before we picked her up, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet senior girl was being loved on like family. We would absolutely trust them with her again and cannot recommend them enough.”
“This was Gumbo’s second stay with Nicholas and it won’t be the last! Thankful to have Nicholas keep Gumbo when we are out of town. We don’t have to worry about Gumbo at all because we know he’s being cared for!”

About: I grew up with with at least 2 dogs (from chihuahuas all the way to Great Danes). I love going to the dog park with my pups and running around the yard with them. I also have experience in dog grooming. My family is in the process of renovating their house, so I unfortunately don’t have the space to board any animals, but in the next year I will have the space to board 5 animals. In our family our dogs aren’t pets they are family. I’d love to have the opportunity to get to know your fur babies and have play dates with my fur babies. Thank you for your time, and I can’t wait to get to know you and you fur family!
About: I have one adorable fur babies. I enjoy being outdoors with her. Going on long walks and playful activities. We have plenty of room for playful friends and will be happy to help accommodate your pup or cat. I do work but I can make trips to where your located. Working around the clock is no issue. We own our home and have a nearby park. I enjoy helping others because I know how important it is for your pup/cat. We have traveled the globe so we understand the importance of caring for your family. My experience has been through the care of my pups, so I will be happy to share that. This is something I enjoy doing so please feel free to ask any questions if needed. My schedule is flexible so I have plenty of time to provide a Morning walk before heading to work. I can come home from work and provide any necessary assistance to your pup. We have a fenced back yard, a nearby park and a friendly neighborhood. My fur baby is playful and enjoys making new friends. Plenty of treats to share
“Very timely with visits. My pets loved to see her. She played with my cat even though she was there for the dog! Kept me updated with pics through out the visits! Will use Kelbie again!!”
About: I have personal experience caring for cats, as I currently own one. Through this, I’ve developed a strong understanding of feline behavior, including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. I’m comfortable providing patient, gentle care and creating a calm, safe environment that cats need to feel secure and comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up around cats my entire life and have had 9 of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all types of personalities—from shy and independent to playful and affectionate. I’ve also been pet sitting for about 4 years, caring for cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure each cat gets the attention and care they need.
“My two cats seemed very content when I returned from my 5-day trip and I appreciated the pictures after every visit. Kaitlyn was also very friendly responsive anytime I had questions. I will definitely recommend her to friends and family in the area and book with her again myself.”
About: I have taken care of many kinds of animals since I was 8. I have learned a ton from my Grandmother who is a veterinarian. I prioritize your pets' safety and I make sure I leave your home better than I have found it. I make sure your pets have fun and get lots of excrise while you are away! I prioritize your pets' schedules. I do have classes Monday to Friday from 7:30 to 2:35, but make sure that clients' pets are my priority right before and after class. I abide by any instructions that clients give me. Highly responsible making sure home is locked. I make sure pets are secure at all times and I am happy to discuss safety in more detail if clients have specific needs or concerns. I never take pets anywhere that clients have not given permission for. I don't have guests in clients' homes.
“Johanna was wonderful. She was caring, responsible, timely and took great care of cat. She is not usually comfortable with strangers, but took to Johanna immediately. That is the best recommendation I can think of.”
“We love Brodi and our furbies love her too. On time, takes care of business, animals are happy, house is clean, fantastic communication and extremely thoughtful. Checks in with us and asks questions about the written guidance we leave if necessary. Top notch!!”
“Tyana took amazing care for our dogs while we were gone for 2 weeks. They undoubtedly had a great time with her and they were completely spoiled while we were gone! Tyana did in-house visits and spent time playing with our dogs. She even brought a pool over for the dogs to play in along with clothes to dress them up!!! We were very reluctant to leave them but she quickly showed us they were in great care. We will definitely use Tyana again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”
About: Since I was about 11 years old, I’ve been trusted with pet-sitting over multiple nights, dropping in to feed/let dogs out to use the bathroom, given them medicine and baths, as well as many more duties. I used to work at a dog daycare for about half a year, which provided me with better experience and knowledge centering dog body language and safety. I’m currently working part-time, since I’m enrolled in college and have other responsibilities to focus on. I’d be able to easily fit in pet care to my daily routine, as I’m very task-oriented and capable of completing duties quickly and efficiently. I don’t own any pets of my own currently. However, when I am in a client’s home, I spend most of my time with their pets and make sure they are let out every 2-4 hours (depending on their condition and/or age). I also like to spend time cleaning if possible, as I like to keep my client’s homes clean.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Darrow
“My apologies for this late review, but we are so grateful to Jessica for accommodating our travel schedules to watch Beau Kai for us. Beau Kai is pretty easy to deal with as long as he knows you're there within his reach. He was able to play with Jessica's puppy for company and was ready for day two. Jessica is just as laid back and understands the needs of our beloved fur ones. We will definitely reach her again in the near future! Blessings Jessica and thanks again! Don & KB Williams-Atlanta, GA”
“Fantastic! My dog is a very nervous dog upon first meeting any person or animal, and will shy away. When I picked her up she was completely won over! I received photo and message updates throughout the day, and Ansley was willing and able to work with my schedule very last minute. Lily was happy, relaxed, and tired from a full day of attention and care. Ansley herself is a very personable, relaxed, calm, and understanding person. I feel like she is very adaptable to any situation and pet care needs. Very professional and will definitely use her service again when the opportunity arises!”
About: My dad is a veterinarian so I grew up surrounded by animals. I’ve had many pets throughout the years including turtles, chickens, rabbits and more. I’ve always loved being surrounded by and caring for animals. I currently have an 11 year old boxer and a young cat. I work for myself so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule and working from home during the week. I’m available for daycare or to leave my home as needed to provide walks and care for your pets! I have a spacious, fenced in yard so there’s plenty of room to run and play. My older dog is a sweetheart and a great companion to keep your fur babies company. My cat gets along great with other animals. He lives inside and out but mostly stays out.
“Lauren was amazing with Woody!!! She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day, which showed Woody having a fabulous day. I know Woody is looking forward to staying with Lauren and her family again. It definitely makes my heart rest easier knowing he’s in good hands when I’m not home. ❤️”
About: They say that pets/animals know a good person when they see and smell them. There's not a pet home that I walk into and am not greeted with excitement after giving rubs and cuddles. I am currently transitioning to be a stay at home mom, but I would like to continue to help others in need. My days are flexible at this time. Between 8:00m-3:00pm and 4:00pm to 6:00pm on weekdays, I can move outside of the home freely. Times outside of the listed times, I need to be within my home. I havr a 9 year old daughter who is great with animals, and she will not be left with any unsupervised. I have a fenced in back patio and a semi-fenced in back yard. Animals are not allowed to be alone and off the leash if in the backyard exploring. They are free to roam around the patio and home if applicable.
About: I have loved dogs since I was little. I have four fur babies of my own that I love with all my heart and soul. Each one has their own personalities and they run my house and they know it :) I have helped family and friends with their dogs when they have needed it. I have taken them for walks, potty breaks, baths and just play time. I will love and protect your babies like they are my own. I am currently a stay-at-home student, so I am available anytime to help with all your dog's needs. I can come to your home or your fur baby can come to mine. I have a fenced yard that your dog can run and have fun in. I do have 4 dogs of my own that are very friendly. I will follow all and any rules that you have for your baby.
About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I have 3 fur babies who are spoiled and well-loved, Mylo the Siberian Husky (2 years old), Lily the sweet mix breed rescue (6 years old), and Baxter the Dachshund Beagle rescue (7 years old) and 1 fur nephew, Rufus the Corgi (3 years old) who frequently stays with his cousins and auntie to play. We love the dog park, long walks (Mylo especially), and couch snuggles/naps. They enjoy chasing each other in the backyard and to birdwatch/neighborhood watch from the living room windows. I have experience with many breeds and all ages. Having two rescues myself I am also comfortable with rescue dogs who may need more time to warm up and trust you. I also love cats and have always had one-I just don’t currently have one. Fur babies aren’t just pets-they are family. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks, drop ins, and boarding any day of the week or weekend. I can come to you! I have a fenced yard and 3 fur babies who are dog friendly and love to play! I am happy to use crates if that is preferred. While I don’t mind your dog staying here with us, I am also able to come to your dog in your home if that is more comfortable.
About: Dog lover of 27 years. I'm a stay-at-home mother to 3 beautiful babies and 2 fur babies. I am a total dog enthusiast. I love all things dog and am always happy to meet and love up on new fur pups. SPOILER ALERT: All fur babies will be spoiled rotten and living their best life! I am flexible with my availability and make it easy for my clients to book with me. I always give the best possible experience that I can. I love to provide fur parents with a way to keep their fur babies healthy, active and happy while they are away. I have a fenced-in backyard and a fenced-in patio (for the pups that love to be outside and bask in the sun). My home has doggie gates in every room to keep your fur babies safe and playmates in order. I treat every dog as my own and love to see them happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for a large part of my life and absolutely love getting to know each pup’s unique personality. My wife and I have two friendly dogs, Ozzy (a Jack Russell Terrier mix) and Brees (a Blue Heeler mix), so your dog will have built-in playmates if they enjoy social time! I work from home a good bit, which means I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. We also have a good sized, fully fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe play, zoomies, or lounging in the sun. I have experience with puppies, including crate training and basic commands, as well as senior dogs who need slower routines and a gentle touch. I’m always happy to follow your pet’s specific care instructions, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m here to give them the same love and care I give my own. I work from home when I'm not traveling for work, so those will be the weeks I offer boarding services. My two dogs stay home with me as well on those days, so your dog will have friends to play with the entire time. I have two dogs - Brees and Ozzy. Brees (Blue Heeler mix) is younger and has more energy. Ozzy (Jack Russell Terrier mix) is older and more of a couch potato, so we're all inclusive of every personality! Whether your dog has tons of energy and loves to play, or is more laid back, they will jive well with us.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, cats and dogs. I can be active if your pet likes a great time or I can be chill if your pet is more laidback. Pet care fits into my everyday life! I’m very used to animals, I can take great care of your pet and be a great student also! I live in a pet friendly apartment with a walking trail and two dog parks. I have two cats who mind their own business lol, and of course a clean and safe environment.

“I am so happy I found such a sweet family to do doggy daycare with. Lindley was able to get me booked last minute and was super fast at responding and giving me updates. This was the first time I ever used services through Rover, and I am happy I found Lindley. My dog loved playing with her dog and kids and fell right asleep in the car!”
About: Hi! I can’t wait to be introduced to your furry friends. After many years of looking after my family and friends’ pets, I’m well prepared for various types of pet personalities. I began pet sitting on Rover in 2021, but took a break after moving and life events. I’m thrilled to get started again! I have two pets of my own: a cat named Kitty and a mini dachshund named Benji. I take pride in my love for animals and I’m excited to begin working with you to provide your furry friends a safe and loving human to look after them😊 I’m currently working remotely as an Actuarial Analyst. I can provide thorough care throughout the day at my home, or visit/drop-in to your home before work, after work, or on my lunch break. I also would be able to work from your home if that works best for you! :) I’m able to adapt to any routine requested. At my home, I have a fenced in yard that my dog, Benji, loves to sunbathe in throughout the day! I do have a friendly cat, but he’s very shy and will stay in one of his numerous hiding spots or his gated, out-of-reach area when strangers come over. At your home, I will be very respectful of your area and remain focused on your furry friends’ needs.

About: I’ve had animals all my life from dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, turtles, ferrets, and many others! I have a lab and a cat. I have had almost every breed from small to large. I just thought with my free time, I could help others care for their pets while away. I have a lot of free time. I do have 4 kids all in sports, but I will keep my schedule updated as much as possible. If your pet is an inside animal, they will be welcomed in my home. If they are outside, I do have a wireless fence and kennels if needed. I live down a dead end road.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and mini pigs for almost 10 years. I have a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekend. I will keep your fur baby safe and happy!

About: Hi! I am 25, a dog mom, former teacher and am now graduating with my doctorate in Physical Therapy in June! I have been watching animals since I was 13 years old after advertising for my business. I love all animals and will pay special attention to any behavioral needs, mental needs, and physical needs! Let me know how I can help! I walk/run and train my dogs daily, and I understand the vast needs of varying energy levels that your pets may need or like to have! Safety is my upmost concern! In my home, I request you have a crate that your pet can stay in if behavioral needs are calling for separation. I have a fenced in yard.
About: I’ve always had a passion for nature and animals you can find me taking my dog out on a trail hike every weekend! I’ve had multiple dogs in my life and know how to handle a variety of breeds (border collies, terriers, and larger dogs.) Animals are angels in my eyes and I hope to be able to take care of your angel and give you peace of mind and a carefree day! I currently attend LSU, so my schedule fluctuates depending what my classes require or if I have a test scheduled or even acting performance. I’m highly committed to my studies in wildlife conservation and resource management! I prefer not to host dogs in my house due to being a college student, but the app requires a response to be a sitter.
About: Aside from having 3 dogs of my own, I am also a volunteer foster dog mom with the rescue and adoption organization Rescue Rehome Repeat. 2 of my dogs are older and my 3rd is a puppy so I am very knowledgeable of the different temperaments of senior dogs and puppies. I am also skilled with handicapped dogs as well as assisting mama's with birthing a litter. Obviously I'm a dog person, but I do have a soft spot for cats, especially tiny baby floofy kitties!! 🥰 Did I mention I have 3 dogs!? 😊 I love dogs so much I hope to make this my main gig. Your fur baby's and your business would help me get closer to my life's goal: to pet ALL the dogs! I have an ample amount of availability to work with your schedule. The very first thing is to meet them and gain their trust. Their comfort in my presence is most important! Once that's achieved, I plan on following the routine and structure you already have in place (so your baby isn't stressed) while adding fun and play to the mix. I am fully capable of administering medications as well as therapeutic techniques to de-stress your pet should they become anxious. I also offer outings for dogs if permitted and in close range of a dog park or walking trail or a place where dogs are allowed. This service is additional and often favored by customers.

About: Before Rover 👵🏻 I would get recruited as a kid to watch my relatives’ pets while they were away. In college, I would house and pet sit for my boss and coworkers. I have two cats, but have a very soft spot for pups, too. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for walks during the day/ evening and for house sitting or check ins. I will treat your baby like they’re my own! I know they get sad when you’re away, so I am available for extra love and keeping things as normal as possible.

About: I’m comfortable helping out with your Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs… possibly other animals, just shoot me a message! My family, friends and neighbors have trusted me for all of their pet care needs and hopefully you will too! My hours are flexible at the moment. I’m available for pop in visits for feeding, walks and/or outdoor play time too. I’m super patient and don’t mind spending a little extra time with the needier fur babies. My cats are beyond spoiled, so don’t feel bad about what you may think are silly special requests. I completely understand. I’ll treat your fur babies like they were my own.
“Tenay is a skilled and enthusiastic dog walker who keeps in touch when caring for pets. She stayed with my pup for three days while I was out of town, and did a great job, even managing to get my "loves to nap" dog out for some long walks (which he needs). She sent photos and videos and I felt confident that he was Ok at all times.”
About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, often stepping in for walks, feeding, and daily care when they're out of town. I'm dependable, detail oriented, and I make sure each dog's routine is followed so they stay comfortable and stress free while their owners are away. At home I have a mini schnauzer and a sheepadoodle, so I'm very familiar with both smaller, high energy personalities and larger, playful dogs. Managing both has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read different temperaments quickly. I'm comfortable adjusting to each dog's needs and making sure they get the right mix of exercise, attention, and care. I work in dental sales, which gives me a flexible schedule that I can easily work around pet care needs. I’m able to stop by for walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day and adjust my schedule as needed. This flexibility also allows me to take on regular or last-minute bookings and be reliable for pets and their owners. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely to keep things consistent and stress free. I handle feeding, walks, and basic care in the client’s home, and make sure pets get the attention and exercise they need based on their normal habits, personality, and daily routine.
About: I am an animal obsessed graduate looking to fill my free time taking care of pets while I am on the hunt for a job. I’ve had my fair share of caring for dogs of all sizes and cats too! My pets are my family, and I will treat yours with the same respect. I know you want your pets left in the best care while you are away, so I am able to come do a meet and greet if preferred! Fun fact: I just went through a training program on how to better understand dog body language when they interact with other dogs and how to handle emergency situations when they arise! I am currently working part time and taking a couple courses for my Master's degree, so I have plenty of time (and energy) to care for your lovely pet. When I house sit, I will have to leave for a few hours a day for either class or work, but will spend ample time with your four-legged friend! In your home, full respect will be given to both your pets and your home. Walks and drop ins will not be spent browsing my phone, your four-legged friend has my full attention! Drop in visits can be tailored to the needs of your pet, and walks can be as active as your pup likes (I like to get those steps in). If your pup has decent leash manners and would like to take a run, I can provide that as well.

About: They say that pets/animals know a good person when they see and smell them. There's not a pet home that I walk into and am not greeted with excitement after giving rubs and cuddles. I am currently transitioning to be a stay at home mom, but I would like to continue to help others in need. My days are flexible at this time. Between 8:00m-3:00pm and 4:00pm to 6:00pm on weekdays, I can move outside of the home freely. Times outside of the listed times, I need to be within my home. I havr a 9 year old daughter who is great with animals, and she will not be left with any unsupervised. I have a fenced in back patio and a semi-fenced in back yard. Animals are not allowed to be alone and off the leash if in the backyard exploring. They are free to roam around the patio and home if applicable.
“Lauren treated Foxy like a queen. Wasn’t sure if she was going to want to come home!!!! We will be using her again! Received lots and lots of pics, videos and messages.”
“I took way to long to leave this review, Mark was super helpful and accommodating watching my pups last minute. He texted me and kept me updated so we could work out a pickup time, and was very kind!”
“Savannah was very loving toward my girls. My dogs came home, healthy, and happy and we got regular updates from Savannah during their time with her. Will definitely rebook! She was even willing to work with us when our vacation plans changed, which was a huge relief!”
“Keith was amazing! We were at ease leaving our babies as he was extremely professional and had been in the industry for a while. He is also flexible and affordable! Can’t recommend him enough and we’ll definitely be back when we’re in town.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love and passion for dogs. Caring for them has never felt like a responsibility to me — it’s something that genuinely brings me happiness and purpose. One of my most meaningful experiences was helping my dog safely give birth to seven beautiful puppies and being there every step of the way to care for them as they grew. From the moment they were born, I made sure each puppy was healthy, well-fed, clean, loved, and properly cared for. I dedicated my time and patience to house training all seven puppies, teaching them potty training, crate training, basic commands like sitting, and understanding boundaries around the home. I even trained them not to leave the yard despite not having a gate, showing them discipline, trust, and consistency through positive reinforcement and daily attention. I believe dogs deserve love, patience, protection, and gentle guidance. I naturally create safe, comforting environments where animals feel secure and cared for. I pay close attention to their behavior, emotions, routines, and needs to ensure they stay happy and healthy at all times. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, exercise, grooming, or simply giving them affection and companionship, I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog feels like family. Being around dogs has taught me responsibility, compassion, patience, and unconditional love. I take pride in treating every dog as if they were my own, and I’m committed to providing dependable, trustworthy, and loving care that owners can feel confident in. As a full-time dog sitter and babysitter, as well as a member of the Navy Reserves, my days are built around responsibility, reliability, and structure. I start each morning with a workout before taking care of errands and preparing for the day ahead. Whenever I have a babysitting or dog-sitting commitment, it becomes my top priority, and I dedicate my time and attention to ensuring that every child or pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. My military background has taught me discipline, accountability, and the importance of following through on my commitments. Whether I'm caring for children or pets, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives families peace of mind while they're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences, so I make it a priority to follow the owner's instructions carefully and consistently. From feeding schedules and exercise to medications and special care requirements, I ensure that each pet receives the exact care their owner expects. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets feel secure and well cared for while their families are away.
About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.
“Jake stayed with Johanna and her pack for a week. She sent updates and promptly replied to my inquiries. He’s is a snuggler and she was happy to accommodate. Will definitely ask her to keep him again.”
“Gabby is amazing! She kept Lux over Easter and did an Easter Egg Hunt and had an Easter Basket made for her. Lux had a wonderful time and absolutely loved staying with Gabby! 100/10 would recommend!”
