“Kira and Steve are fantastic! They go out of their way to make sure Jax feels comfortable, and us too ... by sending lots of great pics and updates! We love the playtime he gets with other dogs there. We never like leaving Jax, but knowing how comfortable he is at Kira and Steve's makes us feel so much better :). Thanks!”

“Tomoe and her entire family were amazing, and my dog quickly adopted them as his second family! Tomoe loves dogs and totally understands how important a caring dog sitter needs to be. She kept me aprised of my dog Muskies daily routine, with daily written descriptions and photos and videos. She cared for my dog for 10 days and treated him as her own, following all my instructions to the letter. I have used two other sitters(not from Rover but though recommendations) and neither even came close to the care and bond that my dog received with Tomoe. She played with him, took him for walks and to the dog park where my dog could meet and play with other dogs . In addition to her care, the rest of her family were also fantastic and played with my dog until he was played out! She is highly educated in the ways of dogdom, and truly has a passion for her work as a dog sitter. If I could give her 10 stars I would....I only hope she has availability the next time I need her services since once you have experienced the best there is no going anywhere else!”

“Julie was so great with our dog Siena. Siena can be a bit anxious, and Julie was so caring and great with her and made her feel right at home. Great communicator, got lovely pictures and updates while we were away, we couldn’t be happier with Julie!”

“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”

“Sarah and Luis were great. I felt confident leaving my Sara with the family. I received great updates and pictures. Drop off and pick up was seamless. Thank you.”

“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Rebecca and Jeanette! Their home is warm and welcoming, and they are equal parts kind and conscientious canine caregivers. We are so grateful to have found them.”

“Maeve greets Leo like he is her family member! He happily runs in and is at home immediately. She texts me photos every day and is accomodating when my drop off and pick up times are in flux. Great dog sitter!”

Besides, I have plenty of toys and treats in the house.
“Su is the absolute best! We had him care for our 10 year old Husky for 2 weeks and he was so great about updates, walks, food, treats, and play time. We also couldn’t pick him up on the scheduled date and Su was so helpful and flexible to keep him an extra night. We are so grateful and highly recommend Su. We look forward to the future stays!”

“Liliya took wonderful care of Chester. The morning photos were a welcome treat. I highly recommend her and her lovely family if you are in need of someone to care for your pet.”

“From the moment I left my dog, I felt completely comfortable my pet would be taken care of. Robert is friendly, knowledgable and communicated with me very well throughout my pets stay. I requested Robert's services in the middle of the night and he quickly responded at 7am, very accommodating and helpful. Robert's home is very dog friendly. My pet was given regular walks, access to dog park and I received pictures often. I would use Robert again and highly recommend him as a dog sitter!”

“Eric is warm and caring and has a wonderful way with the dogs he cares for. Our dog Moose had trouble staying with another sitter but did great with Eric! We felt so comfortable leaving Moose with him.”

“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”

About: I have one dog and have fostered over a dozen others, including various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience working with super energetic dogs and reactive dogs and love training! I am home for the summer, and I am available all day, because I am working from home!

“Jessie and Grace took excellent care of Maizy. She was with them for over a week. When we picked her up she seemed happy, rested, and not stressed at all. Communication was great and they were very flexible when our plans changed a bit. Highly recommend!!”

“We needed a sitter for our dog for a last minute trip we planned. This would be for 18 days. Finding a sitter was no easy task. Thankfully, Evan was available. Everything about our transaction was smooth and easy. He has an older dog, Luke who got along great with our younger and energetic Johnny. We received regular check ins and pictures during our trip. Jonny's stay with Evan was everything we could have hoped for. Really, I cannot heap enough praise. I would definitely consider Evan for another assignment the next time we need a sitter.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life, growing up with two of my own furry friends.

I have experienced shy cats, playful kittens, or special needs feline friends.

About: Hello! My husband and I are relatively new to being on the care taker end of Rover. But better late than never! A little about us: We live in a spacious house with a yard with 2 cats and 1 dog (and no kids). We also work from home so we are able to pay lots of attention to our pets and yours! I, myself, am an animal lover with years of volunteer work experience in shelters and zoos. I have grown up in a household with many types of pets from dogs and cats to turtles and chickens and peacocks! We fall in love with every animal we meet, and would love to host your pet when they need us! Both me and my husband work from home and always spend tons of time with our pets including pets and walks and play time and cuddles! We have a large tard with a 6-foot fence. We have two cats and a dog but we can dedicate an entire floor to your pets and spend time with them if separation is necessary from other animals. In the case that the animals don’t get along, we also tend to put our pets in different rooms and spend time with your pet in the main living area. But our pets are very friendly!
“Ling and Ye were great with my puppy! I had to work a very, very long day and they were very accommodating with an early drop off and late pick up. They also made me feel comfortable by sending pictures throughout the day to reassure me that she was having a great day. I will definitely hire them again!”

“Onyx had a great day at daycare with Julie! I received pictures throughout the day and updates on how his day went. I will definitely use Julie again in the future! Thank you!”

“Rachel was wonderful with Paisley! Rachel sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the day to keep us updated on all the fun they were having! Would definitely recommend Rachel in the future!”

“Kona had a wonderful time at Joanne's and she came home completely exhausted! Joanna kept in contact with us all day sending pictures and even videos! Will be using her next time we need a place for Kona to stay!”

“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, routine, and personality to make sure they are comfortable and happy. I am reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a student because I keep a consistent schedule and have dedicated time before and after classes for walks, visits, and feeding. I’m also usually more flexible on weekends, which allows me to spend extra time with pets. Since I enjoy being around animals and staying active, taking care of pets is something that easily fits into my day. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I also make sure they have a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need extra exercise, quiet time, or lots of affection, and I always keep owners updated so they know their pet is in good hands.

“Thank you so much, Easton had a great day and was well taken care of and had fun. Alex was flexible and helpful when we needed a bit more time, and kept our pup for longer than initially planned. A great setup and great with Eaton. Thank you! We will see you again soon”

“Emma was great! Prompt, communicative, and obviously cares for my pet as if she were her own. We needed a doggy daycare for our 11 week old aussiedoodle and Emma was more than capable to care for our pup. Also has a fenced in back yard, which I know my pup enjoyed. Thank you Emma! I appreciate you!!!”

About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!

About: Along with growing up with two dogs and helping to raise a puppy as a teenager, family friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats since I was ten. I've worked with all types of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Pit Bull mixes. I'm the one in my family who takes the dogs out on long hikes (or for short walks around the block once they get older), brushes their teeth and fur, gives them baths, and trims their nails. I'm a regular volunteer at cat shelters in cat care, and as a student on the pre-veterinary track, I have shadowed and volunteered at vet clinics to better understand the care that goes into your pets' health. Besides dogs and cats, I also have experience with a myriad of animals, such as hamsters, rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, mice, fish, hermit crabs, geckos, snakes, tortoises, and turtles. I have experience in preparing special diets for pets and other animals with specific health needs, and in senior dog care. Over the summer, I work at my internships in animal care for much of the work day, but that leaves afternoons, evenings, and early mornings for me to check in on your pets and give any care they need (breakfast/dinner, walks, baths, etc.). Over the school year, I will have more hours available to fit in more time with your pets (i.e. walking and bathing/grooming, more playtime, etc.). As a lover of all creatures, I take the safety of both pets and wildlife seriously. As such, I will always supervise pets that are outside in yards and keep them on leashes outside fenced-off areas so they are not a danger to others or themselves. If transporting pets in my car, I will keep them safe and secure in a carrier/crate. As a college student who has shared living spaces with new people before, I understand the importance of respecting others' belongings and boundaries. During drop-in visits, I will be sure to respect your home and any rules you may have for your comfort (i.e. no shoes in the house, specific dishes/silverware for pets only, general cleanliness, etc.).
“Emily is wonderful. She is prompt, very friendly, and confident with dogs. My dog didn’t want to leave because he knew I was home and she gently nudged him along. They ended up having a great and much needed walk.”

“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”

“We can’t speak highly enough about Linh as she was very caring, punctual and responsible with our dog. She’s extremely kind and pleasant to work with as well. We highly recommend her and look forward to her future walks!”
