“Our dog had such a great time with Josh and Andres ! They took care of him during the holidays. They kept us posted with any updates and sent us pictures and videos everyday. We definitely enjoyed our vacation better knowing our little dog is in good caring hands.”
“Dawn took great care of Sandy! She’s an animal lover and did lots of extra nice things to help make Sandy feel comfortable. I loved getting daily updates that included lots of pictures. We were glad that Sandy was there while we were away.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Calvin and Vanessa! They took amazing care of our Shiba for over two weeks, and she got along so well with their two friendly dogs. We really appreciated their quick responses and frequent photo updates — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Before the longer stay, we did a one-night trial, which went well and made us feel confident about leaving our Shiba in their care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Sasha. She kept us well-informed of all the fun they were having, and by the pictures and messages, it was a lot! Being the holidays and away from home, we were so glad to know Sasha was in the best of hands. Tatiana is truly a dog lover, through and through and we will not hesitate to reach out to her in the future.”
“Angie and family were AMAZING! This was the first time we left our puppy and I was so nervous. Angie asked if I wanted to do a meet and greet first to make sure I was happy and I was SO thrilled with her and the family! You can absolutely tell this family loves dogs and have huge hearts! She sent constant pictures and updates and our puppy didn't want to come home with us when the weekend was over! We will definitely book with them again!”
“Cheza loved her stay with Masha! She got to have her own mini vacation while we had ours. Masha was very communicative and kept in touch and sent pictures. And she was also helpful with navigating using Rover too. We will definitely be booking again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Kelly and her family were absolutely amazing. She gave great updates for our pup and the backyard and walks we're great for her. The kids were friendly and kind to my dog and Kelly was a great host! Will definitely use her again next time!”
“I have a little senior dog with some idiosyncrasies. I could not have left her in better hands than that of this gentle attentive doggie-minder. Thank you Marion♥️”
“Julijai was amazing with Dakota and I already booked her for the next weekend! Great at communicating but also respecting my time while on vacation. Got lots of pics of my pup and I know she was having a blast!!”
About: For over 20 years, I’ve devoted my life to caring for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. As a professional groomer and lifelong animal lover, I’ve learned that every dog has its own personality, quirks, and needs—and that they all deserve a safe, happy place to call home while their families are away. At my home-based boarding, your pup isn’t just a guest—they’re family. With a cozy indoor space, a secure outdoor play yard, and plenty of cuddles in between, I make sure every tail wags with joy. Whether it’s playtime, rest time, or a little extra pampering, my goal is always to give them comfort, care, and peace of mind—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Pet care is my life and my passion. As a home-based groomer with 20+ years of experience, I combine professional skills with the comfort of a family environment. Dogs aren’t just clients—they’re guests in a loving home where every wagging tail is noticed, every need is met, and every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. My home-based setup allows me to give personalized attention, cozy care, and consistent love that bigger facilities often can’t match. My home doubles as a haven for pups! I have a cozy basement workshop where I work, a special indoor play yard where puppies can romp safely, and a fenced outdoor yard for fresh-air fun. And of course, after work, it’s family time—they’re free to snuggle, play, and enjoy life with me beyond the yard.
“We had a fantastic experience boarding our dog, Bob, with Jessica and her sweet dog, Max, for six days. Jessica went above and beyond—she walked Bob even in the rain, made sure he took his medication, and somehow even convinced him to wear his coat (a miracle in itself!). She sent thoughtful updates, and it was clear Bob felt completely at home. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of dogs—huskies, beagles, border collies, hounds—ranging from puppies to seniors who lived to 17. Each one came with their own challenges. One needed a cart to get around, another had a strong instinct to chase deer, and one would try to eat anything left on the ground, even gum. Every one of them required patience and time, and I worked through their issues using consistent positive reinforcement. I am available most of the week. If my current dog gets along with your dog, then I can do boarding at my house. If your house is close enough, I can get there early in the morning and late at night as far as boarding goes. I do have a fenced-in yard and 1 dog that may or may not like your dog. In the past all my dogs were friendly. This one is a bit picky.
“Sriju was personable and made me and most importantly, my dog feel comfortable. I could tell he enjoyed being with her. Sriju was amenable to my instructions and gave my dog medicine without concerns. She sent me pictures daily and was approachable and friendly. A friend had recommended her and Sriju was fantastic. She even let my dog sleep with her; I think he behaved better than me. I highly recommend Sriju and thank her for making us feel at peace so we could enjoy our vacation!”
“Melissa was great! Communicative, friendly, sent pictures, and my pug came back happy and tired (in a good way) after his weekend with her. Would definitely book again!”
“Cal and Kelly were great! Cal is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs, and was very patient and kind to my nervous dog while he settled in. They sent multiple pictures throughout my dog’s stay and were always super prompt about responding. I will absolutely be using them again!”
“We are first time users of Rover and are so happy we found Carrie. Finnegan really enjoyed his overnight visit, and was welcomed into Carrie’s home as if it were his own. Carrie was extremely attentive to Finnegan’s needs and communicated with me frequently from the start. Finnegan can’t wait to go back in a few weeks!”
“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“I loved how wonderful you are in taking care of Finn. You took professional pictures and made Finn look like a model. I'm so glad he behaved with you. I would love to have you back if I need you again in the future.”
“Ariana was fantastic! It was my first time using Rover and she explained the whole process to me so I knew what to expect with drop ins. She took such great care of Fee and sent the best pictures in her report. Ariana always responded very quickly and showed Fee lots of love while I was gone! Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Highly recommend. We have used Marion several times. She does really well with our two cats, who can get anxious around new people, but they have not had issues with her. She was even able to troubleshoot our automatic feeder when she noticed it wasn't working! We will be using her again in future.”
“Wonderful sitter. Bonded instantly with my cat and he already loves her! She sends me so many pictures of him playing and having a great time with her. It gives me peace and comfort to know that when we can't be at home, he's getting loving attention ad playtime! I will continue having Leah, as my sitter. Whenever we go out of town!”
“Jenni is the best! She takes such great care of our kitties when we are away, and goes above and beyond to do things like schlep in boxes from an unexpected delivery (thank you again!!). Jack and Aspen can’t wait to see their friend Jenni again soon. :)”
“I've booked with Karen before and chose to book with Karen again because she is extremely responsive, flexible, and provides great updates while watching the pets. Karen provided timely and extensive reports and went above and beyond my request for watching my pet. She changed my pet's litter, replaced her water, spent ample time with my cat, and communicated immediately when a problem presented itself. I would recommend Karen and I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“We love Catherine!!!! This was our second week-long trip with Catherine as our sitter for our two cats and home. She's so wonderful; please book her. She's communicative, takes Christmas card-worthy daily photos, writes long updates, and goes above and beyond with her care. I feel so comfortable going away knowing Catherine is taking care of my cats. You can really tell that she loves animals. Thanks Catherine! ♥️”
“Julia was great - she is very responsive and detail-orientated. The cats knocked over a photo frame during our trip and she cleaned up the glass for us because she knew it would be a hazard for their little paws. Great cat sitter, definitely plan to hire Julia again!”
“Jazzel was an excellent dog walker. She helped me when my current dog walker could not continue walking buddy. She reported all the details of the visit efficiently and gave us peace of mind. She was punctual, informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Jazzel. I will definitely work with her in the future.”
“Anton was great with our cat Benji! Very responsive, attentive, and went the extra mile when helpful (like cleaning whole litter box instead of scooping when dirty or having a late night visit when his schedule changed). We’ll book with him again. :)”
“This is my third time booking with Ruby. This time I didn't leave things as well organized as usual - I was recovering from a surgery but still had to leave town for a family funeral. Despite my lack of organization, Ruby did a phenomenal job, as always. She kept my plants alive through an unseasonable hot spell, and my two cats were happy and healthy when we got back. One of my cats is terrified of thunder, and there was a storm during one of Ruby's visit, but instead of hiding in the basement, my cat chose to hide near Ruby - that's the ultimate sign that this cat trusts someone.”
“Neesa came to our meet and greet with prepared questions! Our anxious dog immediately warmed up to her, and she was able to read his body language easily. She sent plenty of cute videos and pictures during her drop ins!”
“Jeannie is simply the best cat sitter, hands down. We knew immediately during the meet and greet that she was going to do a fantastic job with our cat, Nico, who has some health issues. She did not disappoint. We had a list of instructions and she did everything as we asked, which has not happened in the past. She was very kind and nurturing with Nico and we feel 100% comfortable leaving her in Jeannie's hands. We cannot recommend Jeannie highly enough. She's the real deal and we are extremely happy with her and her care.”
“Teffni was great with our cats and made sure to send us some nice photos that told us they were comfortable with her visits. She also let us know about a potential problem with an automated feeder unplugged by a chonky orange boy. She also cleaned up a mess in an unexpected area which was appreciated!”
“Wonderful service. Loved the daily reports (Rover cards)! Alex let me know the cats were eating, she scooped all the litters, had some play time with them. Came home to two happy, well-cared for cats. I’m looking forward to scheduling with Alex again if she’s available when I travel.”

“What a great first stay with Josh and Andres! I met Josh for a meet & greet and he made me and Mocha feel immediately welcome and I loved how clearly they communicated and shared photos with me during Mocha's stay. Looking forward to future visits and overnight stays! ??”
“Once again another Great Day for Ranger under Lauren’s Wonderful Care! Each time we bring Ranger for Daycare , he starts to perk up with Excitement as we get close to Lauren’s House and he is all wags and dancing around to hurry to her door and to play with her Dog Zoe! It is such a Great feeling for us to know our Boy is Happy to go to DayCare or Boarding at Lauren’s. Lauren is always keeping us updated on Rangers Day and sends lots of photos that make us Smile and look forward to receiving! She is incredibly Gifted with her Love and Passion for Dogs and Cats and Cares for t(em like they are her own! She is without a doubt the BEST and we HIGHLY Recommend her and Have!”
“Neesa is our go-to dog sitter, and we can’t recommend her enough. We have an extra-large Alaskan malamute with separation anxiety, and we trust her completely, whether at her home or ours. She is dependable, kind, and has a genuine love for animals. She sends great updates and photos, and asks thoughtful questions when needed. We never worry when our dog is with Neesa. Taake loves Neesa most importantly!”
“I was a bit nervous leaving Lexa after an unpleasant previous experience with a Rover stay, but Jeannie was wonderful! She took my very active husky on several walks, but was conscious of the hot weather and kept them short. I received a bunch of pictures and updates, which kept me calm. She has a very calm demeanor that allowed my dog to relax and just hang out. I will definitely be rebooking!!”
About: I have experience in fostering with rescue dogs for the past 5 years, I am an avid dog trainer for my personal dogs and I have extensive experience with different breeds and sizes. I work a hybrid schedule and have plenty of time to care for pets, I am pretty active and like to be outside with my pet. Very flexible with your wants and needs. I will discuss with the individual client and cater to the individual dog according to their personality and needs.
“Great service from a great family. I was in town for work for a couple of days and needed someone to watch my puppy. He was walked and cared for and had a great time playing with their dog, Lincoln for three days of day care. He was excited to be back every morning when I dropped him off, and he returned every night happy and tired. I will absolutely be reaching out if I travel out this way again in the future.”
“Cal was incredible with Henry, especially because of Henry’s apprehensions with men. I received great updates and communication was excellent. I am confident in my choice to book repeat visits and trust Cal & Kelly will continue to help nurture our rescue pup! Henry was happily exhausted when he got home, and I highly recommend them.”
About: 15 years of own pet care experience. I have cared for pets and volunteered on animal shelters before. I own a frenchie boy who is very calm , never barks and loves to eat. If needed on a case by case basis I can arrange to have your baby in my care alone :) Loved animals since little. I will love your pet like its my own. I’m a civil engineer with a frenchie pup working from home! Dog-walking or pet sitting will be a smooth addition to my daily routine that your pup and I will enjoy! Meet and greets needed for dog sitting. Will send you photos or text to let you know how your pet is doing! Please let me know of any fears your pup has. I typically let my dog sleep my couch or bed but will ask for permission first.
“Ebot responded to my booking request quickly & was also very polite with his communications. Jäger didn’t finish his two days booked with him. I don’t think it was a great fit for Jäger & think ebot would do best caring for dogs who don’t mind being crated and are smaller in size who also don’t mind being left. Apparently my dog displayed anxious behaviors he has never displayed before in his 4 years of rover daycares but I think it just wasn’t the best fit. Love ebot’s energy & personality though & wish him the best of luck! I think he’ll do great with other pups”
“Once again Hazel thoroughly enjoyed her days with Maria and Fernando and I was relieved to know she was in a safe and loving environment. She’ll be back!”
“What a incredible experience! So grateful to have met Robyn and her family. Her home was the perfect setting for my Mocha very kind and caring people and Zelda & Navi and chilren was 4 extra bonuses Mocha got to experience as well. Couldn't have gotten a better outcome! Mocha will definitely be coming back :)”
About: I'm excited to have your furry friend over and will give them all the TLC they deserve while sticking to their regular schedules. I've been obsessed with dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of our family dog, Lucky, since he was a puppy up until he passed away due to old age at 17 years. I now have a 6 year old Shiba Inu, Sumi, and a 10 year old cat, Ellie. Sumi was a rescue mill mama and was extremely fearful. With patience and love, she's finally come out of her shell. I've managed to teach both the dog and the cat tricks and work on training with them daily. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment and am home most of the day. I'll stick to whatever schedule your pet is used to so there won't be any confusion when they return to you. Our neighborhood is pretty large and also has a walking trail, so walks can be as short or long as you'd like. There's a dog friendly space downstairs with plenty of room to run around and play with toys, or if they prefer to chill, there's plenty of pet beds and blankets in the living room. I have a very chill and friendly Shiba Inu and Husky/Shepherd mix at home that can keep your dog company. I do have a cat that has their own room and can be separated if your dog doesn't get along with cats. I also have a large crate and two pens available if that's something you're used to doing. Baby gates are set up between each floor, but are usually left open for my dog. There are cameras on each floor so that I can keep an eye on the pets if I'm leaving the home or on a different floor.
“My dog, Rosie was in good hands with Kelly and her husband. I felt less stressed knowing they took every effort to make her comfortable. Kelly sent me endless updates and pictures of Rosie's stay . This was important to me because this was my first overnight booking with her. Thanks, Kelly. We will be back soon!”
“Huey took such great care of my pupper Winky, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Winky can be super shy at first, so I always get nervous leaving him with someone new, but he got comfortable with Huey so quickly it was amazing! She has two super friendly dogs of her own(a little bichon and a corgi), and they got along so well with Winky which is awesome. She also sent me updates and photos during the stay and it looked like he was completely relaxed and having the best time. I also added on grooming during his stay, since she’s also a home based groomer and did such an amazing job(she told me she has 20 years of grooming experience!!) Winky came home looking so clean and adorable with the cutest haircut! You can really tell she has a ton of experience with dogs and genuinely cares about them. I’d absolutely book with Huey again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and caring for their pup!”

About: As an experienced pet sitter and cat owner, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. By having my own pet I understand the need for patience, attention to detail, and maintaining routines. I provide compassionate care tailored to each pets needs and personality, treating every animal as if they were part of my own family. Im am currently working part time and at most work three times a week. This allows me to have a lot of availability to care for your animals! I care for pets in clients homes by following their normal routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I also give regular updates to owners and make sure the pets get plenty of love when their owners are away.
“Nicole was great! We'll definitely use her again. Our big boy loved her and we loved how she gave him a good long walk everyday while we were on vacation. My parents loved her too - she was reliable and very nice.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of dogs—huskies, beagles, border collies, hounds—ranging from puppies to seniors who lived to 17. Each one came with their own challenges.

About: I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a Boxer, along with a grumpy cat. At present, we have Kody (a red fox Labrador) and Alfie (a mix of various breeds). I’ve been walking, loving, and feeding dogs all my life. Other areas of my experience include walking and dog-sitting for my neighbors' dogs for about 5 years. During COVID, my family started fostering various types of dogs, which has undoubtedly increased my experience with a diverse range of breeds and ages. While I have the most experience with larger dogs over 60 pounds, I also love my smaller furry friends! I'm currently on summer break, which allows me to care for pets full-time and maintain a very flexible schedule throughout the week. My only regular commitment is attending virtual classes in the evenings, so outside of that, your pets are my main priority. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring your animals receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you're away. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. With my own dogs, I start the day around 8:30–9:00 a.m. with a walk and breakfast. They go outside again around noon, get another walk in the afternoon around 3–4 p.m., eat dinner around 7:00 p.m., and go out again before a final walk around 11:00 p.m. Throughout the day, I spend time playing with them and providing enrichment to keep them happy and mentally stimulated. When caring for a client's pet, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and following all care instructions closely. With seven years of pet-sitting experience, three years of fostering, and experience administering medication to both dogs and cats, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a variety of needs and personalities. I pay close attention to behavior, ensure pets are safe and comfortable, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: Growing up, my family always had dogs. At my grandparents’ house, we had the sweetest little Chihuahua, Little Lady Bug, who made us laugh by chasing the biggest dogs down the street. After Lady came many others: Basset Hounds, Lhasa Apsos, and eventually two King Charles Cavalier sisters, Penny and Emma. My first true canine love was a black Labrador named Charlie Bug. He became the big brother to my three kids, and they adored him. He was gentle, protective, endlessly patient, and full of love. When Charlie became ill, we welcomed Olive Oil, a Papillon who became his eyes and ears. Life took some unexpected turns, and for a time, our home was without four-legged companions. But my love for dogs never faded. I now find joy by being present in the lives of friends’ and family members’ pets—and I’m excited to share that same love and care with your furry family member. I would be honored to bring joy, comfort, and attention to your pet through sitting and companionship! BTW...call me Suzie! Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine, even while working full-time depending on the need. On weekends, my schedule is much more flexible. I’m available for longer visits, extended playtime, multiple walks, or overnight care as needed. Weekends allow me to give pets extra attention, companionship, and enrichment, which I absolutely love. Even with a full-time schedule, I’m very organized and intentional about planning my time. Caring for pets brings me joy, so I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care whenever I’m with them—whether it’s a quick weekday visit or a full weekend of quality time. Pets thrive on consistency. I would travel to your home so they can stick to their routines an schedules. I want to make sure your pet's normal life conitnues seamlessly while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 17. Family, neighbors, and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, clean up after, and comfort their pets while they’re away. Whether it’s a snuggly cat or an energetic pup, I always approach animals with patience and love. I currently work part-time, so I’m flexible and can make time for drop-in visits or overnight stays at your home. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2PM. I’ll treat your home with care—and your pets like family. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I provide thoughtful, reliable care in your space—where your pets feel most secure. I respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and ensure they feel safe, soothed, and seen while you’re away.
“Denisse has been fantastic with our older dog! Very responsive and super accommodating. Our 50lb dog needs to be carried up/down the stairs and she handles that without issue and provides plenty of pictures, updates, and even gives our dog cookies.”
“My dog can be very selective when meeting new people, so finding the right caregiver is especially important to me. From the very first meeting, it was clear that my dog genuinely liked her and felt comfortable around her, which immediately put me at ease. She was prompt, thorough, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand my dog’s needs and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. Her calm, confident manner and genuine affection for animals really stood out. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and would happily book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Amanda was great! We have a small, super friendly but high energy dog that will not sleep through the night unless she’s had enough exercise. Inanna slept through the night after just one 30 minute walk with Amanda. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. 15 years ago my mom was diagnosed with dementia and I did not want my mom going into a nursing home. So I adopted little Rico and moved us all into a retirement community where they both stayed in our home until their last days. I had them both for 12 years and as you can see they were attached to each other. I lost them both three years ago and now I'm fostering, taking care of neighbors dogs in my community and joining the Rover family. I will take care of your fur babies with the same love and care as I took care of my mom and little Rico just as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and can easily be changed around to accommodate your needs. I try to facilitate my clients even in emergency situations. I have a Bark and Breakfast in my home that is secure and full of toys if your fur baby needs to be away from home for awhile.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I had my own dog for 9 years who recently passed away, and I truly treated him like my baby. I have experience dog sitting for family and friends, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I’m patient, responsible, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention and care. I’m available most afternoons/evenings during the week and have more open availability on weekends for drop-ins and walks!! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow feeding and potty schedules, keep a close eye during playtime, and make sure pets are supervised. I provide frequent updates, and I treat every pet like my own.
About: What Sets Me Apart I offer more than just a standard check-in or walk—I bring a lifetime of genuine animal love combined with specialized, hands-on experience to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and completely understood. Here is what makes my care unique: Senior & Special Needs Expertise: I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, or just providing the extra patience and gentle pacing that older pets deserve, your senior companions are in incredibly safe hands. Puppy Training & Energy Management: Navigating the puppy phase requires consistent structure. I love working with young dogs to reinforce basic training, maintain potty routines, and channel all that amazing puppy energy into positive, healthy habits. Multi-Pet & Diverse Species Experience: My home is a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From handling high-energy dogs and independent cats to caring for unique exotic pets like geckos, I understand the distinct body language and routine requirements of a truly diverse range of species. When your pets are with me, they aren't just being watched—they are being treated with the same deep respect, attentiveness, and family-level care that I give to my own. Pet care isn't just a side task for me—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of my daily and weekly structure. Because my routine centers around a flexible, home-based schedule, I am able to provide the consistent, attentive, and highly reliable care that pets thrive on. Here is how I integrate dedicated pet care into my routine: A Natural Part of My Day: Managing a busy, active household means I am already completely dialed into strict daily routines. Feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and multiple potty breaks are second nature to me and easily sync with your pet's specific internal clock. Built-in Movement and Fresh Air: I value keeping active and getting outside. Daily walks and high-energy playtime aren't chores—they are highlights of my schedule that allow me to give your dog the exercise, mental stimulation, and neighborhood exploration they need. Meticulous Environmental Care: Just as I maintain high standards for my own surroundings, keeping a spotless pet environment is part of my regular weekly rhythm. Daily litter box scooping, deep-cleaning food bowls, and organizing pet areas are deeply embedded in my normal cleaning habits. Evenings and Weekends for Quality Time: When the daytime rush winds down, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to winding down, too. This is when I love providing the quiet companionship, gentle grooming, and couch cuddles that keep pets feeling safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. Because my life is set up to balance multiple priorities smoothly, your pet receives structured, dependable care without me ever having to rush their routine. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay with me, they aren't kept in isolation—they become part of a structured, lively, and highly attentive household. Seamless Integration: I run my daily business from home, which means your pet enjoys constant human presence and supervision. They are integrated right into our daily rhythm of work, play, and relaxation. A Sanctuary for All Personalities: My home is designed to accommodate different comfort levels. If your dog loves a pack environment, they will have plenty of company. If they prefer a quiet corner to decompress, I have dedicated, cozy spaces where they can rest undisturbed. A Safe, Social Environment: With experienced resident pets of my own, I am highly skilled at managing animal dynamics. Introductions are always handled slowly and safely, ensuring everyone feels secure and respected in the space. Care in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) If your pet prefers the comfort of their own walls, my priority is maintaining absolute consistency, security, and cleanliness while you are away. Flawless Routine Replication: I follow your specific instructions to the letter. Whether it’s feeding at an exact timestamp, following a precise walking route, or administering medication, I ensure your pet's internal clock and habits aren't disrupted. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect. In addition to keeping your pets happy, I ensure their environment stays pristine—handling meticulous litter box maintenance, keeping feeding areas spotless, and making sure everything looks exactly how you left it. Security and Peace of Mind: You will receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. I also keep a vigilant eye on the security of your home, ensuring doors are locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the property is secure.
“Melissa is wonderful! I have used her services twice. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond. She is attentive and makes sure to check my dog’s water bowl. She sends me great pictures of their walks together. She gave me great peace of mind!”
About: I am an animal lover! I have owned several Pitbulls and cats in my lifetime. I believe pets are part of our family and should be loved and cared for just like human members of our family. I have a consistent routine and I am an elementary school teacher with the availability to take care of your pet after school and on the weekends. I live in a great neighborhood with lots of friendly dogs and places to walk along with a dog park nearby. My home is a townhouse with a fenced yard. I do have three friendly cats who enjoy the company of a dog.

“Our dog had such a great time with Josh and Andres ! They took care of him during the holidays. They kept us posted with any updates and sent us pictures and videos everyday. We definitely enjoyed our vacation better knowing our little dog is in good caring hands.”
“Dawn took great care of Sandy! She’s an animal lover and did lots of extra nice things to help make Sandy feel comfortable. I loved getting daily updates that included lots of pictures. We were glad that Sandy was there while we were away.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Calvin and Vanessa! They took amazing care of our Shiba for over two weeks, and she got along so well with their two friendly dogs. We really appreciated their quick responses and frequent photo updates — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Before the longer stay, we did a one-night trial, which went well and made us feel confident about leaving our Shiba in their care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Sasha. She kept us well-informed of all the fun they were having, and by the pictures and messages, it was a lot! Being the holidays and away from home, we were so glad to know Sasha was in the best of hands. Tatiana is truly a dog lover, through and through and we will not hesitate to reach out to her in the future.”
“Angie and family were AMAZING! This was the first time we left our puppy and I was so nervous. Angie asked if I wanted to do a meet and greet first to make sure I was happy and I was SO thrilled with her and the family! You can absolutely tell this family loves dogs and have huge hearts! She sent constant pictures and updates and our puppy didn't want to come home with us when the weekend was over! We will definitely book with them again!”
“Cheza loved her stay with Masha! She got to have her own mini vacation while we had ours. Masha was very communicative and kept in touch and sent pictures. And she was also helpful with navigating using Rover too. We will definitely be booking again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Kelly and her family were absolutely amazing. She gave great updates for our pup and the backyard and walks we're great for her. The kids were friendly and kind to my dog and Kelly was a great host! Will definitely use her again next time!”
“I have a little senior dog with some idiosyncrasies. I could not have left her in better hands than that of this gentle attentive doggie-minder. Thank you Marion♥️”
“Julijai was amazing with Dakota and I already booked her for the next weekend! Great at communicating but also respecting my time while on vacation. Got lots of pics of my pup and I know she was having a blast!!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of dogs—huskies, beagles, border collies, hounds—ranging from puppies to seniors who lived to 17. Each one came with their own challenges. One needed a cart to get around, another had a strong instinct to chase deer, and one would try to eat anything left on the ground, even gum. Every one of them required patience and time, and I worked through their issues using consistent positive reinforcement. I am available most of the week. If my current dog gets along with your dog, then I can do boarding at my house. If your house is close enough, I can get there early in the morning and late at night as far as boarding goes. I do have a fenced-in yard and 1 dog that may or may not like your dog. In the past all my dogs were friendly. This one is a bit picky.
“Cal and Kelly were great! Cal is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs, and was very patient and kind to my nervous dog while he settled in. They sent multiple pictures throughout my dog’s stay and were always super prompt about responding. I will absolutely be using them again!”
“We are first time users of Rover and are so happy we found Carrie. Finnegan really enjoyed his overnight visit, and was welcomed into Carrie’s home as if it were his own. Carrie was extremely attentive to Finnegan’s needs and communicated with me frequently from the start. Finnegan can’t wait to go back in a few weeks!”
“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“She’s WONDERFUL to my dog, Apollo. At first, I was nervous about how she would be able to handle him without my presence but Apollo loved her without giving her a hard time! They enjoyed each other’s company. She’s a very understanding and being sweet to Apollo. She gave him a lot of love and treated him like her own dog. She sent the pics and gave the updates about him. That’s what I truly appreciated about her the most. She’s great at that so that way I wouldn’t worry too much while I’m away. Apollo trusts her right away and definitely will rebook with her in the future! Strong recommend her!”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”
“Natalia and Edward are fantastic! I’ve used them twice now and have nothing but positive things to say! They’re great about sending daily updates. I will for sure use again!”
“Jenn and her family were great. I was in a pinch and needed to find a dog sitter for the weekend with pretty short notice and Jen not only made Toby feel really comfortable and took great care of him, but also made me feel very comfortable leaving him in their care. She sent photos and updates every day and Toby really enjoyed his stay with their family. I definitely will use Jenn again.”
“Paul was very personable. He took wonderful care of Nala while we were away for a long weekend and was super affectionate with her. His depth of experience and understanding of dogs was evident. Highly recommend his services!”
“Marylee (and her husband) were amazing!! I pick Rover people based on if I would want to stay with them lol!! At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”
