“Our other dog passed very recently and has been with Milo for life so leaving him was especially difficult. We typically board and this is our first time using rover. Barbara reassured us and sent photos/updates throughout our time traveling. Response time and communication was top tier. I could tell he felt comfortable and safe in her home and was happy as can be despite the circumstances. I am so happy we opted not to board. 10/10 recommend and would happily work with barb again.”

“What a wonderful, stress-free experience we had with LaToya! Our sweet little dog is a bit on the anxious side, she's almost 11, but still becomes pretty nervous on the way to the groomer and vet. She's slow to warm up to new people, but surprisingly, she immediately took to LaToya! This literally has never happened, so I knew right away that it was a match made in heaven! LaToya was incredibly responsive, shared pics daily and provided updates about our little one's adjustment process and her week. Leaving our dog with LaToya felt like leaving her with family. We're grateful for that and excited to now have a very comfortable option for her new home away from home when needed. FIVE PLUS stars for sure! Definitely intend to use LaToya's services again and I highly recommend her without reservation! You will not be disappointed! Thank you LaToya!”

She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”

About: Ive taken care of many animals my whole life ive owned a few dogs one of which was born deaf and i had one who went blind at an early age so i know how to handle special need dogs and other pets and have been dog-sitting and cat-sitting for many people since I was 12, I love all animals and will take care of them as if they were my own. I am experienced with young puppies and senior dogs. I am also experienced with dogs that suffer from separation anxiety. I am also very good at sending lots of pictures and daily updates of your fur babies! I am currently working part time at a med spa and I make my own schedule so I will have plenty of flexible time in my day to spend with your pets for whenever you need. I have 2 dogs of my own at home although I do not offer other pets to stay at my home due to having a sensitive senior dog of my own who was born deaf and is now partially blind. I will however be able to stay at your home with your fur babies and even do overnight and extended visits for however long you will need them to be watched. I also will clean up any mess your pets will make because I know how chaotic it may be so please leave out any cleaning supplies I may need.

About: We brought home our 1st puppy when our eldest daughter was 8 weeks old. Everything since then has been easy! Currently have an 8yr old Golden Retriever with a fenced in backyard. Each of our grown children took in a dog or puppy once they had their own homes. We have had cats, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs over the years. I'm recently semi-retired and my daughters have used Rover for their dogs in far away states. I thought it would be a nice way to give our dog a playmate every once in a while. We have a large fenced in yard which your dog can run around or hangout with our dog if they'd like. Our house is split level so there could be 6 stairs at time to go up & down. I love to walk our dog & listen to books or podcasts.

About: I have always had a cat in my home since birth. To me having a cat makes it a home. I myself have 2 beautiful black babies, Storm & Batty. Those boys both with their quirky personalities make my day from sun up play time to sun down cuddles. Each personality is so unique to them, and I love meeting new kitties along the way and learning their special traits as well.

“Dylan did a fantastic job with our menagerie while we were gone for just over a week. Dylan had to deal with one dog and three cats (though two cats decided to play invisible for the duration - they are very skittish). I believe Dylan went over and above what we asked for and we would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Dylan to any prospective clients. Dylan is obviously a true animal lover. We will definitely be requesting Dylan look after our pets in the future should we require this type of service again. Dylan provided regular updates with photos and it was obvious from the huge grin on our little dogs face (she's a smiler) that she was loving every minute of the attention. One of the cats even showed face to get in on the action. A heartfelt thanks goes out to Dylan for the service he provided.”

About: I don’t just watch dogs I treat every dog like family. 🐾❤️ I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. From playtime and cuddles to walks, attention, and plenty of positive interaction, I make sure every dog gets more than just supervision they get a fun, personalized experience they’ll look forward to every time. Because your dog deserves more than a place to stay they deserve a second home. I am a stay at home mom my attention is on kids and animals I only go out if I have to and it’s never a long time I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs (small dogs ) to keep your fur baby company. They will be loved and protected by me and my family❤️

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had one of my own. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also have experience helping at a dog kennel, where I’ve assisted with bathing, feeding, supervising playtime, and making sure the dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and strive to provide patient, loving care that helps them feel safe and at home. Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m home throughout the day caring for dogs and running our grooming business located behind our house. I do leave briefly in the morning and again in the afternoon to care for my horse, but I’m otherwise home and available to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and enjoy time outside. Every dog that stays with me is treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. I strive to provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment so both you and your pet can feel at ease while you’re apart.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since my high school days. I love caring for and building relationships with dogs because they are truly like your best friend when they get to know and love you. Currently I work from home and for the most part make my own schedule every day. I am looking to build loving relationships with every pet that I care for so every owner can confidently put their trust in me to bring their furry friends back to me anytime they need me to take care of them. Me and my husband love dogs! We have a doggy park inside of our residence as well as a lovely community of people who walk their dogs everyday I’m sure your pet will meet some friends as we go out for walks and play at the park. Please let me know if you have any special food or any other request that you need me to accommodate to ensure that your furry baby is okay so I can be prepared as much as I can to welcome them into our home. I make my own schedule every day so i am pretty much free Monday through Sunday each week. I will make sure I update the time slots that are booked as clients start scheduling their appointments. All small and medium-sized dogs will be more than welcomed to roam freely around my living room kitchen area and are allowed to sit and lay on the couches as well. The floors are hardwood so even if they have an accident of pooping or peeing on the floor it will be alot easier for me to clean up on the hard floors than the carpeted areas. They will be allowed to come into my bedroom or any other room as long as I am in the room supervising them. I will take them outside to potty every 2 hours timed from the time they arrive until their scheduled time of leaving. You can feel free to bring their favorite toys they love to play with but I will also be purchasing brand new toys that I'm sure your dogs/cats will love to play with.

About: We brought home our 1st puppy when our eldest daughter was 8 weeks old. Everything since then has been easy! Currently have an 8yr old Golden Retriever with a fenced in backyard. Each of our grown children took in a dog or puppy once they had their own homes. We have had cats, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs over the years. I'm recently semi-retired and my daughters have used Rover for their dogs in far away states. I thought it would be a nice way to give our dog a playmate every once in a while. We have a large fenced in yard which your dog can run around or hangout with our dog if they'd like. Our house is split level so there could be 6 stairs at time to go up & down. I love to walk our dog & listen to books or podcasts.

She listened to our instructions on his allergies and food timing, and took him out for walks. We were super happy that he was happy! Definitely will book again when we are back in the area!”

About: Caring for animals since childhood, dogs, cats, even birds. I’m equally comfortable with energetic puppies and gentle with senior dogs who need extra care and attention. Genuine experience, real love for animals, every visit. I do this full-time with a flexible schedule, so I can be as available as your pet needs — whether that’s a quick daily visit or extended care throughout the day. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, giving medication, and making time for playtime, so your pet’s routine stays consistent even when you’re not there. In my home, your pet gets my full attention in a calm, no-kids, no-other-pets apartment setting, so there’s no competition for space or attention. I keep to their normal feeding and medication schedule and make time for regular play and exercise. In your home, I follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, meds, and playtime, so their day feels normal even while you’re away. I’m also happy to handle basics like bringing in mail and keeping the house secure. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or overnight boarding or house sitting, I adjust my approach to fit the service and your pet’s needs

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with Border Collies and have also adopted several dogs over the years, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy working breeds to laid-back companions. I've also volunteered at several shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. I work from home (as does my wife) so your pet will be getting consistent, attentive care. To be honest, our dog passed away last fall and we are missing the joy of being dog owners and having dogs around, but we need something a little more flexible for the time being. You are getting two sitters for the price of one and we will care for your dog as if they were our own :) As a former dog parent who has used Rover, my goal is to provide exactly what I was looking for each time I booked a walker/sitter: clear communication, limited hassle, and all of the assurances that you can rest easy and not worry...your doggo is in good hands! I work from home and call my own hours (as does my wife) so as long as we know your dog's routine we will make sure to incorporate it into our own. We have a fenced-in yard and a walking path near our home so walks are never a problem (we love walks). My wife and I both work from home so one of us will always be giving your dog attention/supervision. We have previously owned dogs who were flight risks so we have been conditioned to keep an eye out, keep doors closed, etc. We have a big fenced-in yard and have a little indoor gate/fence that we use in the house if need be to secure a hallway, etc.

About: Hi everyone! My name's Shirl and I am hoping to make your life a bit easier by taking away the stress of leaving your pup behind while you're away. I have been pet sitting for over 12 years; I used to have dogs come board with me while owners went away, but I've found that most owners prefer their pets to stay in the comfort of their own home. I have years of experience doing overnight pet sitting, but unfortunately my growing family (3 dogs and a cat of my own) no longer allows for me to stay away from home overnight. I am happy to provide multiple daily visits and/or walks! My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while you're away, by keeping their daily routine as close to "normal" as possible. I've cared for all types of pets including dogs, cats, bunnies, chicks, quail, lizards, fish, etc.! I am an experienced dog handler/ animal lover at heart. I worked at/managed a doggie day care/boarding facility for 4 years, learning from a very experienced trainer who focuses on positive reinforcement techniques ONLY. During my time there, I had opportunities to complete trainings to understand dog behaviors and body language. I have volunteered at BARCS as a dog walker/foster, working primarily with bully breeds. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover my entire life. From playing with salamanders as a kid, to growing up with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes; I've also had bunnies, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, hamsters, birds...the list goes on! I couldn't imagine a life without animals in it. My experience administering medication Yes. Working at a dog boarding facility for nearly 2 years I have had to give many forms of medications, and my personal pets also take oral medications. I am not trained to give injections. My full time job allows me to work from home majority of the week. That makes it easy for me to swing by for a visit at different times of the day. The latest drop in I can provide is 7pm. I am happy to provide updates as soon as I arrive, during the stay, and as I leave. For dog walks, I prefer not to introduce any dog that I’m handling to another dog passing by. This ensures everyone’s safety.

About: I grew up with two dogs, Lucy and Tula, and I love them so very much! I had to help walk, feed, and play with them all of the time. They have very different personalities, so I am used to the high energy, crazy pups, as well as the more timid ones that may need to warm up to me for a little bit! Our family now has adopted a new little mixed puppy named Jack who is absolutely filled with energy and excitement all of the time. I am currently a college student, so I have classes mostly in the mornings, but my schedule is fairly flexible and I can walk your pups when I'm not in class! I can walk your dogs around your neighborhood or somewhere else in town, whatever works best. I'm looking forward to spending time with your furry friends, whether it is just playing with them or walking them!

When they got home they were well tired enough and curled up for a nap. I look forward to having Jenni come walk them again!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, including my previous dog, an 80-pound Golden Retriever. She could be reactive toward other dogs while on leash, so I became very comfortable handling strong dogs, staying calm in challenging situations, and maintaining control even when she was pulling. In addition to caring for my previous dog, I have regularly looked after neighbors’ and friends’ dogs by walking, feeding, and ensuring they were well cared for while their owners were away. In my personal life I love going on long runs up to 6 miles so if you have a higher energy dog that would like to join me I would love to take them with me! I am currently a university student, and I have off of school until the spring semester begins in February. I am free most weekends, and weekdays Monday-Friday. I am comfortable your dog or dogs in any environment. I have taken care of dogs that used special harness’ or prong collars so I know how to work those if needed. I love to run and hike so I can also bring your dog along if they are extra energetic!

About: Hi, I’m Sophie! I attended a vocational trade school where I studied Animal Science for three years. I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of small and large animals, while learning proper handling and restraints, health and behavior, as well as how to safely administer oral and injectable medications. Through my training, I became certified in animal first aid and CPR. I also have experience caring for puppies/kittens, senior animals and pets with special needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent routines. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and also worked at a kennel in high school, so I have spent years caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Because of that, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I give the best care and attention that I possibly can. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing in the yard, relaxing on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, we are committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive, reliable care. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in the care of someone else, and our goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family member! :) Hey! I’m Dylan and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a ton of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up on a farm and have always had multiple pets at a time, so I learned responsibility and animal care at a young age. I currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats of my own, and I love spending time with them—whether it’s going on runs with my dogs or cuddling up with my cats. I’m calm, patient, and always make sure animals feel safe and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with love and respect. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently working a full-time job Monday through Thursday, from 6am until anywhere between 3pm and 5pm, depending on the day. I have Saturdays and Sundays off, and occasionally Fridays. Sophie works 2pm to 10pm a few days a week, her schedule is different every week. Since our schedules are opposite and Sophie has a bit more free time, one of us is always available to spend a good amount of time with your pet. The first thing we do when taking care of our own pets, or others pets, is let them out to go to the bathroom. Next, we prioritize feeding and medicating (if necessary) and cleaning and refilling all water bowls. Once everything important is taken care of, we then spend quality time with them, whether it’s playing fetch, cuddling or going for a walk. Before we leave, we make sure we let them back outside for a good while to make sure they take care of all of their business.

As we have traveled the world, we have watched pets of all ages and sizes. My kids love having furry friends visit and enjoy joining me when walking the dog. So much so, my daughter's first word was "kitten." In our home, we have a beautiful black lab, tortie kitty, and a handful of geckos that live in our backyard. Now that my three children are in school, I would love to assist you with dog walking, cat and dog boarding, and daily check-ins for any of your furry family members.

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and three years of hands-on training in animal science at TCHS, I provide expert care in walking, feeding, grooming, and administering medications. Currently, I apply these skills daily at a local kennel, ensuring every pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I currently work part-time at Vixen Hall Kennels. My schedule changes weekly, but I’m flexible with hours and can easily accommodate different times. I’m also willing to get up early or stay up late if needed to ensure your pets receive the best care at any time of day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain their pets' routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication. I’m committed to providing personalized care and always prioritize the well-being of each animal, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away.

About: I’ve have always had a dog & cats since I was a child. I love all pet cuddles! And meeting new friends. I have one dog and two cats at the moment. I've dog sat for my friends and coworkers when they need someone to be with their babies for nights away or random drop ins to check on them. I'm looking for a fun way to make extra money and i couldn't think of anything better then spending time with dogs & cats while doing that. I work four days a week but it’s flexible! I’m available everyday after 2pm and if I have a good enough heads up I’m available 24/7 I can give you references of people I have house/pet sat for in the past. I’m comfortable crating your pet if needed. I’m easily available on my cell phone when I am pet sitting. And I can send updates whenever you would like.

About: I have taken care of many animals and give the best care I can while sharing pictures and updates to the owner. I can work with food motivated animals to do simple tricks. I am starting college shortly but I still will dedicate as much time as I can to taking care of animals. Breaks and days I don't have classes will be for anyone needing pet care! I have a car and can go to clients' houses and take care of their pets, as I have done often for friends and neighbors. I have a partially fenced yard for leashed play. I am in a house under construction but the top floor is finished and houses my two kittens. Calmer dogs would be better if coming into my house, otherwise I am able to care for any size or personality in the owners house.

I love animals, can handle stressful situations, and know how to make responsable decisions regarding your home and beloved animals. I also will communicate effectively and be timely in my care of your pet. I work a job that has a flexible schedule, I do not have any prior commitments on weekends and any pet sitting jobs I book will become top priority. Pets should be treated with just as much respect as any person. Introducing yourself, acting calm and kindly, and also reading body cues and signs to make sure they remain comfortable at all times.

Only one male neutered dog who gets along with most dogs. I love to play and pet the dogs often and then love to sit with me and watch favorite movie!

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs throughout the past few years. I provided whatever they needed whether that was feeding, walking, or playing. I’m currently working a part time restaurant job that never ends later than 10:30 pm. So I will have plenty of time to take care of pets overnight and during the day. I provide reliable, attentive care in my client’s homes by following routines, offering playtime and affection, administering medications as needed, and keeping owners updated regularly.

“Justin & Stephanie were so great with our big dog & our older dog. We loved how detailed they were during the meetup and how many pictures they sent us while we were away! We really felt like they were in good loving hands while we were away and they made our first rover experience awesome.”

“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”

They were attentive to the dog, responsive to us while we were on our trip, and operate with respect and professionalism you’d hope for when letting someone watch over a part of your family. Can’t recommend them enough! Our Shiloh will absolutely be staying with them again on our next trip.”

About: Caring for animals since childhood, dogs, cats, even birds. I’m equally comfortable with energetic puppies and gentle with senior dogs who need extra care and attention. Genuine experience, real love for animals, every visit. I do this full-time with a flexible schedule, so I can be as available as your pet needs — whether that’s a quick daily visit or extended care throughout the day. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, giving medication, and making time for playtime, so your pet’s routine stays consistent even when you’re not there. In my home, your pet gets my full attention in a calm, no-kids, no-other-pets apartment setting, so there’s no competition for space or attention. I keep to their normal feeding and medication schedule and make time for regular play and exercise. In your home, I follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, meds, and playtime, so their day feels normal even while you’re away. I’m also happy to handle basics like bringing in mail and keeping the house secure. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or overnight boarding or house sitting, I adjust my approach to fit the service and your pet’s needs

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Brittany watch our Toby for extended stay while we were on vacation. From the first meet and greet, we were certain we made the right choice as it is apparent Brittany genuinely loves animals and pet sitting. Her beautiful home and farm is such a welcoming place for animals of all kinds and our dog even used the pool for swimming. We really enjoyed the daily pictures and updates from Brittany to put our minds at ease. She even gave our dog a bath at the end. Highly recommend Brittany if you are looking for a loving pet sitter!”

“Great communication and flexibility. They also offered a half price trial overnight which was a great idea. I was uncertain how Riley would do with young children as she’s never had experience with kids younger than middle school age and having this trial before a week long stay made me more comfortable. Riley had a good time with them and Dunkin. We’ve booked that week long stay.”
