“Michelle was so accommodating for a last minute booking! She sent pictures throughout the time period and kept me up to date on how Kovu was adjusting. Our dog has some separation anxiety and she was able to get him to be comfortable in no time. Already booked for an overnight next weekend!”
“Shuling is fantastic and I highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She responds immediately and sends a lot of great photos and videos during the stay. As a dog owner, I can see in the photo that my dog is very happy and comfortable with her. We are repeat customers and Shuling has watched our dog for several nights over different occasions with more booked in the future. When we arrive for drop off, he is always super excited to see her and follow her into the home. I never had to worry and know that my dog is taken care of. Thank you, Shuling!”
“We had a perfect experience with Peggy! Our senior Golden Retriever requires twice daily medication and extra attention, and Peggy handled everything with great care. We received regular updates and felt at ease knowing our Charlie girl was in great hands. We will definitely book with Peggy again!”
“Debra is the most amazing dog sitter ever. We have used her multiple times and will keep coming back as long as she allows us to. I wouldn’t want to send my sometimes very difficult/anxious dog to anyone else because I trust her completely. She treats my dog like one of her own kids and I appreciate how much care she shows towards her every time she watches her. Thank you so much Debra!!”
“Becca was great! Levi loved her and had such a fun time with her and her family, and she sent updates and photos every day, which I appreciated. We’ll definitely use Becca again in the future!”
“Elena did an amazing job with our Old English Sheepdog Lady. I could really tell that she loves taking care of animals, and she did a great job. Our dog was pretty nervous as she went to the vet the day before, but Eleana made her feel at home and I thank her for that. I highly recommend her.”
“Justine was great. She has lots of experience, and a bunch of energetic playmate pups! I appreciated the quick drop-off/pick-up without a hassle. She’s quick to respond and sent pictures throughout the day.”
“Carlie was amazing with our puppy Sadie. It was our first time leaving her with anyone and it went so well. Lots of love to our sweet puppy and she was happy all day. Carly shared lots of pics as well. Highly recommend!”
“I was really nervous leaving Gypsea for the first time with someone that I didn't know. I wasn't sure how Gypsea would do not knowing who she was with. She did wonderfully!! She seemed to fit in with Joann's own pets and had tons of fun playing with her doggies! Joann was very good with keeping me updated on how Gypsea was doing and sending me photos of all the fun! Gypsea had a great time! She is worn out and sleeping like a baby! I will definitely use Joann in the future to take care of my Gypsea! Thank you again Joann for making Gypsea feel at home and putting my mind at ease!!”
“Kimberly and her family made Ruthie fe right at home and provided her with a home away from home! They were so kind and accommodating to her. Ruthie gets anxious knowing kennels and sometimes doesn’t like other dogs, so this is the perfect solution for her. She was treated like family! We will definitely be back!”
“Wow, I can't say enough about how well Katelyn cared for and accommodated our dog Oscar. He was nervous at first but quickly adapted and thrived - thank you Soooo Much, 6 stars out of 5! Definitely a keeper!!”
“Marliez was absolutely amazing! She was attentive and kind. My fur baby was happy to stay with her and was very well taken care of; she stayed in a home away from home. Marliez sent me pictures every day and made sure to give me an update on my baby’s activities and mood. Would definitely recommend Marliez to anyone wanting their baby to stay in a loving home while they are away. Loved working with Marliez and will be booking with her in the future.”
“This was our second time leaving our dog Peach with them and she had the best time. It was a relief to know that she was in such good hands while we were out of the country. Jill kept in contact and sent regular pictures. 10/10 recommend them and will continue to use them!”
“Dana’s house was a perfect spot for our dog! She has a great fenced in yard and sent multiple photo updates reassuring us that our doggo was having a great time. Her location was a perfect stop on our way to the beach. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Janice and Stalio were wonderful dog sitters to my two toy fox terriers. They sent updates and photos during my trip to Iceland for a week. No complaints whatsoever, I couldn’t recommend them more!”
“We had our trial stay with Candice and the pups and us felt very comfortable and happy. She was very communicative. Easy to work with and kept us updated with the pups throughout the day. We’re glad we met her and will be going to her many many times in the future.”
About: Reliable, Attentive Care — I Treat Your Pets Like Family Hi, I’m Stacey. I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring deeply and responsibly for dogs. I recently lost my own dog after many years, and that experience reinforced how important patience, comfort, and dependable care truly are. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with a pet you love. I follow routines closely, take instructions seriously, and pay attention to the small details that help pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs who need a calm, steady presence. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. Schedule availability: Currently, my availability is during weekday (elementary) school hours (8am - 2pm), ensuring dedicated attention for each visit giving focus and unrushed care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely. I ensure leashes, doors, and gates are secure, monitor behavior and comfort, and give calm, attentive care. I respect my clients’ homes and provide clear updates and photos after every visit.

“So thankful Liza was looked after by Alex and Andrea while I was away on a work trip. They sent pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. 10/10 recommend them if you are looking for caring and helpful pet sitters.”
“Jaclyn was great with my cat, Bella. She came at all the right times, made sure she was fed and had enough water, checked her litter every day, spent time, and played with her. I got plenty of pictures reassuring me that she was well taken care of. I would definitely seek out her services should I travel again.”
“10/10, I would absolutely book with her again! She made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Briana was incredible! I truly count myself as lucky to have found someone that cared for my babies like they were her very own. Even in one of the worst scenarios we could've been in, she held her compsure and did what we couldn't. She immediately let me know something was wrong with my Gordito's health and then went above and beyond to care for him in his time of need. It's because of her that we found some peace in a very difficult time, and I can't thank her enough.”
“Shannon is a great sitter for my cats while I was away on a 3-week European trip. She made sure that my cats were fed and very happy with her. Very plesed with her quick responses and notes describing how my cats are doing. I will have her again in the near future!!”
About: Im the better choice when choosing someone to care for your pet because of the genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every cat/dog as if they were my own. I understand that each cat (or dog) deserves individulized care that matches their unique personality, routine, and comfort level.
About: I am an avid dog (and cat!) lover and have had experience working with other various types of animals over the course of the last 12 years! I previously was a dog trainer and have been trained to work with dog aggression and handling anxious dogs. Currently I own one dog and two cats. My dog’s name is Dzeko and he does well with a variety of animals. My three cats are named The Girl and Malenia. I love hiking and running so I can exercise your energetic pup as much as needed! If you have questions or need help with your dog’s behavior we can also discuss training. I’m currently in Hawaii for the next couple of months, traveling while working remotely. I work Monday through Thursday in the mornings and wrap up around noon, which leaves me with plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or just spending time with your pets. My weekends are completely open as well. Since I’m here to experience the island at a slower pace, I’m intentionally keeping my schedule flexible and would love to combine my time here with caring for pets. I’m also available for house sitting, so I can provide more consistent care and keep your pets company throughout the day if needed. I try to keep everything as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away! I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely, and I’m very attentive to behavior changes or anything that seems off. I’m clean and respectful of your space! I’m also mindful about safety, making sure doors, gates, and any pet specific precautions are always handled properly. I also like to stay in touch and send updates/photos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for while you’re away!
“Ashlyn was GREAT (5-stars) with my super energetic Australian Cattle Dog! She made sure that he was attended to when needed during the day and spent time with him playing in the yard and with his toys. She frequently sent photos and updated the “rover card” so that I knew how he was doing- it made me feel so much better being away from him. I felt confident leaving my fur-baby in her care while I traveled, and will most definitely use her service again!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young, I love dogs. I enjoy meeting their different personality traits and getting to know them. Dogs make my heart melt. I will take care of your dogs as though they are my own because i know the fear that comes associated since I’ve kept my dog with others myself. I have a pitbull and a chihuahua as well as 2 cats so I love any size, any attitude. They’re all perfect lovable creatures & I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them or even just laying with them and cuddling. My dogs are my best friends and I would like to make your dogs the same way. They need lots of love attention and affection and I’m willing to provide that when you aren’t able to! I’m currently in school for social work so I have a lot of extra time on my hands, I love filling it with our furry friends. I understand all methods of caretaking when it comes to our pets. If your dog is a jumper, I’ll always watch and make sure they don’t jump over any fences. I am somewhat of a hover parent myself & I keep such an eye on my pets, they’ve never had an accident resulting in a vet visit. I also understand sensitive stomachs & our babies that are dying to eat everything, itching for a vet appt but not on my watch. I multitask well so your pet will never go unnoticed.
“Nev was awesome with our cats, making sure all their quirks were taken care of! Very friendly and can tell she really cares about the animals - we will definitely be using her services in the future!”
About: I've had cats since I was a child and spent several years helping with foster cats. I am experienced with all different cat personalities - shy, feisty, standoffish, friendly. When it comes to cats and kittens, I understand how to be patient and respect the animals' boundaries. I am willing to make sure your cat(s) is safe and taken care of while you are away and am willing to send as many photos of your animals as you need.

“Another great stay with Marliez! Our boy Ranger always leaves so satisfied and tired (in the best way). We love that he gets to take good walks, play at the park, nap comfortably, and be watched so attentively. And Marliez’s communication during daycare is all we could hope for.”
“Brittany is the seriously best! She took care of my 2 year old labradoodle, and it was clear from the photos that my dog was having the time of her life in her big backyard and welcoming environment. Thank you, Brittany!”
About: I trained my current dog (golden retriever) since he was a puppy. I grew up with many animals including chickens, bunnies, cats and birds! I also took in 2 stray cats I found at a local gas station. I adopted my border collie and other cat from AACACC. I also like to help out my older neighbor by walking and playing fetch with his Lab. I’m familiar with a decent portion of breeds and understand their needs can vary a lot! I have a very flexible schedule, I do college classes online so I can choose when to do my assignments based on my schedule during the day. I prioritize training and basic obedience with my dog. My dog goes everywhere with me from car rides, to getting a pup cup, to the lake to swim! I love to take care of him, and spoil him with toys as well. I’m very much the same with your pets! I like to ask what their usual routine is and if you’re working on training or anything specific with them. I also always send a detailed Rover Card for you to look over.

“Sarah has become my go-to sitter for Phife. I had an emergency during this booking and Sarah was flexible and accommodating. I so appreciated her for that. Phife gets so excited when he realizes he is about to be dropped off at Sarah’s.”
“We were visiting from out of state and needed somewhere for our pups to hang out while we did touristy things. We looked for someone that was highly rated and after reviewing profiles we found Alexis. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided our dogs. She’s friendly, competent, and our dogs loved her. THANK YOU ALEXIS!”
“Ryan and Sabrina have been wonderful as sitters for Toby. He loves going there and especially loves their big yard. They are very flexible with any changes and always accomodating. I totally recommend 100%.”
“Absolutely wonderful ! Walked my dog twice .it was my first time using rover in a new state and Benjamin was a delight. I will be rebooking when I’m in the area again ! Thanks so much for taking such good care of my pup”
“Dana was great. We needed someone close to my sister's house while we celebrated an early Christmas, and she was able to help us out. We will definitely use her again when we are in town.”
“I have to be very selective with my puppy because not everyone has the comfort to take care of small breeds that may need more surveillance and can’t fully regulate themselves yet. Janay was quick to respond to my messages and answered my questions so thoroughly so I was confident that she’d be a good fit. She asked how often I wanted to get updates and went above even what I requested to make sure I knew my pup was well looked after! I know my little guy was well taken care of and had fun day with Janay - he was so tired when I picked him up 😆😴 Would totally rebook with her!”

“Debra is the most amazing dog sitter ever. We have used her multiple times and will keep coming back as long as she allows us to. I wouldn’t want to send my sometimes very difficult/anxious dog to anyone else because I trust her completely. She treats my dog like one of her own kids and I appreciate how much care she shows towards her every time she watches her. Thank you so much Debra!!”
“Becca was great! Levi loved her and had such a fun time with her and her family, and she sent updates and photos every day, which I appreciated. We’ll definitely use Becca again in the future!”
“Elena did an amazing job with our Old English Sheepdog Lady. I could really tell that she loves taking care of animals, and she did a great job. Our dog was pretty nervous as she went to the vet the day before, but Eleana made her feel at home and I thank her for that. I highly recommend her.”
“Justine was great. She has lots of experience, and a bunch of energetic playmate pups! I appreciated the quick drop-off/pick-up without a hassle. She’s quick to respond and sent pictures throughout the day.”
“Carlie was amazing with our puppy Sadie. It was our first time leaving her with anyone and it went so well. Lots of love to our sweet puppy and she was happy all day. Carly shared lots of pics as well. Highly recommend!”
“Sabrina and Ryan have been my heroes over the last month. They've been flexible with my chaotic life and have been wonderful with both my dog and cat. They're incredibly responsive and keep me up to date constantly on how the boys are doing. 10/10 will stay again.”
“I was really nervous leaving Gypsea for the first time with someone that I didn't know. I wasn't sure how Gypsea would do not knowing who she was with. She did wonderfully!! She seemed to fit in with Joann's own pets and had tons of fun playing with her doggies! Joann was very good with keeping me updated on how Gypsea was doing and sending me photos of all the fun! Gypsea had a great time! She is worn out and sleeping like a baby! I will definitely use Joann in the future to take care of my Gypsea! Thank you again Joann for making Gypsea feel at home and putting my mind at ease!!”
“Kimberly and her family made Ruthie fe right at home and provided her with a home away from home! They were so kind and accommodating to her. Ruthie gets anxious knowing kennels and sometimes doesn’t like other dogs, so this is the perfect solution for her. She was treated like family! We will definitely be back!”
“Fidel and his wife were excellent. They regularly sent photos and made sure our Lyric received her pain pills when her hips started bothering her from all the running around. Although he’s a distance from us, he will be where we leave Lyric from now on”
“This was our second time leaving our dog Peach with them and she had the best time. It was a relief to know that she was in such good hands while we were out of the country. Jill kept in contact and sent regular pictures. 10/10 recommend them and will continue to use them!”
“Dana’s house was a perfect spot for our dog! She has a great fenced in yard and sent multiple photo updates reassuring us that our doggo was having a great time. Her location was a perfect stop on our way to the beach. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“We had our trial stay with Candice and the pups and us felt very comfortable and happy. She was very communicative. Easy to work with and kept us updated with the pups throughout the day. We’re glad we met her and will be going to her many many times in the future.”
“Rich was great! He kept me updated with Kash and had excellent communication throughout. I was so nervous at first, but everything worked out perfectly. Thanks again!”
About: Reliable, Attentive Care — I Treat Your Pets Like Family Hi, I’m Stacey. I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring deeply and responsibly for dogs. I recently lost my own dog after many years, and that experience reinforced how important patience, comfort, and dependable care truly are. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with a pet you love. I follow routines closely, take instructions seriously, and pay attention to the small details that help pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs who need a calm, steady presence. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. Schedule availability: Currently, my availability is during weekday (elementary) school hours (8am - 2pm), ensuring dedicated attention for each visit giving focus and unrushed care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely. I ensure leashes, doors, and gates are secure, monitor behavior and comfort, and give calm, attentive care. I respect my clients’ homes and provide clear updates and photos after every visit.
