“Awesome awesomeness, taco had an awesome time. For him to be a very high energy dog Nicole and her family made sure he enjoyed himself to the point that all that husky puppy energy was spent. Already planning to schedule another boarding with her”

“We had a great experience with Julia & Jacob. They took such s wonderful care of our dog while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind to receive regular updates, pictures, and videos — it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and well-loved. Communication was easy, and everything went smoothly. They truly went above and beyond by picking up and dropping off our dog, which made everything so much easier for us. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“Casey did a fantastic job watching my dog. They were reliable, communicative, and incredibly caring. My dog loved her and her family! I cannot recommend them enough and will absolutely use them again in the future.”
“We had to book last minute since for the 4th of July holiday weekend and Shatonia was so accommodating and understanding. She was very professional and responsive when I would check in and she was very understanding when traffic made us later than anticipated for pickup. Our pup seemed to have a good time and we definitely recommend booking with Shatonia!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving Nena with Sarah and her family for the weekend. Sarah lives with her family in an oversized row home, so Nena had lots of room to play. She got along very well with their dog. I received lots of photos throughout the weekend I was gone. Sarah even was able to drop Nena off to my apartment down the road since my husband got in very late the day we needed to pick her up. I had so much peace of mind that my little baby was taken care of while I was gone. Will definitely use Sarah again for boarding!”
“LC had a WONDERFUL time with Erin & her pup!!! We will definitely be hitting Erin up again when we need a dogsitter. She is the nicest person EVER! She is just WONDERFUL!”
“Great service, as usual. We have used Diana on many occasions for short and long term (three weeks plus) stays and feel very comfortable leaving our four legged family member in her hands. When we drop the dog off he is so excited, it's his second home. She is always our number 1 goto for ROVER needs. Highly recommend. Garnett, Jackie & Andy”
“I really want to thank Janelle, Joanna and Gwendolyn for the excellent love they gave my Broc and Remi. You could feel from the first meeting your fur babies would be in good hands. They asked very good questions about your pets, so that they could render the best care. I received updates, pictures and videos showing the fun Broc and Remi was having. I could tell Broc and Remi were having lots of fun playing with their dog Zoe. If I ever need a sitter again, I'll definitely reach out to them and hope they're available. Thank you Ladies again and thank you Rover for your service.”
“Never boarded a pet before, but I left my Xander there and they treated him wonderfully! He even got a cat tree to play on, which I don’t even have! Highly recommend!”

“Crissy did a great job taking care of my cat, including her new medication. Harri was in great spirits when I got home. She was thorough and left the house neat. Thank you!!!”
“Elise was so kind and easy to work with, and she took great care of my cats! One of my cats needed medicine and was a very difficult patient, but she worked out a way to make sure he took his meds. She was also very accommodating and able to extend her services when my trip lasted an extra day. Paws down, I would recommend her!”
“Stephanie should be a professional pet photographer. The pics she sent us were great! Our older guy also needs meds now and she did great making sure he took them since he sometimes resists. She was very sweet to our cats and took great care of them. Will be working with Stephanie again in the future!”
“Jackie is responsible, loving, and accommodating. She always takes such good care of my cat and leaves detailed and kind notes each time she visits. This past visit, Jackie was very flexible when my plans changed suddenly and was very helpful and communicative. When she comes to get keys, my cat knows she's special and rushes to the door to greet her! Jackie will always be the first person I call to care for my pet.”
“Tabatha was great! She managed to do her first visit with our kitties in spite of a pretty bad snow storm. Her pictures were reassuring that our pets were fed, well cared for, and loved. Thank you, Tabatha!”
“Maria is absolutely outstanding! She was so awesome with our Pop and he loved being in her company. She always gave us regular updates and photos during our vacation which reduced our concern to next to nothing. We look forward to her being a regular part of his care 🩷”
“Lisa is so great with my cat. She drops in twice/day, and sends me loads of pictures. This is the 3rd time I’ve hired Lisa and will definitely be reaching out to her again! She even brought Bella some toys to play with and let me know of a possible health concern. She is reliable and thoughtful - you won’t be disappointed!”
“We were away for six days and felt so comfortable leaving our Siamese cat, Gus, with Michelle. Gus has a lot of personality and usually doesn't like many people, but Michelle truly had the magic touch! He was completely at ease and so cuddly with her. She was great at communicating and we loved getting all the photo updates. We will definitely book her again!”
“Stacey was very understanding and supportive when our air conditioner broke the day we left on vacation! She made sure the cats had ice water and opened windows for us. What was a stressful adventure was made less so by her calm and kind presence.”
“Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive. I felt so safe leaving her with my cat Shredder, especially given her background in pet care and veterinary medicine. Thank you so much for your grace and understanding during the past 2 weeks, it truly meant a lot to me. 100% would recommend to anyone in the area seeking pet care.”
About: Growing up with both dogs and cats gave me a lifelong love for animals. Caring for them has always come naturally to me. I'm kind, patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pet with the same love, care, and respect I'd give my own. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a college student who works part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. During the summer, I have open availability, and throughout the school year I carefully plan my time to make sure every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. I keep my Rover calendar updated and will always communicate clearly so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care in the comfort of your pet's own home, where they will always be supervised and treated like family. I carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I keep fresh water available at all times, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have worked with all sizes of dogs and have worked with multiple pets at a time for the past 10 years. I am available to stay overnight and am available for walks and drop in visits on my work from home days. I absolutely adore senior dogs and rescues as those have been the dogs that have personally come into my life but I love them all :) I absolutely love every aspect of working with animals and work very hard to communicate with you about your expectations of care for your dog. I also always make sure to send photos and texts giving you updates about how your dog is doing while you're away! I really just enjoy spending time with your pets and if you have a dog that loves going places I always love to take them out and about. If needed, I am also comfortable with administering medications for your pets. In my client's home I respect the rules of their home. It's my place to make sure your pets are taken care of the way that you want! So whatever are their normal routines and rules is what I strive to follow. I especially love if part of their normal routine is treat giving! I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays making me available for walks and drop in, I am also off work every other Friday and my schedule is fairly flexible! I find it really important to follow the rules and manners set by the pet parents. I have personally raised rescues with unclear pasts so am also very aware of how to socialize dogs appropriately and respect their boundaries so they feel safe and I can earn their trust.
About: I have experience taking care of a border collie, Australian Shepard, and a German Shepard. I enjoy walking around the city and always open to a companion or two joining me. I am able to host dogs at my place, with my German Shepard. I have a fully fenced in yard that all dogs can play in, and I can walk them around my neighborhood. I am also able to do drop in visits for dogs or cats and stop by to walk any dogs. I normally travel for work 3 days a week. When not traveling I am either working from home or have local visits. I plan out my visits so that any pets staying with me will not go longer than 4 hours alone. I will allow all dogs to roam freely while I’m at home and take a break to play with them, and my dog, for about 10 minutes every hour. It gets boring sitting in front of a computer. For any walks or drop ins the time is spent making sure they get plenty of stimulation. Whether it’s walking a new route or playing in the yard I have a fenced in back yard. No other dogs or animals get in the yard, except a squirrel or two. When walking in my neighborhood there is minimal traffic since it has no way for cars to go through it( a lot of dead end streets). I’m close to 695 so if an emergency happens I can get to many vets in the area fast.

About: What sets me apart from other care takers is the level of care and attention I give every animal. I take the time to understand their personality and routine and I prioritize inclusion. I love to keep them active and mentally stimulated especially the ones that are ready to rock and roll! I am always available to give updates and even FaceTime so the owners have peace of mind. I would expect that from anyone taking care of my fur baby as well. I am naturally a very active person and being able to play, walk and care for animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I provide attentive, compassionate, and reliable care for pets in my home.I respect each pet owner’s instruction's, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication (if needed), and maintaining a clean environment.

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life, but after getting my first dog at 18 I decided to become a professional dog lover. I have worked at boarding kennels, vet clinics and shelters and for the last 8 years have owned and operated a training company where we have offered in home care for a variety of pets. I love working with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I love even more getting to make them a part of my extended family. Pet care is our routine around here! Aside from running our human kiddo to school, my entire days revolve around the needs of the dogs in our home. We set aside time for playtime in the yard, cuddles on the couch, and training time for pups booked through my training company. I have a fully fenced yard with a secondary fenced space for smaller dogs. We have 3 resident dogs who are all friendly and playful, and grumpy old man cat who mostly avoids the dogs. Guest pups are crated when we are away from home and overnight, with a camera on them to make sure everyone is safe and happy.
“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”
“This was my first time using Danielle, I was truly impressed, from the first picture she sent me I could see that my fur baby was in love from the way he was looking at her with his paw on her arm, that put my mind at ease. Danielle was a ten out of ten and I will definitely be using her again. ❤️”

“I recently moved here from PA with my dog (Atlas). New state, new job and I really needed a pet sitter while I was at work. I won't lie - I was scared to trust someone with my fur baby. After the first week of walks I could tell Atlas really enjoyed being around Crissy and that genuinely made me at ease. Crissy is very reliable, communicates well, and most importantly is attentive when caring for my Atlas. She goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of my fur baby. One instance was when I misplaced his raincoat and Crissy came to the rescue- she let him borrow a raincoat and made sure he didn't get soaked. No words can describe my gratitude. I genuinely believe Crissy is top-tier and deserves all the praise!!! Atlas and I highly recommend :)”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I grew up with dogs, have two cats of my own, volunteer with a senior dog rescue, and have fostered around eight dogs—all of whom found loving homes through adoption. I'm comfortable walking up to three medium- to large-sized dogs at a time and always prioritize safety on every walk. I enjoy taking dogs on different routes so they can explore new sights and smells while getting safe exercise and mental enrichment. I provide drop-in visits that include feeding, refreshing food and water, cleaning bowls, scooping litter boxes, picking up after dogs, playtime, and plenty of affection—whether that's belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles, or a game of fetch. I have experience administering oral medications to both dogs and cats, as well as applying topical ointments to dogs when needed.

Communication is important to me, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, sharing the fun moments from each visit as well as any concerns if they arise.

Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, medication, or some extra love and attention, I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide dependable, consistent care. I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule, personality, and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll provide fresh food and water, clean bowls, scoop litter boxes or pick up waste, administer medications if needed, and make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. For dog walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks tailored to your dog's age, energy level, and comfort. I always prioritize safety by using secure leashing practices, staying alert to our surroundings, and following any instructions you provide. I'm respectful of your home and will leave it just as I found it. I'll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to care for your pets as if they were my own.

I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!

I especially love if part of their normal routine is treat giving! I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays making me available for walks and drop in, I am also off work every other Friday and my schedule is fairly flexible! I find it really important to follow the rules and manners set by the pet parents. I have personally raised rescues with unclear pasts so am also very aware of how to socialize dogs appropriately and respect their boundaries so they feel safe and I can earn their trust.

“Steph took great care of Jill and kept us in the loop on the great time she was having with her two dogs. Jill was very happy and very tuckered out from a great couple days of playing when we picked her up.”
“Melissa was great! She was flexible with my drop off and pickup times and was always in touch. Luna had a great stay! Melissa also sent me pictures too, which helped a lot! Would definitely use her again!”
“Liz is amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and I was nervous but she made everything so easy. She took such great care of my dog that I think he misses her now. We will be booking again in a few weeks ☺️☺️☺️”
“Awesome awesomeness, taco had an awesome time. For him to be a very high energy dog Nicole and her family made sure he enjoyed himself to the point that all that husky puppy energy was spent. Already planning to schedule another boarding with her”
“Our Bellatrix's first time with Crissy and she had a wonderful time. Crissy was great keeping in touch and sending pics. Thank you Crissy. Bellatrix will see you and Dublin again soon ☺️”
“Casey did a fantastic job watching my dog. They were reliable, communicative, and incredibly caring. My dog loved her and her family! I cannot recommend them enough and will absolutely use them again in the future.”
“We had to book last minute since for the 4th of July holiday weekend and Shatonia was so accommodating and understanding. She was very professional and responsive when I would check in and she was very understanding when traffic made us later than anticipated for pickup. Our pup seemed to have a good time and we definitely recommend booking with Shatonia!”
“Great service, as usual. We have used Diana on many occasions for short and long term (three weeks plus) stays and feel very comfortable leaving our four legged family member in her hands. When we drop the dog off he is so excited, it's his second home. She is always our number 1 goto for ROVER needs. Highly recommend. Garnett, Jackie & Andy”
“I really want to thank Janelle, Joanna and Gwendolyn for the excellent love they gave my Broc and Remi. You could feel from the first meeting your fur babies would be in good hands. They asked very good questions about your pets, so that they could render the best care. I received updates, pictures and videos showing the fun Broc and Remi was having. I could tell Broc and Remi were having lots of fun playing with their dog Zoe. If I ever need a sitter again, I'll definitely reach out to them and hope they're available. Thank you Ladies again and thank you Rover for your service.”
“Andrew was an amazing sitter for my dog. He sent daily videos and was very communicative. I felt at ease having her stay with him. It is very clear he enjoys dog sitting and is great at what he does. He is experienced and trustworthy. My dog seemed so happy and comfortable with him. I will be using him again!”
“Cecil was amazing he took great care of my dog. Plus my dog got to socialize with other dogs. Which can be difficult because he's a pittie. I'd highly recommend him if you need dog boarding”
“We had such a great experience with Rich! He took wonderful care of our dog for an overnight stay in his home. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring — he sent us updates and photos so we knew our pup was happy and comfortable. You can tell Rich truly loves dogs and treats them like his own. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Quinn was amazing (and a great photographer!) She was phenomenal at updating me twice a day about how their stay was going, and prompt to let me know when Riley had an upset stomach. I really appreciate and recommend her! If possible I will definitely book with her again. I know Riley enjoyed herself as well!”
“Irma took great care of our girls and they had a great time! She really put them at ease. She sends lots of updates which is great for peace of mind when you have to leave your dogs but she’s a great pet sitter!”
“My Yumi LOVED ROBERT!!!! He was so attentive and loving to her and it shows. Yumi jumped in his lap as if that was her new boo!!! Definitely an A+ experience, I can tell she was well cared for and spoiled!!! ❤️”
“Awesome dog sitter! She kept my dog last minute right before a planned family trip. She made me feel comfortable especially being new to the Rover app. I would recommend anyone to her. Got my dog back today and I already think he is attached to her..lol! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’m someone who has had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets wasn’t just a part of my life—it was my life. My Dad taught biology and always was bringing all kinds of pets home for us. From early mornings filled with wagging tails to quiet nights with a furry friend curled up beside me, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Today, that love continues with my two dogs, who are truly part of everything I do. They go everywhere with me. They go boating and camping with me as well. They’re not just pets; they’re family, and they’ve helped shape a home that’s full of warmth, comfort, and lots of tail wags. When I am not working, you’ll usually find me at home spending quality time with my fur babies—whether it’s going on long walks, playing, or just enjoying cozy snuggles on the couch. My home is calm, loving, and pet-friendly in every way. I would absolutely love the opportunity to care for your fur babies as if they were my own. Whether they need a place to stay, extra attention, or just some good company, they’ll be welcomed with open arms (and plenty of treats and cuddles!). Your pets deserve a safe, happy place—and I’d love to be that for them. I work full time, but like to be home with my babies when I am not working. Outside of that I am spending time with my fur babies. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare): Pets staying with me become part of the family. I maintain a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. My two friendly dogs are well-socialized and used to having other pets around, helping visiting pets feel comfortable and included. There’s always time for walks, play, and lots of snuggles. In Your Home (Drop-ins/House Sitting): When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent to reduce stress. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, and medication if needed. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. I send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. No matter the service, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of love.
“Shannon did a fantastic job watching our dog Ava, who had a great time playing with other dogs and sleeping the day away after being tired out. Shannon was very communicative, sent great photos, and took great care of our dog. Highly recommend!”
