“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”
“Bria did a great job caring for our Maddie for 6 days. She was kind, responsive to my texts, and sent texts/pics every day to let us know how she was doing. I appreciated that Maddie had lots of playtime with other dogs and will definitely use Bria again. She made us feel that Maddie was being well cared for and loved.”
“Marlin was awesome while watching my cat Buckeye. She really put me at ease about leaving her with a sitter for the first time. Marlin was quick to ask questions and respond when needed, even provided me updates on how my cat was doing. I would absolutely recommend Marlin as a sitter to anyone in need and will be booking again in the future. Thanks Marlin!”
“Julijai’s family stepped in on short notice and went above and beyond — so attentive, caring, and genuinely loving with Penny. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away. Thank you !!!”
“Cal and Kelly went above and beyond in taking care of my dog while I was away. From the very beginning, they made me feel completely at ease with their warm communication and attention to detail. They sent daily updates, along with the most amazing videos and pictures that truly captured my dog’s happiness and comfort. I could tell they genuinely cared about her well-being and treated her like their own. Their dogs were very friendly and loving. Their dedication and love for animals are clear, and I’m so grateful for the exceptional care they provided. I would 100% recommend Cal and Kelly to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitters. They’re simply the best!”
“I had 2 back to back trips planned and I needed a sitter for my senior dog. Diana did a wonderful job looking after my "old lady". She took her out for lots of exercise and she constantly sent me updates with pics and videos of my dog while she took care of her. I would definitely use Diana's services again whenever I need to go out of town.”
“Annette was amazing… She communicated regularly with me throughout Charlie’s stay.. She asked lots of questions to assure she was taking care of him as I wanted her too and because she has so much experience with dogs she was able to teach him son obedience skills and share that with me so I could practice as well.. I will definitely be using her service again!!!!!”
“Robert and Pam were awesome. We met them and their husky Shiloh and got a gods feeling. We booked an overnight test run and things went great. Sam got a lot of playtime outside and moped all the way home after we picked him up. He was treated like one of the family and is looking forward to returning.”

“Sharon deserves an infinite number of stars! She watched Beanie (my fur baby) while we were away overseas for a vacation and could not have done it without her. I'm selective when it comes to sitters and I had the peace of mind knowing Sharon would care for Beanie like her own. I have been a repeat client for the last 5 years and Sharon has been great with communication and reliability. Thank you for watching over Beanie. She loves you SO MUCH!”
About: I’ve always taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I begged my mom to get me a dog around that time as well. I promised her I would take care of the dog and do all I needed to do. With that being said I became a pet owner and trained my dog all by myself . From the simple commands, and crate training. I love to treat my current dog(Chloe) like a baby. From cuddles, long walks, nice tasty treats and all the love I can possibly give her. Sometimes I do travel and when I do its hard to find someone to keep Chloe. I realized I can’t be the only one who has experienced this . I am new to the app. I am ready to spread the love in my area. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Can’t wait to meet you ! I do work full tine Monday-Friday. I have a Hybrid schedule. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays . I am open on weekends ! I have a spacious apartment. We also have dog parks in my complex. Lastly my favorite a few different trails/ lakes that I love to walk currently.
“Darren is a pleasure. He took great care of my two Yorkies. He also provided photos with communication during my week away. I definitely recommend and will re-book with him in the future.”
“Crystal was absolutely fantastic! From the start, she did a thorough meet and greet and was incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. I felt completely at ease trusting her with my senior dog. Throughout the stay, she sent frequent updates with pictures and detailed descriptions, which I really appreciated. My dog looked so happy, especially getting to socialize with other dogs. I would highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Merritt had a great time staying with Jessica and Max. Jessica set me photos throughout the stay, which provided confirmation that he had settled in quickly and was having a great time. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”
“We have a high anxiety dog and Inka is great about dealing with all her eccentricities. She keeps us informed and shares lots of photos and videos. We definitely feel like our pup is treated like a member of Inka's family. That's why we drive over 30 min each way for Inka to dog sit for us!”
“Paola took great care of my dog and sent me lots of pictures and updates and was extremely flexible when my flights were delayed with the timing of picking my dog up. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Excellent job! I am very pleased with the way Isabelle took time to play with my cat. Last time I went away she was so anxious and stressed when I came home because that sitter just went in and out. But this time, my cat was happy to see me and there were no accidents! I will definitely use Isabelle in the future!”
“Madeline was great. Toes came out immediately which was a great relief because he has been very stand offish with other providers. She sent some great pictures of him playing and he got a lot of love. We highly recommend Madeline and will use her again.”
“Elizabeth was great! She was very flexible when my very healthy and active cat on no medications got sick the week before I was scheduled for vacation and needed to have restricted activity and finish up his medication during her drop in visits the following week. Elizabeth was a pro at getting him to take the medications I struggled with administering and my friendly cat looked like he loved her company in the pics she sent. In addition, since my AC broke down unexpectedly the week prior to vacation she was able to check in to make sure my temporary AC unit was still working properly during her drop in visits. When I returned home, I'm pretty sure my cat was confused as to why I was back and not Elizabeth :)”
“Delany is responsible, attentive, and communicative. She cared for our two cats for an entire week, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She was also patient and thoughtful when an urgent issue came up and we couldn’t be reached right away. We truly appreciate her and would absolutely recommend her.”

Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or playtime, I am committed to offering a loving and attentive service that gives pet owners peace of mind while they are away.
“Denise is magical. We have a cat who is very reactive to strangers and dislikes changes in routine. We weren’t sure we’d be able to go on a family vacation and leave her at home in someone else’s care. But our difficult cat warmed up to Denise immediately, and they did fine the entire time we were gone. We loved the daily photos, assuring us that all was well. Would hire Denise again in an instant.”
“Rylinn is enthusiastic, knowledgable, and a clear communicator. I appreciate her prompt arrival and positive attitude during our initial meet-up on very short notice. Thanks! Looking forward to booking you again in the future :)”
About: I’ve had cats since I was young. I have experience with indoor cats for over 25 years. My kitty Layla was with me for almost 15 years before unfortunately passing. I had experience with her having kittens and taking care of kittens as well.

I have experience caring for cats and walking dogs, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and well cared for while they're away.

About: I’ve cared for a cat before and understand the basics of keeping cats happy and comfortable. I know that every cat has a different personality, some enjoy attention while others prefer their own space and I’m happy to respect their routine and comfort level. I’m comfortable feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning the litter box, and making sure they have a clean, safe environment. I’ll also keep an eye on their behavior and let owners know if I notice anything unusual. While my experience with cats isn’t as extensive as my experience with dogs, I’m reliable, patient, and committed to following each owner’s care instructions to make sure their cat feels safe and well cared for.
“Vatia was great with Cindy! I could tell Cindy was getting plenty of love and snuggles while we were out of town. She also communicated proactively and came out to meet us and Cindy before we left town to ensure we all felt comfortable.”
About: I have taken care of cats for more than half my life! I am a serial cat lover and taking care of them comes very naturally to me! Throughout the years, my friends and family have heavily relied on me to take care of their cats when they are not around.

“Erin was an amazing pet sitter. Two of our kitties loved her, and she got eyes (and pictures!) of our third baby, who is anxious and loves to hide. She made sure to check our girl’s breathing, since she has asthma and was able to reassure that she was doing well. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was taking care of our kitty crew. We would definitely book her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We were very happy with the care Lauren gave to our 3 cats. Loved getting the pictures each day. We will certainly request Lauren again.”

“Will definitely use Sharon again. Rex had a good time. She sent pics of Rex chilling and playing and having a good time and she was very accommodating of my schedule. I'm grateful for her ?”
About: I have been raised around dogs all my life. My dad bred bigger dogs like cane corsos & i breed french bulldogs. The love for animals, especially pups, should be unconditional, just as theirs is to us!! I train pups as well, notably walking my pup around without a leash when in safe environments. I love any pet that comes into my care! I am self employed as well as an experienced dog breeder. I love pets, cherrish them, & treat them like my children! I spend all day with my pup & take her everywhere. I am self employed from home. I have different arrangements for client preferences including food options, crate options being a cage or a flexi kennel, and a gated area to safely allow the pups to enjoy being pups!
“Bria was amazing with my 2 fur babies - one small and one giant. She was extremely accommodating to all my needs and went above and beyond what I expected. I have never had someone be so gracious about last-minute changes and my dogs absolutely loved her! I am so happy that I found Bria to help with my doggies!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 9 years. My own dogs, friends and family. It is an honor to be trusted with anyone’s babies. Due to my flexible schedule I am able to provide 24hr care and your dog will never be alone. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your dogs different needs. I will be able to adjust my schedule around the needs of your dog. I have a fenced yard and two pets. They are male Shih Tzu ages 9 and 4. There will be two people watching and taking care of your dogs. Myself and my sister. We do offer meet and greets.
About: I’m a retired Army officer and lifelong animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and I truly believe pets are family. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, and stress‑free experience while you’re away. 🐾 What I Offer Personalized care for dogs and cats of all ages. A calm, structured, and affectionate environment. Daily updates, photos, and communication you can count on. Flexible scheduling (advance notice appreciated) but can arrange last minute pet care if available. Complimentary bath for dogs staying 7+ days. 🏡 My Home & Experience I currently live with two rescue dogs I adopted while living in Africa, along with Swiss — my daughter's energetic, one‑eyed rescue cat who visits regularly. They’ve taught me patience, intuition, and how to understand different personalities and needs. My experience comes from decades of hands‑on care rather than formal training. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, comfort level, and quirks so they feel completely at home. ❤️ Why Pets Love Staying With Me I treat every animal like my own — with attention, affection, and respect. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or laid‑back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member. I'm currently retired and my schedule is flexible. Specific pet routines can be added to the care I will provide and ensuring pets can have a mirrored schedule of what they owner provides them daily. I have a fenced yard that has been pet-proof in order to have a safe pet environment. I take time to individually introduce my pets to others, making it a non-stressful experience.
“Cosmic loves coming to Cal and Kelly’s! Cal and his family treat her like their own and I always know she’s safe and well taken care of! She always comes home tired after playing with her friends all day.”
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.
“Lakshme was awesome! Rhea had an amazing experience. We couldn't have the regular meet & Greet, her and I sat and chatted. Till rhea was comfortable. In that little time Lakshme convinced me she was going to do a fanatic job. From the 10 to 15 minutes spent with her, you can see her love for animals and her experience for caring for them. I will be using Lakshme every time.”
“Gabby accepted my last minute request for assistance when my regular sitter was unable to watch my dog while I worked. She took good care of Zoey and did a great job with communicating via the app on Zoey’s progress. I will definitely use Gabby again when my sitter is unable to assist.”
About: I am very active and like to walk 3 or so miles everyday, leave your dog with me and they will make sure to get good exercise! I work from home and have great deal of flexibility! I can change my schedule quickly to meet the needs of the day or the dog! I like to make sure they are well fed and well exercised while having a quite spot for themselves if they like or an ability to be right next to me the entire day.
“They are awesome! My pup feels so at home with them. She is excited when she arrives and still excited when she leaves. She's with other pups when she is there and it has done wonders for her socialization, as well as helping her sleep through the night. Jody and Rodney are the best. I feel happy knowing my puppy is happy, safe and in a loving environment while my husband and I are at work.”
About: I provide reliable, attentive, and personalized dog care in my home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a quieter environment and extra attention. I follow each dog’s routine closely and take the time to learn their individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide a calm, structured, and safe environment where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I carefully manage introductions, monitor interactions, and prioritize safety at all times. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication during your dog’s stay so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge in the yard, go for walks, or simply relax indoors, I’ll do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care so their feeding, walks, rest, and play follow familiar routines. This allows me to be fully present, responsive, and attentive throughout the day and evening. I provide a calm, safe, and structured home environment where dogs are closely supervised at all times. My home has a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and dogs are never left unattended outside. I keep care intentionally small-scale so each dog receives individualized attention. I’m comfortable with crating when needed, following detailed instructions, and accommodating special routines or medications. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with pet parents are always top priorities, and I provide regular photo and message updates for peace of mind
About: Hi there! My name is Jacqueline and I have spent the past 13 years loving on my own 2 dogs Oliver & Annie until they crossed the rainbow bridge. Before that, I dogsat for friends and professors while I was in grad school. Before my 4-year-old daughter & I are ready to welcome another four-legged family member into our hearts and home, I’m happy to pour that doggie love into your pup while you work or travel! We’re both excited to take this step, and I will always be supervising if she is being a helper :) She is, however, afraid of dogs she thinks look like “wolves” (e.g., shepherds, huskies, etc.) and we’re only able to take dogs up to 50-60lbs at this time. I currently work from home most of the week. At most, I’m in the office for up to 3 hours a couple mornings per month. That means I have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pup. I can take your dog on walks throughout the day and there’s a fenced dog park my neighborhood where we can play fetch off-leash!

“Stellar communication and super adaptable to my changing plans. I appreciated his focus on safety for my pup by initiating a meet and greet and being contentious of the heat index with my senior dog’s capabilities.”
About: I have been caring for my own pets for 10+ years and could like to get into formal care. I have also pet sat for my friends and family in the past. As of now I am available daily for pet sitting or walking. I don’t mind waking up early. Would prefer not to be out too late alone. I like to hang out with my dog and take him for walks. He’s pretty lazy though so we just sit together a lot of the time. I will follow any instructions you leave.
“Madeline has been an awesome dog walker. She shows up on time and my German shepherd absolutely loves her ! I hope to always be able to book with Madeline in the future.”
“Wouldn’t change a thing. She takes EXCELLENT care of my pets and they each have their individual needs (aka aren’t the easiest pups). My dog barks at anyone else she has to go on a walk with when they come to the door. However, she literally runs out to greet Izzie, and wants to stay with her.”
About: Growing up, I would walk dogs for my neighbors and family members, which gave me experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so dog walking is something I have grown to enjoy. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn off energy, I'm committed to providing a safe, fun, and engaging experience while giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in caring hands. I wake up at 5:30am daily to go to the gym, then am free until I go to work in the mid afternoon. I am able to go on walks during the first part of the day I absolutely love every animal that I encounter. I will treat them as if they were my own family member. I also will be observant of any notes you may give me to ensure I am doing what you are paying for.
“Ms. Kat is a fantastic dog walker. Takes such good care of my Winston everyday and takes the best pictures of him. She is also very nice! We are lucky to have her help!”
About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with over 25 years of caregiving experience. I have had dogs almost continuously since kindergarten ranging in size from a 5 lb poodle mix (Trooper) to a 95 lb yellow lab (Nala), in addition to 3 years as a parent to 2 cats, Jules and Gemini. Jules was with us only briefly due to her advanced age when she was adopted, while Gemini is a much younger kitten who wasted no time claiming my home as her own. I also recently lost my 10 year old corgi (Sadie) unexpectedly to an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and so would love the opportunity to spend some therapeutic time with your furry kid. Prior to beginning work through Rover, I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs for a variety of friends, family, and neighbors including everything from drop-in visits and dog walking to full-time house/petsitting. Outside of my petsitting duties, I am a PhD chemist working hard to make the battery in your phone last longer and your electric car drive further. My wife and I moved to the Silver Spring area in 2024 for her job as a television producer and I am in the process of establishing myself in the DMV research community. Availability: Except in special cases, I am available for booking at any time of day, any day of the week. I am happy to provide everything from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays. I am currently working part-time from home, so I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets at any time! This can include drop-in visits to your home, overnight stays with your fur baby, and day-care or boarding at my home (as long as they're friendly with my cat Gemini). I am glad to visit your home as frequently as you prefer. All visits will include checks for water quantity and freshness, any prescribed food refills or walks, and of course play time. I'm also happy to provide overnight care for your pets and home if preferred, please send me a message if you are interested in more long-term visits. I'm also very happy to host your pets in my own home! I have plenty of room for cats and dogs up to 50-70 lbs. Both my wife and I have had pets our entire lives and between the two of us, someone is nearly always home to supervise and provide any needed care. Since I live in an apartment complex, I do not have a private yard but do have plenty of communal space for walks and other outdoor activity.
“Sarah is amazing! Cooper can be iffy with new people and by the 2nd walk he didn’t even bark when she came in and was just excited to see her :) she took so many pictures to share and he was very happy in every one. Will absolutely book her again”
“Linda has been walking our 1 year old puppy for a few months now and we couldn't be happier so far. After having a really bad experience with a walker on this app, we were nervous to let someone back in. She is personable, kind, and easygoing. Very responsive and agreeable even when I mess up my own schedule. We were worried our puppy would be too much but she has big dogs and does a good job of handling his energy positively.”
“Vatia has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is consistently communicative, reliable, and responsive, which gives me so much peace of mind when I have to be away from my dogs for an extended period of time. I appreciate her genuine care for my dogs, and I always feel confident knowing my dogs are in good hands with her. I highly recommend Vatia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter.”
“Thank you Tristen for taking such good care of Maggie. Tristen made an extra trip to pick up house keys and arrived as scheduled to walk Maggie. I received a confirmation upon completion of the walk so I did not have to worry. Thank you again Tristen.”
“Majdoline has been a huge help to me caring for my dog while away at work. She has been dependable, punctual, and professional. I will continue to use her services for as long as she is available!”
“Can't Thank Brianna enough for her great care and dog walks my pup received when I was away. I felt so comfortable and confident knowing Brianna could handle my Pepper. We are both very grateful. Thank You 🐕🦺”

I’ve always been an animal lover so many of my neighbors counted on me to take care of their fur babies! Within this years worth experience, I have learned to work with different species of dogs & cats! I am able to work with cats and dogs of different personalities, traits, needs, etc! Neighbors have relied and trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, spend time and show loving to their beloved pets! I’m currently a part time collage student but I still have a lot of time to play, care for and show so much love to your fur babies! I am available Monday, Wednesday, Thursdays, Friday, and Sunday after 12:30 pm!🧡 In my clients home, I always ensure the pets safety! I make sure to check surrounding and keep things out of reach that could harm the animal!

About: Dogs have been in our lives since childhood, and as pup parents ourselves, we understand how hard it can be to find a trusting person to leave your pup with in your times of need. As previous owners of an energetic dog [Cesar], and a foster dog [Argo], we are prepared for the active lifestyle required to care for some dogs. Similarly, we have experience with more relaxed dogs that just enjoy being pet and pampered. We currently serve as pet sitters for our friends who need dog sitting from time to time. I am open to communicating with you as much or as little as you'd like while your pet is with us. Don't worry, I'm that Dog Mom that Facetime's her pup so there's no shame! Currently working from home two days a week, I’d love to have a furry co-worker join me! My work is primarily centered around hosting meetings, and I’m probably the only person on camera without a pet! I have an open home with easy access to the backyard or front of the house for potty breaks. I can crate your dog if requested or let them roam around my baby-proofed home! There are gates and locks EVERYWHERE!

“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”
“Bria did a great job caring for our Maddie for 6 days. She was kind, responsive to my texts, and sent texts/pics every day to let us know how she was doing. I appreciated that Maddie had lots of playtime with other dogs and will definitely use Bria again. She made us feel that Maddie was being well cared for and loved.”
“Julijai’s family stepped in on short notice and went above and beyond — so attentive, caring, and genuinely loving with Penny. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away. Thank you !!!”
“Cal and Kelly went above and beyond in taking care of my dog while I was away. From the very beginning, they made me feel completely at ease with their warm communication and attention to detail. They sent daily updates, along with the most amazing videos and pictures that truly captured my dog’s happiness and comfort. I could tell they genuinely cared about her well-being and treated her like their own. Their dogs were very friendly and loving. Their dedication and love for animals are clear, and I’m so grateful for the exceptional care they provided. I would 100% recommend Cal and Kelly to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitters. They’re simply the best!”
“Annette was amazing… She communicated regularly with me throughout Charlie’s stay.. She asked lots of questions to assure she was taking care of him as I wanted her too and because she has so much experience with dogs she was able to teach him son obedience skills and share that with me so I could practice as well.. I will definitely be using her service again!!!!!”
“Robert and Pam were awesome. We met them and their husky Shiloh and got a gods feeling. We booked an overnight test run and things went great. Sam got a lot of playtime outside and moped all the way home after we picked him up. He was treated like one of the family and is looking forward to returning.”
About: I’m a recent college graduate with 10 years of pet care experience and a genuine love for animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles. I have the most experience caring for large breed dogs such as Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and Labradoodle mixes, and I’m confident handling strong, high-energy pets. I also enjoy caring for small dogs and cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. My schedule is flexible, I’m able to now dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I enjoy keeping animals active, engaged, and comfortable throughout the day with walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. As a recent college graduate, I’m able to provide dependable care and make sure your pet gets the attention and exercise they need while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I prefer creating a calm, loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and part of the family. I don’t like keeping animals caged unless it’s necessary or part of their normal routine, and I always respect each pet’s individual needs and personality. I make time for exercise, play, and affection so pets can burn energy, stay happy, and feel secure while in my care.
“Darren is a pleasure. He took great care of my two Yorkies. He also provided photos with communication during my week away. I definitely recommend and will re-book with him in the future.”
“Excellent services again. They took amazing care of my pups and made me feel comfortable with tons of photos and videos while we were away. I knew my pups were in great hands. I will definitely be working with Maria and Fernando again.”
“My dogs love going to Victor’s house! I can see the happiness on their faces in the pics that he sends. Victor is highly professional and responsive. We don’t have to think twice about their safety or comfort.”
“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!”
“This is our first time with Rover and we could not have found a better person/family for our beloved recent rescue to stay with for a few days. We know our rescue needs lots of love and patience and we are so grateful that Theresa understands that and in addition only takes one client at a time. This was perfect as we saw how much of a difference it makes for our dog vs being at a doggie daycare center. She provides updates and pictures to ease our minds and always on top of communication. We are so grateful! And will be repeat customers.”
“Masha and her family took the best care of Hoagie!! They handled all of her quirks and needs, and gave her such a fun long weekend of hikes and snuggles. We would highly recommend them, and hope they’ll watch hoagie again soon’! Thank you so much, Masha!!”
“Theresa was amazing with the dogs!! She send me everyday updates and pic!! And when I pick them up they were exhausted cause they played all day long!! I will def going to leave my dogs with her again!”
“10/10 recommend! My dog, who typically struggles at boarding facilities, had an amazing experience. Incredibly attentive, responsive, provided daily updates, and daily walks, easing any vacation worries. They followed instructions meticulously and created a second home environment for my dog. I was completely stress-free knowing my dog was in such caring hands. I could also tell that my dog was also not stressed as she was displaying normal behaviors in the updates I received. A five-star experience all around and will definitely be booking in the future!”
“Kiki is the best! She is flexible, responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind. Finley clearly had a great time with her and Skittles, and I really appreciated the regular updates- it made me feel like he was safe, happy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend!”
