Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.”

“Jenn was awesome! From the meet & greet to the weekend boarding. I was so nervous as it was our first time having to board our Aussiedoodle Jax. Jenn made sure to send us pictures & videos multiple times per day. It was such an added bonus to see our puppy just having the best time! She had toys & even took him swimming! I know Jax had a great time, he was wore out & sleeping as soon as we got home. She was really understanding & listening when I brought up his food allergies. I will continue using her for boarding & recommending her to our friends with dogs that may need it.”

She sent so many great pictures during their stay! The reassurance, that they were in great hands, was beyond measure. She is 2.5 hours from us, but if we go on a vacation - I’m taking them there!! I’m so grateful to have found her, I’m so grateful she took such care of my dogs.”
“We left our pug with Sherri and her family and were so happy we did! Sherri took exceptional care of our pet and we could tell that she was in such good hands. I highly recommend Sherri. She was exceedingly conscientious and caring and Junebug came back to us happy and healthy!!”

“Laura was an exceptional care taker of our older cat while we were away. She kept us updated regularly, sent the sweetest photos, and even checked on our property after we lost power during a storm. Knowing everything was taken care of gave us so much peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for her care and kindness.”
“Caroline did an exceptional job with our two cat bros. and protecting our house. The cats loved her and she sent wonderful photos to us. She was absolutely reliable. Our new refrigerator water line developed a leak. If she had not alerted us we would have incurred thousands of dollars of damage. Thank you Caroline!”
“We were so grateful to have Holly care for our cat! She is kind and compassionate and our cat absolutely loved her. She even arranged for a meet and greet with short notice and went above and beyond with playing, administering medication and spending time with him. We appreciate knowing that he is in such caring hands!”
About: I often joke that I like animals more than people and with that being said, I can promise that I will love on your furbaby as if they were my own. My Chihuahua-Jack Russell recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my house has been too quiet. This opportunity with Rover will bring some joy back to my life, hopefully with a side of snuggles. I’ve been watching cats & dogs since I was a pre-teen. I grew up in a house with 2 cats, as well. I work Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I am open to house-sitting at your residence if that is better for the animals. I'm available 24/7 for boarding at my house, as long as your pup is crate-trained and okay being home alone for 6-8 hours as I do work full time Monday-Friday. Same hours go for housesitting at the pet's home. I have lots of space to roam in the house. Couch and bed are free spaces. If your pet prefers to be crated at night, I am happy to do so. At your house, I am happy to follow all rules set in place.
About: I grew up with multiple cats in my family over the years - each with their own unique personalities. I have taken care of more cats than I can count. I love cuddling and playing with them. I have experience administering oral and subcutaneous medications.
“Kaitlyn was great to work with! She was easy to communicate with prior to the visits, and my two cats loved her! I enjoyed getting the fun pictures of them, and I could tell that they had fun hanging out with Kaitlyn. Would recommend!”
“Maia is amazing and took such great care of our Mo while we were on our trip. She communicates well, leaves detailed notes of each stay, and sends lots of pictures. I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better!”
“Took great care of my cat when I was gone for the weekend!!! Kept me updated on how he was doing and provided plenty of pictures to let me know he was doing well. Would absolutely book again!!”
“Maelee was wonderful with our timid kitty! She was kind and patient, making our cat feel comfortable with her. She did a wonderful meet and greet drop-in as well, and went the extra mile with keeping the litter and water fresh! Thank you Maelee!”
“Booking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl 🐱. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant. If you want someone that’ll take care of your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to book Kelsey & Forrest. I will definitely book them again in the future :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have a soft spot for them. I have a four year old very high energy, playful but docile GSP. I will walk, watch, feed and create a stimulating environment for them! I work from home and have flexibility during the week to help out. I am also open most weekends for dog sitting or boarding . I will make sure pets are handled with love and care and will treat them as if they were my own. This might mean lots of belly rubs, snuggles and treats. My home has a fenced backyard and many dog beds and toys. I am happy to stay with your dog at his or her home if that is most comfortable for them and if my schedule allows.
“Ivana is a punctual and a conscientious sitter and took great care of my dogs and my place. She takes her job seriously, was respectful to me and went above and beyond to care for my dogs. I will definitely use her services again. I am happy to have found her.”
About: I'd love to walk your dog and give them the love they deserve! I have experience pet sitting and walking, as well as riding and training horses growing up. I also love to run and would be happy to run with your dog if they need to get more energy out! Currently, evenings work best for me. Walks anytime after 5:30 should be fine on weekdays, and I am more flexible on weekends- I can often do walks in the afternoon as well. I am not able to provide pet day care right now. I would love to walk dogs, but can not take them into my home.
“Grace was GREAT! She was calm when first meeting our sometime very excited and loud boy, Rocky which was very appreciated. He took to her immediately! She is very sweet and very attentive to our fur baby. We loved that she took a picture of him for us daily.”
“Stephani did a great job checking in on and feeding our cats while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures of the kitties, and gave us peace of mind that they were being taken care of.”
About: Neighbors and clients have trusted me in their home to safely care for their cats & I have done just that. It’s a joy and an honor to be able to care for animals this way. It’s a natural dopamine booster for me, as well!

“Maggie was incredibly accommodating and patient with me and last minute request. My husky loved playing with her Luna, and I love the idea of her being in a home instead of a concrete kennel. I also liked that her sons gave my pets attention while they were there. 100% would recommend Maggie to anyone!”
“SHERRI IS AMAZING! She took my booking last minute and was SO attentive! She has a lovely dog Goro loved playing with and a fenced in yard but she also gave him walks which I thought was so amazing. 10/10 best Rovers experience I’ve had :)”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, currently have a rescue that is a Cur/Dalmatian mix. I fostered a German Shepherd and just found him his forever home! My previous pup was a pure bred red-nose pit! I work from home so am available for all needs! And yes, my dog does sleep on my bed! Lots of outdoor toys to tire them out! I have a fenced in yard and a “puppy pool” for those hot days! I live in a quiet neighborhood with an excellent dog walking route, even have a neighbor who put out dog treats in a mailbox for frequent walkers!
“Joshua is awesome with my puppy! His own dogs are great with other dogs and are very patient with my pup. He seems to do well with training too, all positive reinforcement. Very happy with him!”
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life. I believe they are more than pets, they are trusted friends. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own. I work primarily from home. I’m away only 10-15 hours per week. I’m very flexible and willing to work with you for the love and benefit of your pet. I live in my new built home. There is a lot of area outside where we can walk, but I’ll never leave a dog unattended. I have my kids (aged 16 & 18) part time. They may be around. My kids love dogs.
“Paige and Matthew were so so amazing to my boyfriend and i as well as our ollie! i seriously can’t say enough great things about them, we set up a meet and great which made me (a first time rover mom) feel so much better about seeing how he would interact there. they were SO flexible with pickup and drop off times as my boyfriend is a farmer and gets out of work at different times and whatnot. Paige was super responsive to my messages and sent pictures and videos often to keep me happy! ollie got training while he stayed with them and was less mouthy (puppy teething)! again i cannot say enough good things about them, they loved ollie like he was their own. we will most definitely be booking with them again to take care of our puppy! best rover sitters out there.”
About: We have been with dogs and other animals our whole life and love dogs. Our Shiba Inu, Sami, is our fourth baby. Your pet will get the attention and safety he/she needs and will be treated no different than our own. Our work hours are flexible and we prioritize our walks with our pet so it will be the same as others. Sami gets 2 walks and 3-4 bathroom breaks per day usually at least 1 of them is off leash at a dog park. We are not a dog boarder, your dog will be in a home and will know the difference. We treat your dog with the same care as ours and will follow your instructions as instructed. Typically, bathroom break between 3-4 hours and at least 3 times per day for each dog. WE REQUIRE ALL CLIENTS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF RABIES AND DHAP.

I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house
About: I am a Physician Assistant student at PCOM and am looking for some extra cash while paying my student loans. I love being around animals and enjoy playing with cats or taking dogs on walks! I am super outgoing and enjoy keeping myself busy during my breaks. During the summer months I have classes everyday, however they usually end at 1 in the afternoon! I have my schedule for the entire summer so know the days I am available in advance! I provide all my pets in my home with love and affection. I like to walk them on trails and feed them treats. I like to brush and wash dogs as well.

About: Hello! I've been a Registered Nurse for over 19 years in a variety of settings. I spent 10 years at the beside in hospitals, volunteered internationally, performed chronic care coordination, and abstracted data for research. I currently work remotely for a health tech company in New York City which allows me to work from anywhere in the United States. I love travel, hiking, yoga, water activities and eating! I've grown up surrounded by animals- my family had two dogs, two cats and two hamsters for many years. Every summer my extended family meets at my Grandparents' northern Michigan island cottage and we often have more dogs than people! I'm easy-going, responsible and will care for your property and pets as if they were my own. I also petsit on Trusted Housesitters while working remotely and exploring the country. I am more than happy to share the stellar reviews on that platform if you'd like to see more recent petsitting activity. I work remotely with a super flexible schedule and I love to break up time spent on my laptop with dog walks or pet playtime! I can easily care for your pets in their home environment where they are the most comfortable. This allows for the added bonus of keeping an eye on your home while you're away.
About: I have always had a dog in the home and have always been a big part of caring for them. I have volunteered at veterinary clinics since i was in 6th grade. I have assisted in surgery’s and births as well! I have two rescue dogs at home and one has spina bifida and is in diapers. It has been a joy to help them thrive in there unique way. I also have lots of experience in giving medicine if that’s something your pet may need! I also have chickens and a snake as well! I have lots of experiences with raising puppies as well as caring for dogs in there special se our years. I would love to care for your dog in anyway! weather it’s running in the backyard , going for walks or taking naps in the sun! I am hoping to have a job over the summer but am unsure of what’s days. I should be free most days and will be able to spend quality time with your dog! I will treat your pets just like my very own! I will provide snuggles, walks, play time and love, whatever you and your pet needs!
“Rebooking with Katie because she is the best! Our dog won’t often let us dry off her paws, and she was able to dry them after a rainy walk. Our dog already trusts her and that says a lot!”
About: I have dog sat for all sizes of dogs and even ones with special needs (blind and deaf). I love and care for them all! I get off early in the afternoon most days so can spend time playing with or walking your dogs, whatever is preferred or expected to be done! We have a fenced in dog park that I can take any dog to, there are no breed restrictions and I have a second bedroom if the dogs prefers their own space (can have a queen bed to themselves).
About: I have experience with dogs in different life stages, from puppies to seniors. When I was younger, I helped care for a retired lab guide dog through her senior years, which taught me the patience needed for older dogs. Later, I raised and successfully potty trained a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I taught basic commands like sit, catch, come, and stay. I also have experience doing drop in visits for neighbors and overnight pet sitting for family. Since I’m not currently working pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I have plenty of free time and am fully available Tuesday through Saturday from 6AM to 6PM. This allows me to be flexible, whether your dog needs early morning walks, all-day care, or midday check ins. Your pet will have my undivided attention during the day. Since I offer care in the client’s home, your dog gets to stay in their own comfortable environment. I prioritize safety by double checking that doors and gates are locked, keeping a close eye outside, and sticking to their usual routine.
“Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.”
About: I'm Amanda, a yoga instructor/interior designer and a full time animal lover! Growing up, I’ve always had dogs and cats (our family is full of nurturing individuals). I have babysat and taken care of relatives and friends animals throughout the years and have many repeating customers! I know that each animal needs a different type of care considering each one has a special characteristics that defines them. I make sure they use the bathroom or are taken out every two-three hours and walks are a must. I have a mini Australian Shepherd, Ezra, and a cat, Veda. I do this so I don’t end up with ten dogs in my household :) I currently work part time and also kind of make my own schedule, so I will have a ton of time to play with the pups and/or cats. Fed twice a day and let out four times a day to get the energy out! I also follow whatever instructions are given to me for each parents preference. Always keep an eye out and do what I’m paid to do …with a little more love
“What an amazing experience. Michael is the best dog walker Gideòn has ever had and that includes myself. Gideòn absolutely loves him. Michael is prompt and courteous. He's even moved some of my packages inside my door when he picked up Gideòn for his walk. He has made what would be a nervous experience for both parties into something enjoyable. Gideòn seems invigorated by their walks. I was hoping Michael's walks would make Gideòn tired but it has seemed to have the opposite effect. I'm unsure whether to reprimand Michael or just be excited Gideòn is enthused with the new friendship lol. Michael is a great guy, great walker, and truly a dog's best friend. I highly recommend him for anything and everything pooch related.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and have always wanted one of my own. However, because my family is allergic, I’ve had to live vicariously through friends. I’m not super experienced in some of the more niche aspects of pet ownership, but I certainly know how to walk, feed, play with, and pick up after dogs. I am currently a university student in the Middletown, CT area. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule (besides when I’m in class). I’m most available on weekends, but can accept the occasional walk on weekdays. I always try my best to cater to your pet’s needs. I stay attentive, ready to interpret their cues, and able to accommodate any of their needs.
About: I grew up with cats in my home and dogs at friends' houses. In 2022 I helped raise and train a yellow lab and have walked dogs for 8 years. I'm currently working mornings, getting off at 1 pm. I have the rest of the day to take care of pets by walking, brushing, playing, feeding, or whatever else you'd want. I can work days and weekends, overnight if desired. In the mornings I'd be up between 5 and 6 to walk, feed, and whatever else the pet needed then I'd head to work. Depending on the pet's schedule, I'd immediately head back to walk and feed again. I can be there overnight with the pet or just check in during the day if desired.
“Stephani is amazing! We just adopted our pup not too long ago and she is super shy, but she warmed up to Stephani right away! She’s patient, knowledgeable and caring, can’t ask for much more.”
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!
