“Blue had a great time with Dale and his dogs. His communication with us was great from the start, sending updates everyday of his stay. Made us feel comfortable from the first meet and greet. Will be booking with him again!”
“Wow, Marissa is the best. We got photos frequently and reports of how our furry friend was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with our crazy work schedules. Best sitter ever!”
“This was Pac's first time with a sitter that wasn't a family member or a friend. I am extremely pleased with the care that was given to my fur baby. Would absolutely use their services again and recommend that you do the same 😊”
“Molly was wonderful!! She was communicative (I loved the daily updates with photos) and did so much to keep our dog busy and exercised. She came home extra tired and extra happy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jenna is amazing! She was ultra responsive when it came to booking and she made it super easy. The boys absolutely loved her and had a great time. They came home all tuckered out. We can’t wait to see her again!”
“David was great! He treated my dog like he was family. I had absolute faith that my dog was right at home and all his needs were being met. I knew that I could leave my dog, with high needs and a big personality, in his care and he’d be in great hands. He sent updates & photos as well. Highly recommend!!”
“I would definitely recommend Melvin and Sean! This was our first time leaving our baby Charlie. As someone who deals with anxiety it wasn't an easy thing for me to do. However they made me feel completely at ease and assured me that he was safe and well taken care of. The photo updates they sent throughout the stay helped so much and truly gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they provided! We will definitely use them again.”
“Jenn and her son took amazing care of my doggo! She really loves animals and was very easy to communicate with. My dog got lots and lots of play time and I got some very nice photos while I was away. Would highly reccomend Jenn. ???”
“Christina was great with our dog Asher! She was great at communicating and sent pictures of him to us while we were on vacation and showed us how he was loving spending time with their dog. They even sent us home with a new dog toy for Asher and he loves it. Thanks for helping us out! We will definitely request to book with them again.”
“Toby, my dearest little 8lb. Cheweenie fur baby does wonderfully with Pam and her small fur baby crew! I am so grateful to have Pam and her fur family to care for Toby. He has a blast. Pam always goes above and beyond for Toby. Moreso, Pam is very intuitive and provides for Toby his likes and preferences such as his favorite sunspot, placed bed in front of heater vent, food preferences. Huge she let's him sleep with her at night as that is what he is used to with me. Upon picking Toby up, although he is always happy to see me I can very much see he has bonded with Pam and her sweet pups and cats, making his stay very nice and positive experience. Pam and her fur babies have become like extended family as Auntie Pam and his fur cousins ❤️”
“Ruth was fabulous. My little 7lb Maggie was a new rescue that I only had for 2 months. She was so scared of EVERYTHING. Ruth has a nice small and quiet home. She was able to give my little doggie the individual and personal attention she really needed. I felt completely confident that Maggie would be cared for very well. We even received pictures and updates regularly while we were away. I'll definitely be calling Ruth, if we go out of town again.”
“Christine and her crew were incredible and did a great job. Thor came home exhausted and without any bad habits (begging from the table, attempting to get on furniture, etc). Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.”
“Dan and his wife are absolutely amazing! Our doggy always has an incredible time with them. They send photos and videos of your pup so you don’t miss them too much when you’re away. 1,000% recommend!”
“Evvia was AMAZING!!! We were first timers when it comes to leaving our pup with someone and she sent us tons of pictures, made Oakley feel at home, communicated often. Oakley came home with a cute new Christmas handkerchief (and some cute Christmas photos to go with), a toy, and was spoiled with some homegrown eggs on his meals (after she asked our permission of course!) We will never use a different sitter again if we don’t have to!❤️ thank you Evvia!!”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
“We do so appreciate O’Hara being able to take our booking last minute. She kept us informed every day. Tissot took to her right away and seemed to really enjoy his time there. She gave him lots of love and attention for the several days he boarded. And he and her dogs got along great!”

“We feel entirely confident in leaving our sweet cats with Sara. We know that she will feed, water, scoop, love, cuddle, and watch for any issues--all with an expert eye. She learns their habits and likes; we know that she will be there for every single scheduled visit. She goes above and beyond in so many ways. Our shy girl even comes out to be petted. Thanks, Sara!”
“Megan was so wonderful! My usually timid cats warmed up to her from day one, that speaks volumes to her character!! Sent pictures and even helped clean up some mess the cats made, not expected but extra appreciated!”
“We always come back to Maelee! Our cats insist. They are so spoiled and relaxed when we get back. It’s as if we never left. It’s not easy to do medication and quality time. I can really relax knowing everything is taken care of.”
“Beth was so great and our cat Gus loved her! She provided us with adorable photos of the two of them and we can tell he was so happy to have her there. This was an awesome first experience with Rover and we will be recommending Beth to all of our friends and using her for future visits. :)”
“Since this was my first time using Rover, I was nervous about choosing the right person to watch my animals when I was out of town for a long weekend. Kate exceeded my expectations and took fantastic care of my two kitties. She was prompt and responsive during planning, even working with me to change dates at the last minute. Both cats were almost immediately comfortable with her, which put my mind at ease. On time and without fail, she fed, watered, and played with them, always sending updates and tons of pictures. The photos she took were much better than anything I’ve ever been able to produce, and I’ll be using many of them in the future! Even though I assured her it was optional for the short trip, she emptied their litter boxes while I was away. I will absolutely be booking Kate as my first choice for future trips. Thanks again Kate!”
“We love having Jaqelynn here. This was the second time we've asked here to take care of our aging kitty. Jaqelynn does such a great job attending to our cat's special needs. We will definitely hire her again!!”
“Kaitlin is incredibly proactive, communicative, and responsible! She watched our two cats over a weekend and sent us lots of cute photos and detailed updates. We were super impressed with her and she made us feel so secure about leaving for the weekend. I trust her completely and would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
“Ty stayed at our house for 10 nights and watched our 2 cats. He was absolutely amazing! I could tell he spent a lot of time with them because he knew so many of their likes and dislikes. He sent me pics every day and was always willing to share stories when I was missing them. He was very respectful of our home and kept things tidy! We will definitely be using him whenever we go away in the future!”
“Morgan is awesome! Took great care of our cat while we were away and kept us updated and kept our mind at ease that he was taken care of. Great communicator & super kind human!”
“I was gone for a week and had Brian come by daily to look after my cat. She gets stressed when I’m gone and isn’t very friendly to new people. I was really happy that Brian was understanding about this. He took great care of my cat and nothing was overlooked. He was reliable and great with communication. I’d hire him again for sure.”
“First time using River and got so lucky with Melissa. We booked kinda last minute but she was super flexible and came over to meet our cats the next day. She recognized my older cat wasn’t eating much and made sure to put food out to ensure she got nutrition. She was super sweet and I know our kitties got plenty of interaction and play time. It gave us such peace of mind to know Melissa was watching our girls. If we need a sitter in the future, I would definitely reach out to her.”
“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 :)”
“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”
“Sophie was great! Highly recommend. She cared for my dog and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands. Next time I need to go out of town I will definitely request her to drop in on my dog.”
About: I've taken care of my dog and family and friends dogs for many years. I even volunteered in an animal shelter for awhile as well! I currently run a small handmade business from my space. I do work a part-time service job a couple days of the week in a restaurant right now as well. Aside from dog sitting that's what I do financially. I spend a lot of time outdoors with my own dog, we like to run, play fetch, chase squirrels, and spend time treat training. I make sure a walk and quality time are prioritys with animals. I do not take dogs into my living space as I live with friends currently and on the road at times, so I prefer to go to your home and location. I'm very flexible! :)

“This was our first time leaving our dog (Fitz) with anyone, so wasn't sure how it was going to go. Joshua made us feel very comfortable. He took great care of Fitz and updated us throughout the day!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Dale and how he cares for Cashew! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for an awesome and reliable person to care for their loved ones!”
“First time here and Cub seemed to have really enjoyed himself. He clearly played a lot with the other dogs as he was spent when we got home! I’ll for sure be bringing him back again :)”
“Great experience so far with Jacy. Our usual sitter was unavailable for boarding for the weekend we needed so we went looking for someone else. I'm always on the fence with new pet sitters as we had a terrible experience previously with someone else on Rover. Jacy put me at ease the moment we walked through her door for our meet and greet. I could tell immediately she truly cares for animals and it isn't just about making extra income. She uses an intake form to get all of the necessary details she needs to provide the best care for your pets. My Aussie is very anxious so she suggested doing a daycare day just so she could sniff around and get familiar with her home and the other animals there before she stays for the weekend. She had a great day! Jacy provided updates and pictures through out the day and it was clear Luna was having a great time. I'm sure her weekend stay will go great and we're so happy to have found Jacy!”
“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well. I work full-time but I make my own schedule. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks. I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.
“Melissa was absolutely awesome taking care of our dog, Finn! She’s so friendly and Finn felt comfortable with her right away. I felt good leaving him in her hands. I definitely recommend her if you need some doggie daycare!”
“Miller had a great day with Daniel. This was his first time being away from us and when I picked him up he seemed very calm and happy. Daniel kept me updated during the day with pictures of my happy boy which I really appreciated. Excellent, timely communication as well.”
“Jenn did a wonderful job caring for our anxious dog Isaac! I appreciate that she did a meet and greet with us at a local dog park before Isaac's stay, it really help put our minds at ease. Isaac liked Jen immediately and seemed happy to arrive back on his second day of daycare. We plan to continue to use Jen in the future!”
About: I've had one or more dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I currently have a senior red heeler that I rescued 8 years ago. Not only have I grown up taking care of my own dogs, as an adult I dog sit quite regularly for friends. I do work from home, which affords me the opportunity to take breaks to interact with and toilet my heeler and any other dog we have visiting, on their schedules. I work from home, so Monday thru Friday, I rarely leave my home, except to take the dog for walks. I may go away in the evenings, during the week, for a couple hours, but that's rare. I do tend to be more active on the weekends, doing my grocery shopping and running other errands, as well church on Sundays, and an occasional brunch. I do have a fenced in back yard as well as a senior red heeler (as stated earlier). My heeler doesn't really pay much attention to other dogs, and seems to prefer the company of humans. That being said, he gets along great with other dogs.
“Ki was flexible with my work schedule needs and was very communicative in sending pictures and updates of Benji. She brought him on plenty of walks too. Her excitement to meet Benji reassured me that he was in good hands.”
About: I am a retired Special Education Teacher. Your pet will get spoiled in my home or yours! I am a compassionate, caring person. I have been providing care for dogs for 4 years. I have plenty of references to back up any recommendation that you made need. My last pet was a puppy named Bella that I provided care for. I watch her 30 hours a week and helped potty train her. I loved her as if she was my own. I was Gramma Lisa to her and we formed a special bond which I do with all the pets I watch. I have had dogs in my life since I was young. I tell my friends that I will know I am heaven when I see my past dogs around me.
“Great experience. She was flexible with our arrival and departure times, as we were running behind for both. Dog seemed quite happy when we picked her up. Would absolutely use Sarah's service again. Thank you.”
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.
“Chris and Vashti are great! They’re almost always available, even when I need daycare last minute. They share constant updates throughout the day. I get photos and messages showing Cinder Block having the best time, which makes it so much easier to leave him knowing he’s in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, not just going through the motions. Cinder comes home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for every single time. Couldn’t recommend them more.”

“Kate has been walking our dog for a couple months now and I don’t know what we would do without her. The dogs love her and we have loved her great communication and flexibility. I would highly recommend her for any walking or sitting needs you may have.”
“Katie has been absolutely incredible with my dog Ding. I come home from long days at work and can tell that he’s been cared for, stimulated and nurtured. Katie has very communicative and asked question when necessary…it’s truly been so easy trusting her with my favorite friend. We really appreciate you Katie! Thanks :)”
“Jasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!”
About: I am older and very experienced with both cats and dogs from babies to senior care to transitioning. I care for extended family pets when not home I work a part time flexible schedule so my availability is your convenience. My only day off is Sunday which I set aside for family My pets are my family. I volunteer feeding and caring for family/friends pets when they are away from home over night or away on vacation
“Thank you! Lillie was able to come by with very little notice and arrived right on time. She was easy to communicate with and very patient with Squidward, who is shy and nervous around new people. They went for a walk, and when the heat became too much for him, she appropriately brought him back early. I had a good first experience and will likely book with her again so Squidward can continue getting comfortable with her.”
About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house
“This was my first time having Colene come to visit and walk my sweet girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She had excellent communication and showed my little Lula some love and attention while I had to be away for the day. Will be using again!!”
About: Hi! My name is Mouse and I love pets! I've been taking care of friends and families pets for about three years and working for rover for almost a year. I am currently in Vermont for the summer working for the Weston Theater Company and would love to watch some pets in my free time. I work around my class schedule, that is different day today. I'm able to watch or check in on pets throughout the day and night, and all weekends. I'm in school for theater so sometimes I do go through tech weeks that let me out very late at night, but when that happens, I'm still willing to check in on any pets! I believe in making sure your pets are fully safe and loved while you are away! I have no problem asking about what exactly is the regular routine of your pet to make sure they are the safest and most comfortable they can be without you.
“Our dog Finley had an unfortunate accident before madi got to our apartment for their walk. Not only did she clean it up for us but she went out of her way to mop the floor and take our trash out afterwards! 100% recommend Madi to anyone. She goes above and beyond for the pets she looks after!”
“My old pup can be anxious and ramped up with care givers so I am delighted that he was calm with Tyler. I will definitely have Tyler take care of my fur babe again knowing I can depend on him and will not be stressed while on vacation.”
“Leah is great. She was able to accommodate a short notice walk for my pup Juice. Juice seemed to really enjoy the walk and was fast asleep within two minutes of getting home.”
About: In my 16 years of watching dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of being the exclusive dogsitter for 8+ families across northeast Indiana, Indianapolis and Grand Rapids. I’ve worked with families of multiple dogs, experienced hands-on training from certified dog trainers, and families with more than dogs. All-in-all, I’ve come to know and experience many routines for many breeds and have provided excellent care for all of them. I'm newly self-employed after 3 years of working remotely! Looking to both apply my whole self to this marketing agency founder life while being able to pay my bills. I can work remotely from anywhere with wifi, a spot to sit, perhaps a good cup of coffee, and any fur babes by my side. And like pets, I need my exercise, too. With 16 years of experience, I've definitely encountered many furry faces with many unique features. And I can handle the cats with claws and the big dogs with lots of bark and no bite. It's been observed by my closest friends, family, and perfect strangers that I bring a calming aura to their personal spaces. I'd care for your pets, and your home, as I care for my own: sticking to routines, prioritizing their health and safety, getting them active, all while maintaining a clean home.
“I am a very over protective doggie mom. I met Claire and instantly liked her and so did my Daisy. She helped us out for a few days and I cannot tell you how pleased and grateful I am for hiring her. She is wonderful with dogs (and mine is strong and a bit wild). My dog LOVES her! I cannot recommend Claire enough! I wish this offered more than 5 stars!”
“Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?”
“Rebecca was so amazing and it was so nice having such detailed info about the walks and how Jackson was doing with pictures! We booked last minute and Rebecca was such a life saver! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: I've raised and cared for my baby dog Lola also known as lolanaptimepartygirl since I was 10, pets have always played a very important role in my life. I love animals of all kinds and ages having 4 senior dogs of my own. I believe all animals deserve love and respect as they are not only friends but family, and it is truly an honor to get to exist in a world where we are able to connect with and care for such beautiful kind creatures. I work a part time job that's pretty flexible so I'm relatively available whenever. My schedule changes weekly so just let me know what you need and I'll make it work! I understand that concern for your pets safety is the most important aspect of pet sitting. I want you to have peace of mind while trusting me with your pet. I am very attentive and cautious when it comes to pet care. And I make sure every box is checked when it comes to safety! If you have any concerns when leaving your pet let me know and I will make sure we figure out a way to solve them.

About: I remember being a kid and finding a stray kitten at the store wandering around the front door begging for food.. I petted it and it followed me back to the car. My Grandma had no choice but to bring it home with us and that is just part of my story. I had that cat for 20 years. My two boys who are 10 and 13 love animals as much as I do. We just lost our Newfoundland and we still have our Collie, 2 cats, a bearded dragon, and our monstrous fish in the aquarium. I've learned that each animal has different needs and I know a lot about how to care for them. I prioritize peace and safety in our home and I want to give each animal a fun experience while you are away. Your pet will be part of the family when they are visiting with us. Our Collie, Creed, is excited to host new friends! Summertime, I stay at home and take care of the kids. I'm home most of the time except for any family trips we might take. During the school year, I work during the week on school days at my son's school, and pick kids up after school, but I'm otherwise home. Home on the weekends. I'm available on weekends and home. During the week, I work at my son's school part time and am home after 3 pm. I have a fenced in yard and one dog that loves to play with new friends. I also have two cats that are friendly with dogs. Depending on your pets personality, l will be quiet and calm and gentle with them, and/or play and take them for walks. I'll make sure they're safe and well cared for while you're gone.
