“Max and Mariah took great care of our two 9 month old pups over an entire 4-day holiday weekend. These puppies are high energy and were allowed to play in their fenced in yard to their heart’s content and adjusted well to their already busy household. I will definitely check with them first if ever needing boarding again.”
“We have complete trust in Todd & Maureen for our somewhat hyper female lab mix. I think she enjoys being there with the other dogs they have and where she can run in their back yard and yet stay indoors as she is used to doing. And I am sure she loves the AC on these very hot days we have had recently. We appreciate the pics and updates while we are vacationing. Highly recommended.”
“This is the absolute best thing I could've stumbled upon for my little dog-child Rupert! He absolutely LOVES it there, gets to play with new friends, goes for walks, and even sleeps in the bed! I worry that one time he is not going to want to come home with me! Thank you Ed for keeping him so happy, and making me feel better about leaving him behind some days!!!”
“Matt was great to work with & took amazing care of our golden doodle. He has separation anxiety & seizures that are typically controlled with medication but in stressful situations he still will have them occasionally. He was obviously very comfortable at Matt’s & had zero issues.”
“Joni is amazing! The first time I met her she told me she likes the dogs to feel like they’re on vacation too. My dogs had a wonderful time. Everyday I received a picture and video showing me what the dogs were up to. That was especially nice. She managed to get one of my dogs into the pool. And of course she has life jackets for my little dogs. Would highly recommend her.”
“Martha did an absolutely wonderful job watching my dog Mac! This was my first time using her, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our initial meet and greet all the way through pickup, she was incredibly kind, communicative, and caring. She sent me regular updates throughout the week to let me know how Mac was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was very attentive to his personality and made sure he was comfortable, getting plenty of attention, cuddles, and company. It was honestly so nice hearing how quickly Mac settled in and made himself at home! It was clear throughout his stay that Mac was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He seemed to really enjoy his time with Martha, and I was so happy knowing he was in such a loving environment while I was away. Martha was wonderful about keeping me updated and making sure Mac was happy and comfortable throughout his entire stay. I really appreciated how much care and attention she gave him, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed having him around. I would absolutely recommend Martha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative to watch their dog. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time Mac needs someone to stay with!”
“Susan took wonderful care of Roscoe. She was great with communication and kept me updated throughout the stay. We felt our fur baby was in good hands the whole time and I would recommend her to anyone else looking for pet care in the area.”
“Once we saw Wendy's place and met her and the family we knew Loki would be with caring hands for his week away from home. Thank you Wendy for your perseverance with Loki's ear treatment!”
“Amazing!!!! This was our first time using Rover and Jeanne has us hooked! Jeanne sent us lots pictures and videos which helped to ease our anxiety of leaving them for Christmas. They had so much fun and came home so exhausted! Huskys are hard and very high energy, but Jeanne was a champ and kept them busy and entertained the whole stay. We will absolutely be using her again and referring all of our friends as well!”
“Larisa was very friendly and accommodating. She took good care of our dog when we were away and Larisa did everything she could to make sure our dog was happy, comfortable, and well exercised!”
“Jessica was amazing with our pups. She kept us updated on how their days were going along with pictures and video. I would definitely book with her again and anyone reading this should as well.”
“Christin took absolutely perfect care of my dog, Chance! I received pictures within an hour or so of dropping him off and continually throughout his stay. In every picture, I could tell her was being loved and cared for. Will absolutely rebook next time, thank you Christin!!”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”
“She was very responsive ! Texted me updates . My dog had anxiety so she wasn’t eating a lot but they kept me updated and sent pictures. Rajah walked the dogs a lot daily too and I know they loved that”
“an absolute lifesaver! They were available last minute, communicated far above expectations, and shared photos that gave me total peace of mind. They were wonderful to meet and clearly cares deeply about the dogs theywatches. I would absolutely recommend this family and will be booking again.”
“This is the second time Rachel has taken care of our two dogs. She and her girls love our dogs like they are their own. When we picked up Coco and Pebbles, they were happy and well taken care of. We will recommend and use Rachel’s services again.”

“Donielle is a phenomenal pet sitter! This was our first time leaving our dog, and we never worried for a minute. She has years of experience and took fantastic care of our pup. It felt like our dog was on her own vacation and having so much fun she didn't even miss us! I highly recommend Donielle for her professional and caring service.”

I am patient and do everything I can to make their environment as stress free and welcoming as possible.
“Alex was great! He was very communicative about my pets and let me know what time he was arriving and leaving each day. He made sure our boy cat got his medicine and was really good about getting our picky cat to eat away from the others. He sent pictures each day, which was very comforting. He also brought in packages from our mail securely in the house, which was extra helpful.”
“Did excellent going out of the way through out the day to check on the cats for a few hours! Kept up with communication and sent many pictures and videos that we really appreciated!”

She has helped us introduce Newfie to many new experiences, has helped with potty training, and has been working with him at walking on a leash. Newfie loves her and has made friends with the other doggies. We highly recommend her!”

“Joni is awesome!!! Her setup is a like a dog's resort. She greeted us, showed us how my pup could run around freely inside and out. The topper, my dog loves to swim and she had a setup with the doggie stairs. She even sent me a video :). It was great to relax knowing my baby was in good hands!”

About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.
“Jennifer is friendly, helpful, and did great with my boy. He was very happy and seemed like he made himself right at home. I got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and she was very understanding and helpful even when I needed help last minute. I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”

About: I am not your typical pet-sitter. I have spent my entire life caring for all types of animals. My first job was at a pet store learning the skills of working with animals and their people. After college I worked as a zookeeper where I cared for everything from mealworms all the way to rhinos. Specialized care was the name of the game there and I was able to recognize the smallest details on how to improve my work with exotics. Then I was led into the world of shelter work. Where I studied pet behavior and early signs of stress and how enrichment can help save lives. Many animals coming into the shelter would need some form of medication as well. I have a skillset of administering medications and making sure the animals actually receive their meds. Lastly, I was a dog training apprentice. I was able to form bonds with dogs that most people wouldn't come near. I can read body language well and know how to show dogs respect. I aim to be your go-to pet-sitter where you can actually enjoy your trip. I will make your pet my priority. I have an excellent ability to find balance in my schedule. You can trust that your pet is cared for how you want them to be. I have quite a few pets in my home and all are well cared for. I will offer the same care to the animals you care for. I will ask for detailed instructions and follow your schedule as closely as I can.

About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.

About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m a dependable, structured sitter who understands that pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like at home. As a busy mom managing a full household, I naturally bring consistency, patience, and attention to detail into everything I do—including pet care. I’m especially great with dogs who: • prefer routine • have a little anxiety • need calm, steady energy You can expect: ✔ timely communication ✔ daily photo + message updates ✔ a clean, safe, low-stress environment ✔ someone who treats your pet like family—but with structure I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I take that seriously. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of companionship for your pet. I walk often myself so I’d be happy to exercise with your pet as well. I have a large yard that is unfenced. I’m open to coming to your home as well. I also have two daughters that are dog lovers that can’t wait to play with and love on your pets!
“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”
About: We're Caroline and Joseph, a friendly and responsible couple who absolutely adore animals. We've grown up with pets our whole lives and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. We're excited to offer your pets a safe, fun, and loving environment, treating them just like our own while you're away! I’m currently a daycare teacher who works during the week Monday through Friday. I’m looking to make extra money over the weekend where I am available all of Saturday and Sunday to help with your pet care needs I currently live in an apartment, it’s very roomy and also pet friendly. There is also a spacious dog park outside of the building. Additionally, I also have a 1 year old calico cat. She is very friendly and gets along with other animals.
“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”
About: I grew up with 7 dogs when I was young. I now own 2 dogs of my own for the last 7 years. I am experienced with caring for dogs of all ages. I live in a school bus and can park at your house and stay with your pups as needed since my home moves. It helps me be very flexible. ◡̈ I can take your pup on walks, feed, and give meds as needed. I will also give your dog lots of love and play time!
About: I've taken care of cats for years and I love taking care of dogs as well. My most recent pet is my bunny named Boo! I am a part time online student and work mostly on weekends. My schedule is pretty flexible depending on the level of care your pet needs. I cant currently care for pets in my home, so I would come to your house to visit your pet! We would workout what kind of schedule he/she needs.
About: I've always had a pet in my home. Whether it be a dog, cat, fish, rabbit, turtle, or lizard, they are always treated like family. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most days. An animal can never be "bad" in my eyes, and will never be treated like it is. Your pet will be treated like it's one of my own and part of this family. It will be given endless patience and love. Our family would love to have our own pet right now, but we just got a new home, new jobs and we have three younger boys so we are taking the time to get settled. Using the Rover app is perfect for seeing how our life will be when we do have a pet, and what kind we would like. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to hear from you and meet your pets! Perfectly. Our lifestyle is lax, and focused on family and happiness overall. Everyone here loves animals, and appreciates the opportunity to get to know your pet! Your pets safety is VERY important to us and is always at the forefront of my mind. I treat them as if they're someone's child.
About: I have experience dealing with dogs, cats, and rabbits of all age groups. I live an active lifestyle and am always attentive of my pets' needs. I'm currently working part-time ad would have plenty of time and attention to dedicate to your pet. I have pets of my own and am experienced in taking care of them. I would care for your pet as if it were my own and make sure I adhere to any training methods/household rules that you maintain for your pet.

“Max and Mariah took great care of our two 9 month old pups over an entire 4-day holiday weekend. These puppies are high energy and were allowed to play in their fenced in yard to their heart’s content and adjusted well to their already busy household. I will definitely check with them first if ever needing boarding again.”
“We have complete trust in Todd & Maureen for our somewhat hyper female lab mix. I think she enjoys being there with the other dogs they have and where she can run in their back yard and yet stay indoors as she is used to doing. And I am sure she loves the AC on these very hot days we have had recently. We appreciate the pics and updates while we are vacationing. Highly recommended.”
“This is the absolute best thing I could've stumbled upon for my little dog-child Rupert! He absolutely LOVES it there, gets to play with new friends, goes for walks, and even sleeps in the bed! I worry that one time he is not going to want to come home with me! Thank you Ed for keeping him so happy, and making me feel better about leaving him behind some days!!!”
“Matt was great to work with & took amazing care of our golden doodle. He has separation anxiety & seizures that are typically controlled with medication but in stressful situations he still will have them occasionally. He was obviously very comfortable at Matt’s & had zero issues.”
“Martha did an absolutely wonderful job watching my dog Mac! This was my first time using her, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our initial meet and greet all the way through pickup, she was incredibly kind, communicative, and caring. She sent me regular updates throughout the week to let me know how Mac was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was very attentive to his personality and made sure he was comfortable, getting plenty of attention, cuddles, and company. It was honestly so nice hearing how quickly Mac settled in and made himself at home! It was clear throughout his stay that Mac was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He seemed to really enjoy his time with Martha, and I was so happy knowing he was in such a loving environment while I was away. Martha was wonderful about keeping me updated and making sure Mac was happy and comfortable throughout his entire stay. I really appreciated how much care and attention she gave him, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed having him around. I would absolutely recommend Martha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative to watch their dog. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time Mac needs someone to stay with!”
“Once we saw Wendy's place and met her and the family we knew Loki would be with caring hands for his week away from home. Thank you Wendy for your perseverance with Loki's ear treatment!”
“Amazing!!!! This was our first time using Rover and Jeanne has us hooked! Jeanne sent us lots pictures and videos which helped to ease our anxiety of leaving them for Christmas. They had so much fun and came home so exhausted! Huskys are hard and very high energy, but Jeanne was a champ and kept them busy and entertained the whole stay. We will absolutely be using her again and referring all of our friends as well!”
“Larisa was very friendly and accommodating. She took good care of our dog when we were away and Larisa did everything she could to make sure our dog was happy, comfortable, and well exercised!”
“Jessica was amazing with our pups. She kept us updated on how their days were going along with pictures and video. I would definitely book with her again and anyone reading this should as well.”
“Christin took absolutely perfect care of my dog, Chance! I received pictures within an hour or so of dropping him off and continually throughout his stay. In every picture, I could tell her was being loved and cared for. Will absolutely rebook next time, thank you Christin!!”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”
“She was very responsive ! Texted me updates . My dog had anxiety so she wasn’t eating a lot but they kept me updated and sent pictures. Rajah walked the dogs a lot daily too and I know they loved that”
“an absolute lifesaver! They were available last minute, communicated far above expectations, and shared photos that gave me total peace of mind. They were wonderful to meet and clearly cares deeply about the dogs theywatches. I would absolutely recommend this family and will be booking again.”
About: I grew up with having pets my entire life . Not only caring for my own pets but growing up in a big family we are always willing to take care of each others. I have some experience with training dogs during my time in the service. I currently work from home so I’m very flexible with how my day to day looks I finish my work day at 5 and free on the weekends. I have a large back yard partially fenced in. With one very well behaved golden lab to keep others company. We love playing fetch and enjoying the outside as much as possible.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of various ages and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 3 year old and an 8 year old, both of whom I’ve raised from a young age. One of my dogs is an indoor companion, while the other is a well-trained outdoor dog. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have shown dogs of various breeds and have collaborated with breeders, which has provided me with valuable insight into different training techniques and dog behaviors. I’m passionate about spending quality time with dogs, whether it’s through daily walks, adventures on rail trails, or simply enjoying their company. I believe that understanding and adapting to each dog’s unique personality is key to providing exceptional care and building a strong bond. My approach focuses on trust, consistency, and creating a positive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Even though I work full-time as a CNA, I make sure to dedicate time each day to caring for animals, since I have two of my own at home. I’m already used to balancing a busy schedule while still giving pets the attention, structure, and affection they need. From feeding, walks, and playtime to maintaining a clean and safe environment, I treat pet care as a priority. My background in healthcare has also helped me build strong time management, reliability, and caregiving skills, which carry over into providing dependable and loving care for fur babies. I provide exceptional care for animals in a comfortable, home like environment. In my home, I ensure that all their needs are met, including medication administration, playtime, and baths upon request. I offer a variety of toys and treats to keep them engaged and happy. Additionally, I have a dedicated, remodeled dog room equipped with everything a dog could need for a safe and enjoyable stay.
