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.”

“Krysten was absolutely amazing with our dog, Sadie. This was my first time leaving my dog in the care of a stranger. But you can tell she loves animals & your pet is in GREAT hands. We will absolutely use her services again.”
“We always have ease of mind when leaving our pups with Jacob. He does a great job of communicating and prioritizing the safety of the dogs. We can count on him giving our dogs playtime, exercise, and much affection!”
“Terry & Chuckie are the Best! They took excellent care of our baby girl while we were away and made sure to send us daily updates with pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Kina was so great, replied fast, and was extremely caring and accommodating for my last minute booking. She took such good care of my grandmas dog and made sure to send plenty of photos and videos! Would highly recommend her to anyone”
“Amber was absolutely amazing!!! My dog is reactive and I felt very safe leaving him with her. He was in good hands and well taken care of. I also appreciated how she paid attention to and remembered details I had written in Bentley’s profile. We are so lucky to have found Amber!”
“Angie and her family have watched my dog a couple of times, and it’s very clear she and the kids give him all the attention and care he needs. During our most recent stay, we had a snow storm, that delayed our pick up, and Angie was understanding and responsive. Thanks Angie!”
“Félix is beyond AMAZING ! He has such a beautiful heart and Love for dogs. I took my Shelby over for a meet and greet. I had never left her before and was very anxious about having to leave her for such a long time- 3 weeks. Anxious being an understatement. But I left the meet and greet 100% certain that she would be loved, spoiled and incredibly well taken care of. And she was. When I picked her up, she was happy and healthy and I could feel the bond that had formed between them. Felix was so wonderful about keeping me updated. He sent lots of photos and videos, took her on long walks every day, and has a huge fenced in backyard where she could run off her energy. I highly recommend Felix, would Absolutely leave my little girl with him again. I can’t imagine that there is anyone out there who could possibly do as well of a job or a better job of loving and caring for my best friend. I wouldn’t even consider leaving her with anyone else because I have found the very best in Felix.”
“Evvia was so great and patient with Luna. It was Luna’s first stay ever with someone new. Evvia kept us updated with messages, pictures, and videos. Just what we needed. I will definitely use Evvia again for our next time we need boarding.”

I have a Basset Hound named Minnow who wants to be friends with anything that moves. I can stop by your home to care for larger animals like dogs, cats, etc. But I am totally cool with your small animal (I.e. Guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, etc.) staying with me if needed.

“Shannon has been coming for drop in visits for our two pups 3 times a week for about 3 months now. My partner and I got new jobs where we would be gone for 11 hours of the day, so we needed someone to come and let them out during the middle of the day. She's been absolutely phenomenal to our pups (1 of who isnt a huge fan of strangers, but she warmed right up to Shannon), always sends pics of them playing, gives them extra water on those hot days, and she is so easy for mom and dad to partner with. We so love her coming to play with them!”

“Dawnn was the BEST! From the very first meeting, it was clear how much she truly loves and understands animals. She took the time to learn about our pets’ routines, quirks, and favorite activities, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in her care.”
“She was great. Our girls love it when she comes to cat sit. Maelee is very attentive, sends and gives lots of updates and photos. She does a great job!!! I asked if she would do a quick vacuum because our cats are super messy with their litter and I appreciated that very much. We can’t wait to have her back!!! Thanks for a great job.”
“Elise dropped in for 4 visits with my young cats. She took great care of them also doing a few things for me too. Its so satisfying not to have to worry about them. She's very flexable on time too. She's my go to gal.”
“Brooke took care of our three cats and saltwater fish tank while we were on vacation. She was reliable with all the check in visits and sent updates with pictures as well. I would recommend her to others and we will use her again in the future!”
“Jasmine is wonderful and highly recommended. My puppy Teddy has adopted her as one of his people. My shy guy doesn't quickly adapt to many humans but he looks forward to Jasmine's visits each week. 5 Stars for sure!”
“As soon as I reached out to Sheena, she was quick to respond. I liked that she met with my dog and I ahead of time. She dropped in as promised. I appreciated hearing from her afterwards (via text, card and rover follow-up.”
“Highly recommend Krysten for any pet needs. Her and her partner took amazing care of our 2 cats and bunny. Her first visit she noticed my bunny actually needed to see any emergency vet. She brought him in and stayed with him on the holiday. She truly cares about your pets wellbeing. Highly recommend her and her I’ll definitely use her again.”
“Cindy went above and beyond with our three cats. She was communicative with questions when it came to our special needs cat and was extremely alert and attentive. Also kudos to her because our youngest can be a bit of a challenge, but she handed them all perfectly. I would definitely trust her again with our pets.”
“First time using rover and Kate eased all my worries! She was flexible , responsive and took amazing care of my cats ( even with having to give medications last minute ) appreciate everything you did for my boys! I’m sure we will see you again!”
About: I’ve had cats before I was even born! My parents rescued a cat a year before I was born and he was 20 years old before he passed away. He was treated like any other family member and he sparked my deep love for cats. So much so that I rescued a kitten from Texas when I was 10 years old and I learned even more about the care and dedication it takes to have a cat. Then 10 years later I officially adopted my own cat from TC Paws Rescue! He came to me with stomach issues that required him to be on medicated kibble and I fought to find the root cause of his issue to help his quality of life. I soon found out that he has a food intolerance to all seafood! After cutting out all the fish products from his diet, he hasn’t had any stomach issues since! And to me this is an example of the unconditional love that cats teach you. I could’ve kept my cat on that kibble diet and not question it but cats are family and like family you fight for them no matter what. Regardless of the hassle or battle it may cause because every animal should have the best chance at a wonderful life and we’re their advocates.
“She goes above and beyond. I’ve hired her twice now and she’s so sweet with my babygirl, punctual, and kind. I always know my cat is in the best hands and seek her out whenever I need a sitter!!”
“Beth did an amazing job! We loved getting the updates and photos while we were away, it always makes vacation easier knowing your pets are in good hands!”
“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 :)”
“Katrina was great with our pup and is an excellent communicator. We’ve had to cancel because of the weather multiple times (as spouse in office work cancelled) and she’s still been willing to work with us and has been very understanding and flexible. Would definitely hire again!”
“Abigail did an excellent job taking care of my two cats over the holidays. She handled the instructions for my elders cat's medicine and particular feeding well. Overall I would trust her in the future to watch them again.”

“Katrina took excellent care of my dog Blu. She was consistent with communication and updates about how Blu was doing. She made sure to keep him comfortable and took him for walks throughout the day. I would absolutely recommend allowing Katrina to take care of your fur baby!”
“This was our first experience with River and boy, did we choose wisely! This was a “test” for our pups in preparation for a 2 night stay and it was really good! Jenn meet us at the front door and took the dogs immediately out the back to the yard to aid in our escape. Of course they were happy to see us upon our return but we are confident in our decision to leave them longer with Jenn. We highly recommend her!”
“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.”
About: I am a dog lover who loves to meet more pets! I have 2 Westies and we spend hours outside each day in the yard or walking at a park. I am here to help whether you are gone for just a few hours or for weeks at a time. I have no problem allowing the dogs to run free in our house, or stop by to check on your pet in your house. As a pet lover, I will care for your pet as I do mine, and they are spoiled! I am home almost all the time. I wander around our 3 acres and love to garden. I take my dogs for a walk almost daily. I am with the dogs almost all the time. If I have to go run an errand, I can crate them. They are allowed on the furniture with me.
About: What sets me apart is my 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, as well as cats and bunnies. I don’t just “watch” pets—I truly understand their behaviors, routines, and emotional needs. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime. I’m also prepared to handle extra needs like crate training, light grooming, and senior care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—giving them the attention, patience, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs—as well as cats and bunnies. I provide daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime, and treat every pet like family. 🐾 I offer a secure fenced yard for safe roaming, a heavy-duty crate available upon request, and a variety of pet-safe toys and treats. If your fur baby needs a bath or light grooming, I’m equipped with hygiene supplies, brushes, and combs to keep them clean and comfortable. 🐾
“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!”
“Krysten was very easy to communicate with and made us feel confident leaving Daryl in her care. He seemed to have made himself at home and enjoyed his visit. We would certainly book with Krysten again.”
“We had a great experience with Shannon taking care of our dog, Stitch. She was very kind, gentle, and attentive throughout the entire time. It gave us real peace of mind knowing that Stitch was in such good hands.”
“Daniel is a natural with dogs. Both of our dogs went to him immediately and couldn’t wait to go inside. They are not always like that with new people. Daniel kept me updated with a few photos and texts throughout the day. Will definitely use Daniel again.”
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.
About: Hi, I’m Natt! I’ve always been the person friends and neighbors trust with their pets — especially seniors, shy animals, and those who need a little extra patience. I’ve also cared for my own pets through disability and aging, which taught me how important it is to stay attentive, adapt to changing needs, and move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for each animal. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and routines so I can support them in the way that suits them best. I focus on both physical and mental enrichment, giving pets chances to explore, think, and stay engaged. Whether your senior dog prefers slow, steady walks or your energetic pup thrives on activity and play, I’m here to make sure they feel at home and well cared for. I work remotely as a consultant, which gives me the flexibility and time to provide consistent presence and truly individualized attention whenever your pet needs it. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your routines exactly — from feeding schedules to medication instructions to preferred walking routes. I pay close attention to doors, gates, and leashes, and I always make sure your pet feels secure before moving from one space to another. At my home, pets have access to a large yard and nearby walking trails (both paved and wooded), which provides enriching outdoor time. I keep a close eye on each pet’s comfort level, especially seniors or animals with mobility needs, and I tailor walks and activities to what feels best for them.
“Would recommend Gretchen. Received updates and pictures during our dog Nellie's day stay and was flexible with the timing of dropoff/pickup. She has a sweet dog that got along with our's well and Nellie got to walk and explore.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life within my own family as well as being trusted to watch over friends and family pets as well. This includes dogs of all sizes, medical needs, senior care, etc. I am able to be home to give your pet the attention and frequent potty breaks they may need and can provide frequent updates and photos while you’re away. I look forward to connecting! I am currently working from home only part time and would be able to watch over your pet in the home all hours of the day and week. I have a friendly dog at home that gets along great with others. I have a yard and would be able to take your dog out leashed and for walks as it is unfenced at this time. I can definitely crate your dog if needed, let them roam around if that’s what you’re comfortable with, provide medication as needed, etc.
About: Hello! Thank you for considering me for one of the most important roles in your pets life. I grew up with pets, volunteered at the humane society taking dogs out for runs, and now continue a life of advocacy for all animals! I currently work with both cat and dog rescues and pet sit often for friends and family. Having used pet sitting services before, I understand what it is like to put your trust in someone else - and will make you and your pet my number one priority. I will always ensure you receive updates and confirmation of the fun your pet is having. I look forward to connecting and spending time with your fur baby! I am a mom to an active toddler. We love getting outside as much as we can, and staying busy inside when the weather isn’t so inviting. We are in an apartment community that has safe sidewalks and lots of green areas (or snow!) for dogs to explore. We live on the second floor so your dog should be comfortable with stairs as well.

About: I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own, not just a job. I pay attention to the little things—like their energy level, habits, and comfort—and I make sure they feel loved and stress-free while you’re away. I have a structured weekly routine that includes dedicated time for pet care—feeding, exercise, and general upkeep. I’m used to balancing those responsibilities alongside my work schedule, so it’s something I manage consistently and reliably. I will follow your specific guidelines and rules to keep your pet safe and happy. I will treat them as if they are my own by giving them attention and love. I will model their normal routine, monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or illness, and making sure their environment is safe. I’m also careful about things like food restrictions, allergies, and making sure they don’t get into anything harmful. Communication is big for me, so I always keep the owner updated.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My sister worked at a zoo, so our home was basically a mini-safari—dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and the occasional surprise guest. Growing up around such a wide variety of animals taught me patience, respect, and how to read their personalities. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or a bit of both, I know how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a stay at home mom caring for my 6 year old son who is recovering from cancer. This job will allow the flexibility and meet the “out of public” requirement as our family needs to avoid illness while he recovers. Other than a 2-3 hour clinic visit twice a week, I am home and available. I have a fenced in yard back yard and a mostly quiet neighborhood where kids can play in the street safely. I have 2 cats and a rabbit of my own. All 3 are indoor animals with free range of the house. My rabbit has his own little house in our living room that he can safely retreat to when he’s not out for play time. A perfect space for any curious pet visitors we may have as they won’t be able to access him and cause any ruckus. If I am coming to your home, you can expect more than just a quick feed and potty break. Owners leaving can cause anxiety and stress on a pet. I have the time and heart to offer love, playtime, or needed snuggles and comfort your pet might miss while you’re away.
About: I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up but I have the most experience with dogs and cats. I’ve been around many different dogs with all sorts of training and personalities. I have two dogs that we got when they were puppies and I helped train them. I taught them all sorts of things like the basics but also secret hand shakes and hand signals. I currently work full time and my hours vary. Sometimes I am available any time after 3 pm or any time before 12 am. But my schedule is completely free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I care for pets by sticking to their feeding schedule, spread out times of play/interaction, walks, grooming, bathing, and light training. I do think it’s very important to make sure dogs are socialized with people and other dogs if able to. And for cats i know it is especially important to have activities for them or interactive play time to decrease the chance of boredom.
“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!”
“I would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus 😊”

I cannot care for client's pets in my home as I live with others, and they have pets. However, caring for clients pets in their home I would have the utmost respect for their space, making sure the pet is happy, safe, engaged as well as inspecting for any inhome accidents. Some dogs that have high anxiety when left alone tend to get into things they shouldnt, when I arrive I will make sure there is no damage, the food and water is distributed to the clients specifications, do a outside potty break/walk, then inside to play for a little to get out any extra energy

“Maryam came out and met Chase and I prior to her first walk with him! She was really wonderful with him and was familiar with our community so very helpful!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since my teenage years and have had four of my own since 2009. Currently, I share my home with two sweet pups, and animals have always been a huge part of my life.

I am happy to provide everything your pet needs, including playtime, walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, baths, and plenty of companionship. I understand how important it is to come home to a happy, comfortable pet — and a clean space. My own dogs have a habit of getting into the trash when I’m away, so I know firsthand that unexpected messes happen. I’m more than willing to tidy up and make sure your home is left just as you’d want it.

“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.”
“couldn't be happier with the help Melvin and his partner gave us, we were at a bind and they came to the rescue! On top of that our Moka was treated like family and they sent pictures regularly, we will definitely ask for their help later on. 1000% recommended !”
“Jayme and family took great care of our dog again. He came home happy, unanxious / relaxed, and healthy. :) We are so pleased with Jayme and can travel unconcerned knowing we’ll come home to well taken care of dog. :)”
“Krysten was absolutely amazing with our dog, Sadie. This was my first time leaving my dog in the care of a stranger. But you can tell she loves animals & your pet is in GREAT hands. We will absolutely use her services again.”
“We always have ease of mind when leaving our pups with Jacob. He does a great job of communicating and prioritizing the safety of the dogs. We can count on him giving our dogs playtime, exercise, and much affection!”
“Kina was so great, replied fast, and was extremely caring and accommodating for my last minute booking. She took such good care of my grandmas dog and made sure to send plenty of photos and videos! Would highly recommend her to anyone”
“Angie and her family have watched my dog a couple of times, and it’s very clear she and the kids give him all the attention and care he needs. During our most recent stay, we had a snow storm, that delayed our pick up, and Angie was understanding and responsive. Thanks Angie!”
“Félix is beyond AMAZING ! He has such a beautiful heart and Love for dogs. I took my Shelby over for a meet and greet. I had never left her before and was very anxious about having to leave her for such a long time- 3 weeks. Anxious being an understatement. But I left the meet and greet 100% certain that she would be loved, spoiled and incredibly well taken care of. And she was. When I picked her up, she was happy and healthy and I could feel the bond that had formed between them. Felix was so wonderful about keeping me updated. He sent lots of photos and videos, took her on long walks every day, and has a huge fenced in backyard where she could run off her energy. I highly recommend Felix, would Absolutely leave my little girl with him again. I can’t imagine that there is anyone out there who could possibly do as well of a job or a better job of loving and caring for my best friend. I wouldn’t even consider leaving her with anyone else because I have found the very best in Felix.”
“Molly was wonderful and took great care of my spunky toy aussie! My dog got along great with Molly’s dog, and my dog doesn’t always get along well with bigger dogs. Molly sent pictures and made me feel at ease while I was away. She also took my dog on plenty of walks, so my pup was tuckered out when she got home. Highly recommend Molly’s services!”
“Katrina took great care of Max. We could easily see how comfortable she felt with Katrina and her dogs and she came home a tired pup! Katrina communicated with us throughout our trip to let us know Max was doing well and offered to help and go get additional dog food when she realized Max wasn’t going to have enough to last in our absence. Would definitely use her for dog care again!”
“Hannah took such wonderful care of our Lincoln! She was very responsive and sent updates each day. Lincoln seemed happy and relaxed - which speaks volumes. Would definitely recommend Hannah!”
“Our pups were very well taken care of! We got tons of photos and videos to keep us updated throughout their stay. Our dogs came home happy and tired from playing!”
“Leslie is absolutely the best! She was so amazing with our high energy Boxer pup, Benny. Her dogs were so friendly to him too. We were beyond anxious about leaving him but she kept us in the loop with pics while we were gone. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Sam was super awesome and patient with Susie! This was her first time staying away from home and Sam made sure Susie felt comfortable and safe. Her and another dog played all day long and had the best time! Susie has come back to me all tired from all the play and so happy! Highly recommend!”
