“It’s always a 5/5 experience with Erin! Our pup loves going there and she gives him so much love. This past time he wasn’t feeling too well before we dropped him off so Erin kept a close eye on him and sent us extra pictures/videos which put us more at ease. Absolutely recommend!”
“My two pups were tuckered out and smelled so good afterwards! They had a great time, it was so good for them to be around other dogs and I got so many cute pictures of them throughout their stay. Bennet was kind and communicative and I can tell they enjoyed being there so much <3”
“Buddy's stay with Edward went great. The drop off and pick up was quick. Ed took picture and sent update of Buddy chilling with another dog. I would highly recommend Edward and use him again in the future.”
“Kathy was kind and compassionate to our goldendoodle Bingo. She texted daily pictures and updates. Our first time leaving our dog and we're were nervous but she was great.we will definitely be using her again.”
“Maverick had a blast and was well taken care of!! We loved getting picture updates!! Maverick has separation anxiety and tends to not eat while away from home but he did eat and had a great time!! He came home a tired pup which for him is good.”
“Jeanna was absolutely amazing to work with! As our first experience with Rover, I am so thrilled we were able to work with her! I highly suggest her to anyone not sure about rover sitters!”
“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.”
“I am SO HAPPY we found Larissa! She is sweet, easy to talk with, and most importantly, amazing with Carini! She loved staying with her for a week. Larissa sent me updates and pictures every day and I could tell how great of a time my girl was having. Safe to say, we'll be doing some daycare days in the future so she can see them again ??”
“Bella loves going to Jessica’s house (we wonder if she really wants to come home). She is treated like her own. It’s so nice to leave her and know she is so well taken care of! ❤️”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
About: I'm 26, work from home, and have a very flexible schedule, so your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live alone and genuinely love having animals around. Whether your pet loves long walks at the park, playtime, or just relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an active day or just someone to keep them company, I'm able to be there for them. I always treat my clients' homes with the same respect I would want for my own. I have experience cleaning homes and caring for the elderly, so I'm comfortable following routines, respecting personal space, and cleaning up any pet messes along the way. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
“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.”
“I am so thankful for Jennifer! She took excellent care of my senior dog, Molly! Jennifer sent lots of photos and updates along with taking Molly on walks. Molly was so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I knew Molly was well taken care of and loved! Jennifer and her family are so nice and took care of Molly as their own. This was such a great experience, I booked with Jennifer again as soon as I got home! I appreciate Jennifer so much and highly recommend her!!”
“Michael and his family were excellent in caring for our 2 dogs for a week. Kept us updated with pictures and messages. Will definitely use again and would recommend others utilize him as well.”

“We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Shaylin did a fantastic job with our dog! She stayed the full agreed-upon time, gave great care, and even took her on walks. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Shaylin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I have done cat sitting numerous times. From brushing, baths, play time, cuddles, and litter box changes, I can help with it all! I would love to spend time with your furry family member!
About: I have grown up with dogs around my whole life, from the puppy stage up to the old age. 3 years ago I got a dog of my own with that I fully got to learn how to care for. With that administrating medicine, long walks, puppy stage and training I have gotten to learn. I would fully treat your dog as my own and make sure they are the absolute most tail wagging version of them selves wether that be playing fetch, going on a long walk, dog park or even laying on the couch I am ready for whatever it is!! I am currently working Monday-Friday, the latest I work is 3pm I would always be able to take time off if needed if I have a week ahead notice! I offer whatever you would like, if you want your pup to have a long walk, a play time in the backyard, a trip to the dog park, or just a friend to hang out with!
“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”
“Sydney was excellent with our two dogs! She made them feel comfortable and took care of their needs very well. She sent photos and summaries after each visit and was really quick with her communication. Our schedule shifted a bit due to our travel plans, and Sydney was flexible with all the changes. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need help with our dogs!”
“Annabel and Gavin were nothing short of amazing, fantastic dog care takers! Our dog probably will want us to go on another trip ASAP so she can spend more time with them and their beautiful dog Zeus.”
About: I'm a dedicated animal lover with a proven track record in the pet care industry. My diverse experience includes owning and operating a successful pet training and boarding facility, as well as consulting for a renowned service dog training organization. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I understand the unique bond between humans and animals. My personal "zoo" includes three beloved dogs and a menagerie of other species, reflecting my passion for all creatures great and small. I actively contribute to my community by working with local rescues and animal welfare organizations. My expertise extends beyond dogs to a wide array of animals, from hamsters to horses, with a special affinity for exotic pets. I'm known for my professionalism, flexibility, and genuine love for animals, which consistently earns the trust and affection of both pets and their owners. As an overly attached pet parent myself, I empathize with the worries that come with leaving your furry (or scaly!) family members in someone else's care. That's why I go above and beyond to provide frequent updates and personalized attention, ensuring your peace of mind. When I ran my own facility, I even created individual "blog" pages for each dog, allowing owners to stay connected with their pets daily. I'm thrilled to offer that same level of care and transparency to my current clients. Let me bring my expertise and passion to your pet care needs – your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will thank you! For an extra fee, I can tack on training to daycare or boarding My routine is pet care centric, whether I'm pet sitting or not. I'm almost always doing something with my many pets, particularly the two dogs. I follow strict safety protocols. If needed, I can crate your dog, use double leashes etc. Whatever is necessary for your pet to have the safest environment
“Erica was FANTASTIC! I needed a last minute sitter after a cancellation and she was wonderful. As someone in rescue, I can see how she is respectful and knew animals. Erica was awesome with my kitty, Chunky! I recommend Erica if you need someone!!!”
“Melissa is great and really helped me out on the fly when something came up with my scheduled sitter. It's obvious that she loves animals and does an awesome job taking care of them!”
“Madison was so sweet with our needy cats who always get sooo lonesome when we’re gone. She sent us lots of photos after each visit showing her doing all the special things besides feeding for them. She went above and beyond. We so appreciated her! Thank you so much, Madison.”

About: I grew up with dogs. My siblings and I were entrusted to take good care of our own dog since we were toddlers to train us to be responsible. I treat dogs as a gentle member of the family, like a child who needs parental love, care, protection and provision. My friends and family fully entrust to me their dogs, to play with them, walk, feed and even groom them. I had experience in taking care from puppy days to senior and sickly days. I enjoy taking dogs for a walk, play with them, give belly rubs and make sure that they are hydrated, fed on time and clean as dogs are welcome on our furnitures and bed. We have a fence for dogs to play outdoors. If you need a safe and happy home for your furbabies while you are away, we welcome them in our home and will be treated as our own family member. My dog and I are home most of the time, and we are thrilled to share that time and our tender loving care with your furbaby while staying at our place. I have a fenced yard for dogs in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I have one cuddly dog to give your furbaby company and makes his/her stay comfortable. I have a regular schedule when it comes to feeding, potty runs, walk and play time with dogs.

“Edward was perfect for our energetic dog! He was very professional and makes sure that all the dogs that stay with him are up to date on their vaccinations, which made me feel better knowing that Ollie would be around other dogs! I would highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals all my life. I totally understand that your dog is you child. I have 2 of my own. Just moved to the area and wanted to try Rover. Something different. So as of now I'm doing only Rover. Open schedule as of now. I have a fenced in back yard on 20 wooded acres. You cannot see my house from the road. I also have an extra large crate if needed.
“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family. She is great at reading dog behavior and she goes above and beyond meeting thier needs. We will definitely be our first choice anytime we need someone to watch our pups!”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away. My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
“Erin has a beautiful, large fenced in yard for dogs and children. She is conscientious, kind, on time, and communicates with her clients. Molly likes her. I will definitely trust Erin with my Molly again.”
“My dogs came home tired and so so happy! Jessica sent plenty of photos and its clear that all the dogs in her care get tons of love and attention. Looking forward to weekly care for my pups🥰”
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using this service and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a responsible setter or boarder. Larisa was outstanding with my boy Spartacus and I will use her anytime I need her services.”
“Christin is amazing! She watches our puppy Newfie everyday and sends lots of pictures throughout the day. 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!”

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
About: A lifelong animal lover, I enjoy romping through the woods with dogs, as well as sharing their company by a burning fire. I'm a freelance writer working from my home, so your hound has a constant companion in my care. The walks help me think while letting the dog burn off some energy. I'm also willing to travel to let your best friend out on a day-to-day basis, or overnights as necessary. Your cat, should he or she stay overnight, would receive lots of attention from two teenagers and a first-grader (even if the cat is indifferent to it). Our dogs have always been part of our family, and we'll treat your pet like one of our own. We look forward to meeting you and yours.
About: Farm girl with tons of animal experience ! I’ve had several different pets in my lifetime to include dogs, cats, horses, hedgehogs, rabbits, pigs and more I’m currently a WFH/stay at home mom who personally owns 4 indoor pets( 2 dogs, 1 cat and 1 rabbit) and multiple farm animals. As a farm kid to now, I’ve have extensive knowledge in how to provide the proper care to several different species :) I do have a fenced in back yard in which all animals can safely be contained in for bathroom and play breaks but do take daily walks down the road and if permitted on leash around the farm to explore the 11+ acres we have to offer
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was young. I have learned how to care for and train dogs of various sizes and ages, from basic commands to specific skills. I have cared for Cats, Hamsters, Rabbits and even Bearded Dragon's, just to name a few. I became a Rover, because I have cared for several friends pets. Doing drop in services while my fur friends Human is at work. Doing drop in service for another fur friend while his Humans went on a family vacation for 2 weeks. I have done pet sitting for a senior fur friend while his Humans enjoyed a lovely cruise for 3 weeks. My fur baby grew up with this senior, so they got along great! I have a group of friends who all have pets, we will go on hikes and take some of the dogs with us. So, if your Fur friend likes adventure, I would be happy to take them along. If you have questions about other services that I do not have tagged, feel free to ask me, I am sure we can work something out. I am available to care for your pets almost any reasonable time of the day. My earliest time is 6am, my latest time is 10pm. A drop in service for any vacations, may consist of up to 6 visits daily, each visit is subject for an extra charge based on travel time and distance. We can work out a flat rate if interested. I feel that pets prefer to stay in their own environment. This way they will not experience anymore anxiety than what they will while you are away. As I stated before, my drop in services for daily visits, can consist of up to 6 visits. This is depended on the time you will be away as well as your fur friends needs. We can discuss more details when we meet. Because of my flexible schedule, I can concentrate on caring for my own senior pup and be available to care for your fur friends also. I will be sure to keep your fur friends safe while we walk or play. If your pet requires medical attention, I will be sure to contact the vet provided and then you.

I have 3 cats and have been around animals my whole life. I can help with pets after 4pm, on weekends, and any time during school breaks. I’m close to most places in the tri-cities and have reliable transportation. I love going for walks with dogs, playing catch, snuggling cats, making sure they eat, and help them feel safe and happy while you are away. I’m great at communication and will keep you updated if you want reassurance things are going well while you are gone.
“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 ❤️”

“If this app had 1000 stars it wouldn’t be enough with my crazy work schedule , this couple is the greatest . I so much appreciate them being able to walk Gail while I’m working this nightshift .”
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.
“Alana was very professional, observant and attentive to the dogs. They can be a little skittish and nervous with new people but she was very gentle with them and helped them feel at ease. She even noticed and let me know about a health issue for one of my dogs, which I really appreciated.”
About: I started a new job 7 months ago where I work 12 hour swing shifts. I’m scheduled to work 3-4 days or nights per week, but have opportunities for overtime. Please do reach out to see if I’m available. I love walking and running. Being outdoors as much as I can when it’s nice out! 🌞 I pay a good attention to details and often like to double check things. I do whatever is asked of me. I always do my best and with honesty. Accept same day bookings as long as I don’t already have something planned of course! Don’t have kids or personal pets of my own. Just family pets. If I have to be gone for more than what the dog is allowed to be alone. Then I will go back and check on them and let them out for a quick potty break. I’m currently only scheduling for the weekends that I am off. So my schedule is limited as I work a 12 hours of swing shift. I do have every other weekend off, plus a day or two during the week. I walk the dog on the side walk or on the road if there are no sidewalk and if it’s not a busy road. I feed and give your dog water. Also medication if they take any. I also play with your dog if requested or I see the need.
“Jennifer is the BEST! I have been looking for someone to really tire out my puppy. She is little with little legs and some people take that to mean a 10 minute walk is sufficient. But I don’t just need her to pee and poop, I need to exercise her brain, and Jennifer gets that. I have been coming home to a happy well exercised pup! Her communication is excellent and I get to see how much fun Betty is having through pictures!”
About: I’ve taken care of and watched family, friends and even neighbors dogs since I was old enough to drive. I also own a few dogs of my own so I am very experienced. I’m currently taking college classes part time so I will have lots of free time to take care of and love your dogs just as much as you do. I will do whatever is needed to take care of your dog(s). I am very caring and would never do something that wasn’t asked of.

About: Dogs have always been involved in my life. I’ll help in you out in anyway I can. Don’t be mad at me if they want to stay with me. 💪🏽💪🏽 Pretty free currently, message me if you have any questions. I can usually make my schedule work around you. Always looking for new dog owners. I can take your dog on walks. I'm young and can play with them if they are high energy. Not really afraid of a challenge 🫡
About: With over a decade of experience working with animals, you can trust that your furry friend will be well loved and safe in my care. I’ve not only cared for animals of my own my entire life, I’ve also worked at a dog boarding kennel, on a farm and cared for many animals of family and friends over the years. I’ve trained puppies, performed grooming, bathing, feeding and administering medication for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m also experienced taking care of chickens and other small farm animals. I love animals and can’t wait to snuggle and play with yours! I’m currently a stay at home mom. My son just started pre-school so I am excited to finally get back out into the working world. I’m extremely flexible. I’m happy to help in any way you need. In the past, I have made sure to get a potty break in and energy out. I’m very aware of safety and would make sure to follow any requests from you.
“Annabel and Gavin took care of my 2 doogs and a cat while I was away for 2 weeks overseas. They have followed their routine to the T. Excellent communication gave me peace of mind and photos sharing ensured pets were in great hands. I can't be thankful enough for allowing us to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies are taking care off. Highly recommended and would definitely use their service again!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals all my life. I totally understand that your dog is you child. I have 2 of my own. Just moved to the area and wanted to try Rover. Something different. So as of now I'm doing only Rover. Open schedule as of now. I have a fenced in back yard on 20 wooded acres. You cannot see my house from the road. I also have an extra large crate if needed.
About: A lifelong animal lover, I enjoy romping through the woods with dogs, as well as sharing their company by a burning fire. I'm a freelance writer working from my home, so your hound has a constant companion in my care. The walks help me think while letting the dog burn off some energy. I'm also willing to travel to let your best friend out on a day-to-day basis, or overnights as necessary. Your cat, should he or she stay overnight, would receive lots of attention from two teenagers and a first-grader (even if the cat is indifferent to it). Our dogs have always been part of our family, and we'll treat your pet like one of our own. We look forward to meeting you and yours.
About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.
About: I have grown up having and taking care of many animals. Family and friends rely on me frequently to watch or take care of their pets for simple bathroom breaks, to 24 hour pet sitting for weeks at a time. I currently have very open availability and would love to care for your babies! I do prefer mornings or anything before 9pm but open to all! I provide care for pets in your home, so they can be as comfortable and relaxed as possible while you’re away and with a new person.

“It’s always a 5/5 experience with Erin! Our pup loves going there and she gives him so much love. This past time he wasn’t feeling too well before we dropped him off so Erin kept a close eye on him and sent us extra pictures/videos which put us more at ease. Absolutely recommend!”
“Buddy's stay with Edward went great. The drop off and pick up was quick. Ed took picture and sent update of Buddy chilling with another dog. I would highly recommend Edward and use him again in the future.”
“Maverick had a blast and was well taken care of!! We loved getting picture updates!! Maverick has separation anxiety and tends to not eat while away from home but he did eat and had a great time!! He came home a tired pup which for him is good.”
“Jeanna was absolutely amazing to work with! As our first experience with Rover, I am so thrilled we were able to work with her! I highly suggest her to anyone not sure about rover sitters!”
“I am SO HAPPY we found Larissa! She is sweet, easy to talk with, and most importantly, amazing with Carini! She loved staying with her for a week. Larissa sent me updates and pictures every day and I could tell how great of a time my girl was having. Safe to say, we'll be doing some daycare days in the future so she can see them again ??”
“Bella loves going to Jessica’s house (we wonder if she really wants to come home). She is treated like her own. It’s so nice to leave her and know she is so well taken care of! ❤️”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“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.”
“I am so thankful for Jennifer! She took excellent care of my senior dog, Molly! Jennifer sent lots of photos and updates along with taking Molly on walks. Molly was so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I knew Molly was well taken care of and loved! Jennifer and her family are so nice and took care of Molly as their own. This was such a great experience, I booked with Jennifer again as soon as I got home! I appreciate Jennifer so much and highly recommend her!!”
“Michael and his family were excellent in caring for our 2 dogs for a week. Kept us updated with pictures and messages. Will definitely use again and would recommend others utilize him as well.”
“This was my first time using a boarding service, and I’m happy that I found Ralph to take care of Maggie while I was out of town for a month. He was very responsive, and his quick replies helped me check in on her. I was informed that there were a couple of diarrheal episodes. It would have been more helpful for me to relay these episodes to the vet if they had been described in more detail with text and photos. I also came home early and greatly appreciated his flexibility in allowing me to pick Maggie up a day early. Lastly, I wish Rover supported video so that I could see Maggie during her stay. Overall, I’m grateful for the care Ralph provided.”
“Ashley was very accommodating and excellent with our 4 active dogs. I could tell they were very well taken care of and got plenty attention. Communication was great and we got regular updates with photos while we were gone. It’s clear she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be back. Thank you!”
“Janis and her dogs were a great host for our young dogs first overnight away from us. We met up quickly a couple days before hand so that she was sure Thule would be a good fit at her house . She provided updates and pictures showing the fun he was having. We would definitely recommend boarding with Janis!”
“Alisha was amazing to work with! She took great care of my dog, Ruger, and kept me updated the whole time. I received lots of cute pictures of Ruger and her dog, Bella, playing together. She has a big fenced in backyard which gave Ruger lots of opportunities to get in his exercise and to play with Bella. I highly recommend Alisha to look after your fur baby and I will definitely be taking Ruger to her again if I need a sitter.”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
