“We had a wonderful experience with Mayumi! She took such great care of our dog while we were on vacation and gave us so much peace of mind. She regularly sent pictures and updates so we could see how he was doing, which we really appreciated. It was clear he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!!”
“I knew it would be a good fit right from our initial meeting. LOLA felt very comfortable with Amy and played with a couple of other small dogs whom she happened to be watching at the time. Being an only dog at our house, Lola loved the opportunity for socializing. When I picked her up, she greeted me, but then continued roaming in Amy's house and stretching out on the kitchen floor. I am so grateful for Amy and her daughter, Lola was very comfortable and well cared for. I highly recommend Amy, she will treat your pet as her own. Thanks Amy...will definitely rebook when the need arises. :)”
“Kathryn was extremely nice and easy to work with. She responded promptly and was very accommodating. Loki had a great time with her, and we would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with her again.”
“Maureen was so accommodating with our last minute search for care for our 9 month old puppy. Being our first time leaving Addie overnight, we were somewhat apprehensive. However, Maureen put our mind at ease with listening to our needs and requests, her reassurance, and in providing the care we wanted our puppy to have. The texts throughout the day and pictures of Addie reassured us we made the right decision in choosing Maureen. We will definitely contact her in the future when the need arises.”
“Yulia was an amazing caregiver for Cooper. He has the best time. We appreciated all the picture updates and safety measures. It was Coopers 1st time with a new caregiver and he LOVED it. 😍”
“Friendly and loving! We couldn’t be more pleased of the level of care Renee and Jim gave to our Nella Mae. Thank you to you both for accepting our holiday request. The meet and greet was a great idea and your home felt warm and welcoming. We loved the pictures and updates you sent. These small gestures made our vacation much more comfortable, knowing our baby was in good hands. We will certainly think of you again.”
“Amanda was really good with Hazel. Made her feel at home and she was very attentive to Hazel, with playing with her dog and others, she had such a good time! Hazel was a very tired dog when she came home from all the attention and activity. We will definitely rebook with Amanda again.”
“Maria is simply the best! She took care of our two big boys while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. She sent updates and photos, and reassured us along the way that they were happy and content. She is selective in who she watches, making sure to do a meet and greet and evaluate how each one interacts with others. We had no worries when she had other dogs staying there as well. Our guys were happy to see us when we picked them up, but they also looked content and were snuggly with Maria. You could tell that they had developed a good relationship with her. Maria will be the first one we ask if we need dog sitting in the future.”
“Wesley was fantastic with our dog while for four nights of boarding. He was exceptionally good at communicating, sending updaters with photos, and making us feel at ease even though we hadn’t worked with Wesley before. It was so lovely to pick our pup up from Wesley where he was smiling and clearly well cared for! We will definitely ask Wesley to help again in the future.”

“Morgan was fantastic! I was out of town and the person I had to watch my dog fell through and she went over and took care of Zoie. She took pictures and let me know everything went great. I will definitely be asking Morgan to help out again.”
“Jenna is so great with our two cats. She leaves detailed notes about each visit and I love reading them while we are away. It gives me such peace of mind to read her notes and see the pictures that she takes.”
“Great communication - wonderful about picture taking! Would have Mary back again any time!! She was even great about getting the boys to go potty in the rain - and that is not an easy task.”
“Amber went above and beyond to care for our two cats while we were on vacation. We added a few extra drop-ins last minute and she was quick to help out. She even watered my mums for me and brought my packages in! She was so easy to work with from start to finish and so pleasant to talk to. She will be our go-to for any pet sitting we might need in the future!”
About: I have a lot of experience with cats in particular. I've fostered and rescued tiny kittens, some of whom required bottle-feeding. I've also loved and cared for cats into their senior years and through medical complications. I have experience with administering medications, including insulin to cats, cats with arthritis, and care after major procedures. I love how each of their personalities is so different, and they absolutely have their preferences. I respect all cats and especially love the grumpy and spicy ones. I am always checking litter boxes for healthy potties, water intake, and whether they are eating. I know they can get stressed by change!
“We had a short time window to book care for our two cats, with one needing insulin injections. Sara's info indicated she had experience with cats and injections. We did a video interview, as we weren't able to connect in person before our trip and Sara was able to come to our home to handle all duties without issue. She bonded very well with both cats and they even started looking forward to her visits - greeting her at the front window and door! She notified us of visits, as well as pictures and notes, which we appreciated, being far from home. Will definitely look forward to using Sara again! Thanks Sara Bella and Bree, Mary and Scott”
“Amy is amazing! It’s always nerve racking leaving your babies but when you have someone as awesome as Amy all your worries disappear! Updates, pictures, seeing them running around and playing, so wonderful. I am forever grateful ♥️”

“I was gifted a female Husky and knew that she needed a pack. I started searching Rover and we found Linnea about 6 months ago. She is attentive to my girl Kimbers needs, great with multiple dogs and she has been flexible with my schedule. Both Kimber and myself are very lucky to be part of Linneas pack!”
“Sophia was very kind and welcoming of our pup. We received pics and updates throughout her doggy daycare experience. I felt that our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay.”
“Dropped Teddy off for a couple hours of daycare with Lisa. She was so kind to him, took him for a nice walk and gave him lots of pets. He seemed to have loved his stay. Would definitely recommend Lisa to others seeking quality pet care!”
“Lori made me feel very confident she would take excellent care of Kola. Provided updates throughout the day. Her home is clean and quiet. Highly recommend, will definitely use again!”
“Melissa did an amazing job of caring for our 16 week old puppy Enzo. Her communication was great and made us so comfortable that Enzo was in good hands. Will be booking with here the next time we need care!”
“Such a good experience with Yuliya. Glenn went to her home for daycare. I loved all the pictures and communication. Glenn came home happy and will definitely go back. Definitely recommend!”
“Thank you yet again Kyle and family! Our dog Quincy was excited to visit Coco and all of you. He is always so happy when we pick him up. I'm sure our paths will cross again when we come to visit MN. Best wishes and Thank you again for all the times you provided such special care to Quincy!!”
“Jennifer was amazing, loving, and attentive! When our care plans changed suddenly, she agreed to take our dog in on a 2 hour notice. Agate had the best care and was doted on throughout his stay. I would highly recommned Jennifer as she is professional, an excellent communicator, and a wonderful care giver.”
“Maureen is a very animal loving person. She sent a picture and a video. By the info she provided about Studly I knew he really liked her!!! Even when we dropped him off he made himself at home instead of his usual separation anxiety issue. We highly recommend Maureen and will definitely use her again!!!”
“Christina was super professional and loving and caring with our dog Riley! This was the first time ever leaving him with someone other than family and we were very glad we found Christina! She has lots of room for wooded walks, and an indoor and outdoor play area. We hope to bring Riley back soon so he can start thinking of her and the other dogs as a great play date and extended community of loving care!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including my own. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications if needed, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I adapt to their individual needs and routines to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping pets company, I can easily adapt to their normal routine and give them the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and daily routines. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and close supervision to keep them safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, and even went to Vet Tech school for 1 year. I had a diabetic cat so I am familiar with giving medicine and injections. I work full time from home during the day. I take breaks every hour or so. We are typically home in the evening and weekends to love and play with your animals as well as our own. I have a fenced in back yard and a playful dog to keep your fur baby company while you are away. My dog no longer needs to be kenneled when I am away or at night. I can accommodate whatever you are most comfortable with.
“We are so appreciative of Kira!! She helped us out greatly watching our dog and bringing her home to us while we had our wedding reception. Bernie had lots of fun. Thank you for the pictures and care.”
“Mayumi took very good care of my dog Max and made him feel comfortable at home. He got used to them very quickly and played with her family. They were very nice to him. She posted updates of his activities and shared pictures. I would highly recommend Mayumi if you are looking for a day care for your dog”
“I have no idea where to start with this review! Adam and Leang are such a wonderful couple and they were so good with Lilo. They sent me photos and videos to see how she was doing throughout the day which definitely made me feel at ease and you can definitely tell they love and care for their animals since they treated mine like their own. After our meet and greet Lilo was so excited to see her new friends the next day and passed out after her day was done. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Terry and Samantha took great care of my puppy. They had her for 6 hours and were attentive to all the needs that a small puppy has. I felt very comfortable leaving Bettie with them and will definitely use them again.”

“Amber was a pleasure to work with. She communicated even minor updates, cared so much that she cleaned up a small excitement piddle on the floor, and other things she noticed as things to be aware of. She was kind enough to also move a delivered package indoors for us. We absolutely look forward to future care with Amber as the need arises.”
About: I have been around/taking care of animals since I was 10. Huge passion of mine and deeply devoted. Many family/friends rely on me to look after their pets for days on end! I deal with puppies, sheltered, senior dogs etc! My goal is to keep your animal safe at all times, show love and ensure that everything is ok while you’re away I work full time and I would love to incorporate furry babies the second I can, let me show you! I am available 2pm and forward almost everyday and eager to spend time with some companions and give them the care they need. Upon meeting a dog, I start by showing that I am friendly and not a threat, and letting the animal take the lead and watching their behavior, especially cats. I let them get to know me before anything else.
“Tamany treated my pup with so much care and he loved spending time with her and her daughter. He got so excited seeing them. He knew that he was going to have a great walk. This was my first experience using Rover and I was so worried about trusting my baby with a stranger. Tamany arranged a meet and greet first to make sure that she would be a good fit. I knew within the first 5 minutes that she would be perfect. Thank you Tamany for treating Remmy like he was your pup! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
About: Though I’m new to Rover, I've watched animals for friends, family, and employers for the past 10 years and would love to chat with you to see if I can help you with yours. As a former receptionist at an emergency vet clinic and with extensive experience with my own fur babies, I'm very aware of the health risks to both cats and dogs and have training in recognizing signs of distress. I will work with you to establish an emergency plan beforehand if you are going on extended trips. I also have experience with several vets in the area and even bringing animals to the animal chiropractor. I know that every animal's personality is unique, and routines are important for managing stress. My goal is to be that trustworthy, consistent, and dependable addition to your animal's care team. We always had multiple cats and dogs at one time in my family home growing up. They were more than my animals; they were my brothers and sisters and beloved friends. I've loved and cared for 3 of my cats and 2 of my dogs into their senior years and through medical complications. I have experience with administering medications, including insulin to cats, animals with arthritis, and care after major procedures. I currently have open availability during weekdays M-F. I'm here to provide weekday support via check-ins and walks for busy families, as well as support with home visits if you are on vacation. I do work weekends, so my availability over weekends is limited. I respect all house rules and work with you to get every detail of care, big or small. You set how many updates you’d like to receive when away, but it’s standard for me to write a document of all activity and behavior after each of my visits for you and your vet to reference at any time. I’m happy to do initial home visits to make sure care works for us both.
“Our sweet girl loved having Logan come and walk her every day while we were out of town. Even though my older kids were home, it gave me peace of mind having Logan check in on our sweet girl. The extra attention was greatly appreciated. The updates were helpful. I highly recommend hiring Logan.”
“Meghann has taken my dog out multiple times. Today I came home from work and I noticed that she had cleaned up an accident that my dog had before Meghann arrived to let her out. I feel safe with her knowing where my house key is. She is also very responsive.”
About: I have been a Rover pet sitter since 2023. I will care for cats, small to medium dogs, and small animals. Cats are my speciality. I am also available for dog-walking and dog mid-day let-out. As for small animals, I have experience with guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish. If I haven't had experience with a type of small animal before, please give me very specific instructions and I will thoroughly research the animal and its care before the booking. In my lifetime, I have lived with five cats and four dogs, was the primary caregiver for two cats and my many fish, and helped to care for the other animals throughout their lifespans. Growing up, I attended three summers of horse camp at Camp Kici Yapi and also had one year of English riding lessons. As a young adult, I volunteered at the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire. I have experience with administering tablet, liquid, topical, and eye drop medications, and have been vet-trained to give injected medication such as insulin. I also have experience with specialized diets and with various special needs, and have cared for animals while they were having medical issues. If your pet has some degree of aggression issues, please describe it in your message so I can better determine if I am qualified to care for your pet. Please note that Rover may tell you that I am not available on dates when I actually am if another client is pending a Meet and Greet for a booking with any of the same dates, even if there are no overlapping time slots. Pet sitting is now my full-time job. I have an open schedule and am available from 8am-9pm every day of the week. I am studying to become a translator and I have Japanese lessons three days a week in the evening, but the system has me book time slots every week that can vary, and usually I have enough notice from a client to book the lessons around my pet sitting schedule. However, if I am given shorter notice, I may not be able to move around the lesson times and may have to fulfill an evening visit at an altered time on a particular day. When I arrive for drop-in visits, I hold my supply bag in front of me as I enter the door to prevent cats from escaping. For evening visits, I may also leave a light on at the entrance as another measure against an escape. I store all keys in a designated bag and label them when necessary; I avoid opening the key bag inside the car, where keys could fall into difficult-to-reach places in the car. I maintain the cleanliness of the food and water dishes and litter box each day and clean up any accidents, vomit, or hairballs that I find. If I need to administer oral or topical medication to a shy cat, I will need you to close the doors to certain rooms in the house where the cat can get into more difficult hiding places, and may even need to keep the cat isolated to one room. I will handle old, frail animals more delicately, particularly if I need to grab them for a medication.
“Alex is a wonderful dog walker. We had an older dog who was declining in health. We’d update her on how our dog’s day was going and she would adjust the walk to meet our dog’s needs that day. She is very professional and always got our dog walk in during the time window we had agreed to.”
“Anneka is reliable, a good communicator, very kind and caring. Our puppy gets so excited when she shows up. She has done a great job helping him learn walking manners while burning off energy. Thank you!”
About: Growing up, my parents frequently relied on me to take care of our rat terriers while they were at work - this includes feeding them, taking them out for potty breaks before/ after school, playing with them, etc. Because I’ve been around rat terriers I’m very familiarized with their personalities and high energy levels. I also have experience walking pitbulls and Great Pyrenees breeds, as my boyfriends parents used to own both breeds and I would walk them frequently (: - I also have experience with giving medications to dogs; one of my rat terriers has bad seasonal allergies and receives medication (a liquid) daily with his dinner. Another one of my rat terriers suffered from seizures and would have to receive medication with her food as well. I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs. I understand the importance of maintaining consistent routines and ensuring pets feel safe and cared for. I’m currently working a full time job, however I don’t start work until 2:45pm everyday (off days are Fridays and Saturdays). When I work Sunday-Thursday I’m available to drop in at least one early morning, I can do another drop in in the early afternoon, and another drop in when I get off if needed (I get off at 11pm). On my days off - Friday and Saturdays - I can do numerous drop ins throughout the day. Anytime between early morning to late night. I have two cats of my own. Both are tabby cats, but they have very different personalities. Bean, who is an orange long haired cat, is very skittish, loves to play, enjoys pets but hates being picked up. While Franklin, is a grey short hair, loves cuddles, being next to his people, and would rather play with Bean than his humans. We got Franklin when he was 8 weeks old from my boyfriend’s brother and we fostered then adopted Bean when he was 12 weeks old (about 6 months after getting Franklin). We discovered Franklin loves going outside, so we bought him a cat harness and leash and frequently take him on walks (: Bean is too skittish for this, but he loves to play inside with toy mice and springs (ESPECIALLY springs, those are his favorite 😅)
About: Hello! My name is Gabrielle, I’m 27 years old and I’ve always loved animals. I’ve had animals my whole life. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 8 years old which was when I got my first puppy! I’ve also had plenty of cats over the years and even rats and ferrets. I am very reliable and I will give your animals lots of attention and affection. I love taking walks and your dogs will love taking them with me! I’m currently a stay at home mom and we don’t do a whole lot! I would love to change that by walking, playing and caring for dogs/cats, etc. It would be great for my son to be involved too! You can contact me anytime if you are interested in the services I provide. Thank you! I have a very open schedule. I have a dog myself and some cats so I’m very used to caring for animals! My days are usually very open so I usually am able to work on your schedule! Feeding, walking, playing, brushing, toileting, belly rubs! I can also administer oral medications if needed. If there is anything special or not typical let me know before hand & we can work it out!
About: I am recently returned Peace Corps Panama volunteer with over a decade of experience with my own dogs, as well as caring for others’ dogs. I grew up with a Vizsla, and took a lead role in training her including obedience, agility, and retrieving. This also provided me with extensive experience with very high-energy, as well as anxious dogs. I have experience with all breeds- large, small, high energy, low energy, etc. I also have experience with older and sick dogs. Over a year ago, my childhood dog sadly passed from a serious form of bone cancer. Due to this, she was very fragile and we had to be very careful about helping her and making sure her days were pain-free. I also have experience with temporarily ill dogs. I also have my own dog that I have had since a puppy who I got in Panama. Lastly, my family has recently fostered some dogs, which provided me with experience with nervous and unsocialized dogs. I am currently on a month-long leave before starting a new role with the Peace Corps, and have complete my open availability. I am very flexible, and will make sure your pup receives the love and attention that they deserve! I continuously research dog behavior and training techniques, so I will cater to each individual dog’s needs. I practice positive reinforcement techniques for training and correction. I have experience caring for dogs with a range of medical and mobility needs, so each dog's care plan will be specialized based on what you, the owner, want.
