“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Got frequent updates and our pup seemed to love the environment! Monika was very welcoming and understanding when it came to certain instructions with our dog will definitely go back for future stays:)”
“I’ve never left my Smudge before. Kaitlyn you are a God send! Thank you for the videos to reassure me that he was happy. He obviously loves you! I will only call you for my baby! Highly recommend you for anyone that is nervous about leaving their pet!! ❤️”
“I was very comfortable with Danielle and Chad. My dogs were well cared for, I didn't have a moment of concern. It was the first time leaving Lola, they were patient with her although she was rather skittish. I highly recommend them if you need care for your dogs.”
“Karen is truly incredible. She takes care of your four legged kid like it is her own and does not miss a beat. She gave daily updates, exposed our pup to things he has never been exposed to, and is genuinely a great human being. We are incredibly grateful for the time that we could spend away completely worry free with our dog in Karen’s care.”
“We’re so glad we found Robert to watch our puppy during our first vacation since adopting a dog. Robert was quick to respond to messages and answered all our questions. Our dog loved playing in the fenced yard and made so many new friends! He was well cared for and we enjoyed getting photos, videos and updates during his stay. We’d definitely use Robert again.”
“Did a great job with our dog, gave regular updates of how things were going, and sent pictures. Kyle was also quick and responsive with questions and communication. Overall, great stay for our dog!”
“Katie is great with our two dogs and very accommodating to our schedule when needed. This was our second time with her and we plan to use her again if possible. Thanks from Phoebe and Dexter for a great weekend!”
“Jenny was a great sitter for our little guy. This was our first time using Rover so glad it went well. Always sent me a daily picture & update, which was super nice! Our pup seemed right at home and loved by her and her family. Thx!”
“Our chihuahua/terrier Fitz loved his stays with Lan! He returns to her house with a hop in his step, running full speed ahead into her arms. His behavior says it all - he feels safe and we’ll cared for. What more could we ask? We live out of town and connected with Lan on a family visit - we hope to have Lan care for Fitz in future visits!”
“Patty and Patrick gave our dog so much love during her stay. They are focused on great care and have wonderful communication. They are great pet sitters and I’d highly recommend them to others!”

“Mike has watching our pup a few times. Daisy is an anxious dog but by the end of our vacation, you could tell she was super chill. It was great seeing pics of her throughout our trip. Highly recommend Mike, he’s amazing!”

“Kelly was great with our two cats! She handled the older cat’s medication well and was patient with the shyer 2 year old cat. We really appreciated getting pictures and updates on the cats while we were gone. Couldn’t ask for better peace of mind while on vacation”
“Rylan is an exceptional pet sitter. We have two very skittish cats, one of whom is nearly feral, and she took gentle care not to spook them. She also handled unique litter box issues without batting an eye. She is intelligent, anticipates needs, and highly responsible. I wish I could give her ten stars in this app!”
“Stephanie was very kind and easy to work with! I very much appreciated her willingness to not only check in on my cats but check on my fish tanks as well. Would definitely recommend!”
“Andria checked in on my cats for 3 long weekends this month. She sent nice notes detailing how the cats were doing along with plenty of photos. I appreciated her communication along with all the time she spent playing with them. I was extremely happy to know the cats were in good hands while I was away, and I would definitely use her services again in the future!”
“Kelly was very friendly and professional. She gave attention to each of our cats as they needed. Where there were issues we hadn't prepared for, Kelly did a great job solving them without us. We'd be happy to have her sit for us again.”
“Monika is great! We look forward to booking her again in the future. We, and the cats, loved having Monika check in. The cats gave her rave reviews. They were so well cared for while we were away. Our older cat got the support and her medication that she needs. Our younger shy cat came each time she stopped in, and seemed to really enjoy her visits. Monika was great to send pictures and updates to us. We appreciate Monika and her reliable and outstanding cat care!”
“Paige gave thorough updates, and was very detail oriented. My cats were in a much better mood than they usually are when I return from a trip. She clearly gave them all the attention they needed in my absence. Would book again!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!”
“She was amazing with Beans. Love the daily pictures. Super thoughtful, brought in some packages that were left out in the rain for us. Very happy with the service.”
“Lyndsy was wonderful! Very friendly and great with my cats! She even bonded with my very, very shy cat who still hides from some of my family members! Hire Lyndsy, you and your pets will be in good hands!”
“Valerie was outstanding! I have used Rover for years, and she is by far the most exceptional caregiver I've had. Valerie was highly motivated, resourceful in befriending my cat and kind. I was incredibly impressed with Valerie!”
“Jenny is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Louie. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident from the moment she started. She sent updates with photos of Louie, showing him looking happy and content. Not only did Jenny follow Louie's feeding schedule meticulously, but she also spent quality time playing with him and giving him the attention he needs. She noticed his favorite spots around the house and made sure to give him scratches and pets just where he likes them. What impressed me most was her conscientiousness. She kept the litter box impeccably clean and even noticed when Louie was being a bit shy and knew exactly how to coax him out with his favorite toys. She left detailed notes about his daily activities, eating habits, and general mood. I returned home to find a happy, well-cared-for cat who clearly had been given lots of love and attention. Jenny's professional yet caring approach gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. She's truly a gem!”
“Julia has taken care of my cat several times while I'm traveling and I've known her for 2 years. She is extremely reliable, detail-oriented, and loves all animals. I would trust her with any pet of mine and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Our Aussie/Border collie had a delightful time at doggy daycare every day for a week. Jessica and her husband were very communicative, prompt and sent photos. They were patient working through our dog's anxiety on the second day (when he realized this was not just a one-off play date), and he ended up happy and comfortable the rest of the week, playing all day with their resident dog and another friend. We'd recommend them as excellent dogsitters and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”
“Kelly has been great with Coco! Because she has other dogs, Coco had the opportunity to socialize and have a ton of playtime. When I would pick her up in the evenings, she was so mellow which is saying a lot for an energetic puppy. Kelly kept me updated with pics of Coco throughout the day. We will definitely use her again!”
“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”
“We had such a great experience with Giovana! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was clear that Kit was well cared for and loved — Giovana truly treated her like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Cate and Tim and Ainsley were great to Murphy and their place was a perfect playground. Murphy came home happy and tired. It was our first Rover and she had no stress. Highly recommend them!”
“Emily’s process is a little front heavy in reading the welcome packet and instructions - but I honestly rather this and feel great about where I’m leaving my dog than sitters who are so easy going that I’m nervous how carefully they watch my dog. She sent a lot of photos which was awesome!! My dog played with other dogs and came home tired.”
“This was Jack's first stay at Mike's and it went very well. I received numerous pics and Jack came home a happy dog...and a little tired!! It was a very good day! Looking forward to booking Mike many more times. An excellent place for Jack !!”
“Russell and Linda took our dog on short notice. They were a big help. They have a lovely fenced yard and safe protocols in place. He was happy and safe when we picked him up.”

“Our timid (and somewhat anxious) Wilbur had a wonderful afternoon with Phillip. They went for a walk, played ball in his fenced yard and then relaxed on Phil's couch together. Wilbur was tired (in a satisfied sort of way) when he came home. Phillip was quick to respond to messages and sent photos during their visit. We look forward to dropping Wilbur with Phil in the future.”

I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.
“So thankful Monika was available to take our sweet/energetic pup for a few walks while we had some unexpected shifts in our normal routine! She’s an awesome communicator, and I could tell right away by how my dog interacted with her at our meet & greet it would be a good fit ❤️ thank you so much and we look forward to having you back in the future!!”
“I am so happy I chose Carolyn. My dog sometimes takes a while to warm up to people, but she liked Carolyn right away. Carolyn is an excellent and prompt communicator, which I really appreciate; my dog always looks so happy when Carolyn sends me pictures from their walks. Thank you so much for all your hard work, Carolyn!!”
About: Dogs have always held such a special place in my heart. I had my own dog for 9 wonderful years before sadly losing her, and I’ve also spent years caring for my brother’s dogs. I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and have lots of experience with American Akitas, so big dogs don’t scare me! I love getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic, goofy, shy, or the ultimate cuddle bug. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and belly rubs while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday until 3 PM, but I’m available afterward and have open weekends. I’m happy to plan around your pet’s routine and my upcoming fall classes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want both the pet and their home to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. I’ll always respect their space and belongings, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure pets are supervised and safe. I’ll also keep the home clean and tidy and communicate with the owner so they feel comfortable and updated while they’re away.
