“David is wonderful with our cavapoo Teddy. He made sure Teddy has a lot of activities. Our puppy enjoyed his time with the company of David’s dogs. David is very responsive to messages. He provided updates with pictures. Our puppy enjoyed his spring break at David’s house. We were not worried because we knew he was in excellent hands. We will definitely use David for dog boarding again.”
“We have used Elizabeth and Erik multiple times now! They treat our dog like their own and he always comes home worn out from all the great playing and attention they offer him!”

“Sophia was very responsive to messages! She gave me an update when I checked on my dog and I felt like her and her family were very capable in caring for him. She gave him his allergy medications and tried to ease his nervousness.”
“Buddy enjoyed his stay! Great fenced in yard to run and play with the other dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and updates while we were away. Buddy came home ready to nap after having so much fun! Will definitely stay again. Thank you! Carrie & Dan”

Patti sent us fun text messages and photos everyday of our happy boy. He was well taken care of and loved in their care.”
“Nicole is honestly the best river. Her and her family love my dog when they watch her, and she is treated like a part of the family. I love getting the picture updates from Nicole and I know my dog is in good hands with her.”
“Jessica took wonderful care of my dog Minnie over a holiday weekend. Jessica was flexible, a great communicator from start to finish, and sent me regular photo updates- all of which was SO appreciated. When we got home Minnie was happy and exhausted from a weekend of fun so I could tell she had a great time. I know Minnie was in great hands with Jessica, and we would be happy to book again with her in the future!”

We could tell our dog Piper was having a great time and getting plenty of attention!! Highly recommend Jackie for your future boarding needs!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I care for every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with a large, active German Shepherd and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. While I do have a resident dog, every pet's comfort and safety comes first. My home allows dogs to be separated when needed, and I'm happy to provide individual walks, feeding routines, and personalized attention so every dog has a positive experience. What sets me apart is my communication and attention to detail. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where your pet is treated like family. I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I work from home several days each week and have flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and prioritize keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience so your pet feels right at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I also have a friendly resident German Shepherd who enjoys other dogs, so guest dogs should be comfortable around larger breeds. That said, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. My home is set up so dogs can be separated if needed, and I always supervise introductions and interactions. I'm happy to provide individual walks, feed according to your dog's normal schedule, administer oral medications if needed, and accommodate crate routines if that's what your dog is used to. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. We have a toddler in our home (who has grown up with our dog and is respectful), so guest dogs should be comfortable around young children. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and family members.
“Ian was an amazing sitter for our dog. He took notes during our meet and greet and sent pictures daily. I felt at ease leaving our dog. I actually think she was kinda sad leaving him and coming home...lol.”
“We highly recommend Chee and Ju for all your pet sitting needs! From the start, they were very accommodating and kept us updated with photos throughout the four nights Bentley was with them. We appreciate everything they did for us and will definitely use them again. Bentley was well loved and got plenty of attention and exercise!”
“Pamela did a superb job with our little dog. She sent pics, videos and daily updates. He came back looking brushed which I really appreciated. I'd recommend her a thousand times over!”
“Could not have asked for a better family to watch Bo. They were kind and sent so many updates. We never had to worry about him, which allowed us to enjoy our trip! 🩷”
“An absolutely amazing experience ! First time ever using Anna and Rover.com for my 9mo. Golden Retriever Trump! We had lots of communication and pictures daily! I’m so happy I chose her and will definitely book with Anna again!”

“Rachel is an excellent sitter. She gave us the reassurance our cats were in good care while we were away, and made the two-week trip that much more enjoyable with the added peace of mind. As a fellow two-cat owner, she could anticipate any quirks and needs that may arise. The care plan was well executed, excellent communication, and everything was tidy when we returned. Made it a little less hard to be away from our little guys! Will book again in the future.”
“Dexter and Savannah both give Amanda 4 out of 4 paws! Amanda had great communication, took photos everyday, and I came home to cats in the best they've ever been in after a long trip. HIGHLY recommend! She's a great sitter”
“Tina is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats, who are so sweet but also high maintenance and she did so well! They both had accidents and she cleaned them, plus set up treats and puzzles for them which I appreciated so much. I am most definitely reaching out anytime I need a sitter, thank you Tina!”
“Georgia was amazing! She gave regular updates and cute photos of the cats. One of my cats had diarrhea, but Georgia kept thorough updates on how she was doing. Already booked for another visit!”
About: From dogs to cats (and even a bearded dragon), I've done it all. I understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your animal with someone you barely know so I'll do the following to make sure you can feel confident your pets are being well taken care of while you're away: - Multiple updates throughout the day confirming eating and bathroom habits - Pictures of the activities we've been up to - A detailed daily plan developed to make sure we never miss a beat with their normal routine Reach out so we can develop a plan that meets your needs! Im free for walks after work during week days which is typically around 5 PM (depending if I'm working from home or on-site). On Thursday and Friday, I have midday availability depending on travel distance - reach out and we can talk through details! I'm much more free on weekends so with notice I can make just about anything work! As an owner of a very large (German Shepard/Great Pyr mix) dog, I'm very familiar with the worries of a pet parent. I will treat your animal like my own and can handle even the largest of them (including pullers and reactive dogs).
“Jenna was great! She was able to fit us in her schedule to take care of our 2 cats for a week. The fellas got food and plays and pets, and the sulking & lecturing period when we got back was pretty short this time!”
“Top notch care for our fur babies. Would definitely recommend Shelley and will use her again. She is very thorough with making sure she understands what each pets needs are. Loved all the pictures and updates. Our cats are rescues and can be very cautious with new people but warmed up very quickly to Shelley.”
“This is my third time having Kim as a sitter. I forgot to turn the house alarm off and Kim handled it very calmly and professionally. She stayed by my cat’s side and comforted him until I found a way to turn off the alarm. I’m very grateful for her help!”
About: I love animals of all ages. I have no specific preference on age at all. I have my own anxious pup who has taught me a lot; so the anxious pups have a special place in my heart! I work full time as a PCA so I am available in the afternoons/evening typically around 5pm and anytime during the weekends (Saturdays & Sundays). I am able to help out with dog specific training; i.e “sit” “stay” “come”, etc. With the owners ways and regulations. I will also take walks, play fetch or even a game of tug-a-war! Special diets and eating habits do not bother me at all!
About: I was lucky enough to grow up around cats to understand the joy they bring and why those labeled as "childless cat ladies" are quite a catch for those looking for love! Cats love in a unique way and while they are very self sufficient, you can tell they get such a kick knowing you've come home as they run to greet you at the door. As cats are low maintenance, I see my cat clients either once or twice a day depending on your preferred feeding style. During a typical 30-60 minute stay I will clean and replenish their food and water dishes, clean the litterbox, and give them the attention they crave. Upon leaving I always like to have soft music playing and make sure there is a light source on if the owners won't be home in the evening hours. One of my current cat clients has special needs and requires assistance using the bathroom and I take the upmost care with her so she feels safe with me during a time that is stressful for her. I'm a gentle soul that cats seem to respond to well.
About: As a lifelong cat lover, I bring a wealth of experience and confidence in caring for our feline friends. From nail trimming and administering medication to feeding and, of course, providing endless cuddles and affection, I make it my mission to ensure each cat feels loved and comfortable. I understand that every cat has its own unique personality, and I pride myself on catering my care to meet their individual needs. Whether your cat is adventurous, shy, or somewhere in between, I create a nurturing environment that makes them feel at home. I’m excited to share my passion for cat care with you and your furry companion!
“Yuanqing (Ping Ping) was extraordinary! My cats are quite shy, but she kept me updated on them, and even managed to make friends with them! Really remarkable level of service. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I will be sure to request her services the next time I have to leave town.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I currently have 4 amazing dogs of my own, I foster and volunteer for a local rescue so I have worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and needs. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, play time, or calm companionship, I’m here to give your dog all the care, love and attention they deserve while you are away. I believe in treating every dog like my own-with patience, kindness and fun. I provide regular updates and photos, so you'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I'll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and happy. Let's set up a meet & greet-l'd love to meet you and your furry best friend! I currently work full time so am available any day after 3 to bring your pup for a walk, feed them or bring them to my house to play with my dogs. I can make any night work for overnight care. I live in a dog-loving home with a secure, dog-friendly environment. My own dogs are well-socialized and friendly, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I am also available to come to your home to take care of your dog if preferred.
“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”
About: I’ve provided pet sitting and care for multiple dogs, and cats including feeding, walking, and maintaining routines for friends, family and even people around my neighborhood. I’ve loved animals since childhood, and even had my own lab for 16 years who I loved to the moon and back but sadly passed away late 2024. I know older animals require a certain level of attention and care. I love staying active, and high energy animals and I get along great! I do not mind larger animals. I have consistent availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with additional flexible availability throughout the week depending on my schedule. I’m great with planning ahead and keeping a reliable routine with my clients! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I maintain feeding schedules, regular walks, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I always aim to keep their environment calm, consistent, and familiar. I also provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I grew up with labs and ultimately wanted lap dogs once I moved out of my parents home. When I was 20 (in college housing) I was crazy enough to get a puppy! My little dachshund made me the most popular student on campus, shortly thereafter I adopted a min pin because being an only child can get lonely! Both my dogs lived to be 20! They recently passed away and we have been missing that part of our family and aren’t yet ready to commit to new furry pets. My daughter is 9 and has done quite a bit of dog sitting already, she is all hands on deck (with supervision) and will surely spoil your pups! We’ve had dogs overnight at our house, done overnights at others home as well as done check ins and day visits. I have experience with administering meds (pills and shots), making special diets, bathing, nail clipping, ear cleaning, teeth brushing and all the typical dog Mom stuff! We like dogs of all sizes and ages! We love to go for long walks and explore nature or play a game of chase or fetch. I work a flexible schedule Monday - Friday and like to stay busy so would be able to accommodate most requests depending on location and advanced notice. We do not currently have any furry pets in our home so your dog(s) would be our main priority! We have a large downstairs basement if your dog has a lot of energy and would get them outside for good exercise as well.

“Benji gets along great with David! The photos of his daycare stay were much appreciated. And is flexible with pick up times with my crazy work schedule it is very much appreciated. Overall great stay and would recommend!”
“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.”

“Amanda did an awesome job taking care of my husky, Kenji. He got plenty of exercise and he knocked out all night when I picked him up. Amanda was so nice she took Kenji on such short noticed. I would definitely recommend Amanda and use her services again!”
“Cassie watched my dog for about 2 months every day while I was at work after my dog needed some time to adjust to a new living situation. Cassie was wonderful, she left detailed reports of the day, and my dog really liked Cassie and her dogs. I would absolutely recommend Cassie!”
“Melissa watched Rico on 6/13. Rico is shy and somewhat anxious. Melissa did a great job of making him feel comfortable outside before bringing him in to meet her other dogs. Melissa did a great job at providing me with up-to-date information. Rico had a great day at Melissas!”
“Dave is very caring and will love your pet! He has a great back yard with a very tall fence. I have appreciated Doggy Day Care and boarding with Dave. I will be sure to book with him again!”
“Great sitter. Very nice and sends pictures and videos throughout the day. Took great care of my dog and he got to play with another dog all day. She took him on multiple walks and to the dog park.”
“We love Rochelle and her beautiful furry baby Mya! They are both so loving and kind and my little guy really enjoys his time with them! Thank you so much Rochelle, you are wonderful! Thank you for all the love and sweetness and awesome picture updates! We look forward to our next visit with you both soon! 5 stars!!”
“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!”
“Pamela was great! She welcomed a meeting before dog sitting, and asked care questions. Arlington played well with my dog, and they have a great fenced in backyard for running around!”
“Amber did a great job with our husky who has separation anxiety for an evening! She was super communicative before and during her time with her. She was very thorough about any instructions or asking about anything Izze might need. Izze is a top notch escape artist, so Ambers fully fenced in yard did a good job containing her. She sent photos during the evening and I’m sure Izze had a great time playing with her sweet kids. We would not hesitate to bring Izze back to Amber and her family in the future!”

My goal is to make being away from your pet a little easier by giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands.
“Rochelle has been wonderful with our Rocco. He’s a 12-YO rescue chihuahua who knows what he likes and will let you know what he doesn’t. Rochelle has taken the extra time to get to know us and Rocco, and has been very patient with him as they get to know one another. We know Rocco is in great hands with her!”

I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to walk times, to help them feel secure and relaxed. I always do a safety check of the space, keep hazardous items out of reach, and make sure pets are never left unsupervised outside. In your home, I treat your space with respect and aim to leave it just as I found it. I also provide regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve loved animals all my life and love caring for them! 🩷 I previously worked as a Pet Care Technician and cared for dogs and cats each day of the week. I have the skills to handle dogs of all sizes and breeds. My schedule is open in the mornings & afternoons and occasional evenings.

I can also do any feeding or other activities that are wanted.
About: I have grown up with cats, dogs, cows, horses. We lived on a hobby farm and my grandparents had a Dairy Farm. I have always enjoyed playing with cats and dogs! If I'm unavailable my middle child would love to help watch your fur family. Copy and paste her link into your web browser if I am unavailable. Https://www.rover.com/members/zoey-a-love-to-hang-with-furry-friends/ If I am unavailable my middle child is home from college and would also love to help take care of your fur family. https://www.rover.com/sit/robina30590 I currently have every other weekend off with a variable job. I am looking for very part time work. I enjoy animals and thought it would be fun to help drop in visits, cat sit the occasional dog walk. If I am unavailable, my middle child is home from college and would also love to take care of your fur family. https://www.rover.com/sit/robina30590 I have a fenced in back yard for my dog. I enjoy dog walking. My pet has his own kennel/ room where we leave his door open unless we leave the house. He has freedom to roam the house, he is house trained. He loves going for walks at dog parks with my sister and her dogs!
“Kevin was simply AMAZING. I recently reached out to Kevin for dog walking and pet sitting services the first time with just 2 days of notice. We were in a major bind. Kevin responded within minutes and accepted! We setup a "Meet and Greet" for the next day, and he showed up promptly on time. I told Kevin about the past experiences I've had with other pet sitters either not showing up or coming late because of double booking with other clients. He reassured me that would not happen with me and his other clients. I have two Siberian Huskies and they instantly LOVED Kevin. He got right down on the floor with them and was petting them! He is a natural with dogs! I felt very comfortable having Kevin in my house. I reviewed the routine that I and my dogs like, and Kevin eagerly paid attention to the detail I provided. The very next day was the dog walking and pet sitting appointment. Kevin arrived EXACTLY on time and even sent me a txt msg so I could be relieved to know my Huskies were getting the attention they deserved, AT THE TIME they were promised!!! When I returned home at the end of the day, the house was all in order, the dogs water bowls (all 3 of them) had been refilled!!!, and my dogs seemed happy! Throughout the pet sitting, Kevin provided great communication with txt msg's, and pics of my Huskies. Again, I feel very comfortable with Kevin in our home, and would book him when we need a pet sitter for overnight stays as well. I absolutely love his communication and feel it's what most pet owners want. I am so glad to have found Kevin and will reach out to him for ALL of our future pet sitting needs.”
“Stefan is great with my pups! He's patient with them and has been a lifesaver helping me out while im on bed rest. Clear communication, on time and reliable. 10/10... I would recommend using his services!💕”
“Danielle is such a great hit with our boys. They always look forward to seeing her because she takes care of them exactly how we would. She is an exceptional dog sitter/walker.”

About: I'm super flexible, and welcome all sizes and ages like they are my own! For all my life I have loved animals and I have experience with all types of animals, but dogs are my soft spot:) I have a lot of knowledge (and have done years of research) on dog behavior and cues, handling, etc! I like to prioritize pet sitting! Because of that, I am free 6 days out of the week to do drop ins or walks for your fur baby: Monday✅, Tuesday✅, Wednesday✅, Thursday✅, Friday✅ I have a nice big fenced yard! And a friendly, sweet, & small Yorkie-Poodle mix dog, she's 8 years old and gets along very well with dogs and cats (she is spayed!). I have my license and own car, so I'll even take your furry friend to the dog park or on nature trails with me! (Unless told not to) I am also able to come to you:)
“Kim was awesome. She walked my two dogs and also played with them in the back yard, so they would go potty, since they don't always go during their walks. Above and beyond!! Thank you so much Kim!!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I care for every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with a large, active German Shepherd and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. While I do have a resident dog, every pet's comfort and safety comes first. My home allows dogs to be separated when needed, and I'm happy to provide individual walks, feeding routines, and personalized attention so every dog has a positive experience. What sets me apart is my communication and attention to detail. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where your pet is treated like family. I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I work from home several days each week and have flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and prioritize keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience so your pet feels right at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I also have a friendly resident German Shepherd who enjoys other dogs, so guest dogs should be comfortable around larger breeds. That said, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. My home is set up so dogs can be separated if needed, and I always supervise introductions and interactions. I'm happy to provide individual walks, feed according to your dog's normal schedule, administer oral medications if needed, and accommodate crate routines if that's what your dog is used to. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. We have a toddler in our home (who has grown up with our dog and is respectful), so guest dogs should be comfortable around young children. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and family members.
About: I grew up with labs and ultimately wanted lap dogs once I moved out of my parents home. When I was 20 (in college housing) I was crazy enough to get a puppy! My little dachshund made me the most popular student on campus, shortly thereafter I adopted a min pin because being an only child can get lonely! Both my dogs lived to be 20! They recently passed away and we have been missing that part of our family and aren’t yet ready to commit to new furry pets. My daughter is 9 and has done quite a bit of dog sitting already, she is all hands on deck (with supervision) and will surely spoil your pups! We’ve had dogs overnight at our house, done overnights at others home as well as done check ins and day visits. I have experience with administering meds (pills and shots), making special diets, bathing, nail clipping, ear cleaning, teeth brushing and all the typical dog Mom stuff! We like dogs of all sizes and ages! We love to go for long walks and explore nature or play a game of chase or fetch. I work a flexible schedule Monday - Friday and like to stay busy so would be able to accommodate most requests depending on location and advanced notice. We do not currently have any furry pets in our home so your dog(s) would be our main priority! We have a large downstairs basement if your dog has a lot of energy and would get them outside for good exercise as well.
About: Countless friends and family have asked me to watch their pets while they're out of town especially last minute. I respect and care about each pet, trying to make them as happy and comfortable as possible. I work remotely a few days per week and available on weekends. Schedule can be flexible depending on service. Also tend to be available on holidays. When I visit a client's home, I keep it the same as when I came in. I respect and keep their home clean and try to have the pets as comfortable as possible.
“We have been having Emma be our rover sitter for a good handful of weeks and we love her! Most importantly, Luna, our pup, adores Emma. I would 100% recommend Emma and truly trust her with my pup. So thankful for her and how well she loves our little Luna 💖”
“I'm happy to have chosen Joseph to walk my Husky, Maya! He would always show up for our designated time and day to walk Maya, no matter how cold it was. which I really appreciate. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to walk their dog as I always knew she was in good hands. Thank you Joseph!”
“Tiffani took on my big dog, 70lbs. We scheduled a 30 minute walk as a one time appointment. I just needed that one appointment while I healed after surgery. She spent extra time getting to know Buddy and it was overall a very positive experience. Thank you Tiffani.”

“David is wonderful with our cavapoo Teddy. He made sure Teddy has a lot of activities. Our puppy enjoyed his time with the company of David’s dogs. David is very responsive to messages.

We will definitely use David for dog boarding again.”

“Ian was an amazing sitter for our dog. He took notes during our meet and greet and sent pictures daily. I felt at ease leaving our dog. I actually think she was kinda sad leaving him and coming home...lol.”
“We highly recommend Chee and Ju for all your pet sitting needs! From the start, they were very accommodating and kept us updated with photos throughout the four nights Bentley was with them. We appreciate everything they did for us and will definitely use them again. Bentley was well loved and got plenty of attention and exercise!”
“Pamela did a superb job with our little dog. She sent pics, videos and daily updates. He came back looking brushed which I really appreciated. I'd recommend her a thousand times over!”

“This was my first ever experience leaving my dog with someone I wasnt familiar with. Michelle was perfect. I never had a second of worry and it was fantastic seeing so many photos of my dog being so happy and having a great time. 100% will be back when we have another trip. The rating is only 5 stars but shes a 10 star person 100%”
