“Thank you Kj ! This was coco's 3rd stay with Kj. It is so great to be able to drop coco off & have absolutely no doubt that she will be happy, safe & well taken care of. She has a blast & comes home happily tuckered out.”
“If we could rate higher than 5 stars, we would. Ramanda and her family took such good care of our dogs, Punky and Elmer. When we have left our dogs with caregivers in the past at times we have worried about their care. We can honestly say we had absolutely no worries with Ramanda and her family taking care of our boys. Communication and attention to details about their feeding schedule, etc. etc. were excellent. Bottom line is that they really, really care about animals and the quality of care they provide. Ramanda sent many pictures of Punky and Elmer with all family members involved with them. Her girls provided so much attention and love that was so much appreciated. It's nice to know your pets will be well taken care of when having to leave them behind. Thank-you.”
“Kona had a great stay with Brittany. She was responsive when we missed Kona and needed a photo or two and she had great communication about each day. I would recommend her to friends.”
“This was our first stay with Jared and Tayler and it went great! I almost forgot he was there - which is saying lot because I usually worry the first time. We got pictures and updates and communication with Tayler and Jared was superb. Oscar is staying again soon and can't wait!”
“What a blessing Trace is! Her place couldn't be better suited for dog care. A huge fenced in yard front pirch & dog run. She also has 4 Basset hounds!! Lily took immediate attention to Teddy. Such a wonderful time she had.She is so kind, knowledgeable and detailed oriented. My 3 mo Great Pyrenees...Lily Lu felt right @ home. Didn't even look back at me to say goodbye! I have her on speed dial and looking forward to many outings to her home for Lily Lu! She's the best!! So is her grandson, Evan!”
“Rene was terrific with my dog King. He had never been anywhere overnight before except with family members so I was a little nervous because he doesn’t do well with strangers. Rene won his confidence and mine. Thanks Rene.”
“Brenda and Alvin were the perfect fit our dog. We feel lucky to have found them on Rover. They are former dog owners and clearly enjoy them. The daily photo’s they sent and text updates left us at ease, able to enjoy our vacation without worry. We’ll definitely reach out again.”
“Dayjah was great. We had booked with a different Rover originally for the Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, they were unable to dogsit for use at the last minute. Dayjah came to the rescue. She was very communicative, and sent daily updates and lots of pictures. Her home was perfect for Koda, with a big fenced yard for him to explore. Thanks again!”
“Dee Dee (and her family!) take such amazing care of my sweet pup. He’s 15,high anxiety and semi-blind, so he needs particular care and Dee Dee is it! He is comfortable and relaxed which makes leaving him so much easier.”
“Kay and family was definitely a godsend in my last minute attempt to find care for my dog, Henry. Daily updates with pictures and videos and great communication helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. My dog has special needs in the center where he has attachment issues and there was always somebody home at Kay‘s house to be with Henry and her family is just as calming and sweet as what you would picture from her description and photos. Not only a great dog sitter but an amazing human being in life! Can’t thank you all enough!”
“Yuliya did a great job of taking care of Tommy Boy! She sent frequent pictures to reassure us that Tommy was being taken care of. We will definitely be using Yuliya again. Cathy H”

“Thank you Regan for taking great care of Rax! I feel completely comfortable leaving him with you and he’s a happy tired boy after he returns home. The updates and pictures are always appreciated. I’m also grateful for your flexibility and compassion. See you again soon :)”
“Amy is beyond amazing!!! I would not second guess leaving my pet with her. She is such a caring person and it shows from her skills she has with pets. Amy was so welcoming to my pup and cared for her. She was also very flexible when I had to extend my dogs stay for longer than expected. She even got my dog to eat, and she sometimes has anxiety being in new places. Amy sends pictures and updates of your pet. She did an amazing job!!”
“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!!”

About: I truly care for each cat I watch and treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own pets. Having experience with cats of different personalities, I understand how important it is to honor their space, routines, and comfort. I’m especially patient with shy, independent, or sensitive cats, and I take a calm, gentle approach to help them feel at ease. I also stay consistent with feeding, litter box care, and daily routines to ensure they remain comfortable and stress-free. My goal is always to create a calm environment where each cat feels safe, understood, and cared for throughout every visit. I am not available for drop-in visits on Wednesdays from 3 pm. to 11 pm.
About: I haven had dogs in my house and taken care of them since I was 7 years old. I've participated in training classes with my black lab as a puppy, as well as daily dog chores like walking, feeding, and brushing. I also have experience taking care of injured and elderly dogs. Along with caring for my own pets, I've also pet sat for neighbors and friends before. These visits included walks, play time, feeding, brushing, etc. This summer I have a part time nanny job, so I will have plenty of extra time to take care of your fur babies! I will be available weekdays after 4pm and all day on the weekends. I understand that dogs can be hesitant when stranger enter their home, but try to greet new pets slowly and friendly and give them all the sniffs they need.
“Lisa is the most wonderful sitter! She sent super cute pics and great updates, and was able to give pills to one of our kitties. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: I currently have my own cat, Frankie, and grew up with cats my whole life. I understand that every cat is unique, some are social butterflies, others prefer their space and I'm happy to follow their lead! I love giving cats the attention and care they deserve, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company on their terms.
“Autumn took such good care of our cat while we were away on vacation! Having her visit and check on our cat gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town. Highly recommend Autumn to care for your cat!”
“Madelyn was wonderful with Lucy! She’s calm, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with timid cats. Lucy was well cared for, and communication was great throughout. We’d absolutely book Madelyn again and highly recommend her.”
“Alexandra was a tremendous caregiver to our cats, Millie and Maggie!! Millie was sick just before we left for our 2-week trip to Japan and had daily "accidents" all over the house while we were gone. Alexandra cleaned up the mess, showing us pictures of "before and after" the clean-up. Her remarkable care will never be forgotten! She was also able to coax our very shy Maggie out to give some treats. That's never happened before. Thank you, Alex!!”
“Another great pet sitting by Chasity! 🤩 She leaves great report cards of her visits with a bunch of pictures. I love that my three kitties come out to see her, follow her around & rub on her to get some pets when she visits. They really like her! Thanks, Chasity!”
“Regan went way beyond normal customer service by alarming us immediately that something was wrong with our furnace. The most important thing. though is how much she cared and loved our two precious kittens . She dropped in every day and made sure they received playtime with her, cleaned litter, replaced food and water. She captured beautiful photos and we couldn't wait to receive them. There is no question that Regan is our "go-to love sitter" in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little, in my household I was responsible for, feeding, bathing, walking, and caring for them. I will be freelancing over the summer so I have lots of time to care for your animals! I am free on the weekends and during the weekdays later in the day! I have experience crating dogs and keeping an eye on them to make sure of their safety. I have walked all different sizes of dog as well.
About: I’m an animal lover, and being away from my sister’s pup, I love to take care of animals whenever I can! I have taken care of a wide range of dogs including those needing oral medication, caring for dogs who are older, blind, and deaf. I have also dogsat for dogs on the other side of the spectrum that need multiple walks a day and are full of energy! I’m currently a full time student at CSU, so I would ideally love to hang with your pups on the weekends! I can also be available during the week, but I will be bouncing between class and ensuring your dog gets all the care they need. I grew up with a dog in the house who was a rescue pup and crate-trained! I prefer to be home as much as I can with clients’ dogs and taking them on runs or walks. I’m also totally down to relax with your pup (especially the older ones), really whatever they need!
About: Savannah here! I have three dogs and an orange kitty of my own, and i have been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and quirks. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love.

Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!
“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”

“Our dog is an energetic dog that also needs some supervising and Tracy’s place was a great doggy daycare spot for his needs! She has a big fenced in yard that he can run around in, and dogs that he can play with! Would recommend”
About: Dogs are lovable and a helping career is fulfilling. By helping humans with their canines I get the best of both worlds! Dogs have always been apart of my life, and recently we had our own 13yo mutt who came as a puppy, had a long full life, and passed away in my husband’s arms. Before that we had another mutt that lived to be 16yo, but she was a pound puppy we got at about 2yo. Also, our dog-niece lived with us for January 2024 while her parents vacationed. I love to love-on peoples’ dogs. Let's chat soon. I’ll be at your home when you need me to care for your feline furbaby. Most cats in my care have been drop-ins, including feeding, watering, and cat box cleaning. Cats with dog siblings have been an occasional treat to care for, as well. Just show me the ropes and I will do my best to copy what you do for your cat(s). Teach me your ways, Sensei!
“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”
“Yuliya is such a good sitter. Great communication on dates and pickup times. Toby loves going over and very tired after playing so much. And our family can't wait to see the fun pictures each time!”
“Lori is watching my boy goose for a longer stay coming up in a few months so we did a daycare day for a trial to get him acclimated etc. Lori is phenomenal with communication and the sweetest picture updates. It was so helpful to know goose was happy and healthy while I was in office all day with meetings and he can’t wait to play with her pup jiggs again! I would absolutely recommend Lori for any and all of your pet sitting needs!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. With decades of experience as a pet owner and sitter, I know how to keep tails wagging and owners worry-free. I work from home full-time, so I can be home with your furry friend all day. I can give walks at any time and provide care whenever they need it. Dogs in our home are welcome to roam free if they are house-trained. We allow dogs in all parts of our house. We can set up gates or crates if you prefer your dog to have their own space.
“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”
“Ryker loved his day staycation with Kate, John and Cash. He was a tired, happy pup that evening. He will stay for a long weekend coming up soon. I am sure he is going to have a great time.”
“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!”
“Kate did an outstanding job with Checkers today. She took him on a walk, enjoying the beautiful day. I got several pictures of him with other dog friends and pictures with a five-year-old and also with an adult male. He came home tired but satisfied. That means he had a good day.”
“Julie is the best, very responsive and so way going. She has built a level of trust with us and our dogs. She's reliable, and adjusts to just about everything. I truly feel at ease when she watches them.”

About: I have a Lab/Golden Retriever mix, an Australian Shepherd, and two Ragdoll cats, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I have experience with both high-energy dogs and calm indoor cats, and I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. I regularly go on runs and walks with my dogs and am comfortable handling energetic dogs that need extra exercise, structure, and attention. I also have experience with leash reactivity, which has taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and reading dog body language during walks and outings. I put a lot of attention, patience, and care into every animal I watch. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just having a calm and steady presence nearby, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own and provide dependable care, communication, and photo updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. I also appreciate knowing important information about your pet ahead of time, including routines, triggers, medical needs, and favorite activities, so I can provide the best care possible. I am not available for drop-in visits or walks on Wednesdays from 3 pm. to 11 pm. This summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule since I’m home from college and not currently working another job. That allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care during the weekdays. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, and I enjoy building pet care into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely love. When caring for pets during drop-in visits or walks, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their usual routine. I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship during each visit. I always take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I also make sure owners stay updated with communication and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I share my genuine love for long walks and outdoor adventures—because a tired dog is a happy dog! I pair that exercise with plenty of treats, endless smiles, and lots of love. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a playful romp, I make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and truly cared for every step of the way I have a full time remote (work from home) career with flexibility to add some walks and cuddles to my day. I am able to drop in for a walk/feeding/attention or I can accommodate extra furry friends at our home. I am a wife and mom of an active family of 5 with 3 college kids and a 5 year old golden retriever. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a lake where I spend as much time as possible outdoors.
“Isabelle is so thoughtful with her communication before and after Winston’s walk. I can tell by the photos how excited he is to walk with her. Thank you Isabelle. We appreciate you very much!”
“Regan is an awesome walker. Our dog Chelsea looked forward to her walks with her. Regan is kind and caring and it showed because Chelsea couldn't wait to walk with her. Chelsea even walked in the rain just to ve with Regan, and she doesn't like getting wet. Regan is a great communicator and always send nice pics and let us know how their walks went. I would recommend Regan 100% to take care of your pup!”
About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work in office Mondays, Wednesdays and some Fridays which is about an hour commute. I am usually gone from 7:30-5 ish, so dogs who can be alone for that long work out well. I work fully from home Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can let them out whenever on those days. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle
About: I currently have two pomskies, a russian blue, and a black cat. I also had two 80 lbs Weimaraners, a black cat, and a teddy bear hamster growing up as well as taking care of all the neighbors pets when they would go on vacation prior to starting Rover! I now have interacted with almost every size of dog and multiple cats through my services. - I was a dual-sport athlete in college where I did gymnastics and track, and I currently weight lift. I preface this because some pet owners in the past have said I appear to be a smaller girl but I am stronger than I look and have walked/taken care of big dogs and very high energy dogs😂 - My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to give your pet some fresh air and exercise during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away. You may book two per day! •I’m always open to any extra needs or modifying for your situation!! I’m currently in law school and have class mid-day from August to May. I have mornings and evenings/nights open for drop in visits and dog walking during these months. From May to August, I work very early mornings 5x a week. I’m free 2pm and onwards during the summer months for drop-ins and dog walking services. I also stop by prior to my 6am start time for work to do drop-in visits as well. Please don’t be afraid to reach out for anything at all! •I always allow meet-and-greets for a quick 10 minute appointment (free) prior to any drop-ins or walking services so that I’m no stranger to you or your pet before I stop by for the first service. This also allows us to establish what needs your pet may have and your expectations for me. These aren’t mandatory to be able to book with me, just solely a comfort thing! •I remember the way pet items were stored in your home and return them back to the way they were after I’m done using them. •I always message you and ask for permission prior to entering any other part of the house that’s not necessary to the service. This rarely happens, but for example: a dog I came to walk was sleeping in the master bedroom so I messaged the owner first prior to retrieving him for our walk😂
About: I have a real love and passion for all animals. I have special skills in diabetes care for my sisters elderly cat and I have trained my own pups (Shar pei, lab pit bull mix and chocolate lab).

I also work at a vet clinic with regular interaction with all sorts of animals. Outside of all the experience, I love animals.

Our resident and foster pups have a basic schedule of eating and morning, afternoon and evening potty breaks in our backyard. Dogs that are trained well on a leash, or new puppies that need training, will get 2-3 walks a day. We have cozy places for naps and all pets are allowed on furniture. Depending on the pet we are happy to let them free roam or crate, whatever the preference is of owner for times we are not home. Between the adults and kids in the home, your pet will get lots of cuddles and playing, treats and mind stimulation.

About: Hi. My name is Carrie. I love all kind of animals. I have 2 cats right now. I used to have a hampster. I grew up having rodents. I never owned a dog but i sure love them. I used to live with a couple of dogs in thr past but they wasn't mine. I used help take the dogs for walks though and fed them as if they was my own dogs. I love walking them. I love playing with them. Like balls, freezbie. I live in a apartment building and am only allowed to have to pets that live me anyways. I can however babysit as many as pets like other cats or even dogs as i want. There is no rule on that. I just love animals all together. So feel free to message me if you are interested P.S. Just so you know I can't drive but I take metro mobility. I hope that is not a problem. Also, I have found out that i can't have anymore animals that aren't mine so I would have to travel to the Guest's house to watch their pets. I hope that is fine with everyone. I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I’m happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Megan! I’ve grown up with two labs my entire life and now I have my own 3 year old yellow lab. My dogs growing up had several medical issues so I have had experience with medication and older dogs. I do work Monday - Friday so I prefer not to do overnights during the week if possible. I absolutely love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I take my dog for lots of walks, hikes, and playing fetch so I’m happy to do the same with yours! If the dog stays at my house, our dog is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! I live in a house with my fiancé so we have lots of room for your dog!
About: Hi everyone my name is Alicia. I have always been an animal lover since i can remember. I have grown up around dogs. I have personally owned both cats and dogs. My family is also animal lovers. I have 3 daughters 14, 11, and 5. We love going for walks in the summer as a family. Your puppy/dog will have the best visit ever with myself and my family and will love all the attention from the kids!! We are always home on the weekends too so I'm always available even with short notice :) hope to hear from you soon!!!! And thank you for giving the opportunity to watch your four legged kids!! I am a stay at home mom so I have fairly open availability during the week and on the weekends. I do make my own work schedule so I can easily fit clients in. I am located in a neighborhood with little traffic so I can take your fur baby(s) out for walks around the neighborhood. Unfortunately at this time my yard is not fenced but they would never be left unsupervised outside.

“Thank you Kj ! This was coco's 3rd stay with Kj. It is so great to be able to drop coco off & have absolutely no doubt that she will be happy, safe & well taken care of. She has a blast & comes home happily tuckered out.”
“Kona had a great stay with Brittany. She was responsive when we missed Kona and needed a photo or two and she had great communication about each day. I would recommend her to friends.”
“This was our first stay with Jared and Tayler and it went great! I almost forgot he was there - which is saying lot because I usually worry the first time. We got pictures and updates and communication with Tayler and Jared was superb. Oscar is staying again soon and can't wait!”
“What a blessing Trace is! Her place couldn't be better suited for dog care. A huge fenced in yard front pirch & dog run. She also has 4 Basset hounds!! Lily took immediate attention to Teddy. Such a wonderful time she had.She is so kind, knowledgeable and detailed oriented. My 3 mo Great Pyrenees...Lily Lu felt right @ home. Didn't even look back at me to say goodbye! I have her on speed dial and looking forward to many outings to her home for Lily Lu! She's the best!! So is her grandson, Evan!”
“Brenda and Alvin were the perfect fit our dog. We feel lucky to have found them on Rover. They are former dog owners and clearly enjoy them. The daily photo’s they sent and text updates left us at ease, able to enjoy our vacation without worry. We’ll definitely reach out again.”
“Dayjah was great. We had booked with a different Rover originally for the Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, they were unable to dogsit for use at the last minute. Dayjah came to the rescue. She was very communicative, and sent daily updates and lots of pictures. Her home was perfect for Koda, with a big fenced yard for him to explore. Thanks again!”
“Dee Dee (and her family!) take such amazing care of my sweet pup. He’s 15,high anxiety and semi-blind, so he needs particular care and Dee Dee is it! He is comfortable and relaxed which makes leaving him so much easier.”
“Kay and family was definitely a godsend in my last minute attempt to find care for my dog, Henry. Daily updates with pictures and videos and great communication helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. My dog has special needs in the center where he has attachment issues and there was always somebody home at Kay‘s house to be with Henry and her family is just as calming and sweet as what you would picture from her description and photos. Not only a great dog sitter but an amazing human being in life! Can’t thank you all enough!”
“Thank you so much Alicia and Simon for taking care of Milo. it looks like he had great time at your house playing with Teddy and Daisy. Thank you so much for taking him out for a walk daily. Milo enjoys outside walk. Mamatha”
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“Thank you Regan for taking great care of Rax! I feel completely comfortable leaving him with you and he’s a happy tired boy after he returns home. The updates and pictures are always appreciated. I’m also grateful for your flexibility and compassion. See you again soon :)”
“Kyle was great! He has an awesome fenced in backyard for dogs like mine who have high energy and need room to run. My dog Marvel also needs a couple minutes to warm up to new dogs and Kyle handled introductions really well. He also helped administer some daily medication he needed without any hesitation on the special request. Marvel came home happy and tired from all of the playing with Coco and the other dogs there. Would book again!”
“Amy is beyond amazing!!! I would not second guess leaving my pet with her. She is such a caring person and it shows from her skills she has with pets. Amy was so welcoming to my pup and cared for her. She was also very flexible when I had to extend my dogs stay for longer than expected. She even got my dog to eat, and she sometimes has anxiety being in new places. Amy sends pictures and updates of your pet. She did an amazing job!!”
“This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of our family! They did great! I got daily photo updates and Laura made sure they were attended to! Her entire family pitched in to make sure my dogs felt loved and at home. Thank you, Laura for taking such good care of my boys!”
“Shreya and her family took great care of our dog! He is high energy and anxious and we were grateful for the patience and care they provided! We would forsure have our dog there again and recommend her to anyone!”
