“Katie was amazing! She kept us in the loop the whole time and had great communication. Even though our dog chewed the door frame a bit, Katie was very understanding and didn't blame our pup. She has 2 other dogs Wally and Daphne. She has a fenced in backyard. Our dog got along with them both. They are both older dogs and calm. Highly recommend Katie to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Jenny and Mark took excellent care of our dog over 2 weeks. Communication was easy and we received regular updates. I would definitely have them dog sit again!”
“Lan has watched my puppy Posie a couple times now and she takes such great care of her! She’s super accommodating- my flight was delayed this past weekend and she was very nice about keeping my puppy longer than planned. Highly recommend her!”
“This was Bucks first experience boarding with Robert, and we will for sure be repeat customers! Right from first request, communication was quick and informative. I chose Robert based on his positive reviews, and I am happy to be adding to them now! Even though it was just an overnight stay I got pictures and updates on how Buck was doing. Buck looked happy in every photo. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Robert again when I need to board Buck!”
“Shevon & Ian took excellent care of our senior dog, Gunter! He had an extended stay with them while we were out of town, and they sent great pictures and updates. They have a great fenced in yard and helped Gunter with all his medications. Shevon & Ian are great communicators, and were very accommodating of our special requests.”
“This was Wallace’s longest stay. Roxanne’s wonderful photos and updates brightened my days and assured me that he was having fun and being loved.”
“Cooper was in great care while we were on vacation! Highly recommend Dale and Betsy as care for your pet. Very kind, gentle and provided daily pictures of his loving care they provided.”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my goldendoodle Crosby! She sent an update and/or picture everyday to let us know what kind of activities they got up to each day. I was very happy with how much exercise she gave Crosby, sometimes I was worried that he was having so much fun that he wouldn't even want to come home! Knowing that Crosby was in such good hands with Ashley while I was gone gave me a lot of peace of mind.”
“Julie, Jesse, and their family took such great care of my Pepper! It was my first time boarding him but he was in such great hands. I got lots of communication/updates, photos, and clarifying questions when things arose. Pepper got top notch treatment!”
“Rachel was an excellent sitter for Rosie!! Her space is very dog friendly. Rosie has some anxiety, but she seemed very comfortable with Rachel. I appreciated Rachel’s daily updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Rachel as a sitter!”
About: Lifelong animal lover and pet owner. Now that I’m retired, it’s time to turn my passion into a service for other pet owners. Your dog deserves a wonderful boarding experience. Low stress, quiet home, play/exercise, and lots of affection. Nothing but the best for Fluffy! Recently retired and ready to provide overnight boarding for small to medium-sized dogs. I have the time and desire to provide excellent care for your dog. Fluffy will receive lots of attention and affection. Your dog will be in a safe and quiet home environment. Access to small grass yard (no pesticides) under my supervision. Special care requests, feeding schedules, etc. can be accommodated. I have been caring for animals (pets) my entire life. Their wellbeing has always been a priority for me.
“Stan was a wonderful caregiver to our dog, Harley. He made us feel comfortable by asking a lot of questions about the care and feeding of him. He sent a photo and an update each day. His home was well set up for dogs and it was a very chill place for Harley to relax. We would absolutely have Stan watch our dog again!”
“Mario is the absolute best! My cat is a picky girl, but Mario's patience, kindness, understanding and love for what he does, shows through with each video, and text message that lets you know that your pet is in good hands! Will I book again? 100% 🩷”
“Debbie and Mike took great care of our boys Fable and Legend. We have a regular boarder but she had a conflict for our dates. We were as anxious about a new boarder as the dogs were but we received daily updates on there eating habits, play time as well as great pics showing our boys with big smiles and getting much attention. Thanks to you and your family we appreciate you taking such good care of them. They are exhausted from there vacation also.”
“Bill and Tristan were amazing! We left Duke there for 10 days and we could tell he was so happy once he settled in there. The house is clean and comfortable and our dog received plenty of attention. He almost didn't want to come home! HIGHLY recommend! We will definitely continue to use them”
“We have two high energy Standard Poodles - a 2 and a 1 year old - who stayed with Lisa for two nights. We booked this at the last minute because our original provider had to cancel. Lisa was great with our dogs even though they’d never met her before. She knows how to connect & establish a relationship - even with our timid one year old. Lisa communicates clearly about arrangements and sent us photos and videos too. We’ll happily use her again!”
“We were so happy with the care Claire took of our beagle, Lucy, while we were out of town for a week. She kept us well updated and it was clear that Lucy was being cared for and loved. Would definitely be comfortable leaving Lucy with her again in the future!”

“Katie was great with Georgie. She is a people-shy cat, and I was worried about her being alone for a few weeks. It took a little time, but Katie got her to come out for scratches and pets.”
“Amber was a wonderful sitter! Amber had excellent communication, shared updates with photos & took excellent care of our 3 pets. We would highly recommend Amber as a future sitter!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”

“Shayla was wonderful! This ended up being a last minute trip we took and Shayla took the time to even squeeze in a meet and greet before we left. The check-ins and details updates were great and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing Harvey was in good hands. We will be rebooking again - Thank you Shayla!!”
“I will be forever grateful for Danielle’s loving care of my Emma. She went above and beyond. Period. Danielle followed every instruction regarding food and general care but what mattered most to me was her focus on Emma’s emotional wellbeing. Her kindness, love and knowledge of cats helped ensure a safe environment for my beloved Emma. The photos and videos I received from each visit was a joyful relief. I will definitely request Danielle again and again and again.”
“This was the first time Carolyn did daily visits for our lone cat Tess. We were away for 10 days. Carolyn did a great job and Tess was in good spirits when we returned. Carolyn was very communicative and we knew everything she was doing for Tess. Most important to me is that she not only did all the essentials but she spent time with Tess, providing petting and reassurance. I can strongly recommend Carolyn for pet care.”
“Phenomenal care from Michayla. I had to last minute book because a previous sitter canceled. Michayla was able to jump in with less than a day’s notice and went above and beyond with taking care of my boys. She was proactive in problem solving when noticing small but important things like one of my cats not eating enough of their dry food and recommending adding some wet food while she was there. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality sitter that will truly care for your fur babies.”
“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
“Liz was very loving with my cat, and even gave amazingly generous extra time that I’m so thankful for. Good communication too. Came home to a happy cat and well cared for apartment.”
“It is a huge comfort to have Anna watching our cat while we are out of town. Her updates are great and she really takes the time to give our cat attention while she is visiting. She even brought him a special treat when watching him over the holidays.”
“Jenna was great! She was easy to plan with, easy going about the instructions for my cats, and was very nice to chat with. My cats were a little naughty (just making messes and being cats) and she handled that all really well.”
“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.”
“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”
About: I have cared for cats for many years and currently have my own cat, Bellatrix, who is 16 years old and has diabetes. Caring for her has given me extensive experience with cats who have specific medical and daily care needs. I truly love cats and understand the patience, attention, and compassion they deserve. I have also cared for many cats belonging to friends and family over the years.
About: Cats have always been my specialty. I share my home with rescue cats from a variety of backgrounds, giving me hands on experience with many different personalities, ages, and care needs. I'm comfortable caring for senior cats and those who need extra attention, including administering medication, cleaning around the eyes, brushing, and making sure they receive the correct food and feeding routine. I understand that every cat is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. A clean litter box is essential to a cat's well being, especially for cats who are particular about their routine. I thoroughly scoop, stir, refresh litter as needed, and keep the area clean so your cat stays happy and comfortable. I also believe cat care is about more than food and litter. During every visit, I spend quality time with your cat based on their personality—whether that's gentle pets, interactive play with toys, quiet companionship, or simply letting them set the pace. My goal is for your cat to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you're away. I'll also send photo updates so you can see how your cat is doing and enjoy a few cute moments while you're gone. I care for every cat as if they were one of my own, and I know how much peace of mind that can bring to fellow cat lovers.
“Lance was excellent at keeping in touch and showing our lonely cat lots of affection. Every picture we got Galena was on their lap. Our cat was very well taken care of and felt comfortable with Lance.”

“Emily was very organized and took care of Frisco well. He came home tired from a day of hanging out with the dogs at Emily's house. Emily made drop off and pick up very easy.

“Luke & Aria (your sweet Doberman) thanks for providing a great afternoon for GiGi! I appreciate that they could play so well together in your fenced yard, that she had a lot of water and potty breaks and that you gave very good supervision.

“We met Takenya for doggie daycare, and our dog had a wonderful day! Takenya LOVES dogs and it shows.

He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!”

About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a long line. I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything. In addition, I have 2 kiddos that are incredibly respectful of other pets space and will love your pets as much as their own however they can be crated if needed 😉
“Tofte loves doggy daycare with Bethany! He had the zoomies today for the first when he got there which tells me how comfortable he is at her place since we've been having her sit for awhile. 😊”
“We used Meagen for day care and our dog seemed very happy and not stressed when we picked her uo, Meagen sent plenty of pics so we could tell our dog was being well cared for,”
About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.
“I want to thank Tristan and her family for watching Marlowe for us. Marlowe was a happy puppy when we picked her up! When she is happy and wagging her tail, I know she's had a positive experience. If we are ever in the cities again and need a sitter I will not hesitate to use Tristan again! Plus, she watched her late into the evening for us because we were going to a concert!!”
“Zeek has been my go-to sitter this summer! Great communication and will treat your dog like they’re one of his own! I of course recommend him to anyone and highly suggest using his services!”
“Ellen was AMAZING. She was so kind and caring and did a great job watching our pug, Yoshi! Ellen was very thoughtful and thorough for our meet and greet and I felt very comfortable having her watch our pet for the first time. We GREATLY appreciate her willingness to take Yoshi last minute! We would definitely recommend Ellen and look forward to more visits in the future!”

“Shayla has been an amazing dog walker for our little Mabel! She’s very attentive, fast at communicating, always takes lots of pictures and always fills out the Rover card! If I could give her ten stars, I would! 😊”
About: Hello my name is Chelsea and I love animals. Growing up I lived on a hobby farm with cats, dogs, horses, goats, fish and chickens to now when I have reptiles, two dogs and a cat. My dream job would be to work with animals every day and build a trust between owner and sitter because I know the feeling when you can trust that your animal baby will be cared for to the fullest extent. I have always cared for animals and have been to a few basic animal emergency classes that I learned a lot from such as cpr on cats, dogs and reptiles to learning basic signs of pain or uncomfortably. I can’t wait to meet more animals and am excited to start. I have always had a routine and the pets were just a part of that. If I leave the house the have each other but I’m never gone for more then an couple hours. I care for them as I would my own, they are apart of the family and I wouldn’t want it any other way. If they need water; I would fill the bowl, same with food. If they needed potty break I would take them outside; and if they wanted to cuddle and watch a movie on the couch I would allow it.
“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: Someone who grew up with at least two rescue dogs in the house at all time, a few cats and horses, I've taken care of animals of all sizes, breeds, personalities, ages, and needs throughout my lifetime. I've even seen kittens born! I raised and loved the one I chose to mine, finally saying goodbye when she reached the ripe age of 21. Whether it is puppies / kittens, mid-life, or elderly I have experienced all the life stages of our fur babies. I've also dealt with the not so fun parts of being a fur baby parent. From cleaning up hairballs or puke because the dog decided to eat grass, cleaning a dog who decided it was a good idea to go for a swim in the pond, or literally breaking up cat fights... I've been there. Because I teach, and right now school is out, I would be home during the majority of the day during the summer for pet sitting. Come the school year, I would be away between school hours. Because right now I'm working part-time I have plenty of extra time to fit walking your fur baby into my schedule! I have a large porch which leads down to a fenced-in yard. My fur baby personally loves sunning himself on the porch or going down to the yard and just exploring. The apartment itself is a renovated music studio so it is wide, spacious, and beautifully designed. Your fur baby would have his own feeding area and you are welcome to bring any toys or other comfort items. I've had to board my cat before so I know how important the small things are.
About: I have had pets in my life since childhood! I grew up in a busy home full of different animals (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, bunnies, birds, etc.) and have cared for animals of all different ages and abilities. I also have experience volunteering at an animal clinic. I work hybrid so am available every day except tuesday’s and wednesdays during the day. I am available any night overnight and on weekends too. I adjust my care based on the fur babies need. If they are more active, I am able to do walks often, but if they are older, I am happy to lounge around! I am used to working on a feeding schedule so strict feeding/medicine schedules are no concern for me.

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and have been around many different animals over the years. I started out pet sitting for friends of family members, and families in my local community in my spare time. I have also taken care of a few senior pets over the years by making sure they get their right medications and foods throughout my stay. I also help take care of farm animals, outdoor bird feeders, along with indoor and outdoor plant watering and care. I currently have two cats, Scooter and Goose and they are my world. I am currently working about 20-25 hours a week. My current job is very flexible with hours and time that would allow me to stop in a care for your pets. I am available to do a few days, with the possibility of extending that period of time. I would be able to stop in and care for your pets before I head to work for the day (roughly 4 to 8 hours regularly, but can be flexible) and again after I am done with work for the day before engaging in any activities or turning in for the evening. I am open to stopping in daily and caring for you pets in your home as I dont have much space while I am currently living in the city with roommates and multiple pets in our household. If your pet has a favorite park, or yard to play in, I would be happy to engage in their favorite activities hwith them in those places.

I am proud of my work/life boundaries, so I keep my schedule at school tight. I am out of the house from 7:30-4:30 on the weekdays. With my pet sitting experience, I am used to working in a pet’s routine with my schedule. If you are looking to book me in the summer, however, I have nothing but time! :) I rent, so am unable to board your pets in my home. I have, however, extensive experience staying in the homes of the critters I care for. I am a respectful and tidy guest, and always try to leave the home better than I found it.

About: I’ve had 15 years of dogs in my houses and many pets in the family who have needed sitting. I’m also normally responsible for the puppy age :) My dog is a 6 year old black lab. We live along the river in a townhouse, so I’m always out taking him for long walks or to the neighborhood dog park. I’m currently unemployed so have lots of free time and in the habit of pet care! Pet care available in our home. We have 3 separate floors so I can keep your dog apart from my dog if preferred. Lovely dog park a short walk from the house, access to grass areas right outside our front door, and miles of paths along the river that a very walk friendly.
About: I've owned a dog and/or a cat since I left college and once had 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 children under age 6 in the same house! I worked for a pet sitting business in Virginia for two years and love to observe animals and get to know to know them on their terms. Experience matters with pets and I have that, combined with great communication and common sense. I'm the person you want watching your furry friends when you can't be there. I'm also a photography lover and I'm happy to work to get some good shots of your animals while taking care of them. I'm a semi-retired journalist who often works remotely, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. With my kids in college, my nest is empty except for my Pueto Rican chihuahua mix, Nina. We walk two or three times a day when the weather and my schedule permits. I'll care for your pets as if they were mine. I've owned multiple cats and dogs, from 8 pounds up to 90. If you have the patience and experience, almost every animal will give you clues on how they want to be treated.
About: 🌿 Loving, Experienced, Home-Based Dog Care Hi! I’m Shontay, and I’ve been a dog mom for over 10 years. My own dogs are spoiled, well-trained, and great with visitors. I work from home full-time, so your dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and affection all day long. 🏡 Safe, Comfortable Home Environment I have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door that makes potty breaks and outdoor play easy. I’m patient and experienced with helping dogs learn how to use the dog door, especially shy or younger pups. My dogs are potty trained and friendly with other dogs, so everyone settles in quickly. 🐾 Special Love for Nervous & Skittish Dogs One of my regular clients has a very skittish puppy who doesn’t like many people, but he bonded with me immediately—that’s how I earned the job. I move slow, speak gently, and let dogs set the pace. I want every pet to feel safe, understood, and comfortable in my home. 💛 What Your Dog Can Expect Here • A calm, loving environment • Lots of outdoor time in a fenced yard • Patience, guidance, and structure • Respect for their personality and comfort level • Updates so you always know how they’re doing I’d be honored to care for your dog like one of my own while you're away.

“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Jenny and Mark took excellent care of our dog over 2 weeks. Communication was easy and we received regular updates. I would definitely have them dog sit again!”
“This was Bucks first experience boarding with Robert, and we will for sure be repeat customers! Right from first request, communication was quick and informative. I chose Robert based on his positive reviews, and I am happy to be adding to them now! Even though it was just an overnight stay I got pictures and updates on how Buck was doing. Buck looked happy in every photo. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Robert again when I need to board Buck!”
“Shevon & Ian took excellent care of our senior dog, Gunter! He had an extended stay with them while we were out of town, and they sent great pictures and updates. They have a great fenced in yard and helped Gunter with all his medications. Shevon & Ian are great communicators, and were very accommodating of our special requests.”
“Cooper was in great care while we were on vacation! Highly recommend Dale and Betsy as care for your pet. Very kind, gentle and provided daily pictures of his loving care they provided.”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my goldendoodle Crosby! She sent an update and/or picture everyday to let us know what kind of activities they got up to each day. I was very happy with how much exercise she gave Crosby, sometimes I was worried that he was having so much fun that he wouldn't even want to come home! Knowing that Crosby was in such good hands with Ashley while I was gone gave me a lot of peace of mind.”
“Julie, Jesse, and their family took such great care of my Pepper! It was my first time boarding him but he was in such great hands. I got lots of communication/updates, photos, and clarifying questions when things arose. Pepper got top notch treatment!”
“Stan was a wonderful caregiver to our dog, Harley. He made us feel comfortable by asking a lot of questions about the care and feeding of him. He sent a photo and an update each day. His home was well set up for dogs and it was a very chill place for Harley to relax. We would absolutely have Stan watch our dog again!”
“Debbie and Mike took great care of our boys Fable and Legend. We have a regular boarder but she had a conflict for our dates. We were as anxious about a new boarder as the dogs were but we received daily updates on there eating habits, play time as well as great pics showing our boys with big smiles and getting much attention. Thanks to you and your family we appreciate you taking such good care of them. They are exhausted from there vacation also.”
“Bill and Tristan were amazing! We left Duke there for 10 days and we could tell he was so happy once he settled in there. The house is clean and comfortable and our dog received plenty of attention. He almost didn't want to come home! HIGHLY recommend! We will definitely continue to use them”
“We have two high energy Standard Poodles - a 2 and a 1 year old - who stayed with Lisa for two nights. We booked this at the last minute because our original provider had to cancel. Lisa was great with our dogs even though they’d never met her before. She knows how to connect & establish a relationship - even with our timid one year old. Lisa communicates clearly about arrangements and sent us photos and videos too. We’ll happily use her again!”
“We were so happy with the care Claire took of our beagle, Lucy, while we were out of town for a week. She kept us well updated and it was clear that Lucy was being cared for and loved. Would definitely be comfortable leaving Lucy with her again in the future!”
“Very pleasant couple and adorable dog Luna. Send pictures and updates on Chester during his stay with them. Fenced yard was great with camera to know when the dogs wanted back in the house.”
“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”
“Just picked our pup up from another wonderful weekend with Janine! He is always so happy when he realizes he gets to see her which makes leaving him so much easier 🥰 Janine you are the best thank you for taking such great care of Blu always!! 🐶💗”
“Katie walked Marvel several times a day. She was sensitive to the heat and walked him early in the morning. He got lots of attention. She provided him with a huge assortment of toys which he loved. The daily pictures and videos were great!”
“Takenya was great to work with. She is a great communicator and sent a bunch of photos and videos, which was fun and helped me not worry about my dogs. This was my first time using Rover, and Takenya allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation.”
