“We highly recommend Naji! She took wonderful care of Winston and Poppy for nine nights while we were on vacation. Communication was great, and we loved the updates and fun videos of the dogs. They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Sharon was amazing with my Pom while we went I hit of town for 5 days half way across the country. We arrived back a bit later than expected (about 1 hour) and she had him all ready to go. He was happy to see us but I could tell her had been well taken care of. Thanks Sharon for allowing us to enjoy our time away and not worry about of 4 legged family member”
“This was our first trip to leave Piper for an extended time and I was apprehensive about boarding her. On meeting Lindsey and Brandon, it was very easy to see that she'd be in great hands and probably have a better time with them than she does at home! I never worried about her for a minute while we were gone and received updates throughout our trip, which made us even happier. The kids were always so excited to see the pictures and to know what Piper was doing while we were having worry-free fun at Disney World. I am so happy I stumbled upon Rover.com and feel much better knowing we have such a caring couple to look after Piper on our future vacations! ”
“I have a 12 year old maltipoo and a 4 year old long hair chihuahua.Derrika is a blessing for me because she treats you fur baby like he is her own. She is very loving, caring and patient. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“I found Kristina after my originally booked sitter cancelled on me last second, and she was beyond flexible in helping make sure my dogs were taken care of while I was out of town. I had to drop off and pick up at odd hours due to my trip and she was very willing to accommodate me. When we arrived, my dogs were instantly at ease and eager to play, which made me feel very comfortable. Kristina checked in with me in pertinent details of my dogs' care and made sure to keep with their feeding and bedtime routines, including administering daily medicine to my senior pup. When I came back at the end of their 3 night stay, they were very happy and slept the whole ride home, which means they got plenty of playtime there! Kristina sent me pics with updates everyday amd answered my messages right away. I'm really happy with her service and will use her again in the future. Thank you, Kristina!”
“Cheyanne and her boys were amazing! We left our 7 year old golden doodle Chuck in their care. We were so nervous leaving him behind while we went on a Christmas roadtrip and Cruise, but knew it was necessary. Cheyenne sent videos and pictures while we traveled and even when we're not accessible. When we were able to use our phones again a video of them singing him Happy Birthday. My face lit up! If ever I need someone to look after Chuck I will go directly to Cheyanne. I highly recommend this family to take help care for your pets when you need to get away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. My passion is caring for others. I know how to work with dogs with emotional and behavioral issues. I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic son with time, room and love to give your doggies. I do have a dog and 2 cats of my own that don't get along so I have to switch out their living room social time and will ensure your animals has some social time as well. I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time. I have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!
“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”
“My pup noodle had an amazing stay with Shannon! She was very loving to him, took him on many walks, and gave him lots of cuddles. When noodle came home he slept so hard I could tell he was worn out from all his playing. I will for sure be using her again! Thank you so much!”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Stevie was great! She worked with our schedule for dropping off and picking up. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our furry family member was in good hands.”
“Gail is THE BEST!! You can tell she really loves animals, especially the dogs. She made my Fredo feel very relaxed and at home under her care. She has a lovely home and makes all of the dogs she cares for very comfortable. I would use her again to watch Fredo. Fredo can't wait to go back to play with Sky! Thanks Gail.”
“Our Remi had the best time with Sylveena and her family. We received so many pictures, updates and notes throughout the days we were gone, it was so appreciated. She even kept a mindful watch over her time outside due to the intense heat we’re experiencing. It’s obvious that Sylveena loves animals and we are so happy to have found her!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“We left our dog for a pretty long stay with Seth and she did great. We appreciated the updates and check-ins along the way. She came home healthy and appropriately tired!”
“Mya kept us updated daily and sent us pics to show how well our dogs were doing. I appreciate the updates. It gives me peace of mind knowing that our dogs were taken care of. They enjoyed their stay, especially getting run around in the backyard. Mya was attentive and we would book with her again.”

“Amanda always goes above and beyond, with great feedback and photos every day. I had a kitty who is not feeling well and I felt so much more comfortable leaving her in Amanda's hands. Recommend her in all circumstances.”
About: I currently have several cats of my own and they are treated like they are my kids, some of those cats are special needs cats. I have experience in both young kittens as well as senior cats. I have a lot of experience with feral cats, cats with behavioral issues and cats with long term illnesses. I have a cat who is diabetic so I have experience in giving insulin shots daily. I also have experience with FIV+ and FeLV+ cats. I have experience in medicating cats as well, as I have several on medication in my home. I can do cat boarding on occasions in my home.
“As a repeat customer of Kate’s, I can’t say enough good things about her. She takes such excellent care of my kitties and they’re always happy and well fed when I return. She’s a rock star!”
“I appreciate Meggie’s special care for my kitties so much ! We were able to travel without worries - she is reliable and communicates very well! She went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable- I couldn’t ask for a better experience!!”
“I’m glad Kristen was there to look after our cats. I can tell they get along well with her, and I appreciate the updates she sends me. It’s reassuring to know they’re all safe and happy. 😊”
“It was comforting to know Lucy (my cat) was being well taken care of while I was away. Kat kept me informed...including pictures. She spoiled Lucy with attention. I'm sure Lucy is looking forward to me leaving on another trip!”
“Jasmine was an incredible sitter for my baby boy Xander-he truly means everything to me, so trusting someone with his care is a big deal. She paid close attention to every detail and was extremely attentive to all of his needs. I was out of town for 7 days, and Jasmine consistently sent plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone who has a fur baby they love and want in the best hands!”
“Kodiak was the best! They were super reliable, sent us updates and photos every day, and took great care of our kitties. It was really nice not having to worry when we were gone! When we got home there was a handwritten card and toys left for our cats, that was such a thoughtful touch and honestly made our day. We’d absolutely rebook and would recommend them to anyone! :)”
“Emily administered our cat's insulin shots for us while we went camping (my fiance and I). She came over ahead of time so I could meet her, introduce her to the cats, and discuss what we needed her to do. I could tell Emily was experienced with caring for cats which put us at ease. Everything went well while we were gone and she sent plenty of pictures. This was our first time using Rover/Emily and we will definitely use her again. A good cat sitter for our old cats is a must! Emily is passionate about caring for animals and we recommend her services on Rover.”
About: I’ve been an avid animal lover ever since I can remember. Rest assured, you fur-baby is in good hands with me. Animals are my passion; working with them is a bonus! I work from home, & my availability is fairly open. I can also be pretty flexible to accommodate different schedules, making things a little more stress-free! In my home, my fur-baby is treated just as a human would be. She’s very well trained, so I don’t use any methods of locking her up when I leave. She is free to roam! I will do what you prefer and what accommodates your lifestyle.
“Very happy to have Michaela come check on all 4 of my cats, in fact I now have her come spend a full hour a day with them instead of the half hour I use to have her do. She does a great job.”
“Gabby, thank you so much for taking such good care of our senior cat (age 18) at your house for 6 days. I know she can be high maintenance with her medications and potty issues. We enjoyed our vacation knowing she was in such good hands. I'm sure she also loved having your dogs around. Also thank you making sure she drank enough water.”
About: I have, alongside owning pets, cared for many within and outside of my family for 6 years now. I know to care for dogs, cats, big and small.

I know all families have different schedules for potty and feeding times, and my schedule is flexible so I can keep your dog on track even while you are gone.

My dog responded very well to Kristen’s care and direction too. I had no qualms about leaving my home open to Kristen—she was very trustworthy. I would not hesitate to call on her again for assistance in the future.”
About: Hi, my name is Autumn and i have worked with dogs and other animals for over 15 years. My experience comes from working in animal hospitals, pet stores, daycare, boarding, and rescue facilities. I've also been a dog walker for about 3 years. I worked for a dog walking company for 2 years and then started my own pet care/dog walking business called Road Dogs Pet Care and Transportation. I am a single mother of two daughters (5 & 11) and dog mom of 3 older (13,13, &15), very sweet dogs. They are all very social and well behaved. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have experience doing nail trims and offer in-home nail trims. i also have experience bathing and administering medications. I take care, safety, and love very seriously and will always do my best to make sure your babe feels as comfortable and happy as possible! Profile update: Hi, a lot has changed since I first joined Rover. I no longer have my three elderly babies as they have all passed away due to old age. We now have two new additions to our family, Six and Pepper. Six is my 2 year old Border Collie/Heeler mix. She's very spunky, sweet, and playful! Pepper is our 2 1/2 yr old 7 lb. poodle. She is basically my daughters little sidekick and spends almost all of her time with her. She sometimes thinks she's a Doberman, but she's harmless and warms up quick. Once she warms up she's ready to run with the big dogs! They're both great girls and are used to new friends and visitors often. 😊 I'm home full-time and take care of my two kids, two dogs, and our aquatic turtle. Aside from running occasional errands or appointments, I'm able to give your dog or dogs all the love, attention, and playtime that they need. I'm also available for daily dog walks if needed. I have a large fully fenced yard for them to run and play in. They are all inside and outside frequently throughout the day as needed or as they please. I'm happy to cater to any individual needs. 2/23/25 Update: Hi, so its now been about 23 years of working with all these amazing beautiful babes! Im still available for boarding, home drop-ins, and daily walks or potty breaks if you don’t have time or need any extra help. We have a new family member now. Marley is our newest baby girl. She is a two year old Dalmatian and she is super sweet and full of playful sweet energy! She gets along with everybody. :) So our household currently consists of Me, my partner, my two daughters (10 & 16), Six, Pepper, Marley, and Mr.B (Turtle). Also just to clarify, my name is Amber Autumn Hays. I went by Autumn when I first started my Rover Act. You can call me either. :) Please let me know if you are in need of a sitter, boarding, daycare, walks, or nail trims, and I would be happy to help! 😊🐾🐾🐾 Can't wait to meet new friends and see old ones again! Looking forward to warm weather and summertime fun! ☀️ Basically I live and breath kids and dogs and my world pretty much revolves around my kids and yours. :) I have learned a lot over the last 23 years so I am very qualified in giving your pup the care they want and need while you are away. I have a very large fully fenced in yard and 3 friendly and playful babes to keep your baby company. Everyone has free roam in the house or outside during the day. I can also kennel if need be or I only kennel at night or if I leave the house for any reason. If I come to your home, I follow any instructions you give me and the time frame that you’re needing.
About: My name is Madeline Leonard. I am experienced with all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats and have been caring for them since I was a young child. I worked at a boarding and daycare facility for 5 years and was animal safety and care certified. I am also comfortable giving a wide variety of medications. I work remotely 3/5 days a week and love caring for dogs and cats. I care deeply about making sure they get the best care possible and have lots of fun while their owners are away. It’s important to me that people are able to enjoy their time away without needing to worry about their furry loved ones. Don’t hesitate to contact for more information. I work remotely 3/5 days a week so I am available for boarding Thursday-Tuesday. If your pet is comfortable being left in a crate during a normal work day, I am open to boarding on Wednesdays and Thursdays as well. I have a large fenced in back yard and 3 dogs of my own. My largest is shared with my parents so is frequently not at my house, but all three are friendly and neutral with other dogs. I have several baby gates set up within my home to keep my pets separate from guests until proper introductions can be done and everyone is comfortable with each other.

“We highly recommend Naji! She took wonderful care of Winston and Poppy for nine nights while we were on vacation. Communication was great, and we loved the updates and fun videos of the dogs. They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“This was our first trip to leave Piper for an extended time and I was apprehensive about boarding her. On meeting Lindsey and Brandon, it was very easy to see that she'd be in great hands and probably have a better time with them than she does at home! I never worried about her for a minute while we were gone and received updates throughout our trip, which made us even happier. The kids were always so excited to see the pictures and to know what Piper was doing while we were having worry-free fun at Disney World. I am so happy I stumbled upon Rover.com and feel much better knowing we have such a caring couple to look after Piper on our future vacations! ”
“I found Kristina after my originally booked sitter cancelled on me last second, and she was beyond flexible in helping make sure my dogs were taken care of while I was out of town. I had to drop off and pick up at odd hours due to my trip and she was very willing to accommodate me. When we arrived, my dogs were instantly at ease and eager to play, which made me feel very comfortable. Kristina checked in with me in pertinent details of my dogs' care and made sure to keep with their feeding and bedtime routines, including administering daily medicine to my senior pup. When I came back at the end of their 3 night stay, they were very happy and slept the whole ride home, which means they got plenty of playtime there! Kristina sent me pics with updates everyday amd answered my messages right away. I'm really happy with her service and will use her again in the future. Thank you, Kristina!”
“Cheyanne and her boys were amazing! We left our 7 year old golden doodle Chuck in their care. We were so nervous leaving him behind while we went on a Christmas roadtrip and Cruise, but knew it was necessary. Cheyenne sent videos and pictures while we traveled and even when we're not accessible. When we were able to use our phones again a video of them singing him Happy Birthday. My face lit up! If ever I need someone to look after Chuck I will go directly to Cheyanne. I highly recommend this family to take help care for your pets when you need to get away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. My passion is caring for others. I know how to work with dogs with emotional and behavioral issues. I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic son with time, room and love to give your doggies. I do have a dog and 2 cats of my own that don't get along so I have to switch out their living room social time and will ensure your animals has some social time as well. I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time. I have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!
“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”
“My pup noodle had an amazing stay with Shannon! She was very loving to him, took him on many walks, and gave him lots of cuddles. When noodle came home he slept so hard I could tell he was worn out from all his playing. I will for sure be using her again! Thank you so much!”
“Stevie was great! She worked with our schedule for dropping off and picking up. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our furry family member was in good hands.”
“Gail is THE BEST!! You can tell she really loves animals, especially the dogs. She made my Fredo feel very relaxed and at home under her care. She has a lovely home and makes all of the dogs she cares for very comfortable. I would use her again to watch Fredo. Fredo can't wait to go back to play with Sky! Thanks Gail.”
“Our Remi had the best time with Sylveena and her family. We received so many pictures, updates and notes throughout the days we were gone, it was so appreciated. She even kept a mindful watch over her time outside due to the intense heat we’re experiencing. It’s obvious that Sylveena loves animals and we are so happy to have found her!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“We left our dog for a pretty long stay with Seth and she did great. We appreciated the updates and check-ins along the way. She came home healthy and appropriately tired!”
“Mya kept us updated daily and sent us pics to show how well our dogs were doing. I appreciate the updates. It gives me peace of mind knowing that our dogs were taken care of. They enjoyed their stay, especially getting run around in the backyard. Mya was attentive and we would book with her again.”
“Noreen took care of our guy last minute. She was wonderful and sent us many pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our pup with her again!”
“Olga took excellent care of my boy Finnick and took the initiative to help me with some training as well since he is just puppy still. She provided excellent tips for better training since I'm fairly uneducated when it comes to training a puppy.”
“Taylor was super great! She gave regular updates with great pictures and videos for our pups stay. We were so much happier with this than boarding our dogs. Thanks Taylor!”
