“Julie was so welcoming and kind. We felt great leaving Monte with her. She sent us updates while we were gone for the day and Monte came home happy and worn out. ☺️”
“This was my second time using Aisha as a sitter, “Bay-Bay” was so excited to see her again. Aisha even sent a photo to show me her comfortably passed out after playing with her fur friends. Will continue to book with Aisha in the future whenever she is available. First choice, every time.”
“Steph took such good care of our pup while we were away! Always sent the sweetest updates and pictures. She truly cares so much about your animal and gives them all the love!”
“We were very happy to meet Steven and Karin. This was our first time boarding Ted with them, and Steven offered a Meet & Greet to make sure we were a good fit. From the start, they were extremely friendly and made Ted feel comfortable. They also have a very sweet, well-behaved dog who got along great with Ted. Ted came home happy and completely exhausted, which is rare for him! We highly recommend them and will definitely book again.”
“Chloe is amazing!!! Jake was abused and abandoned before we adopted him in May. This is the first time we have left him. Upon entering Chloe‘s home it was obvious Jake immediately felt comfortable, safe and was treated like a member of the family and spoiled with his favorite things to do just like if he were at his own home. Until Chloe, Jake would only lay next to me. I was so happy when I received a picture of him so content laying next to Chloe. It was great knowing he was in such wonderful, caring hands. I highly recommend Chloe and I personally will only trust Jake with her. Such a wonderful couple with true love & joy for animals.”
“Crystal was absolutely wonderful and amazing while taking care of my dad's dog for three days always kept me posted with messages and photos on how Jackie's day was and how she was enjoying her time with rose I would highly recommend her to watch my dogs or any other dog without a doubt in my mind.”
“Christopher did a great job taking care of my dog. She had a great time, got lots of walks and attention, and had other dogs to make friends with during her stay. If I ever need boarding for her again, I know who to go with.”
“We are repeat customers of Chelsea and can’t recommend her enough! I never worry about my dog when he’s there because I know he is well loved. I also know he loves going because he gets to play a lot. Highly recommend!!”
“As always, I felt that my pets were left in the best of care with Lauren while I was away. The space was clean, safe, and clearly set up with dogs’ happiness in mind. It's obvious how much love and experience goes into their care. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Nina was amazing. Tucker had a lot of fun with her. I’m sure he enjoyed a lot playing with her big and sweet dogs. She sent me pictures and was very responsive. And besides that he got home worn out, meaning that he burned a lot of his energy.”
“Donovan was very accommodating and understanding with our pit bull! His place was very clean and seemed like a safe place for our boy. We were even running behind on our pickup time and he was very understanding and flexible. As well as sending us photo updates. Will be using him again in the future :)”
“Layne watched my Tyler (cat) for several evenings and provided daily pictures/updates on how he was doing!! She was friendly and professional and made the entire process very easy. Glad Tyler had a good place to stay!!! I would definitely recommend.”
“Jackie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had on Rover in over five years! She’s quick to communicate, great with animals, and a kind person. She’s also been flexible and easy to work with when I was running late. I could not recommend any more highly.”
About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.
“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”

“Makenzie dropped in to check on our cats while we were gone on vacation. She did a great job! She sent us pictures of them and made sure they had everything they needed while we were away. I would not hesitate to have her take care of any of our animals in the future!”
“Julie and Jensen did a wonderful job caring for our cat on our recent five day trip! She sent us pictures of the cat playing with her toys, the litter box and feeding area were very clean and most importantly, our cat was happy! Thank you!”
“Ali was excellent with our cat, Mr. Beefy. She was quick to communicate if something came up, and he warmed up to her very quickly even on the first visit. She was great at keeping him enriched while we were away and went above and beyond to help water a couple plants.”
About: I have helped rescue and place into adoption many cats. The picture in my profile is of Midnight who came to adopt me a few years ago. With my 3 dogs I couldn’t keep her so I worked with Miami animal rescue to find her a loving home. I miss her but she is living her best life. I will take care of your baby as I would my own.
“Makayla is always very responsive and has been flexible with me when times have changed. She’s wonderful about sending Biden’s or photos to let me see Fiadh is being loved while I’m away. Thank you 🙏”
About: I currently have a German Shepherd/ Husky named Echo and a cat named Stella at home. I have always grown up with animals and taken care of dogs, cats, and even snakes. I work remote so I can work anywhere which makes my schedule pretty open. I usually work Monday through Friday 8 hours a day, normally 11:30 to 8pm. For my own pets I take my dog to the park, dog park, the creek, and anywhere that I can really. I am okay with walking the dogs, playing with the dogs, staying with them if needed, changing litter, and taking care of them like they are my own.
“Very attentive to our cat’s medicine needs. Chloe was so sweet to carry our sweet baby around on her shoulder (like I told Chloe she likes!) and she even switched out the cat toys periodically. Thank you for the peace of mind, Chloe! Will be booking again!”

About: I’ve owned cats most of my life! I love them all their little personalities! Working at a vet hospital I’ve become familiar with how to handle them in stressful situations and reading their body language! I’ve also become very good at telling when something is off or even comforting them in stressful situations. Obviouslyyy play time is the best but cuddles & relaxing are just as important!
About: I currently have one cat who has given me more than enough experience to take good care of your animals! She has dealt with some health issues and has a bright personality both of which have given me the tools needed to take care of any cat.
About: I have personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer. I had Cooper (my Weimer) for 14 years and we walked literally every single day, rain, snow, cold etc. We now have our 2nd Weimer and back at it again; love the exercise they provide for us!! I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 6 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on great summer days

About: I have had dogs all my life but have been dog sitting since I was 16 years old for neighbors, family and friends. Me and my wife have a home in Joplin missouri with a huge privacy fenced back yard. Rest assured your pets will have plenty of space for play and relaxing. I am photographer and a stay at home dad! This gives me the opportunity to be home all day for plenty of play and potty breaks. Our son is one year old but is never unsupervised around any pets. Our fenced in yard is very spacious and we have gated areas in our home to separate dogs from each other if needed. We have two dogs of our own Argyle & Daisy who are very friendly and love to play. They are also kept up to date on all vaccinations and are treated for fleas using Seresto collars. We do not have any issues with bugs of any kind and are a non smoking home. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in our home and have comfy spaces everywhere. Be prepared for plenty of update pictures! We do not use pesticides or weed killer of any kind and our yard is kept chemical free. We also keep water indoors to prevent bacteria from building up. We refresh water as needed.
“Stephanie and her family were absolutely wonderful. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, took my pup on a long walk, and spent lots of time playing with him. From the photos, it was clear he was having an amazing time and was very well cared for. I would 100% recommend Stephanie and will happily book with her again. Thank you so much, Stephanie!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have always lived on a farm. I take care of animals both BIG and small. I love to be around animals. They are my happy place. I work from home. I train horse so, I'm as available for any of your pets needs. I can move my schedule around to accommodate you and your furry friend. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. My pet and yours are part of the family. They don't really know they are pets. I have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 3 horses, 3 chickens and 2 boys (age 12 & 15) that will help your pet feel at home and have all the attention they would want. We live on a 50 acre farm. We are the very last place on a dead end road. No traffic and not close to any highway or main roads.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid who lived on a little farm. My experience ranges from birds, ferrets, reptiles, & cats, dogs. Animal care has always been something I’m passionate about. I know how important my animals are to me and so I will take the best care of yours while you’re away. I am a full time teacher so pet care is on the evenings most of the time. I can schedule weekends ahead of time and be available all day to let your loved ones outside as needed. During the summer my availability will be wide open! My pets are treated like a member of the family. I think that animals in our care should be shown love and grace because we chose to take care of them.

“Sarah was really friendly to meet and great at communicating when we were away. She sent us pictures of the pets. We felt good that someone was dropping by the house while we were gone. Additionally, we loved that our dogs were getting worn out so they didn't focus their energies on the couch! I will most definitely be contacting Sarah again when we travel.”
About: Hi guys! I've been around cats and dogs, and taking care of them; walking, bathing, dog sitting, play dates, etc., since I was young. I have three animals myself, two dogs and a cat; I've had my fur baby Lucy for 14 years now, so I do have some experience with senior dogs as well. I also have always been the go to for friends and family when they need someone to care for their babies. I know most people are pretty divided on the "dog person" vs. "cat person", but I personally love both equally! I'm currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is fairly open, outside of nap times. Because of this, I will easily be able to accept no notice requests. However, the more of a heads up the better of course! I personally have three fur babies myself; one large breed dog (60+ lbs), an overgrown weiner dog (my senior girl), and a selective cat. They are all up to date on vaccinations, as well as spayed/neutered. My dachshund is very friendly with all animals; large and small, but I don't plan on introducing my animals to any animals that I am trusted to care for.
About: I have helped rescue dogs and cats for years. I currently have 3 rescues that keep my life interesting. I look forward to caring for your fur babies as I would my own! I am retired so I have the flexibility to care for your babies on the schedule that works best for you. When you are away they deserve to have grandpa come to visit. I currently have my 3 rescue pups I promise to care for yours as if they were my own. I believe in lots of pictures as well. I have three rescues that are wonderful loving dogs but having more stay at my home is not an option at the time. That being said I am retired so I am very flexible in coming to your home for drop in visits, dog walking and possibly staying in your home to take care of your fur babies. I am a retired CEO of a local non-profit so I can be trusted to respect your home and pets.
About: I'll never work a day in my life while I'm pet sitting. As a certified pharmacy technician, I am confident I can apply or administer medicine to animals. I also have personal experience with anxious animals around storms and medical care. I am available every day after 7. Overnight house/pet sitting is where I will serve you best. Your animals will feel safe with me regardless of whose home they sleep at. I try to add mental stimulation as well as physical play to wear them out. I love to cuddle but I understand not all pets do! I won't ever push a pet past their comfort level.
About: I love animals! I’ve had my dogs for five years and when I was growing up I was always around horses and dogs even cats! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three dogs! Every dog deserves love! I have a huge fenced in yard they get to run and play in! They are super well taken care of and have tons of toys. They will be loved and taken care of! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three adult dogs. I’m always trying to keep myself busy on my days off to watch your puppers & keep them safe.

You can count on me to care for your pup the way I care for mine! Please note that while I have not yet received any bookings on Rover, you can count on me to care for your furry friend. I would love to have the privilege of caring for your pet. I work 3 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital which leaves 4 days a week for me to be able to help care for your pup. My pup has a big playpen that he stays in while I’m away at work. Inside his playpen he has a large puppy cabin that he treats as his house. My pup has all the chew toys he could ever want as well as a large stuffed animal to play with! My pup is provided with stimulating toys to keep his mind engaged throughout the day.

If your pet does not need to be created we accommodate to that as well.
About: If you need a trustworthy, patient and experienced pet sitter I am confident we would make a great team. I have had pets of my own since before I could walk, with experience in equine/large animal care to small critters, I can assure your furry friends will be safe in my hands. As a pet parent of two dogs of my own, I am confident in my ability to ensure a safe and comfortable walk/sitting experience for you and your pets! I aim to provide a communicative and dependable service that helps you feel comfortable while you are away from your pets! I’m currently working as needed, so I have plenty of time to help care for you pups! I am available through out weekends and weekdays I always prioritize slow, thoughtful introductions to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. While I'm not offering in-home boarding just yet, I'm excited to open up my home soon as a peaceful, pet-friendly space where your dog can feel truly at ease. In the meantime, l'm available to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. I believe that stress-free care starts with a familiar environment and clear, reliable communication.

About: I have always loved dogs and taking care of them for friends and family. I have taken care of a variety of dogs from the size of a Chihuahua to a Labrador. When my grandparents would go on trips, they always trusted me to care for their dogs. I have taken care of puppies and older dogs, some who have needed medicine or special care. I have house sat for my sister while taking care of her lab and husky for a week. My previous roommate recommended me to her friend to take care of her dog and cat several times. A couple times I have housed a friend's dog when he goes on trips. I recently started helping train a friends puppy who is full of energy. Every Saturday for about 4 years, I helped my parent's neighbor take care of the foster dogs she housed. I would help feed them, take them outside, and put them in crates when they were off to be adopted. One time she had a litter of puppies, so I would go and help take care of them or help the mom rest from the puppies. When she would go on vacation, my family would take care of her own dogs. I am currently looking for work, so I am free during most of each week. I attend church Sunday morning and have church group on Tuesday and Thursday nights. These activities will not get in the way of me taking care of your pets. I do not have any dogs of my own, but I am considered an aunt to many dogs by their owners. I will follow the routine and house rules that you have set for your pets when I take care of them in your house. I am able to take your pets on walks or to the park, if allowed. I can watch your pets while they are roaming around the backyard, if needed. I have some experience crating dogs.

Playtime, walks, and even cuddles if they want! I love all kinds of pets and I can make everything go smoothly!

“So grateful for her flexibility and care. Samantha was kind and welcoming as we left out fur-son with her. We loved getting photos of all the fun and exercise he was having. We certainly felt less guilty leaving him behind on vacation because he looked like he was having such a great time with his new friends. I loved that he was in a home environment with other pets and just seemed like one of the family. I will 100% rebook with Samantha! My daughter adds: “Her dogs are super cute and friendly. I’m glad our dog had lots of fun with them.””
