“Jade was a very great fit to watch and take care of Dozer! She kept me up dated and sent me pictures of him! I will definitely recommend her and use her again if I go on! Dozer is very happy and sleepy after his couple night stay with her!”
“Rachell took care of my dog like he was one of her own! He was able to get all the socialization, playtime, and cuddles that he needs. Rachell sent me pictures and kept me updated on my dog so I never once worried.”
About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.
“Since this was the first time leaving our 3 year old Shihpoo I was very nervous, but Dave and his wife Cindy were great! Tanner seemed right at home with them and they really took wonderful care of him. They kept us updated with photos and texts, which made me less worried on our trip. We now have a safe and fun environment for Tanner whenever we need to leave him❤.”
“Samantha was terrific!! With relatively little notice she's was able to watch our baby girl Lizzie. We got pictures of her playing and having a great stay while on our vacation. Would not hesitate to have her take care of our fur baby again.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Ashley and her family overnight. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day to let me see he was having a great time. And he came back super tired from playing with all his friends! We will definitely use Ashley again.”
About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention they could ever want! I am trustworthy and dependable. I currently work part time as a nanny so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets! I currently work 3 days a week, 7-8 hours a day at my nanny job. I always make sure that pets are in a safe environment. While we're out on a walk they will always be leashed so there's no worry of them running away or anything of that sort. I always respect the wishes of the owner and take the safety of animals very seriously.
“Karissa was A+++ for my dogs when we left them to stay with her for a week. She sent us photos every day and they were obviously happy in her big yard and staying active. She will be my first choice for a sitter the next time I am out of town. Thanks!”
“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”
About: My house is full of love and my dogs will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, dogs and cats. When I turned 17 also 6 years ago, I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 8 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.
About: I have been dog owners for over 20 years. I work from home full time. I live on a 5 acre gated property. I have a 2 year old neutered Golden Retriever who loves to play with other dogs. I work from home so I can facilitate potty breaks when needed. I am off work by 4 or 5 everyday and off on weekends. I do have a crate if needed. I do not have a fenced yard so would always walk your pet on a leash. Pets would never be left unsupervised.
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Our pups had a blast with Anthony and Sophia! They were so welcoming with Scud who can be a little shy and both dogs came home happy and tired from all the play time. Anthony and Sophia texted updates everyday and were flexible with the drop off and pickup. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Taryn was very accommodating for my two corgis. I was a little worried at first because one of my dogs can be a little aggressive toward new dogs. Taryn was able to introduce the dogs properly and assured me that she would be able to separate them if there was ever any issues. Everything worked out fine and my boys received all the love and attention they needed.”
“Five stars! This was our first time leaving the dogs with someone in Rover. I was very nervous. The dogs loved Sherry and we will use her again in the future. She sends pictures with updates. Sherry is kind and understanding. Our little senior chihuahua has a lot of trust issues and doesn’t care for people, but he enjoyed Sherry’s company. Thank you Sherry for keeping our kiddos safe and happy!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets — I get to know them, build trust, and treat them like my own. With a background in business management, I’m extremely organized and dependable, so pet parents can always count on clear communication and consistent care. I also have a naturally calm and caring energy that animals respond well to, and I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and quirks. Whether it’s sticking to a medication schedule, keeping pets engaged and active, or simply making them feel safe while their humans are away, I go above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Pet care fits into my daily needs because I already structure my day around caring for my dog. Add I’m very active and being around dogs gives me another reason to enjoy it! I care for my pets by making sure all their physical and emotional needs are met every day. That means sticking to regular feeding schedules, providing fresh water, making time for daily walks or playtime, and ensuring they get plenty of affection and attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior, so I can quickly spot if something seems off — whether it's a change in mood, appetite, or energy level. Beyond the basics, I truly enjoy creating a safe, calm, and happy environment where they feel loved and understood. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one feel most comfortable and cared for.

About: I bring years of hands-on experience in animal care, including working as a behavior modification dog trainer and spending many years in veterinary medicine. This background allows me to understand not only canine behavior, but also health, safety, and early signs of medical concerns. I’m highly enthusiastic about canine fitness and nutrition, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm, attentive care, I provide a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate experience. Your pet’s well-being—both physical and mental—is always my top priority. I’m home full-time, so boarded dogs receive constant supervision, structure, and individualized care. My days are centered around caring for dogs, which allows me to safely manage multiple boarding dogs with different needs, energy levels, and routines. Each dog receives a balanced routine of exercise, enrichment, and rest in a calm, structured environment. I closely monitor behavior, maintain safe group dynamics, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention to ensure every dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a structured, calm household designed to meet the needs of a wide range of dogs. I have multiple separate rooms available for dogs who do not do well with other animals, allowing them to relax comfortably without stress. For dogs who enjoy social time, there is plenty of space for safe interaction and movement. I require dogs to be crate trained overnight or reliably potty trained with an established routine, which helps ensure safety, cleanliness, and consistency for everyone in my care. My home includes a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. While structure is an important part of my household, dogs also enjoy playtime, enrichment, and appropriate freedom based on their individual needs and comfort level. With my experience and environment, I provide a safe, attentive, and well-managed space where dogs can feel secure and well cared for.
“I am so happy to have found Ashley! I felt/feel confident that Gloria had a fun day with her “friends” while we were out. She came home calm and content after a day of running around like a puppy should. We will be boarding soon as well, and I’m glad to know our puppy is in amazing care while we travel.”
About: I am a retired Groomer and have a nice and safe area for multiple pets to play, inside and outside. I will provide a loving home for your pets while you are away. I work from home and I am available to provide care for your pets 24 hours a day and 7 days a week in my home. I have a large fenced in yard, patio and garage that they can play in at any time. Pets are welcome in my home and i have multiple beds for them, or you are welcome to bring their own.
About: I had my own personal dogs for over 20 years in total but do not currently have any pets. As my schedule allows, I help out with short-term fostering for a rescue that I adopted two of my dogs from. All 3 of my dogs ended up with health issues in their old age so I have plenty of experience giving medications, feeding special diets, assisting with mobility issues, etc. Because my boy was dog reactive, I became a master at 'crate/gate/separate' when fostering while he was alive. However, I intend to only sit animals that are from the same home at one time so the animals do not face any restrictions needing to avoid animals they do not live with. I work from home (day job) so I will be around most of the time during the care dates with the exception of any planned events outside of the home (which likely would not be more than a few hours at a time). I have a fenced yard (4 feet) for quick potty breaks (I do not leave dogs unattended in my yard). For walks, I can use a double leash/collar if needed for extra security. I do have a shared fence line with a neighbor dog that is reactive so, when needed, I run a line of chicken wire to keep dogs in my yard from being able to reach that fence. The neighbor’s dog is my primary reason for marking ‘no’ to un-spayed/neutered. I don’t leave any dogs I watch unattended in my back yard but he’s a Cane Corso that’s not neutered and my fence is only 4ft tall so I figured better safe than sorry.
About: We have always had animals in the home and have taken care of them since we were little . I have now worked as a foster mom for over 80 puppies this year alone for animal shelters . I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your animals at anytime . I can do day or night .

“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”
About: My wife and I are a dedicated pet-loving team who will treat your pets like family. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, and my wife is a trained veterinarian with over 10 years of experience in Mexico. She’s currently working as a vet tech as she works towards the ECFVG certification which will allow her to practice as a veterinarian here in the U.S., bringing a deep understanding of animal health and behavior to every visit. We currently share our home with 3 dogs, 1 cat, 9 chickens, and 2 turkeys—so we’re no strangers to pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and kind, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, experienced hands with us. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and care throughout the day. I’m often outside with our own dogs, so your pet will enjoy lots of fresh air, playtime, and supervision. My wife works four days a week but is home in the mornings and afternoons, so between the two of us, someone is almost always around to give your pet the attention they need. Whether your dog loves being active or just relaxing with company, they’ll feel right at home here. Your pet’s safety is our top priority. We have a fenced backyard where smaller dogs can roam safely. For larger dogs, we use a secure tie-out cable system to give them outdoor time while keeping them safely contained. Inside the home, we can easily separate pets if needed—our basement and main living area are fully divided, making it simple to create calm, stress-free environments for each animal. Our chickens and turkeys are kept in a fully enclosed outdoor coop, well away from visiting pets, so there’s no risk of unwanted interactions. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, secure, and attentive environment
About: I’ve stayed home alone with cats and dogs and had to take care of them. I absolutely love cats and dogs and always go to pet stores to look at them.

Trying to make a living for myself. And I figured I love cats and dogs so why not watch them and earn money! Back home I have a dog and a puppy that play around a fenced yard. I have been around them on my own waking up early, to feed them and let them outside to go potty or play. And then have to watch them all day.

About: I have a lifelong passion for animal care combined with a professional background in healthcare. Holding active certifications in Basic Life Support (BLS) and medication administration, caregiving is truly second nature to me. At home, my life is happily run by my own diverse fur family: a high-energy 3-year-old German Shepherd, a sweet senior miniature dachshund, and a cat. Living with this wonderful crew means I don't just understand pet care in theory—I live it every day. I know exactly what it takes to securely walk and handle a powerful, large breed; how to gently accommodate the slower pace and fragile back of a senior small dog; and how to respect the independent boundaries of a cat. My goal is to provide total peace of mind for pet parents. Whether your dog needs a brisk midday walk or your cat needs a quiet, comforting drop-in visit, I approach every pet with the same patience, clinical attentiveness, and love that I give to my human patients and my own animals. Because of my formal medical training, I am entirely comfortable, calm, and precise when administering oral medications, managing specific dietary needs, or monitoring senior pets with health or mobility challenges. I pride myself on punctuality, clear communication, and keeping your home exactly as you left it. You'll always get detailed updates and plenty of photos from our visits! As a part-time student, I have plenty of flexibility for daily drop-in care. My weekly routine allows me to easily fit in visits any time on weekends, and on weekdays except I am unavailable on Tuesday and Thursday evenings due to my class schedule. I provide drop-in care exclusively in your home, ensuring your pet's established routine and safety are my absolute priorities. With a professional background in medical care, I am exceptionally observant, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable administering medications or managing specific health routines. I treat your home with complete respect, ensuring a secure, stress-free environment during every visit.
About: I have always had dogs and cats. I did have a bird for a little while. I also currently have chickens, turtles, fish and a tortoise. I love to play fetch, or cuddle up with a furball. I schedule my time to allow plenty of time for each visit. I'm currently available most days of the week to care for your pets. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs would be kept downstairs while your dog is in the house. I also have a couple crates if needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. Cats can be put in bedrooms if needed for a short time.
About: I enjoy dog walks and play. I love to also be able to groom if need be to keep our fur babies happy and healthy and looking good! Cuddle time is my favorite time too! Monday through Thursday I work a split shift where I normally have 11am-2pm available to do any running I need to do. I have Fridays completely off from my full time job as well! My pups get fed twice a day, and my cats get one big full bowl to munch on through the day. I clean my little boxes 2-3 times a week and I also go into my yard to clean up dog poo as well! Our pets get so much love and cuddles, along with weekly baths! They love to through around the ball, or play tug or war!
About: Welcome! We are a passionate, animal-loving mother-daughter team ready to give your pets the royal treatment. My lifelong love for animals started with my childhood beagles, followed by a schnauzer, and has grown to include four dogs of my own, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon, and numerous fish! We are starting this venture this summer to help my daughter build her skills and chase her lifelong dream. Ever since she was 4 years old, she has wanted to be a veterinarian—she even has a master plan to build a vet practice and a petting zoo on the exact same property!

My daughter and I are home almost all day, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, constant supervision, and plenty of playtime. Whether your dog needs a structured routine, midday walks, or just lots of couch cuddles and companionship, we have the flexibility to match their exact needs. Once school starts back up in August, we will transition to evening and weekend care, but for the summer, your pup will get our full, undivided attention!

When you trust us with your pets, my daughter and I will treat your home with the utmost respect, exactly as if it were our own.

About: Hello! I'm Karissa, and I've been an animal lover ever since I was a little girl. Growing up, my parents ran a pet shop, so I had the pleasure of being surrounded by all sorts of critters. Because of this upbringing, I've had the joy of caring for a wide range of animals, getting to know their unique needs and keeping them healthy and happy. In my own little family, we currently have three sweet cats and a playful puppy who's just six months old. We live in the lovely countryside near Festus, with a whole acre of land securely fenced for our furry pals to explore. We even have a pool, and you can trust us when we say we take pool safety seriously! We love a good game of fetch or tug of war and have been really getting into positive reinforcement training. Our puppy is even learning how to use buttons to "speak". :) I've got a soft spot for every cat and dog out there, and I'd be thrilled to look after your precious babies whenever you need a hand. I can either host them at my place or swing by your home to check in on them. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I can absolutely understand the importance of trust when it comes to finding the right pet sitter. So, let me assure you, I'm a dedicated and reliable professional. I'll treat your furry friends like they're part of my own family, following their routines and taking care of any special medications or dietary needs they may have. I can't wait to hear from you and meet your adorable pets! Feel free to reach out anytime. As a stay-at-home mom with older children, I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs seamlessly! Please reach out with any questions about my availability. As mentioned earlier, our household comprises three friendly cats and a 6-month-old puppy. They are all well-accustomed to meeting new furry pals and get along famously with both dogs and cats. If necessary, we can easily arrange separate living spaces to ensure your fur-baby feels comfortable and at ease.

I'll keep the house how it was left when you're away and I'll take great care of your pets! I'll make sure they get what they need at home and on walks. I've had many years of experience with dogs (and cats too!) and I would love to have many more by taking care of your best friend!

About: My entire life I’ve been around animals. My childhood summers were spent on my grandparents farm and joining them at dog shows where they showed the English Bulldogs they bred. Not to mention all the pets I’ve had. Professionally I have worked at doggy daycares and the Humane Society of Missouri. I have a love and passion for all animals but especially dogs. Have a trail or park nearby? Great news, I love taking hikes in nature. Long walks are my specialty. I have a fairly flexible schedule that revolves around my kids. With notice I can usually make additional availability or schedule adjustments. I can work around your schedule. The care I give each pet is unique to each client and animal. I’m comfortable handling dogs on/off leash if trained, crating, feeding, and administering medications as requested by owner.
About: My house is full of love and my dogs will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, dogs and cats. When I turned 17 also 6 years ago, I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 8 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.

I have a full time job, and schedule changes every week. Im often working evenings, so mornings are most open for me. Although I am flexible, and able, to move my schedule around. I have reliable transportation, and i'm comfortable coming to your home to care for your pet. I am okay walking, feeding, checking in on, etc., any pets you may have. I love all animals!
“Kaitlin is so sweet. Our puppy is only 5 months old but a big 60lb GSD so he's still working on his manners and is very energetic. He already got excited to see her on her 2nd visit. She's very sweet and patient with him.”

About: I have always had at least one animal in my home since I was born. My grandmother showed dogs and I would often help her get them trained and groomed. She was also an amazing professional dog groomer and I spent a large chunk of my time with her and learning from her. I like puppies but I have a love for older dogs. I have experience administering meds and injections. I work part time, on the weekends and I go to college full time. In the summer I work 5 days a week but based on your needs I can fit your furry friend into my schedule. I like to have a little list of things that you would think is important like the vet you want them to go to if your baby gets hurt, a feeding schedule, and anything that you may have concerns about while I stay at your house. I treat all of the animals I watch as they are my own babies and think it’s important to gain the trust of them while at your home, so they feel more comfortable.
About: I got my first dog when I was three and have always had 5+ animals in the house. I am good with any breed of dog. I have some puppy training experience and I can also work with disability animals. I just need to know if they have medication and the time to take them or other accommodations that they might need. I’m not sure if people have reptiles that need sitting but I’m good with those too. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies or any other animals. I have always had a soft spot for animals so I love spending time with them. I have a dog who gets taken potty every couple of hours and is fed every morning and every night. I also have a cat and two leopard geckos. My cat and dog are usually upstairs so I can keep the other animals downstairs if they’re not pet friendly. My geckos stay in my room.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages since i was a kid. I worked in a vet as well for 1 year and I have 1 dog in my household that I love so much!

I have a house so we have plenty of room to play around if the weather is not ideal!
About: Hi, I’m Erica — a highly experienced animal care professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets and farm animals of all kinds. I’m trained as a veterinary assistant, including assisting with surgeries, administering medications, and caring for senior, disabled, and post-operative animals. I specialize in calm, consistent, in-home care for pets who do best staying in their familiar environment. Many of my clients have animals with medical needs, anxiety, blindness, mobility challenges, or strict routines, and they trust me to provide compassionate, detail-oriented care while they’re away. I’m also very comfortable with multi-pet households, rural properties, and farm animals. Having grown up on a farm myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for animals large and small, as well as maintaining a home and property with respect and reliability. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind, keep your pets safe and happy, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. -20+ years caring for animals of all species and temperaments -Veterinary assistant training, including surgery assistance -Medication administration (oral, topical, injections if required) -Special-needs pets (blind, senior, diabetic, post-surgical, anxious) -Farm and rural animal care -House sitting and extended stays -Potty training and behavioral reinforcement -I’m calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and deeply respectful of routines — especially when animals depend on consistency. Pet care is intentionally woven into my daily and weekly routine, not added on as an afterthought. I structure my schedule around the animals in my care so they receive consistent attention, enrichment, and calm companionship throughout the day. This allows me to be fully present for feedings, walks, playtime, medication needs, and individualized routines, while also offering flexibility for pets who need extra time, patience, or reassurance. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s what my days are built around. Safety, trust, and comfort are the foundation of every service I provide. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize calm, consistency, and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so their care feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, secure, and peaceful environment with plenty of space to relax and play. Supervised outdoor time is provided in a safely contained area, and all interactions are thoughtfully managed to ensure each animal feels comfortable and respected. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost care and follow instructions precisely to maintain the pet’s normal routine. With over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary assistant training, I am confident administering medications, supporting senior pets, and caring for animals with special needs. I maintain clear communication, provide regular updates, and care for every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love.
About: I have 10 plus years of experience training, breeding, and caring for dogs aging puppy to adult years and small to medium size. My family previously owned a dog boarding kennel in which we provided obedience training, leash training, and anger management and redirecting negative behaviors. I am currently a stay at home wife so I have immense time on my hands. Daily Dog walking, drop in visits, overnights, etc are all on the table, therefore I have full availability every weekday and weekend. With lots of tender love and care. I treat animals that I oversee as if they are my own. I love on them, feed them, exercise them exactly as you would yourself so that they are not outside of normal routine and are not lacking of anything while you aren’t able to be home for them!

“Jade was a very great fit to watch and take care of Dozer! She kept me up dated and sent me pictures of him! I will definitely recommend her and use her again if I go on! Dozer is very happy and sleepy after his couple night stay with her!”
“Rachell took care of my dog like he was one of her own! He was able to get all the socialization, playtime, and cuddles that he needs. Rachell sent me pictures and kept me updated on my dog so I never once worried.”
About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.
“Since this was the first time leaving our 3 year old Shihpoo I was very nervous, but Dave and his wife Cindy were great! Tanner seemed right at home with them and they really took wonderful care of him. They kept us updated with photos and texts, which made me less worried on our trip. We now have a safe and fun environment for Tanner whenever we need to leave him❤.”
“Samantha was terrific!! With relatively little notice she's was able to watch our baby girl Lizzie. We got pictures of her playing and having a great stay while on our vacation. Would not hesitate to have her take care of our fur baby again.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Ashley and her family overnight. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day to let me see he was having a great time. And he came back super tired from playing with all his friends! We will definitely use Ashley again.”
About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention they could ever want! I am trustworthy and dependable. I currently work part time as a nanny so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets! I currently work 3 days a week, 7-8 hours a day at my nanny job. I always make sure that pets are in a safe environment. While we're out on a walk they will always be leashed so there's no worry of them running away or anything of that sort. I always respect the wishes of the owner and take the safety of animals very seriously.
“Karissa was A+++ for my dogs when we left them to stay with her for a week. She sent us photos every day and they were obviously happy in her big yard and staying active. She will be my first choice for a sitter the next time I am out of town. Thanks!”
“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”

About: I have been dog owners for over 20 years. I work from home full time. I live on a 5 acre gated property. I have a 2 year old neutered Golden Retriever who loves to play with other dogs. I work from home so I can facilitate potty breaks when needed. I am off work by 4 or 5 everyday and off on weekends. I do have a crate if needed. I do not have a fenced yard so would always walk your pet on a leash. Pets would never be left unsupervised.
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Our pups had a blast with Anthony and Sophia! They were so welcoming with Scud who can be a little shy and both dogs came home happy and tired from all the play time. Anthony and Sophia texted updates everyday and were flexible with the drop off and pickup. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Taryn was very accommodating for my two corgis. I was a little worried at first because one of my dogs can be a little aggressive toward new dogs. Taryn was able to introduce the dogs properly and assured me that she would be able to separate them if there was ever any issues. Everything worked out fine and my boys received all the love and attention they needed.”
“Davey has been excellent with Clifford! He's been a lifesaver for me while I'm going through a difficulty and am needing some last-minute dog boarding. Clifford is excited when he gets to go back and seems to be very well taken of! I would definitely recommend Davey to my friends/family!!”
“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”
