“Anna and her family were kind enough to accept Gracie last minute when a work trip came up. Anna was very accommodating with my flight schedule and sent daily updates. Gracie was very happy and relaxed when I arrived to pick her up and it was clear she had bonded with Anna. I would use Anna's services again and I would recommend!”
“Our dog Callie stayed with Annie and Gramma Grace for a long weekend. Annie was great about communicating and sending us pictures. She played well with Annie’s dog- callie has a lot of energy so we were nervous she would be too much! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our sweet girl.”
“Elizabeth & Kevin are always so amazing with my babies. Leaving on an international trip for 2 weeks, and knowing they are safe and being loved on like one of their own is priceless! I never have to worry about them when I drop them off, as Bugs & Willow are always so excited to see them! I get tons and pictures and updates that let me know they are having the best time and getting extra spoiled! Thanks so much for everything you do for them!”
“Our dogs enjoyed spending their spring break with Clayton. Love seeing pics and videos from their vacation! Feeling grateful to be away and know our pups are so well taken care of! Thank you!!”

“Albina and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was able to accommodate us fairly last minute and sent so many updates and photos which was really appreciated! Would highly recommend”
“Daniel was a great host to our English bulldog! He kept us informed the entire time on her schedule & provided lots of photos to keep us at ease. Would definitely recommend him to anyone.”

“My dogs always have the best time staying with Christy and her family. They are great with communication/updates. My boys are always loved when staying here. Can’t wait to book with them again! 😊❤️”
“Lauren is amazing and my senior dog loves her! In the past with other sitters or even family my dog has been anxious after we come home from trips but this is far from the case with Lauren. My dog acts like it’s here home away from home.”
“We are very happy with the care Jessica gave to Milo. She was helping us a lot with the process for a first time users, she kept us updated and treated Milo like her own. We will book again for sure!”
“Sheila was truly amazing taking care of Layla! From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and treated Layla like her own. She sent photos and updates that kept my mind at ease while I was on vacation, which meant so much to me. Layla seemed super happy being with her, and it was clear she was well cared for the entire time. Sheila is reliable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“She was so sweet and she took good care of our fur baby. She also sent us a lot of pictures to keep us posted on how our girl was doing which I appreciate a lot. 10/10 would trust her to care of my pet in future!”
“Riggs LOVED his stay! I got lots of pictures and he literally had a huge smile in each one. It’s so nice knowing he is being loved so well when I had to be away! Thank you!!!”

“Ashlie is wonderful, so caring and the dogs loved her. She took such good care of them and I feel such a relief knowing we have someone who will take care of our pups and love them the same way we do. 10/10 and will definitely hire again! Thank you Ashlie!”
“Hannah was amazing with our Rexha while we were traveling for 9 days. She is super responsive, extremely nice and responsible and was so sweet with Rexha. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Alison took care of my cat, Wolfgang, for 5 days while I was on a cruise in the Bahamas. Everything looked better than before I left. She cleaned out the old bits and pieces of dry food from his 3 cat treat bowls and the litter box was immaculate. I will definitely plan on using Alison again in the future.”
About: I may only have 5 years of cat car experience but I’ve been taking care of cats since I was 9. I have always had a pet cat all throughout my life sometimes even up to 10 at a time so I truly do love working with cats.
“I was nervous about leaving for 2 weeks, but after meeting Annie, I felt relaxed and confident that she would take good care of my babies. It’s easy to see she loves what she does. She kept me updated and answered me quickly when I had questions. I recommend Annie when you need someone to take care of your pet.”
“While I was on my honeymoon, Justin did more than a phenomenal job. My husband and I have never used rover before and have a ton of cats (6 inside and 10+ strays we feed). Justin kept me up to date everyday with great photos, told me how they were doing and made sure they ate and we're fine without us haha. If I could ever only recommend one person, it would be Justin. He is absolutely fantastic and if you're looking for someone to take care of your animal while you are gone, Justin is your guy.”
About: Tiger is my personal cat. I have shopped for her food, taken her to the vet, and fulfilled all her needs since I got her. I have her maintenance schedule to fill all her needs, cause no pets are low maintenance, it just means they aren't getting the care they need. Every four months her litter box gets deep clean, the box itself and scoop get washed. The litter box gets scooped twice a week. She also gets brushed twice a week, because not only does she enjoy it, but it reduces hairballs and promotes fur health (and less fur in the house!). I play with her a minimum of once a day, twice is the average though. She gets fed three times a day from wet food, and has a water fountain that gets a monthly deep clean. I do have experience giving her medication in her food along with her probiotic. Occasionally she goes for a leashed walk in the yard for extra stimulation. I have only cared for my own cat, but I am willing to go up and beyond for any cat.
“Kenzie was great. She visited my home daily to care for my 6 cats for a week and did everything I asked. She’s friendly and trustworthy. Most definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
“Jennifer did a great job house and cat sitting. I leave directions for sitters and she followed all directions perfectly. It takes a while for my cat to warm up to new people, and this stay was only several days, but my cat did start to come out before the stay ended, and seemed comfortable with Jennifer. Something that’s important for those of us with scaredy-cats. I’d definitely hire her again”
About: My Boxer, Bailey, loves having friends over to play. Pet owner my entire life. I try to anticipate pet's needs and keep them busy and happy. Your pet/pets will be a part of our family for a few days. My teenaged son will assist with your pet's care. I have crates in the guest area if your pet needs quiet time. Our dog will remain outside if needed for the care of your pet. I have cared for hamsters and fish as well as dogs and cats. My family is allergic to cats, but I can check in on your cat in your home. I can walk your pet individually after they play with my dog. I can administer medications and have a separate sleeping area for your pets with or without a crate. My family and I are available to be with your pet in our home setting. Your pets will have a separate room with or without a crate during any short errands that I may need to run. My teenaged son will assist with the care of your pet/pets.

“After going through a few people and having terrible experiences and can as say alexis brought my trust back in rover. She updated me about my puppy at every step to the point I felt like i was there with her. I absolutely loved that. My puppy seemed to really be enjoying her time with Alexis and her dogs. I will definitely be using her service again.”

“Sarah and her family took amazing care of our dog Berry!! He had a wonderful time playing in the yard and with other dogs. Sarah was incredibly responsive and sent us pictures and updates throughout his time with her. We really appreciate her accommodating our last minute day care request and highly reccomend her!”
“Sheila was awesome with my dog Walter. She was very patient and eager to learn about him and his quirks. She was very patient and gave Walter time to acclimate to the environment slowly. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pup!!”
About: What sets me apart is the way I care for each dog as an individual, not just as a routine task. I grew up with dogs and have hands-on experience raising and caring for two of my own, so I understand their behavior, needs, and how to make them feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies and know how important consistency, patience, and structure are at that stage. While I’m not a professional trainer, I follow owners’ routines closely and reinforce good habits, whether it’s basic commands, potty routines, or leash manners. I also pay close attention to each dog’s personality—whether they are energetic, shy, or need a calm environment—and adjust my care to match. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping owners updated so you always feel confident your dog is in good hands. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to follow your dog’s usual routine closely—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and any specific needs—without long gaps or rushing. Because I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t be left alone for extended periods and will have consistent care, supervision, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where your dog can feel comfortable and relaxed. I carefully follow all instructions you provide—feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special needs—so your pet’s care stays consistent. I’m attentive to behavior and surroundings at all times, whether we’re at home or on a walk, to ensure your dog stays safe. I don’t take unnecessary risks, avoid unsafe situations, and always prioritize your dog’s well-being. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and genuine care, just like my own.
“Boonie was very attentive, friendly and communicative. We did She sent me update and photos all day long to letting me know how my Barry was doing. This is new for us and I wanted to make sure my buddy was okay and having funny day. I highly recommend and we will use her again for sure. Thank you so much Boonie 🌺”

“Alicia & Don are a sweet and very nice couple. They took care of my sweet boy and he was very happy. They keep me update and sent me pics of my boy. I am so happy o was able to find a nice family to take care of my boy when I need it.”
About: We are a family in need of pets to love on. We love dogs and cats and have had pets our whole lives. We have 2 outdoor cats currently, but they generally keep to themselves. Our most recent dog, Waldo, is no longer with us and we would be happy to love on another’s pet! We are comfortable giving meds (oral) to pets. We have a large yard and live at the end of a cul-de-sac that does not have any through traffic. We also have installed automatic-closing doors to all our outside doors to ensure safety and little chance of a beloved pet escaping. We are flexible on animal type, breed and type as long as the pet is kid-friendly. We have children under 10 that have tons of energy and laps to snuggle. We look forward to helping with your pet soon! Two adults who work from home with flexible schedules. Kids will be at school during the day and on the weekends we are home to love on your pets and walk your dogs whenever needed. We don’t require crates and do allow pets to sleep with whoever they choose. We can accommodate most needs for your pet, including frequent walks and potty breaks. 2 adults work from home every day. On weekends, we are usually home with all kids to play with your pet. We can accommodate walks and frequent potty breaks. We have AirTags that we put on your dogs collar to ensure if your dog did get out, we would always know where they were. We have all doors on automatic closers and can gate our deck for more outside time when we are out there.
About: I love puppies and dogs!!! I grew up having mutltiple dogs and wouldn’t have it any other way.... we are a typical dog family (our dog is family!). That being said, Please let me know how I can make your dog’s stay with me most comfortable. I work from home so am home the majority of the day. Therefore, I can provide frequent potty breaks. The backyard is walled in and mainly dirt and patio. I have a silver lab and a corgi so any potential customers (insert your dog’s name here) must be able to get along with other dogs (mine are very energetic and playful). I am willing to take the dogs for walks but I mainly just let them run around the backyard and let some energy out. Hope to meet you soon! Currently we are in the middle of a move and I will not be readily available for dog sits possibly until after summer, but Please reach out if you are a past client as we will make it work for any of the dogs that we have seen previously. Usually I am home during work hours so the dogs get tons of attention. They also have my 2 dogs to play with. I have a fenced in backyard for play and/or potty time. All the pups go out in the morning and get to let out some energy. They also get tons of pets and cuddles throughout the day (from me and my kiddos). If your dog is allowed treats we also give a lot just to reward them for being so well behaved in the new environment.

About: Hi there! I am a loving, active dog sitter with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from energetic little pups to gentle giants. Dogs aren't just pets for me; I love "working" with them, playing brain games, and practicing fun tricks to keep them happy and engaged. I have my own beloved 13-year-old female White Swiss Shepherd. Because my sweet senior lady is getting older, I'm not ready to bring a new dog permanently into my life just yet—but I have so much love to give, which is why I would love to help you out with yours! My Home & Routine: Always Supervised: I work from home, meaning your dog will have constant company, plenty of bathroom breaks, and endless attention. The Yard: I have a great garden for fresh air and stretching legs. Please note: It is currently unfenced, so I always supervise outdoor time and use long training leashes for safety. Special Care: Because of my experience with my own senior dog, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication if your dog needs it. What I am looking for: Since I have kids, it is very important for me that your pup is fully comfortable and friendly with kids. I can't wait to treat your dog like a member of my own family! As a long-time Rover user, I know exactly what goes into providing excellent care. To give you peace of mind, I would be happy to meet you before you book! And! As a photographer, I also offer a mini-photoshoot for your dog—in addition to the regular updates and photos. I am always at home. Our children are at daycare during the day. But they are already looking forward to playing and cuddling with your dogs and my husband works from home. I have a garden, but no fence. Your dog is free to roam throughout the house. I will go for three walks: in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. If it is very warm at midday, I extend morning and evening walks so that your dog doesn't burn their paws. Our dog will be kept separate from yours.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was in high school, from daily walks to overnight stays, so caring for dogs has been a part of my life for years. I also have an almost 2-year-old doodle of my own, so I know firsthand how much energy, attention, playtime, and patience a young dog can need! One of the biggest perks I offer is that I work from home, which means your pup gets plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I’m happy to keep them active with walks and playtime, while also giving them plenty of attention, cuddles, and downtime. I treat every dog like they’re my own and want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pup is happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have used Rover for a while on the other end (dropping my pup, Blue, at family homes) so know the importance of lots of photos and videos while you are away! Since I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to be available for bathroom breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I currently take my own dog on at least three walks a day around our neighborhood, so your pup is welcome to join us! I also make time throughout the day for play, cuddles, and breaks from work. I’m happy to keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means extra walks, more playtime, or some quiet time and cuddles. I have a large yard where dogs can safely get outside, stretch their legs, and enjoy some playtime. Since I work from home, I’m also around throughout the day to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re comfortable and safe. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I treat every dog in my care like my own. I’m attentive to their needs, keep their routines as consistent as possible, and make sure they get plenty of supervision, exercise, and attention while they’re with me

“Justin has been walking by pup three days per week for a couple of months now. He has been very dependable and has communicated well. I recommend him for your dog walking needs.”
About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.
“Alison came to our rescue with a last minute booking and she was great with both of my pups. One is very anxious and slow to warm up to people but warmed up to her really quick! Will definitely use her in the future :)”
“Hannah was excellent with our animals. Whenever we had to make different accommodations she was very responsive and able to meet our needs. I will definitely be rebooking with Hannah as she took great care of our animals and they enjoyed her company as well.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy! I have a cat of my own, Archie, and a dog, Stella, who are completely spoiled, and I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, likes, and boundaries rather than treating every visit the same. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐶🐱💕 I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the needs of your pets. I’m happy to coordinate visits, walks, playtime, feeding, and other care around your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, maintain their normal routines, and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and needs and will always communicate with you if anything seems unusual.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.
About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for pets, ranging from dogs and cats to small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, and farm animals like goats and chickens. My responsibilities have included: Daily Care: Feeding, providing fresh water, and administering medication as needed. Exercise & Enrichment: Walking dogs of various breeds and energy levels, engaging in interactive play, and ensuring mental stimulation for pets. Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste during walks, and keeping pet areas tidy. Special Needs: Caring for shy, senior, or reactive pets, tailoring my approach to meet their unique behavioral or medical needs. Communication: Keeping pet owners updated with regular photos and messages to provide peace of mind. Additionally, I have worked with pets that require extra patience or attention, such as rescue animals adjusting to new environments or pets with separation anxiety. My approach focuses on building trust and ensuring every animal feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐶🐱🐾 I am opening my own healing and end of life care practice, allowing me a somewhat flexible schedule. I usually am not gone more than 4-6 hours a day, and usually only a few days per week. I prefer to take care of pets in their own home and keeping to their usual routines. This gives your pets the most comfortable option while they get to know me.

About: Hi, I'm King Dre! Im new to the LA area but I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life!!! I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, played baseball for 16 years both Varsity Highschool as well as Travel ball and in 2019 moved up here to North Carolina for my dads retirement and to be close to his side of the family. I recently worked at PetSmart for about a year and took care of many exotic pets on the daily! Whatever your needs are, pets are a breeze for me and you are more than welcome to message me your requests and we will work something out. Thank you and may God guide your spirit in Jesus name, amen!!! I always prioritize pets necessities and desires and have a job that allows me to work remotely while I take care of your pets at the same time!!! I also own a cat myself who I love and adore with all my soul lol. I would take your pet for a walk daily to ensure their built up energy is being used as well as give them special play time! However many times your animal takes to use the bathroom I will ensure happens and accommodate any preferences they have and are needed. I love to lay and cuddle with animals so if that’s something your pet loves, I’m all for it!

About: I've had a love/passion for dogs since I was born into this life. Growing up, I've always had a dog in the house, so it easily became the norm for me. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including doberman, pitbulls, great dane, labs, boxers, beagles, and mutts. I truly love them all. I'm open to taking care of all breeds. I don't discriminate! One thing I will note is that I specialize in high energy/working dogs and am very familiar with larger breeds. Just to give you a quick example, I raised a Doberman from a puppy which led to me learning A LOT throughout the process. Doberman are a working breed and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation & I think I cracked the code! I’ve developed a deep understanding of what high-energy dogs need to thrive. I'm good at stimulating their minds, keeping them active and most importantly, happy. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I do understand the importance of balancing their physical and mental well-being, and I'm dedicated to ensuring each dog has a great time with me! I'm very engaging and mindful, so whatever your dog may need, whether it's staying active outside or relaxing at home, I will do my best to provide. That's a promise. When it comes to availability, I am free at the moment. You can contact me any time and I will get back to you asap. I will make sure you feel comfortable with leaving your pets with me. To ensure you of this, I will send you daily photos & videos to show you how good of a time they're having! Also, you can give me a call ANYTIME. I know what it's like to drop my dogs off at a pet sitter's house, so my job is to give you the relief of knowing that your pets are in great hands. I can guarantee you this🙂

“Anna and her family were kind enough to accept Gracie last minute when a work trip came up. Anna was very accommodating with my flight schedule and sent daily updates. Gracie was very happy and relaxed when I arrived to pick her up and it was clear she had bonded with Anna. I would use Anna's services again and I would recommend!”
“Elizabeth & Kevin are always so amazing with my babies. Leaving on an international trip for 2 weeks, and knowing they are safe and being loved on like one of their own is priceless!

I get tons and pictures and updates that let me know they are having the best time and getting extra spoiled! Thanks so much for everything you do for them!”

“Tina is an excellent sitter! I’m a super extra dog mom and I pack every possible thing my dogs could need. Tina listened to every one of my instructions and sent tons of pictures to ease my mind. One of my pups recently injured his back so I was pretty worried about him staying with someone else that’s not me. He did so great and had no issues. They both got back super tired and slept the rest of the day. I’m so happy I found the best sitter and will use her again plus recommend her to everyone!”

“Wynde was fantastic! We left her with our foster dog, who is still transitioning from crisis and kennel life to our home ( 6 weeks) and then to hers for a long weekend. Wynde was so accommodating, as with her family and pets. She was flexible with my schedule changes leaving and coming back in town; went above and beyond with making emotional space for our foster to feel in control, and welcoming any small act toward connection from our foster. It only took two days before I received one of many pictures of our pup laying on top of Wynde, all 45 lbs. I highly recommend her and will call on her again! Debbie”
