“We had a wonderful experience with Alvin’s and would absolutely book with her again! She took such great care of Cayde and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious from the photos that Cayde was having a great time playing and getting lots of attention. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our travel schedule, which we really appreciated since our timeline changed a few times. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she genuinely treated Cayde like one of her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Annie was great. She sent several pictures and updates on Gandalf every day. Her home was very safe for our cat and she is definitely "tuned in" for knowing or figuring out how to engage with a cat for exercise and play time. We will definitely be back to Annie for our cat boarding needs. Thanks Annie!”
“My dogs are so happy to go to Anna’s house. One is normally quite anxious, but she seems to feel right at home when we drop her off. It makes travel so much easier when I know they are in great hands!”
“Jessica was absolutely top tier. This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone, so as you could imagine, there was some learning curves. She was transparent, informative, and very understanding that this was a new experience for them. Forever grateful for her to give me a piece of mind that they were in such amazing care!”
“Sheila took such great care of Penny! We loved the photos and videos she sent us. It was easy to see how happy and comfortable Penny felt with her. Penny was exhausted when we brought her home. Definitely recommend her!”
“Daniel is the perfect dog sitter. He loves dogs and it shows. He sent photos every day and told us how he was doing day by day. I recommend him 100%. Thank you very much Daniel”
“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”
“Our Josie loves Lauren and her family... Lauren sends photos and keeps me updated on all the cute things our pup does. We miss our little girl when we drop her off, but we know she is in good and loving hands!”
“Katherine and her family took wonderful care of our sweet senior pup! I received pictures and updates throughout his stay and Katherine was quick to respond to text messages.”
“Ilianna was amazing! She was super flexible, sent pictures and updates! Our puppy had so much fun playing in the yard with kids and other dogs! We will definitely call on her again when we travel and our puppy needs TLC plus fun!”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“Yevheniia is amazing. My dog is on the needy side & I was really nervous about leaving him. Yevheniia made me feel so at ease & comfortable. She treated Luka like family, letting him on the couch & giving him lots of love. She sent daily updates & pictures which I really appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Couldn’t be happier. Brittany came in and saved the day! Such an amazing sitter! Extremely communicative, caring, and made me feel so comfortable being away. My pup was so happy. I will 1000% be rebooking”
“Our 15-yr old Yorkie had a great stay with Dana. Because Max has some health issues, and needs some assistance with feeding, I rarely leave him with anyone. Dana provided the care and assistance he needed, and sent messages and pictures daily. I was able to enjoy my getaway without any concerns and Max came home without any signs of stress. I will definitely book Max with Dana again!”
“We feel so fortunate to have found Sarah before our long trip. The pictures and videos of our dog running and playing with other pups in her spacious, fenced yard gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and use her again.”

About: In my general pet-care description I included some brief information about my experience caring for cats, however, I believe this is my speciality. I am a very empathetic, thoughtful, and patient person and feel as though kitties can sense that. I have won over many strays, whom were difficult with any other humans. I have helped a stray mother birth her 5 kitties, including helping her push and cutting two of the umbilical cords. I have cared for many sickly kittens of my own and fostering, including bottle feeding and bathing and medicine administration. I feed and spend time with the 5 outdoor kitties (strays) in our neighborhood daily, simply because I enjoy it and feel as though they deserve love also:) Caring for cats is not just a hobby or a part of my life, it is something I go out of my way to spend my time doing and is a deep passion I feel as though I am called to partake in.
“Thanks so much to Annie. Our sweet cat needed a safe, friendly place for a few days after a long flight, and Annie provides just that plus lots of love. She sent photos every day and info about how our little one was getting on. It gave us a lot of peace to know that our cat was so well cared for. We also appreciate her flexibility with a late arrival and late pickup!”
“Allison was absolutely AMAZING with our babies! She watched our 4 cats while we were on a cruise and I cannot thank her enough for how wonderful she was with them. They all seemed to love her, and she loved them. Highly recommend her to anybody who is in search of a wonderful pet sitter!”
About: I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and I have had fur babies my whole life. I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare, and take care of about 100+ dogs a day. I also have had experience dog sitting as well as cat sitting in the past! I work part-time currently, but am cutting back on my hours, so I will be available a lot of the time to care for puppies and not so puppies and even cats. I also am on summer break until August from school, so that isn’t a factor either. Currently I spend a lot of time playing with my own pups at home, but we also have them crate trained, and e-collar trained, so that is something that I am completely comfortable with if that is something you have in your home!
“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: I’ve taken care of animals for 15+ years now, which include dogs, cats, birds, lizards etc. I thoroughly enjoy watching their personalities develop as I get to know them. My favorite thing to do is watch my own German shepherd running to catch frisbees or playing catch with our football. I have cared for puppies/kittens up until senior age. Giving medication, feeding, walking and loving on them. I’m currently working part-time to take care of your animals and will have fun playing and loving on them while being there. I work Monday- Friday. Mornings until mid afternoon preferred. I take high precautions when taking care of a dog in someone else’s home by playing with them, letting them potty or taking them for a walk when needed. As well as communicating with clients to ensure their animal is in great care.
“Hannah did such a great job! Our kitty stayed happy and healthy during our trip and I knew I wouldn't have to worry. She sent lots of pictures, was consistently on time and had great communication! We definitely hope to have her sit for us again 💖”
“Reagan took such great care of our sweet Harley. Sent such sweet pictures and updated us on how things were going with each visit. Highly recommend Reagan if you are looking for someone to watch over your fur baby.”

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.

I’m available for check-ins, feedings, walks, and overnight stays with pets throughout the afternoon and night. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can adjust to meet a pet’s specific routine, whether that means multiple visits a day or staying longer to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always follow their specific instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and any other care they need like walks, playtime, or litter box cleaning. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized. I also like to provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“We had a wonderful experience with Alvin’s and would absolutely book with her again! She took such great care of Cayde and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious from the photos that Cayde was having a great time playing and getting lots of attention. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our travel schedule, which we really appreciated since our timeline changed a few times. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she genuinely treated Cayde like one of her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“My dogs are so happy to go to Anna’s house. One is normally quite anxious, but she seems to feel right at home when we drop her off. It makes travel so much easier when I know they are in great hands!”
“Jessica was absolutely top tier. This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone, so as you could imagine, there was some learning curves. She was transparent, informative, and very understanding that this was a new experience for them. Forever grateful for her to give me a piece of mind that they were in such amazing care!”
“Daniel is the perfect dog sitter. He loves dogs and it shows. He sent photos every day and told us how he was doing day by day. I recommend him 100%. Thank you very much Daniel”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“Yevheniia is amazing. My dog is on the needy side & I was really nervous about leaving him. Yevheniia made me feel so at ease & comfortable. She treated Luka like family, letting him on the couch & giving him lots of love. She sent daily updates & pictures which I really appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Had a great first time boarding experience with Mara- was out dog’s first time away from home and she was reassuring and thoughtful with the process. Definitely recommend!”
“Wynde and her family are amazing! We will definitely use her services again with our babies. Taking care of our Pug puppy and our almost 20-year-old Pug is not easy but she did it. As a bonus her and her family live very close to us so it is very convenient to drop off our babies.”
“Ann and her family is amazing! I am thankful we found them and they were available during the holiday weekend. They went above and beyond for my big boy Chuck making him a part of their family. My favorite highlight was the 4th of July pup treats she made for the three dogs. Ann sent updates and lovely pics which put me at ease during my vacation. They were very accommodating and took great care of Chuck. 10/10 I recommend! Chuck will definitely be going back to their family.”
“Thank you for taking great care of Echo! Your beautiful back yard and endless toys were exactly what she needed. And the pics you sent me helped me while I was away from her. Looking forward to her hanging with her new friends again soon! Thank you bunches!!”
“Tina did a great job watching after my dogs. She was very flexible with every aspect of booking. You could tell she wanted to make my dogs feel comfortable and respect my wishes. She also kept me up to date on what was going on with them. Would definitely let her watch my dogs again.”
“Shalyn and her family were wonderful with our 3 year old dog Mary. She is a rescue and it was our first time boarding her so we were nervous. It was also the first time Mary spent an extended period of time with another dog. Their dog Scout was great with Mary. I received several pictures of Mary being loved on and playing well with Scout. Shalyn has a great fenced in yard. I definitely recommend her & will book with her again.”
“Christine and her family were an incredibly lucky find on here when our usual sitters were booked. Christine was professional and communicated well from start to finish, and her and her family kept my dog busy and so spoiled. I didn’t have to worry about him for a second while we were away and came home to a very happy and well taken care of pup. We highly recommend and will be happy to rebook in the future!”
