“Danielle was an absolute gem taking care of my dog, Dash. She made sure I stayed updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Dash came home happy and well cared for, and it was clear he enjoyed his time with her. I truly appreciate Danielle’s attentive and loving care, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Lutisa was amazing! I booked a last minute stay for my 5 month old puppy. She was great at communicating and handling all of his energy. When I had to extend my stay by a night she worked with me and made sure my pup was taken care of. I was worried leaving him but she made sure he was taken care of an having a blast. He was exhausted when he got home from playing and running so much. I cannot thank and recommend Lutisa enough!”
“Gina took wonderful care of my two standard schnauzer pups. They are nine months old and still have enough puppy in them to be a handful. She loved on my dogs, took them with her outside on walks and while working in the yard, sent me picture and video updates. I don't worry about my dogs in the least bit when they are with Gina. She will take excellent care of your dogs while she has them in her care. She's my #1 option for pet care. I highly recommend!”
“Rebooked after a great time Bella had with Erica and Christian while I was away for work. This time, I had a family emergency and they were able to squeeze me in last minute, which provided me with so much relief and peace of mind with everything going on. Bella came back and took a long nap after having such a great time which also allowed me to get some much needed rest. They are amazing and can’t recommend them enough!”
“Koya's experience at Christopher's was excellent, he gave me peace of mind with constant updates about her. He's very kind and caring. I will definitely use his service when available. Extremely recommended. Thanks Christopher!”
“I’m so glad I found Starla on Rover to care for Tootsie while I took a 12-day trip. She was great at sending photos and giving me a daily update. There was never any doubt that my dog was getting the best care and so much love and attention.”
“We had a great experience! Very accommodating to our dog’s needs and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing our senior pup was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend and would happily book again. 🐾”
“I was able to arrange a brief meet-and-greet prior to dropping off my dog. The entire family--including parents, children, and pets--was all very friendly and welcoming to Buddy. They made him feel like part of the pack for an entire week. It took Buddy a few minutes to settle and become comfortable in a house with two other dogs, but pretty soon, he had made two new canine friends. I am grateful for a place he can feel comfortable and save while I am away. I would recommend this sitter to others for their warm and welcoming home.”
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Holly took the best care of our puppies, they didn’t want to leave! Her and her family treated the dogs like their own and sent lots of pictures and updates☺️ will definitely be returning to Holly the next time we’re out of town!!”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Melany and Flavio did such an amazing job with Daisy. We met a couple of days before dropping her off and they sent pictures during our trip which is greatly appreciated.”
“Stephanie, Matt & their boys are amazing. Jake was very happy their while we were in the Spain & Italy for 18 days. They made him feel at home. I don't think he wanted to leave but did. Was Lost for a couple of days without the boys and dogs to play with. Thank you all so much. Highly recommend them to take great care of our Jake!”
“Ellie and Karson welcomed our pup like he was their own! He was so happy during his stay and we were provided plenty of pictures and updates. Absolutely recommend this couple to anyone needing care for their fur-baby!”
“Excellent experience!! Ashley text photos of our pet and kept us updated since this was our first time using a dog sitter. Our “Bailey” looked happy and content! We anticipate using Ashley again in the future!!”
“It was another fantastic experience! We received so many photos of our girl. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t get home until after midnight. Catherine happily kept Fury an additional night. I can’t thank them enough for their communication and understanding. They take such good care of our baby!”
“We were very happy with Daisy and Harpers stay with Shanna! She is very communicative and easy to work with. Daisy and Harper were very well taken care of and the pictures Shanna sent us from the nature walks were beautiful! We plan to rebook for a summer trip!”

“First time using Rover, and I'm so glad a friend recommended it! Tricia has great communication and attention to detail. She asked questions and everything was great when I got back from my trip. My elderly cat was well cared for. I will definitely book Tricia again!”
“Tabitha was awesome!! First time I left my cat at home alone for more than a day and she definitely helped ease the stress. Very responsive and always raved about my cat, even though I know he can be a handful sometimes haha. Definitely recommend.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 13 years. No kids and or animals at home. I love animals and welcome cats and dogs of any size or breed. I live walking distance from a soccer field with a great track for walks. Both of my senior dogs crossed the rainbow bridge recently and before their passing we had a nice routine going. I work nearby and will come home on my breaks to check on the pups and take them out on pee breaks. I have Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays off, which I normally spend at home or on hikes at local parks. I do not have a fenced in yard. However, I have no issue with pets on the furniture and I have a spare room for crates.
“Kelly was awesome! I had last minute travel plans for the holidays and had never used Rover before, but I’m glad I did! She was prompt, communicative, and sent detailed updates/pictures so I could have peace of mind while away from my kitties. She even went above and beyond by offering to bring in my mail and cleaning up a mess one of my cats made. I would recommend her services to anyone!”
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“Megan did a nice job caring for my cat while I was out of town for the holiday. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and videos. She followed nearly all of my overly picky instructions with feeding, cleanup, toys and safety. I would book again. She seemed to be kind and affectionate with my cat which is very important to me.”
“Chris did everything we asked. Although our cat, Kiku, was a ninja at disappearing, Chris kept her litter box clean and her food and water bowls full. He kept us informed and was always in touch. I would recommend his services.”
“Makai was AMAZING!! He kept us updated the whole time and sent us the cutest pictures of our two kittens. He was kind enough to bring in some packages that were delivered to our house while we were away. We will definitely book Makai again!!”

“Kristy was the most perfect pet sitter for our kitty, Bear. This was our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have been a better experience.

There was no doubt that Bear loved the check in visits with Kristy!”

“Sanya had constant communication with me about my puppy Rome! She sent lovely pictures of her having fun with her dogs on a regular basis. I trust her with my puppy’s care completely! I highly recommend her services. She’s great.”
“Thank you Erica & Christian for keeping Luna entertained for the day. I could tell, from the pics you sent, that she had a fun time and even made new friends. I know she'll be excited to see you all in a month!”
“Communication from the beginning has been fantastic! I was looking for a daycare weeks before I actually needed it because of a relocation and Rachelle and Christopher answered every question and addressed every concern. I have a challenging dog and she’s only ever been in one daycare in her life. She and her sister had an amazing time during their first visit. Driving from Greensboro is totally worth it!”
“Catie was so flexible with drop off and pick up times to accommodate my work hours! Lucy has a great time and she can’t wait to spend some time with Catie and her two pups again! Thanks Catie ☺️”
“Loren took wonderful care of my Shih Tzu, Charlie. She did a great job of introducing her 2 big dogs to little 10lb Charlie. Loren communicated with messages and pictures throughout the day. Charlie was worn out and happy when I picked him up. I will definitely use Loren again when I need care for Charlie.”
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up on a working ranch, which gave me the opportunity to care for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, ferrets, chickens, goats, sheep, donkeys, and horses.etc. That background taught me how to confidently handle animals with a variety of needs, personalities, and energy levels. I have had all breeds of dogs growing up, but currently, at home, I have two large dogs — a Doberman, a Cane Corso, and a boxer/pocket bully mix — so I’m no stranger to strong breeds, high energy, or big personalities. I understand how to manage powerful dogs calmly and safely. I also have three cats. What sets me apart is my wide-ranging animal experience, my confidence with large and exotic pets, and my professional training. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care while following your instructions closely. Whether you’re looking for someone to care for your dogs, exotic pets, or farm animals, I’m here to offer safe, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. I am currently switched my schedule where I work a lot less and pick what days I want to work, so I can have more time on my off days doing what I love best, caring and loving on animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the home with the utmost respect. I follow all care instructions carefully and stick to the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. JUST A HEADS UP! I do require all boarding dogs to come with a crate, for comfort and safety! I understand how important it is to create a safe, stress-free, and trustworthy environment. I’m calm, reliable, and always make sure pets feel seen, heard, and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, administering medications, or just providing company, I handle every task with patience and care. I’m also certified in pet CPR and first aid, which gives added peace of mind in case of an emergency. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe and happy while you’re gone.
“We love Tara and her home! Always so communicative and responsive and Imo bounds right in without any hesitation when we come visit (he has separation anxiety so that means a lot)! Thank you for taking care of our fluffy man Imo!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about this pet sitter. Chris truly went above and beyond—constant communication, thoughtful updates, extra attention to my Gracie, and genuine care. Gracie totally adored him, and I felt completely at ease while I was away from her. A wonderful experience from start to finish.”
“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
“Doggie Day Care with Carrie was a very pleasant experience. My day care request was last minute and Carrie was very accommodating to squeeze me in. My dog, Doug, came home happy and tired from all the exercise he received. I appreciate the care they took with him and definitely would entrust Carrie with watching Doug again Thank you.”
“Melany took great care of Maggie, I got multiple picture updates and Melany has been very responsive and flexible for pick up and drop off time. Will have Maggie stay with her again next time I’m in the area.”
“Cody had a lovely time with Caitlin! And I was completely comfortable that he was being well taken care of, through great communication and photos. We’re so happy to have found Caitlin that we’ve already rebooked Cody to stay with her!”
About: 3. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to each pet. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and preferences, and tailor my care accordingly. I also prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure that they are updated and informed about their pet's well-being while under my care. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that they have a comfortable and safe space to stay in. I provide them with food, water, and toys, and take them on regular walks or playtime. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their routines and schedules as closely as possible and make sure to provide them with the same level of care and attention as if they were in my own home. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to schedule enough time to feed, walk, play with, and care for pets.
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! I currently have two happy pups of my own who are part of my daily routine. We go on multiple walks each day and spend lots of time playing and relaxing together. I work from home as a pharmacist, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work from home, so pet care easily fits into my daily routine. My two dogs keep me active with walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day, and I love having the flexibility to give visiting pups the same attention and care. I treat every pup like part of the family! My home has a fenced in yard and is in a very walkable neighborhood so there are plenty of chances to exercise and play. I keep each dog’s routine consistent with what they’re used to — from feeding and walks to cuddle time. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to give lots of attention, care, and supervision.
About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I've raised them from playful puppies to loyal seniors, so I understand what each stage of life requires. I've always been surrounded by dogs and have looked after pets for friends and family over the years. I know how important it is to give them comfort, consistency, and love while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own!🩷Belly rubs included of course!☺️ I am currently a full time online student so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your furry, loving friend whenever needed. I can perfectly fit them into my routine and adjust as necessary!☺️ Although I don't have a fenced yard, my neighborhood is big with lots of green space to take walks and play. While inside the house, they are free to roam around and cuddle or be crated if needed. If your pup is staying the night, I can ensure they will be comfortable all night long and will be well taken care of.🫶🏻

About: I have a dog of my own that I love to take walks with. I also love going out and running around with him or throwing the frisbee to him. I have dog-sat for my friend in the past and it went very well. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I am someone who loves to be outside and around animals. This is something that will feel natural and mesh well with my life. I will not be able to care for the dogs at my own home due to my childhood dog living there and jealousy/protectiveness being one of his main traits. Although the clients home would be perfect for me. I like to keep dogs on their everyday routine. For example, letting them out typically whenever they usually go outside. Feeding them around the same time the owners do. I am younger so I love to run around with the dogs. I will play with all of their toys with them. I can also chill out, lay down, and pet the dog!

About: I’ve had a passion for dogs and animals from a very young age and have spent most of my life around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience through owning, caring for, and training my own dogs while learning the importance of patience, consistency, structure, and building trust with every animal. For the past year, I’ve been working with dogs professionally through dog walking, pet sitting, basic obedience training, and daily care. During that time, I’ve continued developing my skills in canine behavior, leash handling, crate training, socialization, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m especially passionate about helping dogs become confident, well-mannered companions while making sure they feel safe, exercised, and cared for. My experience as both a lifelong dog owner and a professional pet care provider has taught me that every dog is different and deserves individualized attention, compassion, and understanding. Whether working with puppies, high-energy working breeds, or family pets, I take pride in creating a calm, positive experience for both dogs and their owners. I work from home from 8AM to 5PM. So I have plenty of time in the morning and in the evening for feeding. I also have the freedom of taking breaks to play with your pets regularly. The safety, comfort, and trust of every pet in my care is always my top priority. I work hard to create a calm, structured, and positive environment where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and cared for like family. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and comfort levels, so I take the time to build trust patiently and respectfully. Whether I’m walking, training, or pet sitting, I focus on maintaining safe handling practices, close supervision, clean spaces, and consistent routines. I pay attention to behavior, stress signals, and each pet’s individual needs to help them feel confident and comfortable while away from their owners. As both a lifelong pet owner and someone who works with animals professionally, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

“Danielle was an absolute gem taking care of my dog, Dash. She made sure I stayed updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Dash came home happy and well cared for, and it was clear he enjoyed his time with her. I truly appreciate Danielle’s attentive and loving care, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Rebooked after a great time Bella had with Erica and Christian while I was away for work. This time, I had a family emergency and they were able to squeeze me in last minute, which provided me with so much relief and peace of mind with everything going on. Bella came back and took a long nap after having such a great time which also allowed me to get some much needed rest. They are amazing and can’t recommend them enough!”
“Koya's experience at Christopher's was excellent, he gave me peace of mind with constant updates about her. He's very kind and caring. I will definitely use his service when available. Extremely recommended. Thanks Christopher!”
“I was able to arrange a brief meet-and-greet prior to dropping off my dog. The entire family--including parents, children, and pets--was all very friendly and welcoming to Buddy. They made him feel like part of the pack for an entire week. It took Buddy a few minutes to settle and become comfortable in a house with two other dogs, but pretty soon, he had made two new canine friends. I am grateful for a place he can feel comfortable and save while I am away. I would recommend this sitter to others for their warm and welcoming home.”
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Holly took the best care of our puppies, they didn’t want to leave! Her and her family treated the dogs like their own and sent lots of pictures and updates☺️ will definitely be returning to Holly the next time we’re out of town!!”
“Melany and Flavio did such an amazing job with Daisy. We met a couple of days before dropping her off and they sent pictures during our trip which is greatly appreciated.”
“Stephanie, Matt & their boys are amazing. Jake was very happy their while we were in the Spain & Italy for 18 days. They made him feel at home. I don't think he wanted to leave but did. Was Lost for a couple of days without the boys and dogs to play with. Thank you all so much. Highly recommend them to take great care of our Jake!”
“Excellent experience!! Ashley text photos of our pet and kept us updated since this was our first time using a dog sitter. Our “Bailey” looked happy and content! We anticipate using Ashley again in the future!!”
“We were very happy with Daisy and Harpers stay with Shanna! She is very communicative and easy to work with. Daisy and Harper were very well taken care of and the pictures Shanna sent us from the nature walks were beautiful! We plan to rebook for a summer trip!”
“Carrie and her family are amazing! She kept us updated with photos and all of Harleys activities. I couldn’t have found a better family for him to spend time with. He loves the children and the children loves him. We wanted him to be in an environment similar to our home and found that here with Carrie. Thank you so much! If I ever need help again, I’m always going to bring him here. She gave him a bath and even dried him up for us. He certainly was spoiled!”
“Jane did an amazing job watching my dog, Alfie, over Labor Day weekend! She took such wonderful care of him and even helped me out with a few things I had forgotten to bring. Alfie got plenty of playtime, attention, and love—she played lots of ball with him, which is his favorite. It was clear that Jane truly cared for him, and Alfie absolutely loved his time with her. She was even a little sad to see him go!”
“Catie did a fabulous job with my 93 lb lab! She agreed on short notice (due to a last minute cancellation) & was extremely accommodating. She sent updates & pics each day giving me complete peace of mind. My lab got along great with her 2 dogs & looked completely at ease in the pics. I will definitely use Catie again & highly recommend her!”
“I really can’t begin to express my joy at finding Sanya. She is a natural dog whisperer. I have a rambunctious 86 lb king golden doodle Arlo, he’s stubborn, mischievous and super smart. Sanya handles him with ease. Amira is the other half of this bonded pair 54 lb pyre-doodle. She is skittish and anxiety prone. Oh my goodness. It’s like she spent a week in therapy. She came home a better animal than the one I left. I am a customer for life. Sanya is AWESOME!!”
“Kristal was so sweet. Her and her family took great care of my dog. She even sent me cute pictures of him to let me know he was happy! I would definitely recommend her and will use her in the future as well!”
“Talia did an awesome job with our sweet babies! They were quite nervous and she gave them reassurance and space in a calm environment. She was very communicative with me and made me feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her! ❤️”
