“Peggy was absolutely fantastic! She kept us updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Teddy had an amazing time playing in the yard and going on walks—he came home happy and clearly well cared for. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating when we had to extend Teddy’s stay twice due to weather-related travel delays, which we really appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We would 100% trust Peggy with Teddy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Hannah deserves more than 5 stars. She is truly a gem and easily one of the best on Rover. She provided tons of updates on Oshie and Oshie loved her time with Hannah!”

“I can’t recommend Yenny enough! She has been so attentive and caring with my Ruby. During Ruby’s stay, Yenny noticed the early signs of an ear infection and made sure to keep her ears as clean as possible while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing Ruby was in such capable hands. Yenny always goes above and beyond, and I never have to worry when she’s taking care of my little girl.”
“Samantha was awesome! She was extremely communicative, gave constant updates and made me feel at ease. I was traveling from another state and was nervous to leave Kam but he had a ball and was extremely comfortable with her! Will definitely book her anytime I visit in the future. Can’t say thank you enough”
“Daniella was a great sitter for my dog Panda. Panda is a very unique dog with many quirks and Daniella handled them well. She sent pictures of their time together and made him feel at home. Daniella kept me updated and followed all his care instructions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”

I was updated regularly with pictures while on vacation that made my day. I knew my dog was in safe hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I definitely will use Celeste again.”
“Susan has cared for Toby on several occasions. Toby always comes home happy! Susan is great with him as a senior boy, handling him carefully and giving him his medications.”

“Peyton did a great job dropping off to feed and entertain my 2 cats while I was gone. My place was kept clean and he spent the full 30 minutes with them at each visit.”
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my shy boy! He took to her immediately and really enjoyed having her company while I was out of town. Grace has the magic touch with cranky older cats! She also took great care to keep the space clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Grace and will definitely hire her again when we travel!”
“Lauryn is absolutely amazing!!!! And I think that’s an understatement!!! First of all, I found her on kind of short notice..and I am so incredibly grateful that she confirmed the booking right away! This was her first time taking care of Charlie and Cleo, and I can tell they fell in love with her (and vice versa) 🥹 we were gone for the longest time away from our babies (around 5 days!), but Lauryn took extra special care of them and was so patient. She was very communicative, and I absolutely loved the photos/videos she sent us! I would 1000% book Lauryn again - and highly, highly recommend her!”

I was worried as my cat Oreo is an anxious cat and if she would be ok but Christian made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of.

He went above my expectations!”

It was my first time leaving my baby for that long, and using Rover, and she made the process absolutely perfect! I am so grateful!! 10/10”

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 10 years old. I grew up with two cats and have loved them my whole life. I’ve fostered kittens throughout graduate school and been a resource to anyone in my community needing a little extra support for their feline friends!
“Megan kept really great communication throughout the process, and the notes with pictures were very comforting to us as people who rarely leave their pet alone. We have never let a stranger care for Laila before, but meeting Megan helped me feel so much more comfortable with the idea and place full trust in her. She is a kind and caring sitter who clearly cares for her animals, would definitely recommend!”

“Latrice was available last minute on Christmas eve/Christmas morning of all days. Was literally a lifesaver that she was available last minute on a holiday. My puppy was happy as could be when I picked him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. :) I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”
“Ana was my best experience on rover thus far. She took amazing care of my dog on a difficult day for my fiancée and I. My dog had a great time with her, and she was excellent at communicating. Highly recommend.”
“You can tell Mia has a lot of love for all of the dogs she watches. She made me feel very at ease leaving our separation anxiety ridden pup Stella in her care, and from the photos and videos throughout the day it was clear Stella was very comfortable and making friends! We especially loved the ‘class photo’ Mia sent at the end of the day with all of the daycare pups. Looking forward to our next visit!”
About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.
“Adrienne & Jarrod are incredible! They are kind, responsive, and accommodating which made the experience stress-free. Through the numerous photos they provided it was clear that our dog, Harley, got along very well with Remy and received a great balance of exercise and enrichment throughout the day. Harley can't wait for her next stay!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for family and friends since I was 18. I love meeting new dogs and letting brewer make new pup friends! I’ve been trusted with over night stays, feedings, baths, long walks, etc. I have dog training skills as well such as leash control, obeying commands, etc. I work remotely full time at my own schedule. I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, bathroom breaks, play time, feedings, etc. I am able to keep a crate if needed. My apartment complex has a dog park for playing and I have a super friendly dog to keep your dog entertained and loves to play. I also live a block across from the walking trail which is perfect for walks.
About: I have been taking care of my dog for 6 years and have experience dogsitting for over 10years. My dog loves to have a friend over and we love to make their stay as amazing as we can. As a dog owner, I want to provide the relief that your dog is well taken care of of while you are away 😊 I currently work from home. Your dog would get plenty of walks throughout the day as well as playtime with my dog. I also have a small courtyard they can access for potty breaks and smell breaks. I have a very small fenced in courtyard for potty breaks and just hanging out outside. I take my dog on walks multiple times a day and we have an afternoon/evening playtime session. My dog Charlie, is a gentle giant and loves guests.
“Big milestone for Gus this week—his very first stay with Isabella, and it couldn’t have gone better. 🐾 About a month ago, we did a meet-and-greet so they could get acquainted, and today was the perfect chance for them to spend more time together and strengthen that bond before our trip next week. It means so much knowing he’s becoming comfortable, confident, and happy in her care. Isabella has such a calm, gentle presence, and Gus settled in almost immediately. Even though it was just a day visit, she sent texts and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. The best part? Gus had such a wonderful time that he didn’t even want to go home. 💛 That’s the kind of reassurance every dog parent hopes for!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two family dogs, giving me years of hands on experience with daily care, including walking, feeding, and playtime. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat for friends and helped care for their dogs while they were away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work fully remote, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to take dogs on walks, provide drop in visits, and give them the attention they need. I also enjoy going on walks and runs as part of my own routine, so staying active with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always providing a safe environment. I live in an apartment community with a fenced-in dog park, which provides a secure space for dogs to get exercise and enjoy time outdoors while being closely supervised. I am attentive to each pet’s routine and needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner.
“Ashly was incredible with our little golden doodle pup! We were very nervous at first with a sitter since we only had him for 4 days but she made us feel comfortable and safe!”
About: I'm from generations of animal lovers especially dogs. My Grandparents took in retired racing Greyhounds and from there I learned that animals should be loved and cared for the entirety of their life. For the past three plus years I volunteer walking dogs at my local rescue. I am comfortable walking all size dogs and I have experience walking strong and bouncy dogs. I have patience and understanding of how to allow dogs to greet each other and aware when it's not appropriate. Your dog will enjoy their time walking with me and I can't wait to meet them. I'm in the middle of transitioning my job so right now I am available weekdays through 5:00 pm to walk dogs or play with them in your yard. I can ensure that your dog is safe in their crate/home environment. I am happy to clean any mess they may have made, and I am happy to provide them a fresh bowl of water or food.

“I had such a great experience! One of my dogs is usually very shy around new people, but she was so gentle and patient with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker, and I plan on reaching out again if I need help in the future!”
About: I grew up in a pet loving household with cats, dogs and the occasional hamster or two. My husband and I now have a sassy 13 year old calico named Mittens and our newest addition is a rescue puppy called Leia. We also recently had to say goodbye to our senior dog Arlie. I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats throughout their life stages and changing needs. I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Afternoons specifically I am usually wide open and love getting a good walk in with a pup! My weekends tend to be very flexible as well. I treat your pets as I do my own with lots of care, attention and love. After a life spent around pets I'm very good at reading their emotions and will do my best to have a fun and safe time together.
“The dogs loved their walk with Kaitlyn. They were tuckered out when they got back and slept soundly while I worked from home. Perfect situation! Can’t wait for their next walk today!”
About: I have pet sat for family members, friends, and others throughout high school, college, as well as post college. I grew up with multiple dogs and a cat and love to make them feel as safe and loved as possible. I love to go on walks and would love to bring a dog along with me! I work from home, therefore I have a flexible schedule. I am available during lunch breaks, mornings, or anytime after 5 PM. Times can be discussed. I live in an apartment with no room mates. I live in a spacious and comfortable home. If I were to provide services in other homes, I would make sure to provide lots of care, attention, and pets.

“Kelly is the best! She’s on time and reliable. Our dog loves his walks with Kelly. She goes above and beyond. Great with our elderly kitty as well. We will be booking Kelly again!!”
“This was our first experience we had working with a dog walker . Rachel absolutely loves dogs. She happily met with us a couple of times for a meet and greet. Once at her house and once at ours. We loved that she sent pictures, showed us the walking route, and gave us a doggie report after each walk. The days she was scheduled to walk were hot and her flexibility to come earlier than planned was highly appreciated. We will certainly use Rachel again.”
“Hi Anthony-I appreciated you being available in short notice. And I’m grateful for the time you gave on Friday. I am going to cancel the bookings for this week though because the extra dog fee was more than I am used to paying for a 30 minute walk. It has nothing to do with you - you were great.”

About: I’ve been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was 10!

I currently have a lot of free time and would love to explore the city with a furry friend!

I am also extremely experienced with houseplants and available to care for plants while pet sitting in-home.
About: I stand out as a dog sitter because I treat every dog like my own—with genuine care, patience, and attention to their unique personality.

I have key fobs in and out of my complex as well as the rail trail to safely walk on back and forth with police around.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, including all throughout college, and have experience with everything from basic care to delivering medications to playtime to get out some energy! I trained two puppies myself and helped care for dogs through all life stages, including for my friends and family as well as my own. I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to break free for midday walk-breaks, medication schedules, and feeding times, and have the ability to stay overnight to ensure no lonely pets! While I can’t currently have pets in my own home, I do have a dog park, know the greenways and walking paths of the area, and can also take care of pets in the comfort of their own home! Whatever your pets routine and comfort level is, I can adhere to!
