“Lindy is amazing. Our dog is shy and timid but she warmed up to Lindy and her family. Our dog loves other dogs so along with her two dogs, she played and enjoyed their company. We received regular communication and pictures each day. She has a very big fenced in yard!! I am highly recommending Lindy. We are very impressed with our experience.”
“Jennifer is kind and friendly to both people and dogs. She even sent photos of Daisy while we were away so we could see that all was well. We will ask Jennifer to keep our pup again I'm sure.”
“Victor is absolutely AMAZING! ? Helped us out very last minute and took excellent care of my boi! Victor communicated well, put all my fears to rest and allowed me to enjoy an event without the stress of worrying over my dog. Thank you, Victor!”
“Hands down the best experience we have had. She was caring, accommodating, understanding and looked after our two dogs like they were her own. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise and was flexible with our schedule. In 3 years of using Rover, this was our best experience without question. Thank you so much.”
“So thankful for a great experience!! Pictures and updates daily made us feel very comfortable while on vacation. We plan to have Abriana care for our dog Ace when needed in the future!”
“Absolutely awesome caretaker of our English Bulldog. She was attentive and communicated some health concerns that's may have led to more serious issues. We are so thankful to have found Isabella on Rover. She may have helped save our dog! She sent pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit to the vet I recommend 5 stars!”
“Heather is an awesome dog caretaker. She is very responsive for the owner and the pet. We were gone a long time and she made us better about being gone so long. She will always be my first go to for Lola. If she’s not available, would probably cry. Maybe not cry but any other caretaker has some big shoes to fill.”
“Blake had a great stay at Annie's. He was excited to be with her and so comfortable throughout his stay. Annie sent happy pictures throughout. Great peace of mind tha Blake was so well cared for.”
“My pups, one elderly and one young and rambunctious spent 9 nights while I was in Europe. My babies are treated like family, lots of pics and updates. I never have to worry when they stay with Lucia and Rob.”
“We had never used a dog sitter before and were leary of using one. We found Lilli through Rover and brought our two dogs to her home so they could meet her dogs and to see if we were a good fit for each other. Our dogs loved her dogs and her home and they had a great time staying there. We highly recommend Lilli and will use her services again.”
“We were very thankful Mary was available to watch Odin and Oakley! We had a great meet and greet and we felt our pups would be in great hands! They enjoyed their stay with much outdoor play and we knew they would be well cared for. Thank you!”
“Brittany took such great care of my dogs. She asked questions to prepare for their visit and kept me updated the whole time. I know they got great care with her and had a great time.”
“This was my first time using Rover and seperating from my 2 mini goldendoodles for more than a few hours. Evelin was very caring and loving towards both my dogs and not only her but all her family, they treated them like it was their dogs which I loved and amazed how fast my dogs felt like at home with her. She sents pictures and made sure to remind me everything was okay and to enjoy my vacations. I couldn't thank her enough for all she did, I look forward to booking with her again for any overnight boarding in the future! I highly recommend booking your fur baby's stay with Evelin! ❤️”
“Kylo had such a great time with Melanie! We received constant pictures and updates and were completely at ease during our time out of town. Melanie really loves pups and it shows! Kylo can be anxious in new environments but she seemed to settle down with Melanie in no time! Would definitely recommend Melanie/book with her again!”
“Taylor did a great job with our Old English Bully. Our Luna is a high energy unique Bully and Taylor was able to keep up! Taylor has great communication and she is mindful about the dogs needs and behaviors. Luna had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”
“Ashley was amazing with Sosa. First, She was very accommodating. greeted us with a warm welcome. We will definitely use her again.Also. our Sosa loved her dog Emma!!! Ashley sent pictures and videos to kep us updated about his stay. Thank you Ashley for a wonderful time!!”
About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!

“While being out of town for four days, I had complete peace of mind that my four cats were being taken care of. Christy showed up at her drop in times and stayed long enough to take care of everything and interact with my cats. I would recommend Christy”
“Emily always takes great care of both of cats. She is attentive and make sure the cats have everything they need and a little play time as well. She is always communicates any issues or concerns and goes above and beyond with her visits Highly recommend her to take care of your pets”
“Ariana accepted our booking almost last minute when we found that we had to travel out of state. They were able to visit our three "gentlemen" daily and ensure they were fed, had water and took time to interact and play with them. They also ensured the litter was fresh and sent us daily reports with pictures. We very much appreciated the peace of mind and the boys were very happy with them as well! Thank you!”
About: I have always loved all kinds of pets, and cats are no exception. I absolutely love listening to them motor away while I pet them, or just appreciate their presence as they do their own thing from a distance! I have experience caring for a few senior cats, including ones with hip dysplasia or kidney issues that require oral medication.
About: Hi! My name is Taylor and I am a caring, responsible, and patient pet lover. I have experience caring for a variety of different animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, and fish. I enjoy spending my time with animals and would love to my spend my time caring for your animals! Please reach out if you have any more questions and I would be glad to answer them. :) I am currently working remotely full time so I would be able to give your animals lots of attention in the mornings and evenings but I will also be able to check on them throughout my work hours. I like to meet with pet parents before staying in their home to learn their routine and how they care for their animals. I like to make a list of all the things pet parents tell me so I can ensure that I provide the best care for their animals.
About: Along with my experiences with Dogs, I'm also verses in the world of cats! Whether they're shy and playful, or sassy and cute, I love them all! Taking care of cats of my own has gained me knowledge in how to tell when they're in a playful mood, back off when they need some space, and of course, when to bring in the meowmix! ;) Playtime will also be in the running for when they want to! I also surprisingly enjoy my own ritual of cleaning the litter box! Please consider me for you Kitty care ❤
“Kimberly was great and we felt at ease while on our trip! We are a bit of a unique pet-sitting client as we have two cats of our own and then also foster. Kimberly took care of a total of 5 adult cats and 4 two-week old kittens for us while we were away for a long weekend. We came back to happy and fed cats, which is exactly what we asked for.”
About: I honestly haven't had cats for too long. Finding my first stray while in college and raising her until her passing. Had others cats including 2 siamese mixes and a Russian blue. Cats seems to enjoy my calmness and cleanliness.
About: I love taking care of and playing with animals, and am looking to spend time with your critters, whether dog, cat, bird, or beast. I grew up on a farm around chickens, horses, dogs, and pigs, and I've always had a connection with animals and find their presence comforting. I can come and check in on your loved ones and feed them and play with them. I have my own dog whom I love very much and I enjoy showering any and all animals I meet with attention. I'm most experienced with dogs, but I'm a quick learner and enjoy learning how to take care of all animals. I have very little experience administering medications, but am willing to learn, if shown how or given detailed instructions.

About: Hello! My name is Katelyn and I am a true animal lover! I have a B.A. in Animal Science, Production, and Business Management. I have worked with animals in various settings: •veterinary clinic/hospital •daycare/boarding facility for dogs •animal shelter •dairy farm These jobs have allowed me to gain more animal handling skills, breed knowledge, behavior and body language! I have one dog of my own named Birdie, and one in heaven named Snorty. Both are Labrador Retrievers, who loves playing fetch, swimming, and car rides. Animals have always played a huge part of who I am today. Your animal will be treated properly and showered with love. I thank you for your consideration and I cannot wait to meet all the fur babies! I work M-F at my full time job. I can be flexible and we can arrange around times if need too- just know I have a job that I have to be at 8am-6pm.

I know how to administer medicine, if needed. Also, know what signs to look for when an animal is sick. Having a dog myself, I will care and love your fur baby like it’s my own!
About: I have fostered a lot of cats. They have a soft spot in my heart. I think I’m personally good at reading a cat’s body language because their personalities can definitely range from the crazy orange tabby to the judgey calico or the lazy Persian 😂. I’ve never trained a cat but am a reliable litter box cleaner.

“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
“Chelsey is amazing and was an absolute lifesaver! I unexpectedly had to work remotely out of town and needed last minute help with my dog. I messaged her early that morning on a whim, and she responded immediately. She even came to pick my dog up so I could clock in at a decent time, which meant so much. She kept my dog all day, took her on two walks, gave her play time, plenty of potty breaks, and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. When I picked her up, my dog was SO happy and playing with the other dogs which is huge because she’s not always the best with other dogs. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Chelsey for all your fur babies’ needs and will absolutely be using her services again in the future whenever possible!”
“Thank you so much. Abriana is literally a professional with animals. She had a very quick response time which saved our entire trip, which has happened twice to us now thanks to this service. Abriana recently moved, but she is so devoted to caring for animals that getting her home set up to serve seemed to be top priority. Our pup took to her immediately and we could tell he enjoyed both her large yard and doggie friendly home between the picture updates and his big doggie nap immediately after we picked him up to go home. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and thanks again!!”
About: I have always loved animals of all kinds. It started when I was a little girl and I was constantly bringing animals home with me! During my husband's time in the USAF, we moved around for 26 years and in our final tour, we were stationed near a dog grooming school. I decided to go to school while grooming my own dogs at home! I was disappointed one afternoon after spending 8 hours grooming my dogs that I didn't have more to groom! Once my husband retired from the Air Force we were able to build my shop. I have owned the Grooming Gazebo for 9 years now and have decided to expand my business! I have added the Getaway for dogs to be able to stay while their parents are on vacation! I absolutely love dogs and especially love taking care of them! We have a 70 acre farm and your pup could enjoy long walks and a completely fenced in yard with a nice porch to sit on just in case they decide to hang out! If you would like to come check us out, please give us a call!
“Lucia is, by far, the best dog sitter we have ever trusted our dog with. She’s incredibly attentive and flexible with our schedule, and our dog loves seeing her every time we drop him off. She is amazing, and we would give her 10 stars if we could! Thank you Lucia!”
“Jennifer and her fur babies were very welcoming. My little Lupe was a little shy initially but Jennifer helped her feel right at home. This is the first time that Lupe stays somewhere without her brother and I think I was more stressed about it than she was. Jennifer sent me pictures of Lulu having a good time and it immediately calmed me down. Thank you Jennifer!”
“We had a great day! Whitney was awesome. She let me run & play with her dogs. She took me for walks. She even let me sit on her lap..., not that I gave her much choice! LOL. Mom said I could come back anytime. I sure hope it's soon!! --- Bronwyn, Rottweiler dog”
“Melanie was great! I reached out to her on short notice for doggy daycare and she was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and took Oakley on walks. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
About: My husband and I have had many pets over the years---dogs, cats and small animals. We have experience, patience and energy for puppies up to senior dogs. We both work from home and make our own schedules so we are able to adjust our schedule to YOUR schedule. We can do daily walks, feeding and boarding in our home. We have a fully fenced in area for potty breaks and play. Our home is dog proofed and safe for puppies as well. We have 2 pups of our own who love to play with other dogs--big and small :)
About: Hi! I’m Kat — and I offer personalized walks and enrichment as a trusted extension of your dog’s care team. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. They’re family. Clear communication and consistency matter, and I take that seriously. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust — with both you and your pup. You’ll receive thoughtful updates that include notes on energy, potty, behavior, and anything I’m noticing (because yes, I absolutely pay attention to the details). I truly treat each dog as the individual they are. Some are bold explorers. Some are thoughtful observers. Some love a purposeful walk, while others prefer a slower pace with time to sniff and take it all in. I adjust each visit based on age, health, temperament, and your household routines — meeting your dog where they are and supporting what helps them thrive. I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities. I’m mindful at doors, leashes, transitions, and the environment around us so your dog’s experience is secure, structured, and positive.

“Charlotte had a great day with Lilli and her family! We are thinking she will be in the rotation now for my Charli girl. So many cute pics and I could tell she was loved. I was nervous since it was a first day. But Charlotte was tired when she came home so she must have been played and cuddled. We look forward to spending the week with Lilli and her pups!”
About: I've had dogs and cats (and everything else in between) for as long as I can remember! I've walked, boarded, and house-sat for cats and dogs of all kinds. I'm in an in-between phase of life and have a very flexible schedule. Let me know how I can help you with your furry friends! Walks/Runs/Drop-ins: I'm currently not working so I am VERY flexible! With that being said, I still like keeping a schedule of some sort. If you are looking for something consistent throughout the week, I'd love to discuss how I can help with a routine that works for you. House-sitting: I've watched up to three dogs for 8 days. I'm open to pretty much anything but would like to meet your pups/cats/other beforehand. I can board but that is dependent on the dog since I have a cat at home. Open to discussion! My home has a fenced in yard for those pups that want to roam.
“Jacki was amazing with my puppy! She is very flexible and accommodating. My puppy is not fully potty trained or crate trained yet and it was difficult to find someone to take him. Jacki was a lifesaver! She was the perfect fit for us. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up I was around breeds such as Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Chows, German Shepards, Poodles and Lhasa Apsos. The first time I became a dog mom was to Zoe, a Bichon Frise. I lived in Chicago at the time in an apartment so I had to walk her multiple times a day. Bichons also need a lot of maintenance with their fur, so I’m very familiar with grooming methods of that type of breed. After Zoe, I became a dog mom to a Pit Bull/German Shepherd puppy, Garner. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and had him for 13.5 years. I understand the level of care a puppy needs as well as a senior dog. I’m also very familiar with handling large breeds on a leash. I understand how a pet is part of the family and I will show your dog lots of love and affection, just like I would my own. I am available Monday-Friday 8am-2pm then from 6pm-8pm. I’m available 7am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Please contact me if you need help outside of those times and I can try to work with you. I’m not able to keep your dog in my home, but I will always make sure your dog is safe in your home. I will always follow your safety protocols.

I have a lot of experience with senior animals and pets with special needs as well :). I work part time Monday through Friday but I am always off work by 3pm at the latest (often earlier). But outside of work I have no other responsibilities that cannot be adjusted to fit around your pets schedule!

About: I grew up in a family that love dogs, so pretty much i’ve been around dogs my whole life and all types of them! I am trying to work my way to be a vet technician, but for a side hustle I thought doing what i love would be best which ofc working with animals! I am very reliable and my schedule is pretty flexible! I am working on getting a part time job but for right now I am completely free to watch your fur babies. After 11:00am Monday-Sunday! I will come and let your dogs out as many times as you prefer me to, and stay a little while so they can get out the crate and exercise their legs. I can even feed them if you ain’t gonna have enough time.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they get the proper care they need. All of my family has relied on me to potty train their dogs. I have experience with multiple different breeds because I worked at a boarding/training facility. I am currently on summer break because I am a teacher so I have plenty of availability. I’m a morning person so I typically get up then feed and walk my dogs then tackle whatever the day brings. I’m only not available on Tuesday evenings. I follow your pet's established routine, stick to their feeding schedule, and keep everything exactly as you left it. Whether your pet stays in their own familiar environment or we are somewhere new I'm fully present and attentive the entire visit. Pets are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar spaces, and I always follow each pet's routine to keep them stress-free and at ease.
About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !

“Lindy is amazing. Our dog is shy and timid but she warmed up to Lindy and her family. Our dog loves other dogs so along with her two dogs, she played and enjoyed their company. We received regular communication and pictures each day. She has a very big fenced in yard!! I am highly recommending Lindy. We are very impressed with our experience.”
“Hands down the best experience we have had. She was caring, accommodating, understanding and looked after our two dogs like they were her own. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise and was flexible with our schedule. In 3 years of using Rover, this was our best experience without question. Thank you so much.”
“So thankful for a great experience!! Pictures and updates daily made us feel very comfortable while on vacation. We plan to have Abriana care for our dog Ace when needed in the future!”
“Absolutely awesome caretaker of our English Bulldog. She was attentive and communicated some health concerns that's may have led to more serious issues. We are so thankful to have found Isabella on Rover. She may have helped save our dog! She sent pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit to the vet I recommend 5 stars!”
“Heather is an awesome dog caretaker. She is very responsive for the owner and the pet. We were gone a long time and she made us better about being gone so long. She will always be my first go to for Lola. If she’s not available, would probably cry. Maybe not cry but any other caretaker has some big shoes to fill.”
“Blake had a great stay at Annie's. He was excited to be with her and so comfortable throughout his stay. Annie sent happy pictures throughout. Great peace of mind tha Blake was so well cared for.”
“We had never used a dog sitter before and were leary of using one. We found Lilli through Rover and brought our two dogs to her home so they could meet her dogs and to see if we were a good fit for each other. Our dogs loved her dogs and her home and they had a great time staying there. We highly recommend Lilli and will use her services again.”
“We were very thankful Mary was available to watch Odin and Oakley! We had a great meet and greet and we felt our pups would be in great hands! They enjoyed their stay with much outdoor play and we knew they would be well cared for. Thank you!”
“Brittany took such great care of my dogs. She asked questions to prepare for their visit and kept me updated the whole time. I know they got great care with her and had a great time.”
“Kylo had such a great time with Melanie! We received constant pictures and updates and were completely at ease during our time out of town. Melanie really loves pups and it shows! Kylo can be anxious in new environments but she seemed to settle down with Melanie in no time! Would definitely recommend Melanie/book with her again!”
“Taylor did a great job with our Old English Bully. Our Luna is a high energy unique Bully and Taylor was able to keep up! Taylor has great communication and she is mindful about the dogs needs and behaviors. Luna had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”
“Ashley was amazing with Sosa. First, She was very accommodating. greeted us with a warm welcome. We will definitely use her again.Also. our Sosa loved her dog Emma!!! Ashley sent pictures and videos to kep us updated about his stay. Thank you Ashley for a wonderful time!!”
About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“Rebeka was absolutely amazing with our dog. He was new to us and we had never boarded him before. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. She sent multiple updates and photos to help put me at ease. She listened to our requests and did a phenomenal job. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“Kat took such great care of Tux! She came home happy and so much less stressed than when she has to stay at a boarder. She sent me pictures of the fun and cuddles they shared. I will definitely rebook for our next weekend trip!”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”
“We are so glad to have found Isabel! Both our dogs had a wonderful time with her family, her dogs, and other guests while we were out of town for a week. She kept us updated and sent many photos to our delight. We trust her and feel comfortable leaving our dogs with her. Highly recommend!”
