“Gail did an amazing job with our girls. It was the first time they had stayed with anyone while we went away. They were better behaved for her than they are for us. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Best sitter ever. I will be using her again and again. My cavapoo adores her. She is so good with animals and I trust her 100% sent me updates everyday while i took my vacation”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we were quite nervous. Mitzi invited us for a meet and greet to make sure she would be able to meet Sweet Pea's needs. From first communication until the time we picked up Sweet Pea, her service and communication were excellent. Thank you, Mitzi!”
“Kelli and Jake took such wonderful care of Herschel! I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Our flight got delayed 9 hours & they were so kind in being flexible and caring for him!”
“Randi is amazing! She was flexible with my schedule, kind, and sent the cutest pictures / updates which I really appreciated. I’m new to the area and very happy to have found a reliable pet sitter that my dog loves.”
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I try to match their routine and make things as stress-free as possible. I’m easy to reach, send updates and photos, and I’m always happy to help, even with last-minute plans. At the end of the day, I just want you to feel confident knowing your pet is being well taken care of. I typically work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends so I have plenty of time to tend to the needs of the fur babies. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I can walk your pets as much as you like but I usually walk them 2-4 hours. I have a friendly pup named Yani that will keep your babies company while visiting my home. I’ll treat your pets like family, with love and care!
“Milika was great with my pup. She sent daily pictures and even some videos. She spoiled my pup and you could tell in the videos that he really enjoyed spending time with her. I would recommend her services.”
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Ahlana, did a fantastic job looking over my fur baby Spadey. He came back like his normal self where in the past with other sitters he came back anxious and bewildered. I wish I could have received more photos or videos during the stay, but that’s minor in comparison to my baby coming back happy.”
“Another great experience for my dog Jackson! Mafe kept him safe and happy, also took tons of pictures so I didn’t worry too much. Will be booking with her every time I leave town 👍🏾👍🏾”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. From puppies to senior dogs. Ive turned aggressive dogs calm. Understanding your dog and its triggers are key. I will treat your pet like it’s my own. Lots of love and playful stimulation. I’m not just watching your dog, I’m creating a bond. Creating a safe space for your pup to be able to relax and have fun. Building trust with you is step 1. I’m currently working full time but I can move my schedule around as needed. At the moment weekends are best to watch your fur babies. I have an open yard. Not big but big enough to play. I use e collars to help direct playtime and to have control over them as needed. Dogs roam freely in the house when I am home. They go in crate if I am not. Multiple post breaks and plenty of playtime and healthy stimulation
“First time getting a sitter for our dog and would definitely do it again! Kassie was flexible and shared plenty of pictures while we were out of town. Her sweet dog Benji gets along well with other pups and for sure helped my dog be more comfortable. Our dog enjoyed her stayed and the trips to the dog park!”
“Elaine and her family were wonderful. They treated my dogs like their own. Elaine handled my rambunctious 1 year old dog, Annika like a professional dog trainer and Goose, my 4 year old, enjoyed home school with her daughters. Petunia, Elaine's family dog is very sweet and gets along very well with other dogs. I will definitely look to Elaine in the future for any pet boarding needs.”
About: I have taken care of animals big and small, disability’s and special needs included, for many years. I am very flexible and a responsible young adult that would love to spend time with your pet regardless:) I’m currently working full time. I am a very aware and responsible person. I am responsive to unsettling situations without hesitation, and I know many things about an animal's body language and habits overall. I work every weekday 6am-2:30pm and I’m off every weekend.

About: Hey! I’m Mars, your dog’s new favorite guy 🐶😎 I’m a fun, reliable, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping their routine on track, I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how hard it is to be away from your dog, so I send photo and video updates to keep you smiling and worry-free.

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend 🐕✨ I’m currently working full-time Monday through Friday and I’m off on the weekends so I have plenty of free time to attend to your dog! I have a fence yard and one dog that’s very friendly, but for my preference, my dog will be in a separate area than your dog, because your dog is the number one priority and safety as well I live alone, so your dog is like part of the family, I also recommend you provide your own crate. And provide any special toys that your dog enjoys playing with that will make his/her stay enjoyable.

“Kelly responded quickly and was very easy to work with. I felt comfortable selecting her as my dog's interim caregiver while I was away for an event. We did a meet & greet, my dog loved her, and the entire process went smoothly. As a Rover user of nearly a decade (and a nervous dog mom), I am pleased to have found Kelly.”
About: I’ve always had a special love for cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet environment and gentle attention, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home where your cat can relax and receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. Having volunteered with animal shelters and cared for pets throughout my life, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a low-stress environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I will treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member!

“Carley went above and beyond to take care of our fur babies! I had timers on my sprinklers for all of my flowers, which Carley realized were not set correctly.

“Haley was awesome with our frenchie and two cats. This was our first time using Rover. She followed all the instructions for our babies. She made sure they received the attention they deserved and sent update photos for every visit. She was also on time every visit as well. She is much appreciated for the care she provided while me and my wife were away on vacation and I highly recommend her to others, and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I have two cats of my own at home, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for my cats has given me hands-on experience with daily feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of attention. What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I bring to every animal I look after. I’m attentive to details, from following specific feeding instructions to recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in pets. I also know how to build trust with shy or anxious animals, which helps them feel at ease while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available when needed. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust my availability to match your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily check-ins, feeding, walks, or playtime, I can reliably be there at the times you prefer. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I make their comfort and safety my top priorities. When caring for cats in your home, I follow feeding schedules exactly, refresh water daily, and keep litter boxes clean. I’m careful to ensure doors and windows stay secure, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or appetite. I also spend quality time with each cat, whether that’s playtime, brushing, or simply providing a quiet presence so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Isabel took such good care of our two cats and they just adore her. Her communication and response to us was very punctual and every detail we asked was taken care of. I highly recommend Isabel for your pet care needs.”
“Jackie was great! Was communicating the entire time she was taking care of my pets, sent many photos each day and was flexible with her schedule to accommodate my pets needs! Will be using Jackie in the future !!”
“Makayla was kind and from what I can tell our pet was taken care of. Some concerns I had were the amount of communication throughout the boarding process, but she did return my pet and items in good condition. I will also say that she did stay in a smoking environment at the time of my booking, so if this will bother your pet please consider your options.”
About: I have been around dogs literally my whole life. I don't remember a time since I was born that I didn't have a dog. From sleeping on our pit bull as a toddler to rescuing a shelter baby to keep me company at college dogs have been an amazing part of my story. I'd even like to think that because of my fur babies I was more prepared to taken on the new journey of becoming a parent of an amazing little girl. Because of these experiences, I have learned many things about not only catering to a variety of personalities, but being creative in entertainment and time management. With these skills and all the added free time I have now that my daughter has started school I can assure you that not only will I be easily accessible for your needs, but I will make sure that you and your pet are sure to have a comfortable and enjoyable time using my services.

About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth sport camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 4 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 2 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together! I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend 🐕✨ I’m currently working full-time Monday through Friday and I’m off on the weekends so I have plenty of free time to attend to your dog! I have a fence yard and one dog that’s very friendly, but for my preference, my dog will be in a separate area than your dog, because your dog is the number one priority and safety as well I live alone, so your dog is like part of the family, I also recommend you provide your own crate. And provide any special toys that your dog enjoys playing with that will make his/her stay enjoyable.
“Cheryl is 10+/10. She is accepting and the BEST in caring for my deaf sweet, sometimes determined Jack Russell mix who has her own mind. We were truly blessed when Cheryl came into our lives.”
About: I have been a life long pet owner. From Dachsunds, Jack Russell Terriers and Chihuahuas I've cared for many breeds. I was taught by my father from a young age how to properly care for a pet. I earned my degree in December and have struggled with finding jobs in that field. As someone who already cares for a dog at home, I'm looking to incorporate pet care into my routine to be able earn a little extra money and to be able to help people who have jobs with their own pet care. I'd like to be able create a safe environment not only for pets to play but for them to learn. Building a connection with an animal is very important. To earn their trust and respect is an important step in this line of work for me. Keeping the pet safe from both physical and emotional harm is a necessity.

When I was down they were there for me, so thats why I want to be there for them. Im currently not working right now. I am available anythime. I am willing to take care of any of your pets for as long as you need. I take good care of my pets. I make sure that they are fed and water. When they need or want to go outside, they will be taken care of.
“Kristen has a wonderful personality and made me and Gye, my 1 year old Akita, feel secure about her services. Nothing but good vibes. Her knowledge of greeting him, and handling him worked very well. She was extremely flexible, responsive and professional in our phone, text and email conversations. She followed the protocol left for her with no problems at all. I highly recommend her and will look to connect with her again. Thanks Kristen!”

“Gail did an amazing job with our girls. It was the first time they had stayed with anyone while we went away. They were better behaved for her than they are for us. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Kelli and Jake took such wonderful care of Herschel! I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Our flight got delayed 9 hours & they were so kind in being flexible and caring for him!”
“Randi is amazing! She was flexible with my schedule, kind, and sent the cutest pictures / updates which I really appreciated. I’m new to the area and very happy to have found a reliable pet sitter that my dog loves.”
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I try to match their routine and make things as stress-free as possible. I’m easy to reach, send updates and photos, and I’m always happy to help, even with last-minute plans. At the end of the day, I just want you to feel confident knowing your pet is being well taken care of. I typically work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends so I have plenty of time to tend to the needs of the fur babies. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I can walk your pets as much as you like but I usually walk them 2-4 hours. I have a friendly pup named Yani that will keep your babies company while visiting my home. I’ll treat your pets like family, with love and care!
“Milika was great with my pup. She sent daily pictures and even some videos. She spoiled my pup and you could tell in the videos that he really enjoyed spending time with her. I would recommend her services.”
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Another great experience for my dog Jackson! Mafe kept him safe and happy, also took tons of pictures so I didn’t worry too much. Will be booking with her every time I leave town 👍🏾👍🏾”
“First time getting a sitter for our dog and would definitely do it again! Kassie was flexible and shared plenty of pictures while we were out of town. Her sweet dog Benji gets along well with other pups and for sure helped my dog be more comfortable. Our dog enjoyed her stayed and the trips to the dog park!”
“Elaine and her family were wonderful. They treated my dogs like their own. Elaine handled my rambunctious 1 year old dog, Annika like a professional dog trainer and Goose, my 4 year old, enjoyed home school with her daughters. Petunia, Elaine's family dog is very sweet and gets along very well with other dogs. I will definitely look to Elaine in the future for any pet boarding needs.”

“Matt and his family really took care of my German Shepherd Dog, Skye. He knows the characteristics and nature of GSD and he dealt with bigger dogs before so we put trust in him. We made a right choice!! He updated every day about the summary of the day with pictures. He and his family included my dog as their family and I could tell that she was in good hands!! They made my dog feel comfortable and made her feel at home. We will most definitely choose him as our dog sitter. I think Skye will like that too!!!”
