“Lucy had a great time w the family and came home tired. David was quick to respond w any questions or if I just needed to check in. I will certainly try to book them again in the future. Thanks for taking such good care of my girl.”
“My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Teresa. We did an initial meet and greet and knew her and her family would take good care of Onyx. Teresa kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout the stay. She took the time to ask questions to learn what Onyx liked and didn't like, and what his normal routine was. We would recommend Teresa and use her services again in the furture. We're so glad Onyx was able to stay with her loving family who showed him the same attention he receives at home.”
“So happy we found Marilyn and her family to board my miniature schnauzer for 6 days. They are all love for dogs and Tita felt that instantly since it is all she needs. I was so relaxed during my vacations since I would receive daily updates and pictures. It was also fun for Tita since she even received Puppy cups. Marilyn and the kids took care of our puppy as if she was their own. As I told her, they are all love for animals, definitely very special people with a big heart. Oh since they are going to miss her, we already booked for next month for our beach getaway :)”
“Amanda took such amazing care of our Winston. We never had to worry once because she was so incredibly proactively communicating and sending pictures. Over the moon pleased with Winston staying in Amanda’s care, will absolutely be a returning client!”
“I’m so glad I found Lauren! She is very easy to work with, has a fantastic set up (with a huge fenced-in yard), and understands and loves dogs. I’ve already recommended her to two friends.”
“Nova had a great time with Shawn and Charles! Their backyard was perfect for her to get out all of her energy with a chuck-it, and there were large windows to lazily gaze out while relaxing around. They went above and beyond for Nova’s water-dog tendencies by allowing her to splash in the bath after getting hot. She also came home with some homemade treats! 🥰”
“Kenan and Kayleigh were so amazing. This was the first ever time our pups stayed with someone other than family. They provided updates regularly and really worked to make sure our dogs were comfortable, despite one of them having major anxiety. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“She did a fantastic job looking after our puppy, Thor. She was very patient and treated him like a member of her own family. I’m grateful for all the photos and videos she sent me. 100% recommended.”
“Mary is fantastic! She took both my dogs for a week and they were cared for in a safe place with exercise, tons of snuggles, a beautiful fenced yard, and the company of her two friendly dogs. The easy communication with Mary and her easy going attitude makes you feel like you are leaving your dogs with a trusted friend you’ve known for years . This has been the most positive pet sitting experience I’ve ever had using Rover. Thank you Mary for looking after the doodles like your own.”
“We are so happy we picked Amanda to look after Grizzly for a week. Grizzly had plenty of play time with her other dogs. Amanda provided us updates while we were away. She definitely treated Grizzly as one of her own.”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
“Awesome sitter! Definitely will book again in the future. Compared to most sitters, I could definitely tell from pictures of his stay that my pup was much happier with Miyu! She was able to provide him with the perfect amount of attention.”
“I can’t recommend Krystina C. enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—so kind and attentive. My pup loved all the walks and playtime, especially with her dog! It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals. As a bonus, she even gave me some great recommendations for new food. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, Krystina is the one to call!”
“10/10 recommend Emily. She is super responsive, kind, and my dog seemed to genuinely be having a great time in all of the photo updates and videos I received each day I was away.”
“Our pitbull, Molly, had a wonderful stay at Mario and Sharee’s country home. It was so beautiful that I wanted to stay too! There was so much room for Molly to run around and enjoy the outdoors daily. They were so attentive to Molly as she had some stomach issues initially and they stayed in touch daily. Molly adjusted nicely and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the care and love she received. This is our new rover home that I will always reach out to first. Thank you!!❤️🐶”

“Ashley took great care of my cats while I was out of town for a couple days. It was so nice to have peace of mind that my cats were well taken care of and to receive picture updates while I was gone. 10/10 would book again.”
“Caitlin was so attentive and caring with our home and pets. She definitely loved them as her own and gave us wonderful updates and took the time they needed. We will be reaching back out to her in the future. It’s difficult to find someone you can trust and she is very kind as well as trusting. Thank you again so much again”
About: I've been caring for pets since I was young (including dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs) and I currently have 3 cats. 2 of my cats are declawed and get along with the dogs, 1 cat has claws. I'm use to caring for the unique needs of senior pets, including extra bathroom breaks and administering meds. I have three kids, 2 in college and a 17yo, that love pets as well and assist when they can. I live on 12 acres well away from the road but the yard is not fenced. I opened a business in town 9/2021 so I'm no longer home during the day but my husband works from home and when the kids are home from college they assist. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pet(s)! My husband works from home so he can care for them and keep them company during the day. I own a business in town and am usually home by 4pm. I have three kids that love dogs and assist when schedules permit. My cats also get along well with dogs. Dogs are not allowed on furniture but we do play with them if they are the playing kind or let them sleep if that is their preference.
“Excellent service Fantastic with the cats lots of attention! They usually hide from strangers but they come out when Meredith check in . They truly like her. Thank you sooo much Meredith for taking good care of my cats. I feel relaxed and confident they are in good hands!”
“This was the longest I’ve ever left my cat, Jack, and I honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Jack is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so I was very anxious about leaving him, but Nicholas was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with him from the start. Within just a few days, Jack completely warmed up to him, which honestly says everything. I received beautiful daily pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring seeing how comfortable, happy, and loved Jack was while I was away. Because of that, I was truly able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was in such great hands. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention Jack received. I would absolutely recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter.”
About: I've had animals ever since I can remember. Big, small, smaller, just about anything you can think of I've had. I take pride in making sure all animals around me are happy and cared for. I can care for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and any small animal from hamsters to bunnies. I'm currently searching for a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I love to be around animals, more than people. So, I've got time to take long walks and excellent care of all your animals. I always take my pups out on a leash. They are trained to go into their crates when we leave. All of my animals get plenty of exercise, lots of toys, and all my love. I can assure you I'll take extra special care of your animals, just like I do mine.
“What an absolutely amazing experience. My cat was care for, loved on, and I received so many wonderful pictures. I’m always nervous to leave her since she has separation anxiety but she was calm and happy when I got home like I was never gone! Will definitely be using them as my pet sitter from here on out!!”
“Makayley did a great job. We could not have asked for better service. I think our puppy would go home with Makayley if she would let him. She sent us pictures every day with briefings on how our puppy was doing. He missed us for the first couple of days, but then he seemed to accept Makayley as his temporary master. I think we missed him more than he missed us!. Great job!”
About: I have had a full house of pets since I was a small child, and am excited to be able to care for more since leaving my animals at home with my family for college. I am a college student who is also on a competitive ice skating team, but have plenty of free time for your dogs/cats! I have large spaces during the day and early evening :) While I don't have a home to house your pets in, I will follow all of your specific instructions in caring for your animals in your home
“Fred had a long-term stay with David and his family while we were in the middle of a cross-country move. He had a meow-velous time and was returned to us happy and with new toys. Dave's kids treated him like one of their own and Fred loved his time with them. We were so relieved to have a comfortable, caring home-away-from-home so gave us piece of mind so that we could concentrate on selling our house, packing it up, waiting for the new house, move in and unpack -- a two-month process that avoided a lot of trauma for our cat and worrying for us. So happy that Dave was such a good fit!”
About: I have taken care of my friends and neighbors pets countless times while they were away. I have also owned two dogs since I was twelve so I'm really great with pets! I am currently a stay at home wife so I have lots of flexibility! I will make sure your animals get the best care ever! Although, I am not able to care for pets in my own home I can take care of them in yours. I enjoy going to local parks and being outside so I would love to be outside with your pet.
“Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had cats growing up. My current cat was a bottle baby and she is a thriving queen! I am use to indoor, outdoor, and indoor/outdoor cats. I also worked at a pet store that had cats up for adoption and I cared for them as well. I also have experienced cats giving birth so if you have a pregnant cat I am not new to caring for them.

“Was lucky enough to find a family who treated Lily as well as they did. Teresa was always available and when my schedule changed she was accommodating with last minute changes. Lots of outdoor play and she would send me updates throughout her stay. If I am ever in the area again I will 100% look her up to watch Lily.”
“Tori and Zachary watched our dog for the day at their home. He fit in great with their own dogs. He loved running around a fenced in backyard, and came home nice and tired. We will gladly use them again.”
“My dog Chloe has stayed with David several times, and each time has been fantastic! Chloe loves David and gets excited when we pull into their driveway. She always comes home happy and tired. David sends the best pictures, and Chloe always looks like she is having a blast. I haven't actually used any other dog sitter on Rover because David is just that great.”
About: Experienced in all-size dogs and whelping care, I provide attentive tailored pet care with a genuine love for animals, ensuring safe and happy experience. From tiny puppies to large breeds, I adapt to each dog’s unique needs. Reliable and compassionate, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved , and secure. I stay at home with my parents, which means I have the entire summer free and plenty of time to do fun things with the pups. I make pets feel comfortable by keeping their routines the same—feeding, playing, and walking on schedule. I use a calm voice, gentle care, and give them attention and affection so they feel safe and happy in their own home and on walks.
About: I’m an experienced and attentive dog caregiver who truly loves spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a large, fully fenced yard that gives dogs plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. I’m very observant and hands-on, so pet parents can feel confident that their dogs will receive lots of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I work from home and have plenty of time and attention to give to your dog(s). I wake up early so we can get outside before it gets too hot. Happy for short or long stays! I have an acre fenced yard that is reinforced every few inches that is full of fun and smells and space to run. They will always be supervised, and indoors there is lots of cozy spots to lay and/or cuddle.
“David is awesome! He was so sweet with my pup, and followed instructions well. He made sure that she got plenty of play time, updated me with pics, and even gave me updates on her socialization with the other pups! David has a huge fenced in yard, so it was great that my pup was able to run around!”
“It was my pup’s first time with a sitter. He’s usually nervous around new people. But not here, he was peppy and playful coming home. The next time going he ran right in like a reunion with old pals. Very impressed.”
“Kenan was willing to take my dog with short notice and was very responsive to messages. He provided pictures and a video. He has a great set up that allows the dogs some shade outside, even on hot days. When I picked up my dog she was smiling and even went to say goodbye to Kenan. It's obvious that the dogs like him and are being well taken care of.”
“Shawn and Charles were absolutely wonderful! We needed a dog sitter for just a few hours while we were traveling so we could attend a baby shower, and they made the whole experience easy and stress-free. They were friendly and from the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving our dog in their care, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable with them too. They shared photo updates while we were away, which gave us extra peace of mind and let us see that Goose was happy and well cared for. It's clear they enjoy spending time with dogs and treat them like family. We wouldn't hesitate to book Shawn and Charles again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitters!”
“Scott is a great sitter for us, and Blue really enjoys visiting him. I requested a doggy daycare day, and he responded quickly to let me know he would be available. I love working with Scott on Rover; it is convenient and easy.”
About: For nearly 20 years, caring for animals has been one of my greatest joys. I have 19 years of pet care experience, including 15 years as a devoted cat owner, and currently care for a flock of chickens and an angora rabbit on our peaceful two-acre woodland property. I offer boarding and doggy daycare in a calm, home-based environment where dogs can enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time, new scents to explore, and lots of individual attention. Our chickens are securely fenced in their own area, and our rabbit is safely housed in the garage, allowing visiting pets to relax comfortably in their own space. I understand that every pet is unique. Whether your dog loves adventure and play or prefers a quiet place to nap, I’ll work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. For cat owners, I also offer home visits so your feline friends can stay happy and stress-free in the comfort of their own home. When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family—not just a booking. You’ll receive attentive care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands. Pet care is naturally woven into our daily life. As a homeschooling family, I have the flexibility to provide attentive care, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. We live on a peaceful two-acre woodland property and maintain a home where animals are loved, respected, and considered part of the family. Caring for animals is already part of our routine, from tending our flock of chickens to caring for our angora rabbit. My wife and I are proud to provide a welcoming, inclusive environment for all families, including LGBTQ+ families, and we strive to create a safe, respectful space for everyone. Our 8½-year-old daughter is a budding farmer and fellow animal lover who has grown up helping care for animals with kindness and respect. Together, we’ve created a home environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and engagement. Because I work from home and homeschool, I’m able to adapt to each pet’s needs and schedule, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and right at home during their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. We have a spacious, open home with no indoor pets, allowing visiting dogs to settle in comfortably and enjoy plenty of personal attention. Our property spans two peaceful wooded acres, providing a calm environment away from busy roads and heavy traffic. Our resident animals—a flock of chickens and an angora rabbit—are securely housed in separate fenced or enclosed areas and do not interact with visiting pets. We also maintain a fenced garden area, helping ensure clear boundaries throughout the property. While our yard is not fully fenced, all outdoor time is carefully supervised. Dogs will be leashed during walks and outdoor adventures, and I closely monitor all activity to ensure their safety. Guests can enjoy plenty of fresh air, woodland strolls, sniffing opportunities, exercise, and enrichment while remaining under attentive supervision. For in-home cat visits, I follow each family’s instructions carefully, maintain your cat’s routine, and ensure your home is left secure after every visit. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I believe safety starts with attentive supervision, clear communication, and treating every animal as if they were my own.
About: Hi! My name is Rhi, and I have several years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve always had a strong love for pets, and I’m very comfortable working with dogs, cats, and other small animals. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise, grooming, or just giving them extra love and attention As a stay-at-home pet caregiver, I have a flexible, open schedule dedicated fully to the animals in my care. I'm available mornings, afternoons, and evenings so your pet gets consistent attention, not just a quick check-in. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just some company on the couch, I treat every pet like they're my own. I grew up around all kinds of animals, so I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality. I take detailed notes on your pet's daily schedule and follow it closely; Consistency helps them feel safe and at home, even when you're away. I'm patient, attentive, and handle every animal with care. Your pet won't just be watched; they'll be genuinely looked after.
“Amanda has been a blessing. I am new to the area and have travel hour and work hours issues that she has graciously accommodated. My pup is also a Cushings and she follows his eating protocol. If you’re in need of a sitter immediately she is very reliable. Thank you Amanda!”
About: Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets short-term and for extended stays for years, and I’ve cared for multiple pets of my own over the years. I’m currently working full time remotely at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets either at my home or in the comfort of yours! I have a fenced in yard, cameras, and a cat that is friendly and welcoming. She’d love to keep your fur babies company while visiting! In your home, I’m happy to follow any and all rules set to make you and your baby comfortable.
About: My experience is rooted in the continuous, loving care of my family's three dogs, meaning I am intimately familiar with detailed daily routines and unique care requirements. I am comfortable and confident handling dogs from a petite 9 lbs up to a grand 110 lbs, ensuring every pet receives safe, personalized, and attentive care. As a full-time student who studies primarily from home, I offer truly exceptional availability and supervision. Unlike many sitters who work outside the home, I am almost always present to ensure your pet gets continuous companionship, scheduled walks, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Safety and trust are my highest priorities. When caring for your pet in my home, they gain access to a truly unique and stimulating environment: 11.5 acres of mostly forested property. They can safely explore and play in my large, securely fenced yard, and enjoy supervised adventures along the numerous private wooded trails, offering the perfect blend of natural enrichment and peace of mind.
About: I work from home full time. I have a 10 year old fun loving dog that would enjoy companionship. My living space has had a front yard, back yard & greenery. I have grown up with pets & now have an adopted dog of my own. He is a chihuahua/minpin mix. Very friendly & loves meeting other dogs. I believe in lots of communication & will provide updates while you're away. Also, I am good at delivering care specific to your dogs needs. I think it is important for your pet to experience care & consistency as if you were still home. Keeping your dog safe & happy while you're away is my goal! Let me know if you have any questions. I work from home and have a dog of my own. His needs such as feeding, playtime, and walks are integrated into my daily schedule. I care for all dogs as if they were my own. I am cognizant of the small ways dogs are cared for differently. I am very observant of their behaviors and what they communicate. I like to talk to dogs and use a lot of verbal commands. They are very attentive and I find this to be most effective.

“Banjo LOVES his afternoon walks with Ashley! She picks him up and takes him for a walk around the neighborhood. He gets his exercise and gets to check out the neighborhood.

I have a huge soft spot for making your pets the happiest they can be while they are with me!

They will always be my #1 priority and will be in the best hands.

About: Hi there! My name is Hayley and I have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything and ready to learn! Currently, I have two dogs (Jack Russells who are 2 and 8 yrs old) of my own that I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old. I have knowledge in feeding, medication management, daily exercise, enrichment activities such as tricks, routine care (bathing animals), hygiene maintenance, potty training, and as always, I strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! I specialize in cats and dogs BUT if you are need of services for another animal, please dont hesitate to reach out as I am willing to help, learn whatever I need to, and give some extra love to your pet! AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th. Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ Mon-Sun: 8am-2:30pm (schedule varies but I will try my best to work something out with you!!) Meet and Greets: Scheduled meetings BEFORE desired sitting dates; I come to your home to get to know you, your fur babies, and the required schedule/rules. (I leave this up to the client's preference but I usually recommend it!) (CAN provide services before/after hours when requested!!) *AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th.* Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I also have a large yard where my dogs love to run around and play with toys (when outside, they are always supervised) and a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks! I am always keeping my eyes on them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners during each visit. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.

About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have been a fur mom since I was about 12 years old and have experience with all kinds of pets, including reptiles, chickens, hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, & chinchillas. I also use to work at a pet store doing pet care which involved lots of handling, cleaning and keeping a healthy environment for the animals. I am currently self employed and I make my own schedule so I am flexible with my availability. Mondays and Thursday are more flexible but I have time on the other days of the week as well. I’m clients homes I would give your pets the attention and lovin’ that they need and make sure that they are always safe. I will keep clean after them and make sure that they are cared for as if they were my own.
About: My love of pet care began at age 14 when I got my 1st job working with a vet. I bicycled each morning at 6 am before school to clean cages. My love and determination has not waned over the years and I have continued, off and on, to work with vets and offer in home pet care to a diverse group of clients from birds to wolfhounds for the last 30+ years.. I am looking forward to meeting your fur family and discussing how I might provide the best care for your loved ones in your absence. As a fellow user of this service, I understand the desire for an experienced, trust worthy, capable, level headed care giver with a degree of common sense. My aim is to provide the same level of care that I would expect my family to receive as well. Your sense of confidence in my abilities to care for your family is my #1 priority. I bi-locate between Greensboro and Danville and am available in both locations and between. I look forward to speaking with you! At the moment, in home pet care is my first priority and upon approval, I can be available 7 days per week as well as on an extended basis, upon review and acceptance by both parties for in your home pet care and walking duties as well as drop-in visits. I have found most pets prefer to be in their own homes and around familiar sights and sounds to ease their transition from their primary caregiver to me. For this reason, I highly recommend in home pet care. I am willing to discuss pet care in my home on a case by case basis.
“So professional and helpful!! Highly recommend! David really went above and beyond, taking JuneBug on a nice long walk down along the river, and including lots of photos of her smiling face.”

About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Currently I have a pug, Pixie. I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, turtles and cats before. Currently I work part time and have lots of extra time for walks. I am very flexible with changes if you need to add more visitis. I offer visits to your home, 30 minute and 60 minute walks, and transportation services. I treat you fur baby as my own and give them lots of attention.
About: Hello! I began walking dogs while a grad student in NYC and recently realized I am missing a canine element in my life here in NC :) I have experience with all kinds of animals - cats, goats, chickens, birds, etc. - and will take care of your pet with love & kindness. I have a flexible job that often allows me to work from home! The farther in advance I know about an opportunity, the more likely I am to be able to commit! I always make sure to establish clear expectations before I begin caring for a pet! I make sure the needs of the home and the pet are met.
About: I have raised many different types of dogs for 15+ years. For the last 5 years, I have housed many different animals in need. I have trained puppies, as well as nervous, and abused dogs. I make sure my home is a very welcome environment for animals of all kinds. Like my husband likes to say, I want a petting zoo in life. I currently work part-time in a pawn shop and full time mom to an adorable little toddler. We love being able to be around and care for animals as much as we can. I go on holidays maybe once or twice a year so I’m always around willing to help train or even just be a companion to your furry friend while you’re away I have an open yard with plenty of space to run around. I also have crates within the house just in case they need to be crated too. I have 3 adult dogs that roam free and are very friendly, as well as 3 puppies, and a 2 cats inside my house as well too. But it’s very rare my cats will come out during the day if I’m housing a dog inside.

“Lucy had a great time w the family and came home tired. David was quick to respond w any questions or if I just needed to check in. I will certainly try to book them again in the future. Thanks for taking such good care of my girl.”
“So happy we found Marilyn and her family to board my miniature schnauzer for 6 days. They are all love for dogs and Tita felt that instantly since it is all she needs. I was so relaxed during my vacations since I would receive daily updates and pictures. It was also fun for Tita since she even received Puppy cups. Marilyn and the kids took care of our puppy as if she was their own. As I told her, they are all love for animals, definitely very special people with a big heart. Oh since they are going to miss her, we already booked for next month for our beach getaway :)”
“Amanda took such amazing care of our Winston. We never had to worry once because she was so incredibly proactively communicating and sending pictures. Over the moon pleased with Winston staying in Amanda’s care, will absolutely be a returning client!”
“I’m so glad I found Lauren! She is very easy to work with, has a fantastic set up (with a huge fenced-in yard), and understands and loves dogs. I’ve already recommended her to two friends.”
“Nova had a great time with Shawn and Charles! Their backyard was perfect for her to get out all of her energy with a chuck-it, and there were large windows to lazily gaze out while relaxing around. They went above and beyond for Nova’s water-dog tendencies by allowing her to splash in the bath after getting hot. She also came home with some homemade treats! 🥰”
“Kenan and Kayleigh were so amazing. This was the first ever time our pups stayed with someone other than family. They provided updates regularly and really worked to make sure our dogs were comfortable, despite one of them having major anxiety. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“She did a fantastic job looking after our puppy, Thor. She was very patient and treated him like a member of her own family. I’m grateful for all the photos and videos she sent me. 100% recommended.”
“Mary is fantastic! She took both my dogs for a week and they were cared for in a safe place with exercise, tons of snuggles, a beautiful fenced yard, and the company of her two friendly dogs. The easy communication with Mary and her easy going attitude makes you feel like you are leaving your dogs with a trusted friend you’ve known for years . This has been the most positive pet sitting experience I’ve ever had using Rover. Thank you Mary for looking after the doodles like your own.”
“We are so happy we picked Amanda to look after Grizzly for a week. Grizzly had plenty of play time with her other dogs. Amanda provided us updates while we were away. She definitely treated Grizzly as one of her own.”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
“10/10 recommend Emily. She is super responsive, kind, and my dog seemed to genuinely be having a great time in all of the photo updates and videos I received each day I was away.”
“Our pitbull, Molly, had a wonderful stay at Mario and Sharee’s country home. It was so beautiful that I wanted to stay too! There was so much room for Molly to run around and enjoy the outdoors daily. They were so attentive to Molly as she had some stomach issues initially and they stayed in touch daily. Molly adjusted nicely and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the care and love she received. This is our new rover home that I will always reach out to first. Thank you!!❤️🐶”
“Randy was amazing!! He and my dog were so great together! I received plenty of pics and updates about our pup while we were away! Amazing sitter and really cool human! Will definitely reach out to him the next time we travel.”
“So grateful for Giancarlo's excellent care! Our pup does not do well with boarding facilities, but Giancarlo kept him happy and health for over a week. We appreciate Giancarlo's flexibility and frequent updates. We look forward to booking with him again!”
