We looked long for a trustworthy sitter as we were going out of the country. Larissa was beyond the best. We are over an hour and a half to her, but totally worth it. She sent several pictures throughout the week and communicated often. We will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Larissa and your family for loving our boy like you did.

Danielle did an awesome job caring for my fur babies. They were right at home when i picked them up. She kept me posted daily, administered my oldest dog’s med, and allowed me to bring things from home to keep them comfy. We will definitely be returning again for her services.

Jordan was easy to work with in coordinating pick-up times and she did a great job taking care of Baxter. He's pretty much a one-on-one little guy and generally misses me a lot when I'm gone and is excessively happy and hyper for a bit upon my return. Baxter was happy when I returned, and much calmer and relaxed than usual. He obviously bonded with Jordan in a good way and it was noticeable that he missed her for a few days. I highly recommend Jordan.

Chasity was the BEST! Not only did she take great care of our best girl, she sent me frequent updates and pictures. This eliminated SO MUCH of my stress. We were already traveling with a baby(which can be a little nuts), and not having to stress about our pup took a huge chunk off my plate. I can’t thank Chasity enough for giving me some peace of mind. I absolutely hope to have our Bonnie girl back to see Chasity and her family for our next trip.

About: What sets me apart is my real experience caring for animals and understanding their different needs and personalities. I have an 11-year-old senior cat, so I’m especially patient and attentive with older pets who may need extra care, comfort, or a calmer environment. I’ve also cat sat many times before, which has helped me become reliable, responsible, and good at keeping cats happy while their owners are away.

I have worked at a kennel caring for 16 rooms worth of dogs at a time and have helped friends and family care for their animals while they were out of town. I have a very flexible schedule all week long as I am a stay at home mom. There is nothing set on my scheduled that usually cannot be worked around. I am very observant when it comes to animals emotions and temperament. I always make sure things are as safe as possible when in my care and will do what is best for them.

Jackie and the kitties had an instant rapport. Usually they are shy and skittish around new people; but they were comfortable with Jackie from the moment she arrived to meet them. Jackie took good care of my fur babies and made sure I knew how they were doing throughout my 5 days away. I will request Jackie again and feel comfortable that my kitties are well cared for.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every animal. I don’t believe in simply stopping by to feed and leave. I take the time to build trust, learn each pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, high energy breeds, and multi pet households. I’m also comfortable caring for farm animals such as chickens, goats, rabbits, and other small livestock. Whether your pet needs an active walk, medication, extra patience, or just plenty of love and attention, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, healthy pet and have complete confidence that they were treated like family every step of the way. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, not something I try to fit in between other commitments. I intentionally schedule my day to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure their routine stays as consistent as possible. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable, especially while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide a calm, dependable, and stress free experience for both pets and their families. Every pet has different needs, so I tailor my care to match their normal routine and your instructions. In your home, I work to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible by following their feeding routine, providing exercise, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and making sure everything is secure while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. They receive regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and lots of attention in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I provide updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay.

About: (Base Access) Hello! I’m a Veteran, Mom of 3 kiddos, married to a Veteran and in my thirties with experience birthing puppies and goats, walking/running with dogs. I’ve taken care of 3 elderly dogs and helped them be as comfortable as possible before dying at home. Groomed our family dogs for years. I’ve helped my dogs and others after surgery and have experience giving medication. We have a single story home with only three steps to the backyard and two to the front yard. My husband and children are wonderful at cuddling and playing with all the dogs we get to meet. We will provide the full spectrum of care needed to help your furbaby feel loved and safe while away from their own family. I’m home most of the day every day, we go on walks as a family in the morning & evening. I have a minivan available for transporting all sizes of animals. We homeschool and my husband helps whenever I need to take the kids to activities. There are very few times where we are all away from home, so we are able to give extra attention. I have a large fenced yard with chickens (in their own fenced area) and my cats are friendly and live outside the home. Our home is a single story and the only steps are three to the backyard and two to the front yard. Our garage is heated/cooled and a great space to keep large kenneled pets. Our neighborhood is quiet and has a great road for walking on.

About: Hi! I’m María, a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for both dogs and cats 🐾 My experience with animals started early, my very first “job” was walking dogs in my neighborhood, and since then I’ve always been the go-to person for pet care. I had a German Shepherd named Rocky, so I understand the responsibility, energy, and attention dogs need, especially larger or more active breeds. I’ve also cared for my cousin’s pets (a high-energy husky and a cat) making sure to follow their routines closely, keep them entertained, and give them plenty of attention. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, and even administering medication when needed. I’m very organized, attentive, and adaptable. Whether your pet is calm and independent or playful and energetic, I’ll adjust to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently available full-time for drop-ins and house sitting, and I take that responsibility seriously, your pet’s well-being always comes first 💛🐕🐈 Hablo español⭐️ I'm currently available full-time. So I have plenty of time to play your pups. I'm available for dog-walks, drop-in visits and house sitting when needed. I can offer boarding for short periods of time, I have space to accommodate a crate indoors if needed. I also have a fenced yard, as well as parks near me.

About: I have always been the one everyone goes to for animal care. Animals are driven to me. And when I come into somebody's home, the animals always sit with me or love up on me. I know how to take care of a variety of animals from dogs, cats, exotic animals, too farm animals. I have started watching pets on my own and have nothing but great reviews. I work for myself and I need a flexible schedule, as my son is autistic. He loves having animals around as well. I am a single mom and I love the fact that I can teach my son the appreciation for animals and what they bring into the home. When I am able to care for your pet in my home, they are able to socialize with my dog is well. He is very active. He is a lab pit mix. He is friendly and never had any issue with any other kind of animals. Your pet will also have more one on one care. When i do check ups at your home I'm only there for a short time and tend to get anxiety from being alone too long.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Ashley. I have been around dogs and cats and owned and taken care of them my whole life. I have also cared for horses, fish, geckos, turtles, and birds. I’m a huge animal lover and I have a dog who is my whole world. I will make sure your fur babies have the best care and love since I myself am a fur mom and serious about my dog and his safety and well being, as well as your pets. I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and that they get plenty of food, water, exercise, bathroom breaks and snuggles. I will keep you updated on how they are doing and send pictures if you would like, so you don't have to worry while being away. I know leaving your pets in a new environment can be a stressful time and I want to make sure you feel at ease while being away from them. I would love to meet and go over your pets needs and set up a plan of care that works best for you. Please feel free to message me with any questions and I look forward to hearing from you. :) I pet sit throughout the week and can on some weekends and holidays take care of your pet and their needs. I have a routine for feeding and bathroom breaks during the day. I may have other clients and could potentially have to leave occasionally to do walks or drop in visits during the day if staying at your home, or may be able to stay full time as well. I would inform you before if that is the case. I will make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I can leave tv on when away if they need. I will let them sleep with me if they are allowed on the bed and find that more comfortable.

This is my first Rover experience. I’m very happy and grateful that I choose Eileen as my sitter for my dog Leo. She provided a fun loving and caring home for my 4 legged son. Leo would go on walks and played with his new 4 legged friend Charlie. She would periodically send me text, photos and video of him. Eileen’s way of communication really help with my anxiety and worry about using this service for the first time. Eileen’s services was fantastic; above and beyond my expectations of a typical dog sitter. I had a family emergency and Eileen offered to care for Leo without having me rush back to pick him up. I would recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a quality sitter with your dog interest in mind. Leo is so happy, he is looking forward to board with Eileen and spend more time hanging out with Charlie.

About: What sets me apart is my real hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs in different home environments. I’ve pet sat for 3 different families and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I also have a cat and two dogs of my own, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I am currently on summer break from college, and animal care is my part-time job for the summer. I have open daily availability and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care for pets. In the client’s home, I will maintain the environment exactly as I found it. I will carefully follow all instructions provided and in unforeseen situations I can navigate them by using my experience caring for pets to handle any situation responsibly.

I work part time at a grocery store. I mainly work nights so I get off anywhere between 9 and 11pm. So when trying to schedule check ins I would recommend scheduling the first check in later in the morning so there is less time in between each check in. I have a fenced in yard it’s fairly large enough room to run and play if needed I feel confident in my abilities to safely get your dog in a crate

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving, and personalized care that pets and owners can trust. My background includes caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, puppies, senior pets, high-energy breeds, and pets with unique routines or special needs. Growing up around animals and spending years working closely with them has taught me how to read pet behavior, create a calm environment, and build trust quickly. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine connection I create with every animal. I treat each pet like family not just another appointment. I focus on safety, reliability, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, or overnight care, I go above and beyond to give owners peace of mind and pets the attention they deserve. I will be available all summer full time from June- August as I am a high school teacher during the year. If needed I can also continue working part time during the school year. I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where pets are treated like part of the family. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, structured routines, plenty of playtime, exercise, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, closely monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners always feel informed and comfortable while away. As a pet owner myself with a friendly golden retriever puppy, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and proper care. My puppy is well-socialized and helps create a fun, welcoming environment for visiting pets while still respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries. With over 10 years of hands-on pet experience, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone pet owners can truly count on for peace of mind.

About: Hey there, I'm Joyce and I've been taking care of my neighbors and friends animals for most of my life (25+ years). I am partial to dogs, but guess who can change a litter box too? Me! I also love cats and other critters. I also use Rover when I'm out of town, so I know what it's like. I hold high standards for myself and the care of your pet(s). Your pet will be treated like my own (I have 3), with respect and a lot of love! I'm looking for part-time work as I want to go back to school this fall. I love animals , the outdoors, and a good walk! (I have limited availability on the weekends, please inquire and we may be able to make it work!) Overnight stays: I will try to spend as much time at your house as you want me to, but I may have a few errands to run during the day and make sure my own dogs stretch their legs too. In your home, I'm a well-mannered guest. I don't have to stay in your home if you don't need me to. Your animals will be treated with respect.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every animal. I don’t believe in simply stopping by to feed and leave. I take the time to build trust, learn each pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, high energy breeds, and multi pet households. I’m also comfortable caring for farm animals such as chickens, goats, rabbits, and other small livestock. Whether your pet needs an active walk, medication, extra patience, or just plenty of love and attention, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, healthy pet and have complete confidence that they were treated like family every step of the way. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, not something I try to fit in between other commitments. I intentionally schedule my day to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure their routine stays as consistent as possible. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable, especially while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide a calm, dependable, and stress free experience for both pets and their families. Every pet has different needs, so I tailor my care to match their normal routine and your instructions. In your home, I work to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible by following their feeding routine, providing exercise, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and making sure everything is secure while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. They receive regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and lots of attention in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I provide updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay.

About: Growing up my family has always had pets, I am able to take care of multiple animals at a time. I have a flexible schedule, with 3 years of professional pet sitting experience as well as working as a kennel lead at a dog daycare/boarding facility & a Rescue Specialist. Besides taking care of my own animals on a daily basis, my schedule is fairly flexible. I do not take on more than 2 jobs at a time so that I can properly provide care. Able to work weekends and overnights upon request. Prices are negotiable! Along with letting dogs outside for potty breaks and play time, I also can pick up dog poop upon request. Typically if I care for your animals for more than a few days, I will ask you what day your trash is collected and put it outside. I can also collect mail from mailboxes so it doesn’t pile up, clean floors that have pet hair, wash food and water bowls and can wash bedding if I need to stay the night. When I leave my house my older dog is left to roam while my younger dog enjoys her cage. Animals fed and watered twice a day and dogs let out every 4-6 hours if I’m home, typically no more than an 8 hour work day if I am not. Kitty litter is scooped and then changed once a week.

Maria was so very kind and kept me updated with sending pictures of my fur baby while out of town. She accepted a very last minute stay and was super easy to communicate with!

Areli was quick to respond when I had some last minute circumstances come up. Sydney seemed to enjoy her pet rug and had a relaxing time with Areli.

This was our second time leaving our dog with Aanchal and we could not be happier with the service provided. A went out of her way to make sure our dog was eating properly and did a great job of communicating with us. Already plan on leaving our dog there again!

Abigail and her family have been amazing with my 2 girls! She is super communicative and made sure she knew everything about the girls before the start date. The girls always come home happy and tired, and Abigail always sends pictures of all the fun they have. Highly recommend!

Jordan was easy to work with in coordinating pick-up times and she did a great job taking care of Baxter. He's pretty much a one-on-one little guy and generally misses me a lot when I'm gone and is excessively happy and hyper for a bit upon my return. Baxter was happy when I returned, and much calmer and relaxed than usual. He obviously bonded with Jordan in a good way and it was noticeable that he missed her for a few days. I highly recommend Jordan.

Amanda was great. Our dog sitter plans fell through very last minute right before July fourth and Amanda saved the day and even drove an hour to pick our Daisy up!

Chasity was the BEST! Not only did she take great care of our best girl, she sent me frequent updates and pictures. This eliminated SO MUCH of my stress. We were already traveling with a baby(which can be a little nuts), and not having to stress about our pup took a huge chunk off my plate. I can’t thank Chasity enough for giving me some peace of mind. I absolutely hope to have our Bonnie girl back to see Chasity and her family for our next trip.

Samantha and Christopher were absolutely amazing with my two GSDs! They took such wonderful care of them, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Every picture they sent showed both of my dogs looking happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which meant the world to me. My dogs have separation anxiety, so leaving them is never easy, but Samantha and Christopher made the entire experience so much less stressful. It was clear they were patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about making my pups feel safe and comfortable. I'm incredibly grateful for the love and care they gave my dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of my babies! ❤️

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every animal. I don’t believe in simply stopping by to feed and leave. I take the time to build trust, learn each pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, high energy breeds, and multi pet households. I’m also comfortable caring for farm animals such as chickens, goats, rabbits, and other small livestock. Whether your pet needs an active walk, medication, extra patience, or just plenty of love and attention, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, healthy pet and have complete confidence that they were treated like family every step of the way. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, not something I try to fit in between other commitments. I intentionally schedule my day to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure their routine stays as consistent as possible. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable, especially while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide a calm, dependable, and stress free experience for both pets and their families. Every pet has different needs, so I tailor my care to match their normal routine and your instructions. In your home, I work to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible by following their feeding routine, providing exercise, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and making sure everything is secure while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. They receive regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and lots of attention in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I provide updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay.
