She was amazing! definitely made me feel super comfortable about leaving my fur baby with her. She gave me a tour of where he would be staying and he was so excited. I only have him stay with my parents but didn’t want to drive 4 hours for that and she was just the best, can’t say enough great things. I would definitely book with her again!

Marcia is such an amazing dog sitter! She gives constant and continual updates during our sweet boy's stay with her. Both photos and videos! When youre away for a while, even in vacation, you think of your pets but whenever my mind would drift back home to Apollo I'd see Marcia sent me new photos of him playing with other dogs or lounging about with her. It was such a comfort. She truly loves what she does and she will be out go-to dog sitter from here on out!

Catrina took excellent care of my medically complex pup for an extended period of time. I couldn't be more grateful for the care, love, and attention she provided my dog while juggling her own family of pets! She kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me photos and videos regularly throughout her stay. Catrina was a godsend and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future! ❤️

I was worried cause Haushi is a nervous mess usually, but she was right at home with this family! I was away for almost 6 days and it was so reassuring because Lannette sent photos of Haushi every day, sometimes twice a day! Haushi was very well cared for and was much loved by Lannette, her husband, their little girls, and their two pups! Thank you so much Lannette and family for making Haushi a part of your home!!!

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.

Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!

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! ❤️

I couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Olivia and her husband provided for my dog. Olivia went seriously above and beyond for Kato during his stay (which was a last minute booking for Christmas too). Kato is a bigger, young bully, so he’s not always the easiest to handle. Olivia handled him with ease and treated him like her own family pet. I received pictures, they went on hikes and car rides, etc (above and beyond like I said) 💕💕 I’m so glad we found Olivia. I’ve had some bad experiences with pet sitters, but I had no anxiety or worries during this stay and that’s priceless. I would 100% recommend Olivia and her husband to everyone.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong connection with cats—I’ve been caring for them since I was five years old, giving me a deep understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and quirks. I personally have 4 cats with all different personalities. I’m comfortable with all types of feline care, from routine feeding and enrichment to administering medications with patience and confidence. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or special-needs, I provide calm, attentive, and loving support that helps them feel safe and understood while you’re away.

We have a one year old Great Dane that has a ton of energy, and Jacob made sure to take the time to play with her and tire her out. We have never seen her as tuckered out as the day after we got back! He communicated well throughout the process, and left our home like he was never there! Will definitely be using Jacob again!

When my AC broke in the middle of the night, I had to find last-minute daycare for my dog. I sent Clayton a message at 4 in the morning for a 730 drop off, and he replied and accepted my request within 5 mins. My dog is almost 13 and has been nervous around other dogs ever since he was attacked a few years ago. I was really hesitant about leaving him somewhere new, but Clayton’s reviews gave me confidence. And when we arrived, my dog walked in calmly and didn’t seem scared at all even with other dogs around. Clayton’s own dogs were so gentle and sweet, and mine quickly made a new best friend. Clayton stayed in touch throughout the day and sent lots of photos. My dog looked relaxed, happy, and like he was truly having fun. You can tell Clayton genuinely cares and treats your pets like his own. I won’t trust anyone else with my dog from now on.

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: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up with them since I was a little girl. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me because they're truly part of the family. During high school, I regularly dog sat for neighbors, friends, and family, and I still love helping care for their pets whenever they need someone they can trust. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to detail, and I'll always provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands!! I am currently a stay at home wife! I am in a hybrid program for school but I only go in person on Monday and Tuesday from 5:30-8:30 pm so I will have plenty of time to care and spend time with your dogs! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to keep them on their normal schedule for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I'll treat your home with the utmost respect and keep it clean and secure while I'm there. I'll make sure your pet always has fresh water, plenty of love and attention, and a safe environment. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'm attentive to details, follow any instructions you provide, and will always make your pet's well-being my number one priority.

Amanda was so welcoming and was able to take our two on last minute for a day while our house was being painted. I am sure our dogs were much happier having friends to play with. I was so impressed with Amanda, this process and my dogs. This was such an easy and great experience. Thank you Amanda!!!

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: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

My kiddos wanted to go to the waterpark before returning home from our beach vacation but my fur baby wouldn’t be allowed…. Lucky, I was able to find Jessica last minute thru Rover and everything worked out perfectly! I’d never used Rover before and was a bit nervous to entrust a stranger with my lil girl but I ended up being worried for nothing! Lola loved her play date with Jessica’s fur baby, Peanut, and having some time out of the hot sun! Thanks Jessica, you are amazing! I’ll definitely hit you up next time we visit Emerald Isle!

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!)

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.

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: I grew up with dogs as a kid. As an adult I’ve owned 2 dogs for a total of 4 years. The first I had for 3 years and had gotten him from a friend due to PCS. My current is a GSD that I got as an 8 week puppy who is currently over a year old that I trained myself. I currently work about 6-8 hours a day but have a short commute to work so if needed, I am able to check in on pets on a more frequent basis. I take my dog outdoors pretty frequently since he’s high energy whether it be on walks or for play in the yard. At least once a week, I take him somewhere public to work on his socialization and training with distractions. We train pretty frequently as well and have to say he does pretty well so if you’d like, I can assist in anything you’re trying to train. Disclaimer though, I’m not a professional trainer, only dogs I’ve trained are the ones I’ve owned. I live in a house with a pretty large fenced yard. I’m a big advocate for dogs getting activity, whether that’s physical like a walk or play outside or if it’s any kind of mental stimulation. My dog is crate trained and stays in his crate while I am not at home. I would prefer the same of your pet to ensure safety of your fur baby while I am away. Once I’m home, I allow my dog to free roam the house and will do the same for yours. My dog has been around several dogs and cats and is very friendly, social and playful, however, if needed, I have the ability to separate animals that don’t get along to ensure their safety. If there’s any questions on care I provide, please feel free to reach out! I’m pretty flexible and will do my best provide the care your pet is used to/needs.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifetime of genuine, hands-on experience. I’ve been caring for both cats and dogs since I was five years old, giving me an instinctive understanding of their needs, personalities, and comfort cues. Over the years, I’ve also gained experience administering medications safely and confidently, whether it’s pills, drops, or special routines. With me, your pets aren’t just looked after—they’re understood, cared for, and treated like family. I am retired military with 4 of my own cats. I am available Monday through Friday, after 6pm and Saturday-Sunday 8am to 4pm. Adding more animals to my daily routine brings joy to my day. I can care for you fur babies in your home by helping them keep to their normal daily routine. I can offer plenty of attention, love, pets, cuddles and whatever else to treat them like the family they are

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.

About: As a previous dog owner myself, I know that dogs love attention and playing, even sometimes just want to be held. Given that I had to give my dog away due to my profession, please allow me to take care of your dog, care for it, and love it on the days you have things going on. I'm available at night on weekdays and all day on the weekends if booked I’m advance. Also if any special requests like washing or brushing are needed, I can do those too! Anything like special food, specific acitivty time, or anything of the like apply to your pet, I'm willing to abide to give your pet the best experience yet and to give piece to your mind while you go out and have fun! I do currently work full time as a civilian on base. My schedule is normally 6am-3pm, depending on what’s needed for the pet I can try my best to adapt my schedule as need be! Currently I won’t be able to house any pets in my home, my complex doesn’t allow pet sitting for my apartment unit (dogs and cats) I’m 100% okay with being able to come by and see your pet, if you’re pet is in a enclose or cage I don’t mind looking after those as well as long as everything is provided to care for the animal (I’m thinking gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, lizards, etc.). Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine depending on what is required from the client regarding their animal. Feedings and pet engagement are my main priority so that if I cannot stay with the animal, the animal is getting social interaction when I drop by for feedings! I do not care for clients pets in my own home however caring for clients pets in their home is strictly followed from what is given guideline wise whether there’s a set of rules a routine an hour by our breakdown - it’s followed! And as always, there’s lots of pets and lots of cuddles involved.

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.

Marcia is such an amazing dog sitter! She gives constant and continual updates during our sweet boy's stay with her. Both photos and videos! When youre away for a while, even in vacation, you think of your pets but whenever my mind would drift back home to Apollo I'd see Marcia sent me new photos of him playing with other dogs or lounging about with her. It was such a comfort. She truly loves what she does and she will be out go-to dog sitter from here on out!

Catrina took excellent care of my medically complex pup for an extended period of time. I couldn't be more grateful for the care, love, and attention she provided my dog while juggling her own family of pets! She kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me photos and videos regularly throughout her stay. Catrina was a godsend and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future! ❤️

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.

Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!

Alex did a phenomenal job from drop off to pick up, he was super flexible and thorough. Our dog stayed with Alex over the weekend and we gave him a detailed list of our preferences. He went above and beyond by sending update photos of our dog multiple times during the day as well as sent us texts to keep us up to date. Just phenomenal! Thank you Alex.

Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!

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! ❤️

I couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Olivia and her husband provided for my dog. Olivia went seriously above and beyond for Kato during his stay (which was a last minute booking for Christmas too). Kato is a bigger, young bully, so he’s not always the easiest to handle. Olivia handled him with ease and treated him like her own family pet. I received pictures, they went on hikes and car rides, etc (above and beyond like I said) 💕💕 I’m so glad we found Olivia. I’ve had some bad experiences with pet sitters, but I had no anxiety or worries during this stay and that’s priceless. I would 100% recommend Olivia and her husband to everyone.
