“I truly cannot put into words how amazing Evie and Fritz are as dog sitters. My dog, Bean, absolutely adores them, which was very evident from all the photos they sent of her cuddling with them and playing with them and the other pups at their house. I’m so happy I found them and will be bringing Bean here any time I need a sitter. Thank you, Evie and Fritz!!”
“Marilyn is absolutely amazing! We had contacted her hoping she might be able to accommodate our dogs for a last minute trip, and she quickly set up the meet and greet and boarding! Our "puppies" tend to be pretty high energy, and they seemed to fit right in with the family. This was the first trip I've been on where I forgot to worry about the dogs and just enjoy our trip, which never happens. The communication, updates, and photos were consistent and frequent, and I felt like they were in amazing hands the entire time. Both Maci and Oakley came back so happy (and so tired). I cannot say enough about amazing Marilyn (and her family) are! Thank you so much for everything, Maci and Oakley will definitely be back to play!”
“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“Ruby had a great time at Vanessa’s! She was very well taken care of and had lots of new adventures. Vanessa made sure to send me regular updates with pictures, which I really appreciated.”
“Amber and her family are amazing! They welcomed Melo in as part of the fam for a whole week and he loved it. Their place is a great escape to roam around in nature and close to home. Also chickens… so plenty of entertainment and stimulation! lol”
“Our boys were well taken care of with Lauren. She was able to accommodate us on a holiday with relatively short notice, was communicative throughout their stay, very flexible with timing of drop off and pick up, and our dogs came back to us happy and tired from running around in Lauren’s spacious yard. Will certainly be using Lauren again for doggie care!”
“Cathy is the absolute best Rover we have ever used! She sent us frequent updates with pictures, went above and beyond to provide the best care, was extremely flexible with drop-off/pick-up & treated Olivia like she was her own! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“David is a gem! He made our two beagles feel right at home during our recent travel out of state. Additionally, he shared photos and updates of our doggies each day we were gone, and let us know how they were adjusting to his space. We will, most assuredly, book David again -- and you should too!”
“Krystene and her family were great! They took such great care of our dog while we were away. I got regular updates and photos. I would absolutely book with Krystene again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“My dog had a great time with Crystal! She was very responsive and accommodating to anything I needed and provided updates throughout the weekend. We highly recommend Crystal!”
“I give Emily and Will 1000/10 stars!! They really integrated circuit into their own family, which made my husband and I feel at ease for our trip. They sent photos daily, and didn’t mind us actually messaging them to see how our guy was doing. Always responded right away. Will takes their dog, Duncan, for a walk every morning and he made Circuit apart of their daily routine. If you are going away and need a dog sitter, choose Emily and Will. Your dog won’t be with a rover, they will be with a family who will treat your dog as such.”
“Jade was great again! We navigated having some overlap with another guest and spent time getting the dogs comfortable with each other. I appreciated her thoughtfulness to call it out and spending extra time to do so.”
“Miyu is excellent! I highly recommend. She's kind and consistently expressed care and attention to my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and we look forward to booking her in the future.”
“Cathryn was really good to Lucy! Her children loved her like their own. Great yard and very dog friendly. We learned Lucy is not good with resident cats so she won’t be back but we highly recommend for others!”
“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!”
“Tracy is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very communicative and sent us lots of pics of our pup while we were away. Our dog, Charlie, settled in nicely at her place and seemed to have a great while he was there. We feel very fortunate that Tracy was able to keep Charlie over the Thanksgiving holiday, as our regular sitter was already booked. Now we have another option moving forward, as we would definitely book with Tracy again!”

“Racheal is fabulous. She gives great daily feedback on her visits with our Kitty. We have peace of mind when we go on vacation that Miss Kitty always get lots of attention.”
“Kate is wonderful. I will be recommending her to anyone needing a sitter, and won't hesitate to book with her again if needed. Thanks for taking care of my sweet, troublesome girls! 🐈⬛”
“Anabella takes such great care of our kitties while we are away! She is so dependable and thoughtful with her communication. This is our second time booking with her and we will definitely book again!”
“Our regular sitter of over 10 years was unavailable so we met with Amanda and two other potential caregivers. While they all were quite competent, there was something special about Amanda…and we hired her to care for our 14 year old cat. Amanda had big shoes to fill in following our regular sitter, but she did an outstanding job! We would hire her again in a heartbeat. The only downside was the cumbersome communication through the Rover app.”
“Kimberly was super nice and did a good job taking care of our three cats, including one who takes meds. Was quick to respond to a last minute add-on when an emergency popped up on our trip and very easy going. Cats were well cared for and we came back to them healthy and happy. Good experience and we recommend working with Kimberly.”
“Deb is great and our cats seem to love her. This is our third time using her. She’s reliable, trustworthy, friendly and very responsive. We will definitely use her again next time we travel.”
“Courtney did a great job watching both of my cats. She was great at communicating and taking pictures of them while I was away. My cats seemed very happy when I returned. She followed instructions well and let me know of any issues that occured. Would recommend and would rebook.”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone for the weekend! I was so nervous to leave her since she gets insulin injections, but Jennifer did a great job with them and was always on time! Lola definitely enjoyed her company. Will rebook next time I have petsitting needs!”
“Danielle and Sebastian did a great job with my cat, he was very happy and calm when I got home which is a great sign! The house was so clean and they took care of the dishes and bedding which was so appreciated.”
“Betsy is great! Very reliable with good communication. She went above and beyond making sure the house temperature was comfortable when our A/C went out and retrieving our cat when he slipped out. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Katy has done a wonderful job looking after my two cats. She is quick to respond to my questions and sends me the best pictures of the cats. She is professional and reliable, and I can trust my pets are in good hands when I’m away.”
“Sarah stepped in on short notice to visit my cat. My cat doesn’t tolerate touching and Sarah was very understanding about that “rule”. I would recommend Sarah to others and I’d be lucky to have her care for my cat again!”

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.
“Jack loves to visit Amanda! Our six month old Australian Cattle Dog gets excited when he realizes we are near to Amanda’s place. He get to play with other dogs and returns home tired and happy. He will continue to have “play days at Amanda’s “ because he enjoys it so much.”
About: 24yrs experience with animal big & small, young or old. I have experience with rescue animals who required that little bit of extra care/patients/medication & rehabilitation. I currently work as a (bank)senior hca for the NHS and pick & choose my shifts so I can work round each individuals requirements and have plenty of time for fun play dates with your wonderful pets I can care for your pets in their own home to reduce any stress caused by change. I also live on a farm and have an enclosed field for play dates with my own friendly retriever Cassie.
About: Need somebody to take care of your pets? Need to go out of town for work or vacation? Look no further I'm the person for the job! I walk my son Munny daily about 3 or 4 times a day, and let him run around in the backyard. So pet care is apart of my everyday life. when we have other dogs come over i try to make them feel at home and follow any instructions the pet parents may give me
About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!
“Bubba had an amazing time with Adrien and David!! We were worried as first time, dog owners and with her being so young (10 weeks), but they made her first experience at doggy daycare seamless! Could not recommend them more highly!”
“Boston doesn't normally do well when I leave him...But Julie sent pictures and he looked so comfortable. He doesn't normally eat and he ate dinner...Julie thanks for creating a space where Boston felt at home!”
“Boba had a great time with Bruna and her dog! She was so communicative, and extremely prompt! We were so grateful for the picture and text updates throughout the dog sitting, and we highly recommend Bruna to anyone who is looking for a personalized care!”
“Tara has been incredible not only for Mr. Loki but for myself as well. He was excited to meet her even on our meet and greet before we started care and was immediately comfortable with her and her other dogs who are sweethearts as well. He’s been over there for a couple of weeks, but in that time, I’ve dropped him off and picked him up with the biggest smile on his face. She’s helped a lot with training as well since he’s my first dog I’ve had and he’s doing really well with that both at her home and at mine as I learn proper commands too. Communicates very thoroughly with me on how he was throughout the day, what he learned, and his overall behavior and she’s very attentive to care instructions. I couldn’t be happier with her care and honestly wish we found her earlier!”
“Taco loves to go to Laura’s house, every time we start to round the corner to her house, he starts to get excited and can’t wait to get there and play with Marley! He always comes home tuckered out and happy!”
“Karla and her family are amazing, and care so much for our little boy. Within a few hours of our first day care stay, I knew Karla’s place would be a great spot for Koda’s weekly daycare. He has so much fun with Karla’s dog Dexter - he’s always as happy as can be when I pick it up. I highly recommend Karla for anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter for their pup!”
“Shannon did an incredible job taking care of our pup, Theo, for multiple daycare stays. She kept me updated with how he was adjusting + the best pictures/videos, shared homemade treats, and took him on regular walks. I appreciated that she works from home and could quickly tell she’s a natural dog person who just gets it. Not to mention her home is a dog’s paradise with a large fenced in backyard, gated front porch away from a main road, and the sweetest easy-going dogs of her own that welcomed Theo with open paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Shannon & would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. I truly felt like she treated Theo as her own 🩵”
“Cynthia helped us enjoy a family concert for the first time in 3+ years, and our energetic Lab also got a doggy play date! We are thrilled to make her acquaintance and look forward to using her services again soon.”

“Cannot say enough great things about Lindsay and our overall Rover experience! Communication was so clear and concise that I could not have felt more at ease with her caring for our babies. Not only are we immediately booking her again, I’m also making sure I don’t leave anyone in my contacts that has pets out of sending a referral. Thank you, again, Lindsay!!!”
“Anabella has been great. She is attentive to the dogs and has patience with one of our pets that takes a long time to warm up to others. We’ve had a scheduled routine and she’s very reliable.”
About: I have cared for dogs of all different ages and breeds from senior Italian Greyhounds to Leonberger puppies. Safety and comfort are my top priorities for pups and I believe every dog needs his or her special time to just be a dog during the day. I have a lot of free time to dedicate to your pup! I am experienced with administering medicine to older dogs/dogs with anxiety. I also have the energy and patience for younger dogs, and am able to walk multiple dogs at a time, if it is needed. I’m available for walks and overnight stays. I have reliable transportation for doggy day adventures! I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to ask my any questions you may have. I currently have open availability and am looking forward to meeting new doggo friends for day care, overnight care, walks, and drop-ins. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! When I'm dog-sitting or walking, I am happily and fully committed to your pup. No dog is the same, just as no person is the same. Each family has its own culture and needs. I want your animal friend to be as comfortable as possible, so I will follow any routines or dreams you have for them.
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.

When I pets sit for you. I take care of your dog or cat like they are my own. I also leave your house in a better condition than I found it. While I currently have a full-time job, taking care of your fur babies is important to me and I am hoping to eventually grow this into a full-time business. All the time I am not working will be dedicated to staying, playing, and taking care of your dogs or cats. I appreciate you trusting me with staying in your home and taking care of your house while you are away I would show the utmost respect for your space. I also recognize that it is your pet's home and they have their own routines they like to stick to and I will respect that as much as possible.

You will get lots of pictures of your pet while I am watching them. I am gentle, patient, reliable, and trustworthy. I have experience with watching multiple pets at one time.
About: I have extensive experience providing care and support, whether for people or animals. I’m naturally compassionate and attentive to the needs of any living being, and caring for others has become second nature to me. Since I complete my college coursework online, I have a highly flexible schedule and am available most of the time outside of regular rest hours. I prioritize safety and responsibility, ensuring pets are never left unattended and always have their needs met. You can rely on me to provide consistent, dependable care.

About: I love animals, both big and small, furry and not. I currently have an 2 year old lab/Great Dane, a 7 year old corgi/chihuahua mix, 3 cats, a crested gecko, a bearded dragon, multiple aquariums - fish, and chickens! I have experience training my own young pups, and helping older dogs that are on medications and having difficulty getting around. I have pet sat for neighbors, family and friends for the last several years, and their animals are always just as important to me as my own.

I will play with them at your house, take them to a nearby park, and/or walk them around your neighborhood- whatever meets your needs. I also enjoy just sitting with an older animals and giving them some sweet snuggle time, if that is what is needed. If your animals like and want interactions with children, my two sons (10, 14) would be more than happy to come with me provide play and snuggle time with me (they will not be with me otherwise). There is nothing more fun and rewarding to me than knowing that your animals are happy and being taken care of and that I am a part of that.
