“Great environment for my Daisy and so safe and I know my Daisy was loved and taken good care of. I would definitely recommend Mitzi. Thank you soo much for taking great pictures and great care of my Daisy.”
“We had an amazing experience! Our dog, Rocco, was so well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Rocco was happy, comfortable, and treated like family. We truly appreciate the love, patience, and attention he received. We highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring. Thank you for taking such great care of Rocco! 🫶”
“I cannot recommend Marissa & Mosieo enough! Leaving my Yorkie for over five days while traveling out of the country was nerve wracking, but they made the entire experience worry-free. They provided regular updates and photos, which gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in excellent hands. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the whole time. I will absolutely be using them again for all my future travel. They are my go to sitters from now on!”
“Hannah and Patrick are truly amazing. Our girl is in love with them and their beautiful dog, Bailey. She had the best time. Hannah sent pictures throughout the stay which relieved some of the stress I had leaving my sweet girl. We will for sure use them again. Highly recommended!”
“Charlie had an amazing time and felt right at home at Luke’s house. His huge backyard offered the perfect space for him to run around and play in. It was also a plus Luke’s dog was there to play around and wrestle with. Luke is great and very tentative to whatever your dog’s needs are no matter how big or small. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Milika was the BEST! This was my dogs first time being away and he doesn’t get along with others well so I was terrified for him as well as Milika. I reached out beforehand to see if we could meet and she said yes and my dog was so comfortable with her and her home. We loved her personality and could tell that she was genuinely a good person. I arranged for him to be picked up from my home and she was on time. She was very communicative and shared many pictures and videos during his stay. She made me and my dog feel comfortable during his stay. He loved her! I will be booking with her again.”
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Sayaka was an amazing dog sitter! Duke was well cared for and even made a best friend during his stay. Sayaka sent regular updates and clearly loves animals. We came back to a happy, boy!! Highly recommend Sayaka —especially if your dog loves having a playmate!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Scott, Heather, & their family! They went above and beyond caring for my dog, Presley. From the start, they made me feel completely at ease — constantly sending texts and pictures so I knew Presley was happy and loved. Scott and his family treated her like their own and made my trip home so stress-free because I knew she was in the best hands. They were incredibly flexible, easy to communicate with, and truly cared about making sure Presley felt comfortable and loved throughout her entire stay. I would 100% book with Scott again anytime I need someone to watch Presley. He’s simply the best!”
“Hanna is the BEST!! This is our second time leaving our fur babies with her and she is so good with them...sends us daily pictures, takes them on daily walks, and even handled a stressful situation when we dropped them off with ease. She’s definitely our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Renee was an amazing sitter for my snuggly pup! She sent updates and made me feel so at ease knowing he was getting all the snuggles he wanted. I highly recommend Renee!”
“Luis is the best! He was so gracious to pick Egypt up from the hotel location and scheduled the pick up with my mom. Egypt saw him and willingly scampered off to his car. He gave her lots of love attention and walks! Luis sent pictures every morning with comments on her day. We look forward to having Egypt stay with him for future dates!”
“Carlotta was great! I appreciated the daily pictures and updates. She responded quickly and took great care of my fur baby. Will definitely rebook her again! And Snow was great as well!”
“Our Beau, dog, had a blast.. Jerry was great in communicating before and during the petsitting. We did not worry about anything. Highly recommend him and his expertise.”
“Matt was fantastic and I was 100% comfortable leaving our elderly dog with him. He sent pics and updates every day which I greatly appreciated. He was also flexible with our time and we felt no pressure in trying to rush back home. This was our dogs first time away from home and Matt made his stay safe and comfortable. Besides being a genuinely nice guy he and his family were excellent caregivers. Thank you Matt!”
“Michelle was phenomenal with Duke and Leo . She definitely communicate at top tier. The thing I love she also welcomed me into home to see we’re the set up was. Her son also is a big help I watched him take care of them as well . I can’t ask for a better person to take care of the pups this is a good experience an also made me feel super comfortable then ever.”
“This was my first Rover experience and I could not have been happier! Allison was great to work with and sent regular updates. Finn was well cared for and you could tell he felt at ease there...I don't think he was ready to come home!”

About: I tailor my services to their routine, personality, and comfort level. If you have a senior pet, rescue, or one who needs medications or extra patience, I have experience. I specialize in compassionate, attentive care for pets with unique needs.
About: I am a 22-year-old recent college graduate with a B.S. in Animal Science looking to make a little extra money! I have owned cats my entire life - right now I have two babies, Chewy and Oreo. They will tell you that I certainly know how to spoil my kitties!
“Knowing Serena is here to save the day, I feel confident my kitties are in good hands. She pays so much attention to detail, spends quality time with the fur babies, sends plenty of updates and pictures, and ensures even the most scardiest of cats is comfortable. Thank you Serena!”
“We arrived home this evening and all the cats were fine. The litter boxes definitely had been scooped and the house was in great shape. This has been the best Rover sitter experience we’ve had. Thank you so very much, Kelly!”
“Amanda is fantastic with our cats and very meticulous about communicating with us. She played with them and gave us regular reports as well! I would highly recommend her.”
“Lindsey took amazing care of our 3 fur babies while we were away for the week of July 4th. Her daily updates and pictures were priceless. We knew our babies were in the best of hands. ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up with 5-6 dogs always in the household. My mom is a licensed dog breeder, who also shows dogs and has for years as well as myself (2 years of dog showing experience myself, my mom over 20+) . We have shown dogs, groomed them, trained them behaviorally. I have dealt with ranges of dogs as far as puppies, chihuahuas to whippets, Aussies, German sherperds, Dobermans, and even Irish wolfhounds which is the breed my mom has always had since I can remember. We have also fostered dogs of mixed breeds, and trained dogs behaviorally or for dog shows, for clients. I have quite the experience in different kinds of dogs and the type of personalities they may have and am always up for a challenge. I’ve been apart of all that as well as growing up learning about every breed and being in dog shows myself. Animals have been my families life at home and for work whether tiny or huge! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger and have done everything in the book of what it takes to care for a dog as far as walking, giving them their food and water by the scheduled time, being aware and looking out for any outlying concerns through the dogs behavior, bonding with the dog to give a comfortable setting, bathing them, and simply just showing them love, as any animal deserves the same respect humans get! (: Rover is my only job, I am home 24/7 as someone who is in school online. I am available all days of the week and time as long as it doesn’t conflict with another pets stay (reaching maximum of the number of pets I can have for the dates!) or if I am by chance, busy or occupied with other plans which is- rarely but I will be transparent if that is the case. I care for pets in a clients home the way the clients want me to in regards to what their animal is used to. I go simply by the book unless told otherwise on the leniency of the schedule. I am here to take care of the dogs in the way that they need including receiving that bond and interaction they need! My goals are to make the client and the client’s animal satisfied and genuinely happy!
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family. Have experience with cats, puppies , small / medium and senior dogs. Have also boarded small dogs in my home. I am retired and available anytime for pet sitting, boarding or small/medium dog walking. I can also care for your cat, or other small animals I have a large fenced yard and a very friendly 9 month old puppy at home. I can also crate your dog if desired .
“Abbey did drop-in visits with my dear Sasha and everything was excellent! Abbey made notes, took photos and did all the items on my list! She truly is a caring and hard working person that I would highly recommend! I am actually booking Abbey again very soon and feel confident that she will do another great and awesome job for us and give loving care to my Sasha kitty! This gives me peace of mind while we are away.”
“Deven is absolutely amazing! She cared for my cats as if they were their own—attentive, loving, and incredibly reliable. I felt completely at ease knowing my babies were in such good hands. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which added to the quality of care. When I came home, my cats were happy, and my home was just as I left it. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would recommend Deven to anyone who wants peace of mind and truly outstanding care for their pets! I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kiarra did another great job checking in on my cats when I was out of town. I had acquired a third cat since her last visit who needed medication and Kiarra was able to accommodate his special feeding requirements. She provides daily updates and pictures of my cats. I can rest assured knowing she will take great care of my cats and be respectful of my home when I am away.”
About: I do not currently own any cats, the last time I did was when I was growing up. I have taken care of a neighbors cat who liked to hide, and one of my friends cats who was very active! I’ve fostered a pregnant cat and got to experience watching her give birth. I can clean up the litter box, add more, feed and play with your little one.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, up to three at a time. Over the years I’ve taken in many rescues and fostered dogs from time to time — big or small, young or old it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve also had cats throughout my life. Simply put, I’m an animal lover. Right now I have two dogs of my own, River and Bruiser (an 85lb beauceron and a 35lb true mutt, both rescues, who have traveled cross country with me. They hike, camp and swim but mostly love cuddles. I’m experienced giving medications when needed — oral meds, ear drops, you name it — and I’ve helped several dogs recover post-surgery. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, behaviors and sizes. I’m active and outgoing, so I love taking dogs for long walks. I work from home, so as long as there’s Wi-Fi, I’m happy to house-sit and hang out with your dogs or cats while I work. I’m also available for quick drop-in visits — walks, feeding, water, play, fetch, whatever’s needed. Flexible scheduling works fine for me. I work from home full time so I’m here with them all day. We typically go for three walks a day in addition to play time in the yard and most importantly lots of belly rubs and cuddles. I have a fenced yard where we play fetch, take the sun and play in the sprinklers. Dogs have free reign and are allowed on couches and beds.

“Beast can't wait to visit Ms. Judy and Autumn he is always excited and running to the door. Ms. Judy is so sweet and nurturing I feel comfortable at work knowing she is caring for him. I was very apprehensive with placing him in day care this is his first experience, she puts my mind at ease with all the photos and communication throughout the day.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life! Currently, I own two dogs and I treat them like children. I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. My family and friends would ask me to watch, feed, walk and play with their dog when out of town. I work from home so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available for weekend boarding, drop off anytime. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can play with your fur baby. I have a crate for your fur baby if needed.
“Jackie was amazing looking after my dog! She and her family treated my dog like he was part of the family! Jackie was very easy to work with, very professional, and it’s easy to tell she has a passion for animals! I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Hannah & Patrick were great with our pups. We did a meet & greet the week before so our dogs could meet on a nice walk. They have a nice sized yard for the dogs to play outside & took them on lots of walks! They only spent the day with them but they got lots of love, exercise & I got a lot of pics! Can’t wait for Lily& Ellie to visit again”
“Kayla is the best! Helped out with short notice and watched my two crazy Weims while I had some AC work done at the house. Peace of mind is a great thing and she definitely helped with that. Highly recommend her to all.”
About: I sometimes feel like a dog/cat whisper. I have a very calm nature and I think dogs/cats can really pick up on this. I have had animals of my own but could no longer afford the monetary funds it takes to care for dogs and cats. I am a retired active senior citizen and I have a lot of spare time I would love to devote to dog/cat boarding or walking. When I do care for dogs/cats in my home, I try to make sure they feel I care for them and snuggle and hold them, if I am allowed by the animal. I always wait to see if they have sniffed me and that lets me know they are or are not accepting of me.
About: I have years of experience taking care of other peoples’ dogs as well as my own, who is almost ten! I have a big fenced in yard with lots of shade that would be great for your pup! I work early mornings into the early afternoons (usually around 1-2). So after my work day, I’m home mostly relaxing or working in the yard and engage in lots of hobbies around the house. I will be around to tend to any needs your dog may have :) I live with my partner and our dog, Mulder, who is 9 years old. We have a fenced in yard with lots of shade that our dog loves and would love to share with your dog , too! We can also host indoors so the pups can cool off and relax.
“I couldn’t be any happier with how Kaya’s day went today in the care of Marissa and her two adorable puppies! She was extremely communicative and her home and fenced yard were perfect. 100% recommend her! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“We were visiting from out of town and needed some place for our active 1 yo pup to spend some time. Hannah was wonderful - she has a great set up for active dogs - I wish I could find someone where we live like her!!!”
“Julia took great care of Bowser and cleaned up after his puppy accidents (we are still working on going outside). We already have her booked for some upcoming drop-in visits!”
About: I work fully from home, which allows me to offer a highly attentive and flexible level of care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are ideal for daily walks. I currently have two dogs of my own: Neo, a Lab mix, and Luna, a Golden Retriever. Caring for them daily gives me strong hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable adjusting care based on each dog’s personality and needs. I also foster dogs, including dogs with medical needs and behavioral challenges. This has given me experience administering medication, managing behaviors, recognizing stress signals, and reinforcing basic training techniques when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs that require extra patience, structure, or individualized attention. Because I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention and responsibility I give my own. I intentionally provide quality, attentive care and only take bookings I can fully commit to, so each dog receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and as many potty breaks as needed. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and rest time into the day while making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Safety is very important to me. I have a fully fenced yard with a 6-foot fence, which provides a secure space for dogs to spend time outside safely. Because I work from home full time, dogs in my care receive full attention, close supervision, and are never left alone for long periods. I make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while following their routine and any specific instructions provided by their owner.
About: I don’t have any special skills but I treat every pet with care, patience, and attention. I’m reliable, I communicate, and I always follow instructions. I am full time student during the week so I don’t have a work schedule to get in the way of pet care. Not having a job means that my weekends are open and flexible. This means that I can give your pet my full attention during their stay with me. When I care for pets in my home I make sure that they are comfortable and I treat them as if they are my own. I follow their normal routine and special instructions given.
About: I love pets, and especially dogs! Puppy lover all the way. They are definitely the best friends a human could ever have. I can be flexible with my availability and I can be reached at any time. I'll be attentive to each dog and can assure you I may fall in love with your dog, therefore your dog will always be fed and happy while in my home. I love to play with all types of dogs, run and walk, I' be like an overprotective temporary big sister for them! I have a little furry sister know, a pom named Minnie Zoe, 7 years old and the little lady of the house. She is the one that gets the smiles every time we take her out and around. So your dogs will also have a little lady dog to play with and bark with. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine because I truly love animals and spend most of my time at home caring for my own furry babies. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and loving care throughout the day. I enjoy creating a warm and comforting environment where pets feel safe, happy, and treated like family. I care for every pet with genuine love, kindness, and attention, treating them as if they were my own family. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs, so they feel happy, comfortable, and safe. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a warm, clean, and caring environment filled with affection, patience, and companionship. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they can feel reassured and at peace while away from their beloved pets.
About: Hi there! My name is Kayla, and I’ve been a loving pet parent for over five years to my sweet Yorkipoo, Belle. She’s a 13-pound bundle of joy; she’s very shy, but also very sweet!

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for all animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or still learning. I’m attentive on walks, gentle during sitting, and always focused on safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m especially mindful with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication reminders, and I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I communicate clearly with owners, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and complete peace of mind for you. My open availability allows me to be hands-on and fully present, giving your pet(s) lots of attention and personalized care with patience love and consistency.

I'll be attentive to each dog and can assure you I may fall in love with your dog, therefore your dog will always be fed and happy while in my home. I love to play with all types of dogs, run and walk, I' be like an overprotective temporary big sister for them! I have a little furry sister know, a pom named Minnie Zoe, 7 years old and the little lady of the house. She is the one that gets the smiles every time we take her out and around. So your dogs will also have a little lady dog to play with and bark with. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine because I truly love animals and spend most of my time at home caring for my own furry babies. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and loving care throughout the day. I enjoy creating a warm and comforting environment where pets feel safe, happy, and treated like family. I care for every pet with genuine love, kindness, and attention, treating them as if they were my own family. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs, so they feel happy, comfortable, and safe. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a warm, clean, and caring environment filled with affection, patience, and companionship. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they can feel reassured and at peace while away from their beloved pets.

“Hannah and Patrick are truly amazing. Our girl is in love with them and their beautiful dog, Bailey. She had the best time. Hannah sent pictures throughout the stay which relieved some of the stress I had leaving my sweet girl. We will for sure use them again. Highly recommended!”
“Charlie had an amazing time and felt right at home at Luke’s house. His huge backyard offered the perfect space for him to run around and play in. It was also a plus Luke’s dog was there to play around and wrestle with. Luke is great and very tentative to whatever your dog’s needs are no matter how big or small. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Milika was the BEST! This was my dogs first time being away and he doesn’t get along with others well so I was terrified for him as well as Milika. I reached out beforehand to see if we could meet and she said yes and my dog was so comfortable with her and her home. We loved her personality and could tell that she was genuinely a good person. I arranged for him to be picked up from my home and she was on time. She was very communicative and shared many pictures and videos during his stay. She made me and my dog feel comfortable during his stay. He loved her! I will be booking with her again.”
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Sayaka was an amazing dog sitter! Duke was well cared for and even made a best friend during his stay. Sayaka sent regular updates and clearly loves animals. We came back to a happy, boy!! Highly recommend Sayaka —especially if your dog loves having a playmate!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Scott, Heather, & their family! They went above and beyond caring for my dog, Presley. From the start, they made me feel completely at ease — constantly sending texts and pictures so I knew Presley was happy and loved. Scott and his family treated her like their own and made my trip home so stress-free because I knew she was in the best hands. They were incredibly flexible, easy to communicate with, and truly cared about making sure Presley felt comfortable and loved throughout her entire stay. I would 100% book with Scott again anytime I need someone to watch Presley. He’s simply the best!”
“Hanna is the BEST!! This is our second time leaving our fur babies with her and she is so good with them...sends us daily pictures, takes them on daily walks, and even handled a stressful situation when we dropped them off with ease. She’s definitely our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Luis is the best! He was so gracious to pick Egypt up from the hotel location and scheduled the pick up with my mom. Egypt saw him and willingly scampered off to his car. He gave her lots of love attention and walks! Luis sent pictures every morning with comments on her day. We look forward to having Egypt stay with him for future dates!”
“Our Beau, dog, had a blast.. Jerry was great in communicating before and during the petsitting. We did not worry about anything. Highly recommend him and his expertise.”
“Matt was fantastic and I was 100% comfortable leaving our elderly dog with him. He sent pics and updates every day which I greatly appreciated. He was also flexible with our time and we felt no pressure in trying to rush back home. This was our dogs first time away from home and Matt made his stay safe and comfortable. Besides being a genuinely nice guy he and his family were excellent caregivers. Thank you Matt!”
“Gregorio was wonderful with our mixed German shepherd Evie. He took a great care of her making her comfortable and keeping her clean and safe. We had a great experience leaving her with him. He is a great sitter and we would used his service again if we need to. 10/10! Thank you Gregorio”
“Miss Elaine was a wonderful host! I had to leave my great Dane with her at the last minute and she was so accommodating and took him in and now, he's earned his spot to come back and visit whenever he needs a dog sitter. I would definitely recommend Miss Elaine because she's so easy to work with and she's also amazing with her updates to make sure you're always in the "Know"”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“Copper had a great stay with Hannah! We got daily texts and photos and he seemed very comfortable and relaxed in her home. As pet owners we want to know that our babies are well taken care of and Copper seemed very happy and content, which gave me peace of mind when I had to go out of town at the last minute. Thank you so much Hannah!”
