Larrisa did an amazing job with our two pups Bailey and Madeline. She did especially well with Madeline who is a senior and has mobility issues. She also had meds that she needed twice daily and soars on her feet from the way she lays. Larrisa changed and kept the bandages clean. She also trimmed both dogs nails. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.

I had an amazing turn out with Aanchal taking on Toby last minute for the entire weekend, welcoming him in full arms, she updated my everyday with pics & general information on Toby, due to this being his first experience with an stranger Toby loved her immediately. She adjusted to his behaviors catering to his needs & making sure he was so happy & comfortable💕 Toby was actually sad to leave her, which just means in such a short amount of time she connected with him knowing Toby & his past with strangers this really made me so proud & happy & I will continue to board with her. Thank you

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! ❤️

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.

About: I have multi-dog household experience. There has always been at least two dogs in my house growing up, they’re my favorite animals. I have a chocolate Labrador named Whiskey, and a Schnoodle named Max. My chihuahua sadly passed away. I love to meet and have other dogs in my house. I’m comfortable administering oral medication if needed. I’ll send daily photo updates. I’m a stay at home mom so there’s always time to care and play with our furry kids. I wake up between 6-8am and go to bed by 10pm. When I need to leave the house to run errands, I don’t take longer than 3 hours at a time, so I make sure my pets are taken outside for potty and water breaks. There is a fenced area in the back of our house, and a big open area. I can take them out on a leash if needed or crate them if they’re not house trained.

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!

Abigail was an amazing pet sitter for our cat while we were away for a few days! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a heart for animals. Every check-in included thoughtful updates and adorable photos that gave me such peace of mind. Our kitty was well-fed, comfortable, and clearly loved having Abigail around. I could tell she treated our cat like her own — which means the world to us! I will 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you, Abigail!!

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.

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: (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.

My dogs fell asleep as soon as I started the car. They slept on the 30 minute car ride, ate dinner when they got home and were couch potatoes the rest of the evening before bed time. I loved the pictures and summary at the end of their stay.

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: Hello, my name is Emily! I have 6 years of experience taking care of pets, and would love to help you with your fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am home and available 7 days a week unless my schedule states otherwise. We have a female dog, Luna, she is very sweet and good with cats as well as dogs. My family loves all animals and will make sure your pet(s) are not only taken care of but also loved on while you are away. I will only dog sit potty trained pets and I prefer not to use crates if possible. We do have a toddler, she understands boundaries with pets, but if your dog or cat is afraid of or aggressive towards small children we won’t be a good fit. Please feel free to message me with any questions! Thank you ♥️🐈🐕‍🦺 I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am home full time unless otherwise stated on my personal Rover schedule which can be found on my profile :) I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run around in, any holes have been blocked by center blocks to prevent anyone wanting to escape. We also have baby gates on hand to make safe spaces for your pet in my home!

About: I’ve had and taking care of many dogs over the years, I have extensive experience with elderly dogs and puppies alike. My own dog lived a very happy life and recently passed at 16. I am eager to have dogs to care for again. I currently work close to home and my partner is working from home. Ben would be free to walk the dog when needed throughout the day and let them out whenever they needed to go out. We are both home at night! Ben is home all day and we are both generally home all night! I work for the school system, so I will be out of work mid afternoon each day. We did Rover for many months without a fenced in yard or a house so we are excited to be able to give dogs a place to run around!

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 taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years now. I’ve dealt with a lot of breeds and don’t discriminate against any breed. I love all Dogs and cats the same! I also love caring for livestock animals especially chickens! I own one a cat, a couple chickens and two rabbits! I am free throughout the week. And am available for dog boarding. Your pet will be played with and watched over throughout the day and if there’s any special needs that they need I’ll make sure to make that happen! My pets have always been allowed on my furniture and throughout the whole house. If they’re a dog they aren’t allowed in the cat room but the cat room has a gate that only allows cats to come in and out of it. My backyard if fenced in and allows your dog to get all their energy out !

They are sweet with all animals and are taught to treat them with respect. We don’t allow rough play with animals. We love dogs and would love a house full so we are excited to host pups in our home! We will love on your animal and treat them as our own. It will be lots of playtime with our lab and kiddos. We have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for play. I work from home so your pup will have constant scratching, love, potty breaks, and play time. Our dog has never met a stranger dog and we will monitor them closely to be sure everyone is playing nice at all times. We will not accept aggressive dogs in our home. Can't wait for pup playtime with your furry one! I am a stay at home mom and artist so my life revolves around caring for humans and pets!

We would prefer a crate be provided to give a familiar happy space and breaks if needed.

About: My love for animals could never be replaced!! I’ve grown up around animals as big as horses and as small as little kittens. I have 4+ years of animal hospital experience and currently have been working in veterinary emergency for 2 years…Many people have been able to count on me to check in on their pet wether it be to feed them or even just play with them. I’ve only worked in animal hospitals my whole life so even if you just have questions about your pet I’ll most likely be able to give you some good advice. I love all animals and have also successfully trained all of my own and helped others train their pets as well! My rates were carefully thought through and decided upon how well I will love and care for your pet as if they were one of my own. (Mine are too spoiled for their own good) my babies love to run around in the back yard and play ball!! I would LOVE to meet your furry baby and give them the best care and send as many pictures as you wish so you have no need to worry. :) I’m currently working part-time at an emergency animal clinic which is only night time hours. Weekends if I work are different due to most other animal hospitals having limited hours or being closed which means my emergency clinic is open for those who need their pet cared for. I have a fenced in yard (tall private wooded fence) and 2 extremely friendly fluff ball friends of my own who are all vaccinated and healthy and they would love to meet some new friends other than at the doggy park! If your pup isn’t good with other dogs, that’s totally not a problem at all either!!

About: Experienced & Trustworthy. Walks, Feeding, Playtime & Lots of Love. Medication Administration (if needed). Your pet will be cared for like family while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I am able to plan visits around consistent morning, afternoon, and evening routines. I’m flexible and can accommodate feeding times, walks, and check-ins as needed. I’m also available for weekends and can adjust for special requests. This allows me to provide reliable, consistent care while meeting each pet’s routine. Follow instructions and keep the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest. Provide daily exercise, playtime, fresh water, and clean-up to maintain a healthy environment. Monitor the behavior and health, and give medication as directed if needed. Keep the home safe and clean, communicate updates to humans and provide attentive, loving care.

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 do have limited availability for weekends until April 2026, but if your pets are flexible - we can make it work! Just ask ❤️ 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! FRIDAY: I have limited availability in the afternoon. I will be available 6am to 3pm. And will be available again for a late night visit at 11pm (earlier if I am able). *SAT/SUNDAY* I AM available for an early morning visit (6:00am) and then anytime after 4:30pm-9:30 pm 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: I have taken care of all types of dogs for about 2 years. I have a dog of my own she is a handful but my whole world 🥹. I would love to be of help to anyone I can. 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

I am a certified Master Dog Trainer, I recently graduated from Highland Canine. I also graduated from AK9I as a K9 handler, I do this full time with my wife, Mara, who is also experienced. I have worked at two different board and train places here in the past and am very confident that what I am able to offer here is much better quality! Every dog that comes through our doors becomes part of our pack, we will treat your pets like they are family. When I am with a dog for boarding or training we are giving each other a lot of attention and energy and will stay engaged and active providing a loving and personalized experience for your furry friends. WE DO NOT just crate them 21 hours a day! Your pups safety and well being will always be our number one priority! We will always do slow and safe introductions, your dog will never be left unsupervised. We use top of the line cleaning and sanitation for our yard, carpets, toys, bowls, and surfaces, and things of all type. Our goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for your pet!

We also have a 1 year old Bernese Mountain puppy who is the absolute sweetest goof ball, she has been perfect to help other dogs get socialized who needs it or if your dog just needs a bestie she is your girl.

About: I have taken care of pets, my own and others, since I was very young. Family and friends rely on me regularly to care for their fur babies. Being retired allows me to be available most days. Taking care of pets keeps me active and gives the pets and their humans a feeling of security. At a client's home I walk dogs, feed them, give belly rubs and administer meds if necessary. For cats, the same minus the walks. I send photos and updates to clients.

I do have certifications in dog behavior. I work around 6 hours a day with my current facility and am always upfront and honest about my availability. I normally find out a week out what the following schedule for me will be like, if I make a commitment I always make sure to stick to it. I follow instructions set by owners depending on how strict you would like to be. I can normally get a dogs vibe and learn who I have to be slow and gentle with and which dog is super friendly and ready to play right away! I follow set times for feedings, vitamins, meds, etc.

Every single one of these furry friends deserve nothing less than the upmost respect we can give as their care takers. I am in the beauty industry, so my schedule varies week to week. I have overall control of my schedule which helps me to be flexible! I am very comfortable with any breed and size of pets! I can walk out on a leash, watch in a fenced in area, throw a ball for fetch, and even participate in a tug of war battle! I am very transparent as to what i’m comfortable with and what is in the best interest of your furry friends care!

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: 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: 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: 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: I have taken care of all sizes and various breeds of dogs and cats including from the puppy / Kitten phase until they have reached their senior years. I have had pets from dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs since I was 8 years old and taken care of friends / families pets since that age as well. Including walking, feeding, bathing, and giving routine medicines. I am currently preparing for my board exams and have a relaxed schedule with online work. I have plenty of time to check in and play with your critters throughout the day. I would also be willing to house sit during the week or weekend. I enjoy taking my breaks from work or studying by dropping in on or walking your critters. 😊 In my clients home I would love to keep your pets routines as close to normal as possible to reduce stress on your critters. Whether that is play time, cuddles, bath week, etc.. I would enjoy spending time with them and try to keep the same routine as close as possible to make them cozy. I want to love them like I love my own pets. In my home I have a fenced in back yard but also live in subdivision where I can do plenty of walking for them. I have a tall gate should they need to be separated from my 2 cats until acclimated.

Our puppy Kimber loves Madeline! She’s always excited to see her and she comes back tired and ready for a nap. We know Madeline truly cares for our pup and her safety.

Larrisa did an amazing job with our two pups Bailey and Madeline. She did especially well with Madeline who is a senior and has mobility issues. She also had meds that she needed twice daily and soars on her feet from the way she lays. Larrisa changed and kept the bandages clean. She also trimmed both dogs nails. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.

I had an amazing turn out with Aanchal taking on Toby last minute for the entire weekend, welcoming him in full arms, she updated my everyday with pics & general information on Toby, due to this being his first experience with an stranger Toby loved her immediately. She adjusted to his behaviors catering to his needs & making sure he was so happy & comfortable💕 Toby was actually sad to leave her, which just means in such a short amount of time she connected with him knowing Toby & his past with strangers this really made me so proud & happy & I will continue to board with her. Thank you

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! ❤️

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.

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!

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.

We had to leave our 6 month old puppy for a summer vacation, I was so nervous to leave him for over a week, but Samantha was wonderful, he is full of puppy energy and loved playing with her dogs, she provided frequent updates and photos and was so flexible, Apollo had a great time and we will defiantly use her again!
