About: Experienced with energetic and strong willed dogs. Experienced with structured care, consistent routines, and happy dogs :) Will love your pup like it’s my own Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. My routine revolves around making sure my dog is walked, fed, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Feel free to message me about availability! I typically am available whenever you need!! I have a very friendly and energetic Husky in my home who loves staying active. We go on walks around the neighborhood about every 2 hours for potty breaks, as well as mental and physical stimulation. We also occasionally enjoy car rides to the dog park for extra fun and exercise. Since my yard is unfenced, I have a secure outdoor lead available. If your dog enjoys spending time outside like mine, I’d be happy to accommodate that upon request. For safety and comfort, I also have a crate available and can crate your dog or mine as needed.
“Although I had to cancel, I was so impressed by Michelle’s wonderful personality and love for dogs that I will most definitely call on her in the event that I will need a boarding facility for my beloved Binky in the future.”
“Brooke and her family are amazing! They provided a warm, loving home for me to leave my little Gizmo when I planned a last minute getaway for myself. Her teenage daughter immediately bonded with him and immediately started giving him love! They sent my photos of him while I was away. The day I was returning she was flexible with my return time. What else could you ask for?! I will definitely be using Brooke again!”
About: Hello! My name is Keri, I have had pets my whole life, including shelter rescues and fosters. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and a large selection of breeds. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my dogs are happy and most importantly, safe! As some pups (or pet parents) can become stressed or anxious with strangers, I will go the extra mile to ensure their comfort! Pet parents can be assured to receive lots of photos while their pup is in my care. I have worked in the medical field for 8 years, but my love for pets has started a journey to pet sitting. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! My schedule can be very flexible, and I am home most of the time, occasionally in the office nearby. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a new spacious home with lots of room for your babies. As I currently do not have a fenced in yard, your baby can play inside & outside, and go for walks! I treat your pups as if they were my own. Interacting with pets by giving them lots of love and attention. Pups are allowed on furniture and most all areas of our home. Each pup will be walked and fed on schedule. Special diets and oral medications can be administered if needed.
“This was the second time Scout stayed with Megan and she had a great time. Megan kept me updated with daily photos and let me know how Scout was doing. I’ve already booked our next stay with Megan and her family.”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Arleen and John took such great care of our Finley girl. You can tell she was well loved for the duration of her stay. We were certainly appreciative of the pictures and videos we received daily. They are such a sweet family, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”
“Kim S. Did such a fantastic job boarding our baby for 10 nights! I couldn’t be happier with her service! Our Mozzie was so well cared for and had so much fun with her other pups I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home 😉 Thank you Kim for loving our boy while we were gone. He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”
“I had no worries with Shanna, every interaction showed her care for my pet was her first concern. Great communication and pictures while I was away, I truly could not have asked for more.”
“Meagan and crew were great to work with. They took such good care of Macy. She was so comfortable that she just left us and walked straight into their house. They have a wonderful fenced in yard. I got updates and some pics. I would definitely use Meagan again.”
“Carrie was/is absolutely amazing! She loved on our sweet girl and gave her all the cuddles as if she were her own. She was very communicative and we were very appreciative of the photo and video updates we received daily. She is hands down the best. Thank you so much for being a home away from home for our Finley.”
“Debora was great! She too took my dog in as if it was her own and I was at ease leaving her in good hands. This was my first time boarding my dog but if I need to board my dog again I would want to use Debora. Thank you so much!”
“Jasmine has been a blessing to me and my fur baby. I feel like she was heaven sent. Reign just 2 months old and we have never been apart but Jasmine made my uncomfortable go into ease within a few hours of having my baby. She sent so many updates, pics and videos. Jasmine and her kids are amazing. Children are very well manner and respectful. Nobody else will ever be able to keep Raign but Jasmine. She is now family. If I could rate her a 10 ⭐ I would.”
“This is the first time I leave my dog with Casey. My dog was very happy to the point that he didn’t wanna leave. That means he was well taken care of. Thank you so much Casey. I will definitely use you next time for my dogsiter.”

“My Mom needed a cat sitter. Previously, she had some friends who would watch her cat for her, but this time they were unavailable. My wife and I had used Rover before, and I found her on this site. Kelly did a meet and greet and we had a really good conversation with her! We were confident in her abilities and commitment for my Mom's cat. She send photos (haha, some with some great commentary 😆) for each check-in. My Mom was able to get away with my wife and I, and have not have to worry about her cat being taken care of. We'll be sure to utilize Kelly again when my Mom is traveling. Thanks Kelly!”
“Kateryna was amazing. She gave updates and pictures daily. I can tell that my fur babies were well taken care of while I was gone. I will definitely book her again.”
About: I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding/daycare facility for over a year so I have seen firsthand how stressful those environments can be despite how social you think your dog might be with others. Dogs have always been one of my special interests since I was very little, I have plenty of experience taking care of senior dogs and puppies, and I am comfortable taking care of any breed/temperament. I have no problem if you spam me for pictures of your pup and I love sending constant updates and pics! I know how stressful it can be not to have your dog in your own care so no request is too small. I am a full-time college student studying environment and zoology, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I have full class schedule throughout the week and it changes per semester, don’t let that stop you from reaching out! I will take a look at any request and see if I can make them work. The more specific you are the better. If I have even the tiniest question I will not hesitate to reach out, I want your dog to be as close to there typical environment/schedule as possible so they are comfortable. Saftey is the big priority for me when caring for your pup, your dog will never be put in an unsafe situation by me. I am comfortable with emergency aid if necessary and I have transportation if your dog needs to be taken to a veterinarian.
“Emily was a breath of fresh air! Professional, polite, and took such great care of our cat Petey when we were out of town. She sent regular updates and we would not only use her again, but we highly recommend Emily to anyone needing expert care for their animals when away. Five Stars!!!! Thank you so much, Emily!! We really appreciate you and all that you do!! #truanimallover”
“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Addisyn stopped in to check on my cat while I was away for a few days. She is very responsive, took lots of pictures of my boy and always provided thorough updates. I felt at ease while I was away knowing my cat was well taken care of!”
“Chris did everything we asked. Although our cat, Kiku, was a ninja at disappearing, Chris kept her litter box clean and her food and water bowls full. He kept us informed and was always in touch. I would recommend his services.”
“She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend”

“Lyndsey is WONDERFUL with Molly. She’s very loving and kind and is very knowledgeable regarding proper care of our pets. Molly comes home very happy and tired. She always has a great time!!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Rachel was fantastic with me needing to book Cricket within days while being a new client and even being able to do a meet and greet the day I booked! Her flexibility was great. I gave her the run about cricket and her being dog reactive and Rachel ensured me that she would make sure Cricket would not interact with other dogs. When I picked her up Rachel was ready with her and gave me an entire summary of how cricket did and how she adjusted to a new environment. She even gave us a referral to a trainer to help with her reactivity! It was a success and we will be returning!”
“Linda was easy to communicate with and accommodating to our circumstances. Unfortunately, I actually had to cancel with Linda before she was ever able to watch our pup. But, I feel confident that I’ll book her services again the next time we are in town.”
“So grateful for Tara! She was very accommodating and patient with my many questions. Once you meet Tara and her family you can tell they are animal lovers. Autzen was well cared for the entire time. Tara's home is a perfect space for running and relaxing. We will definitely be returning!!”
“Debora was absolutely amazing! She sent photos and little updates to let me know that Bourbon was doing great throughout the day. Bourbon had such a great time he passed out when he got home. I would 100% recommend Debora and her beautiful home to anyone looking for a little help with their fur baby.”

“Kathy is so sweet & very attentive with my dog. She's also great at communication, which I've found to be a rare occurrence on Rover. She cares for other dogs while keeping mine, but I would never know if she hadn't told me! She sends pics throughout the day & promptly updates time cards. She's so compassionate & truly cares for my fur baby's wellbeing. I highly recommend Kathy!”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! I currently have two happy pups of my own who are part of my daily routine. We go on multiple walks each day and spend lots of time playing and relaxing together. I work from home as a pharmacist, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work from home, so pet care easily fits into my daily routine.

About: I have taken care of my household dogs for over 20 years now. I joined the military in 2016 as a dog trainer and instantly fell in love with the profession. When I separated from the military in 2022, I continued to board pets as well as train dogs for private companies as well as for my business. This is my full time job, so it is not about how your pet fits into my schedule because my schedule revolves around your pets! I live in a 3 level home where I have one level dedicated to boarding and training. So it’s plenty of space to run around inside, or outside on my 1.3 acre lot. I will provide continuous updates and transparent communication.

I have a fully fenced back yard and am willing to crate your pet if you prefer to ensure they have the least disruptive experience while away from home.

About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
“Courtney is amazing with my dogs! Honestly, she’s a dog whisperer. She can get into their minds and know exactly how to make them respond appropriately and behave. I’ve never seen anything like it! I highly recommend her!”
“Emily was such a great help! We needed someone to walk our dog while we were away for a wedding and our pup Lou was happy and healthy when we returned. This was our first time working with Emily, but she coordinated a meet and greet earlier in the week to meet us and get the details for taking care of Lou. We will definitely use Emily again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. Thursday afternoon's from four to six are my only recurring schedule block currently. I will update this when or if this ends up changing. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.
“Melanie is wonderful with the animals. She is kind, caring and very flexible in meeting their needs. My situation is a little complex at the moment and Melanie put us all at ease to help look after all the animals at a last minute request. Highly recommend!”

“Denee was fantastic with our lab. She was attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog at her home and would not hesitate to book again. Our dog came home happy and well cared for.”
“Thank you so much for watching over my dogs. Most people hear the name German Shepherd and are scared. You were very calm which helped him a lot. Will definitely recommend to book with you.”

About: Experienced with energetic and strong willed dogs. Experienced with structured care, consistent routines, and happy dogs :) Will love your pup like it’s my own Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. My routine revolves around making sure my dog is walked, fed, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Feel free to message me about availability! I typically am available whenever you need!! I have a very friendly and energetic Husky in my home who loves staying active. We go on walks around the neighborhood about every 2 hours for potty breaks, as well as mental and physical stimulation. We also occasionally enjoy car rides to the dog park for extra fun and exercise. Since my yard is unfenced, I have a secure outdoor lead available. If your dog enjoys spending time outside like mine, I’d be happy to accommodate that upon request. For safety and comfort, I also have a crate available and can crate your dog or mine as needed.
“Brooke and her family are amazing! They provided a warm, loving home for me to leave my little Gizmo when I planned a last minute getaway for myself. Her teenage daughter immediately bonded with him and immediately started giving him love! They sent my photos of him while I was away. The day I was returning she was flexible with my return time. What else could you ask for?! I will definitely be using Brooke again!”
About: Hello! My name is Keri, I have had pets my whole life, including shelter rescues and fosters. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and a large selection of breeds. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my dogs are happy and most importantly, safe! As some pups (or pet parents) can become stressed or anxious with strangers, I will go the extra mile to ensure their comfort! Pet parents can be assured to receive lots of photos while their pup is in my care. I have worked in the medical field for 8 years, but my love for pets has started a journey to pet sitting. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! My schedule can be very flexible, and I am home most of the time, occasionally in the office nearby. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a new spacious home with lots of room for your babies. As I currently do not have a fenced in yard, your baby can play inside & outside, and go for walks! I treat your pups as if they were my own. Interacting with pets by giving them lots of love and attention. Pups are allowed on furniture and most all areas of our home. Each pup will be walked and fed on schedule. Special diets and oral medications can be administered if needed.
“This was the second time Scout stayed with Megan and she had a great time. Megan kept me updated with daily photos and let me know how Scout was doing. I’ve already booked our next stay with Megan and her family.”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“I had no worries with Shanna, every interaction showed her care for my pet was her first concern. Great communication and pictures while I was away, I truly could not have asked for more.”
“Meagan and crew were great to work with. They took such good care of Macy. She was so comfortable that she just left us and walked straight into their house. They have a wonderful fenced in yard. I got updates and some pics. I would definitely use Meagan again.”
“Jasmine has been a blessing to me and my fur baby. I feel like she was heaven sent. Reign just 2 months old and we have never been apart but Jasmine made my uncomfortable go into ease within a few hours of having my baby. She sent so many updates, pics and videos. Jasmine and her kids are amazing. Children are very well manner and respectful. Nobody else will ever be able to keep Raign but Jasmine. She is now family. If I could rate her a 10 ⭐ I would.”
“This was my favorite experience ever booking with Rover. The communication was clear and easy, and my dogs came home happy and tired. The environment is clean, we received regular and predictable pictures, and I felt so comfortable with the whole process. I will definitely book with Erica again!”
“Mike was great, he was communicative and trustworthy. He sent updates every day he took care of our dog Grizzly. Grizzly had a great time and he even did some training work with him which was really appreciated. Would definitely recommend him for any type of dog care!”
“Jamie was awesome! She sent updates and photos daily and she made sure to give my energetic pup a lot of exercise. I could tell my boy was well taken care of and enjoyed his stay. I highly recommend Jamie and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”
