“Leo stayed with Bri over a long weekend and had an absolute blast! Bri was so communicative, flexible with pick up and drop off and most importantly, treated our boy like family. We will definitely be booking with Bri again!”

“Our dog Diggs loves being with Ashley and her family, he’s treated very nicely and loved. We refer to him being on vacation as well as he’s always so excited to visit with them!”
“Jane did an amazing job watching my dog, Alfie, over Labor Day weekend! She took such wonderful care of him and even helped me out with a few things I had forgotten to bring. Alfie got plenty of playtime, attention, and love—she played lots of ball with him, which is his favorite. It was clear that Jane truly cared for him, and Alfie absolutely loved his time with her. She was even a little sad to see him go!”
“We had a great experience! Very accommodating to our dog’s needs and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing our senior pup was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend and would happily book again. 🐾”
“Lutisa provided excellent care for our Shipoo, Juno. He was in her care for two weeks while our family was on vacation and I received prompt updates from her with pictures on his wellbeing. She had a good setup for Juno and when we had the meet n greet, I could tell that Juno was comfortable and felt safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Lutisa again. She is truly a pet lover and it shows when you meet her.”
“Morgan is amazing!! She did not bat an eyelash when I requested her pet sitting services on short notice for my GSD. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors and I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Duncan said he cannot wait to go see her again! 😂. Thank you so much, Morgan!!! 🥰”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Ellie and Karson were so good to my girl! Ellie kept me updated with pictures and took her on walks. My baby was taken very good care of! I would definitely let Ellie and Karson keep Charlie again in the future!!”
“Talia and A were wonderful with my dog, Kenzie. At a late notice, they were able to take her and they were so gentle with her. Kenzie had a great time, my family and I had no worries, and Kenzie adapted quickly to her sitters and their home. I will definitely used Talia and A again.”
“Samantha and Tim are a blessing to our family!! We love dropping off Axel to a place he is loved well! Axel loves his time with them and is happy to see them each time. They send us pictures of his adventures while we are away. Their kids love Axel and that's precious to us since our kids love him as well. Definitely recommend them to friends!”
“So grateful to you both for taking Harry in this past weekend and sharing your home! Harry clearly enjoyed his stay and is looking forward to returning soon!”
“Charley had a blast with Maribel and I can tell how much he was cared for by her. She sent photo updates every day and he looked so happy! He came home one tired boy. We will be reaching out again next time we need a sitter for him. Thank you so so much!”
“I can't thank Andrea enough for being so wonderful to my pups, Chet & Char. She text me pics, updates and responded when I reached out. I highly recommend her and so grateful to have found someone so fantastic with my fur babies!!!”
“Gina took great care of Henry and kept me updated with pictures and videos! Henry was so comfortable there and I could tell he was very loved! Will definitely book with Gina again!”
“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding. The many pictures and updates she sent were reassuring of the obvious quality of care she and her family were providing.”
“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.”
“Heather and her family are great! She took great care of my sweet Jojo and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. Heather is very trustworthy and a great communicator. I definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
“Ashley is an excellent communicator! She clearly understands how anxious dogs behave, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She was patient and attentive, always moving at my dog’s pace and never rushing her. Would book again! :)”

“This was our second booking with Katie and she was absolutely wonderful! Her expertise as a vet tech, communication, and willingness to go above and beyond came into play this stay, and showed just how dedicated to she is to caring for animals AND their owners! Katie is an asset and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you Katie for helping us take this trip and feel peace about sweet Casper’s care. You are a gem and we are so grateful for you!!”

About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and have always had a passion for pets. I have experience house-sitting, feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends. Growing up with pets has taught me that every animal is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm a graduate student completing my degree online while working about 30 hours a week in my internship. Outside of work and school, I spend most of my time with my family, my boyfriend, and at church on Wednesdays and Sundays. My schedule is generally flexible, and I do my best to accommodate pet owners' needs whenever possible. I often spend time accompanying the dogs with snuggles and a couple of hours of playtime a day. I provide food and water for the animals as instructed by the owner as each owner has a different approach. I often take dogs on one or two walks a day because exercise is extremely beneficial for pets.
“CJ was fabulous! She made friends with Gucci, who is a really shy guy. Fed, watered, played, and loved on him. She sent great pictures, and brought in the mail. Soooo thoughtful! I am scheduling her for our trip to England in November. Thank you, thank you, thank you, CJ! You made our trip, worry free!❤️”
“Heather is a great sitter that cares about every detail! We had no concerns or worries leaving our Oakley (cat) in Heather’s care! She kept us informed on every visit, including pictures! She also has a great personality and loves what she does! Highly recommend!!”
“Eleanor went above and beyond. On her second day visiting, she discovered that my water heater had gone out and my bedroom was flooded. She communicated promptly and stayed an extra hour to keep my cat safe while maintenance came. My cat enjoyed her company and playtime and I loved seeing the photos of him while I was away!”
“Summer is great! She was so flexible with me when booking and was great with Lilo. She even brought in a few packages that came. I will be using her in the future!”
“Chris did a great job of checking on our kitties on a set schedule and gave our one cat her pills every day! He even took the extra time to sweep after cleaning the litter boxes! I will be requesting him again!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our seven cats received from Erika! She visited twice a day from Wednesday through Saturday, handling feedings, litter boxes, and most importantly, spending an hour each visit keeping everyone company. Managing a large group of cats is no small feat, but she handled it beautifully and gave us total peace of mind while we were away for our son's wedding. She is reliable, communicative, and incredibly accommodating. We highly recommend her and will absolutely look to book her again!”
“Amanda is terrific! We had car trouble on our trip and needed to add an extra day of fur baby care at the last minute. Easy peasy, it's nice to know we can count on her even when our plans go off the rails.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring cat sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with cats and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I recently cared for two cats for three months, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and providing companionship. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, so I’m patient and happy to let them warm up at their own pace while keeping their routine consistent. I’ll treat your cats like they’re my own and make sure you have peace of mind with regular updates and photos during each visit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
“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!!”
“Loren took wonderful care of my Shih Tzu, Charlie. She did a great job of introducing her 2 big dogs to little 10lb Charlie. Loren communicated with messages and pictures throughout the day. Charlie was worn out and happy when I picked him up. I will definitely use Loren again when I need care for Charlie.”
About: I have adored all animals ever since I can remember. Being born and raised on a farm I have taken care of many types of animals. I have one loving dog, a golden-doodle named Sadie. I am familiar with taking care of dogs with special needs, special diets and those who need physical therapy. I also have experience with dogs who are partially paralyzed. One of my favorite activities includes taking my dogs on walks through local parks and towns. My experience with your pet is handled as if it was my own. I understand that each household will have their own request and I am more than willing to make your experience with me the best that I can. I work from home which gives me flexibility. I am available for morning, lunch time, and evening potty breaks during the week. On the weekends my schedule is flexible so more of my time will be spent directly with your pet! I do live on a farm where your fur baby can spend time getting their zoomies out :) We will be adding a fully fenced back yard soon; it’s on the honey do list! I consider pets to be a huge part in a family! I am more than happy to accommodate to your pet and your households needs and wishes, whatever that may be. Please let me know any expectations you may have in regards to daily feeding, diet choice, exercise, play time, exposure to other pets or humans, etc.
“Cody had a lovely time with Caitlin! And I was completely comfortable that he was being well taken care of, through great communication and photos. We’re so happy to have found Caitlin that we’ve already rebooked Cody to stay with her!”
“Sally Ann enjoyed daycare with Elizabeth and her doggies. We were sent many pictures throughout the day, and communication through text was great! We certainly hope Sally would be welcome to come again,”
About: I’ve been a vet tech for about 5 years. Before that, I managed a pet boarding facility. I grew up on a farm, so I’ve been caring for dogs and cats all my life. Im a toddler mom, and I currently work as an emergency vet tech so I’m great at keeping calm in stressful situations. I’m a stay-at-home mom during the week, and then I work on Saturdays, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule! I will have to bring my toddler with me to any visits on a weekday if it’s before 4 pm. When I’m caring for a pet, I always play with them and make sure they get quality interaction with me. I also check over their physical appearance to make sure they’re healthy and safe. As a vet tech, I’m very concerned with pets’ health and wellbeing.
“Morgan and her family were absolutely AMAZING to my sweet pup! You can really tell that she (along with her children) really just love to care for animals. I was very satisfied with everything, my pup had two days of “day care” when my work schedule was extremely busy & my pup was so excited to go back the next day and see her family. Thank you again Morgan!”
About: Hello! My name is Katrina, I am an elementary school counselor currently saving up to buy a home! I have my own dog, Milo, a 4-year old lab mix but I have always loved dogs and have experience volunteering at service dog training facilities, shelters, and I have fostered dogs, as well! I have done dog walking and petsitting for multiple years now and have experience working with all types of dogs, small or large, reactive or non-reactive, all energy levels, and I love them all :) I will update you as much as you want on your pet when I am with him or her, I know it can be stressful to be away from them but I promise they are in good hands if they are with me! I currently work full-time so I have limited availability on weekdays but I am usually available anytime on weekends! I am more than happy to work with your schedule as my job is pretty flexible. I have a large, fenced-in backyard and my own dog that loves to spend time outside. Please let me know whether your dog is more of an indoor/outdoor dog and how I can adjust the environment to fit his/her needs.
“Suzanne did a professional and wonderful job! I felt entirely comfortable leaving my lab, Harley with her. She did an exceptional job and I most definitely would have her care my my best friend again! She is a five star plus!!!”
“Jessica was incredible. We had a very last minute need and she was responsive, confident and we felt from the beginning that there wasn't a situation that she couldn't handle when it came to our dog. He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”
“Tulasi did wonderful with Paco we've never left her with anybody but family and she just loved her and was excited to go back the next day and I've already setting up to book three more overnight visits within the next few months so I would highly recommend her”
About: Hi! We’re Jana and Kendric, a reliable pet care team with a shared love for animals. Having two sitters means your pets receive extra attention, supervision, and care while you’re away. We both have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a calmer, more attentive routine. We’re comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter box care, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. We understand that every pet is different, so we take time to learn their habits, preferences, and personality. Whether your dog needs plenty of exercise or your cat prefers quiet companionship, we adapt our care to what makes them happiest. We also have experience following detailed care instructions and can administer oral medications if needed. Safety and communication are very important to us, so we always make sure your pets are supervised, secure, and well cared for at all times. While you’re away, we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Our goal is to make your pets feel loved and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. We treat every pet like they’re part of our own family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐶🐱 We (Jana and Kendric) work opposite schedules, which allows us to provide consistent care and supervision for your pets. Because of this, someone is home with your pet most of the time, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. We’re able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. Having two caregivers also means greater flexibility if your pet has specific needs or requires extra attention. Our goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and never left alone for long periods, while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. 🐾🐶🐱 When caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. For dogs, we provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, we make sure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding routines are maintained, and they receive playtime and affection while still respecting their space. We always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. We keep environments secure, monitor pets closely, and send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐾🐶🐱

About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. From a young child to current day, I've always had a pet in my life. I have cared for outdoor dogs, indoor dogs, fish, and snakes. I've also cared for and been around most ages of dogs from 8 week puppies to elderly companions. I love spending time outdoors with them, sunshine, snow, pools, treks, mud, or wherever. My two kids are in school so I'll have plenty of time for your pet. My kids are comfortable around pets so even after school, I'm still available for care. I'm also available to board any day or night of the week. I'm close to parks and Pilot Mountain trails. I have plenty of backyard space for you pet to run and even a ramp entrance for pets with mobile difficulties. I have a backyard space for healthy walking/running. I have plenty of toys to keep your pet active and cushions for relaxing. I have a crate available if needed. I also have a dog of my own to keep your pet company. My dog is allowed on all the furniture in the house and yours is welcome to join in for cuddles.
About: I have always had dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, ect. Also, I'm an EMT so I can handle any medical emergency that may arise as well! I just work part time, 3 nights per week, so my schedule is very open to love and care for your pets along with mine! I have a fenced yard as well as a fenced porch. My 2 fur babies are free roamers inside and are super friendly and loving!

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from house pets to farm animals. I currently do Rover full-time, but have worked at a dog boarding/training facility and have worked with/handled dogs of all sizes and breeds. Although I have more experience around dogs I love cats just as much! I have no issues with certain breeds, ages, sizes, or handling medicine (so long as it is nothing a professional vet should handle). I can’t wait to watch and care for your fur babies! I pet-sit full time, giving me plenty of free time to walk, watch, and love your pets! My schedule is also very flexible making it easier to schedule based off your needs! I do have my own dog but unfortunately she is not friendly with other animals. Because of this I can only do daycare/overnight at clients own homes and walks/check-ins. I have plenty of personal and professional experience with aggressive animals and have no issues watching/walking aggressive dogs so long as both me and you are comfortable with it. With that being said it is important to me that any aggressive behavior whether with animals and/or people is told upfront and honestly as well meeting the dog ahead of time.
About: I have met so many awesome fur babies working through Rover and I love each and every one of them. It's always so much fun getting to know a new pet friend especially dogs. I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken in numerous dogs from puppies to older dogs. We also rescued kittens and cared for them from birth to old age. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens and elderly pets with complex health issues. I just love animals and I've passed on that love for animals to my children. This isn't just a job for me it's my happy place. Your babies will be treated like family while they are in my care and I update you every step of the way. I've met pets with all different energy levels and personalities but I've never met one I didn't become instant bestfriends with. My work schedule is very flexible at the moment so I can work around that and spend plenty of time making sure your pets enjoy themselves while in my care. I would love to meet your babies. I have a large fenced in backyard for your dogs to run around in. I have a very friendly dog of my own that has been socialized since birth and loves meeting new friends. I have a large dog crate available if you want your pup crated just let me know..otherwise they are free to roam around as they please. Which I personally prefer. We allow pets on furniture and treat them like family so they will come back to you spoiled. They will get so much attention between me and my two teenagers. We are animal lovers through and through.
About: Pets have always been a part of my life. I was raised with multiple cats and dogs, and from an early age developed a strong love and knowledge of caring for animals. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and have applied for this position because I truly understand the struggle of having to leave and find someone trustworthy to care for them while I am away. From puppies and kittens, to senior pets, I will provide your pet with the same love and attention that I would wish for my own. I currently work full-time as an Instructional Specialist. I am free in the evenings and on weekends with the exception of holidays and Summer break. I am free Monday-Sunday during summer months and holiday breaks. We have a large yard for walking and a clean and quiet home for your pet to relax. I have no children except for my own two pups. I will take care of your pet as I would take care of my own.

About: I have over 12 years of experience working in emergency veterinary medicine, where I cared for pets of all kinds and learned how to recognize their individual needs, behaviors, and signs that something may be wrong. After stepping away from the veterinary field to stay home with my children, I found a passion for providing a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment for pets while their families are away. My veterinary background gives me the confidence and knowledge to care for pets with different personalities, ages, medical needs, and routines. I have experience with dogs, cats, and many other types of animals, and I understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and care tailored specifically to them. When pets stay with me, they become part of our family. I provide a clean, safe home, plenty of attention, playtime, and a large fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are loved and cared for while you’re away. * 🐾 ½ acre fenced play area * 🏡 Home environment (not a kennel) * 🐶 Small-group attention * 📸 Daily updates/photos * ❤️ Experienced pet care * 🐕 Social play (if appropriate) I currently only work as needed at the vet hospital and stay at home during the day so my schedule is very flexible most days. I have a 6ft vinyl fence in my back yard. I have 3 pups of my own that love anyone and everyone. Most pets that stay at my home are in kennels when we are away and or at night for safety but I do have a few that do better without a kennel and we accommodate that as well. I do have cameras set up so I can check in at any time if I’m away from home.
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, my own and others included, since as far back as 8 years old. I've always enjoyed taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages and it makes my heart happy to see my kids following in those footsteps as they get older as well. I have a husband of almost 11 years, which will occasionally be helping with some of the pet care, and we have 2 kids (ages 4 and 9) so you know your animals will get plenty of cuddles and play time. We all enjoy and love your pets like our own! Our pets of our own include chickens which are all kept inside of a fenced in area. We live on roughly 3 acres of "unfenced land" at the end of our paved neighborhood road. Included in that are a few scenic trails through the woods on our property, so that means we have plenty of space for your fur babies to have some play time outside in the yard, and walks through the neighborhood/trails for exploration, exercise, and relaxation throughout the day! We are here with open arms ready to care for your sweet babies and willing to learn about each of their individual needs to make sure we make them and you feel comfortable and part of our family in the process! From boarding overnight, to drop-in visits when you can't be there, to random play visits/walking your fur babies, or even meeting/helping you with multiple animals' vet visits..... No matter the job or type of animal, give us a try and you won't be disappointed! We can't wait to hear from you and to make you part of the fam! I am a part time teacher/part time stay-at-home mom/wife so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve for whatever the job you may need for them! Your pets are housed inside our home as one of the family. We have plenty of crates inside our house for individual sleeping spaces. We also use baby gates throughout the house to separate areas of our house so animals can be separated in their own spaces if and when needed. I always communicate quickly with clients and make sure to send lots of pictures to assure them of their pets experience and exceptional care with my family and I. I also provide each animal with an apple air tag just as a safety precaution when they are in my care for mine and my clients peace of mind.

“Lexie was so great with Brinkley. She spent a lot of time with her and gave her lots of attention. She was really accommodating with the specifics of walking her and even took her to Brinkleys favorite park! The cherry on top was that she brought a package inside for us, talk about going above and beyond. I would highly recommend using Lexie to care for you pups. Brinkley can’t wait to walk with Lexie again 🐶”

I’m an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your furry family member. Ive been caring for others pets for 5 years. I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and I love to meet new furry friends! Im available anytime on the weekdays normally, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to hang with your pup and take them on adventures! I care for all pet as if they were my own! All I need is a run down of their schedule, and your pooch and I will be best pals! Routines are important for those doggies so I always try to be as consistent as possible. I can either go to your place daily or stay at your home to help them do better. I have great references of other sitting jobs I’ve done over the years! I am flexible on the schedule and can work around your pups needs. I hope to hear from you and your furry friend soon!!
About: I have been a dog owner since before I could walk, and have always seen my dogs as members of my family. In addition to growing up with dogs, I have also raised several litters of AKC registered Golden Retrievers, so I truly know how to care for every aspect of a dog. I have the knowledge and experience to care for any breed - from large & high energy to small & anxious… I am confident caring for all. I am very educated in breed specific traits and understand that every breed comes with specific needs. I am also willing to accommodate most unique needs you may have; whether your dog needs to be fed away from any other dogs/people, needs daily medication or even if you need me to reinforce a strict training regimen while they are in my care. I am confident in my ability to meet any level of care required. So whether you’re looking for an easygoing home with kids to snuggle your family dog while they’re away from you, or a knowledgable caretaker who knows the importance of stability and regimens; we surely will be the perfect fit! I am a stay-at-home mom so I am able to be present 24/7 to ensure total and diligent care for any animal in my home. We have a large cozy house with plenty of space to run around and play! There’s a large fenced in backyard to run around in! Our dog has free range of the house, but we have the ability to keep dogs and children completely separate when needed (via baby gates) and are willing to enforce any home rules to ensure stability. I have 3 well behaved children who are adequately trained on appropriate ways to interact with animals. I also have an adorable mini goldendoodle named Arlo who just might be the most lazy & well mannered doodle out there! I was a school nurse before becoming a stay at home mom and my husband is a doctor, so we have a very medically trained and safe household!
“Wonderful walker and a friend to your pup. My senior puppy runs to the door with her tail going a million miles an hour when she sees Eleanor has arrived to take her for a walk . You will be happy to have her help you with your doggy.”

Alfie got plenty of playtime, attention, and love—she played lots of ball with him, which is his favorite. It was clear that Jane truly cared for him, and Alfie absolutely loved his time with her. She was even a little sad to see him go!”

She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors and I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Duncan said he cannot wait to go see her again! 😂. Thank you so much, Morgan!!! 🥰”

“Samantha and Tim are a blessing to our family!! We love dropping off Axel to a place he is loved well! Axel loves his time with them and is happy to see them each time.

I felt very reassured. The seller was getting the best treatment available. Thanks, Megan. Will be back for more.”
“Jared & Sharon looked after THREE fur-babies in their home and did an excellent job. All 3 dogs are different ages & sizes(S/M/XL), and they felt right at home. I got daily updates with photos and they were always available if I had questions. Pick up & drop off were a breeze & we could relax on our vacation knowing they were in good hands. 10/10 would book again.”
