“Ellie and Carson did an amazing job taking care of our sweet Uri! From the start, they were kind, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Uri with them. You can tell they truly love animals and treat them like family. They made sure Uri was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Uri up, he was excited and waiting at the door but yet he looked relaxed and content at the same time, which means everything to us as pet owners. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Uri was in such good hands. We are very grateful for the care and attention they gave him. We would absolutely trust Ellie and Carson to watch Uri again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and caring dog sitters!”
“We used Ashley three times for our Golden Retriever. There is a reason why we keep coming back to her -- she is a great sitter! We appreciate that our Golden is assimilated into her family and that her needs are well met. It is a great experience working with Ashley.”
“I reached out to Andrea for the first time to request a 5 day boarding for my spoiled pup - Koda. She was very responsive, and easy to work with, even in the short-notice I provided. I took a shot and booked the boarding with her, and dropped Koda off on Friday. Andrea took the time to sit and talk with us before leaving and allow Koda to get acclimated with the home before we left. As requested, I received updates and pictures throughout her stay. I could tell when I brought Koda home that she was well taken care of, and had plenty of play-time. She acted as if she hadn't been boarded at all, which was a first after having boarded with several others. I will absolutely be utilizing Andre's services as my "go-to" as long as she's willing to provide.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Vinny received! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We received updates and photos throughout the day, and it was clear that Vinny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He came home relaxed and content, which says a lot. Thank you for treating him like part of your family—we truly appreciate your kindness and attention. We would absolutely trust you with Vinny again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Sylvester had such a wonderful weekend. He was so tired from all his playtime that he slept from the time I picked him up till morning. Will definitely use them again .”
“Samantha and Tim are so great to work with! We are relieved that we have such a reliable place to send our dog. We know he’s in great hands. They love and take care of him like he’s their own!”
“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. 🐾”
“I was so happy and satisfied with Jenny’s service I knew our Harley was in good hands, she sent videos and was always very reassuring that our little guy was ok and will definitely be using her services from here on out… THANK YOU SO MUCH for making sure we knew all was ok and enjoyed our vacation”
“Maribel was amazing and made our first experience using Rover such a great one. She took the time to set up a meet and greet ahead of the stay so we could see how our dog, Dutch, would get along with her and her dog before booking, which we really appreciated. While we were away, she sent regular updates and photos, which made us feel so much more comfortable knowing Dutch was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and would absolutely book with Maribel again.”
“Alvaro, his mom, and brother kept Charlie for the second time, and we couldn’t be happier. They sent pictures of Charlie throughout the trip to keep us at ease. We will choose them to sit Charlie every time as long as they are available.”
“First time leaving my dog with anyone other than family so I was anxious to say the least. Thankfully, Ashley was agreeable to a meet and greet before my trip which helped put me at ease. During my trip, she text updates and pics of my girl regularly! This also put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away with friends!”
“It’s an awesome feeling to meet someone who you know will take great care of your dog while you are away. I can tell Dorothy Rose really enjoyed her stay. I’ve already booked Dorothy’s next stay with Nelcy.”
“Morgan truly cares about animals. She was communicative, thorough and honest. She sent pictures and updates the entirety of our vacation. I would recommend her services to anyone.”
“Allison was great with our pup! Her communication was great and she kept us well informed on how Z was doing while we were out of state. Our dog was in great hands and we knew she was well taken care of. Would definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“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!!”

“We had been looking for a good cat-sitter for a while, and then we found Nina! Our cats are tricky because of medication needs (injected and given by mouth). Nina is experienced and knowledgeable, friendly and a consistent communicator (she sent me pictures and updates daily!)! We arrived home to find each cat healthy and happy to see us! I will call on Nina again, and if you're looking for a great experience, you should to!”
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!
“Katie was amazing for our sweet kitty!! She completed a meet and greet with both our animals before and immediately made friends. She is thoughtful and knowledgeable about animals’ needs and feeding patterns, and went out of her way to bond with our cat while we were gone. She sent daily pictures, stayed the entire visit and even got our mail! Thank you Katie for helping our trip go more smoothly and keeping our hearts at ease while we were gone. Will absolutely request Katie again in the future!”
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.
“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.”

Walking your dog outside and sitters, I would always take care of your doggy.
“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!❤️”
“Reba used so much consideration and care when looking after my elderly cat. She was kind, gentle, and understanding of his temperament and needs and it made me feel so much better about leaving him for a week.”
“When I met Emma for the first time, we hit it off and I knew she would be a good person to take care of my babies. Emma was Heaven sent. She sent me videos and pictures of my kitties daily and informed me of a concern SHE had about one of them. That showed me that she payed attention to them and she cared. Emma did a great job and I guarantee you, she will take care of your baby(ies) as well. Thanks Emma and Rover.”

“I’m so happy to have met Kat! She came to meet Remmi, our 125lb English/Italian mastiff before watching her for the first time. I feel it is important for everyone to feel comfortable in a house and dog sitting situation-not only Remmi and I, but Kat as well! I immediately felt comfortable and confident with Kat taking care of our sweet pup and home while out of town. We used Kat again soon after the first time..a VERY last minute trip. Kat responded right away and agreed to help us out-she’s wonderful! I could go on and on-she is a perfect fit for our mastiff and mainecoon kitty!”
“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!!”
“Lexie was great! She was really accommodating for a late-night potty break and followed all the directions perfectly. I appreciated her reliability and care with my two fur babies. Communication was above & beyond. I would definitely book again!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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 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.
“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!”
“Super job. Cassie loved it there and I didn’t have to worry about my baby! They are an awesome family and great environment. Gave great care and attention to Cassie.”
About: Hello :) I understand that our pets are our family <3 I have experience with animal anxiety and extreme hyper-ness. I always enjoy a good walk, even in the cold so I can offer you a 30 or 60 minutes walk once or twice a day. I also have experience with basic animal grooming, including baths, brushing, and nail cutting. I can provide frequent photos/videos of your pet to keep you updated and content. Contacting Me: Send a message and I'll reply within that day. I stay at home during the week so whether it is a lazy day or active day my schedule can accommodate your pet no problem! I treat them as though they are my own. During drop in/walks i’ll make sure to respect their boundaries and the home of the owners.
“Rachelle and Christopher are so great with my girls. I can tell how much they love my dogs by how excited my dogs get when we arrive each week. Thank you for loving them like family!”
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.
“Caitlin was amazing with Winnie! Super responsive, regular updates with photos, really flexible and understanding with schedule changes, and I felt totally at peace knowing Winnie (my dog child) was in great hands. Can’t recommend enough!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. As someone who is very active, I enjoy giving high-energy dogs the exercise and attention they need, but I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, overnight sitting, feeding, medication if needed, lots of affection, and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every dog like they’re my own because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I’ll treat them like family while respecting your home as if it were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
“Karyssa and her family were communicative about pick-up, drop-off, and events during the daycare. Gumby had a great time hanging out with her family. We couldn’t recommend her more 🐶! 10/10 would do it again.”
“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 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!
“Paisley and her family were wonderful with Athena and very flexible with my work schedule. Super clean environment and I could see that Athena was very comfortable there. She was excited to go back the 2nd day, which is always reassuring. Will definitely hire again if the need arises!! Thank you!”

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.
“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 🐶”
About: I live on a 14-acre property with vinyl horse fencing that has been reinforced with fence wire to contain dogs securely. We have two fully fenced fields, each about 70 yards x 50 yards. One field has agility equipment. Boarders and day care dogs will be able to interact with the agility equipment, if time allows and dog is comfortable. The other field is used mainly for disc dog practice and competitions, but is also great for general play. We have a stream running along the back of our property. We have 2 dog runs outside for outdoor relaxation when we are not doing activities. I have dog training certifications with Karen Pryor Academy and Animal Behavior College. I prefer to interact with dogs using positive reinforcement, treats and praise. I have been involved with dog sport training since 2008. We currently have 7 small dogs, all actively involved in dog sports, including flyball, disc, agility, barn hunt and tricks. Our females are intact and 2 males are intact.
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 am a second year veterinary student who has worked as a small animal veterinary assistant for about 3 years. I have experience in caring for senior pets and younger puppies/kittens as well. I grew up with dogs and cats, and now have a three-legged cat of my own. I am very reliable, thorough, and will care for your pets as my own. I’m currently home for the summer after my first year of vet school, so I have plenty of time to help you care for your fur babies! My current part-time work/volunteer schedule will allow me to have a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets’ needs. I have one dog and four cats at home who all get along very well and their comfort is the top priority. I will ensure your pets safety and comfort needs are met based on your instructions given. I am able to crate your animals, leash walk only if needed, and keep a close eye on them when going outside. If your animals need to be kept separate at any point such as meal time, I will be able to accommodate for that as well.
About: I’ve been dog sitting on and off for a while now.

“We used Ashley three times for our Golden Retriever. There is a reason why we keep coming back to her -- she is a great sitter! We appreciate that our Golden is assimilated into her family and that her needs are well met. It is a great experience working with Ashley.”
“I reached out to Andrea for the first time to request a 5 day boarding for my spoiled pup - Koda. She was very responsive, and easy to work with, even in the short-notice I provided. I took a shot and booked the boarding with her, and dropped Koda off on Friday. Andrea took the time to sit and talk with us before leaving and allow Koda to get acclimated with the home before we left. As requested, I received updates and pictures throughout her stay. I could tell when I brought Koda home that she was well taken care of, and had plenty of play-time. She acted as if she hadn't been boarded at all, which was a first after having boarded with several others. I will absolutely be utilizing Andre's services as my "go-to" as long as she's willing to provide.”

“Maribel was amazing and made our first experience using Rover such a great one. She took the time to set up a meet and greet ahead of the stay so we could see how our dog, Dutch, would get along with her and her dog before booking, which we really appreciated. While we were away, she sent regular updates and photos, which made us feel so much more comfortable knowing Dutch was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and would absolutely book with Maribel again.”

“Holly was an amazing host. Our 10 month old doodle was well cared for and happy. Holly shared daily updates and was always available whenever I texted. I really appreciate Holly's whole family for taking such great care of Gus.”
“Leaving Gwen is always stressful, but they took excellent care of her and made the whole experience so much easier. They were attentive, loving, and incredibly kind from start to finish. They kept me updated with great communication and lots of pictures, took Gwen on a car ride to the park, even gave her a bath, and treated her like she was part of their own family. The best part was coming home to a happy, relaxed Gwen. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
