Highly-rated overnight sitters - Horace
“Alex was great with our dog Kona. She sent many pictures during the stay and was very accommodating. Kona had a great time! I would highly recommend Alex to watch your pup.”
“Our dog, Leo, did great in their care. He had some good friends to play with and lots of walks. I appreciated their level of communication. We will definitely take Leo there again.”
“Lyudmila is amazing! She welcomed our teddy boy last minute and treated him like family. We loved the updates and pics—turns out our chunky guy is a big fan of hot dogs! It’s such a relief knowing he’s so well cared for. He’ll definitely be back next time we travel!”
“Allison was beyond amazing! I could feel her kindness from the start. She was so good with our dog. This was our first time leaving him since he was very young and he had so much fun! She has a deep understanding of dogs and is in tune with their needs. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay which was reassuring. Would recommend over and over.”
“Jennifer and her family were amazing! She sent great pics and updates the whole time. Her girls were so excited and happy to have her. Lots of activity and snuggles! We will choose Jennifer again for great care.”
“Katrina did an excellent job of caring for Knox. He appeared to feel very comfortable and found a friend among the pups that were there. He had good social interaction and was a tired pup when we got home.”
“Pamela was the best sitter I’ve had on Rover! She was so accommodating to my pickup/drop off times, extending my stay, and Duncan’s care. She even noticed and educated me on a rash he was developing and kept an eye on it. She made me feel so at ease while I was out of town. I was truly able to relax on my vacation knowing Duncan was under great care.”
“My pups had a great time with Eric and Gretchen! They came home relaxed and happy. We received sweet photos of the pups and frequent texts. They did a great job taking care of their meds -- very calm and caring.”
“Yuki is, hands down, the best pet sitter I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Ena had SUCH a wonderful time and I hope to have the opportunity to work with Yuki again.”
“Elizabeth is great. Her genuine kindness is so obvious I had no doubt my pupper was in good hands. Although I was missing my boy, it was comforting to know he was being well cared for.”
“Sabrina and her family were wonderful to work with. I felt immediately at ease meeting with them and Ted had a great time staying at their house. They sent plenty of pictures of his adventures and we've already booked another stay with them. Would give more stars if I could, definitely recommend trusting your pet with this family!”
“Ana was so caring for our dog, Nala. She gave great updates (including video and pics!). It was so comforting knowing she was being well-loved on and cared for while we were away! We will definitely ask Ana to watch her again sometime! ☺️”
“Taylor's care was simply fantastic. Her own dogs are so gentle and welcoming; you can see that Taylor and her husband are dog lovers. My dog craves exercise, so I was a little hesitant about how she would adjust to staying in an apartment, but I should never have worried! Taylor made sure she had lots of safe, outside, running time at the park! She sent us pictures and updates, and although Sydney was glad to see me, she was also stress-free and obviously well cared for. I recommend Taylor 100%.”
“Renae was absolutely amazing with my pup! She kept me updated the whole time, sent me check-ins, and made everything so easy from start to finish. Harlynn came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciate how attentive and reliable she was throughout the entire process. I will definitely be booking with Renae again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to take care of their fur baby!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I truly love them with my whole heart and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy or a senior dog who needs some extra care, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m all about cuddles, consistency, and making sure your pet feels totally at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and playtime. I’m already used to building my day around my own cat, so adding in extra care is something I truly enjoy. Having animals around makes my day better, and I love being that dependable person pets can feel safe with. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so everything feels familiar. At my place, while I don’t have a yard, I live right next to a dog park, which means plenty of playtime and fresh air! Pets in my care get a cozy, calm space, lots of love, and attention tailored to their needs.
“My pup had a great time! Ty was great. He kept me updated on how it was going and was very easy to work with. We will be using him again and I highly recommend his services. Wonderful experience.”
“She was very pleasant to work with and always provided pictures! She was great to work with, and I know my dog loved spending time over there! Would 100% book again when leaving town!”
“Katelyn and Hayden took such good care of our pups! Kona and Maple didn’t wanna leave and had the best time playing with their dog, Mae! We got videos and pictures throughout their stay so we knew they were well taken care of and had a blast! We will definitely be using them again in the future!”

“This was my second time booking Briea, and she was fantastic to work with again! I rarely leave my cat for more than a day or two, but I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. I could tell from the photos she provided that he was happy to have her around! Very reliable, easy to communicate with, and left me detailed notes at the end of each visit.”
“Amanda was great with our cats! She is so communicative and easy to work with! We were so thankful to have her! It made a huge difference having that peace of mind while on vacation! We could not recommend her more!”

As an adult I’ve worked at a few different doggie daycares that also offered boarding for cats and was in charge of caring for them.

I usually go there once a day for 1-3 hours to spend time with her kitty and make sure there’s food, water & clean litter!

My experience includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring cats feel comfortable in their home environment while their owners are away. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I will provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of attention to help them feel safe and happy.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Horace
“This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience.! Yuki was wonderful all around...communication, responsiveness, and excellent care of our pup! Thank you!”
“My partner and I were driving across the country with our 50lb Samoyed, Jack, to relocate to our new home. On our trip, we decided to stop through Fargo where my family is from and take in NDSU football game — Go Bisons! We needed someone to watch Jack for the few hours we were at the game, and Taylor readily accepted our last minute (day before) request. Jack is a calm, friendly dog who seems to have been experiencing some anxiety on the long drive and is not consistently eating or pooping. We were a little nervous leaving him with new people in a new place when he was already on edge. However, Taylor and her family seemed to put him at ease immediately. Taylor kept us updated with pictures and milestones, and when we picked him up he had eaten all of his food, pooped, and played a bunch outside. He seemed happy, calm, and well cared for. If you have any dog sitting needs, we definitely recommend Taylor!”
“Bailey has always been so nice and very accommodating. Our dogs also get along great! She sends updates and pictures every time our dog is with her. She has walked him, boarded him and also done daycare for us. I would 100% recommend her for your doggy needs!”
“I really appreciate the cure Lyudmila give to my dog Dior every day. She will send me pictures of my dog and she looks so good. She will communicate with me too. And her communication skills was excellent. I would love to take my door back to her any day.”
“Nicole is lovely! She took on our separation anxiety boy, Oslo, and did so well with him. We were sent several updates and pictures throughout the day so we could see that Oslo was comfortable, happy, and care for!”
“We have left our pup, Clutch, with Pamela many times and he absolutely loves it. She keeps me updated with pictures and I can tell he’s so happy. I also appreciate her flexibility taking Clutch on last minute, when possible. We’re so happy we found Pamela and I recommend her 100%.”
About: I have been caring for dogs for most of my life, starting when I was 6 years old, when I was gifted my first puppy for Christmas. I trained my bishon shitzu to jump through hoops at age 11, not professionally, but I was still pretty impressed. I also helped my parents potty train him. When he got older, I cared for him while he had Cushing’s syndrome until the day he went over the rainbow bridge. Just 2 shorts years ago, I got my second dog, Oakley. He has been my entire world and I trained him on my own, as well as brought him to training classes and learned to do some of those things myself. I absolutely adore dogs and I have since day 1. I love all shapes and sizes and I will always care for them as if they are my own. I look forward to meeting your fur babies that you love just like I do. 😊 I’m currently in PA school fully online and would love to have additional company! I have a Goldendoodle around who loves to play with friends! I live in a condo and have a doodle who I take on walks at least once a day, and I’m sure he’d love to have a buddy or two along. He gets along very well with all dogs and always loves to be around them.
About: As a lifelong dog and cat lover, I understand how much pets mean to their families. After raising a Min Pin for 16 years and a Bull Terrier for 11, I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. I’ve also cared for many pets through sitting and walking services while living in Germany, always providing loving, attentive care. Treating every pet like family! I work as a paraprofessional and am currently off for the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. During the school year, I maintain a consistent routine and can still provide reliable care. In your home, I can make multiple visits throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship and attention. At my home, while I don't have a fenced yard, I do have a large open yard with a field behind our home and several nearby walking paths. Pets in my care receive plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and supervision to keep them safe, happy and comfortable.
About: I have a lot of dog experience plus dogs myself. I’ve taken classes trained and also done boarding before. I also know how to do cpr and tend to special dogs I love spending time with my dogs. Your dogs will get the same amount of attention and loving as my dogs do. Nothing better than spending my free time with my dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs that can and will keep them company. Super friendly dogs that will play all day if they could.
“Rachel and her family have been a life saver for us. We have a lovely little pup that adores kids and other puppies...and Rachel has just that. Eva loves to go to Rachel's. A sleepy pup is a wonderful pup❤️”
“Awesome sitter! Was able to squeeze my girl in last minute on the Fourth of July so I could spend time with family instead of stressing over her barking (from separation anxiety) in the hotel. Erin is so sweet and invited us in right away to take a look at her house and the backyard. She made me feel very good about leaving my little angel in her care. When we went to pick her up Erin invited us in again and filled us in on everything they did together. Mocha was a very happy girl when we picked her up and I know they had fun together!”
About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from playful puppies to more relaxed or senior dogs. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own, paying close attention to their routines, behavior, and comfort. I’m patient, reliable, and good at picking up on small changes in a pet’s mood or needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just giving them love and attention, I make sure each pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I have three dogs of my own. As an online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to maintain consistent feeding, walking, and play schedules, and I’m home often to provide companionship and supervision. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, along with three friendly and playful dogs who enjoy socializing. I always introduce pets slowly to make sure everyone is comfortable. If needed, I can separate or crate my dogs or your pet to ensure a stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to their pet’s normal schedule to keep them comfortable and relaxed.
About: Hi! I’m a full-time pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also small mammals and exotics. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, rats, tortoises, lizards, hermit crabs, and even tiny critters like jumping spiders. If it has fur, scales, or a shell, there’s a good chance I’m comfortable caring for it! I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always prioritize each animal’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether that means high-energy playtime for big dogs, gentle handling for small pets, or precise care for reptiles and invertebrates, I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and reliable care. I’m available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and attentive to your pet while you’re away. I understand that every pet household is different, and I’m happy to discuss specific care needs, animals not listed here, or custom pricing. If you have any questions at all—about availability, pricing, or whether I’d be a good fit for your pet—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to chat and make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I have experience with different age ranges too - I've had the opportunity to see many of my fur family member's long lives, from beginning to end. I am currently working remotely and on my own time, so I have lots of flexibility with times and services. I love being outdoors and enjoy a cozy day in too. We have an unfenced yard and a deck with a gate on the stairs down. We live on walking trails that our fur babies frequent with. Dogs and cats are allowed to free-roam the house. We do have MANY kennels (with varying sizes) that we can utilize if needed. I also am comfortable going into your home and watching your critters there too :)
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve trained my own dogs through three levels of obedience and raised five of them from the time they were 8 weeks old and took care of them through their elderly years including in pup wheel chairs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to independent cats and senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work school hours during the week and have Thursdays at home, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 4 p.m. on weekdays, and for boarding or extended visits on weekends. Your pets will always get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I love spending time brushing and walking all of my furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard at this time, but I spend lots of time outside with pets in our spacious back yard and make sure they’re always safely supervised. I’m comfortable using leashes, harnesses, and long leads to give dogs room to explore while keeping them secure. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, caring environment where every pet feels safe and loved.
“Mindy was absolutely amazing with our dog Brodie! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt confident that he was in great hands. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Brodie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kathryn is absolutely wonderful with my two pups. She realized right away little Dukie does better with his “momma” on their walks so she takes both the pups together. Kathryn is extremely kind, trustworthy, and very good at communicating. It takes so much off my plate knowing I have a dependable dog walker/sitter for when my baby gets here, absolute Godsend!”
“Always on time down to the minute. Medical training and previous veterinarian. I feel my puppy is in good hands, and never i have to worry about my puppy's safety. She's beyond just a person who walks my dog. Kish has built a relationship with my dog. My dog is always happy to know she's going on a walk with her. To my dog she's just another family member at this point. Would have anybody body else walk my dog at this point.”
About: I have taken care of friends & family members dogs, both big & small, since I was 11 years old. I also volunteered at the humane society in my hometown for 4 years.

I have also been blessed with the experience of working professionally with dogs for 3+ years & plan to continue in the future. I also have 2 dogs of my own! I am currently not working for the summer. During the school year I work as a food service worker at a local middle school. I am very passionate about animals! I’ve worked at 3 different doggie daycares as a dog handler/shift leader & as an assistant manager. I’ve gained a lot of experience during my time at these facilities and have grown even more passionate! I have experience in many areas when it comes to caring for pets! My husband and I have two dogs named Woody & Bee. Woody is a German short haired pointer that is very playful, gentle & has lots of love to give! He is extremely dog friendly & has accompanied me to the doggie daycare facilities and played with dogs of all shapes & sizes. Bee is a golden retriever who is as sweet as can be. All she ever wants to do is cuddle and be best buddies! She is also great with other dogs & just wants to have fun. We do live in an apartment but we have a larger living room where our dogs play when inside. I take our dog’s potty every 3-4 hours max. We also have a huge grassy area right across the street where we love to let our dogs run & play. I am willing to crate your pets if needed but I am a huge dog lover and will soak up all the puppy cuddles I can get!

About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs pretty much my whole life, so I’m really comfortable around all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ve also spent a lot of time staying overnight with dogs and watching them for different lengths of time, whether it’s just a day or longer trips. I’m used to handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m a teacher during the school year, so my weekdays are a bit more structured since I’m working from about 8–4. In the summer, I switch things up and work as a nanny three days a week. I’m still available on weekends year-round, and during the school year I can be available outside of my work hours on weekdays as well. I really strive to be a safe, calm place for dogs, no matter their personality or needs. I’m comfortable around all types—whether they’re super energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m also very good at following whatever routine or plan you already have set up for your pet, so they can stay comfortable and stick to what they’re used to while you’re away.
“Nicole has been absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Indie and Kava. From day one, she’s been reliable, punctual, and such a great communicator—something we truly value and don’t take for granted. She always keeps us in the loop and goes above and beyond by sending multiple pictures during every walk, which honestly makes our day every time. It’s so clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs. Indie and Kava adore her, and we feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such kind, attentive hands. She doesn’t just “walk” them—she spends quality time with them, makes sure they’re happy, and treats them like her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly passionate about what they do, Nicole is it. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her! 🐾”
“Joanne was dependable, great with the dogs and just a wonderful person to interact with! I really appreciated the daily communication and pictures of each walk and she went above and beyond for both the dogs and the family with her care! Thank you Joanne!!”
“My first time using Rover, Michelle was very nice, came over to meet us before the visit, and kept me updated. She made me feel much better about having a stranger come over and walk my dog.”

“Pamela was the best sitter I’ve had on Rover! She was so accommodating to my pickup/drop off times, extending my stay, and Duncan’s care. She even noticed and educated me on a rash he was developing and kept an eye on it. She made me feel so at ease while I was out of town. I was truly able to relax on my vacation knowing Duncan was under great care.”
“My pups had a great time with Eric and Gretchen! They came home relaxed and happy. We received sweet photos of the pups and frequent texts. They did a great job taking care of their meds -- very calm and caring.”
“Yuki is, hands down, the best pet sitter I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Ena had SUCH a wonderful time and I hope to have the opportunity to work with Yuki again.”
“Elizabeth is great. Her genuine kindness is so obvious I had no doubt my pupper was in good hands. Although I was missing my boy, it was comforting to know he was being well cared for.”
“Ana was so caring for our dog, Nala. She gave great updates (including video and pics!). It was so comforting knowing she was being well-loved on and cared for while we were away! We will definitely ask Ana to watch her again sometime! ☺️”
“Taylor's care was simply fantastic. Her own dogs are so gentle and welcoming; you can see that Taylor and her husband are dog lovers. My dog craves exercise, so I was a little hesitant about how she would adjust to staying in an apartment, but I should never have worried! Taylor made sure she had lots of safe, outside, running time at the park! She sent us pictures and updates, and although Sydney was glad to see me, she was also stress-free and obviously well cared for. I recommend Taylor 100%.”
“Renae was absolutely amazing with my pup! She kept me updated the whole time, sent me check-ins, and made everything so easy from start to finish. Harlynn came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciate how attentive and reliable she was throughout the entire process. I will definitely be booking with Renae again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to take care of their fur baby!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I truly love them with my whole heart and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy or a senior dog who needs some extra care, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m all about cuddles, consistency, and making sure your pet feels totally at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and playtime. I’m already used to building my day around my own cat, so adding in extra care is something I truly enjoy. Having animals around makes my day better, and I love being that dependable person pets can feel safe with. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so everything feels familiar. At my place, while I don’t have a yard, I live right next to a dog park, which means plenty of playtime and fresh air! Pets in my care get a cozy, calm space, lots of love, and attention tailored to their needs.
“My pup had a great time! Ty was great. He kept me updated on how it was going and was very easy to work with. We will be using him again and I highly recommend his services. Wonderful experience.”
“She was very pleasant to work with and always provided pictures! She was great to work with, and I know my dog loved spending time over there! Would 100% book again when leaving town!”
“Katelyn and Hayden took such good care of our pups! Kona and Maple didn’t wanna leave and had the best time playing with their dog, Mae! We got videos and pictures throughout their stay so we knew they were well taken care of and had a blast! We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
About: I have a lot of dog experience plus dogs myself. I’ve taken classes trained and also done boarding before. I also know how to do cpr and tend to special dogs I love spending time with my dogs. Your dogs will get the same amount of attention and loving as my dogs do. Nothing better than spending my free time with my dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs that can and will keep them company. Super friendly dogs that will play all day if they could.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and have taken care of cats for 2 years now. I love taking care of both equally! I work full time, my husband works part time and is home during the day. We are available to watch your pets on weekends, but can do during the week as well! I have a home in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run.

About: I have taken care of many dogs. My friends and family have trusted me with all kinds of dogs. I love to walk dogs, play with dogs, and everything else that comes with being a pet owner! I have a very open schedule. I may be gone for an hour in the morning and occasional events from time to time. I will have lots of available time to spend with your dog. My home has a very large fenced in backyard. We have a great walking path for long or short walks. We have one dog that gets along very well with other dogs.
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals. My kids are 10 & 7. They have grown up with pets in the home & understand to respect the animal. I am able to give them attention throughout the day as I work in my home. I only accept 1 dog per day as a playmate to my own dog & to ensure the dogs have enough supervision. I have a fully fenced yard for them to explore & enjoy. I'll keep you updated with photos throughout their stay. To ensure safety and a stress-free stay for everyone: -Dogs must be comfortable in a home environment -No severe separation anxiety (must be able to settle when I step out briefly) -No destructive behaviors (chewing furniture, doors, crates, etc.) -No aggressive behaviors toward people or other dogs -No escape artists (must respect fencing and gates) -Up-to-date on vaccinations and flea prevention -Friendly with children and other dogs I work from home in an office upstairs. Currently, my pets are able to roam freely throughout the house. I am able to do 10-15 minute walks in the morning, (longer during lunch, afternoon, & in the evening. I have a fenced in yard. The pets are able to roam freely throughout the house, or I am able to coral them to one side of the house when we leave. Dogs will be crated during the night.
