“We had such a great experience leaving our little Luna with Jacob and Willie (his friendly dog!). Jacob was super communicative with little reassuring updates and made sure to provide a cozy and comfortable space for her to stay while we were on vacation. Were really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone to care for their pup!”
“Ashton was amazing!! I could tell my dogs got lots of love and they enjoyed their stay. Not only was Ashton available and accommodating for our last-minute request, but he was communicative and put my mind at ease about leaving my big goof balls for the weekend. Will definitely be using Ashton and family again!”

“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Shadow had an amazing by time with Josh! Loved all the updates and photos while we were away, we could tell he was very loved and he was very tired when he got home…a win win for sure!”

“Wonderful experience. Katherine took such good care of my fur baby while I was away. She's very thorough, caring, and cared for my boy as if he were her own. Her daily check ins were very pleasant to read through and the photographer-quality pics had me resting assured that Jasper was in good hands. Highly recommend, thank you Kate!”
“Julie is the best!! Being our second boarding with Julie, Nelly was excited to see her when I dropped her off- a wonderful sign! Julie is in tune with Nelly’s needs providing my high energy dog with the exercise and attention she needs. I was provided with pictures and updates, and at pick up Nelly was clearly a happy pup, also giving Julie love before leaving. Highly recommend!”
“Tilly seemed to enjoy her overnight stay and interacted well with Alexandra’s dog. There was excellent communication between us with several great status photos provided. Will certainly use her services again!”

“Jordan was amazing with my girls, even winning over the more timid Darcie by the end of their time together! I will absolutely be rebooking Jordan to look after my cats in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Sravanti! Mom to 2 adorable cats (5 and 4) — I have plenty of experience taking care of cats. I love to play games and use treat puzzles to provide stimulation. I can also give medications, trim nails and even take them out for a walk! My younger cat Luna loves to walk and I take her out on a leash almost everyday. I also don’t mind cleaning/changing litter when needed. I also have some dog walking experience from volunteering at the NHSPCA (I also did plenty of cat care as a volunteer). As someone who has had to travel frequently, I completely understand the limitations in taking our beloved pets with us and the need for someone to trust their care to. I promise to be that person for you, and take care of your pets in your stead until you return home :)
“Susan was the first sitter to get our cat to come out of hiding. She was responsive, paid attention to details and did a great job. I will certainly be reaching out to her again next time we need a sitter.”
About: Hello! I have experience caring for pets in my area (as well as my own) and I am excited to connect with families and make some new furry friends! I am available on weekdays and weekends to pet sit or provide other pet care services! I do work full time during the week, but I will still be able to house sit and let pets outside to use the bathroom before I leave and when I come home. On weekends I am free to stay home with them all day! I love spending time with animals and enjoy taking my dog on long walks, which I’ll be happy to do with your fur baby! Giving pets, attention, keeping your pet active, and following directions/owner preferences are all strong suits of mine.
“Callie was so accommodating for our last-minute request! She and her girls were so sweet - successfully winning over our shy and sometimes-reclusive kitties. Definitely felt at ease knowing they were being cared for while we were away”
“Did everything we requested and connected with Calvin and Hobbs. Both cats seemed to follow him all over the house and were fine. We will definely use Robert again when going away.”
“Maryam was amazing! My shy elderly boy was well cared for and even came out for her after a couple visits. Loved all the pictures and updates she provided. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Emily is extremely friendly and warm. . She has a real passion for animals and a lot of experience. She is easy to work with and excellent at giving updates about caring for your animal(s). We had a great experience in her checking on our beloved cat, Butterscotch!”
About: Hi there! I've grown up surrounded by animals, dogs, cats, even chinchillas! Helping my parents care for and train our dogs was one of my favorite parts of childhood, and that love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. I have a fur baby of my own, Lola who is not just my dog, but my best friend and most loyal companion. She loves her long morning walks and getting lost with me on hiking trails, but I think her favorite thing might just be snuggling on the couch. I rescued Lola from a shelter, and that experience inspired me to start volunteering with a nonprofit pit bull rescue. We're passionate about giving dogs in need a second chance and helping to change the negative stereotypes around pit bulls. Meeting new furry friends always brings me joy, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care is truly a part of my everyday life! My own dog, Lola, keeps me on a consistent routine. We start every morning with a walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some cuddle time before I head to work. On my days off, I love taking her to new parks, hiking trails, or to families houses for some playtime with cousins. Pet care doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with furry friends, I naturally work pet care into my routine because animals have always been such a big part of my life. Caring for other pets while their families are away is just an extension of what I already do, and love doing every day! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in yours, my priority is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that sticks as closely as possible to your pet's normal routine. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar setting. I’ll follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and potty routines to playtime and bedtime rituals. I always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping your home clean and respected. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or handle other light household tasks as needed! In My Home: If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated just like family! I have a dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots for naps, space to play, and a calm, safe atmosphere. My pup Lola is very well-socialized and gentle with other dogs. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and has their own space to eat, relax, and rest. I’ll also keep up with their usual schedule, dietary needs, medications, and, of course, give lots of love and attention! No matter where the care takes place, communication is key—I’ll always keep you updated with photos, notes, and check-ins so you can feel confident and relaxed while you're away.
“Meg took great care of my kitty while I was gone. She listened to what I needed and followed through. It gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: Hi there! I am a lifelong dog owner and have been caring for others' pets for over 5 years. I have experience walking and doing in-home check-ins with both dogs and cats. I am comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes. I have a flexible schedule and can generally handle multiple dogs at a time. If you hire me to take care of your dog, you can rest assured that they will be closely monitored, exercised, and most importantly, happy in my care. I currently work full time, but my schedule varies and there are multiple days during the week that I am available for walks and in-home visits. I do not provide in-home pet care at my own home - I have two dogs of my own that occupy all of my space!

“Amazing as always- Ryder always has the best time with Amanda! He jumped out of the car this morning so excited. And available last minute which is so nice when last minute things come up. She is the best, and I appreciate her so much 😊”
“Alison is great to work with! She was available when I needed someone to watch my dog on very short notice. This is the second time we’ve left our dog with Alison. She messages back quickly with updates and sends photos. She is very flexible with drop off and pick up times which is extremely helpful.”
“Jodie took wonderful care of our tiny pup while we were out for the day. We had consistent updates during the sit and pictures of a very content puppy that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the day. Already booked the next sit, so happy to have found a wonderful sitter nearby!”

“Lindsey was so accommodating when we had to leave Oreo (our Shi Tzu) with her for 4 days. She has a Chihuahua of her own and both of them became friends. I would recommend her for your pet day care.”
“Our collie, Logan, and ourselves, too loved Kathryn and her big back yard. Her 2 dogs, Arlo and Smoky, were great hosts. Logan had a fun time and came home happy and content. We are looking forward to many more daycares and boarding soon.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, having owned and been with many dogs throughout my life. I provide a safe environment with a large yard, stay home full-time during care, administer medications when needed, and have personally trained each of my dogs, including my French bulldog, Rodolfo. I have flexible schedule, working from home and can provide flexible pick up and drop off times. Playing with the dogs gives me multiple opportunities to step away from work during the day. I live on more than 2 acres on a quiet road. I have a friendly 2 year old French Bulldog that loves to play with other dogs.
About: Hello, thanks for considering me to help care for your family! A little about me- I’ve had dogs my whole life. A lovable quirky Golden and quite a few Akitas. I’ve found every dog has unique needs and especially adoptees and rescues, need extra patience and understanding to gain your trust. I like to be mindful and cater to each dog’s individual needs on a case by case basis so they get the best possible care, which they deserve. I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with care and love. I have experience with both puppies and aging dogs. At any stage in their life I’m happy to do what I can to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have cared for cats and dogs with daily check ins and in-house care. I feel strongly that both parties be comfortable with the pet care. You, the owners, should feel comfortable with me watching your pet(s) just as I should feel confident watching them. This is not just a way to earn some extra income (while that is important) your pet(s) deserve the best and if we are not a good match both parties are welcome to decline the care if we feel that’s best so your loved one(s), you, and I all feel good about the situation. Communication is key and as I mentioned if either of us feel unsure or unsafe it’s not worth the compensation. I hope this little blurb is not a deterrent but rather an extra layer of assurance why I am a good candidate for your dog(s) by being honest, fair to all parties, and prioritizing everyone’s safety. That being said I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family members! I have experience with a variety of cats, Golden Retrievers, Akitas (up to 130 lbs), German Shepards, Terriers, Boxer-Pit mixes, Labrador’s, and quite a few other mutts. I like dogs, big or small! If there are any specific instructions, medications, specific training commands, check-in requests, or any other requests please let me know! I’m more than happy to work with you to confirm details and instructions and make sure you’re comfortable leaving your little family members, while making the process easy and stress free. Thanks for reading my profile and considering me to help watch over your creatures! I truly love animals and look forward to taking great care of yours. FLEXIBLE! My schedule is a little different every week and can be flexible as needed (especially if planned ahead of time). I’m happy to discuss scheduling options with you to cater to the timeframe(s) your pet(s) need care. Let’s chat! I take extra care when in anyone else’s space, whether that’s your apartment, house, condo, whatever your home looks like, it warrants respect, privacy, and care. I have experience with dogs being put in their cages when left alone, for dinner, or overnight. I also have experience with dogs sleeping in the same square foot I do! (And by that I mean I am their human-sized pillow so they can sleep comfortably haha). All depends on what you prefer, happy to chat about your preferences. This is your pet, your choice. I will respect your requests, just communicate what you expect for your dog/cat/creature and we’ll make sure we’re on the same page so you and your pet are comfortable. Just let me know and I’ll make it happen!
“Ashley is pleasant and knows what she is doing with these dogs! She has an ideal yard and home and was willing to show me the environment. She sent me pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Ashley again!”
“My 8yo dog Wilbur loved her time with Joshua and Rebecca! We haven't needed dog sitting or daycare often, and I am so glad I was able to find Joshua while in town on a work trip. Wilbur made new friends (she can be a loner but loves people), got out on tons of walks and creeks, and even got to ride in the dog van. It can be stressful finding the right dog care when on the road vs. at home with people you know, and I'm glad Wilbur got to spend a few day care days with this family!”

“Mercedes had her first walk with Jordan, and it went very well. She quickly understood it was new for both of us and made sure we were comfortable. She was patient, kind, and attentive to Mercedes’s needs. By the end, my anxiety was gone. Mercedes was in good hands, and I trust her. I highly recommend her!”

I promise to be that person for you, and take care of your pets in your stead until you return home :) I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets. I have a car and have no problem driving. I can make up to 4 visits a day for food and play. I will take plenty of pictures for updates. I have 2 cats myself (one of them is a very anxious little boy) and I’m very patient with all animals. I will be as little or as much involved as your pet would be comfortable with, taking care not to startle or spook them. I like to avoid loud noises or brisk movements, generally just go about doing food and water refills, any cleanup with litter etc and wait for your fur babies to approach. I also like to hold out my arm to let them sniff and decide if they want to engage further or not. As long they are interested, I’d be delighted to play games or just sit and cuddle for a while. And if there’s any special preferences from you, I’d be more than happy to incorporate those as well!

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they were always a part of my life, and caring for them came naturally. Both of my parents shared that same love for animals, so I was raised in a home where pets were treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. That love has stayed with me into adulthood. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, and there's always plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing—whatever makes them feel most at home. When your pet stays with me, they won't just be looked after—they'll be welcomed into a home where they're treated with the same love, care, and respect I'd want for my own pets. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that's going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home while their family is away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under my supervision. I never leave pets outside unattended, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of love and attention.
About: I am such a big dog lover that has loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. I am very passionate about dogs and I believe that dogs deserve the best care they need. I have been taking care of dogs and walking dogs ever since I was a little girl. I will take your dogs to the vets or trail locks if anything were to happen. If you’re going on vacation or if you need a dog walker I will be there for your dog and I will give your dog the best attention it needs and I will play with your dog and love your dog as well. Your dog will definitely have such a fun time with me because I will spoil it in the best way as possible. I am working a full-time job Monday through Friday and I’m available to take care of your pets right after I get out of work at 3:30 PM and I have full availability on weekends. I offer housesitting at the client’s house only. If I were to have animals at my house. My yard is partially fenced in, but not fully.
“Ben is awesome! I had a last-minute walker cancel on me through Wag, so this was my first time using Rover. Ben stepped in last minute and was there for both my family and Monty when we really needed someone. He was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and kind, and he was absolutely wonderful with Monty. It was clear that Monty was comfortable and well cared for with him. Ben went above and beyond to accommodate us, and I truly appreciate it. I highly recommend Ben and would absolutely use him again!”
“Callie is amazing! She is dependable and communicates effectively. I really can’t explain how much I appreciate her! I look forward to the pictures of Kola from her walks! Thank you Callie so much!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I have taken care of neighbors, family, and close friends' animals. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and personalities. I have had to administer medication via shots to animals before and feel comfortable in those situations. I plan on going to veterinary school and have a strong interest in animals and making sure they have fun. I am currently working an internship completely online as well as taking an online summer class. I am able to stay anywhere I need to take care of animals. I have not much else that can interfere with me accompanying the animals. I will take the animals on walks and play with them. I want to make sure they are having as much fun as possible so they cannot worry about anything.
About: You're barking up the right tree with my services! I've had dogs since I was 5 and have provided dog care to my neighborhood, friends, and family for most of my life. I treat every pet as if they were my own and never go anywhere without dog treats in my bag. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and rescues and have taken care of many breeds ranging from Dachshunds to Border Collies to an 80 lb German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. Whether it's playing fetch for hours or snuggling on the couch your dog will be in great hands. I don't have a dog of my own right now so I have lots of doggie love to give :) If you're looking for someone dependable, fun, and want to help me stop asking everyone I see if I can pet their dog then give me a shout! I'm in school right now so I'm very flexible and am happy to work with my schedule and yours to take care of your pet. Your pet is family when they're with me and I prioritize safety and respect of both your pet and household. I will always respect your pet's space and comfort and ensure they're safe at all times. I treat a client's home as if it were my own: any mess will be properly taken care of (whether that be a shredded toy or a potty accident), everything gets put back in its proper place, and all spaces will be left just as they were found if not cleaner.
“We love Emily and are so lucky to have found her. She does a great job caring for our crazy animals and is very reliable. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and have one of my own. I work with dogs on a daily basis and have found that I enjoy being around all dogs and finding out their quirks. What they like, what they don't like, and how to have fun with them. I also do love cats as my household had no less than 3 when I was growing up. They can be absolute sweethearts or absolute chaos, but we all love them regardless. I can accommodate what I need to. I work 2 jobs but both are based around my preference. I am able to figure out what I need to in order to proper care for pets. I truly wish for animals to stay comfortable around me so I always try to build trust before doing anything with a dog or cat I do not know. I prefer it when I can get their true personality to shine and they feel comfortable around me.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember, and I currently live with my American Staffordshire Terrier. I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats. I’m comfortable with high-energy and strong breeds, as well as more low-key cats. I’ve helped manage feeding schedules, basic training, and day-to-day care for multiple pets at once. Your pet will get my full attention. I send photo updates and treat every animal like my own! I’m generally available most afternoons and weekends (some Saturdays and all Sundays) for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. My schedule can shift week to week, so please check my calendar or message me for current availability. I’ll do my best to work around your needs! I provide care exclusively at the client’s home, so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine, food, and bedding. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or in-home boarding, I focus on keeping things consistent: sticking to their regular schedule, giving them attention and exercise, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own dogs.
About: I've taken care of friends pet/pets for years and totally enjoy the experience and looking forward to more opportunities to care and love for your pet/pets. I'm retired so very flexible with my schedule and routine. Love being outdoors walking, hiking, etc. making sure the pet is content with all activities I sometimes care for pets in my own home. Lots of walking and play. I also sit at clients homes for pet's familiarity and safety
About: Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’ve lived my entire life. From hermit crabs and guinea pigs to dogs, cats, and even farm animals through veterinary science programs, I’ve cared for animals of all sizes, personalities, and needs. What truly sets me apart is that I respect animals for who they are. I understand body language, boundaries, and temperament — especially with cats, who require patience and trust. I don’t force interaction. I don’t rush visits. I create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels understood. Your pets aren’t just appointments on my schedule — they’re individuals, and I treat them like family. I currently work full time as a dental assistant at a small, local office. I am typically available evenings starting at 5:00pm, and free all day Friday- Sunday! My cats are truly my babies, and their happiness and safety shape how I care for every pet. We recently moved into a large townhouse specifically so they would have more space to explore — three full floors to run, climb, and play. Creating an enriching environment for them was important to me, because I believe cats thrive when they have room to move and feel stimulated. They even have their own dedicated cat room (yes — the spare bedroom belongs to them). It’s filled with endless toys, cozy spots, scratchers, and safe hiding places where they can relax or play whenever they want. Out back, they have access to a secure, fenced-in area on our private patio within an additional fenced yard — giving them safe outdoor enrichment while staying fully protected. I believe cats deserve more than just basic care — they deserve intentional space, enrichment, safety, and love. That’s the same level of thought and attention I bring to every cat I care for.

“Ashton was amazing!! I could tell my dogs got lots of love and they enjoyed their stay. Not only was Ashton available and accommodating for our last-minute request, but he was communicative and put my mind at ease about leaving my big goof balls for the weekend. Will definitely be using Ashton and family again!”
“Megan was a great sitter, she communicated well and sent pictures of Tori which I loved :) Drop off and pick up went smoothly and she had everything ready when I got there. Thanks Megan!”
“Will definitely book again! She was so sweet and accommodating, easy to schedule with and quick to respond. Our puppy is still young so needs a little extra patience and attention, but she didn’t even mention it! Very happy with how Max was cared for :)”
“10/10 perfect! The care that Charlie received was awesome. He looked so happy in all the photos! Honestly I feel like he is sad I took him away from his new doggie and human friends! Definitely recommend!”

“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”

“Wonderful experience. Katherine took such good care of my fur baby while I was away. She's very thorough, caring, and cared for my boy as if he were her own. Her daily check ins were very pleasant to read through and the photographer-quality pics had me resting assured that Jasper was in good hands. Highly recommend, thank you Kate!”
“Julie is the best!! Being our second boarding with Julie, Nelly was excited to see her when I dropped her off- a wonderful sign! Julie is in tune with Nelly’s needs providing my high energy dog with the exercise and attention she needs. I was provided with pictures and updates, and at pick up Nelly was clearly a happy pup, also giving Julie love before leaving. Highly recommend!”
“I travel fairly often and have used other sitters on Rover as well as private sitters. I have to say Brooke is the only sitter I will ever use again! She's totally on point and is great with my Siberian Husky. If you're looking for the absolute best sitter on Rover Brooke is it!”
“We are so happy to have found Donnie and Maddy! We have boarded our dog, Hank, twice- once overnight and more recently for 4 days. We really appreciate the flexibility of their calendar and pick up/drop off times, the quick communication and the pictures and videos we receive of our boy. Hank seems to love Donnie’s house and making new friends. Thank you SO much for taking great care of him! We are really grateful to have a reliable dog sitter when we can’t bring him along with us on our travels.”

Our dog had an incredible experience, and I look forward to rebooking with Rebecca the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
