“Kourtney is so sweet! She boarded my two dogs for 6 days. I have a big dog who is a love and a little dog who is mean and a biter(legit just randomly bites). I was VERY honest about him and she still accepted him. I honestly cannot thank her enough for taking them. She truly is a rockstar dog sitter!”
“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 :)”
“Amy was amazing with Cooper! He can be very shy with new people, but she was patient and gentle with him and made him feel comfortable. It was such a relief knowing Cooper was happy and well cared for while we were away. I would definitely recommend Amy!”

“We were super comfortable leaving our dog at Luiz’s house for the week while we went on vacation! They send lots of pictures and take great care of the dogs in their care.”
“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!”
“We had such a great experience! She took wonderful care of our puppy and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals. Highly recommend!”

“Donna was great! DJ enjoyed his stay with her, he was happy and safe in her care. She provided a daily update with a photo which was fun to see! I am definitely going to book with Donna again. 😁”
“Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!”
“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”
“This is my Kona’s first boarding. Adriana and her family took care of Kona very well. Kona looks happy every moment. Also I appreciate Adriana shared many photos and video during the stay. I could know how Kona was doing timely.”

About: Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have 18 years of pet care experience. I have had pleasure of owning three dogs over the course of my adult life. I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day. My husband Martin will also join me on walks/trails at times when he is home in the evening and weekends. I offer in-home boarding. Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner. All dogs boarding must be crate trained for nightly sleep for their safety and the safety of other dogs.
“Jessica provided a great care of our cat Mimi during the 2 weeks we were gone for the trip. Jessica is very communicative, always was available for any questions or updates on Mimi’s stay with her. We also appreciated a lot that Jessica took the burden of pick up and drop off which helped us tremendously. Whenever we need help with our cat when we are away we will request a booking with Jessica in a heartbeat.”
“Amanda was great, she took such good care of Caju, and was flexible about the drop off which was really helpful for us. Amanda and her partner were very friendly, communicative and made sure Caju had a good time while he was there, they have a big fenced yard for the dogs to run around.”

Callie did everything well, but most notably she was able to quickly adapt and think on her feet when some quirky things happened with my door locks, which was absolutely no fault of her own. She handled that situation expertly and I felt very safe knowing she had everything under control! Anyone should feel very comfortable leaving their pets and/or home under Callie’s care!”

“Kali was great! My husband and I left our cat for the first time and were really nervous but her communication while we were away helped ease our anxieties. She even made sure to turn on the A/C during a couple really hot days. Our cat isn’t the easiest cat to get along with but she always tried to take the time to play even when he wasn’t being nice with his claws. I would definitely use Kali again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, starting my pet care career in high school at a doggie daycare, and ending up here, with 6 years of professional experience and the same love of animals I’ve had since the beginning. I do have a full time job that prevents me from doing any jobs between the hours of 7am-4pm Tuesday-Thursday. Friday/Saturday I am available beginning at 2pm, and Sunday/Monday I have open availability. I treat all animals the way I would hope someone would take care of my girls when I go on vacation. There’s nothing more important to me than knowing they’re in good hands with someone who will not only stop by and feed them, but spend time with them, maybe cuddle on the couch or just keep them company. I understand that your pets are family, and I will always treat them as such.

While spending time at your home will treat it as my home with keeping it clean and able to do little stuff around the house such as watering the plants and picking up the mail with no extra cost. I have a flexible schedule, which I am able to pet sit at last notice. I have a dog name Juno who is a six year old Labrador who is friendly and gets along with all dogs. I would like meet and greets just to know the dog before hand and the dog knows me and Juno before we welcome them into our home! We want to create a welcoming home to your dog by not being a total stranger watching them, helping your dog with adjusting as their family is away. I currently work as a nurse so on my days off I am usually at home hanging with Juno and going on walks or playing in the uard I have yard with a river in the back. My dog usually off leash but because of the no fence will keep your dog on leash for safety and lots of walks throughout the day!

About: Pet Care Experience — From Horses to Cats to Dogs My life with animals began long before it became a profession. At 14 years old, I started caring for horses — feeding, grooming, riding, exercising, and treating them as family. Horses taught me early lessons in patience, responsibility, and the importance of daily, consistent care. They also showed me how powerful the bond can be when animals are treated with respect and love. By 16, that passion grew into the dog world when I had the opportunity to be mentored by a close friend who was a Police K9 handler. That mentorship changed my life and set me on a path that would define my career. I began training at a K9 school in my hometown in New Hampshire, where I learned the foundations of K9 behavior, obedience, care, and handling of working dogs. I poured everything I had into learning the craft. After a year of dedicated internship and training, I taught my first class at just 17 years old. From that moment, I knew this was more than a job — it was a calling. Over the years, my experience grew into becoming a Police K9 handler in New Hampshire, followed by serving as a trainer and instructor for the NH Police K9 Academy through the Working Dog Foundation. I worked daily with high-drive working dogs and their handlers, focusing on discipline, safety, trust, and performance in real-world environments. After completing my full-time police career, I continued my K9 journey overseas, spending eight years in the Middle East providing private K9 handling and instruction in support of Army operations and Private Security detachments. Working in demanding and high-stress conditions further refined my skills and reinforced the importance of calm leadership, consistency, and deep respect for the dogs that depend on us. At the same time, I never stopped helping everyday families with their pets. Training and caring for family dogs — from energetic puppies to older companions — has always been just as important to me as working with professional K9 teams. I believe every dog deserves structure, patience, and loving guidance so they can thrive as well-behaved members of the family. Alongside my deep dog experience, my connection to cats comes from being a devoted cat owner. My wife and I shared our home with two amazing cats for about eight years, caring for them daily and loving them as part of our family. Living with cats taught me to appreciate their unique personalities, their need for gentle handling, respect for space, and the importance of calm, consistent routines — especially in a home shared with dogs. While my background with cats is personal rather than professional, it comes from genuine love and hands-on care as a pet parent. Through every chapter — horses, dogs, and cats — one thing has never changed: I treat animals as family. Today, with 27 years of experience centered around K9 training, handling, and care, supported by a lifetime of loving animals of all kinds, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I work with. Whether your dog needs structured care, your cat needs gentle attention, or your pet simply needs someone who will treat them like their own, I’m here to provide that level of trust and commitment. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just choosing a sitter or caretaker — you’re choosing someone who has built his life around animals and who will care for yours with the same respect, patience, and love I’ve given my own. I am currently able to accommodate week days and most weekends to assist our communities. I can be available pretty much any time during the day as I own my own company that is newer to the industry it is supporting. 🛡️🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment For me, caring for animals has always been about more than just meeting basic needs — it’s about earning trust, creating calm, and treating every pet with the same respect and love I give my own. With decades of experience around animals — especially working dogs in high-responsibility and high-stress environments — I’ve learned that pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and cared for with consistency. Whether it’s a high-drive dog, a shy cat, or a senior companion, I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routines, and comfort level. In my care, your pet will have: ❤️ Genuine compassion and patience 🏡 A calm, structured, and loving environment 🦴 Proper exercise, enrichment, and rest 🍽️ Attention to feeding routines and health needs 👀 Close supervision and awareness at all times I believe animals should never feel rushed, ignored, or unsafe. I keep their spaces clean, secure, and peaceful, and I handle every interaction with calm confidence so they know they’re in good hands. Because of my background with working dogs and my life with pets like Aries, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else. I don’t take that lightly. When your pet is with me, they’re treated as part of my family — with the highest level of care, respect, and responsibility. Most importantly, I listen to what matters most to you, learning your pet’s daily routines and needs so I can mirror your care and make their time with me feel just like home.
About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant, as well as shelter experience. I'm available for drop in visits and dog walking. I do not have a set schedule at work yet so I will have different availability every week. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.
About: Been around many different dog breeds and pets since I was a kid. Family and friends have all relied on me to walk, play, and stay with their pets. I am comfortable with small or large dogs! I am a part-time server 3-4 nights a week! My shifts are roughly 4 hours, and I am out of school for the summer so I am available during the weekdays and weekends. I am willing to stay with pets overnight or as long as needed at clients home to ensure their comfortability! I have references that will testify to my willingness to keep their pets safe and satisfied.

“Kourtney is so sweet! She boarded my two dogs for 6 days. I have a big dog who is a love and a little dog who is mean and a biter(legit just randomly bites). I was VERY honest about him and she still accepted him. I honestly cannot thank her enough for taking them. She truly is a rockstar dog sitter!”
“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 :)”
“Amy was amazing with Cooper! He can be very shy with new people, but she was patient and gentle with him and made him feel comfortable. It was such a relief knowing Cooper was happy and well cared for while we were away. I would definitely recommend Amy!”
“Emily was great, gave us plenty of updates of how Brodie was doing while he was under her care and was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. Would highly recommend and have her watch Brodie again!”
“We were super comfortable leaving our dog at Luiz’s house for the week while we went on vacation! They send lots of pictures and take great care of the dogs in their care.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have five of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom to four kids, I’m home and available throughout the day—meaning your pup will always have company, love, and attention. Caring for pets is second nature in my home. Between my five dogs and four kids, there’s always love, play, and activity to go around. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, pets easily become part of our family rhythm and daily routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention—just as if they were my own. I also keep homes tidy and respect any specific instructions, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“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!”
“The pups loved their stay with Amanda and her family! They were clearly doted on and had a great time. We got updates throughout the stay and communication was easy & clear. Would definitely board with her again. Thank you!”
“Donna was great! DJ enjoyed his stay with her, he was happy and safe in her care. She provided a daily update with a photo which was fun to see! I am definitely going to book with Donna again. 😁”
“Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!”
“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”
“Susan and John are wonderful and I’m so glad I found them on Rover. My dogs, Ginger and Ollie, love them. They have games for the dogs to play with and they have a fenced in backyard. They are also wonderful at sending pictures which helped me to know they were safe and having a good time. Susan and John have a warm loving home and I would highly recommend them.”
About: Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have 18 years of pet care experience. I have had pleasure of owning three dogs over the course of my adult life. I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day. My husband Martin will also join me on walks/trails at times when he is home in the evening and weekends. I offer in-home boarding. Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner. All dogs boarding must be crate trained for nightly sleep for their safety and the safety of other dogs.
“Jessica provided a great care of our cat Mimi during the 2 weeks we were gone for the trip. Jessica is very communicative, always was available for any questions or updates on Mimi’s stay with her. We also appreciated a lot that Jessica took the burden of pick up and drop off which helped us tremendously. Whenever we need help with our cat when we are away we will request a booking with Jessica in a heartbeat.”
“Amanda was great, she took such good care of Caju, and was flexible about the drop off which was really helpful for us. Amanda and her partner were very friendly, communicative and made sure Caju had a good time while he was there, they have a big fenced yard for the dogs to run around.”
“Was very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when she’s feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.”
