“Awesome dog sitter! My Toby was very well cared for and enjoyed playing with the other dogs. Lots of wonderful pictures and updates. Would definitely use again!”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs with Wanda. When we left them I heard them crying and was a bit concerned about them settling in. When we got home Wanda had texted and let us know they were setting in and sent us photos showing them relaxing. During the week we received multiple photos and updates on how it was going, which put us at ease. When we picked up the dogs they were in excellent health and very happy. We would highly recommend Wanda dog sitting services. Thank you Wanda, for taking such good care of our dogs.”
“Charity did a great job taking care of our mimi aussie doodle. He loved playing in the fenced back yard and playing with Blake. We will be using her service when ever we are back in town.”
“My dogs are my babies, and idk what i would do if anything happened to them, especially while I have to be away. Having to leave them with someone I didn't know well for the first time in 8 years was not easy. But I knew when I saw Vanessa's profile, it was the right fit. Vanessa and her family made their home a place where my dogs are at home. I have never seen my dogs adjust so well and feel so comfortable with someone they just met. If you want your pets to feel loved, protected and at home, Vanessa and her family are the best. She is a godsend and I am beyond thankful that my dogs adopted her, and she adopted them while we were away as of they were her own. She is a light and I'm so happy to be home w/ my babies again, but happy that I could trust her with them any time I need. We've and appreciate you Vanessa.”
“Lauren and Derrick were the absolute best. I felt very comfortable with them when I went to meet them for the meet and greet before my dogs stay. Their house was clean their pets were well mannered and friendly and they sent me many pictures during my dogs stay. they are true pet lovers and I would recommend them over and over. They will be my first option anytime I am looking for pet boarding.”
“I Love them… They where soo good to Starlie… They were very very patient with Starlie…. They send pictures of my daughter… we talk… and I will refer people to them…. I’m waiting to see the dates… took rebook them again… And I will be using them.. If I need an overnight… Starlie had a blast…. When I say.. VICKIE.. “My dog get excited bc she thinks she going over.. to see her now”. Starlie can’t wait to see you again…”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“I appreciate Samantha’s diligence in dealing with our last minute dilemmas. Spencer seemed to have had a lovely visit with her & Coco. He appeared happy & at ease in the pics she shared. I would certainly recommend her as a sitter of the highest quality…”
“My Bella a 8 pound Yorkie stayed with Nantikan for a few days, and she sent me text messages and pictures. I would recommend her for your dogs 🐕 stay. She was very nice and very caring. She has a huge fenced in yard, and dogs of her own.”
“Kathleen took great care of our 11 year old dog Luke! She provided us with updates and pictures daily. We felt very comfortable while away and will definitely us her for future needs.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We always had a family member watch our dog so we were nervous trusting someone else. Traci and Jeff went out of their way to make our dog feel like part of their family. Pictures were sent twice a day with a brief update. I would not hesitate to use them again. They are good people.”
“Our Remi stayed with Roseanna for the holiday weekend and I can tell she loved it through the pictures and videos she sent me. I loved and really appreciated seeing her running around and enjoying the other dogs! Remi is high energy so this was perfect for her. Remi will definitely be staying with Roseanna and her family again! Thank you for taking great care of our girl!”
“Dawn took great care of our dog and sent daily pictures of him. We felt at ease on our trip knowing our dog was being looked after by Dawn. She loves animals and it shows. Will definitely contact Dawn again for future dog care. Excellent service!”
“Melissa and Dan have helped my dog learn to play with other dogs. They send lots of great pictures every day. They take dogs for walks, and they also have a giant fenced backyard.”
“Leanne & Mark are awesome! This was my first experience using Rover. My previous dog sitter got a cat, which my Chloe is not a fan of, so I had to find another option. I found Leanne’s profile and she seemed like the perfect match for my Chloe. She made my vacation enjoyable by texting me pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Leanne and I will be booking with her again for my next trip.”
“This is our 2nd stay with Christine. She has always communicated well with us on Chewie's stay. We love that she tries to watch only 1 dog at a time to keep her focus on the care of 1. We are already booked with Christine in Sept.”
“My dog’s stay with Teresa and her family went perfectly. I was nervous dropping him off due to him having a medical issue a few days prior to drop off. Teresa was well informed about his condition and did everything to keep me at ease by providing regular updates and photos. He came home a very happy, healthy and tired pup. I can’t recommend Teresa highly enough.”
“Swapna and her family were so welcoming to our pup! We got lots of photos and updates and could tell he immediately felt at home with them. We will definitely be back!”

She kept me in the loop on everything and sent my the most gorgeous photos. I can’t wait to have her back with Phoebe again!”
About: I have had a cat for 5 years now since they were a kitten and I love them very much. I will make sure your cat gets all the love it wants (I know all cats don't always want too much love or love at all), and I know the basic necessities of taking care of cats! I have other friends who will ask me to look after their cat while I am away and I also have taken in my sister's cat to take care of for a couple years previously and she was long-haired so I have experience with long-haired cats as well

About: I have taken care of my friends pets for a few years now, either going over to their house to check on them, let them out and play with them or even taking them on walks. I currently have 3 dogs at home, and I have been taking care of them since they were puppies as well as the dogs I have had previously as well. I know how to handle small dogs and medium/large dogs, whether it comes to walks or just checking in to play with them, or let them out for the bathroom. I am currently working a part-time job, so I have all the time during the day to walk dogs and care for them. I am free anytime after 9 am. I currently have three dogs of my own at home. I play with them a lot inside the house when it gets too hot, and every few hours I let them out for the bathroom and play and tire them out, when outside, depending on how hot it is. I walk around outside with them to get some walking in up and down our driveway.

About: 🐶💛 Hi, I’m Trevon! Nice to meet you & your fur baby! Ever since I was little, I’ve loved animals with my whole heart. My very first pet — a fluffy rabbit named Gizmo joined my life when I was 10, and I’ve been surrounded by furry friends ever since! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years, including dogs, rabbits, and gerbils I happily took care of everything — feeding, cleaning their spaces, playtime, snuggles, and building real bonds A little more about me! I’ve helped friends & family groom their pets — baths + nail clipping included In 2021, I volunteered with a Petsmart cat rescue I helped clean their spaces, fed them, and made sure they felt loved and entertained My current animal family: • Rita — my sweet lionhead rabbit • Strelka — my energetic 9-month-old Manchester Terrier puppy We’re currently working on training, and I love watching her grow each day! She’s good around other dogs and people though! Animals truly bring joy into my life, and I’d be honored to take care of your pet like part of my own family I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ✨ My Daily Pet-Care Routine ✨ I currently work night shift, but I’m usually home between 6:40–7:00 AM. Morning I arrive home and feed my dog, then we play, cuddle, and bond for a few hours After a short break, she goes outside around 9:30–10:00 AM for fresh air & potty time Midday Around 12:00–12:30 PM, I feed my girls again They eat twice a day, but I’m happy to follow your dog/cat’s feeding schedule! Afternoon Another potty/play break around 2:00 PM Back outside again around 3:00 PM Evening • She’s allowed to stay out of her crate freely until about 8:00 PM, which is her cozy “bedtime” At this time I’m willing to do Client drop in , day time day care your pets will be treated like mine , grooming (only bathes & nail clipping) and dog walking.
About: I worked at a pet store and dog sat all through high school, so I’m very attentive to different pup’s needs, especially ones with dietary restrictions and other physical or mental health needs. My schedule is very open, since I’m on summer break from my regular full time job as a student :). I’m available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, well fed, and exercised! I have a lot of experience handling dogs with varied personalities and needs, so a lot of how I’ll take care of them will depend on the individual pup.
“I am so grateful for Catharine. She’s so communicative, responsible, and kind. We feel so lucky that she cares for our cat when we travel. It gives us such peace of mind. I look forward to having her come back next time.”
“Giana did a great job with our cats! She was reliable, responsive, and gave great updates. She was also super friendly and had fun with our cats. Would definitely have her sit for us again! Thank you, Giana!”
“Jessica was excellent. Gave us updates on each visit. She really made us feel our dog was in good hands. I am very happy we found her, and now have confidence to spend a day out. So grateful.”

“Trusting anyone with your pet, especially a young puppy, is always nerve wrecking. From the moment that I first spoke with Vickie I felt completely reassured that Denali was in good hands. Vickie and Heath are such kind, compassionate people and it shows in how they interact with the pets in their care. Denali is always SO EXCITED to get out of the car when she sees that we’re at their house, and comes home happy and exhausted from having so much fun. They are flexible, reliable, honest and even gave helpful tips when they noticed Denali starting to eat grass. I cannot recommend them enough for daycare/boarding!”
“Wonderful family! Daisy enjoyed staying with them. I was in a crunch trying to find a sitter and Lauren and Derek were there for us. They did a great job making my dog feel comfortable when she was initially nervous. I highly recommend!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a Labrador who was part of my family for 16 wonderful years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals from an early age. Since the age of 17, I have worked as a pet sitter caring for both dogs and cats, providing dependable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have been around animals my entire life and truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets.I treat every pet with patience, affection, and attention as if they were part of my own family. I work full-time during the week, but I work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time and care to pets staying with me. Even when I am not home, my husband is home, so there is always someone present to supervise, keep company, and care for your pets. This means your furry family members will never feel alone and will always receive attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply a calm and safe environment, I adapt to their needs and routine to make them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s home. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I work full-time but work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends. On the days I’m not home, my husband is present, so pets are never left alone and always have supervision and company. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with consistency and attention at all times.
“Vanessa was absolutely marvelous. She was so nice and very understandable. She made me feel trusted to leave my dog with her. My little guy has such a great time. He was asleep right after I picked him up. I highly recommend her. She does treat your animal with care like it was her own.”
“Davina really should be the #1 dog sitter in this area! She is amazing with my Jack. He loves going to her house, he runs right up to the door. I usually worry about Jack when I'm not with him, but I don't worry at all when he is with Davina. Contact Davina for the best dog sitting around!”
“We had a great experience with having Elias take care of our 2 dogs. It was our first time leaving them with Elias but he made us feel comfortable and kept us updated through their stay. I would definitely have them stay with him again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 12. I have taught my own dogs many tricks, take them on frequent walks, and provide lots of love! I make sure they have fresh water, food, and clean fur. I enjoy playing with small dogs gently and with care! I am a Kindergarten teacher that is currently available all summer long! I enjoy being active and keeping busy. Tending to animals has always been a passion of mine during my down time. I currently do not own any pets at the moment. When I did, I made sure to take my dogs for several walks, feed them with quality meals, change their water, and make sure their area is safe from hazardous items before leaving the house.
About: I care for pets but also humans I have been a nurse for 13 years. All the dogs play at my house. Happy happy dogs I am currently looking to destress. Semi retirement. I am available 5 to 7 days a week. This is a perfect job for me. Love dogs My yard is fenced in with a doggy door they have free roam to come in and out of their air conditioned house and heated in winter. They have fresh clean water and food. Every one is loved.
About: 🏆 20+ yrs Experience !! BIG FENCED IN YARD !! *** SPECIALIZE IN LONG STAYS *** I love and respect each animal for who they are as I do people. I am confident when caring for any pet that we will respect and understand one another, I gage their demeanor and temperament and than go from there. I keep a calm and clean (but lived in) home and I utilize my big fenced in yard to it's fullest!! I love playing catch with the dogs and the cats I let them do their thing whether it's cuddling on the couch or if they are skiddish or shy I let them be until they are comfortable enough to be approached or to approach me. I also can give baths and trim nails! Need a sitter who has a big heart and a big yard? Call me! I have a semi flexible work schedule and I'm 10 mins from my house. I pop in and out during work hours and I'm home everyday and night 24/7 Cameras inside and out to keep an eye on the woof pack!! I am diligent on our daily schedule and bc of this the pups usually seem to get it after a day or two tops. I think sticking to a regimented schedule calms them almost immediately. Once they all have there “spot” where they sleep and eat the anxiety level instantly drops a few levels for every one of them. I have a large secure fenced in yard very open for running, playing catch or Frisbee, I can brush or bath any pet for you and I also offer nail trimming. Big bowls of fresh FILTERED water inside and out changed several times a day. I am diligent on dietary restrictions. Every day i make one on one time for each and every pup, they really love and appreciate it! i totally get that they need that time especially before bed. (I tuck them all in)
“Stephanie was great! She was very warm and welcoming. She sent lots of pictures and updates to let me know how Ollie was doing! I would definitely reach out to her again!”
“Amber is absolutely awesome we just used her for the first time and will be coming back again and again she has a lovely house and is a true pet lover, our doggy was immediately at home, great communication and a fabulous human being! Highly recommended”
“Yogi had an amazing time at Swapna’s. She was always sending updates and making sure all of Yogis needs were met! We did a meet and greet before and Swapna made us feel very comfortable with dropping off Yogi! We will definitely be back!”
“Ashley did an amazing job watching our fur babies! She was very responsive and communicated the entire time. Stanley and Lola loved spending the day cuddling with her. Thanks so much Ashley!”
“Tom's place is awesome!! I work at the nearby military instillation and I was using Tom's daycare services. He was open to a meet and greet the day before I was supposed to drop off my pet which was from 7am-5pm, and he met Ollie and then showed us around a bit which made me feel much better knowing my dog was going to be kept in such clean and organized conditions. You can clearly tell how well Tom takes care of his own dogs. Everyday I used his service I could tell my dog had a great time and got to experience what walking in a pack was like. He came home exhausted each day and Tom sent great pictures and videos which made me feel better. As Tom states in his bio, if your dog is crate trained, good with other dogs and has a daily routine this is the place for you! Your dogs will love their experience at Tom's Place!”
“Elaine was great and caring. My pup always feels anxious when she is in a new environment and with new people. Elaine did her best so that Daisy felt good like at home. She took a great care of my dog. I’m very thankful for this experience and would absolutely recommend her!”
“I had 2 other pet sitters cancel on me before I found Kathleen. She was a lifesaver. She was willing to watch Gia and Ghira with little notice. She was so easy to communicate with. She sent me multiple pictures during their time at her house. I would highly recommend Kathleen. She was awesome!”
About: We own two large dogs- an Australian cattle dog/Anatolian shepherd/Hound mix, and a yellow Labrador retriever. They are very high energy and unique with lively personalities. We love to take them on bicycle rides/walks through the woods and neighborhood.

“Nicole was great! Murphy is a very energetic puppy and nicole was able to manage his energy while on walks and continue with our training regimen for him!

“Avery is amazing with our Kaya. She has a friendly, welcoming personality and goes above and beyond. She made sure Kaya had everything she needed, she showed genuine care for our dog. I'm so happy we found this Rover app and found Avery. She was our first dog walker through this app and she helped guide me through the process.

About: I have worked in various different ways with animals throughout the past 6 years. I have pet sat for family friends and used to work in a kennel where we board both cats and dogs.

I am looking to do pet sitting full time so I have as much time for your pets as I can! I make sure the pets are comfortable and happy. Just write down what your pet needs and I will make sure to follow their schedule.
About: I have taken care of my friends pets for a few years now, either going over to their house to check on them, let them out and play with them or even taking them on walks. I currently have 3 dogs at home, and I have been taking care of them since they were puppies as well as the dogs I have had previously as well. I know how to handle small dogs and medium/large dogs, whether it comes to walks or just checking in to play with them, or let them out for the bathroom. I am currently working a part-time job, so I have all the time during the day to walk dogs and care for them. I am free anytime after 9 am. I currently have three dogs of my own at home. I play with them a lot inside the house when it gets too hot, and every few hours I let them out for the bathroom and play and tire them out, when outside, depending on how hot it is. I walk around outside with them to get some walking in up and down our driveway.
About: What truly sets me apart is my professional background. As a special education teacher with seven years of experience in the classroom, patience, structure, and the ability to adapt to individual needs are woven into everything I do. I bring that exact same mindset to pet care. I understand that every animal learns and communicates differently, and I excel at reading body language and adjusting my approach to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and comfortable. Alongside having pets my entire life, I have spent the last 8 years providing dedicated pet care for family members and neighbors. Because of my teaching background, I am highly reliable when it comes to maintaining strict daily routines. This makes me particularly well-equipped to handle the unique needs of different life stages: Senior Care: I am incredibly patient and comfortable maintaining the slow, gentle pacing and strict medication or dietary schedules that senior pets often require to thrive in their golden years. Puppy Care & Training: I thrive on consistency and positive reinforcement. I am highly capable of maintaining the firm but gentle boundaries, frequent potty breaks, and structured play that young pets need while they are still learning their manners. Whether your pet needs quiet, gentle companionship or structured, engaging play, I have the experience, reliability, and heart to provide care that is perfectly tailored to them. I believe in complete transparency regarding my schedule so you know exactly when your pet is receiving my undivided attention: Summer Hours (Now – August): I am currently working a shorter schedule and am fully available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime every day after 1:30 PM. Fall Hours (Starting in September): I will be working my regular full-time schedule until 4:00 PM. However, my evenings will be completely open and dedicated to after-work walks, dinner routines, and evening companionship! I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with the highest level of care! I know firsthand that leaving your furry family members can be stressful. My goal is to provide a safe, engaging, and loving environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I treat every animal in my care with the exact same affection and attentiveness I give my own. My Experience I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, intuitive understanding of the daily care, patience, and affection animals require. For the past 8 years, I have been the trusted, go-to pet sitter for my neighbors and extended family. This hands-on experience has taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, respect established household rules, and quickly recognize when a pet might be feeling anxious. As a special education teacher, patience, compassion, and structure are at the core of who I am—and I bring those same qualities into how I care for your pets.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, small mammals, and other exotic pets for more than 35 years. I have experience with raising puppies and kittens to caring for senior pets. My summer schedule is very flexible, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests. Whether your pet needs a quick walk or regular visits, I'm happy to help. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I take the time to learn your pet's routine and preferences so I can ensure a happy and loving experience while you are away.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, reliability, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their individual needs and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient with young pets who are still learning and gentle with senior pets who may need extra time, medication, or special accommodations. I communicate regularly with pet owners by providing updates and photos, so they have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the highest level of care and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any medications they may need. I enjoy spending time with animals and make their comfort and well-being a priority. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, weekends, or regular check-ins throughout the day, I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, receive regular potty breaks, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also administer medications if instructed, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and keep the environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I respect each client’s home by keeping it tidy, following all care instructions, and providing updates with photos and messages so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

I can’t recommend Teresa highly enough.”

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, I've been a pet owner for over 15 years and have cared for both dogs and cats throughout that time. I have also had the pleasure of caring for our neighbors' pets, and we currently share our home with two friendly, well-loved cats. What sets my home apart is the personalized, one-on-one care I provide. I am the sole caregiver responsible for every aspect of your dog's stay, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering medication (if needed), and providing individualized attention. I only host one family's dog(s) at a time, so your pup will receive my full attention in a comfortable environment. This is a family household where my husband and I live with our four children (ages 8, 5, and 2-year-old twins). The children are always supervised around visiting pets, and I remain the only person responsible for your dog's care. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're being treated with the same love and care we'd want for our own pets. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home two days each week and structure my schedule to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. On the other three days, your dog will be let out in the morning and walked if time allows. I get back to the house around 5pm and will resume caring for your dog like they are my own. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only host one family's dog(s) at a time to provide a low-stress environment. Dogs are welcome on the furniture if that's what they're used to at home, and I'll do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a family household, young children will be present, but I am the sole caregiver responsible for all pet care and supervision throughout your dog's stay.
“Sara was great at watching our golden Loki!! She sent us daily pictures while we were away. Her dogs were also extremely friendly and playful with Loki, which we loved knowing that he was playing with other dogs and getting exercise the whole time. Would highly recommend using her to watch your dogs in the future.”
“Anish was absolutely amazing with our dog Max. Having being a long term dog owner, he knew all about how to handle our dog Max . I felt at ease from the time Max was dropped off till the time we picked Max up. Anish took the extra effort to make sure Max was taken for walks even in the pouring rain, and give him plenty of exercise and company. Max returned home happy, rested & well exercised. I highly recommend Anish to take care of your pet, its their home away from home.”
“Would give 10 ⭐'s if I could! This is the first time we left our Buddy (4 year old black lab) for an extended trip, so we were extremely nervous. Katie and her husband were great! They communicated often, and when I reached out to them, they never made me feel like I was a bother. All of our requests were respected, and they sent pics and videos through the stay .Buddy got plenty of attention, lots of fetch, and loved having their friendly dogs Todd and Mason to play with . I highly recommend- they know what they are doing, and I will not hesitate to request them again!”
“Gerry watched our 5 month old Maltipoo puppy Rocket this evening. He had a blast playing with her. Gerry sent us a bunch of updates and photos throughout the evening. She is very responsive, personable, clearly loves dogs and knows how to watch them. We will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”
