“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“Exceptional service from Monica as always. My Teddy boy knows his second home and her family. Couldn’t have chosen a better place and person to trust with my furry baby. Monica is absolutely fantastic.”
“Thank you so much for caring for Hershey. We enjoyed seeing the photos and videos. I forgot her bowls and they had some available 🙌🏼 I appreciate it. Thank you !”
“Karma loved her stay and I feel it is her little vacation too. Know she is taken care of and spoiled. Always love seeing the pictures of her enjoying herself and updates daily.”
“Elaine was great with my pup Nugget. She sent daily pictures and updated me each evening about Nugget's day. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur baby was in such good hands. Will definitely book Elaine again!”
“I genuinely do not have words for how amazing Shantell and Jose were with our puppy. So beyond communicative, sent so many pictures and videos and not only through that but once we got home we could tell she had the time of her life. I couldn't recommend Shantell more - if you have the opportunity, BOOK HER. We never once had a single doubt about our dog's safety and happiness. Thank you Shantell and Jose!!!!!”
“Ana did a great job taking care of our pups! We were a little nervous because it was our first time using the service but she made it easy and kept us updated with messages and pictures!”
“Leila did a great job taking care of both my dogs. She had extra toys for them to play with as well as extra dog beds for afternoon naps. My dogs had humans to snuggle at night. Leila walked them in the morning and we received pictures every day. Great fenced in backyard. We will use again”
“Scotty was fantastic with my dog Chloe and he made the whole process really easy. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he watches. I especially appreciated that he even came to pick up my dog, which was a huge help. I’d definitely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to others.”
“Emily was amazing! She was so quick to respond from first inquiry and throughout our stay. She was also extremely flexible and transparent. She treated Lola like one of her own dogs and ensured that she fit into their family while she stayed with them. It was so reassuring to know that Lola was happy and loved the entire time we were away. We greatly appreciated Emily and Lola will definitely be back to visit her friends in the future!”
“Nicolas and Renee are incredibly wonderful. They made Louie feel right at home and at ease, which is important since it’s our first time leaving him. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They kept us updated daily with pictures and took excellent care of him. When we picked him up, he smelled great. They’re truly the best. I highly recommend their family to anyone looking for a quality, safe, and reliable place for their pet.”
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”
“Ivy took wonderful care of my energetic, large breed, 1 year old puppy. She sent TONS of photos and updates. He was so happy there- he hardly wanted to come home 🤣 Her dog is a great playmate for other pups, too. ❤️”
“I highly recommend Laurie for dog sitting! She took excellent care of my dog, showing great attention and affection. Laurie was reliable and responsible, and she kept me updated with photos and messages, making me feel at ease. My dog came home happy and well cared for. Thank you, Laurie, for your outstanding service!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sharon. She’s an amazingly, caring woman who took exceptional care of Pia, my 14 year-old Shih Tzu in her home. And I encourage anyone else who wants a dog sitter - who takes small dogs, only one at a time, and is genuinely interested & attentive to your fur baby’s needs - book with Sharon. Highly recommend. I already have another trip planned, & Pia will be with Sharon in her lovely ranch home & fenced yard!”
“Trista was great! She was a great communicator and provided amazing care for my pup! He looked so happy in the photos and videos and a fenced in yard is a big win for him! Would happily send my pup back to Trista again!”

“We had such a great experience! Our request was very last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She even came by before our trip to go over everything, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was so kind, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. She not only took great care of our cats, but was also able to check on our chickens, which we really appreciated. It made being away so much easier knowing all of our animals were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was born. I love how no two pets are the same. I treat every pet like they’re my own fur babies.

About: I've always wanted a cat of my own, but unfortunately my family is allergic. Even though I haven't been able to have one at home, I've always loved being around cats and have taken the time to learn how to properly care for them. I understand the importance of keeping litter boxes clean, providing fresh food and water, respecting each cat's unique personality, and giving them attention on their own terms. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I'll give them plenty of affection (if they want it!), keep their routine consistent, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I know that every cat is different, and I'll always care for yours with the same patience, respect, and love I'd give my own if I were lucky enough to have one.
“Lauren was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! She took care of Tilly our “spicy” and sometimes difficult cat with ease. She always sent us photos and was very communicative. I will definitely hire her again when needed and would highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, including my own Pekingese and my family members dogs. Every dog to me are babies no matter how big or small they are.

I’m currently back from college and I have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I currently am looking for a part-time job which still leaves me with a lot of time to look after your pups. I have one friendly Pekingese, who can keep your dog company if needed. I will always make sure to clean up after the pups. I will always leave your home the same way it was when I arrived
About: My life has revolved around cat since I was born. I may have been called a "crazy cat lady" before. I am skilled in administering medications such as liquids and pills. I will take special care of your kitties as if they're one of mine.
“Thalia accepted my reservation right before we had to leave for a trip and my cat needed medication to be given 2x a day. Thalia took care of it no problem, sent me photos where I could see how the eye was looking and made me feel at ease. My cat was so happy, healthy and well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend”
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and with experience caring for multiple cats of my own, I understand how important patience, gentleness, and routine are for them. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or affectionate, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From feeding and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I’ll care for your cat like they’re part of my own family.
“Many truly went above and beyond while caring for my cat. She sent me regular updates and pictures and even took time to play my cat's favorite game while I was gone. The temperatures in Seattle rose to dangerous levels in my absence. Mandy eased my anxiety by checking the heat level on the back of my cat's ear to make sure she wasn't overheating. I didn't know about this tactic beforehand and am grateful I could learn from her. It was a comfort knowing my cat was in such good hands.”
“Ashley is a wonderful pet sitter; both dependable and trustworthy. You can tell she loves animals, spending time during visits not just feeding them, but actually giving the pets love and attention. During my time away, she kept me up to date on the cats' status and sent a lot of photos of the cats being cared for.”

As a special needs dog mom, I understand the importance of quality care and would provide nothing but the best for your pet!

“Maggie had a great time at Scott’s. We felt very comfortable leaving Maggie with Scott and when we returned to pick her up we could tell that she liked him and was comfortable there. She will definitely be visiting again.”

“Seb took excellent care of our dog. We were in the area for our son's wedding and wanted a safe and fun place for our dog. Seb went above and beyond. He was incredibly helpful and responsive prior to our dog's stay. He took excellent care of our baby while we were away. She had lots of activity and friendly dogs to play with. The pictures Seb sent during her stay kept my mind at ease. I highly recommend Seb. He is excellent with dogs and a genuinely kind and lovely person.”
About: My name is Monica. I have taken care of pets for over 29 years. I currently have 3 cats both neutered. One is a senior 15 yrs old, then there is 7 yrs and 1 yr. They keep to themselves. Over the years many dogs and cats have came and went each showing their individuality. Each pet has a need which will be met according to your standards. If you book me for a Board or even a day stay I promise to have you and your furry friend 100% satisfied. I can also walk them,and do drop bys. Your pet will always have someone around in my home(if they like children). It can be hard to find someone as trustworthy as it is for me. They are just as much children and finding the right person takes time. I'm willing to show I am trustworthy And will treat them as my own. I have 3 floors,so if any pets I care for needs personal space I can accommodate. We also have a spare room where they can relax. Due to health I can only take dogs up to 18 lbs. Please note my drop-off and pickup fee is for within a 15 mile radius. If you need pickup outside that range higher fees apply. I'm a stay at home mom who works from home. I am flexible. Other then appointments and cooking. I'm usually available during the week and most weekends. My house has unfenced yard I have 2 floors,so if any pets I care for needs personal space I can accommodate. We also have a spare room where they can relax.
About: Like most I have had dogs my entire life but my last soul mate of 16 years died a year ago and I cannot bring myself to get another dog. That being said, we love animals in this household and want them around all the time...I think you get it. My other job is a professional nature photographer so not only will you get amazing photos of your dog, I can bring them with me on my assignments if you like. Like I said in my experience, my other job is a professional photographer giving me hours and hours at my house editing my work. Also, my partner Julie is a yoga teacher who works for herself so there is always someone home. The most important thing is that it is your dog, your rules. We have the most inviting back yard but it is not fenced, however, our house is in a rural community with great neighbors. Your dog will never be off a leash if that is your wish.
“Scotty was great with Nola! It was a last-minute booking and despite the snow falling, he met us outside. Showcased the area Nola would be, and sent pictures of her comfortable! He was super friendly and accommodating for us, and Nola really loved her time with him!”
“Emily is wonderful. I had my first puppy for less than 1 month when my work schedule demanded that I work a Saturday all day and night. I found Emily on Rover.com and trusted my instinct that she would be a great puppy sitter, for my puppy ...and for me. Before finding Emily I feared I'd spend 9 hours worried about my dog, and the day/ night would drag on feeling like forever. Thanks to Emily I had no worries whatsoever! I loved seeing the photos and video she sent, further boosting my confidence my dog was happy, healthy, safe and in the best of care. Please if you are seeking any services for dog sitting/ care, know that Emily and her household (her dogs, animals, and husband) are trustworthy, responsible, and the best! This coming from an over anxious first time puppy owner who was a complete stranger to Emily before luckily finding her on this website. I decided on utilizing Emily over friends/ family because of her knowledge and experience. Im so glad I did, it was the best choice. Thanks so much Emily, and I'll 100% be reaching out for future puppy care again! :)”

I also live on a private lane and have many safe quiet roads to take pets for walks.
“Our Gabby is a 16 year old toy poodle who does not usually take well to new people. I couldn’t believe it when we first me Janny, Gabby warmed up to her right away. It was so good to see and a relief to know that Gabby would be comfortable and happy after I left her. Janny is a personable young woman with a big heart. This was a trial run for us, it’s been hard finding just the right place for Gabby. We are so happy that we’ve found Janny, now we can move forward with our travel plans.🙂”
“I am super grateful that Porkchop was able to stay with Estefania. He had a blast! She was very sweet and sent tons of videos so I got to see my boy having a fun time. I know he was in great hands.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Delaware
About: I’ve always had pets as a kid, and the same as an adult! It’s a privilege to be able to care for my own “babies” and others ❤️ I have two cats and a dog, so my days are quite pet-oriented. The cats need a little less care than my dog, but they all get loved equally 🥰 I treat my animals extremely well, and other pets I treat like my own! All animals are important to love and care for, big or small 😇
About: I have cared for pets ranging from a sleepy older cat to the more energetic dog. I am able to give medications and/or take your pet to the vet when needed. I love playing with dogs and cats to ensure that they get the socialization they need. I can personalize the care given to your pet, just let me know what you need! I work from home so am available to tend to your pet as often as needed. I am available all day to care for your pet(s). I will arrange my time around your pet's schedule as I only accept one pet (or two/three pets if they are part of the same family) at a time. I live on a large farm and will be able to take your pet for long walks if they are boarding or needing day care. I also have access to a fenced in area of the yard so that your pet can run around safely. I also have a friendly cat that warms up to other cats and dogs after a short getting to know you period.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was born. I love how no two pets are the same. I treat every pet like they’re my own fur babies. I have many years of experience in both small and large animal care. I work as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable giving your fur baby daily medication if needed.

“If you’re looking for a extremely reliable, Dog walker, Julienne is the one! Always arrives on time very trustworthy. I highly recommend her if you need someone to come let your dog out here and there.”
About: I’m lucky enough to have an open schedule, which means your pet will get my full, undivided attention without being left alone for long stretches of time. I’ve taken care of a little bit of everything - dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs - so I’m really comfortable adapting to whatever unique routine your animal needs. My love playing with animals, chilling with them, and just watching them do what they do. One of my biggest strengths is working with pets who are on the shy or anxious side. I know how stressful it can be for them when their owners are away, so I’m incredibly patient. I know how to read their body language, give them the space they need, and just let them open up to me at their own pace until they feel completely safe. I am currently on summer break from college and take care of my own dogs at home. I make sure to give them everything they need from walks to play to just sitting around together. My main priority is keeping a constant eye on your pet and sticking as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm staying at your place or visiting, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, which really helps prevent separation anxiety. While I'm in a client's home, I will treat it with total respect and keep everything secure. I will make sure that all doors and gates are locked securely every time I leave your home, and I always keep dogs on a leash during walks. Because I have experience with everything from energetic dogs and cats to smaller pets like guinea pigs, I’m very aware of safety and choking hazards, like making sure small items or dangerous foods are out of reach.
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind from old to young since I was little. I have watched family dogs, and friends dogs both in the comfort of my own home and gone to spend the night at their houses. I’ve also trained my own dogs throughout the years, including potty training, simple commands, and crate training. I am currently working part-time at my job and stay home with my son. I am mainly home except for the weekends. And on the weekends, my husband will be home to help out. I have a fenced in yard and currently only have one dog of my own who is super friendly and very energetic so she will exercise your dog in our front yard. She loves to cuddle and she is crate trained. I also have an extra crate in case dogs need to be created for whatever reason.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every breed, size, and energy level—from anxious rescues to giant goofballs. As a current volunteer at ACCT Philly, I work hands-on with all types of dogs daily, focusing on leash control, confidence-building, and reading body language. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me for overnight stays, multi-dog households, and high-energy pups because I stay calm, structured, and patient no matter what. I’m comfortable with puppy routines, senior care, and special diets, and I always make sure every dog gets the perfect mix of play, structure, and comfort. Whether it’s a jog around the block, a slow senior stroll, or bedtime snuggles—I tailor my care to your dog’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible for walks, drop-ins, or overnights, and I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and care. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evening cuddles, I’ll build my day around your pet’s routine. Safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure space to relax and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, medications, and boundaries—so they feel right at home. I keep a close eye on body language and behavior to ensure they’re happy and stress-free, and I always send photo updates so you can see how well they’re doing. Whether it’s cats curling up for quiet time or dogs burning off energy, I create a safe, loving environment built on trust.
“Brittney truly is the best! Extremely reliable and flexible. I've had to switch on her so many times because of my schedule and she's always so accommodating. Super plus is that the dogs love her. Any instructions I send her she follows with no hesitation. Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. Thanks Brittney for always keeping me at ease.”

“Genuinely cannot give anything but the highest recommendations. We needed a dog walker unexpectedly on New Year's Eve, and Lauren not only responded to the booking request quickly, she accepted it even though she's never had us as clients or even met us. Her communication is clear, quick, helpful and even though I was a little scattered during the handoff she handled everything professionally and with flexibility. Seriously couldn't have had a better experience.”
About: I have always had a dog in my life for 20 years, and it makes me so happy! I love meeting new dogs and being able to play and care for them. I’m currently working part-time while also taking summer college courses, but have some extra time that I would love to dedicate to a loving dog! I like to take my own dog on walks (even though he chooses the path) and love to give him baths. I’ve taken care of other dogs before through friends.
About: 've been a dog owner for over 10 years and currently have three dogs and a cat, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life.

Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, or just have some company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Caring for my own three dogs and cat has made pet care a natural part of my day. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship to ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for! The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, needs, and preferences so they can feel secure while away from their owner. In both my home and a client's home, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment. I closely supervise pets, follow all care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is to treat every pet like they're part of my own family. 🐾❤️

“It’s obvious from the minute you communicate with Thalia she loves animals. She even works for a shelter to help animals in need. Thalia was dependable, a great communicator & very conscientious. I was gone both times can’t wait to meet her!”
About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and have always helped take care of them. From cats to dogs to birds to hamsters, I have experience with them all. Schedule with me to make sure your pets are safe and cared for. I have a pretty open schedule as I do most of my side work from home. Let me know what works for you and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I treat my clients home with the upmost respect. I’ll follow your instructions to the letter to make sure you get what you are asking for.
“It was my first time using the Rover app. Ashley walked my pup and was well acquainted with all 3 of my doggies. Ashley is so kind and very knowledgeable. I've grown especially fond of Ashley because she is sincere, caring, and above all, outgoing. Thank you so much!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs. I currently care for three dogs of my own, including a senior dog who requires extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also cared for my previous dog throughout his battle with epilepsy. Administering his medication on schedule and staying with him during and after his seizures taught me how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate during stressful situations. Because of these experiences, I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra attention to animals with special needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, affection, playtime, and reliable care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Since I am a Nursing Student at ESU, my daily schedule is jam-packed with classes. However, my evenings are usually relatively open and I am always open to overnight sitting! I love animals with all my heart and spending time with different personalities is really special to me. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. In my client's home, I make it a priority to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, going on walks or playing as needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'm also happy to administer oral medications and provide extra care for senior pets or those with special needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I currently care for three dogs, including a senior dog, and I previously cared for my epileptic dog, ensuring he received his medication on time and staying by his side whenever he experienced a seizure. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in unexpected situations. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll adapt to their individual personality and needs. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

I am a stay at home mom so my availability is fairly flexible for me to have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I don't have a fenced in yard but have a lot of property to walk and explore giving plenty of exercise! I can also travel to your home and spend time with your pet in the comfort of their own home.

“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“Thank you so much for caring for Hershey. We enjoyed seeing the photos and videos. I forgot her bowls and they had some available 🙌🏼 I appreciate it. Thank you !”
“I genuinely do not have words for how amazing Shantell and Jose were with our puppy. So beyond communicative, sent so many pictures and videos and not only through that but once we got home we could tell she had the time of her life. I couldn't recommend Shantell more - if you have the opportunity, BOOK HER. We never once had a single doubt about our dog's safety and happiness. Thank you Shantell and Jose!!!!!”
“Ana did a great job taking care of our pups! We were a little nervous because it was our first time using the service but she made it easy and kept us updated with messages and pictures!”
“Scotty was fantastic with my dog Chloe and he made the whole process really easy. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he watches. I especially appreciated that he even came to pick up my dog, which was a huge help. I’d definitely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to others.”
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”

“Trista was great! She was a great communicator and provided amazing care for my pup! He looked so happy in the photos and videos and a fenced in yard is a big win for him! Would happily send my pup back to Trista again!”

“Chris was great with my dogs, Moose & Pac! He shared daily updates with photos, which was greatly appreciated! His fenced in backyard was a major plus for us, and his dog, bunker, was great with my large breed dogs. We will gladly be going back to Chris for any future dog sitting needs!!”

“Deb is the absolute best. She had an instant bond with Romeo and is super sweet and compassionate. Romeo’s week just got better with play time, trail walks, retrieving and swimming.
