“Bri has been wonderful with our pup, both for a daytime stay and a week long stay. She has a great setup and separates small and bigger dogs so everyone gets time outside and gets along. Our dog always comes home happy and tired from her adventures!”
“As always Leah is the BEST and the only one I trust with my pup! Every time he comes home he’s exhausted from having so much fun. Leah sends me lots of photos and videos throughout his stay so I can see him. Thank you Leah!”
“Monica kept Henry for a long weekend and, as always, was excellent with him. Monica has a very active house and manages to keep up with everything while making it look easy. Henry is always well taken care of when he’s with Monica and her family. I would not hesitate to recommend Monica.”
“We're thrilled that we found Meg to watch our anxious pup. We have a dog who is scared of everything. In the past, he didn't do well when we used a pet hotel/group care environment for vacations so we needed to find a sitter who watches one dog at a time. He was in compassionate, caring hands with Meg. She responds very quickly to questions and messages. I trust Meg and highly recommend her to care for your pup!”
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.
“Lauren did a great job with Bruno! I can tell he enjoyed his stay very much! She sent photos and gave us updates on how he was doing. Bruno will definitely be back! Thanks again!”
“David did a wonderful job watching my pup! He sent pictures of her everyday along with updates. She seemed very happy when we saw her afterwards. I’d trust him with her again!”
“Marisa was so great! I felt completely at ease while i was away knowing Snickers was well taken care of. Marisa sent pictures everyday and was easy to contact. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her. Thanks Marisa!”
“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.”
“Melissa had great communication and Georgie came home happy! We coordinate pickup and drop off times and my mother was doing the pickups and a first time rover-er and everything went great! Already booked with Melissa again!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Nazli did a great job watching our cat, Stitch! We needed a sitter who would be able to keep a close eye on him last minute while we were gone for a weekend trip since our cat was recovering from a recent surgery. Nazli was very responsive and accommodating! We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. We would be happy to have Nazli watch our cat again!”
“Jeff and family took great care of our girl while we went away for our wedding and honeymoon. He kept us updated with photos throughout the trip and even face timed with us so we could say hi to her. If ever have to go away again we will definitely book him. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches and anyone should feel lucky to use his services. Thank you Jeff and your household for taking such great care of Nymeria!”
“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!”
“Amazing sitter. She took such good care of my older dog over the holidays and kept me updated on how he was doing. If I wasn't moving across the country I would definitely book Cindy 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.”
“I love going to Sheree to care for my dog. She is patient and very loving with my pup. She was even kind enough to drop my girl off to me when we were unable to pick her up on time. I can't recommend Sheree enough”
“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were nervous about leaving our boys for a couple days but we had to rip off the bandaid some day and I'm so glad we did. Felix and fam have a keen understanding of dogs and their behaviors and gave a full report when we picked them up.”

About: In 2025 I cared for my brothers cat for the first time. She stayed with me for 4 months. During this time I learned how smart, energetic, and mischievous cats are. I respect cats and their territory. With this being said I understand how stressful new people and sents can be for cats. This is why when working with them I am patient and observative. I found that explaining what I am doing in their space helps. whether it's clearing the litter box or getting them food and water. I acknowledge their presence, and if playful, I will play with them if uncomfortable. I will give them their space. I will allow them the time and distance they need to decision to approach me.
“Savannah took such good care of our cat! It was our first vacation since we got him and we were a little nervous because he can be anxious. Savannah sent lots of cute updates, pictures, and videos so I knew he was happy at home!”
“Sharon was great ! My kitty was comfortable, well cared for, and I appreciated the thoughtful updates. It gave me peace of mind while I was away. Would absolutely book again! 😺”
“Davene is a wonderful cat sitter! She just took care of my three kitties over Thanksgiving. I appreciated how quick she was to respond to my request and her offer of an initial visit to meet the cats and get our instructions in person. She was very gentle and sweet with the kitties, and I could tell that they really liked her. Davene followed all instructions and left the place neat and clean. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”
“We have a great experience every time! It’s so nice to get updates while we’re away and know we’re coming home to a cat that’s been well cared for and who’s gotten some love and attention! Highly recommend”
“Grace is a wonderful sitter. I never have to worry while I’m away at work! She’s reliable, asks questions when needed, and always ensures both of my pups are properly taken care of.”
“Jessica was wonderful! I had a sitter cancel on me last minute before needing to leave town for the weekend, so I had to find a new sitter fast. Jessica responded immediately after sending a request and agreed to take care of my cat Liam for the weekend. She was very friendly and attentive to Liam’s needs, and I came home to a happy and healthy kitty. Thank you again!!”
“Alicia was prompt and did a great job on giving my cat Nugget his medication. It was great to get the daily pictures and updates as well. Will be using her services in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my family for years. But I’m looking to branch out and help others who need help as well! I’m a college student trying to get by and am willing to help out as much as I can! I currently work 2 jobs babysitting 2 times a week in mornings, and in the mall usually nights. But I’m still flexible enough to fit an animal or two in! I will play and take care of your pet as if it’s my own! I will stick to regular routines (if i’m told there’s any) and will try my hardest to keep them happy!

About: Cats have been a part of my whole life. I have experience with multi cat homes as well as single cat homes. I have had cats who are very friendly and some that are a little spicy, any and all cats are fun to care for.
About: I just recently lost my cat Mia. She would have been 19yrs old in December. It is the longest living cat I have ever owned. I come from a cat family. I have had cats my whole life. I know how to love them, take care of them and even give them meds. My most recent cat had asthma so I had to give her an inhaler every single day 2x a day for 10 years. I don't shy away from taking care of animals that have a few health issues. I love cats at every age from kittens to elderly. Because I lost my cat recently, and I am not ready to get a new one, I would love to take care of yours. It's just me and my 2.5yr old son (who is also a cat lover) and we would be honored to take care of your cat like our beloved Mia. Thank you for considering us.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with my cats. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she treated my cats with patience, love, and care as if they were her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”

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. We both have experience with dogs- John dog-sat as a child and has had family dogs as well, and I grew up on a farm with 10-15 inside/outside dogs all my life as well as many other animals. We have a big back yard that is fenced in, we also live next to a big state park that is loads of fun for any animal! Our entire family and our friends also have dogs, so when we all get together we usually have about 12-14 dogs all together at once running around playing and having fun! We would love to be able to help others who own dogs and have a busy schedule live life while knowing their beloved pet is well taken care of!
“Spencer spent a trial day with Debbie. He was well taken care of. Her dog, Charlie, seems to be good for Spencer too. Appreciated the photo, update, and reassurance that the day was going well. Will be using Debbie again in the near future and feel comfortable leaving Spencer in her care.”
“Leah is amazing at what she does and my dog was incredibly comfortable at her new daycare! She knows when we are nearing Leah’s home and she starts to get super excited!”

“Felix is truly amazing. Our dog is a sweet dog, but due to her old age, she needs to follow a regular medication schedule and doesn't enjoy being around other dogs. Taking her for a walk is also not easy. However, Felix takes such good care of her that I don't hesitate to leave her with Felix whenever I need to go somewhere. Felix always responds quickly and I always feel that she takes good care of my dog! Our dog gets along well with Felix's family and enjoys being with them, and we intend to continue trusting out dog to Felix in the future :)”
“Achilles is a very high energy kind of dog; you have to be great to handle him! Jovani did exceptionally well with him. What made my heart smile is the way Achilles ran towards his door and also jumped for joy when I dropped him both days! Achilles is a very smart dog; if you are bad with him, he runs away from you but if you are good with him, he'll be all over you any time he sets his eyes on you! Trust me, your dog will have a great time with Jovani! I am so happy Achilles has a second home where he is loved & taken care of! I would have given a 10 star rating if there was one!!!”

About: I only sit 1 dog at a time (unless from the same family). I lost my dog after 14 years so I am very experienced. Perfect home for those dogs who are unpredictable with other dogs or small children. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR DOGS THAT HAVE ANY POTENTIAL AGGRESSION TOWARDS PEOPLE. Your dog must be house trained. I am for the most part home and available while caring for your dog. The most I may leave them alone is one hour, only if necessary. I only sit one dog at a time (unless from same owner) to avoid any dog skirmishes. I usually feed and take your dog out at 7am. We go for a 30 min walk around 11am. Thereafter there are multiple potty breaks in the backyard on a lead. Last potty break is around 9-10pm. They are welcome to sleep with me in my bed if they are clean.

“Jennifer was great to leave our puppy with. We had to find someone to watch him the night before and she was available and was quick to respond! He came home with no issues and had a great time with her cat. She kept us up to date with pictures and videos of how he was doing. I would definitely recommend leaving your dog with Jennifer!”
About: My two fur babies lived for 15 and 16 years. Since then, I’ve decided to love my friends and families animal's, spoil them and then give them back! They will be in great hands and receive lots of love until you return home! I work full time from home and enjoy going out for walks throughout the day. I love company of my four legged friends when doing so. I am happy to come to your house after the work day and go for a walk in your neighborhood also! Or if they just like company during the day, they can always come here! My 18 year old son also loves pets as we both miss ours very much! However, as he takes college classes and I work full-time we like the freedom that Rover has to offer while still having the opportunity to help our “neighbors” and getting our pet fix! Your animals will always be on a leash while outside and are very safe in our home.
“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!”
“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”

About: Over the years I've cared for the pets of family friends and relatives. From taking pups on walks & play session to drop ins for cats. Making sure I'm following dietary need for each pet. Getting to know the different personalities of each animal I come across is my passion. In my childhood home I was able to experience caring for puppies until they became elderly. Though most of my experience is with pits. I was blessed to care for a doodle mix & a shih Tzu in their last years. I respect all animals and their space. I currently work full-time 3 days a week with 4 day available to care for your furbabies. Saturday- Monday is my work schedule. Tuesday-Friday I am up by 7am cleaning my home or visiting my parents. By 12pm the rest of my day is free. I can do evening drop ins (after 5pm) or overnight stays on the days I work (leave by 4am). Am very flexible during the week. If you're in need of a sitter/ care giver for family or business trips. In my home or the client's home I will follow the set schedule the clients have for their pets. My home has a fenced in backyard where I can take elderly or less fit pups to play and potty. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood where I can take your pup on walks. I do require a harness and leash set per pet with a portable water bowl to keep them hydrated on walks. A breakdown of allergies or sensitivities each pet has. As well as a bed or crate for them to sleep in overnight. At the client's house I would like to do a walk through of the property and learn the habits of their pet. This will give me an understanding of how to properly care for each individual pet in and outside of the home.

Gabby is experienced, bright and caring. She is reliable and trustworthy . Do Yourselves a favor and hire this amazing, professional woman.”
“Alicia is always very reliable in her walking schedule with Toffee. She communicates with me on every walk and lets me know of any issues. I highly recommend her dog walking services and will rebook with her whenever I am out of town. She is great with dogs and cats!!🙏👌”
“Debbie is remarkable! Her love for my pup Charlie is a constant, and it shows in every interaction they have. Charlie absolutely adores her and gets so excited whenever she arrives. Debbie is dependable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie is happy, safe, and well cared for. She gives me complete peace of mind knowing he's in such loving and capable hands. I couldn't ask for a better dog walker, and I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”

About: Active on rover since 2018 and couldn't ask for a better scenario... we have had the ability to love so many different types of doggies from puppies to older dogs all different personalities all the time! At one point we had 3 puppies at the same time!!! Which was amazing and watching how the puppies grow and change is amazing. We have met so many families and cherish all of them... can't wait for the next years to come! *My dog experience goes back as far as my entire childhood. There was always a dog in the family when growing up. While in college I dog sat for up to 11 dogs at a time and 4 slept in bed with me. Medication administering, grooming, walking, cuddling and even diaper changing was also involved. I love animals especially dogs, its a fabulous way to enjoy pets and all different breeds and personalities at the same time. I am available most days of the week and of course weekends! I can't wait to introduce your furry family members to mine. Scheduling allows our family to provide care and companionship for your furry family around the clock, flexible pick up and drop off times as well. With around the clock supervision pups are safe and entertained throughout their stay day and night inside and outside with a gated fenced in yard.
“For having a literal herd (4 dogs) Michael walks them three times a week and spends quality time getting to know each one to make sure they get their energy out. I would recommend him for all your pet care needs.”

“As always Leah is the BEST and the only one I trust with my pup! Every time he comes home he’s exhausted from having so much fun. Leah sends me lots of photos and videos throughout his stay so I can see him. Thank you Leah!”
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.
“David did a wonderful job watching my pup! He sent pictures of her everyday along with updates. She seemed very happy when we saw her afterwards. I’d trust him with her again!”
“Marisa was so great! I felt completely at ease while i was away knowing Snickers was well taken care of. Marisa sent pictures everyday and was easy to contact. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her. Thanks Marisa!”
“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.”
“Melissa had great communication and Georgie came home happy! We coordinate pickup and drop off times and my mother was doing the pickups and a first time rover-er and everything went great! Already booked with Melissa again!”
“Jeff and family took great care of our girl while we went away for our wedding and honeymoon. He kept us updated with photos throughout the trip and even face timed with us so we could say hi to her. If ever have to go away again we will definitely book him. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches and anyone should feel lucky to use his services. Thank you Jeff and your household for taking such great care of Nymeria!”
“Amazing sitter. She took such good care of my older dog over the holidays and kept me updated on how he was doing. If I wasn't moving across the country I would definitely book Cindy again.”
“Absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were nervous about leaving our boys for a couple days but we had to rip off the bandaid some day and I'm so glad we did. Felix and fam have a keen understanding of dogs and their behaviors and gave a full report when we picked them up.”
“Eliana took such great care of our 5 month old chihuahua/chiweenie puppy while we were in town visiting the area. Our sweet pup felt safe, secure and cared for at her home and received loads of attention! We received numerous updates and photos that certainly reassured us our pet was happy and well while we were away. Highly recommend!!!”
“Milissa is so communicative! Always sending updated & pictures which makes us feel so comfortable leaving Louie in her care. We will continue to rebook with her!!”
“John and Nicole took such great care of Milo. I was very nervous leaving him alone for the first time and John made us feel at ease that Milo would be taken care of. We got daily updates and photos. Milo even made some friends. I hope to use their service again in the future.”
“Denise was great with my dog. It’s very hard to be able to trust someone with your pet when they’re considered family. But Denise took great care of my dog for 12 days . I would highly recommend her. She updated me with pics and news everyday.”
About: My love for dogs is endless. I've been involved in dog rescue for over 12 years. The fun dogs, the shy dogs, the dogs with no direction and the perfect dogs, dogs of all ages. A very quiet home with playtime if they want it or quiet time that they need. I provide lots of enrichment and a full secure yard where they can run and play, or just sun bathe. I have been dog sitting for years and I've also been a part of a dog rescue where I've seen everything. Each one of our family members deserves love and respect and a little extra when their family is on vacation. It should be a relaxing time for our canine family too! I pride myself on the reaction of my visitors when they come back over and over!!! My schedule allows me to give your family members all the time and attention they could ask for in my home. I never want your furry family to feel like they aren't comfortable and I will engage with them as much or as little as they would like while giving them the space they need if they choose. I have a fully fenced in yard, but no one is out in the yard unattended. I also have the ability to completely separate dogs with separate exits/entrances. All dogs are able to go on couches and dog beds throughout the house and if they need their own space, I have that capability as well. The separated room has it's own tv, couch and is where I spend most of my day working. If your pup(s) is friendly, they are able to keep us company throughout the house. Smoke-free home.
“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.”
“Samantha was great! Very knowledgeable about dogs. She sent me a picture of her daughter reading Milo a book. Adorable! She kept me updated about Milo and informed me of a health condition with Milo. Very much appreciated!”
“Hali was incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating. She took everything in stride despite delays in my travel and with patience as times for drop off and pick up changed as a result. I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents! Thank you, Hali ☀️”
About: I grew up with dogs and have a deep love for animals. My partner, Jeff and I adopted our dog Miso in early 2025, so we know from experience the “puppy blues” that can come with a new addition. We already have repeat clients and frequently dog-sit for friends, coworkers, and neighbors. We have experience caring for senior dogs, as well as post-spay care and administering medications from caring for own pup. Jeff and I both work full time on flexible hybrid schedules, so there will always be someone home during your dog’s stay. Our pup’s routine includes potty breaks in the morning, afternoon, evening, and one final outing before bed. Your dog will follow the same schedule unless they require a more specialized routine or level of care — we’re happy to accommodate their needs! Dog park visits are a regular occurrence as well. We don’t have a fenced yard, but our neighborhood is very dog-friendly with plenty of green space for your pup to explore and sniff to their heart’s content. Miso is crate-trained, and we also have additional crates available if your dog is more comfortable being crated as well.
