“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!”
“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.”
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.
“So happy to find Michelle! Louie came home calm and happy after staying with her and her husband during the weekend. We will definitely be planning future trips around her availability.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”
“Debbie made my anxious boy feel right comfortable and took such good care of him. She sent lots of pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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…”
“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!”
“Kerri & Harry always do a great job with Layla! It's always obvious how much Layla enjoy spending time with them and how well Kerri & Harry take care of Layla.”
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 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!”
“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.”

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!”
“Natalie was great! We learned rather quickly our two cats were in good hands during our vacation. Natalie was very prompt, efficient and sensitive to any concerns or preferences we had. We will definitely ask for her 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.”
“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! 😺”

I am very flexible with availability I prefer to care for your animal in the safety of their home. I can also take pets to the dog park if they are happy to do so.
“I travel for work and it can be unpredictable at times. I often get delayed and/or dates change. Lauren is extremely flexible with me and my 2 boy kitties love her. I'm so thankful to have her as my usual sitter!”
“We just returned home from vacation, and in the meantime left our cat, Mister T in the care of pet sitter Stephanie S. We were extremely pleased with the level of care that Stephanie provided. Rover is a professional, well-organized operation, and I am very happy that I found them and Stephanie. In advance of our trip, Stephanie conducted a meet-and-greet with me and Mister T in our home. During the trip, I received reports and pictures about how everything was going after each visit. Stephanie was absolutely amazing and understanding of Mister T's needs. She is knowledgeable about how to care for cats and pets in general. I learned so much from her during our conversations which will make me a better cat mom!! I cannot be happier with the service she provided. I highly recommend Rover, and will definitely call them again each time we go out of town. Thank you for everything! Vanessa D”
“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.”
“Meg did an amazing job. She gave me updates and reported anything of concern. My cat needed daily medication and she had no issues giving it to her despite Gypsy not being a fan of pills. I really appreciate the time and care she brought to my sick kitty. Would definitely use her again.”
About: As a child I had multiple cats so I know each one is specific in their care! Since having my own cats I have watched both family’s and friend’s cats for varying amounts of time. I am comfortable feeding cats and changing litter boxes. Depending on the cat, and their comfort level with strangers, I am able to provide medication. Profile picture is my friend’s cat Gizmo!
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.
“Amber was fantastic! She and Loki got along right away at the Meet-and-Greet, which we weren't sure about since he hasn't met many new folks since we brought him home from the shelter. We greatly appreciated the photos each day, and Loki seemed to enjoy Amber's company and evening pets. This was our first time booking a cat sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with Amber again.”

“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: 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!

“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!”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!!!”

“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!”
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.
“John and Nicole have a lovely home and beautiful backyard and took very good care of my peaches and mango. I would feel very comfortable leaving them there if I go away again. They seem very happy and exhausted!”

“You cannot find a better dog person than Natalie. Went far beyond what we could have ever expected and Lulu loved her. Natalie came by to get her jacket and Lulu was almost as excited to see her as she was to see me last night! Only complaint is she may have spoiled her! LOL. If Natalie is anywhere near you, I encourage you to choose her. No hesitations on my recommendation.”
About: When my family adopted our first dog, Jennie, a German Shepard mix, I had made it a priority to walk her almost everyday and play with her so she was never bored. I also helped train her when she was a puppy, teaching her how to sit and how to give her paw. I also took care of her when she became older, helping her down stairs and cooking her healthy treats like salmon and chicken. My family has since had two different foster dogs (American bully and Pitbull) that I love to spend time and go on walks with. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time on my hands and would love to spend it with your pets! I will always keep a vigilant eye on your pet and do my best to make them as happy as possible. I spend a lot of time outside in my fenced yard with my dog, so I will be sure to give your dog the same amount of attention.
About: I've been raised around dogs and cats all my life, as well as how to care for them. I've even had experience taking care of the school pet. I'm currently unemployed and going to part-time college, but I will be available on most weekdays. I have always wanted to work with animals and this will help me with more experience. I would make sure the area is safe and secure and make sure they always have plenty of food and water. At my home, our backyard is fenced in and secured.
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 have had pets all my life and know how much they mean to you so I will give them the best care! I have a part time job but it is very flexible! 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: 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.
About: Ive had all sorts of pets since childhood i.e. cats dogs chicks bunnies. I have experience with puppies, both golden retriever pups and German shephard pups. I currently do not have any pets for the first time in my life and so I've decided to create an account to supplement my income as well as satisfy my desire to be around furry creatures. For the record, I do not work with reptiles. Furry creatures only :) I am reliable and will keep you updated as much as you'd like me to, with pictures and videos of your pets! Cats and dogs preferred but also have experience with bunnies. I'm currently working in a very flexible industry, so my schedule isn't very rigid, however I will sometimes need to leave the house for 6-8hours. I enjoy being outside with the pups in the evening, when I have the most time. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home. I try and stick to the animals routine in their home, although sometimes they can be stubborn and not stick to their own routine. They will, once they trust and warm up to me, sometimes it takes a day or two :) I'm very patient and gentle and will show them all the love :)
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.

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.

In addition to having our own fur baby's, we volunteer with a rescue at their events and foster and train puppies 1 week a month. Our children even want to be vets and have taken kids vet classes. The adults in the house work from home and provide plenty of walks and love all throughout the day. Our fur guests are always treated like family when they are here. Both adults in the house work from home and provide walks and outside play time at least every 2 hours (more if we have a puppy). We love to take our pups on daily walks throughout the whole development in additional to backyard play time. We have a very pet friendly development and will take your pups on walks and playtime in the backyard. We offer mimicking your home care so if you crate train, we will crate train. If your fur baby sleeps in your bed, your fur baby can sleep in our bed. We have dog beds and toys throughout the house and our own dogs for your pup to play with throughout the day. Your dogs will always be treated like our own while they are here and get plenty of love and attention.
“Melaney was great with my dog! She arrived on time for walks every day and gave my boy lots of love and belly rubs. Felt very comfortable having her in my home to care for my boy.”

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.
“So happy to find Michelle! Louie came home calm and happy after staying with her and her husband during the weekend. We will definitely be planning future trips around her availability.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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…”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover and so I was a little anxious about having someone watch my dog however after meeting Kelsie and John I immediately felt so relieved and happy to have met such a wonderful couple who loved dogs as much as I do! My dog loved their dogs and had so much fun with them. I will be 100% be recommending them to friends and will be booking with them 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!”
“Kristen took excellent care of Spencer for over a week. The worst part of going away is leaving Spencer behind but it was comforting to not have to worry about him knowing that he was safe and getting plenty of attention from Kristen and her daughter. It was evident from the daily pictures that he felt at home with them. I would not hesitate to have Spencer stay there again.”
“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.”
