“I booked at the last minute with Charles cuz the Cruise team and camp resort couldn’t look after my dog who was traveling with us. Charles and his wife are excellent pet sitter.

Their home is safe, cozy and beautiful, and they kept in great touch during his stay ... also sending pics along with the 'pup'-dates. Henry arrived home with that "I've just been to a spa" look on his face. He can't wait for another sleep over and his long stay in the fall. Thanks to both of you!!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two dogs—especially during a stressful time while Beth was recovering from a broken leg. They went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, safe, and sticking to her medication and recovery routine. I really appreciated the consistent updates, photos, and communication—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing both of my dogs were in such caring and capable hands. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”

“Pamesha was a great communicator in my first time using the Rover app. I really appreciated her clear and thorough profile when making my choice online. She agreed to a pre-meet in which I was even more confident this would be a great fit for Indie. She made an instant connection with Indie and during boarding we appreciated the regular outings/exercise/and pics of her both in Pamesha’s home and out frolicking. She gave great attention to specific instructions for feeding and schedules which helped Indie transition both to boarding and on return home. I look forward to booking Pamesha again.”

“Wow Wow Wow! This service far exceeded my expectations!! From the moment Tug & I met Josephine we were at ease. Josephine's kind & calm approach had us knowing she was the right fit for Tug. I truly valued the ongoing dialogue pre & post care and the booked afternoon allowed me the opportunity to know Tug was in perfect care in the perfect setting with the perfect sitter. Thank you Josephine & Thank you Rover..we will definitely use this service in the future and will highly recommend to friends & family!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Walelign. Mimi was very well cared for, and we truly appreciated the constant communication, we always received quick and thoughtful updates whenever we reached out. Mimi came back calm and happy, which means a lot to us. She is usually quite anxious around new people, but she didn’t show any signs of stress this time and didn’t cry at all. It was clear she felt safe and comfortable. Walelign truly went above and beyond, and we are very grateful. We would absolutely trust him again and feel confident leaving Mimi in his care. Thank you so much!”

“Luke was great with Cow! She immediately started playing with her toys with him and that’s a rare occurrence with strangers. She was pooped after a day of walks with him and it was nice to know that she could get some exercise and some couch cuddles, the perfect balance for her. Luke was keen to oblige to all the picky requirements that a chihuahua has. 20/10 would leave Cow with Luke again! Thanks for being flexible with booking and for taking good care of her!”

“Pamesha et son conjoint ont été extraordinaires avec notre Léo durant notre croisière dans les 1000 Islands. Ils ont été patients et attentionnés. De plus, j’ai reçu beaucoup de très belles photos, plus belles que celles que j’arrive à prendre de Léo moi-même! Encore un grand merci d’avoir pris soin de notre Léo, nous étions en complète confiance 🤩”

About: I've been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since I was 16, caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to help keep pets happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I'm partially retired and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. As a former dog mom, I miss the companionship, walks, joy and love that dogs bring to everyday life, which is what inspired me to join Rover. Whether your dog needs a walk, company during the day, or extra attention while you're away, I'm able to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of schedules. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and look forward to making them feel safe and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and any special needs. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and your dog's comfort level to help ensure a safe and positive experience. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident.
“Daniel was so great watching my little guy Harvey! He really took the time to learn about Harvey’s walk schedule, what some of his favourite games are and you could tell he just really loves dogs!”

“I booked Rose for my dog Luna and the experience overall was smooth and easy. Communication was friendly, scheduling was simple, and I appreciated the updates during the day. Luna came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! Thank you for taking good care of her.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Great with meds, after surgery care, senior dogs, walks an of course lots of play and cuddle time. I treat each dog as if they are mine. I work from and can make my own schedule, which leaves time to spoil my dog and get cuddling and lots of play time in. I have an unfenced yard but plenty of room for your fur baby to run. I have a staffy that is a rescue and is very sweet and gets along with other dogs. If I come to you we will have lots of fun.

“Julia went above and beyond taking care of Skipper. We are completely satisifed with the drop in visits and walks through the week. Julia provided excellent updates and prompt communication. We would absolutely contract her services again and we recommend using Julia!”

“I have a rescue pittie named Peter thats only been with me for about 4 months, and he currently needs a lot of extra care, attention, patience, and love. Nicole has been so kind and willing to accommodate his needs, and Peter loves her! He looks so happy in all the update pictures she sends— I’m grateful to have found somebody that both me and my dog feel comfy with.”

“Leading up to my wedding, I was feeling nervous about all of our family being with us and how our dog would be taken care of. Saskia not only helped to completely remove those nerves, but truly treated our dog like her own. Our dog struggles with anxiety and can take a little to warm up to new people, but wagged her tail and got excited this morning smelling Saskia’s hat!! I knew from Saskia’s amazing communication and update pictures that our dog was in excellent hands, but that sealed the deal for me. My husband and I were not worried at all and able to be fully present at our wedding knowing our baby was so well taken care of.”

“Gabby is my go to when I am on a trip and can’t bring my dog Reggie. Gabby has helped out numerous times walking and running playing with him while I’m away. Thanks again!”

“Averi was very easy to work with. She is flexible and understanding. When I booked her for four-days, then had to cancel due to a change in circumstances, she immediately responded and helped process the refund. The one day that she took our dogs out for a walk, she walked them for a mile, ensured they had food and water, and she even helped mop up their accidents. When we came home to greet our dogs, they were much calmer than normal. I believe this is due to the time, attention, and care that Averi put into her duties. If we ever need a dog-walker, again, in the future, we will consider Averi first!”

About: Hi, nice to meet you! Please call me Eliza. Firstly, thank you for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away. Here's a little bit about me and my history with pet care. When I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. My journey with pet care began when I was 12 years old. One of my neighbors had a black lab puppy that they never let inside & never had company. One day, I walked up to their door, knocked & asked them to hire me to walk their dog everyday. I never looked back. Since then, friends, family, neighbors & strangers alike have entrusted me with all of their pet's needs. When considering booking with me, please keep in mind that I also work 35 hours a week, giving me plenty of time to pay attention to your pets. I do not have breed restrictions & am happy to work with any special needs or requirements your pet may have. FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, I do require a meet & greet before booking to ensure that everyone (including your pet) is comfortable and to be able to ask/answer any questions we may have for each other. I've found this helps to ensure trust between all of us. Please be upfront with any triggers or quirks so I know exactly how to take care of your pet. *The meet & greet is a FREE service to ensure we're all a good fit for each other before the stay. For the time being, I do not offer boarding in my home. During my stay with your pets, I provide the utmost care & attention to your pet & their needs. My main priorities are making sure your pet is as safe & as comfortable as possible in an already anxious situation with their parents being away. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away.

Whether it’s feeding, walking, or providing companionship, I prioritize their well-being and treat every pet as if they were my own. As an online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or last-minute requests. My open schedule ensures that your pets receive consistent care and attention whenever you need it. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine to ensure comfort and consistency. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, and playtime tailored to their needs. I provide medication if needed, clean up after them, and monitor their health and behavior. My goal is to keep them safe, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: I have experience with dogs my entire life from daily care routine to caring for senior dogs.

About: I've been a devoted dog owner for 4 years and grew up in a home where dogs were family. From caring for high energy 8-week-old puppies to providing the gentle, patient attention required by seniors, I have experience with every stage of a dog's life. Having lived with small, medium, and giant breeds, I'm comfortable managing all personalities and sizes in my fully fenced yard. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm able to accommodate full round-the-clock care Friday afternoons through Sunday. I can certainly accommodate drop off earlier on Friday as well, but there'll be a greater period of absence ptior to my return from work. My home is designed for safety and fun! Your dog will have 24/7 access to a fully fenced, secure backyard for play time and potty brakes. Inside, I maintain a calm, pet friendly environment where guest dogs are treated like family, meaning plenty of couch, snuggles and quiet areas for naps.

I work part-time but I am flexible with scheduling as long as it is in advance. I understand how each pets personality varies, whether it's cuddling on the couch or playing with their favorite toys, I love spending quality time with them and making sure they're happy and healthy. When it comes to safety and trust, I take it very seriously. In my home, I make sure the environment is pet-friendly and safe as I have a cat of my own. I understand that prioritizing pets health is crucial, I will take them on walks to make sure they get plenty of exercise. In my client's home, I follow their guidelines and routines to ensure their pets feel comfortable and secure. I treat every pet like they're my own, providing lots of love and attention to make them feel at home!

About: I’ve grown up with animals in my life since I was born and my mom worked at a Vet Clinic for 13 years so I’ve seen my fair share of all sorts of breeds! From little Pugs to giant Cane Corsos! I’m up for anything and happy to help in anyway I can! I am usually free throughout the week especially with a heads up I should have no problems being able to help you out with whatever needs to be done! And I’ll be happy doing it! I have a dog named Motley who is 4 years old! She’s a mutt but we love her so much and she gets along well with other animals. Sometimes she’s a bit excited with new people/ animals but she is crate trained and potty trained so shouldn’t be a problem!

“Pamesha was a great communicator in my first time using the Rover app. I really appreciated her clear and thorough profile when making my choice online. She agreed to a pre-meet in which I was even more confident this would be a great fit for Indie. She made an instant connection with Indie and during boarding we appreciated the regular outings/exercise/and pics of her both in Pamesha’s home and out frolicking. She gave great attention to specific instructions for feeding and schedules which helped Indie transition both to boarding and on return home. I look forward to booking Pamesha again.”

“Wow Wow Wow! This service far exceeded my expectations!! From the moment Tug & I met Josephine we were at ease. Josephine's kind & calm approach had us knowing she was the right fit for Tug. I truly valued the ongoing dialogue pre & post care and the booked afternoon allowed me the opportunity to know Tug was in perfect care in the perfect setting with the perfect sitter. Thank you Josephine & Thank you Rover..we will definitely use this service in the future and will highly recommend to friends & family!”

About: I have always believed that pets are like children and deserve love, patience, attention, and proper care. I live on Fort Drum, so I understand how important reliable pet care is for military families, especially during long workdays, trainings, TDYs, and last-minute schedule changes. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every pet with the same care, safety, and respect I would want for my own. I am patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, from energetic pets to older pets who need a little extra love and attention. do my best to keep pet care simple, reliable, and stress-free for both pets and their owners. I’m available for drop-ins and walks depending on my schedule, and I always make sure I give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and updates while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and cared for. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean. I make sure doors, gates, crates, litter areas, food, and water are handled carefully. I also send updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and doing well.
“Stephan boarded my dog during our vacation and took utmost care towards her throughout our absence. He would send us constant pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend him.”

“We left our dog with Walelign for two weeks on very short notice because so our usual sitters were unavailable. It was clear from day one though that he is a big dog lover and that he will take great care of our pet. He is very communicative, he sent photos every day like we requested, and he wasn’t afraid to ask before introducing new food and treats. We could see on the pictures he sent us Korra was having a great time! We will definitely be leaving Korra with him again, and we wholeheartedly recommend Walelign to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Karli was very accommodating to Miss Sallie. Her warm welcoming dog friendly home and fenced yard allowed us to be stress free leaving are fur family there. She will top of my list next time we require overnight care for Sallie 💕😊”

About: From young age I've been responsible for many types of animals. I have experience with dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, cows and calfs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, iguana, fish, frogs, turtles, salamanders, etc. I currently have one medium dog who lost his litter mate in December 2023. I'm a stay at home dog Mom. We both have lots of energy for walks and hikes. I live on a 1 mile dirt, seasonal, dead end road with lake frontage and massive yard for playing hide and seek in the trees and hunting squirrels. My dog is dog friendly, loves playmates. (No jealousy). In your home care would be provided to your pets as we would discuss with a meet & greet.
