“Truly a wonderfully easy experience. I have never had someone watch my dogs before, so I was nervous about leaving them. They were amazing and made this whole process seamless from the very beginning. From the moment I was considering to book with them, I asked if we could do a meet and greet to make sure my pups get along with theirs. Without hesitation, they had us come over to do so. They were responsive and easily reachable. They sent us tons of photos and videos of our pups while they were in their care. They took amazing care of my dogs and contacted me with any questions or concerns about them. Again, we can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend booking with them!!!!!”
“Sandy is amazing!! Provided pictures and updates during our pups week long stay! Our basenji could definitely be a handful which made us weary to leave her with someone we did not know, but after dropping our pooch off and seeing how Sandy was with dogs all our worries went away!”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“I highly recommend Amber. She was amazing with our lab mix. I'm new to using a dog sitter and Amber made the whole process seamless. She sent pics, videos and regular updates which was extremely appreciated!”
“Denise was lovely! We are so glad we chose to leave our dog, Perry, with her for the week while we were away. She sent pictures and updates daily, and I felt that she really got to know him while we weren't there. Perry came home so happy and had the best time with Denise and her family. We can't thank her enough for taking such good care of our little guy, and we'll definitely be using her going forward. She's fabulous!!!! Thanks Denise!!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”
“Delmy was amazing! She took awesome care of our puppy, Opie. She was extremely responsive and sent many updates throughout the stay with photos and messages. I definitely would trust her and her family to take care of Opie again! 10/10!!!”
“Kerri was a fantastic sitter for my active lab. She kept me updated and sent tons of pictures daily of him having the time of his life. They cared for him as if he was their own and I couldn’t be more grateful. Macallan cannot wait to stay with Kerri and her family again!”
“Jillian was a great sitter for Romeo! He was happy and snoozy when I picked him up. Jillian was super responsive with updates. I had a few travel snafus on the way and Jillian was very understanding and flexible.”
“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”
“Eliana is the best dog sitter! She takes very good care of Sully and make's sure he gets plenty of walks and playtime. We trust her completely and she takes plenty of photos. We couldn’t recommend her more.”
“I'm giving a five star review for Dan. Dan and Denise were so wonderful with our dog Sparky. They sent us pictures and/or videos daily which really put us at ease. Our dog seemed very comfortable in their environment and I really appreciated Dan's dedication and patience. This was the first time we ever left him with a sitter and I would definitely recommend and book their services once again.”
“I would highly recommend Catherine for her pet sitting service. She watched my dog for 2 weeks and he was very well taken care of. She was very loving and attentive to him while I was away and I knew he was in good hands. She sent me pics during his stay and he looked like he was having a great time which made me very happy. I would definitely use her again.”
“Alejandro, Right off the bat when we first met him we got an excellent first impression. He is very warm ,friendly and knowledgeable and was great with our pet! When we came home after 3 week of vacation and our dog was relaxed and happy. He is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter in the future. He communicated with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dog behind. Alejandro is trustworthy, and our dog love him. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request. Oliver and Lisbeth”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.
“I am very happy to write a 5☆review for Dan and Denise. I first met them in July 2017.I had inquired about their services for my previous dog and loved what I saw. Unfortunately, my Dog suddenly passed away and I did not use them . I did however save their contact information and now 9 months later , I have a new puppy. As soon as I needed daycare I called them up. Bruno spent a full day with them in their house and parklike backyard. He had a great stay and will be coming back on a regular basis. I am very happy with the care he received !”
“My dog spent the whole day with Eliana yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with the car he received. She sent pictures, kept me updated on how he’s doing, and gave him so much love. Will definitely use her again in the future!!”

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around.

About: I volunteer with the organization that I adopted my pup from! I not only process applications for the organization, but I actively “babysit” pups overnight (sometimes 3 days at a time) for their fosters who occasionally are away on the weekends. I have the most experience with puppies and young adults, but also have watched older pups of my family members. I hope to give your pup a nice boop on the nose :) I am a full-time teacher on summer break! With my current schedule, I am available Sat, Sun, Tues, Thursday & Fridays! I look forward to discussing your needs for your pet! I have a 1y/o pup who is crate trained, friendly and loves to play with other dogs. She is my best friend! I’ve taken care of my boyfriend’s dog as she’s recovered from two separate TPLO surgeries. I’ve potty-trained and crate trained other pups from the rescue I volunteer with as I personally feel that’s the best way to make myself and you assured of your pets safety. My pup and I frequent the complex park multiple times daily and love a good car ride. A brief note of needs for your pet will ensure I care for them exactly how you do!
“First time having someone walk our dog and Sandy was patient, professional and friendly with our skittish rescue. She knew just what to do so our pooch would calm down and trust her.”
“Ericka has been amazing with our dog Lila! She jumped in last minute to help out when our other walker was away and has been so warm and great to Lila. Thank you Ericka! You’re the best!”

About: 🐶 I know how it feels to be super excited for an event or a trip with just one thing dampening that excitement—worry about your baby’s safety and well-being while you’re gone. It is my pleasure and privilege to care for your dog(s) like they are my own so you can enjoy your time and travel with peace of mind. 🐶 I’ve been a dog lover and animal caretaker my entire life. As a child, I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, ducks, and even rats, learning to carefully care for each species and individual animal based on their needs. As an adult, I have adopted 2 dogs of my own, including a senior pup with demanding health needs, and a rescue pup found abandoned roadside in Puerto Rico. 🐶 I have also fostered many dogs of various breeds, temperaments, and sizes through a local rescue in my area. I understand that each animal is an individual with unique needs, likes, and dislikes, and take the time to get to know each dog I care for. 🐶 I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with trauma, dogs with medical needs, high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, and fearful dogs. 🐶 Caring for dogs isn’t just a “side job” for me—it’s something that brings joy and meaning to my life. I am passionate about animal welfare and well-being and believe every day should be the best day of a dog’s life! • I work from home and have total flexibility in terms of when I complete that work, so your dog’s needs can always come first!

I was in a Terrible accident about 3 yrs ago left me with a broken back in multiple places,half a dozen broken ribs on my left sides and many other things, So ive been limited with things I can do... But.... I can continue to care and take care of animals which I love, and also teach my kids responsibility, which sometimes when my daughters schedule isnt full she may come and help and play with the animals for a little while or help bring them on walks etc. So needless to say while they are in school I dont do much so i would love to walk, play, and care for your pets!

“Jen was an excellent find on Rover for me. She was friendly, easy to work with and she cared for my pup very well for his short visit with her. Jen has a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood and I was very comfortable that he was in a good care. And I got a picture which was a nice surprise! Thank you again Jen!”
About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.
About: I’ve had a family dog my whole life and I’m looking to take care of dogs before purchasing one of my own! Our house is very open and pet friendly Work from home and am very flexible with scheduling! While I am always off on Tuesdays and Wednesday's, my partner works from home everyday of the week Our home is fenced in completely and has plenty of grass for dogs to run around and play. Neighborhood is very safe and pet friendly!
About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)
“Shelby is the absolute best. I’ve been working with her for a year and she is always caring, thoughtful, and sweet with my dogs! She even brought them a Christmas gift. I would recommend to anyone!!!”
About: I have years of experience watching/caring for dogs both big and small, and cat sitting as well. I’ve also had pets throughout my whole life I work a 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I am available weekdays after work or early in the morning, and I’m free anytime on the weekends I’m unable to keep others’ pets at my own home, but willing to travel to your house for dog sitting or walking! Willing to go on jogs or walks for dogs:)
About: I am a 28 year old animal lover! I spoil every dog I encounter and believe dogs are better than some people. I treat all animals with love and respect, just as I treat my three current dogs. I have over 6 years of experience of working with animals, mostly in an animal shelter and grooming spa setting. As of now, I am available 6 days a week until about 12:30pm to walk your pups and/or stop by your home to make sure they are good for when you get home! I would be happy to help your day a little less stressful knowing your pup(s) are in good hands! I love all types of dogs big and small and would love to care for your pets.

“Truly a wonderfully easy experience. I have never had someone watch my dogs before, so I was nervous about leaving them. They were amazing and made this whole process seamless from the very beginning. From the moment I was considering to book with them, I asked if we could do a meet and greet to make sure my pups get along with theirs. Without hesitation, they had us come over to do so. They were responsive and easily reachable. They sent us tons of photos and videos of our pups while they were in their care. They took amazing care of my dogs and contacted me with any questions or concerns about them. Again, we can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend booking with them!!!!!”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“I highly recommend Amber. She was amazing with our lab mix. I'm new to using a dog sitter and Amber made the whole process seamless. She sent pics, videos and regular updates which was extremely appreciated!”
“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”
“Kerri was a fantastic sitter for my active lab. She kept me updated and sent tons of pictures daily of him having the time of his life. They cared for him as if he was their own and I couldn’t be more grateful. Macallan cannot wait to stay with Kerri and her family again!”
“Jillian was a great sitter for Romeo! He was happy and snoozy when I picked him up. Jillian was super responsive with updates. I had a few travel snafus on the way and Jillian was very understanding and flexible.”
“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”
“Eliana is the best dog sitter! She takes very good care of Sully and make's sure he gets plenty of walks and playtime. We trust her completely and she takes plenty of photos. We couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Alejandro, Right off the bat when we first met him we got an excellent first impression. He is very warm ,friendly and knowledgeable and was great with our pet! When we came home after 3 week of vacation and our dog was relaxed and happy. He is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter in the future. He communicated with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dog behind. Alejandro is trustworthy, and our dog love him. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request. Oliver and Lisbeth”
“Estamos muy satisfechos con Jamie, nos mantuvo informando sobre spike, enviando fotos etc. tuvimos una tarde mas tranquila con mi esposa contratandola sabiendo que mi perro estaba en buenas manos definitivamente super recomendada”
About: I have always had dogs growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more.I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals.My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends.I have experience with giving medication to senior dogs. I am responsible and trustworthy and I will go above and beyond for your dog to be comfortable in my care. I currently work full-time during the year. I am available all summer long to give your pet the extra attention he or she needs while you go on vacation or away for the day.I am flexible with my schedule. I enjoy long walks and playtime together! If you decide to board with me, I have a large fenced in backyard with shade to keep them cool. I never leave them alone they are always by my side or being watched in my care. I had a 12 year old Lab/mix senior dog that passed away in 2025 that always received a lot of attention from me and would like to do the same for your pet too. I would be available any day of the week or weekend's to take care of your pets needs. Just let me know!

“I’m very happy for leaving my dog with Laurie and her family Woody seems to be very happy and they taking care of him super well Tku so much and we will see you soon”
“I had a last minute emergency of not having someone to watch kylo while i went away. after constant searching my boyfriend recommended i try Rover and i found Jennifer . She was accommodating, sweet and attentive from the first meet. i was a bit nervous as a first time user for the app and i’ve never had anyone who wasn’t family take care of kylo, but she’s trustworthy and always sent updates on Kylo and how he was doing and he was settling in very easily. her environment was something i loved for kylo to be around, she was always around with kylo and gave him constant attention, cuddles, and her dog Sadie, was just as energetic as him. i’m glad he wasn’t alone and it definitely eased my mind to know he was in a safe environment surrounded by people and other pet friends. my encounter with her was so smooth and last minute but i’m glad she took Kylo in and treated him like her own. if you’re unsure of leaving your pet with someone i 100000% recommend her ! i know kylo had a blast with her and i would definitely love for her to watch kylo for future because of how happy he was and i was knowing he was cared for”
“My boys were so relaxed from the moment they met Jinay and her family. They looked comfortable and took off with her without looking back, which said a lot! I have a senior dog and a disabled dog who has to have his bladder expressed. Jinay gladly agreed to care for them without giving it a second thought! I received videos and they looked happy and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely be a repeat client! :)”
About: I’ve cared for family dogs my whole life and I’m usually the person family and friends call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities and also have experience administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. With Milo, I handle everything from bathing and daily care to teaching basic tricks and maintaining a structured routine. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. What makes me stand out from other sitters is the amount of time and attention I can dedicate to your pet. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays and available for drop-ins and house sitting, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. For walks, I focus on making them both fun and mentally stimulating — not just a quick walk around the block. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, walks can include sniff breaks, exploring new routes, light training reinforcement, and engaging activities to keep them mentally enriched as well as physically active. My drop-in visits can include: * Potty breaks * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and exercise * Snuggles and companionship * Basic routine care and attention For house sitting, I provide overnight stays along with attentive daytime care every 0–2 hours depending on your dog’s needs. This includes potty time, walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home environment. Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. My own dog, Milo, has a structured schedule that includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, training reinforcement, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m very used to planning my routine around a dog’s needs and making sure they feel comfortable, stimulated, and cared for consistently. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays, which allows me to give pets much more attention and companionship than sitters who may be balancing another full-time job. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and flexible scheduling for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I especially love building routines that help dogs feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I don’t believe pet care should feel rushed or transactional. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals and paying attention to their individual personalities and comfort levels. Some dogs want long walks and active play, while others prefer slower walks, cuddles, or calm companionship. I adjust my care to fit each pet specifically. Mental stimulation is also something I prioritize because I know it’s just as important as physical exercise. During walks and visits, I like incorporating sniff time, interactive play, and enrichment activities to help keep dogs mentally engaged and happy. For puppies, I’m patient with routines, potty training consistency, and energy management, and for senior dogs, I understand the importance of slower pacing, medication schedules, comfort, and gentle care. One thing that makes me stand out is the level of attention and presence I provide. I’m not someone who simply stops in for the minimum amount of time and leaves. I truly enjoy bonding with pets and making sure they feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is for pet parents, so I make an effort to send updates, photos, and details about how their pet is doing so they can feel reassured and connected. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or overnight care, I aim to make pets feel like they’re spending time with someone they know and trust rather than just being “checked on.” I currently do not host pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of your home where they feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. For drop-ins, I provide potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, walks if needed, playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of cuddles and attention. For house sitting, I stay overnight with your pet and provide attentive daytime care including potty breaks every 0–2 hours depending on their needs, walks, feeding, medication administration if needed, playtime, and companionship. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I’m comfortable adjusting care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time on weekdays, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent check-ins, and more quality time with your pet than many sitters are able to offer.
“Diana and her family were amazing with our Sophie. She kept us informed on a regular basis as to how our pup was doing in addition to providing us with several awesome photos. We would highly recommend her to friends and family and look forward to using her services in the future.”
