“John and Kelly took really great care of Koda! They kept us updated on how he was doing and gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We look forward to booking with them in the future since Koda enjoyed his stay so much!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Nicole and her family was absolutely wonderful. We loved the videos and photos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that Bella was well loved and was having a great time while we were away for the week.”
“Brendan was great - perfect fit for Crosley. Very communicative and I knew him and his kids cared for Crosley while we were gone! 100% recommend and will use him in the future”
“Lisa was great and I’m pretty sure my dog was bummed to come home. He lived his best life while there. He got snuggles, love and even took over their dogs bed. Lisa was diligent on communication and sending me pictures with updates. She welcomed me to visit before I booked. She has a fenced in yard where my dog could go out the doggie door when he needed. She gladly gave him his eye drops. Bowser will be back for sure! Thank you so much.”
“Really appreciate Melissa's flexibility and responsiveness for our last minute booking. She took great care of our pup, with regular pictures/updates, plenty of playtime with other dogs, and plenty of love from the humans in the home as well. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Tasha and Joseph were great! Maple loved her stay. She’s usually very shy and anxious when we leave, but she seemed to do very well. We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Christina was amazing with our 50lb boxer. He is very high energy and when he got home, he was worn out. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again as well!”
“This was my first time booking with Rover. Michael set the bar high for future expectations. Michael was thorough and kind. Michael provided update pics which was very much appreciated. Michael treated our pup like it was his own. Highly recommend his family for your dog boarding needs!”
“The best part about leaving our dogs with Gabe is they are so happy to leap out of the car and run up to him! They are obviously very comfortable there. Thanks again Gabe for a worry free trip. We very much appreciate the work you do for us. You are a blessing!”
“Patricia and her boyfriend take such good care of my little guy. He always loves going over and visiting their dogs. They take him on several walks each day and send lots of photos and video. I know he’s in good hands when I leave him with Patricia.”
“Allie was great. She was easy to communicate with, happy to accommodate our dog’s “quirks”, and took great care of her. She sent us daily pictures of our dog living her best life and she clearly happy when we picked her. It was a million times better than having her in a kennel.”
“Gilbert was an outstanding dog care partner while my family was away. He met Ripley before we left to get a chance to get introduced to each other and let Ripley explore their backyard. Their home is in a great community with a perfect fenced in backyard. Our family enjoyed receiving pictures and updates during our travel. I highly recommend Gilbert for anyone that needs overnight dog care!”
“I got regular photos from her of my pup and he looked like he was just at home. I knew he had a good time when he hopped out of the backseat and went to her for goodbye pets.”
“Second time using Misty and she has been a life saver. This is my second time leaving Knox overnight and she has given me the ability to enjoy family gatherings without worrying especially with my anxiety. Will definitely recommend and be using again 💙”
“Teah was great. We had our puppy stay with her, which can be a bother. She and her husband taught him how to fetch and sent us videos and pics. I would highly recommend Teah for your sitting needs. We will use her again and again given her availability.”
“Our dog was well taken care of, loved and treated wonderful. We knew we could enjoy our trip while in the care of Beka and Ryan. We would highly recommend and will definitely go back to them when we need a boarder.”
“Our golden retriever Chelsea had a great time with Kanika and Jan! We really appreciated the meet and greet prior, frequent photo updates, flexibility in our timing with our travel, and the great effort put forth in considering Chelsea's needs and preferences. Highly recommend!”
“We were nervous about leaving our newest dog, Xena, with a petsitter. She is a rescue and generally afraid of people. To our surprise, April gained her trust immediately and took great care of Xena and her big brother, Bodhi. She also sent us photos and videos of both dogs, allowing us to totally relax and enjoy our vacation. April is a gem and we won't hesitate to use her again.”

“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
“I recently moved to Ohio and needed to find a new pet sitter. This process has always been so stressful, needing a person my pets liked and I trusted. I lucked out when I found Cheryl! She is a true animal lover who is professional, trustworthy and genuinely kind. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“We have used Cora three times now. One of our babies is quite elderly and needed medication and is extremely finicky. Cora sticks with it to be sure our girl is fed and medicated properly. We also got a new baby and Cora spent a lot of time playing with him. She always sends video and pictures as well as updates. We will always use Cora when we need to be away.”
“Constance was great with my cats. She was patient, understood them well, and was communicative. She provided comprehensive updates and pictures, and I rested well knowing my cats were in good hands! I came home to an accident free and tidy house—she even brought my packages in! Thanks!”
About: I grew up around big and small dogs and have had cats, snakes, and turtles. I worked at a vet clinic for a couple months then moved to working at an animal humane society for a year and a half, I am now working at a doggy daycare and have dog/house sat for some family friends. I have experienced in special needs senior pups and I have experienced with rabbits as well. I currently have 3 dogs, 5 cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish and my personal pets. I work Monday-Friday and mainly work 6:30am-1:30pm. I have plenty of time after work to spend time walking and caring for the furry friends, I work no weekends so the furry friends will have some full days of love and attention. Depending on the needs of the pet and the parents instructions I like to do at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment, if no fenced yard depending on age and size of day, 30 minutes of walking around the neighborhood and playtime inside of home or enrichment
“Jeffrey was great with mtg cat who is always shy at first. Felix warmed up to him quickly. My cats food and treat schedule can be complicated but Jeffrey took care of everything and I did not worry at all while on vacation. I would definitely recommend jeffrey.”
“Amber was wonderful with our two cats while we were away. She visited our house twice a day on schedule, and they looked legitimately happy to see her in photos she sent over! They were both happy and healthy when we got back (and were waiting by the front door where she would come in, hoping for a visit!)”
“Bethany, Thank you so much for taking care of our baby. He loves you! He also says you were the best cat sitter he’s ever had! He also thanks you for the toys. That was very thoughtful of you! 😻”
“Oli was a great house sitter and companion for our senior cat Tigger. She is reliable, trustworthy, and kept us updated each day so we wouldn’t worry. She kept the plants and flowers watered, and the house was clean and neat when we got home. We will definitely use her again, and highly recommend her. Thanks Oli!”
“Deborah and her husband were great. This was my first time using Rover and the first time my dog stayed without family. Deborah answered all my questions and eased my worries. She was great about sending updates and photos. It looked like my dog had a blast! We will be repeat customers. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cat since I was a child, as well as a lot of experience with pet sitting. I’ve had a lot of experience with big dogs (irish wolfhound, bernese mountain dog, etc) as well as little dogs. I also taken care of cats, both social and standoffish. The pets I have cared for have had very different personalities and I’ve done well adjusting to them. I understand how to respect your pet’s boundaries and adjust my care as needed. I was looking for a flexible summer job, so this is my only commitment. Therefore, I am able to spend as much time as needed with your pets. I understand the importance of sticking to the routine and schedule created for your pets. I will walk them, crate them, and play will them as much as you normally do. I will make sure their environment stays clean (cleaning litter boxes, cleaning food/water bowls, wiping their paws, etc). My goal is to care for your pets just as you do.
“Ashley is exactly what every pet owner hopes for when leaving pets behind to travel. I had a trip out west that Ashley kindly accepted with a fairly short notice on my part. She was happy to visit our home for a meet-and-greet in advance, which made me feel much less anxious. In a word, Ashley is wonderful! Her strengths include excellent communication with quick responses, prompt effort, highly-attentive, and very loving/patient toward animals. I highly recommend her and can't wait to have her back.”
“This was our first time ever using Rover and we were a little hesitant with having someone come into the house to care for our furbabies (2 cats) while we were on vacation. Enter in Kelsey! She was great! Kelsey showed up, took photos, and communicated greatly. We never had to worry at all while on vacation. I would definitely be booking Kelsey again for our next vacation to watch after our furbabies.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Brooklyn for our first Rover experience! Our cat was so well cared for while we were away, and we loved getting regular photo updates and sweet notes throughout the week. It was clear she took the time to really connect with our cat, even getting her to play with toys she hasn’t touched in ages! We came home to a happy pet and a spotless home, which made the return so much more relaxing. Truly above and beyond. We’d absolutely book with her again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Arbor Crest
About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
“Janice hosted our dog Goldie in her home for daycare and we had another great experience! She sent me a wonderful report afterwards with great photos and information. I can tell that Goldie is happy and at ease in her home which makes us so happy. We look forward to working with Janice again!”
“Parisa is one of the nicest and most caring people I’ve met. In fact, I just met her and I could tell this instantly. I definitely trust that she provided my pup with the best and most loving care. I will 100% be using her again. Thanks again, Parisa!”
About: Hi there! I’m Andrew—a lifelong animal lover with a big heart and an even bigger soft spot for furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and always treat every animal like family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with pics and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether you have a playful pup, a chill senior, or a shy kitty—I’d be honored to care for them like they’re my own. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your furry companion! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. I build in time for morning and evening walks, play sessions, feeding routines, and any special care your pet may need. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended sitting, I’m able to adapt my routine to fit your pet’s needs and keep them comfortable, happy, and loved. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do everything I can to maintain their normal routine and create a stress-free environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or bedtime routines—and I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, preferences, and quirks. I always treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. If I’m providing care in my own home (depending on the service), I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods, and I keep a close eye on their behavior, comfort, and health throughout their stay. In both settings, communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!
About: I have loved animals ever since I was born. They are my favorite thing in life. I will treat your animal with the most love I can offer.

“My Cavapoo Tino enjoyed daycare with Beka and Ryan. Beka quickly responded to my request to book. And when I messaged her during the day, Beka was also quick to respond. . Beka sent me a photo. Drop off and pick up were easy. Tino was happy when we picked him up. There were no sign of stress. We would use Beka and Ryan again.”
“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: Your Pup's new bestie! You can trust your pup with this safe and caring dog lover ! I provide fun and cozy care for your furry friend while you're away. As a Leadership and Financial Coach who works from home, I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. My own beloved dog, Kara, is part of my family—she enjoys a balanced meal of boiled turkey, sweet potatoes, and dry duck food, and we share daily walks in our safe, quiet neighborhood. Every afternoon at 5:00 PM, we take a special pause for fun playtime together. I live in a welcoming end-unit townhome that features a lovely yard and a private walkout basement with plenty of grassy space. You can trust that I will care for your pet with the same love, warmth, and dedication as I do for my own. Your pet will be treated like my own pet, i.e., allowed on the furniture and bed, unless they use a crate or they have a bed. I use a retractable leash with built-in flashlight, that includes a poo bag holder. Happy to give them a bath with sensitive skin dog shampoo. If they need a nail trim, just let me know, it's a little extra but worth it. If I missed something, just let me know, happy to accommodate as I can. If I am at your house, I will follow your instructions according to your needs while also doing the same above.
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
About: When I was about 8 years old my family got our first dog and helped my parents with basic training because it was fun, as a kid, to teach a dog how to shake and roll over. That's when my deep love for dogs began. Growing up I had a female Cocker Spaniel named Emily and a male Beagle named Fortitude. As I got older, I knew I wanted a dog of my own and when I was 20, I got a female lab mix and named her Tayla. She went EVERYWHERE with me and I trained her off leash unless we went on walks. She unfortunately passed in August 2024 due to a tumor. In February 2024, my beautiful dog Lenna crossed the rainbow bridge at the young age of 6, due to kidney disease. Loss is hard, but the memories we had and her heart lives within mine. I currently have a 2 year old female red Doberman named Maisie who is my service dog. Since I got her at 8 weeks old, she was also trained off leash unless on walks. She is a true Doberman being a Velcro dog which has made her become a wonderful service dog. I also have a soon to be 3 year old Belgian Malinois/Dutch Shepard named Reigny. She is high energy and loves to play, but also great during the day time to just hang out and sleep while I work. She is off leash and e-collar trained. She is friendly and loves snuggles, just needs to get to know someone first as she may bark a lot when you first meet her, especially in my home. I work remote full time for a therapy company, therefore I can generally adjust my schedule to be available for morning and afternoon appointments during the weekdays. Weekends I am generally open, especially in the summer months. Daycare can be in your home, I would just need access to Internet to be able to still work during the daytime. Leash manners are important, however I am more than willing to add that into walking/caring for your beloved dog. In home manners are also appreciated with not an excessive amount of barking or jumping, yet again, this is something I would be happy to assist with. Lots of attention, fresh water and meal times being met are important, especially when an outside caretaker comes in while the family is away. In my home or yours, I guarantee they will be care for like I care for my own girls! I will be certain to make sure your pet is not alone for too long when caring for them in your home and will always respect their responses upon my return.
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday from 7-4, however I am fully remote and my job is relatively flexible. Working from home makes life easy as I can take time on my lunch break to do a quick walk or drop in with your fur babies. I’m also available before 7am and after 4pm on weekdays and available on the weekends. I do get bank holidays off and a decent amount of PTO which allows even more flexibility 🙂 While I’d love to welcome every pet into my home, I have a reactive dog of my own, so I currently only offer care in clients’ homes through drop ins, walks, and house sitting. The safety and comfort of your pets and mine will always come first 💕
About: I'm an animal lover eager to help take care of your pet with as little disruption or stress to their normal routines and expectations! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats particularly for walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I have regularly taken care of friend's and family's pets since 2024, and it brings me great joy. I am self-employed with a primarily travel-based career, combined with some light work-from-home, meaning I can make your pet the primary focus when I'm available for booking. Much of my work is contained to weekends so I can help particularly with weekday care. My primary focus is to be a highlight of your pet's day, or at least maintain their (and your!) usual routines and expectations as best I can. I offer walks, visits, crating, or longer-term pet sitting in your house. Any special requests or routines for your pets are my priority while they are in my care!
About: I’ve had many pets over the years, and I know how special and important they are in our lives. I have taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors; from puppies/ kittens to very special seniors. My children are adults now, so I am very flexible as far as scheduling goes, in order to meet your and your pet’s needs. I come to you! I will carry out your instructions in your pet’s own environment, and make sure they are safe and happy, keeping feedings in mind, as well as doors or gates that need to stay closed.
About: I provide dependable, personalized care with the added benefit of pre-veterinary experience, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I'm a recent college graduate available full-time for the summer! I'd love to hang out with your beloved, four-legged friends during the week and/or weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets feel secure through patience, positive interaction, and plenty of supervision, while always respecting the client’s home and keeping communication open with regular updates and photos.

“Really appreciate Melissa's flexibility and responsiveness for our last minute booking. She took great care of our pup, with regular pictures/updates, plenty of playtime with other dogs, and plenty of love from the humans in the home as well. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Tasha and Joseph were great! Maple loved her stay. She’s usually very shy and anxious when we leave, but she seemed to do very well. We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Christina was amazing with our 50lb boxer. He is very high energy and when he got home, he was worn out. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again as well!”
“This was my first time booking with Rover. Michael set the bar high for future expectations. Michael was thorough and kind. Michael provided update pics which was very much appreciated. Michael treated our pup like it was his own. Highly recommend his family for your dog boarding needs!”
“The best part about leaving our dogs with Gabe is they are so happy to leap out of the car and run up to him! They are obviously very comfortable there. Thanks again Gabe for a worry free trip. We very much appreciate the work you do for us. You are a blessing!”
“Allie was great. She was easy to communicate with, happy to accommodate our dog’s “quirks”, and took great care of her. She sent us daily pictures of our dog living her best life and she clearly happy when we picked her. It was a million times better than having her in a kennel.”
“Gilbert was an outstanding dog care partner while my family was away. He met Ripley before we left to get a chance to get introduced to each other and let Ripley explore their backyard. Their home is in a great community with a perfect fenced in backyard. Our family enjoyed receiving pictures and updates during our travel. I highly recommend Gilbert for anyone that needs overnight dog care!”
“I got regular photos from her of my pup and he looked like he was just at home. I knew he had a good time when he hopped out of the backseat and went to her for goodbye pets.”
“Second time using Misty and she has been a life saver. This is my second time leaving Knox overnight and she has given me the ability to enjoy family gatherings without worrying especially with my anxiety. Will definitely recommend and be using again 💙”
“Our golden retriever Chelsea had a great time with Kanika and Jan! We really appreciated the meet and greet prior, frequent photo updates, flexibility in our timing with our travel, and the great effort put forth in considering Chelsea's needs and preferences. Highly recommend!”
“We were nervous about leaving our newest dog, Xena, with a petsitter. She is a rescue and generally afraid of people. To our surprise, April gained her trust immediately and took great care of Xena and her big brother, Bodhi. She also sent us photos and videos of both dogs, allowing us to totally relax and enjoy our vacation. April is a gem and we won't hesitate to use her again.”
“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos. It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter so I wasn’t sure what to expect. My dogs spent a full week with Rachel and Nicholas and came home happy, healthy, and tired. I consider that a success! I would use them again in the future and I would also recommend them to friends.”
“Jenna and her family provided our 17m oGolden retriever with best care when we go away for weekends or weeks. Coco loves going to their house! We trust Jenna with Coco’s safety and well-being while we are gone. Recommend her highly!”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Amanda was phenomenal. Fendi seems very happy having stayed with she and her family. She was even able to accommodate an extended stay due to work travel. Grateful for the care.”
“Karen was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our puppy with her! Not to mention that our pup came back even better trained! I would definitely recommend Karen!”
