Our family went were away for a week and wanted to leave Max at a house so he’d have 1:1 care instead of boarding, We hadn’t met Karen previously but from the first minute we talked with her it was obvious she was a dog person and Max would be in great hands!

“Jenna took excellent care of our 10 month old golden retrieve Coco. She and her family welcomed Coco into their home and provided the care and attention Coco needs. Jenna even sent texts and photos which reassured us Coco was doing well. We never like to leave Coco at a kennel when we go out of town. She is confined in a kennel with limited attention. It is good to know we have a wonderful home where Coco is welcomed and will receive loving individual care and attention thanks to Jenna. Debbie R”

“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone.

“Jeff was excellent at taking care of our four cats. Responsive and punctual. He left everything clean and sent us photos daily. He went the extra mile to feed our wild birds. I recommend him for all your pet needs.”

“Sandy was very responsive and able to help us last minute when a friend was unable to check in on our cat. She sent us photos of our cat while visiting and even brought in some mail and packages that had arrived while we were out for us, all without us asking. We would use Sandy again anytime we need someone to check in on our cat.”
“Nina did a great job with my little one. She asked so many questions that I honestly hadn't even given a ton of thought to during her first visit! Seemed like that had a great visit and I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Laura was awesome, our cat usually won't come out for anyone he doesn't know. But I guess he knew she truly is a animal lover, cause he came out to greet her. She took very good care of him, played and brushed him, and even brought one of her cats toys over cause I accidentally locked his up. Thxs Laura”
“Crystal was a total pro taking care of my 2 sweet cats. She came well prepared to the pre-visit and asked great questions. During her drop-in visits, she did everything we discussed to a "T", and and really showed that she had paid attention to the cats' personalities. Crystal took extra steps to make friends with one of the cats, who warmed right up to Crystal. Highly recommend.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She was prompt, CLEARLY concerned that she had all the information she needed to take care of my cats, and flexible about some last minute complications with my plans. Melissa sent me awesome pictures and notes each day, and had my shy, timid boy eating up her affection. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Paige was amazing with our pups! Loved the pictures and the updates. Our dogs can be a handful, very loving and playful but a handful, haha. Paige took great care of them, was on time, and did a great job. Definitely book her!”
“Andrea is the BEST!! Literally book her while you still can!!!! It was my first time using Rover for my kitten and I was super anxious about everything but I quickly realized she is in great hands with Andrea! She connected with my kitten and learned what she likes and treated her like her own fur baby! Andrea sent me updates and pictures through out which gave me lots of reassurance. Andrea stayed at my apartment and left it so clean and perfect! Also, Andrea is literally just the sweetest person you will ever meet and you can tell she genuinely cares and wants the best for your pet!!! I cannot say enough great things about her!!”
“Meranda was absolutely AMAZING. From the very start, it was so obvious to me how much she loves animals and the ways in which she will go above and beyond for you and your pet. She sent lots of photos and videos, detailed updates, and was incredibly trustworthy, thoughtful and detail-oriented. We couldn’t be happier to find someone to care for our kitten while we’re away, and had so much peace of mind knowing he was in amazing hands!”

“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for over 20 years and truly enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities — from energetic pups to more anxious or senior pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do have a cat, and he is used to being around dogs, but I always prioritize safety and comfort for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and structure my schedule intentionally, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and when boarding, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I value routine and make sure each pet’s normal schedule is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with my son (7 YO) and our cat, Toto. While our backyard is not fenced, dogs are always leashed for outdoor time and walks. We have great sidewalks and a quiet area that’s ideal for daily exercise. Inside the home, I provide a calm and supervised environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and always prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and following specific care instructions. I’m also happy to schedule meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels confident.
“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”
“Paige was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped off our pup, we felt confident that she was in great hands. Paige has a wonderful, open space where the dogs can safely run and play, and she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. It gave us such peace of mind to see how happy and well cared for our dog was. We’re so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked with her again. We highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.
“This was my first try at rover and I am so thankful Karen was able to be our first experience. I have only depended on family for care in the past but now am thankful I can find amazing people like Karen to help me when I’m in a pickle! She was so sweet and welcoming!”
“Kayla and her partner were wonderful with our dachshund. We needed doggie daycare while attending an event. Kayla was excellent to work with and took great care of our little baby. Highly recommend.”
“Dottie goes to Emma’s all day, 3 days a week and just loves it! She gets so excited as soon as we pull in the driveway! Emma is responsive, helpful, kind, gentle and great with my little dog!”
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
About: I'm sure everyone heard of how good or how long they take care of animals , I'm not so different from other Occupant who love animals , who doesn't love animals , they are there most of the time when you need someone to be there for you , the saying is true a dog is a man best friend they never leave your side for any Convenience I'm currently pregnant with my first child ever, and I want to be very cautious about bring life into the world , so by being a sittiter/walker I'm want to make sure I can Multitask and handle what comes my way I live a apartment building with a balcony so it very closed in , they should be no problem with the safe keep of your pets
About: Early 40’s year old sitter/walker with car. You could say I have 40+ years of experience. My family had a German Shepherd from before I was born and I was very close to her. There has been a stream of pets in my family. Including so so so many cats in NYC. Even going so far as to “rescue” a half feral one. Currently, I share ownership of a dog. As a small business owner of over 10 years, I am able to have a flexible schedule and spend more time hanging out with your pet(s). That said, I have a lot of experience managing other people, and I do have high expectations for clear communication from clients. I have never had a complaint from clients that already have human children. I am very clear about the kind of care I offer. For example, I clearly state I can do 4-8 hrs for letting out. That does not mean that when I get to the sit, you tell me you expect every hour. I also do not cancel other bookings so that you can be the sole client. I have been through that, obliged, and the client was still dissatisfied. I am running a business and the new owner of this app runs on harsh algorithms that hide you in search. Let’s try to be better and more human, than conforming to private equity and their bottom line. For the fur babies, I can follow their diet and pet or play or brush their hair. As long as you give me a list or schedule, I'll do my best to provide it. I have extensive experience with pets at all stages of life. (As well as other kinds of pets which I am open to caring for.) I understand the care required for a wide variety of needs and can do my best to provide reinforcement on current training, but I am not going to be attuned right off the jump to the nuances noticed by your trainer or you... I can reinforce sit, lay down, paw, stay, heel, rollover, or anything else. I can administer medicine. I am not formally trained in pet CPR, but I am trained in human CPR and have looked at videos for pet CPR. When I was younger I worked as a lifeguard, and have a remarkable natural ability to stay calm and act fast in crisis situations. This comes in handy, for example: when protecting my maltipoo from other dogs, managing territorial behavior, or keeping one dog out of another dog’s bowl. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I have a small business and partial responsibility of my dog, so I do need to be able to run errands, go to meetings, or check in at home to keep that part of my life running. For extended care, and distance further than 5 miles, I prefer be given the option to stay over at clients for the sake of gas costs, time, and energy. First meeting and approach are important to setting a precedent, I first see if the pet will approach me. I like to offer my hand palm down for them to smell. Sometimes it takes a few times smelling the hand before they feel comfortable letting me pet them. In my opinion it’s important not to mess up first impressions with the pet. Spending time together builds familiarity bonds, being attentive builds trust. It’s important to build rapport.
“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: I have fostered over 70 animals the past four alyears. Puppies, adult dogs kittens and cats. Also bunnies and guinea pigs! I have tons of experience with house training and crate training puppies. I volunteer at our local animal shelter weekly and have developed a strong bond with the rescue community. I also have experience administering medication. During the past two years I have met many animals , all with a different type of personality. I have been able to adapt and learn how to handle each unique personality. My time as a foster and shelter volunteer has really showed me what my true passion is! My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually able to accommodate last minute requests. Unless I have another client , my schedule is almost always open. I volunteer at the shelters on Tuesday mornings but I can always rearrange my volunteer days. My home is fenced in and I have crates for my own dogs, also extra crates for your dogs. My dogs have multiple play styles so I can adapt to just about any personality. I only ask that if your dogs are boarding in my home they are animal and kid friendly. If you're nervous about your dogs being around dogs you don't know, I understand. I can easily rotate the dogs time so they never even have to interact, as I have baby gates to keep them separated. I have a big fenced in yard so your dog will get plenty of play time. If you want boarding in your home I can do that too. I can provide plenty of love and play for them. Whatever you are comfortable with in your home just let me know! I also always will send tons of pictures. If you have puppies I can absolutely help with potty and also crate training if they aren't crate trained yet.
“Rachelle is awesome! She really cares for my dogs needs and knows how to handle her reactivity to other dogs. She read the long list I gave her of info on our dog and sent multiple updates during the day. And she was able to handle my dogs quirky behavior really well (a mini dachshund). I really recommend Rachelle if you want ur dog to have more individualized care than just a boarding kennel. And Rachelle is really nice as well. I’ll be coming back for sure when we go out of town!”
“We had some rocky communication difficulties in the beginning due to the app, but aside from that everything was great! Shanikka took great care of Daphne and sent me many photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to find someone who was willing and able to watch such a young puppy and I’m very appreciative of Shanikka and her family. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: Hello! I’m a Part-Time working Momma and we love animals! I have grown to enjoy dogs mostly. I’ve had a pet dog for a great amount of my life as well as other animals like rabbits, fish and snakes! Size or age doesn't matter, they are all fun. I love their energy and seeing how they interact with loved ones. I frequently help out family members with their dogs which includes bathing, walking, picking up their food and medicine. Taking trips or “car rides” are also a fav’ we partake in. Dogs are truly a pleasure to have and I would love the opportunity to provide care to your fur baby! I have open availability now and have one kiddo! We are up pretty early for school/sports and events so I am pretty flexible with boarding/scheduling! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of space to run and play. I also have a finished basement for those that are potty trained.
About: Hi! I'm Elijah and I'd love to care for your dog(s) whether you're going on vacation or simply need a sitter for the day. I'm a nursing student in my final semester and I'm returning to Rover after six years! I have one dog of my own, a 9-year-old mini schnauzer named Winston, along with two rabbits and a leopard gecko. My partner has two dogs of his own as well, a labrador named Nina and a shih-tzu mix named Lucky—both of them being seniors at ages 13 and 15! We live in a 2 bedroom house with a medium sized, fenced in backyard. I have gates and areas of the house that can easily be secluded if your pet would do better with limited access to other animals. Our dogs are all easy-going, surprisingly playful for their ages, and get along with other animals very well (although I'll still do introductions slowly and safely!). Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are the 3 days I have classes and I'm always home after that! Tuesday and Thursday I have a 2-hour class, and Saturday is my long day with a 10 hour clinical so my bookings will be closed for that specific day. The animals in my home are left alone for very little time each week. If guest animals have to be left alone, I have gates along with two rooms I can secure the guest pet in if need be! If you utilize a crate for your animal, you can bring that as well for me to use if I must leave for a short time.

“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”
About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“This was my first time using Rover and I could not ask for a better person. She was super sweet and made sure Thor was taken care of. She even scheduled time to meet Thor before their walk the day before. I would highly recommend.”
“Libby is a great sitter! She takes my dog on neighborhood walks or if time and weather permit, adventures to a nearby walking path. She's easy to communicate with and has made me feel at ease while I'm at work! Thanks, libby”
“I could tell from the pictures that my Aussie, who can be a little nervous and tentative with new people, was comfortable and happy with Eric. I recommend his services 100%!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for pets since I was 11. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors since I was 14. I have volunteered at the SPCA (animal shelter) since I was 16. I now lead my college dog walking/shelter volunteering club (STEP) as vice president, and truly love caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities! I’m a college student with a completely open and flexible schedule this summer! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, pet sitting, and can accept last minute bookings. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely live for, so I love making pet care part of my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I’m attentive and patient, while also extremely well versed with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog like my own babies!
About: I have loved animals for my entire life— pet therapy is a real thing! Recently I started house and pet sitting and found I loved it because I got to get to know new animals. 💕 I would love the opportunity to get to know yours! I am currently in grad school asynchronously, so it will be no trouble at all for me to come over as often as you need me to! I am also happy to water your plants when you’re gone at no additional cost as well. 😎 I make it a point to know my clients’ animal(s) very well. I am well aware that each animal, whether it is a geriatric cat like my own or a young energetic puppy, has a unique personality and I always accommodate that in my care routine for them. Spending the time with them that they would get with you is key, as well as making sure they get plenty of enrichment. 🐾
“Megan was incredible! Super responsive and so nice! She helped me out big time and even helped me out when Winston had an accident inside. She made me so comfortable and know my pup was well taken care of I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I grew up with five cats and one dog, and have helped pet sit friends’ dogs. I am very comfortable playing, feeding, going on walks, cleaning litter boxes, etc. I now have my own tripod cat as well, so I have also learned a lot about caring for pets with different needs! I will be working part time, and not taking classes this summer semester. So I will have plenty of time to stop by throughout the week. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stick to their usual routine. I am very careful on checking that doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I follow all instructions closely and keep owners regularly updated!
“Wonderful dog walker. She is honest and does her best to take care of your dogs. You literally can’t go wrong with Anna. She works hard and puts all her love into taking care of our doggos. I am new to Cincinnati and it’s great to find someone I can trust to come to my house and take care of my best friend like family.”
“Siri is great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and from the moment my dog met her, it was easy to see she understands and cares for animals. My dog can be shy with new people, but Siri has this calm confidence, and they connected immediately. Every walk was on time, with detailed updates and photos that gave me peace of mind knowing he was getting good care and happy. It’s good day when you find someone who treats your pet like their own, Siri is one of those special people. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and competent person to care for your pet.”

With a lifelong passions for animals, I am here to ensure your pet's well-being and hapiness. Since I was a child, I never met an animal I didn't love. From caring for family pets to volunteering at local animal shelters, my love for our four-legged companions has only grown stronger over the years. My journey with animals has taken me through various roles, including working in veterinary offices, animal shelters, and pet shops. These experiences have equipped me with invaluable skills and knowledge in animal care, health, and behavior. I work at home fulltime, so I am available to give your pet plenty of attention. My husband works a hybrid job. We have two school aged children who have grown up with animals and are very knowledgeable about when to give pets their space, and when to engage in play. We have a large home with the ability to give your pet quiet space alone if needed, and plenty of indoor room for play when they want attention. We have a large unfenced backyard. My husband and I both go on morning and evening walks, and have lots of time to give your pet exercise as needed. Currently, I share my home with Subi, a big-hearted cat who has never met a stranger. He brings endless joy to my life with his playful antics and affectionate purrs. He does well with all other pets, but we do have the ability to keep him separated if your pet requires us to do so. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized care. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, grooming, or simply providing companionship while you're away, rest assured that your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I am committed to providing reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitting services, giving you peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for in the comfort of their own home.

I am open to doing anything from walking to feeding to bathing. Also providing your pet with lots as love as long as they’re open to accepting it!
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, etc since I was a teenager! Neighbors, family members and friends trust me to go into those homes to feed, care for, and walk their pets. I have extensive experience giving medications to pets, and well as love to walk, so would love to have your friend tag along! I am a public school teacher, so work a consistent schedule through the week, but love to go on walks and play toss in the afternoons/evenings. I do not work June-August so would have a free schedule to care for your pets! I have no kids in my home. I live in a safe area, and have a yard to play in. It is only 3/4th fenced, so I use a 30ft leash in the yard always for safety. I do have a 4 month old golden retriever, but she loves all dogs and is always looking for a play buddy
“Video chat was a great way to do an introduction and walk thru for first time meeting. Loved the pictures and video sent, made me confident my dog was happy and well cared for. Will use again!”

“Eric is an outstanding human being to care for your your furry best friend. We booked him last minute for a few days to settle in to our new apartment because our dog was showing signs of anxiety and lack of attention. Eric truly changed Bubs to his goofy happy self again and we can't be any happier. He was very responsive and will send all the updates to put you at comfort while your pet is in care of him! Highly recommend to book his services you won't be sorry. ?”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Second time using Misty as a sitter. Hudson ran right inside when we dropped her off. She had a good time and came home worn out. Misty was able to accommodate my change in schedule as well. Will definitely use her again.”
“Chrissy was great with my dog! I'm still new to rover.com and was a little nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn't know. HOWEVER, I felt comfortable with Chrissy from the start and was actually excited that Mr. Miyagi (the dog) got to stay someplace where I felt he'd be really cared for. And "cared for" Chrissy and family did! She sent me photos of him every other day and I got to see how normal life stayed for him while I was gone. Another reason I felt comfortable with Chrissy is that she has the vet tech background. Mr. Miyagi has allergies and can be a little high maintenance. I wanted someone who could recognize his allergies and respond accordingly if needed. Chrissy was great! I give her 4 "dog thumbs" up!”
“Jenna took excellent care of our 10 month old golden retrieve Coco. She and her family welcomed Coco into their home and provided the care and attention Coco needs. Jenna even sent texts and photos which reassured us Coco was doing well. We never like to leave Coco at a kennel when we go out of town. She is confined in a kennel with limited attention. It is good to know we have a wonderful home where Coco is welcomed and will receive loving individual care and attention thanks to Jenna. Debbie R”
“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”
“Bradley was amazing with Chinook and Apache! They had a great time during their stay—Bradley kept me updated with plenty of pictures, and the boys looked so happy when I picked them up. Now they’re both passed out asleep at home, which tells me they had a fun and active time! I’ll definitely be booking with Bradley again. Highly recommend!”
“Dantasia was awesome! This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience excellent! My dog loved her and her family and returned to me as happy and healthy as she was dropped off.”
