Highly-rated overnight sitters - Congress
“Mattey, my dog, loves Stephanie! His new best friends are Ryder & Max, her dogs. Stephanie made our trip wonderful because she let me know how Mattey was doing and sent lots of pictures!”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“Vicki is beyond amazing as a dog sitter. My lab has so much energy and the day he came home after a week with Vicki and her other dogs, he did nothing but sleep! While at the sitters he took great advantage of the dog friendly swimming pool and large yard. Vicki sent me pictures everyday and let me know what adventures my dog was experiencing. I highly recommend Vicki - she loves dogs!!! We will be a repeat customer ?”
“I have two high energy beagles and Kelly took them on. She was even smiling when I picked them up. She kept me updated and included pictures. I will definitely have Kelly watch the dogs again and I am so grateful she was so good to them.”
“First time boarding a dog. Our Pepper can be shy and was initially with Ramona but she was very patient and great with Pepper. More importantly, she shared updates and pictures of how much fun Pepper was having outdoors. That was quite helpful in calming our anxieties about leaving Pepper with someone else for four days. Thank you so much Ramona!”
“Miranda treated my baby very well, she even gave them swimming pools and sent very funny videos of my dog having a lot of fun, I would definitely hire her again for boarding services, her house is very clean and spacious, she has kittens but my dog is seem to get along very well with them, she was sending me photos and videos all the time, which I appreciate very much, the fact that she is a veterinarian definitely adds a plus, since she surely knows what is good for them, thank you Miranda!”
“We have been booking with Heather for our 5 animals for years now. Heather and her husband watch our 4 dogs and cat once a year for our vacation. I schedule my vacations around them now because I don’t trust anyone else with my kids. I love that they always send daily updates with pictures and let me know any concerns they have (my one dog is getting old and stiff. Heather’s husband told me that he was bumping into things and might be developing some eyesight issues). They are very attentive. One year my cat and one dog got into a tiff (as they do sometimes) and Heather immediately contacted me and told me about it and told me she separated them to cool down. I have a very nervous rescue that does not like anyone but I get pictures of her laying with Heather and her husband. I have only ever seen this dog hug my husband or I in the 3 years we have had her but she hugs them. This tells me all I need to know since Ivy doesn’t trust anyone. My dogs seem to feel comfortable when I leave them there and not panicked. My cat and older dog take medicine daily and Heather gets my stubborn cat to take her medicine with no problem. Your pets are safe with them.”
“This was our first time with Makenzie for our lab/pit bull mix, Liily for a week and she surpassed all expectations! An unexpected bonus booking with her is her fiance, Jared who is equally attentive and compasionate in his care giving. They are both incredibly kind people and seem to have a true passion for caring for our pets. Makenzie's responses were immediate and she gave daily photos and updates which was incredibly reassuring. Our senior dog has her physical challenges with unexpected vomiting and diarrhea and her fear of thunderstorms and they both took this in stride and seem undaunted. I relaxed more and more each day of our vacation seeing the care and attention that Lilly was receiving. I was afraid Lilly wouldn't want to come home! I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you again, Makenzie and Jared! Jenny G.”
“Such a great experience all together!! Had many updates and pictures! Great communication! Great family! Louis had such a wonderful time! Thank you so much! (:”
“I would recommend melody to anyone. I felt comfortable leaving my Scooby Doo while going off on a weekend family trip. He had a good time. I would use her again in the future as well.”
“First off I have always had my fears about boarding. I have always avoided going anywhere overnight but I had a little work trip come up and so I had to find somewhere for my Eska. I was very happy with Tiffany and her communication with me while she had my girl. I couldn't be happier with the care she gave my Eska. I now feel I can comfortably board in the future and feel she will be in good hands.”
“We are so happy that Kelsi was able to watch our dog while we travelled all the way to Alaska. We were a little hesitant going so far away, but we were confident leaving her in Kelsi's care. She had our phone numbers, our vet's name and number along with our Aunt's phone number in Ohio just in case. Kelsi sent us lots of pictures and updates. It looked like Bailey had a wonderful time and it eased our fears of being so far away. We highly recommend Kelsi and will be leaving our dog in her care whenever we need her.”
“The dogs were very happy and well taken care of. I scheduled a day so the dogs could get to know them and feel comfortable before our vacation. They seemed comfortable and happy when we came to get them. We are definitely using Darlene again.”
“Jenna and her family took very good care of my babies while we were out of town for a week. Although my little male dog gave her a bit of a challenge by peeing on the floor. I feel they were very well taken care of. I Would definitely recommend her and her family to anyone. She communicated daily with pictures. Made me fell very relaxed while out of town.”
“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”

“I was really nervous to leave my cat alone and to try Rover (both for the first time), but Hannah really helped put my mind at ease throughout the entire process/visit. She did an excellent job communicating with me and made sure I had enough pictures and updates to let me know he was doing well. I would highly recommend Hannah and will definitely book her again myself. Thanks Hannah!”
“Lexi was fantastic! She did exactly what needed to be done , then went above and beyond what I thought would happen, getting my kitties to come out for attention ( they are extremely shy). I would highly recommend Lexi for ANY pet sitting activities you would need her for… she is kind, attentive and dedicated. Definitely hire her!”
“Jayle was absolutely wonderful with our four cats. Each visit was thorough, timely, and full of care — we loved the photo updates and could tell the cats felt comfortable with her right away. Jayla handled their different personalities like a pro and left everything tidy. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind sitter.”
“Bethany did a great job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was very dependable showing up twice daily, on time as scheduled. She was communicative and very personable. We had great peace of mind knowing she was taking care of our pets. She clearly loves animals and taking care of other people's pets. We highly recommend her.”
“Absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and patient with our shy, older cat. Kept us informed and sent photos and detailed updates after each visit. Her care and attention put me at ease while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Kristi and will ask her to visit again when we travel.”

About: Hi, I’m Debbie! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud cat mom. ❤️ I currently have cats of my own, so I understand how much our cats mean to us and how important it is to know they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for when we can’t be there. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ cats while they’ve been away on vacation, making sure they have everything they need and, just as importantly, some love and attention while their people are gone. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s personality and routine. Whether your kitty is playful and social, independent and prefers their space, or needs a little extra patience to warm up to someone new, I’ll take the time to make them comfortable. During a visit, I can provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, cuddles and attention (if your cat wants them!), and plenty of TLC. I’ll also keep an eye out for anything unusual and let you know how your cat is doing after each visit. I know how much peace of mind it gives you to have someone you trust looking after your pets while you’re away. I’ll care for your cats as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for until you’re home. 🐾❤️ Because cats may not need a walk—but they definitely need a little love while you’re away! 🐱💕
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats every day. I recently raised my own puppy who’s now a happy, well-behaved 1-year-old, so I’m very comfortable with puppy routines, training basics, and high-energy pets. I also have a 5-year-old cat, giving me years of experience with feline behavior, feeding schedules, and creating a calm, safe environment for more independent pets. What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals. I understand the different needs of young, active pets as well as more mature ones, and I always treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own. I work full time throughout the week as a dental hygienist, that makes after work a great time for dog walking! This also means pet sitting is strictly weekends so I can give your pet my full attention ! I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel comfortable. I stick closely to each pet’s routine—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I keep their space clean, cozy, and stress-free.

About: I’ve cared for cats of every age and personality for over 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly rely on me to feed, play with, medicate when needed, and keep their routines consistent. I’m attentive, gentle, and treat every pet like my own.
About: I have cared for my two cats for several years, so I understand the daily needs and routines that keep cats happy and healthy. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing a calm, loving environment. Last year, I helped save a stray cat and safely took it to the animal hospital, which shows I’m attentive and know how to handle unexpected situations. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I treat every pet like my own and am committed to making sure your cat feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had animals my whole life, from dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, iguanas, and rabbits. I have lived with them, fed them and kept them clean. I am currently only working part time so I have tons of time to help these animals have some fun while their parents are away! I have a very large yard and live nearby to parks. I have a crate if needed and will be willing to accommodate whatever is needed.

“Stephanie takes such great care of my little girl! I can tell because she was excited to run up to the front door each day! I will absolutely continue to use Stephanie as I’m in the area for work.”
“Communication was flawless. I felt safe knowing that they would be well taken care of. My dogs came home happy after spending a day with Josh and his two precious dogs. Thanks Josh.”
“Tiffany was amazing!! My dog gets a little nervous when left at daycares but Tiffany made him feel right at home. The updates showed that he was relaxed and happy right away. Not only did Tiffany do a great job in taking care of him, she was also one of the most communicative daycares I've come across. You can really tell how experienced she is and how much she loves animals”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of various kinds of animals, dogs and cats . I Will respect your love for your animal that you’ve trusted me with. I am Retired, enjoy walking so why not walk a dog? I’m very responsible, and if I say I’ll be there to care for your dog, I will be there. I live in a great neighbourhood with sidewalks. I have no problem taking a dog on a leash to a nearby park. I ALWAYS pick up after dog.
“It was our first time leaving our boy with someone other than family and they made us feel really comfortable. We knew when we left he was in good hands. They sent us pics/videos showing how comfortable he was. Definitely will go back. Thank you!”
“Throughout the time my girls are in her care, I am regularly updated with photos and messages, which puts my anxiety at ease knowing that my dogs are in good hands. The heat is now becoming an issue, but Marie made sure to not over-extend, nor over exhaust my girls, especially my senior lady, making alternative “safe” choices for them while meeting their stimulation needs. Also another note, always very accommodating with my schedule, making drop-ins &/or daycare a seamless experience. Thank you!”

About: I have been dog sitting for many, many years. My very well trained Labrador Retriever loves to have sleepovers and play dates with dog friends. I currently work from my home on Monday and Friday. I am 15 minutes from home on Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday. So I will be able to come home for lunch and let your fur baby out. I can board on weekends as well. I have a large fenced in back yard and a friendly lab to play with your fur baby. I can crate if your dog if needed.
About: My rover is always up and always being monitored. I have had a few people reach out to me through this app and we have had wonderful experiences! I know how hard it can be to leave a family member with a stranger! So reach out to me, let’s meet up and make sure that this will be a good fit! My boarding and sitting fees are reflective of the level of care your animal will receive in my care. I treat all animals as my own, allow them regular potty breaks, and take them for walks to expend their energy. My reviews speak for themself! Let me help you keep your animal safe and tended to while you rest, vacation, or attend to business! I live on my own, with only one cat as a pet. I have a two bedroom house with space on the higher level and then an open basement! I’m sure my space can accommodate your fur baby! Send me a message! Let’s see if we can figure this out together. I work from home most days so my schedule is usually wide open to take dogs out to the bathroom during the day and then extra exercise during the evenings. My home is in a quiet neighborhood filled with other lovely dogs. My cat is very nonchalant and typically minds his own business. Additionally, my daughter is only with me half time so that usually won’t pose any issues.
About: I have had 2 dogs of my own since I was 12. I have dog sat many dogs for friends and others for at least 6 years. I also went to school for Zoo and Wildlife Biology I am currently not working in the summer. My schedule will change once school starts back up. However, I can still be flexible with my time. I would love to make it work for you and your pet! I have a friendly doodle mix that loves to play with other dogs. I have a big yard to let your dog play while tied on a leash. I also have a crate if needed as well as a baby gate.

About: I’ve helped take care of several dogs, mainly my grandpa’s dog ever since I was a kid. From walking, to feeding, to cuddling, I’m happy to help look after your pets while you’re away. I work full time during the school year (9-4) but have more free time on the weekends! I have full availability June - Mid August, so don’t hesitate to ask if it’s outside of my normal hours in summer! I try to treat my pets with the best care! I currently have two cats. They are regularly fed, played with and snuggled at home. I do my best to keep a clean litter box and clean up after pups.
About: Hi, I’m Debbie! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes dogs are family. ❤️ While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a variety of situations. I’ve had dogs for many years, cared for my sister’s dogs, helped with the arrival of multiple litters of puppies, and have experience caring for senior dogs. I’ve also recently fostered dogs and regularly walk dogs at my local animal shelter, where I get to spend time with dogs of different personalities, ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. I especially have a soft spot for rescue dogs and love helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog is different. Some pups want an energetic adventure and lots of exploring, while others—including senior dogs—may need a slower pace, extra patience, or a little more TLC. I’m happy to meet your dog where they are and give them the individual attention they need. I genuinely love being outdoors, hiking, walking, and spending time in nature, so getting outside with a dog is something I truly enjoy—not just a job. My goal is for your dog to get exercise, attention, companionship, and plenty of love while you’re away. And I’m a cat lover, too! 🐱 I currently have cats of my own and would be happy to provide cat drop-in visits as well. Whether they need food, fresh water, a clean litter box, playtime, or simply some company and attention, I’m happy to help. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first. ❤️🐾 My work schedule changes from week to week, so I don’t have the same days off every week. I keep my Rover calendar updated with my available days and times, so what you see on my calendar reflects my current availability. If you have a specific date in mind that isn’t showing as available, feel free to message me and I’ll see what I can do! 🐶🐱❤️ Trust means everything when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I don’t take that trust lightly. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Safety always comes first. I’ll follow your instructions, stay attentive to your pets, make sure doors and gates are secure, and be mindful of their individual needs and surroundings. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your furry family members are doing while you’re away. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping in to care for your cat, my goal is simple: keep them safe, happy, comfortable, and loved—and leave you with peace of mind. 🐶🐱❤️

I have a couple hours a day, in between that and taking care of my own animals, in which I give time for other animal care. For both animal and human safety, I conduct interviews and meet-and-greets before agreeing to take on an animal. Then, I work with each animal based on their individual needs & characteristics. I take into consideration their routines and how their handlers care for them, as well as their personal history, and adapt plans to fit them.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own.

Play time is something both of us would enjoy. Additionally, I will provide updates with pictures if you would like.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently live with four of my own, so I truly understand multi-dog households, routines, and different personalities. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and reliable. During drop-in visits, I focus on safety, enrichment, and clear communication so you feel confident every time you’re away. I work at a campground, so my schedule varies by season, but I plan in advance and communicate clearly. I focus on drop-in visits and short check-ins in your home, and I’m reliable about timing, updates, and following your pet’s routine. I care for pets in your home exactly as instructed, keeping their environment safe, clean, and consistent. I follow detailed routines for feeding, medication, and enrichment, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Grew up with horses, dogs, cats, chickens, donkeys etc. I have always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy being that trusted person with others fur babies.

“Mattey, my dog, loves Stephanie! His new best friends are Ryder & Max, her dogs. Stephanie made our trip wonderful because she let me know how Mattey was doing and sent lots of pictures!”
“Vicki is beyond amazing as a dog sitter. My lab has so much energy and the day he came home after a week with Vicki and her other dogs, he did nothing but sleep! While at the sitters he took great advantage of the dog friendly swimming pool and large yard. Vicki sent me pictures everyday and let me know what adventures my dog was experiencing. I highly recommend Vicki - she loves dogs!!! We will be a repeat customer ?”
“I have two high energy beagles and Kelly took them on. She was even smiling when I picked them up. She kept me updated and included pictures. I will definitely have Kelly watch the dogs again and I am so grateful she was so good to them.”
“Miranda treated my baby very well, she even gave them swimming pools and sent very funny videos of my dog having a lot of fun, I would definitely hire her again for boarding services, her house is very clean and spacious, she has kittens but my dog is seem to get along very well with them, she was sending me photos and videos all the time, which I appreciate very much, the fact that she is a veterinarian definitely adds a plus, since she surely knows what is good for them, thank you Miranda!”
“First time using Rover (recommended from a family member). From first experience with Rover and first sitter, I am very impressed! Sauddi and my cats got along very well. (They are friendly to everyone and will not go near people they sense are problems.). She provided daily videos, images and messages to update their status. She definitely did a fantastic job and, recommend her for a cat sitter. Gentle and kind. Thank you so much, you were a big help! 😊”
“We have been booking with Heather for our 5 animals for years now. Heather and her husband watch our 4 dogs and cat once a year for our vacation. I schedule my vacations around them now because I don’t trust anyone else with my kids. I love that they always send daily updates with pictures and let me know any concerns they have (my one dog is getting old and stiff. Heather’s husband told me that he was bumping into things and might be developing some eyesight issues). They are very attentive. One year my cat and one dog got into a tiff (as they do sometimes) and Heather immediately contacted me and told me about it and told me she separated them to cool down. I have a very nervous rescue that does not like anyone but I get pictures of her laying with Heather and her husband. I have only ever seen this dog hug my husband or I in the 3 years we have had her but she hugs them. This tells me all I need to know since Ivy doesn’t trust anyone. My dogs seem to feel comfortable when I leave them there and not panicked. My cat and older dog take medicine daily and Heather gets my stubborn cat to take her medicine with no problem. Your pets are safe with them.”
“This was our first time with Makenzie for our lab/pit bull mix, Liily for a week and she surpassed all expectations! An unexpected bonus booking with her is her fiance, Jared who is equally attentive and compasionate in his care giving. They are both incredibly kind people and seem to have a true passion for caring for our pets. Makenzie's responses were immediate and she gave daily photos and updates which was incredibly reassuring. Our senior dog has her physical challenges with unexpected vomiting and diarrhea and her fear of thunderstorms and they both took this in stride and seem undaunted. I relaxed more and more each day of our vacation seeing the care and attention that Lilly was receiving. I was afraid Lilly wouldn't want to come home! I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you again, Makenzie and Jared! Jenny G.”
“I would recommend melody to anyone. I felt comfortable leaving my Scooby Doo while going off on a weekend family trip. He had a good time. I would use her again in the future as well.”
About: I’ve had a passion for caring for animals since I was a child. I have 25+ years experience ranging from dog walking to in-home boarding. I have two dogs of my own. I am also well-experienced with senior dogs and bring a very calm demeanor. I am currently taking a break from corporate life and have flexible availability! I am typically available any time M-F, though occasionally I travel on weekends. I have a fully fenced in yard with two dogs at home. My dogs are social and love meeting new friends! I know that it can be unsettling for a dog to stay in someone else’s home, but we’re pros at welcoming others into our pack!
“First off I have always had my fears about boarding. I have always avoided going anywhere overnight but I had a little work trip come up and so I had to find somewhere for my Eska. I was very happy with Tiffany and her communication with me while she had my girl. I couldn't be happier with the care she gave my Eska. I now feel I can comfortably board in the future and feel she will be in good hands.”
“We are so happy that Kelsi was able to watch our dog while we travelled all the way to Alaska. We were a little hesitant going so far away, but we were confident leaving her in Kelsi's care. She had our phone numbers, our vet's name and number along with our Aunt's phone number in Ohio just in case. Kelsi sent us lots of pictures and updates. It looked like Bailey had a wonderful time and it eased our fears of being so far away. We highly recommend Kelsi and will be leaving our dog in her care whenever we need her.”
“Jessica was a wonderful dog sitter for our Bucky boy. She took the time to ask about his diet, walking, and sleeping preferences. Jessica has the perfect yard and environment to watch your fur baby. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“The dogs were very happy and well taken care of. I scheduled a day so the dogs could get to know them and feel comfortable before our vacation. They seemed comfortable and happy when we came to get them. We are definitely using Darlene again.”
“Jenna and her family took very good care of my babies while we were out of town for a week. Although my little male dog gave her a bit of a challenge by peeing on the floor. I feel they were very well taken care of. I Would definitely recommend her and her family to anyone. She communicated daily with pictures. Made me fell very relaxed while out of town.”

We understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, and we're committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can feel right at home.
