“Lauren and family are so great to my beloved Rocco. I was able to be away and did not worry about his care. I knew he was in good hands which was such a peace of mind! I will be rebooking and encourage anyone who wants to be away from their pet with no worries to do so as well!”
“Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰”
“Amber was very enthusiastic and accommodating even before we dropped off our little girl. This was our first experience with Rover and she and her family made it a great one! She showed us around her home, where our pup would be playing outside, and made us feel right at ease! She sent lots of pics and video throughout the weekend so we knew Shasta was having a great time! Would definitely recommend her as a sitter. We’ll use her in the future for sure!!”
“Can’t say enough good things about the service level. I rebooked with Angie the day I picked my dog up. If you select her and by extension her family you will not be disappointed.”
“Alice was excellent to work with, very accommodating. They took great care of our dog, and sent us pictures, videos and updates regularly. When we need to travel, I'll be connecting with Alice again, our dog loved it there.”
“Very communicative and knowledgeable about different types of dogs! Will definitely book again for my next trip and my dog didn’t come back to overly tired!!!”
“Kathy kept our puppy in her home for 6 days while my husband and I were out of town. Rooney always has such a blast and gets along well with her other dogs. She always sends pictures and updates throughout the day. It’s so nice to be able to go away and know that Rooney is well taken care of. We love Kathy!”
“My dog Bella has been cared for by Andrew twice now, and both times she’s been absolutely happy and well taken care of. The second time we went my dog got excited as we pulled up to the house, remembering what a good time she had during her last visit. Highly recommended!”
“Rachel is just great! She takes great care of Wally and she gives us regular updates. She has learned his little quirks and she great taking him on walks. Just really pleased with all that she does for Wally.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“We were delighted with the care our dogs received while with Kirah and Mitch. They kept them for several days and each day, we received pics and info about how the girls were doing. It seems as though our dogs were simply integrated into their normal, family life. One of our dogs was sitting by Kirah’s visiting grandma in a picture and was also being wrapped into blankets on their couch. Another dog was Kirah’s shadow and Kirah didn’t seem to mind in the slightest. It’s always hard to leave your dogs with someone new, but thankfully, it all worked out beautifully. We’ll definitely leave our girls in their care again when needed.”
“Beth is great with Ireland while I’m at work! She is easy to get ahold of and sends pictures and video updates of my boy Ireland. I know when I drop him off that he is happy and in great hands.”
“Pepper had a blast at Bethany's house! After a week of cuddling and socializing, Pepper returned to us exhausted and happy. While she was there, i received a daily update with a picture. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Very accommodating for a last minute booking for our rambunctious two boys. They seemed to be comfortable and had a good time. We also appreciated all of the updates while we were away. Thank you both!”
“Dawn and Robert were great with my dog! They have a private fenced in back yard, which is great for my dog who loves to be outside but who doesn't get along with other animals. I got daily pictures and updates which is always appreciated so I know he's being taken care of. Highly recommended!”
“Alexandria is the best. She took care of Star as her own. She even went to the vet to pick up some medications that were needed during the stay. I would go with Alexandria again anytime over anyone else! I cannot say enough good things about her. She clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond expectations!”
“Wonder with our needy and at times difficult dogs. This was our first big trip leaving our 2 dogs with someone other then close friends and we were very pleased with how they were cared for.”
“Kimberly and her family were so good to our little Molly that I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home. It was a true blessing finding Kimberly on Rover. I hope she has room for her the next time I need a dog border. Thank you so very much Kimberly.”

“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”
About: Don’t tell the dogs, but I’ve always been a cat person. I appreciate their way of loving and tolerating. I have worked in the veterinary medicine field for over 7 years with grooming experience as well. Can assist with brushing, nail trimming and other special needs.
“Madigan was excellent! She gave our cats lots of love while we were away and took great care of them. She left detailed notes about each visit and I know my cats were in great hands!”
“Taylor clearly intuitively understands cats/animals and is very diligent about providing daily feedback. I have been able to truly relax on my vacation, with confidence Clem is being well cared for. Thank you, Taylor! 🫶🏻❤️”
“Courteney has dropped in multiple times and for multiple days to care for our elderly cat as we have traveled far and wide. We have never worried about our kitty while we were away and Courteney was on duty. She is extremely dependable, trustworthy, stays in contact regularly, and is sensitive to animals' temperament and moods. I highly recommend her without reservation!”
“Cameron is absolutely amazing. I have brand new puppies and she made me totally comfortable with taking care of them for me. She is super responsible and responsive! I’m definitely recommending her to my friends and family.”
“Kara made it very easy to be relaxed while my family and I went on vacation! I knew my two cats were in good hands :) She sent frequent picture and text updates and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. I absolutely would book with her again!”
“Elyza is the best cat sitter I’ve had by far. She spent a great deal of time ensuring my cat was fed, watered, and loved whilst I was away. Very reliable and kind. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”
About: I’ve always loved cats and truly enjoy spending time with them. I understand that every cat has a different personality—some are social and playful, while others prefer a quieter approach—and I always let them set the pace. I have experience caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, playing with them, giving lots of attention (if they want it!), and administering oral medications when needed. My priority is making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.
“Olivia is WONDERFUL!!! She is very attentive and communicative. We definitely felt that she cared for Indy in a very personal way. We would definitely recommend her to watch any and all of your animals..”
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs — I grew up with four, and I currently have one of my own. Being around dogs has always been second nature to me, and caring for them isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. From daily walks to belly rubs and everything in between, I know how important it is to give pets the love, attention, and care they deserve, especially when you’re away. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, I’m here to treat them like family I work full time but my partner will always be home! I have flexible hours and can always communicate with you on what works best with your schedule. I have Sundays and Mondays off! I can follow any instructions needed for your furry one and will care for them any way needed while you are away to make sure they are well attended to!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. From running over to let out the neighbor’s dog, to pet sitting for friends & family members while they’re on vacation. I grew up in a home with two dogs, both of which I’ve helped care for and go out of my way to spoil with love. Fun fact: I’ve also raised and cared for goats, rabbits, cats, turtles, frogs, and fish. I am a full-time student, but I would love to care for (& walk!) your furry companion(s) in my spare time. I’m a firm believer that the best therapists have wagging tails! I recently adopted a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever and I can assure you that I will care for your pet with the same enthusiasm and warmth as I do her.

“We were initially apprehensive about hiring someone to take care of our beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire terrier mix, Nikko. However, Cindy’s exceptional service quickly put our worries to rest. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her care. Nikko had a fantastic time at Cindy’s daycare and even made some new doggie friends. Cindy kept us updated throughout the entire process, sending pictures and providing detailed updates on Nikko’s activities and well-being. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nikko and his happiness. We are incredibly grateful to have found Cindy and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring doggy daycare provider.

About: Hi! I am a pet owner and enthusiast. Since I am a professor, I work from home and have a lot of free time in summers and holidays to hang out with your wonderful dog. I love getting to know a pet’s wants, anticipate their anxieties, and most importantly play! My work requires me to be on-site part time, so I am quite flexible for overnight stays, extra long walks, and boarding at my place with my sheltie Flora. I have a two bedroom apartment with my sweet, spayed sheltie Flora who loves to play and take naps. I am quite active so I would be happy to take your dog on long epic walks.

We met her ahead of our initial booking for her to get to know our dog and for our dog to feel comfortable around her place and with her lovely puppies. Everything went well and she took care of Alexis for a day. She kept sending lovely pictures and videos of Alexis playing with her and the dogs. That gave us peace that she was having a good time. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend her.”

Hi there! 🐾 I’m excited to offer reliable, compassionate pet care services designed to keep your furry family members happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently provide drop-in visits and dog walking services every day except Tuesday, as well as doggy daycare on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. As a full-time nursing student, I’ve developed strong skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and care. My background in healthcare means I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. While I may not have formal veterinary training, I bring a nurturing, detail-oriented approach that translates naturally into high-quality pet care. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My schedule is structured but flexible within my available days. Because I am in school full-time, I carefully plan my availability to ensure I can dedicate quality time and focused attention to each pet I care for. I do not rush visits—I prioritize meaningful interaction so your pet feels comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” Whether you need a quick drop-in, a refreshing walk, or a full day of care, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pet’s day brighter.

I also have experience with reactive dogs and know the importance of following their guidelines to extreme precision.

I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and they seem to trust me easily. Basic feeding and walking for dog and cats too if needed. I'm currently looking to make pet sitting my full time emplyoment, I hope to make many animals and pet parents happy with my service. For dogs I would change the food and water when arriving and take dogs for a walk or outside to use the bathroom. Cats I would change food and water while also cleaning the litter box after use.
About: Currently not employed anywhere else so your pet will receive my full time and attention. I love being outside so if walks for your pooch are required, rest easy knowing they will be plenty exercised while you’re away. I’ve had experience with big dogs and small, senior dogs and puppies, adult cats and kittens. I have experience clipping nails and claws and have no problem giving baths if needed. Currently unemployed so my routine is wide open to add a few furry clients. I also have a helper so if more assistance is needed for the animals, I’m capable of handling it Willing to be in the home the entire booked stay. Will follow the feeding and exercise schedule left for me by the owners. Keep pets comfortable and at ease

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“We were delighted with the care our dogs received while with Kirah and Mitch. They kept them for several days and each day, we received pics and info about how the girls were doing. It seems as though our dogs were simply integrated into their normal, family life. One of our dogs was sitting by Kirah’s visiting grandma in a picture and was also being wrapped into blankets on their couch. Another dog was Kirah’s shadow and Kirah didn’t seem to mind in the slightest. It’s always hard to leave your dogs with someone new, but thankfully, it all worked out beautifully. We’ll definitely leave our girls in their care again when needed.”
“Beth is great with Ireland while I’m at work! She is easy to get ahold of and sends pictures and video updates of my boy Ireland. I know when I drop him off that he is happy and in great hands.”
“Very accommodating for a last minute booking for our rambunctious two boys. They seemed to be comfortable and had a good time. We also appreciated all of the updates while we were away. Thank you both!”
“Dawn and Robert were great with my dog! They have a private fenced in back yard, which is great for my dog who loves to be outside but who doesn't get along with other animals. I got daily pictures and updates which is always appreciated so I know he's being taken care of. Highly recommended!”
“Alexandria is the best. She took care of Star as her own. She even went to the vet to pick up some medications that were needed during the stay. I would go with Alexandria again anytime over anyone else! I cannot say enough good things about her. She clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond expectations!”
“Wonder with our needy and at times difficult dogs. This was our first big trip leaving our 2 dogs with someone other then close friends and we were very pleased with how they were cared for.”
“Kimberly and her family were so good to our little Molly that I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home. It was a true blessing finding Kimberly on Rover. I hope she has room for her the next time I need a dog border. Thank you so very much Kimberly.”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“After having a bad experience at a kennel we found Rover and that’s where we found Kelsey. She was easy to work with and answered all my concerns in timely fashion. She even let me bring my dog to her home first before staying for a meet and greet. She sent videos and texted every day to keep me up to date on how he was doing. We will definitely use her again.”
“Wrigley has stayed with Michelle and Nicholas twice and both times have went great! They are very easy to work with and have a great home for a pet toy stay in.”
“Chad and Cara cared well for Samson, and he seemed very comfortable and happy there. We appreciated the updates they sent us about how he was settling in. They had everything ready for us when we picked him up, and dropping him off and picking him up was quick and easy.”
