“Marley has a home away from home with Megan & the boys & Gus! I love the pictures she is always sending us! Seems like this weekend was “party time” with the doggies! They all looks so happy! We were blessed to find Megan & her family!”
“This was our doggie’s first time with Heather and she loved her. Heather’s dogs are very calm so our dog was comfortable (and snuggly) with the humans and the dogs. She was super happy when we came home and not at all anxious. We’ll definitely call her again if we need to!”
“Awesome! She was accommodating, pleasant to work with and I felt confidant that my pup was well taken care of. Gina stayed in communication during my time away and was responsive to my texts and questions. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Haley was an amazing host! Very communicative and kept us informed through the entire visit. Our Copper really seemed to enjoy his weekend stay! We will definitely use Haley’s services again! 5 ⭐️”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my entire life, including pet sitting for neighbors and friends. Growing up, we mostly had large breeds dogs, making me uniquely qualified for watching large breeds. My parents’ Newfie is a common household guest. We currently have a Beagle and a Golden Retriever who love making new friends! My husband and I both work from home so we are able to provide constant love and attention throughout the day and can provide lots of potty breaks if requested. At most, dogs may be alone for an hour or two for errands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take extra precautions to ensure a secure and comfortable environment. We have a fenced in backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence and dogs are always supervised while outside. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates.
“Steven did a fantastic job with Duke! You can tell he was well taken care of. Duke was extremely happy-his tail was wagging like crazy when we picked him up. Duke also seemed to get along well with Steven’s pupper Annie. Steven was really personal and I will definitely use Steven again! It’s nice to have peace of mind leaving a family member for a few days! thanks Steven!”
“My dog loves staying with Debbie! This is the 2nd time I’ve booked with her and this was a long boarding for 10 days. I had no worries while I was gone. Daily updates, pictures and videos.”
“Loved Ariel! Easy to work with, great personality, clean home and quick communication. Kept sending us pictures of our cat and showed how well he was getting along with all the other animals. We will definitely be working with her again for our next vacation. Thanks Ariel!”
“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”
“We have a 12 week golden doodle puppy (Oakley) and had to leave him for the first time for a baseball tournament. Oakley had a blast playing with Kelsey’s dog, along with many outdoor adventures. We were nervous leaving him for the first time and she updated us frequently. We will 100% use her services again and highly recommend her!!”
“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She takes amazing care of my fur babies which includes taking them on lots of walks, which they love. She really helped me out when I was in a bind and was able to take my fur baby overnight with very short notice. I am so thankful to have found her!”
“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“Tara and Peter are amazing. I know this review is late. But better than never. King was pleased with their service and they go way over an beyond to ensure your baby is happy and safe. Thank y’all so very much.”
“Kaitlynn was great! I loved that she updated me on how my puppy was doing, i was a little nervous because she's anxious around people but wants attention at the same time. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Samantha was great for our cat. Jasmine can be shy and a little defensive at first but Samantha kept working with her and they became best friends. Everyday Samantha would send us pictures and a note. I highly recommend Samantha.”
“I'm so glad we found Nancy on Rover. She is really kind and compassionate with your animal whether it's a cat or a dog. I would highly recommend Nancy and we'll have her back when we travel next time. She was very good with the communication which is a plus. She let us know exactly what was going on every day and how things were going back at the old homestead. Thank you Nancy! I could travel with peace of mind.”
“Taylor is an excellent pet sitter! We are so very pleased with her loving and caring attention to our pups. Plus her communication with us while we were away was outstanding and provided much peace of mind.”
About: I grew up taking care and watching pets. I have mainly worked with dogs and cats. I have been relied on to walk and feed pets for friends and family since I was young. I’m currently working part time evenings and weekends. I have availability during the day throughout the week to come walk your furry friends, let them out to go potty, or just play with them in the house so their day isn’t as lonely. I have a very large fenced in yard that has never had a issue accommodating my 90lbs Flat Coat. I am used to dealing with all different size dogs and can be sure keep them safe while I’m in your home or out on a walk.
“Katrina checked in on Niles and Melody as we agreed on, sending updates and photos throughout the booking. I appreciate her attentiveness to them as she noted their demeanor and behaviors. This is reassuring when we are away. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional sitter don’t hesitate to reach out to Katrina. I know I’ll continue to schedule my trips around her availability.”
“Amanda was amazing. It was my first time using Rover and in a pinch and she exceeded my expectations. Kept me updated with pictures & even let me know when things got low with supplies. I would definitely use Amanda again in the future.”
“Olivia did an amazing job with our skittish cat. It takes a lot for him to warm up to people, and he clearly liked her — which says a lot. She was responsive, followed all directions, sent updates and pictures, and was very friendly. We felt completely comfortable while we were away and would absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own six dogs as well as others, and I’ve worked professionally in a doggy daycare setting. In addition, I’ve fostered animals and have experience working with horses, so I’m comfortable around a wide range of animal types. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I truly understand how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your fur babies will always be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I currently work part-time while caring for my own dogs, and I offer dog walking and drop-in visits on a part-time basis due to my schedule. However, during the time I’m with your dog, I promise to provide them with plenty of attention, care, and love. With my flexibility, I’m able to stop by for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive looking after your fur babies, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer part-time dog walking and drop-in visits, and during my time with your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love. I can crate your dog if needed, handle feeding, and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and settled while you’re away. For walks, I bring my own water and treats (if you don’t provide them or allergy restrictions), so your dog stays happy and hydrated. I’ll also ask detailed questions about your pet beforehand so I fully understand their routine, needs, and preferences—ensuring they receive the best possible care.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover; I have cared for my own pets most of my life, and did my first ever (non-family) pet sitting job when I was about 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. My husband and I currently have a dog and cat indoors, along with a pair of cats and fifteen ducks outside. My current pup, Abby, has taught me a lot about dog body language and behavior, so I'm better equipped than ever to interact with anxious dogs. I work full time, but can still provide house sitting services if you're comfortable with me being away during the day Monday-Friday, and can provide drop in and walking services early mornings/evenings during the week. Most weekend days I can be available all day. I'll be sure that I have and understand any instructions you have for your pets to ensure that they get the care they expect and deserve. I've also just completed a PetTech first aid and CPR class to be sure I'm able to keep your pets as safe as possible.
“Morgan was great with my cat, and really got him to warm up to her. She was very communicative, prompt, and responsive during the visits, overall a great experience and I would recommend Morgan to anyone!”
About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog - sitting experience for our little Frenchie, Caillou! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in loving, attentive hands. We received thoughtful updates and photos; we could tell he was happy, comfortable, and truly cared for all weekend. Caillou came home relaxed, well cared for, and clearly adored - always the best sign. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was treated like part of the family, not just watched, but genuinely loved. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely trust them again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Very enthusiastic about meeting our dog. Showed us the backyard and inside of the house. Sent several pictures and a few pictures. Yoshi was very happy looking and definitely enjoyed his stay. Will use again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since i was under 10 years old! I volunteered at an animal shelter and know how to help train! I currently am working from home so I have plenty of time to care of animals , train with them, and play with them as well! I myself have a half fenced in yard. I have a lovely corgi/aussie dog for your pup to play with! I can also crate if you need!
“Brandon was great with my mom’s dog Cassie. He sent pictures and updates, putting us at ease! He has a great set up for these dogs and I was comfortable leaving her with him! Will definitely use him again should the need arise!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages since I was 18 years old. I had an elder dog that I had to put down recently and I love them so much! Happy to help with any medications or injections that are needed. Just would need a refresher in the injections. If you have any questions or would like to know more about me and my family please don't hesitate to ask. I am available all day most days. I am home 24/7. Outside of just running errands. I have 1 dog and 1 cat that I already take care of daily. So adding on a couple more doesn't hurt. Your pets have free range of the house as long as they are well mannered. My backyard is fenced with a 6ft privacy fence. My cat and dog are both on vectra for flea treatment. They are welcome anywhere in my house.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i had my first dog in the first grade. A white Samoyed. When she was 3 she has 7 puppies! I was obsessed with them. We sold 6 and kept one. So we had 2 big white Samoyed’s that I had the responsibility of raising and attending to. They were my whole world. I’m always the first to be asked to watch someone’s dog because if there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s loving on dogs. I now have a mini dachshund who i love so much. I have experience with puppies, big dogs, little dogs, and senior dogs. I’m able to train puppies and care for senior dogs who would need more help in their day to day activities such as meds, frequent potty breaks, and patience. I also had an internship with the lake humane society in high school and have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs/cats who could use some extra love. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 8 year old who is in school and 1 year old who both love dogs I figured i could help out some dog momma or daddies who aren’t able to be home with them all day. I am able to let your dog out every couple hours. And even take them for brief walks. We have plenty of dog toys to share, bully sticks (while supervised), treats, and extra dog bowls if needed. My husband is a realtor so is home most of the time if i am not. I crate our dog at home when we leave. I also have a camera just in case to make sure she’s okay while we’re gone. We moved so we don’t have a fenced in yard anymore. But had leads if they want to stay outside for a longer period of time. I also live next to my parents who have a fenced in yard where i could take them if you feel more comfortable with that.
“Amanda, Aaron, and their precious pups are wonderful! ???? Our 12 week old little girly has been socialized with all ages, shapes, and sizes of people, but not with other furry friends! Well, She had a daycare day today! She was nervous and shy at first, but then couldn’t care less about me when I came to pick her up!??♀️She loved playing and hanging out with new friends! Amanda updated me and sent me photos throughout the day! They have their house set up so they can separate the dogs if need be, and she took them out one at a time so as not to have them wrestling around in the wet mud, etc. I appreciate that! ☺️ I can tell Amanda and Aaron love dogs- we are so thankful! ?????”

About: ✨ Personalized Cat Care ✨ Hello, friends and fur babies! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have been a trusted Rover sitter since May 2023. While I grew up around dogs and volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, my professional pet-sitting journey has naturally led me to specialize in personalized, high-quality cat care. I’ve had the opportunity to care for cats of all personalities and needs, including multi-cat households, senior cats, and shy or anxious kitties. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed care routines, and providing patient, attentive support tailored to each cat’s temperament. My approach focuses on consistency, comfort, and enrichment. Each visit is intentional and unhurried, with thoughtful attention given to interactive play, mental stimulation, cozy companionship, and plenty of affection—always respecting your cat’s individual boundaries and preferences. If you’re traveling this holiday season and want peace of mind knowing your cat is receiving attentive, personalized care in the comfort of their own home, I’d love to connect. 🐾🤍 I am currently working full-time as a nanny and part-time as a bartender at a local restaurant. My schedule can be busy, but I am very flexible and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Please feel free to message me to discuss your schedule—I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve! I will care for your pet as if they were my own! I primarily offer drop-in visits and am highly detail-oriented and attentive when it comes to following instructions. My goal is always to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in the care I provide. For first-time bookings, a scheduled “meet and greet” is required. This helps prevent any miscommunication about expectations, ensures your pet is comfortable with me, and confirms that I’m a good fit for your family.
“Kyle was absolutely wonderful! He helped me and my family out in a pinch!! He treated our dogs like his own and was an amazing communicator! He went out of his way to pick up our girls and sent many pictures. Highly recommend and we will use him again! 😊”
About: Hi, I’m Lora! I have experience with a wide range of dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from larger breeds like labs and huskies to including smaller, high-energy or more timid dogs who may need a little extra patience. I live in a house with a yard and lead an active lifestyle, so your dog will get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention based on their needs. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable, and I always aim to keep your dog comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My current routine is mainly focused on keeping up with grad school. I am enrolled full time in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at John Carroll University. I have classes 3x a week for 2.5-3 hours. This would be the only time I would need to leave your pet(s) alone. I live in a 2 story home within walking distance of a park suitable for dogs. I do not have any personal pets in my home. If you are looking for me to host, I live alone so it would just be your pet(s) and me. I will be respectful of not having guests over when I am caring for your pet(s) to ensure they’re given proper attention and feel comfortable in their environment. I have a partially fenced back yard and my front yard is not fenced.

About: I love animals, and do have my own pets. I know what it’s like being a pet parent and just needing to make sure your fur baby gets the love and attention they need. I work from home and can work pretty much anywhere. So my availability is very open to meet your needs. I work M-F and have weekends off. My job is to make your life easier and make sure your pets are safe and loved. I will follow any rules you provide. I do not allow children to approach dogs while walking for everyone’s safety.
About: Ive taken care of all sorts of dogs my entire life, whether theyre my own, family friends, or volunteering at shelters. I especially have a lot of experience dealing with scared or anxious dogs, this is because all of my pets are rescued from bad situations so I have learned over time how to read their body language and act exactly how they need to be comfortable. I am very available during the summer months so if you reach out I am more than sure that I will be able to work something out with you! For dog walking if there is a neighborhood I will happily walk your dog in that neighborhood. However if it is not available I have my car set up to keep your dog safe in the backseat, granted that theyre ok being in a car, this way I can take your dog to a nearby park to walk. If your dog is not comfortable being in a car and there is not a neighborhood set up, im sure we can work something out! I always bring anything and everything your dog could need on a short walk such as a water bowl, bags, extra leashes, and treats.
About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.
About: I've been caring for a variety of pets my entire life and have a passion for helping animals of all shapes and sizes.

I can even check in on your precious cargo holidays or weekends I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to run around in. I do have cats in my home who were introduced and lived with our pooch until her passing recently. I prefer to home sit in your home due to the fact I have 5 cats and 2 dogs and it may be overwhelming
About: My parents are also animal lovers, so I have had many different dogs growing up from Great Danes to Teacup Chihuahuas! My first dog was a Golden Retriever named Roxy! She made me fall in love with animal care which is when I pursued positions working at boarding facilities, vet clinics, and animal shelters. These positions gave me plenty of experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I also learned correct ways to administer medications and deal with animals that may be in distress. I currently am in grad school and have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My field season is in the spring, so I may have limited availability. I am very trustworthy. I understand that my only job is to come and offer the care and love to your pets while you are not available. Most of my time will be spent giving my full attention to your loved one’s! If your pet is not the social type or I need to be at your house for a long period of time, I have many hobbies (journaling, reading, crocheting, etc.), and I am also in school to receive my masters degree in Biology, so I have homework or materials I can bring to entertain myself if needed.
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, etc. I have a background in animal 4H and am still a club advisor. I work night shift with fluctuating days off but am able to fit pet care into my day after work and before I go into work. I can take care of your animals in your home and flex my schedule to best meet your needs. I am an active person and can walk dogs, clean litter boxes and provide food and water.

“Marley has a home away from home with Megan & the boys & Gus! I love the pictures she is always sending us! Seems like this weekend was “party time” with the doggies! They all looks so happy! We were blessed to find Megan & her family!”
“This was our doggie’s first time with Heather and she loved her. Heather’s dogs are very calm so our dog was comfortable (and snuggly) with the humans and the dogs. She was super happy when we came home and not at all anxious. We’ll definitely call her again if we need to!”
“Awesome! She was accommodating, pleasant to work with and I felt confidant that my pup was well taken care of. Gina stayed in communication during my time away and was responsive to my texts and questions. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Haley was an amazing host! Very communicative and kept us informed through the entire visit. Our Copper really seemed to enjoy his weekend stay! We will definitely use Haley’s services again! 5 ⭐️”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my entire life, including pet sitting for neighbors and friends. Growing up, we mostly had large breeds dogs, making me uniquely qualified for watching large breeds. My parents’ Newfie is a common household guest. We currently have a Beagle and a Golden Retriever who love making new friends! My husband and I both work from home so we are able to provide constant love and attention throughout the day and can provide lots of potty breaks if requested. At most, dogs may be alone for an hour or two for errands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take extra precautions to ensure a secure and comfortable environment. We have a fenced in backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence and dogs are always supervised while outside. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates.
“Steven did a fantastic job with Duke! You can tell he was well taken care of. Duke was extremely happy-his tail was wagging like crazy when we picked him up. Duke also seemed to get along well with Steven’s pupper Annie. Steven was really personal and I will definitely use Steven again! It’s nice to have peace of mind leaving a family member for a few days! thanks Steven!”
“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”
“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She takes amazing care of my fur babies which includes taking them on lots of walks, which they love. She really helped me out when I was in a bind and was able to take my fur baby overnight with very short notice. I am so thankful to have found her!”
“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“Tara and Peter are amazing. I know this review is late. But better than never. King was pleased with their service and they go way over an beyond to ensure your baby is happy and safe. Thank y’all so very much.”
“Kaitlynn was great! I loved that she updated me on how my puppy was doing, i was a little nervous because she's anxious around people but wants attention at the same time. Will definitely be booking again!”
“We are returning customers and when we were planning for an out-of-town trip, there was no question of where to go for boarding for our pup. I was confident that he would be in good hands and enjoying himself in a comfortable and fun atmosphere while we were away. We are very thankful for her great care--thanks again, Katie!!”
“Mike and his family (2-legged and 4-legged) are wonderful. It was my first experience using Rover and Mike is a wonderful representative for your company. They cared for my new rescue Ronnie who is very timid. Mike has a wonderful fenced-in backyard where Ronnie enjoyed romping with Mike's dogs Pickle and Snoopy his home is very dog-friendly, comfortable, and cozy and Ronnie made himself right at home. I received daily photos which gave me the reassurance that Ronnie was enjoying wonderful care. I even remarked to Mike that I hoped Ronnie would want to come home with me. Thank you again, Mike and family. You are wonderful people and thank you for the excellent care you gave my Ronnie. He's been resting all day from his adventure with you. God bless! Dora”
