“Rachel and her husband were absolutely lovely from our meet and greet to Nora’s entire stay. She sent daily updates and took time to make sure our girl was comfortable. We will definitely be using them again. THANK YOU!”
“Monica was really great with my Shiloh. She made sure to send me lots of photos and it looks like Shiloh had such a great time. She's super sweet and kind. I felt really relieved that Shiloh had such a great time.”
“I don’t even have words! Kelsey and her family are absolutely amazing! We’ve used several Rover sitters and no one even compares to this family. Tucker suffers from separation anxiety and you wouldn’t know it when he’s with their family. Kelsey is the sweetest and her husband is great also. They were patient and so sweet during our meet and greet. Thank you so much Kelsey and Family!! ❤️”
“We traveled from Pittsburgh to Marion for a family wedding and needed someone to watch our dog Paddington during the ceremony and reception, and Jennifer was wonderful! We got to meet her adorable Bulldog, Diesel, which was a great bonus. Jennifer's communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and sharing photos so we could fully enjoy the celebration without worry. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Loni and her family were so welcoming to my puppy! I had so much peace of mind in leaving him with them. She updated me and sent pictures. He was able to go in her fenced in backyard which I know he absolutely loved!! I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home because I knew he had such a nice time with Loni, her family and their dogs. Would 100% recommend to friends and family. I WILL be bringing my dog back to her!”
“Alexandria is wonderful! She took incredible care of Lucky, providing frequent updates and photos that kept my mind at ease. It was clear from the start that Lucky was in great hands and felt right at home throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend Alexandria for anyone needing a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“Emily and Nicholas were wonderful with me and my lab mix puppy. They were so friendly and checked with me if they had any doubts about any part of Penny's care or stay. I got multiple pictures per day and the puppy was obviously having a blast. I will definitely be using both Rover and Emily and Nicholas again.”
“Emily was very attentive to Mishmish's needs! She sent lots of pictures and treated him like part of her furry family. I absolutely would recommend Emily to anyone looking to board their dog in a private home.”
“Maria did great with Bear. We were very uneasy about leaving him for the first time and she was so wonderful about sending us pictures and updates. She was so positive even though I’m sure, as a puppy, it wasn’t easy! We were so glad to have Bear have great care while we were gone.”
“Our pup has stayed with their family multiple times, & each time I feel truly so lucky that we found them!! They are everything you could want in a dog sitter- kind, reliable, communicative, trustworthy, caring. They treat our pup like one of their own. We are so so lucky to have them!!”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Nicole was so amazing with our dog, Nellie! This was our first Rover experience, so of course I was nervous, and Nicole sent frequent photos and updates of Nellie. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Kristine was our first ever Rover experience. She and her family were so loving and engaged with our dog. She sent daily updates and pictures and went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was having a great time while we were away. We intend to reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone. So much care and kindness!”
“Tina, the dog whisperer! The first time I met Tina at our meet and greet, I could tell how experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate she is. She took extra care to get all information to make sure Eido would feel un-afraid and as comfortable as possible in a new environment. Eido had the absolute best time with Tina and her 2 pups. He was loved and cared for as one of her own. I appreciated the picture of Eido with an update that he was settled in and having a good time. It really eased the mind of an over-protective Mom. When I came to pick him up the next day, he wasn't ready to come home because he was still running and playing. I very highly recommend Tina! It is like a home away from home. Very happy to have found her!”
“Alayna is awesome! She made sure to update us everyday with cute pictures and made sure our girl was well cared for. Phoebe had so much fun with Rico and Titan and cannot wait to come back! Thank you Alayna for being a great sport even when we mixed up our pickup time :) 10/10 stars”

“Monica was the best! Even though I just moved into my place and still have boxes everywhere she didn't mind at all. She took good care of my kitties scoop the litter box and everything looked just like I left it when I came home. She even went above and beyond and washed the sheets she slept in and left me clean sheets so I could easily put them on and go to bed after a long day of traveling. I highly recommend her and would use her again and probably will!”

You can tell Brittany genuinely loves animals. I 10000% recommend her and will definitely be using her again! 💕”
About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!
About: What sets me apart is heart-led care—personalized attention, reliable routines, and genuine love that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. Rest assured your pet gets everything they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and individualized attention, ensuring each pet receives consistent care, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I offer a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of safe roaming, a calm pet-only home with no other free roaming animals or children, and a clean, non-smoking environment.
“Makayla did an outstanding job, We were away on vacation for a whole week and had her look in on the animals/house twice a day. She proved herself to be very loving and responsible! She was able to follow a detailed list of rules and responsibilities & my animals took to her very quickly which is especially unusual for my cat! Highly recommend 10/10!”
About: I've taken care of my late dog Freckles for 14 years. Walks and feedings every day. Played with her as a puppy. I'm available any time except Thursday and Friday nights until 9 pm as I have a scheduled job during that time. I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggo. I will occasionally go out just for groceries. Food, water, lots of pets, cuddles and playtime. I want to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfy during your absence. Dog walks will be daily.
“Before working with Amanda, Ranger was reactive and unsure of new people, so finding someone to watch him was stressful. Now he absolutely loves staying with her. She understands his personality and keeps things structured but fun, which helps him stay calm and confident. Amanda updates me throughout his stay and even keeps up with his training while we’re gone. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and better than ever. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!”

About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love! Your pup must be good with kids and animals as we have two young boys who absolutely love animals and a miniature Australian Shepherd, who will play well with any dog! There are also two barn cats on the property who keep to themselves for the most part. I will send update pictures daily, so you can be assured that your pup is doing great. We can’t wait to host your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom so I can be extremely flexible with schedule and be available for your pet most of the time and attend to the needs of your specific pet. I will be sure to feed your pet as often as they are used to at home and with the food you provide. I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!
“Maria was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was super friendly, responsible, and really communicative the whole time. She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my pup was happy and well cared for. Maria truly treated him like her own. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who’s trustworthy, caring, and easy to talk to!”
“Alayna was AMAZING! She watch my brand new pup on super short notice and took such good care of my girl. She updated me all day and clearly knows what she’s talking about when it comes to animals! I’m so happy with my experience and will absolutely have her care for Libby again 🫶🏼”
About: Hey, I’m Jonathan! I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life, and today I’m the proud owner of two playful Labs. I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you can trust with your furry family—so I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just good company, I’m here to keep tails wagging. I work from home Monday–Friday, 9 to 6, which gives me flexible availability to care for pets throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at ease. I supervise closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure they’re never left without care.

About: I care for dogs because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—it’s not just a job for me, it’s something I look forward to every day. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re with me. I live in an area with easy access to walking trails, and daily walks are a big part of my routine. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment, not just quick potty breaks. I also have experience caring for puppies and can help reinforce basic training during their stay, such as leash walking, routines, and positive behaviors. I’m patient and consistent, and I understand how important structure is—especially for younger dogs. Overall, I treat every dog like my own and focus on giving them attention, activity, and a calm, caring environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and being outdoors. Dogs in my care get regular walks, attention, and a consistent routine. I’m flexible and can adjust to each dog’s needs. Dogs are allowed to freely walk around in the house. I always make sure to leash them when we go explore the world outside. The walking trails in my neighborhood are well paved and safe.

I would recommend Kristine’s services 100 times over if I could!!😊♥️🐾”

“Anna is always super helpful! I occasionally book with her to check in on my cat, Minnie, when I’m out of town. I also book with her to walk my dog Luka on days I’m gone at the office or plan to be gone for more than a few hours. She is great with both of them!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m the owner of Unleashed Peaks, a full-time dog training and behavior coaching business built on calm communication, structure, and trust. Along with training, I also offer structured boarding and daycare in a peaceful, home-style environment where dogs can relax, play, and learn safely. Because I’m a trainer first, everything I do — from playgroups to potty breaks — is intentional. Dogs get enrichment, exercise, and clear routines that build confidence while keeping things fun and low-stress. I follow LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principles to make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and respected. I love working with all types of dogs, especially those who need a little extra support or structure while you’re away. Whether your pup is here for the day or a full board and train, they’ll be treated like family. Quirks, goofiness, and all. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted dog who’s had a fulfilling stay and maybe learned a few new skills along the way. I’m home full-time and spend most of my day working with dogs through my business, Unleashed Peaks. Because training and structured care are what I do every day, your dog is never left unattended for long and always part of a calm, consistent routine. Drop-offs and pick-ups are flexible - mornings and early afternoons usually work best, but I’m happy to coordinate around your schedule. Whether your pup is here for daycare or boarding, they’ll get a balance of play, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care stay in a calm, structured, and enrichment-based environment that helps them feel secure and relaxed. My home is designed with safety in mind, with separate rest areas, and consistent supervision. We have 5 acres of land. Our fence is in progress right now but we have never had an issue! As a full-time trainer, I understand canine body language and group dynamics deeply. I make sure each dog’s play, rest, and social time match their comfort level. New dogs are introduced slowly and respectfully so they can settle in at their own pace. I keep routines predictable and communication clear so dogs always know what to expect. Whether they are here for a day or an extended stay, every dog is treated like family: safe, understood, and cared for.
“Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!”
About: I have experience handling, training, and caring for dogs of all ages. As well as, but not limited to, cats, birds, hamsters, Guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, and turtles! I work part time so I have plenty of time to devote to your furry loved ones. I love animals so I would be more than happy to welcome them into my home! I have one friendly dog and cat as well as a back yard. I follow all care instructions given carefully and will love and play with your beloved pet.

They were patient and so sweet during our meet and greet. Thank you so much Kelsey and Family!! ❤️”
“We traveled from Pittsburgh to Marion for a family wedding and needed someone to watch our dog Paddington during the ceremony and reception, and Jennifer was wonderful! We got to meet her adorable Bulldog, Diesel, which was a great bonus. Jennifer's communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and sharing photos so we could fully enjoy the celebration without worry. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Loni and her family were so welcoming to my puppy! I had so much peace of mind in leaving him with them. She updated me and sent pictures. He was able to go in her fenced in backyard which I know he absolutely loved!! I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home because I knew he had such a nice time with Loni, her family and their dogs. Would 100% recommend to friends and family. I WILL be bringing my dog back to her!”
“Alexandria is wonderful! She took incredible care of Lucky, providing frequent updates and photos that kept my mind at ease. It was clear from the start that Lucky was in great hands and felt right at home throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend Alexandria for anyone needing a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“Emily and Nicholas were wonderful with me and my lab mix puppy. They were so friendly and checked with me if they had any doubts about any part of Penny's care or stay. I got multiple pictures per day and the puppy was obviously having a blast. I will definitely be using both Rover and Emily and Nicholas again.”
“Emily was very attentive to Mishmish's needs! She sent lots of pictures and treated him like part of her furry family. I absolutely would recommend Emily to anyone looking to board their dog in a private home.”
“Maria did great with Bear. We were very uneasy about leaving him for the first time and she was so wonderful about sending us pictures and updates. She was so positive even though I’m sure, as a puppy, it wasn’t easy! We were so glad to have Bear have great care while we were gone.”
“Our pup has stayed with their family multiple times, & each time I feel truly so lucky that we found them!! They are everything you could want in a dog sitter- kind, reliable, communicative, trustworthy, caring. They treat our pup like one of their own. We are so so lucky to have them!!”
“Nicole was so amazing with our dog, Nellie! This was our first Rover experience, so of course I was nervous, and Nicole sent frequent photos and updates of Nellie. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Alayna is awesome! She made sure to update us everyday with cute pictures and made sure our girl was well cared for. Phoebe had so much fun with Rico and Titan and cannot wait to come back! Thank you Alayna for being a great sport even when we mixed up our pickup time :) 10/10 stars”
“Rachelle was great! She provided a great space for my dog to safely play both inside and outside. She provided photos, videos, and updates while I was away so I knew my dog was in good hands.”
“Alexandra took great care of Autzen! Her pictures made me smile (and laugh) and helped me know that our little man was being well taken care of! We’ll definitely schedule more sleepovers for our boy with Alexandra!”
