“Fern will definitely be going back to Vicki’s again. I never had any doubt about my dog being cared for and loved while staying with Vicki and her family. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting.”

“Gail was amazing! I am always nervous leaving my pup but she calmed my nerves and sent pictures during his stay! She was flexible and gracious when my travel did not go as planned and I needed to extend my booking. I will be using her services again! Thank you, Gail!”

“Athena was amazing with my pup while I was out of the country. Even though I didn’t have service she sent lots of pictures and videos so that when I could log on I got to see how well he was doing. She was very mindful and knowledgable about dogs that might have “issues” with anxiety, high energy levels, or anything else that may require special care. I am so happy I found her to watch him because I had peace of mind that he was in great hands while I was unreachable.”

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She really put my mind at ease during my trip. The pics and videos she sent along with the text updates were so awesome. I know my boys had fun and can’t wait to schedule with her again!”

“Kristin and her family were a great fit for our 4pack of crazy. Everyone was happy and even a little tired on the ride home. A clear sign that they had been "living their best life" as fur babies. Highly recommend and will definitely use again in the future.”

“Melissa was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible with our schedule and responded right away when I reached out looking for someone to watch Bruno. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept me updated with photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bruno also had a great time playing with her dog—they got along wonderfully! It was obvious he was well cared for and comfortable during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Melissa again, and she’ll definitely be one of my first choices the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Our dogs have stayed with Melissa a few times now and they always have a wonderful time. They are very well cared for and Melissa does a great job of communicating with us daily to let us know how our babies are doing!”

“Aimee did an incredible job taking care of my dog! From the meet-and-greet we knew it would be a great match, but she sent lots of photos and gave my dog so much love I didn’t worry for a second while I was on vacation for a week. I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”

“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!!”


“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”

“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”

“AMAZING FAMILY. They were such a great choice for my girl. All the updates they sent were so awesome. Let alone you can just see the comfort, happiness & fun in my girl. I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home because she was loving it so much! Ava seemed to fit right in with the pack as well as feel right at home with them. Out of all the Rovers we’ve had this by far has been my favorite! ❤️ 🥰”

About: I have helped take care of friends' and neighbors' dogs/ pets for several years. I am very responsible and dependable. My husband and I have previously fostered dogs as well. I am currently working full time but have some time on the weekends to love on pets! My (human) girls would also love to help your fur babies play until they're worn out! We have a large yard that would provide plenty of room to run around. We do not have a fence so we would not be able to safely care for a dog that would take off.
“This was Rosy’s first stay away from home so we were a little anxious (Rosy is our 1 year old mini doodle) but Kirsten and her husband couldn’t have been more wonderful and welcoming! Rosy was loved and cared for while we were away for the weekend, and we received text updates and photos that reassured us that she was in great hands! We would highly recommend and cannot thank you enough, Kirsten!”

“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.”

“I cannot recommend Aricka enough! She took such great care of my animals. She had amazing communication sending pics and updates. When we came to pick them up my pup didn’t want to leave. She’s the best rover and the reason I want to keep using rover! I’m so grateful for her taking such great care of them in such short notice.”

“Jessica took great are of our dog while we were away. The daily photos she sent showed that Sundance was comfortable in his temporary surroundings, which gave us peace of mind. She has a nice fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoors time. She was available for meet/greet and drop off/pick up. All went smoothly!”

“Alicia was wonderful. She was super prompt and did a great job checking in on our two cats. One of our cats is diabetic and needs insulin. I felt super comfortable knowing that Alicia was looking after them! Also loved the pictures she would send for each visit!”


“Our cats love Lexi. This is a cat that never came to a stranger when called. To our surprise, Goldie heard her and came out from the back room, smelled her hand and wanted to be petted. Lexi completes her assignments and I can’t say enough for the kindness she has shown Goldie and Whiskers our cats. I do t have to worry about when Lexi takes care of the cats. We will continue to use her as long as she will let us.”

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.

“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.”

About: I have raised my dog from birth and now in his senior years. I enjoy petting and walking and the bonding . I work from home so they will had a good companion to be wit them while you're away. I am home daily and will enjoy your pet staying near by. We take outside breaks in the morning, afternoon and evening. I also find play time and lots of petting. I walk my dog on a leash and will do the same for yours. You can board your pet at my home or I can visit in yours.
“So good with Maple's puppy energy, her home is so dog-friendly with an amazing back yard for safe wandering and playing. So grateful my puppy can have a great time with her new friends at Kathy's home while I am working!”

“Just wonderful! Stephanie made us feel so comfortable leaving our new dog for the day! We are first time dog owners and our dog has separation anxiety so we were worried about leaving him with someone else for the first time. Stephanie is so kind and welcoming and VERY good with dogs! She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day so we knew our dog was having a good time and getting along with the other pups. We will be bringing him back soon!”

About: I've been around animals my entire life. Growing up, my family had two litters of Old English Sheepdogs. While I wasn't involved in the breeding process, I helped care for all of the puppies until they went to their forever homes, along with our three adult Sheepdogs. I also grew up around our family's three horses and have had two cats over the years. Today, I'm the proud pet parent of two Huskies—my boys, who I lovingly call my babies because they're truly part of my family. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. I have a flexible schedule and work from home, which allows me to be available whenever you need dependable care for your pet. My flexible routine gives me plenty of time to provide your furry family member with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Pets are family too. I treat them with great care and follow any instructions provided. I can go on walks, play, have set feeding schedules, whatever is needed. I also love taking photos so sending them to clients would be a must. I want to keep everyone updated on their fur baby's experience with me.
About: Hi! I’m Corey — a pet-loving guy who truly understands how deeply animals become family. I’ve spent the last 15 years caring for dogs, including two beloved seniors who recently passed in 2021 and 2025. Betty, an English Bulldog who was “thicker than a bowl of oatmeal,” and Sadie, my blue-tick coonhound/beagle mix who was a true treat connoisseur with a heart of gold. Losing them has been incredibly hard… but also a powerful reminder of just how special the bond with a pet really is. Caring for other people’s pets has become a form of healing and therapy for me. I miss the snoring, the wagging tails, the playtime, and the pure happiness a dog brings into a home. Being around animals fills me with joy, and I pour that love right back into the pups I watch. I have hands-on experience with: • Senior dog care (medications, patience, mobility support, and gentle comfort) • High-energy dogs who need walks and structured play • Bulldogs, hounds, and every personality in between • Smaller breeds like Chihuahuas and Dachshunds Your dog isn’t just a “dog” to me — they’re family, someone’s whole heart. And while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same gentleness, humor, consistency, and affection that I gave to Betty and Sadie. I work from home and can provide exceptional care! Your dog is my main concern during the day and evening and will be spoiled and loved! I will treat your pet as my own and follow all instructions provided to me about your dog(s) routine and schedule. I truly care and want to make your experience easy and stress free.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.
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.
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.
“Rikki is absolutely wonderful! She provided such loving and attentive care for our puppy, and we are so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us. It was incredibly important to find someone we could trust with our newly adopted family member, and she exceeded our expectations. We could tell he was happy, safe, and well cared for in her home.”

“Wonderful sitter and her dogs are lovely. I have a teeny toy poodle and he is Captains little buddy. Captain is such a sweety and begs for you to let him play with your pups. My dog gets excited every time he sees Marie when we pull up on her drive way. Will repeatedly take my dog to her house for playdates and needed dog sitting. She is also very accommodating and flexible with bad schedules!”

“Kristen was great. We are from PA and needed someone for a class reunion evening. We had booked well in advance but did not have realistic drop off or pickup times. She was very flexible and accommodating. My little guy liked her dogs, and that says a lot. Both she and her husband were friendly and courteous. I will use her again when we are in the area.”

About: Studied at The Ohio State Agricultural Technical Institute. I have previous experience working in a dog kennel at Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital. Am comfortable with injections and giving other forms of medication via pill and topical. I have experience working with nervous and excited dogs, young and elderly, even disabled. My number one priority is the animal's safety, after that it's all about When a pet comes to stay at my home they receive lots of belly scratches, the occasional treat (if you allow), and play time. My number one priority is safety, I have baby gates and unsafe items out of reach. I have two friendly elderly dogs, a cat, and two well behaved children. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate time each day for feeding, playtime, walks, and grooming to ensure my pet's well-being. In both my home and my clients' homes, I tailor my care to meet the specific needs of each pet. This includes feeding, grooming, exercise, and any necessary medical attention. I also prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for them to thrive in.
“Alexandra is a very nice person. We felt like we knew her right away. She was very concerned on doing things they way you asked she actually took notes. I knew right away my dog would be in safe hands as well as our home. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Alex was amazing. She was the perfect person to deal with our older, anxious dog. Alex was able to get him to walk for her and knew how to deal with his anxiety. She was flexible, understanding, and considerate. We will definitely call on Alex again!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn't just a job—it's my passion. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, cats, fish, birds, rabbits, small animals, and even some farm animals. My parents bred AKC Golden Retrievers, which gave me hands-on experience raising and caring for puppies from a young age. I also have experience caring for senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I'm a proud mom to an amazing 11-year-old son who loves animals just as much as I do. We also have a 35-pound Mini Goldendoodle named Scooby-Doo, who brings so much joy to our family and inspired the name of my pet care business. I'm comfortable administering medications and following each pet's individual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. During house sitting visits, I'm also happy to help with light household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, taking out the trash, and keeping an eye on your home. I believe every pet deserves exceptional care, love, and respect. Just as importantly, I believe great pet care is built on trust, communication, and reliability. My goal is to build lasting relationships with pet parents by providing dependable, compassionate care and treating every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm excited to share that I've officially made pet care my full-time career! I recently left my full-time job to focus on growing Scooby Doo Animal Care because caring for animals is truly my passion! 🥰 I'm a proud mom to an amazing 11-year-old son and a male Mini Goldendoodle named Scooby-Doo. I've been caring for animals since I was young and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, small animals, and farm animals. My parents bred AKC Golden Retrievers, giving me hands-on puppy experience, and I'm also comfortable administering medications and caring for senior pets with special needs. Now that pet care is my full-time focus, I have much more open availability! If you're looking for dependable, compassionate, and experienced care for your pets, I'd love the opportunity to help. Thank you for supporting my small business! I provide the best care to the animals I care for from playing with them with their favorite toys, taking animals for walks or giving them attention and cuddles.

I have plenty of references. I also own a few fur babies of my own, a Great Dane that is 4 and 2 cats ages 4 and 9 months! I would love to help care for your pets while you’re away and treat them as if they are my own. I’m available to do pet sitting over night in my home, dog walks and I’m available to come to your home as well for a few hours if needed. I’m always available every day of the week for pet sitting in my home! I’m available in the evenings for dog walks and the weekends I’m also available for dog walking and I can come to your hole for a few hours if care is needed anytime after 12:00 pm. I have a fenced yard so I have easy access to potty breaks/outdoor playtime. My community had a dog park located right across the street as well!(: a little bit about my family I have my 24 year old husband that works for USMC and a 2 year old daughter! A Great Dane, he is such a sweet gentle giant! And then two playful kitties!

“Fern will definitely be going back to Vicki’s again. I never had any doubt about my dog being cared for and loved while staying with Vicki and her family. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting.”

“Gail was amazing! I am always nervous leaving my pup but she calmed my nerves and sent pictures during his stay! She was flexible and gracious when my travel did not go as planned and I needed to extend my booking. I will be using her services again! Thank you, Gail!”

“Athena was amazing with my pup while I was out of the country. Even though I didn’t have service she sent lots of pictures and videos so that when I could log on I got to see how well he was doing. She was very mindful and knowledgable about dogs that might have “issues” with anxiety, high energy levels, or anything else that may require special care. I am so happy I found her to watch him because I had peace of mind that he was in great hands while I was unreachable.”

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She really put my mind at ease during my trip. The pics and videos she sent along with the text updates were so awesome. I know my boys had fun and can’t wait to schedule with her again!”

“Melissa was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible with our schedule and responded right away when I reached out looking for someone to watch Bruno. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept me updated with photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bruno also had a great time playing with her dog—they got along wonderfully! It was obvious he was well cared for and comfortable during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Melissa again, and she’ll definitely be one of my first choices the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Our dogs have stayed with Melissa a few times now and they always have a wonderful time. They are very well cared for and Melissa does a great job of communicating with us daily to let us know how our babies are doing!”


“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”

“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”

“AMAZING FAMILY. They were such a great choice for my girl. All the updates they sent were so awesome. Let alone you can just see the comfort, happiness & fun in my girl. I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home because she was loving it so much! Ava seemed to fit right in with the pack as well as feel right at home with them. Out of all the Rovers we’ve had this by far has been my favorite! ❤️ 🥰”

“I cannot recommend Aricka enough! She took such great care of my animals. She had amazing communication sending pics and updates. When we came to pick them up my pup didn’t want to leave. She’s the best rover and the reason I want to keep using rover! I’m so grateful for her taking such great care of them in such short notice.”

“Jessica took great are of our dog while we were away. The daily photos she sent showed that Sundance was comfortable in his temporary surroundings, which gave us peace of mind. She has a nice fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoors time. She was available for meet/greet and drop off/pick up. All went smoothly!”

“We are so grateful to have found you guys! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Coach and sending so many photos and updates! It was a bonus that your dogs are so sweet & they all got along. We will absolutely book w Josh again - we had total peace of mind while we were away.”

“Thank you so much for your great service! We loved the small polaroid picture with the fall décor and the "trick or treat" bag of treats you sent him home with! Thank you!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving Echo with Tricia overnight. Communication was amazing and she was very responsive to messaging and able to accommodate an overnight stay last minute. I would definitely consider using her services again.”

About: I love any type of animal and will provide it with the best care possible. We would go on long walks and play all day! Big, small, medium you name it I will love your dog or cat! I have been around dogs my whole life and would love to care for yours. I am currently a nurse in the area and use Rover when I am away at work so I would love to give back to the community and watch other pups while you are away! I know how difficult it is to find a trustworthy and reliable sitter and always want to treat your pups like my own! I will make sure to treat your home and pet with respect and follow all instructions left to properly care for your fur baby and make sure they get everything they need!

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
