“Cristi is an amazing sitter for my mini labradoodle doodle Bella. She sends me updates and pictures during Bella’s stay. I never have to worry when I’m away from home because I know Bella is in Cristi’s care and is being well taken care of. I highly recommend her services.”
“I loved getting the picture updates and seeing Apollo playing with the kids and other dog while we were away. It really helped knowing he was being cared for by a loving family and not just held in a kennel. Thank you so much and I hope you will care for Apollo again.”
“Madison and her sister were so great with our boys! Great back yard and we loved all the picture updates! No doubt in our minds that they were very loved and taken care of during our week vacation. So happy our boys now have a ‘home away from home’ :)”
“Karen is our dogs second mom. She is such a caring and kind provider for our senior dog. We are always able to leave knowing our sweet dog is in the best hands ever. She has a loving home and is someone who truly loves your four-legged family.”
“Exceptional sitter ! Elizabeth went above and beyond in her care for Tucker ! Very professional and did a great job communicating. Would definitely recommend !”
“We left our labradoodle with Rene during our week vacation. We loved receiving her pics and updates! Murphy was very well taken care of. I left notes about his usual day at home and she was happy to accommodate those things so he was a happy and comfortable guy. Murphy was just another family member at Rene’s house that week and I would be at ease leaving him again. She has a great set up for the dogs to enjoy the outside. When I was at their house dropping him off and picking him up, I could tell this was an animal loving family because they were all there smiling and willing to help the “move in” and adjustment of Murphy being away from home. 😊”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for 15 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic on kennel stuff and have administrated medication for both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time, and I’m in the process of starting my own business at home so I will be home mostly all day. At home I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to run. I have a car that I can take dogs to the park and walk as well as being able to get to clients houses. I take care of all animals as if they are my own.
“Shannon took excellent care of Astrid for the weekend. Since it was Astrid's first boarding experience, we weren't sure how she would do. Shannon played with Astrid , took her on multiple walks, and supervised her as Astrid met and socialized with other dogs. We loved the daily photo updates and the creative artwork and report card when we arrived to take her home!”
About: I’ve lived my entire life with dogs and I couldn’t imagine living a life without one. I’ve own various breeds and I’m a huge lover of all dogs. I have a house with a big fenced in back yard for your dog to roam, run, and play. I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby and treating it with love and care. I currently have 3 dogs of my own so multiple dogs are not an issue. I also work from home full time so there will always be somebody around. Hope you can trust me with your furry friends! I work from home full time so I’m always home caring for my 3 dogs. On a nice day you can even catch me sitting out back while I work and the dogs enjoy the fenced in back yard. I have a big fenced in back yard and 3 dogs of my own that I care for daily. My dogs are allowed on the couch and bed for extra cuddles and love.
“Joy was amazing with our senior dog, Betsy! She set up a meet and greet before Betsy’s stay to make sure Betsy felt comfortable at drop off. Joy sent frequent updates when we were out of town and Betsy had a great stay.”
About: Hi I’m Zoë! I love all animals, big and small and have been around them my whole life. >I have owned many different types of animals: dogs, cats, fish, a ferret, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, ect... >I have experience with a spectrum of ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I am good with puppies in training, as well as senior dogs who need accommodations. >Right now I have a dog (Bailey, 3), a farm cat, a fish, and also a flock of ducks. >I also offer yard clean up services and homemade dogfood! >I have been working for Rover since 2023 after I graduated from OSU >I moved to Fairfield County in 2024 I currently work part time at a greenhouse and run my own business. Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.
“Love leaving Oliver over there! Always sends pictures which I always like knowing how he’s doing. He comes back happy and gets to play with his pup. So accommodating and nice. Can’t recommend enough”
“Best Dog Sitters ever!! I would highly recommend. Very Clean Home. Friendly and made Bronco feel comfortable. They sent pictures of my puppy reassuring he was safe and in good hands! I can truly say I’ll be booking with them all the time! They made my Vacation a Breeze.”
“My husband and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Laura! She is an excellent communicator, and was flexible when we ran into traffic on our way to our dogs visit. Our dog loves her and her family and feels at home when he’s there! She is our go to sitter! Trustworthy, kind, and loves our dog like her own!”
“Dajon was great! He was able to watch my pup very last minute for a couple days. He sent pics and videos every day and made sure my pup was comfortable! I will definitely use him again in the future!”

“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”
“This was my first time ever using a petsitter. I was worried that with Lily needing a pill crushed up and added to her food that it was going to be hard to find someone. Chloe was amazing. I gave her all the instructions, showed her where everything was and she showed up on time for each meal. We take weekend trips here and there and I'm hoping this will be the start of a great connection for Lily and Mistletoe.”
“Charity is an amazing sitter! She takes care of my three kitties in amazing trash, and I know that they’re going to be treated well. I use her multiple times a year, and can’t be happier… Try her, you will like her!”
“Thelma is a nervous dog, Ashliegh did a great job letting Thelma get comfortable with her during the meet and greet. Judging by the photos, Thelma felt quite at ease during the drop in!”
About: Hello! I’m an animal lover through and through. I share my life with fish, dogs, cats, and a horse, so caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I worked as an equine veterinary technician for 3 years and have 10+ years of experience in animal care. I know every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s an energetic walk, a game of fetch, or extra snuggles on the couch, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I am currently working part time in the mornings as I work a regular job from 3pm - 11pm. I am looking for add some more love and cuddles to my week finding lasting pet and people friendships. I am currently not offering boarding at my home. I am able to care for your pets as you wish at your home within my allotted time before my evening job.
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a lifelong animal lover and current cat mom to two wonderful kitties. I’ve been caring for cats for years and understand just how special (and particular!) they can be. Whether your cat is playful, shy, sassy, or snuggly, I’m patient, gentle, and always respectful of their personality and comfort level.
About: I’ve had animals in my life from the beginning. Right now I have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 Guinea pigs, and a fish :) I love caring for them and want to get back into walking, so this is perfect! I stay overnight to dog sit, so I have tons of experience! I’m a college student working part-time, so i would like to spend as much time as possible with your pets! As long as you let me know what’s up, I’d be happy to be of service :) I have a fenced in yard on a not-busy street, so the dogs can play (and even bark) freely as they please. I just want them to have fun!
“Shelby does a great job with our dog! She has come multiple times and always does a great job with him and communicates with us about him. Our dog has anxiety and Shelby does amazing with calming him and comforting him when we are gone.”
About: I have owned dogs for 13 years and I have loved them all. Dogs bring me happiness and I love the idea of helping people who share that same happiness. I have taken care of three dogs at one time and so I am very comfortable with being around groups of dogs. I do have a full time job, but evenings I would be extremely flexible along with being available all day through out Saturday and Sunday. I have experience with all sizes of dogs so I am willing to work with any breed. I simply enjoy being around dogs. They are amazing animals and I can't think of a better way to spend my extra time then with these amazing animals that come in all shapes and sizes.
“Dory went above and beyond for our furry family members, staying around to ensure the pups were calm and safe feeling with all of the fireworks happening around the 4th of July. She was very prompt and dependable, and even freshened our duck’s water each day. She was a trooper during a power outage, and cleaned up an accident one of our older dogs had while we are away. She was very communicative and observant, and I felt she loved our girls just as much as we do. We highly recommend Dory! Th”

About: I have had animals my entire life so there is never a time where I wasn't around one. I also trust them more than people so therefore, they trust me more than most as well. I am a stay at home mom with 2 under 2 so I am always home and most likely available but I will probably have my children when I do any services on this app. I have 4 cats and 4 dogs of all colors and a variety of personalities so I am used to chaos. I have a fenced yard, pools and toys everywhere for my dogs to run around. My cats have their own room with all the beds and scratching posts they desire. I feed them on a timed schedule but have full water bowls all around the house for them to drink at their leisure all day. I have furniture set up specifically so they can look out windows and there are no rules when it comes to where they can sleep.
“This is my first time using Rover and Ashliegh was great to work with. My dog had a great time playing with her kids and she sent updated pictures often (which I appreciated). Happy to have found her!”

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and have always played a large part in taking care of them. With my love of pets I became a Veterinary Technician and I've worked in the Veterinary field for over 16 years. I've worked in general practice and emergency. Along with working in Vet Med I have always done petsitting. I have also taken care of rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and a bearded dragon! I have also had foster dogs and kittens and helped with rescue work. I do work full time so my availability during the week can be limited, especially during the day. I am available any time satrudays, sundays, and wednesdays. And I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays before 8am and after 6pm. I like to keep your pet's needs in mind. If they are a little more timid, then I will go slow and take the time for them to trust me. If they are active and ready to go, then we will have a fun time playing right off the bat. I will make sure I follow any directions or care instructions you leave for your pet. And I will always love and treat your pet like it is my own!
About: I treat every dog like family—because that’s how I care for my own! I’ve spent years caring for my dogs and those of friends and family, especially while they were out of town. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra patience and love. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow strolls, or high-energy playtime, I adjust to meet each dog’s unique needs. Your pup will be pampered, safe, and loved—just like they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I work part-time as a home health caregiver three days a week. On those days, I have a split schedule—just 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon, with a break in between. This gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Outside of those hours, my schedule is very open, allowing me to give your pet the love, attention, and care they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own—loved, pampered, and well cared for. I make sure they have a calm, clean, and secure environment, free of hazards and full of attention. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, from meal times and medication to play and potty breaks. I also send regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. With my background as a home health caregiver, being attentive, responsible, and trustworthy is second nature to me—qualities I bring to every pet I care for.
“This was my first time leaving my pup Reuben with a sitter and Zoe was just the sweetest! She made me feel so comfortable leaving Reuben with her! He seemed like he had a nice, relaxing day when I picked him up which was awesome because sometimes he can be a bit nervous!”
“Shannan is excellent at communist and was willing to work with me on drop off and pickup timing, which I really appreciated. Bonus points for having prior experience working at a doggie daycare. Really helped to facilitate a smooth transition for Serena. Best of all was the fact that Serena had a giant smile on her face when I came to pick her up! Thanks so much Shannan!!!”
“Jodi was great, very pleasant t, her husband as well. She treated my cuddle bug Jax like he was part of her family. Jax is very comfortable with her and always happy to see her and runs right to her. That feels so great to see as a pet parent. I was able to reach out to her whenever i needed to know how my baby pooch was doing and she sent videos. Jax just is very happy when he is there. I would definitely recommend Jodi and would definitely have her care for my baby again.”

About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.

“Isabelle was fantastic! Took the job last second when original plans fell through and left me in a bind while being out of town. Isabelle provided photos and status updates for each walk. Being a 1st time Rover user, I was nervous, but Isabelle made me feel like my dog was completely taken care of and helped ease my mind. Would 100% recommend her and I will rebook with her in the future when needed. THANK YOU AND GREAT JOB ISABELLE!”

“We are so thankful for Ashleigh! She is very patient with our dogs. Xena is slower to warm up to people and she just let Xena take her time to get comfortable with her.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and currently have two dogs of my own experience-wise, including raising one from a puppy. My first dog was a rescue who was a beloved member of my family until she passed away in 2024, which taught me a lot about patience, routine care, and caring for a dog through all stages of life. I also have a senior dog who is 12 years old, so I’m familiar with the extra attention and care older pets sometimes need. While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve spent time around cats while visiting friends and family and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. Each day I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on them, so caring for animals fits naturally into my schedule. Because I work part-time as a swim instructor in the mornings and have lighter hours outside of that, I have plenty of flexibility during the day and evening to care for other pets. On a weekly basis, I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and parts of the weekend, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to meet a pet’s needs and routine. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for pets. In my own home, I care for my dogs by keeping a clean, calm, and safe environment. I make sure they always have fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and regular exercise. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I prioritize keeping them comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home through drop-ins or walks, I respect each pet’s routine and follow all instructions carefully. I always make sure doors are secure, pets are safe before leaving, and I provide updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and spent years helping take care of them—feeding, walking, playing, and, of course, giving lots of love. In high school and after, I worked as a dog sitter for families in my neighborhood, building experience with a variety of breeds and personalities. These days, I’m a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties, so I’m very familiar with both dog and cat care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I always adapt to their needs and treat them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your pets. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and gentle with your furry family members. I’m excited to meet your pets and give them the same love and attention they get from you! I have availability all throughout the week including weekends! I’m usually available from early in the morning starting around 6:30 AM to the evening as late as 8-9 PM. I can take on walks, feed, water, etc on whatever schedule is best for you and your fur baby. I always want to make sure the cat/ and or dog feels as comfortable as possible when you are away.
About: I have 15 years of pet care experience. Growing up my grandmother always needed help with her cat and dog, whether it was feeding them or walking Spuds! I have experience in bathing both cats and dogs and I personally give my cats a quarterly wash-down. I am comfortable with administering topical ointments or giving shots if needed. I assisted many times with my local TNR program and have great experience with cats specifically. I am currently a part-time student and working an internship that is based on the EST time zone. So I am up early and ready to go at all hours. I am work from home and my classes are also online so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will always animal proof homes regardless if it’s mine or not. Pets having access to fresh water is always a must. Caring for pets is a case by case as all of them have their own personalities! If they need quiet, that’s cool or if they’re more rowdy I can get down with that too!

Im responsible and great at problem-solving and multitasking. I would be a great fit for your pet!
About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.
About: I’ve always been an animal person, I love all dogs and cats! Friends, family, and coworkers have relied on me watching, walking, feeding, and bathing their fur babies. I do work a full time job but I will always make time for your babies. I can take them for a walk and feed them in the morning and night, depending on the shift I work or if I’m off, I can let them out mid day as well. I have 2 spoiled cats, and they are super friendly with everyone. I have watched many animals (even goats!) for friends, family, and coworkers, which includes me walking, feeding, bathing, and letting them out. I will treat your fur baby as if they were mine!

“I loved getting the picture updates and seeing Apollo playing with the kids and other dog while we were away. It really helped knowing he was being cared for by a loving family and not just held in a kennel. Thank you so much and I hope you will care for Apollo again.”
“Madison and her sister were so great with our boys! Great back yard and we loved all the picture updates! No doubt in our minds that they were very loved and taken care of during our week vacation. So happy our boys now have a ‘home away from home’ :)”
“Karen is our dogs second mom. She is such a caring and kind provider for our senior dog. We are always able to leave knowing our sweet dog is in the best hands ever. She has a loving home and is someone who truly loves your four-legged family.”
“Exceptional sitter ! Elizabeth went above and beyond in her care for Tucker ! Very professional and did a great job communicating. Would definitely recommend !”
“We left our labradoodle with Rene during our week vacation. We loved receiving her pics and updates! Murphy was very well taken care of. I left notes about his usual day at home and she was happy to accommodate those things so he was a happy and comfortable guy. Murphy was just another family member at Rene’s house that week and I would be at ease leaving him again. She has a great set up for the dogs to enjoy the outside. When I was at their house dropping him off and picking him up, I could tell this was an animal loving family because they were all there smiling and willing to help the “move in” and adjustment of Murphy being away from home. 😊”
“Shannon took excellent care of Astrid for the weekend. Since it was Astrid's first boarding experience, we weren't sure how she would do. Shannon played with Astrid , took her on multiple walks, and supervised her as Astrid met and socialized with other dogs. We loved the daily photo updates and the creative artwork and report card when we arrived to take her home!”
About: I’ve lived my entire life with dogs and I couldn’t imagine living a life without one. I’ve own various breeds and I’m a huge lover of all dogs. I have a house with a big fenced in back yard for your dog to roam, run, and play. I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby and treating it with love and care. I currently have 3 dogs of my own so multiple dogs are not an issue. I also work from home full time so there will always be somebody around. Hope you can trust me with your furry friends! I work from home full time so I’m always home caring for my 3 dogs. On a nice day you can even catch me sitting out back while I work and the dogs enjoy the fenced in back yard. I have a big fenced in back yard and 3 dogs of my own that I care for daily. My dogs are allowed on the couch and bed for extra cuddles and love.
“Joy was amazing with our senior dog, Betsy! She set up a meet and greet before Betsy’s stay to make sure Betsy felt comfortable at drop off. Joy sent frequent updates when we were out of town and Betsy had a great stay.”
About: Hi I’m Zoë! I love all animals, big and small and have been around them my whole life. >I have owned many different types of animals: dogs, cats, fish, a ferret, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, ect... >I have experience with a spectrum of ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I am good with puppies in training, as well as senior dogs who need accommodations. >Right now I have a dog (Bailey, 3), a farm cat, a fish, and also a flock of ducks. >I also offer yard clean up services and homemade dogfood! >I have been working for Rover since 2023 after I graduated from OSU >I moved to Fairfield County in 2024 I currently work part time at a greenhouse and run my own business. Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.
“Love leaving Oliver over there! Always sends pictures which I always like knowing how he’s doing. He comes back happy and gets to play with his pup. So accommodating and nice. Can’t recommend enough”
“Best Dog Sitters ever!! I would highly recommend. Very Clean Home. Friendly and made Bronco feel comfortable. They sent pictures of my puppy reassuring he was safe and in good hands! I can truly say I’ll be booking with them all the time! They made my Vacation a Breeze.”
“My husband and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Laura! She is an excellent communicator, and was flexible when we ran into traffic on our way to our dogs visit. Our dog loves her and her family and feels at home when he’s there! She is our go to sitter! Trustworthy, kind, and loves our dog like her own!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Denise and her family kept our boys for twelve days and took such great care of them. We got lots of pictures of them being loved on and snuggled. It made us so happy to know that they were comfortable, safe, and happy while we were away. Our dogs’ medications and supplements were not an issue either. We wholeheartedly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a home away from home for their dogs.”
“Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed staying with Ms Kyla for the weekend. They were so tuckered out when they got home because she kept them so engaged. Very attentive and sent photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be using her services again and would recommend her for your sitting needs.”
“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Michelle and Justin were great with communicating with us while we were gone! I got daily pictures and updates knowing my dogs were good and having a fun time. They were also super accommodating with everything. I would book with them again in the future.”
“Amy was able to sit for my dog Ivy for four days on very short notice. She was very accommodating and really want the extra mile to work with me on schedule. She has a lovely home with a nice fenced backyard for your pup. Her fur baby Roxy is such a sweetheart and immediately was friendly with my 100 pound dog. Amy was amazing at sending me updates and pictures during Ivy’s stay. I would 100% use her again in the future!”
“We loved Jodi and will be using her in the future. I felt comfortable knowing Hannah and Nico were in good hands while we went out of town. I will be recommending her to my friends and co-workers.”
