“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“Tom and Tolley took excellent care of my 2 King Charles cavaliers, Max and Scout. With one being elderly and one being nervous/anxious, it’s always hard to leave them. Tom and Tolley catered to them and were so patient and kind! I received several messages and pictures everyday so I knew they were well taken care of. Would highly recommend!”
“We have taken our dog to Margaret a few times and would highly recommend! She took our dog for a walk in the park and sent photos during the stay. She has good quick communication. Well worth the cost knowing she is with someone who cares for her the same way we do!”
“Christiana was great! Our two dogs seemed to enjoy their time there & especially loved being able to run around in the backyard! She sent us pictures and updates throughout and was very responsive when I checked in with her!”
“I would give more stars if I could! Keith and Wendalyn took loving care of my darling Penny as if she were their own dog. Lots of fun walka, cuddle time, time outside. They also made sure Penny adhered to her somewhat strict diet but also got to enjoy some treats. Hoping to rebook with them for my next out-of-town trip!”
“This was our first experience with Erin and we couldn’t be happier. She took great care of Cali, kept us updated throughout the day via text and pictures. She was very flexible in our pick up time due to the circumstances with not knowing exactly when we would be back. Prompt response to our texts. Will be taking Cali back for this weekend.”
“Jenni was great to work with for my pup’s care. She was responsive and clearly likes pups. My dog can have separation anxiety and not be willing to eat but he did well and seemed content. I would use her again and recommend to a friend”
“I felt totally at ease leaving our standard poodle with Andreja for a 4 day weekend. She sent photos of Ruby my dog, and I appreciated it and it gave me ease in leaving her. Totally trust her and would leave Ruby with her again. Vicki Hudak”
“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 had the pleasure of working with Sharon, and I couldn't be more impressed with her kindness, efficiency, and genuine love for animals. She took excellent care of my dog for the day, ensuring he was happy, comfortable, and well-attended to. What truly stood out to me was her attentiveness and calm demeanor, which made the entire experience stress-free. She is clearly experienced, as evidenced by how well she handles her own dogs—a Yorkie and a Shepherd—both of whom are incredibly well-behaved and sweet. If you're looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter, Sharon is absolutely the person to trust. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of quality care for their furry friends!”
“Kelsey took great care of my 2 dogs this week! (1 pitbull &1 frenchie) it was 5 nights , they played with them and kept them fed and happy the whole time and updated me randomly and also responded quickly if I had any questions about my babies!! She does have children which has previously been an anxiety point for my pit bull.. the kids were so friendly and patient and he played well with them all weekend! Overall really happy with the turnout and that he was able to play with children in a controlled environment! Will definitely use her if we go out of town again!🩷”
“Our dogs seemed to have had a great time! They came home and napped all day so they must've enjoyed playing with the other dogs haha We appreciated getting updates and pictures all weekend!”

She provides a safe place for my little introvert girl and lots of toys and fun for her and my fun-loving boy! I think they have more fun with her than I do on my vacation 😂🤩! She provides updates and great photos which magically appear when I have moments of missing them. Thank you Kelly🤗 We love you 😻😻❤️”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wakeman
“Kayla took excellent care of Eddie. She introduced him to the pack and even got him accustomed to a cat, which doesn’t happen very often to him. We would rebook her without question again!”
“Erin and her family were absolutely incredible! We had a very last-minute, late-night request, and Erin was so flexible, responsive, and accommodating to get care coordinated. This was our first time ever leaving our puppy, and she immediately gave us peace of mind with updates, sweet pictures, and amazing communication throughout the day. It was clear our puppy was loved and cared for like family. We are beyond grateful for her kindness, reliability, and exceptional care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, we highly recommend Erin and her family!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.
“Charlie had a great time with Patricia. And he loved spending time with her doggie as well. We are so happy we found someone who could watch Charile while we went to dinner.”
About: I have been dog sitting for many, many years. My very well trained Labrador Retriever loves to have sleepovers and play dates with dog friends. I currently work from my home on Monday and Friday. I am 15 minutes from home on Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday. So I will be able to come home for lunch and let your fur baby out. I can board on weekends as well. I have a large fenced in back yard and a friendly lab to play with your fur baby. I can crate if your dog if needed.
“Thank you so much. Ince we met this wonderful family we know Sajde was going to be well taken care of. They made Sajde feel right at home. The children were happy to have her too. Loved the pictures Kelsey sent through out the day. Would highly recommend using her pet sitting service!”
“Fantastic experience. Messaged updates throughout the day to make us feel comfortable. Very professional and easy to communicate with. Our Tater was in good hands. We will see you again next year.”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life despite not being aloud to have any growing up. My parents just didn’t have the same love for animals as I did. Any chance I got I would go to friends houses or family’s houses and give their dogs love. It was very clear what my plan was after moving out of my mom’s house. Me and my now husband moved in together and very shortly after adopted our fur baby Luna!! Almost a year later we decided to add to the family and we got our other fur baby Salem. It’s been an amazing 3 years with Luna so far and 2.5 years with Salem!! After having them occasionally getting dog sat on rover for a few years now I realized I would love to be one of the awesome sitters to make your babies feel loved just like they are at home. While I feel as if I have more experience from being around other dogs my whole life I do think it’s only right to limit my experience to the years I’ve had with my own dogs. It is definitely different than just spending time with dogs. I also have decided to start with smaller dog breeds since I am currently pregnant and have a toddler. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for your pups, even more time once my husband gets home from work everyday. Me and my toddler love getting outside for walks and would make sure to have your pup join us. I will be taking a long break from sitting once our new baby is here. I will arrange my schedule once that is happening. I’m so excited to meet new pups and help out other owners! As I mentioned before, I am a stay at home mom with an active toddler who loves going on walks. I also have 2 dogs who have an active schedule so the pet care routine is already part of my daily routine as is the walking. I can cater to your pup however I need to if they have different needs. While your pups are in my home I can provide them exercise with walks and play time with our 2 dogs. They are very active dogs and we do walks often because we do not have a closed in back yard yet. We do plan on putting up a temporary fence around our back patio. Your dogs will get the same amount of attention and care as ours. My toddler is also very gentle with dogs of all sizes and if needed for older dogs we have child gates to create separate spaces. While yes, my husband and toddler are part of the household, I will be the sole caretaker of any dogs that I sit and that will not change. If it does change, my profile will be updated to a joint profile with my husband.
“Hong was amazing and we highly recommend them! They took great care of our 10 month old puppy and made sure he had a wonderful time. Their pets are really gentle and our puppy got along very well!”
“Keith and Wendy were fantastic. They took great care of our anxious dog. They took him for several walks, gave us regular updates and pictures and did everything they could to keep him comfortable.”
“Tom, Tolley and the whole family are awesome. They take great care of my dog, Max. He really enjoys his time with them and I enjoy all the pictures. Thanks, guys!”
“I cannot express enough how amazing Samantha is!! I needed a last minute sitter for my goldens and she responded within minutes that she was willing and available. She sent the cutest pics of the dogs throughout the day and it was clear the dogs were having the best time! You could see how happy and cared for they were with Samantha! I will book with Samantha anytime I can in the future if the pups need a sitter! She is AMAZING!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

If you want someone responsible, patient, and caring, I’d love to take care of your furry friend! 🐶💛 we accept meet and greet every Saturday. You are welcome with your pet. I check on the dogs all day, and I can give them medicine if needed, follow their feeding instructions, nap schedule, and playtime routine. I’ll make sure your furry friend has so much fun they’ll be happily tired by the end of the day. I can also send pictures and videos upon request. We even do bubble time and fetch time! Just send me a message — I’d love to care for your pup. 🐶💛 I have a fenced yard and one dog of almost 2 years old, your dog is free to walk around the inside house most of the day.
About: Hello my name is Alexis I’m 18 years old and I have 3 years of pet sitting experience. I took a break for a short period of time and now I’m wanting to get back to pet sitting because I enjoy it and I want to get back to doing something that I really enjoy doing. Anyone need a pet sitter message me thank you guys so much. I would appreciate anyone who would allow me to pet sit for you. Message me for information if anyone is interested in allowing me to do some pet sitting for you while you go do important things like doctors appointments,eye appointments,Surgery...etc. I’m available whenever I just sit at home and look for things to do ! ! I’m currently waiting to go back to work and I’m just looking for a side job till I can get back to work. I’m available whenever on weekdays and weekends.

About: I've owned and cared for a lot of different animals since I was 7, ferrets, rats, mice, fish, dogs, cats. I have senior animal care experience, and experience giving animals medication on a schedule. I've had my own dog Pinky since she was a puppy, so I'm sure I can handle any rambunctious pups! I have some cat stuff, even though I don't own a cat. I have a cat tree, scratching posts, cat toys. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care for your beloved pets! I'm available for you to drop off/pick up your pets on weekends and weekdays from 8am - 10pm I have a Large fenced in back yard, and plenty of time to take dogs on walks. I have a small 5lbs Chihuahua named Pinky, she likes cats and medium to small dogs (big dogs make her a little nervous, but we are working on that). Pinky is crate trained, so if your fur baby is crate trained I'll have no problem letting them out in the morning, and putting them in at night. If you have a senior animal, or an animal that needs medication, let me know all of the care details, so I can keep them on schedule and keep them comfortable and cared for!

“Nikki was amazing! Really helpful and very versatile with your schedule/needs. She is very responsive and always leaves a note with pictures whenever she visits your pets. Highly recommend and will be booking with her anytime when we need it!”
“Extremely reliable, communicative, and the dogs absolutely love him—we couldn’t ask for a better daily visit than our walks with CJ! He provides so much peace of mind, knowing my dogs are being well cared for when I can’t be there. The adorable photo updates are always a joy, and it’s clear that he puts a lot of effort into building relationships with his clients—human and furry friends alike.”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own. My animals are my babies, my world, and I expect it is the same for all pet owners. You putting your trust in me to care for your babies means the world to me, and you won’t regret it! :)
“Amanda communicates to me with our dog’s behavior and makes me feel confident that our dog is happy. Would recommend her to anyone needing care for any dog big or small, young or mature.”

About: Growing up, we always had multiple dogs that were my responsibility to care for, and I loved every moment of it! I have spent the last several years helping my family and friends with watching, caring for, and walking their dogs when need - I'm the go-to person for them because they know their fury friends are in good hands with me! I have two cats of my own (one male and one female - both spayed/neutered), but I do not have any dogs of my own. I work full time - typically Monday-Friday away from home from 8:30amuntil between 3-5:30pm. Occasionally I work a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday, but this is the typical. If your home is near my work, I usually am available to do walks or check-ins on my lunchbreak. I have a small, non-fenced, yard that works well for quick outside potty breaks but live in an area that is good for dog walks. I have a decent sized home, so any size dog would feel comfortable playing inside. All pets are welcome on the couch - especially for cuddle time - and I have a spare bedroom where they would be welcome in the bed. I have space to hold dog crates if your dog is more comfortable in their own space for sleep.

“Ralph was amazing, he accommodated our girls and treated them as if they were his own. He ensured that they were the only clients he had during their stay to make sure they were comfortable. He sent so many photos and made sure that we knew that were well cared for during their first stay with him. There was no doubt. Our large breed is shy and after our first meet and greet, she warmed up to Ralph so easily and she does that with no one. He has a way with animals that makes them feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Ralph but I would like to be able to book him in the future 😉”
“Caroline and Samuel were fantastic with my dog Netty. They were flexible with pick up times and they genuinely care about your dogs well being and happiness. The updates they sent made me smile and reassured Netty was in good hands. Their dog Winnie is adorable and eager to play with your dog any chance she gets! 100% recommend booking with them! Will book again soon. Thank you for a great experience”
“Our dog was with Amanda and family for almost 3 weeks. I was worried because she sometimes has separation anxiety and thought she would not do well at a conventional boarding place. I made the right choice. Penny seemed very happy and well cared for in the pictures I received. They took amazing care of her and the children were able to play with her. The whole family was involved and Penny seemed to fit right in. I will definitely book with Amanda the next time we need to go away.”
“It was our first time using rover so we didn't know what to expect, but I was extremely comforted from the beginning talking with Michelle. We did a meet and greet where she invited us and Buddy into her home. Rocky is such a great host dog! She sent us pictures of buddy laying on the couch getting plenty of attention. Buddy and Michelle's husband were best pals. I wasn't worried about Buddy for one minute and knew that he was having a blast.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years. During college, I spent five years working in a veterinary office where I gained valuable experience. I have a friendly Golden retriever who enjoys having other dogs around (large or small). I have cared for dogs belonging to our friends and family while they travel and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I provide a safe, comfortable home where your dog can be a part of the family while enjoying our spacious fenced yard and receive plenty of attention. Our two children are older and comfortable with dogs. They understand how to be respectful around dogs so your dog will be joining a calm, family-oriented home. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine and will do my best to make your dog feel at home while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I am home much of the time and enjoy having dogs as part of our family routine. I have the flexibility to give boarding dogs plenty of attention and outdoor time. I am able to accommodate each dog's normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime and bedtime. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable in our home rather than staying in a kennel. Our home has a large fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. My friendly Golden Retriever enjoys playing with friends. I keep my boarding groups under 2 dogs so I can give each dog individual attention and maintain a calm environment.
