“Allan is great, very communicative and kind. I never worried about my dog Penny the entire weekend and was able to enjoy myself. Definitely would recommend Allan, and I will be a repeat customer.”
“Jennifer was amazing with my dog, Pablo! She cared for him like he was her own and kept me updated every day with photos and notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. Pablo was happy, well-loved, and so comfortable with her. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“What can I say about Kristie? She was incredible with my pup. He’s a bit of a finicky boy, and this was his first experience not at a kennel while dad was away. After asking great questions to get an understanding m, we did a meet and greet and Reggie seemed to enjoy, so we went ahead with the booking. Throughout my 7 day trip, I got plenty of updates and pics (peep the gallery). Kristie took the time to get to know the pup, checked in with me to get insights, and tailored her interactions and expectations to match my goober’s needs. 10/10 recommend, and hope to rebook whenever I need a sitter!”
“I would highly recommend Zurijanne! She is responsive, great with all pets big and small providing video and picture updates daily. I knew my dogs were in great hands when I was away!”
“Ashley was GREAT! She sent pictures and updates every day while I was gone. She even called me when Gatsby had a bit of diarrhea. I would definitely use her again. Thank you Ashley and Rover!”
“Cindy was wonderful with my dogs, Chet and Kohl! The dogs even became friends with their pet guinea! Thank you for all you do to ensure that my dogs feel comfortable!”
“Beth is amazing. Her love for animals shins through and through. I have 3 dogs and I can tell she treated them like they were her own. She is a loving and dedicated fur babysitter. I know my girls would enjoy visiting time and time again . Thank you Beth!”
About: We’re big dog people and absolutely believe that pets are family. We have our own dog and have loved caring for the dogs of family and friends over the years. We also use Rover ourselves, so we know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to take care of your pet. We want to provide that same feeling of love, care, and peace of mind for other pet parents. Our goal is for your pup to feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾❤️ My husband and I both work full-time, but I’m a teacher, so I have more flexibility during the summer and school breaks. We’re also available most evenings and weekends throughout the year. We love spending time with dogs and are happy to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. We’ll work with your schedule to make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. We want every pup in our care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. We have a fenced-in yard and our own friendly dog who loves having company! We’re happy to keep your pup’s normal routine, whether that means specific feeding times, walks, crate time, or anything else that helps them feel comfortable. We’re also happy to meet beforehand so you and your pup can get to know us and make sure it feels like a good fit. As Rover users ourselves, we know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pet. Pets are family to us, and we want you to feel that same love and peace of mind while your pup is with us. We’ll keep you updated with lots of pictures along the way, too! 🐶❤️
“Our old dog’s first time being dog sat away from home and she loved it. Lots of playtime, no scary cages and lots of cuddles. When we went outside today she headed for the truck, ready for another fun time! Excellent caregiver!”
“10/10 Erin was very friendly and informative from the beginning! Took very good care of my two fur babies updated me every day and the best part she sent pictures without having to ask! Will be trusting her again with my fur babies! She is also very flexible with times picking up and dropping off! Thank you again for taking such good care of my fur babies!!”
“Suzanne watched our dog for about 4 days and he really enjoyed his time there and playing with her dogs and in the backyard. She sent us a picture everyday so we could see what he's up too. We'd definitely use her again when we're in the area again.”
“June took such great care of my highly active dog Zozo. She did an awesome job learning Zozo's needs and adapting to make her stay care free. I will definitely use June again and highly recommend her for other people in need of some dog or cat house sitting.”
“Sandy was wonderful and took great care of our Sofie! She sent us daily updates and pictures. We would not hesitate to ask Sandy to dog sit for us in the future.”
“Lisa is so incredibly sweet and upbeat and knowledgeable about animals! She was always communicative and was willing to be flexible when my travel was impacted out of my control. My dog Scoobie adores her and loves her house and it’s amazing she has a backyard and plenty of room to play ball with my little one inside! Will be booking again.”
“LaTonya was fantastic with my dog, treated him like a member of her own family. Sent daily updates and pictures. I will use her again and highly recommend her for others.”

“I can't say enough good about Celene and her puppers! She is super knowledgeable and good with dogs! I can tell that my Charli really liked her! She was well taken care of and I will definitely use her again!”
“Jayden and his wife Lisa are amazing dog sitters. I left my dog Buddy with them over two weeks while flying outside of the country. They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care. Buddy and their dog Redford became fast friends and Buddy quite clearly loved spending time with their kids, making a bed out of their trampoline. It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”

“Qianna is awesome when it comes to caring for the pets. I left my 3 cats under her care and I didn't believe my eyes when I came back. My cats were healthy , I could tell they added weight and the environment was well maintained. She went an extra mile to buy food for my cats since she could not reach me by phone. I recommend her over for excellent work. She is passionate about her job, very loving and she knows her job. Thanks Qianna for excellent work 👏”
“Stephanie was beyond amazing -- every day she was on-time or early, spent tons of time loving my kitties, and went out of her way to clean even when not asked to so that when we came home from a long trip, it wouldn't be stressful. Will be rebooking with her asap, she made traveling so easy for us.”
“Abbey took care of our three family cats while we were on vacation in Florida for nine days, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Before we left, I was very worried about being away from them because our cats are such an important part of our family. Abbey made it so much easier for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing they were in such good hands. She communicated exceptionally well, providing updates after every visit along with pictures and videos of our cats. Seeing them and knowing how they were doing gave us tremendous peace of mind. She also kept their litter boxes clean, made sure they had fresh water and their food was full, made sure they had treats, and clearly gave them plenty of attention and care. What truly stood out was how she went above and beyond. We have an outdoor cat who would greet her every day and was always very vocal when she arrived. One day he didn't show up when she arrived. Concerned, Abbey spent time looking around for him but couldn't find him. Even though she wasn't scheduled to come the next day, she returned the next day specifically to check on him. Thankfully, he was there waiting to greet her, and knowing that she cared enough to come back and make sure he was okay meant so much to us. Abbey is kind, dependable, caring, and truly treats your pets as if they were her own. We would absolutely use her again for future vacations and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust to care for their cats. She is wonderful! 🐾❤️”
“Abbi and her friend were great. Our cat Mosey has a few health issues, and he's extremely anxious in new settings but he warmed up to them right away. He even slept with them at night and cuddled in their lap which he never does. I can't recommend Abbi enough!”
About: I’ve had and cared for cats for over 25 years, so I understand their behavior, routines, and unique personalities. I’m experienced with shy, anxious, and independent cats, as well as seniors who may need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and giving attention at your cat’s comfort level. I take time to build trust so your cat feels safe and stress free in their own home. I’m reliable and provide updates so you always know how your cat is doing.
“Vivien did an amazing job taking care of my rats and giving me great updates. You can tell that she really loves animals and I felt like my precious babies were safe with her. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and I have experience taking care of a wide variety of pets. I grew up with multiple dogs and I currently care for 1 dog and 4 cats. My family has owned many pets from fish to reptiles so I’m comfortable with different types of animals and personalities! Im currently working during the day/evening in the week so my availability is primarily in the early mornings. My work schedule may vary, so I could have additional availability on certain days off. I always make sure my own pets have consistent feeding schedules and fresh water every day. I also make sure to give them extra attention when needed!
“Emily was an amazing cat sitter! From the moment we connected, she was friendly, reliable, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. She took fantastic care of our cat Matcha, making sure he felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I received daily updates with adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned home, my cat was relaxed, happy, and the house was in great shape. It was obvious he’d been in great hands. Emily is trustworthy, attentive, and truly treats your pets like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Even though Evie had a family emergency, she still went over and took care of our cat. We appreciate her dedication! We will use her again when we travel.”
About: Over the past 36 years, I have had 7 dogs (2 that lived to 17 years old and required a lot of care and medication), 1 bird, 1 bunny (which was on hospice when I adopted her) and multiple fish. I was on the Board of Directors for the Humane Society of Hancock County and fostered over 10 puppies throughout the years. I have also gone through training courses with multiple dogs. I am responsible, reliable, and hard-working. I am looking forward to spending some time with your animals! I am currently not working, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available most days and weekends throughout the day and evening and can do multiple visits per day. I currently have three dogs that are crate-trained, so I am very comfortable with getting dogs in and out of their cages. I am also comfortable with walking your dog on a leash or supervising them when playing within a fenced yard. I will treat your home as if it's my own and leave it in the same condition as I found it.
“Thank you Chloe for the early morning visit! Chloe also came over to get my key and meet the cats before the official visit. There were a couple last minute changes to their care, so I appreciated the flexibility!”
About: Cats have been an important part of my life for many years. I've cared for my own cats through every stage of life, from playful young adults to seniors, and I understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level. Whether they're social and curious or prefer quiet company from a distance, I'm happy to meet them where they are. In addition to caring for my own cats, I've also cared for boarding cats in a professional pet care setting. I'm experienced with feeding routines, fresh water, litter box maintenance, play and enrichment, brushing, monitoring behavior for changes, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. My goal is always to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
“Rachel is wonderful taking care about our cats, she is great with them and also leaving the cat litter box area clean. Desmond and Bolica are super happy to get she as cat sitter, we have repeated with her and we continue to do it.”
“Stephanie was my in-house cat sitter for a month. I was super impressed with her thoughtfulness, thorough communication and great attitude. My cat can be moody, but she managed him for the month and gave me regular updates. And she left my house in spotless condition with fresh linens, which was greatly appreciated after a long trip home. She's simply a great sitter.”
About: I’m a trained cat sitter with a strong background in animal care. I attended NSTC (animal care school), where I studied Small Animal Science and Veterinary Science. Through my training, I gained hands-on experience administering medication, recognizing early signs of illness, and safely handling cats in a calm, gentle way. I also work as a grooming technician, with experience in nail trims and dremmeling, including cats who are nervous, wiggly, or not thrilled to be there. I’m very attentive to feline body language and stress signals, and I always prioritize a cat’s comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. Whether your cat is confident, shy, spicy, or somewhere in between, I’m patient, observant, and committed to providing kind, knowledgeable care 💛🐱

“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”
“I found Beth on rover prior to my relocation to the Ohio area temporarily. I was super nervous leaving my dog but felt at ease after knowing she got to play with other dogs and did well. She spent two days of daycare at Beth’s and didn’t want to leave after the second day! Thank you so much for being a trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Angelika provided last minute care for my dog. She was quick to reply, flexible, kind, and friendly. Charley had a great time, spent time outside, went on a walk, and snuggle on the couch. It was a great day!! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities.

I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pets are doing.

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”
“Maxi hadn’t been to Emily’s in a while and he was so excited when we dropped him off. Evidence right there of how great she is. She’s very responsive and keeps in touch with pictures and/or videos while Maxi is there. We don’t think you could find a more caring sitter.”

About: Ever since I was a kid I have had a love for dogs. I was always the one in my family to take the reigns, teach our dogs tricks, potty train, etc. My favorite thing about dogs is their loyalty, no matter the kind of day you are having they are always there for you. Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all. I currently am a Freelance Graphic Designer that hosts trivia in local bars a few nights a week. Very flexible hours to work from home. I have a large fenced in yard to run around in and when I come to folks home I always treat it like my own.
About: Since loosing my boy Copper I thought what better way to get that hole he left in my heart filled . I have lots of love to give if thats what your furry friend needs or lots of space if they prefer that to. My love for our fury friends runs very deep. & i have experience caring for them all! Im very active so there would be no worry on your pet missing a walk or play time. My husky was reactive on a leash so im always careful and hyper focused on my surroundings when on walks or doing anything outside with them. I have a small fenced in area of my yard that goes off my deck, an about an acre of unfenced for leashed strolls ,along with some wooded area that has a small loop around it perfect for sniffs! I also know of some secluded hiking spots for any reactive dogs that need longer walks and space from others. Saftey is most important to me, so im kind of a helicopter mom when it comes to any pet in my care! My husky was on severel medications for seizures and arthritis so I am used to scheduled medication as well. I have a giant garden and live a small homestead life. So I am almost always home except when i work my part time job. I have a small fenced in yard for them to relax in or go potty , along with a small wooded area with a loop for all the sniffs ! My area is safe and quiet as well.
“Thank you, Paul and Penny, for taking such excellent care of Chloe. I felt very comfortable leaving her in your care because I knew that you were kind people who really like animals. Thank you again so much!”
About: Friday-Monday I am home all day, Tuesday-Thursday I am in an office with the ability to come home during lunch. I have always loved having dogs of my own, but right now I do not have one. You and your dogs will be happy to know that I love long walks and snuggles on the couch. I also understand if there are certain rules/behavior expectations set by you the owner, that I will follow them implicitly since consistency is needed to have a well-behaved dog. I will treat your furry friend as if he or she were my own. I am available most days and am flexible to help accommodate your schedule. The experience I have in pet care has come from being a previous pet owner, but what comes with that is a true understanding how precious your dog is and that you are trusting me with that huge responsibility. I work from home Friday-Monday, and Tuesday-Thursday I work in an office close enough that I can stop in for lunch for a quick game of fetch in the yard. I have a fenced in yard and I also have space in my home if your dog requires to be crated. I also live close to a park for extra long walks if needed.
“Comer & Joan put our minds at ease when they babysit our pups. They treat them like we treat them.- like family. They are very attentive to the needs of our dogs and their safety. But we have a dog that is very skittish and they are so patient with him if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies looking no further Comer & Joan they are the perfect people”

“Qianna was a vacation-saver. Our original dog-walker had transportation and communication issues so we had to cancel with her. We found Qianna mid-afternoon and she was willing to come over that evening to meet us and then take over the next 8 days of dog-walking. She was quick to respond, pleasant, dependable and a very motivated young woman. She did a great job with Reno & his quirks. A many-star rating from us.”
“Emily is a true professional. She has quality communication skills, which is appreciated in order to collaborate our schedules (mine was slightly hectic the past week). My pup Aida was thrilled for her adventures with Emily and enjoyed the interactions!”

About: I’m 24 years old, im a part time stna and part time dog sitter! Im a pet owner, I’ve grew up with pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, fish, goats. I love to care for animals/ people who can’t take care/speak for themselves😇 I currently work a part time, night shift job during the week Tuesday-Thursday. I am available on weekends at ANY TIME for boarding, house sitting or drop-in visits. And during the week I am also available any time after 9am! For any pet they need to be fed, bathed, time to play, let outside to potty and just be a nice companion to them everyday. I’m a pet owner myself so I already do the everyday chores/ needs that are needed for care. It’s been a lifelong routine of mine that I’m accustomed to.
About: I have had pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for around 10 years! I’ve cared for high energy breeds such as GSPs, senior dogs, behaviorally-difficult dogs, and everything in between. I am a graduate student with a rather flexible schedule. Other than a 2-hour obligation on Friday afternoons, I am able to make time for pets when they need it. I do not offer care in my own home but I do provide it in the pet’s home. I find that pets are more comfortable in their own space and often adjust better when going about their routine with someone else if they remain in a familiar environment. I follow instructions for entering and exiting (garage vs. front door, key vs. code, checking-in on camera system, etc.), ensure all pets are safely secured in the home before leaving, and follow any explicit instructions left for me. I do my very best to ensure the pet’s routine is followed thoroughly.
“Abbi is amazing. My dog is afraid of everyone, but she loves Abbi. Abbi is such a sweet, warm person and a joy to have as our dog walker. She has even stayed at our house several time and has made me feel so comfortable that I did not even worry about leaving.”
About: Over the past 36 years, I have had 7 dogs (2 that lived to 17 years old and required a lot of care and medication), 1 bird, 1 bunny (which was on hospice when I adopted her) and multiple fish.

I currently have three dogs that are crate-trained, so I am very comfortable with getting dogs in and out of their cages. I am also comfortable with walking your dog on a leash or supervising them when playing within a fenced yard. I will treat your home as if it's my own and leave it in the same condition as I found it.

“I have a broken foot and cannot walk my senior dog Dusty. I was leery to hire someone I didn't know. Mark was amazing with Dusty !. He got right down on the floor to greet and play with him. He even coaxed Dusty to take a longer walk. I highly recommend him for his positive and eager approach to dogs.”
About: I had pets my whole life growing up (cats and dogs at the same time), currently haven’t a cat, and watch my families pets when they are out of town. I am reliable and can handle any situation that comes up. I work full time but I am able to work from home half the week so this allows me to be flexible with my pet sitting. I have a huge fenced in back yard, I treat every animal like my own as well. Additionally, I always respect other people’s homes.
“So I reached out to Lillian & Jeremy last minute and they got back to me expeditiously and we’re willing to accommodate my last minute booking for weekly dog walking! They have been incredibly accommodating, kind, and helpful throughout our experience. When Sandy’s feet became irritated and she needed some extra care, they immediately reassured me that they would be happy to help and provide any additional care she needed. That level of compassion and willingness to go above and beyond really meant a lot to me. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their clients and want to make sure everyone is comfortable and well taken care of. I truly appreciate their kindness, understanding, and exceptional customer service. Highly recommend!”
About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

I currently attend university as a full-time student, but I’ve been able to customize my class schedule to be able to prioritize regular exercise, feeding schedules, and playtime to ensure each pet's physical and mental well-being. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, and I value providing the best possible care for every furry friend I meet! I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere that mimics the pet's home routine as closely as possible by following the owner’s instructions. I maintain consistency and provide companionship for each walk, play-date, and overnight. I communicate openly with owners by giving regular updates and being responsive to any and all needs and concerns :)

I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for.

I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any household rules. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a little more space. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own.
“Lauren is awesome with my dogs. Shes always very sweet to them and notifies me if their tummies are upset. She even helped clean up a mess so I wouldn't step in it when I got home. Her and her family have been such a great help. I can't say enough positive things.”

They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care.

It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”
