“Jill was great! She provided lots of exercise for our young dog and sent regular pictures and updates. She was very responsive and we will not hesitate to use her next time we are out of town.”
“Kelsi was EXCELLENT. She very responsive with communication and loved her pictures and updates. Leaving a young pup with her felt like a lot to take on but she seemed very willing and capable! Sounds like they had a wonderful time together. I will definitely use Kelsi again in the future!”
“We are so sad to leave Nadine! Axel loves her and her crew and cannot recommend her enough to folks! Your animals will be loved on and taken care of. We will miss you so much!”
“Another wonderful stay with Liz and her family! Our dog loves spending time at her house and there’s always other dogs for her to play with. I highly recommend Liz as she’s attentive and caring and easy to communicate with.”
“Barbara is a really warm person who my dog took a shine to right away. I was very comfortable leaving my little buddy with her and it sounds like they had a great time 🙂”
“A big thanks to Christopher, he made the whole process easy. We were able to relax on vacation knowing he was being cared for through updates and pictures. We definitely recommend him to others!”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our girl with anyone so we were very nervous on how it would go! Nancy was so reassuring that Paisley would do well. She sent us pictures to keep us updated on how she was doing. Paisley came home one happy girl! We are so thankful to have found Nancy and highly recommend her!! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“I’m so grateful I found Julie! I was nervous to leave my sweet girl with anyone since she has been struggling with some health issues. Julie was the best person I could’ve chosen. She was very understanding of my situation, of my dog’s health concerns and everything. She was very responsive and kind. My sweet girl had an amazing time with Julie and her family-she honestly didn’t seem to want to leave! She was happier and more energetic than I’ve seen her in a while. So grateful for Julie for offering her home and her care.”
“I could not have asked for a better family to watch my dog! Samantha and Brian were so kind and accommodating with my older dog! My dog had some issues initially acclimating to the new environment and they went above and beyond to make him feel at home. To the extent that Brian slept in the living room with him, where my dog felt most comfortable. Their children and their pup were wonderful with him as well! The family even accommodated me picking my dog up a night early since our holiday plans changed. This family really was a blessing when we needed to leave our dog for the holidays! Thank you again!!”
“As usual, Shelly takes really good care of our pooch. Allonsy has stayed with Shelly a number of times, and she always gets the best of treatment. Special needs are always considered. Will certainly return and highly recommend Shelly.”
“Once again, Oliver had a great time and was so well taken care of. The day before our trip, Ollie had an issue with his foot and was put on several medications. Stephen's wife, Connie, made a meds chart to ensure that every dose was given on time. That wasn't something we had planned for, but they were so great about it. That really allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Thanks so much, Stephen and Connie!”
“I feel so relieved that I have someone like Myrna to leave my dog Shanti with when I go out of town! It’s always a really easy process and I love the photos I get while away. I can tell my dog is cared for and happy whenever I return home. Thank you Myrna! - James & Shanti”
“We will always call on Suzanne when we need day care or overnight stays for our furry kid. He loves to stay at Suzanne's and runs back and forth in the car when he knows we're going to her home to 'play with doggies'.”
“Jean was awesome putting our minds at ease leaving our 2 babies for the first time ever. She sent us pictures and let us know how they were doing while we were missing them terribly! She’s a warm loving person and we’ll definitely want to use her again!”
“My pup was well-taken care of while staying with Denise for a few days. He was having some accidents inside and Denise was really understanding. Its obvious that she'll accomodate any dog and issues that come up. Thanks again for being so nice! I'd recommend Denise if you're looking for a kind and understanding sitter.”
“Katie could not be any kinder or thoughtful to us, the pet parents. The way Lemmy acts around her makes us feel like she treats him the same way. He gets lots of outdoor time with Katie and always comes home pooped. Lemmy is a reactive rescue and Katie has the perfect personality to handle him and is helping to socialize him more. Thank you Katie, we all love you!”
“When we came to pick up Dory the next day she ran out to say hi and was ready to follow Hayleigh back in the house when she went to grab her bed. So safe to say Dory had a blast!”
“So great! This was our first time boarding our dog and we were really nervous, but she seemed to have the time of her life. The photo updates really put our minds at ease, our dog is a little shy but we could tell she was totally happy and comfortable. Thank you!”

“Kiah is perfect for us. She loves our kitties and clearly, the boys love her (our girl, not so much; she's wary of everyone). She went over and above my instructions and the house was just as we left it. The kitties were happy, we are happy and grateful to Kiah. We all look forward to her next visit!”
“A wonderfully relaxed and stress-free experience! It was great to not have to worry about the cat and the house while we were out of town. Myrna was absolutely terrific, thanks so much!”
“This was our second time booking with Maleny and she is amazing. It is hard to leave our cats at home but it makes it easier knowing someone is going to come care for them and make sure they are well. She is amazing with photos and updates on each of my checklist items. She is diligent about the house as well and I couldn’t be more grateful!”

About: Hi! I’m River. I was raised with cats and their kittens as a child, and have always bonded closely with them. I adopted My Own Cat promptly upon turning 18 (in 2002); Khaki was with me for 18 years, outliving his adopted brother Leo (my sister’s cat), who ended up living with me as well. I’ve also cared for my exes cat (Alli), and my son’s first cat (Lady Grey), and my current grand cats, Cas and Zizi. I am comfortable with litter box training, cleaning messes, handling kitten energy, etc. I can do light grooming (brushing fur, cleaning with wipes, applying powders, etc) and give medications. I have experience helping cats with ear, eye, gastrointestinal, and kidney problems. I typically like to do a little light housekeeping anywhere I stay; I live by the motto of “leave it better than you found it.” I also have a wide range of experience and am comfortable caring for various other pets that might need tending while you’re out. I have done lots of pet-sitting for friends and family, and I love meeting and getting to know new animal friends. I am finally joining Rover at the recommendation of many friends and family members who think caring for people’s pets is an excellent job for me. I’m new to Rover, but not new to pet care, and if you trust me with your pets’ care you will find they are in very good hands!

About: I've had cats my whole life and have taken care of my own two cats for about 3 years now. I've done drop in care and pet siting. I enjoy spending time with cats and animals in general and can provide a safe and comfortable environment for your cats while you are away.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover who currently shares my home with a beloved dog and three wonderful cats. My dog is truly my child, and I ensure he thrives through a strict routine of timely feedings, regular walks, and plenty of interactive play throughout the day. This personal commitment to my own pets' happiness and health is exactly what I bring to every animal I care for. What sets me apart is my experience with specialized care; I currently look after a special-needs cat, which includes performing daily eye treatments.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. And for the past 8+ years, I’ve cared for dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I currently have a Zara, a sweet and calm Golden Retriever, that is ready to play anytime, and a cat Logan, he loves to spend his day exploring outside. From energetic puppies who need extra playtime to older dogs who need gentle care, I’m comfortable with every personality and routine.

I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I know how important communication is, so I’ll always try to give updates.

About: My wife, Connie, a retired nurse, and I have had six dogs over 35 years. We miss them dearly. I have raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years so I understand the patience, structure and affection that go with it. I am retired from my legal practice of 35 years, and very active. I love long walks and have a nice fenced backyard if pet sitting is needed. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle companionship or just someone who treats them like family I’m committed to make them feel safe, loved and genuinely cared for.

In my home I will provide a warm, clean environment, plenty of attention and lots of outdoor activity since I’m an active retired person with plenty of time to give.
“Rebecca was professional and asked questions to make sure she provided the best care for our dog. She gave us photo updates on how he was doing. Overall, we are pleased with the service. We would have her watch our fur baby again.”
“Susie and her wonderful family are absolutely a dream come true! I'm so happy I found them. I've used daycare facilities for my little pug, Olive, in the past and she used to come home semi-traumatized by the experience. Definitely not the case with Susie. The second we pulled into her driveway, Olive had her tail wagging and couldn't wait to spend the day with Susie and family! Susie was sooo sweet and I know her daughter loved little Olive too...I can't speak highly enough of them. Seriously, if you're debating who to go with for your doggy...go with Susie. She is kind, extremely flexible, experienced and has such a warm and inviting home. Thank you so much for taking care of my little fur baby...10/10 would recommend and will 100% be taking Olive to Susie for all future daycare!?❤”
“Hannah and Blake did a wonderful job with Clancy. We had photos of his activities during the day and could see that he was having a great time. He came home tired and clean (we opted for a bath). Thank you from Clancy too.”
“The girls had a great time with Alex and his family. I loved feeling that they were well taken care of, Alex sent me text and pictures throughout the day to make me feel comfortable leaving my girls. Alex is very friendly and you can tell he loves what he does. Thank you again for taking such good care of them.”
About: Although I'm new to Rover I have been dog sitting for years, now that I'm retired and have too much free time on my hands I decided to bump it up a notch. I love dogs and my papillon is getting up there in age and lost her sister and this is a great way to give her company and a buddy. I am retired and home more than away. Weather permitting I spend most of my time enjoying the outdoors playing and working in my yard. I have two beautiful landscaped fully fenced acres, lots of room for your fur babies to run and play. My home is well set up for extra paws. I have one senior papillon who could use a buddy.

Katie goes a couple of times a week and comes home tired and played out. She already knows that when I say "Let's go to Dottie's" to head to the garage door. Katie has settled in at Dottie's and loves it. Thank you, Dottie!”
“Kris helped us out last minute to take care of our two doggos who were out of their routine and did not love being in a hotel. They played. He kept them cool during the heat wave. He sent pics of two very happy doggos and they were so tired and happy when we picked them up. Thanks so much!”

About: Hi! I’m River. I was raised with dogs and cats (and birds and turtles and fish) as a child, and as an adult I have raised my own from puppyhood/kittenhood through their senior years. I am comfortable with puppy potty training, litter box training, cleaning messes, handling kitten/puppy energy, etc. I can do light grooming (brushing fur, cleaning with wipes, applying powders, etc) and give medications. (I can even do baths with the right set-up, and advanced notice.) I typically like to do a little light housekeeping anywhere I stay; I live by the motto of “leave it better than you found it.” I also have a wide range of experience and am comfortable caring for various other pets that might need tending while you’re out. In general I love all animals; when asked if I am “a dog person or a cat person,” I say, “yes.” I have done lots of pet-sitting for friends and family (including fostering for a year, to help a friend of a friend while she finished school) and I love meeting and getting to know new animal friends. I am finally joining Rover at the recommendation of many friends and family members who think caring for people’s pets is an excellent job for me. I’m new to Rover, but not new to pet care, and if you trust me with your pets’ care you will find they are in very good hands! I am happy to care for your pets in the way that works best for them: coming regularly to take them for walks, scoop litter boxes, and pick up puppy pads, etc., or staying with them in the comfort of their own home if they need more than drop-in attention. If in-home sitting is needed for extended periods, I may need to leave for a few hours at a time, but I can work around your pet’s needs for specific mealtimes, walk/potty times, etc. I love all pets as the individuals they are, and care for them as if they were my own. You can rely on me to follow detailed instructions, keep you updated, and make sure they are as happy and well-cared-for as can be while you are away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life! I also have experience pet sitting for neighbors and family. Looking to help make sure your furry friend gets in all their daily steps! I work remotely so I am able to help walk dogs in the morning & within my work day as I can create my own schedule! I’d never walk the dog in an unsafe area. All of my walks are parks/ natural trials where my safety nor the dogs feels threatened. As for pet sitting, I would follow every rule you’ve set to ensure the safest experience!
“Natalie seriously came through for me! I had a last-minute appointment and was stressed about getting Indy out, but she stepped in right away with no hesitation. She did a great job and even sent a detailed update, which I really appreciated, especially since they hadn’t met before. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her! 🤍🐾”

“Jill was great! She provided lots of exercise for our young dog and sent regular pictures and updates. She was very responsive and we will not hesitate to use her next time we are out of town.”
“Another wonderful stay with Liz and her family! Our dog loves spending time at her house and there’s always other dogs for her to play with. I highly recommend Liz as she’s attentive and caring and easy to communicate with.”
“A big thanks to Christopher, he made the whole process easy. We were able to relax on vacation knowing he was being cared for through updates and pictures. We definitely recommend him to others!”
“I’m so grateful I found Julie! I was nervous to leave my sweet girl with anyone since she has been struggling with some health issues. Julie was the best person I could’ve chosen. She was very understanding of my situation, of my dog’s health concerns and everything. She was very responsive and kind. My sweet girl had an amazing time with Julie and her family-she honestly didn’t seem to want to leave! She was happier and more energetic than I’ve seen her in a while. So grateful for Julie for offering her home and her care.”
“As usual, Shelly takes really good care of our pooch. Allonsy has stayed with Shelly a number of times, and she always gets the best of treatment. Special needs are always considered. Will certainly return and highly recommend Shelly.”
“Once again, Oliver had a great time and was so well taken care of. The day before our trip, Ollie had an issue with his foot and was put on several medications. Stephen's wife, Connie, made a meds chart to ensure that every dose was given on time. That wasn't something we had planned for, but they were so great about it. That really allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Thanks so much, Stephen and Connie!”
“Jean was awesome putting our minds at ease leaving our 2 babies for the first time ever. She sent us pictures and let us know how they were doing while we were missing them terribly! She’s a warm loving person and we’ll definitely want to use her again!”
“Katie could not be any kinder or thoughtful to us, the pet parents. The way Lemmy acts around her makes us feel like she treats him the same way. He gets lots of outdoor time with Katie and always comes home pooped. Lemmy is a reactive rescue and Katie has the perfect personality to handle him and is helping to socialize him more. Thank you Katie, we all love you!”
“When we came to pick up Dory the next day she ran out to say hi and was ready to follow Hayleigh back in the house when she went to grab her bed. So safe to say Dory had a blast!”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“Amy and family took great care of Ahsoka! We received lots of pictures and videos while we were away, along with updates and comments about how great she was doing, which really helped our peace of mind.”
“While we were on vacation for three weeks, Manisha took care of Dexter. It was evident that Manisha and her family are true dog lovers as they provided exceptional care for Dexter and treated him like one of their own. Dexter had a blast during his stay and felt right at home. We were kept up to date with regular updates and pictures throughout our trip, which provided us with peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how happy and content Dexter was in Manisha's care. Overall, this was the best dog boarding experience we have ever had. Manisha and her family went above and beyond in every way possible, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog boarding services. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in the best hands possible”
“I would totally book again with bonnie she was so flexible with me! I felt so secure with leaving my baby here she never complained about anything my dog did like most other pet sitters I had before which really made me feel at peace!”
“Leslie was great with my Murph with multiple updates and check ins making me feel comfortable being away from my old man. I know he will look forward to future stays with her.”
“2Pac enjoyed hanging with Peter & the fam. It was great to have him stay in a conveniently-located single family home, with a grass backyard, and a caretaker that’s not overly multi-tasking or away during his stay. I received substantive and picture updates often. 2Pac came back clean and content. I also appreciated flexible scheduling for drop-off/pick-up and the opportunity for a pre-meet & greet at a nearby park to help acclimate. We’d definitely book again.”
“Chloe was great with our 8 yr old lab! She was very flexible and worked with us on scheduling for PU and drop off. Zoey was happy and healthy when she came home. We will definitely use her again!”
“Lyssette kept me updated with pictures and video my whole trip. We used her our first time using rover and she did a wonderful job and my dog was very happy when she got home. We used to take my dog to boarding places but after it made her super sick last time we decided to try out rover and I’m glad we did because it was a very good experience.”
“Saawan and Kangna were the best!! Our corgi is a lot to handle sometimes, being a high energy breed, with his barking, and corgi habits. And they did such a great job with him. He came home happy and tired. We loved the regular updates they sent and were so happy to see pictures always popping up while we were on our trip. We loved their communications and flexibility when we had a 5 minute delay picking up. We will sure be adding Saawan and Kangna to the top of our list for sitters.”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
