“I’m so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed, and even wearing the cutest bandannas! She’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful—what really stood out was how she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages without me even having to ask. That kind of communication gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“My girl came home happy and worn out. She must have played non-stop with Raleigh's dog Gargamel, as the pictures and videos sent to me all showed. My feeling is so much better with her coming back from Raleigh's place than I have felt recently when I left her at a kennel. I'll soon be a repeat customer.”
“Monica is absolutely wonderful. She sent daily updates with pictures showing that our dog, who can be a little anxious, was totally at ease in her home. She is responsible, proactive, and caring, and we felt reassured that our little guy was safe and comfortable while we were on vacation. This was our second stay with Monica and we 100% recommend her to all dog parents!”
“Angeline is phenomenal. I've used her and Dave a lot and time and time again they show how much they love Zoey and treat her like family. I'm very, very grateful for such wonderful people!”
“Dana was great! I needed a sitter at the last second and she was able to watch Colbie with no problem. She sent lots of pictures of her during her stay, and treated her just like one of her own dogs. I could tell that Colbie received lots of love and attention and was very happy. She got fresh chicken mixed with her food for dinner every night, and was even allowed to bring her favorite toy home with her. I will definitely be booking with Dana again in the future!”
“We had Amber watch our dog for our daughter’s wedding weekend! It was the first time she met Stella. We were very pleased with Amber and her family. She was kind enough to communicate with me over the 3 nights and she even sent pictures to us. It was a huge relief to know our dog was being taken care of so well ! We will DEFINITELY be booking again with Amber!”
“Nelia and her family took such good care of my dog. She was excellent with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. Nash seemed to really enjoy his time with them. I would definitely recommended Nelia and hope to be able to use her again for my dog sitting needs! Thank you, Nelia!”
“Mikaela is the absolute best!! We had a super fun and friendly meet and greet and I knew my Aussie, Nick would have a fab time. He loved her other 2 dogs and was treated like he was right at home! Mikaela was lovely to communicate with; super clear with details and sent me lots of adorable photos while I was away. Thank you Mikaela, Abby & Cecil for taking great care of my best buddy!! <3”
“Winston had another great stay with Debbie and Adam! I received numerous updates throughout his 5 day stay. I’m so glad I found them. He comes home happy, content, and tired!! He has so much fun there!”
“My two dogs had a wonderful stay with Michelle and Luke for 3 nights. Michelle sent several pictures and updates on how our dogs were doing throughout the stay. They have trails on their farm, which makes walks really nice for the dogs. Plus, they have kids and my dogs loves kids! Thanks again for watching and taking care of our dogs.”
“Samantha was FABULOUS! My dogs seemed so relaxed and at home with her and her family! I will 100% send my dogs in their own vacation with Samantha the next time my family and I go out of town! 🐶🥰”

“Mikaela was wonderful with Torte and spent extra time to make sure whe was comfortable and happy! She was very prompt with the visits and made a perfect routine for our cat. I would absolutely recommend her with your pets!”
“Dana did a phenomenal job with our three house cats -- including an insulin-dependant diabetic -- AND our ferals whiie we were away for three weeks. Our 20-year-old was put on insulin about 10 days before we were due to leave and our regular cat sitters backed out because they were uncomfortable with giving shots. I don't know what we would have done if we hadn't found Dana through Rover. Dana was highly experienced with injections, understood each of our cats' peculiarities and also offered to continue feeding the ferals that we've been doing trap-fix-release with. She sent pictures every day. I never had to worry about the kitties the entire time we were gone. If I could give her six stars, I would.”
“Corinne is truely an exceptional Pet Sitter. She was our best Christmas present, as we booked her last minute (after a scheduled visit was cancelled). Our 20 yr. old kitty, normally pretty shy with strangers, fell in love with her on 1st meeting and let Corinne hold & pet her on every visit. She was the best communicator, sending lots of pictures and short messages. We are so happy and thankful to have found Corinne and will definitely book her again!”
“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”
“First time working with Jarett, he spent a lot more time than we expected him to just building trust and relationship with our dogs. He’s very prompt at communication and sending photos. Everything happened exactly how we asked him to.”
About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I bring the same patience, gentleness, and respect to caring for cats, especially those who are shy, senior, or need time to build trust. I’m calm, observant, and always move at the pet’s pace to ensure they feel safe and seen.

About: I've own cats since I was 4 years old. I love every single cat I see and stop to pet them all (so long as they allow it). My own cats are both treated like kings. My older ginger boy also has asthma so he gets an inhaler twice a day.
“Courtney did a fantastic job taking care of my two elderly cats over the holidays. They generally do not interact with strangers, yet they were comfortable with Courtney, which speaks volumes about her calm and caring approach. I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their furry family members.”
“Erin was a total joy to have sitting in my home. She fulfilled her work schedule and returned to my 2 Maine Coons. She is gentle, respectful, and kind to my kitties, and worked well with my one shy kitty, who sought refuge under my bed. I am very pleased with her care, and will definitely use her again! She also took care to leave my home as she found it. What a joy! Roslyn”

“Would highly recommend! When I realized a big chain daycare place wasn't the right fit for my dog, I turned to Rover to try and find a solution. Raleigh and his dog have been absolutely wonderful for my dog Rascal. He's knowledgeable about dog behavior and keeps play appropriate and fun for the dogs. From the meet and greet to the initial visit, he's been kind and listened to my concerns and works with me and my hectic schedule. This has been a great experience and I am hopeful that more people are willing to work with reactive dogs!”

About: I have taken care of countless animals in my life. I truly adore them. I've raised llamas, mini donkeys, chickens, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, macaws, fish..to name a few! I believe animals are family. They enrich our lives and bring us happiness! I am currently retired and available frequently for boarding and/or daycare. I clean my yard daily, so no waste is evident. It is very important to me that your dog has all shots and is on a flea/tick preventative medication. I have a fenced yard, a doggie door that leads to the yard and a friendly labradoodle. I also have a cat, but she stays in her "own" room.
About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I’ve been around many types of dogs, even guinea pigs, fish, goats, chickens, cats, and more. I’d love to give your pets the care they need and want, and definitely spoil them with some loving and treats (with permission). My work schedule varies but I’m very good with time management and I’d love to fit you into my schedule! My classes start back up in August so after that, my schedule will be more limited. I have a very big fenced in yard. I play with my animals regularly, feed them, clean up after them. I’d love to do the same with your animals.
About: Hi! I’m Brittni! I’m fortunate to have the ability to work from home often, which means your pets get lots of company and attention throughout the day! I’m also a proud fur-mom with years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether your crew includes a tiny Frenchie, a giant Great Dane, a cuddly cat, a curious ferret, or a feathered chatterbox, I’ve probably loved on one before! Size, breed, or the number of pets in your family doesn’t scare me—I believe the more paws, the merrier! Need someone who can give medications, keep up with special care routines, or convince your stubborn pup that going outside is actually a great idea? I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs and always take the time to learn exactly what makes each pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. I know leaving your pets behind can be stressful. After all, they’re family—not “just pets.” That’s why I care for every furry, feathered, or scaly friend as if they were my own. Whether they love long walks, endless games of fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby while they nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing crew. Let’s make your next trip worry-free—and maybe earn a few tail wags, happy purrs, and the occasional zoomies along the way! I have the ability to work from home during the week, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care and companionship throughout the day. After work, and during weekends are usually very flexible for me. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have a long leash so your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time, in addition to regular walks if you’d like. In my home, in addition to my husband, I have two Frenchies, one chocolate lab, and a cat (who mainly keeps to himself), as well as children who love animals and help provide plenty of companionship for your fur-baby.
“I was in town for the Billy Joel concert, and Cassandra and her family were the best dogsitters for my girls' night out! Vinny felt completely safe and at home with them, evidenced by his rambunctiousness when I picked him up. (He's usually quiet and cautious in new places, unlike how he is at home.) She was accomodating with the time, and I'm so grateful! She's definitely my first choice when I'm in town!”
About: I’ve been helping friends and family take care of their animals while they are away since I was a kid. I love babysitting furry friends. I work certain days of the week at another job really early in the mourning and home by 1130 am. I’m a very quiet shy person but I love animals. I work certain days early in the mourning and I’m home by 11:30 a.m. I need a 4 day in advance booking. I love animals so I wanted a job to where I can work them. I spoil every animal I come across. Everyone will be fed. I have treats, toys, leashes, a special dog monitor for if I do have an overnight on a day I have to work. I do have an extra crate if you feel your dog needs crated. If your animal requires special treatment such as medication I will need something written out for that such as name of medication time taken etc. I care for every animal as if they were my own. Their health and safety is my main priority at all times.

“I can’t adequately express how wonderful Joni and her family are. They have a deep love and respect for their fur babies and treat everyone else’s as their own. I trust them with my baby without reservation.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Maria! She was as calm and reassuring with us as she was with Beau. We received photos through the day, and a special package of treats was tucked into his bag when we unpacked at home. So happy to know we have a safe and serene place for Beau when we need to travel.”
“Alisha has been my regular sitter for about 2 months now & I feel very lucky to have found her! My dog, Cooper, is treated like part of the family & is always worn out when he gets home. I feel confident that he is safe & I still get consistent updates on what they’re up to all day. She is one of the best you could find!”
About: We welcome any potty trained dog to come and play and get love. Rocky, our Poochon, loves to play and is very sweet. We have a fenced in yard so your dog can get as much time outside as they like. We can only provide weekend care from Friday night until Monday morning. I enjoy being home so this works well for me and I enjoy helping. My dog gets lots of attention and affection. I actually cook his meals because he doesn’t do well with any store bought brands. I am more than happy to share the home cooking with your dog if you like.

In addition to being a dedicated dog mom to two large breed dogs, I’ve worked in boarding facilities and pet hotels and have volunteered with animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background has taught me how to safely handle dogs in a variety of environments, follow detailed care instructions, recognize stress signals, and maintain structured routines, all while keeping pets comfortable in their own homes, where they’re often happiest.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds from rescues, seniors, puppies, and everything in between. I also have experience caring for cats and some smaller animals and reptiles. Feel free to ask me about your other pets and I’ll let you know honestly if I am able to provide care. I'd be a great fit if you're a detail-oriented or slightly worried/anxious pet parent who wants their routine followed to the letter, frequent updates, and someone who treats your home and family members with love and respect. Getting a routine right matters a lot to me. I ask lots of questions upfront and pay close attention to the small stuff: think feeding times, meds, favorite routes, comfort items, quirks, fears, or behaviors, because those details are what make a dog feel secure. I'd rather over-communicate than guess. I lived with and cared for a reactive dog for 13 years, so I know firsthand what it takes to help an anxious dog feel safe, and how to prevent conflict in the first place. All my dogs have been rescues, and I have a soft spot for dogs who need extra patience to warm up. I'm not a certified trainer, but I've spent years learning dog training, body language, and enrichment, and every interaction is rooted in positive reinforcement. I will require a meet and greet with your pet in advance of the first booking so they can become familiar with me, and so I can become familiar with their routine and needs. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to be present for your dog, whether that's extra walks, playtime, or just being around for company, and I'm happy to talk through what kind of availability works best for your pet! I work from home which allows me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in a way I wouldn’t be able to with a traditional office. This gives me the ability to keep anxious dogs company, breaks for play time, medication, cuddles or walks when they are needed, not when they can be fit in. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or theirs, I work on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace and honoring their boundaries. Safety is always my top priority, I supervise pets closely, follow all instructions carefully, and adapt to their unique needs. I keep spaces clean, hazard-free, and ensure pets have fresh water, proper food, and quiet resting spots. For reactive or anxious pets, I use gentle, low stress handling & positive reinforcement or redirecting to help them feel calm and supported. Every care plan is tailored specifically to your pet’s needs after we discuss what works best for them.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and a tortoise for a few years until he got too big (lol). I absolutely love all animals and I am a wildlife major at West Virginia University, where I have learned the responsibilities of proper care of all animals including pets! I love taking my dog Stella for walks and would love to be active with any pets whether that’s a walk, playing outside/inside, or just keeping them company! I have dog sat since I was 13 for almost all my family members and respect the space and comfort of all pets! I’m currently unemployed for the summer because of online classes, but my days are extremely free even with 30 minutes - an hour of my time taken for the class. The class is also only once a week on any day, so it’s very flexible with managing pet care and getting class work done! I have one, very friendly dog, Stella, who is 8 years old but she enjoys puppies, younger dogs, and older dogs! I will separate them for eating/treat purposes as I wouldn’t want either pet to get defensive over their food if I am pet sitting at my house. I have pet sat at friends and family’s homes and follow directions clearly, but if I am uncertain of any instruction, I will always double check with the owner before continuing my pet care.
About: I am back from home after graduating with a Masters this summer, so I am excited to come home and go back to dog sitting, what I’ve done since I was in high school! My dog Sammy is always so excited when we go home because she gets to meet new pup friends, and we both love having more dogs around to play with. Sammy is just about the nicest dog you'll ever meet. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! We have a huge yard (and a very tall fence, so no need to worry if anybody can jump over it!) that we can run in all day, and when we're all tired, we lounge on the couch and relax. Sammy and I take daily walks, and sometimes walk twice a day, which your animal can join in on as well. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading all day for my winter break so I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me and my pup Sammy
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large, high-energy companions. I’m a dedicated dog lover and currently have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever and a 1-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very familiar with both affectionate family dogs and active working breeds. I understand how important it is for pets to get consistent exercise, attention, and care, and I enjoy helping busy pet parents make sure their dogs are happy, safe, and well looked after. I currently work a flexible self made schedule which makes it very easy to attend to your furry friends! Just let me know what works best for yours! I care for my own pets daily so I’m very familiar with providing consistent, attentive care for both calm and high-energy dogs. During walks and visits, I will treat every pet like my own, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while following their normal routine!
About: I have years of experience caring, loving, and training dogs. Navigating three senior dogs (18 years+) at once I can administer oral and topical medication and understand the gentle and considerate care senior dogs require. I’ve trained two puppies from zero to age two in accordance with the Canine Good Citizen Standards. I believe in a fear free positive reinforcement training and caretaking style and am studying to help generally train service dogs (online training and I’ve shadowed a non-profit trainer). Pet care is ingrained in my daily and weekly schedule with the ability to work from WiFi, and it’s a blessing. From walking, movement, exercise, brain stimulating games, and general care - it is all included in my day. I care for your pets how I’d want someone to care for my pet - of the highest standard of attention and thoughtfulness in both my space and yours.
About: I've lived with dogs my whole life! I'm all about creating a fun and relaxed environment where your dog can feel safe and loved while you're away! I'm on summer break from college, so I have plenty of availability. I'm flexible and happy to tailor my schedule to fit your needs. Whether it's regular check-ins, walks or occasional visits, I’m committed to being there when you need me. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime and walks, and have lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions you leave—because your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority!
About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.
About: Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life, offering comfort through tough times. I genuinely love being around animals and caring for them. (I allow animals on my bed I’m not sure how to change that ) I have classes, but your fur baby will always be my top priority. I’m home every evening to care for them, except Fridays when I’m working on the ambulance. Walking, feeding, watering, bathing and getting all their zoomies out. I enjoy walking and physical activity meaning they will be tired out by the end of the night.
About: I have a cat, she’s 22 years of age and have cared for dogs of all sizes throughout life. I am open to caring for any type of animal. I currently work full time with Friday and Saturday off. I assure that your fur babies will get exercise/play time, potty breaks, and any other special care they would need At your home, I’ll have no problem continuing your schedule with your fur baby. I will also be there to deter crime, water plants, vacuum, grooming/brushing, feeding, water changes, trash/recycling pick up, walks, and play time

About: Hi, I'm Sadie! I am a graduate of Pennwest California's Vet Tech Program and have plans to attend graduate school to become a veterinarian. I have worked at several different jobs where I gained pet care experience, such as doggy daycare/boarding facilities and pet stores. I currently work as an emergency vet nurse as Veg ER for Pets. I hold a current veterinary technician license and am RECOVER CPR certified in cats & dogs. I have been petsitting for friends and family for years and have watched large breed dogs, such as Cane Corsos, Akitas, and Great Danes. I own 3 Pitties, 1 Boston Terrier, and 3 cats. I have raised bottle-fed kittens/puppies. I can administer oral, ophthalmic, aural, topical, & injectable medications to a variety of animals. I can care for farm animals as well! Whether your pet is young, old, or has special needs, they will be well cared for while you're away. Rest assured, I will treat your fur babies as if they are my own! P.S. my rates are higher than I normally charge to cover the 20% deduction Rover takes from each booking. Tips are appreciated but not required :) I am currently taking an in-person class 2 days a week on Monday and Wednesday. If care is needed while I attend class, my mom (also a Rover sitter, Danyel Marinski) can provide care for your babies as well! I care for client's pets exactly as their instructions tell me too. My own dogs love to cuddle with me and watch tv in between playing with all of their toys! They're super high energy so they're taken on multiple daily walks.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my family. Later in life, I became a cat mom. I currently have a Rottweiler and a torbie cat. These two are my world. I have delightfully cared for my friend’s and family’s dogs and cats… and a flying squirrel when needed. I love all animals and hope I can ease your mind caring for your babies while you are away from home. I am fully vaccinated for Covid. I promise to care for your babies as if they are my own. In my care, they will receive lots of love and maybe a little too much attention while following any guidelines you provide. We will spend time outdoors (weather permitting), walk, run, play and fetch to keep your loved ones stimulated mentally and physically. I am able to give medications, refresh food and water, clean litter boxes and other specifics as well. I love meeting dogs and cats of all personalities and can cater to animals who aren’t social. I hope you consider me to help care for your fur babies. I already can’t wait to hang out with them! Available every other Monday after 4:00 into the evening and all day Friday unless otherwise marked on my calendar. Please reach out if you are unsure about availability 🐶🐈 I have senior dog experience, can administer oral medications and can provide daily exercise. Please inform me of your dog or cat’s temperament so I can be sure to care for them appropriately. Please also provide emergency contact as well as vet information in case of an emergency.

“I’m so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed, and even wearing the cutest bandannas! She’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful—what really stood out was how she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages without me even having to ask. That kind of communication gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“My girl came home happy and worn out. She must have played non-stop with Raleigh's dog Gargamel, as the pictures and videos sent to me all showed. My feeling is so much better with her coming back from Raleigh's place than I have felt recently when I left her at a kennel. I'll soon be a repeat customer.”
“Monica is absolutely wonderful. She sent daily updates with pictures showing that our dog, who can be a little anxious, was totally at ease in her home. She is responsible, proactive, and caring, and we felt reassured that our little guy was safe and comfortable while we were on vacation. This was our second stay with Monica and we 100% recommend her to all dog parents!”
“Nelia and her family took such good care of my dog. She was excellent with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. Nash seemed to really enjoy his time with them. I would definitely recommended Nelia and hope to be able to use her again for my dog sitting needs! Thank you, Nelia!”
“Mikaela is the absolute best!! We had a super fun and friendly meet and greet and I knew my Aussie, Nick would have a fab time. He loved her other 2 dogs and was treated like he was right at home! Mikaela was lovely to communicate with; super clear with details and sent me lots of adorable photos while I was away. Thank you Mikaela, Abby & Cecil for taking great care of my best buddy!! <3”

“Raeann was by far the best Rover we ever had. She took the time to meet our dog beforehand and was wonderful. She gave us updates with pictures very often and made us feel like we left our dog with an old friend. I'd recommend Raeann to any pet owner who wants a worry-free experience! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Heather and her family treated Rudy like one of their own pets. They played with him and gave him lots of attention. Rudy was very happy at their house. I would definitely recommend Heather.”
