Personalized care for your dog or cat - Barlow
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Barlow
“My pup Topaz had the best time with Ellen. Ellen took time with Topaz and made it fun for her. Since Topaz is a senior dog, she is very sensitive to her environment, and she fit in with the other dogs as well. I will be bringing her back on a regular basis now!”
“Candace was wonderful - I had a medical emergency and she was great with being flexible on dates. I know Teddy enjoyed his time with her family, and I would absolutely recommend her.”
“We recently had to board our dog, Coco, with Joyce on very short notice due to a family emergency. We can’t thank her enough for her incredible care and support during this difficult time. From the moment we dropped Coco off, it was clear she was in good hands. Joyce was attentive, kind, and made sure Coco felt comfortable and loved. We truly appreciate the extra effort Joyce put into making our pup feel at home. We’ll definitely be returning for future boarding needs. Thank you, Joyce, for being such a wonderful host!”
“Jessica was amazing. Took such good care of our two dogs and has expertise in grooming! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her and she made sure to update me everyday which made me feel better. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone!”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Bristoe had a ball! Thank you for having him! I loved the texts throughout my stay away from my boy. Theresa was very accommodating and easy to work with. Thanks again!! We look forward to future stays.”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“There is so much to say. Christina, her husband and kids were INCREDIBLE with our dog. We decided to book last minute as opposed to a boarding place and we couldn’t have been more happy! Christina sent us updates with images of our dog happy as can be! She was super professional and kind and I cannot recommend her enough. Very grateful and if given the opportunity again would love for her to watch our dog!”
“I had to leave my dog Thenji with Adrienne and Nick at very short notice. They were able to take her. It was so reassuring to know that she was being so lovingly cared for!”
“Oliver was so loved by Svitlana and her family. I had regular updates and photos, and my dog seemed so comfortable and happy while there. Svitlana was very communicative, and I highly recommend her. We will be repeat customers for sure.”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”
“Silvia and Roberto were fantastic with Penny! The daily photos of Penny getting comfortable really put us at ease. We definitely plan to board her with them again.”
“Tina communicated well and sent me pictures of my dog while I was away. She responded right away whenever I sent her a message as well. I will be using her in the future whenever it is needed! Thank you!”
“Sandra did a wonderful job taking care of my pup -- a 1.5 year-old Rottweiler. Sandra is a natural dog person, and she had a large, fenced yard with shady and sunny parts. I got lots of pictures of my dog playing there. The communication with Sandra was easy and clear. Very recommended!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for many years and currently have two senior dogs of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency pets need to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the extra care that comes with older dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship.

I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and household rules. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their boundaries, especially with senior, shy, or anxious pets. When staying in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away.
“Jessica and John were wonderful. We have never left our sweet Flynn with anyone besides my Dad. However, my Dad was unable to keep Flynn for this 7 day vacation. Flynn was so well taken care of and I felt 100% comfortable leaving Flynn with Jessica and John. They sent me messages, pictures and videos throughout our trip, which I loved. I feel like Flynn was treated like family. I would definitely recommend and use them again. Love. Love. Love 💕”
“Leo loved his time with Emily! He loved exploring her property and obviously felt comfortable with her based on his behavior when dropping him off and picking him up 🙂”

“Wow Leilani and Jessie went absolutely above and beyond while taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country. From the moment our cats met Leilani we knew she was a cat lover! They took so many photos and provided constant communication, photos, and updates. And best of all we felt good about enjoying our vacation knowing our cats were well taken care of. And to top it all off when we returned our home was spotless!”

“Poncho kitty and I are very grateful to have found Linda through Rover! She is kind, dependable, and trustworthy.

Thank you, Linda!”

“We couldn't be happier with the care our dogs recieved and the great communication with Nikki while we were away.

I didn't worry for one second while we were away, such a relief!”
“Abby was fantastic! I had not used Rover before so I was a little nervous. From beginning to end Abby was extremely professional and great with Ella! I loved getting the texts when she got to the house and left, the pictures made our day! I highly recommend Abby!”
“This was my first time using Rover and i had concerns about a stranger caring for my cats and in my house. Melisha came for a meet n greet and knew all the right questions to ask. It was evident she was experienced in pet care. She was on time for each visit and sent lots of photos. A great communicator. She even alerted us to a strange vehicle in our driveway. I will be hiring her for my next vacation !”

“We were super impressed with Leilani and the way she cared for our dog, Doc.

About: I have been a pet owner and caregiver my whole life. While I am a people person, I have always related the most to animals.

I do them with as much intention and love as I can! I have cared for every sized dog, every cat personality, and farm animals. I am currently more available this summer: my main job is M-F, 9am - 1pm, meaning I can visit your pets 3 times a day as you need before and after those hours! I want your pets to feel as safe with me as they feel with you. I stick to the schedules I'm given, making sure I don't miss the extra pet you might give them.

About: Hello! I’m Mags (Rover requires me to use my legal name) and I love all animals I have been passionate about dogs ever since I was a child but because experienced working with dogs and cats (and some bunnies) while working for the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was a veterinarian assistant for one year and then became an adoptions Manager for three years. This was the most fulfilling experience of my adult life, being able to help animals and the community daily. I recently lost my closest companion, Xander, about a month ago. He was 13 years old and I had him since he walked into the humane society at two months old. Through him I gained even more experience with aging dogs, medical care and many behavioral changes as he aged. While using positive reinforcement training we navigated 6 military moves, life adaptions to aging and the introduction of two kittens. I will take all this experience and use it to provide the same amount of love an attention for you furry family members as I did for Xander. I am currently employed part time and have many days free as well as can stay over night or board animals in my home. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with any client’s schedule as needed. I currently only have two cats in my home, so I’m able to provide boarding for cat friendly animals. I have a fenced in back yard and am usually not gone from the house for more than four hours. I also am available for staying over nights at clients houses for a more comfortable experience for everyone in the family.

I have worked at multiple doggie daycare/boarding facilities and have worked at a veterinary hospital for over 4 years. My goal is to become a veterinarian someday so I can continue helping animals lifelong. I have been dogsitting and dogwalking for years but I would like to expand into having more customers around my area. I am a very responsible caretaker and do the tasks I am asked to do readily and on time. I also love to take pictures of pets so you will get lots while you’re away (if you elect so). I hope to meet you and your wonderful pets sometime soon! I graduated college over a year ago with a bachelor degree in biology and currently have some free time on my hands while continuing my education further online. I always check over the environment in which the animal is staying in beforehand to make sure there isn’t anything they could get their self into.

“My pup Topaz had the best time with Ellen. Ellen took time with Topaz and made it fun for her. Since Topaz is a senior dog, she is very sensitive to her environment, and she fit in with the other dogs as well. I will be bringing her back on a regular basis now!”
“Candace was wonderful - I had a medical emergency and she was great with being flexible on dates. I know Teddy enjoyed his time with her family, and I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Jessica was amazing. Took such good care of our two dogs and has expertise in grooming! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her and she made sure to update me everyday which made me feel better. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone!”
“Bristoe had a ball! Thank you for having him! I loved the texts throughout my stay away from my boy. Theresa was very accommodating and easy to work with. Thanks again!! We look forward to future stays.”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“There is so much to say. Christina, her husband and kids were INCREDIBLE with our dog. We decided to book last minute as opposed to a boarding place and we couldn’t have been more happy! Christina sent us updates with images of our dog happy as can be! She was super professional and kind and I cannot recommend her enough. Very grateful and if given the opportunity again would love for her to watch our dog!”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Silvia and Roberto were fantastic with Penny! The daily photos of Penny getting comfortable really put us at ease. We definitely plan to board her with them again.”
“Tina communicated well and sent me pictures of my dog while I was away. She responded right away whenever I sent her a message as well. I will be using her in the future whenever it is needed! Thank you!”
“Sandra did a wonderful job taking care of my pup -- a 1.5 year-old Rottweiler. Sandra is a natural dog person, and she had a large, fenced yard with shady and sunny parts. I got lots of pictures of my dog playing there. The communication with Sandra was easy and clear. Very recommended!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for many years and currently have two senior dogs of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency pets need to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the extra care that comes with older dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and household rules. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their boundaries, especially with senior, shy, or anxious pets. When staying in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away.
“Leo loved his time with Emily! He loved exploring her property and obviously felt comfortable with her based on his behavior when dropping him off and picking him up 🙂”
“Annette is truly an amazing dog host. She knows animal behavior so well. Her own pets are wonderful and our dog loved visiting as a guest. She is an expert with regard to introducing pets to one another. I wish he could go on a mini-vacation once a week!”
“My dogs had a great time! They were happy and tired when I picked them up :) Jacob was flexible when I had a flight cancel just hours before take off and was stuck in a different state. He kept them for an extra day!”
“Curtis and Lindsay were great, sharing pictures and communicating the whole time we were away. Our pup appeared content, happy and tired out when we brought her home. Would definitely recommend!”
“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”
