“Angelita provided the undivided, fulltime attention that Ian (and most labs) expect and sometimes demand! She was prompt with responses to my questions, followed the instructions to comply with Ian's schedule and gave Ian all the affection that he's accustomed to. I'm pretty sure that he would have enjoyed staying with Angelita a little longer. We're looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“Genalind was communicative and understanding of schedule changes with the snow storm. I liked working with her, and it seemed like my dog enjoyed her time with her too!”
“It was the first time we leave our dog here in the Usa...and we couldn't choose better!! Vicky and all her family were amazing with Hope...she sent us a lot of photos and video...and kept us updated with everything they did during the day...so we could enjoy our trip at best!!”
“Maggie stayed with Betsy Saturday thru Monday. Once again Betsy has gone above and beyond with our Maggie (corgi). Apparently Maggie decided to act like a cat and at 3:00 AM she decided to start doing the zoomies and play with her toys. Betsy was okay with that!! Betsy is like having a grandparent for your dog. She likes to spoil them!! Which is great to have.”
“Happily rescheduled our vacation to make sure our dog could stay here again. He always comes back to me extremely happy, Charissa is like a second home to Cosmo, as long as she’s willing to have him I’ll always rebook with her”
“This was first time Timmy, our 5 year jackapoo, was ever away from home without us. Timmy is very much attached to us and we’re very protective of him. My mother-in-law just turned 100 and my wife arranged a large family gathering for a 4 Day Florida celebration where her mother resides. We scheduled a meet snd greet with Amy and Patrick, Timmy and ourselves. We immediately felt that Timmy would be in good hands and Amy and Patrick disappoint. We received pictures and videos daily of Timmy on walks, playing and at bedtime. They followed our directions for feeding and treats to the letter! We highly recommend Amy and Patrick if you are looking for loving and caring folks to take care of doggie while you are away. They’re the best!”
“Krista was absolutely amazing! She took care of Nikko last minute and made everything so easy. I could tell right away that she truly loves animals Nikko felt comfortable with her instantly. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and treated him like her own. I’m so grateful for her kindness and flexibility. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!”
“Heather was wonderful! She took great care of our boy and sent us plenty of updates. The other dogs that were there were very sweet. Will be coming back again!”
“Jen took excellent care of our 10 month old, high- energy Aussie! She was communicative and provided plenty of activities and exercise to keep him busy along with her two dogs that he befriended! She sent pictures and updates while we were away. We highly recommend Jen as a dog sitter and would use her services again!”
“Dee was an absolute gem! She took such wonderful care of my two dogs for a very extended period of time while my family went on vacation. She kept me in the loop at all times and sent amazing videos and photos to help ease my anxiety and sadness for missing them so much! I had never left my dogs with anyone before, but Dee made the experience seamless and treated my pups with so much love! She truly loves animals! My boys had so much room to run and play with their new friends that became like their family. They came home exhausted in the best way possible! I will absolutely be booking with her again. I can't recommend her enough! Between her obvious experience with animals, her loving nature and her incredible farmland, she's the whole package! We love her!”
“Our dogs stay with Danielle and Bri was great! They took great care of our dog and even gave him a bath after a fun day playing outside at their beautiful homestead. It was peace of mind having a meet and greet before his week long stay but he joined their pack right away. Great communication and wonderful people.”
“Cindy and April hit it off immediately! So kind and attentive. She took her for many walks on the wooded trails behind their house. She sent us pictures of April enjoying her mini vacation. We definitely will use her again!”

“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“The fact that Jekyll took to Samantha immediately and spent the entire time cuddling her puts me so at ease, considering how long it usually takes for him to warm up to people and trust them. She sent pictures every day, along with updates. Samantha will absolutely be mine and Jekyll's first choice the next time we need a sitter”
About: I’ve been caring for cats, young and old, for over 20 years. I have experience with administering oral and injectable medications. Cats deserve just as much attention and care as dogs! In addition to feedings and litter scooping, I’m also happy to play with your cat and brush them as well. If you need anything more specific, please reach out!
“Treats our cats like her own, providing peace of mind for pet owners! Colleen is very attentive to the behaviors/habits of our cats, and she’s extremely communicative. We will definitely book again!”
“Sydney took great care of our two cats and our house while we were away for the weekend. She kept us well informed with plenty of updates (at our request!). She’s very professional and she left our place looking better than when she found it! We would absolutely trust her to care for our kitties and home again.”
About: I have been pet sitting and caring for cats since childhood. I worked professionally at a pet sitter business which included caring for cats. I fostered and adopted my own cat (Poe) in college and he has been part of my family for the last 7 years!
“After a horrible first experience with a Rover sitter, Kyleigh is a breath of needed fresh air. She has a great energy and took excellent care of my cats. I was able to enjoy my cousin’s wedding knowing my babies were in good hands. I genuinely look forward to hopefully booking with her again for my next vacation this summer.”
“Kelsey is the best! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cats for a weekend and Kelsey made it so easy. She communicated with me, sent pictures, and always showed up on time. I will absolutely be re-booking for my next trip:)”

“Sarah was very helpful, communicative, and friendly. She made our new puppy happy and comfortable despite him being afraid of most things. She also communicated anything that was out of the norm for our puppy and asked questions when needed.”
About: I’ve been the proud owner of a little Persian cat for 4 years and have over 5 years of cat sitting experience for my neighbor and brother’s cats. I am very familiar with cats’ non-verbal cues and know how to read them. I will feed, play, and brush your kitties, as well as take care of litter boxes.
“Mikayla came to every appointment on time, sent me pictures of my cats and communicated to me what she did. It was a relief to know my cats were being taken care of. Awesome job, Mikayla! 😊 Thank you!”
“Rachel was fantastic. Entirely reliable. She sent tons of pictures of Callie while we were gone and completely followed through on all of our discussed arrangements. I highly recommend and will happily and gratefully call on her kindness and care again in the future.”
“Trustable, dependable, friendly, competent, compassionate, knowledgeable. Zania is everything one would want in a pet sitter. My babies were loved and didn’t even notice that I was gone!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Baumgardner
“If I could give D 10 stars, I would. She is, without a doubt, the most genuine person we have ever met through rover. She was extremely flexible with changing drop off times and adding on an extra day of daycare last minute. Her farm is a adorable and our two Australian shepherds loved interacting with friendly goats, chickens, a cat, and even a sweet cow—it was a true vacation for them! If we didn't already think highly of D, upon arrival for their second stay, our boys bounded straight past us and ran to the door. They chose her over jumping back in the car, which speaks volumes about the trust and love she inspires. Furthermore, she is incredibly reliable with medical needs. Our one boy has epilepsy, and she managed to administer his medication flawlessly, giving us total peace of mind. We are so grateful to have found her and will use her in the future when we're in the area!”
“My little boy loved daycare at Heather and Spencer's. He romped with her poodles, took a nice snooze, and had kisses galore for Heather. Already booked our next play date.”
About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
“Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️”
“Great sitters for our dog Meadow who tends to have a little separation anxiety. She felt very comfortable and at home there. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Courtney saved us from a last minute dog day care request. She sent me all the pictures of Dharmi having su much fun. Thank you Courtney for be so flexible, friendly and kind with my senior dog Dharmi. 🥰”
“After spending over 6 hours with Gwendoline, my super playful German Shepherd who sleeps with one eye open at all times in the event someone tosses a tennis ball, was Knocked. Out. in the back seat of the car for most of the ride home. We were visiting the area for the day so it was a three hour trip! Suffice it to say, he had a full and busy day even though it was raining outside! A tired dog is a happy dog. Thanks, Gwendoline, for taking such loving care of my Shermie!”
“Dot had a such a great time with Maddie and her pups & kitty that she's still sleeping off her fun from yesterday! Maddie was communicative before, during, and after the visit, and sent a few pics during the day. I had a long & stressful day at work, but it was nice to know I didn't have to worry about Dot and could trust that she was in good hands!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“Jordan was exactly what my wife and I needed for our dog Rosie. We found ourselves unexpectedly needing a someone to watch Rosie for the day while my wife and I attended a weeding in town. Because Rosie needs some special attention after having been attacked when she was younger by another dog, it was important to find someone that could take care of Rosie the way she needed. Jordan was just that. She was easy to communicate with a responsive during Rosie’s entire stay, talking me through what she was up to and sending pictures and videos as well. Jordan even went above and beyond by introducing Rosie to her wonderfully well behaved and trained dog. Rosie can be unpredictable with other dogs, but She got along just fine with Jordan’s Shepard. I’d gladly bring Rosie back here any time I’m in town and would recommend anyone looking for a sitter do the same.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 7 years and have a 9 month old golden retriever. I would love to give your pup the love and care it needs! I love walks and so your pup can get a lot of energy out!

Orla raced back to the car for a last good-bye cuddle and kisses after jumping into Rachel's arms. By that simple action Rachel captured our hearts and certainly Orla's!”
