“As soon as you meet Michelle you know she is truly an animal lover. She also seemed very in tune to what Lennii needed and made her feel more comfortable. There were several other dogs in Michelle's home and this gave Lennii plenty of new friends to socialize and play with. There is a nice fenced back yard for the dogs to romp. Most of all Michelle was very accommodating when we realized that we could not pick up Lennii at the designated time due to our plane being delayed. She was totally understanding and gave me peace of mind that it was fine for Lennii to stay until were able to get her. I would definitely use Michelle again and highly recommend her to watch your pet.”
“Mike was excellent with my Sheepadoodle. He sent numerous pictures throughout her stay and was in contact with me daily. I can not say enough about how happy I was that she was not sitting in a cage all day and that she was being treated as part of his family. I definitely recommend using Mike as he showed love and care for my dog. 🐶”
“Yoko and her husband are exceptionally sweet and welcoming. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. They kept me updated throughout his stay with messages, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated—it was clear he was having a great time. You can tell they genuinely care, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Laura is literally an angel. She was able to stay with our dog Titan for our extended vacation when our sitter canceled last minute. Titan had some issues with not wanting to eat while we were away. Laura did such a good job with him and got him to eat. I’m so glad that we found her here on Rover. She was always in contact with us even when I couldn’t get back to her due to reception. Titan was with her for about 17 days and I knew he was in great hands.”
“Johanny is super sweet and pleasant and I can tell she loves dogs. She sent me updates and pics to let me know how Scout was doing. I will be a return customer for sure!”
“Equasia is a beautiful person with a kind and generous soul. I was in a bind, looking for someone to watch my cat Leonidas, who has diabetes this past holiday weekend. I was going for knee surgery the Monday after the holiday and needed a safe place for him to stay. Equasia was willing and able to watch him, being ok with giving him his medicine at such short notice. We spoke on the phone so we could have a brief introduction and I was sold. Not only was she able and willing to watch him but I had no way of picking him up after my hospital discharge and she was willing to bring him home. She went above and beyond the care and support that was needed. She kept me posted daily on how he was and sent me pictures of him as well. I will be going through this surgery again and I will be making arrangements with Equasia for care of my little guy Leonidas. She wasn't just a pet sitter, she was a pet parent and she cared for him as such. 5 stars, I will always go to her if and when I need extended pet care. She provides a comfortable home for a newcomer, making it a safe space for him. I couldn't ask for a better place and person to watch over Leonidas. I am grateful to have met her and thankful for everything that she did.”

“Bella is usually stressed whenever she stays away from home but she was fine when home She is easy to care for because she spends most of her time resting in the warmest place she can find but I appreciate the extra care to get her to eat”

“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Sharon and her family. When we first met with Sharon all of out worries immediately disappeared. She is very kind and responsible.

Losing him was tough, but it left me with an abundance of love 💙 I’m eager to share with other dogs through both personalized care and capturing their spirit through photography. I offer a boutique, home-like dog care environment 🏡 where I never take in more than 1–3 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog receives plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our spacious indoor gallery, and adventures on the nearby D&L Trail as well as numerous local parks 🚶🌳🐕.

“michael had great communication with me all day! was super understanding of behavior issues with my dog as she was out of daycare for a while and her behavior as a rescue dog. will absolutely continue services with them in the future”
“Our two dogs seemed to be at ease with Megan during a four hour "day care" at her residence. They came home happy, tired and healthy. I think that's a good sign. I met her two dogs and found them to be gentle and well-behaved. Although our dogs were with her for only a four hour stay that day, she still somehow managed to get nice, little walk in for them! At this point, I feel comfortable with Megan and her ability to care for our doggies and would use her service again. She's very professional, cordial and accommodating. She provided quick responses every time I had questions. Thanks!”
“Renata has been great so far in watching our 9 week old puppy while I work during the day! He comes home sleepy sometimes so we know he's getting enough playtime! We will definitely continue to use her when needed.”
“Pamela is an incredibly kind person who took such great care of my dog. I was genuinely amazed when I went to pick him up—he seemed like he wanted to stay with her, as if they’d known each other for years. It was such a profound and touching moment. I’m really grateful to have met Pamela, and I feel so at ease knowing I can trust her with my pup.”
“Brooke and Jeremy were amazing for doggy daycare. They were incredibly accommodating with my early work hours, which made everything so much easier for me. My pup tends to be pretty anxious, but they handled him with so much care and patience-it really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and effort they put into making him comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”
“This was our dog’s first time staying at daycare with a sitter and she seemed to happy! Brandi sent me pictures of her playing throughout the day, and I felt good knowing she was taken care of in a loving house with other good doggies. We will definitely use Brandi again!”
“We are so happy we found Jeanne. Our Rigby came home so happy. We are using her for routine care and are so excited we have someone who cares for the dogs like they are her own. Highly recommend!”

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs from puppies to seniors and understand how to care to all their needs. Along with that I take the time to really get to know each dog on their own and establish a connection so that each party is happy. I currently work a full time job. However I work from home so that allows me to be flexible with my time and always there to attend to the dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own to give your fur baby’s company. The dogs can free roam around the house but I’ll always make sure I can see them. If preferred to be caged that is also possible.
“Equasia was fantastic and kind to me and my pup, and kept me updated all day. He came home very happy. They even brushed him and took him on multiple walks. Sent sooo many photos. I'm very happy and so is he! Would absolutely book again.”

About: I have had many pets since I was young and enjoy caring for them. I love all animals and look forward to meeting new animal friends! Currently a full time stay at home dad / part time paramedic. I have plenty of spare time to help out anyone who needs pet care assistance. I have a 1/4 acre yard unfenced that I let my dog and cat play around in.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate routines, basic medication administration, and giving extra patience and attention to dogs with specific needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just a calm companion, I provide loving and reliable care tailored to their routine. I treat every dog like family and work hard to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is in good hands. I’m currently a school teacher. So I will be available most days in the summer to care for your pet. This includes spending time with them, walking them, etc. I have 15 acres that your pup and I can explore. Mostly wooded, and does have a small creek. Your pup will get the opportunity to relax and enjoy the ability to either Lounge in the grass in the backyard or go for a walk through the woods.
About: I (Eren) have been a veterinary technician since 2023, working in a variety of settings including a clinic, shelter, and university research hospital caring for special-needs dogs. Through this experience, I’m comfortable with medical care, senior pets, administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and handling animals with unique behavioral needs. I’ve also had animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotics, so I understand how different every species (and every personality!) can be. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with shy or anxious animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have spent years helping care for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. Just let me know what times would work best for you! I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or while you’re away on vacation, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I am retired but do help with caregiving of two family members so I am gone up to 5 hours at a time a couple times a week. Your fur baby is allowed on my couch and bed. I have a great fenced yard for throwing balls! I have a covered back porch so most fur babies love to lay outside but are under cover

Walks: if they have a vest/coat i will put it on for them and take them around the closest neighborhood- or safest close by park. Over night stays: I always begin by making sure they use the bathroom. I will then make sure they are fed, have water and give medication if necessary. If there is an open yard that is enclosed by a fence I will play with them for at least 30-45 minutes before going in for the evening.

“As soon as you meet Michelle you know she is truly an animal lover. She also seemed very in tune to what Lennii needed and made her feel more comfortable. There were several other dogs in Michelle's home and this gave Lennii plenty of new friends to socialize and play with. There is a nice fenced back yard for the dogs to romp. Most of all Michelle was very accommodating when we realized that we could not pick up Lennii at the designated time due to our plane being delayed. She was totally understanding and gave me peace of mind that it was fine for Lennii to stay until were able to get her. I would definitely use Michelle again and highly recommend her to watch your pet.”
“Mike was excellent with my Sheepadoodle. He sent numerous pictures throughout her stay and was in contact with me daily. I can not say enough about how happy I was that she was not sitting in a cage all day and that she was being treated as part of his family. I definitely recommend using Mike as he showed love and care for my dog. 🐶”
“Yoko and her husband are exceptionally sweet and welcoming. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. They kept me updated throughout his stay with messages, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated—it was clear he was having a great time. You can tell they genuinely care, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Laura is literally an angel. She was able to stay with our dog Titan for our extended vacation when our sitter canceled last minute. Titan had some issues with not wanting to eat while we were away. Laura did such a good job with him and got him to eat. I’m so glad that we found her here on Rover. She was always in contact with us even when I couldn’t get back to her due to reception. Titan was with her for about 17 days and I knew he was in great hands.”

“Megan provided excellent and compassionate care for my American Bully, Kash while I was visiting the area from out of town. She communicated promptly and effectively and sent photos and updates throughout the weekend.

After playing with Meagan's two dogs on her beautiful country property for a weekend, Kash returned to me safe, happy, and utterly exhausted!”

“Jahada and Heaven were excellent with my baby Cloud. I was afraid I wouldn’t find anyone on such a short notice that my dog would get to know and trust so easily. He has been attacked by other dogs in the past and hurt by people so I was worried he wouldn’t like any new people but boy was I wrong! He loved being at their house and got to run around outside and got yummy healthy treats ? I’ll definitely be using them in the future ❤️”
“Scott loves dog and my dog had a great time with him. What attracted my attention at the beginning was Scott’s long term experience of taking care of dogs and turned a rescued dog into a therapy dog. During meet and greet, Scott was transparent and he told me his life stories particularly with dogs by showing many pictures. He missed his last dog Jack very much. He also patiently learned my dog’s behavior in order to make my dog being less stressful and comfortable during boarding. He was willing to make changes to accommodate my dog’s behavior and he prepared well before I dropped off my dog. He updated me at least once a day with multiple pictures. I could see my dog was happy, playful and tired. When I picked up my dog, Scott reviewed details with me what happened during my dog’s stay. I highly recommend Scott being your dog sitter. Your dog will be in good hands.”
