“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Rosa & her kids show my dog nothing but love every trip. Shes accomadating even when its last minute and always sends me pics & videos of my dog. I only use her on Rover now. Thank Rosa!!”
“We were very pleased with Debbie W. The setup is welcoming for a new dog, as long as the dog is friendly with other dogs, as ours is. They have a big fenced-in yard so that the dogs can spend lots of time outdoors. Debbie sent us lots of updates while our dog with staying with her, so that we were reassured the dog was doing well. This included how she ate and slept, which are the two most important pieces of information.”
“I appreciated the quick response and flexibility of adding a day. Our young golden doodle, Nelly, was well taken care of and happy. Accommodations were well suited for her since she likes attention and was able to make friends with other dogs. Michaela is nice and professional. The home is clean and safe for dogs with a fenced in yard. I always plan at the last minute but that wasn't a problem. I received swift responses. This was our first time using Rover but were very happy with the experience.”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“Crystal is not only patient, loving, and caring for our kitties, she also provides great peace of mind for us in being so flexible in arranging drop off and pick up times for our fur buds but also in adjusting to the eve changing medical requirements for our special kitty!”
“Kira came in clutch after another sitter booked many months in advance cancelled last minute. This wasn’t a short stay but a 10-day booking. She took good care of Charlie and as usual, he came home super happy after his dogcation.”
“Lorraine was great with my English bulldog Blu. She was very quick in responding to my messages. Two days before his stay with Lorraine he was bit by a spider and had an allergic reaction and she agreed to administer medication and took a great care of him. When we picked him up he looked happy and healthy so much so that he couldn’t care less that we were there to pick him up lol. Blu had a great time and we recommend and use Lorraine for future stays. Thank you”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I lived on a farm for years with cows, chickens, turkeys, and quail!

Your pets safety and your trust in me are my top priority. As an overbearing cat mom, I know just how important your pets are to your family.

“Lynnea took such great care of our girl, Piper! She posted pictures and videos of her regularly to give us peace of mind. I love the set up - a large fenced yard to run around, a covered patio to get out of the sun, and the "suite" where Piper slept. Lynnea's own dog, Ruger is a sweetheart. 💙 I have already asked Lynnea about day care for Piper to play and socialize with other dogs. We will definitely ask Lynnea to watch Piper again!”
“Alex was Phenomenal with our sweet girl! We constantly got updates, pictures and videos of our baby girl having a blast. Georgie didn't want to leave when it was time to go haha. I 100% recommend Alex and we will for sure be using her services again.”
“Jill and Scott were great with my dog! They took pictures and sent me updates everyday. They even met my niece with Lasso to exchange him! Everything was so smooth and easy and we really appreciate it with just moving to town and having no one to care for our dog I would highly recommend them and I would definitely use them again”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I’m around 10 years old. I myself have a yellow lab and a German shepherd along with 2 cats. I myself have personally trained both. I’m the person who is always out helping look for lost animals. Somehow lost animals also end up on my front porch looking for a way in. My son and I always stop to pet someone’s dog. I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to animals. Currently home for the summer not working. Available 24/7. No vacation plans. Large fenced in yard. Love to take my lab for walks/swims if your dog likes water. I’m up with my animals at 6 am for feedings and outside time. I would wake up when they wake up to take to the bathroom and feed. I’m usually up with my own animals around 6 am. Lots of playtime and fetch. Snuggles and treats. Walks.
“Dannah is amazing! My anxious little guy warmed to her immediately and had a fantastic stay. Dannah is extremely communicative and responsive - she is truly one of the best sitters I've worked with.”

“We were so happy to have Jasmine! We were gone for the holidays and she made sure to keep our cats very happy while we were away. With lots of photos each day and the little updates she sent, we felt very secure in being away from the house. She did a great job :)”
“I'm so glad we found Diana! I loved reading her updates from check-ins with our cat - they were very thorough and thoughtful, and it was great to know that our cat was happy and very well cared for while we were away.”
About: I have 25 years experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, needs, and ages. We live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard. Animals will receive the same care that I would expect for mine and be treated as members of the family. We have a large, fenced in, backyard and plenty of in and outdoor fun for your pup. They will be well attended to, and receive love and care from not just myself, but all members of the family. They are permitted on the furniture, in bed with us and to be where we are at anytime. There are beds and blankets in every room for their comfort. I am home full time so there is nearly always someone here with the pups and they are cared for and loved by all members of the family. Dogs can be fed up to 4x/day. There are cats in the household (they usually confine themselves to their basement palace,) children ages 2-9 all whom are extremely good with animals. We are a happy, hopping home, but able to provide quiet time and space for dogs who are easily overwhelmed. Your dogs will be well entertained with cuddles, plenty of time outside, games, love and toys galore. Dogs are not generally taken on walks around the neighborhood, unless requested, but do receive plenty of indoor and outdoor playtime with us (fetch, frisbee, etc) for physical and mental stimulation. If we do plan on going for a nice walk or a hike, the pups will accompany us. Single overnight booking includes 24 hours of care (e.g. 1p Sat-1p Sun, or any combo of 24 hours) with a total of 3 hours of leeway given. If you will be expecting the stay to be more than 24 hours (27 with leeway) please note in your message or book as one overnight and one day care (e.g. 10am Sat-7p Sun.) Walks and more are available as add on services. Add on service rates and info is sent upon booking or by request prior to booking, as Rover, unfortunately, does not have a spot for us to offer these and book it with the stay. All pet parents receive text and photo updates, unless not desired. We take safety very seriously: -All dogs are fed separately -Water is always available indoors and out. -House is kept dog proof from dangerous items the dogs could chew or eat. -Someone is always outside with the guest dog. -Exposure and indoor climate are limited, or adjusted, based on the dog's tolerance. -I am well educated in pet first aid and am also a human nurse -I have many years of dog training experience, including my own service dog. -In the extremely unlikely event that a dog would escape, all guest pups wear a bright orange collar stating that they are a guest in an unfamiliar area and our phone number, along with their normal collar and tags. -For the escape artist, again, in the very unlikely event they would become separated from us, they wear a very efficient gps tag to allow for a very rapid recovery. Escape artists are also attached to a 100 foot long lead while in the yard just as a safety precaution (our yard is well fenced but a very crafty dog could possibly find a way out). Your dog is our priority and his love and care is our passion. Please ask if you have any other questions. We work from home and someone is here 90% of the time. We can tailor our schedule to your specifications or as your pet needs. I have a large fenced in yard (currently the main fencing is damaged and shorter fencing of 3.5 feet in height is filling in the gaps. We can put your dog on a long lead to be able to roam a bit or take outside on leash only if the short fencing will not be adequate to contain your dog.) Someone is always outside with your dog to ensure their safety. We have gates and cat doors to separate animals if the need should arise or during feeding time for your dog and ours.) Our black lab is extremely submissive and playful and will keep your dogs entertained as long as they want to play. She will leave them alone if they do not. Our youngest child, though very good with animals, is never left alone with the guest dog(s).
About: I have a special place in my heart for cats as both of my cat babies were off the street stray rescue kittens that I have nursed back to health. I have a Russian blue and an orange one! I can do whatever cat care is needed and know how to get along with some feisty cats.🐈 ❤️
About: I've grown up around cats of all kinds: house cats, feral, barn cats, you name it. I've even raised two litters of bottle babies. My cats are named Manson and Salem. Manson has been with me for over 10 years and is the other half of my soul (sorry to my husband). Salem is a certified daddy's girl and is still a little feral. Weather your feline wants unlimited chin scratches or zero eye contact with a 10 foot social distance, im happy to be there for them!
About: I've had my own dog for 11 years and I've pet sat for many friends/family. No dog is too big or too small. I have no issue with particular instructions, and will follow any rules you have in place for your dog I work full time on 1st shift, Monday to Friday, so I will be available evenings. On Saturday and Sunday, I will be available all day/night! I have a fenced yard and two dogs at my home. Most likely, our dogs will be separated at all times, even though mine are friendly. I would rather stay on the safe side. But I will treat your animal as my own while in my care. Giving them all the attention, love, and time they need while you're away.
“Kathleen was so amazing with our boy, Sunny. Sunny receives insulin and she came over the day before the actual booked date to ensure she knew the correct procedure. Very great service!!”
About: I have had extensive experience in pet sitting, providing a loving and reliable service for pet owners who entrust me with the care of their furry companions. Throughout my journey, I have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, arachnids, and small mammals. My passion for pet sitting began when I realized the significant need for trustworthy and compassionate individuals to look after people's pets while they were away. As a pet owner myself, I understand the worries and concerns that can arise when leaving your beloved animal in someone else's care. With this understanding, I strive to provide not only excellent pet care but also peace of mind for pet owners. During my pet sitting assignments, I prioritize building a strong bond with each pet by spending quality time with them and understanding their unique needs and preferences. I firmly believe that consistent communication and reassurance are key elements in ensuring a pet's well-being. I am currently looking to petsit full-time and only have two semi-regular clients. So I have pretty open availability and I offer overnights as well! I do petsitting at your place. I offer anywhere from 30 min drop ins to a few hour stays and some occasional overnights. Feeding, lots of loves and cleaning up after.
“Emili was wonderfully patient with our cat, who did not dare show his face to her. Despite our cat's shyness, Emili made sure that he was well fed and taken care of. We're so grateful to her and thanks to her care we came home to a cat who missed us quite a bit. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy, Emili! :)”
“Marián has been so great with Charlie. She is timely, sends updates, and makes sure everything is the way it was left. I appreciate her services and will be using her again! 10/10 experience!”
About: I have been taking care of cats for over 20 years. I’m great at clipping claws, cleaning and showing love ! I have 2 cats of my own who even have their own cat room with auto litter box, water fountain and cats toys galore.
About: I have had pets all my life! Cats and dogs! I currently have two labs. I am comfortable of taking care of dogs of any age or size. One of my dogs is currently on medication so I’m comfortable with giving dogs medication if needed! I work a full time job and have my two girls to take care of. I would be able to take care of your pets before and after work or on the weekends if I have availability! I will not be taking care of pets in my home at this time due to having two dogs of my own. Sorry for the inconvenience.
“I can’t thank Beth enough for taking such wonderful care of my two cats. I was able to truly enjoy my vacation knowing my babies were in the best hands. She kept me regularly updated and always reassured me that they were doing well. I’m so grateful for her care and attention.”
“Natalie has been such a saving grace to me and my pup! I’m a travel nurse in the area who works long shifts and Natalie was available during the odd hours I needed to watch my dog, even some days she wasn’t available she helped me figure out care for my dog still. A great sitter!”

“I feel so blessed to have found Rosa on Rover. She was so good with my 6-lb shitzu mix, Fiona. She sent me videos, updates, agreed to do a video call while I was on vacation and I have never seen Fiona so happy. She had her own vacation with Rosa and her family. I will certainly reach out to her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusting and professional pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Rosa!!!”

“I was overjoyed to hear that Emily was still available to sit my pups given the state of our world with the COVID-19 Pandemic! While working remotely has its advantages and disadvantages, one of which covers both: pets at home surrounding you when working, a blessing and a curse. Fortunately, by Emily's willingness to watch my dogs for a doggie day care and play date with her dogs gave me the needed relief from them and the necessary exercise for them. It worked out perfectly! While following CDC's guideline of 6-feet apart, not entering her home, and neither of us ill, I feel the day was a great asset to my remaining sane through this challenging landscape we all find ourselves in. Thanks, again, Emily! My pups love visiting and I love visiting your menagerie, too!!”

About: I have cared for animals for over 10 years on my own, which included letting them out taking them on walks, feeding them cleaning up outside bathing them. I also volunteer at shelters to help care for their animals. I have an extra few hours in my day, which allows me to have time to care for others when needed because I know how difficult it is to find a sitter while going away I would care for them just as I do my own with love respect and I would follow their routine and what they do for their pet so they feel comfortable while they are gone

“Diana has been so wonderful with my anxious pup. Laila has warmed up to her new human friend quicker than she does with most new people. She also gives her her medicine which is a huge relief.

Absolutely! 6lb 20 year old cat who wants to yell at me and avoid eye contact? Say less. I've dealt with epileptic dogs, bladder stones in cats, and even beakless chickens. I'm up for any challenge! As someone lucky enough to work from home, I can position my job around your pet schedule. Weather I bring my laptop and snuggle up with your pup for the afternoon, take lunch and take a walk with your pooch, or stop in in the evening after my shift to give your cat head kisses. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. Whatever your pets need, I'm your gal. I had 6 dogs growing up and like to think I know how to read them. Your pets safety and your trust in me are my top priority. As an overbearing cat mom, I know just how important your pets are to your family.

About: I have been taking care of pets my entire life my family always had a pack of dogs and tons of cats, i always see to it that each pets needs are met and that they are shown endless amounts of love. i worked in an animal shelter and volunteered at both a pet store and wild life reserve. i have loved animals since as long as i can remember. i do have a young child but she loves animals just as much as i do and she has been around them since she was born so she knows exactly how animals are to be treated and that is with the utmost respect and kindness. i would love to open my home and my heart to all of your pets so i hope to hear from you soon. :)
About: I’ve shown a love for all animals by taking care of my childhood dog and also my neighbors and friends dogs since I was 15. I would come home from school and all I could think about was taking my dog for a walk. Feeding them their meals was the highlight of my day, just to see them as happy as they were. I have 2 cats now and they are my literal children. I work full time, but with the mornings and evenings open I can walk and/or check in. I’m the kind of person that if you need someone to watch your pets on a dime, I’ll be there! I will not be having pets in my home (apartment complex) but when I am at a clients house, the pets comfort is my upmost priority. I would rather the pet get to know me a bit before any services. That is the pet’s home and I am a new human. I’d be afraid too!
About: I've had several dogs growing up into adulthood. I currently am employed as an EMT full-time 2 days a week, and a dog dad. My job allows me to see various dog behaviors, and how to deal with animals when they are stressed or in distress. As an animal lover myself, I know how hard it is to leave your loved one behind while away. I am trustworthy, respectful, and responsible; with credible references. I am currently looking to sit/walk during my off-time which happens to be about 5 days out of the week. I would be available anytime: morning, noon, or night. I have a larger dog named Bear. His name speaks for itself! He is 100 pounds of pure love for anything he sees. Bear is special and will give your pet space if need be. His previous best friend was a 6 pound Chihuahua! I have a small backyard if need be, but usually I will walk around town with a bag for cleanup.
“Sydney was always prompt at arriving for our dog's walk. She gave Chase extra attention since he was apprehensive about his new substitute walker. You can tell Sydney loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. She will be my first choice whenever I need another substitute walker for Chase! Definitely recommend her.”
About: I was raised with many pets, including 2 dogs. A pit bull and a shitzu mix. We raised kittens to find them their forever home. I bottle fed and nursed puppies that were without their mother. I learned the value of money by walking my Aunt's shitzu until I started high school. I naturally had an unspeakable connection with animals my whole life. I couldn't ever imagine my life without them. As of right now, our home is being ran by 4 dogs: Coach, Stella, Winnie, and Sage. And 2 cats: Sunny and Ash. Our backyard is big and fenced in. We let them out for an hour or so to get playtime and exercise in. Taking them for walks is not a good idea because Winnie can be reactive. We crate all of our dogs. They eat separately in their crates. Feeding instructions will be left in our refrigerator so they get their adequate amount. They also have slow feeding bowls.
“If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets just as much as you do, I recommend Dani!! We have two high energy pups that like to get out and stretch their legs while we’re at work. Dani is amazing with taking them on walks and to the dog park! My pups get so excited for when she comes to let them out! She’s absolutely amazing with communication and letting you know what’s going on! She’s truly an amazing person to have watching your dogs, I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have spent my entire life caring for pets and love animals. We currently have an indoor dog and 2 cats, all rescue pets. I’ve also previously had bunnys, birds and reptiles. I have worked as a pet sitter / dog walker on and off for the past 30 years. I do have a 17 year old daughter who also adores animals, we call her the pet whisperer! She loves helping care for animals, when possible. I do have reliable transportation with all wheel or four wheel drive at all times, your pet will not be forgotten about. I do prefer to work with animals that have been spayed or neutered but have worked with those that have not been. I am currently a stay at home mom and hope to remain in this capacity. That being said I am available most days and times! For pets visiting my home we have a large front and back yard, tho not fenced in your pet will be on a leash outside at all times.
“Marian was very willing to provide her dog walking services on such a short notice after I had a previous plan backfire on me. While I couldn't meet her beforehand, we put in a plan for her to get my keys so she can meet Bandit and take him for walks. She was very professional and from what I can tell, Bandit enjoyed his time with her and the walks. Highly recommend Marian and will definitely be using her for future needs!”

“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
“I appreciated the quick response and flexibility of adding a day. Our young golden doodle, Nelly, was well taken care of and happy. Accommodations were well suited for her since she likes attention and was able to make friends with other dogs. Michaela is nice and professional. The home is clean and safe for dogs with a fenced in yard. I always plan at the last minute but that wasn't a problem. I received swift responses. This was our first time using Rover but were very happy with the experience.”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“Crystal is not only patient, loving, and caring for our kitties, she also provides great peace of mind for us in being so flexible in arranging drop off and pick up times for our fur buds but also in adjusting to the eve changing medical requirements for our special kitty!”
“Kira came in clutch after another sitter booked many months in advance cancelled last minute. This wasn’t a short stay but a 10-day booking. She took good care of Charlie and as usual, he came home super happy after his dogcation.”
“Lorraine was great with my English bulldog Blu. She was very quick in responding to my messages. Two days before his stay with Lorraine he was bit by a spider and had an allergic reaction and she agreed to administer medication and took a great care of him. When we picked him up he looked happy and healthy so much so that he couldn’t care less that we were there to pick him up lol. Blu had a great time and we recommend and use Lorraine for future stays. Thank you”

“I was able to thoroughly relax and enjoy my own vacation knowing that Maggie was loved, well care for, and had other dogs to play with. I will definitely keep this service and Kristen M. in my contacts for all my future needs.”
“Lynnea took such great care of our girl, Piper! She posted pictures and videos of her regularly to give us peace of mind. I love the set up - a large fenced yard to run around, a covered patio to get out of the sun, and the "suite" where Piper slept. Lynnea's own dog, Ruger is a sweetheart. 💙 I have already asked Lynnea about day care for Piper to play and socialize with other dogs. We will definitely ask Lynnea to watch Piper again!”
“Jill and Scott were great with my dog! They took pictures and sent me updates everyday. They even met my niece with Lasso to exchange him! Everything was so smooth and easy and we really appreciate it with just moving to town and having no one to care for our dog I would highly recommend them and I would definitely use them again”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I’m around 10 years old. I myself have a yellow lab and a German shepherd along with 2 cats. I myself have personally trained both. I’m the person who is always out helping look for lost animals. Somehow lost animals also end up on my front porch looking for a way in. My son and I always stop to pet someone’s dog. I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to animals. Currently home for the summer not working. Available 24/7. No vacation plans. Large fenced in yard. Love to take my lab for walks/swims if your dog likes water. I’m up with my animals at 6 am for feedings and outside time. I would wake up when they wake up to take to the bathroom and feed. I’m usually up with my own animals around 6 am. Lots of playtime and fetch. Snuggles and treats. Walks.
“This was our first time using Marian as a Rover sitter. She allowed me into her home to view the areas my dogs would be kept. It was a beautiful space and I didn't hesitate to leave them in her good hands. Within an HOUR or two of drop-off - we had an unexpected situation when one of our dogs became very stressed and sick due to the new environment. Marian kept me informed right away, was incredibly patient and compassionate and worked with me to come up with the best solution for my dogs. She even transported them to our home and transitioned our booking to drop in visits - which I so appreciated. She was kind, flexible, understanding - even after my dog had multiple accidents in her home - which had never happened before. She reassured us that she was a professional and used to these situations. We were able to proceed with our booked getaway ONLY because of Marians professionalism and kindness and flexibility. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional sitter.”
“Rodger is amazing. We have a 2-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog who is HIGH energy and very large. Rodger was wonderful, sending frequent text and photo updates of our dog's care. Our dog got great care and came back happy! We have used Rodger before and we will continue to use him!”
“Stacy was great! She was flexible with our constantly changing schedule and she sent us pictures and kept us updated on all the fun our pups were having while we were away! We will definitely be repeat customers! So glad we found her. ?”
“Daniel and his kids were awesome with Charlie. He was able to meet with some accommodations that were required for the drop off. He took Charlie around and kept us updated throughout the stay. I recommend and will book again.”
