“Johanna was absolutely excellent with my pup Mia. She kept me updated everyday by sending pictures and videos. Her dog Stella is very sweet and playful.

“Vivian and her family are wonderful! We have used them several times and our little Timmy really seems to enjoy going there! They take such great care of him and send loads of pictures!”
“I was so pleased with Carol's care of my Yorkie. She did an excellent job and he was so very well taken care of. I could not be happier. I was also very reassured he was in good hands as she is a regular foster parent for dogs and has lots of experience. Thank you Carol!”
“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”
“Jessica is THE BEST!! This is the first time I’ve used Rover. Jessica went above and beyond taking care of Betty! I had no worries! She sent pictures and a video! Jessica always answered my texts.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from dogs and cats to horses and other pets, at every stage of life. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience and care, including bathing and tending to their individual needs. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care with the same compassion, attention, and respect I would give my own. I unfortunately recently got laid off. So I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pets. Most weekends I like to spend with my family but I am willing to work something out. I have a beautiful neighborhood with just shy of half a mile walk around the block for pets that need walking. Our home provides a nice open floor plan for bigger animals to feel right at home. If I'm coming to your neck of the woods then we'll discuss a pre-approved walking path that everyone feels comfortable with.
About: I would like to own my own pup, but my lifestyle doesn't allow me to give it the attention it needs. Dog sitting is the perfect balance between allowing me to care for a pup when I'm available and not having to worry about the responsibility when I'm traveling. My family owns 4 cats - Peaches, Pepper, McCoy and Wonks. They are cool cats, and are mostly unbothered by other pups being around, as they grew up with my father's dog - Jake Dog. Jake Dog is a very intelligent GSP whom I had a hand in training and learning training techniques in both public puppy school and in home private lessons. Not that I want to train your dog, I just want to walk it and play fetch with it. I will only take in a dog that I am able to commit to full time for the duration of their stay. I needed three more words to complete this prompt, so that is the purpose of this sentence. I do not have a fenced in yard. But I can take your dog on walks through my neighborhood. I live on a dead end street with cul-de-sacs on each end.
“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”
“Adisyn took amazing care of our Clyde when we were out of town for the weekend. He had Teddy as an amazing playmate. Adisyn periodically would give updates with photos on how he was doing and activities they were up to. She was also a life saver as our plane ride home ended up cancelled, leaving Clyde there an extra night. She was very understanding and flexible. We will 100% think of Adisyn & Teddy for future stays. Clyde enjoyed his time there:)”
“Patrick was great with our pups, Yeti and Casper, and seemed to take very good care of them while we were out of the country. We also appreciated the daily updates with pictures! We will definitely take them back next time we are out of town.”
“Took great care of our pup Jeter while I was away for business! Thankful for the outside time they made sure he had and of course making his stay feel just like being at home!”

“Cristina was a fantastic drop-in pet sitter for our cats! I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing she had them taken care of. She followed my instructions for dosing our elderly cat with his medicine perfectly, and even cleaned up litter. She went above and beyond my requests, and it was much appreciated!”
“Rachel took great care of all 4 of my cats! She spent time with them and gave Jake his meds, no problem. She's got a great attitude and attention to detail. I'd definitely use her again.”
“Hailey did a wonderful job visiting our 3 cats while we were on vacation! She communicated with us what was happening with them, sent pictures, and even helped bring in our mail and packages and water our outdoor plants! My mind was at ease while vacationing that our home and pets were taken care of. I would definitely recommend her for your pets needs!!”
“Alexis was in regular contact with us throughout our time away, asking questions to take the best care of our pets. And it helped having an animal lover caring for them. Thanks, Alexis!”
“Kayla was great with watching our pups while we were gone for the weekend. They love her and she did a great job with communicating and sending pics while she was at our house. I would definitely recommend Kayla!”
“Olivia is great and very accommodating! I asked for her help last minute and she didn’t hesitate to step up. I have 2 cats and they both love her. I know she also has a pet dog of her own and has had pet cats as well. She is a natural with animals and we appreciated her help.”
“Heather was wonderful with my cats! She provided excellent updates and pictures. She made sure that one cat always got to play with her favorite toy. My other cat is very shy. In the past, the sitters haven’t been able to get her to come out at all, and Heather had her feeling comfortable after a couple of days! We will always try to use her when we travel.”

“Have met and used Emily several times with great results. Happy to answer all the good questions she asks and never thought to ask ourselves. Very nice young lady, clearly enjoys spending time with our fur babies and understands their needs. Would highly recommend.”

I have had pets my whole life and worked full-time for a local Humane Society for over 4 years as well as a traditional boarding kennel for 2 years. I look forward to caring for others pets while they are away, as well as offering the assurance and comfort to a pet owner that their baby is being taken care of in a safe, professional and loving manor outside of a kennel environment. I also have experience with elderly and special needs animals. I have a flexible work schedule so I can work around your schedule! I can come up to three times a day, whatever times you may need. Whatever your wishes are for your pet as far as crating, running in a fenced yard, or having to be individually walked I am open to working to keep your pet on the same routine as if you were home!
“We hired Shannon to do drop in visits of our cat for 8 days. She did a great job! She was always very responsive to texts, and we appreciated that she spent some time giving our cat attention during each visit. She sent a lot of pictures while we were away and he really seemed to warm up to her.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Irwin
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I helped my parents raise 2 puppies and now I've raised my own! I know basic training skills to the extent of what the internet has taught me, but when it comes to the care of dogs, I have a full lifetime's experience. I work full time, however I love animals and am more than happy to drop in, or even walk after. I am also capable of being home full time if there is a boarding request If you ask me to take your baby for a few days in my home, with your permission I’d be more then happy to take them on a nice long walk or hike too! I have a dog of my own, an Aussiedoodle who loves everyone and everything. So just keep that in mind when booking with me!
About: Hello! I’m Emma! I run my own dog sitting business as well as rover! I have many years of animal care including almost a year at a boarding kennel and animal rescue that I volunteered for. I have trained multiple puppy’s so if you also need training advice or just a training session please let me know! I will leave your house at the end of the day with a photo sent to you of your babies and a smile on your face! I currently work a twilight shift so I am available anytime after 11am to spend time with your fur babies when you’re away at work or vacation! My first priority is making sure that the fur baby is comfortable with me before I fully enter the home. If you need a stop-in visit I will make sure their special instructions have been completed (as in full water and food or any medications needed)

“I brought my two fur babies to Pittsburgh, PA to be with me while I attended my class reunion. I found Ms. Carol on Rover. Immediately when I saw her face I knew she was the one I could trust my babies with. Ms. Carol, I’m so pleased to have met you. My babies were safe, looked after as if they were hers, attended to when needed, but most importantly, welcomed into her home by her fur babies.”
About: Growing up, my family relied on me to care for our dogs, cats, and hamsters. I now live in my own home with 4 cat babies. I've dog-sat and cat-sat for several neighbors. I'm experienced at dog and cat walking, bathing, feeding, and medicine-giving. During the week I work as a full time engineer and cat mom. On the weekends, I have plenty of free time to hang out, play in the yard, or go for walks with your pet. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages (1 yr, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, 6yrs). They are friendly and well-adapted to other dogs and cats. They often have playdates with my parent's 16 year old cat and 7 month old kitten. Each of my cats are vaccinated, neutered, and love making new friends! In your home, I will accommodate any requests you may have. I will ensure the safety and happiness of your pet above all else.

“My dog's stay with Beatriz was great! Needed a last minute sitter and she was quick to respond and accommodate us. She is super thorough in vetting dogs to make sure that everyone gets along at her house. My dog is blind and she made sure he was safe and well taken care of. Very easy drop off and pick up process. Would highly recommend Beatriz for all your Rover needs!”

“Chris and Finley are lovely! Jovi had a great time and made great friends. She also came home tired from all the fun they had on walks and at the dog park. We felt safe leaving Jovi with Chris and Finley. We knew she was in caring, loving hands and paws.”

About: While I am currently unemployed and staying at my parents home, our family dog (Havanese) of 17 years recently passed away in February 2026. Now that my mother is retiring this summer, we wish to fill the empty home, and our combined newly gained free time, with some furry friends! For in-home boarding we will be a mother-son team with pretty wide open schedules to care for our furry guests, and will provide a great big house and yard in a great pet-friendly neighborhood for them to enjoy! I can also sit at your home if that is more convenient for you and the pet. My parents dog recently passed away at the age of 17. While I was living with them I helped to raise and care for her throughout the years. I thankfully and gratefully have always had dogs to care for throughout my entire life, from as a young child all the way to just recently with the passing of our most recent dog in February 2026. Your pet will have our full attention and their health and happiness will be the priority. We don't live very busy lives and have lots of extra free time now to care for them.
“Beatriz was amazing!!! She was so willing to help us in a bind for a last minute booking and we are so glad we met her! We have 2 chihuahua mixes; one is very anxious and can be a handful sometimes. He is quite fearful of new people, animals, and places. Within minutes of us dropping the dogs off, Beatriz texted me photos of both dogs playing in a pack with others and even snuggling up with her soaking up the attention! It was amazing. She is so patient and kind. Truly someone we would certainly trust with our dogs again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I currently have two Basset Hounds, ages 3 and 4, two 9-year-old pigs who are kept completely separate from the dogs, and a cat. I grew up with German Shepherds and reptiles, and over the years I’ve also had Great Danes, hamsters, ferrets, crayfish, and plenty of other animal friends. I’m comfortable with everything from big dogs to small animals, and I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. I know how hard it can be for pets when their people are away, so my biggest priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as at home as possible. Whether that means lots of attention and playtime, a good walk, couch cuddles, or simply giving a more independent pet their space, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’ll treat your pets like I’d want someone to treat my ow, with patience, affection, and plenty of attention. 🐾 I am currently home all day and night most week days and some weekends. Your pets will be loved on constantly the entire time they are here. My two Bassets love having company and are always up for playing or cuddling. There’s plenty of couch space for dogs who like to snuggle, and they even have access to the bed—with stairs! I’m happy to accommodate both the social butterfly who wants to be part of everything and the dog who would rather have some space to relax. I don’t have a fully fenced-in yard, but I have plenty of yard space in a quiet neighborhood. There is a small, short fenced area directly off the porch with a patch of grass for quick potty breaks. Dogs can also be taken outside on a leash or tethered, depending on what they’re accustomed to and what their owner prefers. I’m also very accustomed to accidents in the house—one of my Bassets, Polly, has them regularly—so a dog who isn’t perfectly house-trained, has occasional accidents, or needs more frequent potty breaks is absolutely not a problem. I have an XL crate if that is something they prefer. My other Basset, Hank has bad anxiety and takes daily medications so that is not a problem either. Most importantly, I know being away from their people and usual surroundings can be stressful for pets. I want your dog to feel like they’re staying at a second home rather than just being boarded somewhere. I’ll do my best to stick to their routine, learn their quirks, give them plenty of attention, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back 🐾❤️
“Tracie was absolutely fantastic with Nova. She came home each day ready for bed as she played all day long, which is truly amazing being she never gets tired. She also loved spending time with Tracie and her family doing countless activities, cuddles sessions, and walks!”

“Gary has been friendly and easy-going. Will definitely book again. I appreciate the attention to detail he gives each of the dogs and their walking/feeding habits. Thanks very much!”
“I highly recommend Kelly for dog walking. She is incredibly reliable, always arriving right on time. I really appreciated her consistent communication, which kept me at ease while I was away.”

About: I have loved animals since I was a small child. I got my first cat over 15 years ago and still love her dearly. My parents wouldn’t allow me to have a dog so I had to wait until I moved out when I was 20. After buying my house I rescued my neighbors dog that was permanently locked up in an outdoor kennel. Unfortunately she already had Lyme disease so it was for less than a year that I was able to give her a good quality of life. I then adopted my ex-coworkers German Shepard who was 5. Unfortunately despite all my efforts to have her live longer than her lifespan I lost her years later due to paralyzing seizures. Not too long after that I sold my house and have not been stable enough to get another dog due to my constant traveling. I love dogs and want to have another but can’t make a life long commitment at this time. However I can make a day/week/month long commitment to take care of your loved dog. It would be a pleasure to take care of your fur baby/babies. I work from home so I’m only gone for a couple/few hours out of the day to go to the gym and maybe grocery shop. I frequently go on walks when the weather permits and would love to bring your dog with me. If you have a dog who pulls as hard as they can I do prefer that you have a gentle leader. I am available all days and times when I am not traveling. I have a large yard at the end of a cul-de-sac in a nice neighborhood. I do have two cats who have lived with dogs before. If watching your loved pet I ask for details on what your expectations are to insure that you are 100 percent satisfied with my care for your fur baby.
About: I come from a house where pets are treated like family members. From bunnies to horses, Ive had experience with many. I can also administer medication. I have my own organic dog treats business and I will take care of your babies as I do my own! I am currently working a full-time from home with my pups. I have a big fenced backyard where the dogs can have some outdoor time and we love going for walks. I have two small dogs that are very friendly and a doberman! They are super playful and love other dogs. I work from home full-time and my office is where my pups are. They are spoiled all day long. My dogs are very friendly and love to play but if at any point they need a little break, there is plenty of space for one on one time! I have a fenced backyard where they spend some time and a door that connects to my office so they can choose when to be inside or outside.
About: My own shy dog has opened my eyes about the need for fear-free care. I have spent a lot of time learning about behavior and strategies to help keep dogs happy and safe. I love all dogs and going for walks. I would be happy to give your dogs the care and attention they deserve. Available mornings and evenings (before and after work). I work from home with some flexibility, so I can provide limited lunchtime-midday if requested. Complete availability on weekends. I use harnesses with a safety strap to a collar for my own reactive/escape artist dog. We walk only in safe environments, where the dog feels comfortable. I recognize when a dog feels stressed or uncomfortable, and aim to keep every experience positive.
“Had a last minute same day request for our 6 month old puppy Zari! Rebecca responded immediately and was able to accommodate the drop in/walk visit! Communication was excellent. We will be utilizing her again in the future.”
About: I started caring for animals at age 4 when I began riding and working at a barn with 25 horses. At age 14, I began my first job at a pet grooming and boarding facility. At 19, I began pet sitting for families on my summers home from college. Animals have always been a big part of my life and I enjoy spending my time with them. I have cared for animals of all ages, so I am equipped with the knowledge to handle seniors, babies, and everyone in between. I have also cared for animals of all sizes, so I am able to handle animals from hamsters to horses. I have had years of experience administering medicine both orally and through injection. My experience allows me to notice details that keep animals safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a part time job working with kids. I am at that job from 8:30am-1:30pm Monday-Friday. In the evening, I go to the gym for an hour or two. I am a homebody, so if I’m not at work or in the gym, I will be spending all my time with your pet, giving them the attention and love that they deserve. I love spending time outside, so I try to take pets on walks or have them run around outside with me when I can. If our time cannot be spent outside, playtime is brought inside. We play until one of us needs to take a breather (usually the pet wins). During the evening, generally I spend quality time cuddling with pets while watching a movie or doing some schoolwork. I like taking pictures with pets to send to owners so they know their fur baby is well taken care of and happy.
About: Hi! Some things you might like to know about me: I’m a wife, I love animals (obviously) the outdoors, gardening, reading, history and I’m a nurse who graduated from Saint Vincent college - I could be a great fit for you and your pet! I’ve had many growing up: dogs, cats, goats, chickens and bunnies. I’m very comfortable with caring for animals and have experience with all different kinds from my own pets, friends, and animal shelter volunteering. I’m also open to watch and care for any other types of pets that might not fit the category of cat or dog! Message me so we can discuss! As a nurse, I only work 3 days per week! Typically one time or “on occasion” jobs work best, and attending 2x daily might not be possible if it’s on a day that i work and my 3 days that I work vary from week to week. However, please reach out anyways to see if this could be a perfect fit! I’d love to see what i could do. I’m a very responsible and organized person, so I could safely play with your dog(s) or cat(s) in your home or around the neighborhood. Being a nurse has made me much more aware and attentive of needs such as fresh water availability, food, safety and happiness for both people and animals!

About: I would like to own my own pup, but my lifestyle doesn't allow me to give it the attention it needs. Dog sitting is the perfect balance between allowing me to care for a pup when I'm available and not having to worry about the responsibility when I'm traveling. My family owns 4 cats - Peaches, Pepper, McCoy and Wonks. They are cool cats, and are mostly unbothered by other pups being around, as they grew up with my father's dog - Jake Dog. Jake Dog is a very intelligent GSP whom I had a hand in training and learning training techniques in both public puppy school and in home private lessons. Not that I want to train your dog, I just want to walk it and play fetch with it. I will only take in a dog that I am able to commit to full time for the duration of their stay. I needed three more words to complete this prompt, so that is the purpose of this sentence. I do not have a fenced in yard. But I can take your dog on walks through my neighborhood. I live on a dead end street with cul-de-sacs on each end.
About: I have experience taking care of big dogs, small dogs, big cats, small cats, chickens, lizards, rabbits, and fish. I have experience looking after pets of friends and family while they're out of the house for the past 5 years. I have a great deal of patience in training and caring for animals. I'm currently available on weekends, with Fridays most preferred. I work fulltime Monday through Thursday so at the moment those days are going to remain unavailable. I believe respect for animals, owners, and their environment to be super important. I adhere to any rules and guidelines when entering a client's home and I work to provide my client's pet with my utmost attention and full energy. I am down for taking pets on walks, playing with them till they wear themselves out, feeding and cleaning up after them, and anything else they might need.
About: I have experience in puppy obedience training and leash training, oral medication administration, experience handling dogs of all ages and sizes, especially with caring for stubborn dogs. Also I am very familiar with taking care of pups with anxiety or different fears. I am a full time student at Boston University, but have long breaks throughout my day where I could care for nearby pets in need of attention or walks, meaning lunchtime check ins or walks work particularly well with my schedule. I am happy to follow any preferences you have for pet care, including crating your dog (I have extensive experience crate training an unruly giant schnauzer puppy), leash preferences, and feeding schedules. I typically bring water bowls and extra water for my dogs on walks to keep them feeling their best and treats to keep them engaged (treat type depending on what your dog typically eats).
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have taken great care to ensure they are as happy as can be! I also occasionally dog sit for some senior dogs in my area! I am currently available every day of the week! I am more than happy to take your babies on walks, drop in, or dog sit any day including weekends! At this time I do not have any other pets in my home, I have a huge yard in a quiet neighborhood, if your fur baby needs extra care or attention I am more than happy to provide it!
“Olivia R. Is wonderful. You can tell she loves dogs. Olivia is very good with Crosby. If something comes up and you need to make a change to the scheduled walk she will accommodate you if possible. I highly recommend Olivia R.”
About: Hello! I’m Emma! I run my own dog sitting business as well as rover! I have many years of animal care including almost a year at a boarding kennel and animal rescue that I volunteered for. I have trained multiple puppy’s so if you also need training advice or just a training session please let me know! I will leave your house at the end of the day with a photo sent to you of your babies and a smile on your face! I currently work a twilight shift so I am available anytime after 11am to spend time with your fur babies when you’re away at work or vacation! My first priority is making sure that the fur baby is comfortable with me before I fully enter the home. If you need a stop-in visit I will make sure their special instructions have been completed (as in full water and food or any medications needed)

“Another wonderful experience with Lindsay. I love how she treats my pup like her own and he seems to fit right in with her and her family. She is such a lovely person; I can't say enough good things and would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“Nico always has a great time. Jennifer is really great about communicating and sending pictures/videos. The backyard is a great space for him to play and run around with her dogs.”
“Michelle took amazing care of our dogs while we were out of town! Her house and yard are a dog’s a paradise. She was also super responsive to messages and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend her for boarding!!”
“I loved Gary and his wife they were soooo good to Teddy I didn’t even have to worry about my dog for the first time ever . Teddy can’t wait to come back !!! Thanks guys see you again soon”
“Crystal was fantastic for my pup who needs to be the only dog in the house. She was very kind and sent photographs and updates every day of our trip. She accommodated all of his emotional needs as well as physical.”
“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from dogs and cats to horses and other pets, at every stage of life. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience and care, including bathing and tending to their individual needs. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care with the same compassion, attention, and respect I would give my own. I unfortunately recently got laid off. So I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pets. Most weekends I like to spend with my family but I am willing to work something out. I have a beautiful neighborhood with just shy of half a mile walk around the block for pets that need walking. Our home provides a nice open floor plan for bigger animals to feel right at home. If I'm coming to your neck of the woods then we'll discuss a pre-approved walking path that everyone feels comfortable with.
About: I would like to own my own pup, but my lifestyle doesn't allow me to give it the attention it needs. Dog sitting is the perfect balance between allowing me to care for a pup when I'm available and not having to worry about the responsibility when I'm traveling. My family owns 4 cats - Peaches, Pepper, McCoy and Wonks. They are cool cats, and are mostly unbothered by other pups being around, as they grew up with my father's dog - Jake Dog. Jake Dog is a very intelligent GSP whom I had a hand in training and learning training techniques in both public puppy school and in home private lessons. Not that I want to train your dog, I just want to walk it and play fetch with it. I will only take in a dog that I am able to commit to full time for the duration of their stay. I needed three more words to complete this prompt, so that is the purpose of this sentence. I do not have a fenced in yard. But I can take your dog on walks through my neighborhood. I live on a dead end street with cul-de-sacs on each end.
“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”
“Adisyn took amazing care of our Clyde when we were out of town for the weekend. He had Teddy as an amazing playmate. Adisyn periodically would give updates with photos on how he was doing and activities they were up to. She was also a life saver as our plane ride home ended up cancelled, leaving Clyde there an extra night. She was very understanding and flexible. We will 100% think of Adisyn & Teddy for future stays. Clyde enjoyed his time there:)”
“Took great care of our pup Jeter while I was away for business! Thankful for the outside time they made sure he had and of course making his stay feel just like being at home!”
“Emily took excellent care of my Barkley while I was traveling for a family wedding. Barkley was dealing with some seasonal allergies, and Emily sent me updates daily to let me know how he was feeling. He needed to take some medications and supplements during his stay, and Emily did a great job providing those, as needed. This was Barkley's first visit, and he enjoyed exploring the fenced yard and spending time with Emily's dogs. It was nice to know that Barkley was well cared for while I was away!”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“Shannon was very kind and accommodating. Shannon and her husband seem to really love animals and have a passion for taking care of them. Scarlet warmed up to them very quickly and came back the same happy dog she was when I left her. Shannon even went the extra mile for me, I had to pick up Scarlet early from her stay and Shannon exceeded in making it easy for me. She even went so far as to change the stay dates with Rover so I wouldn't be charged for the extra nights I booked. Great sitter and I would highly recommend her!”
“Tamakia was very great with communication from the start. She gave my dog the attention he needed and sent updates and pics throughout his stay. He received plenty of outside time and was able to make himself at home during his stay.”
“She was amazing with my Tucker. He is very energetic and he was very happy. Fast responses to texts and plenty of pictures. Tucker was very sad to leave. Will definitely use her again.”
