“Mayra and her husband was so warm welcoming! They let me know where Milo would be playing and hanging out. Which left me at easy leaving my baby boy. As well Mayra loves playing little games with the doggies she sent me a video of my Milo playing the game and doing so well! She shared pictures as well and always communicated with me when i would ask about Milo. Milo came back so happy ❤️ I would definitely book again with Mayra! Thank you so much!”
“We were anxious to have our dog in an environment with another dog that she has not met, since she can be a little unpredictable. Tristan set up a meet and greet and was confident that our dog would adjust. We are thankful to him for watching her for the weekend when we were in a bind and needed a sitter. We would definitely book again with Tristan if he’d take her!”
“AMAZING! Words cannot express how grateful I am for Mike and his family! He took such great care of my puppy, Emmylou. It was like she was staying with family, not a pet service. Every day I was away I got pictures and videos and updates on how my girl was doing. Emmylou was so happy with them and their pup and others staying. The pictures speak for themselves on how happy Emmy was. I plan on using him as needed for boarding and occasional daycare. I felt completely at ease and at peace knowing my pup was in wonderful hands. I would recommend him 1000%. Absolutely blown away with her care! Rover.com is lucky to have him!”
“Megan is a very experienced dog person who knows just how to put new Rover users at ease. She took very good care of our energetic young dog and updated us often with pics during our week long vacation. Her big yard and pond down the road is an excellent setting for most active dogs. We will be back again!”
“Rocky had a great time with Nan and family. Our experience was top notch (right from Face time before confirmation to every step of the way). We received regular updates through out the stay and Rocky came back as a happy pet. Thank you Nan and Family for taking care of our little big boy ?”
“Reshma was absolutely wonderful! I was so nervous about leaving my boy with someone and she made it an absolutely wonderful, stress free experience. She went above and beyond giving him extra care when he was having anxiety and sending us daily pictures and updates. I truly could not be happier with how well cared for and loved he was with her. He loved her so much that he almost didn't want to leave! I could not be more thankful and as long as Reshma is doing this I will never board him with anyone else!”
“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“Tiffany took wonderful care of Koda while I was away. She stayed in contact with photo updates, and I could tell Koda was well adjusted and happy to be there!”
“Brooke, Jeremy and Family were absolutely wonderful! Five stars, 10/10 ! Thank you for the care and attention you gave our Pomeranian babies! The daily photos made us so happy!”
“Kimberle was fantastic with our 2 dogs. This was their first stay away from home and she treated them as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to soothe their nerves and provide a comfortable environment for them. Would recommend highly!”
About: Hi! My name is Joan. I am recently retired and live on a farm. I have had dogs most of my life and have felt the passion to start dog sitting after losing our 15 yr old beloved dog fairly recently. I sure miss having furry four legged ones around to share my love for dogs, and want to be able to love on yours as I would my own. Having used Rover many times in the past for our own dog over the years, I know how very important it is to find someone you know you can trust to love & care for your pup, that perfect place that you won’t have to worry about them while you hoomans are away, that would be Me! I live on a farm with lots of acreage for running and playing. I also have experience with administering medications if needed. I want to make a worry free home away from home experience for your best friend(s) while mom & dad are away. With being retired, and pretty much a homebody, I will make sure that I will be home at all times to care for your pup. Potty breaks and play time will be frequent, with living on a farm we will be sure and have plenty of walking and running space for your pup. I live on a tucked off the road farm with plenty of acreage to run and play. Our farm is not a working farm, meaning we have no farm animals on the property. I have never crated any of my dogs, therefore I would not be crating yours unless of course you ask me to and provide the crate.
“Jennifer was so understanding, kind, and compassionate with my anxious senior dog. I used her for an overnight visit and my quickly felt comfortable at her home. I highly recommend her and hope to use her services again!”
“Julie and Caleb were wonderful!!! Our pups had a great time, they came home super tired from all the playing they did. Communication was great, and quick. Julie even sent pictures and a video. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future needs.”
“Kanija, helped me feel at ease about leaving Nova with her. She reassured me that she would be okay and safe. She sent tons of pictures throughout her stay with her. She played, and treated Nova as part of her family. Thank you so much! Glad nova had a great time sharing with Kanija and her family. Highly recommend her if your looking for a dog sitter.”
“Loved loved loveddd Maria and her family! From the beginning she was very open and communication was great! She kept me updated and loved on my dog like she was part of the family. My dog is definitely sad to leave but I will be rebooking with Maria the next time I need help! Thank you and your family for loving my girl she had a blast!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. Cassandra made the process super easy. She sent many videos and pictures of my girl. I will use her again in the future.”
“Jim has watched our dog twice now and both times we have been very happy. We know that she is in good care. We receive multiple pictures a day. Our dog always has a great time, it’s like her own puppy vacation. We can safely say we have found our sitter for life!”
About: To me, pet sitting is never just a job; it is a commitment to keeping your best friend safe, happy, and loved. I know how deeply difficult it is to leave your dog behind. That is why my primary goal is to provide a seamless "home away from home" experience where your pet becomes a cherished part of my family. With over six years of dedicated dog care experience and as a proud parent to my own friendly 3.5-year-old dog, I understand canine behavior and companionship deeply. Your pup will instantly have a built-in playmate and a comforting routine. Your pup will never be lonely here, as I am home full-time to provide constant care, attention, and companionship, meaning our guest dogs enjoy round-the-clock supervision and love from dedicated adult. I maintain a reliable, active routine where our dog, Bruno, enjoys a 20 to 30-minutes walk twice every day, and your dog will be happily included in all of our daily strolls. While I do not have a fenced yard, your dog will get plenty of outdoor exercise and socialisation. Inside, I offer an incredibly spacious layout designed for canine comfort. I have a dedicated separate room and a large, finished basement where guest dogs can freely play, run around, and sleep securely. To ensure a safe, healthy, and clean environment for our young toddler, our own dog, and your pup, I ask that all guest dogs be fully potty trained and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Beyond offering a fun environment, I bring peace of mind. I am highly experienced in administering oral medications, so you can rest assured that any specific healthcare routines your dog requires will be handled safely, accurately, and on time. Because we have a toddler, I maintain a very clean, structured, and safe home environment where all interactions between dogs and children are closely supervised. I treat every guest dog like a member of our own family, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and personalized care!
“Her property is very beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like is that she didn’t have a fenced in area and that he was on a leash a lot of times when he was outside he did go for multiple walks. However, the fenced was my responsibility that I should’ve been more aware of for Gunner. He came home very happy.”

“Alyssa was amazing with my curious kitty while I was away on vacation. She didn’t miss a single detail! She goes above and beyond for her clients!! We are so grateful for her 😊”
“Absolutely Wonderful Cat Care! 🐾❤️ We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our 2 kittens and our adult cat! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Our cats were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were away. The communication was wonderful, and we truly appreciated all the updates and attention to detail. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.😸😻😸”

“Amelia has always done a great job taking care of my cat Dexter while I’m away. Every time I come home he is always happy. I always know that Amelia will take good care of Dexter while I’m away and I look forward to using Amelia in the future.”

About: I've lived with and cared for cats my whole life, and I can't remember a time that I wasn't in love with everything that has to do with cats. I've cleaned litter boxes since I was eight, I love brushing cats, and I take pride in being patient in gaining a cat's trust. I'm not afraid of any behavioral issues a cat may have.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and care needs, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I mainly have experience with older dogs (1 year to senior) and don’t shy away from the many needs dogs require in their twilight years. I primarily have been dog sitting for a close friend with two beagle mixes and can tell you they gave me enough experience to be able to handle the high energy and stubbornness that comes with their breed. I’m a huge animal lover so it’s all worth it in the end when our furry friends are happy and thriving! Due to life circumstances I am currently between jobs so my hours are set between 8am to 8pm ( not including overnight stays). Fell free to contact me for hour negotiations! I take great care in respecting the homes of pets and owners when I’m providing care. I strive to prevent messes when possible and make sure pets are fed, watered and their spaces are well maintained and home owners spaces are left the same or better than when they departed.
“For the first time ever, our cat wasn't traumatized by our vacation so Khadijah has my high recommendation! She kept trying to make friends with our antisocial kitty, took good care of him, our bird feeding, our plants and our home. She reported daily with photos which I really appreciated. She's responsible and caring and I'm grateful to her!”
About: I absolutely love cats and have four furry bosses of my own, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a kitty happy! On top of my personal experience, I spent time working in a veterinary clinic, where I handled cats of all temperaments and personalities. I am highly comfortable with everything from nail trims to dedicated overnight sitting. I treat every cat like family and would be absolutely thrilled to watch your beloved pet!
“Thank you for taking care of Murphy! I am so happy to have found someone reliable and trustworthy to care for him. You did a fabulous job and I will be booking with you in future. Thanks, Tina!”
About: Hi! We are a family of 5 (mom, dad, and 3 girls whose ages are 16, 18, and 20) who love animals, being outdoors, and hanging out together. We are home almost every day because we homeschool. We are always walking and riding bikes around our neighborhood and love to go hiking, and also enjoy a nice evening relaxing by our fire and curling up with a good book. We offer a lower price because we know pet care can get expensive fast! We are always looking for ways to serve the community and this is one of the ways we can do it. The love and attention your pet will receive from my family is priceless! I've had a dog all my growing up life at home. We owned probably 5 different dogs and loved them all. Now my girls love dogs and thoroughly enjoy romping in the backyard. We homeschool and I work from home, so lots of attention will be lavished on your pet.

We have a large yard with a section fenced off for quick potty breaks.

About: While I only board small dogs, I have cared for dogs of all ages and breeds. I enjoy caring for, cuddling with and playing with dogs in my home and fenced in backyard. While in my care, your dog's safety and well-being is my priority. Your pet will have lots of play time in my backyard. I am available to provide specific dietary and care needs. I will do my best to make your fur baby feel "at home". I look forward to meeting them. Feel free to drop them off with a favorite blanket, toy, snack, or bed. As a stay at home mom and dog owner, I am available to provide plenty of outside time, meet specific requests and attend your dog's needs. While outside, your dog will be free to roam my fenced in yard. While indoors, your dog will be free to get cozy on the couch.
“Nan and family did a wonderful job looking after our dog Phineas. He stayed with them for daycare on two consecutive days. The home with two other dogs helped him to fit right into the family.”
“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”
“She was such an excellent host. My dog papaya gets incredibly nervous away from home and with strangers, and was frankly not on her best behavior. Even so, Kanija was kind, flexible, supportive, and allowed me to attend a very unpredictable family reunion where dogs were not always able to participate. It took a stressful time and turned it into a great one, and she was so friendly every time I came to pick papaya up at the end of the day.”
“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!”
“Lisa is THE BEST. Figgy had the best time on her gorgeous farm and with her sweet pups. Whenever we're in this area visiting our family we will be happy to come back to see Lisa. She treated our dog like her own and took excellent care of her. I highly recommend her for any sitting or boarding needs. Thanks Lisa, I hope we'll see you soon!”
“Best dog sitting experience we have had! Our dog has separation anxiety, but you would never have known it! He took to Jeanne and her crew like he knew then forever. When I picked him up at the end of the day he was as happy as can be and did not stop wagging his tail. Jeanne made me feel at ease from the moment I met her. Thank you so much and we will certainly use Jeanne and her gang again!”
“Jim was great with our dog! She has anxiety and abandonment issues and she felt right at home and relaxed with Jim. He sent us pictures of her without even being asked for them and is incredibly responsive. Recommend Jim for a day care and look forward to our first boarding experience in the near future.”
“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.”

About: I don’t know family without a dog, as I have always had at least one my whole life. For 10+ years, neighbors, friends & family have relied on me to walk, play & feed their pets for various durations of time. As someone who once lived across the country, I understand how stressful and scary it can be to leave your loved ones behind with a stranger, which is exactly why I’m committed to providing exceptional care & ensuring they feel at home while you’re gone! Due to relocating from Arizona, I am currently in between jobs. With that, I have plenty of time to give your pup the TLC he or she needs while you’re away. Additionally, my boyfriend works from home so someone will be home with the dogs at all times. I will take care of your fur baby like it’s my own! I will provide daily updates & pictures to put your mind at ease while you’re away. I have a 1 year old Golden Retriever who loves nothing more than other dogs, so your pup will have access to unlimited playtime in a fully fenced backyard!

About: Woof!!, Hello in dog language :) I don't currently own a dog but have had dogs in the past. I have 3 cats and if your dog does not like cats, they are perfectly fine hanging out in the basement during your dog's stay. This is my 7th year pet sitting. I am very reliable and have pet sat for my neighbors, friends and family's pets. I volunteered for a pet shelter for six months cleaning cages and walking dogs. Sitting for your dog will allow me to get a pooch-fix and send them home, kinda like grandkids LOL.... Thank you for reading my profile. Hope to see you and Fido soon! I currently work out of the home part-time, leaving at 6am returning by 9am. I am Home till 1pm and returning at 4. Thank you! I have a fenced yard for the pets to run and play in. I have a large dog crate if that is what your dog uses, they are welcome to use mine.
“Khadija was great with my dog Mochi! Mo can be a handful due to reactivity to other dogs, and he's 70lbs of muscle that requires both strong, confident and gentle handling. Khadija handled him with ease, and he really took to her from day 1. He always came home super happy from his walks with her and we will definitely use her again. Thanks Khadija!”
About: Hello my name is Kanija S, and I love providing pets with the love and care they need. Pets deserve only the best, and they deserve quality attention. I take them on long walks, give them the medication they need, feed them, and spend quality time with them. Years. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own. I want you to feel comfortable with me taking care of your baby and know I would love and care for him. I have been working with animals since I was 16 years old and I had dog's of my own when I was growing up as a child.I look forward to hearing from you soon and getting to know you and your dog.

“We were anxious to have our dog in an environment with another dog that she has not met, since she can be a little unpredictable. Tristan set up a meet and greet and was confident that our dog would adjust. We are thankful to him for watching her for the weekend when we were in a bind and needed a sitter. We would definitely book again with Tristan if he’d take her!”
“AMAZING! Words cannot express how grateful I am for Mike and his family! He took such great care of my puppy, Emmylou. It was like she was staying with family, not a pet service. Every day I was away I got pictures and videos and updates on how my girl was doing. Emmylou was so happy with them and their pup and others staying. The pictures speak for themselves on how happy Emmy was. I plan on using him as needed for boarding and occasional daycare. I felt completely at ease and at peace knowing my pup was in wonderful hands. I would recommend him 1000%. Absolutely blown away with her care! Rover.com is lucky to have him!”
“Megan is a very experienced dog person who knows just how to put new Rover users at ease. She took very good care of our energetic young dog and updated us often with pics during our week long vacation. Her big yard and pond down the road is an excellent setting for most active dogs. We will be back again!”
“Rocky had a great time with Nan and family. Our experience was top notch (right from Face time before confirmation to every step of the way). We received regular updates through out the stay and Rocky came back as a happy pet. Thank you Nan and Family for taking care of our little big boy ?”
“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“Brooke, Jeremy and Family were absolutely wonderful! Five stars, 10/10 ! Thank you for the care and attention you gave our Pomeranian babies! The daily photos made us so happy!”
“Kimberle was fantastic with our 2 dogs. This was their first stay away from home and she treated them as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to soothe their nerves and provide a comfortable environment for them. Would recommend highly!”
About: Hi! My name is Joan. I am recently retired and live on a farm. I have had dogs most of my life and have felt the passion to start dog sitting after losing our 15 yr old beloved dog fairly recently. I sure miss having furry four legged ones around to share my love for dogs, and want to be able to love on yours as I would my own. Having used Rover many times in the past for our own dog over the years, I know how very important it is to find someone you know you can trust to love & care for your pup, that perfect place that you won’t have to worry about them while you hoomans are away, that would be Me! I live on a farm with lots of acreage for running and playing. I also have experience with administering medications if needed. I want to make a worry free home away from home experience for your best friend(s) while mom & dad are away. With being retired, and pretty much a homebody, I will make sure that I will be home at all times to care for your pup. Potty breaks and play time will be frequent, with living on a farm we will be sure and have plenty of walking and running space for your pup. I live on a tucked off the road farm with plenty of acreage to run and play. Our farm is not a working farm, meaning we have no farm animals on the property. I have never crated any of my dogs, therefore I would not be crating yours unless of course you ask me to and provide the crate.
“Jennifer was so understanding, kind, and compassionate with my anxious senior dog. I used her for an overnight visit and my quickly felt comfortable at her home. I highly recommend her and hope to use her services again!”
“Julie and Caleb were wonderful!!! Our pups had a great time, they came home super tired from all the playing they did. Communication was great, and quick. Julie even sent pictures and a video. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future needs.”
“Kanija, helped me feel at ease about leaving Nova with her. She reassured me that she would be okay and safe. She sent tons of pictures throughout her stay with her. She played, and treated Nova as part of her family. Thank you so much! Glad nova had a great time sharing with Kanija and her family. Highly recommend her if your looking for a dog sitter.”
“Loved loved loveddd Maria and her family! From the beginning she was very open and communication was great! She kept me updated and loved on my dog like she was part of the family. My dog is definitely sad to leave but I will be rebooking with Maria the next time I need help! Thank you and your family for loving my girl she had a blast!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. Cassandra made the process super easy. She sent many videos and pictures of my girl. I will use her again in the future.”
“Jim has watched our dog twice now and both times we have been very happy. We know that she is in good care. We receive multiple pictures a day. Our dog always has a great time, it’s like her own puppy vacation. We can safely say we have found our sitter for life!”
About: To me, pet sitting is never just a job; it is a commitment to keeping your best friend safe, happy, and loved. I know how deeply difficult it is to leave your dog behind. That is why my primary goal is to provide a seamless "home away from home" experience where your pet becomes a cherished part of my family. With over six years of dedicated dog care experience and as a proud parent to my own friendly 3.5-year-old dog, I understand canine behavior and companionship deeply. Your pup will instantly have a built-in playmate and a comforting routine. Your pup will never be lonely here, as I am home full-time to provide constant care, attention, and companionship, meaning our guest dogs enjoy round-the-clock supervision and love from dedicated adult. I maintain a reliable, active routine where our dog, Bruno, enjoys a 20 to 30-minutes walk twice every day, and your dog will be happily included in all of our daily strolls. While I do not have a fenced yard, your dog will get plenty of outdoor exercise and socialisation. Inside, I offer an incredibly spacious layout designed for canine comfort. I have a dedicated separate room and a large, finished basement where guest dogs can freely play, run around, and sleep securely. To ensure a safe, healthy, and clean environment for our young toddler, our own dog, and your pup, I ask that all guest dogs be fully potty trained and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Beyond offering a fun environment, I bring peace of mind. I am highly experienced in administering oral medications, so you can rest assured that any specific healthcare routines your dog requires will be handled safely, accurately, and on time. Because we have a toddler, I maintain a very clean, structured, and safe home environment where all interactions between dogs and children are closely supervised. I treat every guest dog like a member of our own family, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and personalized care!
“Her property is very beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like is that she didn’t have a fenced in area and that he was on a leash a lot of times when he was outside he did go for multiple walks. However, the fenced was my responsibility that I should’ve been more aware of for Gunner. He came home very happy.”
“This was my first time using Rover so i was very nervous. But after reading all her reviews, we chose Carole to take care of my 4 month old puppy Novie for 4 days and 3 nights and she took great care of her! She sent me lots of updates, responded quick when i texted, and sent lots of pictures showing Novie having a good time. I would use Carole again in a heartbeat.”
“Emanuel was absolutely amazing with my boy Goose. As a nervous mom he made me feel comfortable and took many photos & videos daily. I would 100% recommend him. Best experience for my boy.”
“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!”
