“Lorraine was awesome to work with, I would recommend her to anyone. She sent pictures of Jagger while I was gone, took him swimming, and he played outside. Her and her husband were both great to work with!”
“Debbie took such great care of our dog Charlie while we were away! We just moved to the area and were nervous about leaving him for the first time in a new place, but we got so many pictures and updates that it was clear Charlie was being well taken care of. He loved running around in the yard and being with the other dogs. We will absolutely have Debbie watch Charlie again!”
“This is the second time Amber has watched my pups. It is such a relief to be able to go on a vacation and not be stressed about leaving your pups. She updated me and sent pics daily. My pups really enjoy the stays and its like a vacation for them too. Thank you again, Amber”
“So my dog stayed for the first time this past weekend. He was well taken care of and I got daily photos and updates on him. I already booked another boarding with her for both of my dogs. I love the pick up and drop off service. It’s so convenient when you’re traveling to not have to worry about dropping your pets off or picking them up after a vacation. This is a great addition to her services.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Deirdre was amazing with our mini golden doodle! Our dog was so happy when we picked her up. I could tell she had a great time! Deirdre is kind and professional, and sent some great pictures of her having lots of fun on their beautiful farm! Will definitely go back again!”
“Laura is always wonderful with our fur baby! This visit she helped with my daughters puppy too. They were very well taken care of and came home very happy dogs. I would recommend Laura to anyone!”
“Tristan was a lifesaver! After another boarder canceled a week before our trip, we were scrambling to find someone to watch our dogs for a week. We haven’t left our dogs for overnight boarding in a few years and were worried about how they’d do…but it looks like they had a blast! Tristan sent pictures and videos of the dogs sleeping and playing throughout the week which put our minds at ease. Our dogs were excited to see us when we picked them up but then slept nearly all day - I take that as a sign that they had fun and wore themselves out :). Thank you Tristan!!”
“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”
“Erin is awesome. We have a Golden who gets very anxious and likes to be near a human at all times. Erin took amazing care of our dog. Excellent communication with us. Beautiful fenced yard & our dog had a blast playing with her dog. Highly recommend and have already made another booking.”
“My wife and I are very protective of our little dachshund Wella. When we read Julie's first response to our request, we knew right away that she and her family were the mature and responsible people we could trust to watch our dog. Julie sent multiple updates and photos to us while she had Wella, and that was very nice and reassuring. They did so great with Wella that she seemed to want to stay longer! The kids played so much with Wella that she needed to sleep in the next day! Great experience with Julie and her family and We are looking forward to using her again !!”
“If Rover allowed us to give 100 stars, we’d give every single one to Deanna. Wimble isn’t “just our dog.” He’s our family, our best friend, our service dog, and one of the stars of our Amazon Prime TV series The Ghost Finders. Because of that, trusting someone else with his care has never been something we take lightly. Then we found Deanna. From the moment she came into Wimble’s life, it was obvious she had a truly special gift. She has an incredible ability to connect with dogs in a way that’s difficult to describe. Wimble absolutely adores her, and seeing the excitement on his face whenever he sees her tells us everything we need to know. Deanna doesn’t just care for Wimble, she loves him. She has become his trainer, his handler on set, his biggest cheerleader, and someone we trust completely. Whether she’s working with him, taking him on adventures, or simply giving him affection and reassurance, she always treats him as if he were her own. As television producers, our schedules can be hectic and unpredictable, but we’ve never once worried when Wimble is with Deanna. That’s one of the greatest gifts anyone can give a pet owner: complete peace of mind. Her professionalism, reliability, patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals are second to none. She consistently goes above and beyond, and we honestly can’t imagine a better person to have in Wimble’s life. Deanna has become more than a Rover sitter to us. She’s become part of Team Wimble and part of our extended family. Thank you, Deanna, for loving our boy as fiercely as we do, for helping him grow, and for always treating him with such kindness and respect. We are more grateful than words can express. Anyone lucky enough to have Deanna care for their dog should consider themselves incredibly fortunate. She is simply the very best. ❤️🐾”
About: I've grown up with multiple dogs at a time, never had a period of time where I was not around dogs. I've raised them from birth to passing away. I love playing with them, caring for them, being there for them and providing love to them. I love going for walks in the parks, around development, etc. Whatever the pup/dog likes to do is fine with me, I have a lot of history with them so I'd be more than happy to provide for any dog! I do have a lot of references just not on rover, they can be provided upon speaking/meeting! I am very accommodating and can stick to your pets schedule as close as possible to yours! I can work my schedule around whatever is needed for care. For example, pets needing strict medicine schedule. I do work during the day but am available with notice! I can provide drop in visits, pet taxi to groomers or vets, dog parks, etc. Cages would need to be provided especially for multiple pets while I am out of the home. Pets have full range of the home. We have gates for the stairs at top and bottom!
“Winnie's stay with Rosa could not have gone any better. We were a little apprehensive at first because we were afraid Winnie wouldn't feel comfortable, but our worries proved to be just that....merely worries. Rosa was very considerate to Winnie's needs and her feelings. She was also very considerate with us by sending us pictures multiple times a day as well as keeping an open line of constant communication. She was very comforting as well as very professional. We really could not have asked for a better family to watch our Winnie. We would recommend them to anyone.”
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for our two high energy pups. We booked her over the holidays and she went above and beyond. She gave them all the care and affection they needed and was very open in her communication with us. Her dog Nio enjoyed the company of our dogs and was a great play mate for them. Based on how happy our dogs looked in the many photos she sent us, we would highly recommend Linda for your pet sitting needs.”

“Syd got here on time each day, and took good care of the pups. We always got photos (extreme closeups sometimes!) and had the peace of mind that they were in good hands while we were gone.”
About: Cats are such energetic, lovable, and curious companions! I’ve had them in my life since I was young, and I never get tired of seeing their unique personalities shine. I truly enjoy caring for them. Whether it’s cuddling, playing, feeding or simply keeping them company. I have experience giving medicine when needed and always do my best to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Jule was a God-send for me while I was on vacation! She made sure their food and water was filled, scooped the litter boxes, swept up around the litter boxes, and stayed and played with the kitties for awhile. She took lots of pictures to send to me while I was away. My white cat, Tigger, hides whenever anyone comes over (he only stays out for me) and she had pictures of him laying on the couch!!! He was relaxed and didn’t feel scared. It’s so nice knowing I have someone I can depend on because in the past I have struggled to find someone that I could 100% depend on. Thanks Jule. The kitties thank you too!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cared for my own for years. From daily walks and playtime to keeping up with feeding and routines, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of the family. Hi, I’m Mike! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine. I’m reliable. Ask for the general routine of the pet what special medication if any applicable and any other specific type of care the owners are requesting
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.

If I have enough notice I can take off if need be but I can also help before or after work and on weekends! If I have a list of what you want me to do, I will 100% follow it. I pay very close attention to detail and I will make sure your dog is well cared for! My dog is on a strict diet and I make sure to follow it no matter what. My fur baby has tons of toys and puzzles and lick mats, he has more stuff than I do!

I have taken care of plenty of dogs, cats, puppies and even some farm animals for friends. Groomed, Served ice cream to dogs and cats at an animal ice cream parlor, walked dogs, dog-sat, and raised some amazing animals which tuned me into true animal care. I am currently raising an Australian Shepherd, Ziggy! He is full of life and super eager-to-learn, high maintenance too which is right up my alley. He is leash trained and off-leash, potty trained and loves to go to dog parks and run around till he can’t no more! Daily we walk Ziggy around town, give him plenty of potty breaks and playtime! He loves tossing around teddy bears and licking play-mats in his free time. I wake up and feed Ziggy, then take him outside, and feed him for dinner as well. We train him every day with certain commands and tricks. With all of my animals, I make sure to get them outside enough and play with them as much as I can. At home I always make sure my animals get fed twice a day and have water at all times and I always have water when going out on long walks, drives, and to the park. I am super on-top-of making sure they get enough potty breaks and teach them how to react a certain way when I ask if they want “Outside?Potty?” to house train.

She was great with communication at each visit and didn't hesitate to reach out with anything to make sure my boys got what they needed while I was away. I came home to safe, happy cats and I would definitely have her check in on them again in the future!”

“I was very nervous leaving my new puppy for an entire day, but had no other choice. I found Lorraine on Rover.com. She was so very sweet to Bella, and I felt confident that Bella would have a great time spending the day with her and her husband. I know she treated Bella as if she was her own and loved her the way I do. I will definitely use Lorraine again and have no reservations in recommending her to others.”
“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 in town visiting relatives and needed last minute day care for my energetic lab while we went on a day trip to the city. Christy was very accommodating. I appreciated her flexibility, communication, and pictures. Buttercup looked like she has a great time with the family!”
“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!”

I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.

I love taking care of pets and making them feel safe! I do what their owner has written out for me. If they have a fenced yard, or partial, I’ll make sure they are safe and cared for with lots of love! Whatever makes them feel safe, I would be happy to contribute to that.
About: I have been taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. My neighbors used to pay me to bathe feed walk, and I’ve also had animals since I was younger until now.

Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family soon! 🐶🐱💛 I have a Yorkie myself, and I also grew up with animals my whole life so it just comes natural to take care of animals on a daily. I have a daily routine, I believe it helps the animals when they are set in a routine .I am very energetic so I love to go to the dog park and go on walks and just play with them 😊 I have a Yorkie who is lovable and playful. I take her on daily walks and I would do the same for your fur baby. I will treat your fur baby just like my own with love affection and lots of attention 🫶🏻.I also have a crate if your animal needs to be crated.
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

“Lorraine was awesome to work with, I would recommend her to anyone. She sent pictures of Jagger while I was gone, took him swimming, and he played outside. Her and her husband were both great to work with!”
“So my dog stayed for the first time this past weekend. He was well taken care of and I got daily photos and updates on him. I already booked another boarding with her for both of my dogs. I love the pick up and drop off service. It’s so convenient when you’re traveling to not have to worry about dropping your pets off or picking them up after a vacation. This is a great addition to her services.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Deirdre was amazing with our mini golden doodle! Our dog was so happy when we picked her up. I could tell she had a great time! Deirdre is kind and professional, and sent some great pictures of her having lots of fun on their beautiful farm! Will definitely go back again!”
“Laura is always wonderful with our fur baby! This visit she helped with my daughters puppy too. They were very well taken care of and came home very happy dogs. I would recommend Laura to anyone!”
“Tristan was a lifesaver! After another boarder canceled a week before our trip, we were scrambling to find someone to watch our dogs for a week. We haven’t left our dogs for overnight boarding in a few years and were worried about how they’d do…but it looks like they had a blast! Tristan sent pictures and videos of the dogs sleeping and playing throughout the week which put our minds at ease. Our dogs were excited to see us when we picked them up but then slept nearly all day - I take that as a sign that they had fun and wore themselves out :). Thank you Tristan!!”
“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”
“Erin is awesome. We have a Golden who gets very anxious and likes to be near a human at all times. Erin took amazing care of our dog. Excellent communication with us. Beautiful fenced yard & our dog had a blast playing with her dog. Highly recommend and have already made another booking.”
“My wife and I are very protective of our little dachshund Wella. When we read Julie's first response to our request, we knew right away that she and her family were the mature and responsible people we could trust to watch our dog. Julie sent multiple updates and photos to us while she had Wella, and that was very nice and reassuring. They did so great with Wella that she seemed to want to stay longer! The kids played so much with Wella that she needed to sleep in the next day! Great experience with Julie and her family and We are looking forward to using her again !!”
“If Rover allowed us to give 100 stars, we’d give every single one to Deanna. Wimble isn’t “just our dog.” He’s our family, our best friend, our service dog, and one of the stars of our Amazon Prime TV series The Ghost Finders. Because of that, trusting someone else with his care has never been something we take lightly. Then we found Deanna. From the moment she came into Wimble’s life, it was obvious she had a truly special gift. She has an incredible ability to connect with dogs in a way that’s difficult to describe. Wimble absolutely adores her, and seeing the excitement on his face whenever he sees her tells us everything we need to know. Deanna doesn’t just care for Wimble, she loves him. She has become his trainer, his handler on set, his biggest cheerleader, and someone we trust completely. Whether she’s working with him, taking him on adventures, or simply giving him affection and reassurance, she always treats him as if he were her own. As television producers, our schedules can be hectic and unpredictable, but we’ve never once worried when Wimble is with Deanna. That’s one of the greatest gifts anyone can give a pet owner: complete peace of mind. Her professionalism, reliability, patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals are second to none. She consistently goes above and beyond, and we honestly can’t imagine a better person to have in Wimble’s life. Deanna has become more than a Rover sitter to us. She’s become part of Team Wimble and part of our extended family. Thank you, Deanna, for loving our boy as fiercely as we do, for helping him grow, and for always treating him with such kindness and respect. We are more grateful than words can express. Anyone lucky enough to have Deanna care for their dog should consider themselves incredibly fortunate. She is simply the very best. ❤️🐾”
About: I've grown up with multiple dogs at a time, never had a period of time where I was not around dogs. I've raised them from birth to passing away. I love playing with them, caring for them, being there for them and providing love to them. I love going for walks in the parks, around development, etc. Whatever the pup/dog likes to do is fine with me, I have a lot of history with them so I'd be more than happy to provide for any dog! I do have a lot of references just not on rover, they can be provided upon speaking/meeting! I am very accommodating and can stick to your pets schedule as close as possible to yours! I can work my schedule around whatever is needed for care. For example, pets needing strict medicine schedule. I do work during the day but am available with notice! I can provide drop in visits, pet taxi to groomers or vets, dog parks, etc. Cages would need to be provided especially for multiple pets while I am out of the home. Pets have full range of the home. We have gates for the stairs at top and bottom!
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for our two high energy pups. We booked her over the holidays and she went above and beyond. She gave them all the care and affection they needed and was very open in her communication with us. Her dog Nio enjoyed the company of our dogs and was a great play mate for them. Based on how happy our dogs looked in the many photos she sent us, we would highly recommend Linda for your pet sitting needs.”
“This is the second time that Kenzie stayed with Kathy and we plan to have her return in the future. Kathy is super nice, very flexible with the drop off and pick up times, really cares about the dogs and has a great space for them.”
“Instant karma. Bronx quickly became a velcro dog to Jen and she got roped into his boo boo eyes. He adapted to her 3 little ones (and they to him) such that they could lounge in proximity on the deck out back. Jen will most certainly be a go-to sitter for us in the future. She was also quick to accommodate my day-early departure. Thanks, Jen!!”
“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.”
