“Janette was wonderful with my 7 months old puppy. He is extremely energetic, inquisitive, and playful . She shared pictures of him every day. He participated in the birthday of one of the furries of the household and had some of the home made treats! She answered my requests right away . I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and will definitely come back again. Thank you for your love and care to our lovely puppy!”
“Julie and Caleb were absolutely amazing with our two boxers, Laila and Apollo! From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding—they kept us updated daily and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Laila and Apollo had the best time playing with their kids and running around their large property. It was clear they were treated like part of the family. Every photo showed two very happy pups! They came home tired from all the fun and full of love. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would trust Julie and Caleb again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer saved us with a last minute booking and it was a great experience for our pup. We will definitely book with her again. She kept us posted with updates and pics. Easy meet and greet because she only takes 1 animal at a time and does not have a pup, so I didn't need to worry about Sully getting along with another pup. Such a relief and peace of mind.”
“Thank you so much for watching Thor!! We are so happy we found you. He seemed even sad to leave you all which makes me happy he got so comfortable with you!! I can’t wait to book you again.”
“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!”
“Our dog Poncho stayed with Chonlada for a week while we were on vacation and we could not take him with us. She was very flexible and agreeable to a meet & greet beforehand. Poncho and her dog Tokie were similar in size, age, and activity level so they seemed to get along great. She has a large fenced property for the dogs to explore and run around. I got daily updates as well as pictures and videos of Poncho, which made my family and I feel better about leaving him. Chonlada and her family took great care of Poncho (spoiled him...lol) and made sure he ate his meals and slept comfortably. They also comforted him during a thunder storm, which he does not like. Chonlada even contacted me when she noticed that Poncho was licking his paws and had a small abrasion, which she treated and monitored. Thanks so much to Chonlada and her family and I would definitely recommend her for boarding and will use again when needed.”
“Amanda was awesome while we were on vacation. She sent us daily pictures and updates. Her house has a huge fenced in backyard and our pups loved it. They came home happy and exhausted. She was also so accommodating with our drop off and pick up schedule. I highly recommend her. We will definitely take our boys back!”
“Melissa is a very special pet sitter!! Our dog had a hard first couple days trying to settle in as it was only his second time in someone else’s home over night. She went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable. I received lots of pictures of Winston doing his favorite things! I know that he was well taken care of with Melissa!”
“Jim is a great sitter and you can tell he really cares about the dogs he watches. I was referred to Jim and know a few people who bring their dogs for him as well. Being a pet owner it’s the greatest relief to know your dogs are being well cared for and see your dog immediately trust him. He also updates you with photos so you know what they’re up to. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him in the future. Thanks!”

“Audrey took great care for our 3 cats with detailed updates, pictures and kindness. She was courteous and prompt with her responses. This was my first experience with hiring someone I do not know and Audrey gave me confidence that all would be well. I would for sure invite her to care for my pets again and recommend her!”
“Doris came to take care of our cat Cali for the first time. At the last minute we needed to have her administer medication while we were gone, and she did that for us. She was attentive when she came in and spent time with Cali. She made sure she had enough dry food and gave her the wet in two bowls as we had asked. We have booked her for our next time out of town. Dependable and we recommend to others?”

“Amanda and Joe did an amazing job taking care of our kitties. I got pictures every day they visited and updates on how each cat was doing while they were there. They even got our super shy cat to come out of her shell a bit after a couple visits. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Allison is the best! She was reliable and responsible and took great care of my babies! Getting updates and photos when I was so far away was so great. I knew they were well taken care of!”
“Betty was superb again! She took care of our cats while we were away with such care - even bringing them a toy to help ease their nerves when there was construction on our street.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for myself and my pets with Jennifer. My dog who can be a bit shy really warmed up to her which is huge! Jennifer’s communication and overall positivity, care, and friendliness is so appreciated and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Molly did a great job watching our cats, making sure that they were fed and happy. Lots of update photos, and easy scheduling. I would recommend her to anyone needing a hand with their pets!”

The litter box was cleaned every time . Pip seemed so happy and content when we got home , our house was left perfect , she is a trusted, very nice, person . She really has a way with cats and a kind caring heart . I highly recommend Melodi for pet sitting and we will definitely be using Melodi again to care for our Pip . Thanks Melodi !!!! 👍🏻❤️”
“Michael came 3 times a day for over a week for an hour at a time. He took time to spend with each of our 3 older dogs individually and sent multiple photos each time we was at our home. He gave in real time updates on food, bathroom breaks and ensured he gave each dog their medication. He brought our trash cans up our driveway, and brought it our mail before we even reached out to ask, and even took a photo of bees getting into our home while we were away in which we were able to prepare for before we returned from our vacation. He was wonderful for us and from the looks of our blink camera taking some videos in real time, the dogs loved him as well!! We will be requesting Michael each time we take a trip as we feel incredibly comfortable with his care.”

“Sarah was able to take my dogs on short notice and she was very communicative and also just a very nice person. I would definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a safe and reliable dog sitter!”
“Janette was incredibly accommodating with my last‑minute request. She was patient and understanding with my energetic Rain, even when Rain had two accidents in her home. When I picked Rain up, she was clearly comfortable with Janette, her wagging tail and happy little hop said it all. We will definitely be using Janette again.”

About: We have owned, rescued, and fostered many fur babies, including seniors and those that have medical needs and hospice care. Fur babies are unconditional love! I am retired and have a lot of time for fur babies. Taking care of fur babies are what keeps me active and, on the go. I have a fenced yard and three smaller dogs that love to play and cuddle. My home is more suited for fur babies then humans!
About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently share my home with a lovable Labrador and a German Shepherd who are treated as a cherished member of our family. Watching friends’ dogs has become a natural extension of my love for animals, and every dog that stays with us gets the same care and affection as my own. Our whole family shares this passion for dogs. My young son loves spending hours playing with our pups, ensuring that any dog in our home is not just cared for but actively engaged and loved.

Special treatment is my promise—I care for every dog as if they were my own, giving them all the love and attention I’d want for my pup. We’re true dog people, and we genuinely enjoy welcoming furry friends into our home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I care for my own dogs daily with regular walks, meals, and playtime. When sitting for other dogs, I adjust my schedule to include their specific needs, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable. I also offer pick-up/drop-off and meet-and-greet sessions to make the process seamless for owners. I provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated as part of the family, with regular feeding, walks, and plenty of playtime to ensure they feel happy and at ease.

For pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to keep them comfortable, including feeding, walking, and giving them personalized attention. Whether at my home or yours, my priority is ensuring every pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for.

About: Pets aren’t just a part of my life—they are my life's baseline. For over 40 years, my golden rule has been that a house is not a home unless there are exactly two dogs walking around in it.

About: I grew up working on my aunt’s horse ranch and petting zoo, taming barn cats and swimming with my chocolate Lab, Yogi. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I specialize in medically sensitive pets, seniors, animals who take their time warming up, and the ones who decide we’re best friends immediately. I care for every animal like I would want someone to care for my own. Clients often tell me, “You must think I’m nuts for doing all this for my pet.” My answer is always, “You should see what I do for mine. 😂” With four cats and a senior rescue dog I truly get it. Our animals are family. They give us unconditional love without words, and they deserve the very best care, patience, and stewardship we can give them. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, understood, and genuinely loved while they’re in my care. Pet care is my daily life and full-time passion. My schedule is built around providing reliable, attentive care while giving every animal the time they deserve. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I expect for my own. I follow routines closely, prioritize safety, communicate consistently, and pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, comfort, and personality.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life but in the previous 5 years is when I started to watch and take care of them more often I have plenty of time during the week and or weekends to watch 1 or multiple animals. I can stay overnight or do multiple drop in visits a day. I will make sure I have eyes on them on the whole time and tend to their needs when they need something. I will never walk them without a leash and steer away from other dogs being walked when I’m walking yours.

I can crate your dog if needed and follow their feeding, potty, and medication schedule carefully. My home is calm and safe, perfect for small dogs.
About: Hi, I'm Kat, I love all animals but I have an affinity for dogs, especially small ones. I've taken care of cats & dogs for more than 20 years. I've recently lost my baby boy Max (my Shih Tzu) to cancer, we're not ready to get another dog but am ready to help watch your dog and shower him/her with all the love/kisses they want. I'm available to watch your pup within 24hr notice. We don't have a fence yard but am willing and I enjoy walking dogs. We live in a very walkable town with nice wide sidewalks for your pup & I to go explore the neighborhood. I will treat your pet as if it was my own.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently share my home with a lovable Labrador and a German Shepherd who are treated as a cherished member of our family. Watching friends’ dogs has become a natural extension of my love for animals, and every dog that stays with us gets the same care and affection as my own. Our whole family shares this passion for dogs. My young son loves spending hours playing with our pups, ensuring that any dog in our home is not just cared for but actively engaged and loved. I’m committed to making this a worry-free experience for you, knowing your dog will have their best time with us. I even offer meet-and-greet sessions before bookings to make sure we’re a great fit. Plus, I can pick up and drop off your dog within a 10-mile radius for your convenience. Special treatment is my promise—I care for every dog as if they were my own, giving them all the love and attention I’d want for my pup. We’re true dog people, and we genuinely enjoy welcoming furry friends into our home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I care for my own dogs daily with regular walks, meals, and playtime. When sitting for other dogs, I adjust my schedule to include their specific needs, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable. I also offer pick-up/drop-off and meet-and-greet sessions to make the process seamless for owners. I provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated as part of the family, with regular feeding, walks, and plenty of playtime to ensure they feel happy and at ease. I follow any specific routines or preferences provided by the owner, from dietary needs to favorite activities. For pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to keep them comfortable, including feeding, walking, and giving them personalized attention. Whether at my home or yours, my priority is ensuring every pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for.

“Julie and Caleb were absolutely amazing with our two boxers, Laila and Apollo! From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding—they kept us updated daily and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Laila and Apollo had the best time playing with their kids and running around their large property. It was clear they were treated like part of the family. Every photo showed two very happy pups! They came home tired from all the fun and full of love. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would trust Julie and Caleb again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer saved us with a last minute booking and it was a great experience for our pup. We will definitely book with her again. She kept us posted with updates and pics. Easy meet and greet because she only takes 1 animal at a time and does not have a pup, so I didn't need to worry about Sully getting along with another pup. Such a relief and peace of mind.”
“Thank you so much for watching Thor!! We are so happy we found you. He seemed even sad to leave you all which makes me happy he got so comfortable with you!! I can’t wait to book you again.”
“Jim is a great sitter and you can tell he really cares about the dogs he watches. I was referred to Jim and know a few people who bring their dogs for him as well. Being a pet owner it’s the greatest relief to know your dogs are being well cared for and see your dog immediately trust him. He also updates you with photos so you know what they’re up to. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him in the future. Thanks!”

“Joel was fantastic! He updated us daily with photos and let us know how our pup was doing. He also met up with us twice to ensure our dogs got along and offered some great advise on training. I felt very comfortable with our dog staying there and hope we can leave our dog with Joel next time we are away!”

“William and Kristen took EXCELLENT care of our dog Max. Their fenced in yard is huge, they walked Max daily, gave him his pills at night. The family dog Rooney is awesome-Max enjoyed his time with him. Also they sent several photos throughout his stay...Thank you so much!”
“Sruthi and Abha were so wonderful to our little Meatball! While we were on vacation, it was clear that Meatball was too! They sent updates with photos multiple times a day. It was so sweet and my kids, in particular, loved hearing what adventure their dog was having each day! We look forward to booking when we go away again! Thanks!!!”
“Dawn was amazing with our boys. They were so happy when we dropped them off enjoying the big yard. So many things to explore. The pictures through the day was a great comfort! I just know they can’t wait to go back!”
“Alyssa took great care of our beautiful Lilly. Lilly was a bit anxious the first night, but Alyssa made her comfortable and even slept on the couch next to Lilly's bed. Thanks to Alyssa's patience, Lilly slept soundly in her bed in Alyssa's room on the 3rd night. Lilly loved Alyssa and I'm sure she'll be happy to return to Alyssa's care when needed. Alyssa provided updates several times a day and responded to any of my messages in a very timely fashion. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone as I can tell that she lovingly cared for our big girl the same as we do.”
“Amanda is amazing! Leaving our puppy alone for the first time was hard enough but thinking of her in a kennel for a week was devastating. Luckily we found Amanda who treated Sadie like a member of her family sent us pictures and videos everyday and let Sadie pretty much live in luxury on her amazing farm! I highly recommend Amanda if you want your dog to have a vacation of their own while you are away so you can be at peace knowing your dog is being loved as one of her own! More than 5 stars she is the best!”
“Jetzy was awesome with our little frenchie. She provided daily updates, and was able to accommodate his special needs. Our dog had a ton of fun with Captain. Would absolutely recommend and use Jetzy and family again!”
