“jean was great! my pup was a little unsure about meeting new people at first, but jean was very attentive and stayed in touch with us to make sure all of his needs were met”
“Janette and her family are so sweet and obviously love taking care of dogs. They welcomed my puppy into their home right along side their adorable three dogs and three kids. He had tons of space to run around outside, a puppy pool to splash around in, and a safe place inside for his crate so he could get some sleep overnight. They sent me pictures and an update during his stay, and told me all about how he did when I picked him up. He came home tired, happy, and clean - what more could I ask for?”
“Alexa was fabulous!!! She was so kind and easy to work with. My dogs had a Blast with her dog and her family. She kept me updated and sent pictures frequently. Her communication was always extremely prompt as well. I already made plans to use her again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my first Rover experience. My 2yo Golden Retriever is what the call a Velcro dog, following me everywhere and loving nothing more than a good cuddle. We tried kennels and while they were safe and well managed, my pup was simply anxious in a loud setting with limited contact. Tiffany was wonderful and warm providing plenty of playtime and affection throughout the week long stay. Photos and updates showed him playing happily in the yard and comfy on the sofa. I can’t say enough about the relief these updates gave me, allowing me to enjoy my time away with family. I highly recommend Tiffany and hope to request her again in the future.”
About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship. I’m able to provide frequent check-ins. For stays in my own house, because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and interaction. My flexible schedule also allows me to closely follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet I look after. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, follow feeding instructions closely, and administer any medications as needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and at ease. If your dog is staying in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own. They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!
“Chonlada was awesome. She communicated every day by texting and sending pictures/videos of our dog. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for your pet.”
“Carole was so great with our 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs. It was very comforting not having to worry while on vacation knowing she was taking great care of them! They can be a handful sometimes. Carole sent pictures and an update everyday”
“This was KoKo’s first time with Amanda and she was great at making her feel comfortable. She sent pictures and updates which made me happy. :) She also has a great big yard. looking forward to many more stays with Amanda. Definitely recommend her for your pup.”
“Diego & Amelia are fantastic! They provided pictures every day of our pup, including pictures of her sunbathing with their two dogs, who are absolutely adorable. They responded quickly to an adjustment request for pickup time, as well, which we greatly appreciated. Our dog is such a happy girl after spending time with them. This was the longest we have ever been away from our pup and their updates made us feel so at ease.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and experience I bring. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. While we don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize frequent walks, outdoor time, and supervised potty breaks to ensure dogs stay active and engaged. We also have a friendly, goofy, and welcoming Golden Retriever who loves having dog friends and helps new pups feel comfortable quickly. I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure every dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m available to board your dog or provide care for a few hours, depending on your needs. I’m fully available on weekends, and I also work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing me to give your dog consistent attention and companionship on those days as well. I usually take our dog out every four hours. But depending on your dog needs, i can adjust.Depending on your pups needs, i can keep them separate from our dog or keep them together. I am flexible.
“Dawn was so great with Wilson! She let him hog the bed and snuggle on the couch all day and night. She sent lots of updates and great photos which kept our mind at ease while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Lisa is very nice and you can tell she cares alot about dogs. It didn't take long at all for Lucy to be comfortable in her space and explore. Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”
“Manu and Dhruv took great care of our dog while we were at the beach for over a week. We received daily pictures and updates so we knew he was doing well. Highly recommend this sweet family to take care of your pup! Will be booking with them again :)”
“Glo has a great time with Meagan and her family and would recommend anyone to book with her. She provides picture and videos as well and makes you feel like your dog is in perfectly safe. Thank you a lot Meagan”
“Sarah is amazing and caring. With this being the first time leaving Savannah overnight, Sarah eased us through the process and answered all of our questions and concerns. She communicated with us while Savannah was in her care. We are so glad we found Sarah and we definitely recommend reaching out to Sarah for all of your pet care needs. 💕”
“Thank you so much Mayra for taking amazing care of my baby boy on this long stay. Mayra is amazing and i can tell by the pictures and videos i was receiving daily that Milo was in loving care. Thank you so much to Mayra and her family!”
“Kristin was amazing! Very friendly and flexible with reservations. She sent updates everyday, and some pictures to go with it. She played with my puppy (who constantly wants to play), and snuggled with my 14 year old dog who is completely blind and going deaf. We will definitely make reservations with Kristin again!”

“We can't say enough about our sitter and the whole process, everything was excellent and very professional... We have already recommended this service to several of our friends and we will use the service and our sitter again in the near future... The daily pictures and emails are awesome and in addition the sitter picked up our mail and even did some light shoveling during the snowstorm while we were gone... Just fantastic and we are looking forward to doing business with Rover and Elizabeth M. (Betty) again...!!!”
About: I have experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes (and also rabbits and cats). Im willing to walk, play, train and just be there for your fur baby. I also have experience with deaf dogs and am comfortable giving medication if needed. Im currently a self employed travel and nature photographer which gives me the ability to have the time and flexibility to work with your petcare needs. I have a large fenced in yard to exercise your pets in if needed. My favorite thing is going on long walks as well as off leash play and enrichment time.
“Michelle has cared for my baby for several weeks now. She is a great picture taker, always includes action shots of lil Gracie Mae playing and being silly. She is very attentive to her and it’s comforting to know my special lil kitty is in great hands!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 12 years and genuinely love getting to know each cat’s unique personality. I have hands-on experience giving oral medication, as well as administering eye drops and ear treatments, so I’m comfortable supporting cats with special care needs. I’m very detail-oriented and always follow feeding routines and care instructions exactly as requested. I also keep litter boxes clean and make sure your cat’s space stays tidy and comfortable. Beyond the basics, I make sure every cat gets attention in the way they prefer—whether that’s playtime, pets, or just quiet company. My goal is to keep your cat happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
“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!”
About: Im 26 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.
About: I’ve had a cat since before I could walk. I love cats so much! I have taken care of my own cats over the years so I know how to change litter boxes or provide your cat with medication (in pill form) or play with your feline friend!
“Elena is the sweetest! I’m so happy she was able to take care of my kitty while I was away. Marley is really shy and she still was able to send me pics and give me thorough updates. I would recommend her 1000%”
About: I've had experience with cat sitting since 13 years old, and have always had cats of my own. I've taken care of kitties of family, friends, during a previous dog sitting job, and have enjoyed every moment of it! I have 3 cats of my own and could not live without them! I have experience with kittens, senior cats, and administering medicine. Cats are absolutely my favorite people! I'd be more than happy to take great care of your kitty!
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets from the age of 5 and have been pet sitting off and on since I was a teenager. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets as my own. I would love to meet your furry friend and give you peace of mind that they will be well cared for while you are away. Jake loves to play with other dogs his size and they always have a good time running and playing together. He is indifferent to cats and I would love a fur ball to sit in my lap. I have a lot of experience giving medications to dogs and other pets. I will work with you to give your pet the things they are familiar with at home. Look for lots of photos and videos of your pet having fun while they are with me! I work full time but I am home throughout the day so that they are only alone for a maximum of 2-4 hours. We love to walk and visit the dog park in our spare time I have no commitments outside of work and can provide companionship and playtime with your family member and my Jake. I am more than happy to accommodate any needs your furry friend has and the schedule he or she needs.
“This is the second time we have had Skye take care of our 6 cats. Again, she went over and beyond in the care of all of them. After every visit, we received a note and many pictures of all our fur babies. Seeing all their happy faces, definitely gave us the peace of mind that they were in great hands. We will definitely use Skye again for our cat sitting needs.”

“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.”
“Manu was AMAZING with Gracie. She was in contact many times during the day with pictures and assured me that Gracie was doing great! I feel blessed to have met someone like Manu - I will always entrust her with Gracie’s care. Thank you Manu!❤️🐶”
“Jean took great care of our energetic puppy George. She made sure he had active time as well as calm time to relax and nap. She was very accommodating of George's quirks (ie how he likes to put everything in his mouth still) and kept a close eye on him to keep him safe. We will definitely use Jean again when we need a break!”
“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!”
“Doing a trial run with Wendy to get my somewhat anxious dog comfortable enough to be able to stay for a longer overnight sit. Couldn't have been happier with how everything went. Wendy is great with communication and kept my dog safe and comfortable. She has patience and actually listens as I explain my dog's quirks and how she behaves.”
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.

About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship. I’m able to provide frequent check-ins. For stays in my own house, because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and interaction. My flexible schedule also allows me to closely follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet I look after. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, follow feeding instructions closely, and administer any medications as needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and at ease. If your dog is staying in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own. They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!
“Carole was so great with our 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs. It was very comforting not having to worry while on vacation knowing she was taking great care of them! They can be a handful sometimes. Carole sent pictures and an update everyday”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and experience I bring. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. While we don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize frequent walks, outdoor time, and supervised potty breaks to ensure dogs stay active and engaged. We also have a friendly, goofy, and welcoming Golden Retriever who loves having dog friends and helps new pups feel comfortable quickly. I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure every dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m available to board your dog or provide care for a few hours, depending on your needs. I’m fully available on weekends, and I also work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing me to give your dog consistent attention and companionship on those days as well. I usually take our dog out every four hours. But depending on your dog needs, i can adjust.Depending on your pups needs, i can keep them separate from our dog or keep them together. I am flexible.
“Dawn was so great with Wilson! She let him hog the bed and snuggle on the couch all day and night. She sent lots of updates and great photos which kept our mind at ease while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Lisa is very nice and you can tell she cares alot about dogs. It didn't take long at all for Lucy to be comfortable in her space and explore. Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”
“Manu and Dhruv took great care of our dog while we were at the beach for over a week. We received daily pictures and updates so we knew he was doing well. Highly recommend this sweet family to take care of your pup! Will be booking with them again :)”
“Glo has a great time with Meagan and her family and would recommend anyone to book with her. She provides picture and videos as well and makes you feel like your dog is in perfectly safe. Thank you a lot Meagan”
“Sarah is amazing and caring. With this being the first time leaving Savannah overnight, Sarah eased us through the process and answered all of our questions and concerns. She communicated with us while Savannah was in her care. We are so glad we found Sarah and we definitely recommend reaching out to Sarah for all of your pet care needs. 💕”
“We were moving and had trouble finding an available Rover.com place for our two Labs the night before our big move. Being previous client’s, Joel made an exception for us for our furry babies to stay the night. Then, our move day lasted longer than expected and he was flexible again to allow us to book a second night. We were SO grateful! 5 Stars to Joel completely for helping us out in a pinch!!”
“Tim and his family took absolutely wonderful care of Togo! 🐶 Togo can be a bit of a trouble eater, but Tim and his family were incredibly patient and really went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. They tried different approaches and truly cared about making sure he was happy and settled. They made Togo feel completely at home, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay — Tim regularly shared updates and pictures, which meant a lot to us. Our flight was unexpectedly delayed, and they were kind enough to accommodate Togo for a couple of extra hours at the last minute without any hesitation. That flexibility and understanding really meant so much. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Tim and his family with Togo again. Highly recommend!”
“Adrienne watched our fur baby Triple for the first time overnight. She was great! Triple enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of him. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“Your pup will be in good hands with Amanda! I felt very comfortable leaving my girl, Shiloh, with her. This was our first experience with a sitter and Amanda was caring and experienced. She sent me pictures and videos of Shiloh's playtime in her big fenced in yard, which made me feel at ease knowing she was having a great time! Shiloh can't wait for her next stay at the farm.”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“We travelled internationally and left Abby with Jenna for 25 days. We were a bit nervous but Jenna took fantastic care of Abby. She sent us pics and videos to confirm Abby’s well-being. We definitely recommend Jenna for your pet boarding.”
