Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rupert
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rupert
“Debbie was great!! I had no worries at all because I knew my dog, Jasper, was I great hands. My dog loved playing with their dogs and running around the enormous yard! Debbie sent me many pictures and messages with updates which I thought was very kind and thoughtful. Debbie and her husband are very friendly. I would highly recommend them. Jasper is going back next month again while I’m away”
“Lorraine did a great job caring for our Boxer pup while we were away. We were nervous but she answered all our questions and assured us with daily updates and photos that everything was going well. We were so happy to find out that our dog was doing well and we had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend her.”
“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.”
About: I have lots of experience with taking care of animals, and I'm that crazy dog mom that treats my dog like my child. I also have experience with service dog training, cat care, and pet first aid & CPR. I work a full time job on a rotation night shift schedule-(I'm nocturnal! I'm available in the evenings & overnights on my days off, and every other weekend for all your pet care needs! (yes i can do VERY late check ins!) If you need pet care early morning or late afternoon I can potentially make that work too! I have a friendly senior dog to keep your dog company if they visit my home, and a dog play room with LOTS of toys. I also have a large crate for your dog to use if necessary. I've been a dog mom for 9 years so we have everything here that your pup could ever need! I will also come perpared with anything your dog may need for my visit -leash, bags, treats, water, bowl, ect! I will treat your house with respect and care for your pets like my own. I can send photos and updates and I'm very responsive to messages/calls. I will follow any rules and routines you have in place for your pets. I promise that your fur kid will be safe & secure.
“Another great experience with Crystal! Our kitties came home bright eyed and with shiny coats to tell us they had a grand time. We couldn't ask for more! Communication throughout their stay was daily and let us know how well the stay was progressing. We are thankful to have Crystal as a host for our cats!”
“Michaela was incredible! This was our first time using Rover or anyone other than friends/family watching Maggie (as she was a rescue dog and severely abused when we got her) - she was so good with Maggie! Maggie is older (17) and needs extra love and attention and she def got that and more. We will def use Michaela 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”
“Emily was very accommodating and friendly. My golden doodle had a great time spending the week with her. She sent daily updates to let me know how my girl was doing. She was willing to giver her medication daily and listened to any concerns or routines my pup has and react to them. Great experience! Will use again!”
“Chase was happy, healthy, plus brushed and clean when we picked him up from Megan. We also got honest feedback about a behavior problem we had not known about before. Highly recommend.”
“Laura was great and sent updates throughout the day. I also had piece of mind knowing Laura's background and that Tamba was in good hands. I know he had a great time there too because he slept for the entire day after picking him up”
“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.”
“We are again super happy with the care Jill and her husband provide. She send pictures and updates, we leave our dog here without any worries! Will book again for sure!”
“Alex was Phenomenal with our sweet girl! We constantly got updates, pictures and videos of our baby girl having a blast. Georgie didn't want to leave when it was time to go haha. I 100% recommend Alex and we will for sure be using her services again.”
“Hopper loves Amy and Milo! We do not like to send him anywhere else!!! We now live almost 2 hours away, but still make the drive to know my dog is happy and safe while we are away. She sends a bunch of pictures and updates! Words cannot express how grateful I am to have Amy taking care of my boy”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I've had many animals throughout my life, 7 dogs, 9 cats, and small mammals. I mostly have experience with Australian Shepherds and German Shepherds. At the moment I have two small dogs and a young cat, who all get along together very well! I love animals and I pay very close attention to them to make sure their needs are met and they're happy. I'm not the type of person to just quickly check-in on a dog and let them outside- I play with them, give them attention, exercise them. I work part time and random hours, so I wake up early to let my dogs out, then feed them at 8 and again at 4. One of my dogs is hyperactive and guards her food so each of her meals is a training session. I usually make her walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes and follow various commands while I hand-feed her meals. My animals are never alone for more than 4 hours at a time, so they get to go out many times. I don't have a fenced in yard so they are always on a leash. All of my animals are friendly towards other dogs, cautious with cats. My apartment is somewhat small, so I would prefer to work in a client's home. In that situation I would stop in as many times as the client prefers. I take my time to play with the animals under my care and give them attention. I do my best to make sure they never feel lonely.

“Suzanne did an excellent job with our three cats. We met in advance and introduced her to them. She cared for them so well that I was able to enjoy time with my family and not worry. Her ability to visit multiple times a day ensured our senior girls received all their meds in a timely manner. I highly recommend her and would use her again!”
“Alexis was very patient with my timid cat, and got her to eat (a previously incomplete feat by other sitters). She has excellent communication, lots of pictures, and very thorough updates.”

“Mandy was wonderful with my two cats while I was away for the holidays. They usually don’t feel comfortable around unfamiliar people. However they warmed up to Mandy quickly! I appreciated Mandy’s prompt communication and thoughtful care.”
“Lisa was great with our puppies for a few drop-in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in contact when she was at our house and provided updates with how the puppies were doing along with some pictures. We got back late, so she even checked the next morning to make sure they were okay when we got home which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lisa for all of your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Lisa!!”
“I can’t thank Beth enough for taking such wonderful care of my two cats. I was able to truly enjoy my vacation knowing my babies were in the best hands. She kept me regularly updated and always reassured me that they were doing well. I’m so grateful for her care and attention.”
About: I've had 9 cats throughout my life, the oldest lived up to 20. I understand when cats need their space and I let them come up to me at their own pace. I love playing with kittens and I especially love caring for senior cats. I have housesat for cat owners in the past and I make sure they have everything they need.
About: I adopted my sweet girl Rory from my brother after he no longer wanted her. Since then she’s been my baby. I was allergic to cats but quickly got over it (mind over matter) so I could take care of the sweet girl. I spend most days trying to find new ways to keep her entertained and happy, and I’ll do the same with your cat as well :)
“Madison is super trustworthy, followed all my instructions to the T, and communicated all throughout her drop ins! I will definitely book her, again, with a peace of mind if she’s available in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I have a special place in my heart for cats as I have five rescues of my own. I have experience with skittish and friendly cats as well as cats with dietary needs, daily oral medication needs, cats with no teeth, Megacolon, and Deaf cats. I also cannot smell due to having Covid years ago so litter box cleaning isn’t an issue for me.
“Britt was amazing and stayed in contact the whole trip. Provided plenty of pictures and updates to assure us the little ones were safe. She followed all instructions and did more than asked to make our return easier. We will definitely be using her again for future trips knowing we found a trustworthy sitter.”

About: In the past I have volunteered a Forever Paws Animal Shelter as a cat room specialist. My job was to complete health checks, socialize, feed, groom, and clean the cats, as well as maintain the cleanliness of the rooms they dwelled in. I actually met my cat there! We created such a strong bond that I had to take him home and we have been inseparable since! I have also volunteered in a cat veterinarian clinic in the past, administering oral medications and helping handle.

“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!!!”
“Jill was amazing! Delilah had so much fun with her and her fur babies, Riley and Kalliope. Very responsive and received lots of photos of Delilah enjoying her time there. Would recommend Jill for anyone needing someone to care for their fur babies, as they will be cared for like her own.”
“Dannah is very attentive, caring, and welcoming. I especially appreciated her ensuring proper introduction to allow the dogs to get comfortable. Dannah goes above and beyond to care for the wide range of exercise needs and health conditions of her own pack regularly and extended that to my iggi pup. Already booked again!”
“We love Erin and her dog Charlie! Erin had a good size yard that they both run like crazy in chasing each other. Erin always sends me updates through the day to let me know how our girl is doing!”

“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 enjoy loving on them and giving them an amazing life. Dogs have always been a vital part of my life and being able to provide a safe loving environment for other people's dogs makes my heart happy.

“I am very particular with my pup and her safety and I never feel nervous bringing her to Megan's place. She exercises her well and having other pups around helps to socialize my pup! Megan is top notch when it comes to help with training as well! She stays familiar with the rules I have for my dog and makes sure my dog is following the same rules in her home. Since my dog has been taken care of by Megan, she has learned how to walk better on a leash, learned new tricks and also reacts better with other dogs. Megan is extremely knowledgeable about dogs. This is the best doggy daycare I could ask for, perfect for any pup that doesn't want to be left at home, wants to learn new tricks, needs some or a lot of exercise, needs socialization with other dogs, needs some mind stimulation and much more. For all that Megan does, this doggy daycare is an absolute steal for the price!!”

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
About: I had only dogs for many many years and absolutely love dogs! I then moved abroad for the past 12 years and due to living in a building which allowed no dogs I decided instead to invest in a kitten.. Here we are, years later and I've become rather cat crazy! We have 4, 3 of which we brought with us all the way from the UK to love with us here in Danville. I love how each cat carries their own personality, likes, dislikes and quirks and I have learned to be patient a great deal thanks to these little flurries of fur. I also once owned rabbits, chickens, peacocks, fish, a squirrel named "Giblet" and spent time around cows and pigs as well. Animals give us warmth and love, be it a cozy chihuahua or a frowning lizard and I love them all! I am new here in town and wish to establish myself as a carer and guardian of your pets when you need a hand. I genuinely will love and cherish them in the short time I might spend with them.. Their safety, happiness and calmness are important to me and I will give all my devotion to them while in my care or in your home. I hope to be here for you anytime you need.! We have just moved here from the UK in mid 2024. Our 4 cats are the biggest part of our lives and as I work from home I am so attached to them! That freedom can also allow me to care for your pet as well and love them as if they were my own while you are away! For now I have decided to offer myself up to visit your home when you wish to feed, walk and play with your pets as well as those necessary litter box details if you have cats.. I am honest and dependable with a deep love for animals and for being kind and gentle. I won't just feed them and leave.. Whether you have dogs, cats or any other animal, I will spend some time with them, make sure they feel safe and warm and be your eyes and ears during your absence. I would be thrilled to send you photos or video or even a live face to face call with your pets. I am a southern boy raised by strong southern women and I absolutely will respect your home, property and pets. In the near future I will also offer a boarding option as well after I've settled in here in Danville. I am willing to travel a but out of the area if you need as well. Other services I will consider providing are house sitting your home with or without pets. I am flexible and truly well meaning and respectful and hope to become your "Go-To" Guy!
About: Large Animal Science graduate, have completed the vet tech, dog grooming, and agility courses at BCAHS. Experience with diverse/exotic animal caretaking rolls, canine cpr certified, lots of experience with difficult dog breeds. My schedule with work is very flexible. Usually I tend to walk my dog for a 1-2 hours a day. It is extremely important that my dog Nala gets exercise each day to make sure she stays happy and healthy. Sometimes I also take my cat on the walks as well (he loves spending time outside with his sister with his harness and leash on!). Weekends have much more flexibility with my schedule. It is extremely important to make sure that any animal feels comfortable in their environment. Giving them the opportunity to take bathroom breaks and keeping pets on their normal schedule is very important. Giving pets access to fresh drinking water, specific foods, and medications as needed is also crucial. Providing proper exercise and mental enrichment only helps to further improve an animal’s experience in their surroundings as well.

“Lorraine did a great job caring for our Boxer pup while we were away. We were nervous but she answered all our questions and assured us with daily updates and photos that everything was going well. We were so happy to find out that our dog was doing well and we had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend her.”
“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.”

“Another great experience with Crystal! Our kitties came home bright eyed and with shiny coats to tell us they had a grand time. We couldn't ask for more! Communication throughout their stay was daily and let us know how well the stay was progressing. We are thankful to have Crystal as a host for our cats!”
“Michaela was incredible! This was our first time using Rover or anyone other than friends/family watching Maggie (as she was a rescue dog and severely abused when we got her) - she was so good with Maggie! Maggie is older (17) and needs extra love and attention and she def got that and more. We will def use Michaela again!”
“Emily was very accommodating and friendly. My golden doodle had a great time spending the week with her. She sent daily updates to let me know how my girl was doing. She was willing to giver her medication daily and listened to any concerns or routines my pup has and react to them. Great experience! Will use again!”
“Laura was great and sent updates throughout the day. I also had piece of mind knowing Laura's background and that Tamba was in good hands. I know he had a great time there too because he slept for the entire day after picking him up”
“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.”
“We are again super happy with the care Jill and her husband provide. She send pictures and updates, we leave our dog here without any worries! Will book again for sure!”
“Hopper loves Amy and Milo! We do not like to send him anywhere else!!! We now live almost 2 hours away, but still make the drive to know my dog is happy and safe while we are away. She sends a bunch of pictures and updates! Words cannot express how grateful I am to have Amy taking care of my boy”
“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.”
“Linda was able to accommodate my request for a dog sitter on short-notice despite it also being on a holiday. She was prompt to respond and put my mind at ease at the meet and greet. Multiple updates were sent throughout my dog’s stay and it was clear that he was enjoying himself and well looked after. He had another doggy playmate that he had a blast with. I felt very comfortable having my dog in her hands.”
“This was the first time we’ve been away from our pup and Mandy made sure she’s well taken care of. Thank you for accommodating our little Bebon! ♡ You are like a family to her. God bless!”
“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!!”
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!
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll treat your pet like my own and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind. I’m flexible and can work pet care into my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care depending on the day and time. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet in a safe and clean environment, and make sure they have fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated during their care.
“Kelise was wonderful and so accommodating with our last minute booking! She even took the time to meet us beforehand for a meet and greet so we could make sure our dogs got along. She kept us updated regularly throughout Rosie’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and comfortable. Rosie had a great time with Kelise and her family! We really appreciated her flexibility, communication, and willingness to accommodate us on short notice. Thank you Kelise!”
About: I have been passionate about the care of animals ever since I was a child. I’ve owned 4 dogs of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby. I now have the time and space to offer my home and large, fenced-in yard to dog sitting services for your dog’s needs. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My own dog, Kip, is part of a consistent schedule that includes two to three walks daily, outdoor time in our large fenced-in yard, playtime, and downtime for rest and cuddles. Because I’m home all day, dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are able to maintain a routine similar to what they’re used to at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or structured routines, and I enjoy making pet care a central part of my day rather than something I have to fit in around other commitments. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Because I work full-time from home, dogs in my care receive 24/7 supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Dogs enjoy two to three daily walks, outdoor time in my large, fully fenced-in yard, and plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and well-suited for providing consistent care, whether a dog loves active play or prefers a quieter, more relaxed environment. Safety, communication, and individualized care are always my top priorities, and my goal is to make every dog feel at home while their owner is away.
