“Fernando was great! Our dog went in a little more nervous then usual and left happy and calm. I appreciated how responsive and communicative he was while we were traveling. Any dog would be in great hands if they stayed with Fernando.”
“Cassandra was OUTSTANDING! I cannot recommend her enough. She cared for my pups while I was on vacation and they were so loved! She sent pictures, snuggled them, and was so calm when any issues came up! She is wonderful!”
“This was perfect for what I needed. We had no local friends or family that could take our cat. We were going to be away but he couldn't be at the house because we were having work done on it while we were gone. They took our cat into their home. I was surprised to see they had other cats when I arrived. But one question on the survey was if your pet does well with other cats, which he does, but cats tend to not be friendly with new cats initially so I was a bit worried they'd fight, but they had a separate area, a sun room that they allowed Sox to adjust in and during the week they had sent pictures of him being inside the home on the couch so obviously it was fine. I actually never met or dealt with Sarah only her Mom. Which I felt was odd. I was expecting the person pictured, the person I paid. Her Mom was lovely and clearly there were no issues and my cat was returned safely to me, I just felt it was odd the Sarah was sleeping or "resting because she works a lot" both times I was there. I didn't take any stars off my review for that, because again the service accomplished what I needed which was my cat to be cared for outside of my home.”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“Cera was amazing with my puppy. He isn't even a year old yet and this was his very first time away from us. He was timid at first and Cera was always communicating how he was doing and sending pictures. I felt so good leaving him with someone that loves him like her own. I would trust Cera with any furry friend. She was absolutely amazing!”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“Liceth was awesome! It was my first time using Rover and she helped me through the process. Enjoyed our meet and greet to get everyone acclimated and she did an amazing job over the weekend and sent plenty of pics. Will definitely be using Liceth again!”
“Mollie provided a home away from home for my dog. I received lots of photos and communication during his stay and they were sad to see him leave at the end. I’ll definitely be requesting a stay with her again!”
“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!”
“Carmen went above and beyond to take care of my special needs girl. She made sure her medication was given on time, she took her to the vet when she started having some issues and loved on her to make sure she was comfortable. She communicated with me multiple times a day and sent lots of pictures. Carmen was a blessing and allowed me to enjoy our vacation without worry.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond caring for my dog! She even took the time to read through his full profile to understand his needs and quirks, which meant a lot. I got updates, and my pup came home happy and relaxed. So grateful for the extra care and attention. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Andrew and Chelsea! They took fantastic care of my dog and provided updates on him throughout my time away. He was a happy pup when I picked him up! I highly recommend!”
“Amber did an amazing job with Parker, he came back super relaxed and sleepy. She was a huge help when we were down on our luck and had just a few days to book a boarding. Her home is super safe for all kinds of puppies, and her children were great with Parker. I definitely recommend booking, and will book again!”
“Asher had an amazing time on our week away! We never had any worries about his care and received plenty of updates via picture and videos. He also had so much fun with Prince Harry! Thank you again for taking care of Asher !”
“Brenda was fantastic! From the moment I left my dog there she made him feel at home and made me feel at ease leaving him with her! She sent me tons of photos to let me know how he was doing and what they were up to. I could tell that my dog was very happy and relaxed around her. This was by far the best dog sitting experience I have had yet!! Thank you Brenda. You will definitely be seeing me and Enzo again 😊”
“Our Layla had a great time with Samantha and family! Communication was wonderful and I was happy to get some pictures during our time away. I would definitely recommend and plan on booking with her again!”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
“Roberta was awesome with our dog Aria! This is the first time we left her with anyone. We were very nervous about doing it but then we met Roberta. She is great with animals and you can tell right away how much love she has for them. She sent us pictures of Aria during her week stay so we knew she was doing well. Will definitely use her services again!”

“Jenni was so good and heartwarming to Ube and Keso! They immediately warmed up to her during our meet-and-greet and I knew that they would be safe and well taken care of during her visits. She sent me plenty of pictures, communicate very well, very friendly, and refills necessary food equipment. Highly recommended if you’re in her local area and need someone for a quick visit or long term care!”
“Cera did an amazing job watching our 2 cats over the holidays! She was always sending updates with lots of pictures, and put our minds at ease that we knew our pets were with someone that truly cares for animals. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Anya is very reliable and took very good care of my son’s cats. This is my second experience with her and she is wonderful. She always sends me pictures and keeps me posted! I look forward to hiring her again in the future!”
“Andrew was a great sitter for our guinea pig Jasper. He’s very thoughtful, attentive and follows directions well. Having such a great sitter makes going away easier. We will book him in the future! He also took care of my herbs while we were away which was also much appreciated.”
“Emily was great! Easy going, very flexible, and dependable. She showed up every day to feed our 4 fur babies, scoop the litter, and even water the plants! We loved the updates and pictures too. We definitely recommend her and will use her again without hesitation.”
“Great, responsive service! Is familiar with Uptown which is nice. Genuinely enjoyed spending time with my 2 cats and sent videos on every visit and stayed the entire time. Even came by on her lunch break when I made a scheduling time mistake. Will be booking again.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family & friends over the years, and I’m looking to pet-sit/house-sit more often by using Rover! I have experience with dogs and cats. I mostly stay in the home while the owner is away to maintain stability for the pet, while owners are away on trips. I love spending time with animals and snapping funny or cute photos of them to share with their owners while they’re away! I’ll take good care of your fur-baby and show them lots of love! I’m available for walks, feedings, potty breaks and play time for individual days or several days at a time! I work full time M-F but can work remotely from your home and take breaks! I believe that pets are most comfortable when we stick to their schedules, so I do my best to keep to them! I also enjoy texting photos and updates to their owner.

This is our first time using the service and we are thrilled. we will continue to use Whitney and the Service in the future, and look forward to a long time relationship with her.”
About: Cats have been a lifelong passion of mine. I currently share my home with five cats, including cats with behavioral challenges, which has given me firsthand experience managing different personalities, needs, and behaviors on a daily basis. Professionally, I have worked in animal-related fields since I was 16 and have spent the past three years as a Shelter Behavior Specialist, working closely with cats to reduce stress, build confidence, and improve their quality of life. My experience includes reading feline body language, assessing fear, anxiety, and stress levels, providing enrichment, and helping shy, fearful, undersocialized, and behaviorally complex cats feel more comfortable. In addition to my professional background, I have four years of pet-sitting experience and understand how important it is to maintain a cat's routine and environment while their family is away. I provide patient, compassionate, cat-centered care and tailor my approach to each cat's individual personality, whether they are outgoing, reserved, senior, or have unique behavioral needs.
About: Cats have always been a big part of my life. I have two cats of my own, regularly care for three others, and have rescued countless cats over the years. I'm experienced with, kittens, giving medications, caring for cats with asthma, and making even the shyest cats feel safe, and loved.

“My entire experience with Liceth has been amazing. She made the entire interaction seamless and as smooth as possible in both occasions I used her dog sitting service. I have to be at work 5:45AM and she was able to accommodate my extremely early drop off time. She also gave me updates through out the day to give me the peace of mind that my dog was in good care. I highly recommend her!”
“We highly recommend Mollie! She took such good care of our puppy while we were out for the day. He made new friends and got lots of play time and attention. Mollie sent pictures and messages to keep us updated. We look forward to his next visit.”

“I had such a great experience with Lydianis! She watched my dog overnight and took amazing care of him. She kept me updated the whole time with photos, which gave me real peace of mind. She made sure he felt comfortable, safe, and right at home. You can truly tell she cares and goes above and beyond. On top of that, she even helped me find him a new home because of my situation, and she found him the most amazing family. That meant everything to me. She doesn’t treat pets like “just dogs” she treats them with real love and compassion. I truly trust her with any of my pets and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I've been caring for dogs on Rover since 2017, and after 9 years, I've had the privilege of caring for all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I absolutely adore animals, and when you leave your dog with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I keep owners updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout their pet's stay or visit. You'll be able to see how they're doing, what we're up to, and most importantly, that they're happy and being well cared for. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding, and daycare, depending on your dog's needs. For house sitting, I can keep your dog's normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. For drop-ins, I can provide meals, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. And for walks, I'm happy to give your dog the exercise and enrichment they need. I also enjoy exercising myself, so energetic dogs are welcome to get some extra activity. There's a peaceful bike trail near my home that's a great place for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with the dogs I care for. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accommodate longer stays when needed. I'm also happy to work with dogs who have specific routines, medications, senior-care needs, or other special requirements. Most importantly, I want your dog to have a positive experience while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, relaxing together, or simply keeping each other company, I want them to feel like they're spending time with someone they can trust. 9 years on Rover • 100+ five-star reviews • Frequent photo/video updates • Personalized care Thank you for considering me to care for your best friend! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate different routines, including longer stays and last-minute requests when my availability allows. A few important updates about my availability: At this time, I can accommodate a maximum of 3 dogs from the same household for boarding/daycare. I am not currently able to combine dogs from multiple households. I am also balancing my schedule with college, so I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. For boarding/daycare, I require a confirmed booking before arranging a Meet & Greet. This allows me to keep my home and schedule organized while protecting everyone's privacy. Please note that I do not have a car, so I am unable to provide pickup or drop-off services. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Your dog's safety comes first. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and stretch their legs without leaving the property. I also supervise dogs while they are outside rather than simply letting them out unattended. For boarding and daycare, I require dogs to be comfortable with crate use. Crates provide a safe place for dogs when I need to shower, sleep, run an errand, or otherwise cannot directly supervise them. I view the crate as a safety tool and want every dog to have a secure, comfortable space of their own. I'll also follow the routines and safety instructions you provide so I can care for your dog in a way that is familiar to them.
About: I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, gerbils, and rabbits, giving me hands-on experience with both small pets and larger companions. My background as a veterinary technician allows me to confidently handle medication administration, monitor health and behavior changes, and respond calmly in urgent situations. My zoo keeping experiencing also aids in my ability to understand how important enrichment and cleanliness are to your pet's overall happiness. Utilizing knowledge gained from prior puppy and adolescent dog training courses, also helps me with walking, hiking, and in house behaviors. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, hikes, play, and individualized attention to ensure each pet’s needs are met. With a flexible work schedule, I am able to provide in-home care 3 days a week uninterrupted and with a local home location, am able to check in on days in the office as well. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure every pet receives reliable, compassionate care as part of my regular routine—not as an afterthought. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or in my client’s home, to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks or exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall health, and I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. My home is equipped with 2 outdoor security cameras as well as a fully fenced in yard. In a client’s home, I respect the space while ensuring pets receive consistent care, enrichment, and companionship. In my home, pets are given a calm, safe environment with supervision, structured routines, and positive reinforcement. With my veterinary technician experience and animal care and dog training certifications, I’m able to administer medications, support training, care for puppies, and provide gentle, attentive care for senior pets. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and various small animals, I'm well-prepared to look after your beloved pet. As a current owner of two dogs(cockapoo and pitbull), five cats, and two guinea pigs, I'm comfortable with senior pets, administering medications (even to picky eaters!), and doing whatever it takes to ensure your peace of mind while you're away. I currently work a full time job with a block schedule so I know my availability ahead of time. Even on the days I work I am willing to stop by before and/or after work. I am great with late nights as my shifts end at 3AM I am respectful entering my clients home and willing to follow any instructions provided to me. If I am ever unsure about anything I will contact my client to ensure I’m giving their pets proper care.
“Roberta was great with our small dog. Daily walks were supported with pictures and video, she was very respectful and loving with him. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future jobs as they come up and would highly recommend that others in the area do as well if you want a solid, honest animal lover looking after yours.”
About: I have had various dogs since I was a child including dachshunds, jack russels, and chihuahuas. I’ve always helped around the house and with the animals. (We’ve even had goats, chickens, goats, and a pig! So I know how to handle different dynamics.) I have trained and taken care of my own dachshund puppy over the past two years. I’ve taught him tricks, crate trained him, and navigated how to walk on a leash properly. As an early grad I am working to build my schedule with work. I make time for what’s important to me and that includes YOUR FURRY BABIES! I do have one part time job but I am very flexible with my availability. If you prefer me to be present at the house 24/7 I will! If you are okay with me working a shift or two while petsitting I can do that as well. All I need is communication! I will act and provide my services based on you and your pets needs. I am comfortable to give medicine, take your pets out for potty breaks any time they need, to crate them or share a bed for my stay.
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter as the wonderful world of pet sitting. I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness as I cherish the attention and love every dog big or small, requires thank you and I look forward to creating a friendship with you and bonding with your pet. I’m great for holidays always available

“Cassandra was OUTSTANDING! I cannot recommend her enough. She cared for my pups while I was on vacation and they were so loved! She sent pictures, snuggled them, and was so calm when any issues came up! She is wonderful!”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“Liceth was awesome! It was my first time using Rover and she helped me through the process. Enjoyed our meet and greet to get everyone acclimated and she did an amazing job over the weekend and sent plenty of pics. Will definitely be using Liceth again!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond caring for my dog! She even took the time to read through his full profile to understand his needs and quirks, which meant a lot. I got updates, and my pup came home happy and relaxed. So grateful for the extra care and attention. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Andrew and Chelsea! They took fantastic care of my dog and provided updates on him throughout my time away. He was a happy pup when I picked him up! I highly recommend!”
“Amber did an amazing job with Parker, he came back super relaxed and sleepy. She was a huge help when we were down on our luck and had just a few days to book a boarding. Her home is super safe for all kinds of puppies, and her children were great with Parker. I definitely recommend booking, and will book again!”
“Asher had an amazing time on our week away! We never had any worries about his care and received plenty of updates via picture and videos. He also had so much fun with Prince Harry! Thank you again for taking care of Asher !”
“Our Layla had a great time with Samantha and family! Communication was wonderful and I was happy to get some pictures during our time away. I would definitely recommend and plan on booking with her again!”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
“Roberta was awesome with our dog Aria! This is the first time we left her with anyone. We were very nervous about doing it but then we met Roberta. She is great with animals and you can tell right away how much love she has for them. She sent us pictures of Aria during her week stay so we knew she was doing well. Will definitely use her services again!”
“We never leave our dog with anyone but family. Since all our family needed to be at our wedding we needed someone to watch Carl. Jim’s property is perfect for animals. Jim treated him like family. He was even allowed on the couch! Jim sent us pictures to show how Carl was relaxing. We recommend using Jim.”
About: I have large breed experience with having had a Great Dane of my own from 8 weeks old. My siamese cat lived to 19 years old so I have senior care experience as well. I also have pet sit for my friends and family the past 10 years. I work full-time during the week 8 hours a day, but would be able to take care of them before leaving for work and after I get home. I never work weekends so Saturday and Sunday I'm available to them all day. I have a townhouse with a fenced in back yard. No current animals of my own. Would enjoy taking dogs for a long walk at the park!
“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.”
“Great sitter! Sent us assuring updates and pictures, of our girl, while we were away. We were thankful that this years vacation plan went as scheduled and we were able to have Kathy care for Nala during her 1st trip away from her Mom and Dad!”
“Lisa did a great job with our 1 year old lab Franklin, he was very happy there all day. Lisa sent us pictures of him playing. Would definitely use her services again!”
