“Chonlada and her family provided a wonderful stay for our dog who is sixteen years old and has dietary and other special needs. She was treated like she was at a spa retreat. They even knitted her a new sweater!”
“My 1 year old cockapoo Lucy had the BEST week with Diego & Amelia’s family! She was well cared for & more, and she grew very attached to their loving family! Their son played with her all the time. Their two dogs got along well with her. We received daily photos of her looking right at home with everyone! Lucy was sad to say goodbye, she whined when we left! I will definitely be bringing her to stay with Diego & Amelia again! I highly recommend Diego & Amelia to welcome your dog into their family while you are away! Thank you so so very much!!! ?”
“This was our first time trusting someone with our pup as well as our babies first time being away from us for more than a day, and I am happy to say Amanda is the best dog sitter you could ask for. She sends multiple photos/updates, has a beautiful yard, and enjoys cuddles as much as our girl does. Definitely will be rebooking with her and recommending her to close friends. Thank you again for taking care of Lady whilst we were away ! 10/10✨✨✨”

“Alexa was fantastic and a great “first-time sleepover” host for my 5-month old pup. It was obvious that Roxie had a ton of fun playing with the other dogs at Alexa’s, as she was napping most of the following day. We’ll definitely be seeing her again and I’d recommend you check her out as well!”
“Hollie was a great caretaker for my dog, Odin. She has great communication and gave me udpates and sent me pictures constantly. Her dog Jovi is very sweet as well. Odin had a really good time there, for sure!”

“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!”
“Deb took amazing care of Luna, and made us feel very secure she was being left in safe hands. She gave us daily updates on all their walks and playtimes, and she even bought Luna some toys which we truly appreciated. I highly recommend her!”
“Dana made a last minute stay so easy and comforting! After our sitter had cancelled, Dana was willing to take our Berkley in for the weekend with no question. She gave us frequent updates and really gave our pup the exercise and attention he needed! Can’t thank her enough for being awesome!”
“Diego had a great visit! Brandi kept us updated with pictures the whole time and was very well cared for. He went on lots of long walks and had plenty of cuddle and play time. Would definitely send him to Brandi again and recommend to anyone else.”

Our dog is the anxious type, but Lynda worked really well with him. Thanks so much for your excellent care of Rosco!”

“Natalie did an amazing job of doing drop-in visits for my two cats while I was away on vacation. She made sure they were well taken care of and sent a ton of photos. She went above and beyond making my cats feel comfortable and happy. She even got my shy cat to come out for her! Thank you Natalie!!! 😁”
“Kayleigh and her husband were both amazing with my kitten! She sent detailed daily updates with a bunch of pictures. I would 100% recommend her services to other pet parents!”
“Brianna took great care of our kitties. She watched our house and kitties for a little over a week. She went out of her way to reassure one of skiddish ones (Colorado) and well as giving belly pets and treats. Very professional, took pictures, great communicator. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Shuhuan is a so kind and professional pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were in a week-long business trip. She always came to our house at the scheduled time frame, and played around with our two cats together. She even helped us to adjust the auto feeder clock during the daylight saving time begins on Sunday. It seems like both of our two cats like her very much!”
“Valerie cared for our two larger dogs while we were on vacation. She is terrific and I would recommend her to anyone. She really cares about maintaining the pets routine and making them happy. She follows any instructions you provide, shows up on time and is highly communicative. Our dogs are high energy and need structure which she easily handled. She put our minds at ease with her professionalism and love of animals.”
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”
“Sophia went above and beyond caring for my cats during a massive heatwave, checking in with us and reassuring us that the air conditioning was still working well. The cats were well taken care of! Would absolutely hire again.”
“Rachael sent me messages and pictures which provided updates on how things were at home. Seems to be very experienced and knowledgeable about cat sitting and care. Overall all a good sitter.”
“Melodi took care of my two cats for the first time this month. I must say, she really has a way with cats! My older cat Morgan usually hides the first couple days with a new sitter, but she never did this with Melodi. It was as if Morgan already knew her. Melodi is very conscientious and caring. I definitely plan on using her for my pet care needs in the future.”
About: My family rescued our cat Suma from the SPCA, and caring for her has given me hands-on experience with daily cat care and understanding feline behavior. I know how important it is for cats to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I provide calm, reliable visits with feeding, litter box cleaning, attention, and playtime based on each cat’s personality and needs.
“Julain is AMAZING! He took such good care of my little one and sent tons of photos. I’ve had my friends sit Horus before and honestly he was WAY happier with Julain. I honestly noticed a difference when I came back. He wasn’t as upset with me for leaving and seemed calm, he really liked him. Anyways you won’t regret hiring him at all, truly a pleasure and a really nice guy in general.”

“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing.

“Hollie was absolutely wonderful with Chacho! She watched him for three days of daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in caring and capable hands. Hollie kept me updated, made sure Chacho was comfortable, and gave him plenty of opportunities to play and socialize with the other dogs. He had an amazing time and came home happy, relaxed, and completely worn out, which is always a sign of a great day for him! It’s clear that Hollie genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I truly appreciated her kindness, communication, and dedication to making sure Chacho had a fun and safe stay. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”

“I can’t say enough good things. Thoughtful, kind and gentle and so easy to leave my pet with these lovely people. I am so grateful for their animal love and easy manners. Made my experience wonderful. Thank you!”
“Shona and her family were amazing! Our dogs have never been to daycare and never boarded, but they loved it. Shona sent pictures and kept us updated. One of our dogs is afraid of everything, but she was happy and comfortable enough to nap on their sofa. And Shona was not even upset that we arrived early and woke her up, lol! We will definitely be repeat customers when the need arises. We would recommend Shona to anyone.”
“I am so lucky to have found Erica on Rover. She is amazing and my doggies absolutely had a fabulous time with her ! She is pleasant and kind and after the first visit they got excited when they saw her for their second day. Going to work is so easy now that my guys have Erica caring for them. We are going to continue with her for as long as she will have them.”
“Ena and Daniel watched my pup on very short notice today- which I appreciated immensely! My little girl is very skittish and I was worried that she wouldn’t interact but it was just the opposite- within 15 minutes of me dropping her off they posted pictures of her on their laps, drinking water and hanging out with their dog it made my stressful day so much better! I will definitely be using them again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 25 years and have experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with Siberian Huskies and have spent my life around animals, both as a pet owner and caregiver. I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs! My experience includes walks, feeding, administering oral medications, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or well-being while you’re away. In addition to pet care, I have experience maintaining freshwater aquariums, including water quality monitoring and tank care, as well as basic indoor plant care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible part-time work schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy staying active through walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting and dog walking are a rewarding part of my routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and individual needs, from feeding schedules and walks to medications and favorite activities. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping owners updated with messages and cute photos! I make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and care.
“Rosie took my dog for a walk for the first time recently. My dog is extremely wary of new people, but Rosie managed to win her favor. She sent me lots of status updates and a video of my dog playing with her VERY happily, which is always a great sign. I'm sure we'll be using Rosie again in the future!”

About: Animals have always been a piece of my heart. I love every single breed of dogs. I’m always the one someone calls when they need a pet sitter. I care for the animals like no other. I have worked in the doggy daycare/ boarding industry for 2 years, I am a farm girl at heart. I have owned many animals including horses, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, & roosters! Right now I am unemployed since I had a cross country move. I am available all day everyday to sit with your pup, play, walk, whatever you would need me to do! I have my own Golden Retriever and Siberian Husky that loves to play. You will always catch my golden and I at the dog park. We love to play fetch!
“By the pictures alone, Ralph seems to have loved it. When we made it home, it was nice to know he was able to relieve himself while we were both unable to do so due to a strange glitch in our schedules. JEN WAS GREAT! Her communication was perfect, she was as very attentive and made me feel at ease from close to 100 miles away from home.”
“Like Julian right away. As soon as he walked in the door , he had an immediate connection with our puppy, Oscar. Oscar has his moments, and sometimes does not listen. Not the case with Julian. Oscar listened to Julian and followed his direction immediately. My husband and I were very impressed. After the meet and greet, and we hired Julian on the spot.. The 30 minute walks are documented with a map, photos, activities, and comments. Julian was punctual and conscientious. I highly recommend Rover.com. More than that, I would recommend Julian to anyone.”

About: Hi! I’m Amber and animals have always had my heart. I’ve grown up having pets my entire life, so caring for them is natural to me. Right now, we have a Norwegian elkhound and a cane corso. I also have two cats.Before them, we’ve still always had atleast one dog and a cat. My dog that recently passed away who was a massive mix, felt with hip issues and medication, so when it comes to sensitivity in certain spots or extra care, I completely understand. Im comfortable around all breeds/ sizes of dogs and I am willing to adapt to your dog to be sure them good care. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own; with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’m very attentive and understanding, and I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, needs, and routines. Whether your dog is super playful, a little shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I always communicate and send updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, and I take caring for them very seriously (while still making sure we have tons of fun!). I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to care for your best friend and make your life a little easier. I’m available full time except the days that I work my part time job, which will be marked on my calendar or I will be sure you know I’m not available. I work twice a week, either 1st or 2nd shift, but I will mark my calendar/ let you know if it is a day that doesn’t work for me! Other than that, I am fully available and I have my own car for transportation. I have a fenced yard with two super friendly dogs. We live in a house with all dog people and have watched families dogs in the past.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life so I’m very familiar with the care and attention they need everyday. I’ve been professionally dog sitting for two years now and have experience with both younger and older dogs. I like to think that I’m giving your dog a little vacation of their own while you’re away, and will do my very best to help them feel cared for and secure during that time. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week! I’m happy to walk/tend to your dog during the week for short periods of time. I have more time on the weekends to dog sit as needed! I’ll care for your dog(s) like I would my own while looking after them. I’m very tentative and look/listen for their signals to know if they need to go out or just want some attention. I always make sure if there’s been a mess to clean it right away and cover/block off the area for a bit so your pet won’t try to lick up any chemicals. I also make sure that their collar/leash is on securely before taking them out for a walk to prevent any incidents from occurring.

He also has a great fenced-in backyard where the dogs can safely play. The best sign of all was that my dog was genuinely excited to see Ben again on a repeat visit. I’ll definitely continue using Ben in the future and highly recommend him. 🐾”
