“Jared was absolutely amazing as a dog sitter! He welcomed our 2 dogs into his home and kept us updated all day with photos and messages! We knew they were being fed, played with and loved on and that made leaving them behind so much easier. We will definitely use him again!”
“Veronica and her husband did an amazing job with Cooper we really loved the pictures that came daily. It was his first time being away so we were nervous and I didn't feel comfortable with the kennels so this gave him the freedom to run and staying in a house like he was use to and gave me much better piece of mind.”
“Jon and Shayne are fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and they were incredibly easy to communicate with, also making sure to send pictures every day. I know our dog was well taken care of and will miss all the play time she had with the other dogs. We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their dog to have a great experience!”
“Laura did a great job taking care of my baby boy!! She was very accommodating when I had to extend my pick up time. Maison had a ball run in the yard and playing with the other dogs. All in all it was a good experience. 👍🏾”
“Cristina took wonderful loving care of my boy. All my requests were obliged. Angus clearly adored her. I plan on asking her to dog sit in the future. She sent me lots of pictures which helped put my mind at ease. I usually board him at the vet and he doesn’t get the level of care he got with Cristina. Many thanks!”
“Kelly is fantastic! Our dog Elle gets nervous around new people but warmed up to Kelly almost immediately. While we were away, she sent us pictures and detailed updates which were very appreciated!”
“Angela and Rick truly loved on our Harley. They welcomed Harley into their home as if she was family. Even allowed her on their furniture. They took and sent daily pictures of Harley making herself at home. It was awsome not having to worry about Harley. Harley definitely made new friends. I would highly recommend Angela and Rick to care for your fur babies. We will be booking with them again! Thank you Rover.com for connecting us to Angela and Rick!!!”
“Matthew and Heidi were extremely patient with Daisy. She was unexpectedly nervous but they provided a wonderful environment and adapted to her needs. I’m very grateful for their loving care and kindness.”
“Fantastic Family and care. My baby loved it and wasn't excited about going home which is a great sign of top care. Appreciate the love and care she got while we were gone. 100% recommend and we will use them again.”
“Leo had a blast during his short pawcation at Nikki's. He loves outdoors so their back yard was perfect. Thanks for taking care of him and improving my Rover experience. He'll be back 😁🫶🏾”
“Fabienne was fantastic with my Ginny girl! She sent lots of updates and pictures so I could follow along. Very good communication and she is very sweet and caring. Will definitely use again!!”
“Becky and Stan are simply the best! They are our go-to sitters for our dog because we know we can enjoy the peace of mind that our dog is being well taken care of and spoiled!”
“We had a really great experience with Julie. She was very proactive in sending us updates and photos of Rusty. We felt reassured that he was well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely use her services for future dog-sitting/boarding needs.”
“Brianna was an excellent sitter! She was very communicative, giving me updates on our sweet Willow with pictures and videos while we were away. She followed instructions to a T & took the best care of our puppy. I would definitely book her again!”
“Dorothy was wonderful! She communicated well through our pup’s stay. Also received precious pictures each day. I would definitely recommend her to be your fur baby’s petsitter.”
“Our recent stay for Sam with Madison was our first time using the Rover app. Wow! We could not have asked for more -- it genuinely blew us away how great the experience was! Madison was a tremendous host for Sam -- extremely responsive on the message app; very courtesy and friendly with the drop-off of Sam; provided photos/video and daily recaps of Sam's stay; and was flexible and willing to accommodate us to our convenience on pick-up. Not only have we found the Rover app to be easy to navigate and efficient with the information it provides -- we have found Madison to be an All-Star Sitter, that frankly probably provided better care for Sam than he receives on a weekly basis at home! Genuinely very impressed and appreciative of Madison and the Rover platform.”

“Crystal was terrific with my cat. Our sitter canceled a few days before our trip and Crystal responded right away, taking a huge load off my mind. She was conscientious and took great care of my shy girl. Crystal was great and we would ask her to care for our cat again!”
“Jessica was an amazing cat sitter! She was very attentive to the cats; Cinnamon loved her so much. She sent pictures of our cats and left report cards after each visit. We also really appreciated her quickly informing us that we had an ant problem. Thanks to her, we were able to address the issue while we were away. Thank you!”
About: I have always loved cats. They are mysterious and affectionate, and each cat is unique with its own distinct personality. I have lived with cats and kittens since I was a child. I once hid a kitten in my closet that was rejected by his mom, and bottle fed it with a doll bottle! I hid him because my dad didn't want anymore cats. But the kitten grew into adulthood and he was one of my dad's favorites!
“Justine was wonderful with my fur babies and very thorough! She was able to get my shyest cat to play and that says a lot about her. I appreciate the time and effort she spent with my boys and I will continue to trust her with them in the future!”

In my house, your dog will have the ability to roam freely. My dogs are allowed on the furniture, so if that is something you are okay with, your dog will be allowed too. I do have an extra large wire crate that I used with my dogs when they were young, so you will not need to provide a crate if your dog requires that. If your dog does not use a crate, that is fine too. Charlie is a 100lb mix that is very friendly. He will play with other dogs if that is what they want and he will also lay and be very relaxed.

About: Hi! I’m Sarah, lifelong dog lover, professional dog walker, and proud pup parent to Greylee, my sweet 7 year old black Lab and the absolute highlight of my life. Dogs have always been part of my world, and caring for them is second nature to me. What sets me apart is my experience with senior pups and newborn litters. I’ve spent years lovingly administering medication to elderly dogs with special health needs, ensuring they’re comfortable, safe, and thriving on every walk or visit. I’ve also had the joy and responsibility of helping deliver puppies and providing attentive aftercare for both mom and pups for up to four weeks, from warm snuggles to round the clock watchfulness.

Outside of those times, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your dog’s needs, whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon potty break, or an evening cuddle visit. Just let me know what works for you, and I’ll show up with patience, love, and lots of tail wags! 🐾 When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I give to the animals themselves. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, but I also understand that your home is a personal and trusted space. I make sure to: • Follow your home and pet care routines exactly as instructed • Clean up after myself and your pet (muddy paws, accidents, food, etc.) • Keep doors locked, alarms set, and your privacy protected • Never invite guests or cross personal boundaries, your home is yours alone I aim to bring a calm, respectful presence into your home so that your pet feels safe and happy, and you feel total peace of mind. You can trust that I’ll care for both your pet and your space with gentleness, reliability, and integrity.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I could walk! During my entire childhood our home was always filled with dogs - after all, a house is not a home without a dog :) I love all kinds of dogs - from little to big, dogs who like to lounge and dogs who like to run around all the time. I enjoy snuggling dogs and giving ear scratches, but also throwing a ball or going for a long walk.

“Jared was absolutely amazing as a dog sitter! He welcomed our 2 dogs into his home and kept us updated all day with photos and messages! We knew they were being fed, played with and loved on and that made leaving them behind so much easier. We will definitely use him again!”
“Veronica and her husband did an amazing job with Cooper we really loved the pictures that came daily. It was his first time being away so we were nervous and I didn't feel comfortable with the kennels so this gave him the freedom to run and staying in a house like he was use to and gave me much better piece of mind.”
“Jon and Shayne are fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and they were incredibly easy to communicate with, also making sure to send pictures every day. I know our dog was well taken care of and will miss all the play time she had with the other dogs. We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their dog to have a great experience!”
“Laura did a great job taking care of my baby boy!! She was very accommodating when I had to extend my pick up time. Maison had a ball run in the yard and playing with the other dogs. All in all it was a good experience. 👍🏾”
“Kelly is fantastic! Our dog Elle gets nervous around new people but warmed up to Kelly almost immediately. While we were away, she sent us pictures and detailed updates which were very appreciated!”
“Matthew and Heidi were extremely patient with Daisy. She was unexpectedly nervous but they provided a wonderful environment and adapted to her needs. I’m very grateful for their loving care and kindness.”
“Fantastic Family and care. My baby loved it and wasn't excited about going home which is a great sign of top care. Appreciate the love and care she got while we were gone. 100% recommend and we will use them again.”
“Fabienne was fantastic with my Ginny girl! She sent lots of updates and pictures so I could follow along. Very good communication and she is very sweet and caring. Will definitely use again!!”
“Dorothy was wonderful! She communicated well through our pup’s stay. Also received precious pictures each day. I would definitely recommend her to be your fur baby’s petsitter.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals — from goats and pigs to dogs and cats! I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra attention or care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or helping with basic training, I make sure your pet gets the same love and consistency they’re used to at home. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 4 year old so I am available at any time of the day and any day or the week! When caring for pets, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re in my home or yours. I always take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to walks and playtime. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with updates and photos to keep you at ease. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every animal like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.

“Garrett was fantastic with our dog, Bailey! He took her to the dog park, gave her a bath, and kept us updated with daily photos and videos. His communication was great, and it was clear he genuinely cared about Bailey. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Garrett again! Highly recommend!!”
“Kristen is Amazing, I am really grateful I found her. Boarding Abel & Aimee with her was definitely the best. She kept me updated on my babies at all time with videos & pictures.”
“I loved that we kept in contact through the weekend. This was my girls (2 Chihuahuas) first time ever being away from me. They have always stayed with my family but since moving to a new state, I don't know anyone. After meeting her, I felt comfortable with leaving my baby girls. She communicated very well and sent me a picture of my girls. Thank you so much Karen.”
“Ben was great to give us updates on our dog Yuki as she stayed with him and his family over a weekend. She was well taken care of and it was great to have some peace of mind knowing Yuki was in good hands. I would certainly recommend Ben for anyone needing to have someone look after their pet!”
“We are beyond thankful for Suzanne and her son, Jackson! They were so welcoming when we first arrived! They went above and beyond in caring for our old pup (so much so that he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up!) We will absolutely rebook in the future ❤️”
“Andre and her family did a fantastic job caring for our mini bernedoodle! Andre was prompt with all communication and scheduling was easy. Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
“I had an amazing experience with Jonathan! I own a three-year-old, 125-pound Cane Corso named Chevi who I mistakenly thought was dog aggressive. However, Jonathan quickly assessed that she was just leash reactive like most dogs. Within 30 minutes of dropping her off, he had Chevi getting along well with other dogs and even sent me a video of her happily interacting. Jonathan truly went above and beyond to understand my big girl. I cannot believe I didn't find him sooner! It was the best experience I've ever had leaving my dog in someone else's care. We will definitely be back regularly! I give Jonathan a 10/10!”
