“This was our first time ever boarding our 17 month old Shih Tzu. And we had to leave him in the cone of shame for a sore he wouldn’t stop licking. I was uneasy to say the least. But our little guy liked Evelyn from the start. She has a calm, easy going demeanor that he liked instantly. She sent me photos and updates regularly especially since I was nervous about the sore on his skin. His stay went off without a hitch. We will definitely be using Evelyn again. Grateful for her good care of our sweet dog!”
“Evelyn was very professional, kind and very friendly which made me feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. I was very impress with the full detail text and pictures that was send daily, Thank you for taking GREAT CARE of "Cocky". I was very please with the services and have all intends of using her services again. Elaine M.”
“Isabela was amazing with our yorki. She sent regular updates with pictures and was quick to respond whenever I reached out!! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much for treating our dog like it was your own :)”
“Ms. Monica provided amazing service! She maintained communication and provided pictures and video!! My little pup looked so sweet and peaceful with her. She made us feel like a loved family member! When we picked Bentley up, he was right there cuddled up with her. He even let her touch his paws, which he does not let people he has just met, so. She was very knowledgeable about the large and small, no detail not considered, for example, the type of grass she has and why(because it’s beneficial for doggies)! My pup stayed with a family member as far as I’m concerned and we are ssoooo grateful!! Book with Ms. Monica, because I promise you, you will rest assured knowing your fur baby is with someone that cares for them just as much as you do, shoot maybe even more lol! Thanks Ms. Monica, we will be back!”
“Alexis did a wonderful job of taking care of our beagle, Wylie. She texted me with an update almost every day. I will definitely have Wylie stay with her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Paola was wonderful with Riley. He took to her right away, letting me know she was a good person because dogs have six sense about those things. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would never hesitate about leaving my fur baby with Paola because she loved him like I would at home. She kept me informed with text and pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you ever need to leave your fur baby, they will be cared for Paola. 😊”
“OMG. For my first experience of needing a sitter the bar has been set very high as well as my expectation moving forward. Raquel went above and beyond to give my Ivy a comfortable, playfully and welcoming stay. After telling Raquel the wrong information she was very accommodating and made me feel at ease with the check-ins. I recommend anyone if you need a sitter 10/10 chose Raquel.”
“Daisy takes such great care of MJ! We appreciate her so much for our travel needs. Her communication and commitment to quality care is why we will stick with her for our sitting needs.”
“Nicci came through for us on short notice. Her dogs and our dog made friends and our separation-anxiety prone dog was able to have plenty of fun and exercise to relax and enjoy her stay. Good communication. We would absolutely trust our dog to her again in the future.”
“Jen is awesome! I have used quite a few sitters with Rover and they have been good, but Jen is GREAT! I have never felt more comfortable leaving my little man. She gave him his medicine on time and was patient when he refused. She kept me updated every step of the way and I so appreciated that. She is definitely my #1 request. Not sure if I will feel comfortable with anyone else after using Jen. My little man was even a little sad after returning home. If you are looking for a great sitter, look no further!!!”
“My lovely little Eleanor enjoyed her stay . Luisa took such good care . She sent pictures through out the day and reassured me that she was okay and that she was using the cat litter like she should. She is responsible and on top of everything. We were blessed to have her .”
“Lauren was excellent and helped us out with boarding for our dog at the last minute when our other arrangements fell through. She sent photos to reassure us all was going well. It was so nice to find someone nearby we could rely on on such short notice.”
“She is awesome!!! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! She follows the instructions sends us videos and picture mail throughout the day. Our ghost loves her!!! And we are repeating customers!!”

“Ashley is awesome and a sweet person, too. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. My cats are very attached to me and not that comfortable with strangers.

About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart! I’ve been cat sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for years, and I truly love getting to know each cat’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, independent, or extra cuddly. In our own neighborhood, we help care for stray cats by making sure they’re fed, safe, and loved whenever possible. One of those neighborhood strays completely stole our hearts, and we eventually welcomed them into our family permanently! I understand that cats thrive on patience, routine, and gentle care, and I’ll make sure your cat feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, cuddles, or simply a calm and reliable presence, I’m happy to help.
“We cannot say enough great things about Alexis! She recently watched our dogs again, and just like always, she did an amazing job. From daily updates to thoughtful care, she treats our pups like they’re her own. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in great hands when we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. From here on out, Alexis will always be our go-to person for dog sitting. Reliable, caring, and professional—she’s simply the best!”
“We cannot recommend Brandon enough! We had a sudden, urgent need for a cat sitter due to a funeral out of town, and Brandon was an absolute lifesaver. He responded to our request within minutes, easing our stress during an already difficult time. His professionalism and dedication while we were away were truly five-star. He sent messages and multiple pictures of our cats every single time he checked in, giving us complete peace of mind knowing they were happy and well-cared for. If you need reliable, prompt, and genuinely caring service for your animal needs, look no further. We highly, highly recommend Brandon!”
“Kayla was very attentive to our fur babies. She came by the house around the same time every day, played and loved on the kitties. She did a great job giving us daily updates and leaving them full of treats. Will be booking with Kayla again!”
“Dominic was great. She was very attentive to the needs of our cats and made every agent to make them feel comfortable. She Keir is updated with the status and when issues arose, Dominic handled them professionally and quickly. She is great and we will request her services again.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.

About: I spent over two years managing a dog training facility, so I really understand how to make pups feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m also Dog CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority. What really makes my boarding special is that your dog isn’t just a guest — they become part of a warm, nurturing family. From playtime and cuddles to cozy naps, your pup will feel right at home while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work outside the house for only about two hours a day, so I’m home the majority of the time to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m available all weekdays and stay flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups to make things easy for you. Whether it’s morning walks, cuddle breaks, or evening playtime, I make sure every dog feels cared for and part of the family all day long. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my family! I have a big fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies, plus another friendly dog who loves making new friends. Our two little ones adore helping with gentle pets and belly rubs — it’s truly a home full of love. Everyone’s safety always comes first, so if a pup prefers quiet time or needs their own space, I make sure they have a comfy, peaceful spot to relax. Your dog will feel right at home with plenty of love, care, and family fun every day.
About: We’ve always had dogs and cats in our home but we are a military family so we move around often and we are not ready to bring one in permanently so I thought helping others with theirs would be perfect. I know I needed help with mine so I’m happy to repay the favor to others now. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs), private yard, no other animals in the home. I’m home all day and would love a buddy or two to join us from time to time! I only ask that dogs are kid friendly! We don’t mind animals on furniture but will adhere to any at home rules you may set (if you don’t allow them to do certain things at home, I won’t deter any training and let them do it here and vice versa!). Crate trained dogs are preferred but definitely not required! Just know a lot of dogs may do better in a new setting by having their own spaces to retreat to! I’m a stay at home mom, other than school drop off/pick up & errands, I’m home to care for pets in my home or visit a pet in their home We treat all pets like they're part of the family. When it comes to caring for pets, I'm all about creating a cozy, safe, fun environment for them. From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I'd make sure they feel right at home. We live on a private road with plenty of space to run around. Whether it's a scratch behind the ears or a tasty treat, I'd give them all the love and attention they deserve. And you can bet I'd be sending you cute photos and updates to let you know they're in good hands!
“First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Exactly what we expected from their bio on Rover. Courteous, professional and punctual. We look forward to them taking care of our boys for a long time. Thank you Janece and Matthew.”
About: I own & operate Champ STRONG Kennels, a small capacity, in home boarding business where dogs are treated like family. They can enjoy supervised indoor play, outdoor time in my fenced backyard, & regular potty breaks every 2 hours. I follow each dog's individual routine based on the information you provide prior to their stay, including feeding schedules, medications, & any special care instructions. For safety, dogs are separated during feeding & may be kenneled for sleeping, rest periods, or arrivals & departures when appropriate. My limited capacity allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention & care. I've spent over 25 years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, & personalities. My business was inspired by my Boston Terrier, Champ, whose legacy lives on through the care I provide every dog that stays with me. Please note: I require all new clients to book a daycare appointment as a trial before I can accept a boarding reservation. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable in my home environment & is a good fit. My dropoff/pickup windows are currently Monday through Friday, 7AM to 10AM & 4PM to 7PM, and Saturday through Sunday 8AM to 10AM. Currently I'm unavailable for dropoff/pickup on major US Holidays. *Hours subject to change based upon availability. I have open space for indoor play & a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Though dogs are free to roam & play while staying with me, during other dropoffs & pickups, dogs are always secured in kennels for their safety.
About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.

I have a big house and a big yard. Your fur baby will have his/her own safe space in the house to use as they feel the need. I also have education in animal behavior, and nutrition.
“I highly recommend Randi. She is very attentive, patient and willing. She has helped me keep the potty training going and he has been amazing. Her dogs are the sweetest so my Xano loves hanging out.”
“Riley had such a good time with the other dogs. First time for her to go to doggie daycare. I think I was more nervous than Riley was. Andrea, the sitter, was so kind and patient with her. I will definitely be booking with Andrea again.”
“I like that I was able to take a tour, inside and out, of where my girls would be during daycare. The property was kept clean and well maintained. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day. I had an overall very positive experience and would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve always loved taking care of dogs! When I was younger my family had two dogs: a chihuahua named droopy and a German shepherd named Chico. Having them taught me how to care for dogs of different sizes and needs. When it comes to taking care of puppies and senior dogs, I am always patient and attentive. I am more than happy to take care of your pet! I’m available on weekends and weekdays during the summertime for boarding and day-sitting. I can adhere to any feeding, bathroom, and care schedules or instructions provided. I have fenced yard, so I can take pets for outside time. I am only able to petsit from my house and cannot pickup or drop-off your pets.
“I would give her more stars if I could! Our dog, Thor, is an 80 lb 8 year old baby that usually gets very stressed when he is away from us. When I went to pick him up, he was glad to see me but not frantic at all. I have never taken him to doggie day care or boarding when he didn’t come home stressed. Today was incredible. He was relaxed and happy. I will definitely book Katyra again and intend to use her for boarding when we go on vacation. She is kind and patient. She figured out that Thor is really chill as long as he is near or can see people. She also figured out that he likes to look out the window and opened the shades for him. What a kind and wonderful dog caregiver.”
“Our puppy has been going to doggy day care with Liza and it has been so great I had to give her another review! Liza has been a blessing and lifesaver for our new pup. She’s friendly, flexible, kind, and we can tell genuinely cares for our puppy. Her little girls have really grown fond of him as well, and she sends the cutes pics of their play time each visit. I know our puppy loves them because he is so excited every time we drop him off. Thank you so much to Liza and her family for caring for our little guy!”

“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets and have always been surrounded by animals. We currently have 3 large dogs, rats, guinea pigs, a hamster, a crested gecko, and parrots, so I’m experienced with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I work in the school district, which gives me a very flexible schedule and lots of availability during the summer months. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. One of my biggest dreams is to eventually open a senior dog sanctuary because senior dogs hold such a special place in my heart! I currently work full time in the school district and have summers off. During the summer I am available at any time. :) During the school year weekends are best, but I can do afternoon & evening visits. I will follow any instructions you have for your fur babies. I understand all pets have different needs and wants. Any communication about needs or wants for your baby will be taken care of.

About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs. My professional pet sitting experience includes small and large dog breeds, as well as cats. I have a background in animal science and care so I am the ideal sitter for pets with high medical needs and elderly pets.

I currently work from home, so I am available at home 24/7. Great for pets that are potty training or need multiple play times a day. I abide with the rules and schedule of the owner. Not required, but I encourage a meet and greet for first time clients for care instructions and to ask any questions.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.
“Carolyn was a huge help to me today! I had a full day of work and kids activity and no time to walk my dog, and she was able to help me out of the jam and get my dog the exercise he needed on super short notice. She took great care of him!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.

“Alexis did a wonderful job of taking care of our beagle, Wylie. She texted me with an update almost every day. I will definitely have Wylie stay with her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Paola was wonderful with Riley. He took to her right away, letting me know she was a good person because dogs have six sense about those things. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would never hesitate about leaving my fur baby with Paola because she loved him like I would at home. She kept me informed with text and pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you ever need to leave your fur baby, they will be cared for Paola. 😊”
“Daisy takes such great care of MJ! We appreciate her so much for our travel needs. Her communication and commitment to quality care is why we will stick with her for our sitting needs.”
“Lauren was excellent and helped us out with boarding for our dog at the last minute when our other arrangements fell through. She sent photos to reassure us all was going well. It was so nice to find someone nearby we could rely on on such short notice.”
“She is awesome!!! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! She follows the instructions sends us videos and picture mail throughout the day. Our ghost loves her!!! And we are repeating customers!!”
“When our dog sitter canceled the day before we were to leave, Someone recommended Rover. I was hesitant, but I found Sabastian and was happy with his bio. He responded immediately and agreed to get our dog the next day. I am so thankful to them. He and his family took such good care of our baby. He sent us pictures throughout the stay and reassured everything was great and our dog was enjoying thier dogs. Our dog was well taken care of and healthy and happy when we picked him up. Sabastian was very welcoming and kind to us and our dog and I am so thankful that we found him. We will definitely use him again.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was so happy with Kayla and Jonathan. I would absolutely use them again. We were travelling internationally and Kayla was amazing at communicating throughout the whole process. She was very flexible, and when our return flight was delayed (significantly) she was very accommodating of a change in pickup time. I had no worries whatsoever for the time that Jesse stayed with them. They made travelling so much easier by providing peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
“First time boarding my pup and Lexie made it a great process. Amazing facility and attention to care. Got updates daily. Will definitely go through her again if I need boarding services.”
“Randi was awesome taking care of my 2 pups. She is very communicative and sends pics daily. She has a safe place to keep them while still having room for fun. I will use her again! Highly recommended.”
“Merrell took such great care of Saint, both weekends I was out of town. She regularly communicated and sent photos of my pup playing and keeping me updated on how he doing/getting along with her other dogs. I would highly recommend using Merrell for your pet sitting needs!”
“Kathy was great! She took wonderful care of my dog while my partner and I were on vacation overseas. She has several sweet natured dogs and my dog had so much fun playing with them. Kathy also sent daily updates with sweet photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a safe place to leave their pet.”
