“Sebastian was fantastic with our dog. He shared pics multiple times a day and gave us consistent updates. Our dog had a wonderful time and was well cared for while visiting. They have a very large fenced backyard that allows for zoomies and exploring. We will be using him again in the future.”
“We felt so comfortable that Gina was taking care of our lab while we were away. This was the first time we’d ever left our dog with anyone, and it was a fantastic experience!”
“Our fur baby, Lena, had an awesome week with Carol! Carol did a wonderful job taking care of Lena and keeping us posted throughout the week with status updates and pictures. Carol treated Lena like she was her own providing love, exercise, and stable routine for her. I highly recommend Carol to care for your pets.”
“This is our second time staying with Jud and Nicole, and they are absolutely AMAZING! They are such patient, friendly, dog-loving people, and your dog will no doubt have a vacation of their own! My dog is very hyper, and they handle her so well, and always send lots of pictures and updates. Stay with them if you can!!!!”
“Lucas was so welcoming and flexible with our plans changing last minute at both drop off and pickup. He was amazing with the dogs and we got so many photos and updates. It was clear he loves what he does and the dogs know it!! Would definitely book with him again next time I’m in town!”
“We love Lindsey and Aaron! They were so sweet to our boy and he had the greatest time! He was so tired after playing all weekend he wasn’t even excited to see us haha we will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks again guys!!”
“Stacey is an absolutely amazing dog sitter who took wonderful care of our furbabies! They had a fun and comfy stay at Stacey's home as if they were home. We will be using her all the time when we need a dog sitter.”
“She was wonderful with Spike! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for while we were away. Her 3-year-old absolutely loved him, which was one of the sweetest parts of the whole experience. Spike was a little shy about eating at first, so she actually hand-fed him his breakfast until he felt comfortable enough to eat. That told me everything I needed to know about how loved and cared for he was while we were gone. Spike came home happy and clearly very comfortable with his stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to keep him. Highly recommend!”
“Katelyn and her daughter were amazing. I’m pretty sure this was the best time my dog has ever had at a dog sitter’s home. I got lots of pictures of Charlie being cuddled and he looked so happy ❤️. Katelyn was also super patient with us when our plane kept getting delayed. I would choose Katelyn to watch my dog again in a heartbeat!”
“Ashley was wonderful. Zena was right at home. I truly appreciate the care and attention Ashley and her family provided for Zena while we were out. I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a caring sitter for their pet. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Nontombe did an absolutely phenomenal job with our two dogs. This is my first experience using Rover and she represented well. My dogs loved her, and she kept us informed on a daily basis with pics and videos. Thank you so much Nontombe!”
“Sally is the best sitter I have ever had. There is nothing negative to say, only numerous positive comments, some of which include that: Lacie immediately took to Sally & now whines til I get her out of the car at her house, Sally knows the dogs very well so that she chooses which might be introduced with your permission (which has been great for my pet who interacts more with adults), Sally truly cares about the pets and lets me know how Lacie did (with many pictures) during the stay & individualizes activities and procedures to match your & your pet’s preferences/routines & needs. Thank you Sally! It’s good to know that Lacie is in good hands with you!”
“This was the first time leaving Cher Chee anywhere except a Kennel. Margie made me feel relaxed and Chee Chee took to her right away. We were gone a week and I felt certain she was in good hands. I will definitely use her again.”
“Eleftherios and Nicole were exceptional. They made my dog feel right at home. He has had issues with anxiety while staying at kennels, but he did great being in their home. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures throughout his stay! Thank you both so much!”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 2 dogs over the holiday weekend! They got lots of playtime and outside time, and they were both nice and tired by the time we picked them up! She sent a couple of pictures and a couple of updates. Just enough to let us know our dogs were doing well. One of my dogs is older with some arthritis, and she made sure he got all of his medicines and had a safe space to rest when he got tired out. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds of dogs for about 7-8 years now. Able to let out often, take on walks when needed and able to calm down at night! I have a full time job where I can work from home at anytime. Can let out any pet at any hour of the day! I have a fenced in back yard that’s about 5,000 square feet. My neighborhood is pretty flat as well so walks are easily doable for any pet!
About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I work from home full-time, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you're away. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is to make your pet's stay feel like a home away from home while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I'll be available all day to supervise and care for your pet. We'll enjoy playtime throughout the day, along with morning and evening walks, weather permitting. I have a fenced-in yard and a 6-year-old female American Staffy named Lilly. Lilly is very social and gets along great with other dogs and even cats.
“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Hannah was wonderful with our two kitties! She sent pictures and detailed Rover Cards that we truly appreciated! This made us much more relaxed while being away! She was not previously familiar with cat inhalers, but was willing to learn during the meet and greet. We will definitely book Hannah for future drop in visits! Thank you Hannah!”
About: Growing up with cats, I know that each one has their own unique personality and require personalized care. I’m up for whatever the challenge may be with your feline friend.
“My husband and I were extremely pleased with the services Emily provided and will definitely be using her again when the need arises. During the meet-and-greet, both Bobo and Ellie, my cats, were reluctant to come out of their safe places, which is normal when they encounter new people. However, based on Emily’s photos and videos, they warmed up to her on the first drop-in visit. Emily was always punctual and spent the entire remaining time playing with Bobo and Ellie after feeding and litter box duty. The videos show they both absolutely adored Emily and soaked in the attention they received from her. Emily gave twice daily summaries about feedings, litter box patrol, and playtime. She also accompanied the summaries with pictures and videos of Bobo and Ellie to reassure me they were just fine. Emily is definitely an asset to the Rover company! Her obvious love of animals, along with her ability to follow instructions, and her sweet, bubbly personality make her the best choice to take care of our fur babies! Thanks, Emily! You’re a gem!”
“Rebecca was great! Super informative about her visit and took lots of pictures too. You can tell she really cares about your animals and does everything she can to keep them comfortable and happy. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I've taken care of many different pets in my life, however, none is more special to me personally than cats. I have a strong and intuitive bond w/ cats and I understand their unique and diverse personalities, as well as their diverse levels of care. Friends and family have trusted me to pet sit for kittens as well as elderly cats. I myself have 3 cat children, and I prefer to sit w/cats in their own environments to make sure they feel safest in their own routines.
“Lindsey and Aaron dropped in every other day while I was away for a short time. They were kind enough to stop by beforehand to meet Marty and Oscar and exchange keys. Both of them seemed warm and friendly and experienced with handling cats! While I was away, they sent me regular updates with pictures of Marty and Oscar - the Rover app works well for this! Thanks for taking care of them!! I would definitely recommend Lindsey and Aaron to take good care of your pets so you can have a worry-free vacation!”
“Hannah went above and beyond caring for my cat while I was away for a few day. Her visits were always on time and I got detailed updates after each visit. She spent the entire half hour every visit and managed to win over my very shy cat. I am definitely going to try to book with Hannah any time I travel in the future.”
“This was the first time I have ever left my two cats while on vacation and was nervous about not being with them but Abigail truly went above and beyond and took such amazing care of them. She is the sweetest and I was able to be more relaxed while out of town knowing they were safe and being taken care of! Will definitely be using her again for any future trips!!”
“Whitney as always was wonderful. She went out of her way to find our shy girl in the house and snap photos for us while we were gone so we felt more assured. She even was kind enough to give the stray outside our home some food too. Thank you Whitney!”
About: 30+ years loving and caring for all types of fur babies! I've been around animals most of my life so it is second nature to me to take care of and love on them! Do you want someone not just to feed but also love your pets? I am currently between jobs and as such an available 24/7 at the moment. I have recently applied to some full time jobs, so that may update soon. In home the pets stay indoors unless needing to potty. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to roam and play. At times when we are out of the house the (dogs) would be on the covered back porch with water and full access to the fenced in yard.
“I’m so happy that I decided on Nontombe! :) I have booked with them 3x over the past few months, and am always happy with the turnout! They’re always thorough, communicative and friendly to my kitties! I’m sad to be moving out of state, because I’m sure most sitters won’t be able to compete with Nontombe!”
“All I can say is that Heather did an amazing job taking care of my moody but sweet Cali the Calico. She understood her attitude and gave her the space that she wanted. Heather is very sweet and trustworthy and I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with Cali. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Heather.”
About: Hi there, and thanks for checking out my profile! I’ve been on Rover for about a year and primarily take on housesitting roles or keep pets in my home, but I also have long term walking clients. I’m here because I genuinely love animals and have years of accumulated animal experience that really lends itself well to creating happy clients. I've had pets of all shapes and sizes since the 7th grade when I turned my dog into my science fair project (The Effect of Rewards on Dog Training). Since then, I've done obedience classes with one of my pups, worked with Australian Shepherd and Doberman rescue as a transporter and foster mom, and walked many miles with some cute pooches. I'm currently mom to one male cat, an Holland Lop, and one very typical male Golden Retriever. OH--and a seven year old human boy! I’m experienced in difficult animal behaviors such as separation anxiety and mild aggression towards other animals, potty training, medical emergencies (I am NOT clinically trained, but I’ve been through a lot of vet appointments between my pets and the rescues), and giving medication. I’m also a farmer and floral designer by trade, so I might covertly care for your houseplants as well. My work schedule is flexible, and I often work from home. I determine my own work schedule, so I can accommodate pet care most days and times. I’m very careful about not overcommitting myself, particularly when it comes to taking responsibility for other people’s pets. I offer in-home care for cat- and kid-friendly pups who get along well with other animals. Ollie the Golden Retriever will be sure to keep your dog well-entertained. He is 5 years old and still very "puppy," but ultimately, he’s a chill Golden to his core. The cat loves Ollie but are typically unimpressed by all other creatures. The rabbit rules the house.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for neighbors and friends while away or just for a drop in. I do love a soft little kitty, and totally understand the boundaries of a kitty who might be more on the shy side! I have a medically fragile dog and have had senior pets throughout my life, so I am aware of signs of distress or discomfort in animals and comfortable communicating that with owners and seeking help quickly.
“Jessica and Presby make a good pair! Jessica is loving with her, plays with her, feeds her well (including lots of treats!), and gives her the medicine she needs. We feel confident Presby is in good hands with Jessica. She is a jewel!”
About: I have had at least three cats in my household since I was born. I’ve played with and taken care of mine and my family friend’s cats for years. I have cat sit for up to three weeks on end. Distributed medicine and told owner if something seems off❤️
About: Though I grew up with both dogs and cats, as an adult I am 100% a cat lady now! I’ve had my best girl, Ophelia, for 5 years now and I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members cats over the years as well. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time (and precautions) to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for- whether they’re playful and energetic or quiet observers. And of course, I know cats deserve just as much attention as dogs!

“Sebastian and his family were so very kind—and my Jet had a great time with them!! We will definitely call on them for our Rover needs anytime we are visiting Columbia! Thanks for an awesome experience! ❤️”
“Gina was great with our senior dog while we attended a basketball game at USC. She was very responsive and even met us after the game so we could start our drive home sooner. She was responsive and took great care of our baby. Would definitely use again for dog sitting needs. Thanks Gina!”
“Shannon is wonderful! She sent me pictures and updates on how Mav was doing throughout the day. Maverick had so much fun and was exhausted afterwards. It was only his first time, but I know he can’t wait to go back!”
About: Hello y’all! I am very experienced in training dogs and caring for dogs, cats, and most other animals. I have a lot of knowledge about dog and cat health, along with other animals (reptiles, birds, horses, etc.), and different breeds. My prior amazing pittie, Bo Peep, was deaf. Thus, I know ASL commands and signs from training her myself. So, I am able to work well with other deaf/hard-of-hearing animals. I’ve been lucky enough to have and/or care for all sorts of animals throughout my entire life, especially growing up as a feral child (haha) in Florida. I always tried to bring animals home (often to my mom’s dismay), and I’ve worked with various animals (e.g. birds of all sizes, reptiles, cats and dogs especially, horses, amphibians, fish, and some other farm animals). I have no problem giving medication or following any medical-related plans. I work with pets of all ages. I look forward to meeting y’all! I am currently a therapist that works remotely from home, so I am able to be with fur babies in-between clients throughout the day to meet their needs. I am very active, so plenty of walks for pups! With dogs and cats, I try to provide them with as much mental stimulation that I can (and maybe a few treats).

“Jud and Nicole are great! Dexter stayed with them for a day and with the very first picture they sent us just a few minutes after we dropped him off, I could see how happy and comfortable he was with them. He also had lots of fun with his new friend Baxter. Now we can rest assured that our baby is in great hands when we go on a trip in a few weeks.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little. I’ve taken care of, feed played with and walked family and friends dogs and always made sure they were safe I’m currently not working so I have time to play and walk with your pups. I am able to board any day of the week at anytime! I do not have a fenced in yard but can assure you that your pups will be safe at all times. I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years now and have a pup and two cats of my own. Neighbors, friends and family members have all had me watch their furry friends for date nights, vacations or just for some playtime. I do have a dog park at my complex and walking trails so your pup will always have something fun to do. I am currently taking online classes which are very flexible so I’m able to pick when I’m online and when I’m able to be spending time with your pup! Although my yard is unfenced, I do have a dog park right next to me so we would go there for some playtime or on a discreet walking trail if dog parks aren’t your pups thing! All dogs will stay leashed while not fenced in. I have a one year old pup of my own to always keep your dog having fun!
“They are absolutely great! We are doing the day care, and the first night Comet (my super SUPER high energy dog) came home tired! He had all day to play and run around. They have a great space for the dogs. Highly recommend! They sent me updates and kept me informed as well.”
“Totally amazing! My dog can be slow to warm up to new people but she was able to make him feel comfortable and safe from the first day. I really appreciated the updates as well, would rebook any time I need a sitter.”
“Omgosh! Michelle was our hero the weekend of my nephews wedding! Newly relocated to the Charleston area, we knew no one to watch our pup while we went to Savannah for the wedding. We found Michelle in Savannah, and she was wonderful!! So sweet and loving to our 10year old poodle bichon, and he seemed to be comfortable with her and her place right away. If you're looking for the perfect dog sitter, look no further, Michelle is your gal.”

About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
“I am very impressed with Daniel! He and Bentley got along beautifully and Max proved to be a good doggie friend. Daniel has a very calm demeanor and sweet disposition- Bentley became attached immediately since he is rather calm. Daniel took exceptional care and responded quickly to my silly check-ins during the day. I highly recommend Daniel!”
“Lyndsay was great with our Luna. She was attentive to her needs and took great care of her. We highly recommend her and will use her services again. Her own pup, sweet Fox, is truly precious!”

About: Animals are special creatures who deserve special care and love. I've cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits since I was old enough to talk. Specifically, I've been hired by many friends, family, and friends of friends to pet sit as well as house sit! I am a kind and strong person who has most experience caring for dogs in all walks of life, including administering medication and special care to a large and elderly dog with blindness and cervical spondylomyelopathy (Wobbler Syndrome). I myself have 3 cat children (an inseparable brother-sister combo named Biscuits and Gravy, and an elderly cat named Feeny). I most enjoy caring for animals in their own homes/spaces where they can feel comfortable and keep their known routines. I have an intuitive approach to pets and a deep sense of integrity and honesty. I consider myself lucky to interact with as many beautiful pet children as I can! I have a very flexible and open schedule at the moment, so I am available for daytime, nighttime, weekends, as well as longer-term sitting, if required. I offer care in your own home to ensure your pet feels safe and has as little of break in routine as possible without their owners. I have the utmost integrity and honesty. I am a strong, astute, sensitive, and confident person who will care for your pet as my own.
About: I stand out as a pet sitter because I have experience with a wide range of breeds. I understand animal behavior well, so I provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. I work from home, which allows me ample time to care for your dogs. I am available for boarding both weekdays and weekends. First-Class Care for Four-Legged Guests!!!! “Because Your Pet Deserves Better Than Low‑Price Care.” We ensure your pet's safety throughout their stay and will provide photos upon request, as well as daily updates. We prioritize your pet's health and safety and are confident they will enjoy their time with us.
About: Let me look after your furry friends when you need assistance. I love all pets and will provide them with the attention and nurturing they deserve while you're away. Having been a pet owner of both dogs and cats for most of my life, I consider them part of the family. As such, I always ensure they receive affection and companionship while under my watch. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart; I understand their need for gentle attention and additional assistance, and I'm committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. I have a calm and patient personality that pets find easy to connect with, but I also make sure they follow your rules! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I am recently retired from education, and own my own business that allows me to work from home, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to taking care of your pets! I will happily take care of your pets in your home so their routines remain in place as much as possible. To ensure I know all the ins and outs of your pets needs and they meet me with you around first, I do request that we have a meet-and-greet before the first time I care for your pets.
“Took great care of my crazy girls while we went on vacation with our newborn!! Dogs really seemed to enjoy her presence and was very nice to not have to worry about them”
About: I have experience working in animal rescue, fostering, basic training, and complex medical maintenance for both dogs and cats. I have fostered over 100 dogs in ten years and owned two heart dogs and three beloved cats, all who had complicated medical conditions that required daily management. Pets are family to me and deserve the best care and consideration. I am currently on sabbatical and looking to fill my days with happy time with pets though walks, play, and just quality time. I’m available every day 11 am to 6 pm. Two days notice is required for both dog walking or dog check-in requests. I have a fenced in back yard and crates, along with dog safe toys, doggy gates, and non slip mats throughout the house for better traction for older dogs.

“We have absolutely loved having Jade walk our dogs! She is really understanding of their needs and works well with them. She’s highly communicative and I love getting the reports in the middle of the day. Definitely would recommend!”
“The best dog sitter I have ever had! My dog immediately loved her. She even got my dog to walk when she was scared by loud fireworks. I highly recommend Lakotah and hope to book her again in the future.”
About: Every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved so their time away from you feels as stress-free as possible. I am a remote freelancer who works my own schedule so I am completely flexible in my pet care schedule. Whether your fur-babies are independent kids who need only a daily walk, or they're needy lil' nellies who want to go potty umpteen times a day. I'm a reliable source for care. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, and personality to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. As a pet owner myself, I understand that some pets can be anxious, reactive, or take a little longer to warm up to new people. I'm patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet's individual needs, whether that means energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking closely to their routine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind through regular updates and photos.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life - from dogs of all breeds to guineas pigs and cats. Growing up, I eagerly took part in caring for them and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in pet care. I have also provided pet sitting/walking services to friends and family. Fun fact: I loved animals of all kinds so much as a child, that I became a vegetarian at 13 years old! And I have been one now for over 15 years! I have a very flexible schedule and more than happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences to ensure they are comfortable and cared for! When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize their safety, respect your space (and theirs), and strive to create a calm, trustworthy environment where your pets feel secure and loved.
About: My best friend of 15 years and her family have two wonderful dogs, a doodle and a lab who I have taken care of so many times. I even watched the doodle when she was just a few months old for about a week during a snow storm while her family was on vacation. They’re a handful but so much fun. I have also cat-sit for up to 3-weeks on end. Giving medicine, checking for packages, and updating if anything seems off. I am a graduate student with very flexible hours. I am happy to spend time with your pet while I study or just for personal therapy. I will make time for animals no matter what. I go above and beyond noting things like if the house temperature is uncomfortable for said pet. I keep them under constant supervision and won’t leave them alone for more than a few hours unless discussed otherwise. I am very thorough and will take extra time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe with a new person around them. I know what it takes to be patient with pets.
About: I’ve grown up around all types of pets and absolutely love all animals! We’ve had an array of animals in our house growing up such as a German shepherd, parakeets, love birds, hamsters, gerbils, hermit crabs, and Jack Russell terriers! I now own three dogs! We have a super sweet labrador, a frenchie, and a boxer-pit mix. We love taking our big dogs on hikes and out to socialize any chance we get! Daily walks and outside time are a must for our pups and we love every minute of it. I have experience with IVDD and surgeries to follow with my French Bulldog. With that being said, I have first hand experience with caring for a medically fragile animal, administering medications, and seeing signs of discomfort in animals. As a pet owner and lover I know the importance of making sure you have someone you trust with your animal babies! I’m transitioning from being in the classroom full time to substitute teaching once school starts back up. I am free for the summer and will have flexibility in my schedule, especially for afternoons and evenings. I take my own pups out for a walk at least twice a day morning and evening. They also have outside time at least 3-4 times a day for 20+ minutes. If you choose to have your pet board with us we have a full privacy fenced backyard.

“Sebastian was fantastic with our dog. He shared pics multiple times a day and gave us consistent updates. Our dog had a wonderful time and was well cared for while visiting. They have a very large fenced backyard that allows for zoomies and exploring. We will be using him again in the future.”
“We felt so comfortable that Gina was taking care of our lab while we were away. This was the first time we’d ever left our dog with anyone, and it was a fantastic experience!”
“Lucas was so welcoming and flexible with our plans changing last minute at both drop off and pickup. He was amazing with the dogs and we got so many photos and updates. It was clear he loves what he does and the dogs know it!! Would definitely book with him again next time I’m in town!”
“We love Lindsey and Aaron! They were so sweet to our boy and he had the greatest time! He was so tired after playing all weekend he wasn’t even excited to see us haha we will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks again guys!!”
“Katelyn and her daughter were amazing. I’m pretty sure this was the best time my dog has ever had at a dog sitter’s home. I got lots of pictures of Charlie being cuddled and he looked so happy ❤️. Katelyn was also super patient with us when our plane kept getting delayed. I would choose Katelyn to watch my dog again in a heartbeat!”
“Nontombe did an absolutely phenomenal job with our two dogs. This is my first experience using Rover and she represented well. My dogs loved her, and she kept us informed on a daily basis with pics and videos. Thank you so much Nontombe!”
“Sally is the best sitter I have ever had. There is nothing negative to say, only numerous positive comments, some of which include that: Lacie immediately took to Sally & now whines til I get her out of the car at her house, Sally knows the dogs very well so that she chooses which might be introduced with your permission (which has been great for my pet who interacts more with adults), Sally truly cares about the pets and lets me know how Lacie did (with many pictures) during the stay & individualizes activities and procedures to match your & your pet’s preferences/routines & needs. Thank you Sally! It’s good to know that Lacie is in good hands with you!”
“Eleftherios and Nicole were exceptional. They made my dog feel right at home. He has had issues with anxiety while staying at kennels, but he did great being in their home. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures throughout his stay! Thank you both so much!”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 2 dogs over the holiday weekend! They got lots of playtime and outside time, and they were both nice and tired by the time we picked them up! She sent a couple of pictures and a couple of updates. Just enough to let us know our dogs were doing well. One of my dogs is older with some arthritis, and she made sure he got all of his medicines and had a safe space to rest when he got tired out. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds of dogs for about 7-8 years now. Able to let out often, take on walks when needed and able to calm down at night! I have a full time job where I can work from home at anytime. Can let out any pet at any hour of the day! I have a fenced in back yard that’s about 5,000 square feet. My neighborhood is pretty flat as well so walks are easily doable for any pet!
About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I work from home full-time, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you're away. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is to make your pet's stay feel like a home away from home while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I'll be available all day to supervise and care for your pet. We'll enjoy playtime throughout the day, along with morning and evening walks, weather permitting. I have a fenced-in yard and a 6-year-old female American Staffy named Lilly. Lilly is very social and gets along great with other dogs and even cats.
“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Very friendly, lots of pics and updates, and most important... They were patient with my spoiled mutt. They were just as friendly as they were professional. Definitely recommend them in high esteem.”
“Assatta was very accommodating. She was very responsive interactive with our Demi! A very loving home and we felt at ease knowing Demi was in good hands. She sent pictures and kept us updated. I will be booking her every time she is available!”
“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.”
“This was my doggies third stay with Michael. As always, everything was great. My babies always have a great time when they stay with him. I can’t recommend him enough!!! Thanks for everything.”
