“I would 100% recommend Brenda. This was the first vacation that I have been on without Casey that I did not worry about him at all! He was having so much fun and getting so much attention that I felt like he was on vacation too. Brenda sent an update and pictures every day. She even bought him extra treats and gave him a bath! It's so nice knowing we have someone that treats Casey like we do. I would have never met Brenda without Rover. Thank you Rover!”

Thanks Ximena and Travis!!!!”

About: I also have experience caring for cats and understand that they each have their own personalities and routines. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them space when they need it. I’ve cared for cats in friends’ homes and always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after while their owners are away.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, having 9 pet dogs, 2 pet cats, 4 ducks, and 4 chickens. I love all animals and caring for them. I am a college soccer player so I love to be active, I am always taking my dogs for runs and walks! I would love to help out anyone in need of someone to watch their sweet pets! When I am home from school, (Dec/Jan/May/June/July) I am practically on my own schedule. I train soccer and workout on my own time, so during these months I am very available! Previously, when I am taking care of a pet at a client’s home I will ask the owner what they typically do for their pets during the day and try to replicate that as best as I can for the pets!

“Lauren was so great with our pups! She was able to help us on super short notice and still made time to come over a day prior for a meet and greet. She was punctual and provided pictures at each drop in. Would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all throughout my life. I’ve owned a dog for about 4 and a half years now. I’ve also owned two cats but was slightly allergic, but I am more than willing to take care of them too. Animals have had such a huge impact on my life. I work full time right now but am free most evenings and weekends! I would love to help anyone out that needs help caring for their pet because I’ve been in that situation myself. I have a fenced in yard and I don’t crate my dog. I am willing to crate my client’s dog if needed, walk them, or bathe them too!
“Thank you o much, Melanie is the best ever. She not only took care of my baby but she stay with him a little longer then she had to, to make sure he was ok when she realized he was a little upset and anxious. I will be call Melanie again the next time I’m out of town.”
About: I've volunteered at a shelter with cats as well as rescued lost/feral. I offer drop in visits or boarding at my house. I will clean the litter box, refill food and water dish and play comfort your cats while you are away. I will regularly send you pictures and updates so that you don't have to worry about their well being.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, detail-oriented cat lover who genuinely enjoys creating a calm and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I currently have three cats - all with very different personalities. One very anxious and shy (especially with sitters) - but this is the reason I know how taxing pet boarding can be on cats. One with special dietary needs. And another who is very outgoing and playful - one-on-one attention and playtime with her is so important to her well-being. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat's personality and making sure their needs are met (as well as yours as a cat owner!) I know every cat has a different personality and comfort level, whether they’re playful and social or shy and independent. I’m happy to work at their pace and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and relaxed in their own home and routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication reminders, mail collection, plant care, and overnight house sitting if needed. I also know how important communication is when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates and photos for peace of mind. Outside of pet sitting, I come from a background in customer service and public relations, which has made me very organized, communicative, and attentive to details. I’m currently looking to build long-term relationships with local clients and would love to help make travel or busy schedules less stressful for both you and your cats!
About: My family were presidents of a border collie rescue. I've had over a thousand dog of all shapes and sizes come through my home and currently I own one dog and my parents own 3 dogs, 4 bunnies, and many reptiles. I've had animals in my life all my life I own a dog. So pet care is a daily task of my life. I love taking my dog to the park and long hikes and I've always had a real love for animals as a whole. My dog is super alllergenic so I've had dogs that require medications every few hours. I would say being on top of meds and consistency is always a top goal. Making sure they aren't having symptoms and daily exercise and play time is a priority as just like us dogs can become depressed cooped up. I have a large suv so taking dogs on rides of any size or multiple is no issue for me. hiking and exploring is always a fun time for me and my puppy and I hope to share it with yours.
About: I have raised two puppies and have been a pet owner all my life! I live right next to a dog park and a lake and love to go on walks! I’m a recent graduate so don’t have any classes and can devote all time to loving and caring for your pet! My daily or weekly routine can be adjusted to fit the needed schedule of a given pet! I am a student with online only classes. I pay attention to details, am loving, nurturing, and flexible to cater to the needs of each pet. I have a low traffic living space making it easy for animals to keep low levels of stress and high levels of safety.

I also am certified in dog handling and working in a daycare environment. Now I work for a local mobile grooming company ! I have been petsitting for the past several years and am currently trying to start up and operate my own business. Animals are my passion and my family ❤️ With me I can assure you’ll have pictures and updates! During go home times either I or Jacob will be there to see you off! Sometimes as life is hectic he takes over the go homes so you can be reunited with your best friend as quickly as possible and so it’s more convenient on you!

Don’t fret while all the dogs are out together they will be under supervision to make sure that no disagreements happen! Safety comes first then of course cuddles and play! We do have various farm animals as we are making our own little homestead to be more self sufficient. All dogs are heavily monitored to protect the safety of all animals and hasn’t been a issue but just so we can make you aware before dropping off.
“Marissa was excellent with our two kittens! She was able to meet us beforehand to get the key, to meet the kittens, and to learn about their needs. The kittens seemed to warm up to her quickly. She played with them and a highlight of the vacation I was on (hence the need for a pet sitter) was the photos and the detailed updates that Marissa would send! She was fantastic and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using her for all your pet needs!”
“My sitter cancelled on me last minute, which left me in a bind and worried that i could not find another sitter, Rover and Tabetha came through in a pinch. My dog is a high-energy 2 year old untrained Pit/ lab mix. I have a hard time handling him myself, so i was worried about it being a match. We also had some other last minute things which were already planned and Tabetha went out of her way to make sure she met and could work with my dog. She went above and beyond by training him as well as cleaning up after him and making sure he got plenty of exercise while we were gone! Thank you to Rover for helping us find an amazing sitter and to Tabetha for taking such good care of our dog!”
“Erin was awesome!!!! She took such great care of our animals and was very communicative! She went above and beyond to make my animals feel safe and loved while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’m different from other cat sitters because I don’t just “check in” on cats—I take the time to truly care for them. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routines, and boundaries, and I respect all of it. Whether your cat is playful, shy, anxious, or a total diva, I move at their pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and litter habits, give genuine affection (when welcomed), and always prioritize a calm, clean environment. To me, cat sitting isn’t just a job—it’s building trust with your cat and peace of mind for you. 🐾
About: My free time is spent at the animal shelter helping socialize kittens, adult and senior cats, helping gather information to update adoption posts. (you may have guessed this already, but yes I did fall in love and adopt one of course). I have multiple families I catsit for regularly. One of the family's has three cats, and the others have 6, the more the merrier!
About: I come from a family that has always had dogs. As soon as I was able my parents taught me to care for them. Today my wife and I have 3 dogs of our own, and provide weekly care for two neighbors. I’m currently self employed which allows me the flexibility to make my schedule work for you and your pup. I’m an honest broker who will always be there for your dog. I’m an honest broker, not an airline, I don’t overbook myself. If I make a commitment to your dog, I’ll be there. I have a fenced in yard, and if desired a dog friendly pup to play with yours. I love long walks around the nearby parks, and a good game of fetch.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and started dog sitting at a young age. I currently have 2 dogs and would gladly welcome your pet into the mix. I feel that dogs truly are our best friends so you can rest assured they will be well taken care of when they're with me. I've watched puppies, seniors and I've even watched a dog that just got out of surgery. I freelance as a photographer and I spend part of my day editing which means plenty of time with your dog! I will make sure your pet gets lots of attention and play time. I walk the dogs daily and have a TON of toys. I have 2 dogs that can play with and keep your dog company. I have crates if needed as well. Dogs will be leashed in my yard at all times but I have parks near by to make sure they get exercise.
About: We have over 40 years of experience. We've had dogs our whole lives growing up. We have an eight -year-old 10 pound male Yorky & a two-year-old 90 pound male Bernese Mountain dog, both very loving. We have a big backyard with a fence. 2 1/2 acres of woods with trails to play in & for fun walks. My 4 kids even love dogs! Our dogs are like our kids. Every pet we had has a special place in our hearts. I am partly remote worker. My husband and young children are home all day. We have no problem with scheduling. We only require 24 hours notice. We have a big kitchen and dining room open space. We have a big backyard. The backyard is completely fenced in. We have a big dog crate depending on the dogs preference how to sleep.
“I was very happy with the care Sam received. Brenda is very patient and knowledgeable. Sam was very shy and she worked with that. He loved running with her. Her daughter was amazing with him. He followed her everywhere. He also got along with Brenda’s pets. I have already booked her again.”
About: I currently have 4 husky pups that are very well socialized and would love more friends to play with. I also work with rescue groups to help pups in need. I have never met a pup I didn’t love! I currently work from home. Your pet will hardly be in a create and will be treated just like one of mine. Many potty breaks throughout the day. I often get on the floor and play so they know I am part of the pack. Toys? Well let’s just say there is not a shortage of toys in the house. Every room we visit has a “toy box”. Treats? No shortage of those here either but, I like to make them earn them - like enforcing commands they already know and rewarding them for going potty. I have almost a half acre with a fully fenced in back yard. Your pet will go out multiple times a day. I also foster and rescue pups so I am very good with socializing new pups with mine. They have previously lived with smaller pups such as a Jack Russell and Yorkie and they loved them to pieces. They also attend “daycare” and “overnight camp” in order to keep them socialized. I also feel like meet and greets are important to ensure your pup(s) interact well with mine. Safety is my number one concern. As I have stated mine are well socialized and I want nothing more to help others socialize theirs as well. Safety is a top priority in my home. I do accept puppies you well you just need to message me separately is we can discuss. My yard is fully fenced in and almost a 1/2 acre. I stop my work day to play fetch it for them for about an hour.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over a decade. I have owned and been around multiple breeds including some less known ones such as African Bensenji, Newfoundland, and Shiba Inu. I currently own a Newfoundland and standard size Goldendoodle. We also have a turtle, snake, and cat. You can rest assured that in my home your pet will be well cared for. I work from home so I am home all day and that enables me to appropriately take care of your pet so be assured that they will receive the attention they need. I have a fenced kennel area, I live on 3 acres, and I have 2 friendly dogs that love playtime. Pets will be indoor and will spend time outside playing. I will provide regular potty breaks
“Douglas was amazing. I struggled leaving Kona with a complete stranger but she did well and had fun playing with Luna. I also appreciated all the pictures and updates. Kona is my baby girl and he took very good care of her. I will use again.”

“Luiza took amazing care of my pup. She clearly made Zoey’s care and well being a priority . I felt very confident and safe leaving Zoey with her and will certainly contact her again if we are in the area .”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”
About: We are a family of 4 (counting our dog Pepper). I work from home so your dog won’t be alone. I grew up always having a pet to take care of; cats, hamsters and many dogs of different breeds. We have a 16 yr old mini schnauzer that is a little sassy but always friendly with dogs, cats and humans. Dogs are part of our family, they will be allowed in couch to snuggle with us while watching tv and we’ll also spend time outside. We have a fenced yard and we live across a park, I will take your dog for a walk at least twice a day. Your dog will feel loved and safe in our home while you are gone. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are very flexible with our time. I work from home so Pepper and I will have an extra friend to keep us company during the day.

“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: 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.

My House Is Ready To Receive Doggies With Plenty Of Toys And Places To Lounge. I Have A Fully Fenced Yard Where They Can Run And Play As They Need. Currently in between jobs so available any day for day care or boarding. I am in the house most of the day and love to be on my front porch watching my dog in the yard.

My office is the doggies bedroom as well where I have my dog’s crate (she only spends the night in her crate) and an extra crate for small/medium dog.

“I cannot say enough about this wonderful lady! Friendly and flexible, my dog and my work schedule loved her. And when I had a family emergency, she allowed me to schedule a boarding on very short notice. If I'm ever in the area again, I will certainly be looking her up.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences the owner provides. I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.

About: Since age 4 I've had an animal in my home. I've brought home so many of our family pets over the years basically off of the streets. I cared for them faithfully and lovingly until they crossed that rainbow bridge. Animals are naturally drawn to me and I have several tips and tricks to get your fur baby comfortable and content by the end of our visit. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. Every morning I wake up between 5 and 6 every day and begin feeding and caring for my pets at home. I feed and water 2-3 times daily. I do walks and play time and of course cuddles and pets. I will treat them as if they were my own fur babies, with love and compassion.
About: I have owned/cared for cats for as long as I can remember. I am currently an owner of 3 cats and 1 dog and have tons of experience caring for cats/dogs of family and friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the attention/affection they need. I have experience with exercising, feeding, giving medication, and administering first aid to pets. I am a stay-at-home husband (and soon to be father) so my schedule is extremely flexible and I have reliable transportation. I’m available weekends and weekdays including evenings. My own pup is high energy/high anxiety (but he absolutely loves other dogs!) so I can understand that every pet has individualized needs. I am happy to work with any owner on a case by case basis to determine what works best for their pet. I can do home visits or could potentially house pets at my residence. We have a large backyard sitting on about 8 acres of land. Dogs love it here!

About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!! I'm currently volunteering part-time which allows me a more flexible schedule which in turn makes it easier to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!! Every one of our beloved pets are different with wonderful, unique personalities of their own! I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore! I love & care for each of your furry family members as If they are my own, & as a pet parent myself, I know the importance of having peace of mind by trusting that they are safe and in good hands when you are away! It is my promise that by the end of every visit, walk, overnight stay, etc....that your pet will feel Happy, Healthy, Full, Loved, & worn out from Fun!!!!!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all throughout my life. I’ve owned a dog for about 4 and a half years now. I’ve also owned two cats but was slightly allergic, but I am more than willing to take care of them too. Animals have had such a huge impact on my life. I work full time right now but am free most evenings and weekends! I would love to help anyone out that needs help caring for their pet because I’ve been in that situation myself. I have a fenced in yard and I don’t crate my dog. I am willing to crate my client’s dog if needed, walk them, or bathe them too!
“I am so happy to have found Melanie. She is a true dog lover and took amazing care of my dogs. She is a wonderful, warm-hearted , extra special person that gave my pets so much love and special attention! She always kept me informed of their activities! I definitely recommend her!”
About: We are a family of 4 (counting our dog Pepper). I work from home so your dog won’t be alone. I grew up always having a pet to take care of; cats, hamsters and many dogs of different breeds. We have a 16 yr old mini schnauzer that is a little sassy but always friendly with dogs, cats and humans. Dogs are part of our family, they will be allowed in couch to snuggle with us while watching tv and we’ll also spend time outside. We have a fenced yard and we live across a park, I will take your dog for a walk at least twice a day. Your dog will feel loved and safe in our home while you are gone. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are very flexible with our time. I work from home so Pepper and I will have an extra friend to keep us company during the day. We go outside several times during the day. We do not have a fence, however I take Pepper on walks on the leash very often. Your dog can sleep on its bed, we also have an extra bed.
About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs/cat/other furry creatures my whole life. I am excited to help care for yours. I have also handled dogs with various behaviors/needs. I currently work full-time as a dietitian at a hospital but am usually pretty free on the weekends and I get off at a decent time so I am able to do an evening walk or drop in on your fur baby in the evening as well if needed! My dog, Axel, is very spoiled as he sleeps in bed with us and he gets daily cuddles. He enjoys going outside so he gets plenty of walks when it is not too hot out but on the minimum, he walks twice a day every day. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and will spoil them as much as you allow me to!

About: I have raised two puppies and have been a pet owner all my life! I live right next to a dog park and a lake and love to go on walks! I’m a recent graduate so don’t have any classes and can devote all time to loving and caring for your pet! My daily or weekly routine can be adjusted to fit the needed schedule of a given pet! I am a student with online only classes. I pay attention to details, am loving, nurturing, and flexible to cater to the needs of each pet. I have a low traffic living space making it easy for animals to keep low levels of stress and high levels of safety.
About: I live in a I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. From learning their quirky habits to keeping their routines steady, I treat every furry guest like my own. I focus on creating a calm, cozy, and genuinely loving environment, so your pet feels safe, understood, and totally at ease. With consistent communication, personalised care, and a whole lot of heart, I make sure your pet’s stay isn’t just stress-free—it’s something they actually enjoy. Pet care is naturally set into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, play time, and check-ins to ensure every pet gets consistent care. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to exercise, enrichment, and cuddles, while afternoons include potty breaks, supervision, and rest time. My schedule is flexible and intentionally designed so I can give every animal the attention, and time they deserve. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, supervised, and comforting environment set to their needs. I maintain clean spaces, provide cozy rest areas, and offer play time. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and preferred activities, so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine uninterrupted. I handle feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and any specific instructions exactly as provided. I also respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on communication, safety, and reliable, compassionate care that helps pets feel calm, comfortable, and understood.
“This was my first experience using Rover, as our normal dog walker was unavailable this week. I was very pleased! Grace’s communication was excellent. She always responded very quickly. She gave a detailed summary of her visit and many photos! I could tell my pup was well cared for on her walks. My 17 year old cat also got some love too! I highly recommend Grace! I hope to use her again!”

“I would 100% recommend Brenda. This was the first vacation that I have been on without Casey that I did not worry about him at all! He was having so much fun and getting so much attention that I felt like he was on vacation too. Brenda sent an update and pictures every day. She even bought him extra treats and gave him a bath! It's so nice knowing we have someone that treats Casey like we do. I would have never met Brenda without Rover. Thank you Rover!”

I highly recommend crissy care 5 stars ⭐️”
