“Shonta provided excellent care for my Onyx! I had recently started a new job and needed someone to care for him. She sent several updates and he looked happy and content in her home. I will definitely call on her for my future needs.”
“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”
“Sally went for 2 1/2 days. She was happy when she got there. She was let outside in the fenced yard and immediately started to investigate the yard without looking back at me... That says a lot that Sally felt comfortable there. Thank you.”
“Milo was well taken care of during his stay over the holidays; Mr.keith was professional from the start, asking in-depth questions about Milo's routine, potty breaks, feeding schedule, I could tell Milo bonded with Mr.keith and the family and thoroughly enjoyed himself playing with the other dogs from the updates I received, I highly recommend this sitter!”
“Raquel was kind enough to take my dog at the last minute and gracious enough to agree to a meet and greet beforehand. She took great care of my baby and I am forever grateful! I would definitely recommend her services.”
“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 :)”
“The absolute best with Jackson, he loves them. I’m definitely using them again, very responsive, sends lots of pictures and updates on Jackson. Jackson had a little bathroom accident and they washed him. Thanks again! Jackson will see you soon.”
“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!”
“Evelyn was an INCREDIBLE host! She kept us updated daily with pictures and videos of our sweet Sunny and was so easy to communicate with. We felt safe having Sunny with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“OMG words cannot describe how wonderful Nontombe cared for our baby, Diamond, during our vacation. She provided loving care and provided photos of Diamond’s daily activities. We will highly recommend Nontomb! She is now Diamond’s sitter when we are out of town.”
“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”
“Callie really, really enjoyed her vacation with these folks. It was her first time away and Nicole’s children treated her as their own. Great experience, thanks”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about it, but all my fears were gone once I met Whitney. She was very kind and send me multiple pictures of my baby Cooper. Her dogs were very cute and sweet too. I would reccomend her to anyone.”
“Orlena. Was amazing with our two year old mini poodle. She kept plenty of videos and pictures coming. She is such a sweetheart. We already spoke with her in regards to another booking.”
“If you're looking for a sitter for your pet, you won't find any better than Leigh. She takes really good care of my dog every time. My pup is always happy to stay with Leigh and sad to leave. He loves the playtime with the other dogs. Something he cant get at home.”
“We had a great experience with Kyra and her family. Our dog was well cared for, happy, and clearly loved during his stay. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“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. 😊”
“Shay was great, very welcoming and comforting to us as it was our first time using Rover. She sent us pictures of our Peanie playing with friends and having a good time.”

“Samantha has continued to do an amazing job caring for my cats, Chester and Binoo. She keeps me updated with photos, makes sure their food and water is good, and keeps their litter boxes and surrounding area clean. Knowing they're receiving such thoughtful care has given me so much peace of mind while we're away. I truly appreciate her reliability, communication, and the genuine care she shows my pets. I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Kayla was fabulous! My cat Goose absolutely loved Kayla, which says a lot because Goose can be sassy. Kayla was so easy to work with, made sure Goose always had food, water and her litter box taken care of. She also sent the best pictures of Goose!”
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!
“Lisa is a fantastic pet sitter! Her genuine love for animals is evident in the care she provides. She went above and beyond to ensure my cats and my house were well looked after, just as if they were her own. I felt comfortable knowing they were in such capable hands. The fact that she lives nearby is an added bonus, making her even more convenient. I highly recommend Lisa's services!”
“Amanda was exceptional! She took phenomenal care of our cats while we were gone for the week and she was great at communication with us. We will gladly book with her again in the future. It was a relief to know our cats were well taken care of!”
“Ashley helped me immensely by keeping an eye on my cats while I was out of town! She is highly dependable and personable, and she maintains great communication. She treated my cats as if they were her own, couldn’t ask for better care! Will 100% request for her help again if the need arises in the future!”
About: When it comes to family pets, from tiny little munchkin cat breed all the way to Irish Wolfhound, they all deserve the love and respect as a extended family member (or sometime even as our own fur baby). Being raised around Chows and Aussie Shepards, I have experience in both “aggressive” and friendly breeds. A critter is only as bad as the owner. As long as there is at least 24-48hr notification, I’m a pretty flexible person. Seven days a week I’d be available to drop in and say hi, play a little, feed and do potty breaks. Clean as I go to include litter boxes. If being asked to stay overnight, it would be at your location for the best comfort of the animal. My house is a fenced in yard. We typically, based on weather, have my pups run outside once very 2/3 hours. Outside of that, we do regular walks up to 2 miles at least twice a week (again, based on weather). We play games like catch and hidden treat games for enrichment. For the family cat, he is currently maintained by one of my kids but, we allow him free roam and sometimes trips outside on a leash. He has a XXL dog kennel that we will set up when we are outside and he wants to join us to ensure he is bird safe. He very much likes to be a window watcher and enjoys the squirrels a little more than my dogs.
“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!”
“I feel like we picked a wonderful and trustworthy person to house sit for us. She was on time, communicated with us during her stay and is just a really nice peron. We are repeat customers!”
“Susannah did a wonderful job! She administered meds and sent the absolute best photos! As well, I can tell she did a great job with my kitty as Belle didn’t pout when I returned. Instead she was ready to cuddle and play like normal!”
About: I currently provide pet care service, including dog walking, check ins, etc.. I love animals of all kinds and have experience with a variety of different pets! I own two dogs myself, have owned two cats and have several dogs I walk per week. I enjoy walking and exercising dogs and playing with pets. I worked at animal shelter for almost a year so I understand how to apply and give meds. I understand that caring for your pets includes love and attention. I really appreciate you for taking the time to look over my profile and considering me to take care of your pet. Thank you! This is currently my full time job so I will have time any time of the day before 4 to take care of your fur baby’s! I feed my dogs twice a day walk them for about 3 miles to get their exercise in. These dogs are my children so I love them very much and want them to live the best life that they can. And I will take care of your baby’s as my own!
“We are very happy and thankful with Abigail. From caring for their needs to ensuring the boxes were cleaned and tidy. Came home to my babies and they are as happy as before. We will definitely seek out Abigail in the future. She is great.”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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 .”
“My husband and I had to take a long day trip to house hunt and needed someone to watch our 11 week old puppy while we were gone. Daisy will be our go-to forever now! She treated Rookie like her own, giving him love, treats, respecting how we were training him, and kept us updated throughout the day. I was worried about leaving my puppy and having him regress, but he thrived there and didn’t have one accident! I know this is due to Daisy being attentive and so kind. It was also a dreary, rainy, muddy day and she just embraced it and let the dogs have fun too. My pup and her pup had a blast. Can’t wait to Rookie to spend time with Daisy 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: 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.
“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.”
“Isabella and her family are so nice and pleasant. They send pictures and keep me updated with Jett’s activities during the day. He gets excited when I mention her name which is a good sign.”

“We left two our two Australian Shepherd mixes with Paola for the day while attending a family reunion from out of town and were happy with their care. The dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed relaxing in her comfy air conditioned home on a hot day. She sent photos and sent them home with cute report pages about their adventures.”

She is our baby and spoiled through and through and gets along with other dogs and cats. :) We provide leashes and clean up bags unless requested otherwise.

About: I’ve always been around dogs. Since I was born until now! Its ranged from doberman, beagle, to now german Shepard. Im qualified to care for any dog no matter the size! I work full time currently BUT I do work from home so I would not mind a little friend by my side! I’ll make sure they’re fed and with enough water. We can schedule walks since I also need some breaks throughout the day! My yard is not fenced yet. I have one cat! so it will be me, Hallee and your cute pup!(and maybe a friend sometimes). I do not mind going out with them for a walk(s) throughout the day at all! I would love to have your dog get all the sniffs he can get from the neighborhood!(safely of course!)
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: I have loved and cared for pets since I was a small child. My love for fur babies started with my first pet, a boxer mix named Apollo. My parents recognized my affinity for caring for animals and quickly grew our family by adding a Guinea pig, several frogs, and a cat. In 6th grade I joined the school animal club where I learned about and cared for fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and even a snake. Throughout my childhood and into my teens it was not uncommon for me to bring home lost or injured animals I’d find in my neighborhood. My mom thought I’d grow out of this “habit,” as she called it, but she was wrong. Now that I’m an adult I have a spoiled pup who eats better than some animals, and on the few occasions when I’ve encountered stray cats and dogs I didn’t hesitate bringing them home for fresh food, water, and TLC before trying to locate the owners. My family lovingly refers to me as the “dog whisperer” because of how good I am with them. While I somewhat disagree with that title, I definitely feel that my passion for animals helps me understand and care for them with love. I am available for boarding 7 days a week as long as I have at least 3 days notice. I am also available in the evenings and on weekends to walk and play with your fur child. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly chorkie (chihuahua and yorkie mix) to play with. I also am able to crate your dog if you provide the crate. I do have one small crate that can be rented for an additional cost.
About: i have years of experience participating in ffa, which gave me the opportunity to work with farm animals such as pigs, sheep, and rabbits. i have worked as a dog bather at Pet Paradise, a dog boarding facility in columbia for a little over a year and love it! i have plenty of years of experience for caring and having responsibilities of all kinds of animals. i currently work part time, mornings at pet paradise resort. i am available any time after 3 pm to play with and/or take care of your animals. for boarding, i have a fenced yard with 2 very friendly little dogs! owners of the house have requested animals either be outside while i’m at work or kept in a crate provided by owner, only until i am home!
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!

“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'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 grown up with dogs in my household, and am very familiar with cats as well.

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 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!

About: Other than growing up with numerous pets my whole life, I have had a lot of pet care experience over the past years for families around my community that rely on me when they are away.

I am able and comfortable with feeding your pets, taking them on walks, and playing with them. I do my best to stick to their routine that is provided to me and will respect the animals space and boundaries as well as your home.
“Angela has been a great addition to my dog’s daily routine. She has always shown up on time and taken Duke for his mile long outing. She obviously cares deeply for animals. If you hire her, your furry friend will be well taken care of.”
About: For over 6 years I've been working in the pet care industry. From 2019-2023 I worked in the dog daycare and boarding business, first as a kennel tech at Central Park Dog Daycare in Oklahoma City, then for almost 3 years at Peachtree Pets in Georgia, where I worked as a kennel manager. During my time as a kennel tech, I received well over 100 hours of training in dog behavior from multiple sources. I have administered medications of all kinds, including insulin, to dogs of all behavior types. From 2023-2025 I worked at Hollywood Feed, where I took their extensive dog and cat nutrition training and sold organic, holistically sourced dog and cat food. From them, I learned the importance of feeding high quality food. Now, my dogs eat better food than I do, but they've never been healthier! I have two dogs of my own, who are my pride and joy. They're happy, spoiled, and have a great bond despite all their differences. Right now I'm mainly working from home as an artist. I plan to begin selling my work at street fairs, but those events only last a few hours on a couple days of the week, so overall, my schedule is currently, completely open and workable. I am completely open to spending as much time with your pet as you'd like me to, whether I'm hanging out with them for several hours each day, or only taking them out to potty briefly, it's totally up to the pet's comfort and your own needs. I've taken care of hundreds of dogs, each with their own specific personality and needs, and am prepared and excited to care for many more.
“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.”
“This was my first time using the recurring service feature and Dominic is so great. I feel good knowing Sam is safe and taken care of. She was even kind enough to bring some packages inside that had been left by the door. Great communication as well and very reliable.”
About: I currently provide pet care service, including dog walking, check ins, etc.. I love animals of all kinds and have experience with a variety of different pets! I own two dogs myself, have owned two cats and have several dogs I walk per week. I enjoy walking and exercising dogs and playing with pets. I worked at animal shelter for almost a year so I understand how to apply and give meds. I understand that caring for your pets includes love and attention. I really appreciate you for taking the time to look over my profile and considering me to take care of your pet. Thank you! This is currently my full time job so I will have time any time of the day before 4 to take care of your fur baby’s! I feed my dogs twice a day walk them for about 3 miles to get their exercise in. These dogs are my children so I love them very much and want them to live the best life that they can. And I will take care of your baby’s as my own!

“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”

“If you're looking for a sitter for your pet, you won't find any better than Leigh. She takes really good care of my dog every time. My pup is always happy to stay with Leigh and sad to leave. He loves the playtime with the other dogs. Something he cant get at home.”
“We had a great experience with Kyra and her family. Our dog was well cared for, happy, and clearly loved during his stay. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“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. 😊”

Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”
