“Alyson took great care of my goldendoodle, Rocket for 8 days while I was out of town. I received daily pictures and felt very reassured he was well taken care of.

He genuinely seems to care for the animals he watches and treats them as guests in his home. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was so wonderful!! I am beyond grateful for her and her family. She took regular pictures and sent me updates throughout his stay. They snuggled and loved on our “baby” just as we would have, and he was so much happier with Hannah and her family then he ever was anywhere else!!”
“Carola is such a wonderful pet sitter!! She takes such good care of my Susie; she sends me daily photos & updates & I never have to worry about Susie’s well being. Carola is a blessing to our family 😊”
“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”
“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“Love that we have someone we can trust with our fur baby! Cassandra is so good with our Pepper who is always so excited to see her. Cassandra was even great about being flexible with time for us. 💯 recommend her!”
“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”

“Thom was the absolute BEST dog sitter I have ever had. And I have been using rover for years! He sent me frequent pictures, videos, and updates of my girl while she was there. He took amazing care of her and handled her high energy so well! He is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and so kind. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my girl with a new sitter. I recommend him to everyone!”

“Sam did a great job with our babies. She is very prompt, dependable, and communicated very well, including pictures, to update us while we were out of town. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their precious pets 😁.”
About: Own 3 cats myself. Have experience with kittens through senior ages. Experienced in recognizing health concerns and issues with them. Also experienced in recognizing behavioral aspects such as fear and anger and will do my best to make your cat comfortable!
“Alyson is an attentive and caring sitter going above and beyond. During her stay my cat had an emergency medical issue that Alyson was able to not only take her to the emergency vet for but then made sure she received her medications as prescribed. I was initially worried but I knew Alyson was taking such good care of her and she kept me up to date on how she was doing. Thank you Alyson for going above and beyond and keeping my cat safe and cared for.”
“Amanda was amazing from the first meeting to the end of my vacation. Communication (pics included) was great. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions and share concerns. My boy Lotus is a scaredy-cat and quite shy but he took to Amanda day one. I felt very confident my babies were very well cared for while I was away. Great relief knowing I didn’t have to worry about them and could focus on fun.”
“Ken did a great job for our kitty, Ziggy. He was prompt, caring, and very thoughtful. Also, Ziggy took immediately to him -- he had a great time with Ken. Ken is on our "call list" for care for Ziggy.”
“McKinley is great....a very nice young lady! I got to meet her for this first time and she met my kitty boo. She was very sensitive to both my quirky cat and me! I knew he (Seven) would be in good hands! I am very particular and McKinley is too! She feels like the perfect fit for us! Her experience shows, probably because she has several animals of her own (dogs and cat) and is a vet assistant. I'm looking forward to using her again. If you need someone who will "get it" with your pet, you need to reach out to her! Thank you McKinley!”
“Megan is quick to respond. She took great care of my kitty’s while we were out of town. I completely trusted and felt comfortable with Megan in our home while we were gone. I definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Kristy is amazing! Great pet sitter and our cat adores her! This was our first time leaving our cat at home for a short trip away and Kristy relieved all of our worries about it. She played with our cat during drop-ins and gave her tons of love. Highly, highly recommended pet sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover with hands-on care experience for dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and care needs, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks and playtime for energetic dogs or caring for cats with different temperaments I’m comfortable working with all kinds of animals. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet like family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I have open availability because I work from home! I can help during the day while you are at work, in the morning or evenings, or even on weekends and holidays! I have a genuine passion for caring for animals of all kinds — big or small. I’m committed to providing attentive, dependable care while making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s long walks and playtime for energetic dogs or cozy cuddle sessions with cats I always go the extra mile to keep pets happy and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I adore my cat, Maple! I have made it my #1 priority to give her the best life possible. I would want my girl to have the best care available while I’m away, you should too! I have experience taking care of kittens and adult cats. Both deserve to be played with and loved!
“Kristen was great! Unfortunately my little Lilly didn’t want to make an appearance and hid the whole time, but I was thankful to have Kristen check in on her to make sure she was ok!”
About: My names Tarron W, I’m 26 years old and a mother to a sweet six year old little girl, and excited to help care for your fur babies! I have experience with big and small dogs I know ow important it is for your fuzzy family members to be taken care of while you’re occupied while do have to do necessary life activities such as work. I look forward to helping you with your needs. In my work experience I’ve been responsible for young children and the elderly. I have known and learned a lot with these experiences but I also have such a love for animals and decided to branch out, I have a cat and dog of my own both of which are animal friendly I currently live in a townhouse we do not have a fenced in yard but do have lots of grass and a dog parks just a short walk from our door step.
About: This is from a few years ago now, but everything still applies! I’ve been doing Rover for about 6 years, and watching people’s pets for over 10 years now. Hey there! My name is Abby, I am 30-years young and I absolutely adore all animals!!! My father is a self- proclaimed dog whisperer that is amazing with pets, and he taught me how to safely and successfully interact with dogs at a young age. Since I was a wee one, I have always had a natural ability with pets; they generally tend to be fond of me, dogs especially. I have had ample practice and training, with a wide variety of dogs over that past few years. I have been watching pets for eight years now! From the ages 22 -26, I worked at a school for at-risk girls. There all the faculty members seemed to have pets, and take all these trips! No one there had a reliable pet-sitter, for when they were out of town, so those families were forced to board their pets. So I’m talking to the school nurse one day, she’s newly single & has finished plans to start traveling the world. But she owns Harley, the yellow lab, who has recently aged immensely and is no longer well when boarded anymore. And There I was waiting & beyond ready to start my side-business as a dog-sitter. Harley, became my first client and more so my buddy, I watched him for 1 to 2 week periods, frequently, over the next 3 years. Then, the other staff members began to use my services, also. I had around 5-6 dogs that I would take care of on a regular basis. Whether that meant staying with them at their house, walking them multiple times a day, playing, and anything else that needed to be done! I have been doing Rover for almost two years, now, and am extremely confident in my skills! I look forward to any and all new clients. Feel free to ask me any questions and concerns any time! Abby Morgan Pet care fits so well into my routine, since this is my main source of income right now! I can easily spend as much time needed and wanted with your pet! I strive to care for each pet as if they were my own, so I enjoy fitting this into my routine. Feel free to ask me any questions! I treat pets like they are all my children! Every pet I watch earns a special place in my heart! I try to keep pets on their schedules- whatever they must be! Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf! I currently work PRN as a CNA, which means I pick up shifts when I want to work. This allows me to be able to work around that schedule easily. I care for pets as if they were my own fur baby. I follow common safety practices while caring for animals- keeping them on leash, avoiding other pets during walks, etc. I am extremely vigilant of my surroundings at all times and try to prevent anything bad from happening by using my intuition and common sense.

“Alyson is very accommodating. She responded immediately on my first message. After dropping our dog to her she updates me from time to time. She’s also very understanding coz we picked our dog late. I might use her again in the future in case we need someone to look after our baby. Thank you so much Alyson. ?”
“Ken took great care of my puppy when I needed to come in from out of town to attend a memorial service. He gave her lots of exercise which is what she needed between 2 long road trips.”
“Alexa was wonderful! She was great to communicate with and answered all of m questions! She took wonderful care of Rae and we love her and would definitely book again!”
About: Hello! My name is Kelley and I have lots of furry children. I have four Siberian Huskies and a Shiba Inu and they make life fun and adventurous! I have experience working with cats and dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have experience caring for rabbits as I had my own. Growing up I volunteered at the VCA Adoption center where we took care of the animals looking for homes and spent a few years of my adult life volunteering and running a rescue. I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.
About: Leaving your loved ones that cannot talk and describe their experience is scary sometimes. You want to be able to trust that they are in good hands with someone who will abide by your training, rules, and care as well as someone who will love them, show them as much attention as possible (especially important since their Person is away), and pay attention to their cues. I have been around cats and dogs my entire life, and love them more than most of the human race if we are being honest. I take pride in making new cat and dog friends wherever I go, and I can't wait to become friends with your best friend! While I love dogs and will enjoy caring for and playing with them, I am particularly drawn to cats. I have experience with both (but yes, primarily cats) since early childhood, and know how to read their body language and gradually warm up to them and build their trust. I truly enjoy the play and attention aspect that is needed when pet caregiving, and while no one enjoys cleaning a litter box or being a pooper scooper, it's something that is worth the reward of their company. I am usually home, with only things like taking my family to their job, school, and sitter as well as store runs taking up my time. I do gig work such as this and shopping/errands/delivery so I won't be away from the pet care job much if a boarding situation, and not for long increments when I am. Safety is key, I check exits before exiting, I will not leave two animals alone together that previously haven't been alone together nor will I leave them alone with kids, mine or any others. I will follow the owner's wishes as to not compromise their pet's routine or anything that could risk their health or wellbeing.
“Carola was super accommodating and flexible when we contacted her on short notice to see if she could watch our high energy pup while we went for a hike in the provincial park (no dogs allowed). Drop-off went well and she allowed us to supervise while we introduced our dog to hers. She went above and beyond in caring for him and he was super happy when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I will continue your ways of interacting with your dogs. I will tailor my approach to your fur baby. I am experienced in the delicate handling of senior pets, including mobility assistance, administering oral or topical medications, and monitoring for subtle changes in health or behavior. For young pets, I reinforce your specific training cues and house-breaking routines to ensure consistency while you're away, helping them stay on track with their development. I use positive reinforcement and a calm energy to manage high-anxiety pets or those who are easily overstimulated, ensuring they feel safe and secure. I’ll send you consistent updates and photos so you can see exactly how your pet is thriving, giving you total peace of mind. Would you like to discuss a custom care plan or schedule a meet-and-greet to see how I interact with your pet? I've been around dogs all my life and will treat your pet like I treat my own. We don't deserve the love they bring and give out unconditionally. I'm retired. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet. Plenty of time to play, walk and snuggle with your fur baby! Our yard is not fenced. We have 10+ acres to take walks. We have 3 dogs who love to play. Our pack is very excepting and inclusive.

“Stevie loves Hannah! She’s always super communicative and keeps us updated on our girl. She was also super helpful when my husband dislocated his shoulder unexpectedly and we had to rush him to the hospital and make other arrangements for pickup. We appreciate her so much and will definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“Carly was amazing with my dog Sammie. She was the best sitter I've had for him. I would highly recommend her and I'm super satisfied with the time and care that he received. Awesome Job!”
About: I am a mother to a wonderful eleven year old, Kiera. And we have a boy dog named Koda! My love for animals started at a young age and I know that love will never end. I have spent the past 10 years working in restaurants as a manager, event worker, host, server, bartender. I've also spent the last five years working with kids, in a childcare setting at a local church \ pre school. As I move through this next chapter I just recently received my degree for holistic health and am furthering my educations for specifications in holistic health care. I recently moved back to Bristol so I am ultimately looking for a second income while I get everything established. I am available for almost anything and look forward to being able to love and play with all of your fur babies! I recently moved back to the area and am doing part time work until I am fully re-established. My child is in school and I have plenty of open areas to take care of your fur babies! I always treat my animals with the same love and care I treat any person or child in my care. I have a lot of compassion and love for all living beings!

“My pups love going to Leigha for daycare! I know they are safe and being cared for with lots of love! Leigha keeps me updated throughout the day with pictures too! We will continue our weekly visits as long as possible!”
About: As a military spouse I have helped care for our dogs and many of our neighbors dogs as well. From large to small, I love dogs of all kinds. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and our own dog loves the company of other dogs. I am a mom and am in nursing school, but pet care is the highlight of my day. My schedule is open during weekends during the school semester, and outside of that I'm fulltime at home. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat friendly home. I also have children at home, but they are 10 and up. I prefer dogs crated at night, but during the day they are allowed to roam inside or out in the fenced backyard and will be well taken care of with lots of friendly petting in my home.
About: With the proper instructions, I can and will do anything to give your pet the care he/she needs. I have no problem administering medications of any kind. My wife and I have a yard with sections fenced and not fenced, so I can take dogs out on a leash to relieve themselves, or let them out to run and play. There is also a picnic area near my house with a paved walking trail for walks. I have had and cared for dogs my entire life. Growing up we mainly had large dogs, but I have also cared for small and medium dogs through family. I am comfortable caring for any size dog with any set of needs! I am currently a stay-at-home husband, so I am home all day, every day. My wife works during the day and is home in the evenings and on weekends. Whatever I do during the day will revolve around the care i am currently giving. My wife and I have a home with a fenced backyard. We also have parts of the yard that aren't fenced. We have about 1.5 acres, so I can walk your pet around the yard on a leash or let him/her roam around the fenced in area. I can play with your pet however he/she likes. We can also go to the paved walking path about 5 minutes away. We have 2 medium sized herding dogs that love to play with other dogs. If your dog isn't able or doesnt want to play, no problem! They have experience with small, large, young, and elderly dogs and know how to interact with any needs and temperament. We also have 2 cats that may sniff your dog, but will otherwise do their own things. They have also interacted with different types of dogs and know what to do. Both of our families also love animals so if anyone comes by, it'll just be more love for the fur babies! There is also a veterinarian about 15 minutes away just in case. We are super flexible. I am a stay at home dad and my wife will be working from home in October. We can be accommodating to your needs! We have a fenced in yard which includes a deck and quite a bit of running space. Our dogs love to run up and down the hill, but also like to sun bathe on the porch.

“Sarah is super sweet with the animals! She was patient with me, too, as I negotiated having her care for my elderly mother’s dog, who needs the attention so badly. We are now working out an ongoing, regular schedule.”
About: I have never been without a pet or multiple pets, mostly cats and dogs. I believe pets are family members. I have cared for pets from age birth to 18 years old since my childhood.

About: I will continue your ways of interacting with your dogs. I will tailor my approach to your fur baby.

For young pets, I reinforce your specific training cues and house-breaking routines to ensure consistency while you're away, helping them stay on track with their development. I use positive reinforcement and a calm energy to manage high-anxiety pets or those who are easily overstimulated, ensuring they feel safe and secure. I’ll send you consistent updates and photos so you can see exactly how your pet is thriving, giving you total peace of mind. Would you like to discuss a custom care plan or schedule a meet-and-greet to see how I interact with your pet? I've been around dogs all my life and will treat your pet like I treat my own.

About: I have loved animals of every kind since I was a child. I’ve had numerous dogs in my life, and I currently have my own cat. I would want the best care possible for my pets, and I know you do too! I promise to treat and love them as my own :) I have experience working with dogs with anxiety disorders as well! I am a college student, with weekday availability. My weekends are not currently available! I believe that pets should be cared for intently, and I would want to be as attentive as possible. I treat my pet like any other member of my family, because they are. I care for my cat deeply, and want to provide her the best care possible. I would want my pets to have a loving and safe sitter, so I want that for you too! Pets would be loved and receive much attention!
About: This is from a few years ago now, but everything still applies! I’ve been doing Rover for about 6 years, and watching people’s pets for over 10 years now. Hey there! My name is Abby, I am 30-years young and I absolutely adore all animals!!! My father is a self- proclaimed dog whisperer that is amazing with pets, and he taught me how to safely and successfully interact with dogs at a young age. Since I was a wee one, I have always had a natural ability with pets; they generally tend to be fond of me, dogs especially. I have had ample practice and training, with a wide variety of dogs over that past few years. I have been watching pets for eight years now! From the ages 22 -26, I worked at a school for at-risk girls. There all the faculty members seemed to have pets, and take all these trips! No one there had a reliable pet-sitter, for when they were out of town, so those families were forced to board their pets. So I’m talking to the school nurse one day, she’s newly single & has finished plans to start traveling the world. But she owns Harley, the yellow lab, who has recently aged immensely and is no longer well when boarded anymore. And There I was waiting & beyond ready to start my side-business as a dog-sitter. Harley, became my first client and more so my buddy, I watched him for 1 to 2 week periods, frequently, over the next 3 years. Then, the other staff members began to use my services, also. I had around 5-6 dogs that I would take care of on a regular basis. Whether that meant staying with them at their house, walking them multiple times a day, playing, and anything else that needed to be done! I have been doing Rover for almost two years, now, and am extremely confident in my skills! I look forward to any and all new clients. Feel free to ask me any questions and concerns any time! Abby Morgan Pet care fits so well into my routine, since this is my main source of income right now! I can easily spend as much time needed and wanted with your pet! I strive to care for each pet as if they were my own, so I enjoy fitting this into my routine. Feel free to ask me any questions! I treat pets like they are all my children! Every pet I watch earns a special place in my heart! I try to keep pets on their schedules- whatever they must be! Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf! I currently work PRN as a CNA, which means I pick up shifts when I want to work. This allows me to be able to work around that schedule easily. I care for pets as if they were my own fur baby. I follow common safety practices while caring for animals- keeping them on leash, avoiding other pets during walks, etc. I am extremely vigilant of my surroundings at all times and try to prevent anything bad from happening by using my intuition and common sense.
About: I use my experience as an RN to better care for dogs and cats. I have great assessment skills that help me understand your pets better. I have years of experience caring for geriatric people and animals. I have developed an empathy for pets and pet parents that only comes from years of working to provide the best possible care I can. Whatever your pet needs, from feeding to end of life care, I would be honored to have that responsibility. I am available any day of the week. I do have other obligations occasionally. The sooner you call, the better I will be able to accomodate you and your pet. When we decide that I will care for your pet, I prefer to meet both (or all) of you in your home so that we can discuss your pets needs. I like to spend some time getting to know all involved better, At that time you can show me whatever I might need to know. I look forward to meeting you!
“So Happy to have found Stephanie on Rover for Sailor Girl's walks! Stephanie is dependable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable in caring for dogs. She and Sailor hit it off from the first moment they met. Takes away my worries about Sailor when I am away at work, knowing Sailor is being cared for by Stephanie.”
About: I have had a bunch of pets since I was a kid! I enjoy bathing pets, playing and walking them! I love making them feel loved and special! I work part time and am a full time student but I always have down time that will allow for breaks, walks in the park and play time! Pets deserve the same respect as their owner and I intend to treat them as if they were! I want to make sure not only the animals feel safe but so do the owners!
About: I am a mother to a wonderful eleven year old, Kiera. And we have a boy dog named Koda! My love for animals started at a young age and I know that love will never end. I have spent the past 10 years working in restaurants as a manager, event worker, host, server, bartender. I've also spent the last five years working with kids, in a childcare setting at a local church \ pre school. As I move through this next chapter I just recently received my degree for holistic health and am furthering my educations for specifications in holistic health care. I recently moved back to Bristol so I am ultimately looking for a second income while I get everything established. I am available for almost anything and look forward to being able to love and play with all of your fur babies! I recently moved back to the area and am doing part time work until I am fully re-established. My child is in school and I have plenty of open areas to take care of your fur babies! I always treat my animals with the same love and care I treat any person or child in my care. I have a lot of compassion and love for all living beings!
About: Leaving your loved ones that cannot talk and describe their experience is scary sometimes. You want to be able to trust that they are in good hands with someone who will abide by your training, rules, and care as well as someone who will love them, show them as much attention as possible (especially important since their Person is away), and pay attention to their cues. I have been around cats and dogs my entire life, and love them more than most of the human race if we are being honest. I take pride in making new cat and dog friends wherever I go, and I can't wait to become friends with your best friend! While I love dogs and will enjoy caring for and playing with them, I am particularly drawn to cats. I have experience with both (but yes, primarily cats) since early childhood, and know how to read their body language and gradually warm up to them and build their trust. I truly enjoy the play and attention aspect that is needed when pet caregiving, and while no one enjoys cleaning a litter box or being a pooper scooper, it's something that is worth the reward of their company. I am usually home, with only things like taking my family to their job, school, and sitter as well as store runs taking up my time. I do gig work such as this and shopping/errands/delivery so I won't be away from the pet care job much if a boarding situation, and not for long increments when I am. Safety is key, I check exits before exiting, I will not leave two animals alone together that previously haven't been alone together nor will I leave them alone with kids, mine or any others. I will follow the owner's wishes as to not compromise their pet's routine or anything that could risk their health or wellbeing.
“Kristy was fantastic with my two mutts when I had to leave for a three-day work trip. They had a lot of separation anxiety but she managed them perfectly and sent lots of wonderful pictures of both the dogs as well as my cats that came and went while she was here. I am so happy to have her now established as a resource for future pet sitting!”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals my entire life. I have helped watch my families pets for as long as I can remember. I have watched Dogs from all ages puppies to seniors. I work as a server Wednesday-Sunday nights. I would be able to do Check ins any morning I was needed to because I don't usually work until 4 or 5. I have a spare bedroom in my house that could be used for boarding purposes if needed but would also be open to letting them sleep on the couch or bed. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a decent sized back yard and I live across the street from a walking trail. I do have one pet cat, she is almost a year old and has been around multiple cats and dogs with no problem and would be excited to have a play mate.

She has become our new favorite dog person!”

“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”
