“Demitri has another amazing stay with Lilia. I have never left my dog with anyone this long and she made me feel so comfortable! I loved getting updates on how he was eating. Sleeping and getting lots of cuddles. Demitri just adores her! Highly recommend Lilia!”
“Patches was the absolute best watching our Gomi for 2 weeks! She was gracious to allow Gomi to stay a little earlier after I realized there was a timing mistake. She kept us updated regularly and had no problem taking care of our very anxious boy. Gomi also isn’t usually the type to hang around other dogs so I was pleasantly surprised to see he was doing just fine with the other dogs boarded or in residence ! Definitely will be taking Gomi back to patches again!!”
“Took good care of my little girl on short notice! I received several photo updates and a video. This was the first time I left my girlie with someone other than family so I was nervous, but she was well taken care of. Plus, she had the enrichment of having other dogs to play with during the stay:)”
“It's very clear to see what with Cynthia she does this because she has a passion around it. Her home is a perfect set up for dogs. She is fast to respond and very easy and nice woman to work with. She was very accommodating to my super last minute request and flexible when I needed her to watch my baby a day longer. I will absolutely be using her in the future!”

“We had a great experience. Aine was communicative, and sent daily photos/videos. She even provided a sweet card with photos of Suki during her stay when I picked her up. I know Suki was in great hands. I'd definitely use Aine and Jared again!”
“Rui was so kind and understanding with me and with Chia! She sent me pictures of my pup having lots of fun and being really greatly taken care of. If I'm in town again, I will definitely think of booking a stay with Rui again! Definitely recommend!”
“Samuel was great with my doberman Atlas, sharing updates and pictures and really making sure Atlas stuck to his similar routine that he has at home to make sure he settles in well. I could also tell that Atlas was really comfortable and relaxed which was great to see!”
“Alison has always been soo amazing while taking care of my pup!! She treats my Harry like he were her own, and I know he LOVES staying with her and her family!!!! Harry practically jumps out of the car the second we pull in to her neighborhood... definitely trust her 1000%!!!”

“Jeff and his wife took good care of Marley! He stayed with them for 3 nights and we received daily updates via msgs, pictures, and videos. He’s a little quirky and we appreciate them rolling with it :) Thank you for giving him a safe and loving “vacation.””
“Having Bourbon board with Giovanna was an absolute delight. They got to meet ahead of time and he took to her immediately. He can be anxious and he takes time getting comfortable with strangers, but within 20 minutes they were already bonding. She was very responsive and communicative throughout this experience. She sent the right amount of updates, so I was able to enjoy my time away without any worries. After 5 days with her, he barely wanted to come back home with me! I would highly recommend Giovanna as a boarder if you are looking for a safe and loving environment for your pups.”
“Sadie was in great hands with Priscila! I thank her for being flexible and accommodating and letting me know how Sadie was the whole time I was away. Highly recommend.”

“Tiffany was absolutely amazing with my dog, Marty. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, active, and loved while I was away. She played ball with him, kept him entertained with games, cuddled with him, and treated him like he was her own dog. One thing I especially appreciated was how many videos and updates she sent. It gave me so much peace of mind seeing Marty having fun and being so well cared for. He looked genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely trust Tiffany to watch Marty again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and dependable pet sitter.”

She’s been really fantastic, especially seeing as Rudy was a little skittish and shy at first, but she took the time to get him to be comfortable around her. Thanks Brandy for your help!”

I would absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone needing someone to love on their animal(s) while they are busy/away!”
“Kianna was amazing. She took care of my cat by showing him love and spending a lot of time with him. He also kept me up to date by messages and a lot of pictures. I will be using her for the next time I go out of town.”

I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special care instructions. I treat every dog like family and provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away.

I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. At my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment, providing attentive supervision, consistent care, and respectful handling to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure
“Jen was great with my pup. Xena is a sweet and nervous around other dog; Jen was more than accommodating and took her time introducing her to the other dogs. On her second day she was fully part of the pack and I had a great time at puppy land. I would definitely recommend her services 10/10”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8, whether it was my own dog, one in the neighborhood, or in shelters and I love it! I just graduated college and am hoping to do some pet care while I look for a job, because of this my schedule is very open! I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs in my home and in others’ homes. The safety and happiness of a dog in my care will always be my top priority, and I know that looks a little different for each dog parent!
“Simone was super communicative and easy to work with! This was my first time using Rover and she made it so painless for me! She took pictures and videos of my dog, and when I was running late for pick up she was happy to accommodate me. Will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child and cared for our family pup! In the past, I've cared for friends' and family's dogs, from check-ins and walks to overnight stays. I work from home so I have plenty of time to give your dog endless love and cuddles, and take them for long walks. If they enjoy playing with other dogs, I love to make stops at the dog park during our walks. My 3 year old cavapoo loves having friends stay with us, and is the perfect companion for your pup during their stay! My apartment building has a dog park, and I live in a very walkable area, to take your pup on nice long walks.
About: Begged for a puppy since I was 12, have been taking care of my own since then. I’ve noticed a Samson- shaped whole in my heart since 2016 (RIP), love when I can help others take care of theirs 🥰. Promise to not get jealous, k? I’ll keep my end of the deal up 🙏🏽 I’m working part-time & remote. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and prefer to go out in the afternoons/ sunset hours to get that vitamin D 😎 I take care as I would want someone to take care of my Samson. I can also bring along my best friend’s Pomeranian if we’re trying to get social
About: Hi, I’m Ashley and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years, starting with my two Maltipoos, whom I’ve had since high school. They’re now happily living with my parents, but caring for them from puppies through adulthood taught me a lot about providing consistent, loving care and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs🐕❤️ Before joining Rover, I also fostered a 3–month-old puppy for two weeks, helping with his daily routine, care, and adjustment while finding him a loving forever home. I love spending time together and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away. I am a housewife so I’ll be spending most of the day with your dogs. I also don’t have children or pets at home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the day and can be flexible with different routines and schedules. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and security in the lobby. My balcony is always kept locked, so pets cannot access it. I’ll leave the house to run some errands for few hours, so if your dog uses a crate/kennel when left unattended, please provide one for the stay :)
“We needed a last minute sitter for the day, and I am so happy we ran into Liuba’s profile. She took great care of my dog Alfie, and he seemed calm and relaxed when we picked him up.”
“Ian - Deacon told us he very much enjoyed coming by and playing with Misty and the gang. He said they all made him feel right at home. He's bugging us already to get back over. Thank you Ian...he's a special little guy and you and your crew gave him a very special day.”

“Very communicative and responsible with our young and vivacious puppy. Christian worked her flawlessly on walks, reinforcing some training we’ve been doing while adapting to any particular needs she had that day. I would highly recommend!”
“From day one Amelia has won mine and Niño’s trust. Knowing that Amelia is caring for Niño during my business travels, gives me peace of mind. She is in constant communication via notifications and provides routes of the walks with notes of how Niño behaved during his walk. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who's been around dogs for as long as I can remember.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day and night, weekdays and weekends, to give your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs oral medication, extra patience on leash walks, or just lots of snuggles and playtime, I’ve got it covered. I’m experienced with leash-reactive dogs, senior pets, and those with special routines or requirements. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I’d love to be your pet’s second best friend (you’ll always be number one)! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. My schedule allows me to easily accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines, as well as any special needs or last-minute requests. On weekends, I’m also home and fully available, so your pet will never be without attention or companionship. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets are in my care, I treat them like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. I keep their routines as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any special care instructions you provide are followed closely. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or quiet time for older pets, I tailor my care to their unique needs and personality. I’m home throughout the day and night, so your pet will never be left alone or without attention.
“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”
“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”
“Heidi walked our dog for 4 days while we were out of town. I absolutely recommend her because she genuinely cares for each furbaby as if they were her own. She asked a lot of questions during her initial meeting with us and even took down her own notes. She was on time for each walk, gave detailed updates and sent a picture for every walk. I can tell she really cares and really made the extra effort to make sure my baby was comfortable and happy while we were away.”
“I’m so glad I found Brittany! She is reliable, kind and responsible. I’m a nurse who works long shifts and it’s a nice feeling to know I have someone I can rely on when I’m gone. She always sends a few photos and updates for me which are much appreciated.”
“Kathryn is so great with my wild Millie girl. I trust her to keep her safe on walks and manage her if some other dogs get too sassy! Millie is sweet but also a 90 lb handful so I really appreciate Kathryn’s handling of her. Will be using her again!”
About: Do you have a dachshund that you’re nervous to leave in someone else’s care because of how unique they are? I completely understand. I was the same way with mine. Dachshunds have their own little quirks, and their backs require some extra care. I know how important it is to have someone who understands how to properly pick them up and why you don’t want them constantly jumping off beds or couches. My home has stairs leading up to both, so they can get where they want to go without putting unnecessary stress on their backs. My husband and I also work from home full-time with flexible jobs, so your Velcro pup won’t be left alone. I’m able to give them lots of attention, hang out with them throughout the day, and take them outside as many times as they need. 5–6 times a day? No worries! I’ve watched multiple dachshunds for friends I’ve met through our local dachshund meetup, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know each of them and their little personalities. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dachshund with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I decided to offer my services on Rover because I know what it’s like to be new to town and not have someone you trust to watch your dog. If you’re looking for someone who already understands dachshunds and all their little quirks, I’d love to meet you and your pup! My husband and I work from home every day, so we are at the beck and call of your pup! Whatever they need, I can provide: all day cuddles, potty outside breaks, mid-day walks… you name it. I have a knack for reading animal behavior- dogs have very clear warning signs when they’re on edge, shy, excited, etc. I will make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable and avoid any situations that may cause any doubt

I'm available for both drop-in visits and overnight stays. Let's chat about your pet's needs! I’m currently an allied healthcare provider in Austin, TX. I am very laid back, caring, and love animals! I am available 7 days a week!! The pets in my life always receive the best treatment! My Marlee girl went to Hydro Therapy and we used to love going on long walks. I am also a volunteer with SPCA.
