“Margarita was AMAZING!! I have never left my pup with anyone and he is intimidated by bigger dogs as he doesn't have much exposure to others. When we got there she was so welcoming and we immediately felt at ease. She communicated with us daily with texts, pictures even videos!! We had a great vibe when we first came across her profile and she is definitely our permanent sitter! Thank you Margarita! Also, we loved Mimi :)”

“What Jessica a took care of all of our dogs are big German Shepherd, Rockweiler, and our two Chihuahuas. They were very happy to see us, but they looked very contented and well taken care of for our weekend away from home. I appreciate the fact that they were so well loved. This is the first time all three of them have bought it together at a residence and I’m so glad it worked out.”

“We needed a last minute sitter for a week long vacation and a friend recommended Rover. Having never used Rover before, we were nervous about leaving our pup with a “stranger”. Lovanna was very understanding and even agreed to meet with us before finalizing the booking. She took great care of Ruby, picked her up from our house the day we left and when our flight home was pushed back she even brought her back home - which wasn’t the original plan. We are new to the area and really appreciated finding such a caring, understanding and flexible sitter on such short notice.”
“We have used Kayla twice now and will now be a forever home for our dog and cat when we leave town. I have no worries when I drop them off and I know they are happy and cared for until I return. I see them in pics daily with updates which I love. So glad we found our forever home away from home!!”

“Madelin was amazing! It was my dogs first time before around others and he seemed to take to them well! Madelin provided photos/vidoes everyday along with any updates. I love how communicative she was. She also helped out with the tear build up he gets sometimes without even being asked! I am so glad she was the sitter he has every had and I’ll definitely be back.”

“I highly recommend Ian and his family for providing a safe, engaging and loving home for any dog! We left our 2 year old German Shepherd mix for almost a week while we traveled over the holidays and he thrived in their care. Every request we had for his care was meticulously provided and so much more… I’m surprised our dog wanted to come home to us! Photo and video updates daily insured us of our dog’s wellbeing and allowed us to not worry about him at all. We’d give a rating of 10 stars if it was possible! Thanks, Ian!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for Bella, Luna, and Charles. From the start, she was professional, attentive, and clearly cared deeply about my pets’ well-being—but what truly set her apart was how she handled an unexpected situation. One of my cats had a mishap while I was away, and she went completely above and beyond. She handled everything with such care, patience, and compassion, keeping me informed while also taking the initiative to make sure my pets were comfortable, clean, and safe. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing someone so capable and thoughtful was there. On top of that, Bella and Luna were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when I returned, and Charles was in great spirits too. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but she made it effortless. I am incredibly grateful and would absolutely book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”

I’m able to swap days with 48 hour notice. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! 🐾 I am not currently a pet parent so your animal(s) will have my full and undivided attention.

About: I've pet sat for lots of friends and relatives. I believe pets are such an awesome part of the family. I love caring for them and getting to know new furbabies. I'm currently working full time but I can stop by midday or nights after 4:30 pm and weekends. If you are missing your furnbaby I'm happy to have them FaceTime or I could send you some silly pictures of them while you're away. I prefer to come check on furbabies. One of my pets can be a little grumpy at times as one of them is older and set in their ways.
About: I had two dogs growing up and now I have one 4 year old dog who I have been taken care of since 8th grade. I also occasionally take care of my neighbors dogs and cats. In August, I will be attending college on a track scholarship, and I will need to train a lot over the summer so this will allow me to fit in my training along with making some money before I go to college. My dog that I take care of now has tons of toys to play with, water bowl is constantly filled and is fed 2-3 times a day as required.
“This was our first experience working with a pet sitter who wasn’t a family member stopping by while we are away. Janine was great with our fur babies and we were able to enjoy our time away without worry. She even checked in after her last visit to make sure we were on schedule to make it back home as planned. I also appreciate the tips and info for doggie products as well as more practical ways to improve our daily routine with our fur babies. We definitely hope to continue to work with her in the future!”
“Jennifer made a great impression with her first visit. Arrived on time, followed all instructions for taking care of my cat for several days. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Kitty trusted her. I will definitely use Jennifer again”

About: I’ve loved and had pets my whole life! I have always had a hard time finding someone to help watch my own cats, so I figure I can help others that feel the same way!

I swear she learned how to crawl by wanting to follow them around the house! Kitties are all so different and have special needs and personalities. Let me know how I can best help take care of your babes!! Meow! I was also foster mom for years to several dogs of all different breeds and ages! That experience made me understand why dogs are truly man's best friend and I quickly became a "foster failure" after adopting a deaf pitbull pup stole my heart forever! I even taught him sign language! Not having dogs now just gives me more time to help love on your pups! Let me know how I can provide them the best care for their specific needs! Woof woof! Update!!! Buddy, our two year old poodle, basically fell in our laps from God himself!! He was being mistreated and our friends were fostering him, but already had two large dogs and a toddler. I didn’t have any rover jobs booked at the time, so I offered to help watch him and we instantly fell in love! He’s the most gentle, sweet and calm dog I have EVER met! We just adopted him in the middle of February!! He does great with other dogs, cats, and kids! We’ve had no issues watching other rover pups and kitties since he joined the family!!

I didn’t have any rover jobs booked at the time, so I offered to help watch him and we instantly fell in love! He’s the most gentle, sweet and calm dog I have EVER met! We just adopted him in the middle of February!! He does great with other dogs, cats, and kids! We’ve had no issues watching other rover pups and kitties since he joined the family!! I take pride in the fact that I do this job the way I would want someone to do it for me if I was going out of town or in need of a sitter! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your fur babes! I’m currently a stay at home mama, so I can be flexible to help take care of your pups and kitties whenever works best for their schedules! I can feed, give meds, brush, play and give all the pets and cuddles! I will treat them like they’re my own and follow any and all directions!
About: I’ve raised all kinds of pets from newborns, adopted, and elderly. They deserve attention and care just like humans and I strive to do just that. I work Sat-Tues 7a-5p and off during the week. I’m able to swap days with 48 hour notice. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! 🐾 I am not currently a pet parent so your animal(s) will have my full and undivided attention. I’m empathetic and know when I need a break, so do they!
About: Any animal I’ve met I have loved like my own! From the time I was a child I’ve always been surrounded by animals. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Including puppy’s with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! I work from home so I can accommodate any schedule or special requests you may have. I am also available for pick up and drop off. I would love to hang out with your pet. I will take care of them as if they were my own child. We will play and take long walks and get plenty of belly rubs. I will try to make them feel at home with me while you are away. They will be well fed and watered. I will keep u updated while you are away if needed. I have a clean home and fenced in yard for plenty of bathroom breaks.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for 10 years and a trusted member of Rover for 8. I absolutely love all dogs, cats, or any little creature. Animals are my passion and I don’t intimidate easily nor would I ever allow a pet to be mistreated! When watching each pet I take care of them like I would take care of my own family member and worry about them like they are my own child. I truly love them because they are just innocent babies. This will all be taken care of before the visit. Every pet and family are different and I’ve found that a schedule is custom to every visit. In a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's usual routine to minimize stress. This includes following specific feeding schedules, walking routes, and any medication regimens precisely as instructed. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and secure, respecting the space while ensuring the pet's comfort and safety. I prioritize open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their beloved pet is in good hands. This customized care ensures that every pet receives the attention and love they deserve, regardless of the setting.
About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.
About: I have always been around dogs since I was little but I have officially dog sat for about 7 years. I grew up with all different types of dogs, so I am able to get along with many different breeds. I have also watched cats, horses and donkies and am willing to learn how to watch any other animal. When I would watch the dogs I would go to their house to feed, water, and let the dogs out as needed. I am willing to do anything with the dogs that is in their normal routine of their days. I am a teacher and nanny so I have different hours day to day but willing to work it out with you. And during the summers my schedule can be a lot more open.

“We received regular updates, photos, and reassurance, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. 10/10 would book again!”
“I loved the daily updates and videos. She was soo sweet and kind. I knew yoshi was in good hands. I will definitely use her services again. Yoshi was sooo happy upon pick up❤️❤️”
“Margarita was AMAZING!! I have never left my pup with anyone and he is intimidated by bigger dogs as he doesn't have much exposure to others. When we got there she was so welcoming and we immediately felt at ease. She communicated with us daily with texts, pictures even videos!! We had a great vibe when we first came across her profile and she is definitely our permanent sitter! Thank you Margarita! Also, we loved Mimi :)”
“What Jessica a took care of all of our dogs are big German Shepherd, Rockweiler, and our two Chihuahuas. They were very happy to see us, but they looked very contented and well taken care of for our weekend away from home. I appreciate the fact that they were so well loved. This is the first time all three of them have bought it together at a residence and I’m so glad it worked out.”
“The communication was awesome. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs here. They were well taken care of and spoiled. I honestly don't think they wanted to leave. They were having a blast. Highly recommend and will book again! Thanks for everything!”
“We needed a last minute sitter for a week long vacation and a friend recommended Rover. Having never used Rover before, we were nervous about leaving our pup with a “stranger”. Lovanna was very understanding and even agreed to meet with us before finalizing the booking. She took great care of Ruby, picked her up from our house the day we left and when our flight home was pushed back she even brought her back home - which wasn’t the original plan. We are new to the area and really appreciated finding such a caring, understanding and flexible sitter on such short notice.”
“We have used Kayla twice now and will now be a forever home for our dog and cat when we leave town. I have no worries when I drop them off and I know they are happy and cared for until I return. I see them in pics daily with updates which I love. So glad we found our forever home away from home!!”
“I like Nubia’s service because she treats my dog like her own. My dog is always excited to see Nubia when dropping her off. I like this service a lot because the detailed care she provides to my dog every time.”
“Aeden was wonderful with our girl Kona! He is a great communicator and Kona seemed happy to be there! We are already scheduled to leave Kona and our other dog with Aeden and know they will be well cared for!”
“I highly recommend Ian and his family for providing a safe, engaging and loving home for any dog! We left our 2 year old German Shepherd mix for almost a week while we traveled over the holidays and he thrived in their care. Every request we had for his care was meticulously provided and so much more… I’m surprised our dog wanted to come home to us! Photo and video updates daily insured us of our dog’s wellbeing and allowed us to not worry about him at all. We’d give a rating of 10 stars if it was possible! Thanks, Ian!”
“We have never left our boy with anyone outside family. Shelby was great throughout the process. She kept our boy for a week while we were out of town. She sent pics and updates very regularly making the process much smoother and less anxious. Flash was happy and his usual self when we picked him up and we could easily tell he was well taken care of. I don’t think he wanted to leave at first lol. She was also very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely use her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Paige and her husband took the best care of our boy! They were always quick to respond, took the utmost care in making sure they had all of the necessary information and resources for our pup’s stay, and best of all our pup had so much fun during his stay with them. Highly recommend and will be using again!”
“I loved how friendly Sian was and how relaxed myself and our dogs felt as soon as we walked in the door. This was our first stay and first time meeting Sian and her pup Travis. We will book with her again. One of my dogs never eats when momma is away, but he ate at Sian's house! They got lots of playtime and snuggles. Sian sent the right amount of photos and checkins so that we knew they were good but were not distracted during our vacation. She commuicated when one of our dogs threw up, which isn't unusual for his sensitive stomach.”
“Janine was a wonderful fit for my little Maltese. She took great care of him, and even let him sleep on her bed, just like he does in my home. She has a little potbellied pig and my dog chased the pig and he chased her! It was so fun to watch! I would definitely leave my dog with her, again!”
“Denise is wonderful. Made our pet feel right at home. Made her a sweatshirt- due to the cold weather and gave her a blanket to cuddle with to keep warm. She will definitely be my go to person for future boarding needs.”
“From drop-off to pick up it was an all around great experience. Eric and his son provided top notch care for our doggy. Coco had plenty of space to run and play in his back yard. We appreciated the pictures he sent us while we were away and felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. We will definitely use his services in the future and will highly recommend to friends and family.”
“Doloris and her husband took such great care of our dog. We are so thankful to them for all the pictures and video updates during her stay. You can tell that they truly care about taking care of animals. We will definitely use them again! Thank you for the peace of mind knowing our Xollie was in good hands while we were on vacation!”
