“Amber is the BEST dog sitter. She loves my dog like she is her own. Amber sends photos and videos so I can see my dog is happy! My dog loves her so much that she will try to jump out of the car when we pull up!”
“Lilia was great! She was very responsive and sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay. I could tell that my pups really enjoyed their stay and were well taken care of. Thanks again!!”
“Great communication and response time. My dog can be picky about being away from me but seemed to have a great time. Would definitely come back for further services!”
“Adriana is the only person I let my anxious dog, Maggie, stay with! Mags is pretty anxious and takes a minute to warm up to people. Adriana always does a great job at keeping her comfortable and happy. She’s always sending me pictures of how happy Mag is with her which always makes me feel so much better. She also brings Mag back with cute bandanas and treats which is a plus! Highly highly recommend!”
“Gracie is the BEST! My original sitter canceled last minute, and she swooped in within an hour to save the day (and my birthday trip). She sent lots of great pictures, her house was very clean, and she was the perfect mix of professional and friendly. Her husband was just as kind and welcoming. I can’t recommend Gracie enough — if you’re looking for someone to watch your Dog go with her.”
“returned to a very happy pup! thankful for a close by safe space for my pup to stay when I have to go on work trips. Will absolutely be back!”
“So grateful to have found Gabriel and Savannah! So communicative and lots of updates and photos during Charlie’s stay. This was my second time booking with them and when we arrived at their home and Charlie saw Gabriel he started crying with excitement and couldn’t wait to jump out of the car to see him! He definitely enjoys his time with them and their pup! Thank you both so much.”
“Kelly was great with my dog Opal. She was very communicative and sent me pictures of her every day while I was on my trip which gave me such a peace of mind. I’m always appreciative when I can see what my lil pup is up to. She loves to sunbathe and Kelly had a very nice yard that she could run around and play in the sun. She was very attentive and took great care of her.”
“I must have done something right in a past life to have found someone as caring, amazing, and intentional as Kate to look after Princess. I got photos and videos everyday of her playing and having a good time, and she came back happy as ever. It was my first time leaving for over 2 weeks, and I was nervous, but all that went away when I saw my pup was in the best hands. I recommend to everyone.”
“Highly recommend Mariana to watch your pups! She gave great updates and send pictures and videos multiple times a day. Our two pups came back happy and even bathed! Thanks for taking great care of them!”
“Aimee was great as always with our little fluffball. She went above and beyond to take care of Coda as well as provide a fun, playful space for him to play with other fur pals who also joined him during the holiday. Coda is definitely missing his fun crew for sure! Until next time!”
“This was my first time using Rui with our two dogs. This has been an overall great experience for her services. She was overly communicative and gave daily updates on the dogs. Would use her again in the future.”
“She’s great. First time boarding my dog. I was pretty apprehensive because he’s a large akita who’s not always great with strangers. But he loved her. And I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Will definitely book again if I need to board him.”
“Radha and Bart were able to accommodate me on short notice due to some plans of mine falling through last minute. As usual they were wonderful with Otto and he fell into a comfortable routine right away!”
“Cassandra and Jason were amazing sitters! We left our dog with them for 5 nights, and he got all the walks, cuddles, and attention he could have wanted. From the photos they sent, we could clearly tell he was having a great time, and we came home to a happy, healthy pup. They also did a couple of drop-in visits for our senior cat at our home. Our cat usually hides from everyone, but she actually came out to get some love from them, which says a lot. Cassandra and Jason made sure she had everything she needed while we were away. We felt totally at ease knowing both of our pets were in such caring hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Marissa. I have a senior pup, and she is great about giving medication, texting me with updates, and providing the extra attention and care he needs.”
“Kyle, hands down, is the most enthusiastic, personable, caring, and attentive sitter! When Boyd goes over to his "resort', an acre or so of room to play with pals, jump in the pool or lay down in a baby pool, (water dog that he is) he has the absolute best time! Sometimes Kyle has 5 'guests', other times, more. There's always buddies to run and play with and hyper Boyd comes home exhausted!!! And Kyle is great at sending lots of action photos! !I am so happy to have discovered Kyle!”
“Denise is truly a lifesaver! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my Doxiepoo, Toby, especially for our last-minute 3-day, 2-night booking. From the moment we arrived, Denise was incredibly welcoming and professional. She walked me through her routine and handled the introductions between Toby and the other dogs perfectly, making drop-off and pick-up an absolute breeze. Throughout Toby's stay, Denise was a fantastic communicator, sending lots of wonderful photo updates that showed how much fun he was having. Toby can be a little escape artist, but Denise kept a close eye on him and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such safe hands. When I picked him up, Toby was so happy and had clearly bonded with both Denise and the other dogs. I highly recommend Denise and will definitely be booking with her again. She is a natural with dogs and a true gem!”

“Very professional and great with our dogs. She’s also very confident around our dogs, which is very important to us, because we have two active breeds. We definitely recommend Frances for all Rover services 👍.”
“Mara was awesome with our cats!! She was great at reaching out, and just generally checking in about the boys. She also was super attentive when we were teaching her how to administer mediation to one of our cats We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lori did great as always and was able to cover holidays for me. I am so lucky to have her and the kitties are always glad to see her. Mittie watches out the window when she leaves.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs with a huge range of personalities, energy levels, ages, and backgrounds. In addition to having dogs of my own, I’ve fostered multiple dogs and have experience helping new or nervous dogs settle into an unfamiliar environment. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, oral and injected medications, crates, and dogs who need a little extra patience. Because I have a multi-dog household, I’m very experienced with dog body language, introductions, different play styles, and knowing when a dog needs space or a break. I want every guest to feel comfortable here, so I’m happy to discuss your dog’s personality and make sure my home is a good fit before booking. I work from home full-time, so your pup won’t spend the day alone! Dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, supervised playtime, outdoor time in our fenced yard, and lots of opportunities to relax inside when they’re ready for a break. I work remotely full-time, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. Dogs can enjoy frequent potty and play breaks in our fenced yard, hang out with me while I work, or relax somewhere comfortable when they’re ready for a nap. I’m happy to adjust our routine to your dog’s normal schedule and energy level so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. I have a fully fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, or take a break when they need one. I’m experienced with multi-dog households and pay close attention to body language, play styles, and each dog’s comfort level. I have gates that can block access to stairs or separate areas of the home when needed, as well as multiple large crates for dogs who are crate-trained and feel most comfortable having their own space. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, medication, and care routine.
“Thank you SO much for taking such good care of my babies while I was traveling! The updates and pictures were wonderful, I was so nervous to leave my girls but Kellie’s check ins really eased my worries. Will absolutely have Kellie check in on my kitties whenever I travel again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
“Amani took such great care of our cats! I received photos every day and great updates! I could tell they were well taken care of. The litter boxes were clean, and she even washed out their bowls and ensured that everything was neat before I returned!”
“As always, I feel so confident that my kitty is taken care of when Kaleigh is around! She sends super detailed updates and I can truly relax on vacation. Highly recommend her for your next sitting!”
“Michelle was an awesome caretaker while I was away! The kitties were stressed out and gave her some extra work but she helped me out and took care of the the cats no problem and kept me updated every step of the way. Felt completely confident while I was away. Would definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I have grown up around dogs since a child and have a passion for taking care of them. I have my own dog who loves playing with others and she would love the company! I have Sundays & Mondays off and I have a pup who is 7 years old that wouldn't hurt a fly. We would love company & play time on my days off :) I allow pets to roam freely and they are allowed on furniture. I have a porch that is fenced in and give walks around my complex frequently. I have toys and treats but feel free to bring their fav :) I pay attention and make sure they are not in harms way and treated with love and care.
“Julian was amazing with our two cats! He showed up everyday on time and left detailed descriptions of what he and the cats got up to! We looked forward to the fun pictures and videos he would send at the end of each visit. We know our cats were in great hands while we were away and we will be booking with him again in the future!”
“Megan was prompt as always. My kitties remembered her and they were happy to see her . I am so glad she is available for me. I feel very comfortable having my kitties in her care.”
About: Hello there! My name is Sofía, and I can’t wait to care of your pet! Here are some things you should know about me : I have one dog living with me. I have volunteered at animal shelters, wildlife rescue facilities, and animal therapy organizations. When volunteering at shelters, I bathed dogs, cleaned up their poop, played with, and walked them as well as played with cats. Additionally, I enjoy outdoor activities very much, so I am definitely in shape to walk your dogs and play with them. I hope I can be of service to you and your dog(s). My backyard is unfenced, except for the patio area and a room sized square for dogs to pee/poop in. Dogs are not allowed on furniture, but they can be on the bed if they stay on top of the blanket. If you know your dog won’t run away, we can play in the unfenced area of the backyard :) I do have a 30 ft leash that I normally use to play with my dog outside. I work a few hours during the week, 2:30-6pm from Monday to Friday, but I am usually available outside of this chunk of time (plus traveling time). I will care for your pets however is needed and instructed. I have taken care of multiple senior dogs and dogs that take oral medication.

About: I wanna watch your sweet baby!!!!!! I love and understand dogs so that means I won’t derail your dog training. I trained my dog to be so polite that she now weaponizes it against me lol.

“I am writing this after the first week of daycare for my young lab and could not be more pleased with the care and attention she is receiving. Lola has “endless energy” and came home exhausted every day! Ashley has provided great communication throughout and I would recommend highly.”
“Julian was a total life saver for me!! All of the photos and status updates he gave me throughout the day were so comforting. I could tell Jameson was in good hands & having the best day with his sweet Lulu. Thank you Julian!!”

“Chris and Callan were absolutely wonderful. They helped me at the last minute with daycare and were friendly, flexible, and responsible. My dog, Sevi, seemed to feel immediately at home in their house, even venturing up the stairs on her own to explore minutes after I dropped her. She came back at the end of the day happily tired and calm.”

“Wow! What a great experience with Lakeisha! She was on time, Sat and talked to me about her history…very friendly, asked question about my dog, the whole 9 yards!

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

Since I work from home, I can coordinate visits around my work meetings and spend quality time with your pet, making sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a little boy and I age always loved all my pets. I love matching their energy and giving them the love they want and need. Currently, I'm going to school and I have a lot of time before and after school to hang out with any ones pets. I love getting up in the morning and hanging out with my cat so I believe that I would love to do the same with other pets. I love giving time to my cat. Shes extremely curious and loving hiding in tiny areas of my apartment. I recently finish reorganized my room so that she has a bigger area to explore.

I have also administered eye medications to kittens before and allergy meds to dogs. I have also lived on a couple of farms and helped take care of horses, goats, chickens, and even a rabbit. I would love to take care of your pet and offer you the peace of mind to know I will love on and care for them as if they were my own :) I’m self-employed, so I have plenty of time available to care for your pets.

For dogs, I am happy to spend time indoors with them playing with toys and giving them good belly scratches as well as take them outdoors either into the backyard and/or on walks. I have experience both with big dogs including a German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees lab mix, Australian Shepherds, and shelter dogs as well as smaller dogs including a Teacup Pomeranian and an Iggie. I’m very active, so if your dog has a lot of energy and likes to go on runs, I am happy to run with them as well. For cats, I am happy to match their energy levels - if they are playful and energetic, I engage with them and encourage play. If they prefer to sleep or rest or are more shy, I am happy to just be around and pet them/brush them if they would like or just give them space. I am happy to care for other pets if requested and I am comfortable with the care instructions. I have previously cared for a tortoise, which mainly consisted of feeding him and giving him water.
About: Hi. Send me a message and let me know how I can help! I have had dogs all of my life and enjoy spending time with mans best friend. I currently have one lab/pit mix and would get a dozen more if I could! I have experience with many different types of pets and I’m happy to help out with whoever you have at home. In the past I’ve cared for: rabbits, chickens, fish, turtles, cats and dogs! I work from home some days so I have the flexibility to come walk, pet, feed, potty and watch after you pup as needed through the day. You tell me what would make your pet happy and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I work only with friendly dogs. High energy is fine as that is what I have at home! I am accepting bookings for boarding, drop-ins, and house sitting.
About: Ive been dog walking and sitting dogs since I was 10. I love all animals and love to just chill and hang with them :) I live on a 20 acre house and have lots of room for your dog to run around. I love to chill with your animals and have play time with them. Pets are allowed on the couch and bed with me if you allow it! We have a lot of land for playtime and a lot of toys. We have a gated yard so they can’t run off!

“Adriana is the only person I let my anxious dog, Maggie, stay with! Mags is pretty anxious and takes a minute to warm up to people. Adriana always does a great job at keeping her comfortable and happy. She’s always sending me pictures of how happy Mag is with her which always makes me feel so much better. She also brings Mag back with cute bandanas and treats which is a plus! Highly highly recommend!”
“returned to a very happy pup! thankful for a close by safe space for my pup to stay when I have to go on work trips. Will absolutely be back!”
“Highly recommend Mariana to watch your pups! She gave great updates and send pictures and videos multiple times a day. Our two pups came back happy and even bathed! Thanks for taking great care of them!”
“She’s great. First time boarding my dog. I was pretty apprehensive because he’s a large akita who’s not always great with strangers. But he loved her. And I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Will definitely book again if I need to board him.”
“Cassandra and Jason were amazing sitters! We left our dog with them for 5 nights, and he got all the walks, cuddles, and attention he could have wanted. From the photos they sent, we could clearly tell he was having a great time, and we came home to a happy, healthy pup. They also did a couple of drop-in visits for our senior cat at our home. Our cat usually hides from everyone, but she actually came out to get some love from them, which says a lot. Cassandra and Jason made sure she had everything she needed while we were away. We felt totally at ease knowing both of our pets were in such caring hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Kyle, hands down, is the most enthusiastic, personable, caring, and attentive sitter! When Boyd goes over to his "resort', an acre or so of room to play with pals, jump in the pool or lay down in a baby pool, (water dog that he is) he has the absolute best time! Sometimes Kyle has 5 'guests', other times, more. There's always buddies to run and play with and hyper Boyd comes home exhausted!!! And Kyle is great at sending lots of action photos! !I am so happy to have discovered Kyle!”
“Luca absolutely loves Desmond and Robyn! We’ve used them a handful of times and Luca comes back so exhausted from all of the playing. The updates are amazing and communication incredible. We’ll continue bringing Luca back thank you!!”
“Elizabeth was great with my dog Opal! She tried different techniques to help calm her down as Opal can be very anxious around other dogs — I felt very at ease while I was away on my trip and she made sure to update me on how she was doing.”
“Gail is awesome! I’m lucky to have her take care of my anxiety boy and I can tell he had a great time. Quinn is super friendly and playful, and is a great company. Will definitely come back.”
“Fern had a wonderful time playing with your dogs. She will definitely stay again in future. She got lots of snuggles and I received updates with photos during her stay.”
“Aine, Jared and Mr. Fionn are my favorite Rover sitters! It’s been a few days since pickup and Stella is still exhausted. Y’all are actual miracle workers!”
About: I’m a dog mom to a sweet Bernedoodle, Nuvie, who loves making new friends! I've cared for several friends' dogs and grew up around both dogs and cats. With a fenced yard and a love for animals, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home☺️ I’m currently enjoying summer break as a School Psychologist! During the school year, I work a flexible hybrid schedule and am home most days, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I have a fenced yard and my fur baby is crate trained. My dog loves to people watch through the window & play with his toys. He does amazing with other pets as well!
“Jacob is an amazing Human and a stellar dog sitter. It’s evident from the regular updates with photos, asking lots of questions to make sure he knows your pup’s particular needs. Highly recommend and happy to have found Jacob!”
“Marc was great. He sent pictures daily sometimes twice a day. He always responded quickly during texting. Drop off and pick up was easy. This was a late booking which he was very flexible. Thank you Marc.”
“Eddie & his wife were absolutely AMAZING! They sent tons of photos & updates, took Brewski for a walk & I know he was well taken care of as if he were their own! My dog had such a blast with Eddie’s family (including their dogs)! HIGHLY recommend & will definitely use again in the future!”
“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:)”
“Gave good updates, doesn’t take on too many dogs at one time, and treats dogs like family. Their own dog, Winnie, seems good at showing the newbies the ropes and is so sweet.”
