“Great people!! Ari had a great time at her sleepover. Hosts were communicative and kept me posted with pictures. They responded quickly to my inquiry about how Ari was doing and whether or not she had gotten used to the doggie door! When I am in Dallas, I will for sure use them again. Thank you.”
“We couldn’t be happier. Maxine is everything we’ve hoped for in a dog-sitter. She gives our dog so much love, care, and attention! And she’s a delightful person to work with!!!”
“This was my first time I used Rover. I had to go out of town for a few days. Prior to leaving my Dog Dusty with Min, I took him over so she could meet him. When I first met Min, she was warm and friendly. When I was leaving, she immediately got acquainted with my dog and took him outside and walked him. I felt comfortable and knew my dog would be in good hands. While I was away, Min kept me informed several times a day about his eating and potty time. She gave him his medication daily and sent me Videos of Dusty playing with other dogs. Min did a great job caring for my dog. I will definitely be using her services in the near future!”
“Stephanie is really a wonderful pet sitter. She cared for my two toy poodles for 12 days, and both dogs had a great time. She kept me up to date on how they were doing every day. She kept them busy with time outside in her fenced yard plus play time inside. I never worried, and they were in perfect condition when I picked them up. I recommend Stephanie very highly.”
“Jamie was amazing! She sent me many pictures and videos of my dog throughout her stay. I know my dog was in great hands and that gave me peace of mind during my trip. I have already rebooked with her for next week!”
“Shannon was great to work with and communicated openly. She was very welcoming and easy going. I enjoyed our vacation without worry because I knew our dog was well cared for. Thanks Shannon!”
“Amalia was so easy to work with. She took good care of my dog, Bruno and was communicative throughout the whole stay. She updates me with pictures everyday and even went above and beyond to keep my faucets dripping when the weather got too cold. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their pet to be care for!!”
“We had a great experience with our pet staying with Mark. He communicated very well with us throughout the entire process, provided daily updates, and our pet enjoyed his stay with Mark so much that he didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend.”
“I needed someone to watch my baby for two days while I had to clean up my apartment! I needed some me time and had no idea who to call! When I found out about Rover I was nervous to even think about leaving my baby 😭. I spoke to a few people and narrowed it down to Karina because she was so sweet! Pick up and drop off was great and he got along with all the other dogs! Thank you so much Karina I will be using you again soon ❤️🐾”
“He always takes such great care of Kobe! He’s very reliable, communicates well, and always keeps me updated. I feel completely comfortable knowing my dog is in good hands whenever I’m away. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! They boarded my 4-month-old German Shepherd mix (about 50 lbs) and my 4-year-old Yorkie mix (about 7 lbs), which is not always an easy combination because they have very different needs and personalities. They did an amazing job making sure both dogs felt safe, comfortable, and loved. They were patient with my energetic puppy while also giving my older, smaller dog the attention and care he needed. I received updates and could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for throughout their stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and love they showed my pups, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their dogs!”
“Murray is always happy when we drop him off, and we are 100% confident that Lisa takes wonderful care of him. Thank you for providing great care for our dog and always being flexible with our crazy schedules. You have been a life saver on more than one occasion.”
“Sandy seemed to have a good time staying with Matthew. Matthew sent occasional updates and was easy to reach. He even stayed up for a late pick-up due to weather we ran into on our drive to pick our sweet Sandy!”
“Fernanda and Matthew were great with my dog! I love that they walked and played with him. They were quick to respond and sent daily photos. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a dog sitter!! :)”
“Wouldn’t leave our beloved Golden anywhere else. Amy is the best. You can see her love for animals the second you meet her. We are so lucky to have found Amy!”
“Brooke & Thomas were absolutely amazing with Milo! He was so happy with them and truly loved being there. They followed everything we asked and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It was so reassuring knowing Milo was in such good hands while we were away. Brooke sent us lots of pictures and videos throughout his stay and always kept us in the loop, which we really appreciated! We could tell Milo genuinely enjoyed his time with them and received so much love and attention. I highly recommend Brooke & Thomas to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Clyde and Nancy are amazing! We have used them multiple times and they are always our first choice for a sitter. Our dog always has a great time and doesn’t want to leave!”
“Roscoe & Tobie LOVE Lindsay, Brad and Freddie! They jumped out of the car to their front door as soon as we pulled up. We loved all the picture texts of Roscoe and Tobie playing in the park and having so much fun with their best friend Freddie! They are excited for their next vacation! Thanks again Lindsay & Brad! We appreciate it so much!”

“Min was wonderful and gave us peace of mind while we were away from our kitties! She was very communicative and provided us with pictures, videos, and updates on food/medicine/water/litter. The cats seemed to love her, and we will absolutely reach out again in the future 😊”
“Sebnem took amazing care of our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and provided lots of photo/video updates which really helped ease the stress of being away from our fur babies. I would 100% re-book with Sebnem for future cat sitting.”

“Karina did an awesome job! She was reliable and trustworthy coming to our home to check on our boys and play with them while we were out of town. We will be using her again!!”
“First time using a sitter for my cats, and we could not be more pleased! My cats that rarely ever come out for guests were letting her pick them up by day 2! She is obviously an animal lover. Will definitely use her again next time. 🧡”
“I was so impressed with Amalia's attention to detail and compassion for my baby, Fitty (my cat-son). Amalia made me feel so comfortable so I could really enjoy myself away. Thanks so much Amalia, you did a great job and I will be hiring you again!”
“Nichole is amazing !!! Our kitties love her! She has so much experience with animals and actually taught us about some things we could get for our pets that would alleviate some of the issues we were having. She is a loving and attentive caregiver who not only attended to everything we asked of her, but she went above and beyond with care for their eyes and was alert to things around our home that needed attention -like bringing in daily packages and turning on night lights/closing shades. We were so well informed every day as she sent so many photos. We have never seen our pets so content when we got home-it was if they didn't even realize we were gone because she spent so much time with them playing and brushing and FEEDING!!! We will be recommending her to everyone and will of keep her here with our pets every time we can get her. She is a treasure.”
“Jill is truly an angel from heaven. I could not have felt more comfortable knowing my little kitties were well taken care of. It worked magically. I highly recommend her. I was gone for 8 days.”
“Vicki gave extra special attention to Cinder Lou even though he would not come out of his hidey hole in the closet. She spoke to him and called him by name as well as giving his treats and bringing a toy for him. I know it made a difference that he knew someone was there talking to him and keeping his food and water fresh and his box clean. Vicki is loving, caring and intuitive lady who gives attention to every detail and I'm so lucky I found her!”

About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

In addition to caring for my own family’s cats over the years, I regularly watch and care for my friends’ cats while they’re away, including households with multiple cats. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and prefers a little extra patience, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. During each drop-in visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of playtime (if they’re interested!), and, of course, lots of affection and attention.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Oakridge
“From our meet-and-greet to the first actual stay, my dog *loved* being at Jason's! He and his wife are kind, love dogs, have a great house setup for doggy day care. My dog can be anxious in new settings, especially if I leave him, but he did great! As Jason said, "couldn't have gone better." I am SO grateful to have found him and will definitely be using their services a lot in the future. I'd give them 10 stars if I could ;)”

“Stephanie is very caring and attentive, I appreciated the communication and photos she provided while watching over my dog after her spay surgery. My dog was immediately comfortable with Stephanie, and that's rare. Will definitely be using her services again.”
“Leaving my dogs with someone else for the first time felt a lot like dropping your child off at school for the first day — I was nervous and hesitant about using Rover at first. But after an unexpected situation came up, I’m so grateful we found Van and her family. For three days, they took such amazing care of my dogs. I provided their food, and Van and her family made sure they were fed, able to play outside in the yard, and got plenty of rest and love. The updates, pictures, and videos throughout the stay gave me so much peace of mind and made my days at work so much easier knowing my babies were happy and comfortable. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to them again for future doggy daycare or boarding needs. Thank you again, Van and family, for treating my dogs like your own!”

About: Our pet family started almost by accident. Dark night, middle of busy intersection, an elderly dog was trying to navigate traffic. No tags, hungry and mostly blind. My husband and I were able to get him into car. We took him home, fed the little guy, cleaned him up, named him Charlie. He changed our lives. Since then, we’ve been blessed us with a number of dogs and cats throughout the years. Some have not been healthy and needed care and some are just seniors! Each one has brought us joy. After many years as interior designer, retired to part time this past September 2024. Now, to pursue hobbies and life’s next adventure! My schedule is built on the value I can bring to folks that need pet care, just like Gary and I have needed for our pets over the years. You should be able to have the personal freedom you need and not worry about your precious fur babies. They will be secure in my care. Expect pics to put your mind at ease! First and foremost fur babies are family. Boundaries are set. If staying in our home, we have a safe quiet (pet) bedroom /play area. We can play soothing, calming, music. Toys ready to throw, pillows, snuggle blankets ready for tucking and snuggling. Hugs and kiss are free and abundant! Let the fun and love begin! They quickly let us know what’s next! Play? Walk? Snuggle? Note: sleeping with your baby is possible, can be discussed. Their safety is the consideration.

Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize providing consistent, loving attention to the pets I care for. Each day is structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and quiet relaxation to ensure the pets feel happy and secure. I adapt my schedule to accommodate each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s administering medications, offering extended outdoor exercise, or just snuggling on the couch. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s a passion. My week revolves around creating a safe, happy environment for every pet I look after, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. I provide attentive and personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. In my home, I ensure a safe, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your dog feels like part of the family. This includes regular walks, feeding on schedule, plenty of playtime, and cuddles. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I maintain their daily routines, such as feeding, walking, and administering any medications. I respect your home, keeping it clean and secure while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Communication is key—I provide regular updates and photos to keep you at ease.
About: What sets me apart is that I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive to details, follow instructions carefully, and make sure pets get plenty of love, exercise, and attention while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication, or additional care. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping pets company, I’m able to give them the attention and care they deserve. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I love to spend time with dogs and cats just playing with them or even cuddling. I have a big backyard in my house with a pool so I love to run around with my dog there

“We had Megan come in the morning for a walk and in the evening for a check-in. This is the fourth time we have used Megan. We have always been happy with how she handles Finley Magee. We highly recommend Megan, and we will continue to have Megan watch Finley. This was the longest we spent time away from Finley Magee. It was hard for us to leave your 4-legged baby and I know it would be hard for our pup too. Megan put us at ease with her detailed progress reports during each visit. Megan’s knowledge, flexibility, compassion, and patience is incredible. By day 3, Finley was jumping around and excited to see Megan. We are very fortunate to have Megan help us with Finely Magee!”
About: I currently have 2 dogs - Morkies (Yorkies and Maltese mix). Pets have always been a part of my life. Family and friends tell me that I treat my dogs like they are people; I say that I just love them and they love me. You can be sure that I would love and care for your pets just as much. Please don't leave them home alone. Contact me and enjoy your time away from home - your pets will be in great hands with attentive care. My schedule is flexible which allows me the opportunity to be home during the day, and all nights. Please, no aggressive dogs. I will make sure that your dogs are comfortable and safe with me. I have an 8' fenced back yard, with security cameras. I enjoy being outside with your furbabies and will provide that extra level of security when they are running around in the backyard. I have hard floors for easy clean-up. I also provide extra blankets to keep your furbabies warm. I also have a separate eating area set up for your furbabies. I keep one extra crate, if needed when you bring your dog.
“Jill arrived just a few minutes early so she could start Dash's walk right on time. Our tail wagged welcomed her at the door and really enjoyed his walk. This was the first time Jill B. walked out dog and we will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jill!”
About: Paw-parent to the sweetest 4 year old Frenchton. As a former corporate employee in an office, I know the struggles of finding time to give dogs the attention and stimulation they deserve. I’m here to make your life a little easier and provide great care for your best friend. I’ve taken care of family pets since high school but became a first time paw-parent in 2020. My partner Johnny also helps me and he is home during the day since he works from home. I currently have lots of free time and can look over your pets almost any day of the week. Spring break is around the corner and my calendar is filling up fast. Please book soon for March dates. Furry friends will be taken out 4-5 times a day. Can accommodate to more times if needed. Pets will be kept inside the home for boarding at all times. (Potty breaks are done outside in the backyard which is fenced.) If walks are required they will only be done if the weather is safe for pets and me. My current pet Peppers will be at my home if you are boarding but in a completely different part of my home.
About: I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Over the years, I’ve cared for multiple pets at once and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. As a proud dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have completed two dog training courses (with my dogs), giving me a strong understanding of positive reinforcement, reading canine body language, and helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit while you’re away, or a full day of companionship, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dog. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I am currently working remotely and I have a flexible schedule for dog walking and pet sitting throughout the week. I can easily accommodate weekdays and weekends. I am happy to care for your pet/s either at my house or yours. If you prefer my home, I do have a fenced yard and my dog is animal-friendly.
About: I decided to join rover because of how much I love dogs. I have a big yard and 2 dogs of my own for your baby/babies to play with! I keep my dogs mainly inside during the day with the occasional trip to the back yard. I am home all day so that allows for lots of potty breaks and playtime (weather permitting). As a hobby, I foster puppies for a rescue so I am very patient and understanding of puppy behavior. I've been fostering since 2018 and have gained tons of knowledge on dog behaviors, training, health, etc! We spend most of our time in my dog room where I have tons of toys, treats, doggy puzzles, bones, etc. The perfect playground for your furry friend I am very flexable so if you have a special request just ask! Very excited to hangout with all your fur babies! Recently I took on a second job which requires me to be away from the house for about 5-6 hours a few times a week. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I will ask lots of questions and require a meeting before accepting a booking. I want to be sure everyone gets along and that all the dogs are comfortable. As for updates during a booking, I strive myself of being 100% honest. I want your dog to love coming here and feel at home with me. If they happen to be uncomfortable for any reason I will let you know! Nothing is more important than the right environment for your dog(s)! I am home during the day which allows for lots of playtime and potty breaks. I work away from the house usually 3 times a week for 5-6 hours but ensure the dogs get lots of play time before and after I leave. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I will ask lots of questions and require a meeting before accepting a booking. I want to be sure everyone gets along and that all the dogs are comfortable.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! They boarded my 4-month-old German Shepherd mix (about 50 lbs) and my 4-year-old Yorkie mix (about 7 lbs), which is not always an easy combination because they have very different needs and personalities. They did an amazing job making sure both dogs felt safe, comfortable, and loved. They were patient with my energetic puppy while also giving my older, smaller dog the attention and care he needed. I received updates and could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for throughout their stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and love they showed my pups, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their dogs!”

When I picked Ren up, he looked healthy, relaxed, and had clearly been treated like family. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and who genuinely cares about your pet, I highly recommend Van. Thank you again for taking such great care of Ren! 🐾”
