“Andrea was wonderful to Bruno & Wasabi!! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! She sent me pictures & videos daily while I was in Alaska for 12 days. We did a meet & greet at the park a couple of days before the trip because Wasabi (Boston Terrier) sometimes doesn't play well with other dogs, but it worked out great and Andrea treated them just like I do when I'm home. I highly recommend Andrea & I call on her again when I'm out of town.”

Thank Patricia and we definitely would use her services again. Highly recommended!”

About: I have always had a deep love for cats all of my life. I’ve rescued them from homelessness, stopped on roads to keep them from danger, and I’ve adopted from shelters. I’ve done lots of research on different breeds and personalities so I can provide the best care possible. The love received from a cat is special to me and it’s always earned. I’d appreciate the opportunity to be in your cats life as their caregiver when you are unable to be there.
“Suzanne was amazing. I feel like I completely lucked out by finding her. I was moving and my new house was not ready so she kept my kitty while I was making the change over.

I will definitely recommend her to friends and will definitely use her again when I travel. Thank you Suzanne for being so wonderful!”

She went above and beyond by staying longer than the 30 minutes required by Rover and took the time to play and entertain our cat which was a very nice surprise.You can definitely tell she loves and cares about animals.

“If I could recommend anyone for any dog service ever, it would be her! Amy is incredible and that’s an understatement. I contacted her last minute, she immediately responded and was flexible with scheduling. She’ll promptly communicate and addresses all concerns head on. She even goes out of her way to comfort my dog and ensure his needs are met. I could tell she made an effort to routinely relieve him as needed as he never rushed out of the door upon pick up to relieve himself- a great indicator that she truly pays attention! My dog is always so excited when we arrive in the mornings for day care and easily made friends with her dog within minutes. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

About: Hi there, as a stay-at-home furry mom who works part-time and from home, I have ample time to play with and shower your fur baby with love, just like I do with mine. My partner also works from home, and my retired mom lives with us, so your baby will never be alone. There will always be someone in the same room with your baby, most likely sitting next to them. =) My animal experience: I’ve had dogs since elementary school and have never been without a canine companion since. Throughout high school and college, I expanded my pet care experience by babysitting various animals for church members, including dogs, rabbits, mini pigs, and birds. I also volunteered at the local animal’s shelter for 18 months when I was in my late twenties. I have had experience with puppies, senior dogs, and handicapped dogs in the past as well, so I am confident in my ability to care for them. Also, my partner is experienced in dog training and therapy work, and we currently share our home with two rescued Chihuahuas. We are both well versed in medication administration and wound care. Our top priority is to provide a safe and positive experience for your furry baby while you are away. We ensure a secure, clean, and organized environment where your pet will feel relaxed, happy, and protected. * For new Rover customers - please use promo code ANNEQ60631 for a sweet $20 discount! =) Meet and Greet/Pick-up and Drop-off: To ensure everyone’s safety, especially the fur babies, only one pet parent will be allowed inside the house at a time. All fur children must be leashed upon arrival and throughout the Meet and Greet and Drop-off. *Please note that Meet and Greet for non-referrals will be outdoor first for everyone's safety. Please bring all the required documentation to the Meet and Greet* Drop-off time: Anytime after 9 am. Exceptions may be made in certain situations. Please inform me in advance. I have a spacious fenced yard where your fur baby can romp and play alongside my two friendly Chihuahuas if they like. There's also plenty of room inside the house for your baby to roam freely, just like mine. Your baby is welcome on the couch and in my bedroom. My retired mom will pitch in and shower your baby with love, attention, and care as well. She sleeps upstairs and can sleep with your baby if they prefer to be away from other dogs. *There are security cameras outside and inside the house, recording 24 hours a day to ensure everyone’s safety.*

Whether at my home or yours, I make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family.

I often keep my brothers 3 dogs, one is an Australian shepherd/golden retriever, one is a mut and the other is a mini Australian shepherd. My family has always loved dogs and the joy they bring! I’d love to get to know your animals and help your family out. I am currently a stay at home to 4 kids. 3 of my kids are in school so I will have my youngest with me in the stroller as long as other dogs are comfortable being around kids as she remains buckled in the stroller :) I have 1 dog, Wendi, and have had her since she was 2 weeks old. I bottle fed her for 2 weeks since her mom got ran over. She loves to go on walks, play fetch outside and go to the park with all of her human siblings!

“Lily is wonderful! When she came for a meet and greet, she was prepared to take notes and find out all there was to know about our dog. Very sweet and great energy that my dog really appreciates. Great communication as well.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life. I’ve always been the one in the family to take care of all their needs and be the most loving. I’ve watched many friends dogs as well when they are out of town. Am a full time student and don’t have any other jobs besides Rover since school is my priority. Which is why I love how Rover easily can fit into my schedule. I will groom, feed, and play with every animal. I will clean litter boxes/ take dog out to potty or walks. I will make sure they are happy and satisfied while their owner is away and treat every animal like my own pet.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and can't imagine a home without one. I currently share mine with a Doberman and a German Shepherd/Husky mix, I've had both since they were puppies and raised them through every stage, so I'm comfortable with dogs of any size, energy level, or temperament, from calm lap dogs to high-energy pups. I've also taken care of friends' dogs over the years, so I'm used to adapting to different personalities and routines. I'm patient, active, and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that's a gentle stroll or a long walk to burn off energy. No job is too big or too small. I love keeping owners involved so you can expect photo and video updates, quick responses, and a daily recap during walks or stays, along with the flexibility to chat before booking. My schedule is open, so I'm also available for last-minute bookings. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they are part of my own family. I don't just see this as another booking on my calendar, I see your pets as family members that deserve patience, attention and care. *Schedule* My weekly schedule is pretty flexible and open, which means I get to be present, whether that's a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping your pet company so they're not alone all day. I am able to adjust my routine to meet each pets specific needs. I love that I get to make dogs feel cared for, not just checked in on. *Safety* You can rest assured your pet will be treated just like my own. I believe in open, transparent communication and will keep you updated regularly on how they're doing while you're away. I'm attentive and careful, and I'll follow your pet's care exactly the way you want it, whether that means medications, exercise, or plenty of cuddle time. I'm committed to keeping their routine consistent, from feeding times to daily walks to playtime, because I know familiarity helps pets feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority, and my goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. Here is what I am offering (flexible on timing) 1. 30-minute dog walks: Perfect for burning off energy, getting some fresh air, and breaking up their day when you're busy or away. Great for a quick potty break, or an outdoor stretch. 2. Overnight dog sitting: I stay overnight with your fur baby so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care, meals, playtime, and cuddles. 3. Meet-and-greet before booking: I'm always happy to meet you and your dog beforehand (in person or over video call) so you can see how we get along, ask any questions, and feel completely comfortable before your first booking.

“Gina was AMAZING! Great communication, quick response for availability, flexible and helped with updating trip plans. We had a meet and greet in public & instantly felt comfortable! She and family are so welcoming and I truly felt my pups were away on vacation as well lol. Received loads of photo and video updates with the cutest messages from our pups’ pov 🥰. We will definitely be a regular customer ! Please give her a try, you won’t regret it!”
“Ms. Gabriela was amazing at looking after my Zoe; she was always attentive, sending us updates and photos of our little girl. She is an excellent caregiver—100% recommended.”
“Andrea was wonderful to Bruno & Wasabi!! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! She sent me pictures & videos daily while I was in Alaska for 12 days. We did a meet & greet at the park a couple of days before the trip because Wasabi (Boston Terrier) sometimes doesn't play well with other dogs, but it worked out great and Andrea treated them just like I do when I'm home. I highly recommend Andrea & I call on her again when I'm out of town.”
“Joanna & Brian took wonderful care of my dog Luthor. They asked several questions and genuinely care for your pet. I received consistent updates and pictures that”

She texted at least 2 times a day with pictures and descriptions of their activities. Dante really enjoyed his time with her and we felt secure that he was in a safe place. Thank Patricia and we definitely would use her services again. Highly recommended!”

“As a first-time user of Rover with a pet who has been cared for by the same boarding facility for the past nine years, I was a bit apprehensive of taking her to someone else, but I knew it was time for a change. I had no doubt that my Missy would receive adequate care; I was more concerned about whether she would fit in with her new host family. America did an amazing job of helping me through the process and making me very comfortable leaving Missy with her. America sent videos and status updates throughout our stay and was very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times. I'm looking forward to booking with America again, and I recommend her highly!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alison. From booking to boarding, everything went seamlessly. She was responsive, provided updates on our furry love. She was also able to accommodate our drop off and pick up time, which we greatly appreciated. Great service overall!! We’ll definitely book her again.”
“From the moment we arrived, Truman felt completely at ease—she went right up to Janna with no hesitation! It was clear that she and her husband had a calm, welcoming energy that dogs can sense right away. Throughout the stay, they kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell that our baby was relaxed and happy the entire time. We were at ease as well knowing she is in good hands. They also accommodated our last minute concerns and requests. I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“I had a great experience and would highly recommend Shang! He took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and videos, which I really appreciated.

I would definitely use their services again!”
