“Nick + Ashley have been great + my dog Oakley had a good time at their home while I was away. They have connected with me with photos of Oakley and advised that she was “at home” while staying with them which is wonderful to hear for a dog parent!”
“As always, Selena and her family is the one I trust for the care of my sweet Zoey. Thank you for everything Selena and family. Happy holidays and I wish the 2026 brings you tons of smiles and adventures! Thank you again 🙏”
“Would give 10 stars if I could. Sarah is amazing! Someone who truly loves all animals and cares for each one as if they are her own. In 9 years of Rover sitters, I’ve never felt this comfortable leaving Lily with someone. Sarah sends routine photos and updates and her sense of humor makes each one that much better. Thank you Sarah! Lily has found her forever second home ❤️”
“Sabri and her great family has done a fantastic job taking care of my 9 months old puppy. She provided me daily updates with photos and videos so I had no worries about my puppy. My dog was well fed and excecised and healthy and happy as always. I would definitely go back to them if I need to board my puppy again and strongly recommend Sabri to anyone else”
“We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She is very communicative and our pup had the best time (we could tell from all the pics we were sent)! Definitely recommend Layla watching your dog :)”
“Destiny and her husband were really nice setting up a meet and greet and then taking care of Thor. He had such a good time during our first meeting, Thor was super excited the day I dropped him off. I got photos and videos, as well as an update on his day when I picked him up. I highly recommend them and I absolutely will leave my pup with them again if I need to.”
“Alex was amazing! He took excellent care of our pup. Upon meeting him, all nerves about leaving our pup with him melted away. He is great with energetic pups and sends multiple pictures a day. He will be the first person I check with next time I go out of town. I cannot recommend him enough.”
“I normally don’t do reviews but when I do it means you will always have my service. Let me just start off by saying how outgoing, punctual, consistent, and caring Johnathan was/is! I contacted him last minute to babysit my fur son and was actually hesitant to leave him but once i saw the pictures and videos he sent I was at ease. Kobe is a very active dog and will show if he’s uncomfortable around u but the moment he sensed Johnathan I knew he was gone be ok. I will look no further when I need someone to look after him. He have my business anytime. Thanks again John! You’re the best.”
“I can’t say enough good things about the way Kathleen took care of my dog Bear. The environment she provides is clean and safe inside and out. She loves and understands dogs and provides for their individual needs. Bear was happy for the whole five days he was there.”
“Lexie was fantastic! My dog loved her and he felt comfortable from the moment he walked in the door. She made my dog feel welcome and was very accommodating to his needs. Lexie was very quick to respond and kept me updated during his stay. Will definitely use her again and would be great with all pets!”
“Geneva helped us out last minute with our two senior dogs. They did great and seemed very happy. She was responsive and sent pictures. I will definitely rebook!”
“Thank you so much, Araselly, for taking such wonderful care of Copper. This was my first time leaving him with anyone other than his vet’s boarding, and you made it feel completely natural. You were so caring, and I could tell Copper felt loved and safe — like he was with family. Your updates and photos showed how happy he was, and it made my trip so much more relaxing. Knowing he was in exceptional hands meant everything to me. Thank you a billion times over!”
“It can be scary leaving your pup with someone else but I know mine was in great care with Carolyn. Got constant updates and puppy came back exhausted - which I know is a sign of great care and play time.”
“Victoria was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time we’d ever been away from our sweet girl, and she made us feel completely at ease. We loved the daily pictures and updates—it truly felt like Estes was away at camp having the best time! If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your fur baby as if they were her own, I can’t recommend Victoria enough. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Rob and Mary are amazing people, love dogs and treated my as their own.super accommodating when we asked to extend our pups stay at last minute.my fur baby became fast friends with theirs, and loved the walks and outdoor romps he got to enjoy. Even better is the updates and pictures I received during my vacation that made me smile and let me know he was in good hands. I highly recommend Mary and Rob and our Lumpy will be returning next trip.”
“Daniella was incredibly kind and accommodating, especially on short notice. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated with check-ins and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again.”

About: Every cat has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one on their own terms. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful, quiet and independent, or shy and cautious around new people, I’ll provide patient, compassionate care that respects their comfort level. I’m happy to engage energetic cats with interactive play and enrichment, while also giving reserved cats the space and gentle reassurance they need to feel safe. I follow your cat’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, litter box care, medications if needed, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep your cat relaxed, comfortable, and cared for in the familiar surroundings of home. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your feline family member is in caring, reliable hands.
“We couldn’t have been happier with the care Lauren provided for our cat Percy while we were away. Knowing he was in good hands made our trip much more enjoyable. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for cat, and we’re so grateful for her help.”

“How helpful to have Dalya respond to a last-minute request!!! We are so grateful for her ability to help on such short-notice. She was quick to respond, she was very polite, and even our scaredy-cat warmly greeted her.. quite a good sign! We’d definitely work with her again.”
“Jacob is amazing - TOP TIER! He went above and beyond while he cared for our senior cat Amelie at our home. She has very specific feeding needs since she's older, and Jacob made sure she was eating. Jacob kept her company and brushed her even with her "don't touch me" cattitude. And he provided a BONUS with taking some very awesome photos of her. Jacob is incredibly friendly and trustworthy - highly recommend him for taking care of your pet(s)!”
“After our previous Rover sitter relocated, my partner and I were pleasantly surprised and very relieved to find Suzanne. She already had such extensive experience and so many glowing reviews, we were quite confident in seeing if Suzanne could become our new fav sitter…and she is! ? We have 2 middle-aged cats, who have some co-habitation struggles, and one is on a special diet. Suzanne followed all of our directions precisely, and helped quell our self-conscious, “new sitter” anxieties. She was very gentle and patient with our kitties, and is an all-around personable and thoughtful individual ? I’d recommend her to any of my animal-loving, pet guardian friends and family. Thank you, Suzanne!!”
“Taylor Jon was great with my cats he sent pictures and responded to every message. I told him my older cat gets anxious when I leave he made sure to give her extra attention. He cleaned up after them which was nice after traveling. I would book again with Taylor he was great with my cats and my house looked good when I came home.”
“Meagan is great!! She made friends and hung out with my kitties. Always made sure litter was clean and food and water were filled. Her report cards were thorough (hilarious) and she included plenty of photos. We appreciate her!! This is the second time we’ve used her and I’ll book her again next time!!”
“Mya was so wonderful and very professional! She updated me throughout my cat’s stay with pictures and videos. This was my first time using her and I’m so glad I did because now I have someone trustworthy and reliable to watch my fur babies! Would recommend!”
“She sent tons of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even took the time to check on my stray kitties and send pictures of them, despite not needing to. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treated my babies like her own. She was kind, caring, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! ❤️🐾”

“Mya did such an amazing job as always with my Mina! We usually have a daycare during the workweek that Mina goes too but they were closed for the holiday. I had to be at work in 30 minutes & reached out to Mya. Mya was an hour and 30 minutes away from my home and without question drove over to go pick her up from my house. Her dedication to taking care of animals is unmatched & we’re so happy to have her as our sitter🩷”
“Sarah was really great. We had a meet and greet. My puppy immediately liked her and her dogs. My pup stayed with her overnight and had a really great time. He received plenty of attention and playtime. I would absolutely use Sarah again and highly recommend her.”
“Brenda was perfect for my pup! I was in town just for weekend, yet prior have research on Rover the best fit for my dog while we were busy during the day. Brenda was exactly what I was looking for. She was wonderful with my dog. I knew he was well cared for as he was calm and happy when I picked him up. He had playtime, walks and adequate quiet time. Thank you Brenda for making our weekend so delightful.”
About: I have been grooming and pet sitting for 16 years. I own and operate my own dog grooming salon (Motown Mutts) . I regularly pull and foster from local shelters and have experience with frightened, nervous and special needs dogs. I have a ton of references and have quickly earned a reputation for providing excellent care in my area. My children were raised doing this and dogs that don’t normally love kids love mine because they speak the language. The dogs are very rarely left alone. My daughter is an LVT and handy for emergencies when I call. I can also groom them with advanced notice during their stay. We love our pet sitters like our own and become very attached to them. My babies usually run to my door and can’t wait to get inside. I am certified in emergency canine CPR and therapeutic massage therapy. The dogs will go to work with me daily unless I find the daycare experience stressful to them (older or nervous pups). I also have employees at my salon so they are available in emergencies The pups will be my pet while with me, we wake up at 4 am, have our meals and then head to the salon for the day to play. I don’t do a lot of playtime outside in the summer during the hottest times but we exercise in the evenings when it’s cooler. If there is an emergency I have staff willing to help out. I prefer no Sunday pick ups or drop offs because that’s family day
“Both Harley Quinn and us love Monica. HQ gets excited to jump out and head straight into Monica's house. Monica is kind, responsive and takes the best pics of Harley to share with us. A gem!”
“Layla is so sweet and is very easy to work with. She gives good updates with photos. My friend she enjoyed his time with her and came home happy! I would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with multiple dogs, one of which I took care of myself once I was older. I had dog sat for friends and even teachers before. I have volunteered at dog shelters to walk and take care of dogs. I love all dogs and dogs love me. I am currently unemployed, searching for a job. I live in an apartment and am able to board a dog at any time of the week. I have room to play with them and for them to rest. My building has dog-walking areas and, in general, is located in a walkable area for dogs.
About: I got my very own dog when I was 10 years old. Domino was a dalmatian and really just set the ball rolling for my love of all dogs! I have had at least one dog since, the most at one time was 4! We had Chihuahua named Pancho, Boxer named Pepper, Pit bull named Petey and a foster Mix named Ziggy! I would adopt all the dogs if I had enough space. I have dog sat for friends and thought this would be a great way to keep Hobbs social while still being an only child :) I currently work remotely and am available for 24/7 care in my home. I have one kennel but space for you to bring your own if your baby is more comfortable there. However, this is a dog friendly home so pups are of course allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly boxer mix that LOVES all other dogs and thinks everyone is a friend! We go on short walks in the morning and evening while it's not so hot! During the day I always accompany potty breaks and encourage play time. We have plenty of toys, balls and bones that Hobbs loves to share.
About: I have had a lifetime of experience having pets as well as volunteering & working for the Humane Society. For 10 years I fostered domestic pets & for 5 years I worked from my home for Texas Wildlife rehabilitation. I currently housesit & dog walk in my childhood neighborhood & have for the same family for 3 years. Im open to helping other families tend their animal babies while at work or on vacation. I love animals & helping families with a trusted pet Nanny service! I make sure to keep water fresh & clean, foods with accurate amount & frequency depending on you or your pets dietary needs. I provide plenty of one on one play & incorporate positive reinforcement in with playtime! I love to take dogs & cats if needed, on walks in safe areas & on safe routes (not by high traffic roads) in your neighborhood to help them with muscle memory on a safe route in case they ever needed that. I encourage animals to feel free & loved by playing a variety of games with them & keeping them focused on specific scratching posts, toys & good behaviors that make their bond with their own family healthier & more fulfilling for everyone!
“Ernest accepted a last-minute booking for Mylo and did an outstanding job. From the moment we met him, it was clear how attentive and observant he is. He quickly picked up on Mylo’s personality and routine, noting that he’s less interested in constant play and prefers to relax, nap, and simply hang out during the day—which is absolutely accurate. We were especially impressed by the little details. Mylo finished all of his food while in Ernest’s care, and Ernest kept us updated throughout the stay. What stood out most was how gently he handled Mylo when he was hesitant about being separated from us. Instead of pulling or dragging him along, Ernest calmly picked him up and made the transition as stress-free as possible. Moments like that show someone who genuinely enjoys and cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mylo with Ernest and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”
“Molly and Trey took great care of Gambit for us! He came home happy, and we got a super cute pic of him hanging out with their sweet dog. They were very easy to communicate with and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely have them watch Gambit for us again!”
“Im so grateful for Geneva! I was in a bind last minute and I reached out to her. She responded so quickly to my request and watched my Ralphie for a whole day! She has a very cute home with a great backyard for him to play in. Ralphie was in great spirits when I picked him up and slept so soundly when we came home. I kniw he had such a great day with her! Thank you Geneva 😊 I've got her booked for next weekend already and I know Ralphie is excited too. Thank you for taking care of my boy 😌 I know he's in good hands with her ❤️”
About: I'm available all day to your furry friend! I am a stay at home wife with a consistent schedule and patient with all types of personalities. Being Rover, I've had experience from helping a mama cat give birth to her babies to senior dog care with medication. I love what I do and grateful to help owners feel at ease while they are away from their pets. I require that your pet be flea free and on a monthly flea and tick prevention. Make sure all immunizations are up to date. A clean pet is a happy pet! :) My priority in the morning is to make sure everybody is fed. (Not like they let me forget since they are the ones who poke my face to wake me up). I make sure the water bowl is clean and filled up. I am a stay-at-home wife so your furry friends will have all my attention. I'm usually cleaning, baking, cooking, gardening, or going on strolls/gym time. My husband is also a HUGE animal lover so your baby/babies will be getting 2x the love when he gets home. Usually at night, it's game time, movie time, or just hanging around with the cats. The cats usually always sleep with us, but if not, they sleep on the couch. I live in a three bedroom house with a big backyard, but one of the rooms is no pet allowed. My husband and I have a shaded patio that is gated with chicken wire so our cat friends can also enjoy the outside. The patio is separated with a gate-door, so if we are hosting a dog they can enjoy at the same time with no problems. The extra room we have allows our guest/s to have their own room with their own window. They are free to walk through the house and make themselves comfortable.

Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.

“Suzanne was so helpful with my dog Meech while I was recovering from an injury and unable to walk him. She was quick and professional and had no issues handling some of his reactivity on the leash. Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”
“Thank you for fitting us in for a week worth of daily walks at the last minute. I appreciate your good communications and punctuality. Brice enjoyed her walks with you this week. We will definitely book with you in the future!! Highly recommended...”

About: I’ve owned animals of many kinds since I was born, and been a primary caretaker since I was about 10! I’ve been trusted to care for animals of every age - from rambunctious puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little more patience - and every size, whether it be a giant dog or a fragile kitten. I understand the importance of individual care, so I am ready to learn all about your animals and adapt to their needs.

I hope to make every pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible while in my care, and will make sure to keep you updated with pictures!

Saturdays I am not available for walks, but I am happy to sit through the weekend if needed! While I don’t offer sitting in my home due to my own dogs, I am confident I can adapt to whatever routine your animals are used to in your home.

I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾

About: I have had cats as pets my whole life and dogs as an adult. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years to dogs from puppies to seniors. Times have ranged from weekends to a month.

All animals deserve the best treatment and love we can give them I have been in education for 20 years teaching art and currently an administrator for the districts Fine Arts Department.

In 9 years of Rover sitters, I’ve never felt this comfortable leaving Lily with someone. Sarah sends routine photos and updates and her sense of humor makes each one that much better. Thank you Sarah! Lily has found her forever second home ❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She is very communicative and our pup had the best time (we could tell from all the pics we were sent)! Definitely recommend Layla watching your dog :)”
“Alex was amazing! He took excellent care of our pup. Upon meeting him, all nerves about leaving our pup with him melted away. He is great with energetic pups and sends multiple pictures a day. He will be the first person I check with next time I go out of town. I cannot recommend him enough.”
“I normally don’t do reviews but when I do it means you will always have my service. Let me just start off by saying how outgoing, punctual, consistent, and caring Johnathan was/is! I contacted him last minute to babysit my fur son and was actually hesitant to leave him but once i saw the pictures and videos he sent I was at ease. Kobe is a very active dog and will show if he’s uncomfortable around u but the moment he sensed Johnathan I knew he was gone be ok. I will look no further when I need someone to look after him. He have my business anytime. Thanks again John! You’re the best.”
“Lexie was fantastic! My dog loved her and he felt comfortable from the moment he walked in the door. She made my dog feel welcome and was very accommodating to his needs. Lexie was very quick to respond and kept me updated during his stay. Will definitely use her again and would be great with all pets!”
“Thank you so much, Araselly, for taking such wonderful care of Copper. This was my first time leaving him with anyone other than his vet’s boarding, and you made it feel completely natural. You were so caring, and I could tell Copper felt loved and safe — like he was with family. Your updates and photos showed how happy he was, and it made my trip so much more relaxing. Knowing he was in exceptional hands meant everything to me. Thank you a billion times over!”
“It can be scary leaving your pup with someone else but I know mine was in great care with Carolyn. Got constant updates and puppy came back exhausted - which I know is a sign of great care and play time.”
“Rob and Mary are amazing people, love dogs and treated my as their own.super accommodating when we asked to extend our pups stay at last minute.my fur baby became fast friends with theirs, and loved the walks and outdoor romps he got to enjoy. Even better is the updates and pictures I received during my vacation that made me smile and let me know he was in good hands. I highly recommend Mary and Rob and our Lumpy will be returning next trip.”
“Daniella was incredibly kind and accommodating, especially on short notice. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated with check-ins and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Andrea and Jerry are the best! They sent so many photos and videos of Sophie and I could tell she was having the best time with them! I was able to relax on my vacation and know that my pup was well taken care of :)”
“Firstly, Crystal was incredibly accommodating when it comes to pick up and drop off times. She was transparent and very quick to respond. Secondly, she took AMAZING care of my furry guy!! She sent plenty of fun updates and made him feel right at home 🤗 Thirdly, she was so kind and made me feel reassured that Maddox would be well taken care of overnight. I will absolutely book with her again and I know my pup will be excited to see his new friends!!”
“Brenda was awesome with our little Lola. She sent me videos and kept me updated all the time. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands. Thanks again Brenda !!!”
“Krystal takes such good care of my dog. Communication is great and I can tell Mylo really loves her. She gives him lots of exercise and he looks super happy, he always looks like he’s having a blast with her.”
“We took our dog Carlie for an overnight stay with Ericka and Robert. We certainly were pleased with their hospitality and they took great care of our Labrador Retriever. We anticipate using their services again in the future. Thank you.”
