“Michelle was perfect to watch my puppy all week! She was so kind and sweet to my dog. She would even send photos of her everyday while we were gone and is very communicative. 10/10!”
“I would give Heather 10 stars if it were possible! We’ve boarded our dog on several occasions and it’s always been a tough experience because she doesn’t eat very well and has seemed depressed while we’re gone. Our experience with Heather was the complete opposite; our dog was content and happy the entire time, something we didn’t think was possible while boarding 😅. Heather was very communicative and sent photos and videos of our dog every day while we were away. Her facility is also very clean and well kept, and feels warm and inviting as opposed to the large dog crates we’re accustomed to with other boarders. Heather obviously loves dogs and we were so grateful that she took such good care of our dog while we were gone for 10 days. I can’t recommend her and her services highly enough, this was hand down the BEST boarding experience we and our dog have ever had.”
“She was so good with my boy!! My dog is a lil toot but she had no problem catering to his special perks! She frequently sent me pictures and updates which made me feel 10x better being miles away! My dog felt very comfortable and safe at her house and he was always was able to exert his puppy energy! Highly recommended her as a reliable sitter ❤️❤️”
“Thank you for the last minute help taking in our pups, Ashley did an awesome job our dogs seemed to get along with her dog and family, and looked happy and relaxed. We appreciated the consistent and open communication! Thanks again!”
“Angelo has become my first choice for a sitter for my boys. I don't worry about them at all when they stay with him. He is fantastic at staying in touch and I feel like he takes his responsibility seriously while enjoying the time he spends with his charges. Thank you, Angelo!!!”
“Angela is the perfect dog Grandmother!! She will love on your dogs like they are her on. She keeps you updated with pictures and videos. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“Brownie’s stay with Caitlyn was fabulous! It was our first time to leave her with anyone, and she can be an anxious dog. But when we visited before the stay, we could see that the home’s vibe is very relaxed, and they said she was snuggly with them, and good with the other dogs. We really appreciate such good care!”
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Cassie and Ace with Lori. She was so nice and convenient that I didn’t feel like I was a burden. I will definitely be using Lori again!”
“Joel & Becky took great care of our dogs. It was our dogs first overnight away from home and they were well cared for and comforted by Joel & Becky. We will definitely ask for them if we need someone to watch them again.”
“We were very happy with our arrangement for Dana to take care of our dog while we went out of town. We communicated and met prior to the date so that our dogs could meet each other. My dog really took to her and I could tell he was very well taken care of while we were gone. It was very nice to receive the daily updates and pictures that she sent while he was in her care. I felt very confident that he was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again and would highly recommend her if you need your pet taken care of while you need to be away. ”
“It was my first time boarding my dog, Sneakers with any sitter, but I'm so happy that my initial choice was with Vivian and her son, Jonah! Sneakers absolutely loved his stay with them to the point that he thought he found his newfound home. They treated him like family and made him feel so comfortable. During my travels from across state lines and running into traffic here and there, Vivian was exceptional with accommodating pick-up times. She and her son are sweet and kind people who truly love dogs! She sent me updated photos of Sneakers within every hour or so. She made me feel reassurance knowing that Sneakers was actively enjoying himself. Vivian and Jonah are two people you can trust to take care of your furry loved ones. Thank you again!”
“Susan was fantastic in all aspects of Baylie's stay. The meet and greet in the backyard was so much more comfortable for my fur baby to get to know Susan and her pups. Susan truly treated Baylie like one of her own and sent me daily pictures while I was away. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again as she truly is a loving dog person and your dog will be safe and comfortable in her care.”
“Andrea took great care of our two dogs. She has a black lab who gets along with most other dogs. My dogs and hers wore each other out playing in the backyard. I also appreciate that Andrea or her husband are at home during the day.”
“Amanda was great! She was super communicative and took great care of our dog. We got pictures and updates daily. This was our first time using rover.com, and we will never go back to a boarding facility again! (Hopefully Amanda is free!)”
“Mia was very flexible and took care of my two animals, treating them as royalty. I had to extend my request a bit longer and she was able to accommodate. Received multiple updates during their stay as well as pictures, so I could definitely tell they were in great hands. Hands down, one of the best pet sitters I have dealt with since using this platform. THANK YOU, Mia B!!!”
“She took care of our puppy on such short notice (literally within minutes at 8am). Had him all day and night and we just scheduled for him to stay another night. Roki is so nice, keeps you updated, and makes us very comfortable while she watches our “son” lol highly recommend”

“Talisa was amazing with my cats. She took such great care of them and from the pictures she sent it seems like they absolutely adore her! Great communication and always on time. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley did an amazing job for our two dogs. One of our dogs is older and a rescue with a couple of quirks. Ashley went out of her way to make her feel comfortable and included. 10 out of 10, would highly recommend.”
“Thanks for watching my cats on short notice. Dana was able to stop by for a meet and greet just a couple days after I reached out to her. Her visits were on time and she took good care of my pets.”

“Tatum was great. She worked with me to get my senior kitty, who is a picky eater, to eat as much as possible while we were gone. She was very responsive whenever I messaged her. I would definitely have her take care of my baby again.”
“Kathleen is amazing! She was warm and loving towards my babies. I felt so comfortable that she was taking great care of my boy while we were away. I loved how accessible she was and that she would send me pictures of my baby every day. This was my first experience using this app and I have been raving about it to all my friends with pets. I would highly recommend both Kathleen and Rover. To actually feel comfortable leaving my fur babies while on vacation is priceless.”
“Evan was fantastic! Super kind, detailed in her daily assessment of my cat, and left my place just as she found it. My cat really enjoyed his time with her as well!!! Super thankful for Evan!”
“I can't recommend Sarah highly enough for her exceptional cat-sitting services! While we were on vacation, she took wonderful care of our two cats, Sha’Re and Lucy, and kept us updated every step of the way. Her communications were thorough and filled with lovely details, including pictures and videos, that made us feel at ease. She cleaned their litter boxes, checked their food feeders, and refilled their water fountain regularly. It was such a relief to know that our kitties were well-fed and hydrated! Sha’Re and Lucy clearly adored her. She mentioned how Sha’Re was getting braver, even letting her pet her and rub against her legs while purring! It warmed my heart to hear that she played with the laser pointer and enjoyed some zoomies around the house. Lucy, on the other hand, was a bit more reserved but appreciated her treats and some gentle pets. Not only did she take great care of the cats, but she also tidied up around the house, emptying the Roomba and ensuring everything was secure before leaving. She even brought in a delivery, making sure it was safe while we were away. Overall, Sarah exceeded our expectations and truly treated our cats like her own. If you're looking for someone reliable and caring to look after your pets, look no further—she's fantastic! Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away!”

“Rena was great. Tucker my kitty just loved her. She is reliable and attentive to him and followed the instructions I left. When I met Rena, we talked cats and she is definitely a cat lover, Tucker could tell. I highly recommend her to watch over your fur babies. I will definitely call her again when I have to go out of town.”
“Jesika did a great job taking care of my two kitties. She was very easy to communicate with and was very detailed and thorough. I appreciated the pictures she sent and my cats were doing great when I came back!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Santa Fe
“Ariel was the best! Not only did she answer and accept my last minute request at 2:00 a.m. for the same day at 10:00 a.m. in MINUTES, when plans changed, and I asked for my 5 month old puppy to stay for an extra hour and a half, she was more than willing. She provided constant updates and photos throughout the day, and kept my boy entertained (he was exhausted that night- haha). She is truly a life saver. Thank you endlessly, Ariel. Truly! You're the best :)”
“Nya is amazing! I was in town for a week for work and needed help with my sweet, smart, & slightly skittish little dog. She watched him for 3 of my longest & busiest work days. She responded quickly to messages. It became clear from our conversations that she takes training seriously (with her own pup) and understands the value of exercise & play in building trust and giving my pup a full and joyous day. Nya is so sweet & patient, which is exactly what my pup needed. If I’m ever back in the West Palm Beach areas Nya will be my first call. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with taking care of both cats and dogs. I currently have two dogs that are spoiled rotten. They rely on me to bathe, feed, groom, walk, and play with them. I trained my dogs as puppies and have taken care of my own senior cats and dogs throughout the years. I have taken care of my sisters dogs and friends dogs while they were out of town. I have a very flexible schedule as I work from home mostly. I have plenty of free time during the week or weekends to play with or board your babies. I have a fenced in backyard and have two small dogs that love to play with others. I can crate your fur babies if needed.
“Bear had so much fun and treats during her stay with Thi. Thi and her husband is such a lovely, caring and passionate couple. They took wonderful pictures of Bear that really impressed me. She updated me everything that happened during Bear’s stay, this proves her dedication for caring and loving Bear. I totally can trust my furbaby with Thi and her husband and will be a repeated client in the future.”

About: My family and I have cared for dogs, cats, rats, gerbils, and many more animals in our home and in other family member’s homes. Animals are part of our daily lives as we have three dogs, four cats, chickens, rabbits, and a turkey! They are super special to us and we treat them like our kids. We would like to open our home to other dogs and cats so you can take a vacation without worrying about your fur babies. We will walk them, play with them and love on them like we do our own. If your fun baby has special needs we can accommodate them and take good care of them as they should be. No fur baby will be left behind. We look forward in meeting you and your fur baby! I am home all day and have a routine with my own animals so your pet will fit right in with us and we will make it work! I have leashes for dogs who may not listen so well and three acres they can run free on but unfortunately no fence. I have other animals your pet can play with. I can crate them if needed as well.
“The Newsom family was the best that could have happened for my little Chase for day care. He had an awesome time over there and we are so sad that it was his official last day yesterday. I’m so thankful for their lovely and caring minds! Chase will miss you a lot!”
“Michelle was very nice and had great communication. She sent many pics and videos, which I love. My dog is very energetic and can be a lot and seemed to get along with her dog. Definitely would recommend”

“Mia was great! I had never had someone walk my dog and was a little nervous. She made me feel super comfortable. She took some great pictures along the way! We will be using her again!”

About: I’ve been on Rover for about a year now, but I’ve been caring for pets much longer through word-of-mouth and outside bookings. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—from calm seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, crate training, and giving pets the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I’m a college student taking classes online and living at home with my parents, so my schedule is very open and flexible considering I try to do this pretty full time! That means I can provide walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays with lots of availability—especially during the weekdays. Your pet won’t be waiting long for care or attention! The only places I really travel to during bookings are to other drop ins and the gym but I can ensure not to be gone longer than 4-5 hours! I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I always follow any rules or instructions you leave, keep your pet’s routines consistent, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. I’m very mindful of safety—whether that’s locking up properly, keeping pups secure on walks, or making sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in 6th grade. I would go around in my spare time and ask my neighbors if I could walk and bathe their dogs. I have always had a love for pets and and want to continue to share that love with your fur babies as well! I am a stay at home mom with two dogs of my own and have so much time to give your wonderful pets love, play time and walks. I have a fenced in and nicely shaded yard for all pets. I can easily crate and separate pets if ever needed. I have a small seconded fenced in part so if your dog doesn’t want to play and just wants to sun bathe or relax in peace they are able to do so.
About: I’ve been an owner and sitter of dogs and cats for 10 years. With that, I have experience walking, playing, bathing, and feeding. Most of all I love being around animals and making sure I provide them with love and care. I am currently a full time pet sitter and love every second of it! I am available most times during the week, whether you need someone to drop-in for a walk or stay with your fur baby full time. In a clients home and at my home I am very attentive to what the animal may need. Play time, food, water bowl and anything else.
“Thi and Jace came in clutch last min. We had to run off to Austin for the day and didn’t want to leave the girls alone all day. Messaged them and they were so accommodating. Unfortunately we are moving to Austin and Thi and Jace wont be able to we care for the girls anymore. I will say these two are amazing and we were lucky to have them care for our girls while we are away.”

I can bathe them and play with them too, i cannot groom though. But i can make them smell all yummy! College student! I do go to college all year, even in the summer! I don’t have an outside job, so the only thing taking me away from your furry family is school! I’m always open and i can always get to your fur baby’s when needed! I have 1 doggy of my own and she has fear aggression towards other people and dogs, i’ve learned to work around her personality and to go forward. I bathe my dog by hand inside my home every 1-2 months (depends on if she gets dirty, she’s got a self-cleaning coat) and she gets fed every night! (she eats at her own pace so i just top off her bowls) She is trained to sit, paw, talk, wait, and lay down! She is my first daughter and my soul dog! I love her to death!!
About: I've taken care of 4 big dogs at the same time for more than a week and stayed the night. I still take care of them to this day. I have also taken care of cats and cleaned the litter box included. My last experience I've had was puppy sitting and I had up to 6 English bulldogs plus the parents I took care of. Took them to vet appointments as well. At this point no pet is too much for me! I do have a part time job as a preschool teacher, I work a normal Mon-Fri. I am available all Monday-Sunday. I do have my own transportation so if I stay the night while sitting I have a way to work and back. I always make sure to ask different question to guarantee safety for both the owner and the pet. I personally only have 3 cats and I live in an apartment so they are indoor cats. That's how I keep my babies safe.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child as well as sitting/walking for other animals professionally for 5 years.

I love to walk dogs and spend time playing with them! I'm currently working on a certification, so my schedule can be pretty flexible. I can pretty much work any day of the week and weekends! I have two lively dogs of my own so I know a thing or two about taking care of dogs. I've spent my time with cats too so I know how to handle a litter box. I can follow your instructions for how you want me to specifically take of your dog or cat. I can send updates of your furry friend so you can check up on them!
About: I’ve owned dogs since as long as I can remember! I’ve owned Golden Retrievers, Boxers, and now I have an American Pitbull Terrier/German Sheppard and they are the sweetest dogs ever!! I have a little experience in dog training (sit, shake, high five, etc). However I have always loved taking my dogs on walks or just playing with them outside!! I’m currently in nursing school so I have a few free days that I would love to be able to take time to myself (which of course means being with dogs!!) on the days I’m off of school. I do also work a few days a month for just a couple hours a day. I am always willing to play with dogs though!! I have a huge fenced yard that is extremely plain (no pool, no plants). I also have a large temperature controlled garage that they can play in! We have a slow feeder if needed, water bowls, food containers, dog toys, and a kennel!
About: I don’t just “watch” dogs, I hang out with them like they’re my own. I’ve got experience with all kinds of pups, from wild little puppies figuring things out to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I can help basic feedings, keep up with special diets, and even give meds if that’s part of their routine. I am a full time college student; however, I am happy to visit at any time throughout the day when I am not in classes. I am also completely available on the weekends! Id love to talk more about scheduling if needed. I will ensure that your pet stays safe by always keeping a watchful eye over them and ensuring they don't get up to any mischief!

“Neysha is very great. I love interacting with her. She took water for the dog with her so she could feed my dog water. That’s super thoughtful. She gave my dog water break when she walked him so he didn’t get thirsty to death after walking. Super sweet. Will come back to book her again.”

“I would give Heather 10 stars if it were possible! We’ve boarded our dog on several occasions and it’s always been a tough experience because she doesn’t eat very well and has seemed depressed while we’re gone. Our experience with Heather was the complete opposite; our dog was content and happy the entire time, something we didn’t think was possible while boarding 😅. Heather was very communicative and sent photos and videos of our dog every day while we were away. Her facility is also very clean and well kept, and feels warm and inviting as opposed to the large dog crates we’re accustomed to with other boarders. Heather obviously loves dogs and we were so grateful that she took such good care of our dog while we were gone for 10 days. I can’t recommend her and her services highly enough, this was hand down the BEST boarding experience we and our dog have ever had.”
“She was so good with my boy!! My dog is a lil toot but she had no problem catering to his special perks! She frequently sent me pictures and updates which made me feel 10x better being miles away! My dog felt very comfortable and safe at her house and he was always was able to exert his puppy energy! Highly recommended her as a reliable sitter ❤️❤️”
“Thank you for the last minute help taking in our pups, Ashley did an awesome job our dogs seemed to get along with her dog and family, and looked happy and relaxed. We appreciated the consistent and open communication! Thanks again!”
“Angelo has become my first choice for a sitter for my boys. I don't worry about them at all when they stay with him. He is fantastic at staying in touch and I feel like he takes his responsibility seriously while enjoying the time he spends with his charges. Thank you, Angelo!!!”
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
“Susan was fantastic in all aspects of Baylie's stay. The meet and greet in the backyard was so much more comfortable for my fur baby to get to know Susan and her pups. Susan truly treated Baylie like one of her own and sent me daily pictures while I was away. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again as she truly is a loving dog person and your dog will be safe and comfortable in her care.”
“Andrea took great care of our two dogs. She has a black lab who gets along with most other dogs. My dogs and hers wore each other out playing in the backyard. I also appreciate that Andrea or her husband are at home during the day.”
“Amanda was great! She was super communicative and took great care of our dog. We got pictures and updates daily. This was our first time using rover.com, and we will never go back to a boarding facility again! (Hopefully Amanda is free!)”
“Mia was very flexible and took care of my two animals, treating them as royalty. I had to extend my request a bit longer and she was able to accommodate. Received multiple updates during their stay as well as pictures, so I could definitely tell they were in great hands. Hands down, one of the best pet sitters I have dealt with since using this platform. THANK YOU, Mia B!!!”
“I can't say enough for how wonderful she was this weekend for my family and our dog Samantha. I could not have asked for a better experience with leaving her some where and the peace of mind she gave us all was outstanding with pictures and videos throughout the whole stay. Elizabeth will always be my go to and first choice going forward.”
“Flor was awesome! Very accommodating, well communicated and very patient when it came to my dogs needs. Will definitely book with her again when we’re back in town.”
“Bolt always has such a good time with Mariah and her family. He has other dogs to play with, a backyard to run around in, treats, and lots of love. Mariah is very good about sending me updates, including pics and videos, of Bolt’s time with her. He is always so excited to see her and her family, and I never have to worry about him.”
“Nya was the perfect sitter for our dog and cat while we went away for the weekend! From the beginning, she was extremely communicative and kept us updated with photos throughout their stay. Within the first hour we received a photo of our pup with the biggest smile on his face! We had more than enough peace of mind that they were in great hands. Thanks Nya!”
“Penny was Well Cared for, Happy and Content while staying with Brandon and his family. Stayed in communication at all times. She also had a buddy to play with that was her size. A perfect fit! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby..... T”
“Wendy was amazing in the care of our 2 elderly boxers. They were loved and cared for, as if it were by us. She was great in giving updates on the dogs, and giving medication at specific times. Was able to enjoy my trip, knowing they were in great hands.”
