“First time leaving our dog since her adoption and Jennifer and Brian along with their kids took excellent care of our dog. Highly recommend. Also super flexible with pickupz”
“I’m always nervous to leave my fur baby with a new sitter. However, Nana did such a great job of being patient and communicative. I really appreciate that she sent multiple pictures and videos every day as well. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s communicative, considerate of your fur babies needs, and treats your pet like their own Nana is the sitter for you! Can’t wait to utilize her sitting services again!”
“Thank you Marisa and James who took really good care of our sweet Oreo while we were out of town for 7 days. Their dog Toast and Oreo became best friends. I am so grateful that I found another great family to take care of him whenever needed.”
“Manda was great and very caring of my dog. She has two of her own that my GSD had fun playing with. She was very understanding about dropping off early so I could make an early flight.”
“Chancy took amazing care of my Golden, Ellie. She even was gracious and accommodating last minute to keep Ellie another night as our travel plans delayed us getting home. Chancy sent so many sweet pictures and I could tell Ellie was having fun. Thank you Chancy! We will be back.”
“Maria was very sweet and sent many photos! She was very flexible on time and drop off. She took my pup on many adventures! Would love to book with her again in the future!”
“Ashanti was wonderful with my pets. She was concerned about "Rockys" appetite as he is a finicky eater and made him chicken. (I want to stay if I don't want something to eat) Duffy who is an elderly gentledog, looked very relaxed in the pictures and appeared very loved. I will be using her often whenever I go out of town as I can fully trust her with my petbabies. Thank you Ashanti for your professionalism and putting up with Rocky's shenanigans.”
“Silvanna, her home/yard were great for Ollie and Riley’s 5 day stay! This was the first time we boarded them anywhere. She sent us daily photos and videos of our dogs playing with other dogs or just hanging out indoors. We could tell she knows how to handle dogs! We would definitely use her again!!”
“They were very accommodating. We were happy with the care our mini schnauzer received. This was only the third time we’ve ever left him in the care of others so was a bit nervous, but all went well. Would recommend and would definitely use their services again in the future.”
“Great folks! This was my first time ever using Rover and these guys helped me in a super last second pinch and I actually just used them for a second time. Beautiful house and a nice yard! Book with confidence.”
“Dana & Adam treated our puppy Bentley like he was their own! They sent photos throughout the stay whenever I asked and he seemed to have a great time with them! I would definitely book again with them.”
“Kace was extremely flexible with me when my flight was delayed due to weather and she was able to extend our stay by one night so my boys were safe while I was trying to get home.”
About: As a devoted dog pawrent to my own pup, Hachi, I understand the love, attention, and care that every dog deserves. From daily walks and playtime to meal routines and cuddles, I treat every dog as if they were my own. With hands-on experience in training, socialization, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment, I provide a stress-free, loving home for your furry friend while you’re away! Working from home allows me to provide constant care and attention to the pets I board. As a dedicated dog dad to Hachi, I have a well-established routine that includes regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and training. Since I’m home throughout the day, I can ensure your pup gets plenty of supervision, companionship, and affection, making their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I care for your dog just like I do my own! My pup, Hachi, loves having a furry friend to play and relax with, making their stay fun and enjoyable. Since I work from home, I provide plenty of attention, regular walks, and a comfortable environment where your dog can feel safe and loved. Whether they enjoy playtime or just hanging out, they’ll be treated like family here!
“Daisy had the best time during her stay with Andrea! Andrea was communicative and sent lots of photos and updates daily. We will definitely be booking again! :)”
“Andrew and Joy were wonderful with Buttercup. I could tell immediately from the pictures and videos they sent that she was happy, even though she missed me. Buttercup is extremely attached to me and struggles with separation anxiety, but their engagement, attention, and playtime kept her from experiencing the sadness I’ve seen with other sitters. I’m always anxious when I have to travel somewhere I can’t take Buttercup because I worry she’ll feel abandoned. Andrew and Joy truly put my mind at ease. It was so comforting to see her bonding with their dog Oliver, going on walks together, playing, and even taking naps side by side. I still don’t enjoy leaving Buttercup behind when I travel, but Andrew and Joy's special care for Buttercup gave me real peace of mind knowing she was genuinely loved, cared for, and happy while I was away.”
“Sophia and Andrew were both so kind and accommodating! Nugget loved staying with them and it gives me peace of mind while I’m away or busy. Will definitely be using them again.”
“Nancy and her family have been an absolute blessing for us. She’s the only person we fully trust with our furry babies, and she has consistently done an outstanding job. Every morning, she sends us photos, which gives us so much peace of mind. From the very first time we left our pets with her, I knew she would be our go-to pet sitter from then on.”
“Lisde took such wonderful care of my sweet dog, Millie. She's a senior dog and needed lots of TLC, medication, etc. Very unfortunately, I had to make the call to let Millie go shortly after I returned from a work trip and we had forgotten her blankie upon pickup. Lisde went out of her way to deliver the blanket back to my house and even brought me some flowers as a condolance gift. I would highly recommend Lisde to care for your fur baby.”

“Morgan is incredible!! She takes so many great photos of my cats which makes it a little easier on me knowing they’re well taken care of. She’s a great communicator and super quick to respond. Totally recommend her!”
“Olivia did a wonderful job watching my KitKat over the holidays. She provided multiple photos and a nice summary after each visit. I was so happy to see how quickly my shy cat took a liking to her and how she was able to bond with him. She also did a few unexpected extras (moved out trash to the curb, etc). I highly recommend Olivia and will use her again.”
“We can always count on Cassy to take care of our furry kids. She prioritizes the animals and would go over and beyond to take care of them. We are very grateful to have her service”
“Lana was HANDS DOWN the best sitter I have ever found on this app. When I got home my cat was super happy & had been extremely well taken care for. He did not seem anxious at all. She also went above and beyond and added extra visits per my request. She truly cares about your pet as if they were her own, even trimmed his nails for me! Always had great communication every single day & kept me up to date, she’s much more knowledgeable than a regular sitter! Looking forward to working with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone on here & my personal friends and family looking for a great sitter for your kiddos! Thank you Lana for everything! You made my vacation much more relaxed knowing he was taken care of!”
“Sydney was fantastic. She was communicative, left through notes on the Rover card, and sent adorable pictures of our cats. I'll definitely be using her for future trips!”
“Abby was absolutely wonderful! Very communicative and so sweet. My cats loved her and she sent the best pictures every time she stopped by. Definitely will never use anyone else again!”
“Aivy was great! I think the kitties really enjoyed her drops in visits and we really appreciated the pics she sent. She even cleaned the litter box even though we didn’t require it! :)”
About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life. And a variety of other pets sporadically, like fish, hamsters guinnea pigs and others. I have also been blessed to have been a rescue foster and the reward of helping heal thier emotional and physical health and finding their Furever homes. I understand pets are family. I work from home FT so most availability is evenings and weekends. If you are super close by, I may be able to dropins during the week days. I am comfortable with all sizes ( we have 3 dogs 50-120 lbs) and do respect your training protocols. I always check the fences and gates before letting them out in the yard.
“Sarah is amazing! She is professional, timely and cared for our cats as if they were her own. She got our older cat to take her pill and was through in inspecting our house for damages from the kitten. Sarah is considerate and asks questions during her meet and greet. Hands down one of the best pet sitters we have ever had.”
“Melanie is the absolute best!! My cat Cora absolutely adores her, and melanie is so great about giving me detailed updates and sending cute pictures of her. would recommend to anyone!!”
“Amazing sitter!!! She went above and beyond my door jammed she couldn't get in , stayed extra to make sure coco was okay. She is the best sitter i ever had!!! Would hire her again!!”
“We chose Chloe due to her 5 Star rating and glowing reviews. She definitely outshined anyone or any place we've used before! She was/is a godsend for us and our cat when we left for a trip almost 2 weeks. She was happy and, we know, well fed. We know because we got twice daily photos and comments about everything- how she played, ate, behaved, tended the litter and so much more. For the first time she didn't lose weight but may have gained a bit. In the past, she'd be anxious and loud when we returned after much fewer days. BUT... this time she was purring and loving! Thank you, Chloe. You earned 10 Stars from us!!!”
“I’ve trusted Mahmooda with my cat at my home multiple times when away and look forward to more in the future. She is great at communicating and sending lots of pictures and videos (more than any other sitter!). She’s also great at leaving the space as is. I wouldn’t trust anyone over her!”
“Maria is the absolute sweetest and took care of our cat (last minute) while we were out of town on business. From our initial meet and greet, I immediately felt at ease with Maria. She clearly has a love for animals. She took pictures and videos during her drop in visits and was excellent at communicating everything she did and how our baby was doing. I am excited to use her services again for our next trip. ❤️”
“She took great care of our two cats while we were out of town. She followed our schedule and instructions for their needs perfectly and gave us detailed regular updates. I felt that they were in great care with her and didn’t have to worry about anything while we were gone!”
“My cat Hazel loves Elizabeth and I have peace of mind when I’m out of town that Elizabeth is looking out for her. I love the picture updates and Elizabeth really goes above and beyond to make sure Hazel is taken care of when I’m away. Thank you!!”

“Amazing job!! They took day-care of my baby and stayed home with her all day. They took her on walks and played with her as a fun family. Bliss was so excited to go back every day and I loved the comfort of knowing she was in good hands while I had to be away from her during the day.”
“Nana provides such a confident and calm atmosphere when you arrive. The pups came home happy and relaxed! We will definitely be using her and her husband Scott again.”

“Grace and Devin took great care of our pups, who are both pretty high energy dogs . They were patient with them and knew how to handle both of their very different personalities. It was a really positive experience for our pups and for us!”
“Sean did a great job with our Bassett hound Lilly. Our family had a change in our travel schedule and Sean replied quickly and was accommodating to our doggy! Thanks so much Sean!”
“Bertha is a wonderful caregiver for your pup. She takes the time to understand your situation with your fur baby and accommodate accordingly to make them feel comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Sohee is the sweetest! She took such good care of my pup and sent multiple pictures to check in. I definitely recommend her to anybody looking to have their babies well taken care of!”
“Ryan was the first Rover I used for my 4 month old Golden Retriever- Harper. I knew from the moment we met that he would be a wonderful, engaged caregiver and my initial impressions were spot on. He sent pictures and updates throughout the day and the fact that he has his own 2 year old dog was added reassurance that he was well qualified to look after Harper. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for someone you can trust unequivocally to take very good care of your pet.”
“I can tell my dog loves staying with Kailei based on how excited she gets prior to arriving to her home. My dog comes back happy and tired. I feel very safe leaving my baby with her. Thank you, Kailei!”
“I was very nervous. We have never used this site before nor have we ever left Daisy in someone else’s care. After the doggy daycare and speaking with Tiffany, I felt better. Tiffany, took care of Daisy as if she was hers. Thank you Tiffany. See you soon”
“Silvana is amazing! I was stressed about leaving my baby boy but she took great care of him! He has allergies and is allergic to a few things but she was very attentive and understanding. I will always go to her for my boarding/daycare needs!”
“Tiffany is amazing. She took care of our four month old doodle puppy and 12 year old pound puppy giving them both love and attention. Communication before, during and after the visit was outstsanding and included a number of pics and updates. Tiffany wil be our go to for dog care from now on.”
“Dana is AMAZING! Working as a nurse for 13 hours a day 3x a week it’s so comforting to know that my sweet CoCo Chanel is being care for from someone who also is a Yorkie lover! She is so attentive and sweet! 🩷”
“Milo loves spending time with Cary, Paul and Wendy. He can’t wait to get there, having a lot of fun and he is being treated like family. We can only highly recommend Paul and Cary. Thank you so much for keeping our pup safe and happy.”
“The most convincing sign that our pup had a great time was when I was chitchatting with Christopher at pick up and my dog went back inside their house, as if he wasn’t ready to leave. My pup seemed very happy with their dog Pablo and their house and neighborhood were very safe and in a great location. Super convenient, easy scheduling, great communication. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: If I could save and love on all the animals in the world, I would — *especially* cats and dogs. I have had dogs in the past and currently have two kitties of my own, and know how much it means (and how much peace of mind it gives me) to have a sitter that takes good care of them and loves them like their own while we are away. I cannot wait to be that compassionate sitter for you and your babies! I am currently a stay-at-home mom with a toddler and two friendly kitties, and would love to include your furbabies in the fun! We are open to boarding or drop-ins Our smoke-free home has a big fenced backyard, a toddler and a pair of friendly kitties to keep your furbaby company ❤️ We also love going on walks!

“Kathleen was fantastic! I reached out to her just last night, and she was able to work us into her schedule on very short notice. She was incredibly friendly and understanding, especially since I’m recovering from surgery. After walking our puppy, she even gave us some helpful advice. We really appreciated her kindness and professionalism—highly recommend!”
“Aivy is always so good with my baby . She has a very calm and relaxing demeanor which helps Athena. I love all the pictures and updates I get while she is there. I highly recommend Aivy!”
About: Remote worker, dog lover, and your pup’s new best friend! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule, love being active outdoors, and will treat your dog like family. You can count on plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of photo updates while you’re away. I work remotely and am available most weekdays and weekends with advanced notice. I’m one to get at least 10,000 steps a day so your furry friend will have plenty of exercise with me! If you’re anything like me, leaving your pet with someone new can be a little nerve-wracking. I know they’re not “just a pet,” they’re family. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel completely comfortable while you’re away.
“Had a very last minute booking and Madison was very flexible and awesome in coordinating everything. She was great with my pup Milo and was awesome with her communication. Will be booking again for sure!”
“Gimli is always so excited to see Madison! She makes sure he gets lots of exercise and sniffs. She also does a great job reinforcing behaviors and training we are working on.”
“Aurora was fantastic! She walked my dogs for multiple weeks on very short notice and even took them on a route that took several minutes longer than the 30 minutes I had paid for. She was friendly and professional and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.”
“If I had to describe John in one word, it would be “amazing.” We are new to Dallas and needed someone to walk our two dogs on very short notice, and John was kind enough to step in and help. Our dogs are not difficult, but they definitely have their own personalities. One is a 120 lb German Shepherd who loves chasing squirrels (and climb trees to meet their families), rabbits, and sometimes even butterflies, and he also thinks he needs to make friends with every dog he sees. Our other one is an 18 lb Shih Tzu who is a little pampered and does not like walking in the sun. What really stood out to us was how patient, caring, and thoughtful John was with both of them. During the first couple of days, when our Shih Tzu decided he was done walking after finishing his business, John actually picked him up and carried him while continuing the walk because our German Shepherd still wanted more time outside. For the last few days, he even walked them separately so each of them could get the individual attention they needed. That level of care says a lot about John. He was always on time, courteous, respectful, responsible, and genuinely loving toward our dogs. We are very thankful for his help and would definitely look forward to having him take care of our boys again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m a professional nanny with over a year of full-time experience caring for twin toddler girls from birth through toddlerhood, and I’m now offering reliable morning pet care 3–4 days a week (9am–1/2pm). What sets me apart is my background in structured, high-responsibility childcare—I’m used to managing routines, reading behavior cues, staying calm in unpredictable situations, and providing consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I bring that same level of focus and reliability to every pet I care for. I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust with your pet, especially during the day while you’re at work. I prioritize safety, consistency, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and understood—not just supervised. I’m offering reliable morning and afternoon pet care 3-4 days a week from 9-1 or later. I’m also open to weekend opportunities when my schedule permits. I offer both in-home visits (at your home) and care in my home (when appropriate), always focusing on safety, routine, and comfort. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication if needed, cleaning up after pets, and making sure your home is respected and left as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and supervised environment. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest, and ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unsupervised. I treat every pet like they are part of the family and prioritize a stress-free environment.
About: I want to be involved in dog walking and pet sitting because I have loved dogs my whole life. I grew up with a dog from the time I was five years old, and that dog became my best friend. Being around dogs makes me happy, calm, and full of joy. Because of that, I would love to help take care of other people’s dogs too. I understand that owning a pet can sometimes be stressful and time-consuming, and I want to be someone others can trust to give their dogs love, attention, and care when they need extra help. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am currently in college and have gaps between my classes with a lot of free time. Instead of wasting that time, I wanted to use it to do something I truly enjoy. Dog walking and pet sitting are a great fit for my schedule because they are flexible and easy to plan around my classes. I also come home often during the holidays, which gives me even more availability during those times. This makes me reliable and consistent when families need extra help with their pets. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and exercise. I take dogs on walks, play with them, clean up after them, and make sure they feel loved while their owner is away. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care and respect as my own.
“I live on the opposite side of town, but when I'm travelling, I deliberately drive all the way over here because I want to leave my dog in Chloe's care. She's super reliable, does everything I need done for the dog, and my dog loves her. I have a lot of anxieties about leaving my dog with other people because she can be difficult, but I feel absolutely at ease whenever Chloe is taking care of her.”
About: I've have much experience pet/house sitting. I'm aware that each pet has their own personality and specific needs, and I am ready to accommodate them! I currently work part time in the afternoon. I'm available in the mornings and late afternoon. My work schedule is flexible, so if needed I can adjust to meet my customers needs! I tailor care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide safe, engaging walks, consistent feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. During house sitting, I'll be sure to clean any and all messes, and ensure whatever rules you have stay enforced. I follow all instructions and send regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in great hands.
