“Ruth is very friendly and was great with my dog! I did boarding with her for my dog. She gave me daily updates and also was very responsive. She made sure that my dog was comfortable and happy for the entire stay. I would definitely use her service again!”
“I have been using Rover for 5 years now and I have tried various sitters in the area, Weiyue is the best we have had. Weiyue is very knowledgeable and have great passion for dogs. She quickly identified my dog's personality traits and provided tailored care plan. For example, despite my dog's large size, she is very shy and likes to take her time to warm up to other people and dogs. Weiyue noticed it immediately and kept her in a safe and quiet place to ensure she doesn't get overwhelmed. Weiyue is also responsive and shares a lot of updates. Most importantly, Weiyue is highly accommodating and provides FREE pick up and drop off service. We traveled back very late at night and Weiyue dropped off our dog while we are unpacking and putting kids to sleep. We appreciate Weiyue for taking great care of our fur baby.”
“Ms Linda was wonderful. This is the first time that we have used a sitter that was not a family member, and we were worried that our spoiled babies would have a hard time, however, they enjoyed themselves and got lots of love. She sent us pictures and messages throughout their visit. We will definitely use her again if we need sitting services. I highly recommend Ms Linda!”
“Reagan and her family were wonderful with our senior husky. I got daily updates and pictures. We are so happy we found Reagan and her family, we will be using them again in the future!”
“Ara is a lovely sitter, she sent me pictures and videos during Sophie's day care, she had patience with her and introduced very well her lovely dog to Sophie. I already booked with Ara for a boarding and I know that Sophie will be in a really good hands! Thank you so much Ara!”
“My first puppy and first time leaving her behind and Mona eased my stress with lots of pictures and updates. I’m having to go on another trip soon and definitely going to be using Mona again. Thanx for everything”
“Mrs. Patricia was wonderful with my babies! She communicated well and sent plenty of pics of Bella and Achilles enjoying themselves. She took them on daily walks which they loved. Her home is set up perfectly pet safe & she even managed to keep my little runner (Bella) contained. I highly recommend her. She will love your babies as if they are her own! I will most definitely be requesting her again on our next trip.”
“Brittney was amazing!! Milo had a wonderful time. We got many updates and pictures and we just felt really at ease leaving him! We will definitely bring him back, they are all so nice. Thank you so much Brittney :)”
“Sheri was a fantastic host and care taker for our pup. She brought our dog in like family and our dog could not get enough play time with her pup. I received multiple updates daily including pics and videos of our puppy enjoying his time there. I would highly recommend Sheri and hopefully we can find time when he can stay again. He really seemed to enjoy his time there.”
“Brittany is amazing and we feel so lucky to have found her and Indy to host our pup on a fun farm vacation. My dog always come back well cared for and balanced. It's such a treat for the owners as well as our dog.”
“Joseph really did a great job taking care of our athletic and sometimes hard to handle dog. We received daily updates and pics during the stay. I could tell my dog was relaxed and really did't get in a hurry to leave when I picked up. It was clear all his needs were met during the stay. Great place for pets to stay!”
“Skye was great! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos so I wasnt worried about my girl at all. I had to extend a night due to travel and it was no problem at all as well. She was very attentive and caring about my dog. She was brushed, washed and her nails were even trimmed. She had a great stay with Skye and Hercules.”
About: Dogs have always been part of my life. With years of hands on experience, training my own dogs and caring for my loving Australian Shepherd. I’m committed to giving your pet a safe, happy and loving experience! I work from home and have flexibility that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day.

My professional experience began as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic, where I worked for over a year caring for dogs and cats, monitoring their health and behavior, administering medications as directed, and maintaining a clean, low-stress environment.

“It was my first time using the app and was unsure a how it will go but I am so glad that I did use and found Kyla. She was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I didn’t have to worry about Fluffy. She sent detailed descriptions of her visits and sent regular updates. Spent extra time with Fluffy to make sure he felt comfortable around her. She managed to put a bandana around Fluffy’s neck which was a cute surprise when I got back. Thank you Kyla for being amazing. 10/10 will book her again next time I am traveling.”

About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.
About: I adore dogs but honestly I'm a cat person!! I have had cats indoor and outdoor since I was 14 and have had those years to gain experience caring for them and learning how to bond with them. I tend to socialize with cats very well and love love love to pet and play with them!
About: Cats have always been a special part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them! I have experience with both a senior cat and a young cat, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and needs. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m happy to provide loving, reliable care. From feeding and refreshing water to cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving plenty of affection, I’ll treat your cat like one of my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind.
“Jeanette was amazing with our kitten. She house sat for us just to be extra sure our girl would be ok on her first night alone, sent us lots of pictures, kept us updated, gave her meds and even left us a gift for our daughter that is due soon (so thoughtful and kind). We’re extremely over protective with our animals and we will be asking her back for sure. Thank you, Jeanette ??”
“Brett was the best! Booked for drop in visits for a long holiday weekend and everything went so smooth. He was always on time and was able to handle our dog that can have a bit of a big personality at times. I will definitely be booking him again!”
About: I have experience with animals since I could walk. In my personal life I would best describe my passion as a certified collector of strays (cats , dogs, birds and insects . The list is very long :) . In my professional experience I’m very exposed to the knowledge and unique design in caring for animals . STORY TIME : * ****I met a pit bull ****At the age of 17 I went to one of my first parties with my friend ( I was still very shy and reserved, but was looking to dismantle my comfort zone ). I had a bad time and unfortunately I was followed walking on my route and hoped to just make it back home in the same pieces that I came with lol . Anyways I approached a dark neighborhood on my path and only two streetlights worked and sarcastically I was excited to be walking under one the moment I locked eyes with THEE most Beautiful & intimidating Pit Bull I’d ever been blessed with eyes to see and a body to run that couldn’t move and was actually not breathing to well either 😅So I did what any rational human would in this situation and called her and told her to come here “sweetie” and she Bolted towards me … arms out stretched shaking in my wee lil boots I prayed lol and she jumped up on my shoulder and licked my face and I was at awe 🥹. She walked me home (2miles) and we actually got stopped by a couple who told me I have a beautiful dog and I explained she wasn’t mine and asked if they wanted to try and keep her but she never left my side . I’ve never felt so safe and happy all at once at 12 midnight imagine what love can do !!! I lived in that same area for three extra years and never seen her again . The End My professional experience consists of working side by side as an acting vet assistant where I learned to chip dogs , feed them medicine, clean kennels, walk them and feed them their food . I also worked as a canine coach where I oversaw 1-28 dogs at a time play with them talk to them prevent them from being in danger making it the best environment possible . I aspire to build my abundance in what I love and that’s more love the definition manifested in all creations especially ones with big beautiful baby eyes and youthful hearts Animals :) Hi I’m Ta Manda and I’m your PETS NEW BESTIE🦄❤️🎁!! ( so cheesy and I love it lol) I am currently invested in becoming independent, I am open to gaining more experience so other than Uber I’m all yours ❤️ please just reach out :) I love forming lasting bonds with the pets I care for and would be thrilled to stay connected and visit them even after my services are complete. I believe that doctor dolittle was inspired by Myself so honestly I do have conversations with them down to moths I believe they are listening and if you’re still enough you can tell they understand you .
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was born! Love animals and always have. If I could have any dog in the world it would be a Saint Bernard.

I’m currently working part-time at church and looking for full time ministry! In the meantime ~ I wanted to earn some extra money, to help with student loans and food. Rover has been recommended to me and I can’t wait to join in all the pet sitting fun!! I have a fenced yard that is a pretty good size for running around!

About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.
About: Hey y’all!! My husband and I are new empty-nesters, and have always had dogs in our lives. I speak dog, and having the experience of being a pet mom for so many years, I would love to take care of yours when you need it! I’m able to give them their medications if they’re following a treatment (I just don’t inject). So, if you need to travel, or just need some time off, bring your doggie to me! My two dogs are friendly and playful guys…yours will have a blast! I’m a writer, working on my books from home. I recently moved from Florida and got a new house with a fenced backyard that our own dogs enjoy and would love to share it! Even when I travel frequently (and use Rover pet services in TX as I used it while in FL), I am home everyday. I just save Sundays, and go to church. I have a fenced backyard, and 2 friendly dogs. When other dogs are in my home, I make them feel loved. My home is a quiet place with nice music that leds me to write. When having visitors, every exercise is done in the backyard! My dogs, sleep in their beds in the living room. I don’t have carpets and my place is a clean house. We are bilingual (including our dogs 😁).
“Milton did a great job taking care of our dog Dutch for day care. He has a great yard for him to run around and play and Dutch was very happy when we picked him up. We’d definitely bring him back again!”
About: Bruiser. A friendly paraplegic dachshund whose physical needs required his humans to find help at their home when they needed time away. Helping care for him blossomed my new love for pets of all sizes and medical conditions, outside of my work life in a veterinary clinic. I would love the chance to take above and beyond care of your fur-babies, from those that are healthy and active to the ones that need comfort and warmth during a difficult journey through life. I have over 17 years of work experience in the veterinary field in multiple positions. Communication and patient care are a few of my number one priorities, along with ensuring your routine is followed and expectations are met. Insulin administration, daily medications, extra walks, subcutaneous fluid administration; these are a few of the abundant needs that I am able to provide with ease and skill. In my home, I tolerate (with love of course) two of my own fur-babies. Yuca, a blue pitbull terrier, who is an active little girl, and Valentino, or just Tino, a black mixed rescue from BARC. Our home has a large yard and close parks for those that may need outdoor play time. I understand the stress of having to put your dogs and cats in a boarding facility, as I myself love going to National Parks with my family. I would be so honored if you would “paws time” and entrust me with your kids, knowing they are loved the same as when they are with you.
About: I have an exceptional talent in making each and every canine and feline feel happy and loved. They thrive under my care, and love individual attention and understanding. Pet care is second nature to me, and fits extremely well with my current lifestyle of working part time and living in a retirement community. Pets cared for in my home are well loved and get lots of attention. I walk dogs regularly, and am exceptional at playing with and caring for them. I am in the backyard with them whenever they go outside.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens and other birds my whole life, more than 40 years. I’m a retired teacher and empty nester and I’m home most of the time so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention! I’m retired so I’m home and available almost all of the time. I’d rather be at home with furry friends. They’ll get lots of love and attention with me. I have a large fenced yard and a one story house with wood floors. I’m an empty nester so it’s just me and my service dog at home. There’s no kids around just me and my sweet dog.
About: Hi my name is Alan and my wife’s name is Valerie! I have become extremely enthusiastic about this app as it has given me the opportunity to meet and get to know new families, individuals and a few different dogs. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup and can’t wait to create a lasting relationship with everyone involved. My childhood growing up with my dogs i feel has given me a good amount of knowledge when it comes to walking, looking after, raising and potty training. My availability is a little spotty seeing as how I have a full time job but I love any and all dogs and I’m really hoping I can create new relationships with you and yours. I’m great with dogs and dogs are great with me. My wife is home everyday. And I will be home after 6pm. We are both home on weekends. Once she goes back to work after her maternity leave starting February 21, she will be home by 4pm. Valerie and I took a break from Rover for a while due to space issues but we just moved into our new house this past August 2022 and we are excited to provide a spacious home as well as a spacious fenced in backyard. We are also in a brand new community so it’s extra quiet here in our area.
“Mazie was well taken care of and had a fun day. Loved playing in wide open space outside and with Josh’s 2 dogs. She got lots of attention! I think she would like to come back. This was first time going to Josh and my husband and I were very pleased. He was available last minute and we appreciate that..”
About: My name is Valerie! I have become extremely enthusiastic about this app as it has given me the opportunity to meet and get to know new families, individuals, and most importantly dogs. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup and can’t wait to create a lasting relationship with everyone involved! I feel like my childhood growing up with my dogs has given me a good amount of knowledge when it comes to walking, looking after, raising and potty training. I am a teacher and have always been very fond and connected to children so I feel like dogs aren’t very different from that for me! I love any and all dogs and I’m really hoping I can create new relationships with you and yours. I am currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to cater to and give your pet the attention it needs all day! I have a backyard with a fence so your pets can get the exercise they need or even some sunbathing in during the day. I have two fur babies of my own to keep your pets company as well.
About: I love dogs! They are a special part of my life and I currently have two mini Australian shepherds who are 8 and 6 years old. I have been around dogs my whole life and really enjoy all their fun and quirky personalities. Our house has a nice fenced in yard- your pet will get lots of exercise and outdoor time! I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog and will treat them as part of the family. I homeschool my boys so I am home all the time. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you may. Thanks for trusting me with your pet! I want your pet to feel as comfortable with the least stress as possible! I can take your pup out for a walk in the morning and evening and I will also let them outside in our fenced yard as often as they need. I have a nice fenced in yard for your pup to play. We also want them to feel at home while staying with our family and will make sure they get lots of snuggles, play time and whatever may help make their stay enjoyable!
About: Animals seem to gravitate to me, I have never had an issue befriending a stray dog, cat, or even llama. I’m always that one guy in the room petting the dog. I have a natural knack for animal care as well and spend a lot of time just being friends with my pets. I am currently looking for a part time, flexible job that allows me to be with my family more. Therefore I am currently not working as I look and I am fully available. I have a couple of schedule items that I work around but overall I have a very open schedule that pet care will work wonderfully with. In my home we have more of a relaxed environment. Dogs are allowed to run around the home freely for most hours of the day. Cats are allowed to roam the catio outside freely. No cats are indoors and dogs are let outside twice daily to run and play and a third time just to use the restroom. Dogs and cats are fed twice daily and water is freely available. In a clients home I follow any guidelines they have.
“Candace was amazing and kept me updated with photos and text messages. She always responded in a very timely manner. My dog loved her spacious property! Highly recommend, 10/10 first experience.”
About: Since I was a little girl I been around dogs. My brothers dad had a Rottweiler so growing up Tyson was always around us. As I got older either friends or family members had pets. Weather it was cats, guinea pigs, hamsters or fishes you name it. I love being around animals it’s so therapeutic and joyful to me. I am available for dog walking Monday-Friday hours btw 8am-8pm. Pet sitting at least a week in advance sometimes last minute is ok with me. I make sure they are fed have they water are taken out for the day twice maybe even three times of the day. If it’s nice out we can go to the park play run around hey active. If we are indoor I can still play and interact with your pet to make sure they are happy.
About: I have experience with animals of all ages and physical conditions and understand the concept of a customized plan for your fur babies. I have rescued stray cats and dogs and ensured they were sheltered appropriately. Granted this is a different circumstance but just know that I would go to bat for any of your fur babies. Pet owner for over 10+ years. I am currently working full time as an analyst but have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide care and comfort for your fur babies. I am able to do anything from boarding to drops in to home visits. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog and cat that would be comfortable with new animals if that is of concern. I can provide additional services of administering medications, brushing, etc at no extra charge. Besides your fur animals deserve royal treatment without you breaking the bank.
About: Hey there, hope your day is going well!! Your dog/pup will be in great hands as we take a walk session either it be an adventure, workout, or just a nice easy pace around the neighborhood. I can feed, bathe, grind nails, and get your dog, “dog gone tired” that way they can come home and relax with you! Rather it be from a long day at work, an out of town business trip, or even a quick vacation you will not need to worry about your loved one. I have been around pups all my life and i love them, as they are truly “Mans best friend”. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you while you are away from your fur babies and don’t hesitate to ask questions! I’m usually off from work 2 to 3 weeks at a time. So I will be home all day with the puppers and give them my full attention. The property is fenced in and the lakes and trails are up kept. Plenty of running space indoor and outdoor! Baths for the pups that love to swim in lake!

About: I love animals! Fur babies are a part of the family. My dog has been a big part of my life for the past 10+ years. He is my sidekick and 4 legged companion. I have a cat who is the princess of the house. I took her in as a kitten and nursed her back to health. I have spent many years pet sitting for family and friends. I enjoy spending time with pets, taking walks and playing. My hope is to one day become a dog trainer. I work full-time during the week. I have time to check on the pets before and after work, and on lunch break. Weekends are more flexible. I will come check in on the pets as needed. I will take the time to play with them. I will feed them as scheduled. I can take the pets for walks.

About: I've taken care of dogs, as well as cats since I was six. My pet experience with dogs is of varying size, energy level, and maintenance. From my moms dog who was a German shepherd, Rottweiler, and chocolate lab mix, to a large stray dog that mix have been a Great dane and boxer mix, and currently 2 small dogs, Angel and Charlie. I do have experience with diabetic dogs as my dog, Charlie, is diabetic. I have experience as well with handling high energy dogs like my dog, Angel, who is chihuahua and jack Russell terrier mix. I am currently unemployed, but live with my mom and take care of my sister, who is 17 years old, I drive her to school at 7 am and pick her up at 3:43 p.m. I am available between then and after 7 p.m. as I have to give my dog Charlie her insulin shots and scheduled feeding twice a day. On weekends I am available at 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and anytime after 7 p.m. I offer dog walking, over night watches, as well as general care for the dog(s) whether it be scheduled feedings, scheduled dog walks, scheduled medication, etc. Anything you are looking for specifically, let me know your schedule, your dog(s) schedule, what you are looking for and I will let you know if I can bring the care you are looking for.
About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.
About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.
“Tamanda is awesome! My dog was so happy to see her every day 😊 She did a great job taking care of him while we were traveling. I highly recommend her, and we’re looking forward to seeing her again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for animals. While this is my first year on Rover, I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands. Im currently working on an online business where all I need is wifi and my laptop. Im also a college student looking to make some extra cash to pay off tuition. Both of these things I can do online anytime which leaves me for plenty downtime and study breaks I can spend with my furry friends! I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and have a safe and comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
“Jeanette is AMAZING! She is such a great communicator! So sweet with my pup and just amazing over all! I couldn’t be happier with someone like her walking my pup! She is trust worthy, sweet, and kind.”
About: I have a 9 month rescue comPAWnion named Ozzy, and he's one of the best thing that's happened to me this year. With his smartness & with my patience, we accomplished the oddest thing. I didn't want to have scratch marks on my backyards door, & Ozzy didn't want to loose his daily treats. So, I was able to teach Ozzy how to use a door bell to go in & out of the house when he needs to go potty. I taught him how to sit, spin, paw, down & still learning till this day! He's also been desensitized to baths, nail trimming, blow drying, & grooming by yours truly. I believe in a high quality of life for our comPAWnions because they're part of the family & needs to be taken care of as you would a human. They're not just pets, they're family. I'm currently a stay at home wife, with lots of time in my hand ;D so I can be readily available for you when you need me! I have a friendly boy named Ozzy who comes with me everywhere I go. If by any means you'd like Ozzy to take a paid day off, let me know I'm sure he won't mind. If your comPAWnion had an accident before my arrival, I don't mind cleaning it up. I get it we all have accidents. (EXCEPT diarrhea)

“Ruth is very friendly and was great with my dog! I did boarding with her for my dog. She gave me daily updates and also was very responsive. She made sure that my dog was comfortable and happy for the entire stay. I would definitely use her service again!”
“I have been using Rover for 5 years now and I have tried various sitters in the area, Weiyue is the best we have had. Weiyue is very knowledgeable and have great passion for dogs. She quickly identified my dog's personality traits and provided tailored care plan. For example, despite my dog's large size, she is very shy and likes to take her time to warm up to other people and dogs. Weiyue noticed it immediately and kept her in a safe and quiet place to ensure she doesn't get overwhelmed. Weiyue is also responsive and shares a lot of updates. Most importantly, Weiyue is highly accommodating and provides FREE pick up and drop off service. We traveled back very late at night and Weiyue dropped off our dog while we are unpacking and putting kids to sleep. We appreciate Weiyue for taking great care of our fur baby.”

I will most definitely be requesting her again on our next trip.”
