I’m tremendously excited because I have found my fur baby an excellent sitter. Kari has been a heaven sent. It was during an emergency that I found her listed here on Rover. She created a wonderful atmosphere to care for my fur baby while I was away. She followed all my instructions and even sent a photo during his stay. He was a happy bean when I returned to pick him up. I love it, I’ll definitely keep her in mind for my next getaway.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Joleen as my dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Joleen went above and beyond to ensure that my high-energy Labrador, Bo, had a fantastic stay, even when I had to seek help last minute for an unexpected trip during the Fourth of July holiday. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate my last-minute request was so great! One of the highlights was the frequent updates she provided. Joleen would send me adorable photos and videos of Bo, allowing me to see the fun they were having together. It was incredibly reassuring and heartwarming to see him enjoy his time while I was away for multiple days. Not only did Joleen provide exceptional care, but she also had amazing amenities that made Bo's stay even more enjoyable. Her property featured a fence, small pool, and hose, which turned out to be a real treat for Bo during the warm summer days. Seeing Bo happily splashing around and cooling off in the pool brought a smile to my face. Joleen's thoughtful provision of these amenities added an extra level of fun and excitement to Bo's time with her. She took the time to play fetch with Bo, which happens to be his favorite game. The joy and enthusiasm brought to playtime made it clear that she genuinely cared about providing a fun and engaging experience. Joleen is an exceptional dog sitter who goes above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience for myself and Bo. I highly recommend Joleen as a dog sitter for anyone seeking a caring and attentive individual who will treat their furry friend like family!

Hillary and her family are amazing! We live about 40 minutes away, but as soon as we got there, we immediately felt like their land was a perfect place for dogs to play. So, it was worth the drive! Hillary was so kind and her kids were very friendly. Daisy felt comfortable in their home right away. She had another puppy staying there over the weekend and her own dog Joshua. I was a little worried about how my puppy would do with other dogs and children, but seeing her play with them before I left was so comforting. Hillary has a background in puppy training and I could tell just by how she interacted with Daisy and the other pup. Hillary was great with communication and sent pictures every day! Daisy always looked happy and having a wonderful time! Most of the time, when I send Daisy somewhere, I feel sad knowing she’ll spend the majority of the time in a crate, but this was the complete opposite! Daisy basically got a vacation while we were gone. Haha. Thank you, Hillary! We really appreciate you!

I have so many beautiful things to say about Mary and her family! You can see the love in that house from the start, and she was so understanding about the personal needs of my dog. My dog was a rescue and can be easily intimidated, which makes her a little edgy, but she was given the space and love she needed, and seemed to thrive at their home. She sent photo updates and kept me in the loop the whole time, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the trip I was on. When I got back, my dog didn’t even seem like she was anywhere but home. She was such a happy girl. I’m so so so so grateful I found Mary!! I’ll be taking a trip next month and will definitely use her again. Really can’t say enough about her. Such a positive experience! ❤️

We were gone for 10 days and each day Amy sent pictures and videos and was incredible at communicating. Which helped us know how he was doing and he did great!

Because of this, I understand the different needs of both playful, energetic kittens and older cats who need patience and gentleness. I love giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve so they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

Eleni was amazing for us this week! We’ve never left our three dogs for this long and ended up having a few curveballs, but she graciously handled a dog in heat and a few days of unexpected diarrhea. She went above and beyond and kept us updated every step of the way. We would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat.

About: I worked for an Animal Hospital for 4 years and am familiar with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have dealt with some of the happiest and most anxious dogs and cats so I am pretty comfortable with anything. Will also give medication if your pet requires it. I have 2 dogs of my own who are very high energy, so I am used to that as well. I also deal with puppies and elderly dogs everyday so age is no issue. I don't mind any breeds! Small caged animals, fish, or some outside animals are no problem either. I hope you will choose me to check on your babies while you may be working or out of town for a while! Thank you so much guys! It will definitely depend on day and time but I am pretty flexible! I don't work quite as much as I used to but I do still work full time. I go by and do what I am told by the pet owner to keep the babies in routine as much as possible so they do not become stressed but with that being said I also am not able to stay all day or neccesarily the exact times you might due to also having a work schedule to abide by.

About: Your pets will be safe with me and have such a great time they will be having a vacation themselves. I am a full-time teacher but my brother lives with me and works second shift. So you get two sitters for the price of one! I am also available to walk dogs after I get home in the evenings or all weekends/holidays. I have had cats and dogs since I can remember. I love caring for and connecting with all animals. At one time I took care of 3 day old kittens and nurtured them back to health. They grew into three beautiful cats. I have fostered and volunteered with the humane societies in my area because I believe all animals deserve to be loved. Making sure your pets are taken care of while you are away would be a rewarding opportunity. I would love to have the chance to care for your furry family member. Give me a chance to get to help you love on your pet.

I am currently home full time. I already care for our own pet so adding another would be seamless. Your pet is welcome to join my home! I have a backyard for them to run around in. It’s fenced but has some openings. I also have a lead leash for them. I will take good care of your pet - providing what they need and want.

About: I have been caring for animals for my entire life and have always adored learning about them and working with them. I will care for any kind of animal of any temperament and will provide an abundance of love, as caring for pets is very fulfilling for me and improves my mental wellbeing :) I am currently working as a vet assistant and will try to update my Rover schedule each month around my schedule at the vet. I am able to take pets into my workplace if you need me on days I work and are comfortable with that. I am extremely respectful of owners’ homes and will care for the pets exactly as I am asked to. I do not mind assertive or otherwise difficult temperament and will love them all the same. I will ensure to be constantly attentive and focused on meeting their needs and keeping them safe.

This is our second time booking Marketa for Cadence's daycare while we were in town for an event. She did a great job with her 2 years ago that I immediately thought to reach out to her again when we returned this year. Marketa is attentive and caring with Cadence and sent us photo updates of how she was doing. She got along well with the other doggos and even cuddled up to her on the couch. I never have any worries about Cadence when she stayed with her, and would recommend Marketa to anyone in the neighborhood. Thank you!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life & have dog sat many years for family and friends! I work from home, so have lots of time on my hands to come over and spend time with any pup- big or small. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to prioritize your pet's needs. Because I’m always around, I can provide frequent potty breaks, constant supervision, and plenty of mid-day attention. Whether it’s a long walk or cuddling on the couch, your dog will never be alone for long. I have a fully fenced, secure yard and two friendly dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. Safety is my top priority, so I always supervise outdoor play and can easily crate your dog if needed for meals or bedtime. My home is a pet-friendly environment designed to make every guest feel comfortable and safe.

I was out of town for the wholeeeee day, leaving very early and returning extremely late, and they kept him safe and very happy the entire time!

At first I thought Remi was mad at us for leaving him. It soon was clear to see he had a full day of fun and was pooped. Hillary had full command of him and her dog Joshua and sent us pics through the day playing and resting. I had full confidence and could see that she and her family were loving animal people. She came through on short notice and on Christmas! We recommend her whole heartedly. We will happily be using her again in the future.

About: With a lifelong background in dog care — starting with my dad raising dogs and me helping care for 17 growing up — I’ve always had a special connection with animals. I now have three dogs of my own and bring that same love, patience, and experience to every pet I look after I’m currently working part-time and looking to spend more of my days doing something I love — caring for dogs! Since my schedule is very flexible, I can easily adjust my work hours and make time whenever your pets need me. Spending time with dogs truly brightens my day, so fitting pet care into my routine is something I enjoy, not just a job. my home, I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. I also have three friendly, well-behaved dogs who love meeting new friends! If a quieter environment is needed, I can easily crate my dogs to make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure. I always focus on giving each dog the attention, playtime, and care they deserve.

About: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 3 years now. I can do various things including walking and bathing almost any dog. Taking care of dogs is my job and I love it! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to do walks/drop ins pretty frequently throughout any day of the week. My best times would be before 12 and after 7 but I can typically do times in between as well with enough notice I would care for your pet in any way necessary by following any instructions you can give me. With my experience, I know how to keep dogs safe and happy!

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.

About: I worked for an Animal Hospital for 4 years and am familiar with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have dealt with some of the happiest and most anxious dogs and cats so I am pretty comfortable with anything. Will also give medication if your pet requires it. I have 2 dogs of my own who are very high energy, so I am used to that as well. I also deal with puppies and elderly dogs everyday so age is no issue. I don't mind any breeds! Small caged animals, fish, or some outside animals are no problem either. I hope you will choose me to check on your babies while you may be working or out of town for a while! Thank you so much guys! It will definitely depend on day and time but I am pretty flexible! I don't work quite as much as I used to but I do still work full time. I go by and do what I am told by the pet owner to keep the babies in routine as much as possible so they do not become stressed but with that being said I also am not able to stay all day or neccesarily the exact times you might due to also having a work schedule to abide by.

About: Hi there! I'm Jasmine, your friendly and dependable dog sitter and walker. With a passion for dogs and a deep understanding of their needs, I'm here to provide top-notch care for your furry family members. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I'm dedicated to ensuring their happiness and well-being while you're away. I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Neighbors and family friends knew they could rely on me to feed, walk, and care for their pets. They never had to worry about them while they were in my care. Being a pet owner myself, I know that pets are more than animals that live with you. They’re your comfort during the good, bad, and the ugly, they’re cuddle buddies on cold stormy nights and your best friends. More importantly, they’re family. When your dog is with me, he/she will be treated like one of the family. I am currently a college student attending classes from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I am free the rest of the day, in between classes and mornings to play with your pups! If you need me for a drop-in or to walk your dog during those hours I can between 10 am and 12:30. I am also available for house-sitting on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I believe communication is essential for quality service and customer satisfaction. If you ever need to contact me while I’m with your pet, a number will be provided for you to text or call. As a Rover user myself, I appreciate sitters who consistently keep me updated on my pet’s status. I will update you with pictures of your pup and all our endeavors while we’re together.

Casey is so nice and took really good care of my two dogs who can be a handful at times. She sent me adorable photos during their stay!! We will be booking her for future stays as well!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Joleen as my dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Joleen went above and beyond to ensure that my high-energy Labrador, Bo, had a fantastic stay, even when I had to seek help last minute for an unexpected trip during the Fourth of July holiday. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate my last-minute request was so great! One of the highlights was the frequent updates she provided. Joleen would send me adorable photos and videos of Bo, allowing me to see the fun they were having together. It was incredibly reassuring and heartwarming to see him enjoy his time while I was away for multiple days. Not only did Joleen provide exceptional care, but she also had amazing amenities that made Bo's stay even more enjoyable. Her property featured a fence, small pool, and hose, which turned out to be a real treat for Bo during the warm summer days. Seeing Bo happily splashing around and cooling off in the pool brought a smile to my face. Joleen's thoughtful provision of these amenities added an extra level of fun and excitement to Bo's time with her. She took the time to play fetch with Bo, which happens to be his favorite game. The joy and enthusiasm brought to playtime made it clear that she genuinely cared about providing a fun and engaging experience. Joleen is an exceptional dog sitter who goes above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience for myself and Bo. I highly recommend Joleen as a dog sitter for anyone seeking a caring and attentive individual who will treat their furry friend like family!

Hillary and her family are amazing! We live about 40 minutes away, but as soon as we got there, we immediately felt like their land was a perfect place for dogs to play. So, it was worth the drive! Hillary was so kind and her kids were very friendly. Daisy felt comfortable in their home right away. She had another puppy staying there over the weekend and her own dog Joshua. I was a little worried about how my puppy would do with other dogs and children, but seeing her play with them before I left was so comforting. Hillary has a background in puppy training and I could tell just by how she interacted with Daisy and the other pup. Hillary was great with communication and sent pictures every day! Daisy always looked happy and having a wonderful time! Most of the time, when I send Daisy somewhere, I feel sad knowing she’ll spend the majority of the time in a crate, but this was the complete opposite! Daisy basically got a vacation while we were gone. Haha. Thank you, Hillary! We really appreciate you!

I have so many beautiful things to say about Mary and her family! You can see the love in that house from the start, and she was so understanding about the personal needs of my dog. My dog was a rescue and can be easily intimidated, which makes her a little edgy, but she was given the space and love she needed, and seemed to thrive at their home. She sent photo updates and kept me in the loop the whole time, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the trip I was on. When I got back, my dog didn’t even seem like she was anywhere but home. She was such a happy girl. I’m so so so so grateful I found Mary!! I’ll be taking a trip next month and will definitely use her again. Really can’t say enough about her. Such a positive experience! ❤️

Amy took such great care of our dog while we were away. This was our first time leaving him with anyone after adopting him this Fall. We were gone for 10 days and each day Amy sent pictures and videos and was incredible at communicating. Which helped us know how he was doing and he did great! Will definitely come back and highly recommend booking with her!

We were so happy with our dog in Jessica's care! He had a few medical needs requiring some extra attention and meds to be given and she was great with him. She even texted us some updates to just check in while we were gone. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.

Falin and Dani are great animal lovers. You can tell the moment you meet them. Sammy had a short visit today just to get acquainted. When I picked him up he seemed very happy like he wasn’t ready to leave yet.

Allison was an excellent communicator while coordinating our pup's day care and was absolutely flexible to help us with our out-of-towner schedule, and was wonderfully attentive to our pup during his stay. Great first experience using Rover - I would recommend Allison for anyone looking for a caring dogsitter!!

About: I have been caring for animals for a long time, whether I was pet sitting, working at a pet shop or working in a veterinary hospital. I have over 15 years of experience helping and taking care of animals. I love being around your fury friends helping them feel safe and loved while you are away. Working at a vet also taught me how to give animals their medications if needed. I love being able to pet sit because I genuinely enjoy my time with the animals and helping the owners feel comfortable that their pets are in good hands! Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to be hearing from you shortly! I have open availability, pet sitting is my full time job! Whether you need house sitting, a dog that needs one walk a day or 3, we can work something out! I can fit things around your schedule and to your pets needs, I give them all the gentle love and care they need while your away!

I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough! She went above and beyond to care for my dog, Reagan, showing a level of attentiveness and compassion that truly sets her apart. What impressed me most was her thoughtful approach to my dog’s unique needs, keeping her separated from the other pets in her home, creating a calm and safe environment which made all the difference in my pet’s stay. She also provided multiple long walks each day, ensuring plenty of exercise and stimulation. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Marissa did. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who combines professionalism with genuine love for animals, look no further. Marissa is a gem!
