“Very Sweet, Gave periodic updates, And Charlie enjoyed her company so much that he didn’t wanna go home. LOL. She had very loving children that were very good with Charlie. Charlie will certainly go back the next time I go on a trip. I would recommend, Plus she is affordable”
“Pamela was a pleasure to book with. She is responsive when I reached out with questions, gave regular updates, and gave our pup extra love and playtime with other pup/kitty friends. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Walter and his family were great hosts and caretakers for our dog. They made us feel super comfortable by sending updates and pictures while we were away. We have already asked them to take care of our dog again because of the wonderful care they provided!”
“Kalley was amazing!! I needed a new sitter as my previous sitter stopped doing in-home boarding, and Kalley was phenomenal. She was very attentive and kept me updated daily on how Marley was doing via text and pictures. I knew he was extremely comfortable in her home which really put me at ease. Thank you Kalley to you and your family for taking such good care of Marley!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience. I could tell my dog was well loved and cared for. Tara has great communication and provided daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use her time and time again.”
“Lauren, impressively on short notice, took my pup in for boarding and was remarkable with his care! I highly encourage anyone seeking pet assistance to consider Lauren for services & I plan to seek her services the next time my pup needs boarding.”
“My dogs love Tamara, she takes amazing care of them. I was recently gone for two weeks and during that time my senior dog needed a visit to the vet for medicine and Tamara had no issues taking him in and getting his medicine for him. Such great peace of mind when your dogs are in good hands and well taken care of. Thanks, Tamara!”
“My Pup felt right at home and probably got more attention than she ever gets at home. Tara and her family spoiled her with love. Their backyard was a dream for my ball obsessed pup. Tara is great about sending pictures and checking in.”
“Linda was wonderful with our sweet pup, Henry! Daily updates were very helpful and she went above and beyond to show him love. I would definitely have Linda take care of Henry again and would recommend highly!”
“Bella did a phenomenal job watching Luna. We were in need of new overnight boarding arrangements and we hit the jackpot finding her. We organized a meet and greet before our pup stayed with her so Luna was very comfortable coming back to stay for the weekend. We received many videos and pictures updates during her stay.. putting our hearts and minds at ease while we enjoyed our trip our of town. I highly recommend her and we will be rebooking in the near future! Thank you for caring for Luna like your own family!”
“Heather is absolutely amazing! We’ve never left one of our dogs with anyone outside of family and it was so nice to see they had a blast and made themselves feel right at home. She is flexible, quick response time and has plenty of room for our dogs to run and play, also meeting some new friends with their dogs. We will keep our dogs going to Heather anytime we leave town and she is available.”
“We are SO SO happy we found Kristen! We had a one night trial and our pup couldn’t have been happier. We then had her go back for a whole week while we were on vacation. It was wonderful because Kristen checked in when we asked for it, which was nice since we were on vacation. She was quick to respond and sent us some fun photos of our doggie having the time of her life. It is such a relief to feel like you can really trust the person taking care of your dog while you are away. We could tell she was happy to be there and Diddums will definitely be returning! :) THANK YOU!”
“Katherine was excellent from the start! She took her time getting to know our dogs and us too. Her affection for animals is very present and her home is a great escape. She provided daily pictures and communicated regularly with us. We were very lucky to find such an awesome getaway for our dogs!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a pet sitter & Beth and her family took wonderful care of our boy! She offered a meet and greet with her dog ahead of booking to ensure the dogs would get along, which we really appreciated! She even continued our dog’s daily treat advent calendar for us and gave him his Christmas present on Christmas morning! 😊 we received lots of updates and photos, which we really enjoyed! I would definitely recommend her!”
“10/10: Cindy took great care of my dog and sent frequent updates. She was also so good to adjust when my flight got delayed and I couldn’t pick up my dog at the expected time. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Addie had a great visit with Sheila and Timothy for the 5 days we were traveling. This was our first time boarding her here as we recently moved into the area. Great communication and flexibility with our schedule that included cold and snowy conditions along with airline schedules. Thanks!”
“Whitney was incredible good with my little one. She took care of him very well when I was sick. And Tokyo had a great time with her dog Feather. She sent me lots of pictures and lmk all the time of how was my dog, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you Whitney!!!”
“My lively puppy had such a fabulous time at the Millers that she was reluctant to leave. I say "the Millers" because, although Ruth is the sitter, they are a package deal -- a lovely family with a welcoming menagerie of their own. Ruth was extremely generous in the frequency of her communications and in their newsy content. Knowing your pet is happy while you are away is the greatest relief possible. I am so grateful to have found Ruth and look forward to working with her in years to come.”

“Pamela took great care of our cats while we were at a family reunion, and they can be a challenge. I had our dates confused, and we got home two days earlier than expected, not expecting a refund, but she adjusted the schedule on our return.”
“Our service from Christin was outstanding. Our timid kitty liked her almost immediately. Christin provided lots of notes and photos each day. She was on time and took care of everything beautifully. She even brushed him. I highly recommend her.”
“Charlotte is fantastic! Her daily updates were detailed, she sent us so many great pics and she thought of the small things. Our cats laser toy needed to be charged she not only noticed and took the initiative to charge it, but then remembered the next day to turn it on so they could play with it. She gave us peace of mind while on vacation that our cats were well taken care of!”
“Lauren was so sweet and helpful while we were away. I was very nervous to leave my cats but she made it possible and sent photos and videos to help alleviate my anxiety. She always replied to me in a timely manner and I was so happy to leave my kitties in great hands. Choose Lauren if you want someone who goes out of their way to work with you!”
“Thank you so much for your wonderful care of our cat, Georgie! Delainey did a wonderful job taking care of him while we were gone. She kept us up-to-date with photos and details, which make traveling much easier. Thanks again!”
“The kitties had a great time with Zach looking after them! Our second time with him as a sitter, and he continues to provide great care, with consideration that puts him a step above. Thank you, Zach!”
About: I have walked and dog-sat for 7 years now with great reviews. Taken care of small 15 pound dogs to 80 pound dogs. Able to care with full attention and provide the best support. Flexible schedule, with willingness to negotiate certain times. Own 1 dog of my own, and have always had a dog in the house. I do not have any prejudice against specific dog breeds. Friendly personality, easy-going, and willing to match any dogs energy levels. Any restrictions, such as food or physical, are able to be accommodated and discussed. Possibility of last-minute scheduling, but be mindful of possible conflicts. I would need to know if the dog has any history of violence or biting, as that is a key factor for me to plan. I am a freelancer and have no major commitments that require my attention so I am able to fit pet sitting into my schedule very easily. I am able to do walks short or long, play dates, travel, medications, crating, dietary challenges, and most requirements that would come up for a pets needs.
“Taylor is so patient and kind with my kitties, even the shy ones! My anxious senior cat loves her :) It’s such a relief to know they’re in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Taylor to anyone!”
“I used Rover for the first time and chose Jordan because of experience based on her photos with bigger dogs. She booked a last minute with a 3 day commitment requiring 2 drop in visits per day. She communicated with me quick and well, sent photos etc. I was unsure about using Rover and thought I might need to call or text, but now fully confident in the service. I would book with Jordan again in the future and probably won't go back to boarding. Our dog seemed happy to stay at home, and not stress being away from us and at a kennel.”
“Sherry was amazing! We decided to go on a last minute trip and she met with us the night before we left. She was so nice and a joy to be around so we knew Charlie would love her! This was our first time leaving him but we were reassured by her personality. She did everything we wanted and more. We can't thank her enough and we highly recommend her! We will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Megan is always the best! She always goes above and beyond and our fur children love her. When we can’t be home it always makes them feel better to have a familiar face stop by to snuggle them.”
“Sunanda was immensely helpful with the care of my cats while we were away. With her great attention to detail and love for animals, I can definitely recommend her services for any pets needs. Definitely will rebook!”
“So helpful and communicative as always! I consistently book Madison to check on my cats when I'm out of town and am always at ease knowing my cats are cared for. She is reliable and my cats enjoy her company. Highly recommend!”
“Courtney watched my two cats and was amazing with them! She’s very communicative and detail oriented. The pictures and updates gave me peace of mind while away. She spent plenty of time playing with them, showered them with treats, and was always prompt with their feeding times. Would definitely book her again!”
“I highly recommend Darian to take care of your pets! I needed someone reliable, and on very short notice, to take care of my precious skittish cat for three weeks. Darian did a wonderful job tending to all my cat's needs, and she accomplished the amazing by quickly getting my suspicious, standoffish cat to allow her to pet her! Darian also went the extra mile of cleaning up the floor several times when my cat coughed up hairballs and had other tummy issues. Darian had not taken care of my pet before, but she stepped in like a pro and took care of her, and kept tabs on my house as well. As I said at first, I highly recommend Darian for your pet!”
“Ashley took excellent care of my cat Tala while I was away (even when Tala was not at her nicest!). Ashley made sure she understood my instructions at our meet and greet, and sent photos and updates for every drop-in visit. She was friendly, reliable, and professional—everything you want for someone watching your pet.”
“Anastasia was great and took good care of our cat. She spent some time each visit playing with our cat rather than just feeding her and leaving, which we really appreciated.”

About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.
“Taking on a totally unknown dog from a cross-country road trip, IS a risk. We knew our senior dog Ginger would likely be stressed: 1st from the trip, and 2nd to be left with a stranger, in an unfamiliar environment. Linda really seems to love the dogs, she had 1-2 fosters there when we arrived (not sure, as I think I only saw 1). While I'm sure it was hard on both of them, we do sincerely appreciate her taking on our dog for a few hours, so that we could attend the wedding of an old family friend. If you read this Linda, I am interested in that food you had there for your fosters. Please shoot me a message, I may look at ordering it to try next time. Thanks again!”
About: I have experience with working on obedience training, dog walking/sitting, I have worked at animal shelters and with police dogs. I can guarantee the best care for your pet ensuring you and your pet will be satisfied! I’m not currently working so I have wide availability ensuring that I can make busier times work and ensure your animals are well cared for! I never leave food or candles out so they can never swipe things off the counter. I also never socialize with people or other animals unless approved by parents.
“Absolutely the best, and works with my dysfunctional schedule… my dog comes home happy and tired from playing all day. I couldn’t work comfortably without her. 1000/10 recommend doggy day care with her!”
“Lisette is WONDERFUL and her family is also so nice. She was very friendly and lovable, super communicative, helpful, and also flexible. She took great care of my dog and sent photos throughout the day, and he was really happy and relaxed (and in no hurry to leave) when I came to pick him up so I know he loved being there! I definitely recommend her and will send my dog there again anytime she's available!”
“Lauren was a great sitter! She was very conscientious about making Max’s stay comfortable for him and checked in with me throughout the day. I would definitely have her watch him again”
About: Hello all! I’d love to help you with your pet care needs. I have had pets most of my life, and am the current owner of a 3 year old chihuahua mix, and an 12 year old chocolate point siamese. I started using Rover over the summer a few years ago and have had so many amazing clients! It has also been a great experience when it comes to socializing my young pup. Before using Rover, I took care of family members pets and would find my own boarding, dog walking and drop in clients. I currently do pet sitting in addition to my full time job. I work for a high school so I get plenty of dates off including winter, spring and summer breaks. During these times I’d be home full time. Otherwise, Monday-Friday I care for the dogs when I wake up, go to work, come home and continue their care. That’s pretty much all I do. I have a fenced yard that gives my boarders (as well as my pup) plenty of room to run and play! Boarders stay on the main level of my house and are allowed on furniture, unless discouraged by owners. You are more than welcome to bring anything you think would make your pet more comfortable during their stay (ex. Beds, crates, favor toys or treats). If you crate your dog/s at night or while no one is home, I will do the same. I work full time but can balance your pets needs with my schedule. They will have a morning routine of going outside to potty and eating before I head to work. I often leave a tv on for them and I also have cameras to keep an eye on them while away. When I return home, they will have free roam from being inside to going out to the fenced yard to play and explore whenever they would like. I’ll feed again in the evenings (based on your feeding instruction of course) and eventually tuck them in for bed. :) For boarding, your pet will have access to my fenced in backyard where they can play and explore. When I’m away from the house, I can crate your pet upon your request. I leave it up to the owner! Your pet will be boarded on my main level. I NEVER leave pets outside and unattended while away from the house.
“Sarah is really special. Benny was so calm when I picked him up, and seemed so content. I know he had an excellent day with Sarah, Moana and their family. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Jessica was wonderful. She made everything easy for us. Met us when we drove up. Made Cocoa feel comfortable. She took her for a walk with her own dogs. She sent photos during the day. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Danielle was great with Chloe. She took her on 3 walks and she enjoyed playing with Danielle's daughter. She sent me several pictures to let me know she was happy and comfortable since this was her first visit with Danielle. I will definitely call on Danielle the next time I need a sitter! Thanks Danielle!”
About: I grew up on a mini farm surrounded by animals — from lizards and hermit crabs to dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from anxious puppies and kittens to senior dogs with health or mobility challenges, as well as cats with special needs. Every pet in my care receives the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m available to provide flexible care around errands and appointments, giving your pets love, attention, playtime, companionship, and comfort throughout the day, tailored to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines carefully to ensure comfort and familiarity. Pets are supervised at all times, with fresh water, treats, and attention. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, adapting to any special needs, mobility issues, or anxieties. Safety, consistency, and love are my priorities, so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. In my home, I introduce pets safely, separating them from my own during initial meetings. I provide a secure space for each pet and use mini fencing to ensure safety, even though my property is not fully fenced. I follow the same level of care and safety as I would in your home.
About: Dogs have always been part of our life and are treated as a member of the family. When in our house the dogs are allowed on furniture and we will treat them as they were our dog. We welcome calls to check up on your animal while they are staying with us. We will give them plenty of attention and someone will be around in the house to make sure they are doing well. We look forward to having your animal stay will us and giving them attention while they are here. We can even send you pictures or videos while you are gone to see how they are enjoying their stay. I am retired as a special education teacher and enjoy animals. Last year I lost my dog Sammy who was 19 years old and look forward to being with dogs. Our family treats pets like part of our family. We like to spend time with them and interact in the house as well as outside.

“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

“Thanks Alyssa. When we are walking Tucker and I always stop and let people walk past. Just to keep everyone at ease. Not all dogs are as friendly as our boy. Tucker was acting out of respect.”
About: I have had dogs since I was a toddler and have grown up caring for them. I currently have one of my own (8yrs) who is my entire world. I currently work full time for a consulting firm but I am looking to do pet care part time. My weekends are usually open and weeknights are also pretty flexible. Pet sitting is my way of stopping myself from getting another dog. I love spending time with all animals, but especially in places where they feel comfortable. Each visit will involve a walk and some play time and a lot of love. I try to get my own dog out as much as possible so I would aim to do the same for yours as well.
“100% would recommend Christin to anyone! She is so professional and kind, the dogs love her. Such a sweet, responsible, courteous person., I cannot say enough good things about her!”
About: I got my first dog at the age of 10 and trained him myself, aswell as other family dogs we grew to love over the years. Now 30, I have 2 pups of my own that I’ve given my whole world to. I love my animals as if they are family and yours would be no different. I believe animals bring out the best in us & I try to bring the out the best in them when I can instill any behavioral help! I’m currently working part-time and spend the rest of my day as a homemaker while my son is in preschool so I would have plenty of time to handle your pups after I drop my son off in the morning. I can provide walks, medications, feedings and free play in our half-acre fenced in back yard. I follow your guide lines with meal times and breaks. What’s important to you is what I aim to achieve in my visits wether that be play time, picture updates or cuddling on the couch making sure they feel comfortable when they stay for a visit or I come into their space. If your pup is one that can be ornery and needs more supervision rest assured I’m always home and do not leave them unsupervised unless we have arranged for them to have a crate if I need to run out. These are all things we can discuss in a meet and greet!

“Melissa is practically part of the family at this point. Our golden girl absolutely loves her! We use her for weekly walks, drop in visits, and all out of town travel. She is always accommodating to our schedule and we are so lucky to have found her!”

They will be kept in the basement if I’m watching other dogs or having sleepovers. They will also be let out at separate times to put everyone’s mind at ease.

I accept pets of all sizes into my home and they will always be treated just they are my own! I always have a veterinarian on call for emergencies and will always call/ reach out for any questions!

About: Dogs and cats love me. And I love them. I recently relocated from the West coast to East. have volunteered at Laguna Beach Animal Shelter in California the past nine years. There are many pets in my household ( one dog, 4 cats)). I thoroughly enjoy pet/home sitting and am grateful for your trust. I am flexible and can easily adjust my schedule accordingly. Overnights are my specialty. I have no pets or children of my own thereby emplyment is my only commitment. My household has pets and roommates travel extensively so I feed, love and whatever other pet needs arise. I am and happy to accommodate as it takes a village with pets!
About: What sets me apart is my personal experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. I’ve raised and cared for five dogs throughout my life, including Labs, Golden Retrievers, Chihuahuas, and German Shepherds, so I understand the very different needs of small, medium, and large breeds. I trained my own puppy from 8 weeks old, teaching her a wide range of tricks and good behaviors, which gave me a lot of patience and training skills. I’m also comfortable handling more challenging dogs as one of my Chihuahuas was very aggressive, which taught me how to read body language and safely manage reactive pets, from a young age. In addition, I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs. I’ve helped raise multiple dogs into old age, including a German Shepherd that lived until 15, and a Labrador Retriever that lived until 17! I understand the gentleness, and care older dogs require. Overall, I bring a lot of confidence to this role because of my genuine understanding of dogs at every stage of life. I just finished my undergrad and plan to be home all summer. I begin graduate school in the fall online and will practically have no big everyday commitments. I have a few vacations planned but besides that I am an open book willing to work anytime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. (Dogs know their schedule!) I follow all instructions closely and carefully for any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I have cared for dogs that experience extreme distress from their owner being gone and I have developed my skills to better care for dogs experiencing this. I’m also very attentive to behavior and health, so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect my client’s home by secure and exactly as I found it. My goal is to make both the pet, and the owner feel completely at ease, just as I would want if my dog was being watched.

“Heather is absolutely amazing! We’ve never left one of our dogs with anyone outside of family and it was so nice to see they had a blast and made themselves feel right at home. She is flexible, quick response time and has plenty of room for our dogs to run and play, also meeting some new friends with their dogs. We will keep our dogs going to Heather anytime we leave town and she is available.”
“We are SO SO happy we found Kristen! We had a one night trial and our pup couldn’t have been happier. We then had her go back for a whole week while we were on vacation. It was wonderful because Kristen checked in when we asked for it, which was nice since we were on vacation. She was quick to respond and sent us some fun photos of our doggie having the time of her life. It is such a relief to feel like you can really trust the person taking care of your dog while you are away. We could tell she was happy to be there and Diddums will definitely be returning! :) THANK YOU!”
“Katherine was excellent from the start! She took her time getting to know our dogs and us too. Her affection for animals is very present and her home is a great escape. She provided daily pictures and communicated regularly with us. We were very lucky to find such an awesome getaway for our dogs!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a pet sitter & Beth and her family took wonderful care of our boy! She offered a meet and greet with her dog ahead of booking to ensure the dogs would get along, which we really appreciated! She even continued our dog’s daily treat advent calendar for us and gave him his Christmas present on Christmas morning! 😊 we received lots of updates and photos, which we really enjoyed! I would definitely recommend her!”
“10/10: Cindy took great care of my dog and sent frequent updates. She was also so good to adjust when my flight got delayed and I couldn’t pick up my dog at the expected time. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Addie had a great visit with Sheila and Timothy for the 5 days we were traveling. This was our first time boarding her here as we recently moved into the area. Great communication and flexibility with our schedule that included cold and snowy conditions along with airline schedules. Thanks!”
“Whitney was incredible good with my little one. She took care of him very well when I was sick. And Tokyo had a great time with her dog Feather. She sent me lots of pictures and lmk all the time of how was my dog, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you Whitney!!!”
“My lively puppy had such a fabulous time at the Millers that she was reluctant to leave. I say "the Millers" because, although Ruth is the sitter, they are a package deal -- a lovely family with a welcoming menagerie of their own. Ruth was extremely generous in the frequency of her communications and in their newsy content. Knowing your pet is happy while you are away is the greatest relief possible. I am so grateful to have found Ruth and look forward to working with her in years to come.”
“She took good care of our energetic pup! She always kept us updated with photos and texts about how he was enjoying his days. Thank you for letting us enjoy our vacation without worrying about our Cody.”
“Once again, Jaime and Mike did an incredible job caring for my dog, Banjo, while I was away. They're great about providing updates, and are such a lovely family—I could tell Banjo had the best time with them! Thank you!”
“My dogs Huey & Edward had a great time with Alicia & her boys. So happy to have found a great rover near me that I can trust with my dogs! She gave them great exercise & so much love.”
“Leslie is incredibly kind and attentive. She took my dog out for a lot of exercise, and kept him happy and safe while I was away. She provided plenty of photos and video updates and followed instructions to a T. She has a big backyard and comfortable looking house in a quiet neighborhood. My dog is usually pretty shy and can take a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he was right at home with Leslie. I would definitely recommend her to others, and plan to book with her again in the future.”
