Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.

Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.

Can’t overstate how great Christine was with Ellie. Ellie is often shy with new people, but Christine was patient and clearly made Ellie feel incredibly at home in a shockingly fast period of time. What’s more, when our flight back got cancelled, Christine didn’t even hesitate to accommodate our delay. And Christine was very diligent in giving us updates during the stay.

She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!

They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard

As an active-duty Army professional, I’m responsible, punctual, and committed to following your pet’s routine exactly as instructed. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adjust to their individual needs and energy level.

My work schedule follows consistent weekly shifts averaging 6-8 hours, so I know my availability well in advance. I’ll be away during my scheduled work hours on weekdays, but I provide attentive care before and after work with walks, meals, playtime, and lots of love.

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats Daisy and Lucy. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.

When I came to pick up Rocco he seems content and relaxed and even continued his usual 17 hour slumber at home. I will definitely reach out in the near future!

The day of the daycare went great, Milo went on walks and played with Lily and another corgi they were taking care of. She sent a lot of pictures and video of Milo and it was really nice see Milo having fun and relaxing with them ! Thank you Tricia !

Ann is an exceptional dog walker. I have an elderly dog and Ann was very attuned to how she was feeling, how much she wanted to walk, and just followed her lead. Ann is a great communicator, sending me numerous pictures and written updates after each walk (three times a day). She is organized, friendly, is great with dogs, and makes sure everyone is on the same page. She coordinated with my cousin where my dog was staying. Rosie was very happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up.

About: Hi! I’m a recent Physician Assistant graduate from EVMS with over 10 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant. Throughout my time in veterinary medicine, I cared for dogs and cats in clinical and boarding settings, including feeding, walking, administering medications (oral and injectable), and assisting with special needs and senior pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, including those that may be anxious or require extra care. My medical background also allows me to recognize early signs of illness or distress, providing added peace of mind while you’re away. I have experience with basic grooming such as bathing and nail trims, as well as safely handling pets when needed. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are. I provide reliable, attentive care and will keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings I’m currently preparing to start my career as a PA, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m currently preparing to start my career as a Physician Assistant, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekends and last-minute bookings. I build my daily routine around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and timely care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and behavior. With over 10 years of veterinary assistant experience, I’m confident handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, including those that may be anxious or require extra care. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with you if anything seems off. I treat every home with respect and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

The attention to detail (double checking the leash, securing the door, and noting any changes in behavior) gives me total peace of mind. Couldn’t ask for better care, highly recommend!

One of my dogs is 15 with mild dementia and very slow moving. Ali is patient and caring with him. And he makes sure the younger dog gets a vigorous walk — she’s even lost a pound.

Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family.

Ginger came home happy, not skittish, hyped up or giving AS MUCH of a guilt trip which means she felt loved and cared for. I am DEFINITELY using Jennifer any time she’s available!

Brittany and her family made Evie a part of their family for the week - she had so much fun romping around with Finn (and imagine she will start asking us for a sibling soon!) We got loads of photos and updates!! We are so grateful for you!!

About: I’m an animal lover that will take care of your pet like my own. Although I will care for your pet, I live with my partner, three year old son, my dog Ares, and two cats. We’re a family that loves all animal and are opening our home to extend that care. All pets I’ve cared for tend to leave my home with new skills or new training while they’re with me as that’s very important to me. I am a fully time stay at home parent and have a very flexible schedule to care for your pet. My open availability can accommodate last minute requests. I live in an apartment with an indoor dog park, outdoor dog park onsite, and a large apartment with plenty of space. My pets are very friendly and take into visitors very well. Our son is also very good with animal of all sizes and respectful of boundaries.

Russ and his family were great. He had a big yard for him and the other dogs to roam around in and he even took Shiner for his daily walks when the weather was good. I got alot of pictures and videos which I could see the smile on my fur baby's face. Will definitely use him again.

Amazing Rover! She took such good care of my dog for a week and a half. Sent me lots of pictures and updates and was really receptive and caring of our care instructions. She looked over him during the 4th, and our dog does not do well with the fireworks, but she made him very comfortable and he was well taken care of. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a Roger.

Danyelle is really flexible. I had a last minute booking that I needed due to a family emergency and she was able to accommodate me. This is the second time she's watched my dog and I will definitely recommend her.
