Kelsey let me know when he had arrived and sent me lots of pics (which I loved) and kept me updated on how it was going. We had good communication back and forth and it was a great peace of mind for me to know the dogs were all good. They had a great break with Kelsey and lots of time to be outside if they wanted, or to cuddle with Kelsey as one of them did a great deal, and just overall a nice social break in their day.”

She made sure they got plenty of attention and even played fetch with my golden during every visit, which she absolutely loved. After it rained and the dogs tracked mud through the house, she even went above and beyond by mopping my floors without being asked. It's clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and takes pride in doing a good job. I felt completely at ease 200 miles away knowing they were in such great hands, and I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for friends & families for years outside of my Rover clientele. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I genuinely love animals and treat any animal that’s in my care as one of my own. I will send you lots of photos during my time with your fur baby to ensure you that they are in good hands :-)
“I told Stephanie that she can check on my cats any time as long as 1 was in the morning and 1 at night while I went away for the weekend. She actually followed the schedule I put to the tee and updated me the entire time I was gone. Thank you so much for caring for my 3 cats!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of professional experience working in animal shelters and caring for animals of all personalities and needs. As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat is unique—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence and care on their own terms. I currently share my home with two cats, so I know how important it is to have someone reliable checking in while you're away. During visits, I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention, playtime, or cuddles if they want it. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your feline family members. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I'll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your cat!
“Kess is just wonderful, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for your pet like her own while you’re away! She is detail oriented and patient. My cat, who is typically quite anxious, warmed up to her right away :) She also sends such lovely, detailed messages and cute photos. Will absolutely continue reaching out to her in the future for help when I’m away!”

About: I am a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience working at a professional boarding facility for a year, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That experience taught me how to handle everything from high-energy pups to more anxious or shy dogs, always with patience and care. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available any time, any day, and offer a wide range of services including walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m very reliable and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I’m available full-time and have a very flexible schedule. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Since I’m available any time, I can accommodate early mornings, late evenings, and last-minute bookings. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they’re always a priority in my schedule. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s routine exactly as instructed. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication if needed. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision at all times. With my experience working at a boarding facility, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and ensuring every pet feels safe and well cared for.
“Melissa and Jeremy were excellent with my puppy. They were able to schedule and play day with him was short notice, and they followed all my expectations. My dog had a wonderful time with them and I will most definitely be scheduling another play date with them.”
About: My home can offer you the level of care and attention you want for your pet. I’ve always believed dogs shouldn’t just be “checked on”—they deserve attention, interaction, and a sense of comfort while their owners are away. Your pet will be loved on as if he/she were my own. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have raised several from puppies through their senior years, including a rescue, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. My home is very pet-friendly, with a large backyard for play and space to relax. I also have a 5-year-old lab and a young child, so safety is a top priority. I only accept dogs that are gentle and a good fit for a family environment. My goal is simple: to give your pet a safe, calm, and genuinely cared-for place that feels as close to home as possible. I am currently working part-time, so I am home frequently. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods of time. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm available 24/7 unless I am going out of town. I usually work Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5pm-10pm. I prefer to do a meet and greet before boarding. I cant always accommodate last minute bookings, but don't hesitate to reach out. I have a large fenced in yard, one very playful 5 year old lab, and a friendly toddler. My dog has free rein of the house and yard. When I am home, I leave the back door open so she can come and go as she pleases. When I leave, I can separate the dogs and crate as needed.
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 18 years and have always been passionate about providing them with a safe, loving environment. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement when caring for pets of all ages. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've also provided care for a friend's senior dog while they were away on vacation, giving me experience with the extra patience and attention older dogs often need. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with unique routines. As a scientist, I'm naturally detail-oriented and observant, so I pay close attention to changes in behavior and always follow care instructions carefully. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine! I have a puppy of my own, so my days naturally revolve around walks, feeding, playtime, training, and making sure she's happy and healthy. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve, whether that's sticking to their normal routine, providing plenty of exercise, or simply keeping them company. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any other preferences you have to help your pet feel comfortable while you're away. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a safe, clean environment. I use positive reinforcement and never harsh discipline. My puppy is friendly and well-socialized, and I'll always make sure introductions are done safely if applicable. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I'll make sure your pet receives lots of love and attention, fresh food and water, walks or playtime as needed, a clean litter box or potty area, and plenty of affection. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Morgan was so easy to work with and such a kind individual! This is my first time using a dog walking service. My dog is very shy and timid in nature, but Morgan was very calm and patient with him and also very reassuring towards me regarding my concerns with his fearfulness. Will certainly use her again in the future!”
About: I’m not just a sitter I’m your pet’s calm, cozy, reliable home‑away‑from‑home. I specialize in creating a soft, stress‑free environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. I communicate clearly, respect your routines, and treat every animal like family. Your pet gets comfort, consistency, and genuine care—not just supervision. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life as a cat mom. Every day includes feeding, fresh water, litter care, enrichment, and calm bonding time — so adding your pet into my routine feels seamless. I’m used to managing structured play sessions, keeping environments clean, and maintaining consistent routines. Weekly, I plan enrichment activities, rotate toys, and make time for extra grooming or deep cleaning. In my client’s home, I follow your pet’s routines exactly to keep their environment familiar, comfortable, and stress‑free. I provide attentive care—feeding, walks or playtime, litter or potty upkeep, and gentle companionship—while keeping your space tidy and your pet feeling completely secure.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention at their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having a quiet and reliable caretaker, I respect their personality and routine. I am also comfortable following special instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my home growing up, I even trained my family’s current household dog, a German Shepherd, when she was a puppy. I have experience pet sitting all shapes and sizes of dogs but have more experience in medium-large sized breeds, I love them all! I’m currently not working as I’m finishing up my EMT academy/certification while also in school full time. I’m using this as income for the time being. Unfortunately with my grumpy cat I am not able to board pets in my home but am more than willing to stop by and visit your fur baby when needed!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for both dogs and cats alike for many years. Even though I’m new to professional pet sitting, I have plenty of experience caring for my own beloved pets and ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’m reliable, patient, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I would treat every pet with the utmost care and attention they deserve while you are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I love spending time with them and I am accustom to caring for them through my years of growing up with them. Including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time throughout the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my knack for attention to detail, I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while keeping the space clean and tidy. I’m patient, attentive, and understand the importance of respecting and building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and well cared for.
“I was extremely nervous about using rover my Koda is 70Ibs and absolutely insane in the best possible way. Tyler reassured and explained to me how everything was going to work. When tyler came to the door Koda was in protective mode, thankfully tyler didn’t get scared off instead he suggested a new approach to them meeting and once Koda sniffed him he immediately let tyler take the leash! He was amazing and I will definitely be scheduling with him again!”
“Alyssa was flexible with our crazy Navy scheduling and constantly sent funny/cute pictures of our pup while she let him out around lunch. Would highly recommend!! She will love your pup as much as you do!!”

About: Big or Small, Special Needs and All—A Sniff Adventure Awaits! Hi, I'm Frankie! Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent my entire life raising and caring for pets of every shape and size—from cats and dogs ranging from tiny to extra-large. My home is currently run by a wonderful, chaotic crew of four: Merc: My fluffy cat who rightfully considers himself the king of the house. My Energetic Pitty: A sweet, high-energy powerhouse who keeps life exciting. My Two Special Needs Pups: One who is completely blind, and another with neurological challenges. Why Choose Me? Living with special needs pets means "cautious and attentive" isn't just a tagline for me—it's my daily reality. I have deep experience and endless patience when it comes to walking blind dogs and pups who have trouble navigating or walking in a straight line. Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete who needs a solid workout, a delicate senior who wants a slow, gentle stroll, or a special needs pup who requires extra vigilance and a patient hand, I’ve got you covered. I treat every single animal with the same customized care, safety, and love that I give my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member and take them on their next great sniff adventure! I am currently a full-time graduate student finishing up my master's degree. Because my studies allow for a highly flexible schedule, I have plenty of open availability throughout the workweek to drop in and walk your pups while you are at the office. Treating Your Furry Family Like My Very Own In my own home, I take extreme care of my pets. Living with special needs animals and a high-energy pit bull means safety, structure, and deep attentiveness are built into my daily routine.

About: I stop and play with every pet that I meet. I love animals and want to continue my journey with pet care. I am open to doing sitting and walking. I am open to walking in the mornings at anytime after 6am. The sittings will have to be scheduled more in advance as I do have a job. I live on campus so I’m not able to host animals but I am able to walk dogs that live close to my community and I’m able to dog sit if you live close.
“Feeling overwhelmed and being unable to take our lab for walks in the midst of everything was heart wrenching. Chris was a life saver and stepped in within hours of our request. He was also extremely punctual and clearly knew what he’s doing. Our lab came back from his walks looking super satisfied, energy released and calm all through the day. Highly recommend Chris!”
About: I am super caring, and patient. I’ve walked several dogs previously including Golden retrievers and Labs. I also have two pet parakeets that I love dearly. Friends and family have always counted on me with their pets. I would love to meet your pets ❤️ My schedule is pretty flexible especially later in the day as well as nights. On weekdays I get off at 3pm. Weekends I’m totally free for ANY TIME!!! I have plenty of space in my home for your dogs to run around, and there is also a dog park in my community as well.
About: I have five years of pet-sitting and house-sitting experience as a form of income, but I have been a pet owner and lover of animals for my entire life! Friends, neighbors, and colleagues have hired me by word of mouth, so pleased with the level of care I provide to their home and/or fur-baby. I currently work full-time, Mon-Fri with late afternoon (starting at 3pm) and full weekend availability. I have two cats that I love and care for with all my heart. While I make coffee, I obey their need for a morning treat and roll up the window blinds so they can watch the birds as the sun rises. Our morning routine. I go to work, come home, and give them all of my attention. I care for my clients’ pets in their preferred way, with whatever is relayed to me. Then I always add a little extra love and care. I make sure to know any allergies, places or animals to avoid on walks, and preferred discipline strategies. When I am house-sitting, I follow the instructions handed to me while being sure to make it seem as though I was never there upon my departure. Clean, cozy, and better than when you left it.

“Simone walked my 2-year-old puppy. He can be a handful but she has taken to walking him like a pro. What impressed me most was her beautiful smile when she walked in her positive attitude and her genuine affection for my Dasher.”

“As usual, everything went perfectly good for Hector, with Amber and Dane. And we see Hector truly loves them and is totally exciting when we are driving him to them. Amber and Dane genuinely love dogs, considering the ones they are sitting as theirs and this makes us fully confident when we have no other choice than leaving Hector while we have to travel.”

“Kristyna is legit the best! She is so thoughtful and communicative and really will do anything to make your pup feel at home in her home. I got regular updates and pictures, and she was more than willing to work with us while trying to figure out scheduling while our family was experiencing the loss of another pet. I would give more than five stars if I could :)”

“Beth and family were great with Biscuit! She sent lots of pictures of Biscuit living his best life and playing with her dog. Communication was great, and drop off and pick up a breeze. We did a meet and greet as Biscuit can be afraid of other dogs, and it went well. Would book with Beth again!”
“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”
“Emmy had a fantastic stay with Dalton and his family! Dalton was very detailed and asked plenty of questions prior to the stay to make sure he knew how to take care of Emmy and there wasn’t anything he was missing. I had complete trust that Emmy was in good hands and I would rebook in a heartbeat.”
“Cassie had a great time during this stay! Lots of walks, play time, and snuggles. She was very well taken care of and we received many pictures/videos over the two weeks. We would highly recommend and will plan to book with Maria and Matthew again in the future!”
“I selected Kobie to care for my Baby Boop because I had watched him on several occasions with his dogs and I admired the way he treats them and their responses to him. Kobie is a dog whisperer and I am so happy with his service. I received videos and Kobie communicated throughout the visit. Excellent service! Kobie is my choice for Betty Boop’s care going forward!”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Shanae was professional, dependable, and incredibly caring with my dog. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Shanae went above and beyond to make sure all routines, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime were handled perfectly. When I returned home, it was obvious that my dog had been loved and cared for exceptionally well. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thanks again Shanae!”
“Amazing from beginning to end. Prompt communication and updates. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs for a long weekend while I was out of town and made sure he was comfortable. I would definitely book with Michelle again!”
“What a treasure we have found! Shannon, her family, and three sweet dogs did an excellent job caring for Kirby. Her communication was perfect and we felt totally at ease while we traveled. Kirby is the only dog at our house and we could tell that he really enjoyed playing with Shannon’s dogs. Her home and yard were perfect for Kirby - he had space to run but also plenty of space to cuddle. Would definitely recommend!”
“Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Benjamin took great care of our two dogs for a full month, and we’re really grateful for it. They came back clean, fresh, and well cared for, even without their usual weekly baths, which we really appreciated 😊 He was also kind and responsive whenever we reached out.”
