“I just had my dogs at her house for this weekend. She was amazing. She picked up my dogs from my house and even dropped them off for me. She is very flexible and will work with you. She sent me pictures throughout the day without even me having to ask, which shows that she really cares. They were able to play outside in her yard with the other pups and she made my pups feel like they were home away from home. I highly recommend her, you will not regret it!! Look no further, Vanessa is your girl!!”
“Jenn was the best! Constant updates, and a professional attitude at all times! She definitely made it easier for me to be away from my baby for an extended period at a time! I’ll definitely be using Jenn again! Thank you so much for loving my baby and caring for her like she was your own!”
“We were able to meet with Vanessa and Geoffrey ahead of the booking and everything went smoothly! They have a nice set up for the dogs and provide pics/videos to update you each day. I also appreciate them for being able to accommodate our last minute request. We would use them again!”
“Ana was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bella! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. She took extra time to make sure Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Ana sent regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Bella can be a little shy at first, but Ana’s gentle and patient approach won her over right away. We came home to a very relaxed and happy pup — it was obvious she had been loved and cared for as if she were Ana’s own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ana, for taking such special care of Bella! We’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Literally the best dog sitters on the planet. Our dog is always super excited to see them whenever we leave. They are so attentive to his needs and he is always comfortable with them. Highly recommended!”
“My puppy had loads of fun and came back home a really tired one, which just tells me how joyful his stay was. Jim clearly knows how to care of dogs and constantly gave me updates to let me know how my puppy was doing.”
“Rosalina was very attentive; she communicated thoroughly with me about my fur baby (Percy). Percy enjoyed himself, the amount of happy pictures concurred this, and I were at ease the whole time he was with Rosalina and her watchful care. Hoping to book again in the future.”
“Our dog Reese had a great time with Mickey and his dogs. We love that Mickey has a training background and we didn't have to worry about Reese coming back with any bad behaviors. In fact, Mickey knows how to handle Reese better than we do. Another very important part to us is that Reese was hanging out with a loving family and not just kept in a crate. We will definitely board with Mickey again.”
“Very helpful and communicated well to help accommodate our needs. Our dogs got along well in her home and her updates and pictures were reassuring and put me at ease when we went out of town. our dogs are big babies when it comes to going outside in the rain and the whole weekend was a wet mess so I was so grateful Heather was able to get them out and keep them company this weekend.”
“Traci did a perfect job watching my pet. I was confident and comfortable the entire time, appreciated the communication, as well as her flexibility and attention to care. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Taylah! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12, helping raise Great Danes, a Husky, and puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I’m available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and doggy day care. I also welcome holiday bookings—just send me a message! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I go on walks every day, so bringing a furry friend along is always a joy, not a task. Whether it’s morning strolls or evening wind-downs, I’m already active and outdoors, which makes it easy to give your dog the exercise and attention they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just a little extra love throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. In my home, dogs have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax, with plenty of room to play and nap. I follow their regular routines—feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions—to make the transition smooth and stress-free. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect the space and the pet’s comfort zone. I keep things consistent by sticking to your pet’s usual routine, offering companionship, regular potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, loved, and well-cared for—whether they’re in my home or their own.
“Tracey was amazing. She was always lightning fast with responses, swooped in last minute to save the day, took care of everything, did more than I even asked of her, and made my first experience with Rover jaw-dropping. I am so glad that I found Rover, and so glad that it helped me find Tracey. No constructive feedback or concerns at all. Thank you so much.”
“Candace and her family were amazing. Brownie really enjoyed the backyard and most importantly all the rubs and cuddles. I got pictures and videos daily and really felt comfortable with the stay. Will absolutely use Candace again!!!”
“Aiden was a great hostess for our large dog while we were out of town for five days. She sent a couple pictures each day of our dog and was very prompt with responses. Would definitely recommend Aiden’s services!”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
“So glad I came across Michael. He was very responsive, welcoming, and kind. While he had our dog, he would send updates and pictures without us having to ask which is amazing. We did a meet and greet and his golden doodle Deji always so playful and well behaved. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our dog with him and could tell that our dog had a great time. Would definitely recommend”
“Dayana and her family are wonderful sitter’s! They treat Bella like family and have given her the nickname “Queen Bella”’. Communication is great - I receive morning and evening updates with pictures and videos. I recommend Dayana/Sonia 100% and will be using them as my dog sitters going forward.”

About: I am a current college student with years of experience working with animals. I have mainly pet sat and done drop-ins with neighbor dogs and cats. I like taking the dogs to a dog park or hikes if the owners are comfortable. I am easy going and understanding of different circumstances. I am big on communication and want the best time for you and your pets. I am a college student with pretty much all hours of availability this summer both weekends and weekdays. I have a working car so I can satisfy most any schedule. In my clients' homes, I always want to fully communicate so I understand the boundaries and guidelines of the home and care of the pet. I want to ensure that the proper tasks are taken care of in a professional manner for both you and your pets.
About: Used to walk multiple dogs regularly, have house sitted with multiple animals in the house. Have worked with large dogs over 100lbs to smaller dogs. I would like to disclose I walk with my veteran husband due to my PTSD sorry for any inconvenience. I love speaking to all furry friends sweetly and lovingly. I love animals of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently free most of the time as a stay at home wife and mother. Weather depending. Can make accommodations if the weather isn't ideal. Please just contact me to discuss alternate options during bad weather. I will provide the highest level of safety and care when I'm with your animals. I always make sure an environment is safe and clear before entering. I treat all animals as if they were my own, I'm very particular on how animals are treated and do my upmost to make your animals feel as loved as you make them feel.
About: I’ve taken care of older dogs as well as puppies. I’m an outdoorsy person, love going to parks and taking my doggy nieces with me! Your dog will be engaged, played with and cared for. Walks- (M-F) after 6:00pm Saturday anytime Sundays after 2pm Drop in visits- only available on weekends anytime House sitting- available 7 days a week, for M-F I will be working 8am-5pm, Saturday and Sundays available all day I love to play, cuddle and pet. I also understand that not all dogs like that. Depending on the dog’s personality and body language, I’ll typically do whatever is more comfortable for them. I have a puppy niece that is very active and is high energy and loves to cuddle and my other doggy niece (an older pitty) prefers to be left alone and watch tv lol so I’m pretty adaptable.
“Finding Stefanie to watch our one year cat was like finding an angel. Stefanie was AMAZING. She scheduled a meet and greet prior to our trip and our shy kitty took to her immediately. Stefanie asked all the right questions and she’s meticulously organized!!! She sent us a detailed list and summary after every check in, and sent the cutest pictures. This was our first time using Rover, and the first of many times we’ll be booking Stefanie to care for our cat. Stefanie is a gentle, kind and caring professional. She’s a blessing.”
“Dominique did a terrific job again of taking care of my cat. She was patient with his standoffishness and let him dictate the terms of their encounters. She went above and beyond my expectations of a sitter.”
About: Caring for cats has taught me that every cat is unique. I pay close attention to their body language, keep their litter boxes and feeding areas clean, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I'll respect their routine and provide patient, loving care every step of the way. I'll treat your cat with the same kindness, attention, and care I'd give my own.
About: I’ve taken care of my pets and friends’ pets for the last few years whenever they have needed it. Mainly walking, drop in visits, and occasional pet sitting. I love playing with pets if they are playful! I currently work from home so it’s fairly easy for me to take my lunch break or mornings to give some extra attention to your pets. I am not able to currently care for pets in my own home, however I’ll be able to tend to your pets in your home however you’d like. I have experience in dog, cat, and bird care so I’ll be able to adjust to your pets needs.
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats shy, playful, rescued, and senior. I love creating a safe and calm environment for them. I make sure they eat well, get companionship, enjoy playtime, and always feel cared for. I’m attentive to any signs of stress or discomfort, and I treat every cat as part of the family.
About: I’m back on Rover for summer break 2026. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs (and fish) since I was a teenager, and had a beloved dog for 13 years who passed away in 2023. I have since adopted a wild little puppy, which is why I can’t do overnights anymore. If drop-ins work for you instead, contact me for a flat daily rate instead of paying for each drop-in. I have volunteered at the humane society and often watch my friends’ pets when they go out of town. I also took care of my dog through multiple knees surgeries and two different types of cancer. I love being able to take care of animals in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and know their families will be back soon. As a high school counselor, I’m available for drop-ins, walks, crate breaks, and playtime all summer long. If you have a dog or cat who needs a crate break during the day or you just want to have some company or exercise before you get home from work, I’m here for that. I will love on your pets and give them as much attention, play, walks, cuddles, and fun as they want! If your pet is more of a recluse, I can be there for company and to take care of them, while fully respecting their personality. I will follow your directions specifically, because I know how important it is to maintain diet, house rules, meal schedules, bathroom routines, and medication times for a pet’s health and well-being. I prefer to watch pets in their homes because after having a dog, I understand how much less stress it is for them. I’ll take daily pictures (at least) and ask what time of day is best for you to receive them (especially if you’re in a different time zone). I’m happy to watch pets recovering from surgery too, as long as there are clear instructions. This was a challenge I experienced when my dog had surgery and I had to go to work, so I’d be happy to fill that need.
“Alyssa is so very sweet and gentle with our furbabies. She’s lovely, uber-reliable (no reminders needed), and absolutely trustworthy! We appreciated communication with feedback about her visits and photos to see that our dogs were OK!”
“Brenda is a sweetheart and loved on my cats as well as taking care of their needs. Very conscientious and thorough. I look forward to booking her for my next vacation!”

“Mila was outstanding! My dog was recently brought home from a shelter and Mila was not only kind and understanding but my dog didn't even want to leave her when it was time to come home. She took plenty of pics so I knew the dog was okay and her timeliness is out of this world!!! She did pickups and drop offs on time and had great communication the whole time. We will definitely book her again!”
“Vanessa and Geoffrey were so kind and professional with the initial meet and greet for doggy daycare. They sent lots of updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. This was our first in-home dog care experience, and we will definitely be back!”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Erin and Guiness! He's apprehensive when meeting new dogs and new people, and Erin was wonderful about being patient with him and letting him warm up to her and to Guiness in his own time. Erin sent lots of photos so I could see how he was doing. I will definitely be choosing Erin for my future dog care needs!”

“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus!

She took extra time to make sure Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Ana sent regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Bella can be a little shy at first, but Ana’s gentle and patient approach won her over right away. We came home to a very relaxed and happy pup — it was obvious she had been loved and cared for as if she were Ana’s own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ana, for taking such special care of Bella! We’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“My puppy had loads of fun and came back home a really tired one, which just tells me how joyful his stay was. Jim clearly knows how to care of dogs and constantly gave me updates to let me know how my puppy was doing.”
“Rosalina was very attentive; she communicated thoroughly with me about my fur baby (Percy). Percy enjoyed himself, the amount of happy pictures concurred this, and I were at ease the whole time he was with Rosalina and her watchful care. Hoping to book again in the future.”
“Our dog Reese had a great time with Mickey and his dogs. We love that Mickey has a training background and we didn't have to worry about Reese coming back with any bad behaviors. In fact, Mickey knows how to handle Reese better than we do. Another very important part to us is that Reese was hanging out with a loving family and not just kept in a crate. We will definitely board with Mickey again.”
“Very helpful and communicated well to help accommodate our needs. Our dogs got along well in her home and her updates and pictures were reassuring and put me at ease when we went out of town. our dogs are big babies when it comes to going outside in the rain and the whole weekend was a wet mess so I was so grateful Heather was able to get them out and keep them company this weekend.”
“Traci did a perfect job watching my pet. I was confident and comfortable the entire time, appreciated the communication, as well as her flexibility and attention to care. Highly recommend!”
“Tracey was amazing. She was always lightning fast with responses, swooped in last minute to save the day, took care of everything, did more than I even asked of her, and made my first experience with Rover jaw-dropping. I am so glad that I found Rover, and so glad that it helped me find Tracey. No constructive feedback or concerns at all. Thank you so much.”
“Aiden was a great hostess for our large dog while we were out of town for five days. She sent a couple pictures each day of our dog and was very prompt with responses. Would definitely recommend Aiden’s services!”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
“So glad I came across Michael. He was very responsive, welcoming, and kind. While he had our dog, he would send updates and pictures without us having to ask which is amazing. We did a meet and greet and his golden doodle Deji always so playful and well behaved. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our dog with him and could tell that our dog had a great time. Would definitely recommend”

About: I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a quiet cuddle. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.
“Amber and her family took great care of my fur baby, Marley. I was so hesitant to find last-minute care, but Amber was able to meet with us and put my worries at ease. She sent photos and was very responsive and attentive. I would definitely book her in the future and I recommend everyone else to do so as well.”
“Camila is a very kind sitter. She watched our 14 year old dog Darwin for a week while went out of state on family business. She took excellent care of him, sent us pictures, and let us know how he was doing throughout the week. We didn’t have to worry about his care so we could focus on our family’s needs. I would definitely recommend her services!”
