“Wow - what a great experience! We brought our golden retriever over to John and Joanna on somewhat of a short fuse due to a family emergency. Our Lucy was so well taken care of - we could not have asked for a better home! Lucy was treated so well, just like family except with alot more pampering!! Would take Lucy back again in the future and would definitely recommend! We even got a gift bag when we left!!❤️”

“Jessica is amazing! I am very anxious when it comes to my two kitties and she took care of them wonderfully! Jessica followed all my directions, and informed me on their food intake and daily behavior changes. Seeing how my cats played and warmed up to her really put me at ease for my one week trip. I will only trust Jessica from here on out! 10/10 stars.”
“Sonia was great! My nervous senior cat took to her easily, and I knew she was in great hands while we were away. Sonia made sure she had everything she needed, and was very kind, communicative, thoughtful, and easy to work with. I recommend her and would book her again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats while pet sitting. I have been providing food and fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic medications when needed, and giving them attention and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including shy or nervous cats, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Gabrielle was such a wonderful sitter for our two cats over the Christmas holiday! She was extremely flexible, very communicative, and had no issues giving one of our cats topical medication as a last-minute change. I highly recommend Gabrielle!”
“Katherine took the very best care of my boy, Spanky. She knew I was really worried about my 17 year old kitty at home without me when I was on vacation. You should be very proud to have Katherine as a premier care taker with Rover. I will recommend Katherine to all of my friends who travel and need the best and kindest care for their pet. She is one in a million. My rating would be 10+ stars.”

Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!”

“Jessica is absolutely amazing! I’m a very anxious cat parent, and thanks to her, I was actually able to enjoy my trip without constantly worrying about my boys. She pays incredible attention to detail and truly cares about the cats she looks after. When Skubi started having some health issues, Jessica monitored him closely, kept me informed, and once we got his medication, she started him on it and updated me every step of the way. That really meant a lot to me. She also sends the most wonderful pictures and thoughtful updates, which always put my mind at ease. Honestly, there aren’t enough good things I could say about her. Jessica is a truly wonderful, trustworthy, and compassionate cat sitter, and I’m so grateful to have found her! 🥰”

“Henry was great with Tucker! We needed a last minute sit and he was happy to accommodate. Life saver! He made sure that Tucker was comfortable and cared for.

“Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.”

I will definitely keep them in mind for future bookings. I really appreciate the help they gave me this week.”
“Finn had another great day with Guojin and her husband! They sent lots of pictures and took him out on several walks. He loves doing doggy day care with them! We will definitely book again in the future!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing!! I have used multiple different sitters and walkers on Rover and it’s still always hard not to worry when your fur baby is in someone else’s care but while my boy was with Rachel I had complete piece of mind. She is very knowledgeable and skilled with the care of dogs and I genuinely felt that my dog was safe while in her care. I 100% recommend her to anyone in need of help with their fur babies!”
“Yichen is such a good care giver to my Fur baby WALL-E. She's been understanding and mindful of my babies needs. She shows dedication and time. Kept me updated with photos and also monitors with care. Her fur baby Ube is so caring and calm ( matching good energy). I would recommend Yichen to care for your fur baby.”
About: I have currently have 2 dogs which I adore so much! I love playing with dogs and love spending time with then and other dogs in my neighborhood on my free time. I will ensure your dog feels at home and will take care of them as if they were my own. I currently work from home full time along with my fiancé. I wake up early to walk my dogs in the Morning before all my work calls and will take them out again usually at noon after my last call. I also have a third person (my mom who’s retired) that is free all day that watches the dogs when I’m in my office. The dogs usually are free to roam around the house and there’s usually a person on all 3 floors. I have a fenced back yard that the dogs can play if they like. I also have a large crate in my basement as well. There are at least 2 people at home most of the day that will watch the dogs play. I am very attentive when I dog watch and will play with the dogs and/or walk them on my free time.
“Wyatt is great! Our dog is very very picky about people but she instantly loved Wyatt! He gave us lots of updates and some pictures, and it seemed like our pup really enjoyed her doggy day care time. We will definitely book again!”
About: I've owned dogs most of my life!. From newborns to seniors with different needs. I love their unique, resilient, playful and grateful personalities. Through the years I've helped mommas during labor, cared for newborn puppies (2 with cleft palate), cared for my sweet girl during her last weeks with cancer, I've cared for a wonderful blind dog over the years (I still do! He is a Poodle❤️), I've rescued a stray dog without knowing she was pregnant and took care of her and then made sure her puppies went to good homes. Having their company is like chocolate to my soul! Then unfortunately my son developed a dog allergy when he was little :( so we couldn't have a dog but lately he is been getting better allowing him to be around "hypoallergenic" dogs. This why we would love to care for your hypoallergenic doggies. 👩🙎♂️🙋♀️I am a stay at home mom who enjoys the company of dogs specially when my preteen and teen are in school. I'm ready to spoil them and go for walks or running with them. Once they get home they like to play with the pups and get to know their personalities. 🏡Our townhouse has a high fenced patio. The neighborhood has a dog park if that's what they like. Our area is quiet and safe to walk around. Starbucks is close by in case they are allowed a pup cup ;)
“Jane was amazing. She did more than expected and beyond. I got daily photos and updates. Her daycare space is so beautiful. My dog Maxx had such a great time there. She took extra care of him. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”
“I brought my dog Milo to David for a day, and it was a great experience! David was friendly and made my dog feel at home. I really appreciated the pictures and videos he sent while Milo was at the daycare—it was so reassuring to see my dog happy and having fun. I’m very pleased with the care and attention they provided, and I would absolutely bring my dog back again and highly recommend.”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I cared for my Miniature Schnauzer for many years, including times when he required extra care due to health issues. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each dog’s unique needs. I spend most of my time at home, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do my best to maintain each dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable during their stay. ✨ What you can expect: 🐾 Personalized Care: I keep the number of bookings limited so each dog receives plenty of affection, supervision, and individual attention. Exclusive one-on-one care may also be available upon request. 🏡 Easy Yard Access: Our living space connects directly to the yard. Since the yard is unfenced, dogs are always leashed and supervised during outdoor time. 📸 Frequent Daily Updates: I love sending plenty of photos and videos throughout the day so you can see how your pup is doing.
About: Having raised my three dogs since they were 6–8 weeks old, I treat them like family and work hard to give them their best lives. From homemade meals and dedicated schedules for attention and exercise, to soft carpets and peaceful background music (classical, jazz, and lofi), our home is entirely tailored to their comfort. I know every one of their quirks, and our nonverbal bond is so strong that a single look says everything. They are deeply sensitive, wonderful companions. This summer, I devoted much of my time to caring for my senior dog during his battle with heart cancer. Losing him has left an emptiness in my heart, and I am still finding my footing as I adjust to life without him. As I slowly return to my routine, one of my goals is to create a memorial that honors the beautiful life and bond we shared. Because I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, secure, and loved, I generally prefer drop-in visits where your dog can remain in the comfort of their own home and familiar environment. When my schedule allows, I can also welcome one dog at a time into my home for a few hours of day care. I am home throughout much of the day and available to provide attentive, compassionate care, provided it aligns with the needs and schedule of my two resident dogs, who remain my priority from dawn to dusk. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to treat every dog as family by providing a calm, peaceful, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets by including them in everyday life. I talk to them throughout the day, tell them about my plans, ask them questions, and engage with them as if we’re having a conversation. While they may not answer with words, I’ve found that dogs communicate so much through their expressions, body language, and presence. Whether I’m cooking in the kitchen, working in the yard, running errands nearby, or taking my laptop outside so they can enjoy fresh air and companionship, I’m always mindful of their needs. I regularly ask myself: Did they eat enough? Have they had enough outdoor time? Do they need more play, attention, or rest? My goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and included throughout the day. When caring for a dog in their own home, I approach it the same way I do with my own dogs. If I had only a few hours between commitments, I would make sure they had fresh water, a potty break, exercise, a meal if needed, and some quality companionship before I left. Knowing their basic needs are met and that they are safe, content, and cared for is always my priority. When dogs visit my home, they enjoy a secure fenced yard, plenty of attention, and a calm, peaceful environment. If your dog is crate-trained, I can easily accommodate that, or I can provide a private room where they can relax comfortably between outdoor breaks and meals. To ensure the comfort and well-being of all dogs involved, I keep guest dogs separate from my two resident dogs. This allows everyone to enjoy a predictable, low-stress environment and receive individualized attention. We also enjoy neighborhood walks, which are typically around 15 minutes long, depending on the weather and your dog’s needs.

“Ella helped take care of my anxious Australian shepherd while we were away for the weekend. When she came for a meet and greet,y dog warmed up to her almost immediately! She was incredibly reliable, arriving on time to each walk and took such good care of our pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and would book her again :)”
“Amanda came through in a pinch and she was great with walking my two big and very rambunctious dogs. She was prompt, friendly, and provided great notes post each walk. I’ll definitely use her again the next time we need someone.”
“Sonia is so patient and loving with our anxious pup! She went out of her way to make our dog Jane feel more comfortable with her during her first walk, and has since become a safe person in Jane’s eyes! Sonia is a great communicator and always goes above and beyond. We are very grateful!”
About: I’m new to rover but a lifelong pet care provider. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats. I’ve some experience with exotics like birds and reptiles as well. I’ve cared for and raised dogs and cats from puppies/kittens to geriatrics and their many potential extra care needs. I pride myself on bringing a balance of experience and calm but engaging energy for all pets. I have experience caring for dogs as small as 7lbs and as large as 90lbs. I’ve provided care for multi-pet and multi-species homes. I pride myself on being the most popular person at the dog park (with dogs, I’m not there for the people). I’m happy to provide additional care to animals that need it for medical or non-medical reasons. Every person and every pet has their own personality and quirks, so I’m happy to learn and provide the highest quality care that I can. I’m currently open to pet care across many times and days. So if you need a recurring or spontaneous pet care, I am happy to work with you. I am experienced with crate training and can crate your dogs if needed. Every home has different dynamics and rules that I want to respect and make your pets experience with me as comfortable and fun as possible. If you have any special requirements, safety concerns, or additional accommodations, then I am always happy to work with pets and their owners for the best possible situation.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience dog sitting and dog walking for family, neighbors, and clients in my community. My experience includes house sitting, drop-in visits, and daily walks. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including small dogs, Pit Bull’s, Lab’s, and Vizsla’s. I also have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handing energetic dogs and maintaining specific expectations. I’m a full-time college student with a structured daily and weekly schedule that allows me to consistently fit pet care into my routine. Dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting are planned around my classes, making me reliable and punctual. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and I prioritize maintaining their needs and routines so they can feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, ensure dogs are securely leashed during walks, and remain alert to surroundings at all times. I’m experienced with both small and large breeds and know how to handle different temperaments. I respect your home when house sitting and always aim to create a calm, comfortable, and stress-free environment for your pet.
“Had a great experience with Seth walking our dog for a few days in a row. Great communication, and our dog clearly loved him. Will definitely hire again when we need a good walker.”
“Kimberly was awesome with Kaya! She was patient and gentle with Kaya and sent us updates and pictures of her during the walk. Kaya came back very content and tired from her walk!”
“Our dog normally is apprehensive around new people, and it usually takes him a while to warm up and feel comfortable. This just wasn't the case with Gabi, he took to her immediately! Gabi seems to have a genuine understanding and affection for animals, which seems to have made all of the difference for our dog. Words can't do justice to how grateful we are to have someone we trust help care for our boy!”
“Abigail is the person you want to take care of your pets: she is reliable, patient and communicative. She took care of my sick dog amazingly and I always feel comfortable leaving my pets with her. I can’t recommend her enough!”

I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Pets = Family🌸
About: I have walked, stayed overnight with, given medicine to, and played with animals of all shapes and sizes. I am studying to become a vet so I am an all around animal person! I work from coffee shops a lot so I have a flexible enough schedule to regularly let pets out, feed them, or perform other caretaking tasks throughout the day. I am very adaptable and enjoy taking care of pets in their homes. I like to maintain their regular schedules and be present with them as much as possible during my stay.
