“Lauren was wonderful and Winston was in such great hands. We got pictures of him and we knew he had become a part of their family during our trip. Winston gives his stay 5 stars too! Thank you Lauren!”

“Maria & Matthew are the absolute best! We’ve used them twice and each time it gets better! Our dog loves his mini vaca at their house with his doggie friends. Their communication is incredible! Maria and Matthew are our go to sitters!”

“We booked boarding services for our three pups with Eric just 48 hours prior to going on vacation. Upon visiting Eric’s home for introduction and so he could meet our pups, we knew this was going to be a great experience. Eric and his family run a very impressive boarding service and he kept us up to date on the status of our fur babies. We’ve already booked his boarding services for two other vacations this year. 10 Star worthy!!!”


“Amazing! They were so communicative and accommodating. They sent numerous pictures during my dogs stay. When we picked up our dogs they were happy and tired. One of my dogs actually looks sad leaving. Overall, great sitters and we will be using them again.”

“Lily had another wonderful stay with Amanda! I'm pretty sure she thinks of it as her home away from home. : ) From the pics I can see Lily makes herself right at home there and looks so happy and comfy. We are so grateful for Amanda and all the attention she gives Lily to make her feel so welcomed in her home.”

“Cherry was wonderful! She provided tons of videos and photos of my two pups! Even with crazy travel issues, she was able to keep my dogs for longer than originally planned and gave me peace of mind as I navigated travel delays! Highly recommend her for watching your pets!”

“Tina did an amazing job accommodating Daisy in her for home while we were away on vacation. Her communication is excellent and her frequent updates made me feel at ease.”

“Eugene and his fiancé are amazing! My dog Ranger was so loved and taken care of the few days that we were gone. We can’t wait to use them again! They loved Ranger the way we love Ranger which is so incredible.”

“Amber and Dane were great with our pup Bogey. We introduced her to their dogs and they got along great. Really nice dog accommodations and backyard space with covered area. They were flexible with pick up/drop off, even stayed up late when our flight was delayed so we could pick up. She was nice and tuckered out after a few days of playing. Will definitely use them again!”

“John had my Bruno for over 2 weeks and he was wonderful. My dog is very attached to me and I worried about leaving him with a stranger. My Bruno quickly adopted John and he was treated better than John treats his own dogs. John sent me pictures with comical stories daily. I did feel like John became a little attached to my Bruno because he didn’t want him to leave. He even offered to trade 3 of his dogs for my 1 Bruno. I would highly recommend and would definitely use him again.”

“Highly recommend Ben and Shannon! This is such a nice family. We felt so comfortable leaving our two dogs and could tell they were in great hands. They kept us updated the entire stay and took great care of our two babies. They made sure to send us pictures the whole stay which included adorable photos of their kids walking our dogs and cuddling with them. They really treated them like family. Our dogs were in the best care there and so loved! My husband and I kept joking that they may not want to come home haha. We will defintely book again!”

“Jenn was great! It’s reassuring to know that your pets are in good hands when you’re away. Jenn took excellent care of my dog, during her stay Jenn had great communication and provided updates and photos. I definitely plan to re book for my future vacations!”

“Stacy was great and made sure my little dude was comfortable at her house; as he can be very anxious in a new place. She had homemade treats and did a doggy painting for the 4th of July (so the dog(s) can be distracted during fireworks). I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kathleen is truly a gem! I cannot recommend Kathleen enough as a dog-sitter. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in her care. She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely loves animals—which shows in every interaction. Kathleen took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, quirks, and routines, and kept me updated with adorable photos and messages while I was away.”

“Cookie was treated like family, they were very sweet with him. Shannon kept me posted on his stay, her and her family are very friendly. We definitely recommend her services, they are dog lovers!”


“After two boardings Crystal has been awesome. She provides pictures of the fur baby and is quick to communicate how they are doing. Took absolutely amazing care of our pooch. I highly recommended Crystal.”

“Excellent communication! We are so happy we have a safe/caring environment to take our dog to when we go away for a few days. We received plenty of pictures and updates of how he was doing during his stay. We would definitely recommend to others whom are looking for a reliable place to board their pet. Thank you Sabrina!”

“Lauren is fantastic! She is so professional, sweet with Mack and a fabulous communicator! We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!”


“Anna did a great job watching our fur babies, she kept us informed of their eating/litter box activities and sent photos of our kitties. Will absolutely use Anna again.”

“Karen was a lifesaver on a recent last minute spring vacation. I even messed up one full day when booking, and she was incredibly understanding and helpful. I’m new to Rover and have a pack of four dogs (a Yorkie Poo, English Retreiver, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and a Pitt). Karen came by, met my babies, and agreed to take care of them. She is absolutely lovely. She updated me every time she stopped by and made sure I knew the dogs were doing well. She was always on time and even picked up after them when needed (kid lost a stuffy) Thank you Karen, for keeping my babies safe and well cared for.”


“Briana was so great. She kept us informed of everything going on with our pups. And she sent pictures every visit. They got extra treats (per my request) and wanted for nothing while we were away (7 days). We really enjoyed meeting w Briana before our trip. She'd be a perfect match for anyone needing a long term sitter.”
“I was reluctant to use rover because I haven’t been away from my cat before but she was amazing!! She gave daily updates and pictures and made me feel comfortable with the idea of rover. Will 100% book her again the next time I leave town 🩷”

“Madison took care of our cat Sasha when we had to go out of town. She was punctual and did exactly what we asked. We will definitely get her help next time we have the need.”


“Madison was wonderful!! She let me know when her visits started and ended, and sent me many pictures of my cat every day. I will definitely be rebooking Madison!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and helped friends and family take care of their pets. I house-sat throughout college. And growing up, neighbors would frequently trust me to take care of their pets while on vacation. I’ve looked after a variety of dogs, large dogs (Rottweiler and Goldens) and small (Yorkies and other terriers). I love them all. I’ve personally owned 2 boxers (one of which I rescued) and grew up with Dachshunds and a Scottish terrier. My husband has owned miniature Schnauzers. We are very knowledgeable in a variety of breeds. I work part-time during the week so there may be times where your pet will have to be alone for at least 8 hrs. We are both very active and outdoor lovers, so your pet won’t be cooped up inside all day, unless that is your preference. We have a fenced yard with security cameras. We pride ourselves on organization and paying attention to detail, so your baby will be prioritized and well taken of.

About: I've kept cats nearly my entire life, starting with our family cat at 4 years old. I believe cats are unique in their independent nature and way of communication, and I personally take a philosophy of patience when interacting with them. I currently have one tortoiseshell named Iris and she is a handful!
“Stephen has been really amazing with our 3 cats. They can be shy but he managed to find them and take pictures to send us while away. They started to warm up to him. Very happy with the services provided! Will 100% book him again.”

About: I am opening up my home to dogs that need a place to crash while their owners are away. I will treat your dog as if it was my own. I currently have 2 boys who love to play in the fenced-in back yard, alongside the chickens. My dogs have been trained by myself, as I am also a certified dog trainer. I have fostered many puppies in the past through a local shelter and have taken care of friends’ dogs’ as well. Message me for more details!!! When I work my full time job I am gone for 2 weeks at a time, so when I am off work I am available/home 24/7. Your pet will immediately join in my daily routine as I stay active with my own two dogs, unless specified otherwise. I am home most of the day unless I need to run errands. I can easily conform to your pet’s needs when required. I will treat your dog as if it was my own. Within my home, all pets will be held to a similar standard to create a safe and non bias environment. I have recently converted my garage into a temperature controlled pet room, with kennels/crates, to give each pet their own space and time to themselves, if need be. I also use this room to separate dogs while I am out to prevent an unsafe environment, if it was to arise. I also have a large fenced in backyard where the dogs have plenty of room to romp, separate from the chickens. If I am to visit your home I will treat it as mine, clean up any messes made by your pet and lock up after the visit.
“Gage did a great job for us watching our two dogs. He was there for all the scheduled times and did a fantastic job giving them their meds and getting them to eat. I would recommend Gage to anyone and plan on using him again each time we need a dog sitter.”

“Haley was wonderful! She was always on time, followed every silly instruction we had for our cats, and we appreciate her availability on a holiday weekend. I highly recommend her!”


About: I have two cats of my own and years of experience! My oldest is a 14 year old American shorthair and I have a 7 month old kitten. I am familiar with their body language and comfortable providing the care they need, plus lots of pets and love!
“Corinna is absolutely amazing! She did such a great job watching our cats. She kept us updated on how they were doing and spent lots of time playing with them and keeping them entertained. She even got our shy kitty to come out and play. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Eugene is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! He watched Brinkley for us (2nd time) while we took a quick day trip. Brinkley was so excited to see Eugene when we arrived, and I know he had a fun day. Thanks again, Eugene!”

“What can I say about Lorraine’s daughters and husband who watched my furbaby yesterday!??!? They were absolutely AMAZING—10/10!!! I was 100 percent at peace after meeting this beautiful family and putting Sophie in their hands! I will definitely be booking with this family again and again!!!!”

“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”


“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Kathleen is so great, she kept us updated throughout the whole day and even sent videos of Lola! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be booking with her again!”
“We used Angie four days for Doggie Daycare when I was out of town and my husband was working all day. She was AMAZING! Our dog loved her and enjoyed spending time with Angie each day! We will definitely use her again in the future! I’m so excited we found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since childhood! Easy going and always around. I have experience with basic obedience training, kennel training, and have cared for aggressive animals. Military family who understand sometimes you can’t be around for your furry friends, and need extra help. I’m currently a SAHM and military wife with extra time, and in need of an outlet. I have two children, and two fur babies - Theo & Evey. They’re are my everyday pals! Looking for regular visitors or occasional drop ins. 🐶🤍 I do have a fenced yard and let the dogs out to play freely. I also am experienced with anxiety ridden dogs as my shepherd is one of them. I can easily crate animals dependent on need. Extremely flexible!🥰
“Millie had a great day with Nichole! Nichole was responsive and updated me throughout the day on how our girl was doing. She was comfortable keeping an eye on her while she recovered from her spay and administered meds for us! We are so grateful!”

“I needed a last minute sitter and Mackenzie was there for me! She was courteous and friendly. My pup will definitely go back. I love how she let my puppy play with another pup! She sent videos and pictures to ease my mind that my pup was in the right place. I highly recommend Mackenzie (Vozzie)”

“My dog Coco enjoyed Tina’s doggy daycare. Tina was very friendly, responsive, and had great communication. She also gave very helpful notes at the end of my dog’s stay. Would definitely recommend!”


“Daisy had a great time with Cassandra and Tradd. She had a fun time playing with noodle and macaroni as well as their two children. Very thankful we found them and absolutely intend on reaching out the next time we are going out of town!”

“My dog is extremely attached to me, so I was nervous about leaving her with a sitter. However, Akemi has the disposition and experience I was pretty sure would work for my dog, and I was right! Akemi has been fantastic about entertaining my dog, so she isn't so sad while also creating such a loving and positive environment for my dog that my dog now adores her too! She was able to quickly bond with my dog making it so my dog and I both feel comfortable leaving her with Akemi. Akemi is quickly responsive to messages and always sends a detailed report with plenty of pictures after each session. I feel confident I am leaving my dog in secure and loving hands.”

About: I have been taking care of my family and friends' dogs for over 30 years now and have decided to do this to help out family, friends and to meet new friends as well. I absolutely love animals, but dogs are the best! There is something about them that gives me peace, comfort and joy! I am available whenever you need, except when I travel. My apartment will only accommodate small and medium dogs. Preferably hypoallergenic. I would prefer meeting the dog prior to boarding. I have experience administering meds if needed. I do work during the day from home, so I will be home all day with my pups!! Special skills would be lots of loving and cuddling! :) I will love and care for your dog as if they were my own! I work from home, so unless I need to run out or have an event, they will not be left alone for no more than 4 to 6 hours depending on the event. Generally speaking, I do not have that many events. 😊 I do have carpet and the majority of my dogs are crate trained for when I need to leave the house. Since I'm home, I will only need to crate if I can't take them with me. I do not want to risk any damages so this is non-negotiable. Crate-trained only.
“Kobie was GREAT with my baby! I loved getting a video of him settling in within 20 minutes of dropping him off at doggy day care. Jax had a great time with Kobie’s dogs and he was well taken care of!”

“As a healthcare worker it is so hard to find doggy daycare for 12+ hour shifts so my poor pup would be alone for most of the day till a neighbor or friend came to help. Then a co worker recommended Rachael! It only took two days of daycare for my puppy to sprint out of my car into her arms. He is so in love with her and from the videos I see I can see why. He has so much fun and gets so much love from her! It has been such a relief knowing I can work my long shifts and not worry about him being alone or needing to go potty, and most of all he’s with someone I can trust! I love picking him up all tuckered out after my long shifts and being able to all go straight to bed without needing to get extra zoomies out!! Needless to say we are booked for the rest of the month and waiting on my next schedule to book more!”

“Autumn was really great! She helped my nervous dog decompress, feel comfortable, and stay entertained. She sends photo updates and is very quick to respond to messages. Will definitely go back to her for more services!”

About: As a stay-at-home mom and lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for dogs, cats, puppies, and senior pets. I currently care for my own dogs and cats and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, administering basic medications, cleaning up accidents, crate training routines, and providing lots of attention and affection. Since I’m home most of the day, I can offer flexible scheduling and plenty of supervision. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. Because I’m home most of the time, I can give pets plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime while their owners are away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and take potty breaks. I currently have friendly pets of my own and always supervise introductions to ensure everyone is comfortable. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and crate preferences. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety, cleanliness, and communication are my priorities. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! This was first time using Rover and what a great experience! She took great care of our baby boy. We could not have asked for more. She made our trip work and I cannot thank her enough!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life. I’ve also worked at a pet store for 6 years. Work experience includes fish, birds, small animals, reptiles and amphibians, arachnids, cats, and dogs. I am stay at home dog mom who just moved from Springfield, MO, so I will have plenty of free time to check in on your pets! I have plenty of experience walking large-medium dogs and reactive dogs.

About: Hi! My name is Rheagan. I am a huge dog lover, and I have my own little fur ball at home :) I’ve had dogs my entire life and since I was a little girl I’ve always had a special place in my heart for them. I also have over 100+ 5⭐️ ratings on the Wag! Caregiver app. I’m working and going to school part time, but can work around both. My availability is based on both my work along with my school schedule. However, we can work around both :) I will care for your pet by making sure they are well hydrated and fed. I will let them out, walk them, and give them plenty of love aswell as treats.

About: • Individualized care: I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—no one-size-fits-all care. • Emotional well-being matters: I focus on helping pets feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable while you’re away. • Routine-focused: I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule so their days feel familiar and low-stress. • Clear communication: I provide consistent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. • Care like my own: Every pet I care for gets the same attention, patience, and respect I’d give my own animals. My life revolves around what my animals need. I look forward to giving that quality care to your pet! I strive to give my animals the best life possible. I am excited to give your pets the best care. I follow instructions that pet parents leave. I double lead canines if needed. I double check all gear before heading out for walks. I advocate for your animal and make them the priority.

About: I absolutely love taking care of pets, especially dogs! I have a lot of energy to keep all dogs entertained. I have dog sitted before and absolutely enjoyed it. Seeing the dogs get excited when you show them the leash or even just show up is the best feeling ever! I try to get to know each dog as best as I can. If a dogs is super hyper and likes to go on runs, then I will do it. If a dog likes to walk at a slower pace, then we will walk at that pace. Each dog is special in their own way. I can also help clean any part of the house while watching over the dogs, if any help is needed. I am currently working during the week ( Monday- Friday) but I am free on anytime during the weekends. For Monday-Friday it just depends when you will need me and I can adjust. I can care for your pet in your own if they are more comfortable. Or I can have them in my own which has a fenced in yard.
About: I have had dogs for more than 20 years and love to go for long walks and watch them play in our big fenced yard I work a combination of at home and in the office so I’m available most times to keep your pet company, hang out and play/walk. I have a big, fenced yard and two great golden retrievers to keep your baby company. They love to run and play and sometimes swim!
About: I currently have two well loved pups, both on daily medication. I believe every pup deserves love, regardless of behavior or perceived aggression. I have experience with heartworm positive dogs as well as dogs who experience seizures. I only work part time, and complete education online for the time being so I am available with lots of free time for your furry friend! I will occasionally have my partner over for meals or to just hang out if I am house sitting, depending on the distance and length of the booking. I believe that keeping an animal clean and safe is the best way to ensure health, as well as making sure the animal is comfortable with me. If I am watching someone who is shy, I am more than happy to give them their space (while ensuring they are safe).

About: I adore taking care of dogs (and cats and fish too!) and would love to feed, water, and spend some time with your special fur baby. I enjoy dogs walks and maybe even a short run if they're up for it. I've had pets my whole life. I currently own two fun-loving doggies: a kind high-energy beagle-mix, and an adorable mischeivious shiba inu. I have been sitting and walking dogs for about 3 years. I am strong and have never been pulled out of control. I've been through 2 puppy/dog training courses, one in Wilmington, NC in 2001 and one in Chesapeake, VA in 2017. I have a calm, accepting, and kind demeanor that almost all dogs (and cats!) really enjoy. I hope I get to meet your sweet pet soon!

I must be home at 3:30 each day to get my daughter off the bus and I drop her off at school on weekdays at 7am. I have a large open yard with forest surrounding the house. I have a lead if needed for pottying and outdoor exercise. I have a spayed toy poodle at home that is friendly to all animals and can be separated if your pet does not enjoy being around other dogs.
“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!”

“Kristina helped us so much by walking our dog while we were stuck at work. She did a great job communicating with us, and we loved getting the rover cards with the details of the walk. We'll definitely use her again.”
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 taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was in 9th grade (13 years old). i have taken care or dogs ranging from a Jack Russel mix to owning a Cane Corso. I have also had training from professionals on how to handle larger breeds and I love taking time to train dogs and see them grow and learn new things. I have been relied on by many friends to help them train their dogs and dog sit, rather it be to let them out to pee, feed and water their dog, to staying overnight for a week. I currently am gone for work from 530am to 230/300pm. I do however have roommates at the house during these times that can help watch your fur babies!

I also have space to put crates in my garage and in the first room if needed. Although my dog does have a kennel, he doesn't get locked up during the day. I do however require pets to be kennel trained and come with a kennel for me to be able to watch them.

“Lauren was wonderful and Winston was in such great hands. We got pictures of him and we knew he had become a part of their family during our trip. Winston gives his stay 5 stars too! Thank you Lauren!”

“Maria & Matthew are the absolute best! We’ve used them twice and each time it gets better! Our dog loves his mini vaca at their house with his doggie friends. Their communication is incredible! Maria and Matthew are our go to sitters!”

“We booked boarding services for our three pups with Eric just 48 hours prior to going on vacation. Upon visiting Eric’s home for introduction and so he could meet our pups, we knew this was going to be a great experience. Eric and his family run a very impressive boarding service and he kept us up to date on the status of our fur babies. We’ve already booked his boarding services for two other vacations this year. 10 Star worthy!!!”

“Amber and Dane were great with our pup Bogey. We introduced her to their dogs and they got along great. Really nice dog accommodations and backyard space with covered area. They were flexible with pick up/drop off, even stayed up late when our flight was delayed so we could pick up. She was nice and tuckered out after a few days of playing. Will definitely use them again!”

“John had my Bruno for over 2 weeks and he was wonderful. My dog is very attached to me and I worried about leaving him with a stranger. My Bruno quickly adopted John and he was treated better than John treats his own dogs. John sent me pictures with comical stories daily. I did feel like John became a little attached to my Bruno because he didn’t want him to leave. He even offered to trade 3 of his dogs for my 1 Bruno. I would highly recommend and would definitely use him again.”

“Stacy was great and made sure my little dude was comfortable at her house; as he can be very anxious in a new place. She had homemade treats and did a doggy painting for the 4th of July (so the dog(s) can be distracted during fireworks). I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kathleen is truly a gem! I cannot recommend Kathleen enough as a dog-sitter. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in her care. She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely loves animals—which shows in every interaction. Kathleen took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, quirks, and routines, and kept me updated with adorable photos and messages while I was away.”

“Cookie was treated like family, they were very sweet with him. Shannon kept me posted on his stay, her and her family are very friendly. We definitely recommend her services, they are dog lovers!”


“After two boardings Crystal has been awesome. She provides pictures of the fur baby and is quick to communicate how they are doing. Took absolutely amazing care of our pooch. I highly recommended Crystal.”

“Megan and her family were really great with our baby girl Sage. She has anxiety, but they made her feel comfortable while we were gone for 5 days. She sent us plenty of photos and videos and always kept us updated. And Sage made some new fur Friends. We will most certainly be booking again. Thanks Megan!”

“This was the best home for Sanji!!! You can tell this family loves animals and Sanji was the happiest here. Trust that Renata and her family will love you pet as their own.❤️”

“Kobie was very accommodating and professional! Our pup was extremely happy and tired after his stay. I highly recommend Kobie and the service he provides. Five stars!”

“Beth was fantastic with our Goldendoodle, Remington! He and her dog Chloe became fast friends, and we loved getting daily photo updates. It was clear he was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

“Katja did a terrific job taking care of my sweet little dog! She sent me updates and pictures every day to let me know how she was doing, she even sent me a couple of videos. Katja and her family treated my baby like part of their family. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Exceptional! Super communicative and clearly took care of Hanzo like he was their own. Incredibly happy with how well they took care of him! Will absolutely book again!”
