“Brenda did a fantastic job keeping our 'baby' safe and happy! She kept us supplied with pictures showing Ezzie enjoying her surroundings and new friends. We would recommend Brenda for everyone wanting to go on vacation knowing that their animal is going to have as good of a time (probably better!) than they do in a caring, safe environment.”
“I’m tremendously excited because I have found my fur baby an excellent sitter. Kari has been a heaven sent. It was during an emergency that I found her listed here on Rover. She created a wonderful atmosphere to care for my fur baby while I was away. She followed all my instructions and even sent a photo during his stay. He was a happy bean when I returned to pick him up. I love it, I’ll definitely keep her in mind for my next getaway.”
“I really felt like Enzo was being taken care of the whole time I was gone. Emily was very kind and flexible with my schedule. I even got some really good professional grade pictures from her of Enzo! All around great experience.”
“This family was a delight to work with and they were so loving with my dog. They would have happily kept him forever but I couldn’t part with him. It was a huge relief to board him in a location where he received personal attention and lots of play time.”
“Absolutely awesome! Jolene has been awesome to work with and she has been flexible with drop off and pick up times if anything unexpected comes up. She’s so kind and took great care of my pup! I really appreciate her!”
“Alliyah was so kind and caring with my dog Thor. She reached out everyday to let me know how my boy was doing and to give me the most detailed updates. I felt so comfortable knowing how well he was being looked after. I highly recommend her services and will absolutely use her again in the future. Thanks so much Alliyah!!”
“Layna and the family have always taken great care of my two fur babies. This time is no exception. Especially since one of my pups had to be given medications twice a day by syringe. She handled it like a champ especially since this was a last minute notification. She is my favorite sitter and she will always be my first choice. Highly recommended!!”
“Casey and her family were amazing! The dogs really seemed to enjoy playing with them. They have a nice yard for them to run and play. They seemed very happy there, which makes us happy. They took them in as part of their family, while we had to be away. That was such a relief for us. Thanks Casey and kids! God Bless you! K & D+”
“I had surgery so I found Chantel to watch my two dogs for two weeks. Well, what turned into two weeks turned into four weeks total and Chantel was very gracious to keep my two dogs for another two weeks, which was quite unexpected. Chantel did a very good job in meeting their needs and keeping me informed of how they were doing. I would highly recommend Chantel in the future.”
“Marketa and her family were so sweet to Snickers and treated him wonderfully. He came home happy and healthy! I loved all the pictures and updates sent throughout the week. Definitely will use again in the future!”
“Hillary was great! We loved the numerous photos she sent throughout the day and our puppy, Wriggly loved being there. I could tell by how tired Wriggly was when we picked him up that Hillary had given him lots of play time and he wasn't cooped up all day.”
“Desiree came through on a last minute request for us. She boarded our puppy for 4 nights and was very responsive with communication and pictures throughout. When we picked our pup up she had timed his bathroom break just right and included a chew bone and dental greenie. Overall we were very happy with her services.”
“Falen took great care of my older girl when she was not feeling her best. She came home seeming content and balanced, without signs of overstimulation or boredom. I loved knowing that she was in a family environment for the week, instead of a sterile boarding facility feeling abandoned. The daily communication was comforting and they managed her medical needs well. I would book here again for overnights or a daytime stay. Thanks guys!”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job taking care of Bentley while I was on vacation. She kept me updated throughout the week and sent me pictures of him. He can be a timid dog so his immediate comfort level around Jennifer was so relieving! I would absolutely recommend Jennifer and will use her again when going away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.
“Kasalyn was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Addyson and Addyson had a great time. Kasalyn was very kind, made me feel comfortable and eased my mind about leaving my baby. She also send lots of awesome pictures and updates. Thanks for all you did Kasalyn😊”

I would absolutely recommend Jessica and would be happy to book with her again.”

About: I’m a huge cat lover who has experience cat sitting and caring for cats with different personalities and routines. I know how important it is for cats to feel comfortable and relaxed in their own environment, so I always focus on being patient, calm, and attentive to their needs.

I’m dependable, caring, and committed to making sure your cat feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is also very flexible, so I’m available for a variety of days and times!
“Leaving our kitties with Laura was like a dear family member or friend caring for them. She was so attentive to each one’s special needs, going above and beyond with our “problem child” and our seniors with health needs. She was very communicative, open to suggestions and additional needs, and provided great detail photos so we could see how they were fairing. I would highly recommend her and would happily work with her again and again. You can rest assured, Laura really does love animals and is amazing with people too. 🐾☺️”

“Ainsley was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were out of town, sent us pictures, and even washed our sheets and vacuumed before we returned. It is so great not having to worry about Ollie while we are out of town. Would definitely recommend Ainsley for any pet sitting you need, she is great!”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 6 years old. I love horses, snakes, wild life. I was a dog sitter!

“We LOVE Karissa. She is attentive and communicative and we trust her with things like trimming our cat’s nails. Karissa is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, and we love working with her!”
“Tia did an amazing job with Midnight. This was his 1st time completely alone since we lost his sister 3 weeks ago. Tia got pictures of him doing some of the same things he does when we are there. It was obvious that Midnight was very comfortable with Tia. Thank you Tia so much for loving our baby.”
“Emma was awesome! She made sure to communicate every time she stopped by the house to feed and check on the pets. Our cat who doesn’t always like everyone was in love with her! So you know she has good energy. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and Emma made sure we knew our pets were doing well and were comfortable and cared for. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
About: This response highlights your family environment while emphasizing safety and trust: Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, pets are welcomed into a loving family environment with a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and explore under supervision. We are a pet-loving household with two friendly family dogs and family cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions, monitoring interactions, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routines to reduce stress and help them feel at ease while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, or simply providing companionship, I give each pet personalized attention based on their individual needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets and home are receiving reliable, attentive care. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing experience that allows pets to stay happy and owners to enjoy complete peace of mind.
About: Clara is my first cat, and I’ve raised her since she was a kitten. She came litter-box trained, but I’ve kept up with regular cleaning and deep-cleaning to keep her space fresh and comfortable. When she was spayed, I handled her after-care and medication, so I’m comfortable giving meds and supporting cats through recovery. I love keeping her happy and stimulated, so I’m always rotating toys and creating fun ways for her to play. Caring for Clara has taught me a lot about feline routines, body language, and the little details that make cats feel safe and loved.
About: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.
About: I have a long history of working with dogs and other animals. Your companion will get several walks per day on the trails, varying in length from 1 to 5 miles at a time depending on your dogs energy level and tolerance. Option of having me take your dog to a dog park for extra play time and socialization if you would like them to go. I currently bring my dog to the park on a daily basis. Grooming included if requested by owner including bathing, brushing and nail clipping. Current friendly dog in residence for your pup to play with as well, I have yet to meet a dog she doesn't get along with. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

“This is our second time booking Marketa for Cadence's daycare while we were in town for an event. She did a great job with her 2 years ago that I immediately thought to reach out to her again when we returned this year. Marketa is attentive and caring with Cadence and sent us photo updates of how she was doing. She got along well with the other doggos and even cuddled up to her on the couch. I never have any worries about Cadence when she stayed with her, and would recommend Marketa to anyone in the neighborhood. Thank you!”

I was out of town for the wholeeeee day, leaving very early and returning extremely late, and they kept him safe and very happy the entire time! Updates were frequently and detailed, which is great for this helicopter pet parent! 1000x would recommend to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!”

I have over 15 years of experience helping and taking care of animals. I love being around your fury friends helping them feel safe and loved while you are away. Working at a vet also taught me how to give animals their medications if needed.

It’s so nice to have a reliable, responsible pet sitter who clearly loves and cares about dogs. Thanks, Kaylee!”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.

“An excellent walker, doesn't mind that the dog walks come with an additional (injured) human, extra helpful and overall a great experience for both me and Loki 10/10 would recommend”
About: I've grown up with dogs and have years of pet sitting experience in both my home and clients' homes. I also have 2 of my own who are part of my everyday life...spoiled, loved and always by my side. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or playtime, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and never alone. I enjoy getting down on their level, playing, and making walks something they truly look forward to. I have a flexible schedule and can spend extended time with your pet if needed. If you'd like someone to stay during the day while you're at work, I'm happy to bring my laptop and keep your dog company, offering attention, breaks, and playtime throughout the day. If you're looking for someone dependable who will treat your dog like family, I'd love to help. I have a flexible, remote work schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention: * Monday-Thursday: Available early mornings until 11am, and again from 3:30pm into the evening. *Friday & Saturday: Open availability * Sunday: Available starting at 11am through the evening Because I work remotely, I'm also happy to stay longer during the day if your pet needs extra company. I can bring my laptop and be there beyond a standard drop-in. I love getting outside for longer walks (3-4 miles) but I'm just as happy to do shorter walks to help your pup burn off some energy. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times. Before our first visit, I like to learn about any triggers, behaviors, or how they do with other dogs so I can tailor care to keep them calm and comfortable. I also check with you before giving treats and make sure I'm aware of any allergies or dietary restrictions. Most visits will take place in your home for your pet's comfort. However, if you ever prefer occasional care at my home, I have a fenced-in backyard and a Jeep for safe transport. You can always feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with consistency, attention, and genuine love every time I'm with them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 3 years now. I can do various things including walking and bathing almost any dog. Taking care of dogs is my job and I love it! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to do walks/drop ins pretty frequently throughout any day of the week.

“Arabella was fantastic with my fur babies. Super reliable, communicated well, and really appreciated how affectionate she was to all of my fur babies. Definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my whole life. I used to own a black lab named chance. When I was young, we took care of him and took him on walks. He was a very shy dog that we rescued. When I got older. I got a bichon her name is Lime. We’ve had her for 18 years now and she is a blessing to my life. We Walker go runs with take her to the groomers vets and much more to make sure that she is safe and having the best life she can. I’m a college student and huge dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently intern at WSET ABC 13 News, where I’ve developed strong communication, responsibility, and time-management skills. I have a tiny bichon named Lime who keeps life fun and energetic, and growing up I had a black lab named Chance, which helped build my lifelong love for animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! My main thing is to care for the dog as the client wants. I wanna make sure the dogs are exercised and also just happy overall. I’m available to do almost anything. The client wants to guarantee the happiness of your dog. As a fellow dog owner, I love my bichon. She’s such a blessing to me back home so I fully understand how far we’ll go to keep our little Furrey friends happy. (My bichon currently lives somewhere else)
“Kaylee was amazing! She responded quickly and stayed in touch with me each day of her visit. She has patience with shy pets, and my dog warmed right up to her after the first walk. Definitely would use her again!”
“Abigail is wonderful! This was my first time with Rover, and she made it easy. She came over for a meet and greet, sent me updates, and took great care of my crazy babies.”
“Laura has been wonderful with walking my rather high maintenance pups. I don't know how I would have made it through the holidays without her help. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and flexible. She always takes the time to show my babies special love and affection and that has meant the world to me. Thank you Laura!”

I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).
About: I’ve grown to LOVE walking/running with my dogs. Trained my pup Ozzy from not being able to walk down the street (as he was afraid of cars) to walking about 5 miles a day. I find the exercise helps him perform better with all other tasks and training behaviors. I’ve used running and walking dogs as an outlet to help me and the dogs maintain good health and habits! Here to spread the love. I have two very well behaved dogs with a back yard with room to play. I incorporate routine drills with positive reinforced treats, pets, and encouragement to keep them occupied with good habits in a good environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dog ever since I was a little boy! My own, friends and neighbors animals as well to keep them safe. Also I can take care of some little pets I’m currently in school and I have free time in the afternoon most days. I’m just looking to make some extra money around town and hopefully walk your lovely dog! I make sure I keep a good eye on them the whole time I’m there and make sure nothing is wrong or out the norm.
About: In my career I have worked with animals of all shapes and sizes! I specialize in animal behavior and husbandry. I’ve held my dog training certification for over 6 years and have loved working with people and their dogs every step of the way. I believe in helping dog owners better understand their pet through behavior education, training, and enrichment! I am available on a very flexible schedule for you and your dog! I can do drop in visits as well as in home or public access training! I treat every animal with respect for their individual needs! From a simple visit with basic obedience to advanced training and behavior-I’m here to help!

“Absolutely awesome! Jolene has been awesome to work with and she has been flexible with drop off and pick up times if anything unexpected comes up. She’s so kind and took great care of my pup! I really appreciate her!”
“Alliyah was so kind and caring with my dog Thor. She reached out everyday to let me know how my boy was doing and to give me the most detailed updates. I felt so comfortable knowing how well he was being looked after. I highly recommend her services and will absolutely use her again in the future. Thanks so much Alliyah!!”
“Casey and her family were amazing! The dogs really seemed to enjoy playing with them. They have a nice yard for them to run and play. They seemed very happy there, which makes us happy. They took them in as part of their family, while we had to be away. That was such a relief for us. Thanks Casey and kids! God Bless you! K & D+”
“Marketa and her family were so sweet to Snickers and treated him wonderfully. He came home happy and healthy! I loved all the pictures and updates sent throughout the week. Definitely will use again in the future!”
“Hillary was great! We loved the numerous photos she sent throughout the day and our puppy, Wriggly loved being there. I could tell by how tired Wriggly was when we picked him up that Hillary had given him lots of play time and he wasn't cooped up all day.”
“Falen took great care of my older girl when she was not feeling her best. She came home seeming content and balanced, without signs of overstimulation or boredom. I loved knowing that she was in a family environment for the week, instead of a sterile boarding facility feeling abandoned. The daily communication was comforting and they managed her medical needs well. I would book here again for overnights or a daytime stay. Thanks guys!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.
“Kasalyn was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Addyson and Addyson had a great time. Kasalyn was very kind, made me feel comfortable and eased my mind about leaving my baby. She also send lots of awesome pictures and updates. Thanks for all you did Kasalyn😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my whole life. I used to own a black lab named chance. When I was young, we took care of him and took him on walks. He was a very shy dog that we rescued. When I got older. I got a bichon her name is Lime. We’ve had her for 18 years now and she is a blessing to my life. We Walker go runs with take her to the groomers vets and much more to make sure that she is safe and having the best life she can. I’m a college student and huge dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently intern at WSET ABC 13 News, where I’ve developed strong communication, responsibility, and time-management skills. I have a tiny bichon named Lime who keeps life fun and energetic, and growing up I had a black lab named Chance, which helped build my lifelong love for animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! My main thing is to care for the dog as the client wants. I wanna make sure the dogs are exercised and also just happy overall. I’m available to do almost anything. The client wants to guarantee the happiness of your dog. As a fellow dog owner, I love my bichon. She’s such a blessing to me back home so I fully understand how far we’ll go to keep our little Furrey friends happy. (My bichon currently lives somewhere else)
“Trooper helped us out by boarding our recently adopted Shih Tzu Stanley over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our new fur baby came to us with somewhat severe behavioral issues and was not ready for a large get together with kids so we reluctantly decided to board him during our travels. After connecting with Trooper, we had every confidence that Stanley's aggressiveness would not be problematic during his stay, and were so pleased with how well he was cared for. We received updates and pictures and were so relieved he received a safe, warm and friendly place to stay. Trooper has a huge dog-friendly compound where his dogs and those who he boards have plenty of room for running and playing, and a fantastic heated kennel house where the dogs are safe and protected from the elements. We provided all of Stanley's food, treats and creature comforts so he would feel more at home, and he was in very good spirits when we came to retrieve him. We would definitely trust Trooper with Stanley or or other senior Shih Tzu in the future. Highly recommend!!!”
“We had a great experience with John and his wife. They kept us informed and our dogs clearly had a great time and were well cared for. They have lots of backyard space for our dogs to run which they need.”
“Merry was such a great pet sitter ! It was my 1 st time using rover.com and i didn’t know what to exspect so I messaged a few peoeple and Merry was the 1 st to respond with in minutes.

My 1 1/2 year old German Shepard went right up to her with out any problems, he instantly felt the love ! Thankyou again Marry”

Great first experience using Rover - I would recommend Allison for anyone looking for a caring dogsitter!!”
