Desirae was also very flexible with the needs of my pups and with pickup/drop off times. Would definitely book with her again.

All you need to know is that Angel’s ears perk up when we tell her she is going to stay with Scott and Sarah. They take very good care of her and ease the guilt of me being away because, to Angel, it’s a treat.

About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!

Heather is absolutely amazing! We’ve never left one of our dogs with anyone outside of family and it was so nice to see they had a blast and made themselves feel right at home. She is flexible, quick response time and has plenty of room for our dogs to run and play, also meeting some new friends with their dogs. We will keep our dogs going to Heather anytime we leave town and she is available.

Jordan was amazing. In her profile she mentions last-minute options & that saved our last minute trip. I'm new to Rover & expected people's availability was accurate but over a dozen people provided bad info. She accepted hours before we dropped our dog with her. She was kind & brought my dog on errands & Starbucks for a pup cup.😂 Her location is super convenient driving from Arlington to 81 on 66. She has a few children that loved playing with Opal. She didn't introduce her dog with ours which is fine. Would definitely reach out again if we go that way.

About: I love dogs and can't wait to take care of your furry friend! I have a large home, plenty of room for your dog to stretch out. I have a yellow lab/golden retriever mix who is very friendly. I have a fenced yard (about half an acre) and another 9 acres of unfenced area. I work from home during the week, so will have plenty of time for walks, play-time, etc. I am good with all ages/sizes. I will ensure your dog is comfortable and safe, and has plenty of attention! I work from home so am always around to care for your pets! Will have plenty of potty breaks and play time. If I have to step out I can crate your pet or not, whichever you prefer. I have a fenced in yard I work from home so am always around to care for your pets!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and done training and dog walking in a shelter as a volunteer. I love getting dogs outside and letting them run around. I have been hiking with my dog for his entire life and was able to train him on the leash and off the leash to allow us to have the freedom to run free and the ability to get him on the leash and behave around other dogs and people on the road and on the trails. I have been dog sitting for the last 8 years and love spending time with all the pups. I can’t wait to take care of animals and give them the necessary play time and exercise when you’re not there to. I keep my schedule updated to where I am unavailable when I work to allow for your pets to get the utmost care. However I am willing to work with you around my work schedule! I have experience with reactive dogs and I will keep your dog safe and on a leash unless in a fenced in yard. I prefer staying at the dogs home to help them stay comfortable

I used Rover for the first time and chose Jordan because of experience based on her photos with bigger dogs. She booked a last minute with a 3 day commitment requiring 2 drop in visits per day. She communicated with me quick and well, sent photos etc. I was unsure about using Rover and thought I might need to call or text, but now fully confident in the service. I would book with Jordan again in the future and probably won't go back to boarding. Our dog seemed happy to stay at home, and not stress being away from us and at a kennel.

I highly recommend Darian to take care of your pets! I needed someone reliable, and on very short notice, to take care of my precious skittish cat for three weeks. Darian did a wonderful job tending to all my cat's needs, and she accomplished the amazing by quickly getting my suspicious, standoffish cat to allow her to pet her! Darian also went the extra mile of cleaning up the floor several times when my cat coughed up hairballs and had other tummy issues. Darian had not taken care of my pet before, but she stepped in like a pro and took care of her, and kept tabs on my house as well. As I said at first, I highly recommend Darian for your pet!

About: Since I was born I’ve been surrounded by animals. When I was younger neighbors would rely on me to watch their animals. I have worked with puppies (I have one of my own!) and have cared for senior doggies as well! Also love cats and all reptiles! I am newer to the area and am part time in college. I take my classes online so I tend to have a lot of free time! I spend most of my days at home with my furr babies! I currently live in the basement of my moms house with a fenced in yard that connects to the basement door! I have a puppy who stays downstairs with me and a kitten as well. They both LOVE other animals! If watching pets in your home, all directions will be followed!

About: I've cared for puppies, poodles, a parakeet, pretty black labs, and purrrfect kitties. I loved them all like they were my family. Would love to do the same for you. I'm currently semi- retired so I will have time to take your fur babies for a walk and interact with them. They will be happy when you get home! I'm a stickler for making sure your pet pal has water, food, and treats. I can bath your pet if needed. Walking your pet will not be hurried, so your pet can stop and smell the roses, or whatever dogs like to smell. Oh I will always bring doggie bags to clean up.

Not only did she accept my last minute booking, but she was open and very negotiable with pick uo & drop off times. She frequently sent pics, walked my pup multiple time a day & had no doubts leaving my dog in her care. Would highly encourage anyone to consider booking her for pet services!

About: Hi, I'm Sara@ My passion is raising confident, well-socialized family dogs through positive reinforcement, structure, and enrichment. Dogs in my care are treated like family and stay in a home environment—not a kennel. I intentionally keep my capacity small so every dog receives individual attention, exercise, play, and plenty of affection. I have experience raising and training high-energy sporting breeds and especially enjoy working with puppies and adolescent dogs. Whether your pup is learning house manners, building confidence, or simply needs a safe and loving place to stay, my goal is to provide a positive experience that supports their development. My home includes children, which helps puppies learn appropriate interactions in a family setting. Safety, communication, and consistency are my top priorities, and you'll receive regular updates and photos while your dog is in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dedicated dog owner, my days already revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, training, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Dogs in my care are treated like members of the family and are integrated into our daily routine rather than being left alone for long periods. I prioritize structured exercise, supervised play, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement training throughout the day. Because I intentionally keep my capacity limited, I can provide personalized care and ensure each dog receives the attention, consistency, and companionship they deserve. When pets stay in my home, they are cared for as part of the family in a safe, structured, and supervised environment. I follow each pet's normal feeding schedule, potty routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, enrichment activities, rest time, and affection. Because I keep my capacity limited, I am able to provide individualized care rather than a crowded kennel experience. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. For drop-in visits or care in a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and ensuring the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care while treating every pet as if they were my own

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I genuinely love being around pets and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having calm companionship, I’m happy to match their needs and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention and affection they deserve. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have a more flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship to the pets I care for. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and love making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available throughout the day and always aim to provide pets with a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m very attentive when it comes to following feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, crate schedules, and any extra instructions or preferences owners may have outside of basic care needs. In my own home, I make sure pets have plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and opportunities to feel relaxed and comfortable. I also keep multiple leash sizes available to safely accommodate different dogs and walking needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines while making sure pets receive consistent care, affection, exercise, and companionship. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I've always had a love for animals and love working with them! I've grown up with dogs and love to be around them. My mom used to breed labs and I would help her socialize and take care of the puppies to prepare them for their new homes! My family always had at least six dogs at a time that I would help take care of as well! I also used to work for a kennel for almost two years, I have worked for a doggie daycare as well for about 2 years! I am currently enrolled in an online vet tech course and plan to finish that in the next year or so. I currently work a full time job 8-430 but am available weekends and would love to watch your pets!

He’s a high energy dog that pretty much went to bed as soon as he got home and even slept in the next morning! If that’s not a testament, I don’t know what is! Thank you for taking such good care of our Leo.

About: I have lived on my parents farm my whole life. While growing up I helped raise: horses, cows, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, you name it. About 5 minutes from my home is a humane society where I use to volunteer as a dog walker and foster. I have experience in birthing and raising kittens, one of which I chose to adopt myself. He is a sweet tabby named Bruno who I have the uttermost privilege of loving. I have a sweet spot for pit bulls but ultimately I love all animals unconditionally. If you choose me, I guarantee your baby ( or babies ) will get every ounce of my care and loving affection. When it comes to my daily routine, I work remotely and am blessed with a very flexible schedule. Therefore, I’ll have plenty of free time to entertain and care for your kids. I care for animals with my absolute full attention to their needs. I be sure to stick close to them so as to be certain they are satisfied and safe. :)

About: Dogs have always been part of our life and are treated as a member of the family. When in our house the dogs are allowed on furniture and we will treat them as they were our dog. We welcome calls to check up on your animal while they are staying with us. We will give them plenty of attention and someone will be around in the house to make sure they are doing well. We look forward to having your animal stay will us and giving them attention while they are here. We can even send you pictures or videos while you are gone to see how they are enjoying their stay. I am retired as a special education teacher and enjoy animals. Last year I lost my dog Sammy who was 19 years old and look forward to being with dogs. Our family treats pets like part of our family. We like to spend time with them and interact in the house as well as outside.

I am currently available all throughout June and July. August 3rd I will be unavailable because I start a nanny job that will be full time. I am just looking for specifically summer hours in June and July. I will help feed, get into crate, or “space”, if needed train, and go for walks with the dog. I will help in anyway I can.

About: What sets me apart is my personal experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. I’ve raised and cared for five dogs throughout my life, including Labs, Golden Retrievers, Chihuahuas, and German Shepherds, so I understand the very different needs of small, medium, and large breeds. I trained my own puppy from 8 weeks old, teaching her a wide range of tricks and good behaviors, which gave me a lot of patience and training skills. I’m also comfortable handling more challenging dogs as one of my Chihuahuas was very aggressive, which taught me how to read body language and safely manage reactive pets, from a young age. In addition, I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs. I’ve helped raise multiple dogs into old age, including a German Shepherd that lived until 15, and a Labrador Retriever that lived until 17! I understand the gentleness, and care older dogs require. Overall, I bring a lot of confidence to this role because of my genuine understanding of dogs at every stage of life. I just finished my undergrad and plan to be home all summer. I begin graduate school in the fall online and will practically have no big everyday commitments. I have a few vacations planned but besides that I am an open book willing to work anytime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. (Dogs know their schedule!) I follow all instructions closely and carefully for any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I have cared for dogs that experience extreme distress from their owner being gone and I have developed my skills to better care for dogs experiencing this. I’m also very attentive to behavior and health, so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect my client’s home by secure and exactly as I found it. My goal is to make both the pet, and the owner feel completely at ease, just as I would want if my dog was being watched.

About: (Brand new to Rover) I’ve been around animals since the day I was born, and dogs have always felt like big, goofy, furry toddlers — full of personality, joy, and chaos in the best way. I currently live in an anti‑pet apartment (tragic, I know), so I’m looking to fill that dog‑shaped hole in my heart by being the next best thing: your pup’s reliable walking and hiking buddy. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves long walks, trails, and exploring. Whether your dog is a tiny ball of energy or a large, gentle giant, I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, seniors, and puppies. I’m patient, confident, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s quirks. What I offer: Long walks or trail hikes for high‑energy pups Picture updates so you can see their adventures Flexible scheduling — I’m a teacher on summer break, so I’m wide open With a friendly, upbeat personality, your dog will warm up quickly If your dog needs exercise, company, or just someone who treats them like the lovable toddler they are, I’d love to help. Let’s get your pup out exploring and having fun. As a teacher on summer break, pet care fits naturally and easily into my weekly routine. I’m active every day, walking, hiking, or spending time outdoors, so adding a dog to that rhythm feels like the most joyful part of my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility, which means I can plan walks around your dog’s needs rather than squeezing them into a tight window. (ADDITION: Until May 30th, I can only walk dogs on weekends because of my teaching and coaching schedule) Since I live in an anti‑pet apartment, all of my care happens in your home or out on the trail. I treat every dog like the big furry toddler they are, with patience, structure, and a lot of enthusiasm. Here’s what my care typically looks like: Consistent routines: I follow your feeding, walking, and potty schedule exactly as you prefer. Active outings: long walks or trail hikes for dogs who need to burn energy, or gentle strolls for seniors. Safety first: secure leashing, checking gear, watching for heat, and keeping a close eye on body language. Clean and respectful home care: wiping paws, refreshing water, tidying up any messes, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. Photo updates: I send regular pictures so you can see your pup’s adventures and feel connected while you’re away. Calm companionship: whether your dog is tiny and energetic or large and mellow, I match their vibe and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m free all summer, I can offer flexible scheduling, longer walks, and extra attention, especially for dogs who thrive on activity and routine.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and done training and dog walking in a shelter as a volunteer. I love getting dogs outside and letting them run around. I have been hiking with my dog for his entire life and was able to train him on the leash and off the leash to allow us to have the freedom to run free and the ability to get him on the leash and behave around other dogs and people on the road and on the trails. I have been dog sitting for the last 8 years and love spending time with all the pups. I can’t wait to take care of animals and give them the necessary play time and exercise when you’re not there to. I keep my schedule updated to where I am unavailable when I work to allow for your pets to get the utmost care. However I am willing to work with you around my work schedule! I have experience with reactive dogs and I will keep your dog safe and on a leash unless in a fenced in yard. I prefer staying at the dogs home to help them stay comfortable

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life on a regular basis. I am very loving and patient towards dogs but know how to handle them if things get out of control. I have worked at multiple dog day cares and used to run a foster system at home. I am a good dog trainer and very affectionate. My last employment was as a supervisor for a Dog daycare where I looked after multiple dogs and was trusted to handle dozens alone if needed. I have always loved working with dogs and have gathered a'lot of experience understanding and taking care of them. I know that I can take care of your dog with the best of care on a reliable and professional level. I am currently taking online classes at school and thus have a flexible availability that works for taking care of dogs and cats. It also adds into my love for animals. I have always had a dog in my house or apartment and would care for your dog the same way at your home. I get up at 6am daily and feed the dogs and then walk them for about 30min to ensure fresh air and energy. I make sure to give them adequate attention in the house and ensure they are also comfortable and have time to sleep.

She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.

Walking your pet will not be hurried, so your pet can stop and smell the roses, or whatever dogs like to smell. Oh I will always bring doggie bags to clean up.

Desirae took excellent care of my fur babies. She sent lots of pictures throughout the stay as well which was much appreciated. They always looked happy in the pictures as well. Desirae was also very flexible with the needs of my pups and with pickup/drop off times. Would definitely book with her again.

All you need to know is that Angel’s ears perk up when we tell her she is going to stay with Scott and Sarah. They take very good care of her and ease the guilt of me being away because, to Angel, it’s a treat.

About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!

Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!

Heather is absolutely amazing! We’ve never left one of our dogs with anyone outside of family and it was so nice to see they had a blast and made themselves feel right at home. She is flexible, quick response time and has plenty of room for our dogs to run and play, also meeting some new friends with their dogs. We will keep our dogs going to Heather anytime we leave town and she is available.

Pamela was such an awesome host. She took very good care of our baby. Our dog was bathed, her items were washed and she smelled so good when we picked her up. During our trip Pamela even sent photos to update us and kept the lines open for communication. We love Pamela and will definitely see her again.

Whitney is amazing! She was so sweet to our high energy dog, took her on lots of walks, spent lots of time outside with her, and even ran with her! We would use her again without hesitation!! Seeing fun pics of our puppy everyday while we were away was so reassuring that she was in great hands!! Thanks Whitney!!

About: I love dogs and can't wait to take care of your furry friend! I have a large home, plenty of room for your dog to stretch out. I have a yellow lab/golden retriever mix who is very friendly. I have a fenced yard (about half an acre) and another 9 acres of unfenced area. I work from home during the week, so will have plenty of time for walks, play-time, etc. I am good with all ages/sizes. I will ensure your dog is comfortable and safe, and has plenty of attention! I work from home so am always around to care for your pets! Will have plenty of potty breaks and play time. If I have to step out I can crate your pet or not, whichever you prefer. I have a fenced in yard I work from home so am always around to care for your pets!

About: Hi, I'm Sara@ My passion is raising confident, well-socialized family dogs through positive reinforcement, structure, and enrichment. Dogs in my care are treated like family and stay in a home environment—not a kennel. I intentionally keep my capacity small so every dog receives individual attention, exercise, play, and plenty of affection. I have experience raising and training high-energy sporting breeds and especially enjoy working with puppies and adolescent dogs. Whether your pup is learning house manners, building confidence, or simply needs a safe and loving place to stay, my goal is to provide a positive experience that supports their development. My home includes children, which helps puppies learn appropriate interactions in a family setting. Safety, communication, and consistency are my top priorities, and you'll receive regular updates and photos while your dog is in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dedicated dog owner, my days already revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, training, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Dogs in my care are treated like members of the family and are integrated into our daily routine rather than being left alone for long periods. I prioritize structured exercise, supervised play, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement training throughout the day. Because I intentionally keep my capacity limited, I can provide personalized care and ensure each dog receives the attention, consistency, and companionship they deserve. When pets stay in my home, they are cared for as part of the family in a safe, structured, and supervised environment. I follow each pet's normal feeding schedule, potty routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, enrichment activities, rest time, and affection. Because I keep my capacity limited, I am able to provide individualized care rather than a crowded kennel experience. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. For drop-in visits or care in a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and ensuring the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care while treating every pet as if they were my own

Curlytail -Liana and Anatoliy AEE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! This was the first time my babies and I have ever been apart. They go where I go and they are very spoiled. Curlytail -Liana and Anatoliy put our hearts and minds to rest. We kept in contact the entire trip and even sent me pictures of my babies. I can't express my gratitude enough. If I could I would give you a 10/10 stars!! Thank you for taking care of my babies like they're were your own.
