“They were wonderful with my sweet Minerva! I got regular updates on how she was doing and they were so very kind. After an unexpected extra day of being gone, they even kept her an extra day happily. There was the cutest outside and inside area the pups had free access to. It wasn't like a kennel where she was cooped up all day. She had play time and fun with the other pups. She didn't even want to leave. As we were leaving, she kept pulling on her leash back to Brooke. This is a dog who doesn't pull on leash without being exceptionally sure of what she wants. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. They also allow you to see the area the pups are kept before you book which was great!”
“Connie is the best around! My husband and I were away on vacation and we had family stay at the house with our dog, Madison. We had Connie keep Madison for a few overnight stays because our dog loves going to her house, playing with the other dogs, and we know she's in great hands. We got so many pictures and videos while we were away and couldn't be happier with having Connie as our dog sitter.”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“Philip was a fantastic dogsitter! He clearly has the experience to understand and take care of a variety of pups and we felt totally comfortable having him look after our dog. Can’t say enough positive things about the experience.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our two puppies received from Amber! From the moment we met her we knew they were in great hands. She gave them plenty of attention, playtime, and care while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that our puppies were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to two healthy & happy pups! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals, we highly recommend Amber. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“I booked Chris to watch over my disabled pup while I was away for a week. Not only is Chris a wonderful, kind, and polite person but he was also attentive to my boy’s every need. Chris maintained the strict schedule I gave him including daily medications and ample playtime to ensure my dog was happy and healthy while he was away from my care. Chris was responsive to my messages and even sent picture updates completely unprompted. I was never left wondering how my pup was doing because Chris went out of his way to constantly update me. After seeing the property Chris resides on, I was comforted to know that my dog would have plenty of room to run around and get his energy out. Chris’s own dogs were friendly and very excited to meet a new friend which I viewed as a great opportunity for my own dog to increase his socialization skills. I’ll be the first to tell you that I am extremely wary of who I allow to care for my boy and I can say, without hesitation, that I was impressed with the intention and gentleness Chris gave my pup. I will certainly be booking with him again!”
“We always have the best experience with Kathryn! She took care of our girl so well and kept us updated consistently while we were away. Cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Hannah did an amazing job with our fur baby! She communicated well and sent us a lot of pictures. This was our first “boarding” our dog since we’ve had him the past 5 years. Hannah made sure to send lots of pictures and he definitely appeared to be having fun and was well taken care of. We can’t thank Hannah enough for making sure our fur baby was happy and safe while in her care. We would definitely use her again.”
“We always try to book Traci when we’re leaving town. She is conscientious, flexible, and cheerful, and provides frequent updates with photos. We have no worries at all when we leave our pups with Traci. Our dogs love her, and she seems to really love them, too!”
“Heather has hosted our 88 lbs yellow lab Chewy for extended overnight stays twice now. We know he's enjoyed the stay because he is eager to get in her door when we drop him off - and he's tired from all the play and fun when we pick him up days later. She does a great job communicating with us and takes his mischief with good humor. Will definitely continue to board him with her.”
“Megan was great as always! We know that when we drop Charlie off, he’s not just staying with a sitter, he’s staying with a caring family. We always get updates when we are thinking of him and we know that he is safe and enjoying himself. Charlie loves it there and we think that sometimes he’d rather stay than come home!”
“Lorena and her family took wonderful care of my sweet pup. Kash has a wonderful time. The pictures sent to me throughout the stay assured me that he was happy and having a good time which eased my guilt of leaving him while I was on vacation and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. The updates were wonderful. The special attention she gave my Kash was truly appreciated. I defenitiely plan to use her services again.”
“Sarah was great! She sent updates consistently while watching Cranberry and took extra care of her when she randomly had a cyst pop during her stay. Would definitely book with Jacob and Sarah again.”
“Julie did a wonderful job caring for my Marli! She provided updates and photos while I was on my trip. I could tell that Marli really enjoyed playing with the other dogs in Julie's large yard as she came home very tired. I plan to use Julie again in the very near future! I highly recommend her services!”
“She is amazing and took great care of our dog Smurk. She kept him safe and sent us pictures to show how he was doing. We would love to book with Rebecca again!! Thank you :)”
“Audree is the best. I was so nervous to leave my new puppy with anyone this soon in her life, but we had prior engagements before we decided to adopt her. My husband and I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Audree. She even ate her food while she was with Audree because she had refused to eat all day. Audree also kept us up to date with everything that was going on with her and sent photos. Thank you Audree. We appreciate you and will see you again this week.”
“I can't express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care River receives at his home away from home. From the very first visit, it was clear that River was going to be treated like family. Their warm and welcoming environment makes every stay a delight. They go above and beyond to ensure River feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's engaging him in playtime, providing treats, or simply showering him with affection, their dedication shines through. I love receiving updates and pictures, which reassure me that he’s having a fantastic time. Knowing that River is in such capable hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home for their pets. Thank you for everything you do for River! 🐕 ♥️”

“Victoria always does a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Charlie! She sends us lots of pics and always follows all instructions! By the pics, you can tell he’s very happy and loves seeing her! We’ve used her multiple times and will continue to!”
“Andrew took fantastic care of my cat, Castle, while I was away. He sent daily updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease and be able to enjoy my trip. Also, my cat loved his boots so much that I'll have to get him his own pair!! I cannot recommend Andrew enough for your pet sitting needs. Your home and pets will be in great hands.”
“Katherine is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had!! Every single note and photo is so sweet! She goes above and beyond every visit and Clio loves to see her!! She is everything and more and makes me feel so much better about traveling. Highly recommend!!”
About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.
“Paige was accommodating about booking on short notice when my regular sitter couldn’t make it. Before my trip, she came over for a meet and greet and was super friendly! She provided updates about and pictures of my kitties while I was out of town.”
“Working with Amber was a snap. She responded quickly to a last minute request, was up front when a schedule change was needed, and helped look in on my cat even when the weather was terrible.”
About: As the owner of three cats, I’m deeply familiar with daily feline care, from administering medications to maintaining multiple litter boxes. I prioritize cleanliness, routines, and reducing stress so cats feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared-for in their own environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dog for the last three years. I’m very trust worthy and compassionate when it comes to dogs, friends and family trust me with there pets I’m currently working during the week, but I’m available every weekend and also every Friday after 4:00 pm so I’ll have plenty of time to play with animals on weekends. I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.
About: I don’t just pop in and feed your cat, I learn their rules for their space, respect their space, and keep their routine locked in so they stay caml and collected while you’re away. Whether they’re shy, clingy, or a tiny menace, I adjust. I notice the small stuff, keep things clean, and send real updates. Medications, special diets, multi-cat drama, surprise hairballs, I adapt and love all the quirks. I earn trust on their terms, fully on cat time. I work for your cat while im in your home. They may run a tight ship but im up to the task! Hired by you, approved by them!
“Alexandria was wonderful with our animals! Even the mean cat seemed to like her, which is pretty rare. Yoshi was very excited to see her when she came for their visits. All animals had full water and food when we got back, my spiteful cat hadn’t broken anything out of boredom or spite from being left behind (he hates having us leave for king periods of time)”
“Stephanie was awesome! I fully trusted her with my fur babies. She sent me updates throughout the day and pictures, which really helped with peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for care for their fur babies.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and i’ve always loved animals. Anyone who knows me will tell you that my dog is the only thing i ever talk about!

About: Hi! I’m Cami, and I live in Fredericksburg with my husband, daughter, and our two cats. I’m a preschool teacher and have been caring for pets since I was 12 years old. Over the years, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they’re away. I enjoy spending time with animals and understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I’m currently on maternity leave, which allows me to be available full-time over the next few weeks for pet care, boarding, and drop-in visits. During the school year, I work as a full-time preschool teacher from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., but I’m available before and after work, overnight, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around my teaching schedule to provide reliable care for your pets! We have plenty of space around our home for walks and outdoor time. Our two cats are very friendly and comfortable around other animals. I’m also able to accommodate crating if needed and can care for multiple pets when appropriate.
“Jennifer was great with Jasmine. Very kind and gentle and laid back which is Jasmine’s kind of style. When we did a meet and greet Jennifer came compared to learn what she needed to do for the sitting, which put me and my family at ease leaving her alone with someone Jasmine didn’t know. I would definitely hire her again to watch Jasmine. ?”

“She was great! She was very understanding and helpful since Izzy is young and was not on her best behavior. She took her on walks and feed her lunch. Larissa was very attentive. I’ll definitely use her again if she’ll have us.”
“This was our first time using the Rover app for our babies. At first I was nervous but once we meet Phillip that changed. Phillip was so welcoming and took really good care of our babies for the day. Phillip I want to thank you for caring for our babies you did an amazing job. We will definitely be booking with you again. See you soon!”
“Chris was very patient, flexible, accommodating, and understanding. We had last minute plans and needed someone to look after our Saint Bernard. We did a meet and greet and a daycare session to get her comfortable before we leave and he did a great job!”
“I was so happy to find this sitter! We just adopted a rescue dog. He has a lot of anxiety. He needs special care while he is adjusting to his new home. Because of his anxiety he needs a low stimulation environment. She has been so good working with my dogs special needs! I can’t say enough good about her!! We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”
“Ligia is by far the best doggy sitter in the world! I had never left my fur baby with anybody else before but Ligia reassured me that he would have a great day and he sure did! Every time I leave Harley at her house, I get pictures of him playing with other dogs and constant updates on how he’s doing. Ligia has helped Harley be able to socialize with other dogs and the best part is that I know he has a fantastic time with her. He’s always super excited to go to her house and play with his best friend, Ducky. I am so happy and blessed that I found Ligia! I absolutely recommend her and her services. Harley and I couldn’t be happier!!”
“Yeny was kind enough to do a list minute Day Care for us on our Anniversary. Easy drop off and pick up. She was walking her as we arrived to pick up and passed them..! She seemed happy and exercised. The whole family seems to participate in the care of the animals. Yeny took the time to hand feed her a bit at her first dinner away from home to get her started. She took to the time to talk about her day with our pup before we left. It seems to be a caring environment. We will definitely use her again.”
“Connie was a great communicator and took wonderful care of my little guy. She sent me lots of pictures to make me feel comfortable and Dozer seemed happy and very at ease when I picked him up.”
About: Hi there! I’m a caring and reliable dog sitter who truly enjoys getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, including those who are shy or anxious, and I always take a calm, patient approach so they can feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. With anxious dogs especially, I focus on creating a gentle, low-pressure environment by slow introductions, calm energy, and routines that help build trust over time. I pay close attention to body language and adjust to whatever each dog needs in the moment, whether that’s space, reassurance, or a quiet walk. I also make sure to follow all care instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to be someone you and your dog feel completely comfortable with, like a trusted friend who shows up and cares every time. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including bordatella) and flea/tick preventative. Please provide a screenshot of their most recent shots through the Rover app. I currently do NOT take more than 1 pup at a time unless the client requesting themselves has 2 pups that need taking care of! PLEASE NOTE: If you plan on booking for extended stay, our price is $40 a night for 5 days. I'm currently not employed so your pet will be attended to at all day! Any accommodation you need for them, I can surely provide at any time. I have a fenced yard and currently no other pets in the house, meaning your pet will have 100% of our time and attention so they don't feel out of place!

About: I absolutely adore animals. I have four children who are also huge animal lovers so if you board with us in home your pet will be absolutely doted on.

I love being outside and going on long walks and would love to accompany your dog on their daily walk. We have a tremendous amount of time to play with your pet, take them on walks, and give them the attention they not only require but also deserve. We have a decent sized fenced in yard which is perfect for lots of play time! We are very attentive to animals and have experience giving medication including shots.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family and I are dog lovers but are not ready to own one so we are able to provide your pet with undivided attention and care.

I have a fenced in huge yard with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. My children are 5 and 7 and would entertain your pet with plenty of play and cuddles.
About: Been taking care of pets since I was in Highschool. It was always a fun way to get my pet fix since we didn’t have any growing up! Stay at home mom of 3 young boys so I’m always home. This will give us a new purpose during the day which is much needed. It will also give me the chance to spend time with all these sweet animals instead of trying to own a million of them myself 😂 A bonus of booking with me is your pet will get lots of one on one attention as this is not like your average corporate kennel. We provide a cozy environment within our home. Your animals will get all the love and attention all the while getting treated as one of our own🤍 I am trying to put my sweet boys through private school and thought this would be an awesome way to do so since it’s something me and my whole family will love! Big animal lovers over here:) We will provide a loving home with a big fenced in back yard for all to play. Can’t wait to love on and help take care of/entertain your fur babies!

My dogs get let out at least 4 times daily.All dogs in my home can free roam and only caged if requested by owner either nightly or while I'm out. The privacy fenced in yard provides a safe place to play.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have cared for them when they have been at there very best and worst and given them the most love. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only go for a couple hours a day. I also work part time at before and after care. I’m mostly looking for times to fill in during my free time, including during break and over the summer. I will make sure that everything thing is safe in the area for that pet. And they have everything they need during my time with them.

About: Hi! My name is Lessette. My fiancée and I Dustin have been caring for dogs for as long as we can remember, we truly adore all animals. While I’m new to the Rover app, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and treat every pup as if they were my own. We are open to onboarding dogs and currently have two of our own: Tank, a 3-year-old French Bulldog, and Beau, a 1-year-old Bernedoodle. We’ve had our dogs since they were puppies and have trained them to be well-mannered, social, and comfortable around other dogs in a variety of settings. Please make sure your pup is fully vaccinated, potty trained (for the most part, we understand accidents may happen: especially in a new environment), non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs! We provide a loving, structured, and fun environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I’m more than happy to take your pup to the dog park (with approval) and can also help with transportation to and from vet visits or appointments as needed. Your dog will be treated like family while in our care! Our large, fully fenced backyard is regularly trimmed and well maintained to support a clean, pest-conscious outdoor environment. We are located close to Downtown Fredericksburg!

“They were wonderful with my sweet Minerva! I got regular updates on how she was doing and they were so very kind. After an unexpected extra day of being gone, they even kept her an extra day happily. There was the cutest outside and inside area the pups had free access to. It wasn't like a kennel where she was cooped up all day. She had play time and fun with the other pups. She didn't even want to leave. As we were leaving, she kept pulling on her leash back to Brooke. This is a dog who doesn't pull on leash without being exceptionally sure of what she wants. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. They also allow you to see the area the pups are kept before you book which was great!”
“Connie is the best around! My husband and I were away on vacation and we had family stay at the house with our dog, Madison. We had Connie keep Madison for a few overnight stays because our dog loves going to her house, playing with the other dogs, and we know she's in great hands. We got so many pictures and videos while we were away and couldn't be happier with having Connie as our dog sitter.”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“Philip was a fantastic dogsitter! He clearly has the experience to understand and take care of a variety of pups and we felt totally comfortable having him look after our dog. Can’t say enough positive things about the experience.”
“I booked Chris to watch over my disabled pup while I was away for a week. Not only is Chris a wonderful, kind, and polite person but he was also attentive to my boy’s every need. Chris maintained the strict schedule I gave him including daily medications and ample playtime to ensure my dog was happy and healthy while he was away from my care. Chris was responsive to my messages and even sent picture updates completely unprompted. I was never left wondering how my pup was doing because Chris went out of his way to constantly update me. After seeing the property Chris resides on, I was comforted to know that my dog would have plenty of room to run around and get his energy out. Chris’s own dogs were friendly and very excited to meet a new friend which I viewed as a great opportunity for my own dog to increase his socialization skills. I’ll be the first to tell you that I am extremely wary of who I allow to care for my boy and I can say, without hesitation, that I was impressed with the intention and gentleness Chris gave my pup. I will certainly be booking with him again!”
“Hannah did an amazing job with our fur baby! She communicated well and sent us a lot of pictures. This was our first “boarding” our dog since we’ve had him the past 5 years. Hannah made sure to send lots of pictures and he definitely appeared to be having fun and was well taken care of. We can’t thank Hannah enough for making sure our fur baby was happy and safe while in her care. We would definitely use her again.”
“We always try to book Traci when we’re leaving town. She is conscientious, flexible, and cheerful, and provides frequent updates with photos. We have no worries at all when we leave our pups with Traci. Our dogs love her, and she seems to really love them, too!”
“Heather has hosted our 88 lbs yellow lab Chewy for extended overnight stays twice now. We know he's enjoyed the stay because he is eager to get in her door when we drop him off - and he's tired from all the play and fun when we pick him up days later. She does a great job communicating with us and takes his mischief with good humor. Will definitely continue to board him with her.”
“Megan was great as always! We know that when we drop Charlie off, he’s not just staying with a sitter, he’s staying with a caring family. We always get updates when we are thinking of him and we know that he is safe and enjoying himself. Charlie loves it there and we think that sometimes he’d rather stay than come home!”
“Lorena and her family took wonderful care of my sweet pup. Kash has a wonderful time. The pictures sent to me throughout the stay assured me that he was happy and having a good time which eased my guilt of leaving him while I was on vacation and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. The updates were wonderful. The special attention she gave my Kash was truly appreciated. I defenitiely plan to use her services again.”
“Sarah was great! She sent updates consistently while watching Cranberry and took extra care of her when she randomly had a cyst pop during her stay. Would definitely book with Jacob and Sarah again.”
“Julie did a wonderful job caring for my Marli! She provided updates and photos while I was on my trip. I could tell that Marli really enjoyed playing with the other dogs in Julie's large yard as she came home very tired. I plan to use Julie again in the very near future! I highly recommend her services!”
“She is amazing and took great care of our dog Smurk. She kept him safe and sent us pictures to show how he was doing. We would love to book with Rebecca again!! Thank you :)”
“I can't express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care River receives at his home away from home. From the very first visit, it was clear that River was going to be treated like family. Their warm and welcoming environment makes every stay a delight. They go above and beyond to ensure River feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's engaging him in playtime, providing treats, or simply showering him with affection, their dedication shines through. I love receiving updates and pictures, which reassure me that he’s having a fantastic time. Knowing that River is in such capable hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home for their pets. Thank you for everything you do for River! 🐕 ♥️”
“Kristina was great! First of all I had some uncertainties in my travel plans that she was understanding about as I worked through the final dates/times. She shared pictures and videos during my dog’s stay. I could see he was comfortable there and having fun. Buster was well taken care of and I would book with Kristina again.”
“Rebekah did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend her. She was very thoughtful and attentive to my little dog, who is never been boarded anywhere. She did a great job!”
“Tracey was AMAZING with my boy Jack. She sent pictures & updates daily, which I and my kids loved. She took him on multiple walks and a dog park daily. He came home and didn't move because he was so wore out. I really enjoyed her open communication. I will definitely be using Tracey in the future for Jack's boarding needs!”
“Laurie is awesome! Our dogs felt immediately comfortable with her and her own dog. She communicated great and kept ip updated with comments and pictures during their stay with her. She is highly recommended!”
