John did an excellent job of taking care of our Puddles. He has a very welcoming home, loving demeanor, and cares deeply for the dogs he watches. John did a great job of sending daily updates and was able to give the needed medication without a problem. Highly recommend.

Shannon took great care of our Bernedoodle puppy! She was happy to keep our puppy’s usual routine so that the adjustment to a new place for a few days was as easy a possible. Shannon was very easy to communicate with and sent us lots of pictures and updates on how everything was going. Our pup came home very happy and had a great time playing with Shannon’s other dogs. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Best. Sitter. EVER. I've tried and been happy (or not) with many boarders, but Jody goes way above and beyond. She's not just knowledgeable and reassuring, she's sweet and kind and will love your fur babies for you. I live in Roanoke, whereas she's in Moneta. But this was such a blessing!! I wanted somewhere Harriet could run and play and feel free and happy. Jody delivers this in a big way- she has several yards of varying sizes with over animals to play with. I kept telling my girl she was going to summer camp, and it turned out to be so true. I don't think she even missed me that much! Please don't let the distance deter you. Jody even offers pickup and drop off services. Harriet gets so anxious going to a boarder's house, but as soon as Jody pulled up, Harriet started wagging her tail and jumped right in her car before I could say goodbye. She's with the dogs all the time- you won't be leaving your pup with someone who leaves them alone. Harriet is very social, and I can tell from just the pictures and videos that her physical, mental, and emotional needs are being met in every way. Please seriously consider Jody- she's phenomenal. I don't really want to tell you this because I want to keep her all to myself, but that would be a gross injustice. She's the best. I won't even consider anyone else again- I'll just move my vacation plans around.

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.

Kimberly was absolutely awesome with our girls and kept us updated every day. She sent pictures daily, monitored their eating and play habits, and provided us with regular status updates. We missed our girls, but we felt so much better knowing they were in good hands while we were away. You can tell she’s very passionate about caring for animals and genuinely cares for their well-being. And our dogs did not return home looking stressed. Her home set up is tailored well for the pups and she ensures that they have a comfortable space and plenty of play time. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and plan to set up regular play care appointments soon!

Trina is a gem! I feel so lucky to have found her and she took wonderful care of my kitty Izzy. So good in fact I didn't even get meowed at loudly on my return 5 days later! She played with her, fed her let her sit on her lap as much as she wanted which was a lot I'm sure. She's very conscientious and I felt like she cared for my kitty like she would want hers cared for. Izzy looks wonderful and wasn't traumatized by my leaving. BTW, my cat is 17, deaf, arthritic with kid ey disease who is super attached to me so I was terrified to leave her. But once I met Trina at the interview, I knew she would love Izzy as one of her own. I highly highly recommend her for persisting and overnights. She's the best!

My dog Newton accompanies me to work as well and makes a great therapy dog with his laid back attitude and lovable heart. I’m currently working part time but I am available on Sundays, Fridays, and half days on Mondays. Also walking in the evenings most any day after 5 pm.0 and near by lake for walks, also my little 20 lb dog who thinks everyone is his friend. He has a very gentle spirit and is more of a passive dog than a alpha leader.

About: You can trust your pup with me! My love for dogs and animals started when I was a child and has grown into a deep bond and genuine care for every dog I meet. I truly go above and beyond when it comes to pet care — and in my book, a little spoiling is always included. ;) I’ve had decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs since 2004, from training my first Mini Schnauzer, Ally, as a puppy to providing specialized senior care as she got older. In 2009, my husband and I rescued our first senior Schnauzer, Smokey, and cared for him through several medical issues including seizures, gastroenteritis, and inner ear infections. I’m extremely attentive to a dog’s needs, personality, comfort, and safety, and I always stay alert to make sure they’re happy, secure, and out of trouble. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I would care for your dog like one of my own. *Please note: I can only accommodate dogs up to 15 lbs. Requests above this size will be declined. Please do not request bookings for larger dogs. I’m a stay-at-home pet parent, which allows me to give my full attention and care to both my own dog and the pets staying with me. At our home, pets are treated like family and will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, but dogs will always be supervised while outside. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, routines, and needs to help them feel safe and relaxed while away from home. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentiveness, especially for senior dogs or pets with special needs.

Marah is the best dogsitter on this app. She will treat your dog like it's hers. My dog loves going to Marah's and she is always tired and happy when I pick her up. Marah is extremely friendly and makes sure that your dog is well taken care of. I never have to worry about my dog with her because she will have the best of care! I would give Marah a 10 out 5 if I could.

About: I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always follow feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention so every dog feels at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and last-minute bookings whenever possible I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks for exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow the pet’s normal feeding schedule and routines. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and over 40 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’m very comfortable with large breeds and currently own a German Shepherd, so I understand the structure, exercise, and consistency they need. I’m also experienced with puppies, seniors, feeding routines, and daily care. One of the main reasons I do pet care is because I know how hard it can be to find someone who truly works around a real schedule. Many sitters expect dogs to be done for the night far too early, which simply doesn’t work for most households. I believe dogs should be let out when they actually need to go — including later evening potty breaks. Now retired, I have the flexibility to design drop-ins around your dog’s normal routine, whether that’s meals, walks, playtime, or letting them out between 9–10pm. I treat every pet like my own and focus on calm, dependable, loving care so you can leave with peace of mind. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I can accommodate early mornings, later evenings, and customized routines for meals, walks, and potty breaks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions and take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with large breeds, puppies, seniors, and pets who need consistency and structure. In your home, I’m respectful, reliable, and attentive. I make sure doors and gates are secure, routines are followed carefully, and pets are never rushed. I’m happy to provide updates during visits so you know your pet is doing well. If requested, I’m also happy to bring in mail or packages during visits, which can be helpful while you’re away. Being retired allows me to be fully present and attentive, so both your pet and your home are well cared for.

About: Hi there! I'm a young professional who's grown up surrounded by animals ever since I can remember. This lifelong love led me to officially launch my own pet care business in my hometown at 14, and I've continued providing these services as I've relocated to different cities. Now, with about a decade of professional experience and a work-from-home arrangement, I can offer your pets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I've cared for all sorts of pets – from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. Whether it's following special diets, administering medications, or using that one trick that always calms an anxious rescue, I adapt to each pet's unique needs. My remote work situation allows me to be available for midday walks, regular check-ins, or just some extra cuddle time when needed. Communication is crucial to me, so you can expect consistent updates and photos of your pets if desired. By choosing me, you're securing a dependable, seasoned, and adaptable caregiver who'll treat your fuzzy family members with the devotion and care all animals deserve. Let's work together to keep your pets happy and healthy! As a work-from-home professional, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. I'm available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Work officially ends around 4:30pm for me most days - however, my flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various pet care needs, anywhere between early morning visits to evening care. Weekends are open for more extensive services like boarding/home stays. I'm committed to working with you to provide consistent, attentive care that fits your pet's routine and your schedule. I prioritize the safety and comfort of pets in both their homes and mine. For in-home care, I follow your specific instructions meticulously, respecting your space and your pet's familiar environment. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space with secure areas for play and rest. I'm experienced in administering medications, following dietary requirements, and adapting to each pet's unique needs. Regular updates and open communication ensure you're always informed about your pet's well-being and activities while in my care. Happy to chat about what arrangement works best for you!

I’m very caring and attentive to animals and love making them as comfortable as possible. I grew up with a lot of pets and have always had a great love for them. I am flexible, especially on the weekends! I’m excited to be able to care for other’s pets and make them assured they are fine while their owners are away. I am definitely happy to care for cats as well as any other type of animal - no discrimination! Please let me know how I can help you and get started! I’m looking forward to caring for your furry friend. My schedule is pretty flexible and doesn't change much with another animal since I have my own dog who has his schedule down pretty well. I treat the animals as my own, they are allowed free range of my apartment if the owner wants. My dog is not crated during the day and likes to have a buddy to pal around with and play.

Best. Sitter. EVER. I've tried and been happy (or not) with many boarders, but Jody goes way above and beyond. She's not just knowledgeable and reassuring, she's sweet and kind and will love your fur babies for you. I live in Roanoke, whereas she's in Moneta. But this was such a blessing!! I wanted somewhere Harriet could run and play and feel free and happy. Jody delivers this in a big way- she has several yards of varying sizes with over animals to play with. I kept telling my girl she was going to summer camp, and it turned out to be so true. I don't think she even missed me that much! Please don't let the distance deter you. Jody even offers pickup and drop off services. Harriet gets so anxious going to a boarder's house, but as soon as Jody pulled up, Harriet started wagging her tail and jumped right in her car before I could say goodbye. She's with the dogs all the time- you won't be leaving your pup with someone who leaves them alone. Harriet is very social, and I can tell from just the pictures and videos that her physical, mental, and emotional needs are being met in every way. Please seriously consider Jody- she's phenomenal. I don't really want to tell you this because I want to keep her all to myself, but that would be a gross injustice. She's the best. I won't even consider anyone else again- I'll just move my vacation plans around.

Samantha is absolutely amazing! She took great care of Margot and kept me posted during the entire time. She sent me pictures and updates several times a day every day. Margot will be always coming back there!

Emily was great! She was very responsive and gave me timely updates on how Murphy was doing. She was also willing to work with me with when my schedule changed.

Absolutely amazing. So great with pick up and drop off and I got lots of pictures of my happy dog. 100% will be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.

Ashley and her family were great! She sent us pictures and videos of our pups throughout the weekend. I don’t think my lab wanted to leave when I picked them up. We will definitely use her again.

Taylor and her family are great! Our dog actually gets excited to go and stay with them. She loves playing with their dogs and loves Taylor and her family. What a relief for us to have a place for our dog to stay without any anxiety problems! We are a repeat client.

Marah B. was beyond phenomenal. I picked her because she was one of the highest rated sitters on Rover, and she did nothing short of excellence. My girl Bella was so happy the whole time had a ton of room to run outside in their fence yard and I wouldn't pick anybody else to watch my baby. Thank you, Marah!

Kimberly was absolutely awesome with our girls and kept us updated every day. She sent pictures daily, monitored their eating and play habits, and provided us with regular status updates. We missed our girls, but we felt so much better knowing they were in good hands while we were away. You can tell she’s very passionate about caring for animals and genuinely cares for their well-being. And our dogs did not return home looking stressed. Her home set up is tailored well for the pups and she ensures that they have a comfortable space and plenty of play time. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and plan to set up regular play care appointments soon!

Janet was wonderful! This was the first time I've left our chocolate lab with someone we didn't know. She had a great time at doggie day camp, playing with her dogs, lots of walks, including to the creek, and treats galore! We are grateful to have found someone who will love our girl and take such good care of her while we are gone.

Trooper had an awesome stay with David! I received daily updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear Trooper enjoyed the long walks, plenty of attention, and excellent care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with David again in the future!

Georgia was absolutely incredible. My dogs were very well taken care of, I got "pup dates" daily. She is so sweet and punctual, very mindful of your fur babies. I couldn't thank her enough for everything she did for my family this week. We will be using her again in the future.

Aaliyah was amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and so sweet. She was very attentive and immediately picked up on Reconquista’s behavior, which really impressed me. You can tell she truly understands dogs and genuinely cares about them. I felt very comfortable leaving Reconquista with her and will do so in the future! Highly recommend Aaliyah!!!!!

Erin and Matthew were amazing with our medical Great Dane. They sent a daily update with a picture. Our guy is pretty nervous and they were patient with him. They administer medication daily. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience as a first time user of Rover. I would highly recommend and plan to use them again in the future!

McKenanne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Peaches! She sent the cutest pics and video during her stay and it was clear that Peaches was having a blast! I’d recommend her to anyone that’s looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter.
