“Our pup Neptune had a great time with Amber this weekend! She was accommodating, despite only booking days before I needed her, and squeezed in a meet and great to ensure it was the right fit for us both. She was very informative and sent many pictures and videos of our little guy enjoying time with his new buddies. My son thoroughly enjoyed the updates and videos as his missed his puppy. We can’t say enough great things about the decision to use Amber and alleviate the worry about our guy while we were time zones away. I’ve already began checking into booking Amber again for our next adventures.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care our pup received with Julie. We got tons of pictures and videos and updates, and I never once worried about how well he was being taken care of. Julie was extremely responsive and always quick to answer any questions I had. We'll absolutely be bringing our pup back!”
“Heather and her husband were absolutely amazing! They have a beautiful property that any dog would love. Plenty of space to run around and play. She was so friendly and caring towards our dog Nova. A great communicator and extremely organized! We would love for Nova to stay at GG’s Funny Farm again and will definitely be re-booking. 😊”
“I am sorry Laurie that I am so late, with this review. Laurie is such a sweet woman. She took such good care of my Lyric. I have only used one pet sitter to keep Lyric since she was 3 months old and I was nervous about taking her to anyone else. Well Laurie treated Lyric like one of her own and Lyric was enjoying herself the entire time. Laurie kept me posted the entire visit with pics, texts and videos. Thank you Laurie for being such a kind soul.”
“Audree was absolutely an amazing dog sitter and person! Our dog Prince had a great time while in Audree’s care. She frequently sent pictures and we will definitely use her in the future!”
“Linda took wonderful care of my dog, Max, this past weekend, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that Linda genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She kept me updated, made sure Max was comfortable and well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while I was away. When I picked him up, Max was happy, relaxed, and clearly had received plenty of attention and affection. It's not easy leaving your dog with someone else, but Linda made the entire experience stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the loving care she provided. We wouldn't hesitate to trust her with Max again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Linda, and your family, for taking such great care of Max!”
“Our dog stayed with Connie for the first time while we were out of town for a week. She was so easy to book week with. I felt the communication was great, tons of pictures of our sweet girl playing. I know she got a ton of activity and playtime safely. Drop and pick up were easy and Connie was kind, easy to talk to, and most importantly took good care of our fur baby!”
“Tina and her lovely daughter help take care of our Sammy when we needed to be away for an extended period to help my ailing mother half the world away. She was assuring in the difficult time setting up the booking while arranging for air tickets and gave us regular pictures and updates that make the separation tolerable for us.”
“Dana is so wonderful with our dog Maya! When we drop off Maya she’s already wagging her tail to see Dana! As pet parents, it just warms our hearts to see the bond Maya has with Dana!!!! Definitely would recommend Dana to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!!!”
“Erica was so great, I’m solo pet owner and had plans at the last minute, she was so great with Marvel on first visit and my accommodation for extra day. He is smaller so he takes a few minutes to observe before playing with big dogs, but once he gets started he loves play dates all sizes”
“Thank you so much Matisa for keeping my dogs for me. Thanks for the daily updates and pictures of the boys. They returned home safely and they are so relaxed and not so talkative 😂. Best person I ever let to keep my boys. Thanks again.”
“Kathryn did an excellent job watching our beagle. She posted updates daily and took her on daily walks. We will use her again in the future. Thanks for taking care of her.”
“If I could give Leslie 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ well I just did!! She is a dream care giver, treated my girl like she was her own. Leslie sent me daily reports (morning and evening!!) along with photos and even a couple videos. Allie had a wonderful vacation (truthfully couldn’t have gone any better) and we both are relaxed and happy. I am soooo thankful I found Leslie, I wouldn’t consider contacting anyone else. She is TOP NOTCH. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”

“I wish I found her sooner! Becky watched my two cats and was nothing but professional. I loved reading her reports and seeing all the pictures. It makes traveling so much easier knowing my babies are being well cared for. I am moving soon, but will definitely be using her again for any upcoming trips in the meantime!”

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand.

I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.
“I was seeking reputable drop-in service for my cats on the internet and came across the Rover.com website, which was extremely easy to use, offering 5 star services. That's when I reached out to Allie. Upon meeting her, I liked her from the first moment. She was both professional and personable, and my discernment was that she would be completely trustworthy. It was evident from the start that she is a "natural" with kitty cats. My husband and I were completely at ease with having Allie drop-in on our "fur babies", allowing us to enjoy our family vacation. We truly appreciated all the updates she gave us on our pets, including the photos and videos. She went above and beyond to ensure all of our kitties' needs were met. I most definitely will call on Addie again when we have to be out of town.”
“Matisa U was very friendly and took extreme care of our fur baby. She communicated well and sent pictures of Hazel during our time away from her. I feel that Hazel had a great time and enjoyed herself. I would definitely recommend Matisa to to my family and friends and will definitely return to her for her services. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
“Elizabeth was great! I loved her notes and pictures! She was very communicative and always let me know when she was coming over! I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Mackenzie did a wonderful job taking care of my elderly kitty who needs extra attention and meds. I almost didn’t leave over Christmas because I was so worried about him, but she eased my concerns with thoughtful care, attention to detail, and detailed notes. I highly recommend Mackenzie and will be working with her in the future.”
“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”
About: Everybody knows me by the dog lover. If I can take every dog in the world I would. I have 2 years of experience at a dog daycare. As well as a years with my own dog.

No matter what your fur baby will be treated at my house the same way I would treat them at your house with love and affection.
About: Unfortunately, working and moving a lot. I cannot give the best life to my dog and cat anymore. I had to leave them with my brother but I would love to give some support to pet owners who are busy due to work and life. Monday to Friday after 6 pm. Weekends and holidays all day long. I love going for walks, feed them, or I have them over the weekend. I would love to give a house and take care of pets in my apartment. I live by myself, but I work a 9-5 job.
About: I’ve always been around cats when I was younger but I was always afraid of them. But as I got older I learned to truly appreciate them. Two years ago, I finally got a cat and I do not regret it! Even if it was somewhat of a learning curve, I spoil my cat and make sure she gets the best of everything! I am very particular on how I clean litter boxes, food bowls, and water bowls/fountains. I make sure it is spotless and clean! I’ve mastered the art of clipping their claws and brushing.

“Linda and her family took wonderful care of Navi! I received many cute pictures and videos of Navi having fun with the family. Navi had a great time and enjoyed her stay. Linda was also very flexible with her schedule which I very much appreciated. Looking forward to the next time, thank you so much!”
“Laurie was great. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone that my dogs didn’t know, and I was so worried, but Laurie sent me pictures and videos that they were playing and enjoying each other and Laurie’s dog got a perfect long with both my dogs.”
“Audree is amazing!! The second my dog sees Audree, he’s running out of the car in excitement. Seeing his reaction always calms me down because I know he’s being taken care of, and loved just as we would at home :) she’s super flexible and sends pictures/videos throughout his stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus! She also communicated throughout the day with updates and cute photos of my fur baby so I knew he was safe and well taken care of. If I could, I would give her 10/5 stars! I definitely plan to book with her again in the near future! Thanks again Tiffany!”
About: I've had dogs for 17 years. I love all pets! I treat dog sitting dogs as if they are my own. I have 1 dog of my own who loves when we have visitors. I have had many repeat customers, and I miss them when they leave. I work from home, have a doggie door and a fenced in yard. I take the dogs out regularly for play and potty breaks. The dogs will never be left alone. I can crate a dog if need be and have my own crate. I have 1 dog who is very much submissive. I have a 3 level house so if dogs need to be separated that is not an issue.

About: I have always been an animal lover! I spent a better chunk of my high school and college years watching horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, fish, birds, ferrets, chickens, and basically any other critter you can think of. I am able to do home visits, walk your dogs, love on your cats, and do basic obedience training with your pups. I will absolutely love your animals as my own. I am available on short notice and can do daytime dog sitting. I am also able to ride horses if anyone has such a need. I have owned two OTTBs, foxhunted, and spent 2 years as a product advisor for Dover saddlery. I am able to administer shots, IM injections, oral medications, or whatever special needs your pet may have. I already have 3 dogs, so pet care is a very big part of my daily routine already! It’s kind of like when you have 3 kids and say, what’s one more. (Just kidding!!) I work part-time (2 days a week) and I try to mark my unavailability on my schedule for that as I work 12 hour shifts. I do have a nanny that takes great care of my dogs who would be willing to help me out if the need arises. I have 5 fenced in acres for dogs to run around and play! I have a little farm so I love to spend time outside playing with all the animals I can get my hands on. I’m equipped for horses, donkeys, goats, ferrets, dogs, birds, and reptiles!

“Everything went well Erica was always ready for my to drop off Cosmo despite it typically be very early. Cosmo can be kind of a dirty dog, but she kept him clean and well taken care of. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures.”
“This was Shelby’s second time with Matisa and her family, and we will be back! Shelby even recognized Matisa’s house when we arrived and was very wiggly before we went inside. It was good for her to interact with other dogs too.”
“My husband & I were so pleased with Dayonna's success at managing the needs of our terrier dog who tends to be anxious and shy. She provided Spot with particular care and loving attention. We have already booked another care date with her during our 3 day weekend next week. So grateful to have found Dayonna! Joan & Leonard”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, which inspired me to begin fostering for my local animal shelter in 2025. Caring for these pets has been such a rewarding experience and has now led me to Rover. I would be delighted to provide your dog with loving care—whether for the day or overnight! I work from home all week and have the time, love and space to give your pet top notch care! Potty breaks in our fenced in yard are frequent and so are treats! I have a fenced in yard and 1 friendly German shepherd/hound mix. She has many dog friends and is great with big and small visitors. Dogs have free range of the house and can be crated, if needed.
“Amber was great with my dog and with communicating with me. My dog seemed to have felt very comfortable with Amber and her family which made me feel very comfortable leaving her in their care in the future.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for a puppy, so I understand the patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs require. I know that every dog has a unique personality and different needs. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions carefully. During walks and drop-in visits, I will prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving loving and responsible care.

I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walking routes, routines, and any special needs. Before every walk, I make sure the leash, collar, or harness is properly secured, and I remain alert to traffic, weather conditions, other animals, and anything that could make the pet uncomfortable. During drop-in visits, I respect the client’s home and privacy. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed, and I never leave a pet outside unattended. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment while giving each pet personalized attention. I will also send photos and detailed updates so pet parents know their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I have had 2 dogs for 8 years now while also pet sitting friends’ cats and dogs. I can walk, feed, potty break, and most importantly pet your dog(s) with utmost care and love. I am a college student at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University home for summer with no prior commitments. I will be home until late August. I can work any day of the week at any time. I will care for your pet per parents wants and needs including walking them and letting them outside with or without a leash depending on owners house and preferences.
About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.

“I couldn't be happier with the care our pup received with Julie. We got tons of pictures and videos and updates, and I never once worried about how well he was being taken care of. Julie was extremely responsive and always quick to answer any questions I had. We'll absolutely be bringing our pup back!”
“Heather and her husband were absolutely amazing! They have a beautiful property that any dog would love. Plenty of space to run around and play. She was so friendly and caring towards our dog Nova. A great communicator and extremely organized! We would love for Nova to stay at GG’s Funny Farm again and will definitely be re-booking. 😊”
“I am sorry Laurie that I am so late, with this review. Laurie is such a sweet woman. She took such good care of my Lyric. I have only used one pet sitter to keep Lyric since she was 3 months old and I was nervous about taking her to anyone else. Well Laurie treated Lyric like one of her own and Lyric was enjoying herself the entire time. Laurie kept me posted the entire visit with pics, texts and videos. Thank you Laurie for being such a kind soul.”
“Our dog stayed with Connie for the first time while we were out of town for a week. She was so easy to book week with. I felt the communication was great, tons of pictures of our sweet girl playing. I know she got a ton of activity and playtime safely. Drop and pick up were easy and Connie was kind, easy to talk to, and most importantly took good care of our fur baby!”
“Dana is so wonderful with our dog Maya! When we drop off Maya she’s already wagging her tail to see Dana! As pet parents, it just warms our hearts to see the bond Maya has with Dana!!!! Definitely would recommend Dana to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!!!”
“Erica was so great, I’m solo pet owner and had plans at the last minute, she was so great with Marvel on first visit and my accommodation for extra day. He is smaller so he takes a few minutes to observe before playing with big dogs, but once he gets started he loves play dates all sizes”
“Thank you so much Matisa for keeping my dogs for me. Thanks for the daily updates and pictures of the boys. They returned home safely and they are so relaxed and not so talkative 😂. Best person I ever let to keep my boys. Thanks again.”
“If I could give Leslie 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ well I just did!! She is a dream care giver, treated my girl like she was her own. Leslie sent me daily reports (morning and evening!!) along with photos and even a couple videos. Allie had a wonderful vacation (truthfully couldn’t have gone any better) and we both are relaxed and happy. I am soooo thankful I found Leslie, I wouldn’t consider contacting anyone else. She is TOP NOTCH. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️”
“Rosalina did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. I really appreciated her communication and the care she showed. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jim has been amazing every time we leave our dog in his care! Our dog is always at ease when visiting Jim and he sends us pictures every day with updates. Jim is very accommodating; our dog can be a challenge to take care of, but Jim never has a problem keeping him cared for and comfortable!”
“Rachel was able to welcome Biggie to her home with extremely short notice and provided exceptional care to him. I was so pleased with my experience with her and would 1000% book her again.”
“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!”
“My dog's time with Jessie was amazing. I could just tell when she returned that she was well loved and taken care of. I was so pleased with Jessie as a caretaker. She communicated well and did everything exactly as my dog needed. So grateful!”
“Awesome Loving home! Christine and family has got to be the most amazing dog lovers ever. I usually take my Bella to Calypso Kennel however, they were booked for Christmas vacation several months out. I took a chance and so glad I did. Bella enjoyed her stay and was so content. I highly recommend Christine and family!!!”
“We really appreciate Jorge and his family for taking really good care of Gatsby! They spoiled him and made him feel like he was part of the family! We highly recommend this family to anyone who wants their dog to have a ball, and be loved on!”
“Jamie did a great job watching Henry! She kept me informed and sent pictures daily. Her dog was extremely friendly and accepted Henry immediately. I know Henry had a great time because he slept the entire day we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone and would book with her again if we need a sitter.”
“This was the second time we left Bailey with Heather and he practically ripped my arm off racing from the car to her front door, which is exactly what we wanted. It is important to us that Bailey is excited to visit and feels comfortable when we're away and Heather provides that and more. Heather boarded more than Bailey this particular weekend and she took such great care to make sure he didn't get too worn out playing and had time away from the other pups to rest. We just love the care she provides!”
