“John was such a wonderful host. Our dogs are friendly but very energetic and he was gracious and sweet with them. He walked them multiple times a day, gave them toys, and sent photos to check in with us each day. I would definitely have my dogs stay with him again and will do so next time we are in town!”
“Theresa was great with sending pics and updates about my Howard, who spent 3 days and nights with she and her husband Chuck. Howard was well taken care of, he enjoyed playing with their dogs, and Theresa was so sweet and accommodating. Will definitely use her for boarding again in the future!”
“Shannon was absolutely incredible and treated my girls like they were her own! We received pictures and updates every single day and she went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of! 5 stars isn’t even enough to show our gratitude for taking such wonderful care of our dogs!”
“Mac & his dog Beaker were friendly & welcoming. Murphy was with them 2 nights before being picked up by my daughter-in-law. She reported an easy pickup & that Mac had everything ready to go. Mac had reported that Murphy fit right in.”
“Louella had so much fun with Samantha and her husband! She came home exhausted from playing so much (which is exactly what we wanted before we drove a few hours back home to South Carolina!!) thanks for taking care of my girl.”
“Our dog Emma is so comfortable at Emily’s home, Emily treats our Emma like family. Nothing but great things to say about the love and care given to Emma while we are away. Thanks again for everything”
“Candace boarded our Cane Corso 7/11- 7/12. She was so gracious to take him at the last minute even though it was her birthday and she had plans. It was our first time boarding him so my husband and I were anxious and Candace was wonderful, she didn’t mind me calling several times to check on Boss. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Candace you were wonderful.”
“Shawn did an awesome job with my doodle. She sent a couple pictures each day while we were out of town. When we got home my doodle slept all day, I think she was exhausted from playing with Shawn’s 2 dogs. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!”
“Katie and her family were great and took good care of Walter. They were very accommodating with drop off and pick up times and sent update photos regularly. We will definitely book again with them.”
“Marah was great! She made me feel at ease about leaving Mattie with her as soon as I met her. Mattie had at least 8 other dogs to play with in a HUGE backyard! When I picked her up, she was exhausted and surprisingly didn’t need a bath...which is not the case when I’ve had to kennel her in the past. It’s nice to know that when we go out of town, there’s a place where I can take Mattie that I know she’ll enjoy!”
“Kelvin was great! Communication was easy, he picked her up right from our house and brought her back, and he sent pictures while she was with him. Keke came home happy. We’ll definitely be using him as our go-to sitter from now on. Highly recommend!”
“She is someone who is incredibly devoted to animals; her dedication and love are boundless. I had the absolute best experience knowing that Mia was staying in a home filled with plenty of attention, patience, and love. Karlie is always in constant communication, too. She has dogs of her own, and they truly made Mia's stay much more fun, as Mia is super friendly. Mia returned home ready to sleep and rest after days filled with fun and endless running around—in fact, she didn't even want to leave, given how wonderfully she had been treated at Karlie's house!”
“Jody was fantastic, got my girl in last minute and was very knowledgeable and had so much room for my pup to play and roam!! Plus make some new doggy friends! She also took some adorable videos! Already am booking again!! Highly recommend!”
“I was so pleased to find Kim on Rover for a last minute booking. Every interaction was welcoming and professional and I was confident my Charlie would be cared for like he was her own dog. Throughout his stay I got multiple updates and pictures to let me know he was having a blast, eating well, going on walks, and getting along with his playmates. Kim was very accommodating to our flight delay on pickup and I was touched by the parting gift bag Charlie received. I will definitely rebook when I need a sitter again!”
“Elise was amazing! She took my booking at the last minute and cared for my dog, Mix, as if he were her own. While I was away, she sent plenty of updates and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Mix felt loved and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking Elise again in the future. Highly recommend her services!”
“This was the first time we used Rover.com for our 1 year old pup. We were anxious to leave town without her, but Ashley and her family took such great care of Sadie for 5 days. She sent pictures and updates while we were away. We were so relieved that this was such a great experience and can't wait to use her serves again for our next trip.”
About: I worked for a pet walking company doing a little bit of everything. I have walked dogs (sometimes multiples) and done many drop in visits for potty breaks and play times and feedings. I have an extremely flexible and open schedule due to being a stay at home mom the last few years. I would be available for drop in services at most times. I’ve learned that owners will have their own rules and that is what would be followed at the clients house. This could be a list of things to have done in a set amount of time or rules on feeding, playing, etc. In my own home you can expect your pets to be spoiled! We let pets on furniture, have unlimited play time and we have a few friends for them here.
“They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!”

“Sydney was great! We booked last minute and were really relieved she was able to drop in on our kitties while we were away. She communicated well and made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. I realized I missed a few things in my instructions but she was able to roll with it and take care of everything. We really appreciated her help and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Kayla is the best! I have a sweet 4 month old kitten "Chandler". She plays and engages with him and he looks forward to her visits. She has taken excellent care of him. Thank you!”
“Samantha was wonderful with our cat and we felt totally at ease from initial visit to meet us and Gracie, throughout the days that she came to care for her. We will definitely request Samantha's time with us again and highly recommend her!”
“Kim was fantastic watching my two cats! I was gone for a little under a week and she was attentive to them and played with them when they wanted during her drop-ins. They both were happy when I came back and one who doesn't eat a lot when I'm gone had eaten more food than typical, so that was fantastic! I will definitely consider Kim in the future.”
“My cats really warmed up to Trina, and enjoyed each day that she came to take car of them. I really enjoyed all the pictures I received. She did great with the care she gave!”
“Josselyn was great! She was miraculously available super last minute and very flexible about coming out to take care of my dogs. My dogs can be a little difficult sometimes and she took the time to make them feel comfortable and calm. She was great!”
“Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.”
“Dremma took wonderful care of our two cats! We were gone for several weeks, our cats are older, and one required medication. Dremma will be the first person that we will rebook with when the need arises. Thank you Dremma!!”
About: I've never lived in a house without cats, I absolutely adore them and am very experienced in caring for them.

I've also dealt with all ages, so I'm comfortable handling senior cats as well ask young kittens, I have experience with giving medication to special needs cats as well as bottle feeding kittens.
“Amanda did everything I needed her to do. To my surprise one of them actually let her pet them and the other one came out of hiding. They don’t usually come out of hiding when people come to our house.”

“Kerry was very patient and understanding of our reactive dog while watching our cat as well, and she did a great job with him. Communication and punctuality were excellent and she was receptive to any feedback or suggestions about the dog. She even committed to an additional meet and greet to help make him more comfortable for the pet sitting.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, everything from puppies full of energy to sweet senior pets needing a little extra TLC. My friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets like they’re my own. I’m calm, responsible, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in or overnight house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease. Pet care fits into my routine naturally because it genuinely is something I enjoy and value. I’m available weekends!

I take cleanliness and respect for your space seriously, and I’m always mindful of your pet’s unique needs, whether it’s extra snuggles, medications, or quiet time.
“Katie did a great job!! She was very personable and easy to work with. She checked in with pictures and texts throughout her stay. I have five dogs that have different energy levels and personalities and Katie mastered them all! I will definitely have her back and recommend her highly.”
“William did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend! Our one cat doesn’t like strangers, but was letting William pet him by the second day. The place looked great and the cats were very happy.”
“Lisa was punctual for each visit. She provided updates and photos during each visit and responded to questions quickly. The boys (my cats) were relaxed upon our return home. I will definitely request her the next time we need a sitter.”

“Kimberly was absolutely phenomenal and so kind! Our senior fur baby has a lot of extra needs, so we’ve always put date days aside to ensure we wouldn’t have to leave her home alone. From the first text interaction with Kimberly to meeting in person - we knew that we found someone we could trust! We got picture updates throughout the day, and each care instruction we provided was taken very serious. We will definitely be trusting Kimberly with our fur baby in the future. Thank you SO much!”

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.
About: I've been around animals my entire life, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to keep them on their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I also have experience dog sitting three dogs for an entire month, which taught me how to manage multiple pets at once while keeping up with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving each dog the attention they needed. I'm dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they're my own. I'll provide plenty of love, exercise, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident that they're in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and because I have a very flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can easily adapt to your pet's routine. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I have two friendly, loving dogs who enjoy being around other pets, as well as a cat who mostly keeps to himself. My home has plenty of space for pets to relax and play. While my backyard isn't fenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs will always be kept on a leash to ensure their safety.

About: Hi! My name is Lisa and I've grown up with dogs my whole life. My parents owned a farm so I've always been used to animals and couldn't imagine my life without them! I've volunteered at the SPCA multiple times and own a 5 year-old Labrador retriever and 5 year old Golden retriever. They’re the sweetest boys and love to play with other dogs. I'm reliable and animals have my heart so i give them the best possible care :) I am home full time and I have a big yard where the dogs can run and play as well as a big basement where we can relax. I will send pictures and videos throughout their stay! Can't wait to meet and care for some of your loved pets!! I am home full time, so your pet will be outside having a blast with my pups! We go on walks daily as well as throw toys in the yard. I have 2 pups that will play with your dogs, many toys and lots of yard space to play! My 1 year old is used to our big dogs so he does his own thing and watches them run!
“Cindy made my pupper's first time with a Rover Professional easy and enjoyable. He's a gluten for attention and she was more than happy to provide him with all the attention and affection that he could take. A spectacular first impression for the services provided. 10/10 Would recommend.”
“Jessika was easily the best I’ve found in the app by far. I work long hours and require someone to stop by for a walk and food/water break. She was great with my puppy and even left a little surprise for her. My little girl seemed much less stressed after her visits and it completely removed the stress of worrying about her while working. I would absolutely recommend Jessika!”

About: I have been dog sitting since my freshman year of high school to raise money for a school trip to Costa Rica that I attended in 2023. I am currently available anytime of the week. I am willing to stay overnight if needed. Or even stopping by to walk/let out the pets. I would rather not do it in my home just because I do not have a fenced in yard and I have three other dogs in my home.
About: Hi there! I'm a young professional who's grown up surrounded by animals ever since I can remember.

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.

About: I have previously volunteered at a rescue for 10 years. I have fostered many animals for the rescue and kept some of those as well. I can handle almost anything. I've also had my fair share of special needs animals, so I'm comfortable handling pets whose needs are out of the ordinary. I've also worked with and owned most types of animals ranging from a few weeks old to 20+ years, so I can provide care to very young or very old animals. I just graduated college and am currently between jobs, so I am at home working on my fixer-upper apartment all day. My schedule is entirely flexible! I will be available almost all waking hours of the day. I can stop in on your schedule to provide care and walks, or just stay over to give the pets round the clock care. I will make sure that your pet stays happy and healthy while in my care!
About: 10+ years in kennel and veterinary medicine. Can take on walks & play to get the mid day zoomies out! Can administer medications as well. I am available all day on Mondays.

We can take longs walks around the neighborhood. Whatever works best for the pet!

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.

“John was such a wonderful host. Our dogs are friendly but very energetic and he was gracious and sweet with them. He walked them multiple times a day, gave them toys, and sent photos to check in with us each day. I would definitely have my dogs stay with him again and will do so next time we are in town!”
“Theresa was great with sending pics and updates about my Howard, who spent 3 days and nights with she and her husband Chuck. Howard was well taken care of, he enjoyed playing with their dogs, and Theresa was so sweet and accommodating. Will definitely use her for boarding again in the future!”
“Shannon was absolutely incredible and treated my girls like they were her own! We received pictures and updates every single day and she went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of! 5 stars isn’t even enough to show our gratitude for taking such wonderful care of our dogs!”
“Mac & his dog Beaker were friendly & welcoming. Murphy was with them 2 nights before being picked up by my daughter-in-law. She reported an easy pickup & that Mac had everything ready to go. Mac had reported that Murphy fit right in.”
“Louella had so much fun with Samantha and her husband! She came home exhausted from playing so much (which is exactly what we wanted before we drove a few hours back home to South Carolina!!) thanks for taking care of my girl.”
“Our dog Emma is so comfortable at Emily’s home, Emily treats our Emma like family. Nothing but great things to say about the love and care given to Emma while we are away. Thanks again for everything”
“Candace boarded our Cane Corso 7/11- 7/12. She was so gracious to take him at the last minute even though it was her birthday and she had plans. It was our first time boarding him so my husband and I were anxious and Candace was wonderful, she didn’t mind me calling several times to check on Boss. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Candace you were wonderful.”
“Katie and her family were great and took good care of Walter. They were very accommodating with drop off and pick up times and sent update photos regularly. We will definitely book again with them.”
“Marah was great! She made me feel at ease about leaving Mattie with her as soon as I met her. Mattie had at least 8 other dogs to play with in a HUGE backyard! When I picked her up, she was exhausted and surprisingly didn’t need a bath...which is not the case when I’ve had to kennel her in the past. It’s nice to know that when we go out of town, there’s a place where I can take Mattie that I know she’ll enjoy!”
“Kelvin was great! Communication was easy, he picked her up right from our house and brought her back, and he sent pictures while she was with him. Keke came home happy. We’ll definitely be using him as our go-to sitter from now on. Highly recommend!”
“She is someone who is incredibly devoted to animals; her dedication and love are boundless. I had the absolute best experience knowing that Mia was staying in a home filled with plenty of attention, patience, and love. Karlie is always in constant communication, too. She has dogs of her own, and they truly made Mia's stay much more fun, as Mia is super friendly. Mia returned home ready to sleep and rest after days filled with fun and endless running around—in fact, she didn't even want to leave, given how wonderfully she had been treated at Karlie's house!”
“Jody was fantastic, got my girl in last minute and was very knowledgeable and had so much room for my pup to play and roam!! Plus make some new doggy friends! She also took some adorable videos! Already am booking again!! Highly recommend!”
“I was so pleased to find Kim on Rover for a last minute booking. Every interaction was welcoming and professional and I was confident my Charlie would be cared for like he was her own dog. Throughout his stay I got multiple updates and pictures to let me know he was having a blast, eating well, going on walks, and getting along with his playmates. Kim was very accommodating to our flight delay on pickup and I was touched by the parting gift bag Charlie received. I will definitely rebook when I need a sitter again!”
“Elise was amazing! She took my booking at the last minute and cared for my dog, Mix, as if he were her own. While I was away, she sent plenty of updates and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Mix felt loved and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking Elise again in the future. Highly recommend her services!”
“This was the first time we used Rover.com for our 1 year old pup. We were anxious to leave town without her, but Ashley and her family took such great care of Sadie for 5 days. She sent pictures and updates while we were away. We were so relieved that this was such a great experience and can't wait to use her serves again for our next trip.”
About: I worked for a pet walking company doing a little bit of everything. I have walked dogs (sometimes multiples) and done many drop in visits for potty breaks and play times and feedings. I have an extremely flexible and open schedule due to being a stay at home mom the last few years. I would be available for drop in services at most times. I’ve learned that owners will have their own rules and that is what would be followed at the clients house. This could be a list of things to have done in a set amount of time or rules on feeding, playing, etc. In my own home you can expect your pets to be spoiled! We let pets on furniture, have unlimited play time and we have a few friends for them here.
“They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!”
“Abigail went above and beyond in her care for our Lola! I think Lola enjoyed her visit very much, as it felt like Lola was missing Abigail and Cleo the day we brought her home. 🙂 Thank you for such great care!”
“Lisa and her family did a great job watching our puppy for over a week while we were on our honeymoon. Our dog LOVED their 2 dogs and them having a fenced in backyard was perfect for him. She responded very quickly and was respectful and professional. She sent us updates and pictures, so we were always in the know on our pup. We could tell he had a blast and was well taken care of and they stuck to his daily routine which really helped too! We will definitely be booking with her family again for future vacations!”
“David was awesome with our very high energy, sometimes challenging, yet sweet Calvin. David sent us reports and pictures every day which made our trip that much more relaxing and put our minds at ease. We couldn't be more grateful to David and his excellent care of our boy while we were on the road. We recommend David 100% and hope to call on him again. Thank you, David!”
