“Kelly is a fabulous sitter. She always treats my dog like he is a family member and sends adorable photos daily (my dog clearly looks like he has made himself at home in all of them). She's the best!”
“Elisa and James were the best! They loved on our Howie as their own. Howie had a great experience and was extremely well cared for! I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Tamara was awesome! She was super responsive before the meet and greet, as well as during Kai's stay over the weekend. We appreciated that she was super reliable, and also sent us pictures too! Kai had a wonderful time (we could tell, he was worn out) staying with Tamara and her two dogs. We look forward to having him stay with her whenever we need a sitter in the future!”
“Maki and Joel were fantastic with our puppy! I loved the pictures and videos they sent, and also the detailed updates each day. I could tell our little girl was well loved while she was with them.”
“Erin is an incredible dog sitter! She genuinely loves your pet and takes such good care of them. Her whole family are so loving and caring. She made us feel so assured that our pup was in good hands and provided updates throughout our trip. We would recommend Erin to anyone!!”
“Cheryl is amazing with our shy pup. Our girl loves spending time with her and we felt absolutely comfortable leaving her when we were out of the country. Already have a few future dates in mind!”
“Another great day with Tara! My little guy was well taking care of and Tara kept great contact and sent plenty of updates and pictures. We already have another stay on the books with her!”
“Min and Matthew were exceptional sitters for my girl, Rani! Not only did they play with her endlessly (seriously, Rani has zero ability to self-regulate and they went with it!), they also cared for her as their own pup. When she was being finicky about eating, Min took the time to spoon feed her just like I do. Min also send so many pictures and videos, which helped me feel so at peace knowing Rani was well taken care of and loved. I will definitely be sending Rani back to Min and Matthew’s in the future…the 40 minute drive to/from our place is more than worth it!”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“Jax was so well cared for in Joanne’s care. She is delightful and took Jax pretty much on a last minute notice. She always has a smile on her face and was a joy to work with. Jax was well adjusted being back home.”
“This was Duncans second visit with Ali, he stayed over two weeks this time. He came back to me happy, healthy and showed no signs of stress at all. The daily pictures sent to me indicated he was having a fabulous time, enjoying Ali’s family and all the love provided. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. Once again I can highly recommend Ali, she is wonderful!”
“Victoria was WONDERFUL. She had such a calm and kind energy. While she watched our Rosie, she sent text and photo updates, which were so nice to receive. She took such great care of our dog, and we look forward to bringing Rosie back! We love Victoria!”
“My dogs Huey & Edward had a great time with Alicia & her boys. So happy to have found a great rover near me that I can trust with my dogs! She gave them great exercise & so much love.”
“Laura was very friendly and accommodating for my very last minute booking! She welcomed my dog with open arms and to one great care of her! I received a handful of photos and videos while she was there and was very responsive via the messenger! I will definitely ask her to watch my dog again in the future!”
“Samantha is a good care taker. She knows how to care for my senior dog. Her house was great with Winston’s company and has a nice backyard full of good smells. She’s a great communicator and send updates frequently.”
“Fantastic!! Deborah was super accommodating and she treated Bailey as if she was her own dog. We had pictures and updates daily and more than once a day. We’re so happy we found her. We would definitely recommend her🩷”
“Our ageing dog was in amazing care with plenty of time to socialize and attention to specific care instructions. Everything went perfect. Thank you Kathryn and all of your amazing helpers. 💛👏👏”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”

“Alex took excellent care of my 2 Maine Coon Cats and "Moo" cat. My big, scaredy cat spent some time with her. I loved all the pictures that she sent. I appreciate the care that she gave.”
“Joanne took such great care of my cat, Frankie, and my home. Frankie can be a little skittish and she warmed up to her very fast, she’s the cat whisperer! I received lots of photos and videos with regular updates. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Tasha! From the moment we booked her, she was communicative, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure our fur babies felt loved and comfortable while we were away. At the meet and greet our shy boy went right up to her. Not only did she keep our home spotless for our return, but she also went above and beyond in giving our cats the attention and affection they crave. Tasha sent us regular updates with the sweetest pictures, which completely put our minds at ease and brought us so much comfort while we were gone. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and we’re so grateful to have found someone who treats our cats like her own. If you’re looking for a sitter who goes the extra mile and loves your pets as much as you do, Tasha is the one to book. Thank you, Tasha, for all the love and care – we can’t wait to have you back!”
“This was my first booking with Nancy and she took wonderful care of our cat for the week! The daily descriptions were detailed and I know my cat enjoyed the extra pets :) thank you Nancy! We will definitely use you again!”
“My 4 kitties and house were well taken care of. Plus Rebecca alerted us to an unexpected basement leak. With her prompt notice, action to clean-up the water and coordination with a neighbor, we were spared a mess. Septic tanks with optional filters and water filtration systems do cause problems when you least expect it! I can't say enough how thankful we are to Rebecca.”
About: I have owned dogs for over 25 years. I currently have two younger dogs, a 2 years old Goldendoodle and a 1 years old Bernedoodle. Prior to them we had two labradoodle sisters. I have always been an animal lover. Will also help with any cat needs, such as feeding, cleaning out litter and freshening up water. I am currently a retired stay at home parent. Looking to help keep myself a little bit busy. I am flexible with my time and that sets me apart from most. I am currently only offering dog walking, feeding and/or letting your dog(s) out in your fenced in yard. Whichever you prefer and works for your dog needs
About: I️ just have a passion for animals, I️ always want the best for them, if I️ could I️ would have my own rescue one day so I️ can care for as many as I️ desire! I️ just graduated college, I️ don’t have anything going on so I️ have plenty of free time to care for other people’s pets as needed! I️ care for my pets at home by giving them a lots of attention and love, I️ make sure to not leave things around for pets to get into, I️ make sure they get their proper amount of walking as well so they can live a healthy long life.
About: I have been a cat owner for over 4 years now, and I have never looked back! I love my cat, love looking after my friends’ cats, working with shelter cats, you name it! I am a very patient person who is comfortable checking in on your cat for feedings, little box cleanings, and even offering pets!
About: I adopted my cat when she stopped nursing around 7 weeks old and raised her since! Shes about one year old now and is incredibly playful. She gets along with dogs I’ve boarded/sat for before (mostly small dogs) and has play dates with her sisters every so often. Before Sascha, I had two family cats when I was younger.
“Laura is the best! I had to go away for work two weeks after relocating to VA and one week after moving into an apartment; not only did I not have enough time to adjust, my kitties did not either. Leaving them home was difficult enough because they are certified therapy animals and I have severe anxiety, the thought of leaving them with someone I did not know was worse. They had already endured the relocation, staying in the hotel and then moving into the apartment where I had barely begun to unpack. Laura came for the "meet and greet" and all fell into place. My kitties loved her instantly and I was immediately at ease. Laura sent updates and pictures every visit. When I arrived home, my kitties were calm, everything pertaining to kitty care was immaculate. I will not hesitate to call on Laura again.”
“Chloe took wonderful care of our kitties and was a really great communicator! I knew our cats would be shy at first, but she gained their trust very quickly! The photos she sent were super cute and reassuring for us while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Karen left a great first impression with my kitty and I! She asked and answered all our questions, spent some nice cuddle time with Mister, and gave me confidence about her future visits. Many thanks Karen!”
“I had been searching for a pet sitter for over a month and found Helen, met her briefly and trusted her immediately. She is a lovely human and was able to assist in a hectic travel time between both work and personal. Hoping to enlist her assistance again soon”

“We had a great experience with Colleen. This was our pups first time going to a daycare and Colleen was amazing with the entire process. She has a lot of knowledge about handling anxious dogs and gave us great ideas on socializing Kyro going forward. He came back very happy. Kyro had an amazing time.”
About: I'll love them like their my own. I'm new to Rover but I've helped friends, family and neighbors care for their fur babies for the last 30 years or so. I grew up with Old English sheepdog but love all animals. My friends joke that I can't go anywhere without meeting a new dog friend. I currently have a senior dog with an autoimmune disease so I'm comfortable with providing special needs care. I'm great with all types of dogs and love meeting new friends. I'm happy to help with all care needs including walking, feeding, playing, administrating medicine, and cuddle time. I can't wait to meet my new best friend! Outside of school drop off and pick up times I'm available to help with your pets care. I'm available from 8am-10pm most days and can also do overnight if needed. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. During our consultation we can go over your pets specific needs which I'm happy to accommodate as well as a meet and greet so you and your fur baby can feel comfortable with me.
“Maki is so kind, she agreed to watch Gin on late notice. Gin definitely had fun and Maki’s! Maki was great at communicating and sending pics of Gin throughout the day! Definitely recommend!”
“Rebecca put me at ease when I left Kira - by sending me pictures and videos of her playing with their dog Mae. She was quick to text me both before our stay and during Kira's stay. We would book with Rebecca again!”
About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home mom of three amazing boys, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals wasn’t just a hobby — it was a way of life. I’ve owned pets my entire life and have also fostered many dogs over the years, so my boys have grown up learning how to properly handle, respect, and love animals. We recently lost our sweet dog last year and are taking a little break from owning one, but our home feels happiest with paws around. Dog sitting allows us to share that love while giving your pup the attention and care they deserve. Because I work from home full time, your dog will rarely be alone and will get plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large single-family home with lots of space to relax. There’s a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, as well as a spacious front yard — but please know your dog will never be outside unsupervised. In our home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the couch and even in the bed for snuggles at night if that’s what they’re used to. My boys love giving extra attention, playtime, and belly rubs — always guided by what your dog is comfortable with. Our family truly adores and respects animals, and we will care for your dog as if they were our own — with patience, structure, affection, and lots of love. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home full time. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and regular potty breaks as often as needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. We go on at least one walk every day, and I’m happy to adjust the length or pace depending on your dog’s age and energy level. In addition to walks, I incorporate outdoor time, playtime, and plenty of affection into the day. Because I’m already on a steady home schedule, it’s easy for me to maintain feeding times, medication schedules, and any specific routines your dog is used to. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our daily routine and are treated like family. Because I work from home full time, I’m able to provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Dogs have access to our large fenced backyard (always supervised) and enjoy at least one daily walk, along with playtime and snuggles. They’re welcome on the couch and even in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I stick closely to each dog’s normal feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always the same: to provide safe, loving, reliable care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.
About: Hi all! I am interested in doing some petsitting to find some dog friends for my pup. I am not a full-time dog sitter, however, I'd like to find some more dogs that my dog will play with & hopefully build some puppy friendships. I live in Leesburg and WFH. I work from home & my dog is cage free all day. We usually do a longer walk in the mornings (between 6-7am) and play outside when it's cooler, then a short walk around lunch time, and another walk around sunset. Bedtime is around 9:30 in our house. Ideally I'd like to find other low-medium energy dogs that play well with my dog and can be trusted to free roam/play around my townhouse while I work. We go out for lunch time play around the neighborhood so good leash manners is a must.
About: I’m a retired teacher in Leesburg who has always had a soft spot for animals. Years of caring for students taught me patience, reliability, and attentiveness—qualities I bring to every pet I look after. Whether your dog needs calm companionship or playful energy, I provide a safe, loving environment and dependable care. Bonus promo code for new Rover clients! https://www.rover.com/sit/triciam39 As a retired teacher, I bring patience, reliability, and a nurturing touch to every dog I care for. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine, and I’m committed to giving your dog the attention and affection they deserve. I will provide frequent feedback, photos and clear communication with pet parents. I have a fenced yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. I am home most of the day and can provide loving care, supervision and interactive playtime. I can easily crate your dog if desired.
“Barbara was polite, thoughtful, and kind. She texted to let us know how he was doing about halfway through the appointment, and she shared a cute picture. I would definitely book with her again and certainly recommend her!”
“My wife and I are super glad we found Cheryl. Meeting Cheryl gave us immediate confidence that our dog, Dezi, was in great hands. She hosted Dezi for the day and did an excellent job; he felt right at home in her beautiful home, with a fenced yard (plenty of space to play). Cheryl's attention and genuine care made the difference, and we plan to rebook with her in the future.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She was communicated with me about everything and was open and kind about all the things she needed from me. She also took amazing care of my silly dog and sent great pictures of him having fun. When I got my pup back he was happy and tired which is an amazing combination for a husky! We appreciate you and your help so much and will definitely be returning the next time we are in town!”
“Victoria was excellent. Quick, clear communication and very accommodating. Kind and gentle with my old, anxious pup. If I’m ever in her neck of the woods again I’d leave my dog with her without hesitation.”
About: My kids (13-19) and I can offer a safe, happy home, companionship and plenty of play time to your furry friend(s) while you're away! Being semi-retired allows me to dedicate more time to caring for pets. I frequently assist friends and family with pet care when they travel. My life basically revolves around my 3 teenagers, volunteering and bike riding when possible. Your pet will always have company in our home, with plenty of walks and playtime. My children, especially my daughters, love and enjoy their companionship.
“Hihly recommend! Jennifer is a wonderful doggy daycare host. Our boys were excited to spend the day with her and her sweet dog "Sammy". Jennifer sent a few pics and a note to let me know how our dogs were doing.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and currently care for my own two Chow Chows. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions and make sure your furry family member receives the care, attention, and affection they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by providing dependable, compassionate care and regular updates. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I care for my own dogs every day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. My schedule allows me to plan visits and walks consistently, and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or extended care, I’m committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure they always have fresh water and a safe space to rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed on time, receive the exercise and companionship they need, and keep their routines as consistent as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Sancho may be a spoiled little Frenchie, but he met his match with this amazing sitter! She treated him like royalty, even hand-feeding him when he decided his food bowl was beneath him. 🐾 I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who loves your dog like their own (and has the patience of a saint), she’s the one!”
“Phil and Amanda are amazing. Our two pugs can be skittish around other dogs and Phil and Amanda paired them with the perfect duo to help them get more comfortable. They took them on numerous walks and even let them snuggle in bed on an early morning drop off. I can’t recommend them more and I’ll use them again when we come to town.”
About: For years, I've walked the fields and trails along the Potomac River with a furry companion - most recently with Flannery, my family's Great Pyrenees who loved romping in Virginia Bluebell flowers and sinking her paws into mud. Animals have always been a part of my life. I've mucked stalls, herded ewes and lambs, evaded headbutting rams, cuddled pigs, milked goats, trimmed hooves, and named a farm dynasty of cats and kittens names like "Nefertiti" and "Isosceles" (after Egyptian royalty and geometry terms). Animals and their personalities are a source of endless interest for me. “If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.” ~James Herriot I have a flexible work schedule at home and welcome an excuse to enjoy fresh air and exercise together with your pet. I'm available for daycare and dog-walking every day except for Sunday mornings. Your dog can stay indoor in my apartment or outdoor in the fenced-in yard, as needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walking. If additional space is needed for running and walking in the open countryside, I am also happy to take your dog on a "field trip" to my family's little farm.

“Lea M. is great with Sophie and Remy. We get a detailed report about their visit, and the dogs are happy when we come home! I try to schedule with Lea whenever possible.”
About: My family has raised goats and chickens since I was around 10, and have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I've grown up around animals my whole life and I am accustomed to caring for goats, chickens, dogs, and cats! I'm currently home in Northern Virginia from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for all of your animals!! I have a fenced in yard for dogs as well as plenty of space to take them for walks! As well, I have litter boxes/safety measures set up for my 4 cats. I have 8 goats and 13 chickens so I'm used to making sure the outdoor animals are safe from predators and locked safely into their houses at night.
“Nancy is so amazing! She took such great care of our dog Rambo while we were away for the day and took him on two nice long walks, took lots of pictures, and even went out of her way to do a meet and greet the same day I reached out to her since it was pretty last minute on my end! I couldn’t recommend more to take care of your pups.”

About: I have over 5 years of experience house sitting and pet sitting . I have experience from puppies to seniors! I’m comfortable in giving meds I own my own business and work a part time job but they both allow so I’m able to make my own schedule . Day I care for pets in Clients home with all the respect of there home and follow all the guidelines the client sets for their pet
About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)
“Jessica has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She is loving, attentive, and truly treats them like her own. I always feel comfortable knowing they are in such caring hands. She communicates very well, keeps me updated, and is incredibly flexible whenever I have schedule changes. My dogs adore her, and I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“Ximena is an excellent dog walker! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and my dog absolutely adores her. I always come home to a happy and tired pup, which is exactly what I'm looking for. Highly recommend!”

About: I currently work as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Weekdays: Available after 1:30 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. Weekends: Usually fully available for walks, house sitting, overnight stays, and extended care. I’m a Dog Daycare worker during the weekdays, so my services may be limited to the afternoon + evenings from Monday-Friday. With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate. I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have three Portuguese Water Dogs. I train and handle them in multiple dog sports such as agility and dock diving. I am semi retired after selling my business a year ago. Not one to sit still for too long, I think pet caregiving is a great avenue to channel my energy. My schedule is very flexible so I can work this in. I am very safety conscious. At my home we have a fully fenced yard. When out walking, I am always aware of surroundings and what might trigger a pet. I aim to be proactive and in control at all times
About: I’ve lived with pets all my life and currently have one indoor cat (spayed, friendly) and one dog (spayed, spends most time outside). I’ve done dog sitting for up to two weeks in the past and cat sitting for up to one month both in my home and at pet owners’ homes. Though I prefer felines as they’re easier to manage, small/medium dogs are certainly welcome — as long as they’re not too vocal. I am a long distance runner and hiker, so no walking distance is too far for me! My arm strength does have a limit, so any dogs over 30 pounds who pull/aren’t fully leash trained are a no-go. Additionally, I’ve done pet sitting for guinea pigs and rabbits for 1-3 day periods! I work part time and do most work from home, so I’m continuously available all week. My home is right next to the W&OD trail, so walks are convenient all times of day and the trail is never crowded. I’m always happy to drive pets to the trail as well. My cat remains entirely indoors, but the dog has endless pits of energy and so spends lots of time outside. We have two fenced areas, one specifically for the dog and another for the pool, along with ~1 acre of unfenced yard.
About: I’ve been a dog owner and caregiver for 40 years, since I was just 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve owned more than 10 dogs and have cared for many, many more. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs with special needs and medical conditions, including administering medications and following specific care routines. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. Most importantly, I truly believe dogs are family. I provide the same patience, love, attention, and care that I would want someone to provide for my own pets. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work from home, which means I have the flexibility to build my schedule around your fur baby’s routine and needs. I’m available throughout the day for drop-ins, potty breaks, walks, meals, medication, playtime, or simply some extra love and companionship. Your pet won’t be left waiting all day for someone to come home—I can work their care into my day and give them the attention they deserve! I treat every pet as an individual and make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide frequent drop-ins and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them with the same care and consideration I would my own. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kaitlyn really helped me out when I went on a last minute vacation. My dad was home but couldn't take him on a long walk. She allowed me to visit the beach for the first time in 10 years. Love her”
“Colleen is personable and friendly and clearly a dog lover! She connected quickly to my Bella and at our meet and greet. We had a great conversation and she let me know all the ways she was respectful of how an owner takes care of their pet when she cared for them. Over the course of the three walks this weekend, she communicated regularly and provided updates as requested! We're looking forward to working with her again!”
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and I honestly cannot imagine a home without paws in it. Whether you have a high-energy pup who needs to burn off some steam or a cozy kitty who prefers cuddles and quiet companionship, I’ve got you covered! Currently, my husband and I share our home with two incredibly energetic and lovable Golden Retrievers, Brady and Gimli. My husband jokes that he’s third in line for my affection. Honestly, some days he might be right! Our home is a place of constant joy, play, and comfort, and we would absolutely love to welcome your furry family member into our circle.

“Kelly is a fabulous sitter. She always treats my dog like he is a family member and sends adorable photos daily (my dog clearly looks like he has made himself at home in all of them). She's the best!”
“Elisa and James were the best! They loved on our Howie as their own. Howie had a great experience and was extremely well cared for! I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Maki and Joel were fantastic with our puppy! I loved the pictures and videos they sent, and also the detailed updates each day. I could tell our little girl was well loved while she was with them.”
“Erin is an incredible dog sitter! She genuinely loves your pet and takes such good care of them. Her whole family are so loving and caring. She made us feel so assured that our pup was in good hands and provided updates throughout our trip. We would recommend Erin to anyone!!”
“Another great day with Tara! My little guy was well taking care of and Tara kept great contact and sent plenty of updates and pictures. We already have another stay on the books with her!”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“Jax was so well cared for in Joanne’s care. She is delightful and took Jax pretty much on a last minute notice. She always has a smile on her face and was a joy to work with. Jax was well adjusted being back home.”
“My dogs Huey & Edward had a great time with Alicia & her boys. So happy to have found a great rover near me that I can trust with my dogs! She gave them great exercise & so much love.”
“Laura was very friendly and accommodating for my very last minute booking! She welcomed my dog with open arms and to one great care of her! I received a handful of photos and videos while she was there and was very responsive via the messenger! I will definitely ask her to watch my dog again in the future!”
“Samantha is a good care taker. She knows how to care for my senior dog. Her house was great with Winston’s company and has a nice backyard full of good smells. She’s a great communicator and send updates frequently.”
“Fantastic!! Deborah was super accommodating and she treated Bailey as if she was her own dog. We had pictures and updates daily and more than once a day. We’re so happy we found her. We would definitely recommend her🩷”
“Our ageing dog was in amazing care with plenty of time to socialize and attention to specific care instructions. Everything went perfect. Thank you Kathryn and all of your amazing helpers. 💛👏👏”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”
“Sarah and her family took wonderful care of Meesha while I was away. They were kind, communicative, and made me feel at ease with updates throughout her stay. I’d definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. She kept me informed and he had a great time. I’m not sure he wanted to come home as he had so much fun. We will definitely use her again.”
“Tatiana took care of my dog very well. She stayed for 6 days and I received her photo every day with other boarding dogs, I was very well informed. She took care of her daily routines and I would highly recomend her.”
“Anahita was scheduled to take care of Rebel and Mae for a couple of days. An unfortunate event caused their stay to be short but she took very good care of them for the short period of time. We didn’t get any pictures or many updates but that was to be expected with their short stay. We would book again if needed. Thanks a bunch!”
“Kristen did a great job with our pup Dory!! She was communicative and it seems like they have a great set up over there. Would very much recommend her as a sitter for your pupper.”
“5 stars all the way specially for caring, timely communication, providing updates, and friendly environment. My puppy dog spent 5 nights with family and during days & nights I received pictures and updates on how he felt. It was so lovely to see how much they care about my dog and welcome him to their house. I will definitely try again and highly recommend this Lovely family!!!”
