“Luke had a relaxing weekend with Ali and her family. He was so welcomed, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m glad he was able to roam freely throughout the house just like he does at home.”
“William was wonderful to our boy, Mickey! He was so flexible and understanding to coordinate a meet and greet then overnight stay. Lots of updates were sent showing Mickey having a great time with Maui! Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating!”
“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.”
“Sri and Aparna were wonderful hosts to Cody. I had a last minute cancellation for coverage and they responded quickly. He enjoyed their fenced in yard and time with the family, including their cute dog. He got treats for entertaining them. Great experience.”
“If I could give Deb more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving Baxter for 25 days was something we were genuinely nervous about, but Deb made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, it was obvious that Baxter wasn’t just being boarded—he became part of her family. Every single day, we looked forward to the adorable updates, photos, and videos that showed just how much fun he was having. Deb even treated him to his favorite daily pup cups, which quickly became one of the highlights of his vacation! The Memorial Day photo shoot was beyond adorable and is something we’ll treasure for years. It perfectly captured Baxter’s happy personality and the extra effort Deb puts into making every dog feel special. What impressed us most was the genuine love and attention she gave Baxter. She continued to learn his personality, spoiled him with affection, made sure he stayed active, and gave him the comfort and companionship he needed while we were away. Every update reassured us that he was safe, happy, and incredibly well cared for. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and honestly looked like he had just returned from his own vacation. That’s the greatest compliment we can give. Thank you, Deb, for the priceless love, the endless cuddles, the daily pup cups, the amazing photo memories, and for treating Baxter like one of your own. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Baxter can’t wait for his next stay!”
“Valerie was great. She sent so many updates, pictures, and videos showing just how happy our dog was. He was so well taken care of and was having so much fun with Valerie’s dog we almost felt bad picking him up.”
“Sudha is AMAZINGG!!! From the time we scheduled the meet and greet to the very end, Bailey and I both immediately felt so comfortable with Sudha and her adorable pup Thor. Bailey has stayed with many dog sitters, but she’s never warmed up to someone this quickly and I’ve never felt this confident in having someone outside our family take care of Bailey as I did with Sudha. Highly recommend!!!! ❤️”
“We had a great experience with Tatiana and would absolutely book with her again! She was incredibly easy to coordinate with from start to finish, which made travel planning so much less stressful. Our dog Shep seemed to really enjoy his stay and made new friends! We also especially appreciated Tatiana’s care and communication around a hot spot flare-up Shep was dealing with right before his stay. Tatiana kept us updated on how he was doing, including how he was handling his medication and whether she noticed any licking or itching, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her location is also super convenient to the airport (IAD), which was a huge plus for travel happening by plane. Thank you, Tatiana, for a great stay for Shep and wonderful experience for us dog parents!”
“we were a first time user to Rover and we were 100% satisfied with our host Karmen for our golden doodle. The host made us completely comfortable so that we could Enjoy our one week’s vacation and was extremely communicative with us during the entire process. We highly recommend her to any person who wants the best care possible! She treated our dog like a family member!”
“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!”
About: My wife and I recently lost our two 15 year old dogs and kids moved out. We’ve had dogs for over 30 years including several to very advanced age. We truly love dogs and would dote over a visitor. We work from home and are self employed / partially retired. We have no need to leave the house and wouldn’t have to leave a dog alone, but if at all it would be brief. We have plenty of time to spoil a dog or two :) We have a large yard but it isn’t fenced so would need to let out on a leash. We have plenty of indoor space and are safety conscious.
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Cody while I was away. We are lucky to have such a wonderful sitter, and I’m so grateful for your help. Thanks again for everything!”
“Eun and her husband took great care of Jax and provided me with videos and pictures throughout his stay. Thank you for making him comfortable and keeping him busy. Looking forward to our next booking.”
“Kristen and her family took excellent care of my little chihuahua, Ringo. This was my first time leaving him for a full week and I had some anxiety but Kristen sent me photos and videos every day so I could see that my guy was enjoying the same comforts as he does at home (he is definitely an "on the furniture" dog). He got lots of attention and play time. He even slept in her son's bed. Kristen was very flexible with drop off and pick up timing, which is helpful with flights that are not always on time. The surrounding area of her place has lots of nice dog walking areas. Overall, the experience was great, and Kristen is super nice and caring. I will definitely contact her again when I travel.”
About: 30+ Years of Experience: Puppies to Seniors I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over three decades, caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand how to read canine body language and cater to different life stages: Puppies: Patient with potty routines, basic manners, and high-energy play. Seniors: Gentle, attentive, and experienced with mobility support, low-impact routines, and administering oral or topical medications on a strict schedule. Work-From-Home Care & Supervision As a self-employed professional working full-time from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. Whether they need a mid-day bathroom break, a play session, or just someone present to keep them company while I work, I offer consistent supervision and a calm, reliable routine throughout the day. Pet-Friendly Home & Spacious Fenced Yard Our entire home is fully set up for dogs! We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where pups can safely run, play, and explore. We also have one high-energy, super-friendly resident dog who loves meeting new friends and playing with our furry guests. If your dog prefers a buddy to burn off energy with, they’ll have a built-in playmate here. Active Walks & Nearby Trails I love staying active! Living right near several fantastic walking trails makes it easy to provide fresh air, structured exercise, and mental stimulation tailored to your dog's fitness level—whether that’s a lively stride on the trails or a relaxed sniff-walk around the neighborhood.
“I love having Xinyi watch my kitties! I especially love all the updates she gives about them. Puts my mind at ease they are in a safe and loving home while I’m on travel.”
“Bandit was well taken care of during our short trip into the city. I know he was well taken care of and got a lot of good walks in during his stay. Harshitha was very communicative. Easy drop off and pick up. I would definitely recommend and will use her again.”

“We are so lucky to have found Nicole, she has been there for us every time we needed this past year & I couldn’t be more grateful!!! She is very thorough in the care she provides and always gives us the cutest pics of our lil fur baby, which gives me peace of mind when we are away. Thank you, Nicole!!!”
“She did a great job with my cat Iris! This is the second time I’ve booked her and she was absolutely wonderful. She’s very communicative and takes great care of my cat.”
“Loved how Yvette cared for our cats while we were away! She was very responsible, attentive, and clearly cared about their well-being. Communication was excellent — she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came back to two healthy and happy cats :) Would definitely recommend her and would absolutely ask her to care for our cats again!”
“Pam is amazing! We had a great experience for our first time using a cat sitter! Our cat Yuna was so happy while boarding with Pam to the point she was a little sad coming back home lol. We weren't concerned at all while on vacation because of how happy Yuna was with Pam. We received daily updates and pictures. Pam is very caring and clearly a cat whisperer. We will definitely leave Yuna with Pam on future vacations!”
“So grateful for Karisa's excellent care. I booked her already twice and my cat(s) was/were in great hands. She was punctual and reliable, and was able to give my cat her medication. She sent me daily updates and photos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. I'll definitely be using her services again.”
“Sofia was great with communicating about the cats and how they were behaving and gave them lots of love and attention. Even got our Chloe out and investigating while she was here!”
About: Hi! My name is Jordyn and I am 25 years old. I have had dogs my whole life, and I love them! I have had a Husky and Labrador Retriever, a Rottweiller, and I currently have a Goldendoodle that I have cared for since she was a puppy. I used to dog sit/walk for friends and family members, and have multiple years of experience on Rover. Now I hope to help take care of your dog too! I have taken care of many dogs ranging from Papillions to Great Danes. I love interacting with all breeds of dogs. I am available Thursday through Sunday. I would be happy to care for your dog! I work a hybrid schedule and will typically be available Thursday through Sunday to do walks, house sit, or do drop in visits for your pet. I always make sure doors and other entrances are closed and locked upon entry and exit. Your pet will always have food and water according to owner instructions.
“Mercedez once again did a great job watching our cats. She's responsive and very good at communication. She dealt ably with the regular meds for Samantha, our senior cat, and for Moe after his dental surgery. I'd recommend Mercedez without reservations.”
“Ava was great with my 2 cats! She had no problem giving medication and sent several pictures each day. I appreciate how neat she kept all the cat supplies too. I’d definitely have Ava back to watch my cats!”
“June is FANTASTIC and took such great care of our girls while we were away. Even our most critical kitty fell in love with her. She has a lovely way about making each kitty feel comfortable based on their unique personality.”
“Skylar was amazing with our 2 cats! She was very patient and let them warm up at their own pace. Both cats were very relaxed and comfortable our entire time away thanks to Skylar. We couldn't recommend Skylar highly enough.”
“Daniela took excellent care of Katya. She was attentive, kind, and made sure Katya felt comfortable the entire time. Her communication was quick and reassuring. I’d happily book her again.”
“I was worried that my kitty wouldn't eat enought while I was on vacation because he has kidney disease and is very picky. Heather made the extra effort necessary to get him to eat. She also sent lots of pictures and expressed affection for my sweet kitty. I feel better about leaving him knowing that he will at least get a little love while I am gone.”
“Esther was wonderful with our two cats, one of whom needs medication. She followed the instructions on their special food and kitty-preferences and we know they were in good hands while we were away. She sent thorough updates and communications. I would definitely love to have her take care of our girls again and would highly recommend her!”
“She was absolutely amazing with our cat—attentive, reliable, friendly, and incredibly on top of everything while we were away. She kept us updated, paid attention to every detail, and clearly cared for him like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and complete peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

About: Our family of five discovered just how much joy a dog can bring when we welcomed our Coton de Tulear, Kova, into our home. Since then, caring for him has become something we all enjoy—from walks and playtime to simply spending time together. Kova is naturally a little anxious, so he’s taught us to be patient, observant, and respectful of every dog’s unique personality and comfort level. We’ve also experienced what it’s like to trust someone else with a beloved pet when we’ve traveled, and those positive experiences inspired us to become Rover sitters ourselves. My goal is to provide the same peace of mind to other families by treating every dog with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. For me, pet sitting isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about making sure each dog feels welcomed, comfortable, and loved until they’re back with their family. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we already plan our days around Kova. Every day includes walks, outdoor time, play, meals, and plenty of companionship. Since either my wife or I work from home every day, someone is almost always home to provide attention, potty breaks, exercise, and care throughout the day. We’re also happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule, including meal times, medications, favorite activities, or any special instructions that help them feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our highest priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. We take the time to make sure every dog settles in at their own pace and can provide separate space if they prefer a quieter environment. We’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding routines, medications, exercise, and any special needs. To help you feel connected while you’re away, we’ll send at least one daily update with photos so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy your time away with confidence.

“Nina was amazing! She was quick and friendly when communicating and I appreciated the multiple photo/video updates throughout my pup’s stay. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Susan was so loving and sweet with my Rosie! She has plenty of walks and she went out of her way to make sure Rosie ate her food. I will absolutely have her watch my dog again in the future and recommend her.”
About: I have over six years of experience providing dedicated care for dogs and one year with cats, specializing in everything from overnight house sitting to daily visits for walks, meals, and playtime. As a full-time pet care professional, I easily manage multi-pet households and design balanced routines tailored to each animal's needs. I have extensive experience supporting both high-energy puppies who need basic training reinforcement and senior pets requiring extra patience, gentle pacing, and medication administration. I am incredibly detail-oriented, remain completely calm under pressure, and prioritize consistent communication by sending regular text, photo, and video updates. At home, I have a friendly one-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves welcoming new dog companions. While I dedicate my own mornings, middays, and evenings to your animals, I am personally occupied on weekends between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. During this brief window, my wife will step in to care for the pets, ensuring your animals are never left unattended and receive uninterrupted, reliable attention. I am genuinely passionate about animals—the kind of person who always stops to greet a dog on the sidewalk—and we will treat your pets with the absolute love, safety, and respect they deserve as members of the family. Pet care is the central focus of my daily schedule. Because I have a highly flexible routine, I am able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and structured play sessions throughout the day. My mornings start with fresh water, feeding, and an initial stretching walk, followed by regular check-ins and companionship every few hours and an evening walk. On weekends, I dedicate extra time to longer walks, outdoor play, ensuring every guest feels safe, engaged, and fully integrated into a stable daily flow. I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I closely follow any specific feeding schedules, house rules, and instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I provide constant companionship, keep a watchful eye during play, and give plenty of individual attention, affection, and belly rubs so they feel completely safe and loved while you are away.

About: I have several years of experience caring for my own (fur) baby girl 'Ginger', which has given me a strong understanding of daily pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. I also regularly provide doggy daycare for my friends' dogs because I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making them feel safe and comfortable. Since I mostly work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, ensure they stay on their routine, and provide regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. My Experience Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors and I enjoy getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm committed to building long-term relationships with both pets and their owners through dependable, loving care. What You Can Expect Every booking includes: Daily updates Multiple photos Walks and potty breaks Playtime and enrichment Plenty of affection Respect your pet's routine I mostly work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, ensure they stay on their routine, and provide regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship.

My 14 year old daughter wanted a job and I just thought since she loves animals so much she could try out rover!

I raised my cat from 6 weeks forward, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, giving attention to/playing with, and giving any medicines needed. I currently have a 4 and 5 year old cat. I also regularly volunteered at the cat Cafe in Murfreesboro, TN before I relocated to the area. There I was responsible for playing with the cats, feeding them and cleaning litter boxes.

I am willing to stay as long as needed to keep your furbabies happy and make sure they are fully taken care of. Being sure to leave your home exactly how it was when I arrived.

Summer Hours Update: I am available anytime during the summer! I’m not limited to my school schedule until August 10th, 2026 I’m looking to make some new furry friends!

My drop-in visits are usually at least an hour, especially if there are more than just one pet.

If you have them, I prefer written specific needs/directions so that there is no confusion about what your pet’s needs are.

No rules, your sweet pups are allowed wherever they’d like to go, but I do make sure all your rules and schedules are followed :) My weekly routine is simple. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to work around your schedule and attend to all your sweet pups needs I follow your schedule provided, but I also allow your pup to lead the way. If they want to play, we play. We take walks. Cuddles. Whatever your pup is used to and likes we’ll follow along.

“If I could give Deb more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving Baxter for 25 days was something we were genuinely nervous about, but Deb made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, it was obvious that Baxter wasn’t just being boarded—he became part of her family. Every single day, we looked forward to the adorable updates, photos, and videos that showed just how much fun he was having. Deb even treated him to his favorite daily pup cups, which quickly became one of the highlights of his vacation! The Memorial Day photo shoot was beyond adorable and is something we’ll treasure for years. It perfectly captured Baxter’s happy personality and the extra effort Deb puts into making every dog feel special. What impressed us most was the genuine love and attention she gave Baxter. She continued to learn his personality, spoiled him with affection, made sure he stayed active, and gave him the comfort and companionship he needed while we were away. Every update reassured us that he was safe, happy, and incredibly well cared for. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and honestly looked like he had just returned from his own vacation. That’s the greatest compliment we can give. Thank you, Deb, for the priceless love, the endless cuddles, the daily pup cups, the amazing photo memories, and for treating Baxter like one of your own. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Baxter can’t wait for his next stay!”
“Valerie was great. She sent so many updates, pictures, and videos showing just how happy our dog was. He was so well taken care of and was having so much fun with Valerie’s dog we almost felt bad picking him up.”
“Sudha is AMAZINGG!!! From the time we scheduled the meet and greet to the very end, Bailey and I both immediately felt so comfortable with Sudha and her adorable pup Thor. Bailey has stayed with many dog sitters, but she’s never warmed up to someone this quickly and I’ve never felt this confident in having someone outside our family take care of Bailey as I did with Sudha. Highly recommend!!!! ❤️”
“We had a great experience with Tatiana and would absolutely book with her again! She was incredibly easy to coordinate with from start to finish, which made travel planning so much less stressful. Our dog Shep seemed to really enjoy his stay and made new friends! We also especially appreciated Tatiana’s care and communication around a hot spot flare-up Shep was dealing with right before his stay. Tatiana kept us updated on how he was doing, including how he was handling his medication and whether she noticed any licking or itching, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her location is also super convenient to the airport (IAD), which was a huge plus for travel happening by plane. Thank you, Tatiana, for a great stay for Shep and wonderful experience for us dog parents!”
“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!”
About: My wife and I recently lost our two 15 year old dogs and kids moved out. We’ve had dogs for over 30 years including several to very advanced age. We truly love dogs and would dote over a visitor. We work from home and are self employed / partially retired. We have no need to leave the house and wouldn’t have to leave a dog alone, but if at all it would be brief. We have plenty of time to spoil a dog or two :) We have a large yard but it isn’t fenced so would need to let out on a leash. We have plenty of indoor space and are safety conscious.
About: 30+ Years of Experience: Puppies to Seniors I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over three decades, caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand how to read canine body language and cater to different life stages: Puppies: Patient with potty routines, basic manners, and high-energy play. Seniors: Gentle, attentive, and experienced with mobility support, low-impact routines, and administering oral or topical medications on a strict schedule. Work-From-Home Care & Supervision As a self-employed professional working full-time from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. Whether they need a mid-day bathroom break, a play session, or just someone present to keep them company while I work, I offer consistent supervision and a calm, reliable routine throughout the day. Pet-Friendly Home & Spacious Fenced Yard Our entire home is fully set up for dogs! We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where pups can safely run, play, and explore. We also have one high-energy, super-friendly resident dog who loves meeting new friends and playing with our furry guests. If your dog prefers a buddy to burn off energy with, they’ll have a built-in playmate here. Active Walks & Nearby Trails I love staying active! Living right near several fantastic walking trails makes it easy to provide fresh air, structured exercise, and mental stimulation tailored to your dog's fitness level—whether that’s a lively stride on the trails or a relaxed sniff-walk around the neighborhood.
“I love having Xinyi watch my kitties! I especially love all the updates she gives about them. Puts my mind at ease they are in a safe and loving home while I’m on travel.”
“Bandit was well taken care of during our short trip into the city. I know he was well taken care of and got a lot of good walks in during his stay. Harshitha was very communicative. Easy drop off and pick up. I would definitely recommend and will use her again.”
“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!!!”
“Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.”
“Elizabeth was an amazing pet sitter. She kept careful, complete records noting how many walks our 2 Cavapoos had each day and their feeling schedule. She sent a wonderful collage of photos every day we were gone, with an accompanying commentary about their hilarious behavior! She was the PERFECT sitter for our highly active pups and you could tell they were so happy to be with her - you could almost see the smiles on their faces in the photos. She is clearly a dog-lover and will provide your pet with a happy, safe, and loving environment for their entire stay. We will never use a commercial boarding service again and have already booked another stay with the most wonderful dog sitter ever. We highly recommend Elizabeth for all your pet-sitting needs!”
“Daphne was so sweet with our girl. We always got lots of pictures and great communication from Daphne during our booking. She was very responsive to all of our messages and took great care of Tibbles.”
“Julia is amazing with dogs. My pup always gets so happy approaching her front door. He knows that inside will be some kind human friends and some bonus furry friends at times too. We can be at ease while away and know that all instructions were followed and he was cared for and loved. Thanks, Julia!”
“We love having Susanna take care of Ruby! She’s kind, prompt, and makes sure our pup is taken care of when we need a drop in or have to spend a night away. Thank you Susanna!”
“Ella was wonderful with our dog. She took her for regular walks and seemed to enjoy just hanging out with our dog as well. She sent regular updates and great pictures. We had a good meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure that we were all on the same page. Ella obviously loves having the dogs over and it make my wife and me glad that our good dog was spending time away from us in a loving home.”
