“We have worked with Emmanuel twice for long stays for our big friendly dog Ruben. Ruben comes home happy and is clearly very comfortable in Emmanuel's home. Emmanuel sent us updates regularly. He seems to manage a lot of dogs very well. We plan to use Emmanuel in the future when we go out of town.”
“Our pup had a great time at Cameron’s house. I felt so much better about leaving him with her vice a typical boarding place. She really has a great set up for the pups and did a great job with communicating. Already planning on reserving for future trips! Thanks Cameron!”
“If you love your dog, you want this family to pet board/sit while you’re away. Phenomenal to work with. They love animals and it shows with the care they take. I am very particular about what sort of people are allowed to watch my dog (commutative, social, can follow the walking scheduling etc) and they passed with flying colors.”
“Rae took good care of Jax. She took him in after a very last minute request from me to board for a weekend and was communicative. Would recommend her for anyone needing dog care boarding.”
“Brian did such a wonderful job sitting my dog. He kept me updated with lots of pics of my girl being comfy and happy. I definitely recommend and will be using Brian and Carly again in the future!”
“Brittany and her family made Evie a part of their family for the week - she had so much fun romping around with Finn (and imagine she will start asking us for a sibling soon!) We got loads of photos and updates!! We are so grateful for you!!”

“Jenny is so wonderful, and my pup loves spending time with her and meeting many new friends! Jenny sends multiple updates throughout the day and is very communicative ensuring your pup is well taken care of! Storm can’t wait for her next staycation/play date!”
“We've used Russ's services twice and they have been phenomenal. Harper has very specific instructions and Russell manages to follow them perfectly. She has allergies and is easily traumatized so we can tell immediately when a sitter doesn't follow instructions to a T. 100% recommend.”
“My dog clearly likes being with Julie, who makes her feel very comfortable and loved. Julie also regularly provides informative photos/videos about how the day is going. I highly recommend her.”

“Wonderful family, and very nice home. Kona is a very anxious dog and she settled down immediately and had an amazing time. Stacy gave me several updates every day and will absolutely reach out to her in the future”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Erin was absolutely amazing in taking care of Meelo. She treated my fur baby like one of her own. She took Meelo on long walks every morning and Meelo enjoyed every little of it. She sent me videos and pictures to sho me how Meelo was doing. I’ll definitely use Erin again and also recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who is great with dogs.”
“First time using Rover. Shane was magnificent and my dog is so upbeat. Definitely will use him again. He sent constant updates and pictures of how my dog was going throughout the stay.”
“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”
“Rania did a great job watching our dog and sent us updates as well is video. She was accommodating and Namah had a great time in her fenced in back yard. I would recommend her to care for your fury friend and will definitely use her for our future needs.”

“I just got stuck in the whole dallas air traffic radar fiasco and Lori was great about taking on my cats last minute and late Friday night. Really appreciate how reliable she is and what great care she takes of my cats! She gives great updates and takes great pictures, even of my shyest cat.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m active and enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping higher-energy dogs engaged, but I’m just as comfortable providing a calm environment for older or lower-energy dogs. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and good behavior with younger dogs. My goal is to follow the routine you’ve established and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
“Great experience! She was very flexible, communicative, and took great care of my dogs during the drop-in visits. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my pups were in good hands. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Rachel took fantastic care of our cat Oreo while we were out of town for four days. She made sure Oreo was fed, her litter box was clean and played with her and showed her affection. We truly appreciated Rachel's quick communication style and regular updates.”
“Isabella was great! She was able to help us last minute and make sure that our youngest kitten got her meds on schedule while we were away. She was responsible, and very communicative. Highly recommend !”
“I’m brand new to using Rover and Jasmin really set the bar high! She was very helpful for me and so sweet to my babies! I’ve got four crazies who are afraid of new ppl but she got them all to listen and calm down with her! She’s amazing and I highly recommend her!”
“Matt did such a wonderful job caring for our 3 cats and our home. We received tons of pictures and videos each time he dropped in to see the cats. We could tell that he really got to know each of their personalities and we were able to relax on our trip knowing that our fur babies were in good hands. When we returned from the trip, our house was freshly vacuumed and possibly tidier than we had left it. Thank you, Matt, for taking such good care of Crumb, Kevin, and Ollie!”
“Amanda took great care of Nugget while I was out of town. He tends to be a bit shy around strangers but came right up to greet her when she stopped by before I left town. Amanda said Nug purred the whole time she was over, which means that she passed the vibe check. I would absolutely trust her with him again!”
About: I have hands-on cat care experience from successfully fostering a litter of kittens through to independence, volunteering directly with cats at animal shelters, and spending two years managing cat adoptions at PetSmart. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter maintenance, socializing shy cats, and spotting signs something’s off health-wise.
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals throughout my life. I showed farm animals in my youth and always had plenty of dogs at home. I love the puppy and young adult stage in dogs, and have a major soft spot for the old timers. I currently have a two beagles and we spend lots of time playing and walking outside. I work a full time job, but work from home often. Depending on the week, I can be available for some combination of evening, lunch, and morning check ins/walks. Sundays are available as well for similar services. I am a big believer in the letter of the law when it comes to caring for a pet in your home or on a walk. I want to be able to deliver maximum peace of mind for you and your pooch. If you have any concerns about anxiety, let me know and I can make sure that we are on the same page about ways to combat it.

“Helen was a great find! She is so sweet and patient. By the 3rd drop off our pup was so excited to see her he was jumping out of the car. We were very lucky to find her! I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“My senior pup had such a great daycare day with Emmanuel, he came home tired, happy, and completely content. Emmanuel even sent me photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. We’re now looking forward to the upcoming longer stay and feel very comfortable knowing he’ll be in good hands. Highly recommended!”
“My pup had a great time at Russ's house! She came back super tired from playing with the other dogs. Russ sent me several updates throughout the day, which I really loved. Drop off and pick up was super easy- I will be using Russ again!”
“My Cici had a great time staying with Matthew!! She got to play with dogs all day, he took her on a long walk, and she was happy and oh so tired when I picked her up. Best of all, she smelled amazing! I would highly recommend Matthew.”
“We needed someone to look after our dog Archie for the day while we went to an event. We were going for the whole day and wouldn't be returning until the eveing so we didn't want to leave Archie alone for that long. Our usual dog sitter wasn't available on that day so I contacted Brian and another pet sitter on Rover to see if either one could look after him instead. It was a bit last minute (3 days notice) which was my fault for not trying to sort something sooner. The other person didn't even respond to my enquiry but Brian immediately did and said he was available. I made the necessary booking arrangements and Brian was felixable with drop off and pick up times if we needed to nudge them in case of traffic or whatever (we were an hour away). On the day we got sent pictures of Archie and I could see he was having a good time and felt comfortable with Brian in his home and with his dogs. I can definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a dog sitter and was so thankful he was able to take Archie at short notice. Communication was prompt and the pictures he sent reassured us that Archie was doing well. Thank you Brian!”
About: Mom of dogs, cats, birds, lizards and other animals looking to spoil more in my spare time. Can promise treats and lots of hugs if needed. Working as a researcher so the schedule varies a bit but is generally fairly free since I work from home and have a flexible schedule I have a fenced yard, but would prefer to see animal at clients house since my dog and cat get stressed at having their space invaded, unless it's by a well known friend
“You guys were a life saver, I must admit I was a bit nervous as this was a first time using Rover. But Natalie and Bryce made me at ease for the moment we met. Now let’s get into Dutch :) we had a time getting in the truck as he was still trying to follow you guys!!! That tells me he really enjoyed the care you provided. Thank you thank you soooo much!! We would definitely use you guys again!!!!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 3 years now I love meeting new dogs and get to experience their personality and also care about them like they are my own. I love making funny memes with your pets so get ready! Your furbaby will be sending you text messages! My schedule is flexible! Depending on what time and day you need me. I also accept last minute bookings. Also I accept extended time bookings. I love being around them and letting your furbaby have fun! Let me know if your pet has any sort of allergies. I also make sure to keep an eye on them 24/7
About: Hi! I grew up with family dogs. I always love caring for them and taking them on long walks. I rescued my dog Reagan. She is a 10 year old medium-sized friendly high-energy dog that would love a housemate to spend time and play with. I live in a house with a dog door and a fenced in yard. I am also able to take the dogs out on frequent walks easily. I also have a lot of green space near my place, to include the Mount Vernon Trail and Jones Point Park. When boarding, I will primarily be home with the dogs. Boarding pick-ups after 3pm will incur a daycare fee of $30. I can't wait to meet and spend time with your pup! I work from home full time and have flexibility with my daytime work schedule if the dog needs frequent walks or play through the day. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and have really all the freedom to roam as they please. I also have a dog door so they can go outside as they like. But I can also easily let them out and monitor them if they do not care for a dog door.
About: I am full-time working from home now, so since I’ve got some extra time I would love to take care of your dog! We have a dog, cat, and 1 year old baby here but would love to have someone else over to play. We have a large fenced in back yard, perfect for running around or relaxing in the sun. I would also love to pick your dog up and take it on a walk. I am available all day at home. We love dogs, have relied on Rover sitters a lot, and would love to help you out! Please let me know if you would like to come for a meet and greet! Our lives have revolved around our pets for many years. Taking care of them is the first thing we do when we wake up and they are top of mind all day long. Our dog enjoys spending a lot of time outside, but if your dog wants to shadow me that’s great too! I am happy to accommodate any care requirements
“Jennifer was amazing and helped me out last minute when another rover sitter cancelled! She was super responsive and Spike enjoyed spending the day with her and Louis :) I would definitely book again!”
“Jordyn was great - very flexible with timing which was a huge help since we were on the road and weren't sure exactly when we would get there. Zeke had a really great time with her - sad for him since it was only for one night! We will definitely be contacting Jordyn again in the future when we come to the area again!”
“Abigail was wonderful. I needed a sitter at the last minute for super early in the morning and late in the evening. She rearranged her schedule so she could help me. When I dropped my dog off she was very kind and I felt comfortable leaving. When I picked up my dog, I could tell she did a good job because my dog is normally very shy and gets depressed when I am away. When I picked my dog up, although extremely happy to see us, she still went by Abigail.”

“Ian takes amazing care of my very reactive dog. I am nervous about anyone but me walking her, so it’s a relief to have someone I can trust and has experience dealing with my high energy girl. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and providing pets with plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away. I’m primarily available for evening, weekend, and select weekday pet-sitting opportunities. My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure I can provide consistent and reliable care for your pet. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine and special needs, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.
“Lori is excellent! My pup and I are so thankful for her. She is trustworthy! My pup has bad allergies and is epileptic (a lot going on, I know!), but Lori has such confidence with it all. I will absolutely use her again!”
“Isabella is great! She's very responsive, flexible to help with added walks on unexpected days that pop up during the week, and she takes extra special care of my pup who can be stubborn at times and sensitive to heat. Highly recommend!”
About: I currently have a 2 1/2 year old pug named Alfie. Love going for walks and playing with pups. Have spare time that I can dedicate to giving pets the attention and exercise that they need and deserve. Very attentive and enjoy being outside and living an active lifestyle. But if a dog doesn’t like activity as much I also enjoy cuddling and giving belly rubs inside the house as well. If you’re looking for someone to love your pet and care for them the way you personally would I am the right person for your dog walking or overnight stay needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have about your pet! Weekends are the best availability for me. I do have some availability in the mornings to check on animals and go for walks as well. I am willing to visit the pets home to care for them if they are more comfortable staying in their own space. Pets are also welcome in my home if they are good with another dog and comfortable being somewhere new.
“Matt is a great walker for Nala. He is able to work with dogs who have anxiety and provides positive encouragement for Nala. In time, Nala has come to enjoy their walks together and now she speeds through them. Thank you, Matt, for everything!”
“Wow. Stephanie was the most amazing dog walker! She treated Kennedy like her own and was so responsive throughout the entire week. I will definitely go back to only Stephanie moving forward and I am glad we finally found a reliable and experienced dog walker! Thank you, Stephanie!!”

I also walk dogs if weather permits about 2 times a day once in the morning and another in the evening. I have experience with fostering dogs as well which me and my family have been doing for about 2 years now. Currently working part time.

If I do not have work during the day I will go in the afternoon and check up on them around 1-2pm I will make sure to check up on dogs if in your house I will check in multiple times a day, walk them twice and make sure to feed and check to see if they have enough water. If dog sitting in my abode then they will have constant supervision as there is always someone in the house I have a fenced in backyard as well they will also be fed per your instructions and walked twice a day.
About: I always lived in a house with dogs or cats. I’ve taken care of dogs large and small. I worked as a volunteer with therapy horses in middle school as a sidewalker and groomer. Additionally have taken care of chickens and rats from a young age. I am often times pet sitting a special needs (blind) greyhound. I currently am working a part time jobs where I build my own schedule. I am a dance teacher who leaves early in the morning for morning classes and then am usually free in the afternoons for the rest of the day. I am often able to add extra tasks in my day with this flexibility. I treat other people’s space with respect. Will clean up any mess/debris right away. I will keep your fur baby company and can provide much enrichment and love.
“Lenny is great! I could say more, but those three words fit perfectly. My dog loves her. I was sold by the first picture of my boy getting water on his walk during a hot day. Lenny is thoughtful and asks the right questions. I feel really good letting her take care of my boy. More to the point, my dog is excited for his walks – you can’t give a better recommendation that that!”
“Randy is an incredible dog sitter. He is communicative, timely, thoughtful, and just all around an asset to the Rover community. He sends plenty of pictures and updates and is incredibly patient with our Golden Retriever puppy, Frankie. I can’t recommend Randy enough!”
“Brittani has been walking my dog Denim this past week, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Returning to the office has been a huge adjustment for both me and Denim since she struggles with separation anxiety, but Brittani has been so patient, kind, communicative, and reliable throughout the transition. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and that peace of mind means everything to me. Really grateful we found her, and Denim is too 🐾”
About: Hi, I’m Angel! With experience working and volunteering at animal shelters and Dog Daycares, I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who will treat your pets like my own. Your pets happiness and well-being are my top priorities! Updates and photos are included in every service for your peace of mind. When you leave your pet with me, you can rest assured they’re in loving, capable hands. As a substitute teacher (who is now out for the summer!)
