“Alyssa jumped in while Dane was out of town and made Lobster’s stay feel like a mini vacation. Lobster came along with his buddy Ren and they were straight into dog park adventures, backyard playtime, and running around with Lady (their adora-pup) like old friends. Between hanging out with Alyssa and her two daughters and all the fun outside, the dogs were clearly living their best lives. The steady stream of happy photos made it obvious they were having a blast and being so well cared for. We live 35 mins away from Dane and Alyssa, and the distance didn't bother us because we know our pup will be in good hands. We will book again and again!”
“Maggie and her dogs were great! Got daily updates with pictures and a couple videos! Medication was given per instructions! Meet and greet before the booking where we went over everything was helpful and informative! Will definitely be booking again!”
“What wonderful caretakers! They sent lots of updates which gave me so much peace of mind while away from my boys! They were also highly attentive and responsive and were delightfully flexible when I got back from my trip early and was able to pick them up sooner than originally expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone and next time I need a dog sitter I will be asking them first!”
“Our high energy lab SAL knows a dog lover when she sees one! We get to Irey’s house and I’m dragged up the stairs to the front door. Needless to say I worry not when our dog is there. A clean loving environment where happy dogs abound! Great communication as well.”
“Ilse and her family were amazing caregivers for our dog. We highly recommend. Communication and care could not be better. River was happy and well cared for. Regular walks, cuddles, and attention. Pictures, videos and updates daily made us very comfortable with his stay. Thank You for caring for him as your own.”
“Glad to have left my Teddy at Kristina’s care. I knew he would be well taken care of while I was away. Kristina initiated the meet-and-greet which I very much appreciated. I’m always hesitant to just drop off Teddy somewhere new without meeting first so it was cool that Teddy got to meet Kristina and family and their fur baby Luna first before spending a few nights over. Kristina kept me updated with pictures and texts. And I’m grateful she adjusted time of pick up as well. Definitely recommend Kristina to watch your fur babies.”
“Kristin was very accommodating towards Milo who is a reactive dog! I appreciate her thoroughness in our meet and greet and she did a great job taking care of Milo while we were on our trip. I had no worries while we were away. Will def book again!!”
“Very nice couple. We booked them for a short stay and they took care good of ours boys, very flexible for drop off and pick up time, also always send pictures and updates! Thank you again”
“I've boarded Luna with Nari a handful of times now and she's always had a great time playing with Soy and Sundae! Nari always sends a lot of great photos/videos of Luna throughout the day and provides very detailed updates. I've never once felt anxious or nervous of Luna being in Nari's care while being on vacation. Luna absolutely loves her and her pups and I'm definitely going to be a regular when it comes time to board Luna again! Highly recommend!”
“Francena’s Doggy Disneyworld is a literal oasis for your small breed dog 🐾💕 They have the perfect set up outside and inside for pups to live their best life!! I think my little Poppy might miss it more than I’d like!”
“Our puppy had the best time with Luna and company. We got picture updates every single day. We love that she was so well cared for and loved and had friends to play with. We love that she got to go on adventures with walks every single day. We never felt any concern with her stay. We cannot wait to hire Larry and Luna and Rikki again for future stays, it was the best money we could have ever spent knowing that our dog was so well cared for.”
“Sara went above and beyond during this holiday weekend. They picked up our dog and dropped him off safely. She always sends several updates and pictures of our pup so we know that he is happy. Our pup always comes home tired and well cared for. We will continue to use Sara for all our boarding needs. Thank you Sara!”
“Judith and her husband are lovely people! So kind and friendly, and our pup settled in super well with them pretty quickly. He seemed to have a great time, and Judith sent daily updates with photos. It's always nice to see your fur-kiddo relaxed and happy!”
“Kathy and Craig do an amazing job caring for little dogs, their place is like a small dog paradise with the backyard and similar-sized dogs to play with. Kathy is appropriately communicative and I appreciated the meet and greet beforehand to make sure the dogs were a good fit. Our dog has never been happier at another's home, we're looking forward to future visits.”
“Dennis and Lynn were awesome dog sitters! My dog felt instantly comfortable with them even though he tends to be anxious in new environments. We got a daily photo or video which really helped me feel at ease knowing how much fun my dog was having. I highly recommend Dennis and Lynn and will definitely be booking them again for future needs!”
“Jessi was amazing! She was very understanding and flexible when I messed up the drop off time and sent daily updates! I would definitely recommend using her for your fur babies! Finn came back so happy and tired from all the playing!”
“Amazing!! I felt like Leslie really cared about my dog and he had a great time at Leslie’s place. Frequent update with cute pictures and videos of my dog and many play times!! Would definitely recommend Leslie with confidence :)”
“Brandon went above and beyond as a sitter for my pup. He was extremely communicative about how my pup was doing during his stay. Bz (my pup) made fast friends with Loona and got along great with the other pups in a house as well. Bz got his nails rounded, only after checking in with me, he even got a bath with the other pup. I will definitely be returning to Brandon when I am looking for a sitter to watch Bz. If you are looking for someone to truly care and love you dog while you are away I cannot recommend Brandon enough.”

“We had a great experience with our cat sitter. She took excellent care of our cats and made sure they were fed, comfortable, and well looked after. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos—it made us feel much more relaxed while we were away. Our cats clearly liked her, and we would definitely book with her again!”
“This is the second time Christina has taken care of my cat, and once again she went above and beyond. She genuinely cares about your pets and their wellbeing. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Shelli was fantastic! We booked her kind of last minute and our regular rover wasn't available. She was wonderful with our pup and he was very well taken care of by her. We will definitely use her again.”
“I have a diabetic cat who's afraid of everyone and requires insulin injections 2x a day. I have not been able to find anyone willing to take on this challenging situation, until I found Cassie on Rover. I swear she can walk on water and is a cat whisperer. She took the time to come and watch me do a glucose test and insulin injection before the first trip I've been able to take in 7 yrs , knowing she would take good care of Punkin. I was gone for 8 days and she came twice a day and Punkin didn't hide from her like she does with everyone but me. I could not recommend her highly enough and will definitely be planning longer trips, using Cassie without worrying my cat would suffer. If you want a sweet, reliable and caring cat sitter, you want Cassie on Rover.”
“Axel was wonderful with my kitty. They gave lots of updates that gave me so much peace of mind on my travels. They also took great care of the house. They will be my first choice for cat sitting when I travel going forward.”
“Heather was amazing! Very communicative, which was especially helpful! Instantly got along with our little Whitney. Very glad Heather was looking after our little fur baby.”
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing! This is my first time using Rover and it was very last minute for a trip I suddenly needed to take on short notice. She was available , and totally accommodating of my unique schedule and needs with my cats. She wrote up such wonderful little daily reports from her visits, with pictures, and has a great ethic around what she does , for example always making sure to lay eyes on all of the Cats before leaving, in case some of them are hiding. She even generously gave more of her time than necessary when one of my cats showed up and decided it wanted a little more attention moments before she was about to leave. I highly recommend Chelsea , and will definitely look to rebook her in the future if she's available when I'm traveling.”
About: I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and needs. I provide gentle, patient care while respecting their space, routines, and comfort levels. I enjoy giving cats attention, playtime, and a calm environment where they feel safe and loved.
“Larcy did a great job with our 2 cats while we were gone for 5 days. She sent multiple updates and pictures so that we knew they were all taken care of. Will be using her services again in the future!”
“Isabel took wonderful care of our cat Esther while we were on vacation, including cleaning her litter box and sending great photos and videos of her. We came home to a happy healthy feline. Esther recommends Isabel if you are looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter, and we recommend her too.”
“Julie has been walking our 50 lb dog for several weeks and recently stopped over to feed and look in on both our dogs while we were away. I appreciate how communicative she is and she is so sweet with our dogs. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Cyndi was wonderful! I’m always nervous leaving our girls so I really appreciate her being so consistent and communicating while we were gone. She really went above and beyond for us and I can’t recommend her enough! We will 100% be rebooking her for all of our future trips.”
“I stupidly set my 17-year old cat down on the sidewalk while trying to verify Amanda's address. A moment later Señorita had vanished into a nearby swamp area. Amanda was a pure godsend as she helped me triangulate the cat's location. Ultimately they bonded and Señorita seemed sad to leave when I came back to pick her up.”

“We came into town for a destination wedding with our two dogs and didn’t want to leave them at the hotel during the wedding. Sara took our pups in and played with them all day and we got updates with pictures on how they were doing. It was great comfort knowing they were having fun and were in great hands. When the wedding went over the time we told Sara she was super flexible and accommodating to hang onto the dogs and stay up until we got there. 10/10 recommend this for your dogs! She is awesome!”

About: Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.
“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”
“Nich was great! Super friendly, took great care of my pup. Video and text updates. Not afraid to ask questions as needed. I would definitely trust Nich again to watch my little monster 🐶. 😊”
“Han is outstanding! She was so kind and understanding to my very anxious pup. I was worried about a new babysitter and if he would get along with her doggos and I was more than happy to see him fit right in to the pack! A very calm and safe environment for my little boy, such a great find.”
“Heidi had a great time playing and taking in the sun. She played in the back yard with the other puppies Judith and her hubby were friendly and courteous Heidi liked them”
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with real, hands-on experience — I’ve had my dog for 10 years and I care for my two cats daily. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I take care of my two cats and my dog daily, from feeding and cleaning to giving them attention, playtime, and exercise. Because caring for animals is something I’m used to and genuinely enjoy, adding pet sitting into my schedule fits smoothly and feels like an extension of what I already do. At home, I take care of my pets by keeping them on a consistent routine—feeding them on time, cleaning their spaces, giving them playtime, exercise, and lots of attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved every day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, maintain their pet’s usual routine, and keep the environment clean and calm. Whether at home or in a client’s home, I focus on giving each pet the same patience, care, and respect I give my own.
About: I understand that every pup has their own personality, and I enjoy giving them the love, patience, and attention they deserve while you're away. Whether your little companion enjoys short walks to the park, cozy lap time, playtime, or simply a calm and caring presence, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and believe in providing reliable, loving care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m currently retired, so I have all of the time needed to be with your pup. My lifestyle is ideal for pet sitting since I will be with them nearly every minute you’re gone. I live in an apartment that has a dedicated potty space for dogs just a short elevator ride away. There’s a park across the street for short walks. I’ve had dogs for many years and our neighbors are all very dog friendly! They love to say hi as we go in and out to potty and walk.
“Best day care ever! My dog always has the best time and comes home happy and tired. She absolutely loves playing with the other dogs, and especially enjoys spending time with Lans—his favorite human after me ! Thank you for giving bella a safe, fun, and loving place to play!”
“Gino has been great with my one year-old husky, Pearl. She can be a handful, but he’s dedicated to working with her and it’s been wonderful. Pearl gets to see Gino every Wednesday and she loves going over there for daycare.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with a ragdoll cat, two mini schnauzer doggies, and regularly foster dogs. My 2 senior cats that I grew up with currently live with my mom. Every dog or puppy I foster and have in my home learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.
“Ricardo is Onyx’s favorite friend. They have three other dogs that are so well behaved and t they play with Onyx. They even play ball with him and even gave onyx’s favorite ball. He even plays with the ball at my home every day. I will recommend them so many times.”
“Migi had so much fun at Jesse and Scott’s place. They were able to accommodate a very last minute booking for doggy daycare which was awesome! He came back home extremely tired and exhausted so I know he had a blast bc he’s a very energetic hyper dog usually, and they sent me several updates with pics and videos of him having fun in their big backyard. Will def book again in the future!”

About: I've grown up with an array of animals and never stray from hard or dirty jobs. I am well versed in large and powerful dogs as they are all I have had growing up but that absolutely doesn't mean I won't take on the smaller ones. I have experience in home visits, walking, bathing, and ear cleaning to ensure your pet gets all the care they need! As of right now my schedule is wide open but eventually I will be needing to move to evening care. I will absolutely update and communicate when these needs change I want your pet to be the most comfortable they can be with me. If they need to be crated or need their own space I will be happy to oblige.

“This is my first time using Rover, and am blown away! Susan took the time for a meet and greet prior to our first booking. Than when we did use her we LOVED how we got all the details on her visit with our pups. Definitely will be using her regularly.”
About: I’ve not only had my own pets throughout my entire life, but have cared for the pets of those around me on multiple occasions, whether it be dog walking for neighbors, or pet sitting for vacations. I work from home and am typically available all day to care for your pets. I am flexible and can come check on your pets when needed as well. When checking in on your pets in your home I will spend quality time with them, while also checking their food and water supply and making sure their living situation is up to standard. When caring for pets in my home, I will treat them as my own.
About: I have watched dogs and walked dogs for family friends since I was about 14-15 and have always taken great care of them, making sure they also get to play with me or interact with me before I leave the home. I do competitive horseback riding and have learned how to treat an animal right and take care of one through this. I have watched my grandma's older dog that needs medication 3-4 times a day and I have made sure she's gotten her meds on time every single time. It's the most important thing to me to make sure the animals are happy and content even when their owners aren't home. I work full time, my schedule is monday-friday 9am-6pm with a hour lunch. I am able to do drop ins or walks mid day on my lunch depending on the distance. Since I have experience with horses and farm dogs I feel that I’m great with control when walking, I also enjoy just hanging out with pets even if it’s while watching a movie

“Alyssa jumped in while Dane was out of town and made Lobster’s stay feel like a mini vacation. Lobster came along with his buddy Ren and they were straight into dog park adventures, backyard playtime, and running around with Lady (their adora-pup) like old friends. Between hanging out with Alyssa and her two daughters and all the fun outside, the dogs were clearly living their best lives. The steady stream of happy photos made it obvious they were having a blast and being so well cared for. We live 35 mins away from Dane and Alyssa, and the distance didn't bother us because we know our pup will be in good hands. We will book again and again!”
“Our high energy lab SAL knows a dog lover when she sees one! We get to Irey’s house and I’m dragged up the stairs to the front door. Needless to say I worry not when our dog is there. A clean loving environment where happy dogs abound! Great communication as well.”
“Kristin was very accommodating towards Milo who is a reactive dog! I appreciate her thoroughness in our meet and greet and she did a great job taking care of Milo while we were on our trip. I had no worries while we were away. Will def book again!!”
“Very nice couple. We booked them for a short stay and they took care good of ours boys, very flexible for drop off and pick up time, also always send pictures and updates! Thank you again”
“Sara went above and beyond during this holiday weekend. They picked up our dog and dropped him off safely. She always sends several updates and pictures of our pup so we know that he is happy. Our pup always comes home tired and well cared for. We will continue to use Sara for all our boarding needs. Thank you Sara!”
“Judith and her husband are lovely people! So kind and friendly, and our pup settled in super well with them pretty quickly. He seemed to have a great time, and Judith sent daily updates with photos. It's always nice to see your fur-kiddo relaxed and happy!”
“Dennis and Lynn were awesome dog sitters! My dog felt instantly comfortable with them even though he tends to be anxious in new environments. We got a daily photo or video which really helped me feel at ease knowing how much fun my dog was having. I highly recommend Dennis and Lynn and will definitely be booking them again for future needs!”
“Jessi was amazing! She was very understanding and flexible when I messed up the drop off time and sent daily updates! I would definitely recommend using her for your fur babies! Finn came back so happy and tired from all the playing!”
“Brandon went above and beyond as a sitter for my pup. He was extremely communicative about how my pup was doing during his stay. Bz (my pup) made fast friends with Loona and got along great with the other pups in a house as well. Bz got his nails rounded, only after checking in with me, he even got a bath with the other pup. I will definitely be returning to Brandon when I am looking for a sitter to watch Bz. If you are looking for someone to truly care and love you dog while you are away I cannot recommend Brandon enough.”
“I was gone over a week and Xiaotong sent me pictures everyday, couple times a day. She responds right away and was very caring about my dog. And her dogs are very calm and friendly. I will definitely use her service again.”
“Priscilla was nothing short of amazing from the moment I inquired about her availability to watch our pups to the time of pickup. We have 2 wild dogs who are used to our farm to run around. Priscilla’s home had ample amount of space for the dogs to run and enjoy themselves outside in a nice gated area. She sent numerous photos every day which was a great way to keep my mind at ease. Leaving your dogs anywhere for over 8 days while traveling abroad can be nerve wracking, but she did such an amazing job that I quickly booked her for our next vacation. So excited to keep bringing the pups back to her and knowing they are in great hands! I would highly recommend Priscilla for anyone looking for someone to take special care of your dogs while you are away 😊”
“I had a last minute weekend getaway and needed a sitter for my extra energetic fur baby, Teddy. So glad I stumbled upon Marla’s page. Marla is quick to respond, and is very thorough as to make sure that Teddy will have a wonderful stay at her home. The pictures she sent me every day (with her own fur babies) were adorable and kept my apprehension at bay. I knew Teddy was in good hands. I most definitely would utilize Marla’s services if needed again. And i recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a sitter that will truly take care of your fur babies.”
“So nice that Katie and family have welcomed Aki into their pack. I know they really love Aki and it shows. Aki also loves having Blue as a play friend. This was our second time dropping Aki off for boarding. She's always excited to be there.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Jen. She was welcoming and loving to my pup from the first meeting. It was hard on my big energetic dog for me to be gone but being with someone who understands dogs that can’t go to a traditional daycare and isn’t scare of him was a relief. My dog and I both appreciated it!”
“Excellent care giver for your pup! Samantha makes leaving your pet as easy as possible. We are definitely nervous pet parents of an old man of a dog, with some special needs. Samantha expertly provides all his cares and provides frequent pics and updates. I know our pup gets all the snuggles and love (so much so we had to coax him to come home with us). Thank you again.”
