“Mary's daughter, Sydney, stayed with our elderly dog and cats while we were on vacation. Both Mary and Sydney responded in a timely manner and everything seemed to go well :-)”

“Jennifer is a great communicator! I felt such at ease leaving my dog in her care. He was a happy boy when I picked him up and I loved the photos I received when she took him on walks. Would recommend her to anyone!”

“Oh my goodness Claire, Jason and family were just the best! Tess (our golden retriever) got to go on hikes, get hugs and snuggles and play! Thank you so much for her excellent care!”

“Emily & Eric were both friendly and very understanding to my dog’s personality and needs. They took great care of Zuri! I would have them care for Zuri again! THANK YOU.”

“This is the second time our pup has stayed with Amy and her family and it was just as good as the first time! We love the updates and the pictures she sends. Amy is so kind and empathetic, we are so thankful for the thoughtful care she provides our pup!”


“Moira is absolutely amazing—my dog Teddy compeltely ADORED her! She has a natural gift with dogs and made my anxious pup feel totally at ease (which is no small feat). She’s also a CHAMPION communicator, sending quick replies and the cutest updates that kept me smiling. Bonus: she’s not only affordable, but super flexible too, which made everything so easy. I swear my dog didn’t want to come back home… and honestly, I don’t blame him! Highly recommend 🐾✨”

“Finn stayed with Carolyn for two weeks. He had such a good time that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home with me. From playing fetch outside to playing with a variety of squeaky toys, to tons of snuggles and attention, Carolyn did it all! She was in contact daily with pics and videos. I never worried for a second about how Finn was doing. She responded quickly to text messages and was a great communicator. I told her that she could spoil Finn all she wanted, and she did! But that's exactly what I want for my best buddy when I have to leave him! Thanks, Carolyn, for taking such great care of Finn! He'll be back!”

“Brianna was incredible and Edwin had a blast. We were initially a little worried because of her fairly large (although playful and VERY friendly dogs), but our tiny senior settled right in like it was home.”

“Melissa is great with dogs! I could tell my dog trusted her right away and was wagging her tail as I left. Melissa kept me up to date and was really helpful in modifying the stay when my schedule changed. You can tell Melissa cares about dogs and makes sure they are well cared for.”

“Linda and Bob were able to care for our sweet pup on short notice. As mentioned before, dogs are kept in personal enclosure in separate garage/office. It is extremely clean and they take dogs out often to personal play yard. Our dog looked happy and was clearly enjoying himself in every picture we received. We will definitely use Linda and Bob again!”

“Kathy took such wonderful care of our puppy and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our boy came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for! Kathy was also great with communication and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. 10/10 recommend!”

“This was the second time ysong Rover. Our first was god awful. I was hesitant but Haleigh was reassuring that she was going to take great care of my pooch! All the photos proved it along with the pitty smile Red Dog had when I picked him up! He was walking and loving life before he even noticed I was there to get him. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

“Our Mango was so happy at her place. Kristin was insightful with ways to help us with cutting our dogs claws and brushing teeth. We look forward to having Mango stay again.”

“Luba was so wonderful in her care for our sweet Scout. She gave her so much love, cuddles and made her feel like a part of their family while we were away! We will happily ask her to care for Scout again in the future. Could not recommend enough!!”

“Colleen was great! Very accommodating with scheduling, sent updates during the stay, and my guy looked like he had a great time when I picked him up. Highly recommended!”

“Allison and her husband are so freaking AWESOME! Yenn had a blast with her and their two dogs. I received daily pictures and updates, and it's obvious these are people who love dogs. Yenn was thoroughly tired but happy upon her return. Allison is great with communication and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Lisa sent us pictures and updates while she cared for our pups which was really comforting . One of our dogs is very old and we were a little concerned about him. But he did great. Lisa clearly took good care of both of them as they were happy and healthy when I picked them up.She didn't bat an eye when I brought over special food. We will always call on Lisa when we go out of town!”

“Our pup had a wonderful stay! Lajetta sent tons of pictures of our dog while we were away and was super responsive to texts. We will definitely try and book her again in the future!”

“Jennifer was great with my cats and very easy to talk to before and during the visit! She was comfortable with giving medications to my medical needy cat and keeping a close eye on her to make sure everything was going alright. Would definitely book her to cat sit again!”


“Nancy went above and beyond to care for our boys while we were away. She earned their trust and ours and we would highly recommend her! Thank you for everything, Nancy! ??⬛?⬛”


“Thank you so much for the care for our senior cats, our chickens, rabbits, and home. Our home was so well cared for and clean, and thanks again for the delicious treat you left us! I would definitely recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”

“Jocelyn did such an amazing job looking after our cats! She was very accommodating and responsive. When our power went out, she called and troubleshot it with me. Really appreciate her and all she did for our cats!”

“Emma did a great job with our pets. Our two dogs have some special needs and Emma did a great job accommodating us! Rocket needs to be carried and Quill needs a little patience as he’s slow with his commands (He’s a nervous guy). She demonstrated care, attentiveness, and was prompt. As a bonus she gave out cats some love while I was out. I’ll gladly trust my pets to her again. Thanks Emma!”

“Stacy did a great job taking care of our cat, Artemis. She provided many photos of him and we could tell he was being well taken care of - even when we came back, I think he missed her! We will definitely rebook if we need a cat sitter again.”

“I cannot recommend Krystal enough! She’s thoughtful, knowledgeable, and always goes above and beyond. We are so lucky to have found her and will book with her every chance we get! If you’re worried about choosing the right Rover for you and your fur babies, look no further and book Krystal! You’ll have peace of mind throughout your travels and receive wonderful updates along the way.”

“This was our first time using Rover and meeting Brie. She came over the day before and we did a meet & greet and she was wonderful with our 4 kitties. We have one that's super shy and she even came out to meet Brie. I felt completely comfortable leaving them for the day and Brie doing a drop-in visit to feed them. She provided pictures and great communication. Will definitely use her services again.”

“Molly was so great again for a second time watching my cat. I appreciate her care and attention, making sure my cat ate and had playtime while I was away. Having Molly as our cat sitter gives me such peace of mind while traveling for work and seeing her updates are highlights of my day while away.”


“Autumn was a great caretaker for our critters! She was very detailed in her updates and we felt comfortable leaving our pets in her care. We will definitely book with her again!”


“My cats are very shy so I don’t think she got a chance to meet them which is fine. I am used to that. The main concern is that they are fed watered in our visited Daily. She did an excellent job. Communication was great. I will definitely use her again.”


“Brooklyn did a great job taking care of my kitty when I had to go out of town on short notice. She was wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and communication skills are top notch. My shy cat quickly warmed up to her after a few visits. This shows that Brooklyn is great with animals, as my pet is very selective about who she trusts. I look forward to booking with Brooklyn again and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”


“I am very glad we booked Tanaisa to check in on our cats while we were out of town. She was dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can tell she is an animal lover based in the feedback and photos she provided me with daily. We will absolutely book with her again next time we need help with our pets.”


About: I am 31 years old, pretty active. Dogs around me usually get what they want. I spoil them more than i spoil myself. They are family so I will treat them like family. I am a stay at home mom & I lam easy to get a hold of. If you want pictures everyday, i will provide you pictures everyday. I love hikes and going for walks. Let me know your needs and I will follow your rules. All I ask is that I meet you & your dog beforehand so we can make sure that your dog is okay with me & won’t think I’m a stranger just walking in the house. I am a huge animal lover! Can’t wait to meet you and the pup/pups! I have two dogs of my own that I adore! I’ve had them both since they were pups. They are my first kiddos. I take care of them daily. I follow all rules that are given to me. If they love all the pets then I will love them with all I got. If they love fetch, then I’ll throw the ball until they get tired.

“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”

“I can tell that my dog enjoyed his day with Tanaisa and her dog Loki. He walked right into the gate when I dropped him off for his second day. He got plenty of walks and socialization. I will definitely book with her again, even though it’s a total of 40 minutes detour for me, it’s worth it because Tanaisa took great care of Dante.”

“Tashi is doing well! Looks forward to going to doggie daycare with Brianna. Today, he tried to sneak out to the car when I left! He loves being around the kids and other dogs. Thank you for taking great care of him!”

“Mark is so great! My dog has severe anxiety and separation anxiety, so I'm always worried about having people watch her since I know the type can very difficult for people to handle. I explained my dogs issues with Mark and did a meet and greet, he was very friendly and more than happy to accommodate my sweet dog. Apparently she did very well and they went on some great walkies. :)”

“She was so awesome! We didn’t worry about our dog at all while she was watching him. She sent lots of pictures and I could see he was having a great time! We will definitely book again when we are in the area and we would recommend! Thank you so much Maryorie! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Can I give 6 stars??? Dominique takes such great care of my Beagle while I'm in the office. He loves her so much he starts whining to be let out when we pull in the driveway. 😂 She sends photos and updates throughout the day, is very flexible on his care needs. I think the most important thing is that I can focus on priorities during the day and not worry over Watson's happiness and safety. I know he's having fun playing with Poppy and friends!”


“Moira took excellent care of my dog! She made sure he had time to adjust, and gave him plenty of attention. Her communication was exceptional as well, and she sent plenty of updates. She's definitely passionate about animals, and will do everything she can to ensure your pet is well cared for!”

“Araceli was so great with Rocky… she kept me posted on how he was doing and sent me the cutest video and pic of my lil guy… it is so great to be able to be at work and not have to worry about how Rocky is doing. I would highly recommend Araceli for watching your furry baby. Araceli thank you for putting my worries at ease…”

“Devin was great with my puppy. Found out that my pup has a little bit of separation anxiety, but Devin managed to keep her distracted with walks and play time. Very happy with our experience. Will definitely use her again!”

“Elaine is pure gold. My doggo, who has massive separation anxiety, is thrilled when we roll up to her door. That would. W enough for a 5* rating! And then, she’s also super flexible with scheduling and timing! Win win win. TLDR; Elaine rocks, trust her with yer pup!”

“Frank enjoys spending his time with Don (and Hunter) very much. He gets excited when we pull up to the house, because he knows he's in for a day of fun and VIP treatment. I highly recommend Don and Melodie for both Daycare and Boarding.”

About: My husband and I are life-long dog owners and dog lovers. We have an active lifestyle and can give your dog lots of attention and activity. I work part time from home and my husband works from home, so at least one of us is always here for potty breaks and mid-day walks and playtime. I love to run during the week and hike on weekends and would be happy to bring your dog along. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space in our home. Our 2 year old Weimaraner is extremely friendly and playful. We also have two daughters that adore dogs and will give lots of pets and cuddles.

“Our girls had a fun time on their walk! Tanaisa is friendly and clearly great with dogs — all smiles on their Rover report card/picture! Clear communication with updates made coordinating their walk easy. Literally going right back on to rebook more walks!!!”

“Kelsey is fantastic! Kelsey has been walking our dog on a regular basis for the past four months. She is responsive and has even been willing to walk my dog at the last minute. She always sends cute pictures of my dog which puts a smile on my face while I am at work. She has watched our dog when we were out of town for four days. I highly recommend Kelsey and will continue to have her as a friend to our dog. ”

“Jocelyn was absolutely amazing with Duchess. This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous. Jocelyn was good with Duchess and walked me through the process to help ease my anxiety. 10 out of 10 recommend her anytime!”

“Thank you Chelsea for being so great and loving with my weens. They already love walking with you. What a savage you are juggling three dogs while simultaneously pushing through a torrential downpour of rain. You are amazing!”


About: I’ve had two cats for a few years now, and I’ve been cat sitting and dog sitting for friends for a couple of years. I absolutely love dogs and cats and I love spending time with them. I’ve had some experience with older cats. I also have a lot of experience with cats who try to escape. I’ll make sure your indoor kitties stay inside and are well cared for. I love taking dogs on walks, and jogs if they like that, and adventures so they can sniff and explore and lead the way! I work from my laptop, so I’m pretty flexible about when and where I can pet sit or dog walk. I have a lot of weekends free to stay at people’s homes. I can make sure that your pets are well cared for. I’ll make sure to follow their feeding schedule and walk and play with them. I’m very flexible about pets’ needs and I’m really good at following instructions.
“Lyla was awesome and was able to book on short notice! I am recovering from surgery and needed someone to give my dogs some exercise and she was just the right fit. Will definitely be booking again!!”

“Krystal was very caring and took care of our 6 our old maltipoo Ivy's anxiety with ease. Ivy came. home happy after finishing the walks. Krystal is really an expert and she will be our go to person next time we need someone to care for Ivy.”

“Our doggie loves his walks with Sarah! He recognizes her car, and actually watches for her when he thinks the time is right. She's punctual and friendly, and an obvious dog lover.”

About: I've loved all sorts of animals since I can remember. I was the girl who brought stray dogs and cats home to be loved and cared for. I currently have a senior chihuahua and a orange cat called Keiko. I've always had dogs and cats while raising my kids, big and small. At this time, I am not working outside of the home. I would like to make petsitting, dog walking, animal care, my fulltime job. I volunteer once a week for two hours for furry friends. I also dog walk for one senior who has two dachschunds. I have a fenced yard. I make sure they always have water and excercise. I try to be as attentive to their needs as possible.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on creating a calm, safe environment. I’m patient, attentive to routines, and comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need extra reassurance. I communicate clearly with owners and make sure pets get plenty of love, exercise, and consistency while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins so each pet gets consistent attention. I’m reliable with routines and enjoy making pets a regular, important part of my day. I provide a safe, loving environment whether I’m in your home or mine. Pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and rest according to their routines. I follow any instructions carefully, keep spaces clean, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“Michaela is reliable and communicates so well. We have a high anxiety dog who is usually very nervous around new people and our dog has loved her since the very moment he met her.”

About: Animals get me. I have a deep love for animals of all kinds. Large breed dogs are kind of my specialty but I love any and all! Cats, dogs, fish, or birds. I just moved here last week from NE FL. I am a nurse full-time but waiting on license transfer, I have a vehicle and no other obligations. I have full availability to be able to accommodate most all needs. I will follow and respect any and all requests. I’m very easy going and can work around whatever your needs are. I get we all have a certain way of doing things, especially with our fur babies!
“Alura was available for me in a pinch and was flexible and kind while we sorted out the weekly walk schedule. She followed the instructions I left without any issues. We, including our beloved Darwin, are so grateful for the love. Highly recommend her service!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who understands that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I take that seriously. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since my teens, with experience across small and large breeds, senior dogs, and pets who require medication. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with more complex needs, including epilepsy, and I prioritize calm, attentive handling to keep them safe and supported. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on structured, engaging care that helps them feel balanced and happy while you’re away, whether its walks tailored to their energy level, mental enrichment and engagement during visits, consistent routines to support behavior, or lots of affection and attention. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to include longer walks, hikes, or more engaging outings if that’s something your dog enjoys. I can also do dog park visits if requested. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. I can also send regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease. I treat every pet like my own (I have 3 dogs!), with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’d love to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for you and your pet! *Starting June 2026, I will not be taking any clients who need me to sleep overnight at their home. I am able to house sit any time during the day and stay with your pet as long or as little as needed, however, if you need me more than one day at a time, I will leave your place at night and return in the morning.* I work from home, so I am willing and able to give your pet the attention it needs. I am used to taking care of pets so the routine comes easy for me. My work schedule is fairly flexible as well, making it easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule you may need for your pet. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent experience for every pet. In your home, I follow all care instructions closely, so your pet stays comfortable and on their normal schedule. I stay aware on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and adjust care based on your dog’s energy level, temperament, and any medical needs. I also keep your home clean and secure so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

We will definitely look you up again if we ever need another dog sitter!”

“Steve is GREAT! Murphy was welcomed into the pack and played hard and was safe. Murphy can have some anxiety in new siuations and with new humans and pets. Steve allowed Murphy to adjust comfortably in his home with patience and love. My Muffin Man came home tired and happy! I'm so thankful and grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for Murphy for when I need to get away and 'Adult'. Thank you, Steve! I appreciate you more than you know! Murphy Hug to you,”

“Chom Chom had a wonderful stay with Heath & Amy! They made sure he had plenty of time outside and lots of snuggles. Chom got a lot well with all the other pups and had a great time!”

“We were very impressed with Karilla’s care for Rosie. It was an easy transition during drop off and pickup, and Karilla provided daily updates to make us feel assured that Rosie was doing well. As first-time Rover users, we were satisfied with the level of service we received and would wholeheartedly recommend Karilla to anyone.”
“Debbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friend—her sweet black lab, Sammy—which made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Can’t recommend her enough!”
