“Kaitlin and her husband Nathan took excellent care of my little dog Molly. This is the first time I left her alone with someone else, for over a couple weeks. They helped Molly transition from having a minor separation anxiety, to become fully comfortable by the end of the stay. They cared for her like their own dog. Kaitlin sent photo updates every few days. I recommend Kaitlin, and would book with her again!”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”

They truly go above and beyond, and we will absolutely continue booking with them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters!”
“Andrea is truly the best dog sitter ever. This was the third time she’s watched Annabell, and it was obvious the moment I dropped her off that she felt completely at home—she ran straight up the stairs and made herself cozy on the couch. We were away for about a week, and not once did I feel anxious because I knew Annabell was in such good hands. I really appreciate the daily updates, photos, and videos. They made our trip so much easier. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle and Samuel are the absolute best! My dog pit mix, Lazarus had the best time with their personal dog, which are BFF now!

Absolutely going to recommend Michelle and Samuel to friends and family, if they need a dog sitter. Don’t Think It Gets Better!! ??”
“Jennifer was such a great host for my doggies. She made my first time with rover worth while and would love to book with her again for any vacations. She’s very experienced and knowledgeable of labs (I’m sure all other dogs). Since my dogs are young they could be a handful and with her experience she was able to do some training during their stay. I highly recommend her to first time rover users or just anyone looking for a skilled host with great professionalism and communication skills.”
“Kelly is amazing! She is so sweet and welcoming. She took such great care of my little guy. She made sure to give daily updates with pictures on how he was adjusting to her home. I would 100% recommend Kelly to anyone looking for dog sitting services.”

“Gabrielle's the best! Dropped in to hang out with my aging cat, and he looked healthier when we got back than when we left! (Seriously, I don't know what she did, but his fur was smoother and his cat acne was gone...). Highly recommend Gabrielle and I will book with her again if she's able!”

“We were visiting town and needed care on short notice. Kate and her team not only came through we managed to find the best care in the city! Can’t recommend her high enough!”
About: Coming from Texas I have grown up caregiving for animals with different needs since I can remember. I have experience in training puppies. Additionally, I have a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs, providing them with the gentle care and attention they require. Also have experience with very high energy animals. My services are personalized to each pet’s individual needs, and I pride myself on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for all animals under my care. My commitment to constant communication with pet owners ensures peace of mind while you are away. *Can provide pick up and drop off services* I work from home throughout the week where care will take place. I only offer boarding for pets who are okay with a dog as I like to always make sure I am around caring for my dog. I currently care for my dog who absolutely haves loving any kind of animal friend around for company. I am able to provide constant updates and consistent breaks. If requested I also love to take the dogs to local fenced in private sniff spots to run and play. I have an unfenced yard outside and will take your dog out on the leash as I do with my own. I maintain a very clean sanitary environment and provide treats, pets, and toys. I closely monitor throughout visits. I establish a consistent routine for potty breaks and exercise. If I do step away I ensure my dog is kenneled for extra safety and would prefer if you do have a kennel for your pet but is also okay if you do not as long as safety is not a concern for you or they are use to being out when alone.
“Mollie is such an excellent communicator and really makes you feel safe and comfortable leaving your fur baby. I'm so thankful to have found someone so genuine who cares for my pet like their own!”
“Mandy and Gregory were absolutely amazing!! They sent tons of pictures and gave lots of updates. Zora had the best time and slept hard the whole ride home. Thank you SO much for fitting us in today, I truly appreciate it and hope to see you again in the future. 😊”
“Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!”
“Matt is awesome! Great communication before our dog Marco’s stay and we absolutely loved following along with the dog pack via Matt’s Instagram! Marco can’t wait to come back, thanks so much!”
“Dylan was very responsive and clearly cares for the pups in his care. He watched over our young puppy and shared lots of updates and photos to assure us throughout the day!”
“Ethan is amazing and his daycare/boarding area is clean and cozy. He has been so patient and sweet with our shy dog and helped her come out of her shell. We will definitely be brining her back regularly. High recommend!!”
“Priscilla went above and beyond for caring for my pup, she picked her up and also aided in dropping her off, I will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Brittany has been absolutely amazing with Taz! He always comes home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for, which gives us so much peace of mind. On top of being so great with him, Brittany has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which we appreciate more than she knows. We’re so thankful to have found someone we trust with Taz and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Paul accepted my last minute booking request. I had to adjust my drop off/pick up times & he was flexible with that. My dog Eddie can have a bit of anxiety when he isn't with his family. When he was picked up he was very relaxed & happy; so I know he was well taken care of. I will definitely use Paul again.”
“Rose has watched our 2 dogs on a few occasions and they seem to do so great with her. One of our dogs can definitely be anxious with new places but Rose seems to go above and beyond to help him settle in and from the pictures she sends, he seems to really enjoy being there. Will definitely continue to take our dogs to Rose anytime we are in need of a dog sitter!”
“Eileen was great she kept me informed throughout the whole time my dog stayed with her and took care and pride in taking care of dog she even played soothing music that helped put her to sleep I would recommend her to anyone”
“Jennifer was awesome! She accommodated a last minute request to watch our dog for a few hours in the evening and it helped us out so much. She was kind and let our dog play with hers in her large yard. She also took great photos and was communicative and prompt. Highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! My name is Ash and I'm a high energy animal lover! I've had pets my entire life, so I have a lot of experience caring for and loving them all. I love to be outdoors and having a fun little companion to run along with me makes it more enjoyable! There's great parks nearby for the dogs to run around. Your pets are apart of your family and I'll treat them with the same amount of love and devotion. All animals are welcome in my home with some restrictions. I'm open to questions and if you decide to book, calling would be the best way to reach me. Book me for your pet needs and I'm confident I can provide comfort for both you and your fur babes while you vacation or hustle! Work from home and make my own schedule. So many walks and outside time, I get distracted easily. The animals keep me sane and productive in between breaks with them. Please help me. I need more animals in my life. Parks nearby and we love to walk the neighborhood. There's a lot of friendly pet owners in my building and area that I socialize with regularly. I've even wrangled a few of their escape artists.

If I do have something coming up thst week it will reflect in my calendar In addition to my dog, I've had many sizes of family dogs growing up. I can handle most all sizes and energy levels.

“Met Elizabeth for a meet and greet for more frequent walks while I’m at work. She was super punctual and sweet with my little Koda. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she could provide Koda with the best walk possible. I look forward to working more with her!”

“Nathan was great with our dogs and accommodated a late request for dog coverage without a proper introduction. He communicated leading up to and during visits, giving updates when our oldest dog was a bit off after recovering. Super appreciative and our old man pups were well taken care!”
“Alyssa was great! She was able to accommodate my needs last minute. She was very friendly and my pup loved her. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a walker/sitter!”

About: I have owned or cared for dogs my entire life, with the occasional rodent or scaled creature thrown in. Hopefully not at the same time. I’m comfortable with basic wound cleaning as well as administering medication. After a period working in a pet store I’m also more skilled in ear cleaning, breathing treatments, and temperature taking than I’d care to be. Work situation changed so I’m more open to daytime walks and drop ins. I also keep a weird sleep schedule so if you need a late night drop in or walk, hit me up. Update: I did recently get a dog. He’s a young doodle and prefers to chew on my hair and hands more than toys, but gets along well with other dogs. He sure everyone wants to be his friend. He is young, potty trained and a great playmate. So right now the only way I’m able to sit is if your dog would like new bestie. I am unable to care for pets in my home. I live with my niece and her cat can be a little…stabby, for lack of a better word. In your home, I’ll be following your lead. I do tend to go outside with dogs at night, even with fenced yards. I am always wary of bobcats and coyotes looking for water and snacks. I’m also perfectly comfortable with a pile of animals sleeping in bed with me so if that’s what your animals prefer, I’m here for it.
“Adam is fantastic! He is always super responsive and gives great updates! He is the first experience I've had with Rover, and though I was nervous to trust someone with my little guy, Adam exceeded all my expectations! I know my dog Jean Luc is in great hands, and I don't ever want to get anyone else to take care of him. Thank you so much, Adam!”
“Shania has been really, really amazing with Milton and his struggles with PTSD and anxiety. She is patient, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. Shania took the time to build trust and make Milt feel safe. Her care has made a really big difference, and we just can’t recommend her enough.”
“Rachel was great with my pup's walk! Also was super about communicating with me when we had to troubleshoot my front door lock. Happy to rebook and recommend to anyone!”
“Bailiegh is absolutely incredible. She understands Convoy's needs and makes sure they are met every time. She communicates appropriately and is well spoken. She sends video and pictures every walk and Convoy is always happy, vocal and worn out. Bailiegh is a Rover dream and looking forward to continuing having her being a positive figure in Convoy's life.”
About: Since I was a baby I had a white Lab named Cooper. Best friends have always had dogs. 3 years ago me and my mom took care of two little Labradors. I don’t currently have them anymore due to health reasons my mom was facing but would love to spend as most time as possible with animals, especially dogs. I house sitted three dogs for a week, enjoyed every minute with it. Sprinting in a field with a dog is one of the most freeing experiences everyone needs to live. I am currently unemployed trying to find work before a trip in early July, Able to help anytime during the week, nite, etc. I have a very flexible schedule I can adjust so I’m able to spend lots of time with your pet. I mainly go to the gym, and go out with friends at nighttime. I’ll show your dog around 9th and 9th. Open to driving anywhere. Would love to take your dog on a hike! Will take your dog paddleboarding, the dog park, stores.
About: I am a dog mom, and a very passionate dog-sitter. I currently work from home, so your dog will have all the attention and care that they need! Your trust and the safety/needs of your pet are my #1 priority! First time booking on Rover? Get $20 off!! Just let me know, and I'll provide you my personal code when you book with me :) This is a very welcoming and dog loving home! 😊 I will give you updates of your dog while you are away 💕 We have a small extra bed that is provided (but you may bring your dog's own bed!) We also provide dog waste bags. I am currently working from home. I will be very-hands on with your dog and will make sure your dog gets all the attention and love that they need 😊 The place is pet friendly and peaceful. This is where your pet can relax and have a stress free dogcation while you are away. I offer at least 1 picture/video and a message sharing how your pet is doing. I only accept small dogs for now.
About: I’ve taken care of all varieties of animals. I have experience with special needs pets, blind, deaf, diabetic, incontinence, seniors, etc. I love senior pets, they hold a special place in my heart. I have fostered for the humane society for a long time. I’m available part time, on my days off to give your pets the love, care and attention they deserve! I’m a busy beaver, but never too busy to give a little extra love! I have 4 cats and a dog. My cats all love to keep friends company. I have a fully fenced yard, a kennel outside and a crate inside just in case. Plenty of toys and activities to keep your friend occupied.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, growing up with them and continuing to care for dogs for friends and others over the years. I’m also the proud owner of an 8-year-old Newfoundland/Collie mix, so I’m very comfortable with larger dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of affection. However, I also grew up with dachshunds and love the little ones just the same. One of my strengths is reading a dog’s personality and responding to what they need. I’m naturally affectionate with friendly, social dogs, but I’m equally comfortable giving shy or timid dogs the space and time they need to feel safe. I never want to force an interaction—I’d rather let a dog build trust at their own pace. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. Communication is also very important to me. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates when someone else is caring for your pet, so owners can expect me to be responsive and keep them informed. For dogs staying with me, I have a fenced backyard and live in a very walkable neighborhood, making it easy to provide outdoor time, exercise, and walks throughout the day. My pup, Drogo, is very kind and loves other dogs and he's especially gentle with the little ones. He can be a little grumpy with puppies, so that is a case-by-case basis (and I would encourage a meet and greet beforehand). Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether your dog wants walks and playtime, lots of pets, or simply a calm person nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make them feel comfortable. I have a very open and flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a natural part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in around other commitments. Your dogs will be my priority. My flexibility also allows me to be responsive to owners and accommodate changes when possible. I want both you and your dog to feel like they’re getting plenty of attention—not like they’re just another appointment on my calendar. Safety, trust, and making your dog feel comfortable are always my priorities. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and quirks, so I’ll take the time to learn what works best for yours rather than assuming every dog needs the same kind of care. For dogs staying in my home, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and live in a very walkable neighborhood for regular walks and exercise. My dog, Drogo, is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, but I think introductions are important. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone can get comfortable and we can make sure our dogs are a good fit—especially with puppies or dogs who may need a little more time to adjust. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both your space and your dog’s established routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding meals, walks, medications or special care instructions, doors and gates, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to a dog’s body language. Some dogs want to be best friends immediately, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable with someone new. I’m happy to let them set the pace. And of course, communication is a big priority for me. I’ll be responsive and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while they’re in my care.
“Jennifer was such a great host for my doggies. She made my first time with rover worth while and would love to book with her again for any vacations. She’s very experienced and knowledgeable of labs (I’m sure all other dogs). Since my dogs are young they could be a handful and with her experience she was able to do some training during their stay. I highly recommend her to first time rover users or just anyone looking for a skilled host with great professionalism and communication skills.”
“Gisella always takes great care of my bulldog Walter. He loves going there and getting to play with Gisella’s dog Brownie. Gisella is always communicative and flexible, would 100% recommend.”
“Duke and I are so glad we found Kayle! We have booked two stays with her, one being an 11 day stay (with a 3rd one coming up soon!) and she has been nothing short of amazing. She is very attentive to Duke and has treated him like her own since the first night. She is very flexible which is a bonus for me as I am active duty military (100% recommend). We have definitely found our Washington sitter in Kayle and will continue to book with her for as long as she will have us!! You can feel very comfortable and confident in Kayle’s ability to care for your pet. She keeps open communication through the entire stay and gives your fur baby lots of love while you’re away!! ❤️❤️ 🐶”
“I was able to board my dog Tex at Leslie’s on short notice and it turned out to be a great fit. Her dog Bruce is very well trained and got along great with my dog, who’s more interested in human friends than other dogs. She was able to administer his medication with no issues and kept the pups happy and active. She’s reliable, communicative, and took great care of Tex. I will definitely board my dog with her again! :)”
