“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Julie and Cyrus bonded instantly. Her attention to his personality and behavior made for a wonderful weekend. I will absolutely book Cyrus with Julie again!”
“Alisha took good care of our dog. He played with her dogs and kids. Gave him a bone chew and was kind to give him a bed since we forgot his. Will use her again for our dog!”
“This was Shadow's second stay with Jenn and he was so excited upon arrival I don't think he noticed when I left. I got plenty of pictures and updates and Shadow look like he's having a great time. I highly recommend Jenn.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Zoey had a great time with Kevin and Kandice. Kevin shared regular updates with pictures and managed her needs as per our instructions. Zoey will be happy to spend time with them again.”
“We decided to do a trial run since this would be the first time the pups were away and I didn't know how they would reacted. Karen was very nice and understanding to the situation. During the meet and greet, she interacted with them and was very informative. I appreciated the updates and pictures she sent while they were with her.”
“Maria is a superb sitter! She took excellent care of my little Tanner. She adheres to a daily routine including feeding and walking, is super responsive with communication, and has a safe home. I felt very much at ease that Tanner was in good hands, was safe, had fun, and was well cared for. You can tell she loves what she does!”
“This is our third time with Rachael, and our dog gets so excited when she realizes where we are when I drop her off. Rachael is so communicative and puts us at ease with pictures videos and updates. We are so grateful we found her!”
“We're so happy Mimi has a comfortable place to stay with people who enjoy her company. She's a shy dog, so it's great that she was able to settle in cuddle with new people. Many thanks!”
“Debbi was great with Baby, and also offered to stitch up her jacket that had a small rip. Debbi and family were really sweet with Baby. Teddy is really adorable and made a good friend for Baby during her stay. Definitely recommend Debbi!”
“Jassem took really great care of my dog, who is fearful and has seperation anxiety, but still Jassem managed to make him at ease and was very caring and communicative. Would definitely recommend his services and he would definitely be my first choice next time i'm out of town.”
“Lorelei was absolutely fantastic! She watched our Jack Russell while my husband and I were away for a long weekend last minute, and I could not have been more comfortable leaving our girl in her care. Our dog suffers from separation anxiety, and during her stay with Lorelei she was not left alone even once. After bringing her home, she was so exhausted from a weekend of play that she slept for almost an entire day. Would definitely recommend her, and will be booking with her again!”
“Charmaine does an amazing job with my senior tripawd Coco. Coco is definitely a little picky and needs a little extra care, but is always happy after her stays!”
“Peter was great with our dog. He sent pictures each day and told us how everything was going. Our dog got along with his dogs. We will use him again when we need him to care for our dog.”

“Anna took incredible care of my cat while I was away. She was patient while he warmed up, hung out with him, and made sure he had food/water/clean litter box. So grateful to have found her!”
About: Cat parents know that cats needs are unique compared to other pets. I have plenty of experience from having cats of my own my whole life and working in vet med caring for cats of all kinds with all different needs in stressful situations. I will take the time to get to know your babies and take things at their pace building trust and making your kitty feels as safe as they can. I scoop litter boxes daily and keep food dishes clean. Depending on the cats comfort level and temperament I am able to trim nails, brush, administer medications (pill, transdermal, injectable), subcutaneous fluids, etc by myself. For me cats are always inside unless specifically told they go outside, catios are great!
“Mary checked on our two cats while we were out of town. She did great! We appreciated all her updates and pictures. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi! I’m Madison ☺️ I’ve been caring for pets for 8+ years through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for friends, family, and repeat clients. My boyfriend and I both work in travel healthcare, so caring for others (including animals) is naturally a huge part of who I am. My boyfriend Victor is listed on the account for the off chance he would need to do a visit for me. However, I plan to make every single visit I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable and worry-free while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family and get plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, walks, potty breaks, and love while in my care. I’m especially great with: • High-energy dogs • Pets that need extra attention or patience • Keeping routines consistent • Sending frequent photo/video updates ☺️ Because of my flexible schedule between travel contracts, I’m often able to give pets lots of one-on-one time and attention instead of leaving them alone for long hours. A little extra about me: • Non-smoker • Very clean/respectful in clients’ homes • Experienced with anxious/shy pets • Happy to accommodate special requests when possible I also offer walks/jogs for energetic dogs who need to burn off some extra energy 🐾 Feel free to message me with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your pets! Throughout the week my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. On the weekends I do work but still able to care for your pets as it’s a mid shift! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my routine and lifestyle 😊 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty routines, and any special requests. I also provide regular photo/video updates so you always know how your pet is doing ☺️

“Mary-Elizabeth was wonderful caretaker to my two kitties while I was traveling internationally. I had minimal telecommunications but she was quick to communicate and send updates. She was also very resourceful in figuring out who to contact to get into my apartment building when there was a key issue (not generated by her!) and I was unavailable because of travel. Would have been easy to leave my kitties unattended to that day but she persisted! I came home to very happy fur babies And will def hire her again :)”
About: I've taken care of animals all throughout my life, and have worked with and in shelters for the past 4 years. I have plenty of experience with a variety of breeds, and all ages from kittens through seniors. I have 2 of my own cats that are as sweet as can be and would love the chance to meet new friends, if you and your pet are up for it. Otherwise, I have a custom "cat city" room and an outdoor patio for fur friends to get plenty of privacy (with supervision of course!) if they need it. With a variety of experience in average, senior, and medicinal care, I'm happy to accommodate for you and your pet's needs, I look forward to caring for your fur babies!

“Nancy is terrific. She is wonderful with our dogs (they love her). She is reliable and provides us with peace of mind knowing our pups are on good hands.”
“Alyssa is amazing! I highly recommend. I just moved to Washington and was panicking about leaving my babies for a few days not knowing anyone. I found her profile on Rover and reached out because she looked like she would be amazing with animals. She sent me the cutest pictures and was so sweet with them! I have one cat who is scared of most people. She let Alyssa love all over her. I love knowing I have someone I trust to take care of my babies while I’m gone. I am so thankful for her!”
“Abby was a prompt communicator and very thorough in her photos! Loved how attentive she was with Ume and to our requests. Highly, highly recommended and we’d love to book her again!”

I spend a good amount of time volunteering at animal shelters providing enrichment to cats and dogs. In my personal life I've always had some type of animal around, currently I have on cat I take care of. I've had experiences working with pets in a veterinary clinic as well. I have a wide range of animal knowledge with domestic pets and wildlife such as bears! With my adverse experiences I can provide your pet with the upmost care!

“Wow! Cathleen is SO good! Mooch had a very successful first doggie day care and we will have him back. Cathleen is calm, loving and responsible. She is also very in tune with Mooch and his surroundings which contributed to his successful time away. Mooch is a Covid puppy with separation anxiety but you couldn’t tell with his time at Cathleen’s. She is a pro and a great choice ❤️”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“Brianna was great, ready for our arrival and Mila took to her just fine. I put a lot of stock into how my Pup greets someone, and it was very comfortable. I appreciate that the house was close to where I needed to be and the calendar was open. Thank you for taking care of my girl”
About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week. Currently I have an unfenced yard, I use retractable leashes to maintain safety when outside. Your fur-baby will get daily walks and plenty of love. I work from home 4 days a week, giving me the opportunity to give your pet plenty of attention in an adults only home with one dog for companion time. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, and they've always held a special place in my life. I had my beloved dog, Chico, for 16 wonderful years before we eventually lost him to old age and health issues. Although he was small, he had a HUGE personality and was basically my sidekick. He went just about everywhere with me: dog parks, camping, hiking, beach adventures, road trips, and yes, probably more dog-friendly pubs than the average dog. 😂 At the beach, his absolute favorite activity was sniffing every single piece of driftwood like it contained critically important information. And after all those adventures, he was happiest snuggled up next to me under approximately 47 blankets. Caring for Chico through every stage of his life, from an energetic young pup all the way through his senior years, gave me firsthand experience with how much a dog's needs can change over time and how much love, patience, and companionship they deserve along the way. Over the years, I've also become the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup's personality because, as any dog person knows, they ALL have one! After 16 years with Chico, our home definitely feels a little too quiet without a dog in it. Getting to welcome other people's pups into our lives and give them some of that love we've been missing is something my whole family really enjoys. So while you're away, there's a pretty good chance your dog will be getting spoiled with attention over here. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with the pups in my care! My main daily routine is getting my kids to and from the bus stop, which is close enough that we can easily walk when needed. I'm home throughout most of the day, so pets in my care won't be spending long stretches of time alone. I have plenty of flexibility for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins, and I'm excited to fill some of that extra time caring for new furry friends! Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first! In my home, pups are welcomed into our everyday family life and treated like one of our own. We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely get outside throughout the day. We currently don't have any pets of our own after losing our beloved dog, Chico, after 16 wonderful years together. We definitely miss having a pup around and love getting the chance to give our furry guests all that extra love and attention while they're here! I'll follow your dog's feeding, medication, potty, sleeping, and other care instructions as closely as possible. I also understand that some dogs settle in immediately while others need a little extra time and space to feel comfortable, and I'm happy to follow their lead. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I'd want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely and always make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. And of course, expect photo updates! I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Drake loved it here. Kristina was able to make this a pleasant experience. My dog has been attacked by bigger dogs before and while hesitant at first, her knowledge about properly handling aggressive dogs put me at ease.”
“My dog always got so excited when it was time to drop her off for daycare in the morning and was always tired in the evening when it was time for pickup! She always seemed to have a great time. Couldn't recommend enough!”
“Very thankful for the great care from Steven and Rachel! My puppy needed some extra attention after a recent surgery and they were so patient, accommodating and caring to my pup. Good communication and were flexible to my pups needs. Will book again!”
“Valerie was wonderful with Winnie and we were comfortable leaving her there knowing she was in good hands. It was Winnie’s first time away from home at 13 weeks and we were so glad she did well. Valerie was fantastic!”
“Rachael is the absolute best! Quick to respond and keep me updated on my doggo with pics. It’s my first time using Rover and she made the experience a great one. She came in as a lifesaver when i needed a super last min sitter. She took care of my Luna like it was her own. Super recommend ❤️”
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“Stacey was super easy to communicate with, responded quickly, sent great pictures of Laska to reassure us she was settling in well, and clearly did a great job caring for Laska for a few hours while we went on a little kayak tour!”
“Booked a few days prior to sitting, Robin was quick to respond. During the sitting, I was provided photos and updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Karl was a great host for our 6 month old puppy who needed lots of interaction with people. He worked with our schedule and made sure Albie felt at home from the moment he was dropped off to pick up. The whole family interacted with Albie, giving a balanced amount of play vs rest so I picked up a happy calm puppy.”
About: I have four years of experience working in a dog daycare, in addition to caring for family and friends' pets since I was nine years old. My lifelong affinity for animals drives my dedication to their well-being and happiness. Over the years, I've developed a strong understanding of the importance of patience and empathy in providing exceptional care for pets. I'm working part time but, I'm overall fairly available on a day to day basis to help out with pet care needs and occasional overnight boarding. I am working on creating a daycare space in the basement to be able to provide boarding and day time care for the community (: I also can do basic baths & nail trims. My home is 10acres with a dog run, access to water, shelter and many sniffing spots to explore. Pups would stay in my room with me over night with frequent potty breaks during the day and play time in the run. I ensure that all animals are well fed, hydrated, and stimulated if they need to get rid of some energy. I love going on hikes and to water sources. I'm capable of more intense medical care such as medicine administration, wound care, etc.

I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

I work a full time Monday- friday job but on my lunches I can stop by for check ins and walks and after work as well. Weekends are always open too.

About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.
About: Hi my name is Jace, I have grown up around cats and dogs all my life, and worked with them in all their stages of life. I worked on a cattle ranch for a few months in utah. I can care for dogs, cats, and any other pet you have. I'm a hard worker, and very reliable. You can contact me anytime to change your needs, check-in on how things are going, and specify any details on how to better care for you pet. I currently have one pet of my own, a golden retriever border collie mix (age 7) . I am able to teach puppies the basics such as sit, stay, come, and even fetch if I work with them long enough. Negotiable on price, and can sit in hotels if needed. I'm currently in between jobs so I have lots of free time on my hands and would love to spend it taking care and loving all your animals! I will follow whatever set of instructions fits yours and your animals needs best, more detailed the better so I can take care of them to my best ability. I can give meds as I do to my own dog at home. Lots of potty breaks and time outside playing or just soaking up the sun!
About: I have been around animals since childhood when I helped my family raise and take care of our chickens, two calico cats, turtle, rabbit, and parakeets. But I always wanted a puppy... Fast forward to adulthood, I helped my sister raise her mixed-breed puppy and shortly after moving away I got one of my own, a German Shepherd. I have raised and trained her since 10 weeks old and am well versed in any activities that your dog needs to stay stimulated, from training to walking to playing games and fetch. I work from home so I can be fairly flexible with scheduling but would appreciate a day or two of lead time if possible. Thanks! I am comfortable getting your dog in and out of their crate as well as in and out of the house, or in and out of the car (if requested/needed).
About: I’m an experienced, attentive pet sitter who understands that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. I’m comfortable administering medications, learning commands in different languages, and working with pets of all ages and temperaments. I love enriching their lives through play, mental stimulation, affection, and activities that keep them happy and engaged, not just cared for. I run my own home stewardship business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be intentional about the time I spend with your pets. I’m an ideal fit for pets who are comfortable being home alone for up to 6 hours while I’m working. Outside of that time, I’m fully present and love providing companionship, enrichment, play, and plenty of care throughout the day. Fully capable of spending the night as well. I provide more than pet care—I provide peace of mind. I care for your pets, your home, and their routines with genuine attention and respect. I’m observant of animal behavior, attentive to safety, and dependable about following instructions. I take pride in leaving your home clean, cared for, and exactly as I’d hope to find it. While you’re away, you can feel confident knowing everything is in good hands.
About: I am good with a number of pets, I've worked with both conventional furry pets and even feathered and scaly ones, although the scales I definitely have less experience with. I've looked after people's pets plenty of times in the past, both dogs and cats. I much prefer medium or small dogs since I am a small person, but if the large dog is a gentle giant I will certainly consider it. I can work around your schedule quite well, I am very flexible! Weekdays are easy, weekends might need some negotiating but I am open to it. I own a very nervous and anxious cat, so I cannot take overnights sadly. I care for pets as if they are little people. Pets are wonderful companions for life and deserve to be cherished while we have them.
About: I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment. I’m patient, reliable, and always pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs gentle care, I adjust my approach to make them feel comfortable. Im currently working remotely and part time, so I have plenty of time to make pet care part of my daily routine. Great help for you and for me I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and happy. I keep a consistent routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quiet rest periods. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level, and adjust activities to fit their personality.

About: Being a dog owner is a constant source of joy and responsibility. The day begins with the enthusiastic welcome of a wagging tail, setting a positive tone. Daily walks are not just exercise but moments of exploration, where every leaf and lamppost become sources of fascination. Mealtime is a celebration, with the rhythmic sound of a tail thumping against the floor. Regular grooming sessions, from brushing to occasional baths, are a shared experience that reinforces our bond. The unconditional love and loyalty reflected in those soulful eyes make the effort of dog care a rewarding and heartwarming commitment. While my days may lack the physicality of a routine, assisting pet owners like you is a constant in my virtual realm. I'm here to offer timely advice on feeding schedules, grooming practices, exercise routines, and any other aspect of pet care you seek guidance on. Think of me as your virtual companion, ready to help integrate the well-being of your furry friends seamlessly into your daily or weekly schedule. Whether it's a quick tip or a detailed plan, I'm just a message away, ensuring that pet care aligns harmoniously with your life. Caring for pets in a home is a harmonious blend of responsibility and joy. It begins with creating a cozy space, where their bed becomes a sanctuary and their favorite toys add a playful touch. Daily routines include nourishing meals, regular walks, and moments of interactive play that forge a strong bond. Grooming sessions become a ritual of care, ensuring their coats shine and nails stay trim. Beyond the basics, it's the shared moments on the couch or a reassuring pat that make a home truly pet-friendly. In every wag of the tail and purr of contentment, the art of caring for pets transforms a house into a haven filled with love and companionship.

“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”

“Brianna was fantastic with Dune. She kept me updated with frequent pictures and videos. He was playing, napping, and didn’t appear stressed or anxious at all. Overall, she did an excellent job! Thank you.”
“Leaving my 21 month Boston with Kirsten and her family for 6 nights was my first experience of leaving my dog with anyone overnight. We have been together almost 24/7 since I got her as a puppy as I work remotely. We had a fantastic experience! At the meet and greet Kirsten made the effort to connect and relate to Lucy and invited us to experience where she would be living and playing. As well as introducing her to dogs she would be playing with. It all was very reassuring. Lucy clearly enjoyed Kirsten and her family. She was happy to be there, and it was the perfect place! I’m happy to know now that Lucy can stay at Kirsten’s to so I can feel free to travel through the future! Highly recommend!!”
“This was Dandy’s first stay with Cathleen and we already have another stay booked. She took care of our small, elderly dog and rolled with it when she still had to wear a cone to finish some healing that took longer than expected post surgery. She clearly adores dogs and puts them first. She’s also good at managing nervous pet parents! 🥰”
