About: I have been a foster parent for the Humane Society for the last 3 years. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and regularly watch pets for my family and friends. I have a calm and friendly dog named Ketchup that we've had for 14 years. I also have a cat named Binx that I adopted last year from the Humane Society. Animals will stay inside the home in a calm and safe environment. They will get dedicated time and attention while they are boarded here. Animals will have playtime and dogs will go for walks. I will send pictures to their parents while they are away. I work from home so I am always available to keep your pet company while you are gone. This also allows me the time needed to check on your pet and provide bathroom breaks as needed. I can take dogs for daily walks and they will have plenty of playtime. I have a dog and cat to keep your pet company while you are away.
“We had a wonderful experience working with Frankie this weekend!! Our dog Kora had such great spirits when we picked her up, after spending the day and evening with Frankie!!! Will definitely go back to have her host for daycare for our little Kora!!”
“Laura boarded Wiley for a weekend. Wiley was well taken care of and enjoyed her Yard. Wiley often has anxiety when we are gone but adapted to Laura and family nicely. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. Laura sent photos and communicated how Wiley was adapting. All went perfectly. I highly recommend Laura to watch your dog.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was pleased to find an experienced host close to my home. Salena was good about confirming our logistics and sent a couple of updates during the stay. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with her and her pets. I will look for her again, the next time I need to travel.”
“Luana is loving caring individual and takes pride in taking cate of your fur baby making sure my dog was a priority. Sends great pictures to provide updates. I will definitely recommend.”

About: I love animals, and I care deeply for them. Their company never bothers or annoys me. It makes me happy to take care of them. 😊 I've been taking care of animals since I was little, and I've had a variety of them. I'll never judge an animal or get angry with one; they are pure and true. I've owned and looked after hamsters, lizards, birds, dogs, and cats of different shapes, sizes, and ages throughout my whole life, providing the necessities they need. I'm currently free all the time, so I can always be there. I can be ready anytime during the day and for a decent amount of hours. As a pet sitter, I prioritize providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for furry friends like yours, either in my home or outside and/or your home.
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well!

I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
“Scott was great!! He was very accommodating with all of Sadie’s needs and our concerns. He mentioned a few activities that he would do and showed us where Sadie would go out and play. The area was fenced in and very secure. He has two dogs of his own and they were very friendly and Sadie got along great with them.We felt very comfortable after dropping Sadie with Scott. We highly recommend him, and would certainly use his services anytime.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.

About: I grew up with pets in my household and have an a great love for dogs of all types! Although I do not own a cat of my own, I do love to play with cats, watching their curious eyes. I enjoy walking/running around with the dog to keep them and myself healthy! I am fairly flexible and am willing to come in and help out at even the oddest times of the day, I am very good at following directions, and pride myself in being thorough with my appointments. Your pet is very special to you, and deserves quality care when you can’t be around. Reach out to me if you need a new pal for your loving, furry member of your great family! Work full time but get up early to get a good dog walk in and the fetch or puppy pool time in the afternoon after work. I have 67-acres where your pet could run! A pond to splash in and a huge ball field for catch! One dog boarding at a time.
“Patty was amazing and helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our cats would be well looked after. Even though they were not receptive to having a new human looking after them, she didn’t give up in trying to win them over and I know they appreciated her being there, even though they didn’t show it. 😹 We definitely would not hesitate to rebook Patty in the future.”
“Great experience! Sadie bonds so well with Bonnie and took extra care with her special feeding needs.I really appreciated the updates and felt completely at ease knowing Bonnie was in such good hands.I will definitely book with her again.”
“Salena did a fantastic job looking after my four cats. She communicated with me regularly to let me know how things were going and she took photos in which I could see for myself how my pals looked, and they all looked good. I would recommend her highly. I am totally and completely satisfied.”
About: Hi, I'm Jensen, a dedicated dog sitter who loves keeping your dogs happy, active, and well-cared for! I welcome all breeds and offer a full range of services, including dog/house sitting, walking, drop-in visits, and more. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just needs some extra attention, I’m here to make sure they get the exercise and care they deserve while you are away! I am available for overnight dog/housesitting most weekends. I am able to stay during the week if the dog can be alone for 8 hours while I am at work. I am also available for drop-in care after 4pm. I’ve had dogs my entire life with many different temperaments and needs. I am able to adjust care depending on what your dog needs or is used to.
About: I've had a miniature schnauzer since I was 5 years old, so I have a lot of experience with taking walks, feeding, bathing, playing and cuddling! Sadly she passed away just recently, so I'm missing the special kind of joy you get from a dog and would love to take care of yours! I also have experience with dog-sitting throughout the day and overnight with the dogs' sizes ranging from small to large. Additionally, I've had a cat(s) in my life since I was 4, so I'd love to take care of your kitty as well if you have one! I am currently working part-time, so I have a good amount of time on my hands to take care of your pet(s)! Specifically, I'm usually available anytime after 4:30pm Mon-Thur and almost anytime Fri-Sun since those are my days off. Whatever your routine and rules are for your pet(s) is what I will respect and follow! You know your baby best so I am more than willing to listen to anything and everything you need from me in order to take care of your pet.
About: I grew up in an animal loving family! Grew up with dogs my whole life, I’ve taught dogs ages 2-12 how to Sit, Shake, Lay down, Stay, High Five and Up High! I’m very good with dealing with all dogs whether laid back or very hyper! I worked at several dog daycares in the last 4 years! I work a full time M-F job all day, 8a-5p. I also work very part time at another job, so I try to get get out whenever I can as early as possible or go out later as as soon as i can to hang out and take care of animals because they really mean a lot too me and bring me the most joy! I’m a huge outdoorsy person so I love walks with my dog!! As for Ganja, he lovesss the outside so we have the back door open with the screen door shut for him, he does like going outside so we make sure to put on his harness and leash and keep him close to us! My biggest priority is safety, making sure the pet doesn’t run away, or get injured in anyway! My Izy is extremely good off leash, I give her that freedom so she can run all around and get her energy out, she knows where not to go very well!! When on walks she is leashed up always!!
About: I provide calm, reliable care for cats, especially those who are shy, independent, or sensitive to change. I take a low-pressure approach and let each cat set the pace for interaction. I’m attentive to routines, appetite, litter box habits, and subtle behavior changes, and I understand that many cats prefer consistency over attention from new people. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable and stress free while you’re away, whether that means quiet companionship or simply maintaining their normal routine. I have a healthcare background, so I'm attentive to subtle changes in behavior or routine.

“Bandit absolutely loved going to Judy’s house! He had so much fun and was so snoozy after! She gave lots of updates and I loved that she took lots of pictures! Thank you! Will be using her again!”

About: My husband and I have been watching dogs in our home for over 10 years. Our busy lives of work and family have always held us back from owning our own dog. To satisfy our love for dogs we started watching our friends and families dogs and over the years thru word of mouth we have started getting phone calls asking if we would take on more dogs and then joined Rover. We have experience with small to large dogs, dogs with special dietary needs, dogs that need to be able to run, dogs that want to sit on your lap, to dogs that have medical needs. We believe that dogs should be treated as part of the family. We allow them to sit on furniture, sleep in bed etc.. Our jobs have afford us the ability to be able to adjust our schedules to be flexible and have the option to work from home when we have a dog staying with us. This allows us to be home with your dog to ensure they are getting plenty of play time, outside time and lots of attention. It is very rare that your dog will be home alone for a period of time. Our home is your dogs home... we give the dogs full access to the house. We are non smokers and do not have any pets of our own or small children. We walk the dogs twice a day and have an acre of land that dogs are free to roam, run and play -we like to play ball and tug a rope. We do provide a ground stake with a leash for those that like to run "free". We have ability to work from home and have very flexible schedules when needed. Which in turn allows us to very rarely leave your dog home alone We treat the dogs just as if they were our very own pet.. as part of the family. They have free range of the house .. on the furniture and beds.

I always keep dogs on-leash during walks (unless in a secure, off-leash area with your permission), avoid unsafe routes, and stay alert to other animals or hazards. I closely follow your instructions and routines to keep your pet feeling secure and cared for.

I live 5 minutes away from a big dog park. I also live with my mom and two of my siblings. There are four medium sized dogs that live in this house and enjoy playing with most other dogs.
“Erica was a god-send when we couldn’t take our dog with us to an event out of town. Her profile told me she’d be great and I was so grateful she was available. It was only for 5 hours but she managed to get our sometimes finicky and whiny dog to settle and eat her food when given! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Audrey while we were away for spring break. She walked our dog three times a day and was always punctual, reliable, and very caring. We had complete peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. She was not only professional, but also a great companion for our pup, making sure each walk was enjoyable and engaging. We could tell our dog was happy and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciate her dedication and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker. We would gladly book with her again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I had my own dog for 16 years, from childhood through her senior years, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency dogs need at every stage of life. I regularly walked her and taught her commands like sit, shake, and roll over. As she got older and developed health conditions, I continued caring for her with patience and attention to her changing needs. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society and used to go with my mom when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable around dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m home from college for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to spend my weekdays doing something I genuinely enjoy. I only work a few nights a week, so I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’ve always loved being around dogs, so this feels like the perfect side job for me while I’m home. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, and I’d love to help give your pets some extra attention, exercise, and care during the day. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. During walks I keep dogs closely leashed, pay attention to our surroundings, bring water and waste bags, and make sure not to walk too far especially in hot weather or with older dogs. For drop in visits I make sure pets have fresh food and water, get attention and play time, and that everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also know how important pets are to people, so I’d always keep owners updated and send pictures when I can.
About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with two years of professional experience, working in dog boarding and doggy daycare environments. During my time in professional boarding and daycare, I developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and group dynamics. I learned how to safely manage dogs of all sizes temperament and energy levels while ensuring each dog felt comfortable safe and well cared for my daily responsibilities included feeding supervising play groups, maintaining clean and safe spaces, monitoring behavior and providing individualized attention to each dog. My love for animals began long before my professional experience. I have loved animals my entire life and grew up with pets starting from small pets like guinea pigs and growing into caring for many pets at once. Today I am a proud parent of three dogs (Remi,Nala,Trixie) and three cats (Linus, Hunter, Sweet Pea) of my own, which is giving me firsthand experience with daily pet routines, multi pet households and providing consistent loving care. Caring for animals is not just a job for me. It’s something I’m truly passionate about. I treat every pet as they were my own and strive to create a safe, fun and nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident, leaving their furry family members in my care My schedule is centered around caring for my and your animals. I’m able to offer very flexible availability to meet the needs of pet owners whether it’s early-morning evenings or last-minute requests I do my best to accommodate different schedules. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and available when life gets busy. I’m committed to being there when your pet needs care. As my home is already a zoo so I cannot provide care there, I’m happy to provide loving reliable care in your homes where your pets feel most comfortable. I have no problem traveling to your home to feed provide potty brakes playtime, and make sure your pets are safe happy and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with respect and care as if they are my own in addition to in-home visits. I also offer walking services to help keep your dogs, active exercise and on their normal routine.

About: I have been caring for dogs as long as I can remember. My grandmother used to raise hunting dogs when I was a little girl and I've always had at least two dogs at home! Growing up, I'd pet and house sit for neighbors, friends, and family. I've also worked at several doggy daycares and have cared for pups of all size, age, and ability. I would love to earn your trust when it comes to taking care of your fur babies- they're not just dogs, they're family. As a new mama, I am only working part time at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care for your babies, too! I will ensure that your babies are treated like my own. TO me, this means that they won't need to wait long for potty breaks, will be fed at the appropriate time, and will always have a safe and calm environment while you are away.

I will treat your pet like my own- with care, patience, and compassion. I respect the homes of the people I petsit for (no touching any personal belongings) and communicate with the owners to keep them in the know!

“Miranda is amazing…! I totally trust her with my dog, who is an elder dog who recently had back surgery, so she has some special needs and I worry. But with Miranda I don’t stress at all because I know she’s in good hands, with an experienced Dogwalker, with a history of working with all sorts of dogs. Plus, Miranda sends me pictures of her and lets me know how things went, by leaving a note inside the house, which is a really nice personal touch that I enjoy. I highly recommend her.”
“Judy is great! She’s very communicative, respectful and responsible. She’s great at responding pretty fast as well, which makes planning so much easier for me. She takes very good care of my boy and sends lots of pictures. I trust her to take care of my boy. Highly recommend to book with her.”

In addition to loving and caring for my own pets, I have cared for and done simple training with the pets of friends and family. My goal is for you to be able to build and maintain positive, safe routine so your pet feels secure.

Finding out your pet's interests and care routine is very important to providing the best individualized care--let me know how you would like the time spent!
About: I worked for the humane society for 1 year and there I worked with a range of dogs, including pits, puppies, seniors, special needs, and ‘behavioral’ dogs. I also know training to an extent!

In my home, my dogs have electric collars to make sure they do not run off. I also keep an eye on them while they’re outside. They are fed on a schedule and also walked one on as well. My cats are also fed on a scheduled, daily litter box changes, and of course play time just like my dogs. In a client’s home I will do what they prefer so that they’re comfortable with me! I am responsible and respectful of others property and items, as one should be!

“Tyler is absolutely amazing! My husband and I work day shifts and are not home much during weekdays and Tyler has helped so much with taking him for walks. Milo is naturally a friendly boy but based on his interaction with Tyler he has definitely taken a liking to him. 10/10 would recommend working with Tyler”
About: Premium Pet & Flock Care Tailored for Every Life Stage As a trusted and experienced pet care provider, I specialize in personalized sitting services for large-breed pups, cats, and their smaller furry friends — with added expertise in puppy training, compassionate senior pet care, and even backyard flock care for chickens. Your pets are unique, and so is my approach: I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel secure, loved, and engaged while you’re away. From teaching puppies good manners and basic obedience, to gently caring for older pets who need extra patience and attention, to providing thoughtful care for your feline family members — I deliver professional, reliable care that goes far beyond feeding and walking.

You’ll return to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for family every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide loving, attentive care around the clock. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to each pet’s unique needs — whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or administering medication. Because I’m home throughout the day and night, pets in my care enjoy consistent companionship, plenty of interaction, and a stable, comforting environment that feels like home. I’m able to maintain their familiar routines and give them the one-on-one attention they deserve, so they’re never lonely or stressed while you’re away. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it’s at the heart of my everyday life. I care for pets in my home by providing round-the-clock attention in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they feel like part of the family. Pets enjoy plenty of playtime, outdoor exercise (especially for large-breed dogs), and cozy resting spots. I maintain their regular feeding and potty schedules and offer lots of love, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day and night. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I tailor each visit to their pet’s routine and comfort level. This can include daily walks, fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and overnight stays for pets who do best in their familiar surroundings. I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and relaxed — and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and devotion I give my own — because they deserve nothing less.
About: Since I was little I have always loved animals, I feel that I have a unique connection with them. From the age of 10. In Ecuador, I was taking care of dogs. Neighbors have trusted me for the attention I gave to their pets, for playing with them, etc. But since I arrived in the United States I have not been able to continue with that hobby. When I had my dogs I took care of them every day. I gave them food in the morning and at night, I took them for walks and we played a lot with them. On weekends I washed them. Another thing I would like you to know is that my first language is Spanish, I don't speak it but I understand it a little more. I hope that's not a problem. And it would be my first time, walking dogs here in the United States I give food and water on time. I walk them, play a little and keep everything clean. I tell the owner how it goes with photos.

We highly recommend him, and would certainly use his services anytime.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.
“Danielle is so sweet and our pup, Laney had so much fun! She sent me updates and photos of what they were doing and was honest about other weekend obligations. We are really happy with how she cared for our dog and would highly recommend!!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8. I pay attention to all the pets that I care for. I also am very good at attending to dogs with anything they need. I am looking to do this full time and I am flexible with anyone’s schedule. I am home most of the time except to run errands. I have a big house and big yard that is fenced in. I live 5 minutes away from a big dog park. I also live with my mom and two of my siblings. There are four medium sized dogs that live in this house and enjoy playing with most other dogs.
“This was my first experience with Rover.com. It was great. Erica sent me a lot of photos, and put me at ease right from the get go at the initial meet and greet. My 2 dogs are larger and I was nervous about finding someone willing to take on that kind of responsibility. I picked up two very calm dogs, which is an immediate indicator to me that they were walked plenty. Also they had been bathed! 5 Stars and will be booking again if they are available in the future !”
“Gilian was super flexible with drop off and pickup. We loved getting daily updates that included pictures and details about her activity and food/water intake. Gilian definitely made us feel so relieved during our time away because we knew she was in good hands and being cared for in a comfortable home, surrounded by other doggy playmates. Thanks, Gilian!”
