“Is very flexible and was available when needed! We loved getting the pictures and updates on vacation. It gave us peace of mind that Remi was doing great while we were away.”
“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”
“Courtney did a great job with Louie. It was such a pleasure to come back from a trip and have our pup alert, rested and well taken care of. Louie was accepted into the "Dog Pack" and we will for sure be asking Courtney to take care of our boy again in the future. Thank you Courtney.”
“Lisa and her family take Blue in like one of their own. Blue is always very excited to run in and greet everyone when we arrive. The pics Lisa sends always show a very contented pup during her stay”
“Sadie’s was a great pet caregiver to our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we left him with someone for a few days, and, he loved it! She shared pictures throughout his stay of his playtime and nap time. He was a tired puppy when he came home. He will visit with her again!”
“Very nice couple! They took excellent care of our 4 month old Golden Puppy with tons of attention and everybody knows the extra attention that puppies need and ours can be a little pistol. Communication and updates were a breeze. We don’t live in the area but the next time we are visiting Frank and Wife will be our first call”
“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”

We received photos and updates throughout the stay that showed Lucy was being loved and cared for the same as if she were at home.

“This was my first time leaving Charlie with Amy; he stayed for a few days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, I felt such peace knowing that he was in good hands. Amy along with her sweet daughters took amazing care of Charlie —he looked so happy and comfortable in every adorable photo update I received! Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Charlie was treated like family. I am so grateful and will definitely book again! Thank you Amy”
“Molly did a really great job looking after Perrito and Gregorny. I believe our pups love her and Skyy! She updates us regularly about the boys which is a relief, being away from them for about a week. There were some unfortunate things that happened (whining during bed time, and accidents around the house) but Molly was really understanding. Thank you so much again, Molly, for taking care of Perrito and Gregorny for the second time 😊”

About: Grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. Started pet and house sitting in my early teen years for dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats, fish and turtles.

I work a full- time job that is typically 8am-4:30pm with some earlier mornings and nights as needed. But schedule can be somewhat flexible to fit your needs! I’d love to care for whatever your pet needs, walking, playing, feeding or just spend some time with them.

About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
About: I myself have 5 rats, otherwise my family has owned so many animals over the years. Like pigs, many dogs, cats, birds, and more! Personally, I thrive on communication and respect. I will always ask questions if I don't understand something and always try to make things right. I am a part-time college student, currently unemployed but searching for a job. So I have a LOT of free time, I barely have any dead set plans and when I do they aren't full-day. Fitting animals more into my life will help me be flexible and caring. Ill be able to strengthen my knowledge in each and every type of animal I'll come across and be able to care for them how they need it. I always clean up after pets, especially if theres a kennel, backyard area, and litter boxes. I'm willing to clean floors, and do tidying aswell. I'll play with the pet for awhile and comfort them, while giving them my full attention. I'm willing to do just about anything!
About: I grew up from childhood in a family with dogs around all the time. I’ve had my boy Jordy for 5 years now. He’s husky just like I had in my teenage years. Training him went super well and it’s been one of the best experiences of my adult life having him around. He gets along great with most all other dogs and loves kids. I absolutely adore animals and I've been a nanny for several families over the past 10+ years, where I've cared for pets as well as children whether just on a normal daily basis or while the families were out of town. I'm currently a freelance photographer and I generally work from home most of the time which offers me a good bit of flexibility and free time to take on some odd jobs like pet-sitting and or childcare. I have a fenced in yard and a high energy friendly husky to play with. I also drive a 4runner that'd be easy to load up and take a couple pups to the parks nearby and/or it’s a great neighborhood to go for a long walk/run.

I love walking dogs and tiring them out from commands and tasty rewards. With me taking care of your dog, be sure to know they’re getting lots of love! I am a first grade teacher and have the summers off. My schedule is totally open and I can be very flexible as needed! I will schedule my personal needs around you and your pet’s needs.

Inside my home, I can baby gate your dog(s) in our dining room and kitchen area if need be. Whatever instructions of care I am given will be followed as specified.

I also have a kitten named Oreo who thinks he is a dog. I work from home so I am home 90% of the time. Please feel free to message me and we can talk about your dogs needs. I can send you pictures throughout the stay if you would like as well. I am home 80% of the time. It is something I am passionate about and love. I also run a small business from home so never worry about your fur babies being alone. I have three dogs of my own so adding a few more to my daily routine makes it just a little more fun. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have two of my own dogs to keep your animals active and playing. I do prefer the dog to be crated at night for their safety. I have an alarm system as well as outside video surveillance.
About: Love for animals! I believe animals should be treated with kindness, respect and love. I have raised, taken care of and babysat dogs, cats and other animals since I was young plus have been blessed with a variety of furbabies over the years. I am very patient and understand that each person/animal has their own way and schedule that I’m more then willing to learn. I would be very happy to spend time with your furbaby/furbabies playing, cuddling, feeding and/or walking... I don’t mind doing last minute appointments, helping with vacations or even just being someone’s back up person. We all need a little extra help once in a while. I have a lot of experience with cats also and would be more than willing to come to your house to feed, brush, clean the litter and play, to give them exercise. Same with birds or any small animals. Thank you for reading and I hope to meet your furbaby someday soon!!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. When it comes to walking them, taking care of there medical needs, and giving them a lot of love, I enjoy every second of it.ere to happen, which it wouldn’t. I’d love to give your dogs a lot of love and make sure they are as comfortable as possible. I have many references if wanting to see. Thanks so much for taking the time to read :) I make time for whatever I can to be able to help others and their fur babies happy and comfortable.y schedule varies and isn’t very consistent at the moment, but can usually try to book ahead of time. I hope to have them feel like its a regular day for them, make sure they are happy and sense the calm I hope to bring to the table. Take care of the house as if it was my own, and try to make sure your pet is happy!
“Alyssa was great to work with. Great communication, was easy to schedule a meet and greet with, and everything went fantastic on the actual walk. She followed instructions, took lots of photos, and my dog seems to have enjoyed himself! Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve grown up raising 2 toy poodles from my childhood. Now as an adult I recently adopted my first dog of my own, Mabel, who is a 1yr old lab! I also have horses, so have been around all sorts of animals my whole life. Love any and all sizes and breeds of pups! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and can do last minute/short notice requests no problem! If you need me to spend a little more time with your pet, I can easily bring my work computer with me. I would treat your home as my own. Follow any/all rules you may have as well as rules for your pet. My dog is crate trained when away so I am comfortable having anything to do around crating.
About: I’ve been known for being a animal whisper . Don’t take my word for it. I alone have a genuine love for all animals and they have the same respect for me I am a full time student and part time worker. I’m committing my extra time to be devoted to you and your dog. Talk to me about availability I keep a close eye on your animal behavior, so I would be able to report to you any changes in behaviors & eating habits
“Sarah has been walking my dog Annie everyday for a couple weeks now! She is amazing with my pup and loves her like her own. I would highly recommend booking with Sarah if you want a great experience with excellent communication!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly enjoy building trust with each animal I work with. I have experience with in-home dog sitting for families while they are on vacation, as well as daytime dog walking and regular drop-in visits. I’ve even cared for and traveled with pets of A-list celebrities! Over the years, I’ve primarily cared for medium and large dogs of all personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and calm in every situation, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and peace of mind for pet parents. I’m currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to care for your pet. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around the time and attention pets need. I prioritize consistent visits, walks, and check-ins so each pet gets reliable care and lots of attention. At home I have a black lab! I care for pets as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, consistency, and lots of attention. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible with feeding schedules, walks, and playtime so they experience minimal disruption.

“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”
“Courtney did a great job with Louie. It was such a pleasure to come back from a trip and have our pup alert, rested and well taken care of. Louie was accepted into the "Dog Pack" and we will for sure be asking Courtney to take care of our boy again in the future. Thank you Courtney.”
“Lisa and her family take Blue in like one of their own. Blue is always very excited to run in and greet everyone when we arrive. The pics Lisa sends always show a very contented pup during her stay”
“Very nice couple! They took excellent care of our 4 month old Golden Puppy with tons of attention and everybody knows the extra attention that puppies need and ours can be a little pistol. Communication and updates were a breeze. We don’t live in the area but the next time we are visiting Frank and Wife will be our first call”
“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”

“Lucy loved the stay at Don’s house. He was very accommodating to our energetic pup who loved to run in his fenced back yard. We received photos and updates throughout the stay that showed Lucy was being loved and cared for the same as if she were at home. When I picked Lucy up she was excited to see me but was not anxious to leave lol!! I would highly recommend Don and his adorable dog Billie to anyone looking for a caring, responsible pet sitter. Lucy hopes to go back soon!!”

About: As someone who loves both dogs and cats, I understand that every animal has a unique personality. I know that some pets want nonstop playtime while others prefer quiet companionship. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable and respected, helping reduce stress while their owners are away. From energetic dogs to cuddly cats and senior pets needing extra attention, I provide personalized care for every animal I meet. 🐾❤️ I’m currently working part time as a server at a restaurant and the shift are very short 4-5 hours. I only work a fees shifts a week so I can be there for your pets a majority of the day!! I have a 1 bedroom apartment but it’s always clean, and there’s plenty of room! I do have a cat of my own so I would prefer to watch your pet at your home!
“This was my first time leaving Charlie with Amy; he stayed for a few days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, I felt such peace knowing that he was in good hands. Amy along with her sweet daughters took amazing care of Charlie —he looked so happy and comfortable in every adorable photo update I received! Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Charlie was treated like family. I am so grateful and will definitely book again! Thank you Amy”
“Molly did a really great job looking after Perrito and Gregorny. I believe our pups love her and Skyy! She updates us regularly about the boys which is a relief, being away from them for about a week. There were some unfortunate things that happened (whining during bed time, and accidents around the house) but Molly was really understanding. Thank you so much again, Molly, for taking care of Perrito and Gregorny for the second time 😊”
“I can not even imagine a better dog sitter. They cared for our pup as if she was one of her own, handled her separation anxiety with such love and kindness and sent amazing updates the entire time.”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals, dogs being the main one. Love carin for dogs and always making them feel loved, even when owners may have to be away. What better way to spoil your pet then to make sure they have a great day too! I am the kind of person that would go to a party and hang out with the dog. I have excoerience in caring for both people and animals and hope that I may be able to help care for more. I will always be focused on what you are looking for for your dog and making sure that they get the time and love they deserve each day. Hope to talk to you soon. ? ❤️ We are a working household but have staggered start and end times so very little time is left alone. During that time dogs can remain out if possible or can be crated. Our dogs are crate trained for this time as well, though not always done. We have two friendly, though large dogs to keep yours company. We also have 2 cats, but can be placed in a different area of the house as needed. Have 2 meal times per day and can adjust to fit needs. Always have water available and frequent outside time.
“Mac seemed well cared for when I picked him up from a one week stay with Jori-this is particularly notable since he had never been left with someone he didn’t know well! Jori communicated well throughout the process. Very pleased, and would book with Jori again!”
“Our shy pup loved staying with Emily! She did a perfect job getting her settled in, acquainted with the couple of other pups, and sent us photos and a message every day of all the fun they had. Our pup got plenty of attention, exercise and care. Thank you so much, Emily!”
“The family took good care of my dog. I received a couple pics and great communication overall with Harley. I would use Harley in the future if they were willing. Thank you guys so much for loving our Gemma!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I've had my first (adult life) dog for three and a half year. Wila Rose is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. About a year and a half ago we added another rescue, Buckley Quinn. He is a smart but goofy boy. They both go backpacking with us and we do a lot of hiking on our local public land areas. We enjoy playing around in our yard with our limited dog agility set and learning new tricks. We occasionally go swimming but love jumping and exploring new water areas and hiking trails. Wila and Buckley are a huge part of my life. We enjoy hiking, being outdoor, and traveling as much as possible. We do quite a but of training included but not limited to: agility, scent training, shed training, and just some fun party tricks. I am new to Rover so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have an acre of land (not fenced in). We love to go on walks and sniffaris at our local parks. Buckley loved to play with other dogs and Wila is more of a people dog. They even loves to go backpacking and hiking which often include 10+ miles a day.
