“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“Sara was great with our dog. From the initial "meet & greet" to the actual stay, she made us and our dog feel comfortable. She was quick to respond to questions, and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would highly recommend using her again.”
“Such a treat to have Duane & Lauren take care of my pup, Rapha while I was away. They are very responsive and attentive to the needs of both owner and doggie. Thank you!”
“Jessica is the best sitter I have ever had on Rover!!! She took great care of my Mickey and provided lots of updates throughout each day. Will definitely book with her again, my dog had a great time with her and her dogs!!”
“Ellen was a great host for our sheepdog! Communication was excellent from start to finish. She sent pictures and video so we knew that Lucy was enjoying her time. Big fenced in backyard was a bonus. Highly recommend.”
“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”
“We absolutely, 100% recommend Edith S. as a pet sitter. She is thoughtful, kind and really loved our little dog while we were gone. Multiple pictures and little stories daily put us completely at ease while we gone. We feel very lucky and grateful to have found her.”
“Great communication for booking, through their stay, and when we needed to adjust our pick up time. We received pictures of our ladies several times, which brightened our day and helped us feel at ease when we were away. They were very attentive to the different food and medication needs our ladies have. We will definitely use them again for future boarding.”

“Val was a careful listener, and asked the right questions about our dog. These first non-family overnights of the dog's life went extremely well. We were fully confident and comfortable about Val's care for Jack, our labradoodle, and were right to be - Jack came home happy!.”
About: Pets have always been family to me. My own dog, Charlie, was by my side for over 16 years, through military moves, raising two boys, and every season of life in between. Caring for him taught me that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine, I'll care for them with the same patience, love, and attention I'd want for my own. My goal is simple: for you to leave knowing your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. As someone who is used to having a pet at home with me at all times, I miss that dog energy! I am excited to care for yours with attention, affection, and reliability. Although I have an unfenced yard, your pet's safety is always my priority. I use leashes for all outdoor time and love taking walks, playing, and giving pets plenty of exercise and attention.
“Kristin, Bruce and family are so caring with great attention to the pet’s needs. This was the first time we left our dog with a non-family member and were so pleased to have such a fantastic family to care for her. Couldn’t recommend them enough!! Thank you sooooo much!!!”
“Ronalisa is very kind. She has a really nice yard for Spunky and Boss to run around. Very responsive. My dogs enjoyed their staycation with her and her fur babies. Spunky and Boss came home tired and happy. Recommend her 10/10.”
“Kaycee was very helpful at our meet and greet, we hung out in their yard for a bit and she explained their setup and routine. She sent pictures while Ollie was boarded, which is much appreciated, and accommodated Ollie when he needed company overnight.”
“Rebecca was great with our dog Luci. She sent pics regularly and was outside with her alot. It's nice to be able to travel knowing your fur baby is well taken care of.”
“The friendliest family! I had car issues and Martha came to the rescue to grab my dog from the side of the road AND dropped her off at the end of the stay. My favorite rover provider to date”
“Our quirky rescue pup was so well taken care of while we were away! In every update we got it was clear that our dog was feeling more and more comfortable and was left in good hands. We will definitely book again!”

“Blanca was amazing - super reliable and responsive! Our cat is usually grumpy, but Blanca is a natural and the cat LOVED her. Great updates and photos with each visit. Will definitely book again!”
“Nikki watched my 3 cats for 5 days while I was out of town. She provided daily updates along with pictures of the cats and I was extremely pleased to come home to find healthy and happy animals. I definitely plan on using Nikki's services whenever I have to leave town and I heartly recommend her to anyone else needing a pet sitter.”
“Caleigh is excellent. We were away for almost a month. We received updates every day and photos. When our kitty developed a bit of congestion Caleigh let us know and adjusted his diet to include hairball treatment. Our kitty was happy and healthy when we arrived home. Everything was in order in the house and clean. Caleigh left a summary note and checked with us a day later to make sure all was well. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Eric was warm and gentle caring for Cocoa. He was thoughtful and diligent to make sure he had everything he’d need to offer the best care. Will definitely book with him again. Thanks Eric!”

“Dayna was an absolute pleasure to work with! She kept my anxious kitty company on a very last-minute notice and provided updates every day. Roxy seemed to have a ball with Dayna, and I’m so thankful for all her help! I’ve never used Rover before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m so happy I went with Dayna! Highly recommended ❤️”

“Phillip was prompt in his communication and personable. We appreciated his flexibility when we modified our original request a little. We also appreciated his candor and would happily have him look in on our cats again.”

“Sarah was very friendly on drop off, I knew my dog was in good hands. Based on the pictures she sent he had a lot of fun playing out with the hose and her dogs! She had good communication and I would recommend her!”
“Perrin was amazing with my 6 month old ball of energy. I’ve been having a tough time adjusting to puppy mom-ing and he had some awesome tips and feedback. So helpful! My puppy had a wonderful day running around with Ava and came home happy and very sleepy. I would 100% recommend this sitter!”
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful. I came to her with a dog who was super anxious at his last sitter (to no fault of the sitter), stubborn, and a senior, and she is so understanding and kind. Ollie is vocal and set in his ways, and she was able to make his experience super positive and he really seemed to like her. I will absolutely be booking her anytime she is available, and as long as she wants Ollie back.”
“Absolutely amazing experience with our dog sitters! 🐾 They took such incredible care of my mini dachshunds, Nugget and Muffin, and treated them like their own. I got updates, photos, and total peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious how much they truly love animals, and my pups came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Nugget and Muffin can be a little spoiled and needy at times, but they were so patient, attentive, and loving with them. I honestly couldn’t ask for better people to trust with my dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitters! 💕”
“Sarah took my dog, Ida, at the least minute for daycare this week. I received regular updates and photos, and my mind was at ease the entire time. Ida had a great time with Sarah, her husband, and her dog! They made sure she got outside every few hours and kept track of how much she ate and used the potty the whole time. They were very conscious of her allergies as well. I will definitely book again!”

Tina was so sweet and I felt really comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. You can tell right away that her and Cameron are extremely knowledgeable and have a lot of experience in caring for dogs. My dog came home very happy and ready for a nap - perfect! :) Definitely will be a repeating customer!”
About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs.

I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
“I just got a new puppy recently and realized he liked to bark. I have an apartment so the two don’t go together. I contacted Lorelei and she got back to me right away as I was in a panic the night before work. She was able to help watch Beau while I worked long hours. I got tons of videos and pictures reassuring me throughout the day. Beau came home tired and worn out from playing with the other dogs. Lorelei took into consideration he was a puppy and took him on lots of potty breaks and blocked off the stairs so he wouldn’t fall, since he was still new to those. I would recommend her 1000 times over. We are so appreciative of your time and everything you helped Beau learn as well! We will definitely be returning in the future.”

About: Caring for others (especially animals) is truly my passion! I was a nanny for over 5 years which opened me up to pet care as well.

About: I grew up on a farm, which is pretty much where my animal obsession began! I was surrounded by cows, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, dogs — basically if it had fur, feathers, or hooves, I probably helped take care of it. Growing up around so many different animals taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own unique personality. Ever since then, animals have just naturally been a huge part of my life! I’m a full-time nurse with a flexible schedule, since I only work 3–4 days a week. That means I have plenty of time, energy, and attention to dedicate to your furry friends!

I have crates, I do structured playtime and go on long walks to exert energy. I also have a friendly dogs who would love to keep your pet company.

Caring for all kinds of animals brings me incredible joy! Ensuring they have fresh food and water, exercise, stimulation, and love is of the utmost importance. I am flexible and can work with you to suit the needs of your pets. I'm comfortable giving medications too.

I will send lots of pictures and updates as I understand it can be anxiety provoking to trust your dog with someone new! I do work full time, but only 3 days a week. This schedule varies week to week so while I don’t have a consistent schedule, my days off work can be fully devoted to you and your pet!

About: I grew up on a horse farm and always had a variety of animals around me. A cat and dog were our constant companions, so caring for animals has always felt natural to me. As an adult, I realize that growing up that way taught me responsibility from an early age. I understand how important it is to have someone you can rely on and trust when you’re away from home, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in my care. When I care for your pets, I’ll follow their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll give them the attention, affection, exercise, food, and care they need—and of course, I’ll clean up after them and leave your home just as I found it, if not better.

I have many friends that come to me first when they need help, especially with their animals. Many of my friends have called me a dog whisperer. I currently work full time from home as an accountant.

They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”
“Val was a careful listener, and asked the right questions about our dog. These first non-family overnights of the dog's life went extremely well. We were fully confident and comfortable about Val's care for Jack, our labradoodle, and were right to be - Jack came home happy!.”
About: Pets have always been family to me. My own dog, Charlie, was by my side for over 16 years, through military moves, raising two boys, and every season of life in between. Caring for him taught me that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine, I'll care for them with the same patience, love, and attention I'd want for my own. My goal is simple: for you to leave knowing your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. As someone who is used to having a pet at home with me at all times, I miss that dog energy! I am excited to care for yours with attention, affection, and reliability. Although I have an unfenced yard, your pet's safety is always my priority. I use leashes for all outdoor time and love taking walks, playing, and giving pets plenty of exercise and attention.
“Kristin, Bruce and family are so caring with great attention to the pet’s needs. This was the first time we left our dog with a non-family member and were so pleased to have such a fantastic family to care for her. Couldn’t recommend them enough!! Thank you sooooo much!!!”
“Ronalisa is very kind. She has a really nice yard for Spunky and Boss to run around. Very responsive. My dogs enjoyed their staycation with her and her fur babies. Spunky and Boss came home tired and happy. Recommend her 10/10.”
“Kaycee was very helpful at our meet and greet, we hung out in their yard for a bit and she explained their setup and routine. She sent pictures while Ollie was boarded, which is much appreciated, and accommodated Ollie when he needed company overnight.”
“Rebecca was great with our dog Luci. She sent pics regularly and was outside with her alot. It's nice to be able to travel knowing your fur baby is well taken care of.”
“The friendliest family! I had car issues and Martha came to the rescue to grab my dog from the side of the road AND dropped her off at the end of the stay. My favorite rover provider to date”
“Yoki and Derek were extremely welcoming to our dog and had great communication with us throughout the stay. They have the perfect house/yard for your pet to get plenty of exercise or just hang out. I would recommend booking with them.”
“Stephanie was an amazing sitter. She messaged me daily with pictures too. Walks, playtime and belly rubs were a daily occurrence with Mack. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home. 😊”
“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”
“Erika did a great job caring for my senior dog. She was conscientious of some extra needs he has at this point in his life, she communicated clearly, and she sent sweet picture updates. Thanks, Erika!”
“Absolutely fantastic! Gave Odin so love, attention, and exercise! Gave updates throughout the week. Could not have asked for anyone better to care for my dog while I was away!”
