We are so happy to have found Sharon! Our dog, Yuna, stayed with her for about a week over the holiday. It was our first time leaving our dog with someone she didn’t know, but Sharon made us feel at ease by sending us pictures and updates every day. She was also so easy to communicate and coordinate with. Yuna had a blast going on walks, playing in the yard, and resting with Sharon. Thank you!

I was super nervous to leave Remy with a stranger for the 1st time, but as soon as I met Christina, I knew she was in good hands. Christina sent me so many pictures and updates of Remy having the best time playing in their amazing back yard, going on multiple (!!!) hikes, and snuggling with their sweet boy Frankie. If you have a dog with a lot of energy - look no further for the ultimate pet sitter! Christina, her husband, and their dog Frankie truly treated Remy like part of their family for the weekend, and I couldn’t be more thankful for finding them on Rover. If I could give Christina 100 stars, I would! Remy and I are both looking forward to her next stay at their home!

About: Hi, I’m Katrina! I’ve always been a very avid animal lover. I got my own dog four years ago and trained her from puppyhood, so I understand both the patience and consistency it takes to raise a happy, well-behaved pup. Before that, I walked dogs in my neighborhood and loved getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Along with dogs and cats, I also have experience with birds and wildlife, including administering avian medications and helping in rehabilitation settings. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or extra-special care, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m a university student with a lighter course load this year, which gives me plenty of time for work and extracurriculars. Since my schedule is flexible and broken up throughout the day, I can stop by for walks between classes or even host a furry friend for a weekend sleepover! In my home, pets get plenty of love, attention, and a safe environment. I stick to their usual routines—feeding times, walks, play, and quiet time—to keep them comfortable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s directions, give updates, and stick to routines so pets feel secure and stress-free.

Dana was amazing. I had only had my dog for a month and I needed to find a sitter for a week. The meet and greet with Dana went so well I didn't even bother meeting the other sitters. Her home is like paradise for dogs! She has several dogs of her own and also fosters dogs. She has a fenced in yard and a cozy living room, where the dogs can roam freely. While my dog was there, she sent me a message with pictures every day! This was especially appreciated. I highly recommend Dana. I could not have been happier with her service!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for quite a while and have cared for many different kinds of dogs with a wide range of needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including safely distributing and administering different types of medications as part of their daily routines. I’m also working toward becoming a nurse, which reflects how much I genuinely love caring for others, both people and pets. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and attentive, and I bring that same level of compassion and responsibility to every dog I care for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., which allows me to plan my days around pet care needs. On days I don’t have class, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. Even on class days, I’m able to provide care before and after class and make sure pets stick to their normal routines. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and any specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care guidelines closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets in safe areas, and maintain a calm, clean environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly space with close supervision, plenty of attention, and a comfortable area to rest and play. I’m careful about monitoring behavior, limiting exposure to hazards, and adjusting care based on age, energy level, or health needs. I also believe communication is extremely crucial, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and confident that their pets are well cared for.

Karen, Chris, and their family were truly the best of the best when it came to caring for our Sunny while we were away on vacation for a week. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog! He even whined on the car ride home because he didn’t want to leave, which says everything. Karen provided multiple daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters. Thank you again, Karen, Chris, Abby, Joe, and Charm —Sunny already misses you all so much!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and 3 dogs of my own as an adult. I currently have a 4 year old sheepdog mix, she is the light of my life. I am fully retired and looking to keep busy and earn a little money, taking care of your pet(s) as though they were my own. I am retired and enjoy spending my days with a fitness class and being outdoors as much as possible. I’m readily available to provide undivided attention to your furry family member(s). Play dates with my pup are an option as well as boarding in my home. I always use a leash. My home has a fenced yard. I will pick up after the pet, feed, medicate, etc. I will treat your pet and your home as I would my own.

Yunshu and her family took excellent care of my Mini Schnauzer, Harry. I received photos and videos often while I was away. Her two little girls loved playing and walking Harry So he was kept busy all the time so he didn't have time to miss me. HaHa. Their house is very clean and well kept and I knew he was in great hands when I first visited. I will definitely have Yunshu watch Harry again when I take a trip.

Karissa was very accommodating and responded to my last minute request for care after the sitter scheduled cancelled on us last minute. Right away my dog sensed her good energy, that of her family and home. He was happy at drop off and came back happy, which speaks volumes of the good care he received. I appreciated the daily update and reassuring pictures. If I am in Newport next year, I hope Chapu can stay with Karissa and family again. Thanks so much!

Brian and his family are wonderful. We are so happy to have found them and will definitely be leaving our beloved pup with them again in the future! They have a lovely back yard and and their six year-old husky, Jake, was very welcoming to our rambunctious 2 yr old! Buster was sad to leave and was completely exhausted (just the way we like him) when we got home. I highly recommend having Brian care for your pup while you're away!

Everything went great, we were updated throughout the entire stay. Kimberly made the entire process easy and she was very accommodating. We would definitely choose her again!
