“Bridget was so easy to coordinate with and did a fantastic job taking care of Watson for a 3 night visit. Really great communication before and during the stay. Her dogs were super friendly and welcoming of Watson in their space right from the start which gave me good peace of mind while he was there. He literally didn’t want to leave when I picked him up so I think that says it all :) Thanks Bridget!”
“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”
“We are so lucky to have found Dian! She is excellent with the dogs and they are always so excited to see her. Her yard is fenced in and the dogs can run and play as much as they want. We had a few “get to know you” play dates prior to overnight boarding. Now the dogs call her “Grandma Dian.” You will love her too!”
“Erin did a great job watching my 13 year old little old dog at her house while I was on vacation. I have my vacation booked for next year and I would definitely use her again for that! Her whole family absolutely adored him and took such great care of him. Thank you so much!!”
“This was my first experience utilizing Rover. We initially had a meet and greet and I knew my puppy was in good hands. I appreciated the videos and pictures and seeing my puppy interact with his family and other pets. I would certainly use David again and really feel fortunate that I picked the right sitter for our dog.”
“Our dogs seemed to have had a great time! They came home and napped all day so they must've enjoyed playing with the other dogs haha We appreciated getting updates and pictures all weekend!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!
“Christiana was great! Our two dogs seemed to enjoy their time there & especially loved being able to run around in the backyard! She sent us pictures and updates throughout and was very responsive when I checked in with her!”
“Katelyn and Andria were fantastic! They kept me updated on my pup throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them!!”
About: Big or small, shy or energetic, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I’m an experienced, reliable pet caregiver who treats every pet like family. I currently work part-time from home! I am available for midday check-ins, and evening routines. Some days I am even available for mornings! My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate most routines with a bit of notice. I can also offer in home day care or overnight stays in my home with enough notice! Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home! I have 2 of the best Golden Retrievers who love to play. I provide a fun, clean, and pet-friendly space where your dog can relax, play, and feel safe. There’s plenty of room to roam, comfy spots for naps inside and out, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. We have a fenced in yard as a bonus!
“This was my first time ever using rover and Alison made me feel so comfortable with leaving Wubbie with her, her family and furry friends!! She kept me updated with pictures of Wubbie throughout her stay and made Wubbie feel right at home! I would highly recommend her to watch over your pup!”
About: My family has always had a pack of dogs, varying sizes and breeds. I began walking them when I was 5. We have owned 5 Newfoundlands throughout the years so I am plenty comfortable with XL breeds. Do not be discouraged by my small size! Since many of my dogs have been rescues, I have experience with reactive, anxious dogs and medication administration. Most of my dog sitting experience also included horse farm care, with 50+ horses to care for alongside their dogs and cats. Being pregnant now, I am looking to help walk and check in on your pets while you’re away! I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets so I give my best efforts as if they are my own! I am working my own schedule around my horses so my availability is flexible for you and your pets! I will meet your needs and adjust my schedule accordingly. At a client’s home, I will follow instructions exactly and ensure we are on the same page. Whether it includes feeding times, walking path, litter cleaning, medications or crating. I will match the routine you give me! Please do share what cues and rules you want kept consistent, I will happily match you!
“Tom and Tolley took excellent care of Kirby and sent pictures every day. I had no question that Kirby was in great care and was loving his “vacation”. This was our first experience with Rover and we chose the best sitters! We will definitely use them again.”
“Allison took great care of Emma!! She took her on lots of walks, got her used to playing with other puppies and taught her some good manners. Emma is a much better behaved pup after staying with Allison and her family. Thank you so much.”
“We can't say enough about Margaret and the care she took of our beloved dog, Maisy. She sent many updates wih great pictures and we felt so comfortable that we had left our dog , for only the second time, in he care. Her dog and cat were also so welcoming to our dog which made her first experience with other pets a great one. We highly recommend Margaret to take wonderful care of your dog too.”
“Sandra did a great job taking care of our two dogs! We could tell she had bonded with both of them- even the grumpy one! She also sent us pics to let us know they were settling in. They loved her yard, and we could tell they had gotten lots of attention. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Derek to watch your dog while you are away! He took great care of my precious dog Lola! He made sure she ate well, exercised a lot and felt comfortable in his home. Derek provided daily photos and videos to me that calmed my fears of leaving her and being so far away. His dogs are very friendly and welcomed Lola into their environment. I really think she enjoyed her vacation more than me and had such a good time! She has been sleeping the next day away much like I feeling like doing!”

Any time I’m out of town or need a pop in visit she has been more than willing and genuinely enjoys spending time with my pups! There was one time one of my dogs was not acting normal and she immediately let me know and didn’t hesitate to take him to the emergency vet. Thanks to her quick thinking, he got the care he needed. She went above and beyond, and I’ll never forget that!! Sami is simply the best!”
