“Keri is wonderful! I have had the pleasure to hire her twice and she has been attentive, helpful, and comfort for me and my little kitty. I will hire her again!”
“Katelyn walks my dog weekly and also stayed overnight last minute. My dog is a bit needy and Katelyn responds so patiently to her! She sends pictures during her visit and is so kind. Leave your pets with her if you’re usually nervous about leaving them with other people like I am!!”
“Brooke is wonderful! She took such great care of our kitties while we were away. I’m so grateful we found her and will definitely use her again! 10/10 RECOMMEND!”
“Jess was amazing! She was very communicative the entire time and even sent pictures with updates. She was great with my pup and even stayed to play with her for a little bit, and ensure my dog had some food and water before leaving. Will definitely be booking with Jess again in the future!”
“Izzy did a great job with our dogs. She had confidence with are German Shepard and handled both dogs with ease. I look forward to using her services again!”
“Noemi is just the best. My fur baby just loves her and I’m so lucky I found her.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was very skeptical to be honest. Allie did great with both of my dogs. She showed up when she told me she would and she sent me pictures and notes which I appreciated very much.”
“This woman is fantastic! We highly recommend her, as do our dogs. Besides being reliable (that is not always a Rover attribute) she was so friendly and accommodating. Though we don’t currently need her help any longer, we aren’t letting her get far away ! She is a GEM!”
“***** I recently had the pleasure of having Parker step in as a substitute dog sitter, and I must say I am absolutely delighted with her service. While my regular dog sitter was unavailable, Parker seamlessly filled the role and provided exceptional care for my furry friend. From the very beginning, Parker exhibited a high level of professionalism and a true passion for dogs. Her friendly and accommodating demeanor immediately put me at ease, and I felt confident in entrusting my beloved pet to her care. Throughout her time with my dog, Parker provided regular check-ins, complete with adorable pictures and updates. It was evident that she not only cared for my dog's physical well-being but also their emotional happiness. Furthermore, Parker's punctuality and reliability were impeccable. She consistently arrived at the scheduled times and made sure that my dog's feeding and playtime adhered to our usual routine. In summary, Parker, as a substitute dog sitter on Rover, went above and beyond my expectations. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals were truly impressive. My dog not only received excellent care but also clearly enjoyed her time with Parker. I wholeheartedly recommend Parker to anyone in need of a responsible and loving dog sitter. I am grateful for her outstanding service and will undoubtedly reach out to her again in the future.”
About: I have had a dog all my life. Growing up we had Boxers. In my adult married life we have had Labrador Retrievers . These dogs have not been dogs but fur kids. I have taken them to obedience classes so I have experience in commands and working with them. I believe that fur kids need plenty of exercise on and off leashes. Dog parks are a good way to socialize them and get in exercise. In the home mind games are fun too. Sniffing out a treat to playing with toys on the floor with them. I love taking pictures and document what we do. You will know what your fur child is doing. I am currently working for home during the week day so being with them during the day works. I am able to take breaks and go on short walks. Play with them in our fenced in yard. I plan on retirement in May so I will be available 24/7, 365 days a year. I am willing to come into your home if you would feel more comfortable. If they come to my home we have a fenced in yard and will be able to play with our 2 fur boys. One is an 8 year old chocolate Labrador and the other is a 5 year old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees. Both have had other dogs come into the home and stayed with us. They love having visitors. In your home I will attend to their needs as you have outlined.
“Sara is reliable and great with my dogs! Shes good about being descriptive of how the interaction went and sending pictures while taking care of doggos. Our go to sitter!”
“I couldn't be happier with Serenity's care for my dog! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my pup like her own. It was clear she has a natural love for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. Serenity sent regular updates, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I've always been the family member my family could call on to take care of their dogs when they were out. I've walked/been walked by an energetic husky, I've looked after a blind/deaf elderly shih tzu, I've spent hours playing with a cuddly golden retriever, and now I want to help take care of your pets. My schedule is fairly free for weekday/weekend care, earlier in the morning would work better for me but if you need me to come over at the evening/night time, I'd be more than happy to do so. My drop-ins involve a quick to-do list to take care of the basics (any food bowl, water, or potty attention), followed by playtime until I can ensure your pet is happy and satisfied. If you'd like me to have some photos of your pet whether I'm doing in home care or taking them for a walk, let me know and if there's an opening, I'll gladly snap a few photos for you on my phone!
About: I love dogs and want to adopt all of them! I had a Boston Terrier who was my little shadow. Since I don't have the time to adopt a new dog, I figured pet sitting would be a great way to fill the spaces left that only dogs know how to fill. I work as a nurse at the hospital M-F 730-4. I can do drop in appointments before and after work, or could pet sit overnight. I have 2 indoor cats. I'm unsure of how they are with dogs but they get along with other cats well. If needed, I could keep the animals separated. At your home, I would follow whatever directions are given, offer some play time or snuggle time, and send updates about your pet.
“Patricia helped me out on very short notice, which was a great relief even before she began care. She provided care based on written communication, without our having opportunity to do a meet and greet. This was a first for me and my 70-pound, highly energetic dog. She pulled it off in exemplary fashion, as far as I can tell (my dog is alive and well!). She was punctual enough and, between my instructions and her intuition, there was hardly a hitch. I think you and your dog will be in very good hands.”
About: I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From group play supervision to feeding, cleaning, and administering medications, I gained experience in all aspects of pet care. I’ve also personally trained three dogs of my own—including a Great Pyrenees and a Black Lab puppy—so I’m very comfortable with everything from basic commands to crate training and leash manners. I’m confident with high-energy pups, large breeds, and dogs who may need a little extra patience. I’m currently available full-time until August 11th, so I can offer flexible and attentive care throughout the day. After that, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll still be available for evenings, weekends, and early mornings depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space, or providing extra playtime and cuddles. In my home, I create a calm and structured environment with plenty of supervision, especially during introductions with my own dogs. I’m experienced with crate training, managing group dynamics, and caring for dogs with specific behavioral needs. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give to my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.
About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals. Even the scaly ones. I have 3 cats and a dog with ptsd from their previous owner. I work nights but am more then able to adjust my schedule in order to pet sit. I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.
“Pao was amazing and did a great job. She checked in on time and sent us updates. We will definitely use her again when we have vacations! Thanks Pao!!”
About: I’ve volunteered at shelters and helped find loving homes for even wild animals from working at a wildlife sanctuary. I’ve been working with pets since I was a 17 year old. I’m currently in employed so I have all the time to care for all the pets. I have a love for active pets so if your pet is hyper I’m your person I have a fenced in yard and also have a husky mix so if you have an animal who needs a buddy to feel safe she has it covered
About: I have been in the animal care taking field for about 5 years now. I went to school to get my vet tech degree as well as working with rescues for the last 3 years. I am currently going back to school to earn my BA in wildlife conservation. I am a stay at home pet mom. We have our own building that is dedicated to our fosters and our pet sitting clients! We do 24 HR around the clock care so your fur baby will never be left alone. We do multiple walks a day (weather permitting) We have our own office space that is dedicated to our fosters and pet sitting clients, we have a fenced in dog run on the side of our building (that is shaded) and gives the perfect space for your fur babies to run, play and enjoy the outdoors. We also have three separate rooms inside set up with kennels and toys!
