“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“I usually use Rover's boarding option, however, I wasn't able to find anyone in close proximity during this busy summer. With this being my first time using the house sitting service, I was nervous about leaving my dog and opening my home to someone I had just barely met. However, Mahle made this experience less stressful. We established a meet and greet a few days after I initially requested the days I needed a sitter for my dog. She responded promptly to my messages and showed up right on time. She was friendly, interacted and played with Koa as we discussed Koa's schedule and personality. When we were away, I did have to message her to see how everything was going and she responded quickly with updates of my dog and a picture. She was very respectful of my property and most importantly I came home to a happy dog. I feel more at ease using this Rover option and will definitely ask Mahle if she can sit for my dog in the future. Thank you, Mahle!!”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“Brianna is a godsend and a true joy! So knowledgeable, patient, understanding, & kind. My 1 year old lab has lots of puppy energy and she is well versed in handling all doggy personalities. She is timely with responses and bookings and truly goes the extra mile with everything she does from understanding your dog's needs to taking care of your home in your absence. She keeps you informed with updates and photos of your fur babies and ensures your home is clean & tidy. It was wonderful returning to my house completely in order and my doggies relaxed from playtime. Wholeheartedly recommend and am looking forward to having her as my go-to for sitting with my babies!”
“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”
“We loved having Riley watch Daisy! She gave great updates and took Daisy on some fun adventures and Daisy loved spending the weekend with Snowy.”
“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”
“Heather has watched my doggie and cat 2x. They are great, sends me lots of pictures and updates. Keeps the house super clean. Simply the best.”
“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”
About: I work from home so this allows me to give a lot of time and care to your pup. I am happy to take your pup along with me on my multiple walks per day and play in the yard. My son and I take a lot of joy out of hosting dogs and have so much fun with our Rover guests! Please note the dogs in our pictures do not reside with us and will not be present in our home when we have puppy guests. We only host one guest at a time (unless it’s a family pair). We would love to host your pup if it is house trained, friendly to all humans and other dogs, and does not have any history of aggression, separation anxiety or destructive / behavioral issues as we would not be equipped to handle. Meet and greet prior to boarding is our request to ensure a great experience for all. Thank you in advance for your transparency on these requirements! I work from home and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.
“Nikki was amazing!! I have a small farm without a farm, haha. All five of my animals really liked her. Even the super shy one. Nikki sent pictures and daily updates. Highly recommend and will absolutely use her again!! Thank you!”
“Jess was wonderful! She cuddled with my pets, took them for walks, loved on them, and sent me lots of pictures! Cant wait to have her watch them again!”
“Faux was amazing! This was our first time using Rover for an overnight stay, and she immediately put us at ease. She took the time to stop by and meet us and Ms. Rose’ beforehand, which meant a lot. Rose’ is a senior dog, and Faux made sure she was well cared for every step of the way.(Including her multiple pills she takes). She kept us updated with photos and texts, so we always knew Rose’ was in loving, capable hands. I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, but now I know Rose’ has a wonderful new friend who truly cares for her. I highly recommend Faux to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter — whether it’s just a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. Thank you again, Faux for going above and beyond — and Rose’ thanks you too!”
“We needed a dog sitter for our 2 Chihuahuas after booking a short last minute trip. Chang responded right away, and even came for a meet and greet that night. Chang sent lots of pictures, and followed our dogs complicated feeding instructions. She was very sweet with them, and took her time with their separation anxieties. I would definitely ask Chang to sit for us again in the future.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. I’ve been a foster parent for HAR-failed 2x! I love cats & dogs. My house is full – but I have room in my heart! I have cared for sick animals, including administering medication’s and sub Q IV fluids. I work from home, have a flexible schedule and I’m able to accommodate most needs and temperaments. I work from home Monday through Friday typical business hours. My schedule is flexible so I can accommodate most needs. I’m available weekends, holidays, etc. I always provide care per client’s directives. I do adjust my style based on animal temperament. I do all that I can to foster a positive and loving interaction with your pets.
“Judith communicated quickly and professionally with me from reservation to her overnight stay. She kept me informed at every step. Also she did a great job taking care of my dog. I would book her again easily. Thanks Judith.”
“Brooke was very good with our puppy, he loved her. She took care of him very well. ♥️♥️”
“Taylor is fanatic. Our animals seem to love her. She is very accommodating with my crazy schedule and always provides pleasant pics of the happy pups.”
About: I am a huge lover of dogs and always have been. I grew up with pets all my life and believe they make a difference in the home. Their presence alone adds so much joy and the companionship they provide is unmeasurable. I have a beautiful littler girl and we have time on the weekends to dog sit and give them a whole lot of love hugs and kisses. We have a handsome lab/boxer who loves other dogs and people. He plays well with everyone and anything! Especially kids!!! I work full time during the week - days Monday through Friday. Free on weekends as I don't work on weekends! If I do have to work on weekends, I will know in advance. I have crates if needed to separate my dog and your dog if need be for time out. I have closed in front porch and a dog runner in back yard!
“Kristen was great! She took care of my pup through some rough storms and helped keep her calm. Communicated with some cute pics as well. Also took the trash out when she was done with house sitting which she didn’t need to do! Would definitely recommend her :)”

Molly looked after Watson at our house for a week and we couldn’t be happier. The house was well cared for and clean when we got home and Watson was happy and full of energy. We got lots of pictures and communication was super easy. Would happily recommend Molly to others!
Rachael was wonderful! It was our first time having her sit overnight with Sunni and I could not have asked for more! Lots of check ins, photos and videos showing clearly Sunni didn’t miss me at all ! Will be using Rachael again sefinitely!

We had a great experience with Taylor! She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was clear and consistent. She was also very respectful of our home—we came back to everything just as we left it. So happy to find another great sitter in the area!
Amber took such good care of our high energy dog while we were away for the weekend, walked her multiple times an day, and sent me lots of photos. I really appreciated the updates because I missed our dog while we were away, but Amber was good company that I don’t think our dog missed us!
Courtney was amazing! Highest marks all around! It’s a great feeling to be able to go away and know that your pups are in great hands! She’s super attentive and responsive and provided tons of updates and pics? Came home to happy pups and no issues! Couldn’t be happier!
Kristen was wonderful with our two yorkies! Very communicative and caring - would love to entrust them in her care anytime :)
Tami was absolutely fantastic! She took exceptional care of both our senior dog and our home while we were away. She kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. We came back to a spotless house and, most importantly, a happy and well-cared-for pup. It was such a relief to know everything was in great hands—highly recommend!
Jennifer goes above and beyond! She went out of her way to help us when we needed last-minute care for our dog. And she does it all with kindness and great communication. My dog and I are so lucky to have found her!
Camden is great! She was easy to communicate with and sent updates on my girls while I was away. She even put her sheets in the wash and ran the dishwasher!
