“Kadi was an outstanding caretaker of my pup Billie. She is a great communicator and a really warm and caring person. I didn’t worry at all about Billie while she was in Kadi’s care. I got lots of pictures and multiple updates each day. She kept her active and happy. I will definitely book with Kadi again.”
“Thank you for watching our whole tribe of fur babies. I appreciate the coordinated and organized drop-off and pick up. We received updates throughout their stay and everybody came home safe.”
“We had such a great experience with Andrew and Linh! They took our dog on daily walks, gave him lots of playtime, and sent so many photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was so nice to see how happy and comfortable he was with them while we were away. They have a very sweet dog as well and was a great buddy for our dog during his stay! We would absolutely recommend them and use them again!”
“I had a great experience with Cody and would absolutely book with him again. Throughout my dog’s 6-night stay, I received updates and photos on days 1, 3, and 5, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog can be pretty anxious, especially in new environments, but Cody handled him with patience and care. When I picked him up, I could clearly tell he had grown comfortable and even formed a bond with Cody, which says a lot. He was nervous at drop-off, but it was reassuring to see how much more relaxed and at ease he was by the end of his stay. Cody created a safe, welcoming environment and was easy to communicate with throughout the process. I really appreciated the attention given to my dog’s needs and overall well-being. Thank you again for taking good care of him—I’d definitely trust Cody with my pup in the future.”
“Abby always takes great care of my chihuahua. She’s very communicative and was super flexible and understanding when my flight got delayed and Buster had to stay longer than anticipated. Highly recommend!”
“What an amazing host family! Tanuja took all the appropriate steps to make me and spice feel welcome and comfortable with this being a first time host. We had a meet and greet so both dogs could get comfortable with each other and after that moved towards hosting. She kept me well informed and was very thorough with making sure she had everything to care for spice. I would definitely book again with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who asked.”
“Another visit with Angelina and my dogs seem very well cared for and content. She is great with communicating and sharing photos. It is a huge relief to know my dogs are in good hands when I am away from them. I can tell she pays attention to them and that means a lot. I highly recommend Angelina!”
“Kate is amazing! I am always a little anxious about leaving Downey with other people, but Kate made sure he had the best time. She is attentive and patient and answers quickly. She followed all the instructions well and sent videos and photos every day. Her availability and flexibility to take care of Downey for us again during the Holidays saved our lives after weeks of looking for an available and affordable sitter. As long as Kate is available, I'll not look for another sitter again. I 100% recommend her!!”
“Sam totally and completely exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter and caregiver! Honestly, I was nervous about using Rover to find someone to watch our pit mix, Thelma Lou. She's a rescue and we're the third (and final!) home she's had, so we knew we didn't want to board her at a traditional facility. We also weren't sure how she would get along with other dogs. When we first reached out to Sam, I told her that we were open to boarding, but would prefer to have her drop in on Thelma. Sam really encouraged us to board Thelma with her and after our meet-and-greet, we were convinced! Sam was so positive, patient, and caring with our girl. And she did awesome at helping Thelma socialize with her dogs! Where Sam truly went above and beyond, was helping us make our wedding day special! The reason we had initially reached out was to have her watch Thelma Lou for our wedding. We had originally wanted to have her be a part of our ceremony, but ultimately decided that it would be too overwhelming for her. We then decided that we'd like to have her in our photos and Sam suggested that we add on a pick-up/drop-off service. Sam drove 45+ minutes (with today's insane gas prices!) to bring Thelma up to our venue for about an hour of pictures. She did such a good job and even brought toys and extra treats to get Thelma's attention and winning smiles! Bonus! Sam is taking classes to become a trainer - and it shows in the way she works with her pets. We will DEFINITELY be working with her again in the future! Thank you, Sam!”
“Catherine was very good to Mojo! It’s always a little nerve wracking to leave your pup at a new place for the first time, but Catherine made my dog feel right at home. I would definitely use her again for dog sitting.”
About: As both a lifelong dog owner and a healthcare professional, I bring compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. Growing up with dogs — and now being completely obsessed with my own — has taught me how important routine, safety, and genuine affection are. My background in healthcare means I’m dependable, highly attentive, and comfortable handling special instructions or medical needs. Your pet’s well-being and comfort will always be my top priority. Your dog will be treated like family, with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently have a hybrid work schedule I would be gone working Monday-Wednesday for up to 4 hours total in the mornings between 8am and 12pm but home with dogs the rest of the day after that. I work fully remote Thursdays and Fridays and then home all weekend. If I do have to leave or run errands I make sure dogs are not alone for too long and have never left my dog alone for more than 5 hours max. I have a large fenced in yard and 2 dogs who love to run and play. There is no furniture that is off limits, dogs are allowed anywhere they would like. Caring for the pet would mean working around the dogs schedule and routine. Dog would receive lots of exercise, treats and cuddles.
“We had one of the best boarding experiences on Rover! We had a sudden change of trip plan that put us in a tight scheduling spot but Tara and her family were extremely kind to accommodate a last-minute request for boarding our five-year-old Border Collie. Our family was able to enjoy our trip worry-free trip due to Tara's frequent text updates about Astor, accompanied by photos and videos of him looking relaxed and happy. We look forward to visiting Tara and her family again!”
“Finn’s stay with Rebecca and Jim was so easy! She sent photos every day of him doing all of his favorite things and made sure we had nothing to worry about. They cared for Finn like he was their own pup. He will definitely be back.”
“Anirudh did a wonderful job taking care of our Luna! He was very caring, responsible, and attentive to her needs. We felt completely comfortable knowing Luna was in good hands while we were away. He kept us updated and treated Luna with so much love and care. We truly appreciate everything he did and would definitely recommend Anirudh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We would happily have him take care of Luna again! 🐾❤️”
“We were so happy with all aspects of working with Rebecca. From communicating with her about our booking, our meet and greet, to the care and love she gave our dog while we were away, everything was easy and wonderful. Rebecca is a gem!”

Olivia was so incredibly sweet and patient with Nala! She went above and beyond by meeting with me several times before our trip to make sure Nala felt as comfortable as possible in a new environment. She also communicated frequently throughout the weekend and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my girl! Olivia’s love for animals is so evident, and I’m so grateful we found her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with genuine love, patience, and care! ❤️🐾
Another visit with Angelina and my dogs seem very well cared for and content. She is great with communicating and sharing photos. It is a huge relief to know my dogs are in good hands when I am away from them. I can tell she pays attention to them and that means a lot. I highly recommend Angelina!
Krystle was so great and patient with my dog Dobby. He was really scared of going down her stairs, and it took over an hour to get him comfortable enough to go up and down with confidence. Krystle was patient and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I cannot thank her enough for being so good to him! Would recommend 10/10.
Susan and her husband Alan are amazing! They took incredible care of our two dogs, gave them so much love & attention and provided tons of cute updates frequently throughout my dogs’ stay. It was so comforting knowing my dogs were in excellent hands! I can’t imagine leaving my pups anywhere else!
Sydney took exceptional care of our 7yr. old, mini golden doodle. She is prompt, courteous and wonderfully warm with people and pets alike. From our first meeting, I knew our dog was in great hands, which made our time away relaxing and worry-free. Her communication and photo updates were top-notch throughout the stay. This was our dog's first time staying with Sydney and we look forward to booking with her again!
"I am so glad I found her to watch Simba! She provided amazing in-home care, took him out for great walks, and sent wonderful photo updates that gave me complete peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and professional. I felt so relieved knowing Simba was safe and happy in his own home. I will definitely be booking her again!"
I highly recommend Rachael for dog sitting. She took the best care of Gatsby - she sent pictures daily and took him for lots of walks.Now that he is home, I can tell that he misses hanging out with her goldendoodle, Rosie. They were very cute together. Thanks, Rachael!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Berkley home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Berkley.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
