“Paula did a fantastic job of looking after my two dogs. Also was great with updates and letting me know how my dogs were doing throughout the trip. I'll definitely be using her and her family again when I need a sitter.”
“Love the care and attention Mariella always gives my dog when I have him stay with her and her wonderful family. He’s always so excited to see them and knows he will get lots of love and play. Thanks again”
“My doggy is always so excited to see Sara! She sends plenty of videos and pictures to update me. Her home is so clean and safe for the doggy!”
“Leighla's care for our dog Bodie was wonderful from drop off to pick up and all the updates in between. She is a very thoughtful person and treated our dog like he was her own. He misses playing with his friends and can't wait to come back!”
“Norma took great care of our senior Cairn Terrier. She sent lots of sweet updates and photos, and you can tell she really cares about the pups. Communication was quick and she was really flexible with us for drop up and pick up times. We really appreciated the peace of mind while we were away.”
“If I could give Mike more than 5 Stars I totally would! He looked after Zoe, my 1yo Golden Retriever for a week while I was in Florida for vacation. Every day, Mike would send me pictures and videos and to be perfectly honest I think she was a little sad to leave! I would recommend Mike to anyone and I will definitely be using his services again!”
“We were planning a trip and knew it would be more difficult to do some of the things on our list with our dog present. So last minute, I googled to try to find a kennel in the area. I've owned dogs my entire life and have never left them somewhere else, so wanted to see what was being offered. I came across Rover and leaving her with a family instead of a kennel sounded so much better; I didn't even know this existed! Valerie got back to me promptly, confirming her availability to watch our Indie. From the moment we arrived, she was warm and welcoming, and we knew Indie would enjoy her stay. We were provided with updates, and they really enjoyed having her there. I highly recommend Valerie to care for your pup; our girl came back happy and healthy, and should we ever need someone to watch her again, we will be making Valerie our first choice !”
“We were extremely pleased using Rafael for our overnight stay for Bailey.Communication was immediate and we were sent many pictures.Bailey was very happy.”
“Adam was an amazing pet sitter for both of my dogs! They were very happy and their needs were full filled! He always send pictures and let us updated. I will definitely use his services again!”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. I’ve grown up around pets and have cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for friends and family. I live in a detached house Cambridge with a large completely fenced back yard. Your dogs can run around, play with sticks and have lots of fun. I stay at home all day and spend time with dog. I assure that your dogs won't just stay in a room by themselves. Rather, they will be loved with all the hugs and belly rubs. I’m very patient, responsible, and always willing to follow specific instructions to make sure your pet’s routine stays the same. I also make sure to give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. While I’m still gaining experience, I make up for it with genuine care, strong communication, and a commitment to treating every pet like my own. Daily Routine: Morning: Feeding (breakfast) Fresh water Short walk Afternoon: Walk or play session (especially for dogs) Midday potty break Training or enrichment activities (like puzzle toys or commands) Evening: Feeding (dinner) Final walk Grooming or cuddling time Wind-down and check-in before bed Lots of Love , Hugs and Kisses throughout the day Weekly Routine: Cleaning bedding, toys, and bowls Restocking food, litter, or other supplies Vet visits (if needed) or medication check-ins Socialization (visits to parks, playdates) In-Home Pet Sitting (Client’s Home): I maintain the pet’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule to minimize stress. I make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I provide updates (photos/videos) to the owner daily. I spend quality time playing, and engaging with the pet to keep them happy and mentally stimulated. Pet Care in My Home: I prepare a designated pet-friendly space with cozy bedding, toys, and access to food and water. I do a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure the pet feels comfortable and to introduce them to the environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including diet, and activity level. I maintain a calm and structured atmosphere to help pets feel secure during their stay. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail.
“Prashant and Apeksha took great care of our dogs. It was our first time on Rover, and we are very satisfied. They are great host, we were getting updates for everything on time. our dogs are super happy! Thanks to Prahsant and Apeksha.”
“Wenge and changhe were fantastic. I go regular updates with photos. My pup was relaxed and loving with them. I felt very comfortable with my precious dog staying with them. I will definitely use them again!!💗”
“Amazing Dog Sitter! I can’t say enough good things about Michelle & her kids Clive & Eleanor. From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. They took the time to get to know Sullys personality, routine, and quirks, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. When I drop Sully off, he hops out of the car & happily goes off with Michelle. No hesitation. Throughout the entire stay, Michelle sent regular updates and adorable photos, showing just how happy and comfortable Sully was. It was clear that they treated my dog like part of the family — with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. When I came home, my dog was relaxed, well cared for. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Leo stayed with arnav and pragati for 2 days, they kept me informed with pics without me having to ask. They took really good care of my dog and i would be booking with them only for future stays. Thank you!”
“Amazing Host. YAMINI took amazing care of our little boy. Extremely flexible and accommodating. Cannot thank you enough for all her help and patience.”
About: I have a yellow labroader who shadows me all day long. He is crate trained, vaccinated and neutered. He loves to play with other dogs. You can leave your fur baby at my care at peace. I will make sure they have a wonderful time while you are away. I have two kids-8 and 14 yrs old who love dogs. I have a fenced backyard and will take dogs for walk and play during evenings. I work from home and will be always available to attend the pet needs. Dogs will have access to backyard whenever they want and water will be available at all times. House will be always maintained at a comfortable temperature for dogs and food will be provided as per directions of pet owner. I will also provide videos and photos daily and can be contracted at any time. I have a fenced backyard and back door will be always closed. I will be at home all time so can keep an eye at them all time.

“Cindy is amazing!!! We feel SO lucky to have found her!! Lennie got to run and play, enjoyed treats and cuddles. Cindy was flexible with last minute schedule changes and even treated Lennie to some Reiki massage!”
“John was amazing with my dog Wilbur. He came home tired after lots of running around in his big yard. John responded quickly and was very understanding and accommodating when I told him about Wilbur’s reactivity. I will definitely book with him again and I recommend you do the same!”
“Maverick absolutely loves going to Stefanie’s! I love that Stefanie sends me an update on how he’s doing and also sends photos. He is so happy to go there and so tired out when he comes home. I don’t worry about him at all when he’s there, I know he’s in good hands.”
