“I have never felt Maggie was soooo safe and secure. She absolutely loved it in their home. I cant say thanks enough for making this such a wonderful experience for us! Mags and I love it there and will be using this connection as much as possible :)”
“We are so grateful to have found Rita M. to look after our nine-year-old Sheltie, Ella, while away on a recent two-week trip overseas. Rita is a warm, caring, and conscientious person who went above and beyond to assure us that Ella was in good hands. As Ella is not used to being left alone or away from her pet parents for long periods, we were so glad for Rita's calm and "chill" personality and Ella seemed right at home with her very quickly. We loved getting the daily updates and photos of Ella's stay with her temporary pet mom. All of Ella's daily diet and medicine requirements were duly fulfilled and she was very happy and healthy upon our return home. We would highly recommend choosing Rita as your Rover pet sitter and Ella looks forward to many future visits with her. Thanks again to Rita and Rover!”
“This is the third time I’ve left Ollie with Carol - this time it was for my wedding out of town. We had peace of mind knowing that Ollie was in such good hands with Carol and her family. Carol is so wonderful, caring, and reliable. Thank you Carol!!”
“Peanut just had her first stay with Elizabeth and Gary. What a wonderful caring couple, they adored Peanut for the weekend and Peanut was very happy and tired when I got her home. They sent me pictures throughout the day of her stay over which was sweet and she looked so happy. And were happy to work with me on any little small issues she has with being left away from us, surprisingly she had a peaceful happy weekend. I have booked her again in the summer and she is so conveniently close to where i live which is a bonus. Thankyou so much ! The Walker Family”
“Lea was amazing with my cat. He's normally very shy and hides the whole time, but she convinced him to come out! Her home is very clean and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“We knew the first time we met Joyce for a meet and greet that she was going to be an amazing caregiver for our dog, Bentley. Joyce looked after Bentley for a two-week period while we were in Europe. With frequent updates from Joyce, we were able to enjoy our trip that much more knowing Bentley was well cared for, enjoying his stay and enjoying meeting other pups Joyce cares for. Joyce was exceptionally patient with our fussy eater too. We have booked Joyce for other upcoming commitments and would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”
About: Grew up with and around dogs. My brother and his chocolate lab are moved out now. I would love to have a dog of my own one day. Hoping to fill the void until then by giving this a try. I currently work full time. I am available from 5pm onwards through out the week for walking. My home is available on weekends for sitting/overnight stays. I live in the country with a large yard and woods behind my house. Great for walks and playing. Dogs are welcome everywhere in house except bedrooms.

I only host dogs from one family at a time, making my home especially comfortable for dogs who may not enjoy a busy kennel or being around unfamiliar pets.

My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family. ❤️ I’m home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention and outdoor time.

“Michelle was great-my girl, Sadie, had a blast. Michelle kept posting pictures to me throughout the day. I could see that my girl was having fun and was being treated well. I will definitely use Michelle for any future dog stays I need.”
“Takes good care of pet. However, it is good note that she seems to take care of other dogs at the same time as far as I could ascertain … also, she has a very friendly golden retriever, which is good. My main tip to her is that she should take more videos and photos throughout the day of the babysat dog and interactions with her other dogs. Regardless of all the points mentioned above, the service isgenerally high quality. We would book her again.”
“Jake had an amazing time with Yoda! She was super kind and clearly cares about the pets she watches. She asked lots of questions to get to know more about Jake and his specific needs. I loved that she texted me updates and photos, it made me feel so at ease. I will definitely have Yoda sit for us again!!”
“William & Hilary were very professional & we were pleased with how well they took great care of our girl Lily. We would definitely use their service again in the future as Lily was very happy & cared for 🦮Thank you kindly 😊”
“It was a great experience boarding our cat here. We had great peace of mind knowing our cat was in a nice clean environment with a nice person who will give our cat 1 on 1 attention. We will definitely be boarding our cat here in the future.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Nora! She took wonderful care of Kobe over the long weekend while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nora is caring, dedicated, and attentive to the little details. We especially appreciated that she asked thoughtful questions before giving Kobe treats or making decisions about his activities. Knowing she respected his diet and our instructions gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and we loved seeing Kobe enjoying his walks, getting cuddles, and even being her little gardening assistant! He came home happy and very relaxed, which says a lot about how comfortable he felt with her. We would absolutely book with Nora again whenever she’s available and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will really care for their dog. Thank you, Nora, for making Kobe’s stay so enjoyable and allowing us to enjoy our weekend without worrying!”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing! Mocha had such a wonderful stay with her and came home happy and relaxed. Brittany sent us photos of Mocha every day and took him on a walk daily, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took such great care of him, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mocha would absolutely love to stay with her again!”
“It was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn't have lucked out more in finding Leslie and Richard to watch our dog while we were out of town for the weekend. They were so welcoming, kind and attentive, and sent lots of photos and updates. They truly catered to our dog the whole weekend and spoiled him with extra walks and treats. You can tell they really, really love dogs and treat your fur baby like their own. I would highly recommend Leslie if you are looking for a sitter in the future, and Troika is excited for his next visit! Thank you so much for everything-you truly made our trip worry free because we knew our little buddy was in such good hands.”

“I was grateful to have Raquelle come to my home to provide care for my two cats while I took a five day trip away. She was wonderful- attentive, thorough, and genuinely caring that my guys had their needs met ( food, fresh water, treats and litter scooped) and beyond! I appreciated the time she took to take and send photos of my boys ( even though they would often hide) and to provide feedback on each visit. Raquelle even emptied and reset the Litter Genie for me once it became full... and I noticed she had taken my older cat's laser toy out and tried to entice him to come out and play- very nice effort for my shy little man. I was able to get away & relax for a few days, which was absolutely great. I will definitely reach out to Raquelle for my future cat-sitting needs even if I just need to work some overtime and not a trip away. It is so great finding someone trustworthy, caring and competent!”
“Appreciated Dannie’s ability to work around my changing schedule. Dannie was terrific in responding to messages and coming out to meet the crew and go over their routines and various aspects of the house. Dannie was also terrific with the 3 cats and sent me photos and updates. They are indoor outdoor cats and she managed that well plus keeping the bird feeder topped up. Washing was done before I arrived home to a home cooked meal and some lovely flowers. I would highly recommend Dannie. A responsible and caring sitter. You will feel comfortable and confident leaving her to be in charge.”

“This was my first time leaning my dogs with Rita for the day. She was very caring and patient with them and also sent me their pictures and a video which put me at ease. Thanks again Rita!”
“Diana was fantastic with accommodating my senior dog, and welcomed her into her loving home. This service is lucky to have her, and I am fortunate to have found her. Highly recommend.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Chantel was absolutely amazing from start to finish and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. She kept us updated throughout the day, sending us the sweetest photos and videos, which meant so much to us and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated our dog like her own. This was hands down the BEST dog-sitting experience we have ever had, and we couldn’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and absolutely wonderful with your pets, look no further. We are already booked to have her dog sit again! 🐶💕”

About: I offer safe, loving in-home boarding in a calm environment with a secure backyard for supervised play. I have two friendly dogs, a mini poodle and a bichon, who are well socialized and gentle with other dogs. I keep routines consistent with regular walks, feeding schedules, and lots of attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for. My home is clean, structured, and designed to be a relaxed home away from home. If you’d like it a little more playful or a little more premium, I can adjust the tone for you 😊 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding times, and play sessions, and I’m used to maintaining consistent schedules. I work in a structured way, so I can easily incorporate drop-ins, walks, or overnight care while ensuring each dog receives focused attention and companionship. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets are supervised and never left in unsafe situations. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain clear communication, and provide updates for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.
“Amazing!! I loved how many pictures and videos Alexandria sent me it was very comforting knowing Leo was happy! She is very communicative and extremely understanding as we were running late and she was great about that! Will be going to her again 100%. Also she kept Leo busy all day so he wasnt anxious.”
“Lama was a fantastic sitter, very communicative and kind with our Blue. He came back happy and calm ☺️ Whenever we are in London again we will have 0 hesitation to book with her again.”
“Bill was terrific. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Bill was accommodating and attentive, excellent communication throughout. Would recommend Bill. Thanks for taking such great care of our furry family member.”
“Our pup Frederick spend two days with Brooke- and by the second day he was jumping with excitement to see her and her partner! He came home happy and safe. It's always a great feeling to know your fur baby is safe and happy when they can't be with you for a trip. We will be happy to leave Fred with Brooke going forward!”
“Yarinka and her family took amazing care of Rosie! They sent so many updates and photos and communicated with me frequently throughout the day. I will definitely be asking them to watch my dog again :)”
“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”
“Remi seems to very much enjoy spending time with Rugile and Eimantas! They are an active couple and take her on great adventures hiking and to the water, which she loves. After just a couple visits she happily goes to the door to greet and stay with her new friends. I am very grateful to have found these lovely pet sitters. I am heading to Europe this summer and it is so reassuring to know she will be safe, happy and well cared for.”

About: Hey - I'm Virginia, and I would be honored to help take care of your pet!

I have the most experience with dogs, including formal dog training skills, working at various veterinary clinics and of course, lots of dog walking.

I ensure they are hydrated and not stressed. I also maintain a calm demeanor, and I am very proactive in making decisions for their comfort and safety. For boarding, my house is very quiet, which would be a plus for any dogs who have reactivity.

About: Raised on a farm caring for dogs, I’ve taken them boating and fishing, and they always enjoy taking me on long, happy walks wherever we go. I’m their thunderstorm protector and the king pin of snuggle time on every visit. I work from home and my wife is always here, so pets get constant attention. Our days start with walks and end relaxing together outside in our yard. Raised on a farm, I create a safe, calm home for overnight care. We also happily visit other homes for pet relief, keeping routines steady and stress‑free.

About: Growing up we had various pets to take care of and learn responsibility for so my love of animals started young. I have over the years done drop in visits, overnight stays at your home as well as having your pet at my own place. Each pet is unique and their care should reflect that. I have cared for senior animals with various medication requirement as well as puppies just finding their bearings. I appreciate the simplicity of going for a walk and believe that having a dog alongside yo u enhances the experience. I currently work shift work with 5 days off at a time so my schedule fluctuates, but allows for an ample amount of free time to be adjusted for your needs. Prior to care, I would discuss with you the pet's schedule and routine as well as their needs to ensure they get the proper care. This would also include any additional information about your pet for situational circumstances and their personality. While your animal is in my care I do provide updates to give peace of mind.

I may not be able to get time off of my part-time job when staying in a client’s home so I hope it is okay if I am gone for 4-8 hours in the evening for a couple of the evenings, if it falls on the days I am scheduled. I have always made sure to time out feeding and walks according to my work schedule when needed.

I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I’ll send regular photos and updates during their stay so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Lea was amazing with my cat. He's normally very shy and hides the whole time, but she convinced him to come out! Her home is very clean and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“We knew the first time we met Joyce for a meet and greet that she was going to be an amazing caregiver for our dog, Bentley. Joyce looked after Bentley for a two-week period while we were in Europe. With frequent updates from Joyce, we were able to enjoy our trip that much more knowing Bentley was well cared for, enjoying his stay and enjoying meeting other pups Joyce cares for. Joyce was exceptionally patient with our fussy eater too. We have booked Joyce for other upcoming commitments and would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”
About: Grew up with and around dogs. My brother and his chocolate lab are moved out now. I would love to have a dog of my own one day. Hoping to fill the void until then by giving this a try. I currently work full time. I am available from 5pm onwards through out the week for walking. My home is available on weekends for sitting/overnight stays. I live in the country with a large yard and woods behind my house. Great for walks and playing. Dogs are welcome everywhere in house except bedrooms.
“Angela and her family did an excelent job taking care of my dog. I appreciate the many pictures and videos they sent to me. They did not hesistate extending the care when needed. Thanks!”
“Wonderful people with excellent communication and we were extremely happy at how well our two little ladies were taken care of while we were away for 12 days!”
“Jake had an amazing time with Yoda! She was super kind and clearly cares about the pets she watches. She asked lots of questions to get to know more about Jake and his specific needs. I loved that she texted me updates and photos, it made me feel so at ease. I will definitely have Yoda sit for us again!!”
“William & Hilary were very professional & we were pleased with how well they took great care of our girl Lily. We would definitely use their service again in the future as Lily was very happy & cared for 🦮Thank you kindly 😊”
“Mohiny & Lucas O. were the best puppy sitters ever!! We met for a meet and greet and connected with them right away - we just knew they would take exceptional care of our pet. Their genuine love of animals was evident from the start. Our pet was very happy with them and enjoyed all the walks she took with Mohiny & Lucas O. Mohiny & Lucas O. sent us lots of pictures of our pet in action and kept us very well informed about how she was eating, resting, and playing throughout her time with them. We would happily have them look after our pet anytime knowing that she will be very well cared for and loved. Thank you, Mohiny & Lucas!!”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing! Mocha had such a wonderful stay with her and came home happy and relaxed. Brittany sent us photos of Mocha every day and took him on a walk daily, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took such great care of him, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mocha would absolutely love to stay with her again!”
“It was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn't have lucked out more in finding Leslie and Richard to watch our dog while we were out of town for the weekend. They were so welcoming, kind and attentive, and sent lots of photos and updates. They truly catered to our dog the whole weekend and spoiled him with extra walks and treats. You can tell they really, really love dogs and treat your fur baby like their own. I would highly recommend Leslie if you are looking for a sitter in the future, and Troika is excited for his next visit! Thank you so much for everything-you truly made our trip worry free because we knew our little buddy was in such good hands.”
“During Zoey’s 13 day sleepover lots of updates, pictures and videos were provided. When she returned home there were no signs of stress and best I can tell she enjoyed her time away from home. Highly recommended and hopefully Zoey gets to visit again!”
“This was the third time Opus has stayed with Leslie. We have always been very happy to leave him in her care. We enjoy and appreciate that Leslie communicates so well ... lots of photos and updates to let us know how it is going. We wouldn't think twice about leaving Opus with Leslie in the future!”
“Sadie was absolutely amazing! She took care of Bentley this weekend like he was her own. She didn't just watch him—she kept him entertained, gave him so much love, and made sure he felt completely at home. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I cannot recommend Sadie enough and will definitely be asking her to watch Bentley again! 🐾❤️”
