“Rachael took such great care of Lenny. We couldn’t be happier. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Lenny with her again. Finding someone to look after our dog was always difficult until now! Thank you so much Rachael!”

My home has a fenced back yard and guests will be able to hang out on the furniture or sleep in bed. I have taken a cainine first aid course so I can deal with any emergencies and have experience in dispensing medications when needed. Dog sitting is my full time job so your dog will never need to be alone. I am available to watch your companions any day of the week. I have a fenced back yard that is secure. I have taken a cainine first aid course to keep your family member safe and an able to administer medications if needed.
“Norma and Bill provided wonderful care to our elderly anxious dog. They sent us updates and photos throughout the week away which put our minds at ease. We will definitely use them again if needed.”
“Finding Heather was a stroke of luck! We left our beloved dog with her for three days, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Knowing our dog suffers from anxiety, we were worried, but Heather proved to be an absolute natural. She showed incredible patience and an immediate understanding of how to make our dog feel secure and happy. The detailed communication was fantastic—we loved getting the messages and pictures! It was clear how much personal attention and love she was giving. If you are looking for a sitter who will treat your dog with genuine affection and provide expert care, look no further! We are incredibly happy with the service and have already planned to return. Highest possible recommendation!”
“Faye was great !!!! She took the best care of Bailey and Brio giving me daily updates and photos. She ensured they were both safe and well taken care of. I will be using her again for both my fur babies”
“Anchana did such an excellent job! We were especially grateful for her patience with Teddy seeing that he is a puppy and has occasional accidents. Plus, she went over and beyond and surpassed our expectations! She’s a keeper!”
“It was our first time to use Rover so we weren’t sure how it was gonna go. Arlene did amazing with our senior dog (blind & deaf). She was so patient with him. Our dog usually gets really stressed in the past at the kennel but it looked like Snoopy has an amazing time with Arlene. Thank you Arlene!”
“Holly and Jerome did a fantastic job watching my dogs. There were lots of photo updates in which they looked very happy playing in their backyard. They were able to accommodate keeping my dogs separate from their own as well for the entire week. They were so much happier than staying at a kennel for a week. Thank you!”
“Sam is a perfect dog-sitter. She and her fiancé welcomed Molly and made her so comfortable despite being an anxious dog. I couldn’t have chosen a better fit! Sam met with us prior to our booking to get to know us and see Molly in person. We so appreciate her amazing experience!”
“Vanessa was wonderful! Sent me lots of pictures and updated me throughout the stay. She was very accommodating when I needed to pick my puppies later than intended. I highly recommend her”
“Always appreciate having Tia and family take care of our boston terrier as a regular customer. He's always eager to run into their home, get comfortable and always comes back home happy.”
“Siddharth and his family took exceptional care of our dog, Chewie, while we were away on a two-week vacation. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease knowing Chewie was in such loving hands. We received regular updates with photos, and Chewie looked genuinely happy and relaxed in every single one. We were also kept informed about how well he was eating and what his days looked like, which we truly appreciated. One of the biggest signs of how well he was cared for was when we picked Chewie up—he wasn’t overly excited to see us, which honestly said it all. It was clear he felt comfortable, secure, and loved in their home. The photos showed Chewie interacting with all members of the family, including even the tiniest new additions, which was incredibly heartwarming. Siddharth and his family are true dog lovers—possibly even more than we are, which we didn’t think was possible! We couldn’t have asked for a better home for Chewie while we were away, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.”
“So thankful for Liliana and her husband who gave my parent’s old kitty a safe loving place to live for 10 days while we got them moved to a new place. They welcomed Miss Zoey into their home and sent me regular photo updates about her well-being. These people are kind, communicative, and reliable. I highly recommend them for your pet-sitting needs.”
“Home away from home for our dog !!!! Surbhi & Tushar are wonderful people. They take care of your pet (big or small) like their own. They make sure your pet eats on time, has good playtime and rest time. Regular updates were so helpful in knowing our dog was happy and enjoying his time with them. If you want to be stress-free and not worry about your pet even for a second, board them with these 2 amazing humans and their little cute dog, Taco.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and a proud dog mom to a beautiful, extremely friendly and social Bernedoodle who knows over 10 tricks (he’s basically a little genius). I’ve also babysat friends’ dogs many times and genuinely love spending time with all kinds of pups. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels at home and happy. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind. That’s why I’m big on photo updates, daily check-ins, and keeping you in the loop. Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—I work from home, so I’m around all day to give dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My own pup keeps me active and on a consistent schedule, so adding another furry friend to the mix is an easy (and fun!) fit for our day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I do slow, supervised introductions with my own friendly, well-trained dog and stick to each pup’s routine to help them feel at home. My space is clean, calm, and dog-friendly, and I provide regular updates so you always know your pet is safe and happ
“Kumudini has done an excellent and exceptional job taking care of Lily for a month. Lily was emotionally attached during her stay with Kumudini and the regular updates through photos and videos made us understand how she was well taken care of. Kumudini takes a keen interest to understand every minute detail of the pet that she cares for and helps them adapt very well with the surroundings. She is a genuine pet lover and pet mom who would go over and beyond to take care of the pets entrusted to her I and would highly recommend her for her services! Thank you so much Kumudini for taking care of Lily as a member of your family. We were lucky to have you to care for our darling girl!”
“Qian welcomed our fur baby into her home on very short notice and she made Finnegan feel right at home! With a warm welcome, genuine love for dogs and quality care, we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. Most importantly, we felt at ease leaving him with her ... highly recommend her pet care services! Excellent!”
“Heather was absolutely amazing and so kind. She took care of my babies like her own. She helped me when I was going through a really hard time. My fur babies were very happy to stay with Heather. She went above and beyond. We will definitely visit Heather again if she will have us.”

Kazi is an amazing dog sitter. Our Rosie always comes back from her home very healthy and happy. We know we can trust our beloved fur baby in the hands of someone so kind and compassionate towards animals. Kazi gives multiple updates and pictures of our dog during the time she is with the sitter. We can rest assured that all is well and that Rosie is in good care. 5 stars for a wonderful experience.
Kripa was truly fantastic with our Murphy, as always. We were so thrilled to find her again on Rover and knew that Murphy would be well looked after. She sent lots of pictures and videos of him having a wonderful time, and we could tell that he thoroughly enjoyed himself. She gave us a full rundown of his stay, and the overall experience, including all the Murphy-isms.
Melissa provided great care for our dog Sadie! She sent us pictures throughout her visit which was wonderful. Even though Sadie has some anxiety away from us, she settled in after awhile and Melissa really seemed to want her to feel comfortable. Once Sadie came back home we could tell she was well cared for and happy. Thank you so much for taking great care of our girl!
I’m so glad I booked with Noor! My cat was comfortable with her immediately, I think she was really drawn to her calm demeanour. Noor sent photos and updates so I could see that my baby was happy and in good hands, which made me feel so much better about leaving her. She even went out of her way to help us with medication! I would definitely book with her again if the opportunity arose. Thanks, Noor :)
This was Axel’s first time boarding with Kayla - Lea. She did a great job with him. The pictures she sent of him while we were away, gave us peace of mind because he looked quite comfortable and happy. He boarded with her picked for 8 days. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her services in the future.
William and Margie are AMAZING!!!! We felt so comfortable knowing our boy Hugo was so well taken care of. We received daily updates and that made us happy. Highly recommend them!!! They are absolutely beautiful people and truly love your dog like theirs. Thank you sooo much!!!!!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We couldn't have asked for a better Rover sitter! From the moment we started talking to Zehra, it was obvious how patient, kind, and genuinely caring she is. She is truly the BEST —so calm, encouraging, and completely tuned in to what was needed. Throughout the entire week, she kept us updated with so many photos, videos and messages, which made being away from our pup so much easier. We never once had to wonder how he was doing. He was so happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. Her husband was absolutely wonderful too, and together they made my pup feel like part of their family. Also, their pup and cat are just the sweetest - so calm and well-mannered. We will absolutely see her again and can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our happy little guy. ❤️

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
