She also got lots of love and care from Laura and her wonderful family. I highly recommend leaving your fur ball with Laura. They will be in good hands for sure. Thank you so much again Laura to you and your family for everything.”

“We left our dog Cheeto with Yanfei for almost 2 weeks while we went on vacation and he had the best time with Kyle!

Cheeto is excited for his next play date!”

“Ken is very nice and patient with Taco, and I can definitely tell that he is a true dog lover. Taco had a great time with him.

“Vanshika and Vipal are truly the best couple ever, and I could not recommend them more highly. I had never used a sitter for my dog before, so I was extremely nervous about leaving Marlo with anyone. I did not want to put him in a daycare setting—I wanted him to receive one-on-one care, attention, and love just for him. Vanshika and Vipal gave him exactly that, and they completely took away all of my fears. They treated my French Bulldog, Marlo, as if he were their own dog and a real member of their family. From the moment I left him with them, I had absolutely no stress or worry because I knew he was surrounded by love, cuddles, and care. Marlo had no anxiety while he was there, and it was clear that they made him feel completely safe and comfortable. He was him self! They went above and beyond in every way. They carefully followed his food and medication schedule, including preparing and cutting his food exactly as needed. They reached out right away whenever they had a question, kept me updated on how he was doing and behaving, and always responded incredibly quickly. We even did a trial day beforehand to make sure Marlo would be comfortable, and it was honestly the best idea. It gave me complete confidence that he was in the safest, most loving hands possible. I truly feel like I have found a second permanent home for Marlo. Vanshika and Vipal are so much more than sitters—they are family to him now. I know Marlo would be so happy to go back and spend time with them, even if he did not need to be watched. You can genuinely tell that they do this from the love in their hearts and their deep love for animals. They are both amazing people, and I would trust them with any fur baby without hesitation. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of Marlo—I know he misses you already!”

About: I offer the kind of reliability that only comes from decades of pet ownership. Having had dogs and cats in my life since childhood, I am well-versed in everything from meticulous litter box maintenance to recognizing the subtle signs of a dog’s body language. My wife and I provide a true 'home away from home' where your pet will receive constant companionship and genuine affection. We aren't just watching your pet; we are welcoming them into our home. I have a very pet-friendly routine! I am home for the vast majority of the day, only stepping out for about 2–3 hours at most. This means plenty of potty breaks, backyard playtime, and companionship for your dog or cat. My wife is also home in the evenings, so there is almost always someone around to provide cuddles and keep an eye on our furry guests. In our home, safety and exercise go hand-in-hand. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, sniff, and play under my direct supervision. I never leave guest pets unattended outdoors, ensuring they are always secure while getting their fresh air and exercise. Inside, our home is pet-proofed and calm. Because I am home for the vast majority of the day, your pet is under nearly constant supervision. When I do step out for a quick 2–3 hour window, pets are kept in a secure, comfortable area to ensure they stay safe and relaxed. We treat every guest with the same care and caution we’ve given our own pets for decades.
About: Animals have been an essential part of my life for as long as remember. Growing up, I spent nearly ten wonderful years with my grandmother’s dog. We shared an unbreakable bond—she trusted me so completely that when she gave birth to two litters, she would gently bring her newborn puppies right to me to cuddle and rest on my chest. That early experience taught me deep empathy, how to read canine body language, and how to build lasting trust with dogs. When I was in university, I welcomed my first cat into my life, and he is now nearly seven years old. He is my sweetest companion—every single night he sleeps with his head resting on my arm and kneads softly on me. Two years ago, my husband and I adopted our second cat. She is full of playful, energetic curiosity; she loves chasing after drawstrings and playing fetch with her favorite balls just like a little pup. Living with two distinct feline personalities and having a long history with dogs allows me to understand both the calm, sensitive souls and the playful, high-energy spirits. As a pet sitter, I treat every furry friend as if they were my own. I respect their individual boundaries, pay close attention to subtle behavioral or dietary cues, keep their spaces clean and safe, and always provide detailed photo and video updates so you can have complete peace of mind while away! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits easily. I can dedicate quality time to each visit for feeding, cleaning, brushing, playing, and sending thorough updates without ever rushing. Safety and reliability are always my top priorities when entering a client's home. I treat your living space with the utmost respect and care, treating your furry family members as gently and attentively as my own. During every visit, I strictly adhere to thorough safety and sanitation routines: • Door & Flight Prevention: I am extremely mindful when opening and closing main doors and windows, always double-checking that curious pets cannot slip out. • Hygiene & Sanitation: I sanitize my hands before and after touching food bowls, water dispensers, and litter boxes, ensuring fresh water, tidy feeding areas, and a spotless environment. • Respect & Communication: I respect your privacy, keep your home secure, and follow all specific instructions to the letter. After every visit, I provide prompt, detailed updates with clear photos and videos so you know exactly how your pet is doing. • Preparedness: I always confirm the contact information for your preferred local vet and emergency contacts before your departure, ensuring I am ready to respond swiftly and calmly in any unforeseen situation.
“Bo did an amazing job taking care of my cats! He sent me a lot of pics and videos throughout the day! Gave my cats extra treats while returning them to me. He is an amazing pet sitter and his dog is very friendly as well!!!”

“Ashley was kind and accommodating and quickly replied to requests. She took good care of Riley and he got along well with her dog, Nugget. They were so cute together! Thank you for the walks and the pics! Would highly recommend!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for two pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and genuinely love dogs. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 10 a.m. with plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel comfortable and safe. I’m attentive to their routines, feeding needs, walks, and individual personalities, and I treat every pet with the same care and patience as my own.
“Max and their family are amazing with my dogs. After having Niko and Milo stay with them previously, it was an easy decision to have them stay with Max again. The boys were well taken care of and adored by the family.”

“Giancarlo and Roberta took great care of our dog while we were away. They listened to every instruction, and were very organized. They communicated any issues that arouse promptly and offered a solution if needed. They went above and beyond, even giving a bath to our dog before sending her back to us! We highly recommend Giancarlo and Roberta. They are professional, responsible and caring.”

Chaochao took wonderful care of our sweet cat for 21 days and sent updates through videos and photos the entire time. We are so grateful they were in safe hands and we got to see our beloved cat while out of the country. I would recommend to anyone looking for a safe loving environment and wonderful caretaker for your cat.

My 90lbs golden stayed with Mengqj this weekend for 3 days. Mengqi took good care of our golden. I can tell she loves the bets and is taking care of the dog from her heart, than simply a part time job. The amount of details she pays attention to is amazing and Mengqi updates us daily in a timely manner I definitely would recommend Mengqi and will go back again next time our family travels out of town A huge thank you, Mengqi

My senior dog cupcake and puppy Soy had a wonderful stay with David and his partner while we were on vacation! They sent many pictures daily to update us on how they were doing. Both dogs had different needs one being senior and the other being a 5 month old puppy, and David was happy to accommodate their schedule and needs. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Nooshin! She waw caring, reliable, and attentive to our dog’s needs, making us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that our dog was in good hands and receiving lots of love and attention. Communication was great, and we really appreciated the updates and peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Nooshin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Such an amazing couple! They took wonderful care of Alfie and treated him like their own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. They’re both so kind, caring, and trustworthy. I couldn’t recommend them enough! We’ll definitely be booking with them again!

Very anxious dog mom here and there is no one else I trust my boy with other than Tom and Bethany. My dog has a had a few medical scares and I felt comfortable and at ease knowing he was with them. They sent me a lot of feedback and videos and I was able to enjoy my time out because of them, knowing my baby was very safe and that he got a lot of love and attention from them. He always comes home happy. Been a repeat customer for years. They’re the best.

I'm so glad to have found Lucy on Rover. Einstein has stayed at a fair amount of different hosts over the years, but Lucy has been the best. You can tell that she thoughtfully pays attention to Einsteins needs and moods. Ive never felt so comfortable leaving him somewhere! I always know hes in good hands, so we will continue to request with Lucy for future stays.

Ken is very nice and patient with Taco, and I can definitely tell that he is a true dog lover. Taco had a great time with him. Ken took Taco to parks and trails, and Taco was very happy spending time with him. I would definitely book with Ken again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter.

Ellie was amazing with Twix! She took such great care of him and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Twix was in good hands. Ellie is reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her take care of Twix again!

With such an athletic, intense, dog with some reactivity issues,It had been years since I had made any sort of plans that had us away for more than a few hours at a time. Maria has done such a fantastic job at easing my partner, and my dogs, separation anxiety. With great communication and lots of great pictures, Maria and her family clearly treated our puppy like their own. When it came to picking up our puppy it was wonderful to have a chat with people that loved our dog enough to pick up on her fun quirks. Freya seemed happy to stay and while we chatted kept walking back in to see them instead of trying to get back to the car and go home. I couldn’t be happier with our choice of sitter!

This was our second time using Ghazaleh for a full week of house boarding, and we couldn't be happier! It gives us total peace of mind knowing our pup is staying in a safe, loving home while we're away. The regular updates and photos were fantastic as always, and our dog came home happy and well-cared for. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable long-term care!"

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
