“Abishek & Karishma We’re wonderful sitters for Frank and Ruby. Constant photo and video updates letting us know my furbabies were well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone looking for help!”
“Thanks Amy for watching Mochi for the weekend. Mochi is very anxious and has separation anxiety and Amy was very patient with him. I recieved detailed updates including photos and videos. Mochi came home tired and exhausted from a fun weekend vacation. Looking forward to booking with Amy again.”
“Rory had a great time with Carolina and Enuar. I usually would have liked to see their space during the meet and greet, which is a standard practice of mine. Otherwise, i would fully recommend Carolina and Enuar.”
“Rie is awesome. She is really kind and responsive. Thank you Rie for taking such good care of my furry baby! Wishing you a great summer!! My puppy will be sure to want to come back!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nikita as the sitter for my fur baby, Yoshi. She was incredibly patient and loving, which made a world of difference for us. Yoshi can be a bit anxious at times, but Nikita remained calm and patient, ensuring he felt comfortable and secure throughout his stay. Her genuine affection for animals was evident, and I appreciated the regular updates and photos and videos she provided, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Nikita to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Yoshi!”
“Anita and Matt were amazing with our French bulldog Donut! We mostly communicated with Anita and she was excellent about taking in all the details of Donut’s care. We got updates with photos and could see that she was comfortable and well taken care of. We’ve already booked with them for future dog sitting!”
“Vicky and Jay are provided excellent boarding services for my two cats. They were attentive to my requests, including grooming, which proved to be very convenient. The cats settled in very easily. They seemed to enjoy their boarding time so much that I was afraid they might not want to come home :-). I will definitely board my cats with Vickt and Jay again the next time I go on a trip.”
About: I love dogs and would love to cuddle and pet your dogs! I adopted 2 shih tzu dogs that i cared for since they were born, they are now 6 y/o. I cared for 5 small dogs in one home (3 males and 2 females). I’m currently working from home and have a lot of time in my hands. I am available for boarding in one pet at a time. I have two shih tzus, they are friendly with other small dogs, but scared of large ones. There’s a park behind our condo where dogs can play and have long walks.
“We literally cannot say enough about how good the care was for our 2 frenchies! Carrie and family took amazing care of them with frequent walks and play. I never once had to ask how they were doing as Carrie provided multiple updates everyday with lots of pictures and videos. We highly recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat! Can't thank her enough for the stress free 2 weeks she provided us!”
“this has been my 3rd or 4th time with Maria. She and her daughter really love and take great care of Oreo. I could tell from their photos and videos that Oreo also enjoyed staying with them. I would highly recommend them for dogsitting, and I wouldn't hesitate having them take care of Oreo again.”
“Liz was an amazing dog sitter! Appa had a great time spending a week with her. He made lots of new friends during the stay and was saddened when his vacation ended. Liz took great pictures everyday and let me know about his adventures. Appa seemed to have alot of fun and was smiling every single day. I was notified when Appa didn't finish his food on his first day and also when he was revitalized the second day. Will definitely book again with her if I get the chance!”
“Yuna had a great time with Arushi!! I completely recommend her and her partner as pet sitters. My Yuna had a wonderful balance of chill time and play and the regular photos and videos kept me at ease. As a bonus, Yuna had a lot of fun with their dog!!”

Book with Diana for my dog as a test if both can survive with each other. They get along well and the day went smoothly. Diana knows how to take care of a dog. My dog was having an upset stomach which affects her poop. D took care of my fur baby like her own daughter. Wash her fur with warm water. She let her do her business on time as instructed. D walk a mile to make sure my fur baby is comfortable and feel at home. Highly recommended.
My dogs were so happy. You know the pups are content when the picture your sitter sends you is of your dogs on their backs spread out on the couch with their legs straight up in the air, napping away, no worries. Alia was great with communication and response time. Definitely will book again
I had a great experience with her dog boarding service! Xin was very accommodating and made sure my dog was well taken care of throughout the stay. I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog!
Sreesai was an amazing dog sitter for our 4 miniature Dachshunds. The enclosed back yard and multiple walks every day had them in great shape after 2 weeks. Also, my wife and I have a complicated feeding routine with different weights of wet food for each dog depending on size and activity level. We were sent photos morning, noon and night indoors and out. We won't hesitate to book Sree and her partner again for both long and short stays. Thank you guys so much!
This is the very first time I left Milo for over a week with someone outside my family. Nikita and her husband made Milo feel at ease with their place. Nikita provided daily updates and pictures of Milo. I was so happy to see that Milo settled and comfortable with them. I would recommend Nikita to my friends and family. Thank you for taking excellent care of my fur baby - Milo
Luqi was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was away for two weeks. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout the entire day with photos and messages. She made sure I knew how he was doing, including updates on his eating habits, food bowl, and overall well-being. I felt completely comfortable and had no worries while I was away because I knew he was in great hands. It was such a relief knowing someone was taking care of him with so much love and attention. I highly recommend Luqi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him!
Amazing! They took such great care of my puppy overnight and kept me updated the whole time. Both of them are super kind, caring and overall just great people. Their communication made me feel reassured and relaxed, knowing my dog was in such good hands. I will absolutely be using them again. Highly recommend!
Rajathy was great, very accommodating with my last minute request. My dog is pretty anxious around new people but he warmed up to Rajathy very quickly. She was also sending me updates a couple of times per day which helped me not to stress to much. Highly recommend 😊

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 .
