“The feedback I received from Paloma was great. The start of the scheduled pickup time was a little nerve racking, I scheduled a 8:00 PM pickup and no response until after 12:00 AM. My daughter said I was scammed and that was my biggest fear, but when I received the text message from Paloma I felt a little better and she reduced the fee. She picked Juicey up and I really felt better she would be cared for while I was away. Thank you for the care for my fur baby”
“Christina and Nick are awesome sitters! Our dog stayed with them for several days and we can tell he was extremely well cared for. Christina sends lots of updates and photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup. She’s super responsive, understanding, and caring. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely use her for dog sitting again in the future!”
“This is my first time using a dog sitter and I was very impressed with the quality of care and attention provided by Ninoska for my little one. Shes truly a GEM... I appreciate the fact that she sent me videos to update me during my puppy's stay.....nice touch.. I would definitely recommend Ninoska to anyone who is looking for a professional and friendly dog sitter.”
“She’s fantastic! Michelle ensures that your animal is loved, care for - takes time to feed and do the routines that your dog has daily. She has a super clean home with an area just for your dog that makes you feel like it’s a doggy hotel! Nameplate and first time sitter certificate was a nice touch. We received many updates of all kinds - videos, pictures and texts throughout her stay. Her own dogs are lovely and kept Lulu active and entertained (she s a puppy so it was great!). We plan on booking her again if available and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you, Michelle!!”
“Ryan was the best. He was flexible and took care of my girl like his own. He took her out for walks and sent updates and photos. I felt safe leaving her with Ryan. Will definitely book him again!”
About: I’m a very patient and understanding individual, especially with dogs who may need extra time to feel comfortable. We have a rescue dog with a difficult past who doesn’t always feel safe in new environments or around unfamiliar people or dogs, so we truly understand how important it is to find the right fit. That’s actually what inspired me to start Rover, to provide a safe and secure space for dogs like her. I have experience as a dog foster with rescue dogs and those who may be a bit nervous or shy. I have a separate floor in my home where your dog can have a quiet space to decompress and feel comfortable during their stay. Because my dog is territorial and does not get along with other dogs, I will keep her completely separated from your dog. Also have a nice fenced in yard where they can around and play. I would love the opportunity to watch and care for your furry family member :) I work from home full-time in IT, so I’m around all day to keep your dog company. They’ll get enough attention, potty breaks, and won’t be left alone for long periods I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. Inside, I have a finished basement with windows where they can relax and keep me company. This setup allows me to comfortably separate your dog from my dog and kid , ensuring a safe and stress-free environment.
“Ivette was an awesome sitter for Zumba, she was also very accommodating with the drop-off and pick-up times. She sent messages as well as pics of Zumba. My fur baby was tired and happy from all the playtime and walks. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that wants a great friend to your pet while you're away. I look forward to contacting her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Ivette!”
“First time Rover doggy parent and she made me feel very comfortable offered video call and pictures. Once I arrived very welcoming and made me feel safe with leaving him. Provided pictured of them all playing and sleeping and gave normal updates (he stayed over night)”
“Laura, Dan & their adorable boys took great care of my 2 labs over the weekend! They were very easy to work with and flexible to meet my needs when arrival time changed. Thank you so much! 💕”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
“THE BEST dog sitters! Our pup stayed with them for only one night and we received many updates and pictures. Super responsive and kind! 100% would recommend!”
“Marlene is the best! So conscientious and easy to communicate with, so kind, and so attentive to my dog's complicated needs. It's a pleasure to drop Maple off and see how happy she is to spend time with Marlene.”
“John and his family are absolutely amazing. I left Iroh with him for a full week and didn’t worry once! He sent pics and kept me updated throughout my trip, which really put my mind at ease! 100000/10 would recommend!!!”
“Christian was great. He provided us with an update as to how our dog Foxy was doing in his care and when we did picker up from him, she looked very happy! We would use him again without hesitation!”
“Karla is amazing!! This is the second time we left our dog under her supervision. She sent us updates every morning and evening which is so great. My dog is paralyzed and needs special attention, but she was so amazing with him. You could easily tell that he loves her. Thank you so much Karla for your patience with Fido!!!! You are THE BEST!!!!”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”
“Mykala and her partner took great care of my dog Tails! It was a fairly last minute request for multiple days of boarding so I was very relieved to find good caregivers for him. They provided lots of updates and Tails enjoyed spending time with their dog Boots. I would book again!”
“Each time we leave Nutmeg in Euitae’s hands we know she will receive the best care and love. She loves staying there and her walks in the park, and we love the photos, communication and updates.”

At first I was worried leaving my puppy with anyone in this world, Michelle did such a great job sending me pictures and videos every single day without missing a beat. Besides taking care of my puppy, she did train her on some bad habits that I had developed, which now are non existent. I know where to go next time, hands down, I wouldn’t even think twice, thanks again!
We had a wonderful experience with Edelann and Lax and felt completely at ease leaving Buddy with them. They were communicative, warm, and clearly treated him like part of the family. Buddy had a great time - he loved playing with their dog Akira and enjoying their big backyard, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable throughout his stay. We also really appreciated the updates and the attentive care they provided. We’re so grateful for the love and care they showed Buddy and would absolutely trust them again. Highly recommend!
Mariam was absolutely wonderful with my dog and you can tell she genuinely cares. My dog loved her, and her space was so clean and welcoming. She kept me updated with photos and was always quick to respond, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be booking with her again.
We cannot say enough amazing things about Katya! We have a rescue dog who was previously abused and is extremely anxious — especially around new people. As you can imagine, we were just as anxious leaving her for the first time. Katya went above and beyond to make all of us feel comfortable. She sent multiple updates and pictures every single day, which really eased our minds. It was clear from the photos that our girl felt safe and cared for. She took her on lots of walks, was patient with her anxiety, and made sure she received her medication exactly as instructed. That level of attentiveness meant everything to us. If you have a nervous or special-needs pup, Katya is someone you can absolutely trust. We are so grateful to have found her and will 100% be booking with her again!
I had a great experience and felt very comfortable boarding Eevee with Endre. He sent photos and videos everyday, and it was clear that she was well cared for. Over the weekend, there was also a snowstorm and still he brought her out for walks and to enjoy playing in the snow! I really appreciate the extra effort and attentiveness, especially given the tough weather. Thank you!
Exceptional care for your furry family members and peace of mind for pet parents. We could not be more pleased with the care our dog received from Heather. From start to finish, it was clear that he was in excellent hands. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog returned to us happy, relaxed, safe, and healthy—clear signs of thoughtful and compassionate care. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
I had to take an extended trip for almost 3 weeks, and Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs while I was away. I knew they would be in good hands during the meet and greet because she is such a warm person and has a lovely home with a backyard which made the extended time away more manageable for my pups.
