“Ray was a great sitter for my pups while I was out of town for 1.5 weeks. He sent me tons of updates and took great care of my girls and the home. Thanks so much!”
“Andrea did a phenomenal job! She has exceptional communication skills. I was constantly updated with great pictures of my happy pups. She spent plenty of time with them. She went above and beyond to ensure they were well taken care of and loved. I am always a bit nervous leaving Teddy and Ace for several days but she made it a seamless vacation. I am confident your pets will be in good hands! I would recommend Erika to anyone.”
“Perniall did a great job taking care of Miss Bean. He was attentive to her special needs and followed her care instructions closely, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. I appreciated the updates and the thoughtful attention he gave her. I’d definitely recommend him, especially for pets who need a little extra care.”
“Diane was so kind and wonderful with our senior dog. She made such an effort to get to know us and our dog’s needs. She communicated clearly throughout her short stay. We can’t wait to book her again!”
“April is amazing and very accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving the boys in her care. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Coleen stayed with our animals while we were gone and was amazing. She sent many messages and photos throughout our trip so we knew they were getting the best care. When we got home our dog was tired and happy - a sign of a fun long weekend! We will definitely rebook with Coleen and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Stephanie pup sat and house sat for us while we were out of town for over a week and she was FANTASTIC every step of the way. She came over to meet our two pups and they instantly connected, even our doggo who’s a bit of a scaredy cat loved her instantly. We explained the flow of a typical day before we left, and throughout the trip we never for a second worried that Stephanie needed extra reminders or pings. Stephanie sent us regular updates and pics of the pups as they explored the neighborhood on their leashed walks. Stephanie was also very clean and treated our place with a ton of respect - we’d had the place cleaned before we left and it looked even cleaner and tidier when we got back. Overall we were really happy with Stephanie, who helped us out immeasurably while also juggling her work. Our pups were well taken care of, our place was looked after, and I honestly can’t remember another trip we took where we didn’t have to worry at all about how our girls were doing, and we have Stephanie to thank for that!”
“Renee is incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. She takes the time to learn your pet, and applies her experience to help them thrive while you’re away. She was consistent with communication at every step as well, and incredibly trustworthy. My pup warmed up to her right away!”
“Kerlly was the best pet sitter we have ever had! I tend to be anxious when I travel away from my dogs and I wanted somebody that could be with them the majority of the time, as my husband and I both work from home. She sent us lots of updates (and the cutest pictures) every day and made sure to let me know when she was coming and going so I never had to wonder if they were alone for long. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. My dog Merlin, who can be picky about who he likes, loved her right away, She went above and beyond and I have never felt so at ease while traveling. She also left the house in perfect condition. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“This was my 1st time leaving my dog for a long weekend and I couldn’t have chosen a better caregiver for him. My Murphy is a rescue & has some anxiety issues but Jo handled him with patience, understanding and love. She tapped in to her knowledge of dogs and put both myself & Murphy at ease. She tried a few new toys/treats with him which he loved and sent me plenty of pics and videos of Murphy throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Klaudia! She was punctual, attentive, and so sweet to my pup. She followed all instructions perfectly and kept me updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend!”
“Karolly was absolutely wonderful. Our pets loved her the second they met her at our meet and greet, and she was very thorough asking questions about care instructions. On our trip she sent us a lot of pictures/videos, and updates about their food/potty times. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were with her and they seemed to have a great time. She was amazing and if we could give her 100/5 stars we would. Thank you so much Karolly!!!”
“Jillian was lovely! So responsive, kind and caring for our two pups and cat. She left the house in great shape. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Liz took absolutely wonderful care of our senior dog. We came home to a clean house and one happy pup. We hope she is available for our next trip!”
“Took a 10 day long trip and was blessed to feel completely at ease knowing my babies were well cared for. Stephanie sent messages and videos to update us on the stay so we were always in the loop. Definitely recommend!”
“Tanisa did a great job looking after our two senior dogs for a week. She walked them every day and followed our instructions to a T. Great communication, lots of pictures, easy going and reliable! Came home to two relaxed dogs. We’ll definitely book with Tanisa again.”
“Highly recommended! Ashley took amazing care of our fur baby and our home. She communicated with us daily through text and photos. We will definitely be calling Ashley again!”
“Thank you so much Camille for taking such great care of my girl! I felt so good knowing you were there at my place with her where she feels the most comfortable Thank you also for the many updates and pictures you sent me throughout our trip! I’m sure she loved all the attention and all the walks! Thank you again so much!!!”
About: Hello！My name is Yiran and I come from China，I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them is something that brings me real joy. I have about 3 years of experience dog sitting and walking, and over 5 years of experience with cats. When I was 16，I used to sit my aunt's dog all the time. I grew up with a British Golden Retriever, and when I turned 18, I got a Ragdoll cat who quickly became my best friend. I also have a lot of hands-on experience with small animals—I’ve cared for over 20 hamsters and 4 guinea pigs over the years. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. （I'm also planning on getting a bunny！！） I currently have a 10-8pm full time job. I am always off on Tuesdays and Saturdays(full day care) And I'll be free sometimes even 6pm during normal work days. When I first got my baby Ragdoll，I flew to LA to the breeder's house，she took me in and gave me a huge handbook:about how to care for my baby cat，what food is good，what medicine to buy if she's sick，her daily routine，how to communicate with her...And I bought ticket，brought her on airplane with me flew back home. When it comes to my love for animals，I Will put as much effort as I can！ I know the basic routine and difference for cats and dogs，i know what food they shouldn't be eating，how to train them and how to calm them down if they are stressed.
About: I have experience with wide variety in size and age of dogs from an elderly puggle to recently training our 1.5 year old black lab. I work from home with a relatively flexible work schedule so can be available pretty much anytime during weekday or weekends for walks or boarding with advance notice. We have a lot of gates throughout the home to gradually build dog's comfort in our home as well as gated backyard and kids who love dogs.

Dunning pet parents share their Rover experiences
Robin is trusted and reliable and goes above and beyond when taking care of our pets. Whether staying in our home or coming for drop in walks, she is a gem.
Sergio went above and beyond for us! This was our first time hiring him and the big storms that we had caused some unexpected problems and Sergio really helped us with that as well. Our pets seem to have gotten very comfortable around him within a short period of time. We came home to all of our animals happy and healthy, our house in the shape that we left it in and he gave us peace of mind while away on a much needed family trip! Recommend and will definitely hire him again when/if he is available.
Aleia does a great job for us and our dogs. She takes great care of the sogs and our home. Highly recommend and will have her stay again.
First time using Rover and we blown away with the love and care that Stephanie gave to our girls! The dogs were so happy and well cared for, and so was our home. I honestly believe the home looked better when we came home, than how we left it! I highly recommend her services - we will definitely use her again!!!
Jo was great!! She was very communicative and took great care of our little Josie. This was our first time leaving our 3 month old puppy for the night and Jo made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be using Jo again!! 🙂
Mirella always takes such good care of Mac and Cricket and our home and keeps us updated so we can feel comfortable while traveling that everyone is in great hands.
Liz did a great job taking care of my dog, Red. She sent me pictures and updates which made being away from him for the first time that much easier. It was so nice to be able to relax during vacation knowing he was being well taken care of! I will definitely call Liz for my next trip! Kathy and Red
Ashley did an amazing job communicating with me and giving me all of these amazing pictures throughout. Hamilton appeared to be comfortable with her and spent time with her instead of his normal hiding away while we are gone. Look forward to next time which we are already working out the details. She went above and beyond and left our place in better shape than we left it.
Ray was absolutely amazing, with our senior dog. He listened to all of my advice and took everything I asked him to do very seriously, took him on a very long walk to the forest like I had asked. Overall, I would higher Ray again in a heartbeat if i'm going out of town or just if I need somebody for the day.
Camille, was awesome with the house sitting, our dog and bird. She is punctual, cares about details, and best of all a natural with animals. We were very pleased that we found Camille via Rover. She's a keeper!
Casey was amazing! She took the time to learn about my dogs and their needs before her stay. She asked great questions about their personalities, behaviors, and training. While I was away, my three dogs were well cared for and Casey took great care with my home as well. I would highly recommend Casey!
Joanna was beyond great and stepped in for a last minute overnight request. My original sitter had to cancel and I was so stressed. I found Joanna and we had our meet and greet with my boys the same afternoon! She had great energy because my anxious one came up to her right away and sought attention from her. I knew instantly that Joanna would hit it off with the pups. I appreciate her responsiveness and communication. I got regular updates in the short 24 hours that I was away. I would absolutely consider using Joanna again in the future.
Ryan is the best! He’s punctual, communicative, and reliable, plus our dog absolutely loved him. He stayed at our house for a long weekend and we came back to it being in the same condition we left it in, no issues at all. He sent us pictures and let us know how Birdie was doing, he even left us a cute picture of her on our fridge. Highly recommend!
Corey and Robert took good care of our dog Lucy this weekend. Corey asked great questions about Lucy's routine and care, sent pictures every day, and left the house very clean for us returning.
Angelica went above and beyond. When our newborn son was kept an extra day at the hospital, she stayed an extra day to babysit our dogs. She didn’t complain and we didn’t have to find someone else in an emergency. She followed our rules and kept our Shibas happy and entertained. Communication was great. It was a pleasure to have to her care for our home and furbabies, and we’d have her come back anytime.
Veronica stayed at our house overnight to watch our dog Maggie for a week. She sent lots of updates and was very responsive. She offered to take out our trash on garbage day and left our house spotless. We will surely use her again!
Kaitlin did a wonderful job looking after both our cat and dog while we were away! She was prompt and great at communicating. highly recommend!
Tetiana was great. Good communication from her every day. Pictures each day. House was left in perfect condition. Would recommend
