“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”

“Francise is the absolute best all around: communication, photos, flexibility, and most importantly, the best care for Monty, who loves her. She can handle his reactive leash walking too, which gives me peace of mind. This is the second time we’ve used her and will do so again!”


“My pup is in his 16th year! I’m particular when it comes to his care and keeping him on schedule with prescribed medication, and nutritional needs. Thank goodness I met Kelly, I was able to relax and enjoy a weekend away, with the knowledge that he was in terrific hands. Complete with updated photos, she kept me informed. Thank you, Kelly.”

“Jodee and AJ are great. They were so patient as I worked through multiple schedule changes with my job leading up to the booking. My two beagirls were right at home with them and I enjoyed getting a few pictures/update each day. Both came home happy and healthy. We'll re-book with them for any future out of town trips.”

“Christine was great with my shyer pup. My dog gets a bit nervous the first day away but she seemed happy and cuddly and not wanting to leave her side by day 2. We will definitely rebook in the future!”

“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”

“Nina continues to be awesome!! She let us know day by day how Winston was doing and anything she noticed. She takes such good care of him, and I always feel comfortable leaving him with her!!”

“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”

“Thank you, Rae! No worries with leaving Seymour with Rae at all. We came home to a very happy, well cared for pup. Seymour loves Rae! Will definitely book with her again if needed.”

“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”

“Allie is wonderful! She has watched my pup twice and each time I’ve felt confident he is being very well taken care of. She was also incredibly understanding after weather delayed my flight home and I had to pick him up much later than expected. Would highly recommend!”

About: Currently work as a Pediatric Physician Assistant and love doing Rover on the side! currently have a 2 adopted rescue from South Korea. I’ve been doing Rover with all different types of dogs. I love getting my steps in and would love to have another friend join me whether in the hot or cold weather. Currently working full time and have more time to spend with other dogs on the weekends! I would love meet your dog and give them all the love. I love getting my steps in so we could go on walks together, but also if your dog just needs some attention at home I would love to stop by and let them on a bathroom break and give them lots of love!
“First time using Rover. Shane was magnificent and my dog is so upbeat. Definitely will use him again. He sent constant updates and pictures of how my dog was going throughout the stay.”

“Sabrina was so great hosting Ollie for a long weekend! He was super comfortable as soon as he got to her home and she provided great updates on how he was settling in. I really appreciated her communication and all she did to make him comfortable in her home. I'm sure he can't wait for his next visit!”

“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”

“Another amazing stay for my pup! A tropical storm cancelled my flights and Nicole was super responsive and amazing about extending the stay. It’s so wonderful knowing the my pup is in great hands, even when my trip home is delayed. Thank you so much, Nicole! 🐾🐶🐾”
“Alyce is so great with my dog Scooby, he still has lots of puppy energy even though he’s fully grown but she’s very responsive, accommodating and just overall great with him!”

“This is our third time with April, and we truly couldn’t be more grateful for her. She’s been incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with our dogs, even when they’ve been a handful. We always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. Her communication is great, and it’s clear she genuinely cares for the animals she watches. We appreciate her so much and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”

Pat was a phenomenal sitter for our dog, Collins! We received great updates each day, along with photos. Collins is notoriously shy and slow to warm up but he loved his stay with Pat and adjusted quickly! Thanks Pat for taking such great care of our little guy while we were gone!

Marlene is amazing! I was nervous about leaving my newly adopted dog who is shy around strangers, but he settled in so quickly and had the time of his life! Her apartment has wonderful full-length windows that he enjoyed looking out of, and he got to stretch his legs and run around outside, which made him very happy. She gave lots of updates and I feel great knowing he has a place to go to whenever we’re out of town.

Jordan and his fiance did a great job taking care of my dog Riley on very short notice! They were responsive, flexible, and provided plenty of updates while I was gone. Riley had a great time staying with them and I would absolutely send her to stay with them again in the future. 100% recommend Jordan for all your dog boarding needs!

Briana was fantastic as a pet sitter. She confirmed the pick up times in advance, met us on time, and is a fantastic communicator, sending tons of photos. She went above and beyond with getting Gemma treats and even refilling our poop bags when they ran out. I highly recommend her for your pet boarding needs.

My dog Elvie had the best time with Michelle! Michelle sent me photos and updates for the duration of her stay. Elvie came back exhausted from loving being with Michelle’s family and fenced in yard. Elvie and I will both be excited for her to stay with Michelle again!

Nina was absolutely excellent with Loki! The pictures she sent were very reassuring that my pup was safe and healthy. One thing to note, because I had not realized when booking, is that walks happen with lots of doggie friends, so if your dog prefers to stroll alone, this may not be a good fit for them. Loki apparently did very well though! I truly appreciate Nina for everything she did for my pup.

Denver had such a great stay with Debbie and Justin. We had a last minute opportunity to travel and it was our first time using them to dog sit. Denny was happy to see us but you could just tell he had a great time! Denver loves men so it came as no surprise when Debbie told us he had bonded with Justin!
