“Valeria is definitely someone I would consider reliable! She was able to watch my puppy on a few day notice and was very communicative which I loved!. Big thanks to her for helping me out. I was able to go to work, do some errands and catch up on some sleep while knowing my puppy was in good hands.😊🐶”
“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”
“3rd time booking with Gabrielle! She keeps us updated daily with photos and has great communication. Pick up and drop off are always smooth. Loki is excited everytime he gets to stay with her! Will definitley keep booking with Gabrielle!”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
“Alice is an amazing caretaker. She made my dog feel so welcome and at home straight away. Alice paid attention to my dogs needs and adjusted accordingly. She communicated very well with me sending me pictures, videos, and texts, letting me know what was going on each day. I highly recommend Alice”
“Sheila took amazing care of our pup! Got lots of photos and updates, and her house and yard had tons of room to play. It was very easy to communicate. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: Your pet’s new favorite sitter 🐶—providing dependable care, plenty of love, and photo updates while you’re away! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, and it’s always been something I truly enjoy. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, treating each one like they’re part of my own family. I’ve always loved getting to know their unique personalities, routines, and little quirks. Now, I’m excited to open my services to more pet parents and provide the same loving, dependable care to their furry family members. My remote job allows me to spoil your fur baby with a paw safe yard and secure fencing. Since I work from home, I’m able to be available throughout the day to take regular breaks for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also enjoy having them around while I work. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. There will always be fresh water, regular walks and playtime + belly rubs. If your pet has special medication or routine needs, I’ll follow the care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment so you can get away stress free :)!
“Birgitta was awesome! Riley loved staying at her home- especially the great backyard. Birgitta sent me lots of photos and videos of Riley during her stay. Everything was wonderful- thank you so much! Kim & Riley”
“Stephanie was wondering with Ellie! Great communication and provided lots of updates & pictures of her while I was away! Will definitely book with her again 😊”
“Sylwia is AMAZING. My dog absolutely loved her. She kept me posted the entire time she had my baby girl, and sent me pictures and videos of all the fun stuff they were doing together. She kept Hera’s routines, made sure she had enough exercises, etc. I can’t say enough good things about her, honestly! :)”
“Amazing experience! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable. Definitely would book again!”
“My dogs stayed with Taylor for the weekend and they had the most incredible time . They came back so happy , and I felt at such peace knowing they were in great hands . Taylor took the time to pick up and drop off my dogs. She also sent me pictures and updates throughout the weekend which I really appreciated. She is extremely kind , welcoming and responsive .”
“April & Nathan were beyond expectations! Such a wonderful couple who really understand all types of dogs. They are so attentive, so patient, and so loving as people and dog sitters. My pup shadow is a reactive dog and tested their patience a few times and they remained calm cool and collected throughout the stay. They are unmatched in my opinion and I would bring shadow back to them a million times over. Couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”
“Justin and Athena are probably the best sitters I’ve found on Rover. They constantly sent updates and pictures everyday. Cookie was super happy and safe. They even washed Cookie the day before returning. Highly recommend!”
“Su and her family took great care of my precious girl! She has a lot of energy and Su provided several opportunities and avenues for Zo to get her energy out. We’ll definitely be returning customers. Thanks, Su!”

Alice took such wonderful care of our boy! He had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs, and Alice and her family were so sweet, loving, and patient with him the entire time. Finding a dog sitter who is both truly reliable and an excellent communicator is such a relief. While we were away, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of our pup living his best life. We would rebook with her in a heartbeat!
This was our first time using Rover and I’m soo grateful I found Jenny! Great with communication, sent plenty of super cute pictures and was so flexible. Churro felt so comfortable with her and even stuck to his normal eating and potty routine, which he typically struggles with when staying with others. It gave me so much peace of mind! Would absolutely recommend Jenny!
As always, our pets had a wonderful stay! We feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such good hands while we’re on vacation. They’re always well cared for, happy, and loved. We truly appreciate everything you do for them and wouldn’t trust anyone else! ❤️🐾
Sylwia was AWESOME! She took such great care of him and gave him plenty of cuddles and attention. We know how comfortable and happy he is with her because every time we drop him off, he heads straight into her home without even looking back at us! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Rudy is in such loving hands. We highly recommend Sylwia!
Krissy was fantastic with June and Brea. Both of them were a bit skittish at first, but she was patient, worked through it, and they ended up having a great time together. She was super responsive and kept me well-updated the entire time. I'd happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
Sherry did an excellent job taking care of our 2 year old miniature poodle. We have never left her with anyone for an extended period (2 weeks), but Sherry and her husband treated our girl like part of the family, and sent us frequent pictures and videos. I would be happy to book with them again in the future!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gardena home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gardena.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
