I was very happy with Emmy’s first boarding experience with Sophia. She provided quick communication and pictures/videos each day. Emmy enjoyed the walks and fenced backyard. I plan to use Sophia for my future trips.

Our dog Sammy stayed with Everry for the first time this weekend and we absolutely loved her! She kept us updated with photos and videos of our pup and we could tell Sammy enjoyed her stay too. Sammy will definitely be staying with Everry again soon!

I can’t say enough good things about Gail. It was obvious that Coco was so well cared for and loved while my family and I were on vacation. She really enjoyed her time. It was also really nice of Gail to provide daily updates and photos/videos so we we’re completely at ease. We will definitely use her again.

Raghavi and her family were great. From the start, they made sure to get to know Archie and understand his needs, and Archie was very comfortable with the family as well as their dog, Simba. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care your pet like their own, I highly recommend Raghavi!

I understand that pets are family, and I treat every companion with patience, compassion, and professionalism. What sets me apart is my ability to create a calm, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and owners. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and committed to maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and daily routines. I am especially attentive with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require extra patience or specialized care. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, providing gentle support for older pets, or giving extra affection to anxious animals, I focus on making every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and maintaining structured, dependable schedules. I plan my days carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention, timely walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am flexible with mornings, weekends, and holiday care when needed, and I make communication with pet owners a priority by providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I take seriously, and I make sure every pet receives attentive, reliable, and personalized care as part of my routine. I provide a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow their routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and special instructions. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and stress-free.

Tanya and her whole family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pippa! She felt right at home from the moment she arrived, and they provided the best care possible. We loved receiving the photo updates Tanya sent—it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Pippa was while we were away. Thank you, Tanya, for creating such a kind and loving environment for our pup. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Pippa was safe, happy, and so well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2000 and cats since I was 8. From kitten, puppies to senior dogs and cats, I love them all. I will care for your dog like they were my own. I currently work from home everyday. I can walk dogs before work, pet sit all day, or watch them in the evening or overnight. I am available for long stays as well. I have no pets at this time so your pet can be comfortable and roam around freely. I can feed, play with and give lots of attention.

Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!

While we prob want a few more pics of Dior, I will let Marco know in the future so we can see how she is doing throughout the day.

This is the second time my Labradoodle has stayed with Jared. She is always so happy to see him and comes back looking well fed and fit! He does a great job of taking photos of your dog and sending them to you. I typically got at least two or three photos a day. My dog always looks happy and content. He also does a great job of picking up your dog or dropping them as an additional service charge but well worth it when you're running short on time.

Rosie was wonderful and helped me out with a very last minute booking. She took amazing care of Chewie! She kept me updated daily with texts about how Chewie was doing as well as pictures. If anyone needs a pup sitter she is the one to go to. Definitely highly recommend! Thank you so much for taking care of my pup!

Raghavi and her family were AMAZING!!! It was my first time booking a pet sitter, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I got so lucky! Raghavi let me do a little meet-and-greet before I even booked to make sure that Ryder was comfortable with her dog, which put me so at ease, and during the boarding itself, was so accommodating with Ryder's schedule (and went above and beyond by sending me lots of photos while I was away, which was such an unexpected but very nice and much appreciated surprise!) She was so easy to get in touch with, and when I needed an emergency extra couple of days covered, she was so flexible and easygoing about it. Definitely booking again!!! :)

Yuhui and her family watched our dog and cat for our 10 day trip. This was our cat’s first time having a sitter and our dog’s first time being comfortable in a new home within minutes of us leaving which was a reassuring sign. Pictures and updates were sent throughout the trip. Our pets really enjoyed their time there with our dog going back for one last hug for Yuhui before we left the pick up. Would def recommend and will be using again!

I got regular updates, photos, and total peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and probably wondering why I can’t provide five-star service and belly rubs full time. Highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover walker!

OMG, if Maria could handle my “bipolar” and “not friendly to strangers” French Bulldog “Fito,” this means she is the bestest dog caregiver. She was caring and loving, and when I went to pick Fito up, she asked me when I was going again on vacation. One of her messages said “I just wanted to say thank you again for trusting me with Fito 🐶 I really enjoyed taking care of him.” Trust me, Fito is not easy. He is very lazy and likes to sunbathe and cuddle which makes him a low maintenance dog. But he is epileptic which means he can have a seizure, and he growls at other dogs and is anxious/aggressive (barking) if someone other than my household and my parents tries to pet him. This makes him too a high maintenance dog. I like to say “I am friendly and you can pet me but I can’t say the same about Fito.” Granted, another Rover caregiver who saw Fito gave me the bestest trick. When he saw Fito (during a pre-visit at a park) and Fito was barking at him, he told me “give me his leash.” I was hesitant at first because I didn’t want Fito to bite him but as soon as he took over Fito’s leash, Fito somehow calmed down as if Fito was thinking “hmmm this stranger now is holding my leash, I’d better be nice since I am under his controls.” I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you to this other Rover Caregiver for illuminating my mind. So when it was Maria’s turn to meet Fito (I had set up many meet and greet with a few Rover dog caregivers), I told her about the new found trick and she too was able to handle Fito. Maria, you are the bestest. You took care of Fito like if he was your very own baby and even had to endure watching a couple of seizures, and clean his crate (as he occasionally poops or pees). You r the bestest. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
