“So happy with the service Duncan (our golden doodle got)! Jess kept us updated daily with pictures and texts. He seemed to go on lots of walks and had lots of company with other canine friends as well as their adorable girls! Will definitely be using Jess again!”
“Richard was super responsive with our last minute booking request. Our dogs had a wonderful time and came home exhausted (in the best way possible!). We would definitely recommend Richard and look forward to the opportunity to use him again!”
“Janice was lovely with my dog! She was very natural at handling my dog and his quirks, and she updated me every day of my trip so I could hear about my fur baby when I missed him. I would 100% recommend Janice to anyone who needs a dog sitter, she is a natural.”
“Daisy loved her stay with Nancy! She got so many walks and was able to explore new parks and parts of the city. Nancy was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures and updates on how Daisy was doing throughout the stay. Thank you, Nancy!”
“Debbie was great with taking care of my dog Bunny! She made sure Bunny was comfortable at her place and would definitely rebook with Debbie for whenever Bunny needs boarding/daycare.”
“We are so thankful to Gabriel! He cared for our pup, Hugo, last minute over a holiday weekend. He was patient and kind, since Hugo takes a day to feel comfortable with new people. He also sent updates and photos. We will definitely be hiring him again!”
“Julie was great! It is clear that she cares so much about animals. She was easy to coordinate with and receptive to all of the things we told her about our dog. Easton had a blast running around the yard with her dog and he came home exhausted. Absolutely will use Julie again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dog, Pippa, than Tara! She watched Pippa for 10 days and treated her like part of the family. Tara was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals — Pippa absolutely adored her. We got regular updates and photos that showed just how happy and comfortable Pippa was. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. Tara went above and beyond in every way — we came home to a happy dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m Sara, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals, especially horses and dogs! Growing up, animals have always had a special place in my heart, and I truly believe they deserve all the love, patience, and care in the world. I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them some extra cuddles and attention. Every dog has their own little personality, and getting to know them is honestly one of my favorite things! I know how much our pets mean to us, so I’ll always treat yours like my own. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind while you’re away! My typical day is pretty relaxed and flexible, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I love starting the day with a nice walk, some fresh air, and of course, lots of playtime and attention. Throughout the day, I make sure there’s a good balance of exercise, potty breaks, meals, cuddles, and downtime. I also love getting to know each dog’s personality and sticking to their usual routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I do work night shifts on select days, but I’m always upfront about my availability and make sure your pet’s needs and schedule are a priority. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and little updates throughout the day because I know how reassuring it is to see your babies happy and well cared for! 🐾 I live in a safe, pet-friendly gated community with its own secure dog playground, plus the Quincy Dog Park just around the corner—perfect for plenty of playtime and socializing! 🐕✨
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with Leo and Nala! From the very beginning, she was so intentional during our meet and greet and took the time to really get to know both of them, their personalities, and what they needed before we even handed them over to her. That meant so much to us and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Throughout their stay, Natalie sent plenty of updates and kept me in the loop, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she takes care of, and she is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. We truly have nothing but great things to say about Natalie. Leo and Nala were so well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. We will absolutely be rebooking with her!”
“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”
“Nola and Damian were amazing! They took us last minute for my two young high energy pups. Communication was prompt and professional. My boys came home happy and well cared for, and I would happily book with Nola & Damian again!”
“Louie, our English springer spaniel, loved his time in Wanyi’s home. He was well taken care of, had lots of activities and exercise and was treated like a member of her family. She sent us pictures and updates every day. We are thrilled with our experience. We highly recommend Wanyi!!!!”
“Heather is so sweet & fantastic. She took such good care of my pups. I appreciated her thoughtful communication and compassion for the doggos. I will certainly come back to her again and will recommend her to my friends & family. She's amazing & I'm so grateful to have connected with her!”
“Landy had such a great time with them and he quickly settled in with them (which was amazing because he is fairly anxious). They sent me lots of pictures and stayed in contact about how he was doing throughout his stay. They were super flexible with timing which was a huge help. Overall, they have been some of the best sitters I’ve had and I feel extremely comfortable leaving Landy with them. I will absolutely work with them again the next time I need to board my dog (I just hope that they will be available as they were the best sitters!)”
“Archer was in great hands with Eric! Excellent communication and trustworthy. He had a great time, got lots of exercise, and we would totally book with Eric again. Thank you!”

We couldn’t be happier with Leo’s care last week. We felt completely confident that he was safe and well taken care of the entire time. We loved the daily updates… it gave us so much peace of mind, and we were able to enjoy our trip stress-free since it was our first time leaving him for that long! We were especially grateful that they even did some training with him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
