“Sophie, with a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs, was wonderful with our yellow Lab. Her home has an ample backyard area and is quite welcoming to dogs. Her Boston Terrier plays very nicely with others. Our Lab got lots of love and attention from Sophie, including regular walks in the low-traffic neighborhood near Dominican U. It is abundantly clear that Sophie, an energetic college student trying to earn some money on Rover, could not be more motivated to take phenomenal care of your cherished companion. She did so with our 4 year-old Lab.”

“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”

“We cannot recommend Lori and Frank more highly. This was Daisy’s very first time with a pet sitter, and as a rescue pup she can be a bit nervous in new situations. From the moment we met them, Lori and Frank immediately made her feel comfortable—not just with them, but also with their wonderful adult children. They took exceptional care of Daisy and truly made her part of their family. Thanks to their calm, loving environment, Daisy even gained the confidence to make a new doggy friend with another pet guest during her stay, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear every step of the way that Daisy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leaving your dog for the first time is never easy, but Lori and Frank made the entire experience completely stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Daisy and would trust them again without hesitation.”


About: Every dog is different and that’s how I approach care. Whether working with a high energy puppy who needs structure and consistency or a senior dog who needs patience, gentle handling and extra attention, I tailor my approach to fit their personality and needs. I provide the highest level of attention and communication. I treat every dog like they’re my own by paying attention to their behavior and comfort, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I work fully remote at home with the flexibility to take breaks as needed, go for walks and attend to your dogs needs at any given time. I have a fenced yard for outside activity while my home provides a comfortable space for your dog. I live right next to a big park that’s ideal for dogs.
“Robert sent updates everyday and I knew Riley and Luma were spoiled at his house. Riley is a senior and needs eye drops twice a day, Robert was understanding and provided what she needed.”

“Patrick and Tony were absolutely fantastic! They spoiled our dog so much I didn't think he would want to come home with us! Couldn't have asked for better sitters! If we ever need a sitter again we will definitely go with Patrick and tony!”

“Veronica was great! Theo was happy to see me when I picked him up but he kept going back to the door when she was inside getting his bed :) to me this means he was sad to go. She sent pictures and videos during his stay. He found a great spot to hang out on the steps and had fun with the other dogs she was sitting. I would definitely bring him back for another stay and recommend her to anyone.”

“Ashish was an amazing Dog Sitter. I was leaving my eight month old puppy for 15 days and was very nervous. As soon as I dropped my dog off with Ashish I felt completely comfortable. He went above and beyond The duty and sending videos and pictures I could see from those pictures and videos that Ari was very well taken care of. I will definitely be using him for all my future trips. Ashish gave me peace of mind when I needed it most.”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”

“Cooper was very well taken care of and we think he felt part of the family. We also received thorough updates all the time during his visit. We will definitely book again as soon as we are in need! Thank you Wenxin!”

“Lillie was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her! It was our first time leaving Bear with her- she sent lots of photos and videos which gave us peace of mind. Bear has issues with anxiety but came home a very happy boy! Thank you Lillie!”

“Tucker always love to go to the farm and hang out with his retriever buddies. Jake and Shayla are great, attentive and professional. He gets so much love there, I feel good about leaving him when I’m away.”

“Mac’s stay with Mochi was 10/10! Xi was very responsive, provided wonderful updates, and checked in on dietary concerns before giving any treats. We will absolutely rebook next time we are in the area!”

“Hannah was an amazing sitter! I would recommend her a million times. We were traveling and had a kennel back out on us last minute, which left us in a rough spot, and Hannah was able to help us last minute and was so flexible and understanding. She was so sweet and patient with Mark, spent lots of time with him, and gave us plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. He had the best time. When we picked him up he was happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the playing and fun! She also fed him extra food when his ran out and kept track of and returned all the toys we sent with him. She has a beautiful and safe property that he loved playing on. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”

“Jennifer made us feel at ease while being away from our Murphy for 1 week. She shared updates, pictures and took such great care of the little guy. Highly recommend Jennifer.”

Haystack dog parents share their Rover experiences
First time using Rover. The pet sitter was such a warm and friendly person . We felt comfortable immediately as did our dog. We knew we had found the right person to care for our dog, and would not hesitate to use his service in the future. We received pictures and updates , which was great and allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend him and would use his service again in the future.

Jennifer was great! She helped me out last minute to watch my 4 month old pup while I spent the day taking my daughter to tour Sonoma state and the surrounding area. She accepted super last minute and was so great with my pup all day. She kept me updated with pictures, videos and what my pup was up to.I would definitely recommend her and book her again if ever needed. Also- I had booked wrong and she noticed the higher charge and took care of changing the rate on her own. I really appreciated that as well! Thanks so much Jennifer!

We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!

XI and her mother took wonderful care of our dog Emma, who can be quite timid and anxious. They were so patient and kind, and really made her feel safe and at home. Xi sent daily updates and cute photos, which meant a lot. Knowing Emma was in such good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend Xi!

I had a fantastic experience with Sandy! From the moment she picked Lucy up, I felt completely confident that she was in great hands. Her communication was prompt and friendly, and the regular updates and photos really put my mind at ease. Lucy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to find someone as trustworthy and attentive as Sandy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future—thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucy!

Very happy with Ethan’s care of our dog. We are new to the area and needed care for a week while away for work. Ethan met with us over video; we had a great conversation and felt he was experienced and knowledgable, especially with high energy working breeds. We received several photos and updates a day that included pictures of our dog on walks, hikes, playing, and swimming. We got our dog back happy and healthy. We will book with Ethan again.

Me and my pup were so lucky to find Jessica. I had a last minute cancellation from a friend and needed a sitter urgently. I was really hesitant to leave my pup with a stranger but as soon as I met Jessica I knew he would be in good and safe hands. Her house and backyard is a really sweet environment for even a large dog and her care and questions let me know that she is an experienced and careful dog caregiver. I'm not sure he wanted to come back after 9 days, but alas, he's stuck with me for life. Thanks Jessica for allowing me to travel care free about the safety and happiness of my pupper 🤍
