Boryana took such great care of our dog River! Received an update every evening with pictures!! She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him while I was away. I will be having her stay with River anytime we go away!

Shalini was great! So easy to work with and very communicative. Gave updates throughout and my pup was clearly well taken care of! I would definitely use her again and recommend her.

About: I’m a responsible local college student offering dog walking, drop-ins, and basic pet care. I’m newer to Rover, but I’m reliable, patient, and careful about following each owner’s instructions. I’m available every day on a flexible summer schedule for dog walking, drop-ins, and basic pet care. I’ll keep my availability updated and am happy to discuss your pet’s routine ahead of time to make sure I can provide reliable, consistent care. I take safety and trust seriously and will follow each owner’s instructions carefully. During walks, drop-ins, or stays, I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, proper leash or harness use, potty breaks, and a calm environment. I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: I've had dogs since I was 14 and have taken care of them for family and friends over the years. That includes small and big dogs, young and old. Dogs in general seem to be drawn to me. I'm currently working part-time so that gives me more time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. The best thing I can do is make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you're away. I do that by keeping them in their same routine everyday and giving them a lot of attention.

Sharyn was outstanding in taking care of our chow chow Khan. She did such a good job Khan barely missed us. She stayed at our home and took care of watering all our plants. I would not hesitate to use her again.

Sara was awesome! Our little girl took to Sara right away. We did a meet and greet and when Lulu rolled over and gave Sara her belly we knew she was going to be the right rover. She spent a solid 7+ hours with Lulu and she sent us photos and kept us apprised of Lulu’s comfort with her. We will definitely use again and definitely recommend!

Madison was great with our dog Denver during a weekend housesit — we were glad to get updates and photos and were glad to come home to a happy fluffy boy afterwards! Our dog can be reactive with other dogs so we were appreciative of the care she took on walks with him.

Rita took excellent care of our Border Terrier, Duffy, during a 4 night stay at her house. Before this stay, we did a meet & greet and Duffy did an overnight trial stay. Rita bonded with Duffy right away and she spoiled him with a Bark Box gift of treats & a toy. Rita was very flexible with Duffy’s arrival and departure time. She arranged her schedule to accommodate walks and trips to the dog park. Rita sent us lots of photos each day because she knew we were missing him. I highly recommend Rita because she genuinely cared for the welfare of our dog.

Vee was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my dog with love and dedication and left my home in pristine condition. She communicated regularly and was very responsible. Most important, she was patient and determined to get my dog to eat and take her meds (she is older and has health issues) and kept me informed. I could not ask for better care! My dog is happy and healthy!

About: I’ve been raising and caring for dogs for over 10 years, and they truly are my world. I’ve raised four puppies and have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life—from energetic young dogs to seniors, as well as rescue, reactive, and special-needs dogs, including caring for a dog with cancer.

I’ve raised four puppies and have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life—from energetic young dogs to seniors, as well as rescue, reactive, and special-needs dogs, including caring for a dog with cancer. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pets with someone new—I’ve been there myself and struggled to find reliable care for my own dogs. Because of that, I take trust, communication, and consistency very seriously. You’ll always know what’s going on at home, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease. I’m calm, attentive, and very tuned in to each dog’s needs and routines. Whether your dog loves playtime, quiet companionship, or just sticking to their usual schedule, I make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I can prepare food the way your dog is used to, give medications and vitamins (I know all the tricks!), and adjust to any specific needs or preferences. I’m currently available for evening visits and overnight stays in your home (6 pm - 7 am) —perfect if you’re traveling but have daytime care already arranged, or even if you just need someone to stay with your puppy while you’re out for the evening.

I'm currently available evening and overnight stays in your home. Ideal for someone going away, but has a regular dog sitter or day care during the day. Or if you simply want to go out to dinner and need someone to watch your puppy. I have a full time (work from home) job. I am available 7 pm - 7 am after family takes over watching my own fur babies. Weekend availability on case by case basis. I am only available to watch your dogs in your home, where we can follow the schedule they are used to. We can play, practice tricks, eat, go for walkies and cuddle :)

Megan is hands down the best sitter who has ever watched Cujo while I've been out of town. Quick to respond to a last minute request, took the time to do a meet&greet, asked excellent questions, and Cujo could not have been in better hands. In all the adorable pictures Megan sent, I could see that he was having an absolute blast. The apt was spotless when I got home and Cujo seemed genuinely bummed that his new BFF had to leave. I cannot recommend her highly enough and she will be my go-to for any trips I have to take in the future.

Michaela is awesome! We had no worries while we were out of the country! She spoiled our dog rotten even crocheted him a sweater! They were constantly at the park. Buddy’s favorite place. Our dog takes lots of medication and Michaela handled it with ease. We received text messages and pictures with updates. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed before we returned! Michaela went the extra mile in all that she did while we were away! Our neighbors commented that they really liked her too! Our dog and home was well cared for and she is extremely reliable! We are very grateful we found her and have scheduled her to come back for dog walking. I highly recommend her!

About: Hi! My name is Piyawadee, you can call me Annie, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with a genuine passion for caring for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and currently I have a beagle of my own who brings so much joy to my daily routine. Spending time with dogs has always been something special to me—they’re not just pets, they’re incredible companions. I truly believe dogs have a unique way of providing comfort and emotional support, and they’ve always helped lift my spirits, no matter what kind of day I’m having. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I’m experienced in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. In fact, I’ve always felt that if I ever changed careers, working with dogs would be my dream job. Being around them brings me happiness, reduces stress, and gives me a sense of fulfillment that’s hard to find elsewhere. That’s exactly why I decided to become a dog sitter. I’m excited to spend my free time, weekends, and days off helping others by taking care of their beloved pets. I understand how important it is to know your dog is in safe, caring hands, and I will treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm currently working from home 2 days a week and off the whole weekend. I can provide boarding, walking, and drop-in services from Friday to Sunday. I live in the house with the big backyard in a great neighborhood. I can walk the dog around the neighborhood and play with your dog in the backyard. Our yard is unfenced, but we are planning to build the fence in this summer.

Boryana was absolutely amazing with our three dogs over the Thanksgiving holiday. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our pups in her care. She was incredibly attentive and loving, making sure each dog got individual attention, walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Boryana followed all of our instructions perfectly, kept the house neat, and sent us thoughtful updates and photos so we always knew everyone was happy and relaxed. We came home to three calm, content dogs and a home exactly as we left it. It’s clear Boryana truly cares about the animals she’s looking after, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. Five stars isn’t enough—highly recommend Boryana and would absolutely book her again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sharyn is such a wonderful and trustworthy person! She has provided drop in service for be before, but this weekend I booked her for house sitting for the first time. Of course, the night before I went out of town...my dog got sick and needed medication and supportive care. Sharyn didn't skip a beat. She followed all my medication and feeding instructions and ensured that my dog had a comfortable night. She kept me posted with pictures and reports. I had total piece of mind while I was away. I look forward to working with Sharyn again.

Sarah was great! She did everything I asked her to in regards to taking care of my pups. She even watered my flowers and got my mail. The house was in great shape when we got home and the dogs were fine and happy. Sarah said she enjoyed the dogs company and would miss them which warmed my heart. We will use her again.
