“Roscoe loved his stay with Dana and family - I think he was sad to actually go home! They took great care of him with long walks and provided frequent updates. Highly recommend!”
“Cathy is terrifc with our older dog. She makes her feel right at home and sends updates to let us know how she is doing. We always know our dog is in good hands with Cathy!”
“Lieb’s son took personal care of our Blondie. She came back tired and exhausted from all the fun fetch and swim play she had. If your dog loves playing in the pool this is definitely a great option. The owner’s dog Jaguar is well trained and has such calm temperament that even surprised me. Lieb took us in a last minute situation which was great all around.”
“I really liked dealing with Peiyi and her husband. The whole time they kept us informed with pics and text updates about our dogs stay with them. We would definitely be going back and we recommend them.”
“Nina and Augustine cared for our beloved pup as if she was their own. She’s usually very sensitive and high maintenance so we were anxious to leave her, but within hours were receiving photos of her happily curled up on Nina’s lap! Also very accommodating of our schedule, and were kindly able to adjust to a last minute request to shift dates with no issue. So great!”
“This was our first time using this app and we had an amazing experience with Maureen. She was the perfect caretaker for our Puma. She gave us perfect peace of mind during our trip that Puma was well taken care of.”
“Couldn't have been more happier with my first Rover experience! Ann had sent me photos of my dog while I was away. Will definitely use the service again in the future!”
“Sunny was a wonderful dog sitter! She was friendly and attentive. She made our family feel comfortable leaving our 15 year old dog when we were away on vacation. She communicated daily sending updates and pictures. We can tell Caesar had a great time. Thank you Sunny for taking such good care of our dog. We will definitely use Sunny again in the future!”
“A very honest review: Celeste is absolutely wonderful. I am military and I had to leave on a mission overseas last minute, and she accommodated my needs and my dog’s needs for an extended stay. I will definitely use her services again, she’s a wonderful pet sitter, she’s very communicative and sent me pictures of my dog and an update daily while I was overseas. Her and her family all love pets and are very caring, this shows as my dog gets very excited to see her, her family, and her pets. She treated my dog as if it was her own.”
“When I first brought my dogs to meet Liana, I immediately felt at ease. Upon leaving them with her, I knew instinctively that my babies would be well cared for. She treated them as her own, and sent daily updates and pictures. When I came to pick them up, the transition was smooth. I had dogs that were happy to see me, and maybe a little reluctant to leave because they were handled with such great care!”
“Our family dog, Mike, has stayed with Ken & Irene for a few visits now. They have always very accommodating in terms of dropping off and picking up--it's easy which is appreciated! Mike seems to love it there and fits right in. When he returns home he does not act funny or stressed out--this is because he felt right at home at Ken & Irene's house!”
“Can’t even put into words how amazing Ana was both to my dog Bacardi & to me! Meeting Ana was a total blessing! She provided a sense of comfort before leaving Bacardi with her. While in her care she provided many pictures throughout the days & you can tell how Bacardi became comfortable staying with her. She was very loving & caring to him as if he were her own. The best part was that Bacardi didn’t come home undisciplined. I absolutely recommend Ana & would undoubtedly use her services again.”
“We were SO LUCKY to find Lauren to dog-sit our precious Rosie (a border collie/ lab mix) while we went to Maui! Lauren helped to manage OUR stress at having to leave Rosie by sending us pictures and little notes of Rosie regularly. When we picked Rosie up, it was obvious how well cared for Rosie was, she was clean, happy, and in great shape. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Lauren, for taking Rosie into your home and family, and taking such good care of her!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and have spent the last 7 years providing care for dogs and cats through referrals from friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each pet. I treat them like part of my own family. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and unique needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior pet needing a little extra attention. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. My remote job allows me the flexibility to build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I always strive to create a calm, comfortable, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, this way they feel secure and cared for even when their humans are away.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since the fourth grade, and I truly can’t remember a time without one! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds—whether for neighbors, family, friends, or even friends of friends. I’ve cared for puppies up to senior pups.Dogs have always been a part of my everyday life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We absolutely adore our Chihuahua, Romeo, and we’d care for your furry friend just like we care for him — with love, patience, and lots of cuddles. My husband and I split our work-from-home days, so someone’s almost always around during the week, and we're both home on weekends. We do not go out much. We are home bodies and like it that way. I have a fully wooden fenced with chicken wire backyard and live in a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood with very little traffic. If your pup needs a crate, that’s totally fine we can manage that otherwise, they’re welcome to roam free and make themselves at home. We only have one resident dog, a sweet little Chihuahua whose favorite activity is sunbathing and napping.
“Nicole did an excellent job taking care of our cat Sammy while we were away on vacation. She sent us regular updates, with details of how Sammy was doing and included pictures of him. I would definitely use her service again and recommend her to others.”
“Roberta and Travis were great to work with. Fast communication and our NOAA was happy and exhausted at pick up! She played with their pup Marshall and came home a very content pup! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
