“Bennie and Jennie could not have been any better. Our cats were quite nervous, as they have never stayed in another place before. Bennie and Jennie were so loving and attentive, the cats warmed up quickly and ended up having a really great time. We would highly recommend!”

“Doug took wonderful care of Bowey! Bowey had a great time and he even got to meet some furry friends while he’s there. Doug was super responsive and the process from booking to pickup was a breeze. We will definitely book with him again, thank you!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I booked with Baining! She checked in with me every day and reassured me that my dog was well taken care of. The updates and photos really gave me peace of mind. I could tell my pup was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I’d absolutely book with her again!”
About: Since I was 12 years old, I have been actively caring for dogs. My first dog lived to 19 years old, thanks to the loving care from me and my family. Over the years, many friends have trusted me to look after their pets during vacations, showing confidence in my responsible and caring approach. I’ve helped train puppies by teaching basic commands and good behavior, building strong bonds with them. I regularly take dogs to the park for exercise and socialization to keep them healthy and happy. I also handle grooming tasks like bathing to keep them clean and comfortable. This hands-on experience has made me confident and compassionate in providing well-rounded care for dogs of all ages. I’m currently freelancing, so I have plenty of time to play, care for, and give your pups lots of attention! I’m also available for boarding. I don’t have pets at my place right now, but I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with regular meals, fresh water, playtime, and exercise. I treat every pet like family and respect their unique needs.
“Nika and Nick were very patient with our high anxiety dog. They sat with us for awhile before the initial drop off so she could take her time to warm up to them. I could tell that Nika loves dogs and Emma was happy to make a new friend. I’m so glad to have found such a wonderful and caring person to care for Emma while I’m out of town.”
“I regularly leave Penny my sheepadoodle with Igor when I go on business trips or vacation. Penny is over 50lbs. of pup to handle, but he is absolutely great with her. She enjoys her long walks with him and he has been very gracious with letting her stay when my travel plans were delayed. I trust Penny is safe and in good hands when I leave her with Igor and his family.”
About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs my whole life. I’ve looked after friend’s dogs while they’re away on vacation. I’ve also looked after my sick mother my whole life and I know what it takes to provide the best care. I’m only at work for 4 hours but my brother is home all day to look after your fur baby! Your pet would be looked after and cared for 24/7! My complex has a little dog park and I go on long walks daily. I am a big dog person and would take care of your pet like it was my own to ensure the best care!!
“I couldn’t be happier with the care [Pet Sitter’s Rommuel provided for my dog, Halo. From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love animals and treat them like family. Halo was well fed and walked a few times daily. I also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind. Rommuel went above and beyond. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“She did a wonderful job taking care of our fur family! We received updates on our dogs throughout the day, communication was great even unprompted. Looking forward for our pups next stay!”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care multiple dogs since childhood and always was the go to dog sitter in my neighborhood. I really believe each pet has a unique personality and it’s important to cater to each pet in a different way. I’m a college student with a set class schedule. This allows all my free time to be invested in caring for pets with full attention! My place of residence has plenty of space and I live very close by a dog park. This allows me to stick to any pet’s activity and safety requirements

“Couldn’t be happier with the service Monica provided. She looked after my pup like he was her own and even helped with a bit of his training! She sent updates daily and sometimes multiple times per day with photos and videos. 100% would recommend Monica as your dog watcher”
“Rachel was a fantastic host for Malibu, she was always caring to give us updates every day, even on his birthday we called her a FaceTime call to sing happy birthday to Malibu… We were always feeling that Malibu is safe & happy as if he is home. Thank you Rachel so much ??”
“This was the first time leaving our fairly newly adopted dog with a sitter. Ines was wonderful with our temperamental Evie. She found unique, non-threatening ways of picking her up and Evie ended up being just fine with her. Ines was also diligent about sending regular updates and pictures every day to us. Would definitely recommend Ines!”
“Patricia is an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of our fur baby Ella. Ella was very well taken care of and loved. We are definitely repeat clients of Patricia.”

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Meagan! She took wonderful care of our senior dog, Trixie, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt at ease while we were away. Meagan’s communication was incredible as she kept us updated regularly and sent so many photo updates, which meant the world to us. She was very mindful of Trixie’s care instructions, especially since Trixie is older with some hearing and vision difficulties. It was clear that Meagan was attentive and patient and made sure Trixie got the breaks and gentle care she needed. We could tell Trixie was comfortable and happy in her care. Meagan is reliable, compassionate, and truly treats pets like her own. We are so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Awesome experience! My dog normally gets very anxious when we leave town and she stays with friends, but Derek made her feel right at home and I could tell from the photos that she was very comfortable. Communication was great and knowing she was happy and comfortable reduced one of the main stresses for when we travel. 10/10 would recommend.
Rachel and Rohit were amazing! They made our little boy feel right at home, giving him lots of play, love, and even a hike while we were out of town. He also definitely appreciated having Rachel’s pup and other rover pups to play with. We could tell when we picked him up that he had been comfortable and happy - no could shoulder like when he’s been boarded. We were so overjoyed to know our baby had not only been well taken care of, but also basically had his own fun vacation 🤣
Bradford and Janice were amazing sitters for my dog! They were responsive and thorough with my dog, asking a lot of questions about his care. They tended to many specific needs and requests that my dog had, which assured me that he was in good hands. I highly recommend them, and would 100% book them again!
Nicole was a perfect host for a first-time uset of Rover. She kept me updated and shared oics, but not so much that she was interrupting my trip. She was incredibly easy to work with, and was super helpful. I would board my pup with her again with zero hesitation!
Diana was absolutely wonderful with my dog! From the start, she was friendly, responsive, and clearly experienced. What really stood out was how her whole family got involved—they gave my dog so much love, playtime, and attention. It truly felt like she was part of their family while I was away. She also sent regular videos and updates, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Rhea and her family took such great care of our anxious boy, George! They found fleas on him during his stay but went above and beyond by combing them all out and applying medicine. Will have to double-duty on the flea medicine moving forward! So thankful for the attentive care during a not-so-easy stay
This was Rocky’s first stay with Alexandra and she did a wonderful job taking care of him. Soon after dropping him off we got a picture and update that he was settled in and there were frequent updates during his stay, so we could relax and enjoy our weekend away. Alexandra was a great communicator and we would absolutely have her watch Rocky again.
Connie has been caring for my dog named Yoyo for years, leaving me to fully enjoy every second of my time with my family up north. Connie has a special quality that causes yoyo to feel at home even though she isn't :) Connie is and feels devoted to the pets she cares for. .
Kristina was so helpful and kind to our dog. She accepted our request on short notice and kept us regularly updated with photos. Our dog was so happy with her stay she didn't seem too excited to see us when we picked her up! She went back in for another hug from Kristina. Thank you so much!
