“Lisa is so sweet and lovely, an absolute gem of a dog sitter. This was our first time leaving our puppy, and naturally, we were a little anxious. But from the moment we met Lisa, she put us at ease. She was warm, calm, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with thoughtful messages and adorable photos that helped bridge the distance. Thank you for taking good care of our little darling!”

“Roksana is so kind and professional! The moment I went to drop off my French bulldog, I got really good vibes from her. I could tell that my dog was in great hands. She was attentive as to what my dog’s specific needs were, and she updated me day-to-day with photos and text messages, telling me what my dog was up to. I would recommend Roksana to anyone who needs dog-sitting. I will be requesting her services for sure in the future. Thank you, Roksana!”

“German and his wife were fantastic. They were able to take my high energy Australian castle dog last minute and showered her with love and affection. They sent me pictures and videos to Addie me she was doing well. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again! Thank you so much guys! 🙏”

“Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.”

About: I've been on Rover as a pet owner for the last 12 years, until my sweet dog recently passed, so I know exactly what I was looking for in a pet sitter: Present, dependable and watched after my dog as their own. I grew up in a home always full of cats and dogs, so caring for animals has never felt like a job to me, it's just how I live. As an adult with my wife, Karolina and I shared our home with my precious cat, Sam, that I brought into our relationship who I raised from kittenhood and through his final senior years. Our first furbaby we had together was Huxley, our larger than life, large breed Samoyed who was truly like a child to us, until he passed away very recently. Sam and Huxley got along so well. Having a large breed dog and cats living together taught me a lot about reading different animals' needs and keeping the peace in a multi-pet household. I'm comfortable with all breeds, but we have a real soft spot for large dogs, since that's where most of my hands-on experience lies. I am also experienced giving medication and managing special diets, so pets with health needs are in good hands with me. My dogs were always well trained and well cared for. Because Huxley was reactive around some dogs, Karolina and I became very attentive to reading body language and managing introductions to other animals carefully. I know how to keep every pet in my care feeling safe and comfortable, whether they're social butterflies or a little more cautious. I also keep a close eye on behavioral changes, so if anything seems off, I catch it early. After recently losing our sweet boys, Huxley, and Sam a few years before, I would be heartened to fill our home with the joy of your fur baby. My wife, Karolina, and I will be devoted to your pet. We're self-employed and both work from home, so we have flexible schedules built around pets, not the other way around. We can take time throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, or just some extra cuddle time. I loved taking my own dog on long daily walks, and we'd often head out for bigger adventures too, like the beach or harbor, local hikes, parks, outdoor malls, wherever he wanted to explore. Or even just a pet friendly restaurant experience. Your pet won't be an afterthought squeezed into our day. They'll be part of it. Our home is a two-story house with a small, secure fenced yard, and the neighborhood has great walking routes and green common areas, perfect for both quick bathroom breaks and longer walks. Inside, we have a large crate if needed (Huxley just slept in it with the door open), dog beds, water bowls throughout the house and a stash of toys ready to go, so your pet has familiar comforts and a safe space to settle into from day one. There are no other pets or kids living in the home, so your pet will get my full attention. I'm experienced with medication schedules and special diets, and I take introductions and routines seriously to help pets feel settled and comfortable quickly. Whether it's a young, energetic dog or an older pet who needs a little extra care, I'll treat them like they're my own and with no less love than we gave Huxley, which was an embarrassingly great amount of love.

“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”

“Suman is a phenomenal sitter. She’s very responsive, sends plenty of photos and updates. My flight got delayed and had no issues accommodating and early drop off and a later pick-up. Turks and I will use her services again and again. Her daughter also took special care to give my baby love too!”

Shari S.

“My corgi, Penelope, stayed with Lorelle for a week, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Penelope took to her right away, which was what I was most apprehensive about, and it immediately put me at ease. Lorelle sent photo and video updates every day, and I loved seeing how happy and comfortable Penelope was. Penelope has her little quirks, and I really appreciated how accommodating Lorelle was with her routine and preferences, including giving her a designated area and plenty of outside time and attention. I knew Penelope was in great hands and would absolutely book with Lorelle again!”

Megan R.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Tara! She sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, and made sure to prioritize our dog’s needs. Our dog played a lot with her dog, and with the backyard space available, her place seems to be a perfect space for dogs. We will 100% be hiring Tara again for our dog care needs! She’s a pro 💯”

“Nacho loved to stay with Cristy and Andrew, they are very flexible with the times and treated Nacho as I do. For sure i would leave Nacho with them again when needed. Highly recommended ??”

“CJ was the best sitter for Benji! She’s very communicative and sent frequent updates throughout the day. She’s also so kind and I could tell right away he’d be in great hands!”

Patty K.

“Patty and her dog, Brownie, have watched our dog, Penelope, several times and they are always so welcoming. We get lots of updates and our dog comes home happy and tired from all the fun she has had!”
