“Julie was great! Her home is very dog friendly. She catered to Bitsy by letting her sleep on her lap. And, she sent adorable pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend!”


“We had the absolute pleasure of having our dog cared for by this amazing family, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. They welcomed our pup into their home like she was one of their own with lots of love, attention, and even some playful spoiling (just the right amount!). Communication was excellent throughout the stay. We received regular updates, pictures, and sweet messages that showed just how happy and comfortable she was. It was clear our dog was being treated not just like a pet, but like part of their family. The environment is clean, safe, and filled with good energy. Their genuine love for animals really shines through in everything they do. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who is trustworthy, kind, and truly goes above and beyond, look no further. We’re so grateful to have found them on such a short notice.”


“Monica was so great with Rose! So caring and flexible and responsive. Rose had the best time playing with Monica’s dog Beto and she will miss him very much. I will absolutely use Monica again if I come back to town to visit!”


“Amy and Lamar were awesome taking great care of my energetic GSP. Lots of photos and communication kept me in the loop all day. I came home with a tired pup which is the best indicator of a fun day!!!”


“Lorena is a five star pet sitter! ✅ responsive ✅ caring ✅ welcoming ✅ asks questions about the care of your dog ✅ flexible We are definitely going to be repeat clients and recommending her to family and friends.”


“Lauren and Lauren are awesome! They care so much about dogs and want to make sure they’re comfortable and having fun. They were very accepting of Zoey’s high energy and the fact that she’s a puppy. I always feel good dropping Zoey off for daycare here.”



“Thank you Dee for wonderful care you provided to Nikita while we were gone. I felt confident and calm that you would take great care of her! I would love to keep in touch and use your services in the future. I also highly recommend your services to others, especially to highly worrisome and demanding pet owners:)))”


“I had a family emergency where I needed someone to look after my girls, it was last minute and Renee was very understanding and polite. Highly recommend to sit your fur babies.”


“Deidre was fantastic! Will definitely use again when we’re in town next! At drop off, my dogs were comfortable with her right away and at pick up my dogs came home tired and happy! Thank you!”


“Lynda really helped me out with a pretty last minute request for doggy daycare. I felt comfortable leaving my dog Teddy with her and I would absolutely do it again. She sent pics and kept me updated throughout the day on how it was going. Thank you Lynda!”


About: Experience working professionally with animals for over 10 years now. Signed up for Rover to earn extra income doing something I love. CPR-certified and experience with senior dogs. I'm currently home full-time. Open availability for boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking or drop-in visits. Fully dedicated to my pet sitting/grooming business. Your pups will never be left unattended. Boarding: I have a spacious home with expansive outdoor space that’s fully fenced in. Your pup will have free range (unless non-social). A private suite is available for non-social pups. If your pup is non-social we would just do individual walks instead of backyard potty breaks and outdoor play. Bedding and toys provided.

“We had a great experience with Chisato! She sent us many pictures and videos through the day, and we could see Charlotte was being well taken care of and loved! 🥰 we will definitely be using Chisato in the future!”


“I am very happy to report that Karina and her daughter were awesome for my new foster who is really fearful and shy at first. I was nervous at first because I didn't know her at all and the lady who owns the Rescue was telling me how sometimes Rover sitters actually steal dogs! But Karina was honorable and very communicative. Responded to texts instantly all week and kept me informed of everything, even got a picture of Roxy pooping! LOL From the many pictures and videos she sent, Roxy felt right at home and did quite well I think! I recommend Karina and will definitely rebook if she's available next time I come to town!”


“I can't say enough wonderful things about Tessa and the dog daycare that she provides! She is very friendly, clearly a big dog lover, and is very attentive to my dog, Cypria's individual personality, needs, and preferences. Cypria always takes some time to warm up to new places and people, but has been very quickly warming up to Tessa. When Tessa first met Cypria, she even sat down on the floor so that Cypria would feel less intimidated and feel comfortable enough to approach her. I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog with Tessa knowing that she is so well cared for. Tessa also watched my family's Border Collie, Maia, who is incredibly energetic. Maia miraculously came home tired for once and very content after a day with lots of her favorite activity: fetch!”


“First of time using Rover services and I am extremely happy, thanks to Kristal who took such good care of my baby Luna. And for Lucy being such a sweetheart. Luna and I definitely look forward to the next visit!”



About: My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms! Jana and I both work from home, ensuring that there's always someone around during the day to provide company and care for your pet. Occasionally, we may step out for a meal or activity in the evenings or on weekends, but your pet will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. Our cozy home boasts a fenced backyard, providing a safe haven for your pet. We enjoy daily walks in our scenic and relaxing neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets plenty of fresh air and exercise if desired. Our dog Lula is e-collar trained, and is playful with other dogs & humans


About: Hi I'm Taylor! I have been around dogs my whole life! I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard. My puppies (Emmy, Bowser and Felix) and I are willing to bring love, attention, and play to your fur baby. We have several parks nearby that we walk to and play on a daily basis. I work from home during the weekday, so will be home throughout the day to care for your dog or cat. Your pet will be in good hands under my care. Emmy Bowser and Felix are very friendly and haven’t met a dog they don’t love. I also have a two year old daughter who loves dogs, but your dog must be good with young children. I work from home so I can easily let your dog out for potty breaks throughout the day and take them for walks on a break I have a fenced in yard and a crate if needed. My dogs sleep in the bed with me so that’s fine if that is what your dog is used to

“Wendy was very dear and took great care of Schatzi during the days while I visited nearby sites during my stay in the Bronx. I would never have been able go to Botanical Gardens and Zoo and museums without her help with my mini dachsie. Wendy has a mini dachsie and the two greeted each other very amicably on first meet. "We loved having her (Schatzi)."”


About: I have always been known for being a caring person, for my patience. As a teacher and a mother I'm really good taking care of others, and with experience with my own pets or others. After driving my husband and children I have time to spend with pets, during the day with walks and also with the company of my daughter. There is a very big garden where we can take walks and my daughter is always excited to play and enjoy the time with pets.

About: Having grown up with dogs and now being a single dog-mom, I understand how much you think of your fur baby while you're away. (Poop/pee status updates are so underrated 😄) Let me ease your worries! I trained my dog, Nala, from scratch and can work on some basic obedience training with your pup, if you'd like. Just like physical exercise, they love the mental stimulation, too! Whether your dog is very hyper or just wants to cuddle, we can accommodate that! Looking forward to meeting your dog's needs. Nala is a 9 yo medium-sized rescue. She loves to play and gets along with even the grouchiest friends because she understands their body language and does not force the interaction. She grew up around cats, too and really respects their space. I'm a full-time graduate student and have a flexible schedule for walks. I can accommodate weekly/regular bookings or spontaneous walks booked within 24 hrs, too. Always happy to share photos and regular updates as much as you like! Minimal (once upon arrival, once after our walk/day), medium (+2/day updates for overnight stays, maximum (hourly updates including activities and poop/pee updates).
