“Lauren and Emily took such good care of Moose! We were so comfortable with them as soon as we met them at the meet and greet. Moose seemed like he had so much fun playing with their two pups and the other visitors. They sent great updates/photos each day.”
“Jackie and her family were amazing with our dog. They took amazing care of him, and even took him out to play a few times. Jackie kept me updated with pictures and videos though-out the weekend. Our dog enjoyed his visit and I will be booking Jackie next time we’re in need of a sitter!!”
“Amazing sitter for our dog! This was our first time leaving her for so many days not with family. Christina was great about sending updates and took wonderful care of Gobi. Will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Erin was amazing with Remy from strong and frequent communication to managing his many peculiarities (he loves to rip up a paper towel). Erin also was able to care for Remy when he was feeling sick and anxious to be away from me; will absolutely book again!”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”
“Tatiana was dedicated to providing good care to our 6 month old cat and consistently provided updates with photos for the whole stay. Our cat genuinely looked relaxed and happy while we were gone.”
“Michelle provided amazing care for my dog and had great communication throughout. She boarded my dog for 6 days and sent multiple pics and updates daily. I would highly recommend her and would book with her again.”
“Noor and her family took such good care of our dog. She came home healthy and happy. Noor sent us photos frequently while we were gone. We highly recommend!”
“Hilda was very attentive at our meet and greet. She asked plenty of questions. During the stay she sent lots of photos and updates. We have already booked her again for our next trip.”
“Amanda took fantastic care of our pup Archie. She provided daily updates, lots of snuggles, and worked with us when we had to unexpectedly extend our booking. I hope to use Amanda for dog sitting again in the future.”
About: Had pets all my life with a background of Rescuing Animals for a Non-profit and I also have training in basic feeding, treats, crating, chew toys for the younger or smaller, proper leashing and walking. I work from home So I have plenty of time for pets. I also take plenty of walks around the neighborhood And the local parks in My area. Make sure the pets are fed properly and have plenty of water. I also like to give them plenty of attention So that they will feel safe and happy because some animals have a little separation anxiety but smiling and being active with them will help build trust.
“Shanjali was so good with Lucy! She understood her needs, was flexible with drop-off and pickup times, and kept us updated with pictures. She looked very cozy during her stay!”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“Jonathon was great. He gave us daily updates on Rexi and Momo. They both seemed happy coming back from their stay. I think they really enjoyed having a yard to play in. We would have him take care of them again.”
“Daria and her dog Snoopy were amazing! We did a long extended stay with Daria, 21 days!! I can’t say enough amazing things from being flexible, to photo/video updates, she went above and beyond to make Taylor our 12 year old dog right at home.”
“Robby and Nikki watched our 1 year old 60 lb pup Ella for the second time over the holidays/new year. Ella was extremely excited to be dropped off- bounding up the stairs and inside without even looking backwards to say goodbye! Every day we got detailed updates of what Ella did complete with pictures :)”
“Garrett and Paola took great care of my cat Figaro in their home. They responded to emails and texts quickly, they were where they said they would be and were there on time, and they sent daily lengthy updates and videos. I would definitely send Figaro to stay with them again, and indeed, am already planning his next stay with them.”
“Happy and grateful repeat customer here! Our dog was taken on multiple walks a day and spoiled with affection. We receive pictures and videos with every visit and can always reach Evan with a question. Our dog leaves calm and healthy from the boardings which leaves us feeling comfortable and confident.”

Frank had a wonderful time with Philip and it really put our mind at ease to know he only takes one dog at a time. You can tell Philip truly cares for the pets he is watching and he is also great with communication. We will absolutely be booking with Philip next time.
He was great with our older husky! She has been on some new medication and had belly issues- he reached out to see if he could give her plain chicken to help. She came home super relaxed and happy. I really appreciated his flexibility with the schedule and prompt communication- would recommend!
Jacob was the perfect host - warm, flexible, communicative, and affectionate with my two dogs. He provided a safe cozy space and a built-in playmate in his own sweet-tempered puppy. Also, Jacob sent photos and updates regularly, giving us extra comfort. He’s terrific.
This was Jenny's longest (and 8th) stay with Doug & Deb. She was under-the-weather, and they went above & beyond to ensure she felt safe & comfortable. Doug went to the vet to get her medicine. Jenny loves to walk but is difficult to walk due to her reactivity. Still Deb took her out for little walks. Jenny looks forward to her next visit in November!
Cynthia is great! She is so easy to work with and obviously loves dogs so much. She has a warm home with a fun time for the dogs that stay with her. My dog is a senior and also has a few extra care instructions, and she happily accommodated with our supplements and eye drops. We would (and will) happily send our dog back to her anytime. Highly recommend!
DeAnna was a godsend for our first time in years leaving our dog with a stranger. By the time we dropped Frida off, she had memorized much of the instructions and was asking clarifying questions. She was very communicative throughout the stay and sent very cute pictures. At the end, she had packed Fridas things and had them waiting by the door so we could get home after a flight-including both bowls freshly washed. Her neighborhood is perfect for a dog stay with lots of tree lined streets, little traffic and a huge park nearby as well. I will be booking DeAnna again and encourage others to do the same.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
