“Kimberly was great with our little ole puppy dog Daisy. She kept us up-to-date on how things were going, sent us pictures, and responded to our texts throughout our time away. I would definitely recommend her and we will be happy to use her again.”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, stayed attentive to his needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the level of care and attention she gave our pup. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!”
“Christy and her family were absolutely fantastic with our beagle Zoey. We had never used Rover or a pet sitter before and Christy made the process so easy, from the meet and greet to booking. She gave fantastic updates with pictures and we knew our pup was being well taken care of! Thank you Christy and family!!!”
“Anna was amazing with our dog Indy! She had the best time and was so well cared for. We loved getting picture updates while we were away. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup, couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!”
“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking care of animals, spending time with them. I’m willing to work with your puppies or senior dogs providing good care. I do work part-time and would love to spend my free time taking care of your babies whether that’s walking them, playing with them or simply giving them attention. And making sure they are well cared for! I have a fenced and spacious yard. My home is dog-friendly, clean and safe. I’ll keep you updated on your fur baby with photos, videos and messages.
“Russ and Andi LOVE dogs and it shows. Thank you for the pictures and video -- I used to think that was for helicopter parents, but they really did put my mind at ease while I was away!”
“Shanti was knowledgeable, very responsive and friendly. She communicated well about timing. Zara enjoyed playing with her dog Nico and enjoyed her stay. Would definitely be using Shanti for sitting in the future.”
“Dan and his family were the best caregivers for our dog! They took great care of him and Dan was really easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Connor was amazing for our pup while we were away for a trip! I loved that she got such great one on one attention and care - plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. It was clear from the many photos (that we loved getting) that our dog was relaxed, happy, and having fun. We will absolutely book with Connor again!!”
About: I’ve been passionate about dogs and taking care of them since I was eight years old. During the COVID pandemic, I began walking and boarding puppies. I treat all our puppies as family members and would be delighted to welcome yours during your travels. I’m currently working on remote. My day consists of going on walks with pups, then the gym, and a coffee shop to respond to emails. Then back home. I have a fenced backyard and a deck for the puppies to enjoy. Because I mostly work from home, I will consistently keeping your pups company.
“I'm so happy to have left my dog in Bethany's care! You can tell she's an animal lover and treats pets with so much care and attention. I appreciated the photo she sent me while Korben was enjoying the dog park. I'm so happy to have found Bethany and I most certainly leave Korben with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Rachel is the best! She was very patient and kind with my shy dog Fern and made a loving home for her while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates as well! I could tell my dog was relaxed and really enjoyed her stay. She got to cuddle up on every piece of furniture as part of the family!”
“When we had to head out of town on short notice for a family funeral, Marina was a blessing. Grateful that we found her and that she was able to take such great care of our two pugs. She sent regular photos, kept us up to date and had a home ready for all sorts of pups. We highly recommend her, and plan to use her again!”
“Our pups loved their stay with Roberto! He is very communicative and sent us lots of pictures during their two-week stay and made sure they got plenty of walks and playtime. One of our dogs is somewhat dog-reactive and he knew exactly how to handle that. Highly recommend if you're looking for a caring individual who loves dogs!”
“Our second time with John and Joanna was another success! Our pup had a bit of diarrhea and Joanna alerted me and also kept me updated on what was being done to help. Also, I booked us to pick our dog up one day too early and didn’t realize it until the day of. Joanna was very gracious and it worked out for them to keep Callie one more day. Whew! I highly recommend these folks if you’re looking for people who will care for your pet as if it’s their own. The daily pics/videos were a nice thing to get too. 5 stars!”

Ja was very communicative and sent me some great pictures while on an extended trip for work and vacation. My girls also seemed to enjoy Leo’s company. Ja also followed all of the instructions for the girls care and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Would definitely recommend.
This was our 4th time booking with Kimberly, and once again, we had a great experience! Yomi was recovering from some stomach problems before her stay, but I trusted Kimberly to take good care of her. Yomi came home happy and healthy, which gave me such peace of mind. We truly appreciate Kimberly’s great care! We will definitely be booking with her again!
We love Lilly and her family! They always take such great care of our dog. They have been watching her off and on for years, back when she was young and now that she’s older and has oral meds to take. She is always well cared for and it’s hard to get her to leave at the end of her stay!
I can't say enough great things about Debra! As a first-time Rover customer, I was a little nervous about leaving my two pups, but she quickly eased all my concerns. From the very beginning, she was friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves animals. During the meet-and-greet, she treated my dogs like family! My travel plans included flying, and I ended up dealing with delays on my way home. Even with the unexpected schedule change, Debra remained incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Debra is the person to call. She has definitely become my go-to sitter, and I look forward to booking with her again!
Veronica was great with our dog. It was most important to us that she only took a single client at a time. She has two small dogs as well who get along very well with other dogs, including ours. She was very responsive and engaged and sent us daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring to us while we were on vacation.

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 .
