“Adonis and Kristina were wonderful hosts for Nikki for her first Rover experience. Nikki is a picky eater and can be a handful, but they were very patient and caring and kept me updated with notes and photographs. I hope to use them again if they have capacity.”
“Christine took great care of our high energy dog! She was communicative, reliable, and even sent pictures of our pup during his stay! They went on long walks and my dog seemed very happy. I would certainly trust Christine to watch my dog again in the future.”
“We just moved to the area a month ago, which means having to start from scratch in finding care for our dog Cali. We were so lucky to have found Ashanti, she was incredible. From the get go she was flexible on drop off and pick up times, along with very communicative. She made our Cali feel right at home and sent updates every day on Cali as well. We so appreciated her care and flexibility, she was very dependable and trustworthy. We highly recommend her to care for your little fur babies! 🥰”
“Robert is the best! He’s watched our Golden Retriever a few times and is constantly updating us with pictures. Our pup loves him. We will definitely be using robert all summer long.”
“Megan and Chris did a great job taking care of Murray! They took him on walks, provided picture updates each day and murray came home happy and not overly tired (like he does when he stays at a kennel). Great experience!”
“Jessica was amazing. She took my pups for what was supposed to be a quick trip that turned into another whole day. She was exceptionally flexible and understanding (which helps when your are sitting through a five hour delay at the airport). She ended up keeping my pups another night. Amazing caretaker and I will definitely hire her again!!”
“Margaret is a true animal lover, my dog loved her from the first moment he met her. She’s done both walks and boarding and we will happily use her services again.”
“We were very pleased with the care our dog Snoopy received from Jamie and her family! She was great about keeping us updated daily with messages and pictures and help put our minds at ease so we could fully enjoy our vacation. Will definitely be using Jamie again the next time the need arises for our old girl to go and stay somewhere. 5 stars!”
“I get anxious leaving my dog with anyone. When I do meet and greets I’m rarely at ease - but I was with Jaime and her family. I got frequent photos and updates (per my request) that she was doing great. They took her for daily walks in the AM when it was cooler, she could roam around in their shady backyard and cool off in the AC on hot days. Kierra is hit or miss with some dogs - her and Chile got along so well. Even with the difference in age (Kierra is 13.5) and it seemed like Chile respected her space. I felt so comfortable during my trip that I forgot about her - lol! That’s a good thing! I will definitely hire them again. Thank you!”
“Angela's home is devoted to efficiently and lovingly handling dogs. Angela welcomed my dog Shessy as part of the clan. Shessy received plenty of attention and all my requested needs for her were met with care and attention. The communication was excellent. I would trust my dog with Angela anytime, she is a very enthusiastic, warm, and conscientious caretaker.”
“Rui had our lil' ol Charlie Girl at her house for 3-nights (4 full days) and was caring and attentive to her needs. Charlie takes a few supplements and has a little more complex diet and Rui made sure she had all she needed. Charlie was grateful to have access to the bed and sofa, too. :-D We look forward Rui taking care of her, again, next month!”
About: I have had dogs as well as taken care of them for friends/family. I currently have a 1 year old cattle dog mix. She's friendly & very energetic so I know how to keep up (puzzle toys, games, toys, long walks, or running around the dog run at our apartment) to ensure they get enough attention & enrichment. I work from home & already have a routine with my pup! 2 meals per day, 2-3 walks per day (with potty breaks every 3-4 hours) and dog run if it's empty. During the weekend, we love long morning walks or hikes. When we're not moving around or playing, we're snuggled on the couch! I have a 1400+ sq ft apartment with plenty of room for your pup to roam. My dog will be in the home to keep yours company. My sisters live in the home; they're respectful, mind their own space, and love dogs. They also work 5-6 days/week so it's also pretty quiet during the week. My apartment has both stairs and elevator. Please note that I have a fish tank and plants that sit 2-3 ft off the floor and can be easily accessible.
“Eric and Kim took such good care of our boy, Cosmo! This was his first time at a new house and Eric walked him through it with him with such patience and care. Cosmo has found a new home away from home. Thank you!”
“Adrienne watched our dog Summit again and took excellent care of him. She was flexible on dropoff and pickup, sent updates and Summit had a great time at her house!”
“Jessica and Clayton were great with our dog, Bella! They sent us pictures and messages every day. Bella is also an anxious dog, and Jessica and Clayton made her feel safe—even over the July 4 holiday with all the fireworks!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Julia! From the moment we met her, I could tell that she really understands dogs and knows how to read their behavior. She balances warmth and sensitivity with confident, grounded leadership, so she clearly knows how to set appropriate boundaries and make dogs feel secure without being harsh or overbearing. She was effortlessly attentive and tuned in to my girl Cedar’s needs during our meet & greet, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her dog, Daisy, is such a sweet and gentle being as well. I’m so grateful my pup had such a good and safe doggie friend while I was away! Julia communicated through thoughtful little updates, anecdotes, pics, and vids, so I knew how Cedar was doing. She also went above and beyond by taking her on extra-special walks and giving her plenty of fun, enriching time outside. I’m very particular about who I leave my dog with, and I would absolutely trust Julia with her again. I feel really lucky to have found her!”
“My dog Lucy is sensitive, so I stress when I leave her anywhere. Enter Britney and her family. They were so loving to Lucy, engaging their children as well in petting and reassuring Lucy. I honestly couldn’t be happier. On top of the level of care, I had a last-minute snafu in my schedule and was delayed picking up Lucy. They were super flexible to arrange their schedule so we could meet later than planned. Expert and kind providers of dog care. Highly recommended!”

If you are looking for a wonderful, responsible, and enjoyable place for your dogs to stay when you are away, look no further than a stay with Heather and her family. My two dogs were obviously so well cared for during my trip. Heather made the whole process stress-free and I never worried about them once. (and I am typically a worrier when it comes to my dogs). Very highly recommend Heather and her family! 🐾❤️
We couldn’t be happier with the care rio received while we were away! Valeria welcomed him into her home and treated him like one of her own, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for\. Her communication was wonderful, and we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitter and will absolutely use her again.
Charissa was great with Cody during his first stay with her. He was a little more challenging in a new place and with new people, but Charissa’s messages made it all seem like things were going just fine. I appreciated that she did let me know what was happening, but I never felt like she couldn’t handle it. Loved all the photos she sent and would definitely use her again (if she’ll have Cody)!
My girls had a BLAST at Robyn’s house! Robyn is very kind and loving to my dogs, her dog was also very friendly and playful. I was able to leave for the weekend without worrying about my girls because I knew they were in good hands. They got to learn a new skill of using a doggy door ! And got to enjoy a spacious and safe fenced in backyard while I was away. We will definitely book with Robyn again
Jessica and her family were amazing with my dog Maverick! I was nervous to leave him for an extended stay, but I was always provided with updates and pictures and he was so well taken care of. Jessica stayed on top of all of his medications and handled his medical needs with lots of attention and care. I would definitely let Maverick stay again and would recommend her to anyone!
Brian was so wonderful with my boy, Ludo. He was responsive, flexible, attentive, and able to attune to Ludo's needs. He sent lots of updates and pictures and I could tell from the photos that Ludo was relaxed and having a great time. Will definitely be reaching out again when we need a sitter. Thanks, Brian!
Another wonderful stay with Irina for Otto! She was very accommodating of a last-minute request for sitting, as well as a change in pickup date. Communication is perfect as always, Otto absolutely adores Irina. If Irina is available she will ALWAYS be our first choice for Otto.
Sparky had a staycation with Meghan and Hakon and had the best time with them! They treat Sparky like their own dog and I am so grateful that I could go away and feel so comfortable that Sparky is in such great care. They sent me so many pictures and videos, loved to see them all while I was away. I’m sure Sparky can’t wait to go back, I was afraid he had too much fun he wouldn’t want to come home!

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 .
