“Yeju was great!! She gave an update each day with pictures and took my pup on plenty of walks. She even baked some dog treats to share when picking up. 10/10 would book again!”

“Kylo loves Marieclaire! She is so sweet with him and he instantly was able to bond with her and Kai. She also was accommodating when we had a last minute change in plans which really saved us! Would definitely use her to watch Kylo again and recommend her to watch your fur baby.”

About: I was always the pet sitting friend with now 5 years of my own! My kiddos are trained, loving, and friendly :) As a remote worker, I offer constant care, attention, and stimulation. My location is prime for parks and dog runs while being easy to get to! Structure is the most important aspect of care! Weekdays have mornings consisting of a neighborhood walk and afternoons for play. Any break I have in work, I’m able to provide stimulation or take additional potty breaks. On weekends, your pet can join mine for field trips to new parks or the lake! Care is specific to each 4 paws walking through the dog so please forward me any details to know! My objective is to make my home their vacation :)

“Nathan was phenomenal! This was my first time using Rover and he went above and beyond to make me and my pup feel as comfortable and cared for as possible! Constant communication, pictures, and updates! Even when I wasn’t responding. Getting to see my pup enjoying Nathan was awesome and I truly appreciate the level of care and compassion he put into the entire weekend. Not only did he do a great job with beaux, he also went out of his way to help me get beaux to him, as well as dealing with my poor planning on the original booking and sticking him with Beaux for an extra couple of hours on the back end when he truly did not have to do either of those things! At any point Nathan could have called my emergency contact and been done with the whole thing but he stuck it out with me and beaux and truly made this an awesome experience! 5 stars isn’t enough! Thank you for everything my friend!”

“Omar has kept our dog, Mika, twice now and she always has a great stay! Mika always loves playing with Omar’s dog, and we always appreciate Omar sending photos of the dogs playing or snuggling. Omar is very responsive and flexible when travel plans are up in the air as well. We’d highly recommend Omar for others looking for dog sitters and will be requesting Omar’s services again for Mika’s next stay.”

“Katie was great! Chloe seemed like she had a fun time with her. Katie sent lots of pictures! We also were really grateful for how accommodating Katie was - our flight was delayed and she was so nice about us having to switch around pickup plans.”

“Angel has been nothing but incredible. I have brought my dog to him 3 times now and every time it is a smooth drop off/pick-up process. He treats my dog incredibly well and will continue to use Angel moving forward.”

“Another great stay at Elizabeth's house for our energetic puppy. When we brought him home he was sad and whiney because he wanted to go back he had so much fun. We love this family and their care that they give Oliver. If you are on the fence about using Rover....search no further and give Elizabeth and her sweet family a try. You will not be disappointed with their exceptional care of your furry friend!”

Crystal S.

“It was so great to have our pup stay with Chad for the second time! Chad is so easy to communicate with and clearly takes such good care of our boy - all the love and play time for him we could hope for while we’re away! We will definitely look to rely on Chad and his wife as our regular pup sitters whenever possible!”

“Rafael took great care of our dog. He was open to a "pre-meet" which set a supportive tone for the rest of the time our dog stayed with him. He provided regular updates (photos and videos), and showed great care. I would highly recommend Rafael.”

Paul F.

“Christina is amazing with my baby girl Cocoa!! As soon as we turn the corner, Cocoa cant contain her excitement to reach Christina’s home. I get a bunch of updates and cuddly pics while I’m away (they’re great but I get fomo!!!) lol”

Marlene S.

“Tilly stayed with Adam for a whole week and truly appreciated the services! I had some moving start and end times due to a last minute change to flying and Adam was very accommodating. She is happy to see him and makes me enjoy my trip much more knowing she seems very content and happy while I am away!”

Haylee H.

“Cecile and Michael were great with Lucy! They were extremely accommodating to meet me and Lucy prior to booking and were great to provide updates during Lucy’s stay with them!”

Nuriya C.

“Samantha is awesome!! Hazel clearly loved her stay with Samantha (and of course, her sweet pup Rosie). Samantha provided multiple updates (and very cute photos), and I felt very comfortable leaving Hazel at someone else's place overnight for the first time. She's great with dogs, very flexible, and knows how to handle high-energy dogs. Will definitely be booking with Samantha again, and I know Hazel will be excited to go back and spend time with her new friends!”

About: One-on-one home care from a border collie mom — from puppies to seniors. Hi! I’m a border collie mom and a longtime Rover user myself, so I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I rescued and raised my dog Poppy from about three months old — she’s almost six now. At the same time, I also cared for my other rescued border collie, Lincoln, from adulthood through his senior years (ages 6 to 14). Through Poppy and Lincoln, I’ve experienced the full journey of dog care, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and learned how different each life stage’s needs truly are. 🐾 One client at a time, always I take only one client at a time, so your dog receives my full attention. Poppy and I are a team — she’s a friendly, well-balanced 6-year-old who enjoys gentle play without being overly excitable, offering healthy social time while I focus on individual care and supervision. 🏡 A calm, flexible daily routine I have a hybrid job and work from home most of the week. And I live just 5 minutes from a dog park and also have a dog run in my building, so outdoor time is always convenient. Your dog will receive at least two 30-minute walks daily, with plenty of chances to release energy and relax. 📸 Thoughtful updates, real communication You’ll receive daily updates with photos and a brief summary of walks, mood, and routines — not just a quick “doing great” message. If you’d like, I’m also happy to FaceTime, because I know how much you miss your pup. We can adjust update frequency to whatever makes you feel most comfortable. 🛋️ A true home environment Your dog is welcome to roam freely in my apartment — on furniture and even on the bed if that’s what they’re used to. I respect each dog’s habits and routines. Crates are never required, but you’re welcome to bring one, and I also have a large crate available if needed. I’m best suited for dogs who enjoy calm, one-on-one care and a balanced mix of attention, activity, and downtime. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — just as I’d want for my own. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my daily life. I have a border collie myself and spend around two hours each day walking and playing with her — she keeps me active and joyful! I live just two minutes away from a dog park, so your loved one will have plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fun. You can count on me to give them the same love, care, and attention I give my own. ❤️ I live in an apartment with a dog park just two minutes away, so there will be plenty of playtime and walks every day. Your dog will also get to play and socialize with my own friendly border collie. If your dog is older, no worries, I had an 14 years old senior before and understand that every dog has their own pace and needs. I’ll always adjust to make sure your pup feels comfortable, loved, and cared for.

“I can’t say enough good things about Amy! As a traveling pet parent, she was a dream. A ton of communication and photos, and I could tell how much my dog loved her, her boyfriend, and animals. Would 100% request her again.”

“Che did a great job watching our dog Evie over a long weekend. She was responsive, sent updates, and very easy to work with. Definitely plan to book again with her!”
