“I cannot begin to describe how good it was to deal with Rahied. And I’m pretty confident coming home will be a bit of a letdown for Pax 😉. I hope to have reason to do business again.”
“Whitley is the absolute best! Gave our dog so much love, movement, and fun! Marshall loved playing with her dog too. She was super accommodating when our flight was delayed too.”
“Jonah and Casey took great care of Starr on are first weekend leaving her home. They asked all the right questions and kept in touch everyday we were away. I really was able to enjoy myself knowing she was in good hands!”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“Kadi was soo sweet and accommodating! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for a good and loving pet sitter! I will ask her to watch my dog Millie again in the future!! 😍😇🥰”
“Kane had another great stay with Steven while I was out of town. Great communication, provides photos and videos. I’ll continue to book with Steven anytime I’m on vacation. Thanks again!”
“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”
“Queeny provided a safe and welcoming home away from home for our two dogs. She sent us photos or videos every day to show that the dogs were healthy and happy, and we could tell that the dogs were stress-free when we came to collect them. We like the fact that there was an enclosed yard for them to run in, and that they were the only dogs in the home. We will definitely use Queeny again!”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, she provided exceptional care for our pupppy. She kept us updated with a ton of pictures and videos and was always quick to respond to any questions we had, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Her home is clean and welcoming, and it’s clear that she takes great pride in providing a safe and loving environment for the pets she cares for. Her professionalism and dedication truly stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog for a week while I was on vacation was a little nerve-wracking, but Cody immediately put me at ease. From our first interaction, it was clear that he is very experienced with dogs and genuinely enjoys caring for them. I have a high-energy Border Collie/Aussie mix, and he handled him wonderfully. He got plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy during his stay. I also really appreciated was the regular updates and photos he sent throughout the week. It was so reassuring to see how he was doing and know he was in good hands. I would absolutely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.”
“Blue had a great stay at Vicki and William’s house! They are both so kind and I felt no worries at all when leaving him in their care. The amount of communication, updates, and photos are amazing and are so helpful when I miss my pup. Their dog Bentley is also very sweet so I’m glad Blue has a friend!”
“Maritza and Daniel took care of our dog Asuna while we were on a vacation. My dog Asuna got along with their pug Lupe during the meet and greet and they have a lovely home.”
“Andrew & Linh did an outstanding job keeping me posted with Ruby’s care throughout her stay with comments, pics and videos! This was my first time having them watch her, and I will definitely ask again if I’m out of town!”
About: Hello! My pet experience consists of having my own doggy for the past 20 years. I rescued my older dog and then got a new puppy. My old Rose passed away but I had to give her eye medication and oral medication everyday so I am comfortable with that. I also grew up with family dogs and cared for those dogs. My availability to watch your dog is very flexible. I work from home a most days a week so it is a high chance that I could work from home while caring for your pup. I am a very caring person. I have a PhD in human development and family science and work in the social work field. I have a giant heart and would love to care for your doggie! As a stay-at-home worker, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My flexible schedule means I can easily accommodate pets’ needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine or being available for spontaneous walks and care. Being home also helps me monitor behavior closely and respond quickly to any changes, making pets feel secure, loved, and well looked after. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection and play throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean space and follow any routines or special instructions provided. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s established schedule to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, ensure fresh food and water, maintain cleanliness, and give each pet the love and attention they’re used to.
About: I am an animal lover with years of experience taking care of my own dogs and my friends’ many pets. I love to take long walks or sit and hang with animals if that’s what your pets need. I have had dogs in the house since I was a baby, most of which have been large high-energy dogs, so I can handle the big loud pups. My most recent pet was a high-needs senior dog, so I understand the anxiety that comes along with leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I am happy to take care of any special needs and send updates/pictures to ease your mind. I have a soft spot for seniors. In the summer I work from home on weekdays. I have some flexibility when it comes to being able to take longer breaks as long as I can get all my work time in. I have lots of flexibility during weeknights and weekends! My home: I have a great home for dogs, with lots of open space and a fenced back yard. Since I work from home, I would be able to keep an eye on your pets all day long. I have a partner who is home most weeknights and weekdays as well. We recently lost our senior dog and we would love to fill our house with wags and barks again. Clients home: I have lots of experience pet sitting at friends’ homes, so I can adapt to whatever you need at your home. I am very flexible so if you’re curious about how often I can come over or anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.
“Mariana is the first sitter I’ve had on Rover, and she did amazing!!! My Rika girl was in heaven the whole week she was with Mariana and her family. She sent pictures multiple times a day, was extremely responsive, and even took time to start teaching Rika “lay down”. She went above and beyond and Rika was happy and exhausted when I picked her up, will definitely use again!”
“Sogol just watched our senior dog for six nights while we were on vacation. She was extremely helpful from the moment we reached out and kept us informed with messages and photos throughout the stay. She is very personable and warm and has a clear love for animals. We will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“Monica is absolutely awesome! She is so kind and sent lots of funny updates when I was out of town to keep me in the loop. My dog was all smiles when I picked him up. He slept for like 2 days straight after getting home so they must have stayed busy & had lots of fun lol. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the future. Thanks again!”

Kara was an amazing dog sitter for Molly! She was very kind, attentive, and kept us updated with daily pictures while we were away. Molly got plenty of walks, car rides, and attention, and she looked like she was having a great time. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Kara again and highly recommend her!
We are new to the area and finding a good dog sitter is always a bit stressful. Kadi put me and my dog, Phoebe, at ease almost immediately upon meeting her. She is friendly, welcoming, and truly cares! Kadi asked important questions about my dog to ensure the boarding was tailored to Phoebe's needs. Throughout her stay, we received updates and pictures that gave us peace of mind that Phoebe was not an after thought, but part of the family!
This was not our first experience with Rachel and won’t be our last. Rachel was great! Our dog clearly enjoyed his time with Rachel and her pack as made evident by the video updates throughout his stay and by the fact that he’s still sleeping two days later. So much thought and care put into every day. Thank you!!
Anna was a wonderful pet sitter. Ozzy stayed with her for the first time for 3 days and he truly didn’t want to leave. He genuinely missed Anna and her dog when we took him home. She sent multiple pictures each day so that I could see how content he was. I will definitely be booking Anna again and highly recommend her.
Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!
Whitney is the absolute best dog sitter. She watches my baby like she would her own, and my pup gets along so well will her doggo :) She has amazing communication, sends videos, let’s me play voice notes for my pup and makes she I know she’s not just alive and well, but happy and better than ever. We call Whitney’s house “Summer Camp” for Winnie and she’s so excited to go every time!
Gillian is the absolute best! Took exceptional care of our dog while we were away and really went above and beyond to ensure his happiness. Sent us great updates and we felt so comfortable and thankful to have him in such good hands while we were away. Could not be happier or recommend her more highly.
Leaving our pups with Rachel was amazing. She has the same approach to dog life as we do. Lots of updates and pictures. Playing, couch cuddles, and settling down for the evening (they slept on her bed with her, their preference at home as well). We have already booked another stay with her and look forward to more. There is absolutely no doubt they're in great hands.
Jennifer was great with Basil. She sent updates and Basil always looked like he was having a good time and getting lots of attention. It was really hard to leave our pup and Jennifer made us feel a lot better, knowing she was being so caring with him. I would recommend Jennifer and use her again.
