“Javier took exceptional care of my fur baby and went above and beyond to make both of us feel comfortable from the very beginning. It was clear that she was well cared for, loved, and happy while I was away. I truly appreciated the updates, kindness, and professionalism. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Connor is fantastic! He always communicates about drop-off and pick up and is very flexible. He sends photos and videos showing our dog playing and having a great time. He is our go-to Rover and our dog loves him!”
“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
“I would give Tiara five stars without hesitation. Over the years I’ve used many Rover sitters for Ajax, and Tiara is the first one I’ve recommended to friends and the first sitter I’ve felt compelled to review. She really is that good. Because of her veterinary background, she noticed a few things that were bothering Ajax and took care of them right away. That level of knowledge and attentiveness gave me tremendous peace of mind. She sent daily messages and videos and asked thoughtful questions about Ajax’s likes, dislikes, and routines so she could care for her in the best possible way. When I picked Ajax up, Tiara even had a thank-you bag waiting for us that included paw artwork by Ajax, several toys, treats, and adorable photo stickers. It was such a thoughtful touch. When I travel—especially for longer trips like this one (almost two weeks)—I’m usually worried about Ajax. With Tiara, I felt confident from the start that Ajax was in excellent hands. I highly recommend her.”
“It was such a pleasure meeting Natalie! She was so sweet and capable, Shayla took to her and her son Ben almost immediately. I felt confident with her right off the bat. She sent daily updates and pics, I couldn’t ask for more, really. But it was the quality of care that I noticed and my pup was returned to me a happy dog.”
“Paul was great looking after Nellie over thanksgiving! Sent a bunch of photos throughout the week of her with his family and gave updates throughout her stay. Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!”
“Jonathan & Rebecca were wonderful dog sitters of my 7 month old puppy. They kept in communication and allowed her to run around and play as well as soothe her when she was anxious. They sent me pictures throughout the day which allowed me to feel relaxed about her well being. I would highly recommend. 🐶”
“Not sure there is enough room to leave Michael all the praise he deserves! We left our 1.5 year old golden retriever with him for a long weekend and we did not worry for a second. Michael sent us frequent updates/pictures and gave him so much exercise and love. He answered any questions we had and was very responsive. He cares a great deal about dogs- we cannot recommend him enough. Will use again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Natasha! Communication around drop-off and pick-up was seamless and easy. Most importantly, we really appreciated how sweet and caring she was with Sophie. It was clear that Sophie was in good hands and well cared for. We would absolutely rebook with her in the future without hesitation!”
“She was very accommodating, last minute, kept us updated with a lot of pictures throughout the day. My blue had a great time! She was very responsive and made us feel very comfortable. I will definitely be calling her again. She is now my go to sitter!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren and her family were great! Our 5 month old Jack Russel had a wonderful time with them! Lauren sent regular message updates and pictures while we were away for a week! She even made sure to buy extra dog food in case they run out of the dog food I prepared (he's a growing boy!). I am very happy to have found Lauren on Rover and will definitely come back to her when we need a dog sitter again.”
“Cherish was great with my dog. I got loads of pictures and was really happy with how well she cared for my dog. Dog boarding can be difficult, but cherish made it easy and it allowed me to enjoy my vacation worry free. I highly recommend cherish.”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for most of my adult years, and I genuinely love being around them! I’ve cared for small and medium sized dogs, but dogs of all sizes are welcome. I enjoy making sure every dog gets plenty of attention, love, and exercise while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, getting some zoomies out, enjoying mealtime, or just relaxing and getting lots of cuddles, I’m happy to keep your pup happy and comfortable. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m always happy to follow their normal schedule and any special instructions you provide. I currently work full time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your pet the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can often accommodate last minute requests. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your fur baby will have plenty of attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet will be welcomed into a loving, comfortable, and pet friendly apartment home! I have a mini Schnauzer of my own who is friendly, playful, and full of personality. He loves having a furry friend around! I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, meals, cuddles, and relaxation time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My home is a place where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Amarilis was kind, responsible, and attentive, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Tyson was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave Tyson. I would definitely recommend Amarilis to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
It was our first time using Anny and she did an awesome job taking care of our little one for 2 weeks. She gave us daily updates either thru pictures, videos or short messages on how our little Sophie was doing. We love that she only takes 1 dog at a time so we are sure that she is able to give attention to our little one. Would definitely come back for future sittings…
Max stayed with Ji over the weekend of August 14 and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept me updated throughout our time out of town, which gave me great peace of mind. Ji was also very attentive to Max’s stomach issues and made sure he was well cared for and comfortable. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave him!
Kim really is the kindest and sweetest soul, she made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her for 2 weeks! She sent multiple pictures everyday and updated me on everything. Kim loved my baby as if he was her own and was amazing with him the whole time. Literally could not thank her enough!!!
Raheem was great! He is very friendly and laid-back, which is a great match for our dog, Coco, who gets overexcited very easily. From the start, he was prompt with communication and information. He scheduled a meet-and-greet and shared more about his experience taking care of dogs, While we were away, he kept us posted on how Coco was doing throughout the week. We had some travel delays on our return trip and he was able to accommodate some small changes in the pick-up time at the last minute. Coco was a happy girl when we picked her up and it was clear she had a good time. We'd definitely use Raheem again!
Richard and Kate are amazing dog parents and dog sitters, I left my pup with them for a week , they took very good care of him and treated him as their own. They sent regular updates and pictures and i could enjoy my vacation without any worries. I am lucky to find them here and will consider them for my future travels too.
Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!
NASA Lived with Cristian for a week. Everything went well. She's seemed comfortable around him when I went to pick her up. Two minor concerns were inadequate photos, videos and terse updates or sometimes no updates daily. Also found matting of hair locks on her ears.
