“Jason did a wonderful job caring for my puppy! He was quick at responding to any questions I had prior to the stay, and sent photo and text updates during the stay. My puppy had a great time and I would have her stay with Jason again.”
“Lori was so accommodating to us and after meeting for the first time, we knew our dog would be in wonderful hands. We appreciated the photos and updates along the way!”
“Honestly if I was able to give Megan 1 millions stars I would! She is kind, trustworthy and dependable. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting services. She takes wonderful care of all the animals in her care as well as sends tons of updates/pictures throughout the day. We have booked with Megan now 4 times because she truly is the best!”
“Madison was so great with Geode. He had some anxiety and she handled it so well and he was just part of the family! Loved it and have already rebooked in a few weeks!”
About: I’ve taken care of quite a few dogs since I was young. I’ve had two dogs myself but currently don’t have any furry friends. I regularly dog-sit my parents’ dog and have occasionally watched other dogs. I do not work during the summer so I am home most of the time other than when running errands or the occasional day trip. This will allow me to keep whatever schedule your dog is used to. We have a fenced in yard with a few doggy neighbors. We do not have any furry pets at the moment so yours will get all the attention!
“Jake was fantastic with Stewie and Oscar - he made various accommodations for our cat who took some time adjusting to a new environment. Our dog, Stewie, made himself at home and had a great time hanging with Walter, Scout, and Jake. Highly recommend! Thank you so much ?”
“Anastasiia was EXCELLENT!! Communication was great and she included daily pictures and videos. My dog has anxiety during storms and she was very compassionate with him. I couldn’t be happier with the way she treated Chipper!!”
“I recently used Rover for the first time for a 7 night trip and found Abbey as she was highly rated and nearby. I can tell my dog Percy loved his stay and will definitely be using Abbey again in the future.”
“Adela was amazing! She watched Honey for us for 2 nights and she was very responsive and sent a ton of pictures :) Honey loved the yard and playing with Adela’s dogs. Would definitely book again!”
“My dog Chloe immediately took to Ty's calm good nature. Ty has great communication and proved to be an excellent dog-sitter! He went above and beyond when he watched her an extra night and day while we were stranded from a snow storm. Would highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix named Maverick. I also volunteer with local animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As a medical student, I’m used to staying organized, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to routines and behavior. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, extra patience, medication, or just a comfortable place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs. I’m currently a medical student, and much of my coursework can be completed from home. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. While my schedule varies slightly week to week, I’m generally available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship. I make every effort to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I only board one guest dog at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention. I also have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix who enjoys other dogs when it’s a good fit. I always take introductions slowly and make sure both dogs are comfortable before allowing interactions. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any other instructions that help your pet feel at home.
“Grace was a perfect fit for our spoiled little girl! Her dog Archer, is a sweet and mellow boy. We rebooked Ellie with Grace when we picked her up on Sunday, for later in the week already. We felt that comfortable with her!”
“Our somewhat clingy mini aussidoodle stayed with Ali when we were out of town for a weekend. Ali did an amazing job looking after Murphy. I felt very comfortable leaving Murphy in her care. Ali is a wonderful communicator who is higly knowledgeable about dogs of every size and character. She has a clear understanding and compassion for all of her canine friends. She sent several pictures of their walks and adventures. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Murphy! I highly recommend Ali as a sitter and will definitely book with her again. Five stars!!”
“As first-time Rover users, we were curious about the process, and Micki and her family were a great introduction to dog sitting! They provided an abundance of love, care, and safety for our two corgis. They were super flexible with drop off and pick up and sent many wonderful photos and videos. They would be our first-choice sitters when the need arises!”
