“He made my trip worry free because I knew my Deacon was in good hands. From the very first meet and greet, my Deacon felt his passion for his kind. I would recommend Subhabrat to anyone wanting good quality care for their pet while away.”

“Jennifer was very nice and kept me updated throughout Olivers overnight stay. This was his first time being away from home so I was a little bit nervous, but she provided multiple pictures and videos which kept me calm. She responds very quickly and has open communication. He went on lots of walks which I know he enjoyed. At pick up she gave me feedback on his behavior during his stay which I appreciated. I’d book with Jennifer again, I know my baby was safe and well taken care of!”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
“Yuberkis was great! I left my baby with her for 5 days while I was on a trip and she updated me everyday and sent me videos and photos of him. My dog is 14 yrs old and requires a little extra attention and I can tell he was very well taken care of. I would definitely leave him with her again”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Zhe provided for my pup Mia! From start to finish, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. Zhe kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Mia was in great hands and having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Zhe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Amy did so well with my little anxious chihuahua! She consistently sent photos and I know she did everything she could to make my old gal comfortable. I’d use her again in a heartbeat!”
“I needed super last minute emergency help and Nitasha & Neerav not only took my chihuahua who they had never met but they drove last minute to come collect her from me. Then they dropped her back off after two days of keeping me updated with videos and letting me know she was ok. They also said they would be happy to have her back. I am glad to know there is a trustworthy couple who clearly really care and can make your life easier when you need it. Thank you both!”
“Kun, his wife and their pup Som were incredible hosts to Thor! They were amazing communicators, consistently kept you updated, and were extremely mindful to ask about any health concerns, allergies or tendencies. Thor was very sad to leave them but he will definitely see them again! They also provided us with the cutest Polaroid photo of him and Som! Thank you both so much for allowing Thor to stay with you!!”
“Eleanor was great!! We booked last minute with her after our dog had a surgery and couldn’t be around other dogs. She was super loving, went on tons of walks with him, and even cooked chicken and rice for him! He seemed very happy and settled in when we picked him up. She was also communicative throughout the stay. We will book with her again!”

“Kira was amazing with sending updates/photos throughout the day and made me comfortable leaving Napoleon with her and her family for a few days!”
“This was Oakley’s first time staying with Hoyjin and Chulmin, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were responsive, kind, and attentive to Oakley’s needs. They provided frequent updates that put my mind at ease while I was on vacation. They treated Oakley like family and he looked so happy and comfortable in their care. Knowing he was in such a safe and loving environment made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my time away. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave Oakley, and I would absolutely love to have them watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I'm new to Rover, but certainly not new to pet caring. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of raising and fostering a parade of dogs and cats. As someone who solely does pet caring, I have plenty of time to dote on your furry babies. Under my care, your pet will be treated like one of the family. My home is spacious, pet-friendly, and comes with a fully fenced backyard perfect for frolics and fresh air. And don’t worry—I totally get how hard it is to be away from your beloved pet. That’s why I’ll send regular updates (with lots of cute, frame-worthy photos!) so you can follow and feel confident your furry companion is safe, loved, and thriving. I am home all day so can spend a lot of quality time with your pet. I am available to walk, provide day care or drop in to watch your pet. I have a large house with a fenced in backyard and a friendly cat and playful dog at home to keep your pet company. I can also visit your house and feed and play with your pet if that's needed.
“We had a nice experience with Anna! She took great care of Willow while we were away. Willow doesn't love to walk, so it was key that Anna was able to provide a spacious backyard for her to run and play. We really appreciated the regular updates—pictures and videos were such a thoughtful touch and gave us total peace of mind. It’s always hard leaving your pet, but knowing Willow was in such good hands made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“This was our first time using Rover and the first time our 12-week old mini schnauzer, Boba, was away from us. We could not have asked for a better experience! David went above and beyond taking care of our little boy! We traveled to NYC from DC for the US Open Finals and booked Boba to stay with David for the weekend. From the time we met him, David alleviated our worries about our first time away from Boba. He loved on Boba from the start and sent us updates throughout the weekend with beautiful pictures of Boba’s adventures in NYC — from walks to playtime in the park and at home, mealtime, and bedtime. When we go to NYC and need someone to care for Boba, we will definitely book with David again!”
“Miruna was great with our little rat terrier Lola - lots of pictures and updates throughout our Lola's visit. I would highly recommend Miruna if you're looking for a patient, caring, and attentive sitter!”
“Dasja was awesome—as my first time doing rover dogsitting I was naturally nervous and we spoke on the phone days before, she answered all of my questions and made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent photos and videos the whole day and my dog was happy and exhausted by the time he was home. Will definetly use her again!!”

“I am pleased to provide a testimonial for Lori as a pet sitter. Having been an animal lover for many years, Lori has dedicated 10 years to caring for cats in her home, and for the past few years, she has also been the proud owner of Gemma, her playful Shibu. Lori takes exceptional care of her pets and genuinely enjoys their company. Her natural affinity with animals is evident in her ability to follow instructions meticulously when pet sitting for others. Lori's three boys share her love for animals, creating a supportive environment for any pet in their care. With a flexible schedule, Lori is readily available to accommodate your needs, whether you have a cat or a dog. Her extensive experience with cats allows her to understand and cater to their needs effortlessly. I do recommend Lori as a pet sitter. Her passion for animals and her commitment to their well-being make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking reliable and loving care for their furry family members.”
