âMafalda amazing sitter! Super communicative, always on time, and truly cared for our pups. She went above and beyond when one of our pups had an accident in the crateâhandled everything perfectly. She also spent quality time with them, not just quick visits. We came home to happy dogs and will absolutely book her again!â

âThank you for taking good care of Sam! I felt very comfortable with her from the moment I met her at our meet and greet. We will definitely book her again.â

âI am so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter! My puppy is like my baby, so finding someone I could trust was very important to me. From the moment they met, my pup felt comfortable and even gives her kissesâwhich says a lot! I feel completely at ease knowing heâs in safe, loving hands. She provides the best quality of care, always sends me pictures, and responds quickly to any messages. I couldnât ask for more!â


About: Iâve taken care of dogs & cats of all kinds ever since I started babysitting kids. From walking to overnights, I enjoy hanging out with your fur babies very much and would love to help you with any pet needs! Iâm currently working full time, M-F 9-5pm. I am available for early morning or nighttime walks during the week or any needs on the weekends. Open to overnights at pet owners home! I have a fenced in dog area at my apartment as well as many nearby parks and safe sidewalks in my neighborhood. Any sittings at your home will be treated with respect and care!
âRobin is great with our two westies. One of ours is 15 and has specific care instructions and heâs always happy and feeling great when we get home. We will continue to have Robin watch our pups when weâre away and have great peace of mind.â
âIm really happy with Stella, she was very patient with my babies Blue and Bruno, they are very special and spoiled dogs⌠Iâll use her again and I recommend her to anyone. Thank you Stella!â

âCatherine was fantastic, and I would highly recommend her. She treated our pet like a long, lost friend... Lots of attention and lots of communication with us on a daily basis. We returned home to find our cat happy and our home well cared for too. Thank you, Cathy!â

âMaria watched my dog for a week at my home while we were on vacation. It was the first time that I left him with someone I didn't know. She helped make him feel comfortable and he did really well! She sent pictures and updates and responded to my questions promptly. She left my home neat as well! I would recommend and hire her again!â

âThank you so much, Maura! We truly appreciate the wonderful care you gave our dogs, Linda and Honey, during the 8 days you spent with them. You were attentive, responsible, and so loving with them, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Maura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We are very grateful for everything you did!â

âCharlene was wonderful with our animals and sent plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She was quick to reply to my messages, offered to meet up a couple times before the stay to make sure all the animals were comfortable with her, and she made sure our house was cleaned up before we got home, as if we had never left! I will definitely recommend Charlene for anyone who needs a pet sitter!â

âDawn took care of our fur babies as if they were were her own. We had peace of mind leaving them in such caring hands. Our dogs just loved her!â

âAlyssa is a real sweetheart..our dogs loved her and when we came home they were super happy. The house was left clean and tidy and everything was in its place the way it should be... I will recommend the service provided to anyone who loves there pet. I will definitely be using Rover again and Alyssa will be my first choice by far.. Many thanks Alyssaâ


âNicole is great - she has stayed at our home with our two dogs twice and they absolutely love her . I have used rover a few other times and had OK sitters - she truly is one of the best and I completely trust my babies with her !â
âKimmeth did an amazing job watching our two dogs while we are on vacation for a week. She stayed in our home and was very detailed in following "instructions" and sending daily updates and photos. Our two little dogs seemed very happy and content when we returned. I highly recommend Kimmeth!â

âNicky was the most professional person. Arriving a few minutes early to ensure he got everything he needed done prior to arriving (securing parking, front desk reception etc.). Asked thoughtful questions about the care of our dog. Checked in throughout the day, and ensured our dog was walked throughout the day. Our dog LOVED him And even gave him her paw (which she only does when she is comfortable). You could tell he truly cares about dogs/animals. Anytime Nicky is free weâd love for him to sit our dog Bagheera any day. Could not ask for a better sitter.â

About: Iâm a lifelong animal lover who believes dogs deserve all the love, belly rubs, and happy walks they can get! Iâve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities â from playful puppies to older cuddle bugs â and I absolutely love spending time with them! Whether itâs a long walk, rough housing, or just cozy couch time, Iâll make sure your pup feels cared for, safe, and loved while youâre away. I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their quirks and favorite things. You can expect lots of text updates, silly photos, and goofy videos! đžâ¨ I work unique hours during the week, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, and quality pet time. My flexible schedule lets me give pets consistent care and attention without feeling rushed. Safety is ALWAYS my first focus â keeping doors locked, leashes secure, and routines consistent. Iâm attentive during walks and play, and always make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for.
âWe had such a wonderful vacation with all our family after a brutal year and a half apart due to the pandemic. Thanks to Laura, we never worried about our home or our dogs. She let us know every day that all was well.â

âPayal was absolutely fantastic with our little Ollie. He is very nervous and she made him comfortable and happy. She sent many pictures and videos and made us feel very comfortable being away. We will definitely use her next time we need a dog sitter. Itâs very obvious that she loves dogs â¤ď¸â

I are beyond grateful to have found Mafalda! She has been day-sitting in our home and taking incredible care of both of my dogsâour brand-new 3-month-old Pomeranian and our 8-year-old Pomapoo. From day one, she has been so attentive and loving, making sure both dogs feel comfortable and happy. She gives them tons of cuddles, plenty of playtime, and thoughtful attention throughout the day with so many walks. Itâs clear she truly loves what she does, and the dogs absolutely adore her. Having someone I trust completely in my home with my pups gives me such peace of mind. Iâm so thankful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.

Awesome experience with Sean! He took great care of our dogs over the weekend and did a great job watching the house for us. We got regular updates and pics of our pups while we were away that put us at ease. He did such a good job weâre having him back for our next vacation!

Jackie was wonderful (again) with our two dogs while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. We really appreciated the updates and knowing they were in good hands, which made it much easier to relax while we were gone. Weâd absolutely trust her with our dogs again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!

This is Susha's second time acting as Ernie's groomer lol. At least, that's what he says. The boy loves getting brushed (and fed and given treats), and Susha does all that like a pro. Additionally, the house was spotless when I returned. Her communications are great, and I highly recommend Susha as a petsitter. Except, of course, when I'm out of town.

We had an absolutely amazing experience and cannot recommend Genesis enough. She was available same day over the Christmas holiday after our original dog sitter unexpectedly became unavailable, which alone was such a relief. She met with us within hours, was extremely professional, and immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly friendly and engaging with our dogs, and it was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. Since this was our first time trusting someone we didnât know, her calm and confident demeanor made all the difference. Throughout the entire sit, she provided consistent updatesâletting us know when the dogs ate, went out for potty breaks, woke up, and went to sleep. Those updates gave us so much peace of mind, and we truly felt comfortable the entire time we were away. We are so grateful for the care she provided and will 100% be using her again. Thank you for such a wonderful experienceâour dogs were in great hands!

Lauren came to stay at our house for a little under a week to watch our dog, Benji. Benji loved her from the start, which was very reassuring since he is a rescue and can be quite nervous around new people. She was communicative throughout the whole stay and went above and beyond to take good care of him. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her watch Benji again!

We had a fantastic experience with Gary! Communication was very simple & easy. He spent time making sure he understood how we wanted things done. He kept us posted with pictures. Gary was also very flexible regarding a curve ball we threw him. But most important of all, our dogs loved him!! They are absolutely involved with any sitter selection we make. We had 8 âpaws upâ from them on Gary. It becomes obvious within seconds of meeting Gary that heâs a dog lover and a kind, gentle, positive person. We recommend him without hesitation and will definitely use him again in the future.
Daniela took such great care of our boys â our wild Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy and our senior Shih Tzu â and handled them like a total pro. She was super patient with the puppy energy, gentle and attentive with my older dog, and kept me updated the whole time so I never had to worry. On top of that, she left my home spotless. She went above and beyond in every way, and I came back to two happy dogs and a clean house. I couldnât ask for anything more. If youâre looking for someone you can trust with your pets and your home, Daniela is the one. Iâll definitely be booking her again!
