“Juan (sitter) kept me updated regularly while we were away and sent me pictures and videos of Bobo. Bobo had separation anxiety for the first couple of days, but Juan made sure to reassure him. Bobo adapted and I think he enjoyed the company of Juan's dogs. Bobo has readjusted home just fine. I would use this sitter through Rover.com again!”
“Lili is an amazing sitter. My Leo came home happy, clean and tired. He had so much fun there. I got updates, photos and videos from her everyday. She was so accommodating when our flight was delayed and couldn’t pick him up on time. I highly recommend her and I will definitely return.”
“Had an amazing experience with Douglania! From our first meeting to introduce our dog, to the pick up time. She kept us posted, sent us timely feedback and picture! We will def book again!”
“Catherine was awesome! She was very communicative, sent plenty of photos and videos, and definitely spoiled my babies! She was a positive energy from beginning to end! My babies loved staying with her and was able to get comfortable within the first night of staying.”
“My puppy absolutely enjoyed her boarding, she cried on her way home when I picked her up. Susan and her kids took great care of my puppy. She sent pictures and updates multiple times daily. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“I have use Susana's service few times and I feel very comfortable with her, my dogs are taking care very well by her. I can see that she love dogs and I see that my dogs loves going to her house.”
“I can’t recommend her highly enough! She took wonderful care of my baby (my fur-child ❤️) and went way above and beyond what I expected. From day one, she sent me adorable pictures multiple times a day so I never felt out of the loop. She kept me updated. It truly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My pet came back happy, healthy, and clearly very loved. She’s the best I’ve ever used—hands down. I will 100% be booking her again and recommending her to everyone I know! Thank you so much for being amazing! 🌟🐾”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful. We visited before I brought Sol over for boarding. There was a large fenced in back yard for dogs to run and play. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Sam’s care. I will continue to use Sam to care for my dog when I have to be out of town. Sam also sent NMEA pictures and text updates on Sol’s sleep-over. Sam’s the best!”
“Caroline was wonderful with Oliver. She kept me updated throughout his visit and sent pictures showing Oliver enjoying himself. I highly recommend her services and look forward to having her watch my puppy in the future. It is such a relief to know that my puppy was in good hands so I didn’t have to worry about him.”
“This was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Brian was amazing. He sent me updates and pictures several times a day, and my pups looked very happy. The best part of Brian’s service is that he works from home so my pups were with him all day. It made me feel good knowing that my pups weren’t in a kennel all day like they would be in at the pet resort I used in the past. I highly recommend Brian. He’s the best!”
“Westley wasn't feeling good on this trip. Vanessa and family shot straight into action and got Wesley to the vet. Thank goodness for her and her family. Thank you so very much. I didn't realize it had been so long and I hadn't said thank you!”
“Laurie and Michael provided a safe and loving home for Cowboy while we attended the Daytona 500 weekend festivities. Highly recommend! Absolutely no worries and Laurie sent videos and pictures throughout the weekend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We brought our dogs by before their stay, and they loved having the large backyard to run and play in. Although there was a small language barrier, communication was still easy. She also sent us pictures to keep us updated, which we really appreciated. Such a nice couple to trust with your dogs while you’re away!”
About: As a long-time owner and caretaker for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities (from high-energy dogs to independent cats and even the occasional reptile in between), I understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby with someone else, and that is a responsibility I do not take lightly. I have hands-on experience with everything from everyday routines to more complex medical and behavioral needs, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of situations calmly and confidently. I’m very attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own—and work hard to make sure you feel just as confident and at ease as they do! I work remotely, so thankfully I’m able to fit pet care naturally into my day. I’m around to make sure they’re cared for consistently—whether that’s walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks or anything else they might need. I’m intentional about the bookings I accept and only take on clients when I can provide their pets the level of care and attention they deserve. My goal when caring for your pet while you’re away is always the same—to create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home, while also giving you, their pawrent, complete peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.

Absolutely amazing dog sitter! They treated my dog like family and kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Reliable, kind, and professional — I would trust them again without hesitation. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who truly loves animals!
I just can’t express how happy and pleased I was with the quality of care that my furbaby received from Elizabeth. She said it best when she described her style of care as your “furbaby”s grandmother “ who gets to love and care for them, spoil them, and then send them home happy and content. If you need a truly gifted, patient, and caring sitter for your furbaby, give Elizabeth the opportunity and you will never regret that decision. Thanks so much for your understanding, patience, and compassion. My PaTot was in the best hands with you.
Holly was absolutely amazing. She took my dogs in last minute for 3 days and nights without hesitation, which meant more to me than she probably knows. From the moment I left them with her, I felt at ease. She sent pictures and videos constantly throughout the day, including updates from every walk. She took them on multiple walks daily and kept them very active. She even cooked food for them and treated them with so much love and care — like they were her own children. That level of attention and accommodation is rare. I’m beyond impressed and genuinely grateful. Holly has such a vibrant, kind personality and it shows in how she cares for animals. My dogs clearly loved her, and that tells me everything. I would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend.
Theresa and her entire family take such good care of Senga! (who is "selectively social") Additionally they have an instinctual ability to know when certain dogs are good to play together and when they may need time alone. I can relax and enjoy my vacation knowing everyone is happy and safe!
