Nan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.

My Loki stayed with her for 22 days. She is an amazing person and definitely will book again. Thank you Kayla for taking good care of my Loki he already misses your 2 lovely dogs.

About: I provide attentive, personalized care so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient and quick to understand each pet’s routine and personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or senior. I can help reinforce basic training, follow detailed care instructions, and give extra gentle care when needed. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give I treat every pet like my own and keep you updated for peace of mind. For now, I’m primarily available on Saturdays and Sundays. I may have flexibility on other days once I get to know your pet better or can adjust my schedule accordingly. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. In my home, I have two friendly dogs and a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time and play. I always supervise interactions and make sure each pet feels comfortable and respected.

From the moment we met Kajal, her family, and her sweet dog Nala, we knew Toby was going to be in the best hands. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive throughout the entire stay — sending regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. What truly sets Kajal apart is how naturally she treats every dog like family. Toby has had sitters before, but we have never seen him this relaxed, happy, and at ease with anyone outside of home. He fit right in with Kajal's family and Nala, and honestly? He almost seemed a little sad to come back — which, as a pet parent, is the highest compliment you can give a sitter. It is incredibly rare to find someone who matches the love and care you pour into your own dog, and Kajal does exactly that. Toby is more than a pet to us he's family — and she treated him no differently. I would recommend Kajal without a single hesitation, not just for Toby, but for any dog lucky enough to stay with her. If you're looking for a sitter who will love your pup like their own, look no further!

Mohita was fabulous right from the meet and greet. She made sure My dog was totally comfortable at her place and that included the lovely dog coco. It was so great to see pictures and videos of my dog having fun on his own little vacation at her place. She took great care and was very supportive throughout my dogs stay. So glad to have found Mohita. 💕

About: I have always owned at least one dog for the last 20 years. I currently have 5, 3 of whom were either rescued out of bad living situations or fostered and then eventually adopted. I have also boarded dogs for friends and family while they have had to go on vacation or handle other affairs. As an extra on walks I also teach dogs and puppies basic obedience training and work with de-escalating dominant and or reactive dogs I’m currently working part time while trying to build my dog walking business and brand so I have a flexible scale that I can work around and rearrange if needed. I have a fenced in yard with lots of dog friendly toys and activities for them to engage in. Inside I have multiple cages of varying sizes to handle small 10 lb dogs up to a big 100 lb dog

Mary was excellent with my dog for an overnight stay, she gave constant feed back and photos. I was most impressed was that she took the trouble to come to my house 2 days prior to know the dogs personality and get familiarised. I would definitely try Mary again and highly recommend her.

Kavya watched our pup Loki for 3 days while we attended a family wedding. Loki is always with us so he is not the best at staying with new people, but when we picked him up and from the pictures and videos she sent, Loki was very happy, which meant we were very happy. Highly, highly recommended Kavya to anyone looking for a responsive and caring sitter for their fuzzy kids.

William provided exceptional care for our dog during her weeklong stay. He monitored her eating closely, adjusted her meals when needed, and kept us updated with detailed messages. He shared photos of her having fun and socializing with other dogs, and she integrated beautifully into his home. He also shared little stories, like how she became obsessed with one of Whiskey’s squeaky toys and carried it in and out of the house. It was clear she felt safe, happy, and completely at home. One thing that really stood out was how much William genuinely loves our dog. It wasn’t just care — he connected with her, paid attention to her personality, and treated her like she was part of his family. That kind of care is rare and meant the world to us. His flexibility with pickup after our overnight flight was greatly appreciated. We felt completely confident leaving her in his care and will absolutely rebook with him!

Sobia was the first person I had left my dog with in years. She is awesome. She sent me pictures and a recap everyday of what she did with my boy. She cared for him just like he was her own. I felt so comfortable being away and knowing that someone as kind and caring as Sobia was taking care of my dog. I am going to recommend her to everyone and to anyone who uses the rover app. Thank you Sobia for taking care of my baby!
