“Brooke is a wonderful sitter for our Mr Cookie. He is so comfortable and looks happy in the daily photos we receive. We don’t want anyone but Brooke!”
“This was our third time using Rover, and once again, it was a great experience! We left Zeus with Nathaniel, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave him. He is very kind and friendly, and he made both of us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Nathaniel is reliable, responsible, and honest—everything you could hope for when leaving your pet with someone. He treated our furry friend like his own, which we truly appreciated. A big plus is that he’s located very close to the airport, which made drop-off and pick-up super easy and convenient on our way home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would definitely leave our big dog with him again!”
“OMG Leonard is the Best , he is my forever sitter for now on, He was good with my big boy ( cesar) and my little boy ( Taz ) they came home happy and tired from him taking care of them and walking and playing with them for 10 days …. please book him you will not regret it at all❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Carly and her family were absolutely amazing while watching my very vocal senior dog, Gracie, for 21 days. From the moment we dropped her off, I could tell she was in wonderful hands. They sent daily photos and updates, just the right amount of communication so I always felt informed without ever feeling overwhelmed. They handled her medication and any special needs with such care and attention. It was such a relief knowing Gracie was so well looked after and loved while we were away. I can’t recommend Carly and her family enough, truly exceptional care!”
“Savannah is amazing! I am so happy I found her, she really did take wonderful care of my dog. Lots of photos, walks and love for my pup🐶 she will definitely be my go to when I need someone for my dog.”
“Tetiana took really great care of my Sir. She sent great photos daily and kept assuring me, he was doing great since this was my 1st time being away from him. If i could give her more than 10 stars, I would.”
“Sarahi and Leandro did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs for a week while we were on vacation! Their home is very clean and smells very clean. They have a large fenced in backyard for the dogs to run around and play! They sent us photos and videos every day! All the dogs looked very comfortable and they got walks a couple times a day! We would highly recommend Sarahi and Leandro if you need care for your dogs. They are also very good with keeping the dogs safe and secure. We would love to have them watch our dogs again if we go out of town. Thank you for the loving care of our dogs! Jackie & Joe”
“Michelle was great! She watched my dog last minute, she kept me updated on her and how she was doing, even gave her a bath (with permission). We will be using her again for future sitting. Thanks so much!”
“Cannot be happier with Martha’s care and communication. She’s watched Filbert a couple times and each time the communication and updates have been impeccable. The latest stay was a little over two weeks and we were worry free knowing she was taking care of him as if he were her family.”
“Odie seems to enjoy going to Linda‘s house every time. He especially liked the special treats and his new green ball. We will definitely continue to send Odie to this sitter.”
“Kristie is one of a kind. She will love and protect your pet like it's her own. She sends pics and updates daily to alleviate any concerns or just to relieve the stress of being away from our little fur balls! Thanks Kristie!”
“Ivanka was great with Leo and Penelope! Ivanka responded quickly with our request for dog sitting in her home and she kept in contact with us regarding our babies stay. Both Leo and Penelope look happy to be home and they also look satisfied after their stay with Ivanka and her two puppies. If you are looking for a dog sitter, look no further than Ivanka! She cared for Leo and Penelope as they were her own puppies. She is dependable and super sweet with our puppies. Thank you for caring for my two little ones! Ivanka is a 5/5 star doggie sitter!”
“My loved dogs always come happy after spending time at Eric’s place. Even this time was different I want to express special appreciation to Eric, Titti (one of my pets) needed special attention and he acted as required and made sure she had the right and professional attention to keep her safe. Thank you for being part and taking care of my loving dogs.”
“Kristin was amazing with my little fur baby! She took care of her like she was her own, and it was such a wonderful experience. She has the perfect setup for dogs, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in great hands. Kristin kept me updated, gave her lots of love and attention, and made sure she was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“They were so great, accommodating and communicative. My dog had a great time and I received frequent updates and pictures. If you want your pet to have a home away from home, this is the place.”
“My dog had a great time with Melanie & Troy! They watched him for 2 weeks and sent lots of photos. I could tell he was well-loved by their family. We will be booking again in the future!”
“I was very impressed with the update pictures that we received multiple times a day. We could tell our babies were having fun and felt comfortable. They had many playmates with the other dogs that were there as well. I would book again in a heartbeat if need be.”
About: I have grown up with all types of animals from dogs and cats, to birds and horses. I have a cat, two guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and a dog myself. I also have experience working over two years in an animal shelter taking care of both dogs and cats. I adopted my current dog at 5 months and we have spent the last year training, so I am comfortable using various commands to communicate with your dogs. I am currently a post grad taking a semester off so I am available full time to take care of your animals. I can drop in, do dog walks, and doggy day care or overnights. I have a large fenced in yard but live with multiple cats and a dog (who is very friendly but hyper). If that environment would not work for your animal I could do day care or drop ins at your residence, although i can only do overnights at my house.

I cannot recommend this pet sitter highly enough! I needed someone on very short notice to watch my 16 year old little Bella and he stepped in without hesitation. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. He took exceptional care of my sweet little Bella, making sure she was comfortable, happy, and well-loved while I was away. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was clear that Bella was being treated like part of the family. When I picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and obviously well cared for. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy to care for your pet, I wholeheartedly recommend him. I am incredibly grateful for his help and will definitely use his services again in the future! Thank you again, Douglas!
Rebekah and her family were so great, and accommodating to our needs. She really saved us in a pinch! She sent daily photos, and was very commutative about everything from food, to toys and treats that she was giving my pup. I was so thankful Rebekah was able to help us out and care for my hogan !
Karyna and Emre took excellent care of Spooky. We were nervous about leaving Spooky with someone new so we reached out to Karyna and Emre for a meet and great and after talking to them and seeing them interact with our dog we felt comfortable. They asked us a ton of questions to understand our dog and his needs. He stayed with them from Thursday to Sunday and they sent me plenty of pictures and updates daily. They walked, snuggled, set up his enrichment toys and gave him plenty of treats. It was apparent he was very comfortable there with them.
Michelle is phenomenal with my two dogs. I would trust her to take care of them in any circumstance. You will not be disappointed if you choose her to watch your dogs. Not only does she make sure that they are tended to she; goes above and beyond while welcoming them into her home.
We had a wonderful first experience with the Rover App. Leda was so friendly and you could tell she had tons of experience with dog sitting. We felt so comfortable leaving Ollie in her capable hands for the weekend. She was so accommodating with pickup and drop off times and was great about sending updates on our sweet boy all weekend long. We will definitely be using her again in the future and recommend her to anyone needing a great dog sitter!
Queenita was excellent with taking care of my dog. She was super attentive of everything. From the meet & greet, drop off, and pick up she made sure she was crystal clear on all my instructions and everything came back super clean, including my dog! She kept me updated on all details from my dog’s potty schedule to how much he ate of each of his meals and sent me so many pictures which means a lot to me. I could tell she really cared for my dog and went the extra mile to cater towards his needs since he is a senior. He was very comfortable while staying with her and I liked that he had Ellie to hang out with as well! I highly recommend Queenita if you are looking for a great pet sitter!
