“Sheridan took excellent care of Dexter, she took the time to meet and greet us before hand. She was in consistent communication and sent pictures. I feel very comfortable with leaving my dog with her.”
“We had a great experience with our dog boarding at Sampada's house! The house was super clean and they were super friendly and easy to communicate with, and most importantly, our dog came home happy and well cared for after almost three weeks of boarding. We would definitely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“We could not be happier with the care our Goldendoodle received! Our pup is a bundle of endless energy, and Nitin handled that high-spirited enthusiasm with incredible patience, kindness, and attentiveness. Nitin's communication throughout the stay was prompt and reliable, keeping us completely at ease with regular updates and photos. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog sitter and will definitely be booking again!”
“I met Wyatt at the meet and greet, and he was super friendly. His dog, Alien, was also very nice to my puppy. Wyatt took care of my puppy for two nights and three days and sent me regular updates on how my puppy was doing throughout his stay at Wyatt’s house. I trust Wyatt, and my puppy and I will definitely be visiting him again soon!”
About: Leaving your dog with someone else can feel like a big deal! I’ll make sure they’re safe, loved, and in good hands. I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with having a pet. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I want them to have the best time while they’re in my care! Whether your pup wants a good walk, some playtime, or simply a lot of love and attention, I’ll meet them where they are. I have a pup of my own: a blue heeler/pomsky mix, so I’m no stranger to energetic personalities and their little quirks! If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog plenty of care, attention, and love, I’d love to meet you both! I’ll also be sure to send many updates throughout their care. I’m primarily available on weekends (Friday evening to Sunday), with some weekday evening availability depending on the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Whether you need someone for a walk, a drop-in visit, or weekend dog sitting, I’d be happy to help! I live in a townhouse with a small, unfenced yard, as well as a large grassy area and plenty of walking paths nearby for walks, sniffs, and exploring. I also have my dog, Peter, so our dogs will be sharing a home together! While I’m sitting, I’ll be home with the dogs most of the time, if not all, aside from the occasional short errand when needed. I’ll always follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When caring for your pup in their home, I would love to take them for walks, stay in for some playtime and cuddles, or simply follow whatever routine and activities they enjoy the most!
About: I have taken care of my friends’ dogs and found I really enjoy having dogs in my house! Your baby will be taken care here and hope we can help each other out! I work fully from home and so does my husband. We all love dogs and Pumpernickel, our tri-color corgi baby is super friendly to dogs and anyone she sees. I will walk dog every day in the morning and my husband will walk them in the evening. My schedule is super flexible, if your baby need anything while here let me know! I normally help my friends to take care of their dogs so I know what to expect. I will walk them the same time with my dog. We are in a townhouse with fenced yard, is it rains or anything not good to go out their can just do their business in the back or play there!
“Smitha was wonderful with Kylo, she gave him the personal care he needed and was in touch with us throughout the stay. Provided daily videos and pictures. Kylo was a happy pup upon his return.”
“I absolutely love boarding my dogs with Maria. She’s my weekend getaway boarder and my pups love visiting her and her handsome son. I would highly recommend Maria!”
About: I used to petsit on a regular basis, but took a few years off. But now I’m back and on Rover! **** I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how much our pets mean to us! I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including seniors who may need a little extra patience and attention. Since I work from home, I can offer plenty of companionship, walks, playtime, and personal attention throughout the day. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own! They’ll be spoiled! I’ll tell them “big stretch!” when they stretch. I’ll talk to them even if they can’t hear me. I’ll hand feed them if I need to. And they can take 2/3 of the bed while I take the edge. Whatever it takes to make them happy. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day. I have a dog of my own, so caring for pets is already part of my daily routine. I’m also available for weekend and evening care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly Chihuahua named Willow and understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving environment. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, respect any special instructions, and make sure they get plenty of attention and snuggles. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know they’re doing well!
“This was the first time leaving our puppy with anybody. He is seven year old husky mix who has the all of the husky quirks but who is a very sweet dog. While with Jaime & Mike I saw that the whole family really looked after Max. During our time away they updated us with texts and pictures, and when we arrived to pick him up he was happily walking outside with Mike. He had a bed set up close to everyone so he wouldn’t feel alone. I would definitely leave him there again, you can tell they really like dogs and that makes a difference”
“First time using Rover and also leaving our puppy Enzo. Lorena made the process so comforting and easy. She sent picture/video updates every day and kept us informed of what he did daily. She also was super patient as Enzo is only 4 months old and although he has potty training down at home not so much at her place. He also was not used to being around other dogs but Lorena had another dog with her that she slowly got Enzo used to being around during his stay. I would definitely reach out to Lorena again for boarding! Thanks Lorena for keeping our little guy safe and happy! :)”
“Our boy LOVES staying with Katie! She is always responsive, kind, and accommodating. She even let us drop our dog off at 4:00am when we had a last minute flight cancellation, and made him chicken and rice when he had an upset stomach. Cody is always so happy to see Katie and her two kitties! We’re very lucky to have her close by.”
“Angela is an excellent pet sitter! From the very start, she was incredibly easy to communicate with, highly flexible with scheduling, and deeply attentive to our puppy's needs. Leaving a young pup can be stressful, but Angela put our minds at ease by sending regular, reassuring updates and sweet photos throughout the stay. Angela is attentive to detail - she administered our puppy's eye drops perfectly and very efficiently. Our puppy came home happy and in great shape. Thank you so much, Angela!”
“Suzi was an absolute life saver! She took the best care of our two large dogs and kept us posted throughout the weekend with updates and photos. She was so caring with our dogs, we will absolutely be using her again! Thank you Suzi!!!”
“Would definitely hire Marcel again. It was the first time leaving my 4 month old puppy but I was comfortable knowing he’d be in safe hands. Marcel took my pup for a nice long walk and made sure he was cuddled and loved.”
“Leaving our Max with Katrina was such a wonderful experience. She is kind, attentive and patient. She made sure he felt at home and kept us updated as well. We had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such a loving environment. Thank you Katrina!”

Heather and her family were wonderful and definitely dog lovers! They took excellent care of our dog! Heather is kind, flexible with scheduling, responds to messages/inquires in a timely fashion and sent picture updates throughout the stay (which was so nice to see our little guy being well cared for while we were away)! I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her services!
We had the best experience with Nupur (Monami) and the family. They took care of our 10-years old male boxer Max and 6-years old female Boston Terrier Zola for 10 days in their house. We did meet and greet prior to make sure our dogs get along with their dog and the family asked many questions about our pup’s health and habits. From the very first moment we knew they would be well taken care of. What we did not know was how spoiled and nurtured they would be. Our dog sitter family treated our puppies like their own. Our boxer Max had had separation anxiety during previous boardings but he did not suffer the same anxiety as he felt right at home with the family. They played in the house and in the garden. We got daily updates with pictures and all our inquiries were promptly answered. Our puppies were in best care and we will definitely use their service again and highly recommend Monami to others seeking doggie care.
Lydia is great! We booked a last-minute trip out of town and instead of boarding our dog we did a meet and greet with Lydia and knew immediately that she would be great. Our dog loved her and the other dogs she had during the same time. Lots of pictures and videos. We’ll use Lydia even for staycations and days we want Lola to go visit Lydia and her little friends!
We could not be happier with the care our Goldendoodle received! Our pup is a bundle of endless energy, and Nitin handled that high-spirited enthusiasm with incredible patience, kindness, and attentiveness. Nitin's communication throughout the stay was prompt and reliable, keeping us completely at ease with regular updates and photos. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog sitter and will definitely be booking again!
I had an amazing experience with Jinah this past weekend! She took such great care of my dog, and I could tell from the moment I picked her up that she was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. Her home was very clean, safe, and welcoming, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept my dog engaged with puzzles, toys, and fun activities instead of just letting her sit around all day. It was obvious she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and stimulated. I truly appreciated the love, attention, and excellent care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
This was our first time leaving Ace with Nisha & family, they made it a great experience. They followed our feeding and medication routines. I've received texts and daily photo updates. Ace seems warmed up and got along with their dog Tyrion and toddler son soon after he was left. It is so nice to be able to leave Ace with them and know that he is loved and taken care of when we are not home.
This was the best boarding experience ever for our 2 doxies! Nina took great care to ensure the instructions we provided were followed to the letter. She actively played with them; she also shared numerous photos & videos at regularly scheduled intervals every day. Nina’s 2 dogs are adorable too. We can’t say enough good things about this experience!
Our dog (Viko) felt at home with Katie. Viko stayed during the 4th of July weekend, and is scared of fireworks. Katie took great care of Viko during that time. Katie kept us updated daily with Viko's activities. We'll definitely use Katie's services in the future. ❤️🐶
Darlin was amazing with my 3.5 month old puppy. He needed to do a last minute vet visit before he was dropped off and she was incredibly flexible with our schedule, which helped reduce my stress before going out of town for a few days. While he was there it sounded like he had the best time and got a ton of love despite being deep into his land shark/piranha phase. It was such a relief to know that my pup was not only safe, taken care of, but was also having a truly great time. I highly recommend and will be looking to her next time I need someone to watch my pup!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
