“Amanda has been absolutely amazing with our dog, Blue. She went above and beyond to keep us updated, even taking him to the vet when he developed an ear infection. She gave him his medication and kept us informed every step of the way. It was clear he was in great hands, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave him. We’ll definitely be trusting Amanda again in the future!”


“Renata cared for our 8 mo Maine Coon for a week in her home and we were so pleased with her attentiveness to him and the twice daily picture updates. Tiger had lots of play time and he really enjoyed his favorite spot by her window to sun himself. We recommend Renata highly!”


“Jean was awesome as a dogsitter. He took good care of my Golden. He sent pictures and videos, and walked her daily. Most of all he was friendly and wide open to any request that I had on how to take care of her. I will definitely be bringing my dog back in the future. I feel like we finally have a go-to for a sitter.”


“Lisa and J. provided my dogs a home away from home. My two pups were fed and exercised regularly and treated like family. There was an ample back yard, safely fenced. They were very precise with following my instructions, responsive to questions and accomodating to change. My dogs were happy and I was comfortable that they were in good hands. We will definitely be boarding our pups with Lisa and J. again.”


“Our dog Jessie had a great vacation while staying with Mandana. She was able to run in the fenced yard, bask in the sun on the deck and seems to have been quite happy. Mandana was accommodating and easy to coordinate with, and she also sent photos of Jessie during her stay.”



“Derek and Cheryl took great care of our aging beagle, Michelle, while we were out of town. It was short notice but they were flexible with their time friendly throughout the process of booking her stay. They provided daily photos and updates on how she was doing and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Michelle was more than happy with Derek and Cheryl’s care and so were we! Would highly recommend!”


“Deborah was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout her time with her. Very easy to communicate with and was just wonderful overall. Definitely will be re-booking!”


About: I have been in veterinary medicine for 12 years and have been pet sitting for 20 years. I have cared for pets of all ages and energy levels. I am able to administer medication or monitor medical issues if needed. I work 75% from home, and I am away for a maximum of 4 hours. I can create my own schedule, so I adjust it as needed based on my pet's requirements. When caring for pets, I will assess their anxiety levels and schedule the day's activities accordingly. Each pet is treated as if they were my own. I will follow any care instructions provided. Exercise is essential for a pet's health, so I take them on a minimum of one hour of walking each day, in addition to regular potty breaks. If more exercise is needed, I am happy to accommodate that as well!

“Lydia did an outstanding job taking care of my little chihuahua, Penny. Penny has never been boarded before, and Lydia took excellent care of her. Lydia was very caring and sent me photos and videos every day. It was comforting to know that my Penny was in loving hands. Lydia, thank you so much.”


“Our dog Spikey recently stayed with Leanna. This was his first stay. Leanna took good care of him. She sent us lot of pictures and gave us updates of how he was doing. Its so easy to interact with Leanna .She is so friendly and approachable. We definitely recommend her.”


About: I've lived with animals my entire life and currently have one rescued fur baby! I take care of all of my friends and families pets simply for the joy of it. I'm extremely responsible and make sure I treat others fur babies as I treat mine. I'm very active and live across a dog park, I wouldn't mind taking your dogs to the park for play time. I'm the sitter you've been seeking for! Big dogs do not scare me, I grew up with Dalmatians, Pit Bulls, and Golden Retrievers! I work a hybrid position and my office is only a 7 mins drive from work so I typically come home for lunch when I have to go to the office. I’m able to walk and spend time with your pet throughout the day. I make sure I learn the pets behavior around other pets before making the decision of spending most of our time at the dog park. I like to go on long walks and enjoy playing fetch or tug!

“Elena was great with my Bernese Mountain dog. He got lots of walks and attention, and Elena sent many photos and videos. Will be booking with Elena again as soon as I finish this review!”


“Xinyi was a phenomenal host to Auto. Seeing him settle in under her care was heartwarming. She took him for walks, sent us daily pictures and updates. We could tell Auto enjoyed his stay. Thanks for having him at your home!”


“Mohammed and his family were great caregivers for my dog over the Thanksgiving weekend. He gots lots of love and attention. Plus they were so flexible with communication and the pickup/drop-off times. I would recommend them to everyone.”

Amethyst V.
“It's easy to say that Amethyst saved my life. I recently had to go out of town for a week on an impromptu business trip in January and honestly did not know what on earth I would do with my baby Blake (black poodle mix and love of my life). The hotel I had to stay in was not pet-friendly and I was desperate to find someone whom I could trust. None of my closest friends were available to watch Blake for such a long period of time so I reluctantly searched www.care.com for someone I felt would be compatible with little Blakey. I sifted through a couple profiles but when I saw Amethyst's profile I knew she would be a great fit. Amethyst and I exchanged correspondence and I sent her a picture of my baby, which she actually happily requested. I could tell that this girl loved animals!! After a few emails I decided to choose her as my dog-sitter and hoped for the best. Amy met me at my house and she instantly connected with Blake, making me feel so comfortable about having her watch him. I gave her instructions for feeding and walking and went on my business trip feeling at ease. When I returned, Blake was as happy and healthy as he was when I left. Amethyst updated me on their adventures and then left, ensuring that she could be there for me whenever I needed a sitter for Blakey. Needless to say, Blake and I had a wonderful experience with Amethyst and I will definitely be requesting her services in the near future! Thanks again Amethyst!!”

Sterling pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mel was fantastic with our senior diabetic kitty. She provided daily updates, gave him insulin daily, and showed him lots of love. I can't recommend Mel enough for her patience and kindness with our cat. She did such a wonderful job that when we brought him home, there was no adjustment period, as often seen after boarding, he jumped right back into his normal routine and demeanor. Thanks, Mel!

I highly recommend Nicole. She is a very caring and thoughtful person who took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. She sent us a message everyday with a photo of our dog. She went out of her way to make sure our dog was comfortable and it was obvious by how happy our dog was with Nicole. We were so thankful Nicole was available to host our Penny.
