“Once again Reggie came home a very happy doggie! Nicole is always very responsive to my texts and I love the pictures that she sends me of him throughout his stay! I have no worries that Reggie is in great hands while I'm away!”
“Matt watched Luna for 10 nights while my family and I traveled for the holidays. Luna was well taken care of and came home happy and healthy. We would definitely consider using Matt again for overnight pet sitting.”
“Joshua was on the ball from inquiry to pick up. Excellent communication and care of our 13yo golden doodle. Their dog is a sweetie and Rosie loved the company. We're already rebooking! Thanks for taking such great care and giving Rosie the best possible experience away from us!”
“Kristin is amazing! She made Nori feel right at home. She sent pictures and updates every day and Nori looked so happy. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Cece and her family were amazing with my puppy! They were so caring and kept me updated often with how she was doing. Cece definitely goes the extra mile for everyone's fur babies and I will 100% be booking with her again!”
“LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Hermun was AMAZING! Our house was being tented and we had a place to "board" our fur babies....They had never been boarded. We didn't know what way turn. We went and toured a Doggie Day Care place....There were so many dogs barking it gave me anxiety much less the dogs! I came across Rover.com and reached out to a few Doggie Lovers. Our first in-house interview was not great, BUT then we had a second interview with Hermun, and we were so excited that we had found the perfect place to leave our babies. She was kind, clean, loving, communicative, and super accommodating. We received pictures, and daily updates, and the boys were SUPER happy when we picked them up. We felt as though they were receiving the same love and care with Hermun as we would have supplied in our own home. Would ABSOLUTELY use Hermun again!”
“Maxine went above and beyond for Maddy! I got the CUTEST photos of Maddy throughout the stay and I could tell she got so much love and attention all week long 💕🐾💕 Happy dog + happy dog mom!”
“Evgenia and her daughter were so amazing!! We felt so safe leaving our dog Millie with them and received many pictures of Millie getting snuggles and walks! We absolutely would book again.”
About: I began dog walking for my neighbors at 8 years old and helped take care of my family’s french bulldog throughout elementary, middle, and high school. Given her high care needs, I have experience in caring for senior dogs and am able to give them medication. I have pets-sat for families with dogs, cats, and bunnies. Growing up I also had a hamster and guinea pigs of my own! I love doing the “Doggy Day Out” at my local shelter where I get to care for a shelter dog for the day and would love to give your furry friend that same experience. I’m currently working a part-time job and am a full time college student. During the school year, I have classes Mon-Thurs in the morning and for the summer I am completely available to care for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and would love to care for your pup! I will take them for a walk and play with them, treating them as if they are my own dogs.
“I've had my dogs stay twice now and Qian and Meiru always take good care of my two dogs. The dogs come back calm and seem like they have a good time staying with the family and their dog. You will get a daily update or more on how your dogs are doing and lots of pictures. I'm glad I found Qian and Meiru to watch my two girls.”
“Kiran was wonderful. She is very communicative and makes sure that she has all of the needs for your little loved one. Plenty of pictures. Toby was very happy. Will use again. Thanks”
“Rachel was everything you would hope for in a dog sitter!! She sent us a daily photo of our Murphy girl, was super responsive when we had questions and very flexible with pick up and drop off times! Murphy had so much fun staying at her house and we will definitely be reaching out to have Murphy stay again! We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our girl, we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing Murphy was safe and happy.”
“Shayna was extremely communicative, understanding, and helpful with Bluey. We got updates, pictures, and knew right away he was in good hands. We will definitely be reaching out in the future! He seems very happy and had a great time.”
“I was very lucky to find Sofia to watch my puppy Ruby. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Ruby was being taken care of quite well and that they had a lot of fun together. Normally when Ruby is with someone else in a strange environment, she doesn't eat normally, but judging by what was left over, she pretty much ate normally. I will definately ask Sofia to watch Ruby the next time I go on vacation and need a dog sitter.”
“Virginia was amazing with my dog, Nellie! She sent lots of updates and I could tell Nellie was having so much fun and was well taken care of. Nellie got along with her dog so well. I couldn't recommend her more!”
“We were very happy with Margarita and Clarissa. They treated our dog with love and care. They sent pictures and gave updates almost every day. Their home is large and comfortable.”
“We had a wonderful experience! They’re incredibly kind, caring, and flexible — which made the whole process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely at ease leaving Jax, in their care. He was so happy to be with them, and we could tell he felt right at home! We also really appreciated the updates and knowing he was getting lots of love and attention. It means so much to have neighbors we can trust with our dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

Taylor was fantastic! She was able to take my golden retriever on short notice, and throughout his stay she sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear he was having a great time and was being well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Thanks to Hermun for taking great care of my beagle, Buddy. She communicated well and sent many updates and photos. It was my first time using Rover but Hermun made it easy to feel comfortable leaving. And Buddy loved having another beagle to play with. Would book with her again.
I have an overly affectionate Bernedoodle that could easily be too much for some people but Emily was so good with her. She gave me regular updates and even some solid feedback about how we might make overnights go even smoother. Our dogs are like our children so it’s important to find someone that you trust. I highly suggest you consider Emily for your dogs care
