“Rachel did a great job taking care of Remy and spoiling him while we were away. Our pup is very timid and he did great with her. She also hauled in quite a few packages that arrived earlier than expected before they could get soaked with snow!”
“instantly felt comfortable with hannah! positive energy and clearly loves animals. a great communicator, great photos, would book again. thank you, hannah! m+o”
“Ali did a wonderful job with Jackson. She checked in and sent pictures so I knew he was doing well. This was the first time I’ve tried leaving him home instead of boarding him. Won’t do it any other way from now on.”
“Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.”
“My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.”
“Nejra was great at communicating with us and very patient with our cat with social anxiety, and even spent 45 minutes with her the Saturday before our trip and was also patient with my 4-year-old human child who chose that time to be a chaotic preschooler. She took lots of photos during our trip and provided a detailed Rover card after each drop-in. Our extroverted kitty absolutely adored her.”
“We’re so thankful to have Morgan check in on our doggies yet again! She does an amazing job of caring for them and taking the cutest pictures to send to us while we’re away! Looking forward to our next vacation because we know our doggies are in great hands!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We asked Lisa to see about helping us out when we were going out of town because she has many repeat customers and great reviews. She agreed to watch our cats and came to our house prior to meet the cats and get any special directions. Lisa asked questions and even got to pet a few of our cats. During out vacation she stopped by and kept us updated on how things were going including pictures! Thanks Lisa! We look forward to seeing you next vacation!”
“Iliana is an attentive pet walker and sitter that will take wonderful care of your pet. She'll remember all of your instructions perfectly and demonstrates impeccable flexibility to adapt to circumstances on the fly.”
“Katherine did great with our 3 YO Lab and our rescued 8MO newly rescued pup! She did an extra "meet & greet" since we adopted the pup after we had booked the drop-ins for one dog. She was on time, sent multiple photos to assure us the two were doing great, and left an extra note to let us know of a small problem the pup had while we were away. Great 1st assignment!”
“Monica was extremely easy to work with, she communicated well, sent us a lot of pictures, and we felt very comfortable! Loki seemed to be a happy camper with her.”
“Krystal is absolutely amazing! Our dog Nova is scared of all strangers. Krystal was so patient and kind to Nova and was able to gain her trust. I highly recommend Krystal to anyone needing someone to care for their dog!!”
About: I have well over 24 years caring for dogs. I believe a house isn't a home without a dog. We (me and my family) lost our dog, Teddy, about 11/2 years ago. It has been very hard living without him. I still look for him at the door whenever I come home. We are still heartbroken from his passing. Someday we hope to find the courage to love again. Until then we want to love on all the doggies that come to stay and play with us. When your dog is here he/she is part of our family. Please be willing to come by with your pup for a meet & greet before any reservations are made. Our main concern is that you are completely comfortable leaving your fur-baby with us. Here is a coupon for $20 off. Your Promo Code: TIFFAK87923 Your promo code is only for new Rover members you recruit through your profile link. Rules and restrictions apply—read our Terms of Service to learn more. I work for H&R Block during tax season, January thru April. I am home all day the rest of the year to care for your doggie. I care for your dog as if he/she were my own. We will go on walks to Greenbelt Park, Grays Lake, and all throughout our neighborhood. We can play fetch in our yard. Also, belly rubs are a must :)

Sincerely amazing, took pictures of everything that I wouldve asked for without me even having to ask. Super sweet and considerate detailed notes with every visit. Cleaned up any messes which was so sweet. One of the few people on here that really knows how to care for cats and does so excellently. My cats loved her especially my scaredy cat who is afraid of everyone. I sincerely do not believe I’d book with anyone else after this amazing expirence.
We were truly lucky to have Dawn as our cat sitter for nine days while we were traveling outside of the US. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Boogie and Ollie and treated them as if they were her own. She followed all of our detailed instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I know it can be challenging to care for pets in someone else's home, especially when there are many little routines and preferences to remember, but Dawn did a fantastic job. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. We sincerely appreciate her help, professionalism, and the kindness she showed to our cats. We would gladly trust her with Boogie and Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Ashly was so kind & caring towards our elderly kitties while we were away. She stopped in twice a day to visit and give medications - they were definitely spoiled by the special attention! She let me know when one wasn’t acting normally and checked in an extra visit just to make sure all was well. Can’t wait to have her care for them again. 💕
Arielle was great! I felt so reassured that my cat was being well taken care of in my absence. She sent me daily update pics of my cat too. Found everything to be in order when I came back and she also helped fix my litter robot when it went offline unexpectedly!
Allyson did an excellent job looking after my cat, Apollo! She visited on short notice to meet him beforehand and ask questions. She visited often and was very communicative, providing updates and photos throughout the duration. Even through the snowstorm she did her best to get here and make sure he was well taken care of! I would definitely recommend her!
