“Dogs loved staying with Christina and we will be returning customers 1000%. She loved on the dogs as if they were her own and they felt right at home. They played and snuggled and had a wonderful time while we were away. Knowing they were in good hands made being on vacation that much easier!”
“Amber did an excellent job taking good care of my sweet dog, Millie. She sent pictures to let me know all is well. This is my first experience with a dog sitter and I feel lucky to have found Amber.”
“Monna is by far one of the greatest sitters we have found. Monna treated our fur baby like her own and was very quick to communicate with! She went above and beyond, made our little one feel right at home and gave her all the love while we were away! I will definitely be booking with her for our future travel plans. Thank you again so so much! We appreciate you!”
“Terrific experience with Kevin and Izzy. For us, the initial experience of leaving Kouver with someone else is stressful, but not in this case. Kevin treated Kouver like he was his own. A great touch when we received an unsolicited video showing Kouver and Izzy out enjoying their walk. Really appreciate not having to ask for updates. Highly recommend.”
“They were very accommodating and my dog had a great time ! He had the greatest time that when I took him home he was almost depressed lol. They treated him like family and sent pictures every so often. I would definitely 10/10 would recommend!”
“Adriana is amazing!!! She took wonderful care of my pups, and I have already booked her again! They were SO comfortable with Adriana and her sweet pup Kayla. Adriana sent photos and adorable videos, and I was certain they were in the very best place while I was away. Adriana made sure they ate well and took them outside often. She also had no problems giving my older pup her daily medicine. She provided the very best care!!! I am so thankful to have found Adriana!!!”
“Carrie is the most remarkable person and dog sitter imaginable. She watched our pups for 7 days, building a bond with each of them during that time. They were loved and adored beyond measure. She ensured they had a great time giving them car rides and special playtime. We got regular updates, photos, videos - and she helped us get the dogs back home when our flight was delayed for hours. We are already scheduled for another trip knowing the dogs are treated like family.”
“We could not have been more satisfied with our care giver They were awesome We received great updates with pictures while we were gone I'm very happy and will most definitely use them in the future and I will also refer them to anyone else who needs excellent care for their fur baby”
“We are very happy to have found a sitter for Parker. Make traveling much less stressful. My daughter dropped him off and said Parker knew exactly where he was going once she turned into the neighborhood. He was excited.”
“VERY happy with the care Menaj provided for our dogs. One had an injury and Menaj didn't hesitate to deliver medicine daily for 10 days. She is a natural with dogs, kind, and generous. We are very lucky she was available to host our dogs. Thank you!”
“Lucy immediately felt comfortable and made herself right at home before I even left, which says a lot about the environment. Lucy is very intuitive, trusts her gut and will let it be known if she is not comfortable or doesn't like someone, and she took to Jackie and her husband right away with no depression. Jackie made sure to follow Lucy's normal routine and kept me updated daily with photos and quick notes advising of the Lucy's activities. She definitely made me feel more at ease with leaving my best friend with her. Highly recommend!”

“This was our fist time having Richard as our pet sitter and we are very pleased! One of our dogs, Emma, is a recent rescue pup and she can be very shy. We were nervous about how she would handle this new experience. Richard was so patient and gentle with her. He eased her into his house and carefully introduced her to the other dogs. He let her explore at her own pace. In the end she and our other dog, Dobby, had a rollicking good time. We really appreciated and enjoyed the pictures Richard sent and could see both dogs were doing well and enjoying themselves. Thanks, Richard, for all your good work with our pups :) Lois and Eric Leader”

“I can’t say enough positive things about the care my dog received from Bob and Sharon. They were kind, responsive, and went above and beyond with communications and updates. We were able to go on a two week vacation care free knowing that our dog was in great hands. We got daily pictures and videos at the same time each day, which was wonderful to have the predictability of them. Our dog came back happy and healthy - in fact, he probably would’ve loved to stay longer! Highly recommend and will rebook again. Thanks again!”

“They where amazing, if your an anxious pet parent like me it can be hard to travel and to find the right sitter. They are really responsive and communicative with everything.

About: I know how to take care of animals that are highly reactive due to my sweet rescue. I was raised around lots of different animals since I was a toddler and often watched on them even as a small child. As I got older and my mother started leaving for weeks for work so I’d watch my dog, cat, and two tree frogs on my own for years. I currently have two dogs and cat I care for that are happy and healthy. I’ve also always participated in neighbor dog walking and frequently volunteer at shelters. I am in school Monday through Thursday but am available early morning and late night those days and can be flexible. Weekend are completely open. I always remain courteous and respectful in other peoples private spaces. A persons home is incredibly private and I would make sure that trust is kept. I will follow your instructions exactly and make sure your pet and you are happy!
“Tracy was a wonderful sitter for our cat Fips. They both bonded immediately, something we did not expect because Fips is a really shy cat. Tracy took very well care of him and sent us photos from Fips during our absence. We could see from the photos that Fips was a happy cat while we were away. We would hire Tracy anytime again.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet.

I don’t just believe pets should just be fed, walked, let out to use the bathroom, I believe they should also get love and comfort when their guardians are away I am on summer break so I have a lot of free time. I love walking my own dog and taking care of my pets when I am home. I walk my dog twice a day, feed both her and my cat in the mornings and afternoons. I make sure their water is full, that their beds are where they’re supposed to be, and that they are comfortable. I always greet them when I come home, or say goodbye to them when i leave
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have always had a deep love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention on schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment while following your care instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, meals, fresh water, and lots of affection, while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog and have experience walking and caring for many different dogs in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and love staying active, whether that’s playing, going on walks, or giving your dog plenty of attention and care. I’m currently available all summer aside from a few planned trips. Other than that, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet whenever needed. I’ll be starting college in the fall, so my availability will change then, but for now I’m free most days and happy to work around your schedule. I care for pets in the client’s home by following their normal routine and instructions closely. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and comfortable in their own space. I also provide attention, keep things clean, and ensure they feel safe while you’re away.

About: I love animals! Growing up I took care of dogs, hamsters, cats, turtles, and bunnies.. Since I nannied not only can I take care of kids, but nearly any animal under the sun! I love to curl up with a good book and give your animal some love! I just graduated so I’m currently working to save money. I am a full time animal and house sitter. I go to the gym in the morning around 3-5 days a week. I am an artist and a book worm, so having an animal to keep me company makes a huge difference! I am completely vegan, so I probably won’t be feeding your pup any table scraps, however I can get down with some animals.. walks, snuggles, deep conversations, and lots of playtime/love! If you want me to do something special for your animal just let me know! We can do story time and tuck them in.. or.. Your animal and I will send you some creative selfies! Truly the world has no limit to what I would do for our fuzzy friends.

Im free almost all hours and can work around your schedule. I will never go into anything thinking I know best, I will take time to work with your dog and learn them the best I can so we can both have a comfortable experience.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who’s always had two dogs at home and a soft spot for all furry friends. I’ve cared for pets while their families—many of whom I’ve also nannied for—were away on vacation. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident and comfortable with all dogs and cats. I also have experience with high-energy pups and administering medication. I’d love to give your pets the same care and attention you would while you're away! I'm currently in flight school so have frequent early mornings but am usually around afternoons/nights. Walks are already part of my daily routine, and I'd love to have some furry company along the way! I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved—whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and keep things tidy. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and cozy environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles. My goal is to keep your pet happy and stress-free while you're away!

“Dogs loved staying with Christina and we will be returning customers 1000%. She loved on the dogs as if they were her own and they felt right at home. They played and snuggled and had a wonderful time while we were away. Knowing they were in good hands made being on vacation that much easier!”
“Terrific experience with Kevin and Izzy. For us, the initial experience of leaving Kouver with someone else is stressful, but not in this case. Kevin treated Kouver like he was his own. A great touch when we received an unsolicited video showing Kouver and Izzy out enjoying their walk. Really appreciate not having to ask for updates. Highly recommend.”
“They were very accommodating and my dog had a great time ! He had the greatest time that when I took him home he was almost depressed lol. They treated him like family and sent pictures every so often. I would definitely 10/10 would recommend!”
“Carrie is the most remarkable person and dog sitter imaginable. She watched our pups for 7 days, building a bond with each of them during that time. They were loved and adored beyond measure. She ensured they had a great time giving them car rides and special playtime. We got regular updates, photos, videos - and she helped us get the dogs back home when our flight was delayed for hours. We are already scheduled for another trip knowing the dogs are treated like family.”
“We could not have been more satisfied with our care giver They were awesome We received great updates with pictures while we were gone I'm very happy and will most definitely use them in the future and I will also refer them to anyone else who needs excellent care for their fur baby”
“We are very happy to have found a sitter for Parker. Make traveling much less stressful. My daughter dropped him off and said Parker knew exactly where he was going once she turned into the neighborhood. He was excited.”

My friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to care for their pets. I understand what it means to leave your pets with others, and I promise to treat your pets like the family they are! I have had dogs, cats, fish, and lizards my whole life. I have helped foster kittens multiple times. There is truly nothing more important to me than building a relationship with your pets!

“We are very pleased with Carolyn and Cody's stay there! Each day we received several, photos, videos, and texts. Carolyn really understands dogs and even bought balls for Cody to play with! Cody loved his stay with Carolyn and we won't hesitate to use her again!!”
“Katherine and Tanner were one of the best families we have ever left our sweet girl with! They were very responsive with updates and pictures throughout the weekend and super flexible with pick up and drop off! Will most definitely book with them again and highly recommend using them😊”
“It was my dog’s first time away from home. He was well taken care of, and had plenty of fun there. Veronica regularly kept me updated regarding his day and his diet, she was extremely patience with my dog and taught him a few new things. Will book again.”
“We had a great experience with Celeste caring for our Canela. Celeste is very flexible and accommodating. An interesting factor was that she doesn’t have a dog of her own, but her daughter loves dogs, so we were happy to see that they developed a cute relationship and our dog had a little companion, even without other dogs there (Celeste does host multiple dogs and for part of her stay, Canela also had a fellow canine friend). We will definitely book with Celeste again!”
“What a great family! Sirius was so well taken care of and Curtis' daughters loved and spoiled my pup! I was sent daily updates and pictures which I loved. When I picked him up he was packed and ready to come home, and as we got in the car one of the girls yelled "I love you Sirius!" Which was so dang cute! I would highly recommend Curtis and his family!”
“We felt very comfortable having Caroline take care of Dolly while we were away, She kept us updated on how things were going and sent some cute pictures along the way. We would recommend her and would use her for future pet sitting.”
“I've had my dog Finn for nearly 2 years. I got him when he was 9, so there is a lot about his early years that I don't know. He's my first dog, so I take great pride in helping him live his best life. Prior to him coming into my life, I would usually take two weeks off in August to attend the Sturgis motorcycle rally. My pet arrangements fell through last year (hadn't engaged any sitters from Rover), thus, I wasn't able to go. So this year I found Brooke through Rover. I had met one other Rover sitter, but Finn just didn't vibe with that person. We met with Brooke and I knew things were going to be alright. She and her family did an awesome job with Finn! She sent pics each day to let me know how he was doing. I was able to relax and have a great vacation. I would definitely board Finn with Brooke again!”
“Lauren made Duke feel welcome during his stay! She was attentive to his needs and professional from beginning to end. We loved getting check ins with daily pictures of Duke enjoying his stay. Thank you Lauren for providing our Frenchie with the best care!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Eric‘s dog sitting service! He cared for our puppy, Izzy for 16 days and truly went above and beyond. From daily walks to giving her medicine and making sure she felt safe and comfortable at home, he treated her as if she were his own. Eric‘s home is spotless, welcoming, and perfectly suited for dogs. Izzy was pampered the whole time, and we loved receiving the constant stream of photos and videos that kept us connected while we were away. This with a surprise was the custom-made poop bag pouch with a cutout of Izzy - such a thoughtful gift! We felt completely at ease knowing Izzy was in his care and will absolutely turn to Eric again whenever we need help. Highly recommended!”
“I cannot imagine anyone being more patient or caring with our sweet, very senior dog. Mindy and her family went above and beyond, making sure our Rosalie got outside and ate and was taken care of. We can't thank her enough for everything she did!”
