“We loved having Miika stay with Sergio and Bethany. They were very kind, communicative and took great care of our dog while we were gone. Will definitely return!”
“Cindy is a great sitter and really understands our fuball’s routines. Gus has IVDD, needs eye drops 3x per day and lots of love and attention - Cindy helps in all these areas!”
“Christian and Hana were very communicative throughout the whole process. Had a flight delay and they were able to accommodate and extend the stay for another night. Took great care of Moe and allowed me to travel worry free, would highly recommend.”
“Alex is a pro! From the start, it was good energy...she responded quickly to my inquiry and communication was very clear and reassuring. Several acquaintances suggested Rover but I was a bit apprehensive of leaving my pup with a complete stranger. Unfortunately, the one-off 'bad' experiences make the headlines and not enough of the good stories are circulated. I did my share of research and vetting on Rover.com and I have to pat myself on the back because I couldn't have made a better choice. Alex was warm and was great at making me feel comfortable about leaving Quesadilla with her. She sent me a plethora of daily photos & updates. She treated her as part of the family and one of her own. I am just thrilled to have met Alex and look forward to the next time that Quesadilla can reunite with her 'cousins'!”
“This is the second time we boarded our dogs with Clara. She was great as usual and went above and beyond to make sure they were doing well. ! Thanks again Clara!”
“Eric was truly amazing, believe every single outstanding review. It is very clear that he and his husband are so caring and loving towards the animals they keep. My two pups seemed comfortable and content the entire 5 days we were gone like they were with family. My husband and I went on a cruise and didn't have the best service but that didn't stop Eric from updating us everyday with pictures, videos, and a rundown of the day. And of course we cannot forget the cutest portraits of my pups that he took. Those are definitely our new favorite pictures! Anyone would be lucky to book with this household!”
“This was Nova’s second stay with Angela & the family and I’m so grateful to have found them! She was showered with lots of love from the moment we arrived, and I loved seeing pictures throughout my trip. She always looked very content and well taken care of, it’s so much easier to be away knowing she’s in good hands! I will definitely reach out of town the next time I’m away :)”
“We had such a great experience with Alani! From the start, she made us feel really comfortable by inviting us into her home to see exactly where our dog would be staying and to meet her family. That meant a lot to us. It felt very welcoming and gave me peace of mind knowing the environment he’d be in. Her home is beautiful and very well kept, which made it even easier to feel confident leaving our pupper in her care. Communication throughout was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. We’ll absolutely be booking with Alani again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Our pups had a great stay with Tracy! She was a fantastic sitter —communicative and our dogs had a great time. It was so relieving knowing that the dogs were in great hands!”
“Brooke and her family are awesome. Always greeted with a smile. They also helped in giving him his ear meds. So glad I found a reliable sitter for Bruce.”
“Huaqing was amazing! She took great care of our 2 golden retrievers while we were out of town for a long weekend. This was my first time leaving them with someone new and she made the experience so seamless for me. They were so happy to be with her and all of the updates she gave were great. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Maritza was wonderful and gave me daily updates and photos of Otis. Her two young daughters were also pictured with Otis and they were loving towards him. Otis appeared content and happy. I would definitely recommend Maritza as a loving and caring pet sitter. I will consider her as my first choice in the future.”
“Sarah took excellent care of my dog Flynn, this was my first time leaving Flynn with anyone and I felt so much better knowing Sarah was taking excellent care of him! She sent me picture updates and Flynn came home so happy! She was also quick to respond to my initial inquiry and flexible with moving the dates around since I originally booked the wrong dates. I would definitely recommend choosing Sarah as a dog sitter.”
“Our boys had an absolute blast staying with Amber! A family of true animal lovers. They put up with our 2 energetic Goldens swimming in their pool all weekend long. Dogs weee wiped when they got home!”
“Elena and her husband were the BEST with our girl. We felt very comfortable from drop off to pick up. We had a delay in our flight home and Elena was very understanding and accommodating. We recommend her and her husband any time and look forward to booking with her again!”
“She was wonderful!!! Not only did she handle my chaotic energy when I showed up (doesn’t happen often but that day was something else) she was also so attentive to my dog and love him like her own. She sent me updates and pictures and even dropped him off at my cousins for me, which I greatly appreciated! This was my 1st time leaving him alone with someone I have never met and I was honestly never stressed about what was going on or if he was being loved or taken care of well! She did absolutely amazing!! My dog has some quirks but they never seemed to bother her! Will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter and would 110% recommend her to anyone!”
“This is our second time leaving Koda with Ms. Marisa. As always, we felt very much at ease leaving him with her, knowing that he will be loved and well taken care of. We received video and photo updates from Ms. Marisa daily - which we loved. Thank you so much for caring and loving Koda while we were out of town, Ms. Marisa!!!”
“Wesley, Alison, and Hazel took such wonderful care of Coal while we were away for the weekend! It was clear from the updates and photos that he was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. They even introduced him to the pool, which was such a fun experience for him! Hazel was a great companion, and Coal seemed to have a blast spending time with her. We truly appreciated the love, attention, and care they gave him and would absolutely trust them with Coal again. Highly recommend!”

“Elise was awesome. She was very thorough in visit summaries through the rover card & kept us updated with pics. She even got our kitties a toy! We were very impressed with Elise & are happy to of found such a great sitter to continue to use. We appreciate you!”
“Absolute stellar service! Alicia used ingenuity to reach our stubborn old cat and give him his food and daily meds, and eventually won his approval as well. The daily photo let us know he was okay and allowed us to enjoy the longest time away from home we have had in 25 years. Her attention to detail was amazing and we highly recommend her.”
“Kayla was great with my cat Luna! Great attention to detail and she followed all instructions perfectly. Luna seemed very happy and satisfied when I came back from my trip. Would definitely rebook again!”
About: I have had pets and been around dogs/cats my whole life. I have taken care of my parents dogs and freinds critters in the past. I pay attention to detail and will treat your critter as if they were my own or if they belonged to a family member. I have a full time job from 8am-4pm and I am open on weekends. Dog walking is my most flexible service, but I will make time to check on your critters, and depending on the weekend, I can stay with them. I would care for a pet as an extension of any pet I have ever had. Whether thats keeping them fed, building trust, giving the attention they need, or keeping them safe
“We had our first Rover experience last week. Tom come over to visit our two cats daily for three days. He was meticulous in cleaning the litter boxes, filling food bowls and providing lots of clean water. We have two fountains which he made sure didn’t run dry. Every day we received pictures and a short note from Tom. We were really pleased that we had no worries about the cats’ health and well-being. We will definitely be using Rover again and requesting Tom specifically.”
“Vicki did an amazing job watching over my cats while I was away. I would highly recommend her for your pets care. I would definitely hire again the next time i need someone to look in on my pets.”
“Sicily was available for a last minute booking and I’m glad she was! She was able to work with my schedule and was super considerate with my finicky cats, even going beyond and cleaning up after them and making sure the outdoor cat had access to his food when he wouldn’t come inside. Very thoughtful and considerate. Will definitely book with Sicily again, highly recommend!”
“Briana was very quick with her responses and responded on a very short notice. Appreciated the care she gave to Calvin. Was very informative and sweet with Calvin. Very pleased with the services I received. Calvin adored her!! Would recommend and book again!!”
“Can’t thank Carly enough for getting me out of a last minute jam. She took amazing care of my two pups and did a great job communicating updates. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: Let's start off with the obvious, it can be nerve racking trusting someone else with your dog, they're your family! I completely understand nerves and hesitations, I experience them myself as I have a puppy- it is hard being away from him. So let me share a little about me and provide you with reassurance that your family member will be in loving and trustworthy hands. I have had the pleasurer of caring for pups and dogs since I was 13 years old. I have had family dogs for all my life, two of which were/are my own. My dog and two of my family dogs have been professionally trained. Now that is for my puppy, I share that so you know the dedication and patience I have- I will implement whatever training you are working on and will respect your desires for your dog. I am currently available Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for walks and drop ins throughout the day, and after 6pm Monday and Wednesday. I am also available for walks and drop ins anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. I will implement whatever training/commands you have established with your dog/pup and do my best to maintain his existing schedule. This will include eating times and walk times- which I will do my best to accommodate.
“I can’t recommend Sara enough! I really liked her profile and she was amazing! We have a really timid dog that takes time to warm up, Sara was super patient with him and by the 3rd visit he was so excited to see her. Sara is amazing and really loves dogs!”
“This was our first booking with Avery and she is wonderful. She provided photos and updates. Our dog seemed more calm and relaxed around her with each visit. We can’t wait to use her services again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats on the farm and own two dogs of my own. I have had each of them since they were puppies and they are now 7 and 8 years old. One of my dogs is reactive to other dogs so I understand some animals need a little extra time, love, and support to feel comfortable. I also foster kittens through a local organization. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years and have struggled to find trustworthy individuals to let my dogs out with my irregular schedule. I joined rover to help other people working odd hours have care for their pets. Since I have worked both day and night shift, I understand the need for animal care at non-traditional hours. I have also been a travel nurse and know the stress of moving to a new city and finding care. I am available on weekends, most holidays, and days before 2pm. I am occasionally available Monday and Friday evenings as well. I am familiar with cats and dogs of all sizes. I abide by your preferences and will ensure your pets are taken care of in the same manner you would care for them.
“I've used Elora numerous times and everytime is amazing! She's thoughtful, great with dogs and very communicative! I feel confident relaxing knowing she's watching my dog!”
“Kelly is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my cat with her because he is not used to being around other cats or a big dog. Kelly slowly introduced them all to each over a period of two weeks so T’Challa could interact at his own pace, and they all became fast friends. Kelly sent me pics and texts each day during my cat’s stay which greatly lowered my stress level knowing he felt happy there and began to get into shenanigans! Kelly took my “Things to know about my cat” list seriously and I really appreciated it. Kelly is friendly, knowledgable, accommodating and truly loved having my super sweet, affectionate cat stay at her apartment. I will definitely leave T’Challa with her again the next time I travel!”

“I couldn't recommend anyone more than Alex! She is patient and kind and her communication is outstanding! She also has great and positive energy, along with a very inviting and pet friendly home. I have one nervous pup and one social butterfly and she was fabulous with accommodating both of them. Alex is the very best and knowing my babies are in such good care lets me be able to enjoy my time away. We immediately rebooked her for our next trip! Thank you Alex!”
“Courtney was communicative, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. Mazi enjoyed his stay, and I appreciated the updates and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Cindy is fantastic. Our dog spent a few workdays while one of us was traveling, and he clearly felt comfortable and happy while at the same time Cindy provided a structured, calm, and enriching environment for him. He got walks and puzzles and even another dog friend to play with on occasion. Cindy was very patient, attentive, and kind. She has an excellent confident demeanor and establishes boundaries effectively and naturally with the pups. I would recommend Cindy in a heartbeat.”
“Dallas was perfect. He loved on my dog as soon as he saw her and sent me photos before I even got to my destination. He sent a lot of photos and a video and I could tell she felt right at home. Thanks Dallas. Mitzi will be excited to see you again. 😊”
“Susan watched our two Huskies for several doggie day care visits. She and her husband were so friendly and easy going, we immediately felt at ease leaving our furbabies with them. You can tell that they really enjoy having dogs around. Our dogs got walks, playtime, and we got plenty of pics/updates. I would highly recommend Susan. She will be one of our first choices when looking for care again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, and spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful Chihuahuas and energetic puppies to gentle Huskies, senior pets, and independent cats. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I take the time to get to know their unique personality, routines, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra patience and care, including administering medications and following special routines. I'm also comfortable with puppies who are still learning and need consistency, supervision, and lots of positive reinforcement. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel connected when you're away from your furry family member. That's why I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. In My Home: When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. My fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, fresh air, and potty breaks, with both grass and shaded areas to keep pets comfortable. We're also conveniently located near parks and walking trails, making it easy to provide regular exercise and enrichment. Because I work from home full-time, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain each pet's normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule as closely as possible to help reduce stress and make their stay feel familiar. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. In Your Home: When caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're accustomed to. I understand that trust is essential when welcoming someone into your home, so I treat every home with the utmost respect and care. I'll keep you updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight house sitting, I strive to provide dependable care and lots of love while you're away.
About: I have a 9 year old French bulldog that I’ve had since he was a puppy.

I have a lot of time to care for dogs that need a lot of attention. I have a large fenced in backyard with real grass. My French bulldog is very chill and calm and loves other dogs.

About: I have taken care of my 100% dependent grandfather and I have had many dogs of different breeds which I have taken care of with a lot of love and responsibility 🥰 Currently I don't work and study online so I'm flexible to all kinds of schedules. I will be 100% available whenever you need my help 🥰 I prefer to take care of them in their own house since it is more comfortable for pets to be in their territory and quiet, but also my house is a pleasant and safe environment for their pets.
About: From daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and giving plenty of affection, I understand the responsibility and patience it takes to keep pets happy and healthy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll give your dog the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic pups or making sure older dogs are comfortable and cared for, I’m here to help your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work a regular 8–4 schedule, which leaves my evenings and nights free for pet care. That makes me a great fit for evening walks, playtime, feeding, or even overnight sitting.

Creating a safe, happy environment for everyone is my top priority.
“I’m so glad I found Paige! My dog Marley absolutely loves going over there. Paige makes you feel comfortable and safe leaving you’re dog all day and overnight. She gives updates and takes the time to learn your dogs typical behavior, to know when something might be ‘off’. Truly goes above and beyond!”

About: My family has had dogs since before I can remember. We have cared for large and small dogs during that time and have always wished we could adopt them all! Since I can’t, I have decided to start helping out families with their pups to ensure they are being cared for during those needed times. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m home Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays which leaves me to have a relatively flexible schedule for walks and love! I have a fenced in backyard and 2 dogs of my own. I feed separately to avoid any issues with over protection of food. Walks are our daily routine especially as the weather gets cooler.
About: Flexible and Adaptive: Every pet and home is unique, and I adjust my care plan accordingly, whether it’s dealing with a pet’s specific health condition or respecting the nuances of your home environment. My blend of professional caregiving experience, especially with the young, the elderly, and those with special needs, combined with a heartfelt commitment to the well-being of pets and homes, makes me uniquely qualified to offer an unparalleled sitting service. I structure my day around pet care needs, whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day playtimes, or evening cuddles. My work schedule is adaptable, allowing me to cater to the specific routines of the pets I sit for. Dedicated Time Blocks: I allocate specific time blocks for different aspects of pet care: Morning: Early walks, feeding, and playtime to kick start the day with energy. Midday: A break for both me and the pets, including training sessions or quiet time for older pets. Evening: Dinner, another walk or play session, and settling down activities to prepare for bedtime. I have a fenced yard and a work at home roommate who also has years of experience with mostly all kinds of dogs and is a big nurturing pet lover.

“Sara was amazing with my boy, Nox. Despite needing to make a few modifications to the booking because of unexpected work plans, I am grateful Sara was able to accomodate my schedule changes. She had great communication and would update me with photos regularly. It gave me total piece of mind that my dog was in good hands. I'd be happy work with Sara again in the future.”

I am also a slow but passionate runner and am happy to include runs as well :) I have a lot of experience dealing with difficult pets. I can handle big and loud dogs, crazy chihuahuas, temperamental cats, and more. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking and am able to appreciate each and every pet for who they are.

“Kayla is so knowledgeable, trustworthy, and such a delight. You can tell immediately that she loves animals fiercely and enjoys taking care of them. I am so grateful to have found her and she is my go to sitter/walker for our little loves. Thank you endlessly, Kayla!!”
About: I'm from Costa Rica, but I've been in AZ for 10 years now. I've had dogs pretty much my whole life. Now I live in Tempe near the mall, and there's a park right by my apartment. My job's flexible, so I can give whatever care is needed. I love all breeds.
About: I've loved all types of animals growing up. We always had a dog. My family raised a rooster, goats, horses, chickens, ducks, and emu's. They had an iguana at one point and my favorite thing was to help care for the animals. At 19, I fell in love with a black short hair rescue cat and I've had cats since. I am currently a caregiver and full time mom. Pet care, in shorter shifts, helps facilitate helping my client and taking the best care of my family. I care for my cats by helping groom them via brush or glove, sift litter daily and change litter weekly. Having several cats means continuous care.

About: I have the time, patience, and heart to give your dog the attention they deserve—whether it’s for walks, cuddles, or just good company while you’re away. I do work M-F on a 8am to 5pm schedule so anytime around that works for me whether that’s after work or the weekends! Once I’m staying in the house, I try to keep everything as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. That means feeding them at the right times, sticking to their usual walk or play schedule, and giving them attention if they’re used to a lot of company. If they’re shy or independent, I respect that too. I pay attention to their body language so I can tell if they need more space or more love.
About: I have lived with animals my whole life. Because I move a lot, I do not own a pet of my own, but I watch and care for my friends' and roommates' pets as much as I can so I can get my fix. I understand the importance of trust and comfort when leaving your pet with someone. My active lifestyle allows me to keep dogs engaged with exercise, and my calm nature helps soothe more anxious or shy pets. I work during the week, and I will mainly be available to petsit during weekends: Friday night, Saturdays, and Sundays. I do occasionally work from home and can watch your fur babies on a case by case basis on weekdays! I love running, hiking, and movement. If comfortable, I would love to hike with your pup! Additionally, I am an early riser, and I can do early. morning walks or drop ins (5:00 AM-7:00 AM) everyday. For dogs, I love incorporating activities like walks, runs, and hikes into our day, providing them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I'm always mindful of their safety, keeping an eye on weather conditions and ensuring they have access to fresh water and shade. With cats, I focus on maintaining their normal routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. Whether it's playtime with their favorite toys, brushing sessions, or just curling up for some quiet time, I make sure they feel secure and happy. In both settings, I keep communication open with the pet owners, sending updates and photos so they know their furry family members are in good hands.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've dedicated many years to caring for a wide variety of pets. My experience extends beyond my own beloved companions—which include two dogs of my own, my son's two dogs, a sweet cat, and even a baby tortoise! I also honed my skills working in the Specialty Department at PetSmart, where I gained hands-on knowledge caring for and falling in love with everything from dogs, cats, ferrets, and birds to rodents, reptiles, and fish. You can rest assured your furry, feathered, or scaled family members will receive expert, compassionate care in my hands. I am available right now for overnight stays, but will need to be able to leave during the day to care for my own pets and work my part time job. I provide 2 walks per day (morning & night). As well as have a backyard patio space where the dogs can play. I have 2 dogs myself. Jack, who is 4yrs old and I think is a Pallion/Schipperke mix, and Zoey who is a 2yr old Golden Retriever mix. They both love meeting new friends of all sizes.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats on the farm and own two dogs of my own. I have had each of them since they were puppies and they are now 7 and 8 years old. One of my dogs is reactive to other dogs so I understand some animals need a little extra time, love, and support to feel comfortable. I also foster kittens through a local organization. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years and have struggled to find trustworthy individuals to let my dogs out with my irregular schedule. I joined rover to help other people working odd hours have care for their pets. Since I have worked both day and night shift, I understand the need for animal care at non-traditional hours. I have also been a travel nurse and know the stress of moving to a new city and finding care. I am available on weekends, most holidays, and days before 2pm. I am occasionally available Monday and Friday evenings as well. I am familiar with cats and dogs of all sizes. I abide by your preferences and will ensure your pets are taken care of in the same manner you would care for them.
“Briana was INCREDIBLE! I needed a dog walker last minute and she was willing and able. I planned to only leave one dog with her, but I decided to leave both. She walked him as instructed and not only that I did not inform her that I keep the leashes hanging on the hooks behind the door I came home and those leashes we’re on the hooks they belong on! I didn’t even need to give her that instruction. This is how incredible she is. I will continue to reach out to her through this at any time I need my dogs taken care of my small dog is a Chihuahua, so I hesitated to leave him with her. However, she has incredible experience with this type of dog, and was able to walk him without a problem, the dog I needed her to walk is a 70 pound dog. She was able to walk him with no problem at all the first walk they didn’t require a full 30 minute walk yet she stayed at my apartment and spent time with them because she was being paid for that half hour , she is honest, reliable and intelligent. She catches on and simply takes care of your dogs in the best possible way I will continue to call her when I need my dogs watched thank you to Rover and thank you Briana!”
About: Caring for animals feel natural to me and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and routines. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to adults. As a dog mom myself, I’m comfortable with crate training, reinforcing basic commands, administering medications, and following special diets or care instructions. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so pets can feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’m a full-time online student and stay-at-home mom, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time with the pets I care for. My two daughters absolutely adore animals and love helping give them attention and affection, while also understanding that some pets need space and quiet time. I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I’m a full-time online student and stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and boarding with advance notice. I’m happy to adjust with some heads up to meet your pet’s needs. I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet in my care. I live in an apartment with a dog park and enjoy walks and hikes. My own dog is neutered and vaccinated. I’m good with reading body language and I treat every pet as if they were my own!

“We loved having Miika stay with Sergio and Bethany. They were very kind, communicative and took great care of our dog while we were gone. Will definitely return!”
“Christian and Hana were very communicative throughout the whole process. Had a flight delay and they were able to accommodate and extend the stay for another night. Took great care of Moe and allowed me to travel worry free, would highly recommend.”
“Eric was truly amazing, believe every single outstanding review. It is very clear that he and his husband are so caring and loving towards the animals they keep. My two pups seemed comfortable and content the entire 5 days we were gone like they were with family. My husband and I went on a cruise and didn't have the best service but that didn't stop Eric from updating us everyday with pictures, videos, and a rundown of the day. And of course we cannot forget the cutest portraits of my pups that he took. Those are definitely our new favorite pictures! Anyone would be lucky to book with this household!”
“We had such a great experience with Alani! From the start, she made us feel really comfortable by inviting us into her home to see exactly where our dog would be staying and to meet her family. That meant a lot to us. It felt very welcoming and gave me peace of mind knowing the environment he’d be in. Her home is beautiful and very well kept, which made it even easier to feel confident leaving our pupper in her care. Communication throughout was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. We’ll absolutely be booking with Alani again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Brooke and her family are awesome. Always greeted with a smile. They also helped in giving him his ear meds. So glad I found a reliable sitter for Bruce.”

This was my first time leaving them with someone new and she made the experience so seamless for me. They were so happy to be with her and all of the updates she gave were great. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”

It was clear from the updates and photos that he was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. They even introduced him to the pool, which was such a fun experience for him! Hazel was a great companion, and Coal seemed to have a blast spending time with her. We truly appreciated the love, attention, and care they gave him and would absolutely trust them with Coal again. Highly recommend!”
“Honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They were great with communication and sending loads of updates on my pups as I was out of state getting married. They played a bunch with Bendu who is a very active and pet Sandy who only wants love. I can’t say enough positive things! They are amazing ❤️”

“As a first time Rover user, Dallas far exceeded my expectations. Received multiple photos every day to keep me in the loop. Would recommend Dallas to other families and we will definitely use Dallas again!”
“Was very attentive to my comfortably and safety of my dog. She communicated well and gave updates. Was always a pleasure to speak to and understood Xena and I had some not so pleasant visits with a previous sitter, she reassured me that Xena was in good hands. Xena came back happy and healthy, full and played out. She had a good time and I would recommend this sitter to anyone in need of a safe place for a temporary stay. Great job”
“My dog always has the best time at Veronica’s. She sends me updates and cute pictures of Stella at least once a day. Stella is always excited to play with her and her kids and she loves the chickens in her backyard.”
