“Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.”
“Max had a wonderful stay - had so much fun with his new doggie friends. We loved all the photos! Only thing is now we think Max just wants to go back! I thought he would be anxious, but no - he loved his time there and we felt relieved he was being well-cared for and having fun. I know we'll be back soon!”
“Clara was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and communicative throughout the entire stay. I felt completely at ease knowing Mello was in such good hands. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”
“Shipra and family were awesome with my Shuri during her stay over a recent long weekend. As it was our first time, we did a quick meet and greet, and I could see they really care for the dogs and prioritize their care. Shipra was forthright with questions, accommodating of my timings and requests, and overall a caring host. She sent me regular pics and updates of Shuri having fun with her family and their sweet pupper Shadow. I could relax during my own vacation knowing Shuri was well cared for. And Shuri came home a tired and happy dog. Couldn't ask for more!”
“Svetlana took great care of my dog Louise! She sent daily updates and was very flexible with pickup and drop-off times, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely book with her again for future boarding.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
“Great communication. Our dogs did really well with them. One of our dogs unexpectedly hurt his back a few days before our boarding. We were happy to find his condition actually improved after boarding with them. We’re relieved they seemed well taken care of. Will definitely use Rachel and Jason again.”
“We had a great experience with Peter. He and his family took great care of our pup. He was very easy to communicate with and sent updates with pictures throughout our pup’s stay. We felt reassured that our pup was doing well and cared for. Would definitely recommend and use for future stays!”
“Kosar was a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of our dog, including multiple daily walks and frequent photo updates. We highly recommend her and definitely hope to use her services again in the future.”
“Yu-shu and family were AMAZING! We got a ton of updates complete with pictures and narratives every day during our vacation, and Leche was always so happy and loved, playing with other people and dogs! It was a wonder how Leche wanted to come back home to us! I hope Leche can stay with your family again, because she loved it, and we had zero worries or concerns about how she was doing. Thank you so much!”
“Lili and Matt were great with my dog Charlie. They sent pictures and happily made the accommodations I had requested. Took him on regular walks to the park. It was nice to be able to trust them with Charlie and not have to worry during our travels. Thank you and we’ll definitely be back!”
“Sameer and his family are awesome. My dog was very happy when we picked him up, he wasn't stressed at all. Highly recommen Sameer as a pet sitter. We will defintely use him again.”
“Kona had a fun time with An and her family! We appreciated the many photos and videos she shared of Kona’s visit. She took good care of Kona. We would absolutely book with An again!”
“I can’t thank Sarah enough for helping me out with a last-minute booking. She is an outstanding dog sitter—so kind, responsible, and professional. My dog received lots of attention — and she gave me great updates which I really appreciated. Her communication and overall care for my sweet boy was outstanding. If you need someone you can truly trust to take care of your precious pet, I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Saumya and Gaurav took great care of our dog Coco. They sent constant updates and pictures and very accommodating and accessible. Really appreciate all the help and we will definitely leave Coco again with them, as we now feel we have a trusted family to take care of our pet.”
“Such a sweet person!! Carolyn went above and beyond to help us with our Sadie - she was our flower girl at our wedding and Carolyn was willing to come to the venue and get Sadie after our ceremony. She’s got a golden heart for animals! Thank you so much!!!”
“We first used Braden and Natalie for one day of doggy daycare, and it was clear Millie had a wonderful time. We knew she got plenty of interaction since she was tired when she got home. It was even more apparent when we brought her back a few days later for boarding since once we walked up the driveway, she started getting excited as she recognized the place—that gave us so much peace of mind. From the initial meet and greet, Braden and Natalie were thoughtful and thorough. They asked great questions, were down to earth, and clearly cared about getting to know Millie and her needs and keeping to her schedule. Throughout her stay, they kept us updated, which we really appreciated. Millie was happy and well cared for, and we felt totally comfortable leaving her with them. We’ll absolutely be using them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others!”
About: I grew up with two Golden Retrievers and learned to take care of them at a young age. I also have experience with pet sitting for neighbors and friends animals, whether that be staying at their homes or bringing pets into my own home. I love dogs so much and believe they deserve to be protected and respected just as humans are! I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I have tons of free-time to hangout with the pups. My routine is very simple and includes walking my own dog daily! I have a 3 bedroom home that also includes a fenced in backyard for your pup to play outside! I have a 10 year old Golden Retriever who gets along well with all breeds and is very mellow.
“Keelin was excellent! She took a great care of Rupee. Kept me informed with pictures and updates. Rupee will go back again to stay with Keelin again. Thank you Keelin for taking such great care of Rupee and give me the peace of mind that I didn’t have to worry about him.”

“Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of my cats. He is extremely responsible, reliable, and genuinely caring. He followed all feeding instructions carefully, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. He also provided timely updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My cats can be shy, but they warmed up to him quickly, which really shows his patience and love for animals！”
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
“Yongxin was a great cat sitter! I went away on a two week trip overseas, and she took excellent care of my two cats. She made sure the cats were fed, watered, and cleaned up after, and my cats clearly enjoyed her company. I really appreciated Yongxin’s daily photo updates showing how the cats were doing on her visits. The photos helped put my mind at ease while I was away from my cats.”
“Qiuwen is very considerate and caring pet sitter. My cat loves her. I feel very calm leaving my kitten in her care when I am out of town. She sends me tons of pictures and videos when she visits him. She takes care of everything I asked her to do, feeding him, cleaning litter boxes, brushing him. I would highly recommend her.”
“Logan was an excellent cat sitter for our 2 young cats, dropping in to take care of them for a week+ trip. He is trustworthy and responsible; his genuine love for cats means he will really care for them and he was respectful of the house, keeping it neat and as-is. He went above and beyond for our cats, providing them with extra affection and playtime rather than just dropping in to scoop litter and check on food/water. We were also given lots of photos and notes about how they were doing, it was as stress-free as a trip away from pets could be!”
“Jenarae is a great resource for us. She is conscientious, professional and bonds well with our cat. She did everything just right according to the needs of our animal family member. As a former cat sitter myself, I can highly recommend Jenarae, and am happy to have a reliable and personable sitter when I need one.”
“Emma made my cat Jack feel welcome and at home! She sent me pictures regularly of him throughout his stay. I truly felt that Jack was well cared for and given lots of attention while I was gone. I’m definitely booking with her again!”

“Sandra is amazing! Super detailed notes and went above and beyond my expectations. You can tell that she loves what she does and she loves animals. Such a blessing to find a great friend for my Loki bean”
“Megan was great with drop-in visits and taking care of our cat for almost 2 weeks! Her visit updates were thorough, included a lot of pictures, and really helped ease our concerns about having to leave for a long trip. I’m so grateful she was available and took such good care of our cat!”
“Anne went above and beyond for our kitties. She provided detailed updates with photos and made us feel like our babies were safe and in good care. Highly recommended her and will be using her again.”
“She was AWESOME with a 2 fur babies. They warmed up to her quickly. Definitely would recommend her to take care of your pets. We will be using her again. Thanks for taking g care of them.”
“Bailey was very good with our cats, she went above and beyond with plant care too. I’ll definitely approach her again when I have to leave home for extended periods of time. She’s punctual and dedicated, my cats love her too”

“Absolutely amazing. I needed a last minute sitter for my pup and Fiona and Yuan were nice enough to accept my booking. Got dates throughout the day on how he was doing and when I picked him up he looked like such a happy pup! Rocket had a blast!”
“Ashley took care of my pup while I was away for most of the day and she was great. Her dog played with mine, and fannie cuddled up with Ashley on the sofa for a nap. Ashley is very kind and sent pics. Great overall!”
“Sunayana was amazing! Newton had so much fun around her and the kids. She did work with him on leash pull and suggested few things that was really helpful!! Would love to board him again.”
“This was our second experience with Susan in just a month—this time for daycare—and it confirmed everything we already felt about her. The moment Mochi’s paws touched the grass, she knew where she was. She sprinted to the front door, then to the garage looking for Susan, then back again—at one point even trying to crawl under the gate to get to her! It was hilarious, heart-melting, and such a clear sign of how special Susan is to her. Mochi absolutely adores her. At pickup, Mochi was happy to see me—but then ran right back to Susan for one last cuddle. It was priceless. Susan truly understands the perfect dog equation: a well-exercised + mentally stimulated + loved dog = a happy, content, and tired pup. Mochi was snoring the moment we got home! Whether you need daycare or an overnight stay, Susan is, without a doubt, the one.”
“We left our 4 yr old dog with Rachna, and he thoroughly enjoyed his stay. He came back happy at the end of the day. She took good care of him. This was first time our dog stayed with another dog and a cat, and they all got along fine. Rachna also sent pictures. Overall, we were very satisfied and happy with her. Will of course use her services again in future. Thanks Rachna.”

I also have two pets of my own, so I understand how much they mean to you! In addition to my own pets, I’ve cared for many friends’ and family members’ animals, including dogs, cats, and even a chicken ! so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs.

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life; at both houses we had at least 3 cats and 3 dogs at a time with the occasional hamster, rat, snake, or rabbit. I’ve adopted most of my pets from shelters, and have helped raised two litters (one was kittens, the other was puppies). Having a wide variety of animals introduced me to a wide array of personality types from friendly and cuddly to moody or shy. These experiences have taught me to have an abundance of patience and understanding, and to be able to adapt to individual needs. The animals I’ve watched/raised/trained have been all different breeds and sizes; from a 3 pound chihuahua to a 85 pound German/Pitt mix. I’ve taken care of older dogs, who need extra care, as well as sick dogs and/or dogs with preexisting conditions who require medications once, twice, or three times a day. Not only have I helped with my animals, but I’ve watched other peoples houses/pets as well. I’m pretty much a homebody, so aside from a couple hours each day, I’m available and flexible and can hangout with your pets for as long as you need. I’m a great communicator too, so if an issue were to arise, I will reach out right away because your pet’s health and well-being is my top priority. I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is open and flexible. I do prefer a couple of days of notice in advanced, unless it’s an emergency. I will take care of your pet however you need me to. When it comes your pets health and well-being, I know you know what’s best, and I will never disrespect your wants or needs. If you need me to house sit, I will respect your property. I’m very neat, organized, and clean (slightly OCD) so I would never leave a mess.

“Eliana goes above and beyond! My pup got into my hamper of clothes and I saw it on the dog camera so I reached out to her after his walk and she was so kind and went back to move the crate so he couldn’t get to my clothes! She saved my leggings!!! She’s amazing”

I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I’m currently transitioning into trade school Friday–Sunday, which means I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to your pets! I’m available Monday through Thursday for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your furry (or scaly!) family members. I love building routines with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away! For the comfort and safety of all pets, I provide care in your home rather than mine. I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or just giving extra love and attention, I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care as my own.

“Svetlana took great care of my dog Louise! She sent daily updates and was very flexible with pickup and drop-off times, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely book with her again for future boarding.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
“Great communication. Our dogs did really well with them. One of our dogs unexpectedly hurt his back a few days before our boarding. We were happy to find his condition actually improved after boarding with them. We’re relieved they seemed well taken care of. Will definitely use Rachel and Jason again.”
“Yu-shu and family were AMAZING! We got a ton of updates complete with pictures and narratives every day during our vacation, and Leche was always so happy and loved, playing with other people and dogs! It was a wonder how Leche wanted to come back home to us! I hope Leche can stay with your family again, because she loved it, and we had zero worries or concerns about how she was doing. Thank you so much!”
“Sameer and his family are awesome. My dog was very happy when we picked him up, he wasn't stressed at all. Highly recommen Sameer as a pet sitter. We will defintely use him again.”
“I can’t thank Sarah enough for helping me out with a last-minute booking. She is an outstanding dog sitter—so kind, responsible, and professional. My dog received lots of attention — and she gave me great updates which I really appreciated. Her communication and overall care for my sweet boy was outstanding. If you need someone you can truly trust to take care of your precious pet, I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Such a sweet person!! Carolyn went above and beyond to help us with our Sadie - she was our flower girl at our wedding and Carolyn was willing to come to the venue and get Sadie after our ceremony. She’s got a golden heart for animals! Thank you so much!!!”
About: I grew up with two Golden Retrievers and learned to take care of them at a young age. I also have experience with pet sitting for neighbors and friends animals, whether that be staying at their homes or bringing pets into my own home. I love dogs so much and believe they deserve to be protected and respected just as humans are! I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I have tons of free-time to hangout with the pups. My routine is very simple and includes walking my own dog daily! I have a 3 bedroom home that also includes a fenced in backyard for your pup to play outside! I have a 10 year old Golden Retriever who gets along well with all breeds and is very mellow.
About: I have been a proud dog parent to my German Shepherd, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a large, intelligent, and high-energy breed. Through these years, I handled daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, training reinforcement, and lots of playtime and companionship. Caring for a German Shepherd taught me the importance of structure, patience, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I understand how much love, attention, and consistency dogs need to feel safe and happy. I truly love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own — with care, responsibility, and plenty of affection. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend most of my day with the pets I care for, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so dogs receive constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My home has a spacious 12,000 sq. ft. backyard, including a separate fenced area for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where every dog is treated like family. 🐾
“. Dyan and family have been wonderful with caring for our 13 Lb Bichon, Lola. Lots of pics, videos, and texts. We feel confident she is being well cared for. Easy to work with, flexible and on time. We definitely do recommend her.”
About: I love helping others, and that extends to both pets and their owners. My goal is to make sure your pet is well cared for while also giving you peace of mind and a stress-free experience 🐶 I’m a part-time Starbucks barista and student with a flexible schedule. I offer boarding Monday–Thursday, along with walks, playtime, and pup cups all week ☕🐾 With a fenced yard for safe play and a calm, cozy home for naps, your pup gets the best of both worlds. I will always supervise and pay close attention!
“The family clearly loves dogs and their dog Prince is true to his name. He buddied up with our lab so quickly at the meet and greet and they played the entire time. Our dog was so excited to visit after that one meeting. It’s clear they have been doing this a long time and we will definitely be going back !”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“Lauren took great care of my sweet old lady pup. She sent pictures and responded promptly if I had questions while away. My pup is blind and needs eyedrops, and I felt secure with Lauren watching her. 5 stars!”
“Alyssa kept our puppy 11-month-old Callie for a week. This was our first time using a Rover sitter for an extended time and Alyssa and her family were great with Callie. Callie came home tired and happy, and I'm sure had lots of playtime with Alyssa's dog Buster. Alyssa was great with sending pictures and/or messages to let us know how Callie was doing. We will definitely use Alyssa again and are really happy that she made our first time leaving one of our dogs with someone other than family really easy and comfortable.”
“We had out little one, Shades, stay with Namita for a few days. Namita sent us updates and photos throughout the stay, and we knew he was very well cared for. Namita and her family cared for Shades as if he was their own family member, and that is the most important feeling I could have have. She is definitely someone I can highly recommend.”
“April was amazing as a sitter for our girls! We were gone for more than 2 weeks and she took amazing care of them. We constantly received pictures of how much fun they were having and we honestly felt how much care and love she gave to our girls. We are glad to have found someone we can trust for our extended trips!”
“Jasmine was kind enough to accept an end minute request for sitting our dog on Christmas night. She was very accommodating and took such good care of our dog, sending us pictures and videos all through the stay. I would highly recommend Jasmine and will definitely be dropping Ava off with her on our next trip!”
“We couldn’t have enjoyed our vacation without Ruchi being so patient and loving with our dog Amba! It was our first time using Rover to board Amba and he has a lot of separation anxiety. Ruchi was very patient and gained Amba’s trust overnight! She would send me updates on a daily basis and lots of photos and videos. She even gave me tips on how to leash train my dog (what a bonus)! We would definitely go back to Ruchi in the future if we need to board Amba!”
