“SaeWon was so kind and caring towards my sweet pup, Ava. I always get nervous leaving my pup with a stranger for boarding but SaeWon kept me in the loop with lots of pictures and videos of Ava while I was gone. She also sent me updates on her and it gave me lots of ease knowing my dog was taken care of. SaeWon’s sons also helpedcare for the dogs and I can tell the sons are wonderful with dogs!! I highly recommend SaeWon and her family’s services. Thank you for everything, SaeWon!”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“5 star ⭐️ experience. She is very caring and attentive with pets. Even with my dog who has alot of anxiety at first, she made him feel at home shortly after my dog arrived at her home. She will provide regular updates and ensure your loving pet is taken care of. Highly recommended”
“Leaving our 8 month old frenchie with Doug was so helpful. It was comforting to receive some photos and videos while we were away. We would definitely book with Doug again!”
“Jennie and Bennie are the best cat sitters!!!! They took care of our three cats for two weeks, and they sent me daily updates explaining how they were adjusting to their house along with photos and videos. The room for the cats is beautiful and perfect for climbing and playing. Jennie and Bennie are trustworthy, caring, reliable, and knowledgeable about cats. I knew my cats were safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend them.”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding Chester here! A big thank you to you all for taking such great care and for sending us daily updates with pictures—it really gave us peace of mind while we were away. The communication was excellent, with timely responses to all our messages. We could tell our Chester was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!”
“Wen was wonderful! She's incredibly responsive and caring, and she sent us pictures throughout, which put us completely at ease. Our beagle Mango was comfortable with her from the start. We'll definitely be booking Wen again — highly recommend!”
“Athena had a great time when she boarded with Afra and her family. We were kept updated with regular photos, and messages. And Afra was flexible with times as well. Definitely looking to rebook another time”
“Temi was amazing! She took such great care of my goofy guy for 2 weeks. Sent a ton of photos and gave daily updates, just what I needed to put my mind at ease! Ottie can be very stubborn at times, so I truly appreciated all the patience she had with him. I could tell he had a great time! I almost felt guilty taking home home since I'm sure this was a fun vacay for him too. Temi will be my go-to for any future bookings!”
“Couldn’t have asked for better care—Cie kept our pup happy, safe, and pampered. Total pro, super responsive, sent us many pictures showing him having a ball. Cie is the only dog sitter we will use.”
“Mika-san went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She sent us updates and photos daily and took him out for a walk everyday and we could tell our dog was super comfortable in her home. Our dog enjoyed playtime with her sons too. Would definitely want to book with Mika-san again!”
“I recently left my puppy, Cosmo, with Rebecca for a one-day and overnight trial stay—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Incredibly proactive, she not only ensured he was well cared for, but even worked on his leash training while he was with her. What truly set her apart was the level of attentiveness and love she showed Cosmo. He was watched over the entire time, and I received countless pictures and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that he was not just being cared for, but truly loved. If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism, training support, and genuine affection for dogs, I highly recommend her. I'm feeling much more confident about my upcoming longer trip knowing Cosmo will be in such capable and caring hands.”
“Annie did an amazing job watching Miso! She is very caring, attentive, and made sure that Miso had the best time. It was clear that Miso felt very comfortable with her and loved staying in her home. Annie sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated on how Miso was doing which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend having Annie watch your fur baby, she will treat them as her own!”
“Tina and her family are very pleasant to work with! Our dog Kona had an amazing time at their place, to the point where she even ran back to their house during pick up, unwilling to come home. Definitely recommend and will continue to work with her in the future!”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“We had Willow board with Sarah and Noah for over a week. They are a wonderful, kind family and took great care of Willow while we were on vacation. They sent us pictures and updates of Willow while we were away and we could tell that Willow was very happy, engaged, and comfortable in their care! We will definitely consider them in the future should we need a dog sitter and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Olga took care of my 2 pups this weekend. With our initial contact, Olga was interested in understanding their habits and daily routines. From making sure she would properly administer heart medication to my senior dog, to how they go potty (on puppy pads and going outside), I truly felt she wanted to make my pups' stay with her as close to what they were used to at home as possible. She sent photos daily and kept me updated on how they were doing. I don't often leave my pups with anyone, but with Olga I felt they were very well taken care of. Thanks Olga!”
“Wonderful dog sitter! They sent photos of my dog several times throughout the day and gave me updates to make me feel comfortable while they were watching my dog. I will use them again for sure.”
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
About: I grew up with a dog and learned how to care for and raise him from a young age. He lived a long life and passed away in my arms at 17, which taught me how deeply pets become part of the family. Later, when I became a parent myself, we brought two dogs into our home right away. One of them had a congenital condition, and for 10 years we cared for him very attentively, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. This gave me strong experience not only in daily care, but also in supporting dogs with medical needs. Now our second dog has lost his companion, and I came to Rover to be helpful to other families and their pets. Your dog will not feel lonely — he will have company, care, and a warm, loving environment. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home most of the day. I structure my day around the dogs — regular walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. It’s very important to me to keep a consistent routine and give each dog enough attention, especially during moments when they may miss their owners. We go on daily walks in safe and pleasant areas nearby. There is also a dog park where your dog can play off-leash if you are comfortable with that, as well as many walking trails for longer, relaxed walks. I always adjust the activity level to your dog’s needs and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We live in a bright, spacious apartment where your dog will feel comfortable and safe. I accept one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so each pet can receive plenty of attention and care. My child is 16 years old and has a great understanding of how to interact with animals respectfully and calmly. You can leave all your instructions, preferences, and schedules — I will follow them carefully to make sure your dog feels at home and stays in their usual routine.

“Greta was amazing watching my cat Mr. Grey while I was away. Great communication the entire time, and gave detailed summaries of each visit. She went above and beyond and I could not recommend her more for any catsitting”
“I’ve booked with Yifan several times and she has always been reliable and punctual. She follows my instructions carefully and takes great care of my cat. She’s professional, dependable, and easy to work with. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Lynn is super helpful! She took care of Marshall while we are gone for holiday. She's super patient and followed instructions well. Marshall is so happy with her! Plus, she also speaks mandarin”
“Yu was absolutely amazing! We were away for 10 days (the longest we’ve ever been away from our fur babies), and she took such wonderful care of our girls. From the start, Yu was incredibly communicative and asked thoughtful questions that showed how much she genuinely cared about understanding our girls and their routines which really helped us feel confident and comfortable leaving them for that long. Each day she sent detailed Rover Cards along with 15–20 photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. It was clear our girls were happy, loved, and well taken care of the entire time. We’ve had our fair share of Rover sitters over the years, but Yu has truly been the best we’ve ever had. She will absolutely be our Rover again moving forward. ❤️”
“We left Oelun in charge of our kitties while we were out of town for a week and she did a stellar job! Great communication, friendly and easygoing, punctual, responsible and organized. And I got the sense that our cats were happy with the service, too. Thanks Oelun!”
“Victoria is a rock solid sitter who you can rely on 100% she went beyond the call to help during my trip and I was able to rest assured my kitties were well cared for even as life's little emergencies pull us in all directions.”
“Regi is one of the most communicative and thorough rovers we have ever had! She sent lots of pictures, was thorough with all the care instructions we left for our cats, and went out of her way to do some extra things to make our cats more comfortable and happy. Our cats absolutely loved her, and we will 100% be rebooking her in the future.”
“Yifei did a great job at dropping in and taking care of my two cats while I was gone! She recorded lots of videos, provided notes on their health and was communicative! I will be happy to ask her for help whenever I need a drop in visit.”
“We are so grateful to Corey for taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. Corey gave us detailed visit notes each day and pictures which helped us know they were taken care of and safe. She even took the time to let my scaredy-cats smell her and get acquainted. She is communicative and comes on time to the scheduled times. Thank you, Corey!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years and currently have a 5-year-old Yorkie named Dashun, who has been part of my family since he was a puppy. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, responsible, and will always treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily make pet care part of my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats on weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking, playtime, and care schedule.

About: My dog Mr.Paisley is 20 years old & Buttercup is 3. I've been blessed to have paisley since he was just a puppy and I was still a kid. We grew up together & through that he has taught me lessons I will carry for rest of my life, like unconditional love, compassion, joy for the present moment & so much more. Buttercup I got as a puppy as well & she instantly brought so much life into our home. I trained her myself to follow commands like stay, lay sit, sit on her butt with paws up, potty training and so much more cool stuff we practice everyday. There's a lot of love between paisley & buttercup, despite the age difference its actual been complimentary to each of them and has made a nice balance in the environment we cultivated as a pack together with regular activities, playtime, rest & relaxing all part of our daily routines. I am currently in college taking fully online courses & I also have an audio production company that I run remotely from my home online, audio is also what I am in school for. So between these as my primary obligations with an occasional audio engineering gig I have plenty of time to give all the love, walks and attention any dog would need. It's mutually beneficial for me and the dogs because I love to be active and they simply give me joy. I have my home accommodated for dogs to live their best life. I have a fenced backyard with a long 30ft long dog run with trees and dirt on the side of my home, then the actual backyard has sun most of the daytime with places for them to lounge and shaded spots to be in the fresh air, there's also grass for them to do business and a small puppy pool for the dogs who like to splash around a bit and play. The inside of my home is big and open with the upstairs and front office already securely blocked with puppy gates installed so they can wander safely and to their hearts content. I have big low to the floor comfy couches the dogs are totally allowed to be on and a special area in my living room that's 10x10 feet that I dedicated as a play pen area with padded floors under and cozy washable potty matts so the dogs feel like they have their own personal space they can get in & out of & go to whenever they want. Mr.Paisley my 20 year old dog loves it. Because he's older now I have learned how to manage special diets and ive also gained a deep instinct to notice things that indicate to me to give extra love and attention, also to handle serious situations calmly and correctly. I have a sliding screen door that I installed a dog door on so the dogs have access to outside all day anytime they want. I go on about 8 walks a day, different lengths & different speeds depending on the dog and I love it. This is a happy, healthy home your dog will love to be apart of.

“Olga was very attentive and caring, especially with last minute needs. She takes instructions well kiba seemed really happy. She also kept me up to date with everything and sent a lot of photos”
“Nicole and Aaron were so beyond amazing in taking care of my dog, Otis for last minute daycare needs! They were very responsive and helpful in ensuring Otis had everything he needed to have a good day. My dog has some separation anxiety and I immediately felt at ease when they welcomed Otis into their home with open arms to make him more comfortable. It was also great to have picture and video updates to see that he was having such a good time with Nicole and her family! Thank you so much!!”

“i could not be happier with greta's care for my pup. not only did i reach out to her last minute, to which she responded so graciously, she was so kind, warm, conscientious, and communicative. i received a steady stream of photos, videos, and updates while i was away, she left notes when necessary, and even made sure to check that i arrived home safely in time for my pet's next walk. i wasn't able to meet greta in advance (my fault, not hers!) but she took my instructions in stride and did such a wonderful job. i will 1000% request her services the next time i travel, and i highly recommend her skills to anyone who needs a caretaker for their pet.”

Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!

About: I’ve been around and cared for all kinds of dogs throughout my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of time to explore and enjoy their surroundings without feeling rushed. I’m very patient and like to get a feel for each dog’s personality and energy level. If they’re excited, playful, and active, I’m happy to match their energy and keep them engaged. If they’re more relaxed or shy, I’m just as happy to give them the space, patience, and comfort they need. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while they’re with me! I’m currently a Physical Therapy student, and pet care will be my part-time job alongside school. I don’t work anywhere else, so I’m able to dedicate my free time to caring for your pets! As a pet lover, I thought this would be a great way to do something I enjoy while also helping support my education. In my PT program I only have one 2-hr class a day so I have plenty of free time around that. I’m happy to use my free time for dog walks, drop-ins, playtime, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care! 🐾 I’m happy to welcome pets into my home! There is a fenced yard for outdoor play time and spacious indoor space as well. I have one dog and one cat of my own, both are very friendly and used to being around other animals. My dog especially loves having a new friend to play with! I also understand that not every pet is as social or outgoing. If your dog is more shy, nervous, or simply prefers their own space, my home has plenty of room to keep pets in separate areas when needed so they can feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home during their stay.
About: Certified dog trainer with a licensed and insured pet care business! I’m also a proud dog mom and genuinely love working with dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I provide personalized care based on what works best for each dog. As a trainer, I can incorporate basic obedience, leash manners, and positive reinforcement into walks and everyday interactions when appropriate. I enjoy helping dogs build confidence, practice good habits, and get the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or training, my goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m a full-time pet care provider, so pet care is my primary focus and I have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and training, and I’m especially happy to accommodate recurring weekly walks and consistent routines. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that is comfortable and consistent for them. For walks and training, I use secure leashes and equipment appropriate for each dog and pay close attention to their surroundings and behavior. For drop-in visits, I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my visit. As a certified dog trainer, I’m experienced in understanding canine body language and creating a positive, calm experience for every dog in my care.
“Pauline responded to my dog walking inquiry and to all messages quickly. She proactively offered to reach out to Rover when my initial care instructions weren’t visible on my dog’s profile. She came on time, walked my dog for a full 30 minutes, gave her some treats, wiped the paws as requested, and locked the door. Her description of the walk was thorough. The only improvement would have been to leave on one of the down stair lights after leaving as requested in the care instructions.”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.
“KK has always done a great job taking care of my french bulldog. She has been accommodating to his needs. I know my dog will be in good hands when I book a dog walk with KK.”
About: I grew up with dogs, have looked after family and friends' dogs for years, and now have a high-energy border collie of my own! I’m looking forward to meeting your pup!

I will treat your dog with the same care I would give my own. If your dog is social, I can bring mine along too - just let me know!
About: I love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’ve gained hands-on experience walking and caring for my friend’s dog during college, and I’ve also spent years caring for my cats at home. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. While I may not have formal training, I’m quick to learn and very attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. FYI-🏡 I would only be comfortable with bringing my boyfriend with me for overnight pet house stays. 20% off your 1st booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/karinb85107 I have a full-time job, and that’s why I especially love going outside after work and on the weekends. A dog or a cat would be a great companion to enjoy fresh air and play. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and care. During walks, I use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and follow each dog’s routine closely. I always do a meet-and-greet first so your pup feels comfortable and you feel confident. My focus is on keeping your dog safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way!
About: I have been a dog lover and dog owner my whole life. I have always had dogs and I currently have a Puggle named Sheldon Cooper. He loves dogs too and we are always at the dog park. I stay at home and love an excuse to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Your dog will be well loved and cared for with me. I love any excuse I can get to get out and enjoy the beautiful fresh air.
“Elena was able to quickly respond to our request to walk our dog and help walk our dog the next day. She provided great communication and professionalism. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I cared for my two Chihuahuas for over 17 years, from when they were babies to their senior years. In 2022, we said goodbye and sent them to Rainbow Bridge. Since then, I have been a dog sitter for my friends, caring for their babies with the same love and dedication, while prioritizing safety and careful supervision at all times. I also completed a Veterinary Assistant program, which helps me better understand senior care and medication support. To ensure a calm and comfortable environment, I only care for one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. I stay home full time and try to minimize alone time as much as possible. I understand that being away from family can feel stressful for some dogs, and I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I stay with dogs overnight so they don't feel alone. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel reassured while you are away. We live in a house with a patio in a quiet neighborhood. I take them for walks around the neighborhood several times a day and always make sure they are wearing secure leashes. Our home environment is calm and structured to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. My husband and two teenage sons also love dogs and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful with them.

“Leaving our 8 month old frenchie with Doug was so helpful. It was comforting to receive some photos and videos while we were away. We would definitely book with Doug again!”
“Wen was wonderful! She's incredibly responsive and caring, and she sent us pictures throughout, which put us completely at ease. Our beagle Mango was comfortable with her from the start. We'll definitely be booking Wen again — highly recommend!”
“Temi was amazing! She took such great care of my goofy guy for 2 weeks. Sent a ton of photos and gave daily updates, just what I needed to put my mind at ease! Ottie can be very stubborn at times, so I truly appreciated all the patience she had with him. I could tell he had a great time! I almost felt guilty taking home home since I'm sure this was a fun vacay for him too. Temi will be my go-to for any future bookings!”
“I recently left my puppy, Cosmo, with Rebecca for a one-day and overnight trial stay—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Incredibly proactive, she not only ensured he was well cared for, but even worked on his leash training while he was with her. What truly set her apart was the level of attentiveness and love she showed Cosmo. He was watched over the entire time, and I received countless pictures and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that he was not just being cared for, but truly loved. If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism, training support, and genuine affection for dogs, I highly recommend her. I'm feeling much more confident about my upcoming longer trip knowing Cosmo will be in such capable and caring hands.”
“Tina and her family are very pleasant to work with! Our dog Kona had an amazing time at their place, to the point where she even ran back to their house during pick up, unwilling to come home. Definitely recommend and will continue to work with her in the future!”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“Olga took care of my 2 pups this weekend. With our initial contact, Olga was interested in understanding their habits and daily routines. From making sure she would properly administer heart medication to my senior dog, to how they go potty (on puppy pads and going outside), I truly felt she wanted to make my pups' stay with her as close to what they were used to at home as possible. She sent photos daily and kept me updated on how they were doing. I don't often leave my pups with anyone, but with Olga I felt they were very well taken care of. Thanks Olga!”
About: I grew up with a dog and learned how to care for and raise him from a young age. He lived a long life and passed away in my arms at 17, which taught me how deeply pets become part of the family. Later, when I became a parent myself, we brought two dogs into our home right away. One of them had a congenital condition, and for 10 years we cared for him very attentively, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. This gave me strong experience not only in daily care, but also in supporting dogs with medical needs. Now our second dog has lost his companion, and I came to Rover to be helpful to other families and their pets. Your dog will not feel lonely — he will have company, care, and a warm, loving environment. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home most of the day. I structure my day around the dogs — regular walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. It’s very important to me to keep a consistent routine and give each dog enough attention, especially during moments when they may miss their owners. We go on daily walks in safe and pleasant areas nearby. There is also a dog park where your dog can play off-leash if you are comfortable with that, as well as many walking trails for longer, relaxed walks. I always adjust the activity level to your dog’s needs and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We live in a bright, spacious apartment where your dog will feel comfortable and safe. I accept one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so each pet can receive plenty of attention and care. My child is 16 years old and has a great understanding of how to interact with animals respectfully and calmly. You can leave all your instructions, preferences, and schedules — I will follow them carefully to make sure your dog feels at home and stays in their usual routine.
“David is a fantastic sitter. While traveling for work he sent plenty of videos and pictures and was very responsive regarding individual requests. Would gladly book with him for future boarding.”
“Twinkle took amazing care of our husky during her 9-night stay! She kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. Twinkle was always quick to respond and clearly attentive to our dog’s needs. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety, but staying with Twinkle turned out to be a perfect fit. Since she works from home, there was always someone there to give our pup constant companionship and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Twinkle to others!”
“I highly recommend allowing Mengmeng & Pengyu Q to care for your dog while you’re away from home. She went above and beyond taking care of my sweet girl Tina while we went away on vacation. I received daily photos and videos and updates on how my girl was doing while I was away. She even took the extra step of grooming her and trimming her nails!! I’m so grateful to them for taking extra special care of Tina and felt super confident and comfortable that she was in excellent hands while I was away! We will definitely be using them again if we go on another vacation in the future!!”
“Emily took great care of Bailey, was attentive to her needs, and kept us updated throughout her stay. Bailey seemed happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We really appreciate the care she gave Bailey and would definitely book with her again!”
“Rohan did a great job at looking after my 2 year old aussie, Beau! Beau gets anxious around people on walks and Rohan did a great job at following my care instructions to make sure that my dog was safe and managed his anxiety well. I’m glad I was able to trust Rohan to create a comfortable environment for my dog!”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Rocky. Joanna was super good with him and rocky was very happy when i picked him up. My one number choice next time i go on vacation.Even short trip. I enjoyed my vacation in Italy knowing my baby was in good hands. Exceptional Care. we love you Joanna and so does Rocky!”
“Katie was AWESOME! My little guy loved her and all of her roommates. She even got him to make a couple doggie friends which was really great. She regularly sent photos and kept me updated on all of his behaviors. I didn’t worry at all during my time away from Archer(my dog). I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Katie really did an amazing job.”
“Connie was amazing with Red! He’s barely been away from us in the 4 years we’ve had him. She was so kind and loving to him, she treated him as if he were her own.”
“Rommel and his family were exceptional sitters to Stormy. He was immediately responsive, sent updated photos throughout the week, and catered to my older dog’s dietary needs. 10/10 recommend”
