“Ellie (14 years old) and Chloe (13 years old), who are chihuahuas, had such an amazing stay and their happiness showed in all of the update photos during their 19 night stay. They were able to play with dogs of all sizes and ages, making so many new friends. Maddison and Moses gave frequent updates about how the girls were doing, what activities they were up to, and were very accommodating to the girls’ needs. I am very pleased with how happy and confident Ellie and Chloe remained during their stay. Rest assured this is an amazing boarding service, who treat our furry loved ones as their own. Ellie and Chloe will definitely be going back for future stays!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“Ben was a super great host! 10 out of 10 would recommend, he was kind, communicative, flexible, and my doggie had a great stay. He asked if I had any specific requests, provided lots of cute pics for me throughout the day and evening with updates, my doggo got to play with all the others, and was taken good care of making the experience a breeze. Can’t thank you enough for everything!!”
“Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!”
“Cerita and her family were great with Bam Bam! She obviously enjoyed her stay, photos proving she was having a blast! We appreciate the attention and care they gave her!”
“Eden was absolutely amazing! My puppy felt extremely at home with her and her dogs. She was so happy to have playmates and get the attention she needed. I loved the updates I would receive. They were extremely reassuring and it truly made me happy knowing she was in very good hands. Would 100% book with Eden again. For anyone thinking about it, do it! She will treat your dog like her own! 🥰”
“Very caring and kind sitters, my dog was clearly well taken care of when I picked her up. Sent multiple videos and images daily of my dog, who got along well with both of theirs. Will be going back next time I need a sitter 👍”
“Jeffrey was kind to me and my doggies. He sent videos and pictures and my doggies seemed very comfortable and calm and happy. We had to last minute extend an extra night and he was so accommodating. I wasn’t worried about my dogs at all while we went away. Very stress free. They had friends to play with plenty of exercise because they got to run free outside in the yard. Highly recommend and will be booking again with Jeffrey if we need to go out of town.”
“I would highly recommend Gwendolyn and her family. Coco has stayed with them a couple of times and we could not have been happier. Gwendolyn kept us regularly updated on how Coco was and what they were getting up to. Coco came home a very happy dog!”
“Mark and Christina were absolutely wonderful! They took amazing care of my dogs and went above and beyond when my flight got delayed. They were kind, understanding, and incredibly accommodating — I never once worried about my pups while they were with them. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I couldn’t recommend them more — truly the kind of people you hope to find when you need someone trustworthy and compassionate to watch your pets.”
“this was my first time using Rover since we needed a dog sitter last minute. we’re so lucky to have found pilar. our 5yo mini schnauzer is a punk with new people but she gave him the space he needed until he warmed up. she was great with daily pics and updates for his 3 night stay. will definitely bring him back when we need a sitter!”
“Vanessa took excellent care of my puppy, sending me photos and messages with updates on what he was doing. She let me know if he was eating or ready to sleep, which I really appreciated. I felt confident that my dog was in a comfortable environment and in good hands.”
“Whitney is kind with great communication. It seems she took very good care of my girls and that makes me happy. I searched for the perfect sitter for months before booking Whitney and I’m happy to say I’ll continue to hire her. Thank you!”

“Maureen is beyond helpful, kind and knowledgeable when it came to taking care of my cat Kolo. I received very detailed updates on how he was doing and many useful pieces of information to better take care and make him more comfortable. Maureen really went out of her way to make Kolo feel comfortable, and even brought him toys, treats and a gift that I will cherish for a long time. I will be using her services again and feel very blessed to have had her take care of my cat. Would highly recommend to anyone!!”
“Kaitlyn - you were awesome with my cat! Great communication. Followed instructions perfectly and my cat loved having her here! Kept my place safe & locked up as she was coming and going. First time using the app & it was so easy. I felt safe leaving my baby in Kaitlyn’s care & I will absolutely rebook her for my next trip!”
“Jordan was amazing! Our cat was clearly very well attended to, and it showed. Never before have we gone on a trip and NOT been violently accosted upon entering our home. Ginger is usually not satisfied until she has drawn my blood, and she is instead purring and headbutting me lovingly. Only affection from this fuzzy demon, which means she was well looked after.”
“Sahba took wonderful care of our cats and was very reliable and professional. She followed all our instructions, spent time playing with them, and clearly showed genuine love for our cats. She always sent lots of photos, videos, and detailed updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also paid close attention to details, like making sure the door was locked every time. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Ashley is AWESOME. We’ve trusted her with our kitties a few times. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin shots - Ashley is so knowledgeable, and we feel so comfortable leaving our kitties in her care. We’re so fortunate to have her support.”
“Loren was awesome. She was reliable and trustworthy and you can tell she takes pride in her work. As a first timer on Rover she really put me at ease and we'll definitely contact her again for future drop ins to care for our two "Kitten Bros", Oreo and Hershey!!”
“Martha took the time to get to know our cats. They don't take to strangers easily but were comfortable enough to play with and get brushed by Martha. She was prompt, responsible, and provided lots of photos. We had no worries while we were away.”
“Highly Recommend! We have been having Shelby and Dalton look after our indoor/outdoor cats (Shag and Tiki) for a couple of years now and have always been so pleased with their level of care.”
“Annalisa was great with my sweet Little Kitty! I was able to book on short notice and Annalisa offered to meet beforehand which I thought was nice (especially since I didn’t have to bring it up!) When we met she was very thorough with what was needed and ran everything back to me so I knew she understood (again, she did this all on her own). My Kitty is normally very shy when others watch her but she was super comfortable with Annalisa. I will definitely be using her again for my cat sitting needs!”
About: I grew up with a cat my entire life who gave me honest insight into all the shades of cat behavior, and taught me how to respect and love cats the way they need. My roommates have also had cats for the last 3 years, so I have current experience in caring for cats and understand the ins and outs of feeding times, litter boxes, treats, etc. One of the cats had a habit of putting me to sleep from purring on me every time I sat on the couch. I have approximately 6 months of live-in cat sitting experience and am diligent about hygiene and proper attention. As stated in the headline, I’m a professional slow-blinker, as birds also communicate calm/peace + affection through slow blinking—so between my two birds and cats, I’m definitely an expert.
“We had a great experience with Kayla! She took very good care of Elka. She always checked in with cute pictures and made us feel comfortable being away from her. I was over all please with my experience and would recommend her to anyone! We would book again with Kayla!”
“Bobbie is exceptional! She was able to comfort my two very shy cats while we were away. They get depressed and anxious whenever we take a trip. Bobbie sent photos and videos through out her visit. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.
“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”
“Ben and Luke were great with Penny and she had such a great time with them! She had a blast playing with their 4 other fur babies. We'll definitely be a returning client. Thank you Ben and Luke for taking such great care of our baby.”
“Berenice was fantastic. Everytime we picked Obi up he was happy, clean and wagging his tail. She kept us up to date and did many fun things to keep Obi active. Definitely will use her again if we come to visit in the future.”

“Jennifer (and her husband, Chris) were such wonderful caretakers to our dog, Odi! She was so receptive to texts and sent multiple pictures throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing. I honestly think he was a little bummed to come home after all the fun he had exploring, walking and playing with their sweet dog, Harper. I'm very grateful to have found them and Odi will be thrilled with another visit someday.”

“As a mom of a toy senior fur baby who’s almost 17, it’s always worrisome when she’s not in my care with her growing list of health issues and how fragile she is. But luckily I found Eden who is amazing and has the kindest, most loving energy! Her love for dogs is apparent and shows in how she cares for both her own and mine. ❤️ She carefully asked all the appropriate questions, gave me a tour of her place (along with a separate living area perfect for small dogs; connected to a dog door and outdoor dog run) and updated me throughout the stay with pictures and quickly answered any questions I had. Thanks again Eden, you’re a lifesaver and I look forward to future bookings with you! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻”

“Ellie (14 years old) and Chloe (13 years old), who are chihuahuas, had such an amazing stay and their happiness showed in all of the update photos during their 19 night stay. They were able to play with dogs of all sizes and ages, making so many new friends.

Can’t thank you enough for everything!!”
“Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!”
“Cerita and her family were great with Bam Bam! She obviously enjoyed her stay, photos proving she was having a blast! We appreciate the attention and care they gave her!”

“Jeffrey was kind to me and my doggies. He sent videos and pictures and my doggies seemed very comfortable and calm and happy. We had to last minute extend an extra night and he was so accommodating. I wasn’t worried about my dogs at all while we went away. Very stress free. They had friends to play with plenty of exercise because they got to run free outside in the yard. Highly recommend and will be booking again with Jeffrey if we need to go out of town.”
“Mark and Christina were absolutely wonderful! They took amazing care of my dogs and went above and beyond when my flight got delayed. They were kind, understanding, and incredibly accommodating — I never once worried about my pups while they were with them. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I couldn’t recommend them more — truly the kind of people you hope to find when you need someone trustworthy and compassionate to watch your pets.”
“Savanah takes great care of Bailey! And she sends daily updates with photos, which keeps me from missing my little guy so much. I know I can trust her completely to take good care of Bailey!”
“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
“This was our first time using Adriana and Cameron and I could not be more pleased. I only communicated with Cameron and he was super responsive and friendly. He sent me updates often and made us feel at ease while we were out of town. Totally recommended.”
“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“Whitney provided a great home away from home for my dog. She was easy to communicate and coordinate with. Although normally anxious, my dog was happy and comfortable in her home and care. We will be using Whitney’s services again.”
“Charlie was great! He communicated throughout the entire time my pup Monty was with him. I felt very comfortable leaving Monty in his care. I will definitely be reaching out to him again…”
“Erica did an amazing job watching our two pups while we went on our honeymoon. One of our dogs is a grumpy old fellow, and she was great with handling his tantrums. She was also wonderful about getting us daily updates and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Charles was awesome! He took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is anxious with new people, but he definitely knows what he’s doing and quickly earned her (and my) trust. He was very easy to work with and my dogs had a great time. I will definitely come back to him next time! Highly recommend!”
