“Silvana and her family took great care of Josi while we were away for the week. They have an awesome setup, including a large backyard that I’m sure the dogs love. We really appreciated their attention to detail and how thoughtfully they looked after Josi. We forgot to bring her collar, and they kindly provided a spare one during her stay, you can tell they genuinely care. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds for my entire life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely love building trust with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I pay close attention to routines, personalities, and any special needs so each dog receives personalized, loving care. I have a hybrid work schedule, which allows me to be home part of the week and provide attentive care. I’m available for boarding on Fridays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, walks, and playtime while in my care. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for pets in my home. While I don’t have a yard, I take dogs out for frequent walks and bathroom breaks throughout the day to ensure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation. I closely follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, can crate pets if needed, and prioritize supervision, communication, and your pet’s comfort and safety at all times.
“Hands down the BEST person on rover. She is always on time. ALWAYS communicates via text, photos, videos My dog loves going with her. I’ve used a lot of people on Rover. But she is the only person I trust with my pup. Thank you Ana!!!”
“It was our first time using Rover and first time boarding our pup. My experience from inquiry to picking up our pup with Dana was exceptional. Dana was quick in responding, professional, and kind. Her meet and greet was very specific which I enjoyed and appreciated as it gives you a sense on how she runs her doggy daycare! Her place has a very calm, relaxed yet fun energy, and clean. I was confindent my pup would be well cared for. We received photos through the stay and when we picked up our pup, he was happy and chill. Usually our pup will yelp and wimper from the separation anxiety but to our surprise that did not happen. He was happy, content and fell asleep in my arms whole way home! Thank you Dana! Looking forward to our next visit!”
“Ryan & Abbey are great!! They are very responsive and they keep me updated with videos and pictures through out the day. I also love how flexible in schedule they are. This is my 2nd time booking with them and plan on doing any future bookings with them. They have a spacious backyard and I’ve been lucky they have had other playful dogs that get along with my pup which makes it a great time for my puppy.”
“I would give more than 5 stars if I could! April and her family took EXCEPTIONAL care of my pup, Monkey! She sent many updates, photos and videos while I was away that I never had to wonder how Monkey was doing. Will definitely book again. Thank you!! 🙏🏻 🐒 😁”
“Aaron was such an incredible care giver for my puppy, Bo! He is very experienced, made sure Bo got plenty of playtime and love, and was able to provide him with medicine as well. He kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos so I felt comfortable while I was away. I would definitely have Bo stay with him again, and recommend him to anyone with a dog!”
“Chenaie was amazing with our Bernese Mountain Dog Bliss! She kept us updated over the weekend with photos and videos of him playing and hiking. We were so thankful that she was able to extend his stay, at the last minute, when our flight was delayed. Bliss loved staying with her and we can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Chenaie!”
“Just the most lovely family! They took such good care of my pup while I was away. I highly recommend them! Thanks so much for your patience and kindness with my pup.”
“Helena was an amazing sitter! She was quick to respond, attentive and gave updates multiple times a day! My dog got along with hers and she went as far to let my pup sleep in her bed with her. Would recommend Helena for your next sit!”
“My dog Charlie had an absolute blast here, and will definitely be returning in the future anytime I need someone dependable to leave him with! He stayed for a few days, more than enough to gauge his comfort and enjoyment. It’s hard to find a new dog sitter when you move to a new town, I’m so glad we hit it out of the park on the first try. 😊”
“Ori went above and beyond for a last minute overnight stay for my girl cinnamon. She’s very helpful and informing of what’s going on , my cinnamon had a great time at her house. Walks playtime etc ! You are in great hands. Thanks again, Ori.”
“Jolie was very easy to communicate with, she would update me with photos and videos of our puppy during our trip. I loved that she even had a doggie pool outside! I knew instantly our puppy had such a good time when I went to pick him up and did not wanna come home. We definitely made the right choice thanks Jolie!”
“Patricia was extremely attentive and caring for my dog Toffee as if she was her own. I usually don’t travel because of my senior dog and her needs but Patricia really put all of that to ease. Highly recommend her and would definitely re-book!”
“Winnie had an amazing time with Lydia & Benji! They were incredibly communicative and sent pictures of Winnie throughout her stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Monica was AMAZING! She kept me updated on Ollie the entire time and sent photos. My trip was unexpectedly extended and she made the situation less stressful and had no problem extending Ollies stay. Her apartment was clean and felt like a cozy place to leave my dog. Definitely recommend Monica!”
“Tanya is the best! It was our Cappy’s first time staying with someone other than family and she made us all feel so comfortable. She sent us pictures and videos throughout his stay which put us at ease. Will definitely be using Tanya again ?”
“We can’t thank Jay and Ashton enough for how well they took care of our anxious pup! They kept us updated and were so patient with Bowie getting warmed up to a new environment. Will absolutely be booking again!”
“We feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful, loving family for our Toby. He literally makes himself at home as soon as we get there. We don't worry about him at all because we know he will be taken care of and loved every day.”

“Helen is fantastic! I went away for the weekend, and left my cats for the first time since I got them. I needed to find someone trustworthy, reliable and experienced to stay at my home. I saw Helen’s profile and I reached out. Helen responded right away and we set up a meet and greet. She has this positive energy that my cats could sense immediately. So we booked it. Helen’s communication was consistent and comforting. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend, which allowed me to focus on my time away and not worry about my boys. It was also a great way for her to show me that she was putting in the time and effort to give attention to them, and stimulate them. She not only took care of the cats, but she also had an amazing respect for my home and my things. Helen was always on-time and prepared. When I returned, it was obvious that my boys were sad to see her go. I’m pretty sure they like her more than they like me. ? I recommend Helen to anyone, and everyone! She gets 10 stars from me.”
“Heather was fantastic!! On-time every time, great with my cat who seemed to have a lot of fun with her, and very communicative with potential issues. Won't hesitate to book her again in the future, and I recommend you do the same!”
“This was our second time having Kendyl watch our kitties and she was wonderful . She communicates very well and treats our 3 kitties like they are her own. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”
“Samantha is doing such a great job taking care of my cat Tyler while I’m out of town. I love the thought and attention she puts into her reviews and photos. You can tell she gets along with pets naturally. thanks Sam!”
“Alejandra was great with my cat! She communicated well, handled all of his medications, and sent many photos (where he was happily cuddled in her lap). Will definitely continue to work with Alejandra when I need a sitter.”
“Julia is so sweet and Rocket really loves her! As an over the top dog Mom, I trust Julia 100%. She is professional, polite, responsive and you can see her love for animals. We are so happy to have Julia to come check in on Rocket!”
“Lexy is one of the best pet sitters out there! A trip for me out of the country over 4th of July and no worries about my 2 cats hearing fireworks and getting scared. Lexy took good care of them since when I got home they were lounging around looking pretty content! Lots of love and treats and professional care. I highly recommend Lexy!! Joanne”
“Jen is awesome! Getting to pet one of my boys was a bonus for me, I thought he’d only give her stares. Jen being able to pet him says a lot about her. I will use Jen every time I need someone to check in and feed my babies.”
“Having moved around quite a bit, I’ve had several Rover sitters, and Victoria is by far the best! She’s kind, reliable, and always on time. My cat, who usually hides from new people, warmed up to her right away. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with Victoria!”
“My cat needs especial treatment due to his urinary issue. Leyla did a great job, feeding him on time with the exact instruction I asked her plus the medication. I recommend her to ALL cat's parents!”
“Stephanie watched our cat Leo for a weekend and our experience with her was everything you could hope for! She offered to come by to do a meet and greet and tour our home, which was very kind and helpful to the experience. She followed all of our care instructions and kept our home very tidy. Stephanie is overall very conscientious, professional and communicative!! would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lili was truly a life saver when I needed someone to come check on my cat Maisie urgently. She was there within 2 minutes and was super prompt with feeding her, making sure the balcony door was closed, finding her hiding under the bed. It was an urgent situation and I couldn’t have been happier that Lili was up for the job because she went above and beyond. You MUST book for your pets too, she is an expert and great with animals!”
“Mikayla is an absolute life saver. Not only did she give me peace of mind while I left my boys for the first time ever. She not only made sure they had everything they needed, but went above and beyond every single time. It’s hard to find people that you can trust in both your home and with your fur babies and she does both!”
About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life, including rescues and shy kitties. I grew up with two stray kittens, one I bottle-fed and the other I found as a child. I also cat-sat for neighbors from middle school through high school. In college, I fostered a very shy, formerly stray cat, and with lots of love and patience, he eventually came out of his shell. I ended up adopting him and he now sleeps in my bed, follows me everywhere, and is happy and affectionate. I’m experienced with feeding, play, litter care, and reading cat body language and boundaries, ensuring every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”
“Michelle did a great job with my two energetic kitties. I always appreciate the peace of mind while traveling knowing my cats are in safe hands. Would definitely recommend her for drop in visits!”
“Needed someone to take care of our furry cats for a few days during our road trip. Glad we made the right choice by having Allie care for our babies. Great communication and excellent care, definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Kathryn is wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was punctual but most importantly she was great with Roo and a kind and lovely person! Thank you Kathryn!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and love every minute of it! Whether it’s training playful puppies, looking after senior dogs, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I always make sure they feel happy and comfortable. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule! I have availability on both weekdays and weekends, so I can give your pets the attention and care they need whenever you need me. In my cozy apartment, I create a safe and pet-friendly space alongside my small Yorkie. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and in a clean environment—whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home!
“Genuinely caring and very responsive. My dog acted like she had been with me all day instead of at the sitter’s. So that tells me she was very happy and comfortable at Susan’s. Great yard! Not too big and not too small with grass and comfy shaded areas. Have booked 3x already and planning to book again.”
“Had a great experience with Tanuja! She was able to accommodate a very last minute request right before the holidays and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Her space was nice, clean, and safe for Scout to roam around and play. She took great care of Scout, asking great questions about his habits and sending updates. Thanks again Tanuja!”
“Hannah is so great, our dog had another amazing visit with her and came home happy and relaxed. She is so communicative and trustworthy, would definitely recommend!”
“Julieth and her husband are good owners and trainers - they have their dogs lined up well and behaved; my pup fit right in and seemed to be comfortable with the other dogs getting cared for - it really was a ‘doggy day-care’ in the literal sense which was a cool experience for my pup - would recommend if you’re looking for a group day care type of style. 10/10”
“Emilee was very communicative and took great care of our dog Junie for the day. Junie was very comfortable and settled in almost immediately- she really loved Emilee and we will definitely be coming to Emilee for future doggy day care needs!”
““Abby was an awesome care giver for my boy. She and her precious pup had never met him before, but not only welcomed him to their home, they became best of friends. Abby sent daily photos of images and videos of play, love and family as I was on the other side of the world, missing my pup dearly. She followed all of my directives to the letter and tucked him to sleep at night and woke him up - in his own home. Abby’s a real pro.” - Tom”
“Chan and his wife took such great care of Ellie - she can home happy and tired from a long day of playing. Throughout the day, I received updates and tons of cute pictures that made me feel reassured she was in great hands. We will def be rebooking!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for 25 years. I use to be a zookeeper for 8 years and have worked with exotic animals for over 10. I have basic training skills and am good with large dogs. I am currently working part time and have most days free and evenings as well. Local neighborhood walks or pick ups would be ideal, but not necessary. I currently do not have any other pets. I do have a fenced in back yard and live in a house. Bathroom breaks can happen frequently when boarding.

He always ensures my dog gets a good amount of exercise and fun during their walks, and he’s very communicative, often sending updates and photos, which I greatly appreciate.

About: My sweet female golden, Kona, is patient with other dogs and has helped fosters learn to relax at home. We trained her from a puppy and would love to help care for your dog. We’ve sat for tiny, shaking chihuahuas who have warmed up enough to Kona to even cuddle her. I work from home full time, so I’m available all day for walks. I work on central time and finish at 3, leaving plenty of afternoon time for play in our fenced patio. I can crate one dog as needed, but pets are allowed on furniture in my home if well trained. I walk at least 5 times a day, and have a bell for dogs trained to ring when they need to go outside. I have a lovely fenced patio for dogs to play in or just relax in the sun.
“Jessica was fantastic!! She sent us daily pictures and updates of our dog while we were on vacation.She took our dog on lots of walks and to the park. He had a great time! Highly recommend!”
