We got plenty of videos, photos and text updates and it was clear that Willow was thriving while we were away. I definitely recommend Evegeniia to take care of your dog.”
“We are new to rover.com and feel very fortunate to have found Jennifer. She has many years of experience and we felt confident that she knows how to handle any situation. A great communicator, we really appreciated the regular updates. She, her family, her pups and her pup guests were great company for our dog. When we picked him up, he was so calm and relaxed, we knew he was very happy with his stay with Jennifer and her family. We look forward to booking with her again!”

She communicated well, was friendly and her dog got along really well with ours. I received updates throughout his stay. She took great care of my dog and I wasn’t worried at all. Highly recommend!!”
“Sophia has watched my dog several times and I wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone else. My dog is always so comfortable and well cared for in her home. She consistently follows all instructions regarding his diet and routine, and provides daily updates and videos, which gives me peace of mind. My dog loves Sophia so much that during pickup he repeatedly returned to her home. She is like his second family. I know he feels safe, secure, and genuinely cared for by her. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Sophia. She is also very thoughtful, surprising us with small gifts, which speaks to the kind of person she is. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and compassionate sitter.”
About: Experienced dog owner and sitter. Studied dog psychology to become a good dog parent. Had two female spaniels who passed earlier this year. We used to compete in dog frisbee and hunt. Also have experience working in a grooming salon, as well as walking and boarding various size dogs - from labs and German shepherds to Jack Russel terriers and mini Aussies. Additionally at no cost I can provide basic behavioural training and teach new tricks - I love to communicate with dogs of any breed and move in one rhythm with them. And I really feel their needs and able to connect with dogs of all ages. I can board puppies and older dogs, take them for a walk someplace new and play ball or frisbee. But safety and well-being is my main focus and if your dog doesn't want too much activity, I can provide a more mellow experience, too. Available on weekdays and weekends but please make appointments at least 2 days in advance. I would love to meet your furry friend! I'm working remotely from home part-time, so have lots of time to spend with doggies. I'm available both weekends and weekdays and rarely leave home for more than a couple hours, so your dog won't be alone for too long. I have a fenced backyard and deck, and two mellow spaniels to keep your doggo company. I also have a crate where your pet can rest if needed.
“Brian, took very good care with my dog Vera. Ask questions about Vera likes and dislikes during dog walks. They treated Vera as a member of their family. I would recommend Brian for dog sitting, knowing that Vera is being taking care of with love.”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“Mochi had a great weekend stay. She was well entertained by the family and got along well with their dog Eberly. Home with enclosed yard is spacious and safe. We will definitely board again.”
“Great experience! Lourdes is very responsive and attentive to your dog’s needs! We got lots of pictures and updates throughout our dogs stay and even got a toy ? to take home with us! Will definitely be coming back! Lourdes lives in very quiet private community with lots of areas to walk dogs and enjoy nature!”

“Jenni was just wonderful and did a great job taking care of our kitties for 5 days. She made 2 very nervous cat parents feel ok about taking a trip knowing that they were in good hands 🙌🏻 😊”
“Kendra, our sitter, was maximally sweet! The setting was a bit rough. Our kitty lived upstairs in a private room without furniture but well heated. So make sure you bring bedding your kitty will be comfortable with. Also, the household has a large friendly dog that likes to bark at strangers. Our kitty wouldn't be comfortable hanging around with him. But if your cat likes dawgs, this is the place for them! Doggie lives downstairs; kitty was upstairs. Never the twain would meet! Overall, definitely recommended. The pricing is affordable, the setting comfortable, and we know the sitter gave our kitty all the attention she wanted.”
“Luna took great care of our two cats while we were away for the holiday, and was incredibly thorough! We were able to relax without worrying about them during the few stormy days. We really appreciate everything!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, and I'm a recent cat mom of a little under a year. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, too. I'm currently working full-time at a school, but I'm available every weekday after 4 pm and all day on the weekends to stay the night :) I will respect your space and leave it as I found it.

“Christa takes good care of my kitties. I can relax knowing she is hanging out with them. The pictures show me how comfortable they are with her. They are less anxious when she cares for them.”
“I was leaving town for a week and needed a cat-sitter for my kinda shy cat. My cat had previously gone 3 days without touching her food while I was away, so I was concerned about leaving for such an extended period for the first time. Lara is totally cool and professional, and was flexible around the dates to come over and the distance. She was able to get my cat to come out of hiding and played with her (sending me a funny photo in the process) -- I'm sure this helped with my cat's appetite! I could totally relax while I was away from home for the first time as a pet owner.”
About: I raised by dog from one month old and trained him his whole life! I grew up around dogs my whole life and love them. Animals mean so much to me and I love caring for them. I work two days a week on Wednesday 12-4 and Thursday 2-4:30. I also have school five days a week. Monday 8-2, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 8-12 and Thursday 8-12. I care for pets in making sure they have space for themselves but are also reaching the love and attention they need to be happy and healthy. I will watch pets in your home!
“Lupita is wonderful! She took great care of our cat (Jesse) and our home while we were out of town for 5 days for a wedding. This was our first time leaving Jesse with a sitter so we wanted to make sure things went well. Lupita did a great job and was very responsive, sending updates and photos regularly. We had also requested she walk Jesse (he actually will go on cat walks around the neighborhood!) which can sometimes be a bit tricky. She was able to get him out on walks, often twice a day, and he seemed really happy and cuddly with her. She also left our home spotless, which is really important to us with someone staying in our house. We highly recommend Lupita and hope to have her cat sit for us again!”
“My dog felt very comfortable around Adam, who was really accommodating in coming on short-notice and doing a quick play session to introduce himself to Champ. Adam was also very understanding about giving me updates on my dog throughout his visit. This was the first time my dog was left with someone else in months, and am glad it was with someone I felt I could trust!”
“Willow did a great job! Every visit she was prompt and sent a very detailed card every time so I knew my kitty was in a good hands! I will definitely rebook Willow for her services whenever I need her again!”
“Stacey & Avihay did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats! We were so pleased with their prompt communication, kind care for our pets, and photo updates. Our very shy cat quickly warmed up to them which we were delighted to hear. Excellent pet sitters - we look forward to booking them again in the future!”
“Carmen is kind, courteous, and respectful and she communicates very well; best of all she works well with our two spoiled cats. She Spoils them! We hope to use her again soon. thanks!”
About: Hi, I'm Jenn! Having six years of experience as a vet tech, six years of experience caring for pets professionally, and caring for my personal furry companions animals for over 6o years, I bring an exceptional blend of experience, care, and responsibility to my pet care. I have a huge heart for cats and dogs and love to see them happy in their environment. My sensitive nature allows me to be highly attuned to animals and their needs. Others have often commented on my ability to anticipate the needs of people and animals before they are aware of them. I believe in the health and wellbeing of all living things. When your animal is under my care, you can be assured they are receiving the nurturing and care they deserve. I am available for walking, visits, boarding, and more. Please inquire for your particular needs and desires for your pet in your absence. I would be happy to keep your pet loved and safe while you are away. Injections, special needs, training/rehabilitation I am in a very open and expansive time currently in life. I am widely available round the clock for your pets needs. I am available daytime, evenings, and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard on the property I live on in the country, so when boarding with me, dogs will be on leash when outdoors. They will enjoy the many walks they will have around here. When at your home, I take care of your fur baby and belongs with the utmost respect and safety.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little and have loved every minute of it! Walking, feeding, bathing, giving medications, and providing additional support for solidifying training have all been things friends and family have depended on me doing for their fur babies when they want me to pet sit for them. Most importantly, however, is making sure their dogs are having a great time being played with and loved on while their humans are doing their own thing. I’m currently a full time student with only one class being in-person, so I’m home most of the time and am able to take care of and play with your pups! I can board reliably on both weekdays and weekends excluding Thursdays. My home does not have a fenced in yard, so when I take your pups out for a walk I’ll be going around the neighborhood and to the park. I allow pets on the furniture and the bed, but if you don’t at your home then I will make sure to discourage them from hopping up on the furniture here as well.
“Morgan went above and beyond with our cat. She gave thorough updates and sent several pictures each visit. She did everything we asked of her and more! I'm very thankful to have found Morgan for watching our cat! We'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Heather was amazing. She was able to care for our difficult older cat like a pro. Our cat required two medications twice a day, including an injection, and our cat doesn't do well with stranger but she did great with Heather. Heather let us know everytime when she completed the shot which really put our minds at ease. We ended up book her again for two more trips these coming months.”

“Bianca was so great with Olive! Her communication and care for her was fantastic. She understood olives quirks and put our tips and commands to work. I had a last minute meeting come up and she extended the sit without issue. So happy to have found and met Bianca!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for 30 years. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. My own dogs have graduated top of their class in puppy training school. I currently work from home, so I can arrange my schedule to make sure dogs in my care get all the love, affection, and attention they need and deserve. I have a small fenced in yard, good for small and medium dogs. My dog is friendly and even shares some toys. I can crate your dog if preferred. I am also within walking distance to a dog park, and an easy drive to dog beaches
“I am over the moon about Daisy's full-day stay with Shannon and her family! I knew that Daisy had a great day because she fell fast asleep on the way home, and while she was happy to see me at pick-up, I could also tell she really liked her hosts. She went back and forth greeting me and going back to Shannon or her husband to get her head scratched; there was big tail wagging going on there! Shannon is certainly knowledgeable and experienced in caring for dogs, responsible, kept my pup safe, and supported Daisy's quirks and needs. She and her family followed my requests and instructions perfectly. Shannon sent pictures, which my husband and I so appreciated, and was responsive and clear in all her communications. She was flexible when I requested a time change for drop off and was fine when I wanted to come a bit earlier than scheduled for pick up. Daisy will be very excited, and I will be very happy & confident leaving her again with Shannon ~ I highly recommend her to care for your pet! You get her and her wonderful family!”
“Nancy and her family were simply amazing with Toby! She sent pictures regularly and I could see from Toby’s smile how much fun he was having. I felt very comfortable leaving Toby in her care and highly recommend her. Thank you so much Nancy.”

About: I've had dogs most of my adult life and currently have a little Shichon named Ruby. We have a smoke free home with a fenced yard and doggie door. We take our pup out for daily walks. I'm home full time unless I'm working in Canada in the healthcare field and so would need to work around that. I usually work 2-3 weeks every 2 months. We have a fenced yard and lots of trails around for nice long walks. We also go to the beach at least twice a week.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have owned and cared for two dogs, including one who lived to the remarkable age of 22. My current dog is 15 years old and still acts like a puppy, giving me valuable experience caring for both senior dogs and energetic companions. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since I was around 13 or 14 years old. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their regular routines while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are in good hands. I am currently a part time surf instructor. My schedule varies week to week depending on how many lessons are booked. That means I will have lots of time to hang out and take care of your dogs! I live in a nice neighborhood with a spacious backyard that is fenced in with a mix of astroturf and small rocks. I also have a shed in the back where the dogs can hang out when it is either raining or when it is super hot outside. It is a perfect hangout spot for your dogs to enjoy!

He's the best rover I've met. I go travel a lot. I will definitely come back if I travel.”

Will definitely be coming back! Lourdes lives in very quiet private community with lots of areas to walk dogs and enjoy nature!”
“Lanie and her family took great care of Bentley! She was great at keeping us updated with texts and photos, and running things by us as questions arose. We would definitely recommend Lanie!”
“Jesse was great with Buddy, very kind and easygoing, so I knew he’d be in good hands. I really looked forward to the pictures and video Jesse sent. Buddy was very happy and healthy (and really clean and soft!) when I picked him up - he’d love to stay again!”
“Our pup jeeva had a wonderful time. He spent 4 days with Juliana and she sent us regular updates with pictures and videos. He got lot of walks and plays. He enjoyed his stay. Thank you Juliana”
“This was my dog’s first night away from home! Shannon and Chris made sure it was a positive experience for both pup and parents! We were extremely happy with the care provided and will definitely be booking again.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for 30 years. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. My own dogs have graduated top of their class in puppy training school. I currently work from home, so I can arrange my schedule to make sure dogs in my care get all the love, affection, and attention they need and deserve. I have a small fenced in yard, good for small and medium dogs. My dog is friendly and even shares some toys. I can crate your dog if preferred. I am also within walking distance to a dog park, and an easy drive to dog beaches
“Tina was great with our anxious Weimaraner and super patient. Her fenced in yard with long lines was great for Willow to play and get comfortable for her stay and we will definitely be back for future boarding.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Carole & Terry! From the start, they were communicative, professional, and incredibly warm. Olive felt comfortable right away and quickly made herself at home. Carole and Terry went above and beyond to make sure Olive was happy and comfortable, and we received regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. In all the photos, Olive was either smiling, curled up with Carole on the couch, totally relaxed on her back, or trotting through puddles on rainy-day walks. Carole and Terry's home is beautiful and set up perfectly for keeping your pet safe and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and loving sitters!”
“We are so grateful for Nadia! She took care of our 2 pups for 8 days and was absolutely wonderful. From the start, she was so pleasant, attentive, and clearly loved our dogs as if they were her own. She went above and beyond—sending us consistent updates, photos, and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups got lots of love and extra attention, and honestly, they still miss her! It’s rare to find someone so dependable and caring, and we couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a dog sitter who truly connects with pets. Thank you, Nadia!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the beginning, it was clear how caring, responsible, and genuinely passionate they are about animals. Our Powder was not only well taken care of, but truly loved while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. Powder was happy, and clearly in love with Garrett when we returned — the best sign of excellent care. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with both your pet. We would recommend this pet sitter without hesitation to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and professional care. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Diane was so quick and responsive to my boarding request! Her home is beautifully tucked away in nature, which gave my dog a much needed break from all the holiday fireworks. She was very professional and communicative - sent regular updates with photos included. I know my dog got regular walks and playtime in during the stay. Diane showed great kindness and care, and I really trusted that my dog was in good hands with her. Thank you Diane!!”
