“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Hong is very professional. Went super well with my dog and send me pictures and videos everyday. I almost felt like my dog doesn’t want to come back with me when I picked him up. Highly recommended!”
“I am happy we found Xiaokun. Our foster fail puppy who is a 6 month German Shepherd went to him for multiple doggy day care days and one boarding visit. She came back each time happy and tired. I really appreciated how Xiaokun followed our instructions and had great communication, especially when we boarded our pup shortly after her spay surgery. Also loved that on the doggy day care days he took our pup on awesome hikes/walks and sent pics for our peace of mind. Xiaokun has great calm energy and that definitely translated to making my pups stay a great one. Definitely recommend!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Siqin. We started with the meet and greet, she was super friendly and loving with our pup. Our puppy stayed with her for four nights and five full days, she sent us tons of pictures and videos and we could truly see that Whiskey was happy. Whiskey loved playing with her pup choo-choo as well. I cannot see enough great things about Siqin. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Nina and Tony are amazing! They were so good with our sweet Pebbles while we went away for over a week. We can tell Pebbles had a blast, they took care of her like she was their own. They are also just very nice people, great updates and easy going. Pebbles made a couple of new best friends and she will absolutely be going back some time!”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“Melody did a fantastic job with my pup. She kept me updated daily with the routine and pictures. She was kind, patient, and made Ruby feel right at home. Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely rebook with Melody and her mother.”
“Our dog, Ghost, enjoyed staying with Judi! Her updates with photos and videos were so nice to receive while we were out of town. It gave me peace of mind that Ghost was safe and well taken care of. Judi is also mindful of our routine and commands to best give her a relaxed yet structured stay. Thank you for taking care of our girl and the long walks! We’d love to book with Judi again!”
“Shruti and her husband boarded our fur baby for the first time this week. Charli (our fur baby) had an amazing time with them and the other dogs. I received daily updates and pictures from Shruti. Their place is spacious and has a great backyard. Will definitely use them again! Shruti was very professional and prepared us well for Charli’s stay. Thank you Shruti!”
“Tianyu was great at taking care of my dog! She's generally very shy, but adjusted well and had a great time. He was very quick on sending me updates and replying to me. I'll be booking with him for all other times!”
“Sriram & family are the best dog sitters we have hired on Rover. Got daily pictures of our dog with smiles on our dogs face. Our dog Dou Dou was completely relaxed and felt at home with Sriram. Highly recommend this dog sitter.”
“Nancy have excellent communication. She sent us photos during our dog's stay as well as updates. We had some daycare stays prior to our long trip and Nancy was very flexible and helpful in planning these and helping our dog be comfortable away from home. We have a high energy dog and Nancy took him for daily walks to keep up with his routine. We are so thankful that he has a home away from home with Nancy and her family. Highly recommend!”
“Ria had such a good time! Marina and Anwar provided frequent updates/pictures/videos and are super responsive and accommodating. They even made her a home cooked meal that Ria loved! She always had puppies to play with and she made a few new friends. Will definitely be boarding with them again ❤️”
“Lavanya is very good with dogs, and took great care of our dog. She shared multiple updates with photos and videos throughout the stay. She far exceeded our expectations, moving her schedule around to make sure that our dog got enough playtime with her dog. Would certainly go back.”
“Yenju went above and beyond to help me take care of my dog Bailey at the last minute, before the long Memorial Day weekend! She was so accommodating, took extra special care of Bailey, sent so many photos and videos, and a very detailed recaps of his day with #s of walks and potty breaks. I also love that she offers pickup and drop off service too. I would go back to her in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone who needs to leave their precious fur babies in the right care <3”
“Another fantastic stay with Jie who sent plenty of video updates of Comet playing with other dogs, walking, or snuggling up with the family. It was great to know he was in good hands.”
“Sloane had a wonderful boarding experience with Sai and her fur baby. Sloane was well looked after , Sai kept us updated with videos and photos. We definitely recommend Sai as a pet sitter and will not hesitate to use her dog boarding services in future.”
“Had to leave my 6-month fur ball for the evening. On just a few days notice, Margaret asked great questions about my dogs background and made sure we’d all be comfortable. My dog got great care, got some additional training practice, and had a friend- all of which was documented in photos that she shared with me during and after the visit. Thanks so much and we can’t wait to visit again.”

“Myat took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away for a week. Her communication every day was excellent, she gave detailed text and photo updates with each visit and we could see that our cats were being well taken care of. 10/10 would book again!”
“Shqin provides wonderful services with competitive price. My cats love her very much. Her response is fast, usually in minutes. I booked 2 visits and she dropped by for m&g a week ahead to let everything go smooth. Her drop-in visits are very detailed and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend her to every friend!”
“OMGOODNESS… where do I begin!?! Veronica is simply the best! Throughout our multiple decades of being human parents to felines we have had our fair share of dealings with all sorts of different sitters and sitter places. When we decided to try a new route with Rover, we were very nervous with our newest feline family addition. We connected with Veronica, and instantly liked her. After her first booking with our fave fur babe, we fell in-love with her, and so did our kitty boy. Veronica truly goes above and beyond the call of duty. She thinks beyond the box, and makes helpful suggestions for things we don’t even think about. We’ve implemented every one of her ideas. She continues to find new ways to play, entertain, and love on our kitty boy. Each time we come home from travel, our kitty boy is in better shape then when we left. His love language is Play Time, and Veronica showers him with it. His second love language is food. Hahaha! In the past, we’ve come home from travel and would have to work off the excess caloric intake our kitty boy received while away. We were saddened by the over abundance of food he’d been given, but he was still starved for attention. We brushed it off, being happy that he didn’t starve. 😅 We just didn’t know any better... Until Veronica!!! She has increased our standards of expectations for our kitty boy. 🥰❤️🥰”
“Shirley took care of our cat pretty well. Our cat is very shy but she manages to play with and pet him. Shirley pays attention closely and communicates very well during the entire process when she visits our cat. She even helped us to pick up the mails, water the plants and handle the garbage. We will definitely use her service again next time when we are out of town. Thank you very much Shirley so that we can travel without worry!”
“We’ve been booking Ashley for drop-in cat visits for a few years. She’s reliable, efficient, communicates well, and her price is good enough I don’t bother checking for alternative sitters any more.”
“Su did a fantastic job taking care of my cat for over 2 months while I was away traveling. She's been caring and communicative, and helped with errands more than just cat sitting too. Highly recommend!”
“Charlene took care of four furry babies and fed our fish when we were on vacation. Our cats enjoyed staying with her and really loved to play with her. Also, we are living in an old apartment and door is getting a little bit rusty. Charlene didn't complain and spent a long time to open the door. We really appreciate her patience.”
“Paige is absolutely wonderful! We had never used a home-visiting pet sitter before, but Paige has made me wonder why we waited so long. She is diligent, communicative, timely, and responsive — everything you could hope for in a caregiver. Leaving my beloved elderly rabbit in someone else's hands is no small thing, but Paige gave me such peace of mind that I was actually able to relax and enjoy a trip away for the first time in years. From the very start, she came for a meet-and-greet, carefully reviewed our care instructions, and then followed our rabbit's routine to the letter. Every time she came by, she sent regular texts and photos to keep me updated and make sure she had everything right. That level of attention to detail is rare — and for a pet with specific needs, it makes all the difference. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Hong was great and very accommodating with my kitties! She happily provided the kitties with their own room to separate them from her dogs upon our request, since they’ve never been around dogs before. She also regularly sent updates. I would totally leave my kitties in her care again!”
About: Although I have more experience with doggies, I fell in love with a cat that I got to house-sit, who lives with a doggie once. I never knew cats could be so cuddly!

“Hong watched our dog Lylla for a daycare, and Lylla had an amazing time!! Our dog isn't the most trusting with people but she absolutely loved spending time with Hong. I was also sent updates throughout the day which was very much appreciated!! We will most definitely be bringing Lylla back to spend time with Hong 💙”
“Shruti, her husband Gaurav and their dog Toto is an amazing family! I was extremely pleased with how they took care of my dog, Loochie. They gave her quality time, played with her and gave her an extremely comfortable environment to snuggle for hours! Loochie would love to be back with them again!”
“My dog is super picky with sitter but he fell in love with Jie right away! He and Jie’s doggie also gets along very well. I am very glad to find Jie as she is a wonderful and responsible sitter who follows all the instructions I have provided to her for Mocha. I picked up a calm and happy dog at the end of the day!”

About: We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet. There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule. We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.
“Thank you Su! Roxie had such a great time and was happy. Su takes lots of pictures and communicates well with dog owners. Definitely using Su for future dog sitting. Her place was perfect for a dog as well.”
“I feel very lucky to have found and engaged Ram and Jaya for doggie day care. They are nice people with big hearts for dogs: it was clear throughout our interactions that they understood and focused on my senior dog's needs. They took the time to get to know her, and made sure that they could provide a safe and comfortable place for her to stay while I attended an event. Their home is uncluttered with a lovely backyard; plenty of space for doggie movements. Communication was prompt, clear and helpful. I hope to contact them again for future needs.”
“I left my dog, Brazil, with Justin for a one-day daycare stay, and it was a great experience. Justin was very responsive, reliable, and took excellent care of Brazil. Highly recommend!”
“Leo had a fantastic daycare stay with Shital! She loved and cared for him like family, and he came home happy and totally relaxed. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an stress-free pup care experience.”
“My puppy loved daycare with Jaimie and her puppy! She had so much fun. I also really appreciated the pick up and drop off option. It made it much easier for our work schedules. Thank you again and my puppy can’t wait until she gets to go back!”
“Weiran did a wonderful job watching Mango. We felt completely at ease with Mango under her care. Grateful to have met a sitter that is attentive to Mango’s needs. Thank you Weiran!”

About: Hi, I am Hong, you can call me Vicky too. For 18 wonderful years, my life revolved around my sweet Mini Schnauzer. From the playful puppy days to the gentle senior years, I've lovingly navigated every stage. I understand the unique needs of both growing puppies and older dogs—whether it’s extra cuddles, gentle walks, or medication management. I’ve been around dogs for over 20 years—starting in my student days, when I would help friends care for their dogs during the holidays. It’s something I’ve always truly enjoyed. Now, I work from home full-time, which means your pet will rarely be alone! Your furry family member will be treated with kindness, respect, and the same deep devotion I’ve always given.

My work situation is great because I'm home-based and have a lot of flexibility with my time. I have the freedom to provide attention and potty breaks throughout the day. Your pet's safety is my top priority. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed, clean, and hazard-free environment. I am meticulous about following all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and routines to provide a stress-free experience. A Note on Health & Safety (For All Our Well-being): To ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I kindly require that all pets in my care are fully vaccinated and on a proven flea/tick prevention program. As my canine guests are welcome on my furniture and even to snuggle in my bed, this is essential for everyone's comfort and health. My goal is to provide a "home away from home" where your pet feels loved, secure, and happily exhausted.
“Charlene is an awesome dog sitter!!! She attentive and loving. She took the time to meet with Riel and I before dog sitting Riel, and asked a lot of questions to try to understand my dog. Riel loves her. Seeing the pictures of Riel while I was on a trip gives me a peace of mind! Thank you Charlene!”

We had Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Chickens, my sister wanted a goat but my dad said thats too much. Being the youngest it was usually my responsibility to make sure the pets were fed and taken care of.

Currently, I am between jobs, so I am completely free to assist morning or night, weekday or weekend. I am very flexible with my hours at this point so I can stay with your loved pets if needed. I would need to take care of your pets in the client's home as my wife has a pet allergy. I bring a very warm and friendly energy and would want to meet the pet before I start working with them to ensure we are comfortable with each other.

“My dog is a shelter girl we’ve only had a few months, so I never know what she’ll think of strangers but they had no problem becoming best pals! Thanks again for handling my last-minute request for a dog you hadn’t met yet 😅😁 Will book again!”
“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs.

I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.
About: I am a dog mom since 2020 when we got our first dog, a golden doodle and since then I have been around him and his friends. Dogs keep me energetic and lively. I talk to them and treat them like babies. My motherly instincts for dogs are no different from taking care of a human being. Since I got my baby, I have researched and have been enhancing my knowledge to take better care of him each day. Whenever I get an opportunity to stay around any dog, it makes me feel very blissful. I have many dogs in my family and friends groups. I keep my house very clean so they do not eat anything from ground. Even for emergencies, I have made an emergency kit which is ready with Charcoal, ear wipes, tweezer and 3% hydrogen peroxide (to induce vomiting) in case they ingest something. I know how to handle normal doggy issues that could occur and even how to handle an emergency situation. If needed I can go to vet immediately. For info, nearest vet to my place is 1 mile ( Golden paws Vet clinic) and nearest emergency (Beacon Veterinary specialist) is 6.5 miles. Your pets safety will be my TOP priority. I am full time at home and will have dedicated time to spend with dogs. I play with them, do stimulating activities as I do with my dog. Your dog will be no different to my own. I have a fenced yard and a long side yard where I play fetch 2-3 times with my dog. I am very creative with playing activities. I am well versed in case of emergency as I keep myself well informed with the knowledge needed to keep pets safe. Important note : Please make sure your dog is up to date with shots and rabies vaccine. Provide a proof you first bring in your dog for day care or boarding.

We also live across a park so I can take your dog to play there when needed. I don’t host more than 2 dogs from the same family in my house at one time, big or small, to ensure your dogs have enough attention and care - I live with 3 other family members who are very friendly that also help out with care every now and then (playing, walking etc).
“Lauren was great with walking my dog. They made sure he got water breaks, sent updates and pictures after each walk. They were also available to extend the walk to an hour and for a super last minute booking, so I totally appreciate the flexibility. Thank you Lauren!”

“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Hong is very professional. Went super well with my dog and send me pictures and videos everyday. I almost felt like my dog doesn’t want to come back with me when I picked him up. Highly recommended!”
“I am happy we found Xiaokun. Our foster fail puppy who is a 6 month German Shepherd went to him for multiple doggy day care days and one boarding visit. She came back each time happy and tired. I really appreciated how Xiaokun followed our instructions and had great communication, especially when we boarded our pup shortly after her spay surgery. Also loved that on the doggy day care days he took our pup on awesome hikes/walks and sent pics for our peace of mind. Xiaokun has great calm energy and that definitely translated to making my pups stay a great one. Definitely recommend!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Siqin. We started with the meet and greet, she was super friendly and loving with our pup. Our puppy stayed with her for four nights and five full days, she sent us tons of pictures and videos and we could truly see that Whiskey was happy. Whiskey loved playing with her pup choo-choo as well. I cannot see enough great things about Siqin. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Nina and Tony are amazing! They were so good with our sweet Pebbles while we went away for over a week. We can tell Pebbles had a blast, they took care of her like she was their own. They are also just very nice people, great updates and easy going. Pebbles made a couple of new best friends and she will absolutely be going back some time!”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“Our dog, Ghost, enjoyed staying with Judi! Her updates with photos and videos were so nice to receive while we were out of town. It gave me peace of mind that Ghost was safe and well taken care of. Judi is also mindful of our routine and commands to best give her a relaxed yet structured stay. Thank you for taking care of our girl and the long walks! We’d love to book with Judi again!”
“Shruti and her husband boarded our fur baby for the first time this week. Charli (our fur baby) had an amazing time with them and the other dogs. I received daily updates and pictures from Shruti. Their place is spacious and has a great backyard. Will definitely use them again! Shruti was very professional and prepared us well for Charli’s stay. Thank you Shruti!”
“Ria had such a good time! Marina and Anwar provided frequent updates/pictures/videos and are super responsive and accommodating. They even made her a home cooked meal that Ria loved! She always had puppies to play with and she made a few new friends. Will definitely be boarding with them again ❤️”
“Yenju went above and beyond to help me take care of my dog Bailey at the last minute, before the long Memorial Day weekend! She was so accommodating, took extra special care of Bailey, sent so many photos and videos, and a very detailed recaps of his day with #s of walks and potty breaks. I also love that she offers pickup and drop off service too. I would go back to her in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone who needs to leave their precious fur babies in the right care <3”
“Had to leave my 6-month fur ball for the evening. On just a few days notice, Margaret asked great questions about my dogs background and made sure we’d all be comfortable. My dog got great care, got some additional training practice, and had a friend- all of which was documented in photos that she shared with me during and after the visit. Thanks so much and we can’t wait to visit again.”
“Dana was a great sitter and gave me peace of mind during the doggy day care visit! She sent over photo updates regularly. Additionally, she listened intently to my instructions for my two dogs and took great care of them. They came home happy, and tired from a great day at Dana’s. Also a bonus she has a nice grassy yard for my dogs to freely roam in!”
“I can’t say enough, Leo was lucky to spend time with Pratima. She sent me updates about him with pictures every day .she is very kind and have patience which made him feel at home at her place. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I've always been an animal lover however, when I got my own dog 10 years ago I experienced the feeling of unconditional love. I also have a soft spot for special needs pets. I treat all fur babies in my care as if they are my own. It is my dream some day to help rescue and foster dogs of all sizes and breeds. I live in an apartment so I am limited on space but I am able to have a pet stay with me. I can do drop in visits, dog walking and or stay in your home with your pets while you are away. I have great references, please read. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I have my own 40 pound dog who is now 2 years old. So we keep a general routine around taking walks and potty breaks, exercise and play and nap times. I live in an apartment with a patio. I have a medium sized dog and he does just fine. I take him out often for bathroom and exercise and fun. If I am in your home I follow your instructions and keep to your pets routine.
“Xin is an excellent dog sitter—loving, caring, quick to respond, and easygoing! My dog Sona fell in love with her from the very first night. Xin’s genuine love for dogs truly shines through, especially in the thoughtful photos and videos she sends. We were able to enjoy our trip without a single worry, knowing Sona was in such good hands. When we faced some unexpected delays due to traffic, Xin was very understanding and accommodating. On top of that, her spacious front yard gave Sona plenty of room to run and play happily. I highly recommend Xin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you again, Xin!”
“Sara and Raymond are amazing, they took care of Sola and were constantly providing pictures and updates. They made her feel very comfortable and happy, would recommend 200%! Thanks so much!”
“We boarded our German shepherd (Bentley) with Ken for nearly 2 weeks while we were out of the country. We were extremely happy with the way Ken took care of our Bentley. Ken was very professional and extremely caring towards Bentley. He was flexible with the drop-off/pick-up timings. He kept us up to date with pictures and videos almost every day :) I even had to suggest that he didn't need to send pictures & videos that often :) Bentley has made friends with Neo, which is wonderful for us coz Bentley wouldn't easily mingle with other pets. Bentley thoroughly enjoyed his stay at Ken's place! We'll definitely book with Ken in the future! :)”
“I can't thank Nupur and her wonderful family enough for taking such amazing care of Cheeku! They pampered him with love and attention, and it was clear he felt right at home. Highly recommend!”
