“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”
“Cindy was great at giving me daily updates. I needed those. It helped put me at eased because it was such a longer stay for Moji. Moji was very loved in Cindy's care and her kids. I wanted Moji to have a playmate and Cindy has a dog named Suki so that was great. Moji was spoiled with multiple daily walks and cuddles. I would recommend Cindy and would use her again!”
“She did an amazing job with Aloo! He wanted to go back into her house when I picked him up. He made friends with her dog and she ensured that he was safe, happy and comfortable. Thank you so much”
“Zach was great, provided pictures and updates. We also did a quick meet and greet prior to the stay and it made me feel comfortable leaving Bentley with him. I would definitely recommend Zach and would use him again.”
“Thanks to Josh for a wonderful stay! Django looked like he had a great time and seemed right at home with Josh. They say that dogs can sense great humans when they interact with them, and I can tell Josh is definitely a great guy who loves dogs. Highly recommend :)”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Ka Yan did a wonderful job caring for my little one. She sent pictures and video daily. My little pup was very well cared for and happy. Hope to use you again in the future!”
“Anchisa is amazing! She is kind and attentive and took wonderful care of our Frenchie while boarding her. Bella is wary of new people and places, but warmed up very quickly to Anchisa and was happy and comfortable with her in no time, due to Anchisia’s warm, loving, and calm demeanor. We will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
“Ulunma was a dream come true! My dog was happy to temporarily become part of her family. Ulunma was very responsive to communication from me and regularly sent me pictures of my dog. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in great hands. I will surely use her again!”
About: If you haven't sign up Rover yet, here is a $40 credit to try our service for your first $20+ booking with Rover by September 6, 2026 Use this following referral link: https://www.rover.com/sit/weavej23651 Ever since I was young, I have cared for many different kinds of animals and pets, from small ones like turtles and golden fish, to later adopting my first German Shepherd and my first cat. After that, the way I felt about pets completely changed. They were no longer just animals for me to take care of. In my heart, they became companions, and eventually true family members. From a young age, I naturally became interested in learning more about animals, especially cats and dogs. I started researching pet care, behavior, and the knowledge needed to understand them better. I believe every pet is different. As animal's friends, we need to be patient enough to listen, attentive enough to observe, and willing to truly understand their feelings, needs, and personalities. This mindset and these experiences have gradually deepened my passion for the pet industry and led me to step into this field. I’m a full-time caregiver and I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer same-day requests and one-day cancellation for added flexibility. available 24/7 to support your needs. Feel free to message/call me if you have any concern. Communication is the key. I have fenced yard and a friendly dog and two cats to keep your fur buddy company. If you request a private space, I have another individual unit with no pet. I’ll keep you updated on your pet’s activity and share their little vacation through messages, photos, and videos. Whether you’re at work, attending an event, or traveling, you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing at any time. We’ll spend quality time playing, walking, and keeping them engaged, so they stay happy and never bored. If you need any in-home service, we will also make sure everything is handled according to your instructions, preferences, and household rules.
“Joseph was amazing. His home is welcoming and spacious. He has a backyard, which Deno loves an open space to be able to chill and be nosy as he is. I most definitely will be taking Deno back when I go on another trip”
“My dog had a great time at Alisha's house. There were other dogs to play with which he LOVED, and Alisha was great about sending us pictures and updates. Alisha was reliable and yet also easy-going and flexible. Highly recommend!”
“Jakree took such great care of Lisa, and I could tell she loved staying with him. He sent check-ins and photos throughout her stay, which made me feel so much better being away from my baby. Seeing how happy and comfortable she was gave me real peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the care he gave her and would definitely book with him again.”
“First time using Rover and we were very happy! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands, and got updates daily. We were nervous about our dog trying to slip out the front door in a new environment, but Rob's gated entryway put us at ease.”
“Our golden retriever, Lucy, had a wonderful time with Kimberly and her family while we were away. Communication was great and we were relieved to have her in such good hands. We'd definitely book again!”
“Adrienne and Edgar are awesome!! They were super responsive during our initial communications and sent plenty of photos of our Lula to reassure us that she was fitting in well in their home. Highly recommend booking with them!”
“Suzanne took excellent care of my two dogs. She provided daily updates/photos, which was really great and help to keep my mind at ease. She was very easy to communicated with, and I would highly recommend her without reservation.”

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for pets as the owner of a Ragdoll cat. Through daily care, I have developed strong knowledge of feeding, grooming, administering basic care, and recognizing signs of illness or discomfort.
“Lia did an incredible job taking care of my 2 cats. She was great at communicating and providing updates/pictures on how my cats were doing. I felt comfortable leaving them in her care during my short vacation.”
“Tinwa and Jieying were wonderful! They took great care of our cats, sent lots of updates and photos, and our cats clearly loved them. We'd definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Our elderly cat has trust issues and yet Vanessa was able to convince Peaches to greet her, take her meds and to be (relatively) cordial. A HUGE win for us. Thank you for your help!”
“At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!”
“Alisha was SO great. My pet sitter got sick and she was available in such a short period of time. She came over and did an extensive meet and greet with my scardey boy and it was immediately clear how much she loves and cares for animals. Despite my skiddish baby being a no show for most of her visits she confirmed proof of life, eating, and drinking. Even noting the new impressions on the bed and the whiskers in the bowl. Would highly recommend and book again!”

“Natalia took great care of our cats. Even our more cautious and anxious cat, who normally hides from new people, warmed up to her in just a few days. We'd definitely book her again.”
“Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!”
“Jonathan was great. I was on an 8 day deep sea fishing trip and had no way to communicate while out to sea. But when I made it back to civilization I was pleased to receive photos and videos from Jonathan from each day I was gone which set me at ease knowing my kitties were fine and in good hands. I'll definitely be using Jonathan again and would recommend him to anyone needing help with their furry friends.”

“Thank you so much for being able to take in Ozzy and Sansa so last minute. They seem to have had a great time and were really excited when they got to come back for a second day!”
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“This was the first time I brought Charcoal with Rosa, she is kind and at the end of each day it was seen that Charcoal had been comfortable. Rosa answered messages quickly and sent photos of our dog. Of course I would take Charcoal with her again. She also speaks Spanish which was a plus.”
“Lily is a wonderful sitter that loves my dog as if she were her own! I would definitely reach out to Lily if I need care for Nyxie again. You will not regret asking her to care for your beloved pup ❤️ Thanks so much Lily!”
“She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!”
“Anthony was one of the best dogsitters I’ve connected with through Rover. He has been super clear with communication, very flexible/accommodating of Fluffy’s needs and my schedule, and most importantly, took super good care of Fluffy. She’s a high maintenance dog that barks a lot, but I could tell immediately that Anthony is very confident in taking care of all kinds of dogs in all situations.”
“If you're anything like me, the guilt of being away at work all day weighs on me, but knowing that instead, my fur-baby is now getting tons of attention, pets, walks, and love puts my mind at ease. Getting cuddles from Van Joseph and Matthew, the company of their sweet little dogs, and soft blankets to sleep in is priceless! I got so many precious photos which brightened my day! Overjoyed to have found Van Joseph and Matthew to care for my sweet girl Petunia!!”
“Tobie had another wonderful stay with Michelle and Mandar. They have a great set up with a yard to play in and he gets lots of love and cuddles. I really appreciated the photo and video updates that Michelle sent throughout the day. They are a very nice family and they show lots of care and attention to the pups that stay with them. We look forward to a return visit!”
“Terrific! Last minute booking, Brooke was dependable and willing! She was great with my dogs; relaxed, knowledgeable, and kind! Dogs were happy and well cared for, thank you Brooke! I will definitely rebook with Brooke!”
“Alejandra is the best! She took such good care of MoMo and sent me photos & updates throughout the day. This is my 3rd booking with her and my trust in her grows each time - Tysm Alejandra!”
“We’re so happy we found Pamela! From our very first interaction, we had such a good feeling about her. Rex is a sensitive boy with separation anxiety, so we’re always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. But throughout his stay, we felt like he was in really good hands. Pamela sent us photo updates, which we absolutely loved, and it was so reassuring to see Rex having a good time. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciated. When we picked Rex up, he was calm, happy, and not stressed at all. We’ve already booked several more stays with Pamela and are so glad we found someone we feel comfortable leaving Rex with. Highly recommend!! You’ll love her… but please don’t steal all of Rex’s future bookings! Haha 😂”
“Chrystal was very receptive and understanding of the needs for my old husky girl. Actually, she confirmed that my dog was very sweet with people, mainly herself and her family. Crystal was able to work and stay with my dog as I mentioned was desirable as my dog has had separation issues. It looks like my dog was taken very good care of and I appreciate it.”
“Dakota had a wonderful time with Kennia. She was very kind and communicative. In all of the pictures she sent Dakota looked like he was having a blast! 😊 Looking forward to more stays!”
“Asha has been amazing with my pup, Rahi. She communicates super well and genuinely loves dogs. I get pictures and videos through the day and I’m so much at peace leaving my Rahi with her. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“Such an amazing visit. Hudson had a blast and burned so much energy playing with oscar, he barely had the energy to make it home! ? Iryna provided frequent updates with pics throughout the day so we always knew what the little dude was up to. We will definitely be booking again!!”
“Chriz was so great with our senior boy! I was a little worried leaving Elvis since he was recovering from an ulcer but she provided updates and was able to follow his medication schedule. She's very caring and Elvis seemed to warm up to her quickly and was at ease when he normally can be a little anxious in new environments. Thankful to find a sitter like Chriz!”

“Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed. It's clear Jonathan genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing Roman was in good hands. Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive rover!”

“I highly recommend Zen for dog walks. She’s incredibly patient and has a great vibe and energy. I’ll definitely be using her for dog walks in the future. Thank you again for walking Viktoria!”
“Megan was amazing! She was very attentive and thorough with her walks of Gnocchi and was so kind to him! I will book her again the next time Gnocchi needs a walk.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life! I’ve always had a pet and they’ve ranged from chickens to spiders. I started pet sitting when I was 16 and am currently working at a dog daycare/boarding place and am a dog handler that will love and care for your pups no matter age or size! :))<3 Apart from being a student (on break) I’m also working part-time at a dog daycare on the weekends so during the week I’m usually free! When pups are in my care it’s my priority to help them feel safe and comfortable at home no matter how tedious or time consuming it will be!<33
About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care!

We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!

And let me know of any problem behaviors so I can best understand your dog's needs and how to approach it.

I am home every day and can pay attention to your pet for as long as you need. And also need to earn some extra cash to help with everyday living. I have a beautiful 9 year old daughter. So the extra cash really helps out. THANK YOU! My availability is very much open to fit to your schedule, I'm currently not working so I can tend to your pets needs as much as they want. I don't leave any pets unattended when let outside. I usually will hang out in the backyard with them. And I will always make sure that they are comfortable and everything is taken care of anytime before I leave.

“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”
“Cindy was great at giving me daily updates. I needed those. It helped put me at eased because it was such a longer stay for Moji. Moji was very loved in Cindy's care and her kids. I wanted Moji to have a playmate and Cindy has a dog named Suki so that was great. Moji was spoiled with multiple daily walks and cuddles. I would recommend Cindy and would use her again!”
“Thank you so much! Sameer was able to board my dog at the very last minute as the last sitter stopped responding and bailed on me the night before our scheduled date. I appreciated the updates, pictures and overall communication that Sameer provided to me each day and it really helped me be at ease given the last minute scheduling. Flo stayed for 3 nights and 4 days. Thanks again!”
“Thanks to Josh for a wonderful stay! Django looked like he had a great time and seemed right at home with Josh. They say that dogs can sense great humans when they interact with them, and I can tell Josh is definitely a great guy who loves dogs. Highly recommend :)”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Ulunma was a dream come true! My dog was happy to temporarily become part of her family. Ulunma was very responsive to communication from me and regularly sent me pictures of my dog. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in great hands. I will surely use her again!”
About: If you haven't sign up Rover yet, here is a $40 credit to try our service for your first $20+ booking with Rover by September 6, 2026 Use this following referral link: https://www.rover.com/sit/weavej23651 Ever since I was young, I have cared for many different kinds of animals and pets, from small ones like turtles and golden fish, to later adopting my first German Shepherd and my first cat. After that, the way I felt about pets completely changed. They were no longer just animals for me to take care of. In my heart, they became companions, and eventually true family members. From a young age, I naturally became interested in learning more about animals, especially cats and dogs. I started researching pet care, behavior, and the knowledge needed to understand them better. I believe every pet is different. As animal's friends, we need to be patient enough to listen, attentive enough to observe, and willing to truly understand their feelings, needs, and personalities. This mindset and these experiences have gradually deepened my passion for the pet industry and led me to step into this field. I’m a full-time caregiver and I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer same-day requests and one-day cancellation for added flexibility. available 24/7 to support your needs. Feel free to message/call me if you have any concern. Communication is the key. I have fenced yard and a friendly dog and two cats to keep your fur buddy company. If you request a private space, I have another individual unit with no pet. I’ll keep you updated on your pet’s activity and share their little vacation through messages, photos, and videos. Whether you’re at work, attending an event, or traveling, you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing at any time. We’ll spend quality time playing, walking, and keeping them engaged, so they stay happy and never bored. If you need any in-home service, we will also make sure everything is handled according to your instructions, preferences, and household rules.
“Joseph was amazing. His home is welcoming and spacious. He has a backyard, which Deno loves an open space to be able to chill and be nosy as he is. I most definitely will be taking Deno back when I go on another trip”
“My dog had a great time at Alisha's house. There were other dogs to play with which he LOVED, and Alisha was great about sending us pictures and updates. Alisha was reliable and yet also easy-going and flexible. Highly recommend!”
“Jakree took such great care of Lisa, and I could tell she loved staying with him. He sent check-ins and photos throughout her stay, which made me feel so much better being away from my baby. Seeing how happy and comfortable she was gave me real peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the care he gave her and would definitely book with him again.”
“First time using Rover and we were very happy! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands, and got updates daily. We were nervous about our dog trying to slip out the front door in a new environment, but Rob's gated entryway put us at ease.”
“Our golden retriever, Lucy, had a wonderful time with Kimberly and her family while we were away. Communication was great and we were relieved to have her in such good hands. We'd definitely book again!”
“Robyn and her family were wonderful care takers for Bisky while we were out of town. We had to stay longer than expected and Robyn purchased extra food and was happy to extend the stay. Her home and back yard were paradise for the little guy. She sent photos frequently which were appreciated! Marta Hall”
“Ben and his family took the best care of Bruce. Their home was warm and welcoming and Bruce got so much love. Bruce had an infection that they spotted and were very communicative with us. They managed to bring Bruce to the vet so he could get the right medication/treatment. We were really grateful to be informed and really trust Ben and his family who took such excellent care of Bruce.”
“Our dog came back very happy from Iryna's stay. She has a dog of similar size to ours so I think that also helped provide great company for our dog when we were away. Plenty of space inside and out for them to be themselves. Thank you!”
“Olivia and Drew are awesome!! they are very responsive and send regular updates. a plus too is that they have a fenced yard and have a senior dog of their own. I would not hesitate to book their services again next time!”
“Brenda was amazing watching our 4 small dogs for a four day trip. We were particularly glad to find her since we only had short notice. She sent great photo updates throughout their stay so we always knew how they were doing, and it was clear they were happy and comfortable with her. She even won over our grumpy one, who usually has little time for anyone that is not mama! It made our trip much better knowing that our dogs were in good hands. We (and our dogs) highly recommend Brenda for anyone needing a reliable, caring sitter. The next time we go away we'll definitely call Brenda.”
“Nova loves staying with Ruthy! When they first met, Nova was hesitant to hop in the car with her. Now she jumps right in, ready to spend the day together and hang out with her new friends. I'm sure she is already looking forward to her next visit. :)”
“Jessie and Cade were an absolute thrill to work with from beginning to end. From booking, to a meet and greet, to the pictures and videos we received during our dogs stay, Jessie made me feel extremely comfortable that our pup was in very capable and caring hands.”
