“Martha was the BEST! She kept me updated everyday about Duke. She also asked me all the right questions to ensure that Duke would be good during his stay as well as comfortable. I will definitely be bringing Duke back! You will not be disappointed! Book with Martha.”
“As a first time pet owner, sending Dubu to a boarding service was very nervous at best. My wife found Miya based on others recommendations and they are absolutely correct. From the initial meeting to introduce herself to Dubu and me to series of communications to prepare me for dropping Dubu off at her place made it easy and set up an expectation of what to expect. I could feel that Miya was very dedicated to the wellbeing of the dogs in her care. Taking Dubu out to walk 4 times in an one day stay just because Dubu wouldn’t go potty shows this. In addition to this, I’ve learned quite a bit more of what is like to raise a puppy from her experience. Experience was so great, I’ve booked next service with Miya already!”
“This was my first time using Kazue and I couldn’t be happier .. she took such great care of my Mitzi! Kazue kept me updated with messages and pictures so I could see how my girl was doing. Will definitely use Kazue again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind and attentive pet sitter!”
“Achara took care of our special needs terrier with no problem. It was great that she could stay home with him to reduce his separation anxiety. She was also east to communicate with. We are very grateful for her help.”
“We were very pleased and thankful for the care provided to Bentley while we traveled. We stayed in communication and the updated pictures gave me peace of mind. When we returned Bentley was so excited but it was clear that he was in good care. Will definitely book again.”
“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”
“Chelsi is fantastic! Left our girl Donna with her and they had a blast together! She followed all our instructions and sent great updates and photos! We will definitely be booking with Chelsi again the next time we go out of town!”
“Grisel was great! We got pics of every mea/walk/ play time and our dog seemed to love every minute of it! We’ll definitely be booking with Grisel again. Thank you!!”
“Our experience with Erin has been wonderful! In the past, our dog Cinnamon hasn't liked being away from home. But she has been to Erin's multiple times now and is always super excited to go. Erin is an excellent communicator when coordinating dropoff/pickup times and sending photos/updates while Cinnamon is visiting. We are so happy we found her (and Cinnamon is too!)”
“Becky was incredible with my pup! She provided great updates with pictures and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to others looking for a sitter!”
“Melissa took very good care of Chewie. . Melissa sent multiple photos of chewie during her two days stay with her. Chewie looked so happy and relaxed. We are really glad that we found Melissa through Rover. We will certainly use her services again in future.”
“Roy was able to dog sit our foster dog last minute which was amazing and a big relief. He sent photos and kept us updated for the few days we were out of town! His daughter also loved our dog which was great :)”
“Jennifer was awesome as always! I trust my pet baby with her. This is his 3rd visit with her. This was his second overnight stay, this stay was for two days. My boy is blind, takes insulin shots twice a day, a very old senior. I always worry about him when I’m away, but with Jennifer I can relax and enjoy my vacation. Thank you Jennifer. 🥰”
“I really appreciated Jared. He sent tons of pics of my furry little family member. Love it. Kylie. I know enjoyed her stay with Jared. I so look forward to utilizing Jared again”
“Danielle was a fantastic host. She is a good communicator, very accommodating and overall just a delightful person. Cersei felt 100% comfortable staying with Danielle and had fun playing with her own pups as well.”
“Matt was an incredible dog sitter! Took excellent care of my golden retriever! He made sure to give her plenty of play time and provided plenty of updates. My dog had an absolute blast staying with Matt”
“I recently left my pup with Davis while travelling internationally. He did an amazing job taking care of my pup and tending to all her needs. I was updated constantly with how she was doing and I couldn't be more happy! My pup has trouble adjusting to new homes and people but Davis was so nurturing and such a loving sitter that even she was sad to leave him! He is very experienced with animals, he even had extra treats and a very welcoming home for pets. Davis will definitely be someone I will hit up in the future for dog sitting, thank you so much for taking care of my baby with a lot of love.”

“I have pet anxiety like you wouldn’t believe when it comes to leaving my pets for vacations, but Payton was so communicative and interested in my kitties that I felt super comfortable leaving them! She’s extremely thorough and detailed in terms of updates and letting you know what’s going on.”
“Mindi did such a wonderful job of making sure my cat was well-cared for while I was gone. He gets really anxious when I’m away, and I could tell that she did a great job playing with him because he was calmer than normal once I came back. She also made sure he had water and a clean litter box everyday. I really recommend Mindi if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet!”
“Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.”

I have never had less than 3 cats of my own, and my husband and I are always caring for strays, finding them new homes (or letting them move into ours!) and working with local animal rescue organizations to give as many furry friends a good life as we possibly can. Whether your kitty is playful, snuggly, spicy, secluded, or a diva, I would love to get to know them and be there for them while you are away <3
“Aaron took such wonderful care of my two indoor cats! They are not used to being boarded normally so I wasn’t sure how they would do in a new setting. Aaron was very detailed in asking questions about them and letting me know how the cats’ setup would be to help them get adjusted at his place. He was very understanding that they might have been skittish or scared and from the photos he shared they were venturing out and exploring! I really appreciate his help taking care of my fur babies when I’m not home and will definitely use his services again.”
About: I've taken care of cats and kittens since I was around 11. My mom and I have fostered over 20 babies and gotten them into great homes. I also have taken care of multiple adult cats in my years, and volunteered with my local shelter as well. I've had experience with both feral and sick cats, and have spent a long time learning about cat care over the years.
“Quick responses, easy communication, and content cats 😀. I did not stress about my cats while on my trip since I knew Monica would take fantastic care of them. 10/10 would book again”
About: I lost my pittie Juice of nine years who passed away, I miss him deeply. I have thought of ways to give back that would fill my heart with joy. I would like to give back to other dog parents in need of help or an extra hand as a dog mama myself I have always loved dogs. I have grown up with large and smalls breeds my entire life and have watched my family and friends dogs throughout the years. I work hybrid remote, in office Wed-Thurs & about less than 10 min drive from work. I can be home the other days in the week and on weekends if needed. I live in 800 sq foot apartment and it can be spacious for large dog as well. I'd like to note, I reside on the third floor of my apartment and it is only stairs. My dog was as pittie 95lbs before he passed away. I live close to walking trails, nice neighbors, and close to two dog parks within a 5 minute drive.
About: I grew up on a farm and have a lot of experience with a wide variety of animals, from big to small and all different energy levels. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your animal, especially when you don’t have family around to help out, and I would be happy to be that person for you. Throughout the weekdays I am able to let pets out in the morning before work and then again around 4-6 pm and finally around 8-9pm before bed. I love to spend time with your pets playing, going on long walks, and am able to help with simple training and administer medications if needed.
“Bao was wonderful! We were out of town over the holidays and needed someone to check in on our cat a few times. She provided us updates and made us feel like our little guy was in great hands while we were away!”
“From the very first visit, I knew my four cats were in the best hands. Anita has this incredible way of putting you at ease; she jumped right in, effortlessly managing their individual diets and medications. It was amazing to see my usually shy cats instantly warm up to her! The daily updates and photos were the highlight of my day, and her communication is top-notch. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely dedicated to providing such loving care. Anita is officially my go-to sitter!”
About: I’ve raised dozens of neo-natal kittens, including ones with special needs. I also care for my senior cat, administering her heart medication twice daily, so I’m comfortable handling everything from routine care to more complex medical needs.

“It’s been 6 months last time my fur-child visited Martha. His reacquaintance with Martha & her family went smoothly! I received a comforting video of him playing with Misty and pictures during his stay. Happy to have found Martha!!”
“Tanisha was fantastic with my dog Morty. My dog is reactive and nervous around new dogs, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he would feel comfortable with her and her dog. We did a meet and greet, followed by a test overnight board and test daycare. It was incredible to see how well my dog settled in with her. You can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. I got a lot of pictures and videos of my dog while he was with Tanisha (more than I've ever gotten from a sitter). I highly recommend Tanisha!”
“Becky was amazing with our newly adopted fur baby! I had to reach out last minute and she was so willing to help. She took Daisy out for her walks and gave her her medicine and ointments as well as sent me updates throughout their day together ◡̈”
“Mack had a great time with Grisel! She sent many photos throughout the day, and Mack was playing with other dogs and looked very happy. Grisel is very responsive and great with Mack!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Miya. We really felt very warm when we met her the first time and when our dog was with her for a day, it was his first time at a daycare. She sent us photos and videos every few hours and our dog seemed to have enjoyed a lot. We would definitely recommend Miya and she will be our go-to sitter for sure. 5 stars. Thank you Miya for taking care of Koja and we are thankful we found you.”
“Cedric was amazing!!! Hands down the best doggy care one could ask for. He consistently kept me updated about what they had done for the day. Thank you again Cedric!!”
“Sade responded very quick on a Saturday night for a Sunday morning booking. My shy pup was well taken care , safe and sound! Sade updated me with photos of her settling in throughout the day. Sade and her family are a responsible, loving pet haven. We will be back!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving our cheyanne in jans care. Everything about this first time experience using a doggie daycare was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for taking such great care of our family during a time of need!”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
About: Hi, my name is Jacky! 👋🏽 I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I’ve fostered dogs in the past, which means I’m comfortable working with a wide range of personalities—including shy, energetic, or more sensitive pups who need extra patience and care. At home, I have three dogs—a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix, a Poodle/Maltese mix, and a Shiba/Husky mix—so I’m very familiar with different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or just relaxing and cuddling, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always provide updates, photos, and clear communication for peace of mind. My goal is to make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I do work, but I plan my schedule to ensure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care, along with regular updates. I provide safe, structured care with extra crates and a friendly, energetic Shiba/Husky to help burn energy and be a playful companion. In clients’ homes, I follow routines closely and give updates.
About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.
“Roy was so sweet with my Marti and sent me regular updates. 100% recommend. You can tell he cares for animals immensely. Was also extremely flexible with pickup and drop off times.”
“Today was Bruno’s second day with Kazue and he ran right up to her front door and was ready to play with her. She sends great pics and videos of him and he’s seemed to gotten very comfortable with her. Thank you Kazue for taking good care of my baby.”
“Matt took such great care of my dog Lillie! He was communicative, was great with introducing her to other dogs slowly, and made sure she felt comfortable. We will definitely book with Matt again in the future!”
“Roxy had a really great time with Debra and her pets during doggy daycare. Debra was really was attentive and caring with Roxy. I would recommend Debra for watching your fur baby. I will be utilizing Debra’s service’s again in the near future.”
“Loki had a great time spending the day with Lisa and Brent, and especially Louie. My pup got multiple walks a day, played his heart out, and came home in the evenings tired and happy. Lisa and Brent keep a lovely, clean home. They were accommodating, took really great care of my dog, and kept me posted with pictures. Thank you!”

I am looking to make some extra money on the side to help cover college expenses. Just like at my home, safety is my number 1 priority.

While in the home, I will be spending lots of time outdoors with them when the weather allows and make sure they are going to the bathroom to avoid accidents. As with all pets, I make sure to give them lots of love and treat them like they are my own babies.

“We were very pleased and thankful for the care provided to Bentley while we traveled. We stayed in communication and the updated pictures gave me peace of mind. When we returned Bentley was so excited but it was clear that he was in good care. Will definitely book again.”
“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”
“Chelsi is fantastic! Left our girl Donna with her and they had a blast together! She followed all our instructions and sent great updates and photos! We will definitely be booking with Chelsi again the next time we go out of town!”
“Grisel was great! We got pics of every mea/walk/ play time and our dog seemed to love every minute of it! We’ll definitely be booking with Grisel again. Thank you!!”
“Becky was incredible with my pup! She provided great updates with pictures and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to others looking for a sitter!”
“Roy was able to dog sit our foster dog last minute which was amazing and a big relief. He sent photos and kept us updated for the few days we were out of town! His daughter also loved our dog which was great :)”
“Matt was an incredible dog sitter! Took excellent care of my golden retriever! He made sure to give her plenty of play time and provided plenty of updates. My dog had an absolute blast staying with Matt”
“I recently left my pup with Davis while travelling internationally. He did an amazing job taking care of my pup and tending to all her needs. I was updated constantly with how she was doing and I couldn't be more happy! My pup has trouble adjusting to new homes and people but Davis was so nurturing and such a loving sitter that even she was sad to leave him! He is very experienced with animals, he even had extra treats and a very welcoming home for pets. Davis will definitely be someone I will hit up in the future for dog sitting, thank you so much for taking care of my baby with a lot of love.”
“Jeffrey and Jennifer were great with my pup. They gave me updates throughout his who stay and made me feel reassured that he was safe and cared for. Every picture they sent, he literally looked so happy lol. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times as well :) would definitely book with them again”
“We found our dog-sitter Josh through Rover.com and he did a great job! We quickly were able to establish trust with Josh and appreciated that he went the extra mile to give our pup Kylo full attention and love, in addition to taking excellent care of him. My 5 year old pup Kylo doesn’t do well with trusting new people and has separation anxiety from being coddled so much. Josh took such good care of Kylo that he almost didn’t want to leave Josh, which makes me so happy. This was my first time ever using a pet sitter, or service, that wasn’t family. I feel relieved knowing Kylo has someone I can go to that I trust moving forward.”
“My dog, Puddles, had a great time at Danielle’s! I dropped her over Fourth of July weekend and so she gets pretty scared from the fireworks. Danielle provided me with updates and assured me puddles was in great hands :)”
“Cathy did a great job keeping my little fur baby entertained and safe while wee were away. The pics and video were super cute! Looking forward to Cathy taking care of my girl again in October. Thanks Cathy!”
“Doh was great with boarding my dog who occasionally has issues with other dogs. She was able to play in her own separated yard. Doh was also willing to accept her last minute for a holiday. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Annie is great! She’s so sweet and kind! She accommodated every need for my Bella and went above and beyond. Check ins were good and she even bathed my dog. She treated Bella like her own and for that, I’m thankful!”
“Was really happy with Reginay and would book with her again. I’m always nervous to leave the babes with someone new, but she took in all my instructions for my very old dog and sent pictures to keep me updated. I felt like they were safe with her. Def recommend.”
