“Our two lil senior dogs stayed with Rachel for three weeks. This was our first time using a Rover sitter, and we were a little worried. But Rachel exceeded our expectations and took phenomenal care of our kiddos. Thank you!”
“My experience with Leah was great. She was very kind and accommodating with me & my 12yr old Jack Russell. My dog needed not just boarding but to take his meds. She also kept me at ease by sending me some pics. I am very grateful.”
“It was my dog’s first time boarding, so he started anxious. But Sofiya took care of him wonderfully, I think he left with good memory!! Also, thank you for pictures of Sammy with big smile 😊”
“The best pet sitter ever! There was an unexpected situation during the stay, but they handled it right away and kept me updated. I really appreciate their quick response and genuine care.”
“She has been very supportive and my dog was very well taken care of. She made sure she shared all the videos and photos every single day. It was great stay for my dog.”
“Boarded Luna at Soyoung's for 10 days again while we were on vacation. Soyoung took good care of Luna that she ate and slept well everyday. Soyoung sent me lots of photos of Luna playing with other dogs so I don't have to miss her that much during our trip. Luna has lots of fun every time staying at Soyoung's. We will definitely board Luna again and again next time when we travel!”
“Rachel and Cory (and their kids) were fantastic dog sitters. I received multiple updates and photos each day and their communication was excellent. They showed Daisy lots of love and it was clear they genuinely enjoyed watching her. I would 100% rebook them again”
“My 2 dogs had An amazing stay with Yan. She is so sweet, kind, and communicative. She is very easy to talk to and to work with. I really appreciate that she was available to take care of my dogs. The dogs came home happy, and I was relieved on my trip that they were in good hands. Will definitely book her again. Thanks so much !”
“Michael was a wonderful caregiver for our dog. He has a wonderful home with a nice backyard. Sent pictures and a message every day so we didn't feel too far from her. I will definitely bring Roxy back again!”
“Yoona, Minjae, and their sweet pup Buddy were absolutely wonderful hosts for my Bichon, Teo. This was Teo’s first stay outside the care of a family member, but from our very first meeting in Yoona and Minjae’s clean, welcoming home, I felt completely at ease knowing he would be in the best hands. Teo was comfortable with them right away, and the photos and videos they shared throughout his stay showed just how happy he was - enjoying plenty of walks, enrichment, and feeling truly included as part of their pack. It was clear that Teo received so much love and attention; he was affectionate with Yoona and Minjae and was genuinely treated like a member of their family. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were incredibly responsive and flexible with scheduling. The entire process was seamless, and Teo was calm and confident being left in their care. I couldn’t recommend Yoona and Minjae more highly, and know that Teo would be thrilled to return for future daycare or boarding stays.”
“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”

“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”
“Li-ting consistently provides the most excellent dog care we have ever experienced. Enrichment toys, new games, lots of walks, snuggles, and plenty of updates! She is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and loving to our pup. We are lucky to have her!”
“Our dog spent another long weekend with Boris and Olga and I feel like he had the best weekend! They took him on a hike and it feels like they really treated him like their own. Great communication. Lots of photos. Flexible with drop off and pick up. Would absolutely use again!”
“Miss Chooi, was amazing with Maya! She took such good care of her and I could tell Maya felt super comfortable and happy the whole time. I loved getting little updates and photos. Will definitely book with her again!”
“We never left our puppy anywhere for the night stay with new people, but when he met Olga for the first time, he was very comfortable to play with her. With that confidence, we left Biscuit with her for a night. She took great care of Biscuit with all his needs - walks, food and other activities. We love her service and looking forward to meet her again sometime soon. - Madhavi”

“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“Carissa was a great catsitter for our two cats while we were away from home for a few weeks. She was very caring to our cats and was consistent in her text and picture updates to us every day. Carissa was thorough in her following of our instructions to care for our cats, and most importantly her friendly demeanor created an environment where our cats quickly became comfortable and friendly with Carissa. This caring and kind attitude was very much appreciated by our cats and they loved her affectionateness and willingness to play with them for their exercise and enjoyment while we were away from home for a period. If we leave our home again, we would definitely hire Carissa again. We strongly recommend her as a catsitter who is not only experienced in animal care but also a kind and friendly person who can naturally get along with any animal.”
About: I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life from energetic puppies who are still figuring out the world, to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I'm comfortable administering medications, so owners of older or special-needs dogs can leave with real peace of mind. Dog care is woven into my day from start to finish. Mornings start with a walk, which sets a calm, positive tone for the whole day. I check in at midday to make sure every pup is comfortable and getting attention, and afternoons are reserved for playtime and activity. As the day winds down, I shift into a quieter evening routine to help dogs feel settled and secure before bed. When needed, I stay overnight so there's always a familiar face nearby. Because I work a flexible schedule, I'm not rushing between commitments. Dogs in my care get genuine, unhurried attention throughout the day, not just the leftover parts of it. When I care for a dog in their own home, my goal is simple — keep everything as normal as possible so they barely notice their owner is gone. I follow the routine the owner already has in place: same feeding times, same walking schedule, same house rules. For senior dogs especially, that consistency makes a real difference in keeping them calm and comfortable. For puppies, I stay attentive and keep a close eye to make sure they're safe and not getting into anything they shouldn't. I treat every client's home with care and respect, and owners can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so they always know their dog is in good hands
“Can’t thank Gabriela enough for staying with my cat Luci for the weekend. This is the first time I ever had to be away from my cat Luci for more than a few hours. I had to make a last minute plan, and reached out to cat sitters around my area via Rover. Gabriela was quick to reach out and scheduled a meet and greet. She understood the feeding instructions and other details about my cat’s routine and assured me of proper care. Throughout the duration of my trip, Gabriela was very responsive and provided me with constant updates and pictures of Luci. When o reached home, Gabriela had left the house tidy and clean, but the best part was that my cat was content and I felt like I never left the house. Would highly recommend Gabriela for her great communication and pet care.”
About: I've had cats since I was born, and have grown up appreciating their quirks and caring for all different cat personalities! I look forward to getting to know you and your cats, and giving them the best care possible while you are away!
“Excellent care of my two cats. Litter box stopped working and she was able to clean and manage the issue for me while on vacation. Even accommodated another visit. Thank you for easing my worry.”
“Keilah was such a great sitter. She was very quick to respond, very accommodating, and spent plenty of time making sure the pups were entertained while she dropped in for the hour. Definitely would book again!”
“Michelle stayed at our home with our kitty for a weekend. She was warm and patient with her. She sent regular updates and pictures of kitty and any packages that arrived. She took great care of our kitty and house.”
About: I enjoy caring for dogs and cats and always treat every pet with patience and attention. I am responsible, dependable, and careful about following each owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, and other daily care needs. I am generally available in the afternoons and evenings, which gives me plenty of time for drop-in visits and pet care. I can also adjust my availability depending on the day and the needs of each pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and routine. I make sure pets have fresh water and food, keep doors and gates secure, and give them plenty of attention while respecting their space and comfort.
“Yiping was an excellent caretaker. She made Charlie feel right at home. She was attentive to his needs and gave multiple updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her for care of your furry friend.”
About: I've always had a cat in my life and that has provided me with experience and knowledge in a wide variety of cat care situations. I also have 3 years experience in administering medicine to both my cats and others cats. From kittens to seniors. Spicy cats to escape artists. I've handled it all. Every cat has their own unique personality and I love getting to know them.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“I just wanted to share my great experience with you all. Today, my dog was in Soyoung's daycare, and I have to say, I'm very impressed with the level of care and attention he received. My dog is struggling with social skills (being super shy and timid), so I was a little worried about leaving him. However, Soyoung went above and beyond to ensure he had a fantastic time. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos of my dog. It was so heartwarming to receive those updates and see that my dog was having a great time. I really appreciate the extra effort she put in to make me feel at ease while my pet was in her care. My dog is a picky eater, and she even took the time to offer me some helpful advice when I came to pick him up. I'm so grateful for her kindness and expertise. She truly went out of her way to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable, and that means the world to me. If you're looking for someone who is caring and friendly to take care your pet, I highly recommend Soyoung. She is truly amazing.”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter and Anlin was responsive and more than happy to watch Dexter the next day. The whole process was smooth. Anlin and family are really nice and take awesome care of your pet. They checked in with photos throughout the day to let you know how your pet is doing. Would recommend for anyone who needs dog care.”
“Brian and Emi helped Mochi felt comfortable by playing with him since it was his first time there. Teddy is adorable and is nice to share all his toys, especially his glow in the dark ball. He was sleeping in a car on our way home. Must be be tired from a fun day. 😊”
“This is probably my nth booking with Ru, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. Ru’s reliable, caring, and clearly love the dogs she watches. Mochi gets so excited every time she visits and always comes home happy. Sometimes she seems like she’d rather stay a little longer! I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of her. See you next time! 😊🐶”
“Jie and her partner were so great with Kaio!!! He is usually very shy but he immediately looked at home with them. He even played with their sweet Shiba Inu! I really appreciated all the updates and pictures as well. Thank you!!!”
“Jocelyn has been wonderful with my golden retriever Ronnie. He didn’t want to leave :) I received so many photos and videos during the day. I will book again for sure when I need it. Thank you Jocelyn !”
“Loving, Attentive, Trustworthy, and Caring Princess had a great time with Ghazal and her husband! I could tell when I picked her up that not only was it a good fit but they both enjoyed their time together which meant so much to me. My girl only smiles like that when it’s real so it made my heart beam with joy knowing how much you liked each other. Thank you for the meet and greet the day before, accommodating a last minute request, excellent communication, the photos, being so flexible and patient. You are a dream sitter. We would definitely hire you again if you will have us.”
“Amy was very helpful and kind to my dog Reginald. She let him approach her at his own pace. He was scared at first but she kindly let him explore the backyard and he was able to relax and feel at home immediately. I feel safe leaving my dog in Amy's expert care. Her dog Emma is a sweetie”
“Emma took wonderful care of Pepper while we were away! She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and treated him like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely trust Emma with Pepper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Kenny is awesome, flexible, communicative and gives my dog lots of love (spoiled her with plenty park play time / walk)! My dog is genuinely happy going to Kenny’s everyday. Would definitely re-book in the future.”
“Atchariya and her warm family took such great care of our 10 month old doodle!! They lovingly fed him regularly, played with him and took him for regular walks in the parks and lawns near their home! Our puppy was so happy to interact with their sweet and mellow mini poodle and we know that our puppy really enjoyed that day!! Atchariya sent us regular updates via texts, pictures and even videos and we were constantly at peace that our puppy was well taken care of during his stay with her wonderful, caring family!”
“Yoona and Minjae was absolutely amazing! They are very easy to communicate with and gave us plenty of updates while Link stayed with them during his doggy day care! We love the pictures and all the care that Yoona and Minjae provided to Link and would absolutely recommend them and book with them again in the future. :-)”

“Shivani was great with Zion, she is officially the 1st person to dog sit him besides a kennel and at 1st I was extremely nervous. I can tell Zion had a great time from all the photos Shivani posted. Plus I could see all his activities. So happy Zion got to experience Shivani.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep background in animal rescue as the founder of Batallón de Amor. Over the years, I have rescued and adopted more than 10 cats and worked directly with vulnerable dogs, giving me specialized hands-on skills in animal behavior, rescue rehabilitation, and senior care. I deeply understand feline body language, pet psychology, and how to approach fearful, anxious, or sensitive animals with patience and care. Having owned and cared for cats y dogs my entire life—and missing my own rescued pets who are back in Venezuela—I treat every animal with the same love, respect, and devotion I give my own. I am completely comfortable with all aspects of hygiene, litter box management, special diets, and administering basic oral medications. Additionally, my work as a Spanish teacher provides me with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate generous, uninterrupted time during mornings, afternoons, and evenings to your pet’s exact routine of walks, meals, playtime, and quiet rest. I currently work as a Spanish teacher, which gives me great schedule flexibility: my afternoons, evenings, and parts of the morning are completely free to focus entirely on your pets. I love having this time available to dedicate myself to their feeding routines, walks, playtime, and quiet rest without any rush or distractions. I respect your home like my own, keeping doors and gates securely latched, following all entry instructions, and never leaving pets unsupervised in unsecured spaces.

I provide daily photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is eating, walking, and relaxing. My own rescued pets currently live back home in Venezuela, so caring for pets here is my primary way to share the deep love and passion I have for animals. I honor their exact daily routines—meals, walks, medications, and rest—while respecting their boundaries so they feel completely safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. Having managed a shelter background, I am completely comfortable with all hygiene needs, litter box maintenance, and administering oral medications if necessary.

“We couldn’t be happier with Sarah’s care for our dog! From the moment we drop him off, he’s excited to see her, and by the time he comes home, he’s happy, tired, and clearly had an amazing time. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands. Sarah is also fantastic with communication—she proactively sends updates and photos throughout the day, so we always know how our pup is doing. It’s clear she genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable and entertained. Overall, a 10/10 experience! We’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
About: I've owned pets since I was a kid, from Aussies to Pitties to cats. I love all animals and their unique personalities. I'm here to help you care for your fur family, from walks to feeding, to sitting. I'm very patient and reliable and have open availability to be here to help when you need it. I'm currently have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to help keep myself occupied as well as another source of income. I'm a single mom of a High School Senior so I have lots of free time to devote to your pets. I'll provide care for your pet in your home. I'll feed, water, walk, entertain and clean up after; however snuggles and pets are free. If your pet has special needs like meds, diet, mobility restrictions, I'll gladly help as needed as well. Your pets will be in good hands.
About: Growing up, I used to always come home with stray dogs and insisted we must keep them since they didn’t have a home. I have loved cats and dogs all my life, I would volunteer myself to walk all the animals in my family when I’d go over. My experience comes from having my own, having them in our family and volunteering to watching them while the grown ups go out and have fun. I love our furry friends! I’ve cared for a dwarf bunny, a dog and cats recently and I enjoyed getting to know them and their unique behaviors. Seeing how much I enjoyed it made me realize I could do this on a daily basis given how much free time I have. About 4 years ago I started feeding stray cats around my old neighborhood, the colony was huge but I felt the need to help them. The more I fed them and gained their trust the more I felt the need to help. I found a woman on IG and asked her if she could help me fix them all and find them homes. She was able to trap and fix them, there was around 96 cats total & we were able to successfully rehome 30 of them! One of them owned me and I couldn’t see him go so I kept Spot. I love cats and dogs and find them to be what every human needs in their life. I enjoy being home and I love going on walks as a form of self care. Pet care fits perfectly in my weekly routine because my main focus is to finish school at this time. I wouldn’t mind the company! I attend to their needs as I come across them and follow their own schedules on a timely manner. I ensure that I provide them with clean water and food daily while also giving them the proper exercise and attention on the basis of their schedule. Please note I only crate them when requested by owner and if it’s provided. I’m currently studying and doing Rover full time, which allows me to offer flexible care for your pet. I’m available for services every day of the week. Looking forward to providing a comfortable and loving experience for your furry friend! When caring for your pet, safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. I stay home to keep your fur baby company throughout the day, ensuring they feel safe and secure while you're away. I’m happy to follow their specific routines, from feeding and playtime to rest, so they have the consistency they’re used to. Crating is available if and when it suits your pet’s comfort and needs, and I make every effort to create a warm, welcoming environment where they can feel completely at ease. Please feel free to share any special instructions or preferences—I’m here to provide the best care for your furry friend!

“It was my dog’s first time boarding, so he started anxious. But Sofiya took care of him wonderfully, I think he left with good memory!! Also, thank you for pictures of Sammy with big smile 😊”
“Huimin did a great job taking care of our doggo while we were out of town. She made our dog feel welcome and accommodated her complicated breakfast and dinner process and medications. She also provided regular updates and photos of our dog which reassured us that our dog was in great hands! Would recommend Huimin for anyone who needs a dogsitter.”
“Qi was great! My dog Ellie had an awesome stay with her! She boarded there for about two weeks, and Qi kept us updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. She was also super responsive anytime we had questions. When I dropped Ellie off, Qi gave me a quick rundown of what her days would look like, which helped a lot. I also liked that she took a thoughtful approach to introducing Ellie to the other dogs and let me see how they interacted before I left. Overall, really smooth experience and I’d definitely book with Qi again!”

“Rachel and Cory (and their kids) were fantastic dog sitters. I received multiple updates and photos each day and their communication was excellent. They showed Daisy lots of love and it was clear they genuinely enjoyed watching her. I would 100% rebook them again”
“We left our dog, Brody, with Anlin for 13 nights, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As this was our first time working with Anlin, I was a bit nervous about such an extended stay, but he put me completely at ease the moment we met. Brody can be a generally nervous dog, but Anlin handled him perfectly. Throughout the trip, I received frequent updates, including photos and videos, which made it clear that Brody was happy and being truly cared for. Anlin was also incredibly gracious and proactive in working with us to ensure Brody had fresh food throughout his stay. We are so grateful for his care and absolutely look forward to working with him again!”
“Jia was wonderful with our dog Charlie. She was incredibly communicative with us while we were away. She answered all our questions and send a ton of updates regarding our dog and how he was doing! Thank you Jia!”
“Michael was a wonderful caregiver for our dog. He has a wonderful home with a nice backyard. Sent pictures and a message every day so we didn't feel too far from her. I will definitely bring Roxy back again!”
“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”
“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“Wow, what a fantastic experience! Sharry is an incredible host and is everything you'd want in a dog host. She was a great communicator, sent tons of pics and videos, was very attentive to my dogs, brushed them, and they were so happy and tired when we picked them up!”
“We never left our puppy anywhere for the night stay with new people, but when he met Olga for the first time, he was very comfortable to play with her. With that confidence, we left Biscuit with her for a night. She took great care of Biscuit with all his needs - walks, food and other activities. We love her service and looking forward to meet her again sometime soon. - Madhavi”

“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“Shreeja watched our dog, Commander Shepard, for the evening and did a great job! We let her know our pup has separation anxiety and they did a great job with her. They sent lots of picture updates and video too! Will 100% book with them again!”
“My lab mix Steinbeck had a great relaxed time at his first overnight stretch (3 nights and days) at Camp Mita, after previously spending several good doggy daycare days there. He is a rescue with a trauma history so he can become quite nervous when I am away-- but not so at all when with MIta and family!--who gave him so much TLC as well as lovely walks. MIta's calm and friendly older yellow lab also clearly was a very reassuring presence to him. I loved receiving the gracious daily photos so I could see how "at home" he was making himself. He came home completely grounded. I was able to enjoy my time away so much more because he clearly enjoyed his time with Madhumita. Thanks for your attentiveness to a sensitive dog, Mita!”
