“We had an amazing experience with xiaoting while we were in the hospital delivering our baby. She was incredibly flexible with our changing dates and pickup timing, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during such an unpredictable time. She went above and beyond by preparing Mocha’s food when needed and kept us updated with frequent videos and messages throughout her stay. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Mocha was. When we needed to extend her stay unexpectedly, she was extremely accommodating and treated her like he was her own dog. We could truly see in every video how much love and attention Mocha received, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed her time there. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Yuan was really sweet and caring to my dog. She sends me updates in the form of texts and videos that gave me peace of mind- knowing that my pet is in good hands. Grateful that she accepted my booking at the last minute, and some modifications. 10/10 💙”
“Jane and Ray are the Greatest. I always feel so comfortable and secure leaving my Sweetie with them. They give excellant care and love to her and Sweetie is so happy there like a second home. They are my go to boarder any time I need to be away.”
“Caihua was wonderful! She was so sweet to our pitbull, Shelly and provided us with dozens of videos and updates while we were on our vacation which gave us a great piece of mind. She has a great backyard that Shelly loved running around in! Not to mention she was available last minute for us during our Christmas vacation!”
“Rebecca was amazing with Toby! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time. I could tell Toby was happy and well-loved while I was away. I’m so grateful to have found someone so kind and reliable — we’ll definitely book again! 🐶💛”
“Jessica provided wonderful care for our medium sized poodle dog “Pepper.” This was our first time leaving our beloved pet with Jessica’s family, but I felt very comfortable. We scheduled a meet and greet, then Pepper stayed for 10 days while we went on vacation. Every day we were apart, I received a text update on how our dog was doing along with a picture or video. I appreciated Jessica’s communication and faithfulness in reaching out while we were away, it set my mind at ease and allowed us to have a wonderful time visiting family. I also loved that Pepper was able to socialize with other dogs during her stay, in the comfort of a home environment and Jessica has a natural instinct for working with dogs :) Thank you Jessica for always responding quickly if I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
“From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was in good hands. The sitters were kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure Kai felt at home. We received regular updates, photos, and videos. Kai came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a blessing to find sitters who treat your dog like one of their own. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, loving care for their furry family member. Thank you again for everything—you’ve earned our full trust!”
“Omg, she was an amazing dog sitter for our dog, Kkomi! Kkomi is a very sensitive dog—he can tell when he’s not getting enough love and attention, and changes in his environment can easily make him sick. But it seemed like he had such a wonderful time with Mrs. Shin K and her husband. They clearly took great care of him and made him feel comfortable and loved. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Julie and Justin were amazing with our Ollie while I went out on a week long vacation. They made him feel very welcome and they sent updates every day. I would 100% recommend them to any of our friends and I will be contacting them for future needs 😊”
“I must say a big thank you to Connie! She gives my two morkies so much love! She is so kind and lovable and I can see the TLC in their eyes. Connie also sends me videos and photos of my fur babies. I just adore my little ones so much. No one better than Connie to love and care for my babies. ?”
“Joyce and Patrick were so wonderful — they took care of Theo, my kitten, like their own pet. They really care and are genuine, flexible, and communicative. I loved the updates and photos of Theo while I was away and it would give me peace of mind. They are both very trustworthy and have good judgment with animals. I can tell Theo was well taken care of—and I would totally book with Joyce again!”

“I had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Jessica for the second time recently, and once again, she did a fantastic job! Jessica is super responsive and friendly, making the whole process stress-free. She was also very flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated. One of the best things about leaving my dog with Jessica is her nice backyard, which is perfect for my dog to play and run around in. It's clear that Jessica truly cares about the dogs she watches, as she sent me pictures every day to keep me updated on how my furry friend was doing. Overall, I highly recommend Jessica as a dog sitter on Rover - she's the best!”
“Griffey and Nomar enjoyed their Thanksgiving vacation at Mel’s. My wife is a nervous Nancy when our kids(dogs) are away from us but she was at peace knowing they were in great hands with Mel. Nomar and Griffey even made new friends. Thanks Mel and family for caring so well for our boys. Until our next getaway!”
“Amazing first time experience booking a last minute boarding with Arthur. He took very good care of my 2 puppies which I had no idea how it was going to be since they are husky. They had 2 dogs of their own and Im glad my girls were able to get along well with theirs since they never had any contact with any other animals. Arthur stayed in contact with me every day and took pictures and videos to ensure us there was nothing to worry about. They look happy and dont seem stress at all. I am confident that he has many experience dealing with pets and I will be booking with him again when ever I need a sitter or to board my 2 girls. Arthur, big THANKS and see you soon!”
“Anne and Jason were wonderful and took great care of our old dog Coco. They provided us with updates and pictures of our dog which gave us great peace of mind. She seemed so content with the care they provided that she almost didn’t want to come home. Would definitely have them watch my pet again.”
“Sure! Here’s a tailored version: Jess was amazing with my golden doodle! She kept me updated regularly with photos, and her kids were so sweet to my pup—they played together, even slept together, and made her feel right at home. I could tell from the start that my dog was in great hands. I’ll definitely be using Jess’s services again!”

“Mel is an excellent dog sitter! We booked our first day care before my dog, Lucifur, was diagnosed with some limiting orthopedic issues that will soon require surgery. That means he now has to have his movement someone restricted to protect him from injury. When I gave Mel this update and asked if he would still be able to care for Lucifur, he was enthusiastic to watch him. In fact, when I arrived on the first day, Mel had thoughtfully set up a secure area for Lucifur to relax in AND had a plan to keep our dogs separated so Lucifur wouldn't get over excited and run/jump around. Mel was really thoughtful in ensuring that Lucifur had an environment that was safe and he put me at ease. Lucifur enjoys hanging out with Mel and Roxy and I feel confident that he's in great hands. Mel will be out #1 Rover choice from now on!”
“First time to use their services, and I’m very happy. They took my baby (coco - standard poodle 1 yr 7 mos old) in even if it was a short notice. They took care of her and when we picked her up she seemed happy even during drop off she wasn’t shaking which she does all the time during drop offs”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care my Lexi received! From the moment we connected, it was clear that Kathryn treats every dog as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to make Lexi feel comfortable, loved, and happy while I was away. Her attention to detail, constant communication, and genuine affection for my pup truly stood out. I received thoughtful updates, photos, and even little stories about Lexi’s day that made me feel connected and at ease. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, trustworthy, and compassionate. Lexi came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone extraordinary, someone who doesn’t just “watch” your dog but genuinely loves and cares for them, look no further. She is simply the best, and I am beyond grateful for the peace of mind she gave me.”
“Snow was very calm and understanding of my dogs nerves tendency, he had a bad experience at another dog kennel and Snow was great and with my dog. Taking video and pictures to update me. Thank you Snow”

About: I'm super patient and I'm very attentive. I just love looking after others in general and I find joy in work like this. I've looked after my sick parents and after my sibling most of my life, I was also one of the eldest kids in my church community so I was depended on to look after them a lot of the times as well. From there I was depended on for other things like looking after the occasional pet by family friends from the church and from my own friends. As of right now regularly help take care of my girlfriend's little Pomeranian and I love him. Right now, all I am is a full-time student so other than my classes I have very little commitment and will be free for most requests. Even if my schedule overlaps I also have a very flexible schedule so I don't have to consider if I'm free too much. When with a pet, I am not just physically present but mentally too, ready to anticipate any need and determine how to satisfy it. Always ready to look out for any potential danger and on my toes to be ready to deal with anything if needed.

I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available on weekdays and weekend mornings. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home and provide a calm, safe environment for pets. Dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, and plenty of exercise. I closely supervise all pets, follow owner instructions carefully, and can crate if needed. My focus is always on safety, comfort, and making pets feel at home.
About: I've always loved animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even cute little guinea pigs! I've owned them, so I understand the daily care, attention, and patience pets need. I also lived with roommates who had cats, which gave me experience helping care for them as well. I'm dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate more time and attention to your babies. I'm available for longer visits, walks, playtime, and/or keeping them company throughout the day. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and plenty of indoor space for pets to feel comfortable. There aren't many people in my home, so I can give your pet lots of attention and closely monitor their needs. I make sure they always have fresh water, and a clean/safe environment. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident they’re doing well while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of family pets for friends, co-workers, and friends of friends. I am stable and assertive when working with people and animals and am looking forward to being at your service! I am a local college student who spends a lot of time studying at home or nearby. My time is flexible so can be at your service as needed. I am careful and respectful! If you welcome me into your home, I would love to hear any rules or preferences you have for me!
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since 2018. I am a volunteer at Camp Companion, as well as in the hospital, so I’m familiar with how to care for humans and animals! I'm currently on a sabbatical so I have a lot of availability for whatever will best suit your needs! I am happy to help in whatever ways I can as we head into summer and can provide care on both weekdays and weekends. I am always aware of my surroundings, supervising both my own and my pets’ safety. My dog at home has lifelong allergies, so I’ve had to build trust with her so we can adhere to her medications, keep her clean, and keep her happy. I’m very adaptable and quick to create a welcoming environment.
About: TLDR: 1) I’ve taken care of dogs for 4+ years 2) I love hiking and long walks 3) Dogs tend to like me and I like them My fur-nephews are away and I miss them. Both my siblings have dogs and I've taken care of them over the years. Now, your dog instead, can be spoiled by my care. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood, to parks, and maybe even to a dog-park if you'd like. I'm the person that you run into the park or on the sidewalk that starts talking to you because your dog is just that cute and I want to pet him/her. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and we can see when could work best for our schedules. Preferably walks and/or visits are when the sun is still out. It’s important for us to have a chat so that I know what your pet’s likes, dislikes, and rules are. Once that is shared, I’ll use it to provide the best experience for your pet! :)
About: I’ve always been a dog lover. After losing my Basset Hound of 13 years to cancer last August, life hasn’t been the same. He was my sidekick and my carpool buddy. He taught me what it truly meant to love an animal though and how when it is real love, they can’t help but becoming part of the family. I’m still debating on when will the right time to get another dog will be, but in the mean time I miss be around dogs and I think this would be a great way to get back in the swing of things. Walking is not only therapeutic for the human but for the dog! I will make sure your pup is well exercised, safe and loved! I am a stay at home mom so I am very flexible to your and your pups schedule! I am an active person so taking a dog along with me is the cherry on top! As previously stated since losing my basset hound a few years ago my home has had a missing piece with no dog around. I don’t know when I will be ready to move on from that, but I enjoy to love on other peoples dogs in the mean time!
“Marissa is Punctual and reliable to show up at the time asked. She took great care of our dog including giving walks, feeding, and giving medications. She followed up with wonderfully written status reports and provided pictures of our pet which gave us a sense of ease while we were away. We looked forward to seeing the pictures at each of Marissa’s visit. I would recommend Marissa’s services.”
About: Hi! I’m a calm, attentive sitter who especially loves caring for cats. I currently live with my own cat, Mikey (the cat in my profile picture), as well as a betta fish. I have also had experience caring a Golden Retriever and a Chihuahua mix in my family. Looking forward to meet your furry loved ones! My schedule is flexible, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits and other pet care services throughout the week, and I try my best to keep each pet’s routine consistent while the owner is away. I understand how important reliability is, so I always try to be punctual, communicative, and attentive. Whether your pet needs feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, or a calm check-in, I’m always happy to help. I’m especially comfortable with cats and small pets, and I enjoy providing gentle, low-stress care. Safety, trust, and consistency are very important to me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, and any special notes so your pet can feel as comfortable as possible. I respect both your home and your pet’s boundaries, and I always make sure doors are secure, water is fresh, and litter boxes are kept clean. I also pay close attention to each pet’s body language and personality, especially with cats who may need a calmer approach. If requested, I’m happy to send photo updates and messages so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
“Shelby is a lifesaver! She accepted my last-minute Christmas request and even suggested a meet and greet beforehand to ensure a good fit. She walked Sushi for the exact time and distance requested, even with rain in the forecast. Reliable, professional, and dedicated—I can’t thank her enough for taking good care of Sushi for the first booking!!”

“We had an amazing experience with xiaoting while we were in the hospital delivering our baby. She was incredibly flexible with our changing dates and pickup timing, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during such an unpredictable time. She went above and beyond by preparing Mocha’s food when needed and kept us updated with frequent videos and messages throughout her stay. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Mocha was. When we needed to extend her stay unexpectedly, she was extremely accommodating and treated her like he was her own dog. We could truly see in every video how much love and attention Mocha received, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed her time there. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Yuan was really sweet and caring to my dog. She sends me updates in the form of texts and videos that gave me peace of mind- knowing that my pet is in good hands. Grateful that she accepted my booking at the last minute, and some modifications. 10/10 💙”
“Caihua was wonderful! She was so sweet to our pitbull, Shelly and provided us with dozens of videos and updates while we were on our vacation which gave us a great piece of mind. She has a great backyard that Shelly loved running around in! Not to mention she was available last minute for us during our Christmas vacation!”
“Jessica provided wonderful care for our medium sized poodle dog “Pepper.” This was our first time leaving our beloved pet with Jessica’s family, but I felt very comfortable. We scheduled a meet and greet, then Pepper stayed for 10 days while we went on vacation. Every day we were apart, I received a text update on how our dog was doing along with a picture or video. I appreciated Jessica’s communication and faithfulness in reaching out while we were away, it set my mind at ease and allowed us to have a wonderful time visiting family. I also loved that Pepper was able to socialize with other dogs during her stay, in the comfort of a home environment and Jessica has a natural instinct for working with dogs :) Thank you Jessica for always responding quickly if I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
“From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was in good hands. The sitters were kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure Kai felt at home. We received regular updates, photos, and videos. Kai came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a blessing to find sitters who treat your dog like one of their own. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, loving care for their furry family member. Thank you again for everything—you’ve earned our full trust!”
“Julie and Justin were amazing with our Ollie while I went out on a week long vacation. They made him feel very welcome and they sent updates every day. I would 100% recommend them to any of our friends and I will be contacting them for future needs 😊”
About: I have always loved dogs and cats. I grew up with a dog Blackie and I loved him with all my heart! I knew I would have dogs in my life. I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I had my lab Kenneth for 15 yrs he was the love of my life. I now have 2 dogs, a boy 7 yrs old and a girl 6 yrs old and a cat 7 yrs old. I simply just love pets. I am a group fitness instructor and personal trainer and love to run, walk, and hike, that usually keeps the pups happy. We go out on daily walks. We also play a lot of fetch in the back yard, as well as puzzles games :) I have a fenced yard and 2 pups to keep your pups company. I am able to separate the pups if you wish or crate them if you would like.
“I had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Jessica for the second time recently, and once again, she did a fantastic job! Jessica is super responsive and friendly, making the whole process stress-free. She was also very flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated. One of the best things about leaving my dog with Jessica is her nice backyard, which is perfect for my dog to play and run around in. It's clear that Jessica truly cares about the dogs she watches, as she sent me pictures every day to keep me updated on how my furry friend was doing. Overall, I highly recommend Jessica as a dog sitter on Rover - she's the best!”
“Griffey and Nomar enjoyed their Thanksgiving vacation at Mel’s. My wife is a nervous Nancy when our kids(dogs) are away from us but she was at peace knowing they were in great hands with Mel. Nomar and Griffey even made new friends. Thanks Mel and family for caring so well for our boys. Until our next getaway!”
“Eric was amazing! He sent daily video updates and took great care of my pup! My pup needed medication spray every day and Eric made sure to do it consistently. Really appreciated the extra care and communication. Highly recommend!”
“Valerie is amazing and I highly recommend her, she took perfect care of my dog to the point where she didn’t really wanna leave, Valerie listens to what you need for your dog and follows to the key what they need, thank you again!!!”
“Great host！Good Communicator! Took both of my dogs to be babysitted since my wife and I went on our vacation, but our dogs had a more spoiled and pampered vacation than us. Couldn't thank Yilin and her husband more!”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was honestly a little nervous — but Jing completely put my mind at ease. He was absolutely amazing with my dog. He has a huge yard where my dog, Simba, got plenty of playtime, and he kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. To top it off, he even sent him home with a toy as a gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. I’m so grateful I found Jing and will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!”
“I had an amazing experience with Pimpaka! She took such great care of my dogs and kept me constantly updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was super quick and responsive with communication, and it was clear she genuinely cared for my pups. Overall, just a fantastic experience—I'd absolutely trust her with my dogs again!”
“Five star with how fast they respond. From the time I sent request for booking, during my vacation out of town, Oi replied within few minutes. I was away for whole one week, and while they don’t send multiple updates throughout the day, I completely understand that some pet owners prefer not to be bothered constantly. I really appreciated the trust I could place in them to care for my dog without feeling overwhelmed with messages. My dog was happy and well taken care of, (and even bathed) and I’d definitely recommend this sitter to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful caregiver”
“Junyi responded very quickly. She is friendly and easy to communicate with, and is familiar with dogs' living habits. Her residence is very suitable for dogs to rest and play. She spent a lot of time accompany my dog. She and her family are excellent Rover hosts. My dog really likes them. This is one of the most reassuring experiences of dog boarding.”
