“Sandra and her family were wonderful to my Scooby boy! I love how he was able to spend a lot of time in a safe, fenced yard. I could tell he was well-cared for and I'd love to book with Sandra again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I am so lucky to have found Jill. She was able to accomodate my needs for a sitter at the last minute and was the perfect match for my dog. He instantly bonded with her son and loved being with the both of them. He was completely taken care of by her and her son for the week and had a great time. Her home is immaculate as well as low key and her fenced in yard was a bonus. I will definitely be utilizing her services again in the near future! :-)”
“Sadie loved her time with Nadjeska and her family! It was hard to leave her for the holidays but it was clear she felt right at home. It was helpful to get so many pictures and and know she was doing well. We would definitely book again!”
“As always, our pup is in the best of hands, she’s always excited to stay with Ariel and her family of humans and furry friends. I love our daily updates and pictures and so happy she is in a home environment when we cannot be home with her. Thank you!”
“I highly recommend Gaileen! I had never left my senior dog with anyone other than family before and Gaileen was great at making my dog comfortable and sending me updates! She has been professional, reliable, and caring. My dog is looking forward to more overnights with her! 😊”
“Tara is a great care giver for my dog, a large lan. She has a a dog equipped home and a fenced in back yard. She’s cheerful, accommodating, and provided healthy snacks. She and her husband took her for walks multiple times per day. Totally trustworthy and communicative. Best Rover find ever!”
“We booked last minute with Brianna and we are so glad we did! She was kind and professional from the start. I appreciated how quick and clear of a communicator she was. From the photos she shared with us, it was evident that Loki, our husky, was having a great time and being well cared for. He came home happy and healthy. With Brianna’s genuine love for dogs and experience she has caring for them - I felt at ease when she watched our dog for two weeks. We would definitely book again. Thank you Bri!”
“Maria was an angel ?! She helped me with my baby Callie(who's really 9) while I worked back to back 12 hour shifts and my Mom was in the hospital. Mom's Callie Mama2 and is usually with her when I work. I can't say enough wonderful things about Maria and her care of my Callie. I would definitely recommend Maria to care for your beloved pet. Thank you to Maria and her family from me and Callie.”
“Stephanie had a houseful of dogs when I dropped Kasha off for her first time there, and Kasha was a bit overwhelmed. But photos I received from Stephanie soon after showed Kasha looking calm and comfortable. Stephanie is obviously very experienced with dogs, and Kasha was well cared for. I would definitely use Stephanie again.”
“Bruce was SO amazing with our anxious rescue dog Max. We had never left him anywhere and were very nervous. Bruce made the experience extremely easy and sent many pictures and updates throughout the day that put us at ease. The second time we brought Max there he was so excited to see Bruce!! We truly couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first overnight stay with Laura, or anyone else for that matter. I was hoping it would go well and happily Evie had a great time running about and playing with three other dogs. Good to know I have a safe place to drop Evie off when I'm away.”
“Anthony was fantastic as a sitter for Bella! He sent photos and/or videos every day, and in each one, she was clearly having a great time! Any loving pet owner knows what I mean when I say that in nearly every photo he sent, Bella was REALLY smiling! During her 2-week stay, she met several other dogs, and judging from the photos of Bella with her new 'doggie friends', she got along with them very well. Anthony has a method for introducing new dogs to each other slowly and calmly so that they get along, run together in the fenced backyard, and have fun! Anthony is very attentive and great about keeping the same feeding, exercise, and sleeping routines with the pets in his care that they have at home, so that their normal schedules aren't disrupted and they don't learn 'bad habits' from having different permissions or restrictions than they have at home. She had such a good time, Bella even seemed a bit sad when I picked her up to come home, but she came home happy, healthy, and very excited and thrilled to be back home again with family. Yet, I think she now considers Anthony part of her family, too.”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Mark and his family, especially this being our first time using Rover! We received an update every day while we were gone on how everything was going with our two dogs, and really made us feel at ease. Mark and Kate are extremely accommodating and so kind! Will absolutely be using them for our next trip.”
“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Scooby, especially when he was anxious about hearing fireworks - they comforted him and played some calming music for him. They also sent regular and detailed updates with many pictures!”
“Christopher was kind enough to take my pup on fairly short notice, which I so appreciate. He was friendly, a good communicator, and sent me updates/photos of my dog every day. I can tell Molly enjoyed her stay and I plan to bring her again on my next trip.”
“Mariana was wonderful. This was only our second time using a boarder (or Rover) but we have only positive things to say. She sent us many picture, videos and cute comments about how are dog was doing and getting on with her boarding adventure. Mariana is very sweet natured and it’s clear she really cares about each dog in her care. Highly recommend her.”

“We could not be happier with Kacie! She took care of our Maine Coon for a little over a week and did a phenomenal job. We felt completely at ease knowing our guy was being so well taken care of! And from the looks of things, he was a very happy camper as well! Kacie is responsible, kind, compassionate, caring and extremely attentive. Not to mention, incredibly flexible also. We would highly recommend Kacie for your pet’s needs and will also most definitely be using Kacie again for ours!!”
“Kim was fantastic, our cats were well taken care of during her visit and we received many photos to document! She is very thorough and our guys were so happy in her care!”
“Tyler is fantastic! Super caretaking for my cat over a whole week of meals, medications - lots of attention to detail. A very caring, attentive presence that my normally shy cat really responded to.”

“Great experience with Melissa! She took amazing care of Joey, gave him love and attention, and kept us updated with lots of photos. We felt totally at ease and she happily did everything we asked. Will definitely book her again! ❤️🐈”

“Vinny looked after Walter for six weeks and went above and beyond in looking after him. He has looked after him several times now and I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a sitter.”
“Courtney dove right in and took care of my two, somewhat complicated cats for almost two weeks. One needs daily meds and limited outside time to stay happy, and the other one is new to the family and is still getting used to everything. I got almost daily communication with pictures. It was great to have someone staying in the house as I was gone for so long, Courtney was very respectful of the house as well! I hope to hire her again in the future.”
“Bailee is amazing. The kitties were so happy when we got home and we could tell they were very loved. She sent updates and was always so quick to respond. We definitely will be booking again with her soon!”
“We love continuing to book Bella. She is so accommodating, responsible, and trustworthy. We could not be more comfortable with any other sitter in our home and looking after our cat. She is so gentle and patient with our scaredy cat. He has really grown to love her and come out of his shell with her. Thank you so much Bella! Ru looks forward to seeing you soon!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Guilford
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”
“Thank you so much. Brianna was great, texted us and kept us in the loop and sent pictures. I can tell Frida had a great time, she’s fast asleep early!Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Stephanie took great care of my beagle for three days while I had to travel out of state. He came home to me exhausted and happy after full days of playing and walks. Thanks Stephanie!”
About: I have a close connection with a well-respected, professional dog trainer. I can usually get helpful tips and techniques on short notice, which I have used to successfully train puppies on basic commands (sit, stay, etc). I have 1 cat (2yrs old) who is neutered, indoor, and very shy. I work from home so I spend a lot of time caring for my pet which includes 3 mealtimes, plus play/enrichment time, and relaxing downtime each day. For dog care, I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice area, so dog walks and outdoor potty breaks are very convenient at most times of day.
“We took Frances to daycare as a first step before considering boarding. From the very beginning, Raeven was very kind and welcoming. It was our first time using this service, and it couldn’t have gone better. Now we feel at ease knowing that our pup will stay in a place we trust.”
“Absolutely amazing. First time using Rover with my new rescue, and Amanda was incredible. From the time I dropped him off, he settled right in, she kept in constant communication, was incredibly patient as he settled in. She is a loving caregiver, and I would absolutely book her again without looking anywhere else.”
“OMG THE BEST! Mariana took such great care of Galileo. And she took care of ME as well. I felt so safe leaving the little man with her. There were constant updates and photos and so much love. I wish I lived closer so I could use her every day!!!”
“Sarah and Steve took such great care of our puppy! We are so happy that she was in such good hands while we were at work. Sarah is super friendly and nice to work with. She sent updates, photos, and videos, which put us at ease throughout the day. Our pup was excited to see Sarah, and came home very tired at the end of the day. We would highly recommend Sarah and Steve!”
“Kristen was great with our 3 month old puppy. She was flexible, sent us plenty of pictures, and responded quickly. It was a serene getaway for him and he looked very comfortable in her home. She took him on walks and he walked really well with her. On the second day drop off Kameron was wagging his tail as we walked inside and went straight for a prized green toy he loved. The pictures she sent were beautiful and she was very easy to talk to. I highly recommend her would absolutely use her again.”
“Bruce met Ozzy for a meet & greet and then cared for him the whole next day sending me updates and pictures on how everything was going. I was so happy to know Ozzy was in a safe environment and having fun. Bruce knows animals very well and is very generous, he made sure Ozzy felt super comfortable! As a pet owner this is everything; 10/10 from me and I would recommend Bruce to a friend”

“Steven and Claudia are awesome dog people. They kept in touch with pictures and a video and Mello was very happy when I picked him up. Would definitely book again!!”
“Gwynne is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!!! We tried other rover sitters but no one is as dedicated, responsive and caring as her. My dogs Bubble and Molly got two long walks in the scenic neighborhood, rolling time in the beautiful yard (safely leashed!!), cuddling time with mini humans. The dogs and the kids cannot be more adorable. Bubble and Molly couldn’t be any happier! They fell asleep five minutes after we picked them up. I highly recommend Gwynne as a wonderful dog sitter.”
