“Leaving your dog for a couple of nights can be stressful, especially when your dog is your soul dog, but Suzanne made the entire experience so easy. From the moment Yarrow arrived, I could tell she was in great hands. I honestly think Yarrow believed she was on her own little vacation lol. She absolutely adored Suzanne, her wonderful kids, and the other dogs. Every update showed a happy, relaxed dog living her best life. One of the things I appreciated most was Suzanne’s communication. She sent updates, pictures, and little stories that made me smile and let me know exactly how Yarrow was doing. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they’re her own, look no further. Five stars simply aren’t enough. I’d give 10 stars if I could!”
“Erica allowed me to book last minute and was accommodating and communicative. The entire weekend Erica sent updates and pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. We will use her each time we need someone for dog sitting/boarding.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Forest this weekend. It means the world to us knowing he was safe, happy, and loved while we were away. Your kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind, and we’re so grateful for the time and attention you gave him. We truly appreciate you and feel lucky to have someone we can trust with our furry family member. With heartfelt thanks, Dave and Ana”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Our dog, Bailey was only 18 weeks old and she knew all the right things to do with a puppy. We never worried once about his care. She sent pictures every day of his antics which made us laugh but also convinced us that he was happy and loved. She was in tune with his quirky personality, from his removal of ALL the toys from the toy box before deciding what to play with, to helping with the laundry by stealing the socks, to proudly carrying things around that he “found” . AND Brittany was reasonably priced. We will use her again in a heartbeat. We felt so incredibly blessed to have found her. We can’t thank her enough for making our vacation stress free.”
“Jessica was awesome. She took great care of our lab. She updated us daily with pictures and a short message. Our dog returned so happy and clean. I highly recommend Jessica. She really cares for these beautiful animals.”
“Dana was great, very flexible and welcomed Yogi into her home. She sent photos to let us know our anxious pup was settling in and making new friends. Yogi had a great time and is looking forward to visiting again soon!”
“David was absolutely wonderful with Merci and Dolce. I really appreciated the videos and updates he sent—it made being away so much easier and gave me total peace of mind. It was clear they were having an amazing time, and honestly, I think they may have enjoyed being at his house even more than mine! He was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, and I truly can’t say enough good things about him. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“I’m so lucky to have found Leanne and her family! I never have to worry when my dogs are staying with them, they have a lot of experience handling multiple dogs who have their own quirks too!”
“K usually takes our pup on walks weekly, but we decided to have her watch our pup overnight for a few days while we were on vacation. K took great care of our pup and sent us tons of updates. Our pup had so much fun with her and her son!”
“Devorat was wonderful in every way - she's a sweetheart and kept in touchwith texts, photos and videos and I could see my pup was so happy with her and the other dogs!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Rafael was incredibly thoughtful and caring and communicated wonderfully well and often. Lulu had the time of her life and I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my pup in Rafael's capable hands. Highly recommend Rafael!”
“Good morning Natalia! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Calvyn! It’s clear that you went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved. We could tell he was in great hands, and it really put our minds at ease while we were away on the cruise. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an outstanding job! We noticed how happy Calvyn seemed to be when we brought him home. Job well done! Thank you so much we really appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to others! Manny and Addy Marques”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“Jessica and Justin are wonderful friendly, energetic people. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them and their own dog. We met ahead of time to be sure everyone liked each other. After dropping off my dog I asked if she could possibly trim his nails. I had made a grooming appointment but it wasn't for another 2 weeks, and my dog was slipping on hard wood floors. She happily offer to see if her groomer could squeeze him in for a quick nail trim. She was able to and I paid a small fee to the groomer. I plan to bring Charlie back for any future trips. A+ experience!”
“What a pleasure! Skyla was very welcoming and kind. This was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone and she definitely eased my worries. She was excellent and communicated regularly. She sent me photos and took amazing care of my Lila.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 9 month old puppy Bo. Samantha is amazing!!! She took such great care of Bo! He arrived to her with a fear of stairs from slipping on a couple of steps recently. Samantha worked on his fear while he was with her. He is a little timid still, but since getting home yesterday from Samantha’s, he went up and down with no problem. She even gave us tips and tricks to use if he was reluctant. He enjoyed walks with Samantha and has a new friend, her dog Mac and got to enjoy playing with him. We were updated daily and I had no worries @ all while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I love getting to know every cat’s unique personality. Whether your feline friend is a playful ball of energy who loves chasing feather wands, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a shy hider who just wants a quiet, respectful buddy to check in on them, I adapt completely to their comfort level. I'm highly detail-oriented and experienced with medical needs like oral meds or injections, so you can relax knowing their exact routine is kept perfectly consistent and stress-free while you're away!
“Sarah is awesome! And my cats, who are afraid of most people love Sarah. I rest easy knowing they are loved and cared for. I will book Sarah again for any future trips.”
About: I've always loved cats, and as a child, house sat cats for friends and family. I got my first boy in 2004, and have several since. While I'm currently a dog owner, cats always find me, and i make sure i find them, to love! Experienced with several health issues, but have not administered shots.
“Amanda was great! She worked with my schedule and had great communication while setting up care. During my trip she took good care of my 2 cats and sent lots of pictures that helped set me at ease.”
“Great experience. First time using Rover. Mariah was super friendly. We met prior to my trip and she was great with Ivy my cat. Ivy took right too her. I was very happy with the process. I’d definitely book her again.”
“Tiffany was a great cat sitter for our cat Vinny! She provided play time, regular feeding and litter changes, and went above and beyond by sending 5 pictures a day during and after her visits. We really appreciated how communicative she was and would hire her again in a second. Last but not least, her prices for cat sitting are incredibly affordable. Book her!”

“Nicole is a wonderful sitter! She watched my cat Otis for me semi last minute on a holiday weekend. He is a shy kitty but he was comfortable with her immediately. She was on time, communicative, and super sweet. Highly recommend!”
“Emily is amazing with our two cats; one spicy senior and a big boy who misses his mom. In the past I have worried about leaving them when we travel but now that Emily watches them, I know they're getting the very best care. She goes above and beyond to give them the attention they need while we're away and getting her daily reports and photos is so reassuring! Thanks so much Emily! 😸😻”
“Natalie was very accommodating especially with plans that fell through multiple times on my end. She then allowed a short term notice booking and did an amazing job and was very communicative.”
“Ashley did a great job with my puppy. She is so kind and was proactive in asking where items were in case he had an accident and cleaned up his mess. I would definitely book her again.”

I’ve been leaving my dog with her for weekly dog sitting and the occasional overnight stay for a month and a half now, and he always comes back refreshed and excited!

About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy.

“We left our babies in very good hands with Morgan. While we were on vacation, she came every day and picked them up and took them for a nice long walk on some trails our dogs love. Every day we got an email when she picked them up, photos and comments from Morgan and an email when she dropped them off. We could even see the route they took and the distance and time of the walk. My elderly mother said they returned tired and happy. We would highly recommend Morgan. She is responsible, punctual and most importantly a dog lover. Our girls were in caring hands. We plan on reaching out to Morgan the next time we travel.”

“Leaving your dog for a couple of nights can be stressful, especially when your dog is your soul dog, but Suzanne made the entire experience so easy. From the moment Yarrow arrived, I could tell she was in great hands. I honestly think Yarrow believed she was on her own little vacation lol. She absolutely adored Suzanne, her wonderful kids, and the other dogs. Every update showed a happy, relaxed dog living her best life. One of the things I appreciated most was Suzanne’s communication. She sent updates, pictures, and little stories that made me smile and let me know exactly how Yarrow was doing. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they’re her own, look no further. Five stars simply aren’t enough. I’d give 10 stars if I could!”
“Erica allowed me to book last minute and was accommodating and communicative. The entire weekend Erica sent updates and pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. We will use her each time we need someone for dog sitting/boarding.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Forest this weekend. It means the world to us knowing he was safe, happy, and loved while we were away. Your kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind, and we’re so grateful for the time and attention you gave him. We truly appreciate you and feel lucky to have someone we can trust with our furry family member. With heartfelt thanks, Dave and Ana”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Our dog, Bailey was only 18 weeks old and she knew all the right things to do with a puppy. We never worried once about his care. She sent pictures every day of his antics which made us laugh but also convinced us that he was happy and loved. She was in tune with his quirky personality, from his removal of ALL the toys from the toy box before deciding what to play with, to helping with the laundry by stealing the socks, to proudly carrying things around that he “found” . AND Brittany was reasonably priced. We will use her again in a heartbeat. We felt so incredibly blessed to have found her. We can’t thank her enough for making our vacation stress free.”
“Jessica was awesome. She took great care of our lab. She updated us daily with pictures and a short message. Our dog returned so happy and clean. I highly recommend Jessica. She really cares for these beautiful animals.”
“Dana was great, very flexible and welcomed Yogi into her home. She sent photos to let us know our anxious pup was settling in and making new friends. Yogi had a great time and is looking forward to visiting again soon!”
“David was absolutely wonderful with Merci and Dolce. I really appreciated the videos and updates he sent—it made being away so much easier and gave me total peace of mind. It was clear they were having an amazing time, and honestly, I think they may have enjoyed being at his house even more than mine! He was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, and I truly can’t say enough good things about him. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Devorat was wonderful in every way - she's a sweetheart and kept in touchwith texts, photos and videos and I could see my pup was so happy with her and the other dogs!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Rafael was incredibly thoughtful and caring and communicated wonderfully well and often. Lulu had the time of her life and I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my pup in Rafael's capable hands. Highly recommend Rafael!”
“Good morning Natalia! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Calvyn! It’s clear that you went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved. We could tell he was in great hands, and it really put our minds at ease while we were away on the cruise. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an outstanding job! We noticed how happy Calvyn seemed to be when we brought him home. Job well done! Thank you so much we really appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to others! Manny and Addy Marques”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 9 month old puppy Bo. Samantha is amazing!!! She took such great care of Bo! He arrived to her with a fear of stairs from slipping on a couple of steps recently. Samantha worked on his fear while he was with her. He is a little timid still, but since getting home yesterday from Samantha’s, he went up and down with no problem. She even gave us tips and tricks to use if he was reluctant. He enjoyed walks with Samantha and has a new friend, her dog Mac and got to enjoy playing with him. We were updated daily and I had no worries @ all while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”
“Dani is great with dogs. Our dog Hart spent the week there while we were on vacation. We got pictures and updates every day and he enjoyed his time there. Dani is conveniently located for us and very kind. Your dog will be in great hands!”
“I’ve booked with Francis a couple of times now, and they are an incredibly reliable family. They’ve been able to accommodate last-minute requests, which has been such a huge help. They also send lots of photos and updates, so you never have to worry about how your pets are doing. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love staying with them! I always feel comfortable leaving them in their care and will definitely continue booking with them.”
“Kyla is always amazing! We 100% trust her with our shy and skittish dogs. She also went above and beyond to care for our Frenchie who had a back injury a few weeks before our trip.”
“In a word, Anely was incredible. We had to travel across the country for a wedding just a few weeks after our pup went through a medical episode that involved a hospital visit, so we were super nervous about leaving her alone for a whole week. Anely was our superhero who saved the day! Anely took wonderful care of our special needs pup, made sure she took her medicine in the morning and the evening, took her on plenty of walks, gave her lots of love and playtime, and gave us total peace of mind with frequent updates while we were out of town for a week! A+ sitter, 10/10 would recommend her to anyone! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our little Juniper, Anely!”
“Taco had so much fun with Christina! She kept me up to date with all his activities and I knew he was in great hands for the weekend. Will definitely have him stay there again. Thank you!”
