“Chad is my go-to dog sitter for a reason. He's watched my dog many times, and every single experience has been perfect. He is 100% reliable, and a great communicator. I can travel without a single worry, knowing my fur-baby is in the best hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Alex is the best. He was very understanding with us when our flight was delayed and Pip always comes back to us happy and relaxed after staying with Alex. We will continue to book with him as our first choice whenever he is available.”
“Haydenn was super responsive and wonderful with our 10 year old dog, Fern. We had to make a change in our plans at the last minute, and he was very accommodating. We would definitely use him again in the future!”
“Lia was responsive and sent detailed updates throughout each day. Lia was also very flexible with some last minute changes I needed to make to the booking. Foxy had a great time staying with her!”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“Chloe and her husband were really great sitters..Bella had a wonderful time with them and we got pics and updates of Bella regularly. We are so thankful that Bella got to have fun while we were away.”
“Reese absolutely loves Erin! He’s so excited to see her for dog walks and sitting. Erin understands his Reese-isms and takes the best care of him. I get lots of updates and photos, which I love!”
“Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!”
“Meet and greet allowed us to have the pets meet and plan. Our Dogs stay was great. She fit in easily and was happy to play with their family. Pictures daily were cute. We will book again when traveling.”
“Christian was so great with Itty! She sent me pictures everyday of them out on walks and Itty curled up in the house. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Rodrigo is the best. He is considerate, accommodating, and sends great pictures and updates. My dog Curtis loves visiting for doggy daycare and extended stays.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Evan and Megan are phenomenal. They are extremely kind hearted, loving and made me feel very comfortable. They sent continuous updates. I will definitely recommend them and will be using them in the future.”
“Moana had a great stay! She’s pretty shy and anxious so I appreciated the patience they had with her while she got more comfortable. She looked calm and happy as can be in all the photo and video updates. Would definitely book again!”
“Stephanie and her family made Aladdin feel at home. She communicated, sent photos and videos, and loved on my dog as if it were her own. When I picked up Aladdin he didn’t want to leave. Will book again.”
“Michael was phenomenal as he took care of Sammy, my beagle. He was friendly and communicative and Sammy enjoyed staying with him. I highly recommend Michael.”
“Incredible! From the first moment, I knew my pup was safe and loved on. Abigail consistently communicated how he was doing and sent pictures that made my day every day! I highly recommend her services. I have booked with Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.”
“Maryjo and Jon were such caring and attentive dog sitters for our Carlton. They have tons of experience with dogs, and it shows! Thanks for loving our boy for a weekend!”
“Kamille was amazing! She took very good care of my senior dog and gave thorough and detailed updates. He had a great time, she knows all her client dogs very well and is able to provide them what they need. Needless to say, he came home very tired and happy!”

“Halle is an angel on earth. I was out of town for a week and she stayed with my adult cat and two kittens… she sent frequent updates, took exceptionally amazing care of the three boys, and left my place in perfect shape… I just can’t say enough good things about Halle, and I’m so glad she was available! Looking forward to hopefully having a chance to use her services again.”
“Karrah D. is a wonderful cat sitter! She came everyday that I was away, and took good care of my older cat, Grace. She played with her and then shared several photos of Grace each day with her visit report to me. I would definitely ask her back, and I highly recommend her.”
“Leo is a fantastic pet sitter who goes above and beyond for your fur babies. We’re really grateful to have him keep an eye on our cats while we’re away.”
“Kaitlin arrived as as scheduled and provided the love and care our cat needed while we were away. She followed instructions on his specific healthcare needs, cleaned his box, and refilled his food and water as requested. Monty was happy and healthy upon our return!”
“LP was super flexible and willing to brave my cat's slightly complex/intimidating medical care needs (manually emptying his bladder via low profile cystostomy tube) on short notice. Would definitely book them again and recommend to others!”
“Allison was wonderful with our sweet kitty! She was great and easy to communicate with, super flexible (adding in an extra day when we had to extend our trip unexpectedly), and sending wonderful updates. We love Allison and so does our boy!”
“We love Alex so much. Our cat has a heart condition and a grumpy personality, she is prone to depression whenever we leave. But whenever Alex helps watch her we feel at ease on vacation and there's a noticeable difference when we get back in her mood.”
“We really appreciate Joelle and Andrew. They are reliable and communicative and deal with our very difficult cat with panache and positivity.”
“Caden was great at taking care of Thelma & Louise for a last minute booking. He communicated well and showed pictures of them eating since one of my cats eats fast especially when anxious. He did a great job sending pictures too. Highly recommend Caden for your summer vacations!”
“Larquana was great with our 2 cats! She played with them and even our scaredy let her pet him. She was consistent with photos, updates, and general communication. Much appreciated!”
“Quantairra was a wonderful pet sitter! Tootsie was feeling a little shy this time and wasn't very socialable but Quantairra made sure all her needs were met. Great communication, provided pictures and swept around the litterbox area when Toots made a mess.”
“Michael dropped in every day for two weeks to play with a new kitten when I was at work. He was reliable, kind and overall great to work with, and a wonderful companion to my kitten friend. My kitten had a LOT of energy and Michael played with him using multiple toys/lures and fun techniques to help tire him out. He had a real attention to detail, heating the kitten's food to just the right temperature. :). (Thank you Michael!) I look forward to working with Michael again!”
“Landy did an absolutely fabulous job with Charlie Tuna - she gave him lots of cuddles and was super communicative throughout. Would definitely want Landy to catsit again!”
“Victoria was amazing!! She was very communicative with me regarding our girl who had a small cold and was even able to wipe her eye even though she’s very weary of people. She even went above and beyond by vacuuming up a little! I could not recommend Victoria enough. We’re definitely going to be using her as our sitter going forward!”
“Jason did a terrific job! Dropped in at consistent times and provided plenty of detail in his updates. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Matt was amazing. Great communication, very responsive and detailed. He took great care of our special needs dog and energetic cat over the holidays. Will definitely book again!!”
“I have asked Briana to take care of my cats many times and have always felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Of course, this time too. I will ask her again.😊Thank you so much!”

“Our puppy Fiona had a great stay with Chad, and Chad was super obliging and communicative when we had to adjust our second visit at the last minute. Thank you!”
“I felt very confident my dog was being very well-looked after. Cassidy sent me frequent photos and updates and seemed very happy to have my dog. I will definitely contact Cassidy the next time I need daycare of boarding.”
“Joey did a fantastic job to take great care of my 7-year-old labrador who had a bit of separation anxiety. I am so grateful with Joey to accept the last minute request after a brief meet up. I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!”
“Josefa was wonderful with our dog Toby (mini schnauzer, 8 yrs old, 30 lbs) when she looked after him for the day. She was so warm, welcoming, communicative, and made sure that Toby was comfortable while in her care. Toby was super relaxed when we picked him up, which is a great sign. We're so glad to have found Josefa and will absolutely reach out again for doggy day care. Highly recommended! :)”
“I couldn’t be happier with Adi & Pat’s care for Louie! They communicate well and clearly, they asked good questions to make sure they’d cover all the bases for Louie’s care, and provided regular updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated. Louie came home happy and relaxed after his stay and knowing he had a comfortable time is great peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for anyone looking for local sitters and I will certainly be rebooking for any future stays!”
“Shantell is great. She is always sending me pictures of my pup relaxing with her pals, and she has been very accommodating with me if I need to pick up my dog a little later than expected. Shantell makes my life better and keeps my dog happy.”
“Michael took great care of my boy! Lots of play and attention; he came home tired out in the best way. Even gave him a brushing! He was also willing to be flexible with my uncertain timing, which was much appreciated. I would book with him again, no question.”
“Definitely recommend booking with Ken! He takes great care of Sammy, is incredibly responsive, and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day.”
“My maltipoo had a great time with Asma! Asma quickly helped him feel situated in a new environment, and she was caring, fun, and patient with him (she also shared some new treats for him which he loved). Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!”
“My dog seemed happy and healthy on pickup after two nights. I didn’t meet Dominique, just met her brother on both dropoff and pickup. He was good with my dog and theirs, as well as a third old pup who was at the house at pickup. They had the porch secured with a barrier that would not hold a big or determined dog but it seemed they were out there supervising all the time so no worries about escapes. They communicated well, I got photos and a few texts around logistics. Thanks guys! We’ll definitely consider using them again.”
“Chris was great! Very responsive and helpful. It was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous but Chris alleviated all fears. Highly recommend. Will use again.”
“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”
“Christian is a wonderful dog sitter and walker! He ask great questions, is very caring with my high energy chocolate lab Waffle. He’s easy to communicate with. Would recommend him to anyone.”
“Kat is super kind and attentive! She loves dogs and knows them well. We feel great about leaving Chester with her given how communicative she is.”
About: Hello! My wife and I would love to take care of your dog. We both love dogs and have been taking care of dogs for the last three years. We are a very fun and active family. Together with our beautiful lab dachshund mix, Lucy, enjoy going on long walks, mostly in the mornings and afternoons. Most mornings we end up going to the dog park since we love that our Lucy and the dogs we are watching have fun and spend their energy. We live in an apartment, and will be able to cater to any of your dog’s needs. I work from home so I am almost always available for dog sitting and boarding, just let me know and we’ll figure out the best times for your schedule. I take the dogs outside every couple hours, and for a walk in the morning and evenings. I also have a large crate if your dog is crate trained, dog beds, and many toys.
“Matthew was great! Shared updates and Lucy seemed really comfortable with him. Grateful he was able to watch Lucy on a short notice. Hoping to use him again!”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of my puppy Barry. He played with her puppy and loves staying at her house. Would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for daycare and puppy care.”
About: My husband and I live in a spacious home in Manor Park with a very friendly rough collie and fenced yard. I am now back at the office and while my husband normally works from home, he rarely must be on-site on short notice. Please consider this possibility when gauging whether your pup could be okay during the day if needed. Our pup would love a pal! We take 2-3 walks a day and play as hard as we nap. We live near lots of green space and the Takoma dog park. We’re here to cater to your dog’s specific schedule and needs! Your pups have free roam of our house and can hang out in the yard or covered back deck weather-permitting. Potty breaks happen in our yard and/or on walks.

“Leo has been taking our dog on midday walks twice a week for the past few months. He is unfailingly reliable, communicative and responsive. He lets us know if he is going to be even a few minutes later than usual, even though our dog is low-maintenance and large-bladdered! Leo has given us lots of advance notice on the rare occasion when he was not available for a regular walk (e.g., at the holidays). And he's an all-around nice guy. It gives us great comfort to know that our Jake is getting such excellent care.”
“This was my first time using Rover and was in a tight spot after my go-to walker was out of town. Andrew was more than we could have asked for. Our dog is an anxious fellow but took to Andrew immediately which really gave us peace of mind.”
“Our neighbors use Mega and spoke very highly of her. I can confirm their praise was well deserved. She is very communicative and likes to really get to know what the pet enjoys before taking care of them.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds and sizes for over 5 years. Coworker and friends trust me with their precious fur babies. I’m patient enough to work with puppies or senior dogs as well. I’m also very comfortable with cats and their different temperaments. I’m currently working part time remotely so I have the flexibility and time to give your pets all the love and care they need. With enough notice I can be available any day of the week at any time. I currently live where there is a pet limit but I am free and available to travel to you to look after any of your pets.
“Michael did a great job taking care of our dog! She immediately took to him and was nice and tired after good long walks. Very communicative and easy to work with!”
About: I grew up spending lots of time at my aunts house who loves animals. Every weekend she often had me walking and feeding her dogs and cats.I also feed her fish and turtles . She taught me a lot about dogs and how to train them. I currently have an open schedule until I start college so I am able to be very flexible with my time. Rover is my top priority at the moment. I will follow all safety precautions and instructions to keep your pet safe. I will follow all care instructions left by the pet parent and make sure I create an enjoyable environment for your pet.
“Katie goes above and beyond and I literally have no critiques. I have 2 big fur babies and she met them before my trip, took pictures while I was away, gave me updates on them, administered one of my dogs medications, and was super accommodating with a last minute request because I had travel delays. One of my babies has an abuse history and I was so worried but Katie asked questions and gave her time to warm up. I will definitely continue to use Katie’s services moving forward and recommend her services as much as I can. She’s my go to sitter for my babies when I’m gone!”
“Caden did an amazing job during all the summer time with weekly walks with my Benny, reliable and trustworthy. Sometimes on my request, because of the rain he was willing to change the schedule time to avoid benny being outside during rainstorm. I highly recommend!”
“Landy is great! Excellent communication and truly cares about my pups. She’s comfortable giving meds and asked great questions that shows she’s on top of it. Also she sent adorable photos of them on the walk! 🐾🦴”
About: I've had dogs since I was about 14 years of age, from tiny terriers to large labradors. I've also been surrounded by some of the loveliest (and skittish!) cats, learning to love them like my own. I work only weekend nights, which is when my partner is available. Even then, I'm never more than a few minutes walk away from home in case of an emergency. Taking care of your fur baby is always top priority! I'm always home, and would never abandon a pet. I take my current dog everywhere I possibly can, and in the rare chance I have to leave, my dog is crated or isolated in a different room. We also have access to an enclosed patio.
About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.
“Amanda is easy to work with, friendly, and focused on the needs of my dog. She was attentive and caring, and she made me feel very comfortable and at peace knowing that my dog was safe. Thank you, Amanda!”
“Corrine was punctual, communicative and best of all — great with our dog Boomer! She asked all the right questions about how to provide him with the best care and gave him lots of snuggles. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all behavioral backgrounds, particularly highly anxious rescue dogs who have been through trauma as puppies from humans, shelters and natural disasters. As a freelance artist, my unique schedule allows me to dedicate time to pet care that a typical 9-5 does not. I have the ability to spend quality time with your pet and flexibility to adapt to your pet's schedule as much as possible. I maintain a calm and caring environment for the pets I care for. I know it can be hard for pets when their owners leave, so I prioritize making their environment feel as normal as it does when their owners are home.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for both younger and senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own, CJ (4) and Molly (10), so I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I prioritize daily walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet I care for gets the attention they need. I always make time to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable. In my home, I create a safe, pet friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I ensure pets feel comfortable and at ease, sticking to their routine and providing personal attention throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their pet’s familiar surroundings, following specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and medication.
