“We had such a great experience leaving our pup with Malvi and Andrej and their sweet dog Max for a long weekend. We were nervous as it was our first time boarding Benny, but our anxiety quickly dissipated as we got regular updates and photos of him getting lots of attention, playtime, and individualized care. Benny is oftentimes timid, but it was clear that he quickly settled in and was having a blast. I’m so grateful. We can’t recommend Malvi and Andrej enough and look forward to next time.”

“Emily was fantastic looking after my cat while I was away for a few days. Highly communicative, followed the rather specific feeding instructions I left, and spent a long time playing with her twice a day. I would recommend her and rebook her again.”
“BOTH cats immediately took to Kellye!! She quickly picked up on their quirks and personalities, as evidenced in her comments during daily visits. She obviously understands them and spends quality time with them despite short visits. The place was clean and secure upon our return. Comm was excellent before, during and after. I will definitely hire Kellye again!”
“Carolin was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was so communicative, sent lots of cute pictures and videos, and took great care of our cat. We feel lucky to have her in the neighborhood!”
“There are some really great pet sitters and then there are the ones that have that seventh sense about things that seem to know what's needed in the moment -- that's Hadley. She was so careful to do what was asked but she also did what no human can know that you will need in a LIVE moment. What a great sitter! Thoughtful. Wise. Kind. On time. Organized. Respectful. Great Communication. Really and truly One-of-a-Kind.”
“Angela was fantastic with my cat! I went away for the holidays and she was able to accommodate my schedule with flexibility. She took great care of my cat and sent detailed updates for each visit. Definitely looking to book through her again!”
“Our cats were in good hands with Eric. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin shots twice a day. Eric was very communicative and went out of his way to ensure our cats were well cared for. We came home to happy, healthy cats. Would book him again!”
“Abby was great at watching my cat while I was away and very communicative! I appreciated receiving so many pictures, written updates, and videos. It made me feel like I could rest assured that my cat was being taken care of while I was out of town. Thanks Abby!”

“Nicole and Keiran are great. Super responsive, leaned forward in giving us updates, and did a wonderful job providing care for our cats. We will continue to book with them!”

“Whitney did a wonderful job! The kitties loved her and she followed all instructions to a T. Best pet sitting experience on rover so far—I have already rebooked with her.”
“Kennedy is truly the best. She has taken such good care of my dog Remy while he is recovering from surgery. She is the highlight of his day and has given me so much peace of mind.”
“Bonnie went above and beyond the call of duty for my kitties! Right before I left for an overseas trip, my kitty started experiencing tooth pain. His vet prescribed pain meds, which were not easy to administer. Bonnie worked really hard while I was out of town to get my kitty the meds he needed. She was actively corresponding with my vet to ensure acquit care (my kitty is also diabetic so that added a whole other level of challenge). Bonnie was communicative and clearly cared deeply about both my animals getting the best care possible.”
“Andrea was FANTASTIC!! We’ve left chip alone for about 36 hours in the past without a sitter and she always seemed anxious when we got back. This time around, we were gone for 3 1/2 days but had Andrea stopping by 2 times per day. Chip was in such a better mental state when we got back! Andrea texted me each time she stopped by and sent photos of chip which really made me feel good and eased my mind. I hope to use Andrea every time we go away!”
“Samuel did a great job with our two cats - came back to a clean place with the cats seemingly all well. Samuel was also communicative and responsive. I recommend!”
“Briana was absolutely the best and most trusted person I could have found to watch my little lady. I'm so grateful for her care, her humorous updates, and for helping me stay connected even from abroad. Briana's thoughtfulness really shines and I'd be honored to use her services again. Thank you, Briana.”

“Thank you so much again for watching my baby 🐶. I will definitely book him again. My baby was very tired, which was a good thing. She got home and ate and went right to sleep.”
“We’ve had June watch our puppy for many months now and I can’t believe I haven’t sung her praises until now. June has been the best dog sitter and 3rd parent to our dog! She’s communicative, helpful and as a new puppy parent, very helpful in reinforcing training (we think she’s better behaved at Junes!).”
“I was very pleased and grateful for Suvon’s care for my puppy, Cooper. It was very easy to arrange date and time, Suvon was very prompt and clearly explained what Cooper needs to bring and what I can expect while Cooper’s there (which were all amazing!). Suvon kept me posted very frequently with how Cooper’s doing and sent me amazing photos (ummmm... like studio quality with gorgeous backgrounds). Looks like Cooper had a great time, he came back home and is sleeping like a baby.”
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Precious and Devin were absolutely great hosts!! They kept me informed and made sure to communicate with me throughout the day! I really appreciate how warm and welcoming they were and the excitement that had in hanging with Bernard for the day! I could tell he enjoyed himself!! Highly recommend booking with them and will continue to do for future stays!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently in my last semester of nursing school! My classes are online, and I only have one in-person clinical day per week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for doggy daycare, boarding, and walks throughout the week and can usually accommodate different drop-off, pick-up, and walk times. 🐾 Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

“We have not been successful with dog walkers in the past because our dog has refused to leave the house with them. But Nicole and Keiran took the time to get to know our dog and his quirks and pretty quickly he has become comfortable enough to leave with them and seems to really enjoy his walks!”
“Michael has been a reliable dog walker for us for over 6 months now. Romeo is 16.5, and Michael’s patience has been appreciated with some growing needs and a few extra steps in caring for a senior dog. Thank you, Michael, for your care and attention to detail 🙏🏽”

About: I grew up around large dogs and I am comfortable and enjoy around all kinds of dogs, I love to go on runs and walks of all lengths!

Has past experience walking large and jumpy dogs, and lives in very walkable area. Also comfortable playing with dogs to get some extra energy out!

“Mike was great and so patient with my anxious dog. I had surgery and could not walk her alone and since she refused to go without me, Mike let me walk with them until we could get her to go potty. You can tell how much he loves and respects animals and I hope once Kiele gets over her anxiety we can use him again.”
“I am so grateful for Thomas the incredible care he takes of my 3.5yo Great Dane! Thomas is a consummate professional, from diligence with all my requests to even thinking proactively about the weather. He is truly a wizard at capturing action shots, too! His detailed descriptions of the walk and fun pictures are such a ray of sunshine to receive in the middle of my work day. My Dane has some dog reactivity and I am grateful for Thomas’s ability to work around his needs. Thomas has been walking him for two weeks now and I will happily keep booking him for as long as I can.”
“Ican't say enough good things about karima! She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and always go above and beyond to make sure my dog, Bruno is well-exercised and happy. I especially love the daily updates and photos they send during the walk, which gives me so much peace of mind while I'm at work."”
“We had such a great experience with Melanie! She took great care of our pup, played with him, and made sure all his needs were taken care of. We will be rebooking again!”

“Michelle is amazing! Michelle took Charlie last minute (literally) to help me out as I had to cover a shift at work. I went with Michelle because we were fortunate to have her walk Charlie earlier this year when I had to go to New York for work. Michelle’s has shown the same consistent care and communication both times. She’s great and make sure to book her if you want to ensure your pet is well taken care of.”
“Ashely was great and very considerate of Grey being a bit nervous for her first walk. Ashley shared some great pictures and updated me each day she came by to walk Grey. Thanks, Ashley!”
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life. Growing up I had the main responsibilities of walking our dogs (shih tzu and Labrador) as well as feeding them. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and after college finally got my first dog! As a dog parent I understand what makes a great sitter: reliable, great communication, and a genuine love for dogs. I am excited to meet your dog and take care of him/her just like I would my own dog! Right now my weekends are completely free and my weeks vary from work from home to in the office depending on the day! I can be flexible when needed though! I have a great neighborhood to walk dogs in plus a nearby dog park. I will abide by your rules to make sure your dog feels at ease the entire time.
