“Rita took excellent care of my Angelo in her home. He can be slow to warm up to people, but she quickly won him over and they had a great visit! He especially loved relaxing in her yard.”

“this was the first time we left our dog for more than a week and our first time using Rover.com. We couldn't be happier with Andres and his care for our dog. We received multiple pictures while we were away which helped us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was enjoying his stay. Thanks, Andres! We will definitely contact you again.”
“Sherry was very communicative, accommodating for an energetic puppy, and went above & beyond with treats! Mila was treated like the princess she is. I appreciated the transparency and patience she provided. I would leave her with Mila again in a heartbeat (and will again soon!).”

“This was our first time using a dog sitter through Rover and Patti did not disappoint!!! I received multiple pictures each day with an update on how my pup was doing. Patti opened her house up to him and even took him to the park, on walks, etc. I’ve already set up another time for our little guy to stay. Thanks so much Patti!”


“Marissa is my go-to sitter for my pup, Layla. She is quick to answer, provides updates, and reaches out for any concerns. I have booked with her several times now and always feel better when traveling knowing Lay is in the best hands!”

“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Nick and his family! Nick was very flexible with pickup/drop off timing and sent us regular updates on how things were going. It seemed like our pup was right at home and enjoyed participating in all kinds of activities. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!”


“Chyann, was an amazing sitter for my baby. Beanie stayed with her for a week and throughout the entire stay she kept me updated with pictures and insight into how he was doing. She’s one of the more informed sitters on this platform and following our meet-and-greet I was completely sold on choosing her as a sitter. With the updates, smooth transition for drop-off, and Chyann’s warm personality I was completely at ease and confident throughout the boarding process. I’d definitely recommend choosing Chyann!”


“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”

“Our pittie Luna loves staying with Joey. He takes phenomenal care of her and she loves playing with all her doggie friends. This is the 2nd time we have booked with him for long term stay for vacation(8 nights). He always updates us multiple times a day so that we know she is doing well. We hate leaving her so the updates give us peace of mind while we are away. Joey is the offical dog whisperer and we are very glad to have found him.”


“Bronwyn was an excellent sitter. She treated my dog, Dash, like her own family. She updated me with pictures and captions all day so I could see how much fun he was having. I could relax and enjoy what I was doing because I knew he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her services and will definitely re-book with her.”
“Brian was an amazing host for our dog. He was very communicative throughout the stay and shared many pictures and updates. Our dog was very well cared for and had a lot of fun with the family and other dogs. Will absolutely have our dog stay with Brian again.”

“Stephanie and Joshua were fantastic. I could see from the photos that my Bailey was enjoying his time with them. I would highly recommend them and hope the next time I need boarding they are available.”

About: I have a house where I can provide individual or group care for dogs. I co-own a dog named French Fry, who has been a significant part of my training experience. I am available for boarding on weekends, starting Saturday morning and continuing until either Monday or Tuesday evening. Additionally, I have availability during certain holiday periods. I have a partially fenced-in yard and a metal crate available for dogs if needed. I follow any instructions that pet owners provide. I have a peace and calm environment for dog care.
“Jessica took great care of my girl Cora. She is super sweet and I could tell Cora made herself right at home. Her kitty was also part of the welcoming committee 😂. She was flexible on drop off/pick up times. I would definitely use Jessica’s services again!”

“Alberta took great care of our dog, Mimi! She was responsive, friendly, and made sure Mimi was comfortable and happy while we were away. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”

“Amy and Cathy were wonderful! We have a special needs dog who is diabetic and they were great administering the medication and ensuring that she was doing well. We got regular updates from them and felt good being away that our dogs were in such good care.”
“Same day Boarding request for 2 puppies under 1 year old. Corey has a fenced yard, he provides photos and videos each day and keeps the puppies and their bedding very clean. My puppies came home with freshly washed bedding and their own baths! What a Treat!”

“I’m so happy I found Emily. I have used Rover in the past multiple times and this was the best experience I’ve had so far. I immediately felt good vibes from her when I met her. I was a little nervous since it was the first time I would be having someone come into my home and check in on my cat as I usually take him to a sitter’s home when I go away. However, after the second day, my cat started warming up to her and I felt a huge sense of relief. Emily sent updates and pictures everyday which I appreciated. She followed the little reminders and instructions I gave such as leaving the nightlight on at night and giving my cat a treat everyday. Emily even washed his lick mats before leaving. She left my home just as she found it with nothing out of place. Everything went great and I couldn’t be more pleased. You can tell that Emily has a genuine love for animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Emily again in the future. Thank you Emily, Pepper and I appreciate you!”


“Cassandra was amazing - we have already booked her for another stay. Our cat was hiding for 2 days in our rafters, and needed medication. Cassandra had to come back twice in a day and make some modifications to the litter tray and food set up for both cats so that our kitty could get her medications. 10/10 recommend.”


“Highly recommend!! Colleen was attentive to my cat going the extra mile to make sure she was happy and very we cared for. I can’t imagine leaving my cat or any other pet in better hands!”


“Jennifer was great!! She took amazing care of our kitties and we really appreciated the photos each day. She asked lots of questions to best understand their needs and we were definitely satisfied with her care :)”

“Colleen was wonderful!! She jumped in to help with our kitten last minute, and gave quick and helpful updates (with lots of pictures). I had complete peace of mind while away, and she did a great job!”


“Rita was fantastic! She was able to help take care of my cats last minute and I could tell they were well cared for! She left great photos and recaps of her visits. Would definitely recommend and will certainly use again!”


“Megan was wonderful! She gave my super senior boy extra attention and helped him deal with his first alone time since losing his companion of 16 years. Will definitely be rebooking with her!”

“Toni was so communicative and thorough in watching over my cats for a long weekend. She made sure that all their needs were met and kept them company for a couple times a day, which I think was super helpful to their mental well-being. I can't recommend her enough for anyone in this area!”

“Linda took great care of my kitty Betty, including making sure she got the daily exercise needed. During COVID, we did a video chat to meet which was perfect. I am so grateful she was available and will call her again.”
“Jeannette was fantastic! She took excellent care of our 2 fur-babies! Throughout her drop-ins, she sent photos and messages, giving us peace of mind. It was clear that Jeannette genuinely cares & made sure our kitties were happy, comfortable & well cared for. We will be booking Jeannette again & highly recommend her to take care of your pet .”

“She is amazing! super responsible and quick to respond. She treated my cats with so much care and kindness, and the regular photo updates after visiting gave me real peace of mind.”


“Mary took wonderful care of my Boston Terrier, Archie, for an extended period, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the level of care she provided. She arrived on time each day and shared plenty of updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Mary and would absolutely use her again.”


“Christa was amazing with my 2 kitties! She was very professional, communicative and shared lots of pics during her visits which put my mind at ease. I definitely recommend her and would hire again!”

“Thank you for taking such great care of Lady! We could tell by the pictures provided that she had a great time playing in the backyard and she looks forward to hanging out with you again soon!”

“Matt was awesome! Very communicative and helpful, and went above and beyond to help us out during a heatwave to make sure our Luna was safe. Highly recommend booking with Matt!”

“Incredible! Another great day for Pablo with Joseph. Lots of photos, great care and plenty of outdoor play time. It’s more like a vacation for Pablo only if he could express😊 thanks Joseph!”

“Cindi is phenomenal with Finn! He absolutely loves going to her house and playing with all the other pups. She spends time to personally to get to know you and your pup. Makes you feel comfortable leaving your pet there. He has become more social and well-behaved for a new puppy. happy to have found her and honestly Finn never wants to leave haha!”

“Dante was an amazing caretaker! I received photo updates throughout her stay as she got to enjoy playing with his lil Frenchie. I received a lovely report upon pickup too, as she was smiling away!! She loved playing with tennis balls AND she didn’t tear up one of them!! THAT IS A MIRACLE!! My tennis balls have never survived a Belinda! Once Belinda and I arrived home, she went straight to sleep and snoozed all night. She had a GREAT day! Thank you so much, Dante, for your flexibility and for taking great care of my best girl!!”

About: I’m a devout animal lover with two dogs of my own and one cat. Caring for animals is truly one of my favorite joys in life! My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home when they’re in my care. Your baby will be well taken care of. I work remote so I am able to give your dog lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your pup will be able to take potty breaks every two hours in the fenced-in yard and spend time outside. We typically go for walks in the early morning and late evening. My pets are kept separate during boarding and they will have no interaction. Boarding & Daycare: My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home! I only board one dog at a time so that I can give them adequate, individualized attention all throughout the day.
About: I have given care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable with all personality types, and sizes. I also have experience with cats, as an owner and sitter. I currently am dedicated to pet care and services for the summer. Book me now! I currently work on a part time basis but I generally make my own schedule. I can dedicate as much time as needed to caring and playing with your pets! I put animals above most people. I have a fenced in yard. Leash always on if the door is open. Door always closed if the leash is off. I also have a pet first aid book and carry supplies on me.
About: I got my first dog when I was 18 years old. She was the sweetest pup I have ever met! Since then dogs have become an irreplaceable part of my life. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs & few dogs with behavioral needs. I have fostered dogs through the years and learnt how meaningful this experience can be. My last foster was a young adult who was a year old. Open to pets all day subjected to advance notice/short notice. I'm mostly home so I can be flexible with your routine and needs. A small heads up is always appreciated. I live in an apartment complex which is 5 mins away from 2 dog parks. I'll take your dog for daily exercise and morning, afternoon and evening. I live in a neighborhood which has lots of space to walk for regular/short walks. I have a 7 year old mild tempered female dog who will provide excellent care and comfort while you are away. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate.
About: Years of happy loving pet sitting! No hassle, great communication, very trustworthy! I will treat your pets like my very own! Minimum training if needed I I work part time so I have plenty of flexibility. I can do weekends, mornings, afternoon, overnights! The perfect place for when you decide to go on vacation. Your pets will be watched constantly throughout the time they are in my care. The environment is very clean and neat, and more importantly pet safe

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with 5 dogs. I’m very responsible and on-time, I am well versed as I have experience taking care of animals of all sorts such as dogs, cats, birds and horses. I am currently a student and enrolled in online courses and one person course. This allows for me to be home and care for dogs or cats tentatively throughout the week. Depending on the instructions of the owners, typically walk the dog(s) 2-3 times day, ensuring plenty of outdoor time. Along with making sure that they are fed at the time provided, if there is any medication a clear description provided by the owner with instructions is helpful.
“Jordana is one of the best! She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable as we left our Stella for the weekend. She sent photos and videos. Kept in contact with me throughout her walks. 100% recommend and I can’t wait to book her again in the future.”


About: I have several years of experience working in an animal hospital as a veterinary technician, where I cared for pets with a variety of needs and learned how to recognize changes in behavior, health, and comfort levels. My veterinary background has given me the skills and confidence to provide safe, attentive care, including administering medications and noticing when a pet may not be feeling their best. Outside of work, I’m a proud pet parent to two doggies and two wonderful cats, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I treat every animal like they are my own—with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, medication support, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, I’m committed to providing dependable and personalized care.🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely full-time from 2:30 PM–11:00 PM, which gives me plenty of availability in the mornings and early afternoons to dedicate time to animals. I would love to use that time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m a responsible and caring pet owner myself, and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets. I enjoy creating a calm, comfortable environment and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment where they feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and any special preferences they have. I treat every home and pet with respect, taking the time to build trust and make sure each animal feels comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and needs to help prevent any safety concerns.

About: Being a pet owner (of all types) most of my adult life has blessed me in ways I can't even put into words. I have looked after 8 week old puppies as well as cared for the elderly. It would be my honor to look after and care for your four-legged family members in the same way I would want my "kiddos" to be looked after. I will always put them first and I will ensure that they receive the same love and affection that they would receive from you during every visit/stay. I love to send my clients pictures during those days/nights that they are away, and give them that assurance that their pet is in good hands and is being well cared for.

“Chris was wonderful with my 5 year old French bulldog. I was very hesitant initially to use rover as my dog is very needy and high energy. He would usually go to doggy daycare while we are away to keep him occupied. However, a recent back injury prevented him from going. I hired Chris with very short notice. She took exceptional care of my dog, sent lots of photos and updates while we were away. She even went out of her way to make arrangements to stay an additional day when our flight home was canceled. It was wonderful and reassuring knowing that my dog was getting such great care and attention while we were gone. I would rehire Chris to watch my dog again in a heartbeat!”

“Nicolette took wonderful care of our 11 year old lab. She sent us adorable pics of him hanging out with her and Her German Pincer, Prince. We felt so comfortable with Nicolette and even more when we saw how well he adjusted and became at home - in her home. Can't recommend enough!”
