Highly-rated overnight sitters - Margate
“Tom, understand about dog behavior. I liked how he sent me pictures and really fast responses when asked how my baby was doing. I would certainly recommend him. Thank you Tom!”
“We had a great experience booking with Judy. She and her kids received Chloe with plenty of love and gave updates without having to request. During our week away, we received lots of pictures and reassurance that our baby was enjoying herself. Once back, pick up was easy, all her things were folded and bagged like when they received her. She came home happy and healthy. Our last experience with a different sitter, our dog had a big allergic reaction and ended up costing us a lot in medical bills. Glad to know that she was in good hands with Judy. Will definitely book again.”
“We loved leaving our Belgium Malinois (Delta) with Edith. She was so sweet with our baby and we can tell Delta loved her stay with Edith. She would send us videos, pictures and text to let us know how Delta was doing. The best part is that she kept an eye on her all the time. We are definitely booking her services again. Thanks Edith for everything”
“I left my dog with Ely for a week through Rover and was very happy with the experience. From the first day it was clear that Ely truly loves animals and knows how to care for them. My dog adapted quickly and felt calm and comfortable. Ely regularly sent photos and updates, so I never worried and always knew how things were going. When I picked my dog up, she was well cared for, active, and in a great mood. It was obvious she received a lot of attention and kindness. I would gladly leave my dog with Ely again and highly recommend her as a responsible and reliable dog sitter.”
“I always leave my baby Greystone with Coreen. She always keeps me updated with awesome pictures and my pup LOVES going to her house, they are his second family 💕 I highly recommend Coreen and Greystone has stayed with her numerous times… I don’t trust anyone else!”
“Sandra and family were wonderful sitters for our dog! This was the first time we used the family and we chose them due to their great reviews. Sandra was lovely, asked all the perfect questions, was responsive, and was so kind to our dog. Our dog is very much in someone's lap constantly, and can be anxious, yet their family embraced her and sounded excited to see her sometime in the future. She was great at keeping in touch, her children were wonderful sitters themselves, and we were so thankful to have found them!”
“I can’t recommend Eduardo enough! He took such great care of Sam while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and consistent. He kept us updated with messages, photos, and even a few videos that really put our minds at ease.”
“Hugo & Austin were very friendly and accommodating with my schedule for an overnight stay. Jasper came home happy, healthy and exhausted from the morning's trip to the dog park!”
“I left my frenchie with Sian for 2 weeks and she took great care of him. She consistently sent pictures and videos and was very responsive! I’d highly recommend her and would use her in future dog boardings :)”
“Ximena was amazing with Neptune. He was made to feel like a king and felt at home the entire time. He had constant attention and love. We received daily updates to include pictures and videos. We couldn’t have been more happy with the care they provided to our baby. Thank you so much.”
“It’s always a relief when Jessica and Annmarie can watch Kyson while I’m out of town. They keep me updated and even got him a big bone to chew on! Nothing but good things 😊”
“Absolutely adorable family! It’s already second time I leave my dog with them. My pup is crazy! He is hyperactive, but they managed to take an amazing care of him! Definitely recommend!”
“Ashley was wonderful again! She took such great care of our dog and provided us plenty of updates. We love knowing that Cooper is in good hands while we’re away. :)”
“My pup was left in the BEST care he could ever get!! I was so pleased, I can definitely tell my dog had such an AMAZING time!! Top Tier service!! Amazing level of care!! Would highly recommend!! :)”
“Tristian and his family are awesome and super accommodating. Nyala has stayed with them twice now, I can travel worry free knowing she is taken care off ! Highly recommend!”
“These two are a god send. Gave me such peace of mind and treated Kingston as if he was their own. Communicated with me all weekend while I was away and sent me tons of pictures as well. You guys are phenomenal people, Kingston will be back.”
“This was my first time using the Rover app, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jasmine truly made it special. I needed someone to care for my sweet Riley at the last minute, and Jasmine was not only available but also incredibly accommodating. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cared about Riley and treated her like her own. It’s clear she has a natural gift with animals, and I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Jasmine went above and beyond by even washing Riley’s bed and sheets, something I didn’t expect but deeply appreciated. When I came back, Riley was so happy and well cared for, I could see that she had been given all the love and attention she deserves. Jasmine, you’ve turned a stressful situation into a heartwarming experience, and I’m so grateful to have found you!- with love from Riley and Marquel ❤️”
“Mary was such a delight to deal with. This was my dog first time and she made it easy and even scheduled a meet to make sure my Nova was comfortable. She gave me updates and encouraged me to provide anything that would make it easier for my dog stay.”
“My Maui Girl had a ball at Justin’s. She got to play with other dogs and Justin sent pics and videos of her having a blast. My dog has food and environmental allergies and Justin was able to give her the allergy meds and make sure she stayed away from food that wasn’t hers. He responded quickly to all of my check ins - I never worried once. I will definitely use him again. ❤️ Thanks, Justin for keeping my girl entertained.”
“Alexis and Alex were wonderful with our two baby girls. Alexis sent us pictures and videos every day while we were away and worked with our 11 month old German Sheppard Duchess the entire time to draw her out of her fear of other dogs. By the last day our girls were with them, Alexis finally got Duchess to go out in the back yard and interact with all the other pups. We are truly grateful for the love and care they were given while we were away, and will definitely be booking with them again!”

“I was so nervous leaving my 2 cats overnight at someone’s home(it was my first time ever). I have to say I’m very pleased and happy with how everything turned out. Aleanna and her partner are amazing, she sent cute pictures everyday, played with them, updated me and my partner on how they were adjusting, and she kept their litter box and bowls cleaned. I would definitely recommend Aleanna, your pet is in good hands!”
“Bridget was exceptional! From the very first moment Dante, my cat, met her, my boy felt at ease — which is rare, because he’s usually shy and tends to hide. But with Bridget, it was different. She has such a kind and calming presence that he immediately felt comfortable. She was wonderful throughout the entire experience. She kept me constantly updated and even sent me pictures, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares. I highly recommend her — your pets will be in loving and responsible hands. I’m absolutely sure I’ll reach out to her again the next time I need help. Thank you so much, Bridget!”

“Ariela was awesome with my cat! She made sure to send plenty of photos and videos so I didn’t have to worry about him while on vacation. She was easy to communicate with and I would definitely book her again! 10/10 highly recommended 🐈⬛”
“My cat had a wonderful time with Rosanne. She kept me regularly updated with pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. I always knew he was in the best hands and that he was doing very well. That truly helped me relax and enjoy my trip. I will definitely come back to Rosanne for my next trip!”
About: I grew up in a cat-loving family and am very familiar with their care and unique personalities. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and clients have trusted me to check in on their cats for feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every cat is different. Some love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence - and I always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Maya was wonderful with our Bulldog Bruno. She was consistently on time for her drop-in visits, is very mature and responsible. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”
“Maureen was so attentive, punctual and caring. I strongly recommend her. She always sent me pictures and went above and beyond to feed my stray kitty. I’m so glad I found her! If you want someone responsible and that really cares, she’s the one! I can’t thank her enough.”
“gabriella was great with my frenchie! she watched him for a couple of days, took him on lots of walks, and kept me updated the whole time. very communicative and reliable. i’d absolutely book her again!”

“Royiesa made my week! She was very helpful during the booking process (as I was a first time Rover user). She dropped in on my cat and it made my Thanksgiving trip stress-free. She was very sweet and cleaned up the food my cat decided to throw around the room, sent me pictures/videos of him, and let me know he was doing okay! If I ever need a cat sitter again, she will be my go-to! Highly recommend :) Thank you so much, Royiesa!”
“Kianna was great. She interacted very well with our cat and took great care of her. We also appreciated the instant and super friendly communication with Kianna. We highly recommend Kianna.”
“Once again, Marianne was my lifesaver! I went away for three days, and she was there to take care of my kitty cats. I’m so grateful and thankful for her wonderful service. She kept me updated with pictures, and it was clear my cats were happy and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind while I was away.”
About: Cats/kittens gravitate towards me because I have very good energy. I love playing and petting cats/kittens, especially when they start purring; because that lets me know they are definitely enjoying the love.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Margate
“Alexis took very good care of my little boy Scotty! She was very caring and knowledgeable of dog behavior. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a dog sitter. I will be rebooking soon! Thank you Alexis!”
“Angus home away from home! 🩵 we trust this family two thousand percent! Angus has the time of his life and I love seeing the updates! We cannot thank them enough ☺️”
“My dog, Leia, had an absolute blast playing with Sharie and her furry friends!! I loved all the pictures and videos of Leia living her best foggy life. We will definitely be using Sharie again!!”
“We left Tanner with Carla all day, 8:30a - 5p…..Carla says he played his heart out. He was sooo dirty, but he’s a dog….he got a good bath as soon as he got home. We will be using Carla again.”
“Fendi stayed with Edith while I was out of town for one day. I was apprehensive because I wasn't sure how he would behave with her and other dogs. Since the pandemic, we usually just stay home and he is very attached to me. I needn't have worried. He had a ball with Edith and his new girlfriend, Coco. Edith sent me pictures of them and progress reports during that day. A great weight has been lifted off my shoulders by finding Edith. She instills trust and is very knowledgeable about doggie behavior. Her home is well equipped for taking care of our most beloved members of the family. Although it still may not be too often, I can, now, schedule trips without worry. I thank Edith from the bottom of my heart.”
About: Pets are family, and I’m passionate about providing the individualized care they deserve. With over 10 years of experience in pet care and dog training, I’ve learned how important it is to truly understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. It’s more than just feeding them or taking them for a walk. For me, it’s about creating a safe, nurturing environment, building relationships founded on trust, and helping every pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy enough to truly thrive. I believe clear communication with pet parents is just as important as the care itself, so you always feel connected and at ease while your pet is with me. I work remotely and part-time for a puppy training company, which gives me the flexibility to be present, attentive, and spend lots of quality time with your fur-babies. I tailor my care to each pet and the specific service you book, whether that’s drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding or daycare. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet’s basic needs are fully met - fresh water, feeding (if needed), potty breaks, and a clean, comfortable environment. Beyond that, I spend quality time with them through play, enrichment, or simply providing calm companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and training level. I reinforce good leash manners using positive reinforcement and make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. In your home, I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, since that’s what helps them feel most secure. I’m very mindful of your space, follow all care instructions closely, and provide updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have watched my friends pets when they have gone on vacation. I personally feel that animals are way better than humans, how can you not love an animal? Your animal will be well taken care of with me! I am honest/trustworthy, personable and will treat your pet as if he/she were my own. I work from home M-F during the day. I live across the street from a park and I live in a pet friendly neighborhood. It would be nice to go on walks to break up the monotony of the day if your dog boarded with me. I play volleyball in the neighborhood parks and would be happy to bring the pooch with me to get some fresh air. I also have a large enclosed patio if your dog wants to chill outside. He/she will be safe on my watch. I have a large fenced in outdoor patio. I do have a cat named Denver that knows all the dogs in the neighborhood. He sleeps all day in the master bedroom and then comes and goes via kitty door in the evening. Your pet can easily coexist at my place. And if you prefer that your pet stay at your home so as to not disrupt their routine, I can always make those accommodations since I work remotely and have a lot of autonomy owning my own business. I work full time from home 8-430. Typically after work, I’ll work out at home or go to the park to play volleyball or pickleball for some exercise. I have a large fenced patio in a development that has plenty of grass and small canals with lots of wildlife. Very nature oriented; your dog will get to sniff new smells!
“This is the 2nd time I used Judy for Stitch and she is the best! My dog has come home happy and tired each time I have left him with her and her family. She send plenty of pictures and video so you have peace of mind. She is a dog whisperer so your pet will be in excellent hands! I highly recommend her…”

“Xico can speak, but it looked like he had a good time with Sian and her dog Chulo. He can come and slept throughout the night. Thank you Sian for taking care of my precious fur-son!”
About: I had dogs since I’ve been a kid, I worked boarding and walking dogs, always interested in pet training getting knowledge as an autodidact person. For services of walking , sitting, or dog care I am available seven days a week, and the time is upon the requirement of pet owner. As a dog walker I’ll treat the pup in the natural way, so they will make exercise in natural conditions. Otherwise, a dog that use to be indoors need to get free of the stress, using it’s natural senses. It means walking a dog is not only for exercise, but very important, for mental health of the dog.

I have a very large fenced in yard for your dog to run and play. I also have my own fur baby to help keep your baby company. I don't crate my small French bulldog but i do have a large crate big enough for a 70 pound dog just in case your dog needs it.

About: I’ve been responsible for walking my neighbor’s dog since I was ten, which taught me early how to handle different behaviors, stay consistent with routines, and make pets feel safe and comfortable. I also care regularly for my grandmother’s cats and have a kitten of my own, so I’m experienced with both canine and feline care, including feeding schedules, litter maintenance, play engagement, and reading body language. Pet care is one of my favorite parts of the day. I build their routines right into mine, whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, and plenty of playtime and affection in the evenings. I’m consistent with feeding times and love making sure each pet gets personalized attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully. I stick to the pet’s usual scheduled feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and playtime. I check water bowls, tidy up any messes, and make sure doors and gates are always secure. I also provide detailed updates and photos so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: My partner and I, proud pet parents to our cat Gustavo, truly understand how hard it can be to leave your furry family members behind. Every time we’re away from him, we miss him deeply—and that empathy drives the love and care we provide for every pet. As verified pet sitters through Rover, you can feel confident knowing your pets are in safe, trusted hands. IG: itsthatcat_gustavo We offer a few different setups so your kitty can feel right at home: Single Room Stay – A full, cozy bedroom for up to 3 cats from the same household. Each bedroom has its own personal window for bird‑watching and sunbathing. Double Suite Stay – Both full bedrooms reserved for your cats (up to 6 from the same household). Full House Stay – The entire space reserved just for your kitty, so they can enjoy the whole house to themselves. In addition to their bedrooms, cats have access to shared spaces with plenty of windows, toys, and cozy spots to relax. Pricing does vary depending on the setup, and we’re happy to go over details so you can find the best fit for your cat. To keep everyone safe and healthy, we kindly require proof that any cat staying in our home is up to date on their core vaccines (such as rabies and FVRCP). If your kitty spends time outdoors, we also recommend keeping them on flea prevention before their stay. We’ll request this information in advance of your booking—thank you for helping us create a safe and cozy environment! My partner and I both work a 9–5 schedule Monday through Friday, and one of us works hybrid. Outside of those hours, we're usually at home with my partner’s two parents, who also live with us. For cat boarding, this means your cat gets extra loving attention from all of us throughout their stay. For other services like drop-in visits or dog walking, we will provide care and attention during scheduled times to make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. We focus on timely meals, proper feeding schedules, snacks, hygiene, grooming, and fun playtime with toys and activities, ensuring every pet feels happy and loved.
About: I’ve always had dogs when I was growing up. Cared for my black mini schnauzer Malu until she was 13 and passed away. She was the love of my life! Recently I’ve been dog sitting for close friends off and on. I’m a full time teacher with time off to play with your pups! Im available for boarding on weekends and week days after 3:00 pm. Plus summer break! I live in a 2 bedrooms house, in a nice neighborhood and near a small park. No yard (unfortunately). I’m an active, dedicated and trustworthy human who loves animals and nature. I’ll be a great company to your fur baby!
“It was a blessing to find Gabriella. Very detailed, helpful, and amazing with my pets. Always went above and beyond what I could have asked for. Had her on a repeat schedule and was grateful with how she accommodated when I would need to shift my schedule around at the last minute. Will always use her in any future pet needs. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Ari is so good with Bradi and Bradi is always excited to see her. Perfect match. You can tell Ari is an animal lover I couldn’t have found a more trustworthy person to walk my 4-legged child. I recommend her without reservation.”
“Aleanna did such an amazing job with my pups! She was able to accommodate my last minute bookings, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she truly cares. Thank you again, I will definitely be booking with you again!”

About: 💕 About Me & Pet Experience Hi, I’m Jessica, but most people know me as Aunty Jess — your friendly, reliable pet sitter from Margate, Florida. I’m 24 years old and currently studying Veterinary Technology at Broward College. My passion for animals started when I was very young, and it’s grown into something that truly defines who I am today. I’ve spent several years caring for pets, including small and medium-sized dogs, playful puppies, calm seniors, and cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve also cared for smaller pets like fish and shrimp — I even have my own aquarium! My experience ranges from everyday walks and feedings to maintaining consistent routines that keep pets calm and happy while their owners are away. For several years, I boarded up to six dogs at a time in my home, managing different breeds, schedules, and personalities with patience and care. It taught me how to balance structure with affection — making sure every dog received attention, exercise, and love. Some of my clients became repeat customers, trusting me multiple times with their pets, which means a lot to me and shows how dependable and compassionate I am with every animal I meet. I also used to have my own dog, who I adored deeply. Due to house rules, I had to rehome him, but I made sure he went to a loving family filled with care, stability, and affection. That experience strengthened my understanding of responsibility and the emotional bond between people and their pets. Now, I focus on offering House Sitting and Dog Walking so I can give pets one-on-one attention and personalized care in the comfort of their own homes. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety or stress, so I always create a calm environment and follow their normal routines to help them feel safe and loved. Through my studies in Veterinary Technology, I’ve learned how to recognize signs of stress, discomfort, or health concerns early on. I know how to approach each animal with patience, empathy, and care — whether it’s during walks, feeding time, or bedtime. I take pride in being organized, trustworthy, and consistent, with a genuine love for all animals big and small. My goal as Aunty Jess is simple: to make sure every pet I care for feels loved, safe, and happy — just like they would if you were home. 🕓 Schedule I like to keep my schedule transparent and well-organized so pet parents know exactly when I’m available and how I plan my days around your pets’ needs. I’m currently a Veterinary Technology student at Broward College, and I’ve built my class routine to make sure every pet in my care still gets the love, attention, and time they deserve. Here’s my weekly availability: 📅 Monday – Wednesday: I’m in class for about 3 hours during the day, but I’m available after 3:00 PM for house sitting and dog walking. Before leaving for class, I always make sure pets are fed, walked, and comfortable so they feel relaxed while I’m away. When I return, I give them my full attention for evening care, playtime, and cuddles. 📅 Thursday: I have a short 2-hour class during the day, so my availability is very flexible. I’m free after 3:00 PM and can provide walks, meals, and plenty of evening companionship. 📅 Friday – Sunday: These are my fully open days, which means I’m completely available for full-day and overnight house sitting. I dedicate these days to giving your pets my full focus — walks, playtime, meals, and comfort throughout the day and night. I always plan my week carefully to make sure your pets’ needs come first. Even on class days, I maintain structure and consistency by following their normal schedule as closely as possible. You’ll receive daily updates with photos or videos, so you always know how your pets are doing. Your pet’s well-being and routine are always my top priorities — I’m committed to keeping them safe, loved, and happy every day of the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet I care for. I know that when you choose someone to look after your pets and your home, you’re putting a lot of faith in them — and I take that responsibility very seriously. You can always count on me to treat your space and your pets with respect, care, and honesty. As a vet student, I have knowledge of basic animal health, safety practices, and behavior management, which helps me create a calm, comfortable environment for every pet. I make sure water bowls are always full, leashes and collars are properly fitted, and that pets are supervised closely during walks or outdoor time. If a pet seems anxious or uncomfortable, I know how to respond gently and reassure them until they relax. I also understand how important your home is. When house sitting, I always keep things clean, organized, and secure — the way you left them. I lock doors, follow your household instructions, and never invite anyone over. My goal is to make your home feel just as peaceful for your pets as it does when you’re there. Trust is built through communication, so I send daily photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a morning walk, nap time, or dinner, I keep you informed and confident that everything is going smoothly. Your pets’ safety and emotional comfort always come first with me. With Aunty Jess, you can feel completely at ease knowing your pets are cared for with love, patience, and a calm environment that feels like home.
About: We have plenty of love in our house for your dog and will treat your baby like family. I have experience pet sitting my friends, coworkers, and neighbors dogs. I mostly pet sit in my home but I am not against checking in on your pet(s) if better for you. I have experience giving oral medications and providing TLC. I love playing with dogs and walking them. If you allow, my town has a dog park that I would take my dog to play at. I know it can be stressful to find a good pet sitter that you trust. Know, that your pet will receive plenty of attention in my home. I have everything your pet needs, beds blankets, leashes, crates (if required) and toys. Just drop your dog off with my family and enjoy your time away knowing that your baby is in good hands. I will send photos We are available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays. My girlfriend and I manage the boarding in our home together. We have the flexibility to have time to give your pups the attention they need. We have a fenced yard with pool and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed...
About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds since I was young, including two dogs and my own cat. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors, friends, and family, ensuring they’re fed, walked, and happy. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for two consecutive summers, gaining hands on experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’m comfortable with young puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, and I treat every animal with love and patience. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a full-time student at FSU with a part-time job, I manage my schedule carefully and have plenty of availability. I don’t have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me large blocks of free time, and even on class days I have breaks that allow me to check in, play with, and care for pets. I also have open weekends, so I’m able to dedicate as much time as needed to ensure pets are well cared for, active, and happy. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and energy level to understand what they need, whether that’s a walk, playtime, or simply companionship and a calm presence. My goal is to create a trusting environment where pets feel relaxed, attended to, and happy.
“Steve did an amazing job, he was so kind and very communicative. He made sure my babies got the best care, my dog isn’t the easiest and he made sure he got everything he needed and that I was constantly updated. I would recommend using him and glad I found someone I can really trust.”

About: Ever since I was young I had duties taking care of animals, I've always loved them. My house always had a pet and other relatives as well so I grew up in a pet-friendly environment. I know how to interact with them and how to take care of them, adapting to their needs and personalities. Throughout my life I've had dogs, birds, fishes, bunnies and for a short time a kitten(although I have volunteered for 5mo in a cat shelter). My house-sitting style is built around a consistent, daily routine that works well for independent pets who are comfortable with a standard schedule. Whether it is a weekday or a weekend, I have personal and professional obligations that take me out of the house for several hours during the day. However, I always prioritize quality time in the mornings and evenings for feedings, walks, and play, and I always stay overnight in your home to ensure your pet is safe and settled. Please note that I do not provide 24/7 'constant care,' as I maintain an active schedule throughout the week, but I am dedicated to making sure your pet’s day-to-day needs are fully met! As of now I do not offer daycare in my house. However, if there's a job I'll make sure to talk with you so you can tell me all about your babies and their specific needs!
“Ariella is wonderful, attentive and caring. She was prompt and communicative throughout the walks and flexible with my schedule. I highly recommend Ariella for any pet caring services!”

“Tom, understand about dog behavior. I liked how he sent me pictures and really fast responses when asked how my baby was doing. I would certainly recommend him. Thank you Tom!”
“We had a great experience booking with Judy. She and her kids received Chloe with plenty of love and gave updates without having to request. During our week away, we received lots of pictures and reassurance that our baby was enjoying herself. Once back, pick up was easy, all her things were folded and bagged like when they received her. She came home happy and healthy. Our last experience with a different sitter, our dog had a big allergic reaction and ended up costing us a lot in medical bills. Glad to know that she was in good hands with Judy. Will definitely book again.”
“I left my dog with Ely for a week through Rover and was very happy with the experience. From the first day it was clear that Ely truly loves animals and knows how to care for them. My dog adapted quickly and felt calm and comfortable. Ely regularly sent photos and updates, so I never worried and always knew how things were going. When I picked my dog up, she was well cared for, active, and in a great mood. It was obvious she received a lot of attention and kindness. I would gladly leave my dog with Ely again and highly recommend her as a responsible and reliable dog sitter.”
“I always leave my baby Greystone with Coreen. She always keeps me updated with awesome pictures and my pup LOVES going to her house, they are his second family 💕 I highly recommend Coreen and Greystone has stayed with her numerous times… I don’t trust anyone else!”
“Hugo & Austin were very friendly and accommodating with my schedule for an overnight stay. Jasper came home happy, healthy and exhausted from the morning's trip to the dog park!”
“Ximena was amazing with Neptune. He was made to feel like a king and felt at home the entire time. He had constant attention and love. We received daily updates to include pictures and videos. We couldn’t have been more happy with the care they provided to our baby. Thank you so much.”
“It’s always a relief when Jessica and Annmarie can watch Kyson while I’m out of town. They keep me updated and even got him a big bone to chew on! Nothing but good things 😊”
“Ashley was wonderful again! She took such great care of our dog and provided us plenty of updates. We love knowing that Cooper is in good hands while we’re away. :)”
“My pup was left in the BEST care he could ever get!! I was so pleased, I can definitely tell my dog had such an AMAZING time!! Top Tier service!! Amazing level of care!! Would highly recommend!! :)”
“This was my first time using the Rover app, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jasmine truly made it special. I needed someone to care for my sweet Riley at the last minute, and Jasmine was not only available but also incredibly accommodating. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cared about Riley and treated her like her own. It’s clear she has a natural gift with animals, and I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Jasmine went above and beyond by even washing Riley’s bed and sheets, something I didn’t expect but deeply appreciated. When I came back, Riley was so happy and well cared for, I could see that she had been given all the love and attention she deserves. Jasmine, you’ve turned a stressful situation into a heartwarming experience, and I’m so grateful to have found you!- with love from Riley and Marquel ❤️”
“My Maui Girl had a ball at Justin’s. She got to play with other dogs and Justin sent pics and videos of her having a blast. My dog has food and environmental allergies and Justin was able to give her the allergy meds and make sure she stayed away from food that wasn’t hers. He responded quickly to all of my check ins - I never worried once. I will definitely use him again. ❤️ Thanks, Justin for keeping my girl entertained.”
“Alexis and Alex were wonderful with our two baby girls. Alexis sent us pictures and videos every day while we were away and worked with our 11 month old German Sheppard Duchess the entire time to draw her out of her fear of other dogs. By the last day our girls were with them, Alexis finally got Duchess to go out in the back yard and interact with all the other pups. We are truly grateful for the love and care they were given while we were away, and will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Gregory is the best and most responsive dog sitter I’ve ever entrusted my dog with. I have to travel for work often and it makes my life so much easier knowing the pup is so well taken care of!”
“Kelly was wonderful and took the best care of our active 12 year old Shorty Jack Russell. He can be a handful (!) and enjoyed hanging out with her. We will definitely be in touch for other stays soon. Thank you Kelly!”
“We had an amazing experience with Kelly. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. They were professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about our dogs’ well-being.”
“Kevin and Diossana took care of my dog during the past long weekend. They sent me pictures and updates daily. My dog was happy and started eating from the very first day, which is an indicator that he was confortable in their environment. I definitely recommend them, and I'll call them next time I have to travel.”
“Eduardo was great with my dog, Toby! He sent me videos and updates every day, which made me feel really good. I could tell Toby had a great time and was very happy. I know he was in good hands. Eduardo truly cares about the dogs he watches. We will definitely book Eduardo again! Thank you 😊”
“Carla was amazing with our dog! She is a really sweet person and takes great care of your pets. She sends you pictures and videos during the day and answers pretty quickly. Thank you Carla, you are the best!”
“My boy Finn was very happy for his stay with Gheraldine and her boyfriend. She was very attentive, I received pictures and videos twice a day, and she messaged me showing that she cares a lot for her dogs that she sits.”
“Morgan was an excellent sitter. I could tell Brody was comfortable in her home as soon as we went for the initial meet & greet. When I dropped him off for his stay I felt 100% confident that he would be safe and happy. Morgan kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout his time with her. I will definitely be reaching out to her whenever I need a sitter for Brody and already have another stay scheduled! It feels good to be able to go away knowing he will be very well taken care of and treated like part of the family.”
