“Monica is amazing! We left Maximus at her house for the Memorial Day weekend, and he’s having the best time with other pups. Monica gives equal attention to all the puppies and sends videos every day. Would definitely come back again!”
“Lily took excellent care of my foster dog Harley while I was caring for another pet. She came home happy and and with extra toys! As a pet sitter myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Thank you Lily!”
“Chyanne was amazing with Piper! She sent the sweetest updates and photos, and Piper looked like she was having the best time. She absolutely loved playing with Chyanne’s dogs and settled in right away. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I’ll definitely book with Chyanne again — highly recommend! ❤️❤️”
“Yunju and her partner were the best dog sitters I could’ve hoped for. She sent me photos, videos, and updates multiple times throughout the day of their walks, meals and hang time and made sure our dog was loved on and cared for! She is very kind, super communicative, and fast to respond. She lives in a safe gated community with a dog park nearby. I would 100% recommend Yunju to anyone looking for fun and reliable pet care. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Anya had a great time and Logan and his family were wonderful hosts. She is excited to stay again with Nico sometime in the future, thank you so much for taking care of my baby girl!”
“Anais is a natural with dogs. Leon took to her and her daughter instantly and had fun hanging with her pup, Canvas. Highly recommend her and I know Leon is excited for his next visit!”
About: With 8+ years of pet care experience and 9 years as a dedicated dog mom, I bring practical, hands-on expertise to every visit. My background includes working alongside veterinary staff in high school, dog walking in college, and raising my own dog into their senior years. Pet care is my primary focus! I am available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for mid-day walks, potty breaks, and daytime companionship. Caring for my own 9-year-old dog keeps my day structured, allowing me to seamlessly match your pet’s exact routine while you’re busy during the workday. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel completely comfortable in their familiar environment. I strictly follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and administering any necessary medications. I treat your home with complete respect and safety in mind, making sure everything is clean and secure. Throughout every visit, I keep you updated with photos and detailed check-ins so you always have total peace of mind while you're away.
“North had a great stay. I loved all the pictures she sent of him. I’ve never used rover before and she made me more comfortable by sending the pictures. Will be booking again!”
“Kathleen is my favorite sitter. She’s so energetic, so kind, so attentive! Izzy always has a blast at her home! She has a great backyard for any pup run around. I could go on & on about her, so grateful for her care <3”
“What a loving and fun home for my pup to visit! Great yard and full roam of the house with super fun and attentive hosts. Patricia sent me photos, videos and text updates all weekend long. Highly recommend and will use again!”
“She was incredibly patient with my travel schedule and very flexible with arrangements. She truly embraced Dallas and his personality, and made the experience fun. I also really appreciated her consistent daily updates/photos.”
“Antonio is an amazing sitter! Very kind and respectful. I never had to worry about our dog because Antonio did such an amazing job with providing updates. Would highly recommend!”
“Samma and Richard are amazing hosts! They took care of my little puppy first few months when I had to go to work and she always had so much fun. Would give them 10 starts if i could!”
“Katie was awesome! She sent great photos and updates and it looked like Paisley was getting lots of love and attention! We also appreciated her communication and flexibility. We would definitely book again!”
“Kristen and Jason were great sitters to my girl Lulu. They were very communicative and sent photo updates. She looked like she was having a blast in every photo! I’ll definitely be booking with them again😊”
“So this is my first REAL time using ROVER and if all the sitters are like Oladapo then Rover is gonna make a ton of money. Oladapo was kind, accommodating, flexible and made me not feel horrible that I was leaving my dog to go on vacation because he was gonna love on my dog the same way I do. The pictures and video he gave me while I was away definitely helped. This guy is the definition of SERVICE WITH A SMILE. He picked up my crate and food and leash from my car and carried it to his apartment and I didmt lift a finger. When you add on that his services are priced reasonably compared to other sitters, Oladapo is a great choice when looking for a sitter”
“I can’t say enough good things about Audrey and Isaiah and the experience of them watching our 9-lb dog, Niko, for us. I was very concerned about our little rescue being with too many other dogs since he hasn’t been off leash with more than one since we’ve had him and it was so amazing to find such loving and experienced dog owners who happened to not have a dog of their own at home right now. I loved that they had their undivided attention to give to our pup. They were so attentive to detail and didn’t seem to mind when I showed up with so many of his things! I didn’t have to ask for updates or photos- they readily sent a few check-ins and multiple pics daily. They have an incredible back yard- super spacious and grassy and flat and they also took him on walks daily as well. The most amazing thing was that he ate and slept well when with them! In the 8 months we’ve had Niko he hasn’t eaten at all on the days we travel - I believe it shows how comfortable and well-taken care of he was with Audrey and Isaiah and I am so grateful. I would HIGHLY recommend them to care for your dog!”
“For a last minute booking they were so accommodating! I received pictures everyday to let me know my baby was well taken care of while I was away. I had no worries and will be using Wandie and Shawn again!”

“Enakshi was very communicative and helpful while I was away on my trip. I felt at ease knowing my cat would be getting care from her. She sent very detailed drop ins with descriptive pictures, I would recommend her to anyone with fur baby!”
“We are so thankful we found Cori and that she was able to take care of our special needs kitty in the wake of a medical emergency. She is a fantastic communicator and even caught a medication issue when I failed to update the instructions. Aside from that, you can tell she truly loves animals. She managed to befriend our notoriously untrusting and fearful kitty, which is quite a feat! It's a relief that we can leave our little old lady baby with Cori and know she's in good hands. 💖😸”
“Amy was an incredible cat sitter, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care she gave Luna. From the very beginning and throughout my entire trip, she maintained excellent communication, always responding quickly and providing detailed updates. She followed all the instructions I left for Luna with so much attention and care, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away for such a long time. When I came home, I could immediately tell that Luna was happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. She clearly never felt lonely or neglected, and it was obvious how much love and affection Amy gave her while I was gone. I am incredibly grateful for Amy’s professionalism, dedication, and genuine love for animals. Most importantly, I’m thankful for how wonderfully she treated my Luna. Knowing she was in such caring hands made being away from her so much easier. I would absolutely trust Amy with Luna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet as if they were her own. Thank you so much, Amy! ❤️”
“Shanese was awesome! I have cats, birds and a bunny and she took perfect care of all of them! She kept me updated everyday and took great care of my home and plants.”
“Alyssa took great care of our cat, even cooked salmon skin for her to have as a treat. We got several precious photos every day and enjoyed the daily updates!”
“Danelle is the best. She gives such clear updates and is so loving to our sweet cats. They clearly adore her and we are always so thankful for her help!!!!”
“I can not say enough good things about Mary! I had an emergency situation, and Mary was able to drop in at a last-minute notice and did a fabulous job of keeping me in the loop. My cat loved her, and I will be booking her in the future.”
“You are a gem! Thank you so much for the amazing job you did taking care of Mallie and Noche. You took such great care of them. Your twice daily reports after your visits were thorough and reassuring. Appreciate the extra care with giving Mallie her medicine and looked forward to the photo updates and all the flattering angles you captured. Will recommend you without hesitation, your care and professionalism shines! Thanks Again, Drew + Dee”
“Lauren was great with our 2 cats. During the initial visit she was very gentle and made an effort to become familiar with them. She also sent a follow up message that summarized everything that we discussed. It was very professional. She did a great job during the two visits and went above and beyond to make sure that the cats were taken care of. Highly recommended”
“I could actually enjoy my trip and not worry about my newly diagnosed diabetic cat while he was in the care of Madison. Butters is a big scaredy cat but despite his evasiveness she administered his insulin shots twice a day without fail and even gained his trust a bit. I will book again with Madison next time I leave town! Highly recommend.”
“Genevieve was fantastic! She did drop in visits for my cat for a week while we were away. She’s very personable and followed the instructions we left perfectly. She adjusted really well to my cat’s needs each day and even helped keep the house running smoothly while we were away. My cat was very well cared for and I’d definitely book again! Highly recommend her services if you’re considering booking.”
“This is my second time having Andrea watch my cat and what she did for Petey and my family was invaluable on so many levels. Petey was injured and we didn't know it, but it became clear that something was wrong while we were out of town and Andrea came back that day and spent hours of her evening and night with Petey at the emergency vet. Our kitty is doing better now and I am so grateful that Andrea was here and willing to do what was needed for her! Andrea is someone who truly cares about your pet, and is reliable and knowledgeable.”
“Saniya was amazing and took perfect care of our cats 😸💕 they are very shy so them coming out to greet here during her time at our home was shows the great energy she has. 100% recommend her!”
“Emma has been the best cat sitter we could ask for! She is extremely reliable and trust worthy, and has taken great care of our kitten while we were away, going above and beyond with playing with him and giving lots of photos and cute updates. Our kitten took an immediate liking to her. She also gave helpful updates on our home (e.g., fridge malfunction) and made sure our kitten was extra comfortable and happy. She will be our go-to in the future!”
“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and was able to accommodate me at the last minute. My cat was so happy to see her and had great time playing with her!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I grew up with dogs, so being around them comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also regularly care for my nephew (a high-energy Goldendoodle) and my niece (a small Papillon), so I’m comfortable handling both larger, active dogs and smaller breeds with different needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable—whether your dog needs lots of playtime, structured routines, or a calm, gentle approach. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work full-time, but I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I also work from home occasionally, which gives me extra flexibility for daytime care and check-ins. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine in their own home. I follow all instructions closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care—while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I adapt to each pet’s needs, whether they’re high-energy and need exercise or prefer a calm, relaxed visit.
“Lorien is awesome! She did daily drop-in visits for my pup, and he absolutely loved her. She’s caring, communicative, and took great care of my boy while I was at the office (always took great photos too). Highly recommend!”

“I dropped my puppy and left without a worry - Samma was sending constant updates through texts, pictures, and videos even without me asking. If you're looking for a great place to take care of your puppy, look no more as you won't find a better deal than this.”
“Erica and Andrew were timely with drop off and pick up coordination, great communicators, and sent lots of photos. I really appreciate the attention to detail and care for my senior doggie 💗💗💗”
“Camryn has been absolutely incredible! After having a bad experience with a previous pet sitter, I was so nervous about leaving my pup with anyone again. From day one, she completely put my mind at ease. Her communication is amazing, and she keeps me updated throughout the day with so many pictures and videos, which I absolutely love. She's also been so flexible and accommodating whenever I've needed it. The best part is how much Rocco loves spending time with her! Seeing how excited he is to be with Camryn and knowing he's happy, safe, and so well cared for gives me complete peace of mind. I truly couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I can't recommend Camryn enough!”
“Danielle was wonderful! She watched our dog Maru yesterday and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Maru was so happy and relaxed when we picked her up, you could tell she was showered with love, attention, and gentleness. Danielle is super responsive, caring, and you can really see she loves what she does. We felt completely at ease leaving Maru with her. Highly recommend!”
About: My husband and I are experienced dog owners in a multi-dog household, including both senior and high-energy dogs. We are calm, attentive, and intentional in our care, which helps dogs feel safe and settled quickly. We focus on structure, routine, and understanding each dog’s unique needs — not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is cared for as if they were my own. We intentionally limit the number of dogs we care for so each one receives personalized, thoughtful attention. Caring for dogs is already a natural part of our daily life. We live in a structured, dog-centered household and plan our days around consistent routines for walks, meals, playtime, and rest. I’m home regularly and attentive throughout the day, which allows us to provide hands-on care rather than leaving dogs unattended for long stretches. On a weekly basis, we maintain predictable rhythms that help dogs feel secure: consistent schedules, familiar routes, and clear expectations. Because this routine is already established with my own dogs, integrating additional dogs feels seamless rather than disruptive. We have a large fenced yard where your dogs can play either alone or with my pups. We have both younger, high energy dogs and a senior dog, so we can tailor the right fit with your pup. We live in a quiet neighborhood near two parks if your dogs prefer walks. We can administer medications and tend to minor medical issues like stitches/Elizabethan collars.
“They’re truly a gem. Each time my puppy goes there he’s well taken care of & comes back clean! I love how they care for him like he’s their own. They send updates throughout the day which is great & always share nice details about how my pup did. 10/10 would recommend!”
“My dog is always happy and tired after going to stay with Hope, and very happy to arrive. Hope is very fast to respond to messages and always sends photos. The yard is amazing!”
“Akeeme is AWESOME! We have booked both overnight boarding and daycare with him and he made us feel super comfortable each time we dropped off our pup. He shared updates and videos throughout the visit, was flexible with drop off and pickup times, very responsive every time we messaged, and overall treated our dog like his own. We are very grateful we found Akeeme!”
“There was a misunderstanding but we were able to work it out from both ends! We were also confident that Athena would be okay with Nora during the night. And as last time, Athena returned happy and healthy. Nora is nice and plays with Athena. She also took Athena to play with the kids in her neighborhood, which I really liked.”
About: Hi! I've never met a dog that didn't like me. I'm a lifelong dog dad and Atlanta native. I've worked with large and small breeds as well as young and elderly dogs that need extra care. No dog is too unruly. I'm kind, calm, and attentive. While you're on a beach somewhere in the Carribean, your dog/dogs will be having their own fun back at home. We're talking walks, snacks, playtime, photoshoots, and more. They will still miss you, but less probably. I work remotely from home and my schedule is flexible enough that I'm able to schedule plenty of visits and walks with your fur baby/s. I have a fenced in 1/4 acre yard, a lot of tennis balls, and my own fur baby, Cali. Depending on your dog's personality they will be really excited or really annoyed by Cali's happy, but overly enthusiastic energy.
About: I have years of experience and love animals! I volunteered at pet rescues and shelters. I also babysat pets before so I’m an all around care taker for animals. I can’t wait to see your fur babies!! I am self employed. I have my own fashion business that allows me to have free time to do other things I love to do such as this! I will basically go based off how your fur baby likes to be treated and also if you have any instructions that I can go by to make sure I’m doing the absolute best I would love that!
“Tevin provided superb care for my 9-month-old puppy over the holiday. During our initial meet & greet on the Beltline, he also demonstrated great skill in teaching my puppy how to walk, rather than pull, on a leash and to remain focused in a very overstimulating environment. I would absolutely recommend Tevin as a sitter and trainer for your dog. I look forward to working with him more in the future.”
“Deanna was amazing! She took such good care of our sweet girl. Even when I picked Izzy up, she was belly flopping for Deanna. It's clear that Izzy felt safe and cared for. I also really appreciated the updates on how Izzy was getting along with the other dogs. 💜”
About: House sitting for my neighbors! Travel worry-free knowing your home & pet are cared for. Need to travel but prefer bringing your pup to a trusted friend’s house with quiet accommodations? I can also board in my home, providing a safe and enjoyable place of rest and play. I sit for many of my friends & neighbors, including a 11 year old black lab with investigating skills to match any detective, to a 8 year old terrier mix who enjoys alone time. Cat sitting, golden retriever sitting, I have experience with it all! Having lost my old-man dog earlier this summer, I’ve wanted to continue to help care of young pups or old dogs or any age in between! I work from home, and have weekends free to hang out at home. I’ll make sure that your dog has at least one walk a day, and plenty of play time. For house sitting, I’ll bring my work with me so I can make sure your home and animals aren’t left alone for extended periods of time. I have a fenced yard and a gated front porch so we can watch the world go by! Does your old dog need help getting down the stairs? I have a doggie ramp ready for them to the backyard. Does your dog like having a place to watch out windows? A doggie stair case gives them a place to keep an eye on all the happenings. Comfy dog beds are available all over the house to make sure your pup is always comfortable. In your home, I’ll make sure your animal is kept safe the way you would do it!

“Ilaria walked Donut twice this week, and I would happily book her again in the future. She arrived on time, walked Donut for a full 30 min, and I came home to a happy dog. Thanks, Ilaria!”
“Thank you for walking him! I loved all the pics you provided as well. It’s not you! we’ve been working on the potty outside but he’s on his own agenda lol i appreciate it! let’s try again tomorrow if you’re free? same time?”
About: I’m back on Rover by popular demand! I took a break because I was lucky enough to have consistent clients and repeat pups who trusted me with their care since 2022. Over the years, I built amazing relationships with families and their dogs, but some of my furry friends have moved away with their humans, so I’m excited to open my schedule again and meet new pups! I’ve been called a “dog nanny” because I go beyond just walks and feedings. I truly care about making every dog feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat every pup like they’re my own and take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs. I have experience with training, reinforcing commands, and helping dogs build confidence through patience and positive attention. I have a special place in my heart for rescue and shelter dogs, especially those who may have had difficult past experiences and need extra time, compassion, and understanding to feel comfortable. Having cared for family dogs through all stages of life, including their senior years, I’m comfortable providing medication support, extra patience, and attentive care for older dogs. I also love keeping up with high-energy pups who need playtime, exercise, enrichment, and lots of engagement. Whether your dog is a playful puppy learning new commands, an energetic adventure buddy, a shy rescue learning to trust, or a sweet senior needing extra care, my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own pets. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and am open to last-minute requests when my schedule allows. As a dog owner, especially of larger breeds, I understand that life can be unpredictable and that sometimes you need someone reliable who can step in and make things easier. I value clear communication and transparency, so I’ll always be upfront about my availability and your pet’s care. I provide a calm, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel safe and at home. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I take time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort levels. My home is a quiet space where pets can relax, receive plenty of attention, and maintain a sense of normalcy while their owners are away. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection while also respecting when a dog needs quiet time to rest. As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each dog feels comfortable in my care.
“Danielle is the absolute best!! She’s a great communicator and takes care of my puppers very well. I’m so happy to have found her here. Thank you so much.”
About: New to Rover, but not to dogs! I have 14 years of experience caring for dogs: from raising my beloved Pinscher Coco to years of dog sitting and boarding dogs of all breeds and sizes. Sadly, I recently had to say goodbye to my baby and I’d love to share that same care, attention and love I gave her with your dog. ❤️🌈 I’m European and offer what I like to call a “European-style dog-sitting experience”: • One dog at a time. I only accept one dog (or dogs from the same household) at a time, so your dog gets my full attention and is cared for as if they were my own. • Plenty of proper walks. Two lengthy walks of at least 1hr each per day, usually in the park or on the Beltline, plus regular potty breaks. I will NOT go to dog parks until I know your dog very well- your pets safety always comes first. (Of course, everything is adjusted to your dog’s age, health and energy level) • Mental enrichment. Brain-stimulation toys, snuffle mats, treat puzzles, lick mats, playtime and other activities based on what your dog enjoys. • I work from home. I’ll be with your dog throughout their stay, with plenty of company, attention, cuddles, playtime and supervision. • Peace of mind for you. You’ll receive regular photos and updates throughout their stay, so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. • Just bring your dog! I provide everything needed for a comfortable stay: a spacious kennel, food & water bowls, toys, enrichment activities and treats, plus basic kibble if ever needed in a pinch. You’re of course always welcome to bring their favorite bed or toys from home; I just ask that you provide their usual food to keep their routine and diet consistent. I pride myself on offering a true dog retreat. Fair warning: your dog might not want to come home! 🐾😂 I work from home and am home about 90% of the time, which means your dog will have plenty of company, walks, playtime and attention throughout the day. I do occasionally step out for errands, groceries or a workout class. During those times, as well as overnight, your dog will be safely kenneled. For this reason, I can only accept dogs who are fully crate-trained and comfortable settling in their crate. I take this job incredibly serious. I know that for many of us, our dogs aren’t “just pets” - they’re family and often quite literally our babies 🐶❤️ I am First Aid/CPR certified and own a dog first aid kit. After every boarding visit I thoroughly clean and sanitize the space and toys with non-toxic cleaning supplies. Your pups safety, comfort and happiness always come first!
“Cori was a lifesaver when we needed someone to step in to walk our rather needy Boston Terrier. He warmed to her immediately and really enjoyed their outings. Will definitely call her again!”
“Saniya is super reliable! This is her third week caring for my Bella consistently four days a week. She is who I trust most with her. I highly recommend her for your pets needs!”
“Emma was wonderful, she helped us for a last minute situation and even stayed longer when our appointment went long. This was for a pet and pet owners she’s never met before! So lucky for us to meet her. She’s super kind and flexible, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her any time we need someone.”

About: I’ve had experience working with dogs for almost my entire life with about 10+ years of walking and sitting the dogs of many close family members and friends. I have previous experience taking care of senior animals, such as my 16 year old Westie Schnauzer who required daily shots of insulin. I currently have two 3 year old fur babies! One cuddly, curious Tabby cat and one playful, yet lazy mixed Shepard. Both of which are very chatty and opinionated at times! We’ve learned to speak each other’s languages through repetition and reward. Over the years, I’ve taught my Shepard a whole assortment of tricks that he loves to show off! During my visits, I like to really figure out what the dog wants to do whether that be going for long walks in the park, playing with toys for hours, or just chilling out on the couch getting cuddles. Any health requirements or specific treatment can be handled without any problem as long as I’m given prior notice and instruction. I am a freelance creative who enjoys being outside more than anything. Walking my own dog is the highlight of my day, and walking yours will just add to the fun! The mornings are prime time for me, however, I do have a very flexible schedule to attend to your fur babies! I personally am very particular about things in my home, so I will be sure to give that same respect to you! Dogs stay off the couch? No problem! Cat loves to scratch something they shouldn’t? I’m keeping an eye out! Any and all instructions will be held with the upmost care.
“Toney has been great with Sebastian. He was available last minute (same day!), is so sweet with my pup, and always sends me pics while they are on their walks. He even plays soothing music and brings special treats. I will definitely be using Toney again.”
About: My goal as your pet’s sitter is to maximize my time with them by being attentive to and anticipate your fur baby’s needs while their person is away. Growing up, I always loved animals and took care of hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am gentle and loving while allowing the animal to take the lead with contact. I always respect animals’ autonomy and will always strive to make them feel comfortable and safe. I am available to become your regular go-to sitter or a helping hand when you need one on occasion! My schedule is flexible and can accommodate your pet’s care as you need it to! Your furry family members are my top priority as you are away. I will ensure your pet sticks to their routine as you dictate it and feels comfortable despite your absence. Additionally, I will make sure to spend quality time with your pets so they don’t feel too emotionally distressed while their person is away.
“Hannah is an amazing dog walker. She has shown our dogs so much love and is incredibly consistent. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for any services for their pets.”
“Andrea is super nice and was amazing with our dog. Jack is sometimes not the easiest to get along with but Andrea made him feel like we hadn't even left. We will definetly be using Andrea in the future!!”
“Anisha is great! She did everything I asked and more for our little Tater Tot. She was efficient, asked the right questions, kept me updated and took photos. Will definitely be using her again.”

Caring for my own 9-year-old dog keeps my day structured, allowing me to seamlessly match your pet’s exact routine while you’re busy during the workday. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel completely comfortable in their familiar environment. I strictly follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and administering any necessary medications. I treat your home with complete respect and safety in mind, making sure everything is clean and secure. Throughout every visit, I keep you updated with photos and detailed check-ins so you always have total peace of mind while you're away.
“Kathleen is my favorite sitter. She’s so energetic, so kind, so attentive! Izzy always has a blast at her home! She has a great backyard for any pup run around. I could go on & on about her, so grateful for her care <3”
“Katie was awesome! She sent great photos and updates and it looked like Paisley was getting lots of love and attention! We also appreciated her communication and flexibility. We would definitely book again!”
“Kristen and Jason were great sitters to my girl Lulu. They were very communicative and sent photo updates. She looked like she was having a blast in every photo! I’ll definitely be booking with them again😊”
“So this is my first REAL time using ROVER and if all the sitters are like Oladapo then Rover is gonna make a ton of money. Oladapo was kind, accommodating, flexible and made me not feel horrible that I was leaving my dog to go on vacation because he was gonna love on my dog the same way I do. The pictures and video he gave me while I was away definitely helped. This guy is the definition of SERVICE WITH A SMILE. He picked up my crate and food and leash from my car and carried it to his apartment and I didmt lift a finger. When you add on that his services are priced reasonably compared to other sitters, Oladapo is a great choice when looking for a sitter”
“For a last minute booking they were so accommodating! I received pictures everyday to let me know my baby was well taken care of while I was away. I had no worries and will be using Wandie and Shawn again!”
“Akeeme was very responsive and took great care of our baby while we were away. We had to make a last minute booking and he accommodated us and kept us updated on Axel throughout the weekend!”
“Jennifer and Nicholas were absolutely amazing with Dolly! From the moment I dropped her off, they made me feel completely at ease. They were fantastic communicators and sent me so many pictures and updates throughout her stay, which meant so much to me. It was clear they genuinely cared about making sure Dolly had the best time. They had a little pool set up for her to splash around in, a huge backyard where she could run and play, and they were incredibly thoughtful about slowly introducing her to the other dogs they were watching so she felt comfortable and safe. When I picked her up, they even surprised us with a little treat bag to take home, which was such a sweet touch! Dolly came home happy, tired, and clearly well loved. I couldn't recommend Jennifer and Nicholas more. If you're looking for sitters who truly treat your dog like family, they're the ones to book. We'll definitely be back!”
“Meredith was amazing! She was so kind, flexible, and accommodating! She watched my cat for a couple of days while I was out of town, and while he was pretty nervous/skittish, she was very patient and moved at his pace. She sent so many pictures and updates and I felt really comfortable with having my baby stay with her!”
“Barron took excellent care of my Ziggy and sent thoughtful updates and photos for Ziggy's entire stay. Before Ziggy's stay, Barron took the time to get to know Ziggy and his health needs. We just moved to Atlanta and I felt at ease knowing that he was cared for. I will gladly book with Barron again”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Dolly! She had so much fun. We really appreciate you providing such a fun space with tons of toys and treats! She says thank you too!”
“I was very nervous about leaving Spade Lee for the second time ever, but Nicole made me feel very reassured and confident and it spilled over into my pup. He came back tuckered out and happy and that’s all I can ask for! Book with her and she WILL take care of your babies!”
“Mikylah did a wonderful job keeping me updated on my babies, Washington and Mickey. I most definitely recommend her if you want to see your dogs happy and well taken care of.”
“Denver always looks like he’s having so much fun, it’s like he’s on his own vacation whenever he is at Deanna’s!! Thanks for always taking great care of him :)”
“Leigh and her husband are absolutely amazing. I knew Keets was in great hands and she looked right at home in all of her pictures on walks and snuggling. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”
“Misty is awesome! She took such wonderful care of our girl and sent lots of adorable photos and updates. I never had to wonder how things were going. Murphy always looked happy and Misty’s pup Kiyah was the perfect playmate for her. Misty walked Murph everyday and made sure she had lots of outside time (her favorite). She even got out a doggy pool for splashing around. Our flight home was delayed multiple times and Misty was incredible accommodating. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Chasity was absolutely AMAZING! She did so well with my Brutus baby. He had the best time. She was extremely communicative and sent me pictures and videos everyday to update me on him. If you ever need a dog sitter, book Chasity! She will now be my go to for sitting. 10/10.”
“Nathan was amazing with my dog, normally im very overboard about where I leave my dog, but he has vibes and was very patient with my dog. She is shy around men and a shelter dog so there could have been previous trauma. He got down to her level let her sniff and calmed her down.”
