“Hannah is an amazing full-time dog caregiver! She can handle anything and her schedule allows her to be super flexible with her clients. Our pup started an antibiotic 3 days before our trip, and she was able to take him, administer all the meds and keep him sequestered until he was no longer a health hazard. In addition, our flight was canceled and she kept C for an extra day at the same rate. We are confident in her abilities and her love for our dog.”
“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”
“Rondarose did such a fantastic job watching Mars overnight. Lots of pictures were sent and he was pooped with all of the playtime with the other dogs. Highly recommend! Very pleasant and timely.”
“Leigh and Rich were incredible to my boy, Archie! I could tell from all the photos, updates, and when I picked him up, that he was well taken care of and loved while he was at their house! I felt super comfortable leaving him in their hands and I am so grateful to them for taking such great care of him, especially with all his quirks! I look forward to using Leigh and Rich again in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Kent is really great with my dog and great at communicating. I am so happy I found such a great sitter for my dog. He is the best. Jager has made a new friend.”
“I was very anxious about leaving my girls while I was on vacation. But Thomas and Kelly took great care of them and sent lots of pictures to ease my mind. I was able to enjoy my vacation much more since I knew my girls were in good hands.”
“Melissa was very responsive, forth right and welcoming to my puppy. She put my mind at ease last night when I dropped her off for an overnight stay. She’s a sweet young lady and happy to recommend her. Lots a parks around and green even through in an apartment. Excellent place.”
“I’m soooo glad to find D’Artagnan here in Rover! My dog Elsa came home happy and tired! He sent me tons of photos and updates during the day and it just gave me peace of mind knowing my baby is having a blast with his dog Nike. Thank you and I am sure Elsa is looking forward to the next she stay with you guys!!!”
“Wonderful, fun place for my sweet little dog to spend his vacation. Ewa and her husband truly love dogs. They send lots of photos and videos. Their dogs are so mellow about having even small dogs around. Mochi is well taken care of there. He loves going and I love being confident he is happy there.”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“We really appreciated Christina's professional and accommodating nature. Also I am no expert eventhough we have a dog. Christina seemed to be very in control and much needed with our little spoiled baby. Our diya's pictures looked as if she was quite happy and adjusted in Christina's home and I would strongly recommend Christina as well as would be happy to utilize her if we are traveling next time around. Thank you Christina for being really good with our Diya.”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“My two pups love being babysat with Amanda and her daughter. Amanda is very responsive while communicating, organized during drop off and pick up, but mostly she loves seeing my dogs when they arrive. I know my dogs are receiving loving care while they are in Amanda's home. I highly recommend Amanda for your next dog sitter!!”
“We highly recommend Cindy! Her family watched our dog in their home and we would love to rebook for future needs. Their family dog, Coco is so friendly, as is their family. Their house and yard is also well setup to be Dog friendly. We appreciated Cindy’s responsiveness, communication and got lots of pictures of all the love our pup got! I confidently knew our dog was well taken care of while we were out of town. Honestly one of the best rovers we have used for an in home stay!”
“Guinness has separation anxiety and Marta was so kind. She contacted me and asked if there were any suggestions on how to get him to calm down. Then a day or two later I am getting pictures of him hanging out with other dogs. Marta and her children were great and sweet to Guinness. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Kaylee is the absolute best!! She cares for our puppy weekly but had him for a very long weekend and provided some many great updates and even when our guy was anxious - she was so attentive!!! The best of the best.”
“Judy was absolutely wonderful to work with for our dog Simba. We felt comfortable and relaxed to leave him for an extended time for the first time. We could also tell that Simba really enjoyed his time with Judy and Bill. They made him feel right at home, and took such thoughtful and attentive care of him!”
“Stephanie and Kevin were amazing! From setting up a meet and greet (to ease my 'new to Rover' worries) to accommodating my delayed flight schedule. They truly are fond of our furry friends and it shows. I got pictures everyday and it was clear that Coco was in her element.”

“Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!”
“We couldn't be happier with Emily's cat sitting services. She went above and beyond in caring for our cats, sending frequent photo updates that gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What really impressed us was her attention to detail and genuine love for animals - she took time to play with our cats and even gave them daily brushing sessions, which they absolutely loved. Her thorough and caring approach made it clear our pets were in excellent hands. The regular updates and photos she sent showed our cats were happy, comfortable, and well-cared for throughout our absence. We highly recommend her services to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and dedicated cat sitter.”
“Emily took such great care of our cat, Nya! She was awesome with communication and always responded right away. I really appreciated that she sent pictures and videos, it gave us so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her for cat sitting!”
“Emily is an amazing sitter and was very communicative about my babies this past weekend. I couldn’t be more grateful that she was available (at the last minute might I add) and my cats loved her so much. I am 1000% asking her to watch over them in the future!”
“Lauren took great care of my two kitties and bearded dragon while I was away on a ten day vacation. She’s extremely personable and intuitive, and I am so glad to have found her! I don’t worry about the animals at all while I’m gone, and it’s a relief.”
“Giada was truly amazing! She was our first Rover experience and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly! She was not only very kind and friendly, but she also kept us up-to-date with daily check-in updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our vacation fully knowing our cat was in good hands!”
“Great Pet Caretaker! Would definitely recommend and will be going with Carl again for any future pet sitting. He took constant photos and played with our cats super well!”
“Another great experience with Liz! I’ve been inviting Liz into my home nearly a year now for visits with my two kitties when I need to be out of town. Besides the usual visit stuff of feeding and playing she’s also handled giving insulin to one of my boys. My other cat is so skittish he has never been seen by several of my closest friends yet he comes out for Liz’s visits. I highly recommend Liz to be entrusted with your very special family members.”
“Wendy is wonderful! When I forgot to give my other pet sitter a key to the front door’s bottom lock, she was a huge help in making sure the issue got sorted. Even though I told her she could leave after feeding and scooping litter for my very shy cat, Wendy would still stay and listen to music for the full half-hour visit so Tawny wouldn’t feel as alone. So professional and so nice! Highly recommend her.”
“Erica was great watching our cats and sent sweet updates with each visit! She also went above and beyond and did a refresh for our litter box! I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to look after your pets while you are away!”
“Dar took great care of our cats while we were gone. She was easy to get in touch with, fast at responding to our messages, and reliable. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need pet care.”
“Sandy always takes such wonderful care of my Cora as if she was her own kitty. While I never like leaving Cora behind when I travel for work, I know she’s in great care with Sandy. She’s trustworthy, kind, and an all-around lovely person. I also highly value the peace of mind knowing Sandy is an experienced vet tech if anything were to ever happen. She’s the best!”
“Shawna was great! She was very communicative with us during her visits. She was very concerned about out kitties needs while we were on vacation. She made sure to play with them during her visits. If you are looking for a sitter she is it! You will be happy and your kitties will be too.”
About: I've had at least one cat for the past 15 years. Currently, I have two cats. My first experience with cats was with my grandparents' cats. Their cats were always aloof and didn't like children. My cats are fairly friendly. I cat-sit for friends and family, this included freshening water, refilling cat food, scooping the litter box, and playing with the cat for a few minutes once a day.

“Pattie & Mike are terrific doggie daycare providers! They are experienced "dog people" with extensive knowledge & a solid understanding of dog behavior - experts at handling different dog personalities & issues. Their home, large detached garage & fenced backyard are well-equipped & well- suited to host dogs for both indoor & outdoor playtime & rest time. Finn had a great time, as evidenced by the fun pics & videos they sent me during his stay. I will definitely use them again! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my energetic boy!

“Rhondarose took such great care of my 5 month old puppy, kept me updated. First time leaving him alone and she made me feel so comfortable! Boe had so much fun!”
“Erena day sat for our dog, Cinnamon, while we were on a day trip as a family. She was easy to communicate with, accommodating, and welcoming to Cinnamon. It was clear to us that she wanted Cinnamon to feel at home, and she eased Cinnamon very gently into an unfamiliar situation. Erena also shared pictures of Cinnamon with us during the day. We would gladly use Erena again!”
“D’Artagnan is a great provider for our boy and made sure to send us updates every once in a while to let us know he was doing alright. Reassuring and understood things our boy couldn’t eat or do. Overall very satisfied and believe our boy had a great time.”
About: I have grown up with many animals, including exotic animals. We have a grooming station in home and love animals of all types and breeds. I haven’t accept exotic animals as well. I have owned horses, mini pigs inside my house, sugar, gliders, chinchillas, hamsters, lizards, cat, dogs, ferrets, I’m probably forgetting a few more. I have an open schedule and care for my pets very well. My dog even gets dental cleanings every year. My favorites get their nails cut and bathed weekly. I have multiple dog beds, a cat tower tons of toys for all different red animals. Have a fenced in backyard, grooming, station, and home. I have extra cages or tanks if need be. I prefer not to kettle animals unless they need to be under the owners agreement.
“Prithvi has been absolutely wonderful from the start of our communication, to the meet and greet, and to caring after Penny today while our caregivers are still out of town. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with Prithvi and her new friend Loki. Thank you for the updates, pictures and videos.”
“Marta was so welcoming of Ronnie:)))) He had so much fun; saw him interacting with other dog in photos🥰; he was fast asleep, not 10 minutes after we picked him up!!!!! We look forward to having Marta care for him in the near future!!!”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. In addition to owning dogs, I have cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide the love, attention, exercise, and comfort they deserve while their families are away. My goal is to help pets feel happy, secure, and cared for, while giving their owners confidence and peace of mind. As a retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My days are typically spent staying active, running errands, enjoying hobbies, and spending time outdoors, which makes it easy to incorporate dog walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship into my routine. Because I am not tied to a traditional work schedule, I can accommodate a variety of walking times and provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. I enjoy being around animals and have the availability to ensure pets receive the exercise, attention, and affection they need while their owners are at work or away from home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their family is away. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship, while also ensuring they have fresh water and a clean environment. I respect my clients' homes by keeping everything tidy and secure and providing regular updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home.
“Christina, Nash, and the whole family were great hosts for Charlie! Christina provided a mid day update along with pictures and carved out time in her day for a 2-mile walk with the dogs. They all were very welcoming and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Christina and hope we will be back periodically for more visits.”
“Sue has been watching our pup Archie for a while with her daughter and does an amazing job. She treats him like her own giving us piece of mind that our pup is safe and happy while we are at work. We also appreciate the socialization he’s gotten meeting some other pups while at day care. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sue to anyone!”
About: We have a 8 year old French bulldog (Mason) who loves other dogs and is super friendly. We have a nice fenced in yard that allows great space for the dogs to roam and soak up the sun. We never leave them unattended and will always have eyes on them. We are dog obsessed! We will treat them like family and prefer small to medium sized dogs. Frenchies very welcomed:) We work from home and have a fenced in yard. We are frequently spoiling our dog and available for walks and frequent outdoor potty breaks. We have a 6’ fenced in yard. Security cameras on yard as well. Lots of sun and a fun frenchie to keep them company who gets along great with dogs.
About: My journey with Rover began approximately 8 years ago and it's been a delight to meet and care for furry babies when their parents were in need of a responisible and trusted caretaker. At that time, my Lola, was just as excited to befriend and play with pals. As my Lola grew older, she developed medical issues and my attention and all the time I could give,was directed only towards her. Therefore, I took a pause to spend time with her and give her all I could. Her time, to join the rest of angel friends, came on December 17th, 2025. I came back to Rover simply because I miss the company of the most pure soul and my best friend of 13 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet in good care, cater to your best friend just as your own family and hope to meet them soon.
“Patricia was friendly and attentive. She listened to all my dogs quirky needs and I could tell she really cares about the dogs she babysits. I plan to use her in the future.”
“This is the second time Vicki has watched Marty. Marty feels comfortable there and never comes back anxious. Vicki is a great communicator, responds quickly and is very flexible! Another great experience, we are very appreciative!”
“Trust her with my eyes closed ❤️ My doggy loves Antonina and happy every time he sees her. Amazing home and amazing service, watched and took care of him as if he was her own.”
About: Dog mom for 30 years giving love and care to dogs. I am organized, I follow a schedule, I love walking dogs and I have a high degree of responsibility. I have the flexibility to accompany them when you can't be at home with them. I have flexible schedule during my day because I have my kid at the school and I am flexible in my work. Also I can go at nights if the owner request. I think the pets feel more comfortable in their home. But if the owner feels the dog will be comfortable in my place, I can take of them in my home.
About: I love animals. I have loved, played with, nursed, and fed any kind of dog you an imagine. Im also comfortable around cats considering they tend be independent and communicative in their own way. I genuinely enjoy the process of training and nurturing animals. I have experience caring for newborn puppies and dogs with health issues as well as making natural and organic meals for dietary needs. I believe patience , affection, and repetition are the recipe to connecting with our all of our furry friends. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional questions. I work from home so pet care wouldn’t disrupt my routine at all. And I would be able to tend to a dog with special needs. I have a fenced in yard and personal fenced in patio off of my kitchen. It allows your buddy to get some fresh air in between walks and be secure

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, so I understand the joy it brings dogs to go on walks and experience all the smells throughout the neighborhood. I also know that dogs are part of the family (my dogs are my children just like my human children), so I take this role very seriously. I work from home every day except Thursday, so I have more availability. Also available most weekends at some point during the days and evenings. I take great care to follow the family's instructions with feeding, walking, and playing. I have watched my brother-in-law's dog in my home and she thrived here while he was out of town.

About: I'm not your average pet sitter—I'm your four-legged friend's new BFF! 🙌 I bring more than just a love for pets; I've got the experience to back it up.

I've fine-tuned the art of tailoring experiences. Whether it's a high-energy ball of fluff or a wise old soul, I know the drill—daily exercise, customized feeding plans, and nailing the tricky task of giving meds💊 But let's get real—I'm not just a pet caregiver; I'm a pet communicator. Regular updates and clear chats with you are my forte. I want you to feel like you're right there with us, even if you're miles away.

Easy peasy 👍Your furry family is in for a treat under my watch!!💕 Pet care isn't just a job for me; it's woven into the fabric of my daily routine. From sunrise strolls to late-night cuddle sessions, I make sure your furry pals get the attention and care they deserve every day. Whether it's mealtime, playtime, or just some good old-fashioned belly rubs, your pets are a priority in my schedule. I believe in consistency, so you can rest easy knowing that your pets are getting the same love and care day in and day out. On weekends, from 7 am to 8 pm, consider me your pet's dedicated companion.

Your pet's security is my top priority. Trust is built on transparency, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and detailed reports on our adventures. Communication is key, and I want you to feel connected to your pet's experience, even when you're not there. Environment matters – I maintain a clean and cozy space, respecting your home as much as you do. Whether it's snuggle time on the couch or a playful romp in the backyard, I create an environment that mirrors the comfort and routine your pet is accustomed to. I understand that each pet is unique, with different needs and preferences. That's why I adapt to their personality, providing the care and attention that aligns with their individual quirks. Your home isn't just a place I visit; it becomes a familiar haven where your pets thrive under my watchful eye. In essence, safety, trust, and a harmonious environment are the cornerstones of my pet care approach. Let me be the dependable caretaker your pets can trust, right in the comfort of their own home.

“Hannah is an amazing full-time dog caregiver! She can handle anything and her schedule allows her to be super flexible with her clients. Our pup started an antibiotic 3 days before our trip, and she was able to take him, administer all the meds and keep him sequestered until he was no longer a health hazard. In addition, our flight was canceled and she kept C for an extra day at the same rate. We are confident in her abilities and her love for our dog.”
“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”

He sent me tons of photos and updates during the day and it just gave me peace of mind knowing my baby is having a blast with his dog Nike. Thank you and I am sure Elsa is looking forward to the next she stay with you guys!!!”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“My two pups love being babysat with Amanda and her daughter. Amanda is very responsive while communicating, organized during drop off and pick up, but mostly she loves seeing my dogs when they arrive. I know my dogs are receiving loving care while they are in Amanda's home. I highly recommend Amanda for your next dog sitter!!”
“We highly recommend Cindy! Her family watched our dog in their home and we would love to rebook for future needs. Their family dog, Coco is so friendly, as is their family. Their house and yard is also well setup to be Dog friendly. We appreciated Cindy’s responsiveness, communication and got lots of pictures of all the love our pup got! I confidently knew our dog was well taken care of while we were out of town. Honestly one of the best rovers we have used for an in home stay!”
“Guinness has separation anxiety and Marta was so kind. She contacted me and asked if there were any suggestions on how to get him to calm down. Then a day or two later I am getting pictures of him hanging out with other dogs. Marta and her children were great and sweet to Guinness. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Kaylee is the absolute best!! She cares for our puppy weekly but had him for a very long weekend and provided some many great updates and even when our guy was anxious - she was so attentive!!! The best of the best.”
“Stephanie and Kevin were amazing! From setting up a meet and greet (to ease my 'new to Rover' worries) to accommodating my delayed flight schedule. They truly are fond of our furry friends and it shows. I got pictures everyday and it was clear that Coco was in her element.”
“Bob was wonderful! Truly so kind and patient with our dog! When we arrived our dog was crying from happiness to see us and Bob was so sweet that he picked her up to cuddle her and make her feel loved! Bob provided continuous updates and photos while we were away and it helped us feel comfortable enough to enjoy our vacation! Thank you so very much Bob! You are the best!”
“Michelle’s home is a second home retreat for our three year old lab mix. Miles adores going to Michelle’s and it’s a great reflection of the kind care and warmth that she shows to the pets she cares for. We never hesitate to book Michelle! She has many processes in place to ensure direct communication and a safe and loving environment for the pets that she cares for. I interviewed many Rover sitters for our dog and Michelle was above and beyond the only one I felt comfortable with and she has exceeded our expectations every time. Thank you, Michelle!”
“Yaqi is absolutely the best, I have an elderly Frenchie who is generally with me 24/7. I was very worried about leaving her with anybody but Yaqi very quickly put my mind at ease. She sends many pics and videos and my dog loves her. I won’t sorry next time I leave town because I know my dog will be with Yaqi.”
“My dog Poppy loves staying with Mary and her family. Mary was also very flexible with pickup time when my travel got delayed which was so nice and took some of the stress of the delay away.”
“Erena is an absolute angel! The love and care she gave my cat was extremely comforting. We needed to go out of town for two months and had no one to watch Charlie. She took him into her home. Let him sleep on her bed and administered his pills twice a day. She frequently sent text and pictures and communicated and he needs that would arise. I almost don’t want to tell people how wonderful she is, but she deserves the recognition. We are extremely grateful to Erena and her husband for including Charlie into her family. Would absolutely book again if needed.”
“Christine took excellent care of our sweet pup, Flora. We needed her help for 16 days while we were on a vacation, and she was so helpful, kind, and thoughtful. We appreciated the photos and quick responses to asks, questions, and concerns. We were able to drop off when needed and pick up on our own schedule. Christine made leaving our girl much easier. Thank you for making Flora feel at home.”
“Sviltana took great care of our dog, and was able to board him for a few days on short notice. She sent lots of videos and photos. We'll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”
