We just had our very first experience with dog boarding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Megan! From the very beginning, Megan was communicative, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. She sent multiple updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear how much attention and love she gave my dog. Megan’s consistency and genuine care made all the difference. I truly felt like my pup was in the best hands, and I’m so grateful for the positive experience. Highly, highly recommend Megan and will absolutely be booking with her again!

He also gave us constant updates - sharing photos and messages to make sure we know our dog is comfy and in great hands. We are so grateful that we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away!

Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!

This was our first Rover experience after moving to Chicago, and Ian made it a great one. Based on the updates and how happy Satch looked, I would recommend him to anyone.

Jeff and Ron were very warm, welcoming, and patient with Kona. We received regular updates and pictures. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up.

Here’s a polished and friendly Rover-style review you can use: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Karla Karla was an amazing sitter for my dog, Charlie! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She sent lots of updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which really reassured me that Charlie was happy and doing great. When I picked her up, she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Karla truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

This was our first time using DogVacay and we are blown away at the ease of using this service, but most importantly blown away with our experience with Darla + Greg. They responded quickly to our meet and greet request and once we met the hosts and their lovely dog, Shandy, we knew this was the best place for our Penelope to stay. The hosts were very accommodating to the special needs of our dog (i.e. medication) and sent us regular text/photo updates. We enjoyed our trip out of town immensely because we knew our pup was in good hands. They have great yard and space in their home. Penelope had a great time, and we were afraid she may not want to come home when we picked her up! We will definitely reach out to Darla + Greg again in the future. Thank you!

Melinda was quick to respond and super flexible with planning a meet and greet. She spent the full half hour with my cats to give them attention even though the pill only takes five minutes. She took lots of pictures and sent detailed updates. I could tell from the photos that my cats loved her! I will absolutely be booking with Melinda again!

She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.

About: I am home full-time, live in an apartment with 1 adorable dog. Dogs have been a part of my family since I was a little girl. I think they are the most adorable creatures and I love their personalities. I like playing with them, teaching them tricks and just hugging them all the time. Your dog will feel like it's their home when they are with me. Hope to see your dog soon. Have a great day! About this sitter: Love Animals! Why I love dog sitting Dogs have been in our home and a part of my life since I was a child. About my yard Yes, it is a small backyard. Several parks in the area for long walks.

About: I grew up with a Golden Retriever and have always loved caring for dogs. I've watched pets for friends and family and regularly care for my sister's dog, who has anxiety. I'm a great companion for dogs who need a little extra attention and care. Your pupper is in great, loving hands! I work from home and have lots of time to play with your pupper, take them on walks, and give them the attention they deserve. My schedule is very flexible :) I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of supervision throughout the day. If your dog is crate-trained, I have space in my office for a crate if needed. My apartment has steep stairs, but I use a dog gate for added safety and take dogs out using the back stairs which are less steep and have more traction. Dogs are welcome in every room. There are no off-limits spaces!

About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I've been a trusted 5-star Rover sitter for nearly 10 years but dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Now that I have a pup of my own, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust. While I love spending time with dogs, their safety and well-being always come first. Whether we're on a walk, at home, or around other dogs, I'm attentive to their individual needs and make thoughtful decisions to keep them safe and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all personalities. From shy, fearful pups who need time to build trust, to reactive dogs who require patience and confidence, to happy-go-lucky companions who are just excited to make a new friend. Whether you're away for a weekend, a vacation, or just a night out, I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own and make sure you have peace of mind while you're away! I currently work a part-time full remote job so I am very flexible for timing. For boarding stays, that also means that someone is home 99% of the time! I have a spacious 1,400 sq. ft. apartment in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for daily walks. My dog, Zinnia, is friendly, well-socialized, and great at reading other dogs' cues—she knows when to play and when to give space. All interactions are supervised and dogs are never left alone together. If your pup enjoys adventures, I'm happy to take them to the beach, dog park, or other outings with your approval. Zinnia also hates walks so if they require walks they will get me all to themselves!

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

About: Hey there! If you're reading this that most likely means you are going on a trip. If this is vacation, Congrats! You've earned it! If you're headed on a work trip, well then I hope the food is good! Either way, I would love to look after your furry friend while you're gone! I have been looking after pups for about 8 years and have had dogs of my own. I am more than happy to send regular updates so you don't miss your friend too much. I currently work part-time and from home, therefore I will be around all day to check in on your pet and keep them entertained while you are gone. After working with a family member who is a professional dog trainer, I have learned how to care for dogs with various temperaments. I can care for a shy doggie and play with a high energy puppy. I am no stranger to the intricacies of doggie care and will not shy away from strict guidelines. I truly care for the health of animals and want to do the best we can to give your furry friend some well deserved love and exercise.

This was the second time that Nancy watched Bentley for us, and the first time we ever repeated a sitter on Rover. We usually feel guilty about leaving him knowing that he’s likely to be miserable, but not with Nancy! He really enjoys staying with her. It’s such a relief not to worry about Bentley and actually get to enjoy a nice day out.

About: I have had a family dog my whole life. I was raised with a Golden Retriever and then had twos Daschunds. I now have my own dog that I rescued last year. She is a German Shepherd/ Great Pyrenees Mix. She is the sweetest thing in the world but she has a lot of anxiety. She is in every single way the perfect dog. She loves other dogs and is very friendly to them. I provide house sitting, dog boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Please note that all services provided at my house my dog would be present. My partner and I have a huge apartment with multiple rooms for all your dog's needs, and a fenced in back yard. I plan to take care of your dog just like I take care of mine. So no matter how big or small or how much anxiety they may have I am the one for the job. i'm currently going to school and run my own business. I have plenty of time to take your dog and my dog on a walk. Play with them and give the cuddles. and my partner is here to help as well. i have a fenced in yard and a big dog to keep your dog company. Three bedroom apartment for the dogs to run around. Plenty of space.

About: We are two dog-smitten people who, after adopting our own dog Olive a few years ago, have continued fostering dogs and volunteering through local shelters and are now sitting for Rover. We love meeting new dogs and showering them with love and attention while they’re in our home. We have a soft spot for seniors and have experience working with shyer/anxious dogs. I work from home and my partner has a flexible schedule, so there will almost always be someone around with your dog. We live in a duplex apartment with a small backyard and one block from a large park, where we walk nearly every day. We will update you with pics throughout your dog’s stay. Please bring whatever your dog needs to be comfortable—food, dog bed, special treats, sweaters or booties if cold weather, calming chews, etc. We take care that our dog and our guest get along well. Your dog will be the only guest in our home, alongside our resident dog. Our dog is mostly indifferent to other dogs but occasionally finds a playmate. We do feed dogs separately and place them in separate closed-door rooms when we leave. We’re happy to have the dogs meet for a short walk prior to booking.

About: (They/them) I’m a huge animal lover and pro cuddler. I have lived around dogs for pretty much my whole life. I got my own dog when I was 10 and took care of him for many years. I took care of my most recent dog (shelter adopted!) for the past four years. I have taken dog training classes as well. I also have experience taking care of cats and currently care for my own cat. I will make sure to give lots of love and care to your fur babies! I also am a great pet photographer and will take many great photos of your pets during my stay that you can use as your phone background (literally have had a client do this before!). You can swipe through my photos to see! I have a regular 9-5 but I mostly work remotely so I tend to have a good amount of availability during the week and on the weekends. I can also stay overnight for house sitting if needed. Generally, I do sometimes have commitments that might leave me out of the house for 4-6 hours in a day so if your pet needs constant 24/7 care, I may not be the best fit. Each dog and cat is different so I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach to sitting or walking. So, my approach is to make sure I have all the information possible on how your unique pet needs to be cared for. When I get a request, my first goal is to get to know your dog/cat and their personality and needs. I get to know what kind of attention they want (and don’t want), how they cope with stress, and how I can make them the most happy, comfortable, and safe with the resources at hand. Then, I do my best to care for them with that information. I want to care for them in exactly the same way you would or even better.

About: Hi, I’m Susan, a lifelong dog lover with over 40 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I offer safe, loving in-home boarding and daycare for small breeds (typically 30 lbs and under), with a special affection for terriers. I provide a calm, cozy home environment where dogs are treated like family and receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. My Westie, Isla, is friendly, social, and loves having dog friends over—especially other small and medium-sized pups with gentle, playful personalities. While I primarily care for smaller dogs, I may accept select medium-sized dogs on a case-by-case basis depending on temperament, leash manners, and overall fit with Isla and my home environment. I currently offer boarding and daycare primarily Fridays through Mondays, with Thursday evening drop-offs available after 7:00 pm for longer weekend stays. This schedule allows me to provide focused, attentive care and maintain a relaxed environment for every dog in my home. Whether your pup is staying for a night, a long weekend, or recurring daycare visits, I’ll do everything I can to help them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for dogs is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to structure my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. My routine includes regular walks, indoor and outdoor play sessions, and lots of cuddle time. Whether we’re tossing a ball in the living room, enjoying a quiet break together, or following a familiar feeding schedule, I strive to make each dog feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Weekends follow the same routine, so your pup will enjoy a calm, consistent environment every day of the week. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly home where every pup is treated like family. I closely supervise all interactions—especially during introductions—and keep the environment low-stress by hosting no more than one or two dogs at a time. My own dog, Isla, a friendly, well-socialized three-year-old West Highland Terrier, offers wonderful canine companionship and helps other dogs feel welcome. You can trust that your dog will be in attentive, experienced, and loving hands throughout their stay.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up caring for them by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of love and attention. I also worked with children for 7 years, which helped me develop strong responsibility, communication skills, patience, and the ability to stay calm and caring in different situations. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I’m available throughout the day and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention and care. My schedule is open during the day until 3. Unfortunately if no response from pet owners ahead of walk etc I will not walk dog. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well attended to at all times. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely by providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, attention, and any specific instructions requested by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship and exercise while keeping their environment clean, calm, and stress free.

About: Love dogs and cats! I have always had a dog or a cat, sometimes more than one. My very first dog was Trixie and my grandpa accidentally left our gate open and we lost her. I think I’ve been trying to find her replacement my whole life! Right now I have a 9y/o high energy lab mix named Hercules and he loves to play but he’s reactive on a leash to other dogs in our building (he thinks he’s a sheriff) so he won’t be coming with us on walks. I'll treat your dog or cat like they are my own. If you tell me their little quirks and what they like or don’t like, I’ll be sure to pay attention to that. I work from home most of the time and spend a lot of time sitting at my computer. I’m trying to get 10,000 steps a day and my work schedule is flexible enough to take breaks for drop-ins to visit your cat or dog or walking your pup. I’m not taking boarders right now but I have in the past and I love learning about each pet’s personality and preferences. They are all fun to get to know.

The hosts were very accommodating to the special needs of our dog (i.e. medication) and sent us regular text/photo updates. We enjoyed our trip out of town immensely because we knew our pup was in good hands. They have great yard and space in their home. Penelope had a great time, and we were afraid she may not want to come home when we picked her up! We will definitely reach out to Darla + Greg again in the future. Thank you!

Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!

Sophie has rescued our vacation. She was sweet, accommodating, took great care of our dog and updated us very well with pictures and videos. Although this was our first booking with Sophie, we'll be sure to come back, because she has been able to give us great peace of mind, while we were away.

Cagatay pup-sat my 2 puppies, and they had a great Thanksgiving with him. He took really good care of them. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby!

Jennifer was very communicative and sent a photo update every day! Kai seemed to be very comfortable and happy during his stay there. She was very patient and flexible! Which I really appreciated as we missed our flight the day we were supposed to be back :(

Malik agreed to take care of our dog for 2 nights, after a last minute, same-day outreach, and I am so grateful for his help! He provided updates and pictures every day and we could see that our dog felt like he never left our home! It’s so apparent how much he cares for dogs, and how excited he is to take them when he is available! Highly recommend him!

About: I grew up with a Golden Retriever and have always loved caring for dogs. I've watched pets for friends and family and regularly care for my sister's dog, who has anxiety. I'm a great companion for dogs who need a little extra attention and care. Your pupper is in great, loving hands! I work from home and have lots of time to play with your pupper, take them on walks, and give them the attention they deserve. My schedule is very flexible :) I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of supervision throughout the day. If your dog is crate-trained, I have space in my office for a crate if needed. My apartment has steep stairs, but I use a dog gate for added safety and take dogs out using the back stairs which are less steep and have more traction. Dogs are welcome in every room. There are no off-limits spaces!

Adam was amazing! My pup is a bit on the anxious side and I could tell that he was at ease during his stay at Adam’s. Highly recommend!

Marcos was wonderful. He has a fantastic backyard for the pups to play, and he took plenty of photos of my fur baby while I was away. Thank you Marcos!

Sharon was absolutely wonderful!! We will certainly reach out to her anytime we need someone to watch Betty in the future! She shared lots of updates and photos as well are really integrated our dog Betty into her family and routine which was so important to us!! When we picked Betty up we could tell she was so so happy and comfortable with Sharon and got lots of playtime and love! Sharon made sure there were plenty of walks, park and/outdoor time based on what is best for the dogs! For example one day is was very hot and she set up a pool in the backyard for Betty and her dog! I highly recommend Sharon especially if you have a dog like my Golden Retriever who would much rather be around other people and dogs than in a crate!
