“Joerg and Lake were fantastic with our pup! You can tell they are really kind hearted people who love animals. We got regular updates and felt super comfortable during our trip knowing Sully was in good hands. Will definitely be re booking with them!!”
“Marcos is the best! it’s our first baby and the first time we’ve ever left her alone for more than a couple hours. He was so attentive to her and us and I know Junie was sad to leave him. I don’t think we’ll ever go to anyone else! (as long as he’ll have us, she is a handful! LOL)”
“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”
“The absolute best! We do not live close to Kimberly but the level of care and love she and her family give to both our babies makes the travel absolutely worth it. She makes our pets apart of her family and they absolutely adore staying with Kim. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Clarissa made this a wonderful experience. Communication was great and she will tailor to your pups personality and needs! She was warm and friendly and I am pretty sure my pup wanted to stay a little longer. 😆”
“Dropped our Klee Kai off with Ian for a night and was impressed by how organized he was with respect to diet, toys, activity level and more. He sent lots of great pics and it seems like my pup had a fun time. Will definitely book with Ian again.”
“Megan provided excellent care for our 3 pups. She provided frequent updates and photos and was very quick to respond to messages. We are already planning to book with her again this summer.”
“Julia was great! I had to book a rover last minute. Julia saved the day. We managed to get a meet up scheduled prior to Kiki’s stay. Kiki got a five star treatment. Plenty of communication. I felt like Kiki enjoyed her stay away from home just as much I enjoyed getting a short 3 day vacay. I will definitely book Julia again. Great location. I felt safe leaving her with Julia and I know Kiki enjoyed herself.”
“Smidge had the absolute best time at Amalia’s!! She took such great care of our baby, responded quickly, and made sure Smidge felt at home! We will definitely be rebooking in the future! :)”
“Diana and Scott are the absolute best! I'm usually anxious when leaving Scout behind while we're away, but they took such great care of her that I'll never be worried if she's with them. They were communicative throughout her stay and shared daily updates/photos. I've actually never seen her get comfortable with new people so quickly (she was handing out belly rubs on day 2 which is not typical for her lol). So thankful to have found them as sitters and hope to keep using them in the future!”
“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”
“Another great stay with John, Ryan and Bruno! This was Bambi’s first extended stay (two weeks) and I’m so happy we found John and Ryan to be her sitters. She loves it there and Bruno is the perfect host and playmate. Communication was great and we received plenty of photo updates. Highly highly recommend- they will treat your dog as if they were their own and you will have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.”
“My dog was well taken care of and had a great time with Rico! He was great about sending photos and updates. I was unsure of my exact timing for drop off and pick up and Rico was so kind and flexible with me. Excellent experience and I'd be happy to have Margo stay with him anytime!”
“Susan was amazing with our boy Lincoln! He was obviously loved and taken care of while we were away and we got daily updates showing him playing with friends! We felt so comfortable with Susan and Isla and we hope to bring him back to play soon!”
“Nic took such good care of Bailey! Nic was so responsive, sent so many pictures, and was so sweet! Bailey got so much love and went on so many walks! I would recommend Nic to anyone and everyone!”
“Meredith was amazing! Even when I needed to extend the boarding time, she was very kind, understanding, and accepted everything right away without any issues. Communication was smooth, and the whole experience went really well. I truly appreciate her flexibility and care. Highly recommend!”
“Our go-to pet sitters! Always so communicative and on top of it. Our dog loves being with them and it gives us such piece of mind when we leave town. The best!”
“Another great stay for our pup with Jason and Henri! Gracie has so much fun with them and Jason sends the best pics. He also provides the most delightful Polaroid souvenirs which is super thoughtful touch!”

“Jennifer did an amazing job of looking in on our cat this week. She’s incredibly responsive and reliable, and goes the extra mile in making sure things are taken care of. It’s clear that she genuinely loves pets and bonded with our shy cat in no time. We highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely request her for future sittings!”

“Eddy was a fantastic cat sitter for my two boys while I was away on vacation! She sent daily pictures and gave consistently gave updates on each visit. One of my cats is particularly anxious and he warmed up to her so well, she even got him to come out and play with his toys! I felt so great having them in her care and would definitely books her again for future catsitting!”
“Thank you so much, Sydney! Sydney was incredibly thorough and attentive to my cat while I was traveling for the holidays. I knew I could trust that my fur baby was in good hands! :)”
“This was my first time working with Emily and it couldn’t have been a smoother process. Emily is very responsive and getting in touch was easy. Both of my shy cats felt comfortable enough to leave their hiding spots and loved playing with Emily. One of my cats even walked her to the door which they only do to me. I will definitely be booking visits with Emily in the future. Thank you again!”
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Lavinia is with my baby! She is always so prompt with her responses and has helped me out last minute a few times now. I am more at ease with the care she shows my baby. 🖤”
“Daniel took excellent care of our two cats over the holidays. He was communicative, sent great photo updates, and most importantly our cats clearly loved having him around. It was obvious from the start that Daniel truly understands and loves cats, and he did a great job adapting to their different personalities.”
“Mike is great! We have worked with him a few times and will plan to again in the future. He checked in on and fed our kitties while we were away for the weekend. He also alerted me that our air conditioning was broken so I was able to get the issue addressed before we returned home. Highly recommend Mike!”
“A+ catsitter with an A++ attitude. Melinda took great care of our three cats, and provided detailed updates after every visit. We will definitely ask her to watch over our goon squad again!”
“Ryan was great with my cat, Reggie, while I was away for the holidays. Very attentive to my lil guy who needs lots of play. Took lots of pictures and followed all directions. I appreciated his flexibility in schedule and he was communicative about any changes. Would definitely use again”
“Jessica is amazing! We asked her to take care of our cats, one of which has some issues. She took care of said “issues” perfectly. This was the first time we worked with Jessica and we’ve already asked her to help us again!”
“Ashley has been great with my cat Winston. She is punctual, communicates promptly and is flexible with times & requests. I would recommend her without any reservation.”
“Cathy was fantastic! She took care of my cat for the weekend and it took no time for her to open up to Cathy! It felt reassuring knowing she was in good hands and let me feel comfortable on vacation. Thanks, Cathy!”
“Hanna was great. She was extremely thorough with the details of our two cats- one being a grumpy old guy and the other being a high-energy young cat we recently took in. Although they were getting along, we were still a bit concerned on how their relationship would go while we were gone. We wanted someone here to give them attention and look after them. Hanna more than met our expectations by providing frequent updates and photos, and even leaving a toy that our younger cat loves. She made it possible for us to enjoy our trip as our minds were put at ease knowing the cats were in good hands. We highly recommend her and will be using her service again.”

“Crystal did a really job with my rambunctious three month old Goldendoodle. I had a crazy morning and completely forgot my bag of food and toys for my pup but Crystal was prepared with toys and food. My pup was also pretty grungy from all the salt from the snow. I made a comment to Crystal that I meant to bathe her but didn't have time, just to apologize for her being dirty and Crystal bathed her for me! She also sent lots of pics so I knew she was being well taken care of. I'd definitely use again!”
“They took an amazing care of my lovely London on a last minute, they were always responsive and gently, also sent pictures because I was missing my dog so much 1000 stars for them! Will have in mind for a next service for sure!! And recommend 100%”
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!
“Megan was a great host for our pups! Very willing to accommodate our schedule and responsive before and during our trip. Our two dogs had a great time during day care at her place and come home tuckered out both days they stated there. Thanks for taking such good care of them!”
“Susan was wonderful! She was very caring with our little elder dog. Communication was great and we were happy to receive a photo of our dog having a comfortable stay with Susan. We appreciate you, Susan!”
“Carly took great care of my dog Avery; she seemed very happy and comfortable there! Carly was also very easy to communicate with, which made things easy. I would definitely leave Avery with her next time I need a sitter!”
“Brad was great! He sent pics and feedback. Made me feel very comfortable that my dog was getting all the TLC possible. I will be using him for my vacation stay.”
“Robert was amazing watching my dog for the day. He took her on a long walk and she instantly was comfortable with him. He was also flexible when I was a little later to pick her up than expected - thank you Robert!”
“My little fella made himself right at home upon arrival to Mark's place. He snuggled into some blankets for a nice morning nap then got up to meet his new friends and hang out with them. He was very content, comfortable and had a good time!”
“Sarah and Walter were wonderful with Butters! I’m so glad Butters had a great time there since he can be quite a handful at times. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Cannot say enough good things about Laura and Charles!! We have a zany, wiggly, high-energy teenage Boxer who means well but can be a lot to handle. We're often hesitant to leave her with new people, but feel totally comfortable sending her to Laura and Charles' place for daycare. She has a blast romping around with her new dog friends, and we have 100% peace of mind that she is safe, happy, and well cared for. We also love that they're helping her to improve her manners and to understand that not all dogs want to play all the time! Her whole body wiggles with excitement when she gets dropped off and she doesn't want to leave at the end of the day. We are SO glad to have found Laura and Charles, and are excited to make this a regular booking!”
“Michaela was awesome! Things I appreciated: Michaela is friendly and warm, she took great care of dog, and she gave us regular updates. Will definitely go back to Michaela!”
“Meli had a wonderful time with Tara and her family. I received pictures and an update of Meli during the day. She was accommodating and flexible with my schedule. Would definitely reccomend.”
“Sara and her husband took awesome care of my puppy, Ellie! Ellie definitely had a blast playing with their kitty and taking turns sleeping on both of their laps all day. I know Ellie is looking forward to her next play date/snuggle session ?”
“Zev loves his daycare with Natalia and her fur-daughter Bella. She sends lots of updates and pictures with tails high and wagging. Now on walks, Zev is always pulling towards Natalia's house. Thank you Natalia for always being flexible and responsive!”
“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: (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.
“Anana was available last minute when I had an emergency trip and was a life saver! She was incredibly communicative, always kept us up to date with the walk card and pictures, and was wonderful for Tully while we were gone! We absolutely would recommend her for your pet car needs.”
“Ryan was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was very detailed on how his and Luna's walks went. He was very attentive to her and made sure she had plenty of play time and pets. I will definitely be booking walks with him in the future”
“Liz is one of the most thoughtful & trustworthy dog walkers we have ever used. We have a senior dog who has some quirks & can be a handful. Liz always checks in & takes such good care of our Maple”
About: I am an animal lover! I grew up with dogs and have a passion for animals! With over 15 years of experience with dogs and currently have one dog named Jade, who is 2 years old. I will make sure your dog is walked, feed, had plenty of playtime & treated like family. I am comfortable with any size, breed & administering medication, my schedule is very flexible. My goal is to make your experience stress free & give your fur baby my full attention and care. Will send photos & updates during each visit. My schedule is extremely flexible, I have the ability to provide multiple walks, playtime and exercise. I'm also able to provide the same during the weekends. I enjoy sending photos and updated during each visit. My goal is to make your experience stress free and please let me know if there is anything additional I can do to provide the best experience.
“Kayleigh has walked my dog Lyla several times. My dog usually barks and growls a lot when new people come into our home, but Kayleigh was so patient and respectful of her space. She provided detailed reports with pictures and took great care of our girl. Recommend her 100%!”
“Cathy is awesome! She really understands dogs and their needs. During the very hot weekend we just had, she knew when to shorten a walk for the safety of our puppy and had much needed snuggle time instead. Very professional and I love that she used Rover to send pictures, let us know when she arrived and left, and what generally happened on their walk and time together. She was also very accommodating by communicating with another person who was staying in our home while we were away. We will be using her services in the future!”
About: I am truly a dog lover with years of experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs of various sizes and personalities. I am dedicated to treating your furry family member like my very own, ensuring they receive the highest level of care, comfort, and companionship. My schedule is highly open and flexible to provide consistent, dedicated support whenever your pet needs it most. The only exception is a brief daily window from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM for a recurring client. Because I strictly provide one-on-one care and never mix dogs from different households, your pet is guaranteed my full, undivided attention during their walk. Taking care of your furry friend is the highlight of my day! I am a timely, organized, and consistent person. I am able to follow all instructions, routine, and accommodate your schedule so you feel supported. I provide safety, comfort, and care for your pet! My attention is always 100% your dog and our surroundings. During walks, I always keep your dog securely leashed, and I do not permit interactions with other dogs to ensure a controlled, stress-free environment.
“Barbara was very attentive and punctual. She walked, fed and cuddled with Zelda during their time together. Would l highly recommend and can’t wait for the next time.”
“Houston treats Hank like he is her own dog. Hank is always calm and happy after she takes care of him. i couldn't do my job without her valuable and reliable help!”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! She was flexible to my changing schedules and she is always available to help out with your fur baby. My dog Fiona enjoyed her walks with Whitney and I got wonderful report cards with pictures of their walk. From Fiona’s reaction to see Whitney, I could tell that she has a very loving heart towards your pet. Whitney is extremely reliable and a wonderful person. I highly recommend her. Thanks Whitney from Fiona and me! ?”
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: I have had dogs my entire life and spent of much of my personal time learning about different breeds and pet care. I also volunteered at a shelter for four years and have experience grooming in a professional setting. I have dog sat for many families in the area and have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and special needs dogs, as well as cats. I am currenty working on an as needed basis and can set my own schedule, so I can plan my time around your babies' needs. I try to keep care and routine as similar as possible to your pet's typical day. I also try to give as much extra TLC as possible because I know your babies miss you and need some extra love!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life from Chihuahuas to German Shepards. I prefer low to medium energy dogs (I love my seniors!) but will make an exception for the right fit. I will send as many photos or updates as you’d like. I handle all clients professionally and my reviews reflect that. Can’t wait to meet you! I work from home so I’m easily able to slip away and do a midday check in or walk. I will be walking to all locations so they must be within 1 mile from my address (Lawrence x Campbell) My senior boy recently passed away but I have two more pups (border collie and min pin mix). I will not be offering services at my place.
