“My dog was so calm after I picked him up boarding with Kyla. Energetically, I could tell that he was very well taken care of with her - no stress, no anxiety, just peace. TY KYLA!!!”

“Carlos and Ciara love to stay with Lorraine, I can see in the pictures she sends that they have so much on their walks, and sniffing around the backyard. I let them on the furniture at home, and they are allowed on her couch, too. :D”

“Gus has stayed with Iwona countless times, each one better than the last! He is so loved and cared for in Iwona’s home, he pulls me to her front door! Cannot recommend her enough”

“Susan kept me updated throughout the day by sending me pictures/videos and updates on my puppies. Susan has been very patient and flexible for my pickup/drop off time, she has also readjusted some fees to help me book her services. I highly recommend and I would use her services again.”

“Milo always seems very happy when visiting Luciano and when he returns home, I don't have to redirect him in no way. Thank you Luciano for taking good care of Milo.”


“Jennifer and her family have always been reliable sitters that we can count on for our pup Kona. Both with food, medications, socializing with other dogs, and even attending to more particular concerns about her care they’ve always been very kind and caring. The only sitters I use!”

“Our Bernie loved staying with Joe. He understands dogs through and through, and maybe even more important, he understands and appreciates the quirks and idiosyncrasies of particular dogs. He kept us well informed and accommodated our schedule. Bernie would go back in a heartbeat, I’m sure, and we would be happy knowing she was in good hands.”

“Randall was having stomach issues before being dropped off to Angel. He kept me updated and gave great care. Happiest dog ever after Angel watches him.”

“Pamela Grace was so wonderful with our Snowy. He has special needs and he was well taken care of with great communication and updates throughout our 5 days Snowy stayed with her.”

“Bernie’s hosts were wonderful, especially in the unflustered and caring way they dealt with a transportation crisis my wife and I had. They made me feel like they would have happily made extra room in their family for another week as cooly as they did for an extra day. Bernie is an untroubled, self-confident old girl who enjoys human and canine company, and this was a great environment for her with very nice dog-loving people.”

“Lech was great! He was very communicative, quick to respond, and always provided updates! Lots of pics and videos which is always fun to see. Our pup had a great time with Rizzo and the other doggies during his stay. Highly recommend!”
“Christine did an absolutely amazing job watching our 5-month old puppy! She sent photos and updates throughout the day, had lots of supplies so we didn’t have to pack too much, and even sent him home with an adorable Polaroid and treat bag. 100% your pup is in the right hands with Christine!”

“Katherine and her partner did a wonderful job taking care of my Aegon and I'd be delighted to have him stay there again! Cuddles and trips to the dog park, frequent communication and even a stuffy that my pup loved while he was there to take home! A great relief to have my boy cared for while I was away.”

“We LOVE Ruben!! Our puppy can definitely be a handful but somehow Ruben was able to make her feel comfortable enough in his home to not bark and to snuggle! We love knowing that our puppy was in safe hands and got to enjoy playing with Ruben’s dogs as well! We will definitely be calling Ruben for all future boardings! In addition to Ruben being awesome, his mom made us the sweetest card and sent Aya home with 2 new toys!”


“Ashley was great and took great care of our dog. She was communicative and sent a bunch of photos to make sure we were updated on how he was doing. Took him to the dog park, on walks, etc. Made us feel completely at ease while we were on a trip.”

“Rachel was great with our American bulldog. He stayed with her while we were out of town. She kept him active, happy and healthy while we were away. She was kind and loving, and I would totally recommend her!”

“A+++++!!!! Barbara and Chewy were absolutely incredible hosts!! We can't say enough about how thoughtful, generous, kind, and communicative that Barbara was during our trip. We were very anxious about leaving our dog (this was our first time using Rover), and she put us at ease, sent frequent updates (including pictures and videos), and was extremely thorough, dedicated, and friendly, and followed our care instructions extremely seriously. Her dog Chewy is a sweetheart who seems to be great as a co-host :) We absolutely recommend Barbara to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter, and we are so grateful to her for this experience!”

“Grace is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She sends timely updates and photos, is super responsive, and our cats seem to be really comfortable around her. She is also really respectful of our apartment and always take the time to take out the trash and recycling and clean up before she heads out. I would trust my cats with anyone else!”

She even got my super shy kitty to come out and play with her day 1! She also took amazing care of my older cat, who has some special dietary needs. I will definitely ask her to look after them again :)”

As a proud dog owner ourselves, the pups are never far from our minds and will get plenty of attention…maybe too much lol
“This was my first time using Dog Vacay and Robby and Nicole were amazing hosts - answering all my questions and welcoming my puppy Gipper into their home. I was so excited to see photos and get updates of Gipper in action all day. They were very accommodating and I felt very at ease leaving my little guy in their care. He had a ton of play time with their dogs as well and came home a happy, tired, cuddly pup. Gipper can't wait to go back and play some more!”


“Bere looked after Bruno all day yesterday. She provided regular updates and photos, which I appreciated. Overall, I'm satisfied with her service." And also for her patience thank you bere.”


“When I first saw Jennifer I knew right away that I could safely leave my dog to her. Cola had a great time with Jen and her family while we had a whole day trip in Chicago city. It’s very convenient that her place is only 15 mins away from the downtown area. Thank you Jen and family -Ryan from Minnesota”

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Ruben! We booked him to watch Tsuki for 3 days, and he was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He accepted our request last minute and was incredibly understanding of my situation. From the beginning, he genuinely wanted to help, which meant so much to me. Ruben was so kind and even offered to show me his place beforehand and clearly explain how everything works while he dog sits. He communicated so well throughout Tsuki’s 3 day stay and consistently gave me updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. One moment that really stood out to me was on the 3rd day when I realized I had forgotten to pack Tsuki’s food. I was already feeling stressed and overwhelmed, and Ruben immediately offered to feed her rice and chicken. It may seem like a small thing, but it genuinely meant so much to me in that moment and really showed me how willing he was to help and make sure Tsuki was taken care of. You can genuinely tell that Ruben cares about the dogs he watches. The way he talks about them and the way he gives updates felt so genuine. You can tell that he really takes the time to get to know each dog, pays attention to their needs, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy. It was clear to me that his care for Tsuki wasn’t just because she was staying with him it’s genuinely how he treats the dogs he dog sits for. Ruben is such a great guy with a kind heart and a really good attitude. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and support he gave Tsuki and for how reassuring he was throughout her 3 day stay. I would absolutely recommend Ruben to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog and treat them with kindness and patience. Tsuki was definitely in good hands! ❤️”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of who I am and I truly love spending time with them! I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog, so I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether your dog is staying with me for the day or just needs a walk, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles! I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’m always happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re in my care! 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week! I’m happy to provide daytime care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. As a teacher, my schedule may change once the school year begins, but I plan to continue offering pet care before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work with you to find a routine that works best for your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. When caring for dogs in my home, I’ll make sure they have a comfortable, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and opportunities to relax. I’m also happy to accommodate crates, special routines, or other needs to help your dog feel as comfortable and at home as possible.
“Raquel was able to help us out on our trip to Chicago by watching our guy Monty on short notice. Monty had a great afternoon with her. Appreciate the doggy daycare and would definitely do it again !”

“Karlee is amazing! I don’t have enough good things to say. She made sure Winston was comfortable and was so patient with his shyness. She’s a great communicator and I love that she sends updates with pictures throughout the day. It was scary for us to leave Winston with someone he didn’t know but Karlee made it so easy for us and we’re so grateful <3”

“Samuel was excellent with my girls. He kept me updated with their activities. He sent me many pictures and my girls were having a great time. I will be using Samuel more often. Thank you, Samuel.”

“I had the pleasure of having Emily watch my beloved pup, Izzy, through Rover, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Emily's care and attention to Izzy were exceptional. She treated Izzy as if she were her own, and it was evident that she genuinely loves dogs. Emily also kept me updated with messages throughout Izzy's stay, which was a thoughtful touch that put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter. She provides a loving and safe environment for your furry family members, making it easy to enjoy your time away without any worries.”

“Mike was on time and very good about walking our two dogs for a week! When we were busy on the phone, he was very respectful and still able to walk them without interrupting our calls. Thank you Mike!”

“Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!”

“Mariam has been a great dog walker for our senior dog Hannah- she is attentive, observant, caring and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond by giving our cats some attention as well and picks up on small details with our dog who is on medication which brings us such peace of mind.”

“Ryann was great with our puppy who has tons of energy and can be a handful at times! She sent plenty of updates and was very respectful and responsive in communications. Definitely will book again!”

“Jessica is wonderful! She has been very patient with our young, energetic (and sometimes poorly behaved) pit bull. She also has been patient with me, my husband, and our frequently changing schedule. Thank you for being so great and dependable!”

“Victoria was able to be there for my puppy when I needed her in a pinch! I’m so grateful for her! She was great with him during a busy season of my life! Thank you Victoria!!”

“Kexin is so amazing with our big pup, Ace! She is reliable, trustworthy, and great with dogs! She always sends us plenty of updates and photos of their adventures, even when they happen to be in the rain!!”

“Teddy finished his first week with Sonya & Bobby. He let his hair down as usual and was his goofy, snotty self. Hats off to you guys for giving Teddy a chance. He needs the walks & attention. You are so professional & pleasant. You must love dogs because Teddy is hard to reach. But he's happy.”


About: I have taken care of friends and clients dogs. The longest I watched a dog was 2 weeks. She is an Australian Shepherd and Boxer mix (high energy and very smart). Others breads I have taken care of are Doberman, Labradoodle, French Bulldog, Pit Bull, and Bulldog. Long walks and playtime are no biggie! Just a note, my household is just me and my boyfriend. I wake up at 6:30-7am, go on a walk, breakfast, play time, snack, nap (if needed, walk or play, relax, and dinner. I adjust to the needs of the dog, especially with physical activity. I am comfortable with high energy and low energy dogs. They will get a lot of love and encouragement the whole time. I live in a condo in a 12 story building. It is a dog friendly building with fenced in a play area. It is small but an easier way for any dog that needs to be let out. There are a couple of dog parks to walk to but can avoid and just walk if that is more comfortable for them.
About: Low rate as I acquire clients. I recently came back to this app. Therapist by trade and a pet lover in general :) I have three pets and one of them is a two year old mini Aussie. I regularly support a neighbor with their 11 year old pup and would like the opportunity to support your family in: * Teeth brushing * Crate Training * Baths & Grooming, at your request. * Walks around or in your neighborhood. * Administering medication. * Basic clicker training: I can support you and your pet(s) in reinforcing, sit, wait, spin, drop, high five, recall. * Exposure training for the anxious pups * All the cuddles, playing, and mental stimulation with safety in mind. Right now my availability is flexible after 10am and before 3:30pm. Late evening are open as well for walks. Message me, maybe we can figure something out! I will treat your pet as you do. I’m interested in what their day to day schedule looks like, their likes and dislikes, favorite toys, and how to best earn their trust.
About: I grew up with cats and have taken care of them my whole life, and I am now a full-time pet sitter! I have lived with dogs and done some care for them as well. I currently have a rabbit, rats, a frog, a gecko, and a jeweled lacerta, so I'm well-versed in pet care and in balancing multiple pets' needs! I am also experienced giving meds to rats, frogs, dogs, and cats, as well as caring for rabbits. I am a former librarian, but now I pet sit full-time, so I have a lot of daytime availability to take care of your pets! I'm very careful to triple-check that I'm following all the instructions I am left. I never want to leave out an instruction, since you know your pets best! I always make sure to give pets as much love as they want, but if your cat is shy, I'll give them their space! Please inform me in advance if anybody will be in the home while I am there. This does not preclude me taking care of the pets, it is just informational. Thanks! I pet sit full-time, so I have a lot of availability at all times of day, all week long. Just let me know what time you need and we'll make it work! I don't provide in-home services on Rover. However, my own pets get a lot of enrichment and as much attention as they want to have.
