“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“Laura was great with my little Abby. She was flexible with pick up/ drop off times, her home is clean and comfy, took her for a lovely walk to the park nearby and sent update pics. my pup was well taken care of. She even gave her a present to open on xmas and take home! So thoughtful :) will be booking with Laura next time i am out of town.”
“Five-star review for Mariah! 🌟 My dog, Lovely Bella, spent an extended weekend in her care, and it was an amazing first boarding experience. Mariah kept in consistent contact with us and sent plenty of photos to show how well Lovely Bella was doing. Upon return Lovely Bella was all smiles with a happily wagging tail! I can now travel with peace of mind knowing that the smallest member of our family is in such good hands.”
“Sheree was a great dog sitter while we were out of town. She kept us informed of everything via texts, pictures, and videos. It was very calming knowing that our pup was in good hands while we were out of town. I highly recommend her services if you need an experienced dog sitter! She is absolutely phenomenal”
“Leo and Mickey loved staying at Barbara's house. They said they felt right at home.( which may or may not be a good thing). They know if their human family goes away again they do not have to be afraid. If Barbara is home they are packing their things and going to her house!”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
“Iman was awesome with my Oreo. She was very accommodating with my schedule. She sent plenty of photos for updates during his stay. I could tell he really enjoyed himself because she got him to get in the pool lol. Iman is a sweetheart. She sent Oreo home with a special treat of homemade food. I would definitely use Iman again.”
“Ana and Byron were great! I was worried because Theo is a rescue we adopted only six months ago and in many ways he is still traumatized and shy. But he warmed up to them right away and there were no issues. They sent photos every day, which were a wonderful bonus and greatly eased my mind. Ana and Byron were so caring and attentive. We will definitely use them again!”
“Ericka was so friendly and sweet with my dog Duke! She asked great questions before the booking that made it clear she’s experienced with dogs and a proactive, thoughtful caregiver. Even more importantly, she asked if I had any questions about her, which really put my mind at ease and showed how professional and considerate she is. While I was away, she sent lots of photos and updates—Duke looked completely at home, especially curled up and relaxed on her couch. I know my dog well, and it was obvious from the photos that he felt safe, loved, and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust Ericka to watch Duke again and highly recommend her!”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“Juliana is amazing. She was able to accommodate on such a last minute booking. Her eager to understand your pet is beyond grateful. She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
“Rolanda was amazing! She kept me updated and sent pictures of Chloe throughout her stay! I can tell that Chloe was comfortable with her and she came back just as happy as she was before i dropped her off! I would definitely book with Rolanda again!”

I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.
“Best experience ever. I was extremely nervous about leaving my dog at first, but Latasha made me feel comfortable. She was able to accommodate my last minute booking and sent photo updates throughout.”
“Absolutely Wonderful ❣️ Mercedes & her family welcomed my SaxyPoo into their home 🏡 with big hugged & sloppy kisses👄. They kept him active with plenty of walks & play. Mercedes kept me abreast of my baby with a collage of pictures & messages. She is very organized & intentional about the care for each pet while demonstrating her knowledge of the family with homemade treats.”

“This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!”
About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.
“Due to a family member's illness, I had to be away from home for a month. I have two elderly cats that need daily care and take medication from their vet. I found Gianna on Rover and I am very happy with the care she provided my cats and the way she treated my home during my absence. Gianna completed all the tasks assigned to her and much more. She communicated daily with her reports, photos, and messages. She showed initiative in solving problems that arose in the day-to-day care of my cats, such as controlling a mini infestation of ants that entered the house due to one of my cats vomiting. On another occasion, she suggested changing the litter box of one of my cats for one that better suited his needs. She cleaned up countless times the messes made by my cats showing much patience and understanding. She also helped with the preparation of preventative measures to care for my cats during Hurricane Milton, such as moving my cats' beds and furniture away from the windows. She removed a barrier to provide an escape route for one of my cats in case of flooding. She also left extra food and water for the cats in case the streets were not walkable after the hurricane. Gianna gave my cats their medicines without any problems, following my instructions. Gianna also gave them lots of love and played with my cats, relieving the stress caused by my prolonged absence. Regarding my house, Gianna was very respectful, honest and helped with some tasks, such as watering my potted plants, sweeping up the scattered cat litter on the floor, and taking out the the garbage, so the garbage truck could take it away. Lastly, she also helped with some preparations of my house to better face the passage of the hurricane, such as bringing my potted plants into the house, closing and lowering blinds in case of strong winds. Gianna made me feel very connected to everything that was happening in my house. I hope to count on Gianna's help in the future and I 100% recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Bayli far outdid herself taking care of my furbabies. They got a little rambunctious while their humans were away and created a bit of a mess, with knocking items over and what not. Bayli cleaned up the mess and vacuumed up their sheddings(long hair cats). Not only would I highly recommend her, I will always use her to take care of my littles in the furture!!”
“Cassidy is great! Easy to coordinate with and reliable. My cat is a bit shy and it takes some time for him to warm up to people but she was so patient with him and always tried to win him over! Highly recommend.”
“Kiana took great care of my 5 cats while I was gone for 10 days. She sent me daily updates and photos of my cats. She took the time to play with them. She followed my feeding and cleaning instructions to the letter. My house looked exactly as it did when I left. I will no longer hesitate to go out of town now that I know I can reach out to Kiana.”
“Taryn was great! Sent lots of updates and photos and was very responsible and reliable. I highly recommend her and hope she would want to look after my cat again sometime!”

“Danielle cuddled with my babies and it was definitely nap time because they were monkeys earlier!! I think they’re going to get warmed up to her right away. They are a good little bunch, but I’m sure they will test her too. So far / so good!”

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my family since I was in middle school. I was very hands on in potty training when they were puppies. I’ve also gone to a lot of dog training classes in the past that taught me how to form healthy relationships with dogs. I am very flexible since I work from remotely Monday through Friday. I also have open availability on the weekends. Having a job that supports me working wherever allows me to provide more time to sit. Having a conversation with each owner really gives me insight into the dogs routine. I always ask what time their meals are as well as their walking schedule. I also like to ask home owners where all the dog’s items are located. I like to provide the dogs with a lot of affection and playtime.

My job continued changing my scheduled days due to the pandemic, Lilly was able to figure out a way to still make it work for us. Which we really appreciated. She even contacted Rover for us to ensure we got refunded for days that we may have cancelled. Not to mention, she also makes notes after every walk to make sure we always in the loop with Kylo. Lilly is the best!”

“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“Five-star review for Mariah! 🌟 My dog, Lovely Bella, spent an extended weekend in her care, and it was an amazing first boarding experience. Mariah kept in consistent contact with us and sent plenty of photos to show how well Lovely Bella was doing. Upon return Lovely Bella was all smiles with a happily wagging tail! I can now travel with peace of mind knowing that the smallest member of our family is in such good hands.”
“Sheree was a great dog sitter while we were out of town. She kept us informed of everything via texts, pictures, and videos. It was very calming knowing that our pup was in good hands while we were out of town. I highly recommend her services if you need an experienced dog sitter! She is absolutely phenomenal”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“Juliana is amazing. She was able to accommodate on such a last minute booking. Her eager to understand your pet is beyond grateful. She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals. I’m a teacher who is off all summer. I have plenty of time to fill and would love to look after your animals, either in my home, as a drop in, or just a walk. I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.
“Absolutely Wonderful ❣️ Mercedes & her family welcomed my SaxyPoo into their home 🏡 with big hugged & sloppy kisses👄. They kept him active with plenty of walks & play. Mercedes kept me abreast of my baby with a collage of pictures & messages. She is very organized & intentional about the care for each pet while demonstrating her knowledge of the family with homemade treats.”
About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.
“My dog Sadie loves to go to Eleanor's home. She prances right in. Eleanor is always responsive if I contact her while I am away. Often I will get pictures of Sadie hanging out or playing. It is as though she is part of the family. The large fenced yard and comfortable home allows Sadie to have fun, get exercise and feel right at home”
“Holly and kiddos took such great care of Lacey. I felt so comfortable and confident leaving our dog for a couple days. I so appreciated the updates and photos. Thank you so much.”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats. I currently have a senior Greyhound and would love to assist with caring for your pet while you can’t be there . I work during the week outside the home but stop home every four hours . I am home most evenings and weekends . I have a wonderful park with walking path two blocks away. I would crate your pet if you desire but have no problem with having your dog in my home without the crate ( as long as you know and trust your dog will be safe with mine )
“Wow! I am so thankful that Jennifer was able to watch my dogs this weekend. She is incredible! It is very clear she has a deep love for animals. She was so kind and gentle and understanding. She has a fenced yard so the dogs could run around and play. Her son was so amazing! He takes after his mom with his love for animals. I highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed. I felt at ease knowing they were with someone so loving.”
“Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.”
“April is great! Our dog is shy at first but April and her pack made him feel at home. She spent quality one on one time with him and I’m so appreciative of that! She is a phenomenal dog sitter and we’re definitely going to use her pet sitting services again! Thanks for everything April!”
“Stephanie was great! She was so responsive to any of our messages and was so sweet to our dog Bingo. He had a blast and came home so tired from all the fun he had with Stephanie. Will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter for our doggo!”
“Had another wonderful experience with Ken and his family! The daily pictures and videos help you feel connected. The love and care that Roo received was outstanding! I wish we could give them 100 stars!”
“I recently boarded my dogs with Jesseeka, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! She was absolutely fantastic—sending plenty of pictures, responding quickly to any questions, and making sure my dogs were well cared for. She even gave them baths, which was such a thoughtful touch! One of my dogs is quite skittish, and she went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. Another has some behavioral quirks, and she handled him with patience and skill. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
