“Jackie is the best sitter I have had since using Rover. I am at total ease leaving Frito with her. She sends lots of pictures and he loves being there. He snuggles up with Jackie and her family members. I see that he feels safe which is quite an accomplishment given his anxious nature. Jackie is professional and has followed my detailed instructions for Frito everytime. I am so grateful I found her on Rover.com. I don't want to leave Frito with anyone else. I highly recommend Jackie - you will not be dissapointed.”

“This was our first time our Goldendoodle (80lbs) stayed with her and her dog. They played well and she took great care of him. We appreciate Niratcha sending us daily pictures in the morning and night to see how Kipper was doing. Happy with her and we just rebooked with her. Thank you.”
“Penny was amazing! I left my pup, Ginger, with her for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Penny sent pictures of Ginger and made sure she had plenty of activity. I even noticed that Ginger had lost a few pounds that she needed to lose! I would highly recommend Penny!”
“Shauna and Peter took such wonderful care of our dog Gracie. Not only did they follow our instructions for her basic care, such as food, medications, daily walks and play, but the whole family gave her so much love and attention. She is a very affectionate dog and they treated her as if she was their own. We were on a long trip overseas and Shauna’s daily communication and photos gave us such a peace of mind that our sweet pup was doing just fine. We feel so blessed to have found them and can not thank them enough for the perfect care they gave Gracie! We highly recommend Shauna and Peter to care for your dog. They are the best!”

About: I have had a yorkie growing up named Daisy! She had a long 16 year life before passing Christmas of 2018. She loved to play with her toys and run around the back yard. I'm looking to care for others pets like I did my own. My fiancé and I adopted our current dog Piper in 2024 she is a 20 pound mixed poodle/ King Charles cavalier and a few other breeds all into one. I would say she is our soul dog. She has brought us so much joy and laughter!! I love being outside with dogs, going on walks and playing with toys. The joy they get when being active brings me happiness. I want to be able to provide those services to people who are in need due to time constraints or other life obligations. Absolutely it does! With my flexible sales schedule I am always around to give my dog Piper the care and love she needs. Which is exactly what your dog will get! Some would say piper (my dog) gets treated like royalty. She is a princess and is cared for like no other. This is exactly how your pet will get taken care of.
“Steph was awesome! This was my first experience with Rover and I have a Boykin Spaniel, which is a 16 month old 40lb high energy hunting machine. She excepted the challenge and treated Kola like he was her own. Very pleased with the whole experience and Steph. I took a fly-in fishing to the northern woods of Canada and due to fires and bad weather in the area had to extend my stay for an additional two days up there because the float plane couldn't come get us. Steph rearranged her schedule to accommodate me. I didn't expect her to do that but greatly appreciate her for doing so. I highly recommend Steph, will use her again in the future (that is if she'll let me LOL).”

“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend.

I wouldn't hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional sitter. Thank you, Megan, for everything!”
“Brianna did great caring for our cat while we were away. She paid great attention to detail and took notes on everything we went over. The cat was fed daily, water was kept clean, litter box(es) scooped, and all areas were kept very clean. In addition to taking great care of the cat, Brianna was willing to also check on our frog and maintain his waterfall and water bowl, which was a great extra bit of help. We received great photos of both the cat and the frog daily. We would absolutely trust her to care for our pets again in the future.”

“This is our second time we have Jackie but having another second dog is a little bit more challenging but it all went well as expected. Jackie always keeps us all updated with photos and videos that really makes us feel happy and secured that our furbabies are safe and well taken care of. Definitely Charlie had so much fun playing with the other dogs and Pebbles enjoyed watching them. Thank you again Jackie for keeping our furbabies for the day. We will absolutely see you again!”

I will definitely book with Jacqueline and Uriel in the future. Thank you so much! 🙏🏽🤗”

“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”
“We loved working with Katey! We left our fur baby in her care and we couldn’t be happier!!! She was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in keeping us updated. It was the first time we had to leave our doggo in someone else’s care. So the texts and pictures meant a lot! :) Katey is super kind and sweet! And she has an awesome family! We have already booked her again!”
“Min was wonderful with my large dog, Tamale. She reads the dog's body language very well. She sent lots of pics and seemed to really enjoy Tamale's company. I will definitely ask her to dog sit as my regular "go to" person. Thanx Min!”
“Mary was communicative, friendly, and super flexible with my puppy's first stay away. He is in a challenging phase but she handled it in stride. My pup was extremely happy in the photos and videos she was kind enough to send and came home ready to snooze :) Thank you!”
“Marilyn and her son Adam were awesome. I took my 11 month old and 50 pound pitbull mix to them for a few hours and it looks like my pup had a great and fun time. From when my pup first met them, she was shy but she warmed up to Marilyn and Adam within minutes. She came home pretty tired as she probably ran around quite a bit and was entertained by them during their care. Thank you both!”
“Thank you soooo much for taking him for the day! He is tired out and happy! Thank you for al the updates of photos and videos I will deff be bringing him back so he can play again! Thanks so much guys I highly recommend her!! Very great!”

“Wendy has been walking my puppy, Missy, three days a week for 30 minutes each time, and she’s been wonderful. Missy always comes back happy and relaxed after their walks. Missy is a diva and sometimes resists going out, but Wendy is always patient, kind, and understanding with her. I especially love the feedback and pictures Wendy shares after each walk—they give me a lot of comfort and peace knowing how Missy is doing. I’ve really appreciated the care and consistency she brings to every visit, and I hope to see her back in the spring.”

She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”

I can’t say enough good about how they treated him. Obviously we will be using them again!”

I am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, because my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, indoor or outdoor play sessions, or relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll tailor their care to their unique personality and routine. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs and am comfortable administering medication, preparing special diets, and providing extra care and attention. I love having dogs around and would be delighted to welcome your pet into my home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I ask that dogs be friendly around children, adults, and other dogs. Meet and greets—virtual or in person—are required before booking so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work a flexible hybrid schedule, with three days per week at home and my office is close enough to come home midday on office days for walks and all your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious townhome and do not have a fenced yard, but if your dog enjoys leashed walks and outdoor playtime, I have easy access to open outdoor spaces, parks, and nature trails. In my home, dogs are a part of the family and welcome to make themselves comfortable just as they would in your home. They are welcome to relax on the couch, snooze on the bed, or use their own bed or crate if that’s most comfortable. I want your dog (and you) to feel relaxed and safe until your return.
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Maria was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew he was in great hands. She took him on long, enjoyable walks and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria was incredibly responsive and clearly treated our dog with so much love and care. He came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored his time with her. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“Jayda was absolutely amazing with, Link! From the very first visit, they were so kind, reliable, and clearly great with animals. Link can be a little shy, but he warmed up right away, which says a lot! We loved getting the daily updates and photos; Thank you so much, Jayda, for treating Link like your own. We’ll definitely be booking with you again! 🐾”
“Painless and worry free experience, especially for a family that usually takes our dog with us on vacations. We were at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Received daily updates and prompt communication. Highly recommended!”
“Marilyn was a great sitter when I had to board my dog with her for a night. She was very caring, and kept updating me with pictures of duke while he was with her. She was also flexible with drop off/pick up time. Truly recommend.”
“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.”
“We couldn’t be happier about the care our greyhound Steely Dan received from Derek and his family while we were on a 3-week vacation. During the time we were away we regularly received updates and photos that assured us Steely was being made to feel at home. Derek has a large dog, Ellie, who is quite friendly, and there were no issues with Steely and Ellie spending time together. Steely is sensitive to thunderstorms, and the meds we provided were administered appropriately with no issues. Finally, when we picked Steely up, he seemed relaxed and content. We always felt confident he was in exceedingly capable hands.”
“Giselle is a fantastic dog sitter! She has taken excellent care of my dog on more than one occasion. My dog is excited to see her and her daughters every time—to me that is everything! Highly recommend!”
