“Great experience with Kyla, it was my first time using the service for my Teddy and I was really nervous to not have him with family who normally watch him and since my daughter was moving same weekend(who normally has watched him) I said let me read reviews and go with it. Kyla kept me informed on Teddy’s progress with pictures and videos and my boy seemed happy to be there. I will use again in future for upcoming trips.”

“Wonderful experience. I got pictures and updates everyday. My little guy had so much fun he loved his time there and made new friends. So much so that the day he went back home he was a little sad. He missed his new buddies. Definitely would recommend and will be a repeat customer.”

“Baily did an outstanding job taking care of our little Greta (6 years old pug/boston terrier mix rescue). She kept us updated on Greta's stay with her and it was obvious from the updates and accompanying photos that Greta was feeling right at home and being showered with affection by Baily.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy — not just watched. It would truly be an honor to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention every pet deserves. Daily and evening care including walks, feedings, playmate, bath time and bed time with any other activities including the dog park when availabe based on weathe. Pets are free to roam while I am home and crated when I need to run errands. They are treated like the rest of the family.
“Best dog sitter Rylee (my dog) and I have ever had. It’s her home away from home. She comes home happy, healthy, and super sleepy from all the play. We are so lucky to have found this beautiful family. Thank you!!!!”

“Kandyce was great with our dog and with us! She kept in touch and was responsive, while also being patient with our dog's idiosyncrasies. The dog loved playing with Kandyce's dogs, too. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter or boarder for our dog. And that means a lot because we are very picky when it comes to our dog. Kind, thorough, responsive, and actually cares about our dog!”

“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”

“Barbara had great communication and provided pics and updates. I appreciated that she provided my pup with lots of activity and our dog was pooped when she got home!”

“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”

“Lorraine took great care of Pucci! She is welcoming and very attentive to his needs, as well as having a nice yard for some outside time. We received frequent photos as always feel assured that he is in great hands when we are out of town :)”


“Cary and her daughter are wonderful. Mac was there for a week and made himself at home. A nice fenced in yard and he was treated as one of the family. I highly recommend.”

“Watched our very young puppy for a night and was amazing, very communicative, and flexible. The puppy seemed to have a great time with him and the resident dogs, and he sent tons of photos.”

“Tanqueray was phenomenal with my sweet but anxious older little guy. She took his unique needs into consideration as she thoughtfully planned his stay. He was comfortable and happy, which I knew because he doesn’t usually go up to sitters to say bye when I pick him up. But he did this with her. He made new doggy friends on his walks (which he’s also not always up to) and he and Sir, a sweet little guy, got along wonderfully. I’m grateful for Tanqueray and the loving care she took of my pup.”

“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!”

“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”

“Manuel is the best. He’s looked after my little corgi Kit twice now and has done an excellent job. I can’t recommend him enough! Your pup will always be in good hands with Manuel. Thanks so much!!”

“Shirley was absolutely amazing with our older pup! He had an amazing time. Shirley went above and beyond to make sure our pups needs were met and that he was happy. She sent pictures and videos and gave us updates regularly. Shirley was the best! Would use her again and would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Dayana really took car of my dog. She sent pics and videos regularly to keep me updated, and it was obvious that my puppy was enjoying himself. Really appreciate the care and attention!”

“Max was very helpful when I booked him last minute. He was on time for all of his visits, took great photos of our elderly dog and was extremely gently and kind. He definitely has a special touch for animals!”


“We were very happy with NaBeela's service. She is reliable, responsive and caring. She developed a sweet relationship with our cat Sidney. NaBeela changed her schedule to accommodate us when we requested a last minute visit schedule change. In addition, she graciously assisted us with a household issue during our absence. On our return, our pets were totally unperturbed, which is a measure of how well they were cared for during our trip. We unquestionably recommend NaBeela as a great pet sitter and kind person. i will definitely request her services again.”

About: I have 18 years of animal care experience, including my beloved dog Belle, who was part of the family for 11 years before she went to doggy heaven. I worked at a veterinary center for 2 years and a doggy daycare, so I know exactly how to care for every type of dog. I also have experience with dog walking and doing house visits - just my first time using Rover! As far as training experience, I interned at the Shedd Aquarium working alongside dolphin, otter, and penguin trainers so I even have a stash of knowledge about animal training. I have a Bachelor of Science in animal sciences, so I understand your pets inside and out. I have a lot more experience with animal care that I would love to share, just send me a message! Sundays and Mondays are usually open. During the week, I'm mostly available for evening drop-in visits and walks after 5pm or so, but I may have some flexibility so feel free to ask! I always treat my clients' homes with respect. Locking the door back while I walk your dog, cleaning up any messes, and sticking to task are all part of my routine. Because of my years of animal care experience, I am trained to look for abnormal behaviors in pets and follow-up. I provide photos and messages with updates so you never have to worry if everything is alright. Currently, I do not own any pets of any kind so you don't have to worry about your pet interacting with any other animals.

“Dayana is always so quick to respond to bookings, despite last minute requests. She is always keeping me updated throughout using video. Kitty loves going over because there is usually others dog she can play with. So happy we found Dayana!”

“I can’t recommend Mary enough! She stepped in last minute to take care of our pup, Monty, for a full day, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we met her, she was welcoming and friendly, giving us a tour of her lovely home, which put us at ease knowing Monty would be well cared for. Mary took Monty out for a walk, fed him, and even has grassy areas in her backyard for him to enjoy. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. It was clear he was having a great time! If you’re looking for someone to care for your pup, look no further than Mary. She truly is fantastic!”

“Karen takes such great care of my baby. She is so kind, loving, attentive. I really appreciate her excellent communication, frequent updates, and professionalism. We can’t wait to see her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Robert! I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who believes every pet deserves patience, attention, and love. As someone who is vegan and deeply passionate about animal welfare, I have a strong appreciation for the bond people share with their pets. What sets me apart is my compassion, responsibility, and commitment to providing a safe and comfortable environment for every animal in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and energy levels, including playful puppies, adult pets, and senior animals who may need extra patience and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy having animals around and making time for their needs. I’m organized and responsible, so I can provide consistent care through walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions to help their pets feel comfortable and cared for while they’re away. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I look forward to as part of my day rather than just a responsibility. I believe safety and trust are the foundation of good pet care. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and secure environment. I will follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, medications (if applicable), and any special needs their pet may have. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable through patience, attention, playtime, and companionship. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will treat their home with the same respect I would want for my own. My goal is to give both pets and owners peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving safe, responsible, and loving care.
“Christine was our life saver when we visited Chicago. It was a last minute booking and she accommodated us quickly. She loved our fur baby! Our Rollo had a blast with her and her beautiful cats ♥️ Thank you, Christine! We appreciate your love and care for fur babies.”

“Luisa helps us to feel like our Murphy is safe and cared for while we are at work. She’s great at updating pictures throughout the day and he LOVES it there. They even let him borrow a toy to keep until next daycare. The best!”

About: We are the proud owners of an adorable dog (Ace) and are adept with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Everyone in the house (Micah and I) work from home full-time, so the dogs will never be left alone. Ace is always great host and will have a lot of fun with his new furry friend 😊 Ace (a miniature poodle / Bishon mix) can mingle with any visitors but can be separated upon request. Please bring dog beds and food. We can’t wait to host your little friend! We work from home full time and plenty the time to dedicate to watching and playing with the pups! Morning walks, afternoon potty breaks, whatever the dogs needs are will be met. Fenced in backyard and large park across the street for long walks. Perfect environment for your dogs staycation! As a proud dog owner ourselves, the pups are never far from our minds and will get plenty of attention…maybe too much lol
“Attentive and friendly. I felt really good about leaving my two dogs with her and she communicated very well throughout the whole process. I will definitely be requesting her again; she was so good to my dogs.”

“My dog Coco had a wonderful time with Emily and Amy and their dog, Pepperoni 🌶. I would certainly recommend Emily to anyone needing doggy day care. And I will certainly bring Coco again.”

“Finding Rosario was truly a lifesaver! She’s so reliable and I know Mac is in good hands when he is with her. I’ve booked Rosario for walks and daycare and she sends updates and pictures throughout the entire visit. Rosario treats Mac as if he is her own and gives him all the love and attention he deserves when I’m at work. So happy to have found her! Thank you!”

“Lorraine was amazing! She was so nice and inviting. Haku had a wonderful day hanging out in her lovely home and running around her yard! Definitely recommend Lorraine, she sent a ton of pictures and updates which I greatly appreciate!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats throughout the years. Usually neighbors or family friends. I’m relied on to feed , walk / clean litter boxes for the animals I have pet sat for. I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages. I currently work hybrid. So I’m at home most of the week. I also have a partner who works fully remote and will step in when I’m not home. For dog/cat sitting at your house , I clean up after your pet !! I clean up after your pet if they have any accidents and make sure they are feed and have plenty of water. I enjoy walks and can ensure your dog gets some outdoor time so they can get some exercise. I am able to give dog’s/cats medicine. I will also try to keep your pets schedule similar to what you have in place ! I want your pet comfortable
“Very communicative and caring with my two dogs, which is no easy feat given that one is a puppy and the other a giant. Would highly recommend and will no doubt use again.”
“Yuetong is amazing. I am so happy and grateful that Haku had a wonderful day with her today. She took him to the dog park and he had a blast! Haku is always so excited to see Yuetong and her fur babies. We can’t wait to see them again!”

About: I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, all sizes and ages, several with serious medical needs. As a child, my family bred and raised Irish Setters and kept any pup that was not 100% healthy for adoption. Therefore I have experience with all aspects of pet care and I have raised my kids to do the same. We are Tara (49yr), Jaden (15yr) and Alia (12yr) and have been dog sitting for friends and family for years and really enjoy hosting pups to play with and pamper on the weekends since unfortunately we are not home enough during the week to provide adequate care and attention to a full time pup. Our three kitties are very accustomed to dogs but we have plenty of room to separate them if they overstimulate your doggy. Our three level home, plus large back yard, will give your pup plenty of room to play inside and out! We typically run and play in the backyard during potty breaks and go out for several walks a day. The yard is only 90% fenced so I have several 50ft leashes around the yard to provide the illusion of freedom while maintaining safety. If your pup is high energy, they can also play with the neighbor’s dogs or we can take a trip to the dog park so they can socialize and run with other pups. I assure you they will get lots of cuddles and attention and I will send photos and vids of your pup to you throughout their stay! I am available for boarding in my home on the weekends, beginning Friday evening through Monday morning. I can also board at your home from Saturday morning through Sunday evening. I will treat your pet like a member of the family! If they get muddy in the backyard I have no problem giving them a bath and brushing them. They are welcome on the furniture and will not be left alone while they are in my care.

“Tamara is amazing. Our dog Luna loves her walks with her. We know she is in good hands. I would recommend Tamara to anyone that has a dog and wants to know your baby is taking care of.”

“Natalia walks both our dogs and she's great with them. They're so excited to see her and she's so courteous when coming to the house or bringing them home. We will continue to have her walk our very energetic pup and older gentlemen for weekly walks and have no reservations about fully recommending her.”

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the holidays with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away! I have access to a car and am eager to work. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.

About: My brother in law breeds bulldogs, so I’ve had pretty of experience caring for dogs of any age! From puppies to older dogs, I am attentive and skilled while still having passion for it :) I work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility to dedicate real, quality time to your pets — not just a rushed visit. I’m currently building up my pet care business while saving for an exciting move to Austin, TX, so I’m motivated, reliable, and genuinely excited to build lasting relationships with the pets (and people!) I work with. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member — reach out anytime to chat about your pet’s specific needs! My love for animals runs deep — for the past 5 years, I’ve helped care for dogs of all ages by assisting my brother-in-law, who breeds bulldogs. From bottle-feeding tiny puppies to managing the needs of full-grown adults, I’ve learned firsthand how to read a dog’s body language, handle different temperaments, and provide the patient, attentive care every pet deserves.
“Has been walking my little Chihuahua for a few weeks now, he was hesitant at first but now he gets so excited when she arrives! Takes her time, lets them sniff around as I asked, and always sends cute pics of the walk. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: UPDATE JULY 2024, PLEASE READ: If you see that my reply time is incredibly slow, it's because my account was inactive for a while due to my dad being hospitalized. I had to help care for him for a long period of time and I was unable to reply to any messages on Rover. My dad is okay now and I am available for walks and sitting again. I was a dog groomer for almost 2 years. I'm well-trained in animal safety. I care deeply about all animals, so I'll form a bond with your animals. I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have loads of time to provide love for your animals of any kind! Just let me know what you need/what you're looking for! I understand the basics of taking care of dogs, cats and other animals just like most pet sitters. But I also provide what some sitters don't: love! I'm very sweet and I can give your animals great love and care. Plus, I'll provide some pretty amazing photos of them. If anything out of the ordinary does happen, I will do my best to help and I will contact you immediately.

Making that a total of three sons (one baby boy,two dogs), my dogs are small but I also have had dogs that were much bigger than I am. My dog that was bigger than I was had to go to doggy heaven, but it explains that I have experience with different sizes and breeds. I love animals and would love to be apart of your fur baby’s life. I wouldn’t mind dog sitting or dog walking. Let me know if you need me, I am available more in the evening or available to schedule if needed.

About: My name is Kimberly and I'm an empathetic animal lover who enjoys a weekend of hanging out with animals more than humans. I grew up with a house full of pets (cats, dogs, ferrets, birds) and have over 11 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter for all kinds of critters and pets. I know how much you'll be missing your pet as they are your family, so I love to provide photos with anecdotes of our day. You'll never doubt how much love they'll be getting when they're in my hands. I have experience with large and small breeds, as well pets who need extra love and care. My gentle nature makes me perfect for anxious pets and my extreme attention to detail makes you feel confident that they are getting the best, most loving care.

My dog is a senior dog with social needs, so I have plenty of experience accommodating to your pets' needs. My quiet nature and patience is quickly detected by all furbabies. What's the best way your pet will feel comforted when you're gone - I'll go ahead and do just that! Your pet will be pampered! I work freelance, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can work around your schedule and needs to make sure your pet is getting the best care possible. At your home, you can rest assured that every instruction will followed closely and perfectly. I also have extreme respect for being inside others homes. I grew up helping my mom cleaning houses, and it's been ingrained in me to always respect the home and space you are in. I always provide a peace of mind with any pet parent gone, either leaving town for a few days or just a visit for one afternoon. Your pets will be treated with the best care, and I understand that everyone has their own unique way of caring for their pet. I want to respect your wishes and make your furbaby happy 😊

“Best dog sitter Rylee (my dog) and I have ever had. It’s her home away from home. She comes home happy, healthy, and super sleepy from all the play. We are so lucky to have found this beautiful family. Thank you!!!!”

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter or boarder for our dog. And that means a lot because we are very picky when it comes to our dog. Kind, thorough, responsive, and actually cares about our dog!”

“Lorraine took great care of Pucci! She is welcoming and very attentive to his needs, as well as having a nice yard for some outside time. We received frequent photos as always feel assured that he is in great hands when we are out of town :)”


“Cary and her daughter are wonderful. Mac was there for a week and made himself at home. A nice fenced in yard and he was treated as one of the family. I highly recommend.”

“Watched our very young puppy for a night and was amazing, very communicative, and flexible. The puppy seemed to have a great time with him and the resident dogs, and he sent tons of photos.”

“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!”

“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”

“Manuel is the best. He’s looked after my little corgi Kit twice now and has done an excellent job. I can’t recommend him enough! Your pup will always be in good hands with Manuel. Thanks so much!!”

“Dayana really took car of my dog. She sent pics and videos regularly to keep me updated, and it was obvious that my puppy was enjoying himself. Really appreciate the care and attention!”

“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”


“Magdalena did a great job watching our dog for the week. She proactively provided updates and pictures and was very responsive. She exhibited great care for our dog asking questions related to behaviors and patterns. Will trust her to watch our pets in the future!”


“Really appreciate Ashley take care of our dog for a long weekend! Ashley is super considerate and communicative - you can expect to receive regular updates on how your pup is doing and you can tell she goes to great lengths to ensure every pet that stays with her has a great experience. I would absolutely choose Ashley again for boarding!”
“Adolfo was very responsive and worked with my dog Lily to ensure she was comfortable! He sent me daily picture updates, which help someone nervous with leaving their pup behind. I would recommend Adolfo and would use him again in the future if needed!”

“Elisa was great - my dog Keds had a blast during her stay! Elisa was very flexible with pickup and drop off, working around my schedule. I also received regular updates and photos throughout my trip!”

“Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.”

“Everything went very well. Lucy seemed happy and well taken care of. Malchom, Nicole and kids do a great job letting Lucy be part of the family. I’m sure Lucy enjoys being with the children. Would definitely keep using their services.”
