“You and your family were truly wonderful. Thank you so much for embracing my fur baby and making him feel right at home. The constant reassurance, the beautiful pictures, and the updates meant more to me than you know. I could tell he was being loved and well cared for the entire time. You were also incredibly flexible and attentive, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful for the care you gave — we will definitely be back! A++++++++”

“Iman is so lovely! I am a new dog mom of a 2 yr old husky that I adopted from the South Suburban Humane Society. I was nervous about leaving my dog as it was my first time leaving her with a sitter and I didn’t know how she’d react staying overnight with other dogs. Iman reassured me that everything would be fine and gave me updates. She even gave me samples of dog treats, that my KoKo loved. I’ll definitely use her services again.”

“Great relief, knowing my dog Barbie was in great hands for two weeks. Latasha would also send updates and pictures which really was really comforting to know Barbie was being well took care of. Would highly recommend Latasha to family and friends.”


“Dwight is amazing with my pups. I feel very confident they are happy that they are well taken care of. And they have an added bonus of play time with his two dogs!! Bonanza!”

“I could not have found anyone more perfect to watch Corey! I can tell Monica and Daniel treated Corey as their own. I was so happy to see them playing with her and taking her places to run around, even during the cold, snowy days. The daily pictures let me know Corey was in good hands and on her own fun vacation!”

“Moppet really enjoyed his time with Bernice and playing with the other dogs his size in Bernice's beautiful back yard. He is looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with her and Cheddar. Bernice sent several pictures of him. Not only did he look happy and playful, but she actually got some really good pictures of him! (When I get out my phone to take pictures of Moppet, he turns his back to me like he doesn't want his picture taken.)”

“My two dogs had a great time with Jesus! We had something come up last minute and he responded very quickly. My pups also came back smelling nice so that’s always a plus :) will be using Jesus again in the future!”

“I was thoroughly please with Ebonee' s skills as a dog sitter, because she went beyond my expectations. Having her as my pet's sitter allowed me to enjoy my week long vacation. Daily she sent photos, videos, and a description of my pet's day. I was impressed by her knowledge of my dog's behavior. I strongly believe my dog enjoyed his stay and he will visit again. She is very personable individual which is an added bonus. In addition, the she is beyond the 5-star rating. I felt confident and comfortable with Ebonee!!!! Thanks again Ebonee for caring for Luke?”

“Laura took great care of my dog Alfie when I was out of town! She suggested an initial meet and greet, which was a fantastic idea since Alfie is very timid around new people/surroundings. While dog-sitting, Laura sent photo/text updates about Alfie and took him to the park (which he loves). He seemed very comfortable under her care. I'd recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for someone caring and reliable to look after their pet(s)!”

“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!!!”

“Megan and her family were absolutely incredible! This was the first time we used anyone outside of family or friends to take care of our belle and we were so lucky to find Megan. Megan and her family truly treated belle as if she was theirs. Megan sent daily updates and photos of how belle was doing and we loved seeing how much fun she was having with Megan’s dog Dottie and how much love and snuggles belle was getting on the daily! It was such a comfort and peace of mind knowing Belle was with Megan and getting the best care. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone especially if their dog loves snuggles! 😊Megan, we can’t thank your enough for taking such amazing care of Belle! 😊”

“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.”
“Our doggo had such a good time with Rachel and her family. Her communication was great and we got lots of pictures each day which made for a worry free vacation. We will be rebooking for our next vacation.”

“A true life saver! We attempted to keep our dog at a pet friendly hotel while we went to a concert, but Noodle decided she was going to let the hotel guests know how much she missed us by barking. We thought for sure we'd have to listen to the concert from the parking lot or just not go all together. Kathy responded very quickly, super nice and accommodating . Thank you again!”

“Christine is absolutely amazing! She’s watched my baby (Ryder) 3 times so far. Christine made me feel comfortable and reassured me that she was in good hands. She gives consistent updates and always responds promptly. She is great with puppies. Ryder also made friends while there. I’m so glad I found Christine and will book with her every time!”

“Rolanda was amazing! She sent me frequent updates and her dog was very compatible with mine. She treated my fur baby like it was her own. I definitely will use her again!”

“Kelera is absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive, detail-oriented, and timely in taking care of my fur babies while I was away. My babies warmed up to her instantly and we certainly won't hesitate to call upon her services again in the future. Kelera is the best!! 👍”

“Our cat loves Coretta! It is clear he just really enjoys his time with her because she takes a lot of time with him. We never worry about leaving our cat since she has started taking care of him, because it is always clear how much she cares about him and because she updates us with so many photos, we always know how well he is doing, which really gives us peace of mind .We really appreciate how communicative she is and how she always explains everything, which is super helpful. And that she takes the time to really meet our cat where he is - we are just so happy that she continues to be able to take care of him when we are away. We really recommend Coretta because she really takes the time to get to know your cat and then once she does, she takes the time to make sure your cat is happy and enjoys their time while you are away. Leaving one's pet is always stressful, but we know she is really there for our cat, which really helps.”


“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 have a lot of experience with cat care over the years and have taken care of felines with many different personalities. I am a pet parent to my own beloved kitty and understand that each cat is unique in their needs!
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ We had a last minute worry about our cat sitting situation so I went on Rover for the first time. We were gone for a few weeks and felt really bad for the cats. We feel so lucky to have found Lisa. She ended up spending more time with our cats than scheduled. She also was able to fix the schedule when we had to make a change. There are other things that helped our peace-of-mind like turning the porch light off each day and bringing the mail in so our home didn't look vacant. She cleaned up before leaving. She left detailed notes and sent cute photos daily of cuddling and playing with our cats :) We will definitely reach out to Lisa for our cat sitting in the future.”


“April was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mable! We only asked her to stop by once a day, but she went above and beyond every single visit. She spent extra time with Mable, stayed to keep her company, and was so kind and attentive. She even surprised Mable with a few new toys to play with while we were away, which was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture that she absolutely didn’t have to do. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mable was not only being cared for but genuinely loved while we were gone. We could tell April truly cares about the pets she watches, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Lauren was amazing! I felt so comfortable having her in my home. She gave me peace of mind that my cat was not alone and well taken care of while I was out of town working. Would recommend and use her again.”


“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.”

“Marissa was great! She arrived on time to meet my little pups before I went out of town, and also arrived on time the day I scheduled for her to come let them out. She played with them, took them for a walk, fed them, and changed out a potty pad.”

“David helped me with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He's watched Sam multiple times, and that was comforting. Plus, David made the trip on a day when we were getting hit by a snowstorm. I'm grateful for his help and care with Sam.”

“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!”
“I give Iman 5 stars times 20. This is my first time using Rover and I selected Iman for home drop in visits for the week I was on work related travel. To say I was nervous is an understatement. However, from the time I met Iman I knew she was the right choice. I perceived her to be a gentle, compassionate and honest person. This was important to me considering the temperament of my fur babies. One is a rescue due to abuse and none have ever been border and I wanted them to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yes I got that vibe from just meeting her. Very positive ora and energy. Iman exceeded my expectation. My 4 fur babies took to her right away and she cared for them as I would. You can tell this is not just work for Iman it’s what she loves. She absolutely has a love for and way with animals.t antisocial cats were even drawn to her. She made sure the house was locked and secured each time and that the alarm was set. I will definitely continue to utilize her services for my fur babies. I can’t express my gratitude enough for having such an amazing and outstanding sitter. Also, they loved her dog food. ❤️”

“Isabel was wonderful with Piper! She was incredibly responsive and communicative, sent us lots of photos throughout the weekend, and was so flexible and easy to work with. Most importantly, we could tell Piper was treated with so much love and care. Isabel’s Bernese Mountain Dog was super friendly, and the two dogs got along great! We felt completely comfortable having Piper in her care and would absolutely love to use Isabel’s dog-sitting services again. Highly recommend!”

I’ll follow your care instructions closely, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and provide a loving, dependable environment while you’re away.

“Iman was wonderful! I have never left my dogs before but had to in order to move. She was patient, truthful, transparent about her services, and most importantly KIND. I was a mess and she talked me through all the changes and what she thought was best for my animals. She was very professional when she met them and when we walked them. She came at all of her scheduled visits and spent time with them even sending me photos to keep me calm. Most importantly, the last photo she sent me of my little, old lady, I could tell that Leela was sad to see her new friend go. She really did a great job caring for my babies and even left me samples of her dog food. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!!”


“Gillian communicates well and answers my messages in a timely fashion. She is on time for her visits. My pup Ransom is usually hesitant the first few times around a new sitter, but warmed to Gillian and went on a walk with her no problem. Thank you.”

About: I have been a dog lover for many years and had the privilege of taking care of a chihuahua and a pug throughout their lives. Being a pet owner taught me the importance of patience and paying attention to each dogs needs and personality. I understand that pets are family, and i know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing together, I’ll provide attentive and loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide care to your pup after work during the weekends. I’m completely available on wednesdays and weekends. Your pets safely and comfort are my top priorities. I have a calm, secure environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I currently do not have any animals so your animals can enjoy an stress-free environment. As for in-home visits, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their routine and ensure they feel secure and cared for in their home.
About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

“Megan and her family were absolutely incredible! This was the first time we used anyone outside of family or friends to take care of our belle and we were so lucky to find Megan. Megan and her family truly treated belle as if she was theirs. Megan sent daily updates and photos of how belle was doing and we loved seeing how much fun she was having with Megan’s dog Dottie and how much love and snuggles belle was getting on the daily! It was such a comfort and peace of mind knowing Belle was with Megan and getting the best care. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone especially if their dog loves snuggles! 😊Megan, we can’t thank your enough for taking such amazing care of Belle! 😊”

“Our doggo had such a good time with Rachel and her family. Her communication was great and we got lots of pictures each day which made for a worry free vacation. We will be rebooking for our next vacation.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog, Zevs, was in such good hands. The level of care, attention, and genuine love he received was truly beyond our expectations. Throughout the entire stay, we received constant updates — photos, and little notes about how Zevs was doing each day. It meant so much to us to see him happy, relaxed, and having fun with the other dogs. It was obvious that he was not only well cared for but also genuinely enjoyed his time there. Zevs looked completely comfortable and settled, which says everything about the warm, calm, and loving environment he was in. We are incredibly grateful for the amazing communication, care, and effort. We’ll definitely be bringing Zevs back again — and recommending this sitter to everyone we know! Thank you for making our time away so much easier knowing our boy was safe, happy, and loved.”


“Elizabeth was a wonderful sitter for my two "peanuts" as she called them :) I got daily updates and pictures. The dogs came back super relaxed and happy. I can tell they had a great time with the kiddos.”

“I am so glad to have had the pleasure to meet Stefanie. I was in a real bind trying to find a last minute sitter for my dog Shelby. Although I was a bit nervous because my dog usually travels with me, Stefanie assured me that all would be OK. I left feeling totally comfortable and confident that I would be leaving Shelby in good hands. Except for a small hiccup in times, everything was GREAT!! I would definitely recommend and l, will for sure be using her again. Thanks Stefanie!!”

“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”

“Arianna is an excellent dog sitter!! She took great care of my Izzy. My Izzy is a shy and nervous girl and Arianna made sure to keep her calm and comfortable. Arianna also gave frequent updates and pictures. I would highly recommend letting Arianna watch your dog. She is great !!!”
“April was great! From one sitter to another I appreciated her experience, professionalism and care. My dogs had a great time with her, and I had peace of mind knowing my mischievous beagles were in good hands!”


“I'm always anxious about leaving my little shadow dog, Jezebel ? in anyone else's care while I'm far away on vacation. But Cary B. and her awesome family took good care of her for me. I'm already making plans for next year's vacation,and will definitely be booking again with Cary B.”

“I was so nervous about using a dog sitter for my 2 fur babies. I was especially concerned about my youngest dog who we adopted from an animal shelter because she is fearful of people she doesn’t know. MariaJose quickly put my mind and heart at ease. She boarded Prince and Bella for a week. Not only did she send messages to let me know they were doing well, she also sent pictures and videos. My babies were happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her as a sitter.”

“Suzy was absolutely amazing with Kiba! I had regular updates from her about how she was socializing, eating, eating, and taking care of business. :) I’ll absolutely be contacting Suzy again next time I’m in need of boarding!! 5 stars!”

“Matt and his family took such wonderful care of Bean! He provided regular updates and pictures which was much appreciated. Matt was also very flexible and understanding with pickup/drop off times. Bean had a great time and came home a very tired, happy boy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Matt! Highly recommend as he will love your pup like it’s his own.”

“Heather and Israel were great - always responsive, let us know how things were going and our pup was adapting while we were gone for the weekend. Our flight was cancelled and they were so kind to watch our pup an extra night and be flexible with the pickup time. Our pup had so much fun and we will definitely use them again!”

“Willie had an amazing time with Lech & Briseida! It was really nice to see him having fun in the daily updates on instagram. Their dog Rizzo was so gentle and sweet, she was a great playing buddy for Willie. Willie can be nervous around high energy dogs and daycare environments, so having Rizzo was a great way for him to get some healthy socialization and playtime. I absolutely trust Lech & Briseida to care for Willie again and have booked them for two more stays already!”

“Michelle and Christy are phenomenal!! They watched my energetic golden retriever for 11 days over the holidays. Having met them a few weeks prior to the extended Rover visit, it was clear that they are really great people, whose positive qualities directly translated into the great amount of care they provided for Mr. Chips during his stay. The amount of updates and open communication they were willing to provide throughout the stay also made a world of difference. Seeing chips having tons of fun totally removed any sense of the worry I would have had leaving him for the 11 days. To top it off, they have a huge fenced in back yard, perfect for doggies to run and play in - and 2 cute dogs for Mr. Chips to play with. 10 out of 10.”
