“Mary took such good care of my miniature schnauzer who is cautious and shy. She was a great communicator. She sent pictures showing me he was happy and doing well and when I picked him he was as contentedly curled up asleep. I am so thrilled to be able to have Mary sit for him again in the future.”
“Angelina was fantastic! She took great care of Sammy, and sent us lots of photos while we were away. Excellent communication and very easy to work with. I would absolutely ask Angelina to watch Sammy again!! Thank you!”
“Svetlana and her family were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Milo! They’re kind, caring, and made him feel completely at home. Milo loved all the cuddles and attention he got — he clearly enjoyed spending time with them. I could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. I’m so grateful to have found such a loving family to look after him. Highly recommend Svetlana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and affectionate sitter!”
“Yingying took care of my dog really well for the week. My dog Nia has separation anxiety and yingying let her sleep in the bedroom to keep her calm. We really appreciate it.”
“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”
“Yvonne and her family are just wonderful caretakers! Communication is awesome and the warm loving spirit is just what we are looking for. My dog is so happy to arrive and I can tell he wants to bring them home with us.”
“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”
“Kira and her family were wonderful with Luna. Their level of detail and organization was impressive. They integrated Luna with the other dogs beautifully. We are very grateful.”
“Alison was responsive and thoughtful. She agreed to sit our utterly over-exuberant 14-month-old black Lab and we were so concerned that Alison’s family would be overwhelmed. Instead, she sent encouraging notes and exercised our dog extensively, so that she returned home relaxed. We really could not have asked for a better situation. Great people, a terrific fenced back yard, and good communication. Hard to beat that.”
“Michelle was great and super responsive and a great communicator! She took Sansa very short notice without a problem! Her two dogs were great playmates for Sansa! Wonderful experience”
“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”
“Liliya did a wonderful job boarding our dog! She was so communicative, took wonderful pictures, and took care of our pup while he had an upset stomach. She is wonderful and we would highly recommend her, and her family to anyone looking for dog care or boarding!”
“Nancy is very kind, loving and caring. My dog is old and timid and Nancy handled her care with exactly what my dog needed. Nancy is very gentle. I would highly recommend Nancy.”
“We are very thankful for the care Julia gave our dog while we were away on vacation. She was great about providing updates and was able to accommodate for his extra needs due to his arthritis. It was wonderful knowing he was in good hands so we could enjoy our trip!”
“Avery took us his client at the very last minute when our prior arrangements had fallen through. Avery was very responsive was great sending pictures and updates and our dog shall be. Had a great time.. I would highly highly recommend Avery if you’re looking for a sitter can’t say enough good things.”
“Liza was amazing with our dog! He boarded at her house for a week while we were on vacation and she treated him like family! She sent pictures and updates everyday, and our dog loved playing in her fenced in yard. We will definitely book Liza again!”

“Matt and Alyssa are the best! Kind and caring to our little princess, and very sensitive to her (and our) unique needs. They cared for our cat for 10 days and provided much-needed reassurance that our cat was happy and healthy. Matt and Alyssa will be our first call on our next vacation!”
“Liv was great, all of her visits with our cat George were on time and well documented. She always left a note after every stop in and took plenty of pictures. We’d be very happy to have her back in the future and would recommend her highly.”
“Cam visited my house to care for my two cats for five days while we were away. I asked if it would be possible to come at the same time every day, though I mentioned it was okay if that couldn’t be done. Cam managed to come at about the same time each day and sent me photos of my cats. Cam is reliable, communicative, and takes great care of pets. I highly recommend Cam’s services.”
“Sara was an absolutely fabulous pet sitter. Everything from initial meet and greet to final drop in visit and key return was spectacular. Sara informed us after every visit all the statuses of each pet along with fantastic photos that made our time away from our fur babies so much less stressful. She watched our 2 cats, chickens, and our new bunny! She went above and beyond for our animals and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter the first time using Rover. Absolutely will be booking again and would 1000% recommend!”

About: Six years of cuddles, walks, and playtime have made me a true pet enthusiast! I know how much pets enrich our lives, and I'm eager to share that love with your furry friend. I'm experienced in providing engaging activities and creating a fun, safe environment for your pet to thrive. I work from home and can fit in schedules during the week. I have a unfixed, male Beagle, Leo - who is a sweetheart and is very calm and mingles well with to other dogs. He mostly loves to laze around once he's had his fill. I have an enclosed sun room for the pet to relax and bask in the sun. The neighbourhood is very calm, safe and pet friendly.
“Normally, when we pick Yoda from a day care or boarding he will express his unhappiness by barking at us trying to tell us he didn’t like it there. But when we picked him up from your place he was all happy and no barks very calm, it tells us he had a good time with you. Thank you for taking good care of him.”

I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: My journey with animals did not start as a job. It began when I was 10 years old and welcomed my first cat into my life. Since then, animals have always been part of my world. I also grew up with a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years and taught me what patient, devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Over the years, I have gained hands-on pet-sitting experience with many different animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to Maine Coons, playful kittens, and small companion dogs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I live with my husband in a two-floor apartment with hardwood floors and no carpets. I am happy to lift and carry pets on the stairs when needed, as long as they are comfortable being picked up. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated with patience, attention, and care, just like part of the family. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give all the needed attention to your pet throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live with my husband in a two-floor condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful of safety and always keep dogs secure when they're outside. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play.
“Elaine & Ken are wonderful. Their dog Brady is a great companion too :). So glad to have found them ! I have peace of mind when working when my pup Gator is with them. Very kind , reliable & responsible. My pup always looks forward to seeing them.”
“Kona had a wonderful time at Joanne's and she came home completely exhausted! Joanna kept in contact with us all day sending pictures and even videos! Will be using her next time we need a place for Kona to stay!”
“Nancy has been a fantastic caregiver for my dog! Her communication is thorough, she sends me pictures throughout the day, and she has been really wonderful about all of my pet’s medical needs. She feels like a real partner! A+ for Nancy!”
“Cindy is so attentive to all the dogs that she cares for, there is great outdoor space for them to play, a lovely screened in porch and inside her home by her side to rest. I trust her and her two pups are so good with all doggie guests! So glad I found her, Daisy and Gummy!”
“Merry was wonderful with our Jackson! She was kind, responsive, and very friendly. The icing on the cake were her two sweet and adorable dogs :) We look forward to trusting her with our dog again in the future!”
“Jeffrey & Jennifer took amazing care of our maltipoo Binky! Their dog Ginger is super sweet and I look forward to continued visits with them. I would give them more stars if I could!”

About: With several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep passion for canine companionship to my work with Rover.com. My journey began six years ago, helping raise my first pup in my family’s home, and has evolved to include caring for my own dog and offering dog-watching services in my neighborhood during my downtime. My approach is highly personalized, ensuring each dog receives tailored care suited to their individual needs. I find joy in spending time with all dogs, including those with more challenging behaviors, and am dedicated to creating a nurturing and loving environment for them. Additionally, my experience has been further enriched through my work at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I have honed my skills and deepened my understanding of canine care. As a current student, my availability varies with the academic calendar. Typically, I am available all weekend and most weekdays after the afternoon. During the holiday season, I travel and may be less accessible. However, I maintain a flexible schedule and can often accommodate requests on short notice. Please do not hesitate to reach out, and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I treat pets with the same care and attention as if they were my own. Although I do not offer pet sitting services at my residence, I ensure that your home is treated with the utmost respect and care, just as I would my own. I understand the significant trust you place in allowing me into your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously.
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have the confidence and experience to ensure your pets safety. Young and old, big and small, I’ve cared for them all! From walking, bathing, feeding, medicating, and cleaning up after, my pets have taught me the ways of proper care and compassion. It would be a pleasure to help do that for the pets of others. Generally, my availability after work begins at 3pm every weekday unless otherwise specified. I am available all day in the summer. Do not hesitate to ask about earlier times on weekdays, as my schedule often allows for it. Please see available dates on my calendar, as I do accept same-day requests, but they are subject to change! I have respect for any special instructions and want to ensure owners feel safe with their pet under my care. Ensure to keep me updated on any concerns.

About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with Benny and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.
“Ben has been great with our new puppy! He’s very patient, and was able to take the time to get our puppy to warm up to him. He’s also very punctual and professional. We’ll defiantly be using Ben in the future!”
“Pilar has been so helpful. She is always very responsive and available. She has been wonderful with Baxter. There was a time when she was walking him and he heard shooting range and panicked. Instead of bringing him right back inside without a walk she sat with him and calmed him down and then was able to get him to walk again. He is clearly comfortable with her and enjoys his time with her!”
“Ivan is an excellent dog sitter. He obviously loves dogs and he was attentive, calm, and thoughtful in his care. This was my first time using a dog sitter for taking my dog for walks, and I couldn't have gotten luckier in choosing Ivan to take my dog to the park and care obout my pet. Ivan takes the responsibility seriously and understands my dog behavior rather than treating it as a checklist. My dog usually has the anxieties. Ivan found the way to calm my dog and communicate with wonderful care. After couple walks withIvan my dog is very excited, waiting for Ivan to come and go to the park. Ivan isd professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would not hesitate to book Ivan again. I am highly recommend Ivan service.”

“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
