“Our beagle had yet another wonderful stay with Kira and Steve. He loves it there, and I never worry when I am on vacation because they take such good care of him. Thank you!”
“Adonis was with Julie for a 2 week stay and had a blast! He quickly settled into her house and almost immediately took ownership of protecting her from all squirrels and other animals outside the house. He loves to play and Julie was awesome about sending us pictures of his stay with her. She was great with his food and even went the extra mile to feed him alternate food when he was not eating one day. Adonis bonded with Julie and we would love to have him stay with her again!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Sarah made sure Watson enjoyed his stay and even made new friends. He was happy to see me at the end but not frantic--a sign that he felt comfortable there. I was grateful to be able to relax on my trip knowing he was in good hands with a caring family. Would definitely leave him there again!”
“We left our cat Billie at Jessie and her family’s house. She did a meet and greet before boarding and took the time to get to know Billie before we went ahead! She was knowledgeable and very caring! Billie loved it there and we got so many videos/pics/updates. I had specific directions for feeding and they followed directions very well. Also really loved Jessie’s Parents as they were always there so Billie always had someone taking care of him if Jessie had to go out. Definitely will book again and so happy to have finally found a reliable sitter ❤️”
“Aga was fantastic! Our dog had a great time (which is evident by the fact that she has been sleeping since she got home ?). Aga was great about keeping us up-to-date on how she was doing and sending pictures daily. We look forward to leaving our girl with Aga again in the future.”
“Liliya and her family did a wonderful job boarding our dog Turk. He absolutely loves her and her family and we could rest easy on vacation knowing he was well cared for. Would highly recommend!”

“Francois is exceedingly kind and good about checking in and letting me know how Sadie’s doing, always with a sweet photo. I know she is in highly competent and caring hands.”
“Sarah was great with Baci! Very attentive to details and my care instructions, checked in with photos, and communicated well. She’s a nice person and so are her kids, and I will definitely have her sit for Baci again. Thank you Sarah!”
“We cannot recommend Rebecca enough! Rebecca and are family welcomed Winnie into their home with open arms and made her apart of their family while we were away for a week. She sent wonderful pictures and updates daily. I can tell Winnie got lots of attention, love & affection and we felt so at ease knowing she was in wonderful hands.”
“Whitney and Dave were wonderful taking of Louis during my trip away. My trip was buffeted by storms and they were so understanding about adjusting drop off / pickup. They have two adorable dogs who are very sweet. Whitney asked all the right questions about Louis and provided great and regular updates, with pictures! I highly recommend Whitney and plan to book them for future trips.”
“Yagmur was fantastic with our pup. She really gave her such a fun overnight - long walks, hang time, and play time in her fenced in back yard. Plus Yagmur is so warm and friendly so it was a pleasure to communicate with her!”
“Hong made me feel really comfortable leaving my pup with him. He was super organized about my dog's needs at the meet and greet, provided plenty of updates and pics during the stay, and was overall a pleasure. I knew my dog was in good hands while I was away!”
“Selkie went to stay with Maria for the first time while I was away for a week and a half. Maria's whole family paid loving attention to her and let me know every day how she was faring, sending words and photos. It was a great experience for me, for Selkie, and for Maria. We'll be back. Thank you!”
“Ana took such good care of our pup Rosie! She was so easy to communicate with and sent daily updates, with pictures and videos! Rosie loved playing with her dog, Lola, and came home exhausted in the best way!”
“Emily was so kind, patient, and welcoming to our puppy who spent his first nights away from us with her. She was not phased at all by his initial excitement and nervousness, was happy to help with some minor medical issues, and kept us updated with pictures and notes. It was clear our pup had a great time with Emily and we are so glad he will get to stay with her again soon!”

“Linh was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated the entire time we were away and provided thoughtful, consistent communication. When our flights were delayed due to THE blizzard, she showed up without hesitation to make sure Sienna was taken care of. I would honestly recommend her to anyone using Rover who wants great service, excellent communication, and someone who will truly care for your fur babies like they’re her own.”
“Lucy was wonderful! Gave the most detailed updates and sent pictures/videos that made me feel like I was there with my kitty. Can tell Lucy really loves what she does and the animals she takes care of. Will definitely reach out to her again for future pet sitting needs!”

She arrived on time, took our pups on walks, made sure they had food and water, and provided us with updates. She was very responsive to my messages, and I felt I could completely trust her. Our pups loved the extra attention they received from Emma, and I’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Go ahead and stop shopping for a pet-sitter. You found her. Sally was wonderful with our shy old man and she was SO good about sitting with him and making him feel calm and loved while we were away. She sent pics every day and was able to give him his medicine no problem. Will definitely be booking again!”

“I had a great experience with Brittany. She was responsive, kept me updated throughout each visit, and sent photos so I always knew my cats were doing well. She was attentive to instructions. I’d book with her again.”

About: Hello! My husband and I are relatively new to being on the care taker end of Rover. But better late than never! A little about us: We live in a spacious house with a yard with 2 cats and 1 dog (and no kids). We also work from home so we are able to pay lots of attention to our pets and yours! I, myself, am an animal lover with years of volunteer work experience in shelters and zoos. I have grown up in a household with many types of pets from dogs and cats to turtles and chickens and peacocks! We fall in love with every animal we meet, and would love to host your pet when they need us! Both me and my husband work from home and always spend tons of time with our pets including pets and walks and play time and cuddles! We have a large tard with a 6-foot fence. We have two cats and a dog but we can dedicate an entire floor to your pets and spend time with them if separation is necessary from other animals. In the case that the animals don’t get along, we also tend to put our pets in different rooms and spend time with your pet in the main living area. But our pets are very friendly!
“Onyx had a great day at daycare with Julie! I received pictures throughout the day and updates on how his day went. I will definitely use Julie again in the future! Thank you!”
About: We are a husband and wife team, raising our own Vizsla, Bella. Between the two of us, we are always looking after our own dog and it's easy for us to provide doggy day care or overnight care in our home. We welcome well trained, friendly dogs as well as puppies. We have flexible schedules and spend a lot of time exercising our own dog. Our dog requires a lot of exercise so we often run her in our fenced in yard as well as the park near our house. We never leave our dog alone for more than 3 hours at the most. We have a very dog friendly home, and pets are free to roam about, provided they're trained and won't be destructive to furniture. We like our dogs to feel comfortable always, so they are allowed on couches, etc and we have a lot of comfy areas for them to hang.
“We had a great experience with Emma! Our dogs are fussy. One is older and easily tired, the other is super energetic and nervous. They both were very calm and happy the whole time with her. She sent lots of pictures, which was great, and I felt she took very good care of them. She was also very quick to communicate and confirm plans.”
“Strudel had a great time with tons of space to run and play and two other friendly dogs to play with. Souvik and Meghan were attentive, answered all of our questions immediately, and sent periodic updates of Strudel's adventures playing with the other pups and on walks.”
About: Your dog will feel right at home here! I offer in-home boarding in a calm, low-stress environment with lots of love and attention. I work from home, so your pup gets constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. With a fenced-in yard and one chill, friendly dog, your pet will have a safe and comfortable space to relax and play. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine, including walks, meals, medications, and any special care needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of snuggles. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to each dog’s needs and routine. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment where dogs can feel at home. My yard is fully fenced and always supervised, and I will follow any routines or preferences you have for your pet. I work from home, so pets are rarely alone, and I can accommodate dogs who need more frequent care or attention. I’m experienced with giving pills, liquid, and topical medications, and I’m happy to welcome multiple dogs as long as it’s a good fit for everyone. My goal is to provide a space that’s safe, trustworthy, and low-stress, where your dog can relax, cuddle, and feel cared for.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Growing up around dogs and other animals, I developed a deep appreciation for understanding each pet’s unique personality, needs, and quirks. Today, our home is a safe, loving environment where every dog is treated like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, ensuring that dogs in my care receive frequent supervision, companionship, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys active walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing with people nearby, I tailor their experience to match their individual needs and comfort level. Our family plays a big role in making every dog feel welcome. Our teenagers absolutely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playing fetch, giving belly rubs, going on walks, or simply showering them with attention and affection. Dogs staying with us quickly become part of the family and receive plenty of love, companionship, and one-on-one interaction throughout their stay. We are fortunate to have a large backyard and direct access to a beautiful conservation area, providing endless opportunities for exercise, exploration, and outdoor enrichment. From leisurely walks and nature adventures to active play sessions, dogs have plenty of space to stretch their legs, burn energy, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and supervised environment. What I Offer * Large backyard with direct access to a conservation area * Daily walks, outdoor adventures, and enrichment activities * Consistent supervision and companionship * Personalized care based on your dog’s personality and routine * A calm, family-oriented environment * Lots of love and attention from our dog-loving teens * Regular updates and communication for peace of mind Please Note * Boarding pick-ups and drop-offs are preferred between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. * Additional fees may apply for dogs requiring significantly more care than average. Additional Care Fees Because some dogs require substantially more time, supervision, and individualized attention, the following surcharges may apply: * Puppies under 1 year old: +$10–$20 per day (depending on age, training level, and care requirements) * Dogs with separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, or those requiring constant supervision: +$10–$20 per day * Large dogs (50+ lbs.) requiring additional handling, exercise, or supervision: Fee determined during the meet-and-greet * Untrained dogs or dogs not fully housebroken: Fee determined during the meet-and-greet I will discuss all pricing transparently during the meet-and-greet to ensure the best fit for both your dog and our home. I have experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn about their routines, commands, preferences, and behaviors before their stay. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or enjoys a quieter environment, we adapt our care to help them feel right at home. My goal is to create an stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing dependable, attentive, and personalized care. Plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles (when welcomed), and individualized attention are all part of the experience. I have a 9 years old, friendly doodle to keep your furry family member company while you are away. I can crate or provide a calm private space, if needed.
“Tomoe was fantastic. Really went above and beyond to help my dog adjust to a new environment as this was my dog’s first visit to her house. Great communication throughout the day with updates on how things were going with lot of pics as well. Highly recommend Tomoe!”

She was also shared her own experience with dog walkers, which we found to be of great value. Lastly, Brenda’s scheduling flexibility has proven to be a great asset in our arrangement. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who asks.”

About: I have worked for the WAG! app for over a year now. I've always enjoyed caring for friends and neighbors pets when they were away from home. I've also always had at least 2 pets of my own.

Staying with them for a week helped my dog with socializing with both people and other dogs. Their home and outdoor space was very comfortable and safe - a quiet neighborhood away from busy streets.”
“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”

“Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Rob was very professional, kind and accommodating, and kept us updated on Lilly's status the entire time we were away. She got plenty of exercise and seemed right at home with him and his dogs. Thanks, Rob! :)”
