“Mike and Linda took such great care of our dog, Winnie! She was very clearly well cared for, and they followed all of our instructions perfectly. Winnie seemed to have a wonderful time with them, and we had total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend—5 stars!”
“Lola had a great time with Donna and Roland. They were awesome with communicating and sending pictures. Lola will definitely go back to stay with them next time we need a sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“My little Lucy, a dachshund/Chihuahua mix, has serious back problems. Also, she and I spend nearly all day every day together. So leaving her anywhere can be very stressful - for both of us. Yet the opposite is true when Lucy stays with Bob and Kathy and Milo. Bob and Kathy go the extra mile with Lucy, being extra careful to protect her back. And Lucy is in heaven -- racing to their door and anxious to start her vacation. When I come to pick her up, she greets me happily, but then turns back to play with her friends. This doesn't happen in ANY other situations! Lucy clearly enjoys herself and feels totally safe. Finding Bob, Kathy and Milo has been the best thing to happen to Lucy and me!”
“This was the first time I've had to use a dog sitter outside of my family/friend group, and I felt super comfortable leaving my small dog with Denise. She provided updates and took very good care of my baby. Would totally go with her again.”
“Felicia is great very happy to have access to a great dog sitter! This is the second time I’ve left Ashley with her, got great updates, could not ask for more! Will definitely use again if she’s a available!”
“Felicia provided great care for Charlie. He stayed with her family for almost a week. I was updated with photos and texts on how he was doing. I would highly recommend Felicia.”
“Jing, made this experience a very positive one. I hadn’t left my 2yr old Zuchon previous to this. I felt very reassured for the duration my fur baby was in her home. My pet enjoyed the doggy day camp, and will continue to use Jing whenever possible. Thanks Rover!”
“Rebeca was amazing with our dog Maggie! She sent pics and updates throughout the week, and we were able to relax knowing she was in great hands! We’ll absolutely hire Rebeca again in the future!”
“Julie took great care of Daisy for us while we went away on a trip over Thanksgiving. She kept us updated daily with photos and how she was doing. We would highly recommend Julie. She cared for Daisy exceptionally well :)”
“We left our dog Rolo with Donnie for six days. This was our first kennel experience. Donnie put my mind at ease and I had complete confidence in Donnie taking care of Rolo. When I picked him up, he was happy and learned he did very well. I couldn’t be more happy. I will certainly use Donnie again. Thank you for everything.”
“This is our 2nd time leaving Finn with Michael and Finn was so excited when we pulled into his driveway. Finn came home clean and well cared for. We appreciated the photos Michael sent while we were away from Finn. He always looked happy!”
“This was the second time that Emily sat our dog and cat at her house and we couldn’t be happier! She is communicative and detail oriented and I can tell that my pets loved her and her family. We will absolutely use Emily again.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She accepted Luna on very short notice when I was in a bind, and from the moment I dropped her off I knew she was in great hands. She took the time to show me where Luna would be, introduced me to the other dogs, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before I left. Throughout the stay, she sent plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious Luna wasn’t just being watched, she was getting tons of attention, enrichment, and love. She truly treated Luna like one of her own. When I picked Luna up, she was so happy, content, and completely tuckered out. It honestly felt like she found her soulmate sitter! I feel so lucky to have found someone who cares this much. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again, and I think Luna already misses her. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my girl! ❤️”
“Sylwia took excellent care of Finn. He got along great with River. He was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Will definitely return! Thanks so much, Janet”
“Caty and her family took such good care of our dog. She sent us pictures and updates. I made a mistake with our booking, but Caty was very understanding and accommodating. We will book with her again.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.”
“Felt completely at ease leaving my dog Peeky and my aunts dog Coco with Salish. She takes care of them so well and keeps us updated. She’s very patient and understanding with Peeky who is very reactive so it was very hard to find him a sitter who would be patient and understanding and luckily we found Salish!”
“I’m a person who has a lot of difficulty trusting someone with my dogs- I’m very close with them. I’m positive many of the folks reading this review can say the same. It can be difficult to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and communicative. It can be even more difficult to find someone who is all of those things AND is excellent with dogs. My family has hit the absolute jackpot with Karen’s services. Our older dog has separation anxiety, takes medication, and needs a consistent presence to be successful. We never had to doubt whether Karen could fill these needs for him, and she’s delivered every time. Our younger dog has a lot of energy and has to be let out frequently- Karen’s flexibility and home/yard are perfect to meet those needs. Karen sent us pictures and videos throughout each of my dogs’ stays and provided detailed updates as to how they are doing. We will absolutely be back again, we can’t recommend her enough! 6/5 stars!”

“Elise was so friendly and fun! She has a great sense of humor and my cat adored her. So easy and pleasant to work with and well prepared to deal with any anxious kitty issues :) I would totally book Elise again in a heartbeat. Thanks!”
“Daniel cared for my two cats today, and I am impressed! My cats are on two ends of the personality spectrum. One is young and friendly/affectionate, and one is older and, well, not that friendly. Daniel shared a photo of the older one sitting right next to him! She has actually never done that with a "new" person. He was prompt, communicative, responsible, and dependable. We would not hesitate for a moment to hire him again for any pet care needs. Meeting him has taken a later of stress off any future trips we book, and minimized the stress for our cats too, who clearly liked him better than they like us! Thanks Daniel!”
“Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our two kittens! She was caring, attentive, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave them. We would happily recommend Krystyna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Laura was wonderful! She was very consistent with sharing updates on our cat and even ventured over in the snow so our cat wouldn’t be alone. I felt super confident and comfortable that Betty was in great hands with Laura and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Great job with my elderly cats that need a little more TLC than in their younger days. Adele was prompt for all of her pet sitting times and made sure to send pictures to update me on them each visit. She fed them and gave them medication as needed and. I will have her watch my cats again next time I’m away!”
“Katherine was an excellent sitter! She was flexible to accommodate my cat Joey’s needs, had great communication, sent me pictures with updates, and took great care of Joey. Definitely plan to book with her again!”
“Allison was a life saver! She stepped in at the last minute to drop in on or 2 cats. They are shy boys yet she still managed to get photos of them, to send along to us giving us peace of mind. Thank you again Allison!”
“Robyn was very dependable for the week we were away on vacation. She came everyday and gave our pet rabbit love and treats. Her communication was excellent and we would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have owned and cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. Dogs and cats are my specialty, but I’m comfortable and confident caring for animals of all kinds. For decades, I’ve been the person friends and family turn to when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. Now, as a stay-at-home mom, I’m excited to open that up to other local families who could use a little extra help with daytime pet care. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, some exercise and attention while you’re at work, or simply some company during the day, I’d love the opportunity to help! My goal is to provide the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own pets. 🐾❤️
“Jeanne was great and very responsive. I had full confidence my cats were being well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Jeanne and hope to reschedule her services for future dates.”
“Grace was amazing! My cat Samosa can be tough to love as she doesn't like people other than me but Samosa was in such good spirits when I got home. I got a photo every day, including where the key was left, and it was great knowing she was doing well while I was away. It made visiting Island stress free!”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was 10 years old, not only our family cats but also for friends and neighbors. I understand how sensitive cats can be when it comes to meeting new people and I approach them with a calmness that lets them know I'm a safe space to snuggle and play! I have had both indoor only and indoor/outdoor cats and love all these sweeties the same!
“Magnoly is amazing! She took well care of my fur-baby (cat). She was on top of feeding and making sure he had water. He had a lot of playtime. If his area was dirty, she cleaned the area for me. The daily pictures were great to see how my cat was doing. He absolutely loved her.”
About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I absolutely love being around dogs and grew up with them my entire life. My first family dog was a yellow Labrador named Lady, and later, a wonderful black Lab mix named Maddie. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have a lifetime of experience caring for them and plenty of love to give to yours.Because of my active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors and going on long hikes. I will ensure your dog gets plenty of fresh air, active playtime, and frequent outdoor exercise. I treat every dog with the same kindness and respect I would show a human. In addition to my love for animals, I am a professional schoolteacher who works with young children, which has given me an abundance of patience, care, and reliability. I would be thrilled to treat your dog like a member of the family!
“I can’t recommend Jessica highly enough. I have a reactive dog with a lot of specific needs, routines, and instructions, so finding someone I truly trust with him isn’t always easy. Jessica handled absolutely everything with ease. She was thoughtful, attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to understand what he needed rather than treating my instructions like a checklist. I never had to worry that something would be overlooked or that she’d put him in a situation he couldn’t handle. She just got it and made caring for a dog who can sometimes be complicated seem completely effortless. Most importantly, I came home to a happy, relaxed dog who had clearly been incredibly well cared for. Having someone I can trust this completely is such a gift. I would book Jessica again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation, especially to anyone with a dog who needs a little extra understanding and care.”

“Mac had a wonderful day with Robert and his pups. He had never been to a dog sitter before so we were a bit anxious about leaving him. We had a meet and greet before the day visit and when Mac got to Bob’s house on the day of the visit, Mac remembered that it was a place with people that he liked. Bob’s updates through the day made us rest easy that Mac was being well cared for. We loved the report card and pictures that we got at the end of the visit. We look forward to our next booking with Bob.”
“Julie and her family have been taking amazing care of Luca a few days a week for me while I adjust to a new work schedule. They really love him and treat him like their own. I love seeing pictures from their outings and walks! Luca is always excited to see them when I drop him off! As a new puppy mom I was nervous to leave him with anyone but Julie and her family made me feel so at ease. Would 10/10 recommend their services!”

“Kristin and Bobby watched our dog with a last minute call when we were vacationing in the Boston area. When we took our dog in the morning they came out to meet us and made sure that our dog was comfortable with them and their home. Our dog took right to both them and their dog. During the day my dog was exercised, fed and played with. I was very happy with our experience and would highly recommend them if you need a dog sitter.”

“We brought our 4.5 m/o puppy to Krystyna and Sara for his first doggy day care. He was nervous when we left him, but when we came to pick him up he didn’t want to leave! They were great about sending us updates about his naps and videos of him playing with the other dogs. Really helped assuage our anxiety of him being stressed when left in the care of someone else. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!”
“Emily was very friendly and flexible. She seems very experienced with senior dogs as well. I loved the pictures she took and the Rover card she filled out about Duchess’ stay. Definitely will ask Emily tip dog sit again in the future.”
“Gracie seemed to love Mike at first sight! And the feeling was mutual. Mike gives great communication all around, his lovely home and enclosed yard is the perfect setting for my high energy pup.”
“My dog had a great time at Shelby’s house and big back yard. Shelby was very communicative and posted lots of pictures during the stay. When I’m back in the area I will definitely book again!”

Astro was grinning in each and every one.”

“Robyn was amazing! I was so desperate to have somebody help me with my senior, three legged dog, and Robyn answered my message right away. They had a great walk and Deuce was exhausted!”
“I’m a veterinary nurse and very picky when it comes to care for my senior boy. Dan is calm and gentle, but also will read if Elliot wants to be playful and accommodate that. He was respectful of my space and privacy and my special requests about treats (sensitive tummy!). Elliot PULLLLLS on leash and Daniel was more than capable of keeping him secure. Also, my dog had fun with this guy. Highly recommend.”
“Shaelin has proved herself to be very dependable and trustworthy. She handled a mishap well that I caused, using the app features to alert me to a possible key safe problem. When the weather forecast predicted snow, she walked Bandit as scheduled anyway.”

I orginally had a consistent walker and Angelia stepped in last minute and I could not be more satisfied with her! Would love to continue to book with her in the future 😊”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me
“I spent weeks researching dog walkers for our 7 month old Goldendoodle, Ollie. I found Grace & she had so many great reviews we tried her out & Ollie loves his daily walks with her!”
“Nikki was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for my dog Enzo—even bringing him homemade treats. He usually takes a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he bonded with Nikki right away. She's always on time and was great at communicating throughout, including providing great photos from each visit. I highly recommend booking her!”
About: I have taken care of various friends and neighbors pets since I was a kid. I currently watch my parents senior cat when they travel.

I’m an accountant who works from home. I am available for drop in visits and walks during most days. As a pet owner myself, I understand the stress of finding a trusted pet caretaker. I am punctual and kind and look forward to providing excellent service for you and your pet. I love sending pictures and videos!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of various ages, sizes and breeds since I was a kid. I grew up with always at least 1 dog (usually 2) and 2 cats. I have watched pets for neighbors, friends and family consistently throughout the years and have been relied upon to walk, feed, pet and play with their pets. I am also a fur mom for my sweet 9-year old kitten, Pancakes and my 2.5 year old golden retriever, Stella. I take time to make other pets comfortable and give them not only the basic needs but companionship and playtime that is just as important! I am currently taking time away from the corporate world and have lots of time to take care of pets! I’m flexible for daytime and evening visits. I will always take great care to make sure that pets are safe while under my care. When walking I’ll always be sure dogs are leashed and when at home I’ll make sure windows & doors are closed.

About: I’ve taken care of many different pets my whole life including dogs and cats. I’ve always had pets in my home and currently have 3 cats and a dog.

I also have experience with playing with cats, providing food/water, providing enrichment, cleaning litter, and giving medication to cats. I love all animals and regularly spend time with my pets playing and cuddling. I work in a school and have the summer free to maintain a flexible pet sitting schedule. I have plenty of time to provide all the necessary care including feeding, giving water to, cleaning up after, and playing/spending time with pets. I also regularly spend a lot of time with my own 3 cats and dog providing enrichment, attention, walks, etc. I maintain a cat/dog safe home in my own house and am vigilant about keeping windows and doors secure.

About: I’m a very honest, caring, and reliable person! I love animals. Animals are my world!! I don’t know what I’d do without them. I have loved animals ever since I was a little kid. I have recently been dog walking around my neighborhood after posting on Facebook and then I came across this app! I used to stay in others homes while they went on vacation etc. All day I’m at my nanas feeding the squirrels and birds, I love connecting with wildlife and nature! I am in school at Northern Essex Community College on Mondays and Wednesdays but I am available anytime after 5pm or anytime before 1pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays! I’d love to meet and figure something out. Whatever you would need for your dog or cat just let me know and I can do it. I am able to do many things and follow instructions well!
About: I have a weiner dog named Benny whom I raised and trained since he was a puppy. I’ve cared for puppies post-neuter/spay surgery as well as walking and caring for injured dogs. I have experience administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ve housesat for friends to care for their cats and have lived with and cared for a cat for over 3 years. I love animals and I’m passionate about their well-being and quality of life. I know every animal is unique, and needs to be approached with that in mind. I’m currently working part time in the evenings for a couple hours so I have early morning to late afternoon available. I also have availability on weekends. I’ve spent time with many different kinds of pets and I feel confident that after spending a little time with yours, I’ll understand how they want to be approached and cared for. I raised my dog since he was a puppy and took part in his training so I feel confident with dogs of any age. I’ve spent many years around cats and know their mannerisms and the quiet language that they use to communicate. I’m meticulous and careful when walking dogs since I raised mine in NYC; I understand how to keep their attention and be firm when necessary to keep them safe and attentive on their walks. I want you to come home to a pet that is happy and healthy, above all.

“I can’t recommend her enough! She accepted Luna on very short notice when I was in a bind, and from the moment I dropped her off I knew she was in great hands. She took the time to show me where Luna would be, introduced me to the other dogs, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before I left. Throughout the stay, she sent plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious Luna wasn’t just being watched, she was getting tons of attention, enrichment, and love. She truly treated Luna like one of her own. When I picked Luna up, she was so happy, content, and completely tuckered out. It honestly felt like she found her soulmate sitter! I feel so lucky to have found someone who cares this much. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again, and I think Luna already misses her. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my girl! ❤️”

“Caty and her family took such good care of our dog. She sent us pictures and updates. I made a mistake with our booking, but Caty was very understanding and accommodating. We will book with her again.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.”
“I’m a person who has a lot of difficulty trusting someone with my dogs- I’m very close with them. I’m positive many of the folks reading this review can say the same. It can be difficult to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and communicative. It can be even more difficult to find someone who is all of those things AND is excellent with dogs. My family has hit the absolute jackpot with Karen’s services. Our older dog has separation anxiety, takes medication, and needs a consistent presence to be successful. We never had to doubt whether Karen could fill these needs for him, and she’s delivered every time. Our younger dog has a lot of energy and has to be let out frequently- Karen’s flexibility and home/yard are perfect to meet those needs. Karen sent us pictures and videos throughout each of my dogs’ stays and provided detailed updates as to how they are doing. We will absolutely be back again, we can’t recommend her enough! 6/5 stars!”
“Daniela took amazing care of Dobby while we were away. She sent great updates and from each picture and video it was easy to tell that Dobby was having a great time playing in the yard and hanging out with Daniela and her family. Glad Dobby was able to be with a safe and caring family while we were gone!”
“Thank you so much Faith! You were so great to our Emma. She was so actually depressed when she came home. She misses you! And your constant updates with pictures was very appreciated! I feel as though we made a friend.”
“Joseph and his family were great sitters. They took care of our boy like he was their own. Their home and outdoor space is safe and spacious for dogs to get plenty of exercise. They were also very accommodating when we had a change in travel plans. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again as a sitter.”
“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”
“Leyani was great, her kids loved our dog too. I would not hesitate to leave Brewster with their family in the future. She sent us daily pictures of our dog and we could tell he was happy and relaxed.They have a nice fenced yard and took Brewster to the dog park as well.”
“Kathy was welcoming and really knows dogs! She dealt with my pup’s high- pitched barking like the pro she is. In the daily videos she kindly provides, Ziggi appeared to always be having a fun time. I was totally confident that Ziggi was being well-cared for and I absolutely will use Kathy again.”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
