“Eric was great! I was taking care of my nephew's dog and had to find him a place to board at the last minute due to a death in the family. My travel plans kept changing and Eric kindly accomodated the situation. He also sent daily photos which helps to assure your dog is being well cared for. I highly recommend Eric.”
“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.”
“Coco had a great time with Su and enjoyed her vacation at his house. Su kept us updated daily and honestly I don’t think Coco wants to come home with us at the end of the week. Su is totally trust worthy and easy to work with. I won’t be looking for any other sitter to leave my daughter with but him! Thank you for being so loving and caring to Coco!”
“This was my first Rover boarding and Jing was wonderful! My dog loves being at home in his space but Jing made him feel right at home at her house. She sent photos of him every day which my family loved to see. Thanks Jing!”
“Tomoe and her entire family were amazing, and my dog quickly adopted them as his second family! Tomoe loves dogs and totally understands how important a caring dog sitter needs to be. She kept me aprised of my dog Muskies daily routine, with daily written descriptions and photos and videos. She cared for my dog for 10 days and treated him as her own, following all my instructions to the letter. I have used two other sitters(not from Rover but though recommendations) and neither even came close to the care and bond that my dog received with Tomoe. She played with him, took him for walks and to the dog park where my dog could meet and play with other dogs . In addition to her care, the rest of her family were also fantastic and played with my dog until he was played out! She is highly educated in the ways of dogdom, and truly has a passion for her work as a dog sitter. If I could give her 10 stars I would....I only hope she has availability the next time I need her services since once you have experienced the best there is no going anywhere else!”
“Ling & Ye took great care of our pup, Truffles for a weeklong boarding. Communication was great and we kept receiving updates. Truffles had a great time staying with the family and made some new friends.”

“Samiksha took such great care of Togo during his stay! She sent us lots of photos and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Togo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really enjoyed having Samiksha look after him and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Julie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Casey was amazing with our dogs, Cloe (7) and Luna (12)! It was our first time leaving them with someone outside the family, and she made us feel completely at ease. She even invited us to her home before the stay to help them transition smoothly. We got regular updates during our trip, and when she brought them home, they were clearly happy and well cared for. We’re so thankful and will absolutely book with Casey again!”
About: I have one dog and have fostered over a dozen others, including various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience working with super energetic dogs and reactive dogs and love training! I am home for the summer, and I am available all day, because I am working from home!

Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”

I recieved thorough notes for each visit and multiple photos every morning. I was very reassured they were in good hands. I will be rebooking in the future!”
“Asmahan has been great! She was very understanding that our anxious dog takes a few visits to warm up to new people. She was patient and had great instincts with our pup. We are looking forward to continuing to hire her in the future!”
“Very kind and eager to be a good pet friend to my two cats while I was away. Also conscientious, making sure all was well with a cat who is more shy these days. House was as I left it!”
About: I have been a cat sitter since I was little! I have never owned cats but I adore them, and have over a decade of experience caring for neighbors and friends cats. I will give your kitty love if they want it, look out for cat body language and will administer any medication needed.

About: I've cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments since childhood. I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and behavioral needs. Neighbors and friends trust me with their most beloved companions. I provide attentive, personalized care and regular photo updates to keep owners connected. I work from home, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I have flexibility throughout the day for dog walks, feeding sessions, and playtime. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or afternoon play, I can accommodate your schedule and your dog's needs. My work from home setup means consistent, reliable care without gap. My home is a safe, welcoming space for dogs. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise safely. I'm experienced managing multiple dogs with different personalities and energy levels. All dogs in my care are supervised closely, with access to water, rest areas, and outdoor time. I maintain a calm, secure environment and follow each owner's specific instructions for feeding, medication, and behavior. Your dog will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own pets.
“Su L is a great caregiver. From the start he was very communicative. His home is very comfortable and he even has supplies such as water bowl and dog bed. He has a calm demeanor and our girl Mila immediately felt very comfortable. He sent loads of updates showing her on a walk and in his yard and lounging in the home. I highly recommend him! Thanks Su we appreciate the great care you providing for Mila.”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
“Wanda was very responsive and able to accomidate my dog at the last minute. She did a great job taking care of my pup for the day and I'd definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a good sitter.”

“Shuhua took great care of my high energy border collie Jasper! She got him a lot of exercise and had great communication. Can’t recommend her enough”
About: I’m a proud dog parent to my 4-year-old dog, Simba, so I have firsthand experience with the daily care, attention, and love that dogs need. Caring for Simba has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, regular walks, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for your pet with the same love, attention, and responsibility that I give Simba. 🐾❤️ I stay at home mom so I can give full attention, follow routines and take out for walks. we also have a yard where dogs can play I have a fenced yard, and a friendly goldendoodle who can give your dog company. My goal is to help every pet feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while their family is away.
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“Allie is the best sitter we’ve ever used on Rover. She took such great care of our special needs deaf dog on short notice. She kept us updated and made sure our pup enjoyed his time in her home amongst her own pets. We would certainly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

“We asked Juyeon to look after our dogs, Ella and Andy, for a single day, and we’re pleased with the experience. She was extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since we needed to drop them off early in the morning. Juyeon took great care of Ella and Andy, giving them short walks 6 times throughout the day, which was very thoughtful given they weren’t in the mood for longer walks. She kept us updated, was quick to respond, and gave us peace of mind. Overall, we’re happy we asked Juyeon to care for Ella and Andy, and we’d love to have her dog sit for us again in the future.”
“Lisa is very caring, reliable and friendly! Plenty of space in the house and the yard for my pup to play around. She sends regular updates and photos whenever my pup visits her and her family.”

About: Hi everyone!! I have two standard poodles: Phoebe and Piper. I’ve always loved animals and can’t wait to help out with all your dogs’ needs:) I am a student and lacrosse player, but my schedule is pretty flexible in the fall. I am done with class everyday by 11:15, and then I’m free. Willing to walk as far as you want me to, also experienced with drop-in and overnight care. Experience caring for up to 3 large dogs at a time.
About: Along with growing up with two dogs and helping to raise a puppy as a teenager, family friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats since I was ten. I've worked with all types of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Pit Bull mixes. I'm the one in my family who takes the dogs out on long hikes (or for short walks around the block once they get older), brushes their teeth and fur, gives them baths, and trims their nails. I'm a regular volunteer at cat shelters in cat care, and as a student on the pre-veterinary track, I have shadowed and volunteered at vet clinics to better understand the care that goes into your pets' health. Besides dogs and cats, I also have experience with a myriad of animals, such as hamsters, rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, mice, fish, hermit crabs, geckos, snakes, tortoises, and turtles. I have experience in preparing special diets for pets and other animals with specific health needs, and in senior dog care. I'm a college student, so I fit bookings around my classes and workload. My classes start at 8 am on weekdays, so my general availability is as follows: Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Available after 11:30 am Tuesday: Available after 6 pm Thursday: Heavier on classes, but I may be able to do a quick drop-in in the morning/evening if needed Weekends: Unavailable 8-10 am Saturdays, otherwise available As a lover of all creatures, I take the safety of both pets and wildlife seriously. As such, I will always supervise pets that are outside in yards and keep them on leashes outside fenced-off areas so they are not a danger to others or themselves. If transporting pets in my car, I will keep them safe and secure in a carrier/crate. As a college student who has shared living spaces with new people before, I understand the importance of respecting others' belongings and boundaries. During drop-in visits, I will be sure to respect your home and any rules you may have for your comfort (i.e. no shoes in the house, specific dishes/silverware for pets only, general cleanliness, etc.).
About: I’ve Been Watching Is Me Or The Dog Since I Was Young And Found It Very Interesting How She Could Control Any Dog Respectfully, And Ever Since I’ve Been To Shelters Training And Being Around Dogs I'm available everyday is perfect for me since I do DoorDash I can easily work with pets rather than food delivery, is my drive and it motivates me I search my dog for any allergies or ticks every day, and prepare some remedies every time we go outside to keep him safe from any mosquitoes or tick bites.
“Barbara absolutely adored walking our Maggie. She was extremely responsible and took great care of Maggie, our tiny 6 pound dog. We loved her caring and attentive nature!! Look forward to using her again when we can!”
About: I grew up with a variety of different pets; dogs, cats, fish, etc. I also rode horses and volunteered at my local humane society from the age of eight. I love animals of all kinds and am currently working on my wildlife rehabilitation certification. I have an active lifestyle and am at my happiest immersing myself in nature in rain or shine. I have two cats of my own and frequently care for my friends' and family members fur-babies. I look forward to getting to know yours also! I am a freelance violinist and violin teacher, so my schedule is self-built and fairly flexible! A lot of my work is individual practice (I even have a special mute that I attach to my instrument which dampens the violin sound for the more sensitive pet ears.) I am an active person and love to go on walks, trail hikes and runs with an animal companion, ideally a couple times a day. I have a station wagon with a dog-friendly back hatch so I can drive reasonable distances with your pet, to parks or to the vet in an emergency. Since I grew up with animals in my family, it is second nature for me to incorporate animals' daily needs into my schedule and I do not consider it a burden. I am a neat, respectful and handy person. If I am invited into your home, I will treat it with the utmost respect and ensure that your household routines and expectations are consistently met. I am flexible and will be happy to adapt to a schedule that fits the needs of you and your pet in a non-disruptive way. Your pet will be in safe hands, and I will communicate with you as frequently as you wish, sending updates and pictures on request or at a pre-determined frequency that suits you.
About: I had a black lab for 15 years who was my right hand man. We went everywhere together, including the beach, parks and even restaurants. He unfortunately passed away due to old age and I now have a 7 year old and a 2 year old English cream golden. I have trained and loved both of them since they were just 7 weeks old. We love to go on long walks with many stops to roll in the grass and chase squirrels. I work from home and take my own two dogs out multiple times a day, so I’d be more than happy to take yours along with us. I can easily crate your dog, if needed, but also will make sure to take them out on a leash and only let them off where it’s safe to do so.
“Scout had a great first week with Aaron - she seemed happy with the walks and very comfortable with him. From the human side, he's a good and responsive communicator, and responsible around scheduling and closing up the house. He clearly loves dogs and has a good way with them. Thumbs up!”
“Leanne stopped by twice a day during a busy weekend to take care of my dog Freddie. She showed such warmth and love to him from the very start! She took him on walks and spent extra time playing with him in my apartment before leaving without my even asking. I am so grateful to know I could trust her with Freddie while I was busy! Thank you, Leanne!”
“Tanya did a great job taking our boxer Nala on daily afternoon walks. She was great at communicating any changes in her schedule with me, flexible to meet my needs to care for Nala, and always polite and professional. Thank you so much for you help Tanya! It was comforting knowing that Nala was in good hands while we were away.”
