“If you are looking for someone who will truly love your dog while you're away, look no further than Barb. She provided such peace of mind during our recent trip by sending daily photos and updates. Our dog seemed so comfortable in her home, and he was his usual relaxed self when he got back to us. Barb’s kindness is evident, and we are so grateful for the way she welcomed him into her home.”
“Kennedy, our golden retriever, always has the best time at Jings! We know that Kennedy is always in good hands with Jing and her family as they truly treat Kennedy like one of their own. Jing keeps us updated with pictures and her communication is fantastic. We will continue to be repeat clients - cannot recommend her enough!”
“Benji is like my child, so leaving him with someone is never an easy decision. I work from home and he is always with me, so what he needs most is someone’s presence and attention rather than constant activity. When I saw Mr. Su’s profile, I immediately felt he would be a great match for Benji’s nature, and I was right. He had occurred as a very trustworthy person to me immediately. I appreciated his communication from the start and the thoughtful questions about Benji’s routine. I also loved the photo updates and seeing that Benji was getting out and about. Mr. Su even added a bit more structure to Benji’s meals, which I really appreciated. He also accepted the booking on short notice when my other plans fell through, which meant a lot. Benji looked like himself in every update- relaxed and happy and it was clear he was in excellent hands. I’m extremely grateful to have found Mr. Su, and Benji will definitely be staying with him again. It’s a perfect setup for a dog who is used to having a work-from-home parent and thrives on attention, consistency, and a good routine.”

“Shuhua is such an amazing dog sitter. She treats my dog with such care and love, send me tons of pictures and updates, that I feel completely stress free when I’m traveling. My dog is in great hands!!! Maybe better hands than mine! :)”
“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.”
“Shana was great with our dog Basil! She watched her just overnight but Basil definitely looks like she got plenty of walks, attention, and couch time! Will definitely keep Shana in mind for future sits!”
“Marissa took very good care of Conan, who is a bit anxious. He even did well with Marissa's dog, which she did in a controlled and easy way, which we loved because he needs some positive socialization. She took him for walks, and kept us informed, sending texts and pics. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting Robert and his family to watch over my dog Simba, and I couldn't be more delighted with the care and attention he received. From start to finish, this dog sitting experience was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout my dog's stay, I received regular updates with photos from, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was in great hands. I could see from the pictures that my dog was enjoying himself during his stay. In addition to his exceptional care, Robert is an excellent communicator, and was always prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dog sitter. He provided a loving and safe environment for my dog, and I will not hesitate to book Rover services again in the future with him. Thank you so much Robert, for taking such wonderful care of Simba and making him feel at home.”

“Alan and Ying were great with my dog once again. They sent a bunch of videos of him playing and it was clear he had a great time. They were very accommodating with an early pick up time.”
“Helen and Ji are so good with boy. They gave me videos and pics throughout the day. Cornelius came back running and playful, all the signs of a happy dog. They are my only doggysitters from now on!”
“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!”
“Shout out to Steven for the love and care he gave to my English Springer Spaniel, Benny, while I was out of town. I know Benny had a fabulous time because of the wonderful photos Steven sent of Benny smiling widely. Thank you Steven. Benny looks forward to vacationing at your house again when I’m traveling.”

About: I’ve had cats since I was born and grew up taking care of them from the ages of kittens to senior kitties. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, from super social and playful to shy and independent. I currently have a cat of my own who I rescued from a shelter when he was 6 and I absolutely love him!
“Alexander was a very kind and responsible care provider to our two darlings and his extra care and communication was very helpful as we changed a couple of routines for our cats just when he came to care for them. Our shy kitty even interacted with him! I highly recommend Alex if you need a caring and attentive cat-sitter.”
“Ari took excellent care of Mochi and went above and beyond what I even asked of him. He was flexible and I felt like Mochi was in great hands. Loved the detailed updates. Absolutely will book again, thanks Ari!”

I am looking forward to working with her in the future and have already booked her services for our upcoming trips. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“I’ve had Sandra looking after my senior cats a couple of times now and have been very happy! She is careful, responsive, and cares about the health and safety of my cats. With Sandra’s help when I come home from a trip my cats are calm, cared for and happy to see me. No sign of them being mad!! I’ll be happy to book Sandra every time I go out of town.”

“Susie always takes such good care of my cat - she's attentive to all of Mocha's needs and comforting to her in all of her visits, including administering her daily medication and making time for play. The frequent photos and updates are always so appreciated. I can tell Mocha always has a wonderful time with Susie while I'm away. I'd recommend Susie to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much for all the times you've cared for Mocha!”

“I highly recommend Ling & Ye...they were fantastic! Our schedule was more dynamic than we had intended and they were very flexible. Our boy Riley, 1-year old Golden, had great time and can't wait to get back to see his new friends!”
“she is very kind and compassionate. Great person. She is taking care of my dog with hip problems. I can leave my dog with no hesitations. Thank you Sue.”
“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”
“I just moved back to the area and I've taken my very active 1-yo dog to Ismael's house for the last several days and it's been great! Ismael and his wife are friendly, respond very quickly to texts, send photos, and in general have made life so much easier for me. My puppy and I are thankful we found them!”
“Jamie was wonderful! Kind, considerate, great communicator. My dog Eddie had such a happy day in her and her family’s care. We definitely look forward to next time!!”
“Adrienne took great care of Quin for daycare. Many walks throughout the day as well as updates and pictures. Followed care instructions closely. Will have her care for him again!”
“Daria was amazing! She sent us tons of pictures of Dakiti throughout the day, and he looked so happy in every single one. She and Kova were the perfect match for Dakiti's energy, exactly what he needed. We can't thank Daria enough, and we'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Super compassionate and felt entirely safe leaving our little pup with Allie! She was very responsive, accommodating and flexible. She spoiled him with treats and he came back exhausted after having the best time. Thank you!”
“Emma took such great care of Arya and she was so happy with her stay! Emma sent updates and pictures to me of my baby girl and kept me updated with any changes. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Yi W. Was very responsive and took great care of Duke. She was also very open to my guidance about Duke’s needs and routine. She sent regular updates and photos. I recommend her and will take Duke back to her.”
About: I have had dogs almost my entire life. I have been pet sitting on dog vacay and rover for the last several years , before my dog Dora passed away two years when she was 14 years of age. I stopped pet sitting , and was grieving for a while. I am now ready to get back to dog sitting , and want to experience joy of pets again, even if on a temporary basis. I have two children , 8 and 4, and they have been exposed to dogs and cats until recently . We want to have a chance to play with doggies again, and love them! At the moment I am unemployed, and home with my 4 year old. A dog would easily fit in our daily routine, as the dog parents require. I live in a condo association, on the third floor. I do not have a yard, but I will be able to walk your doggie.
“If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Greta was absolutely AMAZING. Great communication, and an extremely happy pup when I picked her up. Thank you so much Greta for taking care of my Gracie as if she were your own.”
“Indrajeet accepted our reservation at the last minute, which ended up being wonderful luck for us. What a kind and caring dog sitter. Monk and LouLou were immediately at ease. Fear not and book now. A wonderful experience!”

About: I am a registered nurse with a lifelong love of animals. I have always had pets since I was a little girl. I worked at an animal hospital throughout high school and college, I gained a lot of pet care experience there. I also worked on a farm growing up where I took care of horses, cats and dogs! I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, as I have 2 kitties I care for very much! I am confident in handling all types of pet personalities and needs. I currently work 3 days per week not on a set schedule. I have 4 days off per week which is why I would love to do dog walking/sitting on those off days! I live in a dog friendly neighborhood in Watertown, MA. I love to walk around Fresh Pond, I also live near several dog parks! I can’t wait to meet your pup :)
About: Proud dog-owner for the past three years! Grew up in a house cosplaying as a petting zoo- cats, frogs, dogs, hamsters, you name it! Extremely flexible, willing to adapt, and excited to get to know your pets! Just a teacher trying to make enough money to have a career of not making enough money #fortheloveofthegame I currently teach full-time, so evenings and weekends provide the most availability. However, with summer around the corner, my availability will be expanding! After mid-May, I will have availability from 3:30 PM onwards. I currently live in an apartment in West Harlem with my 4-year old mutt. She warms up to most doggos, but an intro would be necessary! The apartment is near multiple parks, and I am located in a walkable area.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. Growing up, I’ve owned and been trusted to watch a wide range of pets, but I love being around dogs of all ages! I’m currently a graduate student, with classes only taking up half of my week, so I have multiple days I can devote to pet care! Usually, Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays are my pet days. When entering your home, respect is my top priority. It’s a privilege to be let into your space, and I will respect your home and pet as if they were my own.
About: Growing up my sisters and I started a dog walking business and offered our services to all the neighbors. We walked and played with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I’m currently working as a college softball coach and looking to fill up my my schedule! My schedule varies depending on the season, and my days being wide open in the off-season. I treat all pets like my own, making sure they are fed and played with like I know my Wayne would like. They deserve all the pets!
About: I’ve been caring for pets and animals since as far back as I can remember! Once I got my very own pets (a dog and two cats) outside of my family home, it became a whole new world of understanding what it takes to train and care for fur babies. My sweet Aussie, Poppy, like most, is high-energy and anxious, but getting her at just 8 weeks old gave me the opportunity to dive into the world of dog behaviorism and training. She has come leaps and bounds from the over-excited, reactive pup she was, and the work that goes into helping a dog feel more calm and confident in the world means a lot to me. I've worked with dog trainers and have researched for countless hours to understand how and why dogs and cats behave the way they do to give my own the best lives possible, and I would love to take the same care with your own fur baby! I have a flexible WFH schedule on Mondays and Thursdays, as well as weekend availability, that gives me the opportunity to fit in extra walks / visits with new fur babies! I'm comfortable administering medication, crating dogs, cleaning litter boxes, etc. as needed! If it has to do with the day-to-day for cats or dogs, it's all good with me! I do appreciate detailed instructions to make sure that I take the best possible care to follow the routines you already have in place with your pets :)
About: I grew up with two English Setters and cared for them from their puppy years through their senior stages, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I’ve also dog-sat many times for friends and neighbors and have experience walking multiple dogs at once, safely and confidently. I truly love animals and take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and loving care treating every pet like my own! I work a 9 to 5, so anytime before 9 AM, during lunchtime, and anytime after 5 PM, I am available. Weekends I typically am available all day long! I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’ll always follow any instructions you have for walks, feeding, routines, or anything else they need. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I also know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure they get plenty of attention and care!
“Thank you so much! Jana was great- showed up when she said she would, was wonderful with Clodagh and had great communication and hand off. Thanks so much!”
“Kiril was very conscientious and communicative. I really appreciated his reports and photos! He arrived at my house at precisely the time we had agreed on which I really appreciated. I will definitely be requesting to use him again”
“Traci is truly amazing and takes such wonderful care of Sandy while we're away. We can always count on Traci -- including during a major snowstorm (20+ inches)! Sandy absolutely loves her, and we know Sandy is in great hands with Traci.”
“Our pets at adore Diane! She is one of the best pet walkers and sitters we’ve ever found. Thank you so much for your genuine friendship and care to our little family. We appreciate you!”
“Julia was great! Totally reliable, pleasant and kind. Our dog can be wary around new people, but he warmed up to her just about instantly. She knows how to work with “nervous” mutts. I’ll definitely request her again if I need a dog walker.”

“Claudia was great with our dog who is very anxious by nature. She was on time and very responsible in communication with me through Rover. I felt great peace of mind knowing our dog was walked and well taken care of while we had a couple of long days at work. Highly recommend!”
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
“Really excellent, did everything we asked and arrived right on time. Super professional and great energy for meeting and taking care of dogs she's never met. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“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!”
“Eliza has been walking my dog Tilly for a few weeks and has been doing a great job. Tilly is a "wallflower" and a tough cookie to crack and this is the first time she's had to have a walker that is not me nor my wife. Eliza was very patient with Tilly for the first few days while she was becoming more comfortable with a stranger. Eliza has been reliable every single day and has always been on time. She sends a detailed report about the walk and what Tilly was like, photos, and makes sure Tilly has enough water after dropping her off. Overall, Eliza is the first person I will think of when I need the extra help.”
