“These are the most awesome sitters that I would want to use them all the time if they were always available and not doing stupid things like going on vacation or watching other people’s dogs! Just kidding they’re the best!!! Aiko had a blast and loves them and can’t wait to use them again!!!”
“We had a great experience with Ciara. Hogan had never stayed with anyone but family and I was a little nervous since I was going away for 2 weeks. Ciara provided wonderful care and fun for Hogan and kept us informed of how he was doing and with texts, photos and videos. I highly recommend.”
“My dog came back to me happy, well cared for, and very tired after all the fun he had at Brandon’s house! Brandon was extremely communicative, understanding of my dog’s behavioral and medical needs, and very flexible with my changing schedule. He sent plenty of pictures to help soothe my separation anxiety. I’ll definitely use Brandon again!”
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“Jenna and Michael took great care of Rosie and she had a blast playing with Chase. We loved and appreciated the updates and videos. We would definitely reach out to them for Rosie again if we’re ever in the area. Highly recommend!”
“Jonathan & Amy were awesome! Phoenix had so much fun there. We got tons of pictures showing her playing and enjoying herself. I felt very comfortable leaving here there and would highly recommend them to anyone needing this service. Now I know I have a "go to" for the next time.”
“Bono stayed with Breanna for 17 days while I was out of the country for Christmas and New Year. Our meet and greet was great! Communication between was couldn’t be better - Breanna kept me posted with photos and texts about Bono and his stay every day. Bono had a lot of interaction with other people and dogs, which is great for a golden retriever. :) Breanna (and her family) took good care of Bono and I couldn’t be happier and glad I left him with them for this period of time. Bono would definitely go back to Breanna’s house for my next trips. Besides that, Breanna is also a dog groomer so Bono came home nice and fresh! ? thanks Breanna! ?”
“Rebecca did such a great job caring for my boy Cody! I went on vacation for 10 days and was super anxious because I never left Cody with a sitter for that long. Rebecca reassured me that Cody will be well taken care of and she did not disappoint! She sent me daily photos and updates on how Cody was doing. She took him on walks everyday! He was a very happy and comfortable boy there! She genuinely cared for him like he was her own! If I ever went away again and needed a sitter I would definitely be contacting Rebecca again!”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Alena and her husband were amazing dog sitters to our little puppy! He adjusted SO WELL with them and with May. They took such good care of him for two days and updated us daily with lots of videos and pictures, not to mention Alena went above & beyond to make sure we felt comfortable prior to actually dropping him off. We’ll definitely be using them to dog sit in the future! They were amazing!”
“Iliandra was just incredible! She definitely met all expectations of every review! This was our first time leaving Luna with anyone other than family. Iliandra is a very loving sitter with a warm personality and our dog immediately connected with her. She made us feel very comfortable with continuous detailed updates, adorable pictures, and videos of Luna. We highly recommend Iliandra and look forward to our next booking with her!”
“Allyssah did a great job watching our dog! She was very communicative and flexible with giving updates based on our schedule and preferences. Our dog had a great time and was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”
“We’re so glad Sarah and Ben were able to care of Blu at the last minute for a few days. Thank you both for taking such great care of him knowing how anxious he gets in a new place. They’re very patient and made him feel right at home. Sarah kept me posted with updates and photos too. We know Blu had fun!”
“Anna is amazing. She kept my dog Oliver for 7 days. I received updates with great pictures. Oliver looked great when I picked him up. I could tell he was very well taken care of. Her home is so dog friendly and the dogs that were there were perfect company for Oliver. She will definitely be Oliver’s go to sitter going forward.”
“Blaine did a Great Job watching my dog for 2 days! I was a little worried about Blaine’s dogs, because my dog is very picky about her dog-friends. But Blaine’s dogs were great with my dog. I think the visit helped my dog with her hesitation about interacting with other dogs. Blaine was diligent in following our directions about our dog’s food. He also sent us lots of photos. I guess the best compliment is that my dog was having such a good time, that she seemed like she wanted to stay. LOL”
“Gus was very happy with Annmarie. She was a great communicator, sent plenty of photos and updates during his stay. Would 10/10 recommend and stay with her again! Thanks Annmarie for taking such good care of Gus!”
“Sarah was extremely professional, provided prompt communication & most importantly a very caring pet owner & care provider sending daily updates & pictures. 10/10 recommend!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Namrata! She was always in touch, very responsive, and regularly sent us photos and updates, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our dog had an amazing time in the backyard - she absolutely loves playing outside, especially when there’s lots of snow, and it was clear she was happy and well cared for. We truly appreciate the attention and care Namrata gave her and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Mae. She was wonderful with my cats. She was reliable, punctual and followed all of my crazy requests. I felt comfortable being away. I hope she is available the next time I have to be out of town.”
“Kerryanne was fantastic and helped me to have peace of mind while I was away. This was my first time having a pet sitter for my two cats, and she listened to everything I had to say, was very reassuring, and it was simply a fantastic experience over all.”
“Montana cared for my two cats for over a week and truly went above and beyond for them- even spoon feeding one when he was being a bit of a prince about eating. She was very respectful of my house and left everything clean. She even took out the trash and the litter genie bags at the end of the week which I did not ask for or expect! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them that I didn’t have to worry at all for the whole trip!”

“Michelle was excellent with Sophie, my senior cat. Just before my vacation I knew Sophie would need a little extra TLC. Michelle took on the extra care and made me feel much better about leaving Sophie. Thank you!”
“Alani was awesome with drop ins for our cat. We were very nervous leaving our cat home for the first time, but Alani helped ease our minds with great communication and pictures! Thank you again!”
“Jillian was a great sitter for my cat Nemo! She dropped in one him daily and sent me photos and videos of him. She was always very responsive to my texts and we had no issues with his care. Will definitely use Jill in the future!”

About: I've cared for dogs and cats since I was 13, and it is a large passion of mine. Countless family, friends and clients have trusted me to not only watch their pets, but care for them as my own. I am trustworthy, responsible, and most of all loving towards every animal I meet. I have plenty of experience with cats as I have spent many years taking care of my grandmother's cats. I've taken care of them since we rescued them as kittens, and prior to that I took care of her senior cat for many years. I have also spent many years nannying in positions where I have cared for both children and pets, which has taught me responsibility as well. I would love to take care of your pet and appreciate you trusting me with a part of your family!

“Iliandra was fantastic. She sent me updates throughout the day and my puppy was actually smiling. I forgot to pack his food and she cooked chicken for him. Above and beyond service. Thank you!”
“Brandon and his wife took amazing care of my cavapoo, Sunny! She loved playing in their big fenced in backyard, and hanging out with their dogs Waffles and Pickles 😊 He sent me many pictures of her which gave me peace of mind. I’d recommend Brandon to anyone and I will absolutely be using him for pet care again in the future. Thank you so much Brandon!”
About: Hi! I am Lakshmi and I personally have 7yrs of experience with dogs of all kinds. Me and my husband both love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. We would love to take care of your pooch while you are away. We promise to provide brisk walks, fun playtime, and of course belly rubs and cuddling for your beloved dog. So that you can have a guilt free vacation of your own :) Our schedule is flexible and your dog will never be home alone for long. The couch and bed are never off-limits. We separate the dogs during feeding times and ** safety is out top priority**. So we make it a point to do a meet and greet for all the first time clients. We have a six-year-old Labrador retriever boy named "Bruno" whom we adore! He is neutered and is very friendly. We fully understand all the hard work, effort, and commitment which goes into raising our fur babies. I totally understand how much difficult it can be to be away from your pet. We will do our best to make your vacation stress free by giving regular updates on your pooch is doing. We both have our own full time jobs and I work from home. So, rest assured that your dog is never unattended for more than 2 hours except when we are at the gym or have some errands to run. We have a friendly dog of our own at home to keep your dog company 24/7. There is no fenced yard but we live in a beautiful community and we do long walks and park visits(when the weather permits).
About: I have been taking care of animals big and small for as long as I can remember! When I was in my early teens I started pet sitting, and once I was 18 I began working on local horse farms; mucking stalls, and learning as much as I could along the way. I take pride in knowing I am knowledgeable and dependable; I’ve fulfilled duties as grand as farm/kennel sitting- (meticulous care; maintaining medicine and feed schedules, cleaning services, turn in and out, organization of multiple and large quantity of animals at a time) …. I’ve spent time with all different types of personalities of all different species; aggressive ankle biters to couch potato gentle giants. Over the past decade and a half I have enjoyed the company of horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I love animals and I love providing quality care. I am observant and trustworthy- feel free to ask me anything!! I would like to make this more than part time! I have a very flexible schedule as of lately with no obligations aside from being busy a few early mornings out of the week; as I do work on a farm still as needed. Shoot me a message and let’s talk scheduling! I have a private backyard, not fenced in but I am more than vigilant and always have time and patience for leash walks and hikes, and leashed/supervised backyard shenanigans. Whatever you and your animal are comfortable with; we will make it happen and I can accommodate accordingly.
“Elaine is an incredibly gifted woman regarding dog training. She is a gem. Our 4-month-old puppy spent two full days at her doggie day care and loved it. She commands attention from all dogs, small and large, and it felt so safe to leave our pup with her. She updated us with several photos of our pup’s activities throughout each day. She also reinforced some of his already learned techniques and taught him more. Her training advice helped us rewardingly. We will definitely return!! Thank you, Elaine!!”
About: My partner and I have been caring for animals from bunnies to horses for our entire lives. Friends and family have relied and continue to rely on us to walk, feed, and board their pets. We do this because we love the companionship pups! Pets will be carefully looked after by my partner and I. They’ll be preoccupied daily with loads of activities! Parents are welcome to pictures/videos while they’re away. Your pets will have access to food/water, furniture, toys, undivided attention and unconditional love! Our dogs start the day by zooming and playing in our fully fenced in yard. Throughout the day we practice commands and do various activities. Here, we love dog puzzles and mentally and physically stimulating activities! Our house is pet friendly with plenty of space to play inside or out, depending on the weather. We also have pets of our own, who are very high energy and playful! We prefer gradual introductions to keep everyone calm and safe so your dogs will not meet ours during initial meet and greets. They’ll likely only meet ours if they stay multiple times or for more than 3 days. Entering a new environment or being cared for by someone new can be stressful for pets so we pay close attention to how each pet responds and acts and make sure to cater according to their individual needs, giving them space or activities as needed. Your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for while they are here!

You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. As a small business owner who works 100% remotely, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will have a consistent, comfortable environment during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that is great for walks. We also have a friendly 4-year-old Labrador who enjoys the company of other dogs and helps visiting pets feel at home. Our family includes young children who love animals and have been taught how to interact with pets safely, respectfully, and appropriately. We understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, and we work to create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel secure, loved, and part of the family.

“Our sweet deaf pup stayed with Annmarie for the day and she couldn't have been safer and happier. This was our first Rover experience, so there was a bit of anxiety dropping our puppy off at a stranger's house. However, Annmarie made us feel welcome through her ongoing communication before, during, and after the visit, and I felt a sense of relief knowing that our special needs dog was well cared for. I highly recommend this host for your doggy day care needs.”

About: We first adopted a 12 year old dog from the shelter and at the age of 17, we had to put him down. It broke our hearts and decided to adopt others in his (Juno) memory. My husband and I have adopted 5 dogs since then and they are a great pack. We have a large yard and doggy door so they can come and go as they please. They go for walks and they're very well mannered, socialized dogs. I graduated from Animal Behavior College in May 2017 and train dogs as well and I'd be able to help with training if needed. We've been fostering dogs for over 5 years and love knowing we're helping them become socialized and able to find them forever homes.
“Overall, it was a great experience. Andrea was accommodating and pleasant. Her golden retriever was high energy and seemed fun. I would recommend her to anyone. Unfortunately, our schedules changed and we were unable to continue to use her. I know our dog is disappointed!”
“Being the first time I have ever left a dog (child) with anyone, I was pretty apprehensive. Vanessa made the process easier than can be, was warm, updated us throughout the day, and was an absolute pleasure. Would 100% use again anytime our little one needs a sitter. A+”

“Gilbert is the best Rover host I’ve had the pleasure of using to watch Leo. I was provided videos throughout the day and Leo played hard with Gilbert’s dog Moon all day. I couldn’t be happier and I’m going back tomorrow for one more day. Gilbert was also very flexible with my schedule as I hit a snag during my business in Providence.”

About: BOOK 7 NIGHTS AND GET YOUR 8th NIGHT FREE!!! (On your first stay only) I WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING DOGS 30lbs AND UNDER FOR THE SAFETY OF MY OWN SMALL PETS. (Although I will make larger size exceptions for elderly lazy pups ❤️) Hello and thanks for considering me for your pet sitter! Your pet will enjoy all the pleasures of home and more! We are a loving, pet friendly family that any pet would love to be part of (even if it's only for a short time). My name is Breanna and I have had animals my whole life and simply adore being around them. I enjoyed being with them so much that I opened my own grooming salon several years back and am still enjoying it today. I thought that I could help my fluffy friends even more by letting them stay with me rather then those terrible kennels so they too could enjoy their vacations! Your pets will be treated like part of the family and if you choose, I can offer grooming services as well. We are more then happy to take in older dogs as well as younger and they are always guaranteed a warm, soft place to sleep. Summer is no problem either as there is AC so your pet will be totally comfortable at all times. Does your dog need medications? If so no problem, just tell me what to do and your pet will be taken care of. I do have an 11yr old and a 17yr old so your dog must be ok with kids. We also have two small dogs who are very friendly so your dog must be ok with other pets as well. I am pet cpr and first aid certified through the Red Cross and also a certified pet groomer. If this sounds like a home you'd like to let your pets visit while you are away i would be more then happy to meet you and set up a meet and greet! I hope to hear from you! Note: At this time I’m unable to accommodate pitbulls and German shepherds. Sorry for any inconvenience! I’m a self employed, work from home mom so it’s very easy for me to care for your pets. I make my own schedule and absolutely love what I do. Having extra pups in the house is a huge bonus for me because I’m a huge animal person! I love taking the pups outside into the back yard or for a walk through the golf course we live on. I have two wonderful fur babies to keep your pets company. When inside your pets will enjoy a “part of the family” life style with lots of love, cuddles and lounging on the couch.
“Candi has been such a blessing to our family. She communicates before and after each walk, sends multiple pictures, and is very kind and reliable. She was open to helping train our 1yr old rescue dog and provides much feedback regarding their progress. We are comfortable with Candi driving our dog to the local walking trail since our neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks. Candi is an asset to Rover and I know our pup agrees.”

“My dog came back to me happy, well cared for, and very tired after all the fun he had at Brandon’s house! Brandon was extremely communicative, understanding of my dog’s behavioral and medical needs, and very flexible with my changing schedule. He sent plenty of pictures to help soothe my separation anxiety. I’ll definitely use Brandon again!”
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“Jenna and Michael took great care of Rosie and she had a blast playing with Chase. We loved and appreciated the updates and videos. We would definitely reach out to them for Rosie again if we’re ever in the area. Highly recommend!”
“Jonathan & Amy were awesome! Phoenix had so much fun there. We got tons of pictures showing her playing and enjoying herself. I felt very comfortable leaving here there and would highly recommend them to anyone needing this service. Now I know I have a "go to" for the next time.”
“Alena and her husband were amazing dog sitters to our little puppy! He adjusted SO WELL with them and with May. They took such good care of him for two days and updated us daily with lots of videos and pictures, not to mention Alena went above & beyond to make sure we felt comfortable prior to actually dropping him off. We’ll definitely be using them to dog sit in the future! They were amazing!”
“Allyssah did a great job watching our dog! She was very communicative and flexible with giving updates based on our schedule and preferences. Our dog had a great time and was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”
“We’re so glad Sarah and Ben were able to care of Blu at the last minute for a few days. Thank you both for taking such great care of him knowing how anxious he gets in a new place. They’re very patient and made him feel right at home. Sarah kept me posted with updates and photos too. We know Blu had fun!”
“Anna is amazing. She kept my dog Oliver for 7 days. I received updates with great pictures. Oliver looked great when I picked him up. I could tell he was very well taken care of. Her home is so dog friendly and the dogs that were there were perfect company for Oliver. She will definitely be Oliver’s go to sitter going forward.”
“Blaine did a Great Job watching my dog for 2 days! I was a little worried about Blaine’s dogs, because my dog is very picky about her dog-friends. But Blaine’s dogs were great with my dog. I think the visit helped my dog with her hesitation about interacting with other dogs. Blaine was diligent in following our directions about our dog’s food. He also sent us lots of photos. I guess the best compliment is that my dog was having such a good time, that she seemed like she wanted to stay. LOL”
“Gus was very happy with Annmarie. She was a great communicator, sent plenty of photos and updates during his stay. Would 10/10 recommend and stay with her again! Thanks Annmarie for taking such good care of Gus!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Namrata! She was always in touch, very responsive, and regularly sent us photos and updates, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our dog had an amazing time in the backyard - she absolutely loves playing outside, especially when there’s lots of snow, and it was clear she was happy and well cared for. We truly appreciate the attention and care Namrata gave her and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Richard had to deal with a lot of moving parts because we booked at the last minute and had family members do the drop off and pick up. My dogs are a little pushy and quirky as well, and he handled everything like a consummate professional. Our pups were exhausted well after coming home, too, which is a great sign. We hope to book with Richard again in the near future.”
“Jackie and her family were absolutely wonderful hosts for our dog, Tony. We had such a great experience! Tony absolutely loved her dog and came home happy and tired from having a new friend to play with. It was clear that he felt comfortable and right at home. I would definitely recommend Jackie and would happily have her watch him again!”
“It was such a good experience leaving our two dogs with a couple that truly love dogs. The booking process was easy and a short meeting before our scheduled dates made leaving them in a strange place much easier. Linda and Christopher provided pictures and updates on how our dogs were doing in their care. They provided a very safe and loving environment.”
