“Peppa is a small Chihuahua and can be shy and cautious with new people, but Michael handled her with great patience and understanding. He was able to gain her trust the very same day, which truly impressed me. He kept us updated with pictures almost every day, and it was wonderful to see that she felt comfortable enough to go outside and even play with his dog. He made sure she was safe and at ease at all times, which gave me real peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care and effort he put into looking after her. I would definitely book with him again 💯. Great service!”
“I immediately felt confident that Pippa would be well cared for by Melissa. Clearly she got plenty of exercise as she slept very soundly once I got her home. Thank you Melissa!”
“Erica is exceptional. Firstly, she was available to watch my dog, Luna, in a last minute pinch (for a week). Not only was she available on short notice, but she took GREAT care of my dog. I have a female Japanese Akita; not the easiest breed to handle. Erica, however, handled her with good care and command. I felt very comfortable leaving Luna with her. Daily updates with photos/videos made my time away from her feel less worrisome. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”
“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“I went through 4 pet sitters, and Sue is the best pet sitter out of those 4, she send pics to us every day while we on vacation so we don’t feel like missing our pet at the same time make us worryless, we definitely come back to her when we are on vacation again”
“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with. Kendra is very attentive to details, warm, welcoming to cuddle a sometimes shy dog and my pup enjoyed lots of exercise and play. Thank you Kendra!”
“Jace was wonderful with Luna! He kept us in the loop with clear communication, updates, and photos, and made sure she was well cared for. It was wonderful knowing she was happy and getting lots of walks while we were away. I highly recommend Jace and would definitely book with him again!”

“Tracee and family was very welcoming during the boarding of my pet. My dog stay went amazing. Not only did she provide TLC to my dog. Tracee was able to keep in touch with me on the status of my dog and send pictures of the dog. I cant wait to utilize her services again. Definitely a five-star service! Thank you”
“Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!”
“Shea & Damien are literally the best! I am usually very over protective of my pets so it’s hard for me to find sitters but I have definitely found my go to! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them & my dogs loved spending time with them. Fenced in yard & clean house - I’ll choose them every time. Thank you again!!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Andreana was kind, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept me updated with some photos, messages and a video which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Adreana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Will definitely book again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Briana was amazing! She was very helpful getting everything set up for our first visit. She sent us pictures everyday which I really appreciated. Would rebook and recommend!”
“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”

“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”

About: As a lifelong cat owner, I understand that cats are creatures of habit and thrive on consistency. I know how to read feline body language, whether they want a dedicated play session, some quiet companionship, or just prefer their independence and space respected. I am highly attentive to the details that matter to cat parents: keeping a strict feeding routine, ensuring water bowls are fresh, and maintaining a completely pristine litter box. I am incredibly reliable and will always provide thorough text updates and photos during my visits so you can rest easy knowing your cat is happy and comfortable.
“Pat has been incredibly flexible, nice and patient!! My cat absolutely loved her stay and the love she got from Pat!

“Eko and Sarah are so nice to work with: prompt, responsive, friendly. They did a great job taking care of my two cats, making sure they met their different dietary and supplement needs. They even got friendly with my shyer boy, who tends to hide when new people are around. I couldn't be happier.”

“Mipha's first time at daycare after her spay, she was so excited to finally get to play with other doggies. Melissa made sure to update with plenty of pictures and videos. She was also very quick in replying to any messages/questions/requests you may have.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.
“Our pup has enjoyed spending days with Dawn and it is especially nice for us to have a place where she can comfortably interact with young children, as we don’t have that opportunity to offer her at home. Dawn also has a great fenced in backyard with lots of interesting things to smell and ways to run around and work off energy, which is great for both our pup and for us when we pick her up and know that she’s had a fun filled active day!”
“Jacky took very good care of our puppy Tucker! He is 3 months old and she was so kind, patient, loving. We are so appreciative that he was able to hangout with her dogs, roam around the yard, and have a nap time buddy! Jacky was great with food, walks, communication. We are so appreciative to have found her!!”
“Lee was really fantastic with August. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and even some videos of August which I really appreciated. Highly recommend Lee if you're in the Worcester area and I will definitely be rebooting with him next time I'm in tbr stra.”
“What a great fun day Cody had at Paola & Margav’s house today! Lots of snow on the ground to romp in especially with a new friend that was fully of energy. Don’t know his name but he’s a big black dog and apparently still a pup. A Good Time for sure.”
“Alexis was such a kind and patient sitter! She immediately knew how to handle Louis with him being so small and even cleaned up an accident he had indoors! Her dog and Louis got along so well and we would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of the dogs and cats since I was a very young, the age of 14 and I absolutely love animals. I’m home full-time. So taking care of your pet with love cuddles is no problem i have a large yard and part of it fully fenced in. I do have security cameras inside and outside to protect all animals in my home. I am very good about sending lots of updates so you can see your pet having lots of fun. I pride myself on being a home away from home! I’m full time at home so i have nothing but time to spend hanging out, playing and spoiling your pet when you are away! I love being outside I have a big house they can come in to cool off or warm up depending on weather. I have a large yard mostly fenced and a smaller area fully fenced.
“Brenda was great! She helped us out a lot by caring for our two pups for 9 hours while we were away. They had a great time with her and her husband and we’ll be scheduling with her again!”
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you could leave: We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lingwen! She took exceptional care of Max and treated him like he was part of her own family. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about his happiness, comfort, and well-being. Max came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention to detail, and the personal touch she brought to every aspect of his care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated to caring for their pet. Thank you so much, Lingwen! 🐾❤️”
“Benny had a fantastic day with Andreana. She was kind, responsive, and easy to work with. Benny came home a happy, relaxed pup, so we’ll definitely be booking with her again”
“Our new puppy had a fantastic day with Amy and her other dogs as well!! He came home happy and exhausted!! I was lucky to find her so quickly and for her to be so quick to respond to my last minute need for her!! We will continue with Amy and I know just from day one Jack was wicked happy!! So that means we are!! Woot Woot!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
“Melissa and her family took very good care of my pups when I needed last minute help. I was very grateful for their kindness and quick communication throughout the day. Will definitely use again when needed. Thank you!!”
“Molly is so great with our standard poodle puppy! He’s always super excited to get to her house and tired and happy when he gets back home. Molly is very communicative — sharing pictures and updates during the day and letting us know how everything went when we pick him up. We’re so glad to have found Molly and would absolutely recommend her to other dog owners!”
“Shea and Damien were awesome! I’ll absolutely trust them to care for my boy Kylo again when he needs to hang out somewhere else for the day. I’d absolutely recommend them to others, in fact, I’ve already suggested them to my sister.”
“Delia was absolutely fantastic taking care of our nine month old puppy Oakley. We had to travel from out of state to Massachusetts for a funeral and she kept our puppy for most of the day, keeping us updated with pictures and videos along the way. Very conscientious and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”

“Pat came and walked Leia again on Saturday and Leia was happy to see her. Leia was a little anxious as she had been recovering from dental surgery and had been more restricted for a couple of weeks, but Pat was able to build Leia's confidence and convince her to go further when Leia was initially reluctant. Pat is very good and patient with Leia's little quirks and helped her go further and enjoy the opportunity to go further beyond our yard. Leia was calmer and content with her walk.”

In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.
“Lindsay was amazing! She took my request last minute due to a family emergency and was so kind and accommodating. We had a great meet and greet, and she took wonderful care of my shy dog, Georgia. She sent great updates and made me feel completely at ease. Georgia really took to her, which says a lot. I would absolutely book with Lindsay again!”
“April arrived a little early which was great! I was so relieved that Beau got out and had a nice walk. He definitely was more calm for me for the rest of the evening. April was very pleasant and sent me pictures through the walk which I liked. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Our dog is a handful and Gabriela has done such an amazing job with him. She is incredibly patient and goes over the top to make sure Bruno is able to get all of his energy (and he has a LOT of it) out during their mid-day walks. She has even stayed over their allotted time if he needs a little extra time to get settled back in after their walk, giving him lots of water and treats to hold him over until we get home. So happy we found Gabriela!”

I am careful to keep an eye on any animal I care for to make sure they don't have the opportunity to run outside off leash
“Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!”
“John, has come in clutch a number of times when we’ve had last minute plans (which is often for my family). He provides great updates and images that allow us to see how well he’s taking care of Marley!”

About: We’ve always had pets at our house and cousins’ houses growing up, and as you’ve probably seen in my pictures, I always love being around animals! I’m starting a new position in a few months, and since I love animals, I thought that pet-sitting would be the perfect thing to do in the meantime! It is definitely important to make sure that the pets are taken outside often to go to the bathroom and move around with fresh air. It’s also important to read the body language of the pet- some pets need more exercise than others.
About: When I had my two dogs I would watch them whenever I needed to and would provide the care that they needed. I love all dogs and will pet them whenever I get the chance. If I can be around dogs/ cats I will be. I like to take my own dogs for walks and exercise/ do physical activity with them daily. A lot of my family members have dogs and I like to spend quality time with them and be with them when I have the chance. As an athlete myself I understand the importance of exercise if a dog needs to go for a run I am more than happy to take them for one so we both can enjoy our time together. I’m looking forward to hopefully spending time with some new furry friends! I am going to be on summer break and work at my job every other Saturday and Sunday from 3-7 as a definite schedule and weekly shifts can vary based on the week. Depending on if I have work or not my availability will be different. I have a fenced in yard and lots of experience with taking care of animals as I have had a variety of different pets. I know how important pets are to families, so I would never put one in harms way.

“Peppa is a small Chihuahua and can be shy and cautious with new people, but Michael handled her with great patience and understanding. He was able to gain her trust the very same day, which truly impressed me. He kept us updated with pictures almost every day, and it was wonderful to see that she felt comfortable enough to go outside and even play with his dog. He made sure she was safe and at ease at all times, which gave me real peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care and effort he put into looking after her. I would definitely book with him again 💯. Great service!”
“I immediately felt confident that Pippa would be well cared for by Melissa. Clearly she got plenty of exercise as she slept very soundly once I got her home. Thank you Melissa!”
“Erica is exceptional. Firstly, she was available to watch my dog, Luna, in a last minute pinch (for a week). Not only was she available on short notice, but she took GREAT care of my dog. I have a female Japanese Akita; not the easiest breed to handle. Erica, however, handled her with good care and command. I felt very comfortable leaving Luna with her. Daily updates with photos/videos made my time away from her feel less worrisome. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
“Tamara and her entire family were EXCELLENT with Cooper!!! Cooper received A+ care while we were away! We have found our sitter and Cooper has found his home away from home. We thank you so very much!”
“Tracee and family was very welcoming during the boarding of my pet. My dog stay went amazing. Not only did she provide TLC to my dog. Tracee was able to keep in touch with me on the status of my dog and send pictures of the dog. I cant wait to utilize her services again. Definitely a five-star service! Thank you”
“Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!”
“Shea & Damien are literally the best! I am usually very over protective of my pets so it’s hard for me to find sitters but I have definitely found my go to! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them & my dogs loved spending time with them. Fenced in yard & clean house - I’ll choose them every time. Thank you again!!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Andreana was kind, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept me updated with some photos, messages and a video which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Adreana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Will definitely book again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Briana was amazing! She was very helpful getting everything set up for our first visit. She sent us pictures everyday which I really appreciated. Would rebook and recommend!”
“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
“Vignesh did a great job watching our pup. He updated us regularly with pictures and even consulted the vet when an emergency came up. Would gladly use him again!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”
“Lee was great !!! Always sent picture and video updates throughout his stay . My dog had a great time and I would definitely book Lee whenever I needed him !!! I highly recommend him !!”
“Paola has a huge love for the dogs🥰 You can see that at the first sight. My big baby on 4 paws spent an amazing vacation with Paola and with other dogs. Paola creates a safe doggy home full of love, joy and, above all, lots of fun for every dog😍 Thank you Paola ❤️”
“Emily was great, gave us plenty of updates of how Brodie was doing while he was under her care and was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. Would highly recommend and have her watch Brodie again!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
