“Thank you Megan for looking after Mushu for the week, finding and applying ointment to his scab that he scratched, and ensuring he had someone to play and cuddle with for the time I was away. Will be reaching out again in the future.”
“Shipra took good care of our dog. She walked and played with him. Her dog Trevor is very nice and well behaved. My dog is tiny but got along really well with him. I would love to keep my dog with her again!”
“We had such a great experience boarding Jersey here! Mariah was super accommodating and took amazing care of him. It was a long stay, and when Jersey had diarrhea, she went above and beyond to make sure he was okay. We really appreciate her and would definitely recommend!”
“We truly value the care and love Linda provides our buddy Biscuit. We know he loves his walks in the woods with her! Great communication throughout his stays, too.”
“Brew seemed to have a great weekend with Alessandra and her pup! I’m so appreciative of her taking him out for adventures, as well as accepting our last minute request! She’s very communicative and keeps you updated with photos.”
“This was our second time booking and Jessica was once again AMAZING with our Chance. He loves her and vice versa! We will always leave our fur baby with her.”
“Two great people!! Dropped my pup off with these two because I had to go out of town for a funeral. They were so nice and welcoming. My dog was well taken care of and they sent pics daily. They are so nice. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Lia was AMAZING. If I could give her 10 stars I would. She made my fur baby feel like he was at home. She communicated with me his entire stay she even sent videos. I definitely will be using Lia again and I recommend anyone with fur babies to book with her as well”
“Melissa was AMAZING with my dog. Cass is very shy, but her dog, Daisy, made the transition much easier. I appreciated that she sent me pictures of Cass daily and he looked so happy. Melissa was very understanding when I was caught in traffic on my way to her and allowed for it. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Our 2 year old pup seemed to have a great time at Ginnie and Steven’s! They were communicative, sent pics and updates, and the dogs all seemed happy and well cared for. They do board multiple dogs at once but we appreciated that they took care to pair dogs together with similar temperaments. Our pup loves to play and run, which not all dogs love! But it sounds like they were able to pair him with a few playmates that were up to his energy level. We hope to use them again in the future!”
“Marliez took amazing care of Ozzie. He walked with her Husky Wolf several times a day receiving plenty of needed exercise. Oz was received as part of her family. I could tell from the photos he was really enjoying his stay and looking forward to go back. Marliez paid attention to the nuance of my dog's antics to adjust to him. She is a wonderful sitter”
“Brandon was a lifesaver! He took great care of my over active super energetic puppy! He was very accommodating and our dog loved playing with his gorgeous fur baby!!”
“This was the third time Claire watched Milo and she did a great job taking care of him as always. Unfortunately, Milo was sick while staying there, but Claire was a great caregiver and was very communicative throughout. We would definitely leave Milo with Claire again.”
About: I've had dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahua to Great Dane and Great Pyrenees (multiple at a time), over the last fifteen years. I've cared for my rescue pup Dumpling on my own for the last five, and have helped to rehab her into the lovebug she is today. I like talking multiple walks per day, will give your fur baby lots of love and attention, and I work from home so they will always have a watchful over them. I understand how much pet owners love and cherish their babies, so I will treat them like they're my own while I have them. I work remotely full time and can be fairly flexible if needed. I walk my own dog four times a day, and she loves having walk buddies, so we'd of course take your pet along. On the weekends, I like going for extra long walks, so if that's something that your pet enjoys, they'll have a great time with me. I live in an apartment downtown, so I don't have a fenced area, but I let pets have free reign in my apartment. There are also two dog parks within walking distance, so for extra and off-leash play time, we can spend lots of time there.
“Gina was terrific! She was super flexible with our scheduling and was very responsive. Great feedback/updates on our pup and the experience was a positive one. Will definitely look to use her again!”
“Lady and Kharyi were amazing with our dog Mia, while we were on a 9 day trip! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable and sent multiple pictures of her and videos throughout the stay. They made Mia feel like she was at home and were very cautious and open about other dogs they were also watching with Mia. They took her to dog parks and made sure she was well exercised. They were the best hosts for Mia and we will be using them for many trips to come. If you are looking for two amazing ladies to watch your dog then you have found them!”
“This was our first time with Kyra, she was great! Apollo had a nice and cozy time with her. She was communicative and understanding with us, planning to come back to her place soon!”
“Sophia was an absolute dream, accepting a last minute booking, sending me so many v cute photos and updates. She gave my seniors, blind dog so much love, medication and eyedrops. Will definitely be rebooking!”

“While on vacation I had a friend visit/care for my cat most days, but I wanted him to have more attention/visits so that's where Nataly came in. She visited 4xs for 1hr each, always checking in at the agreed upon time, cleaned his box, gave him wet food as a treat, and gave him pets/love as he would allow (mostly on the final visit, lol). She sent lovely updates and pictures each time she came. I will definitely use her again! Thank you, Nataly, you made it much easier for me to be away from little man for almost 9 days :)”
“Reniko was able to watch our sassy cat Piper on short notice! I enjoyed reading the visit summary and seeing photos everyday. Piper can be a bit aloof, but Reniko respected her space and kept her company nonetheless!”
“Isabel was great with our three cats, who all have very different personalities/needs. She took great care of them and their space and was even able to accommodate a last minute schedule change. We would definitely work with her again!”
“Nancy did an amazing job taking such good care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is very shy around new people, however she warmed up to Nancy right away and got plenty of pets, love, affection, and treats. Nancy is very professional, dependable, and quickly responsive. Would recommend to any cat owner and we plan to reach out to her again in the future!”
“Nina was great, this was my second time using her and will definitely be reaching out next time too! She takes great pictures and writes very detailed notes. Great communicator.”
“Juliet was absolutely wonderful with my cat. He instantly connected with her. She also went above and beyond for both of us during my vacation. Juliet is literally the best sitter I’ve had so far!”
“Sierra was an amazing sitter for our two cats! She was so good with them and we loved the pictures of the cats having fun with her while we were away. Sierra's communication was great and we would love to book with her again in future.”
“Kathleen was wonderful to work with! We appreciated her thoughtfulness and were able to travel with peace of mind. We hope to get to work with Kathleen again in the future.”
About: I grew up with a cat and finally adopted my own sweet girl, Pajamas, almost two years ago. Pajamas is well taken care of, well behaved, and very social. I know that cats are sensitive and have certain needs. I’ll make sure to give your cat the care they deserve, staying patient and approachable every visit!
“If you need a cat sitter… JESSICA IS THE ONLY BEST/PERFECT option!! As someone who was very scared to leave my cat alone for the first time and not knowing anything about this app, I was very fortunate on finding Jessica to babysit my cat while I was away! She not only comes in to do her job, but she also makes sure to create a bond and play with your little friend! I have nothing but amazing things to say about her! She is the BEST!!! If anyone is worried about communication (like me) you have NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! Jessica would send me photos of my cat and a summary of how their days went very fast! And if I had any questions or concerns, she would always reply back ASAP! Jessica is the ONE to take care of your little friends! (:”
“Hadley was absolutely fabulous! She responded quickly, followed through on all our instructions, was incredibly accommodating when we asked to switch up days, and arrived promptly on time! We will be rebooking her for house/cat sitting for all future trips! Thanks Hadley!”
“Shannon went above and beyond while sitting out kitty cat pair and her updates helped us know that they were doing well while we were gone. She also handled their medication and special diet requirements with flying colors!!”
“Elizabeth saved my life. I had to last minute book care for my cat and she came to my rescue! She was super communicative and my cat normally hides but to my delight my cat came right out to her! I’d highly recommend Elizabeth and I will definitely want her to watch my cat in the future”
“Anastasia took great care of our two kitties while we were away! She made sure to do a meet and greet before which was very helpful. She was communicative, professional and kind and took great care of the cats.”

“Meredith and Kevyn are the best. My pup Rupert always has so much fun when he is with them and all his pup friends. Every time we go back, he runs right up to the door, tail wagging and so excited. Finding them on Rover has been a game changer for us!”
“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”
About: My dog and I work from home all day and we'd love your pup to come hang out with us! I did my PhD at Johns Hopkins and now work as a remote tech professional. I have a 5-year-old lab/shepherd mix. I have babysat and fostered dogs of all shapes and sizes, including dogs with special needs. I'm the girl who takes better care of her dog than myself. I'm talkin' three 45+ minute walks a day, human-grade dog food with special toppings, and only positive reinforcement. I know how special your fur baby is and I know it can be scary to trust someone else with them--trust me, I've been there. I would treat them the exact same way I treat my own dog--with attention, care, respect, and lots of love. Your dog will be supervised at all times in a large 3BR condo with large living spaces, plenty of toys and places to lounge. Oh--and a goofy furry friend named Trevor! I work from home and keep a pretty typical schedule--my dog and I go for a 30-45 min walk around 7:30 AM, a 45-90 min walk around 4PM, and then a 30-45 min walk around 8PM. In between, he lounges while I work with breaks for cuddles and play. I would adjust walking lengths to your dog's needs and can do more potty and play breaks if needed! I have a large 3BR condo with a large living area, study (where I work), and dining area. Dogs are allowed on my couch and bed but there are also dog beds in nearly every room. My kitchen has a door and my pantry has a door that I keep closed so your dog wont get into any food they're not supposed to.
“I am so grateful we found Shannon! She went above and beyond making sure our little goober was well taken care of with walks, cuddles, and other pups to play with and tire him out. We got regular pictures throughout the day and our Logan always looked like he was having a blast. He gets so excited when we get in the car now thinking we’re going to Shannon’s, and every time we pick him up he is totally pooped. Shannon is more than a dog sitter, she will love your pups as if they’re her own. ❤️??”
“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there again.”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”
“This was my first time using Danielle, I was truly impressed, from the first picture she sent me I could see that my fur baby was in love from the way he was looking at her with his paw on her arm, that put my mind at ease. Danielle was a ten out of ten and I will definitely be using her again. ❤️”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic with our dog Lupin. She picked him and dropped him off every day which was such a help. He also adored playing with her puppy!”
About: I’ve been around all animals since I was a young child. I will treat your babies like they are my own. I have alot of experience with puppies and senior dogs. Fur babies are always prioritized. I am available to take the dogs out 2-3 times a day as needed. Most of the time if I’m in the house the dogs with be relaxing and cuddling with me or playing with each other. If I leave or go to work the dogs are crated. I have several parks nearby so that your baby can get out, stretch, and get fresh air. I can crate your baby as well. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby.
About: I grew up on a ranch and have been around all types of animals my whole life. My dog, Bentley, is a little over 6 years old now and was rescued as a puppy! I currently work from home 3-4 times a week and I'm typically around most weekends. During the workday, I can walk dogs before work, during my lunch break or after I'm off (around 4:30-4:45p). I take great care in following care instructions and I completely understand any quirks your sweet animal may have. I understand that every pet is different and needs different attention!
“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai. They went on walks, played together, and even had time to rest and nap, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in such good hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them. They even got to attend the eclipse viewing party with some fabulous kids!! They provided lots of updates and videos which helped me enjoy a long day at work. One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”
About: I've cared for everything from birds and hamsters to cats and dogs! As a teacher and former daycare worker, I bring a calm, nurturing presence that pets (and babies!) naturally respond to. Whether it’s playful puppies or senior pets needing gentle care, I treat every animal like family. Since I am a teacher, I get summer off. My last day is June 18th, so after my last day my schedule is very flexible. I will be available every day of the week. My cats are indoor and I feed them in the morning when I wake up and before going to sleep. If the client has a dog, I like to take the dogs to the park or on a long walk and ensure they get physical activity. I feed them according to their schedule and make sure they get lots of snuggles throughout the day.
“It was an interesting day in Cleveland. They were so sweet to roll with the changes for me from the change of times on the baseball game due to rain. Lexi had a wonderful peaceful time. She enjoyed their company and was a really good girl because she really felt loved. I highly recommend them.”

“Taylor is amazing! She is super patient with my pups and goes above and beyond her job. She definitely is experienced in handling timid dogs and high energy dogs and knows how to read them room with each pup. She has great communication is very prompt for every walk. I really recommend her!”
About: I have always grown up with cats and dogs. I have been a pet sitter, babysitter, and house sitter through high school and college. I helped my family train our beautiful black lab when she was a puppy back in 2018. I am also a cat parent to the sweetest girl I adopted two years ago. I am a full time law student, so right now I have the most time for weekend visits with some limited evening availability for drop-in visits. I am about to have a long winter break, so I will have much more time from December 15-January 15. I have a two bedroom apartment with easy access to a small dog park area and easy access to a neighborhood with lots of green space for walks.
“Alex did a great job walking my senior pup the past two weeks! He's very responsive on the app and was even willing to be flexible on the timing when something came up last minute. I recommend him for anyone looking for a dependable walker. Thanks Alex!”

“Elizabeth is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and my dog loved her. My dog is somewhat skiddish due to her past, and it's a comfort to know that Elizabeth knows exactly how to behave around and interact with her without scaring her. I know that having Elizabeth come walk my pup midday significantly increases her quality of life. She felt comfortable around Elizabeth right away, and I'm so glad she's available to give my pup some love and enrichment while I'm at work.”
“My dog got two awesome walks today thanks to Robert and Holly. The walks were long and I loved being able to see the map of where they went. Good pics were sent. My dog said hello when I got home and then fell right asleep! I think she had a very good day. I look forward to hiring them for my next outing.”
“Emma is such a pro! Our dear pooch took an immediate liking to her. She is calm, confident, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Emma gave Shakti her daily medications with no problems, gave detailed reports on their walks, and texted us when anything came up. We will gladly rebook her the next time we are in town, and highly recommend you give Emma a try!”
“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
“Malik was a huge help for us. Our regular dog walker was busy and he helped us and did a great job. He is very punctual and nice to the pups. Would definitely use his services again as needed when our normal lady is out of town :)”
“The best! Took great care of our sweet Krewe on their walks. Very attentive, gives detailed accounts of the walk and basically did a doggy photo shoot and shared great photos! Will definitely hire again.”
“Kristine did an amazing job with my babies!! She was punctual. Communicated amazingly and was able to follow all my very detailed instructions making. I had a quite a few security measures and she followed vetting perfectly making me feel like my dogs and home were safe while I was way in Cancun for 5 days. The babies loved her. I even got a little jealous watching my Roxy cry on the camera after their time together. I will 1000% recommend Kristine and will be using her in the future for dog sitting/walking needs!”
“We would highly recommend Emily! She was responsive, responsible, reliable, and prompt. She clearly took great care of our sweet boy and showed him lots of love and attention during their walk together. Thank you, Emily!”
