“Angie accommodated me last minute when our previous Rover sitter had a medical emergency and could no longer sit for us. She took amazing care of our golden retriever Jackson and was very communicative sending tons of updates, videos and pictures! Jackson had his own vacation away from us and did not want to leave. We would absolutely use Angie again!”
“Our very social and attention-craving lab mix loved his stay with Natalia and Edward. We were out of town for seven days and received adorable pictures of him playing with their dog, lounging in the living room, or romping with the family. We especially liked the big backyard that allows for built-in outdoor space and the very walkable neighborhood which allowed for going further afield. It was clear they perfectly understood what our Milo needed and were more than happy and ready to accommodate. Relieved we’ve found a go-to Rover we’d be happy to use again. Highly recommend.”
“We could not have asked for a better family to take care of Camden! They were so communicative and sent photos and videos multiple times a day. Camden got a ton of outside time and loved being with their dogs. Highly recommend and definitely will use again!”
“Julijai kept us updated with photos and videos of how our dog was doing. He had a great time playing in the backyard and hanging out on the couch. Would absolutely book again.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! It was clear that Ori was in caring, capable hands. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Melissa professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for dogs really shine through. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, I highly recommend Melissa. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was our second time booking with Masha and she was amazing with our pup Brownie. Masha was very easy to coordinate with and flexible with timing. Above all, it is apparent that Masha and her family are kind and loving. Brownie has a lot of separation anxiety and Masha was attentive and made sure he felt comfortable and safe.”
“Thomas took such good care of my dog and updated me with pictures several times a day. He’s very responsive and made drop-off and pick-up easy for my little fur baby.”
“Jessica was wonderful with Bruno. He was very excited coming into her home. She sent me pictures throughout the time he spent with her. Those pictures were very much appreciated. She was very complimentary of Bruno.”
“Kelly is great. Colby loves her even on our meet and greet. She constantly sent me pictures to show me how Colby is doing and how much fun he is having. I am sure he is missing her and her nice yard right now (plus all the squirrels he can chase or bark at) 😆.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”
“Charlie had a great stay with Bria! She was very attentive to him, he loved getting to play with her dog, and I appreciated the daily updates. Will definitely book her again next time!”
“Chris was great with our older dog. He let him out into his yard and walked him daily. He also gave him his meds on schedule. We received daily updates during his stay. Chris was also responsive throughout the process: booking, meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog was happy and relaxed after a one week stay with Chris. Highly recommend him for a stay!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Calvin and Vanessa! They took amazing care of our Shiba for over two weeks, and she got along so well with their two friendly dogs. We really appreciated their quick responses and frequent photo updates — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Before the longer stay, we did a one-night trial, which went well and made us feel confident about leaving our Shiba in their care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Very great communication and sent a lot of pictures while I was away! Made my girls feel at home and the family was incredibly nice/hospitable. Did not worry at all leaving my girls in their care!”
“Cindy was great with Murphy. Friendly, easy to communicate, We appreciate her flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and her overall attentiveness to our dog. We could not be more pleased with her work and would be happy to recommend her services to our family and friends.”
“Kelly was fantastic with our pups! She sent me updates and photos every day, and her communication even leading up to the sitting was always prompt. One of our dogs has some allergies and anxiety and she was great about working with him and making sure that he got his meds and was comfortable. We would definitely board with Kelly again!”
“Sonia was the best sitter for my dog. She was so sweet and understanding from the moment we met. She kept me updated with Kleo's day and sent plenty of pictures. I will definitely book again, thank you Sonia for taking care of my baby!”
“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”

“Sarah was amazing with Miso! Dropped by every day and gave my sweet girl all the attention she deserved. She also took some amazing pictures of her to send to me! Will definitely book again next time I’m out of town. Thanks Sarah 🫶🏽”
About: I have years of experience walking, feeding, and taking care of dogs, even puppies! My priority is to keep your fur babies safe and happy I have open availability. I am a college student that is home for summer break, meaning I am available any time of day, everyday, even on weekends. I will care for your pet, however I am told to do so. I will make sure fences and crates are used if told to do so. I just want your pet to be happy and safe.
“Liza was fantastic with our cat Paul! This was our first time booking her since we moved to this area and she immediately made us feel comfortable She is very communicative and we loved the daily pics and check-ins from her visits. This was”
“Neesa came to our meet and greet with prepared questions! Our anxious dog immediately warmed up to her, and she was able to read his body language easily. She sent plenty of cute videos and pictures during her drop ins!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was a kid. Whether it’s cleaning litter boxes, giving meds, or just playing with a feather toy for an hour, I’m all in. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with feeding schedules, grooming, and even behavioral quirks. I respect cats’ space and read their body language carefull
“Sydni was amazing with our two cats! She communicated well, was always punctual, and went above and beyond her listed duties many times. She sent loads of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated, and it seemed like she really took the time to hang out, play with the cats and get to know them, which is honestly priceless, to us. We will certainly be booking her again!”
“Carrie was FANTASTIC with my dog, Zeke. She provided really thoughtful updates which put my mind at ease and he had so much fun with her the whole weekend. Highly recommend booking with Carrie if you want to have peace of mind when leaving your dog for a day or a weekend!”
“Ashley did an amazing job caring for our cat. She provided detailed daily updates and pictures of our cat during her visits. We appreciated the consistent communication and felt she was very reliable. Ashley was also flexible with scheduling - we had to shorten our trip at the beginning and she was accommodating and came instead an extra time throughout the time we were gone. We can tell she had a gentle and caring approach with our cat, and understood what the cat needed. We’re grateful for it all!”
“This is my third time booking with Ruby. This time I didn't leave things as well organized as usual - I was recovering from a surgery but still had to leave town for a family funeral. Despite my lack of organization, Ruby did a phenomenal job, as always. She kept my plants alive through an unseasonable hot spell, and my two cats were happy and healthy when we got back. One of my cats is terrified of thunder, and there was a storm during one of Ruby's visit, but instead of hiding in the basement, my cat chose to hide near Ruby - that's the ultimate sign that this cat trusts someone.”
“100% will book again and highly recommend Steven! Steven watched over my 16 year old cat with few health issues that required extra attention. On top of that, we recently lost another cat (her companion for 15 years) and she has been lonely and high stress. We were having second thoughts about leaving on vacation. Steven did an incredible job communicating during the entire trip. He provided daily summary of how she was doing, her appetite, her energy, meds etc. He honestly made our vacation 100% more relaxing and worry free. When we came back our cat was very chill and relaxed, a great sign that she had great company and that she loved Steven. I plan to become a repeat customer and 100% recommend him. Your pet will certainly be in great hands with Steven”
“Anton was a fantastic communicator and took my stress away about leaving my kitties. I left for 4 days and have 6 cats and he was fantastic. His picture updates were cute & he went above and beyond to play with them and feed them their wet food. Highly recommend him for any of your animal needs.”
About: I'm excited to have your furry friend over and will give them all the TLC they deserve while sticking to their regular schedules. I've been obsessed with dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of our family dog, Lucky, since he was a puppy up until he passed away due to old age at 17 years. I now have a 6 year old Shiba Inu, Sumi, and a 10 year old cat, Ellie. Sumi was a rescue mill mama and was extremely fearful. With patience and love, she's finally come out of her shell. I've managed to teach both the dog and the cat tricks and work on training with them daily. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment and am home most of the day. I'll stick to whatever schedule your pet is used to so there won't be any confusion when they return to you. Our neighborhood is pretty large and also has a walking trail, so walks can be as short or long as you'd like. There's a dog friendly space downstairs with plenty of room to run around and play with toys, or if they prefer to chill, there's plenty of pet beds and blankets in the living room. I have a very chill and friendly Shiba Inu and Husky/Shepherd mix at home that can keep your dog company. I do have a cat that has their own room and can be separated if your dog doesn't get along with cats. I also have a large crate and two pens available if that's something you're used to doing. Baby gates are set up between each floor, but are usually left open for my dog. There are cameras on each floor so that I can keep an eye on the pets if I'm leaving the home or on a different floor.
“Jazzel was an excellent dog walker. She helped me when my current dog walker could not continue walking buddy. She reported all the details of the visit efficiently and gave us peace of mind. She was punctual, informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Jazzel. I will definitely work with her in the future.”
“Teffni was great — communicative, extremely prompt, friendly, punctual, and took great care of my five cats. I really appreciated the pictures she sent me and that she immediately responded when I asked about one cat who wasn’t pictured (she was napping). I’ll definitely try to rebook her for future visits.”
About: I love all kinds of pets but dogs speak my language and I care for them having fun and being safe in their home. You can trust me. I am currently off for a month, then bust Monday- Friday for 8 weeks then just doing school so should be free for the most part. I take care of them they way the owners want but I do my due diligence always to keep myself and the pups safe. Safety is my first priority.
“Nichole was wonderful with our cats and cockatiels! She sent us photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets warmed up to her surprisingly quickly, and it was clear they were well cared for. We will definitely be booking Nichole again for our future trips. Highly recommend!”

About: THIS IS A NO-SMOKING HOUSEHOLD! I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members. I provide attentive care, daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and plenty of love and companionship. I am patient, responsible, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply some companionship, I can accommodate their routine and provide regular updates while you’re away. My flexible schedule allows me to be available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends as needed. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for. In your home, I will respect your pet’s established schedule and environment while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾
“Daphne feels like you’re dropping off your fur baby with family!!! She is sooooooo nice and easy-going. She and her family have so much experience with my breed (min pin) and that made me feel at ease. Min pins have crazy energy! My little Rudy really seems to enjoy Daphne’s furry family and her human family. I feel very grateful to have Daphne’s doggy daycare service a few blocks away. I feel very grateful to have met Daphne as well. Thank you for sharing your home with little Rudy! Great at communicating as well.”
About: What Sets Me Apart I offer more than just a standard check-in or walk—I bring a lifetime of genuine animal love combined with specialized, hands-on experience to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and completely understood. Here is what makes my care unique: Senior & Special Needs Expertise: I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, or just providing the extra patience and gentle pacing that older pets deserve, your senior companions are in incredibly safe hands. Puppy Training & Energy Management: Navigating the puppy phase requires consistent structure. I love working with young dogs to reinforce basic training, maintain potty routines, and channel all that amazing puppy energy into positive, healthy habits. Multi-Pet & Diverse Species Experience: My home is a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From handling high-energy dogs and independent cats to caring for unique exotic pets like geckos, I understand the distinct body language and routine requirements of a truly diverse range of species. When your pets are with me, they aren't just being watched—they are being treated with the same deep respect, attentiveness, and family-level care that I give to my own. Pet care isn't just a side task for me—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of my daily and weekly structure. Because my routine centers around a flexible, home-based schedule, I am able to provide the consistent, attentive, and highly reliable care that pets thrive on. Here is how I integrate dedicated pet care into my routine: A Natural Part of My Day: Managing a busy, active household means I am already completely dialed into strict daily routines. Feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and multiple potty breaks are second nature to me and easily sync with your pet's specific internal clock. Built-in Movement and Fresh Air: I value keeping active and getting outside. Daily walks and high-energy playtime aren't chores—they are highlights of my schedule that allow me to give your dog the exercise, mental stimulation, and neighborhood exploration they need. Meticulous Environmental Care: Just as I maintain high standards for my own surroundings, keeping a spotless pet environment is part of my regular weekly rhythm. Daily litter box scooping, deep-cleaning food bowls, and organizing pet areas are deeply embedded in my normal cleaning habits. Evenings and Weekends for Quality Time: When the daytime rush winds down, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to winding down, too. This is when I love providing the quiet companionship, gentle grooming, and couch cuddles that keep pets feeling safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. Because my life is set up to balance multiple priorities smoothly, your pet receives structured, dependable care without me ever having to rush their routine. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay with me, they aren't kept in isolation—they become part of a structured, lively, and highly attentive household. Seamless Integration: I run my daily business from home, which means your pet enjoys constant human presence and supervision. They are integrated right into our daily rhythm of work, play, and relaxation. A Sanctuary for All Personalities: My home is designed to accommodate different comfort levels. If your dog loves a pack environment, they will have plenty of company. If they prefer a quiet corner to decompress, I have dedicated, cozy spaces where they can rest undisturbed. A Safe, Social Environment: With experienced resident pets of my own, I am highly skilled at managing animal dynamics. Introductions are always handled slowly and safely, ensuring everyone feels secure and respected in the space. Care in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) If your pet prefers the comfort of their own walls, my priority is maintaining absolute consistency, security, and cleanliness while you are away. Flawless Routine Replication: I follow your specific instructions to the letter. Whether it’s feeding at an exact timestamp, following a precise walking route, or administering medication, I ensure your pet's internal clock and habits aren't disrupted. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect. In addition to keeping your pets happy, I ensure their environment stays pristine—handling meticulous litter box maintenance, keeping feeding areas spotless, and making sure everything looks exactly how you left it. Security and Peace of Mind: You will receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. I also keep a vigilant eye on the security of your home, ensuring doors are locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the property is secure.

“I’d give Joo six stars if I could! Wonderful experience. She cared for our 2-year-old Cavapoo pup, Jack, for three days this week after I had a schedule change at work and needed to find a sitter at short notice. Joo and her family provided excellent care for Jack and he clearly bonded with them—on the second day of drop off Jack was so excited to see Joo again! They are clearly pet lovers! Joo sent photos and updates regularly. Communication was great. Really glad to have found Joo.”
“Neesa is a fabulous dog sitter and person. During our meet and greet, Neesa was so kind and attentive my (very large, sometimes nervous) pup. She asked lots of questions and made sure that both me and pup felt comfortable. We had our first official daycare today and it went so well. Wonderful communication throughout, she really seemed to learn my pups quirks quickly, and was effective in facilitating and awesome day full of walks, play, and good rest! Would recommend and already have our next daycare scheduled. Thanks Neesa!”
“I left my puppy Law for Day Care with Erika and Franklin. They took great care of law from sun up til sun down. They were able follow instructions to a T, responded quickly, asked questions and provided photos throughout the day as requested. Definitely would recommend!”

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I provide personalized attention and care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I've successfully raised three well-behaved puppies, teaching them essential skills like leash walking and basic commands. I'm skilled at recognizing individual pets' personalities, quirks, and habits, and providing gentle exercise, playtime, and specialized care as needed. Your beloved companion will receive the love, attention, and expert care they deserve. As a stay-at-home mom, I've got plenty of time to hang out with furry friends. My two dogs keep me company, and we spend our days playing and chillin' in our big backyard. I'm all about providing a comfy and loving space for pets to relax and have fun. Your pet is welcome to join the crew and get all the snuggles and playtime they deserve! When pets stay with me, they get to enjoy the ultimate flex: coming and going to our fenced yard as they please through the doggy door. My securely fenced backyard is their playground, and they can soak up sunshine and fresh air whenever the mood strikes. I'm all about keeping things consistent, so I stick to a routine that includes scheduled meal times, two daily walks, and plenty of playtime and snuggles. Whether we're hanging at my place or yours, I've got everything covered to ensure a happy, relaxed experience for your furry friend.
About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with over 25 years of caregiving experience. I have had dogs almost continuously since kindergarten ranging in size from a 5 lb poodle mix (Trooper) to a 95 lb yellow lab (Nala), in addition to 3 years as a parent to 2 cats, Jules and Gemini. Jules was with us only briefly due to her advanced age when she was adopted, while Gemini is a much younger kitten who wasted no time claiming my home as her own. I also recently lost my 10 year old corgi (Sadie) unexpectedly to an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and so would love the opportunity to spend some therapeutic time with your furry kid. Prior to beginning work through Rover, I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs for a variety of friends, family, and neighbors including everything from drop-in visits and dog walking to full-time house/petsitting. Outside of my petsitting duties, I am a PhD chemist working hard to make the battery in your phone last longer and your electric car drive further. My wife and I moved to the Silver Spring area in 2024 for her job as a television producer and I am in the process of establishing myself in the DMV research community. Availability: Except in special cases, I am available for booking at any time of day, any day of the week. I am happy to provide everything from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays. I am currently working part-time from home, so I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets at any time! This can include drop-in visits to your home, overnight stays with your fur baby, and day-care or boarding at my home (as long as they're friendly with my cat Gemini). I am glad to visit your home as frequently as you prefer. All visits will include checks for water quantity and freshness, any prescribed food refills or walks, and of course play time. I'm also happy to provide overnight care for your pets and home if preferred, please send me a message if you are interested in more long-term visits. I'm also very happy to host your pets in my own home! I have plenty of room for cats and dogs up to 50-70 lbs. Both my wife and I have had pets our entire lives and between the two of us, someone is nearly always home to supervise and provide any needed care. Since I live in an apartment complex, I do not have a private yard but do have plenty of communal space for walks and other outdoor activity.
“So thankful for the help! They were all great pics, and you were extremely punctual. I also really appreciated you stoping by for a meet and greet in such short notice prior to us leaving town. Thanks again for everything!”
“We had such great luck with Jennifer walking our giant girl! She handled our Irish Wolfhound's excitement so well and was comfortable using commands to try and wrangle her. We would definitely use her services in the future!”
“Sydni is amazing with my dog and cat. My dog has a habit of hiding under the couch despite the meet and greet. She loved Sydni. Anytime one of my pets had an accident, she went above and beyond to clean it up. Great with communication!!! I.”
About: I have been taking care of my family friends' pets since I was 10. One of those family friends had a chicken, two cats, 1 dog, 2 bearded dragons, hamsters, fish, and a turtle (not to mention a garden to tend to!) all in one go, and I was the one that was called to take care of them all when the family was out of town. I also cared for a 17 year old cat, making sure to give her the medication she needed in a timely manner. I helped my friend care for and train their puppy when it was 10 weeks old, which included socializing it in a variety of situations. Most recently, I took care of my friends axolotl, which had its own specific needs. These experiences have definitely taught me the joys and responsibilities of caring for a pet. Any pet care would easily fit into my everyday schedule. I am currently not working so I am quite flexible every day of the week. I already go on walks at least twice a day, which could easily include a dog by my side! There are trails by my house that I typically love to go to, and beaches where I am a regular. We are a very pet friendly household. I have an entire empty bedroom for a dog to play in or to put their kennel, if they are kennel trained. We do not mind having dogs on the couches in the living room and porch. I spend a lot of time in common spaces already and so much of my time would be spent with the pet, either playing with them, or in their company if I'm working on things on the computer.
About: I love all kinds of pets but dogs speak my language and I care for them having fun and being safe in their home. You can trust me. I am currently off for a month, then bust Monday- Friday for 8 weeks then just doing school so should be free for the most part. I take care of them they way the owners want but I do my due diligence always to keep myself and the pups safe. Safety is my first priority.
“Our pup loved having Anton visit and walk her while we were out of town! We also had a neighbor drop things off which he brought inside for us. We will definitely have him help us again with our pup. Thank you, Anton!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for nearly 50 years, and caring for them has always been a true passion of mine. I have years of volunteer experience working with rescues and sanctuaries, and I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and even a pig of my own. I’m looking to spend my free time helping care for your pets so you can feel confident and at ease knowing they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that you give them every day. 💖 As a stay-at-home mom with older, more independent children, my daytime schedule allows me the flexibility to be away from home during the day. I would love to use that time to care for and spend time with animals, as they bring me a great sense of joy and fulfillment. This opportunity allows me to focus my attention on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care to pets while their families are away. I provide attentive, compassionate care for pets and their homes while their families are away. I focus on consistent engagement, companionship, and creating a calm, reassuring presence tailored to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Rather than a fixed routine, I adapt to what each pet responds to best—whether that’s play, quiet company, or gentle check-ins throughout the day. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I also respect and maintain the home with mindfulness and care, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I genuinely love dogs and enjoy adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, so I’m always happy to go on long walks, play, and keep energetic dogs engaged. At the same time, I’m patient and calm, which helps dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether your dog wants an adventure or just a companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be exactly what they need. As a recent college grad, I currently have a very flexible schedule, and I am taking some time during the summer before starting the next chapter of my career pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being outdoors whether it’s going for walks playing or simply keeping a pet company care for animals is something I find rewarding and look forward to. When caring for pets, I like to follow the routine they are already used to so they feel safe and comfortable. I thrive with structure, so I appreciate clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications for feeding, or any special needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, my goal is to be present, attentive, and give them the care they need.
“Liza is amazing and understands difficult dog behavior. We have an anxious dog who usually takes a while to warm up to new people which makes finding a dog sitter more challenging. Liza was patient with our dog and got him to more or less accept her on the first visit. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats in the past with friends and family, while I don't currently have a pet, when I was younger I had a pet Bichon Friser named Bogie that lived to be almost 13 years old. I have much experience taking care of Bogie and his little dog friends as well, and you can also trust me to take care of your pets too! I currently work part time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays but my availability on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, are flexible throughout the early afternoon and late evening. In a client's home, I am alwasy attentive to the pet's and care. If the pet is active I will be active with them and when they want their space I will gladly provide that. Pets are emotional creatures like humans and by being a friendly face and energy to them, they can be at ease with me and allow a more safe and fun environment to play and be cared for.

“Angie accommodated me last minute when our previous Rover sitter had a medical emergency and could no longer sit for us. She took amazing care of our golden retriever Jackson and was very communicative sending tons of updates, videos and pictures! Jackson had his own vacation away from us and did not want to leave. We would absolutely use Angie again!”
“Our very social and attention-craving lab mix loved his stay with Natalia and Edward. We were out of town for seven days and received adorable pictures of him playing with their dog, lounging in the living room, or romping with the family. We especially liked the big backyard that allows for built-in outdoor space and the very walkable neighborhood which allowed for going further afield. It was clear they perfectly understood what our Milo needed and were more than happy and ready to accommodate. Relieved we’ve found a go-to Rover we’d be happy to use again. Highly recommend.”
“We could not have asked for a better family to take care of Camden! They were so communicative and sent photos and videos multiple times a day. Camden got a ton of outside time and loved being with their dogs. Highly recommend and definitely will use again!”
“Julijai kept us updated with photos and videos of how our dog was doing. He had a great time playing in the backyard and hanging out on the couch. Would absolutely book again.”
“This was our second time booking with Masha and she was amazing with our pup Brownie. Masha was very easy to coordinate with and flexible with timing. Above all, it is apparent that Masha and her family are kind and loving. Brownie has a lot of separation anxiety and Masha was attentive and made sure he felt comfortable and safe.”
“Kelly is great. Colby loves her even on our meet and greet. She constantly sent me pictures to show me how Colby is doing and how much fun he is having. I am sure he is missing her and her nice yard right now (plus all the squirrels he can chase or bark at) 😆.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Charlie had a great stay with Bria! She was very attentive to him, he loved getting to play with her dog, and I appreciated the daily updates. Will definitely book her again next time!”
“Chris was great with our older dog. He let him out into his yard and walked him daily. He also gave him his meds on schedule. We received daily updates during his stay. Chris was also responsive throughout the process: booking, meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog was happy and relaxed after a one week stay with Chris. Highly recommend him for a stay!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Calvin and Vanessa! They took amazing care of our Shiba for over two weeks, and she got along so well with their two friendly dogs. We really appreciated their quick responses and frequent photo updates — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Before the longer stay, we did a one-night trial, which went well and made us feel confident about leaving our Shiba in their care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Cindy was great with Murphy. Friendly, easy to communicate, We appreciate her flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and her overall attentiveness to our dog. We could not be more pleased with her work and would be happy to recommend her services to our family and friends.”
“Kelly was fantastic with our pups! She sent me updates and photos every day, and her communication even leading up to the sitting was always prompt. One of our dogs has some allergies and anxiety and she was great about working with him and making sure that he got his meds and was comfortable. We would definitely board with Kelly again!”
“I cannot recommend Tatiana enough! She took the time to learn about my dog’s personality and immediately made me feel like my dog would be in great hands. She sent regular updates and photos/videos that showed my pup was not only safe but genuinely happy and cared for. It’s easy to tell that she truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and kind who will treat your dog like family, Tatiana is the one. I will absolutely be booking again!”
“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Maria and Fernando provide the BEST care for our dog. We've tried several other services and people over the years, and no one else compares. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog came home soooo calm and happy during her first stay that we decided to send her back sooner than we expected. We appreciate all of the updates we received throughout her stay and they are very responsive to any questions we may have. We will definitely be using Josh and Andres for future dog sitter needs. Thank you again!”
“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Jorge was an excellent sitter for Riley! He was attentive and asked really great questions to make sure her stay was as smooth as possible. He was responsive and sent photos with daily updates. I will certainly book with him in the future, he’s a genuine dog lover!”
