Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dorsey
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dorsey
“We had a wonderful experience…as always! This was Saint’s first overnight stay, and we felt completely at ease while we were in Mexico. We received updates, Saint was well cared for, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. We came home to a healthy, happy puppy. We would absolutely trust her with Saint again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 🐶❤️”
“Priscilla did a fantastic job watching my senior dog. I had been pretty anxious, as apart from being older, my dog had developed cataracts and lost almost all vision. I knew he couldn't be watched by just anyone, and I wanted to make sure he was both safe and happy while I was away. Priscilla put me at ease from her first message, and indeed, the meet and greet, drop off, communication, and pick up all went perfectly. I'm probably going to plan future travel around when she has availability on her calendar! Thanks again so much Priscilla.”
“Simply put, Theresa is the best caregiver for our dog we’ve ever met. We’ve taken multiple trips where Lucy was unable to accompany us and she’s always stayed with Theresa, instantly making Lucy part of her family. Theresa provides daily updates, photos and has provided an outstanding “secondary” home for our pet. Lucy is always comfortable, well taken care of and loved as if she was theirs in all aspects. We appreciate everything Theresa does when Lucy stays and we will continue to use Theresa’s services in the future. Thanks Theresa - you are truly like a second mother to our dog.”
“Tiffany took great care of Marvin and was very responsive. She shared photos without having to ask. We would definitely leave Marvin in her care again!”
“Ashley was amazing with Bingo and provided constant updates. She was very patient with him as it took him some time to get comfortable. Had some personal emergencies, so we had to extend Bingo’s stay, and she was very accommodating.”
“Kyury and her husband, John, went above and beyond for our dog, Arty. From the meet-and-greet through the duration of Arty’s two-week stay, their attention to detail, passion, and genuine care were evident. They helped keep Arty comfortable and eased our concerns about his anxiety. They provided regular updates with photos and videos that did not just check a box but instead provided meaningful information. They were proactive when issues arose—adjusting his feeding when he wasn’t eating well and quickly addressing a rash by notifying us and consulting a vet. At one point, Kyury even fed Arty by hand. After Arty’s stay, Kyury reached out to check on Arty and see how his rash was doing. They truly care about the dogs they watch. We would absolutely use their services again. We (including Arty) were spoiled. They deserve your business.”
“Charles was amazing. Prince had a little issue shortly before his stay, and Charles was wonderful about making sure he received his medication. He kept me updated and even took pictures of Prince and sent them to me, which I really appreciated. Prince looked like he was having a great time and was very comfortable in Charles’s care. I was able to relax and not worry because I knew Prince was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and communication Charles provided. I would definitely recommend Charles and will gladly use him again!”
“Robin was great and very kind! Our dog has separation anxiety and Robin took great care of her. She sent us pictures and videos, and kept us updated throughout the week.”
“Shane and his pack took great care of our buddy for a weekend away! Kept us up to date and was so easy to work with, will definitely look to board with them again!”
“Ken and Felice have great empathy and understanding of all things dog related. The dogs get both inside and outside time in a large yard. My dogs are always happy to go to their house.”
“Taylor was awesome! Gracie met Taylor prior to her stay, and we felt very comfortable leaving Gracie with Taylor. She took great care of Gracie and took her to the park and to her daughter's soccer practice. We never had concerns and knew Gracie was in good hands. I strongly recommend Taylor if you need a sitter for your dog!”
“Jasmine was very accommodating so that we could meet before the booking, even though it was a bit of a last-minute for a holiday weekend. Cucumber immediately became comfortable with Jasmine and her home. Jasmine send us a bunch of pics of our baby and made us feel very comfortable leaving Cucumber for longer than she's ever been away before. I absolutely would recommend Jasmine!”
“Geovanna was absolutely wonderful with Freya! She was able to help us on such short notice, and we’re so grateful for how welcoming she and her family were. She sent us consistent updates throughout Freya’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Freya looked so happy, comfortable, and like she was genuinely enjoying her time with them. 🥰 We seriously can’t thank Geovanna enough for taking such great care of our girl and welcoming her into her home. We’ll absolutely keep her in mind anytime we’re back in the area and need someone to watch Freya again. Highly recommend! 💕”
“So glad I found Aster. She is officially my go to sitter. My Oreo absolutely loved being in her care. She send frequent updates and pics of him running around her huge backyard. I even got videos and pics of them cuddling. I have hired sitters in the past and Aster has topped them all. I’ve already booked my next two stays with her.”
“Liz and Jeff C provided outstanding and caring support and boarding for my senior Samoyed Sooki. There is not enough space here to describe everything they did to support Sooki and our family. Sooki has substantial and sometimes unpredictable health challenges. Liz, Jeff , and their sons provided EVERYTHING Sooki needed and more.”
“We had a great experience with Christhian! He was easy to collaborate with, flexible, and was very responsive to messages. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of.”
“Very friendly people, great communication. I didn’t go inside so I don’t know what indoor accommodations were like. But they have a huge backyard. They put the dogs in kennels to eat which gives me peace of mind since there were a few big dogs there at once. And my dog came home wanting to play ball for the first time in years, so she must have had fun!!”

“Emily was awesome, and took amazing care of my babies! Friendly and easy to work with, social with the fur-babies, and provided timely visits complete with full care and great communication - photos, statuses, and helpful observations! I'll definitely be booking Emily to care for the kids for my next trip! Thanks so much!!”
“She was great, reliable and was very flexible and went beyond what I asked her to do as we got a new pet parrot thrown in with our two cats. I would definitely book her again!”
“Jessica is the best! I've used her multiple times to look after my 2 cats and Im planning to book again. She treats my kitties so well and they are always in good spirits when I get home.”
“Victoria was super sweet with our two cats and took extra care with them. She was also very communicative and asked a lot of helpful questions, which I felt was a blessing considering she was our first sitter experience on Rover!”
“Gabriella was absolutely fabulous with our cat, Penny! She was prompt, dependable, and clearly takes great pride in her work. Everything was left clean and tidy, and her consistent communication gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We received photos of Penny—which made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. 😻🐾”
“I had a great experience with my Rover sitter! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, followed all of my instructions carefully, and took wonderful care of my kitties. She was friendly, reliable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated her updates and attention to detail. I look forward to booking with her again for my next getaway and would definitely recommend her to others looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Priscilla is the best! She is very communicative and punctual during her visits and sends lots and lots of photos. I felt very at ease leaving my kitties in her care and they loved her too!”
“Liz is awesome! So communicative and easy to talk to and we love that she so clearly genuinely cares about the well being of of three kitties:) she loves playing with them and giving them love. She’s also been awesome and helped provide updates about packages and emptying our dehumidifier. It’s great receiving updates and photos! Liz is a salt of the earth gem!!”
“Laurie and James did a fantastic job watching Ivy! They were quick to respond, were punctual, and I knew my pet was being taken care of well and loved on! I’d be happy to book with them for future trips:)”
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“Samantha took great care of our animals, she was prompt and communicated all concerns immediately. We were able to have a great vacation knowing our babies were well cared for!”
About: I have experience with giving medication to dogs and cats ranging from pills, eye cream, liquid in the mouth, insulin shots and other injections. I have administered all types of medications ranging from oral, topical medication, pills, insulin injections and ointments/drops in dogs & cats eyes and ears. I also have given vaccines.
“Although I ended up having to cancel my trip so Ashley/Olivia didn’t end up doing the drop in visits, Olivia was great at the drop-in visit I scheduled before our trip! My chinchillas took to her immediately. Gus, our fiestiest boy, happily accepted cheek scritches from her and another one of my chins even let her pick him up :) That says a lot about how she interacts with animals because as prey animals, trust doesn’t come easily to chinchillas. She also asked a lot of important questions about their care which I appreciated. She was super responsive and flexible about when I came to pick up my key from her. I would feel at ease with her taking care of my pets the next time I need care for them!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dorsey
“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!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Lynn! She took amazing care of our Pudge and kept us at ease with frequent updates and adorable pictures throughout the day. ❤️ It was so comforting knowing he was in such good hands and getting the love and attention he deserves. We truly appreciate how caring, attentive, and thoughtful she was. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter for their fur baby! 🐶”
“I really appreciate Robin for accommodating my anxious puppy during my visit to Maryland. She was incredibly patient and found safe and effective ways to manage my dog’s tendencies to try to escape due to her separation anxiety and kept a close eye on her, allowing me to attend my family's events with peace of mind. By the third visit, my dog was much more comfortable and playing with the other dogs. I look forward to using Robin's services when I am back visiting Maryland.”
“Good communication. Sent pictures and videos. Made me feel like my dog was in good hands! Has a huge yard where he was free to play. He came back a happy happy dog ☺️ Will be coming back!”
“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!!”
“Tiffany has again been amazing with accommodating our ever-changing schedules. Our dog feels totally comfortable with her and gets excited to see her in the mornings. We are definitely lucky to have found someone to take such great care of our girl!”
“My puppy goes to daycare at Ashley's house once a week. Ashley takes really good care of my puppy and keeps me updated with photos and how things are going. She is also very quick to respond to my requests.”
“Arly has been going to Francine's for 2 weeks now and its been Great, she seems very happy and we're very satisfied with her quick transition there. Thanks Francine for your TLC of our baby girl :)”
“Jeremy was great! We had to make changes to the reservation, and he was very responsive and made changes quickly. He also did a fantastic job watching Indi, and he provided a lot of picture updates. Thanks for doing such a great job with our dog!”
“Completely trustworthy with our fur babies! Can't say enough about Felice and Ken. They truly cater to the dogs and our pups can't wait to return each week. A plus for both daycare and boarding.”
“Aviah was so nice to accept a last minute daycare request. She has a large area for the dogs and a wonderful fenced back yard. We really appreciated the time she took with us when dropping off our dogs, the care that they received, the communications, and photos. Highly recommend! Very professional!”
“**By: Ggamang** Moving from the West Coast to the East Coast was a huge adjustment for me—new smells, new parks, and a lot of nerves. I wasn't sure I'd find a new "person" out here, but I’m so glad we found Kyury. Kyury is patient, reliable, and made me feel at home right away. It’s a huge relief for my parents to have someone they can truly trust while we settle into our new life on this coast. Whether we’re out on a walk or just hanging out, I always have the best time. If you need a sitter who genuinely cares, Kyury is the best! **5/5 Wags!**”
“Their daycare service was very professional, and they provided clear mid-day updates with photos and text messages. They also gave us detailed information about how Toto was doing throughout the day. In addition, their two very well-trained dogs interacted wonderfully with Toto, who had no prior socialization experience. Thank you so much — we would be happy to use your daycare again next time.”
“Charvé was a life saver with a last minute request when my other sitter arrangements changed. She was warm and welcoming and she kept me updated. My dog also had a blast meeting new friends.”

“Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!”

Our apartment have fenced dog park and nice sidewalk nearby. Starbucks nearby as well for a pup cup. Excited to take care of cute fur babies.
“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs. We were made to feel very welcome in their house and they did everything they could to give Zoe a comfortable stay at their house. They are very responsive and communicate well. Zoe comes home happy after each stay at their house. We recommend them highly....”
“This was Teddy’s 3rd time with Susan. It gives me peace of mind to know he is well cared for by her. She is great with communication, and I can tell Teddy is comfortable with her.”

“Shane & Brittany did a great job with walking and caring for my dog while I was away on a work trip. My dog requires extra attention (and understanding) which was handled well and made me feel at ease being away from her. I would recommend them to care for anyone’s dog. The daily reports and photos were also appreciated.”
“We've used Jaicy for a while now and she's incredibly reliable and cares greatly for our dogs. She boarded our last dog and walked him frequently. He loved spending time at her house and playing with her dogs. When we adopted our current dog I knew he'd be in good hands with Jaicy and he took right to her during our meet and greet.”
