“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!”
“Andy was great watching my 2 French Bulldogs at his home. was responsive during my booking and it was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. He sent lots of photos each day of the stay. I would recommend Andy as a reliable sitter. Thank you!”
“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”
“Erin watched Kiwi and Belsh for a couple of days and they had a great time! Erin was super communicative, sending pictures and updates, and was flexible with timing on pick up and drop off. We would use her again in the future!”
“Diana and her family took great care of our puppy while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos and was quick to respond to messages! We would trust Diana again with Pepper Ann if she is available!”
“We are so happy to have found Byamba and his family to board our dog, Rex. He was super responsive when booking, even though it was only a week before our trip. When I dropped Rex off, I could tell that Byamba was an experienced dog watcher. He was amazing with sending updates and pictures, so we felt super confident that Rex was well cared for. Highly recommend, and will definitely be using him again for future travel.”
“Lina is absolutely wonderful! It’s clear she deeply cares about canines. She recently watched our senior dog and our young adult, giving each of them the exact care and attention they needed. We loved getting daily updates and photos while we were away. Lina goes above and beyond; on their first night, she played classical music and stayed with them as they rested to make sure they felt safe. Our pups were in amazing hands, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Rose is FANTASTIC! A loving, fun and calm spirit! Pippy was so very happy and content staying with her and Zeus! I would rebook in a minute and often! We found a gem amongst rocks! 🤗”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Diana was wonderful! We had a meet-n-greet prior to booking a stay. I brought my Bella to meet Diana’s dog, Charlie. They got along fine and Bella was surprisingly comfortable around him. I booked a one night stay but Diana also picked Bella up and dropped her off so this was the easiest boarding experience I’ve ever had. Diana also shared many photos through their time together and Bella found her lap to be a favorite spot, which was nice to see. Overall, I was thrilled and will be a repeat customer.”
“Faustine took such wonderful care of our pup! She provided frequent adorable updates and I could tell her was so at ease in her home. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Kerstyn was great. I had peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. She was attentive to our dog’s needs and did a great job mingling our dog with the others. We will be booking again the next time we need a sitter!”
“Erica did a great job with our energetic bernadoodle Frances. She got Frances out to play a lot at the dog park and she sent us pics and videos every day. Thanks Erica!”
“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”
“Meri took excellent care of Cookie and provided regular updates with photos. She was very responsive and eager to make sure that Cookie had an excellent stay with her. I highly recommend her.”
“Lee Ann was a great sitter! I dropped off my pet Sia for a long stay and she was very communicative throughout! She asked all the right questions before the sitting and was very professional and sweet! She was also so considerate and flexible with my flight delays. Overall I know Sia had a great time and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Sia was in good hands. Exciting to reach out for our next vacation!”
“Christine watched my dog, Teddy, for a week and was great. Got daily updates with pictures and Teddy always looked so happy. This is my second time with Christine and would definitely recommend.”
“Christopher took excellent care of Oslo! He made sure Oslo stayed active and had plenty of playtime and it was clear he was having so much fun. I really appreciated all the picture updates throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”

“I’m so grateful Armanush could come visit our cats during the four weeks we were away. It gave me peace of mind seeing photos and knowing they had company and interaction. I would ask her to watch my cats again for sure! Thank you very much, Anush!”
“Ana was a pleasure to work with! She was incredibly responsive and happy to accommodate any last minute changes. She kept me completely updated all the way through on both my pets of course and my apartment. My kittens looked well taken care of and happy. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Summar did a fantastic job caring for my cat while we were away. Not only is it crystal clear that she loves animals, but she is also smart, kind, reliable, and highly communicative. In short, she is the ideal pet sitter, which explains why me and so many other people are her long-standing, repeat clients. Thank you Summar!!!! You are a true gem.”
“Nicole cared for my 2 cats while I was away. It was the first time in many years that I’d traveled without them, and Nicole was patient with all of us. She arrived on time, sent pictures, and answered my questions quickly about if they were eating, etc. We have some finicky old doors that can be tricky to open/lock, but Nicole managed everything perfectly. I will choose her again!”
“Pamela is absolutely wonderful!! The pups absolutely love her, she is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell she really cares about animals. She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were well taken care of, we have three with one recovering from major surgery so no small task!”
“Lingshan was a great sitter for our kitten! She was very reliable, caring, and friendly. She took very good care of our cat. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Annah is honestly hands down the best cat sitter ever. She knew all of Bee’s favorite toys and gave him the attention he craved. She would be my first choice in the future to look after my precious Bee!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of my two picky, spoiled kitties! They seemed to warm up to her quickly and she made sure they hd everything they needed. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Chiara is reliable and has been a fantastic help and support for us while we've been away. She is prompt at sending pictures and her communication is excellent, as she replies almost instantly to any message I have needed to send her. Our cat has been well looked after.”
About: I have always lived with horses, dogs, and cats in my home country, and I would love to continue spending time with pets here as well. I enjoy taking long walks—even in cold weather—and running outdoors, and I would be delighted to have a dog accompany me! I hold a master's degree in veterinary medicine from my home country and have experience caring for both large and small animals. While I periodically travel back to Europe, I am committed to spending quality time with pets when I am in DC, ensuring they get the exercise they need and recommending veterinary care when necessary. As a pet owner, I understand how crucial it is to choose the right pet sitter for the well-being of both pets and their families. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily schedule, even though I work part-time. I prioritize creating a structured routine for the pets, ensuring they receive ample attention, exercise, and care. My flexible work hours allow me to accommodate multiple walks, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day. I live in a neighborhood with excellent access to the C.C. Trail and nearby wooded paths. These trails offer shady areas and ample opportunities for exercise, making them ideal for long, enjoyable walks and jogs with the pets. In a client’s home, I follow their specific routines and preferences for pet care, including exercise, feeding, and any special needs. I make sure to use the local trails to provide the pets with the same level of care and activity they would receive in my own home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and passion for animal care. Coming from a family that has fostered dozens of elderly dogs, puppies, and kittens, I have acquired invaluable skills in handling various age groups and providing specialized care. Additionally, my background working in a veterinary hospital for over two years has honed my knowledge of emergency care and the ability to identify signs of distress. I am well-versed in administering medication, maintaining hygiene, and providing comfort to animals in need. With my comprehensive expertise and genuine love for animals, I am dedicated to ensuring their well-being and providing exceptional care as a sitter. I have taken care of pretty much every animal you can thing of as a pet, including bearded dragons, snakes, fish, iguanas, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, axolotls, parakeets, and parrots, just to name a few. I am available for dog sitting and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. I work part-time 2-3 days a week, but the remaining days are completely open. I have reliable transportation and can adjust my availability to ensure your furry friend receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home, I prioritize their well-being and provide comprehensive care. I ensure they receive thorough exercise to keep them active and healthy. Timely feeding and constant access to fresh water are fundamental aspects of their care. Leveraging my experience from working in a veterinary hospital, I am vigilant in monitoring their health, always on the lookout for any signs of discomfort or distress. The safety and happiness of the animals in my care are of utmost importance, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where they feel loved and attended to.

“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”
About: 👋 I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since I was a child. I’ve owned an Airedale terrier, a pug, a Russian terrier, and my family currently has a Japanese spitz and a toy terrier. I have lots of experience - I have adopted a doggie from a shelter before, and I’ve also raised my two pups from 3 months old until they passed a few months ago at ages 14 and 16. Prior to registering on Rover I’ve boarded dogs - I looked after a friend’s pug for a week, a family friend’s elderly golden retriever, and fostered a stray my sister and I rescued from the street before someone adopted her. I’ve taken road trips with multiple pets, and flown across the country with 3 of my dogs, I’ve taken them to all sorts of vet appointments, and been with them through all stages of their lives. ♥️ I’m on this platform looking for company to heal from losing my furry friends - the pain of it shook me to my core, I loved them so much, they were my family members (you know how it is). Being around dogs brings me peace and joy. I am a performing artist and I travel a lot for concerts, so having my own pet is unfortunately not feasible at the moment, hence I decided that taking care of someone else’s furry babies while I’m home between performances is the second best thing:) You can rest assured that I’ll take great pleasure in looking after them and having them in my home. 🏡 I work from home during the day and I am home from evening until morning, too. I do however step out for errands and appointments. Your dog will be with me most of the time while staying in my home, walked 2-3 times and fed on schedule, but should be comfortable being on its own for 2-3 hours max, if I have things to do. ❗️If your pup has severe separation anxiety and is unable to be alone at all, I can accommodate that with enough notice and for 2x my normal nightly rate. 🐶 I’ve always let my dogs run free around the house and made a safe space for them where they liked, but I did crate my rescue doggie when he first arrived to slowly acclimate him to the new place. Whatever you prefer for your dog is fine by me and I’m happy to accommodate. I don’t have a yard, but I have plenty of green areas nearby where I’d walk your furry pal. I keep my dogs on leash at all times. I steer clear of other dogs by default when I’m walking your dog, so whether they’re leash reactive or not, I err on the side of caution 100% of the time. 🐕 I like training doggies and playing with them to give them some mental stimulation, but if they prefer to chill and not be bothered I’m cool with that as well ❗️I’m not looking to scale this as a business and not looking for a potentially unsafe situation, so I’m always only caring for 1 dog at a time, unless both dogs are from the same owner and are part of the same booking.
“Sasha and her her husband Ming and team were absolutely amazing and were able to take my 10 month old bored pup in on a last minute notice for a play date! Thanks so much! They also gave him a to go baggie of toys and balls and he is tearing up the stuffed toy now. :) thanks!!!”
“Daisy enjoyed her 5-hour stay with Rae yesterday. They went for two walks together, which Daisy loved. Rae was very conscientious and asked questions to be sure that Daisy would be comfortable and happy during her stay. I recommend Rae if you are looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”
“My baby Kiki had a puppy daycare with Andy, and I could not be happier! Andy is very reliable: he kept Kiki safe and happy when I had a long work day and also accommodated my early drop-off time etc. I also appreciated his warm and gentle way of handling Kiki and communicating with me timely. I received many cute photos and video in Rover daycare report card which was great and informative. Thanks again Andy for the perfect daycare for Kiki last two days! We will return soon~”
“Diana is a kind soul and an amazing host for my puppy. She’s been very helpful with potty training and always makes sure everything feels safe and comfortable. Her adorable dog, Charlie, is super chill and friendly, which makes the environment even better. Diana is flexible, responsive, and you can feel her genuine passion for caring for animals. We’re already asking her to set up regular visits because we trust her completely. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Byamba was exceptional! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with his loving family. We received regular updates and Luka was very happy when we picked him up. Thanks again for your help!”
“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Colleen and family are amazing. I love seeing what Otis has been up to throughout the day. He is actually excited to go to doggy day care. thank you, Colleen!”
About: Hello, I’m Carrie and I love dogs! I have two dogs right now - Mattie (14) and Mavis (4) - and I’ve had at least one my entire life. I grew up around animals and love being with them and taking care of them. I first used Rover for a 2-week boarding for my dogs a few years ago and it was such a wonderful experience I thought I’d open my home for dog daycare and boarding, too. My dogs have had less than great experiences in dog boarding facilities and so I understand the desire to have a family home environment for your dog while you are away! I would welcome your dog for daycare or boarding at my home where I have both a fenced yard and a wooded area with a stream for daily walks. I take my dogs out at least three times a day. The home is a single family home with two levels and lots of space. I work primarily from home and on the days when I’m at the office, my husband works from home. I would take care of your pup on the same scheduled as my dogs unless you request a specific schedule. My dogs have the roam of the home and I have a fenced in yard and an outdoor space into the woods for leashed walks. I welcome you to bring your dog with whatever would make the dog comfortable during the stay and have plenty of space for crates, beds, dishes, etc.
About: I am experienced in taking care of dogs including those with high needs that require medications and puppies as young as 3 months. I have had wonderful experience with walking, boarding and overnight stays over weekends. I am very engaging when I care for dogs, always making sure they get plenty of play and exercise if they are physically able, and I enjoy incorporating some basic training as a part of that play. I am sensitive to different needs of each dog and I socially accommodate for each of their needs. I am a very patient and warm caretaker. I build my schedule around my responsibilities and planned pet care but I typically wake up around 7am and go to sleep around midnight. I am used to frequent outings for dogs because I raised mine from when he was very young and he needed to go out about every hour. I have learned to be very patient and read signs of discomfort and needs in order to keep all animals safe, happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have close access to a secluded dog park and beautiful green spaces in a very walkable neighborhood. If I am watching a dog in a new area, I always look for similar spaces where dogs can safely engage with their environment. Within the home, I like to combine toys and training to get the most out of my time there. I am very affectionate towards cats and will help them get their daily activity in. I know some cats are nervous and need their space, and I can always accommodate for their individual needs.
“So happy to have found Ben! He is warm, caring, and great with our little Dachshund who can be anxious around new people. Ben sent us regular updates and photos over the day to make us feel at ease, and Dougal enjoyed his time with him. He is looking forward to hanging out again next week. 😄”
“Lee took excellent care of our dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. We appreciated the regular updates and our dog was very happy at the end of the day. Would highly recommend and use her services again.”

“We met Nicole for the first time. She's a wonderful young woman, full of positive energy and joy. Our dog Sasha immediately liked and trusted her. It's clear that Nicole has a huge heart for animals. We offered Nicole a full-year schedule right away. ~ Tom”
“Pamela has been amazing with our 14.5 year old special needs dog Shayna! She is sweet and extremely patient with her, and has made a point of trying to get to know Shayna and her needs. Pamela followed our care instructions to a tee. She was punctual and sent us pictures and texts while visiting Shayna, and even stayed a little longer than the scheduled visit until she was sure Shayna was settled before heading out. We are very pleased with Pamela and look forward to having her take care of Shayna again soon.”
About: Growing up I’ve always had animal companions in my family’s house. My family has had generations of dogs raised into senior ages full of health. I currently have my buddy Timmy who’s been with me since I was 9, he’s a 14 year old German Shepard, Corgi mix. I’ve been responsible for his senior care for the last 5 years and have learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of your companions life and look forward to working with you! I am currently a full time student at an online university. My schedule is very flexible, so I am certain I can work with you to find consistent times to meet your pets needs. I believe that keeping a pet on a leash while on walks is the best way to protect them. I will ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors while being extra safe. I am a vigilant person as well, so I’ll always be on the look out for danger 🫡🫡
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I genuinely love being around dogs and have years of experience caring for them. I have been a dog owner for 8 years and have cared for both small and large breeds. Both of my dogs were raised from the puppy stage so I also have experience with training including potty and chew training. On top of just caring for my own dogs, I have previously worked as a dog sitter and walker for neighbours and family friends. My responsibilities included taking dogs on long walks, feeding them, making sure they went outside regularly, and, giving them attention while their owners were away. Apart from my experience I am a big dog lover, I am the type of person who walks into a gathering and immediately goes to spend time with the dog. For me it's not just a job, I enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them keeping them active and giving them attention. Since I am a Uni student I do not see my dog often and I would love to be surrounded by them! I am a university student, we are currently on summer break, however I am taking a summer course from 11:00am - 1:30pm, Monday to Friday. I am free anytime after these hours and on weekends I can do earlier if needed. I live in a townhouse style apartment, It has a balcony on the back with two levels and a grass area on the bottom floor which is fenced. The apartment itself is not too small, there is a living area that is separated from the bedrooms. I believe there are no other dogs in the building.
“Emanuela was incredible! She picked up Luna from our mom's house and took her for generous walks twice a day while we were out of town. She was easy to coordinate with and also took great pictures of her time with Luna. Thank you Emanuela!”
“Elliot just started walking Buddy and I can’t say enough nice things. Elliot is very responsible, shares information about their time together and Buddy liked Elliot from the jump!”
“Genevieve is amazing with our dog Louis!! She is super friendly, responsive, and always on time, and she provides helpful details in her reports on every walk. Our dog is BEYOND excited to see her every time she comes to pick him up, which is always the best sign. We highly recommend Genevieve to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and grew up with a Rottweiler, so I’m comfortable with larger breeds and have plenty of experience caring for them. Many of my friends have big dogs, and I often enjoy taking them out for walks. During the warmer months, I can even take your pup on a short run to burn off some extra energy! With prior military service, I bring a high level of responsibility, reliability, and dedication to ensuring your dog gets the best care and attention during our time together. I can be free in the evenings starting at 6 pm on weekdays, or Wednesday mornings before 10:30am. My weekends are free and I can easily fit in a walk while you’re out living your best life. I give all animals lots of love, attention, and patience! I communicate well, and would love to share updates on how your dog is enjoying their walk, with a quick pic or two to capture the moment.
About: I grew up on a farm in Baltimore County, so you could say I'm comfortable around many different kinds of animals. We always had dogs and cats growing up. Last year, my sweet 14-year-old Maltese passed away and I have been missing dog (and cat) interaction since. She needed bi-weekly allergy shots, which I administered. That being said, I am experienced in elderly animal care and know how to administer medicine (shots as well as oral medicine). I live in a house with a fenced in yard and I live a short distance from a dog-friendly park. I am a stay at home mom, so I available most times of the day (except during school drop off and pick up). At the moment, I only accept one dog for dog boarding at a time. *Drop off and pick up times are between 8 am and 10 pm. I also offer pet pick up and drop off for $5 each if you are unavailable between those times.* I am available weekdays from 9-3 to help with your fur baby. Please let me know what I can do to help your pup or cat! I have a fenced in yard for your pup to play in freely. I also have a cavalier puppy of my own that would love to play!
About: As a dog walker, my specialty is to take pups out into nature. As I've been doing for 7+ years now, my service allows my dogs to grow and learn with each other amongst the sights and sounds of natural neighborhood trails. Offering socialization, training routines, in-depth interaction and lots of physical exercise, when I take dogs out to the trail I treat them as my own. I am typically active Tues-Thurs, with Monday and Friday being flexible. My walks/hikes are midday and offer my clients the opportunity to get their pup out during the work day for a thorough and holistic walking experience. For the service I offer, any pup that comes along quickly learns the rhythms of our activity. I've been described by friends as somewhat of a dog whisperer, and nothing brings me more joy than developing a mutual understanding between dogs wherein they get to have fun as long as they adhere to clearly established rules and modes of communication.
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. I absolutely love taking care of them, and make sure every walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s energy level. It’s summer break from college for me, so I’m 100% free 24/7! Feel free to book me at any time on any day of the week. 🐶🐾🦴 I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water and plenty of attention and playtime.
About: I have grown up with a big dog in my house, and now volunteer weekly in an animal shelter. I enjoy taking them on walks and caring for them as needed! I am currently on break from school, so have lots of time for dog walks and check-ins! I am free often this next month or so. I am very experienced working with different kinds of dogs from time at the shelter, and know how to handle different breeds and sizes. I will happily work to make sure your dog is comfortable with me!
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life and have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, Boxers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and currently a Labrador Retriever. This experience has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and training needs. I am comfortable handling both large and active dogs, and I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every dog as if they were my own. As an educator with Montgomery County Public Schools, I have a structured schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care. During the school year, I am available for dog walks and visits between 6:30 AM and 8:00 AM on weekdays, as well as after work beginning at 3:30 PM. I am also available on weekends. Beginning June 18, I will have open availability and be available seven days a week for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, overnight stays, and last-minute requests. Caring for dogs has been a part of my daily life for many years, and I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, attention, and companionship they need to be happy and healthy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions to ensure their routine remains consistent and comfortable. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog’s age, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk for exercise or a slower-paced stroll, I make sure they get plenty of activity, attention, and care. For drop-in visits, I can provide fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any other care requested by the owner. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and cared for when their family is away. For doggy daycare, I provide a safe, supervised environment with plenty of attention, exercise, play, and opportunities to relax. My goal is to make sure every dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. Having owned dogs my entire life, including German Shepherds, Boxers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and a Labrador Retriever, I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels.
“Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!”
“First walk with our boy Ziggy and she was great. On time, took him out to the dog park, he came back tired. All you can ask for! Super nice and asked all the right questions. We felt very comfortable with her.”

“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!”
“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”
“Erin watched Kiwi and Belsh for a couple of days and they had a great time! Erin was super communicative, sending pictures and updates, and was flexible with timing on pick up and drop off. We would use her again in the future!”
“We are so happy to have found Byamba and his family to board our dog, Rex. He was super responsive when booking, even though it was only a week before our trip. When I dropped Rex off, I could tell that Byamba was an experienced dog watcher. He was amazing with sending updates and pictures, so we felt super confident that Rex was well cared for. Highly recommend, and will definitely be using him again for future travel.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Faustine took such wonderful care of our pup! She provided frequent adorable updates and I could tell her was so at ease in her home. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Kerstyn was great. I had peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. She was attentive to our dog’s needs and did a great job mingling our dog with the others. We will be booking again the next time we need a sitter!”
“Erica did a great job with our energetic bernadoodle Frances. She got Frances out to play a lot at the dog park and she sent us pics and videos every day. Thanks Erica!”
“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”
“Lee Ann was a great sitter! I dropped off my pet Sia for a long stay and she was very communicative throughout! She asked all the right questions before the sitting and was very professional and sweet! She was also so considerate and flexible with my flight delays. Overall I know Sia had a great time and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Sia was in good hands. Exciting to reach out for our next vacation!”
“Christopher took excellent care of Oslo! He made sure Oslo stayed active and had plenty of playtime and it was clear he was having so much fun. I really appreciated all the picture updates throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Armanush was wonderful. She was very responsive and provided plenty of updates and pictures of the dogs. My flight was delayed and she was accommodating of a later pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”
“Amazing care. She sent pictures of my dog everyday. She even let me extend last minute which was appreciated. He had an amazing time with her and I will be rebooking with her. Thank you again.”
“Johanna was awesome! She was super communicative and easy going. I know Louis loved staying with her and Panda, and I would absolutely have her watch him again.”
“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) 😆.”
“Bridgid was phenomenal. Our dog is standoffish with new people, but by the end of two days with Bridgid he didn’t want to leaver her. Her years of dog ownership really show and she projects calm, confidence, and flexibility. She handled a complex med schedule like a champ and truly went above and beyond. She may be new to Rover, but don’t let that fool you - she is truly one of the best you will find.”
