“Diane was absolutely wonderful! I have never left my dog with anyone outside of family, needless to say this was a very nerve wrecking experience for me. However, Diane updated me everyday with pictures of my pup and the daily schedule! If you happen to come across her profile don’t hesitate to book with her! Thank you so much again Diane!”
“Cameron cared for out 6 month old 50 lb. GSP over the weekend our pup met new friends like her sweet service dog and enjoyed her beautiful backyard. Cameron kept us updated throughout the weekend with pictures and videos. She id so knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors. We truly appreciate her opening her home to our pup and will be booking again.”
“This was the absolute best experience with Nick and Yiqiuxi. The communication was daily with pictures. In each picture my puppy looked so happy and comfortable. They will definitely be his home away from home when I need to go out of town. I cant say Thank You enough!!”

“Garrett and Ana were wonderful! Kylo thinks so too! We appreciated their communication while he was with them. It gave us peace of mind that he was fine and relaxed. We also appreciated their time to acquaint him with their own dog and other boarders. We'd definitely use them again!”
“Lashelle was a great person to watch over my dog. She provided me with daily updates and pictures of his visit. Through updates, I was able to view the love and care given to my dog while I was away. I will definitely seek to work with her again.”
“Tanita and Terrence were great! Hendrix is a big boy and a little (ok.. BIG) excited when he meets new people. They made him feel at home and took excellent care. I got regular updates and pictures. Highly recommend”

“Thank you for making my first experience with this app such a positive one! As a fairly new pet parent, I had never used this app and didn’t know what to expect. Beauty was very responsive, sent videos and updates, and I could tell my dog really loved his time there. Will absolutely book again.”
“As always, he provided outstanding service! We have used him multiple times, and he consistently takes amazing care of our dog. He gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about the animals he watches. This stay was especially wonderful because our dog even learned how to swim! We loved receiving updates and knowing our dog was having such a great time. We always come home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Tara was absolutely amazing!! This was my first time leaving my two pups in her care and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent tons of pictures throughout the day and very thorough updates on what was going on throughout their stay. One of my pups had a rough time adjusting to a new space and had some accidents inside and Tara was so patient and understanding. I also have a senior pup and they were all so careful with him and ensured he was safe the whole visit. She took them on walks, had lots of playtime and they got tons of cuddles from the whole family. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pups were safe and being cared for as if they were at home. I will definitely book again in the future, I highly recommend her services!”
“OMG Brian's house is the BEST! Huge is usually pretty shell-shocked to be left behind. But this time was different. When we got to the house, Hugo jauntily walked right up to the right place, stopped to pee on a bush, and cruised right on in like he owned the place. I've never seen him so immediately at home in a strange house. He briefly greeted Bob and then explored. It was amazing. Brian has a very laid-back, positive vibe that transmits to people and to dogs. He is also very good at judging personalities and knowing how much affection and attention a dog is going to need. I hope he always has room for Hugo whenever we travel to DC!”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”

“I am always at ease when I book Kylie to care for my cat, Guillermo, while I’m away. She is the most thoughtful and caring sitter. She sends tons of cute pictures, leaves detailed notes for each visit, and goes the extra mile to make sure Guillermo is comfortable and happy. Thanks Kylie!!”
About: i’ve taken care of cats for YEARS! friends of family have left their cats in my care to babysit when i was in high school. i’ve had my own cats for years and make sure they’re well fed and well take care of. i make sure they have plenty of food and water and treats when they’re good!
“I really appreciated the quick responses and the daily pictures. The fact that M’aiq actually let her see him goes to show she is definitely a cat person. I didn’t worry about my babies once.”
“Kady loves and knows animals and it really shows. She's very communicative and professional. Kady went above and beyond to help clean up after a cat having new litter issues. She handled my 4 cats with no issues. I highly recommend her for anyone with cats and multiple animals. I will absolutely use Kady again in the future.”
“Aleyah was good with our two senior cats. She was always prompt and made a point to come by before her first visit to meet them. She is always super prompt with communication and scheduling.”
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
About: Although I do not have cats of my own, I am happy to care for yours! I’ve worked as a cat volunteer at the humane society and pet sit for cats in the past. I have not administered medication to cats, but am happy to learn!
About: My family and I have boarded dogs for the last year. We done much house sitting for families, boarded dogs, and have done drop in visits over the holidays and summer vacation. Taking good care of our animals is what we do. It is a big responsibility and we offer the best service! With updating you daily about how your fur babies are doing as well as sending many pictures and videos of them! Right now my schedule is pretty free during the weekdays and weekends with being a college student on summer break! I will be able to provide much attention to our animals. We have a fenced in yard but we will no longer board dogs. House sitting and drop in visits are preferred for our services. With these visits, we make sure that the animals are fed, played with, and taken out. When we leave your home, we will make sure the house is locked and your animals are safe.
“Anna did a great job looking after my senior cat with health issues. As all 3 of my pets have conditions requiring meds, it is a comfort to leave them with someone with Vet Tech experience.”
“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”
“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”
“Breanna is AMAZING with my big baby boy 🐕!!! We are beyond Lucky to have found her! She goes above and beyond and is like a Dog Whisperer lol! My German Shepherd LOVES her and she’s his new bestie. I hope I can keep Breanna forever! 5 stars Highly recommend- she’s Wonderful!! 😁”
“I met Christina during the Rover meet and Greet. We had an easy and nice conversation. I felt comfortable leaving our lovely cat Miss Pepper ( and our house to some extent) in her care. My cat is an inside cat taking strides outside at night. Christina sent me pictures of the fresh meals that she arranged on the floor in different cups on newspapers- it was a comfortable experience for us and we plan to use Rover next time as well?”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was six years old and I still have a cat of my own. Will take care of all your fur babies needs including play time, changing litter box, feeding, and lots of pets. My childhood cat lived to be 22 years old so I have experience with senior cats as well.

“Connie was amazing with Thor! Besides being available last minute, she went above and beyond. She has a super warm personality and made Thor feel at ease right away. He was so happy to run around in her yard. She even packed some homemade treats for him to take home! She was just fantastic and I highly recommend. We will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our pup.”
“This lovely couple was PERFECT. I could not say enough awesome things about them!! They were accommodating for my two babies and I will definitely rebook with them in the future!”
About: I’ve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.
About: We treat your pup like family—just like our own! We understand how important it is to know your dog is in the best hands. With a safe, comfortable home and a fully fenced yard with plenty of shade, your dog will have space to play, relax, and feel right at home. Our love for dogs means we provide personalized care, ensuring a happy, stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend! Pet care is at the heart of our daily routine! Our family of dedicated dog carers includes full-time and part-time workers, ensuring that someone is always home to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime in our fenced yard, cozy relaxation indoors, or supervised socialization, your dog will always have loving companionship and a safe, comfortable environment throughout the day. In our home, we follow a loving and consistent routine to ensure every pup feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Each day includes morning walks—rain or shine—followed by feeding and plenty of outdoor playtime in our fenced yard. If it’s raining, we bring the fun inside with an assortment of safe dog toys and interactive play. In the afternoon, we head out for another walk, and if applicable, a trip to the doggy park for extra social time. Treat time is always a highlight, and in the evening, we wind down with a final walk before tucking your pup into bed with soothing music for a peaceful night’s sleep. If your dog is more of a lounger and loves to relax while watching TV, we’re happy to accommodate their favorite pastimes, too! Your dog becomes part of our routine—and part of our family.
“This was my very first-time using Rover, and when I say I am overly pleased. Richardine is AWESOME! I was so nervous to use the service because I had just had a pup pass away, and I did not know what I was going to do going forward. I did a meet and greet with Richardine, and I knew at that moment, my pup will be with Richardine each time I will need a sitter. Very personable, reliable, and made sure I received photos throughout the day to let me know what my pup was doing. Once I picked my pup up, she was playing, and happy. I am truly overjoyed with the service that I received. Thank you so much Richardine, and I will see you very soon. Latisha M.”
About: I am an experienced pet owner who would love to provide quality care for your pets. Your pets will never know you are gone!! Give us a try! I have two senior dogs who know they are loved. Both were rescued from bad situations and have been with me 8 and 13 years respectively. We do a daily walk around the neighborhood and they still look forward to it, even the one with 3 legs. I took care of him when his leg was amputated 5 years ago due to cancer and feel pretty good about giving meds, if necessary. Your dog will be well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard and I do walks. I have cared for younger dogs also who want to play and fetch and run. Your dog will be safe in my home and I will do my best to keep your dog on the schedule that you have.
“Lillian and her family are truly a blessing. We definitely will be using their services again. They provided a safe, friendly, and loving environment for our Hazel. Our little Hazel ran to the door every morning she stayed there! Very prompt with any questions we had before and during Hazel's care. Very understanding when I was running late. They were the perfect choice and we were blessed to have found them.”
“Saniyya was responsive and flexible! I was a little late picking up & she was helpful. Appreciate her help & would use again! Day care end time posted was a little off ( actually at 540p not 6p) but overall satisfied! Thank you Saniyya”
About: I offer a safe, comfortable home environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I have a fully fenced 1-acre property and have dedicated areas of my home specifically for animals.

I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. In my home pets have access to dedicated areas and a fully fenced 1-acre property for supervised play and exercise.
“La Tasha did a great job with our dog Ghost. She was very attentive to him and sent me lots of pictures and video to keep me updated throughout the day. We will be using her services again very soon!”
“My first time using Rover and can’t say that I wasn’t nervous. I spoke to Seyla the night before my drop off and he assured me that Ace was in good hands. And that he was. He communicated with me all day with videos and pictures of Ace mingling with the other dogs and his daily walks he took. The pick up and drop was very smooth. Ace was accepted and enjoyed his day with Seyla and his wife. Got him home and was ready for bed. I would definitely recommend Sehla to anyone and will for sure will be using his service again.”

I recently graduated high school so my schedule is very flexible and open to provide routine dependable care for home and your pets while you are away. I always make your pets safety and well being a top priority by keeping pets in a stable safe environment including outside in yards, on walks, as well as inside their home.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.

About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.

My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every dog, and I treat each pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. Prefer morning walks and late afternoon walks.Have an open schedule. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their regular routines. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, clean up after them, administer medication if instructed, and spend quality time playing with and comforting them. I also keep the home clean and secure by bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring doors and gates are locked before leaving. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while they are away.
“Trina has been amazing with Nugget who is NOT a fan of walking. She has been resourceful to ensure he gets the most out of his walks. She is on time, communicative and provides a thorough report after each walk.”
“English is amazing! She took good care of my senior dog Rex. She was patient and kind and kept me posted the whole entire time. She is reliable and always on time. Which was crucial with Rex having mobility issues and needing to go to the bathroom more often. I will book her again.❤️”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, both as a pet owner and professionally. I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My professional experience includes dog training and bathing/grooming, and I am also accredited through PetSmart while currently working toward becoming a certified groomer. This ongoing training continues to strengthen my understanding of canine behavior, body language, handling techniques, and how to keep dogs comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra exercise and attention, or another type of care, I’m happy to tailor my approach to their individual personality and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time as a professional dog bather, typically 15–20 hours per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care around my work schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other services throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Because my work is already centered around caring for dogs, I’m comfortable working with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for your dogs and cats in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routines as consistent as possible and treating your space with the same respect I would my own. For walks, I’ll stay in familiar local areas and use safe, vetted trails that are appropriate for your dog’s needs and energy level. I have professional experience handling and caring for dogs, including bathing and training, so I’m comfortable paying attention to body language, behavior, and potential safety concerns. I’ll always follow your instructions, communicate with you throughout the stay, and make sure your pet receives attentive, dependable care while you’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Val! I'm a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (we were definitely a pet-crazy family!). My sister is a former vet tech (I have learned so much from her and she is still my #1 resource when I have to "triage" anything non-emergent), and I grew up surrounded by animals, so pet care has always felt like second nature to me. I’ve cared for senior pets, administered medications, supported animals with special needs, even raised premature puppies! I’m very attuned to the unique rhythms and cues of each animal I meet. I’m gentle, playful, and intuitive, matching energy levels and always paying attention to what a pet needs in the moment. Whether that means slow movements and soft energy or zoomies and tug-of-war, I show up in a way that helps your pet feel safe, respected, and loved. I also deeply value communication with pet parents. I’ll always ask lots of questions to understand your preferences, routines, and what makes your pet feel their best. You can count on regular photo and written updates during our time together! I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with pets who may require more attention on walks together due to triggers, so long as there’s no bite history and we’ve had a proper meet & greet to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. :) I'm looking forward to meeting your fur fam! I work remotely and have a flexible and self-structured schedule, so I’m thankfully able to build my days intentionally around the things that matter, including pet care! I space out my client sessions to make room for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with the animals I care for. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and always take the time to understand what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I read behavior cues, match energy levels, and adjust my approach, whether that means calm and slow or playful and high-energy. I ask detailed questions up front so I can follow your preferences closely, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes. Your pet’s well-being and emotional safety are my top priorities.
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dog breeds my whole life. I’ve also owned cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have 2+ years of experience with taking care of bearded dragons and I’ve had a couple visits with snakes, specifically corn snakes. I work with any and all dogs/cats. I also like to send pics/videos of the pets to their owners daily for that reassurance that their fur baby is taken care of with the upmost care! I’m currently a full-time college student. I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!

They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter that just loves animals Aaron and Tia are your people this is my second time and they are 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You won't go wrong”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our little guys this weekend. Also thanks for the updates it gave my wife peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely be working with you in the future.”
“Lashelle was a great person to watch over my dog. She provided me with daily updates and pictures of his visit. Through updates, I was able to view the love and care given to my dog while I was away. I will definitely seek to work with her again.”
“Tanita and Terrence were great! Hendrix is a big boy and a little (ok.. BIG) excited when he meets new people. They made him feel at home and took excellent care. I got regular updates and pictures. Highly recommend”

“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“As always, he provided outstanding service! We have used him multiple times, and he consistently takes amazing care of our dog. He gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about the animals he watches. This stay was especially wonderful because our dog even learned how to swim! We loved receiving updates and knowing our dog was having such a great time. We always come home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Tara was absolutely amazing!! This was my first time leaving my two pups in her care and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent tons of pictures throughout the day and very thorough updates on what was going on throughout their stay. One of my pups had a rough time adjusting to a new space and had some accidents inside and Tara was so patient and understanding. I also have a senior pup and they were all so careful with him and ensured he was safe the whole visit. She took them on walks, had lots of playtime and they got tons of cuddles from the whole family. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pups were safe and being cared for as if they were at home. I will definitely book again in the future, I highly recommend her services!”
“OMG Brian's house is the BEST! Huge is usually pretty shell-shocked to be left behind. But this time was different. When we got to the house, Hugo jauntily walked right up to the right place, stopped to pee on a bush, and cruised right on in like he owned the place. I've never seen him so immediately at home in a strange house. He briefly greeted Bob and then explored. It was amazing. Brian has a very laid-back, positive vibe that transmits to people and to dogs. He is also very good at judging personalities and knowing how much affection and attention a dog is going to need. I hope he always has room for Hugo whenever we travel to DC!”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Emmanuel and will definitely entrust our golden retriever Gracie with him again! He helped us out on short notice for an overnight stay. He immediately built trust and communicated frequently while Gracie stayed with him. We are so glad we found him!”
“Lindsay was just who we needed to care for our boy Migo! I can tell she cares very deeply about the animals entrusted to her, and Migo was no exception. Even as an anxious dog, his short vacation with them left him a l little bummed out to be leaving! For a caring and devoted animal lover to watch over your own, look no further! Lindsay truly is the best of the best and I am forever grateful for her. 💙”
“Vanessa & Gio were warm and welcoming. My fur baby, Blaze received exceptional care from them for the 5 days he spent with them. They are very attentive and followed my long list of daily instructions. I received daily updates with either video or pictures of Blaze which is important to my family. I will definitely use Vanessa & Gio for my future boarding needs.”
“Exceeded my expectations! This dynamic duo is truly a dream team. They took very good care of my Tyson since the meet and greet! They are very communicative and will send you as little or as many updates as you can take. This was my first time away from my baby and it’s warming to find out I was the one with separation anxiety while he had a friend and a safe space to be a dog! Will DEFINITELY be using there awesome services again!”
