“Kelly was such a relief with helping us on a last-minute boarding over the Christmas weekend. As it was our first time using rover, she was very good at calming my concerns and making sure I understood how everything would happen. She was even kind enough to send pictures while we were away. The whole experience was so much better than the typical kennel setup - not sure we’ll even think of anything but Rover and Kelly next time.”
“Cleo always enjoys her stays with Denise's family. They always follow her care instructions and take great care of her, and share plenty of photos so I can check in. Would definitely recommend this sitter and will book with them again in the future.”
“Lana and her husband took amazing care of our dog, Athena, for two weeks while we were traveling, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They’re wonderful, caring people with an awesome yard, and we felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such great hands! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lynnette and Vince took such great care of our senior dog for her first ever sleep away from home. They communicated frequently, sent pictures with periodic updates, and prepared well to accommodate her needs. They even scheduled a meet & greet before hand to get to know our dog and allow us to ask questions and address any concerns we had prior to completing the booking. We know our dog had such a great time there and will definitely rely on them for future stays. Thanks!”
“We booked with Tanita and Terrence and this was our first time leaving our puppy with anyone else other than family or friends. Both Tanita and Terrence are AMAZING. Everyday they were sending us updates with pictures or videos of our dog and showing us how much fun he was having at his stay with them. He definitely loved being there and was in great care, leaving myself and my partner stress free about leaving our pup with them knowing he was being looked after by such kind and dog loving sitters ? Thank you Tanita and Terrence !!”
“Major always has the best time. Knowing he is well taken care of makes my heart happy and puts my mind at ease. I could never put into words how thankful I am to have found Lilian!”
“Monica was very attentive and patient with questions I had and with Marley in her care! You can tell that she is a very caring pet mom. I received pictures and a detail daily report of Marley’s stay and activities. I was comfortable with leaving Marley with Monica and his new playmates.”
“Kelly&Maurice were wonderful from the beginning to the end. Will definitely use them again, I was never comfortable with leaving my dog with anyone. Kelly called and explained how they would be caring for my dog she made me feel at ease. So Thank you kelly & Maurice”
“LaTasha was amazing with our puppy! We received photos and videos daily, which we needed with this being our first boarding experience away from our little baby. Our cocoa came back looking and smelling amazing! We will definitely use LaTasha for future needs! 🫶🏾”
“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.”
“I’m happy that I left my dog with Yiqiuxi and Lee. She did so good with them and didn’t have any anxiety. They sent pictures and gave me updates on how she was doing every day. I will definitely use their services the next time I go away.”
“Koda is doing great. Thank you for asking. I guess going to one place for 10 years and the switching up without maybe a few short visits did not work for him. Thanks again for your concern but Koda is doing great. Our baby is just that, our baby and he a big part of our family.”
“They were great! Very responsive and took care of my dog! I had a severe delay in my travel plans and they graciously allowed my dog to stay an extra night which really took a lot of stress off for me. Will absolutely use them again.”
“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“This was our second time boarding with Rena. Her communication is great and we received regular pictures and updates. We feel comfortable leaving our Kesha with Rena and would do again.”
“Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“Lori was absolutely AMAZING. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Lori maintained constant communication and sent pictures and videos throughout Chuck’s stay. Chuck had a great time with the other dogs and we will definitely use Lori in the future! Thank you so much, Lori ?”

“We have worked with Summer for over a week now and she’s great with our puppy, Kali. She communicates well, very reliable, and follows instructions with ease. I don’t feel like I have to worry when she drops in with Kali.”
“Vanessa did a great job taking care of my cats while we were on vacation. She provided daily updates and made an extra attempt to find the cats in their hiding spots to make sure all was well. I would definitely ask her to pet sit again!”
“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! 🧡”
“Amber was amazing. Very great communication with pictures as well as letting you know when your animal was fed and how many times they went to the bathroom. She did a meet and greet before I left and you can honestly tell her love for animals. Will not hesitate to use her services again for my Goldie girl.”
“Ben is absolutely wonderful! He took such good care of our two senior cats! If you want your pet to be cared for by someone who is attentive, kind, and loves pets- Ben is your pick! Thanks again!!”

“Linda was great! Super responsive, wonderful with the dogs, and sent great pictures so we could see them throughout the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Synia A. was fantastic! She was kind, dependable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire pet-sitting experience. She met all my requirements and made sure all of my pet needs were taken care of as well. She also has great communication skills and gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her services.”
“Lindsay stayed for 10 days with my 17 year old cat. He takes many supplements and meds and Lindsay followed the schedule precisely. She sent updates and pics everyday to let me know how it was going. She made sure he was well cared for and that he felt comfortable with her. After the first day, he was snuggling with her on the couch. She checked in when she had questions. Lindsay was respectful of my home which made me very comfortable having her stay. She was an excellent sitter and I would highly recommend her. I will absolutely be rebooking with her anytime I need to go out of town.”

“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. 🙏”

One thing I especially appreciate is her excellent communication throughout the entire stay. She keeps me updated with plenty of pictures and detailed information about my dog’s day, including walks, potty breaks, meals, and activities. I never have to wonder how things are going because she makes sure I’m kept in the loop. English is reliable, attentive, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals.

“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.”

For about 10 years, I have walked and taken care of my neighbors dog when they needed me to for many years. I can do walks and drop ins. Please message me if you think I would be a good fit for you and your furry friend ! I work every other week. So I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I love to get them excited and tired out. I do not do this from home. I am very safe. I will make sure all doors and fences are secure, and watch when I leave.
About: I’ve had experience since I was born but I’ve been more attentive and actually working to take care of them since 13. I’m 18 now, I have watched scared dogs, big dogs, friendly dogs, jumping dogs, sleepy dogs, small dogs, and same goes for cats! I have 4 dogs currently, and I freed them and take them out all the time, so extra dogs wouldn’t make any difference I would just do the same with them as I do with my dogs! They would have all permissions as my dogs! I will take them out, check them for tics or anything hurting them if they show it. Feed them obviously! And give them treats on certain occasions, or whenever you say I can give them. I take my time with them and love them with my whole heart! Your dog will be treated exactly how I treat mine!

“Kelly was such a relief with helping us on a last-minute boarding over the Christmas weekend. As it was our first time using rover, she was very good at calming my concerns and making sure I understood how everything would happen. She was even kind enough to send pictures while we were away. The whole experience was so much better than the typical kennel setup - not sure we’ll even think of anything but Rover and Kelly next time.”
“Cleo always enjoys her stays with Denise's family. They always follow her care instructions and take great care of her, and share plenty of photos so I can check in. Would definitely recommend this sitter and will book with them again in the future.”
“Lana and her husband took amazing care of our dog, Athena, for two weeks while we were traveling, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They’re wonderful, caring people with an awesome yard, and we felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such great hands! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We booked with Tanita and Terrence and this was our first time leaving our puppy with anyone else other than family or friends. Both Tanita and Terrence are AMAZING. Everyday they were sending us updates with pictures or videos of our dog and showing us how much fun he was having at his stay with them. He definitely loved being there and was in great care, leaving myself and my partner stress free about leaving our pup with them knowing he was being looked after by such kind and dog loving sitters ? Thank you Tanita and Terrence !!”
“Major always has the best time. Knowing he is well taken care of makes my heart happy and puts my mind at ease. I could never put into words how thankful I am to have found Lilian!”
“I’m happy that I left my dog with Yiqiuxi and Lee. She did so good with them and didn’t have any anxiety. They sent pictures and gave me updates on how she was doing every day. I will definitely use their services the next time I go away.”
“Elizabeth was an amazing sitter for my Pyrenees/Golden mix! I could tell he genuinely appreciated her company and will remember her forever now! She was very patient with him, as he struggles with stairs. Her communication was also excellent throughout. I was 1000 miles away but receiving pictures and daily updates really help assure me that Joni was having a nice time. Thanks again!!”
“Koda is doing great. Thank you for asking. I guess going to one place for 10 years and the switching up without maybe a few short visits did not work for him. Thanks again for your concern but Koda is doing great. Our baby is just that, our baby and he a big part of our family.”
“They were great! Very responsive and took care of my dog! I had a severe delay in my travel plans and they graciously allowed my dog to stay an extra night which really took a lot of stress off for me. Will absolutely use them again.”
“We really appreciate your assistance during our family emergency. It is great to know your dog is safe and well cared for. Megan comes highly recommended. Thanks again. Jerome & Family”
“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Donna is a true dog lover. It was evident to us from our meet and greet that she is familiar with dog behavior and has the temperament to deal with different types of dogs. She was very warm and loving to our dog, got to know him and cared for him accordingly. We were kept abreast of what was going on with him every day of the 10 days that we were away and felt totally comfortable with her. We will definitely board our dog with her again.”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“We are so happy we found Brian! We reached out to him after being gun-shy for a while because the fabulous sitters we previously found on DogVacay had either moved away or were unavailable. Our little girl is a bit shy, so it was really important to us to find a good fit with someone who is attentive and allows her to be as comfortable as possible. Brian was all of that and then some! His dog, Bob is super laid back and adorable and Brian and his wife were super attentive and super loving. In fact, I actually forgot to tell them that Kona's not great on hardwood stairs and when I asked Brian about it afterwards, he said he noticed her nervousness around the stairs and, without me even asking, had been carrying her up and down them! Talk about attentive and caring! We are so happy to have found Brian and we can't to use them again.”
“This was my first time using this type of service to board my senior dog, and I must say that it was a blessing to find Sarah. She cared for Princess as if she was her own. Sarah provided me with status updates and went the extra mile. Will definitely use her services in the future. Thanks Sarah! You are the best!”
“Amelia is very kind and communicative. She was able to send me updates and photos throughout the duration of my dog’s stay with her. Highly recommended and would use her services again!”
“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.”
