“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“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.”
“My furbaby had a wonderful time. He was shown lots of love and attention and I was sent daily updates and pictures of him. Thank you for caring my furbaby while we were out of town.”
“Rhys had a wonderful time with Garrett and Ana! He came back so tired but was back his normal self by this morning which is unusual. It usually takes him 2-3 days to get back to normal”
“Chelsea-Jo and her family were great to Coco. We had a great first experience with Rover. She was available last minute when our original sitter cancelled on the night we were to leave town for a Funeral. Her house was clean and her and her husband were super friendly! She updated me many times, including pictures, on how Coco was doing. From the photos, they played with her and she was happy and treated as she was one of their own. I would highly recommend using Chelsea-Jo and will definitely see if she’s available in the future when we need a sitter.”
“Seyla is the best Rover sitter possibly on the entire platform. Minnie is so well taken care of, I’m surprised she wants to come back with us! She makes so many new dog friends, and goes on the best adventures. Thank you Seyla!!”
“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!!”
“Rae took good care of Jax. She took him in after a very last minute request from me to board for a weekend and was communicative. Would recommend her for anyone needing dog care boarding.”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful with our girl Maggie. She was very accommodating and was able to take her last minute after our original dog sitter had something come up and was no longer able to watch our girl. Megan kept us updated with pictures and videos during Maggie’s stay which made us feel at ease while we were out of town. When we came and picked her up after our trip, Maggie looked like she had enjoyed her stay. Would definitely recommend Megan for anyone looking for a pet sitter. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Marcela is reliable, kind, and compassionate. Our dog is always happy to go to her house, as he’s treated like family. Thank you, Marcela, for another great boarding experience!”
“Robyn came through when I needed it! Very personable, professional and accommodating! Looking forward to establishing a long lived boarding a relationship for the very near future! ;-)”
“Carlos went above and beyond in the care and love he provided my dogs. They were regularly walked throughout the day and enjoyed their time with his dog, Sasha. He sent me many, many photos and videos showing them eating heartily, walking the sidewalks, and sleeping soundly. I highly recommend Carlod to others. You will have peace of mind.”
“Jordyn took wonderful care of our senior dog while we were away. She sent frequent updates with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog has mobility challenges and needs a little extra help, and Jordyn was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring. It was obvious she treated her with kindness and affection. Our favorite update was that she was “cuddling Mr. Wolf!” When we picked her up, she came home happy, calm, and relaxed, which is the best indication of the care she received. We would absolutely trust Jordyn with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, dependable sitter.”
“This was our dog's first stay with Jona, and a long one (three weeks). She was a great communicator, sending regular updates and photos about all activities, as well as quickly responding to our questions. Nike clearly had a great time and was returned in great shape (an odd thing to say, perhaps, but bad things can happen in this business). We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Rosalina and her family were incredibly kind and attentive to my dog. They sent me daily photos of him having a great time with her family. I’m definitely booking with her again! The service was exceptional and I highly recommend her.”
“Sabine was so wonderful! She was ultra communicative leading up to hosting Lady and throughout Lady's entire stay. Sabine sent us tons of updates and photos, which as obsessed dog parents we absolutely love!! We would 100% recommend using Sabine to care for your fur baby, we would definitely use her again when we're in the area!”

“Aliyah was a treasure. She was ready to go from booking. Blue adapted well to her and enjoyed her special cuddles!! She had great communication and was very accommodating!! We will definitely use her again!”
“Very kind and easy to work with. Even offered to help us with our move. Patty was always happy to see him and get some play time - and she’s usually a very shy cat!”
“Kaitlyn took fantastic care of my cat while I was away! I was super impressed by how she charmed my shy senior cat; he didn't let his previous sitter pet him after months of knowing her, but Kaitlyn put the time in to make him comfortable and was getting headbutts and purrs within the week. She also went out of her way to get extra litter when I didn't have any (my bad) and was ready to search out his medicated food if needed when he started to run low. Thanks so much for taking such good care of him, Kaitlyn!”
“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.”
“Hannah was exceptional. She took wonderful care of our cat while we were gone. She was easy to work with, communicated promptly and was super friendly. She also went WAY above and beyond. I left a critical item at home. She located it and overnighted it to me. I don’t know what I would have done without her.”
“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!”
“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. 🙏”
“Jessica did such a great job doing drop ins for my cat. She was great with communication and my cat immediately took to her. I’d definitely recommend her services and look forward to booking with her again in the future.”

“I have never used a service to provide care for my pets before so I was quite nervous, but Aiyana was the PERFECT cat sitter!!! She communicated to let me know when she was on her way, gave detailed notes about her visits, and exceeded my expectations far beyond what I was looking for. If I find myself needing a cat sitter again, I will not hesitate to ask Aiyana if she is available.”
“It feels like Max is part of the fam - he’s a godsend!! We’re so grateful to have found him!!! Our cat normally hides from new people, but Max knew just how to give that TLC and now they’r BFFs. Thanks Max!”

“This our first puppy and our first time being away from our sweet girl. Jesus kept us updated throughout her entire stay with messages, videos and pictures. We could tell that our little one felt so comfortable, happy and most of all well cared for.”
“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.”

“Kady was great with Thor. I appreciate her being available with a last minute request. She’s very flexible and reliable. I also appreciated the updates and pics. We’ll be back again!”
“This was the first time in 12 years I have used a dog sitter, and it will not be the last time because of Rebeca and Roman. They were very responsive from the beginning of the Rover process, and they continued throughout the four days I used their services. Rebeca greeted us every morning and afternoon with a smile. After the first day, Maple could not wait to get to Rebeca, literally jumping from my arms to her arms when we arrived at Rebeca/Roman’s home. I received a daily picture and even a video of Maple during the day. I had no concerns during the four days of daycare because of the pleasant attitude, daily photos, and Maple’s behavior before and after her time with Rebeca and Roman. Overall, a great experience. I will 100% use Rebeca and Roman again!!!”
“Vanessa and Geoffrey were so kind and professional with the initial meet and greet for doggy daycare. They sent lots of updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. This was our first in-home dog care experience, and we will definitely be back!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was about 10, so caring for them has always felt natural to me. Growing up, I helped walk, feed, and bathe the family and friends dogs, and over the years I’ve watched pets for relatives while they were on vacation, making sure they felt loved while their owners were away. Now I have two dogs of my own, Chloe and Remi, who I care for every single day. From feeding and playtime to just keeping them happy and comfortable, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work part-time about three days a week and I’m a college student, but I come home on weekends and during holidays, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pets. Even on the days I work, my shifts are usually early mornings for 4–5 hours, so I’m free for afternoon, evening, and nighttime care. My schedule can be flexible and I’m able to adjust as needed, so I’m happy to work around what your pet needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always follow their normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and respect, just like I want my own pets to be treated. My motto is “treat others how you want to be treated,” and I bring that same care and kindness to every animal I look after.

About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with over three years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as livestock. Working with a variety of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and careful observation are when it comes to providing excellent care.

Caring for animals is a daily part of my life. Every day I care for my own animals, so I am used to maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. Because animal care is already a priority in my routine, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins for clients' pets throughout the week.

When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and give plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special 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.

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.

I have a large garden, where your pet can walk and run happily, I live with a sister who loves pets, the whole house has a security camera system.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs my entire life, I also have a lot of experience handling and taking care of large breed dogs like pitbulls and dogo argentinos. I'm a college student with lots of free time and I would love to spend time with your pets and love them like mine. I can walk, feed, bathe and mostly love all kinds of dogs and cats and this is like a dream job to me. Taking care of animals will be my mainly routine since I'm on break from college. I will put all my time and care into making sure your fur babies are taken care of. I live in an apartment complex that has a dog park and my nice quiet neighborhood is walking distance from a playground and a high school track & field. I mostly do this for fun and supplemental income on my free time so I am flexible on cost and cancellation. Your pets' safety and happiness are paramount. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone.

“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“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.”
“Seyla is the best Rover sitter possibly on the entire platform. Minnie is so well taken care of, I’m surprised she wants to come back with us! She makes so many new dog friends, and goes on the best adventures. Thank you Seyla!!”
“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!!”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful with our girl Maggie. She was very accommodating and was able to take her last minute after our original dog sitter had something come up and was no longer able to watch our girl. Megan kept us updated with pictures and videos during Maggie’s stay which made us feel at ease while we were out of town. When we came and picked her up after our trip, Maggie looked like she had enjoyed her stay. Would definitely recommend Megan for anyone looking for a pet sitter. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Jordyn took wonderful care of our senior dog while we were away. She sent frequent updates with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog has mobility challenges and needs a little extra help, and Jordyn was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring. It was obvious she treated her with kindness and affection. Our favorite update was that she was “cuddling Mr. Wolf!” When we picked her up, she came home happy, calm, and relaxed, which is the best indication of the care she received. We would absolutely trust Jordyn with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, dependable sitter.”
“Rosalina and her family were incredibly kind and attentive to my dog. They sent me daily photos of him having a great time with her family. I’m definitely booking with her again! The service was exceptional and I highly recommend her.”
“Brian, did a perfect job of taking good care of our Furby! Our boy felt right at home upon coming into his house. Brian and his wife keep up well with making sure the house is clean and dog friendly. There are many doggy toys and much room for any furry friend to roam. I love how quick Brian was able to respond to our last minute dog sitting and boarding request. He kept us posted and took beautiful pictures of my dogs stay. I will most likely use Brian to watch Furby again if ever we are in the area again. Thank you Brian and family for the memorable photos of u and Furby!”
“My dog Batman had a wonderful stay with Vanessa and Geoffrey. They have a great set up and were very attentive and loving towards my dog. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be booking again in the future!”
“Excellent, loving care was provided. I greatly appreciated his regular updates via pictures and videos. Fritz always looked content or he was having the best time playing with his new doggy friends. We will most definitely be using Emmanuel again!”
“Jim takes wonderful care of my lab mix, Carmen. She likes frequent walks and Jim accommodates her. He is very responsive to my texts and stays in touch so there are no scheduling issues.”
“Highly recommend you look no further. We used her for boarding this time, and Heather was great with our dogs. She sent pictures as promised, and they always looked very happy. She followed our requests with certain treats and was comfortable with some of their extra needs. She was reasonably priced and flexible with picking up and dropping off the dogs, easing our travel with two young kids. We would happily book with her again for our next trip!”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“We highly recommend Erika! We started with a meet-and-greet, and both Wishbone and Jack warmed up to her immediately. Wishbone is usually very shy with new people, but he felt safe enough to sniff her and lick her leg right away. They just finished an overnight boarding stay at her house, and it was a wonderful experience. Erika kept her promise and sent us photo and video updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Both dogs looked completely relaxed and happy when we picked them up. We will definitely be booking Erika for boarding again”
