“Ivan took great care of our dog. He was easy to communicate with and sent us updates of how our dog was doing the whole time we were away. I would definitely recommend Ivan!”
“Taake always has an amazing time with the CARE family both in daycare and boarding. We are so glad we have a team we can trust with our pup while we’re away. We actually feel bad picking her up today because she looks like she’s having so much fun 🤩”
“Sophia is a natural with dogs! They sense it right away. My Ollie told me that he had a wonderful time hanging with the other dogs and he loved Sophia! Thank you for taking all the stress out of leaving our boy behind. Devereaux B. Raskauskas”
“My dogs get so zen with wenyan and her family. It is pretty amazing! Thank you so much for your loving care and beautiful photos :). A special kudos to you for giving them both pampering baths and nail trims. What a treat (for me)! My go-to for staycations.”
“Yumin was great with our senior dog…honey loved her dog coco…she sent lots of pictures and updates…we felt comfortable and happy that honey was enjoying herself while we were away…we will definitely use her again!❤️”
“We used to board Penny in a kennel/daycare when we went away, but we will be using Shuli from now on!! Shuli was so caring and patient with Penny and sent videos and pics every day so we could see how Penny was doing. It really helped us relax on our trip knowing Penny was being so well taken care of...... Thanks, Shuli!”
“Maria was very helpful and accommodating. She was a pleasure to work with. I was worried because this was the first time I had left my dog with someone he did not know. But, I could tell by photos and his behavior when I picked him up that he had been well cared for.”
“Pamela treated our little pup, Chip, like he was her own! Chip had a wonderful time with Pamela and Spiffy going for leash walks, playing fetch, and relaxing both inside and outside. Pamela had an emaculate”
“Robin was wonderful from start to finish with our pup. Robin is excellent at communicating -- sending us pictures and updates, and always promptly responding to our messages. Highly recommend!! Thank you Robin!”
“Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“Emily was great with Blue even though she wasn’t feeling well. This is the first time we used rover so I was really nervous leaving my dog with anyone other than the vet but I felt at ease. Emily is great at communicating and concerns and sending updates along with pics. We would def recommend Emily for your boarding needs!”
“We left Lucky, our 9-year-old shepherd-lab mix, with Christopher for a week. It was the first time we engaged Christopher. Lucky usually has some anxiety during dropoff and with men, but Christopher immediately sensed it and decided to take him for a walk before I left. I appreciated that a lot. On past occasions, the anxiety has often meant Lucky doesn't eat for 1-2 days, or has an upset stomach--none of that happened this time. We got pictures and videos every day, and Christopher was responsive throughout. We will definitely want to use his boarding services again for Lucky.”
“Ana and her family showered Mowgli with cuddles, attention and lots of walks! We received several pictures throughout the day and communication was prompt. He came back happy and tired - all signs of a great stay!”
“I can not say enough good things. Leaving my dog is always hard. Kasey completely but my mind at ease. I loved the daily updates and pictures. Kasey took excellent care of Penny. I will absolutely be booking with Kasey again.”
“Ben was a great dog sitter! We met ahead of time to make sure my dog would be a good fit. I saw his fenced yard and my dog was able to get used to the new smells. While I was away, Ben sent lots of pictures of my dog and gave me updates on how he was doing. Overall it was very easy and I'd definitely use him again!”
“Another wonderful stay with Sarah! She was welcoming of our pup Suly, and I could tell he arrived home very content after a few days with you. Thank you so much, we'll be booking again with you :)”
“I've been looking for the right boarding place for our dear, energetic, highly social Sheepadoodle, Mia, for a few years. Found it!! Love the outdoor setup, not crazily over-run by tons of dogs at one time, and truly a fun-loving and caring environment for our sweet pup. This is our go-to place from now on! 😀”

“Xin was prompt and professional. She took fantastic photos of both of our cats. She managed to befriend both of them, even our older cat who is quite unfriendly. Highly recommended!”
“Gracie is very attentive and took great care of our two kitties. We got pictures every visit. One of our automated feeders failed while we were away and it was really easy to communicate with Gracie by message on the fly to solve the issue. Will definitely be leaving our kitties in her hands in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover for pet sitting and we felt like we struck gold in finding Emi! Like many pet owners, it is a big deal to trust our fur babies with someone and we felt Emi took such amazing care of them. We needed someone within the week and Emi responded to our initial request very quickly. Emi was on-time for each visit and shared pictures and sweet updates at each visit. One of our cats is quite social and we could tell from the pictures how much she enjoyed Emi’s attention! Our other cat often hides although she came out and Emi managed to get a picture of her as well! (Some of our family and friends have never seen this cat, so that’s a big accomplishment!). We definitely recommend Emi and will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Catherine cared for our senior cat recently. She did an excellent job providing daily updates and pics. We appreciate all her updates while we're away. Thank you!!”
“Once again Sharon did a stellar job providing prompt communication and obviously taking very good care of my two cats while I was away. I was happy to receive notifications of her visits and of course pictures! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services for future needs.”
“This was the second time we booked Rae. She is very responsive and took good care of our kitties. They obviously love to see her. Has fantastic photo update skills. Can’t recommend Rae enough!”
“William and Andrea were amazing. They took great care of our cat and birds. We were skeptical about how our shy cat, Melanie, would handle a stranger. She typically doesn't trust anyone but our family, and we thought she'd just hide the whole time. Our hope was that she would at least get fresh food and water daily. We were pleasantly surprised. Melanie didn't hide at all; instead she greeted William and Andrea at the door. She even purred while getting her daily brushing! William and Andrea sent daily pictures, which showed us how happy our pets were with them—and that made us happy, too. Our birds were also treated very well. William and Andrea sent us daily pictures of how the birds were cleaned, fed, and tended to, which gave us peace of mind all around. While we were out of town, we felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were in great hands.”
“Cathy has been wonderful taking care of our feline children. Cathy even administered insulin injections to our diabetic cat! Wow! Great service! She was always on time and did exactly what was needed to follow the complexities of caring for a diabetic pet.”
“Yuandi took great care of my cats and left my place clean upon my return. She provided detailed updates and quick responses. Looking forward to having Yuando cat-sit again!”
“Thank you Melissa for the wonderful care you provided for Walter and Nellie while I was away. Knowing that they were in such loving hands made my trip so much more enjoyable. Your regular updates and photos were great and truly put my mind at ease. I could see how happy and comfortable Walter was with you, which means the world to me. I appreciate your dedication and the extra attention you gave to ensure they felt loved and cared for. Thank you once again for being such an amazing cat sitter.”
“Marianna was an absolute angel. Not only did she take on my booking super last-minute (seriously, a life saver!!), but she gave my fur babies all the love and attention that they could ask for! My Ariel is a diabetic, and Marianna was able to administer her injections with zero issues, keeping my sweet girl happy and healthy while we were away. 💚 She even managed to befriend my VERY shy boy Rugen, in very little time! Honestly, a magical feat by itself. On behalf of my both kitties and myself, we highly recommend Marianna as a sitter. 10/10 would definitely book with her again! 🐱😻”
“Julianna was really easy to communicate with and we so appreciated her daily updates and photos. We have a shy senior kitty but it seemed she warmed up to Julianna towards the end which was a huge relief to us.”
“Ashley is so good with our cats and writes the best summaries! Her notes make me laugh and truly show how she knows and cares for our pets. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Nicole has been our pet sitter on multiple occasions - my cats look forward to her visits and greet her at the door! I am always sad to leave them behind but knowing that Nicole will be by to take care of them always alleviates the anxiety. She is excellent at communicating, always sends me the cutest pictures of my fur babies and goes above and beyond while she's here. I would highly recommend Nicole - she really takes care of your pets like they're her own - look no further!”
“Krystian provided great care of our super senior cat, ensuring that she got her medications daily (this from a very finicky feline!). I would recommend Krystian without reservation.”

“We loved Ming, Sasha and his team from the first second we met! Their home is completely geared for our beloved pups to have a "home away from home" experience. Today was Wynnstan's first day. Ming sent pictures throughout the day showing how much fun Wynn was having! This gave us so much joy to confidently know our pup is being taken care of so we can go about our day in peace. Thank You Ming and the CARE Family! We/Wynnstan can't wait for his next stay.”
“Israel took such great care of my puppy! They sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. They kept me informed about how he was doing, responded quickly to my messages, and were incredibly friendly. It was clear that my puppy was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Israel again and highly recommend them!”
“My dog Nala loves Gracie! She’s usually picky about who she warms up to but she loved Gracie immediately. Gracie sent lots of updates and is super communicative. Glad to have found a great sitter for my pup and look forward to booking with Gracie again :)”
About: I've been caring for my 4 cats on a daily basis for a decade. In addition, I dog sit overnight for my partner every couple of weeks. I work from home, so leaving in the middle of the day is rather simple. In fact it's a nice change of scenery to get outside and be with a cute animal 🥰 I unfortunately can't care for pets in my home as my cats run the joint. But I love meeting new animals, playing with them, and getting out!
“Joe came home happy and exhausted (in a good way!) from his daycare stay. Josh and Andres communicated often and were responsive throughout Joe’s stay. We’re so glad to find trustworthy people so close to our home to look after Joe. Highly recommended.”
“I feel very comfortable leaving my dog Gigi with Sofia, knowing she’ll be cared for and all receive lots of enrichment with walks, time in the backyard, and the opportunity to be around other dogs.”
“Sriju is a wonderful person. She gives fantastic care to my dog when Daisy stays on Wednesdays. I'm very happy to have found Sriju. I know my dog will be well cared for when I'm at work. 🐶🤗”
“Our first daycare visit with Yi was wonderful! She is very gentle and loving towards the pups spending the day. You can tell she is really thoughtful, takes the time to understand your pet, and sends cute updates throughout the day. Our pup had a great day and looks forward to his next visit with his new friends!”
“I am so happy that I found this daycare for my tiny pup! The at-home approach makes me feel so much more comfortable (and less guilty) than the typical daycare/boarding options offered in the area where all the dogs are in one room without their comfy bed or toys. Everyone who works at the daycare is friendly and my pup is truly excited when we pull up for drop-off. Definitely a hidden little gem!”
“My dog can be fear reactive when meeting new people but this was not the case at our meet and greet with Joann - Hazel was very comfortable with her, and even put her paws on Joann in a manner that suggested to me she really liked her. When I dropped her off for day care I watched as Hazel sidled over to her and stayed calmly at her side as I departed. Joann’s home is spacious and clean, and her fenced in backyard is a great feature. Hazel seemed to truly enjoy her time with Joann and we will certainly return for future care needs.”
“This was Lucy’s first visit with Pam and Spiffy and we will definitely be back! Pam is very caring with a lovely home and yard. Spiffy is an adorable and welcoming host.”
“Bandit had a blast today spending the day with Nicole, playing with her dog Bobby and another neighborhood dog Lychee. He enjoyed the view from her place, had lots of play time but also cuddle time on the couch! Nicole sent regular updates with pictures and videos. I will definitely book her again!”
“Mei regularly cares for my older dog Bear and she does a fantastic job. She takes him on walks and I feel confident that he will have a wonderful day in her care. I highly recommend Mei!”
“I worked with Huan for doggy day care while I was away for the day. She was very kind from the start and very responsive to messages and communication. I really appreciate how welcoming she was to both myself and my dog. She ensured that I was comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and made sure to understand any needs for my pup and any concerns I might have had. Was a great experience and I will definitely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter!”

“Nicole walks our dog daily and we fully recommend her for anyone's pet care needs! Our dog is greatly improving on the leash after his daily walks with Nicole and is so at ease when she is around. Nicole is responsive, on time, and, most importantly, great with our dog.”
“I highly recommend Mark. He is punctual and super easy to work with, and very professional. He also gives me a summary of how the walks went and take pics. My dog loves to take walks with him, when my dog sees him, he is so happy, maybe even happier that if my dog sees me, that says a lot!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up around a lot of dogs and cats. I hope neighbors and friends. Schedule I work Monday through Thursday from 7 AM to 4 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m generally available and have a flexible schedule for pet sitting. My husband is also able to help when needed, especially during my work hours. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and provide reliable, loving care. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s space. I’ll follow all instructions you provide and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay.
“Our dogs love Helena! She is very kind, caring, and punctual. Our dogs loves Helena’s warm personality and they greet her with lots of love. Our little cavapoo Whitney is typically fearful and a little anxious at times. Whitney has quickly warmed up to Helena and not as anxious doing the transfer of leash at the door. Thank you so much Helena for your love, care and patience you give our fur babies.”
“Jeffrey was fantastic! He did a great job with Bella. Super friendly, very kind and wonderful with Bella. He did a great job walking and working with her that she fell right to sleep.”
“Denisse is very kind and responsible!! She visited my house mid-day for several days to take my two dogs for a walk and let them play in the yard while I had long days out of the house. Everything with the booking went as planned and the pictures were great!! I highly recommend Denisse for your pet sitting needs!”
“Melissa was amazing!! She was great at following specific instructions and handled the responsibility well. She was super attentive to make sure my pup did not eat or chew on anything he wasn’t supposed to and she constantly sent us updates and pictures. She is very trustworthy and we will definitely book her again!”
“Julia did a great job with Oakley! She took for a nice long walks and he seemed super happy in the pictures she shared. She had good communication and I would definitely used her again.”
About: I only found about my love for dogs when I decided to get a dog a few years ago. My experience includes raising a chow chow puppy into a member of dog society by individual and dog park playtime, walks outside, administering medication, and enforced chill time as necessary. I know how anxiety inducing leaving your pets when you're away, so I will treat you the way I would like to be treated with many photo / video updates! I love all dogs, big or small, outgoing or shy! If your dog is socialized enough for a trip to PetSmart or marshalls, could do that too! I work full time from home without many meetings which gives me the flexibility I want to walk dogs or drop by a for visits. I can work with whatever equipment your dog is used to - collars and harnesses. If your dog has a schedule, I will follow it so they don't feel out of their routine.
“Suyenti was nothing short of amazing. She stepped in last minute for me when another sitter was not working out, and took amazing care of my dog. It was nice to be able to enjoy my trip without having to worry.”
“Shreejaya is incredibly kind and helpful with walking our dog and checking in on our cat. She is just the best and we really appreciate her! Highly recommend if you’re looking for pet sitting, dog walking, etc.”
“David was awesome! He was able to walk Prince last minute for me, the day of, and I know that wasn’t the ideal circumstance but David is definitely a pro! He was on time, walked Prince for the amount of time and followed all instructions. He is great & we will definitely be booking again!”
“Malek is a dog whisperer! He was wonderful with our Australian shepherd puppy - who has a lot of energy and love to give! Malek took her on some great walks, and she was actually tired after! Thank you so much, Malek!”
About: I have been an active pet caretaker for over 25 years. I have worked with dogs young and old (currently have 2 senior dogs) and sizes from small to large (12-80 lbs). I enjoy getting to meet and befriend dogs of all kinds. I make my own schedule, so visiting your dog(s) is a flexible option. Looking forward to helping pet parents know their pup is safe and happy. My main thought is to dog safety. A safe dog is a happy one. We'll enjoy walks and visits that meet your dog's energy levels and specific needs. Expect photos from our time and updates on happenings.
“Kenneth is the absolute best. Bandito is always so so excited to see him. He takes Bandito on long walks and is always so good at updating us on how he is doing. We can always count on him!”

Although Shiba is quite stubborn and it was first time Iwona met Shiba. Iwona showed great patient to accompany Lucky. Thanks so much and appreciate ! I know that Lucky likes Iwona and her place, I will choose her service again in the future.”
