“This is the longest I've ever left Mia and I did not want to board her at a kennel for 12 nights. Lan kept me updated with pictures and videos that made me relax and enjoy my vacation more knowing she was well taken care of and had a buddy to play with too. Thanks Lan!”
“Remy and Kevin were so thoughtful with our two dogs. We could tell our anxious dog was very comfortable and cared for. They took the time to make sure they got the attention they needed and had a great time playing in the backyard. Will definitely be using them in the future!”
“Robert and his wife took excellent care of our dog Jasper over a long weekend. He sent daily updates, which was very appreciated. I can tell that Jasper settled in and felt comfortable there, and he came home relaxed and happy. Thanks!”
“David and Nicole are wonderful! Our pup loved her time with them. She came home feeling loved and happy! What a relief to leave her with such loving and capable hosts! We look forward to her spending time with them for future stays!”
“My meet and greet with Betsy was warm and inviting . She made me feel at ease with leaving my three dogs with her. It’s my first time using rover and didn’t know what to expect, but I can sense Betsy is passionate about caring for pets/animals. Communication was smooth and Betsy was prompt to respond each time. I’m thankful Betsey was able to take all three dogs, she updated me routinely with pictures of the activities they did for the day. I would for sure reach out to Betsy again. The dogs enjoyed their stay and had plenty of exercise, stimulation, cuddles and attention. I know my dogs would love to return again. Thank you Betsy and Mark!”
“Bethany took awesome care of my dog! My dog is a very anxious guy and it really eased my own anxiety to know that he was with someone who could handle his quirks.”
“This was my first Rover experience and Bishop ended up getting hurt before his stay which led to several last minute medication and cone wearing requirements, but Debbie was totally accommodating and took amazing care of him!! Great photos and updates and she knows dogs really well! Highly recommend!!!”
“My dog Charlie had a great time with Doc and Heather. They provided daily updates about how he was doing with pictures included. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Charlie was in good hands. He must have had a good time because he came back happy and tired.”
“Dave was absolutely great with our dog and fabulous to work with! When we picked her up, we could tell she was in good hands and she really liked him. We will definitely book with Dave again!”

“Excellent experience. My dog came home happy and exhausted. Exactly what I wanted. Received many photos too. Appreciated those a great deal. Thank you Susie and Matt.”
“Lisa was incredibly communicative and took great care of our dog. We were on vacation for two weeks and she sent updates and photos all through our trip so we had zero concerns while we were away. We highly recommend Lisa and would use her again in a heartbeat.”
“Mckenzie did such a great job watching our dog for the night. She was very communicative and wonderful with Fletcher. Her convenient location and love for pets will have us reaching out again.”
“Samantha was very responsive and flexible with my travel schedule. She sent me pictures and updates everyday about my two pups. It felt good knowing they were in safe hands and being well taken care of. My one dog has an autoimmune disease and she was able to accommodate his needs and keep him in a low stress environment. Would definitely use her again!”

“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”

“Thor was an excellent in-home catsitter for our cat Sarafina from start to finish. Very proactive about learning our cat's preferences and routines, sent pics and updates, and left things in meticulous condition. Highly recommend.”
“Brenna took amazing care of my two kittens. She was timely, organized, and communicated perfectly. I was hesitant to go through a website for pet care but she exceeded my expectations with updates at every check in and even vacuuming my litter up! (Which she did not need to do) My cats were happy and healthy when I came back which is all I needed. I will be reaching out for any other sitting needs. Thank you Brenna!”
“Julie was great. She sent wonderful pictures and updates about my cat, that put me at ease. She even went above and beyond by washing a blanket that one of the cats got sick on. Would gladly have her drop in on our cats again!”
“I booked Danielle for a daily check-in with my two cats while I was on a trip. She sent pics of them every day and obviously they love her very much! I would definitely rebook with Danielle in the future!”
“Jill exceeded all my expectations. She was thoughtful, communicative, and prompt. She asked insightful questions during our meet and greet and was incredibly kind and friendly to our cat and our family. She went above and beyond and I would be thrilled to recommend her and will be returning to her again in the future. A+ and five stars!”
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
“Jennifer did a great job with my cat! She gave Oatmeal plenty of time and affection, and sent me pictures of her surgical stitches to allay any fears I had.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brooke. My husband and I went overseas and I was very concerned about leaving our kitties with someone that they did not know. Brooke stepped in and took fantastic care of them. She was with them often played with them, took lots of photos and videos of them and they really fell in love with her. I will always use Brooke going forward and never be worried about leaving again. Thanks so much Brooke. You’re awesome.”
“It is a relief to have found someone trustworthy to care for my pets while my family is away from home. Jacqueline cared for and watched over my pets and home and did a great job. I would definitely book her again.”
“Abigail was great with my cat Pinecone! She took the time to find him and play with him during every visit. I get nervous about leaving him for longer trips, but I felt so confident in Abigail’s ability to provide amazing care for him!”
“Julia did a wonderful job with my cats Lucy and Lola. I felt very secure knowing she was taking care of them. Julia was professional, communicative, and very kind. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Allison was great. She was very attentive to my cat and she was very understanding of the needs of a senior cat. I got regular updates and pictures and Allison put my cat, and me, very much at ease.”
“Macy was awesome. My usually shy cats warmed up to her and she sent pictures every day. Their food and water were full when I got home. She even brought my mail and an Amazon package in for me. Would definitely hire again. Thanks, Macy!!”
“Heather was super friendly and helpful. She took great care of Goldie and communicated regularly with helpful updates. It sounds like she liked playing with Heather’s cat, but her dog was a bit too rambunctious for Goldie. She had a great time!”

“Tofte is always so happy to get to Bethany's. Sometimes he isn't sure if he is ready to leave at the end of the day which is a great sign. On nice days like today, spending time exploring and playing in Bethany's fenced in back yard is a treat!”
“Scooter the Sun God!! I hope you can eventually get him into the pool- but he won’t do it for us! He loves the hot sun! Emily, you are awesome with Scooter! He gets home & hes exhausted from FUN for at least 36 hours! He loves to see you, Arlo, Flynn & his BFFF! Thank you for making his visit fun! I highly recommend Emily’s daycare! The best!”
“As always, my dog had an amazing time with Kara and Adam! They are so sweet and she always is exhausted when she gets back to me. Her kids are so kind to Jovi and I always look forward to seeing all the pictures Kara and Adam take! Thanks again!”
“We met Takenya for doggie daycare, and our dog had a wonderful day! Takenya LOVES dogs and it shows. Remy immediately took to her and the several photos and videos she sent showed how comfortable he was in her home and with her. He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!”
“Kendra and her headband were great! They shared photos, had good communication and were flexible for a last minute sit. Atlas looked like he had a great time. We will definitely use them again!”
“Snow had a good time over at their place, I was going to be busy with work for the whole day and I found them available the day before. They sent pictures of her during her stay as well. Overall, Snow's satisfied so I am too.”
“Our two dogs had a wonderful first day at Topsy's. They were both happy and relaxed when I picked them up and brought them home. Topsy communicated throughout the day and sent cute pics of our dogs which is always appreciated but especially when it is the first time. Our kids tease us and say our dogs are our favorite children, and they are not far from the truth! So it always makes us feel good to find someone who likes and cares for our dogs. We will definitely bring our them to Topsy's again!”
“Our Aussie/Border collie had a delightful time at doggy daycare every day for a week. Jessica and her husband were very communicative, prompt and sent photos. They were patient working through our dog's anxiety on the second day (when he realized this was not just a one-off play date), and he ended up happy and comfortable the rest of the week, playing all day with their resident dog and another friend. We'd recommend them as excellent dogsitters and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”
“Higgins had a great day with Noelle! Higgins is a bit shy initially, but she was kind and gentle with him. He quickly warmed up to her. We will look forward to seeing her again. Noelle is a great dog sitter!”
“My fearful dog has become comfortable very quickly with Emily. She doesn’t usually like strangers but Emily understands and doesn’t try to push her. I’m glad we found a good match for day care.”
“This is is the first time I’ve left my dog with a Rover for day care. Kira does a great job with sending pics so you know your dog is doing great. When I picked my girl up she even walked back to Kira as though she wanted to stay haha. I’ll definitely use Kira again.”
About: I have had my own dogs (and cats, chickens, bunnies, etc!) my whole life. I have also been relied on by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for their fur babies while traveling. My husband and I also foster dogs through various local rescues! I work from home and my partner has a flexible schedule. Usually, we are both home and able to provide 24/7 care for the animals we board! I have a very large fenced yard with two dog pools for hot summer days. Our chickens stay in a separate enclosed area. My home offers multiple rooms and, due to the fact that we often foster, we have several kennels and other “safe space” areas if your fur baby feels safer hanging out or sleeping separately from the rest of the pack. Although, we are a household that encourages pets to curl up on the furniture! We have 3 dogs- a collie/Aussie mix, yellow lab, and husky. All are friendly, up to date on vaccines, and love other dogs! Lastly, we are a cat friendly home but do have separate spaces available if separation from them is best.
“Howie and Betsy were convenient, accommodating and flexible with my work schedules. They clearly love dogs and my baby boy was always happy to get out of the car and rush in to their home! Thank you.”

About: Hi! I’m Scarlett, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Some of my favorite memories growing up involve dogs curled up next to me on the couch, playing outside until they were completely worn out, or spending quiet evenings with my cat in my lap. Caring for animals has never felt like a chore to me—it’s something I genuinely love. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Right now I have a service dog who has taught me so much about patience and understanding anxious pets. Because she needs extra reassurance, I’ve learned to pay attention to body language, build trust at each dog’s pace, and create an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I also have a 10-year-old cat that I’ve raised since she was young. When she started having trouble using her litter box, I didn’t give up or get frustrated. I spent time researching, changing her routine, and working with her until she was confidently using it again. Experiences like that have taught me that every pet communicates differently, and sometimes they just need someone willing to slow down and understand them. I’m especially comfortable caring for pets with medical needs. I’ve given insulin injections to my younger brother with Type 1 diabetes as well as a close friend’s diabetic dog, so needles and strict medication schedules don’t intimidate me. I’ve also administered eye drops, ear medication, and oral medications to my own dogs, including caring for one of my dogs while he struggled with painful eye conditions that required daily treatment. Since I’m studying nursing, being calm, detail-oriented, and following medical routines accurately is something that comes naturally to me. I’m also an active person. I love being outside, going on walks, running, and staying busy, so energetic dogs are honestly my favorite. Whether your dog loves long walks, games of fetch, or simply needs someone who can match their energy, I’m always excited to join them. At the same time, I’m just as happy spending a quiet afternoon keeping an older dog company or giving extra attention to a shy pet that needs a little more patience. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve cared for snakes, fish, and plenty of plants (my room is basically a tiny jungle), so taking care of living things has always been a big part of who I am. Friends and family know me as the person who notices the little things—whether it’s a change in appetite, energy, or behavior—because I truly pay attention. When your pet is with me, my goal isn’t just to feed them and let them outside. I want them to feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’ll treat them with the same patience, love, and attention that I give my own pets, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my schedule! Right now, I’m available full time as I prepare to move to college. I always make sure every pet gets plenty of love, exercise, attention, and one-on-one care. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and safe as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine. Whether that means following a medication schedule, taking a favorite walking route, or giving them extra cuddles before bed, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel at home. I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable administering medications, including pills, eye drops, ear medications, and insulin injections when needed. I’ll always pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I’ll let you know right away if I notice anything unusual. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I’ll keep everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love while you’re away.
“Katie has been a dream to work with and our Danes love when she comes to visit. She’s timely, attentive, and dog savvy. I don’t always trust just anyone with our dogs, but absolutely do with Katie. Highly recommend and appreciate the help she’s provided to us consistently over the last year.”
“Tilia did a great job with our pups. She was very kind and generous with her time and made it super easy for me as the owner. I barely noticed her coming and going but I know the dogs got some good exercise in. I appreciate her flexibility with splitting the walk between our older and younger pup who walk at very different paces.”
“Rob was filling in while our other dog walker was on vacation for two weeks. I highly recommend Rob! He’s like a dog whisperer :-). Very intuitive, patient, flexible, timely, and an excellent communicator. Charlotte enjoyed her walks with him. He truly will be missed.”
“Tony takes such good care of my girl when I’m working long days. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s getting loved on and lots of playtime, and she recognizes Tony’s name with a pitty smile and thumping tail.”
“Robert is absolutely amazing! It has made a huge difference in me and my dogs lives and training. I am super busy, but he is great with working around my schedule and leaving detailed reviews/updates for me to review later. I have a hard time trusting people with my baby but his incredible growth has helped me immensely.”
“Jackie is absolutely the best! She took Siggy on nice long walks, kept us informed of little things. She's been our caretaker now twice and we have had zero problems. We hope she's available every time we need her in the future.”
“Great dog walker! One of my dogs is very anxious around strangers and Hisham handled that really well. Timely communication, punctual, and positive & calm with the dogs. I will absolutely be recommending him to others.”
“Kiirsten was absolutely amazing with our process! She was kind, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and love. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Annie is fantastic! Our dog gets really excited when she sees Annie come to take her on a walk. Annie is a great communicator with us too. I highly recommend her to walk your furry loved one.”
About: Ever since I can remember I've always had a dog in my house, all different kinds. My own, and some of my parents fostered or took in temporarily from friends. I'm ready to walk, run, play, or nap with your pupper or kitty! Some of my favorite things are walks, fetch with a ball, and blowing bubbles. I have a dog named Wheezer and a cat named Titan. I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members, thank you so much for your consideration! I am currently self employed in theatre (in the process of creating my own company) and have lots of spare time, especially during the day, to help take care of your pets! I have a high functioning car, and am ready to travel to you and your pet and/or being them to their favorite park! I live in an apartment, so my current favorite way to help out is to come to you and your furry friend!
“Kelsey was great! Super prompt and effective communication. Took Daisy for a bunch of nice, long walks and did so on short notice. Would definitely recommend!”
“Isabella was reliable, punctual, and communicative. Isabella sent reports and photos daily. Luna was excited to walk with her every day and came home weel exercised,ready to rest!”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid. In middle school, I began taking care of family & friends’ dogs. I love spending quality time with dogs, getting to know their unique personalities, and honoring their needs. I am also an experienced dog groomer who values building a bond of trust with pets and their families. I am a full-time student from September-May. I work part-time during the summer, so I generally have more time to spend with your pet throughout the week. I play organ and sing at various churches every weekend, which occupies my Saturday evenings & Sunday mornings. I also practice music every weekday morning. My home does not allow for pets, so I will be happy to stay in your home and take care of your dog in the environment they know best.
