“Dana cared for my dog like she was her own while I was away, which meant everything to me. I truly appreciated the level of attention and love she provided - it gave me complete peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, and it was so reassuring to see my dog happily playing ball in the backyard and curled up on the couch.”
“Tawni took very good care of our Daisy and kept in touch throughout her stay. I felt comfortable and confident that our Daisy was in good hands and appreciative Tawni being available each time I reached out to her”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dog just turned one and we had boarded her at a commercial facility and a home atmosphere appealed to us as an alternative so we tried it out. Alyssa and Spencer are fantastic. We met with them beforehand just to ease our concerns and the weekend went so well that we rebooked for two more trips this summer. We highly recommend them!”
“From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cheryl is the best! Our pup is so happy there. She keeps us updated while we are away but his excitement when he arrives at her house is the tell tale sign of his happiness.”
“Peggy took amazingly great care of Amigo. Gave him special treats like a yogurt board and other puzzles. He loved many playful mornings in her great back yard with Peggy’s dog, Barklee! Her true love of dogs is apparent! Can’t think of enough great things to say! Book her with complete confidence!”
“This was our second booking with Jeannette. This time, it was for 2 weeks. We had many reservations about taking a 2 week vacation out of the country without our puppy Archie, but Jeannette made us feel at ease. She was in regular contact & sent us daily updates which allowed us some comfort in knowing Archie was in great care. We've been home now for a couple days & Archie did not skip a beat.. he maintains his regular routines & schedule. Thank you so much Jeannette!!”
“We were in a pinch for a dog sitter and were so lucky to have found Kayla and her family. Our 10 month old lab is a hand full and they were wonderful with him. We had pictures and updates every day and didn't worry about him for a moment. We feel like Riley now has a second family to go to instead of boarding. We are truly grateful!”
“Stephanie was great! She was very accommodating to the quick request for Sailor to stay. Sailor had a great time playing with her dog Nico and is going to sleep hard after the stay. Stephanie also sent several updates on how he was doing with photos included.”
“Cinthya took care of my dog Pumpkin for a weekend and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent pictures! My dog loved it and looked very happy and well taken care of! Will definitely book again”
“Haley, took such good care of Eddie! Even let him eat where he was comfortable. Lol spoiling and lots of cuddles is an understatement. For our first time it was seamless and I wouldn't hesitate to have her watch him again.”
“Judith took amazing care of our Lava! We have now trusted Judith with our pup twice (once for a week when we were on vacation). If you are looking for a place that your pup can enjoy plenty of fenced in outdoor space with shade, other friendly dogs to play with, and caring caretakers—look no further!”
“We were extremely pleased with Monica taking care of Walter. She did a wonderful job, and had no concerns the whole time we were gone. I would definately recommend her and would use her in the future.”
“Hunter takes great care of our Roxie! She always comes home very happy. Hunter is reliable and keeps us updated. We also love the adorable pictures she sends of our girl.”
“This is the first time I have used a service for my dogs and Tatiana was amazing. My babies were so happy being in her home...I will definitely use her services again...”
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful! Immediately from the meet & greet I knew Cora was in great hands. She was extremely responsive and then had such a warm energy the minute we met her. Deborah had everything we needed for the stay including a crate, toys and a dog bed! Cora had a great time in her yard. Deb also did a wonderful job with some thunderstorm anxiety and making sure Cora was as comfortable as possible. I will absolutely look to book with her again! Thanks so much for all the love and care you gave Cora!!”
“Linda was great! Bear stayed with her over the holiday and had a great time. He came home happy, I got lots of communication and photos throughout the week, and he had a friend to play with!”
“Gabriella did great with my dog! She noticed he wasn't eating all his dog food and asked if she could supplement it with some dog-friendly broth. He loved it so much, he would eat his food in a minute or two. I am grateful to her for taking such great care of him!!”
“My first time using Rover and I was able to book a stay with Hope. She was very sweet and made sure to check in with my pictures and videos. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much!”

“We've had Joann take care of our pets several times now. She feels like family at this point! We're so happy to have her care for our pets! She does a great job and with such care!”
“Elizabeth is so great with Miss Rosemary always! My sweet girl enjoys the drop in visits. I feel so at ease knowing Elizabeth will be checking on her making sure all is well when I am away!”
“Very nice rover, kitties were very comfortable with her. She was always on time and communicative, took great care of our babies and sent lots of pictures which we appreciated! I would recommend and book again!”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using her services and we were very pleased. She kept us updated at every visit. It's always hard to leave your pets but it makes it so much better when you have someone that you can trust to look after them for a few days. We will be using Chelsea again for sure!”
“We are SO appreciative of Max! He is quick to communicate and sends great updates. We recently went out of the country and I was pretty nervous about our cats — knowing Max was taking care of them really eased my mind (he handled cat house accidents, mail, and some other random/special pet requests which I so appreciated). We’ll continue to book him as much as he’s available! Thanks, Max!”
“Mackenzie is a cat whisperer! I have a shy, elderly cat that has never let a petsitter pet her (even regular petsitters). However, Mackenzie was able to bond with my cat from the first time watching her and was able to give my cat lots of pets. I loved seeing videos of Mackenzie and Maddie's pet sessions. Mackenzie was thorough in learning about how to take care of Maddie and what to know about the house. She's a great communicator. I highly recommend!”
“Sarah was the perfect drop in cat sitter! She communicates very well and easily understood all provided instructions and did an amazing job! Will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Michaela is one of the best Rover’s I have ever had. She is so genuine, responsive, attentive, understanding, etc!!!! I have unfortunately had to cancel last minute and she never seems upset or bothered by the circumstances. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Michaela for being so sweet to our fur babies!!!”
“Minh always does amazing!! She’s watched our pack time and time again and each time goes the extra mile to make sure they’re taken care of!! Thank you so much!!”
“Kelsey was outstanding with catsitting. Dropped in on time, communicated well and took lots of lovely pictures. She was a huge help and would definitely recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was born. Friends and family have all relied on me to take care of their furry babies. I am also a current volunteer for the No-Kill Cat Collective program which rehomes cats with happy and loving families.
About: I have 8 months of professional experience working as a Resort Associate at Pet Paradise, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels in both playgroup and boarding environments. My responsibilities included supervising group play, monitoring behavior and health, administering basic care, cleaning and sanitizing spaces, and ensuring every dog felt safe and comfortable during their stay. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a dedicated dog owner. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with special health needs, including managing allergies and other medical conditions. This has made me very attentive to detail, comfortable following specific feeding instructions, and confident in recognizing changes in behavior or health. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I am currently a university student with classes on Mondays and Wednesdays after 3:00 PM. I am fully available mornings and early afternoons on those days, and I have open availability at all times on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate early morning, midday, evening, and last-minute requests whenever possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or providing walks and drop-in visits, my priority is safety, routine, and comfort. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and household guidelines exactly as provided. I make sure fresh water is always available, food portions are measured accurately, and any special dietary or allergy needs are strictly respected. I am very attentive to behavioral changes and health cues, especially because I have personal experience caring for dogs with medical conditions and allergies. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, avoid high-traffic areas when possible, and adjust pace based on the dog’s energy level and physical needs. After walks, I always check paws, ensure they are comfortable, and leave the home clean and secure. My professional experience as a Resort Associate at Pet Paradise has trained me to monitor group behavior, recognize stress signals, and maintain clean, sanitized environments. I bring that same level of attentiveness and professionalism into every home I enter. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of affection.
“Rachel was wonderful with our sweet boy! She was very flexible and moved around her schedule to fit in visits with our kitty while we were away for a few days. She gave us updates and pictures each day, and we could tell Cas loved hanging out with her!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Alyssia! She stayed overnight in our home for a week while we were on vacation in the OBX and took fantastic care of our three cats. She sent daily updates with funny photos and videos that gave us total peace of mind (and some good laughs). Alyssia also took excellent care of our home—bringing in the mail and packages, taking out the trash, and cleaning up after herself. Everything was spotless when we returned. Most importantly, our cats were calm, happy, and well-fed. In the past, they’ve seemed stressed or even lost weight while we were away, but not this time. They warmed up to her quickly! We’ve already rebooked her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you, Alyssia!”
“I procrastinated and needed a last minute a pet sitter for my cat during the holidays. Annemarie was really accommodating to my needs on such a short notice, willing to even do a meet and greet on the day of booking since I had to leave the next day. Overall, Annemarie is a wonderful and trustworthy person who will send update pictures and videos of your four-legged best friend while following the notes you left to a T. Definitely recommend.”

“Oive's first time daycare with Dana and we both give two thumbs up! Dana and her sweet Bailey were a pleasure to meet, and I knew right away that I was leaving my girl in good caring hands. Pictures and updates and more pictures and updates were very much appreciated. Thank you Dana, Olive is looking forward to her next visit!”
“Georgia has been enjoying spending two days a week at Alyssa and Spencer’s while her mom works. Alyssa and Spencer are great with Georgia and make her feel right at home from the moment she gets inside. We are so grateful to have found this wonderful alternative to larger doggy day cares for Georgia. Georgia doesn’t give too many details on all that she does while she is at Alyssa and Spencer’s, but on the mornings we go to their house, she can’t wait to get in the car and get there.”
“I had a great experience with LeNai. She was thorough during the intake, giving me a full tour and taking the time to get to know my dogs and their individual quirks. Rocko can be an anxious dog, but she took it in stride and was very patient with him. She gradually introduced him to other dogs safely and calmly, and was able to pick up on behavioral cues very well. She sent many photos and videos throughout the day to let me know they were doing well. I will most definitely use her services again.”
“Brittany was a great sitter for Thor & Lucy. She communicated well & responded quickly. She also sent pictures of them which we greatly appreciated! We would recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a reliable sitter for their fur baby!”
“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”
About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. As a newly retired person, I have plenty of time to give your furry friend(s) all the love, walks, and attention they need and deserve. Whether in my home or a clients, I provide a comfortable environment with meals, walks, playtime and companionship. I follow their routines as instructed to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them. Dogs have always been a big part of my family, and they honestly come second only to my son in my heart. I’m currently the proud dog mom of two sweet pups, a Maltipoo and a Cairn Terrier mix, who love meeting new dog friends and having playtime. Because I’m already used to the daily routine of walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of cuddles, caring for dogs comes very naturally to me. I offer a safe, loving environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some company during the day, or a cozy place to stay, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work remotely from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to take regular walk breaks, provide playtime, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. My home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly. During the day, my two dogs free roam the house. They love lounging on the couch, looking out the window, or hanging out in my office while I work. They’re friendly and used to having a relaxed routine with lots of love and supervision. At night, my dogs sleep safely in their crates as part of their routine. I’m comfortable following whatever sleeping arrangements your dog is used to so they feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me.
About: Provided pet care by profession for 8 years, caring for pets by passion for my whole life! I’ve grown up with dogs & cats in our house since I can remember, and that love for pets led me to work in roles at veterinary hospitals, doggy day cares, and pet supply stores alike. With this experience your pet is sure to be cared for the right way! I work from home full time, so I’m available at all times to be there for your pet! I’m available for boarding 24/7, and can be available for walks/drop-ins whenever needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood, with plenty wide open grass space right outside of my front door, as well as a large fenced in dog area right down my street. I live in a 2B/2BA with more than enough space, and will provide a home away from home for pets. They are welcome on furniture, but happy to incorporate crates or any other rules you have set for your pet.
About: Hello, Rover world! My name is Gerardo, and I am the proud human to Elle and Tayter Dot. I am here to find fun playmates for my girls by hosting your pets. Please note that I will not host any dogs we have not previously met, for the safety of all involved. Since I'm already a dog parent, I'm already doing the dog routine - feeding, walking, petting, etc. Adding your pup to the routine will be pretty natural as a result. Hubs and I work from home, so we are actively spending time with your dog no matter what! We ask that your pet be housebroken. If they have a crate, we can add that to our routine, though our girls have full reign of the house. (It's their house, I just live in it.) Your pet can expect fresh water, a clean home, a yard to run in, and lots of treats. (Maybe also a weird dog voice...sorry not sorry!) I do my best to walk the girls more than once a day. We are regulars at various trails and greenways, as well as hanging with other friends and their dogs. My spouse and I are attentive to the needs of our girls, and will treat your dog like one of our own. You can expect your dog to be loved on, with lots of fetch in the yard, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats for all.
About: Hi! My name is Kortney and I would love to care for your loved ones. I love animals of all types. I’ve had two dogs and a fish in the past, and now I have the world’s most gentle cat! I) I am available for house sitting, walks and play time, potty breaks, meal times, baths, and general companionship during the day/night (they get lonely too!). I don’t have a breed preference, all friendly animals are welcome. I don’t have an age preference either, although I do have a soft spot for old pups. My partner is also on Rover and we often work together. Smoke-free household. I’m very flexible! I am currently working part time during the week and I’m off on weekends so I’ll have tons of time to take great care of your fur babies! I make sure that I don’t pet sit animals with opposing temperaments at the same time. I’m very in tune with cues that they give off. I can also crate your dog if needed.
About: I guarantee your dog will love us and want to come back! We don't just care for your dog, we play with them and treat them like our own. We have experience with day boarding, play dates, dog walking, overnight boarding, and long term boarding up to 6 weeks in length. Your dog will be in our care the entire time. I stay at home with our kids whom I homeschool. My husband works from home. We have a lovable mini labradoodle that loves to play and will make your pup feel at home instantly! We take time to walk your dog and go for car rides as much as your pup prefers! We have a one acre fenced yard your pup is welcome to explore. Being a family with children, there is plenty of love to be given.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid. It comes natural to me. Because I work from home, your dog won’t be left alone all day. They will get consistent attention and supervision. I currently offer house sitting, doggy daycare, and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have a special soft spot for big, goofy pitties, but every pup is welcome. I’m attentive, patient, and tuned in to each dog’s individual needs. whether that’s walks, playtime or cuddle breaks. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home. Working from home allows for consistent potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime and supervision. I have flexibility on the weekends as well. I can accommodate longer stays. I provide a calm, secure, and attentive environment whether pets are in my home or yours. I live in a house with a large yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m mindful of slow, respectful introductions since I also have a cat. In clients’ homes, I follow care instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine, comfort, and safety — treating your space and your pet with the same respect I would my own.
About: Growing up around dogs and having three of my own, I understand the separation anxiety of leaving them at home for long periods or for vacations (been there!). I also understand if you have specific lists of needs as well (been there too!) So I will ensure your doggo is well loved and you get as much contact from me as you need to feel comfortable. My job allows me a lot of flexibility, so most of my days are spent at home or being active outside (I like walking, hiking and I run 3-4x/week). This makes my days very flexible with what I can fit into my schedule. I can guarantee they will fit right in. If we book an appointment, that means my time is now theirs! I do have a dog now, so I'm more limited who I can care for. Let me know what you need and maybe we can work something out. I have a fenced yard with a large doggie door for in/out access. I also have a separate doggie couch we can chill on and they are welcome to get on the bed at night (unless you have a no-furniture rule!) I do pick up backyard waste wherever they stay. It's no fun playing in poo...or coming home to a yard full of it! I can give medication and look after dogs that need extra care.
“Mariel was amazing with Arlo! She sent me videos and picture throughout the day. Arlo had a blast running around the yard and loved having new friends. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Great first experience using Rover. Kimberly provided videos and detailed updates on what my puppy was doing during the day. He came home and passed out! He had so much fun. Would rebook again with her 100%”

“After using rover for the first time I loved michaela once I met her she is a very genuine and understanding person she always send pictures of my sweet pup couldn’t asked for a better sitter ! ❤️”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.
“Kortney has been great taking care of my Benji. She is reliable and very accommodating to last minute changes in my work schedule. I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Kristin always does an excellent job communicating, making me feel comfortable that my pets are in great hands. I appreciate how dependable she is and would recommend her.”
About: I’ve raised five rescue dogs and two rescue cats over the years. I currently have two pups: my Lola, a working breed with many VERY important jobs that the future of this country depends on (if you ask her) and Linus, my funemployed couch potato. My dogs are my life and they’re spoiled for it is their God-given right. I extend that same God-given right to every pet I care for :) They deserve the best in life! They’ll get as much walking, snuggling, fetch, or enrichment if they need their minds kept busy. I also sing opera and jazz to them but will stop if they tell me to 🙂↕️ I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy herding/working breeds, snuggly companion breeds, 70 lb lapdogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dogs with eccentricities that we don’t judge - this is a safe space. I’ve watched so many dogs that make me crack up with their antics. I’m also a big cat lover. I have experience with social cats who need to help out when I’m doing yoga or cooking or just want to snuggle and watch movies. I also have experience with divas and independent cats who lurk and come out when and if they feel like it. I know it can be tough when you’re away from your pets, so I do everything I can to keep their routines consistent and comforting. On the first day of a house sit, I’ll usually work a half day so I can spend extra time helping them settle in or get their new person excitement out. After that, I work a flexible 9-5ish from your home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I leave to walk my dogs and run errands but aside from that I’m with your pets. I prefer at least a couple days notice but can occasionally do last minute so don’t be afraid to ask! I’m comfortable pet sitting at your home and will follow the routine your pet is used to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house.
“Casilya has been a god send. Shes deal with our last minute cancellations and additional requests like a champ. She is flexible whenever we need and has made multiple trips when I accidentally locked her out preventing the walk. She could have gone home and charged us anyways but she didn’t she came back to give my pup a much needed walk after I ran home on lunch to unlock the dog patio.”

I am a college student so I am unavailable on Tuesdays and available starting from 1pm on Thursdays, and I work part time a few days a week, which will always be updated monthly in my calendar!

“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”
About: I currently care for an English Bull Terrier that loves people more than anything else, and is not great with dogs. She has taught me the importance of watching body language, getting ample exercise, taking safe walks to avoid other dogs, and giving all the snuggles needed. I am very aware of dogs needs and keeping distance on leashes because of her. I have been around dogs all my life, from smell driven hound dogs, to ball driven mixes, and I love to play with and care for them all! I grew up raising rats and I love them too! I know the importance of them having social interaction, clean cages, and preferred food. I am also familiar with guinea pigs and hamsters. I also have fresh water fish tanks and can do water changes, feeding and medicine. I currently don’t have any cats (or other pets) because of my dog, so I am itching to get some quality cat time in as well! I would love the chance to care for your pets too! *I will have my 2 year old daughter with me most days. She’s very gentle with animals, but does get excited and laugh a lot. I wear her on my back in a carrier when I enter homes and walk dogs, however if your pet doesn’t like kids or is scared, I won’t be able to help this summer. I am a stay at home mom so I can come check on your pets at the most convenient time for you. If you need someone to come snuggle your pets, let them out, and play with them at anytime of the day, I am your gal! I will make sure your animal has more than just a simple potty break before I leave. They will have love, attention, and exercise. I like to come in the door with a treat (if allowed!) for dogs. I will play ball until the cows come home, or give them all the snuggles and love they need.
About: I have experience with kittens, pregnant cats and senior cats. Your pet will get perfect care and attention ❤️ I would be happy to help you with anything you need. I can visit your pet Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday after 4 pm. I work at a school as a TA and would love to take care of your pet. I would love to feed, clean and play with your pet as long as needed. I am an attentive to details and responsible caregiver 👍

“Keegan is great! She really cares about the dogs and their personalities. She notices the details about their behavior and knows how best to engage with them. Both times she spent the full 30 or 60 minutes with my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how things went. Best experience with rover so far.”

Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or providing walks and drop-in visits, my priority is safety, routine, and comfort. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and household guidelines exactly as provided. I make sure fresh water is always available, food portions are measured accurately, and any special dietary or allergy needs are strictly respected. I am very attentive to behavioral changes and health cues, especially because I have personal experience caring for dogs with medical conditions and allergies. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, avoid high-traffic areas when possible, and adjust pace based on the dog’s energy level and physical needs. After walks, I always check paws, ensure they are comfortable, and leave the home clean and secure. My professional experience as a Resort Associate at Pet Paradise has trained me to monitor group behavior, recognize stress signals, and maintain clean, sanitized environments. I bring that same level of attentiveness and professionalism into every home I enter. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of affection.
About: I've had family pets my entire life and have been the primary care giver for the majority of the time. I've also had foster puppies and dealt with very anxious larger dogs. I have a hybrid schedule so have great flexibility during the week. I'm completely free most afternoons for walks and longer sessions. Weekends are also no trouble, but fill up quickly. Each pet has their own needs. I'm able to just sit and pet or rough house with their favorite toy. I'm very respectful of crate time and treat schedules.
“Priya was prompt, friendly, and did a great job walking my Blaze. The first day was interesting as Blaze constantly escaped her collar and running back to the house. By the second day Blaze was excited to see her and kept looking out the window when she left. I would recommend her for anyone who needs a good walker.”

“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dog just turned one and we had boarded her at a commercial facility and a home atmosphere appealed to us as an alternative so we tried it out. Alyssa and Spencer are fantastic. We met with them beforehand just to ease our concerns and the weekend went so well that we rebooked for two more trips this summer. We highly recommend them!”
“Cheryl is the best! Our pup is so happy there. She keeps us updated while we are away but his excitement when he arrives at her house is the tell tale sign of his happiness.”
“Peggy took amazingly great care of Amigo. Gave him special treats like a yogurt board and other puzzles. He loved many playful mornings in her great back yard with Peggy’s dog, Barklee! Her true love of dogs is apparent! Can’t think of enough great things to say! Book her with complete confidence!”
“We were in a pinch for a dog sitter and were so lucky to have found Kayla and her family. Our 10 month old lab is a hand full and they were wonderful with him. We had pictures and updates every day and didn't worry about him for a moment. We feel like Riley now has a second family to go to instead of boarding. We are truly grateful!”
“Stephanie was great! She was very accommodating to the quick request for Sailor to stay. Sailor had a great time playing with her dog Nico and is going to sleep hard after the stay. Stephanie also sent several updates on how he was doing with photos included.”
“Haley, took such good care of Eddie! Even let him eat where he was comfortable. Lol spoiling and lots of cuddles is an understatement. For our first time it was seamless and I wouldn't hesitate to have her watch him again.”
“Judith took amazing care of our Lava! We have now trusted Judith with our pup twice (once for a week when we were on vacation). If you are looking for a place that your pup can enjoy plenty of fenced in outdoor space with shade, other friendly dogs to play with, and caring caretakers—look no further!”
“Hunter takes great care of our Roxie! She always comes home very happy. Hunter is reliable and keeps us updated. We also love the adorable pictures she sends of our girl.”
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful! Immediately from the meet & greet I knew Cora was in great hands. She was extremely responsive and then had such a warm energy the minute we met her. Deborah had everything we needed for the stay including a crate, toys and a dog bed! Cora had a great time in her yard. Deb also did a wonderful job with some thunderstorm anxiety and making sure Cora was as comfortable as possible. I will absolutely look to book with her again! Thanks so much for all the love and care you gave Cora!!”
“Linda was great! Bear stayed with her over the holiday and had a great time. He came home happy, I got lots of communication and photos throughout the week, and he had a friend to play with!”
“Gabriella did great with my dog! She noticed he wasn't eating all his dog food and asked if she could supplement it with some dog-friendly broth. He loved it so much, he would eat his food in a minute or two. I am grateful to her for taking such great care of him!!”
“My first time using Rover and I was able to book a stay with Hope. She was very sweet and made sure to check in with my pictures and videos. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much!”
“Amy & Ross continue to be excellent caregivers for our pups! Communicative and willing to go the extra mile (and that includes literally in the form of hikes), you can rest assured they will keep your pups happy and healthy”
“Carolina did a wonderful job of taking care of Seamus. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the week. It’s great that she has a dog that my dog could play with and run around with. Will definitely book again!”
“Rue had an amazing time playing with Gerardo's 2 dogs in their fenced-in backyard. She got to go on lots of walks and even to dog parks. Gerardo and his family seem to be so loving and engaging with the dogs, and I know our pup can't wait to get back. We were particularly impressed with the level of communication with us. We got great daily updates with lots of pictures.”
“She was amazing, super friendly and very accommodating when we needed a last minute rover!! Highly recommend!! Boots came back so exhausted from all his play time!”
“Michaela was a wonderful pet sitter! She took in my elderly dog and my puppy, and they got along great with her dogs and her family. It was nice being away and knowing our dogs were safe and well-cared for. Thank you, Michaela!”
“Celeste is the best. I had an unexpected delayed flight, and thankfully, Celeste was able to watch my dog longer than I had planned. I was updated regularly with pictures while on vacation that made my day. I knew my dog was in safe hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I definitely will use Celeste again.”
“Our pup is dealing with some medical issues and Daniel was more than willing to help so we could enjoy some time away, and we appreciate that more than we can say! We know our dog is safe and well cared for with Uncle Dan!”
“Cody is super communicative! He kept us updated on the pups and sent tons of pictures. We felt super comfortable having him watch our dogs and would definitely use him again!”
