“Nancy and her family were wonderful with my Kash. He is spoiled and they continued that treatment. Nancy is responsive and great with the pictures. I would recommend her 100%!”
“Alison and Richard are awesome! So accommodating and flexible with drop off and pick up. They have a beautiful home with lots of room for the dogs to run. Highly recommend!”
“We love Kim! She gives our crazy beagle boy, Rudy, lots of love and attention. Always willing to work with us on bookings and is very quick to respond. Thank you, Kim!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had such a good experience! Jamie was very experienced and professional and gave us regular updates on how our pup was doing. We’ve never left him with anyone other than family or our neighbor, but we felt relaxed and confident leaving him in Jamie’s care for a week while we were away. Jamie has two very sweet dogs and a big backyard for the pups to run around. Our dog came home tired and happy. We couldn’t have asked for more! We will definitely use Jamie again!!”
“We are so glad we found Camilla and her family to take care of Toby for us. It is such a relief to know that our guy will be well taken care of and loved while we are away.”
“This is the first time I leave my dog with Casey. My dog was very happy to the point that he didn’t wanna leave. That means he was well taken care of. Thank you so much Casey. I will definitely use you next time for my dogsiter.”
“Scarlet helped me out with short notice, keeping my 10 month old Bailey overnight. He had a great stay and enjoyed playing in the backyard with another boarder who was there! She kept me updated with texts and pictures!”
“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! From our very first meet-and-greet, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and has such a warm, caring energy. I was nervous about leaving my baby, Lexi, with someone new, but Caitlin went above and beyond—she even managed two last-minute walks to get to know Lexi better before her stay. By the time we dropped Lexi off for four days, it felt like leaving her with a trusted friend. Caitlin kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos (which almost made me jealous—Lexi was so happy!). She took such great care of my girl, making sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and even runs. When Lexi was hesitant to eat, Caitlin ran out to get some deli meat to top her food—just one of the many ways she went the extra mile. I can’t recommend Caitlin enough! If you’re looking for a sitter who will treat your pup like family, she’s the one. ❤️🐶”
“Although I had to cancel, I was so impressed by Michelle’s wonderful personality and love for dogs that I will most definitely call on her in the event that I will need a boarding facility for my beloved Binky in the future.”
“Susan and her family love Penny like she’s their dog. When we pulled into the driveway, Penny couldn’t wait to get out of the car to see them again. There is no greater review than your dog joyfully going to their boarder! Susan sends the best pictures and videos to recap the day. Susan has always communicated quickly. She is our go to boarder for our girl.”
“Left my Maisey with Lipika and her family for a whole week and they really made her feel comfy and welcome the whole time. As for myself, I did not feel anxious or worried about Maisey during my trip as I got frequent photo/video updates as well as assurances from Lipika on how she was doing. My flight back was delayed by half a day and they were flexible and understanding with me about that as well. Would highly recommend and will not be hesitating to book again. Thank you!!”
“We left our dog with Bri for the first time for 5 days. She was accommodating and sent updates with pictures every day. Our dog did well with her and her dogs and family. I would happily use Bri again.”
“Kaitlyn is absolutely amazing! She stepped in last minute to watch Charlie for a week and was a total lifesaver. If you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares and provides a five-star experience, look no further. I received frequent updates and so many great photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Kaitlyn is incredibly kind and has a wonderful, welcoming home that is perfect for a pup. I felt 100% at ease knowing Charlie was in such good hands. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We love leaving our pups with Anamika. I absolutely love the update pictures she sends throughout the day and we know they’re in good hands with her and her family!”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”

About: I understand the nuance in cat care and have a deep understanding of cats and their behavior. I don’t underestimate the importance of boundaries and the time it takes to build trust with cats. I love cats of all personalities , sweet and cuddly, independent and shy. I uniquely tailor the way I care for cats to suit all different personalities. I’ve seen how important routines are for cats and make sure to not stray from their regular schedule while their owner is away.
“Christina D. provided an outstanding cat sitting and house sitting service for us through Rover.com, and we couldn't be happier with her care for our beloved feline friend. We entrusted her with the task of looking after our cat for three days and two nights, and she exceeded all our expectations. Christina went above and beyond to ensure our cat's well-being and comfort. She diligently followed our feeding schedule, making sure our cat was fed approximately every three hours throughout the day. Her commitment to our pet's routine was truly remarkable, and it gave us peace of mind knowing that our furry companion was well taken care of in our absence. Moreover, Christina's compassionate approach ensured that our cat never felt lonely during our time away. She provided companionship and attention, keeping our pet happy and content throughout the duration of her stay. Her genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction, and it's clear that she takes great pride in her role as a pet caregiver. In addition to her exceptional pet care skills, Christina was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She was understanding of our schedule and made adjustments to ensure that our cat's needs were always met. Furthermore, she kept us updated with regular photo updates, allowing us to stay connected with our furry friend and enjoy our special occasion in another state stress-free. Overall, we cannot recommend Christina D. highly enough for her outstanding cat sitting and house sitting services. She is a true professional with a genuine passion for animals, and we wouldn't hesitate to entrust her with our pet care needs in the future. Thank you, Christina, for your dedication, reliability, and exceptional care!”
About: Caring for cats is something I truly enjoy, and I understand that every cat has its own unique personality and comfort level. Whether they’re playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I have experience feeding cats, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications when needed, and keeping a close eye on their health and behavior. I also provide pet sitting and overnight care, making sure they stay on their normal routine and receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship—or quiet space if that’s what they prefer. My goal is to treat every cat as if they were my own, providing dependable, compassionate care so both pets and their owners can have complete peace of mind.
“John is amazing! He is very accommodating with his time. Came to meet the pack the week before the schedule date. The dogs loved him. Then the day before scheduled sit I had to reschedule for the following week due to illness. He was able and willing to change dates. I will definitely rebook with him.”
“Nancy took great care of my senior Kitty over a holiday weekend - even waking up early for morning feedings to keep my girl on her usual schedule. You won’t regret booking with Nancy!”

About: Hello! I'm a stay-at-home mom with two dogs and one cat. In addition to taking care of my own pets, I have fostered numerous dogs of all sizes and ages. My specialty is medium to large, active dogs who need exercise. I enjoy running and hiking, so if you have a dog who needs outdoor time, please contact me! I also have experience with sick animals who need special care. I have nursed several dogs back to health, including fosters and the strays who find me. I'm available to visit your home for your pet's needs, to feed, walk, administer medication, as well as provide transportation to vet appointments. Our house has extra rooms to board and babysit pets. There is plenty of space in our yard and neighborhood for walks, running, and playtime. I'm excited to meet you and your pet to see how I can be there for you! I'm a stay-at-home mom to three older/independent kids and a baby. I am looking forward to getting out of the house to walk your dogs, provide drop-in care, and/or dogsitting and boarding at my home. I have worked with rescue dogs with violent backgrounds or stress from the shelter. I can read their body language and make sure they are comfortable with me and our environment. Your dog will stay on a leash unless we are in a fenced area. My backyard is fenced in, and I have a finished basement with kennels if your dog needs a quiet place. My two dogs are very friendly, so if your dog is interested in playing, they will be introduced. My dogs are up-to-date on their vaccines.
“My Winston absolutely loves it at Kim’s house! He just struts right in like he owns the place. Her pups couldn’t be any sweeter & we feel so lucky we found her . Thanks Rover for making this so easy.”
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She graciously accepted my VERY last minute booking request, was easy to communicate/coordinate with, and a breeze for drop off and pick up. She was just what Mandy needed as we train her separation anxiety. I loved the pictures she sent of their time together. Was very nice to know my pup was in safe, loving hands! And her backyard looks like a dog’s paradise which was perfect for Mandy’s addiction to ball throwing!!”
“Jasmine took wonderful care of our dog during several daytime visits. She is highly knowledgeable about dogs, especially those with separation anxiety, and she knows exactly how to handle sensitive situations with calm confidence. Her communication is clear, consistent, and straightforward. She was also extremely accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable and reassured every step of the way. It was clear that our dog was in capable, caring hands. I highly recommend her for both pet sitting and training.”
“Bethany was very accommodating to my schedule working 12 hours shifts and the terrible traffic. Then the care she provided for my fur baby was amazing! I was so thankful for the pictures and text throughout the day. Grateful for her experience and understanding of high anxiety pups. Will definitely use her service’s again”

“Keith was great and helped us out when we wanted to go out to dinner for a few hours! He watched our sweet pup Noomi and kept us updated with pictures and videos! Thanks Keith, we will for sure book again!!”
About: I love dogs and what they bring to our life! Your pup will hang out with a friendly and energetic 5-year old Golden Retriever, his name is Tango and he is great with other dogs! We have a large fenced in yard and we spend lots of time playing ball and chasing squirrels. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pup. I only host one family at a time to make sure I give plenty of attention. I live in a neighborhood with lots of pet friendly walking areas. I have a large fenced in yard and pups are welcome in all living spaces at the house. They are allowed in beds and couches. If your pup is used to sleep in a crate, please bring it with you! For the safety of Tango and other dogs I do require a copy of vaccine records as well as flea, tick and heartworm preventive all being up-to-date.
About: My family jokes that I was raised by animals. 🤣 I have had pets since I was born, and considered them my best friends. I have had jobs in dog grooming, some experience in training, volunteered at my local SPCA, currently an active volunteer for Angels To The Animals & even became a full time artist selling commissioned pet portraits! Everything about furry animals & waggy tails brings me immense joy and happiness. Animals calm my soul. Today, I have 3 of the most spoiled doggo’s out there. I narrate their thoughts, talk to them like they’re babies, and they are even insta-famous! They have their own bedroom, closet, dresser, mountains of toys, and an abundance of clothes/accessories. I truly do work hard so my dogs can have a better life. I have experience in housecleaning so I regularly entered people’s homes. Rest assured, I’ll leave your house the way I found it (maybe better if I see an animal mess that needs tending to). I’ll treat your home like my own. I have responsibilities Tuesday- Friday from noon- 1:00 however I’m available before or after. Ideally, I am looking for regular clients that consistently need someone to hang out with their fur babies. I would meet you and your fur baby, and get a lay of the land. If you need me to feed them, water them, give treats, I would just need to know where to access them. For cats, if you need me to clean the litter box, I would just need to know where the bags, & scooper are. Also where you’d like the waste disposed.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! Nice to meet you (and your fur babies)! A little background info on me: I've grown up with animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to horses, rabbits, and peacocks and have loved to care for them. Although my background is with a variety of animals, dogs are my specialty! 🐾💜 I treat each and every pet like they’re my own and make sure they’re well taken care for, whether that means walking, play-time, feeding, enrichment, etc. I'm a current pet owner of two sweet dogs and one purr-fect cat. I’ve volunteered for years at rescues and shelters and have experience needed for any specific breed. I've fostered puppies and senior dogs until I myself became a foster fail (we adopted our foster)! I work a remote schedule so I can be flexible with days/hours if I have enough notice to care for your babies! I do not commit to specific time, but rather a time range. Short notice is possible, but I prefer at least a few days notice in advance :) I offer an approach that matches your pet’s energy. If your pet is playful, we will play. If your pet is shy & nervous, my approach will be more reserved and mindful of their boundaries.
About: I have a love for pets, whether it be my own or others. I will gladly treat your beloved family member with love, care and compassion. I have experience with various breeds and temperaments. Whether I am in your home pet sitting or out for the casual walk around the block, I will be attentive to needs and wants. I will get down on their level play with them or just join them on the couch while they nap in my lap. My enjoyment comes from petting, loving and making my contribution to happy, healthy pets. A satisfied customer is one who can trust the care I provide, and know that I will always provide 110 percent. I look forward to the opportunity to serve the pets in my community.

About: I am a motivated, gentle, loving, and caring dog mom who will treat your fur babies like my own. I have a big fenced-in backyard where they can run and play, plus a doggie pool for extra fun. I am experienced Vet tech and currently a student, which has helped me become responsible, organized, and dependable. Dogs have a special place in my heart, and I believe they deserve love, patience, and care because to them, we are their whole world.
About: "I bring positivity, patience, and love to every pet I care for. I make sure walks are fun, safe, and filled with treats and cuddles—because pets deserve the best!" "I integrate pet care into my routine by making sure every furry friend I watch gets dedicated time every day for walks, play, and companionship. I’m flexible with schedules and can adjust to the needs of each pet." I follow the instructions provided by the pet owner carefully. I ensure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and playtime. I keep their space clean, provide fresh water, and monitor their health and mood during every visit."
About: I have had dogs since I was born. We have had anywhere from 1 to 4 dogs at a time. As a family of four with two working parents, I have always been responsible to care for my dogs in the way they need. I currently work remotely for my full time job. I tend to do some traveling but also have much free time on my hands when I am at home. My two dogs at home are fully potty trained. I am comfortable taking them out on leashes, cleaning up after them, and crating them if needed.

“Keith did an awesome job with my fur baby!! She was so excited to see him each day he came to walk her. I booked Keith for a week to walk my fur baby, and he was consistent and reliable each day. I will definitely book again with him.”
“Caitlin is an absolute angel! She was available super last minute to watch my high-energy pup while we went on vacation for a week. She was super communicative with updates, photos, and grabbing packages for us! I always appreciate working with someone who can match my pup's energy and Caitlin certainly kept up with him. I fully intend on trusting Caitlin with my fur babies care in the future and highly recommend you do the same!”
“The best judge of character is Blu and he really liked Liz. She is friendly, prompt, professional and kept us updated on how Blu was & with pictures.”
About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I have 6 labrador retrievers and have experience in breeding, training, and caring for puppies. I am also experienced in providing special needs care including meds, shots, and injury care. My schedule is very flexible. I am currently available throughout the day. I am also currently a student at Appalachian State University and have the free time to provide care for your pets. I always try my best to accommodate pets' routines. I like to make sure that both cats and dogs are comfortable, happy, and safe in the client's home while I am providing care.
“I cannot recommend Aaliyah enough! She is truly the best dog walker and pet sitter I could ask for. I never have any concerns when she's watching my pets because I know they are in amazing hands. What really sets Aaliyah apart is how much she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. She always takes extra time to spend with them, and my dog Blue is absolutely obsessed with her. She does so much more than just walk him. She helps trim his nails, brushes him, works on fun activities and training, and even does adorable little photo shoots with costumes she brings herself. Whether she's teaching Blue agility skills or just making him feel loved with a silly dress-up session, she always goes above and beyond. It's such a relief knowing that Blue isn't just getting exercise—he's getting enrichment, attention, and lots of love. Aaliyah treats him like one of her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets like family, I wholeheartedly recommend her! And on top of everything she always makes sure to give love to my two cats even though she usually just there for Blue :)”

We are available for daily stays during your vacation, summer stays, week days, etc. I’ve been pet-sitting for over 10 years, and it’s been a wonderful way for me to combine my love of animals with a flexible schedule. I started when I began working remotely, and I’ve had extensive experience with both in-home pet sitting and dog walking. I know how hard it can be for pets and their owners when they’re apart, so I always strive to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Keeping your pets active and entertained is one of my top priorities, whether it's a fun walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend a lot of time with your animals during the day. Plus, my fiancé , Jeremy, assists me with my services. Jeremy works full-time remotely in IT, which allows him to help with pet sitting and walking whenever needed. This means your pets will receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s for a short stay or a longer period, we’re happy to accommodate your needs and make sure your pets are well cared for and loved while you’re away. If you have any questions or specific requests, I’d be more than happy to answer them. We look forward to helping you and your furry friend! I'm a full time professional with a flexible schedule. I'm able to spend the majority of the weekdays with them and can spend all the time on in the evenings and weekends. I'm also available to check in or stay with your animals while you are in town for vacation and need coverage for a few hours. Their safety is my top priority while you are away. I keep a good eye on them and don't like to by physically away from them for long as I know it can be a hard transition sometimes.

“LaJuan did an amazing job with my pup!!! Great communication and went above and beyond to make sure that she was well taken care of while I was away. I would highly recommend letting LaJuan watch your fur baby!”
About: I have always had a love of dogs! My first dog was a beagle and my current dog is a lab. I am missing my dog as she is in Ohio with my parents, which is why I would love the opportunity to spend more time with dogs! I used to walk dogs in college and I think it is a great hobby to get a walk in with a furry friend. I currently work full time on the weekends and every other Monday, but I am available Tuesdays-Thursdays early morning until 6pm. I would love the opportunity to knock out an outdoor exercise and spending time with a cute dog! I will always prioritize your pet’s safety and happiness! I always make sure to keep my lab entertained and can tell when she needs water or food just by looking at her!
About: Since I can remember, my family always had pets and we loved rescuing and caring for animals. The most pets I’ve had at once was 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 turtles in my household and I loved it. Now my partner and I have 1 dog and 2 cats and we love our furry babies 💛 My husband and I are always available full time for your pet sitter needs for boarding or just watching your fur babies for a few hours. We have a large yard with plenty of space to run and do their business. We have 1 dog and 2 cats who love friends and company. My dog is trained and loves to have fun! I have crates and plenty of rooms if needed.
About: I grew up in a house where there were always more paws than feet. From the time I was born through my years in high school, I was the designated caregiver for our family pets and the "go-to" sitter for neighbors and friends. Having owned and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, I understand that pets aren't just animals—they’re family members with their own unique personalities and routines. What Sets Me Apart I am a Senior Software Engineer currently working remotely, which means I offer a level of reliability and structure that is hard to find. I’m a regular at the gym and love staying active, so if you have a high-energy dog that needs a long walk or a vigorous play session, I’m your guy. My Care Style Reliable Communication: I’m tech-savvy and organized; you’ll get regular updates, photos, and quick responses. Multi-Pet Expertise: I’m comfortable managing households with multiple animals (including cats!). Active & Attentive: Whether it’s a focused walk or just some quality couch time for a senior pet, I adapt to what your pet needs most. I’m currently between projects and have plenty of availability to provide your pets with the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! In terms of house sitting, I cannot stay at your house since I must care for my own pups, however I will be there late and come early to give your animal the care it needs! If you want to see more of how I take care of my own personal dogs, they have their own Instagram called Pinero_Pups, take a look! I am a tech professional currently in a career transition, which means I have an incredibly flexible schedule and am home for the majority of the day. Unlike a standard 9-to-5 sitter, I am available to provide constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions. Whether it's a weekday or a weekend, your pet will be my primary focus, and I can easily adapt to their specific feeding and exercise routines. Having cared for dogs and cats my entire life, safety is my top priority. My home environment is pet-friendly and well-organized, and I am experienced in managing multi-pet households (including both dogs and cats). I am a firm believer in clear communication; you’ll receive consistent photo updates and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. In my care, your pet will have: A Secure Environment: I am diligent about door safety and leash security during walks. Active Supervision: I’m a regular at the gym and love staying active, so I have the energy to keep up with high-energy breeds. Personalized Attention: I respect each pet's boundaries—whether they need a vigorous game of fetch or a quiet corner to nap in.
About: ⭐ Detailed updates with photos/videos ⭐Meet & greets available for new clients ⭐Extra cuddles & kisses always given Hi, I'm Rowan ✨I'm your pet's new favorite sitter and probably their future bestie 🐾 I've taken care of animals of friends and family since I was in high school and truly have found a love of meeting all the fur babies! I started working remotely 5 years ago and I noticed a difference in my dog and now I want to help others that can't be home all day like I am. I have my own little chaotic pup of my own and have had many family dogs, each with their own unique personality, so I understand that every dog is special. That's why I love watching animals so much! I strive to learn the personality of each animal and truly connect with them as I understand it can be stressful being away from their humans. I want every animal to feel as calm and happy as possible. I also understand that being away from your pup can be stressful (I also get anxious leaving my girl in the hands of others) so I want to make sure that you can enjoy your time away without worrying. Updates and constant communication are key with me, so always know you'll never be unsure about how your dog is doing! My goal is simple: for you to feel 100% comfortable with your pet care and for your dog to have a happy and relaxed time while you are away. I work remote so I am very flexible and want to spread the convenience of working from home to others who can't stay home with their animals all day. All animals are different and have unique needs and I always strive to make sure those needs are meet. Animal safety is my #1 as well as making them happy and loved!
About: I’ve spent my lifetime taking care of dogs. I grew up owning dogs and spend my free time volunteering at the local humane society. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. At home, I have a 3 year old pit bull mix and a tiny 14 year old cockapoo. I’ve cared for puppies and young dogs, training them to walk nicely on a leash, ring a bell to go outside, and do simple tricks like sit, lay down, shake, and more. I enjoy spending time with animals and developing tailored care for all personalities. I work Wednesday’s and Thursday’s 8-4pm, but I am open all other days and hours outside of that. I’m available for drop ins, overnights, and for walks. It depends on the pets and their specific needs. I work with the owner making sure that the expectations are met and each pet gets the personalized care they need.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young. I’ve taken cats, dogs, hamsters. I’ve taken care of sick ones too that needed medicine 4 times a day so I can wake up at anything for pets that need medication. I love pets and will not be taking class nor working so I will be 24/7 free for animals so I will give lots love. I have a fence in my house :) I will be playing with the pets or giving them space and I will also take them out for walks and go to the park! My schedule at the moment is pick and choose so I am able to accommodate around your schedule and needs. This means I can be there at any time and for however long you need me. I spend my whole day with your pets. I usually do homework on my computer or watch tv near your pets, so they are supervised at all times. I exercise so I will let them go on multiple walks regularly. I would obviously give them attention and let them out when they please.
“Bethany has been walking my dogs for over a year now and she's been great! We've really relied on her while we're working long hours. She's been very dependable. I recommend her to all of my friends.”
About: Hi! I’m Emily, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether you need drop-in visits, dog walking, or overnight pet sitting, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, administer basic medications if needed, take dogs on walks, play with them, give plenty of affection, clean up after them, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I’ve always had a love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or prefers quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m committed to making them feel happy and comfortable. I’m currently a full-time student at UNC Charlotte, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, on weekends, and during many holidays and school breaks. I’m organized, responsible, and quick to communicate, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can travel or work with confidence, knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I am currently a student at UNC Charlotte but I have a flexible schedule. I would love to work with you to set a weekly schedule for walking your pup! Or even work with you to on deciding a walking/feeding schedule whenever you take a vacation! While I am not able to care for your pup in my own home, I understand the importance of respecting your space and ensuring that your pup is happy and healthy!

“Alison and Richard are awesome! So accommodating and flexible with drop off and pick up. They have a beautiful home with lots of room for the dogs to run. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had such a good experience! Jamie was very experienced and professional and gave us regular updates on how our pup was doing. We’ve never left him with anyone other than family or our neighbor, but we felt relaxed and confident leaving him in Jamie’s care for a week while we were away. Jamie has two very sweet dogs and a big backyard for the pups to run around. Our dog came home tired and happy. We couldn’t have asked for more! We will definitely use Jamie again!!”
“We are so glad we found Camilla and her family to take care of Toby for us. It is such a relief to know that our guy will be well taken care of and loved while we are away.”
“Scarlet helped me out with short notice, keeping my 10 month old Bailey overnight. He had a great stay and enjoyed playing in the backyard with another boarder who was there! She kept me updated with texts and pictures!”
“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! From our very first meet-and-greet, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and has such a warm, caring energy. I was nervous about leaving my baby, Lexi, with someone new, but Caitlin went above and beyond—she even managed two last-minute walks to get to know Lexi better before her stay. By the time we dropped Lexi off for four days, it felt like leaving her with a trusted friend. Caitlin kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos (which almost made me jealous—Lexi was so happy!). She took such great care of my girl, making sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and even runs. When Lexi was hesitant to eat, Caitlin ran out to get some deli meat to top her food—just one of the many ways she went the extra mile. I can’t recommend Caitlin enough! If you’re looking for a sitter who will treat your pup like family, she’s the one. ❤️🐶”
“Susan and her family love Penny like she’s their dog. When we pulled into the driveway, Penny couldn’t wait to get out of the car to see them again. There is no greater review than your dog joyfully going to their boarder! Susan sends the best pictures and videos to recap the day. Susan has always communicated quickly. She is our go to boarder for our girl.”
“Left my Maisey with Lipika and her family for a whole week and they really made her feel comfy and welcome the whole time. As for myself, I did not feel anxious or worried about Maisey during my trip as I got frequent photo/video updates as well as assurances from Lipika on how she was doing. My flight back was delayed by half a day and they were flexible and understanding with me about that as well. Would highly recommend and will not be hesitating to book again. Thank you!!”
“We left our dog with Bri for the first time for 5 days. She was accommodating and sent updates with pictures every day. Our dog did well with her and her dogs and family. I would happily use Bri again.”
“Kaitlyn is absolutely amazing! She stepped in last minute to watch Charlie for a week and was a total lifesaver. If you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares and provides a five-star experience, look no further. I received frequent updates and so many great photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Kaitlyn is incredibly kind and has a wonderful, welcoming home that is perfect for a pup. I felt 100% at ease knowing Charlie was in such good hands. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We love leaving our pups with Anamika. I absolutely love the update pictures she sends throughout the day and we know they’re in good hands with her and her family!”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Our boys were well taken care of and loved on at Ginia’s home for a full week! She sent daily pictures and kept us up-to-date with their daily activities. It was such a relief to know they were being treated like family. I highly recommend Ginia !”
“Sarah & Erik were fantastic with our golden retriever! There was amazing communication and picture updates, which were very appreciated as rhis was his first time staying overnight at someone's home rather than a boarding facility. He came back so happy, sweet, and well cared for. Thank you for everything, we will definitrly be booking again in the future!”
“We have left our pup with Brooke a couple of times now and she is amazing! Our pup is excited every time we pull into the driveway! Will definitely keep using Brooke!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing! She was quick to respond and give updates when needed. She provided lots of photos and videos which was a nice touch! As someone who is weary of using a new dog sitter, Lauren is someone who was able to put my mind at ease with constant updates and great communication. I never felt the need to be anxious or nervous as I knew Mav was in a safe environment and with someone who could take such great care of him. I couldn’t recommend Lauren enough!”
