“My family and I were preparing to head out of town for my birthday when we realized, in the middle of all the planning, that we had forgotten to schedule a sitter for Oakley. Like any dog mom would, I immediately went to Rover and was pleasantly surprised to see several sitters available. I reached out to a few profiles, and Rebecca D. responded right away, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Rebecca was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We quickly coordinated a plan for dropping Oakley off, and the process was seamless. When we arrived, Rebecca was already outside waiting for us and gave clear instructions on where to park. She even invited us inside, which we politely declined, but I thought it was such a thoughtful gesture. Prior to our arrival, she also shared information about her dog’s temperament, which I really appreciated. Throughout the weekend, Rebecca kept us updated with photos and videos of Oakley, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. When we picked him up, he was excited to see us, but it was also obvious that he had a wonderful time with her. Oakley came home happy, and we are so thankful for the care Rebecca provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with her!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Martine and Ronald! Lots of update photos which was great. They were also very accommodating. Highly recommend.”
“Lauren and her family were amazing with my dog Finn! It was my first time boarding Finn with them and so we did a meet and greet beforehand with Lauren and her dog Riley, which went great and showed how comfortable Finn would be staying with them. During his actual stay, Lauren kept me updated on Finn and sent me pictures every day. It was obvious he was well taken care of and he seemed to really enjoy his time with them. Lauren was also very understanding and accommodating when my plans changed and Finn needed to stay an extra night, which I very much appreciated. I will definitely bring Finn back to stay with them whenever there is need! Thanks again for taking care of Finn! I'm sure he'll miss you! :)”
“Renee was great with my Isis! She was very responsive and Isis felt comfortable pretty quickly. She can be shy at first but she warmed up nicely. Thankful for her!”
“Summer took great care of our dogs. We received regular updates and were happy to know they got along well with Summers dogs. Toby is usually anxious when we leave him but he was very well adjusted which goes to show how loved they were. Highly recommend!”
“Cristhian and Katty took such good care of my Tino, he even missed them when he got home. He behaved so well for them because they were so loving with him. They took him out with them and really listened and cared about what Tino does and doesn’t like. They spoiled my baby rotten in the week he was with them! Their ShihTzu Pacho is very mild mannered and tolerant and is super sweet ! I will absolutely be rebooking with them any time I need a sitter.”
“Bailey was just amazing. This was the first time my 11 year old chihuahua has been away from home without me, but the moment I met Bailey I was immediately at ease. She showed kindness, love, and patience towards my dog from the start. She showed me around her yard, and listened attentively as I explained my dog's habits and routines. She sent a text and photos of how my dog was doing during his stay with her. When I went to pick him up, he showed no signs of stress - he was calm and happy upon my arrival. Thank you, Bailey! I would book with you again in a heartbeat.”
“Our Shiba Inu puppy was having a great time! She got extremely good care, super fun play times, and Todd also prepared fresh food for her to improve her digestive system which was under some weather before. We also got extensive communications and photo/videos during her stay so we feel like virtually connected to her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Luis was wonderful. He communicated every step of the way. He was kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. I made a mistake and he was more than gracious about it. This was my first experience with Rover and I was extremely nervous. However, I will definitely be looking to work with him again.”
“Amanda was so great for Buddy! She was so flexible in meeting us prior to his stay, and she kept me updated throughout with pictures and video. Whenever I asked how he was doing she promptly replied with a story about his time with her. It was a great comfort knowing that she really cared about his well being while we were gone. Thank you Amanda!”
“Suki had a great time at Stefan and Cara’s. She’s a pretty sizable 8 month old boxer puppy, and they handled her very well. It was great to receive the updates and pictures while we were on our trip, and we knew she was in good hands. We will definitely be in contact in the future! Thank you, Stefan and Cara!”
“Debra took great care of our 4 year old Doodle for an extended trip. She updated us with regular photos and videos of his stay and the dog buddies he played with there. Highly recommend.”
“Mary took such amazing care of our pup Rocky while we were on vacation—she kept us consistently updated with sweet photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. She made sure he got plenty of walks and even let him run wild in her backyard, which he absolutely loved!”
“Wally was so happy when I picked him up and I can tell that he thoroughly enjoyed his time with Melissa and Mr. Peanut butter. Melissa is super easy to communicate with and friendly - we will be back!”
“Evelyn was above and beyond! She sent great daily updates and followed all of our directions and more. Above all we had what you would call a travel nightmare on our way home which ultimately ended in a canceled flight. Evelyn took care of our Harper for an extra night without hesitation! Brings us so much peace of mind to know we have someone we can rely on for our dog care!”
“Susan took wonderful care of our pup. We know we left him in good hands. From our first request, she was responsive and kept us posted on how he was doing. We will use her service again.”
“Our Beau, dog, had a blast.. Jerry was great in communicating before and during the petsitting. We did not worry about anything. Highly recommend him and his expertise.”
“Argo enjoyed his time boarding with Brayden! His home provided a great environment for Argo, and Argo came back well cared for, and tired from playing with the other pup boarding there for the weekend. Communication was also very good. Thank you!”
“Angelica and her family were absolute professionals when it came to taking care of our pup, Alphonse. From the initial meet-and-greet, she was so organized and thoughtful about ensuring that she had all the information necessary to take the best care of him. If you are type A like me, you will particularly appreciate the checklist that she provides :) Once we went out of town, we received plentiful updates each day, which was a huge relief and made us feel less guilty about leaving him behind. Al got plenty of outside time and managed to eat very well at her house, despite being a little shy about that when not in his usual environment. He also got some great socialization with Angelica's daughter, who was very patient and gentle. We will absolutely contact Angelica again for our boarding needs and would recommend her to others.”
“Obi is right at home with Scott and Heather, they treat him like their own! He acts sad every time he leaves their home, so I know he had an absolute blast. He can’t wait to come back!”

“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of Tina and Timmy—they can’t stop raving about her! 😊She gave them lots of love and attention while keeping me up-to-date on what was going on at home in my absence. I appreciated all the photos and videos. I will absolutely hire her again the next time I am away.”
“This is the 2nd time Karina has done drop in visits for our cats while we were out of town. She is professional, reliable and trustworthy. She sent pics of our cats and updates at each check in. Absolutely hope to use her next time I go out of town! Thanks Karina!”
“Excellent care given to my cats. Will definitely rebook again. Trisha took nice pictures and I could tell my cats really enjoyed the time that was spent with them. The house was spotless when I returned and my cats were probably disappointed that their back to being stuck with me now!”
“Penny was fantastic! She took excellent care of our cat while we were away, giving us total peace of mind. Not only was our cat happy and well looked after, but Penny also went above and beyond by watering our flowers and feeding our fish. Everything was just as we left it or better! We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Ashley. I am very well pleased and plan on using Rover and Ashley again. My two furbaby cats were well-loved and cared for. Loved the updates and pics from Ashley. My litter and feed areas as well as my house were neat just as I left them with Ashley. Definitely a 5-star rating.”
“Natalie was wonderful! Before we ever left town she came over for a meet and greet with our dog and got to know him, his schedule and our needs. While we were out of town, she was very responsive, sent several pictures and notes. I knew our dog was in great hands! I would definitely use Natalie again.”
“Ella did a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were out of town. I don't worry about them at all when she is looking after them. She always sends great photos and detailed notes. She is the best!”
“Emily is amazing with our two cats!! They rarely come out of hiding for anyone but us, but they love seeing her come in the door! She takes the time to play with each of them individually with their favorite toys, and sends us adorable pictures and updates while we’re gone. We couldn’t ask for a better guardian for them when we’re away. Love her!!”
“Jharana provided exceptional care to our cats while we were away on vacation. I have an elderly cat who needed daily medication, and Jharana was so attentive and thorough with her updates. She really went above and beyond what I expected of a pet sitter! I will definitely ask her to watch them next time we go out of town!”
“Nina did absolutely great with Mozart and Zoey, including taking some cute photos of them. She arrived at the same time every day and spent half an hour with them. Our cats are very cautious about strangers but Mozart came out when she was here. Zoey was under the bed. We appreciate Nina's kind and loving treatment of our babies. Margaret and Ray James”
“Emily was great with my cat Milo. I was worried he'd feel lonely since I work from home and rarely go on vacation, but she made sure to spend time with him on top of feeding and scooping his litter. Would 100% hire again in the future!”
“My cat was fed exactly when I requested and I got pictures both times she was visited that showed how happy she was. She was in very good spirits when I returned. Katie did a great job!”
About: I have had much experience with pets my whole life. Growing up I always had pets in the house. If there is anything wrong with the pet I will gladly be able to take them to the vet. I have volunteered at animal shelters to help get dogs adopted. Dogs bring me so much joy and are fun to be around. Even when I am a little stressed with homework. I love animals so much. It gives me such joy playing both inside and outside with dogs. I hope that by throwing the ball and playing fetch with each and every dog I will grow to love dogs even more. You know what they say "a dog is a man's best friend", and I truly believe that.

“Debra was wonderful with my dog Kiwi who gets scared in new situations. I saw how he took to her and he looked very comfortable to be with her and excited to play with her dogs. Thanks Debra!!!”
“Olive had a great day of daycare with Summer and her pack! Summer and her husband were very flexible and open to accommodate Olive and they were both patient with her nervousness. We’ll definitely be reaching out in the future!”
“Lauren was so awesome with our 5 month old pup!! It was our first time putting her in doggy day care so as first time dog parents we were nervous but our dog took right to her and seemed to have the time of her life running around the backyard and playing with the other dogs. We felt comfortable leaving her there and Lauren was awesome with communication from start to finish and sent us pictures and updates during the day. Highly recommend Lauren!!”
“Still in recovery from an attack by a large dog, our little seven pound puppy Maui needed extra TLC. Martine and Ron were as loving and caring as we could ever had hoped for. I recommend them most highly and without reservation!”
“Ivy is an awesome sitter! She is communicative and sends multiple updates through the day; I love getting cute mid-play action pics! Her dog, Skylar, is just the cutest and is super friendly. My pup wasted no time warming up to her and playing right away. Will definitely book again ☺️”
“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”
About: Hello! I graduated from NC State and currently work in technology so I'm frequently working from home and can be there for your bff. I've been taking care of dogs (and cats) for 10+ years and 10/10 humans rate me as a good sitter. I currently don't have a dog or any pets at all as my work frequently requires me to travel so I'll be using this opportunity to fill that void. I like to stay active and am a frequent visitor of our local parks and green ways, I love to travel and see new places and curling up on the couch with a good cup of tea. I would be so delighted to hang out with your loved one while you are away!
“Teddy had a great time at Melissa’s! He came home very tired and she sent lots of videos and pix of Teddy running around with her dogs in the fenced in backyard. I would definitely take Teddy back to them in the future.”
“Shelly did a great job caring for June Bug, especially when we needed someone to care for her last minute. Very responsive when we reached out! Would definitely book with her again!”
“Isabella and her family took great care of our pup while we were out of town. She kept us up to date on daily activities with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Isabella and her pet services.”
“It was the first time we left our dog, so were a little worried but Kim kept us posted about Teddy's stay there. She sent us pictures, our dog looked very happy. We will strongly recommend her and will use her service again.”
“This was our first time using Arden, and we could tell right away that she’s wonderful with dogs — especially with Rooney! We were well informed with updates and photos throughout the day, and it was clear Rooney was happy, safe, and well cared for. Arden took her on walks and let her relax on the gated back porch, which she loved. We’ll definitely book with Arden again!”
“Siobhan has an ease with dogs of all personality types. I left my neurotic pound puppy with separation anxiety for one day and she was excited to go back. It is so comforting to know that when I'm away, Macy is living her best life playing with friends and being loved. So grateful for Siobhan.”
“Gretchen was absolutely amazing with our dog, Molly. This was our first time using Rover, and naturally we were a little nervous leaving her with someone new, especially because Molly can be anxious and has a few special considerations. Gretchen immediately put us at ease. She was kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making Molly feel safe and comfortable in her home. We received updates and could tell Molly was being genuinely cared for, not just watched. Gretchen was also very patient with Molly’s quirks and made the entire experience stress-free for us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive.”

About: I have had pets my whole life and still currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a Guinea pig. I have been responsible for cleaning up after them, grooming, playing, and providing their medicine when needed. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters and have gained knowledge about different temperaments and personalities when working with the many dogs. Also in my time during high school I was one of the more reliable animal caregivers within the students. I am currently on summer break from college and I am available during most of the summer and would love to spend time with your pets while you take a nice vacation with the family! I spend lots of time with my pets at home and make sure they get the loving that they need. We cuddle, play, and even nap together. Within a clients home I would be happy to adjust and give the animal the cuddles they need or tug of war they want.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars! Absolutely incredible sitter, I could tell that she treated my babies like her own. I cannot recommend Brooklynn enough! She took care of my two precious baby girls this past week, and she was an absolute lifesaver. From the very beginning, she proved to be super flexible, communicative, and punctual. She provided amazing care for my girls the entire week, ensuring all their routines were followed perfectly. The daily pictures and updates she sent gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It is so clear how much she truly cares about animals.I will definitely be returning to her for future pet sitting and dog walking needs! I highly believe she provides true 5-star service. Thank you, Brooklynn!!❤️”
“I have been booking with Emma for over a month, 3-4x per week and she has been absolutely amazing. Always available when I needed her (even at last minute requests). She does so well with my fur baby and I can tell he gets super excited when she stops by. Definitely recommend!”
“Marissa is awesome! She goes above and beyond to make sure my babies feel comfortable and cared for. This is my first time working full time, in person, and Marissa has made the transition easy and stress free. I have used her for daily walks for my dog and check-ins for my cats when I am out of town. I absolutely recommend her services!!”
“Trisha is officially Bella’s favorite! Bella looks forward to walks and cuddles with Trisha. Excellent communication and always takes awesome pictures of Bella. Highly recommend Trisha that we’ve become one of Trisha’s weekly clients.”

“Jacob helped us out in a pinch when we moved and we couldn’t be more grateful for his hard work. He cares so much about Penny and leaves photos and walk recaps. Hw is consistent and Penny looks forward to his walks. He was understanding and fair when we had two errors as owners (address not updated and key not left under mat.). Highly recommend!”

“I met Shelly a few days before the first dog walk and immediately felt comfortable. Shelly is very friendly, respectful, and on time. Shelly came for the first time to take my black lab, and everything went smoothly. Shelly had no issues following the instructions to get into my building and apartment, which we went over on the first day. My black lab loved Shelly and had a great walk!”
“Todd was fantastic! He was timely, responsive, gave lots of love and cuddles with our dogs, and asked great questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable, warm dog walker.”
“Thank you so much!! This made my whole day 🥹 Jersey is my old lady so she definitely moves a little slower during the day — totally normal for her! So glad there were no soupy surprises downstairs lol. We would absolutely love to have you walk them again — so happy they were good for you!! 🐾💕”
“Taylor was wonderful in caring for our dog, Archie. She communicated with us well and spent a lot of time caring for him during our time away. Would highly recommend booking with Taylor!!”
“Makayla was wonderful with our GusGus. She was prompt for each walk and walked Gus the exact amount we asked. She sent many photos and updated us regularly on GusGus' mood and anxiety, especially over the 4th of July.”
