“Adriana has been so wonderful every step of the way! She was very flexible when I needed to reschedule our meet and greet. She welcomed my family and dog into her beautiful home and has a great set up for hosting dogs. She has a perfect fenced backyard and we were able to see how her dog and cat interacted with our high energy dog. We had a last-minute change of travel plans due to illness and Adriana was so kind and helped us figure out a new plan. Once we dropped off our dog she sent frequent video and photo updates. Her family made sure he had a lot of play time and exercise through games in their yard and neighborhood walks. She is very organized, kind and a great communicator. I highly recommend her and we will definitely trust her with our dog for future travel.”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Ashton and his wife took excellent care of my dogs while I was away. They were kind, reliable, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. My dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. The pickup and drop-off process was smooth and easy, and I could tell they genuinely cared about my pets. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitters!”
“Amanda and her family were great with out little Pluto. He loved being around her dog Chai and her wonderful children. We loved it so much that he is going back this weekend. Thank you so much Amanda.”
“Amanda was wonderful and our little fur baby loved her! She was extremely accommodating with our schedule and last minute flight changes. Amanda also kept us updated daily and sent pictures/videos to help us feel comfortable as this was our first time leaving our puppy overnight. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to make sure their babies are loved and cared for!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Sure, here's a longer review: --- **Review for Dog Sitting:** Andrea was super friendly and really good with Nova. Nova had a blast during her stay, and it was clear she was in great hands. Andrea made sure to send me regular updates and pictures, which put my mind at ease and let me see how much fun Nova was having. She played with her favorite toys, and made sure she got plenty of cuddle time. I was so impressed with Andrea's attention to detail and her dedication to making Nova feel comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Andrea for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Nova and I couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
“Brooke took really good care of our dog while we were away. I would receive pictures daily. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Brooke and will definitely use her again.”
“We are thrilled with the care our golden retriever received from Rebecca and her husband. They are caring, loving people with extensive experience with dog sitting. Our dog had an incredible experience, and I look forward to rebooking with Rebecca the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a reliable, active, and detail-oriented dog sitter. I tailor every stay to your dog's unique routine and personality. Fully equipped to handle feeding, medication, exercise and plenty of TLC. Let's chat about how I can make your dog's day great! I do doggie daycare/boarding full time, so I am always home. During the day, the pups go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the fenced yard, if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
“Julia is AMAZING and made me feel at ease when leaving my pup with her when he wasn't feeling 100%. She gave me updates as needed and I was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest knowing Julia was willing and able to do what was needed to make Lincoln feel comfortable and at home!”
About: My husband and I have been around dogs our entire lives and have hands-on experience caring for them in a home environment. Currently, we have a large, professionally trained dog who has helped us develop strong skills in structure, consistency, and understanding dog behavior. She was trained through 6 months, and we continue to reinforce that training daily, so I’m very comfortable with commands, routines, and maintaining a calm, well-balanced environment. We have experience with: • Large and high-energy breeds • Maintaining feeding schedules and routines • Reinforcing basic training and good behavior • Reading dog body language and temperament • Creating a safe, calm environment for multiple dogs For us, safety and attentiveness are second nature. We are always present, aware, and intentional about making sure every dog in our care feels comfortable, secure, and well looked after. Your dog will never feel like they’re in a kennel they’ll feel like they’re part of our family. Your dog’s stay will feel like a true home away from home, safe, loving, and tailored just for them. • Daily walks (morning, afternoon, and evening) plus plenty of outdoor time • Support with training and reinforcement of good habits, we’ve worked with professional trainers and are happy to continue that structure • Lots of snuggles, attention, and one-on-one care • Supervised playtime with our gentle, well-trained dog, Paris • Calm evenings with a consistent, comforting routine • Kind, dog-loving kids who interact gently and safely We’re highly attentive to each dog’s unique needs and energy level, whether they’re playful and active or more relaxed and cuddly. We’re happy to accommodate your dog’s individual sleeping routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Whether they prefer sleeping in a crate, on a dog bed, or having their own space to roam (including an entire floor if needed), we’ll follow your preferences and keep their routine consistent with what they’re used to at home. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and part of our family while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We provide a calm, structured, and impeccably clean home where dogs are always supervised and cared for with intention. To ensure a truly personalized, low-stress, luxury experience, we limit the number of dogs in our care. We typically host just one client at a time, if you have multiple dogs, we’re happy to accommodate your family together. We never exceed three dogs total, including our own, so every dog receives dedicated attention, comfort, and care. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and all interactions, whether with our dog Paris or my children, are closely monitored to ensure safe, positive experiences. Paris is well-trained, gentle, and accustomed to being around other dogs. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and temperament so we can provide a consistent and comfortable stay. Feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions are followed closely. Our home is designed to feel like a second home, not a kennel, where your dog can relax, feel safe, and be genuinely cared for. ***We take trust and safety very seriously and are committed to following your dog’s routine as closely as possible. This includes accommodating any feeding method or dietary needs, whether that’s raw food, fresh or home-cooked meals, kibble, or more specific requirements like low-protein or other restricted diets. We carefully follow your instructions to ensure consistency, safety, and your dog’s overall well-being.*** We also provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident while you're away. We understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with who is caring for your dog. When we've have used Rover for Paris, we always appreciated the opportunity to meet beforehand, so we are more than happy to offer a meet-and-greet prior to booking. This gives you the chance to see our home, ask any questions, and feel confident in the safe, calm, and personalized care your dog will receive while staying with our family.
“I have boarded my dog, Axel, with Cherie and twice now i believe that he was the best hands possible. She treats him like one of her own and I’m so glad her family loves him as much as much as we do.”
“Our dog Abbie could tell right away that Yingying and her whole family were dog lovers. I had never left our precious pup with anyone through Rover before but felt extremely comfortable leaving her with Yingying and family. They genuinely seemed to enjoy playing with Abbie, were incredibly conscientious about allergies, food, medication, and other doggie necessities, and communication was OUTSTANDING. I would definitely give the highest possible recommendation to Yingying and her family,”
“Megan was great! She was very good at communicating and checked in with us with any questions she had. She sent pictures everyday! Thank you for taking such great care of Gracie while we were away.”
“Rose had a great overnight with Jodi. Jodi was super nice and made Rose comfortable in a new space. We got updates and photos so we knew Rose was doing well. Rose hasn’t been boarded very often so we are very happy to have someone to look out for her. We’ll definitely use Jodi agin.”
“Donnie 100% exceeded all of my expectations! I had a unique situation which required long term housing for my two pups, and after talking thru with Donnie we came to an understanding. He gave consistent updates about my dogs and wasn’t hesitant to ask any clarifying questions if needed. Each picture and video my dogs looked happy as ever. Even did some obedience/extra training while I was away, checking beforehand if I was ok with it of course. Donnie is reliable, respectful, and absolutely a dog person at heart. He will make sure your pup(s) are happy, healthy, and safe. Will be booking again in the future!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and dog owner, I’ve been caring for pets since I was young. Over the last 4 years, I’ve house sat and cared for dogs for friends and family, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, routines, and overnight care.

I currently have a job where I work remotely for half the week and I am home on the weekends. I am free for boarding wednesdays after 4 through the weekend. I have a very flexible schedule at work so would be able to extend trips when needed! I currently have a large backyard that is fully fenced in and plenty of safe neighborhoods nearby for long walks. Caring for pets inside I have a clean home with no clutter to be sure the pets are safe with nothing to get into. I enjoy spending time with pets so am always playing and cuddling with them! When I am away I would always be sure they are safe and happy before leaving and could lock them up if need be but with my animals I like to let them roam when I am not home.

“My girl LOVES her days with Amanda! She gets so excited to go in the morning and comes home exhausted from playing all day! It’s amazing to have someone you know your dog loves being with!”
“Brooke is so kind and sweet and my pup loved her - I definitely felt like he was in good hands while she watched him for the day. She is quickly responsive to text messages as well. Great experience!”
“Lindsey was so accommodating when we had to leave Oreo (our Shi Tzu) with her for 4 days. She has a Chihuahua of her own and both of them became friends. I would recommend her for your pet day care.”
About: I am an animal and nature lover who loves being outdoors and taking care of animals. I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. We love going on walks and playing inside. I have 4 kids that are full of energy and love playing with animals as much as I do! I work from home so I am always around and love talking daily walks early in the morning, at lunch and at dinner time. My golden doodle is always looking for new friends too! I have plenty of indoor space for play and a built in playful friend in my golden doodle so your dog will never be bored but can also have separate time for relaxation as needed
“Colleen was so welcoming and has a wonderful setup for dogs, with a spacious enclosed yard for them to run and play, as well as plenty of room inside. She’s great at communicating and sent videos and photos throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. Mr. Smithers had the best time—he came home happy, completely tuckered out, and was still recovering from all the fun the next morning! It’s clear he loved making new friends. I highly recommend Colleen and will definitely book with her again!”
“Sheena and her family are the best! Stella had a wonderful stay, all the communication was great, she was surrounded by loving family and had a great time. Everything was very well organized, and super easy from our point of you.”

About: Hello, thanks for considering me to help care for your family! A little about me- I’ve had dogs my whole life. A lovable quirky Golden and quite a few Akitas. I’ve found every dog has unique needs and especially adoptees and rescues, need extra patience and understanding to gain your trust. I like to be mindful and cater to each dog’s individual needs on a case by case basis so they get the best possible care, which they deserve. I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with care and love. I have experience with both puppies and aging dogs. At any stage in their life I’m happy to do what I can to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have cared for cats and dogs with daily check ins and in-house care. I feel strongly that both parties be comfortable with the pet care. You, the owners, should feel comfortable with me watching your pet(s) just as I should feel confident watching them. This is not just a way to earn some extra income (while that is important) your pet(s) deserve the best and if we are not a good match both parties are welcome to decline the care if we feel that’s best so your loved one(s), you, and I all feel good about the situation. Communication is key and as I mentioned if either of us feel unsure or unsafe it’s not worth the compensation. I hope this little blurb is not a deterrent but rather an extra layer of assurance why I am a good candidate for your dog(s) by being honest, fair to all parties, and prioritizing everyone’s safety. That being said I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family members! I have experience with a variety of cats, Golden Retrievers, Akitas (up to 130 lbs), German Shepards, Terriers, Boxer-Pit mixes, Labrador’s, and quite a few other mutts. I like dogs, big or small! If there are any specific instructions, medications, specific training commands, check-in requests, or any other requests please let me know! I’m more than happy to work with you to confirm details and instructions and make sure you’re comfortable leaving your little family members, while making the process easy and stress free. Thanks for reading my profile and considering me to help watch over your creatures! I truly love animals and look forward to taking great care of yours. FLEXIBLE! My schedule is a little different every week and can be flexible as needed (especially if planned ahead of time). I’m happy to discuss scheduling options with you to cater to the timeframe(s) your pet(s) need care. Let’s chat! I take extra care when in anyone else’s space, whether that’s your apartment, house, condo, whatever your home looks like, it warrants respect, privacy, and care. I have experience with dogs being put in their cages when left alone, for dinner, or overnight. I also have experience with dogs sleeping in the same square foot I do! (And by that I mean I am their human-sized pillow so they can sleep comfortably haha). All depends on what you prefer, happy to chat about your preferences. This is your pet, your choice. I will respect your requests, just communicate what you expect for your dog/cat/creature and we’ll make sure we’re on the same page so you and your pet are comfortable. Just let me know and I’ll make it happen!
“Julianna was a great dog sitter. She met us the night before to us. She was flexible when our plans changed slightly. She was responsive to messages and provided lots of pictures and comments to put us at ease. We will definitely keep her in mind the next time we need a dog sitter when we are in Londonderry. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”
“Jodie is absolutely amazing! Booked her last minute for two days of daycare for my puppy and she excepted right away. Her updates and communication throughout the day is absolutely awesome. I could not recommend a better person to watch your pet. I will be continuing to use her for all my daycare and boarding needs! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!”

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover (with the occasional cat in the mix) and actively foster for a rescue. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Science so your pets will be more than well taken care of. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle breaks, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep them happy! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company! I can easily accommodate crating if needed. I’ll make sure your dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved.
About: I have not been an official sitter before, but I have been a dog owner for 20 years and know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. Dogs are family, and I understand the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We do not currently have any fur friends at home, so we would be honored to share that love with your dog. I provide a calm environment, pay attention to routines and needs, and communicate clearly so you can feel confident while you’re away. Because we do not currently have pets at home, we have room in our routine to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and companionship. We can be intentional about feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and we know how important it is to keep dogs on a routine that helps them feel safe and settled. We know dogs are family, so we care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. Our home is currently without other pets, which allows us to offer a calm environment and focused care. We will follow your instructions closely, pay attention to your dog’s comfort and behavior, and communicate clearly so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
“We have a 20 lb male Cavachon named Blazer. We were very pleased with Blazer’s stay with Robert. Robert was excellent at sending us pictures and keeping Blazer happy. Robert took Blazer for walks (even a special trip to the beach for Memorial Day) and let Blazer be comfortable on the furniture. We will book again with Robert.”
About: Looking to help fellow pup owners out for daily visits, walks, extended stays or quick weekend trips! I have been taking care of family & friends dogs for over a decade and can't wait to meet yours! We have an unfenced yard with runners, so the pups can roam on leash with us out back- plenty of room to play & relax. Our dog Ollie loves making new friends (old & young, big or small)! He is used to having new dogs in the house, as we used to foster. Please message if you’re looking for a home that will give your pup extra love while you’re away! :) I am a full time student taking online classes- so, I am home during the day and would love to help make sure your dog has their daily needs met! Our home is completely dog friendly. Our 4 pawed friends always seem to find a cozy spot to take a nap, whether it’s on the couch, chair or a bed! Our neighborhood is also wonderful for walks.
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life. I've had dogs of varying breeds and sizes (2 Wheaten Terriers, 2 Vizslas, Dachshund, 3 Yorkies, Hound mix, Wire Fox Terrier) and had cats most of my life too. I currently have one dogs of my own, a Wheaten Terrier named Sundae who loves everyone. I am currently working from home and live right on the rail trail where I can take your precious pup on walks throughout the day. I have ample experience with puppies, special needs dogs (meds dispensing including injections), and nursing and pregnant mommas to be! I have extra crates and plenty of expen fencing I can put up at any time! I am currently working from home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets. We sometimes go on trips or hikes, but mostly we stay close to home. If your pets are friendly they will get along well with my girl Sundae. If not, as a former show dog exhibitor, I am well versed in the art of "crate and rotate," or if needed "cozy bedroom and rotate." Safety and cleanliness comes first, always.
“I handed Katherine an elderly, deaf, medically compromised Cavalier and she did a beautiful job caring for Miley who needed medications and soothing comfort. What we learned is Miley will do best staying in her own familiar home to have care come to her. Katherine called with any concerns and shared pics. I would trust Katherine to care for Miley again given how knowledgeable and gentle she is. Katherine showed both customer service and professionalism while Miley was in her care. A 5 star provider”

“I’m very skeptical when it comes to having someone else take care of my pets but John was amazing! We left for a day trip and I had no worries at all knowing that my babies were going to be in good hands.”
About: I have had a dog my whole life and have taken care of him throughout. Because of this I have experience with both puppy care as well as senior dog care. In addition I have cat sitting experience from cat sitting my neighbors and extended family’s cats. Finally my family had chickens for several years and I was the primary care taker which further widened my experience of working with different types of animals, because of this I am familiar with and open to all types of animal care. I work part time off and on so I have plenty of time to check on, walk, or provide any other type of service for your pet throughout the week. I treat every pet with the same love, respect and attentiveness that I would treat my own pet with. I play close attention to instructions given to me by pet owners and will ensure the safety of your pet at all times.
About: I’m an animal lover with animals of my own!🩷🐾 From training my own pets, to taking care of friends and families, I’ve had a fair share of experience! :) I’m currently a full time student at UNH who works as a server on the weekends! My schedule is mainly open for you and your animal companion! 🩷 I’ve been walking dogs since I was a little girl, so I know the ins and outs! I’m sure of safety and precautions when taking care of my own pets and especially yours🩷
“Nathan’s communication is top notch and his love of dogs is immediately evident. I was nervous about letting someone into my home to care for my dog when I had to return to the office full time, but I am very comfortable with Nathan. I highly recommend.”
“Lea was wonderful. Our 2 labs are 5 and 6 yo and this was the very first time we used someone outside of our inner circle. Lea made ua feel comfortable and confident in their care. We reached out last minute On a Monday for a Thurs/Fri booking and she was able to fit us in. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dogs.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and dog owner, I’ve been caring for pets since I was young. Over the last 4 years, I’ve house sat and cared for dogs for friends and family, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, routines, and overnight care. I also help care for my roommate’s dog regularly, so I’m comfortable with the daily responsibilities that come with keeping pets happy, safe, and on schedule.

When I am away I would always be sure they are safe and happy before leaving and could lock them up if need be but with my animals I like to let them roam when I am not home.
“Highly recommend! We use Josh for dog walks and couldn’t be happier. Our dogs LOVE Josh and so do we. He is extremely dependable, an amazing communicator, and treats our girls like their one of his own. One of our girls can be very reactive towards other dogs while on walks and Josh took the time to help with this. He was even able to include one of his dogs on a walk with our reactive pup after some training. The walk went great and we can see such a difference in our girls behavior for the better! We truly couldn’t ask for better care for our girls. 10/10!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am very comfortable caring for them day-to-day. I understand dogs’ routines, body language, and needs, and I treat every dog with patience, attention, and care I currently work part time at a retail store so I’m not usually busy depending on the day but my day to day may vary I care for pets by following their routine closely, making sure they’re fed, exercised, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own dogs.
“I really liked Jessica, my dog walker and “mama” to sarge for 3 weeks! She was extremely reliable and loved sarge as I do. I couldn’t have gotten a better person to walk and take care of my dog while I was away. She sent pictures and and texts every day she was there with him. I would definitely ask her to take care of him again on my next vacation and will recommend Jessica to my family and friends”
About: Lifelong animal lover with years of experience, caring for a senior dog on weekends and weekdays as needed. As a pet owner to both a bunny and a cat, I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to providing a safe, fun, and positive experience for your furry family members. 🐾 Because I work part-time, my schedule changes weekly, but I’m usually available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I also have some weekends free, depending on my work schedule. I’m very flexible and always willing to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best. Whenever I have availability, I’m happy to help with last-minute pet care requests! Since I am unable to host pets in my own home, I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment. I understand that trust is important when inviting someone into your home, and I always treat both your home and pets with respect and care. I follow instructions closely and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I currently have two cats and two dogs that I absolutely adore and consider part of the family. I've also pet sat for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. After caring for a sick fur baby of my own, I'm comfortable giving medications and helping pets who need a little extra attention or medical care. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. ❤️ I’m currently a full-time college student completing my classes online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Because I can plan my coursework around my commitments, I’m able to be dependable and accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m more than happy to provide in-home visits to care for your precious pets. Before any visits begin, I like to meet with families to discuss any questions, concerns, or special care instructions. It’s also a great opportunity for your pets to get comfortable with me and for us to make sure we’re a good fit. My goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, confident, and at ease while you're away.
“Rachel was very communicative and kind. She took videos and pictures during our dog’s walk, which my wife greatly appreciates. She also filled in fairly short notice when our regular walker needed to tend to personal matters, so we are very grateful to her!”
About: I’m not just a sitter, I’m a full-time pet parent. My husband and I have two rescue dogs that we’ve raised and cared for over the past 6 years, starting from puppyhood. We’ve gone through training, learned how to handle different behaviors and built a home that revolves around happy, well cared for pets, including two rescue cats. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack, whether that means sticking to their routine, giving them extra patience, or making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and as a mom of two (less furry babies), I’m already used to planning my day around care, consistency and routines. That means I’m able to prioritize walks, drop ins, and check ins throughout the day. I’m often out and about locally, so it’s easy for me to incorporate visits and give pets the attention they need at consistent times. I always follow each pet owner’s lead when it comes to care. Every pet has their own routine, preferences and personality, so I take the time to listen carefully and stick as closely as possible to what they’re used to. In my home, pets are welcomed into a loving environment. We live in a quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood, which is great for safe, low-traffic walks and a more relaxed setting. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings.
About: I've had a dog for 10 years, I pet sit periodically, and I am known for responsibility and quality pet care. I've worked in-home stays, done drop-in visits, and vacation pet care. I'm currently working a full-time job, so I am available to pet-sit Friday-Sunday. During this time I'll be able to give my full attention to your pets! As a petsitter, I provide feeding, exercise, playtime, medication administration, and companionship, ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I look forward to meeting your pup!
“I highly recommend Annie! She has been so patient and caring with Peter, taking the time to let him get comfortable and build trust at his own pace. It means so much to know he’s in such kind and capable hands. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”

Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”

I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitters!”
“Amanda and her family were great with out little Pluto. He loved being around her dog Chai and her wonderful children. We loved it so much that he is going back this weekend. Thank you so much Amanda.”
“Amanda was wonderful and our little fur baby loved her! She was extremely accommodating with our schedule and last minute flight changes. Amanda also kept us updated daily and sent pictures/videos to help us feel comfortable as this was our first time leaving our puppy overnight. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to make sure their babies are loved and cared for!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Sure, here's a longer review: --- **Review for Dog Sitting:** Andrea was super friendly and really good with Nova. Nova had a blast during her stay, and it was clear she was in great hands. Andrea made sure to send me regular updates and pictures, which put my mind at ease and let me see how much fun Nova was having. She played with her favorite toys, and made sure she got plenty of cuddle time. I was so impressed with Andrea's attention to detail and her dedication to making Nova feel comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Andrea for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Nova and I couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
“Brooke took really good care of our dog while we were away. I would receive pictures daily. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Brooke and will definitely use her again.”
“We are thrilled with the care our golden retriever received from Rebecca and her husband. They are caring, loving people with extensive experience with dog sitting. Our dog had an incredible experience, and I look forward to rebooking with Rebecca the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a reliable, active, and detail-oriented dog sitter. I tailor every stay to your dog's unique routine and personality. Fully equipped to handle feeding, medication, exercise and plenty of TLC. Let's chat about how I can make your dog's day great! I do doggie daycare/boarding full time, so I am always home. During the day, the pups go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the fenced yard, if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
“Julia is AMAZING and made me feel at ease when leaving my pup with her when he wasn't feeling 100%. She gave me updates as needed and I was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest knowing Julia was willing and able to do what was needed to make Lincoln feel comfortable and at home!”
About: My husband and I have been around dogs our entire lives and have hands-on experience caring for them in a home environment. Currently, we have a large, professionally trained dog who has helped us develop strong skills in structure, consistency, and understanding dog behavior. She was trained through 6 months, and we continue to reinforce that training daily, so I’m very comfortable with commands, routines, and maintaining a calm, well-balanced environment. We have experience with: • Large and high-energy breeds • Maintaining feeding schedules and routines • Reinforcing basic training and good behavior • Reading dog body language and temperament • Creating a safe, calm environment for multiple dogs For us, safety and attentiveness are second nature. We are always present, aware, and intentional about making sure every dog in our care feels comfortable, secure, and well looked after. Your dog will never feel like they’re in a kennel they’ll feel like they’re part of our family. Your dog’s stay will feel like a true home away from home, safe, loving, and tailored just for them. • Daily walks (morning, afternoon, and evening) plus plenty of outdoor time • Support with training and reinforcement of good habits, we’ve worked with professional trainers and are happy to continue that structure • Lots of snuggles, attention, and one-on-one care • Supervised playtime with our gentle, well-trained dog, Paris • Calm evenings with a consistent, comforting routine • Kind, dog-loving kids who interact gently and safely We’re highly attentive to each dog’s unique needs and energy level, whether they’re playful and active or more relaxed and cuddly. We’re happy to accommodate your dog’s individual sleeping routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Whether they prefer sleeping in a crate, on a dog bed, or having their own space to roam (including an entire floor if needed), we’ll follow your preferences and keep their routine consistent with what they’re used to at home. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and part of our family while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We provide a calm, structured, and impeccably clean home where dogs are always supervised and cared for with intention. To ensure a truly personalized, low-stress, luxury experience, we limit the number of dogs in our care. We typically host just one client at a time, if you have multiple dogs, we’re happy to accommodate your family together. We never exceed three dogs total, including our own, so every dog receives dedicated attention, comfort, and care. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and all interactions, whether with our dog Paris or my children, are closely monitored to ensure safe, positive experiences. Paris is well-trained, gentle, and accustomed to being around other dogs. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and temperament so we can provide a consistent and comfortable stay. Feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions are followed closely. Our home is designed to feel like a second home, not a kennel, where your dog can relax, feel safe, and be genuinely cared for. ***We take trust and safety very seriously and are committed to following your dog’s routine as closely as possible. This includes accommodating any feeding method or dietary needs, whether that’s raw food, fresh or home-cooked meals, kibble, or more specific requirements like low-protein or other restricted diets. We carefully follow your instructions to ensure consistency, safety, and your dog’s overall well-being.*** We also provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident while you're away. We understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with who is caring for your dog. When we've have used Rover for Paris, we always appreciated the opportunity to meet beforehand, so we are more than happy to offer a meet-and-greet prior to booking. This gives you the chance to see our home, ask any questions, and feel confident in the safe, calm, and personalized care your dog will receive while staying with our family.
“I have boarded my dog, Axel, with Cherie and twice now i believe that he was the best hands possible. She treats him like one of her own and I’m so glad her family loves him as much as much as we do.”
“Our dog Abbie could tell right away that Yingying and her whole family were dog lovers. I had never left our precious pup with anyone through Rover before but felt extremely comfortable leaving her with Yingying and family. They genuinely seemed to enjoy playing with Abbie, were incredibly conscientious about allergies, food, medication, and other doggie necessities, and communication was OUTSTANDING. I would definitely give the highest possible recommendation to Yingying and her family,”
“Megan was great! She was very good at communicating and checked in with us with any questions she had. She sent pictures everyday! Thank you for taking such great care of Gracie while we were away.”
“Donnie 100% exceeded all of my expectations! I had a unique situation which required long term housing for my two pups, and after talking thru with Donnie we came to an understanding. He gave consistent updates about my dogs and wasn’t hesitant to ask any clarifying questions if needed. Each picture and video my dogs looked happy as ever. Even did some obedience/extra training while I was away, checking beforehand if I was ok with it of course. Donnie is reliable, respectful, and absolutely a dog person at heart. He will make sure your pup(s) are happy, healthy, and safe. Will be booking again in the future!”
“Julianna is amazing! She took care of our dog for a whole week and sent us daily updates with pictures. Her backyard is a dog’s oasis! We’ve already rebooked with her. I highly recommend her!”
“Taz was in great hands! The love she gave to him and cared for him was amazing! Taz will definitely be going back to Lucille. She was sending pictures and updates on him to us and we loved that.”
